EDWARDS - It's good to win, and sometimes, it's still good when you don't.
Vail Mountain School volleyball swept cross-county rival Vail Christian in a match that left both coaches smiling.
Vail Mountain won, 25-16, 25-22, 25-22.
It's good to both give and receive, or so it would seem. The Saints opened leads of two or three points, and a combination of unforced errors and aggressive VMS net play made those leads only slightly less temporary than a Mitt Romney opinion poll lead.
"It was a night that we knew we have to play consistently to win," VMS coach Mike Garvey said.
All 10 Gore Rangers saw action, and they needed them all, he said.
"We win as a team, and we lose as a team," Garvey said.
Vail Christian coach Cathy Alexander was upbeat and praised her team's progress.
"We were fighting hard, and we knew we needed to," Alexander said. "We need to break through and win a match against a tough opponent, and that will give us the confidence to keep winning."
Still, Alexander was smiling when she emerged from the Saints' locker room.
"It's the best match we've played all year. We're improving every time we take the floor, and that sort of consistency is important as the season continues," Alexander said.
After VMS won that first game, 25-16, the second and third saw the two sides swapping leads as grudgingly as political candidates swap donor lists.
Vail Christian's Gracen McGuckin drilled a kill and Kristen Currey added another to put Vail Christian on top for the first time in the match, 9-8. Kierra Kalakawich dinked one into a gap for an 11-9 Saints lead.
VMS clawed to a 20-18 lead, and it looked like they'd cruise to the win. But the Saints' Currey hammered home a kill and then another to keep the Saints alive, 24-21.
A pair of unforced Vail Christian errors closed out the second game, 25-22.
Vail Christian jumped out to a 3-1 lead early in the third set, VMS evened it at 4-4, and so it went through most of the third game.
A rally that featured more spirited dialogue than a Hemingway novel ended when Monika Gehl blocked a kill to pull VMS to within one at 13-12. Gehl followed it with a service ace to even the third game at 13-13.
VMS sophomore Katherine Bolyard evened it at 14-14, McGuckin's kill down the sideline made it 15-14, Vail Christian added three, and VMS countered with three of its own and then two more for a 21-19 lead. The Gore Rangers' Ellen Edgerton's service ace ended it, 25-22, for the VMS sweep.
Taylor Alexander had two service aces and two kills for the Saints, McGuckin had six kills, Currey had six kills, Paris Baker had five, and Kalakawich had four.

Teen leads police on chase Wednesday
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 4:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 10:44 a.m.
A Houma teen led police on a high-speed pursuit Wednesday morning through parts of Terrebonne Parish, according to State Police spokesman Evan Harrell.
State Police stopped a speeding truck traveling north on La. 24 near Prospect Street. After stopping, the truck took off on a chase on La. 24 to U.S. 90.
Harrell said at times the truck was traveling faster than 100 mph and occasionally crossed into the wrong lane.
The vehicle exited U.S. 90 at La. 316 before reaching Houma and La. 3040 where a spike-strip ended the pursuit, Harrell said.
The driver was a 16-year-old from Houma who told police he fled because he was scared. Nobody was hurt, and no property was damaged, Harrell said.
The driver was charged with speeding, reckless operation and resisting an officer by flight, Harrell said.

Off-site programs in Emporia and Martinsville bring LU to students
March 21, 2012
Students at Southside Virginia Community College's (SVCC) Southside Virginia Education Center in Emporia and the New College Institute in Martinsville may be more than 150 miles apart in southern Virginia, but they have one big thing in common. They are Longwood University students.
Through a partnership with these locations, students can earn their bachelor's degrees in liberal studies elementary education from LU without ever leaving town.
Offered through the College of Graduate and Professional Studies, the program is an example of the university's blended learning initiatives, which bring the quality of a LU education to off-site locations. Students utilize various technology resources to connect with each other, the faculty teaching their courses and the LU campus in Farmville.
The program offers a combination of in-person, online and virtual courses. Currently, there are 19 students enrolled at both locations, with plans to expand the program in the future.
For Sarah Poarch, a student in the SVCC-based site, the format works perfectly. Having classmates in various locations is beneficial because students are able to share different perspectives and ideas based on their area's unique school systems.
"I'm able to connect with faculty in person, through email, phone, Blackboard and even Skype," Poarch said. "We also use a poly-com system with other classes so we're able to see everyone and talk with our teachers and classmates as if we were all together."
After earning an associate's degree at SVCC, Poarch knew she wanted to continue on to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in elementary education.
"As my graduation day approached, I learned about the new Longwood University program at SVCC, and I felt like everything had fallen into place," she said. "Attending Longwood had always been a dream of mine, and here it was, right in Emporia."

Spare Mag UHC Sig Sauer P228
$ 6.99
Spare Mag UHC Sig Sauer P228 - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Always A Must HaveWhenever you buy a new gun, it's always a great idea to buy at least one spare magazine. This magazine is quite durable, just still take good care of it as with any other magazines you have, which means... NO DROPPY THE MAGGY AND NO JAMMY THE MAGGY! Pretty simple.
Thank you for reading.
- good magsThese mags are really good, and very easy to load. The defender on the team I play on uses the clear 228 for his backup and carries an extra mag. They are very easy to load, and the best for pistols-only matches. Low price, too. If you get a 228, get some spare mags to help out.
- Good thing to have Anyone who buys the 228 should get this spare mag. The P228 was the first pistol I ever bought. without a spare mag, I would not survive during an airsoft match. It has saved me soooo many times from people trying to get me out. I say it works best with cybergun .20g bb's. It is way more accurate!. If your going to get the P228, get the spare mag.
- Madd good clip...I think this clip is madd good its nice and light and the capacity is madd good if you have the P228 get an extra clip.
- a must haveif u have a Sig Sauer P228, u NEED these. u cant survive a match with just one mag, they're cheap, they hold alot, and are VERY sturdy, i drop mine all the time. it can take awhile to load, so i suggest the UTG speedloader, it works great. overall, it doesnt hurt to have a good mag for backup, so i say buy it.
Peace Out
- there allright.these are good work well witht he gun there light durable fast to load and they take no more than 3 secs to load if you mhave tjhe speed loader. i reccomend buying alot because you cant waste precius time reloading even if it does only take a few seconds.
have fun!
- Pretty good magI bought this gun and spare mags from a friend who wasn't very easy on it. The mag works fine but it will split into two if you try to jam to many bbs in it, and there is no way to fix it. Also it gets hard to load after you have filled it half way up. I recommend buying extra mags.
- you will need this mag the original mag that the sig came with is a piece of crap. I can hardly type right now because of the stupid mag. I was shooting my gun at my target to keep my aim good when i shot and it dryfired. I checked the magazine and it had a shot in it. I shot it again and it dryfired. I accidently shot it again when my brother pushed me. I hit my hand with the gun about an inch from my finger. Owwww!!! It hurt. Not just a little. A lot. The old mag is a piece of crap. This mag is the best. It loads every shot !in sequence! unlike the old piece of crap.
If you have a sig buy this mag
- Trade The BottomsThere is noting wrong with the magazine, but the bottom that had the heel kept falling off of it, so switched the heels of the original magazine and the spare and the heels stayed on the magazine better than ever
- i wish it came in silverOkay great for war you need it to be able to last most of game or you run out of ammo in about 2 minutes if you are play a springer war around a house, not a field then no ammo willl help you. The regular clip is silver with the sig sauer p228 sliver pistol but this one is black.

I love Bottle Rocket, I really have trouble rating each one over the next, I went to school with a kid who was like a huge wes anderson fan, they shot rushmore at his high school in houston, and he's working for someone who was in some of the movies, and his family also knows Wes Anderson's family...so he's a huge fan and it just kind of rubbed off on me this last year.
If you haven't seen Bottle Rocket, you should go find a way to see it--I really think it's amazing especially for a first film, it's very very polished.
But to be totally topical, Royal Tennebaums is amazing and a lot of fun to watch...great film one of last years best. How Gene Hackman didn't get an academy nod for this was astounding.(well not really knowing how they do those things, but still--astounding)

Bottle Rocket and Rushmore were great. I found Royal Tennenbaums to be a star-studded letdown.

Kyle Chandler Gossip
Kyle Chandler gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Friday Night Lights, the musical
Splash News
It's Thanksgiving in the United States. And I haven't bitched at you in a while about Friday Night Lights. So I guess this is perfect timing. WHY HAVEN'T YOU WATCHED FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS? You can binge this weekend. And then you can email me, grovelling about why it took you so long. Full Story
Coach Taylor takes us to the weekend
Efren Landaos/ PressLine/ Splash News
It's a long weekend in Canada (but I'll be posting on Monday). Before you go… And you might be going to the movies this weekend, long or not, in Canada or not, so here's a message from Coach Taylor. Oh my God, I missed him SO much. I think I might have to marathon FNL this weekend just because of this. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Julia with a fringe, Michael & CZJ, and Coach Taylor
FameFlynet, Splash, Grant Lamos IV/ Getty Images
Check out Julia Roberts on the set of The Secret In Their Eyes yesterday in Pasadena with her husband, Danny Moder, and a fringe. It's been over a year since we've seen Julia at the movies. August: Osage County was the last time. And by the time this film comes out, it could be another year. Full Story
Coach Taylor's award season
Cindy Ord/ Getty
We miss him...but... I'm not sure if he really misses us. Because he's busy. He's working a lot. And he's working very, very well. Here's Kyle Chandler at the premiere of Zero Dark Thirty in New York last night with Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain and Jason Clarke. Full Story
The incorruptible Coach Taylor
Leonardo DiCaprio continued to shoot The Wolf Of Wall Street yesterday in New York, this time on a yacht holding lobster claws surrounded by bikini girls and exchanging words with Kyle Chandler. Judging by Coach Taylor's working class suit, I'm guessing he's a cop, the adversary to Leo's excessive 80s trader-pimp. Full Story
Worst Goodbye – Coach Taylor
Alberto E. Rodriguez/John Shearer/Getty
I watched Moneyball on the weekend. I mean, it was fine. It was good. Brad Pitt is good. He's just doing a Coach Taylor impression, though. I don't want to say a Kyle Chandler impression, because I know Chandler can be other people than just Coach. But of course that's been the role he inhabited for us for so long, so completely. Full Story
Best of 2011: Coach wins... and forgets
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
I considered calling it "Best & Worst" but I'm not sure "worst" is the right word. And besides, to see Connie Britton's face when Kyle Chandler forgot to thank you - it was the kind of eyeroll reserved for a family member, the kind of eyeroll Tami Taylor gave Eric. A lot. Like, OF COURSE he'd forget me. Full Story
Worst Stomach Clench – Connie Britton
Written by Duana Warning: I get emotional in here. If it's not for you, no prob. Oh, you guys. Unbelievable. What a roller coaster ride if you're a Britton fan. Of course we all had no hope that they could sweep the four categories they were nominated in. Full Story
Best Emmy Fumble: Coach wins!
First it was Jason Katims for Writing... which... It's about F-CKING TIME!!!! What? You don't understand? Because you don't watch??? Well... I don't know what else I can say. It's been declared one of the best shows, if not THE best show, of ALL TIME. And Eric and Tami Taylor the most real marriage on television, like, EVER. Full Story
Bye Y'all
That's how Tami Taylor would say it, right? If you don't love Friday Night Lights, don't bother reading this article, UNLESS of course you want to meet the most authentic marriage in the history of television which, I know, sounds like an oxymoron but this is what they were able to achieve on FNL. Full Story
Coach and Super 8
It really bites my ass that I could only find very few photos of Kyle Chandler arriving at Letterman yesterday. Don't they know this is our coach? Apparently the paps didn't care. Maybe they'll change their minds this weekend. This weekend is all about Super 8. They're trying to make Super 8, brought to you by J. Full Story

very likely . There must be binaries of 2.4 out there you can grab, and I don't think you can cross-compile from linux but apparently gcc without xcode is possible. To build it yourself use the source code from here and follow the instructions in the readme. Don't forget to install:

The search is officially on for a new cold weather homeless shelter in northern Santa Clara County.
In a 5-0 vote Tuesday, the Board of Supervisors charged County Executive Jeff Smith with identifying a replacement facility for the Sunnyvale Armory in Palo Alto, Mountain View or Sunnyvale, as well as possible funding options. The proposal was the brainchild of supervisors Joe Simitian and Dave Cortese.
"We are now without a facility to serve the 135 folks who put their heads down there every night during the four cold-weather months of the year," Simitian said about the armory, which permanently closed its doors March 31.
Located at 620 E Maude Ave., the armory has traditionally provided beds, meals and other services from the first Monday after Thanksgiving to the last day of March. It is being torn down and replaced with two affordable housing projects; 47 units will be set aside for homeless households.
Simitian lauded the county's new "housing first" approach to end homelessness, but said shelters will continue to play a critical role.
"It is, I think, first and foremost, our obligation to find a replacement facility, because it's the right thing to do for folks who desperately need our help," he said. "It's also a quality of life issue."
Board President Mike Wasserman agreed.
"Cold weather shelter services are part of what I like to refer to as the multi-faceted approach to addressing and ultimately ending, or certainly minimizing, the homeless situation that we have in our county," he said.
HomeFirst Chief Executive Officer Jenny Niklaus also threw her support behind the proposal. Formerly known as EHC LifeBuilders, the organization works to get people into homes and keep them there.
"Our homeless population is growing and available housing is stretched beyond what is needed," she said. "Even for those folks that we get into case management and succeed in securing a housing subsidy, they cannot find a place to live. Therefore, it does not make sense to not have more solutions to address the needs of those who are homeless during the cold weather."
Niklaus said the armory has served as an "entry point" for homeless people to get off the street. A new shelter, if one is found and funded, could be further integrated with the housing first approach.
"We have an opportunity here," she said.
The county has the nation's fifth-highest homeless population and the fourth-highest chronically homeless population, according to HomeFirst. As many as 7,600 people are homeless on any given night.
Michael Fletcher said the armory provided the link he needed to get off the street and land a job as a painter. He warned the board that there would be consequences if the facility is not replaced.
"When these people don't have a place to go on a regular basis, it creates a problem in the neighborhood," he said. "You've got people drinking and going to the bathroom and stuff like that at peoples' businesses and front yards."
Cortese acknowledged that the proposal only calls for Smith to identify a replacement facility and potential funding. However, he indicated that he expects a new shelter to be in place by the fall.
"If we don't do something once we name a problem like this, some sort of call for action, we're going to be moving backward," he said.
The county has funded the operation of the armory to the tune of $200,000 annually. But unless another rent-free location can be found, more money will likely be needed for a new shelter. Simitian said in an interview last week that he expected other cities to help foot the bill.
Addressing criticism that the proposal was little more than a band-aid, Simitian said the county's homeless population appears to be much worse than when he last sat on the board 15 years ago.
"You know what, if people are bleeding, they need a band-aid," the supervisor said. "And that's kind of where we are. Until and unless we get this thing really solved -- I don't see that for years and years, if not decades and decades -- we're going to need this kind of service."

Phil Everly, of Rock Duo the Everly Brothers, Dies at 74
Phil Everly, who was one half of the pioneering rock duo the Everly Brothers, has died. He was 74 years old.
According to the Associated Press, Everly, who was born in 1939, died Friday of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Phil Everly, along with his older brother Don Everly, scored hits with such songs as "Wake Up Little Susie," "Bye Bye Love," and "All I Have to Do Is Dream."
The Everlys began their singing careers together before they were teens, broke up in 1973, and reunited again in 1983. In 1986, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The duo were known for precise, dreamlike harmonies, and their sound was a touchstone for the pop and rock of the 1950s and 1960s. Folk, bluegrass, country music and rock were all woven into their songs with seemingly effortless grace. Groups like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and the Byrds, and solo musicians such as Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, were all influenced by the sound of the Everly Brothers. Other musical acts would rock harder, but few would cut deeper.
The duo continues to have an influence on today's rock and pop stars. Last year, Norah Jones and Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong released an album inspired by the Everly Brothers titled "Foreverly."
"The Everly's had a huge influence on all kinds of musicians," Jones said in an emailed statement. "The high harmonies Phil sang were fluid and so beautiful and always sound effortless in a way that just washes over the listener. He was one of our greats and it's very sad to lose him."

Protein Engineers Recognized for Advances in...
Maximum Depth Sequencing Has the Potential...
Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
The Promise of a Big Payoff...
The keynote speaker for today's lunch was Ted Kennedy Jr., president of the Marwood Group. He spoke about the political catalysts in 2009 that will impact healthcare investing. The presentation can also be accessed as a webcast.
Kennedy believes that under the new Obama administration and a Democratic Congress, healthcare reform initiatives that will probably pass this year are an expanded SCHIP program, a Medicaid bailout (FMAP), and Health IT investment by the government (about $20 billion). The major changes to the product landscape will be new FDA leadership, follow-on biologics review, new generic-friendly policies, and safety issues related to imported drugs.
The big idea for 2009 is passage of a comprehensive healthcare reform bill by Congress that includes a large Medicare bill along with addressing what Kennedy calls the Doctor Payment Fix (i.e., how to pay the docs under any new reform package, which Kennedy estimates to be $300 billion). Kennedy believes Congress will enact a new comprehensive healthcare package, because of this new window of opportunity in which "the planets are aligned to make it happen in 2009."
In contrast to the healthcare reform package proposed by the Clinton administration in 1993, there is no organized opposition to the current plan, and the commitment of Obama and his Secretary of HHS, Tom Daschle, will give rise to a greater probability of success this time around.
It was particularly interesting that Kennedy noted that this time around younger voters are keenly interested in the government providing some form of universal healthcare. In the past, it was the older voters who were interested in Medicare and Medicaid. Now, though, with great uncertainity of the economy, younger voters are concerned that some form of government-sponsored program is around when they get older.
Similar to the Reinhardt's views presented yesterday, Kennedy believes that a $20 billion investment in Healthcare IT will be the cornerstone of this new reform/economic stimulus package.
Kennedy also gave a comprehensive overview of the different sectors of healthcare that will be stressed, segments that will still be stable, growth areas, and companies such as those focused on medical devices and diagnostics (areas that will reduce the rising cost of healthcare) that will do well under the Obama administration.

I had a game last night on a field without lights. VT was a power hitting club! They scored a lot of runs in many innings. I don't think there was anything aroung with the HT pitching or their fielding (for the most part). Just that the VT was well coached in the hitting skills.
So as we entered the bottom of the 5th inning, I told the managers that this would probably be it because it was getting dark.
HT manager got testy! "If we have a 1-2-3 inning, then there would remain enough light to continue to play! You got to let us play!" Sure! I want to let the VT have more batting practice in the top of the 6th at the expense of his kids?
Hey S4B! I get to make the call on a safety issue! [And don't forget, the only one who really has to see the ball is me! And if I can't see it, we call the game for darkness!]
Luckily, HT got a small rally going in the bottom of the 5th and only lost 18-7! And by that time it was really starting to get dark! I would have also sprung the 10-run rule....which was modified by the 2010 house rules; and since we don't have a set for 2012, I would have stood on that! (So put that into your pipe and get arrested for posession of it!)
Would have loved to have seen a protest on that one!
Mike CVUA
For the sake of discussion Mike....
Assuming Little League---Majors---or, competitive minors.
Appears the game should of been stopped by you upon the completion of the home team batting, bottom of the 4th inning, via the 10-run mercy rule. .
In regard to using the "modified" 2010 "house rules"----AKA----Local rules.
LL local rules are annual rules-- thus expire each year; subject to being renewed, or not renewed, by the newly elected incoming BOD.
The option to utilize, or not utilize by a league being embodied in Rule 4.10(e). Citing a 2010 "house rule"....and quoting you.."I would have stood on that"-- absent any reference renewal in 2012... is a no-no!
Since..your words..."we don't have a set for 2012"... stating non-use of the 10-run rule---then by the LL 2012 Rule 4.10(e), the game should of been stopped by you upon the completion of the 4th inning.
Your reference to....." let the VT have more batting practice in the top of the 6th"...-----makes me believe it was a Majors or below game---thus, you stopping it, by the 10-run rule, upon the completion of the bottom of the 4th was in order. Precluding any rationale on your part in regard to darkness and not being able to see the ball to convince the losing manager your intent to stop the game.
The "testy" manager not knowing the 10-run rule, being his problem.
Score at the end of 4: 13-5.
Mike CVUA
Right Mike..
I figured that possibility.....
However, given the score at the end of five innings--18 to 7---
You could of invoked the 10-run rule to stop the game then and there, avoiding any discussion with the "testy" manager about darkness descending, safety issue, 2010 local rules, etc. :-)

ALAMEDA -- Dennis Allen is the happiest, cheeriest, most galvanized Raiders coach I've seen since ...
Well, geez, I can't really think of any truly happy Raiders coach, at least not for the last 10 years or so.
(I'm not counting Hue Jackson's rambunctious reign, because his moods went beyond all normal emotional measurements.)
Of course Allen himself wasn't nearly this gleeful in his previous two seasons as Raiders coach -- at times, to tell the truth, he was deservedly defensive.
But as the Raiders wrapped up their three-day minicamp Thursday, Allen looked so enthused by this new-look roster that he seemed to float from drill to drill.
Asked afterward if he could sense how much his team has improved just by standing in the middle of a practice, Allen practically radiated the happy vibes.
"I don't think there's any question you can feel that," Allen said. "You guys have been around here, too. I think you've seen these practices here for a while. I think we've had an outstanding offseason."
He's right. Anybody who watched those dismal Raiders practices and position groups in the past can tell that they're moving with an extra pep these days.
It doesn't mean they're guaranteed to do much better than the 4-12 records under Allen the past two seasons, but it means the coach feels better about the entire process.
Basically, Year 1 of the Allen/Reggie McKenzie tenure was about getting a fix on the trouble they were in and starting the teardown.
Year 2 was dealing with the bare-bones roster, gritting through the last year of the salary-cap crunch and trying to establish a base structure.
Now this is the start of Year 3, when they've added a bunch of players who fit the Allen/McKenzie archetype and are aiming for a big push.
Oh and yes, Allen and McKenzie will undoubtedly need a big push up the standings to guarantee a Year 4 of this era.
For now, the result is tangibly impressive:
The Raiders have two new quarterbacks (Matt Schaub and Derek Carr) who are better than anybody they had last year; Khalil Mack, a rookie linebacker with immense potential; interesting new defensive backs; and bigger, faster players on both lines.
So I asked defensive lineman Justin Tuck, what do you think about the quality of this roster?
"Very talented," said Tuck, who won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants before signing with the Raiders in March. "But we haven't put on pads yet. So that's when you figure out if guys can play football."
It's fair to point out -- as I have -- that most of these additions are middle-aged players who might be on the downside of their careers.
But when you look at the field and see Tuck, LaMarr Woodley, Schaub, Carr, Donald Penn and especially Mack ... you see a different Raiders team from 2013.
You can understand why Allen is so thrilled, and why he can't wait for the start of training camp in a month.
"I think our guys are battling, they're competing, they're working extremely hard," Allen said. "We've accomplished a lot in this offseason."
On Thursday, with a month-long NFL vacation set to start, the Raiders didn't at all lollygag through this practice. They worked at a fast pace, they communicated to each other, and they bounded from drill to drill with some amount of palpable energy.
There were some good plays by the offense -- particularly throws over the middle by Schaub.
And some good plays by the defense -- particularly when Mack was involved or when the ball was thrown within reach of the young Raiders defensive backs.
There is one big problem: cornerback D.J. Hayden, the first-round draft pick in 2013, missed the entire minicamp with an ankle issue, just as he missed most of the last offseason after surgery to remove scar tissue on his abdomen.
"Yeah, I don't think there's any way you can sugarcoat that -- he's behind," Allen said of Hayden. "But like I said the other day it's nothing that he can't overcome. He needs to be healthy and he needs to be out here and he needs to work. We'll see where he's at when we go to training camp."
That's just about the only sour note, and even then, Allen said it with a shrug, not a scowl.
This is his kind of roster, with his kinds of players. And while it's far from perfect, it sure beats that depressing assemblage the Raiders and Allen ran out there for the past two years.

In Year 3, Raiders coach finally has his type of players. Now he has to win.

SAN JOSE -- Santa Clara County's job boom and economic recovery has widened the income gap, helping create a Silicon Valley of haves and have-nots, according to a report released Tuesday.
"The economy is sizzling in Silicon Valley," said Russell Hancock, president of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which co-authored the closely watched report, the 2014 Silicon Valley Index. "We think it's going to get hotter."
Yet the same Silicon Valley that has produced dazzling breakthroughs in technology and the way people live, work and entertain themselves now must cope with stagnant wages and skyrocketing residential costs that challenge middle- and low-income workers, the Silicon Valley Index shows.
"The wage distribution gap is actually growing," Hancock said. "We are losing our middle class in Silicon Valley."
During 2013, the San Francisco-San Mateo-Marin region posted a 2.6 percent gain in jobs for the year, while Silicon Valley -- defined as Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Fremont, Union City and Scotts Valley -- added 46,700 jobs, up 3.4 percent during the year.
In 2006, 21 percent of the households of Silicon Valley had yearly income levels of less than $35,000, 40 percent -- the middle class -- had income ranges from $35,000 to $99,000, and 39 percent had annual income levels of $100,000 or more.
By 2012, the most recent year for which the data were compiled by Joint Venture, 20 percent of households had incomes less than $35,000, 35 percent were in the $35,000 to $99,000 range, and 45 percent had incomes of $100,000 or more, the report said. The 2012 income figures were not adjusted for inflation.
"This is a tech-led recovery," said Stephen Levy, director of the Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy and a consultant for the report. "But wages at the bottom of the income ladder are stagnating."
The authors of the report say an economic boom hasn't been broad enough to bolster the financial fortunes of all of Silicon Valley's residents.
"Rising tides do not lift all boats," said Emmett Carson, president of Silicon Valley Community Foundation, a philanthropic organization that co-authored the report. "Income inequality continues here. Inequality won't get solved just because you have a robust economy. Deliberate policy actions are needed."
Housing is one of the big problems that challenge low- and middle-income workers. Median household income, adjusted for inflation, is rising by about 2.8 percent a year in Silicon Valley, according to the most recent figures compiled by the report. But during 2013, apartment rents in Silicon Valley rose 4.4 percent to an average of $2,127 a month.
Still, the report made it clear that the surge in the regional economy is remarkable by just about any measure.
In 2013, while total jobs expanded 3.4 percent in the combined region of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, the fastest-growing industry was Internet and information services, which powered to a gain of 19.1 percent, according to the report. The next strongest sectors, and the only other sectors with double-digit gains, were administrative services, up 12.4 percent, and utilities, up 11.4 percent, the report determined.
"The Silicon Valley economy is sizzling like nowhere else in the country," Hancock said. "It's cloud, mobile devices, apps, software, social media, Internet -- those are the leaders of this boom."
The report's authors also suggested that Silicon Valley increasingly has to include San Francisco, home to Twitter, Salesforce and other tech firms.
"Silicon Valley and its innovation stretches from Market Street in San Francisco to Market Street in San Jose," Hancock said.

From CBS, I moved to Devils Lake to work at WDAZ-TV for a year, before continuing to work at WDAZ in Grand Forks. I married the love of my life Travis on June 23, 2012 and we now live in Bismarck with our three year old son, Corbin. Travis works at KXMB-TV and I at KLJ Engineering and attend Rasmussen College where I'm pursing a Bachelors Degree in Human Resources Management and Organizational Leadership.
Weight has been a struggle for me since I can remember. I do well for a while and then fall off the wagon. Four years ago I lost nearly 50lbs and was doing great. Two months after maintaining my weight, I found out that I was pregnant and gained 70lbs in nine months. I figured after I had Corbin, some of the pounds would fall off. Corbin weight 8lbs 12oz and I only lost 3lbs. Ever since December of 2009, I've been doing fad diets for about a month, trying the gym on and off, and eat healthy and nothing seems to be working. I've recently had some health issues and my doctor told me that in order to have more children and be a part of my children's life, I need to lose weight, but most importantly, I need to do it for me.
I've noticed lately that When I'm at work and I don't have food available to me, I want to eat all the time. I have change in my desk and I find myself going to the vending machine whether it be for pop or food. However, when I'm at home, I don't feel the same way. I don't each breakfast on the weekends and I don't find myself searching for food all the time. At work I'm consantly busy so it's not that I'm eating becuse I'm bored, so I'm not quite sure what it is.
I need to break my terrible eating patterns. I use a thing called My Fitness Pal and I really like it, but I don't feel like its helping me. I can see how terrible my eating is, but I continue to do it.
My mom and I are in a competition this month. Between the two of us, whoever loses the least amount of weight has to do something for the other. She wants me to clean her bathrooms and I want her to vacuum my steps. We'll see how it goes. So far..I think she's winning.

WILLIAMSBURG, Ky. - This weekend, University of the Cumberlands (UC) baseball team will open up Mid-South Conference (MSC) play when they host rival Campbellsville University on Friday, February 22nd and Saturday, February 23rd in a three game series.
On Friday, the Patriots will hold their 3rd annual Military Appreciation Day to show their support and to honor all current and former members of the Armed Forces. The game is set to begin at 1:00 pm with special guest Colonel Steve Sears throwing out the first pitch.
"It's important to honor the men and women of the armed forces at our baseball game because they risk their lives to protect our freedoms," said junior infielder Jared Martin (Cynthiana, KY). "Sometimes people take it for granted, but honoring them reminds us of how courageous and humbling they are."
Throughout the game, all members of the Armed Forces in attendance will be honored for their contributions and service to the United States of America. All military personnel at the game will also receive a ticket for a free meal from the concession stand.
"I'm joining the army to serve my country, get the best possible training for the skill I'm doing, and to provide a sound and secure life for my future wife and children," said senior catcher John Doolittle (Sharpsburg, GA). "Being able to honor America's troops at our baseball game is a great way for us to show our support and provide them some time of relief as they watch the game."
Cumberlands enters the game sitting at 5-4 on the season looking to get off to a hot start in MSC play. Your presence at this game will show your support for the Patriots on the field and our nation's Patriots who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms.

Oh man I'm still reeling from Mr. Completely, Sand and very solid First Tube. Highlight of the show still has to be a turbocharged Push On that had the crowd in an unbridled frenzy. Don't believe me? Go to Youtube and check it out.
Trey Anastasio Band,
Thursday, 10/13/2011
The Fillmore Silver Spring, Silver Spring, MD
Set 1: In the Wee Wee Hours, Gotta Jibboo, Alive Again, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Money, Love and Change, Burn That Bridge, Burlap Sack and Pumps, Push On 'Til the Day, Alaska, Tuesday, Black Dog
Set 2: Sand, Valentine, Drifting, Simple Twist Up Dave, Liquid Time, Pigtail, Mr. Completely, Ether Sunday, Magilla, Night Speaks to a Woman, First Tube
Encore: Clint Eastwood, Heavy Things, Sultans of Swing
Musicians: Trey Anastasio, Russell Remington, Jennifer Hartswick, Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis, Ray Paczkowski, Natalie Cressman
I went to the Ram's Head show and this one, and I think this one is better overall. I thought the placement of songs was better in this show; the Ram's Head show lost some energy in the second set with several mellow songs. Songs such as, Gotta Jibbo, Burn that Bridge, Alaska, and Pigtail, that are played with both Phish and TAB, work better with TAB in my opinion. Trey was very good this night. Gotta Jibbo, Push on 'Til the Day, Sand, and Mr. Completely all had great jams. Drifting and Liquid Time were beautiful. First Tube brought down the house, and the triple encore was great.
Arrived late (during Devil Went Down to Georgia) because they started way early, and we walked in to this great new venue to see a decent crowd. Hit the bar on Fishman Side got drinks and went up next to the stage behind Ray's rig (pro tip: easy to go back forth throughout the night from the bar to that spot on the rail). High energy Push On til the Day and Black Dog were set one highlights. The second set and encore were great, but I just wonder why Trey writes these sets to bring the crowd energy up and then drop it down...over and over again. Second set would have been PERFECT without Valentine, Drifting, Liquid Time, and Pigtail. Strong close with Magilla, Night Speaks and a blistering First Tube. Plus that 3 song encore was money.

Sen. Roraback in 5th District
The race to succeed Christopher Murphy as the 5th Congressional District representative features two smart, hard-working candidates: state Sen. Andrew W. Roraback, R-Goshen, and former state Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-Cheshire. We have endorsed both in the past. This time, our support goes to Sen. Roraback, an 18-year veteran of the legislature.
Sen. Roraback favors pro-growth economic policies. For example, he says he will continue to work for regulatory reform. When he met with the Republican-American's editorial board, Sen. Roraback recounted fighting to repeal a state law that prohibited Litchfield restaurants from using tomatoes from the town's farmers' market.

2.9-8 Discharge of Alternate
Revised to January 1, 2008
At this time I will discharge the
alternate juror[s]. You should not have any contact with the other jurors
during their deliberations, and you should not discuss the case with anyone
until after a verdict has been rendered. You may call the clerk to determine
when and if this has occurred.
You have listened with great attention
to the evidence and the charge, and you have been ready, willing and able to
step in and serve in the event that one of the first six jurors was no longer
able to serve. Because all of them are here and ready to deliberate, we will
not have to ask you to help decide the case. Your presence was nevertheless
very important and the parties, the lawyers and the court all thank you for your
You are discharged. You should report
to the jury administration room now and tell them you have been discharged.
The other six jurors should adjourn to
the jury deliberation room.
Given the effort of the alternate
jurors, it is common to ask counsel for the parties and the alternate jurors
themselves if they should be sworn in as regular jurors and be permitted to
deliberate in the case. This can be done only by agreement.
There are circumstances when the
judge may wish not to discharge the alternate jurors or to emphasize the
possibility that they may be recalled. Those circumstances will most often
occur where the case has been bifurcated or where, because of the anticipated
length of deliberation or other conditions, concern exists as to whether a
regular juror might be lost during deliberation.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi Islanders Cheer Team welcomed a special guest at practice on Saturday, Dec. 7, in the Moody Fieldhouse. Head Instructor for the National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Jared Hall shared his knowledge with the team to prepare them for the Spirit Celebration National Championships on Feb. 22-23 at the University of North Texas.
"I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Islanders Cheer program," Hall said. "The program has definitely continued to grow over the past years since I saw them last. They definitely are a great team to work with, lots of energy and enthusiasm for cheer, and supporting Islanders Athletics with pride.
"I hope that they are now able to take the things we worked on and progress even further. I definitely look forward to coming back in January to do a follow-up visit."
Hall, a former cheerleader for Sam Houston State, helped his team win nationals in 2012 and knows what it takes to succeed at the collegiate level.
"He came my freshman year, but I feel our team this year has what it takes to get to the next level and Jared's skills that he brought to us on Saturday will help us achieve our goals at nationals," Captain Alyssa Echeverria said. "With that said, the cheerleaders were determined to learn from him and they never gave up, especially the coeds."
Hall and the Islanders practiced coed stunts in the morning along with all-girl and team stunts in the afternoon. For the all-girl stunts, he worked with the girls on their bid video for nationals and helped the coeds polish their sideline skills along with their timeout routines. Hall taught the squad safety skills, including the correct techniques and handgrips in order to try new stunts and make current stunts easier.
"I'm used to working with the all-girl groups from being a former cheerleader myself, so I needed a coed point of view to help the coeds," Islanders Head Stunt and Tumbling Coach Catherine Calderone said. "I saw a huge improvement in the coeds from him coming out and having a coed-to-coed lesson."
The Islanders will welcome Hall back to campus on Jan. 18 to help the team polish their competition routine and to sharpen the skills that he taught them on Saturday.
"Overall it was a very good experience for the entire team and we are ready to see what nationals has for us," Echeverria added.

Five key players
QB Colin Kaepernick is 7-2 as a starter and his dual-threat capability has produced 2,310 passing yards, 617 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns through 18 games.
"There was a day in practice where we couldn't gain a yard against our defense, so we called it up, and he ran 80 yards for a touchdown. So, we saw it in practice during a competitive scrimmage situation." -- Offensive coordinator Greg Roman on the first time they saw Kaepernick's explosive running ability
LB Patrick Willis was the 49ers' second-leading tackler in the regular season (171), and he has one of their two playoff sacks.
"We feed off each other a lot. Throughout any game, me and Pat are always on the same page. We're always just talking about anything. I think when it comes to it, our defense having any type of success, me and Pat have to be on our job, and we're always on it." -- Linebacker NaVorro Bowman
WR Michael Crabtree, breaking out in his fourth season, leads the team with 100 receptions and 11 touchdown catches.
"We were one step away last year, and now we are here, and we just have to take over. I feel like I still have something to prove. I just have to go hard and do my job on Sunday." -- Crabtree
RB Frank Gore has been the offense's heart and soul since 2005, and he has rushed for 1,423 yards and 11 touchdowns this season.
"He's just like a bull. He goes downhill on you really fast. I think he's more loose than people think he is. I have respect for his game because if you watch Frank Gore, he doesn't take the hits. He actually delivers them because of his low center of gravity." -- Ravens running back Ray Rice
K David Akers has made just 30 of 42 field-goal attempts this season and missed his only attempt (38 yards) in the NFC championship game.
"It's not like I forgot how to kick. I've had issues come up, like misjudging the wind." -- Akers
Three intangibles
1. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and offensive coordinator Greg Roman previously served as Ravens assistants and know their opponents well. Fangio was a defensive assistant in Baltimore from 2009 to 2010, and as much as he has raved about quarterback Joe Flacco, he also knows how to attack him.
2. The Superdome is a familiar venue for the 49ers, who played in New Orleans every season from 1970 to 2001 and beat the Saints there this season. The 49ers know the surface, the sounds and the atmosphere that awaits them. The Superdome was the site of the franchise's fourth Super Bowl victory -- the 55-10 rout of the Denver Broncos, the most lopsided game in Super Bowl history.
3. The 49ers are favored, and they also are seeking redemption for a 2011 Thanksgiving night loss at Baltimore in which their highly acclaimed offensive line allowed nine sacks in a 16-6 defeat. Look for Jim Harbaugh to seize on that aspect, along with trying to defeat his brother, John. As Michael Crabtree said: "I'm sure when you're younger, you want to beat your brother. Why not now?"
Three matchups 49ers must win
1. Outside linebacker Aldon Smith is seeking to snap a five-game drought without a sack, and he'll most often have to get past 11-year veteran Bryant McKinnie. Smith will need to flash the burst that helped him rack up 19½ sacks in the first 13 games, and he'll need to find a route past the game's biggest body in Mount McKinnie (6 feet 8, 354 pounds).
2. Inside linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman will need to neutralize one of the NFL's best fullbacks in Vonta Leach, who has been selected to the past three Pro Bowls. Overcoming Leach will go a long way to stopping Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said of Leach: "He's dominated some linebackers around the league, inside linebackers in particular. And we better be ready to take him on."
3. Tight end Vernon Davis' playoff prowess will be put to the test against linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Ray Lewis. Davis had a breakout game in the NFC championship against Atlanta, and the Ravens would be wise to take away those same underneath and intermediate routes. If the 49ers don't test those linebackers, the more perilous option is to have Davis run through a secondary featuring nine-time Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed.
Five key numbers
4 -- Of Colin Kaepernick's 101 incompletions this season, only four have been the result of an underthrown pass, though one came in the Superdome and resulted in a Saints interception Nov. 25.
15 -- The 49ers have 15 players who were first-round draft picks; the Ravens have eight. The 49ers are Alex Smith, Michael Crabtree, A.J. Jenkins, Ted Ginn Jr., Carlos Rogers, Donte Whitner, Patrick Willis, Leonard Davis, Joe Staley, Anthony Davis, Mike Iupati, Randy Moss, Vernon Davis, Justin Smith and Aldon Smith.
163 -- In their five Super Bowls, the 49ers threw 163 passes without an interception, including 122 from Joe Montana in his four victories (with 11 touchdown passes). Their touchdown to interception ratio is 17:0.
236 -- The 49ers have rushed for an average of 236 yards in their two postseason games. The only team with a better average (in at least two games) was the 1941 Chicago Bears (242.0 yards per game). The 49ers are averaging 6.6 yards per carry, including 11.2 by Kaepernick.
357.8 -- Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 357.8 passing yards in the 49ers' four playoff games under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who hasn't minded "as long as we come out on top."
Top 3 strengths
Run defense: NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis are arguably the league's two best inside linebackers, and they'll combine with an outstanding supporting cast to try forcing the well-balanced Ravens into a pass-oriented mode.
Stat: The 49ers allowed only 94.2 rushing yards per game in the regular season; 92.5 per game through two playoff games.
Run offense: The 49ers' average of 236 rushing yards per game is a tribute to outstanding blocking and, of course, the talented trifecta of Frank Gore, LaMichael James and Colin Kaepernick. The pistol and read-option formations spark their production and keep them unpredictable.
Stat: The 49ers' 2,491 rushing yards in the regular season were the fourth-most in franchise history.
Ball protection: Rarely do the 49ers commit turnovers, and when they do, they typically respond with a touchdown drive, as has been the case after each of Kaepernick's four career interceptions.
Stat: Their 16 regular-season turnovers tied for the second-fewest in franchise history, behind only the 10 turnovers they had last season.
Top 3 weaknesses
Field-goal kicking: After setting NFL records last season by making 44 of 52 field goals, and opening this season with a record-tying 63-yarder at Green Bay, David Akers has struggled mightily. The 49ers brought in Billy Cundiff to challenge Akers before the playoffs, and Akers retained his job.
Stat: Akers has missed 14 of his past 38 field-goal attempts (a 64 percent conversion rate).
Sacking quarterbacks: How can this be a weakness when Aldon Smith set a franchise record with 19½ regular-season sacks? Because he has none in the past five games, and the 49ers' pass rush hasn't been the same since Justin Smith injured his left arm Dec. 16.
Stat: The 49ers have compiled only 12 sacks over their past seven games. They didn't sack Joe Flacco in their 2011 meeting.
Committing penalties: Communication issues resulted in Colin Kaepernick drawing two delay-of-game penalties in three road games: at New Orleans, Seattle and in the NFC final at Atlanta. Defensively, Dashon Goldson has been flagged five times for unnecessary roughness (once in the NFC title game) and twice for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Stat: Only one NFC team had more penalty yards than the 49ers (59.4 per game) this season. Then again, no team in the league had more than the Ravens (69.2 yards per game).

Cash Gushes Into Stock Funds
Inflows last week into U.S. stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds were the most in two months, with investors pumping money into stock funds as the S&P 500 rose again to record highs.
Investors placed $11.5 billion into both U.S. stock mutual funds and ETFs in the week ended Oct. 23, according to fund tracker Lipper. Last week's intake was the largest since Sept. 18, and compares with an inflow of $9.7 billion in week ended Oct. 16.
Traditional U.S. stock mutual funds, excluding ETFs, took in $4 billion, the largest single-week gain since the week of Jan. 9, towering over the $915 million that flowed in during the previous week.
Domestic stock ETFs received $7.5 billion, compared with $8.8 billion a week earlier.
The biggest takers among ETFs all are made up of U.S. stock funds. The market's behemoth, the $156 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), took in $2.9 billion last week. Enthusiasm for tech stocks saw the Nasdaq-100 Index tracking PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) rake in $1 billion, while the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 (MDY) absorbed $750 million.
Demand picked up for funds made up of overseas stocks as well. International equity mutual funds and ETFs took in $4.2 billion last week, also the most in two months. Investors have been particularly keen on Europe, where signs of stability for are cropping up for the first time in years. Investors poured $5 billion into European stock mutual funds and ETFs last week, the most ever, according to Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Europe-based stock funds have soaked up cash for 17 consecutive weeks.
The S&P is sitting less than one point beneath a new record. Stocks have been pushing higher since lawmakers averted a U.S. debt crisis earlier and as concerns that the Federal Reserve will start to cut back its stimulus efforts this year recede.

Mental, emotional and physical development are important for growing children, whether they are two months old or teenagers. The best way to assess these developments is with a well-child exam, which Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James offers year-round.
"The well-child exam is a comprehensive checkup that helps to support children or teenagers' health and well-being," says Jennifer Langbehn, D.O., Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James family physician. "Our compassionate providers evaluate young children to measure if they are meeting developmental milestones. For older children and teens, we provide sports physicals and education for healthy lifestyle choices."
During the lifestyle education conversation, providers and patients discuss major topics of concern, including drinking, drug use, weight issues, the importance of helmet and seat belt use, and sexuality.
Mayo Clinic Health System providers test younger children for developmental milestones based on their age. For example, at two weeks, providers monitor the infant's feeding habits and growth. At five years old, knowledge of the ABCs, basic colors and home address is tested. The provider teams will also use this time to update immunizations if needed.
Based on exam results, health care provider teams advise parents if their child or teen should begin, change or continue specific therapies or health regimens to improve overall health and well-being. Common issues addressed include problems with hearing, speaking and walking.
"The health of the children in our community is extremely important," adds Dr. Langbehn. "We want to ensure that students are prepared for school, sports and life in general. A well-child exam is a great first step toward achieving that."
