BERKELEY -- Linebacker Michael Barton said the Cal football team will try to match Stanford's physical play Saturday, but admitted it may take more than that to pull off the biggest upset in Big Game history.
"We need a little bit of magic," Barton said. "In games like this, something spectacular always happens. If the ball rolls our way a few times, we'll be all right as long as we play sound football."
Cal (1-10, 0-8 Pac-12), without a win this season against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent, is a 311/2-point underdog -- believed to be the biggest point spread in the 116-year history of the rivalry.
"I think everybody in the organization loves it, just to be in position to shock the world," Barton said.
Freshman quarterback Jared Goff said there is a little more energy than usual at practice this week.
"No one really thinks we have a chance. That's not what we think inside our team," he said. "We have nothing to lose. We're just going to go in there and fight our (butt) off."
Cal wideout Bryce Treggs said this is about family pride. Bryce and father Brian, who played for the Bears from 1988 through '91, are 0-4-1 against the Cardinal.
"I think it was a pretty big scar," Bryce said. "I remember one time (1991) when he played Stanford, he promised he would move to Palo Alto if he didn't win. I would say that's the one blemish on his career."
But a huge test looms.
Coach Sonny Dykes is curious to see how his young offensive line fares against Stanford, whose defense allows just 91.6 rushing yards per game, tied for third-best in the country.
"I'm not naive enough to think we're going to line up and run for 300 yards," he said. "If we do, it will be a surprise to everybody, me included. But we think we've got some opportunities to run the ball."
So did Oregon, which was averaging more than 300 rushing yards per game when it was held to 62 at Stanford two weeks ago. USC rushed 27 times for 23 yards on Saturday -- an average of 31 inches per carry.
While Cal starts three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior on its offensive line. Stanford's defensive front seven features six seniors -- three of them in their fifth year -- and a junior.
"They're big and they're long. They get off blocks and tackle as well as anybody," Dykes said. "They're what you would expect from a very mature team."
"He's a get-it-done guy. I mean it in the highest sense of flattery," Dykes said. "The best thing you can say about a quarterback is he gets it done. If he needs to run the ball 3 yards to get a first down, he runs 31/2 yards.
"He figures out ways to win football games. The statistics don't mean much. Stanford's not trying to have the No. 1 offense in football. They're trying to have the No. 1 team."
The Bears kept Dozier on the left side all game, instead of giving the assignment to Kam Jackson, their best healthy corner. Dykes said a safety was positioned nearby to give Dozier help in just his third start.
But the Buffaloes made moves to draw the safety away, and Dykes pointed to a 39-yard play Richardson made on an underthrown ball against solid coverage by Dozier.
"Cedric got a little rattled after that," Dykes said. "There shouldn't have been too many one-on-one matchups. Unfortunately for us, when there was, (Richardson) made a play."

The Puget Sound women's basketball team held off a second-half Southern Oregon rally to defeat the Raiders 93-81 Sunday afternoon in the final game of the 2012 Flagship Inn Classic at Bob Riehm Arena.
Southern Oregon's first loss drops the Raiders' season record to 4-1, while Puget Sound improves to 7-1 with the win. The Raiders return to action today for a nonconference road game against Pacific Union at 5 p.m.
Melissa Sweat scored 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting to lead SOU and added a team-best six rebounds. Angelica Cahee scored 15 points, while Allison Gida finished with 14 points and Alexi Smith tallied 12.
Ashland native Kelsey McKinnis scored a game-high and personal-best 36 points to lead Puget Sound, adding eight rebounds in the win. Erin Sumbaugh finished with 15 points, while Olivia Roberts totaled 11 and Sarah Stewart tallied 10.
After a 12-12 tie score less than six minutes into the game, Puget Sound used a 27-10 run to pull ahead by 17 points late in the opening half. A 46-30 halftime score gave way to UPS' largest lead of the game three minutes into the second period, when a Katy Ainslie jumper put the Loggers up 53-35.
Gida made a layup on the other end to spark a 21-7 rally that brought SOU within four at 60-56 with nine minutes to play. The Loggers responded with a nine-point streak to stretch their lead back to double-digits, but the Raiders again rallied to within four on a layup by Sweat with five minutes remaining.
Another UPS run put the Loggers up nine with 3:14 to go, but the Raiders had one more rally in them and pulled to 81-77 in the final two minutes. From that point, the visitors made 12 of 14 free throw attempts to put the game away and earn the hard-fought victory.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The crime -- unthinkable. The hurt -- unbearable. And we still don't know why it happened.
Newtown investigators say they haven't found any journal entries, letters or any motive.
They don't know why 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed his own mother and then drove to her school before killing 20 first graders and six other people before turning the gun on himself. The only thing they can say is that he was disturbed.
"We need to go back and dissect some of these events and figure out where did it go wrong, what might have been done differently," said Dr. Tom Bornemann, director of the Carter Center's Mental Health Program.
Bornemann says he hopes what happened in Connecticut is a wake-up call for every family and every government agency, including ones in Georgia.
"So that in the future, we can kind of anticipate when someone's getting in trouble, having difficulty living in the community in a safe way, what are our options to intervene and intervene in a more timely manner," said Frank Berry, commissioner for the Georgia Department of Health and Behavioral Disabilities.
"We need to do a better job of earlier intervention and earlier detection, and then we can provide resources, so that hopefully these things won't happen in the future," Berry said.
A big clue something's wrong sometimes isn't what a mentally ill person says -- it's what they don't say.
"Isolation, are there stressful environments that a young person is experiencing, have they been socially isolated?" Berry said.
That could have been a warning sign with Lanza.
"Hopefully it will engender a real discussion about what needs to be done going forward," Bornemann said.

Braddahs - you haven't felt freedom til you rip pave barefoot on the Carver in front of your favorite break. If you thought the surfskate was the perfect mechanical supplement to surfing, well riding it with naked feets triples that real feel.

Long-time forum creeper, first-time poster:
I live in the Baltimore area and was looking for something to keep me sane when I don't have the time/money/stoke to drive to the often fickle OCMD. Bought a Loaded Dervish used from a kid a while back and thought it would be the best skateboard that shares some surf-like qualities... until I saw this thread about Carver boards.
I used to skateboard when I was younger, so I've had fun cruising around and playing with the flex of the Dervish. I'm able to walk tail to nose a little too, and I've had mediocre success sliding. However, I don't see myself bombing many hills or pushing the limit on carving and sliding at fast speeds - falling on concrete at those speeds just aint worth it IMO.
I have the board up for sale on craigslist now (linked below). My question: given the above, would a Carver board be that much different/offer more fun with less risk of breaking my wrist or tearing me up on asphalt? Maybe I'm just a sissy and aren't cut out for dryland boarding anymore? I've seen videos and those Carver trucks look unreal.
Here the posting for the Dervish: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/spo/4533338840.html
I know it's pricey. Willing to settle for $200 or trade for an equivalent Carver.

The carver is going to be different that what you are used to. At first it basically felt like the front truck was barley attached to the board. After you spend a couple of hours on it, it becomes your best friend. Im not going to say there is less risk of injury, it was sketchy at first for myself, but I love it now and can't/won't go back to standard trucks. When you get more cozy on it you will be able to take higher speed and throw some nice slides... grab the rail and dip into turns etc.. it is the bomb. I have a tantien and it colelcts dust now. I use it to SUP with my homemade paddle lol.... deff get the carver.
On another note, I need wheels bro's. Mostly for street. Someone link me to a nice wheel. Was thinking of going with a 4president Otangs but I kinda want to try a different brand. I like the 70mm size and am cool with an 83a duro.. if anything i would go a little harder not softer (no homo)...

OldSoul - I just threw on Pink Seven O's 70mm 81a (the blue ones, not pink, but they're called "Pink") two days ago after my Roundhouse wheels were so gnarly from thousands of hours and miles that I was able to slide them too much and they weren't grabbing as well for propulsion. When you go back to fresh wheels and don't slide automatically on a hard pump (I shove tail and throw arms on most hard pumps - keep it full body movement) it's kind of weird! Also sounds different and almost synthetic. These are square lip just like the Roundhouses. I rolled with the O-tang Kilmers in the fall and those are way slidier and also round lip.
I've been hitting hills and just carving them, not needing to boardslide for braking. Carving a fair incline at 20-30mph isn't bad at all once you've got the handle on these beasts. I don't fall too much anymore because of all the sand, ice, snow, rocks, potholes and such that I encounter Carving 52wks/yr, and when I'm about to these days it's more of a safety runoff. A major key to falling the right way on the Carver is to have front foot pointed more forward than perpendicular just like your surf stance. You fall when your toes are towards the rail and you're bumming - landing right on the hip.
MA - My inbox regurgitates on itself daily here. I try to keep it clean but there are too many valuable or funny PMs from members that I keep on file for reference. Tons of great info guys have given me. Hollar at me again, we can talk about the Pintail.
metard, you get on a C7 yet bro?
mrcoop, where's the latest vid from you?
Between work and wahines and surfing (when possible), this isn't a big Carver month for me but I'm still getting 3-5 hours a week on it. Pretty stoked to crank it up in August when we get some pro footage with my bud's film crew with drones overhead and all sorts of moving cams. Will be the dope show on the coastal routes and some local parks plus traditional skate vid antics around town.
Even when I'm too busy for a full sesh in a day I still hit the store or sammich shop at lunch or go do some errand so I can get pumping on pave. It's kind of like a cigarette for me, I can't go too long throughout the day without a few minutes on the Carver. Big kid recess.
In the winter, I'm pushing 3-5 hours a day because of cabin fever and on west coast trips sometimes 5+ in a day if the surf's not up and Honeyton dtown pave is macking. Boom.

Main Page | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Screening | Reducing Your Risk | Talking to Your Doctor | Resource Guide
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms. If symptoms suggest pneumonia, your doctor will ask about your medical history, travel history, and other related exposures. This information may suggest what caused your pneumonia. A physical exam usually includes tapping on your chest and back. This may identify the presence of fluid or air trapped in your lungs. The doctor will also listen carefully to your chest and back with a stethoscope.
Your doctor may choose to order a variety of tests, such as:
Blood Tests —Complete blood count including the number and types of white blood cells may help determine whether you have a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.
Blood Culture —This involves sending a blood sample to a laboratory where it can be processed to see if any organisms are growing. If there are organisms, they can often be identified, and tests can be run to determine what types of antibiotics can best eliminate them.
Urine Antigen Tests —This involves giving a urine sample to look for certain bacteria that could be causing the infection.
Pulse Oximetry —This test measures the amount of oxygen in your blood to get a sense of how ill you are.
Arterial Blood Gas —This blood test measures the concentration of certain substances in your blood, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH. This test may be performed to determine whether you will be able to continue breathing on your own, or whether you may need treatment with additional oxygen or mechanical ventilation.
Sputum Culture —If you're able to cough up a sample of sputum, it can be sent to a laboratory to examine it for the presence of specific organisms. If there are organisms in the sputum, they can often be identified, and a specific antibiotic can be ordered for you.
Chest X-ray —Chest x-ray may reveal signs of pneumonia. However, sometimes a patient will have clear-cut symptoms and signs of pneumonia on physical exam with a clear x-ray for the first couple of days. This may be the case if a patient is dehydrated.
Lung Ultrasound —An ultrasound may reveal signs of pneumonia. However, it may not detect a small percentage of lesions.
CT Scan —This imaging procedure may be required in some cases.
Bronchoscopy —In this procedure, a narrow, lighted scope is passed through your mouth or nose, down your bronchial tubes, and into your lungs. Your healthcare provider can examine your respiratory tract for signs of pneumonia. Samples of fluid and biopsies of tissue can be taken through the bronchoscope. These samples can be processed and examined in a laboratory to try to identify organisms that might be causing your pneumonia. This test is does not usually need to be performed.
Thoracentesis (Pleural Fluid Aspiration) —This invasive procedure is performed if pneumonia is complicated by fluid accumulation in the lung (pleural effusions). A needle can be passed through the chest, back, or between the ribs in order to withdraw excess fluid in the chest cavity. This fluid can be examined in a laboratory to identify organisms responsible for the pneumonia.

The rules under which the industry has operated and the way it has evolved since its inception have largely been obliterated. A confluence of powerful forces including global economic trends, policy changes, healthcare reform, and technological advances have transformed the way in which companies need to operate to be successful.
Biotech executives are currently writing their new "play book" in response. It is clear that the business models that were used to create current value are no longer going to be effective going forward. Companies have to adapt to a risk-averse environment where capital, while still available, has become much more difficult to access.During the past two years, we have seen investment banks fail, hedge funds and private equity investors closing their doors, and the public equity markets spiral down, out of control. Venture investors, often the umbilical cord of food for the industry, long provided the lifeblood for young biotechnology companies, but the model is more challenged today.
Companies have taken a variety of alternative approaches to access capital, such as turning to registered direct offerings, selling future product royalty streams, and selling options to promising compounds. In addition, because biotech companies are competing in an investment-constrained environment they often only have sufficient funds to complete one phase of a project successfully before building the capabilities required to move their project through the next phase. This is why companies are beginning to adapt their business models to a more virtually integrated one. This involves developing a network of third parties that provide services such as contract development, manufacturing and sales, all supported and managed by lean, in-house "coordinating" departments.
The successful companies of tomorrow will be virtually oriented and globally focused. The evolution of a more "virtual" business model means that companies can piece together the resources they need as they go. As a result, venture investors are now looking for alternative structures with which to build value (virtual companies, proof-of-concept (POC) financing of projects, building companies post-POC, etc.).
With capital in short supply, many biotech companies have been showcasing their best assets and shelving others. We have seen a huge surge in partnering deals during the past 12 months and product partnerships will continue, but in a buyer's market, only those opportunities that are particularly strategic will be considered. The leverage recently gained by biotech firms in negotiating advantageous deal terms will decline; Meanwhile option-based approaches that keep much of the program risk with the originator will increase in popularity.
Although financial markets and potential partners at home may be lukewarm about the potential value of technologies and products, emerging markets could place on them a much greater value. Smart companies will look outside their borders. They also will think strategically about the value their products may hold in different markets.

The Front must have been 120 degrees inside that night. I recall spending the majority of this gig standing directly in front of the huge fan that usually was set up to the right of the stage near the exit door.
This night featured a couple of special moments. Rocky Top was played in honor of the Drebbers, who had gotten married a few days earlier. The happy couple was planning a move to Oregon, and apparently Rocky Top was performed to "bring up the flavor of Oregon."
The second set included what could be considered a major milestone in the PHISH legacy. Nancy gave his farewell performance of Haley's Comet. He seemed initially reluctant to sing it, but with some coaxing, the words began to flow. He related to us all a dream that he had. It had to do with crawling through a hole in the wall and ending up on a big stage with four other guys. Obviously a touching rendition. Oh how I yearn for his return. The Dude is The Dude, but Nancy, well, there's no rational comparison. The man could move masses with his voice.
There was also an announcement made concerning the upcoming Townshend gig. But that's another review.

Shelton State women have top seed in ACCC tournament
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 12:05 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Along with an undefeated regular season, the Shelton State women's basketball team secured the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Alabama Community College Conference tournament at Wallace State Community College-Hanceville.
Shelton State is ranked fourth in the country and is the only undefeated team with a 29-0 record in the NJCAA Division I women's basketball poll.
The women's tournament begins Sunday with the championship game onWednesday. The Lady Buccaneers are the top seed from the North while Faulkner St. is the top seed in the South. With the top seed comes a first-round bye and the chance to get extra rest.
Shelton State coach Madonna Thompson is no stranger to postseason play. Thompson said the emotions will be running high once the games start.
"It's going to be somebody's last ball game," Thompson said. "For a lot of these kids, it will be the last game they will play in period. So there's a lot more effort and no one gives up at tournament time."
One of the Lady Buccaneers biggest strengths has been depth. The Lady Bucs go 14 deep and each player is able to come in and play just as well as the starters. Thompson said she isn't going to change much during the postseason.
"We like to keep things steady," Thompson said. "By this time, we know most of the teams like the back of our hands so we're not going to change a whole lot. We're going to continue to pressure the ball and wear people down. Knowledge of the other teams is going to be key."
Center Brianna Lancaster, who leads the team with 13 points and five rebounds per game, is confident in the Bucs' chances of winning a national championship this season.
"Yes, we really think this can be our year," Lancaster said. "If we can keep being relentless and give it our all every game, we think this could be our year."
Thompson echoed her star center's sentiments.
"We've got all of the components and we're deep at every position," Thompson said. "We have stars at every position. There's no doubt in my mind that we can win a national championship… Somebody's got to win it, why not us?"
The Lady Buccaneers return to action Monday to face the winner of LB Wallace and Snead State. Tipoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Oakland drivers who were led to believe that a strike Monday meant no parking enforcement on city streets got a rude awakening when a meter attendant decided to cross the picket line.
The worker, driving a city-issued car, was spotted ticketing cars in the vicinity of Broadway and 40th Street Monday morning. He refused to give his name to a reporter and said that he got paid well and didn't support the strike.
Parking enforcement officers are among the 3,500 full and part-time city workers staging a one-day strike after their contracts expired Sunday. Police and firefighters are still on the job.
In alerting residents to the strike, city leaders had sent out notices stating that there would be "no parking enforcement." However, the city can't stop workers from crossing the picket line.
Sean Maher, a spokesman for Mayor Jean Quan, confirmed that one meter maid, whose shift ends at 3 p.m., had decided to work Monday. He did not respond to questions about whether the tickets would be forgiven.

Fired police officer gets her job back
Published: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 5:52 p.m.
A fired Houma Police officer got her job back after a Civil Service hearing that lasted several months. Three board members voted in favor of Kristina Payne being reinstated after Chief Todd Duplantis decided to fire her for several alleged violations.
Payne was with the department for three and a half years, according to her performance evaluation forms. Duplantis recommended June 7 that she be fired, and Payne appealed the decision soon after, her attorney Jerri Smitko has said.
Duplantis declined to comment because it was a personnel matter.
Two of the five board members did not vote, Civil Service secretary Linda Loupe said. Board member Travis Theriot, who represents Houma Police, recused himself. The late board member Bill Morris died in December, and his replacement Skip Bourdier could not vote because he was not present for the hearing's first meetings.
Payne was laid off after a lieutenant filed a complaint against her in April, Smitko has said.
The complaint was filed after Payne, a black woman, questioned why a Houma Police officer charged a black man with driving while intoxicated and not a white woman the night before, according to Duplantis' recommendation to Parish President Michel Claudet, which Smitko obtained by subpoena. Payne also called the officer a racist, the recommendation said.
The officer responded that the woman was not drunk. Payne never interacted with that woman, Smitko has said.
The Civil Service board began hearing Payne's appeal in November. Although board members reinstated Payne, they also decided Payne was not due the wages she would have earned had she not been fired, Loupe said.
Although he wouldn't comment, Duplantis did acknowledge there are three pending lawsuits against the Houma Police Department, all employees alleging mistreatment: Capt. Milton Wolfe Jr., Sgt. Kyle Faulk and Thomas Rhodes.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - The Union women's basketball team suffered yet another setback on Saturday, dropping a 67-32 Appalachian Athletic Conference decision to visiting Tennessee Wesleyan.
The loss drops Union to 14-7 overall and 7-4 in league play, while Tennessee Wesleyan improves to 12-8 overall and 9-2 in the AAC.
Playing its second game in a row without senior Lindsey Waters, Union recorded its lowest point total of the season as it registered its two lowest scoring halves of the season. Union netted 17 in the first half and only 15 in the second.
Offensively, Union struggled throughout the contest, making only 22.6 percent (12-of-53 shots) from the field and 10 percent (2-of-20) from 3-point range. Meanwhile, Tennessee Wesleyan connected on 42.2 percent (19-of-45) from the floor and hit 7-of-22 (31.8 percent) from behind the arc. Tennessee Wesleyan also made 71 percent (22-of-31) of its free throws, while Union went 6-for-9 at the charity stripe.
Tennessee Wesleyan led from wire-to-wire and the score was tied only twice at 2-2 and 4-4 early on. The visitors led by as much as 12 in the period, but Amber Taylor hit a jumper just before the half to make it 27-17.
In the second half, Union got the margin down to 29-21 after a Laura Perkins bucket with 18:18 left. However, Tennessee Wesleyan went on an 20-6 stretch to open up a 49-27 cushion at the 9:58 mark. Tennessee Wesleyan continued to pad its lead en route to recording the 67-32 decision.
No Union player scored in double figures as Perkins led the way with nine. Three others knocked in six points apiece.
For Tennessee Wesleyan, Cody Houck registered a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds, hitting 5-for-10 from long range. Courtney Gobble came off the bench to knock in 16 points, while Heather Gibson helped out with 11.
Tennessee Wesleyan dominated the glass, outrebounding Union 47-27.
Union returns to action Tuesday when it plays host to Reinhardt (Ga.) in conference play. Tip is set for 5:30 p.m.

AFC owners will pass their votes to Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt; NFC owners will pass their votes to New York Giants owner John Mara.
Frank Supovitz, the NFL's senior vice president for events, will tabulate the votes. If a host region does not score 75 percent of the votes, the owners will vote again. That vote would require only a simple majority -- 17 votes -- to declare the winner.
At 11 a.m. PDT, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will announce the winners at a news conference televised live on NFL Network, available live online to subscribers.

Guilty plea in drunken driving incident
January 12, 2013
A Marietta man will be spending six months in the Washington County Jail for an underage drunk driving incident that caused severe injuries to a female passenger. Trey Moats, 21, of 133 Ohio Blvd....
He was underage and drunk when he caused injury to the passenger. She was of age. Did she buy the alcohol for him? Was she also impaired? Did this cause her to use poor judgement in choosing to be a passenger in a car driven by a drunk driver? Just pointing out that accountability is a two-way street.
7 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Right on Tessie !!!
3 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Tess, We agree! An absolute perfect comment. The first for '13. ACCOUNTABILITY.... Now why is good for this girl, but you refuse to use it in all of your other liberal arguments. Anyway, you had a good one this go around.
Her drunkeness brought on her own problems as well. He needs smacked really hard by the law, but not by her or the others. No one in that group "had" to get in that car.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
She can't get out of bed but she sold her pills and is able to make it to the downtown bars. Hmm. Maybe you shouldn't buy alcohol for a minor and then proceed to get in the car and not wear a seatbelt. She is just as responsible as he. The judicial system in this area is whack.

FEATURE REQUEST: Firewire (DishWire)
Posted 18 December 2003 - 09:31 AM

HDTVs with Firewire or i.Link input are not "rare" as was claimed on one of the DISH Tech Chats . There are over fifty different Firewire models made by Sony, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, etc. They are all listed here:
It seems likely that there are far more homes with Firewire HDTVs right now than homes with D-VHS recorders.
Yes, DVI or HDMI will be the new HDTV connector standard, but many of us early adopters who will be buying the DVR-921 already spent a lot of on 2-year-old HDTVs, and they have Firewire and component input, not DVI.
Component video looks great, but it means I need to hook up five connectors (three for analog component video, two for analog stereo audio) from the 921 to my Sony KD-34XBR2 HDTV instead of just a single thin Firewire cable that does it all. Image and audio quality is supposed to be superior with Firewire since it's a pure digital stream all the way into the TV set.
Please, please support Firewire TVs with Dishwire , not just D-VHS recorders.

ViP211 to ReplayTV via S-Video

Knowing that the 921 would have Firewire outs was one of the main reasons I felt comfortable buying my TV, vs a DVI-only set. The TV is fully HAVI-compliant but unfortunately is not upgradeable to DVI.
So if Dishwire doesn't support output to display devices as I've read in some other posts, needless to say I will not be a happy camper. I am sure there are other "planners" out there like me who are in the same boat. If it doesn't, I may end up spending a bit more $$ and going the HTPC route instead.
Does anyone has any official word on whether or not when activated the Dishwire outs will support sending video to my Mits or other display devices with Firewire?? Any info is much appreciated, as I would hate to buy the 921 and find out several months later when Dishwire is activated that it won't.

I thought that quoting the VP of engineering as to E*'s support of HAVi/1394 was a fair post and I am dissapointed to see that you saw fit to delete it. It directly addressed the issue being discussed here. It's not a bitch, just inquiring as to whether there is a change in policy.
Posted 23 December 2003 - 07:20 PM
Posted 24 December 2003 - 10:17 AM
In order to facilitate the use of IEEE1394 for monitoring the 921's output, a 1394 port would have to be added to the output section of the 921 along with the DVI and analog outputs. This is a different hardware design than currently exists on the 921 board. No software request will effect a change to your 921 hardware.
In the original 211, it's 1394 was specifically designed in hardware to be an AV/C output with full 1394 protocol. It worked with 1394 monitors seamlessly. One may have also been able to record from it but the recording may have contained all OSD as well. It would not have been a clean program recording void of extra stuff in the current receivers. It's academic because the 211 was discontinued.
IF and that is a big IF, the 1394 monitor becomes a standard HDTV output protocol then we may have a chance for a future product, ie second generation 921 design to accommodate it. Currently the trend is in the direction of HDMI, not 1394. It is my understanding that all current 1394 Monitors made also have analog HDTV connections. So, your only concern should be if Dish someday decides to downrez the analog connection to that of DVD quality. Personally, I worry more about the continued compression softness of HDTV and the HDTV camera filter factor than I would the down rez possibility but then I have a nasty habit of avoiding conspiracy theories and rely on current practice and trends to predict future events probability. I don't see down rez or dumbing down of HDTV as a future concern, at least not at the STB receiver end of the chain.
I feel bad that so many bought into a technology that didn't catch on but we've all been there too. I know I have.
Mark, I feel this needed stated as many do not understand the difference between the current Dishwire hard drive dump function, its port, and what they are requesting as far as hardware design suggestion for a full OSD output 1394. If you feel this post is out of place, I respect your decision to edit it or remove it. Thanks.
Posted 24 December 2003 - 11:10 AM
This is rumor that I'm posting here, but I've heard from some inside sources that one of the dishwire ports may be used for monitor support, and the other used for DVHS support. That's just a rumor though - don't take it for fact, as I don't have confirmation.
Any guess as to how long the 1394 implementation will take? Is there any chance it will be implemented by say March 1st when the D*TiVo presumably will hit the market?
Posted 24 December 2003 - 12:00 PM
Posted 24 December 2003 - 02:43 PM
Thanks much for the additional technical info. I had a couple of questions, and some comments:
- where did you learn this? (i haven't had a chance to pore through all of the other boards so excuse me if this is answered elsewhere)
- what's your level of certainty about this? you sound authoritative, but i want to be sure as my decision to go with the current 921 will likely hinge on this fact.
I am with you that there is always a risk buying into a technology doesn't catch on. In this case I personally was never betting on one technology vs the other, but rather going directly off of repeated statements made last year by E* that the 921's version of Firewire would support output to display devices. I presume there are others that did this as well. Perhaps it was naive of us to believe them, but after many thousands of $$'s spent as a result I think we've at least earned the right to not be happy about it
You may be right about DVI/HDMI becoming the ultimate standard, but with the cable box Firewire mandate it appears that the jury's still out...it almost looks more likely that both will end up coexisting for some time, and future STB's will need to support both.
I really hope you are right about the downrez'ing issue, but there again I think the jury is still out. This issue is of course the only reason many of us are presently spending time worrying about what Dishwire will or will not do All HD sets I have seen have analog HD connections, as does mine, and I can certainly use it for now. I have never been one for conspiracy theories either, however IMHO it seems more risky to buy a set today that doesn't have some type of copy protected digital input, because there is certainly still a chance that you will get downrez'd in the future.
Regarding the other post about Mits not supporting a DVI upgrade, this has always been the case...the "promise module" was never intended for this purpose. This was something I was able to verify easily last year by calling Mits, prior to purchasing my set.
Posted 25 December 2003 - 04:25 PM
" ...rather going directly off of repeated statements made last year by E* that the 921's version of Firewire would support output to display devices. "
While I know this was stated often as points of discussion especially on AVS, I went to the source and E* reps categorically denied they ever claimed the dishwire, then called just "Firewire", would ever support display devices on the 921. They repeated it would only support selected DVHS VCR's for clean recording from the hard drive's program files. Only in the case of the 211 was that true. Many Mitsubishi and Sony display owners wanted to believe in a pipe dream, unfortunately.
BTW- the reason why the Dishwire™ name switch has to do with copyrights and trademark issues and nothing technical. We public call everything "Firewire" but while it has become an icon by the public, it is still a protected trademark owned by Apple.
"- what's your level of certainty about this?"
That's easy! I am very certain as to what I was told by the developers, in a face to face discussion! Not e-mail and not over the phone. I'm not special, anyone can go to CES and have a really great technical exchange with the people from Dish Network, ETC and Eldon if they will be here this year. Last year there were about 6-8 reps at CES explaining stuff about the 921
Considering the date of my info, it is quite possible that they redesigned the system to accommodate 1394 display devices but don't you think they would have added it to the specs by now? No, I think you all need to bank on using the analog 921 outputs with your 1394 monitors.
Two years ago I spoke face to face with the 921 project director for the 921. She, said that the 1394 port would support all three of the DVHS VCR's but as things change, it's JVC that has finally evolved this past year as being the only design that will be initially supported. This was a disappoint to me too because I owned Mits VCR and not JVC. But I respect the information I received that they were having problems working with the MIts system and therefore would not, initially support it. So, when we finally do get it, the original claim that the 921 would support the 3 VCR's (panasonic, Mits and JVC) has been reduced to just JVC. ( Note- there is also a Marantz DVHS today but it is using a JVC chassis so it should work as well but that is my opinion as I have no confirmation from E* that the Marrantz is in the testing and support list)

I will probably hold off on purchase until I can confirm that this connection will work.

Charts: Wide Range of Wealth in House Leadership
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor may be on his way out of a job, but don't feel too sorry for him financially – he has a hefty nest egg to rely on. House financial disclosures released Friday show Mr. Cantor, of Virginia, is worth at least $5.7 million – and at most, $19 million.
Six years ago, Mr. Cantor had about half that amount. His disclosures from 2008 show he was then worth between $2.4 million and $7 million. Since then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen 30% — a much lower growth rate than Mr. Cantor's finances have experienced.
Members of Congress are required to file annual personal financial disclosures, but they report their holdings in ranges, meaning an exact estimation of their assets isn't possible.
These disclosures are don't include assets such as primary residences unless the assets generate income, and also excludes federal retirement accounts.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.), who is currently vying to succeed Mr. Cantor in next week's election, has by far the fewest assets of any member of House GOP leadership. The California Republican is worth at least $76,000 and at most $266,000 – a significant jump from his total of $16,000 in 2008, but still significantly below the second-least wealthy, Rep. James Lankford. Mr. Lankford, the fifth-ranking Republican in the House, has at least $133,000 in assets.
House Speaker John Boehner is worth $2.3 million, up from $1.7 million in 2008.
Here's how members of House Republican leadership stack up:
Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) is expected to run for the spot of House Majority Whip in the event that Mr. McCarthy is promoted, and his filings show he is worth at least $446,000. But two other members expected to vie for the position have considerably fewer assets than Mr. McCarthy. Rep. Raul Labrador (R., Idaho) is worth at least $6,000, and Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) is worth at least $4,000.
On the Democratic side, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi blows every other member of House leadership out of the water, with $42 million in assets. Ms. Pelosi's husband, Paul, is an investor who has a stake worth at least $5 million in the United Football League. The two also own a number of pricey properties, including a house and vineyard in Napa, Calif., worth at least $5 million, and a property in San Francisco also worth at least $5 million.
Six years ago, Ms. Pelosi and her husband were worth about 60% of their value today.
Other members of Democratic leadership in the House are not nearly as wealthy. Rep. Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), the No. 2 Democrat in the House, has at least $15,000 in assets – the lowest of any leadership member in either party – and Rep. James Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat, is worth at least $210,000.
Here's how the House's top Democrats compare:
The representatives' offices didn't return requests for comment.

Very well organized, friendly and fun!
Packet pick-up night before was at a nice restaurant/bar, definitely a change from past editions.
The race shirt was long-sleeved, somewhat subdued but quite nice-looking; one I more likely to wear when the weather permits.
The race started pretty much on time; perhaps two minutes later than advertised...not a major issue with me, save for standing in the shade (chill).
The courses, while fairly accurate, are not certified, which can be a disappointment for runners looking for an early season PR or trying to qualify for some of the bigger road races which require a qualifying time for seeding purposes. Mile splits were clearly marked, and race volunteers were at many if not all of the intersections and turn points on the course. There were also time clocks at the 5-kilometer (outbound) and mid-point on the HM course. Aid stations were well manned; some stations had water and sports drink; some had water only.
The finish area was well-covered, with music, light snacks and water. Timing and scoring was fairly quick and posted at the post-race venue. The finish medals were attractive, and the awards looked to be of decent quality.
The post race venue was outdoors but covered and protected from the elements (which on a day like today was not too bad), plenty of music and room to socialize. Massage/stretching was also available from a chiropractic group. My only disappointment with this event was a lack of food available for half-marathon finishers during the post race (there was no lack of beer, on the other hand). However, this event is not the only one which has suffered from this issue.
As a whole, this event is (re)shaping up to be a good beginning-of-the-year, knock-off-the-holiday-rust run for runners of all ability levels in the area. The race directors have started to think beyond previous traditions and have made incremental changes which have not alienated the traditional demographic for the run. Hopefully they will consider remedies to the few shortcomings which are brought forward.
Great run and fun!!!
This was only my second "official" race that I've participated in, so my suggestions are coming from a newbie. I thought this race was very well-organized, had plenty of volunteers and post-race food/drink. The course was well-marked. The only issues I had were:
1. Could not hear the announcer AT ALL. There was quite a bit of activity at the start line such as announcements, national anthem, cheerleaders, etc., but those of use in the middle to back of the crowd could not hear a thing.
2. This next issue is probably due in part to the fact that those not in the front couldn't hear, but as we were starting out, they asked the walkers to step aside and let the runners go first. It made for a slow start as runners had to dodge around walkers who were cutting across to the sides to get out of the way.
3. Staggering the start would have improved the race. I was running 5K but got stuck in a crowd of 10K runners going at a slower pace than I would have liked. They may have announced that the 5K runners should start at the front and the 10K/half-marathoners toward the back, but if they did, no one heard it. It would be helpful to have that kind of information, and any other important race information, on a sheet that is handed out at registration.
4. This is something I noticed missing at the first race I ran, and was also missing in this race, so maybe it is not typically considered in this kind of race. I think it would help cut down on the "cheat" factor to have volunteers posted at the turn-around point of an out-and-back race to give each runner a little "flag" or some other small item to signify that they actually ran to the halfway point before turning around. I didn't see it happening in this race, but in the first race I ran in, people were turning around before they got to the halfway point, and no one was the wiser except those of us who witnessed it. It would really help to eliminate that kind of problem if each person had to show some kind of tag or something at the finish line to prove that they really ran to the halfway point and back.
All in all, this was a fun race, well-organized, and I look forward to the next one!
I have done this race the last 4 years and the 2011 version is the best thus far.
Packet pickup and expo were classed up quite a bit. Grand Marlin is a great venue.
T-shirts are vastly improved. Seems to be a better quality shirt than before. Design is great and I love the color.
I agree, the start was difficult to hear the announcements. I was running from the middle-back of pack and was relying on others ahead of me to determine what was going on up front as the pre-race routine unfolded.
By all accounts the course was spot on as far as measurement. I had it at 13.14 miles. Accounting for me dodging other runners and hitting the water stops (not running the tangents) I figure the official course was 13.10 miles on the button.
Water/support stations were well-staffed and also offered words of encouragement. The Running Wild stop was probably the most-spirited.
PA system and announcements at finish were great. Easy to hear your name as you crossed the line. The finishing chute was a nice upgrade too.
Medals are good quality. I like the logoed ribbon - name of race and date. Nice touch.
Timing was perfect. Mats were well-placed. Perhaps if a mat could be added at the start line to offer runners "chip times" as there is about a 45 second delay between gun time and crossing the start line if you begin in the back of the crowd.
Not much to complain about. A well-run event that I will look forward to returning to each hear. Keep up the strong work and I bet the event grows every year.
My 1st time participating in this event.
No separate gun/chip time
Event appeared well organized. Nice touch with the National Anthem prior to the start.
Others complained of not hearing key announcements. My guess is that the PA system was set up to cover the immediate area only, not surrounding parking lot and bathroom area.
Course was flat and fairly accurate but my Garmin measured the 10K as 6.25 miles.
There was people at key points (water and turn around points) who were encouraging the runners.
This is not a big production with lots of music and bands along the course.
IRT D.D.'s Garmin v. course distance comment: I measure many of the run courses around this area for USATF certification. It's tough to get multi-distance races (unless you go straight out/back) to begin and end at the exact same location. Some courses are going to end up longer than desired in order to make all courses the advertised distance at the least. Garmin GPS units have a single point margin of error of up to 20 meters, so you can stand still, start your GPS and be considered anywhere within 68 feet of where you "really" are. Most Garmin units take a reading every two seconds (the older ones can be set for one second), so movement and turns can only confound the measurement.
IRT "volunteers cheering on": Does that include the young lady sitting curled up in the folding chair at 10th and Maldonado? She looked more worn out than I did, and I had run 12+ miles by that point.
Overall...a good event. Good show, guys.
This was a great run to kick of the 2011 running year. Fast track out and back.
Cheerleaders and National Anthem at the start was a nice addition. PA announcements were very hard to hear more than 25 yards from the announcer.
Aid stations were well manned and very supportive. Timing mats well placed and course workers at nearly every corner. Very well done.
I've ran this course last spring in the inaugural Gulf Coast 1/2 Marathon and this layout worked a bit better than last springs.
T-shirt was very nice, a bit subdued but one that I'll wear more often than most. Award ceremony was great but a bit long due to the number of events incorporated in this run.
No shortage of beer but food was scarce (free food that is) There were plenty of orange slices, bananas (some still slighty frozen) and water at the finish. But nothing more sustantial.
Overall, a very good event and one that I'd highly recommend for the fast course and excellent race support.
(IRT rsmith9999's comment - this is not the same course as the Gulf Coast Half Marathon. Gulf Coast Half is certified and the course map can be found at http://www.usatf.org/events/courses/maps/showMap.asp?courseID=FL10050EBM. The Pensacola Beach Run courses, while fairly accurate, are not USATF certified.)
The race day was awesome. Could not ask for better weather. Next year I will do the Half Marathon. I did the 5K walk. The after party I'm sure was fun, but I had to go to work at 10 a.m. Next year I'll take off . Want the P'Beach medal !
There MUST be a person at the 10K turn around point next year! There was not even a cone there... just a sign sitting on the side of the rode saying turn around point. I did my U turn there and then saw everyone else turning around WAY before that turn around point. People were even turning around at the 3 mile sign!! NO FAIR! I did the half marathon last year and saw the same thing happening at that turn around point. Why do people in Pensacola cheat like that?
The beer flowed nicely at the awards party afterwards... exhausted runners had to be really careful crossing the street to get to the party. The awards ceremony was WAY too long. Start the 5 K and walking awards when those races are over. and consider having it all in the same parking lot as the race start/finish. More people would attend.
I ran the 10k and overall it was a pretty good race. The weather was really nice, about 50* and sunny. The course was flat and well marked. There were water stations at good intervals and plenty of volunteers. I really like the tshirt and it's definitely something I'll wear. The only problem I had with this race was that they only awarded finishers medals for the half marathon. All racers paid the same amount, regardless of distance, and I've always gotten medals for 10k's! So that was a big disappointment crossing the finish line and only being handed a bottle of water. I didn't stay for the after party, but the race was alright.
My first half-marathon. The race was about me finishing, not bands, beer, PA systems or cheats. To that end I am completely satisfied. I think the organizers ran a smooth event and the volunteers were very friendly and supportive. To those commenting people were turning around early - maybe my memory is going but I recall crossing electronic chip readers at the 10k and halfway points on the half-marathon. So not sure how you could cheat on those. Did not stay for afterparty I was looking forward to a carb buffet. Thank you PRA - I'll see you next year!
PS- watch RunKeeper.com someone is plugging in all your races. grin
PPS- the links for the 2 runs after the Bay to Breakfast on your website are not letting me register / get more info. ?
This was my second 10k. I enjoyed the race overall. The weather the was great and there was great encouragement from both spectators and runners. I will agree that the 10k turn-around could have been more clear. I think I went a little bit further then I was supposed to before I turned around and that this added maybe 30 seconds to my time. However, I still shaved 28 seconds off of my previous 10k time. Special thanks to the woman who finished right next to me and kept me on pace in the last mile by encouraging me on!

WALNUT CREEK -- An autopsy report released Wednesday of an elderly woman who wandered away from her Concord care facility in September showed she died of heat stroke, and now her family is looking to police to help ensure such a situation never happens again.
Yolanda Membreno, 86, was under the care of Julia's Home, a board and care senior facility in Concord, when she wandered out of the home Sept. 30 and was later found dead at a park just over a block away.
Membreno, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and dementia, was otherwise in top physical condition when she died, according to her daughter-in-law Sabrina Sanchez.
"Am I out for vengeance? No," Sanchez said. "I want to make sure that those who are in this type of business have the wherewithal to take care of their patients. I want the police to do their due diligence and really look at this."
Roy Roberto, who runs Julia's Home, said he could not immediately comment on the matter.
Currently, while facility staff are required to contact the state right away when someone leaves and may be in danger, there is no mandate for them to call police.
But attorney Michael Cordoza, who is representing the Sanchez family, said that hopefully will change.
Cordoza said he is looking to the police to move forward with the investigation now that they have the autopsy report and to possibly criminally prosecute those who run the care facility.
"There needs to be something that has got to make them report it (to police), otherwise they are going to dawdle and people are going to die," he said. "There is nothing we can do now about (Membreno's) death, but what else is going on in that home? In other homes?"
Gus Sanchez, Membreno's son, said he and his wife had interviewed multiple care facilities before choosing Julia's as the place for Membreno to stay.
"(Seniors) deserve to die with dignity," Gus Sanchez said. "I can only imagine what her thoughts were....Sometimes, it becomes a little bit too much. I was prepared for her pass away. She was already up there at age 86, but the way she passed, it haunts me."

Leeds United Message Board
Last of the nSeason
Well what can I say. Another year of disappointment, but hey ho life goes on.
Despite my resolve not to make any predictions I am afraid I think we will get wolloped 3-0 at Watford, who won't want to miss their chance of auto-promo.
To think that we played them in the play off final in our first year of relegation, the gap has widened enormously. They do seem to be seem to be going about things in a unique way, and good luck to them.
Somewhat astounded by some of the kids who have been let go only a year after they were hailed as very bright prospects,Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Well I kept up my useless predictions, and very pleased I am too.
After watching the match we were excellent defensively, but still too much hoofball for me. Watford showed how to pass the ball out of defense which although they lost the game seemed more effective to me.
Am I going to be answering all my own posts now as everyone seems to have vanished?

Julia Tyler First Spouse $10 Gold Coin
First Lady, 1844–1845
The young and vivacious Julia Gardiner Tyler took Washington by storm with her wedding to widower President John Tyler on June 26, 1844. Although she was First Lady for only eight months, she quickly made her mark. James Sanderson's song "Hail to the Chief" had previously been played in various settings to honor American Presidents, but Julia Tyler was the first presidential spouse to request that it be played specifically to announce the President's arrival on official occasions. It's a tradition that continues to this day.
Julia Tyler worked hard to support her husband's political agenda, especially for the annexation of Texas. Julia used her considerable charm to persuade Members of Congress, a Supreme Court justice and cabinet members to support the cause. After Congress voted in favor of annexation and the President signed the resolution, he handed the gold pen he used to Julia in honor of her efforts. She proudly attached the pen to her necklace and wore it on formal occasions afterwards.
Reverse Design
Julia Tyler introduced the polka at a White House social event, making it a national craze. The reverse depicts President and Mrs. Tyler together at a White House Ball.
Obverse: JULIA TYLER, IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY, 2009, 10th and 1844–1845.
Reverse: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $10, 1/2 OZ. and .9999 FINE GOLD.

SANTA CLARA -- Coach Jim Harbaugh isn't the only one endorsing David Akers as the 49ers kicker for Super Bowl XLVII, even if Harbaugh's vote counts most.
All three kickers from the 49ers' five Super Bowl-winning teams are pledging support, too.
"No way they should make a change. Dave's a great kicker," Ray Wersching said Tuesday by phone from his San Carlos home. "If I had an opportunity to talk to him, I'd tell him he's not just good but great."
Wersching kicked in the 49ers' first two Super Bowl wins, and he's willing to bet that Akers can win his first ring Feb. 3 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Also pro-Akers is Doug Brien, who kicked in the 49ers' last Super Bowl win 18 years ago -- a 49-26 rout of the San Diego Chargers.
"If you had to take a kicker to be out there for you in a Super Bowl, there's not many guys I'd pick above David Akers," Brien said Tuesday.
When the 49ers considered replacing Akers with Billy Cundiff before their Jan. 12 playoff opener, former 49ers kicker Mike Cofer surfaced on a Bay Area radio station and recalled his own up-and-down career. Cofer sided with keeping Akers, telling 95.7 The Game he was "in his court."
Akers is in the midst of an extremely bittersweet season, as evidenced Sunday when the 49ers clinched the NFC title with a 28-24 win at Atlanta.
As Akers' teammates ran off the sideline to celebrate their Super Bowl berth, he calmly walked in their wake, and he was one of the first players to leave the joyous locker room.
That game was the first in his two-season tenure with the 49ers in which he did not kick a field goal. His only attempt, from 38 yards, clanked off the top of the left upright, his 14th miss in his past 38 attempts.
"It's all mental. The guy's got an unbelievable leg," Wersching said. "That stroke is not off very much. He hits the top of the upright -- that's tough to do."
As distraught as Akers might feel, he shouldn't openly express that, according to Wersching, who famously ignored his surroundings by never looking at the uprights when he went out to kick.
Akers enjoyed record-setting production last season upon his 49ers arrival, making 44 of 52 field-goal attempts.
"I'm a big fan of his, with that terrific career and unbelievable (2011) year," Brien said. "Unfortunately the law of averages always comes back at some point. He hit a little bit of a rough patch."
Akers has kicked in a Super Bowl before, but he didn't attempt a field goal as the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles fell to the New England Patriots 24-21 in Jacksonville, Fla.
The 49ers won their five Super Bowls by margins of 5, 22, 4, 45 and 23 points. Not once did they rely on kicker to make a winning field goal.
Both Wersching and Brien are anticipating a close game against the Ravens, who defeated the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving Night last season in Baltimore.
"I'd love nothing more than for David to go out there and have a big impact," Brian said. "And that would bookend his season, with the (record-tying) 63-yarder he made to start the season."
get the floats ready
San Francisco Giants players are hoping their football counterparts get a chance to experience a title parade.

7.3-2 Patronizing a Prostitute -- § 53a-83
Revised to December 1, 2007 (modified November 6, 2014)
The defendant is charged [in count __] with patronizing a prostitute. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of patronizing a prostitute when <insert appropriate subsection:>1
§ 53a-83 (a) (1): pursuant to a prior understanding, (he/she) pays a fee to another person as compensation for such person or a third person having engaged in sexual conduct with (him/her).
§ 53a-83 (a) (2): (he/she) pays or agrees to pay a fee to another person pursuant to an understanding that in return therefor such person or a third person will engage in sexual conduct with (him/her).
§ 53a-83 (a) (3): (he/she) solicits or requests another person to engage in sexual conduct with (him/her) in return for a fee.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant (paid / agreed to pay / offered to pay) a fee in exchange for an agreement to engage in sexual conduct. Gratuitous sex is not within the purview of the statute.
This law applies to situations in which the defendant makes payment either to a prostitute or to a procurer or a "pimp" pursuant to a prior understanding. This understanding must be that some person either has engaged or will engage in sexual conduct with the defendant. The phrase "sexual conduct" is not defined in the law and has its ordinary meaning.2 Any conduct of a sexual nature intended to gratify another person's sexual desire or sexual pleasure is included within the terms of this statute. Actual sexual conduct is not necessary for a conviction. An offer or solicitation or agreement to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for a fee is sufficient. Also, gratuitous sex is not within the purview of the statute.
[<Insert if appropriate:> It does not matter that the participating persons were of the same sex, or that the person who received, agreed to receive or solicited a fee, was a male and the person who paid for, agreed or offered to pay such a fee was a female.]
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the defendant (paid / agreed to pay / offered to pay) a fee in exchange for an agreement to engage in sexual conduct.

SANTA CLARA -- Cornerback Tarell Brown participated in the 49ers' first practice of training camp Thursday, only hours after learning he's lost $2 million in potential salary for failing to participate in the team's offseason program.
"It definitely was hard to concentrate just because my mind was somewhere else," Brown said after practice. "But this is a business and I have a job to do, and the 49ers are paying me to do a job.
"I have to come out here regardless of what's happening off the field."
Brown blamed the financial fiasco on the oversight of his now-former agent Brian Overstreet, and the starting right cornerback only learned of it Thursday morning on Twitter. Yahoo! Sports broke the story.
"When you ask somebody that advises you to do certain things, and not knowing a clause in your contract, you put too much trust into people," Brown added. "That's what happened in this situation."
Brown is now slated to earn $925,000 salary in the final year of his current contract. Overstreet did not return a phone message seeking comment.
Rather than participate in the nine-week program from April to June, Brown instead chose to train in Dallas with his longtime trainer, former Olympic sprinter Jon Drummond.
"It's something I've always done as far as (spending) the offseason at home, getting in shape," Brown said. "It had nothing to do with not being in shape, not wanting to work out, no contract problems or anything like that."
Brown did, however, participate in the 49ers' 2012 offseason program, and he responded by playing arguably the best among the 49ers' cornerbacks last season en route to the Super Bowl. He had only two interceptions in the regular season, but he made one in the playoff opener against Green Bay and forced a key fumble during the 49ers' second-half comeback bid in their Super Bowl defeat to Baltimore.
Brown lined up in his familiar spot at right cornerback with the 49ers' other defensive players during Thursday's practice, and he made a nice play to deflect a third-down pass attempt by Colin Kaepernick.
The 49ers still could extend Brown's contract, or he could hope to recoup some of that lost $2 million once he hits free agency next spring. Brown is one of 23 players on the 49ers' roster who don't have contracts for next season.
