A Lee County native is celebrating a top 10 finish in the Miss America Pageant. Miss Georgia Carly Mathis had a great showing Sunday night. Mathis sang On my Own during the talent portion of Sunday night's competition.
Her grandparents, Hilton and Chris Gillespie, say they spoke with her just before the competition started, and said a quick prayer for her.
During the competition, the Gillespies say they got lots of positive comments on their facebook page from people across the country who support Carly.
"Just how very proud we are of her and how thankful we are that she had good support," says Chris Gillespie.
"I go to the YMCA three times a week and all the people at the YMCA this morning were talking how proud they were that she went so far," says Hilton Gillespie.
They say Carly plans to go to law school, and wants to become a CNN legal analyst.

Extreme Couponing

Did you know that, thanks to coupons, you can not only get items for free, but you can sometimes even get money given to you just for taking a product out of the store? Using these simple tips, you'll be able to slash your grocery budget and put money back in your pocket.
The key to couponing is to be a strategic shopper. First, know how your store's savings programs work. This means you should pay attention to things like store policies in regards to doubling coupons, if they take competitor's coupons, if you can combine store and retailer coupons and when sales start and end. To maximize your savings, take the time to match up the coupons you have with the items that are on sale. For those who are really dedicated, make a spreadsheet of items you have coupons for and match them up to that week's sales.
You'll also need to know where to get the best coupons. In addition to newspaper inserts, there are many free websites that offer printable coupons, and there are coupon-clipping services, which, for a nominal fee, will clip and mail coupons to your home. However, if you prefer the newspaper, make sure to get a subscription rather than buy it each week from your local newsstand or convenience store. According to myfrugaladventures.com, you'll actually save quite a bit by doing so. While a typical Sunday paper can run anywhere from $1.50 to $5.00 at the newsstand, a subscription only costs around $20 a year or 38 cents per week.
As you collect your coupons, it is smart to keep a filing system so they are easy to find – cereal in one section, snacks in another, frozen in another – whatever works best for you. A small, expandable bill paying or check storage folder works well, or you can also buy coupon-specific organizers with pre-made labels. Organizers keep coupons easy to find when you are getting ready to shop, while you shop and when you are ready to check out.
Jessika E. Toothman, a staff writer for www.howstuffworks.com, suggests that you always keep the store's coupon policy on-hand while at the register. That way, if the cashier insists that you can't combine manufacturer and store coupons, you'll have the proof that you, in fact, can. When disagreements arise, Toothman advises, "Always remain respectful and polite. You might find cashiers and even managers who are simply unfamiliar with their store's coupon policy, and by being friendly and helpful about it, you're much more likely to achieve positive results."
Why not make couponing a family affair? It's a great way to teach your kids about budgeting and finance, all while saving you money at the checkout line. Allow younger kids to clip coupons and match up sales; for older kids, give them a crack at developing a budget. If you have the means, take the amount that you save each week at the grocery store and place it in a college fund.

Winnipeg's new NHL team is this much closer to having a new head coach, but it means that they're current head coach won't be making the move. Craig Ramsay will be sticking around in Atlanta when the Mayflower vans move out, as the new owners told him on Monday that he's out of the running for the new head coaching job in Winnipeg.
It's understandable: presumably, the new ownership wants to put their own guy in charge. It's common in every business, not just hockey, and it also looks like their guy will be either Chicago Blackhawks assistant Mike Haviland or former Manitoba Moose head coach Claude Noel.
Noel is obviously familiar with Winnipeg and True North Sports, having worked with them for a year as head coach of the Moose. He's only coached a handful of games in the NHL with Columbus in an interim head position, spending most of his career in the ECHL and AHL. He's definitely paid his dues, though. Noel has been in coaching since 1990, and he won a Calder Cup in 2004 with Milwaukee.
Haviland got his start in the ECHL, coaching the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies and Trenton Titans each to Kelly Cup championships. He jumped to the AHL and coached in the Chicago system for three seasons before being promoted to the NHL in 2008 as an assistant with the Blackhawks under Joel Quenneville. Obviously, he won a Stanley Cup in 2010 with the Hawks.

"Chris Brown: The Interview" airs this Friday at 6 pm on MTV. Should be interesting (by which I mean upsetting and angering) to hear some more of his lame ass excuses. To think that teenage girls were actually blaming Rihanna for that whole incident makes me seriously sick. I've talked about the Chris Brown / Rihanna dating abuse before, when the reports first came out…at the very least this interview will give us some more details.

Cameron: We must wait for Leveson report
David Cameron refused to be drawn on calls from the Hacked Off campaign to establish an independent press regulator.
"We must wait for Lord Justice Leveson's report, I don't want to pre-judge," Cameron told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show on Sunday.
"We do need to address the situation, the status quo is not acceptable. We've got to have a regulatory system that works for ordinary people, but we have to wait."

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A man died in a snowmobile crash Sunday on Mount Adams.
The Yakima County sheriff's office says a 35-year-old from the Goldendale area was snowmobiling with a group of friends. He went off a 10-foot snow bank and landed on rocks.
The man was missing for an hour before he was found. He could not be revived.

Home My Place DIY, Hints and Advice Design Rooms Laundries
When redesigning your laundry, make it cater to sudden bursts of activity and have an eye to storage solutions to take the pressure off other rooms.
Service zone
Whether it commands its own room or is a recessed part of the bathroom, the modern laundry is one of those highly functional service zones of the house. It has a job to do - several jobs, in fact. It should be designed to meet sudden bursts of activity and, when not in use, should be a useful storage place that takes some of the pressure off the requirements of other rooms.
If you're remodeling your laundry, look to combine durability, functionality and efficiency with a concern for human and environment health. This requires careful decisions about appliances, flooring, cabinets, features and an optimal use of space.
When planning the space allow for cabinets, including a tall unit for mops, cleaning supplies, and possibly an ironing board. Don't be afraid to use the walls to maximize storage by hanging specific-use items. Cabinets and pullouts can be reserved for laundry supplies.
If your laundry is adjacent to the kitchen it can become a very convenient place to store seldom used tableware and utensils. To further save kitchen space, think about installing your freezer here. You can also provide open shelving or upper cabinets for storage of linens, blankets and towels.
This may be the time for you to evaluate how much washing you're doing these days. If you're not using the most efficient machines for your needs, new ones may actually save you money.
When buying new machines, check the design features and energy efficiency ratings. If you need to, now may be the time to switch the door on the washing machine or dryer to open the other way if this makes it easier to load and unload.
Try to maintain the current arrangement of your laundry plumbing because it will cost a lot of money to move water pipes and drainage. You will also need to factor in any costs associated with sealing wet areas against water.
However, you can keep costs down by:
purchasing second hand materials,
sourcing items with minor flaws (like factory second tiles);
buying good quality assembled units (rather than customised cabinetry); and
using movable storage bins (not for detergents or other materials potentially
dangerous to children) rather than fixed under-bench cupboards.
Child safety
The laundry concentrates hot water, electricity, toxic cleaning agents and potentially slippery surfaces which can be highly dangerous to anyone, particularly young children. If you have children in the house, please design your laundry to take into account these precautions:
keep nappy buckets closed and up high where toddlers can't get to them;
keep detergents and poisonous substances in a locked cupboard;
don't leave buckets of water on the floor;
have all power switches high on the wall; and
consider installing a child-proof gate to prevent access to the area.
Helpful details
Since your laundry is all about smart layout and how you keep things when not in use, here are some ideas that may help:
Keep stain removers, sponges, and scrubbers in containers on a shelf or in a
cabinet above your washing machine. Transfer detergents into smaller, dishwasher-safe containers that are easier to handle.
Mount your ironing board on a wall or on the back of a door.
Easily cleaned and water resistant benchtops for treating and folding clothes are very useful. If you don't have a sink, set a large bowl nearby for soaking items.
Try a lost-and-found bin for all those bits and pieces found in pockets or at the bottom of the dryer, such as keys, buttons and loose change. And this where
those single socks can wait before they are re-united with their partners.

Backpacker Magazine – May 2001
We know the strength that courses through flesh and bone when standing at a trailhead, ready to set out and practice our primitive art.
It was our first night out in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, a rugged, dense-brush patch of southwestern Oregon that's spitting distance from the Pacific. Earl, who'd struggled all day with his over-stuffed, leather-strap rucksack, noticed with some disgust the purple stains and residue on my new boots, the result of stepping in too much berry-laden bruin sign on the narrow trail.
"Why do you do this?" he asked while rubbing his shoulders, his tone steeped in bewilderment. "This" was backpacking, which I'd persuaded him to try-just once, as it turned out. As we bedded down under the watchful eye of an owl, I offered the usual and obvious reasons: to get away and relax, to breathe clean, fresh air, to see wildlife and sunrises and sunsets, to fine-tune my backwoods skills. But the same can be said for dayhikers, hunters, fisherpersons, even birdwatchers and picnickers. Why do we backpack? Who are we who turn our backs on societal niceties and trudge off down earthen paths strewn with rocks and roots and mud and risk?
I've yet to find a definitive answer, but the search has yielded some interesting clues. Dave Foreman, for instance, author, former Wilderness Society staffer, hard-core environmentalist, and someone who's dedicated his life to understanding and preserving wildlands, says we're a "community linked by a sense of belonging not familiar to all." Rather than basing our existence solely around technology, we instead occasionally "turn to craft and to being"-backwoods skills and experiencing the wilds, in other words.
"We recognize we are part of the natural ecosystem in which we dwell, even if only temporarily," he continues. We enjoy "going back to the woods and a primitive state of mind. We seek old, traditional ways of organizing ourselves and our lives, turning away from hierarchy to tribalism."
We are a tribe.
Webster's defines "tribe" as "a group of persons having a common character, occupation, or interest." Although in our case, it's better to modify the definition by saying we're uncommon characters whose common interest is our passion for places others consider no-man's-land (see "No-Man's-Land," May 2001).
"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot," naturalist Aldo Leopold noted. We cannot, so we venture deep into the wilderness"sanctuaries for the primitive arts of wilderness travel, especially canoeing and packing," Leopold offered in his Sand County Almanac. "I suppose some will wish to debate whether it is important to keep these primitive arts alive. I shall not debate it. Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old."
We know it. We know the strength that courses through flesh and bone when standing at a trailhead, ready to set out and practice our primitive art. The anticipation and the wonderment about what's around the bend still sends shudders down my spine.

Department of Mathematics
Dr. Deane E. Arganbright, Chair
424 Andy Holt Humanities Building
(901) 881-7360
Deane E. Arganbright, Bill R. Austin, N. Susan Boren, Chris Caldwell, Victor Cates, Tom Eskew, Judith Gathers, J. Michael Jackson, Louis Kolitsch, Stephanie Kolitsch, Daryl Kreiling, Brenda Lackey, A. Nanthakumar, David Ray, Theresa Rushing, John Schommer
The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is to provide a high-quality program that enables students throughout the university to examine and appreciate the principal concepts of mathematics and statistics and to utilize them effectively in applications. The program incorporates modeling, real-world data, classical and contemporary methods, and modern technology. The department offers majors and minors that are designed to prepare students for graduate study or for entering a profession. The curriculum also provides service courses to programs in all colleges. The department maintains a vital program of research and makes outreach courses available to the citizens of the region.
Expected Outcomes
The program of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Admission Requirements
Mathematics placement recommendations for entering students will be based on their mathematics placement examination
results, their mathematics ACT score, and their high school record. All students are encouraged to take the placement
exam before enrolling in their first mathematics course.
Students who have a deficiency in algebra or geometry must remove the deficiency by taking the appropriate course(s) chosen from Mathematics 070, 080, 090.
Students, particularly in science, who need more than one year of mathematics should plan to take Mathematics 251-252. If a student has not completed high school trigonometry, he/she should take Mathematics 185 before enrolling in Mathematics 251.
As the first state university in Tennessee to allow Internet access to all students and faculty from residence
halls, apartments, and offices, UT Martin's computer facilities rank among some of the best in the southeast if
not the nation. Numerous student labs provide access to a variety of personal computers (Windows and MacOS). Some
of the labs are open 24 hours. All computers in the university labs provide for Internet access. Student labs
in the Humanities Building are open 24 hours per day and include Maple and Minitab software for mathematics and
statistics students.
The department operates a people-oriented mathematics laboratory. Tutorial assistance is provided for students in freshman and sophomore-level mathematics courses. Several self-paced courses are offered through the laboratory. Students in mathematics intensive majors are employed as tutors in the mathematics laboratory.
Scholarships and Awards
The Arthur L. and Nelle L. Sparks Mathematics Scholarships are awarded to students majoring in mathematics who have demonstrated successful academic performance. Selection is made by the UT Martin Scholarship Committee. The Louise Knifley Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a junior or senior mathematics major with appropriate mathematics courses and grade point average. The faculty selects the recipient. In addition to the Knifley scholarship, the Mathematics Award is given to the outstanding senior in mathematics as selected by the faculty.
Student Organizations
The department supports a student mathematics organization that provides opportunities for extra-curricular mathematical activities and interaction with the faculty in an informal setting. The department encourages student membership in the Mathematical Association of America, a national organization of mathematicians. The department also encourages student research, student presentations, and student attendance at regional mathematics conferences.
Cooperative Educations Program
The Cooperative Education Program in Mathematics offers the participant an opportunity to gain valuable professional experience while preparing for a career or for further study in graduate school. In addition, the participant earns money to help finance college expenses. After successful completion of the freshman year, qualified students admitted to the program alternate semesters at the university. Application for admission should be made during the fall semester of the freshman year. Further information is available from Employment Information Services, UT Martin (731) 881-7740.
Mathematics Major (6910-BA, 6910-BS)
The department offers the mathematics major for both the Bachelor of Arts (6910-BA) and the Bachelor of Science
(6910-BS) degrees. Mathematics majors must satisfy the general education requirements for the appropriate degree
and are advised to select physics as one of the laboratory sciences. If a student is not prepared to enter calculus
as the first mathematics course, the elective hours can be used to take college algebra and/or pre-calculus. The
completion of a minor or the professional-education courses necessary for professional licensure are required for
both the B.A. and the B.S.
Double majors: Mathematics/Computer Science 340 can only be allowed in the requirements for a mathematics major or computer science major but not both. Either Mathematics 241 or Computer Science 301 may be used to satisfy the requirements for a discrete course since credit is not given for both.
One of the goals of the mathematics major is to prepare students for mathematical careers in business, government, education, or industry. To meet the various professional needs of the mathematics major, different options are available within the major.
Option I: Statistics/Actuarial Science
Students seeking a career in statistics or actuarial science are advised to take Mathematics 340, 365, 451, 455, 461, 462, 465, 481. These students must also include Mathematics 210 in their degree programs.
Option II: Graduate Study

Jay Cutler should have put up big numbers against the Bills defense, but he didn't do that. Cutler only completed 17 0f 30 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns, but he made some big plays on his own.
Cutler is known as one of the better quarterbacks out of the pocket, but the offensive line hasn't let him get out of the pocket very much this season. Against the Bills he was pressured 15 times, he turned nine of those plays into 121 yards of offense.
Seeing him scramble and make throws on the run or run on his own was refreshing for any Bears fan. Cutler completed two huge passes to Earl Bennett and Greg Olsen, both coming on third-and-10. On five scramble attempts by Cutler, he ran for 39 yards.
Expect Cutler to get out of the pocket more if the offensive line allows him to. He will be pressured by a very good Vikings defense come Sunday. The offensive line seemed much improved with RG Roberto Garza back in the lineup.
Cutler will be called upon to make more plays like he did against the Bills on Sunday. The more scrambles out of the pocket by Cutler the more big plays he will likely make. The passing game is improving just as well as the running game, but if Jay Cutler can improve his game the offense as a whole will start to excel.
Cutler will have big test against the Vikings on Sunday.

The City of Beaumont could one day have a stretch of roadway named after a longtime baseball coach. City council members next week will hold a workshop to discuss changing the name of Florida Avenue between University and MLK Parkway in honor of Lamar University Baseball Coach Jim Gilligan.
Councilman W.L. Pate tells 12 News several weeks ago a number of citizens approached him asking how to request such a change. Councilman Pate says he spoke with University President Jimmy Simmons about the idea and Simmons agreed that the effort would be an excellent way to recognize Gilligan for the work he has done to promote Lamar and its baseball team.
"As someone who has considered Jim Gilligan a good friend since we were both students at Lamar in the 60s, I am proud of the things he has done to elevate the baseball program to the point of national recognition," said Pate.
"I am happy he has so many supporters that want to recognize him for what he ahs done for the university and the community"
City council will discuss the possible name change at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

On Saturday, Oct. 8, Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill which made it legal for children of parents who are in the country illegally to apply for financial aid and scholarships at public universities and community colleges.
The second part of this act, called the DREAM Act, or the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, was passed in the House of Representatives on Oct. 5, by a 216 to 198 vote.
These students will receive funding only after legal residents have applied and been granted their allotted amount, and only if they reach certain qualifications. The qualifications require that the recipient has graduated from a California high school, and they must have attended school in the state for at least three of their high school years. They must also show that they are in the process of becoming legal residents of California.
"I love it because when your parents come here, you don't ask for it, so it's not fair if you're dragged here for a better life and you and your parents don't have papers," senior Virginia Rodriguez said. "I think it's great that they can do what they came here to do and go to college and get funded for it like everybody else and, essentially, have a better life because of it."
According to the LA Times, the Democratic congressional leaders chose to push forward with the DREAM Act, a bipartisan bill, because "Even some conservatives believe that the young people who would benefit were brought here illegally by others through no fault of their own and should not have to suffer for it."
Illegal immigrants who can take advantage of this new bill are still banned from working in the state.
"In a time with skyrocketing costs of education here in California it seems to me to be a bit unequal to give a discount to nationals of another country when our own local students are having a hard time paying for college," local conservative activist Kevin Korenthal reported to the LA Times.
"I feel like it encourages immigrants to come over illegally," sophomore Heidi Koeger said. "So that their children can get a better education through the money from the government."
Twelve other states, including New York, Texas and Washington, have passed legislation similar to the DREAM Act.
The State Department of Finance estimates that the cost of this act will amount to $14.5 million, or one percent of the Cal Grant funds.
"Going to college is a dream that promises intellectual excitement and creative thinking," Brown said. "The DREAM Act benefits us all by giving top students a chance to improve their lives and the lives of all of us."

Kaufman County's newly appointed District Attorney Judge Erleigh Wiley says she understands the dangers of her new post, but they're not enough to keep her from the top prosecutor's job in the County.
"We understand the risk," Wiley said. "We've all stayed and we're willing to accept it including ever district attorney, every staff member and every investigator."
Governor Rick Perry appointed Wiley to the post Wednesday.
She was born and raised in Kaufman County, then spent 14 years as an assistant district attorney in Dallas County. She was elected as Kaufman County Court at Law Judge in 2003 and has held that position until now.
If confirmed by the Texas Senate, she will replace D.A. Mike McLelland, who was found dead Mar. 30 along with his wife, Cynthia. The McLellands were murdered two months after prosecutor Mark Hasse was shot and killed outside the courthouse.
Wiley says she's cautious, but prepared for what the job brings.
"There is danger. We're all in danger here in Kaufman County," Judge Wiley said. "Because until we figure out who's done these horrible things to Mike and Cynthia and Mark, we're all still in danger. So I don't know if I'm stepping into more danger than I was already in."
Wiley says she has not yet been briefed on the investigation to the Hasse and McLelland murders.
She would fill McLelland's term until 2014. The state senate is expected to confirm her appointment sometime next week.

Gina was spotted riding in a campaign car for Cleveland City Council candidate Janet Garcia.
19 Action News Reporter Ed Gallek has learned that assault charges have been dismissed against Cleveland City Council hopeful Janet Garcia, but the candidate is not entirely in the clear.
The case was scheduled to go to trial on Monday.
Records show Garcia interfered when Westlake Police tried to arrest a drunk friend. Garcia said she considers herself a victim of racism.
"I came to the aid of someone in my community that needed my assistance," Garcia said. "I didn't assault an officer."
Gallek has learned that prosecutors do plan to re-indict Garcia. They dismissed the case because key witness were out of town.

The group that operates school buses in Missoula is reminding parents of the importance of walking their kids to and from bus stops after a bus driver noticed a mountain lion on his Friday morning route.
All parents of students in Missoula County Public Schools got a phone call Friday warning them of lion sightings in the Pattee Canyon, South Hills and Miller Creek Areas. Bob Mitchell, general manager of Beach Transportation, said the driver noticed the lion on Gharrett Street between 55th Street and Upper Miller Creek Road."Although we saw the mountain lion in the South Hills this morning, they could be anywhere anytime. So, our message to the people here in Missoula is: we want parents at bus stops. It's very important for the safety of our children," Mitchell said. FWP officials said it is not unusual for mountain lions to enter the area this time of year.

We're not sure how on Earth Alec Baldwin's agent convinced him to do these. He is either the smartest man in Hollywood or the dumbest. Or both. But either way, these ads for the grocery store chain Wegmans, bizarrely starring Alec Baldwin, are total WTF amazing and brilliant.
In the first spot, Baldwin reveals that neither he nor his mother is capable of picking a single cake or pie to eat and decides to buy one of each. In the second spot, Baldwin is so overjoyed that you can buy complete meals for $6 at Wegmans that he launches into a frightening mini-rant about how he is unable to obtain coffee for that price in New York City. Seriously, we got a little scared during this one.
Leave it to Baldwin to fly in the face of conventional wisdom that says when you're riding a high in Hollywood, it's probably not the best thing to do advertising for a regional supermarket chain. You show 'em Alec. Watch the ads after the jump. [via Vulture]
John | November 26, 2010 5:48 AM
You "seriously" think his commenting for 5 seconds about the price of coffee in New York is a mini-rant and frightening? Really?
After that exaggerated build up, I was actually disappointed when I saw the video. After all, a good rant from Alec Baldwin is always worth watching. LOL!
As for whether or not this was a good idea for him, I don't really think he cares at this point in his career. He likes the store, and he wants the world to know. Good for him.
Now I wish we had Wegmans in Atlanta...
RapidEye | November 22, 2010 12:01 AM
I think Alec could use one fewer side item with his $6 meal -
Just sayin'...
Jpizzle | November 21, 2010 1:47 AM
Wegmans is an awesome grocery store. I wish they were in Los Angeles. I can only hope that he did the ads because of Wegman's awesomeness...
Makes me proud to be from Upstate New York.
Susan Garvin | November 20, 2010 4:56 AM
Loved it! I wish I could see Christina Aguilera pitching Primanti's or F.Murray Abraham singing the praises of the O. (I think I just ran out of famous people from Pittsburgh.) I might buy a car from JDByRider if Brad Pitt asked me, too - wtf is happening to me? Seriously, I love Alec Baldwin and hopes he continues to freak people out.
muserella | November 19, 2010 5:09 AM
Following up on the Letterman anecdote, apparently Alec contacted Wegmans after mentioning them on the show and volunteered that he would like to do a commercial for them. They run them on the video screen in the store...surprisingly lengthy bits. His mom must really love Wegmans.
Linda in Wales | November 19, 2010 12:12 AM
Alec Baldwin has never stuck to 'conventional wisdom' - and I hope he never will!
yellowman | November 19, 2010 12:03 AM
Great but has he got jaundice?
SoulHonky | November 18, 2010 11:47 AM
On Letterman in May, he talked about Wegman's and how much his mother loved it and joked that she'd never move to California because she'd have to leave Wegman's behind. Gotta love him staying true to his local supermarket.

Gas-price pain persists in Ventura County as state hits record high
More on mobile: Map of local gas prices and local reaction to rising prices
The price of gasoline hit an all-time average high in California of $4.6140 a gallon Saturday, and consumers in Ventura County were feeling the heat.
Fueled by a reduced supply and a volatile market, the record was set by a fraction of a penny, according to AAA spokesman Michael Green. The previous high was $4.6096 on June 19, 2008.
Prices throughout the state were expected to increase for several more days before leveling off, after a temporary reduction in supply triggered a price spike. The increases have seen fuming motorists paying $5 or more per gallon in some locations and station owners shutting down pumps in others.
Although the price was high, it wasn't as high as it might seem in some cases. A report on GasBuddy.com of $6-per-gallon gas in Simi Valley turned out to be incorrect when The Star sent a reporter to investigate.
AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report released Saturday showed the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas across California rose 12 cents from its Friday mark of about $4.49.
Saturday's price was the highest in the nation, with the Golden State leapfrogging Hawaii this week as the state with the most expensive fuel. The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded across California was 47 cents higher than it was a week earlier, according to AAA.
While the prices were high, customers were buying fuel Saturday at a Camarillo intersection just off Highway 101 that has a gas station on three of its four corners.
Of the three stations at Carmen and Daily drives, the USA gas station had the lowest posted price, $4.55 per gallon, around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Attendant Manuel De Los Rios said he was surprised how quickly the prices went up.
"I was off for two days, Monday and Tuesday, and when I came back to work, gas was at $4.50," he said. He remembered gas being $4.01 per gallon last Sunday.
Also at the intersection, a Valero station was selling gas for just a cent higher at $4.56 and the 7-Eleven at the intersection had a sign advertising gas for $4.75 per gallon.
Jhovany Perez, a cashier at the 7-Eleven, said he hadn't seen many customers on Saturday, compared to Friday.
"We sold out of gas on Friday," he said. "I guess people knew it was going to go up."
He said the store was out of gas for eight hours starting at 4 p.m. Friday.
One potential customer started to pull in at the 7-Eleven but decided at the last second to go get fuel across the street instead. Steve Ford, of Camarillo, opted for the USA station.
"I go wherever it's most convenient and cheap," he said. "I had to turn around. I thought I was going to get hit."
Ford blamed the current crunch on poor planning. He said there should be a greater focus on building more refineries.
Some stations ran out of gas and shut down rather than take the risk of buying gas at soaring prices only to be stuck with a glut of overpriced fuel if prices dropped or if customers refused to absorb the extra cost that would be passed along to them.
The situation has hurt independent stations particularly hard.
One station not selling gas Saturday evening was the Plaza Food Market on Royal Avenue at Thompson Lane in Simi Valley.
The station had signs on its pumps saying it was selling only diesel fuel.
The price for regular unleaded was $4.29 per gallon before the station ran out sometime Friday, said employee Said Said.
He said the owner of the market might not refill until the price of gas declines.
Customers have been coming into the store to express their frustration with rising prices, including some who were crying, he said.
"It's horrible," he said. "Not all people can carry this. You have to solve the problem."
The dramatic surge came after a power outage Monday at a Southern California refinery reduced supply in an already fragile and volatile market, analysts said. The refinery came back online Friday and prices were expected to stabilize soon.
The situation is compounded by a California pollution law that requires a special blend of cleaner-burning gasoline from April to October, said Denton Cinquegrana, executive editor of the Oil Price Information Service, which helps AAA compile its price survey.
"We use the phrase 'the perfect storm,' and you know what, this current one makes those other perfect storms look like a drizzle. I don't want to scare anyone, but this is a big problem," Cinquegrana said. "Run-outs are happening left and right."
Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at GasBuddy.com, predicted the average price could peak as high as $4.85.
"There is some relief in sight but probably not for a couple of days. Early next week is when we may see some more significant declines ... but at retail prices, prices may climb for the next two to three days before they start to come down," he said.
Gasoline inventories in California are at their lowest point in more than 10 years, a situation made worse by the mandate for the special summer gasoline blend. Few refineries outside the state can make it, meaning there are few outside sources to draw from for help, Cinquegrana said.
The California Air Resources Board is reviewing a request from the California Independent Oil Marketers Association for a waiver that would allow gas stations to begin selling winter-blend gasoline before Halloween.

Dellfield double stabbing: neighbours react to 'terribly tragic' double stabbing
Updated 5:29pm Monday 14th April 2014 in News By Rebecca Perring, Senior Reporter
UPDATE: Police release description of man after two men found stabbed
Police are hunting a man after two people were found stabbed at a house in St Albans.
A 23-year-old man and a 33-year-old man were discovered with numerous stab injuries at a house in Lycaste Close, off Dellfield at 5.45pm yesterday evening. All three men know each other.
The younger man was airlifted to the Royal London Hospital by air ambulance with stomach wounds "in a potentially life-threatening condition" and the older man was taken to Watford General with thigh wounds.

Another Dellfield resident, who asked not to be named said: "This is terribly tragic.
"I have seen a few things over the last six or seven years, but this is one of the worse issues we have had down here."
Linda Jackson, 62, from Lycaste Close, said: "This was very disturbing for a quiet area like this.
"There was lots of police lights and dogs. It was like a scene from a movie. It's a big shock and there are lots of old people living here by themselves."
Bushra Tariq, 25, also from Dellfield, said she walks around the flats to take her two young children to school every day, and yesterday saw lots of police cars and a cordon around Lycaste Road.
She added: "It's worrying when you hear something like this because my daughter goes to school nearby so we use the shortcut around the flat. Now i have told my husband i am going to use another route."
Another neighbour, who asked to not be named, said: "This is terrible for something like this to happen in broad daylight."
The younger man is now in a stable condition. The older man, who was taken to Watford General with thigh wounds, has been released.
The location of the incident
Police are currently trying to trace a third man in connection with the stabbings.

Might Ben Nelson Switch Parties for 2012?
by Nathan Empsall, Tue Feb 09, 2010 at 10:58:38 AM EST
Although he gets a reprieve for 2010, his 2012 re-election bid will be Nebraska's next Senate race, and as his and his party's approval ratings dip and his race grows closer, he's started to tack even harder hard to the right than usual. He supported his party's top priority, health care reform, but only after he won major conservative and parochial concessions on abortion and Medicaid. He watered down the stimulus. He's not likely to support one of the next major initiatives, clean energy reform (although thankfully he is still open to negotiation and consideration). And now he will oppose one of the President's appointees to the National Labor Relations Board because the man is pro-labor, never mind that a pro-labor Democrat won the White House with 53% of the popular vote. Politico's Manu Raju:
Nelson, a conservative Democrat up for reelection in 2012, has seen his approval ratings drop sharply since he lent his support for Obama's health care bill in December and secured deals for Nebraska's Medicaid payments.
His latest decision could help him tout his independent credentials back home, but will likely generate anger from the left, which says Becker is a well-qualified nominee who has been denigrated by his opponents.

Falling prices for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules have been unable tostimulate the faltering European solar market, according to a newreport.
The latest Solarbuzz European PV Markets Report says the market wasshowing signs of gaining strength in June, but was hampered byunexpected adjustments to the feed-in-tariff in Germany.
Alan Turner, Vice President of European Market Research for Solarbuzz,explains that more frequent policy adjustments in the European marketare creating uncertainties for investors in PV systems.
While Germany ultimately strengthened incentives for renewables across the board, tariffs in other European countriesare being dialed down, and it is yet to be seen whether growth in theEuropean PV market will return to the torrid pace set in 2010.
"For the past decade, Europe has played a dominant role in creating thedemand growth that has fueled global manufacturing capacity expansion,"notes Alan Turner, Vice President of European Market Research forSolarbuzz. "This was underpinned by aggressive, uncapped feed-in tariff(FIT) programs that are now being scaled back to reduce costs."
The downturn in major European markets in the first half of 2011 leftmodule shipments from manufacturers running well ahead of end-marketdemand. The resulting increase in downstream inventories quickly spreadto the upstream, causing production plans to be reined in. As a result,crystalline silicon module price offers have reached new lows of€0.75-1.00 per watt.
PV Incentive Tariff Policy Changes Shape Market Growth
Market growth of 169% across Europe in 2010 was led by three countries:Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic. Each country deliveredgigawatt-scale markets and, combined, represented 89% of Europeandemand.
Italy's market share is forecast to rise from 32% in 2010 to 39% in 2015 to become the largest market in Europe, while the combined share of the two largest markets, Italy and Germany, is forecast to fall to 71% in2015 from 80% in 2010.
Growth of the Italian market in 2010 came despite installed systemprices up to 33% higher than in Germany, depending on system size. Evenwith high prices, solar PV project investment returns up to 20% couldstill be realized, a clear indicator both of the generous level ofincentive tariff rates and the headroom for future tariff reductions,the report states.
Based on an assessment of countries over the next 18 months, incentivetariffs for residential systems are set to fall by at least an average17%, with commercial roof-mounted systems of 100 kW falling by 23% andground-mounted 1 MW installations falling by 34%.
Residential tariffs in Greece and the UK show the least reduction amongthe major markets in Europe through 2012, according to current policyplans, while tariffs for large ground-mounted systems fall to the lowest levels in Belgium, Spain and France, according to Solarbuzz.
Solar Industry Projections
Solarbuzz predicts that, over the next five years, customer segmentation changes across Europe will see the residential PV segment double itsshare. In addition, investor groups' share will fall by almost half,while commercial (including agricultural) customers remain the dominantmarket segment for PV installations.
Longer term, major regulatory challenges lie ahead before grid paritycan stimulate self-sustaining markets, despite fast reducing solarelectricity costs, the report concludes.
Solarbuzz also forecasts a significant cell manufacturer shakeout phasefrom 2012-2014 because of over-expansion during 2010 when revenue grew84%.
They expect PV equipment spending for c-Si ingot-to-module and thin-film panels to decline sharply in 2012 to $7.6 billion, down 47% from arecord $14.2 billion in 2011, according to the latest their "PVEquipment Quarterly" report.
The decline in equipment spending will impact revenues in the secondhalf of 2011 and result in lower corporate guidance for 2012.

text: Good, and lengthy article in the NYT on Barry Zito and how the huge contract has changed his life and his ability to be an effective pitcher. IMO one of the most fascinating things about sports, and baseball in particular is how pressure affects athletes' performance. If i were a GM and had the resources, i'd employ someone to analyze which personality types flourish under pressure and which ones fold, and use that data to help decide which free agents to go after. I guess that's some of what scouts do, and thus the school of thought that scouts have something to offer that sabermatricians don't. If that's true i guess it's a good thing that JD uses a mix of both approaches. I'm not convinced you could predict how a player would respond to the added pressure of a big contract, but if you could, it would be a huge asset.

One Week Until Halloween: Animal Costume Ideas
The final countdown starts today! It's the last weekend before Halloween and if you don't have a costume for your little one yet, you better get on it! Here are a few last minute Halloween costume ideas.
Monkey See, Monkey Doo Romper: What's not to love about a monkey-themed baby Halloween costume?
Frog Prince Baby Costume: The Frog Prince costume is perfect for little boys who have an older sister going as Princess Tiana for Halloween.
Baby Dinosaur Costume: I think it would be hysterically funny to see a baby dressed as a dinosaur riding around on Kota the Robo-Triceratops. Not likely to happen, but it would still be funny.

Kids Halloween Costumes: Disney Princess
One great thing about Disney Princess costumes is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween, which makes them something of a bargain. Hours and hours of playtime fun from just one costume! The downside is that little girls will probably try to wear them well after Halloween to places like school and the mall, so you may have a little trouble convincing your little princess that it's time to put the costume away. But these costumes are so adorable, can you really blame little girls for trying to wear them as much as possible?
- Disney Princess Cinderella Prestige Collection Gown: This Cinderella costume is what I consider a little on the pricey side ($48.99), but it is stunning.
- Disney Princess Ariel Costume: The blue side panels on the skirt of this Disney Princess Ariel costume create the impression of swimming under the sea. Pretty cool!
- Disney Princess Belle Costume: Your little girl will be the Belle of the ball in this adorable golden Princess Belle costume.

More Baby Halloween Costumes: Star Wars
Star Wars costumes are the perfect solution for babies who like to cruise around town in a custom-built Star Wars stroller. I am having a hard time deciding which one I like most:
Baby Obi Wan Kenobi - Not sure how I feel about infants handling light sabers, but it is an adorable Halloween costume.
Baby Princess Leia - I think the "hair" alone makes the Princess Leia costume worth purchasing.
Baby Chewbacca - Speaking of hair, what is going on with Chewbacca's fur here? This costume makes Chewbacca look like he's been through one of those weird poodle grooming sessions. And yet as much as this offends the Star Wars fan in me, I somehow find it irresistably cute. Go figure.

Baby Clothing Recall: Taggies Sleep 'n Play Infant Garments
A voluntary recall has been issued for Taggies Sleep 'N Play Infant Garments because the snap closures pose a potential choking threat. Luckily no injuries were reported prior to this recall, but it is always better to be safe than sorry. The two Sleep 'n Play styles affected in the recall were sold between June 2007 through May 2008 at places like Dillards and Nordstrom and have the code "RN #27829″ printed on the garment's care label. The Taggies licensee who manufactured these styles, Rashti & Rashti, is offering a refund, so check out their website for details.
I have to commend Taggies for their quick action on this recall and their overall commitment to children's safety. The website has a full page of safety information and resources, in addition to a link for recall information on the homepage. It gives me a lot more confidence in their pledge to provide safe baby products.
There have been a few other recent notable recalls that I haven't had a chance to blog about, so please check out the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's June 2008 Recalls and Product Safety News when you have a chance. Here are some highlights:
eStyle Recalls Mini Chef Toy Kitchens Due to Choking and Tip-Over Hazards
Stanley Furniture Recalls Cribs Due to Entrapment Hazard
Nordstrom Recalls Girls' Sandals Due to Choking Hazard
Children's Merry-Go-Rounds Sold Exclusively at Toys R Us Recalled by Pacific Cycle Due to Fall Hazard
Simmons Kids Recalls Crib Mattresses Due to Entrapment Hazard

Croc Attack!
I am a little surprised to learn how dangerous Crocs shoes can be for kids. 77 escalator entrapment "incidents" in the US alone??? Are you kidding me??? With their bright colors, slip-resistant soles and fashion-repellent aesthetic, they seemed (at least to me) like the ideal kids' shoes. Guess I was wrong.
At least I am consoled by this awesome discovery in kids' shoes: Pediped footwear!
The shoes are adorable, and they are recommended by podiatrists. Best of all, I called Pediped and they have not had any problems with their shoes getting stuck in escalators.

Funny Baby Clothes
This post about Ten Weird Baby Outfits on Divine Caroline is totally cracking me up. I know Halloween is months away, but I have a total soft spot for babies in ridiculous baby clothes. Part of me feels a little bad, knowing these kids will grow up and have to deal with friends and loved ones teasing them about these outfits.
But all that said, seriously, what is cuter than a kid in a ridiculous costume?
Muscle Beach Baby
Nice Elephant "trunk"….maybe they should just cut that off and call it a mouse costume?
Baby Oompa Loompa - what's not to love?

Hot Mommas!
I found this great site called OC Mamma that is definitely worth a look. Their organic baby clothes are all currently 20% off, and they have some really cute things.
I am in love with this Puff Sleeve Onesie:
And this Spaghetti Strap Tank Top:
Both are adorable and on sale for $18.
OC Mamma also has a lot of great resources, like a list of area Mom's Clubs and a Girl Talk Forum where moms can connect. Definitely worth a look!

By AMELIA DANIELS 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- An assistant principal at Powell High School has been cleared in part by the school system. This after an investigation found accusations of a sexual relationship with a student were unfounded.
Assistant Principal Kim Kallenberg, 36, is still under investigation on accusations of grade tampering and inappropriate conduct, according to a statement from the school system.
"First of all, I want to say that I'm pleased that representatives from Knox County Schools have admitted that the sexual allegations made against me are unfounded," Kallenberg said. "My family and I have been devastated by the falsehood of these allegations."
The student Kallenberg was accused of being involved with, 18-year-old Joseph Lee Smith, signed an affidavit that said, "I have never had any sexual or inappropriate relationship with Kimberly L. Kallenberg."
The state Department of Children's Services was notified about the relationship accusations but declined to investigate because the student is 18.
Kallenberg went on to say Friday, "I do want my family and my friends and my students to know that the remaining allegations are also false, and that's it. Thank you."
School officials have not said how many students they suspect had their grades changed. But Kallenberg's attorney, Greg Isaacs, said in July, "She shares the Knox County School Board's desire to find out who did it and to correct and remedy the situation."
Kallenberg filed a discrimination complaint against the Knox County School System last week over the investigation of her alleged student relationship.
In the complaint, Kallenberg says she believes she was suspended and transferred because she's a woman. She goes on to say she is aware of similar investigations involving male teachers who were treated differently.
In another complaint filed last week, Kallenberg claims the school system improperly disclosed the name and records of the student linked to her in the investigation. This complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education.
Kallenberg's attorney, Greg Isaacs is calling for a probe into the school's investigation about the alleged relationship. He believes it was mishandled from the start.
Isaacs says, "We are going to ask the Knox County Board of Education to investigate this investigation. We hope that the school board will make sure the standard of accountability that others are seeking to impose on my client are imposed on the decision makers and we want to know the age old question in Tennessee, what they knew and when they knew it."
Kallenberg was first hired as an English teacher in 1997. She became the assistant principal at Powell High three years ago.
Smith was arrested on a DUI charge eight days after the report involving he and Kallenberg.
He was dismissed from the Vols football team, losing a full athletic scholarship as an incoming freshman. He would have played tight end.
