SAN JOSE -- SunPower (SPWRA), Silicon Valley's dominant solar panel manufacturer, reported a larger-than-expected third-quarter loss due to continued weakness in Germany and Italy, the company's largest European markets.
SunPower posted a loss of $48.5 million, or 41 cents a share, compared with a loss of $370.8 million, or $3.77 a share, a year earlier. Analysts had expected a loss of 21 cents a share, according to an average compiled by Bloomberg.
The company had revenue of $607 million, compared with $651 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Solar panel manufacturers in the United States and China have been hammered for several quarters by a glut of inventory that has driven down prices, thanks in large part to softening demand in Germany and other parts of Europe. A shakeout in the coming year is widely expected in the already turbulent industry.
"I'm still concerned about the pipeline of SunPower's power plant business," said Ramesh Misra, an analyst with National Securities. "Utility projects dwarf residential, and I never thought that SunPower wanted to be a purely residential player. They need to ramp up the utility business."
SunPower, which is majority-owned by French oil company Total, designs and manufactures high-efficiency solar cells and solar panels for residential, commercial and utility clients.
Investors were encouraged that SunPower slightly raised its 2012 guidance. The company expects year-end revenue to total $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion; previously, it had expected year-end revenue of $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion.
"You can only lose money for so long," CEO Tom Werner said in an interview. "We're positioned to be one of the winners. Total is extremely supportive and extremely strategic. They are anxious to see solar succeed."
During a conference call with investors, SunPower stressed that it is temporarily idling six of its 12 manufacturing lines in the Philippines in an effort to reduce inventory, and has laid off nearly 900 employees, most of them in the Philippines.
The company's stock, which closed at $4.56, was flat in after-hours trading.
SunPower continues to focus on its relatively new leasing program, which remains a bright spot for the company. Launched in 2011, the solar lease allows homeowners to put solar panels on their roofs for no money down. SunPower reported Thursday that they have now sold more than 13,000 residential leases.
The company is also focusing on Japan, which has seen renewed government support for solar in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
"Japan is going to be a great market because there's customer pull for our product," Werner said. "The Japanese customer is technologically savvy."
Earlier this week, SunPower dedicated the 25-megawatt McHenry Solar Plant in Modesto, which is generating power for Modesto Irrigation District customers.
One megawatt is enough to power about 750 to 1,000 homes. But because the sun doesn't shine all the time, solar industry experts typically use a conservative figure and say that 1 megawatt of solar power capacity is sufficient to power about 200 households.

MENLO PARK -- The headquarters of social media giant Facebook was temporarily flooded with officers and cordoned off Tuesday evening after a threat against the company was called in to authorities, Menlo Park police said, but the threat was quickly cleared.
The threat was originally called into the San Francisco Police Department around 7 p.m., said Menlo Park police Cmdr. Dave Bertini.
The department transferred the call to Menlo Park officers, who went to the campus and closed off the entrance with tape. Officers searched the campus, while the company asked its employees to stay put before police could prove or disprove the threat.
"At this point, we're not even sure the call was meant to be for the Menlo Park campus," Bertini said.
Officers did not find anything at the campus, and Facebook eventually shuttled its employees home.
Bertini added that he could not say what the threat was, only that it was proven to be "non-credible."
The company, founded in 2004, has more than 6,000 employees. Thousands of those workers report to the company's main campus at 1601 Willow Avenue, an address that was rechristened as "1 Hacker Way" after the company took over the old Sun Microsystems campus.
Last week, Menlo Park's city council voted last week to allow the company to pay about $200,000 a year to the city to fund a full-time police officer who would be stationed near the new campus.

Cycle of Abuse in Relationships
Abuse in relationships can follow a cyclical pattern. There are times when abusive behavior happens only once, but unfortunately this is not the case in most abusive relationships. Violent behavior typically repeats throughout the cycle. Keep in mind that not all of the victim/abuser behaviors listed below always occur; they are just some examples of commonly reported reactions.
Stage 1: Tension Building
The abuser may become edgy and start to react more negatively to frustrations. The tension may rise to a point where the abuser feels that he/she has lost control over the behavior/actions of the victim.
- Possible abuser reactions: moody; withdraws affection; criticizes and puts victim down; threatens; yells.
- Possible victim reactions: attempts to calm abuser; nurtures; withdraws from daily activities; feelings of walking on eggshells.
Stage 2: Acute Explosion
This is often the shortest of the stages because violence most always occurs at this point. The abuser may outwardly express more intense anger. Some victims become more emotionally detached because becoming emotional with the abuser could be more likely to trigger violence. It typically ends after a violent outburst by the abuser.
- Possible abuser reactions: physical violence like hitting, choking, slapping; sexual violence ranging from unwanted touching to forcible rape; emotional violence like humiliation, yelling, name calling, badgering; use of weapons.
- Possible victim reactions: attempts to protect self; calling police, family, or friends; tries to calm abuser; tries to reason with abuser; fights back; withdraws.
Stage 3: Honeymoon
This is typically a welcomed stage by both the abuser and the victim. The abuser usually expresses remorse for his/her actions and the victim starts to believe that the abuser can change and stop being abusive. This stage often continues until the abuser begins to feel confident again and starts to feel a loss of control over the victim's behavior. This stage has shown to decrease in length over time and has been shown to in some cases, disappear totally.
- Possible abuser reactions: promises to get help; asks for forgiveness; gets gifts for victim; promises love and devotion.
- Possible victim reactions: agrees to stay; sets up counseling; feels happy and hopeful.

'American Idol,' 'Hollywood Round, Part 1′: TV Recap
It's Hollywood week!
It's the boys tonight. We see some of them being woken up by parents to go to Hollywood to go for their dreams. We'll get Sudden Death and then Group Round. Some fun lyrical mess-ups add levity, otherwise it's just a long elimination.
Australian judge Keith Urban compares the show to "The Hunger Games," apparently missing the irony that "The Hunger Games" was inspired by competitive reality shows.
In Sudden Death they sing in lines of 10 and immediately are told their fates. The first ten come on. Micah Johnson, 24, who sang a bit of "Benny and the Jets," and four others, go forward. Nate Tal from Virginia goes through too, as does Gabe Brown from Iowa, and "the Turbanator," Gupreet Singh Sarin. Karl Skinner from Missouri gets sent home, as do Dustin Watts from Baton Rouge and Dr. Calvin Peters from Texas. Cortez Shaw from Dallas sings a bit of "I Will Always Love You" and the judges are split. Judge Randy Jackson says "You ain't Whitney." But he's going forward.
Curtis Finch from Missouri goes forward, and Frankie Ford from Brooklyn does too. Lazaro Arbos from Florida, who has such a bad stutter he can barely speak goes forward.. Trevor Blakney, Bryant Tadeo and Charles Allen all go forward. First Nikki torments Bryant by saying she's sending him home then teaches him never to say he's tired. Brian Rittenberry from Georgia sings for his wife who has battled cancer. The judges are not unanimous, but send him home.
Half of the contestants have now been eliminated, and the others have a difficult day ahead of them, with the dreaded Group Night. Those who survive the group round will go on to the solo round.
There's a twist: Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer, tells them that this year they are not forming their own groups but being assigned to them, and cannot change them. Honestly that seems like a good move, because it will force them to stretch. The groups have to choose a song from a list of 20 , and choreograph a routine, in one night, with the help of their vocal coach. And naturally, they don't all know and like the same songs.
At 6:35 we see them waking up again. Boy they must hate being filmed getting out of bed. The first group is †he Math Heads. They look and sound calm and strong and their harmonies are sweet. The judges ask them all to step forward but Gabe, and then ask him to step forward too– they all go through. That's Gabe Brown, Matheus Fernandes (the little guy), Nick Boddington, Mathenee Treco. The next group fares less well. Johnny Keyser, who chose the song, forgets the words to "I'll Be There," and Kareem Clark is wildly off key. Kareem goes home, but the others go through.
In the next trio, young Charlie was sick earlier but recovered in time to perform. Curtis Finch Jr. wasn't the most nurse-like, joking about how he'd help Charlie pack, but his voice cannot be denied. They all go through with no deliberation. Deservedly.
Micah Johnson's group does well. Zach Birnbaum and Cortez Shaw with their group The Dudes all go through too. The next group forgets the words, but we don't know what happens to them. The group after them also mangles the words to their song, and half go forward. The next group, B Side, including the Turbanator, also loses words to "Payphone" and they flash "daaa daaa" across the screen which a is hilarious. I could watch that all day. Although the judges hated what they did, they send them all through. Nikki shouts "my favorite group!" And she's kind of right, because they were fun.
Last Minute is next.They were all equally bad, Nikki says, and they all go home. The next group takes a risk and sings A cappella. They also sing "Payphone" but they do know the words. Three of them go forward.
The next group sings "Some Kind of Wonderful" (second group tonight) and do well with it. But two of them get sent home. Lazaro's group had trouble picking a song because Lazaro didn't know a lot of the music. They sing "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys. They all seem to mess up the line "when we can say goodnight and stay together" (probably because it doesn't make as much sense to teenagers for whom sex isn't just a pipe dream) but Keith says "close enough." Lazaro and one other go forward.
Country Queen sings the gorgeous "More Than Words" and immediately get some of the lyrics wrong. It's very painful. Urban tries to help them by singing too. Trevor is sent home, a pity because he had a good voice for that song. But he choked and didn't recover. Lee Pritchard goes home too.
The next group are all 18 and under. Kayden Stephenson, 16, looks 12 (he suffers from cystic fibrosis). Kayden and Kevin Quinn, who I thought was adorable and sang well, get sent home.The last group sounds very disjointed. Three go forward, but not Frankie. Mariah cries. Frankie's devastated, but vows to return. It's very bleak seeming him head off into the night.

If the judge now pondering whether Santa Clara County prosecutor Troy Benson committed misconduct can't figure out who's telling the truth, a closing argument filed by his lawyers offers her a way out of the problem.
But to believe it, State Bar Court Judge Patrice McElroy would have to conclude that a major, highly fortuitous coincidence occurred six years ago -- one that has never before been publicly suggested.
The new defense theory comes as McElroy weighs whether to dismiss the allegations against Benson or temporarily strip him of his right to practice law.
Benson was charged by the State Bar -- the agency that licenses California lawyers -- with five disciplinary counts: suppressing evidence, failure to comply with laws, incompetence, moral turpitude and misleading a judge.
The allegations, which Benson denies, stem from his prosecution of Augustin Uribe six years ago on charges he sexually molested a female relative, starting when she was 5.
Benson is accused of concealing a videotaped medical exam of the child in 2006 from defense attorney Al Lopez and then lying about it under oath. Benson claims he found the tape first, but Lopez claims he did.
Now, Benson's defense attorney is claiming the prosecutor just happened to discover the tape independently of Lopez -- days later.
After nearly two weeks of testimony last month, McElroy invited the attorneys to submit their closing briefs -- which they did last week. McElroy has 90 days from Nov. 5 to decide.
To help the attorneys shape their arguments, McElroy also announced her tentative findings. She dismissed the incompetence allegation and said she is leaning toward concluding that Benson is "not culpable" of misleading a judge. She also may find he suppressed evidence and failed to comply with laws. But she added that those charges are "duplicative," and she is likely to dismiss one of them.
McElroy is still undecided about what is arguably the most damaging allegation -- that Benson committed acts involving moral turpitude, or dishonesty.
The State Bar argued that Benson "constructed a dishonest narrative," in part to cover up that he was already aware the medical exams were being videotaped. Lopez contends that Benson concocted the story because he was concerned the State Bar was looking into whether he committed an ethical violation by withholding the tape.
A Santa Clara County judge in 2010 and an appellate court last year both found Benson engaged in "substantial misconduct." But the state Attorney General's Office concluded there wasn't enough evidence to find he committed perjury and that it was just as likely the defense attorney in the case was not telling the truth.
At the end of the State Bar Court trial, McElroy compared the welter of conflicting testimony about who discovered the videotape to the Akira Kurosawa film, "Rashomon,'' in which a crime witnessed by four individuals is described in four contradictory but plausible ways.
But in his brief, State Bar senior counsel Manuel Jimenez contends the only part of the film relevant to Benson's conduct is summed up in the quote, "Man just wants to forget the bad stuff and believe in the made-up good stuff. It's easier that way.''
Jimenez is asking the judge to suspend Benson for a career-killing two years and put him on probation for five.
Benson's defense attorney, Jonathan Arons, had a more classic take on the "Rashomon" analogy. Without commenting on it directly, he argued that all of the conflicting accounts of what happened six years ago can be easily reconciled.
"No one's account is entirely accurate and yet no one lied,'' Arons wrote. "It is a classic example of different people remembering the same series of events differently.''
Arons is seeking dismissal of the charges or at most an admonition.
In his brief, he contends for the first time that "each man most likely discovered the existence of the SART (Sexual Assault Response Team) videotape independently.''
In contrast, during the trial he largely attempted to paint Lopez as an unreliable, unethical defense lawyer who would stoop to anything to win a case.
But in the closing argument, Arons argues that it appears that Lopez learned of the videotape first on March 22, 2006, during a phone conversation with a medical expert, who asked him if he'd gotten the videotape in the case.
Then Benson independently -- and coincidentally -- learned of the video six days later on March 28 or 29 from his medical expert, Mary Ritter, during a debriefing about the Uribe trial, Arons contends.
However, Ritter testified in 2009 -- three years later -- that she didn't think that conversation took place; last month -- six years later -- she testified said she couldn't remember if it had.
Lopez has also suggested that Benson knew he had discovered the tape because they talked about it on the phone.
But Arons argues that Benson called Lopez to tell him about the tape, and Lopez did not mention he already knew of the tape's existence, "as was his right to do so.''
Arons contends that Lopez's reaction "justifiably'' left Benson with the impression he'd been the one to inform Lopez of the tape's existence.
"This impression undoubtedly solidified over the next two years and three months during which time the issue of who discovered the tape was never an issue,'' Arons argues.
However, Arons doesn't address why Benson didn't notice or object when Lopez asserted in his March 30 subpoena seeking the tape that he, Lopez, was the one who found it.

I understood that breaking changes shouldn't go into a point release, but as I dived into the code in the last couple of months I saw a lot's of possibility where the code quality can be improved, which wont add any new shine feature, just helps the poor grumpy developers - like me - to understand what's happening around. I know, lot's of other people have contributed to this project for a very long time, so I would like to know what others think about the project, and what plans do you have ? Because there are lot's of independent development happens around, in plugins, or in custom forks, it's not easy to see what feature do we like to implement, what goals we like to reach.
Currently I have the following list in my head, which are worth considering :
- modularization (or mavenization too)- I know there were some experimental forks where it's implemented. What were the conclusions ? Is there some opposition against ? I think it would be beneficial if we can separate into modules the 'plugin interfaces', the 'core' (which handles the configuration, media library, the folder hierarchy), the 'renderer/player', the 'http server', the 'Swing UI', the 'windows/linux/osx specific code', and the 'plugins'
- migration to a distributed version control system - I'm sure this would help the life of the contributors, and plugin developers. Easy forking and merging streamline the development.
- I consider very bad style, when a class has public instance variables, I would like to eliminate all.
- for me it seems that the DNLAResource contains too much functionality, after my refactorings it still nearly 1500 lines, and have ~30 instance variables. And it still contains code like if (this instanceof RealFile) ..., which is the very opposite what 'object orientation' and good practice should mean, for me, at least So I like to refactor the code, to have a much simpler ancestor objects, which only defines the basic functionalities (like getChildren / discoverChildren / searchByID / etc ), and the descendant objects can add custom functionalities, and not need to suppress inherited functionalities.
- some media library functionality I consider is essential - I would like to see pms-mlx code merged, especially I like it's nice UI for managing the media hierarchy
- I would like to have a full featured http interface for managing the server, it would help the headless installation too.
Any other ideas, plans ? And contributors to help implement these ?
I don't want to force anyone to work on my plan in the next decade Just I want to know, that the other devs think. If noone is interested to cooperate, I will implement which I see it absolutly minimum for my peace of mind

You may soon be able to buy alcohol on Sundays once again in Aiken.
Sales at convenience and grocery stores dried up in December, but South Carolina lawmakers may change that.
People voted to allow alcohol sales in restaurants several years back.
The state briefly included stores in that...and then changed its mind. But a bill going through the senate may soon bring the alcohol--and cash flow--back to businesses.
Serving alcohol on Sundays made the ballot several years back thanks to restaurant owner Sam Erb.
"That passed, it was a huge success, and the following Sunday, we were able to start serving," Erb says.
And a year later, stores could sell it.
"It was a lot of work to run the campaign and raise the money and be successful in the campaign, and then just let the convenience and grocery stores fall under our wing," says Erb.
But some questioned letting stores sell...and now, they're not allowed to. Convenience store worker Shafin Alan says he sold double the alcohol on Sundays, bringing in about $8,000 a month. The recent change caught him off guard.
"One week they come here and buy beer, the next week, they cannot. Yes, it's very confusing," Alan says.
It's also confusing for customers.
Permits to sell on Sunday costs stores $2,000. It's $3,000 for restaurants, but that money goes directly back to the city of Aiken.
This past year part of the forty seven thousand they brought in went toward renovating the community playhouse.
The historic Rye Patch House, where many choose to have wedding receptions, also benefited.
Tax dollars the stores bring in can also help the area.
Something Shafin Alan hopes he will bring in once again.
"We gonna get some business back," he says.
"Just because you can't buy alcohol on Sunday in parts of the state doesn't mean people aren't gonna drink," says Erb.
They may drink, but they can't buy unless the bill passes.
The bill passed the South Carolina house late last week. It's currently in the senate, and lawmakers expect a final decision in a few weeks.
In Aiken County, restaurants are allowed to serve alcohol seven days a week if they have a permit.

News 12 This Morning / Friday, Nov. 16, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It is a project that has been talked about for over 30 years and this week you have a chance to chime in. It's being touted as "a week of visioning" for the future of 15th Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Deans Bridge Road.
Right now the road is two lanes, but a DOT project will soon widen the road through TSPLOST. That will begin in 2016. It will make it four lanes, adding bike lanes and sidewalks that the area really needs, especially for people like Robert Ballard. He rides on the street down 15th in his wheelchair everyday.
"Everybody tells me get out of the street, get out of the street, but I gotta go where I gotta go," Ballard said.
The uneven sidewalks -- and in most places, lack of sidewalks -- make every trip he makes harder.
"It's not difficult, but it's dangerous," he said. "A lot of the parts don't have sidewalks, so I have to roll in the street."
With the plans to improve the 15th Street corridor, the road will be widened and fixed up.
"It really addresses a variety of issues," said John Paul Stout, sustainable development manager. "[It] makes it safer for people walking, makes it more desirable for people to move back in to the area or businesses to locate here, and it makes it much much safer for drivers as well."
The plan is beautification and safety for the corridor from 15th Street to MLK to Deans Bridge Road.
"[It's] a major gateway from south Augusta to downtown," Stout said. "This part of our area is vital for strengthening the entire city as a whole."
City planners are hosting what they're calling a "week of visioning" where anybody can come and voice their opinions.
"Everybody needs to come if they own property they need to come and look into it because it's going to help the whole area down here tremendously," said Emory Rabitsch, who owns property along MLK and attended the open house at the Augusta Mini Theater.
At the open house engineers, architects and planners worked on all aspects of the project.
"Our goal is to run a totally transparent project that everyone can take part in," Stout said.
They say it's important for people to see the project now, for them to get input from the public and find out what's best for the people in the area.
"Everyone's opinion is valid in this process," Stout said.
They will have a presentation of the week's results at T.W. Josey High School on Saturday at 10 a.m.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
Every Saturday, WETA hosts the Fall Movie Festival where we compile exciting, free, and commercial-free movies for you to enjoy in your Maryland, Virginia, and DC homes. Watch these compelling films and documentaries this Saturday November 3!
When words fail, actions speak…and in many cases, the latter can be more attention-grabbing and successful than any combination of words, even from the most eloquent of mouths. Sometimes action is unexpected and though we are not prepared for it, our instincts kick in and we handle each situation accordingly. Other times, it knocks us down repeatedly and we must try again and again, never giving up. Action usually works and though it's risky, when it pays off we cannot help but to revel in the chance we took. This Saturday night on WETA TV26 and HD, see firsthand examples of taking action in a perfect blend of films.
Taking physical action
Sometimes we feel stuck and an unexpected opportunity for action presents itself. This Saturday, Rocky, a struggling club boxer in Philadelphia supplements his passion and dream of becoming a big-time fighter by working as a debt collector. His talent is often doubted but former boxing trainer Mickey firmly believes Rocky could have succeeded had he worked harder. That knock at the invisible door arrives when the current world's heavyweight boxing champion, Apollo Creed, proposes the idea of providing a small-time and unknown boxer with the shot at his envied and prestigious title. Upon scoping out Philadelphia's boxers, Apollo selects Rocky. Hopes, dreams, and words soon turn into hard work, sweat, blood, tears and action as Rocky prepares for the match of a lifetime. Watch Rocky (1976) Saturday November 3 at 9:30pm on WETA TV26 or WETA HD.
Rocky will also air on WETA TV26 and WETA HD on Sunday November 4 at 11:30am.
Long-awaited action
Protecting the planet is a defining feature of the Native American culture. So it should come as no surprise that when faced with the environmentally-harmful consequences of a practice benefiting the pockets of wealthy corporations, Arizona Native American tribes directly affected swiftly took action. The story serving as the inspiration of Power Paths begins in the 1960s when two
coal mines opened on the Navajo and Hopi reservations in Arizona. The mines produced enough coal to supply the insatiable energy demands of Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles…but at a significant cost. Over the decades following the opening of the mines, the environment took a detrimental and irreversible hit as did local Native American tribes. The Southwestern skies were polluted, aquifers were drained, and sacred Native American land was scarred. Not to mention, Native Americans living on the reservations had no running water and no access to basic electricity. The health of the Navajo nation's people suffered also, and cases of cancers were common. Independent Lens: Power Paths follows a tribal coalition's modern day fight to alter their economies for the better by swapping coal mines and power plants with renewable energy technologies. Success in making the switch would preserve and protect their land, honor their culture, provide their reservation's homes with basic electricity and create necessary jobs in their own community. Power Paths serves as an example of the entire planet's current plight; finding alternatives to fossil fuels and going green. It may have taken decades but when action is finally taken, will it be all in vain or for the good of future generations? Watch Power Paths, November 3 at 11:30pm on WETA TV26 or WETA HD and see for yourself.
Watch a preview of Power Paths here!
Necessary action
They were sent to Iraq as cooks, clerks, and mechanics. Some were sent to provide supplies, and others logistical support, to the male troops. But when fighting unexpectedly broke out in the streets of Ramadi in April of 2004, those very women had no choice but to fight alongside their fellow soldiers. In fact, they were needed, and it did not seem to matter that they hadn't undergone combat training. After all, why would they be? The Department of Defense created a policy prohibiting women from ground combat. Despite this, since 2003, the United States military has been going against official policy and utilizing women in a variety of situations, from conducting house-to-house searches of Iraqis to fighting in some of the most violent and bloody battles to have taken place during the war.
Independent Lens: Lioness tells the story of five female U.S. Army soldiers who made history by becoming the first to be sent into direct combat. The group, members of "Team Lioness," served one year together in Iraq. Told through personal accounts, journal excerpts, archival footage and interviews, Lioness reveals what the media time and again neglected to inform America of; that women are an integral and necessary part of the military in all facets. The women's individual stories work in tandem to portray the effects of war from a female perspective. Watch Lioness Saturday November 3 at 12:30am on WETA TV26 and WETA HD.
In this scene of Lioness, the women are gathered together after returning from deployment and watch a documentary about the very battle they fought in. Surprisingly, they are purposefully edited out of any shots.

CAMPBELL -- A season that began with a new coach and two consecutive losses ended in unforgettable triumph for Los Gatos on Saturday night.
Behind new leader Mark Krail, hired in the winter after longtime coach Butch Cattolico retired, the Wildcats rallied in the second half to beat St. Francis 31-14 at Westmont High for the Central Coast Section Division II championship.
In a rematch of last season's Division II final, won by St. Francis, Los Gatos rode the arm of Nick Bawden, big plays from receivers Corey Olivet and Logan Chapman and Joey Wood's hard running to win its 14th section title -- one behind St. Francis.
"From 0-2 to CCS champions," Krail told his smiling players during the celebration. "You've got to go through struggles to enjoy the wins. I could not be more proud. I have been doing this an awful long time. There has never been a better feeling in 27, 28 years of coaching."
With Los Gatos (10-3) trailing by four points at halftime, the San Diego State-bound Bawden opened the second half with a 70-yard pass to Olivet to give Los Gatos a lead it would not relinquish.
Bawden's 1-yard run with 7:34 to play stretched the advantage to 10, and Wood's 9-yard run a few minutes later put the exclamation point on Krail's first section championship.
The win was Los Gatos' 10th in 11 games.
"I'm so happy, so proud of coach Krail," Bawden said. "Everybody doubted us when we were 0-2. But everybody in our locker room knew that we had it in us. We just really came out and showed it."
That they did. The drive that might forever be etched in Los Gatos lore began on the 6-yard line. Seventeen plays and five third-down conversions later, Bawden scored from the 1 to make it 24-14.
Bawden completed passes on all five third downs in that series, including an 11-yard slant to Chapman that put the ball on the 1.
Earlier, Bawden's big arm and Olivet's speed put the Wildcats in the end zone.
On a double-reverse flea-flicker in the second quarter, Bawden threw a 63-yard strike to Olivet that gave Los Gatos a 10-7 lead and served notice that the Wildcats were not in fear of their West Catholic Athletic League opponent.
"I'm so happy that we're here right now," Olivet said. "We knew we could win the entire time. We weren't afraid of WCAL teams."
St. Francis (9-4) opened the game with an impressive drive that featured its two primary runners, Alex Andrighetto and Landon Baty, and ended with Andrighetto's 1-yard touchdown.
Los Gatos answered with its own standout tailback. Wood's 46-yard run led to Chapman's 41-yard field goal that cut the lead to 7-3.
"It's the best feeling in the world," Wood said. "We've been waiting all season for this, and we knew that we could win it if we never gave up. We just kept grinding, kept pushing down the field and we put up points."
Los Gatos had two chances from deep inside St. Francis territory early in the game but came away empty both times.
The Lancers held on downs after Los Gatos moved inside the 10, but fumbled back to Los Gatos two plays later. St. Francis held again and then blocked a 27-yard field-goal try to maintain a 7-3 lead.
The double-reverse flea-flicker put Los Gatos in front 10-7, but St. Francis scored just before halftime on a 2-yard run by quarterback William Fischer-Colbrie to take a 14-10 advantage into the locker room.
"Hats off the Los Gatos, they're a great team," said Fischer-Colbrie, who transferred from Mountain View before the season. "I've played them three years at Mountain View, so I know what they're capable of. They have 14 CCS championships now for a reason."
When the clock struck zero, Los Gatos' bench erupted.
The Wildcats beat both CCS Division I finalists Milpitas and San Benito and now have beaten St. Francis, the only CCS team to beat Open Division champion Serra.
"This is just picture perfect for us right now," Bawden said.
Los Gatos 3 "7 "7 "14--31
St. Francis 7 "7 "0 " 0--14
SF -- Andrighetto 1 run (Fordham kick)
LG -- Chapman 41 FG
LG -- Olivet 63 pass from Bawden (Chapman kick)
SF -- Fischer-Colbrie 2 run (Fordham kick)
LG -- Olivet 70 pass from Bawden (Chapman kick)
LG -- Bawden 1 run (Chapman kick)
LG -- Wood 9 run (Chapman kick)
Records -- Los Gatos 10-3; St. Francis 9-4.

Game Review: Zombie-hunting bliss with rough edges
|Some of this generation's most beloved open-world games are riddled with bugs. The sequel "Dead Island Riptide" suffers the same affliction. (MCT)
Graphics: Varies between ugly and gorgeous depending on how close you are to a given texture or character model.
Sound: The '80s horror flick-style synth tracks are perfect. Zombies' distorted bellows sound appropriately unnerving.
Playability: Combat feels natural and is a lot of fun, but the wonky map, enemy AI, and framerate issues sully the experience.
Entertainment: The new character is an empowering beast, but the overall lack of polish holds it back.
Replay Value: Moderately High
The Bottom Line: 8/10
Some of this generation's most beloved open-world games are riddled with bugs. Even the truest fans of "Skyrim," "Fallout: New Vegas" and "Assassin's Creed III" must concede their lack of polish. Deep Silver's 2001 hit, "Dead Island," also falls into this camp. The sequel, "Dead Island Riptide," suffers the same affliction. The changes to its zombie-slaying formula improve the action, but this follow-up also comes with more issues than the original.
For better and worse, "Riptide" plays almost exactly like its flawed-but-fun predecessor. The melee-centric gameplay is still weighty and satisfying. Landing deliberate blows on a zombie's head or limbs feels great, especially when you break an arm or lop off a head. "Dead Island's" undead are just threatening enough to keep you on your toes without ever becoming too frustrating. I love watching damage points tick away above enemies' heads as I dismantle them. Leveling up and progressing through each character's skill trees is addicting. Teaming up with three friends makes slaughtering the hordes of shambling dead even better. No matter how seasoned your teammates are, all players see enemies scaled to their level, removing the headache from matchmaking.
After "Riptide" was announced, some confusion spread over whether the game was a true follow-up or an expansion. "Riptide" is indeed its own standalone sequel to the original "Dead Island." The survivors of the Banoi Island incident end up on another island in the same archipelago riddled with zombies. The story is still crudely delivered through in-engine cinematics that make the bottom-barrel horror films on Netflix look like works of genius. Thankfully, "Riptide's" narrative mostly stays out of your way, allowing you to focus on the joy of slaying zombies.
Between the multiple characters and bountiful side quests, "Riptide" packs hours of entertainment. New elements make battling the resurrected dead more intense. Boating through a flooded jungle while your teammates beat back waterlogged zombies is thrilling. The new hand-to-hand specialist character is the most enjoyable of the bunch, with punishing claws and a sprinting kick that sends zombies flying. Defense scenarios are an engaging change from the series' bread-and-butter fetch quests, requiring you to place barricades or man turrets as zombies rush the fortifications.
Despite the additions, "Riptide" suffers from the same bugs and blemishes as the first game - and then some. Enemy behavior is erratic, but not in a purposefully scary way. Zombies spend minutes tearing at a barricade, only to wander away the moment it falls. Foes phase through obstacles, glide up walls and land hits from improbable distances. The mini-map is geographically barren, and objective pathways flicker on and off, requiring you to frequently pull up the full map. Even worse, your treasured and customized weapons can inexplicably disappear from your inventory - a rare but frustrating problem.
"Riptide's" framerate is worse than its predecessor. Things slow to a crawl when the action heats up, especially after tossing an explosive near a large group of zombies. One strange bug occurred when an online teammate left the game, sucking the remaining three players into a choppy vortex of looping deaths that only stopped after resetting. These issues may sound insurmountable, but the game's highs still compensate for most of the embarrassing lows.
"Riptide's" flaws are many, but they couldn't hold me back from having a blast. Few games nail the visceral feel of melee combat and co-op fun like "Dead Island." At its worst, an annoying hiccup breaks the immersion of the grizzly trek through a zombie-infested paradise. At its best, "Riptide" hits the same high notes as the original.

Powerball jackpot grows to $600 million
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 9:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 9:52 a.m.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Powerball officials say the jackpot has climbed to an estimated $600 million, making it the largest prize in the game's history and the world's second largest lottery prize.
Lottery officials say the prize is growing quickly Friday because so many people have been purchasing the $2 tickets. The jackpot has grown by an estimated $236 million since the last drawing on Wednesday.
The last jackpot was won on March 30, so it's been growing for about six weeks. The next drawing is Saturday night.
The largest jackpot ever was a $656 million Mega Millions prize won in March 2012. The prize was split three ways with winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.
Odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are about 1 in 175 million.

|Kool-Aid Colors:
Quick, Fun Dyeing for Beginners
You don't need to wear a mask or use toxic chemicals to experiment with dyeing. Simply pick a few packets of any standard powdered drink mix and let your imagination run wild.
Because the process is quick and safe, it's a great project for kids. It also provides a great excuse to have friends over. The invitation could read, "I'm dyeing to see you!"
Materials Checklist
Here's what you'll need to get started:
Color: Kool Aid or any other concentrated powdered beverage mix works fine. Just make sure you use the unsweetened type. Barbara M. Harris-Pruitt has compiled an excellent chart of all Kool Aid colors, which you can view at http://www.thepiper.com/fiberart/koolaid/.
Fiber: You need to use protein fiber for this type of dying. Wool, silk, and mohair work especially well. I've had great success with Brown Sheep yarns.
Large Pot: Generally speaking, a stainless steel or enamel pot works best. Normally you won't mix your dye pot with cooking pots, simply because of the toxic materials you'll be using. In this case, however, it's safe to use any cooking pot.
Heat Source: In order for the color to absorb fully, the yarns need to simmer on the stovetop for several minutes.
Water: Purists use distilled water for best results. That's because the presence of too many minerals will impact the resulting color. Iron, for example, will dull dyes. For this experiment, tap water should be fine.
Gloves and Stirrer: Gloves aren't exactly necessary since you're using nontoxic dyes. If you don't want your hands to be tinted with color for a day or so, you'll want to wear gloves. You'll also need something to stir the fibers so that the color distributes evenly. Any normal spoon should do fine.
Vinegar: This is optional and serves as a mordant to help make the dyes more lightfast. Make sure the vinegar is basic white vinegar.

AUSTIN (December 8, 2011)--The Sons of Confederate Veterans has filed a federal lawsuit against the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles board for denying its proposed specialty license plate displaying the Confederate battle flag.
The board rejected the specialty plate 8-0 last month after Gov. Rick Perry said on the presidential campaign trail that he opposed it.
The Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans filed the suit Thursday in U.S. District Court in Austin against the eight DMV board members who voted, arguing its First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated.
The DMV says it has yet to see the complaint.
Nine other states have approved Sons of Confederate Veterans' specialty plates, but Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina only did so after the group sued.
A similar suit is pending in Florida.

Prom has cast her magical spell on me.
The air is a little sweeter, exploding with secrecy and anticipation, filled with whispers of who's asking whom and that's-so-cute.
If you asked me about prom in the beginning of the year, I would have snorted and said it's not a big deal. Ask me now, and I'll smile.
Sigh. Vivaldi should have created a "Prom Season" piece along with the other four.
There's a certain fairytalelike charm that comes with the parade of dresses, the ticket line snaking around the courtyard, boys nervously planning their prom asks, the flowers, balloons, photos, candles and signs.
To be a part of prom is a fun and lovely thing, but there's always a condition that seems to take a pinch (or all) of the magic away. This condition is only felt by those who have it, and those who don't have it often forget it exists.
I'm talking about the silent worries of teens who are going to prom alone -- or who are too afraid to go alone. A month ago, I didn't plan to go with anyone, and I honestly didn't see anything wrong with that choice. Now, I don't plan to go with anyone -- and I know there's nothing wrong with that -- but I'm not as relaxed about my decision as before.
It's the fear of being left behind that's been nagging me. Seeing all my friends getting asked, having a backup date, or at least having some sort of security that they will not be going alone is causing me to question going unaccompanied. Who will take photos with me? Will I be the only one not standing next to someone in my obligatory Facebook prom profile picture? How will I get to prom if they're all taking a limo together with their dates?
I feel like everyone's growing up, and I'm just still, still ... me. I want to tell my friends, "Don't leave me," but life is unplanned, and there will be times when you feel like you're behind. And at the end, this is the question that plays in my mind: Should I even go to prom?
My heart says yes. It says I should go if I want to go, so despite my misgivings, I will. I wish I were one of those confident people not worried about going alone. I applaud you, you cool, secure people.
In my mind, I know it really shouldn't matter. Date or no date, I'm the one who determines if I'll have fun at prom.

For Tuesday and Wednesday, highs are expected to remain below freezing in Nashville, Clarksville, Crossville and the Tri-Cities. Highs right at freezing are predicted for Knoxville and Union City. Temperatures should top in the upper 30s in Memphis and Chattanooga.
By Thursday night and Friday, there's a chance of cold rain in southern parts of the state, but snow and sleet in some northern areas of Tennessee.

A 22-year-old Vermont man is facing poaching charges after game wardens say he shot what they're describing as a "mature antlered buck" in Morrisville after the close of deer season.
Wardens say Skylar Poleio was arrested at about 11:15 p.m. Dec. 14 after he and another person went to retrieve the buck.
Wardens say they received a 911 call that night from someone who heard a gunshot on Cote Hill Road in Morrisville.
Wardens, police and sheriff's deputies responded. Officers used a thermal imaging device to locate Poleio in the woods.
He was charged with taking deer in closed season. He could be sentenced to two months in jail.
Wardens say Poleio was charged in November while allegedly trying to locate deer at night with a spotlight.

Palmetto man hurt in scooter crash
Published: Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.
A 23-year-old Palmetto man suffered critical injuries late Wednesday when the scooter he was riding collided with a car on Cortez Road in Manatee County, authorities said.
Aaron R. Hill was transported to Blake Medical Center for treatment following the crash, which occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The incident started as Hill was driving a SCWI scooter westbound in the inner of two westbound lanes, near the 37th Street West intersection, reports said. A 2008 Nissan Versa heading eastbound on Cortez, driven by Jason Anziano, 29, of Bradenton, had entered the turn lane in the center of the road.
The scooter then also entered the turn lane, and hit the Nissan, throwing Hill to the ground.
No charges have been filed.

GM-soy: A doubt follows a yes
25.06.2012 - A European authority says Monsanto's roundup-ready soy is safe for man and environment. But there is doubt remaining.
Parma/Munich – For the first time, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved the cultivation of genetically modified (GM) soy. So far, the GM soy "roundup-ready" by US-industry leader Monsanto can only be imported to the EU. The Scientific Opinion published by the EFSA's GMO panel now paves the way for EU Commissioner John Dalli. The Commission can give Monsanto the green light for cultivating the crop on European soils if the EU member states will not achieve a qualified majority on the issue.
However, there might be a fierce head wind blowing. German anti-GMO association Testbiotech e.V. points out that there's a legal minefield in the way. A study done on behalf of Testbiotech says that an expected admittance might violate EU law. Matter of concern: the EFSA opinion itself. According to the study, the EFSA should have also tested if the residues of pesticides to be used (in this case glyphosate) could have negative effects on human health. Not implementing this concern in the risk assessment could be equivalent to a breach of EU laws. The crop in question is soybean 40-3-2. It carries a gene that makes it tolerant to glyphosate (brand name: Roundup). That is why the soybean is also dubbed "roundup-ready soy". The EFSA opinion clearly regulates the use of this pesticide: "It should result in similar or reduced environmental impacts compared with conventional soybean cultivation." The panel also recommends that case-specific monitoring of (1) changes in weed community diversity; and (2) the evolution of resistance to glyphosate in weeds should be deployed.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/gm-soy-a-doubt-follows-a-yes.html

Onetrixie - great response to the co-worker. I loved it.
Emmaleigh47 - you will be in my thoughts this weekend. Have a great time. I can't wait to hear how it went.
Still on my program for the HM at the end of February. Got in my 9 miler on Sunday. I felt pretty wasted for a couple of hours afterwards then bounced back. Forgot my watch so don't know how long it took. New fresh snow and ice so took quite a bit of work making sure I kept solid footing, even with the yak-traks. My stabalizer muscels were letting me know about if for a little while.
Got 4 miles in today. Almost 40 degrees but windy....boy does that slow me down. Was able to jog the entire thing though and that's a first so was happy about that. The hills on my current route are getting less intimidating too. I have 5 miles tomorrow and am going to work to jog all of it too, that will be another first. Sunday I have 10 miles so will be in the double digits. WOW! When I started this thing a little over 8 weeks ago I was operating completely on faith but couldn't really imagine that someday I'd say to my husband, "I ONLY have 4 miles today" or that I really would jog the better portion of 10 miles. The human body is a pretty amazing organism.
Printed the early-registration form for the HM and am sending it in tomorrow. Getting pretty excited about it. Printed the map and route profile tonight too. Might drive over there in the next week or two just to see it, even thought it is 2-3 hours away.
Keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep posting. Thanks again to all of you for the advice, encouragement, and inpsiration.

@OneTrixie - You mean I've spent all last year just walking? Even my best 5K PR (10:35 miles) was still just a casual stroll, I guess! Funny, it felt so much harder than that! Thanks for laughing at that guy for all us penguins!
My running and weight loss adventure is chronicled at:
Race walkers actually do 8 minute miles!
I figure if one heel and one toe are on the ground at the same time, you're walking. If none are on the ground at some point in the stride, you're definitely running.
But the real point is how fast does HE cover a mile?

Hi Gang! Hope everyone is well today!
MamaBear! Good job on the 9 miler! Doesn't it feel strange when you get to the point that you say..I ONLY have 4 miles today or 5 miles today! Before I started training for a HM, 4 or 5 miles WAS my long run!
Jack - Amen to that! People who do NOT run or do any form of exercise for that matter have no idea how hard it is and how much discipline it takes to run. I have had people that do nothing physically ask me what the 13.1 sticker on my car means and I tell them that is how many miles I ran in my HM. They say...oh..I could run, but my muscles are weak! Well, I bet they are since you do nothing but sit on your butt all day. Then I have also had people to tell me how crazy I am that I run and ask me why I would want to do that. I tell them that I do it because at 58 years old..I CAN!!! Then I ask them if they CAN?

A few weeks ago the weather was good enough for a round of golf. It felt good to get out and spend a few hours of what I call walking and stretching. After we were finished, the guys I played with ( a group of about 8 golfers ) were discusing where to go to drink some beer. That being one of the key activities of guys in the golf league. When I told than the day was too nice and I was going home to run, their reaction caught me by surprise. It was like it was not PC do do something healthy! Two of the guys actually chided me as if doing something healthy was a comment on the rest of them or that I was somehow insinuating that they were unhealthy. Not one of them could run half a mile at any speed. We usually do a lot of kidding around with each other, but the two who commented seem to actually feel that I was some how insulting them.
I have learned to keep my running to myself in most situations. Until I meet with another runner, them I am just a blabber mouth!
Good running to ALL who get out and do it!

Dearn it.....sure hope coolrunning gets this site fixed soon. Hate, hate, hate these disappearing posts.
Mimi & Onetrixie, had a good laugh at your devilish comebacks. My 32 year old daughter & I agreed that our foray on the pavement this morning definately had elements of running, even if we did excede the 10 min. pace. Heck, at my age, I may never meet his qualifications of running, but that isn't going to stop me from moving my bootie as fast as I can over whatever distance that I can.
Had a nice 3.1 mile run this am followed by yoga. I've been a funk this week, so really dreadred getting out, but, it was fine once I got started.
Have a great day fellow penguins.

That is so right on, and it seems to apply to most self-improvement areas. I find with weight loss some people do not want to support it because they feel that it is a reflection on themselves of what they are not doing. Like as simple as if I politely say "no thank you" to some supermarket birthday cake at the office, it somehow becomes about my inflexibility. But when in fact, I leave room in my diet for deserts, I just make sure they are worth the calories. It seems similar to you - I'm sure you don't run non-stop, but you also are unwilling to waste a beautiful day as I am unwilling to waste calories.
I find it is easier to keep my excitement at the possibilities of life to myself when I am around certain types of people that aren't into self improvement, but then I do tend to probably talk a bit too much when around people who are! As an example, I'm loving these message boards and the people that are on them!
My running and weight loss adventure is chronicled at:
Onetrixie - When I am using the treadmill, I find the cutoff point between when I am walking and when I start to jog is a 4.0 speed, which is a 15 minute mile. So I'm not sure what catagory your co-worker would put me in, but I guess I am off the charts, and according to that person, I am not doing anything at all.
Mimi - Awhile back I told some co-workers that I do triathlons, and one person said, "Why, what are you trying to prove?" I told that person I was not trying to prove anything, other than the fact that I liked doing them, it made me have energy, and it proved to myself that I could do it. Then that person said, "I could never do that, I have heart problems." I thought to myself, "That's why you have heart problems, because you won't do anything physical," but I kept those comments to myself. So I can relate to the people you know who said they cannot run due to tired muscles.
....I'm very new to long distance running, I've been training for longer (5+ miles) for about a year, and running on a semi-regular basis for at least 2 now. I really don't know that much about how to properly organize a training regime, and for the most part of this past year, every time I ran, I pushed. This didn't seem condusive to getting myself to go running the next time it was on the daily schedule, AND I recently signed up for my first 1/2 Marathon. I found a 4 month training schedule on-line, and I've been sticking to it, but I jsut had some random questions, and I didn't really know where else to turn, so I apologize if this is annoying, BUT! if you happen to know the answers, please chime in...OR if you know of a good resource where I can find a lot of my problems addressed, that would be fantastic too.
...I recently stumbled across the notion of heart-rate training (and I got a heart rate monitor for Christmas, which I LOVE) I have been trying to locate my heart rate training "zones" which requires a calculation of my max heart rate. The formula I found on line uses age. Despite my slow running pace, apparently over the past year, pushing myself has greatly lowered my resting heart rate and I was wondering if this factors into my max heart rate calculation at all. I feel like it should, but I'm not very sciency, so who knows. I also found some physical tests I could try, but I am hesitant to do so...(I've already fallen off the treadmill at the gym once! :)) but are those tests more accurate?
...also, based on my running schedule, I'm running one long day followed by a very brief recovery run the next day, and then three days of middle, short, middle distances. Which of these runs should be my "hard" run, and how many of them should be in the "easy" category? I am interested in building speed, but from what I understand there should only be speedwork done in brief periods leading up to a race? and should not be part of my weekly workout year round? To sustain my "easy" heart rate I feel like I'm barely moving....but at the same time I do run farther. Should both of my short runs be hard runs?
...also I try to go to the gym 3 times a week too....I'm only in there for like 15 minuets, but with all the runnning, should I lower the amount of weight training? I am also a student and I don't get too much sleep during the semester, which plays into how dead my legs feel too. towards the end of the week sometimes, after I've been sitting down for a long time at my job or school, my calfs get a wierd swollen feeling?!!? am I doing something wrong? or are they just fatigued? haha maybe I should do more stretching.
your thoughts?!?!?! thank you for wading through all of that, I apologize if these questions are silly!
adeen, I'm very new to any kind of running. I started C25K at the end of October and I have had a lot of the same questions as you. Here's my opinion.
I also got a fancy gps watch with a heart rate monitor for Christmas. I have a good idea what my max HR is since I had a stress test last year, and it's pretty close to what some of the formulas say. I've read online and in some books that the formulas aren't really accurate, but I guess I lucked out. My doctor said my max was around 180 and the highest I've ever gotten it is 177 when I was running like an idiot. Regarding zones, this seemed like a really appealing idea but I'm unable to use it yet. Maybe when I get more fit it'll work but for now it's useless. My resting HR is usually kind of high, like 90 or so, sometimes less, but it goes up to 140 or so really quick even without much exertion and I'm supposed to be below 128 for my easy run, according to one plan I saw. Bottom line is I use my HR to see how hard I'm working and how well I'm cooling off. I have noticed in the month I've had it my HR doesn't jump up as fast as it used to and it comes back down quicker than it used to so maybe someday the zones will work for me. Since you have already lowered your resting rate (that's what I want to do!) it would make sense that your zones would change but I haven't seen anything yet that takes that into account. The zones I've seen are all a percentage of the max.
I found an online plan that has me running easy on Monday, both easy and fast on Wednesday and easy and long on Saturday. I really like it so far. The Wednesday run will be a mile at the easy pace, a mile or two at a fast pace, then another easy mile. The Saturday run is all easy and a mile or two longer than the Monday run. Every 4 weeks or so the distances decrease for a week and then ramp back up. Supposedly by the end of April I'll have a Saturday run of 10 miles. My goal is to finish somewhere other than DFL in a 10K in the first week of May. The good news on HR is now I don't get up really high like 90% of my max until I go about 3 easy miles, so I think I'm getting more fit. I'm also not gasping for breath even after running 3 or 4 miles at the easy pace. Feels good, just need stronger legs and I could go all day. I really hope the fast running on Wednesday will increase my speed. I was overjoyed when I ran a 5K at less than 40 minutes but I want to do it at less than 30 minutes at some point. I also want to run a 10K in less than an hour one day, but for my first one I just want to beat somebody and finish. Maybe I shouldn't have waited till I was past 50 to start running.
Looking at my plan a little closer it has some Thursday runs popping in there too toward the end of February. My main goal at the moment is to get stronger. I hope the speed will come too but distance is my main goal right now with no huffing and puffing.
If your interested the plan I'm using is the Smart Coach plan from the Runners World website. There's and ipod app for it but it's kind of flaky.
Possibly because of not starting to run till I was older, I didn't get into "heart-rate" training, but I have done 2 HM's and 1 Full Marathon and got alot of information and my training schedules from Marathonrookie.com - Check it out - it may help

I posted this in another section by accident, so I am posting here in hopes of getting help
I have setup the media server, he ps3 recognizes it. I can share all my music and videos with ps3.
only files that cannot be played are the HD files, which includes some 1080p files. PS3 gives the error message "This content cannot be played" (800288E1)
the format of hd files is mpeg 4 (h264). I'd like to add that not all HD files are unplayable, some seem to play.
i have verizon fios and router, (speed is 50/25) , ps3 connected to the router with the network cable. Laptop is core i5, 8gb ram.
any suggestions? I have tried reinstalling 1.82.0, didnt help. Also tried unisntalling 1.81.0 and that didn't do anything either.

Cannellini Bean and Roasted Eggplant Hummus
Anyway, I'll admit to you that I've never been a really big fan of hummus (another word which spell check doesn't like, by the way) but I've always thought that a true hummus recipe must include garbanzo beans (which I'm not really fond of for some reason.) However, the minute I sub in cannellini beans for garbanzo beans, I become a hummus lover of maximum degree. There's just something about their creaminess that pleases my palate.
The original recipe from Giada De Laurentiis is essentially a good recipe, but I thought it needed a little something extra to kick it up a notch, so I put on my notch kickers and got to work. The end result was a very tasty hummus that I enjoyed with sliced English cucumbers for lunch one day last week.
Cannellini Bean and Roasted Eggplant Hummus (adapted from Giada De Laurentiis)
1 1/2 pounds of eggplant, trimmed and diced into 2 inch cubes (I used two small white eggplants that I found at the farmer's market last weekend.)
Olive oil for drizzling the eggplant, plus 2 TBSP (Giada's recipe calls for 1/3 cup, but I thought it needed much less than that, due to the already-creamy factor of the beans.)
Kosher salt for seasoning the eggplant, plus 1/2 tsp
Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning the eggplant, plus 1/2 tsp
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 TBSP fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp fresh lemon zest
1 TBSP roasted garlic
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place eggplant cubes on baking sheet and drizzle with a teaspoon or two of olive oil and then season with some kosher salt and ground black pepper.
Roast eggplant in oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
Place the cooled eggplant in your food processor along with the remainder of the ingredients and process until smooth. Garnish with paprika, if desired. Serve with sliced cucumber or your favorite fresh vegetable.
I'm submitting this recipe to this month's Kitchen Bootcamp Challenge at My Kitchen Addiction. (Hope I'm not too late Jen!)

I so agree about cannellini beans. They are a staple in my pantry. I am not really an eggplant fan, but will give this a try. I substitute hummus instead of mayo on our sandwiches.

This does look good, but I have to admit, being Armenian and having grown up on the original chickpea hummus, everything else just doesn't work for me. But....the roasted eggplant does continue to draw me towards it.

Hi, I am a P2P professional and would to love to explore and learn more about my domain. I would like to know if I can get a detail training and learning module for the below mentioned areas?
Is their anyone in this community who can help me out on this??
The Education Services team has a variety of live-session training courses at Ariba University (www.aribauniversity.com), but based on your response on the other version of this post, I don't think we're quite what you're looking for.
Ariba has a variety of guides, documentation, support, and case studies, but they are typically reserved for Ariba customers. If your company is using Ariba, you can access most of them through Knowledge@Ariba (knowledge.ariba.com) or Ariba Connect (connect.ariba.com).
I'm not familiar with training that would be available for free for non-Ariba customers, but perhaps somebody else in the community will have an idea.
Thanks Tim.....
Hi Gaurav
Tim is right. I, too, am an Ariba Professional providing support to a company that has implemented Ariba Buyer 8.2 to service the needs for indirect procurement. I sense you too are working in a support project, is that right?
Anyways, if you or any of your colleagues have a connect account, you can view the Ariba Documentation over there.
But there is an alternate option. The product version that you are using also provides a link to the documents in the 'Help' section. That is where I got the documents for my training. Besides a few webinars.
Check out if you can download the documentation at your end.
Thanks Sohail....I will check and get back to u.

Quick GiftsChenille Scarf
I saw a scarf similar to the following in a local boutique and refused to pay
$80+ for even the child's size!
Not much of a pattern and certainly adaptable to any size.
Knit a "scarf" rectangle in your favorite varigated chenille or other specialty fiber/yarn. You need to knit in a lacy pattern or very loose garter stitch--no wrong pattern or size. Just a pattern that will allow you to see a bit thru the knitted fabric.
Bind off.
Sew knitted scarf to a piece of velvet or velour, using a matching color of thin cording or piping for the edges. You could also cut the velour/velvet larger and "wrap" around to the front of knitted piece and finish similar to quilt binding.
Wish I had a picture of one, but I have given all away before pictures could be taken.
My favorite combinations have been black velvet with varigated primary or jewel tone chenille. The black background allows the colors to show themselves.
Happy knitting and Joyous Holidays to all!
Send us your favorite!
