SAN ANDREAS - A Valley Springs woman turned herself in to authorities who were seeking her on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter after she learned through news stories that she was wanted for questioning, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Connie Ann Day, 54, reportedly turned herself in Thursday at the San Andreas office of the CHP and was booked into the Calaveras County Jail on suspicion of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident.
Motorcyclist Charles Bray, 57, of Cashmere, Wash., died before noon Wednesday after a small pickup inappropriately turned left in front of him on Highway 49 just south of San Andreas, according to the CHP.
CHP investigators used witness statements and images from surveillance cameras at businesses in San Andreas to publicize a description of the 2002 GMC Sierra pickup seen leaving the accident.

©2005 David Weber and John Ringo; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks
"Thoroughly satisfactory." (Publishers Weekly)
"Weber and Ringo excel!" (Library Journal)
"Great Ending To A Great Series"
"March Upcountry" thoroughly grabbed my interest in a fascinating well told story with intimately described characters. The first book is still the best of the series, however I think "We Few" comes in a close second. The two other books in between, though also excellent, tended to get bogged down in battle after battle after battle.
In "We Few" the authors do a good job in tying the story together and the book has just enough battle tactics mixed in with well developed characters to create a brilliant ending to a great story. I'm just sorry that it's over:-( Even though "We Few" is a good book on it's own, in my opinion you need to listen to the other books first in order to be able to "feel" and "visualize" everything that is going on.The series is definitely worth the four credits.
"...Can I have some more?"
The title of this review says it all. The ending was bittersweet but appropriate. I just love the characters and wish there were more books to follow. I gave this book 3 stars because it was so different from the preceding installments. I realize now that I was in love with the setting of scientifically advanced humans in such a primitive culture such as Marduk. I also missed a certain important character from the first 3 books.
"The Conclusion(?) to the Prince Roger Series"
We Few is the fourth and apparent concluding volume in the Prince Roger series from David Weber and John Ringo, though there have been rumours of a new Prince Roger book. Like the previous books in the series, We Few is excellent MilSF and a rousing good story. As an audio book, it works extremely well, with fast pace and good dialog. Stefan Rudnicki does his usual superb reading of the book, making the Audible edition even more appealing.
If you haven't read the earlier books in the series, start with March Upcountry. But be prepared to be drawn into a world that is difficult to put down and that will have you finding reasons to listen longer than you usually do. If you're a runner or other distance athlete this is the perfect series to encourage extra miles.
"A very good ending!"
This is the last book of the series, but can be a "Stand alone" also. Moves fast and keeps on going! Prince Roger has matured.
"I dont know what happened to this one!"
I have to say, this last book started well and ended with a flop for me. I really think the ending is disappointing and lacking. Personal opinion obviously, but i was hoping for more at the end of this saga.
"A satisfying conclusion"
I was surprised to read that some reviewers considered that the book was a quick ending to the series. To me it seemed well paced with plenty of action mixed with strategy. It is a fitting conclusion to the whole story, even though the door is open to a sequel.
"It Was good, fast finish"
I think some where in the last bits of writing this book these guys decided not to do any more of the series. so they finished the book a little fast. i mean prince roger really turned into a "King Arthure" for lack of a better example but when he gets home no one really cares, and its like save the day and here you go end book. the narrator does a great job across the series. its a good book just ended abruptly
"David Weber AND John Ringo"
Military Sci-Fi doesn't get much better. I have enjoyed the entire series although this is the first audio installment I have purchased. The storyline is great, but you'd probably do better to have read at least one of the previous books to enjoy this one.
The narration is excellent with fairly minor nuances in tone and pitch for the different characters.
I sure hope this isn't the last in this series. More Roger!
"Cherry on top!"
Wow! What a great find! Don't you just love it when you try the first book in a series and you turn out to LOVE IT? Well that is exactly what happened here with me. I could not wait to download the next book, and they are all nice a long (so you get a lot of 'bang for your buck.') All of these prince Roger books are the kind of 'long' that goes by fast. There is plenty of satisfying action and the character development if great too. You really get to love each character and see what happens to them. This book is a little different because it is set in the context of advanced space. But as always, the writting and action won't dissappoint! I highly recommend each and every book in this series…If you like the first book your will like them all.
"Great Conclusion"
After all the marching we finaly find Prince Roger ready to return home and claim his place. Well written with the possibility of more stories later.
"Good book - good series"
I very much enjoyed this "Prince Roger" series and have listened to it more than once.
For fans of epic science fiction this is a good buy - although the emphasis is more on low tech than high tech.

EAGLE, Colorado - An Avon woman was sentenced to six years in prison after admitting she was drunk when she started an altercation with her boyfriend, tripped and fell on her infant son, killing him.
Tanya Baca had pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter, Class 4 felony. She was sentenced Wednesday.
Her blood alcohol level was .209 at the time of the June 6 incident that killed her son, Uriah, said Bryan Lynch with the probation department.
Baca, dressed conservatively in a black pants suit, stood at the podium with a multi-page statement to read to the court. She cried for several moments, finally composing herself to speak to the court.
"I cannot begin to describe the feelings of loss, regret and heartache since the loss of my little angel," she said.
She told District Court Judge Tom Moorhead she had finished the restorative justice program and apologized to her family and boyfriend, the child's father.
"I'm sad to say my actions were unintentional but avoidable," she said. "This horrific tragedy has been so horrible for so many."
Judicial listening
Moorhead listened attentively to those who spoke for and against leniency for Baca.
"The job I perform today has nothing to do with vengeance or forgiveness," Moorhead said. "It is not simply a matter of me saying that I personally forgive you and that the sentence will be a certain sentence. Neither will I pass a sentence based on vengeance or revenge."
"The court is being asked to disregard the life that was lost because of the anguish you suffer," Moorhead said.
He said the court could not do that.
Moorhead indicated that the evidence did not support her story about drinking only two shots and a sip of her boyfriend's beer, adding that that story has not changed since the time of the child's death.
He pointed out that she was sentenced in February 2009 to two years probation, stemming from her domestic violence assault on her boyfriend. She violated those terms eight months later, Moorhead said. She was put back on probation and was required to complete 36 hours of domestic violence classes, which she did not, Moorhead said.
Less than a month later she violated her probation again and has continued to use alcohol, Moorhead said.
"You have ignored and disregarded all that, and a child has lots its life because of it," Moorhead said, handing down the six-year sentence.
The probation department recommended the maximum six-year sentence. Lynch cited state law, not emotion in making the recommendation.
"The probation department is unanimous in its recommendation in this case," Lynch said. "This is an incredibly tragic case and no sentence will ever mitigate the death of that infant."
"She was highly intoxicated and became involved in an altercation that resulted in the death of her infant son," Lynch said.
When she was initially questioned, she lied about the nature of the event being an accident and that alcohol was involved, Lynch said.
She says she consumed two shots and a few sips of beer. Her blood alcohol level .209, more than twice the legal limit.
"It's just not possible," Lynch said.
Lynch said she continued to deny she has a problem with alcohol, and if the death of her son is not sufficient to bring her to that realization, nothing will.
Assistant District Attorney Steve Mallory said Baca instigated the fight with her boyfriend, the infant's father, citing jealousy. That fight resulted in the blunt force trauma that fractured the infant son's skull and killed him, Mallory said.
"Even after the death of her child she refuses to admit to alcohol problems," Mallory said.
Show of support
Baca graduated Battle Mountain High School and was raised in Minturn. More than a dozen of Baca's friends and family members were in the courtroom, as they have been for each of her court appearances.
Her defense attorney, Reed Owens with the public defenders office, was passionate in arguing on Baca's behalf.
"There is nothing anyone can do to change what has happened. She cannot substitute her life for his, but two wrongs do not make a right," Owens said. "We cannot go back. These things haunt Ms. Baca. They carry on the guilt and agony, and a prison sentence will do nothing to honor that child."
Owens called it a tragic accident.
"It was a completely avoidable accident. She has acknowledged that it was her actions that caused this death," Owens said.
"Ms. Baca has made it clear that she still punishes herself. The punishment and guilt she lives with is more than or equal to anything the court could impose, and that her actions took the life of someone she loves," Owens said.
About the incident
About a half hour after midnight on the night of the incident, Avon police responded to the Vail Valley Medical Center to investigate injuries to a 3-month old Avon boy.
The child was airlifted from Vail to Children's Hospital in Aurora where medical personnel continued to try to save him, said Avon police Lt. Greg Daly.
"After advanced medical attempts to save the child, the child died," Daly said.
Baca gets credit for the 70 days she served in the Eagle County jail. She was freed last month on a $50,000 personal recognizance bond. She was returned to jail Wednesday.

Keep City Attorney Out Of Pension Plan in Case Stock Market Falls Again
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:11 a.m.
I am against allowing the Lakeland city attorney into the pension plan.
As a retiree of the city, every time we have gone to City Manager Doug Thomas and the city commissioners about a cost-of-living increase, as was standard for years, we were told the plan could not support it. They said we lost so much when the bottom fell out. They keep telling us the plan has not regained enough. However, I see in the paper, Thomas said, "The pension plan is strong." ["City Attorney Wants Traditional Pension," Feb. 12].
What happens if the stock market drops really low again?

Irish cooking is world class. Read that again — pick yourself off the floor if you have to.
It's about time the world knew what every Irish person who has ever left home does. Our incredible breads, our farm fresh vegetables, the fish that's fried the day it's caught, the floury spuds. They're world class. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.
But if your idea of Irish cooking is the bland, under seasoned and over-boiled efforts of our near neighbors to the east, celebrity chef and author Kevin Dundon will make you to think again.
The Irish seasonal repertoire, which comes fresh from farm to table, or direct from the sea to the frying pan, is easily as good and often better than anything you'll find in the top restaurants of the world, Dundon claims.
And he should know because for years he has been the head chef in some of the world's most important restaurants, cooking for heads of state like President George W. Bush and even Queen Elizabeth.
A prodigy from the start, at 22 Dublin-born Dundon's skill saw him appointed the youngest ever executive head chef at the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts in Canada in the 1980s and '90s.
Next month Dundon's popular television series Modern Irish Food will debut on PBS, taking viewers on a historic tour of Irish cooking over nine 30-minute episodes. The focus is on how easily traditional Irish dishes can be given a gourmet twist to turn them into something truly sensational.
"It's showcasing Ireland as a country, so it's a travel show as well as a cooking show," Dundon, 47, tells the Irish Voice.
"Irish food in America has been altered through the years and my show brings it back to the true Irish form of what Irish food is about. It's all about the ingredients, which should be as pure and natural as possible. You don't need to add 150 different spices to make something flavorful or to pop on a plate."
But how do you get started as a chef, especially in a country whose national dishes still aren't as well-known as they should be?
"My mum and my grandmother are really into good food and my mum's a great cook," Dundon explains. "I learned from her around the kitchen table. There was a huge passion for good food in the house and from that I became interested in cooking."
The point of Modern Irish Food is to introduce Americans to the food of Ireland, but it's also to get them sitting down together at the table rather than eating dinner at their desk or on their laps in front of the TV.
"For me family is everything," says Dundon. "I have a wife and three children and we sit down every night around the kitchen table. It's half an hour every day when we all sit there and talk as a family. What was done today and what will be done tomorrow? Food brings you to the table."
Returning to Ireland in 1994, Dundon became the executive chef at Dublin's famous Shelbourne Hotel. Three years later he bought and opened the deluxe Dunbrody Country House Hotel in Co. Wexford, an atmospheric 1830s mansion converted into a four star venue with an onsite cookery school attached.
Bono is a frequent visitor to the premises, as is comic/talk show host Graham Norton and pop singer Pink, who had such a good time staying there that she actually stopped her concert in Dublin last year to sing its praises from the stage.
"I've cooked for Roger Moore," Dundon reveals. "In fact he said I served him the best martini he'd ever had. Pink stayed with us last year and she stopped her concert to call Dunbrody the best hotel in the world. People were suddenly texting us to say, how did you get her to do that?"
For years Darina and Rachel Allen have been the twin pillars of Irish cooking, so it's interesting to see a man take on the same tasks they have and give it his own spin.
All three favor unpretentious, easy to reproduce recipes, but Dundon's well-known passion for architecture can be found in just how strikingly presentational his dishes look. Clearly he wants to ensure his dishes are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the taste buds.
"I want to help people get away from processed foods and remember how simple it is to cook really good food. You know what you're eating because you've prepared it yourself," he says.
Our lives got too busy and our mothers stopped passing on their knowledge to their kids, Dundon believes.
"Therefore there's a whole generation that can't cook. Now we're trying to coax people back into the kitchen. There's a huge interest in food again. Cooking schools are really big and popular."
His own is doing well. Dunbrody House Hotel and Cookery School opened in May of 1997 and was an instant hit.
"In Dunbrody we examine the kind of foods they cooked as far back as the early 1800s. We raise our own animals, we fish, and everything we produce is locally sourced. All the ingredients that are in the Modern Irish Food are in your local stores. You can make this, in other words."

Newly crowned zombie slayers Ian, Kendra, and PJ are on a family vacation in the tropics when they are warned about a cursed island called Isla Hambrienta. What none of them expect to find is a zombie colony much stronger than the one they defeated on the mountain—and another presence on the island that's way more dangerous than the creatures they're supposed to turn to dust.
Fans of creepy books like Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman will love Christopher Krovatin's wild stories about zombies and the kids who defeat them.
Last time, it was all an accident—a class nature trip gone horrifically wrong. One minute, Ian, Kendra, and PJ were lost in a mountain forest, and the next, they were facing down a horde of flesh-eating zombies. In order to survive, the gang had to outwit the undead and figure out a way to banish them from our world. Luckily, they succeeded . . .
. . . but this time, there are no accidents. Evil seeks out the newly christened Gravediggers, and they are more than ready to fight back. (Or so they think.)
Ian, Kendra, and PJ are on a family vacation in the tropics when they are warned about an island called Isla Hambrienta, where a huge cruise liner sank off the coast years ago. The karma out there is so dark and ominous, mystical Warden O'Dea tags along as they investigate. What none of them expects to find is a zombie colony much stronger than the one they defeated on the mountain—and another presence on the island that's way more dangerous than the disgusting creatures they're supposed to turn to dust.
Readers who crave action, frights, and thrills will love this second book in the Gravediggers series.

OAKLAND -- Tucked away behind a Walmart in an industrial park near Oakland's airport, the evangelical Christian college where former nursing student One Goh allegedly killed seven people Monday is so small it shares space with a spa and other businesses.
Police Chief Howard Jordan said the school is closed indefinitely.
Oikos University offers an eclectic range of programs aimed mostly at Korean students, including vocational nursing, music and theology, and requires them to attend church services and follow a strict code of conduct.
"We believe (in) the existence of a personal, malevolent being called Satan who acts as tempter and accuser," the school's website states, "for whom the place of eternal punishment was prepared, where all who die outside of Christ shall be confined in conscious torment for eternity."
The school's founder and president, the Rev. Jongin Kim of San Leandro, said shortly after the shootings that he was too upset to talk. Later, at Kim's home, a woman rushed away, saying, "I'm shocked, just very shocked. I have to go there."
Neighbors say they have lived there a while -- one said at least 10 years -- but they don't know the Kims because they generally keep to themselves.
Kim is affiliated with the Praise God Korean Church in Oakland and is listed as the president of California Ezra Bible Academy in Sunnyvale, which offers theology, divinity and ministry degrees.
"Our main goal is to foster spiritual Christian leaders who abide by God's intentions and to expand God's nation through them," Kim is quoted on Oikos' website as saying.
The university's religious mission is difficult to pinpoint, said one theologian.
"It would seem to be evangelical protestant, but doesn't seem to have a relationship with any one denomination," said Arthur Holder, dean and vice president for academic affairs at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley.
He had not heard of Oikos before the shootings, "but there are a lot of schools I haven't heard of," he said after looking at the school mission statement on its website.
The 8-year-old school employs about four dozen faculty members, many part time, such as nursing director Ellen Cervellon, who also teaches at Cal State East Bay. Cervellon did not return messages. More than a dozen other faculty members also didn't return messages.
The university was licensed by the state's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education, which regulates for-profit and vocational schools, on May 13, 2011, said bureau spokesman Russ Heimerich. The school also is accredited by the state Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians, he said.
According to federal records, the college is allowed to accept international students. The school's latest federal tax return showed that it took in $996,000 in tuition in 2010, with total revenues of $1.01 million.
Four other people who, along with Kim, make up its board of directors did not return messages.
More than a dozen police officers guarded the school on Edgewater Drive on Monday evening. A sign in front of its building advertised office space for rent.
Staff writers Angela Hill, Eric Kurhi and Danny Willis contributed to this report.

I can see a large wild trout sipping small mayflies off the surface of the gin-clear water just ahead of where I am standing. The Town of Truckee is no more than 8 miles away as the crow flies, but I wouldn't know it. I am completely immersed among the tall conifer stands, trembling meadow grasses and surrounding peaks, and the sound the of Little Truckee River flowing lazily from Stampede Dam on its course to the slack waters of Boca Reservoir.
The Little Truckee River between Stampede and Boca reservoirs has always been a favorite spot for local anglers. Short in length — only 3.5 miles — and highly technical in its demands on the angler, the "LT" is unique and beloved by anglers around the country for good reason. A 12-pound wild brown trout was landed here this past October. The LT is no longer stocked with hatchery trout, and since its conversion to a special-regulation water in 1999, it has emerged as one of the most popular and productive wild trout fisheries in the state. The LT is nationally recognized and visited, bringing good tourism money to the North Tahoe area, and attracting sportsmen looking to pursue some of the state's largest wild trout in one of the most scenic Northern Sierra meadow settings.
Clearly, there are places where this resource can be improved, and those who fish the LT the most know this all too well. There is a classic saying among anglers who fish the river, "90 percent of the fish live in 10 percent of the water." Since construction of Stampede Dam in 1970, the downstream flow regime has been modified such that annual low flows are higher and annual peak flows are lower than they were historically. This regulated or controlled flow regime altered the natural river processes and, in most cases, impaired aquatic habitat. Historically, large floods provided abundant spawning gravels, recruited large wood and scoured deep pools, which all led to a dynamic channel environment.
Today, in the absence of these processes and functions, the river no longer resembles a natural channel. In the mid to late 1970s a series of habitat enhancement projects were completed, which are large components of the burgeoning fishery we all enjoy today. However, where habitat enhancement has yet to occur, fish populations continue to suffer, and approximately 1.5 miles of the Little Truckee River between Boyington Mills Campground upstream to the Nevada/Sierra County line is in desperate need of instream structures that provide for juvenile and adult trout habitat. A historic field survey of the Little Truckee River, conducted by California Department of Fish and Game and the US Forest Service, supports this.
More recent survey work completed by these two agencies validated the historic field survey findings and anecdotal observations by dedicated anglers and local guides; wild trout currently thrive in deeper water with large structures, and conversely, fish are low in numbers or absent where structure and depth are deficient.
The Truckee Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the US Forest Service are looking to change all of this through a large-scale habitat enhancement project for this section of the Little Truckee River. Trout Unlimited (TU) contracted the services of Balance Hydrologics, Inc., which maintains an office in Truckee, to complete a preliminary assessment of the geomorphology and hydrology of the river and develop advanced conceptual designs that TU and the Forest Service can now use to implement a restoration habitat enhancement project, possibly as early as this fall. The Tahoe National Forest is currently working on the NEPA requirements of the project.
One key element of the restoration approach is the introduction of large woody debris and boulders, to help mimic some of the structures that were naturally recruited before the dam existed. Under the existing flow regime, these structures will be strategically placed to naturally create the deeper and more complex habitats this part of the river lacks. This project's primary goal is to increase the number and diversity of wild trout in the system by enhancing some of the habitat that supports all life-histories of wild trout. In turn, this project may increase fishing opportunities that will help to disperse the concentrated angling impacts many visitors currently experience.
Trout Unlimited is excited to be leading the Little Truckee River Fish Habitat Improvement Project, which we feel will enhance outdoor recreation dollars in our community and make a great fishery beloved by many, even better.
— David Lass is the Northern California field director for Trout Unlimited, and Brian Hastings a geomorphologist/hydrologist for Balance Hydrologics, Inc. Both maintain offices in Truckee.

HARRISVILLE - Ritchie Regional Health Center, with centers in Harrisville, Ellenboro, West Union, St. Marys and Parkersburg, received the National Committee for Quality Assurance Level II Patient Centered Medical Home 2011 certification.
The national committee is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health care quality, a press release states.
The committee accredits and practices in areas of performance and provides health care quality information for consumers, purchasers, health care providers and researchers.
Ritchie Regional Health Center is the first in the state to receive this recognition based on 2011 guidelines, officials said.
In Wood County, the center operates school-based health care centers at Jefferson Elementary Center and Parkersburg South High School that are open to students and community members.
A Patient Centered Medical Home is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient's family, officials said.
The certification demonstrates an organization's commitment to ensuring access to and quality of health care for patients, officials said.
"The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of 21st century primary care that combines access, teamwork and technology to deliver quality care and improve health," said NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane. "NCQA's PCMH 2011 Recognition shows that Ritchie Regional Health Center has tools, systems and resources to provide their patients with the right care at the right time."
To receive this certification, RRHC had to meet standards and processes of high quality care and measures, officials said.
In 2011, the center served about 10,000 patients through the six community health and school based centers.
"This recognition is the effort of not just one, but many team members at our organization," Bill Snider, CEO of the center.
"While our mission really says it all, the recognition we have achieved through NCQA exemplifies our true commitment to quality, excellent care."

defoe, teddy & keane!
well done to defoe for recently passing robbie keane & now teddy sheringham on spurs all time goalscorers list! he is now 8th!
everytime he passes a player im going to annoy u all by starting a thread on it!
didnt see much of teddy. but he looked classy in old clips!
i liked keane in his younger days. still a clever player but i thought it was a mistake to buy him back as we had seen the best of him.
will always love his celebration thou!
next up for defoe is gilzean. iv heard of him but obviously he is well before my time!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Alan Gilzean was the prototype Berbatov..but with class! Very slick and stylish, great in the air (I think he practically invented the flick header...I don't remember near post corners before he came about (probably because I was too young! ;-) ), but he'd eat them up all day long. Wore No. 10 I think (correct me if I'm wrong gang!).
Oh and another good win tonight (what the hecks Bale doing scoring own goals...I thought the idea of him on the wing was to keep him away from our goal (chuckle...kidding!).

sounds like i missed out not seeing teddy & gilzean!
teddy isnt his real name is it?
gilzean a prototype berbatov with class, i like it!
so he wouldnt have left us to join the best team around at that time (liverpool im guessing?).
Evening fellow Yids.
Whiles't were chatting about all our great strikers,i thought it might be appropriate to throw GARY LINEKER into the equation.
Must have one of the best CVs in english football.
FABONGRASSS FABONGRASSS Dec 4, 2012 16:23 Flag
Sheringham was head and shoulders above the other two.
I suppose if you hang around long enough you'll eventually surpass the goal tally of most.
Defoe is pretty poo after all.
Is he not?
- 1 Reply to FABONGRASSS
Sheringham is a very different player to Defoe, IMO he is far better than both Defoe or Keane, but a direct comparison between Daffy and Teddy isn't fair, different players, different roles.
SB, Teddy's real name is Edward.
Defoe has his limitations, most of us could admit to that, however I rather have Defoe than Gervinho/Chamak/Giroud or Poldi, although Lukas is a much better player than the others he seems to pretty limited anywhere other than Koln! surely you, an educated footballing man would agree? no?! hey, this season he has been less than half as effective as Daffy. Poo indeed!
Why is that Wenger buys players who play off a striker or 'in the hole' and then persist with starting them wide? Poldi, Arshavin, AOC!
Why does Wenger believe he is beyond question? his recent interview was bizarre in the extreme! Whats his reasoning behind making a statement like that? any idea?!
Where does your Yiddish brethren think we'll finish this season in relation to your goons?
In summary no he is not poo! maybe your are projecting your faecal insecurities onto an inform striker who is only 1 goal away from being as poo as your previously beloved Van Persie, but at least your a better balanced team without him- ha ha, sorry I couldn't resist! How can goons delude themselves by stating you're better off without RVP?
What would you give to get him back?
What are your thoughts on Walcott leaving in Jan? Sagna, looks to be moving on as well! reckon they'll be replaced? can you afford to let them go? Jenkinson was torn a new one by Michu at the W.E. is he ready to be your 1st choice RB?
So many questions for you Fab, do you think you can answer them all?- I bet you don't!
It wont annoy us SB, because it will mean he's scoring, so the more totals he passes, GREAT. Interesting you mention Teddy, because I rated him as one of the best front men England have ever produced. If he had had pace, he would of been a world great IMO, but if ever a player played with his brain, it was Teddy. I know you like Daffy, but believe me if he had Sherry as a partner, he probably would be near the top of our all time scorers. { wonder if other's have different opinions ).

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--Naomi Dagen Bloom may take issue with this article.
In her blog, A Little Red Hen, she just might express the objection she raised in an e-mail exchange: that the writer isn't over 60.
If she does, it will be just another way that this 72-year-old blogger advocates for other women of her generation, who are rapidly making up for lost online time.
Since launching her site in March 2006 Bloom has been covering composting for urban dwellers, the state of U.S. politics, the risks of HIV for women over 50. Recently the retired psychotherapist, who lives in Harlem, directed readers to a list of questions that women over 55 should ask their doctors.
Not long ago she shared the story of the knitting contest she did not win. Apparently the Yarn Garden, of Portland, Ore., returned her carefully packaged submission: a guide for knitting your very own pouch for a single, sealed condom.
Women over 65 are the least likely of any U.S. group to be online, according to the Washington-based Pew Internet Project's December 2005 study of how women use the Internet. Only 21 percent of women 65 and older use the Internet, compared to 34 percent of men in the same age group. And older women are far less likely to be online users than women between the ages of 18 and 29, of whom 86 percent use the Internet.
Ronni Bennett, a 66-year-old retired journalist who set up a blog in the late 1990s to collect her aging research, is one of the pioneers. "I'd collected all this research--thousands of pages and tons of books and magazine articles--and I wanted a place to organize it. So I put it on a blog."
Hangout Site
Today Bennett's site, Time Goes By, is something of a hangout for bloggers 50 and up.
Bennett says "elderbloggers"--her term--are like any other group meeting online.
Visitors to her site use the comments section to share retirement tales. People write about what they did earlier in their lives, travel plans, turning skills into income opportunities and reclaiming their identities from the demands of a career.
She estimates that 250 sites join hers in the online community of elderbloggers, with women vastly outnumbering men.
In a survey of her contributors and visitors from a few weeks ago, Bennett found 40 percent saying they will continue to blog indefinitely. Another 36 percent describe themselves as "passionate" or "addicted" to blogging.
Women in their 60s and over are going far beyond text entries.
My Mom's Blog by Millie Garfield, for instance, is loaded with graphics transmitted by the 82-year-old's son Steve Garfield, a videographer. "From his computer he puts up the photos that relate to my post," she said. "I can't do that."
Garfield is one of the oldest bloggers, according to the Ageless Project, a Web site that Joe Jenett, 57, who designs sites for networking, has maintained since 2001.
From Medicare to Video Rants
Garfield's blogs focus on Medicare, winter life in Florida, movie reviews and rants about consumer products that don't deliver.
In a series of "The I Can't Open It Videos," she displays a product that doesn't work and son Steve comes to help. In the video "Fabulous" she demonstrates why a spray cleaner does not live up to that name. She squeezes the trigger, the cleaner bubbles at the nozzle, and nothing happens.
Then she and her son switch places with the camera and she films him while he explores what's wrong with the bottle.
Garfield says she and some of her friends are keeping up with each other through instant messaging and social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace.
Recently she signed on to Twitter, a site for "micro-bloggers" based on an in-house corporate communication service. It lets users send each other "tweets"--or short updates up to 140 characters--that get posted on blogs and broadcast to e-mail groups.
Technical Outreach
While Garfield has her son to help her, Sue Katz, a 60-year-old writer, relies on Internet tools, self-instruction and workshops.
Katz says she never uses her blog--Sue Katz: Consenting Adults, which focuses on sexuality--to discuss personal matters. "If I did I'd end up whining about wasting eight hours trying to reach a real technician at Dell or about the scratches on my library's talking books."
"When I first started out, I researched the various blog providers until I found the one most geared to people who know nothing about HTML," she says, referring to hypertext markup language, the code used to format Web sites.
By using the blogging service Typepad she said she now feels confident adding graphics. Like Garfield, she uses clips from Flickr and YouTube on her blog.
"For my New Year's blog this January, I found a brilliant clip of the tap-dancing Nicholas Brothers as teenagers and I posted it as a present to my readers--as a counter to all the bad news in the world."
Katz doesn't believe that women over 60 need separate conferences or classes on Web technology. But she said many need help boosting their traffic and learning how to make a living from their blogs.
Last year Katz attended a workshop at Boston's annual Women Action and the Media conference, which focuses on developing networks for women to focus on social change. She heard about a variety of tools and communities that bloggers can attach to their sites to gain attention, like Digg and Del.icio.us.
Digg is an online community where participants can post videos, blogs or news and the community votes on what they like best. Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking Web site to maintain your favorites in one place.
"That's one of the great things about the Net, that it bridges difference and connects people in unexpected ways," Katz said.
Anna Limontas-Salisbury, who turns 43 this year, lives in Brooklyn. She is currently attending the CUNY Graduate School for Journalism where she is learning to tell stories across the media spectrum. You can find her first storytelling attempts in video and podcast at the New York City News Service. This summer she will be sharpening her video skills with the production crew at Brooklyn Independent TV- Brooklyn Community Access Television.

January 9, 2006
Police in North Augusta spent Monday looking for clues in what they call a murder-suicide. They say a father killed his two young sons, then himself. The bodies were found Sunday, along with a videotape confession from the dad.
Police found the bodies Sunday night around 6:30 p.m. The boys' mother asked police to check on the house when her sons were late coming back from a weekend visitation with their dad. Police found all three bodies together, in bed, under the covers.
Police say 7-year-old Gunner Young and his brother 4-year-old Ryker were killed by their father Sunday in this North Augusta home. The boys' parents recently separated. The father, Terrell Young, had a weekend visitation with his sons.
"He was out playing basketball with them on Saturday. We waved and blew the horn and then when we left and everything was just normal," said Jan Weikel, neighbor.
Things seemed normal on the outside, but on the inside something else was happening. Police say some time on Sunday Terrell killed his boys and then shot himself in the head. Investigators say Terrell left behind a videotape saying why he was about to kill everyone, but police would not release those details.
"Very precious family. After we moved here we just fell in love with them," Weikel said.
Jan Weikel lives across the street from the family. She knew the family well and says these boys were their parents' whole life.
"They loved them. They spent every moment with them," Weikel said.
The boys' mother owns Karyn Grace Salon on Furys Ferry Road in Martinez, which we found closed.
Karyn's sons were involved at their church, First Baptist of North Augusta, and played community sports. Now so many who knew them are trying to understand why.
"This was a very nice neighborhood. The kids were well liked. The family was well liked. It comes as a shock to a lot of people," said North Augusta Police Chief Lee Wetherington.
Grief counselors were at Mossy Creek Elementary School on Monday, where 7-year-old Gunner was in second grade. Meanwhile, we're waiting on the autopsy of the bodies, which will reveal how the boys died.

I have been busy with work and off of intensive training. My race is in a week and a few days so I figured I better get in at least a brick or two. Today was my first brick ever and wow. I did a flat sprint ride on my bike around 15 miles average 20 mph and 70rpm roughly. Then I setup a mock T2 on my porch. Got off my bike and my body was amping (I think I rode a little hard toward the end of my ride) I found it slightly hard to get on my running shoes in that state. Once my shoes were on I was off. My first mile was brutal, my legs literally were like noodles, I heard people refering to legs being heavy but I had the opposite feeling of being weightless. My breathing was also I little on edge for the first mile. I slowly settled in to my groove and my legs felt fine, I finished up my run a little slower than normal at around 24 minutes for 3.5miles. What can I work on for a better smoother bike to run, I stretched out my legs comming in from my ride and had no cramps on the run, but are there any other magical tips? Did I simply not have a smart ride? On race day do I want to ride until I drop or think about overall race pace? Thanks.
Great run for your first brick, just under a 7 minute pace, no worries there, you'll definitely be ranked among the top for running. The only thing to do to speed up your T time is practice. Speed laces help, as well as race number belts. Don't sit down during T2. Remember too that in the race you will be going harder than you have in training, regardless of the effort you think you are putting out in training. Don't forget you will have just swam and biked, so don't be upset if your run times are a little slower. I do race pace bricks weekly through out my training regimen. Pretty close to the times you mentioned, 6:45 pace for a hilly run(3 miles) after averaging 20-22 on a hilly route. What happened in the race that I ran over an 8 minute mile? Race intensity, I thought I was simulating race pace, but was nowhere close, so be weary of that. If you are averaging more than expected on the bike leg, slow it down a bit, you will get a better run and most likely be able to make up for and then some, the time you will save running as opposed to getting a fast bike split. Good luck!
you do have to leave something in the tank for the run but sounds like you did that. the noodle legs is because of the sudden change in blood flow from cycling to running muscles. it'll get easier w/ more brick training but you can try going into a higer RPM the last 1/4 mile or so and getting out of the saddle (kinda like running on the bike for the last 1/4 mile) to get your body ready to transition better. good luck and have fun
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Thanks for the help guys. I think I am only going to have time for one more brick before my race. My goal is to finish not place so I am not overly concerned. I'll let you know next weekend how it went.
Todays brick was way better. Faster run. Legs felt solid. Ride went good. Thanks for all of the help guys. I am so stoked on my race Saturday.

Relief for Hurricane Katrina victims continues in our area, but Tuesday's free lunch at May Park hit a small snag. News 12 is on your side to sort through the donation drive.
A rare sight early in the morning, competing restaurants standing side-by-side in the name of hurricane relief. Eight restaurants were cooking dozens of meals for evacuees staying in the Augusta area.
Odile Jones is one of those evacuees chased from her home on the west side of New Orleans. She has no idea how long she'll be in town. She arrived at May Park at noon expecting one of those hot meals. But lunchtime was a bit later than expected.
Three other hurricane evacuees arrive shortly after 12:15. Fed up with waiting, however, they eventually left around 12:43. But Jones sticks it out, waiting by the front door hoping lunch will arrive shortly.
And it does eventually arrive at 12:52 p.m.
"We had to wait on a few restaurants and everyone was cooperative and we got the job done and came straight here," said Rocky Olguin, volunteer.
There's a lot to choose from including buckets of chicken fingers, T-Bonz and pasta. That allows Jones and one other evacuee to have a healthy portion. At 1 o'clock, they were the only ones getting a free lunch.
Another organizer from Friday's says a bus eventually stopped by to allow more evacuees to eat. Here's the plan for the rest of the week and next week: the mayor's office says lunch will be served for evacuees at May Park at noon. A bus will take evacuees from the Ramada Inn, where many are staying, to May Park to eat.

Should Chicago, New York be taunting over tallest buildings?
The battle over the tallest building in the U.S.
Official word came Tuesday that New York's One World Trade Center would be taller than Chicago's Willis Tower (though not nearly as tall as Dubai's), and a war of words erupted between New York City and Chicago residents and politicians. We asked people on our U-T San Diego Facebook page if this was an argument the two cities should be having. Meet this week's socialites. Their comments were among our favorites.
Christopher L. Faddis USN
Dubai wins.
Jayne Mansfield
I think we have bigger things to worry about
Scott Chasen
Chicago is # 1
Tracy Kristensen
seriously who gives a %^&*....bottom line...WTC trumps...its a F-You to the terrorists....

I hope neither of them become a target

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants right-hander Chad Gaudin has been charged with lewdness after an incident at a Las Vegas hospital in January. Gaudin's arrest, first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, led to charges of open and gross lewdness, a misdemeanor.
According to the police report obtained by the Review-Journal, Gaudin appeared to be drunk at about 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 27 when he approached a 23-year-old woman who was lying on a gurney in the emergency room at Desert Springs Hospital. Gaudin allegedly told the woman "she was gorgeous" and touched her face and breast.
Approached by this newspaper after the Giants' loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday, Gaudin said: "My lawyer issued a statement. I've got no further comment."
Gaudin's attorney, Dominic Gentile, released a statement saying the 30-year-old Gaudin was examined in the emergency room "while experiencing symptoms believed to be related to acute renal failure due to a condition known as rhabdomyolysis."
"The symptoms included confusion, dehydration and loss of orientation and/or consciousness," Gentile said. "Although (Gaudin) has been accused of improperly touching another hospital patient while on the premises that night, there are differing and exonerating versions of what occurred that have been reported by eye witnesses."
Gentile said Gaudin "denies any unlawful conduct and has been cooperating with the authorities," and is confident the matter will be resolved in his favor.
The Review-Journal reported that a paramedic saw what was happening and told Gaudin to stay away from the woman, but Gaudin refused. Hospital security reportedly held down Gaudin until police arrived and the arresting officer wrote that "Gaudin was still yelling and using profanity" when police arrived.
"I asked Gaudin several times how he ended up at the hospital and each time he told me that he didn't know," the officer wrote in his report. "Gaudin appeared to be intoxicated. He had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, trouble standing still, obeying commands, an odor of alcoholic beverages and couldn't repeat his house number, where he lives, the same way twice in a row."
The report came as a shock in the Giants clubhouse, where several players said they had not heard a word about the arrest until the news hit Twitter just before Wednesday's game.
When healthy, Gaudin has been a shot in the arm for the Giants pitching staff. Signed in December, Gaudin has appeared in 23 games this season, posting a 2.44 ERA. He is 2-0 with a 2.86 ERA in five starts. Gaudin will make his scheduled start in San Diego on Friday, manager Bruce Bochy said.
"It doesn't affect our club at all," Bochy said after Wednesday's loss. "I don't really have a comment on that. I just heard of it a few minutes ago. It has zero to do with how we played today or what's going on with our club."

Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. -- Tiger Woods stared at the divot in disbelief, then he spat in disgust in its direction.
A brilliant day at The Players Championship came to a frustrating end for Woods, who carded a 5-under-par 67 but chunked a chip shot behind the par-4 18th green to spoil a bogey-free round.
"This is a tricky golf course," he said. "It doesn't take much to make a bogey around here."
Woods should know; his stumble at the finish cost him his first round without a bogey in 56 tries at TPC Sawgrass.
It was, however, Woods' first sub-70 opening round in 15 appearances at TPC. Woods, the world's No. 1 player, sits in a six-way tie for fourth place.
He is a shot behind two players, including Zach Johnson and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who has missed the cut in his three previous visits to TPC Sawgrass.
"I actually didn't have a great session on the range before I went out to play," said McIlroy, whose last win on PGA Tour was the 2012 BMW Championship on Sept. 9. "Once I got on the golf course, I felt a lot more comfortable."
McIlroy, Woods and everyone else is chasing surprise leader Roberto Castro, who tied the course record with a 9-under 63. The second-year tour pro hails from Georgia Tech, the alma mater of 2012 TPC winner Matt Kuchar, but he joins Hall of Famers Greg Norman and Fred Couples for the record low round at TPC Sawgrass.
Castro stiffed a 9-iron to within a foot of the hole on the island green on the par-3 17th hole. On the 18th, where Woods stumbled, Castro hit a 4-iron to four feet for his third straight birdie on his opening nine holes.
With Woods yet to tee off, Castro had the crowd's attention when an eagle on the par-5 second hole moved him to 7-under. Castro's best finish so far in 2013 was a tie for 16th in Phoenix, where he also opened with a 65. He carded a 63 in the first round of the Humana Challenge in January, but he finished tied 37th.
Even if Castro hangs around, all eyes will be on Woods and McIlroy, who are pursuing the $1.71 million first prize. It is the PGA's largest purse.
Woods' 67 positions him well entering the second round of the sole big-time tournament where he has yet to leave an indelible mark. Since his sole win at TPC, in 2001, Woods has just one top-10 finish -- an eighth-place showing in 2009.
The day ended with 32 players in the 60s and 63 golfers under par among the 144-man field, including James Hahn, the former Cal golfer and Alameda resident. He carded a 2-under 70. Phil Mickelson finished his opening round even-par 72.
McIlroy has two top-10 finishes in his past three starts, but sandwiched a tie for 25th at the Masters between them. McIlroy's bogey-free 66 was his best opening round in seven stroke-play events this year.
Singh walks in peace: One spectator wore fake deer antlers. Another yelled about eating venison. And a group of guys shouted, "Stay off the spray, Vijay." But for the most part, there was little public reaction to Vijay Singh's lawsuit filed against the PGA Tour during the opening round of The Players Championship. Singh (first-round 74) sued the PGA Tour on Wednesday for exposing him to "public humiliation and ridicule" during a 12-week investigation into his use of deer antler spray. The tour dropped its case last week.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

A deputy stopped a car for speeding through a construction site in Avon on May 21.
Upon contacting the 24-year-old driver, the officer smelled marijuana and asked if there was any in the car. The man handed over a glass pipe. The deputy asked when he last smoked marijuana and the man said it had been at least two hours.
The man agreed to perform voluntary roadside tests and passed all of them. However, a search of the vehicle turned up two glass jars of marijuana and a butterfly knife with a 5-inch blade and brass knuckles on the handle.
The knife was confiscated and the man was warned for possessing an illegal weapon. He was cited for possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia and speeding in a construction zone.
Residents on Cottonwood Road in Eagle-Vail called deputies on May 21 after an intoxicated 21-year-old woman drove her SUV onto their lawn. The residents took the woman's car keys out of the ignition and she ran off when she heard deputies were called.
Officers soon found the woman hiding nearby and she told them another man had been driving. She couldn't remember exactly what he looked like but was about 6 feet tall, she said. A deputy asked how tall she was and she said 5-foot-3.
A witness said he saw the woman in the driver seat and didn't see anyone else. A deputy also noted that the driver seat was positioned too far forward for anyone near 6 feet tall to have been driving.
It turned out the woman's driver license had already been revoked for a previous case of drunken driving, in which she refused to comply with a chemical test as required by law. She once again refused all tests and was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a revoked license.
A deputy stopped a car on Highway 6 in Edwards because it had expired license plates.
The 42-year-old driver said she knew her plates were expired and didn't have a license or insurance, either, due to a DUI. She said she had to take alcohol classes to get her license back and driving was the only way to get to the classes. She was arrested for driving with a revoked license.
• The side window of a car was broken while it was parked on Schoolside Street in Gypsum in mid-May.
• The lock on a storage unit on U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle-Vail was pried open between May 5 and 16.
• Gates and doors were left open and locks were pried off of a business storage facility on U.S. Highway 6 in Eagle between May 10 and 17.
• About 200 steel T-posts were stolen from a pallet on Buckhorn Valley Boulevard in Gypsum between May 11 and 15. The posts were worth a total of about $1,200. A 12-inch blind cap worth $40 was also stolen.
• A wallet was stolen from a car parked outside a Gypsum convenience store on May 22.
• A propane bottle and guage worth $40 was stolen from a camper in Red Cliff on May 22.

10 Stocking Stuffers Under $10
Xtina has said that she loves her new curves and doesn't care what other people think of them. She also kinda alluded to criticism about her curvy figure while promoting her new album, Lotus. "This album represents a celebration of the new me," she said, "and to me the lotus has always represented this unbreakable flower that withstands any harsh weather conditions in its surroundings, that withstands time and remains beautiful and strong throughout the years." Amen, sister.
When Lena's pantsless red-carpet look sparked a media firestorm this past fall, the Girls creator fired right back: "I don't think a girl with tiny thighs would have received such no-pants attention. I think what it really was about... 'Why did you all make us look at your thighs?' My response is, get used to it because I am going to live to be 100, and I am going to show my thighs every day till I die."

It's said that there's strength in numbers. After enduring physical and emotional abuse off and on for seven years, JoHanna Gratz found strength enough to break away from that relationship and discovered a way to help others who've experienced abuse.
JoHanna, a freelance book editor, and her husband, Evan, high school pastor at Community Presbyterian Church, moved to Danville in 2010.
"I got connected with a counselor here who's truly been a godsend to me," JoHanna said. "I've been crocheting since I was 9, and she encouraged me to start making scarves for other people who are victims of abuse. Evan helped me come up with the name, Scarves for Strength, and we put up a website, and I've been making scarves ever since."
Since starting in January, JoHanna has sent out 75 scarves, she said. At first, it took her a lot longer, but now she can make a scarf in about six hours, working off and on.
"I keep it pretty simple, using basic stitches, just a double-crochet," JoHanna said. "I try to use a couple of different types of yarn, a fancy one and a plain one -- mohair or angel hair with a basic acrylic or polyester."
Each scarf is 24 inches long, about 12 inches wide, and embellished with a fabric yo-yo flower attached with a button or bead. When finished, she carefully wraps the scarf in tissue and seals the package with a sticker that contains a note and a Bible verse such as Romans 12:21: "Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."
"It's my favorite prayer. There are so many negative things in the world; it's a good reminder to me to be positive and get out there and make things better," JoHanna said.
She was raised in Minnesota and received a bachelor's degree in history and religion from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn. She met Evan at a youth ministry "Tentmakers" leadership training course shortly before she moved to Seoul, South Korea, to teach English to preschoolers. They stayed in touch online and, following her return to the U.S., they were married in 2007.
After a recent article about JoHanna's efforts appeared in All You magazine, she received 80 requests for the scarves in three weeks. The requests are from women and children in New York, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other states too numerous to list.
"I've just been doing everything myself," she said. "The response I've been getting has been great, but it's an eye-opener. Most of the women tell me long stories about their experience. They feel really alone and some have never told anyone what they're going through. I don't even know them, but they feel safe with me, I guess."
The average cost per scarf is $15, including materials and postage (but not, of course, counting the hours of labor). JoHanna said she would welcome donations to help defray the costs and would love some help from other knitters and crocheters, since she has 80 recent requests to fill.
Scarves for Strength is in the process of attaining 501(c)3 status as a nonprofit. For further information, visit the website at http://www.scarvesforstrength.com.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays and be safe.

Call it a game of musical bassists.
Original bassist Duff McKagan will reunite this month with the Guns N' Roses during their tour through South America, while current bassist Tommy Stinson drops in for a short stint with his former Replacements bandmates, Rolling Stones reports.
On Monday, McKagan hinted to the reunion via Twitter: "Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil! See y'all in the next few weeks, Si? GNR."
Stinson, who reportedly will return to Guns for the May 13 concert in Bethlehem, Pa., told Billboard he thanked McKagan for "covering my (expletive) on this one."
Stinson said he didn't want to leave the band in a lurch. "Luckily someone was able to reach out to Duff and he was amenable to the idea and was into doing it," Stinson added. "It's Duff being the kind of good sport he is, trying to help Axl (Rose) out."
It hardly sounds like a bad deal for McKagan either. "It's pretty great to play these songs again, and (I'm) looking forward to playing some gigs with my pal again," he told Rolling Stones.
McKagan played with the band from 1985 to 1997 and rejoined the group for their 2008 Chinese Democracy album. He also has played certain tracks with various members of the band in subsequent years.
