Wiener charges blogger with taking potty photo
I don't even know what to do with this except report it and tell you some background. Because it's just strange, all around.
Short story: Sup. Scott Wiener's pressing criminal charges against a blogger who tried to take a photo of him peeing in the City Hall men's room.
Michael Petrelis, the mad-man blogger who once called me for several days straight in the middle of the night to scream "your wife has syphillis!" into the phone, was at City Hall Oct. 26 with gay Honduran activist Erick Martinez. At some point, he decided to go into the public restroom on the second floor -- and noticed that Sup. Scott Wiener was in there, using the urinal.
Petrelis has been fighting with Wiener over a lot of issues, including the nudity ban and Wiener's efforts to remove benches from the plaza at 18th and Castro, and on the issues, he's been right. He has a history of demanding accountability from the LGBT power structure, sometimes in ways that are not exactly polite -- but he's still a valuable gadfly, and I've gotten over the insanity of the late-night calls (more on that below).
But in this case, Wiener was just trying to take a piss -- and Petrelis lifted his phone and tried to take a picture. Wiener's wiener, I guess. Supervisor taking a leak. I don't know exactly what he was going after, but the phone didn't work right and he couldn't get the photo until Wiener had buttoned up his pants and moved over to the sink, where he was going to brush his teeth.
Instead, he saw Petrelis and picked up the brush and toothpaste and left -- but not before the intrepid blogger snapped a pic, which wound up on the Petrelis Files blog. It's not a terribly attractive or terribly scandalous photo; guy with a toothbrush. Whatever.
But Wiener was, well, pissed -- and I don't blame him. We were always taught that you can take journalistic photos without the subject's permission in a place where people have no expectation of privacy; if there's any place in the world where a reasonable person would expect privacy, the bathroom would seem to quality.
Wiener called the cops -- or in this case, the Sheriff's Office, since that's who patrols City Hall.
Wiener's been complaining (for no reason, really) about the way the deputy sheriffs have responded to the protests over his nudity ban (come on -- the nudists really aren't a threat to anyone). But he asked for an investigation, filed a statement, and got the department to take it seriously enough to bring the matter to the district attorney for possible prosecution.
And the DA has filed charges.
Petrelis surrendered and was booked Nov. 29 on suspicion of violating Penal Code Section 647 (j) 1, which is typically used to prosecute peeping Toms: "Any person who looks through a hole or opening, into, or otherwise views, by means of any instrumentality, including, but not limited to, a periscope, telescope, binoculars, camera, motion picture camera, camcorder, or mobile phone, the interior of a bedroom, bathroom, changing room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the interior of any other area in which the occupant has a reasonable expectation of privacy, with the intent to invade the privacy of a person or persons inside."
Bail was initially set at $25,000, which is astonishingly high for this level of crime, but Petrelis and his lawyer, Derek St. Pierre, got it reduced and Petrelis was cited and released on his own recognizance.
Wiener's not talking; his office sent over a statement detailing the facts of the case and stating that Petrelis ... has political disagreements with me, has a history of inappropriate and harassing behavior." Both of those facts are undeniably true.
St. Pierre, though, thinks this is a huge waste of criminal justice resources. "I'm surprised that the D.A.'s Office decided to charge this case," he told me. "I don't see this as illegal conduct."
In fact, he said, "the most concerning part of the case is that Wiener references that face that they have political disagreements. That suggests to me that political differences are driving the supervisor's concerns."
Maybe -- or maybe he thinks his privacy really was invaded, and that Petrelis needs to be held accountable, too. As I said, I can't blame him; Petrelis was acting like a total asshole. You can fight with Wiener, as I often do, and you can make speeches and denounce and interrupt meetings at City Hall and do all manner of impolite protests, but Jesus -- the guy deserves the right to take a pee in peace.
That said, I have to wonder: Is this really worth turning into a criminal case? Did Wiener really have to take it that far? Petrelis, who loves attention, isn't going to back down. "We will be fighting this case," St. Pierre told me, starting with an arraignment hearing Dec. 5, at which I can pretty much guarantee the plea will be "not guilty."
So we might have a full-blown trial here, and (as a fan of restorative justice) I'm not so sure that the criminal courts are the best way to resolve this. You'd think they could go to Community Boards. Wiener could agree to personally lower the rainbow flag to half-staff every now and then and Petrelis could agree to clean pigeon shit off some newsracks. Or something.
Because I don't imagine that even Wiener wants to take the stand in a public trial and face cross-examination by Petrelis. The only winners at that spectacle would be the reporters.
PS: I don't even remember exactly why Petrelis started the late-night calls to my home phone; it was around the same time he was calling lots of other people. I think he was mad that the Guardian ran (or didn't run) some kind of ad around the doctor who was in charge of STD control at the Department of Public Health. I think there was some report about syphillis among gay men in SF that Petrelis didn't like. I just remember that my son was two years old and sick and we were having a hell of time getting him to sleep and just when he would finally nod off the phone would ring and Petrelis would yell at me about syphillis. I'd hang up and he'd call back ten seconds later and yell again. I finally paid the phone company $2 a month to block his calls.
I was not among those who sought a restraining order or went to the police; that's not my style. I was furious, but I knew it would pass, and eventually it did.
So will this, Scott.
Super Sensitive Scott Wiener!!
Sounds like he needs to be ribbed for pleasure.
At the urinal, in the stall, sure, one has an expectation of privacy. In the two private, lockable bathrooms around the corner near room 263, one has absolute privacy.
One former straight Supervisor liked to continue conversations as he was pissing into the urinal while others were washing up.
The bar on expectation of privacy for public figures has always been lower than for civilians.
This is evocative of a good dose of equal parts Pontius Pilate and Lady MacBeth.
I've had those conversations with that straight supervisor. It was rather constructive.

What a shock: Mike Petrelis acts like a jerk-off, and now finally someone calls bullshit on him. Life's rough - when you break the law and take pictures of people taking a piss, you can get in trouble. Looks like Mikey poo will get the lesson taught that clearly his mother, father, and community never bothered to teach - you fuck with people, you can get in trouble and you face consequences.
Petrelis: Another asswipe super-charged political blogger invading people's privacy. Good on Weiner for calling him out.
But he'll love all the publicity.
In contrast withTim, who apparently doesn't mind getting calls at midnight from nutjobs.
Petrelis is a Progressive NutJob, you see. He's one of our nutjobs. So no harm done.
I think it'll be fun to see Weinie cross-examined by Petrelis.
that joke was a real weaner, Greg ;)
Jason Grant Garza here .... wow, Mr. Wiener has every right to express NOT only his displeasure and to go to seek charges pressed; however, my question would be WHY does he get his actions taken seriously and prosecuted by the DA; however, when I went to the DA to press charges and arrest the Department of Public Health for DENIAL of MEDICAL CARE, ACCESS and ACCOMMODATION and CRIMINAL FRAUD etc ... I CAN get no ACTION ? See youtube video San Francisco Department of Public Health (CRIMINAL FRAUD ) ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo
Don't believe me ... go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eN41g_veF8&feature=plcp (youtube) or type in San Francisco DA Investigations Part 1 to see. Then look at part two ...
While on the subject of hurt feelings, law breaking activity or better yet a SENSE of MORALS or ETHICS ... what happened to case # 11048 where Mr. Wiener WAS FOUND GUILTY of OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT by the MINISTRY of SUNSHINE (sunshine task force) for conduct BEFORE ROSS's witch hunt? DID he recuse himself before the vote to have clean hands, no conflict of interest, etc? So he is upset over a possible violation ... what about his (Official Misconduct, the voting on Ross) ???
Let us NOT forget Mr. Wiener involvement in the SUNSHINE FIASCO ... where has he been during the 5 to 6 months that the MINISTRY of SUNSHINE was in a "NUCLEAR WINTER" and not CONVENED? Were the VICTIMS NOT entitled to JUSTICE? Did he in all his excellence ... state, question, demand ... HOW CAN THIS BE ... ARE THESE INDIVIDUALS NOT DUE PUBLIC RECORDS and the ASSURANCE? Type my name into google or seek more article here regarding sunshine, mr. wiener, dph, etc. Now, that the "NUCLEAR WINTER" has been lifted ... expect the SF Bay Guardian to write articles again; however, during the FAILURE (NUCLEAR WINTER) where were the articles? Please remember the "PRINCIPLE EVIDENT INTENT" ... and watch its example.
So go to youtube or type in http:///www.myownprivateguantanamo.com to see JUST HOW THE CITY handles its lawbreaking activity or youtube to see more RECENT law breaking activity; however, WHERE is my help, advocacy or even the DA prosecuting ... what a FARCE.
So while you are at youtube ... WATCH my other videos regarding the DISTRICT ATTORNEY ... run, hide, gather your children ... however, RIGGED PROCESS, EMPTY SPEECH, RISK MANAGEMENT, INHUMANITY and NO HOPE is what you will find at the DA UNLESS you are Wiener ... let us ALL cheer and believe. What a CROCK ...
Shall I tell you WHAT I HAVE received from the CITY ATTORNEY, DIRECTOR of PUBLIC HEALTH or the SHERIFF ... go to youtube. See Ministry cases # 08034, 11071, 11081, 11099, etc ... remember ... RIGGED is as RIGGED does.
An invasion of privacy and harassment. Send Petrelis to Jail for six months where he will be using a public potty for all criminals do admire his doo dooings.
When you're a member in good standing of The City Family like Supervisor Wiener, then there are no limits to what crimes and transgressions are excused and ignored/
While if you're viewed as an impurity, there are no limits to how the City Family cracks down on the slightest of possible transgressions.
Stalinism lives in San Francisco politics and big brother is Willie Brown.
Another creep who will be portrayed by the media as a leader of Progressive behavior.
and this is the first time I've heard it creditably suggested that the photo was of such.
If that is what Petrelis did, I do not support it.
I don't see what see what he was so pissed about. I'm sure there was nothing to see and less photograph with such an eensy, teensy weanie on a big Wiener.
The Guardian has now sunk to the point where they're defending peeping Toms. I guess this was the next logical step after they spent so much time and effort defending the right of a law enforcement officer to smack their spouse around.
no one is defending Petrelis or peeping Toms
Only in the penumbra of the main argument. The usual "do we REALLY need to involve the law here?" argument the Guardian enjoys making when those it sympathizes with are the target of the law.
I'm no fan of Wiener's politics but Petrelis has gone too far on this caper. Where is his sense of propriety?
...is counterrevolutionary, Guest. Get with the times!
Weiner is opposed to people running around with their penis out, so it makes perfect sense to Petrelis to take a picture of Weiner's penis?
I'm missing the connection. Having an abortion to show up people who are for abortion? Buying a handgun to teach people for gun rights a lesson handguns?
Marcos you are an idiot. At least I can take solace that people with your ideals have marginalized themselves to the point where excusing people who take pictures of others when they're peeing is a rallying point. So Weiner files charges against someone who tries to snap a pick of him peeing and "the city family" is conspiring with their Stalin-tactics once again huh? LOL
You have no idea how politics really works and everything is a conspiracy to you. What a loser. Or as Tim calls it, a "useful gadfly" for the "Progressives" who don't do shit except complain about conspiracies and backroom deals. What a fantasy world you've created Marcos, you moron haha.
Since the whole component of the progressive coalition that was comprised of San Franciscans who have real jobs and don't get paid to do advocacy work abandoned the coalition, its fortunes have foundered.
After I quit giving away hours of my life to progressives who were throwing them away or using them against me, things fell apart for the progressives.
Correlation isn't always causality, but it was not just me who got tired of being used by operators.
What's left is a zombie coalition that has as little time for me as I do for them.
Yes, Petrelis is batshit crazy, but Wiener is over reacting by making a criminal case out of a photograph being taken of a public figure at a sink in a public restroom.
in a public restroom, regardless of whether one is a public figure or not Marcos. Petrelis was way out of line on this - his actions are totally indefensible.
The photo taken at the sink is on the line, anything more would be over.
Jason Grant Garza here ... Marcos ... YOU ARE CORRECT ... IT IS A PHOTO of Weiner at a sink with a toothbrush. Where is the ILL INTENT??? From what I have read on the blogs ... not in a restroom as an EXCUSE? HOW many LOCKER/RESTROOM photos of sport players? I would not be surprised to hear that Anne Libeotwitz (sp???) didn't do a photo shoot of a sport player in a bathroom/restroom/locker room.
I feel that HOWEVER the important fact over looked is WHY for Weiner over a photo HOWEVER not for me in attempting to hold DPH accountable for the CRIMINAL FRAUD, denial of medical services, access and accommodation, etc? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo
Is it the same principle at ETHICS ??? with WHY with ROSS over OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT and NOT Weiner over his for case # 11048 http://www.sfbos.org/index.aspx?page=11889 in sunshine. Afterwards, ETHICS can explain to other VICTIMS who have sunshine findings of OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT WHEN they will proceed with as much VIGOR, FALSE CLAIMS of INTEGRITY and ETHICS. Don;t hold your breathe ... EXCEPT for MORE SPIN and LIES.
As far as what I got from the DA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zot6w6eVntU or what I got from the HELPFUL ??? DA Victim SERVICE UNIT ??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tZXh4PQwDE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHeXNe-HKp4 or Sheriff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYC-syG0D7Y over the CRIMINAL FRAUD is on youtube. Please note the ADVOCACY ??? So where do I go to PRESS charges, have the perps ARRESTED for CRIMINAL FRAUD and DENIALS?
Apparently we have PHOTO LAW that can be ENFORCED and people arrested; HOWEVER, NOT with MEDICAL LAW or ADA / Disability Rights? You JUDGE.
Yes, Virginia ... there are TWO TYPES of JUSTICE ...
What Weiner got and JUST THIS for US. What a CROCK.
Don't believe that the CITY pulls this kind of TRICKS ... go to http://myownprivateguantanamo.com ...
Wiener? Naked Guys? Urinal? Penal Code? I'm going to resist my baser instincts to capitalize on this smorgasbord of comedic potential and just make a serious comment. I won't bother condemning Petrelis for trying to take a pervy picture without permission in a public men's room. That this is over-the-line should be clear to any sane person. But, Tim, in my opinion, this guy calling your house and harassing you and your family is inexcusable. I also think that it points to a very disturbed mind at work and, sometimes, these borderline-types just go over the edge one day... to tragic results. I might not agree with your opinions very often, Tim, but I do respect you and your life's work and would never want to see a man or his family harmed.
To Progressives - I might not agree with your ideas most of the time either, but I do enjoy having you in San Francisco. Partly because, sometimes, you guys are right on target with your politics (though more often you are not), but also because I admire people who stand up for their convictions, even if I don't agree. And, let's face it, you all make this city a helluva lot more interesting to live in :) Having said that, I really think you should consider cutting loose some of the more ridiculously unstable members in your movement. There are plenty of Progressive gadflies around town that aren't certifiable, and these crazy fuckers are doing more harm than good to your cause IMO.
Take that for whatever you think it's worth (I'm sure a few of you will think that it's not worth shit).
Are you suggesting that there is some sort of official progressive committee which has granted Petrelis a license to practice and that this committee should meet to rescind the grant?
Or would you prefer that the progressives all meet at Market and Van Ness and publicly shun Petrelis in a Two Minute Hate?
It is emblematic of reactionary ant-like thought that their opposition must be quite as regimented as themselves.
These critters starkly wonder why we don't build bridges from the bodies of our fallen comrades and why we don't simply snap the heads off of them who won't follow the queen.
you would naturally jump to the defense of an otherwise indefensible invasion of privacy and decency.
What's the message here? If you cannot win a debate than act out?
Dressing up in a chicken suit to hold an evasive, smarmy and slimy mayor accountable at a public event has what again to do with an invasion of privacy?
and both served to discredit the perpetrator and diminish their credibility as a serious and viable political commentator.
I think he is suggesting that we could start by having the official progressive news organ of this town not cover Petrelis' antics and make semi-excuses for his behavior, and as a progressive I would agree.
Okay. Stipulated for the time being.
Now: provide a quote from the above story which seems to you to "make semi-excuses" for Petrelis.
unreasonable for pursuing this. 99% of observors would surely have unambiguosly criticized Petrelis for such an outrageous act.
It's what SFBG didn't say that exhibits their fundamental bias
Thank you, Guest. I'm glad someone understood.
To the Progressives - Do as you like. It's your funeral.
Nudity in public is a health issue. There is a reason people cover their a-hole in public and even in their homes. Fecal material gets on furniture inside and outside when not covered. Wait for an outbreak of Hep A or pinworms before you realize public nudity is not healthy. Keeping the legal option for demonstrations, parades and fairs seems appropriate. But the more you allow lounging around by naked people in public the increasing chance you have of any number of diseases being spread.
Plus a number of the 'nudists' have been shown to be sexual predators who simply enjoy their exhibitionism. Many San Franciscans simply yawn when they see a naked person on the street. I personally would not eat a meal in a restaurant that tolerated that behavior, even if only in their outdoor tables.
Concerned, not prudish RN
Wiener has already "covered" the public health aspects of nudity via mandated butt towels and prohibitions on nudity in restaurants.
Nothing to see here, move on.
I don't like Wiener at all. I think is nudity ban was unnecessary and his proposal to gut processes regarding development is just another indication that he is pro-1%.
But if Petrelis had done this to me, I would have punched him in the nose. He is a disgrace to bloggers, journalists and activists, and he probably helped Wiener with this stupid move.
It's clear that nothing short of that is effective.
As I understand it, there is no legal expectation of privacy in public restrooms.
There certainly is a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public restroom. And if there isn't then creeps like Petrelis will get off, in more ways than one.
I don't think that a reasonable expectation of privacy as relates to 4th amendment search and seizure the same thing as whether a law can ban photography of a public official at a sink in a public restroom.
Not me.
Anyway - if you're right then the court can overturn the law prohibiting it and issue a strong endorsement of the right to take pictures of public officials in public bathrooms - as long as they're at the sink.
I was responding to "Guest on Dec. 02, 2012 @ 6:18 pm" There is no reasonable expectation of privacy for an individual in a public rest room when it comes to 4th amendment unreasonable search and seizure. That is the context where the language "reasonable expectation of privacy" that is shielded from state intrusion. The question here is whether the state can create a zone of privacy where photos cannot be taken and whether that extends into a public restroom and whether that applies at the sink as it would in a stall or at a urinal.
if it is reasonable for some bozo with an axe to grind to try and snap your todger in the loo.
It is not against the law to try anything, it is against the law to perfect an action that is illegal. Trying to snap a photo of Scott's Wiener is not the same thing as snapping a photo of him washing his hands.
Conspiracy to commit a crime excepted, but there are no conspiracies except in my paranoid mind, right?
What's the idea here? If you cannot win a debate then act like a child?
It is not against the law to try anything, it is against the law to perfect an action that is illegal?
Mmmkay, so if I shoot a bullet at you with intent to kill you, but I miss , I wouldn't be charged with attempted murder? I didn't perfect the action, right.
Just because this moron was incompetent and didn't get the picture that he wanted doesn't excuse him from his actions.
he's clearly unhinged, and frankly, I'm glad the Supervisor is pushing back. For all we know, next time he'll do something more dangerous. But then again, a lot of folks around here would make excuses for that, as well.

Two Queen's profs part of national ovarian cancer initiative
Queen's University professors are part of a new pan-Canadian initiative that aims to change the way ovarian cancer is diagnosed and managed.
Janet Dancey and Jeremy Squire are among the 35 investigators from across Canada taking part in COEUR, a five-year, multi-site program that will identify new biomarkers to predict and treat the relatively rare but deadly form of cancer.
"This project is tremendously important for identifying markers for early diagnosis and for improved treatment options for patients with ovarian cancer," says Dr. Dancey, a professor in the Department of Oncology and a medical oncologist at Kingston General Hospital.
The team's work will help clinicians better determine what treatment will work best for each patient. Patients who do not respond to standard therapy can be directed to clinical trials where new therapies are being validated.
"It is a privilege to be part of this extraordinary national effort," says Dr. Squire, a professor in the Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine and doctor at Kingston General Hospital. "We all believe this project will contribute enormously to relieving the burden of ovarian cancer."
The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) initiative, and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer are providing a total of $5-million in funding for the program. The NCIC Clinical Trials Group at Queen's is also collaborating on the project.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the Western world. One in every four women diagnosed with this form of cancer is resistant to standard first-line chemotherapy.

About Lightolier
Lightolier is a company with a rich history of growth and innovation. Lightolier was founded in 1904, in the early days of electric lighting. By the Second World War, Lightolier had built a reputation for design leadership in decorative lighting. After the war, the company entered the architectural lighting market in a major way. Rapidly, Lightolier earned recognition for its sophisticated and sensitive designs. With its introduction of track lighting in the 1960's, the company became an important player in the fast growing store lighting market. Also in the 1960's the company began asserting its expertise in downlighting reflector technology. Lightolier figured importantly in the use of downlights in residential, as well as hospitality and entertainment spaces. In the 1970's, Lightolier pioneered high-performance fluorescent lighting and lighting systems for stores and office work spaces. In 1986, Lightolier created the first digital dimmer and entered the lighting controls market; energy controls followed in 1991.

A building that was initially destroyed by a fire last summer went up in flames due to weather conditions and a debris pile today in the 500 block of E. 24th Street.
Tucson Fire responded to the scene of a fire caused by the use of an oxyacetylene torch and fueled by high winds just after 10:30 a.m., according to a news release.
Capt. Barrett Baker with the Tucson Fire Department said the building, which was once Don's Frozen Food locker, was razed last year after being engulfed in a two alarm fire last July.
Workers removed debris with a torch to cut metal when the wood caught fire.
Officials say the fire progressed rapidly due to high winds pushing the flames to the north, as well as impinging on power lines between the two properties.
Nearby train tracks east of the property were shut down for more than an hour due to heavy smoke.
Heavy equipment will be needed to remove the larger debris piles to assist in the firefighting efforts.
Overall, eight units and 27 firefighters brought the fire under control in twelve minutes. There were no reported injuries to firefighters.
The estimated damages were not determined.

NEW ORLEANS -- Imagine watching the roof fly off your neighbor's home as a tornado tears through your neighborhood.
Keith Bergeron was standing right here when he captured it all on video.
"Everything was flying by us."
You can see the debris shooting through the air in the video above. Bergeron's own camper and trailer ended up slamming into his Grand Isle home, feet from where he stood.
"I actually seen the trailer come up and flip in the air and hit right there, and then it just threw it into the camp," Bergeron said.
(Click the photo to images of the tornadoes)
You can see the aftermath throughout Bergeron's street. Officials say more than half a dozen structures near Raspberry Lane are severely damaged. This trailer had its roof torn completely off.
One camp had a 2-by-4 pierce the wall in the master bedroom.
"It pushed that whole wall down, about 6 to 8 inches," Joe Kilner said.
Kilner said no one was there at the time, as it is a vacation home. "Quite a few tornadoes pass through here, but not all of them do the damage," Kilner said.
Entergy crews restored power within a few hours. The twister left the entire island in the dark.
Meanwhile, as Bergeron reflects on what he saw, he thinks back on what could have happened.
"That camper could have broke the pylons that's holding this deck up, and fell on us. It's just a whole bunch of scenarios that could have happened," Bergeron said. "That's it. We're lucky."
The last time there was a big tornado with a lot of damage in Grand Isle was nearly two decades ago, in 1993. Three died that year, but there were no injuries reported Wednesday.

Bugzilla 3.2 Has Oracle Linkup and Better Services
The Bugzilla project has released its version 3.2. Next to Oracle support it has many new improvements to its services
The new release of Bugzilla is the first to use an Oracle database, albeit in an experimental stage, according to the developers' status report. The open source databases MySQL and PostgreSQL are still the preferred mechanisms, although die-hard Oracle users can begin applying their favorite DBMS. Oracle has already put development time into the integration effort. But the Oracle linkup is not without its faults, warns the Bugzilla project.
To improve its user interface, the Mozilla folks instituted a Bugzilla interface team, or Bugzilla:UE. Part of their support comes from the Human-Computer Interaction department at NASA, one of Bugzilla's showcase users along with Red Hat and Facebook.
The bug editing page, show_bug.cgi, now provides one-step modifications of error statuses and their values. It includes new custom fields for free text, multiple selection and date/time display. You can also customize the status lists, transition between them, and require comments for certain status transitions.
Bugzilla 3.2 also has better UTF-8 multi-byte language support. From an appearance angle, the UI has a new, colorful default skin, called "Dusk." Installation should also be easier due to a perl script called install-module.pl that automatically downloads from the Web into the Bugzilla directory, hence leaving your perl directory untouched. The new release has perl v5.8.1 as its minimum requirement, with a number of new perl modules activated. The Bugzilla release notes include further details.
The Bugzilla team sees 3.2 as the first step in the direction 4.0. Its roadmap describes the path to the next major release, including tasks to clean up version branching and integrate OpenID.
The release of 3.2 ends support for the 2.2 branch, for which all bug fixes and security updates will be suspended. Bugzilla admins are encouraged to upgrade. Bugzilla is a project of the Mozilla Foundation that falls under the Mozilla Public License (MPL) and is ready for download. The code is available as tarball or CVS checkout and has a number of localized templates. The Bugzilla team provides a demo installation.

A MOST WANTED MAN Review
by Adam Chitwood Posted 38 days ago
[This is a re-post of my A Most Wanted Man review from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. The film opens in limited release this weekend.]
The spy thriller genre—like all genres—has its fair share of tropes and clichés. The best entries are ones that take the foundation of the genre and expand upon it or put a new spin on the material. Director Anton Corbijn's latest film, A Most Wanted Man, is a solid and sharply smart entry into the spy genre that manages to explore dark characters and difficult topics while foregoing the typical action-heavy formula, sidestepping audience expectations in the process. This is not a film that takes shortcuts just to make its audience happy, and though the final results may not delve as deep into some of its themes as one would expect, A Most Wanted Man still manages to be an involving, tense, and slow-burn thriller. Read my full review after the jump.

Hitch in scheme for Morrisons store
12:10pm Saturday 16th February 2013 in Business
PLANS for a new Morrisons superstore in Wallingford have been delayed due to concerns about town centre trade and the environment.
A planning application has been submitted for the store on the Hithercroft estate, which will bring £25m of investment, and £6.7m a year for the local economy, according to the chain.
The planning application for the store was due to be considered by South Oxfordshire district councillors this week.
But now the plans are expected to be considered on March 13, after the Environment Agency objected because of concerns about the petrol filling station that is part of the proposal.
Michael Moore, head of major applications at SODC, said: "If the EA comments are not resolved, that is a reason for refusing planning permission."
The new store would bring about 300 new full and part-time jobs.

People won't eat any more food than they already do because there is another food shop. If they are going there, they are not going somewhere else. That somewhere else won't get the trade and will have to close or at best lay staff off. There is no slack in the economy to 'create' jobs from yet more retail.

Their bread and bakery products are often out of date too.
Hopefully they sort out the issues. I sometimes shop at Tesco in Didcot. Having a Morrisons in Wallingford will mean my money stays in the town (well you know what I mean). I do use Waitrose too btw.

Like the Butchers (gone), Greengrocers (gone), Bakers (gone and I really miss that bread and those cakes), Fishmonger (gone even longer).
It would be greener for Wallingford as people living in Wallingford will not have so far to travel.
It might actually attract more trade to the town for the other shops.

We have lots of hairdressers too many florists and enough charity shops all of wich other no job perspectives as small buisnesses. And expensive. Not everyone can afford waitrose and i have friends / family outside wallingford who also would travel here for Morrissons as at the moment travel out to Reading just because its great value for money and great fresh food. Wallingford offers nothing to come in for at the moment, so its great that people will want to visit our town

That's not to say that these things should happen if that's what people want, but to claim that new supermarkets create jobs as a justification is disingenuous.

Wallingford has a number of young unemployed people. Note the term UNEMPLOYED. So if they move from being unemployed to being employed by Morrisons then they have a NEW job created by – guess what? Morrisons opening. I can't make it any simpler!
In fact, Morrisons opening will bring much needed consumer choice to the town. The only other retailer it will affect to any significant degree is Waitrose. No bad thing as a little research will reveal the profit margins for the Wallingford Waitrose are some 1.5 times the national average for the chain, simply because Waitrose has the local monopoly.
Of course, the likes of nickd2 would deny the local population this choice because of some personal ill-founded concepts which bear no relation to the well-established principles of microeconomic analysis that can be applied to local economies such as exist in Wallingford and its environs.

This money saved is then available to spend eslewhere perhaps either creating or retaining existing jobs.

You are just spending the same money in a different way. You aren't spending new money. To create jobs you either need new money or to cut the wages of those in existing jobs.

I grasp perfectly the basic principle that it will increase employment *in Wallingford*, though probably not by the amount suggested.
What it won't do is increase employment overall.
The fact is, Morrisons would be good for the people of Wallingford. The vast majority understand this and that's why they want it built!

I wish you'd stop being parochial or assuming that I am. Increasing retail space does not reduce unemployment when there's no concurrent growth in the economy - people with more money - to spend in it It just moves jobs from one place to another.
I've never heard anyone advocating a big shop building program to improve the nation's employment statistics.
However, if you wish to persist with illogical dogma then it's your prerogative. Nothing more to be said
12:24pm Fri 22 Feb 13
nickd2 says...
Is the £6.7m new money or money that would otherwise be spent elsewhere?
Once we've got that straight we can decide whether there's a net increase in employment or not. If my reluctance to believe that you can create something from nothing is illogical dogma then so be it.

ATLANTA — Cam Newton ran the whole game, so the Panthers quarterback wasnt about to stop Sunday after the Panthers clinched their first division title in five years.
After finishing a TV interview minutes after the 21-20 win against the Atlanta Falcons, Newton ran along the wall of the Georgia Dome, slapping hands with some of the thousands of Panthers fans who made the drive down Interstate 85.
Newton worked his way to the visitors locker room, where he was greeted by the blaring notes of Im a King by T.I. and by teammates wearing black division champions hats.
The Panthers are back in the playoffs after a five-year absence, and Newton said they plan on staying a while.
Were past due for this opportunity. We have it. We know we have to seize the moment, Newton said after mentioning everyone from owner Jerry Richardson to the teams coaches and fans. Im excited. Im ecstatic about it.
And were not done here yet.
The Panthers (12-4) joined the 1996, 2003 and 2008 teams as the franchises only division winners and clinched a first-round bye and at least one home playoff game. Carolina is the No. 2 seed in the NFC behind Seattle (13-3), and will host a playoff game at Bank of America Stadium the weekend of Jan. 11-12.
A Panthers team that started 1-3 won 11 of its final 12 games to match the 96 and 08 teams for the most regular-season wins in franchise history.
Everybody wrote us off. They said, The Carolina Panthers should get rid of coach Ron Rivera. We dont have great enough players to win. We started off 1-3 and look at us now, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. Were 12-4. We won our division. Weve got a first-round bye. Now weve got to get this out of our system and get ready to see who our opponent is.
Defensive end Charles Johnson wasnt interested in looking back.
I aint worried about where we come from, Im worried about where were headed, he said Were trying to do something better than what weve been doing. I aint worried about the past. Im worried about now.
Johnson was part of a defense that sacked Matt Ryan nine times, the most Ryan had gone down in a game and a Panthers single-game record.
Defensive end Greg Hardy contributed four of the sacks, breaking Johnsons single-game record of 3.5 set last season at Atlanta. Hardy finished with 15 sacks, which tied Kevin Greenes Panthers single-season mark from 1998.
Hardys season-ending flourish he had eight sacks during the past three games comes at an opportune time: The former sixth-round pick is set to become a free agent this offseason.
Hardys value could continue to rise with a strong postseason.
Im talking about championships right now, Hardy said. They pay a whole lot more for that.
While the Panthers were beating up Ryan, Newton kept scrambling away from the Falcons pressure despite playing on an ankle he sprained last week in the win against New Orleans.
Newton was the games leading rusher with 12 carries for 72 yards both season highs and threw for a pair of touchdowns. Newton was sacked once on a play when he ran out of bounds for no gain.
His ankle apparently was OK.
It was great. It worked out fine, Newton said. But I cant keep making a living running as many times as I did. But if the game plan or the defense gives me that opportunity, (Ill) take it.
The Panthers erased an early 10-0 deficit, thanks in large part to cornerback Melvin White. The undrafted rookie bailed out running back DeAngelo Williams, who fumbled at the end of a 56-yard catch, by intercepting Ryan two plays after the fumble and returning it 8 yards for a touchdown.
Newtons 7-yard touchdown strike to tight end Greg Olsen gave the Panthers a 21-17 third-quarter lead. Matt Bryant pulled Atlanta to 21-20 with a 37-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter.
The Falcons began their final drive at their 12 with 1 minute, 20 seconds remaining and out of timeouts.
Four Ryan completions moved Atlanta to its 43 with 31 seconds left. But on first-and-10, the Panthers fans in attendance created a dome-field disadvantage for the Falcons.
With Ryan barking out the Panthers defensive front and coverage from the shotgun, center Joe Hawley thought he heard Ryan yell the cadence. Hawley snapped the ball before Ryan was ready, and the ball rolled 16 yards before running back Jason Snelling fell on it at the 27.
Ball game.
It was just miscommunication. You hate for it to happen at that time, Ryan said. It wasnt the right time to not be on the same page.
Several Panthers players said it seemed the Carolina fans were louder than the Falcons at times Sunday.
That was a first for me, especially in this place, center Ryan Kalil said. It was unbelievable. It felt like a home game.
Id seen that in years past, but in our stadium.
Added safety Mike Mitchell: Thats why they messed the snap up. That was a huge advantage for us. Our crowd was awesome, coming down here to Atlanta from Charlotte. It was big-time. That won us the game. They had miscommunication with the snap. Thats huge.
The win means the Panthers will get at least one playoff game in front of their home fans. Johnson said players dont want a repeat of 2008, when the Panthers were drilled by Arizona at home in the divisional round after a bye week.
Inside a loud, victorious Panthers locker room, Munnerlyn one of the smallest players on the team dared to dream big.
Were going to the Super Bowl, he said. I feel this defense, were one of the best defenses in the NFL. And with our front seven, theyre doing an excellent job. They keep pressure off us in the back end. All weve got to do is show up and make plays.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
WILLIAMSBURG—An eight-point Cardinals' lead with 4 minutes to play had evaporated and it looked like another hard-luck loss was brewing. When a final shot by Williamsburg's Corey Shelton rattled in and out, South Laurel could take a deep breath.
"It's bad coaching. It's all on me and I am being dead serious," South Laurel coach Jeff Davis said. "We've had to work on so many things with this bunch from rebounding, taking care of the ball, getting offenses in and all of that kind of stuff."
Davis said end-of-game situations have been on the back burner during practice.
The Cardinals led by as much as 12 points in the fourth quarter and were still up four with one minute to play. The Cardinals lead began to fade when Williamsburg's leading scorer, Skyler Griffith, got hot. Griffith averages 19 points per game, including 2.6 three-pointers per game. He had been held to nine points and without a three-pointer through three quarters.
"He's going to get his. We did lose him a couple of times and when you lose him he hits it," Davis said.
Griffith made a trio of three-pointers in less than three minutes to cut the South Laurel lead to five with 3:50 to play. The lead was still five with 1:47 remaining. A steal on an inbounds play led to a free throw for the Yellow Jackets. Another steal and layup made it a 52-50 game with 37 seconds.
"We've got to get better at time and scoring situational stuff. That falls back on me. You can tell them in the huddle as much as you want, but unless you practice it," Davis said. "I promise we will start practicing it."
A Blake Sanders' free throw added a point to the lead. Shelton was fouled on a drive and made both free throws. The South Laurel lead was down to one point with 20 seconds. The Cardinals tried a run out on the inbounds with Sanders missing the layup with 15 seconds and Williamsburg getting the rebound.
The South Laurel defense responded by limiting the Yellow Jackets final shot to a tough three-pointer that Shelton almost made.
"I think our defense allowed us to overcome some of the easy missed shots we had in the first half and the second half. So I think our defense kind of carried us for most of the game," Davis said. "Second, I think we took great shots. We attacked them in the paint. We made the extra pass and guys were ready to catch and shoot."
South Laurel trailed by a point after a see-saw first quarter in which they made just 5-of-19 shots. The teams continued to trade punches in the second quarter with the Cardinals holding a 28-26 lead at the break. The third quarter would begin with Williamsburg scoring the first six points to regain a 32-28 lead. But they would go scoreless the final 4:56 of the half.
"I think our zone really helped us overcome some of that stuff and we got them off balance I think for most of the game," Davis said.
With the win, the Cardinals now know their first round opponent in the 50th District Tournament will be Whitley County. Davis said he wasn't sure how much knowing the opponent would help.
"I don't know if it is good or not with this bunch," Davis said. "With this bunch we have got to focus on tomorrow. That's the way we have treated this whole year."
The Cards were at Clinton County Saturday and will host Madison Central Tuesday.

Maritza Biological Station
This is the newest and most accessible station and has a modern laboratory. From the station, at 600m above sea level, rough trails run to the summits of Volcán Orosi and Volcán Cacao (about five to six hours). A better trail leads to a site where several hundred petroglyphs have been found that are chipped into volcanic rock.

Mahalo Grill Replacement?
Original post made by Main Street Lover on May 25, 2010
Comments (10)
on May 25, 2010 at 4:44 pm
If you read the posts from months ago when Mahalo closed, the owner said he was only closed temporarily due to water damage. Right. He had to close because his caustic approach to customers drove all of us away.

on May 25, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Just what Pleasanton needs another restaurant downtown, lol!!!
on May 25, 2010 at 10:45 pm
I was hoping for a bank....
on May 26, 2010 at 8:18 am
Nonni's is a very popular bistro in Carmel. This should be a great addition to downtown. California cuisine with a European flair, or something like that.
on May 26, 2010 at 8:54 am
Oh drats, & I was hoping for yet another day spa/hair salon/mani-pedi/fat sucking & Lipo injecting establishment downtown. Or maybe another nice big neon sign for the next "massage" parlor on 1st street.
on May 26, 2010 at 11:47 am
Nonni's is a spinoff of Bistro 211 located at #211, The Crossroads in Carmel, thus the name. Very good food at reasonable prices. It should be a nice addition to downtown.
on May 26, 2010 at 12:08 pm
We don't want 'reasonable' prices downtown!! High prices keep the riff-raff out!!
on May 26, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Judging by what has gone in most recently, it will probably be a massage parlor or retailing dope gear. Or yet another bar that wants to play loud music and attract roudies to do vulgar things outside the joint.

Pleasanton doesn't sound bitter at all this time of month.

The latest Nokia Maps update refuses to install either via Nokia Suite or OTA (version 3.8.105) but simply says that something went wrong/isntall failed and doesn't even report an error code. I installed another update for the phone ca 1 week or so ago and Maps wouldn't connect to a GPS-satellite and thus was unable to navigate but this seems to have corrected itself with the reset.
I've tried soft resetting and returning the phone to factory settings but the update still refuses to download and install.
30-11-2011 7:58
Hi Phexaer,
Could you send us your installation logfile (please attach the file) which is located on your device. The logfile will be located in either: c:\dat\solosmartinstallerlog.txt or c:\solosmartinstallerlog.txt (on your device, not your PC). Please email this file to: firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject: Nokia Maps Suite installation issues. In the text add your device and software version. You can get the sw version by typing in *#0000#.
Also if you could add the link to this thread and your user name if it's different from your email that would be great!
Many thanks,
30-11-2011 20:34
I have a problem like this: in Nokia Suite (3.2.100) i find a Nokia Maps update (3.8.105) for my N8 but the Install button is disabled and I can't start the update. My N8 has Symbian Anna (22.014) with personalization 022.014.263.03 and Ovi Maps is v3.06 11wk23 b05 - Map version 0.2.44.110.
Please can I have any suggestion on how to update my phone?
Thank you
Best regards
Massimiliano Andriotto
30-11-2011 22:53 - edited 30-11-2011 22:56
Try this.
Settings>> Application Manager >> Installed Apps >> ODML commons repository
I got rid of that file and my phone hasn't had any installation issues at all. It was causing all my installations to come back with error messages.
Hope that helps.
01-12-2011 23:07 - edited 01-12-2011 23:23
After updating to Anna, I have no Ovi Maps at all on my N8. I`ve tried using Nokia Suite, but when I click the Maps icon, it tries to connect then tells me there are no maps on my device. And when I go to the Nokia Store, Maps are 'no longer available'. How can I get it back onto my phone?
I should add, in Installed Apps, I have Nokia Maps 6kb, and Maps Suite pre-release 262kb.

Wyoming: Tour Yellowstone by ski or snowshoe
By Jane Engle
July 8, 2013
Here's one way to experience Yellowstone National Park as nature intended: quietly, without the summer crowds. But you'll need to don cross-country skis or snowshoes and brave chilly weather to do it.
VBT, a longtime operator of hiking and biking tours that recently added ski itineraries, is offering a six-day trip, "
Yellowstone in the Winter: Skiing America's First National Park
," next year. The park's renowned geysers can seem even more spectacular amid snow, and wildlife can be easier to spot against the stark landscape.
Participants will spend two to four hours a day on skis or snowshoes, covering two to nine miles. Highlights include Old Faithful Geyser and other geothermal features, frozen waterfalls and Lamar Valley wildlife.
Departures Jan. 5 and 26, and Feb. 9, 16 and 23.
$2,595 a person, double occupancy; $595 single supplement. The price includes five nights in two park lodges, 12 meals, free use of ski or snowshoe equipment and boots, ski clinics, local snow coach transport, route maps and government taxes and fees. It does not include transportation to and from the park. A two-night, pre-trip stay in Bozeman, Mont., can be added for $195 a person, double occupancy; $195 single supplement.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Five years after Apple debuted its App Store, downloads across the globe top $50 billion.
"This is definitely not something that's going to die out soon. It's just going forward and pushing along, and it's exciting to be a part of that," said Sheena Howell, marketing director at QBOT in Little Rock.
QBOT was created in 2012 and features a downloadable app that compiles discount codes and loyalty cards for restaurants and businesses around Arkansas. QBOT relies on app downloads for all its business and has already gained more than 100,000 subscribers in the past year.
But, with success comes imitation, and Howell said the company is prepared for similar apps to come in the future.
"People will come into the market and saturate it just like anything else. The big thing is being the first one in the market here and dominating that," she explained.
For five years, smart phone and tablet users have boosted the app business and allowed simple ideas such as Instagram to take off. The third most popular app in the world was recently purchased by Facebook for $1 billion.
THV 11 has its own app available on iPad and Android.

Something was wrong — my air conditioner was out.
The problem was so pressing that my wife and I actually went to the trouble of finding the phone book and got to work on calling repairmen.
Something had to be done.
The temperature the night before had crawled into the 80s, making sleep impossible.
The fan was on full blast and sheets and blankets were tossed aside, still, it was no use.
There was no way I would make it through two sleepless nights.
After a series of calls, we finally got a repairman to the house.
Within five minutes he had found the problem. I don't really remember what it was.
He told me what had happened and even showed me what had caused me to break a sweat in my own home. The fact is, I didn't hear anything past 'Your air conditioning should be working now.'
He could have charged me $1,000 and I would have gladly paid it.
Back in the house, I basically fell down face first in front of the nearest vent.
I was reminded of that air conditioner problem last week when we stopped by the USS Alabama Battleship in Mobile on the way home from the beach.
Looking back, I don't remember a sign in front of the ship that read, "Beware! No Air!"
There should have been one.
The ship hasn't been used in quite a while, leaving plenty of time to put in some window units.
No such luck.
By the time we wrapped up our tour through the bottom deck, everyone we encountered looked like they had just completed mowing their lawn on July 4th. We all had sweat-soaked shirts.
Thermometer readings in the bowels of the ship were in the 90s. Had there been a splash-pad down there, we would have all gladly ran through without even thinking about it.
Luckily, the other two decks of the ship were cooler.
I left the USS Alabama with new respect for the men and women who served on the ship.
Tight quarters and no air conditioning is not a good mix for any group of people.
I am going to be reminded yet again of the comfort of air conditioning next month when high school football practices start across the state.
I'm only at the practices for a few minutes and I realize how hot it can get — and I'm not wearing shoulder pads or a helmet. I have respect for the kids who brave the temperatures to show a little school pride — no matter the wins and losses.
In this day and age it's a lot easier to stay in the air conditioning playing video games. Forget the games, all I need is the AC.

OSHKOSH It is a spectacle seen nowhere else in the world. Each year, in mid-April the largest population of lake sturgeon in the world spawns in northeastern Wisconsin. The giant, prehistoric fish make their way from the Winnebago Lakes up the Wolf River as they have for the past 10,000 years.
More on sturgeon season headlines from around Wisconsin | browse, share photos | Explore record sturgeon | Registration stations
While groups of male sturgeon battle it out for the opportunity to fertilize a females eggs, standing on the shore are groups of volunteers making sure the fish are not touched. It has been this way for nearly 30 years and will happen again in 2012.
The Department of Natural Resources is looking for volunteers for the Sturgeon Guard. This elite group was created in the mid-1980s to make sure the fish, which slam themselves along the shoreline during spawning, arent illegally netted or speared.
Those working as members of the sturgeon guard are extremely important to the continued strength of the sturgeon population, said warden supervisor Carl Mesman, DNR sturgeon camp coordinator, Our volunteers are not only passionate about protecting the fish, but have become part of this incredible success story. Many come back year after year just to be a part of it.
Spawning usually takes place between a five and nine day period. Those who can be available day or night have the best chance of observing the spawning sturgeon. Guards should be prepared for any and all weather conditions and are encouraged to pair up with a friend or family member to keep them company during their 12-hour shifts.
Anyone interested in volunteering should visit the DNR website [dnr.wi.gov] and search for sturgeon guard.

Police cracked open two safes as part of an investigation that has already resulted in the seizure of heroin and 35 guns.
Inside the safes officers found more heroin, more guns and a whole lot of cash.
Joshua Buettner, 30, and Jehna Gowanlock, 26, were arrested at separate southeast Portland locations on Feb. 20. Police said they had been investigating the pair since January when officers learned they might be involved in the distribution of heroin.
They were arraigned in court the following day on various drug charges and are due back in court March 7.
On Tuesday, police served a search warrant to open two safes that were recovered during the investigation. Officers said they found more than $100,000 in cash, more than an ounce of heroin and four handguns.
None of those guns in the safe were reported stolen.
The investigation is continuing and additional charges could be filed against Buettner and Gowanlock.

SPOKANE, WASH. - Sources close to the Spokane Police Department confirm with KHQ's Alex Rozier Friday evening that Scott Stephens, the former acting Police Chief of the Spokane Police Department, has been placed on an administrative leave pending an internal investigation. The sources confirm that the matter is not criminal in nature, strictly related to internal issues.
Stephens began his work with the department in 1984 and in March of 1986 he was hired as a full time police officer. He worked his way up to Major on January 11, 2009 and eventually was promoted to acting Police Chief after Anne Kirkpatrick left the department on January 2nd of 2012.
On October 8th of 2012 Mayor David Condon announced Frank Straub as the newest Spokane Police Chief and within months he began making major changes. At a press conference on December 21st, 2012 Straub announced that he was "reassigning" Stephens from the rank of Assistant Police Chief to Captain and he promoted Major Craig Meidl to Assistant Chief.
Sources close to the department say after nearly three decades of work with the department Stephens did not take the demotion well. Multiple people described the issues related to Captain Stephens as "sensitive."

Sheffield cracks top 25 on homer list
Slugger belts career homer No. 493 off Feldman in Texas
ARLINGTON -- Gary Sheffield's two-run homer Monday night against the Rangers wasn't simply a big shot on the scoreboard. With his 493rd career home run, he moved into a tie with good friend Fred McGriff and Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig on the all-time Major League list.
Texas left-hander Scott Feldman was shutting out the Tigers on three singles when Sheffield stepped to the plate in the seventh inning with Carlos Guillen on first. He drove a 2-2 pitch down the left-field line and inside the foul pole for his 13th home run of the season, putting the Tigers on the scoreboard and sparking a four-run inning that eventually pushed Detroit in front.
In the process, Sheffield moved into the top 25 on the career homers list by drawing even with McGriff, a fellow Tampa, Fla., native and a teammate with Sheffield on the 1993 Padres, as well as Gehrig. That in itself is a feat for Sheffield, who told reporters last week that matching McGriff was the most meaningful statistical milestone for him.
"That's the one that means the most," Sheffield said of matching McGriff after the game.
The two had talked about the mark when the Tigers had their weekend series at Tampa Bay earlier this month. With the milestone looming for a while, it was a topic they had discussed before the season even began, though injuries slowed his pace early on.
"I knew that I was hurting a little bit earlier [in the season]," Sheffield said, "and I said, 'Now I'm starting to feel like myself every day.' Still, I have an uphill battle to go, but I'm going to get there. I told him I'm going to get back to the 30-, 40-home-run guy. That's pretty much what we talk about more than anything."
McGriff and Gehrig are the last mileposts on the all-time list until the 500-homer mark. Sheffield has eight home runs in 28 games since the All-Star break, a pace that could allow him to threaten the mark by season's end.
