STOCKTON – Authorities on Thursday released the names of four men who were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a police officer after engaging officers in a fierce gun battle Wednesday evening at a southwest Stockton elementary school.
Police identified the men as Deandre Adams, 22; Juan Barnes, 19; Terrance Lee Adams, 23; and Jose Mario Gonzalez, 30. All four are facing charges of carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, possession of an assault rifle, possession of a high-capacity magazine and attempted murder of a police officer, authorities said.
They are accused of opening fire on police after a traffic stop led to a foot pursuit Wednesday at August Knodt Elementary School in Weston Ranch. Officers returned fire, wounding Deandre Adams, who remained hospitalized Thursday after undergoing surgery, authorities said.
There were three San Joaquin County Sheriff's deputies and one Stockton Police officer involved in the shooting. All four have been placed on a three-day paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure for officer-involved shootings.
The Police Department identified Officer Houston Sensabaugh as one of the officers involved in the shooting. The Sheriff's Office said it would identify its deputies when they return from administrative leave.

When it Comes to Intervention for Autism, is Earlier Better?
Guest Staff Blogger: Alycia Halladay, Ph.D.
This was one of the major questions addressed at the International Meeting for Autism Research Meeting this week. Researchers from around the world – the U.S., UK and Canada, presented their research on the effects of early intense behavioral interventions to treat, and sometimes prevent, symptoms of autism spectrum disorders. Both parent training and clinic-based models were assessed. In many cases, a mix of both was used. While one study found that parent training alone was not effective in improving the symptoms of autism, a group in Canada found that parental training in applied behavioral analysis in children as young as 19 months, together with participation in the intervention process allowed parents to feel more empowered, independent, and reduced stress levels. Another randomized clinical trial in children screened and enrolled as young as 12 months showed that targeting social communication skills increased communication at follow up and decreased hypresponsiveness to sensory stimuli, possibly reducing symptoms of anxiety in children at risk for autism.
Early Behavioral Intervention may not only lead to improvements in functioning (as many as 50 percent of those enrolled in one study went on to a more mainstreamed school system) but also produce long lasting improvements. At the Kennedy Krieger Institute, using a 10 hour/week, 6 month classroom based curricula focusing on shared affect, shared affect and joint attention compared to an intervention protocol that did not target these behaviors, those in the treatment group showed improvements on more aspects of functioning, and these improvements lasted 2-6 years after starting in the study. An additional study at the University of Washington reported follow up data from the Early Start Denver Model, which is a comprehensive protocol targeting cognition, motor, language and social domains. Looking at what may have affected improved outcome using this model, researchers found that while individuals with less severe autism were more responsive to intervention, both those with mild and severe autism, and those who had high and low IQ at the start of the study all showed some response to treatment. What was exciting about the Early Start Denver Model was a presentation by a researcher at the University of California Davis who is adapting the training and implementation of the protocol using a web-based application, providing live 2-way interaction to families that lived miles, or thousands of miles away from a treatment facility. This affords more flexibility and accessibility to families on waitlists for early intervention treatments.
So is earlier better? The scientific consensus is yes, but what does "early" mean, and in what settings? The research is promising and encouraging, but more needs to be done, not only in identifying candidates for early intervention of autism, but in delivering evidence-based interventions that will be beneficial for the entire family.
The conference continues through Saturday. To read complete coverage from IMFAR, please visit http://www.autismspeaks.org/science/science_news/imfar_2010.php

Children who receive early intervention are not a random sample of children with autism, but are rather those children whose symptoms manifest early. We don't know if they have the same disorder as those children who manifest later, and appear to regress.

You are so right Jean.
It is so frustrating to be told that new research can detect autism at 6months or 1year. My son was not autistic then.
I wish there was the Same emphasis on actually treating all forms of autism rather than the thousandth study on EI. Everyone gets that- don't wait if you think there is a problem. But 99 percent of the work comes AFTER the dx

MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW) -- A 24-year-old Martinez man was arrested after allegedly throwing a drink at a car on Oakley Pirkle Road.
Tyler William Davitte was charged with reckless conduct after being arrested Tuesday.
A woman said she saw Davitte stand up in a car's sunroof and throw the drink at her car. She says the drink went through an open window and spilled the orange beverage all over the backseat and on a passenger.
The woman called 911 and followed Davitte until deputies were able to catch up to him near Hereford Farm Road.
Davitte later admitted to deputies he threw a cup from the car.
In 2010, Davitte was arrested in connection to an investigation of underage drinking, drug activity and sex crimes at a Martinez home.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Yahoo (YHOO) has refreshed its logo for the first time since shortly after the Internet company's founding 18 years ago.
The new look unveiled late Wednesday is part of a makeover that Yahoo has been undergoing since the Sunnyvale company hired Google (GOOG) executive Marissa Mayer to become Yahoo's CEO 14 months ago.
Mayer has already spruced up Yahoo's front page, email and Flickr photo-sharing service, as well as engineered a series of acquisitions aimed at attracting more traffic on mobile devices. The shopping spree has been highlighted by Yahoo's $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr, an Internet blogging service where the company rolled out its new logo.
The redesigned logo retains some of the elements of the old one, including the company's official color, purple. Yahoo's familiar exclamation point, meant to punctuate a yodeling sound that has long been the company's calling card, is still there, too, but with a twist. When visitors come to Yahoo's front page or an app, the exclamation point dances across some of the lettering before settling at the end of the company's name at a slight tilt of 9 degrees.
"We knew we wanted a logo that reflected Yahoo -- whimsical, yet sophisticated," Mayer wrote on her Tumblr account. She hailed the redesigned looks as "modern and fresh, with a nod to our history. Having a human touch, personal. Proud."
Mayer, 38, said she spent most of one weekend this summer figuring out what the new logo should look like with four other Yahoo colleagues: Bob Stohrer, Marc DeBartolomeis, Russ Khaydarov, and an intern, Max Ma.
In an effort to drum up more interest in the changeover, Yahoo spent the past 30 days showing some of the proposed logos that Mayer and her helpers cast aside.
Reaction online was swift and at brutal after the new look was unveiled late Wednesday night.
"Sooooo ugly!!" blasted @JakeTMG on Twitter. "Oh my god!! It looks even worse than their old logo! @Yahoo this is disgusting."
Posters took the new style to task for its "ugly 3-D effect," being "derivative and bland," and being a shoddy final choice after being subjected to the company's "30 days of change" campaign, which showcased a new logo idea every day for the past month.
But there were fans.
Some of those who took to social media called it "clean and elegant," others "skinny and neat."
The revision is the first time that Yahoo has made a significant change to its logo since a few tweaks shortly after co-founders Jerry Yang and David Filo incorporated the company in 1995.
Since Yahoo's logo is so recognizable, it's a good thing they kept the changes relatively sedate, says branding expert Laura Ries, of the Atlanta firm Ries & Ries.
"One of the worst things in the world you can do is have a log around for two decades and then do something totally different. It's quite unsettling for consumers," she said. Keeping the purple and the exclamation point was a good idea, she said.
Mayer's overhaul of Yahoo has attracted a lot of attention, but so far it hasn't provided a significant lift to the company's revenue. Yahoo depends on Internet advertising to make most of its money, an area where the company's growth has been anemic while more marketing dollars flow to rivals such as Google and Facebook.
A new logo is an important part of updating Yahoo, Ries said, but at the end of the day the company has to do a better job of "verbalizing what exactly Yahoo is."

There's only one person on the face of the earth who didn't think Paul McCartney and a sort-of reunited Nirvana completely rocked Wednesday night at the 12-12-12 Sandy benefit with their new song "Cut Me Some Slack."
Of course, Courtney Love is upset. Her husband Kurt Cobain fronted Nirvana before he took his own life and she seems to think she should get a check every time someone even thinks of Nirvana.
Love told TMZ before the show that she was "not amused" about McCartney playing with her husband's old mates Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. She even played the lame "Paul McCartney was only cool because of John Lennon" card.
"Look, if John were alive it would be cool," she said.
Of course it would.
Love said she's also upset at the guys calling the show a Nirvana reunion (I don't think they did) because she says Cobain was the heart and soul of the legendary band.
Apparently, only dead people rock in Courtney Love's world.

My query is as above - I'm using the latest version of PMS. Under "Common Transcode Settings" then "Video Quality Settings", PMS wont save my selection from the drop down box "mpeg2 video quality settings".
I'm select the "best quality" setting and then hit the big save button at the top. When I close PMS and then open it again it has reset to the default preset.
Am I missing something obvious here?

Alexia Dawn Davis (WRDW-TV)
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW) -- A public defender with the Augusta judicial circuit has been charged with felony theft of lost or mislaid property.
Alexia Davis was arrested after Capt. Steve Morris said she failed to take reasonable measures to restore property to the rightful owner under Georgia law.
Jane Prater of Thomson lost a ring in the parking lot of the Cracker Barrel on Park West Drive on Feb. 7. The ring has an estimated value of $11,000, according to the police.
A server at the restaurant told police she was approached by a woman who asked what she should do if she found a ring. The server said she declined to put it in the company's lost in found and said she'd contact the Sheriff's Office.
Police said the woman who spoke with the server was accompanied by Davis, who had it in her possession.
Davis was released from Columbia County Jail on $2,600 bond.
Here is a statement made by the law office of Tanya D. Jeffords and Associates regarding the incident:
"We are issuing this statement in response to calls and information that we have received regarding the Columbia County Sheriff's Office statement about the law on theft of lost or mislaid property and the case involving our client Ms. Alexia Davis. It is my understanding that the Sheriff's Office has indicated that the law requires a person to make reasonable efforts to find the owner of the property, and they arrested Ms. Davis because they feel that she did not make reasonable efforts to find the owner and only turned it in when they posted the information about the lost ring online.
The law states that "a person commits the offense of theft of lost or mislaid property when he comes into control of property that he knows or learns to have been lost or mislaid and appropriates the property to his own use without first taking reasonable measures to restore the property to the owner." O.C.G.A. 16-8-6. Every word in a statute has meaning. The important part of the law that is not being discussed is that one must "appropriate the property to his own use" to commit the crime. Possession of the property is a separate element from the appropriation part, which means that mere possession of the property is not sufficient to constitute a crime when the person restores the property to the owner in its original state. Who wants an average citizen, or for example a young person, to think that if he/she finds something and leaves it in his/her locker or car for a week, and then someone posts an ad looking for the item, the person dare not turn it in to the owner because they then have to fear being arrested. That is why there is an appropriation to one's own use requirement. The taking reasonable measures to restore it to the owner is a defense to the appropriation element, and is not necessary when the owner actually gets their property back as soon as the person becomes aware of his/her identity. No crime has occurred. The law should encourage people to come forward and do the right thing and to not feel afraid. The statute does not define what is reasonable. The statute does not require a person to turn anything into the Sheriff's office, and it does not set a time limit.
The warrant in this case leaves out the critical fact that the ring was restored to the owner and had not been altered, changed, sold or worn. Ms. Davis was offered money for the ring but did not sell it. She wanted to know if it was real only. If she had sold the ring, like some people may have done when given the opportunity, then this would be a crime because she would have appropriated it for her own use. She talked to a Richmond County jailer about finding lost property and was told she should check the newspaper, lost and found ads, and not advertise because she would get all kinds of people calling her. What the jailer said would happen actually occurred. When Columbia County posted that the ring was lost at the Cracker Barrel, she then knew who the owner was and returned it.
Most importantly, when considering the reasonableness of a person's effort to restore lost property to an owner, how much more reasonable can the effort be than that the person promptly turns the property in when he/she learns the identity of the owner? This law should be meant to deter crime and promote honesty, not fear of turning something in as we read the law. This is of course our interpretation of the law, and not that of the officer who took out the warrant and the associate magistrate, who is not a lawyer, who actually issued the warrant. Ms. Davis' impeccable reputation and career are at stake in this case, and her legal team hopes that this statement helps clarify what we believe to be the law regarding finding mislaid or lost property. We are continuing to prepare this case for trial."

- Binding: Paperback & eBook
- Era: 20th Century
- Number of Pages: 352
- Subject: History/Weapons
- Date Available: August 2013
In the mid-1950s a small group of overworked, underpaid scientists and engineers on a remote base in the Mojave Desert developed a weapon no one had asked for but everyone in the weapons industry desired. This is the story of how that unorthodox team, led by visionary Bill McLean, overcame U.S. Navy bureaucracy and other more heavily funded projects to develop the world's best air-to-air missile. Author Ron Westrum examines that special time and place—when the old American work ethic and "can do" spirit were a vital part of U.S. weapons development—to discover how this dedicated team was able to create a simple and inexpensive missile. Today, many decades after its invention, the Sidewinder missile is still considered one of the best that America has to offer.
In a time of billion-dollar weapons development contracts, astronomical cost overruns, and defense acquisitions scandals, this revealing, highly readable tale about one of the most successful weapons in history should be of interest to anyone concerned with national security.
Ron Westrum is Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Eastern Michigan University and Professor II of Society and Risk at the University of Stavanger, Norway. He has published two books and many articles on complex organizations, corporate culture, innovation, and systems safety. He has presented many papers to national and international meetings on aerospace, medical, and nuclear safety. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center to Update Solaris via Live Upgrade
By LeonShaner on Nov 27, 2012
This Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center blog entry provides tips for using Ops Center to update Solaris using Live Upgrade on Solaris 10 and Boot Environments on Solaris 11.
Why use Live Upgrade?
- Live Upgrade (LU) can significantly reduce downtime associated with patching
- Live Upgrade avoids dropping to single-user mode for long periods of time during patching
- Live Upgrade relies on an Alternate Boot Environment (ABE)/(BE), which is patched while in multi-user mode; thereby allowing normal system operations to continue with the active BE, while the alternate BE is being patched
- Activating a newly patched (A)BE is essentially a reboot; therefore the downtime is ~= reboot
- Admins can easily revert to the prior Boot Environment (BE) as a safeguard / fallback.
Why use Ops Center to patch via Live Upgrade, Alternate Boot Environments, and Solaris 11 equivalents?
- All the benefits of Ops Center's extensive patch and package knowledge base can be leveraged on top of Live Upgrade
- Ops Center can orchestrate patching based on Live Upgrade and Solaris 11 features, which all works together to minimize downtime
- Ops Center's advanced inventory and reporting features assure that each OS is updated to a verifiable, consistent standard, rather than relying on ad-hoc (error prone) procedures and scripts
- Ops Center gives admins control over the boot environment specifications or they can let Ops Center decide when a BE is necessary, thereby reducing complexity and lowering the opportunity for user error
Preparing to use Live Upgrade-like features in Solaris 11
Requirements and information you should know:
- Global Zone Root file-systems must be separate from Solaris Container / Zone filesystems
- Solaris 11 has features which are similar in concept to Live Upgrade on Solaris 10, but differ greatly in implementation
Important distinctions:
- Solaris 11 assumes ZFS root
- Solaris 11 adds Boot Environments (BE's) as an integrated feature (see beadm)
- Solaris 11 BE's avoid single-user patching (vs. Solaris 10 w/ ZFS snapshot=ABE).
- Solaris 11 Image Packaging System (IPS) has hooks for BE creation, as needed
- Solaris 11 allows pkgs to be installed + upgraded in alternate BE (e.g. instead of the live system) but it is controlled on a per-pkg basis
- Boot Environments are activated across a reboot; instead of spending long periods installing + upgrading packages in single user mode.
- Fallback to a prior BE is a function of the BE infrastructure (a la beadm).
- (Generally) Reboot + BE activation can be much much faster on Solaris 11
Preparing to use Live Upgrade on Solaris 10
Requirements and information you should know:
- Global Zone Root file-systems must be separate from Solaris Container / Zone filesystems
- Live Upgrade Pre-requisite patches must be applied before the first Live Upgrade Alternate Boot Environments are created (see "Pre-requisite Patches" section, below...)
- Solaris 10 Update 6 or newer on ZFS root is the practical starting point for Live Upgrade
- Live Upgrade with ZFS root is far more straight-forward than any scheme based on Alternative Boot Environments in slices or temporarily breaking mirrors
- Use Solaris best practices to upgrade the OS to at least Solaris 10 Update 4 (outside of Ops Center)
- UFS root can (technically) be used, but it is significantly more involved (e.g. discouraged) -- there are many reasons to move to ZFS while going through the process to update to Solaris 10 Update 6 or newer (out side of Ops Center)
- Recommendation: Start with Solaris 10 Update 6 or newer on ZFS root
- Recommendation: Start with Ops Center 12c or newer
- Ops Center 12c can automatically create your ABE's for you, without the need for custom scripts
- Ops Center 12c Update 2 avoids kernel panic on unpatched Solaris 10 update 9 (and older) -- unrelated to Live Upgrade, but more on the issue, below.
Live Upgrade Pre-requisite Patches (Solaris 10)
Certain Live Upgrade related patches must be present before the first Live Upgrade ABE's are created on Solaris 10.
Use the following MOS Search String to find the "living document" that outlines the required patch minimums, which are necessary before using any Live Upgrade features:
Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements
(Click above – the link is valid as of this writing, but search in MOS for the same "Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements" string if necessary)
It is a very good idea to check the document periodically and adapt to its contents, accordingly.
IMPORTANT: In case it wasn't clear in the above document, some direct patching of the active OS, including a reboot, may be required before Live Upgrade can be successfully used the first time.
HINT: You can use Ops Center to determine what to expect for a given system, and to schedule the "pre-patching" during a maintenance window if necessary.
Preparing to use Ops Center
- Discover + Manage (Install + Configure the Ops Center agent in) each Global Zone
- Recommendation: Begin by using OCDoctor --agent-prereq to determine whether OS meets OC prerequisites (resolve any issues)
- See prior requirements and recommendations w.r.t. starting with Solaris 10 Update 6 or newer on ZFS (or at least Solaris 10 Update 4 on UFS, with caveats)
- WARNING: Systems running unpatched Solaris 10 update 9 (or older) should run the Ops Center 12c Update 2 agent to avoid a potential kernel panic
- The 12c Update 2 agent will check patch minimums and disable certain process accounting features if the kernel is not sufficiently patched to avoid the panic
- SPARC: 142900-05 Obsoleted by: 142900-06 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch 10 Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit)
- X64: 142901-05 Obsoleted by: 142901-06 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch 10 Oracle Solaris on x86 (32-bit)
- SPARC: 142909-17 SunOS 5.10: kernel patch 10 Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit)
- X64: 142910-17 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch 10 Oracle Solaris on x86 (32-bit)
- Ops Center 12c (initial release) and 12c Update 1 agent can also be safely used with a workaround (to be performed BEFORE installing the agent):
# mkdir -p /etc/opt/sun/oc# echo "zstat_exacct_allowed=false" > /etc/opt/sun/oc/zstat.conf# chmod 755 /etc/opt/sun /etc/opt/sun/oc# chmod 644 /etc/opt/sun/oc/zstat.conf# chown -Rh root:sys /etc/opt/sun/oc
NOTE: Remove the above after patching the OS sufficiently, or after upgrading to the 12c Update 2 agent
Using Ops Center to apply Live Upgrade-related Pre-Patches (Solaris 10)
- Create an OS Update Profile containing the minimum LU-related pre-patches, based on the Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements, previously mentioned.
- SIMULATE the deployment of the LU-related pre-patches
- Observe whether any of the LU-related pre-patches will require a reboot
- The job details for each Global Zone will advise whether a reboot step will be required
- ACTUALLY deploy the LU-related pre-patches, according to your change control process (e.g. if no reboot, maybe okay to do now; vs. must do later because of the reboot).
- You can schedule the job to occur later, during a maintenance window
- Check the job status for each node, resolving any issues found
- Once the LU-related pre-patches are applied, you can Ops Center to patch using Live Upgrade on Solaris 10
Using Ops Center to patch Solaris 10 with LU/ABE's -- the GOODS!
(this is the heart of the tip):
- Create an OS Update Profile containing the patches that make up your standard build
- Use Solaris Baselines when possible
- Add other individual patches as needed
- ACTUALLY deploy the OS Update Profile
- Specify the appropriate Live Upgrade options, e.g.
- Synchronize the active BE to the alternate BE before patching
- Do not activate the BE after patching
- Check the job status for each node, resolving any issues found
- Activate the newly patched BE according to your change control process
- Activate = Reboot to the ABE, making the ABE the new active BE
- Ops Center does not separate LU activate from reboot, so expect a reboot!
- Check the job status for each node, resolving any issues found
Examples (w/Screenshots)
Solaris 10 and Live Upgrade: Auto-Create the Alternate Boot Environment (ZFS root only)
ABE to be created on ZFS with name S10_12_07REC (Example)
Uses built in feature to call "lucreate -n S10_12_07REC" behind scenes if not already present
NOTE: Leave "lucreate" params blank (if you do specify options, the will be appended after -n $ABEName)
Solaris 10 and Live Upgrade: Alternate Boot Environment Creation via Operational Profile (script)
The Alternate Boot Environment is to be created via custom, user-supplied script, which does whatever is needed for the system where Live Upgrade will be used.
Operational Profile, which provides the script to create an ABE:
- Very similar to the automatic case, but with a Script (Operational Profile), which is used to create the ABE
- Relies on user-supplied script in the form of an Operational Profile
- Could be used to prepare an ABE based on a UFS root in a slice, or on a separate device (e.g. by breaking a mirror first) – it is up to the script author to do the right thing!
- EXAMPLE: Same result as the ZFS case, but illustrating the Operational Profile (e.g. script) approach to call:
# lucreate -n S10_1207REC
NOTE: OC special variable is $ABEName
Boot Environment Profile, which references the Operational Profile
- Script = Operational Profile on this screen
- Refers to Operational Profile shown in the previous section
- The user-supplied S10_Create_BE Operational Profile will be run
- The Operational Profile must send a non-zero exit code if there is a problem (so that the OS Update job will not proceed)
Solaris 10 OS Update Profile (to provide the actual patch specifications)
Solaris 10 Baseline "Recommended" chosen for "Install"
Solaris 10 OS Update Plan (two-steps in this case)
"Create a Boot Environment" + "Update OS" are chosen.
Using Ops Center to patch Solaris 11 with Boot Environments (as needed)
- Create a Solaris 11 OS Update Profile containing the packages that make up your standard build
- ACTUALLY deploy the Solaris 11 OS Update Profile
- BE will be created if needed (or you can stipulate no BE)
- BE name will be auto-generated (if needed), or you may specify a BE name
- Check the job status for each node, resolving any issues found
- Check if a BE was created; if so, activate the new BE
- Activate = Reboot to the BE, making the new BE the active BE
- Ops Center does not separate BE activate from reboot
- NOTE: Not every Solaris 11 OS Update will require a new BE, so a reboot may not be necessary.
Solaris 11: Auto BE Create (as Needed -- let Ops Center decide)
- BE to be created as needed
- BE to be named automatically
- Reboot (if necessary) deferred to separate step
Solaris 11: OS Profile
Solaris 11 "entire" chosen for a particular SRU
Solaris 11: OS Update Plan (w/BE)
"Create a Boot Environment" + "Update OS" are chosen.
Solaris 10 Live Upgrade, Alternate Boot Environments, and their equivalents on Solaris 11 can be very powerful tools to help minimize the downtime associated with updating your servers. For very old Solaris, there are some important prerequisites to adhere to, but once the initial preparation is complete, Live Upgrade can be used going forward. For Solaris 11, the built-in Boot Environment handling is leveraged directly by the Image Packaging System, and the result is a much more straight forward way to patch, and far fewer prerequisites to satisfy in getting there. Ops Center simplifies using either approach, and helps you improve consistency from system to system, which ultimately helps you improve the overall up-time across all the Solaris systems in your environment.

An alternative method of reducing or temporarily stopping excessive erosion of the natural coast is to provide a "man-made" beach and dune-bluff. Feeding sand to a coast is referred to as "beach nourishment." Beach nourishment works by reducing sand-starved conditions by supplying sand needed for waves and currents to rebuild and maintain the natural protective beach and sand bar system.
The supply of beach nourishment sand can come from many sources. When a coastal structure traps sand on one side, creating erosion problems on the downdrift side, the trapped sand can be dredged and moved (by-passed) around the structure. This mechanical by-passing of sand places the same sand on the downdrift shoreline that would have arrived there naturally if the structure was not present. Sand trapped by a structure can also be moved back updrift (back-passing) to the portion of the coast where it eroded. Sand can also be obtained from inland sources, like quarries, and trucked to the beach.
Beach nourishment sand must be free of contaminants that might be suspended or dissolved in the water as the sand is reworked by the storm waves. Testing for contaminants can be a costly procedure. Criteria for contaminate testing is not standardized and can be inconsistent among agencies responsible for requesting the test procedures.
Erosion and reworking of nourishment sand provides three important beneficial effects. First, beach nourishment sand directly protects the natural dune-bluffs from wave attack by serving as a sacrificial dune and beach buffer zone between the waves and the previously eroding natural coast. Second, beach nourishment reduces erosion on adjacent properties by supplying sand to the regional beach and sand bar system. Both the beach nourishment project site, and the adjacent shoreline benefit from the placement of nourishment sand. Third, beach nourishment creates beaches that can be used for recreation.
With time, beach nourishment sand is completely mobilized as it moves down the shoreline providing protection to downdrift property owners as new beaches and sand bars. When all the beach nourishment sand is carried downdrift, the project site must be "renourished."
Beach nourishment activities are encouraged through state statute. The "Sand Nourishment Fund" in IC 14-25-12 provides a mechanism to protect and increase sand in Indiana along Lake Michigan. Coastal communities can obtain funds through their local state legislators which can then be used for
Under another state statute, IC 14-29-3-2, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is authorized to impose a royalty fee for the removal of dredge materials from the bed of Lake Michigan. As an incentive, the Natural Resources Commission has by rule determined this royalty fee should be waived if the person authorized to dredge agrees to place any suitable dredge materials along the Lake Michigan shoreline as beach nourishment for the beneficial use of the general public.
Recently, the Department of Natural Resources has taken further action to provide incentive for beach nourishment activities. A rule was recently adopted to establish a general authorization (sometimes called a "statewide permit") for beach nourishment from sources landward of Lake Michigan. A person who qualifies for the general authorization may place sand for beach nourishment, either within or outside the ordinary high watermark, without obtaining a navigable waterways fill permit under IC 14-29- 1-8. Instead, a letter is provided to the agency by the person wishing to use the general authorization. In the letter, the person provides information concerning the site of origin, the site of deposit, and other pertinent information, including any testing performed on the sand. Unless the Department of Natural Resources responds within 14 days to require full permitting or to impose conditions on the terms of the deposit, the general authorization is "deemed to have been approved and the person may proceed."
Nourishment sand is regularly provided by the dredging efforts of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). NIPSCO must dredge to keep its water intake at the Bailly Plant from being clogged by sand trapped updrift of the Port of Indiana. Seventy-five percent of the dredged sand is "by-passed" to Ogden Dunes and deposited on the outer sand bar. The other 25% is "back-passed" to Beverly Shores.
Two designed beach nourishment projects have been conducted in Indiana by the federal government. In 1974, 227,00 cubic yards of sand was placed in front of Mount Baldy. The second beach nourishment in 1981 was at the same Mount Baldy location using 80,000 cubic yards of sand. Two beach nourishment activities are currently taking place on the Indiana's shoreline near Mount Baldy. One is associated with the maintenance dredging of the Michigan City Harbor. The other activity will be completed as mitigation for erosion occurring as a result of the federally constructed breakwater at the Michigan City Harbor. The nourishment projects will be completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

SAN JOSE -- A former administrator at Leland High School was sentenced Friday to 16 months in state prison for unlawful sexual contact with a student at the school.
Joseph Reghitto, a former assistant principal at Leland, pleaded guilty last fall to one felony charge and one misdemeanor involving a sexual act with a minor in 2011. His plea came after a second former student testified that Reghitto had sent her inappropriate text messages, according to Carolyn Powell, a deputy district attorney for Santa Clara County.
Reghitto had also sent numerous text messages to the 16-year-old victim in the days leading up to the molestation, Powell said last fall.
The episode and its aftermath had been difficult for the victim and her family, along with others at the school, according to the girl's father, who asked not to be identified to protect his daughter's privacy. But he said he was satisfied with the outcome and praised both Powell and Superior Court Judge Linda Clark for their handling of the case.
"Justice was served," he said.
Reghitto's attorney, Jeff Kroeber, couldn't be reached for comment.

SAN JOSE -- The most encouraging thing about the Sharks right now happens several times a game.
It happens when the puck crosses the blue line into their offensive zone and Brent Burns is on the ice.
Be- cause after that happens, with Burns such a force of mayhem, you never know what might happen next.
Heck, even if Burns is carrying the puck, he doesn't know what will happen next. Neither do his linemates, Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
Wait. That's incorrect. Pavelski has finally gotten a handle on Burns' tendencies.
"Yeah, I can tell where he's going," Pavelski said. "If you look where he should be going, he's going the other way."
Pavelski was joking. Or maybe not.
Burns, the converted defenseman, played a physical game at that position and is still a work in progress at forward. But he is at his best when he creates chaos. Burns might do this with the puck, or without the puck. He might do this while pursuing the puck, or while forechecking an opponent toward Cupertino. He might do this while charging toward the net and awaiting a pass, or while muscling up along the boards.
"I don't like to think out there," he confirmed.
Burns was joking. Or maybe not.
Either way, it's all good. Because it is unpredictable. The Sharks sorely need more of that quality -- especially in the springtime, as the postseason approaches. Predictability has been their doom in the past.
Saturday night against the Washington Capitals, the Sharks continued their push toward the highest possible playoff seed. They lost 3-2 in a shootout, but the more important picture for our beloved Los Tiburones was -- and is -- the overall picture.
What will the Sharks look like when the playoffs start?
Because they need to look unpredictable. They have been too predictable in past Stanley Cup tournaments, even after excellent regular seasons such as this one. They enter the postseason with their forward lines set up well, their defensive pairings tight, a system in place that's been so successful from October through March. The Sharks then come out of the box and win a series or two to build up hopes ... and then an opposing team figures out how to beat them. And does.
Success in hockey, as with any sport, is a balance between the predictable and unpredictable. A team must have structure, a general blueprint of how to play offense and defense. Sharks coach Todd McLellan's structure and system have a better track record than anyone's since his arrival in 2008. But when the flash-point moment (or moments) of the playoffs arrives, there must also be a wild-card component that the other team wasn't counting on having to confront.
That's where the Sharks have fallen short. After one memorably bitter playoff elimination when Jeremy Roenick was still with the team, he was asked for an explanation and answered: "We were stale." Which is a synonym for predictable.
Coming into this season, if you were trying to discern why this Sharks team might be different from last year's Sharks team, there were only a few real possibilities. One was the full-season presence of Raffi Torres (who arrived via trade last April and was effective but missed most of the seven-game series loss to Los Angeles last year because of a suspension). Another was the arrival of Tomas Hertl, a touted rookie.
And the third? That would be whatever Burns might provide in his new forward role.
Well, we all know what happened. Torres suffered a knee injury in the preseason and has dressed for only five games, though he is expected back for the playoffs. Hertl started strong but had a knee mangled in a December collision, hasn't played since and is unlikely for the postseason. Matt Nieto, another rookie, has essentially replaced Hertl and been a pleasant if not as dynamic a surprise.
That leaves Burns. He seemed to be feeling out his role on the line with Thornton and Pavelski during the winter but has settled into a wonderfully loopy groove in the last few weeks. It's been lovely to watch. He has become the Uncle of Unpredictability, the Rajah of Random, the Ayatollah of Arbitrary.
"He just goes," Thornton said the other night of the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Burns. "He's just a beast out there. It just forces you to try to keep up with him because he's going so fast."
For all the chaos, Thornton still has been able to locate Burns and dish up the puck. But in assembling that three-man unit, McLellan made his smartest move in throwing Pavelski out there. As Burns does his whirling dervish act and Thornton looks to sort it out, Pavelski is the stabilizing force who can clean up any mistakes that backfire and find open space when the puck either comes to him or pops up in front of him. Pavelski is having the best scoring season of his career.
Of course, that won't mean anything if it doesn't carry over into April and May.
"At the end of the day, we've got to win," Pavelski said.
As long as Burns is out there being anarchic, the Sharks can do that. He appears committed to that. But can you actually prepare and practice the art of creating a disturbance?
"No," Burns said. "But I do try to screw up things in practice. It's not too hard."
Burns was joking. Or maybe not. Best not to ponder it too deeply. Best just to enjoy the bedlam.

Although snow has been scarce this winter, snow still has been on my mind, and snow brought to mind something I really enjoyed in my younger years — snow ice cream. The fact is, I still enjoy it.
Sometimes March produces some big snows. They don't last long, but long enough for ice cream.
Growing up, ice cream was a real treat. It was something very special.

Watching: The Hidden Epidemic - Heart Disease In America
Chapter 10: The Challenge Ahead [4:38]
The fundamental sources of heart disease are now known, but for most, behavior change is the real solution. Will we?
Transcript: Chapter 10 - The Challenge Ahead
The fundamental sources of heart disease are now known, but for most, behavior change is the real solution. Will we?
NARRATOR: Framingham today is a very different community than it was in 1948. Most of he small businesses are gone, replaced by chain stores along Route-9, the highway that runs outside of town. But the Framingham Heart Study remains, approaching six decades of research. It's the longest running population study of heart disease in the world.
DR. STEVE NISSEN: Framingham was just an extraordinary study. And now is such a core of our knowledge base about heart disease. To find out the relationship between health habits and the incidents of heart disease in a single town of that size in Massachusetts was a brilliant strategy that has yielded so much insight into the disease.
NARRATOR: The study has release landmark finding on smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, and many other health concerns. Still, with all the discoveries that have come from Framingham, one of the most important finding is a very simple reality that many people still don't understand.
DR. STEVE NISSEN: Coronary heart disease is largely preventable. At least 80% of the disease that we see is due to identifiable risk factors—high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes. Those are, in fact, preventable diseases. In the year 1900, coronary heart disease was not even in the top ten causes of death. And so, 100 years of lifestyle and dietary indiscretion have turned this disease into the number one killer. I think we have a real chance if we can get people to adopt healthier lifestyles, to turn back the clock to a point when this disease wasn't nearly as important.
NARRATOR: It turns out that there were reasons for Philip Epstein's mysterious death. His father started having problems with his heart when he was only 38 years old. When he was 41 he was hospitalized for major heart surgery.
ADELE ACK: And on the last day, when he was supposed to come home, he got up in the morning, was shaving, and had a blood clot, and it killed him.
NARRATOR: Philip's uncle was also a victim of heart disease.
ADELE ACK: My brother died when he was 57. He had a heart attack on a golf course on a Fourth of July weekend. Hadn't been sick at all.
NARRATOR: With this family history and a new baby, Ami encouraged Philip to get a physical. It was the day after Arielle was born.
AMI KANN: I called the doctor, and, and I—I got more information about, you know, the results of his physical.
NARRATOR: Philip's cholesterol was over 300. His doctor prescribed medication. Philip had only taken for a couple of days when he died.
ADELE ACK: I feel that it's such a tragedy, because I just—I always think back to Philip not knowing his father, and this baby'll never know her father.
JUSTIN EPSTEIN: My dad was great. That's all I can say. All I can say is my dad was great. No one could—no one could replace him.
AMI KANN: I lost my best friend, so I'm gonna just miss being with him. There's a big gap in my life. My concern is my memories are fading, that I—that I didn't know him long enough.

According to a 2009 study published by the Association for Pet Obesity
Prevention, 34 million dogs and 54 million cats are classified as
overweight. Sadly, these staggering numbers continue to rise. Just like
in humans, obesity is now the biggest health threat to pets in the U.S.
Excess weight lowers metabolism, increases appetite and can worsen other
medical conditions, such as arthritis and respiratory problems.
If your pet needs surgery, extra fat can make it more difficult for a surgeon
to operate and increase the chances of complications with anesthesia. With
nearly half the nation's pet population afflicted with weight issues, chances
are you or someone you know has a pet that is affected. Here are six tips
to help your pet shed unwanted pounds and keep the weight off for good.
1. Increased Awareness
There are two main causes of obesity in pets: too
many calories and too little exercise. Secondary factors can also come into
play, such as genetic factors of a given breed or the sex of the animal.
A quick online search will reveal whether or not your breed is prone to
weight gain. And be aware that neutered, middle-aged and female pets are
more likely to have weight issues. More...
Now is a great time to develop better habits for your canine companion.
Just like in humans, obesity is rampant in America's pet population. When dogs
carry too much weight they place an extra strain on all their organs, and they
can be at an increased risk for diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure and
pancreatitis. Unsurprisingly, excess weight gain can interfere with a pet's
quality of life and actually shorten their life span.
Fortunately, dogs respond very well to simple weight-loss programs. By
increasing your pet's exercise and reducing the amount of calories he or she
eats, you can help reduce your pet's weight and the risk of health problems
associated with obesity.
But how do you determine whether or not your dog is overweight? And, if your
dog is overweight, what can you do about it? In this short video, Dr. Sarah
shows you how to learn if your dog is carrying too much weight, and gives advice
on how to help your dog shed unwanted pounds.

ALAMEDA -- Chances are Andre Carter will get a chance to upgrade the Raiders pass rush Sunday, but he doesn't look at it as if he's a mercenary hired to take out Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan.
Rather, Carter sees his contribution as blending in with the group and generating pressure through interaction with his teammates on the defensive line.
``It's definitely about winning your matchup, but at the same time we have to figure out a way to work together,'' Carter said. ``We're communicating a lot more, we have to make sure we're in synch and just go.
``You need to know where the quarterback is going to be. Is he seven yards deep? Nine yards deep? Is he a pocket passer? Good defensive linemen that know how to pass rush, that's what they study.''
It was Carter's cerebral approach, as well as 76 career sacks, that appealed to a Raiders team looking to bolster a pass rush which has just three sacks in four games. General manager Reggie McKenzie has bypassed other 30-something unrestricted free agents.
With Carter, and the influence he could have both in terms of skill and knowledge, the Raiders were willing to make an exception.
Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said Carter helps in two ways -- having someone to compete with sharpens the group, and his depth of knowledge in terms of pass rush techniques can be relayed to teammates.
Ryan, the NFL's second-ranked passer, threw 52 passes in last week's 24-17 win over Washington and was sacked once. Seven of the 12 sacks against Ryan came the previous week in a 30-28 win over Carolina.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen wouldn't commit to Carter being active but hoped he would be ready to be a rotational player on the defensive front. Carter spent some time going through drills with the first team Friday.
Carter had his first padded practice Wednesday since last season, when he had 11 sacks for the New England Patriots before a torn quadriceps in Week 16 ended his season.
``I felt like a new kid in school,'' Carter said. ``It's all great. I felt like I haven't lost a step.''
Heyward-Bey has earned rave practice reviews and the hope is he'll show no ill effects from the blow from Ryan Mundy which knocked him unconscious.
``That's a tough deal any player's got to go through when you take a big hit like that, but he's taken a couple of hits in practice this week and he's bounced right back,'' offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said. ``I'm feeling confident he'll be fine.''

By Harry Lipsiea The Thompson American Legion baseball team is excited about making back to the State Class B tournament. For many of the players and coach Brady Schwab, the event beginning Wednesday in Langdon will be their second state baseball tournament in two months.
At the end of May, the high school team qualified for state. Now, the group is looking forward to keep a successful 20-3 campaign going as long as possible. Schwab, a native of Devils Lake, pointed out that the Northeast Region champion Thompson features an experienced core of athletes.
"We are a team dominated by older players," Schwab told the Journal Monday afternoon. "Our experience is definitely something we will look to rely on."
While a majority of the squad has several of years of starting experience under their belts, three starters also play on Thompson's Babe Ruth Team who qualified for state. Their tournament begins Friday in New Rockford. If the legion squad stays alive into Friday, the three players will be transported back-in-forth in attempt to play in both tournaments.
"It is kind of a tough situation, because you feel bad that the kids have to travel so much," Schwab stated. "But, it's a good problem to have, because it means you have programs that are doing well."
The team opens up the state tournament Wednesday against Nelson County at 4 p.m. The Owls, the two seed in the Central Region, feature a youthful, solid squad, the coach noted.
"They are a quality opponent," the second-year head coach of Thompson stated. "Nelson County is a really solid defensive baseball team who is well coached. It's going to be a very tough game to open up state."
Schwab has enjoyed his time coaching in Thompson. He is in his second year as the head mentor of the legion while he was in his first year as head coach of the high school team this spring.
The Devils Lake High School graduate also coaches football for the Tommies. Prior to moving to Thompson with his family, Schwab was a teacher and coach in Minnesota for 10 years.
"I've had a good experience here in Thompson," he stated. "I've really enjoyed coaching this group again this summer."
Now, the legion team is looking for a strong performance at state.
"When we are doing the right things and playing fundamental baseball, this group has been very successful. When we don't play with good fundamentals, we tend to struggle," he stated. "It should be pretty wide-open tournament. Pitching and defense are always important, but usually whoever is hitting the ball the best in the tournament is the team that comes out on top."

Diesel spill closes bridge
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 9:44 p.m.
About 300 gallons of diesel fuel spilled Wednesday afternoon from an 18-wheeler truck on a pontoon bridge at La. 1 and Fifth Street in Larose, causing the bridge to be closed.
Officials hoped to have the bridge reopened before Thursday morning, said Chris Boudreaux, Lafourche Parish director of emergency preparedness.
Boudreaux said the truck's saddle tanks were punctured as it crossed the bridge, which has a 5-ton weight limit, and some of the fuel was spilled into Bayou Lafourche.
Triad cleaning service was using absorbent pads to clean up the spill, he added.

But you may not know that you do it. And I wanted to alert you to the fact that you do so that you don't get embarrassed later in life.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Two of the most respected college coaches in history join five outstanding players with a good deal of Major League Baseball experience in the 2013 Class of the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
"This class brings a different flavor to the induction process because it features our first Division III coach, perhaps the greatest Division II player ever and three players from the 1950s, '60s and early '70s, which is a time period that has been a bit underrepresented in past inductions," said Mike Gustafson, executive director of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. "We are excited to welcome them to the Hall of Fame."
This year's class, which will be inducted as a part of the annual celebration of college baseball in Lubbock, Texas, is headlined by former longtime Major Leaguers Sal Bando, a standout third baseman at Arizona State from 1964-1965; Ralph Garr, who batted .418 in a stellar career at Grambling from 1964-1967; Tino Martinez of the University of Tampa, for whom the Division II Player of the Year award is named; and Roy Smalley of USC, a shortstop for the Trojans from 1973-1974.
Garr was selected by the Black Legends and Pioneers Committee, which is designed to honor players and coaches at historically black colleges and universities whose careers began prior to 1975. Garr joins Lou Brock, Danny Goodwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones as previous honorees in this category.
"Ralph Garr made a name for himself as an All-Star Major Leaguer, but for the small-school venue in which he performed, he'd be just as well known for his college baseball career," said Jay Sokol of www.blackcollegenines.com. "It is gratifying for those who know what he accomplished at Grambling to see him recognized with such an elite group of College Baseball Hall of Famers.
In his career, Garr led Grambling to a 103-11 record, highlighted by a 33-1 record and a third-place finish at the 1967 NAIA baseball championship. His .582 batting average as a senior led the nation and set a national record, as did his 11 triples, on the way to first-team NAIA All-
American honors. Going into the 2013 college season, Garr still holds the Division II record for highest batting average in a season.
Bando, the MVP of the 1965 College World Series, led the Sun Devils to back-to-back CWS appearances and the school's first national title in 1965. A two-time All-WAC performer, in 2010 he was named to the College World Series Legends Team.
Martinez was the 1988 National Division II Player of the Year at the University of Tampa. In addition, he was named third-team All-American as a freshman, second-team All-American as a sophomore and first-team All-American as a junior. Martinez still holds Spartan records for career home runs (54), career batting average (.399), career slugging percentage (.736), single-season batting average (.452) and single-season slugging percentage (.957), and was a leading hitter for the 1988 USA Olympic gold medal baseball team.
Smalley was named first-team All-American shortstop in 1973 and twice joined teammate and 2007 inductee Fred Lynn in leading the USC Trojans to a national championship. Twice named first-team All-Pac 8, he was later named shortstop on the College World Series 1970s All-Decade Team.
Also included in the 2013 HOF class are the late Tom Borland of Oklahoma State University, who fashioned a perfect 11-0 record on the way to being named first-team All-American in 1955; the late Don Schaly, who was named Division III Coach of the Century by Collegiate Baseball Magazine for his legendary career at Marietta College from 1964-2003; and John Winkin, who coached at Colby College, the University of Maine and Husson College from 1954-2006 and led his Maine Black Bear teams to six College World Series appearances.
Borland led the Oklahoma State Aggies to their first two College World Series appearances in the school's history in 1954 and 1955. He was named first-team All-American on the strength of his 11-0 record and 2.13 ERA. He capped his stellar 1955 season by being named Most Valuable Player at the CWS. In his two-year career in Stillwater, he posted a 19-2 record.
Schaly was named Division III Coach of the Century by Collegiate Baseball Magazine by virtue of the best winning percentage (.812) of any college coach at any level with more than 500 wins, being National Coach of the Year four times and winning three national championships and more than 1,400 games as coach at Marietta College from 1964-2003.
Winkin won more than 1,000 games in 50-plus years of coaching at Colby College, the University of Maine and Husson College. Best known for his tenure at Maine, he led the Black Bears to 11 NCAA tournament appearances, six College World Series appearances and twice finished third in Omaha.
"I am so happy to welcome a new class of inductees that includes Coach Schaly and Coach Winkin, among the other tremendous inductees," Gustafson said. "They are extremely well-respected among their coaching peers, so this recognition is due."
The 2013 class will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the College Baseball Night of Champions celebration, June 28-29 in Lubbock, Texas.
2013 National College Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Class:
Sal Bando,
Arizona State, 1964-65 (3B)
The MVP of the 1965 College World Series, Bando helped lead Arizona State to Omaha in both of his seasons in Tempe. He anchored an offense that collected 419 RBIs en route to a then-national record 54 wins and a national championship in the '65 season. The Sun Devils stormed through the '65 College World Series behind Bando, who scored the game-winning run against Ohio State in the national championship game after reaching base on a triple. Bando hit .319 during his Sun Devil career, including .364 in 1964, and amassed 130 hits, 99 runs scored and 92 RBIs in two years at ASU. A two-time All-WAC performer, in 2010 he was named to the College World Series Legends Team. Bando was inducted into the ASU Hall of Fame in '75, and his number was retired by the Sun Devils in '96.
Tom Borland,
Oklahoma State, 1954-55 (Pitcher)
Borland was a stalwart pitcher on Oklahoma State's team from 1953 through 1955. The left-hander posted a sparkling 19-2 record during his career, which included a perfect 11-0 mark in 1955.
Borland helped lead the Cowboys to the College World Series in both 1954 and 1955. He posted an 8-2 record with a 2.50 earned run average in 1954 while striking out 100 batters in 104 innings pitched.
Oklahoma State went 18-11 that season and followed that up with a 27-3 record in the 1955 campaign.
Borland was a dominating force for the Cowboys in 1955, with a 2.13 ERA and an impressive 143 strikeouts in 117 2/3 innings.
He was named a first-team All-American according to the American Baseball Coaches' Association, while leading the Cowboys to the College World Series.
At the CWS, Borland capped his collegiate career by being named the Most Valuable Player and was also on the All-Tournament team.
Ralph Garr
, Grambling, 1964-1967
As a freshman in 1964, Garr made only 21 plate appearances for the Tigers. However, in his final three years in school, Ralph Garr was the team's leading hitter each year. His .582 average in 1967 not only led Grambling by a wide margin, but also topped the entire NAIA and NCAA Division II. Going into the 2013 college season, Garr still holds the Division II record for highest batting average in a season. He also set a record with his 11 triples that year
During Ralph Garr's career at Grambling, winning baseball was a foregone conclusion. It's hard to imagine any one college player having taken part in a more successful four-year span than Garr did at Grambling with its 103-11 record between the years of 1964-1967. In 1967, Grambling won 33 of its 34 regular season games and finished third at the annual NAIA baseball championship. For his career, Garr had an impressive batting average of .418.
Ralph Garr culminated a great career at Grambling with his selection as a first team NAIA All-American in 1967 and his selection by the Atlanta Braves in the third round of that year's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft (the 52nd player picked overall).
Tino Martinez
, University of Tampa, 1986-88 (1B)
Martinez spent three years playing for the University of Tampa Spartans. He was the 1988 NCAA Division II National Player of the Year, a three-time All-American (third-team in '86, second-team in '87, first-team in '88), a three-time All-Region Performer, a three-time member of the NCAA South Regional All-Tournament Team, the NCAA South Regional Tournament MVP ('86), an Academic All-American and a fixture in the Spartans record books. Martinez still holds Spartans records for career home runs (54), career batting average (.399), career slugging percentage (.736), single-season batting average (.452) and single-season slugging percentage (.957).
In 1988, Martinez led the 1988 United States baseball team to the gold medal in the Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He was named MVP of the World Amateur Championships in Parma, Italy, hitting .413 with four home runs and 18 RBIs, and was named first baseman on The Sporting News College All-America Team. That year, he also was a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, presented to the country's best amateur player.
Don Schaly,
Marietta College, 1964-2003
Collegiate Baseball named him the Division III Coach of the Century
Record: 1,442-329
Best winning percentage of any college coach at any level (.812) with more than 500 wins
Named National Coach of the Year four times
Coached his teams to three National Championships and seven runner-up finishes
For 40 years, from 1964 to 2003, Don Schaly was the baseball coach at Marietta College in Ohio.
The 1959 graduate of Marietta College played baseball and football for the Pioneers. He returned to his alma mater in 1964 and never left, guiding his teams to three NCAA Division III national championships and seven national runner-up finishes. He won 18 Mideast Regional Championships and 27 Ohio Athletic Conference championships.
The coach won numerous coaching awards during his career. He was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1995. Schaly was named the National Coach of the Year four times (1975, 1981, 1983 and 1986), and in 2000 Collegiate Baseball named him the Division III Coach of the Century. Schaly was also awarded the OAC's Coach of the Year 17 times and the Mideast Regional Coach of the Year 21 times.
Schaly's final record at Marietta is 1,442-329, but Schaly's role in the Marietta College athletics department extended far beyond the duties of head baseball coach. He was an assistant football coach for 17 years and served as an assistant athletic director for more than 20 years. Schaly also played a primary role in the formation of the Marietta College Athletic Hall of Fame, into which he was inducted in 2004.
Schaly was the first person in Marietta College history to have his jersey retired. The college also renamed the main entrance of Ban Johnson Arena the Schaly Lobby, in his honor. In 2006, Pioneer Park was renamed Don Schaly Stadium, in his honor.

Knitter's Review
January 2, 2014
Happy New Year! I hope that this finds you warm, happy, and well, wherever you are.
Here in the Northeast we're hunkering down for yet another snowstorm—perfect conditions for burying our noses in wool. The wool in question has an interesting back-story: four different breeds, a small Pennsylvania mill, dyed by hand, and each named after an area river. Meet Boutique Yarn, a relatively new project from Maryland yarn store The Knitting Boutique.
