I can't believe something like this hasn't been posted already given a) we're all Cougs and b) beer tastes good.
What I need are some suggestions for some good brews out right now or about to come out shortly for the late Spring/early summer. I grew up in Woodinville so my favorite post-work/post-game/10 AM hangover cure has always been pretty much anything from Redhook but I'm trying to expand my horizons a bit.
Any suggestions for a delicious beer for the upcoming spring (whenever the hell that gets to Seattle) or even the summer time which I'm hopeful will show up soon after Memorial Day. And please, suggestions for beer I can find in Seattle. If you have something else to suggest, please feel free to send me a free sample since I'll be unable to pick it up in and around the Emerald City.

According to Bruce Feldman of CBS sports, reports out of Texas are that Big 12 presidents and chancellors have agreed to invite TCU into the Big 12.
You can view Bruce Feldman's twitter account here http://twitter.com/#!/BFeldmanCBS
He has been receiving information from Kirk Bohls of the Austin Statesmen. He is updating via twitter and his newspaper's blog at http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/bohls/index.html
So what now? This means Big 12 is planning for Mizzou departure. Who gets the next invite(s)? Do they go all the way over to West Virginia and Lousiville? Do they stay a little more regional and invite BYU? Does BSU even get a sniff??

How to make the most of RNAS Culdrose Air Day - today! UPDATE Red Arrows cancelled
Updated 3:44pm Wednesday 24th July 2013 in News
UPDATE: The Red Arrows display has been cancelled for safety reasons, due to low cloud.
RNAS Culdrose has revealed details of how visitors to today's Air Day should access the base in order to enter and leave most easily.
The usually private naval base on the outskirts of Helston will be opening up its gates to the public, allowing them on site to experience the work that is carried out there.
There will be family activities set up in hangars, with demonstrations on the ground and in the air.
The afternoon flying display usually attracts the largest crowds and is this year set to feature the Red Arrows and the ever-popular Breitling Wing Walkers among its programme.
While gates open from 9.30am, visitors arriving before 9am are still able to park on the Culdrose sports pavilion fields.
They should follow traffic signs for Air Day and on arrival will be directed to this parking area.
Once parked they can enter via a side gate and be directed to the ticketing booth, approximately a 300 metre walk away.
Cars travelling from Helston or Penzance should access via the Culdrose main gate on the A3083, where parking marshals will direct drivers into ticketing lanes and then onto the parking areas.
From Falmouth or Truro follow the traffic signs for Air Day along the A394, which will divert traffic off the A394 via a temporary one way system through Gweek and into the site via W site gate. This will involve a 70 metre walk to the ticket booth.
Visitors from The Lizard will be directed to W site gate or Culdrose sports pavilion fields.
The best access for disabled people is to arrive from the direction of Helston and display a Blue Badge prominently on arrival and you will be directed to suitable parking.
Anyone arriving on foot or by bicycle should use the cycle/footpath on the A3083 and access the site on the same side of the road as the foot path.
Gates close at 6pm. People leaving are asked to remain patient and follow the directions of the traffic marshals as there will be thousands of vehicles to get away safely.
A Culdrose spokesman said: "These directions might not appear initially to be taking you in the direction that you want to go but traffic systems are in place to eventually route to all directions. Your patience and assistance is gratefully appreciated."

Shame about the cloud but I am sure everyone that attended Air Day would still have greatly enjoyed it. It is an event that is certainly well organised and worth attending.

The Catbird Seat is open Wednesday through Saturday. The first reservation is at 5:45pm and the last reservation is at 9:15pm. We are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of each week.
Reservations run on a 30-day rolling calendar, so on any given day, reservations are available for up to 30 days in the future. For example, if you would like to make a reservation for May 31st, reservations for that date would become available on May 1st.
Due to having only thirty-two seats (twenty of which are bar seats), The Catbird Seat often has limited reservation availability. In order to ensure you are able to view all of the available times, we suggest you choose the date below that you would like to dine, select your party size, then search for a 7:30pm reservation. All availability for that particular evening will then appear. If there is not availability left on the evening you have chosen, you will be shown available options for future dates (if any are still open).
Please note that we allow cancellations up to seven days prior to your cancellation date. If you cancel your reservation less than seven days in advance, you will be charged $75 per person.

Guest Star: "Latinos Are Here & We're Making Our Mark"
Thursday, May 19, 2011 1:55PM
[With the new big screen release of hip-hop dance drama Go For It!, featured actress Somaya Reece reflects on her involvement on the film and how it mirrors her own similarities to her own struggles as an aspiring artist.]
I wish people [knew] how me and [director] Carmen Marron met. She personally handpicked me [to star in the film] because of my story. The way she came to me and told me, the way this film was and the fact that she was so passionate about it, I couldn't expect anything less than how great it is.
It's a great film and it's exactly what she said it was going to be and better. I think it's so fabulous that it's such a positive thing and it shows the real life struggles. I feel like this story was really so close to my life, being somebody that always wanted to work in hip-hop and [was] constantly told "No. No. No," even [by] my own family members. You know you always have that one family member, especially in Latin households, like, "You better go to school or have some babies."There are so many great moments in the film that I really can't pick just one. To be honest, a lot of the things were going against [protagonist] Amy in the film. It's just so hard to choose one in particular. A lot of that pressure against her with the family fighting, the brother and everything else really just hit home to me. It was like I saw my life right there on the screen.
I hope people will notice that Latinos are here and we're making our mark in other projects. I really hope people will like the story because it's very relatable to people and I really want people to never give up on your dreams. That's why I'm here. Never give up on your dreams because not everyone is going to like you, not everyone is going to like what you do. The greatest people that are out there now as performers [were] frowned upon. So you have to believe in yourself and forget about the haters.
Somaya Reece is a rapper, radio personality and actress who has origins from the West Coast. In addition to making music, she has taken her talent to the big screen as seen in the new Go For It! film and to the silver screen as one of the main cast members of VH1 reality series "Love & Hip-Hop." While known as a West Coast artist, Reece moved to the New York City region in the late 2000's to continue her career in the music industry.

Four Linn County deputies have a hefty paycheck in their hands after the Linn County Sheriff's Office realized it wasn't paying them what it should have been.
The Sheriff's Office had to fork over $223,869 in back pay to four deputy paramedics, sworn law enforcement officers who also serve as EMTs in Linn County.
It said confusing and conflicting federal labor laws entitled back pay to Ben Brink in the amount of $83,000, Brad Campbell with $74,000, Nick Heintz with $38,000 and Kellie Hughes with $28,869.
Linn County Sheriff Brian Gardner said Heinz brought the issue to his attention in the beginning of the year. He said Heintz has since left the department and believes he took a job outside of law enforcement.
Sheriff Gardner calls the back pay incident an oversight after about 30-years of paying deputy paramedics specific wages.
He said according to federal labor laws, the four employees, who worked 24-hour shifts at the time, should have been earning 8-hours of overtime between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. even if there weren't any calls during those hours. Instead, Gardner said the employees earned overtime only when they received a call during those hours.
Gardner said the back pay came from Linn County's general fund.
He said while the sum of the back pay might seem like a lot of money, the Sheriff's Office alone contributes about $5-million in revenue to the general fund every year.
"It's a lot of money, but again they were entitled to the money. It would be wrong to withhold the money from them so they were paid the money," he said.
"In the grand scheme of things...$223,000 is actually a small amount out of these greater pools. Still a lot of money, but it's a small amount of money in these larger pools," he added.

We know that babies will cry, but we don't always know why. Those crying spells can be chronic and last for months. Experts say it's natural to get frustrated and think that something's just not right.
Now, a Siouxland hospital is helping new parents not to overreact. The staff at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center is decked out in purple. It's to recognize their PURPLE crying program, which teaches new parents why it's totally normal for children to cry.
"Anywhere from two to five months is common. A baby will just have random crying spells. They're inconsolable," said Michelle Jansen, assistant manager of the birth center at St. Luke's.
Every new patient who comes through the hospital gets a hand-knitted purple hat to raise awareness for the PURPLE Crying program and premature births. The hospital will continue to give these out throughout the month and until every hat is gone.
Heather Allred has a new baby, Ellie, who was born four and a half weeks early through a C-section procedure, and a new hat.
"It was a little bit scary, but she was doing really well from the time she was born, so that helped a lot," said Allred.
Stephanie Alfredson just had her second child, Aaron. She says her family was lucky to have things easy with their daughter, Audriana, but the program video taught them to be ready for anything.
"You fed the baby, you've changed it and you know they might still cry. If you're a mom, you're sleep deprived and tired and just frustrated," said Alfredson.
"Parents can get very frustrated with their infants and basically will pick them up and shake them," said Jansen.
Of course, you should never do that. Medical experts say that can lead to brain damage, and even death in some cases.
"The people in the video were awesome parents, and they just got frustrated. They shook the baby and it died," said Alfredson.
With each hat and video, medical experts are helping make sure, when the crying begins, parents know what to do, to make it through the tough times.
Those purple hats were donated by several local students and community organizations. Altogether, 637 hats were donated, so officials expect they'll be handing out those into 2013.

This game could be described as absolutely miserable. The Braves got waxed by Cole Hamels and the Phillies in the last game before the All-Star Break. It would've been great to see the Braves notch win number 10,000 and pick up a game on the Phillies n the NL East standings. Nothing of the sort was going to happen. Derek Lowe's sinker didn't really show up to the ballpark today and nothing could go right in the field for the Braves.
Nearly every ball that the Phillies hit found a hole between the infielders or simply bounced over their heads. Lowe only struck out one batter in his six innings and gave up four runs. But when Lowe exited the game at a score of 4-1, the fun was just beginning for the Phillies.
The Phillies struck it big in the seventh, when Cory Gearrin and Scott Proctor couldn't seem to get an out and gave up six runs, all of which were credited to Gearrin. The fans in Philadelphia demonstrated exactly why they are so widely despised when they began mocking the Braves with the Tomahawk Chop during the never-ending inning. I try not to be too biased during these recaps, but if anything good came of this game, maybe Scott Proctor's outing will get him designated for assignment. The Phillies racked up a season-high twenty hits in today's game. John Mayberry Jr., Jimmy Rollins, and Domonic Brown all had three hits each and Michael Martinez, filling in for the injured Placido Polanco, went four for five on the day.
Dan Uggla hit a liner to left center in the second inning for a double and made his way around the bases on grounders from Heyward and Julio Lugo to score the game's first run. That was all the scoring the Braves could muster on the day, as Cole Hamels was absolutely spectacular, giving up just three hits in eight innings.

Per Adam Schefter, Milliner will undergo minor shoulder surgery after the combine.... not big deal, but might be just enough to slide to us.
I know most people here do not think he will fall out of the top 10, but if Milliner is still there the Bucs almost have to take him. It would be interesting if Milliner, Ansah, and Vaccaro are all on the board. If that is the case who do we pick and why?

Introducing the Apertus Axiom Beta: the Most Affordable 4K Cinema Camera Yet
We've been covering the work that the fine folks over at Apertus have been doing for quite a while. In fact, just under a month ago, we got our first taste of footage from their early prototype camera, the Axiom Alpha, and it was quite promising. In the spirit of NAB, where multiple new 4K cameras have already been announced (see our constantly-updating NAB News article), Apertus thought it prudent to make a major announcement of their own. Today they unveiled the Axiom Beta project and gave word that a crowdfunding campaign is imminent, which means that an extremely affordable 4K open-source cinema camera might be in your hands before the year is through. Read on for details on this major announcement from Apertus. More »
First Footage from the Open Source Apertus Axiom 4K Camera
It's been a long road for the team over at Apertus, but they've reached a major milestone: they are recording footage and are finally showing it to the public. To put this into perspective, Apertus first announced their plans to build a camera from scratch nearly 2 years ago, and in that time with just a small group of people they've got a working product. It should be noted that for testing purposes the first step is getting HDMI recording working (though they will eventually use 3G-SDI and they did show off a 4K RAW image back in January – it's just a lot of data to handle for full motion footage and that's an end goal with the Axiom). Either way, it's a huge accomplishment, so check out the very, very early prototype footage below. More »
Open Source Apertus Axiom 4K Camera Project Exploring Swappable Sensors, Lens Mounts, & Filters
You may have read some of our previous coverage on the Apertus Axiom Open Source 4K camera (not to be confused with Axiom Images who just shot RED DRAGON aerials), but the concept continues to improve. The team is hard at work on their prototypes, and while their module concept idea is not new, they are working on having the first open source camera with easily interchangeable mounts, sensor filters, and even image sensors. Click through for more on their open module concept and how they've expanded it. More »
First 4K RAW Image Posted from the Open Source Apertus Axiom Camera
The Apertus Axiom project, which is trying to build the first open source 4K RAW Super 35mm camera, has been making steady progress over the last year or so, with a significant amount happening in the last few months. The team has been working hard with the CMOSIS 4K sensor that will eventually be in a completed camera, and they've now delivered the first 4K DNG for all of you to mess around with. More »
First Images from Apertus' Super 35mm Camera Prototype, the Axiom Alpha
About a month ago, the open source Apertus Axiom camera project showed its first signs of life by sharing its open module concept ideas and camera designs with the public. This milestone took Apertus one step closer to meeting their self-imposed goals they've put in place to guide their project toward crowdfunding, and as of Friday, they've drawn ever closer by capturing their first images with their prototype and proof of concept for the Apertus Axiom , dubbed the Axiom Alpha. They've shared some of these images on their website, and discuss at length certain issues, like sensor defects, ghosting, and black specks, as well as a game plan for solving them. Continue on to see where Apertus is at with the Axiom Alpha. More »
'It's Alive!' Apertus Shows Off Infinitely Modular & Open Source 4K Super 35mm Camera
In an age of 6K RAW and 2.5K for $2K cameras rapidly announced and released, it's possible even for novel and notable concepts to fall by the wayside. Amongst the competition, I'm sure I was not alone in hoping against such a fate for the fully-open source Apertus Axiom camera project. A fully transparent and modular global-shutter Super35 CinemaDNG 4K with 15 stops of latitude and 150 fps at full-res is still a damn desirable piece of equipment. It now appears that the Axiom is showing its first signs of life with an improved modular design. Check out the details below. More »
DIY FYI: You Don't Need a 4K Monitor to Monitor in 4K (But It's Not Perfect and Uses Linux)
We've had a few posts revolving around open source 3D modeling & animation suite Blender recently, including some info on using it to model color space in three dimensions. Now, as a bit of a 'BTW, FYI' to a more recent post concerning the free release of all 4k F65 footage acquired for Blender's CGI/live-action Tears of Steel, we have some info that may actually help you visualize that or any other 4k footage in full-res — without an actual 4k monitor. It isn't perfect — it's a bit rough and ready, and may require Linux, but we thought our readers should know that it's possible, especially since very few of us have access to 4k viewing, be it through projection or UHD TV sets. Read on for some details on how the Project Mango team devised its 'DIY 4k' monitoring solution. More »
Blender Foundation Releases 4TB of 'Tears of Steel' Sony F65 4K Footage & Demonstrates Post Workflow
The Blender Foundation is constantly pushing the boundaries of availability, openness, and access to the raw materials it uses to create its 'proof-of-Blender' animated shorts. This type of access is usually more associated with open source software than filmmaking, but especially since the Project Mango live-action CGI/VFX-heavy Tears of Steel was realized, that distinction has become increasingly blurred. Now filmmakers, animators, or compositors looking to cut their teeth on professional-grade material have access to the entirety of Tears of Steel's footage, in 4k OpenEXR (in the ACES color space), courtesy Xiph.org. In the meantime, the Foundation has also made available a number of resources concerning their post-production pipeline, which allowed them to transcode 4K Sony F65 footage to those Linux-workable OpenEXR frames. Check below for more details. More »
Apertus Axiom Global Shutter 4K Super 35mm Camera Gets a Prototype and a Website
We told you back in July about the Apertus project and their goal to build the first open source digital cinema camera — not only that, but one that could match or exceed the specs of some of the other digital cinema cameras out there. This open source camera, the Axiom, will be capable of RAW high-speed 4K recording, and best of all, the software will be made open to the public so that the users can do whatever they want with it, similar to the Magic Lantern project, but without any hacking involved since it's being made available for free. The team over at Apertus has been hard at work behind the scenes, and while their crowdfunding project for the camera will not start this year, they launched a website to detail the Axiom and the new Axiom Alpha, a prototype using the same sensor as the final camera.

Selfstarter May Be a Trendsetter: Crowdfunding Goes Open Source
Just because you attempt to launch something on Kickstarter, does not automatically mean the project will be approved. In response to this, the development team for the Lockitron project (whose original startup was indeed rejected by Kickstarter) has released a new donation-based funding system, called Selfstarter — and since then has raised $1 million in pre-order sales using it. Selfstarter is fully customizable, clearly effective (compare that $1 million to the team's original $150,000 goal), and — most importantly — free for everyone to use for their own projects. More details after the jump. More »
'Tears of Steel': a Completely Open Source Live Action/CG Sci-Fi Film
Open Source doesn't always have the greatest reputation in the filmmaking community, often because many believe it means unsupported and infrequently updated — and sometimes they're right. We're going to be getting the first open source camera, but open source software has existed for filmmaking for quite some time and there are plenty of options out there that can produce spectacular results, like the 3D animation program Blender. The Blender Foundation has been working with talented people to make films using the software, and Tears of Steel is their 4th completely Open Source film. How open? They are releasing all of the materials for the short film completely under a Creative Commons license (free to reuse and distribute with attribution). The film is streaming, and also available as an HD download (which is the way I'd recommend watching). More »
Apertus Announces Axiom Camera: 4K at 150fps, 15 Stop Dynamic Range, Under $10K
It looks like RED, Sony, and Canon will be getting some interesting competition very soon. Apertus, the open source camera project that started in 2006, was designing a camera with all open source hardware and software using the small sensor Elphel camera. They recently announced that they'll be building a brand new camera that is going shoot Cinema DNG files and sport a 4K Super 35mm sensor, 150fps at 4K, a global shutter, and the capability to get up to 15 stops of dynamic range using a process similar to RED's HDRx. The best part of all — it's open source, and they are planning on running a crowdfunding campaign to fund the project. More »
Check out Apertus, the Open Source HD Cinema Camera
Ever since Tramm Hudson hacked the 5D firmware, I've been wondering if some enterprising folks could buy a lot of large CMOS sensors wholesale and develop their own camera. After all, the RED camera is essentially a laptop computer (housed in the camera's body) attached to an imaging chip. Apertus is one such open-source cinema project that began in 2006; here's where the project stands today. More »

Police are investigating a fire that damaged an Emigsville home early Tuesday.
The rear of the home in the 2700 block of Clearbrook Boulevard was fully involved with fire when officers and firefighters responded shortly before 6:30 a.m.
A sunroom and the rear of the home sustained heavy damage and the rest of the home had significant damage from flames and smoke, according to York Area United Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Robert McCoy, who said the fire apparently started on a back porch.
Two residents escaped the fire and were not injured. McCoy said they were being assisted by the American Red Cross.

I have had the pleasure of attending numerous men's and women's soccer games this season. I have personal ties to both teams, and games are easy to get to and generally pretty fun.
Tonight was perhaps the best Wake soccer game I've ever seen, as the Deacs came back to defeat top-ranked and undefeated Maryland 4-2. The game was wild, full of emotional swings, and featured noticeable bad blood, including an apparent punch and subsequent red card. And in the end, the Deacs simply would not be denied.
Collin Martin got the Deacs going with a nifty cross about 15 minutes in to Sean Okoli, whose point-blank header was only parried by Maryland goalkeeper Keith Cardona. Midfielder Jared Watts was on the spot to finish up, but the goal was officially credited to Okoli. Watts seemed to take this personally (THIS IS FORESHADOWING).
From then on, the first half was all Terps. It was pretty easy to see why they're undefeated and top-ranked: the entire team is dangerously quick, they all look sharp on the ball, and the combination play from midfield to forwards is sharp.
The Terps got one goal back rather quickly - a ball was played in that Wake keeper Andrew Harris wasn't able to fully punch away, and John Stertzer decided to go ahead and make Sportscenter by full-on bicycle-kicking the ball into the goal (no kidding, I've never seen one successfully pulled off in a game before, and I predict this one will easily make Sportscenter's Top 10). 1-1 about halfway through the half. Also, one of the Maryland players decided to taunt the crowd.
Unfortunately, the Terps continued to dominate. Wake's backs attempted to clear the ball long with absolutely no success, and Maryland was able to sustain pressure. A ball over the top to Christiano Francoise put Harris in no-man's land, and Francoise was able to scoot the ball around him into an open net for a 1-2 lead heading in to halftime. The same Maryland player taunted the crowd. This would prove to be a big mistake.
A note on Harris' play: Wake has started Michael Lisch in goal most of the season, and he's looked solid. Harris got the start on senior night against South Carolina (despite Lisch being a senior and Harris being a freshman) and gave in what I thought was a misplayed shot from a sharp angle. Tonight, he looked pretty tentative coming off his line, but he definitely grew in confidence as the game progressed.
I've always wondered what it would be like to have a coach who could have a tangible positive impact on the game via tactical adjustments. Some coaches make changes, and those coaches never seem to end up at Wake. Well, I'll just say this - the game ball tonight should've gone to coach Jay Vidovich, both for whatever he said to the players at halftime and for the tactical adjustments he made.
Wake came out the second half on fire. Vidovich took out one of the forwards from his favored 4-3-3 for a 4-4-2 and moved Tony Arena up from center back (and inserting Danny Wenzel at center back). What followed can only be described as the best half of soccer I've ever seen a Wake team play (and I went to plenty of games during the 2007 championship season).
Two minutes into the half, Watts was unjustly robbed of a penalty after he dispossessed a Maryland defender and got pulled from behind. Suffice to say, Jared did not like this, as he started - for lack of a better word - bullying Maryland players with physical play on all 50/50 balls played towards him.
Five minutes into the half, Wake had a series where two separate shots had to be cleared off the line by defenders with the goalie beaten.
All this pressure seemed to legitimately rattle the Maryland players, who began to increasingly foul the Wake players intentionally. This is likely a controversial point, but I don't think there's any way to change the fact that the Maryland players became increasingly unhinged as the second half progressed.
Thirteen minutes into the half, Okoli found Ross Tomaselli on a diagonal ball passed back towards the penalty marker, and Tomaselli coolly buried the ball in the corner for 2-2.
Halfway through the second half, the dam broke. After a series of rough fouls, Terp defender London Woodberry seemed to take a punch at Watts. Red card. As Woodberry was leaving the field, words were still being exchanged. Eventually the coaches had to be separated. Vidovich took Watts off to cool for good measure, but down a man, the damage was done. Any shot that Maryland had at winning this game was over, with the crowd into it and the Wake players flying around like they had jet packs on. I think had they been able to take the 2-2 draw and leave right there, most of the Maryland team would've been on the bus. Unfortunately for them, there were 20 minutes left.
Two minutes later, defender Chris Duvall dribbled forty yards unmarked from his position at right back before lofting the ball to Luca Jimenez, who was wide-ass-open on the far post at the six-yard box. Jimenez finished with a beautiful touch into the far post. 3-2. At this point the crowd was going absolutely bonkers.
Ten minutes later, they had more reason to cheer. Midfielder Luciano Delbono scythed his way from midfield past three Maryland defenders into the top of the box, where he was tackled by two Maryland players. I thought Delbono went down rather easily, but the ref - possibly persuaded by the crowd or the increasingly violent nature of the game - awarded a penalty. Wenzel made no doubt about the finish, going low and left, then running to Cardona and letting him know. 4-2, and Maryland was soup.
Overall, it's hard to come away from this and not be incredibly impressed. Maryland I think proved their ranking - they went down a goal, but didn't panic and got two good goals to reverse the deficit. And then they got run off the field.
This Wake team is for real. I had planned to write a fan-post this week of why both soccer teams deserved your attention, but in hindsight, this result puts it better than I ever could. 1-2 down to the top-ranked team in the country, and this team's response is to blitzkrieg. Maryland played fast, and when pressed they played dirty. And the Wake players responded by playing faster. The defense held solid for most of the night against a dangerous front line, the midfield completely overran Maryland in the second half, and the front line played discipline with regards to tracking back for defensive assignments AND finishing up front.
And the bottom line going forward: while I'm not sure Wake would be happy seeing Maryland again (the game could get dirty quickly), if Wake plays at the level it played the second half it might not matter - that team could and would beat anyone in the country, and would rightfully be favored to win the ACC Tournament (which Vidovich strangely has never won) and NCAA Tournament.
Tomorrow night, the Wake women's team plays... Maryland! Hopefully they can channel that same mojo and run roughshod over the Terps. The teams are fairly evenly matched; Maryland won in Winston in September 2-1, but only created three chances all game, while Wake dominated possession. Our ladies are equally worthy of your attention (actually being the higher-ranked of the two squads). The game is the second ACC Tournament semifinal and will be held in Cary at Wake-Med something-or-other at 7:30. If you don't otherwise have plans, I implore you to round up some friends and make the drive over to cheer on the Deacs. I promise, they're worth your time.

Austin firefighters are continuing their investigation into a house fire in east Austin that sent seven people, including three children, to the hospital.
Monday afternoon AFD investigators combed through charred debris following an early morning house fire in the 2100 block of East 14th Street.
"Fire (was) coming from almost all the doors and windows," says AFD Batalion Chief Palmer Buck.
Crews arrived to a chaotic situation just before 5:30 a.m. and were told that several people were still inside the home. They fought flames to rescue two girls, ages 16 and 11.
Two people, who were sleeping in a small shed on the property, helped several others inside the house break through windows to get out.
"Extended family members broke out windows with their hands trying to get in," said Buck.
A neighbor told FOX 7 that one man was badly hurt while trying to make it out.
"His whole face was all cut up, pretty bad. Everybody's pretty bad. All you can do just keep y'all prayers and thoughts with them," said the woman.
Firefighters say seven people were inside the home and all of them were taken to hospitals for burns and smoke inhalation. Firefighters told FOX 7 this fire serves as a reminder of why it's critical to have an exit plan.
"Having an evacuation plan: Do you know two ways to get out of your house? Two ways to get out of every room in the house? And then where are you going to go when you get out of the house? Having a meeting place where everyone can get together and you can account for everybody," Buck said.
Neighbor Demetrius O'Conner took the opportunity to remind his kids about fire safety.
"When I heard about the kids, it made me think of all the kids here and I want to make sure they're practicing safe habits," he said.
Those are the habits firefighters are reminding everyone about now that colder weather has arrived.
"Along with the smoke detectors, some common sense tips in winter heating: make sure your heating and A/C is in good shape, if you're using space heaters make sure they're the newer type that have safety precautions, space, three feet."
The 16 and 11-year-old girls were taken to a burn unit in Galveston. A pregnant 16-year-old and a 65-year-old man were taken to BAMC in San Antonio. Three others, two 19-year-olds and a 13-year-old were taken to Brackenridge and Dell Children's Medical Center and have since been released.
Firefighters say they did not find any working smoke detectors in the home. They have not ruled out all possible accidental causes, but have not ruled out arson either. Investigators are asking that anyone with information contact AFD.

Portland police need your help to track down the driver who hit and killed a man Wednesday night.
Investigators say 60-year-old David Eklund was walking in a crosswalk at Southeast 71st and Powell Boulevard about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday when the driver struck him and took off.
Witnesses said the driver briefly stopped after the crash, then left the scene. Police say he was last seen heading westbound on Powell Boulevard in a black SUV.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries and died a short time later.
"I'm hoping somebody catches the person. Yes, you made a mistake but you killed my husband," said Eklund's wife, Cindy.
The Traffic Division Major Crash Team was on scene for several hours trying to piece together what happened.
The suspect vehicle is described as a small, dark-colored SUV. It is not known what type of body damage may exist on the SUV.
The driver is described as a white man in his 30s or 40s with short, black hair.
If you have any information about the crash, you're asked to call Portland police at 503-823-2103.

Beach clean-up offers new skills
12:32pm Saturday 29th March 2014 in News
BAGS OF FUN: Lisa Marie Clayton, Jessica Thomas, Natasha Bradbury, Sophie Pierce (youth worker), Josh Howells, Donna Young (youth worker), Daniel Freeman, Hayley Barrett (PCNPA), Terrie Crout, Naomi Fellows, and Gareth Bridges. (4853753)
EIGHT young people from Milford Haven bagged themselves some new skills recently, when they spent the day cleaning up the coast with the national park.
On Wednesday, March 12, the GET IT project from Milford Youth Matters went out with rangers from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA) for a day of volunteering.
With the sun shining the group, made up of eight young people and two youth workers, couldn't have picked a better day to head out to Dale Fort for a day of conserving the coastal path.
Everybody got stuck in, with tasks including widening and flattening the path, cutting back hedges and sawing down trees.
And after a well-deserved lunch break, the volunteers swept the beach for rubbish, filling an 14 bags full of flotsam.
Hayley Barrett, PCNPA ranger, had only positive feedback for the group of volunteersL
"Thank-you to Milford Haven Youth Matters for their hard work helping to maintain the well-loved coast path near Dale Fort.
"As well as levelling out the path and clearing back vegetation, they removed an impressive 14 bags of rubbish from Castle Bay as part of the winter storm clear-up."
GET IT helps people young people aged 16 to 25 who are not in employment, education or training to gain essential skills and help them into work.
As well as tidying up the countryside, members have been getting involved in a range of community projects. They will soon be helping take care of the animals at Greenacres rescue centre, near Talbenny, and in June will host their own jobs fair.

The Register-News
---- — Whatever the National Security Agency was doing with Angela Merkel's cellphone number for the past 10 years may have been poorly conceived — even reckless — but it didn't violate U.S. law.
No violation of U.S. law is associated with the collection by the NSA's Signals Intelligence Directorate (SID) — as disclosed by The Guardian newspaper last month — of phone numbers of foreign government officials and politicians. Nor is it illegal for the NSA to receive from French and Spanish security agencies for storage and possible analysis millions of numbers of their citizens.
Recent public disclosures made possible by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden's downloading of thousands of documents have focused on the NSA's gathering records of foreign leaders or their nations' citizens. Several disclosures have been timed to coincide with Secretary of State John Kerry's visits to certain countries.
As Congress considers reforms in the NSA's collection of electronic intelligence, the focus should be on legislation protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens, not foreigners overseas, no matter who the foreigners are or what positions they hold.
"Reform," according to Webster's New World Dictionary, is "to make better by removing faults and defects" or "to make better by putting a stop to abuses or malpractices or by introducing better procedures."
Lawmakers should realize that they are dealing with intelligence gathering and, in many cases, with spying and other clandestine operations that are illegal in the countries in which they take place. Members should also remember this phrase: "Nations have no permanent friends and no permanent enemies — only permanent interests."
Under the U.S. Constitution, the president, as both commander in chief of the armed forces and maker of foreign policy, runs the nation's intelligence operations. Congress has an oversight function and, through legislation, can seek to limit what the intelligence community does, especially when U.S. citizens are involved or the actions are occurring on U.S. territory.
NSA officials routinely refer to Presidential Executive Order 12333 as the "foundational" authority for their collection, retention, analysis and dissemination of foreign signal intelligence information. That order serves as a basis for collecting communications by foreign persons that occur outside the United States.
The United States isn't the only country with an intelligence agency carrying out electronic intercepts on a vast scale, though the United States may be the only country that has multiple forms of internal oversight — executive, congressional and judicial — supervising such operations. The United States may also be one of the few countries that limits, through law, the interception of its citizens' phone calls or electronic messages unless authorized by a court.
When U.S. citizens' communications are intercepted by operations aimed at foreign intelligence targets, there are ways to minimize — or remove — their identities.

@burcidi-- That's a good question, I don't have an exact answer for it.
But I wrote a paper on this for my class and I learned during my research that respiratory arrest is the second cause of death for cocaine/crack abusers. So a significant proportion of cocaine related deaths must be due to the failure of the lungs.
The primary cause of death however is cardiac arrest, so basically a heart attack or stroke that causes the heart to stop.

text: I have to go with EJ Manuel on this one. The FSU QB stood out in all the drills and arguably had the best day of all the QB's. There's absolutely no way, in my mind, that he lasts past the 2nd round and I would "reach" for him with the 34th pick. He'll serve as a nice backup QB to groom behind Alex Smith/Nick Foles/Matt Cassel for a year or two, and then he'll be ready. Appears to be a very intelligent young man and I've heard displays great leadership. (Tavon Austin would have been nice here, but no doubt he's locked himself into the top 30 after today.)

Big Break From Bush on 'State Secrets' Unlikely Under Obama
Thursday, April 09, 2009 at 12:01 am
In an interview that aired Wednesday night on the CBS Evening News, Attorney General Eric Holder suggested to Katie Couric that the Obama administration is unlikely to depart dramatically from the Bush administration's position on the use of the state secrets privilege, noting just one case out of about 20 currently under review in which the Justice Department is seriously considering changing its stance. He did not say which case that was.
Most likely, the reversal won't come in the case of Jewel v. NSA, because Holder's Justice Department Friday again broadly asserted the "state secrets" privilege as a grounds for dismissing the case, brought by AT&T customers alleging the government used dragnet surveillance to monitor the domestic telephone communications of millions of ordinary Americans.
The Department of Justice – first under President George W. Bush and now under President Obama – has repeatedly invoked this executive privilege, which allows the president to prevent public disclosure of evidence in court by claiming that its release would endanger national security. And increasingly, the Department of Justice has used the privilege not only to prevent public disclosure of documents, but to dismiss entire cases brought by victims of illegal policies, claiming that the subject matter of the case itself is a state secret, and that even the judge shouldn't review the documents in private. A recent report by the Constitution Project, a bipartisan think tank, found that the Bush administration used the privilege to seek "blanket dismissal of every case challenging the constitutionality of specific, ongoing government programs" in 92 percent more cases per year than in the previous decade.
Last night, Holder told Couric that after he took over the attorney general's office, he asked lawyers in the Justice Department to see "if there's a way where we can be more surgical, whether there is a way in which we can share more information." The state secrets privilege, he said, is appropriately invoked "at certain times", but "I want to make sure that we only do it where it's absolutely necessary. I would only apply the doctrine where national security was at stake, where the lives of the American people were at stake," he said.
Yet it's difficult to see that standard at work in the recent cases where the Justice Department has invoked the state secrets privilege.
For example, in a federal court in San Francisco on Friday, the Obama Justice Department moved to dismiss the Jewel case based in part on the state secrets privilege. The AT&T customers who filed suit, represented by the Electronic Freedom Foundation, claim the National Security Agency illegally intercepted their calls and obtained their phone records as part of a broad-reaching, ongoing national security surveillance program and in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution, the separation of powers doctrine and federal statutes.
In its legal brief filed with the court, the government's lawyers claim the case must be dismissed because allowing it to go forward at all would disclose information about the NSA surveillance program, which is itself a state secret. Disclosure of the information the customers want to see, claims the government, "which concerns how the United States seeks to detect and prevent terrorist attacks, would cause exceptionally grave harm to national security," Justice Department lawyers said in their filing.
This is the second attempt by ordinary AT&T customers to learn more about the government's secret domestic wiretapping program and to hold the government or a company that assisted it accountable. An earlier case, also brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation against AT&T itself, was quashed when, after the Bush administration had made the state secrets arguments in court, Congress passed a law granting immunity to AT&T and other telecommunications companies from lawsuits from customers who claimed the companies helped the government spy on them.
The broad use of the state secrets privilege to dismiss entire court cases challenging unlawful government actions has outraged civil liberties and open government groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Center for Constitutional Rights. Such advocates had counted on Obama's promises in the first days of his presidency to run a more transparent government than his predecessor. But the Obama Justice Department already, in several cases seeking information about Bush administration counter-terrorism activities, has invoked the state secrets privilege to prevent the disclosure of critical evidence.
For example, in Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama, which TWI has been following, the Obama administration asserted that the Bush administration's domestic warrantless wiretapping program, or Terrorist Surveillance Program, is a state secret that cannot be revealed without endangering national security. Never mind that President George W. Bush had himself acknowledged the program's existence, and President Obama has said it is no longer operative.
And in Mohammed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, which TWI first wrote about in January, the Obama administration asserted the state secrets privilege to seek dismissal of a case brought by five victims of the Bush administration's "extraordinary rendition" program — which transferred prisoners to foreign countries for interrogation under torture. In that case, the victims, including Binyam Mohamed, the British resident I've written about, sued the subsidiary of Boeing that allegedly assisted the CIA in its torture program. The Bush administration immediately swooped in and convinced the federal court to dismiss the case because the now-defunct extraordinary rendition program is supposedly a "state secret." In February, the Obama administration, to the surprise of even some of the judges sitting on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that day, continued to maintain that argument.
During last night's interview, Couric asked Holder whether he thought the state secrets doctrine had been abused by the Bush administration.
"Well, I don't know," said Holder. "On the basis of the two, three cases we've had to review so far, I think that the invocation of the doctrine was correct. We – reversed – are in the process of looking at one case. But I think we're very likely to reverse it."
Presumably, the three cases he's referring to are the Jewel, Al-Haramain and Jeppesen Dataplan. But Holder went on to say that there have been more than 20 such assertions in cases that are still open. He added that a report on the Justice Department's use of the privilege is being prepared, and his "hope is to be able to share the results of that report with the American people."
Marc Ambinder, who obtained an early transcript of the interview, wrote Wednesday in The Atlantic that a senior Justice Department official "declined to elaborate" on in which case Holder was planning to reverse the department's position.
Congress, meanwhile, may not leave the matter in Holder's hands. In February, Rep. Jerold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and several co-sponsors introduced the State Secrets Protection Act of 2009, which would require a federal judge to look at the disputed evidence rather than dismiss the case outright based solely on the government's assertion that its disclosure would endanger national security. A parallel bill was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and has six co-sponsors.

There are at least two major problems with the state secrets defense.
First, the defense has no checks and balances that are effective. There is no way to assess whether the defense is a fig leaf to prevent embarrassment or a cover up of wrong doing, or a way to prevent valid criticism. That means it needs definition, oversight and control.
Second, because of the first above, the over use of the defense causes citizens to lose faith in their government. We all know that a democracy depends on an informed citizenry. If you're not informed how can you participate. If you know because of the assertion of "state secrets" that you don't know the facts, and if you can't trust the government because of too many "state secrets" defences then you have no faith in government.
Obama is fast falling into this trap. He is very popular. I'm sure he is human and likes that. The question is, will he do what is right even though it is hard and unpopular, and might even expel him from the most exclusive fraternity in the world, namely the Presidents of the US fraternity.
President Lincoln must at one point in his Presidency faced the question of going to war with the South, and thought, "Why me. Why must I take on this terrible question of cessation from the union and slavery."
"I wonder if there is a way I can ignore this question. What if I start the war and lose? How can I go to war and kill thousands of former citizens and countrymen?" All of these fears and concerns would have been very natural, but he chose to do the right thing no matter how hard it was.
President Obama has the same choice. He can be a Leader and do what is right regardless of whether it is popular or not. Or, he can be a charismatic politician, solve some problems, but never the crucial problem of the destruction of our liberties or of the abuses of basic human values and actions.
If he chooses to be a leader he will drastically cut back the state secrets defense use. He will overhaul it to ensure that there is a check on its abuse.
He will investigate the torture problem and prosecute those that are to have found to have broken the law.
He will re-examine the Patriot Act (Gad I hate that name) and remove all the provisions that violate the Constitution.
In short he will demonstrate by his actions that terrorism will not change the US, or destroy our values, or frighten us into changing out way of life.
He will become a leader who by HIS ACTIONS leads, and not a charismatic politician that talks but does not act, or one that acts on the easier problems and neglects the essential long impact ones.
He will become a leader that does not confine people and hold and treat them like they are guilty until we get around, if ever, to proving them guilty.
He will not tolerate the interference with justice by simply saying "state secret".

Does any one really think any politician is going to give up any power that was previously given? All we did in the last election was change the names and political parties. The abuse of our Constitution will continue until such time as this country returns to a time where the people govern, instead of the bought and paid for politicians we have now.

TILLMAN COUNTY, Okla._Supporters of the "liquor by the drink" proposal that failed in Tillman County by only four votes have asked for a recount. The Tillman County Citizens for Progress thought putting liquor by the drink on the ballot was something the citizens of Tillman County were ready for.
Chairman Ben Crawford said putting liquor by the drink on the ballot is something Tillman County residents have talked about for more than ten years, in a county that's economic development has been declining for years. He believes this would have been a step forward.
Crawford said they had a lot of support in Frederick where the proposal passed with 51% of the vote in favor, "Outside of Frederick we had a hard time getting to some people and that's where we lost our vote and hopefully they'll see this and maybe think again."
Crawford said they didn't want to oversell the proposal. "We tried to keep it low key and stay nice as possible. We lost, so we're going to second guess everything we did, but we think we got the word out."
The committee didn't look at this measure as a moral issue; they knew that several churches and a lot of residents probably would have though. Several Frederick residents felt that it should have passed. One resident believes they are losing business as a result, "It's losing a lot of business I think from not having liquor by the drink in town."
"I think Frederick would've benefited out of it and it's a sad thing that we keep thinking about the past and that's why this town isn't growing," said another resident in favor of the proposal passing.
Crawford said he isn't aware of any current restaurants in Frederick that would've taken advantage of liquor by the drink but prospective restaurant wouldn't even consider coming to Tillman County.
"We don't know what will happen if we pass liquor by the drink, there's no guarantees, but we know we're not going to get those establishments if we don't pass it and the sales tax revenue that comes along with it," said Crawford.
Only twenty percent of Tillman County voters came out to vote but that is considered a good voter turnout compared to other elections. The election board is planning on re-counting the votes sometime next week, if the conclusion is the same, the committee will have to wait two years to put it back on the ballot.

Thin may be in by society's standards, but new research shows some adults who carry a little extra weight may live longer than their thinner counterparts.
Here's Health Plus with details.
High school students Maggie O'Connor and Ally McCarvel take exercising seriously.
The girls work out at Covenant Wellness Center in Waterloo during their off-season from sports.
"I come here maybe a couple times a week. I did in the summer a lot more, but now I'm just getting in shape for soccer season," said Maggie.
"During the summer, before the summer, I kind of have a little bit more motivation just because summer is coming," said Ally.
Now comes a new study suggesting packing on a few extra pounds may be healthier for you in the long run.
But one local fitness expert says not so fast.
"You know there are studies for certain people especially the older population, 60, 70, 80-year-olds, that carrying a little more fat is more healthier for them. They don't want to be super thin because they need it to survive. But I don't want people to take it the wrong way either that carrying excessive fat on your body is healthy because it isn't," said Covenant Rehabilitation and Wellness Manager Sheri Purdy.
Purdy says the bottom line is exercising and eating right are essential for healthy weight management, but admits your body mass index or BMI isn't always the best measure.
"But there is that 10% of the population that it isn't going to be accurate on especially for women who are small and have a large body mass index or large body muscle mass percentage especially for men who are extremely short or short," she said.
As for these high school girls, they say no study is going to keep them from the physical and emotional boost they get from working out and keeping their weight down.
"I feel good. It makes me feel good because I can like keep up with my teammates and stuff but when I don't I just feel lazy but I know that nothing's wrong with me like I am perfectly fine but you know sometimes it's nice to be like more in shape," said Maggie.
"I think it's important for young people to stay in shape because they are just going to be overall happier with themselves and going to live a more healthier lifestyle and be happy," said Ally.
Your BMI is a measure of body fat based on your height and weight.
