SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum acknowledged on Friday that his own disappointment in his performance the past two seasons had a direct impact on his re-signing with the Giants before entering free agency.
"I would like every year to be a good year, and when your last couple years here are a collective (4.76 ERA), I don't think that's the way you want to go out," Lincecum said after officially signing a two-year, $35 million contract, the terms of which he confirmed.
Clearly, Lincecum did not feel he lived up to his last contract, a two-year deal for $40.5 million that he signed in January 2012, and he didn't want to leave San Francisco with that kind of bad vibe.
"That's not the kind of guy I am," he said. "So with that, I looked at the opportunity to do something big in the same uniform."
Lincecum, 29, said throughout the second half of the season that he was looking forward to testing free agency, if only to see what it was all about. But he confessed the unknowns worried him a bit, and the aggressive, handsome pitch by the Giants was something he simply couldn't let go by.
"It wasn't necessarily the size of the deal," he said. "It's just that we got something worked out in a timely fashion, which is the way the Giants wanted to get it done. When they made the push, it kind of made it hard not to respond. The relationship kept pushing a little bit more, and we're sitting here at two years at 35. So I'm really, really happy about it."
When he thought about it, Lincecum noted, the Giants fit pretty much everything he might have looked for in free agency. He confessed he thought about the Seattle Mariners and pitching back home but tabled that possibility for later in his career. Simply put, he wanted to remain a Giant.
"Personally, I feel like I can succeed there again, and as a group, I feel like we have the right tools to make another push," he said. "Those are the kinds of things you look for in an organization, and when I'm already plugged into one, I don't have to look too far to see what they've done and what I can do with them."
Plus, there was the comfort factor and the excitement of living in a cosmopolitan city that fits his personality.
"There are a lot of things here that I've already grown to like, and there are things in other places that I might not necessarily have a connection with," Lincecum said. "I'm not sure I was ready for that."
Giants vice president Bobby Evans maintained that even though Lincecum finished 2013 season 10-14 with a 4.37 ERA, his year was much improved over 2012, particularly in the second half, when he threw his first career no-hitter and also went 5-3 over the final two months with much better control.
"I think it showed Timmy is coming into his own with a little bit different equipment than he's had in the past," Evans said. "He gave us very positive signs of what he's capable of doing."
Lincecum agreed and said that trying to sustain that continuity next season pitching in the same uniform was another factor in getting the deal done swiftly.
"Every year is kind of a springboard to the next, but there's also a reset button," he said. "With everything I've learned in these last couple years, it gives me that confidence to go into this knowing that things are going to be a little easier, I don't have to worry so much, I know what I need to do. That was pointed out in games where I did well, so it's nice to fall back on those as examples to help me get out of this so-called hole that I'm in."
Asked if Lincecum's extreme popularity with Giants fans served as impetus to retain him, team president Larry Baer insisted it wasn't.
"This was targeted as a baseball signing," Baer said. "Hey, Timmy is a very popular guy, but I don't want it to be misinterpreted that this was done because he's popular. It was done because we think he can excel and get us where we need to be in the future."
Evans said he didn't think the size of the contract would impede the Giants from pursuing free agents outside the organization, whether to fill out the rotation or the much-questioned left field spot.
"What we were anticipating in Timmy's deal is not far off from where we ended up," Evans said. "But the answer is yes, we do have the financial flexibility is to look outside the organization to solidify the rotation. Left field ultimately depends on the relative options and how those options will improve what we have and how they play into our club."
Evans said the Giants still are working aggressively to retain left-handed reliever Javier Lopez, who can become a free agent after the World Series.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, May 13, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- North Augusta is back at bat. The $150 million public-private venture that would bring the Augusta GreenJackets, a parking garage and a luxury hotel, among other things, to the North Augusta Riverfront is back on the table.
"The shopping that'll be down there, the restaurants," says Sno-Cap Drive In owner Rachel Franklin, "It's going to help all of us."
In March, the Aiken County Council voted down the tax increment financing plan that would have required half-a-million dollars a year from the county for 30 years.
"What upsets me so much about the county council and the school board is [they're] fighting in our own county," Franklin said. "You're sending your money to [Georgia]."
Now, however, the City of North Augusta is back with a new plan.
"This is not something for North Augusta. This is a great opportunity for North Augusta, and it is a game-changer for North Augusta, and it will be used by North Augusta, but this is bigger than that," said North Augusta Mayor Lark Jones.
Jones says to satisfy the Aiken County Council, property inside the TIF zone will be brought up to 2012 assessment levels. To satisfy the Aiken County School Board, its part of the TIF will only last 15 years, not 30.
He says the lost revenue will be filled with monies from a hospitality tax that should open up after the school board's 15 years are fulfilled. He says the developer will also look to build the stadium at a price slightly lower than the original $25 million estimate.
But will the changes earn North Augusta the votes it needs at both the county and school board?
"I don't know," Jones said, "I'm not one of those that are button-holding individuals and trying to coerce. We're not doing this like Washington."
But down the street at Sno-Cap, Franklin says things are looking good.
"Anybody that loves history or heritage that has any pride in this town at all should be grateful that these people are coming in and putting us where we should have been 100 years ago," she said.
On Saturday, several members of the Aiken County Council were transported by bus to Greenville to watch a baseball game there. The North Augusta City Council hosted County Councilman Willar Hightower, Councilman Chuck Smith and County Council Chairman Ronnie Young. Jones says North Augusta wants to mirror what Greenville has done. He says the owner of the Greenville Drive minor league baseball team told him that the stadium built only years ago has revitalized a section of downtown Greenville.
Jones says on this fact-finding mission that he learned that crime shouldn't be a problem. He says light pollution and noise problems shouldn't be problematic, either.

What is by many considered to be one of the best Wii games ever is back, and this time Mario with friend and ally Yoshi, battle Bowser and his sidekicks throughout a Galaxy more bizarre than ever.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
The Mario franchise has been in the market for a long time now. We have seen different genres where Mario was in but what seems to be common to each is the core gameplay. Each Mario might be unique in itself but you cannot take away the fact that each one also has similarity to the rest, one way or another. What simply vary as time goes by are the graphics and mechanics of the game.
Can you imagine how primitive the other Mario games appear when placed side by side to Galaxy? Super Mario Galaxy raises the bar relatively high enough that its concept alone put other games to shame. When you play the game, you instantly notice how well the game was designed. It somehow even brings both nerds and game fanatics together since it makes use of a lot of physics to bring the game to life.
Each level in the game is worth playing and nothing seems to be considered as an "add-on level" just to make the game longer. There is so much variety in the game that you never get bored playing it, considering the fact that you have to accomplish quite a number of tasks before you can proceed to the next level. The standards might have increased in a sense that you have to collect more stars this time around but it's never a problem when you play the game.
Do you remember the first time you ever got your first Nintendo game? Well, Galaxy gives you that same ol' feel. Because of the countless things you can do with Mario, you begin to be very protective of him and simply keep him to yourself. Well, that definitely doesn't pose much of a problem since the game is very weak in terms of multiplayer. The second player is very limited in the things he could do and even look kind of dumb at times.
The graphics and sound of this game are also topnotch. They even combine so well that it makes the whole gaming experience really unforgettable. It can even be said that the graphics in this game is one of the best in its era and can compete with games ahead of its time. You are immersed in a different world … a world that seems to be very real because of the details in it.
But like everything else, there is no such thing as a perfect game. Every game has a glitch here and there. Super Mario Galaxy might have imperfections but it doesn't hurt the game in any way. These are just minor things and are forgivable. In fact, the defects can be cured by constantly playing the game since the more you play the game the easier it becomes to use the controls.
It is safe to say that Super Mario Galaxy is the best game ever made by Nintendo and one of the best games of its time. When you play this game, expect to be blown away with the whole gaming experience.

I'm training for my first 1/2 marathon in January, and want to get a good running watch. Any suggestions? I'd like one that I can set a timer to, clock distance and is there one that can measure my pace?
I'm a Suunto T3 user. I have the HRM and the foot pod device which gives pace and distance. It does it all, minus GPS coordinates. There is also a program to buy to download the data and track on the computer. Its small on the wrist and can therefore be used for more than just running. Its worked great for me. I calibrated it on a track to make sure my distances were accurate. Its tricky to figure out the buttons at first, but after a little messing with it and reading the directions, its easy to navigate. It takes about a month to totally feel comfortable with it. It also has a feature called training effect, which uses your personalized data and your performance data to calculate the physiological effectiveness of your workout. This is important in figuring out how much recovery time you need to reap the benefits of your workout. Hope this helps. ~Active Toby
Hi Rebecca,
The Garmin Forerunner 305 does it all, HRM, GPS, pace, distance, software to track everything on your computer including downloadable tracks from sites like mapmyrun.com and lots more too. You can get a GF305 for about $200. on ebay. Most other devices in the $100. to $150. range are 3 legged dogs compared to the Garmin Forerunner 305. It is kind of bulky tho, so if style is high on your list look at Polar or Suunto. Hope this helps.
If price is not an issue, I love my Garmin 305. It is a GPS unit so you don't have to calibrate it. It has a heart monitor, tracks your elapsed time, distance to 1/100 mile, current pace in min/mile, displays elevation, calculates calories burned, etc, etc. The price on these have come down, MSRP is $349.99 and Walmart.com has them for $219.88, its cousin the Garmin 205 is $154.88.
You choose the displays you want to see. I have mine set up for 4 displays so at a glance I can see elapsed time, distance, heart rate, and current mile pace at the moment.

Looks like drjenson beat my post on the 305 unit.
I've used a Polor S120 for years. Plain ole HRM w/ stopwatch. MapMyRun figured out distances of my runs (the ones I didn't measure with my bike computer). I'd wear it all the time as a regular watch because I'm a dork. Seemed to work just fine for my training.
Since I wanted more metrics and charts, I upgraded to the Polor RS800sd. Now I have a small footpod that provides speed, distance, cadence and stride length as well as HR and normal watch / stopwatch function etc. I got a big discount so it was the same price as the Garmin Forerunner 305. I can wear it as a normal watch as well and it's pretty sleek - OK I'm a bigger dork now. There is a GPS option but you don't get location, which is a big plus of the Garmin (if you like mapping out your runs). I guess with the Garmin footpod accessory you gets the best of both world (bar a real watch) since you can track speed and distance indoors for your training log. I like the Polar just because of the size and flexbility - just personal preference.
In the end you need to look at what features you want/like as well as price.
You're in luck! Active.com has reviewed a few of these running watches in our Gear section. Check 'em out here:
Polar RS800G3
TrailLeader Wathch
SUUNTO n6HR
Garmin Forerunner 301
I'm new to running, doing intervals and looking for a watch that I can set to beep at different intervals ahead of time, so I don't watch the clock.
Do any of these do that? HRM would be nice, too.
Lower cost the better.
Thanks, E
I've been also using Garmin forrunner 205 for outdoor runs. However, I got myself an Android phone
(Google Phone) couple of months ago and have been using some programs similar to Garmin. Like Sportypal which gave me some really good results. It can track speed,
elevation, distance, map the run, pace etc. It's good to use it because after uploading the track to any internet mapping site I'm able to manage my track and devide it manually in different intervals. So if you have a phone that has a GPS built in it, you can try this it's for free so there is nothing that you can loose.

October 5, 2005
The pain of 350 layoffs at Avondale Mills is being felt throughout Aiken County, and not just among mill workers. Most of the businesses in Graniteville count on Avondale's workers for their livelihood.
Graniteville was built around its Mills. And employees often spend their paychecks on the businesses nearby.
Charlie Akester opened KC's Homemade Ice Cream two months ago. He's building his customer base one sweet treat at a time. About thirty percent of his new customers work at Avondale Mills.
"They order lunch and homemade ice cream to take to their children at night," Akester said.
Less people with a paycheck might mean less soft serve. And that will hurt Charlie's business.
"We're not sure what's gonna happen in the future, but yeah, we're concerned," Akester said.
At the Quick Stop Pantry, mill workers often stop in and cash their paychecks and sometimes they use that money to buy gas and groceries.
"It's definitely gonna effect our business," Ash Shah said.
Quick Stop's owner Ash Shah says less business simply means he'll have to get more creative.
"We'll start promoting and see what more we can do," Shah said.
While businesses are promoting sales, Aiken County continues to promote its work force.
"We work very hard to try and find good paying jobs for all our folks and we'll continue those efforts," said Clay Killian, Aiken County Administrator.
Aiken County's Administrator Clay Killian says because of the county council's efforts, opportunities to keep the laid off workers around are coming. Jobs are on the way at Global Containment Systems in New Ellenton. And jobs should come this winter when construction starts on the billion-dollar Graniteville development off Bettis Academy Road.
"A lot of these folks are probably native to the county, been here all their lives and they're important," Killian said.
Important people almost everyone in Aiken County hopes stick around.

Vinegar White Distilled Organic
Derived from the French vin aigre, "sour wine," vinegar is made by bacterial activity thats converts fermented liquids such as wine, beer or cider into a weak solution of ACETIC ACID (the constituent that makes it sour). Vinegar has been used for centuries for everything from beverages, to an odor-diminisher for strong foods such as cabbage and onions, to a hair rinse and softener. There are a multitude of vinegar varieties available today. a liquid produced from the fermentation of ethanol in a process that yields its key ingredient, acetic acid. The acetic acid concentration ranges typically from 4 to 8 percent by volume for table vinegar (typically 5%) and higher concentrations for pickling (up to 18%) although in some countries the minimum strength may be less. Natural vinegars also contain smaller amounts of tartaric acid, citric acid, and other acids. It has been used since ancient times, and is an important element in Western and European, Asian, and other traditional cuisines of the world. The word "vinegar" derives from the Old French vin aigre, meaning "sour wine." Louis Pasteur showed in 1864 that vinegar results from a natural fermentation process. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it gets to your local supermarket or restaurant must be certified,

Clay can be manipulated, and interpreted, many different ways - and this month four local artists will present their takes on it at Arts Alive Gallery. The "dimensional artistic expressions" by Sue Schmidt, Pam Herring, Dawn Koschak and Janelle Kopp will be on display throughout November, including a public reception Saturday from 4-8 p.m. as part of the 2nd Saturday gallery walk in Breckenridge.
Schmidt makes traditional, functional, wheel-thrown pieces with a colorful and elegant effect.
"I discovered my passion for clay in college," said Schmidt, an 18-year Summit County resident who earned a degree in childhood education with a minor in art. After a long hiatus, she returned to clay five years ago, now that her children are grown.
"The forms that I enjoy most making are the ones that I combine wheel-thrown and hand-built parts," said Schmidt. "I am thus able to alter the form from round to most any other shape that I can imagine. This gives me the most freedom in the expression of the work."
She said working with clay connects her to a deeper part of herself, renewing her sense of purpose. "When I am so totally focused on what I am doing that everything else drops away, I feel completely in the present moment. This is when I feel joy in what I am doing."
A Panama City native who grew up on the beaches and waters of Florida's Gulf Coast, Herring's work is both sculptural and functional, and reflects her connection to the sea and to rock formations.
"I've always loved rocks. Always. I have no idea why," Herring said. "I love the variation in color and textures, differences from rock to rock." She is currently working on pieces that combine rock with clay, where the bases are rock and the tops are clay.
Her "Contemporary Clay Fossils" series shows influences of both rock and sea.
"As a kid, the biggest rocks were at the state park where huge granite boulders were brought in to keep erosion down at the pass from the Gulf of Mexico into St. Andrews Bay. Because our parents fished there, my sister, brother and I played on the rocks for hours during these fishing trips," said Herring, who now studies rocks locally while backpacking and rock climbing.
As for the sea, she said, "reminders of the sea having been at high elevations can be found almost everywhere," especially in the form of fossils. In the Grand Canyon, she said, she saw a fossil of a scallop shell bigger than her hand.
"I have a collection of shells from decades of living in Florida," she said. "To incorporate the fossil ideas into my clay sculptures, I press the shell into clay, which gives an impression with a fossil-like quality. It pleases me and I think my clientele too."
Herring holds degrees in fine arts and interior design from the University of Florida's College of Fine Arts and College of Architecture, respectively.
A former newspaper cartoonist, Kopp discovered her interest in dimensional art in a portrait class with Leanne Wirta at Colorado Mountain College, an interest she continues to develop under the tutelage of Michelle Woods in CMC's ceramics department.
Kopp models realistic figures of humans and animals-portraits that include "gesture and expression and the play of light and shadow" and sometimes tell a specific story.
For example, in "Standing Ground," a bronze bison created from a fired-clay model, "the sentinel figure has positioned its formidable flank between a potential threat and something vulnerable, perhaps a calf or an aging herd member. Its massive head is presented to that threat with the clear message of being alert, watching, ready." The structure of the piece tells more: "The legs are unusually thick and almost indiscernible from the prairie grass - undeniably connected to the earth," Kopp said. "The hide is an impressionistic shield of wind and fur and grit."
For Kopp, these elements develop naturally in the process of building her pieces. "Working the clay is very intuitive for me, with one decision leading inexorably to the next; I see the overall connections when my part of the process is done."
Her part of the process is to create the object, but then the viewer plays a part after that. "An artist can only begin the story," Kopp said. "The final chapters are within the viewers' responses."
Arts Alive Gallery hosts a public reception for "Four Ways with Clay" Saturday as part of the 2nd Saturday gallery walk from 4-8 p.m., wherein 10 galleries on Main Street join the Arts District on Ridge Street to showcase exhibits and artists, usually with light refreshments.

I will start with a description of how the server handles attribute values and how they are modeled. After that, I will explain how to obtain the attribute values in different contexts. Also, the attached file contains some helper functions. I will explain the usage of the code in this file which, in some form, will be eventually part of the plug-in tutorial. A preliminary version of the helper classes I'm attaching is already part of the tutorial, the DataValues.h file.
Attributes can basically be of 2 kinds: continuous and discrete. Discretized attributes are a discrete view over data that originally was continuous. Discrete attributes have a number of distinct states. The actual values for the states are not of importance for the algorithm, these values do not play any part in modeling. They can be considered State1, State2 etc. A distinct state (which is usually 0 now, but is not guaranteed to have this

More than 1,600 runners joined Team World Vision to run the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, making it the largest charity team participating.
Team World Vision brought its biggest-ever group of runners to the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 7.
As the largest charity team in the marathon, Team World Vision was comprised of more than 1,600 runners who were seeking sponsors to help them raise $1.6 million to help provide clean water in African countries like Kenya and South Sudan.
A total of 45,000 runners from all 50 states and 115 countries descended on Chicago for the great race.
Thousands chose to make their Chicago Marathon experience more meaningful by running on behalf of a charity. This year, 10,000 participants ran on behalf of 190 charity partners.
Former Sudan Lost Boy and U.S. Olympian Lopez Lomong was in Chicago to cheer on the Team World Vision runners.
On Saturday evening before the race, Lomong addresssed the team and shared his life story. Kidnapped from his village at age 6, Lomong was prepped to be a child soldier. Eventually, he escaped, and 10 years later, he was brought to the United States by an American couple.
Soon after his arrival in the United States, he discovered his natural talent for running. In 2008, Lomong qualified for the Beijing Olympics in the men's 1,500-meter race. He was voted by his teammates as the flag-bearer in the opening ceremonies.
In August, Lomong competed in his second Summer Games in London — this time in the 5,000-meter, where he finished tenth. "I learned a lot in that race," Lomong said. "I'll be back in four years, smarter and stronger. I'll be back."
Across Africa, a scarcity of water means that children — often young girls — are forced to miss school in order to fetch this basic resource from distant, polluted streams.
And dirty water can be deadly. Some 4,200 children die each day from waterborne illness.
When a community gains access to clean, safe water:
Money raised by Team World Vision will be used to fund clean water interventions such as:
Thank God for the Team World Vision runners who ran on behalf of children and families in need. Pray also for children and families who lack access to clean water.
Support Team World Vision runners. You can donate to a team or an individual.
Make a one-time gift to World Vision's Clean Water Fund. Your donation will help bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene programs to communities in need. These simple interventions can cut child mortality rates by as much as half.

MARIETTA, Ga. – Senior guard Jamar "Deuce" Briscoe had 37 points, including the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to give ninth-ranked Pikeville a 102-100 win over Life University Wednesday night at the Eagle's Nest.
Briscoe, a 6-0 guard from Baltimore, had only seven first-half points, as did fellow senior guard Trevor Setty. The duo finished with 64, including 13 of their team's 16 overtime points to will their team to the win.
Life (1-2), a talented team that got votes in the NAIA Div. I preseason men's basketball poll, led by 14 (35-21) at one point in the first half and held a 45-33 edge at halftime.
But Pikeville (5-0), which shot only 31.4 percent in the first half, came out firing in the second 20 minutes, lifting its shooting to 46.5 percent.
Tied at 86, the Bears had a chance to win the game in regulation but a shot by junior guard Darnell Tubbs fell short.
In overtime, Pikeville went 6-of-13 from the field but 3-of-5 from the arc. Briscoe sank both of his, including the game-winner as the horn expired.
The Bears got the ball with 27.7 seconds left after senior guard Bobby Smith sank both free throws to put his club on top 100-99. Smith led five Runnin' Eagles in double figures with 23 thanks to 11-of-12 shooting from the line.
Pikeville got a shot that failed and a tip that missed before the ball wound up in Briscoe's hands with nine seconds left on the right wing. Both teams seemed out of control, but the calm senior elevated and hit his fifth three-point shot in nine tries on the night to end the game.
Setty, who also had seven in the first half, finished with 27 points. Junior guards Tubbs and Ryan Whitaker each tossed in 11.
Whitaker added nine rebounds, eight coming off the offensive glass, to go with three steals before fouling out in the final minute of play.
Junior forward Brandon Greene, the early leader in blocked shots in the Mid-South Conference, had eight points and 11 rebounds to go with five deflected shots.
Life had five players in double figures. After Smith was senior guard Greg Thomas, seeing his first action of the season, fired in 22 and hit all three of his three-point tries.
Senior forward Andrew Woods had 14, senior center Mike Robertson 13 and senior center Stefan Pope 10.
Life edged the much-smaller Bears 47-45 on the glass, with nobody having more than senior Dennis Harris with seven.
Life lost on a night it shot 52.1 percent overall, 40 percent from the arc and was 20-of-26 (76.9 percent) from the line at home.
Pikeville will be back on the court at the East Kentucky Expo Center on Saturday afternoon against regional rival Alice Lloyd. Tipoff is slated for 4 p.m.

Richard Rogers">
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, November 3, 2010
WAYNESBORO, Ga.---If you want to know what a modern day good Samaritan looks like, look no further. Today we're honoring a young man who took the time to stop and help save a life.
Richard Pylant runs his own landscaping company. On just about any day, you'll find him outside spreading seeds or planting flowers. He spends a lot of time in his truck driving from job to job, and that's what he was doing a few weeks ago when something caught his eye.
"First I saw like a big ball of fire," Richard remembers.
Two 18 wheelers had collided on the interstate, and Richard did something most people don't do anymore. He stopped to help.
"Being on the fire department in Bulloch County, I've been a firefighter since I was 17," Richard explains. "It was just natural instinct to get out and see what happened, I guess. Some people just call it nosy. I call it just trying to help, you know?"
Call it what you like, but the pictures tell the story. The injured driver was trapped. His cab was filled with smoke. And Richard, the volunteer firefighter, knew he had to move fast.
"He was actually entrapped. And the smoke was so heavy, I couldn't breathe," Richard says.
All the while, interstate traffic was still flying by in the next lane.
"When I actually pulled him out, we fell out on the interstate, and at that time cars were still going around us--just going around us."
Not a minute after the rescue, the big rig exploded. There wasn't much left.
Kimberly Washington interrupts Richard's landscaping work with a request. "I do want to hug him again," she says.
It was Kimberly's dad who was trapped in the truck that day. She knows her father would have never made it out alive if Richard hadn't stopped to help.
Her hug is a long and heartfelt one on the grass alongside a bank in Waynesboro.
"Oh thank you, thank you so much," Kimberly tells Richard.
Richard realizes now how close he came to dying that day himself.
"God was just with us that day, and He wasn't ready to see us," Richard says. "I'm just glad I could be part of God's plan for that man in his life."
Kimberly is grateful that Richard took the time to care, the time to stop and save her father's life.
"That just lets you know there are angels. There are true angels. He is an angel. Our angel," she says through her tears.
Kimberly also knows that a simple "thank you" doesn't come close to expressing how her family feels about this humble hero posing as a landscaper.
"Mister Richard, he picked him up and pulled him out with his strength," she says. "My Dad had no strength. My Dad was passed out."
And of course, we want to thank our Time to Care partners who make this award possible: Subway, Troy University and Ashley Furniture. If you want to nominate someone for our Time To Care Award, click here.

Physical Therapist Assistant
Associate of Applied Science in Physical Therapist Assistant
Physical therapist assistants are technically educated healthcare providers who work under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist to restore function when disease or injury results in pain and limited movement abilities. Physical therapy intervention can also prevent further injury. When a patient seeks physical therapy services, the physical therapist performs an initial evaluation and develops a plan of care. The physical therapist assistant carries out the plan of care and reports the patient's response to the supervising physical therapist.
Responsibilities of a physical therapist assistant may include, but are not limited to the following:
The Physical Therapist Assistant program consists of a year of general courses followed by a year of technical course work and clinical experiences.

Melissa Hetherwick, 29, formerly of Biggs, was seriously injured Sunday, February 24, 2013 while traveling on Montgomery Street in Downtown Oroville. Hetherwick, the daughter of Ilona and the late Bob Hetherwick, lives in Oroville with her husband Justin Younger and daughter Leila, and is 23 weeks pregnant. She sustained a shattered arm and wrist which will never have normal use according to doctors, following surgery last Thursday. She is due to have her baby June 29 but will have to have a c-section because her left pelvic bone was broken. She is unable to use crutches and it is unclear if she will be able to transfer to Enloe's Rehabilitation Center because of her pregnancy.
Hetherwick received a broken collarbone and broken ribs and is still on oxygen.
Tests show that the baby is fine after being checked first every six hours and now every 12 hours because of exposure to numerous x-rays and MRI's.
Hetherwick was moved from ICU following the arm surgery last week. Her arm will be in a metal brace with screws through her arm for the next six weeks and will have a cast following the brace.
The two vehicle accident occurred when 18-year-old Shaina L. Appleyard of Oroville, allegedly under the influence of alcohol and drugs, crashed head on into Hetherwick's 2005 Toyota and a park bench occupied by two teenagers who were also hurt in the crash. One of the teenagers, a 15-year-old female was thrown through a plate glass window behind the bench. To read the rest of this story, Please pick up a 3/6/13 edition of The Gridley Herald.

If you follow my blog regularly, then you know all too well about my husband and I being stationed over in England. While we were there, I often craved my favorite foods from the States. And if I couldn't get them in England, I would try to recreate them at home. One of those things was Mexican Pizza. Now we all know Mexico has no such thing as a Mexican Pizza. It's one of those foods that Taco Bell created for the American consumer. Not that anything Taco Bell makes is truly Mexican, but ya know, we like it. Although, I have to ask, have they changed something with the meat recently? It's been tasting a bit funky. Not sure what's going on there. Anyhoo, while in England, I set about creating my own version. And this is it! I still make it today and I gotta say, I love it because I can make it as big or as small as I want it. Personal serving sizes...or enough for a crowd.
Your favorite flour tortilla shells will work fine.
On a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Place your tortillas on sheet in a single layer.
Bake for a few minutes on one side. Flip them over and bake for a few minutes on the other side. You want them golden brown. Oven times vary but it took about 4-5 minutes per side for mine. (Don't turn your oven off yet).
(no need to heat up the enchilada sauce, it will get warmed up when you put your mexican pizzas back in the oven.)Now the fun begins! Begin stacking everything. On one baked tortilla, slather a layer of refried beans. Then place a layer of seasoned ground beef.

Colorful Vault Problem
A REQUEST for a 90-year-old West Clare man to repaint his family vault has been condemned as a case of "bureaucracy gone mad."
Clare County Council has given PJ Curtin three weeks to repaint his family vault in a nearby burial ground or else pay for any costs incurred by the council in doing so. However, Curtin hasn't any intention of repainting the vault, which is currently bright yellow, the same color as his cottage, as he believes he hasn't done anything wrong.
In a recent letter to Curtin, the council stated it had come to its attention that he was responsible for the painting of a family vault in Clohanes burial ground.
"Please note that this burial ground is a recorded monument and as such any works must be in keeping with surrounding vaults and burial plots," the letter said.
"As such, you are requested to return the family vault to its natural stone within 21 days from the date of this letter. If you fail to do so, the council will arrange to have the work completed and you will be responsible for any costs incurred."
Curtin's late father Peter and his aunt Mary Ann are buried in one of the seven vaults in Clohanes. He painted the vault yellow about three years ago and repainted it the same color about 18 months ago. The rest of the vaults are grey or whitewashed.
Curtin said he was surprised to get the letter and can't understand what issue the council has with his choice of color. He insists he hasn't any intention of changing the color at this stage. He was hospitalized in Ennistymon Hospital for almost three weeks recently after a fall and didn't get the letter until last week.
His nephew David Curtin claimed the council has no legal basis for sending the letter because the national guidelines for the care and conservation of graveyards make no reference to painting a vault or headstone any particular color.
Curtin pointed out the only reference to the document, which the council referred him to when he contacted them, was a requirement not to apply paint to gravestone inscriptions, which wasn't done in this case.
He said it was very distressing for an elderly person to get a letter like this after coming out of hospital, and feels the council could have sent someone around to try and explain the situation if it was entitled to do so.
"This is a case of bureaucracy gone mad. PJ had no idea the council would have an issue with this color. Once he is finished painting his cottage, he uses any leftover paint to paint the family vault," Curtin explained.
A council spokesman said it would have a response in the coming days.

Prison Awaits
MAGILLIGAN Prison is being prepared as one of a number of institutions to provide extra holding cells in anticipation of mass protests at this summer's G8 summit.
The contingency measures are being put in place by the Prison Service and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) as the security operation ahead of June's meeting of the world's most powerful political leaders in Co. Fermanagh starts to ramp up. The PSNI is also expanding custody provision at a number of stations across the country.
It is understood commanders are also assessing the potential of using other sites to detain unruly demonstrators, among them the former Lisanelly British Army base in Omagh.
Aware that numerous arrests may well result in many charged suspects coming before the courts, the Northern Ireland Prison Service has taken complementary steps to increase its capacity to hold remand prisoners.
Work is underway to make available extra cell capacity inside Maghaberry high security prison in Co. Antrim, as well as at Magilligan Prison in Co. Londonderry and Hydebank Wood Young Offenders' Center and women's prison in Belfast.

Homeless Elderly
"I WOULD rather die than leave here." Those are the heartbreaking words of 100-year-old Biddy Kauffman following the news that her home, Cloughreagh House in Bessbrook, is set to close and that she, despite her age, will have to find a new place to live.
It was announced last month that the Millvale Road facility was one of five homes in the Southern Trust area to close following Health Minister Edwin Poots' decision to reduce statutory residential care as part of the controversial Transforming Your Care reform program.
Residents have been left shocked by the news and will now have to start making plans to find a new place to live -- but not without a fight as some elderly residents have threatened to chain themselves to their beds before being forced out.
Biddy is the home's eldest resident. She feels elderly people are no longer wanted or cared for.
"I'm 100. Where am I going to go? I'd rather die than have to leave here," she said.
"It's an awful let-down for older people that live here. They thought they were staying here for the rest of their lives; security, a roof over their head and knowing that someone is here for you at all times if needed, and that's all we want out of life.

We in Mount Vernon have been fortunate to have some city funding available to create a new disc golf course. The major obsatcle at this point is placement and design of the course. Although I have numerous interests, I'm an absolute beginner to disc golf and I'm the one in charge of getting a small course up and running. A few people have given their opinions about this or that, but other than my own personal research, I have limited direction. Its really exciting that our Ciy Council has backed a new disc golf course, but there are limits to my workable budget. Any ideas, suggestions on where I should go from here?
p.s I actually am ordering the goals in the next few days.

5|25: Celebrating Five Years of Autism Science Day 20: Later Language Acquisition in Nonverbal Individuals with Autism
In honor of the anniversary of Autism Speaks' founding on Feb 25, for the next 25 days we will be sharing stories about the many significant scientific advances that have occurred during our first five years together. Our 20th item, Later Language Acquisition in Nonverbal Individuals with Autism, is from Autism Speaks' Top 10 Autism Research Events of 2009.
A common belief of many parents and clinicians is that, if a child with ASD has not developed communicative speech by 5 years of age, the prognosis for future development of speech is extremely poor. In 2009 scientists challenged this belief by conducting a comprehensive review of the research literature to search for reports of individuals who were reported to have acquired speech at age 5 or older. Remarkably, one-hundred sixty-seven such cases were identified, changing the way in which we view language development in individuals with ASD.Early theories of brain development held that the period before age 5 represents a unique time in development during which language acquisition is possible, a critical period for language. Yet, recent longitudinal neuroimaging research has shown that the brain has a prolonged development, with major changes occurring during adolescence, and we now know that the capacity for neural generation extends even into adulthood. While the field of neuroscience has revised its notions of neuroplasticity and development accordingly, the field of ASD has held onto the notion of an early critical period for language acquisition. This paper published in the Journal of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology, however, provides a very different perspective.
The authors identified in the published literature 167 individuals with ASD who used speech for the first time after age 5. Many of these children had been offered language intervention based on either traditional or naturalistic applied behavior analysis during the elementary school years, with the intensity of intervention ranging from 30 minutes/week to 30 hour/week. Others had been taught sign language or provided with Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) training, computer-based training, or speech-language therapy. Children who developed phrase speech were found to have been in treatment longer than those who only achieved single word speech. In virtually all cases, significant time and effort put into treatment was necessary for speech to develop. According to their records, many of these children learned to "use phrases," "answer simple questions," "make spontaneous requests," use "complete sentences," and "speak in spontaneous, complex sentences."
Although the age at which speech developed was variable (ranging from 6-12 years), once the child began speaking, subsequent improvement was often quite rapid. This suggests that achieving initial sound production and words can provide an important springboard for the development of subsequent speech. This important paper offers hope for the many children who have not yet developed speech by age 5, dispelling the belief that older individuals with ASD cannot respond well to speech interventions and providing a much more positive prognosis for individuals with ASD.
Did you know?: Autism Speaks' High Risk High Impact Initiative chose "non-verbal" autism as one of its high priority research areas and has funded several grants in the area, including a novel treatment intervention to develop communication skills in non-verbal children over the age of five (to read more, please click here). Autism Speaks also partnered with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to assemble a group of experts focusing on language, development, and autism to evaluate the efficacy of treatment interventions that target acquisition of spoken language. This resulted in a consensus set of recommended measures published in the Journal of Speech-Language-Hearing Research. These measures define benchmarks for determining a child's language level and will be used to establish a framework for comparing outcomes across intervention studies.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team embarks on its final road trip of the regular season this weekend, as it will take on Sam Houston State and Houston Baptist. The Islanders face SHSU in Huntsville on Friday at 7 p.m. before facing HBU on Sunday at 1.
These are the final two games of a four-game road trip for A&M-Corpus Christi. With only four games remaining, the Islanders are nine points out of sixth place. The top six teams in the standings advance to the 2013 Southland Conference Championship.
The Bearkats are one of the teams the Islanders are trying to catch for that final playoff spot, so Friday night's affair will be a crucial one. SHSU is 6-8-1 overall with a 4-4-0 mark in league play so far this season. The Bearkats have wins over Lamar, Incarnate Word, McNeese State and Central Arkansas to their credit this conference season. They are coming off a dramatic weekend that included a 1-0 win over UCA and a heartbreaking overtime defeat at the hands of Oral Roberts.
Mariah Titus leads the squad with six goals and 13 points on the season, while Shannon Shields (4 goals), Jacey Hamilton (3) and Tricia Mallory (3) all have found the back of the net multiple times this season. The Bearkats have surrendered just 20 goals this season in 15 games, thanks in part to strong keeping by Kylie Hambleton (1.35 goals-against average, .822 save percentage).
HBU sits just ahead of the Islanders in the standings with a 3-5-0 mark in conference action and a 4-10-1 record overall. The Huskies have garnered wins over Lamar (1-0), McNeese State (3-0) and Incarnate Word (2-1). HBU has rebounded well after starting 1-7-1 this season.
The Huskies have struggled to find the back of the net this year, scoring a total of 10 goals in 15 contests. Rebekah Tovar and Molly Missimer have each found the back of the net three times this season to lead the squad. The defense has been a strong point for HBU, surrendering just 1.10 goals per game on the year. Patty Walrath has been a stalwart, posting a 1.13 goals-against average to go along with an .840 save percentage, with most of her action coming in conference play.
The Islanders are coming off a tough loss last weekend, as they were edged by Abilene Christian, 2-1, last Friday. Kallyn Redona scored her first career goal in the defeat. It marked the sixth time this year that A&M-Corpus Christi has fallen by a score of 2-1.
Yvette Franco continues to lead the Islanders' offense with her eight goals and three assists, while Alyssa Miller has contributed three goals of her own. Meghan Cordero has also chipped in a goal and three assists on the year. In net, senior Audrey Baldwin has been nothing short of sensational, turning aside 107 shots, the ninth-best total in the nation.

The political architect of two presidential-election victories by George W. Bush is� TELLING his fellow Republicans that they shouldn't get too giddy about their prospects in this year's midterm congressional elections:
One day after Republicans captured a win in Florida's 13th district special election, GOP strategist Karl Rove warned his party to not get too excited.
In a Wednesday op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, Rove stressed that Republican David Jolly's victory over Democrat Alex Sink was about more than just Obamacare. He credited Jolly for "expanding the debate" to multiple factors, namely Sink's record as a banking executive.

- Tesla's stock dips after negative review of its Model S sedan
LOS ANGELES -- Tesla Motors's (TSLA) top brass, including Chief Executive Elon Musk, this week are considering a strategy to recoup market value and boost demand after a critical review of the automaker's Model S sedan in New York Times this month.
Musk says that Tesla has lost about $100 million in sales and canceled orders due to the Times story, which said the sedan ran out of battery power sooner than promised during a chilly winter test drive from Washington D.C. to Boston.
"We have seen a few hundred cancellations that are due to the NYT piece and slightly lowered demand in the U.S. Northeast region," Musk told Reuters in an email.
To lose $100 million in car sales, assuming a $100,000 price per vehicle, Tesla would have to sell 1,000 fewer cars than expected.
Since the Times' Feb. 8 story, by reporter John Broder, Tesla shares have fallen 13 percent, while the S&P 500 index has slid 1.4 percent. Between $100 million and $200 million of Tesla's drop in market value was due to the Times article, Musk said.
"The Tesla team and I are brainstorming this week how to correct the misperception that they have created in the market about how well our car performs in cold weather," he wrote. "That too, will take money and time."
The Model S is the company's second electric vehicle, after the two-passenger Roadster sports car. The Model S, which went into production last June, starts at nearly $60,000 before a federal tax credit, with stickers ranging to more than $105,000.
Its success is crucial for Tesla, which is looking to turn an adjusted profit in the first quarter - the company's first since going public in 2010.
Musk lambasted the Times' review of the Model S, calling the test a "fake" on Twitter and producing data logs from that vehicle to disprove the article.
Broder in a Times story dated Feb. 12 denied that he had faked anything.
Times Public Editor Margaret Sullivan said Broder took "casual and imprecise notes" of his test drive and did not exercise good judgment, but noted that vehicle data logs reproduced by Musk on Tesla's website were "sometimes quite misleading."
Sullivan concluded that "there is still plenty to argue about and few conclusions that are unassailable."
