Thank you Jeb for stepping up to the plate and being the first to report in my father's defense. It was hard for my family to see how some of the people in Pleasanton, whom for most of the part haven't been around long enough to even see the accomplishments my father did for the schoolboard, would be so rash towards him and my family and questioning his integrity. My father is my hero, infact, ask any one of his children.. he is ALL of our heros. He is a man of honor, integrity and devotion to what means most to him. And one of those that means the most to him is being a member on the school board. So for those of you in Pleasanton who have a problem with my father, I am sorry. You are wasting your time and look very foolish.
on Jul 11, 2008 at 12:38 pm
The question of Trustee residency is a legitimate concern that deserves public scrutiny.
So much for supporting free speech or the integrity of elected office.
I am very disappointed that Jeb committed to call me concerning the Kernan residency issue but never did. Seeing his editorial I can't help being upset that he did not take the time to talk to me as he committed to doing before writing this.
Many of the things said in the editorial are wrong. There was a speaker at the meeting that supported my concerns while Pat did not have one member of the public, that was not related to him or that is a Pleasanton resident, speak for him.
Jim Ott allowed the time to present this issue because it is required by law that a member of the public be allowed time to do so. He did not defuse any of my points in fact he and John Casey were wrong on their understanding of the Quo warranto process and what they told the board. The reporter from the Times confirmed that fact in their story Web Link.
The board vote that was taken was based on the biased and wrong information given to the board. Even so three of the four agreed if there was no cost they would like a definitive answer.
Jim was also wrong in explaining how it was possible for Pat to have gotten called to jury duty in El Dorado County. If as Mr. Kernan claims he has maintained his voter registration and drivers license in Alameda County it would not seem possible to get called to jury duty in El Dorado County. Vehicle registration is not used.

El Dorado Superior Court, how Jurors Are Summoned: The selection of jurors is governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure. Jurors' names are selected at random from lists of registered voters and persons who have valid California drivers' licenses or identification cards.
The requirement of residency for local representation is a legitimate concern. Jim Ott was wrong to attempt to put me on the defensive by questioning my motives, Jim's questions were irrelevant and wrong.
I can't help being disappointed that our local paper does not put the public's need for accountability above a personal friendship.
I will respond with an update and facts later.
on Jul 11, 2008 at 3:01 pm
The Ca. Attorney Generals Office has said that the district has a responsibility to protect the integrity of the elected office of school trustee.
The superintendent and school board members had knowledge of the sale of Pat Kernan's Pleasanton home and subsequent purchase of a replacement property in Camino Ca. before his 2006 bid for reelection. The president of the school board Jim Ott made it clear that he did not think Mr. Kernan or the district had any responsibility to disclose that information to the general public so they could challenge his reelection.
Therefore it is not surprising that PUSD and the trustees are not willing to pursue the issue but instead feel the burden should be on the public.
Below I have cited the laws that I believe show that Pat Kernan is in violation of the Ca. residency requirement. I have listed all facts that I believe to be true. I have included the points from PUSD's attorney's letter and the questions it raises.
California Education code 35107
Establishes a residency requirement
Any person, regardless of sex, who is 18 years of age or older, a citizen of the state, Must be a resident of the school district…
California Government Code Section 244
In determining the place of residence the following rules shall be observed: (a) It is the place where one remains when not called else where for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he or she returns in seasons of repose. (b) There can only be one residence.
As the Freiman letter makes clear Mr. Kernan keeps an apartment in Pleasanton for work purposes. Mr. Kernana's wife also stated Pat leaves for work on Monday and returns home on Friday. The apartment appears to be where he is, "called for labor or other special or temporary purpose."
Mr. Kernan spent his convalescence after a recent medical procedure in his home in Camino. That would appear to be where he returns in a time of repose.
Government Code section 1770:
Residence for purposes of Government Code section 1770 means domicile, a place of physical presence coupled with an intention to make that place ones permanent home; a person may only have one domicile at any given time.
The evidence is overwhelmingly compelling that Mr. Kernan has establish Camino as his permanent home. The rented apartment shared with his adult daughters is for short term work necessity. The home he owns and shares with his wife appears more likely to be where he intends to make his permanent home, his retirement home.
Mr. Kernan has indicated that he claims a property tax exemption on his Camino home.
Election Code 2031
If a person has more than one dwelling a rebuttable presumption exists the dwelling on which he or she claims the homeowner's property tax exemption is that person's domicile.
This presumption does not apply, however, if the address listed for DMV purposes is a different residence.
It appear that Mr. Kernan may not have maintained his DMV records in Alameda County as is indicated by receiving a summons to jury duty in El Dorado County.
California Revenue And Taxation Code RTC Section 218
(a) The homeowners' property tax exemption as authorized by subdivision (k) of Section 3 of Article XIII of the Constitution. shall be in the amount of seven thousand dollars .
(b) The exemption does not extend to property that is a vacation or secondary home of the owner or owners.
Only the principal residence can qualify for the homeowners exemption. If you are receiving the exemption for a home that no longer qualifies, it is your responsibility to notify your county assessor in a timely manner that your home is no longer eligible for the exemption. December 10th is the last day to terminate the homeowners' exemption without penalty; the assessor should receive notice of ineligibility by that date. (STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION)
Either the Camino address is Mr. Kernan's principal residence or the State Board of Equalization would say he is not eligible for the exemption on that property.
What address is use on Mr. Kernan's annual income tax return?
Existence of Substantial Question
of Fact or Law
1. April 2006 the Kernan's sold their home on Tanglewood, Pleasanton, Ca.
2. April 2006 the Kernan's subsequently purchased a home at 4515 Superior Dr, Camino, CA.
3. Mr.Kernan has stated that the permanent residence of his wife is the Camino Ca. residence.
4. Mr. Kernan's personal check #1083, written to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters for filing fees on Aug. 10th 2006, showed his home address as 4515 Superior Dr, Camino, CA. Re-appointed to Board November 2006.
5. Mr. Kernan was a partner with a Sacramento law firm. In fall of 2007 he opened his own private practice in an office in Camino. He maintains an office in Camino but only a home based business license for the Pleasanton apartment.
6. Mr. Kernan serves as a representative of Camino Ca. on the board for the El Dorado Community Foundation. Kernan's family cited his home as Camino Ca. in a public announcement.
7. Mr. Kernan has land phone lines serving his Camino law office as well as t he Camino residence. The home phone number listed for Pat Kernan on the district website was a cell number listed in his wife's name, it has been disconnected. Only cell numbers are listed for contact purposes for Pleasanton.
8. Mr. Kernan has been unable to attend meetings. School board agendas (5/1/08 and 6/9/08) state trustee Kernan will participate in board meeting by phone, (available by phone from 4515 Superior Drive, Camino, CA 95709,)
9. Mr. Kernan concedes that his property tax exemption is claimed on the Camino address.
Letter from Harold Freiman Attorney for PUSD dated May 14, 2008
1. Maintains a rental address in his name within the District.
2. Has indicated that his Pleasanton address appears on his driver's license.
3. Has further indicated that his vehicle is registered to his Pleasanton address. Mr. Kernan's satisfaction of the DMV registration requirements evinces his intent to remain in Pleasanton. While Mr. Kernan indicated that he claims a property tax exemption on his El Dorado property, his DMV listing in Pleasanton rebuts any presumption of residency in El Dorado. (Elec. Code Sec. 2031.)
4. Is registered to vote at his Pleasanton address, and has in fact voted in recent elections in Pleasanton. Mr. Kernan's status as a voter supports the contention that he both physically resides in Pleasanton and has the intent to remain here.
5. Was excused from jury duty in El Dorado County earlier this year on the basis that he is a resident of Pleasanton.
Contradiction of facts.
El Dorado Superior Court, how Jurors Are Summoned: The selection of jurors is governed by the California Code of Civil Procedure. Jurors' names are selected at random from lists of registered voters and persons who have valid California drivers' licenses or identification cards (El Dorado Superior Court website).
If as Mr. Kernan claims he has maintained his voter registration and drivers license in Alameda County it would not have been possible to get called to jury duty in El Dorado County.
The Ca. DMV cannot confirm that he has maintained his records in Pleasanton. A print out from the DMV from April 2006 until today, also voter registration records may clarify this question.
Letter from Harold Freiman continued
6. Has significant business affiliations with he Pleasanton area. Mr. Kernan has indicated that he has a business license issued by the City of Pleasanton to operate his law office.
7. Continues to practice law in Pleasanton, based out of his residence, with over 90% of his clients located in Pleasanton and the surrounding vicinity. Mr. Kernan indicated that his Pleasanton address is not on his business card or letterhead because a local Pleasanton ordinance prohibits advertising a residential office address. (Pleasanton City Mun. Code) The fact that Mr. Kernan's legal practice is focused in this area evinces an intent to remain a resident of Pleasanton.
8. Has a license to practice law registered with the California State Bar at the Pleasanton address.
9. Is a member of the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce.
There is no dispute that Mr. Kernan does business in Pleasanton.
10. Conducts 100% of his business banking with Pleasanton branches of financial institutions.
Mr. Kernan's personal check #1083, written to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters for filing fees on Aug. 10th 2006, showed his home address as 4515 Superior Dr, Camino, CA.
11. Continues to receive medical care in Pleasanton, including for a recent surgery on April 8, 2008. While he has been recuperating and receiving treatments for that surgery out of his El Dorado County property, Mr. Kernan indicates that this is because his rental unit in Pleasanton is a walk-up without any elevator, and his surgery hampers his access.
12. Prior to his surgery, Mr. Kernan indicated that he was spending as much as 70% of his time at the Pleasanton address, including both weekdays and weekends, and that more than half of his nights were spent at the Pleasanton address.
13. Belongs to a church in Pleasanton.

Your young fairy fan will have a blast furnishing this little bitty bedroom. Once she makes the bed, she can create a setting for it by using an open file folder placed on edge for walls and a colorful sheet of craft paper for a floor. She can even top a building block bedside table with a wooden bead flower vase.
You'll need:
- Empty mint tin
- Corrugated cardboard
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Glue dots
- Stickers
- Fabric scraps
- Gauze pad
1. Trace around the mint tin onto corrugated cardboard. Cut out the tracing.
2. Measure 1¼ inches from one of the short ends of the cardboard and mark a line. Cut the cardboard along the line so that you end up with two pieces: the larger one to serve as a headboard and the smaller one for a footboard.
3. Glue the headboard upright against one end of the tin and the footboard against the opposite end. Then have your child decorate them with stickers.
4. For a sheet and a bedspread, cut out matching rectangles (roughly 4¼- by 3¾-inches) from white fabric and colored or printed fabric. Stack the two pieces and turn over the top edge, using your fingertips to press the fold. Drape the sheet and spread over the mint tin and secure them in place with a few glue dots.
5. For the finishing touch, fold the gauze pad into a mini pillow, using glue dots to hold the shape if needed, and prop it against the headboard.

At the age of just 25, Ryan Villopoto is already considered one of the best riders in the world. He was named AMA World Supercross Champion in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and is the only rider in the history of the sport to ever clinch a title four races early, a feat he achieved in 2012. He is also an accomplished motocross rider, and earned his third consecutive AMA Motocross 250cc Championship by winning eight events and finishing on the podium in 11 of 12 starts in 2008. He won his fourth motocross title in 2011, when he also won the MXoN title with Team USA, and swept all three motos in the inaugural Monster Energy Cup to earn the cash reward of $1,000,000. Born in Poulsbo, Washington, Ryan's family has deep racing roots and he won an impressive 24 titles while competing for Kawasaki's Team Green, before turning professional in 2005. He competed in the final three rounds of his debut season, earning a best finish of second in the AMA Motocross 250cc at the series finale. He also won the 2005 Horizon Award. Ryan has suffered badly from injuries in his career so far, and, prior to the the 2009 supercross series, he had been unable to complete a full season on any circuit. He has needed incredible mental strength to come back, but he has done so on numerous occasions - the most memorable occasion being in 2011 when he won both SX and MX titles after breaking his leg and missing the entire 2010 motocross series.

Looks like I have an oil leak on the main shaft coming out of the transmission of my 1969 Cub 154. The oil gets on the mower belt and throws oil all over. Not a terrible leak. How difficult is it to fix it??? Looks like a challenge to me!!! I assume there is an oil seal in there somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

Obama still has The Witcher in his backlog, president tells Poles
By Dave Tach on Jun 03, 2014 06.03.14
President Obama may be a gaming novice, but during a visit to Poland he had kind words to say about developer CD Projekt Red's Witcher series of role-playing games, TVN 24 reports. During a 2011 trip to the country, Polish officials presented him with a copy of the role-playing game as a symbol of the country's economic development. "The last time I was here, Donald [Tusk, Poland's prime minister] gave me a gift, the video game developed here in Poland that's won fans the world over, The Witcher," Obama said. "I confess, I'm not very good at video games, but I've been told that it is a great example of Poland's place in the new global economy. And it's a tribute to the talents and work ethic of the Polish people as well as the wise stewardship of Polish leaders like prime minister...

How The Witcher 2 almost never happened
By Colin Campbell on Nov 07, 2013 11.07.13
The Witcher 2 is one of the most highly-rated big-budget role-playing games in recent years, but according to developer CD Projekt, the game might never have happened. In an interview with Eurogamer today, CD Projekt joint-CEO Marcin Iwińsk reveals how, in the aftermath of its success with the first Witcher game (2007), the company squandered millions of dollars on a doomed attempt to create a console version, stretched its resources with the launch of online distribution site GOG, and suffered from the severity of the global economic recession. "It was looking pretty grim back then. It was very edgy," he said. "We had probably a year where we were scraping money to make the payroll at the end of the month. The Polish company's biggest problem had been a partnership with Atari to...

The Witcher games can never be a sequel to the novels, says author
By Emily Gera on Nov 07, 2012 11.07.12
The Witcher series, based on the fantasy novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski, can never be considered an alternate version or sequel of the written work of which they are adapted from, Sapkowski told Eurogamer. According to Sapkowski, while developer CD Project Red drew from the literary works, the video game adaptations are in the end a "free adaptation" simply containing elements of the novels and are neither a prequel nor a sequel to the stories. "The game — with all due respect to it, but let's finally say it openly — is not an 'alternative version', nor a sequel. The game is a free adaptation containing elements of my work; an adaptation created by different authors," said Sapkowski. "Adaptations — although they can in a way relate to the story told in the books — can never...

'The Witcher 2' sold 1.7 million on PC and consoles
By Griffin McElroy on May 30, 2012 05.30.12
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has sold 1.7 million units across its original PC release and its "Enhanced Edition" console versions.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A laptop computer maker is issuing a recall of thousands of notebook PCs because they pose a potential burn hazard to consumers.
About 22,000 Acer Aspire-series Notebook Computers are being recalled. An internal microphone wire under the palm rest can short circuit and overheat.

A trial date is set for one of the six teenagers accused of beating a North College Hill man.
In total, six boys are charged with assaulting Pat Mahaney, 45, on Aug. 11, 2012
because they were "bored and looking for something to do."
On March 22, two of the suspects involved in the beating plead guilty. As part of a plea deal, both teens admitted to the felonious assault
charges in exchange for the prosecutor to drop the aggravated riot
charge. The plea deal also withdraws the serious youth offenders statute
from their record. Three other teens plead guilty earlier in March.
A trial for the sixth teenager will begin on June 24th.

You don't need to go to Portland either! Next time you are on S or N99, Baker or Adams right in Mac, try keeping a 2 second gap and you will never leave the curb. For every 20 feet of distance between you and the car ahead of you, someone with a 25 foot long vehicle will try to cut you off and / or squeeze in between!
What has gotten to be my 3 favorite "pox on you" are the slow and really slow that suddenly find that their vehicles have an extra 20 to 30 mph left in them when they come to the four lanes or passing lanes. Kind of fits hand in hand with people who can't grasp the concept of Failure to Yield Right of Way when Merging. Down at the south end of town those signs advising that the right lane ends, merge left................mean:
Go like heck and pass anyone already in the left lane where you should be, and never mind the fog line, its only there to let you know you still have a couple of feet of asphalt left. You can slow back down to 35 once you forced other people off the road so you could get ahead.
Then there was that blond haired gal in the maroon Toyota that was looking down at her cell phone (texting?), steering with her knees, who was very adept at using both lanes much better than any drunk driver. As she passes me on the right and as I am leaving the pavement onto the gravel shoulder to get away from her, I honk my horn only to receive a single finger salute in return.
Jeb, better just to relax, listen to the radio, drive defensively and keep your will up to date. If we don't we will die unhappy and way to young.

GOSHEN — Why choose one when you can have both?
That seemed to be the general consensus at the Goshen Redevelopment Commission Tuesday where members deliberated for nearly an hour over which of two proposals would be best for the upcoming River Race Redevelopment Project, a huge, two-parcel redevelopment project that includes areas along the millrace such as the old Northern Indiana Public Service Co. building and the old Hawks building.
Two proposals are currently on the table for the project: the more suburban Millrace Neighborhood proposal and the more urban Millrace Townhomes and Flats proposal. The task of the commission Tuesday was to decide which, if any, of the two proposals best fits with what they'd like to see happen with the River Race project.
Millrace Neighborhood
The "Millrace Neighborhood" is being championed by Goshen residents Mary Meyer and Richard Miller with the assistance of Alan Ediger, senior designer with Interface Architecture and Design of Goshen.
The concept draws primarily from the idea of "cohousing", a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhoods. The concept keeps the proposed homes smaller and has a design that meshes with the overall feel of the surrounding area and does not clash with nearby neighborhoods. Private homes in a cohousing environment contain all the features of conventional homes, but residents also have access to extensive common facilities such as open space, courtyards, walking paths and playgrounds.
Millrace Townhomes
Also up for consideration is the "Millrace Townhomes and Flats" proposal by David Matthews of South Bend-based Matthews LLC.
The Matthews proposal focuses more on a townhouse style of construction along the millrace. While the Matthews plan offers a number of different size and cost options for the proposed homes, the overall look of the plan utilizes a long, block-type construction with rows of three-story townhomes at an average height of about 44 feet. The plan also calls for little to no waterfront property and instead dedicates a majority of the waterfront to community green space.
During Tuesday's meeting, commission members struggled with the choice of whether to hire one group for the entire two parcel project, or to divide the project in two and have each group develop a parcel.
On one side, several commission members indicated that they liked the quality and urban aesthetics of the Mathews proposal, but felt that the Meyer/Miller project fit in better with the charm and feel of the more suburban surrounding neighborhood. Others on the commission said they felt the scope of the Mathews project was too large, and would like to see it scaled down a bit. Still others said they liked both proposals and would like to see both utilized.
With the commission unable to come up with a definitive decision, city attorney Larry Barkes asked both Matthews and Meyer whether they might be willing to take 30 days to sit down with city planning staff to try to work out a plan that would accommodate both visions, to which both replied in the affirmative.
Commission member Vince Turner echoed Barkes' suggestion, noting that he felt both plans had a place on the River Race property.
"One of the big wrestling matches for me, just from the aesthetic point of view, is that I believe your projects are where we're going in the future," Turner said with regard to Matthews' proposal. "But I also don't want to abandon our tradition and those folks who have a good, strong sense of the community that's already here. I believe there's a way to do both."
Goshen Community Development Director Mark Brinson agreed, adding that he and the city's planning staff would be more than willing to sit down with both groups to discuss the possibility of a collaborative effort on the River Race property.
"We are certainly willing, the staff, to host a planning charette, a sort of brain-storming session to come up with some scenarios that might allow both projects to move forward in a way that doesn't harm either one," Brinson said. "So we would be happy to make that effort."
In the end, the commission voted unanimously to table the proposal in order to give staff and the two potential developers a 30 day window in which to talk about the possibilities of both entities being involved in the project.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This climb starts 15� to the left and up from Mission Control. Follow the obvious hand crack up across a series of big ledges to the base of the orange block at the top of the pinnacle. Climb the orange face to the top, passing two bolts. The major portion of this climb is very easy trad, probably no harder than 5.4 which is too bad; were there less ledges and more verticality, this could be a really great crack. But this climb is all about the orange block, which offers some real fun and somewhat exposed movement over moderate ground. Skyline Pinnacle does not lend itself well to top-roping; better to lead and follow. There is no bolted anchor. To descend, scramble down to the east (away from the climb) and then follow the 3rd/4th class gully back to the trail/base of the rock.

First Half Marathon - DONE!
Congratulations to Emily, our newbie Barefoot runner, who completed her first half marathon last weekend. Read below about the strength she found from herself, her friends, family and complete strangers.
Running – A Rhythm in Strength of Mind and Heart
Today I accomplished a personal goal. I completed my first ever half marathon. I wasn't super nervous going into it, I didn't have a ton of time to train, but I had a friend by my side with each stride making sure I kept my pace, didn't over run in the beginning. It was an epic day of smiles, pain and gratitude. I accomplished my goal of a qualifying time for the NYC Marathon. This goal was met thanks to my friend, who knew me, my ways and gave me the rhythm I needed to succeed. I was exhausted and exhilarated at the same time.
But as we left the course, the final racer was crossing the finish. A woman, only a bit older than I, with a clean shaven head, and a beautiful stride to match her smile. She was the last to cross, but in my mind she was the first and only winner. Her head was a clear symbol of freedom from a disease that takes many. Her smile was symbolic of her strength to happily take on 13.1 miles with pride. Her stride was strong, steady and diligent. She inspired me, not to continue to run, but to run for the power and strength of mind and heart that is in each of us every day.
Somedays we get busy doing our thing and forget about what is important. She, that lady with a beautiful head, smile and stride, reminded me of what is important, what life is all about, and why each day should be lived and survived to the fullest. She reminded me that running is a sport of strength in mind and heart, that's what powers us through each stride. It gives me strength to help my father is in the midst of his battle. He called, coincidentally as this woman crossed the finish. I feel this was not a coincidence, but a sign of strength that I will continue to deliver to my amazingly strong father as he battles to become a survivor.

Loved this article, especially the last paragraph...very true and very inspiring. Congratulations on your first half marathon and all the best to your Dad!

Let's get pregnant. Endurance and Triumph with In-vitro Fertilisation - IVF is a book about the emotional highs and lows a couple faces when they choose IVF as a way to conceive a baby. Specifically, this is my story that tells of the heartache of not being able to conceive month after month, the humour of fumbling with wacky ovulation charts and herbal remedies and the utter desolation of trying to find the ever-elusive 'positive' sign on the pregnancy test when none exists.
When my husband and I finally realised we were getting nowhere, we decided to get help. To this end, we had to undergo many medical procedures that were both physically and emotionally exhausting.
As a reader, you will take this trip with me through the complete invasion that is IVF. You will experience my transformation, where embarrassing moments go 'out the window' and levity prevails as I begin to see the humour of certain procedures. And you will ride the rollercoaster ride with me with all its ups and downs, heart palpitating twists and turns, and nail biting crescendos as we finally hear those three fantastic words. "You are pregnant." Travel with me down this meandering path of pregnancy, complications, and unexpected outcomes. I promise, you will laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two. Perhaps, this book will also make a frightening process seem a little easier to handle, after all.

ATN Podcast: Our take on the clinchers
5 Comments · Posted by Pat Coleman in Around the Nation, General
Rudy Rudolph caught seven passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns for Christopher Newport in a USAC-clinching win at Ferrum.

If it seems like we have a lot of automatic bids already clinched, well, you're right. With 20 down and just five to go, an unprecedented number of bids have already been claimed.
That doesn't stop teams from potentially shooting themselves in the foot (Albion, Thomas More), however. There are 12 teams who clinched this week and many play in Week 11. Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman talk about each of those 12, plus a classic Mount Union/Baldwin-Wallace game and much more in this week's Around the Nation Podcast.

WESTTOWN Ś Top-seeded Owen J. Roberts got to work on its title defense in the District 1-Class AAA Team Duals Thursday night with a convincing 51-16 win over Pottstown.
All told, the Wildcats came away with a victory in eight of the 12 contested bouts, including five pins.
ōIt was a good first step in a journey to defend,ö said Wildcats head coach Steve DeRafelo. ōPottstown has a good, hungry young team, and I was a little concerned the kids might overlook them. But they didnÆt. They came out and wrestled hard.ö
Sixteen-seeded Pottstown earned a second-round spot against OJR by knocking off No. 17 Interboro, 37-24, earlier in the opening round.
Adam Moser got things going with a 10-3 win over Jasheel Brown at 145 to stake Owen J. Roberts to a 3-0 lead.
At 152, Peter Fratantoni worked a second period tilt against the TrojansÆ Sebastain Shiffler for three back points and a 3-0 lead headed into the third. Shiffler cut the lead to 3-2, but as time wound down to just under 30 seconds to go, Fratantoni locked up a cross-face cradle, turned Shiffler, and got the pin call with 15 seconds to spare.
ōIÆd been trying to work that cradle for the whole match,ö said Fratantoni. ōWhen I finally hooked it up, I knew I was going to get the pin. I knew I had to win the match, but getting some bonus points was great.ö
ōPeter is tough on top,ösaid DeRafelo. ōHeÆs got the ability to pin people, so if we can keep him in matches and get him on top heÆs in good position to get the pin.ö
Those bonus points, at least at that early stage of the match, looked even bigger when Pottstown took the next two bouts,with Darien Hain edging Dallas Struss, 8-5 at 160, and Jordan Eckstrom scoring a late takedown for a 5-4 win over Kevin Kerwin.
Evan Boaman put OJR back on the right track with a 16-second pin, then Gordan Bolig collected a forfeit at 195 to make it 21-6. Nick DÆAngelo followed with a 56-second pin at 220, and Brad Trego continued the onslaught with a 37-second pin at 285.
At 106, Aston White broke a scorless tie with a takedown out of a scramble at the buzzer in the first period, then added another takedown, an escape and a stall call for a 6-0 win over Logan Pennypacker. After jumping out 8-0 lead in the first, 113-pound Derek Gulotta put the match away with a pin in 3:06.
PottstownÆs Bubba Gephart completed a come-from-behind win at 120, locking up a nearside cradle for the pin in 5:38.and Bryant Wise followed with a 9-1 major for the Trojans at 126.
ōWe had a couple of nice wins,ö said Pottstown coach Brad Bechtel. ōJordan (Eckstrom) had a nice win, and Gephart getting the pin was great.
ōBut OJR is a tough, tough, team, and they just keep coming at you. We wrestled really well against Interboro, and weÆll just build on that and hopefully wrestle Owen J a bit tougher when we see them again next week.ö
Owen J. Roberts closed out the dual with back-to-back wins, with Dominick Petrucelli getting a pin at 132 and Demeti DÆOrsaneo picking up a decision at 138.
ōWeÆve got some things to work on and clean up a bit,ö said Petrucelli. ōBut all in all, I thought we wrestled pretty well as a team tonight, and I like our chances to defend our title.ö
Earlier Thursday night, the Trojans jumped out quickly against Interboro, getting wins from Patrick Bohn (138) Jasheel Brown (145), Sebastian Shiffler (152), Darian Hain (160) and Jordan Eckstrom (170) in the first four bouts of the night, including tech falls from Bohn and Hain and a second-period fall from Eckstrom. Also winning matches for Pottstown were Josh Slody (220), Logan Pennypacker (106), Robbie McCoy (113), and Bryant Wise (132).

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Some roads will be closed in Lenawee County over the next few days, but not for construction. The fourth installment of the Transformers movie franchise will be filmed in Fairfield Township.
Traffic on a busy stretch of M-52 will be replaced by Autobots and Decepticons.
"It will be exciting to see some high-dollar pyrotechnics before the Fourth of July on somebody else's dime," said Jim Lawrence, whose property will be filmed on.
Director Michael Bay is bringing his wildly popular, action and explosion-packed series to southeast Michigan.
The Michigan Film Office said the state approved a $20 million incentive to film there.
"The State of Michigan and the local economy is getting a little shot in the arm," Lawrence said. "And it's a different venue for the kind of movie. Most of my buddies thought it was pretty cool."
From June 25 until 9 a.m. on June 29, M-52 will be closed from Mulberry to Weston. The nearby wheat fields will be the backdrop for a crash scene.
Lawrence was approached by Paramount Pictures because his land is in that 2-mile stretch.
"I thought it was a prank call," he said. "She had a contract for trespass rights and they're going to blow stuff up and roll cars and wanted to know if it was okay to do it in my yard."
Lawrence admits he's not much of a Transformers fan, but when this one comes out in 2014, he says he might have to watch.
"I'll probably watch this one just to see what it looks like," he said. "Hopefully they blow up the house, and I get paid for that. We'll see."

A garbage truck picks up trash in one neighborhood but also leaves something --undesirable-- behind. Now…one resident is reaching out to News 13 for help. Details in this Problem Solver.
This is not a brand new problem. Matter of fact, it is the same situation we looked at years ago but involving a different company.
It was back in April of 2010 when Panama City Beach resident Joe Hajik called on News 13 to help resolve an issue in the Summer Breeze neighborhood. At that time Hajik told us, "EWS had a truck that would leak hydraulic fluid when they compressed the trash. Noticed hydraulic leakage from trucks picking up our home trash...basically, the problem escalated."
News 13 contacted The company doing the trash pickup at the time, Emerald Waste Services, about the leak problem. They cleaned it up and fixed the truck.
That was then. But, recent pictures sent to us by Joe Hajik show that the fluid leak problem was coming back. Waste Pro is now the company that acquired EWS. Hajik described what he saw last week, "I counted nine spill areas...ranging from six foot in diameter across commonly...there is another dozen smaller ones. I know the people running the truck understood it was leaking and spraying, but they continued on doing the route."
Hajik says some of the leaks were heavy and told us, "I have had one location where there was a puddle of ten weight hydraulic fluid just about an eighth of an inch thick...underneath. People would come home and park over it not realizing what it was."
Last week, News 13 took these concerns directly to the Waste Pro corporate office in Orlando. After checking the issue, Chief Marketing Officer Ron Pecora issued this response in part, "What we determined was that a one of our trucks was in fact leaking liquid from the hopper where the waste goes and is compressed and a seal on the back of the truck had failed. That evening, we replaced the seal on the truck. We appreciate from News 13 and from any resident letting us know when anything unusual is going on with our trucks. And I appreciate the approach News 13 took by bringing it to our attention."
Ron Pecora says work has been done to help clean up the leaks on Summer Breeze Road. He says this particular problem happens from time to time, but Waste Pro is quick to respond and clean up fluid leaks when they are notified by the public. The company apologizes to residents for any inconvenience.
And this note to the story...Waste Pro recently added four new automated waste trucks to the Panama City area fleet…an investment of one -point- two million dollars.

I'm creating a stopwatch-like application where it is quite important that the running clock is always visible, unfortunately the Symbian screensaver, or autolock/whatever, prevents the users from seeing the clock when the device has been inactive (when the screen is not touched).
I'm looking for a way to prevent the screensaver (only when the clock is active). I have no experience in Qt whatsoever (only QML and J2ME), so QML is preffered. I have found a way to do it in Qt, but as stated before I have no clue how to intergrate that in my Qt Quick application.
Thanks in advance!

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith says he's been fined $21,000 by the league for kicking Miami guard Richie Incognito during last week's win over the Dolphins.
Smith missed two practices this week with a sore right ankle. He says he was only retaliating when Incognito tried to twist his ankle after the whistle.
"If you're going strictly by the rule book, me kicking him was breaking the rules," Smith said Friday. "But I want them (the NFL) to look at why I was kicking him, trying to get him off of my ankle. You see on the film, the moment my ankle came free, I stopped. I was just trying to get my ankle free from him mauling it."
Incognito said he was innocent of wrongdoing and argued videotape supported his contention. The NFL agreed: He wasn't fined.
"The eye in the sky doesn't lie," Incognito said Thursday.
Dolphins centre Mike Pouncey was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness.
Incognito, who has carried what he says is an outdated reputation as a dirty player, said the complaint about twisting Smith's ankle stemmed from a play where the Dolphins fumbled.
The Texans (1-0) play at Jacksonville (0-1) on Sunday. Smith practiced on Friday and coach Gary Kubiak expects him to play against the Jaguars.
Smith says he plans to appeal.
"It's very disappointing, whenever you lose money," said Smith, who had a career-high 6 1/2 sacks last year. "Nobody wants to lose money, especially $21,000. That could be going to my daughter or son's trust fund, or something. That's a pretty penny, and nobody would like to get (fined) that kind of money, especially when I felt like I was defending myself."
Smith was fined $7,500 last season for pulling off Baltimore guard Andre Gurode's helmet in a game against the Ravens.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Andre Johnson is not a mortal and not even a concussion can keep him off the field on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
After Bernard Pollard concussed him in the Texans' win over the Titans yesterday, how is Andre Johnson doing? Will he play on Sunday in Baltimore?
Gary Kubiak tosses out a bit of info about when Andre Johnson might return to practice.
Two weeks after it happened, we learn that Andre Johnson had his knee scoped. A non-issue, or something to worry about for Texans fans?
Will Andre Johnson play on Thursday against the Colts? You know the answer to that question.
After a rare Monday night practice thanks to the short week, Gary Kubiak speaks about the loss to the Panthers and Thursday's game in Indianapolis.
Wade Phillips had surgery today, so we know he'll be out for Sunday's game. What about Andre Johnson and Joel Dreessen?
An update on Andre Johnson's status for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
"Andre, first off ya'll know it is the other leg. It is a mild hamstring, so we're very fortunate. I'll tell you today he's day-to-day. I probably can give you a better answer once we give him a couple days here and get to Wednesday, but we do expect him back and hopefully sooner than later. To answer today, we feel very fortunate."-Gary Kubiak, on Andre Johnson's status after the win over Atlanta
Don't forget about 'Dre. Andre Johnson's return to action should delight the Texans, their fans, and his fantasy football owners.

I'm all for anyone who could pull off a Quentin Tarantino style of writing. Hilarious yet gritty like seriousness. It would be nice if it continues to be a collaberative effort of writers though. If Volition is still using Drew Holmes, they better have got somebody to replace him as lead because I put the blame on him just because of his rank. Alot of those plot holes and childish dialogue needs to go out the window.

Peer review FTW! This was the issue with ME3 allowing Casey Hudson and Mac Waters complete the ending on their own without any peer review. Look at the mess that made. Volition should not do the same and put a team together that actually knows the story and will focus on improving it and completing these damn plot holes.
I could write a better story than whoever wrote SR3 and I also know how to save SR4.
Story telling wise, SR really needs to get its act togetherI yell personally. SR2 was amazing despite minor flaws. (like the General's lack of characterization and involvement) but it actually had an entertaining feel. They need to make the story more coherent and feature characters and antagonists relevent to the saints and actually give them an actual motive. Im cool for the saints being over the top but Im starting to forget why they're even doing this and questioning how the government lets them just get away with it.

Story telling wise, SR really needs to get its act together
Could not agree with more. Unfortunately, they are not releasing the story writing team (who they are) for fan peer review comparable to other writings. Which is rather discouraging for me. I still think they had a different team between 2 to 3. But, no confirmation of that. I am basing that opinion on the body of work itself.
So Deadly, first off, good morning.
Any way we get an idea of the writers for SR4? I know it is a long shot in getting an answer, but, does not hurt to ask.
SRTT had a story?
Im legit not gonna get SR4 if its just a sequel to SRTT with a stupid "over-the-top" everything.
Really, Im embarrassed that I own this game. I feel like if someone finds out that I have this game irl, I would have to explain that it isnt what I hoped for, mostly because its a game for middle schoolers. I'm probably just gonna sell it back to gamestop in the coming weeks if they dont release a competative multiplayer morde, which I'm fairly certain they wont for SRTT, because its too late, they dont listen to their fans, and SR4 is gonna be released some time next year so they are probably already focusing their attention on that.
@solareclipse91, DUBSTEPPenguin: ngl, I'll probably just borrow it from a friend or something if it's just an SRTT sequel. Like, I might (emphasis on might) want to play it, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to spend money on it.

Freshmen shine in first scrimmage
If one of the key points of a first scrimmage is to take a long look at the new players, Jacksonville University made that point Saturday at Fleming Island High School.
The Dolphins got their first glimpse at their incoming freshmen and what they learned was there's some talent on its way up.
One of the newcomers, quarterback Trevius Folston of Cocoa Beach, Fla., who redshirted last season, unofficially completed 7 of 12 passes for 104 yards and three touchdowns and freshman running back Keith Dawson of Plant City, Fla., ran for an unofficial 136 yards and two touchdowns in the offense vs. defense two-hour simulation in the sizzling heat.
"It was hot out here and our guys fought through it,'' coach Kerwin Bell said. "The defense set the tone early and the offense picked it up after that and got going. The young quarterbacks got some good work in so I feel pretty pleased with our first scrimmage.''
Folston's longest play was a 25-yard strike to senior wide receiver Josh Philpart, who ended the day unofficially with three catches for 70 yards. First team quarterback Josh McGregor was 3-for-12 in limited action and another freshman, Kade Bell, was 5 of 8 for 85 yards and a score.
"I think I did pretty well,'' Folston said. "There are some things I can work on to get better but, overall, I'm pretty proud of myself.''
Dawson had a long run of 45 yards and scored on carries of 7 and 4 yards.
"It feels good to finally be out there and do the things I can do,'' Dawson said. "I want to give a heads up to the linemen.'' Dawson said he was a bit surprised at his success.
"A little bit, but it's expected of me,'' he said. "Coach wanted me to do exactly what I did out here and that's what I've got to bring every day.''
Senior running back J.J. Laster, of Graceville, Fla., had 65 yards on five carries as he, too, saw limited action.
"It didn't feel like 65 yards,'' Laster said. "It went by fast. The plan was to get two, three or four series and I got two series. I did what I had to do; work with the linemen and the quarterbacks, we got everything rolling.''
The only damper on the day was that the Dolphins committed seven fumbles, losing four and safety Mike Dorminey had an interception.
"It seems like every first scrimmage we turn the ball over, either interceptions or fumbles,'' Bell said. "Then we talk to the guys and they make a concerted effort not to do that. That's why we were so good last year. We only turned it over 15 times last years. We have five keys to victory and one of them is turnover margin and last year we were plus 14, second in the nation. We've got to protect the ball. Like I told them out there, if you can't protect the ball, you won't be playing.''
Asked to grade the scrimmage Bell gave it a C+.
"That's probably the best grade I've given a first scrimmage in a long time,'' he said. "We had a lot of freshman and a lot of them missed assignments and they'll see it for the first time, it's the first time live for them. I thought our first unie really got going and defensively, we stared out great and ended great.''
Next week's scrimmage, originally scheduled for Bishop Kenny High School, will be at The Bolles School Aug. 20 at 6 p.m.

Kristin Scott Thomas Is Done With Films; Finds 'Trust' in the Theatre
Kristin Scott Thomas is done with films. After starring in 65 features over the course of 30 years, the actress told the Guardian that she reached her breaking point at some point last September.
"I just suddenly thought, I cannot cope with another film," Thomas said. "I realized I've done the things I know how to do so many times in different languages, and I just suddenly thought, I can't do it any more. I'm bored by it. So I'm stopping."
Nor will she be appearing on television: "I can't do miniseries. Once you've got the characters, once you know who they are, they're going to repeat themselves, aren't they, for the next five years? It just goes on and on and on," Thomas said. "I get terribly bored. Series bore me."
Off-screen and onstage seems to be the way Thomas is headed. She played the title role in BERENICE in France in 2001 and loved it. "I suddenly felt independent," she said. "You could walk on stage and you could stand on your head if you really wanted to. No one's going to say stop, don't do that, that's a ridiculous idea. There's this feeling of independence and trust - I could give myself permission to play things in a certain way and see if they worked or they didn't. I could trust myself."
She continued: "Basically, when you are acting in a film, you're giving the director the raw material to make the film. But when you're acting on stage, that's it. And that's when you discover that you can really do it. It's this word 'trust' that keeps coming to me. It's not a question of whether one person is conning you into thinking you can do it, saying, 'Oh, it was beautiful.' On stage, if it works, it works."
Since BERENICE, Thomas has starred in the West End in five plays -- Anton Chekhov's THREE SISTERS in 2003, AS YOU DESIRE ME in 2005, Chekhov's THE SEAGULL in 2008, Harold Pinter's BETRAYAL in 2011 and Pinter's OLD TIMES in 2013. She won an Olivier Award for best actress for her performance in The Seagull.
Her latest film, The Invisible Woman, is an adaptation of Claire Tomalin's biography on Charles Dickens' secret mistress, the 18-year-old actress Nelly Ternan. Thomas plays Ternan's widowed mother, Catherine.
"Well, I don't want to go and see a film about young people," Thomas explained to the Guardian. "I'm just not remotely interested. When I go to the movies, I'd rather watch people who've lived, who have gone through the mill, who've had their heart broken a million times and are still looking for love. That's what's interesting to me."
Thomas' upcoming films include Suite francaise, My Old Lady and The Kitchen Boy. Among her many credits are Before the Winter Chill, Bel Ami, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Sarah's Key, Leaving, Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Other Boleyn Girl, Gosford Park, The Horse Whisperer, The English Patient, Mission: Impossible, Richard III, the TV mini-series Body & Soul and many more.
