PORTLAND, Ore. -- Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry limped off the floor midway through the second quarter of a preseason win over the Portland Trail Blazers after hurting his surgically repaired right ankle Friday night.
With 6 minutes, 9 seconds left in the second quarter, Curry's right ankle was hit by another player during a loose ball scrum, and he favored the ankle as left the court.
"He's fine," coach Mark Jackson said after the Warriors' 101-97 victory. "He wanted to go back in the game."
Jackson refused, and Curry went to the locker room.
Curry, who missed 40 games last season because of problems with the ankle, didn't return for what the team called "precautionary reasons."
"If it was a Game 7, he'd be available," Jackson said.
Warriors power forward David Lee echoed Jackson, saying that although "there's been a lot of talk about the ankle," this "could have happened to anyone," and that Curry would be fine.
Curry played just 12 minutes, scoring two points and handing out four assists.
A recurrence of his ankle problems could prove costly to Curry, who is seeking a new contract with the Warriors entering his fourth season. Should his ankle woes resurface, it could squash any hopes of an early extension.
Curry, the Warriors' franchise player, led the Warriors with 19 points in Wednesday's win over Sacramento, but the team had brought him back slowly before the setback Friday night.
Gunning for its fifth win in six preseason games, Golden State used strong bench performances from forward Brandon Rush and backup point guard Jarrett Jack to topple Portland.
The Warriors trailed 28-20 to start the second quarter, but Rush's nine second-quarter points and Jack's five points, four rebounds and three assists got Golden State right back in it.
Rush's hot shooting continued in the second-half, and he finished with 16 points.
Jack (nine points, five rebounds) led all players with nine assists. Jack also made a key floater in the lane with 19.2 seconds left to give the Warriors a 99-95 lead.
Klay Thompson also had a strong game for the Warriors, scoring 19 points and going 2 of 4 from 3-point range. Thompson's two free throws with just over 10 seconds remaining helped seal the win.
Lee played a game-high 36 minutes.
Fellow big man Carl Landry (18 points, six rebounds) helped Golden State fend off Portland.
Jackson expects big things from Landry, who was signed as a free agent in the offseason.
"He's a big-time post presence with that second unit," Jackson said.

SAN JOSE -- The downtown condominium that former county schools chief Charles Weis unloaded on the Santa Clara County Board of Education has been sold, recouping some but not all of the money that taxpayers put out for the luxury unit.
When all the costs and gains are calculated, the loan and Weis's abandonment of the condo cost the county school board at least $222,200.
The arrangement enraged employees of the County Office of Education and others in the community after they learned the lenient terms of the loan and that the county's former top educator had walked away from it.
The board had lent Weis $915,000, more than half at zero interest, to purchase and remodel the condo in 2008. But it didn't require him to make monthly payments of principal or interest; instead, the loan was due upon his leaving as county office superintendent.
In a different transaction, former Superintendent Xavier De La Torre repaid in full, with interest, the loan the board provided when he purchased his home in San Jose's Cambrian neighborhood. In about two years, the board earned $42,221 in interest on De La Torre's $960,000 loan.
Board President Leon Beauchman declined to comment. However, he issued a statement that the transactions were carried out "in an efficient and fiscally prudent manner. We remain committed to being good stewards of taxpayer funds and are pleased to be able to close the books on these properties."
Not all agreed on the board's view of itself. Don Renwick, former president of the County Office of Education teachers union, called the superintendents' loans "ridiculous."
"I still marvel at fact that they had legal counsel that entered into contract that didn't have any payments," he said. "The board needs to gain some intelligence somehow."
The law firm Lozano Smith, with an office in Monterey, advised the county school board in drawing up De La Torre's contract.
When Weis retired two years ago and walked away from his home and loan, the seven board members apparently had not been aware that their contract with him didn't require him to make monthly payments -- nor that Weis's successor, De La Torre, benefitted from the same deal. They hastily renegotiated that contract for De La Torre to make regular payments.
Weis's 18th-floor unit sold for $810,000 on June 12. That's less than the $890,000 Weis paid eight years ago for the condo in the Axis Building overlooking the Guadalupe River.
As housing values declined during the Great Recession, so did Weis's relations with the majority of the county school board, which two years ago would not extend his contract. By then the mortgage was underwater, with the condo's market value dropping as much as $200,000 from what he had paid for it.
After Weis refused to pay back the loan and sought to turn over the condo to the county office, the board sued him. In a settlement earlier this year, Weis agreed to pay delinquent homeowner association fees and other costs related to his ownership. The board agreed to assume ownership of the condo. The suit cost the board at least $86,000.
After the settlement, Beauchman said, "The law is what the law is, and it protects the homeowner."
In the lawsuit, the board had alleged that Weis didn't use the two-bedroom Axis condo as his primary residence, as required by the terms of its loan. Instead, the board charged, Weis's main home was in Oxnard, where his wife remained during his four-year tenure, and where he is retired.
Board Vice President Darcie Green wrote that she was "looking forward to applying the lessons learned from this experience to any similar situations in the future." But the county board is on the verge of naming a new superintendent, who presumably might be offered a home loan. The board has narrowed its search to one finalist and this week has been visiting the candidate's current workplace.
The board will make an announcement next week, Beauchman said.

I played this course for the first time last weekend. I hadn't heard about it until one of my neighbors mentioned it. I was pleasantly surprised to find I have a new course just a short distance from my house near Viola Gibson Elementary.
Overall, I like the course. Most of the holes seems to be laid out intuitively. And it is more open like most of the courses I prefer to play.
I was slightly confused by the orange/yellow basket markers on the tee descriptions. Do the baskets get moved at times? On Sunday, most of the baskets seemed to be in the orange positions. However, at least 1 of them (#6?) was in a yellow position.
I was thoroughly confused by holes #16 & #17. On #16, the tee marker describing the 2 possible basket positions showed that it should be fairly straight ahead, possibly along the marsh area on the left side of the fairway. However, in that area there was no basket. In addition, the tee for #17 is across from the marshy area with no obvious route. I ended up hiking around the marsh, up the #17 fairway to reach the tee, at which point I then found the basket for #16 buried under a dense group of trees behind it. Is this the real #16 basket location? If so, how are we supposed to reach it thru the marsh and trees without perhaps laying up and crossing over into the #17 fairway? Also, are there plans to build a bridge to cross the marsh, or are we expected to hike all the way back and around crossing the #17 fairway?
As for #17, it seems a bit more logical, but it too has some issues. Aiming directly at the basket from the cement tee slab is not possible due to some trees. The options appear to be throwing left over the marsh and hoping you clear it, or taking the narrow right side of the fairway between the marsh and the soccer fields. Unfortunately, the hillside against the soccer fields is somewhat unstable and shows signs of erosion. It would be rather easy to trip on some of these if you're not careful. Players landing there with less than perfect drives may also find throwing from this hillside to be rather awkwark. I can easily foresee an ankle injury coming from that terrain.
Due to the issues on these two holes, for now I'm going to be skipping those two holes and proceeding directly from #15 to #18. I'd prefer to see the basket for #16 moved back toward the end of the main #16 fairway, and then possibly a bridge added to cross over the marsh to the #17 tee. What are the plans for those two holes?

For Brookfield's Jim Rogers, a career in public education does not define what he has done with his time on this planet. Little do many area residents know, but Rogers is a Hall of Fame basset hound breeder and trainer. On March 23, Rogers and his dog Sal earned an Open World Championship to add to the local breeders resume.
Sal is short for the dog's official name, JR Salamander. Rogers is a 2005 Hall of Fame entrant for the American Hunting Basset Association (AHBA). Rogers welcomed two of his prized basset hounds to the Hall. Both Rosie T. Basset (2006) and Linn County Mac (2007) also earned Hall of Fame bids from Rogers' Coal Mine Kennels in subsequent years.
"What success we have experienced in the AHBA can be attributed to a number of things," said Rogers. "We have great dogs, a long-term plan in breeding, and a lot of hours devoted to training."
Rogers may be the one on the Hall of Fame plaque, but no one gets to the pinnacle of their passion without help.
"This could not be accomplished without the help of others," said Rogers. "First, and most importantly, was the partnership with my stepson Shawn Armstrong, my partner in J&S Bassets. Important also was the support of my wife Tasha as Shawn and I spent many weekends traveling great distances to promote our hounds."
Rogers and Armstrong have been competing for years, and nothing will ever make them forget their first World Champion.
"Our first World Champion handled by Shawn was "Demo" a well- bred hound we purchased from a gentleman in Oklahoma who had bred his female to a hound in Ohio," said Rogers. "Bassets are generally known to be late starters compared to other breeds; one-and-a-half to two years is not uncommon."
Now J&S Bassets, working out of Coal Mine Kennels, has two Hall of Fame basset hounds, and multiple World Champions in the Open Class. After their first World Title, the pair began the breeding process to make more winners.
"We purchased a female from a soon-to-be long-time friend in Missouri," recalled Rogers. "This female became the foundation of our hounds. She won the Indiana State Championship at seven months of age, again handled by Shawn. Part of our satisfaction comes from not just the hounds we have won with, but also that others are winning with our breedings."

I´ve used TCPView and the port is not used by any other application - but it seem to work most of the times despite the errors, but the server has a bad habit of dissapearing from the network after a few hours.
After a reboot the PS3 finds it again.
I´ve rebooted the computer, reinstalled PS3 MS and disabled all the other network interfaces in case they might cause problems, but I still get the abole error message all the time (1 every 3s).
Has anyone come across this before and solved it?
I´m using PS3 MS 1.10.51 on Win XP, SP3.

Callaghan - Ó Ceallacháin The derivation from ceallach, strife, which usually given, is questioned but no acceptable alternative has been suggested. The eponymous ancestor in this case was Ceallacháin, King of Munster (d. 952). The sept was important in the present Co. Cork until the seventeenth century and the name is still very numerous there. The chief family was transplanted under the Cromwellian regime to east Clare, where the village of O'Callghan's Mills is called after them.
Campbell - Mac Cathmhaoil (cathmhaoil, battle chief). An Irish sept in Tyrone; in Donegal it is usually of Scottish galloglass origin, viz. Mac Ailín a branch of the clan Campbell (whose name is from cam béal, crooked mouth) Many Campbells are of more recent Scottish immigrants. See MacCawell. The name has been abbreviated to Camp and even Kemp in Co. Cavan.
MacCarthy - Mac Carthaigh (cárthach, loving). The chief family of the Eoghanacht and one of the leading septs of Munster, prominent in the history of Ireland from the earliest times to the present. MacCarthy is the most numerous Mac name in Ireland.
Cassidy - Ó Caiside A Fermanagh family of ollavs and physicians to the Maguires. Now numerous in all the provinces except Connacht.
Clery - Cleary Ó Cléirigh (cléireach, clerk) One of the earliest hereditary surnames. Originally of Kilmacduagh (Co. Galway) the sept was dispersed and after the thirteenth century settled in several parts of the country; the most important branch were in Donegal where they became notable as poets and antiquaries. In modern times the name is found mainly in Munster and Dublin.
O'Connor - ÓConchobhair. The name of six distinct and important septs. In Connacht there were O'Connor and O'Conor Don (of which was the last High King of Ireland) with its branches O'Conor Roe and O'Conor Sligo; Also O'Conor Faly (i.e. of Offaly), O'Connor Kerry and O'Connor of Corcomroe (north Clare). The prefix, O, formerly widely discarded, has been generally resumed. Similarly the variant from Connors has been O'Connor again.
(O) Conroy - Conree, Conary, Conry. These mainly Connacht names, owing to the similarity to of the anglicized forms, have become virtually indistinguishable. They represent four Gaelic originals, viz. Mac Conraoi (Galway and Clare), Ó Conraoi (Galway), Ó Conaire (Munster and Ó Maolchonaire (an important literary family of Co. Roscommon)
Cooney - Ó Cuana (for the probable derivation see Coonan). Originally of Tyrone this family later migrated to north Connacht. The Cooneys of east Clare and south-east Galway may be of different origin.
MacCormack - Cormick Mac Cormaic. This like MacCormican is formed from the forename Cormac. This name is numerous throughout all the provinces, the spelling MacCormick being more usual in Ulster. For the most part it originated as a simple patronymic; the only recognized sept of the name was of the Fermanagh-Longford area. Many of the MacCormac(k) families of Ulster are of Scottish origin, being a branch of the clan Buchanan-MacCormick of MacLaine.
Daly - Dawley Ó Dálaigh (dálach, from dáil, assembly). One of the greatest names in Irish literature. Originally West Meath, but sub-septs in several different localities as Map. As that in Desmond appears in the records as early as 1165 it is probable that this was a distinct sept.
Darcy - Ó Dorchaidhe (dacha, dark) One of the 'Tribes of Galway' also anglicized Dorsey, it is the name of two septs, one in Mayo and Galway, the other in Co. Wexford.
(O) Delaney - Ó Dubhshláine (another case of dubh, black-Sláine, perhaps the river Slaney) The prefix O has been completely discarded in the anglicized form of the name. It appears as Delane in Mayo. Both now and in the past it is of Leix and Kilkenny.
(O) Dempsey - Ó Díomasaigh (díomasach, proud). A powerful sept in Clanmalier. O'Dempsey was one of the very few chiefs who defeated Strongbow in a military engagement. Many of his successors distinguished themselves as Irish patriots and they were ruined as a result of their loyalty to James II. The name is now numerous in all the provinces.
Disney - Derived from a French place-name and originally written D'Isigny etc., the name Disney occurs quite frequently in the records of several Irish counties in the south and midlands since the first half of the seventeenth century.
(O) Dolan - The general accepted form in Irish today is Ó Dúbhláin (mod. Ó Dúláin) as given by Woulfe and others. O'Dolean, later Dolan, derives from Ó Dobhailen the name of a family on record since the twelfth century in the baronies of Clonmacnowen, Co. Galway, and Athlone, Co. Roscommon, in the heart of the Uí Mainecountry and quite distinct from Ó Doibhilin (Devlin). There has been a movement north-eastwards so that now the name Dolan is numerous in Co. Leitrim, Fermanagh, and Cavan as well Co. Galway and Roscommon.

Ah, summer. The weather beckons us outdoors -- where we run into swarms of other people with the same objective. Some Bay Area residents may enjoy the sociability of congested hiking trails, but most of us seek solitude along with the usual hiking highlights: gorgeous views, abundant nature and exertion levels that don't precipitate a paramedic call.
You'll find all that and more on three extra-special Bay Area hikes that were selected by local hiking experts Ann Marie Brown, Steve Richard and Brad Day. They share their knowledge and love of the outdoors via books, blogs and websites that all weave a common theme: We live in hiking heaven.
"There's nothing that compares to the Bay Area in terms of open space. It's endless," says Richard, an East Bay hiking blogger. "I've never lived in or seen a place with so much hiking around an urban area."
Richard tries to avoid the bumper-cars experience of the region's more gridlocked trails. But even those trails can become enjoyable by following two simple guidelines, explains Brown, a hiking guidebook author who often gets asked how to dodge the crowds.
"It's so easy," she insists. "Hike on weekdays, not weekends." If this doesn't fit with a demanding work schedule, "get to the trailhead as soon as the gates open." That's what she does, and "I usually don't see anyone for two hours."
Here are the favorite hikes in three regions of the Bay Area from these three passionate hikers who have turned their obsession into an avocation.
Mount Tam vistas
About 25 years ago, the then-deskbound Brown started spending her weekends exploring the Bay Area's truly great outdoors, then writing about it. Thirteen books later, Brown -- who lives near Lake Tahoe these days -- has helped countless others revel in California's gorgeous countryside through her hiking and biking guidebooks and articles in magazines such as Sunset, Backpacker and Outside.
After all this time, she's still wowed by the region. Even with the Bay Area's population of 7 million, "It's the wildest metropolitan area in the United States, by far," she says, with abundant nature, wild animals and more.
During the 200 days a year she spends exploring trails around the Golden State, Brown makes a point of hiking in Marin County, where she used to live.
"People there have it really good," she says, pointing out all the protected open space and swooping green hills.
Favorite hike: Brown loves a particular loop that connects the Coastal, Cataract and Old Mine trails at Mount Tamalpais State Park. "It offers great views every step of the way," she says, from secluded forests, streams and grasslands to eye-popping vistas of the city and sea. Plus, she says, it's "surprisingly level."
More hikes: Pick up Brown's book "101 Great Hikes of the San Francisco Bay Area" (Avalon Travel Publishing, $17.99, 432 pages), now in its fifth edition, or go to www.annmariebrown.com.
Butano's misty groves
"People always talk about making your passion a job," says Brad Day, founder of the popular Weekend Sherpa website. So eight years ago, he began delivering enticing tips on great outdoor activities to an audience that numbers more than 100,000 today.
"When you're outdoors, there is no bad day," he says.
He writes about hikes, bike rides and other excursions across California, but the Peninsula and South Bay are some of his favorite areas.
"If you pull up a map of the Bay Area and look at all the green areas designated as open space, there are a ton down there," Day says. Just look at Big Basin, he says, "the very first state park in California."
Favorite hike: Rather than much-visited Big Basin, Day's preferred hiking spot is what he calls "the insider's Big Basin," Butano State Park. His favorite hike -- which boasts some ocean views -- links three trails and takes visitors through misty forest groves and past indigenous wildlife, such as the rusty orange, bug-eyed newt. "You're almost guaranteed to see one of those guys," he says. Plus, the "cool" nearby town of Pescadero is a good place for aprés-hike snacking.
For more hikes: Go to www.weekendsherpa.com or listen to Day describe weekend excursions each Saturday morning on KGO radio.
Redwood's shady glades
"Most places in the Bay Area have the spots where everybody goes," Richard says about the region's hiking magnets. "Writing my blog was an attempt to say, 'There's a lot more.'"
His focus is what East Bay residents call Lamorinda -- Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda -- and its "beautiful hikes, where there's virtually nobody there." The Lafayette resident hits the trail at least three times weekly and has been hiking in the Bay Area since childhood.
Richard launched his popular blog in 2012 "after running into friend after friend who didn't realize what was around them." He thinks the East Bay, with its 65 parks and 1,200 miles of trails, is particularly rich territory for hikers. He posts a hike a month on his blog, including calorie counts.
Favorite hike: On hot East Bay days, Richard loves Redwood Regional Park in the Oakland hills west of Moraga. A peaceful, hidden bowl of coastal redwoods with a creek at the bottom, this park isn't widely known, he says. His favorite summer hike, which he dubbed the French Trail Loop, takes in the best parts of the park while avoiding hot climbs up the exposed flanks. "It's a great Redwood Park sampler," he says.
For more hikes: Read Richard's blog, "The Undiscovered Hikes of Lamorinda" at www.lamorindahikes.com.
Mill Ox Loop
Butano State Park
This 5-mile moderate hike in Pescadero features forests and fern groves with great ocean views.
After the park entrance, look to the left for the Mill Ox Trail sign -- it's easy to miss, and the parking lot holds only a few cars.
Follow the Mill Ox Trail up to Butano Fire Road, then turn right. Follow this to Jackson Flats Trail and turn right, which takes you back to the Mill Ox Trail.
Details: 1500 Cloverdale Road, Pescadero; www.parks.ca.gov. No dogs.
Coastal, Cataract and Old Mine Loop
Mount Tamalpais State Park
This 6.8-mile moderate hike, which starts from the Pantoll Ranger Station, offers spectacular vistas of city and sea.
Start on the Matt Davis/Coastal Trail near the ranger station. After 1.6 miles, take an unmarked spur trail on the left, just before the Coastal Trail/Matt Davis Trail forks, and make a short climb up to a knoll to catch the best views of the day. Return to the main trail.
Take the right fork (the Coastal Trail) and continue gently uphill. After 1.7 miles, the trail meets Willow Creek Fire Road. Turn right and climb steeply uphill for ¼ mile.
When you reach paved Ridgecrest Boulevard, cross the road and join Laurel Dell Fire Road at a wide metal gate. You'll make a gentle descent for ¼ mile on the fire road. Watch for a right turnoff on Cataract Trail, with a sign for the Ray Murphy Bridge. Hike alongside Cataract Creek for the next mile.
Cataract Trail opens up to a meadow near Rock Spring, where there is a parking lot. Cross Ridgecrest Boulevard again and veer left, picking up the Mountain Theater Fire Road.
After a brief, steep climb, turn right on Old Mine Trail, noting the magnificent views. Follow this trail back downhill for one mile to the paved Old Stage Road.
Turn right on Old Stage Road, which will bring you back to the ranger station.
Details: 3801 Panoramic Highway, Mill Valley; www.friendsofmttam.org. Parking is $8.
French Trail Loop
Redwood Regional Park
This 5.8-mile moderate hike, a loop trail that can be done in either direction, hits all the highlights of this well-shaded park nestled in the Oakland hills.
Enter the park at the Redwood Gate, and park in the first lot on the left after the Fishway interpretive site. Walk back to the Fishway area and grab a trail map (or print one out ahead of time at www.ebparks.org/parks/redwood).
Cross the creek and take a right on Bridle Trail; follow the trail for a little over a mile, until it merges into the Stream Trail. Follow the Stream Trail along Redwood Creek for about a mile, until you reach the Tres Sendas Trail. This intersection is one of the most scenic points.
Head left on Tres Sendas, take another left when you reach Starflower Trail, then left again at the French Trail. This trail meanders for about 2.7 miles until it reaches the Orchard Trail. Turn left and descend back down to the Bridle Trail, where a right turn will bring you back to the Fishway area.
Details: Redwood Regional Park, 7867 Redwood Road, Oakland. Parking is $5 on weekends and holidays.

Coty has Wildcats on track for success
TORRINGTON — Despite his team's win-loss record, Wolcott Tech football coach Jamie Coty did probably his best overall job in his six-year tenure.
Coty was the offensive and defensive coordinator and handled most of the coaching chores because he only had one assistant, Jennifer Stango, this season.
Stango is believed to be the only female high school football coach in state history. Coty couldn't fill the remaining assistant spots.
As Coty gets ready for the Wildcats' final game at Abbott Tech in Danbury Thursday at 10 a.m., he said he received some good news this week.
"My former defensive coordinator, Joe Perusse, said he is interested on coming on board for next season," said Coty. "That will help out a lot. I'm still trying to get a few more coaches."
Until then, Coty will adjust. He is looking forward to 2014, noting that he is graduating only four players — Kevin Crispin, Asante Maldon, Christian Berti and Kyle Henry.
Crispin, Maldon and junior Mickey Ross are tri-captains this season.
"We have our whole offensive line back," said Coty, noting all but one are sophomores with junior mixed in."
That experience will help Ross, already a three-year starter.
"Mickey is a trooper," said Coty. "He needed to get weighed the other day and I couldn't believe that kid who is only 127 pounds is running the triple-option. He keeps getting hit and keeps getting right up. A lot of the opposing coaches have a lot of respect for Mickey. He's just a fierce competitor, He's won championship at the Pop Warner level in Torrington and know what it takes to win."
Coty had plenty of praise for Crispin, a four-year starter who played tight end and linebacker this year.
"I don't think Kevin dropped one pass this year," said Coty. "He goes up and gets the ball. He has been such a key player on third and fourth down. I am going to miss him next year."
The same can be said of Maldon, also a four-year starter at running back and safety. Maldon has rushed for over 1,000 yards yhis season.
"Asante is such a good athlete," said Coty. "He's been able to hide some our mistakes and our inexperience. He's had quite a few long runs for touchdowns becuase of his speed and explosiveness."
Berti, a two-way lineman, could be the toughest of them all, according to Coty.
"On Thanksgiving last year, he played practically the whole game with a broken ankle," said Coty. "He told me that his ankle hurt, but that he wouldn't come out of the game and that he could play."
Henry, a defensive back, filled in where needed.
"Kyle stepped up and gave us good minutes on defense," said Coty.

SAN DIEGO -- The most visible of the slumping Giants is Pablo Sandoval, in large part because the third baseman is playing for a new contract. After a 3-1 loss to the San Diego Padres that came on the heels of two 2-1 defeats, manager Bruce Bochy said Sandoval would sit out and get a "mental break" Sunday.
But Sandoval is far from the only Giants hitter swinging a cold bat. One Giant reached second base Saturday -- Michael Morse as he circled the bases on a solo homer. A lineup that was scorching hot in early April has scored five times in the past 35 innings and failed to crack the two-run mark in three consecutive games for the first time since September 7-10, 2011.
"There are just so many good hitters we have struggling right now," Bochy said. "It's not just (Sandoval). We're struggling as a club right now."
Up and down the lineup, the failures in recent days have been almost universal. Hunter Pence was 0 for 4 on Saturday and is hitting just .188. Morse homered against Eric Stults, but the left fielder has just four hits in his past 24 at-bats. Buster Posey was red hot all spring but is just one for his last 24, a chill that seems almost incomprehensible for a hitter of Posey's talents.
"Buster will be fine," Bochy said. "You watch his batting practice and he's looked really good. The first time up, he lined out to first base, and that's how it goes when you get into one of these slumps."
Bochy echoed that positive sentiment several times after the loss, but that doesn't mean he's just going to sit back and watch his hitters screw themselves into the ground. The manager said there would be no pregame hitting Sunday. That caught Morse, a workout warrior, by surprise, but he said it's probably the right idea.
"We're all competitors and sometimes when we're not swinging well, we overswing and take too many hacks," he said. "We can tire ourselves."
The bats certainly looked slow against Stults and the Padres bullpen. Stults gave up just one hit and faced the minimum through four innings before Morse picked up his third homer when he lined a 2-0 fastball over the center field fence. It was one of just three hits off Stults, who entered with a 5.52 ERA. Nick Vincent struck out Posey, Morse and Sandoval in the seventh, and Dale Thayer worked around Brandon Belt's leadoff single in the eighth. Joaquin Benoit came on for a save that clinched yet another brutal decision for a Giants starting pitcher.
Tim Hudson wasn't at his best, but he held the Padres to just two runs in seven innings. Over the past three games, Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain and Hudson have combined for 181/3 innings and given up just four earned runs. All have taken a loss.
"This game will drive you crazy sometimes," Hudson said. "You go through stretches like this now and again, offensively and from the pitching staff. There are times where it's tough to put everything together."
Bochy was similarly puzzled.
"You hate to waste these pitching efforts," he said. "This game, that's why it's so hard to figure out at times."
Hudson has certainly mastered one aspect of pitching through his first four starts. He has started the season with 30 innings without a walk, a franchise record. Hudson also became just the third pitcher in the past 101 years to begin the season with four starts in which he threw at least seven innings and didn't issue a walk. Grover Cleveland Alexander did it for six straight in 1923, and Tiny Bonham had four such games in 1944.
"Obviously that's pretty cool -- no question about it," Hudson said, smiling. "It's not going to last, I'll tell you that."
The collective slump won't last, either. But Saturday, it was hard to see the end coming soon. Even when Bochy tried to manufacture a run after Joaquin Arias' leadoff single in the third, it backfired. Hudson bunted into an inning-ending double play.
"This has been a pretty good (slump) here for three to four games," Bochy said. "Tonight, we just didn't create any chances, and we didn't get many good swings off. That's tough to see."

About the Book
"Murphy's series is top-notch...a real treat."
—Cats magazine<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The acclaimed mystery writer whom Kirkus Reviews praises for having "raised the stakes of the feline sleuth genre," Shirley Rousseau Murphy brings back cat detectives Joe Grey, Dulcie, and Kit in Cat Striking Back. Arguably the most unusual sleuth in contemporary crime fiction, Joe Grey is at his curious best when he pads across evidence of a heinous crime but with no victim in sight. Cat Striking Back is a treat for readers of Lillian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown, and Carole Nelson Douglas—for cat people and anyone who loves a good whodunit—a bravura display of the mastery that has won Murphy an unprecedented seven straight Muse Medallions from the national Cat Writers Association.
"Why is it, Joe, that you are always the one to find the body?"
On a lovely moonlit night, while carrying a gift of mice to a litter of kittens, Joe Grey stumbles upon a murder scene. Behind an empty house, in an empty swimming pool, there's blood, the smell of human death, and drag marks. But there's no victim—and it's hard to prove a crime without a corpse.
Driven by stubborn feline curiosity, Joe Grey sets out to investigate. With Dulcie and Kit following him along a killer's trail, Joe discovers evidence of conflict among the residents of this seemingly peaceful neighborhood—multiple signs of breaking-and-entering, with nothing of value stolen. And they find something far worse: hints of violence yet to come . . . and more planned murder.
With the help of two local ferals, Joe, Kit, and Dulcie must now thwart a killer using the most unorthodox means at their disposal: a criminal's unnatural yet powerful fear of cats.

The layout of the Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan is unusual in several respects: pretty much the whole main cabin is the salon, the galley is down a step on the way to the accommodations below, and the guest cabin is a mid cabin with twin berths going for and aft.
Here we see the mid cabin which is accessed on the centerline. There is standing headroom at the entrance which has a privacy door.
The Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan makes an excellent transitional cruiser for those looking to step up from day boating and bowriders.
We've been looking forward to testing the Meridian 341 Sedan now that she's been repowered with MerCruiser's newest 425-hp 8.2L MPI HO engines. But before we get underway, let's take a look at the operational features of this cruising yacht.
The bow of the 341 Sedan has a modest flair tapering down to a reverse chine and dual lifting strakes to both sides of the keel. Notice the drains above the waterline for the anchor rode locker.
Power Up
Upon entering the 341 Sedan, there is a switch right next to the sliding glass doors to the salon to control the courtesy lights at the aft deck and stairs leading to the flying bridge. This is a thoughtful touch as it's not always bright and sunny when stepping aboard, and a large number of people, including the staff at BoatTEST.com, enjoy boating at night.
Upon entering the 341 Sedan, a switch for the courtesy lights is conveniently located.
The first stop is in the salon where the main battery switches are located in a lower cabinet next to the couch. Once the main power is brought on it's time to activate individual systems.
The main battery switches are located in the cabinet in the salon.
The ships main power panel is located to the opposite side of the salon, again in an enclosed cabinet.
The ships power panel lies behind a cabinet to the opposite side of the glass entry doors. The ignition keys are at the top of the panel embedded with the DC circuit breakers, and turning the key simply activates the control station at the helm on the flying bridge. All of the labels to the switches are backlit in green making them easily read at night. The 120-V controls are in a subpanel just below. Beneath the panels are two gauges providing readouts for the water tank and holding tank levels. With an optional generator, the controls are located here as well.
Daily Checks
There are two areas to focus on for the daily checks. First is under the hatch in the aft deck. This is where the optional generator is located, as well as the main batteries. Meridian Yachts offers either a 7.3 kW gas generator or a 9 kW diesel generator.
The optional generator is located under a hatch in the cockpit deck. It has a dedicated sea strainer that is easily serviced, and the main batteries are also located in this compartment.
The main engines are located under a hatch in the salon. The entire compartment is well soundproofed. Removable access stairs lead in to the compartment to a platform directly between the two engines allowing for easy access to daily check points. There's also access to the outboard side of the engines for more involved maintenance.
The main engines are located under the main salon. Note the soundproofing material under the hatch.
Ground Tackle
The bow is accessed by rather narrow side decks but as this isn't exactly a heavily traveled corridor, the width is a fair trade-off to adding space in the salon. Meridian Yachts did a fine job of placing grab rails where they needed to be, and the side rails have a height that exceeds ABYC standards.
Side decks are narrow but serve their purpose. Grab handles are located everywhere facilitating a safe transition to the bow.
The bow of our test boat was equipped with optional features that included the electric windlass and remote control spotlight.
Rather than go with a simple open compartment, Meridian makes practical use of the forward compartment while still allowing for access to the anchor rode underneath.
At the bow, our test boat was equipped with the optional features that included an electric windlass with foot control switches, and a remote controlled spotlight. A 10" (25.4 cm) cleat is mounted next to the anchor for securing the rode.
Good Idea
An access hatch to the side is opened with a much preferred lift-and-lock type of latch rather than the turn-and-lock type. Where the rest of the industry simply offers an open space to the deep anchor locker to allow for managing tangles, Meridian cleverly chose to make the top area a usable space by providing a liftout base to hold a washdown hose that connects to the freshwater spigot. Should any rode tangles occur, remove the hose and lift up the "floor" of the compartment allowing free access under the windlass.
Flying Bridge Helm
The flying bridge is accessed from stairs to the port side of the aft deck. There are hand rails everywhere and I was never out of reach of something to hold onto as I made my way up. There are not only safety rails surrounding the stairs preventing anyone from falling down accidentally, but the stairs can be closed off with a lengthy, and lockable hatch.
The flying bridge is accessible even in a seaway, thanks to the multiple grab handles from bottom to top.
Turning on the keys at the lower power panel arms the single touch start/stop buttons at the helm.
Meridian went with an attractive and functional helm for the 341 Sedan. The windscreen seemed to be at an excellent height to deflect the wind over my head.
An accessory switch panel is located well behind, and to the right of the helm for switches that will not get used quite so often.
The helm is located forward and to starboard. I think that Meridian did an outstanding job with the helm layout, creating a functional and attractive workstation. The wood and leather steering wheel is mounted to a tilt base. Just ahead are two optional Raymarine hybrid touch navigation displays to either side of the digital depth gauge. To either side of the panel are 4-in-1 gauges and analog tachometers for each of the two engines.
The flying bridge is accessed from stairs to port, the helm is mounted to the starboard side. A large bench seat to port allows for several sets of eyes facing forward.
Below, and to the left, is a subpanel housing the stereo remote, VHF radio, and the SmartCraft VesselView display. To starboard is the chrome plated DTS (Digital Throttle and Shift) controls with their long sticks that I have really come to appreciate. These controls also feature separate functionality for engine sync, single-lever control, low-power docking mode… etc.
Meridian went with Raymarine hybrid touch map displays flanking a digital depth finder.
The digital throttle controls provide a host of optional features that tend to get well used by operators.
Thruster Controls.
Slightly behind are the controls for the bow and stern thruster. The close proximity of these controls to the engine controls provided excellent ergonomics when backing into the dock. There's full visibility to the entire length of the 341 Sedan. With one hand on the engine controls and one hand on the thrusters precision maneuvering is easy to maintain.
A subpanel to port contains the stereo remote, VHF radio, and SmartCraft VesselView display. The more commonly used rocker switches are just below.
The helm seat is a wraparound bucket seat with an open lumbar area and a flip up bolster. It slides, swivels and the pedestal telescopes to adjust for height.
The Test Numbers
The Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan has a length overall of 35'10" (10.9 m), a beam of 12'6" (3.8 m) and a draft of 3'4" (1 m). With an empty weight of 18,254 lbs. (8,280 kgs.), one quarter fuel and two people onboard we had a test weight of 19,049 lbs (8,640 kgs.).
With a pair of MerCruiser 8.2 L MPI HO engines powering our test boat and turning 23 x 22.5 x 4 Nibral props, we reached a top speed at 4700 rpm of 36.3 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 71.05 gph giving us a range of 115 miles. Best cruise came in at 3500 rpm and 25.2 mph. That speed reduced the fuel burn to 35.75 gph giving the 341 Sedan a range of 158 miles and an endurance of 6 hours 18 minutes while still maintaining a 10% reserve.
We reached planing speed in 4.7 seconds, accelerated to 20 mph in 7.3 seconds, and continued accelerating through 30 mph in 14.7 seconds.
Optional power packages include the T330 or T380 QSB Cummins diesels.
Click the TEST RESULTS tab at the top of this page to view the full test results.
One of the first things that impressed me with the 341 Sedan's handling characteristics was how tightly she turned. The Meridian Yachts factory is in a relatively landlocked position on the Intracoastal Waterway and open water is hours away. For that reason we had to find the widest spot we could on the Intracoastal, which frankly still wasn't very wide. But the 341 Sedan had no trouble maneuvering in this confined space even at speed. Clearly this was thanks to the design team at Meridian for engineering good-sized rudders.
The 341 Sedan has one of the tightest turning radiuses in class.
The four-bladed Nibral propellers direct thrust up against the good-sized rudders providing excellent maneuverability.
Forward Visibility
She presents a 10-degree bow high attitude upon accelerating, and once on plane the 341 Sedan settles into a 5-degree attitude. Naturally, thanks to the elevated position of the flying bridge helm, there's no loss of visibility to the horizon. She responds so well to the helm that beginners will have no trouble quickly developing a comfort level with the 341's operations. At cruise, the fish pots that popped up could be easily seen far ahead and avoided. Of course this is not to imply that vigilance doesn't need to be maintained, but reaction time is not as critical as one would think.
When taking power off she settles back into the water at a level attitude.
Close Quarters
Of course when transitioning into this yacht from a smaller boat many people will be concerned about whether she can be handled around the dock. While it's true that she is a conventional inboard boat with straight shafts and rudders, she's easily maneuvered thanks to the thrust that the large propellers provide.
When Thrusters Pay Off
Additionally, our test boat was fitted with the optional bow and stern thrusters which significantly reduce the workload while maneuvering around the dock. I simply use the engines to provide directional momentum, and the thrusters to maintain directional control and was able to ease in to the dock effortlessly, even against a stiff crosswind.
The thruster controls are located right next to the engine controls and allow for both hands to be used at the same time when bringing the 341 into the dock.
The optional bow and stern thrusters facilitate close quarters maneuvering quite efficiently. The stern thruster is protected from damage by the integral swim platform.
Precision docking is a simple affair with the 341 Sedan. Even a beginner captain can dock with surgical precision.
There's certainly a lot to like with the Meridian Yachts 341 Sedan. She's not only a well laid out yacht, but remarkably easy to handle, offering excellent control-ability for even the novice captain. For anyone looking to transition from a smaller boat to a real cruising yacht, I think this is one that deserves serious consideration.

Protein for which at least one variant, responsible for a disease, is described in the feature table of its Swiss-Prot entry.
Protein which, if defective, causes neurodegeneration.
Protein which, if defective, causes classic Parkinson disease. Parkinson disease is a complex multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder, usually occurring in late life, although an early onset and a juvenile form are known. Typical features are masklike facies, tremor of resting muscles, a slowing of voluntary movements (bradykinesia), festinating gait and postural instability. The signs and symptoms of the disease are the consequence of a striatal deficiency of dopamine, resulting from neuronal death in the substantia nigra. Parkinson disease is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies, intraneuronal inclusions found in many brain regions which are not entirely specific to, but are a highly sensitive marker for, Parkinson disease.
Protein which, if defective, causes parkinsonism. Parkinsonism refers to disorders, both genetic and non-genetic, characterized by four primary parkinsonian symptoms: tremor, rigidity, postural instability and bradykinesia, resulting from the loss or dysfunction of dopamine- producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Lewy bodies, intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins, may or may not be present in the brain of the patients.
Protein which is part of a reference proteome. Reference proteomes are a subset of proteomes that have been selected either manually or algorithmically according to a number of criteria to provide a broad coverage of the tree of life and a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity found within UniProtKB, as well as the proteomes of well-studied model organisms and other species of interest for biomedical research.

Encouraging FDA to Utilize Existing Regulatory Flexibility to Facilitate the Development and Approval of New Antibacterials
A sustainable pipeline of safe and effective antibacterials is critical to successfully treat serious and life-threatening infections
08.05.13 | By Sascha Haverfield, Ph.D.
As noted in past Catalyst posts, the urgent need for new antibacterials is undisputed. A recent article in Nature states that, "Health officials are watching in horror as bacteria become resistant to powerful carbapenem antibiotics — one of the last drugs on the shelf."
Even when antibacterials are used appropriately, antimicrobial resistance is an inevitable evolutionary consequence of antibacterial use and necessitates a constant supply of new antibacterial medicines to augment existing options. Appropriate use of antibacterial agents helps slow the emergence of antibiotic-resistant organisms, but a sustainable pipeline of safe and effective antibacterials is still critical to successfully treat serious and life-threatening infections.
PhRMA and our member companies are committed to innovation and helping ensure that patients have access to safe and effective new medicines in the shortest time possible. We also recognize the particular importance of developing and securing the approval of new antibacterials that can prevent the mortality and debilitating morbidity associated with emerging or drug-resistant pathogens. For patients affected by such pathogens, timely access to new medicines can be a matter of life or death.
In comments submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week on New Approaches to Antibacterial Drug Development, PhRMA reiterated our support for the Agency's use of existing regulatory flexibility and the development and revision of guidance to advance novel scientific approaches to facilitate antibacterial drug development. FDA's existing regulatory options are strong and were further enhanced through new provisions relating to accelerated approval and breakthrough products in the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act which was signed into law last July.
PhRMA stands ready to work with the FDA and other stakeholders to address patients' health needs, our shared priority. Protection of the public health demands that we use the best available science and existing broad regulatory flexibility to restore the antibacterial pipeline and bring new medicines to patients who urgently need them.

MIAMI -- LeBron James is heading back to free agency.
James has told the Miami Heat that he is opting out of the final two years of his contract, his agent, Rich Paul, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. And with that, James will become a free agent July 1.
That does not mean James is leaving Miami -- but there's no guarantee that he'll be in a Heat uniform next season, either. A person briefed on the matter and familiar with James' thinking told AP that he has not decided where he will play next season.
"There's no other decision yet," that person said.
James addressed the lure of having flexibility last week in his exit interview after the Heat lost to San Antonio in the NBA Finals. And he will have plenty of it now.
Among his options: He could leave Miami entirely, join another team if he feels that better positions himself to win more championships, or sign a longer-term deal in Miami and afford the Heat some financial flexibility of its own in relation to the salary cap and luxury tax.
"Being able to have flexibility as a professional, anyone, that's what we all would like," James said last week. "That's in any sport, for a football player, a baseball player, a basketball player, to have flexibility and be able to control your future or your present. I have a position to be able to do that. ... There's a lot of times that you're not in control of your future as a professional."
The other two Miami stars with early termination options -- Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh -- have not yet told the Heat or publicly revealed whether they will join James as free agents this summer. Bosh and James both said last week that the three would meet before deciding anything about their respective futures.
