News 12 First at Five / Tuesday, April 2, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- The investigation into what caused a car to hit and kill an Aiken woman is far from being over. The accident reconstruction team was out at the collision site on Tuesday, digging for details into what could have happened on Saturday afternoon.
"Speed, into braking, into damage of other vehicles, into causing vehicles or pedestrians to move a distance," said Chris Hammell with Aiken Public Safety.
And that list goes on and on.
His accident reconstruction team says every bit of the information matters.
"It's a giant puzzle," he said.
And he likes to think he knows where all of those pieces are.
"We marked here, these were some items the pedestrians were carrying," Hammell said.
His team works accidents like the one that happened Saturday several times a year.
"We try and collect as much evidence as we can," he said.
Trying to uncover what's most important.
"Our primary things we're looking for are speed determination and our primary directions, so we know where the vehicles and pedestrians were traveling, what direction they were heading," he told News 12.
It's only just a small amount of information they gather during the investigation, but on Tuesday, they were doing something different.
"We're gonna take a scale diagram of this collision scene and gonna preserve exactly where all these evidence points are," he said.
So weeks and months down the road, they can see it again, like the day it actually happened.
And with all of the evidence in hand, they can make a better decision.
"We're gonna get all of our evidence first, then we're gonna find out charges our evidence is able to support, and then make those charges," Hammell said.
And these were his final words he told News 12: "Just because we don't charge someone right away, doesn't mean we're not ... We can always issue a warrant and arrest that person in the future."

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"I added the Pearl paper and they turned out beautiful. My daughter loved the invites and the Thank you cards I had gotten for her too."
"Absolutely loved this card. Was obsessed with the rasberry color I chose and loved that another suite (vivid blooms) matches it somewhat and I was able to find from that suite the recipe cards!"
"Everything about this card is perfect. The colors are vibrant, the quality of the paper is awesome especially with the pearl shimmer. The scallop edging is perfect and elegant. Love it."
"I am very pleased with this lovely card. It is very professional looking and elegant. The quality of the print and the card stock are outstanding. I was pleased with the color options for the front and the back of the card."

Our nation's birth ignited a fierce political firestorm. Its embers still flare today.
The incendiary debate features fiery opposing arguments. Some believe God helps those who help themselves, with Uncle Sam butting out. Others say government assistance is required to help the poor escape their plight.
Who's in synch with our founding fathers regarding help for the poor?
At the country's birth, our forefathers wove two bold strands into our national fabric that don't blend.
These divergent ways government deals with the poor are rooted in Alexander Hamilton's and Thomas Jefferson's clashing convictions. The former viewed society from the top-down, with government aid flowing to indigent citizens. The latter looked through bottom-up lens, with Uncle Sam's minimal help as citizens worked out of poverty.
Hamiltonian government implements and coordinates social policy. This allows Uncle Sam to moderate the haves' greed and corral the have-nots' envy. Serving as attache to George Washington during the Revolutionary War, Hamilton naturally aligned a well-run government with the military's top-down ranks.
Historian Jon Milton Cooper Jr., in his biography "Woodrow Wilson," observes, "Social betterment for him (Hamilton) was analogous to military service, an enterprise in which each citizen would sacrifice, and everyone would work together for the common good."
Jefferson, in contrast, objected to Hamilton making Uncle Sam into "Big Brother" who restricts personal freedom and curtails individual risk-taking. He favored hard-working citizens who accomplished their goals.
Historian Cooper crisply sums up Jefferson's world view as "the belief in the importance of creating an environment in which people can freely use their energies in the pursuit of their own happiness."
Those who view society from the bottom-up want less government. Those using a top-down perspective show confidence in government's ability and duty to heal social ills.
This tension also erupted at the first Christmas. Biblical readers encounter a forthright Mother Mary who challenges the Roman Empire. In the Magnificat, Mary magnifies Old Testament themes about how God uses lowly people to upset power mongers. She sings, "(God) has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of low degree; He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty." (Luke 1:52-53).
Jesus's birth in a smelly cattle's feedbox fleshes out Mary's protest song. Jesus, an itinerant preacher, gathered despised tax collectors and simple fishermen to follow him. "(He) will spend most of his time among society's lowlifes, delighting in the company provided by IRS auditors on the take, lifelong hookers, Samaritan adulterers, Roman thugs, outcast lepers and officers of the occupying Roman army," described Calvin Seminary preacher Scott Hoezee. Jesus showed compassion on the indigent, while the powerful avoided them.
Today, a conservative congressional power bloc protects tax code perks to the super rich by diminishing government aid to the poor. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, exposes these tawdry tactics.
"Deficit hawks have learned they can shape the political landscape of our country with the tool of defunding," judges Beckmann. "We are at a point now where Congress is threatening cuts in the programs that provide help and opportunity for poor people in our country - programs such as food stamps, Medicaid and tax credits for the working poor.
"Of course, all Americans can be enthusiastic about our government running a tight fiscal ship. But if the budget is to be balanced on the backs of our poor, innocent children will suffer, and the civility woven into the fabric of our society will be threatened."
How should our nation best deal with the poor? Support government that sits back to allow personal initiative to bubble up, or support government that leads from the front, lifting those down on their luck?
Carol Simon Kamin of Brookline, Mass., grew up with Las Vegas gambling mogul Sheldon Adelson, who supported Mitt Romney's bid for president. They were reared in the same poor, Jewish immigrant Boston neighborhood. Ms. Kamin writes how she and Adelson differ on government's role in dealing with the poor.
Rather than sketch a political philosophy, she details what has happened in those areas of the country that follow Adelson's Jeffersonian, bottom-up diminished governmental aid to the poor.
"Mr. Adelson writes that one of the reasons he left the Democratic Party is that Republicans are now more generous contributors to charity than Democrats," notes Ms. Kamin. "Yet many of those very states that vote Republican have the highest child poverty rates, the lowest education levels, the worst health outcomes and the greatest number of children living in distressed communities."
"And many of those states that vote Democratic have the lowest child poverty rates, the highest education levels, the best access health care and the most kids growing up in communities with the resources to provide safe and thriving neighborhoods," Ms. Kamin declares (Wall Street Journal, Nov. 8, 2012, p. A-20).
Ms. Kamin reminds us of another Jewish progressive - Mother Mary - who renounced the Roman government for backing off rather than lifting up the poor.
The Rev. Jack R. Van Ens is a Presbyterian minister who heads the nonprofit, tax-exempt Creative Growth (www.thelivinghistory.com), which enhances Christian worship through storytelling and dramatic presentations aimed to make God's history come alive. Van Ens' book, "How Jefferson Made the Best of Bad Messes," is available in local bookstores for $7.95.

'Boardwalk Empire' Recap, Season 4, Episode 11, 'Havre De Grace'
The penultimate episode of this season of "Boardwalk Empire" kicks of with Chalky White and Daughter Maitland still on the run from Dr. Valentin Narcisse. They, however, have found protection from Chalky's mentor, Oscar Boneau, in Havre de Grace, Maryland.
Chalky is still kicking himself for not taking his mentor's advice to never trust anyone, since he still believes that Nucky was involved in the attempt on his life. Oscar, meanwhile, has little help to offer other than for Chalky to stay there and regroup. Chalky instead decides to run off with Daughter the next morning, but when he wakes up in the middle of the night, she's gone. Though she has left, Dr. Valentin Narcisse's men have arrived, determined to get Chalky. The elderly Oscar fends them off with his shotgun, but is killed in the process, leaving Chalky with no other allies.
In Atlantic City, Nucky Thompson gets a worrisome call from Gaston Means of the Justice Department, who warns that there's a "skunk in your cellar." That skunk, of course, is his good old brother Eli, who is coming under increasing pressure from Agent Warren Knox/Jim Tolliver to provide more information on Nucky's operations. Eli gives details about the heroin trade out of Tampa and the various gangsters involved, including Nucky. But Knox wants Eli to get all the main players–Nucky, Joe Masseria, among others—in the same room so he can prove collusion across state lines. Eli suggests the meeting to Nucky as an opportunity for everyone to "talk terms" and prevent a war while Nucky still has a hand to play.
But Nucky's suspicions extend to his brother after Eli's wife June brings up the unnerving visit Eli had from the "baby-faced" insurance salesman, who was actually Agent Knox, in the previous episode. Despite his suspicions, Nucky tells Eli to set up the meeting with Masseria, Charlie "Lucky" Luciano and the rest involved in the Tampa deal. It's not clear what Nucky has up his sleeve by setting up the meeting, but at the end of the episode, he tells Sally Wheet in one of their late-night phone calls, "I want out."
Meanwhile, Gillian Darmody's fairytale romance with Roy Phillips comes to a sudden end, as it turns out he was not a businessman with the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain after all, but a private detective.
The revelation comes after Gillian finally makes a decision to stop pursuing custody of her grandson Tommy and to sell her home. At a celebratory dinner, Roy asks Gillian to leave Atlantic City with him and marry him, now that his business in town is over. But after they leave the restaurant, one of Roy's disgruntled business colleagues shows up, appears to reach for a gun, and Roy shoots him. Roy and Gillian flee the scene, but he later threatens to turn himself in. In Gillian's desperation to keep Roy from calling the police, she tells him he actually can live with the guilt of committing murder. She tries to prove it to him by explaining that she actually killed someone and has managed to live with it. She tells how she killed a young man named Roger by drowning him in her bathtub. Suddenly, several men in suits turn up, and Roy tells Gillian that he's actually a private detective—one who now has her confession. Gillian at first is in absolute disbelief, but quickly realizes that this means she'll be facing jail and murder charges. She tries to run off, but the men have to apprehend her and pin her to the floor as she screams in agony.

Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Biostatistics seeks to publish new biostatistical models and methods, new statistical theory, as well as original applications of statistical methods, for important practical problems arising from the biological, medical, public health, and agricultural sciences with an emphasis on semiparametric methods. Given many alternatives to publish exist within biostatistics, IJB offers a place to publish for research in biostatistics focusing on modern methods, often based on machine-learning and other data-adaptive methodologies, as well as providing a unique reading experience that compels the author to be explicit about the statistical inference problem addressed by the paper. IJB is intended that the journal cover the entire range of biostatistics, from theoretical advances to relevant and sensible translations of a practical problem into a statistical framework. Electronic publication also allows for data and software code to be appended, and opens the door for reproducible research allowing readers to easily replicate analyses described in a paper. Both original research and review articles will be warmly received, as will articles applying sound statistical methods to practical problems.
- Language:
- English
- Type of Publication:

Submission of Manuscripts
Instructions for Authors
Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
This document provides authors with details on policy, copyediting, formatting, and layout requirements pertaining to final manuscript submission to this journal. All manuscripts must have correct formatting to be considered ready for publication. We also encourage the authors to implement a transparent format for the abstract and paper that lists the basic elements of the research question, so that the reader can understand immediately what statistical problem the paper is addressing. This includes defining precisely the statistical inference problem (data-generating experiment, the model, the parameter or hypothesis of interest), and proposed solution of this problem, making the unique contribution of the manuscript very clear. Priority is put on statistical inference problems within very big statistical models, or semi-parametric models.
The entire manuscript submission and review process is handled through an online system named ScholarOne. All manuscripts should be submitted to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/dgijb
Unpublished material: Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described is not copyrighted, published or submitted elsewhere, except in abstract form. The corresponding author should ensure that all authors approve the manuscript before its submission.
Conflict of interest: When authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for recognizing and disclosing financial and/or other conflicts of interest that might bias their work and/or could inappropriately influence his/her judgment. If no specified acknowledgement is given, the Publishers assume that no conflict of interest exists.
Copyright: Manuscripts are accepted on condition of transfer of copyright (for U.S. government employees: to the extent transferable) to The International Journal of Biostatistics. Once the manuscript is accepted, it may not be published elsewhere without the consent of the copyright holders.
The ScholarOne system has been designed to improve the scholarly publication process for authors. Among the many improvements we offer over traditional journals, the most significant is that we have dramatically shortened the period between the initial submission and the final publication of a peer-reviewed article. Much of this time savings is due to the innovative use of electronic publication. These innovations, however, require certain changes in the way authors need to prepare accepted manuscripts for electronic publication.
De Gruyter does provide a light copyedit of manuscripts for this journal, but remain responsible for being their own copyeditors and typesetters. This means that authors need to pay greater attention to the editing and look of their manuscripts than is typically required by print journals.
All manuscripts must be written in clear and concise English. If you have reasons to doubt your proficiency with respect to spelling, grammar, etc. (e.g., because English is not your native language), then you may wish to employ—at your expense—the services of a professional language editor.
Please get in touch with the Language Editors directly to discuss details.

Comments (2)
I agree that finding articles is cumbersome, and navigating the web site is difficult. For example, as a user, once I have successfully navigated to the IJB web page, I expect to be able to search within IJB by title, author, year, keywords, and any combination of those. Yet if I use the search box on the main IJB page, I find myself searching the entire De Gruyter website. When I instead (counter-intuitively) click on the "READ CONTENT" button, my search options are quite limited. In fact, although I have published multiple articles in IJB over the past few years, entering my last name in the search box and specifying the search be carried out within the Journal/Yearbook yields no results. Substantial improvements in search need to be made if dissemination of articles is to be facilitated instead of obstructed. I also had difficulty with the submission side of things. I cannot find author guidelines for preparing the manuscript. When I click on the link labeled "For Authors" I find a lot of "corporate speak." No, I am not looking for sales, marketing, or to hire an editor. What I would like is a latex template, information about margins, fonts, whether figures should be included in the text or placed separately at the end of the document, etc. It turns out that I have to start the submission process in order to access this information. It's not that this is hard to do, it's just that the user experience is less than satisfactory. I understand that no system will ever be perfect for everyone, however, I hope these comments spur improvements to the website that will enhance scholarship and readership.
I hope I can help with the concerns regarding our search functionalities: The slot for the quick search in the upper right hand corner is a customary website feature that you can use for searching for publications throughout the whole website. For example, you can use it to navigate to a journal homepage. Once you have navigated to the journal website, what you see is an information overview on all things concerning the journal, for example its aims and scope and other general information. "Read Content" brings you to the content. Once you are in the "content world", you are being offered a "Search within issue"/"Search within journal" option on the left-hand side, above the list of issues, which enables you to search for terms within a certain issue or the whole journal. You are right, there are still a few bugs affecting the "Search within" option at the moment. We are working to fix these as quickly as possible since we share your concerns about this feature being absolutely vital for a successful dissemination of the content! As for the information for authors, you find a link "Online Submission of Manuscripts" under "Additional Information" starting the respective procedure, as you have seen yourself. We are at the moment developing ideas on how to make this even clearer. Your idea to provide the required information one step earlier is something that some users really appreciate whereas others are totally fine with using the subscription tool to find out. But we will definitely take your suggestion into account. So thanks for your feedback, and yes, we are taking all your proposals seriously and do use it in order to improve this platform continuously. We appreciate your help on this!

The platform, available globally, incorporates both upstream and downstream steps, including chromatography systems that use fully disposable single-use flow paths, prepacked and prequalified chromatography columns, single-use bioreactors, and tangential flow filtration products for ultrafiltration–difiltration and cell harvest applications. The support pieces that make everything work are also part of the platform, such as sterile filter assemblies, aseptic tube welders, and sealers as well as disposable, genderless, aseptic connectors. BioPharm International spoke with Matthew Stortz, senior manager, marketing operations, and Lorraine F. Attridge, business leader, ReadyToProcess, of GE Healthcare Life Sciences to gain an inside look on how the platform serves to meet the need of making bioprocessing applications more efficient.
BioPharm: When was the ReadyToProcess platform issued and what has been the progression of its development?Stortz: The platform has been growing steadily since its official launch on Oct. 1, 2007. GE Healthcare acquired WAVE Biotech on Apr. 16, 2007, and used its product portfolio of single-use bioreactors, mixers, and aseptic tube fusers and sealers, as well as consumable bags, in addition to internally developed filtration products (e.g., TFF, normal flow filtration [NFF]) as the basis for the ReadyToProcess platform. In December 2008, the ÄKTA ready disposable flowpath chromatography system was launched and can be used with the ReadyToProcess prepacked/presanitized chromatography columns or other conventional chromatography columns. Additional products, including ReadyMate, our Disposable Aseptic Connector, ReadyCircuit (bag and tubing assemblies facilitating interconnection of unit operations as well as filtration applications) and accessories such as ReadyKart have filled out the platform.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) The industry is not only booming on the Western Slope, but worldwide. A new study by Colorado Mesa University and the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association show that solar energy is now the single fastest growing energy source in the world. Since 2006, the U.S. solar market has grown by 110% per year. Experts say more affordable options are leading to increased demand.
Solar used to be too expensive for many people, but times have changed. "The availability of the solar lease," says Dr. Lou Villaire with the Grand Valley Solar Center. That's one of the reasons for the huge increase in solar sales. "Now, so many more people can get into solar for their home without outlaying any capital, and immediately begin to save money on their bills," explains Villaire, also a salesman at Atlasta Solar Center in Grand Juncton. Since 2006, more than 1,200 residential and commercial solar electric systems have been installed in the Grand Valley.
"We've had no problems with the panels at all," says Ladonna Ishida.
Ishida bought and installed solar panels on her Orchard Mesa home in 2009 for $26,000, but saved $17,000 in rebates and tax credits. "You see your meter going backwards, and you have a 9 or 10 dollar electric bill, and it's like I can live with that," adds Ishida, who plans to recoup the costs in no time. "We're really energy conscious so we don't have lights on all the time, and don't run computers needlessly, so I think we'll recoup it before 12 years."
Mesa county now represents a 15 million dollar annual solar industry. "We started as a company in 2005 with two people, myself as one of them, and my husband; and we've grown to 20 employees," says Heidi Ihrke, owner of High Noon Solar in Grand Junction.
Now, over a dozen residential and commercial solar systems are being installed in the Grand Valley every week.
"All of this has been very much a collective effort in making a real positive impact on the local economy," says Villaire.
There are currently over a dozen solar companies in the Grand Valley, employing nearly 100 people. Colorado is also among the top five states in solar energy growth. Installing solar panels also makes you eligible for rebates, and state and federal tax credits. However, officials say you'd better hurry, because as demand increases, rebates and tax incentives are decreasing.

News 12 has created a special coverage page as more information about the escapes are released.
News 12 First at Five / Monday, Oct. 22, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It took a car chase, a canine unit surrender and a statewide search to round up the five teenagers that escaped.
Deputies say it took everyone involved to find them all.
"It's a collaborative effort from everybody in the community and in the local government," said Richmond County Lt. Randy Prickett.
That's how these cousins, Wayne and Kendrick Johnson, and three other juveniles were tracked down after escaping from the Youth Development Campus Friday night.
"If everybody works hand in hand, we can resolve stuff like this quickly. If not, it takes a lot longer," Lt. Prickett said.
According to a preliminary timeline from the DJJ, a corrections officer noticed the five were missing around 8:40 p.m. Friday.
A few minutes later, at 8:45 p.m., an off-duty officer reported seeing the group nearby.
But it wasn't until nearly two hours after that when the Georgia State Patrol and Richmond County deputies were called in to help with the search.
"You've got a lot of folks involved, you got the Department of Juvenile Justice, of course it was their inmates that had escaped, they assisted us with canine and with some of their personnel," Prickett said.
The juveniles didn't get very far. Officials say they stole a car, then led deputies on a chase that ended on Byron Place.
One witness who lives on that street saw the whole thing.
"Whoever they was they drive good, they should have been a stunt man or something. I ain't never seen that many police cars after one person," Nakendrick Glover said.
"That's generally what happens. If they don't live real locally, if they're here from out of town, they're going to try to steal a car and go somewhere," Prickett said.
Deputies say three of the five teenagers were captured when the car chase ended.
Kendrick and Wayne Johnson ran off into the woods. A canine unit tracked down Kendrick quickly, and Wayne was eventually caught a day and half later.
It was around the intersection of Barton Chapel and Milledgeville Road where an off-duty staff member spotted Johnson and alerted a nearby deputy.
Now they are all back in custody -- Wayne and Kendrick in the Richmond County Jail -- charged with escape and vehicle theft.
The other three juveniles are being held at RYDC.
The DJJ says even though the juveniles were reported missing from their dorm early in the night, they must do a thorough search of the grounds to make sure they're not hiding somewhere on the campus.
That means they have to comb through 456 acres and 23 buildings before officially calling it an escape.
They say investigating how the five escaped is now the top priority.

Having out grown its current facilities at 1200 Ski Hill Rd., staff members of the Breckenridge Gold Run Nordic Center are immersed in the construction period that will expand current facilities to four times its current size.
"The new center will certainly offer the same services," said Matt Dayton, operations manager of the Nordic center. "We'll be able to serve guests better, there's not a whole lot of new things being added, but we'll be able to do a better job of what we're currently offering."
Throughout the construction, the Nordic center will remain open with skiing and snowshoeing and retail sales, snow permitting.
Completion of construction is anticipated for the spring, according to Dayton.
The Nordic center currently offers 25 kilometers of groomed classic- and skate-skiing trails and 15 kilometers of snowshoeing.
Construction of a new club house will join the current 2,200-square-foot operating facility, adding another 8,800-square-foot building to house more retail sales, food service, rentals, lockers for guests and tuning services.
"It's going to be a more inviting place to come and hang out," Dayton said. "People like the existing center because it's clean and cozy but it gets full, so the new space is going to be more inviting for people to come and go: Ski, come back for a coffee and eat, socialize with friends, and the views are going to be awesome."
Dayton said the Nordic center also has plans down the road to expand the acreage of trails currently offered.
"Our long-term, high-end goal is to add another 20 kilometers to the trails we have," Dayton said. "We need to initiate a process with the Forest Service and assess all of the environmental factors. Right now we're just focusing on how to better serve our guests by expanding our home-base facilities."
Beginner and intermediate skiers are able to navigate through golf course terrain while intermediate and advanced skiers are offered the Hoo-Doo Voo-Doo trails, which are considered challenging terrain.
The full-service ski shop will expand its ski waxing, binding mounting, ski prep and wax services through new facilities.
The center also offers winter rentals throughout the construction period, offering a full line of rental and performance equipment. Ice skate rentals are also available at a nominal fee.

In another sign of how deeply fractured and competitive the California grocery-store landscape has become in recent years, with big non-union players like Target and Walmart getting in on a retail food fight of epic proportions, a new era of labor relations is unfolding this week across the Bay Area.
As some big grocers either nail down deals with union workers -- Save Mart -- or at least continue to meet at the bargaining table -- Safeway -- the family-owned Raley's chain is facing striking workers outside its stores as the two sides seem locked in a bitter stalemate over heath care and other issues.
This time, with the pressure on full bore from big-box food sellers and niche players like Trader Joe's, it's not the giant national chains getting jammed up in ugly headline-grabbing labor strife, it's the smaller guys.
Raley's employees closed out their third day of picketing Tuesday. Thousands went on strike Sunday after last-ditch talks broke down, leading to the first grocery walk-off in two years and the first-ever strike in Raley's 77-year history.
The strike caps 15 months of contentious negotiations and signals to some employees that the workplace that had once felt like an extended family has been replaced with a culture of mistrust that pitted worker against manager.
"I came over here because of the better working conditions and the better attitude toward employees," said Doug Knowles, a butcher at the Pleasanton Raley's who has worked for the company almost seven years. "And all that's gone."
Raley's spokesman John Segale said the company has to lower costs to compete with the 240 or so non-union grocery retailers that have opened in California and Nevada since 2008.
"We've been having to respond to that," he said.
Segale said Raley's wages are still some of the most generous in the industry -- about double what Walmart pays. He said union leaders foiled negotiations by not allowing members to vote on the proposed contract, which management says is more generous than Save Mart's.
"If they had a chance to vote on it, they would support it," he said.
Ron Lind, Local 5 president of the United Food and Commercial Workers and a 30-year veteran of the Northern California grocery scene, said Tuesday that Raley's negotiations are a clear contrast with Safeway, which he says is bargaining in good faith despite labor's battles with the national chain in the past. And the other major grocery player, Save Mart, has already worked out a contract with the UFCW.
Lind said Raley's had gotten "provocative" during negotiations: "They're basically saying, 'Do it our way or not at all,' which is more like what Safeway did in the past."
But in this ever-changing grocery-store landscape, Safeway is no longer the bad guy. Union leaders and Safeway management expect smooth sailing when they meet Wednesday and continue negotiations to replace the contract that expired in October 2011.
"These negotiations have been peaceful and professional, but they have been protracted as labor negotiations tend to be when the issues are very difficult," Keith Turner, Safeway director of public and government affairs, wrote in an email Tuesday.
Small and large established chains are facing growing competition from non-union, low-cost grocers, industry experts say. As big retail chains like Circuit City and Mervyns folded, more grocery operators came into the Northern California market.
"You now have more chains, including Walmart and Target, selling groceries, and whose labor costs are half or less that traditional stores," Lind said.
Walmart has opened a string of Neighborhood Markets and now offers same-day grocery delivery in parts of the Bay Area. The big-box retailer relies on low-wage workers, keeping many to part-time so they don't qualify for benefits, said supermarket industry expert David Livingston. He said that mom-and-pop grocers and local chains may want to continue to offer robust benefit packages and premium pay, "but it's hard and expensive."
Raley's labor strife hasn't escaped the notice of Safeway employees waiting for their new contract. Employees at the Walnut Creek Safeway on Tuesday were a bit anxious about the lengthy negotiations. They had heard about the union's struggles at Raley's, and some employees said they sympathized.
Dee Randle, working the morning shift in the bakery, said employees were ready to strike if they had to.
"If it has to happen to us, we're ready to do it," she said. "You've got to fight for what you believe in."

Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Interns
The HACU National Internship Program (HNIP) is considered a model program for both student development and outreach to the Hispanic community by providing a comprehensive range of services to students, and federal agencies. The objectives of the program are:
All applicants to HNIP must have at least a 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale, receive one letter of recommendation from an advisor or professor, and be enrolled as a graduate or undergraduate student.
HNIP interns are employees of HACU. The interns are placed in Federal agencies that participate through a contractual or cooperative agreement with HACU. Although HNIP interns are employees of HACU, they must comply with the work schedule of the participating agency. Interns are not paid overtime.
In the application process, we must provide detailed job descriptions. Moreover, the internship assignment should be a quality professional developmental experience that will enable students to make more educated career choices. Most interns perform some administrative duties. However, HACU requests that the majority of intern time be devoted to substantive work that will enhance the students' skills in their area of study. Overall, the internship assignment should complement the intern's academic background and/or career interests.
If you are interested in hiring a HACU student for summer employment please contact Michele Satchell. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Jackson City Police officers had training on Thursday and Friday on our to use their new tasers.
"It's not new to Jackson County but it's new to us," said Lt. Elmer Hitt of the Jackson Police Department.
The Jackson County Sheriff's Office already uses tasers and thanks to a federal grant, now so do the city police.
"We're one of the last departments to implement them and get them out there," said Hitt.
The training session included how to use the tasers, when to use and them and where on the body officers should target. The main areas are the back, below the neck and in the lower torso area from the sternum to the waist.
"[The taser] sends an electrical pulse that interferes with the brain's ability to community with the muscles, causing the muscles to contract and tighten. It's an involuntary response to the body," said Hitt.
Protocol according to Hitt for Jackson police officers is to use only in situation where a subject is adamently resisting and when a gun or other weapon would not be effective.
"When there is resistive or combative behavior and attempting to make an arrest or take somebody into custody --- that could lead to the use and deployment of the taser by one of our officers," said Hitt.
Studies have shown that using a taser can drastically reduce injuries to both the officers themselves as well as to suspects or people who are taken into custody. A few months ago Hitt remarked that an officer was trying to apprehend a suspect alone and that person was extremely combative. Both the suspect and officers suffered minor injuries because they ended up getting involved in hand-to-hand physical contact. Hitt said this could have been a great tool for that situation.
The officers are instructed and it's policy to use a taser no more than three times on a subject. Each use of the device is determined by the officer. If the suspect is not subdued by one shot, then another is fired. Again, if two still is not sufficient then a third may be used. Hitt said the policy does state that only in extenuating circumstances can an officer fire more than three shots.
As soon as training is completed, which is likely by the end of the week, the officers will start to carry them immediately.

Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will wrap its two-game road trip with a visit to Utah State on Saturday, Nov. 17. The Islanders will be looking to repeat their performance against the Aggies from last year, when they knocked off USU 58-55 in overtime.
• The Islanders have one of the youngest teams in Division I, with an average age of 20 years, three months and 23 days as of tonight.
• A&M - Corpus Christi was victimized by Denver's outside shooting in a 68-51 loss, as the Pioneers hit 11 three-pointers.
• Hameed Ali matched his career high with 15 points against DU, going 6-of-15 from the field and adding four steals.
• The team's leader, sophomore Johnathan Jordan, has scored in double figures in both games this season and has had four assists in each contest. He is 9-for-18 from the field and 5-for-7 from the line this year.
• The Islanders opened their season with a 60-49 win over Texas Lutheran on Saturday night, their fourth season in five opened with a win.
• The Islanders do not have a group of five players who will see action this year that had previously played together in a competitive contest.
• Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is ineligible for the postseason because of poor results in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate. No Islander who played under Wilson had anything to to with the subpar score.
For the second straight contest, the Islanders will do battle with a team that they saw in the American Bank Center last year. A season ago, A&M - Corpus Christi upset Utah State with a 58-55 overtime victory. Hameed Ali delivered the big shot, drilling a three in the extra session that gave the Islanders a lead they would not relinquish.
Morgan Grim led the way for the Aggies in the loss, delivering 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Brockeith Pane added 15 points. The Islanders were helped by 16 points off of 16 USU turnovers, and won the battle of second-chance points in convincing fashion, 22-8.
He's only a sophomore, but Houston native Johnathan Jordan has been thrust into the role of leader on the young Islanders squad. Jordan led the Southland in assists per game in 2011-12 and despite his newbie status, was also among the leaders in minutes per game. With 26 starts, he entered the year with nearly as many Division I starts as the rest of his teammates combined (34).
Jordan struggled from the field in the exhibition against UIW, going 3-for-15 from the floor, though he did record five steals. He bounced back with 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists against Texas Lutheran, though he struggled to get into a rhythm early in the game and was not in the starting lineup. He followed that with 10 points and four assists at Denver.
The 5-foot-10 Jordan is also one of the most athletic Islanders, having twice won the slam-dunk contest at Islanders Invasion, thanks much to his 48-inch running vertical leap. His 138 assists last season were a new school record.
As the youngest member of last year's freshman class, Hameed Ali showed flashes of being a strong player for the Islanders, hitting game-winning shots against Utah State and Sam Houston State in addition to having the ball in his hands with the chance at a win against South Alabama.
But Ali, who turned 19 in August, has shown significant growth in his maturity, particularly as a vocal leader for the Islanders. Formerly one of the most shy members of the team, Ali has become a constant voice in practice – whether he is on the court or on the sidelines.
His game has seen a similar progression. After averaging 4.3 points per game a year ago, the native of Hayward, Calif., has seen significant improvement on both ends of the court. After scoring nine in the opener with Texas Lutheran, he became the go-to player at Denver, hitting 6-of-15 shots to match his career high with 15 points. He also had four steals, giving him six in the season's first two games.
If it's possible for a team's leading scorer and rebounder, who hadn't played competitive basketball in a year and a half, to be off to a slow start, then Will Nelson is in that scenario.
The junior college transfer is averaging 12.5 points and 7.0 rebounds through his first two Division I contests. But he has shot just 7-for-24 (.292) from the floor and 2-for-7 (.286) from downtown in those games. He has played 64 minutes on the year, tops among Islanders.
Nelson's performance would be viewed differently if it weren't for his effort in the team's exhibition against Incarnate Word. Playing his first game in an Islanders uniform, Nelson scored 26 points on 6-of-14 shooting and nabbed 10 rebounds – seven on the offensive glass.
Nelson is attending his fifth different school in the last five years, and the UIW game marked his first competitive contest in nearly two seasons. He took last season off of basketball to focus on his academics at Dodge City Community College. Prior to that, he played a year each at Hutchinson CC and Baton Rouge CC after playing for Port Allen (La.) High School.
Sophomore Nate Maxey also jumps off the page when looking at statistics and measurables. The San Diego native posted the fourth-highest block total (48) in school history in his freshman season, and heading into this season was measured as having a 7-foot-10 wing span.
Maxey, who averaged 3.5 points and 3.0 rebounds a year ago, has added about 15 pounds to his 6-foot-11 frame and has also matured greatly off the court heading into his sophomore season.
The opener against TLU was a microcosm of his career at A&M - Corpus Christi. In the first half, he had two blocks but struggled on both ends. In the second, though, he was a force, with two more blocks, five rebounds and six points – all finishing off alley-oops with a dunk. He followed that up with two blocks at Denver, scoring four points and grabbing six rebounds in limited action due to DU's small lineup.

WASHINGTON (October 3, 2012)—Conservatives are using a speech President Barack Obama delivered as a candidate in 2007 to accuse him of using racially charged rhetoric.
Fox News broadcast the video Tuesday night of the speech that news organizations including The Associated Press and Fox News covered at the time.
Fox host Sean Hannity says the remarks contain quote, "some of the most divisive class warfare and racially charged rhetoric ever used by Barack Obama."
The Drudge Report, a regular critic of Mr. Obama, wrote on Twitter that the video will "ignite accusations of racism - in both directions!"
The conservative attempt to stoke concern about the 5-year-old speech came on the eve of the first presidential debates as Romney trails Mr. Obama in national and state polls.
The Obama campaign says "Mitt Romney's allies" are re-circulating the speech to try to divert attention from Romney's comments about 47 percent of Americans not paying federal income taxes.

ASPEN - The drought of 2012 - one of the worst in modern Colorado history - doesn't appear to be easing.
Technically the 2012 water year is over. Water experts start tracking a water year on Oct. 1 because that's the month that snowpack usually starts building in Colorado's mountains. After two months, the 2013 water year is picking up where 2012 left off.
The snowpack at Independence Pass east of Aspen is at 40 percent of average for Nov. 30, according to data from an automated snow-measurement site maintained by the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.
For the Roaring Fork River basin as a whole - which engulfs 1,451 square miles, including the Fryingpan and Crystal river watersheds - the snowpack is at 43 percent.
To put the dry fall into perspective, the Roaring Fork Conservancy reported Thursday that Schofield Pass has the beefiest snowpack in the basin right now, but it's only half of what it was in 2002 - another major drought year.
"Drought conditions still persist," said the conservancy, a nonprofit organization that works on water quantity and quality issues in the Roaring Fork Valley.
"A lot of times people think a drought is over after summer and fall," said Sharon Clarke, land and water conservation specialist with the Roaring Fork Conservancy. The effects of drought aren't as visible under winter snow and when irrigation isn't necessary. Nevertheless, the drought is hurting the rivers and streams of the valley right now, she said.
The Roaring Fork River near Aspen was flowing at 18 cubic feet per second on Thursday. The median flow for that date is 29 cfs. An in-stream flow of 32 cfs is advised for river health.
Water experts caution that while low streamflows are significant right now, "the real whopper will be if we get another year like 2012," said Chelsea Congdon, a founder of Friends of Rivers and Renewables, a project started by Public Counsel of the Rockies in Aspen. The purpose of the project is to draw awareness to water issues in the valley.
Congdon said the spring and summer streamflows and irrigation amounts depend on snowmelt. Last year, the Roaring Fork River basin had less than half its typical snowpack. If it fails to build again this year, the water shortage would obviously be exacerbated.
The 2012 water year was brutal. Winter was essentially compressed into February. The snow quit falling in March, and the temperature soared. April, May and June were all warmer and drier than average. The effects were wide-ranging. Some ranchers with junior water rights on historic ditches couldn't irrigate. Hay crops were stunted for lack of rain. The rafting season provided only a hint of a normal year. Fish populations were stressed by low streamflows and high temperatures. The insects they feed on were likely reduced. Wetlands along rivers and streams were significantly drier.
All of Pitkin County is considered in severe drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Large parts of the state are in extreme drought, and part of the eastern plains is considered in exceptional drought.
"The main message of 2012 is that everyone from irrigator to municipalities all got a wake-up call to remind us how dependent we are on healthy flows in our rivers," Congdon said. We could be looking at a future where the rivers and other water supplies can't meet the demand, she said.
The Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers were reduced to trickles at times last summer.
The flow on the Roaring Fork River near Aspen was at 50 cfs on Aug. 12. The historical median was 69 cfs.
The Roaring Fork River above the confluence with the Fryingpan River was at 128 cfs on Aug. 12 compared with a historical median flow of 525 cfs.
The Crystal River felt the ravages of the drought the worst. It was at 20 cfs on Aug. 12, while the historical median flow is 240 cfs.
Eric Kuhn, executive director of the Colorado River District, said 2012 was the third-driest year in at least the past 40 years as far as water from the upper Colorado River basin reaching Lake Powell. The driest was 2002; 1977 was the second driest.
The drought didn't strike so severely this year because reservoirs were in good shape at the start because of a very wet 2011. In 2002, conditions were severe because most of 2001 was also dry, Kuhn said.
Recovery from drought also came about by September 2002.
"Now we're not in recovery," Kuhn said.
Precipitation in western Colorado has been below average for 10 months this year. It's only been above average for one month, in July. And there's cause for concern to start the winter, Kuhn said. While scattered snow showers are expected on some days over the next week, no major storm systems appear to be developing. If western Colorado reaches mid- to late-December with a lower-than-average snowpack, it would be difficult though not impossible to catch up, Kuhn said.
"I'm actually more concerned right now about 2013 than about 2012," Kuhn said.
Bart Miller, water program director at Western Resource Advocates, said two really dry years in one decade - 2002 and 2012 - should serve as a important wake-up call that long-term drought poses a real danger. Some scientists contend that long-duration droughts could become the norm because of climate change.
"One-hundred-year droughts might become one in 50 (years) or one in 40," Miller said.
He said that means the following are things to think about: Everyone should be concerned about drought even if they don't think they are directly affected, the prospects of drought will force water planners to do more long-range planning - beyond enforcing restrictions on watering lawns, cities will have to implement broader water-conservation practices, and municipal interests will have to figure out how to better share limited water supplies with agriculture.
Miller will give a presentation at Hallam Lake in Aspen Monday at 7:30 p.m. on the options Colorado has to deal with growing demand on water from energy production, agriculture and urban sprawl in the era of climate change.
If there is any silver lining in droughts, it's that they increase the public's awareness of water issues, Clarke said.
"The hard thing is what people can do about it," she said.
The conservancy enlisted volunteers last summer to help in a program called Hot Spots for Trout. They measured temperatures at various places to sound the alarm for high temperatures that could be detrimental to trout.
Friends of Rivers and Renewables also is promoting education and awareness of water and drought issues. One initiative is to lobby for placement of more water-flow gauges on rivers and streams, particularly the Roaring Fork. If you collect additional information, Congdon said, you are better prepared to make decision.

HOUSTON – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball team was unable to come up with timely hitting on Sunday afternoon, leaving 10 runners on base while falling by a 3-1 final against Houston in the rubber match of the series. The Cougars took the series with wins on Friday and Sunday of the three-game set.
The Islanders (9-7) got a good start from Adam Hoelscher (1-1) in the loss, with the senior giving up just six hits in 7.0 innings, but the Cougars (12-4) were able to string four together in the bottom of the third for the eventual winning runs. In all, Hoelscher gave up three runs while striking out two and walking one.
The Islanders were unable to take advantage of early opportunities, leaving a pair of runners stranded in the top of the first and second innings, before finally breaking through in the top of the third.
Cody Stephens started things off with a single to center, stole second base and then came home to score on an Eric Weiss RBI single through the left side to make it 1-0.
The lead would by short lived however, as four consecutive hits with one out in the bottom of the third answered the Islanders run, giving UH a 2-1 lead early on.
The Islanders threatened several times throughout the contest, but the inability to bring home runners in scoring position doomed the offense on the day.
A solo home run to lead off the bottom of the sixth extended the Cougars lead to 3-1 in the late stages of the game.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi was unable to get any momentum going as Houston closed out the game.
Weiss and Zach Taylor led the team with two hits each, while Weiss had the only RBI for the Islanders. Jordan Lee, Stephens, Brad Lamberti and Kyle Danford added one hit apiece.
Next up for the team will be weekend series in San Marcos against former Southland foe Texas State. The Islanders earned a 7-3 win during a midweek contest on February 26 at Chapman Field in the first meeting between the teams this season.

Chicken Peanut Stew
And then I remembered this clip from Saturday Night Live. It's a classic.
Chicken Peanut Stew
1 1/2 TBSP olive oil
1 leek, white and light green parts only, well cleaned and diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 anaheim chili pepper, seeded and diced
1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced (how hot do you like it?)
kosher salt
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup bottled/jarred salsa
1 1/2 lbs sweet potato, peeled and small cubed
3 cups (about 12 ounces) seasoned, cooked chicken breast meat, diced
1 (15 ounce) can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
Heat oil in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and peppers, season with salt and pepper and saute for 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and saute for another minute or two.
Add the chicken stock, salsa and sweet potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Add the chicken and beans and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Whisk in the peanut butter until it is melted and stew is creamy. Simmer for another minute or two.

WASHINGTON (January 4, 2013)--The new Congress passed a $9.7 billion bill Friday to help pay flood insurance claims to residents whose homes and businesses Superstorm Sandy damaged.
The bill, which cleared the Senate following passage earlier Friday by the House, replenishes the National Flood Insurance Program that was due to run out of money next week, which would have left about 115,000 Sandy-related claims as well as 5,000 from other floods unresolved.
The late October storm ravaged the coast from North Carolina to Maine, with the worst flooding occurring in New York City and its suburbs, Atlantic City, N.J., along the Connecticut coastline.
Votes are planned later this month on another $51 billion aid package.
The government already has spent more than $2 billion as part of the emergency response to the storm.
The House approved the bill by a 354-67 vote.
All of the no votes were cast by Republicans including Central Texas lawmakers U.S. Rep. Bill Flores, R-Bryan and freshman U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, R-Weatherford.
U.S. Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, voted for the measure.

SAN ANDREAS — California Highway Patrol investigators are asking the public's assistance in locating a small tan or silver pickup whose driver is suspected of causing a fatal accident late Wednesday morning in San Andreas.
The CHP reported that Charles Bray, 57, of Cashmere, Wash., died after the accident about 11:30 a.m. on Highway 49 at the south end of San Andreas.
Witnesses said that Bray was southbound on his 1995 Harley Davidson motorcycle when a northbound pickup turned left onto Angels Road, putting the pickup in the path of Bray's motorcycle.
Bray reportedly steered left in order to avoid a collision but was unable to control the bike. The bike went down and Bray hit the roadway and then the bumper of a northbound Mercury Marquis that was behind the pickup.
Bray was declared dead at 11:45 a.m.
The small pickup fled the scene, and images of it were captured by a number of surveillance cameras at businesses in San Andreas, said Officer Rebecca Myers of the San Andreas office of the CHP.
CHP investigators ask anyone with information on the identity of the pickup or its driver to contact them at (209) 754-3541.

Joey Chestnut Wins Eating Title and Fiancee
Published: Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 9:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 5, 2014 at 9:18 a.m.
NEW YORK | High-ranking chowhound Joey "Jaws" Chestnut dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend before Friday's annual hot dog eating contest, then packed away 61 franks and buns to hold onto his coveted mustard yellow winner's belt.
The San Jose, California, resident fell far short of his record last year of 69 dogs and buns, but he still easily beat second-place finisher Matt Stonie, also of San Jose, who downed 56.
"Winning was the only option," the newly engaged champion said afterward. "I wasn't going to taint today with a loss."
Chestnut took a quick timeout before the annual Nathan's Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island to make it official with his longtime girlfriend, Neslie Ricasa, who is also a competitive eater.
In the women's division, defending champion Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas lost her title to Miki Sudo.
Sudo, of Las Vegas, wolfed down 34 franks and buns. Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia, devoured 27 3/4.
Chestnut has won eight times in a row. In 2010, his former rival Takeru Kobayashi refused to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, and was banned from competition.
This year, the Japanese native, nicknamed the Tsunami, competed against five other eaters at a separate event in Manhattan in a quest to down the most hot dogs without buns in 10 minutes. He was victorious in that bun-less eat-off, downing 113 frankfurters, an event spokeswoman said.

The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/18nVqRy) Wednesday that Discovery Church pastor Caleb Kaltenbach recently came across the Bibles with "Fiction" written on the price tag while shopping for a gift at a Costco store in Simi Valley. He took a photo and posted it on social media with the comment: "Costco has Bibles for sale under the genre of FICTION Hmmmm..."
Costco has since apologized, saying in a statement a distributor mislabeled a small percentage of Bibles before they were sent to the store. The company said it is correcting the mistake for future distribution.
