An 87-year-old man committed suicide last Thursday while sitting in a car parked on the 700 block of Galway Drive in San Lorenzo, according to the Alameda County Coroner's office.
The coroner's office said the man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The incident occurred at 1:06 pm.
Neighbors said the man used a shotgun.
Galway is a crossroads commonly trafficked by students from three schools: Edendale Middle School, Hesperian Elementary and San Lorenzo High.
Neighbors said some middleschoolers were passing through the block when the man parked his car alongside a fenced-off, vacant lot and took his life.
A Hesperian Elementary School parent also told Patch that she received a call from the school saying that buses of children may have passed the scene. She said children had an early day and were let out by 12:50 p.m. A therapist was said available at the elementary school on Friday, according to the parent.
Authorities told neighbors the man lived nearby. But they have released nothing else about the individual, why he took his life or why in this particular spot.

It's deceptively easy to make mistakes on your resume and exceptionally difficult to repair the damage once an employer gets it. So prevention is critical, whether you're writing your first resume or revising it for a mid-career job search. Check out this resume guide to the most common pitfalls and how you can avoid them.
1. Typos and Grammatical Errors
Your resume needs to be grammatically perfect. If it isn't, employers will read between the lines and draw not-so-flattering conclusions about you, like: "This person can't write," or "This person obviously doesn't care."
2. Lack of Specifics
Employers need to understand what you've done and accomplished. For example:
A. Worked with employees in a restaurant setting.
B. Recruited, hired, trained and supervised more than 20 employees in a restaurant with $2 million in annual sales.
Both of these phrases could describe the same person, but the details and specifics in example B will more likely grab an employer's attention.
3. Attempting One Size Fits All
Whenever you try to develop a one-size-fits-all resume to send to all employers, you almost always end up with something employers will toss in the recycle bin. Employers want you to write a resume specifically for them. They expect you to clearly show how and why you fit the position in a specific organization.
4. Highlighting Duties Instead of Accomplishments
It's easy to slip into a mode where you simply start listing job duties on your resume. For example:
Attended group meetings and recorded minutes.
Worked with children in a day-care setting.
- Updated departmental files.
Employers, however, don't care so much about what you've done as what you've accomplished in your various activities. They're looking for statements more like these:

Drawing influence from a broad range of artists including Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley and more recently Joni Mitchell and Rick Price, Candice McLeod has developed a style that is uniquely her own.
December 7, 2012 was a very proud day for 21-year-old singer/songwriter, Candice McLeod as she released her debut single, 'Whispers'. 2013 sees this young artist calling the open road home, whilst touring the country throughout the year to promote her release.
Playing piano from the age of 3, Candice later branched out to guitar and soon found herself singing and writing her own songs. In 2007, she was a finalist in the Q-Song Awards for her songwriting abilities.
Candice's trademark exuberance has already captivated audiences at a wide variety of venues around Australia, from cafes and restaurants to large outdoor festivals and leading venues such as The Great Northern Hotel (Byron Bay), Lizotte's (Dee Why), The Pacific Hotel (Yamba), The Republic Bar (Hobart), The Loft (Gold Coast) and The Sol Bar (Maroochydore).
Described as endearing and unique, and embracing a different lifestyle to most, Candice couldn't be more thrilled to be living a life on the road. Her live shows truly reveal this gypsy soul in her most raw form.

German cartoonist Arne Bellstorf's latest book, Baby's in Black, is a graphic novel that tells the story of the courtship of the photographer Astrid Kirchherr and Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bassist of the Beatles during their early period in Hamburg, Germany. The story may be familiar to hardcore Beatles fanatics, but Bellstorf's artwork is fresh and distinct, rendering the lovers and the youthful Beatles in a clean, dynamic style that mixes bold black ink lines with softer shading in black crayon.
Bellstorf was inspired to tell the story after discovering Kirchherr's own artwork. "I found Astrid's photos and I didn't know anything about both her relationship to the Beatles and Stuart," he told Rolling Stone. "The first thing I saw [of hers was a] famous self-portrait in front of a mirror. And I was just curious who this young pretty girl in Sixties Hamburg, my home town."
"I read a lot about her and Stuart, and learned that the Beatles began their career in Hamburg," says Bellstorf. "I wasn't aware of that, that was 2007. Now we have this Beatlemania museum right out on Reeperbahn and there are guided tours. But back then, we had nothing like that."
Bellstorf achieves wonderfully intuitive likenesses of Kirchherr and the Beatles in the book, but had to work to keep iconic images of the musicians out of his mind. "I wasn't a big Beatles fan, so I always had a picture of the late Beatles in my head, but it was interesting to learn that the Beatles started out as a rock & roll cover band in Hamburg," he says. "My drawing style is usually pretty linear-clear, very reduced and simple and not naturalistic at all, but I showed my first draft to Astrid and she just laughed and said it was very cute. She liked the noses and the funny hair, how I depicted their pretty boy look."

By Sarah Turner, MarketWatch
SYDNEY (MarketWatch) — Hong Kong-listed bank stocks broadly outperformed those of Singapore lenders last year, but analysts are divided over whether the roles will reverse in 2011.
Analysts at UBS favored Singapore financials, saying in a note that: "It's time to back a different city in 2011."
They've concluded that greater upside potential exists in 2011 for Singapore laggards than for star 2010 Hong Kong performers. To adjust their stock recommendations in line with this view, they recently downgraded mainland-based Bank of China Ltd.'s /quotes/zigman/35803/delayed HK:3988 +1.37% /quotes/zigman/529024/delayed/quotes/nls/bachy BACHY +0.52% Hong Kong-listed shares and stock in Wing Hang Bank Ltd. /quotes/zigman/11604/delayed HK:0302 +0.24% /quotes/zigman/11605/delayed/quotes/nls/wghgf WGHGF +14.04% to sell from neutral.
Bank of China climbed 0.7% on Tuesday, while Wing Hang Bank shares rose 0.6%. Over the last 12 months, Bank of China shares have gained 11.3%, while Wing Hang Bank shares are up 60.8%.
The broker's preferred Singapore banking-sector pick is Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. or OCBC, while it also believes DBS Group Holdings Ltd. and United Overseas Bank Ltd., or UOB, appear to hold good value relative to Hong Kong lenders.
OCBC shares /quotes/zigman/370652/delayed SG:O39 +0.21% /quotes/zigman/370653/delayed/quotes/nls/ovchf OVCHF +0.92% edged up 0.2% on Tuesday, DBS shares /quotes/zigman/205897/delayed SG:D05 -0.06% /quotes/zigman/205898/delayed/quotes/nls/dbsdf DBSDF -1.03% were higher by 0.4%, while UOB shares /quotes/zigman/205992/delayed SG:U11 -0.88% /quotes/zigman/205993/delayed/quotes/nls/uovef UOVEF +0.86% added 0.5%. OCBC shares notched a 15.2% gain over the last 12 months, while DBS shares lost 3.7% and UOB shares slipped 0.9%.
Hu on currencies, China economy
Chinese President Hu Jintao's comments on currencies, balancing the Chinese economy, and China's growing clout abroad.
The UBS analysts said that it's difficult to find material differences in operating environments for Hong Kong and Singapore lenders.
"Both are city states, both have wealth-per-capita ratios that are among the highest in the world, and both are considered major financial centers," the analysts said.
They said Hong Kong benefits from growth in mainland China, but Singapore is well positioned to benefit from growth in Malaysia, Indonesia and other Asian markets.
However, they added that "both markets are also implicitly importing U.S. monetary policy via inappropriately low interest rates, which threaten asset bubbles."
The UBS analysts said Singapore lenders beat their Hong Kong rivals in terms of both valuation and earnings prospects.
On the valution side, the analysts said that on a price-to-book basis, Hong Kong banks have traded at a roughly 50% premium to Singapore lenders over the past five to 10 years.
"The re-rating has not, to date, been justified by better earnings-upgrade momentum in Hong Kong. Expectations in Hong Kong also seem considerably more stretched for 2011," they said.
UBS analysts said Hong Kong lenders would need to produce strong top-line growth over the next 12-18 months to alter their view on the sector.
Hong Kong's upside
But not all brokers are negative on the Hong Kong banking sector.

Kyle Von Tungeln and Chris ODowd hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the fifth inning, and Sam Moll and four relievers combined to shut down Spokane in the Tri-City Dust Devils 4-1 Northwest League win over the Indians at Avista Stadium on Monday.
The three-run fifth was all the support the Dust Devils pitchers needed in the first game of a three-game series in Spokane.
The win pulled Tri-City (15-16) within a game of .500.
Moll threw four innings of four-hit ball, allowing one run.
Shawn Stuart (3-1) came on in the fifth for two clean innings before Marc Magliaro, Jerad McCrummen and Eric Nedeljkovic each threw a scoreless frame.
Nedeljkovic got the save, his first, and the bullpen allowed just one hit over five innings.
The series continues with a game in Spokane at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The two teams play again Wednesday, before the Dust Devils return home Thursday against Salem-Keizer.

Metallica sat down over the weekend in Mexico City for a Q&A that touched on the band's next album, reports Blabbermouth.net. When asked if the group is working on new material, the musicians confirmed they have begun thinking about the follow up to Death Magnetic. "We're not going to start recording, we're going to start writing," drummer Lars Ulrich said. "We don't know what's inspiring us right now," continued frontman James Hetfield. "I've been itching to write for a long time — all of us have — so there's lots of ideas." Still, Metallica has some inkling of where they're headed. "[There are] lots of riffs to jam on, and that's pretty exciting for us," bassist Robert Trujillo added.
But fans shouldn't hold their breath — not even the band knows what the process will be like. "It could go very quick, it could take a long time; we have no idea. That's the beauty of the artform," said Hetfield. Though Metallica recorded Lulu, their collaborative album with Lou Reed, in 10 days, the group isn't sure how the experience will impact their next record. "I think everything we do affects the next thing somehow. We don't know how that will show up. That is another way of writing," Hetfield said. "I think it gave us confidence that we can go in and trust a little more of the moment. There's another side of this that is complete obsessive and perfectionist. So finding a balance is key."
Metallica is in the middle of an eight-show run in Mexico City, with six dates to go at the Sports Palace through August 9th. The group then heads to San Francisco for the Outside Lands festival on August 11th. Their last record, Death Magnetic, was released in 2008.

The Daily Star
---- — A 5-year-old Unadilla girl was beaming with smiles Wednesday when her runaway horse was returned to her by a pair of men who found the four-legged wayfarer after it wandered up a hill several miles from its home.
"The two of them made a little girl very happy today," said Melinda Memoli, whose daughter, Gabriella, had gotten the horse named Spirit two weeks ago as a present.
She said the two men who found spirit were Albert Lepera and Richard Hall. The horse had found its way to a hill off Martin Brook Street, which is approximately six miles from the Memoli house.
"Spirit is home safe and sound, and my daughter is very happy," Memoli said.

This was one of the nicest B & B's I have ever been to.

Fliq Application Now Available on App Store
Let me just start off by saying, no this will not take the place of a real MMS app. I think that ball is in Apple's court. But Fliq will come in handy if you have a few friends with iPhones and are connected to the same WiFi network.
What is Fliq? Fliq was created by Mark/Space and is a "social networking application that allows iPhone and iPod touch users to instantly send, or "beam", photos and contacts to one another".
Now this is all fine and dandy but one thing I wish this app allowed you to do to is send data via a 3G or EDGE signal. Because lets face it, how often do you share a WiFi signal with a bunch of friends with iPhones? None the less, this app is worth trying out and for the low price of free at the App Store you really have nothing to lose. Give it a go and let us know what you think in the comments!
There are 5 comments. Add yours.
Take a look at Handshake - it does the same thing over edge, 3g and wifi. Works great!
true...but I don't remember a program on the palm that let me share with a window's mobile. What about a program like iBeam which let's you email the vcard or photo to 'any device with an email'. Plus the barcode thing looks like a fun gimmick. Haven't tried that one myself, though.
Handshake is the best one right now. I was using iBeam, but Handshake tops it. Handshake is free with ads or $2.99 without ads. Otherwise both versions are the same.

May 17, 2004
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to thank the Governor of Virginia and our senators and delegates from both parties for approving a budget supportive of higher education in general, and Old Dominion University in particular.
My sincere appreciation also goes to each one of you who called and wrote your representatives on behalf of Old Dominion University. I would like to thank Vice President John Broderick and Elizabeth Wallace for their special assistance, as well as the members of the Board of Visitors, the Educational Foundation, and the Alumni Association who were strong advocates for the university.
The budget provides "a portion of the funding needed to provide adequate base support of the institution's core academic function. These additional funds will allow the institution to serve more students, retain existing students more effectively, increase the number of students receiving a degree or certificate, and enhance the quality and rigor of academic programs."
The budget also includes a 3-percent merit raise for classified staff effective Nov. 25, 2004. In addition, Old Dominion University plans to set aside funds for in-band adjustments permitted by the state compensation and classification system and commits to funding the results of this process over the next few years. Such adjustments will be made at the date of award without retroactivity. For faculty administrators, the budget includes an average 3 percent raise for merit on Nov. 25, 2004. The university will also set aside a fund to begin to deal with market and internal salary alignment and will commit to funding this process in subsequent years. The state budget provides for an average 3-percent merit increase in salary for instructional and research faculty. In addition, the university will add an average of 1.5 percent for a total merit increase averaging 4.5 percent. Also, a fund will be created to deal with equity, retention, compression, and promotion. This fund will be continued in future years as required. All adjustments from this fund will be made at the time of the award. The amount for all categories of employees set aside to address salary issues other than performance will exceed $1 million.
The budget increases student financial assistance by $438,034 per annum and provides one-time research funding in year two of the biennium for research in coastal environmental science and computational modeling.
The equipment trust fund was increased by $1.3 million and a funding adjustment was made for the new Engineering and Computational Sciences Building.
The budget also provides for in-state tuition rates for dependents of military personnel stationed in Virginia for one year only, unless the student or parent is paying income taxes in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The annual funding for the university's Maintenance Reserve will increase from $318,672 to $1.13 million.
Finally, the budget authorized $55 million to support capital projects including $1 million for 43rd Street improvements, $16.5 million for renovation of the H&PE building, $4.6 million for Teletechnet expansion at the Virginia Community Colleges, $1.7 million for Technology Building equipment, $1.5 million for fire sprinkler systems, $4 million for an indoor tennis center, $2.9 million for the Elizabeth River Waterfront project, $5.7 million for Athletic Facilities expansion, $8.2 million for a Village Parking Garage, $6.4 million for the 49th Street parking garage, $2 million for land acquisition, and enabling language for recreational land development plans with the City of Norfolk.
I am enclosing a copy of the amounts to be added to the base of each university in the Commonwealth for base adequacy and enrollment growth over the next two years (fiscal years 2004-2005, 2005-2006).
We must all try to use this funding wisely by supporting our most urgent needs and the strategic initiatives that will help our wonderful university become even better. As we complete our budget, let us celebrate the wisdom of those who drafted it and take pleasure in the use of black ink instead of red, and plus signs instead of minuses!
Sincerely yours,
Roseann Runte

Class AAA
1) Oak Hill (23) — Following a 5-0 start, the Red Devils (6-2) have dropped two of their last three and both came in lopsided fashion. They'll try to get back on track Friday at Woodrow Wilson.
2) Princeton (21) — The Tigers (5-4) have won three in a row to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They'll be off this week and finish the season Nov. 8 at James Monroe.
3) Greenbrier East (14) — The Spartans (5-4) picked up a win at Parkersburg South to stay alive in the hunt for a playoff spot. They'll be off this week before finishing at Oak Hill on Nov. 8.
4) Woodrow Wilson (12) — A shot at the postseason was probably erased with a loss at Princeton. Now playing for .500, the Flying Eagles (3-5), who have lost three of the last four, will be at Oak Hill on Friday.
5) Shady Spring (5) — Five straight losses have the Tigers (1-7) frustrated, but they're still playing hard and not giving up. They'll be at Liberty on Friday looking for something positive.
Class AA
1) Bluefield (25) — After losing to rival Princeton in Week 2, the Beavers (7-1) have been virtually unstoppable. They've won five straight and will host James Monroe on Friday.
2) Summers County (19) — First-year head coach Nate Tanner has the Bobcats (8-1) rolling toward the top of Class AA. They've won three straight and will finish at Richwood on Friday.
3) Nicholas County (15) — The Grizzlies (7-2) are playing for a first-round home game in the playoffs and have won four in a row. They'll be off Friday before hosting Richwood on Nov. 8.
4) Wyoming East (11) — Winners of four in a row, the Warriors (7-1) will be at Independence Friday after taking last week off. They'll finish up at home against Liberty on Nov. 8.
5) Westside (3) — The Renegades (3-5) have lost two of their last three, but after a week off to regroup they'll head to Mount View on Friday. The season ends against River View Nov. 8.

Wheelie bins will not cost the taxpayer money - SDC defends new recycling scheme
5:17pm Thursday 19th July 2012 in Letters
MADAM - In response to the three recent letters in the SNJ expressing concerns over the costs of the wheelie-bins for new recycling scheme, I hope your readers will forgive me for repeating a message, that your newspaper has already covered on previous occasions: there is NO extra cost of introducing the new scheme, once again ZERO , NOTHING.
The increase in recycling generates an income which offsets the costs of the service including new collection vehicles and the wheelie-bins.
In fact if everyone takes up the system and recycles everything they now can there will actually be extra income to the district council through recycling credits which mean savings for the taxpayer. We are asking everyone who can possibly have a bin to try it for few months. (Reusable bags can be supplied if it is really completely impossible to accommodate or empty a bin.) Most of the recyclable material that should go in these bins is relatively light - unless like our family we recycle lots of glass bottles - so most bins will be relatively easy to wheel. The bins will last 10-15 years and are emptied into the back of the recycling lorries rather than emptied by hand like the old vehicles, making them much more practical and safer for the workforce. While world leaders were just talking about the environment in Rio recently, Stroud residents can actually DO something to help the environment, using a cheaper, long lasting and more effective system. I trust that this allays concerns.

LAKE WYLIE — Roberta Spampinato had one of the more unusual ways of celebrating July. This July, itll be her friends celebrating the life of a woman who gave much of her life to Lake Wylie causes.
Spampinato, 70, died July 5 while living in Moncks Corner. She moved there in February after a cancer diagnosis, to live with daughter Robyn. Robyn Spampinato said last week shes still working on arranging a memorial service for her mother in Lake Wylie, likely by the end of the month.
Roberta Spampinato lived in Lake Wylie for about 35 years. She worked with the River Hills Community Association. She helped found the Lake Wylie Chamber of Commerce. She kept books for decades with Business Services of Lake Wylie. She volunteered with and kept books for the Sweet Repeat thrift shop and Kenya Orphanage Project. She served as a River Hills Lion.
She had a hand in so many things, said Sandee Wilkerson, who worked in the same building as Spampinato for decades.
Wilkerson and husband John opened the building at 1 Executive Court in the late 1970s.
She, I believe, was the first tenant, Sandee Wilkerson said of Spampinato. She was there forever, and she did all the books for River Hills Realty and then as it became First Properties of the Carolinas. She handled so much business.
Friends dont just remember her for professional and volunteer work. They remember a dry sense of humor and a constant willingness to help. A common recollection is the somewhat peculiar summer tradition Spampinato kept in recent years. It started when physical ailments ruined a holiday or two.
She would have a Christmas party in July, said friend Norma Wood. They had a couple of very bad Christmases, and she said she was just not going to do Christmas in December anymore. Shed do it in July.
Spampinato put the tree out and decorated in holiday attire. Tacky or goofy gifts were exchanged, friends say. The party meant enough to Spampinato that she asked Wood to continue it. Spampinato had the idea that people are rushed and scattered in December, so partying in the summer allowed them to better enjoy each others company.
Very generous, very kind, Robyn Spampinato said. She was the sort of person who would do anything for anybody.
Spampinato was particularly proud, her daughter said, of being named Citizen of the Year by the Lake Wylie Chamber of Commerce in 2003. Friends say Spampinato was a link to Lake Wylies past, having been involved in so many events and groups that helped shape the area.
But her memory will live on in the present, too, Wood said. Starting with that Christmas party.
She asked me to do it, Wood said, so Im going to do it.

The Daily Item
LEWISBURG — Students from Bucknell University's Filipino Club headed by Vincent-Paul Manalo; the diversity committee of the Bucknell Student Government headed by Tina Tiongson and the Sigma Chi Fraternity joined forces in late November to raise money and awareness for the typhoon that ripped across the islands of the Philippines. Advisers from International Student Services (ISS) and Multicultural Student Services (MSS) were also involved with the event called: "Passion for the Philippines: a Fundraiser" held on Nov. 21. Students invited different individuals and musical groups to perform, as well as dancers from various clubs on campus, to help publicize the fundraiser. Judy Anne Romero, one of the organizers said "During the night we also had a moment of silence and Quinn Blanco and I talked about the situation in the Philippines which put things into perspective for the people who were there. It was short notice but heaps of people came out to support us, including a few faculty members." She added, "Quinn and I are international students from the Philippines and so this event really hit us and it was imperative that we do something about it, every little thing counts."
In discussing which organization to make the beneficiary of money raised; the students had conversations with friends who were actually affected in the Philippines, they were told that the Red Cross presence was great in the places that were hit the hardest. And so they chose to donate what would eventually turn out to be almost $1,700 to the American Red Cross.
Upon accepting the donation, Natalie Kuhns, SUN Area Chapter administrator and volunteer coordinator said, "This was a wonderful surprise for us, these young people deserve a great deal of credit; they worked very quickly to raise a substantial amount of money that is definitely needed in the Philippines."

The preseason is finally over. The Redskins open up Sunday against the New York Giants. Ryan O'Halloran and News 4's Lindsay Czarniak talk about the 53-man roster, break-out players and make a picks for the game and season.
1. The preseason is finally over and the Redskins finalized their 53-man roster on Saturday. What was the biggest surprise cut and surprise make on the roster?
L: To me the biggest surprise cut was Chase Daniel. I actually thought it was lucky the Redskins would choose to keep Daniel over Colt Brennan and with Colt headed to IR. I was a little surprised that the Redskins chose to go without a No. 3 QB. I do, however think it's a good move to keep two active with added room somewhere else, as in giving Marcus Mason a shot as the fourth running back. The biggest surprise make to me is Edwin Williams. I expected the undrafted free agent center to fall victim to a numbers game but the Redskins like their talent from College Park and Edwin has to be the most fun interview right now in the locker room. He has overcome an immense amount of adversity growing up and he is now officially on the roster of the team he has always followed – pretty cool.
R: Biggest surprise cut was, well, no one really. Releasing Jeremy Bridges was a surprise since he worked most of the preseason with the second offensive line unit but he was unimpressive as the right tackle. I agree with Lindsay that Edwin Williams is the surprise make and I would throw two other names – offensive tackle D'Anthony Batiste and linebacker Robert Henson. I didn't hear a lot of buzz about Batiste during training camp but the coaches liked how he moves his feet in pass protection. And Henson struggled in the first few preseason games and I thought Cody Glenn would get the nod instead of Henson but he flashed against Jacksonville.
2. The Redskins went 1-3 but who cares about the record – how would you guys grade the preseason?
L: Preseason record schmecord. The main things I was interested in gleaning from the preseason was a) how did Jason Campbell look from the limited time we saw him. I give him a B and that's far above passing in my book. Against the Steelers, Redskins fans were pushing the panic button because of the stats (1-of-7 for 10 yards) but too much focus was put on that. Whether you believe Zorn when he said he was happy with Jason's decision-making, it doesn't matter. He took the field against the Patriots and took risks – I like the added confidence he's showing and I love the chances he's taking downfield. I was also really interested to watch the secondary reserve players try to dig out of a hole that they so blatantly exposed in game one and I thought they did. Justin Tryon learned where he needed to be and while Kevin Barnes needs to show more intensity, they saw potential.
R: I'd give the Redskins a solid B-minus, which is perfectly serviceable. The biggest thing is they survived training camp without any major injuries – only Colt Brennan was placed on IR and 51 of the 53 players went through the whole Wednesday practice. I'll add a Campbell thought to what Lindsay said – Jason is a tempo passer, he needs to get into an early rhythm, experience early success and have a good first few drives to have a good game. That's what he did against New England and Jacksonville. Zorn's play calling tailored to the strengths of his quarterback. Defensively, the good news was getting Albert Haynesworth acclimated to the scheme and seeing rookie Brian Orakpo all over the field at several positions.
3. Who are your selections for breakout player (one offense, one defense) this season?
L: My breakout player on offense is Marcus Mason – not that people would be shocked to see him break off some big runs but I think it would surprise people if he got a huge opportunity. That is what I predict to happen, though. If he can improve his special teams work the Redskins could have some decisions to make as far as which running backs to activate come game day. Defense breakout player is Chris Wilson – he won't show the flash and awe that a cornerback can elicit with the turnovers and such but he's been impressive with his transition to linebacker. He can be an underrated compliment to the headlining Brian Orakpo.
R: Breakout offensive player – receiver Malcolm Kelly. He seized the No. 2 receiver spot from Antwaan Randle El so the opportunities will be there for the second-year player to get downfield and also work the sidelines for catches. He's come a long way since his February knee surgery and it's important to note that he won the No. 2 job, he wasn't given the No. 2 job. Breakout defensive player – I'll listen to the masses and pick safety LaRon Landry. He's been OK in his first two years but I expect more interceptions and big plays this year. It's time for him to take the next step in his development.
4. Heading into the regular season opener Sunday against the New York Giants, what's the biggest concern on offense and defense?
L: On offense, it's got to be if the Redskins offensive line is capable of really giving Jason Campbell enough time. It's crucial Jason is able to establish a rhythm and start off the season strong and if the line can remain healthy, he has no excuses. On defense, I want to say nothing because I feel like the Redskins right now are a personified Mac truck but, I would say you've got to wonder if Haynesworth is going to feel wear and tear and last as much as they expect this season. That would be the question mark in my book.
R: Offense – I agree with the pass protection but I'll add the question of whether a receiver will rise up to compliment Santana Moss and Chris Cooley. The Redskins were too predictable, especially in the red zone because teams double teamed Moss and Cooley. If Kelly or Thomas or even Davis can establish themselves, the Redskins will be more dangerous. Defense – Sacks and turnovers. It's what the Redskins tried to address with Haynesworth, Hall and Orakpo, but I'll believe it when I see it.
5. You'll both be at the Meadowlands on Sunday. Two predictions – who wins the game and what is the Redskins final record?
L: It's obvious – the Redskins went and signed Andre Woodson, the Giants former practice squad quarterback so of course they'll win. He's spilling all of Coughlin's secrets, remember? Just kidding. It is funny though that he's getting text messages telling him not to share. The Redskins will win because the Giants receiving corps shows potential, but aren't a proven collective talent and the Redskins D-line will be able to stop Jacobs more effectively with more focus being paid to Albert Haynesworth. Redskins 20-13. Final Redskins record is 10-6, enough to make the playoffs.
R: This is just a bad match up for the Redskins. They might have as many good players as the Giants, but New York's pass rush will prove to be just too much. The Giants won't exactly pile up the yards either so it's going to be a good NFC East fist fight. Giants win 16-13. For the season, the Redskins really do have some good pieces and defensively, they'll be able to stop people. But I don't expect the offensive line to last physically and that will ultimately result in a 9-7 record and no playoffs.

As we're into another busy season for air travel in Canada, it's a good idea to get ready before you head to the airport, especially if you haven't flown for a while.
One organization that can help make your air travel a little less confusing is the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA), the Canadian crown corporation responsible for screening air passengers and their baggage in Canada.
Their Web site includes a What Can I Bring? section with information on which items are permitted and which aren't. It also tells you how to speed up security screening of both people and baggage, including international regulations, and tips for different types of passengers, like seniors, small children and those with special needs. You can even check the current security wait times by airport in Canada.
It's a good idea to check the Web sites for the airlines you'll be using too.
Knowing what to expect at the airport and preparing before you get there could save you time and make your trip a lot less stressful.

PITTSBURGH — Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins isn't ruling out playing in the 2011 NHL All-Star Game next week in Raleigh.
But Crosby, the leading vote-getter for the game and arguably the NHL's best player, isn't ruling it in, either.
"I haven't started working out," Crosby said today in a brief interview with The N&O. "I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just going day by day right now. I'd like to be there."
Crosby has missed the past seven games because of post-concussion symptoms. He was in the Pens locker room at Consol Energy Center today when the players first left the ice after the morning skate but quickly departed when the media was admitted.
Crosby said it was a thrill to top the online voting for the All-Star game to be played Sunday at the RBC Center. Of the 14.3 million votes cast, he received 635,509 as fan voting decided the first six stars.
"An honor, for sure," Crosby said. "Obviously it's not fun being injured, but I appreciate all the support, for sure, and the support we got for the team."
Pens center Evgeni Malkin, another of the first six All-Stars chosen in the voting, missed Thursday's game against the New Jersey Devils with a sore left knee and sinus infection. He will not play tonight and his status for the All-Star game also is uncertain.
The Pens are 3-3-1 without Crosby in the lineup. They lost 2-0 to the Devils on Thursday, the first time Pittsburgh was missing both Crosby and Malkin in a game since Malkin was drafted in 2007.
The Pens have two other All-Stars. Marc-Andre Fleury received the most votes among the goaltenders, and defenseman Kris Letang finished among the first six as a write-in candidate.
The two teams for the All-Star game will be decided in a Fantasy Draft on Friday.
"I'm just hoping I won't be the last pick," Fleury said today with a smile.
That won't happen. All the goalies must be chosen by the end of the 15th round of the draft, well before the final picks.
Eric Staal of the Canes is one of the All-Star captains but Fleury said he has not lobbied Staal in any shape or fashion -- no texts, nothing.
"And I still want to stop him tonight," said Fleury, who is 20-5-2 over his last 27 starts and had an 11-game win streak.

Fight night, spars and jabs
We've got a long list of spars and jabs to get to today in Lovey Land in the world of boxing, so let's get it on. First, Thursday night was the 19th annual "Fight Night" charity event at the Washington Hilton ballroom, and it did not disappoint. The economy may be in the tank, but there is still fuel enough for a roomful of powerful men drinking, smoking cigars and being hosted by hundreds of beautiful models.
Excess is still alive and well, and raised a lot of money for Fight for Children, the nonprofit association that raises money for education and health care for low-income children in Washington. One donation came from the government of the United Arab Emirates — $500,000. The list of boxing legends who were on hand included Joe Frazier, Jake LaMotta, Gerry Cooney, Aaron Pryor, Earnie Shavers, Buster Douglas, Michael Spinks, Ernie Terrell and Ray Mancini. Brooks Robinson, Bob Feller and Dick Butkus were also in attendance. The musical act was called Blood Sweat & Tears, but, without David Clayton Thomas. Let's face it, they might as well been called Manny, Moe and Jack without the lead singer who is so closely identified with the band.
The Washington Nationals were a big presence at the event. Owner Mark Lerner, fellow owner and team president Stan Kasten were there, as well as manager Manny Acta and three of his players — Ryan Zimmerman, Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes (who did not show up earlier in the day at the ESPN Zone to unveil the Nationals new uniforms because of a last-minute scheduling conflict, according to team officials. There was also a Washington Nationals chopper cycle auctioned off, as well as a ticket package for National games, that included a trip to Houston on the team charter when the Nationals play the Astros in 2009. The ticket package was valued at $50,000. It went for $35,000. Not a good sign.
The Redskins had a presence of sorts — the Washington Redskins cheerleaders, who put on a dance show in the ring that would have made Ben Rothlisberger pass out. The only thing missing from the routine was a pole in the ring. The fight card was short — just three bouts —but two of them were good battles, very competitive. Junior welterweight Bayan Jargal — "The Mongolian Mongoose" — from Arlington stopped Doel Carrasquillo of Lancaster, Pa., in the eighth and final round, though the fight should not have been stopped. Carrasquillo went down but got right up and said he could have continued, and it sure seemed that way.
And in the other co-feature, Joshua Snyder and John Mackey fought to a six-round decision draw — another poor call. Snyder dominated the fight and should have won the decision. It was not a banner day for District boxing officials. The worst, though, came in the opening fight, Henry Mayes from Baltimore faced Willis Lockett from Takoma Park, and in the first round, Mayes nailed Lockett with a hard right hand. Lockett stumbled, and his legs were shaky, but never went down. Mayes should have had the chance to go in and finish Lockett off, but referee Billy Johnson stepped in and called a standing eight count. There is no such thing as a standing eight count under District boxing rules, though. Johnson's interference gave Lockett a chance to recover, and he came back in the second round to batter Mayes, and Johnson stopped the fight at 1:34 of the second round, an apparent victory for Lockett. But Mayes' cornere protested because of the standing eight count that should have never happened, and later District boxing officials ruled the right a no contest.
This is one of the reasons that while live boxing shows are flourishing in the suburbs around the District, but not in the city — the haphazard way the business of boxing is conducted by the city's boxing commission.
Show Place Show
Tonight — Friday — promoter Bobby Macgruder is putting on a live boxing show at The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md. The main event will be an eight-round heavyweight bout between Horace Grant (12-2, seven knockouts) of Bowie and Robert Davis (32-8, 20 knockouts). Also on the show is undefeated rising heavyweight Seth Mitchell (7-0-1, four knockouts) facing off against Dan Whetzel (9-14-2, five knockouts) of Toledo, Ohio. Also, Boone Pultz (35-2, 15 knockouts) of Odenton will square off against Maurice Winslow (1-7-1, one knockout) in a four-round bout, plus several other matches.
Bernard Hopkins on Jones-Calzaghe
Bernard Hopkins, fresh off his stunning victory over Kelly Pavlik, will be watching Saturday night's pay-per-view fight between Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones, Jr., at Madison Square Garden. He has a rooting interest for his pocketbook. A Jones victory could mean the long-awaited rematch between Hopkins and Jones, who defeated Hopkins in a unanimous decision to win the middleweight championship in a show at RFK Stadium in 1993.
"I think if Roy Jones does what I think he will do, Joe will have to fight differently this time," Hopkins said in a conference call with reporters earlier this weeki. "Roy has been saying he will fight differently. He is fast and can hurt you….I think Roy Jones wins by unanimous decision."
The only way Jones will win, though, is if he is willing to take some chances and take some punishment to dish it out. He doesn't like getting hit, and hasn't shown the heart to come back in the ring when he is taking a beating, like he did against Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson. As far as Hopkins-Jones II, if it ever does happen, unfortunately, it will be about 10 years too late from when it should have happened.
I will be on The Sports Reporters on ESPN 980 AM on Friday, Nov. 7, from 5 to 7 p.m., and Monday, Nov. 10, from 5 to 7 p.m.

Mazel tov, Steve Martin! After Page Six reported (via sources) that the 67-year-old actor, author and musician recently became a first-time dad with wife Anne Stringfield, his rep confirms the happy news to Us Weekly. "We can confirm that Steve Martin and his wife are new parents and recently welcomed a child," the rep tells Us in a statement.
PHOTOS: 2012's babies of the year
According to the Post, the "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" star and Stringfield, 41, were recently spotted near their Los Angeles home with their newborn baby -- whose gender and name have yet to be revealed. Says an insider to Page Six: "They've had a baby, and how they kept it a secret nobody knows. ... Steve's very private."
Actor, comedian, novelist and musician Martin divorced first wife, actress Victoria Tennant, in 1994 after eight years of marriage. He quietly wed Stringer -- a writer and former New Yorker editor -- in July 2007 at his Los Angeles home in a surprise ceremony officiated by former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey. "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels was best man, and other celeb guests included Tom Hanks, Carl Reiner and Eugene Levy.
PHOTOS: Stars who've struggled to conceive
Of the new bundle of joy, Martin and Stringfield "are thrilled," the source tells Page Six. "They worked hard to have the baby." Martin's rep could not be reached for comment.

Prevent Kidney Disease
Learn more to reduce your risk of kidney disease and take the pledge to #preventkidneydisease.
New York, NY
January 20, 1999
It's never too early to develop healthy eating habits. Reducing salt intake is a key element in a healthful diet, yet the typical American diet tends to be too high in salt. A recent study reported that salt intake during infancy and adolescence may influence whether high blood pressure develops later in life.
The study, conducted in the Netherlands, found that children who had been on low-salt diets during the first six months of their lives had lower blood pressures than youngsters who had been on normal sodium diets. When these youngsters were checked again after 15 years, the low-salt group still had lower blood pressures. While these findings suggest that a sensible salt intake in children may prevent high blood pressure in adulthood, extreme salt restriction should be avoided since this can be harmful to a child's health.
In the U.S., the salt content of infant formulas and baby foods has been reduced. Parents can foster a healthier diet in their young children and adolescents by encouraging the following steps:
Preventing high blood pressure is a key to good health. High blood pressure is associated with serious complications including kidney disease, heart attacks and strokes.

According to police, the number of burglaries is down in Kings Park, but larcenies such as car break-ins are on the rise.
"Burglaries are down in Kings Park," said Inspector James Rhodes of the Suffolk County Police Fourth Precinct, "but they are up in the precinct as a whole," he said.
Rhodes compared numbers from the first six months of this year to the same time period for the past two years. In 2010, from January 1 through May 31, 11 burglaries were reported. That number dropped to eight for the same time period in 2011 and are at six for 2012 from January through May.
Out of those burglaries in 2010, nine of those were residential. In 2011, five out of 8 were residential and 2012 five of the six were residential.
"We are staying on top of things as far as Kings Park is concerned," said Rhodes. "We locked up multiple people at the end of 2011, that is one of the reasons why it is down."
Rhodes said that larceny is a crime of opportunity and the best thing residents can do is reduce the opportunity. To reduce the risk, Rhodes gave some simple, but perhaps not often used advice.
"Lock your doors," he said. "If it is open they get your change, your GPS, so keep car doors locked."

Dallas Cowboys
Bruce Carter - #54 - LB
|6' 2"/ 240 lbs.
|Havelock, NC
|North Carolina
|Years played
|2011, 2nd round, 8th pick by Cowboys
Kiffin bringing the 4-3 'under' to Dallas
There will be some personnel and assignment changes on defense with the switch from Rob Ryan to Monte Kiffin as coordinator.
Cowboys' defensive interior should get stronger
The Cowboys can take solace that the interior of their defense, led by ILBs Sean Lee and Bruce Carter, will remain strong when they return healthy.
Cowboys' defensive injuries starting to pile up
Down a few starters and key performers, the Cowboys are suddenly paper thin on defense in several spots.
Cowboys' Carter asked to step up inside
ILB Bruce Carter has come a long way in the past year and a half, and the Cowboys need him most right now.
Cowboys ILB Lee has season-ending toe injury
Cowboys ILB Sean Lee will undergo season-ending surgery on his right big toe.
Cowboys' Carter could have an edge inside
There's a good battle at the Cowboys' ILB spot between Dan Connor and Bruce Carter, but Carter has what it takes to win the job.
Was Cowboys' defense exposed against Eagles?
It's not clear which was more revealing: the Cowboys' defense against the Eagles or the one that played well the first six games of the season.
Cowboys waive RB Choice
The Cowboys waived RB Tashard Choice on Saturday to make room on the 53-man roster for rookie OLB Bruce Carter, who has been on the non-football injury list.
Carter is out of for the season with a dislocated left elbow, making him the fourth Dallas defensive starter to go on injured reserve. The Cowboys said Monday they filled Carter's roster spot by signing Brady Poppinga, a seven-year veteran who last played for St. Louis in 2011.||||||| Carter injured the elbow in Thursday's 38-31 loss to Washington. The Cowboys have lost both inside linebackers with defensive leader Sean Lee suffering a season-ending toe injury last month. The other defensive starters out for the year are safety Barry Church and defensive end Kenyon Coleman.

There are a ton of good deals available on premium speakers from Energy, JBL, B&W, Paradigm and others. I have 9 polk speakers between two systems, and have been happy with them. The RTIa line however has been around a very long time and MSRP seems a bit uncompetitive.

Staub Mussel Pot
I just scored a Staub Mussel Pot at the local flea market. I like mussels and imagine I can use it for clams, which we like better. But ho knows what else I can cook in it? Any reason I can't use it like a traditional Staub cocotte and use it, say, for foul in the oven?
Hi, jallenrouman:
Good score. This particular vessel is good for steaming or anything you might want to cook that would benefit from pouring off liquid--the shape and the mesh strainer piece make that a snap. That being said, the base is quite small, so poaching, etc. would not be a great application.
Wahine "won" one of these as a service award, and we use it occasionally. But it is so specialized we keep it at the beach house, where steamer clams are 50 feet away.

Is Louis Tomlinson really serious about a One Direction pet? In a recent interview, Louis spilled the beans about the 1D guys wanting to take a dog on the road.
"We are going to get a dog on tour," said Louis. in response to a recent question about missing their girlfriends while touring. Tomlinson continued, "It has no relevance to the question, but we are trying to persuade our management, woof, woof."
So, should Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and the rest of the One Direction guys be allowed to take a dog on the road during their tour? It isn't as if the guys aren't already a chick magnet, but could you imagine them having a pet beagle (or some other pooch) on the road?
If their management were to allow the guys to have a dog on the road, what kind of puppy would it be. Better yet, what would they name the puppy? Perhaps they could get an English Bulldog and name it Simon. That somehow seems pretty fitting, doesn't it? No word from any of Louis Tomlinson's One Direction band mates about a puppy preference.

There has been some interesting news coming from the scientific community after Japan's earthquake.
The earthquake that rocked the nation of Japan has actually moved the USA closer to Japan and cause the Earth's axis to shift causing a slightly shorter day.
The crack in the earth's crust off the coast of Japan caused a crack that is more than 15 miles beneath the sea surface. it stretches 180 miles long and 90 miles wide.
The crack in the sea floor cause the nation of Japan actually 13 feet closer to the UNited States.
The world's fifth-largest, 8.9 magnitude quake was caused when the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, which shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet
The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches,shortened the Earths day by 1.6 miliseconds, and sank Japan downward by about two feet.
As Japan's eastern coastline sunk, the tsunami's waves rolled in.
I wondered how the Earth could actually have a shorter day, but apparently the quake shifted the mass of the planet toward the center of the Earth causing it to spin faster.
In 1995 Sensors were placed around Japan to record this data today hopefully helping save lives for the future.
So Maybe we can better understand natural disasters

The Borghese Gallery, or Galleria Borghese, is one of the top museums in Rome. The museum is housed in the gorgeous Villa Borghese mansion in the Borghese Gardens on the Pincio Hill and contains masterful marble sculptures by Bernini among other treasures.
Arts patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese, who was the nephew of Pope Paul V, commissioned the building of the Villa Borghese and its lush surrounding gardens from 1613-1616. Borghese used the villa as a home for entertaining as well as a place to display his growing art collection. The Cardinal collected antiquities and was among the first patrons of Baroque sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini.
The Bernini sculptures that are in the Museo Borghese collection are some of his best works. They include "Apollo and Daphne," a stunning piece that conveys movement in marble, and "The Rape of Proserpina," an equally stunning composition in which Bernini managed to make marble appear as supple as skin. Bernini also sculpted a "David," the face of which was modeled on his own.
Other works of art in the Museo Borghese include a reclining statue of Paolina Borghese by Antonio Canova; the "Sleeping Hermaphrodite," a Roman bronze from 150 BC, and Roman mosaics from the 4th century. On the upper floor, which is often referred to by the name Galleria Borghese (the Borghese Gallery), visitors will find paintings by Raphael, Titian, Caravaggio, Rubens, and other notable names from the Renaissance. The painting gallery also contains a couple of self-portraits by Bernini.
Location: Villa Borghese, Piazzale Scipione Borghese, 5
Hours: Tuesdays-Saturdays, 9 am until 5 pm, Sundays 9 am until 1 pm; closed January 1, Easter, May 1, August 15, December 25
Information: Tickets and Information; Tel. (0039) 06-8424-1607

In a story Monday on Patch, former Gov. Mark Sanford .
Sanford had harsh words for the legislature, with which he often clashed while in office.
But Sanford also suggested that the the relationship between the state legislature and the courts be reviewed. The state Supreme Court, for example, is appointed by members of the legislature at the recommendation of a commission. The legislature also gets its funding by approval of the legislature.
Sanford said this arrangement is set-up to benefit incumbents and that the , while following precedent, had the added benefit of helping the very people who pay the court's salaries.
When the story ran on Monday, State Rep. Leon Stavrinakis (D - 119) took issue with Sanford's implications on Twitter. He was subsequently engaged in discussion by Ashley Landess of the South Carolina Policy Council and Talbert Black, Jr., of the Palmetto Liberty Political Action Commitee.
Landess and Black think that judges should be appointed by the governor, while Stavrinakis isn't convinced that would solve any questions about conflicts of interest.
Their conversation, condensed by Twitter, is above.

The sintir (Arabic: سنتير), also known as the Guembri (Arabic: الكمبري), Gimbri or Hejhouj, is a three stringed skin-covered bass plucked lute used by the Gnawa people. It is approximately the size of a guitar, with a body carved from a log and covered on the playing side with camel skin. The camel skin has the same acoustic function as the membrane on a banjo. The neck is a simple stick with one short and two long goat strings that produce a percussive sound similar to a pizzicato cello or double bass.
The goat gut strings are plucked downward with the knuckle side of the index finger and the inside of the thumb. The hollowed canoe shaped wooden body resonates a percussive tone created by knuckles slapping the camel neck top of the body while the thumb and index finger are plucking the strings.The lowest string on the sintir is a drone note and the second string, the highest in pitch, is tuned an octave higher and is never fretted. The third string is tuned a fourth above the drone. The buzzing sound often heard emanating from the sintir is caused by metal rings dangling off of a galvanized metal feather mounted on the end of the sintir's neck. The feather and rings vibrate in rhythm with the sintir.
The body of the instrument is hollowed out from a single piece of wood, and covered with camel skin. The long neck passes through the top of the body and runs under the face, coming out through the skin near the base of the instrument, to serve as a tailpiece or string-carrier. The sliding leather tuning rings and the rattle-like metal sound modifier are commonly found in such West African instruments as the kora and the xalam (lute). The percussive playing style is reminiscent not only of West African technique but also of certain styles of American banjo picking.
