TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) - A Truckee man has been arrested as a suspect in the death of his 88-year-old mother.
Nevada County sheriff's deputies say 61-year-old David Jenkins was booked Tuesday on suspicion of two felony charges - second-degree murder and cruelty to elders with great bodily injury.
Deputies say they found his mother, Nellie Mulligan, dead about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday in an apartment she shared with her son on Martis Valley Road.
Truckee police now are investigating and an autopsy is pending. There was no obvious cause of death but authorities say poor living conditions suggest that neglect may have played a role.

27 September 2013 08:49 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China's Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao plans to shut its 120,000 tonne/year butadiene rubber (BR) plant in Shanghai on 10 October for regular maintenance, an industry source said on Friday.
The plant will be shut for about 40 days, the source said, adding that the plant is currently running at full capacity.
"The shutdown may support BR prices in the domestic market because of the large capacity at the plant," a market player said.
Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao is a major BR producer in east China.

Kansas women upset No. 7 Baylor 76-60
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson heard all week from people telling her how unfortunate her team was for having to play Baylor after the Bears gave UConn all it could handle in a loss Monday.
Eventually, Henrickson got tired of people writing Kansas off before the game and reminded them that, hey, Kansas had just lost a tough game of its own, this one to Texas.
"We were kind of ornery, too," Henrickson said. "We were pretty salty about that as well."
After a sluggish start, Kansas snapped out of its funk and won its first game of the season against a ranked program, sending No. 7 Baylor to its second straight loss, 76-60 Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.
Chelsea Gardner scored 28 points and Natalie Knight added 18 for the Jayhawks (9-9, 2-4 Big 12).
CeCe Harper added 10 points for Kansas, which defeated Baylor for the first time in nine games. The Jayhawks also ended the Bears' 44-game regular-season Big 12 winning streak.
Odyssey Sims scored 31 points for the Bears (14-2, 4-1), but she, like the rest of the Bears, struggled shooting and was held to 10 points in the second half.
"The difference was we worked on denying her the ball and not letting her catch it so she wouldn't have easy touches," Harper said. "We focused on boxing her out and trying to avoid her getting the passes out on the rebounds."
Niya Johnson added eight points for Baylor, which lost for the first time in 70 games against unranked opponents and was held 31 points below its season average.
After scoring 21 points in the first half, Sims made only 4 of 19 shots in the second half, and without her the Bears couldn't do much offensively.
"When it was out of her hands people were taking shots that they weren't comfortable taking," Harper said. "She was having to get rid of it a lot more than she's used to. I think the traps worked well because we were catching her off guard a lot."
Kansas took control of the game in the final 10 minutes after trading the lead for the first part of the second half. After Baylor took a 45-44 lead, Kansas went on a 32-15 run the rest of the game, highlighted by a layup and free throw from Harper that put Kansas up 12 with 4 minutes left.
While Baylor struggled without Sims' shot, Kansas received help from a variety of players.
Gardner gave Kansas the lead for good with a pair of free throws, then Asia Boyd scored five straight points to give Kansas all the breathing room it needed for the rest of the game.
"With this group here it's an opportunity for everybody to contribute," Henrickson said. "I think sometimes those teams are the most fun because practice is most competitive because everybody's trying to fight for minutes in a good way."
The Jayhawks shot 54 percent in the second half, while Baylor shot only 29 percent.

Jets coach Ryan runs with bulls twice in Pamplona
Rex Ryan spent part of his summer vacation running from angry bulls.
The New York Jets coach joined thousands of thrill-seekers on Sunday and Monday in the annual running of the bulls at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain.
The team confirmed Monday that Ryan was uninjured while participating both days in the run, which is the highlight of a nine-day street festival and is televised nationally. Ryan was there on two mostly uneventful days as there were no gorings, while six people were treated for injuries.
Ben Patton, a contestant on NBC's matchmaker show ''Ready for Love,'' tweeted an Instagram photo http://instagram.com/p/bf6Qk0x2t5/(hash) of himself and some friends posing with Ryan in Pamplona. A slim-looking Ryan is wearing white pants, a red T-shirt with a picture of a bull in the middle - with the words ''Bad Toro'' printed underneath - and a red bandana around his neck.
The sports website Deadspin posted a 17-second video Monday night of what clearly appears to be Ryan climbing a barricade, along with several other participants, moments before a bull charges down the street. It was uncertain if the video was from Ryan's run on Sunday or Monday.
The race, which lasts just over 2 minutes, takes place early in the morning as participants run with six fighting bulls along a narrow course of about 900 yards. It ends when the bulls have run from a holding pen to a city bull ring.
Ryan isn't the first football coach to race through the streets of the northern Spanish city. Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly, then the coach at Oregon, participated in the event last summer, along with wide receivers coach Scott Frost - a former Jets safety.
Ryan and the Jets report for training camp on July 25 in Cortland, N.Y.
Associated Press Writer Carlota Cortes in Pamplona contributed to this report.

The Lake Placid Central School District Board of Education presented its budget proposal during a well attended public meeting Tuesday, but agreed to review public comments before voting on the budget.
The proposed 2011 budget totals $16.57 million dollars, an increase of 5.3 percent from last year. The district's tax levy will rise more than four percent - an amount that would be even higher when adjusted for declines in the district's real estate assessments of about $100 million.
Board members said they faced some hard choices this year, with state aid reductions and rising entitlement and energy costs.
In the proposed budget, some staff members would be cut, including a special education teacher, a teacher's assistant, and a retiring home economics teacher would not be replaced.
These savings were offset by other increasing costs, including the cost of fuel oil and heating oil. The assistant principal will also be retained at an additional cost of $7,000 and a part-time librarian will be added at a cost of $30,000.
But these adjustments don't include the district's biggest cost increases; namely, health care and retirement benefit costs.
Teacher's salary increases take their toll as well. The teacher's union last year conceded to a 2 percent raise instead of their customary 4 percent increase. That saved the district more than $200,000. The school board would not comment on the likelihood of teacher's pay concessions this year, saying only that negotiations were under way.
All told, the budget increased by more than $572,000.
That's a big concern, according to Superintendent Randy Richards.
"We're delaying our tough decisions for another year," he said.
Several members of the public echoed the superintendents concerns about the long-term viability of the school's financial trajectory.
Lake Placid resident Jeff Erenstone said keeping the core teaching staff is a good idea, but insisted that tax increases were a "band-aid" rather than a permanent fix. He advocated for more administrative cost sharing and a hiring freeze on new staff.

Is there a way I can use the 'bind' syntax for the 'toggle' event handler ?
From the docs I can understand that the correct way is
$('.selector').toggle( function() {}, function() {} );
My problem is that I am removing that element for some reason, and then again add it to the DOM. On adding it again, the toggle does not work.
Thus, I think there should be a way to 'bind' the toggle.
Help please.

It begins with a slow motion party of a bunch of middle aged men in assorted levels of grimy undress, dancing and spitting a few feet short of a drunken stupor. That unhappy first scene makes it clear that Rick Alverson's 2012 film "The Comedy" is not one. It seeks to be the inverse of everything. In nearly every scene, our characters try to offend everyone, including ourselves, with their comments on life, packaged in the most abrasive rock salt. Not for any other reason, but pure boredom with life.
Comedy here is not humor, but absurdity, at least at first. At what point do you abandon the puffy lettered, colorful ideals that your elementary school bulletin boards fed you with? At what point do you embrace the stupid absurdity of an aimless, joyless life? You can ride your boat. You can enjoy beverages on the street corner café. You can ride your bike. And, so what? The clock continues to move slower than you wish it would.
At first, this film looks like the aimless story of a bunch of aimless upper middle class men passing through an endless summer of binge drinking, perhaps paid by their parents' past successes. A step deeper, however, it reveals itself as the story of an ambitionless, unskilled, socially inept man Swanson (Tim Heidecker) figuring out how to prepare for his father's mortality. The days are long not because of the sun, not because of the intoxicated boredom, but because he has to face his manhood and has not a clue how to do so. So, he responds by spitting in the face of the world. Did you ever notice that when someone gives you the finger, it often seems like they do not know what else to do?
Not a comedy, but it tries to play off the rules of comedy without the goal of being funny. Our characters have a conversation about Hitler's apparently unappreciated talents. What does comedy sometimes do, but twist the norm and sprinkle it with irony. There is no irony here: just twisting.
Not a comedy, but it might be a tragedy of sorts. Not because of its ending, but because of its dreary tone. Heidecker's existence is the tragedy. He holds nothing as sacred. He maintains no boundaries. He does not even seem to bathe. He lives instead off of his whims.
Believers wonder why non-believers feel compelled to live, not turning to suicide or something. The argument is that if there is no Divine or Afterlife, then there is no purpose or meaning. So, why bother with life? The answer this movie gives is: yes, why bother with life? When you can ride your boat, ride your bike, spit out your booze or offend people, why bother with life?
More than that, this story is sort of the opposite of everything that we could compare it with. Usually, the man without boundaries is a crazed criminal. Here, he is just a man whose parents probably raised him by throwing money at all of his problems. Think of the other stories of young men of privilege. Charles Foster Kane in his core seeks a return to the Rosebud of his childhood, occupying himself by engaging in numerous projects with assorted levels of failure and success. Or, the Last Emperor Puyi, who struggles to learn leadership while struggling to learn manhood, and soon watches it get taken away. Or, even Will Freeman ("About a Boy," 2002) who is raised in privilege, passes the time, and finally looks for a substantial love to give him substantial meaning. This film is the opposite of all of these stories, for in all these stories, our characters aspire to something. Swanson, however, seeks nothing, except maybe a minor cheap thrill in the moment. Once in a while, he experiences a feeling. Beyond that, his is an existentialist crisis without the crisis.
The strength of this film is that we have no idea where it will go. The problem is that we might not care where this film will go. Swanson does such a great job at being unlikeable that we really, really do not like him. Occasionally, we are so repulsed by him that we cannot stop watching, in the way that if we see road kill on the street, we keep glancing at it. There is a frightening scene where he tries to convince his cab driver to let him drive, and the entire time I am telling the driver, "Don't do it. Kick him out of the cab" and the movie takes us where we do not want to go. Soon, Swanson finds himself casually watching a women suffer an epileptic seizure.
The weakness of the film, however, is that it might not earn our attention through to the end. Even though the seizure scene seems rather heavy handed, the acting has that improvised feel, giving it a sense of authenticity. But, the central character's despicable qualities will alienate many who will not wait to see if he finds purpose or happiness.
And, does he find purpose or happiness? He seems to smile and cheer, but I do not know if it is just another whim. Nevertheless, the movie did get me to think, and that is a success, and almost a redemption of its own.

Viva Air
Viva Air (IATA: FV, ICAO: VIV, Call sign: Viva ) was an airline from Spain that operated during the 1980s and 1990s.
Viva Air, whose complete name in Spanish was Vuelos Internacionales de Vacaciones (International Vacation Flights,) was founded on 24 February 1988 by Iberia and Lufthansa.
Operations began with a320 aircraft. At the beginning flights were mostly from Germany to Spain, in particular to Palma de Mallorca. By 1992, the partnership between Lufthansa and Iberia dissolved and Iberia took over the operations of Viva Air. Shortly thereafter, Viva Air entered the Spanish domestic scheduled market using Douglas DC-9 aircraft but those were quickly replaced by the Airbus a320.
The airline's aircraft were rather distinct in that they wore a colourful Joan Miró-style livery created by Spanish school children. It was intended to symbolise the Spanish sunshine which most of its passengers sought during their holidays. After the first few years of operation, the airline was one of the first subsidiary airlines of a major carrier (in this case IBERIA) to gain a foothold into London's Heathrow Airport from where Viva operated several scheduled services on behalf of its parent company using Viva callsigns and Viva flight numbers.
Since the scheduled flights were losing money, Iberia took over those routes and Viva Air was relegated to charter flights using Boeing a320 aircraft of which it had 10 in service by 1995.
Because of heavy competition from other Spanish and European charter companies, Viva Air began to lose money and, by 1998, the operations were ceased and the airline liquidated. Iberia took over all staff, aircraft and route licenses.

For most adults, the art room is a memory from long-lost childhood school days. Art class probably did not mean much more than smearing crayons and paint onto construction paper-with no real value to an adult who is dealing with the pressures of relationships, careers, finances, and raising a family.
Even with these external pressures, the biggest concern adults often face is the spiritual crisis of self-value. We fear unmet ambitions. We fear that our lives have little meaning, purpose, or value. We fear that God has a plan for us, but we're missing it. These fears prevent us from leading the productive, contented, joy-filled lives that God created us to live.
And so, the long-forgotten art room actually holds three God-given keys, available to every adult, for living the life we were meant to live. When we entered the art room for the first time as kindergartners, we all instinctively knew some things that we would progressively forget over time and now it's time to learn them all over again.

HOUSTON Police apprehended a man suspected in the fatal stabbing of a southwest Houston woman Monday afternoon.
Lawrence Chambers was held on a pending charge of murder.
Late Sunday, a teenage girl returned to her family s home in the 2800 block of Tidewater Drive to find her mother and brother had been brutally stabbed. Houston police had been looking for Lawrence Champers, the child s stepfather, to try and determine what happened.
The 14-year-old girl had been spending the weekend at her grandmother s house. She told investigators that she had been concerned after not hearing from her mom. After returning home around 11 p.m., what she found sent her running next door for help.
She said Help, my mother needs help. But I thought maybe her mother was sick, Robert Chavis, the neighbor, said. He was not prepared for what he was about to find.
The child s mother, Jemal Chambers, was in a bloody heap on the floor and her 13-year-old son was lying nearby.
I walked into that room and the mother was lying on the side of the bed, her throat had been slashed, there was blood, her face was badly beaten, Chavis said. I saw the look on that little girl s face and she ll have nightmares for the rest of her life.
The boy was rushed to the hospital where he remained in critical condition Monday.
I feel for the baby, I feel for the child that was stabbed. I feel for the daughter who had to actually walk in and find that. I mean, I m a mother. I could not even imagine that, another neighbor, Nakita Osborne, said.
Detectives described the incident as a brutal, personal crime.
There are no signs of forced entry, said Detective W.L. Meeler, the Houston Police Department.
Lawrence Chambers has a criminal past, having once served 10 years in prison, but neighbors said the family appeared to be normal to them.
I ve never seen the police, no kind of disturbance. None, Chavis said.
Another neighbor said she spoke to the stepfather just the day before and, once again, all appeared to be fine.
I said what are you doing tomorrow for the Super Bowl, are you barbecuing? and he said Yeah, I think I am going to put something on the grill, and that was it, Nadjala Morris said.

Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), it's time to meet Captain Jack!
Torchwood fan favorite John Barrowman is set to guest star on ABC's political hit Scandal.
"John Barrowman is here working at @ScandalABC today," showrunner/Torchwood fan Shonda Rhimes tweeted on Tuesday. "Life is good. #torchwood #captainjack #iamanerd."
NEWS: Five things to know about Glee's can't-miss episode
While we've yet to learn who Barrowman will be playing on the super-secretive show, we do know he will appear in Scandal's penultimate episode of its second season, airing May 9.
In addition to playing the beloved Captain Jack Harkness, who was so popular on Doctor Who that he was given his own show, Barrowman is currently enjoying a recurring role as baddie Malcolm Merlyn on the CW's new hit drama Arrow.
This isn't the first time Rhimes has worked with Barrowman: He starred in her pilot Gilded Lilys, which ABC chose not to pick up.
Scandal airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Admit it: Even the inevitable grass, food, and spit-up stains won't discourage you from dressing your tot to the nines. And who can blame you? A trip to Lester Harry's could persuade every parent that the little pumpkin should be outfitted in the finest of European fashion: Bienvenue sur Terre shirts and tees, Marcel et Leon linen shorts, Lili Gaufrette sundresses. While you're at it, pick up a couple of sets of custom-tailored crib sheets. By the time you leave, you won't know what's cuter: your angel-faced nipper—or the store.

I am repeating this question since i haven't found a good answer to it yet. The other threads about this topic is from 2008 and 2009. There are a few projects out there like OpenForum, NearForums and Telerik Forums. The openforum and nearforums i can't even get to run on my computer, just getting a lot of build errors. On the openforum it seems a bit dead on that end in the discussions thread. Telerik requires some components that i can't even find.
So i ask again, maybe there is some new projects in the loop, is there a forum like YAF for asp.net? It must be MVC 2 or 3 and preferably also have some APIs like YAF so that it can easily be integrated into the webpage.

AC Milan chief Ariedo Braida has confirmed their interest in Olympique Marseille stopper Nicolas N'Koulou.
Milan are in the market for a new defensive signing in January.
"He is a player who we have been monitoring since he was with Monaco," Braida told La Provence.
"At the minute, we already have six players in his role and therefore he is not at the top of our list. It's also not that easy to sign players anymore because of asking prices.
"It would be difficult to sign him during the January transfer window, but we'll continue to watch him to understand whether he could do a good job for us in the future."

Phoenix Sees Falling Snow On Mars
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has detected snow falling from Martian clouds. Spacecraft soil experiments also have provided evidence of past interaction between minerals and liquid water, processes that occur on Earth.
A laser instrument designed to gather knowledge of how the atmosphere and surface interact on Mars has detected snow from clouds about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) above the spacecraft's landing site. Data show the snow vaporizing before reaching the ground.
"Nothing like this view has ever been seen on Mars," said Jim Whiteway, of York University, Toronto, lead scientist for the Canadian-supplied Meteorological Station on Phoenix. "We'll be looking for signs that the snow may even reach the ground."
Phoenix experiments also yielded clues pointing to calcium carbonate, the main composition of chalk, and particles that could be clay. Most carbonates and clays on Earth form only in the presence of liquid water.
"We are still collecting data and have lots of analysis ahead, but we are making good progress on the big questions we set out for ourselves," said Phoenix Principal Investigator Peter Smith of the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Since landing on May 25, Phoenix already has confirmed that a hard subsurface layer at its far-northern site contains water-ice. Determining whether that ice ever thaws would help answer whether the environment there has been favorable for life, a key aim of the mission.
The evidence for calcium carbonate in soil samples from trenches dug by the Phoenix robotic arm comes from two laboratory instruments called the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer, or TEGA, and the wet chemistry laboratory of the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer, or MECA.
"We have found carbonate," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for the TEGA. "This points toward episodes of interaction with water in the past."
The TEGA evidence for calcium carbonate came from a high-temperature release of carbon dioxide from soil samples. The temperature of the release matches a temperature known to decompose calcium carbonate and release carbon dioxide gas, which was identified by the instrument's mass spectrometer.
The MECA evidence came from a buffering effect characteristic of calcium carbonate assessed in wet chemistry analysis of the soil. The measured concentration of calcium was exactly what would be expected for a solution buffered by calcium carbonate.
Both TEGA, and the microscopy part of MECA, have turned up hints of a clay-like substance. "We are seeing smooth-surfaced, platy particles with the atomic-force microscope, not inconsistent with the appearance of clay particles," said Michael Hecht, MECA lead scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
The Phoenix mission, originally planned for three months on Mars, now is in its fifth month. However, it faces a decline in solar energy that is expected to curtail and then end the lander's activities before the end of the year. Before power ceases, the Phoenix team will attempt to activate a microphone on the lander to possibly capture sounds on Mars.
"For nearly three months after landing, the sun never went below the horizon at our landing site," said Barry Goldstein, JPL Phoenix project manager. "Now it is gone for more than four hours each night, and the output from our solar panels is dropping each week. Before the end of October, there won't be enough energy to keep using the robotic arm."
The Phoenix mission is led by Smith at the University of Arizona. Project management is the responsibility of JPL with development partnership by Lockheed Martin in Denver. International contributions come from the Canadian Space Agency; the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland; the universities of Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark; Max Planck Institute, Germany; and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
Image Caption: This sequence of nine images taken by the Surface Stereo Imager on NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander shows the sun rising on the morning of the lander's 101st Martian day after landing.
The images were taken on Sept. 5, 2008. The local solar times at the landing site for the nine images were between 1:23 a.m. and 1:41 a.m.
The landing site is on far-northern Mars, and the mission started in late northern spring. For nearly the entire first 90 Martian days of the mission, the sun never set below the horizon. As the amount of sunshine each day declined steadily after that, so has the amount of electricity available for the solar-powered spacecraft.
The Phoenix Mission is led by the University of Arizona, Tucson, on behalf of NASA. Project management of the mission is by JPL, Pasadena, Calif. Spacecraft development was by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver.

The maturation of the Ryder Cup
Updated: September 13, 2004, 3:24 PM ETBy Bob Harig | Special to ESPN.com
Unlike the old days, nobody feels safe about predicting the outcome. For years, the Americans showed up at the Ryder Cup, hit a few warm-up balls, then waxed the competition. It was as easy as sticking a tee in the ground.
Anyone who follows the biennial competition knows that has hardly been the case for most of the past two decades. And the Ryder Cup changed right along with the competition, making this week's event at Oakland Hills CC in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., unlike any other golf ...

Salsa Celtica
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (September 2010)
Salsa Celtica's synthesis of Afro Latin Salsa with Scottish and Irish traditional music has taken the band and its music on a remarkable journey, from the village halls of Scotland to music festivals around the globe. A potent blend of virtuosity and energy, Salsa Celtica is a respected force on the world music circuit. 2014 is shaping up to be an exciting new chapter in the band's story, with a new studio album, The Tall Islands, a return to Celtic Connections, a UK tour and a debut performance in Colombia – yet another landmark for the Scottish salsa band that made it big in Latin America. .
This culture-crossing collective started out in Scotland's compact, fertile music scene in 1995, a hotbed of young players and bands coming together at jam sessions, intent on reinventing Celtic music with global influences. Uniquely in this scene they were a world music band intent on creating original salsa with a Scottish influence. Releasing their first album, Monstruos y Demonios (1997) the band started touring the village halls of Scotland's Highlands and Islands and appearing at UK jazz and Celtic festivals. Surrounded by a renaissance in Celtic culture ensured the bands rich knowledge and passion for their home culture. The band's love of salsa and Afro Latin American culture has seen them travel several times from Scotland to Cuba (Havana and Santiago) and New York to spend time soaking up the many elements of salsa music and culture first hand. After another such trip to Santiago the band returned to record their second album The Great Scottish Latin Adventure (2000) which took them global and made their name in the very places that inspired the music. It's remarkable that a group of Scottish musicians could make records that climbed not only the salsa charts but become firm favourites on dance floors from New York to L.A, and Colombia to Venezuela. It is testament to their genre crossing abilities that have also achieved popularity and recognition in the Jazz and world as well as their own Celtic music scenes.
The band's Latin adventures continued when they headlined New York's Lincoln Center before 3,000 delighted Nuyoricans, spending a week lighting up the city's salsa clubs before heading to LA to do the same. Their third album, El Agua De La Vida (2003), rated one of Billboard's top ten Latin releases of the year, and the acclaimed El Camino (2006) which was nominated for four Radio 2 Folk Awards, propelled them onto the worldwide festival and touring circuit. A live album, En Vivo En El Norte (2010), featuring guest roles for Altan's melodeon player Dermot Byrne and New York salsa trombonist Joe De Jesus, who has played with everyone from Tito Puente to David Byrne, captured the band's amazing energy in concert. In 2014, Salsa Celtica will release their 5th studio album, The Tall Islands, with new material composed and developed on a back to roots "village hall" tour of Scotland's Highlands and Islands. The band went back and dug deeper into their collective Celtic and Latino DNA and shared group history to distil a rich and soulful collection of tunes that point to an exciting future.

Brady had a bunch of problems with Bolts
The wait was over. But not the weight.
With yet another rash of offensive blunders, the load continues to get heavier for a Chargers defense that basically did to Tom Brady what it's been doing to lesser, mere-mortal quarterbacks, holding the incomparable New England Patriots leader in check, making the pocket an extremely uncomfortable place and even throwing off his throwing. For all, ultimately, that it mattered.
The scoreboard's the only thing that counts, they all said afterward, dutifully and correctly. But that scoreboard belied the fact that a Chargers defense ranked No. 1 in the National Football League, having gone seven full weeks into the season before facing the kind of quarterback and offense that can make a top-rated defense feel validated or violated, is now clearly good enough to make a good team look bad.
"We get a little credit, too" said linebacker Shaun Phillips, asked if he thought the Patriots offense was off its game. "Give us some credit."
To their credit, nobody on the defense's half of the locker room wanted any credit or to hear any compliments from outside. But still. When the offense is turning over the ball with alarming frequency, it's left to the defense to clean up the mess, and this one could have been much messier on that scoreboard.
Brady, who'd been sacked only eight times in New England's first five games, was dropped four times by the Chargers and flushed several other times. The Patriots' offense, which averaged 354.2 yards in total offense per game, managed almost exactly half that Sunday.
Indeed, the 179-yard net was the lowest by a Patriots team in any win since Brady became their starting quarterback in 2001. With the exception of a 24-yard pass, they had no gain longer than 17 yards, no running play longer than nine yards.
Where the Patriots were accustomed to scoring touchdowns from inside the red zone, they wound up with three field goals. The first of two Pats touchdowns were the indirect result of a Chargers fumble that set up New England just 22 yards from the goal line.
"We had opportunities to get off the field," said linebacker Stephen Cooper, the defensive captain. "At the end of the day, there's room for improvement on this defense."
Cooper allowed that one play was a "big step for the defense," the fourth-and-one snap with which Brady handed off to BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who was dropped for a one-yard loss. Thus, the defense gave the ball back to the Chargers offense in New England territory inside the game's last two minutes, giving the offense the time and the opportunity to either tie or win a game that it seemed to already have fumbled away.
"When it came down to it, we got a stop," said safety Eric Weddle. "Some guys played their tails off out there. There's some things that will be brought up from this game, but as a defense, we played our butts off. We played together. We eliminated the big play and really made him work for everything he got. And when it came down to it, as we've said in the past weeks, we want to be in position to make the play to get the ball back and win the game. We did that.

Pension overhaul passed on final day
Republicans mostly fell in line and voted yes, but complained that the reforms did not go far enough to save taxpayer money, particularly given that the unfunded future liability could be as much as $165 billion.
Labor, for its part, stood stoically in the hallway as lawmakers nibbled at some of their hard-fought benefits.
Dave Low, executive director of the California School Employees Association, pointed out the average retiree receives $1,197 monthly. A new employee will receive a third less.
"It's hard to imagine that's too much," Low said.
Terry Brennand, who represents rank and file state workers said the average pension is $36,000 a year. "I don't think anybody begrudges people that."
Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, said the overhaul "will enable state and local governments to similarly bring pension costs under control and to our demonstrate our commitment to responsibly managing the taxpayers' money."
The pension deal was supported by coalitions representing California's cities and counties.
Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, suggested that lawmakers will look at making more changes next year.
"Undoubtedly more to do," Steinberg said after the vote.
Another bill sent to the governor would limit the influence of test scores in ranking schools and instead add more emphasis on graduation and dropout rates. The bill, SB 1458 by Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento is similar to one vetoed by Gov. Brown after the last session.
Lawmakers also approved changes to the $17-billion workers compensation insurance program to provide more benefits to injured workers and cut costs for employers. SB 863 had bipartisan support.
Another bill to Brown provides the state Department of Parks and Recreation with new fundraising tools while limiting its ability to close parks. Among other things the bill would allow Californians to donate to the department by checking a box on their income tax returns.
Another provision that establishes a specialty state parks license plate was transferred into the budget signed by Brown in June.
It was revealed this summer that the parks department had been hiding $54 million even as 70 parks were threatened with closure. The Legislature approved a companion bill addressing that scandal.
Bills that were not approved:
• Fire fee: A repeal of the $150 per year fee on rural homeowners to help pay for Cal Fire.
• Middle-class scholarships: This would have raised the tax on some out-of-state corporations to help middle-income students afford college.
• Vehicle registration and tire fee: This measure carried by Sen. Christine Kehoe, R-San Diego, would have extended some surcharges on car tire purchases and vehicle registrations. The money goes to alternative energy programs.
• Vote by mail: The bill would allow ballots to be counted if received in the mail up to 72 hours after polls closed as long as they were postmarked on Election Day.
