AVON LAKE — An unknown number of Avon Lake High School baseball players could face discipline for shooting an inappropriate "Harlem Shake" video and posting it to YouTube.
Avon Lake Schools Superintendent Robert Scott said the video was posted to the site March 6. It was removed Monday after he received an anonymous tip about it, Scott said.
Until that tip, no one knew that the video had been made nor posted, he said.
"Some kids make bad decisions," Scott said. "They videotaped something, they behaved the way they did, and then posted it. Every step made it worse. Their actions were not acceptable to anyone at Avon Lake."
The video, which was shot in the high school locker room, featured a number of baseball players dancing to the "Harlem Shake," the title of which dates to an early 1980s dance that originated in New York City. The video was made after a baseball practice, according to Scott, and included shots of a couple of students holding bats "and pretending they were their private parts."
Scott could not say precisely how many students took part.
"It was a lot of kids, but not everybody in the video was doing something inappropriate," Scott said. "Some kids were just walking through, some were sitting there, and some were getting ready to go to their lockers."
The video is being investigated by Avon Lake High Principal Joanie Walker and Athletic Director Thomas R. Barone.
Scott said the video appears to have violated school rules as well as athletic department rules.
"There will be appropriate consequences," Scott said.
Students found to have violated rules for disrespectful behavior including profane or degrading gestures and expressions could face suspensions from school, and/or suspensions from baseball games, according to Scott.
The incident appears to have violated school rules that prohibit such activity from taking place on school premises.
Walker and Barone will determine what action to take.
"They are responsible for it, and they will let me know what is decided," Scott said.
Scott said the investigation was continuing and would include interviews with students, parents and a look at students' past history.
"Because we are a bring-your-own-technology district, students have made videos in the past with iPhones and such, but this is a first for us," Scott said. "Some think this was just boys being boys, while others think it's horrific."
Scott said he knows the student-athletes being investigated for the episode.
"These are all good kids, basically," he said. "For whatever reason they got carried away and did some inappropriate things they'll have to take the consequences for."
Walker could not be reached for comment.
Calls to Barone were not returned.

TC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG; 22 June 1854; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18540622-TC-JN-01; CL 29: 117-120
Chelsea, 22 june, 1854—
Dear Neuberg,—Many thanks for your lucid and very inviting Report upon the Mitchell Papers.1 If I could get fairly at them, I feel as if there was much still to be dug out of them. But the attempt at reading or examining anything there fills me with mere horror!—
The fragments of Works by Fk, as given in Mitchell, "origin of evil" &c are all now in print,—I believe, all;—but a great many of the Letters appear to be still hidden. Preuss,2 for example, ought to wish very much for a sight of that letter you have copied: Dresden (beginning of Septr) 1757; which is very curious,—at least far more curious than thousands he has printed. The black border on it is for his Mother's death (28 june, 1757);3—he is just come into the Saxon Western Regions, and manoeuvring about,—towards Rosbach4 as it proved. I will ask you to copy farther for me, if it is not too troublesome, the Pressis (précis) des Argumens dont se servira un Ministre Autrichien which you indicate in Vol 41 of the Mitchell Papers ("l'an 1760," or 1756? It is a little indistinct. Item
2. To look over Mitchell's Journals (which seem to be in vol. 64 and vol. 67); I do not mean, to read them; but to ascertain what they principally turn upon, and what worth they may be expected to have.
3. "Relations of Battles" &c in vol. 65;—can you ascertain what Battles are there described by Frk. Those by Prince Henri are also of some importance (if Battles where the Prince was present,—Prag,5 for one); but generally not of so much.
4. In vol 55 are letters from Marquise d'Argens, and Mme Maupertuis6 (both Ladies are widows, I suppose, when they write?) If you cd run your eye over a few of them; see whether they do not yield Biographic indications,—especially the Maupert portion, all being very obscure about Maups in the printed Books.
5. (Which is the most important inquiry for me of all). I find by the printed Mitchell7 (I.265;—which see and examine), that Lord Holderness8 writes a Despatch to Mitchell on the 5th of july 1757, which appears to have contained a refusal to send War-Ships into the Baltic, and the reasons for said refusal:—I shd like very well to know what those reasons are. This is a request Fritz is always making; and I never know fully why they won't gratify him. For angering Russia over-much? this I have sometimes suspected;—but shd like to hear what Holderness publicly can say of it.— This is enough for one bout.— The first question and the last (1 and 6) are of chief importance to me; and may be the thing you begin with. I do not demand a Copy of Holderness, at least not yet!—
I find there are 3 printed folios by Leibnitz (Hanover, 1707): Scriptores Rerum Bruswicarum (or some equivalent title);9 and Feller (on "the Weinsberg fable") is probably among them.10 You might look in the King's Library11 Catalogue (always try there first!)—but if you ascertain that Feller is there, don't trouble yourself farther with that affair.
I also want, and have long wanted, to find a certain Book of Toland's, which seems to be some account of a Journey he made to the Court of Fredk first King of Prussia, especially to Charlottenburg,12 and the sublime Charlotte (our Fritz's grandmother), whom Toland calls Serena, and praises to the very skies. I think his Book itself (or Pamphlet) is called "Serena"?13 But you will see in Stenzel.14 I never could meet it or hear distinctly of it in England, tho' all the Prussians know it.— He is but a foolish kind of fellow, Toland, after all: a mutinous Irish fop (with something of the scholar, but more of the braggadocio, and perhaps a good dash too of the blackguard) who got to freethinking, and reforming of religion (bless the mark!)—but I shd like to see once in a distinct shape what he says about the clever Sophie Charlotte, who had long known "the infiniment petit" in a practical manner.15
n.b. There is on this subject a certain old French Book, which you might also take a glance of:
Charles PATIN: Relation Historique de son Voyage &c / I know not the year: "Paris, say 1700 and odd!)16
Finally, Is König's Berlin in the Kings Library? I shd confidently expect it was. In that case, look in vol I, p. 133, and see what is said about the stealing of Irish Kirkman (who cost £1200 in all) to be a giant grenadier at Potsdam.17— And this really is all; work enough for weeks, I shd think!
On Saturday & Sunday we are in the country at Addiscombe; but on any other evening I shd think,—Monday Evg for instance,—are here.18
I am writing with one of your pens; will pay my debt (in this one small case) like an honest man!
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

Genre: Crime & Thriller
Publisher: Blue Door
Publication Date: 01/03/2012
Sarah Chapman 23 February 2012 - 11:25am
A taut and well-written, but deeply disturbing and occasionally confusing, thriller by the Croatian German author Zoran Drvenkar.
If you've done something wrong and can't, or won't, apologise in person, then Sorry is for you. Set up by Kris, Fauke, Wolf and Tamara, Sorry is an agency which apologises on your behalf. Preferring to deal with business matters, such as wrongful dismissal or false accusations, the four friends are understandably unprepared to be contacted by a murderer who wants absolution for his sins. What follows is a tale of child abuse, violence, retribution and delusion, which is fascinating but sometimes hard to read, both due to the subject-matter and also the structure.
Drvenkar has woven multiple voices into his novel, with first, third and even second person narratives piling upon each other, often in the same chapter. On top of this is 'The Man Who Wasn't There', whose identity, and relevance, is a mystery until near the end. The style does take a little getting used to, but is effective in echoing the confusion caused by the murderer's actions. The second person narrative is that of the murderer, which pulls the reader into the story immediately, although being addressed as 'you', when 'you' are nailing someone's head to a wall in the first chapter is a little unnerving, to say the least.
Exploring the ethics of second-hand apologies and absolution, Sorry is a great novel, with an original concept and full of tension - but not for the faint-hearted.

V.A.C. Therapy
While V.A.C.® Therapy may initially seem more expensive, the clinical benefits may actually help facilities lower their overall cost of care. You can learn more about V.A.C. Therapy's demonstrated cost effectiveness.
- Can you treat more than one wound with one therapy unit?
- Can a hospital bill for V.A.C. Therapy?
- Gauze or foam dressings. Is there a difference?
Can you treat more than one wound with one therapy unit?
Yes. KCI has established two methods for connecting wounds to one therapy unit: "Bridging" and "Y-connecting."
Bridging can be accomplished when you have multiple wounds of similar pathology in close proximity to one another. The V.A.C.® drape is placed on the intact skin between wounds, and a strip of foam is placed from one wound bed to the other over the draped skin. As long as all pieces of foam are touching each other, you can place the tubing in a central location and use one pump to distribute pressure throughout all the wounds.
Y-connecting allows you to treat multiple, non-infected wounds that are a larger distance apart by using a connector that can support two separate tubing connections. Negative pressure in either situation is distributed across the wounds, yet controlled by one pump.
Please reference the V.A.C. Therapy Clinical Guidelines for more information.
Can a hospital bill for V.A.C. Therapy?
Yes, a hospital can include charges for the daily therapy unit rental and dressings and canisters on its bill. The charge is established in the hospital charge description master with an association to the following UB 92 revenue codes:
- Daily Unit Rental – UB92 code 947 (medical surgical supplies)
- Dressings and canisters – UB92 code 272 (sterile medical surgical supplies)
Gauze or foam dressings. Is there a difference?
Yes, there is a clinical difference. Although the V.A.C.® GranuFoam™ Dressing (black foam) may seem like simple surgical foam, it has been specifically engineered to deliver NPWT. The hydrophobic, open pore structure of V.A.C. GranuFoam Dressings adapt to the contours of deep or irregularly shaped wounds in order to provide equal distribution of pressure at the wound site. These open pores are also manufactured under specifications to achieve a 400-600 micron pore size to help promote wound healing.
For these reasons, gauze will not provide the proven benefits of NPWT, and, in some cases, the pooling of fluids may occur and interfere with the wound healing process11, 14.

UA Football Hits the Road in Style
The Arizona Football equipment truck, which travels to all road games throughout the season, has a brand new look this season courtesy of corporate sponsor Horizon Moving Systems. Featured as this story's headline photo, the revamped UA equipment truck will depart for Toledo on Tuesday in advance of the team's departure on Thursday. All of the essentials, including jerseys, helmets and other important equipment are loaded onto the truck and taken to each game. This season, Arizona Athletics is encouraging out-of-town fans to be on the lookout for the UA equipment truck as it heads to UA's road destinations. If you see the truck on the road this week or any week, snap a picture of it and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and you could win a pair of tickets to a home football game. A winner will be selected each week before a home game.
Some Game Themes
The excitement of opening week finds Arizona on the road in unfamiliar surroundings, in its easternmost game since opening the 1999 season at Penn State... The Cats open the year against a Mid-American Conference team for a consecutive year, but it's the first-ever trip for a Pac-10 squad to a MAC venue... A match of squads with Biletnikoff Award candidates in UA's Juron Criner and Toledo's Eric Page. Super soph Page led the Rockets and was first in the nation among freshmen with 82 receptions for 1,159 yards. He ranked ninth in the country with 6.8 receptions per game. Criner snagged a more modest 45 catches for 670 yards, but had nine scoring receptions, two more than Page... UA's new defense - new guys, not the system - will get tested by Page, a formidable offensive line and a hungry quarterback To Be Named on game week... UA signal caller Nick Foles will line up with his veteran offensive unit (nine returning starters) against a Rocket defense that returns six starters led by senior linebacker Archie Donald... The game will unveil the four-coordinator system UA employs, with Bill Bedenbaugh (field) and Seth Littrell (box) on offense and Tim Kish (box) and Greg Brown (field) on defense... Will Arizona do anything different with its quarterbacks? Foles clearly is No. 1, but the other guys (Matt Scott, Bryson Beirne) have coaches' confidence and whether UA opts to spread the wealth is subject to question... The Cats and Rockets meet in Arizona's fifth consecutive game on the ESPN/ABC family of networks.
Last Week
The Wildcats wrapped up a preseason slate of training camp sessions with a thunderstorm-shortened "Meet the Team" night on Saturday, Aug. 21, featuring a minimalist scrimmage that wouldn't necessarily show anyone much game-planning for Toledo or beyond. This past week turned attention to game preparation ahead of an unusual Friday night start to the season coming up on Sept. 3. Camp was a businesslike affair showcasing Arizona's veteran offense, its who's-next defense, superior depth at skill positions and an overall confidence that the Holiday Bowl pasting by Nebraska was a useful incident well in the past. Head coach Mike Stoops likes his situation with co-coordinators on both sides of the ball. Offensively the Cats appear happy to run downhill when they're not letting Nick Foles pitch it downfield, defensively there will be some testing of personnel until things get totally established. Some newcomers turned heads and will become more commonly known in UA's football lexicon very shortly.
The Coaches
Arizona - Mike Stoops (Iowa '86), seventh year (33-39) at UA and overall as a head coach. Stoops returned Arizona from a 2-10 program the year before his arrival to the national rankings in his tenure, and has taken the Wildcats to successive bowl games to close the decade. His recruiting and player development programs have put talent back on the field and sent more than a dozen players to the professional ranks via the draft or free agency in the past four years. He has coached national award winners and a combined 28 All-Pacific-10 players. His Arizona clubs have beaten a ranked team each of his years in the red and blue. Arizona football attendance has been a positive feature of a home-field advantage under Coach Stoops, with crowds averaging 93 percent of capacity each of his six seasons at Arizona Stadium. Arizona's football team APR checked in with an improved mark each of the five seasons since his inaugural year. Toledo - Tim Beckman (Findlay '88), Toledo, second year at UT (5-7) and overall. The game pits coaches with defensive backgrounds. Stoops was defensive coordinator at Kansas State and Oklahoma from 1996-2003 and has been on the defensive side since his coaching start in 1986, while and Beckman was DC at Oklahoma State in 2007-08 and at two other stops in his career, plus a defensive guy since his coaching start in 1988.
Series Quick Hits
The Wildcats and Rockets have meet only twice in the long histories of the two programs ... Both previous meetings were held in Tucson at Arizona Stadium, with the Wildcats claiming each contest starting and 1985 and most recently in 2008 ... UA has outscored Toledo a combined 64-26 and will put that control of the series on the line in the first meeting in the Rockets' home venue, the Glass Bowl ... This year's trip will be UA's first contest in the Buckeye state not played against Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. The Wildcats are 1-2 in three meetings against OSU in Columbus, winning 14-7 in 1967, and dropping games by scores of 38-14 and 26-20 in 1991 and 1997, respectively ... The game will be UA's sixth all-time against current Mid American Conference schools and the first the Wildcats play against such schools away from Arizona Stadium ... UA has previously defeated Toledo twice, and Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan once apiece.
Program: The Last Four Years
When one thinks of Arizona football under Mike Stoops, they likely point to the early struggles in the first four years as he worked feverishly to rebuild the program followed by promising eight-win seasons the last two years. One thing that goes overlooked is the fact that, despite injuries to record-setting QB Willie Tuitama, the Wildcats posted a 6-6 mark in 2006 to achieve bowl eligibility on the heels of a pair of 3-8 seasons. While they didn't go bowling, the Cats had broken a stretch of six straight losing seasons for the program. The following year, Stoops brought in Sonny Dykes to overhaul the offense. While Arizona posted just a 5-7 mark in 2007, the offensive makeover was well underway and set the stage for breakout years in 2008 and 2009, as the Cats went bowling for the first time since 1998 in each season. Now, UA has winning overall and Pac-10 records the last four seasons. Surely, having his systems firmly established and his recruits in place has benefitted Stoops' teams over the long haul. Here's a look at the last four seasons - three of which have been bowl-eligible campaigns - for Stoops' Wildcats as it relates to the previous four and seven year stretches of UA football:
• UA is 19-11 in its last 30 games, including a 14-8 mark in the Pac-10
• UA has averaged 6.75 wins per seasons the last four years
• UA averaged just 4.0 wins per season over the previous seven seasons
• UA is 9-9 on the road in the Pac-10 the last four years
• UA never won more than one road game in a season from 2002-05
• UA has nearly as many total wins the last four years (27) as it did the previous seven (28)
• UA has five more total Pac-10 wins the last four years (19) than the previous seven combined (14)
One of the Last Hurdles
Mike Stoops has brought the Arizona program a long way in his six seasons in the Old Pueblo. Consecutive eight-win seasons, the first bowl victory in a decade and playing to within seconds of the school's first Rose Bowl are sure signs of that. But one thing the Cats have failed to do in limited chances is pick up a non-conference road victory. Yes, the Wildcats defeated BYU in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl at a neutral site, but this year's season-opener at Toledo offers a new challenge. UA has dropped roadies at Utah ('05), at LSU ('06), at BYU ('07), at New Mexico ('08) and at Iowa ('09) over the last five years. Snapping that trend would be yet another stamp of approval for the success the program has had in recent seasons.
Rushing Attack Intact
Entering 2010, Arizona returns over 4,400 career rushing yards, a pretty impressive figure. The head of the attack is none other than senior tailback Nic Grigsby, who accounts for 2,424 yards despite not emerging as the starter until late in his freshman season of 2007 and missing significant action with injuries last year. Backfield mate Keola Antolin has accumulated 1,094 yards to date through two seasons, while sophomore Greg Nwoko added 273 in his rookie campaign last fall. Added up, that's 3,791 career yards from the top tailbacks. Throw in dual-threat QB Matt Scott's 493 career yards and markers from H-back Taimi Tutogi (50) and WR Juron Criner (62) a year ago and you have a total of over 4,400 rushing yards returning. Of that group, only Grigsby is a senior.
Rushing to Success
The spread offense has taken over college football in recent seasons and the Wildcats jumped on the bandwagon with Sonny Dykes and his staff in 2007. With it came a record-setting passing season for Arizona in 2007 and back-to-back eight-win seasons in 2008 and 2009. But the Wildcats have found their success most consistent in running the football, not tossing is around for 300-plus yards per game. Not coincidentally, a more consistent ground game the last two seasons has helped the Wildcats win more games. Consider this rush of facts:
• Arizona is just 5-7 in games when it passes for 300+ yards since the start of 2006
• Arizona is 6-1 in games when its opponent throws for 300+ yards in a game since '06
• Arizona is 21-6 in games when it rushes for 100+ yards in a game since `06
• Arizona is just 11-19 in games when its opponent rushes for 100+ yards in a game since `06
• Only four teams have beat UA when rushing for less than 100 yards since the start of `06
• UA has not lost a game in the last two seasons when opponent rushes for less than 100 yards
Leading the Way
The Arizona Wildcats voted on their team captains 10 days prior to the season opener, with four veterans drawing the respect of their teammates. Senior defensive linemen Brooks Reed and Mana Mikaele will represent the defense as captains, while senior center Colin Baxter and junior quarterback Nick Foles will carry the honors for the offense. Two other players, wide receiver David Roberts and linebacker Jake Fischer, will represent the football team in UA's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), which works with athletic administrators to provide feedback on improving the Arizona experience for student-athletes.
Where Grigsby Stacks Up
Senior tailback Nic Grigbsy enters his final campaign at No. 8 on the career rushing charts, with significant potential to ascend up the chart with a productive and healthy season. Grigsby needs 576 yards to become the school's sixth player to reach 3,000 career rushing yards.
Big Play Juron
Wide receiver Juron Criner turned in a breakout season as a sophomore a year ago as he emerged as UA's big-play threat on the outside. He led the team with nine touchdown receptions, which checked in tied for No. 5 on the single season receiving TD chart at UA. Perhaps most noteworthy of his stats, which included 45 grabs for 581 yards, was the fact that he hauled in TD grabs at Iowa, at Oregon State and at USC. Pretty stingy competition, and two of those games were wins, including on Dec. 5 at USC when Criner's 36-yard scoring play proved to be the game-winner late in the 4th quarter. His breakout performance came in a nationally televised game home game on ESPN against Oregon in late November with Rose Bowl implications. The 6-foot-4 Criner hauled in three TD catches, including a 71-yarder on a screen pass in the 4th quarter. While UA fell 44-41 in double overtime, Criner capped his night with the go-ahead TD in the first overtime. In another clutch performance, Criner tallied 12 receptions for 152 yards in a thrilling home victory over Stanford. Here are some quick hits on Juron Criner:
• Just two TD's shy of breaking into UA's career to-10 for receiving TD's
• Led all UA receivers with a 12.9 yards per catch average in 2009
• Nearly 60-percent of his catches in 2009 went for a TD or a first down
• Led all UA players with four scoring plays of 20+ yards
• Had most 20+yard plays by a player who did not also factor in kick/punt returns
Return Artists
In 2009, Arizona was explosive in both the kick and punt return games. With both of the primary return men - Travis Cobb (KOR) and Bug Wright (PR) - back, the Wildcats hope to add to their highlight reel special teams play. As a unit, Arizona ranked No. 4 in the nation with 15.3 yards per punt return average. Wright averaged 19.2 yards per return, paced by an 86-yarder for a score, which would have been tops in the nation and best in school history had he reached the minimum number of attempts per game. Meantime, Cobb averaged 25.4 yards per kickoff return tote, and the Wildcats checked in No. 10 nationally with a 24.9 yards per return average.
YPP Facts and Figures
In 2009, the Arizona rushing attack averaged 4.8 yards per carry, the best average for a UA squad since 1999 when career rushing leader Trung Canidate was finishing up his stellar career. It also continued a trend of steady improvement by the Wildcats in recent seasons under the new offensive staff that was headed by Sonny Dykes from 2007-09. Dykes brought with him Bill Bedenbaugh, who is now a co-offensive coordinator and one who deserves significant credit for revamping UA's offensive line, and with it, the running game as a whole. Consider that in 2006, prior to Bedenbaugh's arrival, the Cats rushed for just 2.7 yards per carry. That number inched up to 2.9 ypc in 2007, before skyrocketing to 4.1 ypc in 2008 and eventually the 4.8 mark a year ago. The consecutive seasons with 4.0+ yards per carry is a first for the Cats since the 1998-99 squads that feature Candidate did so with 4.9 and 5.2 averages, respectively.
Turnover Fortunes
Arizona's success on the gridiron hinges greatly on its fortunes in the turnover battle, particularly on the road. Since the start of the 2006 season (50 total games), the Wildcats are an impressive 12-3 when they win the turnover battle in a game. Conversely, they struggle to a 4-12 mark in games when they lose the critical battle. The Cats linger just over .500 in games they split the turnover margin with an 11-8 mark. In multiple miscue games, Arizona is just 11-15 when it turns the ball over two or more times, but has benefitted with an 8-3 clip when opponents turn it over twice or more in a game. But perhaps the most notable statistical trend as it relates to turnovers is the fact that the Cats are 0-9 in the last 50 games when they lose the turnover battle on the road. At the same time, UA is 9-4 away from the home when it wins or splits the turnover battle.
Moving the Chains
The Wildcats' offensive attack the last several years has been very good at moving the chains and keeping drives alive. A good game in this category includes accumulating 20 or more first downs in a game. When the Cats reach that mark, they are 12-4 over the last two seasons and 17-6 since the start of the 2006 season. At the same time, keeping opponents under that mark is critical, too. UA has captured 20 of its 27 victories over the last four years by keeping opponents under 20 first downs in a game. If UA gets 20 and keeps its opponents below that number in the same game, the Cats win 80-percent of the time (12-3 record).
Game of Possession
While not always the case, maintaining possession of the football is a sign that one's offense is moving the ball and its defense is doing a sound job controlling the opposing offense That has usually been the case for the Wildcats, although some quirky games (such as a 23:32 edge in possession at Oregon in 2008) skew TOP from being a perfect stat. Even so, Arizona is 20-7 since the start of 2006 when it has a positive margin in time of possession and struggles to just a 7-16 mark when its opponents keeps the ball longer. For games in which the opponent controls the ball four or more minutes longer than the Cats yields a 3-13 record for the Cardinal and Navy. When the tables are turned and UA has the four-plus minutes of possession, the Cats are 15-6.
3rd Down Improvement
In 2009, the Wildcats saw their third down conversion percentage drop from 46.3 percent in 2008 to 41.4 percent. First-year starting quarterbacks and an injury-plagued backfield are plausible explanations. Undoubtedly, the Cats would like to see that number improve this coming year. But, the consecutive 40-plus percent conversion rates the last two seasons are the first two for UA teams since 1998-99, when the teams were both above 42 percent. Even more positive for the Wildcats, their defense has been solid the last two years in defending in third down situations. Opponents have been held to an average of 34.7 percent conversions the last two seasons after converting an all-to-high 43.2 percent against UA's defense in 2007.
Fast Starts
In the last two seasons, the Wildcats have developed a knack for fast starts to games and halves. In 2009, the Wildcats outscored their opponents 105-58 in the first quarter of games and 77-56 in the third quarter. Combined with the 2008 season, those numbers are even more impressive. UA has outscored opponents 197-120 in the first quarter of its last 26 games, and 205-110 in the third quarter of those games. What does it mean? Either the Wildcats thrive playing fully rested or perhaps game plans and coaching adjustments are spot-on and the players are executing those plans.
Notes on Sacks
Arizona registered 34 sacks last season, led by DE Ricky Elmore who notched a Pac-10-leading 10.5 sacks during the regular season. The defense ranked No. 22 in the NCAA and No. 3 in the Pac-10 on the year with a 2.62 sacks per game. UA's season total was its most in nearly a decade, falling just short of the 36 posted by the 2001 club. Of note, the Wildcats turned in at least three sacks in a game seven times last season (5-2 record), the most three-sack games for a UA squad since 2000 when it had eight. In its last 50 games, Arizona has recorded three or more sacks in a game 20 times with a 14-6 record.
Maintaining Discipline
Discipline has been one of the staples of Mike Stoops football teams at Arizona over the last several seasons. In fact, in its last 50 games, Arizona has drawn more penalty flags than its opponents just 16 times (32 percent). Of UA's 27 wins in that times span, 21 have come in games when the Cats have been flagged fewer times than their opponents.
Colin the Shots
UA center Colin Baxter returns for his final season in a Wildcat uniform and will undoubtedly be calling the shots on the offensive line. He has started 37-consecutive games along UA's line, providing stability at a position of need. In 2008, he was slid from guard to center mid-year after center Blake Kerley went down with a season-ending injury. Since, Baxter hasn't look back. He's a featured spokesman for the team, offering unique perspective acquired from his time in the trenches and his tireless work with the program on and off the field. He was named a team captain prior to the season for the second straight year and will make a final push for national honors at his position. An All-Pac-10 selection a year ago, Baxter is on the Outland Trophy and Rimington Award watch lists entering the season.
Visiting the ZonaZoo?
The Wildcats have developed quite a home field advantage playing in Arizona Stadium in front of one of the largest and most spirited student sections in the country - the ZonaZoo - and a loyal fan base that has turned out in record numbers during the Mike Stoops era.
• UA has won 12 of its last 15 home games
• Only losses to No. 6 USC and No. 22 Oregon State in 2008, and No. 11 Oregon in 2OT in 2009
• The three losses have come by a total of 12 points (4 ppg average)
• UA has won its 12 games by an average of 22.7 ppg • UA has just one single-digit victory in the span (2009 vs. Stanford)
• UA's 5-1 record in 2009 was its best home record since it went 5-1 three straight years from `96-98
• UA has averaged 50,000+ fans per game for six straight seasons, the best stretch in school history
• UA has averaged 52,780 fans per game in Mike Stoops' six seasons, with a 21-18 record
• A total of 2,058,412 fans have watched Stoops' teams at Arizona Stadium
• The ZonaZoo seats over 10,000 first-come, first-served patrons from endzone-to-endzone and has a membership well over 12,000 and growing, which accounts for one-third of UA's enrollment.
Old Man on the Block
Arizona graduate offensive tackle Adam Grant, who moves to the left side this year after a couple of years on the right, is an NCAA-approved sixth-year player thanks to some earlier medical problems that caused him to miss nine games as a sophomore (knee) and his redshirt freshman year in 2006 (knee). He also missed six games with a hand injury in 2008. Grant's tenacity and physical situation are at all-time highs. The 24-year-old religious studies student earned his degree two Mays ago. He's an 18-game starter in 20 overall appearances and one of the team's spokesmen on a variety of topics, notably perseverance. He initially was recruited as a tight end (redshirted 2005 in that role) but his big frame (now 6-foot-8, 325) was evident, and his future was a few feet closer to the ball from the onset of his career.Mike Stoops'
Cats in the Pac
Arizona's 6-3 mark in the Pac-10 in 2010 was its best since 1998 and is the third six-win Pac-10 season in program history. The record gave the Wildcats 14 victories in their last 22 conference games, dating to the last four games of the 2007 season. That 14-8 record (0.636 winning percentage) is impressive by itself, but even in the Wildcats' eight losses, they have been just a few plays away from winning each game. UA has lost five of the eight games by three points or less and by a total of 37 points (average of 4.6 per game).
Late Season Success
Mike Stoops' Wildcats have enjoyed a nice run of success in the months of November and December since his arrival in 2004 despite back-to-back losses at Cal and against Oregon. A career record of 33-39 includes a 14-10 mark in the final two months of the season. Over the last three seasons, Arizona is 11-7 in such late-season games. But, perhaps most impressive, the Wildcats are 7-4 against ranked teams in November/December showdowns, , which includes last year's Las Vegas Bowl win over BYU last December. Last year, the Cats entered November with a national ranking of their own, but dropped from the polls after a loss at California. A victory at No. 20 USC vaulted the Cats back into the polls at the end of the regular season, but a bowl loss to No. 20 Nebraska again dropped the Cats from the polls.
Elmore Looking for More
Defensive end Ricky Elmore turned in a breakout junior season as he has emerged as the Pac-10's sack leader through 12 regular season games in 2009. Elmore tallied a career-high 10.5 sacks in much-needed fashion as classmate Brooks Reed struggled through the early-middle portion of the schedule with an ankle injury. Reed returned last year as one of the more heralded ends in the league, but Elmore more than filled in on the opposite side. Elmore's 10.5 sacks were the most for a Wildcat in a decade, surpassing Joe Tafoya's 10.0 set back in 1999. The next best total was 11.5 by Joe Salave'a in 1997. Then it's Tedy Bruschi's 14.5 and 19.0 totals in the 1995 and 1993 seasons, respectively.
Reed Ready to Lead
Senior defensive end Brooks Reed is eager to put a disappointing junior season behind him. It was disappointing only because a high ankle injury suffered in Week 3 at Iowa hampered him much of the season, including missing all or most of several mid-season games. He had returned as UA's leader in sacks from a breakout sophomore season when he tallied 8.5 in 2008. Reed, named one of four team captains for this season, will combine with 2009 breakout man Ricky Elmore to give the Wildcats one of the top bookend defensive end combos in the nation. Health will be much welcomed and much needed for both players on the line.
B2B Road Wins
The Wildcats finished the 2009 regular season by winning back-to-back true road games in consecutive weeks for the first time in school history. The historical games included a 20-17 last-second victory at Arizona State and a 21-17 come-from-behind win at USC. There have been only a handful of seasons in which the Wildcats closed regular seasons with a pair of road games, including 1999, 1993, 1987 and 1971 in the mostly modern era of football. The school did the same in the 1951 and 1952 seasons, and the first such instance came in the 1932 season. In the 1910's and 1920's, Arizona did play several neutral site games paired with a road game to end seasons. But no matter how you look at it, last year's accomplishment was pretty rare and well-earned.
Not to Be Offensive
Over the course of the last 37 games, Arizona has scored 13 non-offensive touchdowns (once every 2.85 games). In 2007 and 2008, the Wildcats scored on two punt returns and two interception returns in each season. In 2009 , Travis Cobb scored on a kickoff return (95 yards), Bug Wright returned a punt to the house (86 yards), Orlando Vargas blocked a punt and returned it for a score (23 yards), and defensive backs Trevin Wade (38 yards) and Robert Golden (79 yards) had pick-six's. The Cats hope more are in store in all phases of the game in 2010.
Zendejas on Point
Somewhat quietly, 2010 Lou Groza Award watch list member Alex Zendejas turned in an impressive year for a place kicker in his first year of a full duty a season ago. Zendejas connected on 17-of-22 field goals, including a career-long 47-yarder at the end of the first half against Oregon and a game-winning 32-yarder as time expired against ASU (named Pac-10 Special teams Player of the Week for the game-winner). He's missed three PATs, but still hit 38-of-41, giving him 89 points on the year. He tied with uncle Max's 89 points in the 1985 season, which is the No. 10 mark for a single season for scoring (all players). In 2007, Jason Bondzio became the first UA kicker to reach 100. Alex's four field goals in four tries at Washington tied the school record for which he already grabbed a share. He hit on relative chip shots of 18, 23, 29 and 24 yards against the Huskies. For his effort, Zendejas was named one of three "Stars of the Week" by the Lou Groza Collegiate Place Kicker Award. He opened the season 4-for-5 against Central Michigan to join four other former Wildcats with four in a game. His UW performance also gave him a piece of the 4-for-4 single-game high-percentage mark held by the same four kickers (Doug Pfaff vs. Stanford 1989, Max Zendejas at LSU 1984, Charlie Gorham vs. Indiana 1973 and Steve Jurley vs. UTEP 1968).
30 Is (Usually) The Magic Number
The Cats' loss to Oregon in double overtime and their 36-33 loss to Washington on Oct. 10 was a rare one. Since joining the Pac-10 in 1978, the Wildcats have played 111 games in which they have scored 30 or more points. Their record in those games? An astounding 99-11-1. That record included a streak of 18 consecutive victories prior to the Oregon game in 2008 (55-45 loss), and UA is now 20-3 under Mike Stoops. Arizona was 8-1 in such games in 2008 and is 4-2 in 2009.
If Not 30, Try 40
If Arizona's .892 winning percentage since 1978 when scoring 30 or more points isn't enough, then try out a 40+ point stat. In its entire history of football, Arizona is 110-5 when scoring 40 or more points in a game, something it did in four home games a year ago. As you might expect, Arizona was 4-0 in those games. What you might not know is that the last time UA reached the mark four times in one season was in 1954, when it did so six times. In 2009, the Wildcats have reached 40 points three times with a 2-1 record in those games. The loss? A 44-41 double overtime victory by Oregon. Amazingly, the Ducks also dropped the Cats the year prior, 55-45, in Eugue, accounting for two of the five all-time losses.
Get In the Zone
Arizona hopes that a late kickoff (8 p.m. ET or 5 p.m. Tucson) will be the formula it needs to shake off some struggles playing in the central and eastern time zones in recent years. Since 1978, UA has opened its road schedule 12 times by playing outside of the more comfortable Pacific and Mountain time zones when there is either no time change or perhaps one hour difference. Playing two time zones away, the Cats are just 2-10 in road openers, with many of those games being late morning or early afternoon starts at local time in Midwestern cities such as Madison, Wisc., Champaign, Ill, Columbus, Ohio, and West Lafayette, Ind., among others. Those games have been even earlier for the Wildcats who were lining up for kickoff as early as 8 a.m. based on their normal body clocks. Of UA's two wins in such games, its last was at Georgia Tech in 1994, which was a special Thursday night game on ESPN.
Road Openers
Road openers have not been kind to the Wildcats, who are 14-16-2 since 1978 in such games, including eight-straight losses entering this season. Now, the Cats have had some difficult games in that recent stretch, including at Wisconsin ('02), at Purdue ('03), at UCLA ('04), at Utah ('05), at LSU ('06), at BYU ('07), at New Mexico ('08) and at Iowa ('09). This year's trip to Toledo on Sept. 3 will not only be UA's first road game, but its season-opener. Since joining the Pac-10 in 1978, the Cats have opened a season on the road just 10 times, going 5-5 in those games. UA has dropped its last two such games, including the games against Utah and BYU.
Youth in Charge
Arizona co-offensive coordinators Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell hit the chart of "youngest coordinators" compiled by East Carolina SID Tom McClellan. Littrell, 32, is the eight-youngest coordinator in the country and seventh-youngest OC, while Bedenbaugh, 38, is 32nd on the overall list. Twenty-seven-year-old Lincoln Riley (offensive) of ECU is the youngest coordinator in the land.
Experience in Charge
Arizona co-defensive coordinators Tim Kish and Greg Brown hit the chart of "most-experienced" coordinators compiled by ECU SID Tom McClellan. Kish and Brown have a combined 66 years of college and pro coaching experience, which together checks in as the fifth-most by a coordinator duo in the nation. Most of schools on the list combine their OC and their DC, but Arizona and Iowa are the two schools in the top-5 of the chart that sport co-defensive coordinators.
IN"T" Wade
Cornerback Trevin Wade enters his junior season with nine career interceptions in just 13 career games started. He snared five interceptions and broke up 14 passes a year ago to lead the Wildcats and emerge as one of the Pac-10's premier corner backs. He enters his junior season with potential to move into some lofty career charts by season's end should he remain healthy and productive. An All-League pick a year by coaches, Wade enters 2010 on several preseason watch lists, including consideration for the Jim Thorpe Award and Bronko Nagurski Award. He is one of four returning starters and is expected to be a top playmaker for the Wildcats.
Golden Worth His Weight in Gold
Junior defensive back Robert Golden will be one of the expected leaders of the Wildcat defense after starting 13 games a season ago at safety. The one difference this season is that the 5-11, 190-pounder will likely line up at cornerback most of the time this season. A natural corner, Golden shifted to safety last year as Devin Ross returned as a starter and the emergence of Trevin Wade brought some welcomed depth. The UA continues to show solid depth, but this time around it's the young and talented safeties in the program that will allow Golden to move back to the island. You will see him line up inside at nickel and safety spots in certain defensive packages, but the second-year starter is eager to show his skills at corner once again.
Unlucky 13
For some reason, UA receivers in recent seasons haven't been able to reach the elusive No. 13 for single game receptions. The number is significant because no player has ever finished a game at Arizona with 13 catches. In 1996, Jeremy McDaniel eclipsed the mark by hauling in 14 passes for 283 yards (another school record). Since, UA receivers have snared 12 catches a total of six times. Bobby Wade hit the dozen mark in 2002, while Mike Thomas did so twice in 2007. In 2008, Rob Gronkowski caught 12 passes in a game at Oregon, while teammate Dave Roberts did so in 2009 on the road at Washington. Juron Criner was the latest Wildcat to join mix, pulling in 12 grabs for 152 against Stanford a week later in 2009. In all, eight single game performances have fallen one catch shy of 13 in UA history.
Next Week
The Wildcats will return home to begin a stretch of four-consecutive home games played over the course of five weeks. The home opener will welcome The Citadel to Arizona Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, Sept. 11. The UA will celebrate Public Safety night at the stadium in honor of public service men and women across the world. The game will be televised live on KWBA Channel 58 in Tucson and on FOX College Sports. Taped versions of the game will re-run on KGUN-9 TV in Tucson and on FOX Sports Arizona beginning at 10:35 p.m.

TC TO DAVID LAING ; 28 December 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18451228-TC-DL-01; CL 20: 80-81
Chelsea, 28 Decr, 1845—
My dear Sir,
I received your Letter down in Hampshire where our abode of late weeks has been. Returning now to Town, I find there is to be a new edition of the Book on Cromwell.1 If you will, as soon as possible, favour me with your corrections and suggestions, whatsoever remark you judge it of importance to write down,—certainly they will be thankfully received, and shall meet with due serious consideration. "Catherine Muir" shall become "Elizabeth Muir";2 and no error that I can sweep out shall have leave to continue there.
I do not wish to hurry you, being anxious to have the full benefit of you: but as already hinted, the sooner your help arrives, it will be the welcomer. For the rest, as the plan of the Book, and whole substance, temper and structure of it are already given, it is chiefly in corrections as to fact that I am to be benefited: furthermore, if beggars might be choosers, I would solicit, as I do of all my correspondents on this matter, "Your clearest hand and your briefest convenient style."— I think there will be some forty or fifty new Letters which have turned up since I was last at the business; perhaps fifty, some one or two of which are not without importance.
With many thanks and regards
Yours very truly /
T. Carlyle.

A man identified as Cleottus Harvey, 26, of Las Vegas was shot to death on Tuesday January 21st around 5:20 p.m. as he was stopped at a stop light on Tropicana Avenue at Rainbow Boulevard, which is a busy intersection. Harvey had his two children in the back seat of the car when he was shot to death. Cleottus Harvey was driving a Buick which was stopped at the red light when an unidentified white male who was driving a dark colored sedan pulled up next to Harvey and fired multiple rounds into the Buick. Harvey then lost control of his car and crashed into a Volkswagen Jetta and a Toyota Camry.
Witnesses said the driver of the dark color sedan was speeding and driving recklessly as he pulled up next to Harvey's car and argued with him briefly before pulling out a gun and firing at Harvey multiple times. Harvey had his two children with him at the time of the tragedy. The children, ages 2 and 3 miraculously were unharmed after the shots were fired and after the Buick crashed into two other cars.
Police arrived on the scene finding the Buick wrecked into the other cars with multiple bullet holes in the car. Police said they are not sure if the incident was a result of road rage or if it was part of a prior incident involving the suspect. Witnesses said after the man in the dark color sedan fired the shots he continued driving west on Tropicana Avenue. Harvey was rushed to University Medical Center where he later died as a result of his injuries. Authorities would like anyone with information about this incident to contact Metro homicide detectives at 702-828-3521. If you would like to remain anonymous you can contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555 to report any information.

Garrett Sim had a season-high 25 points to help Oregon hold on for a 74-73 win against Oregon State on Sunday night.CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) --
Devoe Joseph and Olu Ashaolu added 16 points apiece for the Ducks (20-8, 11-5 Pac-12).
Ahmad Starks had 18 points and Angus Brandt 16 for the Beavers (15-13, 5-11).
Oregon State came back from a 10-point deficit, cutting the margin to two on Devon Collier's basket off a rebound with 41 seconds remaining. Ashaolu made one of two free throws with 9.9 seconds left, giving Oregon State one last possession with an opportunity to tie.
Challe Barton missed a 3-pointer, and the Beavers' Jared Cunningham followed with a dunk for the game's final score.
- Oregon has reached 20 wins for the second straight season. It marked just the third time in school history UO has produced consecutive seasons of 20+ wins.

text: Information Aggregation and Beliefs in Experimental Parimutuel Betting Markets Volume 1 Jena Economic Research Papers 2007-07-06 2007 2007 Parimutuel betting Information aggregation Elicited beliefs Experimental economics We study sequential parimutuel betting markets with asymmetrically informed bettors, using an experimental approach. In one treatment, groups of eight participants play twenty repetitions of a sequential betting game. The second treatment is identical, except that bettors are observed by other participants who assess the winning probabilities of each potential outcome. In the third treatment, the same individuals make bets and assess the winning probabilities of the outcomes. A favorite-longshot bias is observed in the first and second treatments, but does not exist in the third treatment.

Making bets improves the accuracy of stated beliefs.

(NBC) - Suzuki is recalling more than 19,000 mid-sized cars due to spiders.
The automaker says spider webs can clog a fuel vapor vent hose in some 2010 to 2013 Kizashis.
A clogged vent can cause cracks and fuel leaks in the gas tank.
Suzuki says it will replace the vent line with one that has a filter on the end.

Does the thought of regeneration appeal to you? According to TheFreeDictionary.com, the word regenerate means, "To form, construct, or create anew, especially in an improved state."
Isn't this something we all strive for? We work so hard, with an overwhelming fixation to energize positive change, to improve. Do you think when we're trying to hard we might actually be undermining or delaying perhaps an intended development?
Although it may not feel like we're in a renewal process, our bodies, without even having to think about it, are in continuous rebirth.
DivineCaroline.com shares, "The cells in our bodies are constantly dividing, regenerating, and dying… The cells lining the stomach, because they're exposed to acid, replace themselves about every five days. Cells in the epidermis last about a week. Red blood cells live for approximately four months in the body, while hepatocytes (liver cells) live about five. These hardworking but disposable cells take a lot of punishment; they're easily manufactured and easily replaced.
…A bone completely remodels itself and replaces all of its cells every ten years or so. Cells in the intestinal tract… last for about fifteen years, the same as certain muscles, such as the intercostals between the ribs."
Can you imagine; all of this growth takes place, as part of our natural progression. Unforced, without thought, it still continues to happen.
If you've been trying to force something and you haven't had success, instead perhaps you should channel your energy into the thought of regeneration. Step back, let go, and let nature take its course.
If you're stuck anyway, how can this new approach hurt?

Gennady Golovkin and Osumanu Adama spoke Tuesday at a press conference held in Manhattan Beach, California.
Golovkin (28-0, 25 KOs) is set to defend the WBA and IBO middleweight belts against the 33-year-old Adama (22-3, 16 KOs) on February 1 in Monte Carlo.
A silver medalist as a middleweight at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Golovkin last vacated the squared circle in November after successfully safeguarding his crowns versus an overmatched Curtis Stevens.
"GGG" mercilessly stalked the 28-year-old Stevens (25-4, 18 KOs) and floored the challenger with a ferocious left in the second.
The bout was called at the end of the eighth round after Golovkin landed 293 punches and badly defaced Stevens.
"I am working hard every day for February 1 for Adama," said Golovkin, 31, who has now recorded 15 consecutive knockouts. "He is a good fighter, a strong guy, not an easy fight. Every fighter is different. This is boxing. This is serious. I think it's a good fight for us."
Meanwhile, Adama most recently stopped Doel Carrasquillo following six rounds of action.
Adama, who amassed an amateur record of 54-4, is nothing more than an average prizefighter.
Accordingly, a ferocious and accurate slugger who has never once hit the canvas, Golovkin will quickly finish Adama and then seek a marquee opponent.
"First I will train for February 1. But, I am ready for the big names. I will fight everyone," said Golovkin.
Facing Gennady Golovkin, Osumanu Adama will be in "serious" trouble from the outset and he'll likely get knocked onto Queer Street within seven rounds next month.

These are held as annual events, each with a specific theme. The music is such that we try to make somewhat unique with both Classical Gothic music, and Traditional Classic music. As such, you will see ballroom dancing throughout the night, as well as regular contempory Gothic club moves on the dance floor.

Campbellsville University Volleyball is off to a hot start this season. With a 4-1 overall record, the Tigers' only loss of the season came on September 5 to Mid-South Conference rival Lindsey Wilson College in the fifth and final set.
"We are a very deep team with a lot of possibilities." Head Coach, Amy Eckenfels said earlier this season in an interview with CU Sports Information.
She hit the nail on the head with that one. Offensively, CU looks to a junior from Sao Paulo, Brazil to make things happen. Daine Souza, MSC Player of the Week recipient for the week leading up to Sept. 1, propelled the Tigers in their first win of the season over Asbury University.
Other key components for the Tigers are juniors, Kelly Moyer, Caitlin Dresing and Giselle Hernandez. Lone senior, Laura DeGear is also a big threat to opposing teams come game day. Sophomore, Tara Robertson is likely to make a statement this year too, she saw limited action as a freshman.
A few new faces for the Tigers have already made their mark in completion, however. Freshman, Kira Stewart had a monster night in her first game for CU, 29 assists and one ace. Rinata Alsena, Haley Bechtel, and Jana Kortas are all names to get familiar with, these three are already showing great strides for CU and the future can only get brighter. Bechtel and Kortas are both freshman, Alsena is a junior.
Campbellsville University Volleyball plays all of their home matches in the Powell Athletic Center on campus of Campbellsville University. For more information on Tiger Volleyball, visit www.campbellsvilletigers.com.

Police offer some unorthodox advice on smoking pot at home, after recreational marijuana possession becomes legal in one US state.
12:40, UK, Thursday 06 December 2012
A new law on recreational marijuana use has come into force in Washington state, allowing smokers to light up at home but not in public.
The authorities issued their own advice - with a light touch - via the official Seattle Police Blotter on the dos and don'ts of rolling a joint.
"Does this mean you should flagrantly roll up a mega-spliff and light up in the middle of the street? No.
"But the police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a Lord of the Rings marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."
Even so some users celebrated the new law by gathering at midnight to smoke in public beneath Seattle's Space Needle.
Others partied outside the headquarters of Hempfest, the 21-year-old festival that attracts tens of thousands of pot fans every summer.
"This is a big day because all our lives we've been living under the iron curtain of prohibition," said Hempfest director Vivian McPeak.
"The whole world sees that prohibition just took a body blow."
But after a short grace period, Seattle police officers are now under orders to tell smokers to "take it inside".
Washington's new law decriminalises possession of up to an ounce for those over 21, but for now selling marijuana remains illegal.
The state has a year to come up with a system of state-licensed growers, processors and retail stores, and it will levy a 25% tax at each stage.
It could mean hundreds of millions of dollars a year in revenue for schools, health care and basic government functions.
However, an ongoing federal ban means agents can still arrest people for possession, which remains illegal at federal properties, including military bases and national parks.
The US Justice Department has not said whether it will sue to try to block the new laws in Washington and Colorado, which also voted to legalise recreational use from January 5.
Midnight in Washington also saw dozens of same-sex couples obtaining marriage licences.
The state joined several others that already allow gays and lesbians to wed after last month's vote.

Laguna Woods City Manager Leslie Keane was injured early Friday in an accident while driving an electric scooter on Moulton Parkway near El Toro Road, Sheriff's Department officials said.
Keane, 64, was driving the scooter on the sidewalk on southbound Moulton Parkway when the accident occurred at 8:41 a.m., Lt. Lloyd Downing said. Downing said Keane drove onto a driveway and hit a curb on Moulton.
"Witnesses said she looked to be wobbling just before impact," Downing said. "There may have been a malfunction with the scooter, or maybe she lost control of the vehicle."
Downing said there were no other parties involved. Keane was bleeding from the mouth and nose and was taken to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo for facial injuries and an injured right arm, he said.
"She's banged up pretty good," said City Councilman Bert Hack, who visited Keane at the hospital Friday afternoon.
Keane was arrested on Dec. 21 on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was later charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or more. An arraignment hearing is set for April 16.

The Phoenix Mercury avenged its only home loss this season, smashing the San Antonio Stars, 90-61 Sunday at US Airways Center, to extend its franchise-record 10-game winning streak.
The first-place Mercury (16-3) shot 64 percent from the floor in the first half and 54 percent for the game, compared with 39 for the Stars (11-11), who won at US Airways Center, 78-74, May 23. San Antonio also had led the WNBA in three-point shooting, but was held to 3-of-17 Sunday.
"We were a little more prepared," said Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner. "We changed the starting lineup since we played them, so I think it was an all-around team win, we had a lot of assists in there and pushed the ball really well."
The game was tied at 14-14 before a 15-2 run ensued in the first-and-second quarters. The lead swelled to 52-32 at halftime and 68-43 after the third.
The Mercury was led with Candice Dupree's game-high 19 points, while Penny Taylor and Brittney Griner each scored 10. Despite sitting out the fourth quarter, Diana Taurasi just missed recording the fifth triple-double in league history, with nine points, eight rebounds and eight assists.
"I knew……," Taurasi paused and smirked about possibly achieving a triple-double. "In a game like that, if you don't get it, it's all good. Today we had really good performances, so we just need everyone to put a little bit more into the pot. To see everyone else play really well is good for us, this team is really relaxed in a lot of ways."
Phoenix's bench accounted for a season-high 38 points, with a high of 13 from Erin Phillips, who executed a four-point play with a minute remaining in the third quarter.
"I was just shooting when I was open and shooting with confidence," Phillips said. "We just need to keep playing our roles. We've just started getting into a nice rhythm, we played them early on in the season, we're really starting to know how each other plays, and our chemistry on the court really shows."
While Taurasi mentioned she was disappointed that Argentina lost in the World Cup Final, the Australian Phillips said she was motivated with having Michele Timms in the audience, who played in three Olympics with head coach Sandy Bronello.
"I thought she had really good poise tonight, and she's a deadly shooter when she gets that open," Brondello said of Phillips.
Kayla Alexander led the Stars with 11 points, Shenise Johnson scored 10, and Danielle Adams and Jayne Appel each grabbed seven rebounds with six points.
The Mercury turns right around with another home game at 7 p.m. Tuesday versus the Washington Mystics (ESPN2). It also hosts Connecticut at the same time Thursday before hosting the All-Star Game Saturday. The Stars' next game is at Tulsa Thursday.
"We just need to prepare for them," Bonner said of the Mystics. "They're playing really well right now, they just came off a win, we'll be ready."

A True ACCOUNT of the BEHAVIOUR, CONFESSION, AND Last Dying SPEECHES, Of the Criminals that were Executed at TYBURN, On Wednesday the 24th of January, 1694.
THe Ordinary visited the Condemned Criminals, being 16, whereof were 12 men, and 4 women, every day till the time of Execution.
On the Lords day, he preacht on this Text in the forenoon, viz. the fourth verse of the 1st Chapter of Amos: Thus saith the Lord, Seek ye me, and you shall live. Whence four general heads were insisted on.
1. Wherein doth the sincere seeking of God consist.
2. The excellency of this comprehensive duty.
3. In what ways must we seek the Face or Favour of the Lord.
4. Rules or directions in seeking him, so as to obtain an interest in him.
1. Seek God not immediately in himself, as your mee Creator, for since mans degeneracy from his primitive Integrity in an holy state, the bare Relation of a Creature, as defiled with sin, will not intitle you to divine Mercy. The Lord is a consuming fire to all the workers of Iniquity. But a Sun of refreshment and a Shield of defence only to the upright in heart. Christ only can attemperate and allay the super-excelling brightness of the divine Majesty, that it may not strike Consternation into us, but rather give us a comfortable aspect of Gods infinite excellencies, so as to transform us into an holy state, and to make our addresses to God acceptable.
2. Seek the Lord by vigorous acts of Faith in all Spiritual services, and by an intire resignation of your selves, to his preceptive and providential will, in every state and condition of Life.
3. In renewing your Covenant of Obedience, by Repentance joyn'd with a stricter watchfulness over your hearts, after wandring from God, by relapsing into any sin.
4. Delight in this main duty of seeking the Lord sincerely; because the souls only of such shall live, by thevivacity of spiritual comfort in all distresses; yea, shall reign with the Lord in the Life of eternal blessedness.
To seek God aright, is to abide with him, in an awful reverence of him, for his very goodness, in forbearing to consume us for our remissness in serving him. We must not only exercise a close dependency upon his All-sufficiency to fulfill our desires in praying; but must out of a complacential Love, conform to his holy will in universal Self-denyal, so as to express an infinite satisfaction, in seeking and serving him without satiety.
How great Contempt and Ingratitude is this, when the Lord is so mindful of us, as to visit us continually with the remembrances of his tenderest mercies: yet we wander from God, because we have lost the Government of our hearts, and affections, so that these settle on vain objects, and forsake the Lord, the fountain of Life and Blessedness. Consider, that the Lord at present waits to be gracious, but he will not follow us, with the offers of Life and Salvation, if we trifle with him and them. Therefore neglect not the proper seasons of Grace and Mercy. Let all your services flow from a renewed conscience, that they may be constant and delightsome. Then you may behold the Face of God, so as to unriddle all divine mysteries, you may fetch satisfaction from the Lord in all doubtful cases, and contentment of mind, under every afflictive dismal providence. Yet how remiss and careless are most men in seeking and serving the Lord, as if this were not the purport and comfort of their life.
The Conclusion was thus directed to the Condemned.
How have you consumed your years in Vanity? Do not suffer your lifes, now ready to expire, to be lost in eternal darkness for want of trimming these Lamps with a sincere address to God, that he would sanctify your distresses. Strive the rather for this, because you have long liv'd ignorant of God, and the true design of your being. Is not this properly to live, to serve the Lord in newness of Spirit? What should cause you to count this grievous? Is it not the Seed time of endless Joy and Happiness? If you prize life, return to the fold of Righteousness. Sacrifice your lusts by the mortifying acts of godly sorrow for offending a graclous God, that you may obey the commands of Christ with greater freedom and alacrity. Is not such Love to him the consulting of your own happiness? yet how late and slight is your Repentance? How slack and feeble your Obedience, how partial your Self-denial in mortifying the love of your Lusts. Therefore so seek happiness in Christ, as to acknowledge and imbrace him, to become your only Lord and Lawgiver, equally as you desire him to be your tender-hearted Saviour and Redeemer. Be convinced of this, that the Lord searches the heart, and receives services, not by their number, but their wight of seriousness and sincerity. Do not therefore deceive your selves, in counting this to be an hearty ingenious choice of amendment of life, which is out of constraint, now that death surprizes you with its terrors. Such seeking of God is trifling Hypocrisy, if your sensual Lusts still reign in your hearts. Prepare therefore your selves to fulfill the Will of the Lord in the latitude of it. Let your hearts be ready to break, in a fervent longing to observe his commands in the universality of their obedience, with vigor of delight. A sincere heart will follow hard after God, tho at present he hide his face, as esteeming the disposition of fearing him before his smiles, if this may promote a circumspect conversation. The Lord will prepare great rewards for such, who seek him in sincerity: But where Holiness is not exalted in its power, Satan will take a deeper and firmer possession without suspicion. Let therefore your addresses to God transform you into an imitation of his divine perfections. Do not persist to pour out the strength of your souls on your abominable lusts, so as to cleave to these, in dying. Get all the corrupt affectiens of your souls purged out, so shall a supernatural resemblance of the Deity be instampt upon you, to delight in seeking and serving him, as the essence of your blessedness. Thus, after your godly sorrowing for all your wandrings from the paths of righteousness, Christ will conduct you thorow the sharpest agonies of death, to the fold of heavenly felicity. In this state he will secure you against any temptation, of remitting your delight in him. You shall obtain infinite satisfaction in the injoyment of him: for at his right hand divine pleasures overflow, in the perfect beatifying vision of his Favor, transcending the widest capacities of the soul throughout all the progressive ages of Eternity.
I proceed to give you an Account of the Behaviour and Confessions of the Condemned Criminals.
1. William Day, alias Trooper Will, Condemned for Felony and Burglary, aged 30 years: He was brought up with his Father, in Husbandry : He furnisht him with a Stock to become a Grasier , which employment he followed some years, and added
means to his first Stock. But upon Losses in Trading and contracting Debts besides, he went into Ireland on Military Service , to reduce the Rebels there to their due obedience. Where he continued till being reduced to poverty, he returned into England, and entered himself into a Regiment under our present Kings Service, and was sometime in Flanders. But falling sick he came back to England, and intended to have returned to Flanders, on the Campaign before the last, but was prevented by sickness for the space of almost a year. He hath been inticed to lead an irregular life, and joined with bad Company, being acquainted with Lawrence Nozzel condemned now with him, for robbing the Lady Allen. He denies not that he was present in the House when it was robb'd; yet says he had no part of the prey, and that he was very civil to the Lady, and preserved her life, those who robbed her designing to have murthered her. He repents that he join'd in the said Burglary, and confest that he had taken to evil courses. He acknowledged, that God was just in bringing him to publick shame and punishment for many sins which he had committed against the checks of his conscience, and vows of amendment; particularly he confest that he did not observe the Lords day, that sometimes he swore in passion, and drank in excess. He wept and seem'd penitent, and was tractable to good counsel in order to his preparation for death, having no hope of any Reprieve, and promised that he would declare his repentance more particularly at the Place of Suffering, thereby to warn others against evil courses, that they might not bring on themselves the like destruction.
II. Lawrence Nozzel, Condemned with William Day, alias Trooper Will, for committing the aforesaid Robbery and Burglary, aged 59 years. He was born at Finchly, by Trade a Butcher , and held a Farm for some time. He pretended to me, that he left off his Employment because trading grew dead, and he had contracted debts. He was so impenitent, that he would not acknowledge any sin, being ignorant in matters of Religion; such commonly are most obstinate.
III. Dorothy Barnet, Condemned for murthering her Female Infant Bastard, aged 30 years, was born in Hampshire. She confest, that she had gone on in a sinful course of life, yet exprest few particulars thereof; only, that she kept not the Sabbath as she ought. That she seldom prayed, that God would give her grace to resist the evil inclinations of her heart, for which, and other sins, he justly left her to be overcome by the impure sollicitations of her Master, who, she said, was a Gardner, who took no care to provide for her, nor the Child. She pretended that it was stilborn, but it appeared otherwise at her Tryal, viz. That she drowned it in a Brewing Vessel full of water. She was little sensible of her barbarous crime, nor of any other sin, but remained stupid, as very ignorant in the concernments of Religion.
IV. Jane Croucher, Formerly condemned, but was respited from suffering death, as being with Child, yet now her time in that case being fulfilled, she was called to her former judgment, and ordered with Grace Dempsey and Margaret Palmer, under the like condemnation to prepare for their Execution, with the rest who are to suffer this Session.
Jane Croucher said, that she is 24 years of Age, that she was born in Surrey, that she had been in several Services in London, but she quitted some, as counting that she had not wages to her content; that she was turn'd away by other Mistresses, because she was stubborn. She was condemned for robbing of her last Mistress, who lived near to Doctors Commons; she said that a young man, whose name is Mitchel, tempted her to let him with others into the House, that she repented of this fact, and all other sins of her life, which provok'd God to suffer her to commit this crime, for which she is condemned.
V. Grace Dempsey, formerly Condemned, and now not being with Child, ordered to be executed, aged 26 years; she was born in Carlile, she hath lived 13 years in London, but gave no account of her behaviour in several Services. She acknowledged that she lately followed bad Company, who tempted her to commit the Robbery and that she shared with them. She said that she was born of honest and creditable Parents, but followed not their good Counsel. She confest that she had many ways dishonoured God, and neglected Religious Duties, but now she is troubled for former impieties, and begs Gods pardon for them.
VI. Margaret Palmer, formerly condemned and now not being with Child ordered to be executed. Aged 21 years; born at Middrington in Glocestershire; she confest that she had committed all sorts of sins, murder only excepted; she did not deny the Crime for which she is Condemned, but wept, saying, that she was prevail'd upon to commit it, because she did not pray against it. She was Servant to Grace Dempsey.
VII. Eliz-Hartly, Condemned for clipping the Current Money of this Nation: But being pregnant she is respited for a time from death. This hath made her so secure, that she came not with other Criminals, to receive good Instructions, but hath absented her self from Prayer ever since her Condemnation. So that I cannot give any account of her evil life, but must leave her to the Judgment of God.
VIII. John Norris, Condemned for stealing 100 pounds weight of Sope, aged 0 years; Born in Cripplegate Parish. He went to Ireland and Newcastle on several Voyages. He served the late King James. He was at Sea this Summer, in our present Kings Service, but was discharged for stealing the Captain of the Ships Sword, five Months since. He was not so obliging to his Parents as he ought to have been. He was used to play at Cards and Dice on the Lords-day. He says that he is sorry for his sins, and willing to dye, if his peace may be made with God by Repentance.

He is about 14 years of age, was born in West-Chester, was Prentice to a Butcher , but left his Service, to follow lewd Company.

On Wednesday the 24th of January, these seven persons were conveyed in three Carts to Tyburne, viz. Lawrence Nozzel, Will. Day, alias Trooper Will. Richard Oates, Dorothy Barret, Jane Croucher, Grace Dempsey, Margaret Palmer, where being come they were all tied up to the Gallows, after which they were severally exhorted to be penitent, and to look for Salvation only in and thro the merits of Christ, &c. Nozzel denied that he was any ways concerned in the Robbery with Will. Day, alias Trooper Will. and the rest that committed the great Burglary in the House of Madam Allen, at Muzzle-hill; but Trooper Will being tied up just by him said, You was the first Man that contrived and set the Robbery. Indeed I cant say you were in the House, but you were there; and don't you remember you sent to Will. Reynolds to come and commit the Robbery, &c. Says Nozzel again, I think you are mad, why should you say so: I am as innocent as the Child in the Mothers Womb. Trooper Will gave him a soft answer, and applied himself to Prayer, after which he spake further these words, I am concerned for one Mr. Holland, who is now a Prisoner in Newgate, because he is accused for a Robbery that he knows nothing of; for that which he stands accused for, I my self, and Kitt Pickering did do and commit; and therefore I desire he may be made acquainted with it, and that the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor may know he is innocent, that he may be cleared from Imprisonment. Gentlemen, I have been guilty of many Robberies on the High-way. I hope you will all take warning by my untimely end.
Dorothy Barnet, was refractory, and somewhat stubborn in Newgate, but when she came to Tyburne she was more pensive, and readily confest the fact of murdering her Bastard Child.
Richard Oates, was a poor ignorant creature, very sick; when he came to die, he freely acknowledged that he stole all 3 of the Horses he was executed for.
Jane Croucher, Grace Dempsey, and Margaret Palmer, who were heretofore condemned for Burglary, and respited by vertue of pleading their Bllies; but now the time being past they were executed. They all three much lamented and bemoned the sad effects of their sinful life, wishing all the Spectators to take timely warning by their sad examples, crying out to God for the pardon of their sins.
The Ordinary prayed with them in his own Prayers, and in the Prayers of the Church; and they all profest to die in the Christian Faith. After which, they had a convenient time given them to pray for themselves, and then the Cart drew away, and they were all committed to the Mercy of Almighty God.
This is all the Account I can give of this Sessions, Licensed, January, 25th.
Sam. Smith, Ordinary.

I was checking out the Grammy website to see just how little I know about the nominees. Yes, I know, loyal reader. As a music writer, I should know about the Grammy nominees. Sorry to disappoint you. Pop is just not my bag, baby. After checking out the list of nominees, I have these questions.
- Led Zeppelin is nominated for a Grammy? For "Kashmir"? Ummmm...Dear Grammy people, you do know this is 2014. Right? And that this song was recorded 40 years ago? So, the band that you've ignored for more than 40 years gets some recognition now? I realize that it was nominated because of Celebration Day, but even that was released in 2012. So the question remains: why is Led Zeppelin nominated for a Grammy for "Kashmir" in 2014?
- Would anyone have paid attention to "Blurred Lines" if it weren't for the video?
- What made "Royals" such a popular song? I know it just sounds like I'm being a hater. However, I've heard the song and for me it is completely indistinguishable from any other pop song recorded by a teenage girl.
- Grammys are awarded in 82 categories? Does this seem excessive to anyone else?
- What makes one electronic album better than another? Does that just mean that one person is more adept than another with a laptop?
