RIDGECREST — The Burroughs boys basketball team hung tough with Silverado for most of the 36-minute game, but a lapse at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter let the Hawks leave Ridgecrest with a 65-49 win Wednesday in the Burroughs Barn.
"When it comes right down to it, we're young and that is the difference between us winning and losing," BHS Coach Doug Hayes said. "It was not because of talent level. They are very quick, but they've also been playing together for a while, so they know where to go and what to do.
"We still have flashes of being very, very young in what we do on the floor. When we continue to have those flashes, it's hard to come back, but we never stopped challenging them, which is a good sign."
An 18-2 run by the Hawks during the second and third quarters, gave the team the cushion it needed to get the victory after the Burros had cut the lead to four with under a minute remaining until halftime.
Silverado wing player Gerardo Muro hit two of his five 3-pointers in the game to close the half, which opened up the lead to 10 at 28-18.
"Right at the end of the half and the beginning of the third quarter, we have to know where we are on the shot clock and on the game clock," Hayes said. "You go from being down four to being down 10 because of a couple of bad choices.
"The third quarter, to get things rolling wasn't good either, but for most of the game, we valued our possessions and made good choices with the basketball."
Burroughs had only eight turnovers in the game, which gave them a shot to get back in the contest. The Hawks opened up a 20-point advantage in the third quarter, but Burroughs hung in.
An 11-2 run by the Burros to open the fourth quarter put the score at 52-41 midway through the period. Tyron Jones hit two 3-point opportunities, Justin Aichlmayr made another 3-point try and Calvin Martin added a two-point basket to give the Burros a shot of coming back late in the game. Soon after, however, Silverado guard Kristen Keys took over.
Keys scored nine of the last 12 Hawk points to lead his team to the win.
"They got three kids on that team that have been starting since they were sophomores," Hayes said of Silverado. "We're in a different boat than they are. That's just the way things are. We're going to get better and we're going to continue to improve and we're going to get more experience. When we do, we'll be a lot better than we are right now."
Hayes said Michael Polman had an excellent night at the point guard position for the Burros. He's started to handle pressure much better over the last couple of games, led the team with 15 points and created shots for others, which Hayes would like to see more of.
Page 2 of 2 - "If we can get him to continue to do those things, we can be pretty good," Hayes said. "But we have to remember too that it took Nam (Trinh) a long time to make that progression. When Nam was a sophomore, he didn't play very much, like Michael did last year. It takes a while, but you can see it improving. You can see that pressure doesn't bother him nearly as much."
Hayes said Calvin Martin had a good night rebounding. He had 13 boards on the night to go with six points. Jones was a bright spot off the bench, scoring nine points on 3-of-6 shooting. Jon Kauppi played an extremely solid second half. Kauppi had only four points, but had four assists, four rebounds and a steal as well in a very active night for the senior.
"We did some things better than we have been," Hayes said. "I thought Kauppi played a solid game tonight. We had some conversations in practice this week, and hopefully, they sunk in."
The Burros move on play Victor Valley at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Burroughs Barn.

Aubrey Dawkins did a little bit of everything in the third quarter Friday night as visiting Palo Alto raced to a 20-point lead.
But the night didn't end early for Dawkins as Homestead charged back in the closing minutes against Palo Alto's reserves to close to within single digits.
Palo Alto ultimately held off the long-distance shooting Mustangs to win the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division game 77-63.
With his dad, Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins, watching from the stands, Dawkins finished with 26 points -- 15 in the third quarter.
The younger Dawkins said "it's always fun" having his dad at a game.
"A littler nervous sometimes, but I get over it," he said.
There were few nerves for Palo Alto (13-1, 4-0 league) when the 6-foot-5 Dawkins and the Vikings' regulars were on the court Friday. They moved the ball well, created good shots and were simply too much for Homestead.
But it was by no means a perfect performance.
"I thought we started off pretty well," Palo Alto coach Adam Sax said. "We played pretty hard at the start, pressured the ball. We were rebounding well, got some transition baskets. But we lost a little energy in the second half."
And Homestead's shooters got hot -- really hot.
Held to 16 points through the first two quarters, the Mustangs made six 3-pointers and scored 25 points in the third quarter. They added three more 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to finish the game with 11.
But even as Homestead (6-9, 1-2) started burying shots from beyond the arc, Palo Alto still led by 17 entering the final quarter and by 20 when Kenny Jones converted a three-point play.
Homestead went on a 17-6 run and cut Palo Alto's lead to 67-58 with 2:43 left. Sax then summoned Dawkins and the other starters from the bench, and they closed out the Vikings' 11th consecutive victory,
"We played well together," Dawkins said. "We didn't shoot the ball necessarily that well, but we played good defense."
Dawkins scored many of his points on soft jumpers, fast breaks and alley-oops. He also skied high for rebounds, passed well and had a couple of steals.
"My 3s weren't falling, but I still found a way to score," he said.
Troy Whitford led Homestead with 22 points.
Burlingame 63, Capuchino 18: Senior guard Connor Haupt netted 22 points, 15 on 3-pointers, and the Panthers held the Mustangs to just eight second-half points.
Girls basketball
Wilcox 54, Los Gatos 37: Caitlin Brown had 19 points, including four 3-pointers, and Joesetta Fatuesi added 14 points to lead the Chargers (14-1, 2-1) past the Wildcats (5-10, 1-3) in a SCVAL De Anza Division game.
Eastside Prep 42, Sacred Heart Prep 40: Forward Hashima Carothers scored 22 points as the Panthers (9-5, 1-1 West Bay Foothill Division) edged the Gators (11-3, 0-2). Guard Melissa Holland led Sacred Heart with 16 points.
Girls soccer
Los Gatos 4, Gunn 1: McKenzie Flood scored a goal and had two assists as the visiting Wildcats (9-1-1, 4-0) remained undefeated in SCVAL De Anza Division play.

All I need is for them to take about 20-40 yards out of the middle of the field. Maybe make it just a little narrower as well -- not much.
But yeah, World Cup every 2 years (men and women) is enough for me.

The 10 Most Fattening Foods of the Summer
They're not just a tasty snack—cukes are loaded with water, which helps fight bloat, says nutrition expert Joy Bauer, RD, author of The Joy Fit Club. Basically, the more water you take in without fiber, the more you pee. And the more you pee, the flatter your stomach feels.
Just like cucumbers, watermelon is loaded with, uh, water, which fights bloat, says Bauer. Its also less than 100 calories per large wedge, and surprisingly isnt loaded with sugar (oh, and it tastes delish).

Postcard mailed during WWII arrives at NY home
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 12:38 p.m.
ELMIRA, N.Y. - A postcard mailed nearly 70 years ago has finally arrived at the former upstate New York home of the couple who sent it.
The postcard was sent July 4, 1943, from Rockford, Ill., to sisters Pauline and Theresa Leisenring in Elmira (el-MY'-ruh).
Their brother, George Leisenring, was stationed at Rockford's Medical Center Barracks at Camp Grant, an Army post during World War II. Their parents were visiting him when they mailed the postcard home.
The postcard reads in part, "Dear Pauline and Theresa, We arrived safe, had a good trip, but we were good and tired."
Elmira's Star-Gazette newspaper reports (http://stargaz.tt/R2Ou5H ) the postcard arrived last week at the family's former home, where a different family now lives.
A postal official says the postcard may have been found by someone outside the postal service and placed in the mail.

Drake Rhodes didn�t waste any time adjusting from football season to wrestling season.
The Bayfield High School senior opened the wrestling calendar Saturday with four consecutive wins and the 138-pound title at the annual Dove Creek Invitational.
�He never had a kid score on him, and he pinned his kid in the finals,� Bayfield head coach Todd McMenimen said.
�He performed beyond what I expected,� McMenimen said. �He was, by far, our outstanding performer.�
Rhodes was an all-conference receiver on Bayfield�s football team that made a run to the state semifinals before losing to Platte Valley.
�Drake looked great. He never looked like he got tired out there,� said McMenimen, who added the Wolverines only took seven wrestlers to Dove Creek because of a variety of illness and injuries � plus a late start because of the long football season.
Bayfield�s Colter McMenimen finished third in the 132-pound bracket at Dove Creek. He had a pin and two technical falls.
Michael Goodman of Bayfield went 2-2 and finished third at 195 pounds.
Bayfield�s Jon Roberts went 3-2 and finished fourth at 170 pounds.
�We didn�t figure into the team scoring with only seven wrestlers,� coach McMenimen said.
�In your first match, you don�t know what to expect. But all things considered, I thought we performed pretty well.�
The Wolverines will wrestle at the Bloomfield Invitational next Friday and Saturday.

The mechanics trade is shrinking. Fewer young people are entering this essential skilled trade, while older mechanics are retiring.
Part of the problem is our secondary school system. There's too much emphasis on four-year colleges at the expense of vocational education. If a guidance counselor finds a student with little or no interest in academic pursuits, one who would rather be tinkering with his car, you'd expect the counselor to guide the student toward vocational training at a trade school or community college.
But if the student tells his parents that he's been advised not to go to university, the parents often berate the principal for not properly motivating and preparing the student for a "real career." Then the principal dresses down the counselor, who becomes reluctant to guide other students into trades that suit them.
Never mind that people who are skilled with their hands often make as much or more than those with master's degrees. Or that vocational tuition may be one-tenth that of academic degrees. And never mind that the young person enjoys working with his or her hands.
You can help change that mind-set while ensuring staffing needs are met on an ongoing basis. Work with secondary schools, in conjunction with community colleges, to promote manual arts training. Support national organizations and use them as a fertile recruiting ground.
Meet with guidance counselors and industrial arts faculty members. Stress the necessity of having a strong cadre of maintenance professionals to keep our economy running. Tell them that, just like other career paths, mechanics require ongoing training in many disciplines. Mention the earning power that skilled mechanics have. Compare the costs of obtaining a post-secondary education at a university with one at a community college or trade school.
Significant income starts from two to six years sooner in industrial arts. Taking time and tuition loan repayment into account, a discounted cash flow analysis shows the mechanic ahead of the college graduate until around age 50. (A discounted cash flow analysis takes into account the present value of money: At 5% interest on a loan, the value of $100 today is $100, but if you have to wait a year for it, it is only worth $95 today.) Add in the uncertainty of job stability that's exacerbated during economic downturns, and a maintenance career path becomes even more attractive.
To attract future employees, set up internships and tuition reimbursement programs in your shop. If unionized, coordinate with union leaders to make sure they see this as a tie-in with their own apprenticeship programs and an opportunity for mutual benefit.
An excellent way to identify and attract the best and brightest is to get involved with SkillsUSA (www.skillsusa.org), a nonprofit group that supports industrial and manual arts training in almost 100 careers. One of its most comprehensive programs is diesel equipment technology.
The organization's local, state, and national competitions have contestants cycle through 14 testing stations involving engines, electronics, wiring chassis, drive train, hydraulic systems, brakes, and more. Sponsorship opportunities abound. For very little cost, you can provide vehicles, volunteer judges, meals, or materials. What better way to make a positive impact on future candidates?

A railroad worker is lucky to be alive after an early morning incident that pinned him under a rail car.
It happened at approximately 2:20 a.m., July 9 at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail yards, West of Fair Street in Wellington.
"Upon arrival we found BNSF employee pinned under rail car with critical injuries to the lower extremities," reads a press release from the Wellington Fire and EMS Department. "Paramedics began medical care while a determination was made how to extricate the individual from under the wheels of the rail car." It is believed that the pinned individual ended up losing both legs.
"BNSF employee Blaine Zeka was instrumental in assisting with the 45 minute extrication," the fire department said. "The patient was transported to SRMC helipad for transport by Eagle Med Helicopter to St. Francis in Wichita."

A great free alternative to MS Office. I have Keynote, and Pages, and prefer those for the tasks they were made for, but I use OOO for spreadsheet work, and CSV editing. However, once (if?) Apple release a spreadsheet app (Numbers?) I'll probably go to that and get rid of OOO.
Experimenting with this... very impressed. It opened a complicated file from Windows PowerPoint that consistently crashed the current version of Mac PowerPoint!

Android's Google Now Feature Comes to iPhone
With an update to its search app Google intelligent search system Google Now is now available for the iPhone.
It doesn't have as deep of an integration with the operating system like it does on Android, but this Google Now version does offer a taste of one of the smartest features on Android.
Here's how it works: You synchronize your Google account to it, and using a mix of your behavior and presence on Google, it will automatically serve up things like traffic results and flight information. They're served up as "cards" in the app, and you can swipe them away once you're done with them.
Google has slowly been adding a lot of its top Android services to the iPhone in the form of apps, one of the most recent of which coming in the form of Google Maps Apple replaced Google's mapping app with what many considered was an inferior version.
And it seems like Google is growing more and more to be the owner of some of the best services on the Web, like Gmail, Google Maps and Google Search. And today, Google Now is available on the iPhone.
For example, Google Maps is ranked in the top-15 apps on Apple, according to AppData. So is YouTube, and Gmail is ranked near the top 50 apps in the Apple App Store.

Sheilamf I researched and booked Valentino Apartments and Studios, in Bali, Crete on the Internet. I have been to Bali before and was aware of the location and accommodation ratings before booking. On arrival we were met by Christos who assisted us to our top floor apartment and showed us around. We had a choice of a balcony and terrace with stunning panoramic views of the village, mountain range and sea. We were greeted by his wife, Nikki, who presented us with a plate of home made baking and the couple were very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is traditional in decor giving you that Cretan feel, clean and homely with all the amenties required and everything stated on the site was accurate. It was cleaned everyday when we were out, towels and linen were changed when needed, running hot water all day which is unusual for traditional properties, air-conditioning included in the price and the furniture and bedding was comfortable. The location of the property is in the traditional part of the village on a high setting with several steps to climb, therefore would not recommend for people with walking or breathing problems, but if you take your time it can be done with ease. We had a hired car from the airport and parking is available across from the property or around the back road leading to Evita Bay. I would definately rebook Valentino Apartments and Studios again on my next visit to Bali, Crete regardless of the steps as everything else was perfect and exceeded our expectations.

There were 60 bookings at the San Joaquin County Jail in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Tuesday. At that time, there were 1,490 people held at the jail, which has an official capacity of 1,411. When the jail is full, some inmates may be released early.
Assault: A cane-wielding assailant struck a 59-year-old bicycle rider eight times near the San Joaquin County Courthouse shortly before 3 p.m. Monday before fleeing the area, police reported. The attack took place at San Joaquin Street and Weber Avenue. The assailant was described as an Asian man 25 to 30 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 170 pounds with a mustache and shoulder-length black hair, last seen wearing a gray tank top and dark sweatpants.
Armed robbery: A 21-year-old man was walking in the 3600 block of EWS Woods Boulevard in Weston Ranch about 9:45 p.m. Monday when he was approached by two robbers, one of whom was armed with a handgun, police reported. The gunman took a cellphone and some jewelry before both robbers fled east on foot, according to a report.
Stolen property: Stockton police arrested Alvaro Contreras, 34, on suspicion of possession of stolen property that included six Stockton Ports hats, a jersey and a camera from the Pro Shop at the Stockton Ballpark on Tuesday morning.

It's Night 3 of sudden-death rounds on "American Idol" and the big story is Zoanette Johnson.
Yes, the same woman who butchered the national anthem during her initial tryouts. And the same woman who, in Hollywood, did some crazed, erratic drum-bashing thing that surely prompted many viewers to wonder what the judges had in those Diet Coke cups when they gave her another pass.
But, of course, the Zoanette show would surely hit a road block in Vegas. The big-voiced, wild-haired, unpredictable woman from Liberia just couldn't go on, right?
Wrong. Zoanette Johnson is part of your "American Idol" Top 20." It's true. I'll give you a moment to let that sink in ...
Zoanette got there by taking the stage last on Wednesday night and bellowing out a version of Elton John's "Circle of Life" from "The Lion King" that was part song, part tornado, and 100 percent emotion.
It wasn't exactly a masterful piece of art, but it had the crowd roaring and the judges dazed.
"Forget the king of the jungle," raved Keith Urban. "Kudos to the queen of the jungle."
Nicki Minaj, who was moved to tears, told Ms. Z, "You just served it. You're unforgettable. You're a superstar. ..."
Added Mariah Carey, "It's almost like your spirit is too big to be contained."
It will be interesting to see if America's voters will be as kind to Zoanette as our four arbiters have been. It's clear, though, that she commands the stage.
Advancing along with Zoanette were Candice Glover, who retained her status as an early favorite with a sparkling performance of Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" that wowed the judges, and country singer Janelle Arthur who fell a bit flat on Lady Antebellum's "Just a Kiss," but apparently had built up enough good will with the judges to squeak by.
They'll be joined in the Top 20 by Aubrey Cleland and Breanna Steer, two contestants who hadn't gotten much camera time until now, but made a great big impression.
Cleland's take on Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams" had all the judges talking about her contemporary commercial appeal and Mariah deeming her vocal ability "limitless."
Steer showcased a strong, confident voice on Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows" that excited all the judges, especially Nicki.
"You had your swag on," she blurted. "You're giving me sexy on a stick right now."
Among those who saw their "Idol" journey come to an end were Melinda Ademi, who was a bit wobbly on Jessie J's "Nobody's Perfect," and Jett Hermano who didn't quite connect with the judges on a slowed-down version of Rihanna's "Only Girl (In The World)."
Also leaving the party were raspy-voiced Cristabel Clack (Alicia Keys' "No One"), Rachel Hale (Grace Potter's "Nothing But the Water"), Juliana Chahayed (Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper")
"Idol"'s sudden-death phase continues on Thursday as 10 more guys sing for their lives.

Drivers made their way to work Thursday morning under the cover of heavy fog.
Causeway police instituted rolling convoys for the southbound lanes of the causeway around 5:30 a.m. Thursday. Northbound lanes were restricted to the right lane only, with a 45 mph speed limit.
Heavy rain Wednesday also made for slick roads on the morning commute.
It's recommended drivers avoid using high beams during the fog and make sure to check to see if all lights are working on their vehicles before heading out.

Knitter's Review
December 11, 2003
Although knitted bookmarks, bikinis, and cell phone cozies all have their place in our delicate knitting ecosystem, sometimes we have the urge to take our knitting off-road and tackle greater challenges.

Year-End Gift and Challenge
We're in week two of our annual fundraiser for the
Heifer Foundation
This innovative nonprofit group helps families in 115 countries move toward self-sufficiency by giving them breeding livestock. Families spend a year in training and agree to pass on the first female animal offspring and their own know-how to other needy families—in essence, the gift of one animal helps transform an entire community.
Last year the Knitter's Review community (that's us!) raised more than $1,280 for the group, which translates into the gift of four llamas and six sheep to deserving families around the world. I'll kick things off by donating the gift of a sheep on behalf of Knitter's Review.

One wonders what kind of political impact THIS will have:
The conservative editorial page of The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday called on Republican "backbenchers" in the House of Representatives to abandon their pipe dream of defunding or delaying Obamacare.
While it seems obvious that President Barack Obama will not sign a continuing resolution that guts his signature legislative achievement, leaders of the defunding movement like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint have assured their supporters that they aren't chasing a quixotic goal. That pursuit is raising the risk of a government shutdown, and the Journal ...

Hello Athletic Teams!
My name is Nicole. I am 22 and certified by American Fitness Professionals and Associates (AFPA) in Beginner/Intermediate Mat Pilates.
Athletes everywhere can agree with me that injuries are prone to happen. Many injuries occur because the lack of emphasis on stretching. I have played softball from the age of about 5 to 17. Throughout the years I have endured days of icing injured limbs, sprained ankles, strained arms, back/knee injuries, the list just goes on.
When leaving Softball I gained some weight and started to really feel the aftermath of past injuries coming back taking a toll on my body at the age of 18. I tried running and workout videos to shed some pounds but noticed my muscles continuing to strain and bring me pain. Luckily I came across Pilates!
Pilates gave me back my strength. I learned how to heal my injuries and learned the difference between straining vs. strengthening/stretching. I learned that the abdominal muscles are the core to all movement in the body. I felt how it feels to direct blood flow to all areas of the body. I gained flexibility, body/mind control, balance, and correct muscle strengthening and the only thing needed was a Mat and my body!
I want to bring injury prevention and strength training to all sports. I am currently available for team body awareness and strength training. Your team will learn to prevent injury by properly stretching and having a better sense of mind-body control.
For more information on Pilates and my services please email me or follow me via facebook.com/mindbodysoulpilates. (Available for both team and private training)
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

OAKLAND -- The Danville family of a 21-month-old girl declared brain-dead after surgery filed suit Friday against the Oakland hospital at the center of the Jahi McMath saga, saying that the hospital's doctors botched an attempt to repair their daughter's birth defect, pressured the family to donate the girl's organs as they grieved and lied about an autopsy.
Family and lawyers say Morgan Westhoff's death in January 2013 is further evidence of a pattern at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland of insensitivity and pressure brought against parents who are told that their child has no brain activity after a medical procedure.
Similar claims were first spotlighted in December by the family of McMath, who successfully fought in court to have the 13-year-old brain-dead girl taken to another facility. Four months later, McMath remains on a ventilator and a feeding tube at an undisclosed facility outside California; Morgan's parents accepted her brain death diagnosis and buried their daughter, a decision they said came under pressure from hospital officials.
"They are not as good as they think they are," Morgan's father Wade Westhoff said of the hospital and its doctors. "They make mistakes and that's the truth."
Attorney Bruce Brusavich and Wade and Jennifer Westhoff filed the wrongful death and medical malpractice suit in Alameda County Superior Court on Friday, naming the hospital, and doctors Ziad Saba, James Gregg Helton, Eric Zee and Natalie Z. Cvijanovich as defendants.
The hospital declined to comment on the lawsuit, following its policy not to discuss pending litigation.
Morgan and her twin sister, Hunter, were born April 9, 2011, with patent ductus arteriosus, a condition in which a blood vessel that allows blood to bypass the baby's lungs before birth does not close after birth. Doctors chose to insert a device that would help close the blood vessel, but the device never should have been used in the first place, the suit argues. Doctors failed to give Morgan an echocardiogram to determine the right size device to use and ensure that she did not have high blood pressure, which would likely cause the procedure to fail, the suit says.
Doctors found as they attempted to insert the device that Morgan in fact did have high blood pressure; they halted the procedure and consulted the family, but did not warn them of the risk of failure if they continued, the suit says. Eventually, they completed the procedure, but the device became dislodged after implementation.
Instead of closing the vessel, doctors worked to retrieve the device while Morgan suffered cardiac arrest and brain damage resulting in brain death, the suit said. Hunter had the same surgery at the hospital with a positive result. She turned 3 years old this week, her family said.
The suit alleges that doctors were "reckless in rendering medical services to Morgan," and misrepresented to the Westhoff family that the Alameda County Coroner's Office was going to conduct an autopsy.
No autopsy was performed because a doctor signed the death certificate saying the attended death was of natural causes, according to the coroner's office. Such cases do not fall under the jurisdiction of the coroner's office. If they had known no autopsy was being performed, the family would have sought an independent autopsy for their daughter, the girl's father said.
A court order is also being sought to bar the hospital from soliciting donations from the Westhoff family, who in the past have given to the hospital and its research centers. The family says the hospital continued to ask for donations and invited them to a private fundraiser after Morgan's death and after the family had asked not to be contacted. One invitation came as recently as March, after the hospital had been notified of the family's intent to sue, said 43-year-old Wade Westhoff.
"My wife likes to say it's a total slap in the face," he said. "It was so unspeakable. At a weak moment, I called the RSVP to see if they would accept our attendance and they did. They invited a family to a private fundraiser who was intending to sue them. That goes a lot to speak of what kind of dysfunction is over there."
In a statement, David Durand, the hospital's senior vice president and chief medical officer, said the hospital regretted sending the unwanted communications.
"We understand their grief. We have hundreds of thousands of communications with families every year, and while we strive for these to always be appropriate, there are occasions when we fall short," Durand wrote. "We have been aggressively working to address our administrative processes to ensure that families who experience a loss such as this are not solicited unless they so choose."
The suit seeks damages in excess of the liability limit set at $250,000 in cases where children die while being cared for at a hospital.
Christopher Dolan, the lawyer for the McMath family, said the Westhoff case demonstrates a "culture of pressure and insensitivity" at the children's hospital. The Westhoff family visited the McMath family while Jahi was in the hospital.
"It goes to show the experience that Jahi's family had was not isolated," Dolan said.

Burdensome 'Opportunity'
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 12:09 a.m.
In reference to the Jan. 12 article, "12-Year-Old Raising Funds for Inauguration Trip," first, congratulations to the student chosen for the trip to Washington. That in itself is an honor.
Not being able to afford the trip is not unusual, nor should it be embarrassing, nor should it call for begging for money. Few people can just come up with nearly $4,000 for an "opportunity." The teacher should have checked with her parents first to ascertain if this would be a financial burden to them before nominating her.
Not being able to go may be as good a lesson in life as going would be. You don't always get what you want, and you shouldn't count on donations for your life's wants and needs.
Any program that costs $533 per day would have to provide amazing benefits for that price. I would suggest that the parents, teacher and Ledger do a little research on the "People to People" programs. Mixed reviews, from what I have read. I understand it is a program about traveling and meeting people.

Can't mount the 4.5.2 dmg file. :(
I think it's nothing but downright fair, letting us PPC & Tiger users get the upper hand when it comes to compability, for once. We're being discriminated every day now, by 10.5+/Intel restrictions. (On the other hand, I will retract this opinion in a few months, hopefully.)
This is not a universal binary, as misleadingly suggested on their webpage. Apparently, their idea of a "Mac PPC/Intel" app is a PPC app run on Rosetta.

This is no surprise, they tell you that in U.S. goverment in High School. But the implications are bad. The real decisions that are being made aren't discussed with the public. Did anyone know the canidates stance on NAFTA for instance? no it wasn't discussed, but its irrelevant. Either party would have been for it.

UNH analysis leads to change in how child support is calculated in N.H.
The UNH researchers recommended the state adopt income shares model for calculating child support. The idea behind the income shares model is that a child should receive the same amount of financial support they would have received had the family remained intact. Under the new formula, the incomes of each parent are combined to determine the total amount that would have been spent on the child, and each parent�s contribution toward child support is allotted based on the joint income figure.

Prior to singing "How Deep Is Your Love" with Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, Manny Pacquiao talked about how much he wants to face Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Do you think that he's scared to fight you?" Kimmel asked Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 knockouts), whose fifth appearance on the show comes nine days before his third clash with RING lightweight champ Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KOs) in defense of his WBO welterweight belt on Nov. 12.
"I don't know what the reason is," said Pacquiao, who has battled Marquez through a draw and a split-decision victory in two prior meetings as featherweights and junior lightweights. "But I'm ready to fight him."
Meanwhile, Mayweather's adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, has announced that the fighter, who turns 35 in February, will return to the MGM Grand on May 5 against an opponent to be determined, hinting that Mayweather wants that rival to be Pacquiao.
In response to Kimmel's suggestion that Pacquiao and Mayweather face off in a winner take all contest, Pacquiao said, "I don't think that he will." But asked if he would do it, Pacquiao answered, "of course."
In a surprise, Kimmel also unveiled a video dring which Pacquiao and Marquez sang a duet, "La Bamba."

Click here for Kimmel-Pacquiao interview No. 3
Pacquiao, who will face Marquez at a catchweight of 144 pounds, began Thursday evening's interview by calling Kimmel his "good luck" charm.
Pacquiao debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live just three days after Halloween in November of 2009, prior to dethroning Miguel Cotto as WBO beltholder by 12th-round knockout later that month.
Pacquiao was also on the show prior to his unanimous decision welterweight defense against Joshua Clottey in March of last year, as well as before earning the WBC's since-vacated junior middleweight belt with a unanimous decision over Antonio Margarito in November of last year.
A winner of 14 straight fights, eight of them by knockout, Pacquiao was on Kimmel's show for the fourth time prior to the May 7 defense of his crown, when he unanimously decisioned Shane Mosley.
Pacquiao floored Marquez three times in the first round of their clash in 2004, and once more in their rematch of 2008. So will Pacquiao go for the knockout in their third meeting?
"I am not going to say I am going to knock Márquez out, but I will say that I trained really hard for this fight, and we did a lot of things and made a lot of sacrifices. So if the knockout comes it will come," said Pacquiao.
"I just want to make sure I am in the best condition come November 12. If the knockout comes, it will be a reward for the hard work that I did. I worked hard for this fight, making sure that I am ready for the fight and in 100 percent condition on that night, mentally and physically."

Published on Friday, June 07, 2013
The City of San Antonio, through its Office of Sustainability, has been honored with the 2012 Innovation: Energy/Sustainable Development for a city with a population of more than 500,001 by Sister Cities International. The award is for the city's bike share program, San Antonio B-Cycle, which launched in 2011 as the first modern-day bike sharing system in Texas, and has helped turn San Antonio into a nationally-recognized bicycling community. Bicycling Magazine named San Antonio as one of the top 50 bicycling communities in the nation, while the League of American Bicyclists recognized San Antonio as a bronze-level bicycle-friendly community.
"San Antonio's continuous recognition as a bicycling community is proof that residents and visitors, alike, are rapidly embracing bicycling as a fit and environmentally-friendly method of transportation in our city," said Mary C. Hammer, Office of Sustainability Interim Director. "We are honored to be recognized internationally by Sister Cities International for our efforts in advancing bicycling within our community."
Since the program's inception, San Antonio B-Cycle users have logged a total of 93,000 trips, 340,000 miles ridden, 15 million calories burned and 371,000 total pounds of carbon offset. In the coming months, San Antonio B-Cycle will further expand downtown and on the Mission Reach, creating a total of 48 B-Cycle stations in San Antonio. The City partners with San Antonio Bike Share, a non-profit organization that operates and maintains the system.
The City of San Antonio is one of three awardees from Texas. Bandera County and Forth Worth are also honorees. Awards will be officially presented on Saturday, July 13, 2013 during the 57th Sister Cities International Annual Conference, being held in San Antonio.
Founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956, Sister Cities International serves as the national membership organization for more than 500 individual sister cities, counties and states across the U.S. with relationships in nearly 2,000 communities in 140 countries on six continents. Each year, Sister Cities International recognizes sister city programs that demonstrate outstanding accomplishments in advancing the goals and mission of the sister cities movement.

SARASOTA COUNTY - A sex offender who had been on the run for 24 years was captured Tuesday in Pennsylvania and is expected to be returned to Florida.
Richard Verboys, 60, was convicted in Sarasota County after sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. In 1988 he was sentenced to probation and court-ordered mental health counseling but left the area a short time later.
The Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Unit developed some leads on Verboys' whereabouts and contacted U.S. Marshals in Pennsylvania. He was arrested Tuesday in Scranton. Verboys will be booked into the Lackawanna County Jail where he will await extradition to Florida, authorities said.

Sometimes, it's necessary to be able to compromise. At other times, it's just plain wrong. The choice of a Volvo construction machine is without compromise: it stands for quality, productivity, low operating cost, safety, comfort and environmental care.

DOE-Backed Public EV Charging Program Expands to Washington, D.C.
The first public electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Washington, D.C., was unveiled on November 16. Installation under Coulomb Technologies' ChargePoint America program was supported in part by a $15 million DOE grant through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program will install more than 500 charging stations in the District of Columbia area as part of nationwide effort that will add 4,600 charging stations during the next two years. Noting that such advanced vehicle technologies are creating jobs and promoting the use of fuel-efficient cars in the United States, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu issued a statement saying, "the hundreds of electric vehicle charging stations coming to Washington, D.C. highlight the important role our nation's capital will have in the clean energy economy of the future."
Coulomb Technologies is now installing 240-v electric vehicle chargers for commercial and public use across the country. These Level II charging stations in nine regions will support the deployment of 2,600 electric-drive vehicles, including vehicles by Ford, Chevrolet, and smart USA. The nine pilot regions include Austin, Texas; Detroit, Michigan; Los Angeles; New York; Orlando, Florida; Sacramento, California; the San Jose and San Francisco Bay Area; the Bellevue and Redmond, Washington area; and now Washington, D.C. As the public begins to use these devices, DOE will collect data on travel patterns and about how drivers use their electric vehicles; where and when people charge their cars; and what impacts the chargers might have on the grid. See DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program Web site, the ChargePoint America Web site, and the Coulomb press release.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- New details are being released about the fatal shooting at University Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Bowen confirmed the victim, 57-year-old Tim Grooms of Lincolnton, Ga., died at 3:28 p.m. Grooms was shot at least two times and died immediately. His body has been sent to the GBI Crime Lab and an autopsy will likely be performed on Wednesday.
The suspect is 85-year-old Charles William Gorrell of Aiken, who is being held without bond at Richmond County Jail. Gorrell was taken into custody and is charged with one count of murder and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Investigators say the shooting happened inside the room where Gorrell's wife was being treated on the seventh floor of the hospital. Grooms is said to be the nephew of the suspect's wife. Deputies say there was "a long-standing dispute" between Grooms and Gorrell.
Allegedly, Gorrell shot Grooms, put down the gun and then surrendered to authorities.
"At no time were any of the staff, other patients or visitors to the hospital in any danger," said Richmond County Cpt. Scott Peebles in a news release. "The act was not random in nature and Grooms was an intended target. There is no indication that Gorrell threatened or intended to harm anyone else."
Counseling is available to patients and employees who need help in the aftermath of the shooting.

Augusta-GA--The Augusta RiverHawks once again outshot their opposition Saturday night at the James Brown Arena but ended up on the wrong end of the score, as they were edged by the Knoxville Ice Bears 3-2.
The Ice Bears started the scoring early, capitalizing on a 4-on-4 opportunity. Perhaps aided by some interference off of the faceoff, Mark Van Vliet grabbed the puck at the point and let loose a slap shot from the top of the slot that evaded RiverHawks net-minder BJ O'Brien.
The Ice Bears added to their lead six minutes later as Brett Valiquette won a battle off the boards deep in the RiverHawks end. He then slid a pass over to Jon Higgins who hammered a one-timer past O'Brien for his second goal of the season.
Things were looking dire for the RiverHawks until they drew a power play with less than five minutes remaining in the period. They moved the puck effectively with the man advantage, and it was Ian Watters deflecting a shot from Drew Baker past Ice Bears goaltender Peter Skoggard to narrow the Ice Bears lead back to one.
The RiverHawks took back a lot of the game's momentum in the second period with some spirited play, and then their Captain evened the score. Matt Auffrey took a pass from Shawn Skelley and walked towards the slot. He fired a snap shot that beat Skoggard over the shoulder, just under the cross-bar for the team's second goal.
The RiverHawks continued to set the pace of the play headed into the third period, but a momentary lapse led to the Ice Bears regaining the lead. Forward Berkeley Scott deked his way out of trouble in his own zone and fired a long, lead pass for Van Vliet. Van Vliet hammered a slap shot that squeezed through O'Brien's pads for his second of the night.
The RiverHawks will be back in action for home games on December 27 and 28.

The Granite Falls Chamber of Commerce wants to liven up the downtown plaza with a mixture of water, yogurt, buttermilk, beer and moss––and if a trial run on the south side of the K.K. Berge building goes without issue, the Granite Falls City Council will be open to it sometime down the road, said the city representatives during Monday night's council meeting.
Granite Falls Chamber Director Nicole Zempel was present with Chamber of Commerce Project Coordinator intern, Kyrie Kotlowski, a Yellow Medicine East graduate who recently received a degree in photography from the College of Visual Arts in St. Paul.
Kotlowski said that she became aware of the concoction she calls "Eco Art" while living in the cities. It is mixed, applied to a surface, and upon drying leaves behind only the design revealed in moss. It is much more attractive than its component parts may imply, she said.
"Eco Art, in my eyes, is hopefully a catalyst," said Kotlowski. "I hope that the project will help incorporate aspects that create a stronger sense of place and togetherness––something the community could really benefit from."
Elaborating on what such art might exhibit, Kotlowski said it could be anything from farm equipment to kayakers, as well as words like "grow" and thrive."
"It gives a little more meaning than just 'oh look, that's pretty,' said Kotlowski. It reflects our community's aspirations, i.e. to grow, to thrive, to be vibrant."
The city council naturally expressed concerns regarding potential smells and any unsightly marks or residues that may persist following its application. Kotlowski said her research indicated none of this would be a problem. A little lime juice, water, soap and scrubbing would remove the decor with relative ease.
Councilman Gallow also said he didn't want the project to promote graffiti, which the city has had issue with on some of its surfaces, for instance the "Welcome to Granite Falls," sign. Others representatives, like councilman Scott Peterson, however, felt such worry was unwarranted. "If people are going to be jerks, they're going to be jerks," he said.
Kotlowski plans to hold a public gathering to receive input on possible design ideas, and is planning a small scale, pre-trial test sometime in the next few days.
"Art has the capability to help our community bring us the things we so desire: tourism, economic growth, pride, togetherness, a sense of place, etc. We just need to effectively utilize it in a way everyone can enjoy," she said.
"It sounds interesting," commented Mayor Dave Smiglewksi. "I'm curious to say the least."

•At the recommendation of EDA?Director Dennis Van Hoof, the city council approved a 120 month $40,000 loan at three percent interest to Korthuis Jewelry that, according to city documents, will be used to pay down credit card debt that is accruing at high interest rates.
Page 2 of 2 - Steve Nordaune was the lone no vote, stating that he would've liked have seen the EDA?take a different course of action to aid the business.
The document says the business remains profitable and includes a list of seven conditions that had to be agreed upon before the loan would be issued. Conditions dictated how the loan monies would be used and also included stipulations to protect the city's interest.
•Council approved a resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application to the State Office of Transit that applies to the bus service.
The grant is a match between the city (20 percent) and state (80 percent). In 2012, the transit budget was 121,650, the anticipated amount for 2013, with two percent interest, is $124,083.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will host its inaugural golf tournament on Saturday, Feb. 4th, at the Oso Beach Golf Course, and will feature Islanders Baseball alumni from throughout the years. Registration for the event is currently underway, with a Jan. 30 deadline to sign up.
"We are excited to offer our alumni and all Islanders fans another avenue to connect with our program," said head coach Scott Malone. "As our baseball program continues to grow, this golf tournament will provide fans and alumni an opportunity to build new relationships around the Coastal Bend."
The event kicks off the 2012 season for the Islanders and will serve as a venue to meet, develop and strengthen relationships between the coaching staff, alumni, fans and friends of the program. The tournament format is a two-man scramble with players using the best ball after each shot.
"Corpus Christi is destination city," said Malone. "We are looking forward to hosting a fun golf outing that will bring our current players and staff closer to our alumni, fans and community members."
Individual prices start at $60 for a single person that includes lunch and a round of golf in the 'Single' package. The 'Double' features a round of golf, in addition to lunch, one mulligan and adidas Islanders Baseball polo at $110. A 'Triple' is all of the above, in addition to an adidas Islanders Baseball hat and two season tickets for Islanders Baseball at a cost of $300.
Team packages include the 'Homerun' and 'Grand Slam' options for a two-person team. The 'Homerun' is $110 for two rounds of golf and two lunches. The 'Grand Slam' is $200 for golf, lunch and Islanders Baseball polos for two.
Hole sponsorships are also available, with a 'Walk-Off Homerun' set at $500 for two people, with rounds of golf, lunch, adidas Islanders Baseball polos and hats, as well as two season tickets for the 2012 season and a hole sponsorship space.
The event will feature Islanders coaches and former players, as the alumni game is scheduled for the next day, Sunday, Feb. 5, on the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi campus.
"As a new addition to alumni weekend, the golf outing should be a great way for our former players, who put A&M-Corpus Christi on the map, to connect with the current players that are trying to take the program to new heights," said Malone.
Registration on the day of the tournament begins at 11:00 a.m., with lunch being served from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the golf course. Play begins at 1 p.m. with a shotgun start.

Six TV networks that started out as something else Oct 11 2012
There was a time when American Movie Classics used to show classic American movies, when The Learning Channel could teach you something, and when ABC Family broadcast family programming. Wired's Ruth Suehle has a look at six TV networks that have significantly changed their programming since their founding. The story of ABC Family, which used to be known as The Family Channel, is especially interesting:
Plan A was to use it for ABC re-runs. Too bad [ABC] didn't own the syndication rights to the stuff they wanted to show.
Plan B was an image makeover. They'd rename it XYZ (as in the opposite of ABC) and sell it to a younger, edgier audience. Too bad nobody read the contract that said the word "family" had to stay in the name forever.
Why? For that, we rewind to its beginning as Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network Satellite Service in 1979. That religious beginning followed the network through multiple sales, each of which has been required to continue broadcasting Robertson's The 700 Club, hence the reason that show is now bookended by the disclaimer, "The following/preceding CBN telecast does not reflect the views of ABC Family"as well as the network's slogan of the last few years, "A New Kind of Family."
