THE feature-length documentary, The Summit, which tells the story of intrepid mountaineer Ger McDonnell's triumph and tragedy on K2 has won a prize at the Sundance International Film Festival, one of the world's best-known and most highly-regarded independent film festivals.
The Summit won the Editing Award: World Cinema Documentary and was announced at a ceremony in Park City, Utah.
The Summit, an Image Now Films and Pat Falvey Productions film and with funding from RTÉ among others, was edited by Ben Stark and directed by Nick Ryan.
"This is a great honour for Ben and I would like to thank the jury and the organisers of the Sundance Film Festival for this accolade," Nick Ryan of Image Now Films, said, following the presentation.
The Summit missed out on main award, the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize for Documentary, to A River Changes Course by director Kalyanee Mam.
The award comes just a week or so after Mr Ryan announced that the film had been picked up by Sundance Selects, a new theatrical and video-on-demand film label that provides a national platform in the US for independent films and documentaries.Meanwhile, distribution rights in Europe and Australia are still being negotiated but The Summit will screen at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival on February 24.
No date for a screening in Limerick has yet been agreed.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped bring this truly amazing story to the screen," said executive producer Darrell Kavanagh of Image Now Films.
"At the heart of this film is a human tragedy and I would particularly like to pay tribute to Ger McDonnell and the other climbers who lost their lives on K2."
he Summit is the story of the world's worst mountaineering disaster on K2, the world's second highest mountain, when Ger McDonnell and ten other climbers died in August 2008.

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
An Angels Camp woman who stole more than $25,000 from a Copperopolis homeowners association while employed as its office manager received 270 days in jail and five years of probation.
Heather Kathleen Van Natta, 38, pleaded no contest earlier this month to one felony count of grand theft on Aug. 20.
She also pleaded no contest to felony battery with serious bodily injury and two misdemeanor battery charges, one of which was dismissed, related to separate domestic violence incidents this summer, according to the Calaveras County District Attorney's Office.
Van Natta was sentenced in Calaveras County Superior Court on Sept. 14. For the battery charges, she received 120 days in jail and five years probation, which she will serve concurrent to her sentence for grand theft, the District Attorney's Office said.
She was first arrested in March following a three-month Calaveras County Sheriff's Department investigation of claims that she used her position as office manager of Copper Cove at Lake Tulloch Owners Association to overpay her salary and purchase personal items with the association's credit cards.
Sheriff's deputies began to investigate Van Natta after receiving a report from members of the association's board of directors who conducted an internal audit and discovered accounting discrepancies.
They turned their findings over to authorities, who said Van Natta had received extra paychecks and higher wages than was budgeted on several occasions from January to November 2011.
The total amount of unauthorized pay Van Natta pocketed exceeded $18,000. She also used the association's credit cards to purchase more than $6,400 worth of fuel and other goods from local businesses.
The District Attorney's Office said Van Natta was required to surrender at Calaveras County Jail the same day she was sentenced.
She remained in custody at the jail Friday. It was unclear when she would be eligible for release considering possible credit for good behavior, the District Attorney's Office said.
The saga was another bruise for the association, which has been stung by a series of controversies over the past decade.
The association gained national notoriety in 2003 when Thomas and Anita Radcliff had their home seized and resold for failing to pay $120 in annual dues. The couple was able to settle out of court and repurchase their home, appraised at $289,000, from an Alameda man who bought it for only $70,000 at a foreclosure auction.
The scandal prompted a law to be passed in 2005 preventing homeowners associations from foreclosing on a member's home when that member owes less than $1,800.
About two years later, homeowner Ken Gutman, who is handicapped, made a county-approved addition to his home in order to have street-level access to his bedroom. The association sent Gutman a stop-work order weeks after the construction had been completed and imposed fines at the rate of $10 a day without notifying him what he needed to do to make it right.
The matter was eventually settled out of court with Gutman paying a fine of around $15,000.

text: Yesterday I installed my 105 double crank on my bike after I received my new 5500 bottom bracket. I tightened the bottom bracket and cranks down fully and adjusted my derailleurs. The bike shifts great, except while in the largest chainring and smallest cog (13T) the chain slightly touches the next rear (14T)cog. The chain I have is a HG50 9 spd so that is not the problem. Just from eyeballing I can see my chain line is off. The crank chainrings are closer in to the largest cog and off center. What is the proper way or a safe way of fixing this??? Do I buy a 5500 68X118 for triples??? Slightly adjust the bottom bracket outward??? Or not tighten my crank arm all the way in??? Before I had this 105 setup I had an old Sugino crank that I just adjusted the bottom bracket outward and it worked fine. I'm just not sure if this is healthy for the bike. Thanks in advance for any help.

At 1-1, Madrid were favourites for the tie
At 2-1, I still think Madrid hold the edge in the tie, but Bayern are somehow still in it
CR7 was ineffective
Gomez had to score after fluffing those previous chances
Madrid should forget about this years cl and focuss on d league game.
Madrid should build a team as good barca.then they can be fit for the champion's league title.
all hope is not lost for real m,just a single goal is all,remember chelsea vs napoli,up real m, for live.
These two teams met 10 times in the league and nine times Bayer Munich won.

Like they say in the Spanish capital Bayern are La bestia negra
The Black Beast will tame Madrid and progress to a UCL final meeting with Barca

For sure, barca will get to final but who will they meet,bayarn or ……….
D era of madrid winning d ucl is long gone. Let await a new champion in a club named chelsea. Up blues 4ever.
i think bayern munich deserve it because they were dominating 2 half and i think manuel neuer should be man of the match because he had lots of good saves but it was a great game and bayern munich are still in it and could make it to UCL final lets go munich
I hope Real loses to bayern in the second leg. I wanna see Barceloba playing against bayern, that is gonna be a good match unlike anything else other games. Ronaldo showed he is not a big shot today.

Bayern franck ribery first goal not legal
Luis Gustavo offside

Quote "Bayern franck ribery first goal not legal
Luis Gustavo offside"
You thick twat he was not passing to him, he shot at the goal, Which means it was not offside.
Munich you cant count them out.
I tink r.madrid have a chance to win at their home for b.munich winning not mi nunthing to we the fan we will win munich at home 3-1
Madrid is going final with chelsea because we are going to bet b.munich at home b.munich is nunthing to madrid the reason why b.munich win r.madrid at their home was real have to play barca and game is not a easy to play on saturday n real force to win f.c.b or they draw

We wanna see cl final between real and barca.so best of luck for both team.
i think bayern will win, but i think madrid will give them a hard time BTW chelsea can beat barca!!
i think the second leg between real and bayern will be 2-2 0R 2-3.
i think thats player called fabio conterao is not deserving 2 play in real madrid
bayern is far better than napoli..how dare you compare them. real madrid gonna lose 4-2 on aggregate..you heard it here first. Barca gonna win 2-1 on aggregate
Fabio Coentrão is one of the best players in the world. When he was in Benfica, he was almost perfect, and now he's inproving even more. In 1 year time he will be at his best, and Mou makes him play everytime. I'm proud to say that half the Real team on the green comes from Portugal (CR7, PEPE, FABIO C, RICARDO CARVALHO, DI MARIA) and off rhe green you have a portuguese crowd too (MOU, RUI FARIA, SILVINO LOURO, JOSÉ MORAIS). Others have said that in case Real wins La Liga will put the papers no nationalize and be portuguese too (Florentino Pérez, Zinedine Zidane, Emilio Butragueño, Miguel Pardeza. Nowadays Portugal is like Prada, fashion and glamour of the present
bayern cannot be defeated by these dummed real madrid ,real will again of course losse and cry in front of bayern.
CHELSEA vs BAYERN MUNICH
when real and bavaria playing answer game???
I think the final game will be B.munich -vs-chelsea.
real madrid will win 2nd leg and it will be an el classico
go go go go madrid!!!!!!
Ronaldo looks hot and he is the best. muller and gomez are also good they all look hot

Sugar Supply Seen 'Under Pressure' by 2020: Suedzucker
Global sugar supply will be "under pressure" amid significant demand growth by 2020, which may push prices up further, according to Mannheim, Germany-based refiner Suedzucker AG.
World sugar demand is expected to grow 24 percent to 198 million metric tons by 2019-20 from 2008-09 because of population and wealth growth, Thomas Kirchberg, a Suedzucker management board member, said, citing the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization's data.
The big question is who will be able to deal with these additional demands, Kirchberg asked at a conference in Moscow today. Brazil, the world's largest producer, shipped about 26 million tons in 2010-11 and is close to its output potential, he said. Thailand, the number two exporter, may face weather risks and Africa needs infrastructure, agriculture and logistical investment, he said.
Growing sugar demand and the supply-side uncertainty could push prices higher by 2020, Kirchberg said after the conference without elaborating on figures.

Indians ground out win over Deer Lakes
TribLIVE Sports Videos
For the past few year, the Shady Side football team has relied on the running game to lead the way.
And this year is no different as the tried-and-true formula has resulted in a 2-0 start for coach Dave Havern's Indians after Friday's 20-7 win over Deer Lakes.
The Indians gained 280 yards on offense with 204 coming on the ground.
"That's what we like to do," Havern said. "And it's been successful. Of course, when you have a pair of quality backs like Jared Brevard and Dennis Briggs, it's a lot easier."
Brevard finished with 127 yards on 16 carries and a pair of touchdowns.
Mike Pohl added two field goals and a pair of extra points as the Indians built a 17-0 halftime lead.
The SSA defense held Deer Lakes to 134 total yards and they also picked off a pair of passes.
The Indians scored on their opening drive and never looked back.
"We wanted to get out in front early and we did that," Havern said. "The defense was outstanding for the second week in a row."
Havern said the Indians were able to overcome some injuries in the winning effort.
"We were sitting out six starting positions and some other guys who were a little banged up rose to the challenge, but it was really an ugly game," he said. "That being said, we were really proud of the effort given by our younger guys and some of our veteran players who were playing a bunch of different positions."
Havern said quarterback Matt Granato stepped up and did a "fine job of running the play-it-by-ear offense."
"We were basically drawing stuff in the dirt on both sides of the ball," Havern said. "We played a whole bunch of freshmen and sophomores in critical situations and, while it wasn't an artistic triumph, we came out with a win and most of our injured guys will be OK for the Valley game."
Meanwhile, Havern credited Josh Loper, Chris Bush, Dennis Briggs, Pat Loughran and Chuckie Calabrese for providing solid defensive play and providing leadership for the younger players.
Next up, the Indians will be taking on Valley, which is making its return to the Allegheny Conference.
The game will also serve as the dedication of the Michael J. Farrell Stadium.
"Hopefully we'll dedicate it with a well played game," Havern said.
Kick off is scheduled for 7:30 on Friday. After snapping a 22-game losing streak in the first week of the season, the Vikings were manhandled by Burrell, 41-6, last week.

The Deus Ex series, along with its cousin, Bioshock, is one of the most profound statements on transhumanism in any medium. The most recent version, Human Revolution, was released last fall, and it's still well worth a complete playthrough. Here's a bit of what I wrote in my review for Catholic News Service.
Human Revolution" deals with serious issues of ethics, politics, and society. Religious matters aren't really on the radar, though. Perhaps the writers were reluctant to engage the complex theological issues involved in transhumanism. Or perhaps, like so many in the field of science fiction, they are simply not theistic, believing in a future without God.
Some religious elements do creep in, perhaps unwittingly. Adam's name is not coincidental, and his relationship to the "JC" character of the original "Deus Ex" echoes Catholic understanding of Jesus as the New Adam. A pair of brothers named Isaias and Zachery feature as minor players, each acting in a somewhat prophetic role.
Read the whole thing. It has the usual weird syndication edit, but mostly it reads okay.
A slightly different version of my coverage, oriented more towards a gaming readership, can be found at my gaming blog, State of Play.

I moderated a panel yesterday at Personal Democracy Forum on deliberative democracy. Because I was the moderator, I didn't express my own unease with the emphasis on deliberation. Don't get me wrong: I like deliberative processes and wish there were more of them. I'm just not as bullish on their ability to resolve real differences.
But there are non-rational deliberative processes. For example, Morgan Spurlock's tv series, Thirty Days, puts together people who deeply disagree. But they learn more and better by living with one another for thirty days than they do through their rational discussions. If "deliberation" refers to a fair weighing, living with someone with whom you disagree is more likely to right the scales. The issues over which we struggle the most and that divide us the deepest cannot be bridge through careful, quiet discussion. Or, at least, the role of rational deliberation often is, in my opinion, over-stated. When rational discussion fails to change our minds, sympathy based on lived understanding can change our souls.

The SCI-Arc Gallery is open daily, 10am-6pm.
SCI-Arc EXHIBITION
03.20.07 - 05.01.07 | Pacific Design Center
AIA/LA: 2x8: Vert
Ben Toam
Systems of Accumulation, Graduate Thesis, Fall 2006
Harold Portillo and Sky Milner
Interface: Implementing the Logic of Alameda, 4A Fall 2006
The American Institute of Architects Los Angeles is pleased to announce the opening of 2x8: Vert, on March 29, 2007 at the Pacific Design Center (1st Floor, Blue Hallway) in West Hollywood. This year's exhibition will be held in conjunction with Westweek, the west coast's leading resource for interior design, where design professionals are invited to view the latest collections from the industry's top home furnishing manufacturers.
2x8 is an annual exhibition sponsored by the AIA/LA, showcasing exemplary student work from architecture and design institutions throughout California. Celebrating the unequalled diversity in pedagogical directions, each of the participating academic programs select two projects that exemplify its core vision. Through this important exhibition, we hope to forge an invaluable link between this emerging talent and the professional world, giving rise to significant collaborations and alliances vital to the improvement of our built environment.
Open to many interpretations, Vert encompasses the wide variety of processes and pedagogies the participating institutions offer. Its French translation is "green," which applies to a philosophy of sustainability; Vert is also the root word of Vertical, a direction suggesting up and down, conversely often used to support an orientation that is manifested side to side; meanwhile, its Latin translation simply denotes having an upright position or utilizing joints. Each of the institutions will be given the freedom to incorporate, define or manipulate the title phrase at their discretion, creating a remarkable range of ideas and imagery illustrated in the selected projects. In addition to these presentations, student-run forums at the exhibit space will extend a critical discourse on design and its impact in the local and global community.

When I first got engaged, planning my wedding = fun daydreaming for me. Now that I'm less than two months away from the big day, I need daydreams to keep my mind OFF of the stressful wedding details! But that's what I have our little Social Sound Off questions for, eh?
We asked: Which celeb's home would you love to design and why?
Here are some of our fave star-studded answers from Twitter…
"Andre 3000! Everything about him SCREAMS creativity, his music to his wardrobe! His residence has to reflect that! I would have so many different colors & textures to play around with! 'Contemporary bohemian bachelor pad'" -@4Relle
Ed. note: Love this answer, @4Relle! Think Andre would feel at home in this bachelor pad?
"Lil Wayne! Because his home needs to reflect the essence of his uniqueness and flair!" -@divaqueenkim
Ed. note: Another solid choice. Lil Wayne does have some impressive spaces, @divaqueenkim…
"1. the white house 2. ellen d……if she would let you….." -@feather54479
Ed. note: If the holidays are any indication, decorating the White House would be epic!
"George Clooney " -@pthemissionary
Ed. note: You can't go wrong with The Cloons.
Tell us which celeb home you'd like to deck out in the comments, then see which celeb style is closest to your own…

Beau Geste moored in Auckland's Viaduct Harbour prior to the Evolution Sails Sail Noumea 2012 race start on Saturday
After an intense night at sea, Karl Kwok's 80' maxi Beau Geste has made it safely to Norfolk Island the crew are assessing the damage. Everyone is safe and remained uninjured and there are now plans to get the crew to Sydney, Australia.
Beau Geste is at anchor off Kingston Jetty on the southern side of the island. It is unknown at this stage what will happen to the yacht.
Royal Akarana Yacht Club staff and race management team worked with Maritime New Zealand and the Rescue Coordination Centre throughout the night to ensure family and friends of the crew on Beau Geste were updated with their progress.
Several calls were made to the next of kin as soon as new information was available. These updates were also provided on the official website and Facebook page to ensure the message reached the wider audience.
Beau Geste's crew are all safe and now ashore on Norfolk Island
'There has been a lot of coverage of the race in New Zealand both on TV and Radio,' said RAYC Commodore Matthew Woodley. 'We are very relieved that this ended with only good news and with no injury or loss of life to crew.'
Royal Akarana Yacht Club has extended their thanks to Maritime New Zealand and the Rescue Coordination Centre for their professional management of the situation.
Doug France, skipper of Cotton Blossom 2, has also made the decision to withdrawn from the Evolution Sails Sail Noumea race and are now heading to Opua, New Zealand. France contacted Taupo Maritime Radio to advise them of severe sea sickness and not enough healthy crew to continue in the race. The tracker will update Cotton Blossom 2's progress until they have advised they have reached Opua safely.
Team Vodafone Sailing is approximately three hours from Noumea and the team at Cercle Nautique Caledonien is preparing for their arrival.
Team Vodafone Sailing will break the current multihull record of 4 days, 3 hours, 33 minutes and 22 seconds set by Rogntudjuu in 2002.
When Team Vodafone Sailing crosses the finish line they will be cleared by customs and then will enjoy some fantastic French hospitality.
Coverage of the race will continue until the last boat has crossed the finish line.

Patients who have undergone diagnostic testing elsewhere are commonly referred to Fox Chase's gastroenterologists for a second opinion.
- Curing Early Stage — Increasingly, gastroenterologists can cure existing early stage cancer using endoscopy only. We have extensive experience with endoscopic mucosal resection and other tissue ablation techniques that may limit the need for any radiation, surgery or chemotherapy treatments.
- Palliative Care — For patients who have cancer affecting their GI tract that cannot be completely removed, our team of GI specialists has vast experience with esophageal, biliary, pancreatic, small and large bowel stent placement, and enteral feeding tube placement to improve quality of life.

It's Valentine's Day. Have a Heart... To Eat
Superficially at least, eating beef heart would seem like more of a gross-out gag than a gastronomic pleasure. (Zombies and Andrew Zimmern notwithstanding.)

My Thrill in the Night
I walk outside and what do I see?
The everlasting night looking back at me.
I want to run, I want to sing, I want to dance,
I want to do everything.
The air is so sweet,
It draws me in.
I never want to leave,
But I know it must all come to an end.
My mother calls,
I must go in.
My thrill in the night,
Comes to an end.

Good store for fish and bird items
posted 6 years ago
This pet store has an island theme--Jimmy Buffett-esque. The store is a bit dark with their lighting, but does have some huge aquariums with a wonderful assortment of tropical and freshwater fish. There are 3 large parrots/macaws that provide chatter and entertainment. I don't have an aquarium or caged birds, but this store would be a good place to start when looking for specific fish and bird items.
This store has taken in barn cats/average domestic cats to be sold, and also has had Siamese breeds.
They carry a good variety of large and small dog breeds, but usually have the smaller dog breeds available. Their Pomeranians go fast! The one thing that I admire the owners for doing is encouraging community members to volunteer to help socialize and play with the puppies so that they get a break from their kennels and will make a better pet companion. They also have an arrangement with a nearby facility for developmentally disabled persons who come in with their assisted staff to play and interact with the puppies.
Naturally, I would prefer a person to first go to a shelter or rescue for a pet dog or cat before buying from a pet store. I do like to go in and see what puppies are available, and many people come in just to browse and look at the birds, fish and puppies.
The animals are well taken care of, and many of the staff develop close bonds with some of the animals for sale. The majority of the staff are very knowledgable and helpful.
Pros: Has some fantastic tropical and fresh water aquariums inside
Cons: Sells dogs from breeders

Obama's Syria Policy a Mess
8:01 AM, Jun 15, 2013 • By LEE SMITH
Thursday the White House announced that the American intelligence community assesses, with a level of high confidence, that the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against the opposition multiple times, in a limited fashion. Now that it is clear Assad has crossed the Obama red line by using chemical weapons, the question is, has this changed the president's "calculus," as he said it might? The media is reporting that it has. According to the press, Obama has decided to arm the opposition.
The White House, writes the New York Times, will "begin supplying the rebels for the first time with small arms and ammunition, according to American officials." USA Today concurs, quoting an unnamed official "knowledgeable about the plans" who "confirmed to USA TODAY that the new assistance would include arming the rebels." The Wall Street Journal explains that "Obama issued a "classified order directing the Central Intelligence Agency to coordinate arming the rebels in concert with its allies."
However, there are other administration officials who tell the press that the White House is not going to send weapons to the opposition. Josh Rogin at the Daily Beast writes that his source "says that lethal arms are not part of the new items Obama has now authorized." "The president," says this official, "has made a decision to provide the Syrian opposition with military items that can increase their effectiveness on the ground, but at this point it does not include things like guns and bullets."
So is the White House arming the rebels or not? There's been confusion since Thursday afternoon when Sen. John McCain said on the Senate floor that Obama "will announce that we will be assisting the Syrian rebels by providing them with weapons and other assistance. I applaud the president's decision." Shortly after, McCain retracted his remarks, explaining that "the president has not made the final decision on arming." Afterward, McCain's spokesman, Josh Rogin reported, said the senator had been told by reliable sources that Obama was planning to arm the rebels.
A White House conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon hardly clarified matters. Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes was asked several times whether the White House intended to arm the rebels, or if it was just going to provide more of the direct non-lethal military assistance (like vehicles and night-vision goggles) that was promised in April but still hasn't reached the Syrian Military Council. "I can't go through an inventory of the type of assistance that we're going to provide," said Rhodes. "But suffice it to say it's going to be substantively different from what we were providing certainly before our initial [chemical weapons] assessment in April." Responding to another request for details, Rhodes said, "I'm not going to be able to inventory the types of support that we're going to provide to the SMC." Later there was more of the same: "We're just not going to be able to lay out an inventory," said Rhodes, "of what exactly falls under the scope of that assistance other than to communicate that we have made that decision."
What we know then from the administration's public and on the record statements is this: the White House is going to do more than what it was doing before. But we don't know if that includes weapons or just more non-lethal aid and equipment because the White House's point man for strategic communications won't say—he can't inventory—what's being sent. All of the reporting asserting that the administration is sending arms was sourced not to Rhodes's public remarks but to officials who because they are unnamed have no reason to fear that their credibility is on the line should their information prove inaccurate or false.

The crowd cheered as Mr. James Voutsinas, an 80-year-old karate student, successfully demonstrated how to protect one's self with a cane. The special event took place Nov. 15 at the 45th anniversary of the Central New York Karate and Kobudo Schools in East Syracuse. It drew more than 60 people countrywide to test for varying degrees in black belt.
Voutsinas began learning karate when he was 62 years old -- it had been 13 years to the day that Saturday.
"[It] helps your mind, helps your health, helps your attitude," he said about the sport. "And most of all, if you start it, you can't give up. It's not easy. You gotta work at it every single day, seven days a week, and if you don't, then you don't pass."
As a young boy, "Mr. V" said he was constantly harassed by bullies, which led his father to seek out a friend of his who was a boxer. Voutsinas then learned how to defend himself.
"I grew up on the north side, and you had to stay alive when you lived down there," he said. "I got tired of being beaten up in school, having my change taken from my pocket so I couldn't have lunch.
"Now I look out and say it's not safe out there," he added. "You just don't know what's going to happen. People come right out of the dark and hit you. I decided that I would continue and study. It's been a long haul."
In 2007, Voutsinas and his wife were rear-ended in their car; both suffered back injuries.
"If it wasn't for karate, I probably wouldn't be walking," he said. "I'm not perfect but I'm walking. Karate kept me out of the hospital and an operation."

HALIFAX COUNTY, Va. — Of the many families affected by Wednesday night's tornado in Halifax County, one was hit especially hard.
News 7 first spoke with Connie Lucas right after the storm. Friday, she gave us a tour of her damaged home and shared a little bit about the family member she lost when the deadly winds came through.
"I was laying back here. This is my hideaway," said Lucas as she showed News 7's Tim Saunders the bed she was sleeping in when the tornado ripped in to her Liberty Road home.
"Looking at this house, I'm thankful to even be here," said Lucas.
A tree is stuck in the roof. One whole side of the house is missing. Lucas believes her location when the storm hit may have saved her life.
"If I was in my bedroom, I probably would have been cut by glass when one of my windows blew out," said Lucas.

Robert E. Jones '48 died on March 12, 2013. A resident of Hollister,
Robert Eugene Jones was born in San Jose, CA to Ralph and Rose Jones on February 17, 1924. As a third generation native Californian he grew up in San Jose, amidst the splendor of the vast flowering orchards and beauty of Santa Clara Valley.
In 1942 he eagerly volunteered in the United States Army. Under the command of General George S. Patton he advanced to the ranks of Sergeant, and was taken to the fighting lines in Austria, Germany and France. He was awarded the Silver Star for carrying one of his wounded commanding officers to safety in the midst of battle.
After three years of military service he returned to his studies at Santa Clara University, where in 1948 he proudly earned a degree in Structural Engineering. Following his engineering passion along with his team partner/architect, Norton Curtis, many notable buildings on the campus of SCU were erected: Swig, Dunne and McGlaughlin Halls; Graham Complex; Sullivan Engineering; and Benson Center.
As a successful self-employed structural engineer he enjoyed living in the Almaden Valley. Upon his retirement he moved to Hollister.
His pride and joy was his cattle ranch, located in Paicines, CA. During the 1800s this historic property was once a part of the booming New Idria Quicksilver Mine.
In 2009 after a near fatal accident on his ranch his health declined. Prior to his accident he led a very active life attending many Santa Clara University Alumni functions, Elks Club activities, traveling, and working on his cattle ranch. He peacefully passed away on March 12, 2013.
He is survived by his second wife, Doris I. Jones; his sister, Frances Jones Weller; his first wife, Jane Walters and their four children, Mark Jones, Patrick (Oh) Jones '74, Gayle (Steve) Newgren, and Cindy (Gary) Frazier; grandchildren, Greta Newgren (Jeff) Fitzgerald '02, Tyler Newgren, Colter (Szilvia) Frazier, Carly Frazier, and Chelsea Frazier.
Robert A. Camozzi '48 of Orangevale, Calif. passed away on March 31, 2011 at age 84. He was the husband of the late Alice Camozzi and father of Michael Camozzi, Paul Camozzi, Robert Camozzi Jr., Mark Camozzi, Ron Camozzi and David Camozzi. He was the grandfather of Matthew, Jeffrey, Jenerra, Brian, Kevin, Kyle. Brother of Anthony Camozzi. Preceded in death by his sister Joan Herman. Robert graduated from Santa Clara University and UCLA, and went on to be a teacher at Will Rogers Middle School for many years.
Marshall F. Moran '48, 86, passed away peacefully on June 23 after a period of declining health. He was ready to "go home" to his beloved wife, Jackie, who passed away in 2009. Marshall was born in Oakland to Sarah and Thomas Moran, who raised five rambunctious children. He attended Saint Ignatius High School where he excelled at competitive swimming and Santa Clara University. He interrupted his schooling to enlist in the Army where his bravery in the European theater earned him a Silver Star and a Purple Heart for a severe wound in combat. After the war, Marshall finished college and soon entered the growing family plumbing supply business Moran Supply, started by his father. On a blind date in 1947 arranged by his sister, Ginnie, he met the love of his life, Jacqueline Blanquie, on a hike along the Dipsey Trail to Stinson Beach. He and Jackie married and lived in Orinda for 61 years, building their first home there in 1948. They passed on to their seven children the best elements of their Irish and French heritages. The family calendar was anchored by the annual summer vacation to the beach at Aptos and a Thanksgiving celebration at Monterey Dunes (both involving 20 to 30 people in the later years as the family grew). Marshall's personal passions were food, tennis, golf, travel, the study of history and politics, and food. Jackie and he traveled much of the globe and relished in meeting fellow travelers while savoring the local cuisines and culture. He loved long swims in the ocean well beyond the waves at Aptos beach. Marshall valued education above all. He encouraged, cajoled, or did whatever it took to get his seven children through college, and often graduate degrees. He was an active participant in FACE, an Oakland charity that provides scholarships to local disadvantaged children so they can attend Catholic grammar schools. He also helped many people over the decades recover from addiction through the Alcoholics Anonymous program. Marshall will be dearly missed by his six children: Michele Culberson '71, Marshall Jr. '72 (Charlene), Christine, Therese '79 (Steve Schmid), Susan (Tom McKinnon) and Mark (Liz Fitzgerald); nine grandchildren; one great grandchild; and many extended family members. He was predeceased by his beloved Jackie and son, Brian.

William "Bill" Renna '49, June 19, 2014. He was a Bronco Hall of Fame football and baseball player. He was an outfielder for the New York Yankees, Philadelphia / Kansas City Athletics, and Boston Red Sox from 1953-1959.
Renna was born to Christina and William Renna in Hanford, Calif., on Oct. 14, 1924. He graduated from Hanford Union High School in 1942 and attended USF before joining the Marine Corps and serving in the South Pacific. Renna returned from military service to become a two-sport star at the University of Santa Clara, playing outfield for the baseball team, and both fullback and center on the football team. His play on the gridiron earned him a spot in the East-West game in 1949, drawing the attention of the Los Angeles Rams; however, he chose to stick with baseball, learning under the guidance of Santa Clara's legendary coach, Paddy Cottrell.
"Paddy Cottrell was a bird dog [scout] for the Yankees," Renna said in a 2008 interview. "He used to teach us everything that was taught in spring training by the Yankees."
Bill later was inducted into the Santa Clara University Hall of Fame. He met his future wife Leronne (Roni) Richards, a student nurse at St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco, as he was finishing his college career.
Cottrell tipped Yankees scout Joe Devine to his prized outfielder who signed Renna in 1949 to a contract for $5,000. His signing paid immediate dividends, as he hit an eye-opening .385 with 21 home runs for Twin Falls in the Pioneer League. His play impressed his Twin Falls manager Charlie Metro, who was a former major leaguer himself.
"He hit like heck up there, and they called him "Bull," because he was a big guy," Metro said in his autobiography Safe by a Mile. "He was a delight to have on the team."

Ralph Bargetto '49—a Soquel native and Italian boy affectionately nicknamed ""terromoto"" more than 80 years ago, meaning roughly, little earthquake—died July 12, 2011 of complications from Parkinson's disease. He is a father of 10 and key descendent of the well-regarded Bargetto Winery family. He was a man who worked hard at the family winery, seeing Prohibition first-hand, was impassioned by the study of language as a boy and at Santa Clara University, and was pulled away to serve in the 13th armored "Black Cat" division of the Army under Gen. George S. Patton. He came home to run a successful real estate operation and became a denizen of top county charity board rooms. And though he didn't want to leave the winery business in the 1950s, he didn't grouse when it got tough. So tough that his efforts selling 50-gallon tanks to Monterey County farms and Central Coast Italian and French restaurants—when most Americans didn't drink wine—forced him to go into sales of another sort, his son said. It was frustrating to this Italian American to go into restaurants in those days and see no wine on the tables, Tom Bargetto said. But Bargetto, who until his last days drank wine out of a simple glass without a stem, never had much time to think about what might be lacking. He did an incredible amount of giving back, friends and family said. "He was a very outgoing, very confident man who thrived on all this stuff," Tom Bargetto said. "I think that was taught to him and his brother by their dad, to be so capable ... This was a good man who lived very simply and on his own terms. He had a tremendous value system. He had a nice home and nice cars, but he lived modestly. He was a well-educated man of the earth, you could say." Bargetto died at his Soquel home, surrounded by his large, close-knit family. Bargetto's influence has been left not only at the family winery and "compound" on Main Street, but in real estate and Chamber of Commerce circles, at Dominican Hospital, Good Shepherd Catholic School, Goodwill Industries and Long Marine Lab—just a sample of the governing board leadership he was involved in until his early 70s. Many will undoubtedly miss the decades of Sunday barbecues and annual cardone celebrations the gregarious gardener, wine lover, entertainer and cook held. A cardone is an "ancient vegetable" similar to celery that Bargetto perhaps loved more than all the things he grew. And he could always find peace in the garden, and the subsequent celebrations always included Bargetto and others singing an old Northern Italian folk song. Among his volunteer work, Bargetto "had a tremendous love for Dominican Hospital," his son said, and the services provided by the nuns and others working for Catholic Healthcare West. He left part of his estate to Dominican Hospital Foundation. "Even though he was a conservative businessman, he saw that America gave his parents and good break and he was concerned others get that possibility, too," Tom Bargetto said. "A lot of that had to do with his faith, too; his Catholic faith. He was a great listener and a natural leader," he added. "People seek out confident and capable people and he never said 'no.' ... It wasn't always the easiest thing to be Ralph Bargetto's son. He expected a lot. He expected us to shake hands, look people in the eye and follow through on our promises. And he was not the type of father to go to our baseball games, but in the grand scheme of things, it worked out just fine." As his longtime Rotary buddy, Bob Rudolph, put it, Bargetto was exceptionally good to be around. "He was one of the nicest persons I have ever known in my 86 years," he said. "I had the misfortune of following him as president of Rotary, and it wasn't easy, I'll tell ya. I just got an email about it. I feel terrible; I'll miss him." Bargetto Winery was founded by Bargetto's uncle, Phillip, and his father, John (Giovanni) Bargetto. Both emigrated from Castelnuovo Don Bosco, a small town in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. The brothers moved from San Francisco in 1917, establishing the winery on the banks of Soquel Creek. Daily operations are now handled by Martin Bargetto, John Bargetto and Loretta Bargetto Mujal. The family established Bargetto Regan Estate Vineyards near Corralitos in 1992. Bargetto's twin sons, Peter and Paul, later founded Soquel Vineyards. Bargetto left the wine business in 1963 and helped found the Real Estate Center in 1967. It later expanded from seven agents to 85 agents. In 1990, Bargetto was elected president of the Board of Realtors. Though he suffered from dementia, Bargetto started talking about his wife of 60 years, Marguerite, the day before he died, his son said. She too died of Parkinson's disease, on Aug. 29, 2010. Bargetto is survived by 10 children; 27 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren and sister-in-law Beverly Bargetto. He had several close cousins in Italy as well. His brother, Lawrence Bargetto, died in 1982.
Philip Matthew de Bord '49 of Mountain Ranch died Sunday, April 3, 2011, in Placerville. He was 87. A native of Toledo, Ohio, Mr. de Bord was born June 25, 1923, and grew up in Canton, Ohio. A World War II veteran, he flew Navy torpedo bombers from the U.S.S. Kitkun Bay. He was a Naval reserve officer for 20 years. He graduated with a degree in economics from Santa Clara University, with post-graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley. He had a 28-year career with Metropolitan Life, retiring as a district office manager. He lived on the Monterey Peninsula, in the San Francisco Bay Area, and worked as an apricot rancher in Tracy. He retired in Mountain Ranch. He enjoyed his Newfoundland dogs, golf, tennis and extensive travel throughout the United States, Mexico and abroad. He was a past president of Rotary Club and member of the Tracy school board, and served on the grand jury in San Joaquin County. He is survived by children Deborah de Bord and Pamela (Rick) Kaefer of Placerville and Renée Fitzsimons of Los Altos; brother Thomas (Tess) de Bord of Manteca; three grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by brother Harold (Alice) de Bord of Ohio; and sisters Elizabeth Montgomery of Tracy, Suzanne Suarez of Texas and Florence James of Pasadena.

With Rick Santorum poised to pull off a victory in Minnesota early on, the Romney campaign had to choose between fight or flight.
They chose flight. And Mr. Santorum ended up winning the Minnesota caucuses Tuesday.
A day after sailing to victory in Florida, Mitt Romney made a single appearance in Minnesota. Then he canceled a scheduled appearance for later that week, leaving former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Ambassador John Bolton to rally voters in his stead. His advisers began downplaying expectations for Tuesday night's nonbinding contests.
At the time the campaign blamed the canceled Minnesota stop on the travel time. In reality it was a question of priorities.
With a vast war chest and an organization already in place, the Romney campaign could have made a more forceful push in the state, an adviser to the campaign said. But that would've pulled time and resources away from states like Colorado and Arizona – states that hold more weight in the general election.
Nearly every step Mr. Romney takes is with an eye toward the general election. The decision to abandon Minnesota was no different, though a loss there is sure to be painful for prominent supporters such as Mr. Pawlenty.
