DescriptionI hate to admit that Furen might have really found something. But to be sure I'll need to try his techniques on a new piece of armor. If you help me with the materials, <name>, then you can have the armor.
To make this armor, I need samples of burning blood and a burning rock.
The only place I know to get them is Duskwood. The Nightbane worgen based in the Roland's Doom mine have burning blood, and their leader Gutspill will have the rock.
May fortune grant you speed, <name>.

Things are already heating up in anticipation of the 2014 NFL Draft, and today one expert is making a bold prediction that Johnny Football will be selected as the top pick.
NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. predicts that the Houston Texans will select Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 overall pick, according to Yahoo! Sports. Kiper recently released his first "mock draft" for the 2014 NFL draft.
Many analysts believe that Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be the first quarterback taken in the draft, so Kiper's prediction will undoubtedly stir up some heated debates.
But things get even more interesting.
He predicts Central Florida's Blake Bortles to go in front of who many believe to be the best quarterback in the draft in Bridgewater. Kiper has Bortles slotted to go to the Cleveland Browns at No. 4, and Bridgewater falling all the way to No. 8 to the Minnesota Vikings, according to SBNation.
Kiper has been covering the NFL Draft for 30 years, and is well-respected by viewers and NFL personnel. His mock draft's change throughout the months leading up to the draft, so his prediction could change in the coming months.
There is no doubt that Manziel has showed talent on the field with his Houdini-esque escapability, and his ankle-breaking runs, but how will his skill set translate to the NFL? He is undersized at 6'0" tall and only 208 lbs (soaking wet with a backpack full of bricks), and many believe his style of play is not suited for today's NFL.
Who do you think should be the first quarterback selected? Feel free to post your thoughts or comments below.

Billions of years ago, Mars suffered from numerous big impacts, and the resulting backwash ultimately scarred the surface of Phobos, one of the Red Planet's two tiny moons.
On Sunday, at 5:17 p.m. GMT (12:17 p.m. EST), Europe's Mars Express orbiter successfully completed a daring low-pass of Mars' largest moon Phobos. Continue reading →
In a daredevil flyby, the European Mars Express satellite will buzz Phobos, the red planet's largest of two moons. But there's a catch -- this isn't a photo opportunity.
Apparently Mars' moon, Phobos, was formed from rocks blasted off the Martian surface in a catastrophic event.
A Zenit rocket blasted off from Kazakhstan on Tuesday with a Russian spacecraft to return samples from the Martian moon Phobos and a Chinese probe designed to spend a year studying Mars.

2000-06-03 Sven Ottke w pts 12 Tocker Pudwill, Europa Hall, Karlsruhe, Germany - IBF
2000-06-03 Sven Ottke w pts 12 Tocker Pudwill, Europa Hall, Karlsruhe, Germany - IBF. Referee: Rafaele Argiolis. Scorecards: 119-107, 118-107, 119-106. Although rounds the opening six rounds were relatively even it was more to do with the champion not working to his maximum ability rather than Pudwill (167) extending him. Pudwill had survived a badly cut scalp following an accidental clash of heads in the first session and had been shaken up by a left-right to the jaw in the fifth, but was still there in the seventh when being deducted a point for illegal use of the head. It was totally one-sided from thereon and Pudwill was forced to endure counts in the ninth and tenth after Ottke (166½) landed heavily with lefts and rights before making it to the final bell.

FROM: Joseph E. Connarton, Executive Director
RE: Follow up to PERAC Memorandum # 4/2013
DATE: January 15, 2013
On January 9, 2013, PERAC issued Memorandum #4/2013 to the Retirement Boards. This memorandum provides guidance and a worksheet for the Boards to use in calculating buybacks/make-ups, and cumulative interest for the calendar year 2013 using buyback interest.
The retirement boards are reminded that, pursuant to G.L. c. 32, § 3(8)(b), as amended by Section 9 of Chapter 176 of the Acts of 2011, depending upon a number of factors, the purchase of time pursuant to any part of Section 3 may have to be calculated using actuarial assumed interest. This change in the law will be reflected in a memorandum which PERAC will issue in March, just ahead of April 2, 2013, when all purchases of prior non-membership service will have to be made using actuarial assumed interest.
In the meantime, Memorandum #4/2013 should be read in conjunction with Memorandum #23/2012, which provides a detailed analysis of Service Purchases pursuant to G.L. c. 32, § 3 in the wake of Chapter 176 of the Acts of 2011.

On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society (1995)
by Dave Grossman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an exploration of the societal and psychological influences that can aid or hinder one human being to kill another, especially when one is close enough to see the actual death. Bombing or artillery fire are covered only peripherally but, they are easy to explain once you've read this book. Grossman was a serving soldier in the USA, and this gave him access to real professional soldiers and access to psychological sources for the intellectual part of the work. It certainly was an eye opener, and should be read by those engaged in the creation of adventure fiction. I also understand that Dr. Grossman now crusades against the proliferation of "Point and Shoot!" video games. He believes they are useful in desensitizing humans so as to make them easier to train to fatal violence.
It was interesting until he described video games as murder simulators, maybe about 10 pages into the book. I checked out after that, and really couldn't find the willpower to push myself much further. I skimmed a bit, but wasn't very impressed overall with what I'd read. Some of it felt like he was rehashing what he said in the previous paragraph(s).
It's really odd - I usually LOVE nonfiction. This one, I'm just not a fan.
I don't agree with some of what Grossman says--he seems for example not to have read the literature on suicide bombers, but his book convincingly describes the psychology of lethal violence: the innate abhorrence almost all humans have for killing one another, the methods used to train soldiers to kill and the causes of post-traumatic stress disorder. Grossman also offers in this context a persuasive critique of violence in film, television and video games. This is an essential book, one that is required reading at West Point and one I would make required reading for anyone who, like me, is working to create nonviolent alternatives.
The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society is a great subject with books far and few between. Perhaps it is because of the subject's rarity that this particular book falls short. Lacking in much evidence and reference, this seems to be an extremely biased book. Aside from the word "killology", Grossman does not contribute much new thought or experimentation. While the majority of what Grossman says may be true, it is difficult to stand behind without sited evidence or experiment.
This seems to be the definitive book on why soldiers do and don't kill in battle. My overall impression is that this is a weak book, and perhaps it's been generally accepted due to a lack of competition.
The author has a few points to make, and lays out his stall in the introduction where he asserts a causal link between media violence and violence in society and neatly poisons the well for anyone who claims otherwise:
"There are also people who claim that media violence does not cause violence in society, and we know which side of their bread is buttered"
The author only seems to think of the explanations that fit his own theory. So the fact that most new infantry recruits in WW2 didn't fire their weapon must be because of an inbuilt resistance to killing. Yes, maybe, but why not also consider:
a) They were too scared or confused to shoot;
b) They had been too much emphasis on ammunition conservation "don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes";
c) They had only been trained to shoot static bullseye targets at known distances.
A lot of the author's evidence comes from the study done by S.L.A. Marshall. But this study is now controversial, and it's said that Marshall made up a lot of his evidence.
Could do better.

No descriptions found.
Drawing on interviews, published personal accounts and academic studies, Grossman investigates the psychology of killing in combat. Stressing that human beings have a powerful, innate resistance to the taking of life, he examines the techniques developed by the military to overcome that aversion.… (more)

NeNe Leakes Trashes Star Jones on 'The Talk' (VIDEO)
"Star's not nice," came the quick reply. "I believe ... that anybody who has ever worked with her would side with me," Leakes said. "She's not a nice person. She's a witch ... with a 'b' in front."
How did the war begin? Leakes claims that when she first got to 'Celebrity Apprentice,' she went to dinner and lunch and double-dated with Jones ... because she had no preconceived notions about her. "I wanted to get to know her," Leakes said. But it became apparent, she said, that Jones was a back stagger. "And I called her on it, only because I'm loyal and she's not."
To be fair, we need to hear from Jones now. Let the games begin (or continue).

Alpha Lipoic Acid
While the body does produce alpha lipoic acid in small doses, it may not be enough to provide optimal health benefits - so supplementation is critical. Alpha lipoic acid also protects against free radical damage, making it a good choice for long-term health support. It also keeps antioxidants such as vitamins C and E active and functioning in the bloodstream.*

Synchronous Objects for "One Flat Thing"…
…reproduced by William Forsythe, is a project about visualizing choreographic (can I say geographic?) information in new ways. Could choreography and Dance be used to research about Movement, Space and Visualization? Can Cartography and other mapping artifacts be used to help choreographers' creativity and work?
Coproduced by The Forsythe Company with the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design and the Department of Dance at The Ohio State University. Synchronous Objects reveals the interlocking systems of organization in William Forsythe's ensemble dance One Flat Thing, reproduced through a series of objects that work in harmony to explore its choreographic structures and reimagine what else they might look like.

Atlases win the 2009 Rotterdam Design Prize
We are happy to know that this year's Rotterdam Design Prize has gone to the Studio Joost Grootens for their work in different atlases. They do really look good. Congratulations!
The judges unanimously described Grootens's work as of the moment and world class. They liked his attitude. 'Grootens attaches great importance to the clarity of the information. His design is clearly intended to serve the reader. For Grootens, designing is not a self-seeking activity, nor does it mean promulgating a particular vision. The result is at once brilliant and functional.'

Map cuts by Karen O'Leary
American artist Karen O'Leary reimagines the map as an exchange of negative and positive space. Deftly cutting maps of New York, Paris and London with razor precision, she leaves delicate webs of streets as land and water are cut away. Negative space demarcates land, while meandering grids of paper represents streets.
There is an interview with the artist here.

The small business manager can be expected to have knowledge of all aspects – internal and external – of the business.
Money, Banking, and Business Finance
The course begins with an examination of the financial system. Central to the financial system is the banking system, which accepts deposits from savers and in turn creates loans for borrowers. The borrowers fuel our economy as the financial capital supports real investment in support of business activity. Students in this course will examine the valuation of two important types of financial securities - bonds and stocks. These securities are long-term in nature with the issuing party selling the securities to raise financial capital. Students will study the different types of financial statement data and the related analysis that guides business managers.
The Dimensions of Global Business
This course involves the study of international commerce, trade and worldwide cultural and economic influences. Students will delve into the many facets of the international business environment. The concepts pursued in the course will be the foundation for understanding business in the global marketplace. Course concepts will cover global strategy, comparative country selection, operations, finance, trade, marketing, supply chain management and new global challenges.
Introduction to Business Statistical Analysis
This undergraduate level course addresses statistical techniques that may be useful for analyzing quantitative data in business practice. Students will also become familiar with setting up and using technology tools to conduct statistical analysis. Topics include Descriptive Statistics, one and two sample Hypothesis Testing, Probability, Correlation and Regression, and Nonparametric Techniques.
Course Code
Course Description
Introduction to Criminal Justice
Laws regulate the actions of all people residing in the nation as well as the actions of governmental bodies and organizations. The legislature writes the laws. The executive branch enforces laws. The judiciary branch adjudicates guilt or innocence. The criminal justice system then provides the structure for carrying out this process. This undergraduate level course provides students the opportunity to examine the American criminal justice structure and the functions and processes that impact communities and society.
Introduction to Law Enforcement
Students in this course will examine the history of law enforcement and distinguish between historical and contemporary issues of criminal justice. Students will also explore the management issues involved in policing as well as challenges to the profession.
This course will examine the nature and extent of crime, as well as the causes and prevention of criminality. Particular attention will be given to theories and typologies.
In this undergraduate course, students will examine the nature and extent of criminal behavior and correctional systems, corrections and penology, and criminal rehabilitation institutions. This course will not only examine prison systems, but jail operations and management as well. Other topics include community corrections, work release and home detention, pre-trial and bail services, probation, parole, and pardons and reprieves. Particular attention will be given to theories and typologies.
Law Enforcement and the Community
This course examines the development and support of Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) strategies, and how this policing style responds to the needs and demands of citizens.
Research Methods for Criminal Justice
Students in this course will examine the sources and resources of classic and contemporary research in the criminal justice field. The ability to develop, conduct and analyze scientific research within the criminal justice specialization is critical to developing new techniques or validating old practices.
Introduction to Criminal Law
This introductory course analyzes the fundamental principles and doctrines that underline criminal law in general rather than rules for a specific state. The student will become acquainted with constitutional and case law precedents and elements of criminal liability for various crimes including acts against persons and property. Criminal law's application to vice crimes and terrorism are also addressed.
Criminal Court Process
This course offers a comprehensive analysis of the operation of the courts through an exploration of theory and actual operation. The focus is on the rules of operation and the informal methods of accomplishing institutional goals, the formal and informal working relationships between various parties in the system, and the political context in which criminal justice is dispensed. The rules and rationale behind criminal law is a major topic throughout the course.
Law Enforcement and Management
This course will examine law enforcement management and supervisors and their interrelationships with members of their organizations and the community at large. Particular attention will be paid to the best known methods and practices of police leadership and management.
Introduction to Corporate/Private Security
This introductory course is designed to expose students to emerging issues in the field of private security. A growing industry with employees now numbering in the millions, private security firms work hand in hand with public law enforcement strengthening the overall security posture of firms, schools, private homes etc. Beginning with a discussion addressing the differences between public and private police, classes will later analyze security needs of future business and private establishments in detail. Potential threats emanate from tapped phones, bugged offices, stolen papers, covert recording, undercover employees, phony repair people, fax intercepts and the list goes on. The substance of the course will include practical theoretical elements affecting the private/corporate security field. The threat of industrial espionage is not only a domestic threat; it is often a foreign threat as well. The course will garner a better understanding of corporate security, its principles, legal authority and its effect on society in general.

I LOVE taking my dogs to the dog park, but HATE when we are the way home and all their hair and drool get all over my clean back seat/truck area of my car! This cargo liner fit perfect and made going to the dog park more enjoyable for me... Also a added bonus, it looks very sleek! Was only intentionally buying it to prevent a mess...but I actually like how it looks with the cargo Matt vs without! Totally recommend...specially for dog owners!

So easy to finger comb fits great. Can see why it is a best seller. I got the walnut syrup color med brown with golden highlights good color.
i love the original style of the Allure however it's one of the very few styles by JR left available in the awesome color 102S8. i really wish they'd make more styles available in this color A LOT of people like the platinum cool blonde with the dark roots. *hint hint*
The Perfect Wig...
This wig has been perfect. The color the fit and they last a long time. I can go from one wig to another in this same style and no one knows because the color is consistent. I have tried to change but always come back to this one. Its perfect......
Jon Renau Allure
I like the Allure wig but the first and second ones I ordered are different. The first one was longer and I don't know why the second one was so much shorter especially since they are not hand tied. For about 8 years I wore Jon Renau Summer and I loved until the dimensions changed and I can't wear any more. You can't even fix it where it looks good. I am sorry about that but I do like the Allure but would love it if I did not have to guess whether It was right.
Thank you!
The allure is a perfect wig. They last a long time and feel and look great!
The Allure is short sassy and perfect!

The report is based upon the position of the heavens for the time and place of birth. The analysis is based upon principles of astrology conservatively applied in a consistent way.
These reports are a service to help you understand what your horoscope means. They are written by third-party authors and give good quality analysis. You can read about your potential for success and your lines of character, about timing and passing influences. They provide basic answers and indications, and I recommend you read these reports before any personal consultation. However, they are limited in explaining your complex and multi-level circumstances and character development and evolution. They are limited in the explanation of how your chart unfolds for you over your lifetime. Here is where a live astrologer with knowledge can generate the additional calculations and analyze it for you. A good astrologer for you might be one who can tell you what you need to know when you need to know it, in a way that you can understand.

Radiotherapy is associated with significant improvement in local and regional control in Merkel cell carcinoma

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare tumour of skin. This study is a retrospective audit of patients with MCC from St Vincent's and Mater Hospital, Sydney, Australia. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of radiotherapy (RT) on the local and regional control of MCC lesions and survival of patients with MCC.
The data bases in anatomical pathology, RT and surgery. We searched for patients having a diagnosis of MCC between 1996 and 2007. Patient, tumour and treatment characteristics were collected and analysed. Univariate survival analysis of categorical variables was conducted with the Kaplan-Meier method together with the Log-Rank test for statistical significance. Continuous variables were assessed using the Cox regression method. Multivariate analysis was performed for significant univariate results.
Sixty seven patients were found. Sixty two who were stage I-III and were treated with radical intent were analysed. 68% were male. The median age was 74 years. Forty-two cases (68%) were stage I or II, and 20 cases (32%) were stage III. For the subset of 42 stage I and II patients, those that had RT to their primary site had a 2-year local recurrence free survival of 89% compared with 36% for patients not receiving RT (p<0.001). The cumulative 2-year regional recurrence free survival for patients having adjuvant regional RT was 84% compared with 43% for patients not receiving this treatment (p<0.001). Immune status at initial surgery was a significant predictor for OS and MCCSS. In a multivariate analysis combining macroscopic size (mm) and immune status at initial surgery, only immune status remained a significant predictor of overall survival (HR=2.096, 95% CI: 1.002-4.385, p=0.049).
RT is associated with significant improvement in local and regional control in Merkel cell carcinoma. Immunosuppression is an important factor in overall survival.

He took the cast off himself. I have no idea why. I think the sequence of events is as follows:
He falls and breaks his arm.
He`s taken to hospital, where he is treated straight away. X-rays, setting, cast, the usual.
He`s told to return after a set time for the healing of the injury to be assessed.
On the assessment, it`s found that the break is not healing properly (this may have been his fault too) and it should be pinned. He is advised to get into better shape, because he`s not fit to be operated on.
He takes the cast off (obviously he shouldn`t have done).
In pre-op testing, he is found to be too unfit to be operated on. So it`s delayed.
The last step is repeated.
It`s his choice to be too unfit to be operated on - he smokes a lot. His blood pressure is too

Leftovers From Thursday Night
I got a lot of postgame info last night. Most of it I used in Postgame Thoughts, yet some spilled over into today.
Here are some leftovers from the Devils' 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
For whatever reason, the arena seemed exceedingly quiet until Travis Zajac's second-period goal.
Maybe the Pens were playing a perfect road game. Maybe the 16,122 were tense and sad about the Devils' final home game. But whatever the reason, the crowd was very quiet.
Even as the Devils mounted their comeback it seemed quiet. I guess that's what happens when you're unaccustomed to missing the postseason.
Still, Devils coach Peter DeBoer credited the team's supporters.
"Fans have been amazing," DeBoer said. "I can't thank them enough. I really feel badly that we're not giving them playoff hockey this year."
Pittsburgh's much-heralded trade-deadline additions have been outstanding.
Jarome Iginla has nine points in 12 games. Jussi Jokinen scored on Thursday– his fifth goal in nine games as a Penguin– and Brenden Morrow's assist last night gave him 12 points in 14 games.
I nearly tweeted during the second period Thursday that if the Penguins were going to play defense like they had been, and Sidney Crosby and James Neal return, no one would beat them.
Then Pittsburgh gagged a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2.
Pittsburgh has an embarrassment of riches offensively, and the Pens are pretty strong on 'D' as well. Marc-Andre Fleury is a Stanley Cup champion. Still, there's something lingering I don't like about this team.
Patrik Elias told reporters last night "They're good at making plays, and they turn the puck over quite a bit to. You can get some opportunities. "
Teams like that don't typically win the Stanley Cup these days.
After falling behind 2-0, against the east's best team, the Devils could've packed up the tent but didn't.
"We played well against them all year," Devils goalie Johan Hedberg said. "I can't say that we've had very many off-nights the whole season."
The first two periods seemed like a microcosm of the Devils' season: outplay and outshoot the competition but trail.
"We've outplayed teams, we've outshot teams, we've done everything right," Devils forward David Clarkson said, "and we've had bounces go against us."
Still, the Devils caught some breaks. The puck appeared to hop on Evgeni Malkin as he was all alone in front of Hedberg. That brief miscue allowed Ryan Carter to backcheck and deflect Malkin's shot into the protective netting over the glass.
On Ilya Kovalchuk's third-period game-winning goal, the Devils' winger attempted a pass to Andrei Loktionov, which found Brandon's Sutter's stick instead. Pittsburgh's forward redirected the pass into an open net, putting the Devils ahead.

My Lady Scandalous: The Amazing Life and Outrageous Times of Grace Dalrymple Elliott, Royal Courtesan
Simon & Schuster, Aug 23, 2005 - History - 432 pages
A wicked turnabout on Jane Austen's oft-quoted adage -- "a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" -- is "My Lady Scandalous, " a richly raucous history that traverses the notoriously licentious British Regency era in the company of its most celebrated courtesan.
Following a simple Edinburgh girlhood, Grace Dalrymple came of age in the sin city of London, where wealthy men ruled society and women had everything to lose, starting with their reputations. As an impressionable bride of seventeen who married a man more than twice her age, Grace's remarkable beauty (likened by journalists to "a May morning") soon attracted the attentions of other men. A disastrous liaison with a consummate rake not only branded Grace as a demi-rep -- a woman with half a reputation -- but the scandal provoked Dr. John Eliot, her philandering husband, to pursue a divorce.
Grace became mistress of the most infamous peer in England, George James, Lord Cholmondeley, whose "secret perfections" were reputed to inspire "female enthusiasm." Cholmondeley commemorated the relationship by commissioning two works from eminent portraitist Thomas Gainsborough, first in 1778 and later in 1782, the same year Grace gave birth to a daughter, Georgiana (who may, in fact, have been the child of the Prince of Wales). Had Grace been an aristocrat, she and Cholmondeley might have had a future together, but it was not to be.
The tabloids broke the news: "Miss Dalrymple has embarked for France, and it is said parted with her noble gallant." Grace was soon to find a new protector in that nation's richest man, Philippe, Duc d'Orleans. Though Grace was ensconced as "one of the most brilliant and popular among the fashionable 'impures, '''" her liaison with the duke turned perilous when Orleans fell to the Revolution's guillotine, just as she narrowly escaped with her life.
"People die, but love may not," declares author Jo Manning of her subject's romantic and historic misadventures. A connoisseur of the times, Manning ably demonstrates -- through contemporary newspapers, magazines, prints, and portraits as well as Grace's posthumously published journal -- how life in George III's England and Marie Antoinette's France can seem strangely familiar, especially when history turns to affairs of the heart.

RCHS tennis at top of conference
From River City High School
A pair of hard-fought wins against their closest competitors has the River City High School Tennis Team alone at the top of the Sierra Valley Conference (SVC) standings. The Raiders defeated Vista del Lago 6 to 3 and Cosumnes Oaks 7 to 2 to improve to 6-0 in the SVC and 12-0 overall in 2013.
In mixed doubles, Lina Vang and Muradan Chhay overcame a first set loss to win 6-7(4),6-2,(10-7). The squads split the boys doubles matches as RC's Michael Lee and Matthew Tagupa lost 4-6,7-6(5),(5-10) at #1 while Amran Khan and Akshay Prabhakar won 1-6,6-3,(10-8) at #2.
With RC up 4 to 3 overall, it came down to two marathon girls singles matches and both Cindy Oseguera and Lily He battled for third-set Raider victories. Oseguera won 6-3,4-6,7-6(4) at #1 and He won 7-5,4-6,6-3 at #2.
Two days later, River City welcomed Cosumnes Oaks to West Sacramento and emerged with another win. Oseguera and He breezed through their girls singles matches this time, dropping only four games combined. And while the Raiders' boys singles players struggled again, the hosts swept all five doubles contests. In girls doubles, Yang and Bola won 6-1,6-3 at #1 and Melido and Quenga were perfect, 6-0,6-0 at #2. Vang and Chhay triumphed 6-1,6-3 in mixed. The day's closest contests resulted in wins for Lee and Tagupa 5-7,6-2,(10-3) at #1 boys doubles and for Khan and Prabhakar 6-3,5-7,(12-10) at #2.
RC now has a break from SVC competition but has tough matches against Marysville of the Golden Empire League and Placer of the Pioneer Valley League scheduled for this week. The next SVC match for the Raiders will be at Union Mine on Tuesday, April 2nd.

Breweries fermenting in West Sac: two mini-breweries to join Rubicon here
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
After going many decades without a local brewery in West Sacramento, 2013 looks like a good year for beer:
Sacramento's Rubicon Brewery continues to assemble its new production facility near Ikea. It will start producing styles perhaps including its "Monkey Knife Fight Pale Ale" sometime this summer, reports majority owner Glynn Phillips.
And at least two more craft brewers plan to start on a smaller scale, artfully combining water, malted grain, hops and yeast in smaller breweries in the city's Industrial Boulevard area.
On tap for one of those locations is Jackrabbit Brewing Co., courtesy of Ed Esten and partners. Edsten has some experience with microbrews.
"I had a small brewery back in 2000-2001 in Woodland," he said. "The other (partners) are all avid homebrewers and beer aficionados. We're hoping and planning to open in mid-summer. We're all bringing our skills."
Edsten's Woodland operation was called Edsten Brewing Company.
The new brewery will be a bit bigger, with "five barrel" capacity (about 155 gallons at a time).
"We intend to focus on Belgian, British and German styles. We plan to be a brewery only, without any beer served on premises."
Partly for that reason, he asked to keep the exact location confidential for the moment.
Elsewhere in the same neighborhood, though, is the new "Bike Dog" brewery, already with an avid following on Facebook and with plans to have a tasting room as well as on-site brewery.
Co-owner A.J. Tendick met with the News-Ledger recently at Bike Dog's space at 2534 Industrial Boulevard, near Stone Blvd. The warehouse-like unit was still largely empty and unfinished. Blue tape marked the planned locations of the cooler (to hold kegs), brewing equipment and other gear.
"By state and local statute, a brewery is allowed to sell their own brew directly, so we plan to have a tasting room up front, with a small production facility in back." said Tendick, standing next to a "temporary" plywood bar. He's a homebrewer who has dabbled in helping out some acquaintances in the industry.
"One of the other partners and I have been brewing together for about five years, and he was brewing for years beyond that," he said.
"We're sort of in this newer wave of breweries. . . that have started calling themselves 'nanobrewers.' We're going to be at the small end of that, with six kegs, or three barrels or about 90 gallons (of capacity)," said Tendick.
He expects Bike Dog to emphasize kegs rather than bottles.
"On a scale this small, we won't have any trouble selling a few kegs. The craft beer scene is getting pretty good in Sacramento. If the brewer is any good, the best beer is local beer, because it doesn't always travel well. One of the other things we can do here is sell beer to go in a half-gallon 'growler.'"
There are four partners, who know each other through their workplace, a regional government agency. Pete Atwood will probably be the primary brewer, although others will help, said Tendick.
"At this kind of scale, we all are assuming we're going to keep our day jobs for many a year," he added.
Some of the funding is coming from "crowd sourcing":
"We're funded well to get open and to do the bare minimum of a tasting room, but we really would like to make it a much nicer space, and we'd like to do that without waiting for beer sales to pay for it."
So they've created a "Founders Union" to bring in small investments.
"You get some free beer on Fridays, and some schwag, and at higher levels you get your name on one of the seats that will eventually be here."
What kind of beer will they brew?
"Pete and I are kind of unrepentant 'hop heads,'" answered Tendick, referring to some purposely aggressive brews now in fashion. "We're a fan of West Coast IPAs (India Pale Ales) and variations of that. It's definitely the fastest-growing style and that bodes well for us. Pete's a big fan of the Belgians, English beer, Irish stouts, that kind of thing. We're going to plan to open with two, to keep it simple and get our feet underneath us."
Tendick said Bike Dog chose West Sacramento partly because some properties are zoned by the city specifically to be friendly to breweries.
Where did the name "Bike Dog" come from?
"One of our partners is kind of an outlier, but the rest of us own dogs and ride bikes – before I had a baby, I rode fanatically. If you look around, a lot of beer names have something to do with bikes or something to do with dogs. We just looked at each other and said 'let's put them together! Bike Dog!'"

Typing 'Rivercats' may cost you a buck
With baseball season getting underway, we just received this missive from the front office of the Sacramento River Cats here in West Sacramento. No doubt, there's a degree of "tongue in cheek" going on here. The press release follows:
"You've been warned: the moniker 'River Cats' is comprised of two words, with a capital 'R' and a capital 'C.' Effective immediately, all members of the local and national media, River Cats corporate partners, full- or part-time River Cats staff, and season, flex, and mini-plan ticket holders will be fined $1 for spelling 'River Cats' incorrectly.
"All money collected will go to the River Cats Foundation, which has contributed more than $1.5 million in cash and $16.2 million in in-kind donations to the greater Sacramento community since 2000.
"The Sacramento River Cats franchise is one of the most well-known teams in professional baseball, in spite of the relative obscurity of river cats themselves (apologies to Dinger). However, even after 11 division championships, four PCL championships, and two Triple-A National Championships, the name is consistently misrepresented at the local and national level.
"For clarification, the following are incorrect iterations of the name 'River Cats,' and therefore subject to the $1 fine:
— Rivercats
— RiverCats
— rivercats
— river cats
"Any questions or complaints regarding this new policy can be directed to the River Cats media relations department."

With its back to the wall, port tries a new business plan
Local leaders say turnaround hasn't come & it's time to change business model
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
With the "B-word" – bankruptcy – returning to conversations about the Port of West Sacramento in recent months, the port's governing board last Wednesday adopted a business plan that calls for a major change in strategy.
"We're proposing that the port shift to a different focus – that would be a 'landlord' basis," West Sacramento City Manager Martin Tuttle told the port's governing commission. The commission then listened to a presentation from city staffer Aaron Laurel detailing a 22-point action plan that called for reducing overhead and maximizing income from the port's landholdings.
Staffers hope the new plan will stop the bleeding. The port has shown annual deficits of about $821,000 to $1.48 million (33 percent to 43 percent of revenue) during the past six years, often backfilled by one-time land sales and by support from the now-disbanded city redevelopment agency.
"There's a tremendous financial risk to the city right now, given the port's financial situation," said Laurel, an economic development manager for the city.
West Sacramento took over majority control of the port in 2006 – the last time the facility faced bankruptcy fears. The half-century old port was originally created by a governing district consisting of all of Sacramento County plus eastern Yolo County, with most of the governing board members appointed by the City and County of Sacramento. It was called the "Port of Sacramento." With the port in financial trouble and a lack of regional will and resources to fix the problem, Sacramento agreed to divest most of its interest, and it then became the "Port of West Sacramento."
Laurel told the port commission Wednesday that, despite a number of promising business ventures, the facility's cargo still lacks diversity (rice shipping is the mainstay) and revenues are still short.
Fixing the problem starts with cutting costs.
"The number-one recommendation in this category is to implement administrative cost reductions," said Laurel, "and to move staff currently at the port over to the public works department. There is an impact to the City."
Laurel said the plan would move the duties and costs of some port personnel to the city, and make other changes saving around $600,000 per year.
Another major part of the plan is to stop directly operating the port's terminals – instead leasing the North Terminal facility to a cargo handler, and exchanging the vagaries of cargo revenue for the stability of a rent check from the new tenant. Staff hope to find a new terminal tenant within the next few months, preserving the port's role as a rice shipper in the process. Rice handling brings in about $2 million annually.
The strategy also calls for maximizing the potential of other property, including the 270-acre Seaway project in Southport. This is "arguably the Port's most valuable and promising long-term asset," said the city staff report. The port will need to work with city government to find ways to upgrade infrastructure at Seaway and other port properties in order to ready it for development, the report added.
The port should also explore marketing some of its unused Delta properties, including Prospect Island and Decker Island, as "habitat mitigation" projects for developers.
Listening to the business plan's bullet points were port commission members Bill Kristoff, Oscar Villegas and Mark Johannessen (all West Sacramento city council members) along with Mayor Christopher Cabaldon and the commission's chairman, Yolo County Supervisor Mike McGowan.
Their response was earnest and supportive.
Johannessen noted that the plan calls for continuing to find money to deepen the port's shipping canal to allow larger ships and heavier loads.
"We're at 30 feet, and 35 feet is where about 80 percent of the world's fleet is," he said. "It's going to take a sustained effort to do that (deepening)."
Kristoff seconded an effort to diversify cargo, noting that "I know we've said it before – but it's something that can really happen at the port."
He also approved of the plan to keep working on creating a "marine highway," connecting this port to other regional ports using containers and barges on the waterways.
The status quo hasn't been good enough, noted Villegas, who was also supportive of the new strategy.
"This organization – our city, our port – it just doesn't work," he said. "We've given it our best shot, and it's clear it doesn't work."
Referring to the reorganization around 2006, Cabaldon echoed that point.
"This is extraordinarily serious," said the mayor. "All of us were, one way or another, involved the last time we had a set of recommendations. . . which didn't happen. We failed miserably."
"We are at a point where if we don't have an option that will work for sure, we are facing the option of closing," he said.
Cabaldon said that, with or without federal funding, it was "necessary for the long-term certainty of the port" that it find a way to deepen the canal. He urged the board to stiffen the recommendation in the new plan both to find a way to pay for the channel work and to make the "marine highway" real.
Cabaldon also asked staff to see if the former partners in the port – the city and county of Sacramento – would be willing to untie the port's hands some more by dropping the agreement they negotiated when they gave up control. The agreement includes a number of inconvenient provisions, reported Laurel. It also reserved the right for Sacramento to share in certain newly-generated revenues if they were to occur.
The rest of the commission agreed.
Chairman McGowan noted one other complaint, in an apparent reference to the waiting list new members face when trying to get into the Lake Washington Outboard Club, which leases land at the port.
"Since we're no longer a regional facility and we're a local facility, I'd like to revisit why we have non-district residents who are members of the boat club," said McGowan. "I have some 'homeboys' who can't get in because of somebody from Carmichael."
The West Sacramento Chamber of Commerce submitted a letter of support for the new port business plan. A representative from the local longshoremen's and warehouseman's union expressed concern about preserving union rights as port property was repackaged for lease to a private operator, but did not otherwise oppose it. (Several local unions did fight the transition from regional control of the port to local control around seven years ago.)
The port commission approved the new business plan – with a few modifications – by unanimous vote.
"Hopefully, it's the last time we have to do a plan like this for many years," commented McGowan.

'You have the right to an attorney…'
By Tracie Olson
Yolo County Public Defender
Born in 1910, Clarence Earl Gideon was a homeless drifter who spent most of his life in and out of trouble. In 1961, a pool room in Florida was burglarized. A single eyewitness testified that he saw the burglar leave the pool room carrying a wine bottle and money, and further testified that the man he saw was Mr. Gideon. No other evidence tied Mr. Gideon to the crime.
In court, Mr. Gideon proclaimed his innocence and asked the judge to appoint him counsel, as he could not afford to hire his own. The judge denied his request, telling Mr. Gideon that the law only allowed the court to appoint counsel to those facing a capital offense. Ultimately, the jury convicted Mr. Gideon and he was sentenced to five years in state prison.
Undeterred, Mr. Gideon petitioned the Florida Supreme Court and eventually the United States Supreme Court, asking that his conviction be reversed because he had been unconstitutionally denied the right to be represented by counsel at trial. On March 18, 1963, the high Court agreed, issuing its landmark decision in the case of Gideon v. Wainwright. The United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that state courts are required to provide legal counsel to defendants who are unable to afford their own attorneys. The Court held that a fundamental and essential prerequisite to a fair criminal justice system is the right to be defended by competent and effective lawyers.
The Court stated, "… reason and reflection require us to recognize that in our adversary system of criminal justice, any person haled into court, who is too poor to hire an attorney, cannot be assured a fair trial unless counsel is provided for him. This seems to us to be an obvious truth."
At his retrial, Mr. Gideon was represented by defense counsel. He was acquitted in less than an hour by a jury of his peers. After his release, he reportedly stayed out of trouble.
Since Gideon v. Wainwright was decided, the promise of equal access to effective assistance of counsel is alive and well in Yolo County. While other parts of the country, traditionally the Southern states and now more Northeastern jurisdictions, admittedly have extreme challenges which affect their ability to provide competent legal representation to defendants, California has largely managed to steer clear of the worst of these problems.
You will rarely hear a public defender's office say that it has all the money it needs, and most are not funded on par with the same county's district attorney's office. However, as the Chief Public Defender of Yolo County, I am extremely proud of the legal representation my office provides to indigent defendants, and I am proud of the role we play in the criminal justice system.
We are not only full and active partners in implementing system changes necessitated by criminal justice realignment, but we collaborate with partners to optimize outcomes and to minimize collateral consequences for our clients. First and foremost however, we are litigators, whose role it is to insist that law enforcement operate within the scope of their authority and that evidence is tested to the fullest extent of the law.
Every public defender has been asked at least once, in some fashion or another, "How do you sleep at night doing what you do?" This question is typically asked by the person who can't fathom actually needing a public defender for himself, a family member, or a friend. However, when something goes wrong in one of their lives, we are the first ones they call – and it's only then that they truly understand.
Happy 50th Anniversary, Mr. Gideon. And thank you for not giving up.
