A woman holding a baby boy fell eight stories out of a New York City apartment window to her death in an apparent suicide, but the baby survived, police said.
Police found the 45-year-old woman with the baby in her arms. An officer took the baby to a hospital, where he was listed in critical but stable condition. The baby was believed to be about 10 months old.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene, police said yesterday. The apartment window was open, and there were no signs of struggle inside. There were no safety bars on the windows.
Area resident Steven Dominguez, 18, was walking to a grocery store with his mother when he saw the woman fall.
"I heard a scream like a yell," Dominguez said. "When I got closer, I saw the baby crying."
He said the baby was face down.
"I was shocked," he said. "I couldn't believe it."
He said his mother went to pick up the baby, but an emergency responder told her to stand back.

Erisbel Arruebarrena Rumors
Dodgers Suspend Erisbel Arruebarrena For Season
5:23pm: The Dodgers say that Arruebarrena has been suspended for the season due to "repeated failures to comply with his contract," per J.P. Hoornstra of the L.A. News Group (Twitter link).
3:47pm: The Dodgers have indefinitely suspended Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena for undisclosed disciplinary reasons, reports Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman confirmed to Plunkett that the 25-year-old Arruebarrena is suspended but declined to give further detail, referring to the situation as an "internal matter." As Plunkett points out, that would suggest that Arruebarrena has not done something that would warrant a league-mandated suspension (e.g. PED usage, drug of abuse).
Arruebarrena won't collect any of his guaranteed salary while he is on the restricted list. The defensive-minded shortstop signed a five-year, $25MM contract with the Dodgers in February 2014 that contained a $7.5MM signing bonus and called for annual salaries of $1.5MM (2014), $3MM (2015), $4MM (2016-17) and $5MM (2018). The Dodgers' new front office — headed by Friedman, GM Farhan Zaidi and senior vice president Josh Byrnes — clearly was never as enamored with Arruebarrena as the preceding group; Arruebarrena was designated for assignment this offseason and outrighted off the 40-man roster after clearing waivers.
Arruebarrena received a cup of coffee with the Dodgers last year, hitting .195/.244/.220 in just 45 plate appearances at the big league level. His minor league work was more impressive, with his best work coming in 95 PAs at the Triple-A level. Overall, in 272 minor league PAs, Arruebarrena slashed .259/.304/.417 with six homers and a pair of stolen bases. As Plunkett reminds, however, he was also seen as the catalyst in a brawl between the Triple-A affiliates for the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, and his role in that tussle netted him a five-game suspension from the Pacific Coast League.
Friedman declined to indicate exactly how long Arruebarrena would be suspended, but he's yet to play a single game for the Dodgers at any level in 2015.

Dodgers Notes: Pitching, Arruebarrena
Dodgers GM Farhan Zaidi recently spoke with reporters about the club's plans. Here's the latest out of Chavez Ravine:
- Zaidi says the club has no plan to add more starting pitching prior to the season, tweets Ken Gurrick of MLB.com. The club is comfortable turning to Joe Wieland and Mike Bolsinger as depth, tweets Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times. Any additions will also be depth pieces (Twitter link). If true, this seemingly eliminates the Dodgers as a destination for Max Scherzer, James Shields, and Cole Hamels.
- The Dodgers have discussed recently designated shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena with clubs before today, tweets Shaikin. Zaidi says Arruebarrena has come up in talks with three to five clubs (via Twitter). The additions of Jimmy Rollins, Howie Kendrick, and Enrique Hernandez made Arruebarrena expendable. My own two cents: the Phillies have a gaping hole at shortstop, but I assume Arruebarrena came up during the Rollins trade talks. That could mean Philadelphia isn't interested in the Cuban.
- Also per Zaidi, the Dodgers aren't pursuing any free agent relievers. Any addition would come via trade, according to Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles (Twitter).

Dodgers Designate Erisbel Arruebarrena
The Dodgers have announced that they've designated shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena for assignment. The move clears space on their 40-man roster for Brett Anderson, whose signing is now official.
The Dodgers only signed Arruebarrena early this year, and he still has four years and $16MM on his contract. Clearly, the Dodgers' new front office does not think as highly of Arruebarrena as the old one did, although it's likely he'll wind up back with the Dodgers organization anyway, as he's a good bet to clear waivers. A trade is also a possibility. The 24-year-old Cuban defector hit .259/.304/.417 in 272 plate appearances split between four minor-league levels this season, notably playing a key role in an ugly brawl with Triple-A Albuquerque. He also struggled through 45 plate appearances in the big leagues, hitting .195/.244/.220. Arruebarrena does, however, have a strong defensive reputation.

NL West Notes: Kemp, Kim, Giants, Arruebarrena
Before dealing Matt Kemp to one division rival, they were in deep talks with another about a deal, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter). The Diamondbacks rejected L.A.'s request for center fielder A.J. Pollock but was willing to ship top pitching prospect Archie Bradley to add Kemp. Of course, we do not know the details of those discussions, including especially the amount of Kemp's salary that would have been covered.
Here's the latest from the National League West:
- The Padres are unlikely as things stand to reach agreement with Kwang-hyun Kim before today's deadline, SB Nation's Chris Cotillo tweets. With a 2pm PST expiration, we could learn more on that situation soon.
- The Giants intend to add a starter sooner rather than later and do not intend to participate in a drawn-out bidding process, AGM Bobby Evans told reporters including John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle (Twitter link).
- In addition to checking in with Asdrubal Cabrera, the Giants have inquired with Jed Lowrie about his interest in spending time at second or third, also per Evans. (Via Shea, on Twitter.) Lowrie apparently indicated that would be a possibility. The team could theoretically add a player at second and move Joe Panik to third, Evans also told the scribes, per MLB.com's Chris Haft (via Twitter).
- The Dodgers will be open to moving shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena after the Jimmy Rollins deal is finalized, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. The 24-year-old is owed $16MM over the next four years.

Dodgers Sign Erisbel Arruebarrena
FEB. 22: The deal is now official, the Los Angeles Times' Dylan Hernandez tweets.
FEB. 21, 6:51pm: Arrubarrena gets a five year deal for $25MM, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, including a $7.5MM signing bonus.
3:53pm: The deal is for five years, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com.
FEB. 20: MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports that Arruebarrena's deal is believed to be five or six years in length. According to Sanchez, Arruebarrena is working out in the Dominican Republic as he awaits his work Visa. Without the Visa, the contract cannot be finalized, which is why the Dodgers have yet to make an official announcement. GM Ned Colletti did tell Sanchez the following:
"We signed Alexander [Guerrero] and we're trying to sign another player because it's tough in the Draft to find those players. You are pretty limited in the Draft as far as good hitters that can play in the middle of the infield. The way we look at it, we have the need for it in our organization and we've gone after them the way we have."
FEB. 12, 3:20pm: Arruebarrena's contract could be worth around $25MM, a source tells Rojas (Spanish language link).
12:27pm: The Dodgers have agreed to terms with Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarrena, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick (Twitter link). Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reported earlier today that the two sides were nearing an agreement, and Arruebarrena was traveling to the United States to take a physical.
The 23-year-old Arruebarrena has six seasons of professional experience in Cuba's Serie Nacional and therefore is not subject to the spending restrictions placed on international amateurs. Arruebarrena is considered an elite defensive shortstop, but most scouts have serious questions about his bat. Though Arruebarrena batted .320/.367/.520 in 306 plate appearances in Cuba from 2011-12, Ben Badler of Baseball America spoke with multiple scouts at the time of his defection and noted that many questioned whether Arruebarrena could manage a .220 average or .300 OBP in the Majors. He's also not a particularly fast player, further limiting his offensive upside. Given all of that info, it's not difficult to see why Arruebarrena has drawn comparisons to fellow Cuban shortstop Jose Iglesias.
Arruebarrena adds to the Dodgers' infield depth, but it's unlikely that he'll be ready to make an immediate impact in the Major Leagues. Badler noted that some minor league time was almost a certainty for Arruebarrena, adding that he could even have to start at the Double-A level due to his questionable offensive skills. Arruebarrena can serve as an insurance policy in the event that the team is unable to reach an extension with Hanley Ramirez. He could also provide an elite in-house option at short (defensively speaking, that is) should Ramirez sign an extension but eventually need to move to third base. Arruebarrena joins Yasiel Puig and Alexander Guerrero as the third notable Cuban signing for the Dodgers in the past two years.

Quick Hits: Bailey, Burnett, Twins, Samardzija
Even though most of Alex Rodriguez's 2014 salary will be wiped out by his season-long PED suspension, the controversial slugger's contract is still ranked as the worst in baseball by Grantland's Jonah Keri. Of Keri's list of the 15 worst contracts in the sport, the Dodgers have four, the Yankees, Angels and Braves each have two and the Reds, Rangers, Phillies, Blue Jays and White Sox have one each.
Here are some items from around the baseball world…
- The Reds and Homer Bailey are "still talking" about a multiyear contract, GM Walt Jocketty tells MLB.com's Mark Sheldon. "There has not been a lot of progress, but good conversations anyhow," Jocketty said. Bailey's arbitration hearing is scheduled for February 20 and there is a $2.9MM gap ($11.6MM to $8.7MM) between his demands and the Reds' offer for a 2014 contract. This is Bailey's last season under contract with Cincinnati and the two sides are reportedly far apart on a long-term deal. Sheldon suggests that the Reds will be watching the Indians' case with Justin Masterson, as he and Bailey have posted comparable numbers over the last three years and Masterson is also scheduled to be a free agent next offseason.
- The Pirates offered A.J. Burnett a $12MM contract for 2014, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports (Twitter link). This obviously fell short of the $16MM Burnett received from the Phillies earlier today.
- The Twins aren't one of the teams interested in Emilio Bonifacio, 1500 ESPN's Darren Wolfson reports (via Twitter). Bonifacio cleared release waivers and became a free agent earlier today. The Orioles are known to be one of at least nine teams interested in the speedy utilityman.
- Also from Wolfson, a Twins official said that the club "had extensive talks" about Erisbel Arruebarruena but he was judged to be too expensive. The Cuban shortstop agreed to a deal with the Dodgers today that could be worth as much as $25MM.
- The Cubs can afford to be patient in trading Jeff Samardzija, Fangraphs' Jeff Sullivan argues, as teams may be more willing to meet Chicago's large asking price once the free agent pitching market thins out and teams get more desperate once the season begins.
- Right-hander Josh Roenicke is drawing interest from a "handful of teams" and could be signed soon, a source tells MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo (Twitter link). Roenicke posted a 4.35 ERA, 6.5 K/9 and 1.25 K/BB rate in 62 relief innings with the Twins in 2013 before being outrighted off Minnesota's roster in November.
- Also from Cotillo, right-hander Blake Hawksworth has retired. Hawksworth posted a 4.07 ERA and 1.85 K/BB over 124 games (eight as a starter) with the Cardinals and Dodgers from 2009-11 before elbow and shoulder injuries derailed his career. Hawksworth has taken a job with the Boras Corporation, his former agency.
- Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill discussed the club's recent signing of Carlos Marmol with Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald.
- Luis Ayala chose to sign a minor league deal with the Nationals since they (as the Expos) were the franchise that originally signed him and he still has many friends in the organization, the veteran reliever tells Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. Several teams were linked to Ayala this offseason but the bidding came down to the Nats, Tigers and Phillies.

Dodgers Nearing Deal With Cuban Shortstop Arruebarruena
The Dodgers are nearing an agreement with Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebarruena, reports Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes (Spanish link). Arruebarruena, who defected from Cuba last year and established residence in Haiti, is traveling to the United States to take a physical, according to Rojas' source.
The 23-year-old Arruebarruena has six seasons of professional experience in Cuba's Serie Nacional and therefore is not subject to the spending restrictions placed on international amateurs. He is free to sign with any club for any amount.
Arruebarruena is considered an elite defensive shortstop, but most scouts have serious questions about his bat. Though Arruebarruena batted .320/.367/.520 in 306 plate appearances in Cuba from 2011-12, Ben Badler of Baseball America spoke with multiple scouts at the time of his defection and noted that many questioned whether Arruebarruena could manage a .220 average or .300 OBP in the Majors. He's also not a particularly fast player, further limiting his offensive upside. Given all of that info, it's not difficult to see why Arruebarruena has drawn comparisons to fellow Cuban shortstop Jose Iglesias.
This would mark the third significant Cuban signing for the Dodgers in the past two years, as the team has also inked Yasiel Puig and Alexander Guerrero. The Dodgers appear set in the infield with Juan Uribe, Hanley Ramirez, Guerrero (or Chone Figgins, Dee Gordon or Miguel Rojas) and Adrian Gonzalez. However, a deal for Arruebarruena would likely be made with an eye on the long-term. Badler noted in his write-up that the defensive wizard would almost certainly require some minor league seasoning to hone his offensive skills, possibly having to begin at the Double-A level.

Quick Hits: Astros, Papelbon, Happ, Betancourt
As we wind up one of the busiest weeks in the history of baseball transactions, here are a few more notes as we head into the weekend…
- Astros GM Jeff Luhnow is happy to have acquired Dexter Fowler and Scott Feldman before the Winter Meetings, but Luhnow tells reporters (including Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle) that his club has more on its to-do list. "To have them both done before the Winter Meetings is a bonus," Luhnow said. "So now that we can focus on the bullpen and focus on potentially another position player somewhere….We may not be done with starting pitching either. We're still actively talking to some other folks."
- With the Phillies reportedly shopping closer Jonathan Papelbon, Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News feels the team will have a tough time given Papelbon's large salary, signs of decline and his possible attitude issues.
- J.A. Happ could be a trade chip for the Blue Jays if the team needed to free up some payroll space, Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith writes. Happ is set to earn $5.2MM in 2014 with a $6.7MM team option for 2015. The southpaw was limited to 18 starts in 2013 due to head injuries suffered when he was hit in the head with a line drive, as well as a knee injury also stemming from the incident.
- Also from Nicholson-Smith, nothing is imminent with Yuniesky Betancourt, though a number of teams are still interested in the veteran as infield depth. The Marlins were linked to Betancourt last month.
- Erisbel Barbaro Arruebarruena has a good glove at shortstop, is lacking at the plate and is overall not going to provide the impact of recent Cuban signings, a scout tells MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo. "This isn't like watching Aroldis Chapman or Yoenis Cespedes. You're not going to hear from 15 teams. You'll hear from teams that are hurting a little bit at shortstop," the scout said. Arruebarruena will showcase his skills for teams this weekend, and the Mets have been identified as one of the attending clubs.

Cuban Shortstop Arruebarruena Defects
Promising Cuban shortstop Erisbel Barbaro Arruebarruena has left his home country to try and sign with a major league team, according to Ben Badler of Baseball America. Arruebarruena is known for his tremendously sharp defense at the shortstop position, drawing comparisons to Jose Iglesias in the field.
Arruebarruena, 23, has played in Serie Nacional for six seasons, so his bonus will not be subject to the international bonus pools. MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez tweets that Arruebarruena has established residency in Haiti. He will now need to be cleared to sign by the U.S. government and MLB.
Earlier this year, Baseball America ranked Arruebarruena the No. 10 World Baseball Classic prospect not signed with an MLB team. Badler writes that the shortstop is a below-average runner but he makes up for it with a quick first step and solid instincts that give him good range. Scouts have called Arruebarruena a magician in the field, but he'll have to step things up at the plate.
In related news, Cuban reporter Ibrahim Rojas tells MLBTR that 19-year-old pitcher Javier Gonzalez, 22-year-old pitcher Jorge Hernandez, and 25-year-old outfielder Dayron Varona have left Cuba.

Secrets of Success
Starting my third month of Diet Changes (Grok On!)
View ZEN_WOMAN's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from ZEN_WOMAN
Thursday, May 24, 2012
So I am now starting my third month of the Primal diet. I think I am on day 65. I have been doing pretty well. And so far I have lost about 12 pounds, give or take a pound and gotten into my skinnier jeans. But still a size 12. Haven't lost a lot of pounds since the first 2 weeks but am losing inches slowly.
This is the longest I have consciously remained on a diet and really believe this is a liveable lifestyle rather than a fad extreme diet. I have been going through some tough times over the last month and have restarted drinking diet coke to help with my major fatigue and depression but over all I haven't been doing too bad and am not too worried about the non-primal items I have been eating since I know it is due to my mourning process.
The good news:
I have been still trying to stay under 150 carbs a day (even when I am having desserts or bread items). Yes I do have bread items occasionally. Mainly cause they are all around me at work since we get a lot of catering done. And free food makes it easy to plan my lunches.
But last weekend showed me what too much bread does to my bowels. Major stomach issues for 3 days in a row. Not fun. So I know I am better off cutting it out of my food items. I am at least not tempted to eat grains or milk. I am using cheese to put on my eggs. But am drinking almond milk as my dairy substitute and for making protein shakes.
I am just finishing my TOM but before my mayor water gain and stomach issues I actually got down to my lowest WT. to date. 178! (yes it rhymes). I have seen it twice before so want to push past this number and into the 160s. I can not wait it I see 175 then 170 and finally 165!
I am so close but need to be more diligent on my protein and fat intake. I need to up my protein and decrease my fat intake (too many nuts) and of course slash my carb intake (way too many fruits!)
I am going on vacation is a couple weeks (Las Vegas) and plan to drop all the crap out of my diet now so I can eat on plan then. I am going solo so I can plan my food intake easier. Then I come back and do an 18 mile charity event. So should see lbs. drop from that.
My goal is to be 170 by the end of June! So in order to do that I need to start my changes this holiday weekend! (Memorial day) 5 weeks to lose 12 pounds.
Wish me luck,

Restarting my commitment to the Primal diet. Got off the wagon for a few weeks. Even started drinking diet coke in a big way. So now I need to start reducing that and drinking more water but I should be good with my food.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Ok so 170 is completely out of the question at this point today! But I do want to get back to 180 by the end of the month and I think that is doable. I am at an all time high this morning. Not sure why except I have been drinking diet coke like it is my lifeline. So will need to get back on the water train! I also ate an entire package of terriaki ribs and the calories were crazy high.
But I am back from vacation and have finished my 18 mile walk so I have no excuses to get back to healthier habits.

Good for you! I just ordered the Primal Diet book, I'm curious to learn more.

We determined calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc levels in a total of 27 samples of commercial goat- and cow-milk fermented products and 9 samples of a goat-milk fermented product with addition of a probiotic bacterial strain, Lactobacillus fermentum D3, manufactured experimentally by our research group. Atomic absorption spectroscopy with flame atomization and UV/VIS spectrophotometry were used as analytic techniques. The results of an in vitro digestion process showed that the bioavailability of calcium, phosphorus, and zinc was significantly higher in our fermented milk containing the probiotic bacterial strain than it was in commercial goat-milk fermented products. Furthermore, our product showed a significantly higher bioavailability of calcium and zinc compared to goat- and cow-milk fermented products made with other microorganisms. We conclude that, in in vitro assays, strain D3 seems to increase the bioavailability of these minerals and that this new product may constitute a better source of bioavailable minerals compared to other products already on the market.

Currin is that rare and special brand of artist from whom each individual piece incites a special lust from each individual collector; in his generation, he is matched solely in this regard by Elizabeth Peyton.
When we viewed the collection of art connoisseur Ranbir Singh last spring, an ancient Currin, simply depicting a drum major's hat with a seductive pelt of white fur leering above its brim, powerfully brought home the distinct appeal of each Currin to its particular possessor. This is why Currins of all varieties remain, even at $400 grand, substantially undervalued: their sly, subversiveness is irresistible.
We remember how one remarkable Currin piece struck us, in this manner, at Andrea Rosen's old SoHo space, almost a decade ago.
This was Currin's series about a Swiss lust muffin and one painting depicted the lass at the bottom of a clothed stack that seemed to be her family.
The not-so-clear implication was that members of the gang, each enveloped in a dreamy smile, were buggering each other.
But so many unique attributes, redolent of the history of painting east and west, stand out in John Currin's work. Currin is conservative in the best sense of the world: he seeks to perceive what is authentic within the purview of his bent vision, and what is authentic to Currin is the unclassifiability of desire and the conviction that all life is essentially erotic.
Other than Currin's stated template, Lucius Cranach the Elder, the piece that best approximates Currin's enduring genius is Vermeer's Girl in the Red Hat, in which the attenuated red fur of the hat begs to be taken sexually, with permission from its wearer's smile.
This sensuous aspect of Currin's work drives the politically correct art elite nuts, much as his limpid palette, so reminiscent of Wayne Thiebaud, leads to accusations that John can't paint.
Nuts to that -- if ever there were a collector's artist ripe for Sotheby's, it is Currin. We advise not only buying his new work, seeking to deal his old work, and even tracking down early Currin gems from his Yale days, we also advise snapping up the work of his ex-muse and current wife, Rachel Feinstein, who is as profound an innovator in the sculptural realm as her husband is in painting.
Feinstein's extraordinary crucifixion scene, exhibited at Friedrich Petzel Gallery (on loan from Marianne Boesky Gallery), was easily the greatest piece created and shown last season in Chelsea.
The pictures in Vogue, the attendant glitz, the prejudices of myopic baby-boomer auction experts easily obscure two welcome facts: that Rachel Feinstein and John Currin are the first truly equal art couple since O'Keeffe and Stieglitz, and that John Currin has already surpassed Rosenquist, Indiana, Wesselmann, Thiebaud, Diebenkorn and others in auction-market desirability.
Don't "hold," baby, buy!

Archaeologists Discover New Pyramid In Egypt
Egypt's antiquities chief announced Tuesday the discovery of a pyramid buried in the desert and thought to belong to the mother of a pharaoh who ruled more than 4,000 years ago.
Zahi Hawass said the pyramid, found about two months ago in the sand south of Cairo, probably housed the remains of Queen Sesheshet, the mother of King Teti, who ruled from 2323 to 2291 BC and founded Egypt's Sixth Dynasty.
"The only queen whose pyramid is missing is Sesheshet, which is why I am sure it belonged to her," Hawass said. "This will enrich our knowledge about the Old Kingdom."
Historians say the Sixth Dynasty is considered to be the last dynasty of the Old Kingdom, after which Egypt descended into famine and social upheaval. It was a time of conflict in Egypt's royal family that led to the erosion of centralized power.
Pyramids belonging to two of the king's wives were discovered nearby, but the tomb belonging to Sesheshet was never found.
Hawass said the headless, 16-foot high pyramid originally reached about 14 meters, with sides 22 meters long.
He said the pyramid was uncovered near the world's oldest pyramid at Saqqara, a burial ground for the rulers of ancient Egypt.
"This may be the most complete subsidiary pyramid ever found at Saqqara," Hawass said.
The monument was originally covered in a casing of white limestone brought from quarries at nearby Tura.
Hawass said although most of its contents are likely to have been taken by thieves, archaeologists plan to enter the pyramid's burial chamber within two weeks.
He said artifacts such as a wooden statue of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis and funerary figurines dating from a later period indicate that the cemetery had been reused through Roman times.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Daniel email@example.com John Gavel carried a big, stainless steel pot of beans out of the kitchen, and set it on the table next to a basket of bread rolls. Thirty-five years ago, Gavel, leading the Jonesboro Knights of Columbus, started an annual lunch to show appreciation for law enforcement officers. Wednesday, carrying the brown beans out of the kitchen, he offered second helpings to the 110 people from the county's fire department, police department and sheriff's office. "We felt we ought to do something," Gavel said, recalling how the event was started. "I know they do a thankless job. Everybody takes them for granted." At noon Wednesday, the Catholic fraternal service organization, Knights of Columbus Tara Council No. 6352, made an effort to correct that. In a short program, the Knights said, thank you, and they specifically honored five people. "We know that many, many of you do more than is required in your eight-hour shifts," said Leonard Chambliss. "We thank you, especially for the men and women who stepped forward, in this community, and have dedicated their talents and their lives to Clayton County." The five individuals honored were nominated by their supervisors, and selected, Chambliss said, because they performed their duties extraordinarily, helped saved lives, and have shown a dedication to the county and been active in a religious organization. Those honored were: · David Ricks, Clayton County Police Officer of the Year · LaQuinn Walker, Clayton County Fire Department Fireman of the Year · Christopher Simpson, Clayton County Fire Department EMT/Paramedic of the Year · Tammy York, Clayton County 911 Dispatcher of the Year · Patrick McClellan, Clayton County Sheriff's Office Deputy Sheriff of the Year Leo Hoeh, a Knight, described the honored public safety personnel as "people who stand up every day, and support the community." McClellan was nominated for his work on gang and drug-prevention programs in the county's schools and for his involvement in the seizure of $4.5 million worth of drugs, during his 11 years at the sheriff's office. "But I just consider doing it to be my job," he said. "It's what I do every day." He appreciated the recognition and support, he said. Jeff Hood, deputy chief with the Clayton County Fire Department, said all five of the recipients were very deserving. The annual event, he said, is motivating and supportive. "The Knights of Columbus have always been a great partner with public safety, and we appreciate them," Hood said.

Trucker Hats: Jumped the Shark?
Some might say that the fact that Reebok is deliberately making a trucker hat for tennis necessarily means that trucker hats are over. Seems like a good idea with the ventilated back and all, but it just looks like somebody's trying soooo hard to be hip. Maybe Wilson or some other desperate company will one-up Reebok and actually make the front piece from foam, to really drill that last nail in the coffin. What do tennis ballers have to do with truck hats?
Williamsburg, Brooklyn is generally credited as ground zero for the trucker hat phenomenon, but that started around the end of the last decade, for pete's sake. Now, true urban hipsters have even blown past the classic "double-irony" phase of the trend: wearing the trucker hat, which all started as an ironic gesture, while knowing that trucker hats have now become hopelessly desperate and lame (that's the second layer of irony - wearing it while knowing it's out!). The trend seems totally dead, except to Ashton and Andy, and any of their suppliants.
I think the next tennis headgear trend is the fitted skullcap, Dri-Fit of course. I'm serious about that!
Apparently you didn't hear that the phrase 'jumped the shark' has jumped the shark.
If the fitted skull cap is the next trend for tennis, it's way, way behind football, basketball, etc.

Bakersfield High girls basketball coach Jimmy Henry got only 50-percent of what he wanted from his team on Thursday night.
Fortunately for the Drillers, it turned out to be just enough.
BHS rallied from a sluggish first half to top visiting Centennial 36-34 in a Southwest Yosemite League showdown.
Down 20-8 at halftime, the Drillers outscored the Golden Hawks 28-14 in the second half.
"I try to tell my team if you win each quarter, one quarter at a time, you'll win at the end of the game," Henry said. "Unfortunately we didn't play the first half, but we played the second half."
Zharia McCollum had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 assists for BHS (14-10, 4-0 SWYL) which came into the night tied with Stockdale atop the SWYL standings.
Kylah McMillon's three-point play with 24 seconds left provided the winning margin for the Drillers.
Centennial (11-5, 2-2 SWYL) led the entire game until McMillon muscled her way inside and scored as she was surrounded by a trio of defenders.
"I was really nervous,"McMillon said. "It was really hectic under there. We kept getting the rebounds. We had to really hustle."
Freshman Taylor Madden led the Golden Hawks with 10 points and 11 rebounds.
"The girls have to understand that the game of basketball is four quarters," Centennial coach Clayton Madden said. "We put two great quarters together...The second half we lost our focus, got out of our game-plan and we got burned."
Centennial led by as many as 14 points in the first half.
The Golden Hawks were able to take advantage of the Drillers' 3-of-25 first-half shooting and seize the early momentum.
But BHS' pressure defense caused Centennial's offense to become rushed and disjointed in the second half.
The Drillers' shooting woes also disappeared in the third quarter.
Tiana Henry heated up after intermission, scoring nine points in the second half after being scoreless in the first two quarters.
She also had nine rebounds and 3 assists.
BHS made 10-of-24 of its second-half shots from inside the arc, including a 12-foot baseline jump shot by McCollum to start the second half.
That basket began a pivotal 10-4 run that pulled BHS to within four with three minutes remaining in the quarter.
From there the Drillers chipped away at Centennial's lead until McMillon finally put them over the top.
"We're really happy," McMillon said. "We knew it was going to be tough, but we did it."

The terrifying financial burdens that come with living in London, the sense of it increasingly becoming a steel and glass playground for the super wealthy, can make us ordinary Londoners feel disenfranchised. The huge pressure to achieve and succeed, if not just survive, leaves little scope for moments of awe and genuine peace in our frantic minds.
I've decided, in the deluded spirit of making resolutions in the new year, to try and change an aspect of my lifestyle; I'm going to dip my toe in the water of an attempt to be kind to myself. My problem is I can't tell when I'm being nice to myself and when am I just being a lazy pig, so I never stop with the self-flagellation to keep going. If I thought about what's the greatest thing I could do for myself, I'd tell you it was 'to never have to get out of bed'. I'm my happiest when I have a virus and have an excuse to lie there without the nagging mother in my brain screaming, "Get your ass up and out".
It may seem counter-intuitive, but most of us don't walk correctly. It's not our fault, and it's not our parent's fault. Unless your dad is someone like Olympic gymnast Louis Smith or your mum is someone like Olympic heptathlete Jessica Ennis, then you're probably not applying scientific principles to your day-to-day walking.
Will Varley is an interesting chap. I've been a fan since stumbling upon his first album Advert Soundtracks. Political, humorous and always very honest, it's the sort of song writing that can connect viscerally. Yet, despite my earnest attempts otherwise, it was also the type of song writing that not many people seemed to be taking much notice of.

Great replacement milk for when puppies are being weaned or when the mom cannot nurse the puppies. Very gentle on the stomach and digestive system and helps the puppies to survive until they can eat on their own.

Ex-Qualcomm exec indicted in stock scheme
Exec's brother in China and a Merrill Lynch stock broker also face charges
In a third transaction in January 2011, Wang learned that Qualcomm was going to announce record earnings, she said. He again bought shares using the Unicorn account and eventually reaped $36,000 from the trade, Duffy said.
At one point, when Wang told his broker that he thought their scheme would be found out, Wang coached his brother and Yin to lie for him, Duffy said.
Wang was taken into custody Monday and made his first appearance in federal court. Yin was expected to be taken into custody and arraigned this morning, Duffy said. An arrest warrant has been issued for Bing Wang, but getting him into custody in China would be "an issue," she said.
By bringing this case, authorities hope to restore confidence in financial systems, she said.
"When there are two set of rules — one for the powerful insiders and one set for everybody else — the public quickly loses confidence in our stock markets," Duffy said.
Officials gave no indication of any personal or financial problems that may have motivated Wang to engage in insider trading. At Wang's arraignment Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Beste estimated Wang's net worth at $10 million.
"Greed drives people in ways that may be inexplicable to many of us," Duffy said.
Qualcomm, one of the world's largest technology companies, declined to disclose how much it paid Wang, a top executive who attended board meetings and had responsibility for activities in China, Africa and the Middle East. He did not appear in regulatory filings that report the annual compensation of the company's top five earners.
County assessor records indicate that Wang and his wife, Vera, sold their La Jolla house for $6 million in December. They paid $5.3 million in 2003. Beste said Wang's current home is worth about $1.6 million.
Wang's attorney, Brian Hennigan of Irell & Manella in Los Angeles, said his client is a U.S. citizen and not a flight risk. He has resided in San Diego for 14 years with his wife and two children and is active in his church.
Asked after the arraignment to describe Wang's state of mind, Hennigan said, "He understands it is a serious matter, and he is treating it as a serious matter."
In his Merrill Lynch company biography, Yin said he managed about $300 million in client accounts. Yin, who joined Merrill in 1994, said he was a board member of the San Diego Symphony and a member of several executive groups.
Federal authorities did not say what led them to suspect the Wangs and Yin.
An indictment mentions an SEC investigation opened in 2010 into allegations of financial reporting irregularities at Qualcomm that has since expanded to potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Qualcomm said in July that an internal investigation found instances in which gifts and other benefits worth less than $250,000 were provided to several people associated with Chinese state-owned firms or agencies.
Michele Wein Layne, director of the SEC's Los Angeles office, said the agency was made aware of suspicious trading in Atheros shares before Qualcomm's purchase announcement.
In 2009, Atheros was the subject of its own insider trading scandal when Ali Hariri, a former vice president, was charged with giving tips to a hedge fund manager. Hariri pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Staff writer Mike Freeman contributed to this report.

The rapid advance of jihadists through large swathes of Iraq raises concerns in the oil market about the ability of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to meet global demand, industry experts say.
Analysts estimate that the cartel needs to ramp up production by at least 700,000 million barrels per day (bpd) in the second half of the year to meet global demand, and their hopes are partly based on increased output from Iraqi oil wells.
"If this hope is not realized, there is a problem," said Ehsan Ul—Haq, an analyst at the British energy consultancy KBC, pointing out that OPEC members Libya, Nigeria and Iran are already producing less than they could because of unrest and sanctions.
In the longer term, 60 per cent of growth in OPEC's production capacity is expected to come from Iraq, the International Energy Agency in Paris estimated Friday.
The European benchmark price for Brent oil from the North Sea shot up to a 9—month high of 114.5 dollars per barrel early on Friday morning, before retreating below 113 dollars later in the day.
Iraq pumped 3.33 million bpd last month, making it the second—largest OPEC producer after Saudi Arabia.
Oil from the north of the country stopped reaching markets in March, following violence in Anbar province and an attack on a pipeline to Turkey.
However, 90 per cent of Iraq's oil comes from the south of the country, and it is unlikely that the Sunni jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) would be able to take over the south, which is populated by Shiite Muslims, analysts say.
"It doesn't look like all of Iraq's production will be down, but even if there is only a partial outage, it would create problems," Ul-Haq said.
Prices would continue to rise if ISIL advances further towards the capital Baghdad, from where the country's oil industry is controlled, experts said.
In addition, planned expansion of production in the south would be put at risk if international oil firms withdrew staff for security reasons or postponed investments.
"The questions for them are: Who is in power? With whom can we make contracts? Does Iraq still control its infrastructure?" said Alexander Poegl at JBC Energy in Vienna.
On Wednesday, OPEC's oil ministers gathered at their Vienna headquarters and declared that they would not raise their official production ceiling because oil supply and demand are in balance.
"How many times did I already tell you, I am very happy with the market," an exasperated Saudi Petroleum Minister Ali Naimi told reporters after having been repeatedly asked about Western demands for higher output.
OPEC said after the meeting that its members would, if required, take steps to make sure the market remained balanced.
A further escalation of the situation in Iraq and production outages in the south would drive oil prices up by 0 dollars, analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt said.

This is an amazing, vintage Ann and Catherine Prevost collar necklace. It features 7 rows of emerald green glass beads with a cross shaped design of black glass beads in the center. Emerald green is the "it" color for 2013. Collar necklaces look fabulous on those who want to highlight their neck as a focal point. A friend who purchased a Prevost collar necklace from me a couple years ago recently shared that it a personal favorite and that she gets tons of compliments on it.
Measurements: The beaded part of the necklace is 11 inches, with the J-hook adjustable chain it can reach up to 15 inches. The rows of beads are 1.5 inches wide.
Condition: The necklace is in excellent condition. Please use the zoom feature to review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description.
Marks: Both end pieces are marked "ACP" and the back side of one is stamped "PREVOST." ACP stands for "Ann and Catherine Prevost." This is one of their earlier pieces.
Designer History: Ann Prevost and her daughter, Catherine, began their jewelry business in New York in the early 1990's creating jewelry based on their passion for art history. They sold through Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Harrods, and Harvey Nichols in London, and in high end boutiques with prices in the $300-500 range. Eventually, they began creating fine jewelry. Ann moved to Italy to create and manufacture, and Catherine moved to London, opening a jewelry shop on Walton Street which she closed several years ago to focus on her family. They both still design fine jewelry for private clients. (This information was kindly provided by Ann Prevost.)
