Significant changes initiated by the Chief are already bearing fruit. The judicial oversight committee she created to oversee court construction and maintenance has made substantive recommendations—including the elimination of two courthouse projects—which have been approved by the Judicial Council. She has appointed justices and judges from the Judicial Council to oversee CCMS, which reported that CCMS passed two independent reviews recommended by the Bureau of State Audits. A judicial oversight committee overseeing the AOC has submitted an interim report. The final report is expected this spring. In addition, the Chief has made Judicial Council meetings more open and transparent, appointed eight justices and trial court judges to the Judicial Council, and changed the council's leadership. The Administrative Director has retired and the Council appointed an Interim Administrative Director and is conducting a national search for a permanent one.
Update: On Feb 9, Interim Administrative Director Ronald G. Overholt resigned and the Judicial Council appointed to the position Regional Administrative Director Jody Patel.
Judicial education provisions are in the California Rules of Court and statute, and judicial education is required in many instances. For example, judicial training programs are mandated for newly appointed or elected judges (CRC 10.462(c)) as well as for jurists performing duties in family law (GC 68553).
Each year the AOC's education division offers education and training to 2,000 court officers and 20,000 court employees.
Bill Vickrey retired on September 9th, 2011, and stopped working for the AOC on that date. He had accumulated annual leave, which was completed on December 30, 2011.
The Legislature already has the power of the purse. It appropriates money to the judicial branch after public budget hearings in the Budget Committees of both houses of the Legislature, conference committee agreement, and a signature of the Governor.
A Trial Court Budget Working Group—made up of 15 presiding judges and 15 court executives who rotate on a yearly basis—as well as appellate justices and clerks, reviews recommendations and input from the trial courts, council committees, trial court employee representatives, and the public, and then makes recommendations to the Judicial Council based on the current fiscal climate and outlook. The Council makes the budget allocations to the entire judicial branch.
The courts can only close with authorization from the Legislature. Because of budget shortfalls in 2009, the Judicial Council and the State Bar recommended a uniform one-day-a-month closure for courts throughout the state. As part of the 2009-2010 Budget, the Legislature enacted legislation authorizing uniform closures for one year and it was signed by the Governor.
Truth: More than 75% of trial court presiding judges, including those in Amador and Mono, oppose AB 1208.
Truth: Typical projects in New York are in the range of $650 per square foot. The low figure used here may have come from a base cost model published by RS Means, which is an inadequate tool in estimating the cost of courthouses.
Truth: The average construction cost per square foot of California courthouses is $587. Here's why.
The figures cited here were initial budget estimates, approved by both the legislative and executive branches. These projects are nowhere near construction, and a committee of judges and other public building experts is now reviewing all courthouse projects for ways to reduce costs, including the projects in Placer and Plumas counties, so these estimates will go down.
The six-day project, which was requested by the Sacramento Superior Court and had the court's involvement and approval, involved pressure-washing and steam-cleaning of more than an acre of walkways and plaza to remove gum, feces, urine, and dirt in preparation for treating a slick walking area to remove slip and fall hazards.
Truth: No such project ever existed.
This project was requested by the court to resolve a safety hazard, as many lights at the Los Angeles Airport Courthouse parking lot were burnt out. It involved installing 48 long-lasting, energy-efficient halide lamps and required lift equipment and weekend work.
Truth: No such project was ever approved or funded.
21 members of the current 31 member Judicial Council are judicial officers (justices, judges, or commissioners)—three serve on courts based in Los Angeles—judicial officers are 15 of the 21 voting members.
Since its creation in 1926, 326 of the Council's 468 members have been judicial officers—89 from Los Angeles.
Of the Council's five major internal committees 31 of the 44 members are judicial officers.
There are 15 Trial Court Presiding Judges on the 30 voting member Trial Court Budget Working Group—the other 15 voting members are Trial Court Executive Officers.
Approximately 400 judicial officers serve on the council's advisory committees, task forces, and working groups.
These infrastructure projects have been undertaken to comply with voter and legislative mandates to transform the California court system from a loose configuration of 58 county trial court systems into a unified statewide justice system—counties had stopped providing many services and courts requested support because of the lack of local resources. The Judicial Council and the AOC are partnering with the trial courts on the development of extensive and much needed branch infrastructure to support court operations with Legal Services, Fiscal Accountability, Human Resources, Facilities, Information Technology, and CCMS. These projects support and reflect the missions of all involved and deliver on the promise of equal access to justice for all Californians:
Mission of the Judicial Council: Under the leadership of the Chief Justice and in accordance with the California Constitution, the law, and the mission of the judiciary, the Judicial Council sets the direction and provides the leadership for improving the quality and advancing the consistent, independent, impartial, and accessible administration of justice.
Mission of the Judiciary: The judiciary will, in a fair, accessible, effective, and efficient manner, resolve disputes arising under the law and will interpret and apply the law consistently, impartially, and independently to protect the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitutions of California and the United States.
Mission of the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC):—Knowledge-Excellence-Leadership-Service—The AOC shall serve the Chief Justice, the Judicial Council, and the courts for the benefit of all Californians by advancing leadership and excellence in the administration of justice that continuously improves access to a fair and impartial judicial system.
Truth: CCMS is finished and works. It took nine years to refine and develop at a cost of $315.5 million.
All recommendations by the Bureau of State Audits were accepted. The final product has been validated through two legislatively directed independent reviews (with experts reviewed by the Bureau of State Audits), the CCMS Code Quality Review and the Standard CMMI (Capabilities Maturities Model Institute) Appraisal Method.
Its value as a branch asset has been outlined in the Grant Thornton Cost Benefit Analysis, versions of CCMS are currently being used in seven trial courts on a daily basis, and the award-winning California Courts Protective Order Registry (CCPOR) was created out of CCMS. This 21st Century Courts product will allow Californians to work online rather than wait in line.

Happy July! Are you gearing up for the Fourth? I love the 4th of July -- I especially like going for walks and seeing all the flags -- they make me feel protected and proud.
|photo by Waffles McBillionaire @TiredMambo
Bookmarked! This sounds wonderful.
WOW! PERFECT TIMING! I just put a roast in the crock pot a dumped diet coke on top of it (from a 1/2 empty 2 ltr bottle). Although I added a few shakes of this & that... it's nothing like your's. I'm running back into the kitchen now to do what you've done!
My Grandmother's birthday is also July 4! I have always loved our family traditions of getting together to honor not only our nation's independence but her birthday. Oh, and as a kid I was always thought it was so cool that she got a fireworks show just for her on her special day!
this sounds really good. never made anything with cola before so should be interesting to try.
Happy 4th !!
It is very hot in Ontario so I am going to try your recipe for salmon packets in the slow cooker.
Happy 4th!
I really don't like Coke (or any cola for that matter), does this favour come through in the meal? Or does it just combine/blend in with the other ingredients?
I am new around your blog :) and I love it..
I am your new happy follower :D
I had all the ingredients except for the roast, so i tried this with the chicken thighs i'd taken out of the freezer. Also, due to sugar issues, i used diet cola and brown sugar twin. Holy cow, this was good. house smelled fantastic and lots of yummy leftover sauce. Eating 2 thighs over salad today for lunch at work. thanks for another good one! Lisa :)
Stephanie, I did the Pork Roast on Sunday; adjusted the seasoning because roast were 3.17#, did a 5oz can of fire roasted green chiles, 1 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar a 14.5oz can of tomato sauce, a full 12oz can of coke and cooked for 12 hours,; very tender, flavorful and looked just as your picture shows with the exception of mine having a little more thickened juice with the lid opened slightly the last 30 minutes. However, I did go to 4 stores looking for the Chipotle Chili powder when it should have been Chipotle Chili Pepper, after enlarging the picture that is exactly what you have there; McCormicks Chipotle Chili Pepper. Please make changes so that no one else run around like a chicken with their heads chopped off or asking for assistance for something that isn't. I will definately prepare this again, my family liked the different flvor and had many seconds from each of them. We En-joyed.
@anon, oh I'm so sorry. I hate it that I mistyped powder instead of pepper and hate it even more that you ran all over town trying to find something that doesn't exist! gah!
I've corrected the ingredient list, and again, I am SO sorry this happened.
and YAY on enjoying your dinner and the leftovers! oxox
What do you mean they aren't gluten-free? Is it the vinegar? My life (in the kitchen)is ruined if this is true...
Hi Val, no-- the vinegar is okay. the canned chiles have wheat flour in the adobo sauce for thickening. this is the variety readily available in the stores, here (CA), and they all have wheat, which is why I always use the powder. http://www.amazon.com/Embasa-Chipotle-Peppers-Adobo-7-Ounce/dp/B000H25VSM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_gro_1
We use root beer to slow cook chicken or pork. After shredding, just add your favorite BBQ sauce. Delish!
I can't wait to try this! It is brutal here in NYC and I have been making cold dinners as I don't want to heat the house. I never thought to use my slow cooker in the summer.. Thank you..Love pork! Congrats on being named on the list of food bloggers..Cool!
Hi Steph! Just fyi, San Marcos brand of chipotles in adobo are gluten free. I think the Goya are too.
Hi Ya'll,
can you make this WITHOUT the soda--we dont drink soda or make a healthier substitution?
Thanks in Advance
Thank you for your comment! I will try my hardest to answer questions as they come up, but if your question gets buried, you may try me on twitter or facebook.
Happy Slow Cooking!

Pledges pour in to help save Chetwynde
Last updated at 08:10, Monday, 02 April 2012
A BID to save a school is gathering pace, with pledges of donations of £187,000 being offered in under 24 hours.
In a shock announcement on Thursday, the governors of Chetwynde School said the only private school in Furness would be closing in July.
The board of governors for the Barrow school, in Rating Lane, said a decline in pupil numbers, and the present economic climate, meant the school is 'no longer financially viable' after the summer term.
Closure would affect 287 pupils and 78 full and part-time members of staff at the school which has some of the very best GCSE and A-Level results in Cumbria.
The decision initially sparked panic among families and there was a scramble to find places at other schools, but within hours parents had organised a meeting to rally support to devise a rescue plan to save the school.
Some 400 parents, pupils, ex-pupils and teachers gathered for a passionate meeting where the school community vowed to fight for Chetwynde and keep their children at the school.
A rescue package has been set with a target of raising £500,000 which would allow the school to stay open for the next academic year, buying the school time to develop a sustainable plan to increase its pupil numbers. Chetwynde said it needs 300 pupils to be viable.
As the school broke up for Easter yesterday, a cross section of the pupils stayed on with staff to speak to the Evening Mail to show solidarity for Chetwynde and their sense of hope for its future survival.
Headteacher, Russell Collier, said: "There is a positive feel, and there is hope. Having witnessed the emotion and passion at the meeting from the parents, staff and pupils, it tells us there is an enormous amount of hope that the school can be saved.
"Pledges started arriving on Thursday after the meeting and as of 4.30pm (Friday) we have pledges of £187,000. It shows people want the school to continue. Some of those payments are in five figures. We have had pledges, some cheques, and we have had people paying fees in advance, even beyond this year.
"There are pledges from parents, pupils, past students, grandparents, and businesses. Companies have pledged to help with the maintenance of the school, the offer of services with the grounds, legal advice, and building advice.
"There is a body of school parents who are meeting to help with the rescue plans."
Fern Schofield, of Year 12, filled up with tears as she stood up at the meeting to explain why the school must be saved.
The 17-year-old, of Barrow, who wants to study business at university said: "Initially we were all really shocked and then the worry started to kick in because next year is a crucial year for us, we are halfway through our A-Levels. I have been here since Year Seven and I was speaking at the meeting on behalf of my whole year group to show just how much we care about the school. I wanted to express how devastated we all were and that we want to do all we can to keep it open.
"There was so much passion for the school. I've not seen anything like it, it was overwhelming, it filled us with hope. On Thursday the school was silent, today (Friday) we are all in much higher spirits, we are filled with hope. I don't think anyone realised how many people were going to turn up at the meeting.
"I feel the target will be met, there is support from parents, pupils, ex-pupils and hopefully businesses."
The board of governors are holding ongoing meetings with the school's bank to talk about taking the plans forward.

Have your say
"Parent" is being a little disingenuous.They seem to suggest that the chief motivation to send their kids to private school is some heroic philanthropic gesture,ie saving the government money.Even if that's true,it's merely an incidental consequence of doing so. You could use the same argument by saying all chain-smokers save the gov money by the revenue they pay. A few years ago it cost £6 billion to treat smoking -related diseases,yet raised £8 billion in revenue.People don't smoke to be generous the exchequer!
I am actually torn on this issue of the merits of private education.
I think parents should have a choice, but I am not sure what this choice is based on.
If privately educated children were in state education then perhaps state education would be seen as a viable option. Why?
The obvious enthusiasm and devotion to their childrenâs education, by Chetwynde parentsâ, would have helped sort out some of the problems found in our local schools.
I believe all those who are privately educated would undoubtedly do just as well in state education. Their parents are too committed and on the ball to allow them to fail. Whether a child gets into bad company and drops out is mostly down to the home situation not what school it attends. Fears about state education are exacerbated by listening to moans from other parents. These moans are warranted, but how many parents go into state schools and try to sort things out, not many. If they did try to sort things like the Chetwynde parents then they would find much improvement as teachers and Heads would surely listen.Chetwynde is a good school. The league tables show this and so perpetuates the impression that all will come out with Aâs. This is obviously not the case. I then wonder why this is not the case given the opportunities laid at the feet of these children, they have it all on a plate in comparison to those in state education. I know of a child who went to Chetwynde in year 7 and another who went to a local failing school in the same year. They left junior school with the same SATS scores. Chetwynde child scraped through with a few GCSEâs, Failing school child got 12 GCSEâs at A*s Aâs and Bâs.
It is because you cannot change a childâs attitude or brain power, whatever school it attends.
Chetwynde is also in the fortunate position of being able to shed children with special needs. I am led to believe they cannot accommodate anyone too special as they do not have the resources or staff to deal with these children. (I know of one child who was sent to state education due to this). I still think Chetwynde is a good school and given the clientele, it would be quite ludicrous if it were not. No I donât mean wealth or privilege, I mean the type of parent who sends their child there. Whether their reasons for using the school is backed up by unwarranted fear or not, you cannot deny their commitment and enthusiasm for their childrenâs education.
From a selfish viewpoint, I wish it would close and so help improve local state education (God only knows all the enthusiasm and money being ploughed into it would help other schools enormously) but from a charitable viewpoint I wish them all the best of luck and I hope they manage to create a stable school for the childrenâs sake.

LOWVILLE Village police have charged a Lowville man with endangering the welfare of a child and tattooing a child younger than 18 years old, both misdemeanors.
William J. Morley, 31, is accused of tattooing a 14-year-old girl Sunday at a Water Street residence. A complaint was brought by the girls mother when she discovered the tattoo.
Section 260.21 of State Penal Law makes it illegal to mark the body of a child less than 18 years old with indelible ink or pigments by means of tattooing. Parental consent cannot be given to tattoo a child under the age of 18.
Mr. Morley is to answer the charges in Village Court.

|Three Suspects Caught in Ashe Robbery
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 14 June 2010 05:01
Three suspects have been arrested in Ashe County after an incident last night in the Shatley Springs area.
The Ashe Sheriff's Department was called to what was first reported as a fight with serious injuries at a location near the Shatley Springs Tom Fowler road at about 7:45 last night. EMS units had to stage away from the scene for some time while deputies sorted out the incident, with some of the injured from the melee treated at the staging area and later at Ashe Medical Center. At about 8pm, detectives were called to the scene as it began to appear that the matter was actually an armed robbery. With that, The Ashe Sheriff's Department issued a look-out for a late-model gray Honda four-door sedan driven by a white female with at least one black male passenger. The car fled toward US 221and Alleghany, Wilkes, and other foothills area lawmen were alerted to the suspect vehicle. Just before 9pm, the woman and the car were located on NC 16 at Tom Fowler road, and within minutes, well away from that scene, the two black male suspects were seen going into Ingles in West Jefferson. With one deputy observing, other units converged on the scene and stopped the vehicle on Beaver Creek School road just after 9pm and the two suspects were arrested. So far, other details of the incident have been released by detectives.

Beans, herbs, leafy greens, and strawberries are great choices if you're considering an edible landscape for your front yard. Edible landscaping combines the beauty of botanicals with edible plants that provide many textures, unique shapes, and vibrant colors to your landscaping. And edible landscaping maximizes your return by way of putting healthy, homegrown food on the table.
One of the biggest reasons why individuals are choosing edible landscaping today is the economy. With food prices continuing to rise—not to mention our carbon footprint and food safety—discerning individuals are going back to basics when it comes to living better and living a more joyful life.
There are several ways that herbs and vegetables can be incorporated into landscaping:
1. Instead of planting flowers in window boxes try lettuces that vary in color, from purples to reds.
2. Plant vegetables with contrasting colors next to each other for striking beauty, such as purple cabbage and snow white cauliflower.
3. Thyme pairs well with colorful strawberries, and they're both perfect for containers.
4. Add a touch of French gardening into your edible landscape by incorporating raised beds with gravel-lined paths in between the beds.
5. Grow beans on trellises behind flower beds.
6. Include edible flowers into your landscape, such as peppery-flavored nasturtium, scented geranium, and violet.
These are just a few ideas for edible landscaping that can turn your front yard into a work of delicious art!

We understand the jitters that causes, but the majority of the services are going to continue, Canton-Potsdam Hospital Administrator David B. Acker said Wednesday at a press conference on E.J. Nobles future. Were respectful of unions. This is not an attempt to have a non-union workforce.
The elimination of all of E.J. Nobles contracts, including those it has for linen, equipment and various leases, would be a consequence of the hospitals proposal that it dissolve and sell its assets to Gouverneur Hospital.
Under the plan, both Gouverneur Hospital and Canton-Potsdam Hospital, which has a management agreement with E.J. Noble, would fall under the umbrella of a parent corporation, St. Lawrence Health System.
New York State Nurses Association Executive Director Jill Furillo, a registered nurse, said that her union is watching developments.
The people of Gouverneur deserve quality healthcare where they live, she wrote in an email. But Canton-Potsdam executives have not committed to keep all services at E.J. Noble open for care. NYSNA is fighting to preserve care and to make sure that we all have a voice in decisions that impact our care.
Nurses, who have been told they will be terminated Dec. 1 and have to apply for jobs with the new hospital, fear they are being forced out.
NYSNA will have a rally from 2 to 4 p.m. Monday in front of the hospital, 77 W. Barney St.
Officials at Service Employees International Union did not return phone calls for comment.
If Gouverneur Hospital is established in October, the five-member restructuring board that has been in place at E.J. Noble will continue and expand. It will then hire a human resources director to discuss the future with NYSNA and SEIU, Mr. Acker said.
The uncertainly over jobs and union recognition has caused anxiety, said Gouverneur Mayor Ronald P. McDougall, who is also president of Central Trades and Labor Council.
Obviously, theres concern about it, but the hospitals still running, he said. I think its all subject to negotiation. Im sure the board will look at it.
Mr. McDougall said he expected the hospital soon to issue employees a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice as required by the U.S. Department of Labor in advance of E.J. Nobles closing.
Nobody wants to get a WARN notice, nobody, he said.
However, Mr. McDougall said he was cautiously optimistic that a hospital would continue to provide health care in Gouverneur.
a question of services
E.J. Nobles 217 employees include 170 full-time equivalents. After the state Health Department temporarily closed E.J. Nobles lab Sept. 28 for deficiencies, 70 of the hospitals 245 workers at the time were laid off. Later, more than 20 returned to work.
The number employed by Gouverneur Hospital will depend on the services it offers, Mr. Acker said.
I see great growth opportunities here, he said.
The dissolution of E.J. Noble and the purchase of its assets by Gouverneur Hospital would allow the restructuring of E.J. Nobles $16 million debt and provide the capital to recruit providers, make repairs and purchase modern equipment, Mr. Acker said.
I think the question in most peoples mind is how this will benefit the citizens of Gouverneur, he said. Its become clear to us that what is really important here is a fresh start.
The Gouverneur hospital has already paid bills owed local vendors and it has been working with some creditors to modify other outstanding debt. An arrangement with the National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund, the bondholder for the hospitals recent expansion project, has been worked out, Mr. Acker said.
With state Supreme Court in St. Lawrence County as the arbiter during dissolution proceedings, others owed money will be offered partial settlement, leaving Gouverneur Hospital with a clean slate on how it provides healthcare and obtaining needed funding to improve services, Mr. Acker said.
status quo unsustainable
E.J. Nobles annual revenue of about $13 million cannot achieve what needs to be done to modernize information technology, buy equipment, fix what breaks, provide formalized staff education and implement case management or patient safety, let alone pay down its debt, he said.
Its unsustainable, board Chairman Michael J. Burgess said.
Debt resolution under the dissolution plan will also improve the hospitals credit from day one of it becoming Gouverneur Hospital. Many vendors have for years demanded cash on delivery before they make a drop off, Mr. Burgess said.
Declaring bankruptcy was considered by the E.J. Noble board, which had the assistance of a restructuring firm, but was ruled out, Mr. Burgess said.
Designation as a critical access hospital, which will mean increased Medicare reimbursements, will translate to $1.5 million more in annual revenue, Mr. Acker said.
The status of Kinney Nursing Home, which is affiliated with the hospital, is being reviewed by an outside consultant, Mr. Burgess said.
Theres no real answers right now, he said.
The nursing home had a modest loss in 2012 of about $60,000, but that was only because of a settlement, Mr. Acker said. The nursing home more typically loses $250,000 to $400,000 annually.
Combining forces with Canton-Potsdam Hospital also improves each others fortunes, he said.
Just as Gouverneur needs to grow, Canton-Potsdam needs to grow, Mr. Acker said.
Together, the two hospitals will be the primary health care catchment area for 73,000 of the countys population of 112,000.
That changes things for all the people that are serviced, Mr. Acker said.
For example, instead of three ob/gyn doctors based in Canton, St. Lawrence Health System could attract a fourth physician who would spend several days a week providing service in Gouverneur.
Thats huge because there isnt anyone right now, Mr. Burgess said.
Having resources to improve such things as emergency room waiting time and speed up laboratory turnarounds will result in better patient outcomes, Mr. Acker said.
It really does yield better care, he said.

CANTON A debate over whether St. Lawrence County assistant district attorneys should receive raises has resulted in dueling press releases issued by District Attorney Mary E. Rain and Steven G. Ballan, president of the county Indigent Defenders.
The issue was raised Monday at the county Board of Legislators meeting when Ms. Rain, championed by several Democratic legislators, argued that her assistant district attorneys should have their salaries increased so she could retain an experienced staff. Doing so would result in a more efficient office and save the county money in the long run, she said.
The proposed pay raises, which would be effective March 29, represented percentage increases that ranged from 13 percent to 23 percent. Chief Assistant District Attorney David A. Haggards salary would go from $80,816 to $98,575, making him paid more than any department head. The raises would total about $48,000.
Despite the increase, the raises would be $28,000 less than the 2014 budget for the DAs office allowed because they are not for the entire year.
Mr. Ballan, in a press release Friday evening, wrote that information provided by Ms. Rain was misleading and incorrect.
Unfortunately, paying prosecutors more will not increase the performance of the individual attorneys nor increase the conviction rate, any more than paying defense attorneys more will increase the percentage of not guilty verdicts, he wrote. Compensation should be based upon experience, hours and supervisors evaluations.
After Mondays contentious meeting attended by Mr. Ballan, which resulted in legislators delaying a decision, Ms. Rain issued a press release of her own that, in part, compared assistant district attorneys with other county attorneys to bolster her argument.
To differentiate, prosecutors are tasked with a great responsibility of not only ensuring that justice is served, but that it is done so in a fair, efficient and cost-effective manner, requiring a 24/7 commitment, her release stated. ADAs are always on call, requiring them to provide bail recommendations to local court judges at arraignment, respond to vehicle crash sites to assist with fatal accident collisions, and visit and assist at crime scenes, such as meth labs.
However, Mr. Ballan cited a letter Ms. Rain sent to city, town and village justices to let them know that assistant district attorneys would not be coming to their courts in January with the exception of Ogdensburg, Massena and Gouverneur.
During January 2014, the Public Defender and Conflict Defender sent criminal defense attorneys to all 36 courts without interruption, Mr. Ballan wrote. To put the record straight, in 2013, the six lawyers in the Public Defenders Office alone worked in excess of 2,000 hours for which they received no compensation at all.
At the meeting, Ms. Rain said that county public defenders make more money than ADAs. But Mr. Ballan said that is not true.
All attorneys working for the county were on the same salary schedule in 2013, with a few deviations for special circumstances, he wrote. After the formation of St. Lawrence County Indigent Defenders union, the employees of the Public Defenders Office and the Conflict Defenders Office have received no raises. In January 2014, the ADAs received raises and on a 2014 pay scale, while defense attorneys are still on a 2013 pay scale.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
A suspected clandestine drug laboratory was shut down in Helper last Wednesday and one arrest was made in connection with the alleged drug production facility.
City police executed a search warrant on the evening of May 10 after the department found evidence to support a suspicion that a residence contained a controlled substance and clandestine laboratory equipment.
Sgt. Ralph Vose and Officer Stephen Boyer worked the case throughout the day and the department obtained a search warrant which was executed at approximately 9:30 p.m. at 118 South Main Street Apt. 1 in Helper, virtually across the street from the police headquarters.
After the department executed the warrant, one suspect, 32 year-old Rebecca Gamble, was arrested for possession of amphetamine and a clandestine laboratory. The arrest marks the fourth time in less than a year that Gamble was arrested in Carbon County for alleged drug-related offenses.
In June of 2005, the Sun Advocate reported that Gamble was arrested in Helper and booked on June 4, 2005 for allegedly driving under the influence of an intoxicant and unlawful possession/use of drug paraphernalia after being stopped for a reported failure to signal while driving.
In September, the newspaper reported that Gamble had been booked on Aug. 29, 2005 for reportedly driving under the influence of an intoxicant and unlawful possession/use of drug paraphernalia by Price city police.
And last month, Gamble's name appeared again the newspaper's report of jail bookings, stating that she had been arrested and booked on April 16 by Helper police for alleged unlawful possession/use of drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession/use of a controlled substance and intoxication.
Helper Police contacted the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, which worked with the Helper department on the incident. The DEA assisted in removal of various hazardous substances found on the premises.
The department also called the regional hazardous material support team of the Utah Division of Emergency Services and Homeland Security. This HAZMAT team serves Carbon and Emery counties and worked to decontaminate the arrestee prior to her being booked into the county jail.
In addition, the Carbon County HAZMAT team made entry into the suspected lab and removed hazardous material from the residence.
Utah County also responded with a HAZMAT team. Utah County's team used its more sophisticated equipment to remove and sample various products that were allegedly used or produced in connection with the suspected meth lab.
Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis described the suspected lab as a small operation.
"It wasn't very sophisticated," said the chief. "However, from small to large, our police department is going to respond and be proactive in removing these kinds of drugs from our community and going after people who are making and selling these substances."
Individuals who operate meth labs put themselves and their neighbors at risk because of the types of substances used in the lab and the processes used in producing amphetamines.
Zamantakis noted that the effects of drug labs reach much further than the immediate time and place where the lab is operated. Current and future residents of homes where laboratories existed are placed at risk of exposure to potentially dangerous substances.
"We have a zero tolerance," said Zamantakis. "We are going to aggressively go after these kinds of people."
After the initial entry into the residence, police and other response teams worked for more than seven hours on the case. The team wrapped up its clean-up efforts at approximately 5 a.m. on May 11.
The police chief said he was appreciative of the agencies who participated in the incident. He explained that it takes quite a few people and cooperation between agencies to execute the type of operation that took place last week.
Earlier this month at a city council meeting, Zamantakis reported to councilmembers and city residents that the department was seeing an increase in drug-related investigations and arrests. He explained that as Helper police crack down on the drug problems, dealing and production operations will likely move elsewhere.
He said that the increase is a cycle he has seen before. Drug operations will move to another area. As other municipal police agencies and the sheriff's office crack down, Zamantakis said that drug operations will return to the city.
He said he didn't have an answer to stop that cycle, but was committed to cracking down on the drug problem within the city and send a message that the city was not going to put up with the production, sale or use of illegal drugs within the city.

Hi,Has anyone had any problems with a backpack leaching its dye?I have purchased a pack recently but unfortunately it discolors my clothes. I am really disappointed because I like this pack otherwise. This pack discoloured my shirt in quite a few places the first time I wore it. The interesting thing is that I have put a piece of paper towel in the front mesh pocket and part of it got discolored as well. It rained that day so it looks like the pack discolors when in contact with water even when there is no friction. Probably it would discolour when sweating as well.I am not going to mention who the manufacturer is because they have told me to return this pack for a refund. They say that the dye is not water soluble and that they have no idea why the pack would discolour my clothes. The refund would be somewhat of a hassle to me though. I am in Canada so I paid $40 in shipping. To return it I would have to spend another $40. Additionally I paid taxes on it (13%) for which I will have to fill in paper work, sent it away etc. to get the tax money back if I can even find the receipt.Anyway, I wonder if anyone had such a problem and what did you do about it? Anything that I could do to set the dye in?I am looking forward to hearing from you.Thank you.
Gossamer Gear had that problem at one point.I had a Gorilla and had NO problems. And I'm a sweat hog.
What material is your pack made of? There is no reason to hide the maker.
Dye can be set with a mordant. Dharma trading sells it.http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/1569-AA.shtml?lnav=chemicals.html
Sorry to hear it's happened to you Alina!Though I have no solution to share I did have a similar experience with a backpack. Oddly, my troubles were geographically reversed. A backpack from Canada for use in the USA.I had a 2012 MEC Travel Light Top Loader daypack (link) in the color blue (which is no longer made apparently. You can read a brief description of the problem on the reviews section of the same page (no way it seems to link directly to the review but if you are interested you can look for the review dated September 23, 2012). There is also a picture attached to that review showing the dye transfer from the backpack to my shirt.Good luck!
I had a backpack from a well-known grown-up cottage manufacturer that discolored my clothes. That pack had more serious problems, too, so it's gone.My new pack is white cuben fiber from HMG. Now, my clothes stain my pack :-)Discoloring in either direction is not a big deal to me. I have more trouble with sweat and dirt stains, but I don't care much about those, as long as everything still functions well. -- Rex
In 2009 my GG Murmur stained a brand new Rail Riders Eco-Mesh shirt. Apparently it was a common problem as I found instructions on the GG Website on how to prep the pack. They fixed the problem since then.I was a little peeved, but over the years most of the stain has slowly washed out of the shirt. Doesn't really matter -- I only wear it backpacking anyway.
Thank you Guys,@Michael L --- I have went to their website but they do not say what the fabric is. I do not want to mention their name because they are willing to take the pack back so I do not want to give them a negative review and drag their name through forums. Apparently, according to them, I am the first person to have such problem. @Desert Dweller--- Did you do any dyeing yourself? How were the results?@Nick Gatel--- Do you still have/remember the instructions on how to fix colour form GG website?Thank you.
Alina,Instructions were to soak it in warm water (I think). The problem was the mesh panel that holds the frame pad. Apparently they got a bad batch of material from a supplier and did not find out about it until customers started complaining.It is not something to be concerned with their quality or service, just one of those things that happen.
Hi,I have sent an email to Gossamer Gear asking them about the problem they had with their packs leaching dye before ( a couple of you had mentioned that it was the case). I thought that maybe that could shed some light on my problem. To my surprise they have denied having such problem ever.I have sent a response saying that that person maybe was not working there long enough to know about it and that maybe they should ask around. I have received no response. I wonder how are their products and customer service? Can anyone comment on it? As of now I do not have much faith in them if they have no problems lying like that.Thank you.
Much depends on the composition of the dyes used. There are many types of dyes, some more binding to fabrics and some not so binding. I have dyed fabrics, leather and feathers for my business as a seamstress for movies and theater costumes. If they are using synthetic fabrics the dyes should have been set if its quality material since synthetics do not take dye well after manufacture. Most of the time dyes are entered into the synthetic "fibers" when they are in a malleable state before being woven. If its natural materials it is normal to have some bleeding at certain times. Often a strong dye is used taking that into consideration, or several layers of dye. But the mark of quality materials, synthetic or natural is no bleeding or very little cause they should be setting the dyes before cutting fabrics to make things.If it bleeds, then somewhere in the process of production steps were skipped entirely or neglected. I have some very nice cotton towels that still bleed three years after I bought them....this was rare 30 years ago so production is getting sloppy.And it might not be the fault of the end product maker, they might have gotten a bad lot that just was not set well.Salts in our sweat are very leaching, it's possible that the dye used in your pack was/is chemically inclined to break down faster with sweat rather than plain water. And yes, warm/hot water plus white vinegar and salt set dyes.
Edited by Drusilla on 08/23/2013 23:20:34 MDT.
Thank you Desert Dweller.The pack is made of nylon. Someone before also has asked me what the pack was made of.
I had a 2003 Granite Gear Vapor Trail that stained a white hiking shirt and a soft-shell jacket.edit to add: Great pack that served me well otherwise.
Edited by oiboyroi on 08/24/2013 00:18:33 MDT.
Yes, they are a good company. Click Here for their Mariposa manual and a note about dye stains on page 3.
Thank you Nick. Interesting! I am going to send this pamphlet to GG and see if they will still claim that they had never had such problem. Ha....I caught them.Is this pamphlet out of their current website or is it from before? I wonder if they still have this problem. In the pamphlet they say that it might be body chemistry but in your previous post you said that they had a bad batch. I guess it is hard to say what the reason was, isn't it?In my case the manufacturer says that there are people who have the same batch as me yet nobody complains. Therefore the "bad batch" theory is not applicable in my case, according to them at least. I am not sure how forthcoming companies are with their shortcomings though. I have a feeling that manufacturers do not admit having problems very easily.I wonder how well would soaking in hot water work. When I wash clothes where the dye is not set too well there is dye leaching every time I wash them. The company that made my backpack says to use fabric waterproofing spray. I do not know how well that works.Thank you.
Alina,The manual is from their website. It is several years old and the problem is probably fixed, so it would not be fair to expect all the employees to know about it. The problem was with the mesh panel on the back of the back that is used to hold a pad as a frame, which most manufacturer do not incorporate into there designs. Other than McHale Alpine Packs, I don't know of any manufacturers that dye their packs.
Here's what nick linked to.Note:Recently we've had a few reports of the pad holder mesh causing stains on shirts. Last year weencountered this issue in less than 1% of the packs sold and have always thought that it had somethingto do with specific personal body chemistry which reacts with the dye in the mesh. We have been notifiedof several more staining issues this season so we have looked into the production of the mesh and havebeen assured that the fabric is colorfast. We are currently searching for either an alternative fabric ormesh that has been through a more rigorous wash test for the next run of packs. We are alsoconsidering a redesign of the back panel that we may test later in the year. In the interim, the bestsolution is to soak the pack in warm/hot water which should leach out any excess dye in the fabric. Donot put the pack in a washing machine, however
I've had this happen with a number of packs. I sweat a lot. Newly dyed fabrics don't always retain all their dye when exposed to warm salty sweat. Like Nick, I had my original spinnaker fabric GG Murmur do this, also with EcoMesh shirts as it happens, which are my favorite 3-season hiking shirt. The leaching was restricted to the back of the hiking shirt and top of hiking pants, where typically black mesh fabric either made up a pad pocket (GG) or covered a frame sheet or other pack element in another manufacturer's pack. GG seems to have fixed this problem.Eventually any dye leaching stops and eventually the discolored areas on hiking shirts also fade, though not completely. But they are, after all, backpacking attire. Stains are an indication of the trail miles they have seem, a mark of "character" if you will. I love GG stuff, and own a lot of it. I still use my old Murmur, which no longer has spare dye to stain anything with. I still use my EcoMesh shirts, which are now conveniently pre-stained should a new pack tend to leach any dye. ; )
Edited by QiWiz on 08/27/2013 15:22:00 MDT.
The Murmur still leaches dye. I took it about a month ago on a couple weeks outing and it stained my shirt a bit. Not too bad, I ignore it. It generally only transfers to clothing that has a better afinity to the dye. Not nylon for instance, but wool will pick up some. (I wear an Ibex hiking shirt.) The older GG MiniPosa did the same when it was new. As did the old G5. I also picked up some from an older Atmos I have. And the older Trek leached onto my shoulders a bit. ... Part of hiking in HOT weather.

How we feel about where we live has a lot to do with how emotionally tied we are to a place.
Take me for example. I have lived here for 15 years and I love Carbon County in particular and eastern Utah in general.
I know other people who have lived here their whole life and hate it.
You have to ask yourself. Why do they stay here then?
Often people get moved somewhere when they are kids or by a job requirement and hate a place. But once a person is grown up or changes jobs (something they could do if they really wanted to anyway) why would they stay living somewhere they hate.
But more amusing than the people who live here and hate it are the people who don't live here and hate it.
Now over the years I have traveled extensively across the United States and Canada, have found places I really liked by first impression and those I don't. Generally when I found a place I liked it was because I liked the people. When I found a place I didn't like it usually had to do with...well the people I met.
Now for me there are some downright bad places to live, but that is purely my opinion. For instance, I don't care much for Texas or Nebraska. Both too flat.
I also was not crazy about some of the big cities I worked in on the East coast either. However, after getting out of my comfort zone, understanding how they operate and looking for the good there, I really came to appreciate them.
I think that is why many people from outside an area don't like a place. It is too hard to separate themselves from their comfort zone.
Certainly we live in a predominately rural place, but I always have to laugh when people from other places say to me, "Gee what do you do for fun in a place like that?"
First of all I don't spend all that much time having fun, I mean in the traditional sense. I spend a lot of time working, just like I did when I lived in Salt Lake or Los Angeles and when I was on the road in all those big cities I used to work in. That's not to say I don't enjoy what I do, but I can't call it fun.
Secondly, besides work there are a lot of things to do in life just to keep surviving. I spend a lot of time doing those things.
For the fun time, I watch some television, read and often go hiking, camping or work on projects of interest to me.
Gee, all of those are many of the same things I did when I lived along the Wasatch Front. The difference is that when I do outdoors kinds of things here I don't usually have to fight crowds (except on weekends when all those people from up north come south).
No, I can't go to the mall at the drop of a hat (as if I did that much anyway) and there aren't 32 movie houses to pick from. Not big things in my book anyway.
But people seem to get impressions of places they have passed through and never really got to know the area before forming their opinions.
When I moved here I found out my cousins wife's relatives were from here. One day I was talking to him on the phone and he told me how much he hated to come to Carbon County to visit her relatives because he "hated Price."
When I asked him why, he told me because there was nothing to do and it was always too hot. Our conversation drifted to this point after he talked about how all his free time had been spent working on his house for the last five years. I asked him if he lived in Price how different that would be; would he still be working on a house.
"Probably," he said.
"So what would be so different then?" I asked.
"The temperature," he answered.
I just happened to be watching the weather on that July afternoon while I was on the phone with him.
"Mark Eubank says the temperature where you live is 98," I said as I watched the screen "He says it's 89 in Price."
At that point he shut up.
Last week a friend of mine was at a meeting in Salt Lake where someone was telling a story from the speakers stand concerning a prize they won in a raffle. It happened to be a two night stay at one of Price's nicer motels and dinner for two at one of the local restaurants.
Everyone in the room laughed, like they thought it was the boobie prize. Had the speaker said stay was in Moab or St. George do you think anyone would have snickered?
You can't change everyones mind about a place, but you can certainly try.
I guess it is just up to us to keep at it.

KENMORE, N.Y.-Niagara Falls looked like a team with something to prove on Tuesday night against Kenmore West. The Falls lost two straight over the weekend in Rochester.
Niagara Falls took control of the game quickly, scoring the first 14 points of the game, and ended the first quarter with a 20-4 lead. The Wolverines never looked back, going on to win 66-34.
# 10 Jermaine Crumpton led all scorers with 21 points, and had an impressive performance after a tough weekend. Niagara Falls Head Coach Sal Constantino said of Crumpton " The last three games he had 13, 4, and 8. We talked about being more aggressive, and that dunk he had got him going early".
# 3 Vinzell Watkins also added 19 for the Wolverines as they cruised to victory. " The 14-0 run we had to start the game predicated on the defense, when we guard we're pretty good" said Coach Constantino. Kenmore West played the majority of the game without big man # 32 Quinton Campbell who was ejected in the first quarter with a double technical foul. The top scorer for the Blue Devils was #11 Terrell Ford, who ended the game with 10 points.
Kenmore West drops to 10-6 overall, 8-4 in the NFL, Niagara Falls improves to 13-3 overall, and 12-0 in the NFL. Next up for Niagara Falls is Lockport at home on Friday night.

'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother' blog post goes viral. What's your take?
A Boise mother named Liza Long posted a story Friday on her blog, The Anarchist Soccer Mom, in response to the mass shooting in Connecticut, where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after killing his mother earlier that morning. The gunman then took his own life inside the school.
The motive of the gunman, Adam Lanza, is not yet known, and there has been no official statement released about the state of Lanza's mental health. There has been speculation that the 20-year-old gunman had Asperger's syndrome, but that has not been confirmed. With the details of what led to Friday's tragic events still unfolding, the shooting caused Long to write and publish a blog post about life with her mentally ill 13-year-old son. The post went viral.
"I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me," wrote Long in the post that was shared on social media as 'I Am Adam Lanza's Mother.'"
Some on Facebook and Twitter are calling Long heroic for speaking so candidly about her fear of her son. Others, like anthropologist Sarah Kendzior, have accused her of violating her son's privacy (Long used a pseudonym in the post for her son, but not for herself).
Long and Kendzior have issued a joint statement, saying: "We are not interested in being part of a 'mommy war'. We are interested in opening a serious conversation on what can be done for families in need."
What do you think about Long's blog post? Is it helping to further a national conversation about treating mental illness? Or do you agree with Kendzior? Comment below.

The Swindle (Il Bidone)
Swindle and The Swindlers are both English-language titles for 1955's Il Bidone, a lesser-known effort from Federico Fellini. Broderick Crawford, Richard Basehart, and Franco Fabrizi play a trio of con artists who victimize the Italian bourgeoisie (who are shown to be no better than the crooks). Giueletta Masina (Fellini's wife), who had previously costarred with Richard Basehart in La Strada, here plays Basehart's wife. Humphrey Bogart had been intended for the role played by Broderick Crawford; one wonders how Crawford's self-deprecating curtain speech about the hollowness of his existence would have played in Bogart's hands. Swindle was not released to the US until nine years after its completion.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Cast: Giulietta Masina, Richard Basehart, Franco Fabrizi, Sue Ellen Blake, Broderick Crawford

Shorebirdfan wrote:Actually he hit .188 in the 14 games at Low A after returning from injury. It certainly takes time after coming back from any injury to get your timing back, and I would certainly bet even more so when your 18 and probably never missed tiem in your life due to an injury. Willing to bet it is nothing "long term" but still feel strongly they should have left him at Low A until it was worked out. I don't like that the O's rush these young kids.

Edwards Presence as a Blocker Remembered By Rex Ryan
Ben Shipgel writes a good summation article of how the Jets and Braylon Edwards got to here in the NY Times. In it, he mentions Ryan's respect for Edwards and why it was an important part of the Jets offense.
Saying he always had "a great deal of admiration and respect" for Edwards, Coach Rex Ryan last month praised him for his work ethic, toughness and unselfish nature. In the "Playing Like a Jet" videos that the team showed players the day after games, Edwards was a constant presence — as a blocker. Asked about Edwards on Monday, Ryan deferred to the past.
"You guys know what I've always said about Braylon," Ryan said, adding, "So you know how I feel about him."
As I've written about a lot in the last 24 hours, Edwards might not catch 30 balls between now and the end of the season, but he will give the team a solid blocker on the outside to help the Jets stretch the field on running plays. At his size and speed, he's willing and able to use his leverage against interior players. I wanted to look back at some of the blocks he made on Wildcat plays for Brad Smith, and he had some great downfield blocks as well as some good edge-setting blocks from lined up out wide (not crack blocks) and he could hold his own due to his size.
I'm not saying we're heading back to the good old days, but watch this and remember what this offense looked like just two years ago … the one at 3:22 is my all time favorite.

Post Game: Knicks 94, Timberwolves 91
On Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks (20-7) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (13-12) by the score of 94-91. Box Score
Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks in scoring with 33 points on 10-25 shooting from the field. He added 7 rebounds and scored 19 of the Knicks final 23 points of the game.
J.R. Smith scored 19 points on the bench on 7-15 shooting with a team high seven assists, five rebounds and three steals.
Nikola Pekovic led the Wolves in scoring with 21 points on 7-16 shooting from the field with a game high 17 rebounds. Alexi Shved added 18 points with five rebounds, four assists, but also five turnovers.
Tyson Chandler had 16 points, added a team high nine rebounds and was second on the team with three assists. Raymond Felton had 15 points on 7-15 shooting from the field, but only had two assists.
Jason Kidd and Ronnie Brewer, 40% of the starting lineup only took a combined three shots and scored no points.
The Knicks only shot 26% from three, making only 6 of 26 attempts.
The Knicks allowed 55 points in the first half but only gave up 36 points in the second half, outscoring the T-Wolves 48-36.
Knicks finish the six game home stand 4-2, and are now 12-2 at home this season.
This was the 6th time this season the Knicks have come back from a double digit deficit.
Matthew Falkenbury
With the Jets playing out the string under the big top, and the Giants laying another egg, the Knicks almost made it a triple play of poor games in New York today. But thanks to Carmelo Anthony, and a suffocating defense in the second half, the Knicks pulled out a victory from the jaws of defeat. With the crowd going on a roller coaster ride, as Clyde put it, the Knicks had just enough in the end to get away with a victory. To put it in simpler terms, the Knicks had Carmelo Anthony and the Timberwolves did not. A frustrating game for the most part, but a win is a win none the less. As Wally Szczerbiak put it, you should never complain about a win.
Carmelo Anthony saved the day for the Knicks. The MVP chants raining down from the Garden for Melo were well deserved after watching his performance in the fourth quarter tonight. The Knicks struggled for pretty much the whole game and looked like they were on the verge of heading west with a bad taste in their mouths. But, Carmelo Anthony was not going to allow that to happen. The T-Wolves missed a chance, I think, to put the game away after Coach Woodson was called for a technical foul and they had the ball, up 86-82 after the free throw on the tech was made. A basket on that possession would have been huge, but it did not happen and the Knicks got the momentum back. Melo hits a three, off a great pass from J.R. Smith, to make it 86-85, then after a stop on defense, drives on Andrei Kirilenko and gets the And-1 to give the Knicks a lead they would not give up. Melo, who has his struggles from the line from time to time, also knocked down six straight free throws to help put the game away.
J.R. Smith has been playing very well this home stand and tonight he was making plays all over the court to help give the Knicks energy off the bench. He filled up the stat sheet, including a team high seven assists, and the one pass he made on the Melo three, referenced above, was a textbook definition of "Good J.R." Now, what would a J.R. performance be without at least some "Bad J.R." moments. The technical foul and the turnover that led to a Alexi Shved three was four points the Knicks didn't need to give up. But he has been a great player off the bench and a favorite to be the 6th man of the year. I know with the struggles of Ronnie Brewer in the starting lineup, some people want J.R. to start. I don't agree, because his energy off the bench is huge and in games like tonight, it was needed.
It is really something when 40% of your starting lineup doesn't score one point and you still win the game. This is far from a criticism of Kidd and Brewer, but when you think about it, it really is kind of amazing.
The Timberwolves, if they are run properly, and gosh knows some of the moves made by G.M. David Kahn have been simply mind boggling, can be a force in the Western Conference. They played tonight without Kevin Love, and still looked pretty impressive for the most part. They have four players who can run the offense, led by Ricky Rubio, and they have a front line that can be the best in the NBA. The Timberwolves have found their way out of the woods after the Garnett deal and have a bright future. Now, for the Timberwolves fans, they just have to hope that Donnie Walsh's former right hand man, doesn't screw it up.
The Knicks finish the home stand 4-2 and though the record through a third of the season is great, on pace for 60 wins, things can certainly improve. The return of players like Marcus Camby, Rasheed Wallace and Amar'e Stoudemire is going to really help them against big teams like Minnesota or Chicago as the season goes on. Then you factor in that Shumpert's return is on the horizon, the problems with quick guards could also be a thing of the past. The Knicks are the best team in the East. a title contender and teams, as good as the Knicks have been this year, can play poorly and still escape with a win. That's what the Knicks did tonight, played poorly and still found a way to win.
Coming up next, the Knicks head on the road for a three game west coast trip, starting on Christmas Day against, former coach Mike D'Antoni, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and the Los Angeles Lakers. The game will begin at 3:00 pm on Tuesday and will be shown on ABC.
Merry Christmas!

(Sports Network) - The Washington Wizards dropped the first game of a four-
game road trip, but will try and get back on track Wednesday night in Phoenix
against the Suns.
The Wizards fell to the Charlotte Bobcats 119-114 on Monday and have stops
in Los Angeles against the Lakers and Oakland to meet the Warriors left on the
Washington blew a lead late in Charlotte and turned it over on four of five
possessions with 2:49 left in the game. The Bobcats converted all four miscues
into points and finished the game on a 13-3 run.
John Wall, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week, had 25 points
and five assists before he fouled out. Nene added 21 and Emeka Okafor and
Garrett Temple both scored 17. Martell Webster chipped in 12 points.
The Wizards are 5-26 on the road and that is the worst record in the NBA. Head
coach Randy Wittman has a theory as to why.
"We don't have a different mindset on the road, and you have too," Wittman
said. "You can't play the same way you do at home on the road. I have to find
a way to change our mindset. We have to come out with energy and effort
defensively to step on them right from the beginning. I give Charlotte credit,
they shot the ball well, played well, but I'm really disappointed in our
mindset. That's one of the reasons why we have five wins on the road. It's got
to change or you're just going to continue to play this way on the road."
The Suns returned home after an 0-3 road swing through the south and pummeled
the Los Angeles Lakers, 99-76 on Monday. The Suns were five ahead after three
quarters, then crushed the Lakers, who were without Kobe Bryant, 28-10 in the
final frame.
Bryant seemingly guaranteed a victory on Twitter, but the Suns didn't abide.
"It's the Lakers, it's the Suns, there is bad blood built up over the years,"
said Jared Dudley. "Our fans don't like them, and their fans don't like us. We
just feed off that energy. For a young team, that excites us and you could see
that we got up to play more tonight. You could tell in the lay-up line, guys
were sweating a little bit more."
Six Suns players scored in double figures, but no one managed more than 14,
which both Wesley Johnson and Luis Scola posted. Dudley, Goran Dragic, Kendall
Marshall and Michael Beasley were the other Phoenix players in double digits.
The Wizards hammered the Suns, 127-105, at home on Saturday, but have had
trouble in Phoenix of late. Washington has lost five straight in the desert
dating back to Dec. 22, 2006.
