FAIRFIELD -- A judge declared a mistrial Thursday in retired Vallejo police captain Tony Pearsall's bizarre driving-under-the-influence and hit-and-run case, involving the widely prescribed sleep medication Ambien.
Solano County Superior Court Judge Robert Bowers declared the mistrial after the jury announced it was deadlocked after just three hours of deliberations. Nine jurors felt Pearsall was guilty of the DUI charge; three felt he was guilty of the hit-and-run charge.
Both charges are misdemeanors with a maximum jail sentence of six months.
Solano County Deputy District Attorney Rashaan Jones said afterward the case will be re-tried. A trial-setting date was scheduled for May 2, in Bowers' Fairfield courtroom.
The case stems from Pearsall's arrest in July 2012, after he allegedly struck a parked car in a shopping center parking lot and later bumped a police car in front of his house in the 200 block of El Camino Real in Vallejo.
Pearsall, 68, didn't dispute the evidence that he drove while impaired. Instead, he fought the charges based on his belief that he didn't know -- and wasn't properly warned -- about the medication's intoxicating effects.

A little while ago my son and I were talking late one night and the subject of Jack, an old acquaintance of mine came up. Apropos of what I can�t recall.
I told my son this guy was a bombastic braggart with no solid accomplishments to his name. Though highly intelligent and quite well-read he couldn�t, or wouldn�t hold down a job.
He sponged off friends and was a fine example of what I call the �third time deadbeat.� Meaning he�d borrow a small amount of money from you and scrupulously pay it back – twice. The third time he�d borrow a significant amount which you�d never see again.
He also liked to borrow things, and if you let him he�d take it as permission to borrow them any time thereafter without asking.
If you held on to your stuff, he�d sneer at you for your materialism. (He fancied himself a spiritual guru, which made up part of his disdain for work.)
There were all kinds of things he was going to do, eventually. At one time he was going to start a computer shop, and explained to anyone who�d listen how easy it was going to be to talk a bank into lending him the money. With no collateral. Or a business plan. Or a co-signer.
I have no idea if he actually tried it, though it wouldn�t surprise me.
He had an ex-wife who�d wised up to him too late, after having two beautiful daughters he never even attempted to support. He later had another child with a woman who supported him for years before she finally kicked him out.
Last I heard of him he�d died in his sleep in a rented room somewhere, alone at the end.
Stated baldly this sounds really damning, but in fact he was a charming fellow and good enough company to spend the price of a sandwich and a beer on. If he insisted on ego strokes about the wonderfulness of himself, he was just as willing to stroke your ego with praise of how wonderful you were.
Though as I put it, �We are all of us a little poorer for having known Jack,� he didn�t leave a trail of broken souls in his wake, nor did he sponge more than anyone could afford as the price of the lesson.
A mutual friend, a research psychologist, and I believed we had identified in him and a few others like him a hitherto-undiagnosed personality disorder we called �Bandar-loggia,� after Rudyard Kipling�s Bandar-log, the monkey people of �The Jungle Book.�
�Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know:
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete in a minute or two-�
Right about this time my son, who is young but wasn�t born yesterday, said, �What a creep!� or words to that effect.
�I will always be grateful to him,� I replied.
�??????� my son said.
What I told him was that that could have been me. Jack was a very intelligent guy. Well so am I, and so is my son.
Jack very well might have been told as a boy how smart he was, and how he would accomplish great things someday.
But he didn�t. He became in the words of a friend, �Not a ne�er do well, but a ne�er do at all.�
And in the end he served me very well indeed, as an example of what I did not want to be.
�Accomplishments? I don�t gotta show you no steenking acomplishments. I�m really smart!�
Calvin Coolidge, possibly our most underrated president put it, �Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.�
So thanks Jack, wherever you may be, from me and my son.

South Korea, 2011, 97 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Animated, Asian, Coming of Age, Drama, KoreanLanguage: Korean English Sub-Titles
This powerful animated film portrays the savage oppression of teenage boys in South Korea. Out of the blue, failed businessman Kyung-min contacts Jong-Suk, an old classmate, with the purpose of reliving their barbarous middle-school years. The two were among the "pigs," or lower-class students, living miserably under a reign of terror by the upper-class "dogs." They haven't spoken in 15 years, since the death of the one "pig" who stood up to the harsh treatment—their friend Chul, for whom the film is named. As the two men explore their tortured relationship, the film recalls the bullying and brutality in flashback.
The King of Pigs finds its greatest terror in the harsh reality of being trapped by corrupt peers. This is reported horror, devastatingly believable despite the film's animated format. The ending defies expectations of how these two grew up and became allies, and what their guilt and hatred led them to do. The feudal nature of class warfare in the closed world of middle school speaks of the intractable nature of bullying, informed by Korean society's norms.
The film can be brutal, with animation that is stark and vivid, occasionally relieved by fleeting moments of real beauty and painterly landscapes. Appropriate only for adult audiences, The King of Pigs makes free use of the violent conventions of Asian action films.

text: Fans of "American Horror Story" can expect some familiar faces returning for season 2. Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have recently revealed during the PaleyFest panel that 5 cast members from the original season will be returning to play all new characters next season. It comes as no surprise that Golden Globe winner Jessica Lange will be heading up season 2. Also returning? Sarah Paulson, Zachary Quinto, Lily Rabe and Evan Peters. It will be interesting to see Peters, who played antagonist Tate in season 1, get to play a whole new character.

IUCN Red List Assessment

Red List Criteria
Year Assessed
There is no species specific population information available for this species. However, there is evidence that overall coral reef habitat has declined, and this is used as a proxy for population decline for this species. This species is more resilient to some of the threats faced by corals and therefore population decline is estimated using the percentage of destroyed reefs only (Wilkinson 2004). We assume that most, if not all, mature individuals will be removed from a destroyed reef and that on average, the number of individuals on reefs are equal across its range and proportional to the percentage of destroyed reefs. Reef losses throughout the species' range have been estimated over three generations, two in the past and one projected into the future.
The age of first maturity of most reef building corals is typically three to eight years (Wallace 1999) and therefore we assume that average age of mature individuals is greater than eight years. Furthermore, based on average sizes and growth rates, we assume that average generation length is 10 years, unless otherwise stated. Total longevity is not known, but likely to be more than ten years. Therefore any population decline rates for the Red List assessment are measured over at least 30 years. Follow the link below for further details on population decline and generation length estimates.
Population Trend
In general, the major threat to corals is global climate change, in particular, temperature extremes leading to bleaching and increased susceptibility to disease, increased severity of ENSO events and storms, and ocean acidification.
Coral disease has emerged as a serious threat to coral reefs worldwide and a major cause of reef deterioration (Weil et al. 2006). The numbers of diseases and coral species affected, as well as the distribution of diseases have all increased dramatically within the last decade (Porter et al. 2001, Green and Bruckner 2000, Sutherland et al. 2004, Weil 2004). Coral disease epizootics have resulted in significant losses of coral cover and were implicated in the dramatic decline of acroporids in the Florida Keys (Aronson and Precht 2001, Porter et al. 2001, Patterson et al. 2002). In the Indo-Pacific, disease is also on the rise with disease outbreaks recently reported from the Great Barrier Reef (Willis et al. 2004), Marshall Islands (Jacobson 2006) and the northwestern Hawaiian Islands (Aeby 2006). Increased coral disease levels on the GBR were correlated with increased ocean temperatures (Willis et al. 2007) supporting the prediction that disease levels will be increasing with higher sea surface temperatures. Escalating anthropogenic stressors combined with the threats associated with global climate change of increases in coral disease, frequency and duration of coral bleaching and ocean acidification place coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific at high risk of collapse.
Localized threats to corals include fisheries, human development (industry, settlement, tourism, and transportation), changes in native species dynamics (competitors, predators, pathogens and parasites), invasive species (competitors, predators, pathogens and parasites), dynamite fishing, chemical fishing, pollution from agriculture and industry, domestic pollution, sedimentation, and human recreation and tourism activities.
The severity of these combined threats to the global population of each individual species is not known.
Conservation Actions
Recommended measures for conserving this species include research in taxonomy, population, abundance and trends, ecology and habitat status, threats and resilience to threats, restoration action; identification, establishment and management of new protected areas; expansion of protected areas; recovery management; and disease, pathogen and parasite management. Artificial propagation and techniques such as cryo-preservation of gametes may become important for conserving coral biodiversity.
Having timely access to national-level trade data for CITES analysis reports would be valuable for monitoring trends this species. The species is targeted by collectors for the aquarium trade and fisheries management is required for the species, e.g., MPAs, quotas, size limits, etc. Consideration of the suitability of species for aquaria should also be included as part of fisheries management, and population surveys should be carried out to monitor the effects of harvesting. Recommended conservation measures include population surveys to monitor the effects of collecting for the aquarium trade, especially in Indonesia.

- Heartbleed flaw found in Cisco, Juniper Networking products
- Apr 9:
- 'Heartbleed' bug: What you need to know
- Not sure if a site is safe from 'Heartbleed'? Use this tool to check
- 'Heartbleed' bug: Experts say change all your passwords
- 'Heartbleed' vulnerability puts Web users' passwords at risk
The National Security Agency on Friday strongly denied a news report that said the government failed to warn the public about the notorious Heartbleed software flaw -- allegedly because the NSA wanted to continue using it to gather intelligence.
The story, by Bloomberg News, said the NSA left countless Internet users and businesses vulnerable to hackers for the past two years, in order to continue exploiting the Heartbleed bug as a powerful tool for obtaining passwords and other data from users' accounts.
Both the NSA and the White House used uncharacteristically direct language in statements late Friday that flatly denied the report.
But the report and denials served to underscore the growing skepticism and mistrust surrounding government spy programs that have been revealed by a wave of news leaks in recent months.
"I don't know first-hand that the NSA knew of this bug previously, but I don't believe one has to stretch their imagination far to believe that to be a strong possibility," said Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer at BeyondTrust, a cybersecurity firm.
"There are vulnerabilities that are known to some researchers and, yes, they are not disclosed to the public and to the general security community," added Philip Lieberman, president of Lieberman Software, another security firm.
Still, he said: "When you find something that is this nasty, you generally go get it fixed quietly."
The Heartbleed flaw is a vulnerability in what's called the OpenSSL system, which is software that's used to encrypt sensitive information on nearly two-thirds of all websites. After the glitch was disclosed publicly by tech company researchers this week, experts said hackers could use it to steal passwords and access a variety of web accounts, including email, banking and shopping services.
Bloomberg cited two unnamed "people familiar with the matter" as sources for its report, which said the NSA discovered the Heartbleed flaw shortly after it was accidentally created in 2012 by a programmer who was making adjustments in OpenSSL.
After that, Bloomberg said, the bug "became a basic part of the agency's tool kit for stealing account passwords" and other information while most Internet users and security experts remained unaware of the flaw.
Bloomberg said the NSA declined to comment before the story came out.
That quickly changed.
"NSA was not aware of the recently identified vulnerability in OpenSSL, the so-called Heartbleed vulnerability, until it was made public in a private-sector cybersecurity report. Reports that say otherwise are wrong," said agency spokeswoman Vanee Vines in a statement after Bloomberg released its story.
In a separate statement, the office of White House intelligence director James Clapper said: "If the federal government, including the intelligence community, had discovered this vulnerability before last week, it would have been disclosed to the community" of private and academic security researchers who are responsible for the OpenSSL encryption program.
Top executives from some of Silicon Valley's Internet companies have previously protested the government's efforts to obtain user data through various means, including efforts the companies said occurred without their knowledge.
While leading Internet companies declined to comment Friday, officials at some security firms said the Bloomberg report added fuel to a broader debate about the NSA's operations.
"This again calls into discussion the right balance of modern intelligence agencies needing undisclosed vulnerabilities for espionage activities, while balancing how much those vulnerabilities also expose the very companies and countries they are meant to be protecting," said Maiffret.
Many software developers and security experts were already dismayed by a New York Times report last fall that said the NSA had waged a secret campaign to weaken encryption standards so it can read coded messages.
In addition, other outlets, including the Washington Post, have reported both the NSA and Defense Department have extensive programs to identify and exploit so-called "zero-day" vulnerabilities -- software flaws that haven't yet been repaired -- and have even purchased information about such flaws on a gray market of malware vendors.
The Heartbleed risk is considered so high that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned banks and other businesses on Friday to be on alert for hackers trying to exploit the bug. Government officials have also encouraged companies to share information so they can better combat the problem.
But security experts suggested the government's credibility had already suffered before the Bloomberg report.
"Revelations about how governments had been surrendering commercial and personal privacy in the name of national security ... have left citizens trust badly shaken," said Steve Durbin, global vice president of the Information Security Forum, an organization of industry security professionals.
Referring to the Bloomberg report, Durbin added, "Certainly, these new revelations will do little to boost trust."

Protecting against Heartbleed
Experts recommend users change the passwords for all their online accounts to protect themselves from the ramifications of the Heartbleed bug. But before changing their passwords for specific websites, users should first check that those sites have fixed the Heartbleed problem.
Users can easily check if a site is secure by going to this website: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/
There, type in the URL for any website that requires information from users, such as email providers, banks, social networks, shopping sites and more. The tool will quickly check the site and notify the user if it is safe or not.

What is Listology?
The short answer to the question above is this: Listology is a repository of movie, book, music, television and other lists.
Creating lists couldn't be easier; you just create an ID, write up your list, and hit "Save."
If you're just here to browse, have a look at the recent activity on the site, or use the box to the left to search for your favorite movie (or book, etc.). If you're having a hard time getting started, here's some Favorite Movie By Genre lists.
19 years of IMDB Top 250Submitted by dashforcover on Fri, 07/10/2015 - 21:39
IMDB, the International Movie DataBase, is a resource many of us use to find information about the films and television shows we watch. One resource IMDB makes available is a list of their top 250 titles. Defining the development of the list, IMDB says, "Top 250 movies as voted by our users. For this top 250, only votes from regular voters are considered." This means that as ratings are recorded, the list changes.

Listology Spam BrigadeSubmitted by heyrocker on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 10:09
So the spam situation here has gotten pretty bad, as many of you have perhaps noticed. The service I use (Mollom) helps a lot but not completely, and I am trying to avoid adding CAPTCHA to all submissions because I know a lot of people find it irritating. I don't think it would help much anyways, a lot of the spam these days is actually done by real human beings who get paid pennies per comment posted on websites with decent Google rankings. A while ago I deputized AJDaGreat to help as spam cop, giving him the ability to delete spam comments and block spammers. However he has been busy lately and is about to go into law school, therefore I am looking for some volunteers to help out.

I'm running PMS under Ubuntu. Before 1.02 everything worked perfect. .02 / .02.1 are giving me "dlna error 2110" when I access one specific directory. It's the same directory under both versions of PMS. It sounded to me like a permissions issue, so I did a "chmod -R 777 /folder" and chown'd it to my username (not root). It didn't solve the problem. I'm using a wired Ethernet connection. I'm going to do a complete re-install and see how that goes.
Any ideas?

CAMBRIDGE - When your shooting percentage from behind the three-point arc in girls basketball is better than your percentage from inside the arc, your opponent may have a serious problem.
The team with the serious problem Thursday night was the Martins Ferry Lady Purple Riders as the Fort Frye Lady Cadets connected on 10-of-17 shots from three-point range en route to a dominating 70-23 victory at Cambridge High School to clinch yet another sectional championship.
The Lady Cadets fell behind 3-2 in the opening minutes of the game before going on a 16-0 run and then never looked back as they clinched their fourth consecutive sectional championship.

KIM NORTH Special to The Times
Fort Frye's Deidra Combs, center, looks to make a play during sectional final action against Martins Ferry at Cambridge Thursday night.
"We have kind of learned from experience that it is important to come out strong from the start," said Fort Frye head coach Dan Liedtke, whose girls have now claimed sectional titles in all four years of his coaching tenure. "We have been in some very close games in the sectionals so I told our girls now is the time we have to play our best."
The Cadets were at their best all night long as they hit on 14-of-25 first half shot attempts, including 6-of-9 from three-point range to take a comfortable 39-9 lead into intermission.
With 3:10 to play in the second quarter, Cadet senior Deidra Combs scored her first points of the game and point number 1,000 of her fine Fort Frye career.

"It really wasn't one of my goals," said Combs, who was presented the game ball by Coach Liedtke after the game. "All of my goals involve the team, but it is a nice achievement and I am very happy about it."
The Cadets were clicking on offense all night long as they recorded assists on 19 of their 27 made field goals in the game.
Six different Lady Cadets scored at least eight points and all nine girls that got into the game scored at least a field goal. "This team is very fundamentally sound," said Liedtke of his squad that also out rebounded the Lady Riders by a 28-16 margin. "We have a lot of girls that can score so we have to take whatever they are going to give us and whoever is open is going to take the shot."
Liedtke's oldest daughter Morgan led the Cadets in scoring with 17 points, including 5-of-6 from three-point range.
"I could tell when she was warming up that she looked like she was shooting confident," said Dan Liedtke. "She's been pretty consistent for us all year long."
Joining Liedtke in double figures was Brooke Borich with 12.
Shawntell Parsons added nine points and Micayla Hupp, Combs, and Taylor Buchanan all finished with eight.
Martins Ferry, whose season comes to a close with a 15-9 record, was led in scoring by Jessica Kinney with 11.
Next up for the 21-3 and 11th ranked Lady Cadets is a trip to Steubenville next Thursday to take on the winner of the West Lafayette Ridgewood versus Tuscarawas Valley game with a 6 p.m tip-off.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is scarring or thickening of the lungs without a known cause.
Idiopathic diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis; IPF; Pulmonary fibrosis; Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis; CFA; Fibrosing alveolitis; Usual interstitial pneumonitis; UIP
Doctors do not know what causes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or why some people get it. Idiopathic means the cause is not known. The condition may be due to the lungs responding to an unknown substance or injury. Genes may play a role in developing IPF. The disease occurs most often in people between 50 and 70 years old.
When you have IPF, your lungs become scarred and stiffened. This makes it hard for you to breathe. In some people, IPF gets worse quickly over months or a few years. In others, IPF worsens over a much longer time.
The health care provider will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You will be asked whether you have been exposed to asbestos or other toxins and if you have been a smoker.
The physical exam may find that you have:
Tests that help diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis include the following:
There is no known cure for IPF.
Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms:
Making home and lifestyle changes can help manage breathing symptoms. If you or any family members smoke, now is the time to stop.
Some patients with advanced pulmonary fibrosis may need a lung transplant.
Medicines are now being tested to see if they can slow the disease.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
These organizations are good resources for information on lung disease:
Some patients may improve or stay stable for a long time with or without treatment. Most people get worse, even with treatment.
When breathing symptoms become more severe, you and your doctor should discuss treatments that prolong life, such as lung transplantation. Also discuss advance care planning.
Complications of IPF may include:
Call your health care provider right away if you have any of the followinig:

For Sears, the 'Dangerous Downward Spiral' Continues
Once upon a time, Sears Holdings Corp. encouraged consumers to come see its softer side. Based on its most recent quarterly report, the retailer's financial soft side is on full display, and investors don't like what they see.
Sears' quarterly loss widened from a year ago, revenue fell and margins tightened as the company grapples with lower foot traffic and waning demand. The disappointing results add to a string of quarterly reports that have magnified the struggles taking place at Sears.
"Another disappointing quarter," is how Gary Balter, the bearish retail analyst at Credit Suisse, described the company's results. Mr. Balter, who has an underperform rating and a $20 price target on Sears, pointed out the company reported a higher short-term debt balance from a year ago, which he dubbed as an "ominous" sign.
Shares recently fell 8.6% to $39.55 on more than twice the stock's average daily trading volume, according to FactSet. The stock has lost about 1/4 of its market value over the past 12 months, including a 33% drop since late May.
"Sears remains on a dangerous downward spiral," Mr. Balter said in a note to clients. "To finance operations and create liquidity, Sears continues to pare back on inventory, spinoff select businesses, and to sell some of its best locations. This is leading to even weaker operating results, which in turn is leading to additional dispositions of good locations.
"Given the multiple assets that Sears owns, including Lands' End and some excellent real estate locations, this trend can continue for awhile," he added. "However, at some point, if EBITDA does not improve one wonders if vendors get more concerned on the direction. Problems with retailers usually begin with vendors paring back, not with obvious liquidity issues."
Sears, controlled by billionaire hedge-fund investor Edward Lampert, has lately been revamping its image to become more chic. Yes, chic. It's secured upscale offerings for the Marketplace section of its website, which features goods sold by third-party vendors. Those offerings contrast sharply with the washing machines, tools and basic clothing that are the mainstays of the department-store chain.
In addition, Mr. Lampert has made e-commerce a priority, hoping to position the company to compete better with larger online marketplaces run by Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc. So far so good: Online sales from sears.com and kmart.com jumped 20%.
The problem, though, is online sales account for a tiny percentage of Sears' overall revenue. Some analysts see the effort as a distraction from work needed to shape up the company's stores, which account for an estimated 97% of its sales.
"It is becoming clearer that cash flow from operations will remain negative for some time after taking out CapEx, interest payments, and cash pension contributions," Mr. Balter says.
"We guess time will tell, but at this stage, time does not appear to be on the side of this company."

DeAndre Kane drove for the game-winning layup with 1.6 seconds left, and No. 3 seed Iowa State advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2000 with an 85-83 victory over No. 6 seed North Carolina on Sunday in San Antonio.
With Tar Heels coach Roy Williams jumping and gesticulating for a timeout, Nate Britt raced the ball up court after Kane's basket, but time expired before he could reach midcourt and call a timeout. Officials huddled for several minutes reviewing clock replays before ruling the game was over.
"Let's not anybody lay it on the officials or anything like that. We didn't call the timeout with 1.6 seconds to play," Williams said.
Kane finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (28-7), who head to New York's Madison Square Garden to face No. 7 seed Connecticut in the East Regional semifinals Friday.
Big 12 player of the year Melvin Ejam added 19 points for Iowa State. Marcus Paige led the Tar Heels (24-10) with 19 points.
Virginia 78, Memphis 60: Joe Harris scored 16 points, helping the top-seeded Cavaliers (30-6) roll past the eighth-seeded Tigers (24-10) in Raleigh, N.C.
Virginia advanced to its first regional semifinal since 1995. The Cavaliers will face No. 4 seed Michigan State on Friday in New York.
West Regional
Arizona 84, Gonzaga 61: Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 18 points each, and the top-seeded Wildcats (32-4) cruised past the eighth-seeded Bulldogs (29-7) in San Diego.
Arizona dominated Gonzaga, harassing the Zags into 21 turnovers -- 15 on steals -- that led to 31 points. The Wildcats led by 21 in the first half.
Arizona will meet No. 4 seed San Diego State on Thursday in a regional semifinal.
Baylor 85, Creighton 55: Isaiah Austin and Brady Heslip each scored 17 points, and the sixth-seeded Bears (26-11) routed the third-seeded Bluejays (27-8) in San Antonio.
Baylor will play No. 2 seed Wisconsin in a regional semifinal Thursday.
The Bears shut down Creighton star Doug McDermott, who ends his career ranked fifth on the NCAA scoring list. McDermott, who averaged 27 points this season, finished with 15 but had just three in the first half as Baylor built a 20-point lead.
South Regional
UCLA 77, Stephen F. Austin 60: Jordan Adams scored 19 points to lead the fourth-seeded Bruins (28-8) past the 12th-seeded Lumberjacks (32-3) in San Diego.
UCLA will play overall top seed Florida in a regional semifinal Thursday.
Stephen F. Austin saw its winning streak end at 29 games.
Midwest Regional
Tennessee 83, Mercer 63: Jarnell Stokes had 17 points and a career-high-tying 18 rebounds, and the 11th-seeded Volunteers (24-12) defeated the 14th-seeded Bears (27-9) in Raleigh.
Josh Richardson had a game-high 26 points to help Tennessee advance to a regional semifinal against No. 2 seed Michigan on Friday.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Physical pain is easy to see. For a soldier, bumps, bruises and broken bones are familiar territory, but what lies inside the mind can be even harder to heal.
Along with medals, the soldiers wore confidence, camaraderie and a healthy dose of competition as they vied for gold in an effort to help themselves heal.
"These warriors have not given up. They will continue to fight, continue trying to get better and continue that healing process," said Command Sgt. Major for Warrior Transition Battallion for Fort Gordon Reginald Wade.
It may look like a regular basketball game to you, but each player is a soldier who's battling much more than the opposing team.
"I was that soldier, thought my life was over," said wounded warrior for the Fort Gordon team, Anthony Misuraca.
You could never tell by the looks of him, but Misuraca is still healing after being attacked in Iraq in 2010.
"I was conducting a security patrol in Iraq, and I was shot in the leg by a sniper. It shattered my femur, and I lost about 50 percent of my left thigh muscle," Misuraca said.
"They've served their country well, and now it's time for us to serve them well as they transition on the path of recovery and healing," said CSM Wade.
Fort Benning, Fort Jackson, Fort Stewart and Fort Gordon are the four teams competing, but the games are about more than winning.
For many, it's about never giving up.
"One team, one fight. We are stationed at different installations, but at the end of the day, it's one team, one fight, so we're all in it together," Wade said.
All the while, the soldiers are cultivating friendships that are stronger than the pain of battle.
"It's great to celebrate victories with your teammates. Go out after and have dinner and talk about the guy falling over or the play that should have happened. It's great camaraderie. All those wounded soldiers out there, they just need to push themselves. It's not over. There's always something bigger and better to do. Don't give up," Misuraca said.
Misuraca won eight medals in the games, and Fort Gordon won the overall award for winning the most events.
And Misuraca's not done yet. He'll be competing in the Half Ironman here in Augusta next weekend.

Knitter's Review
September 13, 2012
My grandma and I aren't the only ones captivated by the wool of Iceland. In the 1960s, a young Meg Swansen spent a month in Reykjavik and fell in love with unspun "plates" of wool called Plötulopi.
She sent several samples home to her mother, Elizabeth Zimmermann, who promptly began to import and sell this wool in the U.S. Today, Schoolhouse Press still carries this unusual yarn under the name Un-Spun Icelandic. Join me for a swatch?

lilill is a Little OS X Application that makes using menubar extras fun. It is optimized for use on laptops, especially the 12" & 13" models where menubar extra space is at a premium. We believe in using menubar extras, and are frustrated when we can't see them all due to limited horizontal screen space and overly aggressive menus in applications.
When you make lilill the active application, all you see is its name. No help menu, no edit or window menus. Just a simple thin name with TONS of space to see all those previously hidden menubar extras.
Required OS: not specified

minu and menuola are similar
Neat app. Could you by any chance make it a menubar app only that can be placed to the far right (like MenuClaendarClock or PopChar for instance) so it doesn't crowd the Cmd-Tab app-list.
expecting a kind of menu-stack i was surprised by the effectiveness of this solution.
it is very simple and basic idea though, which grants speed and future compatibility.
thumbs up,
though this lacks a bit of spirit
I fixed the crashing bug and released a new version.
I had the same idea in my head for a long time.
Being a 15" powerbook user, it was more an envy than a need, so I didn't find the time to do it.
It's very nice to see an other people had the same idea and actually did it.
Unfortunately, this first beta crash for me.
Neat idea. I like it!

Fuel Charging and Controls The fuel charging and controls system consists of: fuel pressure regulator (9C968) fuel injection supply manifold (9F792) fuel injectors (9F593) fuel shut off valve solenoid (9D278) fuel pressure relief valve (9H321) injection pressure sensor engine fuel temperature sensor fuel charging wiring harness Component Location Fuel Pressure Regulator The fuel pressure regulator is located on the inside of the LH frame rail just forward of the transmission support crossmember. It is part of an assembly that includes the coalescer/filter. The fuel pressure regulator reduces the line pressure from tank pressure 20685 kPa (3000 psi) to line pressure 655 kPa (95 psi). Heating/Defrosting—Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel pressure regulator heating is provided by two 3/8-inch taps from the existing heater supply and return hoses on the RH rear of the engine. Two high-temperature 3/8-inch ID heater hoses (packaged with the front low-pressure fuel line) are used to connect the fuel pressure regulator to the tap points on the engine heater hoses. Refer to the Line — Low Pressure Fuel procedure in Section 310-01B for fuel pressure regulator heater hose replacement. Fuel Pressure Regulator Heater Hoses Fuel Injection Supply Manifold The fuel injection supply manifold delivers high-pressure fuel from the vehicle fuel supply line to the fuel injectors. The fuel injection supply manifold consists of the following: a tubular fuel rail eight fuel injector connectors a fuel pressure relief valve a fuel shut off valve solenoid mounting attachments which locate the fuel injection supply manifold and provide fuel injector retention. a fuel inlet connection which has a push-connect fitting an injection pressure sensor an engine fuel temperature sensor Fuel Injection Supply Manifold Fuel Injectors The natural gas fuel injectors are electro-mechanical devices that meter fuel delivered to the engine. The natural gas fuel injectors are mounted in the lower intake manifold (9424) and are positioned so that their tips direct fuel just ahead of the engine intake valves (6507). The natural gas fuel injector bodies consist of a solenoid and a needle and valve assembly. Natural gas fuel injectors can be identified by an aqua cap on the injector body. Fuel Shutoff Valve Solenoid The fuel shut off valve solenoid seals the upstream fuel pressure from entering the fuel injection supply manifold when the engine is not running. The fuel shut off valve solenoid is open only when it is activated by the solenoid valve (fuel pump) relay. Fuel Pressure Relief Valve The fuel pressure relief valve is located on the fuel injection supply manifold, and is used to relieve fuel system pressure from the fuel delivery system. Injection Pressure Sensor The injection pressure sensor is located on the fuel injection supply manifold, and is used to provide a signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) that is proportional to pressure in the fuel injection supply manifold. Engine Fuel Temperature Sensor The engine fuel temperature sensor is located on the fuel injection supply manifold, and is used to provide a signal to the powertrain control module that indicates the temperature of the fuel in the fuel injection supply manifold. Fuel Charging Wiring The fuel charging wiring is a single harness that includes electrical connectors for the fuel injectors, ignition coils and various sensors, valves and senders that monitor all engine functions.

Hunter charged for shooting dog
Vt hunter cited for animal cruelty in dog shooting
A Milton hunter is facing a charge of animal cruelty after police say he shot a dog in Jericho that he said he had mistaken for a coyote.
Fifty-eight-year-old Richard T. Blondin Jr. is accused of shooting the 3-year-old German shepherd while on the dog owner's property during muzzleloader season.
The dog was shot near Snipe Island Road, a public highway. The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that the shot was fired from nearby Nashville Road.
Blondin called police to report that he had shot the dog with a black powder rifle.
He's been cited to appear in Chittenden Superior Court to answer an offense of cruelty to animals.

Check ICN Site Availability
In this session students interact with a meteorologist who can trace his interest in the weather back to grade school. When he was in Little League he used to be more interested in watching the weather than watching the ball game.
He studied meteorology in college and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. He then started an internship at a weather service and was promoted to Journeyman Meteorologist, then to his current position of Senior Forecaster for NOAA. (Formerly the National Weather Service.)
He likes the continual change in technology and the variability of the job. Every day is different for him. Within the span of a few hours tranquil weather could turn to a threatening thunderstorm and because of that he says, "You have to be a fairly quick decision maker."
Looking back, he admits he probably should have paid more attention to physics and the different platforms of software and technology that were introduced to him. However, he has learned many skills through on-the-job training. In his free time, depending on the weather, he enjoys all sports and participates in tennis, racquetball, volleyball, snow skiing and softball.

Only ten 'interactive' sites are scheduled for each session. 'View-only' sites will be considered and added when possible after ten 'interactive' sites are confirmed for a session. Videotaping is NOT available.

There is something quite magical about James Brantley's land and cityscapes. The atmosphere is hypnotic, thick, something you know you are breathing. The DCCA has chosen to focus on Brantley's depictions of buildings for this exhibition. These architectural spaces sometimes include people, but most often do not, or, even when they do, the people become a part of the larger compositional structure. The focus is not on them; they operate as abstract elements within the invented space of the painting. The term "invented" is vitally important here. Brantley may indeed begin with inspiration from nature or from an actual location, but the result is the creation of a world that operates under its own laws. Balance, proportion, value, and light maneuver in a way that is disconnected from our world while completely enveloped within Brantley's vision. However, we are not forbidden, but rather drawn into his paintings, even vacuumed in. Many of the works are large and the space depicted large as well. The skies are vast romantic expanses of cloud and light.
Skies have meaning. They can be brooding, foreboding, exotic, chaotic, enlightening, excited, and even patriotic. The skies in this series of works are important. They take up an enormous expanse of the composition, and they provide mood and context for the presented scene. Brantley activates the surfaces with broadly painted brushstrokes, adding a dramatic element to many of the works. Some of the skies are a cerulean blue with white clouds while others contain more grey. Some have dark, dramatic storm clouds and hints of the sun's golden tones while others are still. Below and in front of these skies the buildings rest in groups, strips, and clusters—reduced to basic geometric shapes with little or no ornament decorating their facades. Windows punctuate their flat exteriors. They are often dwarfed by the sky. It seems as if we are viewing a set for a city; this is the sense of unreality attached to the scenes. The buildings provide a façade for the life that takes place behind them, but in many of the paintings we don't sense that life. There is little hint of it as the view is empty, devoid of all but the essential forms.
The stillness and lack of movement provide a fascinating contrast with the activated surfaces, so that at the same time that we are enveloped by the atmosphere, we are also slowed down by the calmness of the scene. It is the combination of distinctive environment and empty space that suggests a magical element to the works. Brantley's paintings are poetic meditations upon the meaning of metropolitan. Cities are full of buildings that are full of people, yet Brantley's urban centers are quiet, tranquil places where we see the evidence of a human presence in their protective shells—buildings— but where we rarely see human activity. It is the lyrical quietude that gives his works their special significance and which alludes to ideas about the relationship between human beings and their environment.

SAN JOSE -- San Jose State was in position to make a big splash in its first season in the Mountain West Conference.
But after a demoralizing loss to San Diego State, the Spartans suddenly are scrambling to salvage a winning record.
"We'll see how the team responds to this," coach Ron Caragher said after the Spartans squandered an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead in a 34-30 loss Saturday night. "It's definitely frustrating. I thought that was a game we could've won, but that's why you've got to finish. It's just disappointing."
The Spartans (5-4, 4-2) were hoping their Nov. 29 home game against Fresno State would decide the West Division title, but SJSU now needs help to make that happen. Fresno State (9-0, 6-0) can clinch the division crown when it plays lowly New Mexico on Nov. 23.
"It's nothing we can control now," quarterback David Fales said of the team's conference title hopes. "We've got to focus on what we can control, and that's Nevada (Saturday.)"
The Spartans need one win to become bowl eligible and two wins to likely guarantee a bowl berth. They have three games remaining, but the schedule is challenging.
It starts on the road against Nevada (3-7, 2-5), which the Spartans have beaten just once in the past 10 meetings. Then it's Navy (5-4) and Fresno State, both at home.
Had they not blown a 23-12 lead in the final 11 minutes Saturday night, the Spartans already would be bowl eligible, and these three games would be opportunities to polish their résumé.
A blocked field-goal attempt set up an easy touchdown that cut the SJSU lead to 23-20, and, although the Spartans answered to make it 30-20, they then allowed two scoring drives that each took fewer than three minutes. The Spartans defense got no help from their offense, which gained just 6 yards on seven plays over its final two possessions.
"I feel like we were in a good position, and then it just slipped out of our hands," linebacker Keith Smith said. "We've just got to play four quarters."

BOSTON -- Baseball promotes the liberal use of perspective, as the A's 9-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday underscored.
The loss was the A's fourth in succession, their longest losing streak in the very early stages this season, so things were not all lightness and joy in the Fenway Park visitors clubhouse. The A's hold on first place in the A.L. West is gone, as is the karma that helped them win nine of their first 11 games.
Here's the perspective part -- 20 games into the season a year ago, the A's were 10-10 and already 51/2 games out of first place. Now they are 12-8 and barely out of first.
So things are better than they were at this point a year ago, and the A's wound up winning the A.L. West in 2012.
"To not start April the way we wanted to, we've been there," right fielder Josh Reddick said. "And we came back."
Reddick is starting to come back, at least a little. Flirting with a sub-.100 batting average heading into his second at-bat Sunday against Tampa Bay, he singled home the A's only run in that one. Monday brought more of the same: an RBI single in the second inning and, two strikeouts later, an RBI double during the A's three-run eighth.
"That's something to build off of," Reddick said. "In the first at-bat I was able to stay inside on the ball and get the run home. Then in the last at-bat I was able to go the other way and keep the rally going.".
Third baseman Josh Donaldson is going through the same fight, although he is a little further along. He was batting .120 seven games into the season, but he is 16 for 49 (.327) since then to get to .264. His double set up Reddick's RBI single in the second inning, and Donaldson doubled home two runs in the eighth.
"When you get guys on base, you have to drive them in," Donaldson said. "In Tampa, we didn't do that. Tonight, we did a couple of times, not some other times. We still lost the game, we came up short, but at the end of the day we can take those at-bats into tomorrow."
The A's have struggled since the schedule took them away from A.L. West competition. They are 11-2 against the West, 1-6 against everyone else.
The A's are averaging .177 against the rest of baseball after hitting .291 against the West. A's pitchers have allowed seven innings of three or more runs -- two of them Monday -- in seven games against non-West competition.
And there was only one hit from anyone not named Josh on Monday.
The defense needs to get better, too. An error by second baseman Andy Parrino set up a decisive grand slam for Boston's Mike Napoli in the fifth inning, and an error at first base by Brandon Moss set up another run.
So it isn't just the hitting that has gone south, but the hitters are leading the way. It's up to them to lead the way back, too.
"The good thing tonight is that when we got down, we didn't just lie down," Reddick said. "Getting back in the game like that was huge."
Getting back in the win column would be, too. It would do wonders for perspective.
"Quite literally it is a dream come true," Freiman said before taking the field.

endless traffic in stasis,

You want to play with the beasts.

Radiation therapy
may be used to treat your cancer. Here is what's involved:
In external beam radiation therapy, radiation is produced by a machine called a linear accelerator. Short bursts of x-rays are directed from the machine at your cancer. The x-rays come out in a square-shaped manner. The radiation oncologist designs special blocks to shape the radiation beam so that it treats the cancer and as little normal tissue as possible.
Before treatment actually begins, your doctor will design specific treatment fields and prepare either computer programs or blocks to shape the treatment beam to fit your particular situation.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
, the side effects from radiation result from injury to the normal tissues. There are many new ways that your treatment can be customized to try to kill as much cancer while sparing as much normal tissue as possible. The radiation oncologist will determine how many treatments you will receive. Sometimes they will be once a day and sometimes twice a day. Each treatment generally only takes a few minutes. The total treatment time can range from 5-8 weeks depending on the total dose required.
Radiation therapy can be given to treat cancer at its initial site or after it has spread. In some cases, after cancer has spread, radiation is no longer curative. However, the treatments can help resolve problems that the cancer may be causing, including local pain and weakness.
Many people believe that when you have received a certain dose of radiation you can no longer get any more treatment. It is true that each tissue in the body can only safely tolerate a certain dose of radiation. However, the therapy is very focused. It is possible that you can get additional treatments to an already treated area or certainly to an area not yet treated. Ask your radiation oncologist about what dose you can safely receive.
Possible side effects include:

CINCINNATI (AP) - Ian Desmond made two errors at shortstop that helped the Cincinnati Reds send the game to extra innings, then led off the 11th with his first homer of the season to rally the Washington Nationals to a 7-6 victory Saturday.
The Nationals were coming off a 15-0 loss in the series opener, their most lopsided defeat since baseball returned to Washington in 2005. The Reds hit six homers in that one.
Washington got the better of it this time, hitting five homers to Cincinnati's one. The teams have combined for 12 homers, accounting for 20 of the 28 runs in the series.
Wilson Ramos hit two for the Nationals, including a solo shot off J.J. Hoover (0-2) in the 11th.
Desmond's errors helped the Reds rally from a 5-1 deficit.

Sacramento PsyD in Clinical Psychology Program
A Practitioner-Scholar Program
The PsyD in Clinical Psychology program in Sacramento offers doctoral education and training in clinical psychology consistent with a practitioner-scholar model. The program, designed primarily for students interested in the professional practice of clinical psychology, emphasizes clinical skills and the application of research knowledge with diverse populations in a wide range of settings.
Systemically oriented, the Sacramento Doctor of Psychology program trains students to consider the role of diverse systems in creating and/or remedying individual and social problems. While students receive an exceptional grounding in traditional clinical assessment and intervention, they also are taught to consider the potential value of advocacy, consultation, or public policy work in helping both individuals and entire groups of clients with similar problems. The Sacramento PsyD faculty is committed to offering a broad array of elective courses reflecting theory, assessment, and intervention across a variety of systems, especially across cultural systems. The importance of the cultural system is emphasized throughout students' academic and clinical training. An integral part of the mission and structure of CSPP since it began in 1999 as a satellite to the Clinical PsyD program in Fresno, the program's competencies are well aligned with the university's mission to prepare "students for professional careers of service and leadership" and to promote "the discovery and application of knowledge to improve the lives of people in diverse cultures and communities around the world."
Duration and Requirements
During the PsyD in Clinical Psychology program students are evaluated on progressive developmental stages of their training. The evaluation begins prior to admission and includes evaluation of a student's readiness for practicum training, readiness for internship and readiness for practice. The PsyD degree program requires a minimum of 90 academic units (3 years, full time) and 30 internship units (1 year, full time). Students typically advance to candidacy following their 2nd year. Requirements for advancement to candidacy include
- successful completion of 60 units of graduate study and demonstration of the following key competencies through the successful completion of the associated courses: assessment [Intellectual Assessment, Personality Assessment I & II]; diagnosis, psychological theory, and intervention [Basic Foundations of Clinical Practice I & II and 1 of the required psychotherapy courses]; and law and ethics [Introduction to Ethical Practice & Law];
- demonstration of competency in the foundational sciences through successful completion of at least 2 of the 5 Foundational Science Examinations;
- successful defense of the dissertation proposal at the Preliminary Oral Defense; and
- integrated clinical competency demonstrated by the successful completion of the Clinical Competency Progress Review (CPPR)
Students may not apply for internship until they have met all requirements for advancement to candidacy.
The California School of Professional Psychology's PsyD in Clinical Psychology program in Sacramento is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA), which requires that we provide data on time to completion, program costs, internships, attrition and licensure. Please follow the link below for that information. We hope this information will help you to make an informed decision regarding your graduate study.

Metal Band Bills Pentagon for Guantanamo Music
WASHINGTON – Canadian industrial metal band Skinny Puppy's music is aggressive, abrasive and in-your-face. But the group's founder doesn't think it should be used as a weapon of war.
Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key says he has sent the Pentagon a bill for $660,000 after being told that guards at Guantanamo Bay had used the band's music to torment prisoners.
"To some people it could be a terrible nightmare, but to others it's just a creative, artistic endeavor that sort of plays with dark writings," he told Canada's CTV News on Wednesday.
Mr. Key said the band is considering suing the Defense Department for using a Skinny Puppy song to torment detainees at the military base in Cuba.
"I am not only against the fact that they're using our music to inflict damage on somebody else, but they are also doing it without anybody's permission," Mr. Key said in the interview.
Mr. Key said he was alerted to the use of Skinny Puppy's music by a former guard at Guantanamo Bay who is also a fan of the band. Pentagon officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The U.S. has used music as a weapon of war for years.
In 1989, U.S. forces blasted heavy metal music to disorient Panama dictator Manuel Noriega before his surrender during the American invasion of his country. U.S. forces have used blaring music in detention centers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Skinny Puppy is the latest in a long line of bands to challenge the U.S. military's use of its music.
Musicians from Rage Against the Machine, Massive Attack and other groups have condemned reports that their music has been used against prisoners.
Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich called the military's use of his band's music "bizarre."
"If there are people that are dumb enough to use Metallica to interrogate prisoners, you're forgetting about all the music that's to the left of us," he said in a 2008 interview on MSNBC. "I can name, you know, 30 Norwegian death metal bands that would make Metallica sound like Simon and Garfunkel."
That same year, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine told an audience that they U.S. should level Guantanamo Bay, but keep once cell for former President George W. Bush to blast his band's music, according to the Associated Press.
