NJ, November 14, 2013–Princeton Theological Seminary will present
three musical services of carols from around the world for the Seminary and
Princeton communities on Monday, December 9 at 3:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 8:30
p.m. in Miller Chapel. This annual Christmas tradition has continued for more
than thirteen years and offers a counterpoint to the more traditional Service
of Lessons and Carols. The service includes readings, choral anthems, and
congregational carols led by the Princeton Seminary Choir and international
students and staff of the Seminary. After each identical service, everyone is
invited to carol by candlelight outside of the chapel on the Seminary
Of the 502 students enrolled for the
2013–2014 academic year, 31 are international students who come from Canada,
China, Egypt, Germany, Great Britain, India, Liberia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal,
the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan.
A wide array of carols and
anthems from different nations and cultures reflects the Seminary's diverse student
body. As part of the service, students, faculty, and staff will read Advent and
Christmas scriptures in their native languages, including Afrikaans, German,
Indonesian, Russian, Spanish, Yoruban, and Zulu.
to Dr. Martin Tel, Princeton Seminary's C.F. Seabrook Director of Music, "One
of the themes that we're highlighting this year is that of the star. It is
alluring and has inspired traditional carols in the past, such as the Puerto
Rican carol that we will sing—Los magos
qué llegaron a Belén. The star has also inspired some modern choral
settings from around the world, like Australian composer Stephen Leek's Southern Cross," he says.
this year is a contemporary Christmas anthem, Susa Ninna, by South African composer Peter Louis van Dink. It will
be sung in Afrikaans by the Princeton Seminary choir. Tel says, "With coaching
from Hester van Huyssteen we are ready to roll out this new anthem. I chose
this song partly to honor Wentzel and Hester, beloved members of our Seminary
community for the last twenty-one years. They will be returning to their native
South Africa in the coming year after Wentzel's retirement." (Wentzel van Huyssteen

The CCBE was conceived in September 1960 by passengers aboard a boat heading to Basle, Switzerland, during a congress of the Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA). After the European Economic Community was founded by the Treaty of Rome in 1957, European lawyers perceived a threat to their independence. A body was needed to represent the interests of lawyers before the EEC.
During this boat trip on the Rhine, a proposal was made to create a body of representatives from the then six EEC Member States (Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands). An agreement in principle was obtained from those aboard: the presidents of the bars and lawyers' associations of the countries concerned.
The plan soon ran into trouble because the Paris and Brussels bars wanted their own organisation. In early December 1960, a meeting was held at the Palace of Justice in Brussels. There, some of the founders managed to convince their French and Belgian colleagues that a truly international organisation would be more effective.
The delegations adopted the name "The consultative committee of bars and national associations of the six States of the EEC (gathered by the UIA)". This appellation was eventually simplified to "Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe", retaining the abbreviation CCBE.
In 1966, the CCBE became autonomous, defining its mission as "the study of all the questions affecting the legal profession in the member states of the European Community and the formulation of the solutions designed to coordinate and harmonise the practice of the profession in those states."
A significant step came with the introduction in 1977 of the CCBE identity card, a kind of passport facilitating lawyers to provide legal services in each other's countries. Propelled by extensive press coverage, the idea caught on and within two years over 700 card applications had been received.
There was a major piece of legislation affecting lawyers which also came to fruition in 1977 - the Services Directive (77/249), which permitted EU lawyers to provide temporary services in another EU Member State.
The year 1979 saw an important victory in the battle for official recognition when the European Court of Justice accepted the CCBE as an intervener in a case representing the interests of the legal profession in Europe. The case, AM&S Europe Limited v Commission of the European Communities, focused on the question of legal professional privilege for in-house counsel, and the CCBE produced an impressive survey of the law on the topic among the Member States for use by the court. As a result, the CCBE established the Permanent Delegation to the Court of Justice. In 1988, the CCBE Code of Conduct, regulating the cross-border activities of lawyers, was agreed and implemented.
In 1998, the second directive specific to the legal profession, the Establishment Directive (98/5), was passed, after a long debate within the CCBE. This directive permitted EU lawyers to establish in another Member State, provided that they registered with, and were regulated by, the local host bar.
Over time, the CCBE has been consulted regularly by the European Commission and the Parliament about directives concerning the interests of the legal profession in Europe.

'Forgotten' Third Amendment Surfaces in Nevada Case
It's been called the "forgotten amendment," "an insignificant legal fossil," and an "oft-forgotten relic" of the American Revolution.
But the Third Amendment made a rare appearance in federal court, figuring in a lawsuit filed this month by a Nevada man against the city of Henderson and its police chief.
The Third Amendment reads, in full:
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law
How rare are Third Amendment cases? It's been 30 years since a federal court handed down a significant Third Amendment decision.
Henderson resident Anthony Mitchell claims that Henderson police officers violated his Third Amendment rights when they "conspired among themselves to force [him] out of his residence and to occupy his home for their own use."
Responding to a domestic violence call at a neighbor's residence in July 2011, officers told Mr. Mitchell that they needed to come into his home to gain a "tactical advantage," according to the suit, which the Volokh Conspiracy wrote about here.
When Mr. Mitchell refused, police officers came to his home, banged on his door, and then smashed it open with a metal ram, he alleges.
He claims they then aimed their weapons, commanding him to lie down on the floor and crawl toward them. When he didn't move, they allegedly fired pepper-spray balls at him, striking him three times at close range and causing him to "experience uncontrollable coughing and difficulty breathing," the suit says.
Police then arrested Mr. Mitchell for "obstructing a police officer" before "swarming" into his home. He also claims they fired pepper-balls at his cowering dog named Sam.
The city attorney of Henderson wasn't immediately available for comment. A spokesman for the Henderson Police Department declined comment.
It's been a long time since a federal court has interpreted the meaning of the Third Amendment. In 1983, the Second Circuit ruled that the State of New York violated the Third Amendment rights of striking correction officers who were booted from staff housing by National Guard troops.
More recently, in 2001, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit considered whether the military could fly planes above a private property without the owner's permission. "Judicial interpretation of the Third Amendment is nearly nonexistent," the court conceded, but ultimately sided with the government:
We simply do not believe the Framers intended the Third Amendment to be used to prevent the military from regulated, lawful use of airspace above private property without the property owners' consent.
Scholars, though, have tried to make the case for the amendment's relevance. For example, Nicholas Quinn Rosenkranz, who teaches constitutional law at Georgetown University Law Center, thinks the Third Amendment is the "Rosetta stone" of the Bill of Rights, offering insights into how the Framers designed the Constitution to constrain governmental power.
"[The] Third Amendment can reveal the structure of the Bill of Rights, and its objects," the professor wrote.

Today: New reports say Apple (AAPL) is close to announcing a deal to bring iPhones to Japan's largest mobile carrier, but labor abuses are reported at a Chinese factory making the new devices. Also, LinkedIn and Facebook hit record highs.
The lead: Good news and bad news for Apple
As Apple rumors continue to fly in the buildup to next week's expected unveiling of two new iPhone models, a pair of reports surfaced Thursday that could have long-term consequences both good and bad.
On the positive side, the Japanese newspaper Nikkei as well as Yahoo (YHOO) Japan reported Apple has reached a deal to sell iPhones through NTT Docomo, Japan's biggest mobile phone carrier, starting this fall. Docomo has 60 million subscribers in Japan, almost half the country's population. Apple's current exclusive deal is with Japan's third-biggest carrier, SoftBank, which has about 23 million subscribers.
A day earlier, Apple sent a cryptic invitation to media members in Beijing, Tokyo and Berlin for an event scheduled just after next week's announcement in Cupertino. Indications are that the Beijing event will be to announce a distribution deal with China Mobile, the world's largest mobile carrier with 710 million subscribers. Speculation now is that the Docomo deal will be announced at the Tokyo event.
If true, those moves could significantly boost Apple's market share in Asia, where it has sharply fallen in the face of stiff competition from Korean-based archrival Samsung.
But Asia is also the source of a possible new problem for Apple, as a human rights group claimed labor abuses as a Chinese factory that builds new iPhone components.
According to a report by Bloomberg News, the group China Labor Watch is accusing Florida-based Apple contractor Jabil Circuit Inc. of, among other things, imposing excessive working hours, unpaid overtime, five-minute meal breaks and requiring female workers to pass a pregnancy test before being hired. The alleged abuses were recorded at a plant that is building plastic components for an expected new, cheaper iPhone model, the group said.
Labor violations are not a new problem for Apple's Asian suppliers. Contractors Foxconn and Pegatron have previously been cited for abuses at factories, and last year Apple vowed to strictly audit the factories to ensure proper working conditions.
"We take any concerns about our suppliers very seriously, and our team of experts is on-site at Jabil Wuxi to look into the new claims about conditions there," Apple spokeswoman Kristen Huguet said Thursday in a statement.
Apple shares dipped on the day, down $3.42, or 0.69 percent, to $495.27.
SV150 market report: LinkedIn, Facebook hit records
Social media stocks leaped Thursday, led by a nearly 4 percent gain by LinkedIn. The Mountain View professional networking site rose $9.42, or 3.94 percent, to close at an all-time high of $248.35, but not before also hitting a record intraday price of $249.98.
Earlier in the day, LinkedIn announced it would expand its planned share sale by 20 percent, to $1.2 billion. According to Bloomberg News, LinkedIn is offering 5.38 million shares at a discount price of $223 a share. The sale is expected to close Sept. 10, and investors are clamoring to get on board. LinkedIn shares have skyrocketed since its 2011 IPO, beating analyst expectations in every quarter and showing robust growth in both subscribers and advertising.
Menlo Park social giant Facebook is facing new privacy complaints after again changing its terms of service, with critics saying the new policy violates a 2011 privacy settlement with the FTC. The outcry didn't hurt Facebook shares, though; they gained 89 cents, or 2.13 percent, to close at $42.67, an all-time high.
Elsewhere, shares in Mountain View-based Google (GOOG) dropped almost 1 percent after it lost a lawsuit to Microsoft over so-called standard, essential patents. A Seattle jury on Wednesday awarded Microsoft about $14 million in damages over violations by Motorola Mobilty, which Google purchased last year. Shares in San Jose e-commerce giant eBay (EBAY) rose almost 1 percent after its PayPal subsidiary updated its mobile payment app with new features, including advance ordering and the capability to pay for a meal while at the table. While some found the new app overly complicated, its release is seen as a promising step in the mobile-payment field, which is predicted to face exponential growth in the coming years. And what's a new logo worth? How about 16 cents a share? That's how much Sunnyvale-based Yahoo rose Thursday after announcing a new, slimmer -- some say boring -- logo. CEO Marissa Mayer was an integral force behind the redesigned logo, which included tilting the exclamation point 9 degrees, "just to add whimsy."
Up: Google, eBay, Yahoo, Netflix, Zynga, Facebook, Yahoo
Down: Apple, Oracle (ORCL), Intel (INTC), Cisco (CSCO), HP, VMware, Tesla
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Up 2.30, or 0.18 percent, to 1,312.32
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 9.74 , or 0.27 percent, to 3,658.78.
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 6.61 or 0.04 percent, to 14,937.48.

PITTSBURG -- At first, it appeared to be a dramatic tale of self-defense: A man confronted an armed burglar he found in his apartment Tuesday morning, wrestled with him and killed him with a knife.
But in a bizarre twist, police on Wednesday revealed it wasn't a random burglary at all. Instead, they said, a cheating wife and her lover staged the break-in to intimidate her estranged husband into moving out.
Now, the wife, her lover and two accomplices are behind bars on suspicion of murder. A 54-year-old local transient -- the uncle of the woman's boyfriend -- is dead.
Pittsburg Police Lt. Ron Raman, said they believe Charmaine Leon Guerrero Taijeron, 28, was having an affair with Matt Terrell Parker, 22.
When her husband found out, the two decided to split up, and he was supposed to move out of the apartment, Raman said.
But Taijeron believed her husband "was not going to move out," Raman said. So Taijeron and Parker cooked up a fake home-invasion robbery to scare her husband into leaving their home at the Villa Serena Apartments on East Leland Lane, police said.
The husband, who was not identified by police, told investigators he was home alone at 10:20 a.m. Tuesday. When he heard what he thought was someone trying to break in through the front door, he ran to the back of the apartment to get a gun.
When he returned, he encountered the would-be burglar, identified as Robert Earl Lindsey, holding what the husband believed was a gun, though it turned out to be a toy.
The two men struggled, the husband told police, and both men dropped their weapons. But the husband grabbed a knife and, as the two continued to struggle, he stabbed Lindsey in the back, police said.
The husband wasn't arrested and won't face charges, Raman said.
Pittsburg police say Lindsey, 54, who died at the scene, was a transient with an "extensive" criminal history of multiple burglaries.
Court records on Lindsey were not available Wednesday.
Two other men, whom police said were Jimmy Watkins Salgado, 23, and Charles Edward Parker, 21, ran away but were captured nearby a short time later.
Salgado, Taijeron and the Parker brothers are considered participants in a felony that led to a death, making them eligible for murder charges, Raman said. They are each being held on $1 million bail.
Police believe that they conspired for at least two weeks to pull off the fake burglary.
Taijeron even gave Charles Parker, Salgado and Lindsey keys to the apartment, police said, and told them her husband was growing marijuana there. Police said the marijuana was being grown legally.
In a jailhouse interview Wednesday, Charles Parker denied that he has anything to do with a burglary plot. Instead, he said, he agreed to help Lindsey, who is his uncle, steal marijuana.
But when they entered the house, Parker said, the husband already had his gun drawn.
"All I know is that when (Lindsey) opened the door, (he) was already was waiting for him," Parker said. "I don't know when he heard him or how it came about, but he was ready with a gun."
Parker said he was not aware of whether his brother was having an affair with Taijeron, but his brother told him that he could "score" some weed and "help out her situation" at the same time.
When asked how well he knew Taijeron, Parker said he hardly knew her.
"My motivation really was only to get me some weed," he said. "I never talked to (her) face-to-face."

Richard Rogers">
The author of "Guide for Grief," Roger Murchison, has conducted more than 500 funerals over his 20-plus years. (WRDW-TV / Sept. 23, 2011)
Friday, Sept. 23, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- An Augusta pastor has come out with a new book on a subject that eventually touches us all. Rodger Murchison
has just released his first book, "Guide for Grief."
As an associate pastor at First Baptist Church in Augusta, Murchison has conducted more than 500 funerals over his 20-plus years. He had two more just last week. He also conducts Grief Ministry Workshops twice a year.
"Grief is like breathing air and drinking water," he said. "If you live, you grieve. If you don't deal with grief, grief will deal with you. So the book tries to say how do you handle, how do you deal with loss and grief in life."
Murchison says grief is very personal and differs from person to person. It typically comes in stages that include shock and denial, anger, depression and an effort to bargain with God before finally accepting it.
"That doesn't mean its over, but you accept the fact you're grieving," he said. "Accept the fact that life is not like it was and I've got to decide how do I re-orient life? How do I re-frame life and move on?"
The book itself is framed around 10 questions people have asked the First Baptist minister over the years. Predictable questions like: Why did my loved one die? Where are they? How long will I grieve? What about children who mourn and mourning children? Can any good come from all this loss?
In his "Guide for Grief," Murchison took 10 basic questions and tried to answer them through scripture and prayer. He says the book is aimed primarily at two groups: the survivors and the caregivers.
Caregivers would include those who are trying to help people who are grieving.
"Ministers, funeral home directors, chaplains, hospital professionals or anyone who is walking beside others who are grieving," he said. "This book has techniques and ideas and suggestions to help you in the grief process."
But even after years and years of experience, the book itself is less than 100 pages. Some of the chapters are less than four pages long. That's by design.
"People who are grieving, one of the issues they have is concentration. They can't think a long time with one thought," Murchison said. "So the book is saying, 'Think with me for three or four pages about this issue and then put it down. And then pick it up again when you're stronger.'"
There's no set time on how long you should grieve. Sometimes you have time to prepare, sometimes you don't. It can last for years.
"Timing is very important," he said. "I quote Ecclesiastes. There's a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, a time to die, a time to dance and a time to mourn and each person does that in their own way."
In the end, grief is something that eventually affects us all.
"Grief is not the enemy. We grieve every day, usually for something -- either a mini grief or many griefs," he said. "We grieve all the time. The issue isn't how do you get rid of grief -- the issue is how do you deal with it, because if you don't deal with grief, grief will deal with you."
The "Guide for Grief" also deals with the different kinds of grief that come with different kinds of death. You can order a copy on Amazon or buy one directly from First Baptist Church of Augusta.
You can hear the author talk about the book today on News 12 First at 5 and News 12 at 6 o'clock.

Whiskey Tango hits the High Country for a free show starting at 10 tonight at Jonny G's Bar, Nightclub & Pizzeria, 409 Main St. in Frisco. Here, acoustic rhythm/lead guitarist Zac Steinman gives us the goods on the band:
Imagine if Bela Fleck and Jerry Garcia (or Janis Joplin if that's a better visual for you) conceived a baby during an underground rave. In layman's lingo, bluegrass meets rock and roll meets electronic meets your face.
In 2009-10 we played a year straight of Tuesday nights at Quixotes True Blue in Denver. We dubbed the night "Tango Tuesday," and needless to say, we got pretty good at staying out late on a Tuesday.
(Being named) 2011 and 2012 Denver Westword Best New Rock - Improv/Jam Band. For the last three years we've organized and hosted our own music festival, Black Mountain Music Festival, and brought out numerous up-and-coming bands strictly from Colorado. It's been a great experience over the years for us and we look forward to see what lies ahead for the festival.
Listening to others' music, book learning and Mother Nature.
You as a music lover can expect a high-energy, bouncing-off-the-walls bluegrass show, followed by a spacey electronic funk jam with a titillating X-rated Nate Todd story session skulked in there. Basically, expect the unexpected.
After nearly a year's worth of work we released our debut album, "Groggy Mountain Mornings," last December. You can download it from our website: www.whiskeytangoCO.com. Our original song, "Annalisa," was featured in the CD sampler of the December issue of Relix Magazine.
Yes, we do LOVE whiskey shots.

TULSA, Okla. – Mary-Kate Halsmer's goal with less than four minutes remaining snapped a 1-1 tie and lifted Oral Roberts (8-2-0, 3-0-0 Southland) to a 2-1 victory over the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team on Sunday. Brooke Erdmann scored her first career goal in the loss for the Islanders (1-9-0, 0-4-0).
It marked the fourth time in as many games that A&M-Corpus Christi has been edged by one goal in conference action. On three of those occasions, the Islanders have found themselves in a tie game in the second half.
"We battled for 90 minutes today," head coach Shanna Caldwell said, "and that's the tough part about this game – sometimes you come out on the wrong side of the score. Today was the best soccer we've played all year. Our movement off the ball was great and we created some great chances.
"Everything about today was positive and I think we have made the adjustment to come out strong from the first whistle," she added. "The results might not be there on the box score but this team continues to improve and battle and play better every game. I'm very proud of them."
Audrey Baldwin made five saves for the visitors, and added several brilliant plays to thwart ORU attacks with her aggressiveness. Maddie Rhodes made five saves in the victory for Oral Roberts. Erdmann led the Islanders with five shots and received the only yellow card of the match for either team.
The Golden Eagles struck first, with Kayla Keller putting the home squad ahead in the 27th minute. Halsmer sent a nicely angled ball toward the left side, and Keller chased it down, moved into the box, and sent a shot just out of the reach of Baldwin and into the lower right corner of the goal for a 1-0 lead at 26:51.
The Islanders were not without their opportunities in the first half, though, unleashing eight shots in the frame. Erdmann led the way with four shots, as the freshman had several strong opportunities, two of her shots being turned aside by Rhodes.
A&M-Corpus Christi came out of the half the aggressors, coming right after the Golden Eagles. In the 53rd minute, that pressure delivered results, with Erdmann netting her first career tally. Yvette Franco came in along the end line and her shot was saved by Rhodes, but the rebound carried toward Erdmann, where she headed into the back of the net to tie the score 1-1 at the 52:59 mark.
"Our goal was the result of the hard work we put in up top," Caldwell said. "Yvette didn't quit on the ball and was able to battle through two defenders to get a shot off and Brooke worked hard to be in the box and sacrifice her body to put it in the back of the net."
The game continued back-and-forth into the closing minutes, when Halsmer came through with some heroics. The Golden Eagles worked the ball to her just outside of the far corner of the box, and Halsmer created some space for herself and bent a shot into the right-hand corner of the net to regain the lead with just 3:37 left. The Islanders had one last effort, but came up short in their pursuit for another equalizer.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi returns home this weekend, for a single conference affair, as the team plays host to McNeese State on Friday afternoon at 3:30 at the Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium. For tickets, call 825-BALL (2255) or visit GoIslanders.com.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team earned a big 5-1 win over Dallas Baptist on Friday night, using another stellar performance from Trevor Foss on the way to the victory.
The Islanders (5-5) got 7.0 innings from Foss (2-1) as he allowed just four hits and struck out eight batters while walking four and giving up no runs against DBU (4-5). Franco Pace earned the first save of his career, coming in with one out in the eighth inning and striking out all five batters he faced, getting three of them looking, to finish it out for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi.
Jordan Lee, Brad Porras and Eric Weiss each picked up a pair of hits in the game, while Brad Lamberti, Stafford Brantley and Zach Taylor had one hit apiece. Porras and Lamberti drove in two runs each, while Jonathan Gonzales had one RBI in the game.
The Islanders got on the board early with two runs in the bottom of the first, getting all they needed with a 2-0 lead. Lee led off the inning with an infield single, moved to all the way to third when Cody Stephens reached on an error by the DBU shortstop and Stephens moved to second on a stolen base to put two runners in scoring position. Lee scored on an RBI groundout by Gonzales, and Porras followed with a single to right field that scored Stephens to make it 2-0.
They added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth as Gonzales drew a walk to start the inning and moved to third on a Weiss double. Lamberti came through with a big hit through the right side that plated both runners to make it a 4-0 advantage.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi added an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh as Lee singled to the pitcher, moved to second on a Stephens sacrifice bunt, moved to third on a ground out and came home to score on another Porras single to right field for the 5-0 advantage.
The Patriots got on the board in the top of the eighth as O'Shea Dumes came on in relief of Foss, but surrendered a leadoff triple to Boomer Collins that got him into early trouble. After getting a strikeout swinging for the first out, a single to right scored Collins to make it 5-1. That is when Pace came on to get a strikeout swinging for out number two, and got the final batter of the inning on a strikeout looking to end the inning.
Pace finished off the game with a pair of strikeouts looking to start the ninth, and a strikeout swinging to close it out.
The two teams will meet once again on Saturday, with a 1 p.m. first pitch featuring Tyler Schnuriger of the Islanders facing off against Cy Sneed of Dallas Baptist on the mound.
Live stats and video will be available for the game by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

And the potholes aren't going anywhere for awhile.
It's been an unusual winter in that the number of days and cycles into below zero weather were relentless. The number of days above 32 have been few, but enough to start the crop multiplying.
We're entering another freeze-thaw cycle this weekend and surely there will be more to come before, and possibly after, spring arrives none too soon on March 20.
Our point here is patience. Efforts to patch won't be effective until the weather warms up. Until then, take it easy while driving. Watch speeding into puddles because the puddle could be hiding a wheel-bending hole.
Be cautious on roads where you know holes are and watch for other drivers trying to avoid the worst of them. Hopefully, they'll do the same for you as you try to avoid the worst of them.
Soon, the hot asphalt will be available and those street crews who have worked valiantly trying to keep the streets passable all winter will be working to make them passable, period.
Don't hesitate to report your "favorite" potholes to your local government, but remember, there are human beings who drive the same roads as you on the other end of the phone.

The Lightning's defense might be OK in a couple of years, but it's going to be a long season for Tampa tenders if more isn't done.
The Tampa Bay Lightning obtained the best player – defenseman Andrej Meszaros – in its recent trade with the Ottawa Senators. And that's obviously a significant factor to consider.

There are a few teams that need to have a good season to avoid dropping off the radar and into the league basement.

There hasn't been much to like about Los Angeles lately, but with the youth they currently have in the fold, it won't be long before they're competitive.
The Los Angeles Kings have dropped further and further down the NHL standings since they last made the playoffs in 2002. In the two seasons before the lockout, the Kings placed 18th and 20th overall.

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C.---A single gunshot rang out in a crowded bar. One man lost his life. And six and a half years later, the gunman is still on the run.
Somebody got away with murder on September 18, 2000.
At the Highlander, a British pub just across the state line in North Augusta, 48-year-old Wayne Williams was shot in the chest.
The timeline is fairly simple.
It happened around 8:30 in the evening, and there were plenty of witnesses.
People who were in the bar that night say the two men were sitting at a table near the fireplace. The men were not arguing. There were no loud voices. They stood, and there was a gunshot. The victim, Wayne Williams, fell, and the gunman ran out the door.
A couple of people spotted a man running north along Georgia Avenue, and that's where the trail goes cold.
"It was interesting. When we started working the case, it was hard to believe that in a crowded bar, we would not have any more information than they did," said Inv. Tim Thornton of North Augusta Public Safety.
The suspect is a white male with black hair and mustache, weighing about 160 pounds. He was wearing a black baseball cap, light blue t-shirt and blue jeans that night.
Inv. Thornton says that even after six and a half years, they're not giving up.
"It might be a cold case, but we've got evidence on file. We can make a case. When information comes in we can connect it to this case."
Wayne Williams had only been back in this area for a couple of weeks after spending some time in Boone, North Carolina. He was the father of three children.
If you have any information that leads to an arrest, the family is still offering a $5000 reward.
Just one good tip can turn this whole case around.

Patrick H. Byrne, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Lonergan Institute at Boston College, will address the topic "Can We be Moral Without God" in the 12th Annual Lonergan Lecture. All are welcome to attend this free lecture on Friday, October 11, 2013 at 7:30pm in St. Joseph Chapel, Regis College. For more information, contact The Lonergan Research Institute at Regis College.
Drawing on insights from the work of Bernard Lonergan, Patrick Byrne, Professor of Philosophy at Boston College, reflects on some of the implicit assumptions that often shape discussions of morality from the standpoint of neuroscience. He explores the connection between morality, the question of God, and the way we think and choose.
Patrick Byrne's research centers on ethics and the philosophy of science. Past chair of the Philosophy Department at Boston College, he has published widely in international journals. His books include Analysis and Science in Aristotle, an edited volume called The Dialogue Between Science and Religion (What We Have Learned From One Another), and a forthcoming monograph developing the ethical theory of Bernard Lonergan.
Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984) was a Canadian Jesuit widely considered one of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. His work addresses fundamental questions in philosophy, theology, macroeconomics, and methods of scholarly and scientific inquiry.
The Lonergan Lecture is an annual event sponsored by the Lonergan Research Institute (LRI) at Regis College. The LRI, home of the Bernard Lonergan archives, was established to preserve, promote, develop and implement the work of Bernard Lonergan, SJ. Its projects include the Collected Works of Bernard Lonergan, lectures and seminars, and assistantships for graduate and post-graduate research. The LRI is a work of the Jesuits in Canada and operates in partnership with Regis College, the Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto.
Regis College is located at 100 Wellesley Street West, Toronto, near the corner of Queen's Park Crescent East. Regis College is on the 94 Wellesley TTC bus route and a short walk (south) from the Museum subway station. Public parking is available in the University of St. Michael's College parking lot on St. Joseph Street, one block north of Regis College. The venue is accessible.
Regis College is the Jesuit School of Theology at the University of Toronto and a Founding Member of the Toronto School of Theology.
Members of the public interested in theological education are invited to attend an open house in October and March each year.

WASHINGTON (January 20, 2013)—U.S. Sen. Chuck
Schumer, D-N.Y., the third-ranking Senate Democrat says Democrats will pass a budget proposal this year that includes new taxes and "our Republican colleagues had better get used to that fact."
Schumer told NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that his party's budget will also include tax law changes to attract support from both parties and bring down the nation's debt.
Congress is trying to figure out how what to do when the government hits its borrowing limit soon.
Republicans have indicated they'll extend that borrowing authority for three more months, but insist on bringing down the debt.
Schumer said he prefers a longer extension so lawmakers aren't always dealing with the question.
The Democratic-controlled Senate last passed a full budget in 2009.

Editor's Note: This profile of Alice Waters orginally appeared in the Contra Costa Times on Aug. 28, 2006.
One summer night in the early 1980s, Alice Waters, the iconic founder of Chez Panisse, asked her head chef to prepare anchovies just trawled from Monterey Bay.
Filleting and grilling nearly 1,000 tiny fish in a three-hour period struck Paul Bertolli as impossible, but Waters wanted the food served at its freshest. He scrambled to fill more than 100 orders, ultimately propping a cooling rack over the grills to expand the cooking space.
Bertolli, who had become head chef about a year prior, learned quickly that adaptability was a critical skill at Chez Panisse. On any given day, local mushroom foragers might show up at the back door a few hours before the 6 p.m. seating, with just-picked lepiota rachodes or porcinis. A vendor could call about perfect gooseneck barnacles.
Excited by the chance to employ ingredients at their peak, Waters would rewrite that night's fixed-price menu, prepared the week prior, as little as 15 minutes before the doors opened.
"The menu is just an abstraction, a projection of what you think you will do, " said Bertolli, who later founded the acclaimed Oliveto restaurant in Oakland and Fra' Mani Handcrafted Salumi in Berkeley. "There was a sense, however frustratingly, of spontaneity, of openness and responsiveness to the alive quality of food."
This adherence to nature -- allowing seasons and what sprouts locally to dictate the menu rather than customer whims and dining trends -- represented a dramatic reinterpretation of restaurant modes when Chez Panisse opened 35 years ago today.
But Waters' influence stretches beyond the dining room. Today she dedicates most of her energy to confronting a childhood obesity rate that has tripled since 1980, devoting money and resources to improve school lunches as well as attitudes about food.
Waters spearheaded the Edible Schoolyard, an organic garden and kitchen classroom at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in Berkeley, as well as the School Lunch Initiative, an effort to supply organic food to Berkeley school lunch programs.
She also advocates globally for the slow food movement, proclaiming that locally grown and organic food is not just tastier but healthier, environmentally responsible and economically just.
"I was just looking for flavor and I ended up at the door of organic farmers, " Waters said. "Then I realized how important they were. I became a crusader and I haven't stopped."
Alice Waters was born in Chatham, New Jersey, on April 28, 1944. She graduated from UC Berkeley in 1967 with a degree in French cultural studies and trained as a teacher at the Montessori School in London before spending a formative year traveling and tasting across France.
She had no formal culinary training but, by her account, in the introduction to the "Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook, " she copied and practiced the techniques of traditional French chefs. Once she internalized their lessons, Waters developed a personal style "based on the ingredients available to me here in California."
Many now credit Waters or at least Chez Panisse with inventing California Cuisine, characterized by a fusion of international influences featuring seasonal and local ingredients.
As the author or co-author of eight cookbooks, Waters has shaped countless home cooks. Her disciples have founded some of the most renowned restaurants and food companies in the Bay Area and beyond: Oliveto, Zuni Cafe, Pizzaiolo, César, Eccolo, Acme Bread Co. Many more restaurants and chefs have emulated the Chez Panisse approach.
"She really changed the way that restaurants in America cook, creating an interest in regional, local, organic ingredients, " said Christopher Lee, a Chez Panisse chef from 1989 until 2003 and now co-owner of Eccolo in Berkeley. "That was a wave that caused change all the way across America."
But at least one person has suggested publicly, and many have whispered privately, that the Chez Panisse influence has been all-too pervasive, homogenizing the expectations of the collective Bay Area palette.
"So deeply embedded is the mythology of Chez Panisse in the DNA of local food culture that it threatens to smother stylistic diversity and extinguish the creativity that it originally sought to spark, " wrote Daniel Patterson[JCT4], chef-owner of Coi in San Francisco, in the New York Times last December.
Patterson, who was criticized widely for his essay, declined to comment on Waters for this article. Another person not talking publicly about her anymore is Jeremiah Tower[JCT5], who became chef at Chez Panisse two years after its founding. But he certainly spoke up in his 2003 book, "California Dish: What I Saw (and Cooked) at the American Culinary Revolution."
In it, he claims credit for inventing or at least drawing attention to California Cuisine, with an all-things-grilled lunch at a food writers junket in the early '80s. He was supposed to be the warm-up act for a renowned French chef, but by Tower's reckoning, his fennel sausage, mixed shellfish and lamb loin overshadowed the dinner.
"The love affair between the American food press and California had begun, " he wrote, only a tad immodestly.
He went on to suggest that Waters, initially at least, couldn't distinguish between quality green beans and those "an elephant would pass up" and created menus that didn't meld, when she created them at all. She spent little time in the kitchen, Towers said, focusing instead on grabbing the glory as the restaurant's public face.
Waters said she would leave sorting out her impact to others. But in the cookbook introduction, she wrote that her approach isn't "radical or unconventional." If it seems so, she said, it's only because we have become "so removed from any real involvement with the food we buy, cook and consume."
Waters is small and pretty. For a time, friends called her Tiny. She speaks quietly, pausing often in mid sentence, but exhibits flashes of fervor.
Midway through an interview, Waters excused herself to take a phone call concerning the "Slow Food Nation" conference that she is helping organize.
She is vice president of Slow Food, an international organization that contends big agribusiness is homogenizing tastes, destroying ecological diversity and undermining small food producers around the globe.
Walking back into the room, she said: "That's beautiful. A beautiful contribution."
A philanthropist had agreed to help fund the San Francisco event. Waters literally jumped up and down as she relayed the news to an employee.
Current and former Chez Panisse staffers say this excitement is infectious. They feel they're part of something much bigger than running a four-star restaurant. Those who don't buy into this mission usually don't last.
"Alice is really demanding of herself and everybody that she's involved with, assuming and insisting that everybody be signed on for the project, " said Steve Sullivan, the founder of Acme Bread in Berkeley, who joined Chez Panisse as a busboy at 18 and worked his way up to baker.
But her take on a project, a goal, a practice tends to be expressed in absolutist -- and some feel idealistic -- terms.
Marsha Guerrero, director of Berkeley's School Lunch Initiative, once relayed to Waters what she thought was a cute anecdote about holding a saltine cracker eating contest with the children at the Edible Schoolyard.
"Marsha, " she recalls being scolded, "that is the last thing in the world I want to hear. We are teaching kids about gluttony."
Waters repeatedly calls fast food "dehumanizing." Not unhealthy and untasty, but dehumanizing. Since it means families spend less time preparing and enjoying meals together, she believes it's tearing at the social fabric.
Her solution is as tidy as it is far-reaching: Every U.S. school should have a garden that, together with local organic farms, supplies lunch programs. The federal government should foot the bill, she said, since it will make back the money in public health care savings.
Being reared on organic food and learning how to grow produce will foster an appreciation for good and healthy food in children while discrediting "fast food values." Meanwhile, since 20 percent of the population is in school, the spike in demand would topple the industrialized food empire, bolstering small, local farms across the nation.
To take just one point, some dietitians and food advocates believe that an insistence on expensive organic food, in public schools with stretched budgets, is an overshoot.
"The big issue is first getting fruits and vegetables on the tables of poor families, " said George Manalo-LeClair, director of legislation and policy for California Food Policy Advocates. "Then we can talk about organic."
But Waters, encouraged by the sustainable agriculture movement's sudden success, is holding firm to the details of her vision.
"It has to be sustainable and organic, " she said, "because what we're talking about is something that goes very deep into thinking about the future of all of us on this planet."
Chez Panisse is a reflection of Waters' slow food philosophy.
While most restaurants work with at most a few produce providers, Chez Panisse's refrigerator is packed with fruits and vegetables from more than 70, primarily local, farms. Waters largely created and sustains the network.
"It's more expensive, " said Waters' assistant, Sylvan Brackett, "but worth it."
The chefs select the best produce for Chez Panisse's famous fruit plate. The rest end up in a sorbet or sherbet. Almost nothing is wasted.
One former chef said that Waters would even occasionally Dumpster dive, monitoring what and how much the staff tossed out.
The adjacent meat locker is filled with fresh fish and grass-fed lamb and beef.
Several years ago, Waters attended a speech by Michael Pollan, a journalism professor at UC Berkeley and author of "The Omnivore's Dilemma, " concerning the use of corn to feed cattle. It helps the animals plump up faster, but their systems can only digest it with a heavy regimen of antibiotics.
Chez Panisse stopped serving beef for a year, Brackett said, until they could find a grass-fed version that met their standards.
Behind the restaurant stand several large grease buckets, which are converted to biodiesel, and rows of recycling and compost bins.
One April Fools' Day a few years ago, a Bay Area radio station announced Chez Panisse was serving compost croutons. People showed up for the recipe.
In fact, the food waste is returned to the farms, which use it for fertilizer.
Chez Panisse is as close to an environmentally closed loop as a restaurant could be. It's the little corner of the globe where Alice Waters could implement her vision uncompromised. Like the Edible Schoolyard, she believes it's a model for what should and could catch on in the wider world.
"We're not trying to preach at them, " she said, "we're trying to seduce them, if you will, through taste."
But Patterson, noting near the end of the New York Times article that dinner for two at Chez Panisse runs $200, poses the question that clings to most of Waters' ambitions: "How can we build an egalitarian society based on a lifestyle so few can afford?"

Cleveland recommended as 2016 RNC host city
The Republican National Committee's site selection committee has recommended that the party's 2016 nominating convention be held in Cleveland, Reince Priebus, Chairman of the National Republican Committee announced on FOXNews this morning.
The choice was between Cleveland and Dallas, the RNC announced last month.
newsnet5.com will live stream a 3 p.m. news conference from the Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald.
The RNC Site Selection Committee's vote is the next step before selecting a city to recommend to the full Republican National Committee during August's meeting in Chicago. The choice is contingent upon a succesful negotiation and the approval of the full RNC, the committee notes.
The full committee, made up of three members from each state, will then vote on that recommendation.
The convention will start on July 18.

Paying for the convention was the top criterion for the 12-member site selection committee, the Associated Press reports. The previous two GOP conventions have sapped party dollars during election years, and party Chairman Reince Priebus has insisted the host city not leave the central party picking up the tab, which is expected to be around $60 million.
"I'm confident Cleveland is the right pick for our next national convention. Cleveland has demonstrated they have the commitment, energy, and terrific facilities to help us deliver a history-making Republican convention," Priebus wrote in a statement.
Site Selection Chairwoman Enid Mickelsen and Priebus both thanked Dallas for their hospitality.
When they toured Cleveland during the first week of June, RNC officials offered nothing but praise for the city.
"I'm just totally impressed with Cleveland," said Reince Priebus, adding he knew he would be based on the reaction of the technical committee that visited the city in April.
"The technical team came back and said 'guys you gotta check this out. Cleveland has really done an incredible job,'" he said.
Site Selection Chair Enid Mickelsen said the buildings were impressive, but the committee found so much more than bricks and mortar in Cleveland, they found heart.
"Lots of cities have the technical requirements as far as an arena and enough work space and that kind of thing. At this point what we are looking for is a city that wants us, that's willing to work hard at it, that recognizes that this is a long term commitment," said Mickelsen.
"I mean for the next two and a half years we've got to be working hand in glove and you have some remarkable people. Anything that we've asked about we've gotten, all of the information that we asked for and more back. There's been a lot of innovative thinking things that haven't been suggested at other convention sites before," she said.
Cleveland was also a finalist to host the 2016 Democratic National Convention, but will secede from the running.

I used to listen to the tape while walking around delivering papers in nice NJ neighborhoods during a summer job I had. End to end, over and over. I wore the thing out.
The Harry Hood from this show is what turned me into a Phishhead. I would listen to it and rewind several times per day, savoring each detail and nuance of the performance. It was that good. As a kid who came of age in the late 80s and early 90s, I thought, "Man. Finally, a band that plays their instruments. And isn't afraid to just PLAY them until they feel they're done. This sh*t rules."
There was no turning back after hearing it. And I am thankful.

I've been trying to stream a season of MKV files that are being transcoded by MEncoder, from an iMac (2 core, 4 gigs of RAM, running 10.8.2) to a PS3 that is connected via ethernet. Most MKV files actually stream perfectly, so I'm thinking this is probably something minor regarding this particular rip.
Here are the details from a sample episode:
Container: Matroska
Video Bitrate: ~1300 kbps x264 (CRF = 20)
Resolution: 712x480 (632x480 ~4:3 Anamorphic Presentation)
Frame Rate: ~24 FPS
Audio Tracks: Main 5.1 AC3 (English), Commentary 2.0 64k AAC (English)
Subtitles: Closed Captions (English, Muxed)
Chapters: Present and Muxed
Encoded with Handbrake svn2845 x86_64
High Profile Preset, Denoise (Weak)
The problem: when I stream one of these files, the audio is out of sync by a fairly substantial amount (maybe 5 seconds?).
In my PMS settings, I have tried:
-checking and unchecking "Keep AC-3 track"
-disabling subtitles
-checking and unchecking "A/V sync alternative method", "Force framerate parsed from FFmpeg", and "Remux videos with tsMuxeR" in the MEncoder settings.
-adding in a custom parameter: "container == matroska :: -mc 0 -noskip"
The files play perfectly fine in VLC. Any ideas how I can fix this in PMS?

MARTINEZ -- A 25-year-old Richmond man was convicted Wednesday of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy in 2011.
A Contra Costa County jury deliberated for less than two days before finding Jeremiah Lee Jones guilty of kidnapping with intent to rape and eight felony sex crime charges in connection with the Feb. 4, 2011 attack.
The victim was skateboarding outside his home when Jones grabbed him and dragged him 180 feet to a nearby alley, deputy district attorney Mary Blumberg said. The child's father went searching for his son, came across the sexual assault and saved the boy from Jones.
"John Doe was courageous and brave over the past two years. He's the true definition of a survivor of a deplorable crime," Blumberg said. "Today, the jury's verdict provided him with justice, and now he can begin to truly heal."
Jones faces life in prison without the possibility of parole under Chelsea's Law, which in 2011 enhanced punishments for sex offenses against minors. He will be sentenced April 12.

LAKE TAHOE — Despite concerns from Lake Tahoe water providers, pesticides could soon be used to combat the lake's aquatic weed problems.
The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board approved rule changes last Wednesday that will allow the agency to permit the use of aquatic pesticides under certain conditions.
Existing rules effectively prohibit pesticide application to water within the agency's jurisdiction, which includes Lake Tahoe and covers much of eastern California.
Projects related to public health and ecological preservation are eligible to use aquatic pesticides under the changes. Allowing chemical treatment at Lake Tahoe has attracted support from several agencies concerned with the threat invasive species pose to the lake.
About 20 nonnative species are established in the region. Economic impacts from introductions of new aquatic invasive species, like quagga or zebra mussels, and the expansion of existing species like Eurasian watermilfoil have been estimated at $417.5 million over 50 years.
The largest impacts would be to property values and lost tourism spending, according to a 2009 aquatic invasive species management plan for the region.
Greg Feet, general manager of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association, said he supports Lahontan's changes, saying existing methods to control the spread of invasive species are ineffective.
The annual harvesting of milfoil at the keys does not kill the plant and actually contributes to its spread by creating fragments that float to other areas of the lake and take hold.
"Herbicide is not a good word in the U.S., but invasive species is becoming a bad word too, and I think that is a good thing," Feet said.
But Greg Reed, general manager of Round Hill General Improvement District and Board Chairman of Tahoe Water Suppliers Associations, said he is "very concerned" about the impacts aquatic pesticides could have on drinking water at Lake Tahoe.
Many water providers draw drinking water directly from the lake and would be unable to filter out any pesticides that reach their intake pipes, Reed said.
He asked the board to impose a five-year moratorium on any chemical use on projects at Lake Tahoe, saying the use of pesticides should receive further study at less pristine water bodies before being used here.
Reed said he was appreciated of water board staff's efforts to diminish any effects of pesticide use on water quality, but said the possibility of contaminated water is a frightening one.
"We're still not comfortable this process is going to get us the protection we desire," Reed said.
Water board member Peter Pumphrey questioned whether five years would resolve water purveyors' concerns and said a moratorium could end up becoming indefinite.
The changes to the rules do not guarantee the water board will permit a project to use pesticides at Lake Tahoe, Pumphrey added.
"I think there's enough safeguards in our plan that we can look at each project and really analyze it," said water board member Jack Clarke.
Studying pesticide use at other water bodies may never yield result applicable to Tahoe because of the lake's uniqueness, Clarke said.
According to an Associated Press article, Carl Young of the League to Save Lake Tahoe says his group wants to protect the health of visitors and residents, and is concerned they could be exposed to pesticides through drinking water and the lake's fish.
Final approval of the changes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is scheduled for July.

A cached profile photo that matches his picture, and tweets from other users he's interacted with suggest that this is the twitter account of 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, the fugitive suspect #2 in the Boston Marathon bombings: @J_tsar. The account is listed under the name "Jahar," which is what classmates called him because his full name was hard to pronounce.
Surprisingly, Tsarnaev has been active on Twitter since the bombing. His last tweet was on Wednesday, two days after he is alleged to have helped carry out the Marathon bombing:
The day of the bombing itself, Tsarnaev tweeted:
("Ain't no love in the heart of the city" is a Jay-Z lyric)
Last year he tweeted:
(Update: This is a lyric from a Kanye West song.)
But there is not much on the account that suggests the user of the account was be anything but a normal 19-year-old kid.
He tweeted about Chechnya, where he was born (his family moved to the U.S. in 2002):
He tweeted about music:
and random stuff:
He was also apparently a 9/11 truther:
On twitter, friends he interacted with are expressing shock that he's a suspect.
Especially given his, um, laid-back reputation:
And his friends are now experiencing the inevitable wave of reporters and online gawkers now that the twitter account has been discovered:
Update: BuzzFeed confirms with a high school classmate of Tsarnaev that this is his twitter account.
"I would confirm this as to being his twitter account. Those users went to my high school," said Stefanie Gardner, of the Rindge Class of 2011.

A deputy saw a car weaving on U.S. Highway 6 in Beaver Creek on March 2 and stopped the car.
The 22-year-old driver identified himself with a foreign passport. The deputy found his driving status had been revoked for drunken driving.
The man was arrested for driving with a revoked license and failing to stay in a designated lane.
On March 10, deputies responded to a burglary in progress near the Gopher Road bus stop in Eagle-Vail.
As they arrived, a woman ran toward the patrol car, pointing toward a parking lot.
An officer investigated the lot and encountered a 19-year-old man who matched the suspect's description. The deputy detained him.
The man smelled of alcohol and said he was waiting for his mom to pick him up. He had fresh cuts on his lip and arms. He said he got them snowboarding and later said they were from a "gang beat." He became louder and more aggressive as the interview continued and denied that he had been drinking. Then he blurted, "So what, another (charge of minor in possession of alcohol) - I have six or seven and I always get out."
He was arrested and a search turned up a plastic syringe without a needle and a marijuana grinder. He was placed in the back seat of the patrol car when his mom showed up and said her son might be on medication for a seizure he suffered two weeks ago.
The four residents of the apartment who made the report said they were inside when the 19-year-old arrived.
They said he sat on the couch drinking cinnamon whiskey for an hour and then started making aggressive statements. He got into one of the roommate's faces and punched him in the left eye. Another roommate immediately grabbed the teen and pushed him out the door. The teen also punched that roommate in the left eye.
A few minutes later, the residents opened the door to see if the man was still there. He was and he charged at the door but was locked out. He punched the window next to the door, completely shattering it, and left. A female roommate followed him as she called 911 and pointed him out to deputies as they arrived.
The teen was arrested for burglary, assault, criminal mischief, use of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and a previous warrant for false reporting. During the ride to jail, he threatened to file a lawsuit against the officers as he deliberately attempted to injure his wrists on the handcuffs.
Deputies were contacted March 6 about an incident that happened on Vail Mountain on March 5.
A skier was hospitalized after a 22-year-old snowboarder hit him from behind in a slow zone near a chair lift. A ski instructor who saw the collision and pulled the snowboarder out of the lift line told deputies that the snowboarder went off a jump, landed near the victim, tried to turn away and collided. The boarder got up and quickly went into the lift line without checking on the skier. The ski instructor managed to get the snowboarder's name before he left.
Officers contacted the suspect at work on March 6. The man said he was sorry and asked how the victim was doing. He was cited for assault and for leaving the scene of an accident.
Familiar mug
On March 6, a deputy recognized a man who was driving in Edwards. She knew the 40-year-old man from previous encounters and suspected he did not have a driver license.
The officer contacted the man and asked if he had cleared up the issues with his license. He said he had but records indicated his license was still revoked for drunken driving. He was arrested for driving without a license.
A deputy saw a car with a defective headlight on U.S. 6 in Eagle-Vail on March 4.
The car stopped at a convenience store, where the officer contacted the 27-year-old driver.
The man smelled of alcohol and there were empty beer cans on the passenger floor. The deputy asked him to perform voluntary roadside maneuvers, which he failed. The man was arrested for further investigation of driving under the influence.
He was cited for driving while ability was impaired and for defective headlights.
• A 48-year-old man was cited for trespassing on property at the end of Ute Creek Road in Wolcott on March 4. He said he was hiking and did not know he was trespassing.
• Four rock climbers were charged for trespassing on property in Wolcott on March 11. The previous landowner had allowed climbing on the property's cliffs but now several "No Trespassing" signs are posted.

STOCKTON – The Stockton Police Department displayed mug shots, guns and drugs during a press conference at the Stewart Eberhardt Building on Thursday morning, a day after authorities carried out the latest in a series of raids as part of Operation Family Feud.
The five-month, multiagency investigation targeted members of the Norteno street gang. It has resulted in 39 arrests, including 29 documented gang members, police said. Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said authorities seized dozens of guns and large quantities of drugs, including marijuana, crystal methamphetamine and heroin.
"These were some of the worst of the worst offenders at the very top of the crime pyramid in Stockton," Jones said. "We're very pleased to take these very violent, very dangerous offenders out of commission."

Nice Jim to get warmed up. Good Forbins, complete with Icculus. Good Mockingbird. Pen and Sloth have a few warts in the middle. Landlady and parts of Fluff sound like Trey's out of tune. Broken string? Fluff's Travels has some rough spots too. Sparkle is good. Stash is really good tonight, good jam. Coil has it's problems in the middle, and after a rough start Golgi is a good closer.
So they save most of the antics for the Bowie intro tonight which leads into a messy middle of Bowie itself but a good jam anyway. Cavern is good. YaMar is fast and disjointed at times. The Mike's Groove has a weak climax tonight, and a few rough spots in Hydrogen. Weekapaug is pretty good, sounds like Mike is teasing his bass line to Contact, and a tape flip? The segway into Mango is cool, first one I can recall hearing like that. Horn is ok. Fish can't seem to get the vaccuum to work right away so you get a bonus trombone solo in Love You. "I need some duct tape." he says. Glide is ok, but Llama is a good closer, nice jam.
Double Mike encore again, just happened a few shows ago, is a little lacking although the BBFCFM is rocking as usual. Worst of all right as Fishman starts a little banter before the count off the bootleg gets cut! Oh well.
Ok show, a little lacking in energy and tightness.
