Lib Tech Skateboard's Northwest Leg Tour 2012 – The Washington Edition
We don't usually post skateboarding videos, but since it's summertime, it's that time of years when here in the office, we try our hand at sucking at skating once again, and we could use some inspiration from the guys that really crush concrete. Plus, these are Lib Tech skateboards and Jesse and Pika Burtner, of Think Thank fame, made this video, and it's really good. So, check out this balls-out skate edit from Lib Tech and Think Thank of Lib Tech's Leg Tour 2012. From Think Thank: Ripping around Washington State and shredding skate parks is never a bad idea. Think Thank filmers Jesse and Pika joined the Lib Skate team and did just that on a hot lap around Eastern Washington and a trip to the Peninsula for this Washington Leg. With the likes of Sky Siljeg, Mikey "L'il Swayze" Swearingen, Chad Fenlon and Edwin Swagerty in tow this was a D3 stomping, high heeled high kick of a good time. Look for more Legs kicking in your zone this summer especially if you're from Vancouver, BC, Colorado or So-cal.Read More

Absolutely nothing has changed on the end of the router (I did experiment with toggling UPnP on/off, to no avail) or the PS3 (obviously UPnP is enabled and the Media Server is toggled on). The big change has been the computer/OS change, which should be covered by turning the OS's firewall off, right? What am I missing on Mavericks that would've caused this?

Over the past few years, the talent on the Bishop O'Dowd High girls basketball team has caught the attention of college coaches from all over the country.
Now four seniors from the defending Division III state champions are officially headed to NCAA Division I programs.
Oderah Chidom, K.C. Waters, Breanna Brown and Ariell Bostick will go in separate directions next year, but signed their letters of intent together in a ceremony at the school on Nov. 14, the first day of the early signing period for all sports except football, soccer, track and field, cross country and men's water polo.
Chidom, a 6-foot-4 forward who is ranked a top-10 recruit by three rating services, is headed to Duke. Brown, also a 6-4 forward, will join her in the Atlantic Coast Conference after she signed with Virginia Tech.
Waters elected to play at Cal, and Bostick will join San Diego State.
"It feels real, now I can actually see myself at the next level," said Chidom, who played for the U.S. under-17 national team over the summer. "It just feels like it's the real deal now. I'm trying to enjoy every moment."
Chidom is part of a recruiting class at Duke that was ranked No. 2 in the nation by Blue Star Report.
Waters, who's 6-2, turned down offers from schools such as Tennessee and Florida to play for Lindsay Gottlieb at Cal. She said ex-Dragons teammate Mikayla Lyles, now at Cal, helped convince her to go to Berkeley.
"I know I made the right decision and to make it official feels great," said Waters, the 2012 East Bay Player of the Year.
Other Bishop O'Dowd athletes who signed letters of intent included Dominic Miroglio (UCLA baseball) and Shea Wales (Fort Lewis women's lacrosse).
Oakland Tech 44, Skyline 36: The Bulldogs faced a crossroads on Nov. 16 in the third quarter of their Oakland Section playoff game against the visiting Titans.
With the game tied at 22, Oakland Tech had a third-and-22 from the Skyline 27. The Titans had the momentum, scoring 15 straight points to tie the game.
But Bulldogs quarterback James Lewis found Michael Adams open over the middle for a 27-yard touchdown pass, and Oakland Tech led the rest of the way.
"I read inside-out, then I saw Mike blow past that linebacker and I got it to him," said Lewis about the touchdown pass, his last pass attempt of the game. "I have a lot of confidence in my wide receivers."
With the victory, Oakland Tech advances to the Silver Bowl. It will be held at 1 p.m. Nov. 23 at Laney College.
Skyline's Kendrick Payne opened the game with an impressive 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. But Oakland Tech (8-3) countered with touchdown drives on its first two possessions, both of which ended on touchdown passes. The second one, a 17-yard reception by Kenyon Jackson was particularly impressive, as he skied above defenders in the end zone for the grab.
Lewis completed nine of his 14 passes for 161 yards and three touchdowns in the game. Skyline's Gabriel Richard rushed for a game-high 146 yards and three touchdowns.
Skyline (6-5) trailed 22-7 with 2 minutes, 57 seconds left in the first half, but worked its way back to a 22-22 tie. One of the touchdowns was a spectacular 56-yard run by Payne in which he scooped up a Skyline fumble and bolted from the right side of the field to the left sideline.
But after Lewis' touchdown pass to Adams, Tech's Nayo Johnson intercepted Richard on the Skyline 38. Six plays later, Erik Thomas scored on a 7-yard run and the point-after-touchdown kick by Zachery Spindle gave the Bulldogs a 37-22 lead with 2:36 left in the third quarter.
Thomas and Jeremiah Varnedoe spearheaded an effective Tech rushing attack with 83 and 82 yards respectively.
Skyline still had a chance to tie the score on its final drive, but it stalled out on the 50 on a fourth-down play.

El Cerrito 19, Bishop O'Dowd 7: A steady downpour kept both team's offenses neutralized for most of the game but the Gauchos made the most of their chances in the first half en route to a sloppy win over the Dragons in an North Coast Section Division III quarterfinal on Nov. 17 at De Anza High.
The Gauchos (12-0) were fueled by the nifty footwork and steady hands of junior quarterback Keilan Benjamin. He ran for 53 yards on 22 carries and one touchdown and completed five of eight passes for 49 yards.
El Cerrito scored first when Adarius Pickett rumbled in from 30 yards with 8:56 left in the first quarter. BOD answered right back with a 13-yard bolt by Antonio Burnette to take a 7-6 lead with 5:41 left in the quarter.
Fullback Derik Calhoun bulled over from four yards out after an slippery exchange from Benjamin late in the first and Benjamin scampered in on a 9-yard TD run with 8:02 left before intermission.
Miroglio completed 10 of 32 passes for 83 yards and was intercepted once by El Cerrito cornerback Marcellus Pippins.
The Dragons (7-5) had 123 yards rushing on the night.
Bishop O'Dowd lost three fumbles and El Cerrito only lost two fumbles. The Dragons failed to capitalize on either of the Gauchos turnovers and that proved to be critical.

Campolindo d. Bishop O'Dowd: The Cougars let a late lead in game three slip away, let a 2-0 lead in games get away and were forced to a fifth game by Bishop O'Dowd on Nov. 17.
But the host Cougars recovered and found a way to win the North Coast Section Division III title in a wild 25-18, 25-13, 20-25, 21-25, 15-9 victory over the Dragons.
The top-seeded Cougars (27-4) dug themselves into early holes in games one and two. They trailed 10-5 in the first game but rallied. They trailed 11-7 in the second game only to score 18 of the game's final 20 points.
Up 19-15 in the third game, it seemed academic. But the No. 2 Dragons (29-7) came storming back.
Behind Brianna Karsseboom -- who had 13 of her 17 kills after game two -- they scored eight points in a row to turn the 19-15 deficit into a win. The Dragons then pulled away late in game four, and seemed to have all the momentum heading into game five. But Shurtz came up with four of her 22 kills in the fifth game, and Campolindo won its second title in three years.
In the semifinals on Nov. 14, the host Dragons pulled out an incredibly competitive first game and took the wind out of the sails of Albany, the defending NCS and Northern California Division III champions, and posted a 30-28, 25-21, 26-24 win.
No. 3 Albany (34-6) battled back after trailing the entire first game to take leads of 25-24 and 27-26. But No. 2 Bishop O'Dowd righted the ship and took control.
Behind 18 kills from Brianna Karsseboom, who came up with big side-out after side-out, the Dragons controlled game two and wiped away a 15-11 deficit in game three.

Transportation Museum launching oral history exhibit of 2011 tornado
Published: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 1:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 8, 2013 at 1:13 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | An oral history of the tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa and the surrounding area on April 27, 2011, will be exhibited later this month at the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum.
The exhibit, "Listening to the Storm: A Natural Disaster in Retrospective," will offer firsthand accounts of first responders, volunteers and survivors from April 23-June 7.
"This whole exhibit, it really talks — literally — about the devastation of the tornadoes and how far we've come two years later and how far we're going to go," said museum director Shaina Strom.
She said between 50 and 60 accounts have been recorded, but about 25 will be part of the actual exhibit. The remainder will be stored in an archive to which the museum intends to continually add, Strom said. Those wishing to contribute an account are asked to schedule an appointment.
As the recordings came in, Strom said she began to notice a theme of a community galvanizing against the forces of nature.
"We're really accounting ... how we rose up as a community — above racial tensions and economic divides — to make sure people had something to eat and somewhere to go," Strom said.
The exhibit resulted from a partnership between the museum, the Tuscaloosa Public Library and Alabama Public Radio.
"The Tuscaloosa Public Library is excited to partner with the Mildred Westervelt Warner Transportation Museum on this significant project," said library spokesman Vince Bellofatto. "The impact of Tuscaloosa's April 27, 2011, storms — both negative and positive — should never be forgotten.
"This project helps preserve the events of that extraordinary day."
Pat Duggins, news director at Alabama Public Radio, said the station lent recording equipment and tips on getting quality sound to the museum officials.
The radio station also is editing the recordings to pair them with visual exhibits to provide quick, emotional effects. The museum has obtained photos from a variety of professional and non-professional photographers including a large, high-resolution image of the storms' path that will be along one of the museum's interior walls.
Visitors at the exhibit can place stickers on the image of where they were when the storm struck. Hearts will be used to signify those who died.
"What we've got so far is pretty good," Duggins said of the recorded material, noting that Mayor Walt Maddox's recording is particularly impressive.
"This is kind of a shared experience through out the town," said Duggins, whose home in the Downs subdivision was in the path. "Everybody who got hit in that storm area suffered losses from one degree to another, and it's really good to know other people went through that.
"I think it can be a useful part of the healing process."
The transportation museum is at 1901 Jack Warner Parkway, adjacent to the public library, and open 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday
For information, call the museum at 205-248-4931, the city's non-emergency hotline Tuscaloosa 311 at 205-248-5311 or visit www.mwwtm.com.

Successful students need successful teachers and some say the way that happens is through revamping teacher evaluations.
"Our current evaluations aren't comprehensive," said East Detroit Public Schools teacher Lincoln Stocks.
Stocks went on to describe the current evaluation process as simply a checklist. The American Federation of Teachers released new guidelines on Tuesday taht would weed out the weak and help others improve.
"It's sort of a menu with 71 items that can be constructed and tailored down to meed the district's needs," said Nate Walker with the AFT who helped compile the guide. A year of research into several school districts went into building the guidelines and it's split in domains with criteria that each district can choose from to make their evaluations tailor-made for their school. Some domains include student assessment, course syllabus and managing student behavior. Teachers would be evaluated by a combination of administrators and peers.
The 71 items are not only daunting to an already strapped school system but a challenge to these proposed guidelines is funding.
"If the foundation allowance of $470 per child is cut, it's going to be very hard for a district to have the resources to do the proper kind of evaluation like we proposed," said David Hecker, president of the American Federation of Teachers. "Bottom line is, we all say we want the best in the classroomand we all do --- well that means a real evaluation and that means staff who have the time... time to be trained and do it properly."
The Lansing School District does not fall under the AFT guidelines, but rather the NEA and MEA but Superintendent Wallace believes a thorough evalution is key. Now, the new legislation that ties teacher evaluation with student performance, he says it will pose some challenges.
"When you tie achievement to evaluation..... unfunded mandate."
Doctor Wallace says the district already has a comprehensive teacher evaluation in place. Stocks says while the AFT guidelines are detailed he believes his school is ready.
"It would be a burden, they would struggle with some of the other issues, but yes, they could do it," said Stocks.
And the teacher's union believes that districts have no choice but to do it, but the student's success depends on it.

Yes, we have an endowment! The ASWU Endowment was created in 2001 as a one-time investment in the Willamette University Endowment Fund after a budget surplus carry-over of $33,000 during 2000-2001 fiscal year. In 2001, ASWU VP of Finance, Andrew Cockrell, encouraged Finance Board to make a fiscally responsible investment of the windfall into the Willamette Endowment in trust for the student body. The Finance Board recommended an initial allocation of $10,000. This investment was to be the first step in a journey of designing the financial stability and sustainability of student activities and organizations at Willamette University. During the 2002-2003 academic year, the Finance Board endorsed the recommendation of VP of Finance, John Turner to invest an additional $10,000 into the Endowment.
The purpose of the ASWU Endowment is simply to empower student organizations and provide a financial reality for the dreams and visions of students at Willamette. The Endowment could finance the purchase of lights and SFX equipment for ASWU sound, help buy the hardware for the WIRE's move to a low or high power FM station, or fund the construction of a student organization resource room in a new Student Center.
The Endowment is not a process to be laden with red tape and administrative headache. The money is not kept hidden away from students. The Endowment fund is an effort to ensure the longevity of student activities and clubs at Willamette. Furthermore, our motto, "Not onto ourselves alone are we born" will be embodied through the future administration of the Endowment as current students invest in future students.

Thibodaux firm lands $29.5 million contract
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 10:19 p.m.
Thibodaux's Phylway Construction has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract for flood protection work in Plaquemines Parish.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded the $29.5 million contract to the company to build a pump station to replace the Wilkinson Canal Pump Station near Myrtle Grove, according to a corps press release.
The station will pump up to 1,000 cubic feet per second with fronting protection for storm surge, according to the corps.
Fronting protection includes a concrete wall in front of the station. The discharge pipes will be extended through the floodwall. The station will also be tied into the existing levees on either side of the waterway, the corps said.
The 33-month contract is expected to be completed in spring 2016.
Plaquemines Parish received one of the hardest hits from Hurricane Isaac last August with large portions of the parish taking on flood waters.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, April 1, 2010
AUGUSTA, Ga. --- Driving during Masters week can be a nightmare and this year is no different. The Masters Tournament means more cars on the road and that means more chances for people to break the rules.
Lots of patience and a good sense of humor - is one man's recipe for sanity during the week. "Stephen" from www.totaltickets.com says the secret is staying calm.
Riding along Washington road you will notice some drivers weaving in and out of traffic, bobbling behind the wheel and making quick turns. Some of the drivers will not signal at all when they are turning. However, that is just everyday traffic in Augusta and there is sure to be more of it during masters week.
"There's always going to be accidents," says Stephen. "It is mostly just fender benders where they're driving too fast and traffic all of a sudden stops."
Washington Road is the main drag and it is where Stephen sits. His business, totaltickets.com, is located in the same spot each year during the tournament.
"We got your badges, we got your practice round tickets, so look us up," he said.
Stephen's tent is just inches away from traffic along Washington Road. He says there is no other spot he'd rather have, but sometimes it can get a little dangerous. Speeders, however, are not to blame.
"Just like yesterday I was sitting in the lawn chair right here and a guy threw a bottle cap at me and hit me with a bottle cap, I mean how crazy is that?" he said.
It may have been a crazy move, but Stephen says he has no hard feelings.
"You can't get mad," he added."You have to let that pass because somebody out there is having a hard time or a bad day."
Someone who won't be having a hard time during Masters week is Michael Parks. Parks lives in the backdoor of Augusta National and has had the chance to see the traffic preparation and transformation. He says hopefully there won't be any traffic issues because all the signs help point drivers in the right direction.
"I think it is clearly marked," said Parks.
Stephen, who is looking forward to more ticket sales as soon as the tournament starts. He says the faithful golf lovers will be patient and take their time as they endure the traffic problems.For the rest of the folks out there he leaves this advice.
"Remember that we're supposed to be helpful and not harmful," said Stephen. "Be cautious out there, keep your eyes on the road and keep it between the lines."
Each year dozens of traffic tickets are written for drivers and pedestrians. There are also cameras being utilized along Washington Road. Traffic officials have used a series of cameras to monitor Masters traffic in the past to tweak the timing of traffic lights, but this year the cameras will allow patrons to check the traffic online before they head to the course.

If you're looking for a blow-by-blow account of the whos and hows of the decade-long search for Osama bin Laden, "Zero Dark Thirty" is not the movie for you.
Instead, the film is a wrenching portrayal of points along the journey, based on firsthand accounts, that manages to land several punches to the gut despite being stripped of many Hollywood conventions.
After a powerful opening sequence of phone calls made on Sept. 11, 2001 (I couldn't find whether they were real or not), the film dives straight into the process of gathering information to fight al-Qaida and track down its leader. Jessica Chastain ("The Help") plays Maya, a young CIA operative who is initially as horrified as some audience members likely will be at the brutal tactics fellow agent Dan (Jason Clarke, "The Chicago Code") uses to obtain that intelligence. The film follows Maya over the years as she doggedly pursues bin Laden, culminating in the famous raid by Navy SEAL Team Six.
Chastain is the acting centerpiece, but she's surrounded by other strong performers, including Jennifer Ehle ("A Gifted Man"), Mark Strong ("Sherlock Holmes"), Edgar Ramirez ("Wrath of the Titans") and James Gandolfini ("The Sopranos"). A bit out of place was Christopher Pratt, best known as the goofy Andy on "Parks and Recreation." I've seen him play somewhat serious before in "Moneyball," but here it just feels like Andy as a Navy SEAL.
Director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal - whose last collaboration, "The Hurt Locker," earned Oscars for both and a Best Picture statue - choose to show rather than tell their audience what's happening. This spares viewers clunky exposition, but at times makes the film a little hard to follow.
That applies to the characters as well. Honestly, I couldn't have told you the names of some key players even as the movie was going on. There's little to no backstory or exposition to flesh them out the way you'd expect. That makes sense given that many of the people portrayed on screen are based on real individuals whose identities are classified. Delving into their lives too much would not have been possible and filling in perceived gaps with fiction would have undermined the realism the film wants to portray (how realistic it actually is has been and will continue to be debated).
Fact Box
"Zero Dark Thirty"
Starring: Jessica Chastain, Kyle Chandler, James Gandolfini.
Directed by: Kathryn Bigelow.
Rated: R for strong violence including brutal disturbing images, and for language.
We're told very little about who Maya was before joining the CIA or why she does what she does. But what drives her is never left to the imagination. You can see and feel her and other characters' frustrations, fears, exuberance and anguish.
That empathy also applies to a victim of brutal interrogation techniques. One scene in which a detainee pitifully clutches the meager juice drink and food his interrogator offers him should serve to torpedo any claims the film is glorifying torture.
Nevertheless, the film implies these practices were important in the ultimate discovery of bin Laden, something that's drawn criticism from senators in Washington. I still wouldn't call it an endorsement of torture, and, while the accuracy of the depiction should certainly be open for discussion, ignoring the topic completely would not make sense.
Underlying the film is a debate about what lines it's justifiable to cross to combat a ruthless enemy with no regard for those lines. I took no pleasure in seeing suspected terrorists tortured or even the final raid on bin Laden's compound, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't understand the motivations of those involved.

By using Membership Management to convert your data, many hours of input can be saved and your data will be converted accurately. We don't just run your data through a conversion program and give it back to you for data correction. We work with you to deliver the best possible outcome.

Newtown coverage: scoring the media
There was something reassuring about the wave of public sorrow over the Dec. 14 Newtown massacre. After Tucson, after Aurora, after the mass shootings in a dozen other places that you or I couldn't name — events that were shrugged off within days — I was no longer convinced of the public's capacity to respond to such horror in the right way: with outrage, with regret, with something close to determination.
Apparently, murdering a score of children and the women who were trying to protect them hits primordial nerves. That it happened at all suggests an abysmal failure to carry out the very most basic responsibility of any society — to keep its people safe, especially the most cherished and most vulnerable of them.

Born in Bagnoregio, a town in central Italy, he was cured of a serious illness as a boy through the prayers of Francis of Assisi. Later, he studied the liberal arts in Paris. Inspired by Francis and the example of the friars, especially of his master in theology, Alexander of Hales, he entered the Franciscan Order, and became in turn a teacher of theology in the university. Chosen as minister general of the Order in 1257, he was God's instrument in bringing it back to a deeper love of the way of St. Francis, both through the life of Francis which he wrote at the behest of the brothers and through other works which defended the Order or explained its ideals and way of life.
The morning of the fifteenth of July, 1274, in the midst of the Second Council of Lyons, Pope Gregory X and the Fathers of the Council were shocked to learn that toward dawn Brother Bonaventure, bishop of Albano, had sickened and died. An unknown chronicler provides his impression of the Franciscan cardinal: "A man of eminent learning and eloquence, and of outstanding holiness, he was known for his kindness, approachableness, gentleness and compassion. Full of virtue, he was beloved of God and man. At his funeral Mass that same day, many were in tears, for the Lord had granted him this grace, that whoever came to know him was forthwith drawn to a deep love of him."

The past four years Briarwood Academy has been a football team on the cusp of great things. They just haven't been able to get there. With a lot of returning starters, this year they are looking for the next step in leaving their legacy on the program.
While Briarwood replaces their entire backfield, they do have Taylor Coxwell back to run the show. He's done a lot of work in the off season to improve his passing game which should improve the bucs as a whole, seeing they usually run the ball a lot. For coach John Ssborne, the biggest thing he likes, are the small things.
"One thing about it, I really feel this team has discipline" said coach John Osborne "We have been doing the little things and that's what I have been preaching, is lets do the little things and the big things will happen"
"It's just goingto take dedication and working hard and everybody staying healthy" said Fifth Newton "Just getting after it day in and day out."
The jump in class to 2-A won't make life easy as the buccaneers are now the smallest program in the class. But coach Osborne says his boys are ready to climb the mountain with him and overcome. They'll find out how ready they are right out of the gates as they tangle with Edmund Burke Friday night

Four people have died after overdosing on a painkiller commonly used to treat cancer patients.
You can legally get it only by prescription, but these days, Fentanyl is winding up in the wrong hands. Mike Marbert, a special agent for the federal Drug Enforcement Agency, says "It is more and more popular on the street. More people want it because it's a pharmaceutical grade of heroin."
In fact it's wanted in Aiken County where four people have reportedly died by overdosing on the drug. Pharmacist Kyle Pulliam fills ten to fifteen prescriptions of Fentanyl a week and he knows this is strong stuff. "Morphine, Oxycondone, Percocet is a brand name of those."
According to the Aiken Standard, those who died either injected or inhaled the gel inside a transdermal patch. D.E.A. agent Mike Marbert says "the patches are popular because they're real potent and they'll open 'em up, take out the gel inside and then heat it up and then inject it like heroin." Kyle Pulliam says "they actually call it chicklets or something like that. I've heard of people going through trash cans and digging that out and cutting it up and using it and squeezing out the contents to inject or whatever."
That's why the Drug Enforcement Agency is concerned Fentanyl is fast becoming a street drug... though special agent Marbert had no idea it was a problem in Aiken County. He blames those eager to experiment with a drug cheaper than heroin. "Heroin in augusta is very expensive so that may be why they're looking for alternative sources of heroin which that's what this would be." An alternative just as dangerous and in this case just as deadly.
The Aiken County coroner was unavailable for comment but we will have more information for you Friday, including the names of those four who died. We can tell you Fentanyl is commonly stolen from drug stores, nursing homes and other long-term care facilitiies.

Many of us no doubt asked, how are they going to top the previous night? If Tuesday was sweatin' to the oldies, Wednesday had a more recent focus, and was evidence that the band continues to develop into a piledriver. Phish gets a bad rap for so-called repeats, but I think they are oblivious to that concept and play what they think people want to hear. I am thankful for that, as I generally get to one show per tour, and even though I hear every show, there is no substitute for being there--hearing it and digging Kuroda's indescribable lightscapes. Just about every song was nailed, or beyond. KDF was a surprise opener, well rocked. 46 Days was greasy. Sugar Shack demands precision and is getting it. Trey went for the record quiet spot in Divided Sky. Ocelot ended with a remarkable jam. Antelope was an absolute rage. Birds was tight as hell. Tweezer rattled the rafters--well, I'm 3-for-3 with Tweezers this year, I think I'll have a t-shirt made. YEM was stunning--Mr. Gordon laid the cold steel to it, capped by a remarkable solo. TTE--some people bitch about this sing but I remember when the Dead rolled out Terrapin and everyone was scratching their heads...Phish is polishing this every time they play it. This one shined. Oh! Sweet Nuthin' just makes me smile, made me think of a friend, and caused me to whip out 10-31-98 for the ride home.
Phish is working it out, big time. I don't know how...but I think the process of rehearsing and performing Exile for Festival 8 has got them steeped in the gutbucket. Listen to Trey, for God's sake, chunking those chords and reeling off shimmering leads as if Keith Richards and Mick Taylor were both fightin' over those fingers. They are ripping the roof off every venue. It is scary good to think what this band will be like by next summer.

SANTA CLARA -- Silicon Valley cities remain anxious over pending state rulings on land transfers they had hoped would keep millions of dollars worth of municipal property out of the Capital's clutches and under local control.
In Santa Clara, officials in recent days sent an electronic newsletter to residents warning of the consequences should Sacramento win the battle over former redevelopment agency lands. Cities bought the land for economic development, but Gov. Jerry Brown last year shut down redevelopment agencies statewide in a move to divert more property tax revenue to schools and other programs.
"We're gearing up to educate our people about what's at risk," said Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews. "It's not to alarm people. We feel responsible for people to have the same information we have so they can understand the next steps we have to take."
Santa Clara's electronic "important message" to the community last week warned that state authorities are expected to rule soon that the city must transfer more than $300 million in city property to fund other obligations required by the state. That figure, the city noted, is twice the value of Santa Clara's annual general-fund budget.
The properties in question, which include the Great America amusement park and the Santa Clara convention center, also deliver $13 million in annual revenue to the city from rent and lease payments, an amount that approaches the city's $15 million annual budget for libraries and road repairs. Matthews said the city's 49ers football stadium project is not at issue.
Jacob Roper, a spokesman for State Controller John Chiang, whose office is reviewing the property transfers, had no comment and could not say when a review of Santa Clara property transfers might be completed.
Santa Clara isn't the only city awaiting a decision. A host of cities transferred redevelopment land to the city or a city-controlled agency as Brown's effort to end redevelopment moved through the Legislature.
Several of those cities' land transfers now are under the controller's review, including in San Jose, which had handed redevelopment land bought for a possible major-league ballpark to a new city-controlled agency. The city in November sold a purchase option for that land, for which the city paid $25 million, to the Oakland A's ownership.
"We're still trying to get the state to follow the law," Mayor Chuck Reed said. "The statute specifically says they respect contracts with third parties. We think that's important with regard to the ballpark site."
San Jose and county leaders have recently begun talks on how to protect the A's deal in the event the state rules against the city transfer. All told more than $100 million in city land is at issue, although Reed noted the city expects to be allowed to keep many properties.
Brown signed legislation ending redevelopment statewide on June 28, 2011. According to the controller, the law requires that all redevelopment assets transferred to a city, county or other public agency after Jan. 1, 2011, must be given to its "successor agency" unless the assets were committed to a third party before the law was signed.
The successor agency decides on behalf of the state whether the assets should be sold to pay off redevelopment obligations and redistribute excess cash to fund schools, public safety and other local public services.
Cities argue that the state law cannot block land transfers that took place before it was signed.
But the controller has disagreed in rulings on other city property transfers.
The controller in August ruled that Milpitas and Morgan Hill shouldn't have transferred assets from their redevelopment agencies to the city or a newly created city economic development corporation. The controller ruled that Milpitas owed $234.7 million and Morgan Hill owed $108.4 million in redevelopment assets to their successor agencies.
"We've seen reports they've sent out on jurisdictions around us and feel it's a one-sided argument," Matthews said, adding that it's likely the city will end up fighting the state in court over the land. "We decided that rather than wait to respond to a one-sided argument, we'd move forward and give information in a transparent way. Every impact I know, the public knows."

I'm Getting Meta All the Time
Mostly, I try to think about these things without writing about them publicly, but I've been thinking a lot about a good response John Joseph Adams gave to a question that was posed to him: "As an aspiring writer, is it a career-limiting move to write a bad review?" My name is invoked in his response, not because I specialize in bad reviews (though I've written my fair share), but because the tiny bit of status I have in the SF world has come through blogging and reviewing. I was certainly pleased to be thought of, particularly when surrounded by ideas I agree with, but it also seemed odd to me, because I'm not used to being thought of as a model for anything.
A critic once suggested that if I wanted to get "noticed", I would post less raw material, more polished ideas, more careful prose (MORE STRONG VERBS!), and would actually try to say something that was insightful rather than thunderingly obvious and/or naive. Each to their own, I guess. I suppose there are some people who are able to use a weblog as a place for their best writing, and I suppose they try to make sure every post they put out there will be deathless and perfect, but I've tried to stick to the original impetus I had for beginning this blog: to record ideas as they occur to me, and to see what happens. I certainly never expected to gain much of an audience, nor to still be doing this now more than two years later. It was an experiment then, and it remains an experiment, because it actually gets harder to continue the longer I do it -- I don't have an infinite amount of ideas about anything, time is limited, and I'm not always good at balancing the various projects I sometimes impulsively commit myself to. I'm grateful to the people who keep checking in to see if there's anything worth reading or arguing with here, and I certainly hate to disappoint anybody, but for a blog to be effective, I think it needs to be the sort of thing someone would do regardless of whether the audience was one person (hi mom!) a week or one hundred a day.
Maybe I'm just feeling old (my birthday is Monday, and it's one of those ones ending in 0). I used to be ambitious, but somewhere along the line, ambition seemed to be less a force that impelled me toward great work and more a thing that made me endlessly unhappy with my life, because no matter what I accomplished, it didn't seem like enough. I was the sort of person who, if he'd been given a Nobel Prize, would say, "Thanks, but it's so disappointing that I couldn't be Emperor of the World." Harry Kondoleon's play Zero Positive has a line that I've often thought back to -- something like, "I used to have dreams and ambitions, but they got so tired and worn out, I took them out back one day and shot them."
It's probably naive and idealistic to hope that people who review books, write blogs, and write fiction do so because they like writing such things, regardless of the response they receive. Many of the writers I know and respect have a very professional attitude toward their work, but though I once was able to think that way, it's strange to me now. I wrote all sorts of things for so long without any sort of audience that the times when I've found an audience have been exhilarating, but also frightening and alienating. I expect it's true for many writers: that desire for communication coupled with horror at the effect of communicating. When I first realized people were paying attention to what I wrote here, it was paralyzing. But so many different discussions sprouted from it that the benefits made me suppress my anxieties. It's been thrilling to have the opportunity to put ideas out there and have people respond to them, either with agreement or such responses as, "What are you thinking?!" I still hate the fact that it's just as likely I'll look like an idiot in public as anything else, but I've spent enough time in the theatre to know that the tension between the fear of failure and the desire for success -- between fear of humiliation and the possibility of communication -- is a necessary tension, a force that propels us in directions we couldn't have anticipated.
I don't write a lot of fiction these days, because I find it the hardest thing in the world to write, but when I have a story I think might not be a complete waste of an editor's time, I try to submit it with the same attitude I had before anybody ever knew me as anything other than yet another name amidst all the others in the slush. Most editors still treat what I submit that way, and I'd be horrified if they did otherwise -- if they started feeling guilty for rejecting me because they knew my name from another context, I'd feel guilty for causing them guilt, and on and on it would go, until a puddle of misery covered the world. I've submitted to editors whose work (either as writers or editors) I've criticized, and though sometimes it's felt foolish, I nonetheless think a critic needs to stay open to criticism, too, and a rejection slip is a simple, clear kind of critique. Conversely, an aspiring writer might think that writing positive reviews will win them points with editors. I'm sure that in the history of writing there have been such cases, but my experience is that editors judge purely on whether they think what you submit is the sort of thing they want to commit time and money to publish. (I may be deluded about this, but it's a comforting delusion.)
At the risk of being ever more obvious and naive, the only thing I'd add to JJA's solid advice to aspiring writers thinking of entering the reviewing game, is: If you like doing that sort of thing, do it. If the idea of writing about what you read and making your opinions known seems repulsive to you, don't do it. If you want to do it because it will win you status, love, and eternal fame ... well, in that case, you might want to try auditioning for American Idol instead.

If it is any consolation, after 10 years Emerald City is still an experiment, and it is still getting harder month by month. But occasionally someone writes to me and says, "hey, I bought that book X you were raving about and you are right, it is really good." Somehow that makes it all seem worthwhile again.ReplyDelete
That was a great post, Matt. Very insightful and heartfelt -- which is the best kind of writing, whether it be fiction or nonfiction. When you put yourself out there, when you're willing to take risks and share a little bit of our own soul, people pay attention. No matter what kind of writing you do, keep doing that. Personally, when I start to feel uncomfortable writing something, when I start to worry that I'm baring a little too much, then I know I'm on to something.ReplyDelete
Of course, I still believe negative reviews are a waste of time. There's so much good stuff to read out there, why waste ink (real or otherwise) on something you don't want people to read or watch or listen to? Besides, I've always thought your best writing here is when you're not so much writing about whatever book or story you're reviewing, but about the themes or ideas that the pieces raise.
And I wouldn't worry too much about editors feeling guilty rejecting your fiction because they now know your name. Trust me on this one. If anything, it seems like most of them take it as an invitation to tell you what they really think. ;)
What about people who just want the free books? Eh?ReplyDelete

What used to be the backbone of Taylor County farmers' livelihoods is quickly becoming an overwhelming burden.
Over the past few years, it has become glaringly obvious that tobacco has gotten further and further away from being the viable cash crop it once was for many present and former burley growers.
While farmers have been preparing for this inevitability for several years now, it continues to be a difficult adjustment for some.

Generation of mouse models of myeloid malignancy with combinatorial genetic lesions using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing.
|Publication Type
|Journal Article
|Heckl, D., Kowalczyk MS, Yudovich D., Belizaire R., Puram RV, McConkey ME, Thielke A., Aster J. C., Regev A., and Ebert BL
|Genome sequencing studies have shown that human malignancies often bear mutations in four or more driver genes, but it is difficult to recapitulate this degree of genetic complexity in mouse models using conventional breeding. Here we use the CRISPR-Cas9 system of genome editing to overcome this limitation. By delivering combinations of small guide RNAs (sgRNAs) and Cas9 with a lentiviral vector, we modified up to five genes in a single mouse hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), leading to clonal outgrowth and myeloid malignancy. We thereby generated models of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with cooperating mutations in genes encoding epigenetic modifiers, transcription factors and mediators of cytokine signaling, recapitulating the combinations of mutations observed in patients. Our results suggest that lentivirus-delivered sgRNA:Cas9 genome editing should be useful to engineer a broad array of in vivo cancer models that better reflect the complexity of human disease.

Stocks to Watch: Hewlett-Packard, Aruba Networks, Frontline
By Mia Lamar
Among the companies with shares expected to trade actively in Friday's session are Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) Aruba Networks (ARUN) and Frontline (FRO).
Hewlett-Packard's first-quarter earnings declined 16% as the technology giant continued to see weaker sales in its core personal-computer business, though adjusted profits beat the company's expectations. Shares jumped 5%, to $17.94 premarket, as the latest period's revenue also exceeded Wall Street estimates and as H-P provided upbeat sales guidance for the current quarter.
Aruba swung to a fiscal second-quarter profit as the WiFi equipment maker reported strong revenue growth and fewer one-time charges. Shares rose 13% to $23.60 in premarket trading as revenue topped expectations and Chief Financial Officer Michael Galvin said the company generated a record $45.7 million in cash flow from operations.
Frontline's fourth-quarter loss narrowed as revenue improved but the company warned that overcapacity in the tanker market could lead to significant financial problems. Shares dropped 5.2% to $2.75 premarket as Frontline said its free cash position fell 14% to $137.6 million from a year earlier.
AVG Technologies (AVG) swung to a fourth-quarter profit as the Internet- and mobile-security provider recorded double-digit percentage gains from subscriptions and platform revenue. Shares jumped 9.1% to $14.32 premarket as adjusted profits beat the company's expectations and as it offered upbeat guidance for the year.
Weight-loss device maker EnteroMedics (ETRM) said it plans to offer an undisclosed number of shares and warrants to purchase stock. The company had about 41.7 million shares outstanding as of Dec. 31. Shares fell 15% to 95 cents premarket.
Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 38% as the chip maker's higher costs masked improved revenue. But shares rose 5.5% premarket to $9.99 after results came in ahead of expectations and the company forecast mostly upbeat fiscal first-quarter results.
Sourcefire (FIRE) fourth-quarter earnings fell 36% as higher expenses offset record revenue at the cyber-security firm. Still, shares jumped 12% to $47.18 premarket as revenue beat the company's estimates and sales projections for the first quarter surpassed Wall Street estimates.
Vivus (VVUS) said a European Medicines Agency committee has confirmed an earlier decision to recommend against approval of the pharmaceutical company's weight-loss drug Qsiva. Shares were down 4.5% to $12.30 premarket.
American International Group (AIG) swung to a fourth-quarter loss of $3.96 billion as it endured superstorm Sandy and took a charge tied to the sale of its plane-lease unit in the first earnings report since the U.S. government sold the last of its shares.
H.J. Heinz (HNZ) fiscal third-quarter earnings slipped 5.3% as the ketchup maker recorded a larger loss from discontinued operations, though organic sales continued to improve in emerging markets.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Nikon (7731.TO) have signed a patent-licensing agreement that covers certain Nikon cameras running Google (GOOG) Android operating platform.
WebMD Health (WBMD) swung to a fourth-quarter loss as the health-information provider was hurt by restructuring charges and slumping advertising and sponsorship sales. However, revenue topped expectations and the company gave a forecast that was somewhat more optimistic than analysts'.

Amid mounting speculation Saturday that Cal is discussing its football coaching vacancy with Louisiana Tech's Sonny Dykes, two of the people closest to him did little to cool the fervor.
But neither Kate Dykes, his wife, nor Spike Dykes, his father, would confirm the unsubstantiated internet reports.
Kate Dykes said her husband had been on the Louisiana Tech campus all weekend, hosting recruits. She said she didn't know if Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour, or anyone representing the school, had come to town. Asked if Cal had offered her husband a job, she said in a phone interview with this newspaper. "I don't think so. If they have, I don't know about it."
Spike Dykes, a longtime college coach, when asked if his son would be interested in Cal, said, "I would think so. Who wouldn't be in this business? It's a great job, a great conference."
The rumors about Cal and Dykes picked up steam after North Carolina State announced the hiring of Northern Illinois coach Dave Doeren on Saturday. Dykes had been a candidate for the N.C. State job.

The Real Jobs Report
The Dow is embracing 14000 like a long-lost relative, and the nation's front-page editors right now are scrambling to clear space for the markets story that's going to lead tomorrow. Wednesday's GDP report is long since forgotten.
This morning's jobs report is being credited as a catalyst by most, and especially the revisions that showed the nation added more jobs in 2011 and 2012 than previously thought.
But the headline numbers, the revisions, obscure the reality behind the jobs market, how the wounds suffered in the Crash of 2008 have not healed for far too many people.
Nothing quite captures the state of the nation like two stories in today's paper. The first is Lauren Weber's piece of Americans' retirement plans, or rather, the shreds of their retirement plans:
Nearly two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 45 and 60 say they plan to delay retirement, according to a report to be released Friday by the Conference Board. That was a steep jump from just two years earlier, when the group found that 42% of respondents expected to put off retirement.
The increase was driven by the financial losses, layoffs and income stagnation sustained during the last few years of recession and recovery, said Gad Levanon, director of macroeconomic research at the organization and a co-author of the report, which is based on a 2012 survey of 15,000 individuals.
Lauren stopped by the Markets Hub to discuss her piece, and the almost visceral reaction it sparked in readers.
The other is Michael Corkery's piece on Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, which is literally falling apart while the debt-addled city can't raise any money to address its crumbling infrastructure.
Wall Street's scars may have healed, but for millions of Americans the losses from the Crash of 2008 – whether it was from their mutual funds, or houses, or jobs or wages – are permanent. People who once dreamed of golden years are now hoping for at least gold-plated years.

Spark Check for spark at secondary coil wire and each spark plug wire using a spark tester. If spark is not present, continue with following tests. Check spark plug wire resistance on suspect wires. Resistance should be less than 25,000 ohms. Ignition Coil Power Source 1. On Civic, remove distributor cap to check power source directly at coil. On all models, disconnect ignition coil primary leads. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between ground and Black/Yellow wire terminal of ignition coil harness. 2. Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, check for open in Black/Yellow wire between coil and ignition switch. Ignitor Power Source Turn ignition off. Disconnect harness connector at distributor. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check for battery voltage between ground and Black/Yellow wire of harness. If voltage is not present, check for open in Black/Yellow wire between ignition coil and harness connector. If wire is okay, check ignition coil resistance (for internal short to ground). Ignitor Check Check TDC/CRANK/CYL sensor resistance values. See TACH PULSE SIGNAL . Check power sources. If no problems are found and spark is not present, replace ignitor. Ignition Coil Resistance (Accord & Prelude) 1. Remove primary and secondary leads from ignition coil. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between primary terminals "A" and "C" ("A" and "B" for Prelude) of ignition coil. See Fig. 2 . Resistance should be .6-.8 ohm at room temperature. 2. On Accord, check resistance between terminals "B" and "D" of ignition coil (tachometer circuit). Resistance should be about 2090-2310 ohms at room temperature. 3. On all models, check secondary resistance between terminal "A" and secondary output terminal (coil tower). See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table. Check for continuity between terminals "A" and "B" ("A" and "C" for Prelude). Continuity should exist. If readings are not within specification, replace coil.
