text: Minorities Face the Brunt of Raising Temperatures By abhatPosted June 7, 2013 7:52 am Racial groups are more likely to live in neighborhoods dominated by heat-absorbing hard surfaces, finds a UC Berkeley study. Such tree-deprived landscapes magnify the effects of heat waves. By Sarah Yang, UC Berkeley Media Relations Some racial groups are more likely to bear the brunt of extreme heat waves because of where they live, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. The findings, published May 14 in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, highlight racial disparities at a time when the frequency and intensity of extreme heat waves is expected to increase with climate change. Researchers used satellite imagery data to identify areas where there is no tree canopy to provide shade, and where half or more of the land is covered by heat-absorbing hard surfaces, such as pavement, concrete or roofing materials. Such land characteristics put residents at greater risk when the mercury rises because they exacerbate the heat, the study authors said. The authors used U.S. Census data to reveal that the heat-prone neighborhoods were disproportionately populated by African Americans, Asians and Hispanics. Compared with their white counterparts, African Americans were about 50 percent more likely to live in these communities, while Hispanics were 37 percent and Asians a third more likely to do so. "This study highlights a mechanism by which racial and ethnic minorities will likely suffer more from the effects of climate change," said study lead author Bill Jesdale, research associate in UC Berkeley's Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management. "It may not be surprising that minorities live in inner cities, but this is the first paper to assess what that means in terms of heat vulnerability at a national level." Rachel Morello-Frosch, a professor with joint appointments at the College of Natural Resources and the School of Public Health and the study principal investigator, noted that regional studies have identified similar trends, but seeing this residential segregation on a national scale was surprising. "Segregation tends to concentrate racial and ethnic minorities into more densely populated urban areas," she said. "While some of this residential choice is based upon preference, a lot is based upon where people can afford to live." Some steps that city planners can take to ameliorate the impact of climate change include planting more trees and lightening the coloring of roofs and pavements. When possible, replacing harder surfaces with more permeable materials can also help, the authors said. "Planting trees and changing the heat-absorbing characteristics of our built environment may be crucial to protecting our public's health by mitigating heat risks, particularly in densely populated central areas of cities," said Jesdale.Share this:ShareFacebook Filed under: Articles

sugar sweet sunshine bakery and other cupcake ramblings..
- j
- junglekitte Mar 12, 2006 03:35 PM
so whats the big deal about all these cupcake places? last year i tried magnolia bakery when i was here on holiday. the cupcakes were down right awful! dry as can be...
today i walked by 'sugar sweet sunshine' in the lower east side. there was a huge line of young hipsters waiting to get cupcakes and coffee. so i bought a pumpkin, coconut, and red velvet to bring home. these cupcakes were at least moist...but completely lacked in flavor. the only good thing i can say about them was the frosting on the pumpkin cupcake. the other two frostings were awful and all three cupcakes were completely devoid of any flavor.
so why do these places have lines of people buying these things?
It's a great question you ask, junglekitte. I wish I knew the answer. I will say this though: people's taste in cupcakes seems to vary pretty wildly. There are at least a few spots that have their devotees and detractors in just about equal proportion. SSS seems to fare pretty well, on the whole (and I will say that you could have done a lot worse). But people still go back, even if they're not huge fans of the cupcakes.
I was hoping for a big gingerbread fad, but I'm still waiting on it.

re: Nosher
ooohhhh! i love gingerbread and never know where to buy it...what's your favorite?
My Sugar Sweet Sunshine was a horrible experience: An obnoxious staffer served me awful hot chocolate and a mediocre cupcake that I ate cramped into their awkward space that uncomfortably seats maybe 10 people.
Funny, I've had far better experiences at Sugar Sweet Sunshine. Tasty pistachio and chocolate cupcakes; a good apple crisp. I've ordered birthday cakes from there several times (expensive, but great it. My wife practically demands them.) The owners are very, well, very sweet.
Can't disagree about the seating. When you can get a seat, it's a good place to hang, nice scene. I've met some pretty interesting folks there. When you can't...well, you can't. Is it worth waiting in a line out the door??? Well, practically nothing is, but I see people all over town in line for some bar, club or restaurant, so what do I know??
re: xavier
Funny how your experience with SSS is the exact opposite from mine.
The cakes and cupcakes are ok, but nothing to drool over - I never buy from SSS because I crave their stuff but only for convenience. As for the service, is absolutely terrible, rarely have I encoutered such snotty atitude.
But going back to the cupcakes - I suggest a blindfold taste of their cupcakes. I'm not sure you'll be able to tell the pistachio from the yellow cake etc. Chocolate (cocoa) may be the only flavor that comes through, but other than that...
Sorry, just my opinion.
re: cupcakeFANatic
I agree with you about the Cupcake Cafe! I was so excited to try it with my kids (in combination with a trip to Books of Wonder), and was SO disappointed. The cupcakes were very heavy, dry and/or stale. Tasted like they were made days before. WTF?!?
Oh well, the bookstore was wonderful anyway.
re: parkslopemama
Cupcake Cafe uses shortening in their frosting instead of butter, hence the lack of flavor.
re: EmilyG
yup. their frosting is one of the more disgusting things that i've tasted in recent memory.
re: cupcakeFANatic
When is Kitchenette opening on the UWS? Has it opened yet?
My favorite things at SSS aren't the cupcakes. The yellow cake with yellow frosting is great, and the coconut cream cake (or whatever their coconut cake is) is diabetes-inducing sugar heaven. Pumpkin trifle is also awesome.
Link: http://flickr.com/photos/roboppy/3999...
re: Robyn
I'll agree with this and Big O's related comment; the layer cakes are much, much better than the cupcakes at SSS.
Link: http://nycnosh.com
re: Nosher
the yellow cakes and trifle are outstanding, and so is the piggy pudding.
After walking around a bit on Saturday and having a nice little lunch at Loreley, I hoofed it over to Suger Sweet Sunshine, got a big-ass piece of the coconut cake (and a cup of coffee) and plopped myself down at the table up against the window (a seat which I've been able to get every single time I've ever been to SSS).
I love killing an hour there that way -- slowly putting down the cake and watching the crowd pass by the window.
The pumpking cake (I believe with cream cheese frosting) is also really good. Lemon is the only cupcake flavor that I've enjoyed.
Tried Sugar Sweet Sunshine and some place in the UWS this week for cupcakes. Without going into detail, we have yet to find a good or great cupcake in NYC. There, we said it!
ok i did it! i took a walk over to rivington after being away for the last year and tried another cup cake place. im a fan but i dont usually go out of my way for one....
I've been reading a lot on chowhound lately get caught up! i kept seeing SSS
so i tried it out. OMG- is by far the best cupcake place in the city of course IMHO.
I gobbled down one pumpkin cupcake with creamcheese frosting and one lemon cake with buttercreme frosting! ok i felt a little sick afterwards but it was worth it!
re: iforman2001
i've been!
i love the refrigerator cake and the bananna cake etc!
The pistachio cupcake is the only one that isnt overly cloying, the frosting is pretty mellow. Surprisingly the coconut cream pie is not as horrifically sweet as one would expect. And if you want to go all out - piggy pudding, hands down.
I think it is a matter of preference as to what kind of cupcake you like ,and they run the gamut here so if you're experienced, you can find something that is good for everyone. The counter help is another story. 9/10 you get someone nice. But every few visits, you get a person who just can't be bothered, and I've literally had plastic bags thrown at me when I've asked for them on rainy days. You're making cupcakes...not saving the world. Get over yourselves!

LINCOLN COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- The alleged victim in a simple battery investigation is speaking out about his run-in with Larry Campbell.
Shaun Glass sent News 12 a letter. In it he said: "I will be contacting the Campbell family to allow Mr. Campbell to apologize as I know he deeply wants to do. This is a respectable family who deserves that right just as my family deserves the right not to be judged in the court of public opinion based on rumors and gossip."
News 12 talked with Glass who said he had been able to get in touch with the family, but would not provide details of what they talked about. Right now, Campbell is out on bond after Lincolnton police officers charged him with simple battery. Glass said he is not the one who called for Lincolnton police officers and was not the one who pressed charges.
Campbell and his attorney, Vic Hawk, delivered an apology Friday at Hawk's law office in Augusta.

You can quickly and easily cut or delete the current line. Just do one of the suggestions below.
Begin any operation by placing your cursor anywhere on the line:
Use CTRL + L to cut only the text on the line without the carriage return at the end.
Or use SHIFT + DEL or CTRL + X to cut the line and the carriage return at the end.
If you want to DELETE the line instead you can use CTRL + SHIFT + L.
I'm able to do this in VS2012 as well, but I don't see much of a difference between Ctrl + L and Ctrl + Shift + L, both remove the entire line and the carriage return at the end.
Arun -- if you re-read the specifics, you'll see that CTRL-L places the line's content into your clipboard, while CTRL-SHIFT-L does not.

Mircea Eliade wrote a book titled 'The Sacred And The Profane.' In this book you'll find some interesting ideas about how one person can identify an object as being sacred and another person can look upon the same object and see nothing more than what it is literally. He uses a rock as an example of this. One person could see a magical stone that was placed where it is by something divine (a hierophany), and another person will see the rock as a big hunk of sediment sitting inert.
I see my emotions, happy, sad and otherwise, when I look at an object I have knit. Yet, the person who gets that piece will likely never see those emotions. They are there, but only for me to see. I believe this is why it's difficult to be around someone when they receive something I have spent a long time working on.
since I'll be taking off for 1842 shortly - and doubt I'll be around much before tuesday....
Drat! the mp3 file can't be attached. Oh well.
Never mind. I was gonna sing you all a Christmas carol - but the forum won't let me.
So - instead - I give you Toast for the New Year
Man, when I see all of the things you guys can do, I feel like such a rookie. I've been at it for like 1-2 years now. I'm still working on perfectin socks and booties. I did whip up an ipod kewzie (?spelling) from Men with Balls book last night for one of my son's friends. He though it was cool, but geez, the way you guys can just whip out a sweater, a vest, intricate socks, just blows me away. The only bad thing about the internet is that you guys are all so far away. I wish we could have a convention sometime where 50-100 of us could all meet. I have really gotten encouragement, love, and some common bonds shared with many of you. I love and thank you all for it. I wish everyone the Merriest of Christmases. I hope everyone gets what they want! I wish all of you a happy new year and I hope to continue with our discussions and blogs for years to come. God Bless you all.
Just finished and delivered the third of the Christmas stockings... just made the deadline. I was getting ready to deliver the last one and realized that I had duplicate stitched "Jenie" instead of "Jennie" across the top of the sock. WHAT a nightmare. Anyway...3 1945 Vintage stockings done for a very appreciative family. Those who asked for the pattern, please send me a message to my inbox with your address. I did make some copies.
Hey guys!! How are you all? I haven't posted anything here in a long time. Guess I've been really busy. I hope everyone is having a happy holiday season and looking forward to a wonderful christmas this year.
I've been really busy knitting up a bunch of skinny scarfs, caps and bags and my latest venture is trying to start up a men's knitting group in my hometown. I've posted an ad about it on craigslist, but I'm not sure if anyone around where I live will take interest. We'll see.
My latest project happens to be a crocheted project. I am trying to make myself a knitting bag since I can't seem to find anything around town or online that I like. It seems like all of the knitting bags that are available are made for women (boo!). So I've dug out my camouflage yarn and am attempting to make something that a guy like me won't be embarrassed to tote around.
Anyway that's what I'm up do for now. I'll check back in later... oh by the way guys I love to read all of your posts on here... especially when I'm out and about I can surf to this site on my cellphone and read up on what you guys are doing. I love it. Keep writing and knitting and showing what your making. It
This is the last gift. It is a teddy bear for my 3 1/2 year old nephew. This lucky bear is also wearing the first sweater I have ever completed. He's not perfect. I know where the errors are. His eyes are also a bit crooked and I could have done more with the mouth. But I think he looks just right.
Hey guys - I saw this on a website... http://kehinde.com/blog/?p=214
Ivy's blog - had this fantastic post (I am guessing how many of us would even consider doing this!)
here's her entry:
The 2007 Knit From Your Stash Challenge
December 21st, 2006
I know I like challanges, but I think this will be the hardest. Harder than NaNo. Harder than the Knitting Olympics. This is the brainchild of Wendy from Wendy Knits. Her criteria for the challange is here. The basic idea is, don't buy yarn, knit from stash for 2007. I'm going to be crochetting from stash as well since I mean to crochet more in 2007. Her rules state that the challange is adaptable, so here are mine.
1. The Knit-From-Your-Stash-a-Thon will start January 1, 2007 and run through December 31, 2007.
2. I will not buy any yarn or spinning fiber during that period, with the following exceptions:
2.a. Subscription yarn and fiber doesn't count. This would mean the sock-of-the-month club, the roving-of-the-month club, the Koigu club, and the fleeces for my adopted sheep are all good to go.
2.b. I can buy yarn to make gifts if I really don't have anything appropriate in stash or if a specific item is requested that I can't make from stash.
These are also Christmas gifts that have been done for a while. Good ol' Cascade 220 for these and the fur was some Berroco something or other. The attached pics show one completed and one in progress.
Somehow or other, these yarns found their way into my stash via the net. Wish I knew a cure!
The greeen is alpaca laceweight from the Etsy shop Pancake and Lulu and the other two are merino laceweight from Grand River Yarns in Ontario.
Okay, so here's the deal. This is my first Christmas knitting and as a result, my first Christmas gifting knitting.
I've finished 4 sets of clogs for all the kids and I'm working on a scarf for my, um, my, what-do-I-call-her? - my partner's ex-wife (okay, that's your first assignment...what do I call her...and be careful, we have a great relationship!)
Anyway, I digress (as usual)
So, I've done the math and unless I knit 17 1/2 hours a day between now and Christmas morning, the scarf is not going to be completed.
What are some creative ways that you way-above-average creative guys have communicated an unfinished gift?
Thanks in advance,

After the Spokane Chiefs took the day off on Wednesday and caught some well-deserved rest, I caught up with coach Bill Peters at Eagles Ice-A-Rena today after the Chiefs' practice.
Read below for my unedited notebook that will run tomorrow.
More from my conversation with Santa Clara coach Kerry Keating and a couple of items from the S-R's weekly college basketball page in extended entry below.
Nearly all of the snowed out Greater Spokane League basketball games have been rescheduled, some under Friday Night Lights.
Tomorrow night's games are Gonzaga Prep at Ferris, boys at 5 p.m. and girls at 6:30; Mead at Lewis and Clark, boys only, and Rogers at Mt. Spokane at the originally scheduled times.
Saturday, Central Valley hosts North Central, girls at 2 p.m., boys at 3:45, Mead vs. Shadle Park at SFCC, 2 and 4 p.m. (boys first), Gonzaga Prep at LC, 2 p.m., boys only, and East Valley at University, regularly scheduled times.
LC boys continue their journey of six games in eight days Monday at home as part of a doubleheader against Rogers, boys 5:30, girls 7:15.
Shadle and EV play at North Central on Feb. 5. Tentatively, Ferris will host U-Hi girls at 3 p.m. and boys at 4:45, and LC girls will host Mead on Feb. 9 at 3 to end the regular season. Tigers and Panthers are the GSL's top two girls teams.
What if they played a basketball game and nobody came? Would it make a sound? Let's ask philosophy professor Edwin W. Watt. Professor? "No." Would it count in the Pac-10 standings? "Yes." Thanks professor Watt.
Sorry, the snow is causing dementia here in Pullman, at least for me. WSU is shutting down this morning, but I've been told by an athletic department spokesman tonight's 7 p.m. basketball game will go on as scheduled as long as the officials and teams can get to Beasley. Read on for more.
It wasn't by design, but a force of nature, that put basketball on vacation, so it's time to heat up the stove.
No games Tuesday, maybe no games tomorrow. What's a fan to do?
The Coeur d'Alene and Lake City boys basketball teams face off Thursday - weather permitting of course.
Click the tab below to see a blog-only advance on the game.
UPDATED Wednesday, 1:30 p.m.
Click the tab below to see some notes on North Idaho girls and boys basketball.
The 4A Region I girls tournament opener that was postponed until Wednesday - Moscow at Sandpoint - has been postponed one more night to Thursday because of weather.
With the forecast calling for the region to be buried again Wednesday into Thursday, there's a good chance that the regional opener along with other events will be postponed.
The bad news is beginning to pile up for new football coach Paul Wullf. Though there have been a multitude of verbal commitments for next year, a couple of the current defensive players – both starters at times last season – have run afoul of the law.
There is also a little basketball news this morning. And I wonder how much snow will fall today and whether it will throw a kink into Cal's travel.
The only thing falling faster than the snow is the high school sporting events in the area.
We have tried to verify cancelled or postponed events in the area. Click here for the complete list of sporting events.
Click on extended entry below for our day-after post on the Gonzaga-Portland game and a roundup of other WCC games from Monday.
Read on below for my unedited Gonzaga-Portland game story and come back tomorrow morning for our day-after post.
Gonzaga (16-5, 5-0 WCC)is alone in first place after San Diego upset visiting Saint Mary's 63-55 tonight. The Toreros and Saint Mary's are both 4-1. More here on USD's big win.
Gonzaga's David Pendergraft and Josh Heytvelt combined for 27 points as the Bulldogs took a 39-22 halftime lead against Portland on Monday night.
The Zags scored 11 of the last 13 points to close the half, seven of those coming from Pendergraft.
Portland's Nik Raivio, younger brother of ex-Zag Derek Raivio, made just 1 of 5 shots and scored 2 points.
They're back on top.
The Spokane Chiefs, whose nine-week reign atop the Western Hockey League writer's poll ended last week, collected 11 of 17 first-place votes and 367 total points to regain the top ranking in the poll released Monday by the Western Major Junior Hockey Writer's Association.
University of Idaho junior guard Mike Hall has been named the Western Athletic Conference men's basketball player of the week for Jan. 21-27.
We don't shovel the snow on the deck off our bedroom. It's a summer place to sit, not a winter. So when I got home from Phoenix yesterday and saw the 14 inches of snow on that deck – it was clear when I left – I almost got right back on a plane to head south. Except the airport was closed. So here I am, stuck in my home, hoping I can get to the office today for a meeting concerning on-line issues. Hoping I don't get stuck in a snowdrift somewhere like the Southwest plane I saw while landing at Spokane International yesterday.
For those of you who wondered, the basketball team got home OK Saturday night. For those of you who asked about my thoughts on the Seattle Times stories concerning UW's football program under Rick Neuheisel, read on.
Click below for an unedited preview of the GU-Portland game that will run in Monday's S-R.
Also, here's John Blanchette's column on ex-Zag Richie Frahm and his journeyman career.
Back with our day-after Memphis post (it's a long one) and links of interest. We should have GU-Portland preview up later today.
Read on below.
Visiting Hawaii knocked off the Idaho men's basketball team Saturday, 58-53.
Click the tab below to read my unedited game story.
I'm at the Arena covering a Spokane Chiefs hockey game and wasn't able to keep tabs on Eastern's men's basketball team on the radio.
I did learn from an internet report, however, that the Eagles blew a 44-27 halftime lead and fell to Montana State 74-69 on the road.
It was quite a nailbiter at the end, but the Cougars pulled out a 56-55 victory against No. 24 Arizona State. Keep reading for my quick gamer.
One of the fun things to watch a couple of hours before game time us how different teams approach the warm-up ritual.
For example, ASU's players had some time before the assistant coaches stepped on the court. They used the minutes to perfect their 38-footers. Read on for more thoughts.
Gonzaga made repeated runs at Memphis, but couldn't overcome slow starts in each half and fell 81-73 to the top-ranked Tigers at the FedExForum on Saturday.
Gonzaga trailed by three at half and Memphis ran off nine of the first 11 points of the second half. GU would make a series of comebacks, getting within 46-41, 62-55 and again late when the Tigers struggled at the line. Gonzaga goet as close as six in the closing minutes.
But Memphis hit enough free throws to hold to improve to 19-0. Gonzaga's six-game winning streak came to an end. The Bulldogs dropped to 15-5.
Jeremy Pargo had 25 points and seven assists. Josh Heytvelt added 13 points and Micah Downs finished with 11.
Chris Douglas-Roberts scored 21 points for Memphis. Derrick Rose had 19 points and nine assists. Joey Dorsey had 9 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks, including a key one late on Matt Bouldin that he Dorsey completed with a dunk at the other end.
Check back for the game story in about 90 minutes.
One team will win and stay in second place. Another will lose and drop into what will probably be a logjam for third. Such is the story of today's Arizona State vs. Washington State game in Phoenix.
We'll be there. We'll have another post from the Arena. We'll give you links to the few advance stories available on the extended entry link.
Click the tab below to read my unedited game story. The Post Falls girls earned the second seed to the 5A Region I tournament with a win over Lake City on Friday.

To some sophomoric blog posters: I warned folks in a previous post dominated by chatter about high school baseball coaches and programs to knock off the garbage. So I killed out the post. Continue to cross the line and see what happens.

The Idaho men's basketball team, behind the record shooting of junior guard Mike Hall, earned their second Western Athletic Conference win in the same season under coach George Pfeifer, topping visiting San Jose State 74-63.
Hall made 9 of 10 3-point attempts, breaking the previous record set by Orlando Lightfoot (eight). Lightfoot made 8 of 11 attempts on Dec. 21, 1993, when he scored 50 points in a game at Gonzaga.
I'll post my game story in about 90 minutes.
You saw it. If you didn't, well, count your blessings if you're a Cougar fan. Now is your chance to comment on WSU's 76-64 loss at Arizona. We'll be back later with our game story.
The Spokane Chiefs get right back to it tomorrow night, kicking off a stretch of four games in five nights when they host the Seattle Thunderbirds at the Arena.
Read on for my unedited notebook that will run in tomorrow's section.
A few thoughts before the game starts (as I write this, it's still almost two hours to game time, but I've always been an early arriver) can be found on the full entry link.
In today's Prep Page of The Spokesman-Review I opined on the dilemma facing the Greater Spokane League 4A schools relevant to the reorganization in the Columbia Basin.
Next year there will be 11 4A schools in what is now the CBL and it will increase to 12, while the GSL will have 7 or maybe 6. School activities coordinators are worried what that might mean for the regionalization concept that began with wrestling in 1972, expanded to basketball in 1988 and subsequently carried over into football, cross country and track.
The Idaho men's basketball team plays host to San Jose State tonight and Hawaii on Saturday.
Click the tab for links to our Four Corners notes and other things.
Central Valley won the 13th Battle of the Bone wrestling match with rival University 34-27 Wednesday night, it's second in a row and fourth time overall since the trophy became part of the annual match.
East Valley also won, over Shadle Park both schools finishing with 9-1 records atop the Greater Spokane League at season's end.
As mentioned Wednesday night, Josh Heytvelt is the subject of our weekly Q & A on the Four Corners page.
Click below for more on Heytvelt and other links.
Memphis won its first game as the nation's top-ranked team, defeating Tulsa on Wednesday night.
Here's a link to the A.P. game story. Gonzaga takes on Memphis (18-0) on Saturday.
Check back here Thursday morning for a Q & A with GU's Josh Heytvelt.
The Spokane Shock announced today that wide receiver Mutsumi Takahashi has been assigned to their 2008 roster and defensive lineman Ben Siegert has been released from the team.
Most of the time right now the news is good around Pullman. Such is the case with the country's sixth-ranked basketball team and the optimism bred of a football coaching change. But Tuesday there was bad news from Tennessee ricocheting around the athletic department, the news about Rien Long's auto accident and his resultant injuries.
We have some more on that and other stuff on the extended entry link.
Seven dates remain on the Greater Spokane League basketball calender not counting those three season-ending 3A encounters, but the boys title race likely comes down to the next two games.
Ferris is at Mead and Shadle Park hosts Central Valley tonight at SFCC. Then the GSL's top two teams square off at SFCC on Thursday.
It's a strange phenomenon hurriedly putting together a game story, inserting a couple of quick quotes (including one fed to me by the S-R's John Blanchette) and sending it in about 25 minutes after the final buzzer.
And then going back and interviewing a couple more players. Something seems out of whack with that picture, but that's what 9 p.m. starts do to sports writers.
Anyway, we're back with the day-after post, notes, quotes, links if you read on below.
Gonzaga posted its sixth straight win, knocking off San Francisco 72-64 on Monday night and preventing Dons' interim coach Eddie Sutton from his 800th career win.
The Zags followed a familiar pattern, building a sizable second-half lead, only to see an opponent rally to make it interesting at the finish. That's happened in GU's previous three games played in Spokane (Utah, Georgia and San Diego), too.
Click below for my game story and check back in Tuesday morning for a day-after post.
As expected, Memphis moved into the top spot in both polls today. The unbeaten Tigers entertain Gonzaga on Saturday, but the Bulldogs have work to do before that showdown.
GU takes on San Francisco and interim head coach Eddie Sutton tonight at 9 at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
More notes on the polls and Sutton below.
Here we have Tony Bennett, Derrick Low, Kyle Weaver and Taylor Rochestie talking about the Cougars' win over the Ducks.

Beyond the jump is my quick gamer from Beasley Coliseum. I gotta go run to get some video.
A few hours before tipoff, the AFC playoff game – the only one available on cable in Pullman – is winding down and the golf tournament is nearing the end. And we have some thoughts.
Back with our day-after game post, following the Zags' 80-70 victory over San Diego on Saturday afternoon.
It will be an interesting upcoming stretch for the Bulldogs. On Monday night they face San Francisco and interim coach Eddie Sutton, who will be trying to become the fifth coach in NCAA history with 800 career wins. GU then has a showdown with likely No. 1 Memphis - North Carolina lost to Maryland - this Saturday in Memphis.
More notes, quotes and links in extended entry below. Come back later this afternoon for a GU-San Francisco preview.

This will (hopefully) be my last post on this matter, I think the players are ready to move on and I know I am.
Here's the final verdict in the Chris Bruton-Kyle Beach incident from last Wednesday. Bruton will serve the final of a two-game suspension tonight in Everett and Chiefs coach Bill Peters got slapped with a $500 fine for comments that he made to me in my follow-up stories.
Read on.
A couple of basketball notes and some from football, all based on today's news.

The high-flying College of Southern Idaho men's and women's basketball teams invade Rolly Williams Court on Saturday in Coeur d'Alene for a Scenic West Athletic Conference doubleheader against North Idaho College.
Good morning.
I'm not sure how many of you out there made it to the Eagles' 91-85 overtime men's basketball win over Northern Colorado at Reese Court on Thursday night, but those who didn't missed a special performance by an intriguing young player, junior guard Adris DeLeon.
DeLeon, a 5-foot-11 point guard and first-year transfer from College of Southern Idaho, hung 42 points on the Bears – the third-highest single-game total in school history – and seemed to have the time of his life in doing so.

Behind the jump is my quick gamer. I have to rush out to get video.
EDIT - The first paragraph of the brief didn't paste when I posted.
… from last night's game.
There is more to be addressed, like actual hockey stuff (i.e. the Chiefs' power play troubles, how Trevor Glass is doing, etc.), but after the drama that followed last night's game - and the emails I got today - I thought we'd talk about the punch. I'll have more on the other stuff tomorrow. Read on for my unedited story that will run tomorrow and a link to the infamous punch.
UPDATE: More 'hockey stuff' to come tomorrow, as I mentioned above, but I have added quotes and snippets of a story from Everett Herald's Nick Patterson. They are at the bottom of the post. Also, with all the mayhem, I forgot to mention that the Chiefs are still ranked No. 2 in the Canadian Hockey League.

If Jay John's job depends on Oregon State earning a road win this weekend, which was all the talk around UCLA last week, does that make OSU more dangerous tonight?
You would sure think so. For more on that, and links to our Thursday morning college basketball coverage, read on.
Wow. This one had a dramatic finish to it. You hope suspensions won't come out of a situation like this, but who knows.
Read on to find out what I'm talking about in my game story. If you were there, you already know, and I'd be curious to hear what everyone thinks - so please, do share.
UPDATED, Thursday, 1:40 p.m.
Here is my Idaho prep column, most of which is about an event sponsored by the Human Rights Education Institute in Coeur d'Alene on Monday at Coeur d'Alene High School.
Here is a feature story on Post Falls senior basketball player Kandice McArthur that was published today in the Post Falls/Rathdrum Voice. A feature story on Coeur d'Alene senior wrestler Jesse Nielsen will be in the Handle Extra on Saturday.
Click the tab below to see some prep notes and boys and girls basketball scoring leaders. I haven't received scoring leaders from all the teams yet, but as they filter in I will update the list.
Maybe the suspense went out of GSL boys basketball in regards to a top-two finish last night, but there's still plenty of excitement behind Ferris and Shadle Park.
The two schools have a comfortable advantage over the rest of the league, but third through sixth is still wide open.
A week after USA Today's Marlen Garcia checked in with an article on Washington State, she's back with a feature on Gonzaga.
She was in town for the Georgia game at the Arena. Here's the link.
OK, we've made the return flight. Just a slight temperature change from Malibu to Spokane. About 50 degrees.
Read on for a day-after report that won't be quite as long as usual. The main reason why is Monday's 9 p.m. start, which put severe limitations on post-game interviews (try three questions for Mark Few, two for Jeremy Pargo).
Hard to believe, but we are halfway through January already (the snow on the ground is proof of that) and exactly halfway through WSU's regular season.
For a few links relating to the Cougs, read on.
Listened to Mychal Thompson on an afternoon radio show and also on the Lakers' pre-game show (L.A. plays the Sonics in Seattle). On the afternoon show, he said he had a bad weekend.
His son, Klay, a prep standout, lost his game. Klay's future team, Washington State, lost to UCLA. And his older son, Mychel, is a freshman at Pepperdine, which lost to Portland on Saturday in Malibu.
Some facts and figures below.
Receiving 14 of 16 first-place votes, the Spokane Chiefs remained atop the Western Hockey League writer's poll released Monday by the Western Major Junior Hockey Writer's Association.
The new rankings are not out yet, and there is a good chance I will be somewhere south of Rosalia when they do appear, but I had a couple of links to call your attention to. Read on. And we'll get to the new polls when we get a chance.
Fresno State topped the visiting Idaho men's basketball team 69-53 in a Western Athletic Conference game Saturday. Here's a link to the story.

Read on below for notes, quotes, links and an unedited game preview.
Click below for an unedited version of the Gonzaga-Loyola Marymount game story and a couple of quick notes.
The Zags had too much firepower Saturday night for the Loyola Marymount Lions, building a 14-point halftime lead, surviving a second-half Lion run, then pulling away late for a 91-68 West Coast Conference-opening victory. You can read a quick game story here.
A couple of quick notes about 15 minutes before tip between GU and LMU.
Jeremy Pargo (lower back) is still pretty sore from the hard fall he took a week ago against Georgia. He went through most of the pre-game drills and it appears he will attempt to play.
—Ex-Zag Ronny Turiaf, now with the Lakers, is in attendance at Gersten Pavilion. The Lakers entertain Memphis on Sunday night.
One of the key matchups going into the WSU-UCLA showdown was in the middle: Cougar Aron Baynes and Bruin Kevin Love.
Love got the better of it. More in an unedited article below.
You saw it. It wasn't pretty. By far the toughest half of the year. Unofficially, I had the Cougars missing their first seven shots - with five turnovers in the opening stretch.
Not exactly what they wanted. The question now is, how much momentum can one 3-pointer to end the half bring a team? We'll find out in the final 20 minutes.
It's almost like an AAU tournament, what with the 11:30 a.m. start today, so let's get right to all the hype and buildup to the game. And, before we get to the links, a question.
Tough loss for the Eagles men's basketball team in Pocatello last night.
I didn't make the trip, but you read more details on the 58-56 setback to Idaho State here.
Remember when the Pac-10 season started and there was a hue and cry about the Cougars having to open with three games on the road? Against UW, USC and UCLA of all teams? How some started to rail about the conference trying to ensure an 0-3 start?
Well, two-thirds of the opening stretch is done and WSU has a chance to have three conference wins before it plays a home game. But of course the third one – tomorrow at Pauley against the fifth-ranked Bruins – will be the toughest. Read on for thoughts about last night's win over USC and links.
It's late I know, but I'm finally done. Here is the unedited version of my game story. I'll put some thoughts up tomorrow morning.
The Western Hockey League trade deadline has passed, and general managers have certainly been busy around the league.
Click below for a list of the transactions that occured from Jan. 1 through today.
Just as we all suspected, the Spokane Chiefs have added some age to the blue line.
The Chiefs have acquired 19-year-old defenseman Trevor Glass from the Medicine Hat Tigers for a pair of draft selections, a third-round pick in 2008 and a second-round choice in 2010.
Before you read the rest of the release below, I'd like to pose the question: who else thinks Tim Speltz did a nice job with this season's trades? I think there is some credit due here.
Anyways, read on for more.
At last, the WCC preview and capsules. They're in unedited, cut-and-paste form below. Space limitations will delay these items and a John Blanchette column from running until Saturday in the S-R.
You will see my predicted order of finish. Feel free to make your predictions on the comments line below the post. Here's another WCC preview from San Diego.
Also, here's the week ahead for GU and some WCC notes from our weekly Four Corners college basketball page. Note that Cal State Bakersfield is transitioning to Division I (it was trimmed from the version that appeared in the paper).
And finally, from the Seattle Times, Steven Gray's sister, Bainbridge High junior Brittany Gray, had 24 points, 21 rebounds, four assists and four steals in a 78-47 win Wednesday night.
The Ferris Saxons were expected to make noise in Greater Spokane League wrestling and tonight they threw the league into a six-team turmoil. By beating East Valley 33-32 the league standings now look like this:
Central Valley 7-1, EV and University 5-1, Ferris 6-2, Mead 5-2.
Three match dates remain plus next Tuesday's U-Hi at EV makeup. Ferris is at Mead on Wednesday and CV at U-Hi on Jan. 23.
Given what transpired against the touring Japanese junior national team, it's looking like the GSL is preparing wrestlers well for post-season.
Here's the story:
It's a little warmer in Los Angeles. A little. And things should be warm down here on the court. There is a big weekend ahead.
Read on for the unedited version of the story that will appear in tomorrow's paper.
We mentioned that we'd post the WCC preview/team capsules as early as Tuesday afternoon, but those plans changed because the sports section was packed Wednesday and will be again Thursday. Since the WCC season doesn't begin until Saturday, the previews are being held and won't run until Friday.
They're done and I'll probably post them sometime tomorrow.
Meanwhile, click below for an update on Jeremy Pargo and other notes from media day.
Comments on my post of GSL basketball last night degenerated into the ridiculous and has been removed. It goes up again only other these conditions. There will be no more denigrating (look it up) athletes or coaches, period. It is meant to generate thoughtful commentary from fans who follow their teams wish to discuss high school sports and the leagues respectfully and intelligently. Keep it that way or this blog is history.
Let's see. There is almost a foot of snow on my deck. The predicted high is 32. The forecast is, to quote Phil Connors, "It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be gray, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life." In Los Angeles, the weather talent is calling for a high of 61, with a good chance of two excellent Pac-10 basketball games breaking out.
I'm sorry I didn't post anything last night, but the ride from Pullman to Spokane was as bad as I've ever seen it. No more than 40 miles an hour, slick, blowing snow, occasional accident. It took me almost three hours to make the trip, but I did stop a while in Colfax. Pretty darn stressful. But the stories are in the paper today, so here are the links.
The Idaho men's basketball team's next home game against Louisiana Tech is Thursday not Wednesday as previously reported. Tipoff is at 7:05 p.m.

GU's Matt Bouldin has been named WCC player of the week. The sophomore guard scored a career-high 26 points in a 61-59 win over Utah and added 21 points in a 75-67 victory over Georgia. He made 62.5 percent of his shots and also had 10 rebounds in the two games.
Ex-Zag Richie Frahm was released by the Clippers, but he may be back with the team soon. Read more here, here and here.
Depending on the rate of return calls, I hope I'll be able to post our WCC preview here later.
WSU freshman guard Stephen Sauls is still hospitalized tonight after receiving a blow to the face during a practice scrimmage. Here is what we know tonight.
I'll have a couple of posts tonight, one on football (this one) and one on basketball.
This is unchartered territory for yours truly.
With the assistance of every available computer/blog guru in the western U.S., I'm attempting to post some photos of the Gonzaga basketball team's visit to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane last week.
(UPDATE: I must point out that the photos below were e-mailed to me by Jerid Keefer, the game-day manager for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Classic game. Some of the comments below imply that I took the photos, which of course is impossible because I can barely operate this computer let alone operate a camera! Jerid told me the photos were taken by a representative of RMHC. Those folks deserve credit for the photos. Sorry for any confusion.)
Also, a reminder that the S-R photo staff posts dozens of pictures of GU games, not just the ones that appear in the paper. Find them here.
We'll also have a couple of notes and links below.
An interesting discussion here yesterday. All the comments were interesting – except the one about my picture. Jeez. OK, I'm ugly. I know it. I'm also overweight. And I talk funny. Leave me alone. My sons give me enough crud.
Before I venture down 195 at 12.3 miles per hour I wanted to share some links.
A lot to cover in looking back at GU's 75-67 win over Georgia on Saturday. I was anxious to watch a recording of the game when I got home last night because I only saw the hard foul by Georgia's Corey Butler once live. No replays.
My thoughts on that play and a bunch of other stuff below in our usual lengthy day-after post. Your comments are always welcome, but understand I have little tolerance for mindless name-calling, etc.
There were a lot of great quotes from all these guys, so I had a tough time pairing down this video. It's worth it to watch all the way through (about 3 minutes).
Here's Tony Bennett, Aron Baynes, Robbie Cowgill, Derrick Low, Kyle Weaver, Taylor Rochestie and UW's Jon Brockman:
Get the Flash Player to see this video.
Nick was able to post right after the game – thanks – so you had something to read and comment about. Now you have my unedited story to critique. Just read on.
Apologies for this being later than planned, but a few computer glitches slowed me down.
Anyway, click below for an unedited S-R game story. Check back for updates on Jeremy Pargo when they become available.
Also, we'll have our usual day-after post Sunday morning.
We head into the second half with a 20-17 Husky lead over the No. 4 Cougars. There are several things to point out.
Follow the jump.
Gonzaga built an 18-point lead in the second half, but it wasn't able to cruise to victory.
GU endured an uncomfortable final three minutes because of sloppy ballhandling and passing before hanging on for a 75-67 victory over Georgia on Saturday in the Ronald McDonald Charities Classic in front of a sold-out crowd at the Spokane Arena.
The game had a scary finish for Gonzaga. Georgia's Corey Butler was booted out of the game for a hard foul on GU's Jeremy Pargo on a breakaway. Pargo stayed down on the court for a couple of minutes, but was eventually able to shoot the free throws.
Game story in about 90 minutes.
As promised, I've typed up some additional comments from Friday's press conference introducing Beau Baldwin as Eastern Washington's new football coach that can be read by clicking on the extended entry line below.
You can take another look at the story I wrote for Saturday's S-R here and check out the column submitted by John Blanchette here.

There's a four-team logjam vying for second place behind unbeaten Lewis and Clark in girls GSL basketball after Shadle Park outscored Mead 20-8 in the forth quarter for a 54-49 upset road victory.
The Tigers are 9-0, Shadle, Mead and Central Valley 7-2 with University (7-3) one-half game behind. Mead-CV; CV-U-Hi and Shadle Park-U-Hi loom next week in an effort to sort things out.
The Spokane Chiefs haven't been playing too well lately, but they managed to come out of the Arena with two points on Friday night.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs and Georgia Bulldogs tangle in the Ronald McDonald House Charities Classic at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Spokane Arena.
For an unedited game preview and more information on the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane, click below.
Spokane Chiefs forward Luke Betts has been reassigned to a BCHL team to be determined. Betts appeared in six games in Spokane, scored one goal and recorded six penalty minutes after being acquired from the Red Deer Rebels in a trade for Cody Esposito. In total, Betts has played 23 games this season with three goals and five points.
The move leaves the Chiefs with 22 players on its roster; two goaltenders, seven defensemen and 13 forwards.
Good morning.
Well, not really. My first phone call concerning EWU's football coaching search came at 6:15 yesterday morning, and my last at 11:15 last night.
Eastern Washington's failure to secure a late-game rebound on the defensive end of the court cost them a chance to finish off a impressive comeback against Northern Arizona at Reese Court Saturday night.

In the wake of Jim McElwain's decision to turn down an offer to become EWU's next football coach, it is uncertain where Eagles AD Bill Chaves will turn next.
You can read an updated but unedited version of the story that will appear in Friday's S-R by clicking on the extended entry line below.
And you check out the McElwain story that appeared in today's Fresno Bee right here.
The Spokane Chiefs are on a different kind of streak right now - a losing streak.
But they have a plan. And it's only a two-game skid. They had a good practice on Thursday and are looking forward to a couple of important matchups this weekend. Read on for my unedited notebook, and some bonus quotes that won't fit in tomorrow's section.
Mead hosts East Valley tonight as Greater Spokane League wrestling resumes with a match that could make things v-e-r-r-y inter-r-resting.
Sorry to break in with a basketball post amid all of the fallout on Eastern's never-ending football coaching search, but I did have a long talk with Eagles senior forward Kellen Williams earlier this week and wrote this feature story that ran in this morning's S-R.
And don't forget to check back later tonight for a look at the unedited version of the EWU-Northern Arizona game story that will run in Friday morning's S-R.
Second half of the Greater Spokane League basketball season is on us and will conclude in a rush. Beginning tomorrow teams must pack as many as a dozen games into a relatively short 35-day window. Included are two three-game weeks. The GSL plays Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday next week and the week of Jan. 16.
Games to watch tomorrow are Ferris boys (8-0) at Gonzaga Prep (6-1) and Shadle Park girls (6-2) and Mead (7-1).
As Pac-10 Conference play kicks off tonight, there are about a dozen stories from up and down the coast to link to, and we will. We also have links to the S-R stories and our pieces on our Four Corners page, which runs every Thursday. So read on.
This is going to be a long, long post.
At the top is my unedited Pac-10 preview story that will run in tomorrow's Spokesman-Review. And below that are the capsules, a team-by-team look at the league. You get it all before it shows up in tomorrow's paper. I've changed my Pac-10 picks a little since before the nonconference season, but I'm sticking with a couple of out-of-the-box choices. I'm just trying to find this year's 2006-07 Washington State, you know, the team that will come out of nowhere to be successful.
The holidays are finally in the rearview mirror and teams return to action this week.

Tempers can boil over – but only because derbies mean so much
Local pride is at stake for the game's Manchester-born players
Scoring for United against City... there's no better feeling
On Sunday, United make the short trip across town for the 166th Manchester derby against City, whose Barclays Premier League record after four games of the 2013/14 campaign is identical to the Reds' – won two, drawn one, lost one.
The Blues' resurgence in recent seasons has added extra spice to this 120-year-old encounter, which has probably never been more eagerly anticipated by both sets of fans.
But what is it about Manchester derbies that is so special for players and supporters alike? We've pinpointed some of the fixture's key elements and produced short videos to illustrate them, which you can watch above.

January 7, 2011
On Friday, the University of Virginia's football program announced the departure of strength and conditioning coach Brandon Hourigan after two seasons with the program.
According to a press release from the team, Hourigan is leaving the program to pursue other opportunities.
"I am very thankful for the opportunities coach London and coach (Al) Groh gave me," Hourigan said in the university-issued statement. "It was a privilege to work with them and their coaching staffs as well as the bright student-athletes at Virginia. The players were very receptive and committed to improving every day when they showed up for workouts. I want to wish coach the best. I think the program has a bright future under his direction."
Hourigan has worked with Virginia head coach Mike London this past year and in 2008 at Richmond where he was the strength and conditioning coach with the Spiders from 2005-2008.
"I want to thank Brandon for his service to the Cavalier football program," London said in the statement. "I have been fortunate to work with him on two separate occasions and he has been tireless in his efforts to improve and develop the student-athletes in those programs. We all benefited from his enthusiasm and the energy and passion he displayed in the weight room and on the field. I want to wish him and his family the very best."
The release from the team also stated that the program will begin a national search to fill Hourigan's vacated position immediately.

Search crews in Minneapolis have gotten encouragement from a number of sources today.
Authorities now say no more than eight people are missing from Wednesday's bridge collapse, rather than the 30 that had been feared. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek says one person who had been unaccounted for turned up safe at work. The confirmed death toll is five.
Divers have again been battling swirling currents and murky waters of the Mississippi River as they carefully pick through the wreckage. But their work was made a little easier when the Army Corps of Engineers managed to lower the water level around the site by about two feet.
Nevertheless, Minneapolis Fire Chief Jim Clack says with all the debris in the water, it remains treacherous and the recovery operation will likely take several days.
Stanek describes the scene as a "terrible mess," adding that authorities still don't know how many cars were on the bridge when it collapsed or how many people were inside them. But he says things are going "better than expected."
Authorities are also reviewing the safety record of the eight-lane I-35W bridge, which was determined to be "structurally deficient" as early as 1990. Some experts are pointing to the presence of heavy construction equipment being used for repairs as a possible factor in the collapse.
The First Lady Laura Bush has arrived in the Twin Cities, for a visit with some of the people affected by the bridge collapse.
She is praising the rescuers who were the first on the scene after a Mississippi River bridge collapsed in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
Visiting the scene this morning, the first lady said there are "so many good stories" about the response. She said it "lifts people and it really encourages people."
President Bush plans to travel to the scene of the deadly bridge collapse tomorrow.

I remember feeling so alone when all the abuse was going on. I never shared it with anyone. I think it was my way of having some normalcy, in the other parts of my life. Not only that, I felt completely ashamed. Today, I still feel alone with those memories. I can talk about it, but it's almost like those are MY nasty memories. I don't want to let anyone into them. That in itself is sad.
So reading everyone's posts here...part of me is so terribly sad to see how many beautiful women have gone through this. I knew it before, but usually we read about it in a newspaper article, delivering the deadly ending...not hearing it from each others own words, supporting each other. That makes me want to cry...not because I'm sad, but for some reason, it feels like relief. Almost like there is strength in numbers...
True Love: What I have for my beautiful children.
No words. Just hugs.
like those are MY nasty memories. I don't want to let anyone into them
like there is strength in numbers...
thank you itainteasy
I don't want anyone to feel uneasy because of my experience.
I don't either. I don't want pity and I don't want to be seen as a victim. Survivor, ok maybe, victim, no. I can talk about it in a detached way but I know if I get into specifics it would upset the person I'm telling and I don't want that. That makes me uncomfortable, so I've not talked about it much, other than to a few people.
I think another reason I have a hard time letting go and crying about it is I still hear my dad's voice in my head when I cried as a kid -- 'Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about' 'Toughen up, don't be such a wimp'. I didn't cry much about it after the fact. I got angry for a while. I wanted XBF dead, but I liked my freedom too much to give him anymore of my life. He took enough and was not worth that. But not a lot of tears about it in an open cathartic healing way. My anger protected me from that pain and over time the anger subsided so I thought that meant I dealt with it, but I really hadn't/haven't.
MissesJai, I hope your son is going to be able to process all of it too. Hugs to you both.
Your son's reaction is proof of your strength as an awesome mother and strong woman. I fully understand the feeling dumb for enduring stuff you feel you shouldn't have. It's natural that your psyche try to bury such trauma, because the memory is deeply painful. But it's there, and when the memory is triggered, sometimes you feel as if your are experiencing rather than remembering, or you watch what you and your child went thru in horror. I suspect it takes time to deal with the experience a bit deeper each time.
I want to let you know I admire your strength. You are anything but dumb.
It's ok to process as slowly as you need. Your brain will set the pace that it is ready to handle.
Song, thank you for coming out of the woodwork for me. Your words mean so much.
