Writers Guild evening of member readings
Members of the Walnut Creek Writers Guild will host an evening of original readings by its members Thursday, Oct. 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Walnut Creek Library. 1644 N. Broadway, in the Las Trampas Room.
The evening will feature Elaine Starkman of Walnut Creek, one of the guild's members, reading some of the poetry from her newest published work, "Hearing Beyond Sound." Copies of that book will be available for purchase.
Other contributing guild members expected to participate are Norma Armon of Oakland, Alessandro Baktyar of Walnut Creek, Lindsay Levin of Dublin, Ramon Sevilla of Lafayette, Sandy Shaller of Walnut Creek and Webb Johnson of Walnut Creek.
The Walnut Creek Writers Guild was started a year ago by Shaller, who had just retired from 43 years as a teacher and school principal and moved with his wife from New York to Walnut Creek to be closer to their older son and his family.
The purpose of the group (www.meetup.com/The-Walnut-Creek-Writers-Guild-com/) is to provide honest and supportive feedback for writers (published and nonpublished) with the goal of furthering their art. The group meets once a month at the Walnut Creek Library. Two weeks after each meeting, members submit a piece of writing they would like read and critiqued. At the monthly meeting, we offer deep and thoughtful feedback on each piece. Writers are encouraged to revise and resubmit.
The group also has a reference page on its website with helpful information on agents, publishing and writing guidelines to which all members contribute.

Next International Showcase film, 'Noodle'
The October selection for the International Film Showcase is "Noodle" from Israel, to open at the Orinda Theatre Oct. 19.
At 37, Miri is a twice-widowed flight attendant whose well-regulated existence is suddenly turned upside down by an abandoned Chinese boy whose migrant-worker mother has been summarily deported from Israel. The film is a touching comic-drama in which two human beings -- as different from each other as Tel Aviv is from Beijing -- accompany each other on a remarkable journey, one that takes them both back to a meaningful life.
The Orinda run, as well as showings in Antioch and Cupertino, are this film's Bay Area commercial premieres. For show times go to www.lfef.org or www.lamorindatheatres.com
Local couple to show at SF center
Dean and Juliet MacCannel, husband and wife artists and Lafayette residents, are part of "Calling on the Spirits to Face the Future: Día de los Muertos 2012," the Day of the Dead exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center, where the centuries-old tradition of building altars to welcome and celebrate deceased loved ones fuses with present-day artists' sentiments on the state of life and politics.
Elaborate, traditional altars and multidimensional art installations will be on display Oct. 13-Nov. 10.
The MacCannels are creating an installation that includes a large frame in the form of a giant page from a comic book, telenovela or photo-roman. The cells of the frame contain a series of images of the Romney family, with thought and dialogue bubbles, as they dream, muse about and discuss the future and the future they envision for themselves and for us. The scenarios illustrate how different the future looks to the Romney's versus the rest of us.
The exhibit will be at the SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan St., San Francisco. Free admission during gallery hours Tuesday-Friday noon to 7 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The saga of whether and what to rename Palo Alto's Main Library reached its conclusion Monday night, with the City Council opting for a moniker that reflects the facility's geographic and historical setting.
The council voted 7-2 to rebrand the facility at 1213 Newell Road as the Rinconada Library. The name is shared by a park, pool and fire station in close proximity. It also has historical significance, as the city was founded on the Rancho Rinconada del Arroyo de San Francisquito land grant.
Voting against Rinconada were council members Larry Klein and Gail Price, who wanted to rename the library after homegrown architect Birge Clark.
"I like the idea of geography, because that really does give you a sense of place and I think a sense of place is what we're always looking for in Palo Alto," said Vice Mayor Liz Kniss.
The city's Library Advisory Commission first raised the issue of renaming the facility in 2012. The Main Library was about to undergo a $22.6 million makeover and work was progressing on a rebuild of the Mitchell Park Library, which will be larger and house administrative functions when finished. The former project is set to wrap up by the end of the year.
"It isn't going to be functionally the main (library). It isn't going to be physically the main library anymore," Commissioner Bob Moss told the council.
The commission settled on Rinconada for geographic and historical reasons, but the council rejected the recommendation in September and directed its Policy and Services Committee to find an "appropriate" person after which to rename the library. The committee, however, deadlocked over whether such an individual existed and kicked the issue back to the council.
On Monday, Price and Klein urged the council to support their proposal to rename the library after Clark, who designed hundreds of buildings throughout Palo Alto and Stanford University. He died in 1989.
"His work leant continuity and identity to Palo Alto's transformation from a rural town into the birthplace of high-tech Silicon Valley," Price said.
Several council members said they were troubled by the idea of putting Clark's name on a building he had no hand in designing. Edward Durrell Stone was the architect of the Main Library.
"I think it would be very hard to name an Edward Durrell Stone building after Birge Clark," said Councilman Greg Scharff. "I don't think you can get two more disparate styles."
Klein argued that the city has named several facilities after people who had nothing to do with them.
"I think if we were to honor him, it's not because of any particular style," Klein said about Clark, who worked largely in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. "It's because of his great contribution to the community in general."
Martin Bernstein, a member of the city's Historic Resources Board, suggested putting Clark's name on the downtown post office, a building the Palo Alto High School graduate actually designed. The city does not own the post office but is in negotiations to buy it.
"I cannot imagine Birge Clark would want a building designed by another famous architect to have his name on it," Bernstein said.
In September, the council indicated it would stick with Main if the Policy and Services Committee failed to find a person to rename the library after. But the council was swayed by an outpouring of support Monday for the Library Advisory Commission's recommendation.
"At least half, if not more, have indicated Rinconada," Kniss said about the 16 people who addressed the council.
Mary Jo Levy, a retired librarian, said it has long been a desire of hers to rebrand the Main Library because of the confusion the name causes even among long-time Palo Alto residents.
"It's simpler," Levy said about Rinconada. "It sinks in. It helps people to associate the facility with its location."

The details of the head-on vehicle collision that occurred near the intersection of Lund Street and South China Lake Boulevard have been released. California Highway Patrol from Mojave Officer Ed Smith said that Juan Pech, 44, from Inyokern, was driving his 1993 Ford Escort southbound on China Lake Blvd., as Scott Roberts, 46, from San Diego, was driving a 2008 Toyota Four-Runner northbound with three passengers. Smith said Pech "failed to drive on the right side of the roadway" and drifted into the northbound lanes.
The two cars collided at approximately 2:15 p.m. Pech complained of chest pains and was transported by Liberty Ambulance to Ridgecrest Regional Hospital. A passenger in the Four-Runner, Teresa Roberts, 42 years old, received minor injuries to her right foot and was transported to RRH. The two other passengers, a 2-, and 5-year-old were not injured.
The reason Pech drifted into oncoming traffic was not released by the CHP but no arrests or charges were filed against either party.

TULSA, Okla. – Zane Knowles and Rashawn Thomas each posted double-doubles as the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team knocked off Oral Roberts, 71-64, on Saturday at the Mabee Center. The Islanders improved to 2-0 in conference play with the victory.
Knowles had 14 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks, while Thomas posted 15 points, 12 boards and two blocks in the win. Brandon Pye added a season-high 13 points. Joy Williamson posted nine points, while John Jordan had seven points and five assists.
Shawn Glover led all scorers with 21 points for the Golden Eagles, while Korey Billbury added 18. The Islanders won the inside game, outrebounding ORU 38-33 and outscoring the Golden Eagles in the paint, 32-20.
Early on, the two teams battled back and forth, with neither team able to gain much of an edge. Billbury and Glover scored the first nine ORU points, but Bobby Word came through with a layup at the 11:41 mark to make it 16-13 in favor of the home squad. The Islanders responded, though, as a Williamson triple sparked a 9-0 run. Hameed Ali had two key buckets in the rally as well, as the visitors pulled ahead 22-16. The Islanders would not relinquish the lead for the remainder of the game.
The Islanders were able to stay the course after the run, retaining a lead between three and seven for the rest of the opening half. Dale Francis finished off the scoring by drilling a three from the right wing that made it 37-31 heading into the locker room.
The opening stanza saw the visitors dominate inside, winning the battle of the boards, 19-10, and points in the paint, 18-8. Knowles posted eight points and five boards, while Thomas had six points and seven rebounds.
Out of the break, the teams traded baskets, but the Islanders followed that with an 8-1 run anchored by Pye, who hit a pair of threes and added a fast-break layup to score all eight points of the rally. But ORU cut into the lead, making it 49-38 with 15 minutes remaining.
At that point, the Golden Eagles embarked on a 12-3 run to cut the lead to just three, 53-50, as Glover's three capped off the rally. But Knowles came through huge, finishing off a three-point play to stem the tide. However, Billbury responded with a three-point play of his own, making it 56-53 at the 9:51 mark.
The Islanders defense stiffened at that juncture, shutting out the Golden Eagles over the next 3:37, while the offense converted five shots at the free-throw line to push the lead to 61-53. ORU kept coming, but for every Golden Eagle attack, there was an Islanders response, as Shawn Glover's layup at 3:14 made it 67-61.
The Islanders got three consecutive stops on the defensive end, and Thomas' layup with 54 seconds left pushed the lead to nine. From there, the Islanders were able to limit the Golden Eagles to three free throws the rest of the way to pick up the victory. A&M-Corpus Christi held ORU to 0-for-7 from the field over the game's final 3:14.
The Islanders return to the Coastal Bend for their next action, as they will play host to Northwestern State on Thursday, Jan. 9, on Stripes Court at the American Bank Center. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m. and the contest is sponsored by KRIS 6 News.

Process development and manufacturing for biopharmaceuticals are often disjointed activities. Disconnects among groups are aggravated by a lack of common terminology and poor data management practices. A UK biotech consortium has initiated a collaborative development effort to address data management issues. The proposed outcome is a data model, based on the ISA-88 Standard for Batch Control, to capture process and facility data throughout the product lifecycle. A data framework that follows the ISA-88 model can simplify process scale up and enable early views of project costs and facility fit.
A survey of pharmaceutical companies conducted by Ken Morris, PhD, of Purdue University, and Sam Venugopal and Michael Eckstut of Conformia Software, Inc., revealed that few companies can track data and decision-making processes during the development lifecycle, and that most are dissatisfied with the ability of their existing IT systems to capture and manage drug development information.2 Survey results indicate that drug development specialists spend five hours a week, on average, looking for data, and about two-thirds of respondents reported they couldn't find 10–20% of the data they needed. It is virtually impossible to achieve continuous improvement in such an environment, and the cost of lost time and rework during development can be significant. The average cost to develop a new pharmaceutical is more than $800 million,3 and development costs continue to rise.
To manufacturers from other industries, the solution seems obvious: implement a new, comprehensive IT solution, or make better use of existing systems. Even though there are many sophisticated IT solutions available, ranging from enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to electronic lab notebooks (ELNs), adoption has been slow and problematic in the biopharmaceutical industry. There are several reasons for this. First, the widespread presence of paper lab notebooks and uncertainties about electronic records and signatures have caused many organizations to be reluctant to abandon paper-based systems. Companies that do make the switch often go through an awkward transition period where both paper and electronic systems are in use. This doubles the workload of end users and can increase resistance to change. Second, software vendors tend to adopt a "one size fits all" approach, often a flawed practice because it ignores the fact that different users can have different ways of working, and there is a wide range of business models in the biopharmaceutical industry. Small companies may focus on discovery and outsource their manufacturing requirements, large companies may buy in new processes, and so on. Third, in some cases the issues go beyond data management and reflect more fundamental disconnects in communication. Adding a level of automation to ineffective business processes often makes the problems worse.
To address some of these issues, a research consortium was formed in 2006 to collaboratively develop a knowledge-management model and supporting applications. End users are from research, process development, technology transfer, and manufacturing. The consortium received a grant from the UK Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for a three-year project. The consortium is led by BioPharm Services Ltd., a technical consultancy with experience in bioprocess simulation and design, in collaboration with Avecia and Cambridge Antibody Technology (CAT). BioPharm Services has created process simulation models for Avecia and CAT in the past, and each company offers a unique perspective on the biopharmaceutical industry. In addition, the collaborative agreement enables the model to be tested with sample process data and scenarios early in development. The following sections outline the approach taken and the progress to date.

OAKLAND -- Once upon a time, Oracle Arena was one of the toughest places in the NBA to get a victory. The Warriors' playoff chances rest on that becoming the case again this season, and they took a step in that direction Wednesday night, beating the Brooklyn Nets 102-93.
And second-year guard Klay Thompson was a big factor, scoring 23 points on 10 of 19 shooting to break out of his recent slump.
"I felt like I got my game back," Thompson said. "It felt great. I get to build on it Friday and keep this win streak going."
The Warriors (7-5) are now 3-2 at Oracle Arena. The Nets (6-4) were the Warriors' first home win over a contender.
The Nets, which played without starting small forward Gerald Wallace (rest) and was concluding a back-to-back set, is expected to be a contender in the East.
"Good teams, bad teams, it doesn't matter," Warriors forward Carl Landry said. "Protecting the home court is something we've got to establish as our identity. Good teams win at home."
For most of the game, Oracle Arena didn't seem too difficult to the Nets. They made 13 of their first 18 shots was at 51.3 percent at the half. The Warriors trailed by as much as 13 and didn't get their first lead until late in the third quarter.
"We were a step slow, and they were outworking us," coach Mark Jackson said. "We were not on point. They were the hardest-working team in the first half -- and it wasn't even close."
But then the Warriors came alive, which led to a frenetic environment that Brooklyn seemed to collapse under. The Nets shot just 37.5 percent and were out-rebounded 38-24 over the last three quarters.
Then, late in the third quarter, Thompson came alive, and the Warriors' offense with it.
Thompson had been mired in a serious shooting slump. Over the previous four games he shot 23.4 percent from the field (11 of 47) and had made just three of his past 20 from 3-point range.
But, Wednesday, he scored 12 points during the Warrior's third-quarter surge. It started with a simple baseline jumper, cutting the Nets' lead to 61-60 with 4:06 left in the third.
After a layup by Nets guard Deron Williams, Curry zipped a cross-court pass to Thompson for a 3-pointer in transition. He nailed it, tying the game at 63.
Landry then gave the Warriors their first lead of the night with a finger roll not even a minute later. Thompson pushed Golden State's advantage to 68-63 with another 3-pointer. Before the back-to-back 3-pointers, Thompson had missed 18 of his previous 21 attempts from deep.
"If all we worry about is Klay hitting shots, and that's our biggest worry, then we're going to be just fine this season," forward David Lee said after totaling 20 points, 13 rebounds and six assists.
After a Nets turnover, Thompson nearly brought the house down with an open 3-point attempt, but it rattled out. But moments later, he faked a 3-pointer and drove in, converting a layup in traffic with 23.8 seconds left.
Warriors point guard Stephen Curry then capped a 16-5 run to close the third quarter with a 3-pointer from the top of the key -- and the foul. Curry flashed four fingers during the celebration. The free throw sent the Warriors into the fourth quarter ahead 74-66.
"They're just great shooters," said Williams, held to nine points on 4 of 12 shooting with eight assists. "You can't make any mistakes on those guys. They got some tonight in transition, and any little daylight they get they're going to make those shots."
The Warriors went up by as much as 14. Brooklyn, even with Stanford product Brook Lopez having his way inside (22 points on 10 of 16 shooting), never proved much of a threat the rest of the way.
Oddly, before Wednesday, the Warriors had looked better on the road (4-3). The two home losses have come against quality teams: Memphis in the home opener and a double-overtime defeat to visiting Denver. But on the road they'd pulled out wins over the Los Angeles Clippers and Monday's double-overtime victory over Dallas.
After a visit to Denver on Friday, Golden State will have four straight home games. All four of the home games are against teams currently hovering around .500.
"We've started well on the road. Now we have to take care of home," said Curry, who had 25 points on 13 shots. "It's a great opportunity to really get some ground and stay ahead of the game. We have to take advantage of it."

Tourists now 2-0 in second half of SAL season
Published: Friday, June 20, 2014 at 10:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 20, 2014 at 10:25 p.m.
The Asheville Tourists have started off the second half of the South Atlantic League season with two straight victories on the road against the Augusta Greenjackets.
They had their first shutout of the entire season Thursday in a 1-0 win, and they followed that with by edging Augusta 4-3 on Friday night.
Asheville, now 43-28 overall, remains in first place in the Southern Division at 2-0, while Augusta falls to 34-36 overall and 0-2 in the second half.
Fresh off playing in the SAL All-Star Game on Tuesday in Hickory, Tourist third baseman Ryan McMahon was the only Asheville hitter with more than one hit. He ended the night 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run. Ramiel Tapia was 1-for-3 with an RBI, and Correlle Prime was 1-for-4 with an RBI.
Asheville broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the sixth when McMahon knocked in Tapia with a double to left. McMahon then later scored on a throwing error to make it 4-2. The Greenjackets added another run in the bottom of the sixth, but the Asheville bullpen kept them scoreless the final three innings.
Andrew Brown (3-0) got the win, and Trent Daniel picked up his sixth save.
The Tourists will play Augusta again at 7 p.m. today in the third game of the four-game series, which wraps up with a 2 p.m. game on Sunday. They return to McCormick Field on Monday to begin a seven-game homestand, starting with a four-game series against Greenville, followed by three-game set against Greensboro.

U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011 Participants Bring Innovation to D.C.'s Ward 7
In honor of the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon 2011—which challenges 20 collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar-powered houses that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive—we are profiling each of the 20 teams participating in the competition.
To kick things off, we spoke with Amanda Waal, architecture student and primary student contact for the Empowerhouse Collaborative—a joint venture between Parsons The New School for Design, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy, and Stevens Institute of Technology. The three-school team is jointly based out of the schools' Manhattan and Hoboken campuses and has partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. and the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Development to build a passive house that will require 80% less energy for space heating and cooling compared to an ordinary home. See the Energy Blog posting.

STOCKTON – Two women were arrested by Stockton police officers for battery and resisting arrest after an incident about 3:35 p.m. Sunday at the Weberstown Mall.
According to police, security officers were attempting to escort four females out of the mall but they refused and began to fight with the officers. Police said that as security was attempting to control one of the female suspects, the others began to hit and bite the security officer in an attempt to free their friend.
Stockton police officers arrived and took all four suspects into custody. One of the suspects resisted and was placed in the backseat of a patrol car, where she began to kick the windows, which led to her being placed in the Safe-Wrap.
Police identified the 20-year-old women who were arrested as Elexis Freeman and Kristona Polk. Two female juveniles also were detained, police said.

Statement by Energy Secretary Steven Chu on the Deployment of FedEx Freight's Fuel Cell Lift Truck Fleet in Springfield, Missouri
October 29, 2010
In conjunction with the deployment of FedEx Freight's fuel cell lift truck fleet in Springfield, Missouri on Friday, October 29, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu issued the statement: "Today's announcement in Springfield is another example of how the Recovery Act is working to create jobs across the country. This investment is part of a broad effort to improve America's competitiveness, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and support the country's leadership in the clean energy economy of the future."
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded FedEx Freight $1.3 million under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to deploy fuel cell lift trucks at their Springfield, Missouri facility. FedEx Freight has installed 35 hydrogen fuel cell systems as battery replacements for a complete fleet of electric lift trucks at their existing service center. The facility includes permanent hydrogen fueling infrastructure, including liquid hydrogen handling and gaseous compression, storage, and dispensing equipment for two indoor dispenser stations. Success at this service center may lead to further fleet conversion at some of FedEx's additional 470 service centers. Partners on the project included Air Products & Chemicals, Inc., headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Plug Power, Inc., located in Latham, New York.

That is not the case with layers, when you hide one, it remains hidden after "save / open".

Iran to Build First Natural Gas Refinery
From Global Times
Iran will construct its first natural gas refinery which is costed at 1.6 billion US dollars, Tehran Times daily reported Wednesday.
The designing processes of the project will start after the Iranian Khatam al-Anbia Construction firm inks a deal with the National Iranian Central Oilfields Company by the next month, said the report without elaborating on the location of the refinery.
The refinery will be fed with the natural gas produced in Iran's southern Halgan and Sefid Baghoon fields.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country plans to double natural gas production from the South Pars field in the next six months.
The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is the world's largest gas field, shared between Iran and Qatar.

'Chase mode' on as Stillman Tigers lose game, quarterback
Published: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 11:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 5, 2013 at 11:31 p.m.
The Stillman College football team came up short against Lane College on Saturday night at Stillman Stadium, losing 28-27.
It was a close game throughout, but Lane capitalized by blocking Donald Jackson's extra-point attempt with 1:41 left.
Lane snapped a four-game losing streak against Stillman and sidelined quarterback Josh Straughan in the fourth quarter. Straughan exited the game after taking a blow to his right shoulder.
"They think it's my collar bone, which is not a good sign," Straughan said. "They are going to see how severe it is, but it doesn't feel good."
Stillman coach Teddy Keaton said the team will wait and see what the doctors declare and go from there.
Torrance Moise replaced Straughan in the fourth and almost rallied the Tigers to victory, but previous errors caught up to them. Penalties cost them momentum shifts and prevented them from finishing drives.
"If we didn't get some of things we got, we probably would have won it," Keaton said.
The Tigers offense started the game with an interception and a fumble, which resulted in a Lane touchdown.
"A team that can move the ball like they can will hurt you," Keaton said.
Keaton said he thought his team did a good job on maintaining possession and executing after the opening mistakes. After going scoreless in the first quarter, the Tigers scored two touchdowns in the second and trailed 21-14 at halftime.
Straughan connected with wide receiver Dondre Purnell on several plays to get the Tigers going. Purnell ended the game with 14 receptions for 188 yards.
"My team needed me, so I just had to play," Purnell said.
Stillman receiver Reese Sturgis had five receptions for 145 yards in the first half and finished with eight receptions for 187 yards. The Tigers outgained Lane 582-322 but committed four turnovers.
Octavian Ford and Raymond Coats each caught a scoring pass from Straughan, who completed 31 of 46 passes for 437 yards.
The Tigers fell to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Lane is 3-2, 1-1.
"Now we are in chase mode. We were at the top, but now we just have to come in here and win," Keaton said.
Keaton said his team is still sitting in good position and must regroup for next Saturday's homecoming game against SIAC East for Benedict.
"We have to get ready for Benedict," he said. "Homecoming is one of the crossover games and we must win it."

BERKELEY -- With the spotlight shining brightly on the program, De La Salle High's football team didn't disappoint in its season opener Friday night.
Playing in their first game since the release of "When the Game Stands Tall," a Hollywood movie focused on the program and legendary former head coach Bob Ladouceur, the Spartans dominated Jesuit-Carmichael 63-0 at Cal's Memorial Stadium.
De La Salle was sharp in all facets of the game, but especially special teams and defense.
"They were awesome tonight," De La Salle coach Justin Alumbaugh said. "We had turnovers, they weren't getting many (first downs), and we were working with a short field all night. Our special teams and defense really made this game for us."
Two big special teams plays set the tone early for the Spartans, who were without two injured co-captains -- quarterback Anthony Sweeney and linebacker Simba Short.
Jevari Anderson returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, then the Spartans blocked a punt on Jesuit's first possession.
Chris Vanderklugt, Sweeny's fill-in, scored a play later on a 1-yard run, giving the Spartans a 14-0 lead less than three minutes into the game.
Later in the first quarter, Vanderklugt completed his first varsity pass for a 7-yard touchdown to tight end Sam Phillips and a 21-0 lead.
Interceptions by Cameron Lissarrague and Adam Mayer late in the second quarter led to two more scores and a 35-0 halftime lead.
Nick Lopez added two long touchdown runs in the second half as the Spartans finished with 317 yards on the ground.
Jesuit had just 134 total yards, most of them coming in the second half.
Jesuit coach Marlon Blanton is a De La Salle graduate, runs the same offense as De La Salle and even coached Alumbaugh as a freshman. But his team never recovered from De La Salle's fast start, and the Spartans extended their unbeaten streak against Northern California competition to 251 games.
"It was weird, to be honest," Alumbaugh said of coaching opposite Blanton. "We've known each other for a really long time and he's a great coach. They're better than what tonight showed. A couple things snowballed. ... They'll be fine."
The game, televised by ESPN2, had been scheduled for Levi's Stadium, but issues with the facility's turf forced the event to be moved to Cal. De La Salle will play James Logan at the 49ers' new stadium in Santa Clara on Oct. 11.

As we move another day down the road �to either ruin or paradise I guess, depending on your point of view� it seems to me being a moderate these days is the most radical thing one can do politically: Not singling out the most extreme of opposing view for accusation, ridicule and derision, but trying to find some uncontested ground where, as fellow citizens, we can respect one another's intentions, the sense of purpose and meaning in this life for each and every one of us.
I don't mean to advocate that conservatives should stop being conservatives or liberals liberal. And I don't think the answer to every problem up for debate is splitting the difference. I think we can all advocate avidly on the genuine basis of our beliefs, but we have to allow those who differ with us to be our fellow citizens, not our rivals or enemies. The avid liberal activist does what he does out of love ideally, but so does the the careful conservative skeptic. We should figure out how to honor that as we resort to the contest aspect of our political process, before we do. We have to be real wary of casting aspersion on the motive rather than challenging the substance in each other's beliefs. We have to start devaluing rage and indignation and placing some stock in understanding and consideration. I don't think I'm commenting on the politics of the past few weeks and the current conjured crisis, at least not directly. I'm thinking of the longer larger trend of political branding taking precedence over basic truth, over civility and even grace.
There's a little bit of the political branding that goes on when we start to gather up all the liberal or conservative causes and pose them as stark either or questions. The 'tastes great' versus 'less filling' sort of debate unfolds �where certainty and conviction are what counts �never compromise or equivocation or doubt.
I'm a firm believer in doubt.
Complexity and contradiction. Both/and rather than either/or. I think both liberals and conservatives do themselves a disservice when they tell themselves that any issue or question so very neatly resolves with them right and the other wrong, with themselves firmly in possession of the whole truth. I think I am somewhat of a liberal. I voted for Obama twice. That doesn't mean I think ObamaCare (a.k.a. Fred) is a shining jewel of perfection that shouldn't be amended and reformed and improved. That we shouldn't be mindful of its consequences along side its benefits. I believe in a woman's right to choose, but at the same time I agree also that abortion is symptomatic of a throw away culture that commodifies and degrades sexuality and human identity. I believe in separation of church and state, but I also resent a vilification of faith that certain liberals convince themselves is a virtue. I believe all of these both/and's call on us to craft public policy and a public discourse that is respectful of the complexity.
The key, as Aretha Franklin, The Queen of Soul would put it, is R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Not even a baby meatball can stop the sixth season of Jersey Shore. MTV reports that MTV will renew the series for another summer in Seaside Heights, and Snooki—now more than three months pregnant and engaged to boyfriend Jionni LaValle—will remain on the show.
"While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same," MTV said in a statement today.
Except that Snooki (we hope and pray) will be sober, and that will be weird. Will we even recognize her anymore?

Three years from now, I see something like the Wall Street Journal saying, "These bloggers are pretty good." ... give them the credibility. ZDnet is already doing that. They're bringing in a lot of bloggers, figuring out a game plan. You will see all the big media, or at least the bigger media, actually experimenting and creating their own blog.
Every user comes with their finger poised on the Back button. As long as you're worried about that, you have to do great stuff. Bloggers - contextual reading. You will never capture the big story in 800 words. Don't think of it as traditional reading. It's almost like a
Mark: What do you see yourself doing three years from now? Om: As long as they keep paying me well... It's fairly simple. (more discussion)
Boris Mann: I probably wouldn't know about either of you if you didn't have blogs. I don't ever go to these websites. I don't click through. Everyone who has fulltext RSS feeds, I read directly in my reader. Blogs are conversations. I can't have a discussion with the National Post. Om: Good to finally meet you in person, and thank you for sending all those comments. You are as important to me as any other person. ... It creats patrons, and patrons are good for advertising, but we don't have a good advertising model. All these questions are in front of us. That's a challenge, and that's an opportunity for anyone who can figure this out. Anyone who can think of a good advertising model right now can make a lot of money.
Putting my e-mail address at the bottom of the story isn't having a conversation. Whether you're a newspaper online or .., you need to create a conversation. You need to use the Web and different tools to draw people in. It's a nice little phrase: "Let's have a conversation", but the truth is that's going to drive your business.
Web 2.0. It's not a technology. It's not some cool Javascript. It's a new way of thinking. Robert Scoble - he helped humanize Microsoft, for goodness' sake. Just one guy, and he did such an effective job.
Argh. Where's the mesh conference backchannel? IRC?

What are the principles and tools of Web 2.0?
- Two-way communication. Read/write Web.
- User-generated content
- Wisdom of crowds
- Participation. Everyone has a voice
- Collaborative content, harnessing collective intelligence
- Mashup
- Web as Platform
- Long tail, etc.
- Data is the next Intel Inside
- Users add value
- Network effect by default
- Some rights reserved
- The perpetual beta
- Cooperate, don't control
- Above the level of a single device
What are the tools?
- Blogs
- Social networks
- Open source
- Browser
- Wiki
- Folksonomy,
- Blogging, participation
- Google Maps, AJAX
- Identity, trust, personal brands
- Standards/services: APIs, RSs, etc.
- Group-editable pages, wikis, comments
- Exposing user data, emergence
- Creative Commons, GPL, F/LOSS
If we were to think about how to take some of this and put it into action... I thought I'd do a really quick tour of some of the applications I've seen over the years. How we can leverage the 2.0 to change the world.
WWF example: "Donate now and put your name in our sky." The general idea is that if someone donates, they can put their name in the sky. How is it the long tail? There are hundreds and thousands of people who care about issues like arctic wildlife refuge, but it's difficult to aggregate all of these people into one solid voice. Just to bring these voices together.
This is something that Chris Nolan made for the 2006 elections.
TheyWorkForYou.com. Data is the next Intel Inside. The traditional explanation of this is ISBN and Amazon's extension, the Amazon book number, which has more information about it. This group in the UK has done the same thing for public data, what's being said in the House of Commons. They've really extended it and included voting history, etc. They've even made it free.
Peter Tabuns. Provincial election. People in this person's riding expressing support and plotting that on the map.
Mark: One thing about the last example (theyworkforyou) is that it's open source, so if you want, you can set it up.
They also do hearfromyourmp and pledgebank. All of these tools are open source and can be adapted for Canada's system easily.
sinceslicedbread.com. The best ideas bubble up to the top. One of the ideas that got bubbled up has been taken by Hillary Clinton and she's going to introduce a bill that ties Congressional pay increases to federal minimum wage.
Network effects by default. Tom Mauser is one of those people who lost a child in Columbine. Forward Track. 6 degrees of separation. Tracking six degrees of separation on a map. When Mark signs up to send the petition, the map centers around him. The network effect by default.!
pledgebank. "I'll do it, but only if you'll help me do it." Some of these pledges are tiny, but others are pretty big. Powerful tools. There's RSS. You can get pledges in your town. Inexpensive way for NGOs to provide their communities with a way to organize.
Some rights reserved.
Crown copyright. Most documents are released under that, so the Queen owns the data. This makes it very difficult to get what you think should be public data. For example, geocoding data. So some people built their own. Free service, free data. geocoder.ca.
civicaccess.ca. Just launched last month. To hel make sure public data stays public. Taxpayer-funded data, we should have access to it.
So the perpetual beta is one of the neatest ideas applied to grassroots advocacy. There can be an iterative, experimental, evolutionary process around campaigns. The three things I'm going to show here are not Web campaigns, but I believe they embody the spirit.
publicspace committee. Lightning rod for many communities. In Toronto, we have a really strong group. Fantastic experimental projects trying to win back public space. Billboard battalion. Once a week I get e-mail from the "general". Billboards are illegal in Toronto, and companies have to apply for variances. So what the battalion does is keep track of people who are applying, etc. Guerilla gardening, etc. This is not a large NGO, but just a bunch of people having lots of interesting ideas.
Dave Meslin. How can you bring this idea to city council. whorunsthistown.ca. What can you do if you're interested in making Toronto a better place to live?
City Idol. We all know and love Canadian Idol. There are a lot of people in Toronto, and important decisions are made by the 45 people on the slide before. We had a contest where people signed up to participate in City Idol. Over 200 people signed up for the first event. Second round of finals. For every ward in the city, they have people competing to help out.
Mark: American Idol. 60 million text messages.
Jen: Wikipedia has history for all the municipalities in Toronto. Phillip: And it's really good information too.
bbc.co.uk - Action Network. !! This is cool! Change the world around you. What are the issues that are important to you, and how can you connect with your neighbors?
backfence.com? Mark: Again, local organization.
Moport.org. Software above the level of the single device. As much as Canada is behind in the mobile space, we're certainly seeing more interesting work to be done. Mobile phone reporting. Large mobilizations from their phones. Used around the Republican National Convention.
Murmur. Out of the Canadian Film Center. Using Asterix and a lot of ingenuity, two students (Shaun and Gabe) created this audio tourist experience for Toronto. You can find these little signposts where all these red dots are that have a phone number that you can call to get a spoken history for that location. Local participants. Fantastic. They've expanded this idea around Canada, and now they have an Airstream bus. Mark: One of the things that really worked for Murmur was keeping it very very simple. Accessible. All you need is a cellphone and the ability to make a local call on your cellphone. Appeal to the lowest common denominator. One thing very important about that project.
Phillip: It's stunning how many people are not from Toronto and they get a murmur postcard and they walk around. "I want to hear from the woman who's an expert on this on her blog." ... People are really starting to understand that that kind of integral, honest communication is important. Right now, they pick people. Mark: Interview techniques, narrative-based project. Airstream bus.
Another local specific above the level of the single device is Wireless Toronto. It sounds like another municipal wireless network thing until you get into the idea of location-specific content. If you log on to the network like at St. Lawrence Market, you'll come to a local portal that aggregates a number of feeds to give you the context for that place. You can see who else is online and you can communicate with them or meet their blogs. Flickr images are being pulled from the . The classified ads section is taken from craigslist. Craigslist - continuous live search. If you're an NGO working on employment, aggregating jobs that are specific to youth, for example... RSS to voice through RSS. (!! Hey, that's a cool idea and we can do that at home, because phone is free!) (Kagigi - volunteers wanted!! oooh.)
Apartment rental mashup, etc.
One Free Minute. Mobile sculpture for anonymous public speech. Sao Pauo, Brazil. Warsaw, Poland. London, UK. Canada and USA.
We have a municipal election coming up within the next six months, and we're not seeing a lot happening in terms of civic participation. What does civic participation look like with Web 2.0?
Two-way street. If you don't get the eyeballs there and the interest there in the first place... It's easy to capture the converted. What about the people who couldn't care less? How do you start the engagemet process? If you can find out how they're connected online...
In this case, there's a particular issue: municipal election. How do you connect people to the municipal election?
It's the candidates and the municipal election itself. People wring their hands and ask why people aren't interested, but you have a bunch of stuffed shirts and... So how do you get new people?
What kind of offline event drives people to something, and how do you leverage that with Web 2.0?
For example, smart mobs. Street car tours and the pillow fight in Dundas Square. Database of people. Pillow fight announcement, publicity, etc.
How do you market to or engage this population and how do you bring them into the online world and what do you do? Once you've got them in the online world, then you've got all sorts of tools.
Odd-ball activist. How do we get normal folks in?
When I think of real events around a political campaign... listen to a politician give pre-packaged, overly-analyzed speech... or town meeting kind of thing, where you end up with the same issue, where you get verbose people who end up hijacking the thing... Speed at which you can scan and filter on Web 2.0. Somewhere I can go and find discussions about my local councilor. These issues I don't care about, these issues I do, etc. A customizable search tool which allows you to scan through the issues... The other thing that would be interesting would be at the municipal election, we don't have strong political affiliations. Niche interest (Sam Bulte), but other people can affect a really local thing. If there was a site that made it easy for us to keep track of whatever they were saying about different issues... that would help me. And I want to specify my interests. Customizable search thing. All decisions and all issues that stand, etc. Report card. How they voted, absolute transparency and accessibility. Hard data plus softer stuff. Might get filtered too much, though, too compartmentalized. Digg-style popularity.
- Not a topical wiki, but a scenario wiki, where we can extrapolate from a bill or if this candidate is elected, this is probably what's going to happen, etc. Putting things in a language that people can understand. Approach in engangig people.
- Issues that are important to you, access to all the data around it. Absolute transparency. Asterisk to get into people's homes.
- Comments on a public blog. An online petition that you could translate into... make candidates for public office understand that to stand in favor of this would mean death, etc.

Greetings All...I am new to this site and new to distance running. I have been an athlete all my life but this new found love for distance running is like no other. I am training for my first 13.1 on 11 Aug 12; any advice..3 things I MUST KNOW?
Thanks in advance for the input.
6'2" 235lbs/37yrs old/Asics Gel-Neo33...No known injuries/medical conditions
Congrats on your new challenge! I would say make sure you're training smart and get in at least one 10 miler before the race. Also try to find out what nutrition will be on the course and try it out on your training runs or plan to bring your own (drinks, gels, etc.). Don't try anything new on race day. Try to get to bed early the night of the race in case the pre-race jitters keep you from falling asleep right away. Most of all have a great time and good luck!
Thanx Julie...I have a 10+ this weekend and I'm pumped about the challenge. I am a personal trainer and have worked at a very well known sports supplement store and I have to admit...I have not found a GEL I like...or can even stomach to tell you the truth. I still have 4 weeks to find a GEL to my liking.
Thanks again for the advice...Noted
Congrats on the challenge! I would love to hear how it goes when you finish, as I too am starting the same challenge (except 5 years ago I could barley run a mile!) I am doing the Chicago Half on Sept. 9th.
My training guide has been my best friend.. these hot, humid days in Nebraska are pretty awful for outdoor running though! Have you heard of gels/gummies to take while running? I have been suggested this by friends/patients in my office, etc. tried them once but have a few other options I may test out as I get up to logging more miles.
Good Luck!
Whoops, didnt see those last posts! I am not a fan of the gels, but I have tasted the Cliff Blox (raspberry i think it was) and those werent too bad, just really chewy. I also just bought jelly beans and some healthier non gluten gel bites im going to try soon.
Congratulations on the endeavor!!! I did my first one in June of this year and we are pretty similar in size 6'1" 245. I work with a lot of marathoners and all them said the same as Julie did and to run at least 10-miles once. I had a pretty solid base running 4-5 miles 3X a week and then long on the weekend and did 10-miles onetime before the race. My opinion you want to do that a couple times if you have time. A 5K doesn't seem like much until it starts after finishing 10-miles. Just one guys opinion, but for my next one in October I'm going to do 10-miles twice. Good luck.
Congrats on challenging yourself. I've completed 2 halfs - 1st one I trained smart, tried out a couple of different fuels and settled on Cliff blocks (but only try to chew 1/2 at a time). Second race I decided to fuel better before the race and traded in my 1/2 bowl of cereal for an english muffin with peanut butter. That was a big mistake - don't change up your morning meal on race day.
Hi Amanda:
Let us know how those gel/gummies work? I've seen them lately and wondered about them. The Chicago Half should be a blast. It is a big race and those are usually pretty fun because of the spectators.
BTW, I was reading this post and thought hmm, I know that name. Is your sister Michelle? If so, I went to highschool with her. Tell her Hi for me (Jasmine).
Hi Jasmine! Yes, she's my sister! That's crazy, such a small world! She says hi too!!! I'm trying to talk her into doing a Disney half marathon with me in early 2013.
My favorite chew is shot blocks or the GU Chomps. You can find Shot Blocks by Cliff Bar at Target. Very yummy. I personally have a hard time with the gels. They seem to be very sugar-y and difficult to get down without water chaser. Still looking forward to doing a half and working towards it. Feet are my problem, really bad feet. But I just try to carry on because I love running so much.
I did my first HM less than a year ago. I got as much input / advice as I could; and after the race, there was some of it I agreed with and some not.
First a disclaimer: I'm 6' / 150lbs / 44 years old - and my goal for my first HM was 1:30. YMMV, IOW.
The advice I liked / that seemed to work:
- added a 10-miler per week to my meager 20-mile total weeks
- fuel was a non-issue with only 90 minutes on the course
- water WAS an issue - drinking it mattered
- the first 5-8 miles would / should feel pretty easy (like a tempo pace or less - NOT like a race pace)
The advice I wish I'd had:
- I wish I'd done a 15-miler or two in advance.
-- Partly to know what the distance actually felt like at the end, when I was more gassed than I'd ever been.
-- partly to test the "time on my feet" in a way that those 10-milers never did
- I wish I'd done the 10-milers slower
-- I've since learned that "time on my feet" is a factor. Running for the full time duration would have been more valuable than running it at the projected race-pace, as I did.
- Gassed and bonked are two different things
-- bonked is typically over two hours (fuel spent)
-- gassed can come any time (legs heavy / mentally and emotionally stressed / etc)
-- fuel is useful for bonked but worthless for gassed.
I've since done what I learned above and it has made this distance one of my favorites. I do 2-hour runs occaisonally - without much regard to pace - to keep accustomed to the time on my feet. (I still get micro-spasms in my calves somewhere around 1:10... whether I'm doing 6-minute miles or 9-minute miles... go figure.) And I pay more attention to heat-training and water intake.
Good luck!
< run exclusively racing flats; 60-90 miles in 6-7 days per week; train on trails, roads, tracks >
Results - at 46-years-old:
8/2012 - Mile 4:47
10/2013 - Half Marathon 1:19:22
12/2013 - Marathon 2:52:05
(I kinda feel silly posting this stuff - but I realize when I read posts that it helps me understand who's posting.)
Appreciate the detailed breakdown...I will definately make note of the "Wish I Had". Most say you dont know what you dont know; but these types of forums help out a great deal when it comes to support and the great info and eye-openers.
Thanks for the input.
I'm running a half marathon on aug 11th also. I don't have much advice as this is my first half marathon, but my dad was a runner and on long runs he used to take a peeled cutie. He did give me the advice to practice running With a orange slice tucked in my cheek. I'm gonna try it this weekend. Can't beat natures candy :)
Good luck on your race!
Before I start, CONGRATS and have a really FUN run. Enjoy the people, they are always welcoming and great!!!
Having run two very hot HM's in under two hours I can agree with the article written by Jeff Gaudette for Active called Half Marathon Pacing Strategies. He touches on the subject of using gels. Herre is the link to the article, and the clip regarding gels:
Using energy gels and other sources of carbohydrates is optional if you plan on finishing under two hours. The body can store close to two hours worth of glycogen in the muscles and liver. Therefore, you theoretically do not need energy gels if you plan on finishing under two hours. However, some runners may burn through energy slightly faster or draw confidence from having a gel (probably because energy gels stimulate the brain, allowing you to focus more). Find what works for you during your long runs in training and use the same strategy on race day.
Very interesting, I'm going to have to take alot of these under consideration as well. I ran my first HM last month and I have to say I wasn't as prepared as I should have been. Up to that point my longest distance had been 8 miles. I found out quickly that last 5 miles makes a big difference. I have another coming up in November that I will be prepared for.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Brandon Belt was asked earlier this week if he knew the last time the Giants' opening day lineup was healthy.
"May 9th," he said quickly.
That was the day a broken thumb put Belt on the disabled list for the first time. On Friday, he hit the disabled list for a third time. Belt was put back on the seven-day concussion D.L. after the team's concussion specialist determined Belt was still showing post-concussion symptoms. Belt will see a specialist in San Francisco on Monday. He said he is having balance issues related to his vestibular system.
Belt's problems started July 19, when two teammates threw to first at the same time during a drill and one of the balls hit Belt in the head. He was diagnosed with a concussion and missed 12 games. Belt returned Aug. 2 and had four hits -- including a towering homer -- in his first four games. But he struck out four times Wednesday and said he had vision problems during the game.
"I had dizzy spells, and it was enough for me to say something," Belt said. "When I was out on the field in Milwaukee (Wednesday), it was very noticeable for me. I was having to refocus my eyes, and it was hard to focus on certain things. My vision was blurry. It was tough."
Belt thought he might just be fatigued, but the symptoms didn't go away.
"We'll get it checked out," he said. "We've got to get to where I don't have any symptoms. If we can do that, I'll take it from there."
Belt has already missed 64 games with the broken thumb and the concussion. The Giants aren't sure how long he'll be out this time around. The first priority is making sure he is symptom-free.
"It's important to take care of Brandon -- the symptoms are there again," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's come back, and it does concern us. You have to have some concerns there, because we just don't know. We'll see how he comes out of it this time, whether it's faster or slower. But, obviously it can linger."
Infielder Matt Duffy was added to the active roster to take Belt's spot. Duffy was optioned to Double-A Richmond on Thursday to clear a spot for Angel Pagan, but because the Giants were concerned about Belt, Duffy traveled to Kansas City with the team.


text: Johan Wibergh: network evolution essential to seamless broadband experience 2011-10-06 Categories: Industry With the first steps towards the Networked Society already behind us, Johan Wibergh, the Head of Ericsson's Business Unit Networks, has a simple message for operators hoping to capitalize on the dramatic changes in how, when and where we access information: evolve your network if you want to remain profitable. The huge growth in intelligent mobile devices such as smartphones and pads, and the emergence of the cloud, are two factors behind major changes in the internet. The result is increasing user demands for high quality, seamless broadband experiences, across fixed and mobile, and the emergence of a new user – the cloud user. Wibergh says the answer lies in applying IP technology to both fixed and mobile broadband in the fourth generation of IP networking. "Operators need to evolve their networks to stay profitable," Wibergh says. "It is really about quickly changing the architecture to cope with the rapid growth of mobile broadband as well as converging it with the fixed side. "Operators need to manage the rapid growth in video traffic. To do that you need to deploy the latest technologies … but (it is) also about introducing what we call a smartpipe – differentiating the traffic that goes through the network." Wibergh outlines the technologies and solutions available to operators, from "IPfying" networks; optimizing performance between smart devices, the cloud and connectivity; deploying more spectrum-effective technologies such as HSPA+ and LTE; bringing together EDGE routers on the fixed and mobile side to a combined Metro-EDGE layer to really have an effective transmission path.

I was a little disappointed at the size and quality. It's smaller than expected and a bit flimsy. Not worth the price. I bought it as a gift, so I hope the recipient likes it regardless. Now I know that if I were to buy my own bathtub tray, I think I'd buy a different one from somewhere else. It also came in a box 10 times its size with a lot of packaging inside... seems a little wasteful for such a small product.
