Research indicates that your diet and lifestyle are directly linked to your risk of developing cancer. Some experts estimate that cancer risks could be reduced 30 – 40 percent by eating a plant-based diet, keeping physically active and maintaining a healthy body weight. If you also eliminate smoking, it helps reduce your cancer risks by 60 – 70 percent.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. In fact, one in every four deaths in the U.S. is from cancer. Not every case of cancer is the result of a poor diet, but you can reduce your risk of getting cancer by watching what you eat. Your eating habits can contribute to how healthy you are now and in the future.
Research has shown that certain compounds, such as fiber in fruits, vegetables and cereal grains can interfere with the process of cancer development. Therefore, experts agree that eating a diet based mostly on plant foods is a great way to reduce your cancer risk. In other words, eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans than meat and poultry at every meal.
Plant foods contain phytonutrients, which are natural compounds that help prevent cancer. They can help destroy carcinogens before they have a chance to cause cancer or they may slow or stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. Some phytonutrients help reduce cell damage and boost certain enzymes that help get rid of carcinogens.
Benefits of a plant-based diet:
• Helps cut down on animal foods which, when eaten in large quantities, are linked to cancer.
• Provides more fiber, less fat and fewer calories.
• Helps reduce obesity – a risk factor for cancer.
• Protects against diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Helps lower your risks for breast, lung, stomach, colon, prostate and some other cancers.
• People who are overweight are more likely to develop certain types of cancer. Overweight women have a higher cancer risk of the uterus, cervix, breast and colon. Overweight men have a higher risk for developing cancer of the colon, rectum, and prostate.
The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends that two-thirds or more of your meal consist of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans. The rest (or less) of your meal can include meat, poultry, fish or low-fat dairy foods.
When you go shopping:
• Buy vegetables and fruits that have dark, rich colors because they tend to have a high amount of vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients.
• Buy a variety of rainbow-colored fruits and vegetables.
• Red-purple vegetables (beets, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, Okinawan sweet potatoes)
• Red-purple fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, guavas, grapefruits, cherries)
• Yellow-orange vegetables (sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, yellow squash)
• Yellow-orange fruits (mangoes, papayas, tangerines, oranges, pineapples, starfruits)
• Dark green vegetables (taro leaves, ung choi, broccoli, pak choi, choi sum, spinach, watercress, asparagus)
• Frozen fruits and vegetables are also good to eat. Make sure there is no added sodium.
• Buy canned fruits and vegetables carefully. Some minerals and nutrients may be lost in the canning process. Sometimes salt is added as a preservative for canned vegetables and sugar may be added to canned fruits.
• If you buy canned fruits and vegetables, look for labels that say "low salt," "no added sugar or salt" or "packed in juice."
• Choose 100% juice when you buy fruit or vegetable drinks.
• Find whole grained varieties of whole wheat bread, bagels, pretzels, pasta, English muffins, rice cakes, tortillas, breadsticks, rye crisps, saltines, high fiber cereals, brown or wild rice, spaghetti and macaroni noodles.
• Fresh or jarred salsas are excellent low fat toppings for salads, potatoes and pasta.
• If you buy canned cannellini beans, chickpeas, pinto, black and other types of beans, make sure you rinse them well before adding them to soups, stews, salads and casseroles.
• Olives and avocados are high in fat. Eating too many at one time can provide more calories than other fruits and vegetables.
• Coconuts are high in saturated fat.
Not all plant foods have the same health-promoting compounds so eat a variety of plant foods to get the most out of a plant-based diet. If you have any questions about the foods you eat, talk to your physician or a dietitian.

Blog Entry:
February 12, 2013 1:56 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The New York Times
visits Painesville to file
this story
about the rapid rise in gun ownership by women.
Women's participation in shooting sports "has surged over the last decade, increasing by 51.5 percent for target shooting from 2001 to 2011, to just over 5 million women, and by 41.8 percent for hunting,"
The Times
says, citing data from the National Sporting Goods Association. In a survey last year by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, 73% of gun dealers said the number of female customers had gone up in 2011, as had a majority of retailers surveyed in the two previous years, the newspaper notes.
Women's shooting clubs also are proliferating. One of them is the Northeast Ohio chapter of
A Girl and a Gun Women's Shooting League
, where
The Times
talks with Mary Ann Froebe, 42, a small business owner who described herself as a "virgin gun shooter" before she concentrated and pulled the trigger.
"It was awesome," she tells the newspaper after emptying a 10-round magazine. "The sense of control, of being in charge of me."
On a recent Friday, according to the story, Ms. Froebe and eight other women attended the Painesville shooting league's inaugural "Breakfast and Bullets" gathering at Perkins for brunch and then moved to
Atwell's Shooting Range
. There,
The Times
says, the shooting league's Esther Beris taught them how to hold and load a handgun safely and then coached them on the range.
The attendees at the Perkins breakfast are a mixed lot politically.
Ms. Froebe says she votes Republican. Terri Herbert, 57, a retired special education teacher who said the nephew of a close friend had been killed in a school shooting, is a registered Democrat.
The Times
says she favors background checks on private sales but opposes a ban on military-style semiautomatic rifles or high-capacity magazines.
"I'm not sure gun control is the answer," Ms. Herbert says.
Tamara Wysocki, 52, a caterer, tells the paper that she wanted a handgun for protection at her business, but would not keep a gun at home.
"If you have a gun and they have a gun, somebody's bound to get shot," she says.
This and that
Pipe dreams:
is plumb awful.
Bloomberg reports that recession-driven thefts of pipes, water heaters and toilets "cut the number of U.S. homes with complete plumbing by about 10.4 percent from 2008 to 2011," reversing a
five-decade trend
of advanced levels of indoor plumbing.
That decay "another obstacle to recovery in Rust Belt cities already beset by crime and poverty," Bloomberg reports.
Indeed, "Detroit leads U.S. cities in homes that the Census Bureau says lack basic plumbing," according to the news service. About 19% of the city's 360,951 housing units lack complete plumbing.
The agency "found similar devolution in Flint, Mich.; Cleveland and Dayton, Ohio; Camden, N.J.; and Buffalo, N.Y.," Bloomberg reports.
The problem is "distinctly urban and insidious," says Alan Mallach, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
"When a unit becomes vacant in large parts of Detroit, Cleveland, Camden, you name it, it gets stripped," he tells Bloomberg. "Where you have these roving stripping gangs, as well as vandalism, the houses will go pretty fast."
Big fans:
The Wall Street Journal's
editorial page gives
a big thumbs up
to Gov. John Kasich's tax reform plan.
Gov. Kasich, the newspaper says, is "another GOP statehouse executive creating a sharp policy contrast with California, New York — and Washington, D.C."
The Journal approves of the plan, which has as its centerpiece a 20% cut over three years in all of Ohio's nine income tax rates. Small businesses and S corporations also will get tax relief, though Gov. Kasich wants to raise extraction taxes on drilling in the Utica shale.
The editorial has surprisingly little to say about Gov. Kasich's sales tax tradeoff, which would cut the rate to 5% from 5.5% in exchange for taxing about 75 goods and services that are currently exempt.
It does make the sweeping statement that "from Toledo to Cincinnati the media have joined liberals in proclaiming that the reform will only help the rich. But if high tax rates helped the poor, Ohio would be heaven. A new analysis by Ohio University economist Richard Vedder, an expert on state and local finances, finds that states with high tax rates like Ohio have among the largest gaps between the rich and poor, while low tax rate states have relatively smaller gaps."
The Journal
notes approvingly that Ohio's jobless rate "has fallen to 6.7% from 9% since Mr. Kasich took office in 2011 focused on spending control and job creation." (Here, it doesn't mention the Utica shale windfall.)
It concludes, though, that Ohio "still has a long way to go to compete with no-income-tax Florida or Texas. Ohio's tax system hasn't been fundamentally redesigned since the Great Depression. If Mr. Kasich can beat back the corporate lobbyists and public unions, he'll turn Ohio into an even bigger growth story. And it'll have to be to finance his misguided Medicaid expansion."
Nice work if you can get it:
PolyOne Corp.
of Avon Lake completes its previously announced
$393 million acquisition
of Clayton, Mo.-based
Spartech Corp.
, Spartech CEO Victoria Holt
would receive
a golden parachute valued at $5.1 million.
The figure includes $3.2 million of cash, $1.7 million of stock, $90,000 in pension and $52,329 of perquisites, according to a story in the
St. Louis Business Journal
Four other Spartech executives each would receive packages ranging in values from $1.1 million to $2 million.
The age-old question:
Barbara Messinger-Rapport, director of the Cleveland Clinic's
center for geriatric medicine
, is quoted in
this Bloomberg story
, inspired by Pope Benedict's retirement announcement, about octogenarian leaders facing the end of their tenure.
The pope's decision "may prove emblematic of an older generation that is perhaps healthier than earlier generations, yet may harbor unrealistic expectations about what's physically possible as the body ages," Bloomberg notes.
Some of the world's most influential business leaders — think Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett and New Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch — "are confronting the same decision as they continue to rule their empires in their 80s and even 90s," according to the story.
The scientific consensus is that cognitive abilities decrease once people are in their 80s and that it's prudent to assess the ability to be in positions of power at that time."
Still, Bloomberg notes, "Most elderly powerful business people, though, have no intention of abdicating if they don't have to." And hanging on to a job full of responsibilities and challenges may be the best thing for an executive's health, Ms. Messinger-Rapport says.
"In order to age successfully, you have to have cognitive challenges," she says. "You have to have social engagement, so you're with peers and have meaningful activities. You need physical challenges to maintain your ability."

Unintentional Injury Statistics
Preventing Unintentional Injuries
Potential Emergency Situations and Conditions
Trauma is defined as a physical injury or wound caused by an external force of violence, which may cause death or permanent disability. The word is also used to describe severe emotional or psychological shock or distress.
Most of us recognize a traumatic injury or a person in distress when we see one, and we are able to call for immediate medical assistance. But, what about those injuries and illnesses we are not sure qualify as traumas or emergencies? It is important to learn and recognize when immediate medical care is necessary and when the condition can be managed ourselves.
Being prepared and knowing how to react ahead of time could prevent a situation from becoming an emergency. And, learning how to respond to conditions and illnesses properly could make the difference between a potentially fatal outcome and a treatable, manageable situation.
Learn the local emergency numbers in your area and always ask for help in any medical situation you are unsure about - it could make the difference between life and death.

Pease on short list for KC-46A tankers: Local Air Guard base in final five for new air refueling planes
Thursday, January 10, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — The field of Air National Guard bases being considered to receive the new KC-46A air refueling tanker has been narrowed to five, and Pease is a finalist.
"It's obviously a good thing to be on the list," McCarthy said Wednesday. "It just shows the hard work we've done."
Once the site surveys are complete, the results will be reported to the Air Force secretary and chief of staff, who will select "preferred" sites, as well as alternatives. The decision is expected by this spring.
Another factor that has contributed to high utilization is the fact that Pease is home to three KC-135 active associations, according to an announcement from the 157th Air Refueling Wing. The associations comprise both Air National Guard and active duty personnel.
In addition to selecting a Guard base, the Air Force will also send KC-46As to one active duty base and one so-called "formal training unit."

The worry with Sundance is that by the time the movies that premiere at prestigious festival arrive in theaters, they could already have worn out their welcome. The first wave of audiences rave and applaud the best of fest, but is it because the films are fantastic or because seeing them without any preconceived notions — a near impossible experience in today's trailer-filled world — fills the viewers with euphoria?
This year had its fair share of hype, but one film stands out as a work of art that lives up to the buzz. In Fruitvale, Friday Night Lights and Chronicle actor Michael B. Jordan puts on the shoes of Oscar Grant, victim of an infamous 2009 incident of police brutality that ended in the 22-year-old's death. It's a star turn for the young actor, who reminds us that Grant, now an icon for the country's epidemic of police-related violence, was a person trying to get his life back together while the world was working against him. At the Sundance Award Ceremony, former 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman presented the festival's top honor, the Grand Jury Prize, to Fruitvale, declaring that it wouldn't be the last time newcomer director Ryan Coogler would make his way to an awards podium in 2013. That's a high bar — and one Fruitvale is worthy of hitting.
Coogler sets his film in the final 24 hours of Oscar's life. Although he was recently incarcerated for drug-related crimes, Oscar is a charming, loving man, ready to get his life back on track. He's settling down with his girlfriend (Melonie Diaz), raising his four-year-old daughter, and on the day of the incident, celebrating his mother's (played by Octavia Spencer) birthday. The world of drug dealing still surrounds him, but he brushes it off — we see Oscar dump an enormous bag of marijuana into the ocean after attempting to get his job back at the local supermarket. In Jordan's hands, Oscar is a man filled with regret, but who sees a future for himself. A bright future.
Before the shocking moment of violence that radically changes Grant's family's life, spurring riots in the streets of San Francisco, Fruitvale meditates on Oscar's quest to get back on his feet. His family is demanding of him: Diaz's Sophina worries their relationship is unstable and that Oscar won't take raising their daughter seriously. He quells he fears through emotional professions — in the hands of other actors, this would be hammy. But this is why Jordan's subdued work is tremendous. He's gentle, broken, and hopeful. In flashbacks, we see Oscar in prison, begging his mother for forgiveness before lashing out at a group of racist inmates. When he reflects on that time in the present day, we see Oscar's intense desire to do right in the world — even if it means cleaning up after his mom's birthday dinner. It's all in Jordan's eyes — although having another stellar performance by Spencer alongside him doesn't hurt.
Coogler is committed to intensity and raw emotion in his buildup, and he doesn't flinch when it comes to Fruitvale's disturbing conclusion. Kevin Durand and Chad Michael Murray (who, inexplicably, has zero lines or even a close-up in the film) play the cops who apprehend Oscar on the San Francisco's BART train early on New Year's Day, and it's every bit as startling and confusing as one might expect flipping through newspaper stories on the subject. Early in the film, Coogler utilizes actual video of the murder shot from bystanders cell phones. He recreates it with fluid motion and the perspective of the young men seized by the police. Heart-racing doesn't begin to describe it. What happened that night could have happened to anyone — as Fruitvale helps us realize, that "anyone" was a spectacular individual.
If Fruitvale takes a misstep, it is in digging deep into Oscar Grant then treading backwards to put him back on the pedestal of a martyr. Documentary footage of protests remind us that Oscar has become the face of police brutality in the U.S. when the film strives to humanize him. But Jordan's performance is too solid to allow the grander ideas to overload the picture. While Oscar's death put police brutality under a microscope, Fruitvale is a powerful reminder that at the heart of every issue is a real person.
Will Fruitvale follow in the footsteps of Beasts of the Southern Wild and be an Oscar contender of 2013? Sorry, Tom Rothman, but it doesn't matter — the important thing is that the movie lives up the the raves of Sundancers and that we'll be seeing this one in theaters before year's end.

CNN Poll: 59% say it was dumb to send troops to Iraq
Ten years after the start of the Iraq war, most Americans say the war was a mistake and that it was dumb to send U.S. troops into the conflict, according to a new national survey.
And a CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday also indicates that more than half of the public says that President George W. Bush's administration misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and more than half describe the more than eight and a half year long war as a stalemate.
As Americans mark the tenth anniversary of the conflict, 59% of those questioned in the survey say the decision to originally send U.S. troops into Iraq was dumb. That's up eight points from December 2011, when the final U.S. troops left the country. Thirty-eight percent say it was a smart decision, down seven points.
According to the poll, 56% say the war was a mistake, with 43% disagreeing.
"Most Republicans believe that the Iraq War was not a mistake, but 62 percent of independents and 70 percent of Democrats disagree," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
Only a quarter of the public describes the war as a victory for America, down five points from December 2011, with 55% saying the conflict was a stalemate, pretty much unchanged. Eighteen percent say the war was a defeat for the U.S., up seven points from December 2011.
A majority of Americans (54%) say that prior to the start of the war the administration of George W. Bush deliberately misled the U.S. public about whether Baghdad had weapons of mass destruction. That may explain why 51% say that the Iraq war was not morally justified. Forty-eight percent say the conflict was morally justified.
Public support for the war was high after the initial March 2003 invasion by U.S. forces, and remained high throughout that year, which ended with the capture of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in December. But public backing of the war started to deteriorate in 2004, with mounting American casualties and scandals such as the one at the Abu Ghraib prison, and as the conflict became the top issue in that year's presidential election.
The new poll was conducted March 15-17 for CNN by ORC International, with 1,021 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

Will Jason Pierre-Paul leave Giants?
Something that has perhaps flown under the radar is that Jason Pierre-Paul will be a free agent this offseason. Do you think the New York Giants will let him test the market? Where could he go?
He has had a very strong year, being an elite run defender. There aren't many, if any, defensive ends who have stopped the run as well as he has. And for that, he is going to want to be rewarded.
The NFL's most impressive rookies
Do you think the Denver Broncos are concerned with the lack of a passing attack recently?
They look like they're shifting their offense, trying to run the ball more and become more ground-oriented. So much has ridden on Peyton Manning's shoulders for so long that it looks like the Broncos are trying to make life a little easier for him down the stretch. Manning can't do everything -- and lately, he hasn't. When Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas get healthy, if Denver happens to play indoors or in better weather conditions, it would be a surprise if we were still talking about Denver's lack of a passing attack.

Do you think the Denver Broncos can keep both Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas? What are you hearing?
That is going to be challenging, and it will be the story of the Broncos' offseason. My belief is there's no way that Denver lets Demaryius Thomas get away, and then it will work on Julius Thomas.

How hot is Marc Trestman's seat?
How far do you think the Arizona Cardinals can go with Carson Palmer now out for the whole season?
This team showed something on Sunday: Down four points, losing its star quarterback in the fourth quarter, it still found a way to win the game. If Arizona can do that during one game, there's no reason it can't continue building off that. It will be tougher for this team to win with the same frequency, as the Cardinals simply aren't as good without Palmer. But they already have overcome a ton. They can overcome more. The challenge of getting where they wanted (becoming the first team to host a Super Bowl) just got even more difficult.
What are the chances Marc Trestman gets fired before the end of the season? The Chicago Bears have looked pathetic the past two weeks, albeit against very good offenses.
Let's be clear:

What happened to Carolina's defense?
What's happened to the Carolina Panthers defense this season? That unit has been dreadful.
Yes, it has. It has been one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season. Much of it has to do with the loss of Greg Hardy, who was the team's best defensive lineman. He helped generate a ferocious pass rush last year that has been absent this year. But Carolina's decline cannot all be attributed to Hardy's absence. Plenty has to do with the poor play of the Panthers' run defense. Carolina is ranked 26th in the league in rush defense It's hard to imagine that a defense with as much talent as the Panthers, and with a player as good as Luke Kuechly, could be struggling as much as it is against the run. But it is.

Saints still have good NFC South shot
What do you think the chances are the Detroit Lions trade Ndamukong Suh, since he's going to be a free agent and has stated that he doesn't want to return to Detroit?
No reason to do that now, as much as they might be able to get in trade for him. The Lions are tied for first place in the NFC North. Their defense has been playing at a top level -- and Suh has been one of the centerpieces of it. Sure, the Lions might be able to get a premium draft pick back for Suh, but his value would be diminished because he is on an expiring contract, so Detroit wouldn't be able to get back as much. And for whatever the Lions could get back, is it worth sacrificing the success that they are striving for this season? Very likely not.
Was that the nail in the coffin for the New Orleans Saints' season Sunday, or are they still a serious contender in the NFC?

Biggest concern for the Seahawks?
What's the biggest concern for the Seattle Seahawks right now? Are they getting Percy Harvin enough touches?
It's interesting that the usually vaunted Seahawks defense hasn't been so vaunted this season -- not in a lot of areas. For starters, Dallas was able to control the ball and the clock against Seattle's defense, something teams almost never do.

Don't count on Jim Harbaugh being back
Who has been the most impressive player to you over the first five weeks of the season?
On the offensive side of the football, it's hard to argue against DeMarco Murray. The running back has been a machine. He's run the football, caught the football and, unfortunately, also fumbled the football. If he can hold on to the football and keep up this pace, he could compete for the NFL's Most Valuable Player. Murray has been very impressive. Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, J.J. Watt and Le'Veon Bell also come to mind. Other than Murray, Bell has been the league's top running back. But nobody has been more impressive than Murray, who is one of the biggest reasons Dallas is where it is today.
What are your sources telling you about the future of Jim Harbaugh? Do you think he'll be the coach of the San Francisco 49ers next season?

Who will replace Dennis Allen in Oakland?
What should be the level of concern in New England over this team? If the Patriots lose Sunday to Cincinnati, they will be under .500.
Right now, it should be fairly high. The Patriots have looked vulnerable in many areas, most notably up front. It sure looks as if this team misses its former offensive line coach, the legendary Dante Scarnecchia. The unit has not functioned the same, Tom Brady has not had time to set up in the pocket, and the Patriots have not looked explosive on offense. At all. The good part for them is that they play in the AFC East, a division in which there isn't another team that is going to run away with the title. So they can struggle some, improve as the year goes on, and potentially still win the division.

How big is Danny Woodhead's injury?
Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are clearly disappointed in Morris Claiborne's performance since drafting him. Is there any market to trade him?
We've seen trades like that before, with a first-round disappointment changing teams. And Claiborne, in the right scheme, one such as the New York Jets', would be able to help. The issue is, if Dallas traded him this season it would have to accelerate about $9 million against its cap. That's a lot of money.
How big a loss do you think Danny Woodhead is for the San Diego Chargers? He seemed like Philip Rivers' safety blanket and converted so many third downs for that team.

Should RG III start when he returns?
How concerned should the Cincinnati Bengals be regarding A.J. Green's toe injury? They've played very well the first two games, and he is the key to that offense.
There is no doubt that he is the key to that offense. Green is battling a case of turf toe, which is a lot more painful than it sounds. He didn't practice Wednesday; the Bengals had him working with their physical therapists. They're trying to do what's best for Green to get him ready, but this is an injury that could linger. Still, Green is expected to play Sunday and perform to his usual level -- which is being one of the game's most dynamic players.

Redskins playing to RG III's strengths?
The New York Giants offense looked just as bad in Week 1 as it did during this preseason. How concerned should Giants fans be about Eli Manning and his weapons?
This all started last year. Manning never looked comfortable in the pocket; he looked rattled. It has continued into this season mostly because the offensive line hasn't given him the time he needs. The issue starts up front, which is where the Giants put so much of their offseason focus, signing and drafting linemen. But so far, it hasn't made a big difference. Part of the struggles undoubtedly has to do with installing and learning a new offense, which takes time. But if the Giants want their offense to get back on track, it starts with blocking better.
Are the Washington Redskins making a mistake by trying to keep Robert Griffin III in the pocket? Isn't that taking away his athleticism, which is one of his biggest assets?

What Smith's deal means for Cam Newton
Q: What did you think of the Alex Smith deal for Kansas City? Is he worth it? How much will that dictate Cam Newton's new deal?
A: Back when I covered the Broncos for the Rocky Mountain News, Denver signed former Oilers offensive tackle Don Maggs to a huge deal at the time. I remember asking the great agent, Jack Mills, whether Maggs was worth it. Mills said, "If someone is willing to pay it, he's worth it." The Chiefs were willing to pay Smith because he was worth it. What other options did they have? None as good as Smith.
People forget that Smith had the lowest interception percentage in football the past three seasons, and only Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have had better touchdown-to-interception ratios during that time. So yes, Smith was worth it. And Cam will be in a similar situation. He's proved to be a stellar quarterback and, more importantly, what other options do the Panthers have? They have to pay him. The question is, will it be at or north of that $20 million-a-year threshold?

Sufficient evidence, two suspects held for murder
Superior Court Judge Michelle Verderosa ruled there was sufficient evidence to hold Joanna Lynne McElrath and Robin Glenn James for trial on charges stemming from the alleged murder of Robert McElrath.
Charges include premeditated murder and conspiracy. McElrath also faces special charges of lying in wait and murder committed for the purpose of financial gain. James is also charged with lying in wait and alleged use of a handgun during the commission of a crime.
James is scheduled for arraignment on those charges Monday, Aug. 15, 11 a.m. in Lassen County Superior Court Department 1. McElrath will appear Monday, Aug. 15, 11 a.m. for an arraignment setting conference.
McElrath and James were arrested Thursday, Jan. 6, after investigation into the death of Robert McElrath, a Susanville police officer. His body was found near the riverbank at the Devil's Corral railroad trestle Sunday, Jan. 2.
Attorneys Bud Landreth and Laureen Bethards are representing Joanna McElrath. Larry Barnes and Dave Headley are representing James.
During the preliminary hearing, officers who responded to the scene and investigated the alleged crime testified. In addition officers who worked with Robert McElrath testified about his plans for the evening of his death.
Dr. Susan Comfort, a forensic pathologist with the Shasta County Coroner's Office, who performed the autopsy, also testified.
Friends and relatives of both families were in attendance during the sometimes emotional hearing.
Robert's family was seen holding hands during some of the testimonies. Some averted their gazes or briefly glanced at the screen showing photos of the crime scene at Devil's Corral, including a distant photo of Robert McElrath's body lying near the riverbank.
Lassen County Sheriff's Sgt. Kevin Jones testified that James, who was in custody at the time, told him during an interview Sunday, Jan. 9, that the alleged murder was Joanna McElrath's idea.
Lassen County District Attorney Bob Burns played a taped interview between Jones, Joanna McElrath and California Department of Justice agent Jeff Lilerly. The emotion in the courtroom became palpable.
James' preliminary hearing ended Wednesday, July 27, and the defense argued to strike the lying in wait special circumstances allegation. Landreth argued the alleged murder did not occur during a period of lying in waiting.
Landreth said there was insufficient evidence showing the victim was drugged to support the lying in wait charge. He also said the evidence showed that plan failed and James and Joanna McElrath went to Plan B.
Joanna McElrath's hearing resumed Thursday, July 28, after Verderosa granted a one-day continuance so the defense counsel could review transcripts of the interview between her and Jones.
The hearing concluded Friday, July 29.
In his closing argument, Burns said the evidence clearly showed the defendants intentionally drugged McElrath, created an ambush and killed him when he was involuntarily intoxicated and surprised.
After listening to testimony, Verderosa ruled Joanna McElrath would stand trial on charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy with special circumstances.

Dealers say bill would restore local control
Thursday, March 28, 2013
DOVER — After a rough patch in the auto industry, New Hampshire car dealers are calling for new protections in state law that they argue would restore local control to the auto market.
New Hampshire already has a so-called "Dealer Bill of Rights," which has been on the books for about 40 years. Nevertheless, dealers say manufacturers still control nearly all aspects of the retail business, leaving them with little choice over how they sell and service cars.
Dealer Paul Holloway said he found himself in this predicament after making costly upgrades to his Mercedes-Benz dealership in Greenland. At the urging of the manufacturer, Holloway said he paid millions to upgrade his building in 2002. Then, three years later, the manufacturer began pushing a new design called the "auto house" for its dealers.
"That's the way it is ..." he said. "If you want to be a dealer, this is what you do."
"It's not the exterior," he said. "It's the iPad; it's the doughnut. And it's the same with the vehicles here. It's not the leather couch in the showroom, or the big metal swoop on the outside. It's the vehicle that's inside of there. It's the product."Accessing the 'dealer file'Car dealers say Senate Bill 126 contains only one provision that does not exist elsewhere in the country. If the bill passes, dealers would gain the right to request a copy of their so-called "dealer file" from the manufacturer. The bill would only allow dealers to request information that portrays them negatively in the eyes of the manufacturer, according to McNamara. Such documents would include reports that describe a failure by the dealer to satisfy terms of sales and service agreements, he said.
"When we were going through our arbitration trying to basically stay alive, it was impossible to get any information from them, and yet we knew that they had been trying to get rid of us for awhile — well before the bankruptcy," he said.
"We had Pittsfield added to our area," he said. "Pittsfield, New Hampshire, (added) to Rochester. Can you imagine that?"
In response, McNamara said their argument is "ridiculous, overreaching" and "overbearing." A federal court in Maine has already ruled that the warranty protections are valid, McNamara said.

Prominent Dover businessman subject of investigation
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
DOVER — Dover police and representatives of the Attorney General's office conducted a search in late November of the home of Nickolas C. Skaltsis, 62, a prominent real estate investor and businessman, after allegations of investment fraud, Foster's Daily Democrat has learned.
In late October, an anonymous letter was sent to Dover City Councilors and the Foster's newsroom detailing allegations of "fraudulent and illegal investment practices" involving Skaltsis, stating he solicited state and local politicians, city council members, municipal and school district employees, friends and senior citizens. It alleges the misuse of approximately $350,000 by Skaltsis over the past two years.
"I can't even tell you what we are doing or not doing," Boffetti said. "If there was an ongoing investigation, which I'm not saying there is or isn't, we wouldn't even comment to confirm any of it. It is just not appropriate."
National Republican Party Committeewoman Phyllis Woods' daughter, Janice Woods, filed a civil suit on Oct. 5, 2012 indicating she lost $37,000 from Skaltsis and nearly $6,000 in legal fees. A narrative she wrote as part of the suit says she lost the money after connecting with Skaltsis in hopes of him acting as her mentor and teaching her "the ropes of property acquisition, renovation and flipping," according to Janice Woods' affidavit.
However, after she wired money to Skaltsis over the summer of 2012 three different times on three different properties in Dover, the result was always the same — according to her affidavit, she was never added to purchase and sales agreements, was never given copies of documents, was given false information about the properties and never received her money back from Skaltsis.
Woods not only wants her money returned, but hopes to prevent other community members from losing money.
"We believe he is using our funds to pay off other investors," the anonymous letter reads. "We have no 'hard data' on this, but considering Skaltsis has refused to provide any investor with data; including bank statements, mortgage information, operating expense accounts, or documentation which demonstrates he has engaged in the work of rehabbing distressed homes in the past year. What conclusion could we arrive at considering Skaltsis' refusal to open his books to the very investors who funded his alleged real estate activities?"
Skaltsis attended Dover schools and went to Keene State College. He has a long list of community service within the community. He served as the chairman of the Dover School Board in 2002 and was on the board of directors for Dover Adult Learning in 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. He was a member of the city's McConnell Center Advisory Board. He also served as the chairman of the Joint Building Committee and is listed in a DALC newsletter as a donor in the DALC "Come Help Us Grow Campaign." He was listed as a "Blue Spruces Donor" for up to $499.
Attorney Peter Doyle signed some Skaltsis court paperwork as late as November, but now says he is no longer representing Skaltsis and does not know where he is.

New: The next generation: Etude3The Etude3 is a light weight thumb rest for clarinet and Oboe made out of durable plastics. The Etude enhances the freedom of playing. Faster and easier movement of the ring- and little finger and it prevents fatigue of the thumb and hand.It gives your a sense control and of a firm "grip" on your instrument.
The Etude makes it possible to move the pressure point of the thumb rest to the first phalanx of the thumb to the space between the two joints. The lever momentum is much smaller at this point so the thumb can support the weight more easily.
Much of the energy used for supporting the weight then becomes available for handling the instrument.And can be used to improve control and speed up paying technique.
New features:
1) The Etude3 has a new metal hook covered with soft rubber and a casing with improved ergonomics.
2) The hook is adjustable in height as well.
There are several hidden features to improve the physical strengt of the design such asbetter materials and a redesign of dove tail slide and mountingslide.
The use of the Etude invites you into a new way of carrying your instrument!Instead of "hanging in the tendons", the musician will now carry the instrument in an "active" way!The thumb is held higher and is either straight or slightly bent.The result is a "natural and individual" posture.
It can't be emphasized enough;The tip of the thumb has to make good contact with the thumb rest casing(in hollow shaped cavity).It will take only a short time to get accustomed and to make it your "new way of life".When you pull the muscle at the inside of the thumb, the thumb will bend a little. This is most essential and will ensure that you make good contact with the hook!
Chose the row of holes in the mounting slide, that allows the Etude to be fitted on the instrument at a height, that when you are playing the instrument, the thumb will be opposite the index finger.No new holes have to be drilled. You can use the holes from the "old" thumb rest. The Etude can be put on the mounting slide from top down Number of "clicks" reveal progress in height.
The Ton kooiman thumb rests are supplied with a manual in the box.The manuals or instructions how to use and mount the thumb restson your instrument can also be found on the site below, as well.

What is John G.Lake Ministries?
JGLM Brings a complete Biblical message of the New Covenant way of life, as originally intended by our Lord, to His people.
While the benefits of Jesus' life, death and resurrection are available to all, John G. Lake Ministries is specifically looking for those who are not satisfied with the "status quo". We unashamedly bring a revolutionary message to the Body of Christ and the world.
We believe that God is looking for a few serious, committed, and sold out people through whom He can show Himself strong.
We believe that healing is only a part of the total Gospel of Jesus Christ. A large part, yes, but still only a part. We believe that God has provided a total Gospel with a total healing for the total man: spirit, soul, and body.
We believe that Jesus offered no excuse for not believing what He preached, and neither do we. We offer help and healing to anyone, anytime, for anything. We are thankful to Jesus for commissioning us to preach "a Gospel that works"…

If and only if this info is true, it really shows you how immature Gordon is. He could have a little class and play ball until trading him is a possibility. After the debacle in the summer, you'd think he grew up a little.
Maybe he left his tear ducts in Phoenix along with his heart?
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Who is going to trade for a guy who hasn't played this season and has a max contract? Is this dude brain dead? Wouldn't it be best to go and ball out if you want a trade so other teams will actually be interested in your sorry ***. Obviously after his "summer tour" the only team that was interested was Phoenix.
I know what I'd do.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Well, it's sort of a good thing from the Hornets perspective. A legitimately injured Gordon is worth less (trade value wise) than Gordon with a 'fake' injury. Moreover, you tank more games for a higher pick!
I don't see how there isn't a clause where if a player CAN play and WON'T you cant renege/recoup the deal. I mean isn't it essentially the same thing as an EMPLOYEE refusing to work? (this is IF what snowlaw is speculating about trade is true)

It should not be hard to bisect, maybe i can do it sometime in the week-end, it only takes some tens of full kernel builds
But if there's a clear, objective regression with the defaults, is that not a bug? If power usage increases, but performance does not, is that not a bug, even if you don't see it in a custom configuration?
It should not be hard to bisect, maybe i can do it sometime in the week-end, it only takes some tens of full kernel builds
Using this sort of logic it would be safe to say that if kernel 3.7 used more power than 1.0 that it was a regression - when it would just be due to the additional work the kernel needed to do to support new functionality in the kernel.
It is completely silly to perform these sorts of tests, they benefit no-one except Mr. Larabel.
I find it really hard to believe 3.6 enables some new functionality that takes 6-8 watts.
Now, can we get back on topic?
Btw, links posted so far:

I didn't intend to shut down any civil dialog - I'm just calling it what it is - crap. I even provided evidence. If that's a problem for you, grow some technical skills and tell my why I'm wrong without referencing a forum post and a patch that injects wait states into kernel functions.
Where is the kernel mailing list post that confirms the bug - or even Michael's kernel mailing list post that lets them know the potential bug even exists.

List or list box is a powerful GUI (Graphical User Interface) tool which is used to display more then one items at a time to the user, sometimes with the intent of allowing the user to select one or more then one items from the list, while at other times the intent is just to display a non selectable list of content. List allows the user to view a logical collection of related items like Contacts, SMS, and Settings etc.
For more details on list and list boxes check the links below:-
While list boxes are a powerful GUI component by themselves but from a usability perspective it is very important to ensure that the user doesn't feel overwhelmed or irritated in using the list box. Every aspect of the application has to ensure a nice user experience and list boxes are no different.
[edit] Some common things to remember while using a list box are:-
- Display only logical related contents in the list box
The list box by its definition is a GUI element to display a logically related set of items/entities. Always ensure that this golden rule of usage is followed, for instances don't mix content which doesn't belong together into a list, as this would end up confusing the user. For instance if you are developing a log application, make sure that you show only missed calls in the missed call lists, received in received call lists and so on. Mismatching would not only be an irritant for the user it would also make the program logic and later code maintenance a tougher task from a developer team's perspective.
- Compress display content on the list box item
Although the lists allow you to display a lot of content in the individual items, but it is always a good idea to compress the text to only the most important/relevant content. This is all the more critical on the constrained display area of the mobile device, as you don't want a single item hogging most of the real estate leaving hardly any space for the other items. It would also be a good idea to show the long/detailed text in a separate detailed view which can be opened by pressing the Select/Center Soft Key of the device. While on the list view you can truncate the content by displaying ellipsis at the end to denote to the user that there is more text which is not being displayed because of space constraints.
If you think that beyond a certain length, text doesn't make sense you should possibly bring up an information note or some other dialog to notify the user of the same rather then just blocking user input while the user is entering the text.
- Enable marquee in case you have lot of content in the list
You should consider using a marquee in case you think that the entire content has to be displayed on the list itself and you don't want the user to navigate to a detailed view to see the content neither do you want to truncate the text for one reason or the other.
For more on marquee:-
- Implement scroll bars in case you have more content
More often then not the list could have more items then what can be displayed on the view in one shot, in those cases you should allow the user the ability to scroll up/down the list so that they can view all the items. In cases of a custom drawing implementation make sure that the content being displayed on the view is scrolled consistently i.e. at the same speed and gives the same consistent look and feel.
For more details on scrollbar implementation in Symbian C++, check:-
- Implement a search box specially if you have lot of items
From a user's stand point it is imperative to provide them with the option to search a particular item, so that they don't have to scroll up/down and waste precious time in trying to locate an item. This is all the more crucial in applications like contacts/chat clients etc where you are most likely to have lots of contacts/buddies and the user might want to dial/chat quickly with a particular person.
Where-ever possible you should also provide the user to customize the search options like search by name/number etc. In some cases even implementing an auto-complete approach would give a nice experience to the user where they don't have to manually type in the entire name before the search results are displayed.
For more details on search field implementation in Symbian C++, check:-
- Allow user the option to sort the list in some orders
Sorting is also a standard option that you should provide the user in cases of long lists. Sorting could especially be helpful in cases where the user wants to analyze the last usage patterns, recent dialed, most dialed, most viewed content etc. Sorting can be more aptly defined as not a must have but rather a good to have feature. Sometimes the good to have feature are what differentiate your product from a competitor's offering. For instance in case of a log application if you allowed the user to sort based on most talked, least talked, most received calls from number options it would be highly appreciated by the user and it can be very well used as a USP for the product.
- Use the right list box depending on the content being displayed
Always use the right list box from the options available instead of using a blanket "one fits all" approach. For instance if the intent is to just display text and no icons, do not use a list box which supports icons as well.
- Show/hide menu options based on current list box selection
It is very important to change the visibility of the menu items depending upon the currently selected item. You do not possibly want to show an option to the user which is not applicable for the current item and then either throw an error dialog stating 'request not applicable' or do nothing, both the cases are likely to be equally bad from a usability stand point.
- Show drop down menu options
Sometimes it would be useful and desirable to show a menu in place itself rather then using the default menu layout where it pops up at the bottom of the screen. One should be careful in deciding the layout of the drop down menu and also have a mechanism to select the menu options and allow the user to cancel the drop down menu if they so desire.
- Icons/different backgrounds should be used to help the user quickly differentiate between types of items.
- While activating a view containing list, make sure the currently selected item is visible.
- If the list does not have any item to be displayed, inform the user about the empty list by displaying some text in the main pane of the application. In case there is a search box implementation, ensure the searchbox is hidden in this case.

School gardens, space flight, Facebook passwords, predatory lenders, suspicious irrigation equipment and reporting elder abuse are all the subject of new laws taking effect in the new year.
June Mountain Ski Area just might be more difficult to keep closed than it is to keep open.
Although the ski area will not open this winter, the mountain itself is still there ŌĆō big, gorgeous, tree-free, covered in a deep blanket of white ŌĆō and itŌĆÖs proving irresistible to some snowmobilers and backcountry skiers.
ThereŌĆÖs only one problem.
It might get them hurt, or even killed.
ThatŌĆÖs because the ski area right now is neither fish nor fowl, neither a true, groomed and heavily managed ski area, nor a true wilderness backcountry.
That makes it dangerous.
Several local residents have taken an oath, swearing to look after some of the communityŌĆÖs most vulnerable citizens.
On Monday, Dec. 17, Presiding Inyo County Superior Court and Juvenile Court Judge Dean Stout conducted a swearing-in ceremony for the first group of Court Appointed Special Advocates for the Eastern Sierra in the historic courtroom in Independence.
A routine California Air National Guard training exercise came to an abrupt halt Thursday afternoon when an F-16C fighter jet from Fresno crashed on Owens Lake about 10 miles south of Lone Pine.
According to the Air National Guard, the pilot was able to safely eject from the aircraft after reporting an in-flight emergency at about 3:30 p.m. Thursday.
