Opportunity awaits you, Craig Stevens
Recently, I penned a piece that pondered the following question: What's in store for Jared Cook in 2010? After failing to live up to the hype surrounding the athletic phenom, the article took a look at the prospects of Cook turning things around in his 2nd NFL season.
Of course, Cook isn't the only up-and-coming TE on the proverbial hot seat this year.
Today, we'll continue the theme of young tight ends needing to step up by examining the prospects of 3rd year TE Craig Stevens in 2010.
With veteran stalwart Alge Crumpler vacating the premises this offseason, the opportunity for increased playing time is firmly in place for Stevens. After mostly contributing on special teams' during his first two NFL campaigns, Year Three will serve as Craig's first chance to be a regular on the offensive unit.
Regarded by renowned draft guru Mike Mayock as the best blocking TE in the 2008 NFL Draft, Stevens is expected to turn his potential into production this year. He'll replace Algernon as the team's primary blocking TE and judging by early reviews, the Titans appear to be confident that Stevens can get the job done.
Although Jared Cook and Bo Scaife are penciled in as the Titans' receiving threats at the TE position, Stevens shouldn't be overlooked as a pass catcher. In four years at Cal, Stevens accounted for 51 catches, 669 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Judging by this old Youtube clip from his days back in Berkeley, it's also apparent that Craig has some potential in the yards-after-catch (YAC) department.
Although Alge Crumpler's formidable blocking skills will be missed, I'm somewhat optimistic that Craig is more than capable of serving as a viable replacement in 2010 and beyond. Stevens appears to have a solid work ethic and certainly has the talent: now it's just a matter of him stepping up to the plate and living up to the glowing reviews of Mayock and others regarding his excellent blocking skills.
I'll certainly be watching to see if Stevens is able to get the job done in 2010.
Any thoughts on Craig Stevens and his tall task of replacing Crumpler? Feel free to contribute your thoughts in the comments section below.

Steve Byrne Tickets and Event Dates
Show Details
In just a few short years, Steve Byrne has risen through the ranks of the comedy world to become one of the industry's most innovative and sought-after performers. With his high-energy, physical style of comedy, Byrne has evolved throughout the years into an extremely versatile entertainer that delivers on a day-to-day basis. Hailing from Pittsburgh, PA, Steve Byrne was born to a Korean mother and an Irish father, which continues to provide him with an inordinate wealth of comedic material. Byrne's most recent hour special, The Byrne Identity, premiered last year on Comedy Central to rave reviews.
After winning TBS' cutthroat competition, the Myspace Standup or Sitdown Comedy Challenge, Byrne was hurtled into a brilliant television and film career. As his popularity began to expand, Byrne was featured in his very own half-hour Comedy Central Presents which was soon voted as one of the best specials of all time in the Comedy Central Standup Showdown. His hilarious standup has been seen on NBC's The Tonight Show, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS's The Late Late Show and BET's Comic View. In 2008, Byrne's first one-hour special, Steve Byrne's Happy Hour, premiered on Comedy Central and further cemented his star status. Packing an impressively wide range of appeal, Byrne's comedy soon landed him on the The History of the Joke on the History Channel and the Discovery Channel's The Science of Laughter. He has since appeared on some of TV's hottest shows including ABC's The Middle, The Chapelle Show, G4's The International Sexy Ladies Show, The Howard Stern Show, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, The Very Funny Show and was a series regular on NBC's The Real Wedding Crashers.
A true international comedian, Byrne has performed to sold-out crowds around the world. He has been a featured comic at the Just for Laughs Festival (in Montreal, Toronto and Chicago), HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival in Las Vegas and the CanWest Comedy Fest in Vancouver. He has been part of several national comedy tours including The Jameson Comedy Tour, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour, The Kims of Comedy, The Camel Cigarettes Sin City Tour, and his own national Myspace Comedy tour. Byrne even had the honor of opening for esteemed musical acts such as Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Modest Mouse, Puddle of Mudd, Spoon, Rev. Horton Heat and many more. As a big supporter of the US troops, Steve also headlined several USO tours in Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan and Guam.
Byrne has appeared in the hit comedies The Dilemma, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases and The Goods: The Don Ready Story. His 2006 documentary, 13 or Bust, chronicles the attempt to perform 13 comedy shows in Manhattan in one night.

The minute you see a 44 (0)70 number you can chuck the application in the trash and get on with business, it's such a dead giveaway that you have a scammer wasting your time.
UK limited companies have company numbers and charities have charity numbers and can all be checked up online, and we know how to delve deeper into the correct details of such entities so, as far as anyone impersonating UK organisations goes, they're unlikely to get by our scrutiny, and we'll check them up for free.
It's possible to do that with most Western companies, and we take pleasure in bursting their nasty schemes to pieces. I'm only too aware that one scammer can take down a small company and the scammer doesn't give a hoot.

Intel has demonstrated a new 7-foot-6-inch multi-user, multi-touch Intel Intelligent Digital Signage concept at the National Retail Federation Convention (NRF) in New York. Intel said the prototype device could change the way people interact with digital signage technology in environments such as stores, airports, banks and hotels.
Multiple consumers can use the side-by-side window display simultaneously to explore augmented reality-enabled maps of each floor of the store, on which retailers can superimpose images such as coupons and sales promotions next to product visualizations on the glass, improving the customer's shopping experience.
Intel's digital signage concept also brings a new opportunity for advertisers through the use of anonymous video analytics. As a viewer looks at the system screen, the built-in camera technology analyzes data such as gender and age, audience composition, time-of-day and other criteria, which enable the system to display tailored content and graphics based on estimated demographics. The system anonymously sends audience information to advertisers who can use that information to understand the type of content and messages that are most popular with viewers. This, in turn, helps advertisers target their advertising to maximize the impact on the audience.

A 1968 graduate of Nyack college, Dr Schroeder spoke for himself and his wife in his letter to the community with these words: "Our years at Nyack have been incredibly formative for us. Our understanding and appreciation of worship, diversity, and global mission have grown so much, and our love for so many hundreds of students, faculty and staff members has been so enriching. We will leave Nyack as very satisfied, happy, grateful people."
Board of Trustees Chairman for the Nyack College Corporation, Ronald Eastman, expressed his expectations for a smooth transition. Mr. Eastman shared with the Nyack College and ATS community, "We, the Board of Trustees, gratefully acknowledge the work of David and Betzi in leading Nyack College over the last 12 years and ATS for the past five years. The presidency of Dr. Schroeder will be recalled by historians as one of the strongest in the history of the institution. His sense of vision for the institution and courage in moving forward with that vision truly places him among the top leaders in the almost 125-year history of the school."
BOT Chairman Eastman will soon announce members of the Search Committee to be charged with finding a new president. During the search, Executive Vice President/Treasurer David Jennings will assume presidential responsibilities, working closely with Nyack's Provost, Dr. David Turk.

A new way for EPA kids to get their kicks
Original post made on Sep 6, 2007
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, September 20, 2006, 12:00 AM
Comments (8)
on Sep 6, 2007 at 9:01 am
Is there specific information available on how to make a small donation to Ravenswood Youth Athletic Association? DR
on Sep 6, 2007 at 9:13 am
Most people work. Most parents who volunteer for the local AYSO in Palo Alto work full time and long hours. Parents who want to provide a soccer outlet for their kids volunteer after they finish their work day. The fact that there are not enough parents in EPA willing to volunteer some of their free time is the problem. They need to address that issue as a community. Throwing money at the problem is not the answer.
on Sep 6, 2007 at 10:50 am
In other AYSO leagues, mothers and other women can coach and referee. East Palo Alto might double its volunteer pool if it didn't just rely on fathers and uncles.
Does anyone else think that $200/player for a soccer season is awfully high?
I agree with Resident: families need to step up and support their kids, in academics as well as in sports. The rest of us work too, and somehow we manage to stay involved in our kids' lives.
on Sep 6, 2007 at 11:15 am
Whereas I agree that mothers and other women could and should participate in their kids sports, I think it is worth making this comment.
Boys in particular need men in their lives as role models. This is particularly true in an area like EPA where many boys grow up with their fathers being more remote than perhaps here in PA. These boys need to see men doing ordinary things to help them, being teachers, being coaches, being uncles (biologically or not) and most importantly being mentors. These boys are growing up surrounded by caring women, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, but many of them are in homes where the father is not present or known, or perhaps even not there due to crime related issues.
Any group of men that is willing to go to EPA and work with boys are doing a service to the whole of the community. The women will have some of the pressure taken off them, the boys will have role models and the rest of us will be safer knowing that the male youth is getting a program where they can exert their maleness in a safe environment which makes the community safer.
on Sep 6, 2007 at 1:27 pm
Well, most of us have normal jobs with normal schedules. The parents in east palo alto area are coming in after you leave your work to clean your office, or serve or cook a meal at a restaurant. They even have to work the weekend. Their work schedules may not be as accommodating as most of ours. (something to think about)
on Sep 6, 2007 at 2:03 pm
"The rest of us work too, and somehow we manage to stay involved in our kids' lives."
The "rest of us" rely on each other for support. We rely on the families in our community who have an extra parent available. Our kids are in AYSO teams or Scout troops or ___insert your favorite parent-led activity here____ that have a larger pool of parents who don't work full time or whose employers allow them a bit of work schedule freedom.
We might own two or more cars to drive our kids in different directions, while they might own two or one or none. We might have a nanny watch our other kids (or drive our kids to soccer) while some of them ARE the nannies who are driving our kids around. We might regularly swing by a restaurant on the way home from practice because we're too busy to cook.
The list of inequalities goes on. Although I don't go for the argument, "well, we can do it, why can't they", I fully agree that parent involvement plays a critical role in a child's success. If we can solve this problem, I believe the achievement gap will be significantly reduced.

I think it's odd that a one year old article is being posted as though it were news. I thought I clearly remembered reading this last year, and indeed, the date is September 20, 2006 - not 2007.
But more power to them - they are in their second year of youth soccer.

I live in East Menlo Park and I have a normal work schedule and a normal job and it is not claening the office or being the nanny. My kids have been in the Tinsley program and going to school in Palo Alto. I want the best for my kids. It is not that I do not want to be involved. I don't have the resources to be a volunteer and still be a parent to my other children. I work the day shift and my husband swing. It is all on me when I get off so it makes it difficult to be in 2 or 3 places at the same time.

pretty much over it
Good Message To Those Whom Are Blind
Well, I dont post in the political forum to much for sake of they are my views and I dont need to defend them to anyone. Well here is a good video I was sent in an email. Goes a little in depth from a well informed colored man if you will. Its about 9 minutes long, and probably one of the best video's I have seen so far this election. I think it comes a little too late however being as the election is today!
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. — Norman Thomas Last edited by slvr98svt; November 4th, 2008 at 08:32 AM. |

That's what the brochure said.
There was no plan B since it doesn't rain in this part of Tuscany. At least it hadn't since June. Until today. It rained, and rained, and rained, then rained some more. The vineyards were a muddy mess, so there was no grape collecting. There was no grape stomping. There was, however, wine, and lots of it. The first bottled was uncorked at 11am, and before we knew it, none of us were bummed about the rain any more :)
So we ate a fabulous lunch, drank way too much, did a little shopping, and headed back to Montecatini in the afternoon.
A few of us broke off from the group and decided to explore the spa town of Montecatini. I heard it wasn't a very pretty city, but we thought it was great.
We went back to the funiculare and spent the entire day at Montecatini Alto & explored the Old Town. It rained off and on, but we made the most of it. We strolled the cobblestone streets, found this walled stadium of sorts, chatted (as best we could) with some locals ... this sweet little old lady tried so hard to tell me something for the longest time but I never did have any idea what she was talking about. Finally she smiled, waved, and walked up the hill to her house, hand in hand with her husband. That's a memory I'll have forever :)
We didn't want to leave! So we stayed for a nice little dinner. Apparently my ten phrases of Italian were more than anyone else new, and our adorable waiter didn't speak English, so somehow I became the translator. I embraced that in true Cliff Clavin style and had a great time being the go to gal for a little while :)
I don't know what time we ended up getting home, but I do recall having had a bit to much wine yet again. Tomorrow the group goes to Florence, but I'm thinking I'm going to skip that and work off what's left of my jet lag (and certain hangover).

If you're headed to the lake anytime soon...beware.
Where you take your boat and how you drive it could mean the difference between life and death.
A new campaign encourages drivers to watch their wake.
"It's very dangerous because the fact they don't know the damage that their wake can cause," says Lake Martin resident, Larry Tuggle.
The Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) took demonstrated what happens when a boat passes through a quaint cove at warp speed.
The wake sends water slamming into the dock, nearby boats, and even the shoreline.
"We probably get more calls, more complaints about it than anything else," says John Thompson, President of LMRA.
Strong wakes are not only damaging to private property but they're a public safety issue, too.
"I was on a dock like this one time at my house and had the grand kids out here swimming and everything and here comes a boat," says Tuggle.
Next thing Tuggle knew...
"They fell between the floating dock and the fixed dock. Luckily they didn't grab that chain because it could have cut a couple fingers off."
That's why these men teamed up with Alabama Marine Police posting "Watch your wake, Share the Lake" signs on private docks and at marinas.
And while there is no law requiring boats keep a certain distance from the shore, if a driver's boat wake causes harm to someone?
"We would cite the boat operator for reckless or careless operation in that situation," says Alabama Marine Police Sergeant Mark Fuller.
The campaign is sponsored by the State Department of Conservation and will be introduced at every lake statewide just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

I must say if there is one strength of the documentary, it is that the political message of the film can transcend the actual overall quality of the film. I am not sure the same can be said for features, though my favorite of 2003 was the highly political Irish film "The Magdalene Sisters," which was based on a documentary. It should be pointed out that I am half-Turkish and I live in a red state. I have definitely felt the stigma of post-September 11th racism, even though I was born here and have grown up in Virginia my whole life. I, therefore, feel that the subjects' views are accurate. With films like this, and the recent made for TV film "The Exonerated" about people exonerated from death row, the opposition will use everything in its power to discredit the testimony of those who state that were abused by the law. But, there was one story in this film which really got to me. It was the one with the Pakistani man who was accused of being involved in the Sept. 11th terrorist plot because he simply took his wife's relatives to the WTC a month before Sept. 11th. I think the filmmakers could have used more sources, and not just pointed the finger at John Ashcroft. As much as I disdain him, the problem is a lot deeper than just him. I also think the footage is badly filmed, and it would have been beneficial if subtitles were used for people who could not be understood very well. I sense the film was made in haste, so it could be shown in some circles before the election. But, the resounding power of what was said, and the fact that mainstream media has, for the most part, shied away from this subject make this a relevant documentary. I only wish it were less rough around the edges. Nevertheless, I give it 3 stars out of 4.

$100 Million Supercomputer Breaks Petaflop Barrier, Supposed To Keep U.S. Nuclear Weapon Stockpiles Safe And Reliable, Eek!
The $100 Million Roadrunner supercomputer was designed and built by IBM for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration and is housed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It was named Roadrunner before that's New Mexico's state bird and because they're fast. Also, Wile E. Coyote is a dipshit.
The Roadrunner is a hybrid machine, the world's first, that uses both traditional computer chips and the Cell Broadband Engine which was designed for the PS3. It occupies 6,000 square feet, weighs 500,000 lbs and delivers world-leading efficiency - 376 million calculations per watt. Roadrunner will be used primarily to ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile (we're all gonna die!). It will also do research into astronomy, energy, human genome science and climate change.
It was the first to perform at a petaflop (one thousand trillion calculations per second), and would make a great secondary computer if I had room for it. Some interesting info from the press release:
In total, Roadrunner connects 6,948 dual-core AMD Opteron® chips (on IBM Model LS21 blade servers) as well as 12,960 Cell engines (on IBM Model QS22 blade servers). The Roadrunner system has 80 terabytes of memory, and is housed in 288 refrigerator-sized, IBM BladeCenter® racks occupying 6,000 square feet. Its 10,000 connections - both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet -- require 57 miles of fiber optic cable. Roadrunner weighs 500,000 lbs. Companies that contributed components and technology include; Emcore, Flextronics, Mellanox and Voltaire.
Well that's sweet and all, but the real question is this: Can it handle me watching four or five pornos, playing Crysis, and downloading some movies illegally all at the same time? Hah -- really? Well how about all those things AND writing a nasty email to an ex-girlfirend? Got you there you stupid Roadrunner! WILE E. COYOTE FOR THE -- goddammit.

Stussy's Still Around?: Stussy/Marvel Clothing
Stussy, a company best known for producing the jeans I wore in high school (JNCO too!) apparently didn't go under after I went off to college and started wearing khakis. Khakis, ha -- I've never even owned a pair! Capris, absolutely. Anyway, the company has teamed up with Marvel (read: paid licensing out the ass) for a new line which may or may not be sold exclusively at Target (my guess is yes but I'm also in shock the company still exists).
On April 27 [SO I'M A LITTLE SLOW], Stussy will be releasing Series One of the collaboration with the legendary Marvel Comics. Series One includes nine designs featuring some of Marvel's most iconic superheroes mixed with Stussy's iconic graphic language. Series Two will release on May 6 featuring nine guest artists interpreting their favorite characters from the Marvel Universe. Each purchase will include a limited edition pack of Stussy x Marvel trading cards, while supplies last.
So, how much would you pay for a Stussy/Marvel t-shirt? If you answered "not a dime over $20", sorry, because they're $36. FOR A T-SHIRT. Which, I'm proud to say, I've never paid for a shirt. OR SEX. Although I did give a handy to an usher once to sneak me into a movie. Huh? Oh, the second Pirates of the Caribbean.
Hit the jump for the rest, along with a promotional video and link to the official site.

Shanghai, 19 Oct 10
The Government of Baja California and its partners this month showcased their first sustainable city on the United Nations Pavilion at the Shanghai 2010 World Expo.
Valle San Pedro will be Mexico's first sustainable city designed to encourage economic activity and innovation and will be the largest such site in the Americas. It is planned to house one million residents in the next twenty years and the first official tenants will move into their new homes this December.
Speaking at the event, the Mexican Vice-Minister for Housing, Sara Topelson said the hardest part of the project had been to finalise the cooperation of the eighteen different agencies involved, including no less than four ministries.
Ms Topelson also emphasised that they held a sense of community in high importance and planned to work with the new residents as the city grew.
The relationship between developers and residents "is basic for a successful neighbourhood and a successful city", she said. "Networks sustain any development that wants to have a long life".
Cuauctemoc Perez, President and CEO of Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos, the government's primary construction partner, said that they were also learning from China's experience of migration, in creating a stable city that attracted investment. He hopes that the city will provide opportunities that will dissuade more Mexicans from undertaking the dangerous journey to the United States in search of jobs.

Scientists Want to Develop Robotic Cheetah To Chase You Down, Dine On Your Carcass
Because life is progressively becoming a series of nightmares, scientists want to develop a robot that mimics the movement of a cheetah so they can chase us down and maul us to death. Why did I even get out of bed this morning? Oh, right. Well why did I even wake up this morning?
Professor Sangbae Kim designer of the Stickybot and a Robotic designer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Is trying to understand how he can replicate natural animal mechanisms by creating a robot inspired by the cheetah.
The idea is to build a prototype robot from a construction of lightweight carbon-fiber-foam that will then be able to match the cheetah's speed of 70 miles per hour.Over the next 18 months, Kim and four other MIT graduate students are going to start constructing the prototypes. Starting with a computer model of the robotic cheetah to establish the optimal limb length, weight, gait and torque of the hip and knee joints.
It's an ambitious project. Current wheeled robots are efficient, but can be slow in rough terrains. For instance, iRobot's PackBot, which is used by the U.S. military, can only travel at speeds of up to 5.8 miles per hour.
I'm sure this seemed like a good idea to somebody at some point, but it's not. Like I don't have enough to worry about without a 70 MPH cheetah-bot running around. Also, like four children. And you wonder why daddy drinks in bed all day!

Employers don't have to put up with employees who pose a safety hazard to others—or to themselves.
While suicidal behavior at work may indicate that an employee is suffering from a serious health condition (covered under the FMLA) or a mental disability (covered under the ADA), it isn't an excuse for violating established safety rules.
Recent case: A parts technician at a rental store became agitated one day when discussing his girlfriend. He told a co-worker he was going to "kill the bitch." He had to be restrained by the co-worker until he calmed down.
Later that day, the technician wrapped duct tape around his neck. His co-workers pulled it off. Then, after going into a back room, he took a strap, tied it to the ceiling, wrapped it around his neck and hanged himself. He passed out, but was saved by co-workers, who cut him down and revived him. They called 911 and he was hospitalized.
The company put him on paid leave and then terminated him when he said he was ready to come back to work. He sued, alleging retaliation and interference with FMLA leave.
The court tossed out the case. It sided with the company, which said it would have fired the employee whether or not he took medical leave because his violent behavior broke company safety and behavior rules and created potential liability. (Rainey v. Aaron Rents, No. 8:08-CV-2103, MD FL, 2009)

Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives
About the Program
The application period for the 2014 cycle is now open. Applications are due by 5:00 pm Eastern time on March 21, 2014. For more information, including application guidelines and the link to the online application system, please visit the For Applicants page.
An online Q&A session for applicants will be held on Wednesday, March 12, at 2PM Eastern time.
Libraries, archives, and cultural institutions hold millions of items that have never been adequately described. This represents a staggering volume of items of potentially substantive intellectual value that are unknown and inaccessible to scholars. This program seeks to address this problem by awarding grants for supporting innovative, efficient description of large volumes of material of high value to scholars.
The Council on Library and Information Resources administers this national effort with the generous support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Since the program began in 2008, 109 grants totaling over $23.5M have been made to a variety of institutions nationwide.
The primary criterion the review panel uses to evaluate projects is their potential national impact on scholarship and teaching. The second and third criteria are: innovative and/or highly efficient approaches to description that either adopt established model practices or serve as models for others, and the adoption of workflow, outreach, and data sharing practices that maximize connections to scholarly and other user communities. The panel requires the application of standards for processing and description that maximize the potential for interoperability and long-term sustainability for project data in the online environment. Most U.S.-based not-for-profit cultural heritage institutions are eligible for the program, and, beginning in 2013, Canadian cultural heritage institutions may participate as partners in U.S.-led collaborative projects. Applicants may nominate collections of any format and from any field worthy of national attention, but the collections in question must be truly hidden, that is, they must not currently be discoverable by scholarly users working within the relevant subject domains, either through digital or analog means.
All nonconfidential information that applicants supply is made publicly available through CLIR's Hidden Collections Registry. Applicants are encouraged to use this Registry to find partners working with similar collections. Joint or collaborative applications are strongly encouraged.
Although the program does not provide funds for the creation of digital surrogates of cataloged materials, CLIR hopes that many funded projects will ultimately be enhanced with publicly accessible digitized versions of the newly cataloged collections. For a more detailed description of the philosophy and mission of the Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives program, see CLIR's original proposal to the Mellon Foundation (pdf).

Just after noon on Friday, July 19, an interrupted burglary was reported at a residence between mile posts 258 and 259 on U.S. Highway 101, according to a release issued July 20 by Detective Sgt. John Keegan of the Clallam County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office reports that a family friend told deputies that he had stopped to check on the currently unoccupied residence and observed the garage door was open about halfway. Next to the garage he saw a yellow mountain bike that was not previously at the residence. Upon entering the residence, the friend heard noises downstairs.
The friend soon discovered a male in the act of putting items into a suitcase and zipping the suitcase closed.
According to the sheriff's office release, the friend shouted at the intruder, who then pushed past the friend and ran outside to the bicycle. The friend then witnessed the suspect riding westbound on U.S. Highway 101.
Responding deputies saw the suspect in the Agnew area. Containment was set up by deputies, troopers with the Washington State Patrol. officers from the U.S. Border Patrol and a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. The bicycle was found at the north end of Lewis Road.
The containment area was adjusted based on reports by citizens who witnessed a male matching the suspect's description running through yards in the area. Eventually a citizen reported a male walking from the area of an unoccupied trailer to a vehicle that appeared to have arrived just to pick him up.
The vehicle was stopped by deputies a short time later on Highway 101. The passenger, 35-year-old Port Angeles resident William Weems, was taken into custody. According to the sheriff's office release, Weems' clothing and physical appearance matched the suspect's description. During an interview with detectives, Weems admitted to being at the property but denied being inside, the sheriff's office said.
The items reportedly in the process of being stolen consisted mostly of tools and electronics. The estimated replacement cost of the items by the victim is more than $8,000.

The Lutheran church—rebuilt after the war—is one of the few attractive buildings in Hoyerswerda, a small town north of Dresden. It lies in what is known as the "old town"—a bleak little place with a market square, a modest hotel, and a narrow street of preserved artisans' houses, decorated with stucco carvings of glass-blowers and the like. The sky is more or less permanently stained yellow by the brown-coal mines which are the town's main business. The large mining enterprise is called the Schwarze Pumpe, the Black Pump. The Black Pump workers live across the Black Elster River, which divides the old town from the new town. The new town was built after the war. It consists of rows and rows of concrete housing blocks, of the kind you see in the slums of east London, Peking, or Katowice. Hoyerswerda was one of the most prosperous towns in the former German Democratic Republic.
At the Lutheran church I attended a Sunday morning sermon, delivered by Pastor Friedhard Vogel, a pleasant, roly-poly man with a tolerant smile. He told the story of the three kings. They were heathens, he said, not of the people of Israel, foreigners. This meant that "people with different histories, of different colors, from different countries can find their way to Jesus." The sermon ended with a short prayer: "God, we pray for our town, Hoyerswerda. We pray that we can find the strength to accept foreigners in our midst and offer them our hospitality."
There are hardly any foreigners left in Hoyerswerda. Until a few years ago there were several thousand, employed at the Black Pump, from such countries as Mozambique, Algeria, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They lived in virtual isolation. Their wages were low. The Algerians were known as "camel drivers," the southeast Asians, for some odd reason, as "Fijis." There had been trouble between the Germans and the foreigners, especially between Germans and Africans, often to do with women. When foreigners showed too much interest in German women (or vice versa) knife fights broke out. But such troubles were never reported in the press. Peace, solidarity, and eternal friendship between the workers of the world were the official reality of the GDR. Every German worker was forced to pay "solidarity money," or "soli," toward this end. The money was meant for foreign aid, but usually was spent on youth festivals instead, during which friendship and peace were proclaimed, loudly, in unison, en masse.
Many of the foreign friends left before the end of the GDR, but some Fijis and camel drivers remained, and a few hundred asylum seekers from twenty-three countries arrived after the unification of Germany. Almost all the foreigners were forced to leave last year, however, after an incident which attracted the attention of the world press and made Hoyerswerda a rallying cry—a kind of Alamo—for assorted xenophobes in Germany and even beyond. The word "Hoyerswerda" was daubed on the wall of a housing project in southeast …

MFA Teen program changes Boston teenager's life
If you ever question how much good you do when you support the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, you should talk to Erica.
A bright, articulate and self-assured collegiate leader now, Erica is active in three campus organizations, volunteers as a high school mentor through a community task force, and is one of our most outgoing Ambassadors, working with visitors, volunteers and staff to maximize the MFA experience.
Just a few short years ago, though, Erica was so unmotivated that she kept to herself, doing "just enough to get by," both in school and in life. "I didn't see any point," she says. "I never thought of doing extra stuff or getting a job."
But then a teacher urged her to apply for a position on the MFA's Teen Arts Council (TAC), a program specifically created to help Boston-area youth develop leadership skills and self-empowerment.
Comprised of 12 teens chosen from the Greater Boston area, the TAC puts teens to work side-by-side with Museum staff, where they learn about and do many things few people of their age ever have the opportunity to experience, whether that means helping plan a museum-wide event or – perhaps – writing a narrative about a work of art to be displayed next to that work in the gallery, lending a personal perspective.
Importantly, too, the TAC provides a forum where teens of differing backgrounds, beliefs and experiences find the commonality between them, learning to work towards "harmony through diversity."
As Terence, a former TAC member who is now a student at Tufts University, puts it, "people don't like talking about race, violence and other hard things. Art is like a bridge between viewpoints; it lets people discuss hard things in a nonthreatening way."
"The MFA is for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities," says Stephen Richardson, Teen Programs Manager, "and that includes teens." "Our biggest goal is to show these future leaders that their voices, their opinions and their efforts matter...to the MFA, within their communities and throughout their lives."
Years ago, Erica didn't go to the MFA – even though she lived right across the street. "I thought it was for 'other people' – not people like me," she says.
Because the Museum provides educational opportunities such as the TAC, though, Erica knows differently now; she knows the MFA is for people exactly like her – and you – and us all.
From the Last Issue
Conserving Art and Energy
Conservation--from restoring old works to ensuring that new art stays vibrant--is a large and important part of the Museum. So it will come as no surprise to learn the Museum is just as serious about conserving energy as it is about art.
Says Alton Davis, Electrical Supervisor at the MFA, "We have been implementing energy-saving lighting systems with lower wattage lamps and ballasts. We've also installed a new chiller for building cooling and larger motors with variable speed drives. This helps us reduce our electric demand for our buildings."

A Biological Interpretation of Transient Anomalous Subdiffusion. I. Qualitative Model Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 4, 15 February 2007, Pages 1178-1191 Michael J. Saxton Abstract Anomalous subdiffusion has been reported for two-dimensional diffusion in the plasma membrane and three-dimensional diffusion in the nucleus and cytoplasm. If a particle diffuses in a suitable infinite hierarchy of binding sites, diffusion is well known to be anomalous at all times. But if the hierarchy is finite, diffusion is anomalous at short times and normal at long times. For a prescribed set of binding sites, Monte Carlo calculations yield the anomalous diffusion exponent and the average time over which diffusion is anomalous. If even a single binding site is present, there is a very short, almost artifactual, period of anomalous subdiffusion, but a hierarchy of binding sites extends the anomalous regime considerably. As is well known, an essential requirement for anomalous subdiffusion due to binding is that the diffusing particle cannot be in thermal equilibrium with the binding sites; an equilibrated particle diffuses normally at all times. Anomalous subdiffusion due to barriers, however, still occurs at thermal equilibrium, and anomalous subdiffusion due to a combination of binding sites and barriers is reduced but not eliminated on equilibration. This physical model is translated directly into a plausible biological model testable by single-particle tracking. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (347 kb) |
Wanted: A Positive Control for Anomalous Subdiffusion Biophysical Journal, Volume 103, Issue 12, 19 December 2012, Pages 2411-2422 Michael J. Saxton Abstract Anomalous subdiffusion in cells and model systems is an active area of research. The main questions are whether diffusion is anomalous or normal, and if it is anomalous, its mechanism. The subject is controversial, especially the hypothesis that crowding causes anomalous subdiffusion. Anomalous subdiffusion measurements would be strengthened by an experimental standard, particularly one able to cross-calibrate the different types of measurements. Criteria for a calibration standard are proposed. First, diffusion must be anomalous over the length and timescales of the different measurements. The length-scale is fundamental; the time scale can be adjusted through the viscosity of the medium. Second, the standard must be theoretically well understood, with a known anomalous subdiffusion exponent, ideally readily tunable. Third, the standard must be simple, reproducible, and independently characterizable (by, for example, electron microscopy for nanostructures). Candidate experimental standards are evaluated, including obstructed lipid bilayers; aqueous systems obstructed by nanopillars; a continuum percolation system in which a prescribed fraction of randomly chosen obstacles in a regular array is ablated; single-file diffusion in pores; transient anomalous subdiffusion due to binding of particles in arrays such as transcription factors in randomized DNA arrays; and computer-generated physical trajectories.

Sampling the Cell with Anomalous Diffusion—The Discovery of Slowness Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 1, 1 January 2008, Pages 90-94 Gernot Guigas and Matthias Weiss Abstract Diffusion-mediated searching for interaction partners is an ubiquitous process in cell biology. Transcription factors, for example, search specific DNA sequences, signaling proteins aim at interacting with specific cofactors, and peripheral membrane proteins try to dock to membrane domains. Brownian motion, however, is affected by molecular crowding that induces anomalous diffusion (so-called subdiffusion) of proteins and larger structures, thereby compromising diffusive transport and the associated sampling processes. Contrary to the naive expectation that subdiffusion obstructs cellular processes, we show here by computer simulations that subdiffusion rather increases the probability of finding a nearby target. Consequently, important events like protein complex formation and signal propagation are enhanced as compared to normal diffusion. Hence, cells indeed benefit from their crowded internal state and the associated anomalous diffusion. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (199 kb) |

Anomalous subdiffusion is hindered diffusion in which the mean-square displacement of a diffusing particle is proportional to some power of time less than one. Anomalous subdiffusion has been observed for a variety of lipids and proteins in the plasma membranes of a variety of cells. Fluorescence photobleaching recovery experiments with anomalous subdiffusion are simulated to see how to analyze the data. It is useful to fit the recovery curve with both the usual recovery equation and the anomalous one, and to judge the goodness of fit on log-log plots. The simulations show that the simplest approximate treatment of anomalous subdiffusion usually gives good results. Three models of anomalous subdiffusion are considered: obstruction, fractional Brownian motion, and the continuous-time random walk. The models differ significantly in their behavior at short times and in their noise level. For obstructed diffusion the approach to the percolation threshold is marked by a large increase in noise, a broadening of the distribution of diffusion coefficients and anomalous subdiffusion exponents, and the expected abrupt decrease in the mobile fraction. The extreme fluctuations in the recovery curves at and near the percolation threshold result from extreme fluctuations in the geometry of the percolation cluster.

By Richard Leong
NEW YORK, April 5 (Reuters) - Bond bears took a beating on Friday after a weak U.S. payroll report stunned Wall Street and sparked the biggest rally in U.S. Treasuries in more than 10 months.
Exchange-traded funds that bet on long-dated U.S. government debt prices to fall suffered their worst one-day loss since late May, while the 30-year Treasury bond booked its biggest one-day gain at the same time.
This reversal of fortune came a week after long-dated U.S. government bonds recorded their worst quarter in a year on the expectations the U.S. economy was gaining traction and the speculation that the Federal Reserve might slow or stop buying bonds to support the economic recovery before the end of year.
ETFs that bet on falling Treasuries prices on the other hand posted their biggest quarter gain in a year.
Optimism about the economy was put to test on Friday after the government reported U.S. hirings totaled only 88,000 in March, less half of the 200,000 forecast by economists.
'It caught a lot of people off-side and they are scrambling to get back into bonds,' Bill Irving, portfolio manager at Fidelity Investments in Merrimack, New Hampshire, said of Friday's jobs data.
Among the biggest ETFs for bond bears, the Proshares Ultrashort 20-plus Year Treasury fund were down 4.04 percent from Thursday, bringing its weekly loss to 8.54 percent. The $3.2 billion fund rose 3.56 percent in the first quarter and attracted inflows of $209.2 million in the first quarter and another $38.4 million in the latest week, according to data from Thomson Reuters' Lipper unit.
This type of leveraged ETF can pay handsomely because its gains double the daily price of long-dated U.S. Treasuries as tracked by a Barclays index. But it is risky because its losses double the price rise in long-dated Treasuries prices.
Market professionals advise investors against holding such leveraged ETFs for any length of time because of their extreme volatility and tendency toward exaggerated losses when the market moves against the fund's imbedded bet.
The Proshares Ultrapro Short 20-plus Year Treasury ETF is even riskier because its gains and losses are triple the daily price moves of long-dated Treasuries.
On Friday, the Ultrapro fund fell 6.24 percent on Friday, bringing its weekly loss to 12.91 percent. This ETF rose 5.36 percent in the first quarter.
Far smaller than the TBT, the TTT launched in March 2012 and has just $42.3 million in assets, according to Lipper. It has seen net inflows each month since launching, including a record $7.5 million last month, even though $10,000 reinvested in the fund since inception would have been worth just $7,125 at the end of February, the most recent data for which compound reinvestment data is available.
Still, that's more than would be left of $10,000 reinvested in the TBT since it launched in April 2008: Just $2,386 at of Feb. 28.

OJIN OnLine is a valuable paid subscription resource for court case information from all 36 of Oregon's circuit courts, in addition to the Tax & Appellate courts. It allows you to search for civil, small claims, tax, domestic, and criminal (including misdemeanor and felony) cases. Some cases are confidential and protected statutorily and therefore not available to the public.
OJIN Online allows access to all three case management systems in place for the Oregon Courts. Select an option from the menu below. If you are unsure of which courts are in a particular case management system, see the list in the box on the right side of this page.
