If you didn't begin watching basketball until the 00's, you probably aren't aware of what a game-changer this week's What the Hell Happened To Player was. Randy Brown was picked by the Sacramento Kings in the second round of the 1991 draft out of New Mexico State. His first four seasons he'd stay with the Kings and average around 16 minutes a night as a backup guard. But in October of 1995, Randy would sign with the Chicago Bulls, changing the notoriety his career would have.
Joining any Michael Jordan-lead team would always be a compelling story. But joining the 95-96 Bulls lead by a hyped up MJ who sought revenge on Nick Anderson, the Orlando Magic and any other competitor who got in his way, was extra-special. Those 96 Bulls won a league-record 72 games and the NBA title and many people consider them one of the best teams of all time. Randy Brown was pretty much the fourth guard on those Bulls teams behind Jordan and Ron Harper, and Steve Kerr. Brown would win two more titles with the Bulls the next two years in 1997 and 1998.
I always find it amusing how certain guys find themselves in the right situation. More people are likely to remember Gabe Pruitt on the Celtics rather than Lester Hudson, strictly because he was on the title-winning team. (Pruitt wasn't nearly better than Brown, just making a "fame" comparison). James Worthy's in the Hall of Fame because he played with Magic and Kareem but Bernard King isn't because he played with Pat Cummings and Louie Orr.
Randy stayed one more year with the Bulls after their second 3-peat concluded, and it was definitely one year too many. With Tim Floyd patrolling the sideline, the Bulls set a record for futility by going from 62 wins to 13-37 in the lockout shortened season. That Bulls team was loaded with ideal guys for WTHHT. Check these names out: Kornel David, Rusty LaRue, Cory Carr, Corey Benjamin, and Mario Bennett were some of their players. Toni Kukoc and Ron Harper were leftovers, along with Dickey Simpkins, Bill Wennington and Brown. That was the team that lost a game 82-49 to the Miami Heat. Defenses had gotten so physical and that Bulls' team was so putrid that they didn't even crack 50 points. No wonder there were big time hand-checking rule adjustments in 2003. Thanks again Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy for setting NBA basketball back years.
The Evil Emperor had a good idea in mind bringing him to Boston to tutor the younger players when he signed him in August of 2000. But when the players tune out the coach, it's pretty irrelevant who you bring on board. Brown played in 54 games for the 2000 Celtics, starting 35 of them. He'd average about 23 minutes a night and 4.1 points. Those numbers meant a lot more when he was winning titles with Jordan and Pippen.
I saw Brown play a lot on Chicago. He was a tenacious defender and acted as a sparkplug for the Bulls. He wasn't an all-star by any means but he was a very solid role player who played his role to perfection. Some nights he wouldn't play since all the minutes would go to Ron Harper and Steve Kerr. But when Chicago needed a defensive lockdown guy to really hound the ball, he was the guy to go to. His offensive game was flashy with some impressive dunks but he could also knock down the occasional 17 foot jumper. If Celtic fans associate instant-offense with Eddie House coming off the bench, then the best way to categorize Brown is instant defense. There were countless games where he'd check in and right away there would be a deflection or a steal.
Looking back I totally didn't remember him being on Boston during the 2002 season. He only played one game that year but was included in the Buffoon's wonderful move of shipping Joe Johnson for Rodney Rogers and Tony Delk.
For the past 3 years Randy has served as the Director of Player Development for the Bulls, which means he does things like going around Chicago with Bill Wennington displaying the championship trophies Chicago won. [Hate to end this on a tangent, but has anyone aged faster than Wennington? When he was on the Bulls he was in his 30s and today he is 48. Take a look first at this picture of him while playing. And now this one of him retired. Looks a lot older]. Hopefully this article takes off, and bumps down some of the negative press out there regarding Randy, which is really awful and undeserved.

OAKLAND -- Highland Hospital has been verified a Level II Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons.
"Highland Hospital's trauma center earned this designation following the most rigorous verification process in the country. This is a major milestone for the hospital and for Alameda Health System," said Dr. Gregory Victorino, head of trauma for Alameda Health System, in a release. Alameda Health System runs the hospital.
Hospitals voluntarily undergo the verification by the American College of Surgeons, which sends a team to analyze care before a patient is hospitalized through rehabilitation.
Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, which has a Level II Trauma Center, also has been verified. UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, which has a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center, also has gone through the American College of Surgeons' process and is awaiting results.

After the gun massacre in Newtown, Conn., in December, the ground shifted for good. Assault weapons, high-capacity magazines and background checks became a permanent part of the conversation, as did movies and video games. Everyone -- even movie fans -- seemed willing to re-examine our national obsession with violence and a popular culture addicted to aggression, senseless gunplay and reckless notions of rough justice.
Then, the blood-spattered spaghetti Western "Django Unchained" opened -- on Christmas Day, of all times, not even a week after "Jack Reacher" arrived in theaters, its first-person perspective of a sniper recalling the events of mid-December with a repellent shudder.
In successive weeks, theaters were awash in a sea of unbridled carnage and ballistic mayhem, as "Gangster Squad," "Parker," "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," "Bullet to the Head" and "Stand Up Guys" blasted their way onto neighborhood screens. In the most perverse coincidence of the season, "The Last Stand," starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and an enormous machine gun, arrived the very day that the Aurora Century 16 in Colorado reopened after a mass shooting there in July.
"This time it's different?" Hollywood seemed to taunt. "Prove it."
And we did. Sort of.
Consider: "Django Unchained" was an instant hit, becoming the most successful movie of Quentin Tarantino's career.
The sight of such icons as Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise and Sylvester Stallone trying to look tough while wielding their high-caliber phallic symbols wasn't just a ridiculous burlesque of macho posturing. After Newtown, it was downright distasteful. As reader Peter Hoagland wrote in an e-mail in December, he wasn't sure where the post-Newtown conversation about gun violence was going, "but I for one am no longer willing to support it in films."
It seems that Mr. Hoagland wasn't alone. There are myriad variables at work whenever box-office numbers are in play -- it could be that audiences simply think Cruise, Schwarzenegger and Stallone have outlived their credibility as action heroes. But another possible takeaway from the past six weeks' worth of action flicks is that, when it came to screen violence, we accepted it in a universe of fables and flagrantly outlandish B-movies and rejected it in more realistic stories.
It might be wishful thinking, but I'd like to think that audiences can tell the difference between escapist fantasy and the kind of brutal realism -- or realistic brutalism -- that doesn't just fetishize guns and bloody violence but normalizes them. They can tell, as Mr. Hoagland wrote in a more recent e-mail, when "they are being played for chumps."
Audiences can also tell whether they're being respected or coerced. The Oscar-nominated CIA thriller "Zero Dark Thirty"opened like gangbusters here in January, when its top-performing theaters were (surprise, surprise) in Northern Virginia locations convenient to military, intelligence and policymaking personnel. Despite premature criticism from politicians, journalists and activists who took issue with the film's depiction of torture and its role in the search for Osama bin Laden, "Zero Dark Thirty" has found a large and receptive audience of viewers who presumably can judge for themselves whether waterboarding or old-fashioned intelligence-gathering proved more crucial in the hunt.
The debates about violence -- whether vigilante or state-sanctioned -- come down to one conclusion: that in a world of proliferating media, the ability to decode what movies say and how they say it has never been more important. Media literacy has now become as important as the three R's. We still have a long way to go in making media literacy an everyday part of school curricula and living-room conversations. But generations raised on a steady diet of visual information have proved remarkably astute in sifting through movies, their messages and the moments when they go too far.
We don't possess granular information on how subtly audiences processed the lurid revisionism of "Django Unchained" or whether they emerged from "Zero Dark Thirty" believing that torture has a justified place in American foreign policy. But the box-office figures do suggest that audiences are far more sophisticated and discerning than pundits -- and movie studios -- often give them credit for.
It will take more long-range data to detect a bona fide post-Newtown trend: "Die Hard Another Day" opens in a few days, and this summer will see its usual complement of shoot-'em-up spectacles. But over these past few weeks, at least for a moment, American filmgoers seemed willing to send Hollywood their own message: This time it really is different. We've finally had it with being played for chumps.

ATLANTA (AP) -- A northwest Georgia coroner has confirmed a man was killed in a severe thunderstorm that left tens of thousands of people without power a day later.
Polk County Coroner Trey Litesey confirmed that James Larry Agan died after a falling tree landed on his truck during a thunderstorm Monday evening. Authorities are unsure of Agan's age.
The storm brought high winds and pelted some areas with hail the size of golf balls. Georgia Power officials said 73,000 customers lost power Monday night and about 21,700 were still without service Tuesday afternoon.
As power was still being restored across Georgia Tuesday, Polk County had the highest number of outages statewide, followed by Floyd County, Georgia Power reported. Baldwin, Bibb and Jones counties also had significant numbers of outages, utility officials said.
Monday, March 18, 2013
ATLANTA (AP) -- The National Weather Service has issued severe thunderstorm warnings throughout the state, and forecasters say the weather system brought rain, hail, and heavy winds with it.
Meteorologists issued tornado warnings for parts of north Georgia -- including metro Atlanta -- and severe thunderstorm warnings for other areas throughout the state Monday afternoon.
The storm is part of a system that moved across Alabama earlier Monday and hammered areas of the state with high winds, quarter-sized hail and heavy rain.
National Weather Service meteorologists in Peachtree City say thunderstorms are expected to increase in strength throughout the afternoon and pose a threat for damaging winds.
Forecasters say they expect severe thunderstorm watches to extend to most counties in central and southern Georgia as the system moved deeper into the state.

Disdain all around
WASHINGTON — While accusing the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative justices of "disdain for democracy," Pamela S. Karlan proves herself talented at dispensing disdain. The Stanford law professor is, however, less talented at her chosen task of presenting a coherent understanding of judicial review. Still, her "Democracy and Disdain" in the November Harvard Law Review usefully illustrates progressivism's consistent disdain for the Founders' project of limiting government.
The primary focus of her displeasure is, remarkably, Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion mostly upholding Obamacare. But she begins by being appalled at Justice Antonin Scalia's suggestion that the lopsided majorities by which Congress in 2006 extended Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act were "a reason not for deference, but for suspicion." Well.

OAKLAND -- Travis Blackley appeared to be the weak link in the A's pitching plans. Instead, he helped his team to within one victory of a division title.
The lefty from Australia held the Texas Rangers to three hits over six innings Tuesday as the A's won 3-1, setting up a final-day showdown for the American League West crown.
The A's were nine games out of first place as late as July 17. They enter Wednesday afternoon's regular season finale deadlocked with Texas at 93-68.
They also bring a swagger into a game that figures to be played before a jam-packed crowd at the Coliseum.
"As long as we believe inside this clubhouse, and we know we can get it done, we're gonna do it," A's closer Grant Balfour said. "I honestly believe we're gonna win tomorrow."
Is that a guarantee?
"Nothing's guaranteed, but it's about as good as."
Winning the division holds more value than in years past because of the addition of a second wild card in each league.
The division champ advances straight to the A.L. Division Series, beginning a best-of-five series either Saturday or Sunday. The loser plays a do-or-die wild-card game Friday against either the Baltimore Orioles or the New York Yankees, whichever team does not win the A.L. East.
The two-time defending A.L. champion Rangers have lost eight of their past 12 and must be feeling the pressure after dropping the first two of this three-game series.
Not that they were letting on.
"We've played in these pressure situations the last couple years," Rangers starter Matt Harrison said. "We know what it takes to win that one game."
For all the talk of the A's attendance woes, the team has fed off the energy in the Coliseum the past two nights. Attendance was announced at 30,660 Tuesday, with approximately 12,000 in walk-up sales.
"In any sport, at any level, you win and they'll come," designated hitter Jonny Gomes said.
Blackley (6-4), a 29-year-old journeyman with just six big league victories to his credit before Tuesday, hadn't lasted more than two innings in either of his previous two starts. He got tagged for five runs in just one inning on Thursday at Texas.
But the only run he allowed came in the third, when Josh Hamilton drilled an RBI double.
The A's took the lead on Derek Norris' run-scoring single to right in the fifth. When Nelson Cruz bobbled the ball for an error, Brandon Moss raced home to add a second run and give the A's a 2-1 lead.
Gomes' homer in the sixth off Harrison (18-11) added insurance.
Blackley didn't party quite as hard as his teammates after Monday's victory that clinched a wild-card berth, knowing the importance of Tuesday's start.
"I obviously couldn't get as rowdy as they did," Blackley said.
Then he got a pregame pep talk from Balfour, who told his fellow Aussie to "be a bulldog like you are."
Balfour has joined Ryan Cook and Sean Doolittle in a bullpen trio that has blanked Texas over the final three innings each of the past two nights.
Melvin said he was unsure of his bullpen availability for Wednesday.
"I don't look at him as a rookie," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "This guy is an experienced guy, and he plays like a veteran."
Tommy Milone is currently on turn to pitch Friday.
Morabito is in his 33rd year arranging the A's travel, and he said this is the craziest scenario he's dealt with because so much is still unsettled as far as postseason matchups.
"The only thing that fell into place is we know what five teams are going to be in," Morabito said.
The most unusual scenario would be if the Orioles won and the Yankees and A's both lost Wednesday. Baltimore and New York would have to play a tiebreaker game Thursday to determine the A.L. East champ, and the loser would host the A's in Friday's wild-card game.
In that scenario, Morabito said the A's cross-country flight Thursday likely would be delayed until they knew which city they were playing in.

Sunday's letters: Secessionist is it again
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 4:30 p.m.
It's the next step in the 2013 secessionist movement. On Wednesday, South Carolina's House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Law held a hearing on H3101, otherwise known as the "nullification" bill that seeks to nullify the Affordable Care Act. Many tea party activists gave testimony, but one of the speakers, Donald Livingston of Georgia, went so far as to advocate secession during his testimony.
Mr. Livingston was invited by state Rep. Bill Chumley.
It didn't matter that Mr. Livingston later admitted he hadn't read the bill, for as the former director of the League of the South, a neo-confederate group that supports secession from the United States, he knows what's best for our state. Never mind that the Southern Poverty Law Center has classified the League of the South as a racist hate group.
Mr. Chumley, what's that saying — "Tell me your company, and I'll tell you who you are"?

So far to the right
It is inevitable that the political children of tea party stalwart Jim DeMint will run for high office, and it is no surprise to learn that state Sen. Lee Bright is thinking about throwing his hat into the ring to oppose U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham.
If Sen. Bright does run, true conservatives, centrists and liberals must join together to defeat him, much as we almost defeated Gov. Nikki Haley.
Sen. Bright, like Gov. Haley, is so far right that he makes Rep. Trey Gowdy seem like a flaming liberal, a scary thought indeed.
Sen. Bright's extreme record and edgy comments (on currency, warming, immigration and gun manufacturing, for example) show his intense dislike, even scorn, for the federal government, and he doesn't appear to have too much use for state government, either. In fact, I'm convinced that he dislikes virtually all government, to my mind a strange form of loyalty.
Our great state deserves better.
Bill Pell
Keep him out of Washington
The more I read about state Sen. Lee Bright, the more incredibly ridiculous I believe him to be. Let's take a look at his list of suggestions and failed legislative efforts:
(1) He supports nullification on some key issues, thereby rejecting established federal law.
(2) He rejects medical aid for abortions in cases of rape or incest.
(3) He actually supports a separate currency for South Carolina.
(4) He, despite the overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary, disbelieves in global warming.
(5) He feels weapons manufactured in South Carolina should be free of all federal regulations.
(6) He wants our children to be taught how to shoot weapons as an "elective" in schools.
(7) He has actually stated, "Just because the Supreme Court says something is constitutional, it doesn't make it constitutional."
And now he's actually considering trying to unseat Lindsey Graham at the federal level. At least as a state senator, he can be kept in his cage and not allowed to do any real harm, but let loose in Congress in Washington, I can only envision two scenarios: Either he'll stall important legislation on anything worthwhile that doesn't suit his idiotic agenda, or he will be laughed out of the chamber.
I can only hope that, in the most unfortunate event he actually gets elected, it'll be the latter. Otherwise, God help us all!

The use of compounded topical anesthetic rinses should be considered carefully relative to the cost of compounding these products versus their actual efficacy.
Irrigation should be performed before topical medication is applied because removal of debris and saliva allows for better coating of oral tissues and prevents material from accumulating. Frequent rinsing cleans and lubricates tissues, prevents crusting, and palliates painful gingiva and mucosa.
Systemic analgesics should be administered when topical anesthetic strategies are not sufficient for clinical relief. Opiates are typically used;[26][Level of evidence: II] the combination of chronic indwelling venous catheters and computerized drug administration pumps to provide PCA has significantly increased the effectiveness of controlling severe mucositis pain while lowering the dose and side effects of narcotic analgesics. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs that affect platelet adhesion and damage gastric mucosa are contraindicated, especially if thrombocytopenia is present.
Although mucositis continues to be one of the dose-limiting toxicities of fluorouracil (5-FU), cryotherapy may be an option for preventing oral mucositis. Because 5-FU has a short half-life (5-20 minutes), patients are instructed to swish ice chips in their mouths for 30 minutes, beginning 5 minutes before 5-FU is administered.[41][Level of evidence: I] Oral cryotherapy has been studied in patients receiving high-dose melphalan conditioning regimens used with transplantation;[42,43] further research is needed.
Many agents and protocols have been promoted for management or prevention of mucositis.[44,45,46] Although not adequately supported by controlled clinical trials, allopurinol mouthwash and vitamin E have been cited as agents that decrease the severity of mucositis. Prostaglandin E2 was not effective as a prophylaxis of oral mucositis following bone marrow transplant, although studies indicate possible efficacy when prostaglandin E2 is administered via a different dosing protocol.

Sometimes exercise triggers asthma symptoms. This is called exercise-induced asthma (EIA).
The symptoms of EIA are coughing, wheezing, a feeling of tightness in your chest, or shortness of breath. Most times, these symptoms start soon after you stop exercising. Some people may have symptoms after they start exercising.
Having asthma symptoms when you exercise does not mean you cannot or should not exercise. But be aware of your EIA triggers.
Cold or dry air may trigger your asthma symptoms. If you do exercise in cold or dry air:
Do not exercise when the air is polluted. Do not exercise near fields or lawns that have just been mowed.
Warm up before you exercise, and cool down afterward:
Some kinds of exercise may be less likely to trigger asthma symptoms than others.
Activities that keep you moving fast all the time are more likely to trigger asthma symptoms, such as running, basketball, or soccer.
Take your short-acting, or quick-relief, inhaled medicines before you exercise.
Long-acting, inhaled medicines may also help.
Follow your doctor's advice on which medicines to use and when.

Irish chart-topping band The Script is enjoying success on both sides of the Atlantic, fueled by its mainstream hit "Breakeven" and a concert tour that lands on the East Coast this week. MIKE FARRAGHER chats to lead singer Danny O'Donoghue about the band's success, and plans for the future.
You'd have to be living under a rock not to heard of The Script. Fronted by charismatic singer Danny O'Donoghue, the band has struck chart gold with hits like "Breakeven" and "We Cry."
The band, which includes fellow Dubliners Mark Sheehan and Glen Power, has shared the stage with U2 and Paul McCartney, had their songs featured on shows and VH1 playlists, and sold two million units worldwide.
Yet this is not the story of an overnight sensation. These are Irish music veterans working for years in boy bands (Mytown) and behind the scenes as songwriters and producers before forming The Script.
I have interviewed O'Donoghue over the years in each of those incarnations, and it is truly heartwarming to see the success that this tireless work is now bestowing on him.
Now, he is mopping up as much juice as possible with the late-breaking success of their monster hit "Breakeven" by headlining a U.S. tour this month (they stop in New York at Terminal 5 on Thursday and Friday, November 4 and 5).
After that, they will be unleashing their second album. Science & Faith hits U.S. shores in January.
In the event you are worried about the stereotypical sophomore slump, fear not! The new album is currently enjoying the top slot on the U.K. charts.
I spoke with O'Donoghue last week about fame, Twitter, and the making of the new Script album. Here's how it went:
When we last spoke in February, the album was just gaining steam on VH1. Now look at you! Number one hits! What were the highlights for you?
We are doing in the past two years what some other bands spent a lifetime to do. The first album went to number one in the U.K. and the U.S., and now the second one hit number one in the U.K. Having number one albums is certainly a highlight.
Supporting Paul McCartney in New York and U2 in our home turf was a highlight as well. Those gigs were unreal.
I can't imagine what it would be like to have Paul McCartney give you a nod like that.
To get a seal of approval from a guy like him was amazing. We were told we were his favorite band and we didn't believe it. We just assumed he heard one of the hits or something.
But he really did like the whole album and was very generous with his audience. He encouraged us to go for it!
I spoke with Glen Hansard about supporting groups…
(Interrupts) I am very familiar with Glen! He inducted me into rock and roll. My brother's band toured with them years ago and at the tender age of 14, he fed me booze and cigarettes in the back of the tour bus and taught me cards.
I remember a game called s***thead that he would play. It was an Irish rock and roll hall of fame moment.
Good story. Glen's philosophy is that he would love to be the support band so that he could steal the audience. Did you feel that way?
I'd say that. A lot of bands would shy away from having a band that gave them a run for their money, but the ones that know they deliver the goods aren't too worried about the support band.
You don't want to go see two crap bands, and the headliner knows that. There is a lot of ego there as well, but we have been lucky in that the people we have worked with have encouraged us to do our best.
You must have been gratified as a songwriter for Kris Allen to have a hit with "Live Like We're Dying." (O'Donoghue and Sheehan were co-writers of the song.)
When we did that song we did it loads of different ways. We believed in it and loved it, but it didn't look like a hit. We released it as a B-side for Germany.
His A&R man heard something in it that he liked for Kris. We had a battle in some stations where they would add his song and drop ours from rotation and vice-versa.
We were delighted to have that kind of problem! It was a good battle to be in because you win either way.
Did you like what they did with it, and how did it feel to hear the song re-worked?
It was cool. One thing as a songwriter you are trying to do is that you hope the song stands up, regardless of who sings it. Can you strip it down to piano, guitar, and kazoo -- will it still be a good song?
I loved your album when it first came out and I played it for my teenage daughter. She hated it, until she heard it on the radio more and she is now a fan. Kids today!
It's great to hear you say that, and not the first time I have heard it go down that way. True music lovers caught onto the album first, and then the industry turned their ear to it. From there, it becomes popular culture.

Dozens charged with abuse at Ga. Alzheimer's center
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 11:57 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 11:57 a.m.
COMMERCE, Ga. (AP) — Nearly two-dozen former employees of a Georgia center for people with Alzheimer's disease are facing more than 70 charges amid allegations of cruel treatment of patients.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents say the charges stem from a three-month investigation of Alzheimer's Care of Commerce.
Agents used a search warrant on Tuesday morning to search for evidence at the center, about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta.
GBI officials say the investigation uncovered accounts of physical abuse, such as staff members striking patients and throwing water on them.
Authorities say warrants for the arrests of 21 former and present employees were issued. Charges including cruelty to people 65 or older and involve accusations of abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
A telephone message left at the center Tuesday morning was not immediately returned.

OK, you Stanford fans, as much as we hate to admit it, our sputtering Cal football team hasn't sniffed the Rose Bowl since Eisenhower was president. You've got us there (for now). But if it's a food fight you want, bring it, and we'll turn your dorky Tree mascot into a pathetic twig.
At our historic and freshly renovated Memorial Stadium, the game-day menu is all about diversity. Then again, judging from your enrollment data, you wouldn't know what that word means.
Gone are the days when choices were limited to hot dogs, peanuts and stale popcorn. Now, the decadent staples are joined by such eclectic offerings as spring rolls, veggie burgers, clam chowder bread bowls, sushi, portobello wraps and chicken salads.
Yes, here at Cal, hummus and pita chips are the new nachos. Moreover, the in-house concessions are supplemented by a handful of local vendors. Before a recent game, we sampled craft beers from Drake's Brewing of San Leandro out on Maxwell Field (no alcohol is served inside the stadium). During the game, we devoured a knish from Tante's of Oakland.
What's a knish? It's a crispy concoction made up of potatoes, spinach, onions and flavorful spices. Try one sometime, when you need to get the taste of a putrid performance by Stanford's marching band out of your mouth.
The upgrades at Memorial aren't so surprising, given that progressive Berkeley is home to the Gourmet Ghetto, including the world-class Chez Panisse restaurant. And while Alice Waters may not approve of all the football fare (our serving of orange chicken was only lukewarm), the creativity and sense of fun put into the overall menu is enough to make the snootiest Stanfordite red with jealousy.
Even the humble hot dog gets a fresh twist here. Spotted at a snack bar called Fifty-Yard Franks were an "Artichoke Dog," a "Frito Pie Dog," and a "Texan Dog." We tackled the latter, which came packed with a Polish sausage and shredded cheese, topped by a hearty helping of pulled pork. It's enough to get you through a long day of tree-sitting.
Sure, some of the food is on the pricey side (our "Texan Dog" was $10), but we've seen the BMWs you drive and know you can afford it. To add more bite to your meal, we suggest you gaze out from your seats at the end zone, where, on one glorious fall day, Cal tight end Kevin Moen made a crash-test dummy out of a clueless Stanford trombone player.
Better yet, do like we did and consume a plate of California roll sushi at a table in Memorial Stadium's main concourse while casting your eyes at our stately Sather Tower, the Bay Bridge and the glittery lights of San Francisco.
It's a view Stanford will never be able to beat.

- San Francisco 49ers: Harbaugh excited about rookie crop
- San Francisco 49ers' new safety Reid: 'I want to earn it'
SANTA CLARA -- Marcus Lattimore has no qualms about the 49ers' insistence he returns slowly from a gruesome knee injury that cut short his junior season at South Carolina.
Lattimore underwent a thorough medical examination Thursday at Stanford University, and his right knee "looks good structurally," coach Jim Harbaugh reported Friday.
Lattimore said Harbaugh "stressed" to him to take his time recovering from what was his second major knee injury in as many seasons, having torn the ACL in his left knee in 2011.
While Harbaugh called it premature to count out Lattimore this season, the coach added: "He's got to take a step back with cutting, because we want the inside of his knee to heal." Lattimore is limited to an observer's role for the 49ers' three-day, rookie camp that began Friday. He's OK with sitting out all season if that's what the doctors order.
"That'll be fine. Whatever happens over the next few months will determine that," Lattimore said. "If I'm called upon, hopefully I'll be ready." Lattimore was drafted two weeks ago in the fourth round. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, himself a one-time 49ers draft pick, offered advice to his former star running back: "He told me about the weather and how nice it was. And he said, 'Keep being yourself and you'll be fine.' " Lattimore has not yet met 49ers running back Frank Gore, who reached out and consoled Lattimore after he tore three ligaments against Tennessee on Oct. 27.

Study recognizes DTC health benefits
Study recognizes DTC health benefits
03.06.13 | By
I explored a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) today and was encouraged by its balanced views on direct to consumer advertising (DTC), including recognition that DTC advertising helps patients on numerous fronts.
According to Dr. Dhaval Dave, the study author, associate professor of economics at Bentley University and research associate for the NBER, DTC can educate "consumers with regard to treatment options for their symptoms" and facilitate communication between patients and physicians.
In addition, the study found that advertising can help patients who are currently on medication stick to their treatment regimens. An increasing body of research shows that improved adherence helps to not only improve outcomes, but control other health care costs such costly medical procedures and hospitalizations. A great example is with Medicare Part D. According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, implementation of Part D was followed by a $1,200 decrease in nondrug medical spending, such as hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, in the second year of the program among beneficiaries who previously had limited or no drug coverage.
Raising awareness of diseases and treatment options can be empowering for patients, encouraging them to learn more and talk with their doctors about their medical care and concerns. All of this helps patients take a more active role in their health, control other health care costs, and spur dialogue with health care providers. The more we communicate, the better, and it is good to know that DTC is helping patients reap health benefits.

EATON COUNTY (WILX)-- On the morning of January 24th 16 year-old Haille Collett's car slid into a school bus on icy Nixon road in Grand Ledge. Both were hurt but her 13-year old sister Brielle was much worse.
Thursday Haille learned she will be charged in the accident. It's the latest blow for the family who had been celebrating slight improvements in Brielle's condition.
Brielle, who has extensive brain damage has been able to start communicating to her family through a thumbs up/ thumbs down system. They are currently working on speech therapy.
News Ten's Alyssa Fenske talked with the prosecutor and the family Friday about the charge against Haille.
The official charge is a "Moving Violation Causing Serious Injury."
Joli Collett, mother of Brielle and Haille says the charge came as a shock.
"When it rains it pours. First it was the accident, then all the surgeries we went through, and now this."
Joli says Hallie has been helping to care for her sister. She often goes to Brielle's Grand Rapids rehab facility to be with her.
"She (Hallie) has memories of the accident and that's why the notification of these charges came as such a blow," said Joli.
Family or not, with the extent of the injuries Eaton County Prosecutor Jeff Sauter says he's decided Haille should be charged in juvenile court.
"We're not looking for any particular outcome. If the facts warrant we believe we should hold people accountable for their behavior."
Haille did not get a ticket in the crash according to her attorney James White. She faces a maximum of two years in a juvenile facility, but neither Sauter or White sees that happening.
"A juvenile court's focus is on rehabilitation. It's not a punishment orientated process," said Sauter.
"Hallie is also a victim here," said White.
For Jolie it's a nightmare that can't end soon enough.
"This is devastating for my two girls to have to go through this. These are two girls that are very close and love each other."
Sauter tells us the judge in juvenile court has the power not to accept the case and if that happens that would be the end of it.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 10th.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Medical Coverage Woes Reach Middle Class
June 10, 2008 -- Twenty-five million U.S. adults are in danger of financial hardship, debt, or bankruptcy from medical bills, even though they have health insurance, a study released Thursday concludes.
The report shows that the number of underinsured Americans -- many of them middle-class -- jumped 60% between 2003 and 2007. That's in addition to the 47 million Americans whose health and finances are at risk because they lack health coverage altogether, it concludes.
"As a nation, we are losing ground," says study researcher Cathy Schoen.
"Today in the U.S., you can have insurance all year long but still go into medical debt or face bankruptcy when you get sick," says Schoen, a senior vice president at The Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit health care think-tank.
The report defined people as "underinsured" if they were insured all year but spent 10% or more of their income on medical expenses. Low-income people who spent 5% of their income on medical bills and anyone whose insurance deductibles were 5% or more of their income also qualified as underinsured in the study.
Many employers are paring back coverage in their health plans as a way to cut costs. Increasingly employers are turning to plans with higher deductibles, higher co-pays, or other features requiring workers to spend more of their own money.
Small businesses and workers who buy their own coverage on the individual market are the most vulnerable to cutbacks that can lead to underinsurance, says Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund.
The number of middle-class people who now qualify as underinsured "nearly tripled" during the study, Schoen says.
Researchers also warned that underinsured are likely to skip doctors' visits, leave prescriptions unfilled, or forgo needed treatment in an effort to save money.
"The underinsured look a lot like the uninsured," Schoen says.
The study included a telephone survey of 3,501 adults from across the U.S. from June 6 through Oct. 24, 2007. It published today in the online version of the journal Health Affairs.

Reading V LFC aftermath !!
We can't score to save our lives.. come on .. this is against the worst team in the EPL.. Utter #$%$. we should remame the club Just Wide.. cos thats what we've been lately.. finishing has been poor.. we could fire shots all day at them but if we can't make it count whats the point? We need at least another striker in the summer.. I'd swap Cavani for Suarez..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Armchair...spot-on mate just watched the game and we could have played all nigh and not scored !Seem to recallothers on here saying scoring wasnt our problem the backline leaking goals was ?However my rebuttal of that was that its no good scoring eight in two 4.0 wins and then drawing the other six games 0.0 better to be more consistent in u scoring and spread it out across eight 1.0 wins and collar 24 pts rather than 12pts from the same number of games. The problem is attitude imo many of the players out there didnt look hungry enought to go for the 3pts...for me Sturridge after a good start is begining to looklike yet another BR TRANSFER BUST. The owners should point blank refuse to let him buy in this Williams from Swansea hes yet another at best average player...and we have fartoo many of them right now as it is. Im certain there will be those who disagree with our assessment of todays performance armchair and will make theexcuse of the goalie having an absolute blinder but many of what initially looked like good saves were simply bad finishing that enabled him to make them...many of those chances should have been buried inthe back of the net he shouldnt have been able to get near them..Sturridge imo was particularly guilty today of wastefulness and poor technique in not getting his bosy over the ball and getting the job done . Anyway for me this was a diabollically poor performance this was not a sterling rearguard action the like of West Ham's this was the worst team inthe Prem who have lost their last SEVEN games ??? They gave us plenty of space to work with but we as so many times this season proved we just arent up to the job....Rogers tactics imo are very much to blame and when u lookat him on the touchline Ive never seen such a miserable uninspiring coach..Ive seen more animation from statues on this form we will be lucky to stay out of the relegation zone next season...on this evidence and with two or three more transfer busts from Rogers next seaon will be even worse than this season. I am not looking fw to next season.

You know sometimes Colin I really scratch my head at how we can watch the same game but see something obviously completely different. I'll leave the performance by McCarthy to one side, it's not just my eyes who say he had a good match but almost everything I've read about the game, but if you and Sofa think otherwise do be it.
But I will ask how dominating possession and throwing almost everything but the kitchen sink at the Reading goal is a sign of poor attitude? If it was just side to side or backward passing all game, which I know you've accused the BR tactics of amounting to, maybe you'd have a point, but as you can't really get to the oppositions box let alone take a shot if your only passing backward or sideways, I 'm wondering how on earth we got so many shots on goal.
I'm also curious why because a man standing in the rain not believing what he's seeing is evidence we must be bound for the relegation part of the table next term. I mean considering BR took a team who actually performed (results don't lie remember) no better than a relegation battler in the second half of last season, and imo moved them forward, why because he's not jumping up and down does it mean we'll go back to the form of last season?
Awfull..................but guess who wants to come back and manage us again?
LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Apr 13, 2013 18:00 Flag
Williams should never come to us.. just aint good enough.. if we continue to buy average players we'll be an average squad. Average squads don't win league titles or cups. FSG like to buy them young and sell at a profit. Buying Williams contradicts that. Williams won't be worth much in fact he'd be released as free. I'm sure we've young defenders who'd love to play in the first team and they'd be cheap. If Rodgers can only buy players who he's worked with before then thats a weak manager. A good manager goes and watches players, from various clubs & countries and watches intently to see if they fit in.
arnoldlayne arnoldlayne Apr 14, 2013 08:28 Flag
good points you make.... although I think we need more than cavani to save us..... maybe a defender who can score from a set piece (can we actually score from one?) maybe 3 midfielders with proven ability rather than 'ones for the future', and maybe 2 forwards again with proven ability rather than 'young ones'! And notice how Brenda bigs up the goalkeeper, takes the focus off him and the team! 4points dropped, 2 goalless draws against poor sides but then again maybe that is the best it gets from an 'average' side!

Yes BR took his hat off, but are you telling us McCarthy did not have a good game? Are you telling me the commentators and pundits talking about the game were all lying when they say he had a world class outing?
ARNOLD layne..GOOD TO HEAR FROM U MATE..yes the goalkeeper was superb but a number of those opportunities we had should have been buriedin the back of the net before the man had a chance to get anywhere nr them...poor finishing technique made some of his saves look better than they really were..and once again Sturridge was very wasteful failing to get his body well over the ball when he struck it instead of getting the job done..hes starting to look like a very average player which is for themost part with the possible exception of Couhtino what Rogers has brought tothis once great club of ours. Im advocating getting rid of this man hes an apprentice not a journeyman manager he has poor credentials and should never have been appointed by FSG hes learning his trade as he makes his on the job mistakes at the expense of our club..if he is still here at start of next season we are going to have exactly the same kind of season we have had this season one of inconsistency with no silverware at the end of it..we NEED to bit e the bullet now and sart the process of getting rid of this man and bringing in a real journeyman manager . I look at this guy on the touchline and Ive never seen a more miserable looking coach hes totally inanimate...no wonder the lads out there out on the pitch arent inspired to develop the winning mentality that leads to becoming a habit of winning !
I can understand the frustration but I can't believe how quickly opinion can sway here. Calls for Rafa to return give me the shudders and do we really think that Torres is anywhere near the player he was 3 years ago?
The frustrations are fair. I've got no answers but please look carefully at what we're asking for and the long term impact. In a small way we've seen how City have lost their own momentum through the various issues that are going on there. Still plenty good enough no doubt but they should be better this season.
Changes in direction can be as bad as sticking with what you have. The contrary is also true I agree but we've started something at Liverpool and I believe it needs to be seen through. With who as manager can be debated but for me I just want the same ideals to be followed

Sitar Master Ravi Shankar Dies at Age 92
Ravi Shankar, the Indian sitar master who built a global following and pioneered the charity concert, has died.
His official website carried this statement: "With profound grief and sorrow, we mourn the passing of Pandit Ravi Shankar on December 11, 2012. He died in San Diego at 4:30 pm Pacific time. He was 92."
Shankar influenced the music of the Beatles and was also the father of jazz-pop star Norah Jones (he played virtually no role in her life when she was growing up). Another of his daughters (by another mother), Anoushka Shankar, has also built a following as a sitar player.
Born in 1920 in Varanasi to a well-off Brahmin family, Shankar left a possible career as a dancer behind to study sitar.
From an early age he was driven by a powerful blend of curiosity and spirituality. "In my childhood I was always eager to learn about the miraculous feats of such spiritual masters as Lahiri Mahasai or his famous friend Trailanga Swami, who was reputed to be over 300 years old and certainly weighed over 300 pounds.," he wrote in "Raga Mala: The Autobiography of Ravi Shankar."
He traveled to Paris in the 1930s and broke through as a performer in the West in the 1960s, winning the ear and the respect of Beatles star George Harrison (who became his student).
In "Raga Mala," Shankar wrote that he met Harrison for the first time in June of 1966 in a friend's house in London. And while he would see the other Beatles from time to time, "Something clicked from the very beginning with George."
In the book "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" by Olivia Harrison and Mark Holborn, George Harrison says this about Shankar: "I could meet anybody. I could go in all the film stars' houses and meet Elvis and everybody, and we met a lot of really good people, but I never met one person who really impressed me. The first person who ever impressed me in my life was Ravi Shankar, and he was the only person who didn't try to impress me."
Shankar's mastery of his instrument helped lay some of the groundwork for the world music boom. He personally influenced and touched the lives of a wide range of Western stars, including Marlon Brando and Peter Sellers, and he took part in a number of seminal music concerts including Woodstock (1969) and the Concert for Bangladesh (1971).
In "Raga Mala," he wrote that he found Woodstock to be "a terrifying experience" where "the music was incidental."
But the Concert for Bangladesh, he believed, helped create the blueprint for all the charity rock concerts that would follow.
"In one day, the whole world knew the name of Bangladesh," Shankar said in "George Harrison: Living in the Material World." "It was a fantastic occasion, and I think it was the first of its kind. Now, of course, wonderful things are done, so many musicians are raising money for different causes. But the Bangladesh concert, I think, was the very first one."

OK... My friends and I showed up for this show w/out tickets after driving 4 hours. Fortunately we didn't need tickets to get in, just had to pay a $10 cover. Unfortunately, none of us were 21 & thus couldn't get in. DOH! Enter Fake IDs. OK, we got in. Ahhh the good old days. There couldn't have been more than 500 people in the audience.
This show was FULL of classic early 90's energy. They came out swinging with Llama in the first set and played a fun, rocking first set complete w/ secret language. They hit it even harder with Buried to open the 2nd, Runaway was great, Maze was quite "danciful"... YEM, Coil and finally I waved my birkenstocks in the air as Trey belted out "whatever you do, take care of your shoes!" Fee encore with Trey singing into a megaphone was also classic 90's and sounded great, as I remember. Closer was a strong classic Hendrix cover of Fire that absolutely WAILED! Great show, gotta make it's way to livephish.com someday.
