Here is how the 49ers (8-3-1) graded in their 16-13 overtime loss to the host St. Louis Rams (5-6-1):
Colin Kaepernick's hand started off hot, completing nine consecutive passes after an initial drop. The Rams' blitzes paid off on two plays starting at the 17-yard line. On the first, Kaepernick retreated too much into the end zone and drew an intentional-grounding penalty for a safety. In evil symmetry, Kaepernick's botched pitch play to Ted Ginn Jr. also started at the 49ers' 17. Only two catches for 15 yards for Vernon Davis? Michael Crabtree came through on third downs, again, and Mario Manningham's shoulder injury is a concern.
Grade: C
Needing to run down the clock and play safe, the 49ers got too cute with a third-down option pitch to Ginn that resulted in the Rams' tying touchdown. Frank Gore averaged a season-low 2.5 yards per carry (23 attempts, 58 yards), and he had an early 16-yard run negated by a Joe Staley holding penalty. Kendall Hunter's absence was noticeable. Kaepernick said his 50-yard, fourth-quarter sprint was improvised, and coach Jim Harbaugh said it was a designed run.
Grade: C-
None of Sam Bradford's 39 attempts were intercepted, and he got sacked only twice. Tarell Brown had tight coverage on a fourth-down pass into the end zone, and Chris Culliver broke up a third-down pass.
Grade: B-
Steven Jackson ran for only 48 yards, but 16 came on three carries that set up Greg Zuerlein's winning field goal. Sam Bradford also found room to run for 25 yards on fourth-quarter scrambles that led to the tying field goal.
Grade: B
David Akers is converting a career-low 70 percent of his field goals (21 of 30) and his latest miss cost the 49ers a victory, as was the case three weeks ago in overtime against the Rams. Four of Andy Lee's punts landed inside the 20, and his veteran value showed again when the Rams' rookie punter shanked a 14-yarder in overtime.
Grade: D
The worst play call of the Harbaugh era resulted in Kaepernick's errant pitch to Ginn and a game-changing play. Harbaugh acknowledged it was too risky a call and deflected blame to himself instead of Kaepernick, whom he's apparently sticking with over Alex Smith. Several players said the Rams' defense constantly had the right call to combat the 49ers' schemes.
Grade: D-

Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS) is an inherited disorder of the immune system that affects both children and adults. In ALPS and related disorders with defective cell kill and proliferation pathways, unusually high numbers of white blood cells, called lymphocytes, accumulate in the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen, which can lead to enlargement of these organs. ALPS can also cause a variety of autoimmune problems such as anemia (low red blood cell count), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), and neutropenia (low neutrophil count). Lymphocytes infiltrating the bone marrow, lungs, liver, and brain can also lead to clinical symptoms. The ALPS Unit aims to better understand these rare diseases of lymphocyte apoptosis and immune homoeostasis, to find their genetic causes, and to uncover new ways to treat them. Its ultimate goal is to find a cure for these disorders of the immune system.

- Powerball: Milpitas store bucks long odds, basks in afterglow of issuing $425 million jackpot, winner remains a mystery
- California store that sold $425M lotto gets $1M

- Powerball winning numbers, Feb. 19
- May 18:
- Powerball: California's lucky lottery outlets include 7-Elevens, Bay Area stores
GROWING INTO RECORD TERRITORY: The estimated $400 million jackpot is the sixth-largest in U.S. lottery history. Impressive, but it may not hold that record in a few years ... or even a few months. More than half of the 10 largest lottery jackpots have been reached since 2012. That's because major game changes to Powerball and Mega Millions have created larger jackpots in shorter periods of time. So if it seems like we were all just talking about the large, growing jackpot, it's because we were.
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING: Each drawing without a winner rolls the jackpot over and makes it more lucrative. The current jackpot began its ascent at the end of 2013. That means it's rolled over more than a dozen times without a top prize winner. If no one strikes it big on Wednesday, the jackpot only gets bigger.
LET'S SAY YOU WIN: Hold off on that beachfront mansion. Financial experts agree that you should forgo large vanity purchases and instead set up annuities and long-term trusts for descendants.
YOU COULD BE A WINNER EVEN IF YOU DON'T WIN THE JACKPOT: You don't have the main Powerball number on your ticket? Don't fret and keep your eyes on those other five numbers. Match those and you could win a $1 million secondary prize or a $2 million secondary "Power Play" prize if you paid an extra dollar when you bought the ticket. More than 1,000 ticketholders have won these secondary prizes since 2012. Not a bad deal.
BUT REALLY, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN: Odds of winning it all are about 1-in-175 million. Officials over the years have noticed the trend that the larger the jackpot, the more interest in the top prize and a surge in players. But remember your odds of winning a jackpot of $40 million is the same as if it were the current estimated $400 million. That's because every time you play, you're still looking to match all five white balls and the red Powerball. The odds of winning don't change as the jackpot escalates, and they change very little even if you buy 10 tickets instead of one.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - School security is not as simple as arming teachers or banning guns, a former Navy SEAL told local school officials.
The Eagle County School District hired security expert Bill Gnesda following the latest school shooting, the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn.
"Security is about a complex combination of strategies and tactics that work together to limit opportunity and discourage targeting," Gnesda said.
Gnesda is the principal partner with Idein Technologies, LLC, a Department of Defense contractor specializing in developing, testing and manufacturing products and processes to support Special Operations Forces. After the Sandy Hook killings, his company was inundated with requests for security consulting, so they launched Nicholson Tactical.
Gnesda spent 27 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL officer.
During his time in the SEAL teams, he served with or trained the FBI hostage rescue team, FBI SWAT, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Department of Education, U.S. Customs, U.S. Marshals and other government agencies. Gnesda has defined security protocols for presidents, nuclear facilities, and high-value military assets.
Gnesda visited a dozen local schools over two days this week. He likes most of what he learned.
"There are plans in place everywhere I've been," he said.
It's a new set of eyes trained to see things in a much different way.
"I look at things differently than a third-grade teacher does. I don't care if it's hard to find a key to unlock a door. If it increases safety, that door should remain locked. If I step on a toe, I'm sorry, but this is what I saw," Gnesda said.
The protocols can be widely applied, he said. If there are earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, or even if bleachers collapse, the procedures are in place. Gnesda said.
"You don't need a shooting to test what you're doing. You can have someone come through and take a look," he said.
Reinforcing the resources
The school district and Colorado Mountain College already have procedures in place.
"My goal is to overlay an objective perspective and see if we can fine tune the protocols to increase the security of already safe environments," Gnesda said.
Gnesda met with School Resource Officers Tad Degen and Megan Richards, along with school and district administrators to assess existing protocols.
Degen and Richardson walk school buildings while school is in session looking for glitches in security - has a door been left unlocked or open by mistake? Is anyone there who's not supposed to be?
Then there's the Sheriff's Active Shooter program.
Several times a year, on nights and weekends when schools are deserted, the Sheriff's Office and officers from other law enforcement agencies train for several different scenarios in which an active shooter might have infiltrated a local school.
An officer or two plays the bad guy and the other officers have to track them down and "neutralize" them, Hoy said.
Several things happen. First, officers know what to do if the unthinkable happens. Second, almost every officer knows the layout of every school in Eagle County.
"The officers take this very seriously. When they're done they discuss what went right and what could have been done better," Hoy said.
Programs like the active shooter and other protocols came about because of Columbine and all that has happened since then, Hoy said.
"Prior to Columbine you'd wait for SWAT to get there. Now the first two officers on the scene work as a team. As other officers arrive the team gets bigger and bigger," Hoy said. "Heaven forbid the call ever comes in, but in a situation like this you'll know exactly what the procedure and protocol is as you move from hallway to hallway and room to room."
CMC's eyes
Colorado Mountain College installed security cameras in its Edwards building when it was built, and more when it was expanded last summer, Peggy Curry, manager of CMC's Edwards campus.
"We're trying to make sure it's as safe as it can possibly be," Curry said.
Besides the security cameras, the college runs lock-down drills, has put together an emergency response team and practices those procedures, and has created a communications tree so everyone knows who's in charge of what in the case of an emergency.
"We're making sure we're as prepared as possible before something escalates," Curry said.
The afternoon after Adam Lanza's Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, Curry was on her way to somewhere else, but to get there she had to drive by a couple local elementary schools.
"I wanted to bar the door," she said.
Local public school administrators are certified in emergency preparedness by FEMA through the National Incident Management System, and each school follows state and federal emergency protocols to implement their own building-specific plan. Due to the resort community, and the international events they host, local law enforcement agencies routinely collaborate with federal agencies, and train extensively to ensure public safety.
"Our goal in bringing in Bill is to ensure that our security and safety protocols are the absolute best that they can be," said Sandra Smyser, superintendent of Eagle County schools.

Valdosta, GA -- November 15, 2011 --
After a two-game winning streak on the road, Valdosta State returned home to host Georgia Southwestern Tuesday night. The Hurricanes proved to be too much for Valdosta State in a 67-60 loss for VSU.
Georgia Southwestern methodically built a 17-point lead in the first half. With just under four minutes left to play in the half, Briana Walker buried a three-pointer to put GSW up 17. Valdosta State battled back starting with an answer from freshman point guard Kourtnee Williams.
On the ensuing possession, she buried a three-pointer herself off an assist from Sczeny Hartry. Williams followed it with another three-pointer to cut the lead to 11, and Valdosta State would ultimately face a 12-point deficit at the break.
Brittany Ferguson started the second half with a lay-up assisted by Bena Hanyard. Trailing by 13 a few minutes later, Valdosta State hit back-to-back buckets to pull within nine. Hartry made a jump shot after one of her three steals, then Maylisa Johnson followed that with a lay-up. Ferguson scored the next two baskets in the game to cut the GSW lead to just five.
Trailing by four with 7:30 to play, Hanyard found Ferguson for two more of her game high 23 points to cut the lead to two. After a GSW free throw, Ferguson gathered an offensive rebound and put it back to make the score 48-47 in favor of the Hurricanes with seven minutes to play.
That would be the closest Valdosta State would come throughout the rest of the game as Georgia Southwestern thwarted any comeback with made free throws and press breaks.
Despite the loss, Valdosta State did many things well. The Lady Blazers scored 30 points in the paint and 18 off turnovers. Williams scored 12 points off the bench to help VSU score 14 in total from the bench. Valdosta State also scored 10 points on the break and 10 second chance points.
In addition to leading all players in scoring, Ferguson nearly double-doubled with nine rebounds. Hartry was second in rebounding with eight rebounds, a career high. She also added three assists and three steals with four points.
Hanyard led all players in assists with five along with five points. Both Johnson and Williams finished with 12 points while Johnson tallied seven rebounds, four steals and two assists.
For Georgia Southwestern, it was Terra Branch leading the way with 22 points while Tania Walters supported her with 16. Adrian Randall led all rebounders with 14 and tallied eight points and four blocks in the contest.
Valdosta State will look to bounce back at Saint Leo at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that antibiotic resistance is one of the world's most pressing public health problems. According to the CDC, an estimated 50 percent of antibiotic prescription use in hospitals is inappropriate or unnecessary.(1)
Other studies have found that dentists also may prescribe antibiotics unnecessarily.(2-3) During "Talk About Prescriptions Month," Delta Dental advises people to be responsible about how they use antibiotics.
Antibiotics are powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections. They work by killing bacteria or preventing them from reproducing until the body's immune system can fight off the rest of the infection. When prescribed and taken correctly, their value in helping cure or prevent the spread of disease is significant. Contrary to popular belief, antibiotics do not fight infections caused by viruses such as the common cold, flu and bronchitis.
Every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed, but resistant germs may be left to grow and multiply. These resistant germs can then be spread to others and over time, an antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria can become a community problem. Repeated and improper uses of antibiotics are primary causes of the increase in drug-resistant bacteria.
Dentists mainly prescribe antibiotics for the management of infections in and around the mouth, which are usually caused by bacteria. They are sometimes used after oral surgery as a preventive measure or to treat a toothache. Most common dental infections take the form of a toothache and require some type of treatment, like a filling, root canal therapy, or tooth extraction. Antibiotics cannot cure a toothache and are not always necessary after routine oral surgery.
Individuals who are taking antibiotics should keep a few things in mind:
• Take the entire prescription: Even if your condition is improving and you feel cured, finish the prescription. If you stop too soon, some bacteria can survive and reinfect.
• Only take antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection: People instinctively want to take medication to make them feel better, even if they just have the flu or common cold. Antibiotics only work on bacteria, however, and the common cold is usually a virus.
• Don't save the bottle for future reuse: Antibiotics degrade when they are stored for months at a time, rendering them ineffective. Check with your pharmacy for appropriate disposal of expired medications.
• Don't share your antibiotics with others: Antibiotics are prescribed for specific purposes. Your doctor will typically check for potential adverse interactions or drug allergies before prescribing.

Four accused in Houma prostitution sting
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 3:07 p.m.
Three Houma women offered sex for money to undercover officers during a Tuesday prostitution sting, police allege. Receiving summonses on prostitution charges were Jennifer Hollahan, 36, of 520 Wilson Ave.; Crystal Hall, 31, of 2171 Bayou Blue Road; and Lakenya McKay, 34, 100 Chateau Road No. 201, police said Wednesday.A Mississippi man is accused of soliciting McKay for sex, Houma Police Lt. Dana Coleman said. John Hastings Jr., 49, 4521 30th St., Meridian, Miss., was issued a summons for soliciting a prostitute and was released.The women were working along Park Avenue and New Orleans Boulevard, police said. Hall and McKay were being held in the Terrebonne Parish jail on outstanding warrants. Hollahan was released after receiving the summons. A summons is similar to a ticket and requires the alleged offender to appear in court to answer to the charges.

OAKLAND -- First Fridays were an unabashed bonanza for bars, restaurants and Oakland pride until a teenager was fatally shot at the most recent event.
With the monthly festival scheduled to return this week, excitement is tinged with anxiety as doubts remain over whether organizers can handle another massive crowd.
"I crossed my fingers that it might rain and everyone could catch their breath and figure out how to handle this in a better way," said John Mardikian, whose Telegraph Avenue restaurant and beer garden counts on the festivals for about one-quarter of total sales.
Adding to concerns, an offshoot of Occupy Oakland has called for an anti-police march through downtown Oakland from 7 to 10 p.m. that night.
No one is calling for the end of First Fridays. The festivals have drawn as many as 20,000 revelers to Oakland's bustling Uptown arts and entertainment district and brought national attention to the city's emergence as a cultural and culinary destination.
But several business operators say the city and the volunteer group that organizes the festival need more security guards and seasoned managers to handle crowds that have swelled beyond expectations.
Last week, Fox Theater General Manager Ruth Carlton told council members she was concerned her patrons "walk out into a bit of chaos" on festival nights and urged the city to adopt a professional security plan.
On Tuesday, Rick Mitchell, owner of Luka's Taproom, convened the owners of several large Uptown bars and restaurants, who agreed to help provide organizational and security support.
Changes discussed
The group's first step, Mitchell said, is to explore moving the festival to Saturday afternoons when fewer security guards would be needed to keep the peace.
City leaders acknowledge First Fridays are a work in progress, but after holding five meetings this month with business and community leaders, they are moving ahead with a smaller, shorter and more subdued festival Friday night.
Open bottle laws will be strictly enforced and street closures will be nearly cut in half. The event also will end an hour earlier, at 9 p.m., with the second of two moments of silence commemorating the victims of Oakland killings last year.
"I don't think it will be a somber event, but it should be sobering," said Eric Arnold of the volunteer group that began organizing the festivals last year.
Whereas recent festivals had up to two music stages per block, this month's festival will have two stages total, both devoted to music and poetry extolling nonviolence.
"We want this not as a symbol of fear, but as a symbol of the community coming together," Mayor Jean Quan said.
Security concerns
One thing that isn't changing is the security contingent. The city again expects to spend about $15,000 on the event, much of which will pay for 32 security guards. The city also will assign about 30 police officers to the event. The police contingent won't have an impact on regular patrols, according to Deputy Chief Anthony Toribio.
With street closures scaled back to the five blocks between West Grand Avenue and 27th Street along Telegraph, city officials expect security will keep better tabs on the event and successfully clear the streets when it's over.
But several merchants fear that if attendance remains strong there won't be enough security to prevent the crowd from spilling out beyond the street closures.
"You can't get by with 32 security guards," Mitchell said. A private nightclub, holding a similar event, he said, would be required to have a minimum of 200 guards under city rules.
Oakland's daytime Art and Soul festival draws similar crowds with slightly fewer security guards and police, although it also requires admission and is fenced off to the public.
Quan said the city didn't consider establishing similar security measures for First Fridays. "That's just not what First Fridays have been," she said.
Murmur to festival
First Fridays began seven years ago as an art gallery crawl, known as the Art Murmur.
As bulging crowds morphed the event into a makeshift street party, the galleries washed their hands of it in the fall and a volunteer group, Oakland First Fridays, took over and turned it into a full-fledged festival.
The city encouraged the event's transformation by closing Telegraph Avenue from 19th to 27th streets and picking up the tab for security and insurance.
The festivals were a hit until earlier this month, when a confrontation led to gunfire in a Telegraph Avenue parking lot nearly an hour after the festival's official end time. Kiante Campbell, an 18-year-old Oakland student, was killed and three others were wounded, including two passers-by.
Pressure is on
Both city officials and merchants agree that if the event is to survive long term the volunteer group organizing it needs to expand and mature.
The group operates on consensus and has frustrated outsiders by not forming a clear hierarchy for making decisions.
"The city is really actively holding that organization's hand," Mardikian said.
Quan compared the organizing group to a teenager just about "ready to go off on its own."
The mayor said that the stakeholder meetings organized this month by her office have helped form the nucleus of an outfit capable of running the festivals.
Mitchell, who attended the first meeting, said the opposite is true. By holding the meetings mostly in the evening, the city made it difficult for event operators to attend.
"The mayor can't let whatever volunteers show up to meetings run the show," Mitchell said. "She has to choose a strong working group. She has to choose the best people -- the people with experience running events -- to be on that group because that group will have a lot of work to do."
Arnold said the volunteer organization already has a local business among its members and would welcome more. He also said the group isn't so driven by consensus that it can't be productive. "This isn't Occupy Oakland," he said. "We consider the city a partner and a stakeholder."

Women's Health
Smoking Can Cut 10 Years Off a Woman's Life
Oct. 26, 2012 -- Smoking cigarettes can shave 10 years off of a woman's life, a large new study shows.
But quitting before her 40th birthday (preferably well before it) avoids more than 90% of this increased risk of dying, and stopping before 30 avoids more than 97% of it.
These are the main findings of the Million Women Study, which appears online in The Lancet.
The study included 1.2 million women aged 50 to 69. Participants answered questions about their lifestyle, including whether or not they smoked cigarettes. They were asked these questions again three years later. During about 12 years of follow-up, 66,000 of these women died.
When the study started:
- 20% of the women were smokers
- 28% were ex-smokers
- 52% had never smoked
Women who were still smoking at the 3-year mark were close to three times as likely to die during the next nine years, when compared with their non-smoking counterparts, the study shows.
This threefold increase means that two-thirds of all deaths of female smokers in their 50s, 60s, and 70s are caused by smoking-related diseases such as lung cancer, chronic lung disease, heart disease, or stroke.
The more the women smoked, the greater their risk of dying. That said, even "light smokers" who smoked one to nine cigarettes per day at the start of the study were twice as likely to die as non-smokers.
Long-Term Risks of Smoking in Women
Previous studies have examined risks of smoking in men, but women born around 1940 were the first generation of female smokers to take up the habit on a large scale. As such, this study is among the first to have the data to look at the effects of prolonged smoking, quitting, and the risk of dying among women who smoke.
"If women smoke like men, they die like men, but whether they are men or women, smokers who stop before reaching middle age will on average gain about an extra 10 years of life," says researcher Kirstin Pirie of the University of Oxford in the U.K.
Rachel R. Huxley co-wrote an editorial accompanying the new study. She is an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. "This is the first study to be able to assess the full effects of smoking in women," she says. "It is as harmful in women as in men."
The message is clear: "Don't start smoking, and if you do smoke, quit," Huxley says. "If you quit in your late 30s or 40s, your risk of dying from serious chronic illness is substantially reduced. [But] it's never too late to quit."

Football: Cheshire Academy's Kehoe airs it out
Cheshire Academy quarterback Patrick Kehoe threw for 590 yards, completing only 20 of 31 passes, and six touchdowns in a 56-19 win over Westminster last weekend.
"Patrick has truly been our MVP on offense this season," said coach David Dykeman. "He has incredible physical tools which makes him very marketable."
Kehoe, of Madison, has thrown for 28 in seven games this season. He's only a junior and already one of the top Division I QB recruits in the Northeast. He's getting looks from Penn State, Maryland and Old Dominion, to name a few.
Three receivers in the game had over 100 yards — Matt Torrey (six receptions, 160 yards, two TDs), Theo Mordicai (two receptions, 120 yards, two TDs) and Chris Rodgers (three receptions, 125 yards, two TDs). Cheshire Academy improved to 6-1 and will host to Canterbury on Saturday night at 6.
Other local prep stars: Taft postgraduate Mick Pernell, of Naugatuck, recorded six receptions for 132 yards and rushed for a score for the Rhinos in a 34-12 win over Berkshire last Saturday.
Pernell also had an interception for Taft (2-6), which concludes its season at Hotchkiss in Lakeville on Saturday at 3 p.m.
Kingswood-Oxford sophomore receiver Isaiah Wright, of Waterbury, has 49 receptions for 1,050 yards (21.43 yards per average) and 10 touchdowns in seven games for the Wyverns.
K-O junior running back Sharrieff Grice, of Naugatuck, has rushed for 697 yards and 10 TDs on 85 carries (8.2 yards per carry) for the Wyverns, who finish the regular season Saturday at 1 p.m. at home against Rye, N.Y.
The game will decide the Fairchester Conference title. Both teams are 4-1 in the league.
Honoring the veterans: The Amity-Cheshire football game at Cheshire High on Friday night will honor all veterans by admitting them free of charge.
Each football player from Amity and Cheshire will wear the name of a veteran (relative, brother, parent or friend) on their jersey. The veterans will be invited down to the field before kickoff, where the Cheshire High band will perform patriotic songs.

Bundesbank Should Not Be So Hard on Japan
Jens Weidmann, the Bundesbank president, should be encouraging Japan, not criticizing it.
Yes, the Bank of Japan latest easing of monetary policy is designed to weaken the yen. And yes, the Japanese central bank is likely to come under pressure to ease even more aggressively in the months to come as the new prime minister, Shinzo Abe, attempts to revive the economy.
But there's the rub.
The Bundesbank president may see all this as a competitive yen devaluation that encourages a global currency war and makes it even more difficult for the euro to be competitive. "Until now, the international monetary system got through the crisis without competitive devaluations and I hope very much that it stays that way," Mr. Weidmann said in a speech in Frankfurt Monday.
But perhaps Mr. Weidmann should be looking at the shift in Japanese policy as a vital effort by the new administration in Tokyo to end years of contraction in the world's third-largest economy. This would improve the chances of a global recovery and make it easier for the euro zone to resolve its own debt crisis.
In fact, as it stands, the Bank of Japan's latest easing of policy could be seen as substantially less than the asset-purchase programs adopted by countries such as the U.S., and indeed the financial markets reacted with some disappointment that the Bank of Japan didn't do more. The BOJ's decision to adopt a 2% inflation target and pursue an open-ended asset-purchasing program was more or less what had been expected.
But the Bank's failure to set a date for meeting the target, only suggesting that it be achieved "at the earliest possible date," and its postponement of the start of new asset purchases until the beginning of next year have both attracted considerable criticism and have actually helped to reverse some of the yen's recent losses.
This disappointment should, however, prove short-lived. Mr. Abe's determination to turn the Japanese economy around and boost the ruling LDP's chances of winning an Upper House election in a few months will ensure that he replaces the retiring Bank of Japan Gov. Masaaki Shirakawa with a more dovish and politically compliant candidate in April.
In other words, Japan will more than likely pursue even more aggressive monetary policy easing in the months to come and the yen will likely resume its recent decline. Even the disappointment over the Bank of Japan's latest move has hardly reversed the current yen trend. The dollar fell back close to ¥88.50 but was still only down at levels last seen five days ago and compares to levels under ¥80 that prevailed only two-and-half months ago.
Mr. Weidmann expressed his concerns about an exchange-rate war in terms of increased political interference in the running of central banks. Coming from a tradition of very strong central-bank independence, with the Bundesbank in the vanguard of the fight against inflation, Mr. Weidmann's position is understandable. But with the Bank of Japan now charged with fighting deflation, and actually promoting inflation, more political persuasion may be needed.
And if Japan succeeds in weakening the yen, increasing its exports and boosting its growth, the world may yet prove a better place for Germany and its euro-zone neighbors to stage the economic recovery they all need.

The age-old complaint that "there's nothing good on TV" is tired and played out. The truth right now is there's so much quality television that some shows tend to get lost in the flood -- especially if you don't know where to look for them.
Case in point: "Rectify." It's a spare and somber drama that doesn't call a lot of attention to itself. And it airs on Sundance -- a cable network your remote might need a GPS to find.
"Rectify" debuted last year with six episodes that were extraordinary enough to earn a place on a number of critics' Top 10 lists. The drama about a former death-row inmate is back for a 10-episode second season, and it still has a fascinating story to tell.
That story is pegged to Daniel Holden (Aden Young), a man who spent nearly 20 years in prison after being convicted of raping and murdering his high-school girlfriend. At the start of Season 1, his sentence was vacated, thanks to the relentless efforts of his devoted sister Amantha (Abigail Spencer) and some new DNA evidence.
But freedom, Daniel learned, comes with its own kind of pain. After being stuck in a small cement box for all those years, he struggled mightily to adjust to a world that he no longer understood.
Season 1 spanned the initial six days of Daniel's post-prison life, a period during which he tried to find his place in a reconfigured family, with adult siblings he was meeting for the first time. Plus, he encountered all kinds of crazy new technologies. For Daniel, a sensitive, sad-eyed introvert, it was a case of sensory overload to the max.
"I think I may be too broken," he said, assessing his chances of achieving a successful fresh start.
Complicating matters are the bitter residents of Daniel's small Georgia community -- including his stepbrother, Ted (Clayne Crawford) -- who still think he might be guilty. In the Season 1 finale, that hostility reached the breaking point when a group of vigilantes beats Daniel to a bloody pulp, leaving him in a medically induced coma.
"Rectify" is the rare TV drama that favors understatement and an unhurried pace. (It's the anti-"Scandal".) As with the preceding episodes, Season 2 unfolds in novelistic leisure, with Daniel still confined to a hospital bed. But thanks to some artfully rendered dream sequences and flashbacks to his prison experiences, we're not deprived of Young's fine work.
The Australian actor is again in Emmy-caliber form, delivering a gripping character study of a man who isn't comfortable in his own skin. Stoic to the core, Young still manages to give us a feel for Daniel's psychological texture, while revealing the horror his life has become.
All moody and haunting, "Rectify" spends much of its time dwelling in Daniel's head. But plot lines are developing. The police are busy trying to track down his assailants, though some would rather look the other way, and the local senator (Michael O'Neill) remains determined to reopen the case against Daniel. Meanwhile, Ted's marriage may be unraveling because he's convinced that his kindhearted, God-fearing wife, Tawney (Adelaide Clemens), has feelings for the former prisoner.
Clearly, Daniel's newfound freedom continues to have a ripple effect on the people around him.
MOVING PICTURES: The still-vibrant documentary series "POV" opens its 27th season on PBS (10 p.m. Monday, KQED) with "When I Walk," an inspiring tribute to the powers of creativity and courage.
The film tells the story of Jason DaSilva, who was a rising independent filmmaker when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 25. Naturally, DaSilva decided to make a film about his experiences.
"When I Walk," an official selection of the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, follows DaSilva's ups and downs over a five-year period, during which his disabilities greatly intensify. But his spirits -- and the film -- get a boost from his mother's tough love and a new romantic interest in Alice Cook, a woman he meets in a support group.
Cook, a Stanford graduate whose mother has MS, married DaSilva and helped him complete the film. "When I Walk" is the first production for which she earned writing, editing and producing credits.

NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work
About the Book
Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea is a tour de force from Nikki Giovanni, one of the most powerful voices in American poetry and African American literature today. From Black Feeling, Black Talk and Black Judgment in the 1960s to Bicycles in 2010, Giovanni's poetry has influenced literary figures from James Baldwin to Blackalicious, and touched millions of readers worldwide. In Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea, Giovanni turns her gaze toward the state of the world around her, and offers a daring, resonant look inside her own self as well.
When Nikki Giovanni's poems first emerged during the Civil Rights and Black Arts Movements of the 1960s, she immediately took a place among the most celebrated and influential poets of the era. Now, Giovanni continues to stand as one of the most commanding, luminous voices to grace America's political and poetic landscape.
In a career spanning over thirty years, Giovanni has created a body of work that's become vital and essential to our American consciousness. This collection of new poems is a masterpiece that explores the ecstatic union between self and community. Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea is an extraordinarily intimate collection. Each poem bears our revered cultural icon's trademark of the unfalteringly political and the intensely personal: The elegant "What We Miss" exalts the might and grace of women, while "Swinging on a Rainbow" rejoices about the spaces in which we read; Giovanni commemorates Africa and her family legacy in the majestic "Symphony of the Sphinx" and contemplates our America in the heartbreaking "Desperate Acts" and "9:11:01 He Blew It." And in the dreamy "Making James Baldwin" and dazzling "Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea," Giovanni gives us reason to comfort, to share, to love, to change and to be human.
Quilting the Black-Eyed Pea is Nikki Giovanni's meditation on humanity and soul. It's her revelatory gaze at the world in which we live -- and her confession on the world she dreams we will one day call home. Nikki Giovanni is a national treasure as she once again confirms her place as one of America's most powerful truth tellers and beloved daughters.
