GTAT chief explains acquisition of Santa Rosa thermal furnace maker
Gutierrez told analysts last week in a conference call that Thermal Technology products rely on a different process for growing crystals than those built by GT. Should future applications require different approaches, GT could offer the full spectrum of technologies and reduce the risk of �somebody selecting one path over the other and us not having a horse in the race.�

'The White Queen' Recap: Season 1, Episode 4: 'The Bad Queen'
On this episode of "The White Queen," Elizabeth and her mother Jacquetta talk about the passing of Anne's child. Elizabeth feels guilty about the magic they unleashed that inadvertently led to the death. Jacquetta is unrepentant. "These things happen," Jaquetta declares.
Isabel moans to Anne that they'll never get to return to England again–and she blames her father's plotting for her baby boy's death. Anne tells her they at least have each other.
Henry is training with swords. Protective Margaret Beaufort stops the exercise when he is nicked. But what cuts more deeply is when her princeling tells her that he doubts he'll ever become king.
Kingmaker Warwick is still at his attempts at Kingmaking. He tells Anne that she is to be married to Prince Edward, the Bad Son of the Bad Queen, Margaret d'Anjou. It's the only way he can raise an army big enough to challenge King Edward. Unfortunately for Anne, The Bad Queen's son Prince Edward is anything but a prince of a guy–in fact, he's a "monster." George is also angered–because Warwick plans to put crazy old King Henry on the throne.
Bad news is delivered to Sir Henry–thanks to the Lady Margaret Beaufort's scheming, he's lost the castle and titles. "We are the guests now," he says.
The Bad Queen arrives with her bad son. They are both pieces of work. And once Lord Warwick pledges his loyalty, she tells him he has to launch the attack on Edward himself–and she'll follow after he's done all the hard work. Unfortunately he pledged his allegiance on a piece of the True Cross, so it's kinda hard to take back.
Elizabeth learns of the alliance and moves to weaken it. She tells George's mom about the plot, and gets her to send a message to her son that if he splits with Warwick and the Bad Queen, he will be welcomed back to court.
Warwick manages to drive off Henry. Elizabeth flees. Warwick, in control, puts Jacquetta on trial for sorcery. Jaquetta, taking the stand, calls the Bad Queen as her witness. Turns out she has deep personal ties to the Bad Queen. If any harm comes to her, Jaquetta declares, "it will be your head she spikes on the city walls." It's her version of if the glove fits, you must acquit.
Anne and the Bad Prince are married. Her wedding night is a horror–nobody seems to have gotten around to telling her how sex works. And, what's worse, the Bad Prince is terrible at it.
Warwick puts crazy old King Henry back on the throne. Margaret Beaufort is overjoyed–her Henry is one step closer to his kingdom.
Elizabeth, hiding out, gives birth–this time to a son. "A York Prince," her mother says, crying tears of happiness.

A headline on a story misspelled the last name of suspended state Sen. Leland Yee.
A new racketeering charge handed up by a federal grand jury against state Sen. Leland Yee says he was part of an organized crime operation in which he sold legislative votes and influence for piles of money, just as he was earlier accused of conspiring to traffic in guns.
The indictment made public on Friday reveals for the first time a 2013 incident in which Yee, D-San Francisco, allegedly agreed to take $60,000 -- which he believed was coming from a National Football League team owner -- in exchange for his and another senator's vote on a bill dealing with workers' compensation insurance for pro athletes.
"We gotta juice this thing," Yee allegedly told an undercover FBI agent.
That money never changed hands, but the wheeling and dealing is part of the new racketeering charge, along with money he allegedly did take for other votes and actions.
The indictment replaces charges that prosecutors filed in March against Yee; Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, the alleged leader of a Chinatown mob; Yee campaign consultant Keith Jackson; and dozens of others.
Federal prosecutors in that earlier complaint claimed Yee, sometimes nicknamed "Uncle Leland," accepted checks and bags of cash from undercover operatives to pay off his campaign debts and help fund his bid to become secretary of state. Yee also allegedly tried to orchestrate an international arms deal with an undercover agent, promising to arrange shipments of high-powered weaponry from rebel groups in the Philippines for money.
The new count against Yee comes under 1970's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which levies harsher penalties for acts as part of an ongoing criminal organization. It's punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000, as are each of the earlier corruption and fraud charges.
The count alleges a pattern in which Yee and Jackson solicited bribes in return for Yee's work to help phony businesses set up by the FBI; to issue a proclamation praising Chow's Chee Kung Tong organization; and to swing votes on issues such as medical marijuana, regulation of the mixed martial arts industry, and workers' compensation insurance for professional athletes. They also conspired to take and conceal campaign contributions larger than legally permitted, the racketeering count alleges.
James Lassart, Yee's attorney, didn't answer phone calls and emails seeking comment Friday. Yee is scheduled to be arraigned on the indictment Thursday.
Capitol leaders were reticent Friday.
Rhys Williams, spokesman for state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said only that "the matter is appropriately in the hands of the justice system." Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, who will succeed Steinberg as the senate's chief, declined to comment.
The state Senate in late March voted 28-1 to suspend Yee and two other Democratic senators who face unrelated legal problems, though state law requires that they keep receiving their $90,526 annual salary.
The new racketeering charge is "pretty dramatic," said Peter Keane, dean emeritus of the Golden Gate University School of Law, and rare for defendants accused of political corruption. Such charges are usually reserved for "the Tony Sopranos of the world, the John Gottis of the world," he said.
"It makes Yee out to be someone who is a character involved in a very nefarious enterprise," Keane said. It also tells the public and potential jurors "they're dealing with someone who's not just a politician whose life took a bad turn at one point."
That's "pretty powerful from a tactical standpoint," he said, and federal prosecutors might hope this will make Yee "take a deal that he would not have taken originally."
The indictment is based largely on a three-year undercover FBI investigation in which Yee was allegedly involved in cutting illegal deals with agents posing as everything from East Coast mafia members to an Arizona businessman looking to expand into the medical marijuana business in California. An FBI affidavit alleges that Yee was involved in such clandestine illegal meetings as recently as mid-March, as he was ramping up his run for statewide office.
He dropped out of that race days after charges were filed against him, but it was too late to remove him from the state's ballots; Yee got 380,000 votes in the June 3 primary, finishing third in a field of eight.
Friday's indictment details a previously undisclosed incident in which an undercover FBI agent told Yee in May 2013 that he knew a National Football League team owner, and Yee described a pending Assembly bill -- AB1309 — that would limit professional athletes workers' compensation insurance claims in California.
Yee sat on a committee that would consider the bill, and asked the undercover agent to hook him up with the team owner. When the agent "asked how much Yee's vote would cost, Yee responded, 'Oh no ... we gotta drag it out, man. We gotta juice this thing,'" the indictment says. "Yee and Jackson said they planned to talk to both the owners of, and the players on, another professional sports team."
When Yee, Jackson and the agent met again in June 2013, "Yee discussed his upcoming vote on AB1309 and represented that he controlled two votes on the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee and that his vote was critical," the indictment says.
When the subject of the NFL team owner's payment to Yee came up, Yee told the agent to discuss that with Jackson, and left the meeting. Jackson told the agent "that Yee was going 'to be helpful' to the owner," the indictment says, "but wanted more money." The agent said the team owner would pay $60,000 for Yee's favorable vote.
The Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved AB1309 on a unanimous vote of Yee; Alex Padilla, D-Van Nuys; Mark Leno, D-San Francisco; Bill Monning, D-Carmel; and Mark Wyland, R-Carlsbad.
Leno said that in many years on the labor panel with Yee, he "never once discussed any matter before that committee with him."
Both houses of the Legislature later passed the bill with overwhelming votes -- though Yee abstained in the Senate floor vote. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law last October.

Police run next door to find woman beaten
Published: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 11:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 11:30 a.m.
Warrants have been issued for a Hendersonville man who police say fled the scene of an assault, leaving his beaten girlfriend crying in an apartment practically next door to the police station Monday night.
Dispatch officers at the Hendersonville Police Department received a complaint of a female screaming and the "sound of somebody being thrown against the wall" at the former Skyland Hotel around 8:13 p.m. Capt. Bruce Simonds said that when officers arrived at 538 N. Main St. they could hear a "female screaming behind the door," but no one answered when they knocked.
When they entered the room, he said, they found the female "crying with a black eye" and "obvious marks on her neck." The victim told police that her boyfriend had assaulted her, but he fled the scene. The victim refused medical treatment, Simonds said.
Arrest warrants have been issued for Corel Tee Thomas, 25, who faces a felony charge of assault by strangulation, felony larceny and misdemeanor assault on a female. He is scheduled to appear in Henderson County District Court tomorrow on an unrelated charge of misdemeanor assault on a female.

When Eagle Police were recently called to break up a fight at a local restaurant, the only person who received a warning was a fellow who kept disturbing the officers as they attempted to conduct their investigation.
According to the police report, about 40 people scattered around the restaurant parking lot when the two Eagle patrolmen arrived. When the officers spoke with the security guard on the scene, the man said there were approximately 10 fights in the area prior to the police arriving. The guard said he attempted to break up the fights and he injured a finger in the process.
While interviewing the guard and other witnesses, the police officers reported that a man kept interrupting them. They asked him to leave several times, but he would not go away. Eventually, the officers said the man begin to swear loudly and use obscene language. When one of the officers again told the man to leave, he instead approached him in an aggressive manner. At that point, the officer handcuffed the man.
After being handcuffed, the man calmed down and was released with a warning for disorderly conduct and obstruction. Police were unable to obtain any victim or suspect information at the scene and no charges were filed.
Police were called to a residence in Eagle, Feb. 10 when a local woman said her vehicle was damaged while it was parked on the street.
The woman said she parked partially in a driveway and partially in the street so she could pick up her children from a neighbor's home. While the officer was speaking with the woman, a neighbor approached and said he had seen a black SUV hit her car. He reported an older female was driving and a younger female was a passenger in the suspect car. The neighbor also told police the SUV had driven by the area twice since the accident occurred and he provided the vehicle's license plate number.
The officer aired a vehicle description over the radio and a second Eagle policeman reported he was in the midst of a traffic stop with the SUV. The vehicle occupants said they were backing out of the driveway when they hit the other car. They said they did not see the vehicle because the back window of the SUV was dirty. They drove away from the area, but then pulled over to assess any damage to their car. Then they drove back to the accident scene to see if the other car was damaged.
The women said they didn't think the other car was damaged and they didn't stop because they knew they were at fault in the accident. The driver provided police with a valid driver's license, vehicle registration and insurance information, and apologized to the women whose car she hit. The SUV driver was cited for failure to notify police of an accident, leaving the scene of an accident without providing information and unsafe backing.
Eagle Police responded to the Eagle Ranch area on a report of harassment Feb. 1 after an adult woman confronted a 13-year-old boy about how he was walking the family dogs.
The boy's father contacted police after the woman yelled at his son. The youth, who police described as "visibly upset," told the officer he always walks his two small dogs by tying them to his Razor scooter. He said he is always careful with the animals.
The youth said he was exercising the dogs around 5:30 p.m. when a woman started yelling at him. He said she asked him if he loved his dogs and told him she was a veterinarian and his actions were hurting the animals. She reportedly told the teen she should take his dogs away.
The teen said the woman grabbed his scooter, took the leashes off and threw the scooter on the ground. She then handed him the leashes and got into a silver car that was parked nearby.
The teen said his scooter was not damaged.
The boy's father told police he wanted the woman to apologize for her behavior.
The youth was advised to call police if he encountered the woman again.
• Police were called to the Eagle Villas on a report that someone intentionally broke the siding on Building No. 4 Jan. 30. Video surveillance footage of the incident showed the crime, but the identity of the perpetrators could not be determined.
• A teacher from Eagle Valley Middle School found screws in two of her car tires after some co-workers reported seeing three students hanging out around the vehicle. When contacted the students said they were just playing in the area and did not know anything about the damage.
• Police were dispatched to an Eagle home Feb. 7 when a father reported his daughter brought home a handgun she had found in a nearby parking lot. When police checked the gun's serial number, there was no criminal history associated with the weapon. Officers interviewed nearby residents but no one reported missing the gun. The weapon was placed into police evidence for safekeeping.

Instead of resolving the budget by the end of the year, which is what the American people entrusted the legislative bodies to do, the lawmakers and the president created a tentative agreement. This temporary arrangement is tantamount to an emergency room doctor temporarily bandaging or suturing a wound with instructions to visit one's primary physician for proper care.
Putting a temporary bandage or fix on the national budget is fiscally irresponsible and unacceptable. Analysts say this may become the "new method" of resolving the budget. If it is, this country will face devastating consequences and economic instability that will surpass the crises of the current recession.
American citizens, me included, did not vote for these legislators to stall, argue or hold out for their special interests to be incorporated into the budget. American citizens voted for these legislators with the faith and confidence that they would collaboratively address national economic issues, particularly passing a balanced budget, in a timely manner.
These senators and congressional representatives have betrayed the trust of the American people and have destabilized the American economy. None of these legislators are deserving of the office they were elected to hold.

How about taking guns from law-abiding citizens and finding out how bad crime really is?
Thanks to Jerry Brown, the prison parolees are on the loose because of prison overpopulation. Absent are an active death penalty and tough sentences to deter crime!
Liberals forget that in 2000 President Bill Clinton proposed the expansion of the "cops in schools" program. Where was the security guard at Sandy Hook Elementary School?
More important than any bank, military base, etc., our children and grandchildren are our most prized possessions to be guarded!

What will it take to restore health and morality to the city of Stockton? Get back to old-fashioned basics.
We must pray and humble ourselves before God. Bring back the Ten Commandments and school prayer. Only then will God hear from heaven, forgive our sins and heal the city.

Regarding the courthouse troubles: How quickly the Homo sapien's mind forgets.
When the present courthouse was built in 1963, lots of dollars were saved by installing elevators piecemeal by not giving one company the contract to install the complete system. Elevator cars were purchased from one company and the operating system from another. The elevators did not work from the get-go and have never worked properly for 49 years.
Almost from the start, water leaks appeared. When a modification took place a few years back to make room for more courtrooms, it was "discovered" that the old treasurer's office safe room was part of the main building support. Guess they burned the original plans after construction.
It is surprising that a strong wind has not blown the building over into San Joaquin Street. Can the taxpayers be assured that the construction of the new courthouse will be any better with probably the use of foreign steel and other construction materials?
I rather think not.

Perseus and Andromeda
Theme of Sacrifice in Perseus and Andromeda
At the beginning of the tale, Andromeda is about to be fed to the Cetus, a sea monster. Her father and mother have decided to sacrifice their daughter so that their kingdom can be saved. The idea of sacrificing a virgin or a beautiful maiden remains a pretty common story element in literature and popular entertainment today. In King Kong, the natives try to sacrifice the beautiful girl to everybody's favorite giant ape. In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, love interest Willie Scott is almost sacrificed by the bloody cult that Indi is up against. The sacrificing-the-helpless-girl trope does seem a bit dated, we have to admit. Still, the challenging decision about whether it's okay to sacrifice a loved one for the greater good never gets old.
Questions About Sacrifice
- If you were in King Cepheus' position, would you make the same decision? Would you sacrifice a loved one if it meant you could save your whole kingdom? Why or why not?
- What other examples of human sacrifice in literature and popular entertainment can you think of? (For Shmoop, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and the Hunger Games series come to mind…)
- Are there any other kinds of sacrifice in the myth of Perseus and Andromeda besides the literal sacrifice of Andromeda?

Santos Sr. 114 (Continued on page 3) Two Councilmen Arrested Election Day Two Tribal Council incumbent candidates awaited election returns from jail cells when they were arrested on separate charges. Tribal Chairman Harold W. Mitchell, Jr. , had been arrested December 17, by the Lake County Sheriff on charges of solicitation and criminal mischief in connection with a fire which destroyed his St. Ignatius home in late October. Lake County Attorney Richard Heinz said Mitchell was taken to Lake County jail after a court ordered search turned up numerous items Mitchell claimed had been burnt in the fire. Heinz said a search of a St. Ignatius building and a Pablo trailer house where Mitchell had been staying since the fire, had discovered the alleged lost items. Heinz said the charges alleged that Mitchell deliberately planned the fire, and that the former Tribal Chairman will be tried in district court. Mitchell is charged with allegedly hiring a juvenile to set fire to the residencewhile he was away on a trip. Heinz said that both charges are felonies. Meanwhile, Mitchell had been released on a $5,000 bond pending further investigation. Mitchell was not available for comment. In a separate incident, Arlee district Councilman Louis W.Adams, was arrested by Sanders County Sheriff's deputies on charges of sexual intercourse without consent. The charge had been filed by a Hot Springs woman, whose name was being withheld. (Continued on page 2)

SANTA CLARA -- A day after David Akers' latest painful miss, Jim Harbaugh expressed optimism that the veteran kicker would return to his reliable form.
The 49ers coach said he expected Akers to be his kicker Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Candlestick Park.
"I do," Harbaugh said Monday. "We'll see what his health status is this week, but all indications are (he'll play)."
Akers missed a 51-yard attempt in overtime against St. Louis on Sunday. The kick drifted right, and the Rams capitalized minutes later when rookie Greg Zuerlein drilled the winner from 54 yards out.
Akers declined to make excuses for the miss, but he was on the injury report last week with a pelvis injury. With Akers' status in doubt, the 49ers brought veterans Nate Kaeding and Billy Cundiff in for a tryout.
Harbaugh said Monday that Akers is close to turning the corner.
"He's working through something, but he's kicked well in practice," he said. "He's kicked well in games. I thought the one that he hit in (overtime) was well hit. It just didn't go in."
Akers is only 1 of 5 from beyond 50 yards this season. Overall, he has missed nine of his past 24 attempts.
"He takes responsibility and knows it's his job to put it through the uprights," Harbaugh said. "As far as his mindset, it's as a pro."

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by Doee from LOVE IT I wasn't sure I'd made the right decision ordering a vessel sink instead of a standard vanity. When it arrived it was very pretty and extremely well made. However, I still wasn't sure it would function as well as it looked. When installed I couldn't wait to try it. I must say it exceeded my expectations and I truly LOVE IT. The water flow is great and the bowl offers plenty of room. My husband has chosen one for his bathroom as a result of seeing and using mine. If you are tall you may wish to consider using a wall hung base and raise the height of your cabinet. A couple of inches will make a huge difference to your back while using the sink. Instructions did not include a template for hole placement on the counter top. Measure and place carefully. Who ever drills the holes for you should have the sink and faucet in hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dlucas5 from Great sink When we purchased the sink the plumber noticed a flaw in the bottom of the sink as he was getting ready to install it, I called the company and they told me to send it back (at no charge) and they would send me a new one. The new got here the same day as the damaged one was picked up. Great service and the sink is joy to look at. If we ever have to purchase another sink I will come back to this company to do that. Don

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Warriors have said that above all they were more concerned about playing well at the end of the season. That's why there were positive vibes that came out of a 119-117 overtime loss at Portland.
The Warriors clawed back from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit and got the tying shot from Draymond Green. They saw Stephen Curry get red hot and hang 47 points on the playoff-bound Trail Blazers. At this stage, Golden State will take that.
With a playoff series likely against the Los Angeles Clippers looming, the Warriors appear dangerous. Green, who is adjusting back to a bench role after David Lee regained his position in the starting lineup, embodied that with a big shot.
"He's not afraid of the moment, a guy that's always ready," coach Mark Jackson said. "Played big for us, the numbers don't do him justice, but made a big shot for us, and we expect that from him."
Jackson beamed about Curry passing to Green, then to Andre Iguodala for the 3-point attempt that rimmed out on the final possession in overtime. Curry had a chance for 50 points, but made the right decision, Jackson said.
Forty-seven points, of course, is still 47 points and tied for the second most Curry has scored in a single game in his career.
"I don't know why people continue to be so amazed by it," Green said of Curry's performance, smiling. "I'm amazed when he doesn't do that. I'm used to seeing it. Nonetheless, it's still amazing."

HAGERSTOWN — Three men have been charged in connection with a string of burglaries and theft in Washington County, Md., according to the county sheriff's department.
One of the men, Devon Lee Frisby, 20, of 838 W. Washington St., Hagerstown, also has been identified by Hagerstown police as a suspect in the attempted armed robbery at 2nd Chance Bail Bonds on East Franklin Street in Hagerstown, last week. He is being held in Franklin County Jail.
The sheriff's department said Devon Frisby, along with Ashton Lee Frisby, 19, also of 838 W. Washington St., and William Koreem Becton Hardison, 21, of 308 1/2 Jonathan St. broke into homes and stole about $14,000 worth of jewelry, cash and electronics between Dec. 17 and 20.
They also are accused of stealing packages from three porches.
They face charges of burglary, theft, malicious destruction of property and conspiracy to commit burglary and theft.
The sheriff's office said Ashton Frisby also is in Franklin County Jail, but did not indicate if Hardison has been arrested.

A Quote by Robert Persig on vacation, motorcycle, car, car window, passive observer, and frame
You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.

I don't support the troops, America, and neither do you. I am tired of the ruse we are playing on these brave citizens in our armed forces. And guess what - a lot of these soldiers and sailors and airmen and Marines see right through the emptiness of those words, "I support the troops!," spoken by Americans with such false sincerity - false because our actions don't match our words. These young men and women sign up to risk their very lives to protect us - and this is what they get in return:1. They get sent off to wars that have NOTHING to do with defending America or saving our lives. They are used as pawns so the military-industrial complex can make billions of dollars and the rich here can expand their empire. By "supporting the troops," that means I'm supposed to shut up, don't ask questions, do nothing to stop the madness, and sit by and watch thousands of them die? Well, I've done an awful lot to try and end this. But the only way you can honestly say you support the troops is to work night and day to get them out of these hell holes they've been sent to. And what have I done this week to bring the troops home? Nothing. So if I say "I support the troops," don't believe me - I clearly don't because I've got more important things to do today, like return an iPhone that doesn't work and take my car in for a tune up.2. While the troops we claim to "support" are serving their country, bankers who say they too "support the troops," foreclose on the actual homes of these soldiers and evict their families while they are overseas! Have I gone and stood in front of the sheriff's deputy as he is throwing a military family out of their home? No. And there's your proof that I don't "support the troops," because if I did, I would organize mass sit-ins to block the doors of these homes. Instead, I'm having Chilean sea bass tonight.3. How many of you who say you "support the troops" have visited a VA hospital to bring aid and comfort to the sick and wounded? I haven't. How many of you have any clue what it's like to deal with the VA? I don't.4. Who amongst you big enthusiastic "supporters of the troops" can tell me the approximate number of service women who have been raped while in the military? Answer: 19,000 (mostly) female troops are raped or sexually assaulted every year by fellow American troops. What have you or I done to bring these criminals to justice? What's that you say - out of sight, out of mind? These women have suffered, and I've done nothing. So don't ever let me get away with telling you I "support the troops" because, sadly, I don't. And neither do you.5. Help a homeless vet today? How about yesterday? Last week? Last year? Ever? But I thought you "support the troops!"? The number of homeless veterans is staggering - on any given night, at least 60,000 veterans are sleeping on the streets of the country that proudly "supports the troops." This is disgraceful and shameful, isn't it? And it exposes all those "troop supporters" who always vote against social programs that would help these veterans. Tonight there will be at least 12,700 Iraq/Afghanistan veterans homeless and sleeping on the street. I've never lent a helping hand to one of the many vets I've seen sleeping on the street. I can't bear to look, and I walk past them very quickly. That's called not "supporting the troops," which, I guess, I don't - and neither do you.6. And you know, the beautiful thing about all this "support" you and I have been giving the troops - they feel this love and support so much, a record number of them are killing themselves every single week. In fact, there are now more soldiers killing themselves than soldiers being killed in combat (323 suicides in 2012 through November vs. about 210 combat deaths). Yes, you are more likely to die by your own hand in the United States military than by al Qaeda or the Taliban. And an estimated eighteen veterans kill themselves each day, or one in five of all U.S. suicides - though no one really knows because we don't bother to keep track. Now, that's what I call support!I don't "support the troops" or any of those other hollow and hypocritical platitudes uttered by Republicans and frightened Democrats. Here's what I do support: I support them coming home. I support them being treated well. I support peace, and I beg any young person reading this who's thinking of joining the armed forces to please reconsider.Our war department has done little to show you they won't recklessly put your young life in harm's way for a cause that has nothing to do with what you signed up for. Don't become the next statistic so General Electric can post another record profit - while paying no taxes - taxes that otherwise would be paying for the artificial leg that they've kept you waiting for months to receive.I support you, and will try to do more to be there for you. And the best way you can support me - and the ideals our country says it believes in - is to get out of the military as soon as you can and never look back.And please, next time some "supporter of the troops" says to you with that concerned look on their face, "I thank you for your service," you have my permission to punch their lights out (figuratively speaking, of course).Michael Moore is the Oscar and Emmy-winning director of "Roger & Me," "Bowling for Columbine," and "Fahrenheit 9/11," which also won the top prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and went on to become the highest grossing documentary of all time.

I do not think that it is an exaggeration to suggest that the Eddie Palmieri ensemble is artistically the most promising dance band now performing in the United States...Palmieri and the members of his orchestra have demonstrated, in the sophistication of their stylistic means, the power to shift the course of Afro-Latin music forever. - Robert Farris Thompson, Saturday Review, October 28, 1967.
...there's a tune that Eddie recorded, it's got a timbale solo. And when they get to the timbale solo and they go into this rhythm break introduction and Eddie starts to play the montuno behind the drum solo everything in my stomach just turned upside down. I mean, who wouldn't want to play his ass off if you had a piano player behind you putting a montuno down that way? Every note, it's like his fingers were reaching into the earth with every note, if you were a drummer you would have to reach down as deep as him. You wouldn't want to play on top of him because that would be weak, you'd have to be down there with him in the bowels of the earth. I didn't listen all that much to the drum solo, it was Eddie's support of the drum solo that kicked my ass, and he's always done that. All of his montunos, whenever he supported a drummer or anything, all of his montunos were down. And you could see him sittin' at the piano with the expression on his face like he's reaching as deep as he can into the depths of feeling and the bowels of the thing to give you that support. Oh, man, fantastic guy! - Ernest Philip Newsum, August 1998 conversation

An NBA source insisted to me Friday that the Warriors flat-out will not agree to any of the proposals Minnesota is currently suggesting in the Kevin Love discussions.
Not now, not in a day, not in 400 days.
The first stumbling block: The Warriors are making it clear to everyone in the league, including Minnesota president Flip Saunders, that they very much do not want to part with Klay Thompson, the key part of any Minnesota demand.
Second big stumbling block: The Warriors have zero desire to take back expensive, no-defense shooting guard Kevin Martin in the deal, the source said.
Note: David Lee has to be part of this deal and both sides have generally agreed to this in the informal talks. He's a productive offensive player and rebounder and Minnesota knows Lee's salary must be included to make any deal with the Warriors work.
I don't know if the Martin element is non-negotiable for either side (Minnesota insisting and/or the Warriors blanching), but it sounds like, at the very least, the Warriors would need more enticement (beyond Love) to consider taking Martin back.
That might be where the talk about the No. 13 overall pick plays into it.
Or hypothetically, Minnesota absorbing Marreese Speights or something like that.
But the combination of taking back Martin while moving Thompson ... that might be the true non-starter here for the Warriors, that shooting guard give-and-take.
If my source is anywhere close on this — and I believe he is — the Warriors won't even consider putting Thompson into any deal that includes them taking Martin, period.
You see, Martin has three years, $22.2 million left on his contract.
And also, he's not very good — one of the worst defensive players in the league and a scorer who doesn't do much of anything else offensively.
I know the PER-obsessives believe Martin is still quite good (he had a better PER than Thompson this season), but this is almost certainly not an accurate overall view of these two players' true value.
Actually, Martin is terrible and getting worse — if Minnesota moves on from him, it'd be the fourth team that did so, quite happily — and as he moves deeper into his 30s, this kind of zero-defense, all-shoot player typically takes a career nose-dive right about here.
A question for the PER-obsessives: Just because PER doesn't factor in defense, that means defense doesn't really matter? No. That would be the wrong way to look at this.
That's my opinion and that's apparently the opinion of several in the Warriors front office, especially at Martin's salary number.
I think PER is a great overall OFFENSIVE stat, but it's not the be-all, end-all, nor did my friend John Hollinger come up with it to be the be-all, end-all.
Anyway, the important thing is that the Warriors and Minnesota are dancing around each other's requests and desires and so far they don't have enough of a common ground ...
You can figure there are many other potential pieces either team might try to get, such as: Minnesota's No. 13 pick, the Warriors' 2015 first-round pick, Draymond Green, etc. ...
There are all sorts of different combinations. And nobody knows yet when Saunders will do this deal and what it'd take for him to do it ... and what the best offer will be at that point.
But for right now, whether you consider it posturing or just real ground-in stances, the Warriors and Timberwolves seem a bit stalemated, mostly on the Kevin Martin/Klay Thompson issue.
Yes, the Warriors are extremely reluctant to break up the Thompson/Stephen Curry back court, especially because of the defensive responsibilities Thompson carries and his relative youth (he's 24).
Also, I've heard that Steve Kerr absolutely wants to coach the Curry/Thompson backcourt ... he's a fan of getting Love, of course, but it's the idea of getting Love without giving up Thompson that really excites the Warriors' decision-makers. If that's possible.
What happens if the Warriors can't get Love?
There are a few three-point shooting power forwards that might interest Kerr. I could see the Warriors exploring what it'd take to land Phoenix's Channing Frye, who has a $6.8M player option for next season and has until Tuesday to exercise it ... or decide to become an unrestricted free agent.
Frye was a University of Arizona teammate of Andre Iguodala's and, like Iguodala, is represented by Rob Pelinka. The last time Frye switched teams, he signed with the Suns in July 2009 ... when their GM was Steve Kerr.
You give up your 2015 pick, you've locked yourself out of being able to maneuver in the draft for five years.
OK, that's the latest update. There will be many more.

I bought a bunch of them for my summer uniform - don't have to think. Just grab a pair and a t-shirt and I'm all set. Thank you for having just cotton! Hate synthetics! April 20, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Arline Denim Drawstring Pants I waited a long time to receive these pants and was a bit disappointed at first. Then I realized that they were the best weight for the spring and summer season! I'm glad I purchased them. March 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Oceanside Chick Comfy and well-fitting These pants are soft (for denim), fit well except the legs are a little long for me, and will certainly be my pants of choice the next time I need new jeans.

Express Workflows help automate this process for any given type of assets that are produced by your project(s). It allows you to easily assign approvers and define the flow of approvals from one approver to the next.
You can use Express Workflows to pre-define, automate and ensure that assets submitted or harvested into your OER projects go through as much or as less of an approval process as per your requirement - in a few, simple steps.
Download the OER 11g Express Workflows here - requirements and detailed instructions are available in the PDF bundled within the patch.

CHANTILLY, Va. (November 5, 2012)--Mitt Romney heads to Ohio and Pennsylvania on Election Day for a last-minute flurry of campaigning before the polls close, his campaign confirmed.
Romney will make stops Tuesday in Cleveland and Pittsburgh in a move that comes as somewhat of a surprise because Romney was scheduled to wrap his campaign with a late-night rally Monday in New Hampshire.
Romney and President Barack Obama are aggressively fighting to win Ohio where recent polls give Mr. Obama a narrow lead.
Romney began making a significant play for Pennsylvania last week.
The last time the state voted for a Republican presidential candidate was 1988.

Some Optimism From IPO Bankers: Half See Deals Rising
Half of bankers expect U.S. initial public offerings will increase in 2013 from 2012.
Most bankers are predicting a slight gain in this year's deal count, according to a survey by accounting and consulting firm BDO USA LLP.
Nearly one-third of those surveyed forecast flat activity, while 18% are foreseeing a decrease in 2013.
On average, the investment bankers forecast 136 deals valued at $34 billion in total IPO proceeds in 2013. That is less than the $41.4 billion raised in 2012, but more than the year's 130 deals, according to Dealogic.
Muted optimism for a rise in activity persists for the second straight year. Half of Wall Street investment bankers included in last year's survey also predicted a rise in IPO activity.
Bankers see a continuation in the trend for U.S. IPOs to remain relatively small in 2013, foreseeing an average size of $250 million, according to the telephone survey, which included 100 bankers who work at top firms in the U.S. That's smaller than the $318.4 million average in 2012.
Still, Facebook Inc.'s $16 billion May 2012 IPO skewed last year's figures. Absent this mammoth offering, which was the largest ever for an Internet company, just $25.4 billion was raised on U.S. exchanges, with an average deal size of just $196 million, according to Dealogic's tally.
There are no deals comparable in size to Facebook in the public pipeline this year so far, leading some to take the glass-is-half-full view of the survey results.
"You can't ignore Facebook, but I think it's fair to say that there are no mega deals in this year's pipeline," said Brian Eccleston, a partner BDO USA's capital markets practice. That bankers believe that "these thresholds can be achieved with lower-volume deals, it's a reasonably positive sign," Eccleston said. "Certainly, there seems to be some optimism."
Asked to identify the factor having the greatest impact on smaller deals in 2012, nearly half of the bankers said valuation pressures forced businesses to cut the prices of their flotations. Nearly one-third of respondents said that smaller deals were a result of smaller businesses pursuing IPOs.
Bankers are more optimistic than a year ago for the prospect of more IPOs in the health-care industry. Sixty-nine percent of surveyed bankers predicted an increase in offerings from the healthcare sector, versus 50% last year.
Real estate also saw a big jump in optimism, with 54% of participants predicting a continued increase in IPOs this year, versus just 35% a year ago.
Bankers mostly see fiscal stalemate and the threat of global political and financial instability as the most likely sources of market disruption. The survey was taken between Dec. 3 and Dec. 17, when policymakers were at loggerheads over the so-called fiscal cliff. Just 11% of bankers said that unemployment could derail the market; that's a marked difference from a year ago, when 49% of bankers said that continued lack of confidence in the U.S. economy was the IPO market's biggest threat.

The crash landing of a Boeing 777 at San Francisco airport threw California skies into chaos Saturday, diverting dozens of flights and forcing others to make dramatic U-turns back to Southern California. The chain reaction left airline passengers both grouchy and grateful up and down the West Coast.
Airlines scrambled throughout the day to find available runways at San Jose and Oakland international airports and as far away as Sacramento and Los Angeles to land their San Francisco-bound flights.
Airport officials in San Jose and Oakland expected operations to return to normal Sunday. But San Francisco airport officials were unsure whether all the airport's runways would be open.
San Jose welcomed 24 flights that had been diverted from SFO on Saturday and was expecting one more arrival Saturday night. Oakland accepted 11 diverted SFO flights.
On Sunday, airport officials with both airports said, it should be business as usual. But "the message will be to check with your carrier," said Brian Kidd, Oakland airport spokesman.
SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said late Saturday that two of the airport's four runways will remain closed until investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrive from Washington overnight and "go through their investigation process. We need to allow that to happen before we're able to open the other two runways, so that remains to be seen."
On Saturday, diverted passengers found it challenging to get home.
Jesse Sellars flew out of Seattle, where he had been vacationing, and was planning to catch a connecting United Airlines flight in San Francisco to get home to Colorado Springs, Colo. Instead, he found himself sitting on a baggage carousel in Oakland with a cellphone pressed against his ear. Sellars had been on hold for 20 minutes and still had no idea how he was going to get home.
"We were dumped here," he said. "United has no support here. They sent a dislocation team, but basically what they said is 'You're dislocated.' "
But Sellars, like untold other displaced airline passengers Saturday, put his dilemma into perspective.
"It's hard to complain about being inconvenienced given what's happened," he said.
Randy McCall and his wife, Laurie, and their two kids were on a United flight from San Diego to Seattle, with a connection at SFO, when the pilot came on the public-address system.
"We were just descending, and the pilot told us the field had been closed, and we were being diverted to San Jose," Randy McCall said. "Before we were even told by the pilot what had happened, passengers already knew because they had pulled out their smartphones. In fact, I remember the pilot telling us, 'In this day of technology, you may find out what happened before we do.' And he was right. Everybody pulled out their iPads, and we were watching it on CNN before we got to the gate."
As soon as they landed in San Jose, Randy McCall said, "Our next thought was, 'How are we gonna get out of here?' We're taking a cruise to Alaska tomorrow, so we have to be there."
Paul Walsh and his wife, Pam Huey, and their two sons were heading to SFO to catch a flight to Salt Lake City, en route to their home in Edina, Minn., a Minneapolis suburb, when they received a voice mail from Delta Air Lines saying their flight had been canceled. They were told to catch a flight from San Jose to Salt Lake City, which would get them to Minneapolis only three hours later than they had planned.
But their commuter plane developed pressure problems about 20 minutes into the flight, and was diverted to Fresno, where Walsh, Huey and their children were stuck Saturday night.
They had no hotel room and were counting on catching any flight to Salt Lake City.
Walsh said he wasn't thrilled with the prospect of spending the night in the Central Valley.
"This is my first time in Fresno," he said. "I've never been to Salt Lake, either, for that matter."
Avery Wilson, sporting natty dreadlocks at San Jose airport, identified himself as a member of the Wailers, Bob Marley's band, and said he had a gig Saturday night in San Rafael.
"My bandmates took an earlier flight and got in fine," Wilson said, after lowering his headphones. "I just hope I make it."
Natalie Alund, a reporter for this newspaper, was on a United flight from Los Angeles to SFO that was just about to land when the plane suddenly and violently jerked to the left.
A panicked-looking flight attendant told Alund that a plane had just crashed, and their flight was heading back to LAX. Once back on the ground, hundreds of confused San Francisco-bound passengers swarmed Los Angeles ticket agents and flight information terminals.
"Over the loudspeaker, they were saying, 'This flight's canceled, this flight's canceled, this flight's canceled,' " Alund said. "I then went to the board, and there were eight or nine flights from LAX to SFO. One after another, just like in the movies, they suddenly said, 'Canceled, canceled, canceled.' "
Alund had enjoyed the Fourth of July holiday with friends in Hollywood and planned to spend the night with them again Saturday. But Sunday morning, she planned to take United up on its offer of a free, first-class flight to SFO.

Share your experiences with the 5th Annual Reindeer Dash for Cash 10 Miler and 5K below Back to event details page.
This was my first time running this event. I thought it was well-organized and well-run. The support was great, especially the National Guard kids (I say kids because they looked so young - I guess I'm getting old!) The local police were pleasant and provided good route control. And best of all, it was for such a worthy cause. I had to travel to get there but I would be more than happy to run it again.
Great race! course is fast and flat and great support throughout! I will definitely run it again and the cause is worth it!
This was my second year running the Dash for Cash. Last year I did the 5k and this year I did the 10 miler. It's a one of a kind race for our area, well organized and executed. My favorite local race by far!
I definitely enjoyed the event. To call it a "race" would be mislabeling it for me as my time was not what I would call competitive. This was my first time running in the Reindeer Dash for Cash and I will be back. As a member of the National Guard, I was proud to support the cause and wish that more of our members would participate. The event was well-organized, the route was clearly marked, and there was plenty of support for the runners. The Greenville Police Department provided security and traffic diversion, there were members of the National Guard on hand at each intersection to keep vehicle traffic off the route, and there was an EMS response unit on-site to assist with any medical issues along the way. I was very impressed with the event.
Great race! Well marked. I did the 10 miler. All intersections were patroled and safe. The support crew was awesome at the start, throughout the race, and at the end. Waiting until 3:30 (2.5 hours after the race) was a bit long to see who won the door prizes. But worth since I did get a book I would pull this in by 45 minutes.
Great race! I did the 5k.. it was my first time in Greenville and I would love to go back in 2010. Nice community event, and a great cause. Very organized and patriotic!!
I have run in many races this year. I felt the most motivated and inspired due to the recognition given in remembrance of Captain Christopher Cash, and the other military personnel on hand. I happened to find this race online, and had no idea how much of an impact it would have on me emotionally and spiritually. I would like to thank all of our service members, and I intend to run 10 more miles next year. I thank all who participated and contributed to making this event successful. Thank You!
B. Doyle Bunn Midlothian, VA
I like to run races that support a local cause (a scholarship fund as this race was, not one of the usual "disease" races) and thought it was really cool they had a sister race run in Iraq. I hope they post photos here from the Iraq race!!!
This race was well organized, lots of volunteers, great that they had packet pick-up inside the community center, and a nice red shirt for Christmas! I ran the 5k and loved the loop course. The finish was just accross the bridge into the park, and they had the bridge decorated with flags and balloons - that was cool! Also, since I did the 5K, I was able to hang around and cheer on the 10-milers, in between bagel bites!, as they finished.
At the finish, they had lots of bagels, bananas, water and gatorade, plus subs from jersey mikes (suggestion: only get subs with whole wheat bread, please!)
I would recommend everyone mark their calendars to do this event next year.

DONORA ¢ A Donora man is in custody on charges he stabbed a man in the heart during an argument over the suspectÆs refusal to wear clothing in his residence in the presence of a child.
Borough police have charged James R. Tyree Sr., 61, of 938 McKean Ave., with aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment over the Sept. 8 stabbing of Lamont Dixon, court records show.
Dixon remains in UPMC- Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburgh, with complications from open-heart surgery he underwent following the 7:50 p.m. stabbing. He also suffered a punctured lung in the attack with an unknown type of sharp instrument, police stated in the affidavit.
DixonÆs wife, Natasha, told police he was stabbed at his motherÆs house after police were summoned that night to Mon Valley Hospital. He was later flown by medical helicopter to UPMC, the record shows.
She returned to the police station Monday, telling police she and her husband went to see Tyree the night of the stabbing to complain about his refusal to wear clothes.
Tyree appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and the Dixons decided to leave during the argument. Lamont Dixon fell against the wall while walking down stairs, and his wife thought he had been pushed by Tyree, police stated in the affidavit.
She turned to Tyree and said, ōAre you serious?ö after noticing blood running down her husbandÆs stomach.
ōThatÆs right. I stuck him,ö Tyree allegedly replied, according to her statements to police.
Tyree is in the Washington County jail on $25,000 bond set Thursday by District Judge Mark Wilson.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It was a busy day on the roads and in the skies as thousands flew out of Augusta Regional on Wednesday.
The airport is buzzing, nearly all flights sold out from Augusta Regional Airport. It's hard to miss the hundreds of soldiers, bags packed, ready to fly home.
"Home is Bridgewater, South Dakota. It's probably somewhere you've never been, never heard of, but it's home for me," said Army Private Brett Vondra.
"I'm very excited, we actually got here May 4th, so this is the first time home in about seven months," said Private Alexander Freeman from Queens, N.Y.
"Words cannot express how excited I am actually," said Richard Heinig from Wyoming.
They're all ready for a hot Thanksgiving meal, spending time with family and friends ... and some other things.
"What are you most looking forward to?" asked News 12's Katie Beasley.
"My Cadillac," replied Army Staff Sgt.Joshua Andre Estrada from Colorado Springs.
"Your Cadillac?" Beasley asked.
"Yes, the heated seats," he laughed.
"I actually have pizza waiting for me when I get off the plane," Freeman said.
"Pizza? Why pizza?" Beasley asked.
"Because, New York is famous for its pizza," Freeman said.
Retired Sgt. Clifford Hull watched the Fort Gordon soldiers with pride.
"It's nice to see them go home for the holidays. The United States needs their service," Hull said.
The Vietnam veteran remembers spending time in this very same airport.
"I flew out of here twice to Vietnam. Sad coming out, happy going back," he explained.
For these three soldiers, it's off to three different cities across the country.
"Hard to be away from friends and family, but we're doing what we're supposed to," Freeman said.
"It's good to know we're supported. It helps. It helps to know people back home are proud of what we're doing and the hardships we go through," Estrada said.
Now these men and women are off to catch long flights that somehow all lead back home.
"I'm so excited. I'm ready to be home, finally," Vondra said.
"Hi Mom, hi Dad. I'll see you guys eventually," Estrada said.

David Irving, Hitler and Holocaust Denial: Electronic Edition, by Richard J. EvansTable of Contents

|(E) The Systematic Killi... >
|(H) Manipulation of stat... >>
(D) The deliberate omission of evidence: Goebbels's diary entry of 22 November 1941
1. Irving manipulates a Goebbels diary entry describing a meeting with Hitler on 21 November 1941, the first time Goebbels had met Hitler since the publication of the article in Das Reich. Goebbels noted in his diary:
The Führer also completely agrees with my views with reference to the Jewish question. He wants an energetic policy against the Jews, which, however, does not cause us unnecessary difficulties. Evacuation of the Jews is to be undertaken city by city. So it is still uncertain when it is Berlin's turn; but when it is, the evacuation is then to be completed as quickly as possible. With reference to Jewish mixed marriages, the Führer recommended to me a somewhat more reserved procedure, above all in artistic circles, because he is of the opinion that these marriages will in any case gradually die out, and one should not allow any grey hair to grow on one's head over it.48
2. In his Goebbels biography, Irving does quote this diary entry, but he omits the crucial first sentence and the first half of the second sentence from the text ('He wants an energetic policy against the Jews') because it shows once more that Hitler thought about the 'Jewish Question' in the same way as Goebbels. Irving only prints the first sentence hidden in the endnotes, directly followed by his comment that Hitler was 'clearly' not in agreement with Goebbels.49 In his Pleadings, he argues that Goebbels inserted the line concerning Hitler's approval as an alibi 'for his own wrongdoing'.50
3. But what was the 'wrongdoing' in this case? Irving does not say. Certainly not Goebbels's article in Das Reich, which explicitly referred to Hitler's own prediction of 1939. Also, if Goebbels was so keen falsely to present Hitler as more radical an antisemite than he was, why then did he note down that Hitler wanted him to go easier on mixed marriages (the background here was the suicide of a well-known German actor, Joachim Gottschalk, who was married to a German Jew)?
4. As well as manipulating this diary entry by transposing a key point of it to an endnote, Irving also mistranslates. According to Goebbels's diary, Hitler, as we have seen, explained that he wanted to avoid causing 'us unnecessary difficulties' in pursuing an 'energetic policy against the Jews'. What he meant by 'unnecessary difficulties' was probably both the removal of Jews working in industries which were important for the war effort, and the printing of hostile reports about the evacuations in the foreign press.51 However, Irving omits the word 'energetic', and mistranslates 'unnecessary difficulties' as 'endless difficulties' thus removing the specific context and broadening the significance of what Hitler was saying beyond what the diary entry actually implies.
47. Irving, Goebbels, 383.
48. 'Auch bezüglich der Judenfrage stimmt der Führer völlig mit meinen Ansichten überein. Er will eine energische Politik gegen die Juden, die uns allerdings nicht unnötige Schwierigkeiten verursacht. Evakuierung der Juden soll stadtweise vorgenommen werden. Es ist also noch unbestimmt, wann Berlin an die Reihe kommt; aber wenn es an die Reihe kommt, dann soll die Evakuierung auch möglichst schnell zu Ende geführt werden. Bezüglich der jüdischen Mischehen, vor allem in Künstlerkreisen empfiehlt der Führer mir etwas reserviertes Vorgehen, da er der Meinung ist, daß diese Ehen sowieso nach und nach aussterben, und man sich darüber keine grauen Haare wachsen lassen soll'; cited in E. Fröhlich (ed.), Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels, Teil II, Vol. 2 (Munich, 1996), pp. 340-341, diary entry for 22.11.1941.
