The host school took both first and fourth place at the invitational, while a pair of West Central Conference rivals fell into second and third place.
Marshall Tiger Invitational
The Yellow Medicine East boys' golf team, under blustery conditions, made their season debut Tuesday at the Marshall Tiger Invitational and logged a fifth-place finish.
The host school took both first and fourth place at the invitational, while a pair of West Central Conference rivals fell into second and third place.
No easy day for golf, as the temperatures stayed around 40 degrees and the wind gusted at roughly 20 miles-per-hour.
Two teams YME will see plenty of this season, Benson and Montevideo were seperated by just a stroke. Benson claimed second place (326), which left Montevideo to land in third (327).
The Sting, meanwhile, came in behind the second of three teams Marshall trotted out for the match. The Sting swung a 351 as a team, 10 strokes behind Marshall's second team and 25 strokes behind conference foe Benson.
YME sophomore, Mitch McCosh, drove the Sting with an 81, which placed him just three strokes out of fifth place and seven strokes behind meet-winner Matt Bennett of Marshall.
Other notable top finishers included Sam Peterson from Benson, who placed second with a 75 and Phillip Ward of Monte, who took fourth with a 78.
Rounding out YME's remaining top five: Charles Blue swung an 88, Spencer McCosh an 89, Jordan Zens a 93, Sam Jans 94 and Mason Frerichs 112.

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team came back to win the second game to split the doubleheader on Saturday against UT Arlington (3-7). The Islanders (5-8) won game two 7-3 after dropping the first game of the day 11-3.
The win in the nightcap ended up securing the series for the Islanders, as the game on Sunday was canceled due to the threat of inclement weather moving into the area.
Offensively, the Islanders got a host of production, as Jordan Lee, Zack Gibson and Kyle Danford all came up with three knocks on the night. Brandon Tierney and Josh Garza also picked up multi-hit games in game two.
Their counterpart, Devin Skapura was superb on the mound, tallying the win on seven innings pitched with one run on eight hits.
Both Skapura and Justin Schnedler were rolling early to start the game, tossing three innings of scoreless ball out of the gate. In fact, Skapura only faced one over the minimum his first time through the lineup.
Back-to-back singles by Gibson and Danford set the table to start the top of the fourth for the Islanders' offense. Schnedler bounced back to set the next two batters down before the Islanders strung three more two-out singles together to plate two runs, taking their first lead of the game.
After Skapura got out of a jam with a groundout to strand runners on second and third in the bottom of the fourth, the Islanders came right back with a huge five-run inning in the fifth.
It started with four straight hits from the top four guys of the lineup, cumulating on a double by Danford to plate two-runs. With a runner on first, Tierney found a gap between left and center for the first triple of the season for the Islanders, but he didn't stop there as the throw down to third got away, allowing Tierney to come all the way around to score to give the Islanders a 7-0 advantage after five.
This gave Skapura plenty of run support, as he only allowed one run over the next two innings. The bullpen allowed two more to come in, but that was it, securing the win for the Islanders.
It was Derek Miller who had the big afternoon in game one for UTA on Saturday, as, out of the leadoff spot, he went 3-for-4 with three runs and four RBIs, therefore contributing to 7 out of the 11 runs scored for the Mavericks.
In that game, the Islanders scattered their six hits to score just the two runs, with Cody Stephens picking up the only multi-hit game, going 2-for-4.
The Mavericks got on the board by scoring two in the first inning to start the day. This came off the power of back-to-back singles, before a fielder's choice and a single brought both in to score later in the inning.
With the score still sitting at 2-0 in the top of the third, the Islanders were able to cut the lead in half, finally getting to UTA's starter Jess Amedee. The run was produced via a two-out rally, as Gibson started it with a leadoff double followed by Stephens stepping up to the dish and driving Gibson in on a single to right field.
However, the Islanders quickly saw the deficit jump back out to two, as Greg McCall took the first pitch of the top of the fourth and crushed it over the left field wall to make it a 3-1 game.
Belicek bounced back to throw a scoreless fifth inning, but the bottom of the sixth proved to be the fatal blow for the Islanders. In that half inning, the Mavericks strung together five consecutive singles, as all five of those hitters eventually came around to score to extend the lead to 8-1.
The Islanders were able to plate one more run prior to the seventh inning stretch to cut the deficit to six. However, UTA continued to put the pressure on, plating three runs in the second half of the seventh to extend it to an 11-2 game.
This would be plenty of support for UTA's Jacob Moreland who came on in relief for Amedee and was perfect, not allowing a hit while striking out two over 2.2 innings pitched to lock down the game 1 win for UTA.
With the cancelation of Sunday's game, the Islanders will now head back to Corpus Christi before wrapping up the current road trip with a midweek game against Houston on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Nice work done. i just started blogging and find all troubleshooting problems here..

Good Job. Keep going :-)
Hi and thank you. I've been on this site for the last few hours. While here I've found so many different items to spice up my blog, the most amazing of which was the favicon installation. Who knew it could be that easy. Thank you and continue delivering good quality stuff!
Thanks a lot 'Blog Queen' for your lovely feedback...I am glad that this blog helped you...please do keep visiting :)
I really like the way you make every coding or installation simple. Clear description, provide full information. Really nice!
One more thing, provide your facebook twitter profile also. lol. ;)
Hi Divya Sai, I was looking around at some of your posts, it was really helpful. I had a problem recently with someone copying my content literally from top to bottom without giving any credits to me. He even copy-paste the link that says "click here to join blabla..", it was really funny cause his link was not working.lol That's how lazy he was, but he did apologize to me and deleted it as soon as I asked him to. That's why I made a post about plagiarism on my blog. I didn't know that you could report that on google, I thought the only thing you could report are blogs that have adult content without notifications or something like that. I'm not really geeky with computer stuff, but I will try to learn how to protect my images there with your post about it. Anyway, thanks for such informative posts, I'll definitely come back here for more info since I'm really really new to blogging (less than a month as of now hehe..)and would love to be a follower of your blog.

Xslimmer reduces the disk space taken up by Universal Binary applications preserving just the Intel or PowerPC version.
Xslimmer is a new and user-friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine's architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.
In addition, Xslimmer can strip out unneeded languages. Safari is available in more than a dozen languages, Adium in more than 20. This is great, but how many of those do you need? Xslimmer allows you to select how many languages you want to preserve in your apps and will remove the rest, recovering lots of precious free space from your disk.
Now fully Leopard compatible!
Required OS: not specified
Tags: utility , save , space , universal , binary , disk

Monolingual does not allow you to select the applications you want to slim. If you are not careful, it lets you remove essential files in your system rendering it unusable (Rosetta can be destroyed, for example). It requires the user to select from a confusing list what architectures should be preserved, making it possible to slim the Intel code in an Intel machine. It uses a static blacklist of troublesome applications, instead of a dynamic downloadable one. It does not perform backups.
All these issues are solved in Xslimmer. Xslimmer is easier to use, more informative and clearer. It is also smart enough to detect the architecture it is running on and act accordingly. It provides you with detailed information about what applications can be slimmed, how much space will you save, or if an application is known to cause problems after being slimmed down. Xslimmer is not yet able to remove unused language files, but this feature is being developed currently.
From my standpoint Monolingual is a GUI on top of a low-level tool meant for administrators, whereas Xslimmer is intended for all types of users. If you are looking for a pleasing, reliable and user-friendly way to save some space, use Xslimmer. If you know what you are doing, Monolingual can do the job for you.
Why use shareware when Monolingual can do the same for free?
This app is now stable, reliable and fast!
How is this "fun"?
Slim Operation Failed has been fixed. It was a bug that used to happen when a huge number of apps was dropped. Thanks for pointing it out.
Found 41 slimmable applications, 685MB. But, ALL slim operations failed.
Wow, that's impressive... now I definitely see why this could be useful.
Out of curiosity though, how large IS your Applications folder?
It actually shaves more off than you'd think. After scanning my entire Applications folder, it said there was 2 gigabytes of PowerPC code that could be removed, which is pretty impressive. Very functional app, with a very nice and aesthetically pleasing UI. Thumbs up. Just wish it were a few bucks lower.
While I respect the idea of this app, does it really cut down on THAT much space?
I don't know how universals are implemented, but if they're done the way I'm thinking they probably are, then this shouldn't cut more than a few KB off of most apps.

It takes less than two minutes for a jewelry heist like the one at Windsor Jewelers. Yesterday, three men stole nearly a million dollars in jewelry as the vendor was preparing to take the merchandise into the store.
And while investigators are busy looking at survelliance tape, most people in the business feel the robbers are long gone.
Stephen Cranford from The Jewelers Bench deals with jewelry salesmen all the time. It's a part of his business. "Now they come into the store first and we talk, and then they go get their line - they don't just walk out with their line," Cranford explains.
And when dealers come, most never even notice. They dress casually and don't draw a lot of attention. But someone knew that two Asian jewelry dealers were coming to Windsor Jewelers on Wednesday morning. Cranford always hears about heists like these happening all over the country.
"They'll either scout a large store waiting for a sales person or they'll follow a salesperson from one stop to another," Cranford said.
He's talking about a South American jewelry ring - gangs traveling the country pulling off heists like this one and making a clean get away. Richmond County Investigator Blaisse Dresser is looking for any clues.
"As they prepared to take jewelry into the store, one person was left in the vehicle while the other person went into the store to arrange for all the jewelry to be brought in," Dresser said.
"It's generally been rings of Colombian theives and they've gotten very good at it," Cranford said.
It took less than two minutes to approach this SUV, break the front and back windows, and grab the large duffel bag, holding nearly a million dollars in jewelry.
"The only voice that was heard sounded like an hispanic type voice which was previously heard in similar previous robber jewelry vendors," Dresser said.
"They are very in your face and normally there's two cars," Cranford said.
And Cranford says because of their quickness and no ties to the area, the theives are hard to find.
"They very rarely catch them. They hit the highway and they're gone," Cranford said.
Jewelers say the heist have gotten so bad in the Atlanta area that the FBI has formed a task force and because of that, many jewelers believe the gang is moving into other areas.

Netflix Gets Wells Notice Over CEO Hastings' Facebook Post
Netflix and CEO Reed Hastings both received Wells Notices from the SEC, according to a filing this afternoon related to something Hastings wrote on Facebook back in June.
Shares are taking it pretty well. The stock is down only about 1.5% in late trading, at $84.85.
A Wells notice is a notification from a securities regulator that it intends to recommend enforcement action and affords the respondent an opportunity to explain why such an action is not appropriate.
Back in July, Hastings wrote on his Facebook page that Netflix users had streamed more than 1 billion hours of video in June. The SEC is apparently looking into whether or not that violates fair-disclosure rules.
Here's the pertinent bit from the filing:
On December 5, 2012, Netflix, Inc. ("the Company") and its Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings each received a "Wells Notice" from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") indicating its intent to recommend to the SEC that it institute a cease and desist proceeding and/or bring a civil injunctive action against Netflix and Mr. Hastings for violations of Regulation Fair Disclosure, Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rules 13a-11 and 13a-15 thereunder. A copy of a statement that will be made by Mr. Hastings to subscribers on his publicly available Facebook page is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
This is the actual post as it appeared on Facebook back in July:
Included with today's filing is a response from Hastings:
SEC staff questions a Facebook post. Fascinating social media story.
We use blogging and social media, including Facebook, to communicate effectively with the public and our members.
In June we posted on our blog that our members were enjoying "nearly a billion hours per month" of Netflix, and people wrote about this. We did not also issue a press release or 8-K filing about this.
In early July, I publicly posted on Facebook to the over 200,000 of you who subscribe to me that our members had enjoyed over 1 billion hours in June, highlighting how strong our content was. There was press coverage as there are many reporters and bloggers among you, my public followers. Some of you re-posted my post. Again, we did not also issue a press release or file an 8-K about this.
SEC staff informed us yesterday that they are recommending that the SEC bring a civil action against us for my July 1 billion hour public post, asserting we violated "Reg FD". This rule is designed to ensure that individual investors have equal access to information as large institutional investors, by prohibiting selective disclosure of material information. The SEC staff believes that I gave you all "material" investor information in my post and that we needed to instead release the June viewing fact "publicly" with an 8-K filing or press release.
I want to note a few things.
First, we think posting to over 200,000 people is very public, especially because many of my subscribers are reporters and bloggers.
Second, while we think my public Facebook post is public, we don't currently use Facebook and other social media to get material information to investors; we usually get that information out in our extensive investor letters, press releases and SEC filings. We think the fact of 1 billion hours of viewing in June was not "material" to investors, and we had blogged a few weeks before that we were serving nearly 1 billion hours per month.
Finally, while our stock rose the day of my public post, the increase started well before my mid-morning post was out, likely driven by the positive Citigroup research report the evening before.
We remain optimistic this can be cleared up quickly through the SEC's review process.

SAN JOSE -- A cooking fire at a homeless encampment sparked a grass fire on Communications Hill on Saturday afternoon, but it was corralled before it caused any injury or serious damage, the San Jose Fire Department said.
Firefighters were called at 1:48 p.m., but their response was slowed because their equipment that traverses hilly terrain wasn't fully operational since fire season doesn't start for at least another month, said fire Capt. Reggie Williams.
The blaze consumed five acres before firefighters -- with the help of water drops from a Cal Fire helicopter -- brought it under control at 3:32 p.m. No injuries were reported, and nothing other than vegetation burned.
"It was a difficult fire because it was wind-driven, and because of the terrain," Williams said. "Luckily the grass is still fairly green out there."

I'm the worst kind of local. A summer and weekend local. Full timer in minus 6 years and counting. What are the issues? I know they are discussing a pool at the community center. I know building decks over the dunes is an issue. What changes beach, town, surf related are proposed?
Oct 10, 2013, 01:59 PM #4
LeAnn has my vote. She owns multiple businesses on the island, including a hotel, so she has plenty of experience with local business and tourism. She even serves on the town's Planning & Zoning Commission and New Hanover County's Tourism Development Authority. I worked for LeAnn for two years at her old surf shop - she really knows business. Definitely the most qualified in my opinion.
Hey, SCREWBY, keep it down with the pool talk. You don't want to get that started up again. Personally, I'm against the pool; mostly due to the initial construction cost and maintenance expenses. I totally recognize the benefits of having a community pool, but the town simply cannot afford it. You know what we really need? Another "road diet."
I haven't heard much on the decks, so I'll have to check the Gazette archives. The only thing surf related on the chopping block - to my knowledge - is the re-building of the North End jetty. There were talks in council last November, but I haven't heard anything lately.
Can anyone tell me why Ocean Plaza's lot is STILL vacant? What the hell happened to the "Grand Hilton" with the "skywalk?" I really miss the Plaza. I even miss Club Astor. Fortunately, we just got the go-ahead to give the Boardwalk a nice facelift. I'm pretty sure construction begins before the end of the year. It's going to look great!

My Baltimore Ravens coined the slogan "W.I.N" - what's important now. We need a mayor that will be able to prioritize what's important now, all while factoring our town's fiscal standpoint. So while a community pool would be great and everyone would love it, we simply cannot afford it; at least when considering the other areas that need attention. Remember the "state pier" talk a few years ago? Instead of talking things over with the state and so forth, we drop $4 million on an oceanfront lot and took that to the state. The state turned us down and we've been trying to sell the property ever since. I think it's listed around $1-2 million now. Either way, we lost a lot of money, which would have been allocated to other projects. We can't be making decisions like these and we can't accommodate every local swimmer with an Olympic sized swimming pool. Just my .02 cents.
Lastly, I just really can't take much more of this big city political mud-slinging. Sorry, Bob, but I'll never be able to look past that bull**** postcard that you sent out a day or two before the election. It seems like only half the island got it, but the card totally slammed the other canidate. Since it was a day or two before the election, the other canidate did not have a chance to respond. I don't care how they did things up north - this is Carolina Beach and we're a small, beach community. Aside from making political decisions, we need someone that we can trust away from Town Hall. We need someone that's actively involved within our community. We need Dan Wilcox.
This may be my longest post on this forum, so I hope it seves some purpose to all the 458 locals on here. This is our beach! Remember to vote for me when my time comes. DL is out!

Yeah, I heard about the boardwalk facelift. That will be cool. I doubt I'd ever use the pool. I use the condo pool to rinse off the salt water SHHHH.... don't tell anybody. Now at the risk of looking more stupid than I usually do, What is the North End Jetty? Is it the groin thing? The wooden posts in the ground that extend into the ocean on the north side of the pier?

In the same council meeting about the beach renourishment, they talked about the need to mend the North End jetty. Apparently, there are large boulders scattered around the area, which need to be moved. Rather than removing them from the water (to sell to another town), they were considering using the same boulders for the proposed jetty. Hell, we need one up there. I haven't heard much since, so things may have changed. I usually stick to my block anyway.

Heavy equipment and trucks paraded into Sunset Heights near U.S. 177 and Interstate 40 Friday, where crews contracted by Pottawatomie County commissioners began the task of removing tornado-related debris.
The neighborhood was one of many with damage after tornadoes moved across Pottawatomie County May 19, killing two people and destroying homes in the path.
District 1 Pottawatomie County Commissioner Melissa Dennis said on the first day, crews hauled away about 434 cubic yards of vegetation from Twilight Lane in that addition, along with about 339 cubic yards of construction-related debris from Calle La Venta Street.
Crews will resume work at 7 a.m. today, she said.
Pottawatomie County commissioners, who awarded bids for the clean up to an Alabama company, anticipate there is about 30,000 cubic yards of waste to be picked up in county areas affected by the storms.
District 2 Commissioner Randy Thomas, who has a lot of tornado debris in his area, said he and Dennis will split the crews and five to eight trucks between their two districts.
He expects to have two trucks in Steelman Estates Monday and then have the other two start at the western Pottawatomie County line and slowly work east.
"We'll hit the ground running," he said.
Crews will take tree limbs and that type of debris to a burn area in Shawnee, while the other types of debris have to be hauled to landfills.
In his district, Thomas anticipates they'll get tree limbs first since they have a close drop off point, and then crews will begin hauling items of mixed debris to the landfills.
Watch for updates.

- Funding boost of nearly $1 billion proposed for California's community colleges
- Jan 13:
- California budget thrift praised, despite questionable allocations
- Jan 9:
- California budget: Gov. Jerry Brown begins sprint toward re-election
- Jan 8:
- State budget: Gov. Jerry Brown proposes paying down wall of debt, continues calls for restraint
Here are some highlights of state budget released by the Brown administration on Thursday:
K-12 SCHOOLS -- Average per-pupil state guarantee funding projected to increase from $8,469 this school year to $9,194 next year. With billions being repaid to schools, they will get an 11.4 percent increase from this year.
HIGHER EDUCATION -- CSU and UC will see a 5 percent increase ($142 million each), as promised last year in the governor's multi-year plan for higher education, as long as they don't raise tuition and fees. Community colleges, whose funding is tied to a constitutional guarantee also covering K-12 schools, will receive a boost of 11 percent. The Middle Class Scholarship, a subsidy for families earning up to $150,000, will take effect this year.
TRANSPORTATION -- Allocates $250 million for high-speed rail from cap-and-trade proceeds and another $50 million to modernize existing rail systems across the state. California's aging highways and streets would get an infusion of $337 million for repaving and maintenance work next fiscal year instead of in 2015-16. The DMV would get funding to establish five temporary offices throughout the state, including one in the South Bay, and may offer appointments on Saturdays at some locations.
HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES -- Proposed $118 billion budget include $670 million to bolster Medi-Cal, the state's health program for the poor. Includes a proposed $2 billion for In-Home Supportive Services, a 6.4 percent increase over the 2013-14 budget and $2.8 billion -- a 1.2 percent increase from last fiscal year -- to augment the federal Supplemental Security Income program, which provides a monthly cash benefit to eligible aged, blind and disabled people.
PARKS AND ENVIRONMENT -- For the first time in years, the budget contains good news for state parks. No parks will be closed, no entrance fees raised and $40 million in new money is proposed to pay down the parks' long-standing $1 billion in deferred maintained for roads, water systems, museums and trails. Meanwhile, the Brown administration projects that the state will receive $850 million in money from the state's greenhouse gas auctions in the year ahead. It is proposing that $550 million of that pay for projects to conserve water, restore wetlands, make state buildings energy efficient and reduce fire risk in forests. The budget also calls for reducing the Coastal Commission budget from $17 million back to $14 million, a level where it was two years ago.
COURTS -- California's court system, which has absorbed hundreds of millions of dollars in budget cuts during the state's financial crisis, got a slight dose of help in the governor's budget -- but nowhere near what judicial leaders were seeking. The overall court budget would increase from about $3.1 billion to $3.27 billion in the governor's plan. The bulk would be for the state's 58 trial courts, which increase from $2.4 billion to $2.5 billion. But much of that would be offset by the fact trial courts, at the direction of the governor, have depleted their budget reserves in recent years to pay for budget cuts. The governor also indicated that far more judicial branch employees must start paying a share of retirement costs, noting that many court employees still do not contribute anything despite state pension reforms.

Creating and editing pivot table reports
Overview of pivot table reports
A pivot table report is a dynamic table that lets you interpret data in different ways without ever having to enter a formula. Pivot table reports are particularly useful when you want to narrow down a large data set or analyze relationships between data points.
In just a few clicks, you can summarize and analyze a large set of data through different categorizations and calculations. For example, from a list of students in a college class, you can get a quick understanding of the the age distribution of and number of science majors in the class.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you're building a pivot table report:
- Always organize your data into columns. Column headers become the fields that you add into your pivot table report.
- Google Sheets will automatically detect a range of cells for your pivot table. If you don't manually select a range of cells, Google Sheets will do it for you. You can edit this data range at any point.
- Drag fields to other categories to change your data analysis quickly and easily.
- You can create multiple pivot table reports from the same set of data. Simply go back to the data source and create a new pivot table report. It will create a new pivot table report on a separate sheet.
- Pivot tables created in Microsoft Excel can be uploaded and converted to Google Sheets, and pivot table reports created in Google Sheets can be downloaded and converted to Microsoft Excel format. This lets you continue to analyze your data no matter what format you're working in.

- Mar 2:
- George Shirakawa Jr.'s former constituents dismayed by charges
- Mar 1:
- Shirakawa's exit highlights county's rules for succession
- Herhold: Shirakawa case a triumph for the prosecution, disgrace for politician
- Letter: Shirakawa blames gambling addiction, depression for crimes
- DA: Supervisor George Shirakawa deceived public for years, had a secret slush fund
The felony charges filed by District Attorney Jeff Rosen this week bring George Shirakawa's political career to an end. After a painstaking investigation by Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu-Towery, investigator Michael Brown and the state Fair Political Practices Commission, the Santa Clara County supervisor's pattern of manipulating accounts to gain personal use of both taxpayers' money and campaign contributions was irrefutable. Shirakawa has resigned and will plead guilty. Prosecutors want him to serve a year in jail.
With that, Shirakawa joins a seemingly endless parade of accused public officials who, after self-righteously declaring their innocence and claiming to be victims of persecution, finally admit their guilt and leave office in disgrace. We will never understand it. Nobody expects an instant confession when accusations arise, but what do office holders think will happen when a district attorney starts investigating allegations they know are true? What possible good can come of outright lying to the public when they're sure to be exposed? As if the crime itself didn't cause enough damage to the public trust.
As some public documents hinted earlier, a gambling habit was at least part of Shirakawa's downfall. He apparently spent $115,000 of contributors' and taxpayers' money at casinos. Addiction is a powerful motivator, but it does not excuse the very deliberate manipulation of accounts, including establishing a slush fund for illegal cash gifts. We may never know if those thousands in cash came from people or organizations that benefitted from Shirakawa's votes on the board.
All of this makes a mockery of the contention by Shirakawa's friends and associates that, while he may have been lax in reporting and made some mistakes, he never meant to do anything wrong. In fact it's virtually inconceivable that people close to Shirakawa didn't know he had a gambling problem; the extent of activity shown in financial records would be very hard to conceal from associates. Staff members who took up the George-as-victim story when these revelations began were either incredibly weak or complicit -- enablers at best.
The defense insulted Shirakawa's East San Jose constituency. The supervisor's tearful claim that authorities and the media didn't like him because of the color of his skin -- or maybe because he's a Raiders' fan? -- mocked the real prejudice and poverty-based barriers that some ethnic minorities face in trying to make good in Silicon Valley.
Now that the extent of Shirakawa's misconduct has been laid bare, it's also harder than ever to see how the Registrar of Voters and county auditors failed to act for so long: How many warning letters do you write before thinking, hey, maybe we should go to the next level? The county has tightened some policies in recent months, but the investigators' report raises questions of basic competency.
We don't believe Shirakawa has faked compassion for his constituents. He has been a strong advocate for them; his poignant stories of growing up on the East Side can bring tears to listeners' eyes. As a San Jose city councilman, he accomplished a great deal for his district, whose loyalty was not surprising.
But the warning signs of financial and ethical problems were there from the start, from child support issues to the fact that he never had a real career before being appointed to his late father's City Council seat at 32.
In some ways, Shirakawa fits the classic definition of a tragic hero: A man with good intentions but possessed of a sense of entitlement and invincibility that would be his downfall. The role of addiction and depression, both of which he acknowledged Friday, add other dimensions, but the result is the same.
Shirakawa could have been a role model for the people he wanted to serve. If he finds a way to do that in the future, it won't be in public office.

A new deck or patio can be the perfect gathering place, adding a new dimension to your yard and creating space that you didn't even know you had. A well-planned outdoor living space can become a home owner's backyard getaway, but the wrong deck or patio can end up as unused dead space. Keep the following in mind and you'll find yourself enjoying the sunshine from your outdoor retreat in no time.
When deciding on whether you'd like your new outdoor haven to be a patio or deck, first do some research. Most areas have building codes or terrains that dictate one or the other. Pike County Builders Association and this weekend's Home and Garden Show held at Delaware Valley High School can be a good source of information. It can explain differences between decks and patios, provide answers about cost of the project, and offer information on a variety of other home and garden improvements.
For home owners on a budget, a sand and stone or brick patio could be a wise choice. Stone, brick, and concrete pavers are available in a range of styles and colors and are durable. Site preparation is important for drainage, grade, and proper placement, and can be a lot of work for the DIYer. Weeds also can pose more of a problem with patios. When in doubt, leave it to a professional with the experience, not to mention the equipment.
Flagstone and concrete patios also are popular among home owners. If you have pets, consider a raised deck. Remnants from sand and stone patios easily find their ways into clean houses. A raised deck also may work as a better option for low-lying yards that tend to become soggy when it rains.
Most decks are made of wood, ranging from pressure-treated pine and fir to more durable woods such as red cedar, redwoods, and tropical hardwoods. No matter what the type, wood decks require protection.
To reduce the amount of maintenance, consider composite and vinyl decking. These materials are less susceptible to swelling and also are more resistant to insects.
Concrete decks are the most durable and require only the occasional pressure wash and periodic re-sealing. They're no longer just drab grey; concrete is now available in a variety of styles, colors, and patterns.
Before beginning your outdoor project, assess your space. Where do you have the best sunlight? Do you want to use your space for dining or grilling? If so, do you have a large enough area for tables and chairs? Is there one area of the yard that is quieter and has more privacy from neighbors? A good home builder, remodeler, or landscape architect can help you design a master plan that's right for your space.
Page 2 of 2 - The new ideas begin this weekend at the Pike County Builders Association Home and Garden Show. Over 40 exhibitors will present their portfolio of services intended to enhance the inside and the outside of your home and your yard and simplify everyday activities. The event is planned Saturday, April 12, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 13, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Delaware Valley High School. See www.pikecountybuilders.org for more information.
Paul Szostak is past Pike County Builders Association President and owner of Timbercrest Builders.

HOUSTON -- In baseball, almost everybody knows almost everybody else, and that was certainly the case Friday in Minute Maid Park when the A's and Houston Astros met for the first time this season.
Oakland's starting shortstop, Jed Lowrie, played for Houston last year. The A's starter at first base, Nate Freiman, played in the Astros minor league system.
Houston's starting pitcher, Brad Peacock, was in the A's minor league system last year. The starting left fielder, Chris Carter, split time at first base in Oakland last year.
And there was reliever Travis Blackley, who joined the Astros for the first time Friday after they claimed him on waivers from the A's. Oakland had needed roster space and put Blackley, a key ingredient in the A's 2012 run to the playoffs, on the designated for assignment list, which ultimately landed him on waivers.
Lowrie said it wasn't as odd this time as it was last year, when he moved from his first big league team, the Boston Red Sox, to the Astros. And he's happy to be back in Houston, even for a little bit, because he and his family have decided to live in Houston in the off-season.
"The weather is brutal in the summer, but we'll mostly be here in the fall and winter," Lowrie said. "We've got friends in the area, too."
Carter said he imagined Peacock would have an extra case of nerves in making his first Houston start, and against his old club.
"This is his first start with the team, and he's going to be trying to impress," Carter said. "As for me, I'm excited to get the chance to play somewhere every day, and I'm sure it's the same for Brandon Moss."
Blackley said he'd been doing some of the touristy things in the Bay Area while waiting things out, although he once again didn't make it to Alcatraz, which isn't open for the season quite yet.
Now he's excited to get back on the mound. The A's might see Blackley this weekend, but while he's been working out since being designated for assignment, he hasn't faced a batter in a while. The Astros may give him a little time to work his way back.
If it happens, Blackley would welcome it.
"I've been around so many years that I'm always facing old teammates," he said. "This would be different, facing nine of them in a row."
And he's looking forward to being on the same side as Carter again.
"I've seen him hit some big home runs," Blackley said. "Not just in big situations, but big home runs. He hit one against the Mariners that hasn't landed yet."
Moss is away from the team with his wife, who is ready to go into labor. But the club doesn't want to put Moss on paternity leave just yet because if it's a false alarm, he could be back any day.
"There's no baby yet," manager Bob Melvin said. "It's probably too soon (to have Moss on official leave). He's back in the Bay Area, but for now he's on the roster."
Peterson hit up a storm this spring after saying it was his goal to make such an impression that he'd be the first player the A's would turn to in a time of need. And while Oakland only used him as an outfielder, first base is his natural position, and he's been taking ground balls there.
"They took me out of the game opening night (in Sacramento against Las Vegas) and I was wondering what it could be," Peterson said. "They told me what was going on, and here I am."
Peterson's parents, Brad and Sue, had been in Sacramento for the opener, but they were able to scramble to get a flight to Houston to be on hand just in case Peterson gets activated and makes his big league debut.
Under terms of his 50-game suspension for the use of performance-enhancing drugs, Colon can't even be in the stands during a regular-season game.
But Saturday is Day 51, and he'll be on the mound, pitching against the Astros' Bud Norris.
"Colon looked the same to me (in spring training)," Melvin said. "His velocity was there, and all his pitches were there."
And as for not seeing him at the park, Melvin smiled and said, "I don't see Bart all that much when he's here. He just does his thing."
Vogt, who was a somewhat amazing 0-for-25 in 18 big league games with the Rays, hit .272 with nine homers for Triple-A Durham last year and will report to Triple-A Sacramento.
To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the A's designated right-handed pitcher Dan Otero for assignment.

SAN FRANCISCO -- It was evident early on Friday night that starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner wasn't as sharp as usual. It was going to be one of those nights where he needed to find a way to grind it out.
Bumgarner did just that as he relied more upon his hitting prowess -- blasting a go-ahead fourth-inning grand slam and knocking in five runs -- than his pitching acumen in the Giants' 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies at AT&T Park.
"That's quite a night, five RBI," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He wasn't quite as sharp (on the mound) but he found a way to win the game, and he did it with the bat tonight."
The Giants snapped a two-game losing streak with a win in the first of three games against the Rockies and before a sold-out crowd. In the process, the Giants remained tied with the Dodgers atop the National League West.
Sergio Romo closed out the game by striking out the three batters he faced for his third save. He also showed no lingering effects from the cramps he experienced Thursday as a result of the flu.
Bumgarner struggled from the outset Friday, but he persevered and made enough quality pitches when he needed to most.
The Rockies got their leadoff batter on base in four of the first five innings and managed seven hits and two walks during that span. But Bumgarner limited the damage and prevented the Rockies from building an insurmountable lead.
The Giants finally erupted in the fourth with an improbable two-out rally. Brandon Hicks got hit by a pitch to load the bases and Brandon Crawford walked to force in a run, cutting the deficit to 3-2 and bringing Bumgarner to the plate.
Bumgarner plated the Giants first run with a fly ball to left that Carlos Gonzalez caught with his back against the wall in the third inning. Bumgarner left no doubt in his next at-bat, with his prodigious blast landing about halfway up the bleachers in left and fans showering Bumgarner with cheers and screams as he rounded the bases.
Just like that, with one mighty swing Bumgarner turned a one-run deficit into a three-run cushion.
"They don't really expect a whole lot out of pitchers, so we get to go up there with no pressure," Bumgarner said. "It's easier to hit that way but, at the same time, it's the hardest thing to do in sports."
Bumgarner picked an ideal game to show off his batting skills, in part because of his shakiness on the mound but also because Bochy gave leadoff hitter Angel Pagan and cleanup hitter Buster Posey the night off.
Someone needed to pick up the slack. Bumgarner wasn't waiting around. Have bat, will do damage.
Those who watch batting practice on a regular basis know Bumgarner has plenty of power and isn't out of his comfort zone in the batter's box.
Far more people have come to know Bumgarner as the Giants ace and one of the game's most consistent pitchers. But even he isn't immune from off nights.
The Rockies scored a run on three hits and a walk in the first, then upped the lead to 3-0 in the third on a Gonzalez line shot, two run home run into McCovey Cove.
Just like that, the Rockies had amassed more earned runs off Bumgarner than he allowed in his first two starts combined this season.
Furthermore, that matched the most earned runs allowed by Bumgarner in 22 starts, dating to June 1, 2013, when he surrendered five to the St. Louis Cardinals.
His streak ended at 21 when he allowed a fourth run in the sixth. Yet, the Giants led 6-4 when he departed for a pinch-hitter in the sixth and Bumgarner had plenty of reason to feel good about his all-around effort.
Bochy said Affeldt is slated to pitch again Saturday in San Jose. Affeldt's injured right knee is holding up fine so far. Now, it's a matter of building up his arm and stamina.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A judge has removed a juror from the panel that is deliberating a verdict in the trial of an Oklahoma police captain charged with manslaughter in a teen's shooting death.
District Judge Donald Deason removed the female juror and replaced her with the female alternate in the case of Del City police Capt. Randy Harrison. Deason took the action after the jury foreperson reported one juror was refusing to vote or participate in the deliberation process.
The forewoman says the jury's most recent vote was 10-1 with one abstention. She says the abstaining juror was removed. She did not say what verdict the jury favored.
Prosecutors say Harrison "crossed the line" when he shot Dane Scott Jr. in 2012. Defense attorneys say the police officer believed Scott had a gun.

BERKELEY -- New Cal football coach Sonny Dykes' holiday gift to the Golden Bears' fan base: open practices.
"Open the gate. Come on in," Dykes said, when asked about his policy on opening practice to the public. "We don't have any secrets."
With rare exception, practices in recent years under former coach Jeff Tedford have been closed to media and fans. Dykes said it won't be that way going forward.
"I don't know why you wouldn't want (fans) there," he said. "This is not my program. This is Cal's program. They should be engaged and they should be able to check it out.
"It's their program."
During an informal Q&A session with about a half-dozen local reporters, Dykes said spring practice will run from late February through late March, finishing before spring break begins on March 23. He expects to conduct 3 p.m. workouts, and they will be accessible to fans.
The Bears likely will hold afternoon workouts in-season, except on Mondays, when they will go at 7 p.m. Sunday will be an off day for players.
Dykes formally announced the hiring of Andy Buh as his defensive coordinator, several days after the news became public. Buh (pronounced Boo) will arrive in Berkeley within a couple days after the Jan. 1 Rose Bowl, where he will coach Wisconsin's linebackers against Stanford.
Because Dykes is an offensive coach, he said Buh's hiring was his most important one. "I was just incredibly comfortable with him," Dykes said. "He fits my personality. He's intense and positive. It's hard to find positive defensive guys. They're usually pessimistic."
Dykes said he hopes to have his entire staff hired possibly by the end of this week, although the announcements will depend on when Cal's human resources department completes the paperwork.
Randy Stewart reportedly will coach defensive backs, and Buh will supervise linebackers. Still to be named are assistants for offensive line, defensive line and one other defensive coach.
On other topics:
Areas of need to improve depth, he said, are running back, wide receiver and on both lines.

FDA requires that pharmaceutical companies create and maintain pre-approval batch records for both generic and brand drugs. In general, a company can do so without risking infringing any patents covering manufacture of a drug. Congress enacted the so-called "safe harbor" provision of the Hatch–Waxman Act in 1984 specifically allowing pharmaceutical companies to test their products prior to obtaining regulatory approval to market them (1). Under that provision:
The decision has major consequences for the industry. If the Hatch–Waxman Act protects post-approval batch testing, the value of patents on analytical methods, particularly covering biosimilars, may significantly decrease.
Chief Judge Rader, who authored the majority opinion in Classen, issued a lengthy and sharply worded dissent in Momenta, criticizing his fellow judges for failing to follow Classen (12). Judge Moore, who authored the majority opinion in Momenta and a dissent in Classen, saw it differently. She squared the Classen and Momenta decisions noting that, in Classen, there was no requirement that Biogen or GSK submit any data to FDA. By contrast in Momenta, FDA required analytical records for each batch of enoxoparin produced in order to maintain regulatory approval (13).
Whether one can reconcile these two decisions, the Supreme Court could very well end up resolving the issue. GSK filed a petition for certiorari asking the Supreme Court to clarify "[w]hether the Federal Circuit's interpretation of § 271(e)(1) [in Classen], which arbitrarily restricts the safe harbor to preapproval activities, is faithful to statutory text that contains no such limitation, and decisions of this Court rejecting similar efforts to impose extratextual limitations on the statute" (14). The Supreme Court may welcome the opportunity to provide its guidance on the scope of Hatch–Waxman's safe harbor—an issue the high court has addressed twice before (15)—especially in light of this seeming inconsistency in Federal Circuit precedent in this area of the law.

Plain Clip
Plain Clip is a small application that removes formatting from text which is on the clipboard. It's designed as a faceless application (no GUI), which makes it ideal for triggering it from a hotkey and launcher applications such as Spark, iKey, LaunchBar, QuickSilver or Butler.
Required OS: 10.4
Tags: utility , productivity , clipboard

I recommend ClipMenu as it gives you plain text pasting plus as many clipboards saved as you like.
You can give ClipMenu hotkeys as well.
ok: how do you bind a keystroke in Quicksilver? Do you mean you give it a trigger?
I've been using Plain Clip for a long while - it's one of those great utilities that you set up, rely on, and then forget that they are even there. It went away when I upgraded to Leopard and it took me forever to track this great little app back down (but I'm glad that I did!). I bind it to command-option-v in Quicksilver.
I used to paste and cut text through a "text stripping buffer" in Notational Velocity. I now have Plain Clip bound to a hotkey via QuickSilver to accomplish the same thing, and it's been working pretty well so far.

About the Book
Vienna, 1913. Lysander Rief, a young English actor in town seeking psychotherapy, is caught up in a feverish affair with a beautiful, enigmatic woman—until she goes to the police to press charges of rape. Only a frenzied getaway plotted by two mysterious British diplomats saves him from trial. But after Lysander returns to a London on the cusp of war, the traumatic ordeal haunts him at every turn. The men who coordinated his escape recruit him to carry out a brutal murder. His lover shows up at a party, ready to resume their liaison. Suddenly plunged into the dangerous theater of wartime intelligence—a murky world of sex, scandal, and spies—Lysander must unravel a secret that threatens Britain's safety.
Moving from Vienna to London's West End, from the battlefields of France to hotel rooms in Geneva, Waiting for Sunrise is a mesmerizing journey into the human psyche, a beautifully observed portrait of wartime Europe, a plot-twisting thriller, and a literary tour de force.

WALNUT CREEK -- Food trucks bearing gourmet goodies are just around The Bend.
A food truck market dubbed "The Bend" is on track to set up shop on Main Street, at the site of former French restaurant Le Virage, in March. The family behind Le Virage -- French for "the turn" -- are the owners and operators of The Bend, which will offer eight rotating food trucks six days a week for lunch and dinner.
Le Virage, remembered for its Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec-themed murals that once adorned its funky building, operated for 34 years before closing in 2005. The building burned down seven years later.
The name for the food market comes from its location, at the bend in the road where California Boulevard and Main Street split near the Walnut Creek BART Station, said Matt Marinelli, co-owner of the market. He and his father Ed, former manager at Le Virage, are the duo behind the market. With a preliminary approval from city planners, The Bend should be open by March 1.
"We are trying to create a diverse food environment and plan to never have two trucks with the same kind of food at the same time," Matt Marinelli said.
The Bend will be the first daily food truck market in Contra Costa County.
Originally another duo wanted to start a food truck market at the Le Virage site, and one at the Martinez marina, but those plans fell apart, according to Marinelli.
He believes the secret to The Bend's success will be location.
"We are in a really good area; there is nothing like us around," he said. "There is literally a food void in the area. The closest restaurant is a quarter-of-a-mile away."
The market will back up to buildings which house 2,000 offices, and several car dealerships are nearby. And for many it's a little too far to walk to downtown Walnut Creek, especially for lunch, said Walnut Creek Community Development Director Sandra Meyer. In economic development terms, she said, having a food truck market may attract more office rentals.
"That office market is really underserved in terms of services," Meyer said. "We think it's going to really help get the vacancy rate down over there."
There will also be parking spaces for those who don't live or work in the area, Marinelli said.
The Bend still needs final approval from the city Planning Commission, which will probably come in the next few months.
A food truck smackdown may be coming to Walnut Creek, with mobile food giant Off the Grid -- which has markets across the Bay Area -- trying to set up a weekly market downtown. The city has no mechanism to allow such a use, Meyer said. But Walnut Creek Downtown, formerly the business association, may work with the city on a code amendment that would allow Off the Grid to set up shop, Meyer said.
This could lead to some opposition from downtown brick-and-mortar restaurants whose owners "aren't wild about the idea," she said.
But one person who is excited about food trucks in Walnut Creek is Kiem Nguyen, owner of Blue Saigon, a Vietnamese food truck that has signed on with The Bend. Walnut Creek is the place to go to eat, he said, so it makes sense to have food trucks there, and a variety of them.
"When there are a lot of trucks, it attracts more people because people want a selection," he said. "People bring the whole family and everyone can eat a little bit of everything."

Facebook Starts Mobile Payments in France
Smartphone customers of France Telecom 's Orange can pay directly for services on Facebook , such as virtual gifts and games credits, through their phone bills. The service will be powered by Bango, as it is in the U.S., Germany and the U.K. which were the first countries to go live in September.
Subscribers will be able to pay for content which uses Facebook's HTML5 environment. Orange is France's largest mobile carrier with 26 million subscribers, according to TechCrunch.
Bango says that users connecting using WiFi also get access to the payment facility, and the service works across iOS, Android, Windows Phone and bada devices.
The promise of carrier billing is that it is significantly easier to execute, requiring only two clicks, and therefore has a higher conversion rate among consumers. Bango — which also works with BlackBerry (powering carrier billing in its App World), Windows Phone Store, Amazon and individual brands like CNN and EA Mobile — says that conversion rates for carrier-billing can be up to 77%, compared to 40% for other mobile-based billing services like premium SMS or credit cards.

Jericho Brown Selected to Enhance Artistic Portfolio at Radcliffe Institute
University of San Diego Assistant Professor of English Jericho Brown, Ph.D., has become the most recent Bunting Fellow addition to the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. As a fellow, Brown joins an esteemed group of more than 1,400 scholars, scientists, artists, writers and musicians.
Historically, the Radcliffe Institute was intended as a place for female scholars and artists to do post-graduate work, but today, Radcliffe Institute Fellowships are designed to support men and women scholars, scientists, artists and writers of exceptional promise and demonstrated accomplishments. Fellows are given a time free of teaching, financial support and access to all Radcliffe and Harvard resources.
The mission of the Radcliffe Institute is to create an advanced and nurturing academic community while sustaining a continued commitment to the study of women, gender and society. The Chronicle of Higher Education describes the Institute as a place where "lives get turned around, books get written and discoveries are made, all the result of time spent among intellectual peers."
Brown worked as speechwriter for the Mayor of New Orleans before receiving his Ph.D. in Creative Writing and Literature from the University of Houston. He also holds an M.F.A. from the University of New Orleans and a B.A. from Dillard University. His poems have appeared in The Iowa Review, jubilat, New England Review, and Prairie Schooner, and many other journals and anthologies. He is the recipient of a Cave Canem Fellowship, two scholarships to the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference, and two travel fellowships to the Krakow Poetry Seminar in Poland.
He has recently received wide acclaim for his recently released book of poetry entitled Please. Brown focuses his work on poetry and creative writing, often circling the topics of sexuality and African American male identity, which is explored in his most recent publication.

Algeta and Bayer file for MAA
13.12.2012 - Algeta ASA has baged a €50m milestone after its partner Bayer Healthcare AG submitted a MAA to the European Medicines Agency.
Last year, the companies demonstrated improved overall survival with radium-223 dichloride (radium-223, previously Alpharadin) as a treatment in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with bone metastases. The milestone is part of a €560m licence deal signed in 2009 by the German drug developer and the Oslo-based specialist for alpha particle-emitting cancer pharmaceuticals.
The submission is based on data from the pivotal phase III ALSYMPCA (ALpharadin in SYMptomatic Prostate CAncer) trial, which was conducted by Algeta. In the study, radium-223 increased overall survival by 44%, resulting in a 30.5% reduction in the risk of death compared to placebo. The median overall survival (OS) benefit in patients with radium-223 was 3.6 months, based on 14.9 months OS with radium-223 plus best standard of care (BSoC) vs. 11.3 months with placebo plus BSoC.
Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men worldwide. In 2008, an estimated 899,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 258,000 died from the disease worldwide. Prostate cancer is the sixth leading cause of death from cancer in men. A majority of men with CRPC have radiological evidence of bone metastases.

Coaches for Livermore High boys and girls basketball teams said basically the same thing when asked to predict the upcoming East Bay Athletic League races.
"I honestly think it's De La Salle and Monte Vista at the top," Cowboys boys coach James Petersdorf said. "They're both pretty loaded, and I really think the rest of the league is all very equal."
Cowboys girls coach Matthew Garza, whose young team is paced by sophomore guard Rachel Hernandez, echoed those sentiments.
"It's Carondelet and Monte Vista until someone beats them," Garza said. "Monte Vista returns everybody, and they're going to be good. Carondelet is the returning champ, and they're already playing really well. After that I think we're all pretty much even."
Certainly the teams not named De La Salle/Carondelet or Monte Vista don't plan to just step aside when EBAL action begins after the holiday break.
In fact Livermore's boys and girls teams, which will compete in Division II in the postseason, entered the week with an impressive 15-2 combined record.
The Cowboys girls team could be fun to watch. They aren't exactly a tall order, so they need to do the other things well.
"Our starting lineup is a freshman, two sophomores and two seniors," Garza said. "We're not very big. Our tallest girl is 5-foot-9, and then we're all pretty short after that. But they play pretty hard, and they shoot the ball pretty well."
Livermore's boys team, which has four returning starters from last season, is led by Chad Wilkinson, an honorable mention all-EBAL pick, and center Jason Moran, who's averaging 13 rebounds a game. Andrei Kasten burst onto the scene with 20 points in a 75-52 win over Rancho Cotate-Rohnert Park on Dec. 15.
Petersdorf describes Wilkinson as the "backbone of the team" and a team leader.
"It's just a good group of returning kids with a nice mixture of the JV kids that came up," Petersdorf said. "They've been jelling with the other guys all summer."
A key for the Cowboys could be staying positive and expecting success in the tougher EBAL. Livermore got a confidence boost by winning two of their final three league games last season.
"There's been a nice carry-over for us. We've built on that momentum," Petersdorf said. "I think our guys are genuinely feeling that they can go out and win league games."
DUBLIN HOLDS COURT: The Dublin boys basketball showed impressive depth in winning the Don Nelson Classic championship on Dec. 15.
With standout Joe McGlaston away at his brother's wedding for the championship game, the Gaels still beat a solid Heritage team 66-63.
McGlaston had been averaging 18 points and 12 rebounds a game. To get the job done, the Gaels rebounded very well and had balanced scoring with four players in double figures.
Jamir Andrews, the tournament MVP who had 21 points in the final, hit two clutch free throws with 8 seconds left to up the lead to three points. Cameron Moses, a shooting guard, had 10 rebounds.
"To beat a good Heritage team in those circumstances was pretty impressive," Dublin coach Tom Costello said. "After a pretty rugged tournament in Gridley, to come back and win our tournament in back-to-back years is pretty good. We played pretty decent California team, and then Concord, which beat us last year, to avenge that loss was pretty satisfying."
