Pharmacist and professor Philip D. Hansten has a long history of questioning conventional wisdom. As a student at Ceres High School many years ago he and fellow students questioned a "fact" doled out by coach Al Brenda. The coach asserted that his athletes should not hamper their athletic prowess at any competition by engaging in any sexual activity four days prior to. When Brenda walked away Hansten and his friends debated the matter before dismissing the notion as pure nonsense.

How do you guys find an open gym to shoot alone?
I never gym as I dont have the discpline.I usually prefer to take walks with my dogs. I also take the stairs instead of the lift. Recently I found an app which is really useful to track my fitness activity. I use the Android app for motivade http://bit.ly/121gefn
Most cities have a local gym or Liesure Centre where you can shoot around and play pick up indoors. You can check your town's website (just google it) for more information. If you can't find anything there should be some outdoor court where you could go to play. Hope you find one!
you dont even necessarily need an open gym. now of course that is generally a better facility to practice in but im still what i like to think of as a good player and i just work to develop my skills in my backyard
gyms are hard to come by. I still have trouble finding gyms whereever I go. Find outdoor courts and make them your second home. Shoot all the time, and dribble. That will take you further than waiting for a gym with a perfect floor and lighting. If you can dribble on a cracked court and shoot on a bent rim, you can play anywhere.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Dec. 21, 2012
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- "There's a lot of crazy drivers out there," said Rachel Niske, a daughter traveling home with her father.
If you think traffic is bad now, it's about to get worse.
"The kids got out of school today in several counties. In Aiken County and a couple of the others, so tomorrow morning everybody will get an early start, and roads will be heavy," said South Carolina Rest Stop Attendant Maria Medina.
The South Carolina rest stop saw about 200 people come through today, but they're expecting a lot more on Saturday.
"Five to six times that amount tomorrow, so you're looking at about a thousand people tomorrow who will come through," Medina said.
"I'm coming from Dublin, Ga. Picking up my mom and taking her back home for Christmas to my house in Winchester, Va.," said traveler Jim Horton.
A 12-hour drive with everyone else who had the same idea.
AAA expects 1.2 million South Carolina drivers will hit the road this year and 2.4 million will hit the road from Georgia.
With increased travelers comes increased danger.
"Coming down on Interstate 81 there was a tanker turned over. We were in traffic for about an hour and 15 minutes," Horton said.
Travel experts tell us traffic fatalities triple over the next week and a half.
Their advice? Watch your speed, be patient in traffic and be well rested before getting in the car.
"We just ask people to slow down, be careful, be respectful of one another and look out for each other," Medina said.
"A lot going on. A lot of people on the road that shouldn't be on the road," Horton said.
Many drivers say there's only one thing that makes battling the roads worth it.
"Family. Having family together," Horton said.
"Being Christmas, it's always about getting family together and sharing and making memories and talking and eating and the travel is just all part of it," father Glenn Niske said.
Here in the South, we don't get much winter weather, but if you're heading North, we're on your side with some advice:
- Make sure all your tires are properly inflated.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid a gas line freeze
- Avoid using your parking brake in cold, rainy, and snowy weather
- Never use cruise control when driving on a slippery surface, whether it's rain, ice or sand

How Do Your Genes "Interact" with the Environment?
This is a guest post by Alycia Halladay, Ph.D. Dr. Halladay is Autism Speaks' Director, Research for Enivronmental Services.
Instead of focusing on just genetics or just environmental factors, autism researchers have been studying gene-environment interactions as possible risk factors of the disorder. A next series of posts will begin to try and explain why this is an important concept, and how it is changing the way scientists think about causes.
Why is this concept important?
First, in the context of risk factors, if only the separate contributions of genetics and environmental influences is calculated without considering the interaction, the proportion of the disorder that is attributable to both is underestimated. For example, environmental factors may play an important role in the development of some diseases. However, in others, the effect is only seen in susceptible individuals. Studies that examine gene-environment interactions can do the following (taken from Hunter, 2005)
- Obtain a better estimate of the risk associated with genetic and environmental risk factors
- Strengthen the association between environmental risk factors and disease
- Help researchers understand the biological mechanism of disease
- Determine which environmental factors produce risk
- Lead to new prevention and therapeutic strategies
What does it mean?
As most people know, genetics typically refers to the stable sequence of nucleotides on DNA strands in every cell of the human body. The nucleotides are translated to amino acids, which in turn create proteins. The amino acid sequence determines how proteins are configured, which may affect their function. Put in an oversimplistic fashion, these proteins are what affect cell function. Some of the genetic code is inherited from both parents, and will be conferred to their children; another, more recently studied type of genetics, called epigenetics, refers to a change in protein synthesis that is not due to alterations in the DNA code. In other words, the DNA code stays the same but the way it is expressed changes. These concepts will also be discussed in a later chapter. With regards to the term "environment", this is a term that can refer to many "non-genetic" influences on biology and behavior. Typically when they hear "environment" people think of one of the hundreds of thousands of potential chemicals and toxins that are present in food, air and water. However, environment can also include some demographic characteristics like socioeconomic status, nutritional status and education, as well as medical procedures and illnesses, and exposure to vitamins, pharmaceuticals and/or alternative medicines. It can even refer to exposures that we may not be thinking about every day, like UV sunlight, cosmetics, food additives, and ventilation in the home. While most people think of gene-environment interactions as an environmental risk factor producing more profound effects in a susceptible individuals, some genes may offer protection against deleterious environmental effects. Other genes may promote healthy development and their effects stifled, or even enhanced, in different environments. These concepts will be explored further in a different chapter.
How are these interactions determined and studied?
The best way to determine whether an interaction exists in a human population is an epidemiologic study. One of the biggest challenges is the need for large samples, or many individuals to enroll and participate. Typically, self-report measures are obtained from all participants and family members, and DNA and other biologicals are included to study DNA/RNA and level of exposure. If other measures are available such as medical records, these are also collected throughout the study. Genetic and environmental factors, and their interaction, can be studied retrospectively (after the disease has developed) or prospectively (prior to when the disease appears). Each design has strengths and weaknesses, and in many cases both approaches are taken to identify and then replicate findings. Other study designs include case-control vs. case-case. Case-control refers to studying both individuals with and without the disease. Case-case refers to studying cases (in this case individuals with autism only) both with and without different exposure levels and/or genotypes.

The Missouri Public Service Commission has determined that certain Ameren Missouri power sales agreements with American Electric Power Operating Companies (AEP) and to Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (Wabash) should be considered as off-system sales and, therefore, those revenues should be flowed through the company's Fuel Adjustment Clause (FAC). As a result, the Commission has determined electric customers of Ameren Missouri should receive a $26.3 million refund to be applied in a future Ameren Missouri FAC filing. The Commission's vote was 3 to 1.
The Commission determined, based upon the evidence in the case, that Ameren Missouri should not have excluded revenues derived from the power sales agreements with AEP and Wabash from off-system sales revenue when calculating the rates charged under its fuel adjustment clause.
Ameren Missouri had contended that the power sales to AEP and Wabash did not fall under the definition of off-system sales under the FAC. Ameren Missouri further contended that these contracts were intended to replace the loss of power sales to its largest customer, Noranda Aluminum, due to the terrible ice storm that struck southeast Missouri on Jan. 27, 2009, disrupting Noranda's operations for an extended period of time.
This case was the second prudence review of costs subject to Ameren Missouri's fuel and purchased power adjustment clause. Such a review is required to take place at least every 18 months. In this case, the PSC staff reviewed for prudence, the costs and revenues associated with Ameren Missouri's FAC for the period of Oct. 1, 2009-May 31, 2011.
Based upon its review, the PSC staff had alleged that Ameren Missouri was imprudent for not including all costs and revenues associated with certain sales to AEP and Wabash in determining the associated FAC charges that are billed to its customers. The PSC Staff took the same position in its first prudence review which covered the period of March 1-Sept. 30, 2009. In that case, the Commission determined Ameren Missouri should refund approximately $17.1 million to customers.
Ameren Missouri provides electric service to approximately 1.2 million customers in Missouri.

Greetings. I have been running with my Vibram Five Fingers for about 3 years. I enjoy trail running and would like to do more of it but the terrain is too painful with my Vibram shoes. I don't know what to do as I will not wear sneakers anymore. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Tough one there...all I would suggest is decrease your distance until you can find a distance you're comfortable with, or look for another trail with different soil type/terrain features that might be easier on your feet.

It seems to me that sometimes the circumstances demand certain equipment. Rather than passing up a challenging trail, I would get myself a good pair of trail running shoes.
There are more 'minimalist' shoe styles available these days that are similar to your VFF's. Some of them might have thicker or harder soles which would help. Otherwise you'll be like those Mexican indian tribes who make running sandals out of tire treads.
What is it you like about the Vibrams? 0 drop? Toe Splay? There are some new shoes on the market that offer those features and with just enough protection to keep your feet from getting bruised.
I have worn the Merrill Trail Glove and like those a lot. I'm excited to try the new New Balance MT110. Lately I've been running easy trails in huarache sandals. Luna Sandals has some options with thicker soles and a leather footbed that I have heard offer all the protection you need, at least to the soles of your feet.
The sacrifice is probably a reduced ground feel. If you want to run technical trails, you will probably have to make a tough choice between ground feel and comfort. I think your options are stick to less technical trails, get used to bruised feet, or consider moving into a minimalist trail shoe.

I've been running increasingly technical trails here in SE PA for the last year in my Bikilas. I'm up to 15K races and pretty happy with the whole deal. For me it's just a matter of watching the trail in front of me like a hawk and stepping very carefully. I've reached the point where I can more or less let loose and fly down hills. That's the fun! Any idiot can go clomping along with big old barges on their feet. (No offense intended to those of you in the vast majority out there still using those things.) I'm not wicked fast, nor do I think I ever will be. My last race on Feb. 26 (the Ugly Mudder in Reading, PA) I was 210th of 882. Still, not shabby. I have gotten the occasional bruise on the instep, but I sort of imagine that conventionally shod runners don't come through entirely unscathed either.
Check out the alternate Min shoes like Trail Gloves, if you think it will improve your running experience. Sure! Why not? Just remember, it might be more important to focus more on your form and how you are running the races.
Good luck and run well!

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball program started its annual fall world series on Thursday afternoon, with the Blue Team taking a 3-1 final over the Green Team. Game two is set for 5:30 PM on Friday evening at Chapman Field.
The Blue Team (1-0) got on the board early and held it throughout due to a strong performance by starting pitcher Tyler Schnuriger, who went 5.1 innings and gave up just three hits and no runs while striking out six and walking four. The Green Team (0-1) also got a strong performance from their starting pitcher as Adam Hoelscher went 6.0 innings while giving up three hits and one run on six strikeouts and one walk.
Offensively, the Blue Team totaled eight hits and three runs. David Tittle led the way with a 3-for-4 performance, picking up two singles and a double with an RBI. Jonathan Gonzales was 2-for-4 with an RBI while Brad Porras, Stafford Brantley and Russell Vaughan each picked up one hit in the contest.
Jordan Lee led the Green Team with three of the seven hits on the night, while Eric Weiss, Zacarias Hardy, Nick Lerick and Clayton Davis had one apiece.
The Blue Team got on the board first in the second inning, as Brantley reached on a hit-by-pitch, stole second and came around to score on a Tittle RBI single to make it a 1-0 game.
The score held until the top of the seventh when Porras started the inning off with a single and was followed by a Brantley walk to put runners on first and second. Porras was picked off at second base. Tittle followed with a single and advanced to second while Brantley was thrown out trying to go from first to third on the play. O'Shea Dumes came on to pinch hit and brought in a run with a hard hit ball through the left side on an error by the third baseman t make it a 2-0 lead.
The Blue Team added to the lead in the very next inning to make it a three-run advantage. Vaughan opened the inning with a single but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double for the first out. After another quick out, the Blue Team started the rally when Brandon Tierney reached on an error, advanced to second on a wild pitch and came around to score on a Gonzales single to left center for the 3-0 lead.
The Green Team mounted a rally in the bottom of the ninth, picking up a run and threatening for more before Dalton D'Spain finished off the game for a save. Davis picked up an infield single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Jakob Silva walked while Davis once again advanced on a wild pitch to put runners on the corners.
That is when D'Spain came in to close it out. Silva was caught stealing for the first out, and Cody Stephens picked up an RBI groundout for out number two while Davis scored to make it 3-1. After Lee followed with his third hit of the game to try to extend the rally, D'Spain picked up a strikeout looking to end the game.
The two teams will meet again on Friday evening, with first pitch set for 5:30 PM at Chapman Field. Trevor Foss will be on the mound for the Blue Team, while Franco Pace will get the nod for the Green Team.
Updates for the game on Friday and Saturday will be available by following assistant coach Chris Ramirez' Twitter (@CoachRamirez7), while complete stats after the games can be found on www.GoIslanders.com.

In case there was any doubt that celebrities live on their own planet, Lauryn Hill made it perfectly clear (again) on Monday.
The former Fugees singer and briefly-but-wildly successful solo artist in the 1990s has been off the map for a while. But that didn't stop her from going all celebrity on a judge after she was sentenced Monday to three months in prison for three years worth of tax evasion.
"I was put into a system I didn't know the nature of ... I'm a child of former slaves," said the mother of six. "I got into an economic paradigm and had that imposed on me."
"I sold 50 million units ... now I'm up here paying a tax debt," she told the court. "If that's not likened to slavery, I don't know what is."
In a few short moments, Hill probably managed to insult a lot of people, including fellow musicians (they don't know they're supposed to pay taxes?), possibly her parents, (one of whom was reportedly a schoolteacher and the other a computer programmer), and the public at large (taxes are "imposed" on all of us, and most of us haven't made a fraction of the money that Lauryn Hill has).
Her statement referred to the record business and how she supposedly struggled to pay taxes while other people got rich off her. Right. That's the record business. A musician fights that by making good music, negotiating better deals with their increased leverage and touring. Hill, once one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters going, hasn't done many of these things the past decade or so.
Yet, as a celebrity who has earned a truck load of awards and millions of dollars, she's been subjected to "slavery."
I read that and immediately wondered what all the people who actually are slaves, in one form or another, around the world, would say about Hill's definition of "slavery." I wondered how people working multiple jobs to feed their kids would react.
Then I thought, "Oh well, she's a celebrity. Aren't they supposed to act like spoiled brats when they don't get their way?"
It happens all the time. Both Prince and Michael Jackson pulled the "slavery" card when they didn't get what they wanted from record companies. An intoxicated Reese Witherspoon went off on a cop last month when her husband was getting a DUI, culminating with the old "Don't you know who I am and what I can do to you?" tactic (at least she promptly apologized). Rihanna tried the same thing last year in a London club, when she was almost tossed out for jumping on a table and reportedly smashing glasses.
Tara Reid -- right, Tara Reid -- recently stomped out of a store when she was denied a "celebrity" discount.
Even celebrity moms try the "Do you know who I am?" tactic. NBA star LeBron James' mom reportedly pulled the line during a 2011 dispute with a parking attendant. Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina supposedly tried it in 2009 when a Hollywood club wouldn't let her bring her then 15-year-old daughter Ali inside.
Did they ever think that yes, people do know who they are ... and that's their problem?
No, of course not. The rules on their planet are different from on ours.

Our Natural State
According to Ayurveda, our natural state
is one of health, happiness and an inner sense of well-being.
Health is defined as the body being clear of toxins, the mind
is at peace, emotions are calm and happy, wastes are efficiently
eliminated and organs are functioning normally. In a busy,
stressful and toxic world, our physical and mental systems
accumulate toxins causing deterioration in bodily functioning.
This eventually weakens our systems, which opens the door
for chronic, degenerative, and non-specific diseases to develop.
These can evolve into serious specific diseases, ultimately
damaging an individuals health and wellness.
Panchakarma can help by reversing these
negative effects of daily living. It can restore your natural
state of health and wellness by cleansing your body of toxins,
bringing balance into your system and improving bodily function.
It can also help you sustain this process by making positive
changes in lifestyle.
The Panchakarma therapeutic process appears

HONESDALE - The Honesdale National Bank has again been ranked in the top 15th percentile of all Community Banks by Seifried & Brew LLC, a community bank risk management firm.
The Honesdale based institution was recently awarded the highest ratings by two other independent groups. Both bankrate.com© and Bauer Financial have posted 5 Star Ratings for HNB covering the quarters ending Sept. 30 and Dec. 31 in 2012.
Bauer Financial and bankrate.com© report on and analyze the performance of U.S. banks and credit unions. Each quarter their independent "Star" ratings are developed by
analyzing the raw data from the Call Reports supplied by all banks to government regulators,
supplemented with historical and other data.
HNB is the only regionally headquartered bank attaining these ratings from these agencies for the last two quarters in 2012.
The bank has demonstrated exemplary financial performance, which may be even more remarkable considering these results were accomplished in a sluggish economy while dealing with increased regulatory burdens and costs.
Since its establishment in 1836, The Honesdale National Bank has prospered, paying a dividend each and every year, and along with these financial accolades holds the distinction of
being the area's oldest independent community bank headquartered in Northeastern Pennsylvania, with offices in Wayne, Pike, Susquehanna, Lackawanna and Luzerne counties.

The money shots come late in "Chasing Ice," a documentary about the pioneering glacier photography of James Balog.
For more than an hour, we've followed him around Iceland, Greenland and Alaska as he and his assistants set up cameras facing the great ice sheets, programming them to snap photos at regular intervals. Finally, we get the big reveal: The images are arranged as time-lapse sequences in which glaciers melt away like so much butter over the course of a year.
As much as one can intellectually believe in climate change, to see it actually happening has the power to stun a viewer into wordlessness.
The rest of Jeff Orlowski's film works hard to build up its subject as an obsessive craftsman saint, and that feels vaguely beside the point. Ultimately, it's the pictures that matter -- not the man who takes them.
Orlowski shares Balog's smoldering rage at a society that refuses to face the consequences of its actions, and that rage forms the necessary spine of "Chasing Ice." This is an agit-doc with no apologies and a lot of sorrow.
Early on, "An Inconvenient Truth"-style charts show us a millennia-long dance of carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures, rising and falling in lockstep; in the past 50 years, the CO2 soars off the charts. But numbers mean little next to Balog's photos and Orlowski's video footage, which between them balance on a fulcrum between beauty and distress.
Unceasing meltwater cuts channels through the ice sheets before vanishing down abysses like liquid down a bottomless drain. Cryoconite holes -- small round thaws created by soot blowing in from thousands of miles away -- riddle the glaciers with gorgeous pockmarks. Balog's assistants videotape the calving of an unimaginably huge section of glacier into the sea; it's as if Earth is vomiting.
To go from such images to Balog shedding tears over a malfunctioning camera or impatiently undergoing a third knee operation before heading back into the field on crutches is to jolt from the macro to the micro, from the planetary to the personal.
Because "Chasing Ice" is so effective at showing us the really big picture, these smaller moments seem oddly inconsequential (as does a dopey duet by "singer"-actress Scarlett Johansson and violinist Joshua Bell over the end credits). No, it's not fair, but when an artist opens his lens this wide and this successfully, we can't help but be more interested in what he sees than in who he is.
What Balog sees (and what Orlowski sees him seeing) is an epochal climatological change that is hastening toward the tipping point, if it hasn't already gone beyond. These photographs function as both proof and relic -- a record of a landscape's memory.
Behind the images lie an abiding scorn for those who are unwilling to recognize what's happening and a lucid dread about where we're probably heading. If that depresses you, I'm sure there's something entertaining on TV.

I am currently running windows7 64bit. I installed ps3mediaserver. The ps3
is connected via a cable and not wireless.
The PS3 detects ps3ms and vice versa. I can then browse the subfolders in
the drive i chose in the ps3ms settings.
When i click a folder, there is no files, just a folder called #__Transcode__#
When i click that folder, then it shows a list of the files.
Ok..so this must indicate that these files will be transcoded.
But the files are not recognized as files but as folders too. SO when i
click an episode xyz.mkv or xyz.avi, it then shows "There are no images"
What am i doing wrong?

Imagine the government coming after you for an unpaid debt that's more than 30 years old.
A Hutchinson man says that's exactly what happened to him. And the IRS took the money out of his 2013 tax refund.
At first, Paul Mattox says he thought it was a bad joke. The tax refund he was counting on to pay bills was slashed by nearly 60 percent.
He went from an expected refund of just more than $2,000 to an actual refund of less than $860. And he had no idea why.
"I'm really truly baffled - and a little pissed - that the government can do this," Mattox told the FactFinder 12 Investigators.
After a bunch of calls, Mattox says he learned the Social Security Administration was collecting on an overpayment from at least 34 years ago - from when he was a child and received his father's death benefits.
The Investigators called and emailed the IRS and the US Treasury Department looking for answers. The agencies wouldn't talk about Paul Mattox's case specifically, but here's what we found out:
The IRS is authorized to collect debts on behalf of government agencies, including the Social Security Administration. It's called the treasury off-set program.
Once a debt is certified, the IRS can deduct your refund by the amount owed. The agency is required to notify you in writing. Mattox says that didn't happen in his case.
How far back can they go? There used to be a 10 year statute of limitations on these debts. But the Investigators found out the government changed that back in 2008.
It's tucked away on page 560 of a 629 page farm bill. A small provision that reads: elimination of statute of limitations on collection of debt. Those few words allow the government to go as far back as it wants to see if you owe money.
"Is this how the government does it?" Mattox asks. "They come in in the middle of the night and poof - they're gone?"
Mattox can fill out a form to try and get his money back, but says he's reluctant to give the government all the personal information it's asking for.
Who knows what else it might find?

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team had its Friday night game against the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks postponed until Saturday, April 21, when it will be made up as part of a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.
Due to the high winds in the area, the tarp on Chapman Field was partially blown off the covered area and saturated the first and second base areas of the dirt infield. Due to the heavy rains, the Islanders decided to push the start of the doubleheader to a 4 p.m. first pitch to give the field extra time to dry out.
Both games are scheduled to be played to completion on Saturday, with the second starting about 30 minutes after the end of the first game.
Live stats and video will be available by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

The Jibboo > Gin segue reminds me of the Tweezer > Boogie On pairing from Telluride that folks inexplicably bitched about; Trey and Mike are really on top of the segues here. Gin is uplifting, but honestly, when was the last bad Gin? Twist and Hood are great, with a particularly satisfying return to the lyrics (and some Passion Pit-style 'woo!!') in the former tune and an extraordinary, elegant, all-too-brief minor-key interlude in Hood.
The biggest surprise in a surprise-filled set is the Split > Boy. Split pretty much falls apart after nine minutes or so, and the boys simply abandon the song's off-kilter time signature for an evil, martial 4/4. Fishman starts playing some tricks on the drums, for a second Trey and Page sound like 'Kid A'-era Radiohead, the whole thing dissolves into creepy ambient space, and in an echt-Phish moment, out of the mist emerges...the misanthropic love song from 'Hoist.' It's pretty cool.
The encore is exactly what it looks like.
Sorry this isn't a more critical/analytical review - for some reason, all I can do is recommend this one as a great time. 8/12/10 isn't gonna top any 'Best of' lists, I'm guessing, but it's the kind of show any other band would kill to play, and it's plenty of odd twists'n'turns to offer the diehards. Anyone who made the trip to Indiana for this one has gotta be feeling pretty good about her choice.

ANTIOCH -- Citing the need to help its police department entice veteran officers to a city battling a crime surge, the City Council voted this week to reinstate pension benefits it scaled back earlier in the year.
Antioch will change its contract with the state's Public Employees' Retirement System to a "3 percent at 50" formula for veteran public safety hires and "2.7 percent at 55" for veteran employees hired for other city jobs.
"I'm very pleased. This gives us an additional tool in trying to recruit officers around the state and makes (the department) more attractive," police Chief Allan Cantando said.
Antioch is looking to fill about 25 to 30 sworn officer vacancies in the next 18 months with a blend of veteran and rookie hires. City leaders Thursday set a cap of five veteran officers to be hired over that time.
The move will cost Antioch an additional $4,500 for each hired veteran officer and $23,670 total for all other city employees each year.
Cantando lobbied for the pension change last month, saying the recruiting efforts of the Antioch police have been hindered by the current pension rules.
"(The formula change) puts us on a level playing field," he said.
Concord, Richmond, San Pablo and Vallejo are among the East Bay cities that use the 3 percent at 50 retirement formula for sworn police staff. Brentwood, Pittsburg and Walnut Creek use the 3 percent at 55 formula.
The "3 percent at 50" pension calculation means police are entitled to retire starting at age 50 with 3 percent of their final year of pay multiplied by years of service. Antioch switched its contract with its police union earlier this year to a "3 percent at 55" formula, including calculating an average of the highest three years of pay, which is usually less than the former calculation.
The three-year average calculation remains with Thursday's decision.
Mayor Wade Harper said the council was not trying to undo all the savings from employee concessions. "We are facing a crisis here, an unintended consequence, when it comes to hiring police officers," Harper said. "We need to get those boots on the streets."
After Antioch made the "3 percent at 55" switch, Gov. Jerry Brown signed new statewide laws that further reduced benefit levels.
Under a new state law, future lateral hires will earn pension benefits under the formula in effect at the end of this year, while the retirement formula cap for rookie government hires after Jan. 1 will be 2.7 percent at age 57 for public safety and 2.5 percent at age 67 for other employees.
The council voted 4-1 in favor of the change. Gary Agopian cast the lone dissenting vote.
Agopian said he's gone back and forth on the item since it was brought up last month, noting Antioch has hired 21 nonsafety employees since 2007, with eight coming from other municipalities without the added incentive.
"At the end of the day, we don't know if this is the best way to go," he said.
Given the council's desire, capping the number of veteran police hires at five was "tight and appropriate," Agopian said.
According to CalPERS data, Antioch will pay $27,556 annually per lateral officer in retirement costs, compared with $23,054 under the "3 percent at 55" formula.
Lateral hires cost $32,457 each in retirement under Antioch's old "3 percent at 50" formula.
"We're still realizing a savings; it's just not as great," said Michelle Fitzer, the city's human resources director.
Cantando hopes to start advertising the new pension formula in public safety trade publications early next year. It would take four to six months to get candidates through the interview process and onto the street, he said.

I currently use PS3 Media Server to stream movies to my PS3 and my Xbox360..
I use DVD Fab Decryptor to rip the DVD to my hard drive
I then use HandBrake and I re-encode the video to MP4/MPV format with AC3 passthru.
On my PS3, no problems. Fast foward, and rewind work just fine.
On my 360 however, I can only play and pause. Cannot fast forward or rewind. I think this is more of an issue with the way the 360 handles MP4/MPV files...but would like some confirmation from others who might have experienced the same thing.
My PS3 is my player of choice, but the darn Cinavia copy protection causes me some problems on some movies from time to time. So, I'd like to use my 360...but not being able to fast forward 20 minutes into the movie is very limiting.

SANTA CLARA -- You can almost hear a testy Pete Carroll asking Jim Harbaugh once again: "What's your deal?"
Shortly after Carroll's Seattle Seahawks traded for Percy Harvin from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, Harbaugh's 49ers dealt for their own playmaking receiver in Anquan Boldin from the Baltimore Ravens.
Yes, that's the same Anquan Boldin who helped spark the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl win over the 49ers last month. His price tag: a mere sixth-round draft pick next month.
"If that becomes official, he is a great asset, he's a great player and he's another great weapon for this team," 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick said on ESPN's "SportsCenter."
Trades can't become official until 1 p.m. Tuesday, and that goes for the 49ers' long-prescribed deal sending quarterback Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Boldin's trade is contingent on his passing a physical, and he arrived in Senegal on Monday for a three-day relief effort with Oxfam America.
Free agency also commences Tuesday, and if All-Pro safety Dashon Goldson bolts for richer pastures, the 49ers might vie for one of Boldin's former Ravens teammates, Ed Reed.
Boldin comes with a $6 million salary, an amount the Ravens were so unwilling to pay that they nearly released him Friday, according to the Baltimore Sun, the outlet that first reported Boldin's pending trade.
Boldin, 32, made a 13-yard touchdown catch to give the Ravens a 7-0 lead in the Super Bowl, and he finished with six receptions for 104 yards. Boldin played his first seven seasons with NFC West-rival Arizona before being traded to Baltimore in March 2010 for three draft picks.
"Everybody saw what he was capable of this past year and what he did in the Super Bowl," Kaepernick said on ESPN. "That's just another playmaker on our team. ... We'll be happy to take him."
In an NFL Network interview, 49ers cornerback Tarell Brown also spoke highly of Boldin.
"(He is) a guy that can play inside and outside, makes big catches -- you saw what he did in the Super Bowl as well -- a physical guy, a guy who competes on every down, every play," Brown said. "So it will be a great addition to our team."
The 49ers had good reason to bolster their receiving corps and complement No. 1 target Michael Crabtree. Randy Moss is heading for free agency after his one-year stint, and Mario Manningham and Kyle Williams are coming off late-season knee injuries.
The Ravens reportedly wanted Boldin to take a $2 million pay cut. He previously balked at the notion of leaving Baltimore.
Shortly after the Super Bowl, he told NBC Sports' "Pro Football Talk" that "I'll retire a Raven, I'm not putting on any other uniform." He recently backed off that stance and told USA Today on Saturday: "If things don't work out there, I'll sit with my family, we'll talk it over, pray about it and see what God is asking me to do."
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco expressed disappointment over losing a reliable target.
"Anquan was a great receiver for myself and for our football team," Flacco said. "It's sad to see a guy like that go. ... Anquan was a big part of this football team, a big part of this offense."
It's unknown which of the 49ers' sixth-round draft picks -- No. 12 in the round via a 2012 trade with Miami, or No. 31 in the round -- Baltimore will acquire.
Boldin has faced the 49ers more than any other opponent in his career, totaling 84 regular-season receptions for 1,053 yards and seven touchdowns. Aside from his Super Bowl touchdown, he made a 30-yard catch against Chris Culliver late in the third quarter to set up a field goal and stall a 49ers comeback.
Now Boldin will join a 49ers team that is vying for a third straight NFC West title, a task potentially made tougher by the Seahawks' addition of Harvin, who cost them three draft picks, including a first-rounder. Harbaugh owns a 3-1 record against Carroll in the NFL, and their rivalry dates back to their Stanford-USC days that included a tense postgame exchange in which Carroll wondered about Harbaugh's "deal."
The 49ers now must strengthen their most valuable asset: their defense. Depth is needed on the front line, and upgrades are being scouted for a secondary that might lose Goldson.
With nose tackles Isaac Sopoaga and Ricky Jean Francois slated to become free agents, the 49ers on Monday signed reserve Ian Williams to a two-year, $3.2 million extension. An undrafted free agent two years ago out of Notre Dame, Williams is guaranteed to earn at least $2 million, a league source confirmed.
Special teams won't be ignored in free agency. Coordinator Brad Seely's former ties with the Cleveland Browns could come into play if the 49ers pursue two of the Browns' top free agents: kicker Phil Dawson and return specialist/wide receiver Joshua Cribbs.
The 49ers are among a handful of teams who've looked into adding kicker Lawrence Tynes, formerly of the New York Giants, a league source said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

James Tanner of Genealogy's Star blog makes me think. A recent blog entry asks what makes a genealogical community. One of the criteria he suggests is "shared values and interest."
That leads to this question: what are the shared values and interest of the Wood County Genealogical Society both from local members and those who live a distance away in Texas or in other states?
Please share your ideas in the comments below (and be sure to sign up for emails when new comments are posted or comeback here often to see and respond to comments).

Sharing a bond as the first wave of black players in the major leagues, Dodgers trailblazers like Don Newcombe and Roy Campanella often set aside their on-field rivalry to have dinner with Giants pioneers like Monte Irvin, Hank Thompson and Willie Mays.
Newcombe called the group "the best of friends" and said they dined together often.
Did Jackie Robinson go, too?
"Oh, no, Jackie would go home. He never cared about socializing with carousers like we were. ... Jackie didn't drink, didn't smoke and as a result he'd go home to his beautiful family and have dinner with them and enjoy them.
"He was a very strong family man. I want you to believe that. And don't you forget that."
Don't you forget that. It's a phrase Newcombe used more than once during a wide-ranging phone conversation in advance of "42," the Hollywood biopic opening Friday starring Chadwick Boseman as Robinson and Harrison Ford as Dodgers executive Branch Rickey.
The film traces Robinson's journey from the Negro Leagues to his breaking of baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Newcombe, who debuted two years later and would become the first black pitcher to start a World Series game, still refers to his Dodgers roommate as "my idol."
Now, the former pitcher is doing interviews to help promote the film. He wants everyone to see it -- even Giants fans.
"Whenever I talk about Jackie, if I go out and give a speech somewhere, I'll stand up on the stage and I cry about some of the things that people tried to do to us because we wanted to play baseball like any other American,'' Newcombe said.
"I'm glad that Jackie was the man to tear those walls down, along with Branch Rickey."
Newcombe said he will leave it to movie fans to decide whether or not they like "42." He's in no rush to replace the late film critic Roger Ebert. But the man who won 1956 MVP and Cy Young awards is here to attest that the filmmakers got the casting right, starting with Boseman in the lead role.
"I congratulated him this morning when I met him for the first time. What a fine-looking young man he is and how well he represented Jackie Robinson,'' Newcombe said. "I told him, 'You are representing my idol.'
"And Harrison Ford, the way he represented Branch Rickey, they made him so close to Branch Rickey facially that I thought it was him. I said, 'That's Mr. Rickey!' With that the one eye of mine, I had to look again to make sure it wasn't him."
The movie's villain is Ben Chapman (Alan Tudyk), the Philadelphia Phillies manager who torments Robinson with a torrent of racial epithets. (This is Newcombe's only factual quibble: While the manager did unleash verbal abuse at Robinson, "I don't think Ben Chapman called Jackie the N-word as many times as he did in the film." Newcombe said the commissioner would have suspended Chapman.)
Because the film ends with the 1947 regular season, Robinson's complicated, occasionally antagonistic relationship with the Giants will have to wait for a sequel. The only scene involving the storied rivals revolves around Robinson's first career home run, at the Polo Grounds.
At the end of his career, the Dodgers actually arranged to trade Robinson to the Giants. But unbeknownst to both teams, Robinson had decided to retire from baseball. Robinson wrote a letter to Giants owner Horace Stoneham, saying: "I assure you that my retirement has nothing to do with my trade to your organization. ... Again my thanks and continued success for you and the New York Giants."
But Newcombe recalled some bad blood during the '55 season, when Robinson, hustling for a bunt single, crashed into a second baseman named Davey Williams and broke his ribs. "It's like running into a steam-engine if you run into Jackie Robinson on a base," Newcombe said.
Alvin Dark, the Giants shortstop, sought revenge. And when he later smashed a double to left field, he refused to stop -- he wanted to blast Robinson, who was playing third base.
The story goes that Robinson saw what was coming and dropped the ball only because he was trying to smash a tag into Dark's head. "There was no way he was going to get Jackie Robinson," Newcombe said. "Jackie was too smart for him. But (Dark) tried."
Robinson and the Giants were also at odds during the memorable '51 pennant chase. The late Bill Rigney, who played for the Giants that season, once told The Mercury News that when Brooklyn swept the Giants to go 131/2 games up in August, Robinson made a point of taunting manager Leo Durocher.
"At the Brooklyn ballpark, the two clubhouses were very close together," Rigney said, "and Jackie had opened their door and he's beating on our door with a bat saying Leo -- he hated Leo -- 'How do you like it? How do you guys like it? I can smell Laraine's perfume, Leo. How do you like it?'"
But Rigney also said that when the Giants won the pennant that season, on Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World,'' a handful of Dodgers, including Robinson, entered the Giants clubhouse to offer their congratulations.
That version of Robinson -- the class act -- is the one that Newcombe wants a new generation of fans to get to know by seeing "42."
"Let me ask you a question now: Did you ever read anywhere where there was some problem about Jackie Robinson and some of the things he did off the field?" Newcombe said.
"Never once. OK. Now that answers the whole question. Anybody who has anything on their mind, tell them Don Newcombe wants you to show him where Jackie Robinson was embarrassing to his family and to baseball -- and especially to Branch Rickey, a God-fearing man -- because of his actions off the field."

Eight of Truckee's defensive players turned in personal-best performances last Saturday against the visiting Fernley Vaqueros in a Maverick Division Sierra Youth Football League matchup.
The 7- and 8-year-old Wolverines had six players in three tackles and five in three others. After several collisions behind the line of scrimmage, some of their white helmets showed black and orange scuff marks, the color of their counterpart's helmets.
On two of those collisions, the Vaqueros put the ball on the ground and Truckee's leading tackler for the game, defensive tackle Colton Conklin, dove inches short from recovering a much-needed turnover.
The Vaqueros overcame all the Wolverines' best efforts and shut out Truckee 38-0 behind their own blitzing-style defense that stifled Truckee's offense with five sacks and several tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
The best defensive player for the Wolverines was Conklin and his 13 tackles, which represented a best total for the season. Following Conklin with a personal best of his own was defensive tackle Matthew Seline. His game total of 11 tackles still lofts him as the Wolverines' leading tackler on the season. Linebacker Jacob Moule more than tripled his previous best performance with 10 tackles. Four of his stops were behind the line of scrimmage.
Safety Hunter Hansell was audibly the biggest hitter on the field as one of his hits could be heard from over 50 yards away. He turned in his personal best nine tackles.
Defensive end Carsen Jensen and linebacker Jackson Kahl one-upped their previous personal best in the last game with eight tackles. Half of Jensen's tackles were behind the line and Kahl lead the team with two solo tackles.
Cornerback Tavin Hamilton took advantage of his first opportunity on defense and tallied three tackles with one behind the line and another a solo tackle. Hamilton is usually kept out of defensive duties to help preserve him for his quarterback role.
Nose tackle Aidan Anderson matched his personal best with two tackles on the day.
Defensive ends Hutton Johnson and Jason Roth did not turn in personal-best performances but contributed with four tackles each. Cornerback Ryland Morrison chipped in two tackles. Linebacker Mitchell Mueller and cornerback Damon Parisi each had a tackle.
Parisi also contributed on offense as a running back with two carries into the second level of the Vaqueros defense. He took a handoff up field for 5 yards and a quick pitch for 6.
Quarterback Hamilton led Truckee with 18 yards on three carries. Hamilton had the longest run of the day for the Wolverines as he took a quarterback keeper around the right side for an 8-yard gain. He also completed his only pass attempt for 2 yards.
Hamilton was pressured all day but did manage to get off his only pass attempt of the day with three defenders closing in on him.
Running back Johnson was Hamilton's target and he made a diving catch for the short completion. Johnson was the third and final offensive contributor with his 2-yard catch and 5 yards on four carries.
Kick returner Parisi had the only return yardage for the Wolverines. He had two returns for 13 yards. Parisi's biggest return was a cutback up the middle for 10 yards.
The Wolverines (1-4) take on the Damonte Ranch Mustangs (1-4) in their last home game of the year Saturday at River View Sports Park's small field.
