Bob's Boathouse gets extension to stay open

SARASOTA COUNTY - The owner of Bob's Boathouse was granted a 30-day extension to a temporary certificate of occupancy Tuesday after paying the $77,000-plus in utility fees the establishment owed to the county.
The nautical-themed bar and restaurant at 5515 S. Tamiami Trail was in jeopardy of closing this month after several notifications of outstanding debts from Sarasota County Public Utilities department went unanswered, county officials said. A deadline of Dec. 31 had been set by the department and county commissioners for payment. If not paid, the restaurant's temporary certificate could have been revoked and likely its utility and water services shut off.
Restaurant owner Tom LeFevre and his attorney E. Dusty Aker agreed to pay $77,063.44 in full by 4 p.m. on Dec. 31.
"The fees were paid in full by the deadline. This is what the county demanded," Aker said. "We were told that the fees would not be due until after a permanent certificate of occupancy was issued. That changed on Dec. 9 and we were told we had until the end of the month to pay."
Last week Aker filed suit against the county on behalf of LeFevre and Bob's Boathouse because he said the county readjusted terms after an agreement over the temporary certificate had been made.
"We were always told that the fees did not have to be paid until we had a permanent certificate of occupancy," Aker said.
The restaurant has 30 days to comply with a list of outstanding issues to the property in order to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy.
The issues include door replacements, fence installations, installing tree plantings and bringing storm basin and pipes to code standards. Bob's Boathouse must also submit a lighting plan for the property to zoning administrators for review and approval.
Two permits for trash bin enclosures and storm-water retention structures must be approved.
The restaurant opened on Halloween after nearly three years of being under construction at the site of the former Royal Oldsmobile GMC dealership on South Tamiami Trail near Stickney Point Road.
Bob's Boathouse has been the subject of controversy since before its opening.
Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputies have responded to dozens of noise complaints made by neighbors who live in the Phillippi Creek area. The Sarasota County Commission has collected emails and phone call complaints from residents and withdrawal letters from construction contractors surrounding Bob's Boathouse.
LeFevre has been accused of not paying employees who were hired to open the restaurant.
Bob's began as a popular spot for locals and tourists on the Intracoastal Waterway at the Stickney Point Bridge. It closed in 2001 to make way for a 38-unit condominium.
More than a decade later, LeFevre has resurrected the restaurant many locals still remember. Last year, the owners of the Tamiami Trail property sued to evict LeFevre and his partners, Robert Peebles and Terry Dyer, after they fell behind on their rent. The April 2012 suit said Bob's owed its landlord more than $99,000 in rent, late fees and property taxes. The suit was settled out of court in August.

Louisville, KY -- The Blazers are in pursuit of ultimate team success this week, but en route a few individual Blazers have earned the nation's highest individual honor in NCAA Division II softball. Alanna Hadley, Courtney Albritton, Morgan Johnson and April Hutchens were all named to All-America teams.
Hadley and Albritton both made the 2012 Daktronics All-America Softball First Team while Hutchens was recognized as an honorable mention on the team. Hadley was also named to the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association All-America First Team while Albritton was named to the second team. Joining them was Johnson on the NFCA All-America Third Team.
All four Blazers have been integral parts of the team this season, and this marks the first All-America award for every Blazer named to the list.
Hadley is 29-4 on the season with an 0.96 earned run average that ranked third in the nation coming into the NCAA Division II Softball National Tournament. She's been the ace for VSU in her only season in the Blazers' pitcher's circle and was named the GSC Pitcher of the Year after having earned the GSC Pitcher of the Week award five times this season. She has 12 solo shutouts on the season with 29 complete games and 219.0 innings pitched. To date, she has struck out 155 batters and allows opponents just a .176 batting average.
Albritton is the first freshman to earn the All-America nod since Marti Littlefield. Her and Johnson have been the two most potent offensive threats for Valdosta State this season with Johnson knocking a two-run homer in VSU's opening game of the NCAA Division II National Championship Tournament.
Albritton took VSU and the entire Gulf South Conference by storm in just her freshman season. She was named the GSC's Freshman and Player of the Year while leading the conference in most categories. She is first on the VSU squad in runs scored (68), hits (91), doubles (19), triples (3), home runs (15), RBI (58), slugging percentage (.752) and stolen bases (13-13).
The duo of Johnson and Albritton have flip flopped throughout the season for the team's highest batting average. Currently it's Johnson with a .436 batting average and a team high .507 on-base percentage. Johnson has knocked 46 RBI, 10 home runs, two triples, 18 doubles and 79 hits. She's scored 52 runs and is slugging .724.
Hutchens, meanwhile, has been considered one of the best defensive players in the region and maybe the nation all of her three previous seasons at VSU, but this year she has put together her best offensive output to date. She is batting .312 on the year, her highest of her career. She has scored 35 runs on 48 hits this season with 10 doubles and a home run. So far this year Hutchens has knocked 25 RBI.

Coming face to face with the man held responsible for Ireland's bust was not quite what American writer David Lynch expected.
Lynch's new book When the Luck of the Irish Ran Out (Palgrave Macmillan) deals with the Irish implosion and Fitzpatrick figures prominently
Lynch is currently a senior writer with Bloomberg News in Washington, D.C., focusing on the intersection of politics and economics. Previously, he covered the global economy for USA TODAY, where he was the founding bureau chief in both London and Beijing. His work has taken him to more than 50 countries.
He actually felt himself feeling sorry for Seanie FitzPatrick, the Chairman of Anglo Irish Bank who now epitomizes the headlong flight into penury the country has experienced.
"I look at Sean Fitzpatrick as a tragic figure, one who's almost Shakespearian," says Lynch. "He came from modest origins in County Wicklow, his dad was a farmer who drank too much and got into debt.
"The first thing he did when he became CEO of this nothing bank, which Anglo Bank was in the 1980s, he builds it from nothing to a real financial power. Then to come full circle from all his riches and success to being held up as an emblem of Celtic Tiger excess is just a fascinating story.
"So far he has evaded an official reckoning, but my goodness, the price he's paid. I understand the desire of Irish people to have their pound of flesh, but I think it's impossible not to look at him and be impressed by his rise and fall."
Lynch admits he has to fight his own tendency to feel empathy for Fitzpatrick's plight -- now bankrupt, public enemy number one, the human face of the Celtic Tiger collapse.
Investigations are ongoing into the Irish golden circle and they may yet bring consequences to bear. But when Fitzpatrick's loans became public knowledge in 2008 and the Mickey Mouse games he was playing by warehousing them at Irish Nationwide and then bringing them back on the books was reveled, he said something startling.
Fitzpatrick said he had been assured that these practices weren't in violation of Irish law or banking regulations.
"I thought at the time that says more about Irish law than it does about Sean Fitzpatrick. If that's true, that really is an indictment of the Irish regulator," says Lynch. "Fitzpatrick's story became emblematic of a broader social trend. He didn't bring Ireland down.
"But I wouldn't want to let him off the hook either. He's not alone in his culpability and he is paying a price for his role."
Fitzpatrick is painfully aware, Lynch says, of how complete his fall has been from CEO of Anglo Irish.
"When I met him in Dublin we were skulking around on a street corner. We had a quick cup of coffee at a gas station and we got back indoors before someone might see or say something to him.
"He felt like he had gone from being seen as the guy who helped Ireland grow to the guy who had called its downfall."
Anglo Irish grew its loan book in the years after Fitzpatrick stepped down as CEO and became chairman.
"That's where David Drumm's responsibility lies (Drumm was Fitzpatrick's successor). But I think Fitzpatrick was a little too forgiving of himself. At the end of the day as Chairman of the Board you are getting paid to do something. You can't say it was all Drumm's fault, I was down on the golf course shaking hands."
In Fitzpatrick's last years at Anglo he grew the loan book by 15 billion euros. In the first four years of Drumm's tenure he grew the books by 50 billion euros.
When the global credit market seized up because of the Lehman Brothers collapse all of a sudden they couldn't get capital, couldn't roll over their debts … and we know how that story ends.
Lynch's book is that rare thing, an economic study that's also a captivating snapshot of the society it's exploring.
Written in lucid prose that will appeal to both the general reader and the economist, Lynch (a former Nieman fellow at Harvard University) understands that there's a lot more to a nation's story than the performance of its markets.
It's depressing to realize that your own government and banking industry have been acting exactly like tipsy frat boys, but in effect, says journalist David J. Lynch, that's precisely what has happened. Everyone knew the boom would end, but nobody wanted to be the guy at the party who says goodnight first.
A fifth generation Irish American (on both sides), Lynch's ancestors hail from Co. Kerry and he embarrassedly admits he's taken the classic Irish American ancestral roots trail himself.
But Lynch is no many misty eyed tourist. In the process he has appraised Ireland's particular strengths and weaknesses with a gimlet eye of an outsider who can see through all the palaver.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Golfer127 Made for me I've used Ping drivers for 15 years and decided to try A different brand. Big mistake. I'm not at the level needed to take on different weight placement etc. so back to Ping and the G25 is so easy to use. Plus I get that familiar Ping sound when I get the sweet spot. I discovered I like the higher loft choice too. I think you can't go wrong with this Ping driver if you use Pings or are just getting started. July 29, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Barney Ping G 25 driver only have about a week they're still little work to do on making sure it's good other than that that's what I'm looking for. June 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Leyva Ping G It's help me so much. Big sweet spot. My drives go 20 Plus yards longer. June 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Joebers46 As expected. Great club. Everything I expected. This club is very forgiving. I ordered online. The only slight problem was they forgot to include the adjustment tool. One quick phone call and they sent it out next day. Very happy with the service. April 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bob Great driver Wonderful Driver about 15 yards long right down the middle March 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jack Great club Love the driver. Would've been better if it came with the adjustment tool. February 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by bobw As advertiesed - great! Very easy to hit and can take an aggressive stroke without fear. Stay within the 70% power range and it will fly. Launch was a little steeper than expected so tee it lower. I didn't make any adjustments for now just to see how I hit with the club head at neutral, so far better than expected. October 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by PaPaTheGman Wow, what a difference Was actually looking for a new fairway wood and tested the driver just as an aside. It felt so good in my hands that I bought it was well. Am I glad I did. What an improvement. So easy to hit. Results are fantastic. Great flight. I'm a high handicapper and this club has fit my swing perfectly. It sure is nice to start out each hole with a good shot. I highly recommend this club. October 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bucks80 1 range session and 1 round in and I'm in love 3 years ago I owned the G20. Really liked it. Had an unfortunate circumstance happen and my clubs were stolen. Upon replacing my whole bag I got a deal on a whole Callaway XHot set. Driver, 3H, 4-PW irons. The last 2 years I've been fighting the XHot Driver and decided last week to go back to Ping. Upgraded from the G20 that I knew I liked to the G25 after reading a lot of reviews and am so glad I did. I bought the 9.5 Stiff Flex stock shaft and haven't changed any settings yet due to hitting it so well on the range and on the course first round played. Highly recommend this club!!! September 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by New2golf89 Love this driver. Im new to golf,I originally bought a cheap set of clubs that included a top flight driver. Once i got more consistent driving the ball, i tested a few other similiar priced drivers. With the Ping G25 i consistently out drove the other drivers by 10 to 15 yards, and had a more straight shot. I highly recommend this driver to any one. O and it outdrives my top flight driver by atleast 20 to 30 yards. August 13, 2015

Capital Journal Daybreak: Pushback to Fast Deportations | Obama Still Hopes for Iran Deal
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/CapitalJournalSignup
PUSHBACK TO SPEEDY DEPORTATIONS: The fate of the Obama administration's plan to deal with a surge of migrant children and families crossing the southern U.S. border is expected to hinge on the Senate. But majority Democrats are divided about giving immigration officials more power to quickly return the children to their home countries. House Republican leaders want to tie any emergency funding granted to the White House to a legal change that would allow children to be deported faster. Many Democrats, meanwhile, say expedited deportations are a mistake, and that division could hinder efforts to move legislation before the August recess.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has suggested the administration doesn't need congressional action for the authority it has requested. But he has been noncommittal about what Democrats eventually would bring to the floor, cautioning fellow Democrats to avoid reaching any final decision until they are briefed by administration officials today. Michael R. Crittenden and Laura Meckler report.
–Rebecca Ballhaus
The U.S. is trying to broker a trio of high-stakes foreign policy deals over the next few days, but just one of them – a nuclear agreement with Iran – is of particular importance to President Barack Obama. For Mr. Obama, a deal with Iran is one of the only major planks in his foreign policy agenda that is still within reach. Read Carol Lee's full post in Washington Wire.
BREAKING WITH BROWNBACK: More than 100 Republican officials' endorsement of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's Democratic opponent Tuesday marks the latest sign of re-election troubles for one of the nation's most conservative governors. Two former lieutenant governors and a former congresswoman were among those pledging their support for Paul Davis, a Democrat who was until recently seen as a long shot. The unusual mass GOP endorsement of a Democrat illustrates Mr. Brownback's larger challenge as he tries to woo voters from the center. Mark Peters reports.
YELLEN HEDGES RATES VIEW: Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen defended keeping interest rates low before Congress Tuesday, but opened the door a crack to earlier-than-planned rate hikes if the labor market continues its surprising improvement. Her acknowledgement that rates could rise sooner than planned marks a notable new hedge—though even if the Fed does move sooner than planned, it still looks many months away. Most Fed officials don't expect to start raising short-term rates until next year. Jon Hilsenrath reports.
DEMOCRATS LOSING FINANCIAL EDGE: Democratic candidates in seven of the most competitive Senate races are losing some of their fundraising advantage over their GOP opponents. In the first three months of the year, most Democratic candidates in these races outraised their Republican challengers. But new figures for the second quarter show that while Democrats still hold an aggregate advantage over their opponents in the seven races, it has diminished considerably. Rebecca Ballhaus reports.
ALSO IN THE NEWS: The House passed a $10.8 billion measure to pay the federal government's share of road and bridge repairs for the next 10 months … Israel threatened to broaden its offensive against Hamas after the Islamists rejected a truce … Iraq's parliament elected a new speaker, a first step toward forming a new government … Chief Justice John Roberts is turning the Supreme Court into the friendliest bar in Washington … Hillary Clinton stopped by Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" last night.
–Compiled by Rebecca Ballhaus
Now could be the perfect time, politically, to overhaul the tax code. There's a bipartisan effort in Congress spearheaded by House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R.,Mich.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D., Ore.), and there's a rising number of U.S. companies heading overseas for tax havens. That frustration — and the leadership from the tax-writing committees — may be the spark needed for a major overhaul.
–HOBBY LOBBY VOTE: Senators are expected to take a procedural vote on Wednesday on a bill aimed at reversing the Supreme Court's recent ruling in the Hobby Lobby decision. The vote is largely seen as political; Democrats are eager to spotlight their opposition to the court's decision and support for women's reproductive rights, but the GOP-controlled House isn't likely to advance such a measure.
–OVERSEAS OPERATIONS: The House Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing on the Obama administration's $65.8 billion budget request for the Defense Department's overseas contingency operations, including operations in Afghanistan and counter-terrorism measures. The hearing begins at 10:30 a.m. EDT with Defense Undersecretary/Comptroller Michael McCord, Adm. James "Sandy" Winnefeld Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work.
–YELLEN RETURNS: A day after Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen told the Senate Banking Committee that the economic recovery is "not yet complete" and that "a high degree of monetary policy accommodation remains appropriate," she is likely to repeat that message in testimony before the House Financial Services Committee beginning at 10 a.m. EDT.
–AWAITING THE BEIGE BOOK: The Fed will release its "Beige Book" summary of regional economic conditions at 2 p.m. EDT. The expectation: The economy continues to expand moderately nationwide.
–BUILDERS' OUTLOOK: The National Association of Home Builders at 10 a.m. will release its index of builders' sentiment about home construction.
–THE VA SITUATION: With the Veterans Administration still in turmoil, the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs holds a hearing at 10 a.m. EDT with Sloan Gibson, the acting VA secretary.
Elizabeth Warren says she isn't running, yet is acting more and more like a 2016 presidential candidate, writes Leigh Ann Caldwell on CNN.com. She is "traveling around the country, introducing herself to voters, testing her message — the sort of thing that candidates do."
Here's another potential 2016 Democratic contender: Gov. Martin O'Malley of Maryland. BuzzFeed's Ruby Cramer writes that he has more openly "stepped up efforts to put together what he has called a 'framework' for a national campaign."
David Koch gave a rare interview to his hometown newspaper, the Wichita Eagle; he talked as much about his philanthropy as his controversial libertarian politics and declared: "The world of politics, it's a brutal battle…You're essentially at war, almost."
Religion has found its way to the center of the hotly contested Arkansas Senate race, writes Caitlin Huey-Burns of RealClearPolitics.com. Democratic incumbent Sen. David Pryor can be seen on the campaign trail with Bible in hand and has aired two ads citing the Bible.
In the WSJ's Think Tank, veteran Middle East diplomat Dennis Ross writes that Hamas, far from protecting Gazans, is making them pay a price for its policies: "Whether launching rockets against Israeli cities or denying its own people any protection, Hamas wants to produce civilian casualties among both Israelis and Palestinians."
The Medicare trust fund will be solvent until 2030, and its balance will increase from $206 billion in 2013 to $261 billion in 2024, before starting to slide, the Congressional Budget Office said.
Ron Wyden @RonWyden: Overwhelming response and the @FCC comment deadline is extended to Friday. Not surprised so many want their voices heard. #NetNeutrality

Kennedy remembers fallen teammate
WATERBURY — From the moment Dariel Perez arrived at Kennedy High in 2008, he thrived in the classroom and on the football field.
He was known as "Rudy," a nickname given to him based on his similarities to the legendary Notre Dame football walk-on famous for hustle and determination in spite of his small stature.
Perez, a former team captain and 2011 Kennedy graduate, died last spring from injuries sustained in a car accident in Woodbridge. To honor his memory, Kennedy football coach Chris Sarlo listed No. 8 Dariel "Rudy" Perez on the 2013 football roster, with a memorial written next to his name.
Since Perez graduated, Sarlo has given out the Rudy Award, a desktop glass-shaped memento, to an Eagles player who displays a high level of dedication and commitment to the team. Jake D'Alusio was the 2012 recipient as a
See PEREZ, Page 6B
Sarlo said Perez's legacy will live on.
"In everything Dariel did in his life, he was determined to be the best he could be," said Kennedy football coach Chris Sarlo. who also was Perez's U.S. history teacher. "He excelled in the classroom and was always asking questions. He was a typical kid with a high level of intelligence. In class, he listened carefully and grasped the concepts and content I was presenting. He really liked history and was always active and always engaged in the class discussions."
When Sarlo scanned Perez's Facebook page upon his death, Sarlo found a real positive image of him.
"It was not like (the things) a lot of 21-year-old kids have posted," noted Sarlo. "What Dariel had was all about love and images of stones shaped like hearts. That's who Rudy was."
On the football field, Perez was all business, though.
"It's a cliche, but Dariel went 100-percent in practice, and it made the others look bad," said Sarlo. "He always had his motor turned on. It was never off. And I never saw the kid hang his head."
As a sophomore, Perez was a special teams performer for the Eagles' Copper Division title team that played Ansonia for the Naugatuck Valley League title.
A year later, he started on defense as junior. He played on both sides of the ball in 2010 as a senior. The last time that Sarlo saw Perez was last Thanksgiving, when the Eagles beat Crosby.
"That's one of the greatest pleasures for a coach: to see a former player come back on the holiday," said Sarlo. "It was always great to see Rudy."
For a Republican-American Thankgiving profile in 2010, Perez was asked how he got his nickname.
"I'm a little kid with a big heart," said Perez. "I may be small, but I have just tried to do my best and be a playmaker. No matter what, you can't hold anything back. I wish I could bring that style to everybody on my team, no matter how big or small they are ... You need to play with energy and passion."
He was asked how he wanted to be remembered at Kennedy. "I wanted to be a role model for my teammates, on and off the field, and I also wanted to be known as a student-athlete, not just a football player," Perez said.

NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH, PEND d'OREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION , WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 15 NEW MOON OF CONTINUOUS SNOW DECEMBER 15, 1982 Federal energy agency hires Tribes to study fish and geese The Tribes has been selected to be the lead agency for a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA)-financed study to determine the effects of hydropower development on the fish and wildlife in the lower Flathead River area Herschel Mays, Tribal Wildlands Recreation department director, said BPA has agreed to pay the Tribes over one million dollars to gather facts on how Kerr Dam has affected game fish and geese in and along the Reservation portion of the Flathead River over the next four-and-a-half years. Once the facts are in, Mays says they'll prove to be important tools in future fisheries management The money received December 9 is, in effect, Mays noted, the first phase of a multi-agency effort that is leading to enhancing habitat for Columbia River system fish and wildlife. The ultimate goal, he stressed, is finding a balance PUBLIC NOTICE The Tribal Legal Code becomes effective today, December 15, 1982. The public is invited to look at the document in various locations at the Complex in Pablo. Questions? Call Judge Don Dupuis at 675-4600. between the need for electric power in the region, and the need for critical fish and wildlife habitat A second benefit; of the two grants, of special interest locally, is the employment-training opportunities for Tribal members. Fourteen people will be needed to accomplish the separate fish and geese studies. Six of them - two project directors and four biologists - are required by the grant contracts to have college degrees, but the remaining eight will be advertised for locally, and will be trained while they work. Mays said recruiting for the positions will begin immedately, so the work can begin as soon as possible. He said February 1983 is the target date for starting the projects. The federal research money is the result of the Northwest Power Act which became law in 1980 to save anadromous fish (Le., salmon) whose survival is being threatened by Pacific Northwest hydropower development Mays noted that the law, and the subsequent research money, doesn't intend to halt progress or deter hydro development The objective is "a balanced approach" to producing power without sacrificing animal and fish life. "BPA is buying a product" from the Tribes, he said, not merely paying for a lot of esoteric data, to be ignored The proposals accepted by BPA were two of seven submitted 18 months ago by Mays and a support staff of BIA (Concludes next page) Federal taxes and woods workers, page 2 SKC winter quarter information, page 12

STOCKTON - After six innings of manufacturing runs, the Pacific baseball team broke the game open with six runs on two big hits in the seventh inning to defeat Gonzaga 9-3 in front of a crowd of 507 Sunday at Klein Family Field. The outcome avenged a heartbreaking loss the night before.
Freshman Gio Brusa, a St. Mary's High product, had a bases-loaded double and senior Tyger Pederson followed with his first career home run to snap a 3-3 tie in the seventh for the Tigers (3-4). Starting pitcher Michael Benson improved to 2-0 by scattering nine hits over 72/3 innings.
Brusa's batting average was at .077 in 13 at-bats prior to Sunday's game, and his five RBI were the first of the season. His fielder's choice groundout in the fourth inning and sacrifice fly in the sixth scored freshman J.J. Wagner, also of St. Mary's, for Pacific's first two runs.
"We were all motivated immediately after last night's game," Brusa said of the Bulldogs' 9-8 comeback victory in the ninth inning on Saturday. "We wanted to take back what we thought was ours."
Pederson pinch-hit in the sixth inning and brought home the game-tying run - making the score 3-3 - with his fielder's choice groundout. He spoke highly of Brusa, who hasn't had the opportunity to play on a regular basis.
"He's got a lot of talent and a great swing," Pederson said. "This should boost his confidence. We're going to need him for the rest of the year."
Benson allowed his first two runs of the season, raising his earned run average to 1.32 in 132/3 innings. Against Gonzaga he allowed one walk and had no strikeouts.
After staking Benson to a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on Brusa's first RBI, Gonzaga (4-4) scored twice off Benson with three hits in the fifth.
"You're looking for that shutdown inning," Pacific coach Ed Sprague said. "I don't think his location was as sharp as it was last week, but we played catch behind him and that's important."
Pacific put the loss on Gonzaga starter Derek Callahan with three runs in 51/3 innings. Erik Lockwood and Wagner each had two hits, including a double, and Wagner scored three times.
Tyler Sullivan also had two hits.

Comments about Universal Yarn Classic Worsted LP:
I made a hat with this yarn. I wanted the hat to be washable, so I chose this yarn because it is an acrylic/wool blend. I wish it felt more like wool or had a higher content of wool so that the hat would be warmer, but oh well. The hat turned out nice. It's stretchy and the stripes of the yarn look beautiful.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent Classic Worsted LP yarn.
By soulkitchen
from Bastrop, Texas
This yarn was easy to work with and made up into a lovely cowl. I would definitely purchase again.
nice but a few issues
By sootyjan
from Australia
I made a baby blanket with 4 colour ways but ended up only using 3 as one was too dark. The blue only had 4 colour changes and the pink and green/yellow had 5 or more colours so that was a bit strange. Another odd thing is there are dots of other colours here and there which don't help the overall look. I enjoyed knitting with it and the price is great.

BARLOW TWP.-Less than a dozen scattered headstones, most from the 19th century, make up a small cemetery on a big plot at the edge of Barlow Township.
On a map, the graveyard is referred to as Barlow Township Cemetery, but many refer to it as Martin Cemetery in reference to a few of the people buried there, including a Civil War soldier.
"His marker looks more like one of the markers the veterans services put out," noted Barlow Township Trustee John Hannan of the small modest stone belonging to E.G. Martin.
Article Photos
JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Barlow Township Trustee John Hannan inspects the headstone of Civil War Solider Enoch Martin Tuesday. Martin's is one of less than a dozen headstones that remain in Martin Cemetery located at the edge of Barlow Township.
The soldier's stone does not list a date of birth or death, but lists the 140th Pennsylvania Infantry as Martin's place of service. According to a census of Union Veterans of the Civil War, Enoch Martin was born in Virginia in 1832 and served in the infantry from February of 1864 through June of 1865.
Martin's stone is still in good shape, but most others in the cemetery are showing their age.
An epitaph on a headstone for Mary Martin, buried in 1879, is no longer legible.
Fact Box
Also known as Barlow Township Cemetery, the cemetery has been in the township's care for decades.
The most recent burial is that of Alva Sarver in 1983.
Sarver was a farmer and the namesake of Sarver Road, which intersects the cemetery.
Many refer to the cemetery as Martin Cemetery in reference to the most common surname found within.
Enoch G. Martin, a Union veteran of the Civil War, is buried in the cemetery.
Enoch's son, John, was the second to last person to be buried there in 1921.
Near the woods is one broken-up stone with only a single word visible-Ransom.
Martin Cemetery has been cared for by the township for as long as Hannan can recall.
"When they become abandoned, they become the township's responsibility," he said.
The cemetery, at the intersection of Sarver, Benedict and Fisher roads, likely had more stones that have now vanished, said Leo Lynch, an employee of Barlow Township who helps mow the cemetery.
"There are a couple of places there that look like there used to be stones. You can sort of see the depression they left," he said.
It is also likely that a church once stood in the large flat plot, said Hannan.
"Usually in little cemeteries like this, it was set up beside a church that has since burnt down or been torn down," he said.
The cemetery is now inactive, and no one else will likely be buried there, said Hannan.
Enoch Martin's son, John, was the second to last person to be buried in the cemetery. He passed away on Feb. 14, 1921.
After John Martin's death it would be more than 60 years until the next and final person was to be buried in Martin Cemetery in 1983.
A headstone for Alva Sarver, the namesake of Sarver Road, seems glaringly new when compared to the other stones in the yard.
Sarver owned the large 80-acre farm at the end of Sarver Road, according to his nephew Raymond Wriston, 60, of Marietta.
"Alvie worked in silos mostly and he worked down at Eramet in construction work for a time being," said Wriston.
He died in a bulldozing accident, he said.
Wriston said he did not recall the family needing to go through any special requirements to have Sarver buried there, but Hannan added that it was likely they would have needed a special permit since the township does not have the cemetery platted.

Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts, Jr.
New England Law | Boston students learned about the United States Supreme Court from an extraordinary teacher – the Chief Justice himself – in an extraordinary setting – the magnificent campus of the National University of Ireland. Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., taught "The United States Supreme Court in Historical Perspective" in July 2009 as part of the law school's annual summer program in Galway, Ireland.
The course was offered by the Irish Centre for Human Rights and the Consortium for Innovative Legal Education, Inc. (CILE). Students examined how the role and operation of the Supreme Court have changed since the nation's founding, with particular emphasis on the role of the Chief Justice and the ways that several of the Chief Justices, from John Marshall to William Rehnquist, have influenced the Court's role. The course also reviewed how advocacy before the Court has changed over time, with particular emphasis on some of the most effective advocates.

Over the last year, officials with the American Red Cross office in Meridian say there has been a significant increase in the number of house fires in the area it serves.
In some of those fifteen counties, the Red Cross says the number of house fires has almost doubled.
Tocara Griggs of Lauderdale County is one of the most recent victims.
"I actually grew up in that house," said Griggs, standing by what remains of the structure.
Now the house with so many memories for Griggs is gone. That is, all except for primarily winter clothes that were able to be salvaged.
The 24-year-old and her two children, who are ages 4 and 2, have been left without a home or exact plans for the future.
"I don't even know," Griggs said. "I'm taking it day by day."
For Griggs who says she pays for everything in cash, this was especially devastating because she says she just used the money she received from her tax return to pay off her car and fix the floors in the house.
"The first thing people ask is, did we have insurance? No, we did not have any insurance because we're just a normal family trying to make it," said Griggs.
"Usually in the spring and summer, due to use of heating sources being decreased because it's not cold, we see a decrease in the number of single family fires," said Gordon Stewart, readiness and response manager for the East Central Mississippi Red Cross Office in Meridian. "But this year it has been unusually high."
Meeting the emergency needs of fire victims by providing temporary shelter, food, clothes and disaster health services when needed, Stewart says the increase in house fires is also sparking increases in other areas.
"We do need donations and we do need volunteers," said Stewart.
"Just to think about the people who have donated who didn't even know us is just...," said Griggs, breaking into tears.
To help fire victims like Tocara Griggs and her children, you may contact the American Red Cross Office in Meridian at 601-485-5151.
Stewart says most fire victims assisted by the local office do not have insurance.

"And graduates, we wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors." With that, we filed out of the auditorium, smiling, waiting for the inevitable click of our parents' cameras. We had just graduated from eighth grade. I didn't really process what had happened until much later that night when I realized . this is it. At the end of the next two and a half months, I would be plunging into the unknown, saying goodbye to my school and my best friends of nine years! I hardly knew anyone at my high school. I was terrified, to say the least. As the summer went on, aside from doing some summer reading, thoughts of high school had been pushed to the back of my head until that week in September - last-minute shopping for school supplies and book-bag packing had me uneasy. I had no idea what to expect that first day! Finally, Sept. 4 came along. The student body went to the auditorium for an assembly before the day started. I looked at all the unknown faces, too nervous to talk to anyone. "It may not seem like it right now, but your four years here will fly by!" said Mount St. Mary Academy's Principal Dawn Riggie.
Finally on the way up the stairs to our lockers, I decided to swallow my fear and take just 20 seconds of courage to start a conversation with the girl at the locker next to me. As we went through our schedules, I realized that all you have to do to meet someone is just say something - anything! It doesn't just have to be the classic "Hi I'm ____, what's your name?" Ask them where they went to school, what activities they are into and what classes they like so far. It's easy to start a conversation with someone. Even just passing someone in the hall, all you have to do is smile and show them that you're approachable.
Just a couple of months ago, I would have never seen myself approaching others to start a conversation. People had given me that advice up until my first day, but I had to experience it myself to really understand what they meant. You may see yourself as a scared freshman, but think of it this way: There are lot of other freshmen too. Here's some advice someone once gave to me: "Squeeze every last bit of happiness out of the whole experience!"
Now go out and meet someone new.

Given that I'm 8 days from the Beijing marathon, I'm anxious for feedback from runners with more injury experience/knowledge. After a 17km run on October 6 I noticed the onset of a sharp ache in the high on the front of my thigh. It's hard to pinpoint the precise location, but it seems to be a small cluster of sharp twinges in various places across my upper left thigh from my hip. The pain is associated with impact only. No impact, no pain. Impact is not limited to running, but also includes standing up and walking (the first step on my left leg), getting off my bicycle and landing on my left leg (since I dismount on the left side), hopping on my left leg, etc. Here's the weird part: The pain actually diminishes as I run. The pain is noticeable and bothersome in the first few km, but by kilometer 10 or so I more or less forget about the pain. Since the onset of this pain almost 10 days ago, I've run four 7+ km runs and a 21.1 km (half marathon) run without any problems (and in fast times by my usual standards). Can't I rule out a stress fracture for this reason? Isn't the pain from a stress fracture supposed to increase with distance to the point of agony? I've done virtually every test I can think of: resistance tests (flexion strength), range of motion tests, abduction strength, adduction strength, Ober's Test for ITB syndrome, the Trendelenberg Test (standing on one leg), Patrick's Test (or the faber test), the Thomas Test, Ely's Test, the Log Roll Test, the femur bend/pressure test for femur stress fractures, the hang-a-leg-off-the-side-of-a-bed test, etc. My muscle strength is fine and there's no pain whatsoever in any of the tests on this long list. The only symptom I have is what I described above: impact. In fact, impact is pretty painful, causing me to wince. But again, I can run through it pretty easily to the point that I forget about it after I'm sufficiently warmed up. I'm treating it with ice, forward lunge stretches, IT band stretches, groin stretches, and self-massage with a rolling pin and tennis ball on the thigh muscles. I think it's getting a little better. For sure it's not getting worse. Since I'm in China, I'm not planning to see a doctor about this. My plan is to proceed with the full marathon in 8 days and hope for the best. Any thoughts you have would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!
The worse case scenario is the problem you are experiencing is a stress fracture of the femur. If you try to run through a stress fracture the worse case scenario is the stress fracture could become an overt traumatic fracture. A fracture of the femur is serious injury, but a fracture of the neck of the femur is a very serious injury. If a fracture occurs in the neck of the femoral bone is can lead to death of the femoral head.
Damien Howell PT, DPT, OCS - www.damienhowellpt.com
I'd be very grateful if you clarify this worst-case scenario for me. Everything I read about stress fractures indicates the pain worsens with distance. Furthermore, I did the femur "hang test" (http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/front/frontthigh/femur_stress_fracture/1-femur_stress_fracture.php) and the "log roll test" with no pain whatsoever. After posting my original query, I went out and ran a quick 6km on a treadmill. The treadmill allowed me to focus more on the location and character of the pain than I'm able to do out on the pavement. Here's what I can add: First, whereas I had been under the impression before that the pain was focused on the left hip, I now have the sense the pain almost circles the very top of my anterior thigh (almost but not quite extending to the groin). Second, the pain noticeably diminishes after 2km and almost entirely disappears after 4km. Third, even at its worst, the pain never exceeds 3 on the 10-point pain scale. I'm really anxious to understand the risk of a femur or femural neck stress fracture given that my specific symptoms do not seem to conform to the typical profile (at least as I understand it). Thanks so much!
Actually, many of your symptoms DO indicate stress fracture, just because a few don't does not mean you can "rule out" a stress fracture. I was a case in which I had very few symptoms of a femoral neck stress fracture - my only thing was pain and soreness in my hip that didn't go away and an affected gait. I had great range of motion, my pain lessened as I ran, I didn't even have impact pain as you describe but yet I was diagnosed with a stress fracture. They were pretty positive I didn't have one based on my symptoms thinking it was a muscle tear, but yet they wanted me to get the MRI to 1) confirm a muscle tear and 2) rule out that 10% chance they thought it COULD be a stress fracture. It was that 10% freak chance.
The point being, you can't look at the symptoms and hope on hope that you DON'T have something because a few of the symptoms don't match up. Hip injuries are tricky and difficult to diagnose because often you will have symptoms of one injury but not all but have symptoms of yet 5 other injuries. You really should get a proper diagnosis from a doctor - hopefully it isn't a stress fracture, but maybe it is. And there are other hip injuries that can be quite serious as well but others are OK to run on or can be taken care of with a little therapy or a cortizone shot to get you through the worst part. Proceeding with the marathon and hoping for the best could be really dangerous - IF it is a stress fracture and you were to run on it, it could complete the fracture. That would put you out for months requiring surgery to put a pin in your hip and being on crutches for months. I know this is an important race to you, but you need to get a diagnosis and find out if it's an injury that you CAN and should run on. When I had my injury, I was gearing up for my big goal race and I was not allowed to run it. It was devastating. But I had to keep asking myself, "Do you want to run THIS race or do you want to run the rest of your life?" and the choice was easy. You need to find some way to get into a doctor if you can because it MIGHT be nothing but it MIGHT be really serious. Are you willing to take that risk?
The two of you have convinced me that I need to get an MRI..... I hope the technicians and radiologists know what they're doing.... Thank you for pushing me to do this.
Good news: the MRI results do not suggest a stress fracture. This morning I went to the Beijing University Number 3 Hospital, which has one of the very few sport medicine clinics in Beijing. There's nothing in the world like a Chinese hospital. The sheer volume of people seeking (and obtaining) medical help totally boggles the mind. Although the sports clinic was already full for the day, I managed to squeeze myself in. And although the MRI machine was booked through next Wednesday, I managed to squeeze myself in. Although the official radiology report and the full-size printed images won't be available until Tuesday afternoon, I managed to get a sports doctor and another doctor to examine the images on a computer screen. Neither doctor was able to find any evidence whatsoever of a stress fracture in the upper femur/femoral neck. The MRI includes both hips, so they were able to compare the two. They couldn't spot any differences. Preliminary diagnosis: soft tissue pull/strain (although they also said the muscles don't look too bad). Yeah, it's almost uselessly vague, and it's based on nothing more than a look at the MRI images, but I got my money's worth. One of the reasons I don't like Chinese hospitals is that doctors never spend more than about 45 seconds with a given patient.... But of course their clinical experience is unparalled since they see so many people. And the price is right: the doctor's consultation fee was less than $1, and the MRI (using a state-of-the-art GE machine) cost $150 -- almost makes me embarrassed to submit the claim to my insurance company.... Afterwards I went for a 2-hour massage, most of which was focused deeply and intensively on my thigh. I'm feeling *so* much better.
I just wanted to thank the two of you again for pushing me to get a definitive answer. Yesterday I showed the MRI images to a bone/joint doctor at Haidian Hospital. He said there was no evidence whatsoever of a stress fracture (no edema, no fracture), but also advised me to go back to the sports clinic at the Beijing University Number Three Hospital to be 100% sure (apparently sports medicine, even when it involves bone stuff, is completely different from regular bone/joint medicine). Today I saw a specialist in bone fractures. After examining the MRI images he conclusively ruled out a stress fracture. He also did all the manual tests (log roll, palpatation of the hip, etc.). His diagnosis: overuse/overtraining leading to soft tissue pain. He gave me the green light to run the marathon. Now that I've completed my taper 3 days in advance of the race, my thigh/hip feels markedly better. In fact, today was my first day in which I didn't feel anything unusual at all in the area. Had you not pushed me to get the right tests, I would have been stressed out about running. I can't thank you enough.
GREAT! I'm really glad to hear that it wasn't anything too serious and that you are cleared to run the marathon. It can be devastating to get injure so close to your goal race. And I'm also glad it seems the doctors there were so thorough. That's amazing. Over in the states you probably wouldn't have gotten such great medical care. And that's great that a few days off have helped it a lot. Good luck in your race - come back and let us know how it goes.
I survived! 4:02:58. Feeling pretty good, as this was my first marathon, I'm 41, and the weather was miserable yesterday (temperature 48 degrees, rain, and strong winds up to 18mph with gusts almost 30mph). The winning time was 2:14:45, 8 minutes slower than last year's (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2010-10-24-1169336510_x.htm). My muscles, especially my calves, are SO much sorer than they were after my longest training run of 22.5 miles. I wonder if the weight of my water-logged shoes caused my calves to work extra hard, or if cold temperatres makes muscles tighter.... Anyway, all things considered, I'm really happy. The original source of pain (upper left thight/left hip) is probably the only part of my body that doesn't hurt..... BTW, I wouldn't recommend the Beijing Marathon. It was very poorly organized.
Glad you made it through and the hip is no worse for the wear. Rest up and congratulations!

Oklahoma City police have released the name of an off-duty officer killed in a single-car crash in Logan County and says he was a 12-year veteran of the department.
Capt. Dexter Nelson says 39-year-old Sgt. Steven Elsass and 30-year-old Amber Brown died in the crash about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. Nelson referred other questions to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol — which investigated the crash.
OHP Trooper Betsy Randolph says Brown was driving the high-performance sports car and was apparently speeding when she lost control and crashed into a concrete culvert alongside the road. Randolph says the car rolled and came to rest on its top about 300 feet from the initial point of impact.
Randolph says both Elsass and Brown were dead at the scene.

SAN JOSE -- Thanks to Brent Burns -- or, as Todd McLellan calls him, the "wrecking ball" -- the Sharks are alone on top of the Pacific Division for the first time since early December.
The Sharks forward scored the game-winning goal late in the third period of Thursday night's 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, assisted on another and was credited with five hits, including one that leveled forward Corey Perry.
"He's a one man wrecking crew out there when he plays that way," McLellan said. "He has his own unique style. He backs that big truck in and finishes checks that way."
The Sharks were able to claim the top spot in the Pacific for themselves for the first time since Dec. 5, though Anaheim has played one fewer game. San Jose trailed by as many as 13 points on Jan. 15 before closing the gap to the point both teams entered Thursday's game with 97 points apiece.
But as important as the game was, McLellan didn't want a "must-win" label on it.
"There's a lot of hockey left," the coach said. "When you start putting that pressure on individuals or groups that you have to win Game 70, that's a tough thing to maintain. We just want to get better night in and night out."
The Sharks also got goals from Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton. Mathieu Perreault and Teemu Selanne scored for the Ducks. Antti Niemi earned his league-leading 35th win of the season, making 16 saves.
Both teams' power plays had been struggling, but the opening goal for each came with the man advantage.
Ducks defenseman Luca Sbisa was in the penalty box with a roughing penalty on Tommy Wingels when Marleau was set up by Thornton and roofed a shot over Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen at 12:49 of the first period. The power-play goal was only San Jose's third in its past 32 opportunities.
Anaheim tied the score after a pair of penalties drawn by veteran Selanne just 1:54 apart in the second period. San Jose killed off a brief six seconds while at a two-man disadvantage, but five seconds after that Perreault punched in a rebound of a shot by Perry and the game was tied at 17:40 to tie the game.
The Ducks took their only lead at 1:43 of the third period when Perry found the puck in his skates as he cut across the crease. He kicked it to his stick, then slapped the puck toward Niemi with Selanne tipping it en route.
That only seemed to stir the Sharks, whose top line of Thornton, Burns and Joe Pavelski had success against Anaheim's top line of Ryan Getzlaf, Perry and Selanne all night.
San Jose tied the score at 2-2 when Joe Pavelski sent Burns and Thornton up the ice on an odd-man rush with Burns firing the puck off Andersen's pads and Thornton potting the rebound at 8:11.
"Just one of those plays where you shoot low there," Burns said. "If it doesn't go in, hopefully it gets to Jumbo. It was spinning and bouncing behind him so he made a great play finishing it there."
Burns both set up and finished what turned out to be the game-winner at 16;01, driving into the offensive zone and firing a shot that Andersen steered to the side boards. From there, Thornton zipped the puck toward the slot where Burns got a stick on it for a deflection that found the back of the net.
The Sharks took some satisfaction in moving into first, but know there's more work ahead.
"It's big, obviously," Burns said of taking a 3-1 lead over Anaheim this season. "Then the next one becomes the biggest game of the year every game. You look at it as every game is the most important and then you've got to move on."

The DM-RAID6-R24-48T from Dedicated Micros is an AoE RAID6 24 bay with 48TB. ATA over Ethernet (AoE) provides a highly-secure transfer of video files to a separate storage device for backup and long-term archiving. As the system is point-to-point, utilising MAC-MAC address ethernet connections, it is highly efficient, allowing data to be transferred at high speeds with minimal use of the systems processing power. The AoE RAID utilises 3.5" SATA disks. There are no constraints to how big an AoE storage network can be or how many Video Servers can be attached to the storage network. Each time a new RAID device is added to the storage network, more processing power is added and therefore aggregate throughput and performance of the storage system is increased, providing an unlimted storage solution.

I started the Couch to 5K program in the beginning of June. So far it's gone like this..
week 1 - completed week 1
week 2 - completed week 2 (barely)
week 3 - completed week 2 again (MUCH easier)
week 4 - completed week 3 (barely)
Today starts my 5th week. I'm seriously considering repeating week 3. My boyfriend and my trainer both think I should just push myself on go on to week 4. The 5K I signed up for isn't until Oct 4th. It seems to me to make sense to be able to complete a week fairly easily before progressing or am I just being ruled by my fears of being able to actually do this. I have to add I am 48 years old and 35 pounds overweight.
What do you all think? Repeat week 3 (which would put me 2 weeks behind in the program) or try week 4 and possibly fail? My fear is if I fail I will quit in frustration.
Thanks for your opinions and inputs!
Completing each week is largely a mental challenge - physically you CAN do it - you mentally stress yourself out - If you repeated a week you`d find it a cake walk - so in short - yes you are being rules by your "fears" - it`s natural - Keep progressing until you reach a week a can not complete - and then repeat that week - you have complete this week - it`s not meant to be easy ! - celebrate - move forward !! you are doing great !!

I'd go on to week 4 and if you need to, slow down during the runs. In my experience week 4 is a big one mentally. For me the thought of a five minute run was really scary. A huge part of running is mental and now you're starting the part of c25k where mental toughness is just as important (maybe more) than the physical part. Tell yourself you can do it and you will.
I am repeating the c25k and am at week 4 like you. I am very slow! LOL. But I had the exact same question you did, and I loved the answers below! I agree...week 4 is a real mental obstacle...going from 3 to 5 minutes seems herculean! But I did my first run last night and no it wasn't easy but I did it!
I wondered last night if i should repeat week 4 until it is easy for me, but saw the two AWESOME replies to your post, and now am completely motivated to plug away at this.
I am 49 years old, run like a Clydesdale horse LOL and am maybe 20 lbs overweight? Just not a natural athelete, but I love this program!
good luck BonnieV and thanks to the 2 people who replied to your post.

PS3 Media Server is very nice. I am having some difficulty. I upgraded my network from wireless to 1G wired. The devices I am using are an Onkyo RC460 and a Panasonic DMP-BDT-320. The Panasonic connects, displays the folder and will play the mp4 for about <1 minute then claims there is a network connection issue.
The cable is cat 5E and Netgear GS105T Rev 4 and GS108T. This was sort of working with a Linksys 100 5 port switch in front of the Onkyo and Panasonic with mostly Cat 5 cabling. Stuttering and lagging were the biggest problems. I upgraded the network from wireless to 100M to 1G. The PS3 is on the 1G NIC and on the 108T.
Monitoring the network under Ubuntu 13.04 does not show network saturation. It did not under 100. It did show it under Wireless. The nics on the Onkyo and Panasonic show 100 on the Netgear 105T. This is bazaar when I play a video, after 30+ seconds the network connection gets dumped. I have to find it again and reconnect.
The debug log shows the Background task Singleton 2 restart started right after it starts playing an MP4. The log shows that the server stops responding and shuts down. Ouch.

The Lizards is a beautiful piece of music. At some point in the middle of the song, Mike makes a really odd (accidental I assume?) sound with his bass that for some reason I've always been intrigued by. It occurs at 3:15 on my copy of the show. Just an odd, completely out-of-place "thump" on Mike's bass. This version is very tight. Trey's outro solo absolutely soars, as usual, although the ending is cut off on the tape. My Sweet One begins with machine gun drumming from Fish and is a standard run through of the bluegrass love song.
The jam in Mike's starts out with some heavy organ by Page before Trey comes in with a snarling solo. Short but intense, not unlike most early Mike's Songs. Still, maintains the energy of an already strong set. I am Hydrogen is typically blissful. Weekapaug, while also standard for the era, nonetheless features a blistering solo by Trey. He really used to rip his solo in this song apart in those days.
Thus ends a set that I enjoyed very much. The playing was tight, the flow and song choices were both great, and there was plenty of high energy, creative playing. Not to mention the SBD quality makes this set a great choice for a snapshot of the band in the post-college pre-93 days. Let's see if Set II delivers the same way.
As the band noodles around on their instruments at the start of the second set, a fan yells "Golgi Apparatus!" and the band immediately starts up the song. I wonder if they played it for him or if he was perceptive enough to hear something in their tuning that indicated they were going to play it. Not the tightest Golgi ever - some noticeable Trey flubs in the middle section. A standard Cavern leads into The Landlady. Trey's solo is a little rough at times, but man, he really channels a gritty Latin soul. After Bouncing Around the Room is a very crisp Stash. Only a few flubs in the composed section and the jam is full of tension and great playing from Trey and Page in particular.
The recording cuts out the intro of Guelah which is a bit disappointing, but oh well. Mike's bass sounds particularly heavy at this point in the recording as well. Uncle Pen is definitely one of the better bluegrass tunes they play, and this version is plenty of fun. During the HYHU intro Trey announces that Fish's 26th birthday was two days ago, and Fishman walks up to the mic and announces "Good Morning." Page, Mike, and Trey all take solos during Love You. Trey's drum solo is comically lame. Fishman sounds a little tired while he sings, but his vacuum solo is funny and he mentions that his mouth is "so fuckin' dry" at the end.
Bowie starts with a somewhat spacey and very interesting intro. The jam starts with HEAVY Manteca teasing (Edit: I see .net agrees), but they never quite break into the full groove. The rest of the jam is full of dissonance and tension until the song reaches its explosive final peak (complete with some secret language). Suzy is hot. Great way to end the show. All in all, I think the second set definitely upholds the energy of the first. I really enjoyed listening to this show. Nothing groundbreaking, but tight and creative versions of some of Phish's classic tunes.
One thing I thought about while listening to this show: Phish makes so much more SOUND these days. Compared to the layers of sounds and effects radiating from the stage in the later and current incarnations of the band, it is refreshing to hear such a crisp, clear, and simpler sound. Each instrument is more clearly distinguishable in the recording and there is less reliance on effects, especially from Trey and Page. I especially love Trey's clear tone from this era - such a beautiful sound. It is certainly a nice change of pace from listening to 3.0.
I can't quite justify a 4 star rating for this show, but it's a great listen nonetheless.

Avoid Electrical Fires at Home
It is estimated that more than 30,000 non-fatal electrical shock accidents occur each year. The National Safety Council estimates that between 600 and 1,000 people die each year from electrocution. Safe Electricity wants you to avoid becoming a part of these statistics.
Create a safer home by making a check for electrical fire and shock hazards:
Circuit breakers/Fuses— Fuses should be properly rated for the circuit they are protecting. If you don't know the correct rating, have an electrician identify and label the correct size to be used. Always replace a fuse with the same size you are removing. Check that circuit breakers are working properly.
Appliances/Electronics— If an appliance repeatedly blows a fuse, trips a circuit breaker or has given you an electrical shock, immediately unplug it and have it repaired or replaced. Look for cracks or damage in wiring and connectors. Use surge protectors to protect expensive electronics.
Electrical wiring— Wiring defects are a major cause of residential blazes. Check periodically for loose wall receptacles, loose wires, or loose lighting fixtures. Listen for popping or sizzling sounds behind walls. Immediately shut off, then professionally replace light switches that are hot to the touch and lights that spark and flicker.
Service capacity— As you continue to upgrade your home with more lighting, appliances and electronics, your home's electrical service capacity may become overburdened. If fuses blow or trip frequently, you may need to increase the capacity of your electrical service or add new branch circuits. A qualified, licensed electrician can determine the appropriate service requirements for your home.

About the Book
"Extremely intense and powerfully intriguing."
"[Ashworth] Evokes a damaged mind with the empathy and confidence of Ruth Rendell."
—The Times (London)
Cold Light by Jenn Ashworth is a hauntingly beautiful and shocking psychological thriller in the vein of the bestselling novels of Tana French—a darkly compelling story of secrets between two teenage friends in a small English town. Ashworth already has created great buzz in the U.K. thanks to her stunning debut novel, A Kind of Intimacy, winner of the prestigious Betty Trask Award, and now Cold Light places her in elite literary company—alongside Laura Lippman, Kate Atkinson, and other acclaimed masters of intelligent, emotionally powerful mystery and suspense. An unforgettable tale of friendship and memory—and the shattering truth behind a forgotten dead body newly unearthed—Cold Light is a most welcome addition to the crime fiction and thriller ranks.
I'm sitting on my couch, watching the local news. There's Chloe's parents, the mayor, the hangers on, all grouped round the pond for the ceremony. It's ten years since Chloe and Carl drowned. You can tell from their faces that something has gone wrong. But I'm the one who knows straightaway that the mayor has found a body. And I know who it is.
Jenn Ashworth's gripping and unforgettable Cold Light is the story of a friendship unsettling in its intensity and of one terrible summer when lies, secrets, jealousy, and perversion result in tragedy more twisted and evil than one unsuspecting community can handle. A dark tale with a surreal edge, it follows two fourteen-year-old girls, best friends, as they confront the dangers of a predatory adult world, where truth is cruelly sacrificed in the name of innocence.
