CONCORD -- De La Salle High's football team beat Foothill 34-17 on Friday night to stay unbeaten this season, but this wasn't a particularly enjoyable win for coach Bob Ladouceur and the Spartans.
The defense gave up a season high in points, and the team led by just 10 at one point in the fourth quarter before finally icing the game.
"Our defense couldn't get off the field, our quarterback had a tough night throwing, our offensive line had a tough night blocking," Ladouceur said. "You can't play that way against Foothill. They have a lot of heart, and they're well coached. You do that against them, and they hung around the whole game."
Griffith Gates' 4-yard touchdown run got Foothill within 27-17 with 10 minutes, 50 seconds left, but the Spartans went on a 10-play drive capped by a Tiapepe Vitale 3-yard touchdown run. De La Salle (6-0) breathed a little easier from there.
Vitale finished with 149 rushing yards and four touchdowns, including a 76-yard scamper two plays after Foothill had made the score 20-10 in the third quarter.
De La Salle led 20-3 at halftime thanks to a couple major assists from its special teams and defense.
Allan Marion returned the opening kickoff 55 yards to give De La Salle great field position, but from there Spartans needed 11 plays to go 40 yards for their first score.
On the final play of the drive, Michael Hutchings made a stellar one-handed grab on a bad pitch, trapping the ball against his backside and sprinting 7 yards for the touchdown.
It soon became 14-0 after D.J. Moffitt intercepted Foothill sophomore quarterback Kyle Kearns on the Falcons' third play from scrimmage. He returned the ball to the Falcons' 8-yard line, and Vitale found the end zone on the next play.
But Foothill (3-3) didn't roll over. Kearns and the Falcons' offense were particularly successful in the second half. He finished with 145 passing yards and a touchdown.
"We competed this week. Last week against Cal, we didn't compete," Foothill coach Matt Sweeney said. "It's the first week we've done that where we've competed the whole time."

Pages 6 - 10 of 237

|236-237 >>
1 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I do not think anyone is suggesting you are
2not entitled to impugn their reports by evidence or in
3other ways. The question you are really on is whether
4they are entitled to adduce the experts' reports under the
5Civil Evidence Act or not.
6 MR RAMPTON: I have to say, I do not think it is an enormous
7point. If we think we want to rely to any extent on the
8actual contents of the reports of the witnesses that we
9are not calling in person, then naturally we will have to
10persuade your Lordship that we are entitled to do that.
11Presently, my view is that almost everything that I need
12for cross-examination of this subject and for proof is to
13be found in Mr Irving's own words and in documents sent to
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, but if you are going to rely on the
16uncalled experts, then it may not take very long because
17I suspect the answer is that the language of the Act does
18not distinguish between expert and lay witnesses.
19 MR RAMPTON: I am almost certain it does not, but I am not
20going to commit myself.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: There may be some authority on it. It does
22strike me as slightly unusual.
23 MR RAMPTON: I have not come across it before but that does not
24mean it cannot be done .
25 MR IRVING: It does certainly put me at a disadvantage, not
26knowing precisely what they are intending to do.
1 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think we know what they are intending to
2do. There is a question whether they are entitled to do
4 MR IRVING: Mr Rampton, as I understood, has just said that he
5might rely on parts and he might not, which leaves us
6precisely where we were when I into court this morning.
7What I am really asking is that your Lordship should
8direct them, if they intend to rely on part, they must
9indicate what statutes and authorities they are going to
10rely on to open that particular door.
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think I will be a bit more specific about
12it. I think it would be helpful to have it in writing
14 MR RAMPTON: Yes.
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think there must be a brief written
16submission lodged by -- are we going to finish Professor
17Evans today?
18 MR RAMPTON: Professor Evans today -- can I say a little bit
19about how I see things going? Your Lordship may or may
20not agree with me, I do not know. Professor Evans I hope
21will finish today. Then there will be Dr Longerich
22tomorrow. I hope that he will finish either tomorrow or
23Wednesday. Then comes the question what happens next.
24There is a vast amount of material in part generated by
25what one might call the history of Mr Irving's own
26activities in these areas.
1 What Miss Rogers and I and others have been
2doing is to try and reduce all that vast amount of
3material to two files. Those files themselves are quite
4fat. First, I would not want to cross-examine Mr Irving
5on those files without his having seen them, and I do
6believe that the more time he could have to absorb -- it
7is all material which is in the wider range of files
8already. There is nothing new in it, but it has all been
9pulled together. In front of each section the intention
10is to have a little summary of what each section contains,
11which Miss Rogers has been doing with help.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: These are the people he has associated with,
13is that right?
14 MR RAMPTON: Yes, the people he has associated with,
15organizations and individuals.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
17 MR RAMPTON: I began to read it over the weekend and it will be
18an extremely valuable set of documents. In the end, it
19will cut things down. My tentative proposal would be
20that, when Dr Longerich has finished, I would have some
21questions of Mr Irving in cross-examination on history,
22but I would leave that association cross-examination until
23the following Monday. Then, when that was finished, which
24would take maybe half a day or a day, I would then call
25Professor Funke.
26 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You are, effectively, suggesting that
1Wednesday onwards should be time for Mr Irving to digest
2these files?
3 MR RAMPTON: Probably Thursday onwards because I will have some
4cross-examination. A combination of Dr Longerich and my
5further cross-examination on history should get us
6probably through all or most of Wednesday. Then what I am
7proposing is we should take the last two days of this week
8off so that Mr Irving can read these files, which he
9should get by, I hope, tomorrow night.
10 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
11 MR RAMPTON: If he says he cannot do it in the time, then he
12will say so and your Lordship will hear what he has to
14 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Can we just revert to the written
15submissions? I think close of business tomorrow for the
16written submissions on entitlement not to call the experts
17but to rely on their evidence.
18 MR RAMPTON: I do not think it will take very long, I may be
19wrong. The new edition of Phippson has just come out, so
20I can have a look in that.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Say close of business tomorrow for a short
22note of the submissions.
23 MR RAMPTON: Yes.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: So you will get it hopefully sometime towards
25the end of tomorrow. Mr Irving what about the suggestion
26Mr Rampton has just made about the way in which we deal
1with the rest of the evidence? I am not going to do
2anything if you have sensible objections to it.
3 MR IRVING: I have no objection to that, my Lord. The
4timetable sounds very sound. If I was to utter a wish and
5I know my wishes count for very little in this court room,
6it would be that one of the spare days should be put
7before Dr Longerich rather than after, to able me to take
8Longerich probably advised, although I am prepared for him
9and, of course, I have read his entire report and have
10prepared a large bundle of material, which would in effect
11being tomorrow being free and Longerich being called on
12the following day.
13 MR RAMPTON: I embrace that enthusiasm, if I may say so. It
14would make our task in completing these files a lot easier
15if we did it that way. I do not any longer have to do any
16preparation for Dr Longerich, except that that will also
17give me the opportunity to finish the history file.
18Mr Irving certainly will need that and, if he can get it
19by close of play tonight, or even lunch time tomorrow,
20that will help.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I am happy to do that, providing that we
22have the bundles available so that tomorrow can be used
23looking through your new material. I can use tomorrow.
24 MR RAMPTON: The history file he should have tomorrow, because
25that helps his cross-examination of Dr Longerich. I will
26tell your Lordship how it is proposed to compose it. On

I have searched through the marathon forum for anyone who posted that they weren't able to finish a marathon. Two things came to my mind, either people in this community always successfully finishes their race or many of us are too embarrassed to mention it. I am merely posting my story in hopes I may receive some kind of input, whether positive or negative.
On March 20, 2011, Shamrock marathon was supposed to be my first marathon, but at about mile 9 I felt the knee pain on the right then eventually became both. I tried my hardest to keep pushing, but the pain just got so bad I couldn't walk. I trained as I was supposed to, even with a running buddy and through the cold 20 degree weather. My pace was 10-11 min during my entire training and even ran as high 20 miles. In fact I trained on the same course as the Shamrock.
My body and emotions were at war because my knees was saying no, but my mind was saying we can keep going. I have had knee pains in the past, but oddly enough none during my training. Eventually, I had to give up and it was one of the hardest thing I had to do. I had to tell my running buddy to just keep going because I did not want to hold her back. I pretty much cried the entire time I sat waiting for transport to pick me up till I got home. It took transport a long time to get to me. When the transport dropped me off, they just literally dropped me off. I had to walk to medical tent by myself unsupported walk by the finish line where all the runners happily got there medals and other goodies for finishing the race. I cried some more. When I reached the medical tent they told me that icing my knee is not serious enough for their tent and that i needed to walk to the other tent. I cried some more to the thought of walking much more. I went to the tent were I can get iced when my husband arrived. It was not even another medical tent. it was the tent where all the finishers got their beer and food. I found a physical therapist booth were they gave out ice. They just gave me ice. When I asked them about wrapping my knee with ice, they acted like they have never heard of that practice before. So if the race could add more salt to my injury, they just kept pouring.
I have only ran a half marathon prior to this, which was the dodge rock and roll 1/2 marathon. They knew what to do when people asked to ice their knees and they did not turn away people with minor or major complaints. They had medical tents throughout the race, not just at the end of the race.
In the end, I just went home pretty much emotionally rocked by the whole experience. Now I know how it felt to be a quitter and how people treat you when you are a marathon quitter. There are no consolation medals for trying to finish a marathon. Nevermind, that I was able to finish half of the race. I felt like a huge embarrassment to myself, family, friends, and to the sport. I just feel like hiding under the rock because people couldn't console me. They don't know what it was like to put so much time and effort into running. This was huge for me and it was my stupid knees that stopped me.
I am just looking for others who went through similar experience as me. I know that this is probably a forum for people who do well in running and accomplishes their goals in running. But what about the others. How does one bounce back? It was hard to make sense of what happened to me. I am not looking to complain about this race, but I also felt that I should have made to feel this way. I am not looking to quit running but I am pretty devasted. If you guys can, I just need some guidance. Thank you for your time and letting me vent.
i attempted the LA marathon on sunday march 20th 2011 and failed at mile 15. i was ill prepared i just wanted to try it and i found out if i even trained for it i might have made it. bbut for the most part though it was cold and raining i had alot of funn
Professional runners have it happen sometimes also!!!!! I had a very tuff Marine Corp Marathon last year, and it took a couple of months to get my head right after. I did keep running and just ran a amazing race on the 20th also. It can happen to anyone, keep you head up and don't give up, make running a lifetime goal. Find another one when you are mentally ready. Sounds like the Shamrock need to work with the volunteers! Take care you are not a quitter, just had some medical issues. What I have read about the weather, that could have been a big issue for you and the medical tent.
I ran the Virginia Beach Shamrock Marathon. The day before the marathon, my quads/calves hurt so bad (I over trained it on wednesday)that it was so hard for me to walk-I walked around the house like a robot. Some friends from facebook adviced me to use foam roller and take an ice soak which i both did. I went to bed that night feeling a lot better (still painfulll though). I woke up at 5am and I was still feeling the same pain but I am decided...I said to myself "I gotta at least try" even if I only cross the 1 mile mark....I gotta try. I tried and finished the whole marathon in 5:30 something....GOD was there with me.
I don't know if you'll take my story as a rub-off, but please don't. What I'm telling you is that "you are not an embarassment to yourself or to anyone". You went out there and tried it...you might have failed, but failings is what makes us strong, it is on a small bump along the way. Just as we have prepared our victory speech, we should also be prepared to take a step back either on our own term or by others' term. The step back to make us re-think and re-plan and recover.
Now my advice to you is while deciding your next marathon, work on your quads, calves, hams and your core...your knees and your ankles are only as strong as those muscles. GOODLUCK on your training. GOD BLESS.
Thanks for sharing your story. I was having fun and had nothing but positive thoughts to begin with. But the pain took over and I guess negativity easily slipped it.
Thank you so much for your post. You are right these things can happen to anyone and at any event. I just wished it wasn't that day. I like how you mentioned that running should be my lifetime goal. I will read up on weather and knee pains. I did mention about the medical volunteers because I had previous experience from another race. I am also a nurse, so I do have expectations.
I DNF'd the Marine Corps Marathon a couple years ago. But I had issues going into it and I knew I might not finish. In fact I made it less than a mile. You were smart to stop. You could have caused injury that might keep you from running for weeks or months It doesn't make you a quitter. One of the hardest things for most of us is realizing when to back off so we can come back to run another day. You will get back and you will run again, and you definitely should plan on your next marathon.
Congrats on your race and way to overcome the pain prior to the race. Kinda wish I could have done the same and they said women have higher tolerance to pain. Not me. It interesting that you had mentioned GOD. I am also a believer and I had my priest give me a special prayer the day before. I pretty much prayed a lot for the day and during my training days. So...I guess I will leave it at HE had better plans for me and this race was not meant to be. I do admit that it is a bummer because I felt that worked so hard at it. This brings me to the other point, where I pretty much told everyone I was doing a marathon and asked for their blessings and prayers. Which is why i mentioned that I felt embarrassed. I totally was not prepared for "what if i don't finish". I didn't prepare a speech for that. Very humbling experience. You are right about re-thinking, re-planning, and recovering. I will also take your advice on working out for strength on the core and lower extremities. Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your post and words of encouragement. I especially like what you mentioned about backing off so that we can run another day. I honestly never thought of that because I really caught in the moment. I didn't think about the consequences if I had went further. I truly like running and I should think longevity. I am thinking, I should probably seeking some professionals about my knees just in case. Thank you so much. Hearing from others does help.
It's not called a marathon because it's easy. Depending on how bad you want it, you'll get there. Keep going for new best distances and you will condition your body to be able to take it. It will feel unbelievable when you do.
I would like to commend you on an effort that just didn't work out. I admire your dedication in preparing for this effort.
I would just like to say that YOU own all of the successes that led up to this attempt. Nothing anyone else says or doesn't say can take them away.
You completed training for a marathon!
You ran a 20 mile training run!
You ran outside in weather most people wouldn't venture out in!
You stopped in a race for a good reason. You could have quit training for no reason.
Keep your head up and celebrate the smaller accomplishments along the way.
2012 Minneapolis Polar Dash 1/2 Marathon 2:06:56
2012 Brainerd Jaycess Run for the Lakes Marathon 4:48:10
It is funny you say that marathon is not easy. I forgot about that because training went so well. I thought it was attainable. I do want the experience of running through a the finish line of a marathon and getting that cheap medal. boy, it feels pretty good saying that...I guess that is the first step. Thank you for your post!
Thank you for the reminders. Those accomplishments was easily washed away when my knee pain took over and I did not complete the marathon. I do remember feeling so awesome and marvelous as my miles increased. I guess that is why I expected to do well on my first marathon. Thank you for your advice. I will celebrate the small accomplishments a long the way.
You seem to be dwelling on the disappointment of not finishing rather than focusing on why you had to stop. There should be an answer for what happened to you. If you went through the training and tapered properly you should have been able to run a lot futher than 10 miles. Did you run enough mileage during your training, building gradually? Did you tweak your knee in training and ignore it? Did you switch to different shoes over the last couple weeks? Did you have the same pain throughout your training and never addressed it? How about now, are you injured and have pain while walking around? Injury and pain are two different things. Everyone has pain in a marathon, but usually it begins at 15+ miles (assuming you have trained for the race). Think about the weeks leading up to the race and try to find a reason behind your knee pain.
I have thought about what may have went wrong. I thought maybe it is because I did small dynamic stretching prior to the race, which i never do. As far as my knee pains in the past, I had knee pain maybe a month prior to actually serious marathon training. I just changed my shoes and it got better. I followed the training for beginners so I did short runs and then the long runs. I did not notice pain but mild soreness after the long runs. The most I ran was 20 miles and I tapered down. I did do the 20 miles weeks prior to the race. I don't think I overtrained because I tapered down to 3 runs then 2 runs last 2 weeks prior to the race. I also trained outside in the 20-30 cold weather with wind chills, so I thought I was prepared for the race day which was 40 degrees with wind chill.
The furthest I ran was 13.1 miles during the race and I could not run or walk much further. It was like every step had sharp pain on the outside of both my knees. I felt good about the race because I thought the training went well. I don't think I would have don't it if I had persistant or even intermittent pain on my knees during my training. I honestly not seen a doctor prior to doing a marathon because I thought it was just part of pounding the knees on the pavement over the years plus it went away after I rested. I did stop strenght training my legs towards the last month of training. thinking my knees will be alright.
After the race it took a good day with ibuprofen til I can walk down stairs without some soreness. Day 3 post race, I tried sprinting (not far) 50 yards in the street and I had no soreness or pain. I have set an appointment to see a doctor about my knees, so we will see. thanks for your post.

Takuma Sato and No. 14 ABC Supply Team Take IndyCar Point Lead
With Sato's Brilliant Drive in Brazil
SAO PAULO, Brazil May 5, 2013—Sometimes a driver's 'best-driven' race doesn't land him in Victory Lane. That was the case today with Takuma Sato who drove a brilliant—and valiant--race to finish second with the ABC Supply Honda in the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy 300. James Hinchcliffe passed Sato coming off the last corner to claim his second win of the season.
Sato took over the IZOD IndyCar points lead as A.J. Foyt's ABC Supply team heads to Indianapolis as the points leader. The last time Foyt's team led the IndyCar standings was in 1998 when Kenny Brack won the series title.
Starting 12th, Sato made great moves on the starts and restarts to live up to his philosophy of "No Attack. No Chance." He picked up positions every time without losing any bodywork – a feat in itself on the streets of Sao Paulo—so that by lap 34 he was leading the race. He pitted four laps later during a caution, but that call was a gamble on the part of Team Foyt who could have stayed out a few more laps as many others did.
That call set up another gamble during a lap 52 caution as the team abandoned their Conserve Fuel strategy, gave up P-6 on the track, ducked in for fuel only—and no tires. When the stops cycled out, however, Sato was in P-4! He moved into the lead on lap 57 for the second time and held off repeated attacks from Josef Newgarden and later Hinchcliffe, both on fresher tires.
In the final 15 laps of the 75-lap race however, the no. 14 car began getting looser with every lap as Sato's quick hands fought to maintain control and the lead. He managed to do just that until the final turn of the final lap of the race. Hinchcliffe zipped past and took the checkered, while Sato took second and the points lead.
It was the second straight podium finish for Sato who finished third here last year. It was also the second podium finish in Sao Paulo for the ABC Supply team – their first podium – third place with Vitor Meira – came in the 2010 inaugural event.
Marco Andretti finished third and moves into second in the standings. Oriol Servia was fourth and Newgarden wound up fifth. Pre-race favorite Will Power dropped out with mechanical issues before halfway.
"We chose the strategy to come into the pit when we were leading [lap 35] but we had 40 laps left," Sato said after climbing out of the car. "The guys did a tremendous job calling the race. It was difficult because the tires go off quite a lot compared to Hinch and Newgarden. I also had a slight issue with the brakes and I was really hanging on, but obviously Hinch did a great maneuver—congrats on his second win of this season. We didn't think we had a car today capable of winning but what a strong comeback for the AJ Foyt Racing team. Really happy. The guys did a tremendous job."
"It's been a great turnaround for our team for sure," ABC Supply Team Director Larry Foyt said. "We struggled for speed actually this weekend in Brazil, we struggled to find a set up. Takuma just drove another good race and the guys had good pit stops. It was funny the way the yellows were falling. It was kind of a gamble on what we did and we got lucky it worked out. We had a chance to win it and Takuma had a chance to win it, but we ran out of tires at the end. The guys, our engineers and Takuma just never gave up. I am really proud of them."
A.J. Foyt, who didn't make the trip to Brazil, was even more enthused in his comments, saying, "From what I could tell, he drove a helluva race considering the tires were probably worn out. The crew did a good job on calling the race because if they had to change tires, they wouldn't have been up there, so it was a gamble and it paid off."
As for being the points leader going into the Indianapolis 500?
"This team is really doing a fantastic job," Larry Foyt said. "Takuma is driving just amazingly. It's been good, so going into the month of May, obviously this is a long month and anything can happen, but it's always a positive to have good momentum going into Indy."
Of course, the last word belongs to A.J. who said, "You always like to be leading the points regardless of where you're going -- it just keeps the crew's momentum going -- but we've just got to come out of there with a bigger lead in points!"
Practice for the Indy 500 begins Saturday, May 11th with Pole Day set for May 18th. The 97th Running of the Indianapolis 500 will be broadcast live Sunday, May 26th on ABC-TV starting at 12 p.m. ET.

Attendance at Safe Zone trainings is voluntary. The only qualifications necessary to become Safe Zone allies are to be open to learning and committed to further understanding the experiences of LGBTQ individuals within the SLU community.
Attendees will voluntarily sign a pledge and receive a placard that they can display in their work, office or living space; the placard states that the space in which it is displayed is a "Safe Zone." Members are also provided a resource manual as reference should they ever need it.
Safe Zone members are not experts on the LGBTQ community. They are members of the Saint Louis University community who display a commitment to creating a more inclusive environment in which LGBTQ people will be treated with dignity and respect.
For further information on the Safe Zone program, please contact the coordinator of the SafeZone Program, Luis H. Garay, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call the Cross Cultural Center at 314-977-2119.

Reese Ramponi - Hierarchies: Examining class at Dartmouth
When I asked upperclassmen about the guys walking around with their matching Timberlands, gray sweatshirts and blue jeans my freshman fall, I was told that it was pledge term, and that they were dressing like the working class because they'd never have to be part of it again.

When streaming an .avi-movie, the subtitles are not shown (I use the MEncoder, can't figure out how to use the others).
I've tried checking and unchecking "ASS/SSA subtitles" and "fontconfig".
I've put "dan" as my first subtitle language priority, as the subs are in Danish.
And finally, I've made sure that the .avi-file has the same name as the .srt-file.
Can you help me?
Kind Regards.

With eight players on their roster listed at 6-foot-3 or taller, the Irish (20-9) held a big advantage on the boards, outrebounding Warren 32-22.

Six-six senior Nick Wells poured in 18 points on seven of eight shooting and recorded a game-high seven rebounds while 6-7 freshman V.J. King added 14 points and six boards. 6-6 junior Jalen Hudson also reached double figures with 12 points.
Junior Reece Patton had a game-high 21 points and added six caroms to pace the Warriors (26-2). Sophomore Michael Hall contributed 15 markers and five counters.

Team stats
Warren: Shooting: 18-for-45 (40 percent); 3-point goals: 7 (Patton 3, Hall 2, French 1, Leffingwell 1); Rebounds: 22 (Patton 6, Hall 5); Assists: 13 (Leffingwell 4, Yabs 3); Steals: 2; Turnovers: 11.
St. Vincent-St. Mary: Shooting: 25-for-42 (59.5 percent); 3-point goals: 2 (King 1, Bickley 1); Rebounds: 32 (Wells 7, King 6); Assists: 14 (Woolridge 3, Hargrove 3); Steals: 4; Turnovers: 9.
Junior Evan French, who played exceptionally well all throughout the postseason, got into foul trouble early and was never able to get into a rhythm. French finished with five points, fouling out late in the fourth quarter.
"I thought we executed our game plan pretty good," said Irish boss Dru Joyce. "We got French into foul trouble early which was big.
"We wanted to make sure that if (French) got some (points), he had to work hard for it and earn it."
St. Vincent-St. Mary opened the game on a 6-1 run, but 3-pointers by Patton and senior Dylan Leffingwell cut it to 9-7.
After a basket by St. Mary's Jordan Hargrove, Patton hit another trey to make it 11-10. Wells countered with a 3-point play before Warren took its only lead of the game on five straight points from Hall to make it 15-14.
Wells then poured in five straight of his own before Hall nailed a jumper to make it 19-17 after one quarter.
"I'm really proud of the way we came out and battled," Maddox said. "We hit some big shots early to stay in it. We played really tough."
Jalen Hudson recorded a steal and turned it into a slam dunk to open the second period. Later, Patton scored five straight points for the Warriors to make the score 24-21, but a runner by Hudson and a bucket by Hargrove extended it to 28-22.
Patton nailed his third triple of the game to bring it to 30-26, but the Fighting Irish went on a 9-1 run to close out the half up 39-27.
The lead increased to 18 points for the Irish after the third quarter. A 3-pointer by French and a basket by Patton brought it to a 12-point game midway through the third, but that was as close as the Warriors would get.
In the final minutes of the game, senior Matt Drayer and juniors' Corey Newlon and Andrew Drayer all hit baskets, but it was not enough as St. Vincent-St. Mary held on for the 19-point victory to claim a spot in the state championship game.
With the deepest postseason run in school history, the Warriors certainly have a lot to be proud of.
"It's the most fulfilling feeling I've ever had," Patton said. "Just being here on the big stage. It's never been done before at our school. It's just something special and I'm proud of our guys."
Hall added "It's special to be here. We've gotta come back next year and work even harder."

Citation: Liu, K., Moreau, R.A., Bregitzer, P.P., Hicks, K.B. 2011. Composition and Functional Lipid Profiles of Low-Phyate Barleys and Related Cultivars. World Conference on Oilseed and Edible Oil Processing. Izmir, Turkey, June 21-23, 2011. Technical Abstract: Barley, one of the earliest cultivated cereal grains in the world, is gaining renewed interest for use in food, feed and as a bioethanol feedstock. Like other grains, its high phytate content is undesirable since phytate affects mineral bioavailability and contributes to P pollution to environment. Recent breeding advances have led to the development of several barley lines (hulled or hulless) with reduced levels of phytate. One of them was recently released by USDA-ARS as a low phytate cultivar (Clearwater). To identify value-added components in barleys and determine if phytate content has any effects on them, we conducted this study to compare levels of tocopherols and tocotrienols, fatty acid composition, and composition of other key nutrients in five low-phytate genotypes with five related cultivars having normal phytate contents. Seed samples were collected from three growing locations, each having two plots. Results showed that genotype, location and their interaction had significant effects (p < 0.05) on most attributes measured. However, correlation between a nutrient level and phytate level was mostly week, indicating that low phyate barleys did not necessarily have different general composition and functional lipid profiles from regular cultivars. When genotypes were grouped into hulled and hulless, for many nutrients, the hulless had higher levels than the hulled type.

Fireman Ed Chant App
This is a guest post from the biggest fan of the New York Jets, Fireman Ed. Read more about his new App, in which proceeds go to the Boomer Esiason Foundation and Autism Speaks in Meghan Madte's name.
Can't get enough of Fireman Ed's famous J-E-T-S chant? Now you can take the JETS most vocal fan with you wherever you go with a new Fireman Ed Chant App.
With this App, fans have the chance to create personalized Fireman Ed J-E-T-S chants, send them to friends and post to their YouTube and Facebook accounts. Fans can record their own versions of the chant – cheering their own names, the names of their favorite players past and present, or their families and friends. Fans can add personalized messages to the end of the chant to make each chant unique.
The app also features a soundboard with phrases and words recorded by Ed so you can feel like you at the game 24/7. Ed has something to say about some of the team's biggest rivals in a series of videos. If fans are feeling traditional, they can simply listen to the 100% authentic J-E-T-S chant.
The app is available on the IPad, IPhone and Android smartphones for a one-time cost of $1.99. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Boomer Esiason Foundation and Autism Speaks.
Why Autism Speaks?
I chose to donate to Autism Speaks because of very close friends whose children have autism. I see the commitment they have for their children, and I see the commitment they have for the Autism Speaks foundation.
Autism Speaks has provided these families with opportunities and resources and continues to give them hope each day.
I always promised if I ever had the opportunity to help them, I would. This app has given me the opportunity to help the Autism Speaks foundation and in turn, help very special friends.
I know the foundation will continue to provide resources which help all families dealing with this disorder. It is a great feeling knowing that I will have the opportunity to make a difference with my contributions.
For more information about the Fireman Ed Chant App visit here!
A Quote from a Community Member:
Bill Elliot: "Fireman Ed….if you are a big enough man to help the kids & parents who face the challenge of Autism daily……I am a enough of a man to switch jerseys….J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!!!!!!!"

The East Coast road trip in Tesla's Model S sedan by veteran New York Times reporter John Broder has created a bit of a frenzy. Tesla's devout fans have suggested that "broder" become a verb, as in "to purposely or with willful ignorance run down the battery pack of an electric vehicle to the point that it no longer moves the vehicle." Now a convoy of Model S owners are doing their own drive, following Broder's exact itinerary from Maryland to Connecticut this weekend.
"We're trying to recreate what the New York Times reporter did," said Aaron Schieldkraut, 46, a proud Model S owner from Yonkers, NY..

Ask This Guapo: Should I Have Sex With My Ex?
My ex reached out to me recently to "catch up." I broke up with him because I didn't feel that deep of a connection, even though we had great sex… It's been a while since I've been with someone, and I'm worried that if we hook up we'll get back together, but, I have to admit, I do miss our hot time together. Do you think this will set me back on my search for true love?
If you are specifically searching for "true love", I am not sure what to tell you. True love grows from a combination of the magical things that brought you together before became partners, and the hard work you did after that. If you didn't have that deep of a connection the first time around it is not likely you are going to fall in love esta vuelta. Si hace tiempo que comes, tienes hambre y hay comida sabrosa para comer, mete manos. It might be time for you to just do you, and save your time and energy for the man who deserves it.
Earlier this year, a girl who i really liked cut things off between us out of the blue. I was pretty much a rebound for her, and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out other reasons why it ended, but I decided it wasn't worth the mental energy draining from my brain. We ended on good terms, and the couple street run ins we have had since, always leave us bright eyed and bushy tailed. tThe last time we actually kissed. It's wonderful and fun, despite the the fact that she no longer sits on my face. (Sigh) I've made it clear she can have it si la merece, but she left me, so she's going to have to holler.
What is important here is communication. You have the control and get to set the bar for the type of relationships you want to have. If you want good sex, have it. If you'd rather wait for that deep connection then hold out for a hero. And for all scenarios, kick them to the curb unless they meet your requirements. If sleeping with your ex-macho makes you feel like you are lowering the bar and inviting something "less than" back into your life, then don't do it. If he's on point, cue the music and get twerking. Peace of mind is powerful.

Car audio for the first-time buyer
Tips to help you find the right stereo gear
Charlie Pastorfield writes about car audio for Crutchfield. Raised in Connecticut and the U.S. Virgin Islands, he graduated from the University of Virginia, but was having way too much fun to leave Charlottesville. After a long, beautiful career touring the East Coast from Boston to Atlanta as a professional guitarist (Skip Castro Band, The Believers), he married Emilie, had two daughters (Morgan and Emma), and got his first full-time job at Crutchfield. Still an extremely active musician, he's now a member of The Gladstones, a 4-piece group that plays just about anything, and Mama Tried, a 4-piece band that plays early Grateful Dead.
More from Charlie Pastorfield
You spent lots on your home stereo system, but you actually spend more time listening to music in your car. Maybe it's time to invest in a good car audio system.
Lots of people go through life happy with their car stereo — they never give it a second thought. But you're not one of those people — not anymore. All of a sudden, you have doubts about the stereo system in your vehicle. These doubts usually start after hearing a new stereo that a friend or neighbor installed in their car. Or when that new CD that sounded great on your home system sounded totally flat in your car. Whatever the reason, your ears are trying to tell you something. Listen to a familiar track on your home speakers, then repeat the experience in your car
Turn up your car's stereo to a healthy level and listen. Do you find yourself turning the treble control way up to make the music sound clear? Do the bass notes sound hollow and exaggerated? When you drive, do you turn up the volume for a song you like, but then turn it down immediately because the sound is a little irritating?
If you're nodding your head in agreement, you're a prime candidate for a quality aftermarket sound system. But, if you're new to car audio, the road to better sound can be a long and winding one. Here are a few things to keep in mind along the way.
Replacing your factory system
Your vehicle's factory system consists of a stereo and some speakers. In the vast majority of cases, if you replace these, your music will sound better. Sounds pretty simple. So what's involved?
In most vehicles, it's a relatively easy job to remove the factory stereo from your dash and replace it with an aftermarket stereo (aka "receiver" or "head unit"). In many cars, the stereo pops right out with the aid of simple tools; in other cars, you might have to remove a section of the dash.
When you purchase your new gear from Crutchfield, we include our one-of-kind MasterSheet™ instructions. These illustrated, step-by-step installation guides will show you everything you need to do to replace your stereo and speakers. You'll also get access to our tech support team if you need help along the way. As a Crutchfield customer, you get free tech support help for the life of the gear, and it's available toll-free by phone seven days a week.
To get started, use our vehicle selector tool to find out which stereos fit your car.
A mounting kit and wiring harness like these simplify the installation of your new stereo, and make it easy to replace the factory stereo when you sell your car. If they're available for your car, you'll get them at a deep discount when you by any car stereo from us.
Will I ruin my car?
No, you won't hurt your vehicle if you install a new stereo. But it's important to install an aftermarket receiver properly. Your Crutchfield MasterSheet will help, and so will the vehicle-specific harnesses that allow you to connect the new stereo to your factory wiring. Since you don't have to cut any wires, it's easy to re-install the original stereo when you sell or return the car. If the prospect of dismantling the car is a little intimidating, get a knowledgeable friend to help you through the installation. You might be surprised how easy it is to do it yourself.
So what do you get for your trouble? The average aftermarket stereo will have the following advantages over a factory stereo:
- more power — for cleaner sound and better bass response, which you'll notice even at lower volume levels;
- better AM/FM reception — more stations, less drift, better FM stereo;
- more effective tone controls — a factory stereo offers basic bass and treble adjustments, but a more sophisticated aftermarket receiver has control options that allow you to get the sound exactly the way you like it;
- more entertainment options — most stereos let you play music from your phone or control a satellite radio tuner, and they also offer auxiliary and USB inputs so you can plug in a portable music player. A growing number of receivers let you stream music and make calls using built-in Bluetooth® connectivity.
If you're unfamiliar with the industry lingo, it can be confusing to encounter all the different specifications and features spewed forth by car audio dealers and manufacturers. If you want to do the research, check out our articles on car stereos. If you don't want to deal with facts and figures, it's important to get advice from a knowledgeable friend or a salesperson you can trust.
This factory speaker is limited by its construction. An inexpensive paper woofer and paper "tweeter" will not produce accurate, high-fidelity sound.
"Oh, my speakers sound just fine."
Your car's speakers are not a high-priority item for the auto manufacturer. In most vehicles, you'll find simple paper cone speakers that produce little more than minimum acceptable sound quality. Even the separate speakers for low and high frequencies (woofers and tweeters) that you'll find in many so-called "premium" factory sound systems are typically of low quality. For many people, "minimum acceptable sound quality" is good enough; but you must be wondering if there's something better out there or you wouldn't be reading this article.
If music is important to you, you probably have a decent set of speakers in your living room. Listen to a familiar track from a favorite CD on your home speakers, and then repeat the experience in your car. Factory speakers will often sound dull and a little fuzzy in comparison. Individual bass notes turn to mush, while the high-frequency sounds that add sizzle to your music (cymbals, tambourines, etc.) are buried. In short, your music loses detail and impact.
By comparison, aftermarket speakers will offer:
- brighter sound and more overall clarity, thanks to higher-quality tweeters
- more accurate bass (from woofer cones made from superior materials)
- better construction for longer speaker life
The key to buying speakers is choosing the right set of speakers for the job. If you plan on using your car stereo to power the speakers, you'll want to choose speakers with a high efficiency rating (also known as "sensitivity" or "SPL" rating) because they won't require a ton of power. Speakers can sound just as distorted if they're underpowered as they can when overpowered. If you're using an amplifier, choose high-quality speakers that are designed to handle high power. If you're installing separate component speakers (woofer and tweeter sets), you'll get top performance by powering them with a separate amplifier.
You might have to do a little work (remove your door panels, or unscrew a section of your dash, or crawl into your trunk), but it's not all that difficult to remove the factory speakers from most vehicles. Speaker wiring harnesses are available for most vehicles, so you can hook up your new speakers without cutting off the factory speaker plugs. That means you can pop the factory speakers back in at a later date — good news if you lease your car.
A compact powered sub like Infinity's Basslink can make a world of difference in the sound of any car's audio system.
Where do I start?
If you've visited a car electronics website or a local retailer, you know there are a staggering number of choices out there. So where do you start?
First, narrow down your choices by asking yourself some questions:
- What's your budget? There's no law that says you have to replace all this stereo equipment at one time. Many people test the waters by replacing their front speakers first — you can buy a good set of front speakers for as little as $30-$50, depending on the size. It's fun to build your system step-by-step, since you get to hear the sonic improvement made by each new piece of equipment. If you want to do it all at once, plan on spending roughly 60% of your hard-earned cash on the stereo, 40% for front and rear speakers.
- Do you love your factory stereo? If your car's factory stereo sounds weak and wimpy, but looks and operates just fine, you can replace your speakers with efficient aftermarket speakers first. You'll notice a big improvement in the sound quality, and odds are you won't have to turn up the radio as loud to hear the music. In many newer vehicles, you can't remove the factory stereo because it also houses climate controls and other essentials. No worries. You'll find plenty of factory stereo solutions that can improve the sound and functionality of your system.
- Do you hate your factory stereo? If so, make a list of all the little things that irritate you. You'll be surprised how handy that list will be when you start shopping for a new stereo. If it's tough to make adjustments on your factory stereo, look for an aftermarket stereo with a simple layout (a rotary control is a beautiful thing). If you just can't get the sound right, look for a stereo that offers more extensive tone control — a built-in equalizer, preset EQ curves, or (at the bare minimum) a midrange control. If you can't see the factory display, buy a stereo with a bright, multi-color display for maximum visibility.
- Just need more bass? Some premium factory systems sound okay in general, but don't offer much in the way of bass. That's not hard to fix. You can add a subwoofer to a factory system without making any modifications to your car, so it's easy to remove the sub when it's time for a new set of wheels. A basic subwoofer system consists of an amplifier, a subwoofer (a low-frequency speaker generally between 6-1/2" and 15" in diameter), and some type of enclosure. You can buy the components separately or purchase an all-in-one unit (called a "powered sub"). Powered subs are a great solution if you have a small car or a bigger car with a limited amount of cargo space.
- Want more volume? Like to crank it up? Buy a separate amplifier to power your new speakers — you won't regret it.
There are few things in life as fun as rockin' out to a great-sounding sound system that you designed for your car. Have fun.
Next, go shopping. Be a smart shopper, and ask plenty of questions. If you know someone with a nice car stereo system, ask for his or her advice.
A stereo's appearance might be important, so check out the different brands to see which look appeals to you. You might think you're saving money on an unknown brand name, but inferior construction and mediocre sound may cause you to regret that decision. Always buy a reputable brand from a reliable retailer who offers a trial period and/or a satisfaction guarantee.
Yes, the number of choices can be mind-bending — but there are plenty of people out there who are ready to help you find the car stereo of your dreams. In fact, we have a dedicated team of advisors who do exactly that. If you have questions, call us at 888-955-6000.

I have a 2000 Mercedes ML320 I need a stereo with CD and dash kit and removal tools wire kit and any thing that I may need to change the stereo tell me what fits my car everyone I pic you don't have dash kit for it thanks
Jalile SorfensonPosted on 7/26/2015 3:04:09 PM
Most newer cars don't have a single or double DIN slot where you can easily swap out the factory radio with something better. Cars today have the factory stereo integrated into a screen with a centralized computer that combines all the other car menu settings and backup camera. Therefore, in most new cars, you're stuck with the factory stereo and there's no way to upgrade it.

My car only has an FM transmitter and if I turn it up too loud it gets static sounding and just not good sound quality. Will buying a new dash stereo that around 100$ or so improve my sound quality and give me an AUX option?
Mimette from NYPosted on 6/6/2016 6:32:36 PM
I just got a 2014 Subaru Impreza ago. Audio well the sound is terrible - flat, not loud, radio is like a 60's transistor radio, weak signal reception....a mess!! There are 2 speakers on the dash and 2 in the front doors. I don't even know where to start to replace, but don't want to go about $400 for the entire experience including installation.

I have a 2005 Pontiac G6 (GT model). If I swap out my deck, I know I'll lose the information such as oil life, fuel economy, etc. But will my factory alarm still work? There are some options on the factory deck for sounds when remote locks door and arms system. Thx in advance!

Why Banks Are Enjoying Record Mortgage Revenue
Originally posted on Developments.
Mortgage rates have fallen to their lowest recorded levels, but the spread between banks' cost of funding mortgages and the rates being offered to borrowers has soared in recent months.
The upshot, the thinking goes, is that mortgage rates would be even lower if banks were passing along their lower funding costs to borrowers.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York devoted a daylong conference to answer the questions of whether banks are booking higher mortgage profits as the Federal Reserve embarks on its latest effort to push mortgage rates down (answer: they are), and why (answer: there are a host of factors, but it has a lot to do with the fact that banks aren't able to add capacity fast enough to process the demand).
A paper presented at Monday's conference tries to break this down by looking at both why the so-called primary-secondary spread is historically high. While this rate trended around 0.5 percentage point during much of the past decade, it has spiked to around 1 percentage point since 2008, and as high as 1.5 percentage point in recent weeks.
The paper also looked at whether it has more to do with higher costs that banks face than with larger profits that banks have been able to charge. The authors devise a separate gauge, called "Other Profits and Unmeasured Costs," or OPUC, which shows that profits and/or costs have risen from around $2 per $100 in loans from 2005-08 to as high as $4 in early 2009 and $5 in recent months.
What explains the jump in both measures? First, it is more expensive to originate a mortgage today than in the past.
Guarantee fees: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have boosted their guarantee fees that they charge to lenders. These have gone up by around one-quarter of one percentage point over the past year.
Loan put-backs: Fannie and Freddie have also become much more aggressive about putting back defaulted loans to lenders when they find underwriting flaws. Banks have faced billions of dollars in losses, and they have tightened up their standards and are collecting mountains of paperwork every borrower file that they underwrite. This means it takes longer to process loans.
Mortgage servicing values: The cost of mortgage servicing, or collecting payments and handling delinquent mortgages, has gone up.
Hedging costs: Because it takes longer to originate loans, banks are having to pay for longer rate locks, which may boost the cost of loans.
Loan production costs: Licensing of loan officers, higher fixed costs in paying those loan officers, and other production expenses have gone up. It is more expensive to find, train, and pay loan officers and to bring in borrowers than in the past.

I think our attacking potency will be too much for the Liverpool back four!
If we keep Suarez quiet they will have little else, dependinmg on which Coutinho turns up, he looks a quality little player BTW.
A repeat of the Inter performance and result would be wonderful!
Also, how close are these scores? 2 points in it after all these games?! wow!

I think it would be a 50/50 call but because of our inter game just 2days earlier, we will be too tired & lack that energy and spark. I think our Europa match will be the difference in the end.
Liverpool are bang in form. I cant remember when we last won there?!
yes its very close between us 3. I was miles ahead early on. then joe was miles behind us & remmah. it will be a injustice if I don't finish 1st, because iv been top for probably 99% of the season!
Okay, let's get real, there's definitely goals in this one so what you need from me is the actual result. Been through all the permutations and all that shyte---sussed out the strengths and weaknesses---made a few phone calls---banker. 2-2, if not I'll show my #$%$ in Harrods window.

iPads May Help Those With 'Low Vision' Read Better
Nov. 12, 2012 -- iPads and other tablets with backlit screens may allow millions of people with "low vision" to read faster and easier, a new study suggests.
Low vision is an umbrella term for people who still have trouble reading, watching TV, or performing other daily activities despite glasses, contact lenses, medication, or even surgery. For people in this situation, the only options left are often magnifying glasses and low-vision aids, many of which are bulky and not that easy to use.
Enter iPads, Kindles, and other backlit tablets.
The new study shows that these devices may allow some people to read faster and more comfortably.
The findings will be presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in Chicago.
Reading With Backlit Tablets
The study was made up of two experiments. In the first, 62 people read three articles from The New York Times in the print version of the newspaper, as computer printouts, and on an Apple iPad 2.
More than half of those in the study had evidence of macular eye disease. The macula is the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail.
According to the findings, readers read faster on the iPad 2 than the newspaper or printed article. This improvement was most pronounced among people who had low vision in both eyes.
In the second experiment, 100 people read a book chapter in these ways:
- In a "real" book
- On an iPad 2 with 12-point and 18-point fonts
- On an Amazon Kindle with 12-point or 18-point fonts
The iPad was set at maximum background brightness. The Kindle used in the new study did not have a backlight, although the new Kindle Fire does come with one.
The people in the study all read faster on the iPad 2 than on the Kindle. The gap widened when the iPad font was magnified to 18 points.
People read 42 more words per minute on average with the iPad 2 on 18-point font compared to the book. By contrast, a 12 word-per-minute gain was seen among those reading on the Kindle in the same font.

Apple Drops MacBook Air Price by $100, Upgrades Chips
While the buzz on 9to5Mac on Monday was that Apple would bump up the processors in its popular MacBook Air laptops, the news today is that the minor spec adjustment comes with a $100 price drop across the board. The 11-inch MacBook Air now starts at $899, and the 13-inch Air starts at $999.
The spec bump is small: Though it means that the MacBook Air now has the latest-generation Intel chips, most performance stats, including the already-impressive 12-hour battery life on the 13-inch model, stay the same. (The 11-incher still gets nine hours.) The keen-eyed people at 9to5Mac point out that the maximum battery life now includes iTunes movie playback, but you probably still can't get maximum battery life while watching more popular forms of video, such as streaming Netflix.
Phil Schiller, Apple senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, said in a press release that the new price point means "there's no reason to settle for anything less than a Mac." But the MacBook Air is still more than twice as expensive as most entry-level PCs from other manufacturers. The discounted price doesn't put Apple in competition with Chromebooks and other sub-$400 machines.
While there's never been a more attainable price for the original super-sleek laptop, questions remain. When will Apple introduce a newly designed version, now that so many PC makers have copied its iconic style? And when will Apple make a MacBook Air with an easier-on-the-eyes "retina" screen that can be found on the pricier big-brother MacBook Pro?

SAN FRANCISCO -- For the past two weeks, federal law enforcement officials have depicted Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow as the true epicenter of a sprawling corruption, drug and gun trafficking and conspiracy investigation that ensnared Democratic state Sen. Leland Yee.
But while Chow remains jailed on a scroll of federal criminal charges, his newly-minted legal team, led by famed San Francisco lawyer Tony Serra, is lashing out with a vengeance against the government's case, calling it a compilation of crimes "fabricated" by the FBI with taxpayer money.
Thus far, Yee's lawyer has remained silent on the government's case against the suspended legislator. But at least from Chow's corner, it's game-on with federal prosecutors.
"There's definitely two sides to the story," Serra told reporters Thursday in his North Beach law office, surrounded by Chow backers wearing bright red "Free Shrimp Boy" T-shirts. "Only when the case randomly pointed toward Yee, they had the celebrity defendant they wanted all the time. If Yee hadn't been involved, maybe my client would never have been charged."
Yee and many of his 28 co-defendants are scheduled to make their first appearance Friday morning before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, who is handling the case. The hearing is expected to involve routine legal matters, although federal prosecutors disclosed in court papers Thursday that they plan to add charges in the case, including possibly racketeering against some defendants, in the next few months.
Serra stressed that he considers the overall case against Yee and the other defendants an example of "overreaching by the government," saying the state senator has "a great entrapment case."
But Serra's primary argument is that law enforcement officials tried for years to bust Chow, and needed undercover agents luring him with cash and drug deals to build a case against an ex-felon who his supporters say had reformed.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag declined to comment on Serra's defense.
In a sweeping federal indictment, prosecutors offer a very different picture of Chow, describing him as the leader, or "Dragonhead," of an Asian organization called the Chee Kung Tong that law enforcement agents say was involved in drug and gun trafficking and money laundering, as well as trafficking in stolen booze and cigarettes. Chow is specifically charged with money laundering and trafficking in stolen goods.
The 54-year-old Chow has a long criminal history, serving time in federal prison for racketeering and other crimes. He was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison in 2000, but served only three years after cooperating in the government's case against reputed Asian organized crime figure Peter Chong.
Chow over the past four years allegedly accepted thousands of dollars in cash from undercover FBI agents for a variety of crimes, according to court papers. But his lawyers point to statements Chow made suggesting he tried to steer clear of crime, such as telling an undercover agent at one point: "That's terrible dude, I don't want to know that, that's illegal stuff."
The government's undercover probe into Chow's organization led to Yee, who was connected indirectly by Keith Jackson, a San Francisco political consultant involved in dealings with Chow and his organization.
The only charge against Yee that specifically connects him to Chow is an allegation he accepted a bribe from an undercover operative to sponsor a resolution lauding Chow's organization. "There is no nexus, no relationship whatsoever" between Chow and Yee, Serra said Thursday.
Chow's supporters say he has been unfairly targeted because of his past, and that he has worked with youths in the city's Asian community to keep them out of trouble.
"He would not do any of these things," said Eli Crawford, an ex-con who says he is close friends with Chow and has worked with him to curb gang violence.

Minnesota Governor Creates Office of Energy Security, Announces Energy Initiatives
January 21, 2008
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty signed an executive order on January 17 creating the Minnesota Office of Energy Security within the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which serves as the state's energy office. Pawlenty also signed an executive order creating a collaborative that will guide the state in meeting its renewable energy goals. He also proposed two initiatives that will require approval by the legislature — one that will plan for carbon credit trading and another to assist homeowners, farmers, and businesses in implementing small-scale renewable energy generation.
The Office of Energy Security will give the public easier access to energy information and technical assistance. The new office will be housed in and receive administrative support from the Department of Commerce, a change which Pawlenty says will incur no fiscal impact.
The governor appointed Commerce Department Deputy Commissioner Edward Garvey as director of the new office. Garvey is tasked with coordinating energy and climate issues throughout the administration.
The governor also created the Clean Energy Technology Collaborative (CETC) by executive order. This group of 15 members appointed by the governor will develop a Clean Energy Technology Roadmap to guide research and development. The roadmap will include a plan and milestones to help ensure Minnesota achieves its clean energy goals.
Among those goals are the 25 x '25 renewable energy standard that requires 25 percent of the state's energy to come from renewable sources by 2025.
CETC members will include scientists from industry and academia. The Director of the Office of Energy Security and Commissioners of Agriculture, Employment and Economic Development, and the Pollution Control Agency will serve as ex officio members.
Pawlenty is also proposing two initiatives to the state legislature.
One of those initiatives is creation of the Carbon Market Planning Authority (CMPA) within the new Office of Energy Security. The CMPA would help plan for and foster opportunities created by the anticipated production of carbon credits. Such credits could be sold in developing regional, national, or global carbon trading programs.
"While it's still too early to know exactly how the carbon credit market will develop, it's not too early to prepare for the emergence of markets," Pawlenty said.
CMPA would be chaired by the Director of the Office of Energy Security and include six at-large members appointed by the governor, along with the Commissioners of the Pollution Control Agency, Employment and Economic Development, Finance, and Agriculture.
The second initiative the governor is proposing is the Minnesota Local Renewable Energy Initiative. Its goal is to assist homeowners, small businesses, farmers, and community institutions in utilizing solar, wind, and geothermal sources. The initiative would enable "micro-energy" technologies, such as solar collectors for hot water and electricity, small windmills, geothermal heating and cooling, and anaerobic gas digesters. The state would provide funding through revenue bonds for long-term, low-interest loans.
"Minnesotans want to play a greater role in the ownership and production of the energy they use in their homes, farms and small businesses," Governor Pawlenty said. "This effort will promote energy independence while providing local jobs and strengthening our economy."
For more information, see the governor's January 17 press release.
