Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a rare disorder in which blood vessels become inflamed. This leads to damage in major organs of the body.
Formerly: Wegener's granulomatosis
GPA mainly affects blood vessels in the nose, sinuses, ears, lungs, and kidneys. Other areas may also be affected in some cases.
The exact cause is unknown, but it is an autoimmune disorder.
Wegener's granulomatosis is most common in middle-aged adults of northern European descent. It is rare in children, but has been seen in infants as young as 3 months old.
Frequent sinusitis is the most common symptom. Other early symptoms include a fever that has no clear cause, night sweats, fatigue, and a general ill feeling ( malaise).
Chronic ear infections are common. Other upper respiratory symptoms include nose bleeds, pain, and sores around the opening of the nose.
Loss of appetite and weight loss are common. Skin changes are also common, but can take several forms.
There may be symptoms of kidney disease. The urine may be bloody.
Eye problems develop in many people with GPA. The eye problems range from mild conjunctivitis to severe swelling of the eye.
Less common symptoms include:
You may have a blood test that looks for proteins called antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). These aree often found in people with active GPA. However, this test is sometimes comes back negative even in people with the condition.
Urinalysis is done to look for signs of kidney disease such as protein and blood in the urine. Sometimes urine is collected over 24 hours to check how the kidneys are working.
A biopsy is sometimes needed to confirm the diagnosis. The exact type of biopsy depends on which area of the body the doctor wants to look at. Your doctor may suggest one of the following:
Other tests that may be done include:
Your doctor may suggest treatment with glucocorticoids (such as prednisone) which are given along with other medicines that slow down the immune response.
Medicines used to treat GPA include:
These medicines may cause serious side effects. Talk to your doctor about your treatment plan.
Other medicines used for the condition include:
Support groups with others who suffer from similar diseases may help patients and their families learn about their diseases and adjust to the changes associated with the treatment.
Without treatment, people with this disease can die within a few months.
With treatment, the outlook for most patients is good. Studies have shown that most people who receive corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide get much better.
The disease may return in about half of all patients. In these cases, the disease often comes back within 2 years of stopping treatment.
Complications most often occur when the disease is not treated. People with GPA develop tissue damage (lesions) in the respiratory tract and the kidneys. Kidney lesions cause glomerulonephritis, which may result in blood in the urine and kidney failure. Kidney disease can quickly get worse. Kidney function may not improve even when the condition is controlled by medicines.
If untreated, kidney failure and death occur in most of patients.
Other complications may include:
Call your health care provider if you develop chest pain, coughing up blood, blood in the urine, or other symptoms of this disorder.
There is no known prevention.

Get an alert when new George Michael dates are announced
Having long left behind his career with the memorable '80s act 'Wham!', George Michael has been a confusing public figure throughout his life as a solo artist, possibly known just as well for his scandals as he is his records. Despite this, he has endeavoured to remain politically outspoken, reflecting this in his songs wherever possible, and cheekily turning bad publicity into good. The tenth richest musician in Britain, he has admirably made the decision to stop selling albums following 'Patience' in 2004, with future releases available for download and an encouragement to donate to charity.

SACRAMENTO -- A corporate battle over a Pentagon contract to build stealth bombers spilled into the California Legislature on Thursday as lawmakers grudgingly rushed through a $420 million tax credit for an aerospace contractor before adjourning for their monthlong summer recess.
The 15-year tax incentive would benefit one of the two major competitors, a joint bid being submitted by Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp.
That has angered the other bidder for the $55 billion federal contract, Northrop Grumman Corp., which says it cannot offer a low enough bid without a similar tax break.
Gov. Jerry Brown, who pushed for the tax credit, and Democratic legislative leaders promised to consider a similar incentive for Northrop after the Legislature returns in August.
Lockheed Martin says the incentive would mean 1,100 California jobs should it win the contract, including 750 new jobs and 350 that would be retained.
But Northrop Grumman said it would create 1,500 new jobs in Palmdale should it win the contract, even without the tax subsidy. A company spokesman said giving the break to Lockheed Martin puts Northrop Grumman at a competitive disadvantage, the situation lawmakers pledged to correct next month.
"Northrop Grumman, California's largest aerospace employer, is extremely disappointed that the legislation passed today in California favors only one aerospace company," the company said in a statement after the vote. "This is a significant blow to fairness in California's aerospace industry."
The company looks forward to working with lawmakers in August to secure a similar subsidy, spokesman Tim Paynter said.
"What we really want is a level playing field," he said.
The bill, AB2389, passed the Senate with one vote to spare after hours of heated debate in committee and on the floor as senators complained they were being asked by Brown to pass the bill with a two-thirds majority just four days after it was presented to them. It had broader support in the Assembly, where it was approved 68-2.
"I feel like this is a jam-job and this is a game of chicken," said Sen. Kevin de Leon, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
The Los Angeles Democrat said California is competing for the aerospace jobs with Alabama, Florida, Texas and other states, but he wasn't happy about the last-minute process of considering the tax credit.
Yet he and others who voted for it said the gain in jobs would more than offset the subsidy.
Sen. Ted Gaines, R-Roseville, said projections are there would be a net gain to the state budget of $80 million to $500 million over the life of the tax incentive if the jobs stay in California.

STANFORD -- Three days after a loss at USC, Stanford coach David Shaw and his players offered numerous reasons for giving their full attention to the Big Game despite being an overwhelming favorite against Cal.
But it comes down to this: The Cardinal doesn't have a choice.
"We have to finish strong," nose tackle David Parry said. "We still have a lot of our goals attainable, and Cal is in our way."
Stanford has been eliminated from the national championship race and would need an unlikely series of results elsewhere to earn an at-large berth to the Bowl Championship Series.
But the Cardinal (8-2, 6-2 Pac-12) remains in contention for the Pac-12 North title and a spot in the conference championship game.
To win the division, two things must happen: Oregon must lose, and Stanford must beat Cal.
The 10th-ranked Cardinal will take the field Saturday before it knows the outcome of the Oregon-Arizona game. It can't assume the Ducks will win and must play with all available urgency.
"Our guys are unbelievably resilient," Shaw said. "They can't wait to get back on the field. There's going to be energy. There's going to be fire.
"We anticipate Cal doing everything in its power. And we're not impervious. We've shown some weakness."
Except in the situation it faces this week:
The Cardinal hasn't lost back-to-back games since the middle of the 2009 season, and it hasn't lost at home in two years.
"We know the energy will be there," Parry said, "but we're going to prepare for them like we prepare for everybody else."
"Five plays, and that's the difference between good and great," said Shaw, who declined to name the plays in question.
"He's a very good quarterback who's improving but isn't perfect."
"There's something going on in there, and we hope to get it rectified," Shaw said.
Conrad Ukropina replaced Williamson at USC and had a 30-yard field-goal attempt blocked by Chad Wheeler midway through the third quarter.
"It was not as high as it could be," Shaw said. "But (Wheeler) timed it perfectly."

Dismissal motion denied in sexual misconduct case against school system
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 5:17 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A federal judge recently denied the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education's motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct between a former Tuscaloosa County High School assistant principal and a former county high female student.
The lawsuit, filed Jan. 7, 2012, by the student's attorney, Paul Patterson, accuses William "Butch" Young, a former Hillcrest High and Tuscaloosa County High assistant principal, of sexual misconduct with the student.
The lawsuit also alleges that the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education, Steve Benson, Tuscaloosa County Schools senior director of human resources, and Reba Caldwell, former Tuscaloosa County High School principal, knew about the alleged misconduct, but failed to report it to law enforcement.
"The County Schools had filed an order to dismiss immediately after the suit was filed," Patterson said. "The law in Alabama says you cannot sue a school board. That means the individuals sitting on the board cannot be held liable, however, the board and the school system itself can be held liable and the board can be held responsible for the actions of their employees, including teachers, custodians ... all the way down."
Patterson, an attorney with Patterson Comer Law Firm in Tuscaloosa, said depositions in the lawsuit will begin in about three or four weeks. He said the case should go to trial in about 10 months.

1.1-4 Note-Taking
Revised to January 1, 2008
You may, if you wish, take notes
during the course of the trial. <Have the clerk or marshal distribute
note pads and pencils.>
Some jurors find that taking notes
is helpful in keeping track of the proceedings and some do not. You should
remember that your main job as jurors is to listen to and observe the
witnesses. If taking notes would distract you from that job, then don't
take notes. There is no need to try to take down the testimony word for
word. If, during your deliberations at the end of the case, you need to
hear what a witness said, we have an official tape-recording or court
stenographer's record that will give you an accurate record of all the
You should not allow note-taking
to interfere with your attention to the testimony or your task of sizing up
the witnesses as they testify, but you may take notes if doing so would aid
your memory.
You should not make any notes
outside of court and bring them here. Your notebooks will be collected at
the end of each break and kept secure by the clerk. No one will look at
I take notes because I may be
asked to rule on issues during the course of the evidence. Your decision
whether to take notes at any point should not be influenced by my
You should not disclose your notes
to anybody during the trial. It will be up to you whether to disclose them
to your fellow jurors during deliberations at the end of the trial.
Practice Book § 16-7; Esaw
v. Friedman, 217 Conn. 553, 558-64 (1991).
It is within the discretion of
the trial court judge to allow note-taking by the jurors. Practice Book §
16-7 is not explicit as to whether notes may be taken during the charge as
well as during the evidence. It is advisable to get counsel to stipulate on
the record on the procedure to be followed.

3.7-2 Statutory Negligence - Speeding
Revised to January 1, 2008
We have a statute that provides that
no person shall operate any motor vehicle upon any highway at such a rate of
speed as to endanger the life of any occupant of that motor vehicle or at a rate
of speed greater than fifty-five miles per hour. If you find that the defendant
operated a motor vehicle upon a highway either at such a speed as to endanger
the life of any occupant of that motor vehicle or at a rate of speed greater
than fifty-five miles per hour, then the defendant has failed to conform to the
duty imposed by the legislature through the enactment of the statute that I have
just described.
General Statutes § 14-219 (a).
The statute does not apply to rates
of speed that endanger the life of a person other than an occupant. That
circumstance is addressed by the reckless driving statute, General Statutes §
14-222 (a), and
Statutory Negligence - Reckless Driving, Instruction 3.7-1. The offense of
traveling unreasonably fast in violation of General Statutes § 14-218a (a) is
addressed in
Statutory Negligence - Traveling Unreasonably Fast, Instruction 3.7-3.

Regional Spotlight: Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Post by Chuck Hayward | April 13th,2010
"One forgets just how fine New Zealand's Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends can be, particularly in Hawke's Bay" -Neal Martin, Writer for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2008.
The relatively warm region of Hawkes Bay on New Zealand's North Island has become the premier growing region for merlot and cabernet, with almost 80% of the country's production for those grapes centered in the area. With a history of grape growing that goes back to late 19th century, it's been just recently that Hawkes Bay has begun to make a name for itself internationally following on from the popularity of Marlborough sauvignon blanc and pinot noir from Central Otago and Martinborough.
The region's first plantings were scattered along the coast where it is cooler and more exposed to weather from Hawkes Bay. Later on, plantings were focused on sites inland from the bay where the temperatures are warmer and become more conducive to varieties like cabernet and merlot. Although the Hawkes Bay region is somewhat compact, there can be a difference of five degrees Celsius between coastal and inland vineyard sites.
There are a number of subregions in Hawkes Bay that will become more defined in the near future and will become increasingly important as single site expressions of Bordeaux blends become more recognized. In the meantime, most Hawkes Bay designated Bordeaux blends will come from grapes throughout the appellation with an emphasis on areas that can ripen grapes on a consistent basis.
• Esk River–North of Napier, the home of some historic wineries such as Glenvale (now Esk Valley).
• Te Awanga–South of Napier, this coastal area is best suited to earlier ripening varieites becasue of the cool climate conditions.
• Dartmoor Valley–A secluded valley north of the Hawkes Bay basin combined with calcareous, gravelly soils allows for more consistent growing conditions.
• Havelock Hills–The north facing hills were among the first areas to be planted years ago and are home to famous wineries like Te Mata.
• Gimblett Gravels–The most famous subregion of Hawkes Bay, gravelly soils left from an old river allow for exceptional drainage and slightly higher temperatures perfect for bordelais varieties as well as syrah and chardonnay.
• Ngatarawa Triangle--Just west of the Gravels, this area makes reds that are slightly more elegant compared to what Gimblett can produce.
Hawkes Bay reds have been a consistent part of the US wine market for some time now but their success has been limited compared to other varietals like sauvignon blanc. Part of this is due to the style of wines that were first exported in the early 1990s. The prevailing model of the time was a lower alcohol merlot-cabernet blend grown from vineyards closer to the coast. These wines were more herbaceous and greener than the prevailing style of wine coming from California. As wineries experimented with grapes coming from warmer inland sites, the resulting wines had riper fruit flavors and the American market began to see less of the more severe weediness in Hawkes Bay reds. Nevertheless, consumers and the trade remained under the impression that Hawkes Bay reds were of a herbal nature.
With the arrival of the warm 1998 vintage, the American market began to see the qualities that grapes from warmer subregions could add to the traditional Hawkes Bay style. The wines became less vegetative in aromas and purer fruit expressions began to emerge. They still maintained, however, the sense of elegance and restraint that makes these wines quite similar to Bordeaux. The best examples from Gimblett Gravels also added a strong mineral component derived from the gravelly nature of the soil.
Two other factors have also contributed to the increased quality of Hawkes Bay bordelais varieties. For one thing, the vines are getting more mature. As vines enter their adolescence of 10-14 years, the greener, herbal notes give way to more pure fruit flavors. In addition, thanks to a relaxation of quarantine regulations for imported grape cuttings by the New Zealand government, growers have secured cabernet and merlot clones from Bordeaux that are more appropriate for the climate in Hawkes Bay.

UPDATE: Driver ID'd in fatal wrong-way crash on U.S. 301
Published: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 5:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 at 9:53 a.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - An 83-year-old Venice man was killed in a wrong-way crash in Manatee County Tuesday morning when his car collided with a semitrailer on U.S. Highway 301 near Doris Road.
Julian D. Laney was driving a 1999 Buick south on U.S. 301 when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the median about 11:40 a.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Once across the median, he began traveling the wrong way, south in the in the northbound lanes, as he approached a curve in the highway near Doris Road, according to the patrol.
Also approaching the curve was a semitrailer driven by Otniel M. Medina, 49, of Tampa. Medina tried to turn the semitrailer to avoid the accident but the two vehicles collided and the driver of the Buick was killed.
Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts, and it is not known if alcohol may have played a part in the accident, according to the accident report.
Traffic was detoured around the accident on U.S. 301 for about five hours while fuel and oils were cleaned from the roadway, but traffic had cleared by 5 p.m.

New Jersey Utility Offers $105 Million in Solar Loans
New Jersey's Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) is now offering up to $105 million in loans for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems. The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved the loan package in early April to support the development of 30 megawatts of solar power installations throughout the utility's service area, helping the utility to meet about half of its solar energy requirement for 2009 and 2010. For now, the loans are only available for nonresidential customers, but the program will be expanded to residential customers in the future. PSE&G will provide loans to cover roughly 40%–60% of a solar project's costs, offering 10-year loans for residential systems and 15-year loans for nonresidential systems. According to PSE&G, the nonresidential loans are currently being offered at an interest rate of 11.11%.
The borrower can then repay the loan with cash or with solar renewable energy credits (SRECs), which are created as the solar power systems generate power. Every 1,000 kilowatt-hours of solar generation result in one SREC, which PSE&G will value at the current market price or $475, whichever is higher. The utility's goal is to provide loans for 12 megawatts of solar power at commercial and industrial facilities, 9 megawatts of solar power at municipal and not-for-profit facilities, 6 megawatts of residential solar power, and 3 megawatts of solar power at multi-family and affordable housing units. As of May 5, the loan program had committed to more than 3.1 megawatts of commercial and industrial solar power installations and 330 kilowatts of solar projects at municipal and not-for-profit facilities. See the press releases from the New Jersey BPU (PDF 75 KB) and PSE&G, as well as the PSE&G Solar Loan Program Web page. Download Adobe Reader.
California's Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is taking another approach to providing its customers with solar power: the utility is paying enXco, Inc. to install a 1-megawatt solar power system, and SMUD's customers can sign up to buy a share of that system. Through the utility's new SolarShares program, customers will pay roughly $5–$30 per month to receive 10%–50% of their power from the solar power system (the utility hasn't released exact cost details yet). The system is being built near Wilton in southern Sacramento County and will be completed in July. According to enXco, the project will be the largest solar power system in the United States that is built to serve voluntary purchases of solar power by a utility's customers. See the press releases from enXco and SMUD (PDF 32 KB), as well as SMUD's "Solar Power for Your Home" Web page.

While I really enjoyed the flavor of this ciabatta, I was disappointed that it wasn't as holey as I had anticipated. And I don't mean in a "come to Jesus" way. I like my ciabatta filled with all those air pockets to soak up herbed olive oil or whatever else I have close by to dip it in.
I shall attempt this again, and the next time I will pay closer attention to the amount of water I add. I won't be defeated. And... this challenge still rocks!

Summit High's Liam Meirow ran into 10th place at the 4A state cross-country meet Saturday. That's out of 224 other racers.
"He's thrilled. He wanted to stand on the podium, and he did today," head coach Heather Quarantillo said. "He was in 11th with a half mile left. He wanted it so badly, he ran by the boy ahead and got his 10th place finish. He got what he came for and was all smiles the rest of the day."
He finished the race in 17 minutes, 9 seconds, well off from his season fastest, 15:52. Quarantillo outlined vast differences between Saturday's course and the regional meet course in Delta, with a mixture of loose gravel and dirt, a large hill in the middle of the race and two stream crossings making up a challenging route in Colorado Springs. The runners finished in the Penrose Equestrian Center stadium, making for an exciting end to the races.
Meirow, a junior, has consistently placed among the top runners in meets throughout the fall season, broke his own school record by 31 seconds and earned himself a trip to state - without the support of the rest of the boys' team.
"He still has a lot of room to improve. It'll be exciting to see what he can do as a senior," Quarantillo said.
The girls' team, which attended the state meet in Colorado Springs as a squad for the first time in two years, finished 11th of 30 teams in the 4A division, with freshman Ruthie Boyd coming in 23rd of 221 runners in 20:29.
"She very much surprised herself to be our top finisher today," Quarantillo said, adding that Boyd was in third place for the team approaching the one-mile hill climb. There, she used her climbing skills to become the team's front-runner.
Junior Katherine Pappas wasn't far behind, finishing second for the team and 54th overall in 21:12. Freshmen McKenna Ramsay and McKinley Jones crossed the finish line in 21:25 (62nd) and 21:43 (83rd), respectively. Senior Sydney Stein finished in 22:36 (135th), freshman Emily Pappas came in 23:09 (164th) and sophomore Riley Vargo was seventh for the team in 23:52 (194th).
The team finished 32 points ahead of Durango, a strong squad that beat the Tigers in the regional meet.
"Eleventh is a great re-entry into the state meet when we've been gone for two years," Quarantillo said, adding that the team has youth which should bode well for the future. Four freshmen should return next year, with freshmen Jessica Horii also expected to step up into Stein's place when she graduates. Katherine Pappas, who qualified for state individually in 2010 and 2011, will be the senior leader and Vargo is expected to return, adding depth to the team.
"We are very happy with our results. It's been an entirely exciting season. We're wrapping up the season today being very happy with what we have plus looking forward to the future," Quarantillo said.

Video: NYPD Rescues a Hiker in New Jersey
The New York Police Department's aviation unit rescued a hiker stranded on a cliff with a broken left ankle in Alpine, N.J. on Sunday, officials said.
Two helicopters with NYPD rescue workers were called about 2:30 p.m. to help the hiker, was on a rocky ledge about 200 feet up and about two miles from the Hudson River, officials said.
One of the helicopters hovered about 50 feet above the hiker and lowered Police Officer Edgar Burroughs onto the cliff.
Officer Burroughs—with the help of the Piermont Fire Department—transferred the hiker into a rescue basket.
The officer and victim were then hoisted onto a helicopter. She was taken to Nyack Hospital in stable condition, officials said.

With one preseason game to go, Drew Brees was already showing off his Pro Bowl form.
The same cannot be said of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose murky quarterback picture was only muddied further Thursday night as Brodie Croyle struggled and a nearly perfect Brees led the New Orleans Saints to a dominating 30-7 victory.
Playing in all but one series in the first half, Brees hit 17 of 19 passes against the first-team defense for 182 yards and one touchdown. One of his passes was a beauty of a downfield dart that David Patten dropped. His quarterback rating when he retired for the night was 124.1 -- a sharp contrast to the 15.1 of Croyle.
The second-year pro, battling veteran Damon Huard for the starting job, was only 5-for-17 for 45 yards. Hurried and harried by a New Orleans defense that frequently beat the Chiefs' offensive line, Croyle was also sacked twice and threw his third interception in three outings. This game was viewed as a golden opportunity for him to wrest the job away from Huard, who was held out with a sore calf.
But instead of seizing his chance, Croyle seemed to help make the case for Huard, a 34-year-old career backup who played well last year when Trent Green was injured.
In three preseason games, the Chiefs (0-3) have scored only 29 points. The defense has scored eight.
Pierre Thomas, a free agent rookie out of Illinois who came into the game deep on the depth chart, scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns for the Saints on runs of six and 19 yards against the Chiefs' reserves and could have made a good case for himself to win a job.
Brees, a flawless 6-for-6 for 55 yards in his only offensive drive in last week's 27-19 victory over Cincinnati, hit his first five on this hot, sticky night. In both of their first two possessions the Saints drove nearly to the goal line, but were stopped.
Making a bold case to possibly unseat Devery Henderson for the No. 2 wide receiver spot was Patten. Despite his drop in the first quarter of a perfectly thrown long pass, the 11-year veteran wound up catching six passes for 75 yards and one touchdown. His 33-yard gainer gave the Saints a first-and-goal on the 5 on their first possession.
But on fourth-and-goal from the 1, Deuce McAllister was thrown for a 2-yard loss by Tank Tyler and Tamba Hali.
Reggie Bush rushed for 51 yards on six carries, including a 12-yard scamper on the second possession that was capped by the first of Olindo Mare's three field goals, 28-yarder.
Bush got loose around end for a 24-yard gain to help set up Mare's 31-yard field goal and a 6-0 lead with 6:37 left in the half. Mare was 3-for-3 with a 44-yarder in the second half for a 16-0 lead.
Brees led the Saints on a six-play, 45-yard drive late in the half capped by Patten's 4-yard touchdown catch when he got wide open in the back of the end zone.
Dwayne Bowe, the Chiefs' first-round pick last year, made his first professional catch. But he also dropped a well thrown ball near the goal line in the fourth quarter, giving the crowd even more reason to boo at the end of the lackluster outing.
Marcus O'Keith scored the Chiefs' touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:53 left.

The 49ers will begin playing home games in a new, $1 billion stadium next year, but perhaps as anticipated in 2014 will be a trip across the Bay to play the Raiders.
San Francisco's schedule features a road game in Oakland as well as a home game at Levi's Stadium against former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL on Monday released the list of 2014 opponents, though playing dates and times won't be announced until the spring.
In addition to their customary home-and-away games against NFC West opponents Seattle, St. Louis and Arizona, the 49ers will play four games against both the AFC West (Raiders, Broncos on road, Chiefs and Chargers at home) and the NFC East (Eagles, Redskins at home, Cowboys and Giants on the road). As per the NFL's criteria, the 49ers schedule includes two intra-conference games against teams that also finished in second place -- a home game against the Bears and a road game at the Saints.
Here's what's in store for the 49ers next season:
Home: Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers
Away: Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, New Orleans Saints, Denver Broncos, Raiders

BOJ's New Easing Could Be a Mixed Blessing for Rest of Asia
By Natasha Brereton-Fukui
The Bank of Japan more stimulatory stance could be a mixed blessing for Asia, potentially providing productive investment flows into the region but also providing fuel for future asset and debt bubbles.

Under immense pressure from the government, Japan's central bank pledged Tuesday to keep an extremely loose policy stance for as long as necessary to meet a new 2% inflation target, which replaces its looser "goal" of a 1% rise in prices.
The BOJ also will increase its asset purchases by a net ¥10 trillion ($112 billion) in 2014, on top of the ¥101 trillion in assets it's expected to have purchased by the end of 2013.
Combined with massive quantitative-easing programs by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the Bank of England, and set against a backdrop of historically low interest rates in developed countries, the BOJ decision highlights the magnitude of potential capital flows into emerging Asia.
The more aggressive BOJ action could be a "win-win" situation for the time being, as flows from Japan should help stabilize financial conditions following European banks' retreat from the region after the global financial crisis, said Masayuki Kichikawa, chief economist at Merrill Lynch Japan Securities Co.
"However, if the flows become too great, they may begin to create some problems," he said.
Tai Hui, chief market strategist for Asia at JP Morgan Asset Management, said the BOJ stance supports the case for investing in asset classes that benefit from an environment of abundant liquidity.
"We have seen Japanese retail players investing in Asia as a result of previous Bank of Japan easing, and we would expect the additional stimulus to increase that trend," he said.
Emerging Asia makes an attractive investment target, given the scope for currency appreciation in most Asian countries and the relatively generous yields on Asian debt. Asian equities also look particularly attractive, Mr. Hui said.
Financial authorities around the region expressed a range of reactions to the BOJ easing.
Bambang Brodjonegoro, head of the fiscal-policy department at Indonesia's Finance Ministry, was optimistic that the looser policy would boost domestic Japanese demand.
"Because Japan is one of Indonesia's largest trading partners, we hope the impact of Japan stimulus will be positive. Hopefully, the stimulus will improve our" exports, he said.
An official handling international finance at South Korea's Finance Ministry was more cautious.
"We are closely monitoring the financial markets to see if there's any excessive bias in trade or expansion of market volatility afterwards. We would conduct smoothing operations to reduce volatility if necessary," the official said.
Korean authorities are considering additional measures to slow volatile foreign-capital flows, said the official, who added: "We cannot say exactly when we will take action. It depends on market conditions. We also plan to gather opinions from experts."
A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate had been stable so far.
"We'll continue to stay alert to potentially volatile fund flows," the spokesperson said.
India's finance minister said he was "intrigued" by the debate over Japanese monetary policy, with new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe very publicly cornering the central bank and its outgoing governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, and pushing them to loosen policy.
"I think the debate between Prime Minister Abe and the governor of the [Bank of Japan] was rather unprecedented in recent times," P. Chidambaram told reporters in Hong Kong.

DIRECTOR: Roman Polanski
Producer: Roman PolanskiEditor: Herve De LuzeScreenwriter: Roman Polanski, Gerard Brach, John BrownjohnCinematographer: Tonino Delli ColliPrincipal Cast: Peter Coyote, Emmanuelle Seigner, Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas
Bitter Moon novelist Pascal Bruckner will speak about his latest work, The Paradox of Love, at The Tattered Cover prior to the screening of Roman Polanski's film adaptation of his book at the Denver FilmCenter.
Hugh Grant plays a mild-mannered (read "repressed") Brit named Nigel who's celebrating his second honeymoon aboard a Mediterranean cruise ship with his proper, cold-fish wife, Fiona (Kristin Scott Thomas). Nigel is lured into an uncomfortable pairing with Oscar (Peter Coyote, in an in-your-face performance), a wheelchair-bound American filled with anger and self-hatred. Oscar buttonholes him into listening to the long tale of his life, including the injury that put him in the chair, and his marriage to Mimi, a man-eating sex goddess (played with unblinking eroticism by Polanski's own spouse, Emmanuelle Seigner). Memories are narrated with flashbacks of kinky sexual encounters that grow in their intensity until it becomes clear that Oscar's disability has something to do with his wife's taste for S&M. Oscar suggests that he wants Nigel to fulfill the husbandly duties he's no longer up to and, despite the sensational cautionary tale, it's a trap Nigel can't resist. He makes excuses to Fiona so he can spend more time with Oscar, the puppeteer who may or may not bring Nigel and Mimi together—and maybe not for the purposes Nigel first believed.
Lurid to the point of being campy, this vintage Polanski adventure explores games, sex, and power with a twisted sexuality that makes the movie as forceful and riveting as Mimi herself.

Not long after Steve Young completed the Flop Heard 'Round the World, his exhausted dive into the end zone after a 49-yard high-speed chase, broadcaster Lon Simmons bumped into the 49ers quarterback at a charity event.
"I think you and I ran out of gas about the same time," Simmons told him.
The last gasp for both men came around the 5-yard line, when Young could barely stand and Simmons could barely believe his eyes. The quarterback capped his journey with an inelegant stumble across the goal line. "It was ugly," linebacker Michael Walter said that day, "but it was beautiful."
Young's nutty run catapulted the 49ers to a 24-21 victory on Oct. 30, 1988, and left indelible, circling footprints all over the Candlestick Park turf.
Simmons, now 90, was more than happy to reflect on the play that ranks No. 5 in our countdown of the 49ers' most unforgettable moments at The Stick. For one thing, the increasing astonishment in his play-call is part of what makes the run great.
For another, he said: "I always felt Candlestick and I were kindred spirits. We're both big and ugly. We're both very windy. And for a long time, they couldn't figure out how to get rid of either of us."
Simmons spent 26 seasons as the voice of the 49ers, enthralling audiences with his vivid descriptions and dry wit. With his baritone voice and natural gravitas, the broadcaster was a voice-of-God type like John Facenda -- but with better punch lines.
Simmons recalls now that broadcasting with Young on the field meant staying on his toes.
"Most players are predictable in what they're going to do and how they're going to do it," he said in a phone interview. "With Steve Young, especially when he took off running, he was making it up as he went along."
That was never truer than in the fourth quarter against the Vikings, the league's top-ranked defense, when the 49ers trailed 21-17 with less than two minutes to go.
The play was designed as a curl to wide receiver Mike Wilson. When Young saw that Wilson was covered, he began searching for tight end Brent Jones. Instead, the next thing he saw was the hand of a ferocious Vikings defensive lineman. "That's when I just rolled," Young said after the game.
At least five Vikings had a shot at Young. Safety Joey Browner and linebacker Jesse Solomon missed him at midfield. Young slipped from cornerback Carl Lee at the 40. Near the 20, Young delivered a stiff-arm to Solomon. But his toughest defender was gravity, which seemed intent on stopping him for those final 5 yards.
The whole thing looked panicky and frantic. Luckily, Simmons had experience with this kind of thing. He had been behind the mike years earlier when a Vikings defensive end named Jim Marshall picked up a fumble at Kezar Stadium and raced toward the wrong end zone. ("Marshall is running the wrong way!" Simmons told the radio audience that day. "He thinks he has scored a touchdown! He has scored a safety!")
Young never ran backward. But he ran just about every other direction. Simmons recalled that from the second Young took the snap, he was "completely surrounded, and it looked for certain like he was going down. And then as he ventured downfield, he kept running into Minnesotans. Every where he turned, he was in enemy country."
This is how it sounded on the air:
"Young, back to throw. In trouble, he's gonna be sacked. No! Gets away. He runs. Gets away again! Goes to the 40. Gets away again! To the 35. Cuts back at the 30, to the 20, the 15, the 10, he dives. Touchdown 49ers!"
Young was in the game because of an injury to Joe Montana, who was laughing on the sideline by the time the zigging and zagging was over. "I know I couldn't have made it," Montana cracked that day. "I would have passed out long before that."
Fullback Harry Sydney ran up to Young after the touchdown and told him: "A hell of a run, Steve. Next time, open your eyes."
Young, then in just his second season with the 49ers, would start only one more time that season. He handed the reins back to Montana, who took it from there, taking the 49ers through the playoffs, spotting John Candy in the stands and then hitting John Taylor with the winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XXIII against the Cincinnati Bengals.
As Simmons points out, it was Young's last-second heroics against the Vikings that kept the 49ers' Super Bowl dreams alive in the first place (losing to Minnesota would have cost the 49ers their playoff spot). Simmons said the play typified the determination Young showed throughout his career as well as his knack for "turning apparent disaster into victories."
As for his part, Simmons regrets not giving offensive lineman Randy Cross credit for a key block on the play.
Then again, Simmons probably needed to save his lungs. By the time the quarterback reached the end zone, Simmons' voice was as spent as Young's legs.
"I don't think either one of us could have gone on much longer," Simmons said.

Husband-wife musical duo comes with credentials
Published: Sunday, May 26, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 7:34 p.m.
Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano, the husband-and-wife duo behind the Nashville-based band Johnnyswim, will perform a mix of blues, jazz and pop at 8 p.m. Saturday at Tryon Fine Arts Center, 34 Melrose Ave., Tryon.
Ramirez studied music at the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Fla., and Sudano hails from a distinguished musical lineage — she is the daughter of singer Donna Summer and producer Bruce Sudano.
The story of how the band was named changes, depending on which member tells it, but it's about a guy named Johnny in the movie "Jaws." He is on a raft, trying to get away from the shark, and his friend yells from the dock, "Swim Johnny. Swim!"
The duo has been performing together for about six years and have written countless songs. Some of the influences that have contributed to their sound are Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Carpenters, Johnny Cash, Dusty Springfield and the music each of their parents played when they were growing up.
Lately, the couple has been listening to Jack Penate, Fleet Foxes, Phoenix, Fiest, Kings of Leon, Brandy Carlisle, Musiq Soulchild and David Matthews.
Ramirez also grew up listening to old-school Spanish music.
The duo often sings breakup songs, and they both identify with a sense of loss.
"In becoming an adult, you become somewhat disillusioned, and we write about that a lot," Ramirez says. "But we do have love songs and songs about overcoming hard times and remaining hopeful."
Sudano says, "My parents made us write songs, and it was something that was fostered in me and my sisters at a very early age. We had a studio in the house, and after we finished our homework, we would write songs. If it was raining, we wrote a song about the rain and then we went to the studio to record it."
Next, the couple hopes to do more work on their acoustic EP. In October, the team will be recording, in November they will tour, and by December they hope to close some deals.
The Tryon concert is sponsored by 1906 Pine Crest Inn. For more on Johnnyswim, visit johnnyswim.com.
Tickets for the event are $15 and are available online at www.tryonarts.org or at the box office. Call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org for more information.

OAKLAND -- A UC Berkeley football player on Friday pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges that his attorney said are based on a one-sided account of a confrontation that started when the sophomore safety was attacked by the alleged victim's dog.
Darmaria Drew, 20, from Livermore, has been suspended from the Cal football team pending the outcome of allegations that he punched a fellow student in the face at least three times and fractured his jaw.
The Alameda County District Attorney's Office, which charged Drew this week with assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, alleges that Drew attacked the student and kicked his 20-pound Jack Russell terrier mix during a fundraising event at a fraternity house on May 4.
"They are also some witnesses in the documents that corroborate Damaria's description of what took place and that is that the dog bit him, he tried to get the dog from biting him again, that the complainant confronts him, puts his hands on him and he defends himself," Drew's defense attorney Darryl Stallworth said. "We've got a classic case here of who's the aggressor, who provoked who, and I'm going to start doing some research now, interviewing some of the people who may not have been contacted yet, in order to get a clearer picture."
At his arraignment in an Oakland courtroom Friday, Drew told a judge that his name is spelled Damaria, and not Damariay like it's spelled on the Cal website. Drew is free on $100,000 bail and was ordered back to court for a pretrial hearing on May 22.

Earnings Season: Companies Have Low Bar to Hurdle
The stock market is selling off, Europe is flaring up and worries about economic growth are intensifying. Could earnings save the day?
It's quite possible.
Expectations for earnings season have come in so drastically over the last few weeks that any upside surprise could give stocks a lift.
"Corporate America has a very low bar to cross in order to impress analysts and investors," says Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group.
Call it the expectation game. Yes, earnings growth is set to narrow quite a bit. But there's potential for earnings exceed diminished expectations and give a short-term boost to stocks.
The way the market is behaving these days, investors will take anything they can get.
Stocks are sharply lower and on pace for a fifth straight decline. The Dow is down 193 points, or 1.5%, to 12736, pushing the blue-chip index down 4% during the losing skid. The S&P 500 is down 22 points, or 1.6%, to 1360 and the Nasdaq Comp recently fell 52 points, or 1.7%, to 2995.
Colas says analysts are expecting the Dow's 30 components to register a 3.8% quarterly growth rate compared to a year ago.
"If large multinationals such as those in the Dow can't handily beat these numbers, U.S. stocks can and should decline further," he said. "But with such a low bar, a bullish stance on equities is an easier argument at the moment."
To be sure, there's a "cloud around that silver lining," he adds. "Not meeting diminished expectations is no one's idea of a good story. Or a good investment."
Alcoa kicks off the festivities today after the closing bell. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to report a quarterly loss of 4 cents a share, on revenue of 5.8 billion. Keep in mind the company has missed analysts' earnings expectations for the last three quarters, according to FactSet.
Shares were recently down 2.4% at $9.37 and touched a three-month low earlier today.
