Sunshine State Conference Tournament: FSC Women Fade Down the Stretch

KISSIMMEE | A season filled with injuries and close losses came to an end Wednesday evening for the Florida Southern women's basketball team.
The Mocs were outscored 10-3 in the final 3:02 of the game and lost to Barry University, 50-44, in the first round of the Sunshine State Conference tournament at the Silver Spurs Arena.
"There was about a three-minute stretch there that I thought was the difference in the game," FSC coach Holly Borchers said. "Otherwise, I thought it was pretty even."
The Mocs close out the season with a 10-17 record, with six of their last eight losses coming by eight points or less. Barry (15-12) plays top-seeded Nova Southeastern in today's quarterfinals at 2:30 p.m.
"In most of the SSC games, whoever makes plays at the end will win because our games are so close," Barry coach Bill Sullivan said. "We were fortunate enough to make a few plays at the end there."
With two of their top three scorers out for the season with injuries – point guard Taylor Maldonado and forward Tracy Fosterling – the Mocs dressed just nine players. Seniors Melanie Ducott and Kirstin McIntyre combined for 32 of FSC's 44 points. Ducott led with 17 and McIntyre had 15 and also pulled down 14 rebounds.
McIntyre and Ducott actually scored the Mocs' first 29 points, and the game was tied, 29-29, with 14 minutes to play before other FSC players cracked the scoring column. Morgan Lamberg hit a jumper and sophomore Shelby Wheeler contributed her first two points of the season on a pair of free throws that gave FSC a 33-31 lead with 11 minutes to play.
FSC built its lead to four, 37-33, and held a 39-37 lead when Barry's Jacky Perez his a 3-pointer that put the Buccaneers in front, 40-39. Two free throws by Mariah Harris gave FSC the lead back, 41-40, with 4:10 to play, but Barry got the ball inside and scored six consecutive points to take control of the game.
"We knew it was going to be a battle," said Ducott, who stepped in at point guard this year after Maldonado was lost for the year in December with a knee injury. "We had our runs and they had their runs, but I thought we were going to keep the lead when we got it in the second half. Unfortunately, it got away."
After Perez's 3-pointer, Barry's last 10 points came either on layups or on free throws after the Buccaneers were able to get the ball inside.
Perez was 4-for-10 from 3-point range for the game. The Buccaneers also forced the Mocs into four turnovers during one stretch.
"That's pretty much been the theme all year. We're pretty good with (the pressure) until we get under four minutes, then we have a tendency to try to make a really fancy play when we can make a simple pass," Borchers said. "But they played their hearts out and they're trying to do the best they can. You just have to give Barry a lot of credit for making the plays when they needed to."
Tyler Hardy led Barry with 14 points. Collette Eule had 13 and Perez 12.
The FSC men open SSC tournament play Friday at 5 p.m. The second-seeded Mocs play No. 7 seed Barry. Advance-sale tickets for that game are on sale at the Florida Southern athletic office for $8. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Postcard from the edge. NASA delivers a billion pixel photo from Mars
June 20, 2013 - Art Smith
NASA shared something pretty out of this world this week when it shared a billion pixel photo from Mars.
Shot with a variety of cameras that are onboard the rover Curiosity, the photo allows desktop explorers everywhere to examine it from more than 34 million miles away in extreme details.
The higher the number of pixels in a photo, the clearer the image. A billion pixels means the photo is extremely sharp, and you can zoom into it to see extreme details.
Exactly how do you get a billion of anything from Mars to your laptop? Well you do it a pixel at a time, sort of.
A pixel is a tiny little square. A single pixel will be a single color, or more accurately a single shade of gray. The pixel will have a value that can be displayed in a digital format such as 00100110. Digital data can be transmitted long distances without errors. It's what allow the Internet to work, and it is what allows pixels to be transmitted from million of miles away and then reassembled as a photo on the other end. The tiny squares appear to the eye as continous shades of grays and color.
All digital photos of course, are made of pixels;. In fact cameras are sold with the number of pixels they generate used as a selling point. Large photos can produce stunning wall-sized prints. Most people don't need them that big and are actually wasting hard drive space by saving huge files.
Storage is not an issue in the case of the billion pixel Mars photo, which is actually around 900 photos that have been digitally joined to appear as a single panorama photo. The photos were taken, then transmitted to an orbiting satellite and then transmitted to earth.
Once assembled in useable form, the photo was made available to web users who can zoom and rotate the 360-degree photo however they please.
The effect is stunning and allows anyone with Internet access to view the image and do some exploring of their own.
Some armchair astronauts thought they spotted a rat on Mars a few weeks ago when they were "exploring" the planet. NASA scientists are pretty sure it's a rock, but only a Martian would know for sure.
The Internet allows people to take a glimpse of things they would never be able to see if it didn't exist, even a rock on Mars that looks like a rat.

Max George of boy band The Wanted and Lindsay Lohan might be in a romance after all.
After denying he invited Lohan to the group's Philadelphia show, according to TMZ, he's now confessing he really did. And somehow, afterward, she ended up on the band's tour bus on the way to its Thursday night show in Boston.
Maybe he appreciates how much she really, really appreciates their music.
Sources told TMZ that Lohan was on the bus as George's "guest."
So that's what the kids call it know -- being each other's "guest."
Supposedly, "George doesn't want a girlfriend, but doesn't mind having Lindsay around," a source told TMZ.
George made headlines when he was identified as a possible cause for a New York nightclub fight in which Lohan allegedly punched a Florida psychic. Lohan was charged with assault after the incident.

Alexis Murphy's disappearance brings back vivid memories for a Roanoke County family.
Morgan Harrington disappeared in October 2009, her body was found three months later.
Gil Harrington sat down with WDBJ7's David Kaplan and told him how hopeful she is that Alexis Murphy is alright. Click here to see the entire interview with Gil Harrington.
Despite some similarities in the cases, Harrington told us she got a call this morning from State Police and they don't believe the two incidents are connected.
She did say that the time of uncertainty; not knowing anything about where her daughter was or what happened to her was when she was most distraught.
Gil Harrington always wanted for someone who knows something to say something, Harrington told says at this point, that's a family's biggest hope.
"People don't exist in vacuums. Someone saw something happening or has some little piece of information that they are discounting, and they are not letting their intuition come forward," said Gil Harrington.

VAIL, Colorado - If you follow ski racing, or even if you don't, by now you've probably heard of the U.S. Ski Team's youngest star, Mikaela Shiffrin.Shiffrin, a Vail native, is the youngest person ever to win a U.S. Alpine Championship event, and at 17, she's already been on the World Cup podium twice. She had one last year, a third at a slalom in Lienz, Austria, and her most recent podium finish came just this month in Levi, Finland, where she took third in the slalom. That was Nov. 10.Since then, she's been on an absolute whirlwind of media sessions and training runs here in the U.S. The craziness basically began the minute she got off the plane on Nov. 12, and hasn't slowed down since.After traveling from Finland to Munich, Munich to Frankfurt, and finally Frankfurt to Denver on Nov. 11-12, Shiffrin and her parents, Avon residents who dutifully travel with her to her races, were forced to stay in Denver so Mikaela could do some media appearances in Colorado's capital city.On Tuesday, Mikaela did an interview in Denver before the Shiffrins drove back to Avon. Mikaela considers that a "day off." On Wednesday Nov. 14, she was back on the snow, training at Copper in the morning and doing private interviews all afternoon.On Thursday, Nov. 15, Shiffrin woke up at 3:30 a.m., still jet lagged from Finland. She started skiing at 7:30 a.m. at Golden Peak, where she trained until noon. From 12:05 p.m. until 4 p.m. she was the star of a photo shoot for Barilla, one of her sponsors. By 5 p.m., she was at Vail Square in Lionshead doing more interviews and preparing a speech to make while on stage that evening at the U.S. Ski Team Alpine Announcement. She stayed on stage until 7 p.m. or so and was back home in Avon by 8-ish.I've been following Mikaela and the U.S. Ski Team around for the last few weeks, between Copper and Vail. I've been given fantastic access to Mikaela through the ski team's press person, Doug Haney, and I've even had a chance to talk candidly with Mikaela's mother, Eileen Shiffrin, while Mikaela trains.What I've witnessed is a young talent with incredible poise, both on and off the snow, who appears to be a natural for this role and all it entails.But it's not nearly as easy as she's making it look, and she's receiving tremendous support along the way.New starAt the Copper Mountain media session on Nov. 13, Mikaela is all business. With theconfidenceof a veteran racer, she describes her transition onto the new GS skis ("I made the tactical adjustment and it clicked right away"), her run in Levi, ("Witha podium in slalom, I have more confidence"), and the episodes of pain she feels in her shins ("I still don't really know what the problem is, but every athlete competes with some sort of pain").The next day in Vail, I have a chance to catch up with her before the ski team's big alpine announcement, an annual event where the team gets as much of the alpine squad together as they can in one place at one time to announce the names of everyone on said team for that season.We were told by the ski team we'd have a chance to interview the athletes before they went on stage for the announcement. Another reporter and I find Haney and ask for our interviews, and he leads us into a room filled with bright green jackets, the U.S. Ski Team's new color for this season.Haney takes a look around the room. No Bode Miller, no Ted Ligety, no Lindsey Vonn, no Julia Mancuso, no Andrew Weibrecht, not a single member of the "A" squad is there. Except Mikaela, says Haney, feel free to go talk to her.I ask her a few questions about her training and having the comforts of home nearby. She says it's great that she gets to spend time with her family and her pet, Muffin, a large grey and black cat. Then, at one point, she appears to be crying. It turns out she has an eyelash in her eye. We cut the interview short and the next time I see her, she's on stage by herself holding a microphone. With Vonn gone, Shiffrin is the new star of the show, tasked with adding a local flair to the event. She greets the hundreds of people below her and begins her performance, which quickly starts to resemble a standup routine gone bad."How many people here are Vail natives like me?" she asks the crowd. An uncomfortable silence follows."How many people took their first-ever turns at Golden Peak?" she asks. This time the crowd utters a barely audible response of a few clapping hands.She proceeds."I remember going up Chair 6 when I was 5 years old and I couldn't reach the bar," she says, "but going up Chair 12 was a two-person chair, it was tiny, I could put the bar down, it was great. That was my favorite thing."An awkward silence follows. Finally someone lets out a loud "woooooo," seemingly as a courtesy to break up the dead air.After the event, I can't find Mikaela, but I do find Bode Miller. I ask him if he has time for a few quick questions for the local paper. He says he won't be doing interviews that evening. A few minutes later, I see Miller exiting out the back of the stage area. As he quickly walks away, he takes off his bright green jacket, presumably to reduce hisconspicuousnessas he makes his escape. Still a kidA few days later, I'm at Golden Peak during the 9 to 11:30 a.m. training session. I approach Mikaela with the intention of discussing all the media she's been receiving. The conversation quickly turns to a discussion of Thursday's standup routine."I had no idea I was doing that until the night before," she says. "They were like 'Do you mind doing this?' and I said OK. I got up there and I was like 'Wow, that's a lot of people.' I forgot what I was supposed to say ... it was a weird situation."Mikaela takes a run and I have a chance to meet her mother, who's holding a large snow drill, normally used for the hard-labor tasks of ski racing like securing slalom gates into the hillside. Such is the role of an on-course mother, she says. "It seems like it's pretty hard to be Mikaela right about now," I say.Mom tells me I have no idea."She tries really hard to stay focused," Eileen Shiffrin tells me. "She tries really hard to focus on the task at hand ... but she is still just a kid."I compliment Eileen on Mikaela's professionalism, and she puts her hand to her chest and thanks me with more sincerity than I've seen in a while. I get the impression Mom worked pretty hard to instill the high degree of professionalism I see in her young daughter.Mikaela returns, and says she's taking another run. It's nearly noon, all the other athletes from the 11:30 a.m. session are off the snow already."How many runs do you take?" I ask."Several," she says with a laugh."Most of the team does five or six usually," I say. "And you do 10?""Ummmm," says Mikaela."Yes," says Mom.Mikaela skis away and Eileen begins to tell me about Mikaela's particular brand of high-volume training. She's younger, so she can handle more runs than the rest of the athletes, says Mom.I hang out to wait for Mikaela's next run to finish. A few minutes go by and Mikaela cruises right back into the lift line, barely stopping. I run up to her, clumsily pushing a few people out of the way as I cross the snow, and and verify she's doing one more run. Indeed, she is, she tells me.A few minutes pass, and suddenly I'm greeted once again by Eileen, who's running up to me this time."Have you seen Mikaela?" she asks, seeming somewhat concerned."Yeah, she just got on the lift," I reply."Just right now?" Mom confirms."Yes, just a minute ago," I reply."Oh, good. I know she's supposed to be down by now but I didn't see her," says Mom. "I got scared that maybe she skied into the trees or something."At this point it occurs to me that Eileen Shiffrin is a mother above all else, and her assumed role as coach, psychiatrist, manager, agent, drill handler and ski sherpa comes as an obvious second to that primary function of nature.Here is a girl, I think, skiing all over the world on some of the iciest, most difficult conditions on which one can hold an edge, hitting speeds most of us will never experience without the aid of a motor, and if she doesn't show at just the right moment, her poor mother is concerned she's lying dead in an aspen stand.At this point I don't know who has the more difficult job, Mikaela or her mother.Life changesWhen Mikaela finally finishes training for that day, we have a chance to talk about some of the difficulties of her newfound status as a pro athlete and repeat World Cup podium finisher.I approach her the same way I have been after her runs, by walking right up to her and saying "hey" like you would with an old friend. Lindsey Vonn is supposed to make an appearance at any moment to set the pace for Vail Resorts' new Epic Mix Racing program, and in the back of my mind I'm already concerned about how difficult it's going to be to get a quote from Vonn. I've interviewed Vonn a few times in the past, and she's fantastically welcoming, but she's usually surrounded by a barrier of PR suits making it difficult to get at her."If only it were this easy with Lindsey," I think as I approach Mikaela.And then it hits me. I think about Haney referring me to Mikaela at the announcement event, while the rest of the A team were unavailable in an undisclosed location. I think about the team asking her to give an on-stage speech to hundreds on the eve of the event, and her response: "OK." I think about Mikaela's mom telling me they "had" to stay in Denver after getting back from Finland, due to interviews. I think about Mikaela's homework, which, in addition to the usual high-school level math and history, also involves her filling out Q&A requests from journalists in Italy. I think about how much of a pro she was a Copper, answering questions with the same poise as a veteran, and how, as I continued to watch her, she grew more giddy in the days that followed, like a child who gets a little loopy when it's past his or her bedtime.She's exhausted, I think, and at this point in her young career, she's an easy mark for the media. If you're a journalist, she's probably not going to turn you down for an interview. If the goal is to be the next Lindsey Vonn, then she can't be blowing off journalists just yet, like Bode Miller did to me at the ski team event.I make aconsciousdecision to keep this next interview as short as possible, for Mikaela and her mother's sake. But I also decide it's a good time to ask about Lindsey Vonn."I've always had so much respect for her, but I have so much more respect for her now seeing how she handles everything on and off the hill," Mikaela tells me."The past five years have been nonstop for her, she just doesn't get a break."I tell Mikaela if she continues to hit the podium, that's her future. Then I ask her if that thought intimidates her."I don't know if it's intimidating," she said. "I want to have the success a lot, but I mostly just want to ski ... I guess it's kind of nerve racking for me to look at her. That's what I want, but at the same time, if I can sneak out of this a little, I do like to sleep."I ask her if she feelsoverwhelmed."At this point I don't really know anything about all of it so I just get really excited," she says. "You wanna say 'yes' to everything and you don't really have time ... It's hard to explain to people because they say, 'that sounds really cool, don't complain about that.' I'm not complaining, I'm just exhausted."Mikaela got another day off the snow on Thursday, a travel day to get from Vail to Aspen, the scene of the next women's World Cup.She'll race a slalom and a GS there, scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.And as per usual, Mom and Dad will travel with her."In that way, I do have an advantage," she says. "Having family nearby really helps."

Warning: This application breaks with the Safari 3 Beta.
I created some replace icons, so it looks much nicer now: :)
This also fails for me using 10.4.9 - just getting a blank page.
Huh? This thing doesn't work at all for me (OS 10.4.9). I get a blank page no matter what chm file I open...
Great application but absolutely horrible icon. I found a much better one and now I'm happy with it =). Seems to be the only CHM viewer on mac with search functionality.
I used to use Chmox but a couple of its drawer tabs (including search) don't seem to appear any more. I tried xCHM but it only seems to be able to handle one .chm file at a time. So, now I'm using Chamonix :-)
Looks like the best UB option for viewing CHM files at the moment. The app looks solid, although the icons are atrocious. Maybe I'll create some of my own....

Dear FF,ReplyDelete
It's so lovely to read your post. I've had what can only be described as a less than perfect day and it's so comforting to read about your party and to see the tassel necklace.
Here's to tomorrow throwing some shine onto some unpleasantness.
I believe that the weather is going to be rather hot everyone tomorrow so lets all be safe and out of the sun.
Seriously laughing so hard about baby FF thinking he's invisible. Love life's little funnies.
B. x
Love it. My mum is a teacher and her staff room always had the coolest most complicated Secret Santas ever, always going for weeks and each gift more creative than the last.ReplyDelete
Sometimes I put my hands over my eyes and pretend I'm invisible too, mostly when I'm sitting on the loo and the kid is banging on the door shouting "mummy are you finished YET!!!???"
The baby is adorable. Was the perfume your choice of secret santa present?ReplyDelete
Honestly that tassel neck piece is the Bee's Knees, and I love the way you coordinated your outfit with the lunch pizza! Lovely day indeed! XReplyDelete
Your new jar is great. Must have been hard for your SS to find. That old "I can't see you, so I'm invisible" thing is terrible cute. I'd forgotten all about it. Such good times!ReplyDelete

love the orange colour scheme running though that outfit and the Baby's shorts, with a touch of green with accessorizes.ReplyDelete
Loving the pic of The (Invisible) Baby. Such a gorgeous age xReplyDelete
I think that happens as we get older, our dresses become tops! Nice jar,lucky you.ReplyDelete
That's so funny re the baby putting his hands over his eyes! We had a pet rooster that used to think the same thing. If you were chasing him to catch him, he'd run to the nearest patch of ivy or a bush and stick his head in it. We'd then walk up behind him and pick him up. He was always surprised we knew where he was. xxReplyDelete

Finding good secret Santa gifts can be Challenging, to say the least! Your SS has done Very Well. I'm hoping I can do as well when I hit the shops as SS.ReplyDelete
Had a Big Win on the Style Tread sale earlier this week- Very Happy! Got a pair of striped wedges similar to your pink/navy/white beauties. Love a bargain- came to $21.80 for 2 pairs DELIVERED!
Don't think I could shove my pudgy bits into any of my older clothes! Secret Santa chose well!ReplyDelete
Love the colour of your jeans in the picture. Took a leaf out of your book and had lunch with my girlfriends today. We made a pact to have mid week champagne more often!ReplyDelete
So so cute the little man's way of becoming "invisible"! I love the way children think!ReplyDelete
I wish I could eat that pizza. I miss it now I am no longer a Bris resident. JxReplyDelete

Love that necklace to bits, can't wait till tomorrow when Neon collection is launched!ReplyDelete
Must say I am so appreciative of your boobies post. Helped one of my dearest friends through a mastectomy last friday, only to have another dear friend breast biopsied on tuesday of this week :( it has been a terrible time - I am emotionally wrecked and it is not even happening to me..... I flicked links on to both your post and RPE post to show that there is bling at the end of their journey.
Love the jar, my Mum has bee glasses she bought home from France - brings a holiday mood just taking a sip out of them.

Love a thoughtful gift. Watching you run around with summer outfits - over here there's snow on the ground and it's positively freezing out! Hats and gloves are in order.
Luff your stalwart! The necklace matches yet again.ReplyDelete
Oh it is SO lovely to see the sun! It's positively freezing here today and whilst it's been clear and crisp it's COLD!ReplyDelete
Lovely to see you having a festive pizza for your Christmas lunch.
Loving your secret Santa gift and the orange necklace.
Babies and toddlers are so cute when they cover their eyes and think that no one can see them. I luff playing peek a boo with our 2 and a half year old grand daughter!ReplyDelete
Your green necklace is wonderful on you.
Love that jar too....it looks very French.
Dear Ms FF, I love lilies too - they often have the most intoxicating scent. It looks so lovely and summery in Brissie - orange seems such a summery colour. I have heard that a very famous grandma featured on another blog loves loves loves your posts when they feature Little FF - the photo of him being invisible will be a big hit with her!!! I am so glad you will always have a record of these lovely and funny moments as before you know it, they will be big!!! It is cold and rainy where I am - but am off to champers and dinner with best friend- I know, am channeling you! love LundaxxxReplyDelete
I don't need to win anything--just want to tell you that I always enjoy your pics and posts. Keep on posting!!ReplyDelete
(and on the hiding note, I used to see rabbits "hide" from me when I'd be out on early morning walks. Like the rooster cited above, they'd stick their heads into the bushes and leave their fat furry behinds sticking out in plain sight. It was hilarious.)

Love the tassel necklace.ReplyDelete
I saw your pic and tried to wear a short necklace with a long one today and look absolutely ridiculous, like I was being strangled - you always look so together FF. Trivia : Orange (my favourite colour) is the only colour that is a fruit.ReplyDeleteReplies
I know - even I don't know how FF manages that one. It is a VERY advanced necklace manoeuvre! L xxDelete
I read always but rarely comment FF. Love your posts. Is baby FF taking a photo of himself too? So cute!ReplyDelete
I'm having a giveaway too; here's a link should you wish to enter.
Todays the last day!

I was channeling you last night FF as I lay under our Christmas tree and just gazed at it. The other half was most confused about why I was lying on the floor, he does not understand the Christmas tree love.ReplyDelete
Thank you for that huge laugh! I remember each of my boys hiding so completely and effectively the same way.ReplyDelete
Your Secret Santa had you pegged.
I am loving all the festive colour!ReplyDelete

Wow, I am so impressed that you can wheel out a dress from 2006 and it still fits and you still like it and it's still fashionable. Today I am wearing a turquoise silk dress that I bought at Portmans years ago. Always felt it made me look larger that I am. Now that I actually (and regrettably) am larger, it is fine!ReplyDelete
That is one of my favorite tops of yours - I've spent hours searching the net and haunting various stores for something similar, but nothing comes up as pretty as yours. Looks great with orange beads. The glass jar is a perfect gift for you - what wonderful friends you have. I do believe you'll make 1000 posts any minute - I'll be sad when you slow down to your normal warp-speed! xoReplyDelete

'Power of Pink' meet puts color into campus, city
There's a reason for hue of lights around Tuscaloosa
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:24 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Sarah Patterson was stopped at the grocery store one day by a woman who recognized her from somewhere.
It wasn't because Patterson is a six-time national champion gymnastics coach or that she just won back-to-back titles.
"Aren't you the pink lady?" the woman asked.
Patterson, the University of Alabama gymnastics coach now in her 35th year with the program, started her "Power of Pink" initiative eight years ago, and the movement that raises awareness for breast cancer has since moved across campus and into Tuscaloosa once a year.
Alabama gymnastics will host Kentucky on Friday night for its annual "Power of Pink" meet, and the town will be more pink than ever.
"I love it," Patterson said. "There's people working night and day to get this done. ... Everybody just keeps helping it grow."
Like it has been since 2005, Coleman Coliseum will be washed in pink inside and out.
Last year, the pink expanded into other parts of campus and will continue for the 2013 meet. Denny Chimes will have pink floodlights set up outside, and the Ferguson Center plaza will be lit pink as well, with the fountain spouting pink water.
The dome of the University Recreation Center will glow pink, too.
"It's bigger than us, it's bigger than Alabama-Kentucky," senior gymnast Ashley Sledge said. "It's a movement. And it's an honor to be a part of it."
And there will be even more pink this year.
Some fraternity and sorority houses already have pink floodlights in their yards, and the Bama Theatre's marquee will have pink bulbs for the weekend.
Duane Lamb, assistant vice president for facilities and grounds operations at UA, said in a phone interview that it's a weeklong operation actually installing and setting up the "pink-out." But the process begins long before the season rolls around.
Lamb and his team meet in the fall, when the pink meet, among other topics, is discussed. This year, the planning and collection of supplies had to begin a little earlier, since the meet is occurring in the third week of the season.
"(Patterson's) very, very good at what she does," Lamb said. "She gets everything done and is a pretty impressive lady."
Lamb and the facilities department are also aided by art professors like Craig Wedderspoon, who oversee the creative side of things, such as how to light up the Recreation Center dome.
Wedderspoon said in an email he would be up at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning starting work on Coleman Coliseum.
For the fountain, a pink dye is applied by workers that gives the water its color. Lamb said the dye is environmentally safe and washes out after a few days.

Miffed at the way he was perceived on the ABC reality series, the so-called "worst Bachelor ever" now apparently believes he's the most misunderstood Bachelor ever.
"It's hard because (viewers) saw a character on TV," Juan Pablo Galavis told People magazine. "A lot of things about me were not shown. I'm not a bad guy. People who know me, know who I am."
Juan Pablo's rocky run on "The Bachelor" came to an brutally ugly end on Monday. During the show's season finale, he offended runner-up Clare Crawley, who claimed he made a nasty remark about how he loved to hook up with her (but saying it in more vulgar terms).
Then he declined to give an engagement ring, or even issue a simple "I love you" to Nikki Ferrell, who received the final rose.
Earlier in the season, Juan Pablo made some homophobic remarks in an off-camera interview (he said his words were taken out of context) and he received criticism for his rude treatment of some women on "The Bachelor." Two contestants angrily walked off the show.
Like a lot of vilified reality TV stars, Juan Pablo is apparently blaming it all on the producers and editors of the show. The Venezuelan-born single dad blew off his Tuesday "Good Morning America" appearance, as well as other interview gigs that the Bachelors typically do after the season ends.
A source told US Weekly that "Juan is so angry with the 'Bachelor' production team. He's had major tension with them since right when he got back from filming. Juan thought they gave him no privacy and wanted to know too much about his personal life and what he was doing all the time."
Things came to a head during the "After the Rose" special taping on Monday, the source said. "He was so fed up with everyone on staff there. He said he wasn't going to do anything they said anymore."
On Tuesday, instead of a typical round of appearances on GMA and other shows, Galavis offered up an Instagram a shot of him and Ferrell with the caption, "We are FREE," which was followed by another message: "Throw me to the wolves and I'll come back leading the pack."

Editor's note: This is the third is a series of articles about how to get your property sold in 67 days. Go to www.summitdaily.com and search for "market insights" to see the first two articles.
Let's start with a recap of how to sell in 67 days: 1) Plan ahead. 2) Know the market. 3) Make the commitment to sell. 4) Select your Realtor. 5) Work as a team. 5) Prepare your property. 6) Explode onto the market. 7) Listen, listen, listen. 8) Take action. 9) Don't worry, be happy. 10) Snag the right buyer. 11) Keep every commitment. 12) Sign on the dotted line.
As I mentioned last week, I highly recommend taking the first three steps above before meeting with any Realtors. The more prepared you are, the better off you will be.
Never, ever, consider selling until you are familiar with the market you are selling in and you have a concept of what your property will sell for, versus what you think it is worth. If you are resident of Summit County, this is easier, as you are probably following the market consistently. However, for second-home owners, there is analytical preparation to be done.
A great place to start is to invest in a professional valuation prepared by a Colorado licensed appraiser. Warning: watch out for appraisers who do not have an
intimate knowledge of this market.
Don't select an appraiser from an Internet search without interviewing him or her. Here are three essential questions. 1) Are you a member of the Summit Association of Realtors? 2) When was the last time you conducted an appraisal in my neighborhood? 3) How many appraisals have you completed in the town that my property is located in? The answers are certain to find you the right person with whom to work.
Why spend the money? Because it is an investment in selling a major asset. Every time I have worked with the executor of an estate, the executor has obtained an appraisal before contacting me to sell the property. Why? Because the few hundred bucks paid to the appraiser is viewed as a cost-effective way to obtain an independent view of the property, something the estate needs.
If you are not willing to spend the money, ask yourself why. There could be many very valid reasons. For example, the young woman I mentioned last week, who my team negotiated with her bank to completely forgive her $100,000 loss, did not have the money. On the other hand, if you can afford it, but just don't want to spend the money, then you have another question to answer. "Do I really want to sell?"
Of course there are many other ways to know the market. You can spend the time and effort to learn the market. Here are three "do's:"
• Read blogs from sources you trust, such a Summit County-based Realtors.
• Study the tax records at http://www.co.summit.co.us.
• Use any one of the local real estate firm websites that have a direct link to the Summit Association of Realtors' data (if you are not sure, call the office and ask).
And here are three "don'ts:"
• Do not use national websites, such as Zillow. These sites are not accurate and often the data is out of date.
• Do not depend on hearsay. Neighbors often say things such as, "We are happy with the price we sold for," which leads you to think the property sold for near the asking price, when in reality, it may have been 25 percent less.
• Do not ask five different Realtors to give you a "quick best guess" over the phone.
See you next Saturday when we will talk about the final fundamental step to take before selecting your Realtor.
Love life, DWJ

"I had no issues with that. I don't know why people are making a big deal about that. They like to do that. Basically what happened is that [referee] Joe [Cortez] called timeout after a blatant foul by [Victor] Ortiz. He separated the fighters, takes Victor around the ring, takes a point away, goes to restart them. He turns to the timekeeper and says, 'Time in.' Victor decides to hug Floyd yet again. I'm not sure how many times he planned on hugging Floyd.
Joe had called time in, Floyd waited until Joe had called time in, and then he punched him in the face. Which, I don't blame Floyd for. If a guy headbutts me, I'd want to punch him in the face too. I think that Floyd's not getting the credit that he deserves. Floyd didn't retaliate. He waited. He waited. He waited. Until the referee said 'Time in,' and then he let him have it. Good for Floyd. Good for Floyd," Keith Kizer, Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
"That's [Kizer] the same guy who picked Cortez. That's the same guy who was charged with the responsibility of protecting the fighters in the four corners of the ring and failed to do so. So that gives him a whole helluva a lot of credibility… So next time Ortiz cheap shots someone, then I want the Nevada Athletic Commission director to applaud him also. What a f___ing joke that is," Rolando Arellano, Victor Ortiz's manager.
Victor Ortiz, his manager, Rolando Arellano, and his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, did their best to plead their case during a media conference call on Monday.
The trio asserted that Ortiz was not only unfairly dethroned as welterweight titleholder during his fourth-round knockout loss to Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but that the 24-year-old fighter deserves a return bout.
"We're going to explore every single option that there is for Victor Ortiz to get this Mayweather rematch," said De La Hoya, adding that Mayweather will fight Ortiz again if he has "honor."
"If it doesn't happen, then we'll go back to the drawing board and explore every other option for his next fight."
While De La Hoya called the actions of Mayweather (42-0, 26 knockouts) "bad sportsmanship," and Ortiz (29-3-2, 22 KOs) called the finishing blow, "a cheap shot," Arellano went even further.
Calling Mayweather "a punk" who "pot-shots" Ortiz, Arellano said his fighter was simply retaliating after having been the victim of illegal tactics, including elbows, from Mayweather.
Others, like trainer Kevin Cunningham, disagree.
"I like Victor. I've known Victor since he was 10 years old," said Cunningham, who trains former IBF and WBC junior welterweight titleholder Devon Alexander.
"But the way that I see it is that Victor took it to the streets, got frustrated, and tried to use his head like a battering ram to hit Floyd in his face. That's what he did. Victor took it to the streets, and Floyd finished it."
The situation developed in the fight when Ortiz went to embrace Mayweather and to apologize for a third time following an earlier illegal and intentional headbutt, this, after having been warned for an even earlier such infraction.
Mayweather briefly obliged. But in the next split-instant, Mayweather nailed Ortiz — whose hands still were down at his side — with a head-swiveling left hook followed by a straight right that sent Ortiz sprawling to his back.
"Victor was displaying the highest standards of sportsmanlike conduct and was apologetic. Being a gentleman of the sport, he goes to apologize," said Arellano. "But you know what this punk does? Pot-shots him."
Arellano said referee Joe Cortez did not appear to be looking directly at the fighters until the first of Mayweather's punches landed.
Arellano said he had expressed concerns to Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which regulates boxing in the state, about Cortez's officiating during a meeting the day before the fight.
"If the referee is not going to protect the fighter there, after the fighter complains, 'Hey, man, he hit me two times,'" said Arellano, "Victor Ortiz basically did what he had to do to defend himself."
Ortiz rolled to his right and reached his hands and knees but failed to beat the 10-count of Cortez.
"Floyd clearly started the way that the street-fight began… I was in the ring, personally with Floyd Mayweather, who loves and endears his elbows. But I wasn't having it. I apologized for the headbutt. I got a point deducted for it," said Ortiz.
"But I ended up getting the boot for it in the end anyway. Personally, I think that was a cheap shot. I don't care what you call it. At the end of the day, Floyd is not respected by me and never will be in my eyes as a pound-for-pound fighter."
But in separate interviews, fighters such as former IBF junior welterweight beltholder Paulie Malignaggi and WBA and IBF 140-pound titleholder Amir Khan supported Mayweather's actions.
"How can it be a legal sucker punch when the guy just butted the s__t out of you intentionally every second, you know what I mean? That's not a sucker punch any more," said Malignaggi.
"It was a domino effect. Had Victor not done that, that whole situation and that scenario doesn't even arise. In every way that you look at it, Victor brought it upon himself."
Khan agreed.
"When in the boxing ring, you must always defend himself. You are there to fight. What Mayweather did in there was right, in my opinion. The ref did say, 'box on,'" said Khan.
"But even when he was hit with the first shot, the left hook, you could see Ortiz looking over at the referee — maybe thinking it was a foul and that he hadn't said, 'box on' — whereas really his hands should have gone straight up and he should have defended himself."
Ortiz said he thought Mayweather panicked because he was on his way to his fist loss.
"I had the upper hand in that fight and I personally think that he was fearing the fact that I was coming on, round-after-round," said Ortiz.
"I was getting stronger, he was getting weaker, and his punches weren't phasing me. Every punch of mine, he was smiling. Fighters smile when they're hurting."
But RING and WBC light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins said it was the other way around.
"Floyd Mayweather, you know, I believe that he was just getting into his rhythm and was about to make it a whole lot worse for Victor Ortiz. Victor Ortiz, I believe was frustrated and understood what was happening, and understood what was going to happen in the fight continued the way it was going," said Hopkins.
"That headbutt was a result of frustration and his inexperience. …Floyd did what I would have done. You know, we can call it a sucker punch, yes. But it was a legal sucker punch…So Mayweather did what I would have done under the circumstances."
Although Arellano blamed Cortez, referee Kenny Bayless, who worked an under card fight on Mayweather-Ortiz, supported Cortez's actions.
"As an official, we tell the fighters repeatedly to protect yourselves at all times. And, you know, Ortiz did the headbutt, and Joe stopped it and called time, and deducted a point. At that point, when Joe steps back and calls time back in, the fight continues then. Now the extra apology thing that they did, that's on them. But you have to protect yourself at all times, because the fight, now, has to start," said Bayless directly after the fight in a lobby at the MGM.
"And it's just unfortunate that Victor had his hands down and got hit with those shots. But we tell them all the time that you have to protect yourself at all times. I don't know if that was inexperience on his part or what. But, you know, we make the rules very clear. Protect yourself. And if you don't protect yourself, well, then it's on you now. There wasn't a whole lot that Joe could do."
If a rematch with Mayweather doesn't happen, would Arellano and De Le Hoya consider a return bout with IBF titleholder Andre Berto, whom Ortiz dethroned by unanimous decision in April that featured two knockdowns each of both fighters?
"We have an obligation as the promoter and the manager to exhaust all of our resources to try to get some type of redress for this Mayweather fight. If we're not successful in our efforts, then we'll look at the next best thing for Victor Ortiz. Is it really Andre Berto? Because we don't need Andre Berto. Andre Berto needs us," said Arellano.
"I can take Victor Ortiz and put him in any Hispanic market across the United States and fill up an arena. Can you do that with Andre Berto? Absolutely not. Maybe an interim belt. Maybe we re-position ourselves for No. 1 so that we can actually make Mayweather come back into it."
In the meantime, however, Mayweather could pursue a mega-bout with WBO welterweight beltholder Manny Pacquiao, should the Filipino icon win his third bout against Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12.
"But if Manny Pacquiao doesn't fight him, where is Mayweather going to make the most amount of resources?" said Arellano. "The only honorable thing to do here is to get him the rematch."

DOE Awards $7 Million for Storage Technologies in Fuel Cell Vehicles
DOE announced on December 12 more than $7 million in funding for four projects in California, Oregon, and Washington to advance hydrogen storage technologies for use in fuel-cell electric vehicles. The 3-year projects will help cut costs and increase the performance of hydrogen storage systems by developing innovative materials and advanced tanks. DOE is committed to advanced fuel cell technology research to help domestic automakers bring more fuel cell electric vehicles to market.
The selected organizations are providing close to $2 million in cost share for projects to lower the cost of compressed hydrogen storage systems and develop advanced materials for hydrogen storage. Compressed hydrogen storage provides a near-term pathway to commercialization, and reduced costs for compressed tank systems will accelerate their market availability and adoption. Advanced materials-based hydrogen storage technologies will enable more efficient storage at lower pressures than current compressed hydrogen tanks allow.
Among the projects, DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will use a coordinated approach to reduce the costs associated with compressed hydrogen storage systems by focusing on improving carbon fiber composite materials and the design and manufacture of hydrogen storage tanks. HRL Laboratories, LLC, of Malibu, California, will investigate an innovative approach to hydrogen storage using engineered liquids that can efficiently absorb and release hydrogen gas. DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and partners will use a theory-guided approach to synthesize novel materials with high hydrogen-adsorption capacities. And, a teamed headed by the University of Oregon, including DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, will develop and test promising new materials for hydrogen storage. The proposed chemical-hydrogen storage materials could enable liquid refueling, and regeneration of the hydrogen-storage material, within temperature and pressure ranges suitable for both onboard mobile and stationary fuel cell applications. See the DOE press release and the Fuel Cell Technologies Program website.

Oak Ridge took the No. 1-ranked Maryville to the brink but a pair of tough touchdowns late made the difference as the Rebels defeated the Wildcats 39-25.
Down 25-10 at halftime, Oak Ridge (10-2) flexed its muscle in the third quarter. The Wildcats ate up more than 8 minutes of clock on the opening drive of the second half and capped the 16-play, 74-yard drive with a 12-yard pass that cut the lead in half.
Two plays later, Rian Hall intercepted a Maryville (12-0) pass and returned it to the 2-yard line. Hall would push the nose of the ball across the goal line two plays after that and a Brett Beeler kick would tie the game.
Maryville answered with running back Shawn Prevo and the final two scores to advance to the Class 6A quarterfinals.

Radiation therapy
is the use of beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles called radiation to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
Radiation may be recommended to treat kidney cancer if you are not a candidate for surgery. In general, kidney cancer is resistant to radiation treatments, but the therapy could be useful to treat pain that has spread to other parts of the body. The treatment may slow the growth of the disease, but it will not cure the cancer.
External radiation is used to treat kidney cancer. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Treatments are given at a hospital or radiation center, usually once a day, five days per week. The daily time spent receiving the external beam therapy is short.

Gray J's observations at 7.1 1 8, 1 3.73 and 13.74
147.At 7.118 Gray J observes that:--
"The Defendants accept that the physical evidence remaining at the site of Auschwitz provides little evidence to support the claim that gas chambers were operated there for genocidal purposes."
148.Irving adopts that observation, and all that Gray J says at 13.73 e.g.:--
"The contemporaneous documents, such as drawings, plans, correspondence with contractors and the like, yield little clear evidence of the existence of gas chambers designed to kill humans."
149.Para. 13.74, is also generally adopted, especially "the possibility exists that some of these witnesses invented some or even all of the experiences which they describe." Gray J is however wrong to attribute the Bischoff incineration document (see above) to Mueller; Gray J repeats this error at 13.76.

Q&A: Cuomo Discusses Sandy Aid Bill
New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie released a joint statement Wednesday excoriating the House of Representatives for its failure to take up a bill in the waning hours of the congressional session that would have provided $60 billion in aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
"With all that New York and New Jersey and our millions of residents and small businesses have suffered and endured, this continued inaction and indifference by the House of Representatives is inexcusable," the statement said.
At a cabinet meeting Wednesday in Albany, Mr. Cuomo elaborated on that statement for nearly half an hour in response to questions from reporters, praising the bipartisanship of the New York and New Jersey congressional delegations while repeatedly criticizing the House leadership's performance. What follows is an edited transcript of his comments:
Question: How do you think Republicans have handled guiding the Sandy Aid package, which they didn't vote on, but also the fiscal cliff?
Cuomo: Terribly…. It was a failure. It was a disgrace. I believe it was a dereliction of duty. I believe government matters, and the functioning of government matters and to leave New York and New Jersey and thousands of people in this holiday season on their own and abandoned was wrong and disgraceful in a lot of ways. … To say to a region that was hurt by a natural disaster, and now you have to rebuild yourself and you have to fund the reconstruction, adds insult to injury. … I think it's inexcusable on every level."
…"I don't think there's anything we could have done or should have done. The Speaker and Mr. Cantor told me and told everyone the vote was going to be yesterday. And, then the vote wasn't yesterday and it was going to be this morning and then the vote wasn't this morning. Now I'm a governor and what's most important to me is the bottom line at the end of the day and we need the resources, and they're now saying the resources will be provided and the bill will be passed in about a month. Obviously from a timing point of view, I would have rather the aid start sooner rather than later, but what's most important is that we get the assistance, so that's what I'll be focused on."
Question: What is the impact from the delay?
Cuomo: "Go ask any family in Lindenhurst, in the Rockaways and Staten Island if the delay bothers them and then step back after you ask the question. The answer is obvious, and the question is somewhat repulsive in and of itself. Yes, the length of time people have been suffering and waiting has already been too long and the federal assistance can make a major difference in their lives. … It's going to be less about the state budget; it's going to be more of an impact on individual families and local governments."
Question: Do you feel that your lobbying in this case has failed? Is there more you're planning to do?
Cuomo: "I don't know what else I can do. I don't know what else the delegation can do. I mean you go listen to the speeches of Congressman [Peter] King and Congressman [Michael] Grimm. I don't think it was a question of them not understanding. Everybody understood the need. Everybody agreed. And then, part of the confusion, part of the dysfunction, the vote didn't happen.
Question: Governor, how about the fact there's a lot of so-called pet projects, pork in the Sandy bill? Do you feel like that made a difference at all, and do you think they should be in there?
Cuomo: "I think the exact opposite. There is no one. You've heard that from no one. Did you hear anyone say that?" …"There was never any conversation on the merits. About the bill or the funding or the program or the use. It was purely the politics of the way it played out it was all politics. And it was all Republican politics, frankly, on the house side. Not our Republicans, not our delegation. I haven't had a single question from anyone on any item in the package. There was no substantive issue."
Question: Governor, Congressman King said he felt it was prejudice against New York and New Jersey in the house. He also said it was a knife in the back. You've had some critical comments here today. Do you think there's less of a chance now to get anywhere near what you requested?
Cuomo: "I think it's just a reflection of comments on the situation that they caused. You know, from Peter King's point of view … he was told repeatedly that the vote would happen last night. This was not a casual issue. There were multiple conversations for days. For days. … So this was, very extensively discussed and resolved. I understand the political discourse, I'm not an expert on it, nor do I want to be but I understand there are political dynamics within the conference. I understand the speaker has to be reelected and a new congress starts. I get all that, but that's their politics. And I don't really care about their politics. … That Congress was supposed to pass a supplemental that helped families that were hurt in a disaster. That's what they were supposed to do, that's what they said they would do … that's what the agreement was, that's what the Senate had done, and time matters. … And it's the timing for the individual families that are suffering that I'm concerned about. I'm not all that concerned about the timing for the Speaker of the House and his reelection and his politics. And that's what it is."

Morgan Wilkinson is your typical 12-year-old. He loves camping, skiing, four-wheeling and playing with the family dogs. He's a Rockies fan. He spent spring break in Florida, boogie boarding in the surf with his older brother Robert. His plan when he grows up is to become a professional golfer.
Unlike many of his peers, however, Morgan has a heightened sense of gratitude. At age 6, he contracted a rare disease called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome, associated with acute kidney failure, among other symptoms.
"He was pretty sick," said Karen Wilkinson, Morgan's mother.
It was Labor Day weekend and Morgan wasn't feeling well. He looked tired, Wilkinson said, and she planned to take him in for a checkup during the week. Then, while roughhousing with his brother, he fell on his side.
"It was an instant bruise," Wilkinson said, "And we thought, 'What causes that?'"
A trip to the doctor quickly revealed that all was not right and in just two days Morgan was at the hospital in Denver. He spent the next year in and out of the hospital, doing dialysis and other treatments to get him stable and well enough to go onto the kidney transplant list.
That time was hard on the family. Robert stayed with family friends while Karen and her husband, Steve, traded off spending nights in the hospital with Morgan. Many times, it was unclear whether Morgan would make it.
Then, in an instant, everything changed.
On July 5, one day after Morgan's birthday, the family got a phone call informing them that Morgan had been placed at the top of the donor list. All he had to do was wait for a match. Karen and Steve both got tested. It turned out Karen was a good match, but the process to become an organ donor can take a year or more.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait that long. On July 17 they got another phone call, this time announcing there was a kidney for Morgan. He went into surgery on the 19th and started improving from there.
"We're lucky (his story) has a good ending," Karen Wilkinson said. "There were quite a few times we were pretty worried he wasn't going to be there."
Now, Morgan lives a relatively normal life. Aside from having to take a few pills, being extra safe with germs and avoiding contact sports like football, Morgan is just like any other kid his age.
The experience has motivated him to spread information about organ donation among his friends and others in the community. He particularly enjoys working with the Chris Klug Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Aspen and founded by liver transplant recipient and Olympic medalist snowboarder Chris Klug. As one of the "Donor Dudes," Morgan participates in the organization's events and works to educate others about organ donation.
Morgan's goal, he said, is "to help spread organ donation, and to get my friends into it."
While Morgan is doing well for now, it's possible he may need another transplant in the future. The kidney he received came from a 10-year-old boy who died in an accident. Organs from a live donor tend to do better in the long run than those taken from cadavers.
"When I got that phone call, I was really happy for him," Wilkinson said, "but then I looked at my husband and I said, 'Somebody's dying.' And that's really sad, but in a way they live on."
By working with the Donor Dudes at the Chris Klug Foundation, Morgan hopes to continue to raise awareness and increase understanding of organ donations. However, he has already had an impact when it comes to donation.
Brad Dickerson has known the Wilkinson family for many years. Several years ago the families became neighbors, living next to each other up on Peak 7 in Breckenridge. The kids play together and the families will take joint camping trips.
When Morgan got sick, the Dickersons threw their support behind the Wilkinson family. They visited Morgan while he was in the hospital and rejoiced when the news came that he had gotten a kidney.
The whole experience got Brad Dickerson thinking. He visits the Denver Children's Hospital from time to time with his daughter Terra, who has cerebral palsy. Dickerson took the opportunity to learn more about kidney donation.
What he learned surprised and amazed him.
"It was really fascinating to find out about it," he said. "I never really knew about this stuff."
Armed with information, Dickerson took about six months to think the decision over. He discussed it with his family and took time to educate himself about the process.
"There's a lot of factors, so I was pretty moved by that, and it was really difficult decision because I wasn't quite sure," he said, "but they want people to donate by about 50 years of age. After that it's a little problematic for them and more issues arise, so I just turned 50 so that was kind of my time if I wanted to do it."
As a potential donor, Dickerson was also under scrutiny from the hospital.
"They do a lot of testing," he explained. "Then what I was really surprised about, too, was they assign you a case worker, a psychologist, an independent advocator who's not even associated with the hospital at all. This whole team of people, they really kind of grill you - why do you want to do this, are you sure, are you financially able to, are you helpful enough? That whole process took like a year. ... I thought this would be like come in a week from Thursday and you can donate your kidney," he added with a laugh.
Finally, all the hoops had been jumped through. In December of 2012, Dickerson went to Denver and had one of his kidneys removed. It was flown to Michigan, where a match had been found.
Although it was a somewhat nerve-wracking experience, Dickerson said he's glad that he did it and has no regrets.
"It was a great learning experience, just incredibly educational," he said. A friendly, outgoing person by nature, Dickerson speaks enthusiastically about what he learned and what the experience was like. He laughs through descriptions of his nervousness and beams when he discusses the results.
"Living here in Summit County, we're so lucky, we're so fortunate, and every day you wake up, and ... it's just the most beautiful place, and to live here, you're so fortunate. And then you see people like Morgan, who came close to death, and you see people who are on dialysis and it's a difficult life, and those people are going to die unless they get a kidney.
"And then being at the Children's Hopsital (in Denver) a lot, it only takes five minutes in that hospital and you see cancer patients and kids who are going to die, and you just realize how fortunate you are, so to be able to donate a kidney and to save someone's life seemed like a pretty easy thing to do."

SANTA CLARA -- Stevie Johnson is the favorite to see the most action as the 49ers' No. 3 wideout this season. So when he lost his footing in Wednesday's practice at Levi's Stadium, it wasn't too surprising that triggered Jim Harbaugh to order his team off the maligned turf.
Johnson appeared to jog off whatever leg or ankle injury he incurred, and the 49ers surely will need him when they deploy more multiple-receiver sets this season.
Johnson predicts the 49ers' offense will be "pretty dynamic," even if it has been pretty dormant through two exhibitions.
Johnson arrived in a draft-day trade as one such asset. Rookie wideout Bruce Ellington quickly has garnered praise from Harbaugh. Add in the reincarnation of Brandon Lloyd's career and the 49ers have enough complements to starters Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree.
"I'm pretty sure everybody already knows the bulk of it will be with Crab and Boldin, so we're just fitting in right after that," Johnson said.
"It's all about how does that matchup against a particular team," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "We haven't lived in the three wide-receiver sets like some have."
Two more exhibitions will give way, however, to meaningful football for a 49ers offense determined to feature more playmakers.
Johnson said coaches are "doing well at mixing up" the rotation of wideouts when they go to multiple-receiver formations. Perhaps the quickest of that receiving corps, Johnson isn't being introduced to strictly one position, as he's taking reps at multiple spots, as is the 49ers' norm with all of their wideouts.
"Whenever you get your opportunity, make it work," said Johnson, who reached the 1,000-yard mark in three of his past four seasons with Buffalo. "We have a lot of good players that can make plays. Not all can be on the field at once."
Roman noted that the 49ers historically have split out Vernon Davis and other tight ends. "I like where our wide receivers are," Roman added. "They're working hard, and there's a good chance that you'll see more of them."
"I've made some mental mistakes but I'm getting better," said Moody, a 2013 sixth-round draft pick whose case is bolstered by playing on all four punt and kickoff units. The 49ers thought enough of his potential last season that they used their lone injured-reserve/designated-for-return tag on him after a Week 1 fractured hand.
Moody plays strictly the "Jack" linebacker position, where Patrick Willis lined up at the past three years next to Bowman. Willis will shift to the "Mike" role if Wilhoite beats out Borland, a third-round draft pick who has been groomed at "Mike."
"We've got some history with Josh and I feel really good about that," Roman said. "A couple things happened in the games he'd like to take back, maybe do over."
Johnson, battling to unseat Blaine Gabbert for the No. 2 role, was cut after the 2012 training camp. Roman noted that although Johnson's opportunities have been limited in the exhibition games, the practices have served "as a good barometer."

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office was conducting pacing operations on Highway 82, primarily through Snowmass Canyon, as conditions warranted during a winter storm earlier this week. Patrol Director Jeff Lumsden said with another round of storms on its way, those operations will continue as the weather calls for it.
Getting drivers into a safe pace creates fewer opportunities for accidents to happen, Lumsden said.
A winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service remains in effect until 6 p.m. Jan. 31. As of Jan. 29, the Weather Service was calling for 10 to 20 inches of snow. Winds and blowing snow are possible, which would make travel very hazardous or impossible, it said.

Obama-shine is def over
In a recent gallup poll, the approval rating of Congress has hit an all time low at 13%. This includes a 15% with Democrats. This is interesting when one looks at the Democrat approval ratings after Obama became President. They were averaging in the 30s and was even as high as 63%. I think the luster that Obama gave the Dems in Congress is now over. Their typical behavior has worn it away.
