Schools chief took $2,500 in parking lot
Transaction in the parking lot of a South Bay steakhouse under federal scrutiny
The cash was handed over in the front seat of the superintendent's Mercedes-Benz, a black sedan parked outside a South Bay steakhouse in the weeks before the 2010 election.
By his own account in a sworn deposition, San Ysidro schools Superintendent Manuel Paul took the money, about $2,500, from a local builder who was on the hunt for a seven- or eight-figure construction contract.
Paul maintains the money was a campaign contribution and says he drove straight to a Tijuana print shop to buy signs to help a school board member get re-elected.
"It was cash given to me by Mr. Loreto Romero," Paul said in a June deposition obtained by The Watchdog. "He gave me cash for campaign posters for Mrs. Yolanda Hernandez."
The FBI has been asking questions about the transaction, three sources told The Watchdog. And a federal grand jury is now hearing testimony from witnesses.
The handoff could be problematic in many ways. State law does not permit campaign contributions of $100 or more to be given in cash. And Paul acknowledged in the deposition that he got no receipt when he purchased the signs.
Weeks after Paul's sworn testimony on June 20, Hernandez and two other candidates amended their campaign filings to reflect $1,897 in previously unreported donations from Romero.
An accompanying receipt from the Studio K printer in Tijuana is valued at $1,401, and dated months before Paul says he met with Romero. The receipt is made out to Gareth Maden, the husband of Trustee Raquel Marquez.
"All the money was used to pay for posters," Paul said in the deposition.
Paul, who gave his testimony as part of a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against the district, did not respond to multiple messages left with him and his attorney Thursday and Friday.
Romero declined to discuss the cash, citing the ongoing investigation. Hernandez did not respond to questions about the claim.
The Watchdog obtained copies of two Paul depositions, one taken in June and the other on Aug. 31.
The second deposition returned to the $2,500 cash transaction in the parking lot of The Butcher Shop, now known as The Steak House on Broadway. Attorneys sought further explanation from Paul about the event.
The interview was terminated after less than an hour by school district attorney Daniel Shinoff, who objected to questions about meetings Paul held to review circumstances of the contribution with others.
An FBI spokesman said he could not confirm or deny the investigation.
Weeks after Paul's deposition in June, school board members Hernandez, Jean Romero and Jason Michael-Bradley Wells amended their October 2010 campaign disclosures to reflect donations from Loreto Romero (unrelated to Jean).
The changes to state disclosure forms could be problematic for the three trustees because the original filings were signed under penalty of perjury.
The two Paul depositions were conducted by San Diego lawyer Patrick Prindle, who filed a breach-of-contract case against the San Ysidro School District earlier this year.
The suit claims the district reneged on an agreement with Manzana Energy to install solar equipment at San Ysidro campuses after company executive Arturo Castanares refused to buy a home for Marquez-Maden and her husband.
"When Mr. Castanares refused, Gareth Maden threatened Mr. Castanares that he would regret refusing to participate in the illegal scheme involving the purchase of a house," the complaint states.
Marquez did not respond to requests for an interview.
Prindle, who is seeking $18 million in damages, said he was not surprised to learn that federal agents are investigating school district officials.

Farewell to two accomplished public servants
(Page 3 of 3)
That was the kind of legislator Fuschillo was. He cared. He put himself on the line for his beliefs and his constituents. That, in large part, is what made him a truly great elected leader.
Fuschillo, now 53, resigned on Dec. 31 to become executive director of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. We were sorry to hear that he was leaving the Senate, but we certainly wish him well in his new endeavor. We offer our heartfelt thanks, Chuck. New York is a better place because of your service.

Some pics from our mule deer hunt in 2010. Region C by Buffalo. all public, DIY. Bucks werent bad, not great. I am the big tall ugly looking guy!! Biggest was 22" wide. Smaller was 19". I missed a buck that was that 18-19", but heavier. The other guy not holding a horn missed a buck at 400 yards or so, it was probably about the same as the 22" we got. Still cant believe I missed my buck.....he was close, but moving fast. I paniced and shot.............should have just let him go and hoped he stopped, but after I missed him at about 60 yards straight down and running, he was not going to stop. stupid on my part. lesson learned...be patient!
Not sure what kind of snake. It was maybe 10"long. Buddy almost put his hand on it while we were climbing out of a hole.
Going back out this October. Cant wait!
I have better pics in my email that I forgot to download, so these will have to do!
Makes me miss living in wyoming!! Born and raised in powell untill moving to NM in 99.
Nice pic's and bucks

Suspected thief arrested during early morning hours
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 03 December 2013 15:49
- Written by Diego Abeloos - Staff email@example.com
Los Altos Police arrested a 34-year-old woman early this morning (Dec. 3) after discovering she was in possession of stolen mail, among other things.
According to Los Altos Police Sgt. Scott McCrossin, an officer approached Renee LeGrande after spotting her near the intersection of Austin and Richardson avenues at approximately 4 a.m. The officer later determined during the course of his conversation with LeGrande that her explanation for being in the area at the time "just didn't match up," he added.
Police later arrested LeGrande after finding her in possession of mail stolen from several homes, as well as stolen property taken from a nearby unlocked vehicle. McCrossin added that she was also in possession of burglary tools at the time of her encounter with police.
LeGrande was booked into Santa Clara County's main jail on charges that include possession of stolen property, petty theft and possession of burglary tools. Her bond was set at $12,000.

Spencer Bachus And The Insidious Poison of Corruption
It is a rare and unpleasant day when I feel it is necessary to call for the destruction of a Republican politician's career for the sake of the decency of The Conservative Movement. It is even more unpleasant when that individual represents a district in my own home state (when he isn't representing only himself). Such is the sordid case of Representative Spencer Bachus (R-AL) | Read More »

CHICAGO (AP) -- A winter storm that is expected to produce a mix of rain and snow has prompted airlines to cancel more than 500 flights at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway international airports.
By late Tuesday afternoon, the airlines at O'Hare reported delays between 30-60 minutes on both inbound and outbound flights, and more than 330 flights were canceled.
Delays at Midway were 45 minutes or more, and airlines had canceled nearly 170 flights. The city's aviation department is urging travelers to check their airlines' website for flight status.
Forecasters expect the storm to leave behind three to six inches of snow and snarl the evening commute.
The National Weather Service says a mix of snow, rain and high winds would make already-slick roadways even more treacherous.

Civil Rights Legend Speaks at Coppin State University
John Lewis was 25 years old when he led 600 marchers to Montgomery, Ala. across the now-infamous Edmund Pettus Bridge on Mar. 7, 1965.
A student from Fisk University, the young activist had peace in mind when he set out on what would be recorded in history as "Bloody Sunday."
Lewis, a Freedom Rider and leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), was aware, long before he was knocked unconscious that day by state troopers, that police officers could turn into violent, hate-fueled mobs in the South.
Now, after more than 40 years, 40 arrests, and 14 terms as a Democrat representing Georgia in the House of Representatives, he remains devoted to improving the human condition, a calling for which he believes he was preordained.
"I had no idea that one day I would be involved in American politics," Lewis told the AFRO, after a Nov. 13 speech at Coppin State University. "I thought I would be a minister, a pastor in the church- but I feel like the spirit led me and said 'This is the way you must go.'
"You cannot get tired or weary even when you don't feel like going. We all have roles to play in life and we should play those parts."
Roughly one hundred people gathered inside Coppin State's Talon Center for a three-hour appearance by the lawmaker and civil rights veteran who talked about his life, his work, and a book rooted in his days in the civil rights movement.
Born into a family of sharecroppers, Lewis said he has come a long way from his Troy, Ala. beginnings. The man who, as a boy, raised chickens, cows, hogs, and helped sell peanuts to feed six brothers and three sisters has seen a lot change in his 72 years, and dares anyone to say different.
It was the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King on a radio, making a call for peaceful action, that steered a then-17-year-old Lewis into using civil disobedience as a means to presss for equal education, pay, housing, and respect.
Two years later the teenager was helping desegregate lunch counters.
The congressman spoke of being spat upon, beaten, and arrested as part of the civil rights movement pressing for the right to vote, to eat in any restaurant and to attend any school.
"I felt free. I felt liberated. I felt like I had crossed over," he said, speaking about his first booking for attempting to desegregate a downtown Nashville, Tenn. Woolworth's store on Feb. 27, 1960.
Lewis recalled a night in Rock Hill, S.C. when, in the wake of a 1961 Supreme Court ruling to integrate interstate travel facilities, he and a group of students pressing for equal access to a Greyhound bus station, were attacked by a white mob.
By 23, Lewis was the youngest of ten speakers to address the more than 250,000 gathered for the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Lewis detailed how civil rights marches on Washington and Selma were organized, and vividly recalled his time with King and conversations with President John F. Kennedy.
"I had read about [Lewis'] struggle but hearing everything first hand… there's nothing like hearing it from the person who actually lived it," said Angela Gaither-Scott, who works on recruitment and retention in the School of Education. She said the event had special meaning because she recalled attending a segregated elementary school as a child.
"I think it is so important to know your history- especially with the current election," said Gaither-Scott, 60. "I am one hundred percent sure that Barack Obama wouldn't be president today if it wasn't for John Lewis."
The appearance came as the second part of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lecture series currently being hosted by the CSU Department of Applied Social and Political Sciences at Coppin State University.
"This is a historic moment in our lives, our ancestors have worked so hard for us not to continue the legacy," said Dr. Harriett Kargbo, an assistant professor in the Department of Adult and General Education.
"When we have a living icon coming out to tell us about our history we need to make sure that we are present to get the first hand information."
According to the Library of Congress' records for Bloody Sunday, the ABC Television network interrupted a broadcast of a documentary on the Nazi war crimes tribunals to show footage of Alabama police using brute force to block civil rights marchers.
As a direct result of the televised footage of the violence that day, public pressure forced the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"All things work together for the good because those images created a movement," said Dr. Claudia Nelson, assistant professor of political science at Coppin.
"When I think of the honor- I think of him in the context of forefathers and foremothers who have gone before us- Ida B. Wells, Mary Church Terrell, " said Nelson. "I think of him the context of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King.
After his speech, Lewis answered questions about his support of same-sex marriage and his reaction to seeing a Black man elected president twice.
Dean Ron L. Collins of the school's honors college applauded Lewis for his "unmatched record of standing tall and being resolute on human rights issues of every variety."
"We honor you for placing your life on the land time and time again," he said.
"Where would this nation be today without a Civil Rights Act? Ponder that thought over dinner, or while enjoying a latte inside a Starbucks."

In one of the strangest turn of events in recent memory, both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer withdrew from the Paris Masters today with injury.
Rafa, who lost the first set 1-6 in his match against Nikolay Davydenko, called it quits after getting treatment on his injured right thigh and losing the set. He complained of a knee injury during his post-match presser:
I had some pain in the knee yesterday. I felt the pain a lot when I woke up this morning. When I push (on my right knee) I feel a sharp pain.
Fed was scheduled to play James Blake later in the day but withdrew sighting back stiffness according to his website:
Dear Fans,Tough break for the Paris Masters officials and fans. It's unusual to see either of these ballers withdraw from any tourney with injuries, nevermind at the same time (is this the first time ever? someone please confirm!). But after all the recent reader bickering comparing Rafa + Fed's physical fitness it's clear they're both fatigued and need a long-ass break.
Due to a stiff back, I have decided to pull out of my match against James Blake tonight. My back has been stiff for the last couple of days and I woke up this morning and it did not respond to the treatment I had last night. As a precaution and because I would be unable to play at 100% tonight, I have unfortunately had to take the difficult decision not to play. I thank the tournament and French fans for their understanding and support.
All the best,
Unfortunately for them, the season's not over...yet.
UPDATE - Rafa's appearance at the Masters Cup is not 100% certain after today's injury withdrawal according to the AP:
Nadal said he has never had a similar injury and that he needs further tests before he decides whether to play the season-ending Masters Cup, which begins Nov. 9 in Shanghai.(images via Getty)
"We are going to have the tests and everything," Nadal said. "Hopefully it's going to be fine for Shanghai, but you never know."

I'm excited for neons, pastels, and color blocking. Also looking forward to the sporty trend when it comes to footwear.
Every month we're bombarded with declarations telling us what we need for the upcoming season. We find ourselves stressing over locating the perfect pair of flared trousers or scoring the semi-sheer printed shirt of our dreams. But, we often forget that there's one super duper easy way to upgrade your outfit: shoes. So, for your enjoyment our stylist found the five pairs of shoes we know you'll love for Spring 2012.
1. american flag lace-up bootie
Why you'll love 'em: These booties are flying off the shelves because they're quirky, cute, and insanely comfortable. Plus, despite the seemingly wild print, they're incredibly versatile.
2. polka dot bow accented heel
Why you'll love 'em: The silhouette of this platform shoe is undeniably classic, but the print is fun and flirty. Additionally, doesn't the bow just feel like spring?
Why we love 'em: Wedge sandals are great for the warmer months, but some options can leave you feeling kinda bored. That's why we're loving these spiked wedges with metallic accents- the trim is modern and the spikes are completely on trend.
Why we love 'em: A slightly unfinished vibe makes these flats so perfect for spring. We especially like the idea of pairing them with a flirty floral frock and if the weather is a little chilly, add a denim jacket.
Why we love 'em: Toe sandals happen to be a staple for spring, much like wedges, but you may find yourself uninspired by most options. However, that won't be a problem with these tribal printed sandals because the pattern is funky and function as a way to dress up even the most boring of footwear.
What was your fave shoe? What other trends are you excited for this spring?

PLANTATION, Fla. (AP) - A class action lawsuit has been filed against the state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp. alleging the company deprived customers of windstorm mitigation discounts through an arbitrary re-inspection program.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs estimated Thursday that 226,000 customers have lost nearly $200 million in credits since 2010.
Citizens gave wind mitigation credits to homeowners who hardened their homes against storm damage. The credits were supposed to last five years.
But the lawsuit alleges Citizens changed the rules mid-game, embarking on a systematic re-inspection campaign that revoked millions of dollars in credits and was designed to increase customers' premiums. It has been a particularly heated issue in South Florida where a large chunk of Citizens' 1.4 million policyholders live.
Citizens said in a statement that the re-inspections were conducted under statutory authority.

Hey Gorilla, my Gaelic is rusty.An thaibhsí atá rattling ag an doras agus tá sé an diabhal sa chathaoir. Can you translate? And r80rt, I think they are forgetting that red is the color of passion, love and revenge! We gonna get u suckers for dissin our babies!
I know one phrase in gaelic, and as this is a family oriented forum, I will refrain from referring to my genitalia in that manner.
Lol.. Its in the same general vicinity.. Taint space between them.. So many months have passed since I decided to buy a new bike, saw a lot of Japanese, tiawanese, Korean and american bikes, then i stumbled upon the RE. With this great community that comes with the bike, I was hooked. I have put my money down on the chrome C5. Now just trying to work out how to get warranty work done without having to make a 500 mile round trip to do so.
See the way I get treated? If I was on a lesser bike they might actually catch me. Further proof that red is The fastest color!
Ah Gorilla, not saying I'm an expert, but i believe that spelling is Scottish Gaelic. In good ol Erin I believe it would be Póg mo thóin. But I will keep doing my research. Dont speak much Gaelic down here in Oklahoma, too busy runnin from twisters and kissen our sisters I guess.
Roger that, Red Leader! Now if we can figure out how to shoot a proton torpedo up the exhaust pipes of all those little black death stars out there, WE WILL DEFEAT THE EVIL EMPIRE! and possible get a wookie to ride in our hack and do our maintenance. That'd be so cool.

Video: Elderly Couple Found Dead In Va. Home
FAUQUIER COUNTY, Va. (WUSA9) -- Police want to talk to a convicted sex offender about the death of an elderly married couple in Fauquier County. Eighty-year-old Nelson Slack and his 74-year-old wife Ethel were found with trauma to their upper bodies inside their home on Sunday, say officials.
Lt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office said deputies arrived at the house at 7282 Bunker Hill Road for a welfare check when they found Nelson and Ethel Slack deceased.
Lt. Hartman said friends called authorities when they did not see the married couple at church. The couple had not been heard from for about 24 hours, according to officials.
When police got to the home they found it was locked and the car was not in the driveway, according to authorities. Police say they had information that the Slacks may have left home early for a pre-planned trip but when deputies came back to the house at 1:15 p.m. with family members who had a key to the house, the key did not work. Deputies then had to force entry into the house through a window, according to authorities. Deputies then found the couple deceased.
Later, their car was found nearby the home, say deputies.
Sixty-year-old John Wesley Jeffries is a person of interest in the case. He is wanted by the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office for crimes such as abduction, strangling and malicious wounding, deputies said. He is also entered as a sexually violent offender and he is considered armed and dangerous, deputies said.
Police say Jeffries may have ties to the neighborhood and may have known the Slacks.
Neighbors say they were good people and are in shock over the news. The husband and wife lived in the area for decades.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Prince William County.
Crime scene investigators from Virginia State Police and the sheriff's office are investigating the deaths. They are the first and second murders in Fauquier County for 2013.
If you come in contact with Jeffries call 911 immediately. If you have any information on the Slacks' deaths, you can call the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office at 540-347-3300; Fauquier County Crime Solvers at 540-349-1000 or the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office.

It's a scene that plays out in physician offices every day, and it's a critical moment for the patient and their doctor. After weeks of appointments, tests, and results, it's time for the conversation. The patient is anxious and confused. Today he sits on edge, waiting for a clear answer and an idea of what happens next.
The specialist has been through this many times before and is well practiced at delivering difficult news. She clarifies the diagnosis and prognosis, lays out a treatment plan, and is confident she has done her best to inform and assure the patient. She answers his questions patiently, gently explaining that not everything he's heard is true. She sends him off with a few sheets of specific information, a pamphlet, several drug samples, and prescriptions.
And the patient? He leaves, with information in hand, in shock. Although he suspected what was coming, it was a shock to hear it out loud. He had questions but didn't get to ask them all. He'd done research on the Internet but wanted to know more. And the specialist, as nice as she was, had other patients waiting and told him she'd see him in three months.
The conversation is changing
In today's increasingly complex healthcare world, communication between physicians and patients often doesn't work. The gap between what the physician has to say and what the patient wants and needs to hear is growing wider. And as that gap grows, trust breaks down.
The critical moment of truth, when the physician summons all of his or her experience and knowledge to help patients confront and cope with life-changing situations, is interrupted by new challenges. What we have come to call the "Clipboard Patient" has wrestled the control of the information (the clipboard) and control of their treatment away from the specialist. The result? Confused patients, frustrated physicians, and a potentially negative impact on therapy compliance and outcomes.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers, having invested heavily in research and marketing, seem to be unfortunately absent from the shifting conversation at a critical moment.

The most compelling and comprehensive
marketing meeting for life sciences professionals.
Reconstructing the conversation
Clearly patients need to hear critical news directly from their physician. And clearly the physician needs to be in direct contact with their patients throughout the continuum of care. But neither party is alone in the process. And our research has shown that more and more physicians admit they need support in managing this new breed of patient.
That support can come from a number of players:
» Nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who want to play a broader role in patient care
» Office staff, who are on the front lines with patients every day
» Caregivers, who can help filter and interpret for their loved ones
» Pharmacists, who can provide and clarify information on drug therapies
» Pharma, who can position their brands, their salesforces, and their companies to support better practice and better physician-patient communication
Yes, even though pharma marketers aren't in the exam room at the critical moment of truth—when treatments are discussed and brand choices are made—they can facilitate the conversation that's happening and support decisions once they are made. Here's how.
Find the disconnects. Our market research among specialists and their patients has helped us identify the critical disconnects and unmet needs in their ongoing conversations. Often different for each specialty and drug, but the themes we've discussed are common. While most pharma marketers conduct a significant amount of market research on clinical needs, brand positioning, and messaging, only a few have focused on these critical physician-patient conversations. Conduct this type of research, and I guarantee you'll be surprised how much perception of the exact same conversation differs between patients and physicians.
For example, physicians may not discuss the course of a chronic disease at the time of diagnosis because it's too much for patients to handle. True to some extent, but there still are things patients do want to know—about what's going on in their body, about their medications, and so on.
Bridge the gaps. Once you discover where the disconnects lie, each insight becomes an opportunity to create a program that facilitates communication and decision making between physician and patient. Some programs are basic—such as simple in-office patient education tools on both disease and treatment. Other programs get more complex, such as patient programs operated outside the physician office. Providing access to nurse practitioners, offering comprehensive education, and even facilitating patient-to-patient networks can require a substantial investment. That level of support has shown to pay significant dividends in terms of brand understanding, patient perception, and relationship building at multiple levels.
At a minimum, ensure your physician group is informed and educated about your brand. Keep your speaker programs focused on content that helps them see how to apply your brand in clinical practice, so they are confident when confronted by the Clipboard Patient.
Reframe your sales rep's conversation. Armed with an understanding of the issues, a toolkit of support resources, and the incentive to build relationships not just increase scripts, the sales rep becomes a welcome ambassador for the disease state, not just a detailing robot. And isn't that the relationship that's often missing from your most important and expensive sales channel?
A rep now has the opportunity to communicate with physicians on their level, helping their physicians not only meet their treatment goals but their practice goals as well. Opening up discussions with the physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and office staff can also be beneficial, helping the reps uncover a variety of unmet needs within the office.
Connecting the dots
While reconnecting physicians and healthcare professionals with their patients is not about your brand's specific features and benefits, it is about your brand and company. Building relationships, solving customer problems, supporting best practices, and driving compliance all align with your marketing objectives.
Helping to rebuild a crucial disconnect in the process is the first step to reframe your brand as a problem solver, build top-of-mind awareness, and at the moment of truth, give you an added advantage.

Most people think of this in terms of physical stressors only. But the reality is that your body is programmed to respond in similar ways to mental stressors too. So, you get mentally stressed out, your cortisol levels jump, you're on edge and your sympathetic nervous system is firing more, just to be prepared.
What Selye found is that if he removed the stressor soon enough, the mice would adapt and become better able to resist that stressor. If he left that stressor there too long, in many cases the mice would die or become less resistant to that stressor. So the key was giving them enough of a stressor to adapt but not too much.
Just a hunch, but I've thought that part of this high/low responder to altitude thing is simply a stress response thing. So, word to the wise if you go to altitude, check cortisol and DHEA-S or Testosterone before you go!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- When the leaves start to change, homeowners should start to think about how to keep their utility costs low.
The U.S. Department of Energy says start with the thermostat. A smart move and investment is to swap out the manual device for programmable one.
Newer thermostats allow you to program a schedule of temperature settings according to the hours you're at home.
The "set it and forget it" technology means you do not have to remember to adjust it several times a day.
Government t energy experts say you can save five to 15 percent on your bills, just dial back that temperature to 10 to 15 degrees for a eight hours a day.
You should also consider a do-it-yourself home energy audit. A simple checklist of specific energy efficient aspects of your home.
Look for air leaks, check the insulation and make sure the lightbulbs don't run up your electric bill.
Most of these projects are pretty budget-friendly. But, if money is tight, there are government programs available to help get your home ready for winter.
Bump up your savings even more when you replace an old appliance with an energy efficient one.
Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia all have programs that offer tax credits and rebates on certain items.

I've spent almost my entire life in Oregon, a state whose populace has a reputation for being both laid back and outdoorsy. While I've definitely mastered the laid back part, I never quite got a handle on the outdoors thing. I love the scenery around here, but I usually prefer not to be in it. Strange, then, that I feel totally comfortable spending countless hours wandering the simulated countryside in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, a lengthy old-school role-playing game (RPG) wrapped in modern visuals that manages to feel like more than the sum of its parts.
Dragon Quest VIII puts players in the role of Hero, a young castle guard on a quest to find Dhoulmagus, the evil magician who destroyed his castle, placed its inhabitants in suspended animation, and transformed King Trode and his daughter Princess Medea into a toad-like monster and a horse. Joined by Yangus, a dumpy ex-thief with a Cockney accent, Jessica, a sultry redhead from an aristocratic country family, and Angelo, a suave Templar with a penchant for women and gambling, Hero will engage in a long series of adventures in order to restore his kingdom.
The game possesses a distinct charm that can largely be credited to the character and monster designs of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Each character comes to life with clean lines, bold colors, and expressive faces, from King Trode's indignant glare, to Yangus's confused gape, to Angelo's mischievous smirk. The monsters are some of the strangest and most amusing I've seen in a game, ranging from a smiling blue blob that looks like a piece of candy, to bullfinches, buffalogres, and bunicorns (the names should give a clue as to what they look like).
Although the characters and monsters are rendered in 3D—a la Toy Story—they retain a distinctly 2D look—a la Mulan—an effect that seamlessly blends Toriyama's 2D designs with the 3D game world. Unlike many games that strive to be as realistic as possible, Dragon Quest VIII's comparatively simple visuals and consistent physical scale (i.e., characters and objects stay the same size between all the game's environments) lend the game a satisfying artistic coherence.
The gameplay sticks to tried-and-true RPG conventions. Characters enter a town to purchase weapons and armor, with important locations conveniently marked—shield sign for the armor store, sword sign for the weapon store. The party ventures outside to fight in random monster battles and acquire experience and gold. Once strong enough, the group defeats a boss in a nearby dungeon, obtains some essential item or piece of information and moves on to new areas and towns. Simple? Indeed. Yet, even after 100 hours it never got old for me.
Aside from the standard battle commands—attack, heal, etc.—players can "psyche up" a character to raise tension, which can be stored for a more powerful attack on the next turn. Repeatedly psyching up characters will whip them into a state of "super high tension," making them look something like a demon about to undergo nuclear fission, and unleashing one of these attacks is one of the most satisfying parts of the game. Other fun battle moves include Jessica's ability to use "sex appeal" (an upgradeable stat) to hypnotize enemies, and Angelo's use of "charm" to similar effect.
Even with such powerful "assets," I still found my party getting wiped out quite a bit. Fortunately, however, instead of forcing players to start over from their last save, the game merely strips the party of half its gold and transports everyone back to the nearest church. Having experienced the profound frustration of losing several hours of progress in an RPG after dying unexpectedly in battle, this feature came as an enormous blessing. While I have since been informed that this system has been a part of the Dragon Quest series from the beginning, it still felt downright revolutionary to me.
Where Dragon Quest VIII truly distinguishes itself from other RPGs is in the size and scope of its world. Beautiful and lush landscapes stretch for miles in every direction, and walking between towns feels like an adventure unto itself, with fields, mountains, deserts, and oceans. Everything is woven into one staggeringly expansive environment, and more than any other game (only Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, often noted for its massive world, can compare), Dragon Quest VIII conveys a sense of true-to-life scales of distance and sheer physical space. Standing outside the first town, I spotted an orange patch far off in the distance. As I headed towards it for the next 10 minutes I watched it gradually grow in size until I was standing in front of an enormous tree with autumn-colored leaves. Even the most distant mountains form part of a continuous world open for exploration.
The music, some of which was recorded by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, sounds superb. As good as synthesizers are at imitating the sound of real instruments, I must admit that nothing quite compares to the real thing. The soothing pastoral melody that bathes the overworld and the noble refrain that fills the cathedrals particularly stand out. A few additional musical tracks would have helped reduce the inevitable repetition that occurs in a long RPG such as this, but the quality mostly makes up for the lack of quantity.
I'll readily acknowledge that Dragon Quest VIII is not the best-looking game out there, nor the most exciting, nor does it have the best story. The loading times could be faster, the music could be more varied, and leveling up could be easier and less time consuming. For some players, these issues may well constitute valid reasons to avoid the game. For my part, however, these weaknesses completely evaporated next to the game's sheer addictiveness and heartwarming charm. If lengthy leveling up forced me to stick around longer than the content justified, then I sure as heck wasn't complaining. In the end, Dragon Quest VIII succeeds brilliantly by taking time-tested traditional-RPG gameplay and placing it in a uniquely vast and beautiful world that is a pure joy to explore and inhabit. Exploring the world of a videogame may not count toward my Oregonian outdoors credentials, but at least it more than fills up my laid back quota for the year.

Superstars Jay z and Beyonce wanted to trademark their daughter Blue Ivy's name.
The couple say they were simply trying to protect others from cashing in on her unique moniker.
The "Crazy In Love" hitmaker gave birth to the couple's first child in January 2012, and the new parents subsequently filed legal papers in a bid to protect the rights to their baby's name amid rumors they were planning to launch products in their daughter's honor.
However, their request was rejected after it was discovered that bosses at party planning firm Blue Ivy Events in Boston, Massachusetts had been operating under the title since 2009.
Now Jay Z has opened up about their failed trademark effort in a new cover story for Vanity Fair magazine, insisting they never actually planned to do anything with the copyright.
He says, "People wanted to make products based on our child's name and you don't want anybody trying to benefit off your baby's name. It wasn't for us to do anything; as you see, we haven't done anything."

11/07/2008, Ft. Pierce, Florida
The photograph is of a man fishing off the beach off the Ft. Pierce inlet. He was actually kind of a jerk and told me to leash the dogs so the picture didn't make the first cut, but I didn't take any pictures today and I needed material. It was a very busy day. Filled up with fuel, did the final pump-out so the head is officially closed, and enjoyed a nice short cruise on perfectly calm water to Riverview. This place is an old school everyman-type marina. Few rules, not altogether organized, people working on their boats, people living on boats while in dry dock, lots of activity with boats going in the water for the season. There is a close-knit community of people who are essentially living here under the guise of getting their boat ready to cruise. The problem is some of them have been doing it for years. Got a ride with new friends to the Hertz outlet about 7 miles away (good thing I didn't try and walk). They are former professionals and now living aboard after having sold the house and most of their worldly possessions. They are happy, as are almost all of the cruisers I've seen. She pointed out at dinner that all the working people drive over the bridges but the cruisers cruise under them. They stress out in traffic on those bridges, we simply do not. Of course, I may very well be driving over the bridge before too much longer... The rental car is really nice. A Mazda small SUV. It will be comfortable and safe to drive the 800 some miles to Oriental. There isn't enough room to take everything I want in the car so a number of things are being left on the boat. I gave away several bags of food and packed several more bags away in the car. I've devoted the entire back seat to the dogs even though the seats fold forward to make more space and I could use the space. It's a long way in the car and I don't want the dogs to suffer. They've been through so much over the last 6 months and have adapted remarkably well. No need to push it. When Jake saw that I was packing the car with our things, he jumped in and refused to leave pretty much all day and part of the night. I guess he's ready to go home. We all are. As I pack to go home the cruisers around me are excitedly getting their boats ready to splash. I've met many cruisers recently and I'm sure if I stayed around for another few weeks I'd meet a ton more. Met a solo sailor who said he had so many friends among the cruisers that he never felt alone. Had new friends over for beers tonight (they don't have a refrigerator in their boat so it was a treat for them). Then they treated me to salad and pizza at the local place down the street. I'm back on the boat now. Still lots to do tomorrow morning. Lots and lots. Don't know if I will be ready by my 9:00 haul out. Some things I can do even after it gets hauled so I should be ok. Once the boat is out of the water, it's too far of a climb for the dogs. They are evidently fine in the car for a while. I need a good night of sleep tonight so I'm going to head off to bed soon. Tomorrow I'll be writing from dry land.
Yesterday was, among other things, a day of gluttonous eating. Pizza for lunch, grilled shrimp and chicken for dinner. I've been cooking for myself so much over the last 6 months and with the marginal food in the Bahamas, and all the canned food (boat food Rob calls it) I was ready for some American eats. Ate myself into an afternoon nap. Ft. Pierce is a nice town that caters well to boaters. It was pretty busy at the City Marina last night but that didn't keep me up. No, Anne kept me up. I don't know whether it was something she ate or if she got bit by something or if she was sensing something from me, but she threw up in the middle of the night and then couldn't settle herself down for hours. She kept getting up, turning around in circles, laying down, then moving around while laid out. If I left her sight she started whimpering. We took a few walks throughout the night but that didn't help. By morning's light she settled down and now appears fine. I, on the other hand, need to sleep tonight so I can be fresh for the road trip. I'm leaving the dock in a few minutes to drive the boat the short distance to Riverview marina and boat yard. I'll dock there, get the rental car, load up the things I'm taking off the boat, spend the night on the water with the dogs, haul the boat first thing in the morning, and head off. We'll see how that all goes. Should be an exhausting day.
11/06/2008, Ft. Piere, Florida
I'm in this fully protected anchorage along the inland waterway so it was nearly smooth as glass last night and this morning. When I arrived I spent time on the computer studying boat storage options in the area and finding a rental car. There are basically two places I can store the sailboat without taking down the mast. There is the fancy Harbortown marina and the not so fancy Riverside marina. Harbortown has all sorts of rules and regulations and hoops to jump through before they will store the boat and naturally they are more expensive. Riverside has a do-it-yourself yard for pre-departure boat prep and they offer full service repairs and bottom painting and such as well. I think I'll take the everyman's yard. It turns out that after the fees for hauling, powerwashing, and blocking, their monthly rate is way less expensive than what I was thinking of paying in Daytona Beach when I almost got off the boat after the hurricane and less expensive than what I was paying in Oriental. Rob recommended coming here for storage and he was right about the price. And Ft. Pierce has a class A inlet so it is easy to depart from here to west end, a mere 80some miles. The choices in car rental were similarly limited. All the major car rental companies now have hubs at the New Bern, North Carolina airport but only Hertz was willing to rent a car from here to there. I have it reserved. The largest I could get was a small suv (like a Rav-4 or Tucson). I'm trying to time things out so I can pick-up the car at about noon, pack that afternoon, stay on the boat that night with the dogs, haul the boat first thing in the morning, close it up, and head off for a full day of traveling, stay at a motel (with the dogs), travel another full day to Oriental, stay on the motorhome with the dogs, drive back the next morning to New Bern (with the dogs left on the motorhome), drop off the car, and get a taxi back to Oriental. If I can do the entire operation in three 24 hour days, it saves me like $100 bucks. Not that $100 more matters that much after all it took to get me this far, but I like to create little adventures for myself and... well you know.
11/06/2008, Near Ft. Pierce, Florida
I spent a second day on the ICW yesterday cruising 20 some miles from Peck Lake to my present anchorage in Faber Cove at Ft. Pierce. The current was with me pretty much the whole way for my last day of cruising on this trip. It was sunny and nice outside with a fresh north breeze against me the whole time just to complete the experience. A few miles from my destination I crossed paths with the Canadian folks I encountered during my first few miles on the ICW two Octobers ago. When last we met while anchored on a wall in Virginia they invited me onto their boat for lunch and we spent time together later that evening on my boat. There is a picture of them in the blog aboard Tropical Dreamer. They invited me once again to follow them back to the Bahamas but again I declined. Even through I'm once again getting off the cruising path while the rest of the cruisers head south along the water road to paradise, I'm content with what I've done so far and ready to embark on new adventures, whatever they may be. As I turned off the ICW towards last night's anchorage I saw dolphins ahead, always a good sign.
It got down to 60 degrees last night. I almost had to put on a second blanket. When I awoke the sun was up and there was dew all over the outside of the boat. I turned on National Public Radio to hear about President Obama's victory. We are definitely turning a new leaf and I look forward to what the change will bring to the US and the world. There are a lot more boats traversing the waterway than when I departed four months ago. Lots more sailboats especially. Many are probably headed for the Bahamas or the Keys or Dry Tortugas or points further south. I don't envy them. I've had my cruise for now and I'm quite content about what I've done and experienced. My mom asked me why I'm not taking the boat back up to Oriental, where the motorhome is located. I explained that I didn't want to motor all the way back up there some 750-800 miles (three weeks of cruising hard every day at least) and that it was going to get colder and colder and that would become very uncomfortable. The north winds in central Florida are chilly enough to put on a long sleeved shirt or two during the day. But I think the main reason is that I want to keep it in southern, Florida. That way it's only a day or two of ICW cruising to the easiest departure point to the northern, Bahamas and a cruise down to the Keys or points further south is readily available. This boat is really perfect for Bahamas cruising, with its relatively shallow draft and combination of nimbleness and toughness. It's also relatively cheap and easy to maintain. Time will tell, but Tropical Dreamer is not going back north just yet, if ever.
11/04/2008, Peck Lake, Central Florida
The picture shows the last bridge before Lake Worth inlet and the first bridge that I went through to get back to the ICW today. I departed this morning from the Rivera City Marina to my present location, Peck Lake. I stopped at Peck Lake prior to picking up my cousin, which was just before the departure for the Bahamas almost two months ago. Unlike the first time I was here, there are several boats anchored tonight. Unlike my first visit, there are north winds gusting over 20 mph tonight. In the Bahamas that would be uncomfortable but in the intercoastal waterway (or the inland waterway as the internationals call it) it is no problem. Prior to my present adventure I would have been nervous in these conditions. Now it is worry free. I know the anchor will hold just fine and the motion of the boat tonight will be rather minimal in spite of the winds. Likely it will calm overnight and pick up again over the day. I need to take the dingy off of the bow and put it into the water so I can bring the dogs to shore. I may get to doing that tonight or I may do it tomorrow morning. The dogs will be ok either way. It's actually nice to be back in the ICW and the relatively calm, protected water, but it's not as adventurous as the open ocean. That's ok tonight. It's like the Bahamas adventure is just a memory and the ICW experience I had for over two months is back on. I'm heading past Port St. Lucie to Ft. Pierce to find a reasonable place to store the sailboat and to find a rental van to take to North Carolina. Of course, the winds were from the north all day. That mean they were against me. When I came this way last they were from the south, also against me. Fortunately the universal diesel has worked like a champ to get us this far. The sun sets earlier these days due to mother nature and the changing around of the time by society a few days ago. It is almost dark now. Three months ago there was still a few hours of light at this time of day. No matter, I can dingy to shore in the middle of the night if need be based on what I've experienced in the last few months. By this time tomorrow I will be in Ft. Pierce and looking for a place to store the sailboat. Just like this was my last night of remote anchorage on the ICW before arriving in the Palm Beach area it is my last remote anchorage before arriving in the area where I will store the boat until the next sailing adventure. Thanks for the kind and supportive comments. It means so much.
11/04/2008, Somewhere in the Gulf Stream
We left at 11:00 p.m. and headed out as a three boat group into the darkness. One of the boats immediately went his separate way and Rob and I continued on as buddy boats. After about 45 minutes Rob's little engine needed refueling and he decided that he had enough wind to just sail. I tried turning off my engine and sure enough so did I. Sailing out to sea in the pitch darkness with only the stars providing light - it was amazing. We continued that way for several hours as the night turned into early morning. Rob's engine wouldn't start again and he wound up sailing the entire way back. About 2/3 of the way he decided to divert to West Palm and I followed for safety. I sailed and motorsailed, the light came up, and by mid-morning I could see the buildings of West Palm. It was a lumpy ride as you can see, but nothing dangerous. The boat handled it fine. Jake and Anne did well and so did I. I got stopped and boarded by the police just as I entered the inlet, but nothing came of it. Rob's girlfriend came last night and we all went to their hotel to shower and clean up and then Rob took me out to dinner for Mexican food as thanks for sticking by him during the crossing. Fell immediately to sleep when I returned to the boat and now I am rested and ready to clear customs and immigration this morning and then to work my way to storing the boat and getting us a rental van to travel to North Carolina and the Rebounder. Then its another cross-country trip to Tucson, perhaps stopping in Omaha along the way to visit family. Lots still to do but at least the hard part should be over. I actually enjoyed the crossing and wouldn't mind longer ocean sailing trips in the future.
11/02/2008, Lucian National Park
Jake, Anne, and I were invited to explore Grand Bahama island with Aiden and his parents in their rental car and we gladly accepted. We drove through West End Settlement, Through the "Town" of 8 Mile Rock, through Freeport, down the road to the Lucian National Park (don't know if I'm calling it by the right name). It was a very pleasant outing. There are underwater caves and burial grounds along the park trails that were quite beautiful. We hung out at their beautiful beach with its sand bar 50 feet off shore and took the forbidden passageway back to the rental car. The dogs had a blast and so did I. What a nice family. Rob has just come to the boat and we're talking about departing tonight since a weather window has opened up this evening.
11/02/2008, West End, Grand Bahama
We've got another beautiful day here on the West End of Grand Bahama island. The kind of day that makes me wonder why I didn't just depart last night in spite of the gusting winds and higher than predicted seas. As a result of the winds last night, the seas are kicked up to 6 feet so tonight's window is probably scrapped as well. It is definitely trending to calmer this week but the next really sweet spot isn't until Friday, another five days off. I expect it will become safe to cross in the next several days and will go when a good window opens again. In the meantime, I'm keeping myself busy. Unlike my neighborhood in Tucson, everyone gets to know everyone at the marina. That's the infamous Rob across from me waiting for his window to cross in his little two masted canoe boat and a new arrival, Aiden, who is here with his parents vacationing at the resort. He has befriended Jake and Anne, as you can see. I got to know the family when I helped them to take over sailing the Hobie yesterday afternoon. The conditions were perfect and they did great without any trouble at all.

Kid Craft: Birthday Cupcake Card
My sweet Mini Saurus "C" turns three this weekend.
Seems like a perfect time to show and tell this cute cupcake card
she made this fall for a family member.
We've made several more since for friend's birthday cards.
First, we cut a paper cup cake wrapper in half and glued it to a blank card.
Then she scribbled with a magic marker the brown cup cake on top.
We finished it off with a generous helping of white elmer's school glue
(dries clear) and real sprinkles!
Happy Birthday Sweet "C"!!

Army Flyer
Fort Rucker, AL | August 5, 2013
Knowing what's coming is key to keeping ahead of the game, and Fort Rucker schools want to make sure that parents and their children are prepared for the upcoming school year.
Fort Rucker Primary School and Fort Rucker Elementary School are offering their Sneak-a-Peek events Monday to give a chance for parents and teachers to meet the teachers, see the classrooms and become familiar with the school before the official first day of class.
"This will give (parents and students) a little bit of comfort," said Vickie Gilmer, FRES principal. "By walking into the building, finding their classroom and meeting their teachers, they get those little jitters out."
"It's also a great opportunity to renew acquaintances with students and parents," added Deborah Deas, FRPS principal. "I know a lot of students that are returning, so I like to talk with the parents, greet them and tell them how excited we are that they're coming back – it's a good chance to see everyone again."
The FRPS Sneak-a-Peek will be from 3-4 p.m., and the FRES Sneak-a-Peek will be from 3:30-4:30 p.m., and both offer a way for parents and teachers to familiarize themselves with the schools and get a peek at what the coming year has in store.
"This is just a quick little buffet of what we have to offer the children," said Gilmer. "The tutor lab will be here (at the elementary school) in terms of tutoring assistance, (representatives) of the Parent Teacher Association will be here, and even members from (the Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation)."
It's important for parents to meet teachers that will be interacting with their children to not only keep their minds at ease, but to help develop communication and a stronger Family unit, said the principals.
"I think (this event) has a tremendous impact on parents and their children," said Deas. "It really helps the parents be at ease sending their children to school everyday and knowing that they're going somewhere that is a safe, secure environment."
"Also, the communication between parents and teachers is just invaluable," added Gilmer. "The children need to know that this is a team effort and we really pride ourselves here on that. We call this the FRES Family, and that extends, not only from the teachers to students, but to the parents as well."
With the furloughs in full swing, the calendar year is shorter by five days – 175 days instead of 180 – but both principals assure parents that although the days have been sacrificed, academics will not.
"The furlough will not have any affect on our academics and classroom instruction at all," said Deas. "We teach to standards and we will teach those standards and make sure all the students are prepared for the next grade or receiving school."
Both the primary and elementary school received numerous accolades for academic achievement during the '12-'13 calendar year, and Gilmer said they look forward to the challenges of the coming year.
"Our '12-'13 school year was just phenomenal – our test scores were off the charts," said the elementary school principal. "We're really looking forward to continuing that path of excellence."

OAuth 2.0: Configuring a new API proxy
For convenience, all organizations on Apigee Edge come preconfigured with a set of OAuth 2.0 endpoints that implement the client credentials grant type. This topic explains how to protect an API using this default configuration.
The client credentials grant type defines a procedure for issuing access tokens in exchange for app credentials. These app credentials are the consumer key and secret pair that Apigee Edge issues for each app that is registered in an organization. For more details, see Implementing the authorization code grant type.
Add OAuth 2.0 to a new API proxy
You can easily add OAuth verification to an API when you create a new API proxy.
- Log in to your Apigee Edge account.
- Select APIs > API Proxies.
- Click + API Proxy.
- Fill out the New API Proxy dialog. If you're not familiar with this dialog, see Build a simple API proxy.
- Select the radio button next to Secure with OAuth v2.0 Access Tokens.
When you select this option, two policies will be attached to the newly created API proxy, one to verify access tokens and another to strip the access token after it has been verified.
Note that the Publish API Product checkbox becomes selectable and is automatically selected. Check this if you want to automatically generate a product when you build the new API proxy. The autogenerated product will be created with an association to the new API proxy. If you have an existing product with which you want to associate this new API, be sure to clear this checkbox so that you don't create an unnecessary product. For information about products, see What is an API product?
Working with the default OAuth configuration
Each organization (even a free trial org) on Apigee Edge is provisioned with an OAuth token endpoint. The endpoint is preconfigured with policies in the API proxy called oauth. You can begin using the token endpoint as soon as you create an account on Apigee Edge. If you'd like to learn more about OAuth token endpoints, see Understanding OAuth endpoints.
The default OAuth endpoint exposes the following endpoint URI:
Publish this URI to developers who need to obtain access tokens. App developers configure their apps to call this endpoint, presenting their consumer key and secret pairs to obtain access tokens.
The default client credentials token endpoint is exposed over the network at the following URL:
For example, if your organization name is "apimakers", the URL would be:
This is the URL that developers call to obtain access tokens.
By default, out-of-the-box OAuth endpoints are only deployed in the test environment. Before they are available in prod, you must explicitly deploy the API proxy called
oauth to
