CORPUS CHRISTI – Johnathan Jordan had his second straight double-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, but Sam Houston State rallied past the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team for a 55-51 victory on Saturday at the Dugan Wellness Center. DeMarcus Gatlin had a double-double of his own for the Bearkats with 15 points and 10 boards.
No other player finished in double figures for either team. Each squad snared 33 caroms in the ballgame, but the Bearkats held the advantage at the free-throw line, going 18-for-21 at the stripe to the Islanders' 10-for-14. SHSU outscored the Islanders 28-20 in the paint, while the home squad netted 14 points off turnovers to the Bearkats' seven.
The two teams went back-and-forth early on, with the Bearkats taking a 5-4 lead on a Darius Gatson three. After that it was a string of runs, as the Islanders responded with a 6-0 run, four of the points coming at the free-throw line, to take a 10-5 lead. The Bearkats responded with a 6-0 rally of their own to regain an 11-10 lead, culminating with a pair of free throws from Paul Baxter.
That's when the Islanders went on a 10-0 run to build a nine-point lead. James King was the main catalyst, as he delivered a beautiful feed to Zane Knowles for a layup to make it 15-11. Shortly after, as the Bearkats tried to press, the Islanders broke it and King sprinted to the right wing and buried a three to make it 18-11. A Knowles turnaround shot made it 20-11.
SHSU responded with five straight points, but the Islanders had another rally in them, this one 8-2. Jordan had five points in the run, the final three coming on a traditional three-point play that made it 28-18. The Bearkats scored the last points of the half with a Terrance Motley layup to send it to the half with the home squad up 28-20.
The 'Kats came out firing on both ends after the break, using a 9-0 run – including Motley's two before the half – to make it a one-point game at 28-27. From there, the Bearkats were able to pull even on a layup by Motley that made it 31-all. After the Islanders scored four straight points, two free throws by Nathaniel Mason gave the home squad a 35-33 edge.
The Islanders then got five straight points, the final three on a triple by Cole Martinez from the left corner that left them ahead by seven. After the Islanders pushed the lead to eight on a Jordan jumper that made it 44-36 with 5:59 left, SHSU got a key three from Marquel McKinney to start a 10-3 run that made it just a one-point lead for the home squad.
A&M – Corpus Christi pushed the lead to 50-46 on a jumper by Jordan with 2:06 to play, but the Bearkats scored the game's next seven points to garner a lead they would not relinquish. Gatlin's three-point play with under a minute remaining gave the visitors their first lead since the 9:43 mark, 51-50 with 57 seconds remaining.
On the ensuing possession, the Bearkats denied the Islanders, as Gatlin blocked Nelson's attempt and Gatson hit two free throws to make it 53-50 with 30 seconds left. After an Islanders timeout, SHSU denied the three, and the Islanders had to settle for a Jordan free throw that made it 53-51 with seven seconds left. The home squad had a solid chance at a steal, as Hameed Ali trapped Gatson in the corner, but he was whistled for a foul and then Gatson finished the game off with a pair of free throws to result in the final score.
The Islanders are back in action on Thursday, as they play host to a doubleheader against Lamar at the American Bank Center. The women's game is slated for a 5 p.m. tip with the men's contest to follow at approximately 7:30. Tickets for the double-dip are available by calling 825-BALL (2255) or visiting GoIslanders.com. The game will be carried live on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX with Yannis Koutroupis on the call.

OAKLAND -- Wait, which one's the creaky and exhausted team in this second-round showdown?
Over in San Antonio, the old codger Spurs are rested, fresh and as healthy as they've been in months.
And the young go-go Warriors are ... go-going rather gingerly, right now.
Yes, a day after finishing off Denver, that was Stephen Curry limping in super-slow motion from the locker room to a media session at Warriors HQ.
"Feel great," Curry said with a smile Friday after his arduous 50-yard journey. "I'm glad we clinched this series so we can get some rest before Monday."
Some of it was for dramatic effect, I think, since we know the Warriors love their melodrama (see: David Lee comeback, Game 6).
But Curry wasn't making up the authentic bruises and sprains that the Warriors carry as accidental trophies from the Denver dust-up.
The Warriors go into Monday's Game 1 at San Antonio only days after center Andrew Bogut needed an injection for his right ankle to get through Game 6, Curry needed two for his left ankle during the series, and who knows what's up with Lee's hip.
Meanwhile, the Spurs finished off their sweep of the Lakers last Sunday, which will give them a full week of rest before facing the Warriors.
The Spurs also challenge the Warriors in many more facets than Denver did -- they shoot better and run a much better half-court offense -- and when the Spurs are fresh, they're dangerous in every category.
So this series will be about X's, O's and also Zzzzs at some point.
But the Warriors survived the aches and sprains through six wild games already; why not more?
"Matter of fact, the way Steph and Bogut played," coach Mark Jackson said, joking about their injections, "I'm thinking about getting one just to get one."
If it gets any worse, this series will be about attrition at some point; but the Warriors go into this series with plenty of earned swagger, anyway.
The Spurs are bigger and more disciplined than Denver but not unbeatable, of course, especially the longer this series goes.
"Our expectation has grown as we've gone through this playoff run," Curry said.
"Now we have the opportunity to set our sights on the Spurs, and we feel like we have a good shot to beat them through the course of a series and get to the next stage."
Hey, the Warriors clinched a series while committing an astonishing six turnovers in the last 1:37 on Thursday. What's to lose now?
Of course, the Warriors have lost their last 29 games in San Antonio, dating to the pre-Tim Duncan days.
Only part of that is on the current Warriors team, of course. But simple math says the Warriors must beat the Spurs in San Antonio at least once in this series.
The Spurs' sweep gave Duncan more downtime and point guard Tony Parker and wing Manu Ginobili extra time to rest their assorted injuries.
Those three give the Spurs an edge on the Warriors that Denver did not have -- at any point, either of those three can take over a game, and any of the trio could dominate the series.
In the Denver matchup, the Warriors always knew that Curry -- hobbled or not -- was the best player in the series, and if he took over for a stretch of any game, they probably would win.
The Warriors' biggest counter-weapon is Bogut, coming off the game of his life and the series the Warriors dreamed he could provide when they acquired him last season.
The Warriors are counting on momentum, and hoping the soreness goes away. The Spurs have the experience and the rest, and are hoping they can put away the Warriors quickly.
Because the longer this series goes, the wilder it can get, and the Warriors love the wildness. It helps them forget the pain.

The other day a friend announced that she had "broken up" with her daughter. She laughed as she said it, but there was a hint of seriousness to her words. At any rate, she was obviously upset.
"What did your daughter say about it?" I asked. I couldn't imagine a mother actually doing something like that, although I'm sure it crosses most moms' minds at least occasionally.
"Oh, I didn't tell her!" she said. "I broke up with her secretly. Besides, I don't think it's possible for a mom to break up with a child."

The other day I overheard two young women discussing relationships. From what I gathered, people their age (mid 20s) don't date the way I've always understood dating. Instead, they go through a progression of stages.
If I have this correct, first you "talk with" a person over a period of time, then you move into "hanging out." After that comes "going out" and then I think you move into "being in a relationship."
I'm so 53.

Land Trust Restrictions Get Five Year Extension CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 3 —No. 1 December, 1958 No other picture could be more appropriate of "Big Medicine" than this one. m the olden days when the Buffalo and the Indian both roamed the wide open spaces, if a white buffalo was seen by As of today the temperature is about 45 degrees above and we on the Flathead are witnessing an extended Indian summer. When a native of our old Reservation sees these good days after the beginning of a New Year, one cannot help but think we live in a great country. Our lower valleys are without snow but our high mountain peaks shoot up in the horizon dressed in white, like angels dancing high in space. Not only do we have our mountain peaks to look forward to for our scenic value, but the tourist and other interested people also appreciate our scenic values. About six miles to the west of the Mission range at the lower end of the Mission valley, lies the National Bison Range which was created in 1903. This symbolizes the conservation of our North American Buffalo. Many years ago our native buffalo did much to preserve the culture of |)ur North American Indian way of life. Today we are facing a program of preservation of wild life that may be serious because of the lack of land in our great U- S., where our population is on the upgrade. However the politicians may have played their cards right in the the Indian it signified a superstition. If one collected a dollar for every picture taken of "Big Medicine" in a year by tourists and local people a substantial amount of money could be collected. olden days in order that 18,551 acres of tribal land was acquired for the National Bison Range, at a price based on a 1904 appraisal. Nevertheless, the Bison Range has made history, especially with the colorful White Buffalo, as a sight for curous people. As this White Buffalo is the only known white buffalo in America, he is known as "Big Medicine" to many people. As confirmed by a few of these buffalo herders: there but four men left—Alex Pablo, Fred Decker, John McDonald and Jim Grinder who were the rough riders who played a great part in rounding up the buffalo that ran at large on this reservation before the opening of the reservation to allotments and homesteads. Old age has crept up on these old cowboys. Joe Allard, about 82 years young, lives in Ronan. Fred Decker has lost his baby teeth and lives in St. Ignatius. Rough treatment has caught up with Alex Pablo and John McDonald. Alex, while crossing a street in Pablo, was ac-cidently struck by a car. John McDonald was a victim of a reckless driver ?bout four years ago and received a badly broken leg while crossing a street Trust restrictions on allotted Indian lands, scheduled to expire in calendar year 1959, have been extended for an additional five years, Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton announced today. The order reverses a custom, started in 1951, of limiting such extensions to a maximum of only one year. In 1951, the then Acting Secretary was considering terminating trust status on individual Indian lands on a year-by-year basis. Each trust case would be subject to review every year. Secretary Seaton said the new order reemphasizes the Department's recently reiterated policy of taking all precautions against ending Federal supervision over Indians before they are competent to end their status as Federal wards. Last September 18 Secretary Seaton announced his position: "No Indian Tribe or group should end its relationship with the Federal Government unless such tribe or group has clearly demonstrated, first, that it understands the plan under which such a program would go forward and, second, that the tribe or group affected concurs in and supports the plan proposed." He said it was "unthinkable to me, as your Secretary of Interior, that consideration would be given to forcing upon an Indian Tribe a so-called termination plan which did not have the understanding and acceptance of a clear majority of the members affected. The General Allotment Act-of February 8, 1887, authorized allotments of land for individuals both on the reservations and on the public domain. Homesteads for Indians off-reservations were also authorized by an Act of February 28, 1891. The 1934 Indian Reorganization Act extented trust restrictions over lands of Indians who accepted the Act's provisions. Tribes and groups which were not so covered—so called "unorganized" Indians—have had their trust protection extended for varying periods, until the 1951 decision established the one-year rule. The Bureau of Indian Affairs recently recommended the longer extensions. The Bureau said it did not add up the thousands of acres covered by the new order, but that the acreage was considerable. B.H.A. in Ronan. John, at present, is in the St. Ignatius hospital, partly the results of the accident. Jim Grinder, up in his 80's stands as straight as an arrow and resides in Missoula, Montana. There are about 375 buffalo cows in the National Bison Range. It is remarkable when one thinks about it, that a full-blood Pend O'reille Indian by the name of Sam Walking Coyote in 1873 brought four buffalo calves to St. Ignatius from the Sun River area, on the east side of the Rocky mountains. It is from these four buffalo calves that the local herd was started. The herd from that foundation stock was later acquired by Charles Allard and Michel Pablo, subsequently by the Canadian authorities and later by the Conrad estate of Kalispell.

If you are trying to be a troll you are failing miserably at it. You rarely see someone who is not a warlock posting on warlock forums so much, or someone who is not a warrior expressing their opinions on warrior forums so much, you just come off as butthurt and a tryhard who has a lot of spare time in his hands.
PS: I can't play shatterplay because I'm a warlock, shatterplay consists of a mage and a shadowpriest, if you meant shadowplay warriors being nerfed (haven't seen proper nerf to hunters yet) is a good step but warlock design is so fucked up right now that I'd rather watch paint dry than to play affliction, which is also getting nerfed for some reason. Yes we might qq that our class is boring to play and at the bottom of the arena pool among monks and rogues but we discuss abilities and comps too, justifying this by saying we have been good for a long time is the most retarded thing and counterproductive to the game being balanced and makes you look even more butthurt.
A piece of advise is to stop trying to troll so much as you might end up losing your AJ access that you have recently gained. That would be a shame for the community.
My bad, meant to type MLS. Hunter nerfs will be enough. Saying that being able to hit someone for over half their health isn't good game design ISN'T "trolling". Not once did I ever say they shouldn't get compensated elsewhere. You claim you don't care what I have to say, yet you spent all that time writing that obviously disgruntled post. Stop taking things so seriously.

Tech Tip 07
Avoiding Steady-State Harmonic Resonances When Installing Capacitors
- Installing capacitors
- Capacitor fuse blowing
- High levels of harmonic distortion
- More than 20% of load is static power converters
- Capacitors resonate with system inductance
- Install capacitors as harmonic filter
- Relocate capacitor bank
- Install capacitors as harmonic filter
- Size capacitor, capacitor step sizes to avoid characteristic harmonic load currents
To operate power systems more efficiently, utilities and their customers are installing numerous capacitor banks. Many of the capacitor banks are being installed within customer's premises. This Tech Tip will review the analysis necessary to prevent steady-state harmonic resonances when installing capacitors on a utility system or inside a customer facility. Note that further investigation is required to prevent other potential problems such as capacitor transient amplification.
Calculating the resonant frequency created with a capacitor and system inductance is surprisingly simple. As shown in Equation 1, simply calculating the square root of the three phase short circuit MVA divided by the capacitor MVAR will provide the resonant harmonic, hf, for the system under study.
Consider a case where a 1200 KVAR capacitor is to be installed on a 12.47 kV system at a location where the three phase short circuit current is 2800 amps.
Resonant conditions near the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonic are often the most troublesome since these are common load currents found on the distribution system. Installing a 900 KVAR capacitor at this location would move the resonance to the 8.2nd harmonic, farther away from the characteristic harmonic load currents.
Consider a case where installing 600 KVAR capacitors in a customer facility is necessary to improve the customer's power factor to 95%. The capacitor will be switched in four steps of 150 KVAR each. The three phase short circuit current is 18000 amps at 480 volts.
Resonance calculation steps (600 KVAR energized):
Installing these capacitors could cause resonance problems if the customer has six pulse rectifier loads (adjustable speed drives, arc furnaces, etc.) These loads require significant 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonic currents. With 600 KVAR energized, the 5th harmonic load current would resonate with the system inductance and 480 volt capacitor. With two steps on-line (300 KVAR), the 7th harmonic current would resonate with the system inductance and 480 volt capacitor. Installing these capacitors as a harmonic filter or altering the amount of capacitance would be viable alternatives.

Teenage 'LSD Party' Ends Really, Really Badly
Posted October 1st, 2013 @ 12:57pm by Kate Seamons, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – There are destructive teen parties where kidspunch holes in the walls ... and then there are ones like the one that was broken up in Mill Valley, California, on Sunday morning. It sounds, quite frankly, nuts: Paramedics showed up at the house around 7:30am in response to reports of a seizure, and were promptly attacked by a 16-year-old boy described as having "superhuman strength," reports theMarin Independent Journal. He was covered in blood and reportedly on LSD, according to a lieutenant with the Marin County sheriff's office, who calls it an "LSD party gone bad."

...In Iceland, that is. Former Prime Minister Geir Haarde is on trial for negligence over the 2008 financial collapse. From the BBC:
He is accused of being negligent because he had not ensured financial safeguards were in place. He pleaded not guilty.
The former premier says he was only doing what he thought was best for the country at the time.
"I reject all accusations, and believe there is no basis for them," Mr Haarde told the court as he took the stand.
Not bad for what Michael Lewis calls a bunch of elf-worshipping, incestuous fishmongers.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team (4-11, 0-2) took the early lead, but saw it quickly evaporate as the UTSA Roadrunners (5-10, 1-1) notched their first Southland Conference win of the season, 58-38, on Wednesday night at the American Bank Center.
Brandi Huff led the Islanders with eight points and Myeisha Myles pulled down a team-high 10 rebounds. Imani Dunn and Damequia Montgomery added five points each.
The Roadrunners were paced by three players in double-figure scoring. Whitney Wright and Judy Jones led all scorers with 12 points apiece while Ashley Spaletta added 11 points. Jones led the boards with 14 and Wright chipped in nine. The Roadrunners edged the Islanders on the boards 47-45 and scored 28 of their 58 points in the paint.
The Islanders jumped out to a 7-1 lead with baskets from Zoe Vega-Vega and Dunn before the Roadrunners answered with a 21-3 run. UTSA's Spaletta hit back-to-back threes to start the run and Jones added a layup and three-pointer to give the Roadrunners their first lead of the game.
UTSA hit three more baskets and Kamra King added a free throw to extend the lead to 22-10 with nine minutes left in the half. Verne'qua Taylor and Dunn added buckets to halt the run to bring the Islanders within eight at the 7:30 mark.
The Islanders and Roadrunners traded baskets back-and-forth before Huff hit her third three-pointer of the season. Ashley Gardner answered with her first three of the game to push the lead to 10 with less than three minutes left in the half. Spaletta hit her third shot from downtown to give the Roadrunners a 33-19 halftime lead.
Dunn led the Islanders at the half with five points and four rebounds and Myles chipped in four points and led the Islanders on the glass with five boards. The Roadrunners notched the 26-24 advantage on the boards and 17 of their 33 points came from the bench. Spaletta led all scorers at the half with nine points on 3-of-5 shooting from the field and from behind the arc. Jones added eight points and five rebounds.
Vega-Vega's jumper started things off for the Islanders out of the locker room, but the Roadrunners answered with three points before the two teams traded baskets. The Islanders cut the lead to seven with less than 12 minutes to play behind a 9-0 run. Alisa Roberts triggered her first three of the game and the second three-pointer of the game for the Islanders, while Huff's back-to-back layups and two free throws by Damequia Montgomery cut UTSA's lead to 39-32.
The two teams traded buckets before the Roadrunners put together a 10-1 run to extend the lead to 50-35 with less than four minutes left to play. Jammer's jumper stopped the run with the Islanders trailing by 14, but it wasn't enough as the Roadrunners finished on a 7-2 run to end the game.
The Islanders will continue conference action at home on Saturday, Jan. 14, when they face Southeastern Louisiana at the American Bank Center. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

The .40-caliber bullets tore into Gary King Jr.'s upper back as he ran from a violent struggle with Oakland police Sgt. Patrick Gonzales. They severed his aorta, sending him sprawling face-first onto the asphalt of Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
Several of King's friends watched in shock as Gonzales bent over King, 20, and cuffed his hands behind his back as he lay dying that late summer day in 2007. Last week, after months of inquiries from this newspaper, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office finally issued a report on King's death that clears Gonzales of any criminal wrongdoing but leaves some key questions about the deadly encounter unanswered.
Too often, even with Oakland police under unprecedented scrutiny, the public rarely learns what happened when people die at the hands of its officers.
Court-appointed federal watchdogs for years have criticized Oakland police for questionable shootings and a culture of failing to thoroughly investigate them.
Police brass can't account for all the shootings since 2000. But an extensive review by this newspaper of police reports, District Attorney's Office files, civil lawsuits and news accounts shows alarming patterns despite the repeated warnings: two dozen officers involved in multiple shootings; at least 19 unarmed people shot; harmless items mistaken for weapons; and nearly $10 million in legal settlements.
"Some of these shootings are travesties," said James Chanin, a Berkeley civil rights attorney at the center of the infamous police brutality case known as Riders, which led to a decade of federal monitoring of the department and mandated reforms.
Life-or-death choices
In a city overwhelmed by rampant violence, police stress they sometimes have little choice but to defend themselves with deadly force.
"The folks we are dealing with out in the street have no regard for human life and certainly have no respect or regard for law enforcement," said police Chief Howard Jordan, insisting that officers are constantly training to handle violent threats safely.
Last month, Jordan quickly acknowledged that the shooting of a 16-year-old boy mistaken for an armed robbery suspect was "unfortunate for all involved."
Officer Bryan Clifford's ¿bullet only grazed Frenswa Raynor's face, but it echoed a persistent concern.
Experts who reviewed the newspaper's findings and a newly obtained internal investigation of the King shooting said they raise serious questions about training, character and accountability.
The newspaper's review of police shootings since 2000 found:
In 2005 and 2006, federal monitors slammed the department for weak internal affairs probes of shootings. And little has changed since. A report in October found: "In most cases, the investigator appears predisposed to the position that the shooting is justified, and then subtly or overtly sets out to prove that premise," wrote Robert Warshaw, the federal monitor and a former White House associate drug czar.
His latest report, released Monday, pointed to an overall "slight improvement" on reforms, but expressed concerns with "how the department is addressing the serious issue of pointing firearms" in circumstances that "may not only be unnecessary and inappropriate, but which also elevates the risk for unfortunate and unjustified" shootings.
And on Wednesday, former Baltimore Police Commissioner Thomas Frazier, recently appointed to force change at the Oakland department, issued his plan, noting he hoped to reduce the number of times officers shot someone in response to a "furtive movement" or when "a gun was thought to be seen."
The newspaper's review found the death of Gary King Jr. underscored years of concerns, even though King's own actions increased his risk. He fought back when Gonzales tried to detain him, and had an illegal handgun stuffed in his pants, though he never drew it. Still, experts who reviewed the case for the newspaper strongly suggested that authorities re-examine King's death. King's family -- who sued the city over the shooting and won a $1.5 million settlement -- has been saying that for years.
Suspect's dreadlocks
As Sgt. Patrick Gonzales cruised North Oakland alone in the late afternoon of Sept. 20, 2007, he kept an eye out for a murder suspect with dreadlocks. That person turned out to be Kevin Duarte, 22, who was eventually arrested, convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Gary King Jr. bore a striking resemblance to the wanted man, but King was no killer; police records show he'd been arrested in 2005 for driving a stolen car in a case that was later dismissed. Still, Gary King Sr. always worried about his oldest son's long dreadlocks and baggy jeans. Don't give cops reasons to think you're a hoodlum, the owner of a drywall company used to tell his son.
"Every black parent tells their kids how to deal with the Police Department," Gary King Sr. said. "You have to do what they tell you. You never confront them, even when you're right. That's how you survive."
Yet the son did things his own way -- like getting a gun after he was beaten up and robbed earlier that summer. That .32-caliber revolver was in such poor shape it needed to be hand-cocked and required triple the normal pressure on the trigger to fire, documents show.
That afternoon, he left his parents' home and headed to a nearby liquor store to grab a soda, tucking the Smith & Wesson into the basketball shorts he wore under his jeans.
With two shootings already on his record, Gonzales had a growing reputation as an aggressive cop, said attorney David Kelvin, who represented Ameir Rollins, a teen who claimed he had just dropped a gun when Gonzales shot him through the throat in June 2006. The city later paid Rollins $100,000 to settle a lawsuit. In 2000, a man told investigators Gonzales punched him when he objected to being publicly strip-searched, then told him the reason he hit him was "because I can.'' In 2002, Gonzales and Officer Rudy Villegas killed a man whom they say pointed a loaded shotgun at police.
Last week's report from the District Attorney's Office said Gonzales was justified in both of those shootings. On Sept. 20, 2007, he encountered Gary King Jr.
The struggle
Gonzales and officers union President Barry Donelan did not respond to repeated requests to be interviewed about what happened that afternoon, and Oakland police will not speak about specific cases. But Gonzales' account is revealed in court and internal police records.
Shortly after 4 p.m., Gonzales saw King outside East Bay Liquors. Thinking he might be the murder suspect, he asked to see ID. King didn't have any.
A surveillance video from the store shows Gonzales taking a bag of chips from King's hand, then bending his right arm behind his back.
King tried to run, but Gonzales pulled him to the ground. Both men scrambled to their feet and locked arms, wrestling so violently that Gonzales ripped one of King's dreadlocks from his scalp.
Gonzales shocked King with a Taser stun gun, but King broke free and started to run. That's when Gonzales drew his pistol and fired twice.
The police story shaped up quickly: Gonzales had tried to detain a man who looked like a wanted killer. After a violent struggle, the officer, fearing for his life, shot him.
During a 65-minute interview with investigators, Gonzales said repeatedly that he had felt King's gun in his pants during the fight, a transcript shows. "I knew he was reaching for a gun ... now I am fearing (for) my life knowing that he is going to pull the gun out and try to shoot me."
King spun around, reaching into his pants, "looking directly at me," Gonzales said. "I immediately pulled my firearm" and shot.
The District Attorney Office's report last week said, "King attempted more than once to get his loaded gun out of his pants" -- a finding based on interviews with Gonzales but disputed by other witnesses.
A close examination of police and coroner's reports, court depositions and an internal affairs report raise significant questions about Gonzales' account. The documents also reflect many of the federal monitors' concerns about probes of officer-involved shootings. They showed:
Further investigation, though, revealed that King hadn't drawn a gun. The revolver was still tucked in his basketball shorts as he lay dying.
But that same night, Officer Richard Coglio, the first cop who responded after the shooting, wrote a different version of events in a police report. Coglio said he was the one to search King, after Gonzales directed him to begin CPR.
"I conducted a search of King's waistband and pockets. ... I felt the handle and cylinder of a revolver. I advised Sgt. Gonzales," Coglio wrote in a report. Eventually, he repeated that story in a deposition after King's parents sued police.
Coglio testified that Gonzales never warned him that King was armed.
The difference in the two accounts "is just huge," said LaDoris Cordell, San Jose's independent police monitor and a retired Santa Clara County Superior Court judge who reviewed the case for the newspaper.
She said the discrepancy calls into question whether Gonzales knew King had a gun when he shot him. As a firearms instructor, Gonzales would have known to warn Coglio if he believed Coglio was approaching an armed man, Cordell said.
"There's no way the officer on the ground can know the status of that weapon. Is it ready to discharge? If (the person) moves, is it going to go off?"
Hoppenhauer testified in a deposition that she read Coglio's report but didn't interview him about it. "I don't think (there's) a discrepancy," she said.
However, another expert disagreed. Hoppenhauer either "didn't see or didn't look for the contradictions, or if (she) did come across them, (she) didn't use them and didn't ask the right follow-up questions," said University of Nebraska criminologist Sam Walker.
But Hoppenhauer relied primarily on a witness who described King reaching to his waist. In a deposition, however, that witness admitted to being a heavy marijuana user who struggled to differentiate reality from dreams and was lighting a joint when she saw the shooting.
Later, in a deposition for the Kings' lawsuit, Hoppenhauer testified that witness provided the best corroboration to Gonzales' story but that she didn't know of the woman's drug and mental health problems.
Shortly after Hoppenhauer's testimony, Oakland agreed to pay King family's $1.5 million to end the lawsuit. Gonzales, by then, was back on the street.
In 2009, he became a hero on one of the bloodiest days in the history of the Oakland Police Department: Gonzales fired the fatal shots during a gunfight with parole violator Lovelle Mixon who had already killed four officers.
Inherent danger is a reality every day for Oakland police, Jordan said. "It's easy for someone to analyze a case much later and form an opinion. Whether someone is armed or not armed, it is the perception of the (officer's) life being in danger."
Still, the pressure is on Oakland police with a federal judge considering even tighter control.
"We deserve criticism of some officer-involved shootings," Bolton, Jordan's chief of staff, said, declining to be specific because of laws sealing police personnel records. Still, he insisted perceptions that police are callous about shootings "are far removed from the truth."
Proving that to the public, however, is essential, Cordell said.
"The best way," she said, "to destroy any trust that might be building between police and community is to keep everything private, secret and sealed."

You see, as I was reading over a recipe for potatoes au gratin that I'd found in the booklet enclosed with my Cuisinart, I knew immediately that 60 ounces of potatoes was going to yield much, much more than the six servings that was stated. So I immediately cut the potato amount back to two pounds. I could have cut it back even more because as you can see by the photo below, two pounds of potatoes made approximately 8 servings, four individual 1-cup servings and a separate 4-serving casserole as well.
So see? I figured out all the details for you. Unless you want to eat au gratin potatoes until the cows come home, you'll be happier with this adapted recipe. These really were tasty potatoes and I love that there's no butter in them. The richness comes from the cheese, whole milk and half & half which have their own amounts of fat of course, but when spread out among eight servings, we're still only talking a little over eight grams of fat per generous 1-cup serving. Not too terribly bad for a very rich tasting potato dish.
Potatoes Au Gratin
3 ounces Gruyere cheese
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small mild onion, peeled and quartered
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut flat at ends
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup half & half
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 8 ramekins or 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Insert shredding disc into food processor and shred cheese. Remove from processor to separate bowl.

New York activists are planning a party of their own on Saturday with a "celebration" of Thatcher's death at a Brooklyn Irish bar.
John McDonagh, co-host of the dissident New York-based Saturday talkshow Radio Free Eireann, noticed that a carnival-like atmosphere erupted among hardline Republicans after news of Thatcher's passing. So many called celebrating that a party marking her passing is planned for Saturday in Brooklyn.
"From the moment her death was announced on Monday morning my phone has been ringing off the hook. I'm receiving multiple texts and emails and they're all asking one thing: where will the party be held?" McDonagh said.
McDonagh's Radio Free Eireann website has had a Thatcher deathwatch clock posted for five years.
"You know we almost gave up, because we thought she was like Kissinger and would never die. We thought she had made a pact with the devil and would be preserved forever," he said.
Responding to the deluge of requests, McDonagh announced what he calls an Irish wake "to celebrate the end of Thatcher's life" at Rocky Sullivan's in Red Hook, Brooklyn on Saturday, April 13, from 3-6 p.m.
"I've just come off the phone with musician and publican Chris Byrne and we're coming up with a program for a couple of hours to reminisce about the horror of her life and legacy," McDonagh says. He's expecting a packed house"If you look at the Internet and you see what's happening on the Falls Road in Belfast and in Derry and in Britain too, parties are erupting. Streets are being blocked and champagne is being corked. You don't get that when a beloved leader has passed," McDonagh told the Irish Voice.
Irish Americans in New York in particular felt her policies, McDonagh claimed.
"At one stage, I recall, she tried to stop the NYPD Emerald Pipe Band from marching at a rally for the hunger strikers in Bundoran in Donegal. She contacted Ronald Reagan to put a stop to it," he said.
Thatcher also banned activist lawyer Martin Galvin from Irish Northern Aid from speaking in the six counties in the 1980s, McDonagh said.
"I was over there for that rally where the IRA snuck him in to Belfast and during it plastic bullets were shot at us. Sean Downes was shot dead during the internment commemoration rally in 1984," McDonagh recalls.
"Father Maurice Burke from Staten Island gave him last rights at the scene. So there was a real connection between her polices in Northern Ireland and Irish America."
On another occasion, McDonagh and fellow activist Brian Moore rented a billboard in Times Square in support of IRA prisoners in England, Ireland and America. Thatcher responded by bluntly questioning the American ambassador to Britain to find out who had erected it and why it had been permitted..
After Margaret Thatcher, 87, credited as the most divisive British leader in modern times, passed away on Monday morning many Irish Americans rejoiced.
But even in death her conflict-ridden legacy was still on full public view as street parties featuring champagne and cake erupted in parts of the U.K. and in Nationalist areas of the North on Monday evening.
To the majority of Irish American leaders, Thatcher's utter intransigence over her 11 years as prime minister of Britain prolonged the war in the North, even as her policies tore her own society apart.
From the day she took office, critics contend, Thatcher waged an endless war on Irish Republicans. It's a legacy that still rankles even two and half decades after it abruptly came to an end.
Long Island Congressman Peter King, who has been heavily involved in Irish Republican politics in the North since the 1970s, told the Irish Voice on Tuesday, "I have to compartmentalize my response to her legacy. I think she did an outstanding job with her overall foreign policy in regard to the Soviet Union for example, but I strongly disagreed with her policies in Northern Ireland. She had a blind spot there."
By way of analogy, King cites Winston Churchill, who was a great British leader in World War II but who had a blind spot when it came to India.

|Route climbed: South Slope from the Valley
Date Climbed: May 20, 2006
|After backing off our trip plans to do Bloody Mountain due to weather conditions two of us headed for Yosemite instead. We decided on a whim to hike to the top of Clouds Rest from the Valley on Saturday morning. We started a bit late, so we arrived at the summit around 3. This is the time of year to hike this peak. You get the most amazing waterfalls, views of the snow covered peaks, and there aren't many folks around. We were the only ones on the summit and only saw about 10 people total after leaving the JMT. We had the summit to ourselves on this amazing day. The view is much better than from Half Dome. We were on snow for the last 1000 feet or so.

|Wanted this for a long time, but illness & traffic stopped me. Feeling so-so(?), I left SJC, CA again at 2:00a and hit Tenaya trailhead by 6:45a. With recent illness, didn't know if I would need to camp -- so I backpacked (not u-light) to summit by noon -- filmed, lunched and drank it all in by 1:30p -- dragged back into TenayaLk by 6:30p. A 3 hour nap, and the drive home closed out the 24 hr loop extraordinaire!

| This was a fun hike. It was not too difficult, but I would not say it was completely easy. My brother and I reached the summit in about 2 1/2 hours. We had the summit all to our selves for about 30 minutes since we were early enough in the morning. As we headed back down we past maybe a dozen or more hikers, but about half of them were just going to the Sunrise Lakes area. We stopped by Whoa Nelly Deli for fish tacos and headed home.
Oh yeah, there is a squirrel/chipmunk up there that likes to scavenge for food. Watch your backpacks as he knows exactly where the food is and he is not afraid of humans. His name is "Paco".

|Fun hike with my brother Brian to an impressive viewpoint. Saw evidence of a huge flash flood the day before that required several people to be rescued - wow! The meadows and creeks were unusually wet for July. We hiked fast due to a late start, but were still up and back in a little over 5 hours, leaving time for a refreshing swim in Tanaya Lake.

|A bit warm but otherwise a great day, It was very crowded at the summit. There musty have been two dozen people up there. There were also quite a few backpackers along the way, including a group of 6 from London who left the day after the bombing and wondered if they were going to get their Yosemite trip in, Most were headed for Sunrise Lakes.

It was the most competitive Oscar race in recent memory, one loaded with twists and turns.
In the end, though, it was "Argo," which started out as front-runner, slid to also-ran and then staged a huge, late comeback, that was presented the Academy Award for best picture Sunday night by Michelle Obama, who did the honors via streaming video from the White House.
The film -- a thriller based on the true story of American hostages who were spirited out of Iran by a CIA team pretending to be filmmakers -- is the first since 1989's "Driving Miss Daisy" to win the top prize without its director being nominated. Ben Affleck was unexpectedly, and inexplicably, left out of the best director field when the nominations were announced in January. Initially that led many observers to discount "Argo" as a strong contender.
Ironically, the snub had the opposite effect, triggering a wave of sympathy that "Argo" rode to eventual victory. "There are eight great films that have every right, as much a right to be up here as we do," Affleck said of the other best-picture nominees.
Indeed, as befitting a year when there were an unusually large number of high-quality films in contention, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences voters spread the love around in a big way with "Argo," "Les Miserables," "Skyfall," "Lincoln" and "Life of Pi" all getting multiple awards.
They delivered some serious diss to one-time front-runners "Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty." "Lincoln," which had the most nominations with 12, took home just two: best actor and production design. Steven Spielberg, who had been the odds-on favorite to win best director, lost out to Ang Lee ("Life of Pi") in the night's biggest upset, while scriptwriter Tony Kushner, also a favorite, lost the best adapted screenplay to Chris Terrio of "Argo."
"Zero Dark Thirty," which had lost traction in the Oscar race after its depiction of the search for Osama bin Laden was criticized for its accuracy, shared the sound editing award with "Skyfall." (It was only the sixth tie in Academy history.)
There was less drama in the top acting categories.
Daniel Day-Lewis snagged the prize for his imposing portrayal of the 16th president in "Lincoln." The victory makes Day-Lewis the first to win best actor three times. Since 1989's "My Left Foot," Day-Lewis -- a very selective actor -- has made just 11 movies, being nominated for best actor for five and winning three: "Left Foot," 2007's "There Will Be Blood" and now "Lincoln."
Jennifer Lawrence scored her first Oscar win in her second nomination, for the dark comedy "Silver Linings Playbook." At age 22, she becomes the second-youngest woman to win best actress, behind Marlee Matlin, who was 21 when she won for "Children of a Lesser God."
Lawrence -- who had gotten a reputation for the unpredictable during the awards season -- was so eager to make it onstage that she tripped on her way. "You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell," said Lawrence as the audience gave her a standing ovation.
In the most unpredictable category of the night, Christoph Waltz won his second best supporting actor award for his performance as a genteel bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." He really owes director Tarantino since his first victory was for the director's "Inglourious Basterds."
"Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry," Waltz said of Tarantino who won the Oscar for best original screenplay for "Django."
To the shock of almost no one including her fellow nominees, Anne Hathaway -- Fantine in "Les Miserables" -- took best supporting actress.
Michael Haneke's extraordinary contemplation of love, aging and death, "Amour," had unexpectedly been nominated for four Oscars but won only best foreign language film. In something of a surprise, Pixar's "Brave" took home the best animated feature award, beating out pre-ceremony favorite "Wreck-It Ralph" and such high-quality contenders as "ParaNorman" and Tim Burton's "Frankenweenie."
Malik Bendjelloul's popular "Searching for Sugar Man" -- the quest to discover the fate of Sixto Rodriguez, an all-but-forgotten American singer-songwriter who became an icon in South Africa -- grabbed the best documentary prize.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< 1.1 A summary of the main...
The parties
1.4 David Irving, the Claimant, embarked on his career as an author in the early 1960s shortly after he left Imperial College London. He is the author of over 30 books, most of which are concerned with the events of and leading up to the Second World War (some of which were written and published in Germany). Amongst the better known titles are The Destruction of Dresden, Hitler's War (1977 and 1991 editions), Goebbels ... Mastermind of the Third Reich, Goering ... a Biography and Nuremberg ... The Last Battle.
1.5 As these titles suggest, Irving has specialised in the history of the Third Reich. He describes himself as an expert in the principal Nazi leaders (although in his opening he was at pains to make clear that he does not regard himself as an historian of the Holocaust). Many of his works have been published by houses of the highest standing and have attracted favourable reviews. It is beyond dispute that over the years (Irving is now aged 62), he has devoted an enormous amount of time to researching and chronicling the history of the Third Reich. The books themselves are eloquent testimony to his industry and diligence.
1.6 Apart from his books Irving has written numerous articles and, particularly in recent years, lectured and spoken both in Europe and the Americas and participated in numerous radio and television broadcasts. He emphasises that his reputation as an historian is founded upon his output of books.
1.7 As to his political beliefs, he describes himself as a Conservative with laissez-faire views. He mentions that he has not applauded the uncontrolled tide of Commonwealth immigration.
1.8 The 2nd Defendant, Deborah Lipstadt, lives and works in the United States. She was raised in a traditional Jewish home (her parents having migrated from Germany and Poland). She attended City College of New York and spent a year at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where she took a series of courses on the history of the Holocaust, subsequently staying on for a further year. On her return to the United States she completed an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Jewish Studies.
1.9 Since then Lipstadt has pursued an academic career teaching modern Jewish history with an emphasis on the Holocaust. In 1993 she moved to Emory University, a research institution in Atlanta, Georgia, where she is Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies. She has written two books about the responses to the Holocaust, Beyond Belief: the American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933-1945 and the book which has given rise to the present action, Denying the Holocaust. The latter was published by Penguin Books in an American edition and thereafter in an English paperback edition.
1.10 I should for the sake of completeness add that initially a number of individuals were joined as additional Defendants. The action is not pursued against them.

What Obamacare Coverage Costs Congressmen
By Rebecca Ballhaus and Louise Radnofsky
Some members of Congress are about to get their own kind of sticker shock when they head to the new insurance exchanges. A few will get a price cut. As the Journal has reported, a provision in the health law requires lawmakers to get their benefits alongside small-business employees for the first time, and that means lawmakers' premiums will suddenly be tied to their age.
Members of Congress used to pay the same rate, regardless of how old they were, which was around $186 a month to cover just themselves on one popular plan after their employer (in this case, the federal government) kicked in a 75% contribution. They paid more –$434 – for a family plan, which covered a spouse and any number of children.
Now they will be keeping the employer contribution, despite the efforts of some critics. But lawmakers in their 50s and 60s are still likely to see a significant jump in what they have to pay, both because of their age, and because the contribution maxes out at a certain point. They also have to pay more for adding up to three children. (There is no extra charge for more than three children.)
Meanwhile, some younger representatives are about to see a decrease in their premiums. And some politicians, fearing accusations that they are getting a special deal, have declared they are passing up any kind of employer contribution towards the cost of their coverage and going it alone instead. That comes with its own price tag.
Here's what's happening to a selection of senators and representatives, with a look at the plans available to them.
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.)
Ms. Cantwell, 55 years old, will be signing up for coverage through the D.C. exchange, her office said. Her monthly premium for self-only coverage if she were to choose the popular CareFirst plan would be $696. With the federal government paying $426, that would leave her with a bill of $270 a month.
Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas)
Mr. Cornyn, 61 years old, has said he will enroll to cover himself through the exchange in his home state of Texas rather than take the congressional benefits. The least-expensive coverage for a 61-year-old nonsmoker in Austin that is at a comparable level to the benefits he would have received costs $516 a month without subsidies, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of premiums data.
(You can see other findings from that analysis on our Exchange Explorer here.)
Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Illinois)
Mr. Durbin, 69 years old, will be getting coverage for himself and his wife Loretta through the D.C. exchange, his office said. For one popular CareFirst plan, the monthly premium for the couple is $1,750 a month, of which the federal government would pay a maximum of $948, leaving them to pay $802.
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.)
Ms. Landrieu, 58, is facing a tough re-election bid next year, and expects the health law to be a key issue. She has announced that she, together with her husband and two children will forgo the congressional benefits offered to her, and instead will enroll for a family plan on the exchange the federal government is running on behalf of Louisiana, where they will not qualify for any subsidies towards their premiums. The least expensive plan comparable to a congressional plan on sale in New Orleans for a family like Ms. Landrieu's would cost $1,774 a month without subsidies, according to The Wall Street Journal's analysis of premiums data.
Rep. John Boehner (R., Ohio)
Mr. Boehner, 64, enrolled in the D.C. exchange Nov. 21. "Tried signing up for #Obamacare today. How'd it go? Hint: #trainwreck," he tweeted that day, linking to a blog post that features pictures of a frustrated-looking Mr. Boehner staring at a computer screen. Despite his apparent glumness, he was able to enroll within hours.
After receiving an "internal server error" screen after inputting his information, he called the DC Health Link help line and was able to successfully sign up later that afternoon. Mr. Boehner's office said that he and his wife currently have a monthly premium of $433 from Blue Cross Blue Shield, with a $700 deductible. His wife will qualify for Medicare next month, for which she will pay separate premiums. Mr. Boehner, meanwhile, signed up for an individual plan with a $1,000 deductible. It has an overall premium of $875, of which the federal government will pay $426 and he will pay $449.
Rep. Paul Ryan, (R., Wis.)
Mr. Ryan, 43, and his family of three young children and wife Janna, will be signing up for coverage through the D.C. exchange, his office said. If they pick the popular CareFirst plan, they will be looking at a monthly premium of $1,681, of which the federal government will pay $948. That leaves them with a monthly bill of $733.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.)
Premiums in the CareFirst plan don't increase after the age of 61, so Mrs. Pelosi, 73, and other older lawmakers don't fare any worse than their slightly more junior counterparts. Mrs. Pelosi is only signing up herself, her office said, so if she opts for the CareFirst plan too, she would be looking at the same premium as John Boehner's — $875, of which the federal government will pay $426 and she will pay$449.
Rep. Patrick Murphy (D., Fla.)
Mr. Murphy, at 30 years old, is the youngest member of the House. He will be going on the D.C. exchange to get his coverage, but will be turning down the employer contribution. Even without the subsidy, his plan will be cheaper than many of his colleagues'. The premium for a 30-year-old getting the popular CareFirst plan is $313 a month. If he had taken the contribution, he'd have paid only $78.
Rep. David Valadao (R., Calif.)
Mr. Valadao, 36, is still a managing partner of Valadao Dairy, and will continue to get his insurance through the company, so he's not taking the congressional plan at all, his office said. His office wouldn't immediately confirm how much the premiums for that plan are, or what share of them he pays.

Cal's neutral-site season opener against Fresno State at Candlestick Park is beginning to look like a Bulldogs home game.
According to the latest figures, Fresno State's ticket office has sold 12,000 tickets whereas Cal has sold only 7,500. It's harder to keep tabs on tickets sold through other outlets such as StubHub, but Bulldogs fans seem to be scooping up tickets at a much brisker rate than Cal enthusiasts.
"In general, I think everyone is having a little more of a challenge selling tickets than we had hoped," Cal associate athletic director Matt Terwilliger said. "We are really hoping that volume picks up. We typically see a surge toward the end."
Cal and Fresno State teamed up with two independent promoters to put on the game. Each school gets a revenue guarantee based on a predetermined allotment of tickets sold. The promoter keeps all the other operating revenue for the event.
To receive its guarantee of $1,050,000, Cal must sell tickets totaling a revenue of $637,500. Terwilliger said the school is still $175,000 short of meeting that goal.
Fresno State's agreement required it to sell 10,000 tickets, which it did easily. That earned the school $900,000 up front.
To meet the revenue requirements, only tickets sold through Cal's athletic ticket office count.
Cal's lagging sales prompted athletic director Sandy Barbour to send a mass email to supporters last week, imploring them not only to buy tickets but also to make sure they buy them through Cal.
"I am challenging our Cal community to surpass Fresno State for fan support in attendance and tickets sold," Barbour wrote in the email. "I just can't imagine that our community would allow Fresno to come to the Bay Area and outnumber us at Candlestick Park on Sept. 3. I know we won't let that be the case."
Cal coach Jeff Tedford is a former Fresno State quarterback and offensive coordinator. He said Cal fans "have been a large part of our success" and hopes Bulldogs fans won't make up the majority of the crowd.
"When you have a game in your backyard, you would hope that your fans would at least match the support of the other team," Tedford said. "I hope as it gets closer to the game our fans come out and create an environment for us that is at least neutral."
