SAN FRANCISCO -- Injured closer Brian Wilson, his beard dripping with rain and champagne, called what he had just witnessed a "storybook moment." The moment came with one of the stranger atmospheres this sport has ever seen.
On a night when Hunter Pence hit a pitch three times and Brandon Crawford seemed to abruptly add two inches to his glove, players marveled the most at a deluge of rain that turned AT&T Park into a Hollywood set in the ninth inning.
"That didn't make any sense," said pitcher Matt Cain, who has lived in the city for much of his Giants tenure. "We haven't had rain like that for a long time. It just seemed kind of odd."
The moment itself is one rarely seen on a baseball field. After threats of rain throughout the day -- and a brief flurry during batting practice -- the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals mostly played Game 7 of the National League Championship Series under clear skies. As the clinching moment approached, however, the skies opened up.
With the Giants leading 9-0, there was no way the umpires were delaying this one. When manager Bruce Bochy called for Sergio Romo to get the final out, members of the grounds crew ran onto the field, but not with a tarp. They quickly tried to rebuild the mound and the area around home plate. They spread dirt across the infield where massive puddles were forming.
Romo, who grew up in Brawley and now lives in Mesa, Ariz., watched in amusement.
"I couldn't really believe it," he said. "I'm from the desert. I don't get too much rain, but it definitely seemed very fitting."
Romo wasn't the only one who had a hard time believing the endless downpour he was seeing. The Giants' roster is filled with longtime Bay Area residents, and they couldn't remember steady streams like the ones that covered the final inning and championship celebration.
"It was kind of weird. It never rains here in the Bay Area," said Marco Scutaro, the series MVP. "I spent four years in Oakland and I don't think it rained once."
Cain said he could only remember a downpour like that one other time, and it occurred during a spring training game in Arizona. Brandon Crawford, a Bay Area native, said the moment summed up the Giants' improbable run to the World Series.
"It never rains like that here," Crawford said. "We were out there standing in puddles of water."
That presented a practical problem, too. When Romo came in to face Matt Holliday, Crawford said he was hoping for a strikeout. The fielders had little footing if they needed to move more than a few feet.
As the grounds crew went to work to make to make a little easier for the Giants on the field, the crowd got louder and louder with each increase in the downpour.
"That was really unique," Pence said. "I've never seen anyone cheer for rain like that."
At first base, a soaked Brandon Belt tried to soak it all in, even as he wondered how much longer the umpires could allow this to go on. Belt has seen his share of storms in Texas, but . . .
"We don't play baseball in it," he said. "We get off the field as soon as possible."
Romo didn't get a strikeout, but did get a popup. The Giants mobbed each other behind second base and stood in the rain for another 20 minutes during a trophy presentation.
They were soaked and they didn't care one bit. Afterward, however, one Giant admitted that he had one regret from one of the wettest moments in baseball history.
"It was pretty cool," Pence said. "But I think it could have been really fun it someone had to make a diving catch. That would have been some slide."

Just want to see some funny, emotional, surprising, anything reaction you guys got from this scene. I've seen some stuff online of people at work reading it in the breakroom, and throw their book and say "F*k that" and walk out leaving the book behind. lol Personally mine wasn't that eventful. I did have to put the book down. Sit there and think for a minute. "Did that really just happen?" Spoiler "Did I just read that right?

SACRAMENTO -- The instructor at the California Highway Patrol training academy shooting range looked at the way I was holding a Smith & Wesson semi-automatic pistol, shook his head and then tilted the gun 90 degrees so its sights were facing up.
"We're not gangsters here," he said, giving me a look that might be able to melt rocks.
It wasn't the last time I was corrected or yelled at for getting things wrong Wednesday while getting a sampling of the CHP's grueling 27-week academy that has a 45 percent attrition rate for recruits. I was one of a group of reporters who signed up to get screamed at by Smokey-Bear-hat wearing drill instructors, spin out on a police car driving course and learn how to fight off an attacker trying to kill us.
The mini-boot camp comes as the CHP will throw open a three-day application period starting Sept. 12 for would-be officers. The last application period in January drew about 22,100 people, but only about 2 percent of those will end up among the approximately 7,800 uniformed officers busting drunken drivers or reconstructing fatal car wrecks. The couple dozen reporters, photographers and I found out why just as the sun was coming up Wednesday.
After we were instructed to get into formation, the "staff officers" -- basically drill instructors -- ripped into us like a blender liquefying a handful of strawberries. They told me once to put away my note pad, but I kept writing. They didn't like that.
"Oh we got a free thinker here," one screamed in my face while another observed the stubble on my cheeks. "Thanks for showing up with a fresh shave."
The yelling would take us through a quick march, a brutal round of exercises including something horrible called a "judo pushup" and finally an obstacle course of running, climbing and falling.
"If you're successful you get to go home tonight," said one of the officials who greeted us in the gym, though as I heaved and weaved I missed his name. "That should be some motivation for you."
The people who make it that far have already been through a testing of their writing skills -- CHP officers says a five-minute chase equals hours of reports -- mental, physical and background testing. CHP officers will likely end up at the door of an applicant's neighbor to ask questions about him or her. The reward is a job with a starting salary of about $67,000 a year.
The real fun starts at the academy. In between getting yelled at for doing everything wrong, cadets go through about 1,280 hours of instruction. Big focuses are learning about drugged and drunken driving as well as accident investigation. For the DUI classroom, Officer Robert Smith told us about the Nystagmus or follow-my-finger test. When a driver's pupils follow the officer's moving finger something strange will happen if the driver is intoxicated.
"The pupils will start to bounce," said Smith, a statewide coordinator for impaired driving teaching.
Then it was time to make fools of the reporters again. So we strapped on goggles that allegedly simulate being drunk enough to get arrested. The legal limit is .08 for people who are old enough to drink. We stumbled around and fell over while trying to walk a straight line.
From there, things got more serious. We learned how to fight for our lives during advanced officer safety training. It doesn't happen often but officers can end up being attacked by someone who doesn't want to go to jail and will kill to avoid it. An ultimate fighting-looking brute of an instructor, Officer Ben Fillman, showed us how to stop an attack by using a open-hand jab to the head which is delivered with enough force to shake the assailant's brain. The resulting shock is intended to provide the officer with an opening to get control of the situation.
"The punches are just the symptom. This is the problem," said Fillman pointing at the head of his fighting partner Officer Matt Wells.
Bullets and car crashes have likely taken more CHP officers' lives. In fact, there is a memorial at the academy to fallen officers with 223 names on it. The most recent was Officer Kenyon Youngstrom who died Sept. 5, 2012, after a driver opened fire on the 37-year-old father of four children on Interstate 680 near Danville. Cadets polish the brass names, which serve as a reminder of what can happen to them any day on the job.
Cadet Brent Doiguchi, 26, of Mountain View, knows of the risks, but as his Oct. 30 graduation day approaches he's focused on other things. In an interview Wednesday, he said he's willing to confront the dark sides of the job because he wants to help people. He believes becoming an officer is a direct way to do that.
And he must be pretty serious about it, too, this is his second run through the academy. The first ended when he didn't make it through the rigorous driving tests, which include driving on a water-covered track and simulations of a high-speed chase. But he spent at least $2,000 on private driving training, came back and passed the tests this time.
"You're sitting around doing nothing and you think about it," said the married father of a 10-month-old boy. "And I decided. I want to go back."

OAKLAND -- The A's have shown an innate ability to make life miserable for Rangers starter Yu Darvish, and Oakland was back at it again Tuesday, beating the Texas ace for the eighth consecutive time, this time by a 10-6 count.
Oakland is 8-1 against Darvish while the rest of baseball is 13-35 against him. Coming into this, Darvish was well-rested and coming off a shutout of the Miami Marlins, but there was nothing of the shutout pitcher in what Coliseum fans saw Tuesday.
The A's worked him for eight hits, five walks and seven runs, four earned, in running their winning streak against him to eight.
Derek Norris, who came off the bench to drive in Oakland's last five runs with a pinch-hit three-run homer and a two-run double, didn't face Darvish. But he watched the Texas ace throw from the sideline, and he summed up the A's mastery as well as anyone.
"Maybe we're his kryptonite team,'' Norris said. "I've said it before that King Felix (Hernandez of the Mariners) has it tough against the Rangers but not against the other 29 teams. Maybe it's like that for Darvish with us.''
It's certainly something like that, because the A's beat him and beat him and beat him. And everybody else struggles. Perhaps what the A's do could serve as a primer for the other 29 teams, but the A's don't think so.
"He's such a good pitcher,'' A's starter Tommy Milone, the owner of a five-game winning streak, said. "Any time he goes out there he can dominate.''
Darvish said it wasn't the A's this time as much as it was himself.
"It wasn't just my (lack of) fastball command,'' he said. "I didn't have command of any of the pitches I had. It wasn't their approach against me. I didn't have my stuff.''
That would play better if it didn't happen so consistently.
The scenario was a photocopy of past performances, the A's hitters working the count hard, then coming up with big hits with men on base. Stephen Vogt had three hits, including a pair of run-scoring singles.
The Texas offense did make a push to get back in the game after Milone turned the game over to the bullpen with a 5-3 lead.
Norris made that comeback effort futile, with his fourth career pinch-hit homer in the sixth with two men on, then a two-run double into the gap in left-center in the eighth to provide insurance as the A's improved to 43-28.
Darvish struggled to make it to the sixth inning. The patient A's hitters worked him for a season-high five walks in his 5-plus innings. He's started three time against Oakland this year, lasting six innings, 31/3 innings and 5-plus. Those are the three shortest stints of his season.
He has a career 3.13 ERA, but it's 4.94 when he pitches against Oakland.
The A's got a good start from Milone, but some shaky defense and a resurgent Texas offense got the Rangers back into the game after Milone exited.
It was a good day for the A's catching corps. Vogt, playing right field, had three hits and drove in two runs. John Jaso singled, doubled and scored a run. And Norris came off the bench in the sixth inning and finished with five RBIs. That's his second-best total this season after his two three-run homers on Mother's Day.
Milone, who hasn't lost since April, is 5-0 with a 2.31 ERA in his last eight starts.

About the Book
New York Times bestselling author Marjorie M. Liu "loved, loved, loved" Spiral Hunt, the smashing debut novel by exciting new urban fantasist Margaret Ronald. Now bike messenger and supernatural tracker Evie Scelan is back in Wild Hunt—and off on another action-packed paranormal adventure through the flames of mythology and Boston's magical undercurrent. In Wild Hunt Evie "The Hound" goes head-to-head and claw-to-claw with a devastating werewolf nightmare, the terrible Gabriel Hounds of darkest legend. Jim Butcher fans take note: if you haven't yet met Evie—or Margaret Ronald—this is your opportunity to experience the most exciting contemporary fantasy series since Kim Harrison, Charlaine Harris, and Vicki Pettersson burst onto the scene. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Genevieve Scelan thought she was done with magic.
She was wrong.
Sure, six weeks earlier Evie—bike messenger, supernatural tracker, and avid Red Sox fan—had been instrumental in bringing down the Fiana, the organization of magicians that had ruled Boston's undercurrent for hundreds of years. But now they were gone, Boston could breathe easy again, the Sox had a chance at the pennant, and Evie was ready to relax.
Except it turns out that when you take down the guy on top, everyone assumes you're going to fill his spot, and now Evie finds herself at the center of a whole lot of unwelcome magical attention. On top of that, a new client needs her to call up a family ghost and ask about a stolen inheritance; Evie's friend Nate has a supernatural problem of his own; and a legendary pack of hounds has been terrorizing Boston's undercurrent. And try as Evie might to deny the legacy that runs through her blood, when the Hunt is called, the Hound must run . . .

Dubai buys Lamborghini squad car
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 2:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 2:03 p.m.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — In a city of boundless bling, Dubai police also are in hot pursuit after adding a nearly $550,000 Lamborghini to its fleet.
The sports car, painted in green-and-white colors of the Dubai force, will not likely be roaring after law breakers. Instead, it will be mostly dispatched to tourist areas to show — in the words of deputy police director, Gen. Khamis Matter al-Muzaina — "how classy Dubai is."
Local media reports Thursday say the Italian-made Lamborghini Aventador is the crown jewel of a wider upgrade in Dubai police wheels. The force also is adding some American muscle car Camaros.
Dubai seeks to show it has rebounded from its debt crisis with brash plans that include the world's largest Ferris wheel and a satellite city named after the city-state's ruler.

The lady Vikings and Warriors meant business as they took the court for a physical cross-town rivalry.
The Vikings took control of the game early on, and cruised to a 49-24 win over Whittell on Saturday at South Tahoe High School.
"It was a very physical game on both sides," Whittell coach Tom Esposito said. "There were probably 45 fouls I would imagine, and I don't know how many more fouls the refs could have called without this going into Sunday."
South Tahoe's Bailey David and Brooke King put up an early 10-1 lead, with eight unanswered points as Whittell struggled to find its shot.
The Warriors never quite found it, with the exception of Amanda Harris.
Harris scored 22 of Whittell's 24 points, but one shooter wasn't enough.
Whittell had 15 turnovers by halftime, and the Vikings continued to steadily outscore the Warriors through all four quarters.
"I was happy with our defensive pressure," South Tahoe coach Mike Neiger said. "It wasn't our best game, but it is another win on our home court."
It wasn't either team's strongest game, but South Tahoe seemed to regain composure in the second half and managed to spread the points around.
Brooke King collected nine and Bailey David, Hannah Neiger and Ally King all posted eight each. Riley Chapman and Hannah Neiger dominated the boards. Chapman had eight and Hannah Neiger had seven.
South Tahoe improved to 9-10 overall and 5-2 in Mount Rose League play. Whittell is now 8-12 overall and 1-5 in Mount Rose League play.
"The best thing about it is we get another chance, and the girls are looking forward to it," Esposito said. "We just need to go back to the drawing board and work on our turnovers and our giveaways, and driving the ball to the basket."
The two teams will meet again at Whittell High School on Feb. 9.

Wakefield selectmen defend sobriety checkpoints funded by federal debt
Resident Steve Brown said he thought the sobriety checkpoints violate the Fourth Amendment (prohibiting unreasonable searches and seizures) and also questioned the value of a checkpoint since people are told in advance about it. In his opinion using roving patrols was a better use of the money. "Besides, it's federal money, and the fed doesn't have any."

Congressionally authorized American Eagle Bullion coins provide investors with a convenient and cost effective way to add a small amount of physical platinum, gold, or silver to their investment portfolios. The American Eagle Bullion program was launched in 1986 with the sale of gold and silver bullion coins. Platinum was added to the American Eagle Bullion family in 1997.
A bullion coin is a coin that is valued by its weight in a specific precious metal. Unlike commemorative or numismatic coins valued by limited mintage, rarity, condition and age, bullion coins are purchased by investors seeking a simple and tangible means to own and invest in the gold, silver, and platinum markets. American Eagle Gold Bullion Coins are available in four denominations: one ounce, one-half ounce, one-quarter ounce, and one-tenth ounce while the American Eagle Silver and Platinum Bullions Coins are only available in the one ounce size.
Aside from the proof version, the United States Mint does not sell American Eagle Bullion coins directly to the public. Instead, the Mint distributes uncirculated Bullion coins through a network of wholesalers, brokerage companies, precious metal firms, coin dealers, and participating banks, a network known as Authorized Purchasers.
This method provides effective and efficient distribution, which maximizes the availability of the coins in retail markets as well as major investment markets. For more information about American Eagle Bullion Coins, call 1-800-USA-GOLD.
American Eagle Bullion coins are sold based on the current market price of platinum, gold, or silver plus a small premium to cover minting, distribution, and marketing costs. A portion of this premium is often recoverable upon resale. Prices between dealers will vary. Volume discounts often apply.

NEW YORK (November 15, 2012)—President Barack Obama got an up-close look Thursday at areas that are still unlivable after Superstorm Sandy and vowed to stick with residents of damaged New York neighborhoods "until the rebuilding is complete."
Seventeen days after the storm hit, Mr. Obama brought the spotlight to people still living without heat and electricity, and hugged some of those who are trying to rebuild their lives.
Speaking from a block in Staten Island that was demolished by the storm, Mr. Obama said, "We're reminded that we are bound together and we have to look out for each other."
Nine days after a closely divided country gave him a second term, Mr. Obama said that when it comes to helping people recover from the storm, "the petty differences melt away."
He met privately with parents whose two young boys were swept away in the storm.
They were among more than 100 people who lost their lives.
Before arriving on Staten Island, the president flew by helicopter over an area of Queens where about 100 homes burned to the ground.
One man whose Staten Island home was wrecked says he's been waiting in line every day, all day, hoping to speak with FEMA officials.
Anthony Gatti, who said Mr. Obama should have visited sooner, said that it would be "a great thing" if the president could speed up the process of dealing with the federal government.

Used Product For: 4-6 weeks
Yes, I recommend this product.
"Bought a couple of pairs of laces for my newly purchase NB's, a length that was suggested for the shoe and a shorter one. I ended up liking the shorter laces as the lace that is recommended and that comes with the shoes are way to long. I also bought a different color to match the shoe better as well. There really isn't much of a review to talk about, the laces feel a bit cheap when using them but for the price, you can't complain."

EMA rejects Santhera's Raxone
21.01.2013 - The EMA has withdrawn an MAA of Switzerland's Santhera for Raxone, a synthetic coenzyme Q10 derivative against hereditary blindness.
The EU regulatory authority argued that Santhera had investigated too few patients with Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy during clinical development. However, as in the case of uniQure's currently approved orphan drug Glybera, Santhera plans to ask the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) to reconsider its treatment based on the clinical need the drug addresses. Only a narrow majority of CHMP had voiced concerns about the reliability of the results.
"Since there were no concerns expressed about the safety of Raxone and the observed treatment benefit on visual acuity in these patients was clinically relevant and consistent with the published literature, we believe that we should be allowed to address the remaining concerns through further confirmatory clinical work to be conducted post-approval," Santhera CEO Thomas Meier said in a statement.
LHON is caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA. The genetic disorder typically presents in young men, as loss of vision in both eyes, leading to blindness within a few months after the onset of symptoms. More than 95% of patients harbour one of three pathogenic mutations of the mitochondrial DNA, which cause a defect in complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The defect leads to decreased ATP production, increased oxidative stress and retinal ganglion dysfunction which cause progressive loss of visual acuity and blindness. Raxone (idebenone), a synthetic short-chain benzoquinone and a cofactor for the enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) is capable of transferring electrons directly onto complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, thereby circumventing the complex I defect.

Larry Hyatt of Hendersonville couldn't agree more with Elaine Staton's questioning of the "go green" crowd. "I tried one of those new environmentally friendly bulbs, and it started smoking," he says. "I think President Barack Obama's green energy policy is to get everybody dependent on the government. His only agenda is the bigger the government the better. And why doesn't he condemn any of the recent violence with the unions and the lawmaker who said there will be blood over the right-to-work vote? His aim is to make the left wholly dependent on government handouts, and now he is instilling fear in those of us on the right so that we have to depend on government protection."

'PERSONAL TOUCH': Susan Bowman of Columbus has been bicycling for 30 years, and she's singing the praises of Norm Pace at Great Escape in Greenville, S.C., and Tyler Blackwood at Great Escape in Spartanburg, S.C., for helping make it possible. "I am 60 years old and having fun, getting fit and enjoying our moderate climate year-round. It's one of the few joys," she says. "Norm and Tyler keep my equipment in great shape, recommend upgrades and add the personal touch when that is becoming obsolete. If you are a cyclist, see you on the road. If you are not a cyclist, visit Great Escape and see what you have been missing."
'NOT MUCH LEARNED': John Albree of Columbus says that during a recent trip to Spartanburg he and his wife, Phyllis, noted "with pure pleasure" that almost every U.S. flag on a public building or business was being flown at half-staff in memory of the victims of the massacre in Newtown, Conn. "We made it a point to drive by North Grove Medical Park to observe its flag. What do you think we found this time? Absolutely nothing — no flag, period, at 12:30 p.m. The president of the United States directed on Dec. 14 that all U.S. flags on public buildings should be flown at half-staff until sunset Dec. 18. Not much learned at North Grove Medical Park since its poor demonstration on National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day."
UH-OH!: A man called home to his wife and said, "Sweetheart, I have been invited to go fishing up the coast with my boss and several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to work on getting that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and fishing box? We're leaving from the office, and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thought it sounded a bit fishy, but being the good wife, she did exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomed him home and asked whether he caught many fish. "Yes," he said. "We caught lots of salmon and swordfish. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?" The wife replied, "I did. They're in your fishing box!"

Woman critically injured in wreck was not wearing seatbelt
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 9:00 a.m.

MILLS RIVER— A Brevard woman injured in a wreck Wednesday morning was not wearing a seatbelt, the N.C. Highway Patrol said, and is in critical condition.
Photo Galleries
The woman was driving a 1989 Chevrolet pickup truck at about 7:45 a.m. at the intersection of Boylston Highway and Brickyard Road when she pulled out in front of a car, said Trooper K. Dale. She was ejected when the truck flipped once and landed on the shoulder of the road.
The 2009 Chevrolet passenger car, driven by Brandon Lance, 41, of Hendersonville, was traveling east on N.C. Highway 280.
Both drivers were taken to Mission Hospital via ambulance. Dale said Lance did not suffer from life-threatening injuries.
The trooper said he was not yet able to release the name of the driver of the pickup trick.
Charges are pending and speed was not a factor, Dale said.

"Bringing up S&M with your partner can be shocking and awkward. A great way to test a fantasy is to incorporate it into dirty talk. Whisper in your partner's ear, 'What would you think if I did this to you? I would find it so sexy.'"
"Physically and emotionally, kink can be heavy, so it's great for long-term couples who already have built up trust. Still, if there's going to be bondage and a little struggle, have a safe word other than 'no.' It can be 'red,' 'banana'—something you normally wouldn't say during sex."

GLENWOOD SPRINGS - Smaller houses and denser neighborhoods, a concept mostly confined to conversations between land planners and public policy makers in the past, is finding its way into the real estate market following the recession.Walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods and main street-style shopping areas, even in small towns and redeveloping suburban communities, are more attractive to a large segment of homebuyers.Especially younger people in their 20s and 30s are rejecting the suburban style of living preferred by their parents, according to presenters at the Sonoran Institute's Community Builders 2012 summit held Thursday and Friday at the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood."Generation Y is our economic future," said Andy Knudtsen, of Denver-based Economic & Planning Systems, of the generational term coined for those born in the late 1970s and early 1980s."Anything we can do to facilitate bringing Generation Y into our communities will be a benefit," Knudtsen advised the room full of public and private planners, elected officials and business leaders.He pointed to a western Colorado housing market survey his company and the Sonoran Institute have been working on, in which the following comment was offered by someone in that important age group:"My home is where I sleep; my community is where I live."That sentiment defines a new generation of consumers who, especially in the Rocky Mountain West, are active, spend a lot of time outdoors and in social gatherings, and tend to prefer smaller, less expensive places to live, emphasized Knudtsen and others at the summit.The two-day summit focused on "the business of creating better communities," by exploring new approaches to development, especially urban and suburban renewal projects."A lot of what we're learning now really turns on its head some of our conventional thinking about development," said Clark Anderson, Western Colorado program director for the Sonoran Institute.The Sonoran Institute has a regional office in Glenwood Springs, but focuses on helping communities throughout the Rocky Mountain West achieve community development and resource management goals.Adam Ducker, managing director of the real estate consultants Robert Charles Lesser & Co., said the recession that came in 2008 after several years of unprecedented real estate market growth provided an opportunity for communities to rethink how they wanted to develop going forward."As I like to say, a recession is a terrible thing to waste," Ducker said.Communities in western Colorado are poised to embrace the new market trends that can support redevelopment of some of the older, suburban types of development that may have out-lived their time, Ducker said."We are seeing an emerging desire for high-density in suburban areas," he said of an "urban renewal" approach to development that used to be more focused on inner-city areas.Part of that is a result of the new demographic of those entering the real estate market, including younger land-use planners and developers who have embraced that model.He noted that the preferred home size in the United States has shrunk from around 2,800 square feet in 1994 to less than 2,000 square feet today."Younger people like 'urban light,' and more pedestrian orientation," Ducker said. "Walkability is the most important community feature to Generation Y."It is changing the way we think, and it's something that you will want to embrace as well," he said."I'm that Generation Y guy," said 30-something Jed Selby, president of the South Main Development in Buena Vista, who also spoke at the Friday summit.The mixed-use development situated on a formerly vacant piece of land along a popular stretch of the Arkansas River for whitewater enthusiasts is one example of attempting to cater to the younger, more active buyer and investor, Selby said.The Friday summit also included a housing market panel discussion between Selby, Knudtsen, Ducker and Glenwood Springs real estate developer Todd Leahy, who also sits on city council. Afternoon sessions focused on renewing existing downtown areas and different economic development strategies.

GOP Vows to Make Health Law an Issue in 2014
Republican campaign officials vowed to make Obamacare a centerpiece of 2014 elections Sunday morning, citing the HealthCare.gov's problems and the number of cancelled insurance policies as proof that the legislation will not work.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that the health-care law will be "toxic" for Democrats in the midterm elections. He pointed to the 16 Senate Democrats up for reelection next year who voiced their frustration with the law's rollout to the White House last week as a clear sign that the party is concerned.
"We will tattoo it to their forehead in 2014," he said of the controversy surrounding the law's rollout. "We will run on it. And they will lose because of it."
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, defended the law on CNN and said Democratic candidates will be able to use it as an advantage in midterm elections. "Americans have been feeling the benefits [of the law] since 2010," she said, pointing to provisions that allow young people to remain on their parents' insurance plans until the age of 26 and prevent insurers from denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
She added that less than 5% of Americans in the individual market will be required to change their plans under the law and said that their new plans will provide better coverage. And she criticized Republican attempts to dilute the law, such as a bill by Rep. Fred Upton (R., Mich.) that would allow people to keep their plan and authorize insurance companies to keep offering plans that do not meet the law's insurance standards.
"To suggest that we have to do that, and create two separate tracks that are going to allow people to be discriminated against again and not have good quality health care, that's unacceptable," she said. "We're not going backwards."
Ms. Wasserman Schultz rejected analysis of the Virginia gubernatorial race that said Obamacare—which Virginia voters oppose 46-53%, according to exit polls—closed the gap between Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe and his Republican challenger, Ken Cuccinelli. Mr. McAuliffe won the election by a margin of 3%, a narrower margin than expected, as 81% of those who oppose Obamacare voted for Mr. Cuccinelli.
"Obamacare did not have anything to do with Tuesday's outcome," she said, adding Mr. McAuliffe won the state by a margin similar to President Barack Obama's 2012 finish in the state.

Segments 2 and 3 of Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project Approved by California Public Utilities Commission
March 23, 2007
On March 15, the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) approved Southern California Edison's (SCE) application to build segments 2 and 3 of the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project. The 57 miles of new lines will transmit power from wind developments proposed for northern Los Angeles and eastern Kern counties.
In a press release, SCE said that when all phases are developed, the Tehachapi project will include a series of new and upgraded high-voltage transmission lines capable of delivering 4,500 megawatts (MW) of electricity from wind farms and other generating companies. That would be enough energy to power nearly 3 million homes.
SCE has proposed constructing the Tehachapi project in 11 segments to coincide with the development of the independently owned wind farms. Segment 1 was approved by the PUC on March 1 and is pending approval by the U.S. Forest Service. Segments 2 and 3 include five components: a new 21-mile, 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting SCE's existing Antelope and Vincent substations; two new substations to be named Windhub and Highwind, located near Mojave and Monolith; a new, 25.6-mile, 500 kV transmission line connecting SCE's existing Antelope Substation with the proposed Windhub Substation; and a new, 9.6-mile, 220 kV transmission line connecting Windhub Substation with Highwind Substation. The new lines are expected to be operational in early 2009. SCE will file an application next June to build the remaining segments.
The Tehachapi project is part of SCE's 5-year, $4.3-billion transmission expansion program. The PUC decision will assist the utility in meeting the California Renewable Portfolio Standard, which requires each utility to obtain 20 percent of its power from renewable energy sources by 2010.
For more information, see the March 15 SCE press release.

But now there's THIS:
A recent episode of the animated comedy "Family Guy" included a scene in which the show's main character committed mass murder at the Boston Marathon, prompting Fox to pull the episode from its website and Hulu in light of this week's deadly bombing at the race, CBS News reported.

Deletes apps and their associated files.
AppDelete is an application for Macs that will delete the application you choose and any associated items (files and folders) that belong to that applicatioAppDelete will delete the application you choose and any associated items (files and folders) that belong to that application. Now you will no longer have to hunt through your system to find these items and delete them manually. Or worse, just let them sit on your Mac forever even though the application is long gone!
To run AppDelete just drag the application or folder containing the application you want to delete onto the AppDelete icon. You can also select from the main menu, right-click an item in the Finder using the AppDelete Automator workflow, or just drop an app in the Trash. An easy way is to keep AppDelete in your dock so you can drag your app or folder containing the app onto the icon in your dock. After doing this AppDelete will search your system to find the associated items. After clicking on "Delete" these items will be moved inside of a folder in the trash named "AppDelete" with the name of the app you dragged onto the icon. You can inspect this folder if you like before emptying the trash.
AppDelete also has a "Undo" feature, the ability to "Log only" for reference, it can search for invisible or "hidden" items, and more! And AppDelete keeps a log of all processing that it does.

Excellent program.I'm also like this application.Thanks for information and link.
Free version of TrashMe does a fine job.
Great app! Better than CleanApp, and smaller than AppZapper. As I don't uninstall a lot of apps, I am still using the trial version, but wouldn't mind buying it!
Hi everyone! I appreciate the comments and just wanted to let everyone know I will make sure this page stays updated on a regular basis going forward. The latest info can always be found as well on my website www.reggieashworth.com. If anyone has any questions please send me an email via my site. Thank you for using AppDelete!
Reggie the Developer
AppDelete is incredibly nice. Reggie the dev is someone who listens to what the testers say.
Excellent program....I have tried App Zapper and wasn't impressed....I am also a fan of the dock icon...
I originally paid $5 for the application. Later, my license stopped working. I emailed the dev on a Sunday and received a reply & fix in <15 minutes. With AppCleaner being a free alt, there would seem little reason to pay $5. However, AppDelete is updated regularly, and I get the feeling you can email the dev any problems and get them fixed quickly (AppCleaner hasn't been updated in 9-10 months).
Hello from Reggie Developer of AppDelete. I just want to say thank you for the great reviews and if you need any direct assistance please do email me anytime. And there's much more to come with AppDelete so stay tuned! :-)
@alistair Main point: AppDelete finds more associated files than AppCleaner, making it the better solution.
So while I agree that the payment options may be slim, trolling/spamming a meaningful opinionâ"one that compares the functionality of this app to similar onesâ"is not conducive to this forum. What I said was on topic. I was justifying the modest fee by a review of the app.
@oldsystem Some people may want to pay to support and keep using the app, but to some people $5 is more than a beer and to other people PayPal isn't available.
I ended up using AppCleaner to remove AppDelete.

SAN JOSE -- The latest decision voiding a San Jose deal to ensure the A's have a new ballpark should Major League Baseball ever allow a move to the South Bay won't keep the team's co-owner, Lew Wolff, from achieving his goal to play in San Jose.
"It's what I anticipated," said the 77-year-old businessman, who dismissed the land decision from state Controller John Chiang as an insignificant concern in the team's four-year quest to call San Jose home.
"Frankly, if we're approved by baseball to relocate to San Jose, we'll buy the land from any entity that has it if they want to sell it to us," Wolff said, even if the sale price were higher. "Whatever it is, it'll be a small part of the total cost of the ballpark. So I haven't really thought about it."
On Thursday, Chiang's highly anticipated report found that San Jose inappropriately transferred $148.1 million in properties, cash and other assets, including a portion of the ballpark land, from its former redevelopment agency before it was dissolved on June 28, 2011.
That's when Gov. Jerry Brown signed the death warrant for all of the state's 398 active agencies, making good on his promise months earlier to divert hundreds of millions of property taxes the agencies collected to fund schools and local governments.
Oakland officials, who have worked furiously to keep the A's from leaving, including offering the team a new ballpark in a proposed Coliseum City project, declined to comment on Thursday's development.
But the A's have asked the city to stay for the next five years, said Mayor Jean Quan, and "we're pleased to be negotiating a fair deal with the team for that lease extension."
The law that ended redevelopment agencies requires any land and other assets that they transferred to a city, county or other public agency after Jan. 1, 2011, be turned over to a "successor agency" that oversees its ongoing debt payments. The exception is if those properties were committed to a third party by June 28 of that year.
A successor agency and its oversight board can either sell the land to pay down redevelopment debt or fund schools and local government, or return it to the city if it determines it serves a "civic purpose," subject to approval by the state finance department. San Jose's seven-member successor agency board includes two representatives from the city, two from the county, and one each from the Santa Clara County Office of Education, Community College District, and Santa Clara Valley Water District.
Chiang's report identified $108.1 million in former San Jose redevelopment land and improvements transferred to city ownership be handed to the successor agency. That includes California Theatre, valued at $67.7 million; Circle of Palms at the Fairmont Hotel Plaza, valued at $2.2 million; and the tent at the city's convention center, valued at $7.1 million. But city officials expect the successor agency to return those properties to San Jose, as they serve a civic purpose.
Chiang's office also ordered $10.9 million in cash transfers to San Jose's Housing Agency to be returned, which the city has already done.
But a key concern is 4.88 acres of ballpark-area property that the city transferred to the "San Jose Diridon Development Authority" in March 2011 in hopes of protecting it from the state's clutches. The city in November of that year signed an option agreement with the A's to purchase those parcels for about $7 million, which the city said was the value of the land if restricted to use for a ballpark. The redevelopment agency had valued the 4.88 acres at $29.1 million.
While few expected Chiang's office would decide in the city's favor -- both Milpitas and Morgan Hill last summer were given similar marching orders to return assets each had tried to keep from the state -- the outcome was still frustrating to many.
"We disagree with their interpretation of state law in terms of all the properties they have identified," Mayor Chuck Reed said by telephone from Washington, D.C., where he is on city business. "But I'm going to recommend to the council that we transfer all of them back to the successor agency, as the state requested."
San Jose City Attorney Rick Doyle said the city stands by its argument with Chiang's office that the ballpark property transfers were done legally in a third-party agreement. But Chiang's office said that agreement came too late.
Yet, even if San Jose's successor agency, and then its oversight board, agrees to maintain that original deal the city made with Wolff, it must still be signed off by the state's Department of Finance, said spokesman H.D. Palmer, who would not speculate on any future decision by his department.
San Jose's proposed A's ballpark would be built on 13.36 acres near the Diridon train station, bounded by Park Avenue and San Fernando and Autumn streets. The team would build the ballpark at an estimated cost of about $500 million. More than half of the parcels needed to complete the ballpark remain privately owned.
The San Francisco Giants staunchly oppose the move, claiming the territorial rights to the South Bay. The Giants declined to comment on Thursday's development.
Nothing, however, can proceed, unless Major League Baseball, which has been studying the A's proposed move to San Jose since March 2009, allows that to happen. City leaders also have committed to a public vote on the stadium, should MLB give the A's its blessing to relocate.
City officials had already received assurances from three Santa Clara County supervisors that they would support the ballpark effort in case Chiang overruled the city's land deal with Wolff.
"We feel like it's very do-able," Supervisor Dave Cortese said Thursday, "and we want to be part of the solution."

Five individuals have filed for spots coming open on the Hannibal City Council. Tuesday was the opening day of the filing period.
As expected, two have filed for mayor. Incumbent Roy Hark will seek a fifth term. Challenging Hark will be Lou Barta, former Third Ward councilman. Both men announced their intentions to run on Oct. 11.
Another race is shaping up in Ward 2 where incumbent Michael Dobson will be opposed by Jennifer Foster.
Through 3 p.m. Wednesday only Barry Louderman had filed in Ward 4. Louderman currently holds the seat.
The only other Council spot up for election will be in the Sixth Ward, which was only filled on Dec. 4 when James Locke was selected to serve by the Council members until the next municipal election, which comes up in April 2013.
The winner of the April election in the Sixth Ward will serve the remainder of the unexpired term of Dr. Richard Draper, who because of work conflicts resigned from the Council on Oct. 30. A year will remain on the Sixth Ward term following next April's election.
The filing period will remain open until 5 p.m. Jan. 15.

MORAGA -- Saint Mary's junior forward Beau Levesque was named the West Coast Conference's men's basketball Player of the Week after leading the Gaels to wins over San Diego and Pepperdine.
Levesque, a Lafayette native who attended De La Salle High, scored a career-high 20 points in a 81-48 win over San Deigo then led the Gaels with 19 points as they beat Pepperdine 84-72. He earned those points on 16-of-21 shooting from the field (76 percent).
He also averaged five rebounds coming off the bench in the two victories. Levesque is the first Saint Mary's player to earn the WCC's weekly honor this season.

MARTINEZ -- A 33-year-old Richmond woman was sentenced Wednesday to seven years in state prison for fatally stabbing her husband's girlfriend in a Richmond park last year.
Originally charged with murder, Crystal Ladonna Birden took a plea deal earlier this month and pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter with use of a knife for killing 24-year-old Oakland resident Tiye Rebecca Freeman on Feb. 7, 2012.
Freeman, the mother of a 4-year-old boy, aspired to start a career in fashion or cosmetology. Her mother, Carmelita Taylor, said every member of her family has been struggling through great pain since Freeman's death.
"It just hurts so bad, I can't even explain," Taylor said.
Birden was separated from her husband James Hollaway when Hollaway, who has a history of domestic violence against Birden, brought Freeman over to the home Birden shared with her four young children, prosecutors said.
The two women fought at the residence before agreeing to continue their fight that night at a park on Sixth Street in Richmond. Hollaway drove Birden to the fight.
"Two women were fighting over an abusive, cheating husband, and now one is dead and the other's life is ruined," deputy district attorney Bill Murphy said. "He was playing both of them."
During the altercation, Birden pulled out a steak knife that she had been hiding up her sleeve and fatally stabbed Freeman.
"She didn't have to kill my daughter. She didn't need to bring a weapon with her," Taylor said. "My daughter did not deserve that."
The plea offer was driven by accounts that Freeman charged at Birden before she was stabbed, Murphy said.
"Ms. Birden had an extremely strong self-defense case, but the stakes were too high and ultimately she wanted the assurance of being able to go back to her family one day," said Birden's attorney, deputy public defender K.C. Donovan. "She is sorry for all the pain that has come from that day."

This head coaching thing is starting to feel like second nature for Chuck Martin. Now, in his seventh year at the helm of The Master's College men's basketball program, Martin is settling in but not satisfied. He knows there is a lot of work still to be done to return the Mustangs to national prominence.
Building on a foundation he poured in 2006-07, he has made significant inroads into that mission, leading the Mustangs into the GSAC Tournament for the past five years. But, that hasn't satisfied the Eugene, Oregon, native even after his first 20-win campaign (20-16) and a 9-9 showing in the GSAC.
Still, that shows the competitive mentality and vision of this man who knows what it's like to win at the highest level of college basketball. A glimpse of where he came from reveals even more.
Prior to coming to The Master's, Martin served as associate head coach at NCAA Division I Liberty University where he was part of a staff that turned around a struggling program in the Big South Conference. The Flames rose from the lowest-ranked team in the nation to one that won the Big South Conference Championship and made an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004.
Subsequent to his move to Liberty, Martin spent 14 seasons as a head coach at three different Alaska high schools. Most recently he served as head coach at Wasilla High School (1998-2002), where he rebuilt a basketball program into a state contender. He also coached at Colony High School for six years, launching the program when the doors opened in the fall of 1991. Martin began his coaching career at

4 Questions from the Community
The Kwikset 730CHL features a set screw on each side of the handle, allowing each side to be removed, leaving the spindle 'core' behind. When the handles are swapped, they'll still have the curve point down.
When I reverse the handing on this lever will the curve still be pointing down? In the video the curve is going the other direction after he reverses it? I have a French door and the curve has to match the dummy levers.
A. The Kwikset 730CHL features a set screw on each side of the handle, allowing each side to be removed, leaving the spindle 'core' behind. When the handles are swapped, they'll still have the curve point down.
That function is called 'panic proof' and this handle does not have it, you would need to turn the thumb turn on the inside to unlock the door. And yes, we can do split finishes, that would be a special order you would need to call in to the call center for.
Two Questions: Does the locked setting automatically unlock itself when the lever is operated to exit the private room or does the turn button have to be turned? Can a split finish be ordered e.g. pewter on nonprivate side and polished chrome or satin nickel on the private side?
A. That function is called 'panic proof' and this handle does not have it, you would need to turn the thumb turn on the inside to unlock the door. And yes, we can do split finishes, that would be a special order you would need to call in to the call center for.
Yes, this item is reversible.
Can this lever set be a right and a left? I have a few doors that open both ways and would like to match all the doors in my home.
A. Yes, this item is reversible.
The Kwikset 730CHL is a Privacy Lever Set.
The header description says "Privacy Door LEVER" but it is really a LEVER SET with a lever on each side, right?

There is no question that dogs can provide companionship, protection, and other services. But could there be another use for our canine friends? Some anecdotal evidence and a sprinkling of scientific studies suggest that dogs can detect seizures and cancers such as skin melanoma and prostate cancer.
Though many anecdotal stories suggest dogs can alert their owners before a seizure, there has been little research on how dogs might detect seizures before they happen. Some theorize that the dog's attachment to his owner helps in detecting subtle scent and behavioral changes. This has some researchers studying whether these skills could be taught.
Researchers in the United Kingdom found that the people using specially trained dogs actually reported fewer seizures. Though these results are promising, in most cases, it still seems that this skill is inherent in a dog's personality, rather than something that can be taught. Future research may reveal what these dogs are detecting and how this information can be applied in the hospital setting.
There is no doubt that these dogs can alert help, help prevent injury, and watch over someone when they are having a seizure. However, the Epilepsy Foundation urges people to wait until research supports a specific training regimen for seizure predicting dogs.
There has also been anecdotal evidence of dogs being able to sniff out cancer and warn their owners. One published report describes how a dog discovered a cancerous skin tumor on her owner's leg. Other research supports the theory that dogs have the ability to smell cancer. Some dogs have been trained to detect cancer. But the real promise may be in learning how dogs can do this and possibly developing medical technology to do the same.
Dogs may never be used in the doctor's office. However, studying how animals can detect diseases in humans could lead to future advancements in medicine and medical technology. For instance, by learning about the ways dogs smell a seizure or cancer cells, we can develop technologies to detect those same molecules. Medical "sniffing machines" have already been developed and are providing insight into the smells of disease for disease detection.

AUSTIN (November 20, 2012)--Secretary of State Hope Andrade is stepping down after four years as the chief elections official in Texas.
She submitted her resignation letter to Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday.
Spokesman Rich Parsons says Andrade felt it was the "right time" to move on after overseeing the state's latest Election Day earlier month.
Andrade was the first Hispanic woman to hold the office and was the fourth-longest serving secretary of state in Texas history.
Her last day will be Friday.
Andrade is a San Antonio entrepreneur whom Perry appointed in 2008.
Perry issued a statement Tuesday saying that Andrade's "personal commitment to making Texas a place of unlimited opportunity will leave a lasting impression on our state's future."
"I'm thankful for her service and I'm proud to call her a friend. I wish her all the best as she continues to make our state a better place," he said.

Recently, GhostBSD 2.0 was released. What is GhostBSD? It's a FreeBSD distribution that uses GNOME as its sole DE and aims to make FreeBSD more user-friendly, similar to what Ubuntu has done to Debian (and the Linux community as a whole) — that last part comes from the GhostBSD website. This puts GhostBSD in the position of being the GNOME counterpart to PC-BSD, which is a KDE-focused FreeBSD distribution, although that will gain GNOME and other DE variants as well with the upcoming release of version 9.0.

Massachusetts and Illinois Support Large Renewable Energy Projects
Both Massachusetts and Illinois have recently launched new programs to encourage large, on-site renewable energy projects. The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) released a solicitation in late October for feasibility studies and design and construction of renewable energy projects at commercial, industrial, institutional, and public facilities. The project must be greater than 10 kilowatts in capacity, with at least half of the renewable power consumed on-site, and can include fuel cells, hydropower, or wind, solar, or biomass power. The MTC is providing $8.9 million over the next three years for its new Large Onsite Renewables Initiative, and the deadline for this first round of applications is January 12th, 2006. See the MTC solicitation.
Illinois launched a Renewable Energy Development Fund on November 7th to support community-scale wind energy projects throughout the state. Under the $4 million program, the Illinois Finance Authority will work with community banks and lenders to provide loans and loan guarantees to qualified farms and farmer cooperatives that construct wind turbines. Borrowers must contribute a minimum of 10 percent equity and are limited to community-scale projects that are under 20 megawatts. See the press release from Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

2.12 Introduction
New, June 13, 2008
When the state seeks an enhanced penalty due to a prior conviction, the offense must be charged in a two-part information. Practice Book § 36-14. A two-part information does not charge one crime in the first part and a second crime in the second part. The first part relates only to the commission of the crime charged, wholly unrelated to penalty. It is only after the second part has been determined that the penalty attaches to the crime proven under the first part. State v. LaSelva, 163 Conn. 229, 233-34 (1972); State v. Torma, 21 Conn. App. 496, 505 (1972) (enhanced penalty cannot be imposed unless charged in a two-part information).
The existence of a Part B
information should not be revealed to the fact-finder so as to not influence the
disposition of the claim contained in Part A. State v. Fitzgerald, 257
Conn. 106, 117 (2001). See Practice Book §§ 36-14, 37-10, 37-11 and 39-23 for
the rules of court relating to two-part informations. See also State v.
Ferrone, 96 Conn. 160, 175 (1921) (discussing the origin of the procedure).


text: Hi everyone I'm starting weight watchers next week after being a S******G W***D member for 5 years. I'd lost 7 1/2 stone up until June last year and since then I've gained a stone and a half. I just can't get it shifted. I now have 5 stone to lose to get to my goal weight so I've decided to quit and give weight watchers a go. From what I can see it's all about portion control. I have no full signal so I hope this plan will help me. So, does anyone have any tips for me?? I'm a bit nervous as I'm conditioned to the other weight loss club. Shopping is automatic. I know some stuff will be the same such as fruit and veg, which I love, but I'm wondering what bread and cereal I can have and meal ideas too. Any help or tips would be gratefully received. ?

Online Guide:
Where to Find
Inexpensive Yarns
In This Article
 Everyday low prices
 Canadian Sources
 UK Sources
 Worth the Drive
Sites Offering Everyday Low Prices
(Listed alphabetically)
DiscountYarnSale.com - The youngest of the pack, this elegantly styled online store carries all the biggies—including Katia, Mountain Colors, Noro, Mondial, Bernat, Caron, Debbie Bliss, ArtYarns, TLC, Skacel, to name a few.
Most yarns are sold in bags rather than individually, but the number of skeins per bag varies from yarn to yarn. Discounts tend to fall in the 20% range, but this, too, varies from yarn to yarn.
Do check the shipping policies before you order. Some yarns require special ordering (including Noro, Debbie Bliss, and Knitting Fever) and can take several months to ship.
Elann - Despite increased competition, this venerable low-priced online retailer remains at the top of her game. You'll find interesting, unusual yarns at excellent prices. All fibers are represented here, both natural and synthetic. If you look through the Oddballs and Closeouts sections, you'll easily be able to reproduce a designer sweater for under $30!
An easy-to-track customer loyalty program means even greater discounts every time your order totals reach a certain amount. I consider the Elann online shopping experience to be the best practice in the industry.
(As an aside, Elann is based in Canada but ships from both the U.S. and Canada depending on the order destination.)
Got Yarn - All the top names are here. Some, such as Colinette, aren't discounted. With yarns that are discounted, in many cases you must buy in quantities of five or 10 skeins. For most purposes, this doesn't pose any problem.
Knit Picks - The company totally revolutionized the way it did business in December 2004 when it kicked out all the other yarns from its inventory and went totally, completely, 100% Knit Picks brand yarns (read our overview). Prices are astounding—think pure wool for less than $2 a ball.
Most of the core line comes from Peru, although you'll find some Italian-spun yarns in there too. Fibers are mostly natural, featuring succulent alpacas, silks, cashmeres, and merinos, all for a fraction of what others charge.
Most books are also discounted below Amazon prices, and the company offers free shipping on orders over $40.
One Fine Day Yarns - The motto here is, "Because every day is a new ball of yarn." You'll find significantly discontinued and specialty-priced products as well as regular lines, with a focus on natural fiber yarns (wool, cotton, silk, alpaca). The site currently stocks the likes of GGH, Karabella, Katia, Cascade, Muench, Ornaghi Filati, Elsebeth Lavold, Blue Heron, Crystal Palace, Plymouth, and Noro.
Especially good prices can be found in the sale bin.
Smiley's Yarns - Feeding acrylics, cottons, and wools to Americans since 1935, this New York institution offers online ordering in its Internet Yarn Sale section. Brands include Bernat, Patons, Lion Brand, and Red Heart, and prices can be 75% below retail.
Canadian Sources
Beehive Wool - Based in Canada, this online retailer has excellent prices on Patons, Sandnesgarn, SR Kertzer, and OnLine yarns. It tends to favor acrylics and novelties.
Be sure to check out their sister site, YarnByTheBag.com for even deeper discounts.
Ram Wools - Also based in Canada, this online retailer is also known for its gorgeous catalogs (now published online six times a year) featuring original Ram Wools designs. But the company also carries a full selection of yarns from such names as Rowan, RYC, Debbie Bliss, Fleece Artist, Garnstudio, Mission Falls, Louisa Harding, Nashua, and Noro.
Order yarn by the bag for deeper discounts, and be sure to check out their new outlet mall, with discounts of 20% to more than 45% over retail. (The yarns are usually closeouts.)
UK Sources
Colourway - Some yarns can be far less expensive if you buy them in their "native" country—especially Rowan and Jaeger. Even with international shipping costs, you tend to pay less if you buy them from the U.K. My favorite source for British yarns, Colourway carries a deep and broad inventory of all the classics from Rowan, Jaeger, and Scottish Tweed (formerly Harris Yarns). They also stock the gorgeous Rowan fabrics and patchwork books.
Be sure to join their mailing list so you can get emails about their seasonal sales and factory closeouts.
Cucumberpatch - Offering similarly good prices on Rowan as well as Debbie Bliss, Cucumberpatch also has the elusive and desirable Hanne Falkenberg kits at equally good prices.
Prices are listed in Pounds Sterling, but with a simple dropdown menu you can see the price in many other currencies.
Worth the Drive
Webs - If you're in the Western Massachusetts region, book a hotel room in Northampton and dedicate at least a day to this enormous yarn warehouse. You'll find both brand names (Plymouth, Reynolds, Queensland, On-Line, Noro, Malabrigo, Katia, Karabella, and the likes) and the Webs' line of yarns—including the wonderful Valley Yarns launched in 2005.
For those who can't make the trip, Webs also offers online ordering.
eBay - You'll find some surprisingly good deals here. The key is to know the market value for what you're bidding on and not get swept up in the fervor of the auction.
I've seen a few unscrupulous sellers offer "rare" items (mostly with knitting needles) that are pretty commonplace, but I've otherwise had good yarn-buying experiences on eBay. Just in case, here are some general tips for eBay yarn buying.
First and foremost with any eBay buying, be sure to check out the seller's feedback profile before you bid. If you see one or two negative comments, don't give up on the seller immediately.
First, see how recent the feedback was and compare it to the number of positive ratings (one negative out of 400, for example, is far different than one out of six). Read it and see if the seller added any comments back. And then check the user rating of the person who gave the negative feedback.
All these things can give you a better perspective on all people involved. If the negative feedback-giver's record is squeaky clean, you can most likely trust that the feedback is genuine. If their own record is filled with criticisms, you know that this person may have more vendor issues than most.
If the eBay seller has no feedback or record of previous auctions, the general rule is to be extra careful.
If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you may want to stick with vendors who advertise yarns from smoke-free homes.
Also be sure to check out the seller's shipping policy and costs before you bid. Some sellers build in extra shipping costs to make up for any discount on the auction itself. And others bill you for USPS Priority Mail-level rates but ship via surface mail.
And finally, if you're really eager for a specific yarn, after you set up an eBay account you can set up a search for that yarn. Whenever it appears for auction, eBay will automatically send you an email notification.

Stanford Hospital has announced plans to open a new outpatient cancer center in San Jose in 2014.
Patients will receive cancer treatments there and have access to clinical trials, Stanford leaders said.
The center will be in a four-story, 70,000-square-foot building near the intersection of Highway 85 and Los Gatos Boulevard, near Good Samaritan Hospital.
"As an oncologist, I am excited about the opportunity to significantly expand patient access to Stanford's cancer care and our nationally recognized quality programs," said Dr. Douglas Blayney, medical director of the Stanford Cancer Center, in a news release.
"When it opens, this new outpatient center will offer patients coordinated medical services which are integrated with those they could receive by traveling to the Stanford campus, all in one convenient South Bay setting," he said.
Stanford has more than 300 ongoing clinical trials in cancer and is using genomics to develop targeted therapies, said Amir Dan Rubin, president and CEO of Stanford Hospital and Clinics, in a statement.
The cancer center will be one of Stanford's more comprehensive outpatient medical facilities. It also has major outpatient facilities in Palo Alto and Redwood City.
Patient care will be delivered by physicians from Stanford and the local medical community.
