Bellmont football coach Larry Getts, who led Bellmont to only its second sectional crown in school history this past fall, feels that team stayed together despite a tough start, and that allowed the squad to prosper in the 3A playoffs.
"The biggest highlight was watching these kids come together as a team, seeing them believe in the invisible and make it a reality. The 2011 team demonstrated time and again what it means to play for the guy next to you," said Getts, who took over a program in a bit of disaray.
Despite a 3-6 regular season, Bellmont toughened up in the playoffs, knocked off a good Yorktown team and then shocked Western for the sectional crown.
"Next year is yet to be told ... but we do have a blueprint," said Getts.

BOISE -- The Boise State Broncos (3-0) will face off against the University of New Orleans Privateers (1-1) on Saturday November 23 at 10:00 a.m. MST in New Orleans, Louisiana.
This will be the first road game of the season for Boise State.
The Broncos are coming off a 86-68 win over Seattle University on Tuesday, while the Privateers are coming off a 54-81 loss against Lousiana State University.
This is the second meeting between the two teams. On December 23, 2012, Boise State beat New Orleans 67-51 in Las Vegas.
The game versus New Orleans probably won't be the farthest that the team will be traveling for a road game this season. After doing some searching, we found mileages listed between the cities in the Delta Airlines timetable, and for Saturday's game the team traveled (as they connected in Salt Lake City) 1,719 miles but come December 10, the team will be traveling 1,790 miles to Lexington, Kentucky (if they connect through Minneapolis) where they will face the University of Kentucky Wildcats. However, the miles traveled also depend on their final flight itinerary, and what city the team connects through to their final destination.
However, the team is no stranger to traveling. KTVB's Sports Director Jay Tust, ran into the team Thursday on the flight from Boise to Salt Lake City and talked to Coach Leon Rice about the traveling, before the team continued onto New Orleans.
We got a lot of world travelers on this team, with four foreigners, and all of them seem pretty good, said Rice.
The radio broadcast of the game will be on the Bronco Radio Network, including 670 AM KBOI and also on Bronco Sports.

WORCESTER 24,28i RSF,24,28i JUNIOR EXPANSION VESSEL 87161055450
WORCESTER 24,28i RSF,24,28i JUNIOR EXPANSION VESSEL 87161055450
The Expansion Vessel ensures that the boiler can't over pressurise, this device is designed to allow expansion within the system water when the temperature is raised.
Water, when heated, expands and becomes larger in size, the expansion vessel is designed in such a way that it allows for this expansion to take place in a safe way.
Common faults when these aren't working are:
1) The boiler constantly requires re-pressurising; this is normally every morning after the heating has been on the previous evening.
2) The pipe that goes to the outside of the property is dripping constantly especially when the central heating is on.
3) If the pipe isn't connected to the outside of the property then the dripping will be located under the boiler and can be very hot indeed.A good way of checking if the expansion vessel is faulty is to make sure the heating and hot water haven't been on for 2-3 hours ensuring all the water within the heating system is cold.
Re-pressurise the boiler up to 1 bar on the pressure gauge (please note we can't be held responsible if the pressure gauge is faulty) then turn on your central heating. If the pressure gauge goes up to 3 bar within in 15-30 minutes and the pipe is leaking to outside, this indicates that you have a problem with the expansion vessel.
The above problems could also indicate that the pressure relief valve is faulty too, we recommend that this is changed at the same time as the expansion vessel.
Please note the above is for information only and is not a diagnosis of your boiler fault, we take no responsibility for a wrong diagnosis of the fault to your boiler.
This Worcester 87161055450 Expansion Vessel fits the following boilers:
24i JUNIOR RSF (LPG)

Home Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan, on Saturday, saved an eight-year-old girl from the hands of a miscreant and personally handed over the criminal to police.
The Changanassery police said the girl was walking along the Main Central (MC) road at Thuruthy near Changanassery when she was lifted up in the air by the miscreant. The girl started crying and the Home Minister, who was on his way to Kottayam, saw the girl and told his driver to stop the vehicle. The girl cried for help and the Minister, his gunman, and the driver got off and took the girl from the man.
The police was called in and the man, who tried to run away, was caught by the Minister's driver and gunman. The man was handed over to the police. The police said the man showed symptoms of mental illness and was giving them different identities. The girl was handed over to her parents.

Updated from 5:54 p.m. ET to include information on the approval of a debt deal for Greece by the International Monetary and eurzone officials, as well as news about Dollar General and Las Vegas Sands.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's a little more than a month left in 2012, and at least one firm thinks investors shouldn't count on much more upside for stocks from here.
"We suspect that the largest gains for the year are behind us, and recommend conservative positioning for the remainder of the year," wrote Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in commentary on Monday. "Our near term model signals caution, as earnings revisions and management guidance ratios have deteriorated amid a choppy earnings season. And an unusually high number of macro risks appear to be looming, including the US fiscal cliff, Europe and EM growth disappointments, and tensions in the Middle East."
For 2013, B of A strategist Savita Subramanian has a year-end 2013 target of 1600 for the S&P 500, so she remains bullish about the long-term prospects for stocks, supporting that view with a forecast for "modest multiple expansion" with earnings growth pegged at around 7%.The question mark presented by the fiscal cliff though means a number of wildly differing possibilities remain in play. "Market implications under various scenarios of the cliff range from the S&P 500 climbing as high as 1600 under a surprise resolution, pulling forward next year's gains, to falling to 1250 if we were to go over the cliff for a short period of time before it is fixed retroactively," the firm said. "In the unlikely event that we go over the cliff for an extended period of time and a recession ensues, we think the market could correct to 1000." B of A is suggesting investors "

Mallinger leads Frys.com after 62
SAN MARTIN, Calif. (AP)
John Mallinger opened a four-stroke lead in the Frys.com Open by making an eagle and two birdies on the final four holes of Friday's second round, moving to 9-under 62.
RIGHT ON!Sean Connery is fired up about the US Open. And he is pretty hyped about these things, too.
Mallinger eagled the par-5 15th - hitting a 5-wood to 10 feet - and closed with consecutive birdies to cap his second straight bogey-free round and reach 14-under 128.
He matched the CordeValle record and his PGA Tour best with the 62.
''Any time you get it that low everything was kind of clicking,'' Mallinger said. ''Drove it great, irons were great, and made putts.''
He tapped in for birdie on 17, and made a 15-footer on 18.
''It's the same grass I practice on at home,'' Mallinger said. ''I'm just real comfortable with the speed. I just have some good thoughts over the putter right now, and that's not every week. Hopefully, I can take advantage of it and keep it going into the weekend.''
The 33-year-old Mallinger is winless in seven seasons on the PGA Tour. He has finished second twice, losing in a playoff to Bo Van Pelt in Milwaukee in 2009.
TROPHY WAGsFor some golfers, the biggest prizes aren't their tournament wins but their wives and girlfriends.
''I feel like I'm close,'' Mallinger said. ''I'm not going into the weekend scared. I'm going to play and compete as hard as I can.''
Billy Horschel and Jhonattan Vegas were second. Horschel had a 65, and Vegas shot 67.
Horschel also birdied the final two holes, escaping trouble on the par-4 17th.
Vegas is 126th on the money list, with the top 125 earning full 2013 cards.
''It's never good to finish one spot out, but it's something you got to deal with,'' Vegas said. ''Just got to try to put that behind and focus on the next tournament.''
First-round leader Nick O'Hern followed his opening 62 with a 71 to drop into a tie for fourth at 9-under with European Ryder Cup player Nicolas Colsaerts and Scott Dunlap.
''Didn't play as well as yesterday,'' O'Hern said. ''Probably had nine more putts, so there is the nine strokes. I didn't quite hit it as close as I did, but, all in all, I'm pleased.''
Colsaerts had a 68, and Dunlap shot 63.
Colsaerts is a special temporary PGA Tour member and needs to finish the equivalent of 125th on the money list to earn a full 2013 card. The long-hitting Belgian player has earned $652,886, enough now for the 120th spot.
''My goal was to just make sure that I get the most out of this week so I can have the freedom to do whatever I want next year,'' Colsaerts said. ''We're looking good right now, but there are still two rounds to go and a lot of guys can still move up the leaderboard.''
British Open winner Ernie Els was 3 under after a 68.
Mike Weir missed the cut by a stroke with rounds of 71 and 71, leaving the Canadian 0 for 13 this season. John Daly also failed to advance to weekend play, shooting 75-70.

LPA off Aurora now tropical depression 'Odette'
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — The low pressure area off Aurora being monitored by the weather bureau intensified into a tropical depression Monday afternoon, and was named "Odette."
The cyclone was last observed 930 kilometers east of Casiguran, packing maximum sustained winds of 45 kilometers per hour near the center. It was moving slowly at west northwest at 7 kph, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said in its afternoon bulletin.
Although it will not yet directly affect any part of the country, it will bring moderate to heavy rains within its 300-kilometer diameter. It will also enhance the southwest monsoon that will bring moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and Occidental Mindoro.
The southwest monsoon is affecting Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas.
The rest of Luzon and Visayas will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms, Pagasa said.
Mindanao will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest to south will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest with slight to moderate seas.

Story and photo by RINTOS MAIL firstname.lastname@example.com
SARAWAK Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) will spend RM30mil to boost the Kuching tourism sector.
Its general manager Wan Lisozman Wan Omar said the expenditure would include the setting up of the proposed Damai Bay Bazaar and the upgrading of two other facilities – the popular Kuching Waterfront and Top Spot Food Court in Taman Kereta.
The Damai Bay Bazaar, which is currently under construction, is sited on a 1ha site along a scenic bay facing the South China Sea in between Damai Beach Resort and Damai Puri Resort and Spa fronting the Sarawak Cultural Village.
Wan Lisozman, who is also SEDC tourism and leisure director, said the project would involve the conversion of the hard-to-reach seafront into an oasis of leisure and recreation.
He told press briefing at Menara SEDC in Kuching yesterday that the bazaar, the latest addition to SEDC's tourism facilities, was aimed at bringing vibrancy to the Damai area with its mix of shopping, leisure, recreation and dining facilities to complement the surrounding resorts and attractions.
He said that some spaces and retail shops at the bazaar would be rented out to potential tenants while others would be operated by the properties owned by SEDC in the area.
On the Kuching Waterfront and Top Spot Food Court, he said the upgrading work, which was still in progress, was part of SEDC's continuous efforts to help create and deliver a memorable experience for visitors to the city.
He said the 1km Kuching Waterfront would be extended by 380m from Khatulistiwa to an area behind Grand Margherita Hotel and Menara SEDC.
The extension works, entailed the addition of a broadwalk elevated over the river as well as the partial reclamation and enlargement of the riverbank at strategic locations, he added.
He said the upgrading work on the Kuching Waterfront was expected to be completed in February next year.
On the Top Spot Food Court, he said the refurbishment work which started in March was scheduled for completion in November.
"Upgrading works at Top Spot Food Court include a larger covered dinning area at the on level 6 of the building, a surau, a new lift and a new washroom facilities on level 5 to accommodate the physically challenged.
"We are also upgrading the two lifts at the building to accommodate more passengers," he added.
Wan Lisozman said that SEDC was also upgrading the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV), the icon of the state and a must-visit attraction for local and foreign visitors.
The upgrading works include the new Bidayuh Longhouse to replace the existing one, the Rainforest World Music Gallery, Arts Learning Centre and Tea Garden.
Wan Lisozman said the new Bidayuh Longhouse was built to accommodate the popular village-stay programme, while the Rainforest World Music Gallery would house a collection of musical instruments from all over the world and serve
as a performance venue for the award-winning musical group Tuku Kame.
He said the Arts Learning Centre, which would be located at the village's Dewan Legenda, would comprise a studio, a resource centre, a costume gallery and a lecture room. The Tea Garden will be situated at the waterfall area.
"Upon completion, there will be interactive performances by artistes of SCV such as fashion shows and musical jamming sessions. There will also be local tea on sale and served at the Tea Pavillion," he added.
All four projects, according to Wan Lisozman, were funded by the Federal Government under the stimulus package.
SEDC has been one of the state's major tourism players since the 1970s, pioneering the development of international class hotels, resorts and tourist attractions in Kuching and Damai.

Rama: Use Malacañang sa Sugbu as 911 command center
CEBU City Mayor Michael yesterday proposed to locate the planned emergency response command center somewhere within the Malacañang sa Sugbu compound in Cebu City's port area.
He said this was "strategically located" and "closer to the north and the south district."
Permission will have to be sought from the Office of the President which has jurisdiction over the two-storey structure beside Plaza Independencia.
The mayor said he still wants to see the old Customs House used as a museum to showcase memorabilia of the country's presidents and Cebu art
"Let it continue to have its heritage value," he said.
Rama's statement followed a presentation made Thursday by the Cebu City Risk Reduction and Management Council before private sector and civic groups on the proposal to set up a 24/7 emergency command and control center patterned after the 911 system of the United States.
Alvin Santillana, CRRMC operations head, sought private sector support on the project that would need at least P80 million.
So far, they have identified P40 million to be taken from the 2013 disaster funds of the city.
Under the original proposal, Santillana said the command center could be put up in the disaster office building in barangay Mambaling.
Rama said he still has to be briefed in detail about the project and its funding needs.
The mayor said he was keen on putting up the emergency command center in the Malacañang as Sugbu to form part of his plans for a heritage village there.
The center could start by catering to Cebu City's emergency needs and later expand to service the entire province and then the region.
Rama said this needs private sector help to ensure efficent operations because the project can't be done by government alone.
He cited the example of private contractors who immediately field their heavy equipment to respond to landslides in the mountain barangays.
Rama said that also plans to integrate the Mobile Alarm Response System (MARS) which was set up during the time of former mayor Tomas Osmeña.
He said that MARS , which uses text messaging in communicating with emergency esponders, would continue to have features that will complement the planned emergency system.
MARS could be an alternative chanel of communication in case telephone lines are down cutting off access to the integrated emergency system is down./Doris C. Bongcac Chief of Reporters

Real estate broker Fred Miehe is pictured in the pool house of convicted criminal Russell Wasendorf. The pool can cost as much as $10,000 a month to heat in winter. / David Purdy/Register file photo
The sprawling 20-acre estate formerly owned by Russell Wasendorf Sr. in Cedar Falls includes a swimming pool, wood shop, gazebo and guesthouse. Ken and Linda Alberts of Rochelle, Ill., have purchased the place. David Purdy/Register file photo
Son was NFL player
The Albertses� son Trevor was a star linebacker at the University of Nebraska and the fifth overall pick in the 1993 NFL draft. He played three years with the Indianapolis Colts and is now athletic director of the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
The Albertses� son Roy also lives in Omaha, and their daughter lives near the Cedar Falls-Waterloo area.
Ken Alberts served 12 years as city manager in Rochelle, Ill., which is about 75 miles west of Chicago, before retiring in 2011. Before that, he spent 30 years working at Cedar Falls Utilities.
Former Cedar Falls residents Ken and Linda Alberts are returning to the area in style as the new owners of the 20-acre estate that once belonged to disgraced financier Russell Wasendorf.
The retired city manager of Rochelle, Ill., plans to spend time with his three children and 12 grandchildren on the sprawling property, which is just a few miles from downtown Cedar Falls. He joked Wednesday about charging the curious a fee of $500 a day to search the grounds for the coffee cans full of cash some locals believe are buried there.
Wasendorf, the former owner of the defunct Peregrine Financial Group futures brokerage, was sentenced to 50 years in prison last week for embezzling $215 million from more than 13,000 customers. Court officials have been trying to fill a $190 million shortfall in the $400 million owed to its customers, creditors and employees by selling off his real estate holdings and belongings.
�It was really the only acreage-style property close to Cedar Falls, which is exactly what we were looking for,� Alberts said, noting that he and his wife have horses at their present 12-acre home. �We do have grandkids and we do have lots of friends and we hope that our church family will also have a chance to take advantage of some of the amenities on the property.�
One victim described Wasendorf�s crime, which helped undermine investor confidence in the $37 trillion futures market, as an �incalculable heartache� for Wasendorf�s former customers and employees.
Gale Bonsall, the Realtor handling the pending sale for Oakridge Realtors, said the winning bid for the estate was close to the $595,000 asking price, which was reduced from the initial $750,000 price tag. He announced the contract signing Wednesday.
There were two bidders for the estate, which features an enclosed pool with a retractable roof valued at $1.4 million when it was built. It also has a three-story main house, two smaller homes, a treehouse the size of a guard tower, sand volleyball court, and an exterior kitchen, pizza oven and dining area.
The 3,753-square-foot main house has a basement piano bar, a copper roof and gutters, three kitchens, a home theater, a greenhouse, a sunroom with hot tub, and a marble fireplace.
�I�ve been in real estate for 37 years, and this is one of the better deals I�ve seen a buyer get,� Bonsall said. �It�s good to see the home going to Iowa natives returning to the state. At the same time, it�s sad to see all the damage Mr. Wasendorf has done.�
Former Peregrine customers are expected to get less than half of their money back.
Michael Eidelman, the court-appointed bankruptcy receiver, said he now has contracts for the sale of the restaurants, estate, and warehouse in Cedar Falls and a Chicago waterfront condo. They have a combined value of $3 million, he said. His team is still searching for a buyer for the $24 million corporate headquarters in a wooded area near Cedar Falls.
Eidelman described the deal on the estate as the �buy of a lifetime.� The huge pool was a negative for some would-be buyers, he said, because it costs as much as $10,000 a month to heat it in the winter.
The 10,500-square-foot glass structure features a whirlpool, a steam room, a sauna, separate locker rooms for men and women, and a horseshoe-shaped pool.
An auction of Wasendorf�s personal belongings raised more than $1 million in December. The 1,100 lots featured everything from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird to some 4,000 wine bottles.
Alberts said the estate�s former owner played no role in his evaluation of the property. Neither did its gaudy swimming pool. He just wanted some space near his longtime hometown.
�I may fill in the pool with sand and create an indoor arena for my horses,� Alberts joked. �Really, we just wanted some space near town for the kids and grandkids.�

Roussea simplex
Adult male gecko forages at fruits of Roussea simplex, using a mixture of licking and chewing at the pulp and swallowing the tiny seeds in the process (Photo: D. M. Hansen)
Species information
Roussea simplex Sm.
liane Rousseau (French)
Critically Endangered (CR) according to IUCN Red List criteria.
Wet high-altitude forest.
Scientific interest; potential ornamental.
None known.
About this species
Roussea simplex is a climbing shrub, or liana, native to the mountain forests of Mauritius, and is considered to be a 'botanical oddity'. First, it is the only species in the genus Roussea, so if it became extinct we would lose not just a species, but a whole genus and a family of plants. In addition, it has puzzled botanists for many years, because careful study of its form and structure have yielded no clues as to which other plant families it is related to. Recent genetic studies have shed light on this question and placed it close to the Campanulaceae (bellflower family).

Geography and distribution
Roussea simplex is restricted to the island of Mauritius in the southwest Indian Ocean, where only two small populations have been recorded.
Overview: Roussea simplex is a climbing shrub, or liana, that can form bushes. It has cylindrical stems, on which the leaves are held opposite each other.
Leaves: The leaves have a toothed margin and are glossy on the upper surfaces but 'furry' and grey on the undersides.
Flowers: The attractive, bright orange flowers are bell-shaped with four or five rather thick petals. The flowers have nectaries that secrete large quantities of yellowish nectar. The sepals are retained when the fruits ripen.
Fruits: The fruits are conical and ridged, with an almost star-like appearance when viewed from above.
The flowers are pollinated and the seeds dispersed by the Mauritian blue-tailed day gecko (Phelsuma cepediana).
Gecko pollination
Strangely enough, the only known pollinator of Roussea simplex is a reptile: the rare, endemic Mauritian blue-tailed day gecko (Phelsuma cepediana). This colourful reptile climbs the plant to reach the flowers and feed on the abundant nectar, pollinating the flowers in the process.
But the interaction with the gecko does not end there - the fruits have the shape (and to some extent, the function) of the teat of a baby-bottle and secrete a 'jelly' that contains minute seeds. This secretion is licked and eaten by the blue-tailed gecko, which in turn disperses the seeds in its droppings.
Islands such as Mauritius are well-known for having plants with unusual pollination systems, some of which have been studied recently by scientists at Kew. An example is the orchid Angraecum cadetii found on Réunion Island and pollinated by the 'raspy cricket'.
Threats and conservation
Although recorded as being common on Mauritius in 1937, Roussea simplex is now considered to be Critically Endangered: only about 85 plants, distributed between a few scattered populations, are known to remain.
This dramatic decline is thought to be due to the extensive deforestation of the island and the introduction of exotic animals such as rats, pigs, and goats which grub up or eat the seedlings, and many invasive species of plants, such as guava (Psidium cattleianum) and travellers' tree (Ravenala madagascariensis) which compete for resources.
Curiously, this species is also threatened by a tiny alien animal. The ant Technomyrmex albipes (native to the Indo-Pacific area, but introduced to Mauritius) constructs walls of clay that seal the flowers, which it then uses as 'stables' to confine mealy bugs. The mealy bugs feed on the sap of the plant and secrete drops of a sugar solution which are then drunk by the ants. Interestingly, it is not the sap-sucking of the mealy bugs that harms the plant the most. The real problem is that the ants will attack any blue-tailed day gecko that climbs onto the plant, thereby preventing the plant's reproduction, the gecko being the only known pollinator.
Attempts to cultivate Roussea simplex from seed in Mauritius have been unsuccessful until recently; not a single seed could be germinated.
The tiny seeds are embedded in a jelly-like pulp, which must be removed to prevent the seeds from rotting, and it has been very difficult to separate them in practice. In the wild, this jelly coating is digested during its passage down the blue-tailed day gecko's gut.
Some seeds were finally cleaned by macerating the jelly in water for a few hours and then decanting the liquid to separate it from the seeds.
Kew horticulturist Carlos Magdalena brought some seeds to Kew in May 2010, and finally succeeded in getting three seeds to germinate and grow into seedlings in the summer of 2010. These are still in Kew's glasshouses.
Innovations in cultivation at Kew
Kew horticulturist Carlos Magdalena had been warned by the Mauritian National Park Service staff that he would be likely to face difficulties when attempting to grow this species from seed, and so therefore decided to try a different technique to sowing the seeds in a traditional way: an unripe fruit was harvested in the field, its outer surfaces were sterilised and it was placed in a sterile flask. This flask was then transported to Kew's Conservation Biotechnology (micropropagation) Unit, which it reached less than 36 hours after collection, and work on trying to culture the embryos contained in the seeds began.
As a result of this trial, several plantlets are currently growing under the care of Kew's Dr. V. Sarasan, though he estimates it may take more than a year before plants can be extracted from the sterile cultures. It is hoped that by the time we can remove them, the lessons learnt from the few plants that are currently being grown using standard methods will provide vital clues on how to cultivate this plant using both tissue culture and standard horticultural techniques. These are just the first steps in Kew's attempt to conserve this interesting species.
This species at Kew
Roussea simplex is currently being grown behind-the-scenes in Kew's Tropical Nursery and the Conservation Biotechnology (micropropagation) Unit.

Budget Chair Weber's Response to Governor's May Revision Budget Proposal:
- Details
SACRAMENTO - Assembly Budget Chair Shirley N. Weber (D- San Diego) issued the following response to the Governor's revised budget proposal released today:
SACRAMENTO - Assembly Budget Chair Shirley N. Weber (D- San Diego) issued the following response to the Governor's revised budget proposal released today:
SACRAMENTO - The Assembly Committee on Education will consider AB 1495 Wednesday, legislation authored by Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) that aims to ensure that teachers who are struggling in the classroom get needed support to improve professional skills while also ensuring that student achievement is factored into job evaluations of both teachers and school administrators.
AB 1495 requires that pupil achievement and outcome goals be used in the evaluation and assessment of teacher and principal job performance. It would also prioritize staff development funding for teachers whose evaluations show need for improvement in terms of student outcomes.
Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent (Left) testifying in support of AB 66, legislation authored by San Diego Assemblymember Shirley Weber (Right), which would provide statewide guidelines for the use of body cameras by law enforcement
Also moves her bill to require juries to be notified if evidence is intentionally withheld
SACRAMENTO – The Assembly Committee on Public Safety passed two bills Tuesday authored by Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego), including AB 66 which would establish statewide guidelines for the use of body-worn cameras by law enforcement; and AB 1328, which would provide judges with the ability to instruct juries when a prosecutor intentionally withholds evidence from the defense.
Assembly Bill (AB) 66 would provide guidelines about when the cameras are to be operated, require notification of those being recorded, and prohibit law-enforcement officers involved in serious use-of-force incidents that result in serious bodily injury or death from viewing the video until they have filed an initial report.
Bill moves with bipartisan support
SACRAMENTO – The Assembly Committee on Education passed legislation, AB 713, authored by Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego), that would require all students in California to attend Kindergarten or at least to demonstrate proficiency in the skills acquired in kindergarten in order to enter the first grade.
Weber, a former San Diego City School Board trustee and president, noted that the voluntary status of kindergarten allows parents to delay their child's entrance into school, leaving students unprepared for the educational environment when they enroll in first grade.
Reporting requirements in both bills to increase transparency and accountability
SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D- San Diego) has introduced a pair of bills aimed at reducing racial profiling and increasing transparency and accountability in use-of-force incidents involving law enforcement.
"California First Act" aimed at increasing state resident access to state-funded schools
SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego), Chair of the Assembly Committee on the Budget, has introduced legislation, The California First Act (AB 1349), which would guarantee undergraduate admission for all eligible California resident applicants to the California State University (CSU) and the University of California (UC). The universities would also report to the Legislature annually on the number of resident undergraduate admissions.
Napolitano to appear before budget committee to justify increased financial burden on students
SACRAMENTO – The Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education, chaired by Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, will hold a hearing on the budgets of the three institutions of higher education at 1:30 PM on Tuesday, March 3rd in the Capitol, Room 444.
Slated to appear before the committee are Janet Napolitano, President, of the University of California; Brice Harris, Chancellor of the California Community Colleges; and Timothy White, Chancellor of California State Universities who will each discuss the budget needs of their respective institutions.
SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) has introduced legislation today aimed at tripling the number of foster children eligible for supplemental educational services through the state's Foster Youth Services (FYS) program. In addition, the bill, AB 854, will enable FYS Coordinators around the state to improve coordination among the various state agencies in support of individual foster children.
"As an educator, I know students in foster care are more likely to achieve their full potential when they are provided services designed to meet their particular needs," said Assemblymember Weber. "It is imperative that California close the foster youth achievement gap so that students in foster care can become independent productive members of society."
SACRAMENTO – In recognition of Black History Month, Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber, in conjunction with the California Legislative Black Caucus, is hosting a viewing of the fifth episode in the acclaimed PBS series "Eyes on the Prize" at noon on Wednesday, February 25th in the State Capitol Room 126. This event is free and open to the public.
"Eyes on the Prize" is an American television series documenting the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S., using archival footage and interviews of participants and opponents of the movement. Please join Assemblymember Weber, previously an Africana Studies' Professor for over 40-years at San Diego State University, as she discusses and subsequently screens the Mississippi: Is This America episode of this 14-part series. Emphasis will be placed on NAACP leader Medgar Evers and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Legislation Would Make California the First in the Nation to Require Two Week Scheduling Notice for Employees Dealing with Work Schedule Uncertainty
Assemblymembers Shirley Weber (D-San Diego) and Davis Chiu (D-San Francisco) introducing the Fair Scheduling Ac, AB 357, on the floor of the Assembly. The bill will provide protections for California's part-time workers.
SACRAMENTO –Dr. Shirley N. Weber (D – San Diego) and Assemblymember David Chiu (D – San Francisco) have introduced AB 357, first-in-the-nation state legislation that would require food and retail establishments with 500 or more employees in California to provide at least two weeks scheduling notice for their workers and additional pay for last minute schedule changes.
"It's an unfortunate economic reality that part-time work isn't just for teenagers anymore. Part-time workers are now adults who may require multiple jobs to support themselves and their families," said Assemblymember Weber. "This abusive practice of last-minute scheduling hobbles workers who are taking the initiative to support themselves, and requires taxpayer subsidy in the form of greater need for public assistance for those who cannot. These workers need scheduling far enough in advance to work those other jobs, to arrange childcare and transportation, and to pursue education and training. AB 357 will facilitate that."

It's was the Garces boys basketball blueprint, all over again: Lean on a couple of star players, let your role players out-work everybody on the court and reach a Central Section championship game.
For the 16th time in school history, the Rams are going to Valley after a 65-49 wire-to-wire home win over Lemoore in the section Division II semifinals on Wednesday night.
"It's all part of our recipe," said Garces coach Gino Lacava. "We're fortunate when we have stars, but all of our kids know their role really well. They each have two to three roles they play each game, and they generally take care of them. They did it really well tonight."
No. 2 seed Garces (20-8) will play No. 5 Hanford West (18-12) at 8 p.m. Friday in Fresno's Selland Arena for the D-II title. They'll be looking for their 12th title, according to section historian Bob Barnett, but it's the Rams' first trip since 2009, when they beat Liberty for the D-II crown.
"It means everything," junior Rashad Jackson said. "I've been trying to get here every year, and we finally made it."
As usual, the headliners were Jackson, with 21 points and 16 rebounds; and sophomore Sheldon Croney, who finished with 19 points and 7 boards.
But Garces, which took control with a 10-0 run to begin the second half and never led by fewer than nine after that, got so much more from its less heralded players.
Justin Gapper hit three important 3-pointers, including a dagger that stretched the lead to 13 with less than three minutes left. Tim Pena scored 13 points, and smooth ball-handling from Pena, Eric Parra and Matt Layton was instrumental in beating Lemoore's full-court pressure.
"Everybody has a job to do, and everybody has to come hard, and they did it tonight," Jackson said.
Garces, despite a significant disadvantage in size, had five players collect at least five rebounds and enjoyed a 45-29 edge on the glass.
