Pride weekend celebrations got an early start in San Francisco with a Castro District rally Wednesday evening after the U.S. Supreme Court rulings paved the way for same-sex marriage to resume.
The decisions about the federal Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8, the 2008 initiative banning same-sex marriage, came just days before this weekend's annual Pride festivities in the Castro District and throughout the city.
The theme of the 43rd annual pride celebration is "Embrace, Encourage, Empower" and entails two full days of festivals and a massive parade through downtown San Francisco Sunday.
The festival on Saturday and Sunday includes more than 20 stages throughout the Mid-Market area with musical acts, performances and countless dancing opportunities.
Musical groups Hedwig & the Angry Inch, Nina Sky, Gypsy Love and dozens of others will rock the main stage during the community celebration.
State Attorney General Kamala Harris, with Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, will also grace the stage on Sunday.
The parade starts at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, winding down from Market and Beale streets to the Civic Center.
As part of the parade, several celebrities and activists will be honored as grand marshals, including TV show "Glee" star Alex Newell, "Project Runway" designer Mondo Guerra and Tabatha Coffey of Bravo's "Tabatha Takes Over" fame.
The night before the parade, the annual Pink Saturday party held in the Castro by the charitable group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, will be an alcohol-free event with plenty of music and entertainment to keep the streets flowing.
The free block party shuts down several blocks of Castro Street starting at Market Street, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Police have advised they will be monitoring the event closely, along with other celebrations in the Castro and elsewhere throughout the weekend.
Police said they are urging Pride participants to be cautious with strangers and to report suspicious situations.
A tradition heading off Pink Saturday is the "Dykes on Bikes" ride from Dolores Park to the party spot, as part of the Dyke March with members of the lesbian community celebrating on motorcycles and a massive rally through the streets.
Starting off the flurry of Pride events is the Trans March this evening.
Celebrating its tenth year, organizer Tracy Garza said, the theme "A Decade of Change" will focus on the transgender community's growth and strength.
Last year thousands joined the march, and Garza said organizers are expecting more people this year with the Supreme Court rulings promoting more trans and non-gender-conforming community support.
As part of the march, which starts with an afternoon brunch in Dolores Park and then heads to Turk and Taylor streets around 6 p.m., several trans activists will perform and speak, including Oakland-based writer and filmmaker Kortney Ryan Ziegler and San Francisco Youth Commissioner Mia Tu Mutch.
Garza said speakers will also honor Bradley Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst accused of leaking classified information to the online group WikiLeaks, who caused controversy when the SF Pride Committee initially nominated, then rescinded, him as a grand marshal for this year's event.
Manning is openly gay and remains in military custody.
Following the march there will be two after-parties, one at the bar El Rio in the Outer Mission and the other at the San Francisco LGBT Community Center on Market Street.
The 18th display of the Pink Triangle will go up on Twin Peaks on 7 a.m. Saturday morning before a 10:30 a.m. ceremony with city and Pride officials and other special guests.
The noticeably bright pink triangle, which project founder Patrick Carney described as "in your face," is meant to remind the community of those persecuted for their sexuality.
"It's about remembering where we've been," Carney said, "and understanding all the sacrifices that came before."
Carney said although the LGBT community is celebrating in California this week, other parts of the world are still killing and discriminating against gay people.
Once the 175 bright pink tarps and nearly 5,000 12-inch long steel stakes are in place, a ceremony with San Francisco Symphony Director Michael Tilson Thomas will begin, along with elected officials including state Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco.
State assemblymen Tom Ammiano and Phil Ting, San Francisco supervisors David Chiu, Scott Wiener, David Campos and Malia Cohen are also expected to attend the ceremony.
Several celebrity grand marshals will also make an appearance, Carney said.
Volunteers will also be needed to take down the triangle Sunday afternoon after the temporary hillside monument is on display throughout Pride weekend.
This year organizers are expecting larger crowds at the various festivities with marriage equality and gay rights making strides in California this week.
On Wednesday evening, before official pride celebrations began, a Decision Day rally was held in the Castro District, shutting down several blocks as the LGBT community and supporters celebrated the high court's decisions.
Castro/Upper Market Community Benefit District executive director Andrea Aiello said the group has been preparing the Castro for an influx of visitors and revelers.
Merchants have been given a "heads up," Aiello said, and extra staff has been called in.
Aiello said she expects crowds to "stream into the Castro after the parade" but the effect of the Supreme Court rulings will be felt throughout.
"All of San Francisco is buzzing," she said.
She said planned street closures for Pink Saturday and police units prepared for heavy foot traffic during the weekend will help mitigate problems in the area.
She said extensive planning and preparation should make for a successful weekend.
"People are really excited," Aiello said.
After the excitement dims Sunday night, the community benefit district has a "clean team" ready to sweep up remnants of the celebratory weekend.
The clean team, which works with the city's Department of Public Works, Aiello said, was already deployed to clean up after Wednesday night's festivities.
As part of the long list of activities happening on Pride weekend, the GLBT History Museum is offering free admission Sunday.
The museum also offered free entry Wednesday after the decisions about Proposition 8 and DOMA were announced.
"We encourage the community to come in on certain special holidays," museum spokesman Gerard Koskovich said.
A wall of monitors visible from outside the museum, located at 4127 18th St., will livestream the parade starting at 10 a.m. alongside historical footage -- some never seen before -- from parades of past years.
Footage from the 1973 Pride parade, which then took place on Polk Street, will be screened, along with parade archives from throughout the 1980s and 1990s maintained by the GLBT Historical Society.
San Francisco Municipal Railway service will be impacted by the slew of events and street festivities starting today.
Muni officials are advising riders to plan ahead and expect rerouted buses and limited service throughout many parts of the system.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and crowded streets along Market Street, downtown and Civic Center areas and the Castro District.

VIENNA - People flocked to area stores Wednesday to return Christmas gifts that may not have fit, were the wrong color or were just not right for them while others took advantage of after-Christmas sales and the chance to use gift cards they might have received on Christmas.
The Grand Central Mall saw large crowds Wednesday.
''The mall is very busy (Wednesday),'' said Katrina Stephens, marketing director. ''As I walked the mall a short while ago, I saw lots of shoppers with bags, which is always a good sign.''

The mall was operating with four additional shopping hours Wednesday, being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., compared to a normal Wednesdayof 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
''As with any gift-giving holiday, returns and exchanges can always be expected,'' Stephens said. ''Often times, this might just be a size or color exchange, but as we all know, sometimes gifts are returned for store credit or refunds.
''Hopefully those shoppers will find something else they prefer at the same retailer, or from one of our nearly 100 stores here on property.''
Many stores are also starting their special after-the holidays sales as well as a number of special deals.
''The majority of our retailers roll out after-Christmas sales, semi-annual sales and exclusive offers to take advantage of shoppers who received gift cards during the holidays,'' Stephens said.
Shoppers have purchased nearly $300,000 in Grand Central Mall Gift Cards to date during December.
''We expect to see much of that come back to our retailers rather quickly,'' Stephens said.
A number of stores and kiosks had signs out announcing sales. Many holiday-themed items and time sensitive merchandise were maked down as much as 50 percent, while many stores had their own sales going on.
Many people were out taking advantage of sales while others wanted to get out of the houses after the holiday and do something different.
Chris and Ashley Myers of Meigs County, Ohio, were both returning items, getting a ring sized and looking at the sales.
''The day-after-Christmas sales are always the best,'' Chris Myers said. ''We have some stuff to return.
''It is basically being able to get out and spending some family time together before we all have to go to work.''
Ashley Myers said the crowds did not bother her.
''I'm use to it,'' she said. ''This is our favorite time of year.
''I like the crowds.''
Patti Barrett and Shannon Barrett of Lubeck just wanted to be able to get out together and do some shopping.
''We just wanted to spend some time together just looking for sales,'' Patti Barrett said.
Although the mall was crowded, she was expecting there to be more people.
''It was not as bad as I was expecting it to be,'' she said. ''I was kind of expecting it I guess.''
Leah Riley of Ravenswood said she had some returns to do with a couple of items that did not fit and she wanted the chance to look at some of the sales.
''There are some good deals going on,'' she said.
She had come out to the mall early and was able to do quick returns and start looking at a number of sales items.
''It wasn't so busy earlier, but (at around 3 p.m.) you have to wait in line for 10-15 minutes for returns,'' she said. ''I even walked out of a store because the line was so long.
''Still, I think everything went well. I didn't have any complications, I didn't have any hassles and I did returns with no problems.''

Saturday's letters: Political hacks
Published: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
To the editor: Another interesting thing has happened on the Wall Street scene. The Tribune Co. has bought 19 more TV stations, making it one of the largest station groups in the country. Financing came from a $4.1 billion line of credit from JP Morgan and Citi.
The interesting thing is that the Tribune Co. just emerged from bankruptcy late last year.
If you or I go through the misery of bankruptcy, our credit is trashed for a long, long time. And if we get a small amount of credit, we pay an exorbitant amount of interest.
The rules of corporations sound the same as those that you and I follow. A bankruptcy is a bankruptcy, isnt it? But these rules, which sound the same, are vastly different. And we know that bankruptcy is only one example of the difference.
If we understand that politicians of all parties have purposefully made this playing field uneven, we realize that we are responsible. Why? Because we have re-elected each of them.
We elect politicians (political hacks) because our political parties misdirect our attention to hot-button emotional issues that will never be resolved. Our political parties never encourage us to see the mischief under the rug.
Bill Fitch
Pressing needs
To the editor: The Times-News devotes considerable print space to the Flat Rock Playhouse, including a seemingly endless string of letters touting the virtues of its latest performance. And while I am a fan and believe the Playhouse is a significant player in the local economy and culture of our community, it is only one of many quality entertainment venues.
In my opinion, the Playhouse primarily benefits the local merchants and those local residents who can afford the tickets. I question whether taxpayer money can be justified to support such an enterprise that benefits only a narrow segment of our community. It once did and once again should be required to stand on its own financially, and be supported solely by those who benefit from it.
There are many other important issues to be covered in the Times-News columns and letters, such as education, health care, mental health, crime and drugs, hospital issues, unemployment and attracting new businesses. How do we justify public money and disproportionate news space going to Playhouse entertainment when there are so many other pressing social needs to be addressed? Somebody needs to say it.
Clay Smith
Media garbage
To the editor: Why do the media refer to themselves as the news media? They no longer tell just the facts, as the Dragnet TV show used to say. Instead, they present news from the perspective they want us to see it as. Instead of the whole truth, they report half-truths, take things out of context to push their politically correct agenda.
It will be a cold day in hell when they give coverage to President Barack Obama like they did during Mr. George W. Bushs eight years in office. They feed us what garbage they hope we will swallow. Fox News attempts to feed us both sides. Notice I said attempts.
Our country was founded as a Christian nation. Freedom of religion was extended to all faiths. Weve allowed this politically correct garbage, among other things, to assume all religions are OK except Christianity. Imagine if I said I was offended by you saying or praying to Mohammad. Would there be this same offended by garbage? The answer is no!
Christians believe in everyones right of freedom of religion. If you are offended by my praying and saying Jesus name, then I say Get a life!
This is what I believe.

SAN ANDREAS - An Angels Camp police sergeant might have dozed off before his patrol vehicle went off of Highway 4 and struck a tree Sunday, according to a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman.
Sgt. Steven Poortinga. 38, was driving home after the end of his shift accompanied by his police dog, Kain, when the 2008 Ford Crown Victoria that Poortinga was driving struck a tree west of Angels Road at 3:14 a.m. Sunday, according to the CHP report.
The report said that the vehicle was traveling 65 to 70 mph.
Driving home tired is an occupational hazard for law enforcement officers, who often work irregular hours and may have daytime court appearances even when they are also scheduled to work night shifts, CHP Officer Rebecca Myers said.
"He probably dozed off," Myers said. "It is right on a curve, and he just went right into a tree, no braking, no skid marks."
Poortinga was treated for major injuries at a Modesto hospital Sunday and then released. His K-9, Kain, was taken to a veterinary hospital and checked for injuries, then released, according to a statement by the Angels Camp Police Department.
Both sergeant and dog are now at home together recuperating. The Police Department said it's unknown how long it will be before they can return to duty.

It's almost Friday, October 31, Halloween is right around the corner, and love is in the air. Well, maybe love doesn't consume the air, but Halloween is definitely a holiday that many people really love. Whether it's eating all of those delicious Halloween treats, being scared at a haunted house, carving pumpkins, or dressing up as a sexy nurse, people love this holiday for many different reasons.
I love Halloween too. BUT, I love "love" more. To honor my love of love and all things lovely, I thought I'd give you some love-themed Halloween costume ideas so that you too can incorporate your love for love into this spooky holiday.
First, you could be the Love Guru
(a character from a Mike Myers movie).
You could also be a love bug.
Or a hippie who spreads peace and love.
Or a crew member from the Love Boat.
There's also this sexy woman with hearts all over her.
This costume, by the way, is called the "prisoner of love" costume.
Last, but definitely not least is Lucille Ball from "I Love Lucy."
Whether you love Halloween or you just love "love" (which I'm assuming you do because you read this blog), dressing up can be fun for anyone at any age.
So, what are YOU planning to be this Halloween?

Hundreds more jobs may be landing in the Greensboro area.
Greensboro's city council has planned a public hearing for Tuesday night on whether to give TIMCO Aviation Services $400,000 in taxpayer help with expansion. Guilford County commissioners are expected to consider the same amount as the aircraft maintenance company adds 400 jobs.
The company that repairs airliners and military planes has outgrown its four hangars at Piedmont Triad International Airport and is turning away work. TIMCO employs about 1,800 people there and a Davidson County factory.
The company hasn't said where else it may be considering expansion, but also has operations in Macon, Ga., and the Cincinnati area.

'The Walking Dead' Season 4, Episode 3, 'Isolation': TV Recap
The last word of tonight's episode of "The Walking Dead" provided the most shocking moment, even more jarring than seeing a Dodge Charger spinning its wheels in a pile of walkers.
Ever since the end of last week's, when we saw Karen and David's charred bodies, we assumed the culprit was some malcontent on the inside, maybe even a spy sent by The Governor (we'd heard that rumor somewhere). We suspected Bob. During the week, a few people suggested (at least one in our comment section) that it was somebody trying to keep the flu from spreading. Okay, plausible. But we still held out on the thought it was a doer of evil.
At some point during tonight's episode, "Isolation," we started thinking that it was Carol; maybe it was the odd way she expressed her sympathy to Tyreese over Karen's death, then had that big outburst. Carol's done as much as anybody to keep this prison going, and to make it a home, a refuge, someplace where even the kids are safe. How far would she go to protect that?
That was the theme of tonight's episode, far as we can tell – how far would you go to protect the group? (In an oddly perverse way this business of a weekly theme reminds us of some of the old 70s shows, "Good Times" especially, which always had some kind of theme to each episode. Of course, no matter how bad things got for the Evans family, they were always laughing at the end. Not so with the Grimes clan.) "Everybody has a job to do," Beth reminds her sister, and they need to do it without crying or complaining, no matter what it is or how dangerous. That's how the pod survives.
It isn't so easy to do. The permanent residents of the former West Georgia Correctional Facility are quickly becoming infected by the flu that first showed up in episode one. It's moved from the walkers outside the fence to just about everybody on the inside. It not only moves fast among the population, it moves fast within the body. It's clear to the governing council that they have very little time to arrest this thing. It's especially clear to Glenn, who sits there quietly – trying to control the fever he can feel coming on.
They need antibiotics, but they've cleaned out everything nearby. A desperate measure is agreed upon: Hershel thinks a foraging party might find antibiotics at a veterinary college at West Peachtree Tech – animal antibiotics apparently are the same as human antibiotics (who knew). But it's 50 miles away. It's a long and dangerous trip. Daryl immediately volunteers to lead it. That's how far he's willing to go for the group. Hershel wants to go, too. But with only one leg, he'd be a sure drag (pun intended). So he glumly gets stuck at home.
Tyreese is overcome by Karen's death, and especially the grisly manner in which she was killed. Rick, Daryl, and Carol try to console him, but in his rage, he slugs Rick. Bad idea. Rick pummels Tyreese, and practically breaks his shooting hand on Tyreese's face before Daryl finally pulls him off. The line between pig-farmer Rick and Crazy Town Rick is apparently very fine.
A production note: we were struck by three performances tonight: Scott Wilson, who plays Hershel; Chad Coleman, who plays Tyreese; and Melissa McBride, who plays Carol. The first has a career going back to "In Cold Blood" in 1967, the second is known from "The Wire," and Ms. McBride is in her first recurring role. All three breath vivid life into their characters as they try and deal with the horrors of this world.
The group does their best to isolate everybody who's been infected. But it moves too fast. Sasha comes down with it. Glenn comes down with it. A lot of people we don't know come down with it. Little Lizzy, Carol's newly adopted daughter, comes down with it.
Hershel can't stand just sitting around with the children and elderly in the administration building, while everybody else is dying in another. (He sits under one of those inspirational-type paintings: "Smooth seas do not make good sailors.") So off he goes into the woods, with Carl tagging along – looking for berries.
The foraging party is set: Daryl, Michonne, Bob – and Tyreese, bashed-up face and all, who's decided this is what he's willing to do to try and save his sister. Off they race in a purring Dodge Charger that belonged to Zach, who died at the Big Spot.
Back at the prison, Rick, Carol, and Maggie are trying as best they can to keep things going. Maggie's having a hard time, seeing as Glenn's in the sick ward. But Beth – isolated with Judith in administration – is having none of it. "We don't get to be upset," she tells her sister. "We all have our jobs to do."
Hershel returns with his berries, which he plans to brew in tea as a fever reducer. Maggie and Rick try to stop him, it's far too risky, but he's having none of it. "You walk outside, you risk your life. You take a drink of water, you risk your life. Nowadays you breath and you risk your life," he says. "You don't have a choice. The only thing you can choose is what you're risking it for."
Usually Hershel delivers his sermons like the wise old owl, but this one comes across as a desperate man who knows he's about to throw his life away. It's a good moment, and well played by the veteran actor Scott Wilson.
The foraging party is racing down the highway when Daryl turns on the radio and asks for a CD. While Michonne's foraging through Zach's CD collection (Zach was apparently partial to Synchro Nine Factor, an Atlanta band), they hear a voice through the static. A few words are clear: "Sanctuary…survive…alive."
(Update: After watching the episode with the closed captioning feature, we now know that this is what came across the radio: "Find sanctuary…determined to survive…stay alive.")
The four of them are so mesmerized, they don't see the army of walkers they are driving right into. Before they can react, they are surrounded. As the camera pans up, we see the college up ahead – and maybe a thousand walkers in between.
Backing up doesn't work. The car gets bogged down in walker bodies like they were just muck. So the make a run for it (like Daryl told Hershel). Daryl, Michonne, and Bob manage, but Tyreese gets surrounded; indeed, he seems to welcome, and although we see him break through, it's not clear how he managed that without getting bit or scratched (for all we know, he may have been).
Another reason why Michonne is the best fighter of the group occurred to us during this flight: As cool as Daryl's crossbow is, he carries only five arrows at a time (one in the flight groove, four in the quiver). Guns run out of bullets. But Michonne can slice heads with that Katana sword forever.
The last we see of the four of them, they're running.
Back at the prison, Rick and Carol are about the only two left who are keeping the whole place running. Maybe it was the odd exchange between Carol and Tyreese, when she expressed her sympathies, but a thought started creeping into our heads. Apparently, it was in Rick's head, too.
Carol, as we've mentioned before, has been completely transformed: When we first saw her, she was a battered, beaten housewife too scared to even defend her own daughter from her predatory husband. But Carol not only survived, she became a survivor, a magnet to others and as important to the group in her own way as Rick and Daryl and Hershel in theirs.
"You do a lot for us," Rick tells her. "For the kids. You sacrifice a lot. Is there anything you wouldn't do for the people here?"
"No," she says flatly.
"Carol," Rick says. "Did you kill Karen and David?"
"Yes," she says flatly. That's what Carol's willing to do to save the group, and it's worth wondering if Carol is starting to walk in Crazy Town.

The principal and athletic director at Greely High School in Cumberland said in a letter to parents that two girls appear to be giving the Adolf Hitler-style salute while a third girls sits between them. They say one team member has been nicknamed Hitler. All three girls are wearing their basketball uniforms.
The letter says "whether done in ignorance or with hate," such behavior is "simply unacceptable."
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/WC1yhe) reports the letter also said other "inappropriate and biased language" was used by team members.
Principal Dan McKeone says players have been disciplined, but he didn't disclose the exact nature of the punishment.

As we all know Tippmannmarkers have a long maintained reputation for reliability and performance, but sometimes at the cost of slightly more kick. This problem is solved with TechT's introduction of the Zero Kick Hammer SE with striker extension.
Being that the hammer is much lighter and quicker than the stock hammer it reduces the markers mechanical dwell greatly while giving you a faster trigger pull and drastically reduced kick. This all equates to less time your opponent has to react which in turn leads to more wins for you.
Don't miss out on this fantastic and worthy upgrade.

PICKERINGTON - The Newark Catholic Lady Green Wave jumped out to a huge first-half lead before being forced to hold off a fierce comeback as they went on to defeat the Waterford Lady Wildcats 52-50 in a regional semifinal game at Pickerington North High Thursday night.
The Green Wave led by as many as 15 points in the opening half before the Wildcats clawed their way all the way back to actually take the lead in the third quarter.
"When you get into a big game like this, you just can't dig yourself a hole like that," said Wildcat head coach Jerry Close. "But what an effort our girls made in the second half to come back."
Catholic came out clicking on all cylinders from the start as the Lady Wave connected on eight of their first 10 shots to claim an 18-6 lead at the end of one quarter of play.
Senior guard Caroline Wollenburg hit on all five of her first-period shots to lead the way for Newark Catholic.
Regan Porter opened the second quarter for the Warriors with three freebies before the Green Wave went on an 8-2 run to extend their lead to 26-11.

Next Game: Newark Catholic, Regional Final, Saturday vs. Reedsville Eastern.
The Lady Cats got a huge boost off the bench from junior Randee Seevers, who drilled a triple to close the lead to 26-14, but point guard Kelly Clapper answered for Newark Catholic with a three ball of her own to once again make it a 15-point lead.
The next three minutes proved to be crucial in the Lady Cats attempt to get back into the game as another trey by Seevers sparked a 9-1 half ending run that sent the green and white to intermission trailing by just seven at 30-23.
Freshman Dani Drayer, who scored the last four points of the first half, got the second half started in a positive way with a field goal on a nice assist from Taylor Hilverding to cut the lead to 30-25.
Clapper's short jumper increased the lead back to seven, but baskets by Chelsey Paxton and Hannah Dailey, both coming on assists from senior Brooke Drayer, closed the lead to three.
The Wildcats forced seven Catholic turnovers in both the second and third quarters and Brooke Drayer scored a transition bucket to trim the lead to a single point at 32-31.
With just over four minutes to play, Clapper connected on a pair of free-throws before Dani Drayer's three-ball was gold to tie things up at 34-34.
The Cats took their first lead since the opening score of the game when Porter scored another inside field goal and when Paxton grabbed a rebound and put it back in, the Wildcats had a 38-34 lead with under three minutes to play in the third.
In a matter of about nine minutes the Wildcats managed to outscore Newark Catholic by a 24-5 margin.
"I have got a gutty group of kids and I can't be upset with their effort," said Close of his girls rally. "They fought very hard to get back in the game."
Catholic got a huge three-pointer from Ashleigh Parkinson to trim the lead to one and after Brooke Drayer's steal and ensuing bucket, NC closed out the third quarter with four points from Wollenburg to recapture the lead by a single point heading to the final period.
The Lady Wave connected on 19-of-27 free throw attempts in the game, while Waterford managed to make 7-of-12 attempts, a statistic that would haunt the Cats in the final period.
Jill Blacksten, who was nine-for-11 from the charity stripe in the game hit four consecutive free- throws in the final quarter, the latter giving NC a 46-44 lead with just under two minutes to play in the game.
After the Wildcats missed on an attempt to tie the game on their next possession, Wollenburg found a wide open Caitlin Andrews for an easy layup and a four-point lead with a little over a minute to go.
A pair of freebies by Andrews increased the lead to six with 39 seconds to play but the Wildcats had one last run left.
Brooke Drayer hit Paxton for a quick score and after a rare miss at the free-throw line by Wollenburg, Porter's rebound and scored closed the lead to 50-48 with 12 ticks left on the clock.
Waterford was forced to foul immediately and this time Wollenburg made good on both attempts to make it a two possession game and ultimately send her team to the regional final on Saturday.
A last second basket by Paxton proved to be too little, too late for Waterford as its dramatic comeback attempt fell by the wayside.
"We had some opportunities and missed some bunnies and some free throws," Close said. "We put forth a great effort, we just came up a little bit short."
Wollenburg led all scorers with 18 points, while Blacksten added 15 for Newark Catholic.
The undersized Wildcats out rebounded Catholic by a 26-18 margin as Porter snared a game-high 11 boards.
Dani Drayer led a balanced scoring attack for Waterford with 11 points, while sister Brooke added 10, and Porter and Paxton chipped in with nine and eight markers, respectively.
Newark Catholic (24-2) will now move on to battle Reedsville Eastern Saturday in the regional championship game, while the Wildcat season comes to a heart breaking end with a 19-7 record.
The loss brought to a close the very successful careers of the three seniors on the Waterford roster, Brooke Drayer, Paxton, and Hannah Offenberger.
"You always hate this time of year for your seniors," said Close. "But what a great group of girls that accomplished a whole lot these past four years."

This week, all the attention's going the big-boy versions of Modern Warfare 3. But there's a DS game, too. This version exists only as part of Activision's strategy to carpet-bomb their games onto every platform possible. The hook to get folks to buy it is that it bridges the story gap between Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. And, yes, it's a T-for-Teen COD game, one that Activision can dangle in front unsuspecting, M-for-Mature phobic parents this holiday season. Was it worth the effort? We're gut-checking this one... defiantly.
Evan Narcisse, who swore he had a DSi XL around here somewhere:
I wish I had an answer why was Defiance built for a last-gen portable. At least if it was on the 3DS, you could see how the #1 FPS brand in the world looks on Nintendo's most advanced hardware. Instead, you get a heavily pixelated gameworld that looks at times like it's being viewed through a Vaseline-smeared lens. Defiance sports extremely clunky controls that have your fingers jumping from face buttons to shoulder buttons to touchscreen at first. Even once I settled into the controls, they never felt comfortable to me. And, then, the gameplay proved to be crushingly formulaic, where you go from point to point, wait for enemies to spawn and lather/rinse/repeat.
Yes, there's multiplayer for up to six people, a decent arsenal and more recorded voicework than you'd expect. But you can get far better than what Defiance delivers in most middling iOS FPSes. Too little of what you experience from a COD console or PC game—the quasi-realism, big set pieces, the silky smooth animation—shows up here. It's a Call of Duty game in name only. No.

Some kind of tax is the answer most city leaders seem to prefer.
"I'm not sure we can do it without some kind of tax increase, but I'm just a police chief not a city manager," said Burton.
"We don't have money laying around," Matthes said. "I know some people think there is [money] when they read the budget."
Not all of the police department research turned out negative. Of the six surveyed cities, Columbia's crime rate is the third-lowest, with 476 violent crimes in 2012.
"That's why when one extra murder happens, we freak out, we get worried about it, right, and that's good, that's why we like to live here," Matthes said. "I'd hate to live in a town where that's not a concern."
Chief Burton said his 160 officers responded to more than 72,000 calls for service in 2012. Each one of those calls takes up to 50 minutes on average.
Also, the problems facing Columbia leaders are happening across the country. In Gainesville, Fla., -- one of the cities ABC 17 News surveyed -- officers say pension cuts are making it difficult to hire quality officers.
In Norman, city leaders have a little more than a year before they have to renew a police sales tax.
Burton told ABC 17 News he is looking at ways to better use the officers he already has.
One idea is to bring in civilians for crime scene investigation and public information roles. Another plan already in the works is moving minor property crime reporting to an online form.

The Sheriff's Office was called to conduct a welfare check on the children, ages 2 and 7, at Empire Tattoo, 5024 14th St. W., Bradenton. The report says the children were living with their father inside the business, where investigators found "numerous" used syringes and other drug paraphernalia on the floor and strewn about inside within easy reach of the children.
The children's father had left a few minutes earlier, the report says, and he left the two in the care of Rick Rowland, 39, who is an employee.
Rowland was arrested for child neglect. No other details have been released.

By Magic Maria

The look of the poster was better than expected - I didn't think that you'd be able to see so much detail especially with the brush/pencil strokes. Only problem is I got carried away with the size and it's pretty huge but as some say... bigger is better!!!

Very happy with the purchase. I especially like the shade of red which is what I was looking for and it was exactly as I imagined. [...] The use of plastic rather than glass in the frame took a little getting used to but up on the wall you dont notice the difference.

Tuesday, Montrose County kicked off a week long celebration to commemorate the county's 125th anniversary.
Take a walk around Montrose County today and it's hard to ignore the massive growth and booming economy in the area.
Take a walk around Montrose County 125 years ago and it was anything but.
According to the Montrose County Historical Society, Montrose, or Pamona as it was called back then, was a small town with a few scattered farms and several gold, silver, and coal mines in the higher elevations. Historians say in 1882, a railroad was built right near today's Main Street, and from there the town took off.
"Freighting was the big industry at that time," said Zilla Mae Brown, President of the Montrose County Historical Society.
Historians say after that the town continued to expand, with agriculture as its defining characteristic. Then in 1883, the area became Montrose County.
"We need to recognize and protect this area, and enjoy and celebrate it," said Brown.
That's just what county officials and residents will be doing this week.
Dressed in 1880s garb and riding in on an authentic stage coach, the Montrose County Commissioners, other county officials, and residents came together to celebrate the county's past and future.
"We're in the midst of change, we're becoming more urbanized," said Montrose County Commissioner Gary Ellis. "But you know, we still hang on to our rural and agricultural roots."
Tuesday night, county officials and residents posed for a picture on the steps of the Old Montrose County Courthouse. And that's just the beginning. The festivities will continue for the next three days and will culminate with the County Fair and parade.
"There's a lot of good activities and a lot of good things happening," said Ellis. "People should come down enjoy them with us."
Officials say Montrose County has made huge strides since 1883, and they can only imagine what lies ahead in the 125 years.
"One-hundred twenty-five years from now, I can't imagine what life would be like," said Ellis.
Below is a schedule of the week's events:
Wed, July 16, 2008
Montrose Regional Airport, 6pm
A presentation on "Aviation on the Western Slope," Airport tour, aircraft and antique vehicles exhibit, music and light snacks
Thurs, July 17, 2008

@thalantas high virtual memory usage for a garbage collected application is normal, the real memory is what you should look at.
Am I the only one using the snow leopard version that feel like this app is eating way too much virtual memory ? (more than 300Mo).
1.3b1 works in Leopard :) Hooray.
Unfortunately the fix only restores notification -- the ability to delete an incoming e-mail from the notification screen doesn't work....that was a key feature for me. I wish I hadn't upgraded to Leopard -- its 300 so-called features don't make up for the loss of Mail.appetizer. I'm not joking.
I got the fix gribskov talked about to work. Just follow those directions exactly!
Tips from the web :
A workaround was posted to the Mail.appetizer mailing list to use it under 10.5 :
1. Ensure that Mail.app is not running.
2. Launch Terminal and enter these two commands:
defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3
3. Move the Mail.appetizer bundle from the folder ~/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) back to ~/Library/Mail/Bundles.
4. Launch Mail.app -- all should be well again.
Don't work for me, have you try this ?
Not compatible with leopard unfortunately.
I was considering using Mail Badger, but found this tool to be much nicer. Plus, it doesn't ask for administrative access to install. :)
I pray that the author updates Mail.appetizer for Leopard when it's launched. It's at the top of my "must have" list.
So ... perfect. If it were to fade in, it would be MORE perfect, but this plugin is already superb, makes me proud to own a mac!

3 hurt in Port Charlotte car crash
Published: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 5:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 5:56 a.m.
One person was critically injured and two other seriously hurt after a car crossed through a grass median and into the path of an oncoming vehicle late Sunday in Port Charlotte, authorities said.
Unica A. Desir, 19, of Port Charlotte, the driver of the car that crossed the median, was taken to Lee Medical Center for treatment of his injuries after the accident, which occurred shortly before 9 p.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He was listed in critical condition.
Two others in the second vehicle in the crash were seriously injured: Jason G. Bosley, 38, of Port Charlotte, and Joddi K. Edwards, 43, of Englewood. Bosley was transported to Peace River Regional Medical Center and Edwards to Lee Medical Center.
According to reports, Desir was driving a 2005 Honda Accord east on Veterans Boulevard near Theresa Boulevard in Port Charlotte when, for reasons unknown, the vehicle traveled into and through the roadway's median and then into the westbound lanes.
Desir's Civic was then struck on the passenger side by a westbound 1994 Jeep Wrangler, driven by Bosley.
Desir has been charged with failure to use due care. Alcohol was not a factor, according to troopers.

they're buckling down on journalism, starting with sports
ROSWELL, N.M. (July 7) - The sports editor of the Roswell Daily Record has been fired for fabricating part of a news story about a golf tournament in which he quoted a fictional character from the movie ``Caddyshack.''
Gregory M. Jones was dismissed by the Daily Record on June 17, the day after his article about a Father's Day golf tournament at the Roswell Country Club appeared on the sports page, Editor Mike Bush said.
``He got a bunch of scores and wanted to make it more interesting,'' Bush said Thursday. He said he did not know if Jones attended the tournament.
He said the newspaper insists on accuracy and objectivity and ``we don't tolerate anything less than that.''
Jones, 24, said he was shocked by his firing and did not intend to deceive his editors or readers.
``It was tongue-in-cheek. It was sports. I was trying to be light and breezy. I was trying to put out a story that people might like to read,'' he said in a telephone interview.
Jones was hired in July 2002 as a reporter, was promoted to state-business editor in November and became sports editor in April.
Bush said the story contained three fictitious paragraphs referring to a Carl Spangler who claimed to work at the course. In ``Caddyshack,'' Bill Murray played a golf course worker named Carl Spackler.
Jones quoted Spangler as saying he invented a new kind of grass for the tournament. The quotation in Jones' story is taken directly from ``Caddyshack'':
``'This is a hybrid ... of bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bent and northern California sensemilia (sic),' Spangler said. 'The amazing stuff about this, is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on the stuff.'''
Bush said the Daily Record received ``a couple of complaints'' about the story. The newspaper ran a correction.

It's kind of funny that our apathetic White House press core can get by lobbing scripted softball questions to George Bush and Ari Fleischer...no one says a single word about it...not even when the Bush administration fabricates evidence to go to war...but let a sports writer fabricate a story and heads will roll.

Fallen soldier returns home Monday
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 5:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 5:01 p.m.
Arrangements have been made to return fallen Army Sgt. Channing "Bo" Hicks to his native Greer for burial.
Dennis Hicks said his nephew's body will be flown to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport early Monday afternoon, some time between noon and 2 p.m. From there a procession will go to Wood Mortuary in Greer.
Hicks, 24, and Spc. Joseph A. Richardson of Booneville, Ark., 23, died Nov. 16 in Paktika province, Afghanistan, when enemy forces attacked their unit with an improvised explosive device and small arms fire, according to Department of Defense. The soldiers were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, at Fort Riley, Kan.
Visitation is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, and a memorial service will follow on Wednesday at 2 p.m. Both will take place at Fairview Baptist Church in Greer. Burial, with military honors, will follow the memorial service at Wood Memorial Park in Duncan.
Dennis Hicks said on Friday that anyone wanting to pay respects to his nephew is welcome to attend the services.
"The more people who want to honor Bo — we would be proud of that," he said. "...Bo needs to be honored."

SAN JOSE -- Melanie Borrelli was home for the weekend, enjoying the annual festival at her old school, when she saw something that alarmed her. It was a familiar face connected with a horrible rumor.
The 19-year-old college sophomore recognized the man working a sound booth as Mark Gurries, who -- she had heard -- had been convicted of molesting a girl she knew. Borrelli took out her smartphone, Googled his name and found his mug shot on the Megan's Law website.
She couldn't believe it. Here was a registered sex offender working at a parish festival with hundreds of children around, including Borrelli's two younger sisters. Melanie Borrelli found her mom.
"What is he doing here?" ¿she asked her mom, pointing at Gurries and showing her the mug shot.
Parents in the Saint Frances Cabrini Catholic Parish are still waiting for answers to that question first posed Oct. 6 by Melanie Borrelli, a former student at the parish's Catholic elementary school in San Jose. She and others were even more incredulous that night when, they said, parish priest Father Lieu Vu told them Gurries -- convicted in 2010 of molesting a young relative -- had a right to be there. In fact, he possessed a letter from the church giving him explicit permission to be a volunteer.
In a religious community that, like others around the country, still struggles with the Catholic Church's legacy of priest sex abuse scandals and criticism over cover-ups, the incident quickly found powerful resonance.
"You think the Catholic Church would have learned," said John Borelli, Melanie's father.
On Thursday, the Diocese of San Jose released a statement saying the letter -- which has not been made public -- was not consistent with its policies and Gurries was no longer a volunteer. But the diocese has not yet answered the community's bigger questions: why was a registered sex offender allowed on campus, who wrote the letter and why hasn't the church been more forthcoming with information?
But a letter emailed by the school's principal dated Thursday said "no written permission for this volunteer was given or would have been given by the school." The letter did not address whether the diocese might have done so.
In interviews with this newspaper, Melanie Borrelli, her father John Borrelli, and two other parents who spoke on condition of anonymity recalled the chaos and anger on the night of Oct. 6 over Gurries' presence at the annual parish festival. They say it took about five hours and the involvement of a Santa Clara County Sheriff's deputy working the event as security to get Gurries to voluntarily leave school grounds.
"Common sense told us there is no reason for him to be around children in that type of atmosphere," one of the parents working a booth with the Borrellis said.
It was late afternoon on the day of the festival when Melanie Borrelli first spotted Gurries working in the sound system booth located next to the stage.
Once she verified Gurries was a sex offender, she went to her parents.
Her mom and dad, along with other parents working in the margarita and coffee booth, sprang into action. Some of the adults went to Vu, the parish priest, telling him to ask Gurries to leave.
But they said Vu replied Gurries had a right to be at the festival. He told the parents Gurries had a letter giving him permission to be there and that they needed to forgive, according to the Borrellis and other parents interviewed.
"How do you stick up for a pedophile?" Melanie Borrelli asked.
Vu did not return a message seeking comment. A spokesperson for the diocese did not immediately return phone calls or emails seeking comment. Gurries also could not be reached for comment.
The California Penal Code states registered sex offenders may be allowed on school grounds if they have written permission from the chief administrative official of that school. Without such permission, a registered sex offender can be convicted of a misdemeanor for being on school grounds.
Melanie Borrelli said that night she pleaded with Vu to ask Gurries to leave.
"It was very chaotic," said one parent who was working the booth with the Borrellis. "There was a lot of yelling, a lot of raised voices. Parents were upset. Father said he (Gurries) was going to be watched."
At one point, the parents said, festival officials asked the sheriff's deputy to escort John Borrelli off campus, claiming he was drunk and causing a scene. John Borrelli said he was not drinking at the festival.
Five hours after Melanie Borrelli spotted Gurries, the deputy sheriff asked the registered sex offender to leave. A sheriff's spokesman this week said the deputy did so "out of an abundance of caution."
In the weeks since the festival, John Borrelli and other parents said they repeatedly sent emails and made phone calls to school officials seeking answers. But they didn't get any.
The first official response came Thursday when the Diocese of San Jose issued a brief statement saying Gurries was no longer a volunteer. The statement stated "The letter, by which he was able to be admitted as a volunteer, is not consistent with the policies of the Diocese of San Jose."
The diocese said more answers will be forthcoming after an internal inquiry is completed.
One parent, who spoke anonymously, called the response by the diocese "an absolute joke."
John Borrelli, whose four daughters have attended Saint Frances Cabrini, including two who are still enrolled, said all parents are asking for is the truth.
Melanie Borrelli said the entire incident has her rethinking her faith and questioning those in charge at the diocese.
"How can you be so lackadaisical about molestation, but a kid can't forget their homework?" Melanie Borrelli said, referring to strict school rules. "What kind of lesson is that? You can molest a child and come back."

CORPUS CHRISTI – The nationally ranked Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team, ranked No. 58 among all teams nationally in the NCAA Division I rankings, clinched the program's sixth straight Southland Conference Championship on Thursday afternoon, taking a a 6-0 final over Lamar.
Attorney Steve McMains generously sponsored the match for the Islanders (14-7, 4-0 Southland) against the Cardinals (4-16, 2-3 Southland) at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
"We're very grateful to attorney Steve McMains for his generosity," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "Steve has been a great friend for a long time, and is a tremendous advocate for tennis in Corpus Christi. We're very grateful for his support."
With the team now 4-0 in Southland Conference matches, they are 34-2 since Moore returned to The Island as Director of Tennis, including undefeated conference schedules in 2008, 2009 and 2011. The Islanders will go for their fourth undefeated Southland slate in six seasons against Texas – Pan American this coming Saturday on Senior Day.
The teams also dealt with a rain delay, with weather pushing back the start time to 3:30 p.m. from the original scheduled time of 2 p.m.
Doubles were not necessary due to the Southland Conference Tournament seeding being set, so the two teams started singles play first, with doubles only being played if necessary.
They were not, however, as the Islanders played well on all courts and won all five matches played in two sets. The No. 6 singles match was defaulted to Pietro Jordao to put the team up 1-0 before the first serve.
"This was a very focused effort today," said Moore. "I thought the guys did a good job of the things they could control during the rain delay and made a good statement with their energy in the beginning. There are a lot of things we need to get better at in a short period of time before the conference tournament, so this is a very focused and motivated group right now with a lot of work to do."
Singles scoring started when Matt Westmoreland won 6-1, 6-1 at the No. 3 position to make it 2-0.
"It's always a team effort, but if I thought one guy stood out today, it was Matt Westmoreland," said Moore. "He really is making a statement at the beginning with his footwork and commitment to play his style."
Less than two minutes later, Javier Pujol clinched his match by a 6-0, 6-0 final at the No. 5 position to make it 3-0. Peter Nagy closed things out shortly after, winning 6-1, 6-2 at No. 1 singles to give the Islanders the championship and the No. 1 seed heading into next week at the Southland Conference Tournament.
Ricardo Mayagoitia won 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4 to make it 5-0, and Gergo Weidinger closed it out with his 6-2, 6-4 final at No. 2 singles.
Next up for the Islanders will be the final regular season match of the season at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. It will be Senior Day for Andrew Maingot and Gergo Weidinger, with the two seniors being recognized for their contributions to the Islanders Tennis program over their careers.

- Apr 27:
- NBA players association seeks maximum sanctions against Sterling
- Thompson: Stephen Curry is back in the series
- Clippers unified in protest of Sterling, but fall apart on court
- Amid Donald Sterling furor, Warriors rout Clippers
- Warriors starting Draymond Green over Jermaine O'Neal
- Kawakami: Warriors' Joe Lacob discusses Donald Sterling controversy
OAKLAND -- The Warriors-Clippers series turned into a human rights discussion and protest then back into playoff competition on Sunday.
Not quite smoothly. Not calmly. Certainly not successfully or comfortably for the Clippers players and coaches.
But the end result was something the Warriors, at least, could be proud of: A powerful and emotional 118-97 victory at thunderous Oracle Arena.
It was the Warriors' best game of the series, and it evened this series at 2-2, with Game 5 set for Los Angeles' Staples Center on Tuesday.
The eyes of the world will follow, but not because of anything the Warriors did or will do.
This is all about the controversy involving purported racist comments by Clippers owner Donald Sterling -- released late Friday -- and the presidential response and the international furor and demands for investigations and penalties. ...
After all that, well, who can say what will happen next?
In the locker room after Game 4, I asked Warriors veteran Jermaine O'Neal if he has any feel for this series yet.
"No, no, no," O'Neal said with a slow and weary head shake. "There's so many side things going on."
More things than are dreamt of in anybody's philosophy or playoff plans, I'd say.
The Warriors deserved to celebrate this performance because they played wonderfully and because the lineup adjustments made by coach Mark Jackson worked perfectly.
With concurrence from O'Neal, Jackson took him out of the starting lineup in favor of Draymond Green.
Together, Green and David Lee kept the ball moving, ran the court and generally made the Clippers' big men look sludgy.
That finally opened space this series for Stephen Curry, who made his first five 3-pointers on Sunday, all in the first quarter, and the sprint was on.
"We played with a sense of urgency," Jackson said, "and I think our superstar basketball player was special."
Also: The Warriors deserved to celebrate this because the Warriors can't control what the opponent's owner thinks or says.
This matter will be decided by NBA commissioner Adam Silver and the 29 other owners, possibly very swiftly, maybe even before the start of Game 5.
But the dark cloud hung over Game 4, over everybody involved, and there was no denying that.
"Feel bad for every single player in the NBA," Warriors forward Andre Iguodala said. "It's just not the Clippers."
After getting walloped by the Clippers' front line in Game 3, the Warriors did everything they had to Sunday.
They started fast and jumped to a 39-24 lead at the end of the first quarter, mostly thanks to Curry (and the Clippers' much slower defensive coverage).
They got a tremendous all-around game from Iguodala (22 points, nine assists, four rebounds), who had been mostly quiet previously in this series.
And the Warriors kept slugging at the Clippers through the Clippers' lulls and even when the Clippers narrowed the deficit to 96-87 early in the fourth quarter.
If they can take this momentum into the rest of the series, everything is changed. But with this series, and these outside events, who knows?
"I guarantee they were prepared to play -- guarantee you," O'Neal said of the Clippers.
"A lot has to do with what we did to them -- picking up the pace, flying around, playing defense, quick offense. ...
"We're not going to allow (anyone) to say that's the reason why we won and they lost. That's crazy."
Still, it's very, very, very, very possible that the Clippers, who looked so strong winning Games 2 and 3, were reeling as they started this game.
On Sunday, the Clippers players deliberately turned their warmup shirts inside out so the "Clippers" insignia wasn't visible, and they wore black arm bands and black socks.
Over the last few days, the players even discussed the possibility of boycotting this game before rejecting the idea.
Would the Clippers have succumbed to the Warriors' energy, speed and dead-eye shooting no matter what in Game 4? Maybe. Probably.
But the Clippers had no chance under this kind of scrutiny and while realizing their owner was probably that kind of man.
And they have Game 5 to deal with, then Game 6 at Oracle Arena, and an entire unknown future as Sterling's employees.
"I'm not going to deny that we had other stuff," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said afterward. "Listen, I just believe when the game starts, the game starts, and nobody cares anymore. Golden State surely didn't care. ...
"We're going home now. And usually that would mean we're going to our safe haven. And I don't even know if that's true, to be honest."
Nobody knows anything with this series, because this is unprecedented, and because you can't plot out guaranteed human responses to human repugnance.
There is no map or formula. The Warriors will just show up, the Clippers will too, and may the least distracted, most focused team win.

About the Book
Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death reveals that death is not a moment in time. Death, rather, is a process—a process that can be interrupted well after it has begun. Innovative techniques have proven to be effective in revitalizing both the body and mind, but they are only employed in approximately half of the hospitals throughout the United States and Europe.
Dr. Sam Parnia, Director of the AWARE Study (AWAreness during REsuscitation) and one of the world's leading experts on the scientific study of death and near-death experiences (NDE), presents cutting-edge research from the front lines of critical care and resuscitation medicine while also shedding light on the ultimate mystery: What happens to human consciousness during and after death? Dr. Parnia reveals how some form of "afterlife" may be uniquely ours, as evidenced by the continuation of the human mind and psyche after the brain stops functioning.
With physicians such as Dr. Parnia at the forefront, we are on the verge of discovering a new universal science of consciousness that reveals the nature of mind and a future where death is not the final defeat, but is, in fact, reversible.
Contrary to popular belief, death isnot a moment in time, such as whenthe heart stops beating, respirationceases, or the brain stops functioning. Death,rather, is a process—a process that can beinterrupted well after it has begun. Innovativetechniques, such as drastically reducing thepatient's body temperature, have proven to beeffective in revitalizing both the body andmind, but studies show they are only employedin approximately half of the hospitalsthroughout the United States and Europe.
In Erasing Death, Dr. Sam Parnia presentscutting-edge research from the front line ofcritical care and resuscitation medicine thathas enabled modern doctors to routinelyreverse death, while also shedding light onthe ultimate mystery: what happens to humanconsciousness during and after death. Parniareveals how medical discoveries focused onsaving lives have also inadvertently raised thepossibility that some form of "afterlife" maybe uniquely ours, as evidenced by the continuationof the human mind and psyche in thefirst few hours after death. Questions aboutthe "self" and the "soul" that were oncerelegated to theology, philosophy, or evenscience fiction are now being examined afreshaccording to rigorous scientific research.
With physicians such as Parnia at the forefront,we are on the verge of discovering a new universalscience of consciousness that reveals thenature of the mind and a future where death isnot the final defeat, but is in fact reversible.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A fascinating discussion that addresses medical, moral and social issues and their implications for understanding consciousness, self-awareness and the soul." — —Kirkus
"What happens when we die, and what lies beyond death's door, are among human-kind's most enduring questions. Erasing Death offers groundbreaking new insights into these vital questions. You won't want to miss out on this outstanding and highly recommended book." — —Jeffrey Long, M.D., author of the New York Times bestselling Evidence of the Afterlife
"Parnia convincingly argues that death is a dynamic biological process that only begins once the heart stops beating. Modern medicine and technology have now made it feasible for consciousness to persist in the dying brain—and come back to life." — —Stephan A. Mayer, M.D., professor of neurology and neurological surgery at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
"Based on his studies on 'near-death experiences' (or even better 'actual-death experiences'), Parnia gives convincing arguments that there is a continuation of consciousness after physical death and that we have to reconsider our current definition of death. An important and highly recommended book." — —Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, NDE researcher, and author of Consciousness Beyond Life
"A fascinating and informative book, written by this cutting-edge researcher on the forefront of resuscitation. Erasing Death may change the way we practice medicine." — —Tom P. Auferheide, M.D., FACEP, FACC, FAHA, professor of emergency medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin
"Erasing Death is a solidly researched and carefully presented story that will astound readers and make them rethink what we believe about the border between life and death." — -Bruce Greyson, M.D., Carlson Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Viginia Health System
"Parnia has captured the miracle of life… The public should learn from these compelling stories." — —Robert E. O'Connor, M.D., MPH,professor and chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Universityof Virginia School of Medicine
"Parnia has the extraordinary ability to communicate these complex concepts in a way that readers will understand. The result is a piece of work that is both stimulating and highly informative." — —Jerry Nolan, M.D., consultant in anesthesia and intensive caremedicine at the Royal United Hospital, Bath, UK, and editor-in-chief of Resuscitation
"Parnia demonstrates that consciousness can persist after the disappearance of any outward sign of brain activity... His story gives hope for future improvements." — —Graham Nichol, M.D., MPH, FRCP(C),director of the University of Washington–Harborview Center for Prehospital Emergency Care in Seattle, Washington
"[Parnia] helps bring people back from the dead—and some return with stories. Their tales could help save lives, and even challenge traditional scientific ideas about the nature of consciousness." — Wired

Re: "The wrong way to affect gun reform," by Morgan Liddick, column, Jan. 29
Morgan Liddick claims that he agrees with some of President Obama's proposals to end gun violence (such as outlawing "hundred round magazines"), but is opposed to enacting them into law because he doesn't trust the President. This is an awful lot like me as a non-Christian agreeing with some Biblical proposals (such as "Thou shalt not kill"), but opposing enacting them into law because I don't trust the Bible. It is exactly this kind of nonsensical posturing by conservatives that has led to the absolute stalemate and gridlock in our government over the last decade. Thanks to Mr. Liddick for providing us with the perfect example to point to.

All great apes—gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos—are endangered. The United Nations estimates that there are only 450,000 great apes left.
Threats to their survival include the expansion of human population, bushmeat poaching, and uncontrolled logging.
Many other primates, who are losing their habitat to humans, are also endangered. Fortunately, there are international and national organizations, laws, and guidelines intended to protect primates.
Primates found in zoos may also face risks, such as inbreeding and demographic instability, and are managed cooperatively.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Sept. 28, 2012
WARRENTON, Ga. -- It was a special handshake, huddle and prayer. Bulldogs and Screaming Devils were side by side and hand in hand.
In the middle was Marleau Blount, an assistant coach with the Hancock Central football. He once worked in Warren County, too.
"It was long overdue. I think we probably could have done it the very next day after the incident happened and both of these communities would have gone about their business -- the business of healing," he said of the two-team huddle.
Coach Blount says it was the adults who kept the conflict alive.
"And to go as far as that the communities were divided, it was just the furthest thing from the truth," Blount said.
Marleau says he's learned a lesson, too. He was the Hancock coach who allegedly sent inappropriate threat-like messages to Warren County players after last year's brawl.
"It's character building for me. It let me know a lot of stuff professionally. It let me know never let your guard down, and, you know, always keep a professional stature about yourself," he said.
While Blount says all wounds are healed, Warren County Superintendent Carole Jean Carey doesn't share that opinion.
"I would not say it's complete, but I would say it's a step in the right direction," she said.
The safety precautions were a little different Friday night. Officers lined nearly all sides of the field. Hancock fans sat on one side and Warren County fans on the other. Hancock buses parked right next to their bleachers, too.
"[It] just seems to be a great night for football here in Warren County. Our security force is out in full. They're very visible, and they're active," Carey said.
Injured Warren County Coach David Daniel was not at the game Friday night. Carey says he's still at home healing, and his doctor advised against him going to the game. At the start of the season, Daniel retired from his role as head coach to focus on healing physically and mentally.
Carey says next step is basketball season, and she says there'll be similar safety measures then, too.

Heart Disease Health Center
Dietary Fats Q&A
March 20, 2014 -- Saturated fats have long been called ''bad fats'' for their effect on the heart. But a new analysis calls into question whether they're really that bad after all.
The findings, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, have sparked renewed debate about fats and heart health.
The new study should trigger a review of current diet guidelines for heart health, according to the researchers who did the analysis. Other experts, including one from the American Heart Association, disagree.
There is some common ground. All agree that dietary fat is just one factor that drives heart disease risk. Paying attention to the other factors is also important.
WebMD asked a study co-author, a cardiologist, a nutrition expert, and the American Heart Association to elaborate.
What did the analysis look at and find?
Researchers looked at 72 published studies on fats and heart disease. The studies involved more than 600,000 people from 18 countries. Some people already had heart disease, while others did not. The researchers reanalyzed the results, an approach called a meta-analysis.
They looked at whether different fats helped or hurt your heart. The different fats included:
- Saturated fats (found in meats, whole-fat dairy products, and baked goods)
- Polyunsaturated fats, such as omega-3 and omega-6 (found in fish, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils)
- Monounsaturated fats (found in olive and canola oils)
- Trans fats (found in fried foods and baked goods, and being phased out of the food supply)
The surprise? Saturated fats, long thought to raise heart disease risks, had no effect. Neither did monounsaturated fats, which are thought to help the heart, says study researcher Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, at the Harvard School of Public Health.
Which fats did have an effect? Trans fats, known to raise bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol, were linked with a higher risk of heart disease, as expected. Omega-3s from food helped. Omega-6s appeared to help.
