Federer outguns Henman (Peninsula on-line Qatar)
Reigning world number one Roger Federer showed Tim Henman no mercy yesterday, taking apart the Briton's serve-and-volley game to win the men's singles title at the Japan Open in straight sets.
The 25-year-old Swiss top seed, playing his 13th final in 14 events this season, notched an easy 6-3, 6-3 victory over Henman, a surprise finalist making his first appearance in Tokyo in eight years.
"It was excellent, of course, I'm reayy happy with this tournament. It's been a great season so far," Federer said.
Federer sails past Henman (Gulf Daily News)
Former British number one Tim Henman enjoyed a "fantastic week" despite losing to world number one Roger Federer in the Japan Open tennis tournament yesterday.The 32-year-old Briton failed to capitalise on his serve-and-volley game, crashing to a 6-3, 6-3 defeat at the hands of the Swiss top seed.
The scoreline was a repeat of Henman's 6-3, 6-3 loss to Federer in his last appearance in an ATP final at Indian Wells in March 2004.
"It was very windy and swirling on the court, but I still tried to play the way that I wanted to do, getting forward," Henman said after the 67-minute match.
"But he (Federer) has an ability to hit passing shots so well and consistently. It makes it so difficult to play against. At times I felt like I was playing some great tennis and he still ends up winning the point."
Awesome Federer wins Japan Open (Turkish Daily News)
World number one Roger Federer overpowered Britain's Tim Henman 6-3, 6-3 with ruthless efficiency to win the Japan Open on Sunday, his ninth title of the year. The stylish Swiss needed just 67 minutes to see off close friend Henman, forcing the 10th seed into a wild forehand on his third match point after a devastating performance in Tokyo.
"I beat Tim at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open this year but I thought this might be the most dangerous one," a jubilant Federer told reporters after his sixth straight victory over Henman.
"It's over three sets and the surface is fast. It was fantastic. I had to come up with some great passing shots at the right time."

Top-ranked Roger Federer coasted to a 6-3, 6-3 win over Britain's Tim Henman on Sunday to capture his first Japan Open title in Tokyo. Federer took control early, taking advantage of a double fault to break the 10th-seeded Henman and go ahead 4-2 before closing out the first set with an ace.
"It's been a great year so far," Federer said. "To come here for the first time and win this tournament is a great feeling. I hope to come back next year and defend the title."
Federer, playing in his first tournament since winning last month's U.S. Open, broke Henman again to take a 2-1 lead in the second set and never seriously was challenged from then on.
Henman is powerless to halt Federer's progression (Scotsman)
TIM Henman has warned that Roger Federer will only get better after the world No 1 wrenched the Japan Open title from the Briton's grasp.
The 25-year-old Swiss was simply too strong for Henman, taking just 67 minutes to sweep him aside 6-3, 6-3 in Tokyo yesterday to lift his 42nd career title.
Henman, who served three double faults in the sixth game of the first set to hand his opponent the advantage, never recovered. And, although he will take many positives out of his performances in the tournament, he admitted Federer was just too good on the day.
The 32-year-old told his official website, www.timhenman.org: "I am not the first guy to lose to Roger and I will not be the last.
"Roger was too strong for me today and he is a phenomenal player - there are very few that can live with him on any surface other than clay at the moment.

Federer picked up his 42nd championship of his nine-year career and moved to a 48-2 on hard courts this year after going 50-1 in 2005. His overall record this year stands at 77-5.

Top-ranked Cal tied the unofficial all-time NCAA win record while successfully defending its Pac-12 title at Los Angeles Country Club.
The Bears shot a final-round 350 to finish at 6-over 1,406 -- nine strokes ahead of UCLA. Stanford was fourth at 1,454.
Cal has 10 victories in just 12 tournaments, equalling the win total of the 1985-86 Oklahoma State squad.
"We've got more in front of us with an NCAA Regional and an NCAA Championship, but there's no question this team distinguished itself today," Bears coach Steve Desimone said.
Cal's Max Homa took medalist honors, closing with a 1-under 69 for a 9-under 271. Teammate Michael Weaver (68) was second at 276.
Cameron Wilson (73) was Stanford's top finisher -- ninth at 283.

Call FEMA with Isaac questions
Published: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 10:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 10:46 a.m.
FEMA specialists are reaching out to Hurricane Isaac-affected residents with questions about federal flood insurance claims or new building rules.
Any policyholder with claim questions or concerns can speak to a specialist at 1-866-331-1679. Help is available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Details are available at www.floodsmart.gov.
"We suggest homeowners use information provided by our insurance specialists to make the best decision when rebuilding their homes," said Brian Bartley, leader of FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Insurance Task Force. "They should take into consideration the possibility of a higher cost of insurance if they decide to rebuild based on current flood maps as those maps are set to change."

Now that the holiday season is under way, people are planning their vacations and booking their stays. The question on minds in Summit County is whether or not last year's poor snowfall will affect visitors' plans to travel and stay this season. As a holiday at the start of the winter season, Thanksgiving may be an indicator as to what the future holds.
Although the hard numbers have yet to be compiled and analyzed, indicators from earlier in the month show that, while there hasn't been an increase in the number of lodging bookings in Summit County from last year, there also hasn't been a significant decrease.
"Things for the Thanksgiving weekend were pretty much flat," said Tom Foley, director of Operations at the Mountain Travel Research Program (MTRiP). "We're looking at that as not bad news when we consider that last year at the same time we were looking at snow on the ground."
So while there isn't much snow on the ground yet, it seems that hopes are high that it will come. The Breckenridge Welcome Center reported large numbers of people coming through on the Friday after Thanksgiving and continuing until Sunday, where crowds were fewer, most likely due to the fact that Sunday is a traveling day for holiday vacationers.
"Thanksgiving week is close to our occupancy total for the same period last year," said Toby Babich, president of Breckenridge Resort Managers. "Overall, our entire ski season is showing solid growth in occupancy, with a slight decline in overall rate, which has been the pattern for the past several years."
Mountain Managers, which manages vacation rental condominiums and private homes, noticed fewer advanced bookings than usual.
"People just aren't booking as far in advance as they used to," said Lisa Prout, director of reservations at Mountain Managers.
It's likely vacationers are remaining cautious, and the uncertainty over snow is believed to be a contributing factor.
"There are several factors at play, and most of them are out of our control. One of them is most certainly weather," Foley said.
"As we move further into our winter booking season, the driving factor in overall occupancy at the end of the season will be our ability to provide our loyal consumers with the type of on-mountain experience they desire," said Babich. "Out of the gate, reservation volume seems to be running strong, but will fluctuate with the snow we will receive this season. A good snow year will always provide a good booking year. However, as we proved last year, even with average snow, Breckenridge is always a great place to have a memorable vacation."

As even more shocking revelations are published in the Irish Independent, the blood pressure continues to swell in the veins of taxpayers and Irish citizens throughout the country over the obnoxious, self-serving, egotistical Anglo elite and their self congratulatory, audacious, disdainful, pompous, contempt for the state and the public.
Even though Anglo, in its reinvented guise as the IRBC, was euthanised and put out of its misery in February of this year, its toxic legacy still prevails and lives on in the psyche of the country.
In Tuesday morning's report, the then CEO of Anglo, David Drumm, takes centre stage urging his troops to show utter contempt and disdain for regulation of the banking sector. He openly mocks the Financial Regulator over his concerns of abuse in the system in the aftermath of the implementation of the guarantee, and calls on staff to, "abuse the Bank Guarantee, don't get caught…"We won't do anything blatant, but…we have to get the money in…get the fuckin' money in, get it in."
In July of 2008, the then Taoiseach, Brian Cowen and Sean Fitzpatrick, Chairman of Anglo Irish Bank, played a game of golf, where no business or banking matters were seemingly discussed on what was 'merely' a social occasion. Two months later, the Anglo tapes conversation between John Bowe and Peter Fitzgerald took place as published the Irish Independent.
The day beforehand, Anglo officials met with the Central Bank and the Financial Regulator and around the same time Sean Fitzpatrick met with Brian Lenihan. Concerns abounded that Anglo had liquidity problems, but Patrick Neary was assured the bank was solvent. In the early hours of the 30th of September five years ago, Anglo was one of the banks covered under the bank guarantee scheme.
The story dominates the papers and broadcast media this morning, with the Irish Times warning that the Government's planned inquiry can't make findings of individual culpability, in The Star, Terry McGeehan speaks of the seething hostility of the public towards Anglo and the abuse of the state guarantee, and Martina Devlin in the Independent states that emigration is at famine levels, because Anglo lied. The Star also declares that the Anglo tape stars, John Bowe and Peter Fitzgerald, earned a massive €1.2 million euro each in the years after the bank guarantee, it seems all of John Bowes Christmases had come together as he said on tape, "That would be fantastic, if it was nationalisation, we'd keep our jobs," and they could effectively see out their tenure as quasi civil servants in what became the warm embrace of the IBRC.
On Monday night, Bowe stated that he regretted his language and tone on the phone conversation, but denied he had misled the Central Bank inquiry, however we now hear him recite a satirical rendition of Uber Alles, whilst giving two fingers to the concerns of the British administration.
However contrite, Bowe may believe he is, as it could be argued he was only following orders, 'Drummer' however is another thing altogether.
The reckless abandon and utter disregard of the Boss for the stability of the state and impact of Anglos behaviour on the Irish economy is beyond belief. Drumm said in the tape, "we're (Anglo) going to be around for a long time", and never a truer word came out of the mouth of a Anglo executive, the pernicious and corrosive legacy of Anglo will haunt this country for generations.
It was disclosed that following meetings between Anglo Irish Bank and the Financial Regulator and The Central Bank, Anglo proposed an emergency loan to the bank of €7 billion euro, which if the information in the public domain now is to believed, was known in advance to not be enough to sustain Anglo. It appears that Anglo knew they could not repay this money and the buck must stop here with the CEO David Drumm, Sean Fitzpatrick, Chairman of Anglo Irish, and to a lesser degree their senior executives and officials, who must have been aware of the 'strategy'. All indications point to an awareness that the bank did not have 'liquidity' problems alone, but that it was in fact for all intents and purposes actually bust and in serious trouble.

People in York, Ala., are weighing in for the 2010 version of its annual 'Scale Back Alabama' campaign at the York Health Clinic. The statewide competition helped residents lose over 400,000 pounds in 2009.
Six hundred of those pounds were lost by four-person teams in York. This year, participants look to shed even more.
"We've been doing a lot of cardio. But we have five areas we're going to work on, our wings, our muffin, our pouch, our thighs, and buttocks," said coordinator Anita Larkin.
Cardio classes will be taught in the Health center. Teams will decide on diet techniques, and the competition will officially be underway this Friday.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama and Barber Dairies are sponsoring this event and plan to give out cash prizes after ten weeks of exercise and cutting back.
"I'm going to try and lose ten pounds but I would like to lose about thirty," said participant Claudine Bell.
Teams in which each member loses ten pounds will be eligible for a drawing for cash prizes, ranging from $250 to $1,000. The biggest local losers will win a store credit from local businesses.
"Any time somebody can try to do something to help somebody lose weight and get healthier, I think that's a good thing," said coordinator Vivian Johnson. "And I believe our businesses want that to happen."
"I thought it was an excellent idea that she's doing something, participating in doing something to help with the health of our local residents here and just thought that, anything I could do to help out would be an add," said Bell.
The prizes offered by local stores and a team environment help locals stay inspired over the ten weeks, not to mention, feeling and looking healthier as well.
There is still time to join the effort. Four-person teams must take part in a weigh-in at a designated site by Friday. There are sites in Sumter and Choctaw counties. For more information, check out the campaign's Web site. A link is provided below.
Alabama has the second highest obesity rate in the nation. Mississippi has the highest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 31.4% of Alabama's residents are considered obese. In Mississippi, the rate is 32.8%.

Automobile dealership brings parts storage back on-site
October 02, 2012 - MMH Editorial
When Mercedes-Benz of Littleton, Co., sought to put an addition onto its parts department, it contacted the same supplier that had designed a mezzanine for the facility back in 2001.
The idea was to expand the mezzanine into a second room. Mercedes had been using off-site storage and hoped to condense all storage into one location by expanding the mezzanine to 1,200 square feet, almost double the original size.
The addition required very precise engineering to ensure a smooth transition between rooms. Both levels had to match when the hole was cut in the wall and the transition was made over the wall section.
The company also stored automobile parts on existing shelving on the mezzanine. Engineers rated the mezzanine for 125 pounds per square foot to ensure that it could handle the weight of the parts.
While the expansion was taking place, Mercedes-Benz continued its day-to-day operations. Everything was carefully coordinated as to not disrupt Mercedes' operation or the other contractors.

WATERTOWN, Mass. -- Massachusetts State Police say a pair of brothers suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings spent the night in a Honda CRV and used it to carjack a Mercedes SUV.
Police said Friday morning at a Watertown news conference that one of the brothers stayed with the carjacking victim for a few minutes and then let him go.
They say one brother drove away in the CRV, and the other one drove away in the Mercedes.
Police say one then ditched the CRV and reunited with his brother in the Mercedes. Authorities say both suspects were in the Mercedes when they encountered police and hurled explosives at officers. Twenty-six-year-old suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev (tsahr-NY'-ev) was killed.
The CRV was later recovered in Boston.
Nineteen-year-old Dzhokhar (JOH'-kahr) Tsarnaev remains on the loose.

Some might argue that this is the best "photo with Santa" ever — and thousands of Facebook likes do make a strong case — but for my money, iconoclast wins over cutesy any day.
Okay, so she may just be showing off a boo boo, but we're all adults here, so let's just agree to pretend that she's giving Christmas the finger because too few things give us joy anymore and I'll be damned if I let crummy reality take this photo away from me.

I learned so much [in your Meatless Monday class] and I've already made the pickles (love them), the sauce with spaghetti squash, the peas and onions, and I've already bought myself a rice cooker and use it almost every day. I would love to come to more classes!
Thank you again for a perfect night. The food was wonderful, you were fabulous, the company was great…the first time is an event. The second time is a tradition. This will become one in our house!

Foreign relations, Peugeot-sized prime rib and dirty jokes: Dinner at Ducru
Post by Chris Caughman | Wednesday, March 31st
I've always been a big guy and a pretty good athlete, if I might say so myself. When I was a kid, you definitely would have picked me first for touch football at recess. Unfortunately, as I found out at dinner Wednesday evening, the Bordelais don't play touch football.
This is all I could think about as dinner guests were singled-out and placed strategically around a lavish table set for 16 in the dining room at Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou. Here's how it went down:
Proprietor Bruno Borie picks JJ Buckley founder Shaun Bishop first out of all
the guests assembled (go JJB, woot!), followed by a wealthy Chinese gentleman speaking neither French nor English. (Yeah, ok. I saw the prominently displayed Chinese flag flying in first position outside the chateau. He is more important than moi. Oui, je comprends.) M. Borie then selects the next ten guests for seating. Eventually it comes down to me, and Team JJB members John Sweeney and Alex Shaw. I'm now thinking we just got picked last for recess touch football— Bordeaux style.
With a bruised ego, I took my seat at one corner of the table smack amiddle three young Chinese ladies, all speaking Mandarin. Bringing all my big American hospitality and manners to bear, I turn to my left and introduce myself.
"Hi, I'm Chris."
Lovely Chinese lady Number One replies, in perfect English, "Oh, I don't speak English." (Giggle, giggle).
Ok, let's try the right. "Hi, I'm Chris."
Lovely Chinese lady Number Two replies, "Oh, I don't speak English…," (giggle, giggle, giggle) "…just kidding, Chris!"
Well played, Fen Zhu. You got me.
It turns out Fen works as Export Manager to Asian markets for a Bordeaux negociant. These days you'd be hard pressed to find a negociant without a Chinese employee in a similar position. Since she started her job three years ago, she's seen Asian interest in fine Bordeaux wine expand outside of Hong Kong to Beijing, Shanghai and now beyond. The next step, she thinks, is a more educated Asian buyer. Instead of the Lafite-Or-Bust mentality, there will be buying decisions based on critical acclaim, flavor profiles and personal preference, not simply on luxury brand recognition. Something tells me Lafite will still do ok, though.
As we are making conversation, out of the corner of my eye I notice a small French automobile has driven into the room. Wait…no, that's my main course! This prime rib roast was seriously the largest piece of meat I've ever seen- and I've seen some big meat. It was also seriously delicious served with potatoes au gratin, which seems to be a staple of the Bordelais diet. Chewing away happily, I almost choked and spit out my 2000 Ducru, when M. Borie dropped an incredibly inappropriate and awesomely funny joke. I'd repeat it, but really it's a little too R-rated for a blog that my Mom will probably read.

Okay kids, gather 'round, I'm going to reminisce. When I was about six, I had what is classed as well developed literacy skills—I could write some words, I could read books about Jenny and Jack on the swing, that sort of thing. My parents bought a mac and we thought we were the height of sophistication. (That was in 1986, BTW.) But to me, it was like a magic box that was used on special occasions, and it was a grownup thing. I mean, I only used the phone on special occasions! If I had something important to say to Grandma I wrote her a letter on some hideous floral stationary that she had given me for Christmas. That was me at six.
Why read Jenny and Jack when you can email more interesting people?
Fast forward twenty years, to a literacy case study [1] I read recently about a little girl who at age six has what is classed as poorly developed literacy skills (writing not so great, doesn't interact well with books), however she communicates with her absent mother every day via email and shows exceptional skill in this form of literacy. The author of the case study was pointing out that it is becoming increasingly important to focus on multi-literacy—there are lots of kids out there who, unlike the kids of twenty years ago, are growing up with a daily exposure to computers as a frequent form of communication, and this is the most real kind of literacy to them. The point of me telling this story isn't to give a sermon about expanding the definition of literacy from Jenny and Jack on the slide to encompass more than "just reading" (although on the topic, Jenny and Jack are boring, boring kids and I wouldn't have been friends with them). It's about how in a mere twenty years, the face of communication has changed for us. What was normal for us then would now be like living in communication purgatory. And maybe kids today are smarter than us, because they realise that Jenny and Jack are two dimensional and don't do anything fun at all.
It's us versus them... and I can't hit very hard...
So I'm telling you the world has changed and you're saying to me "Yes? And? Any REAL news this week?" Well now you're going to be really annoyed because I might be about to launch into a geek-is-good tirade. Some guy called Martin Girard had an article published in OS news cheekily entitled Why Desktop Linux Will Not Take off, and Why You Don't Want It to. Initially I was mildly alarmed by the erratic capitalisation in the title... but then I can be a bit anal about such things. Did I mention I had excellent literacy skills? Anyway, Girard reckons that the reason desktop Linux is doomed to failure is that geeks think it's cool, so it is automatically doomed because people who aren't geeks just aren't into geek stuff. While the article was pretty light-hearted, I would just like to virtually sit Mr Girard down for a moment and have a little talk with him, because it's not only a bit inflammatory, it's a bit derisive of geeks. And we all know how I hate stereotypes. Besides, isn't this the year of GNU/Linux on the desktop again? That's what the good people at Nuxified reckon as per Danijel Orsolic's article How Microsoft is loosing to GNU/Linux. Those kids reckon that this IS that year finally come, because all these advanced users are migrating and so are all their non-techie mates because the advanced user has advised it. Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing, kids!
Everybody's missing the point but me
So you might think that if you read both of these articles that they are both good and decent reasons for and against there being a year for GNU/Linux on the desktop, with Girard saying that geeks are out of touch with what the normal people want and that Martin from the Simpsons will never be cool, but then with Orsolic saying that not only do geeks actually have non-geek friends, but these non-geek friends do stuff like use GNU/Linux because their "advanced user" friend reckoned it would be a good idea. See? Geeks are actually influential people with FRIENDS. So, you ask, what more is there to say really?
Firstly, I would just like to say in response to Girard (and this is more of an aside) what do you MEAN geeks aren't influential? Mate, they invented the damn things! I mean sure, Bill Gates is more of a "business man" now than a geek—although he still looks a lot like one—but he has a heap of geeks working for him. If the common man didn't listen to the geek occasionally he'd still be communicating with his mates via shouting really loud, or waiting to run into them down at the local watering hole. Now he can text them, email them, download photos of random babes called Candy or Mandy to show off to them... When it comes to technology, non-geeks are like lambs to the slaughter.
The kiddies are at the gates!
And for my main point... Here's why I picked this up as opposed to letting the two articles just cancel each other out, and it's back to the point I originally started off with about literacy. Kids these days are different to kids in my day, and I'm only twenty six! If you say stuff like "Linux will never take over on the desktop because people just aren't into doing geek stuff—they don't want to know how to do things and they just want usability" I will respond with even if that is true at the moment—and there isn't conclusive evidence to suggest this is so—what about today's six year olds? The world isn't static. The way kids grow up changes dramatically with each generation. In 1876 Western Union said "The telephone has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication". And weren't they on the money? Telephones! Who uses that anymore? VoIP anybody?
When I was growing up my idea of the height of technology was a clunky box with a perhaps seven inch, black and white screen and we thought we were so cool because a bit later down the track we used Windows 3.1 and had a colour printer. Now six year olds get antsy if you keep them from the inbox and probably sulk if the broadband goes down. Kids of today have a dynamic relationship with technology. They are keen to have what we think of as cutting edge technology and they see it as pretty standard. If you bring up advanced users, that's what you get. And, consider all the schools over the place who are migrating to Linux? These kids aren't all geeks. They think tech stuff is normal. They probably don't all look like Martin and lots of them do sport and and are pretty cute looking. And who knows how much longer the geek/non-geek distinction will be made? Watch for the year of Linux on the desktop... the kids are out in force and taking over.

[Lazily copying and modifying a comment I made on the Danijel Orsolic article at nuxified.org. That conversation might be over with but this one is new and fresh :-) ]
I like the points raised here and in the Orsolic article about advanced users moving over and perhaps taking others with them, although I have my doubts.
[Begin recycling.]
I appreciate Danijel's optimism about Free Software and Free Culture. I agree that they will prevail, it's just a question of when. Will it be sooner, or later, after a DRM and patent-stifled dark age?
[Removed rehash of my own attempt to move to GNU/Linux.]
While I certainly promote free software to "non-choosing" kinds of people I know, even if I was competent in using GNU/Linux I would have some reservations about getting them to use it. Are they willing to deal with hardware challenges caused by lack of drivers or whatnot? For example, "Why doesn't [Product X] work on this new operating system you've installed for me? I really need [Product X]." Where Product X might be software or a hardware device. There may or may not be substitutes that they can use. For myself, I'm prepared to make many tradeoffs to get to a free OS and free applications. Others may not be. (Unless we can convince them why they should, of course.) For example, there is someone I know who is very technical and informed about these issues but is held up from completely switching over because he can't find a free financial program that integrates with his bank.
I know these things can be overcome if we continue to have the freedom to make software that interoperates, but this is where my fear of a drm/dmca/patent dark age comes in. The companies threatened by free software have money today to buy politicians and laws protecting their monopolies.
[Additional thought, just for FSM.]
If we're allowed to continue competing with proprietary software and monopolies, we'll be fine in the short and long term.
[I didn't say it was a particularly original or earth-shaking thought, but I have to wrap up and get my own FSM entry done for tomorrow or I'll be in big trouble!]
great point
Nice article Bridget!
You've made a point that doesn't get made alot. As the world changes so do kids change and adapt. New generations will probably be much more accepting to the idea of tinkering and less fearful of the source than current generations which all works against the old powers that were. And that means geeks and mainstremers might just be blending together.
At this point sure alot of cool kidz depend on geeks for their cool tech stuff to remain cool. ;)
Btw, Scott, I replied to you on Nuxified. :)
Gotta Make the Switch for the Sake of the Kids
You make a great argument for making the switch to Linux. I have been putting it off, as I know my family will struggle at first. But I owe it to my kids to give them the opportunity to escape from the Microsoft monopoly while theur brains are young and flexible.
You make a great argument. I
You make a great argument. I am now seriously considering shifting to Linux. Windows has always been my "safe" zone. I was afraid to try the others. But now, I'll be taking the plunge. See me here often for LOTS of questions then!
While I certainly promote

Shirley Temple, an actress with curls, dimples and a legendary smile who was known to many as Mrs. Charles Alden Black and an American diplomat of considerable acclaim, died Monday at night at her Woodside home.
Known in private life as Shirley Temple Black, she was surrounded by family members and caregivers when she died of natural causes, according to publicist Cheryl Kagan. She was 85.
"We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black," a family statement said.
Temple had lived in Woodside for 46 years.
During her diplomatic career, she was delegate to the United Nations, White House chief of protocol, ambassador to Ghana and ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
As a child, however, she was so endearing as a 4-year-old movie star during the Great Depression that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was moved to remark:
"It is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles."
Black always said her Hollywood career lasted 19 years, into the 1950s, her 20s. For many of her real fans, however, she was never older than 10, and the movies that made her famous were produced from 1932 to 1939. A half-century later, her autobiography recognized that. Her book-signing tour for "Child Star" drew thousands across the country in 1988.
In Campbell, after Shirley Temple Black quit signing, with many of her 2,000 fans who showed up still waiting in line, she did not sneak out of the PruneYard. She was "classy" enough, as one observer put it, to face her fans and thank them as she walked out the front door. "I'm not the back-door type," she told a Mercury News interviewer.
Black's star was still so bright in 1989, when she was 61, that the autobiography rose to No. 4 on the best-seller list in four weeks. Moreover, it covered only her acting years. She indicated that she would record the rest of her life, her matronly years and her diplomatic years, but she died before she could publish her side of that period.
Black identified her "discoverer'' as Jay Gorney, a songwriter for Fox Film's "Stand Up and Cheer."
Her little song-and-dance audition prompted the actor Harold Lloyd to proclaim to Shirley's mother, Gertrude, "My God! Another Coogan." It didn't take long for Shirley Temple to eclipse Jackie Coogan as a child star.
Before she was 12 she had made, among 40 movies, "Little Miss Marker," "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel" and sang probably her signature song, "On the Good Ship Lollipop'' in "Bright Eyes." "Dimples" fit her smile. She wore Heidi's clothes in "Heidi." She had critics writing with rapture about "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm'' and she was awarded a miniature Oscar at the Academy Awards in 1935.
For more than four years in the late 1930s, Shirley Temple was No. 1 in box-office ticket sales, and more than a million little girls wore Shirley Temple dresses, according to Lester David and Irene David, two of her biographers. But in 1940 her box-office popularity fell to No. 5 and George and Gertrude Temple bought their daughter's contract for a reported $300,000. The Davids characterized 20th Century Fox's goodbye gifts to Shirley Temple -- an upright piano and some of the costumes she wore -- as miserly.
Some saw the irony in her movie "Poor Little Rich Girl," foretelling Shirley Temple Black's misfortune with her own wealth. In "Child Star," she wrote, "Between Father and me it was a dead heat who was least interested in seeing me financially independent."
As an adult, she confronted her parents about the more than $3 million she had earned as an actress. She discovered that after bills had been paid, the $800,000 left had been invested in stocks and bonds owned by her parents. Shirley Temple Black was left with $44,000 and the title to a cottage she had used on a movie lot.
Although Black kept making movies into the '50s for producer David O. Selznick -- among them two World War II films "Since You Went Away" and the critically praised "I'll Be Seeing You" -- her career essentially was over.
On Sept. 19, 1945, 17-year-old Shirley Temple had married 24-year-old John Agar, an Army sergeant whose father was an Illinois meatpacker. He, too, became an actor, but Selznick's pairing of the couple in John Ford's "Fort Apache" and "Adventure in Baltimore" didn't advance either career. Their marriage produced Linda Susan Agar in January 1948 and then dissolved in December 1949. (Agar died in April 2002.)
In 1950, Shirley Temple married Charles Alden Black, a Stanford graduate and son of the president of Pacific Gas & Electric Co. They had a son, Charles Jr., and a daughter, Lori, and the couple never had a fight, Shirley Temple Black wrote in her autobiography. That marriage lasted until his death in 2005 at age 86.
While Charlie Black moved from the American Broadcasting Cos. to then-Stanford Research Institute to Ampex Corp. and finally to his own marine research company, Mardela Corp., his wife established herself as a community volunteer and mother in Woodside.
She was not finished as a public person, however. In 1967, candidate Shirley Temple Black's name recognition could not carry her to Congress, and she lost decisively in a Republican primary contest with Paul N. "Pete" McCloskey, who went on to win election and remain in the House of Representatives for 16 years.
Black became a near-million-dollar fundraiser for the GOP in the 1968 presidential election and earned an appointment as delegate to the 24th General Assembly of the United Nations.
A mastectomy in 1972 to thwart breast cancer hardly fazed Black publicly and she issued a statement urging other women to get checked by their doctors and vowed, "I have much more to accomplish before I am through."
She accepted a Nixon appointment to the President's Council on Environmental Quality. In the 1970s, President Ford named her U.S. ambassador to Ghana and then the first female chief of protocol, which carried the dual rank of ambassador and assistant secretary of state.
She followed with other United Nations appointments in the 1980s, moving to Prague as U.S. ambassador during the last months of communism in Eastern Europe.
In the Mercury News' millennium series "Voices of Our Time" published in 1999, she recalled a November 1989 celebration of Czechs and Slovaks:
"It was held on the Letna Plain, where almost a million people gathered one cold, snowy night and listened to speeches from Vaclav Havel and others. Then they all took their keys from their pockets and shook them in the air, jangled them up high. It was a clean, undeniable call for liberty. That was an amazing sight.
"Then freedom came to Czechoslovakia, and the roads had a lot of twists and turnings and rocks in the way. Observing it, I found that the process they went through to achieve their freedom evoked cheers of satisfaction and genuine happiness from many of us. It also evoked anxiety. Freedom is not easy to achieve.''
She said she thought observing the revolution was the most important event she had witnessed.
Of her diplomatic years, Black observed:
"The thing that's nice about being Shirley Temple is that Shirley Temple opens doors for me. Shirley Temple Black can keep the doors open and accomplish something worthwhile. Just about everyone knows Shirley Temple. They consider me a friend before they meet me and they trust me. So, I have friends in some places in many parts of the world even the U.S. government doesn't have.''

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012
SCREVEN COUNTY, Ga. -- Pop star Michael Jackson has millions of fans, including a local second grader who says dancing like "MJ" got him suspended from school.
Ever since Jobe Tolle can remember he's had only one idol, The King of Pop!
"He sings and all the different suits he tries on," said Jobe about his hero.
There isn't a day that goes by that the 8-year-old isn't dancing like his Jackson.
"Yeah Michael Jackson is a really big deal to him," said Tammy Tolle about her son.
Tolle thought Jobe's MJ obsession was nothing but fun games until her son's assistant principal called her.
"I thought he said he had hit someone," she said.
Tolle thought he said Jobe was punching someone.
"He said no. He was hunching in the hallway," she said.
Jobe's mother didn't know what hunching was. It's a slang term meaning "simulating sex." And that's exactly what school administrators say the second grader did while waiting in line at school.
"I'm upset, saddened, really angry," Tolle said.
Tolle says her son was not hunching but rather dancing like Michael Jackson.
School officials suspended Jobe and cited him for "lewd behavior to include sexting and porn."
"Lewd behavior to include sexting and porn? On the way home I had to explain to my son what porn was." Tolle said.
School officials suspended Jobe for a day.
Officials did not want to go on camera with News 12 On Your Side, but the superintendent said he has confidence in his administrators who investigated the incident. He also said the punishment was appropriate for Jobe's behavior.
The superintendent went on further to tell News 12 he would not discipline a student for just dancing in line.
"He is not the perfect kid, but he doesn't do sexual stuff," Tolle said. "This is not a punishment that fits the crime at all."
Tolle says her son should have been disciplined for clowning around but not for "lewd behavior."
The school superintendent said "improper behavior" would have been an more accurate category for Jobe's actions. However, the state doesn't have specific code for it.
School officials say any time a student is suspended, they must categorize the offense under a specific state code. The closest code which describes the Jobe's actions, they say, is lewd behavior.

They were garbed in every manner and color of running attire. Many wore the bright green official race T-shirt. Others color coordinated with members of their groups.
Some came dressed as the henchmen of cartoon super-villains.
"We're minions," Heidi Bussie of Houma said, referring to the little yellow helpers of the title character from the movie "Despicable Me".
Bussie, a teacher at Broadmoor Elementary School, and about a dozen of her cohorts were dressed in frilly skirts with yellow knee socks and those funny big eyes the minions have.
"A fellow teacher thought it up, and we decided to do it," Bussie said. "I even brought my daughter with me this year. She's a mini-minion."
"Slower runners to the back, please," Cory Bourg of Split Second LLC, who served as the race's master of ceremonies, exhorted the crowd. "We don't want anyone getting trampled."
A Houma police officer and a Shriner took to the road on their motorcycles the clear the route, and with the sound of a siren, the annual race was under way.
Little more than 18 minutes later, 18 year old Peter Alleman of Thibodaux was the first to cross the finish line, 44 seconds ahead of Nate Castillo, and over a minute better than third place Richard Podler.
Alleman, who was home schooled and proudly said he graduated last Sunday, plans to run cross country for Nicholls State University in the fall.
"It's always been a dream to win this race," Alleman, who finished the race in 18 minutes, 6 seconds said. "We have all the best guys here. But to be able to win is fantastic. I didn't have my greatest time. I usually run in the seventeen's. But it was a good run. I had (Castillio) behind me the whole time. He pushed me."
Stephanie McNabb, the women's winner, finished in 20:11, more than three minutes better than second-place Liaa Wurst. Andrea Lutz finished third.
"It's awesome," McNabb, the office administrator at a pre-school, said of her win, her first in three tries. "It's an awesome race. It's one of the biggest events that get pulled to this area, so I always look forward to it. So many people coming to Houma just for this race."
Of the top 15 finishers in men's and women's competition, Steve Swauner, 61, was the oldest, finishing 12th among the men with a time of 20:48. The youngest was Lauren Andre, 11, who finished eighth with a time of 25.56.
