'Chemo Brain' Real, Not Just Patient's Imagination
Nov. 29, 2012 (Chicago) -- For cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy who have found their complaints of general mental fogginess and haziness dismissed by their doctors as not being a real medical condition, vindication has arrived.
Using brain imaging, researchers have found physiological evidence of "chemo brain," the problems with memory, concentration, and planning that often plague cancer patients during treatment with chemotherapy drugs.
A combination of positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) showed chemotherapy can induce changes in the brain that may affect concentration and memory, says researcher Rachel A. Lagos, DO, a resident in diagnostic radiology at the West Virginia University School of Medicine and West Virginia University Hospitals in Morgantown.
"We were surprised at how obvious the changes were," Lagos says. "Chemo brain phenomenon is more than a feeling. It is a change in brain function observable on PET/CT brain imaging."
Chemo Fog Common
In a 2006 study, University of Rochester researchers found that 82% of 595 people with cancer given chemotherapy reported problems with memory and concentration.
Still, the cause of chemo brain has been difficult to pinpoint, leading some doctors to doubt its existence. Some studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have found small changes in brain volume after chemotherapy, but no definitive link has been found.
So Lagos and colleagues took a different tactic, using a combination of PET and CT imaging to look for changes in brain metabolism in 128 patients who had undergone chemotherapy for breast cancer.
"PET/CT imaging shows how the brain is using energy. So it gives you an earlier look at regions of the brain that are being affected by chemotherapy, as they start to use less energy. That happens long before you can see structural changes in the brain on MRI," she says.
PET/CT imaging revealed changes in metabolism in brain regions involved in long-term memory, mental agility, decision making, problem solving, and prioritizing.
The findings were presented here at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
Chemo Brain: Outside Perspective
"Importantly, the regions of the brain that were affected made sense in terms of the symptoms that patients report," says Max Wintermark, MD, engineering chief of neuroradiology for the University of Virginia.

Fresno State wideout Davante Adams extended his run of games with a touchdown reception to 11 in the victory over Boise State and is seven short of tying the NCAA record set by Pitt's Larry Fitzgerald.
The redshirt sophomore may not break that record, but over the next few weeks he definitely will have opportunities to make plays against some poor pass defenses.
Fresno State this week plays at Hawaii, which is ranked 112th in the bowl subdivision in passing efficiency defense and is tied for 100th in passing touchdowns allowed with eight.
The Bulldogs follow that up with a game at Idaho, which is ranked 118th in passing efficiency defense and is 123rd and last in passing touchdowns allowed with 13.
They return home after that for a game against UNLV, which is fifth in passing efficiency defense. But the Rebels have played three teams ranked 90th or lower in passing efficiency (Arizona is 90th, Central Michigan is 95th and Minnesota is 99th) as well as an FCS team in Western Illinois that is ranked 86th. And the Rebels have not been particularly stout, giving up 34.3 points per game to rank in a tie for 104th.
If the streak is still alive, Adams and the Bulldogs will match up against San Diego State, which is 94th in the bowl subdivision in passing efficiency defense. Then, it will be Nevada, which is 66th. Then, it will be Wyoming, which is 58th. Then it will be New Mexico, which is 111th. And the Bulldogs close out the regular season with a game at San Jose State, which is the only one of those opponents ranked in the Top 50 in passing efficiency defense, this week at No. 32.
Next game: at Hawaii, 9 p.m. PT Saturday (MW Digital Network)
Notable: Fresno State guard Cody Wichmann was called for an illegal chop block late in the third quarter against Boise State, the first penalty by a Bulldogs' offensive lineman in 149 plays going back to the overtime victory over Rutgers. In 254 snaps this season, there has not been a false start and only three penalties on the line -- two illegal blocks and one personal foul. ... A big topic going into the Boise State game was how the Bulldogs would compete -- a year ago, they came up pretty small in their biggest games. Coach Tim DeRuyter: "I thought our guys did a great job. There was a totally different look on their faces than a year ago. Our guys went in expecting to compete and win. I thought we started the game off well, they counterpunched and tied the thing up, and there's no panic. We kept playing and they kept playing, trading punches. I thought in the third quarter we had a chance to land a knockout blow and go up three scores, but didn't get it done and you have to give them credit for making us kick a field goal. It was just one of those games where, very similar to Rutgers, no matter if we were up or down, the swings of emotion in the game didn't affect our guys. We just kept to the task at hand and always had that confidence that we were going to find a way to get it done.''
-- Robert Kuwada, Fresno Bee
The Rainbow Warriors suffered key injuries in the first half of a 31-9 road loss to Nevada this past Saturday.
Quarterback Taylor Graham injured his left (non-throwing) shoulder during a scramble in the second quarter. He remained for the next play, a fourth-down incompletion, then did not play thereafter. The Warriors used three other quarterbacks, all of whom combined for five of UH's six turnovers.
Graham has not been ruled out for Saturday's game against Fresno State. But if he is unavailable, UH will choose from Sean Schroeder, Jeremy Higgins and Ikaika Woolsey.
Running back Joey Iosefa, who missed the first two games while recovering from a fractured foot, aggravated his left foot during a pile-up. Iosefa was not wearing a medical boot in practices Monday and Tuesday.
Linebacker Julian Gener, the team's third-leading tackler, has an elbow injury and will undergo "Tommy John surgery" on Friday. He is expected to be ready for spring training. Gener played on three special-team units. Special teams coordinator Chris Demarest said he has not finalized replacements.
Tight end Harold Moleni and defensive ends Beau Yap and Iuta Tepa must wait until Wednesday to be evaluated. The three suffered concussions against Nevada. Because of the health situation, the Warriors did not allow cameras in practice. Although practices are closed to the public, reporters are allowed to attend and television stations may video individual drills.
Next game: vs. Fresno State, 9 p.m. PT Saturday (MW Digital Network)
Notable: This will be the Warriors' first home game since the Aug. 29 season opener against USC. ... The Warriors rejected a $600,000 offer to play Colorado in Boulder on Oct. 19. The Buffaloes were seeking a home game to replace the Sept. 14 game against Fresno State that was canceled because of area floods. Colorado initially offered $400,00, then upped it to $600,000. The deal-breaker was Colorado's reluctance to pay for a charter flight. If the game were scheduled, UH would play four road games in five weeks.

Junior defensive end Brock Hekking, who has been getting national attention for his Brian Bosworth-style mullet, had one of the most productive games by a defensive player in recent Wolf Pack memory in the 31-9 victory over Hawaii on Saturday at Mackay Stadium.
Hekking, from Vacaville High, had eight tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles, two pass breakups and one interception as the Wolf Pack shut out the Rainbow Warriors in the second half. He was named the MW Defensive Player of the Week, the first such honor of his career. He was also named the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week.
"It's well deserved," coach Brian Polian said at his weekly Quarterbacks Club Luncheon on Monday. "And I, frankly, thought he should have been up for the Walter Camp national defensive player of the week. ... To have the kind of production he had in one ballgame -- I don't have the numbers here in front of me, but it was ridiculous."
Nevada also forced six turnovers (not including holding Hawaii on two fourth-down attempts), which has the Pack ranked first in the Mountain West in turnover margin (plus-1.75) and seventh nationally.
The six turnovers were the most forced by the Wolf Pack since 1996.
The defensive effort was imperative because redshirt freshman Tyler Stewart was making his first college start in place of starter Cody Fajardo, who has missed the last two games with a sprained right knee, and backup Devin Combs, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 62-7 loss at Florida State on Sept. 14.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Stewart responded well, going 14 for 20 for 202 yards and three TD passes against no interceptions.
Polian said Monday that Fajardo continues to be day-to-day. He could for the third straight week be a game-time decision.
Next game: vs. Air Force, 5:05 p.m. PT Saturday (CBS Sports Network)
Notable: Nevada allowed 461 rushing yards in a 48-31 loss at Air Force last season, but Polian is confident first-year defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton will have a good game plan against AFA's triple option. As the linebackers coach at USC last year, DC Monte Kiffin had Hazelton draw up the defense for Georgia Tech, also a triple-option team, in the Sun Bowl. ... Polian and his coaches are still moving defensive guys around to find the best fit. The most recent change: Outside linebacker Jonathan McNeal took some snaps at middle linebacker and outside linebacker Reggie Coates moved to defensive end. ... Two offensive linemen who have missed the last two games, Connor Talbott (ankle) and Zach Brickell (pneumonia), are questionable. ... Running back Don Jackson, the first-team RB coming out of training camp, was back at practice Sunday after missing three games with a high ankle sprain. ... True freshman CB Tere Calloway is back at practice after missing three games with a knee injury.
-- Dan Hinxman, Reno Gazette-Journal
The Aztecs are 0-3, but at least things appear to be moving in the right direction.
San Diego State finally managed to establish a run game in Saturday's defeat to Oregon State, and that was due in large part to the return of running back Adam Muema.
Muema missed parts of the first two games with a low ankle sprain, but he played a full 60 minutes against Oregon State and scored a 2-yard rushing touchdown while also totaling a career-high 28 carries.
"I think we were better running the ball," Aztecs coach Rocky Long said. "Having Adam back helped, and the offensive line blocked better than they have till this point."
The Aztecs still have a ways to go to truly get the run game on track, though.
Long said Muema looked a little rusty.
"He hit some holes well, and some holes he missed," Long said. "But he missed so much full-speed work. He should be a whole lot better this week."
After a rough start to the season in the passing game, the Aztecs are also finally settling down in that regard.
In his first career start, walk-on QB Quinn Kaehler completed 61 percent of his passes for 251 yards. He threw two costly interceptions at the end -- one of which resulted in a pick-six that lost the game for SDSU -- but did enough to keep the starting job this week against New Mexico State.
Next game: at New Mexico State, 5 p.m. PT (ESPN3)
Notable: SDSU got Muema back but lost backup RB Chase Price for 2-3 weeks to a separated shoulder. OLB Derek Largent re-injured his sprained knee against the Beavers and is currently day-to-day.
-- Stefanie Loh, U-T San Diego
David Fales and the San Jose State offense found their groove, but the Spartans defense has major issues brewing entering the Mountain West opener against Utah State.
Defensive coordinator Kenwick Thompson was blunt with his assessment of what's troubling SJSU.
"Tackling," Thompson said. "Too many yards after contact."
In a loss to Minnesota, the Spartans several times contacted a ballcarrier only to be driven 3 to 4 yards downfield. On a couple of occasions, the extra yardage delivered a first down.
SJSU also struggled against read-option looks and didn't do a good job setting the edge on run plays, issues that could create a major headache against Chuckie Keeton and Utah State. Keeton frustrated the Spartans last year with his ability to escape pressure and make plays.
The hope has been that the Spartans' new 3-4 defense, which hasn't played well the past two games, would be better suited for spread-type offenses in the Mountain West, so this week will be the first true test of that.
"The last two weeks were not like that. They were power running teams," coach Ron Caragher said of Stanford and Minnesota. "We're going to play teams that are spread out and open. We're a little more set up to do that."
SJSU is trying to prepare for the fast pace at which Utah State plays. At Monday's practice, the defense was running sprints to the sidelines in between each play to try to condition itself for the pace of the game.
Next game: vs. Utah State, 6 p.m. PT Friday (ESPN)
Notable: Wide receiver Noel Grigsby is out indefinitely with a knee injury. It's believed to be season-ending, which would end the collegiate career of the school's all-time leading receiver. He's not eligible to receive a sixth season of play. ... Kicker Austin Lopez made his 21st consecutive field goal in the loss to Minnesota. That's now the longest active streak in the FBS. The sophomore hasn't missed a field goal in his career and is two shy of tying Notre Dame's David Ruffer's 23 consecutive field goals to begin a career, which is believed to be the record.
-- Jimmy Durkin, San Jose Mercury News
UNLV has lost 23 consecutive road games, but the Rebels probably have their most confidence in coach Bobby Hauck's four seasons.
They are coming off consecutive victories for the first time under Hauck, and oddsmakers have made the Rebels 2-point favorites at New Mexico.
Hauck and his players have downplayed the road skid, which is second in school history to the 26 consecutive games lost between 1994 and 1998. Twenty-one of the games in the current streak have been with Hauck at the helm.
But Hauck acknowledged the confidence should be up for a team that is coming off a 31-21 victory over Central Michigan and a 38-7 win over Western Illinois.
"Winning is a good tonic for everything," Hauck said. "Losing's hard to deal with, especially in our game. A baseball team plays 80 games. You lose, and you go play tomorrow. Football, it's a grinding sensation when you don't win, and it's very uplifting when you do. It's an emotional game. It's supposed to be played that way. So when you lose, it takes some mental toughness to come back. It's certainly a lot easier to go to work for these guys (players) on Monday when they're coming off a win."
This is a big game for UNLV, which probably will be an underdog in the remainder of its away games. So if the Rebels are to break the skid, it most likely needs to happen this weekend.
Next game: at New Mexico, 5 p.m. PT Saturday (ROOT Sports)
Notable: UNLV has not won three games in a row since September 2003 when it beat Wisconsin, Hawaii and Nevada. ... The Rebels' last road victory occurred at New Mexico, a 34-17 win on Oct. 24, 2009.

Good day!
Ive been lurking around these parts the last year or so, enjoying random articles, reviews, shows, and Jim Sterlings sense of humor and literary witchcraftery (comment section of the Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise review was mindblowing). So having just finished all my exams for the semester, I thought it would be nice to check out the msg.board. I've been to other forums before (skating+norwegian gaming site), but nothing comes close to the size of this one. So I'm exited and intrigued.
About me:
I'm 25 years old, born and raised in Oslo Norway. Ive been playing video and computer games for as long as I can remember. Some of my first game memories were playing Monkey Island on my fathers PC and The Legend of Zelda on my sisters NES. When I had finally earned enough money for a SNES (took me 9 months or so) and a copy of Super Mario World, I was hooked. From that day I've considered myself to be a gamer. I can thank gaming for my relatively affluent English, from having to read imported gaming magazines in order to keep up on the scene. I've been to Nintendo shows (where I once won a Lamar 1080º Snowboarding snowboard, wee), mid-night releases and LAN-parties.
Some of my all time favourite games are (except Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, FF, MGS, RE games etc. that most gamers love):
Day of the Tentacle
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
The Longest Journey
Power Stone
Shadow of Memories (Shadow of Destiny in North America)
Broken Sword I&II
Skies of Arcadia
Blade Runner
Grandia 2
Winback (Guilty pleasure for sure. Not a good game in general, but I was looking forward to it for so long I guess it clouded my judgement. Good boss battles though)
Chrono Trigger
Super Castelvania IV
Phantasy Star Online
Mystical Ninja
Shadow of the Colossus
The Walking Dead
As you can probably tell by the games I listed, I'm a huge Dreamcast fan, and I still believe its has the best game library to date considering its short life cycle.
In my spare time I like to play music. Ive got a couple of guitars, a banjo, an ukelele, a mandolin, a keyboard and a violin. I've been playing with various bands the last couple of years. Now I'm working on starting a new band, drawing influence from old Modest Mouse and Built to Spill, but perhaps a bit more up-beat and fresh.
I used to be a pretty good skater. Travelled around Europe and the US. Now Im too swamped and lazy to hit the streets, and spend most of my time at school or at home with my girlfriend, our two dogs and my cat, playing videogames. She's a gamer as well, but she's more of a nintendo gamer (Fake Nerd Girl zomgwtfbbq). She also has 200+ hours in Skyrim, and we play games such as RE5+6 and LFD2 together.
I hope I'm welcome here, and feel free to ask me any questions!

Within the context of running marathons, I consider myself a runner, but I often wonder what makes a runnner a runner (as opposed to a jogger or something else). I've seen some articles and discussion on this in Runners World and other places that try to put a running time on this as a determinant. And I'm slooow. I can break a 5-hour marathon, and am working on breaking 4:30, but I doubt I will ever break 4:00. Forget Boston (until I'm too old to care maybe). On the other hand, I run 30-35 miles every week. I participate with a training group (someone has to tag along at the end!). Am I not a runner? Maybe not.
What separates a runner from a jogger, to me, is a sense of improvement. I am betting you track your mileage in a training log and note improvement, whereas a jogger goes out and runs and just does it to stay in shape. They get in their thirty minute jog and they are good. A runner has a plan. They are going to do this workout today, and they are getting ready for "X" race. George Sheehan said, "The only thing that separates a runner from a jogger is an entry form". I have nothing against joggin, but I prefer to be a runner. I don't think you have to put a time requirement on it. Being a runner is a mentality.
Act like a horse. Be dumb. Just run.
- Jumbo Elliot
Smile, it confuses people.
Well, I can't say I always improve, but I guess you are right -- I do have a plan and goals.
I've noticed this seems to be coming up more and more. Personally, I think it is up to the person to define what they are/aren't. I run because I love it - no training plan involved. To me having a training plan would make running more like work (I have to run "X" miles today/this week; I have to cross train "X" days; etc.). I run where, when and how I feel like. To many that makes me a jogger which is fine by me. When I line up (at the back of the pack) for a race, I know I will have fun. It's all good.
In my book, if both feet leave the ground at some point in your stride, you're running.
Joggers run for fitness, run the same course, and do not strive to improve. A runner runs competitivally, against themselves, their abilities and their fastest times. A runner always strives for improvement and is up for new challenges, such as new courses. A runner also runs for the sake of running not for fitness, to lose weight, attension, or anything else.
Pearl Izumi has an interesting (and rather polarizing) take on the subject: http://www.wearenotjoggers.com/home
I happen to think that being a runner isn't a speed issue, it's about being willing to put in the effort and time needed to prepare your body to perform at a high level. Being a runner means having a purposed-based training plan (utilizing a variety of different types of runs) for achieving your goals. Being a runner means heading out the door on days when your body is tired and the weather is poor. Being a runner means rehabbing through injuries and setbacks, not giving up. Being a runner is about pushing your body and seeking continued improvement. Steve, it sounds like you are a runner.
My dictionary agrees with you; "to move swiftly on foot so that both feet leave the groundfor an instant during each stride"; and it has this to say under jog; "to run in such a way for sport or exercise"- clear as mud. I guess I'm both.
Heading out the door when tired/weather is poor - check
Rehabbing through injuries; two knee surgeries, one vascular surgery - check
Pushing my body - kind of check
Training plan - Whoops!
I would add; runs because he/she likes to - check. There is something about that little extra you give at the end of a race or tough training run that I can't describe to my non-running friends and family. Hey, I may not be a runner to some but I agree with Jay. Steve, sounds like you are a runner to me.
Wow -- read the Pearl Izumi bit -- running at the speed of chit-chat? I'll never by their shoes! (just kidding). Very polarizing. So as I read it, I have a plan with a mix of tempo, interval and distance runs (marathon training) which increase over time, I often run when I don't feel like it, I never take enough time off to let injuries heal, and, my feet do indeed both leave the ground occasionally during a run! I guess I'm a runner, though I absolutely do chit-chat during my long runs. Otherwise I would be bored to tears. And I'm slow as molases. Sometimes I feel like a runner; sometimes I don't.

About the Book
Revised, updated, and expanded, the Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Kenneth C. Davis's classic anti-textbook Don't Know Much About History revitalizes the landmark book's ability to revolutionize the way we look at our past. Like Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, Davis's Don't Know Much About History captivates readers with a wry and lucid, comprehensive and comprehensible narrative. With a new section covering the twenty-first century's most significant events, from the Great Recession to Hurricane Katrina to the election of Barack Obama and more, the Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Don't Know Much About History reinvigorates the book's crucial promise of delivering fascinating, insight-driven learning to a new generation of readers.
A new, completely revised, expanded and updated edition of the million-selling New York Times bestseller that launched the entire Don't Know Much About® series
When Don't Know Much About® History first appeared thirteen years ago, it created a sensation. With humor, wit, great stories, and a trademark conversational style, the book brought Americans a fresh new take on history. Shattering myths and vividly bringing the past to life, it spent thirty-five consecutive weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Davis proved that Americans don't hate history -- they just hate the dull textbook version they were force-fed in school. The book became an instant classic, an "anti -textbook" that has sold more than 1.3 million copies.
In his irreverent and popular question-and- answer style, Davis now returns with a completely revised edition that brings history right up to the moment -- covering such topics as the end of the Cold War, Clinton's impeachment, the bizarre election of 2000, and the events that led to September 11.
Incorporating new research and discoveries, Davis also updates and expands on such long-standing American controversies as the Jefferson-Hemings affair, the Alger Hiss trial, and the Rosenberg spy case. And he includes an expanded "civics lesson" that examines some of America's hottest social and political issues, such as the death penalty, gun control, and school prayer.
For history buffs and history-phobes alike, longtime fans who need a refresher course, and for a new generation of Americans who are still in the dark about America's past, Davis proves once more why People magazine said, "Reading him is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had."

What started out as an effort to help the hungry by a small group of auto enthusiasts has turned into a popular annual event in downtown Willow Glen.
Cruise for a Cause started off with 150 cars six years ago, and organizers are expecting more than 400 cars for this year's show on Sept. 8.
Although the name implies a drive, participants in the Cruise just park their rides along Lincoln Avenue and can usually be found nearby to answer questions from the crowds of spectators.
From the beginning, the event has benefited Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties.
"We've raised enough money to help over 30,000 people in monetary donations, and that doesn't include the canned food we brought in and that's over 5,000 pounds," says Jeff Cimoli, a founder and organizer.
Cimoli hopes the monetary donations will jump this year with the "50/50" raffle, where half the ticket sale proceeds go to the winner and half to Second Harvest.
The official start time is 9 a.m., but many car owners arrive the night before or in the early hours to secure particular parking spaces.
"It gets pretty crazy," Cimoli says.
This year, the display is expected to stretch along Lincoln from Minnesota Avenue to Meredith Avenue.
There is no charge to car owners, and the only rule is they must be pre-1973 automobiles. The result is a history of auto manufacturing in the United States, back to the days of the Model A, with a few imports thrown in.
The Willow Glen Lions Club will be selling a breakfast burrito for those who come early and hungry.
A vintage fashion show with clothing to match the different car eras will be presented by Park Place Vintage at 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot of La Villa Delicatessen, 1319 Lincoln Ave.
In addition to the cars on show, attendees will also find arts and crafts vendors.
Providing live music will be the B-Stars and the South City Blues Band.
The San Francisco-based B-Stars combo describes itself as "serving up a hearty stew of honky tonk and hillbilly hits ... with nods to the Country and Western stars of the late 1940s and 1950s."
The South City Blues Band is, they say, "a unique blend of swinging jump blues, jazz/funk blues and old-school rhythm and blues."
Looking back to the first Cruise for a Cause in 2008, Cimoli says, "The economy was bad and Second Harvest didn't have food or money coming in.
"Instead of asking people to come down and drop off canned foods and leaving, we wanted them to bring down their old cars and make a day of it. Shop around on the avenue and boost the economy for the avenue, too.
"A lot of the neighbors and merchants loved it; they saw a 30 percent rise in sales that day."
Cimoli says he hopes the good time continues on Sept. 8 from 9 to 4 p.m.
"We want people to bring canned foods and checks to Second Harvest Food Bank, come down and have a fun day and support the cause," he says.

Our 2012 Emmys Best-Dressed List
If Ryan Lotche inspired you to spend some QT in the pool this summer, chances are your hair color is looking a bit drab (and possibly a bit green) from all that chlorine. To deep clean, de-green, and brighten your hue, use a clarifying shampoo.
We like Ouidad Water Works Clarifying Shampoo, $15, ouidad.com.
Or, use the facial astringent, Seabreeze, $5.49, amazon.com, which doesnt only de-gunk clogged poresit also cuts chlorine and mineral buildup in hair. Add one tablespoon to a cup of water and comb the mixture through wet hair.
Summer-fried hair is porous, making it easier for hair dye molecules to escape. A conditioning masque will smooth strands and plug up the holes in your hair shaft, so the color you have stays put. Plus, well-hydrated hair always looks healthier and more vibrant.

OK, you have your New Year's resolutions. You want to lose a few pounds or be nicer to your colleagues. You crave world peace and an end to hunger in Africa. You want the Sharks to return.
Have you ever stopped to think about the ink-stained wretches who bring you the news? What about us? If everyone got along -- if people acted as they should -- we'd have a lot less to write about.
With that in mind -- and face it, resolutions are really about No. 1 -- here are my top wishes for 2013:
1. George Shirakawa stays in office. Every journalist who covers Santa Clara County politics knows that a Shirakawa departure from his supervisor's job would be disastrous. It's bad enough that he's rotating out as the board president.
With Shirakawa on the 10th floor of the county building, we're assured of a steady flow of embarrassing stories: Another questionable expense put on the county's dime, another flagrant failure to file paperwork, maybe even something sweeter.
A good-government type like Teresa Alvarado, sometimes mentioned as a successor, would end that productive run. It's a risk we can't afford.
2) The pact over Thomas Kinkade's estate collapses. From a journalist's view, one of the most unfortunate developments of 2012 was the peace between the Painter of Light's estranged wife, Nanette, and his girlfriend, Amy Pinto. It squelched a whole line of intriguing stories: Who gets the house? Who gets the art? What about the will?
What happened to Pinto's pledge to clear her name? We deserve answers.
3) John McAfee faces justice. Sadly, the story of the tech pioneer who is a "person of interest" in the murder of his neighbor lost steam when he moved to Miami. It was better when he played cat-and-mouse with the cops in Belize.
The best way to revive a story is to have McAfee extradited to face charges. His girlfriends would exult. His tweets would increase. And the media would rejoice.
4) Bill and Nadia Lockyer get back together. All right, it's not likely. But we can always hope. The soap opera that accompanied their breakup -- the drug use, the lover in San Jose, the political repercussions -- could start again. And our own problems would seem minor.
5) Pete Stark mounts a comeback. I know, I know: I wrote last year that it was time for the 80-year-old Stark to leave Congress. But now that he's really going after losing the election to Eric Swalwell, I miss him. I like a guy who invents an accusation that his opponent took bribes. I appreciate a congressman who won't debate. Good stories. Good times.
6) The San Jose cops give Chuck Reed a ticket for going 26 mph in a 25 mph zone. The last time the mayor got a ticket -- for not signaling in a marked right-hand-turn lane -- he paid the ticket and agreed to go to traffic school. It took the air out of the story.
If the cops upped the ante with a really petty infraction, the acrimony would explode in a deeply satisfying way. Reed might even contest the ticket in court. Who wants to cover a dull case about pensions when you can see the loathing played out over something so simple?
There you have it: All I'm asking is for a few topics to cover. A little consideration for the new year. That isn't too much to ask, is it?

STANFORD -- Whether it proves to be Stanford's final home game or not, Saturday's tussle with Notre Dame and the surrounding events will carry an emotional wallop.
The festivities begin just before the 4 p.m. kickoff, when Stanford honors a senior class that has averaged 11 wins per year.
Six hours later, the Cardinal will find out if it's the home team or road team next week for the Pac-12 championship game against Arizona State.
In between, eighth-ranked Stanford will look to avenge last year's controversial loss to the Irish, although the players say they are taking a more detached approach.
"We can't treat it like a revenge game; that's over," quarterback Kevin Hogan said. "It's still a rivalry, and we're playing for a trophy" -- the Legends Trophy, made of Irish crystal and California Redwood -- "but we can't look to last year for motivation."
The bitter overtime defeat in South Bend featured a whistle from the stands that confused the Cardinal in the red zone and an errant spotting of the ball that cost Stanford several yards on a critical drive.
But the game is best remembered for its chaotic finish: Officials ruled Stanford tailback Stepfan Taylor had been stopped inches short of the tying touchdown despite video evidence to the contrary.
It was the Cardinal's second -- and last -- loss of the season.
Did it prevent Stanford from playing for the national championship? That's unknowable.
Did it provide fuel for the ensuing 13-game winning streak, which spanned two seasons and included a Rose Bowl victory? That's undeniable.
"We felt there were a lot of problems and knew there was a need for changes," guard David Yankey said earlier this week. "There was definitely a carry-over."
The Irish (8-3) aren't as good as they were last year and recently lost one of their top players, nose tackle Louis Nix, for the remainder of the season. But they're happy to engage Stanford in four quarters (and more) of ground-and-pound football.
"You look at (them) as a spread team, and then you watch them," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "They're big up front; they run three running backs at you. They're a good, physical team that plays with a similar mentality as we do."
The outcome has no bearing on the Cardinal's position in the conference race, but it could factor into Stanford's postseason fate.
If the Cardinal beats Arizona State, it would head to the 100th Rose Bowl to face Ohio State, Michigan State or Wisconsin.
If Stanford loses to Arizona State, it would compete against Oregon, USC and UCLA for berths in the second-tier bowl games.
In that situation, the Notre Dame result could serve to bolster or undermine the Cardinal's profile.
"A loss to Notre Dame would impact Stanford's brand," said a bowl official who requested anonymity.
The best way for the Cardinal to avoid the Sun or Las Vegas bowls is to forget the postseason permutations, forget the controversial finish in South Bend, forget vengeance, forget Senior Day -- and win.
"We're pretty good about taking it one week at a time and not looking at the season as a whole," linebacker Trent Murphy said.
"But it's challenging to not get emotionally invested."
Especially this week, against this opponent.

The OSAP online program uses a variety of methods to help dental professionals learn how to implement the CDC Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings. Appropriately, the program setting is a dental practice. The dental team – a dentist, a dental assistant, an infection control coordinator, and a dental hygienist – take turns presenting OSHA regulations and the CDC Guidelines, reinforcing the message that infection control and safety is a team effort and is everyones responsibility. Checklists, flowcharts, and demonstrations illustrate complex concepts to increase understanding of the principles of infection control and safety and show how to apply them in practice. Self-evaluation quizzes are interspersed throughout and can be used as a tool to determine an individuals understanding of the Guidelines and to identify policies and practices that may need updating. OSAPs Interactive Guide to the CDC Guidelines can be used as a stand-alone program or can supplement other infection control courses.
The format of the Interactive Guide to the CDC Guidelines is based on the adult learning theory that recognizes people have different styles of learning and that the different styles play a significant role in retention. Participants can read the content and, if interested, conduct further research on specific topics by referring to the resource list. Audio narration is available for those who prefer to learn by listening. For visual learners, the OSAP program contains photographs, illustrations, and diagrams. For those who like to engage with course content, the program is highly interactive. A glossary provides definitions and phrases used within the course, and a readily available help screen assists with course navigation.
The programs modular format provides the learner with options. Users can go through the course from beginning to end, or access the course map and menu and choose specific infection control topics.

text: Mmm query is running at 302 with the last bit of writer-bio. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions... Dear Agent, Every winter, when the storms go wild, leaving behind a wake of soul-altered bodies, those who remain mistakenly believe the storms are to blame. Sixteen-year-old Emma Blekbyrd learns the reason—people in the skies hunt humans. Big, hefty men with red-irises swept down on their town in flashes of lightning. One of them attacked leaving her with a scar where the lightning touched her. It frightens her; she can feel it feeding into her soul, trying to kill her. She meets Sam, the boy who has to take the captured humans to Eden Falls, an island populated with Souls and Ghosts in need of life. It's the season for hunting humans and the accumulation of souls increases the pressure on the Red-Iris Men to bring in more bodies, which introduces the new law of Eden Falls: Derelicts, humans failed in being taken are now considered its property and henceforth still wanted. Emma is unaware that she's a Derelict. With the scar reducing her life on earth she only wants to do one thing: show the world the truth about the storms. Sam, possessing the body of her classmate, shows her that death does not offer freedom—he has lost the ability to touch, smell, feel and even love—in death or suicide she would automatically be a soul-slave to Eden Falls. Forgetting the bitterness of love and its immutable effects Emma discovers the other side of freedom, love is more powerful than death. Being with Sam forever is her world now. Complete at 90,000 words, EDEN FALLS is a YA fantasy told from two POV's. My novella won first category in the Bessie Head Literature Awards and is due for publication in June. I would love to send you a sample if you are interested. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Recently, I was mowing the lawn when suddenly a van sped through the open gate that leads into our property and screeched to a halt in our driveway. About that same time, I noticed a Chihuahua streaking across our field.
Within seconds, an animal control officer scrambled from his vehicle. When asked what he was doing, he told me he was in pursuit of a dog. I asked him to leave my property. He informed me that he had every right to be there and that the law was on his side. I told him that it was against the law to come on private property without permission from the owner. He told me he could trespass (my word, not his) anytime he was in pursuit of a dog. He said he knew it was lawful to do so because he wrote the law.
It distresses me deeply that our county has ignored the basic rights of its citizens concerning the rights of property owners. Since when do animal control officers write the law giving themselves permission to trespass on private property? This problem goes much deeper. It tears at the very fabric of our right to own property. Ownership dictates that an individual has the right to say what can and cannot be done with said property. Americans are quickly losing their freedoms. If we don't fight to protect the freedom we once enjoyed as Americans, they will soon disappear. Please join me in this fight by voting for those who will stand for our Constitution and against tyrannical government control as exhibited by the above mentioned animal control officer. What we allow in moderation today will be excused in excess tomorrow and our basic inalienable rights will soon dissolve before our eyes.

Oregon's Farms and Ranches
Oregon's farms and ranches: Increasing jobs and opportunities
Providing Certainty for Oregon's Farmers and Ranchers
A voice for Oregon's farmers and ranchers. Greg Walden spent his early years on a cherry orchard in The Dalles. His efforts for farmers, ranchers, and orchardists have led to the inclusion of specialty crops in the Farm Bill, increased funding for agricultural research, beneficial adjustments to commodity programs, and the improvement of conservation and crop and livestock insurance programs.
Stopping federal regulations that threaten to put farmers and ranchers out of business. The federal government is involved in too many aspects of our lives, and new regulations from the bureaucracy threaten to kill farming and ranching jobs every day. When the FDA proposed onerous water quality and food safety standards that could have put onion and fruit growers out of business and prevented small brewers from selling their spent grains to cattlemen, Greg Walden worked with his colleagues from the Pacific Northwest to get the FDA to pullback on rules that didn't pass the "common-sense" test. And when the EPA proposed new Clean Water Act rules that could lead to the agency regulating stock ponds and irrigation ditches, Greg Walden helped to lead the charge to push back on the EPA, leading to the House of Representatives passing legislation sending the EPA back to the drawing board. Our rural economies are under enough stress without even more red tape coming from Washington, D.C.
Passage of a five year Farm Bill. Greg Walden helped to lead the passage a five year farm bill that provides support for Oregon's farmers, ranchers, and rural communities while reforming programs to save taxpayer dollars.
"This reform-minded legislation ensures an adequate safety net for producers, while also reducing spending by $16 billion dollars. We reduce fraud in the food stamp program and we increase assistance for food banks. This plan contains strong support for vital agriculture research that fights disease and pests in everything from onions to pears to potatoes. And it permanently reauthorizes and provides retroactive disaster funding for livestock producers, like those who lost grazing land and livestock to fires across eastern and southern Oregon. This legislation also provides some regulatory relief, both for our foresters and our farmers." – Greg Walden
Highlights of the Plan
· Fully funds PILT (Payments in Lieu of Taxes) payments to Oregon counties through 2014.
· Saves $16 billion in mandatory spending, including reforms to the food stamp program and ending direct payments to growers.
· Provides full funding for disaster assistance for livestock producers, including retroactive funding for ranchers impacted by wildfires across eastern Oregon in 2012
· Reauthorizes and provides strong support for competitive specialty crop research that has a proven track record of a high return on investment.
· Reduces fraud and waste in nutrition programs and helps ensure that those who receive food stamps are actually eligible for them, while providing additional $205 million for food banks.
· Consolidates 23 duplicative conservation programs into 13, cutting red tape and saving taxpayer dollars.
· Requires FDA to analyze the economic impact of proposed food safety rules that would dramatically impact Oregon's fruit and vegetable growers.
· Provides regulatory relief to foresters facing overreaching EPA regulations on forest roads.
· Requires the Department of Labor to consult with USDA and report to Congress on the abusive use of "hot good orders", like those used against Oregon blueberry growers during the summer of 2012 and recently overturned in court.

Tuscaloosa Public Library turning to community for help in setting future plan
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 5:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 5:15 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Consultants are assisting the Tuscaloosa Public Library in a renewed strategic planning process that will soon turn to the public for assistance.
From the director
The main branch has set — and broken — its record for daily use three times this month. The record now stands at 1,570 individual patrons in one day.
The Kate Webb Ragsdale Author Series Fund has grown to $8,700, based largely on a $5,000 donation from the Friends of the Library group, which Ragsdale served as treasurer. The fund was named in honor of Ragsdale, who was found slain in her home in February, and goes toward bringing authors from around the country to Tuscaloosa.
Source: Library director Mary Elizabeth Harper
Starting next month, certain residents can expect to see a survey arriving in mailboxes that will help officials gauge what services and offerings are most beneficial or wanted by library users and non-users alike.
In conjunction with the mail survey, Himmel & Wilson Consultants of Milton, Wis., also will be asking the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama and others to promote an online survey seeking similar information.
The consultants hope to gather at least 2,000 responses in an effort to determine what the community wants to see in the library's three branches.
"If the library really wants to be effective at delivering services, it's going to have to choose what areas on which it wants to focus," said consultant Bill Wilson.
This is the first strategic planning process for the local library system by director Mary Elizabeth Harper, who was hired by the Tuscaloosa Public Library's board of trustees in January 2011.
She said this also is the first time a comprehensive, community-based approach has been used to gather input for a process that will both benefit the library for the next few years while satisfying a requirement of the Alabama Public Library Service.
"We really need to know — as best we can — what the community wants from its library," Harper said.
In addition to the survey, library officials and the consultants are forming a planning committee of approximately 16 members consisting of representatives from local governments, the city school system, universities and library associates and staff members.
Himmel & Wilson also are planning a series of focus groups with different segments of the community.
Wilson said he plans to question groups with similar interests, such as parents of preschoolers, small business owners or seniors.
"Just because the questions will be the same, the answers will be different because of the different backgrounds," Wilson said.
Himmel & Wilson Consultants was selected over five other consulting firms during a competitive bid process. Their contract for the work, which they plan to have complete by the end of the year, is for $47,400.
The firm, which consists of Wilson and his partner, Ethel Himmel, have been consulting with libraries for 26 years. This is their first job in Alabama, making this the 44th state in which they have worked.
Himmel said the goal is to set the future direction of the library where local residents want to go.
"The outcome," she said, "is going to be the community's plan for its library."

WATERFORD - Wolf Creek Local Superintendent Bob Caldwell said Monday he believes Ohio Gov. John Kasich "didn't follow through" with the school-funding plan he recently outlined for school administrators.
"If I hadn't gone up on the 31st and heard it with my own ears, I wouldn't be so livid," Caldwell told board of education members during their regular meeting in the Waterford High School library.
Caldwell was referring to the Jan. 31 meeting of the Buckeye Association of School Administrators at which Kasich outlined his proposal, dubbed "Achievement Everywhere," to address the state's unconstitutional school funding system and even the playing field for students around Ohio.
Caldwell's optimism over Kasich's including residents' incomes and other factors beyond property valuation when determining local wealth was erased when he saw the actual numbers the new proposal allocated to districts. All districts were promised at minimum the same funding they received this year, and Wolf Creek - along with 60 percent of the districts in the state - won't receive a penny more.
In fact, the formula apparently indicated Wolf Creek should see a 42.3 percent decrease in state aid. But the flat funding promise would be kept thanks to "guarantee" funds the administration has indicated it doesn't want to rely on forever.
"That's the part I'm really worried about," Treasurer Rachel Miller said of one day losing the guarantee money, which would total $871,092 in fiscal year 2014 and $910,871 the next year.
Some districts in wealthier areas received increases, including Olentangy Local in Delaware County, whose more than 300 percent hike was attributed to its rising enrollment.
Caldwell said he didn't expect a large boost for Wolf Creek, which is below the state average and median income but has a per-student property valuation of more than $200,000 thanks to the presence of AEP's Muskingum River Power Plant and a free-and-reduced lunch rate below the state average of 43 percent. But he pointed out that districts in much worse financial shape, like East Cleveland City, also would see no increase..
"They're so far below in every category," he said, pointing to the district's nearly 89 percent free and reduced lunch rate, compared to Wolf Creek's 33 percent.
Caldwell said he'd already conveyed his concerns to state Reps. Debbie Phillips, D-Albany, and Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, and Sen. Troy Balderson, R-Zanesville.
"I don't see it going through," he said of the funding plan. "It's going to be a long, hard battle."
In other business, the board unanimously approved making special education teacher Suellen Coleman the local district coordinator in charge of overseeing special education. She will take on the additional duties with no increase in salary.
Caldwell said the move was made because the psychologist who handles those duties for the district through the Ohio Valley Educational Service Center is retiring. He will continue to serve as the district's psychologist at an hourly rate of pay.

Crews from the Metropolitan Sewer District were also called, but they also came up empty.
Dispatchers in Blue Ash, Deer Park, Amberley Village, Sycamore Township, Silverton and Montgomery also received similar calls, but the source was not found.

Winter roads are icy and people still travel even when they probably shouldn't and that's when accidents happen.
Just last week in Iowa there was a multi-car pile up on I-35 due to the snow and blowing, causing slippery roads and poor visibility. People died and others were sent to the hospital.
According to the American Red Cross website, here are some blood statistics.
- People who have been in car accidents and suffered massive blood loss can need transfusions of 50 pints or more of red blood cells.
- The average bone marrow transplant requires 120 units of platelets and about 20 units of red blood cells. Patients undergoing bone marrow transplants need platelet donations from about 120 people and red blood cells from about 20 people.
- Severe burn victims can need 20 units of platelets during their treatment.
- Children being treated for cancer, premature infants and children having heart surgery, need blood and platelets from donors of all types.
- Anemic patients need blood transfusions to increase their iron levels.
- Cancer, transplant and trauma patients and patients undergoing open-heart surgery require platelet transfusions to survive.
- Sickle cell disease is an inherited disease that affects more than 80,000 people in the United States, 98 percent of whom are of African descent. Some patients with complications from severe sickle cell disease receive blood transfusions every month - up to four pints at a time.
Females receive 53 percent of blood transfused while males receive 47 percent.
Sixty percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate, but only five percent do on a yearly basis.
Seventeen percent of non-donors cite "never thought about it" as the main reason for not giving, while 15 percent say they're "too busy."
The number one reason donors say they give is because they "want to help others."
There is no substitute for human blood. It's about Life.
Since a pint is a pound, you lose a pound every time you donate blood.
Anyone who is in good health, is at least 16 years old, and weighs at least 110 pounds may donate blood every 56 days.
In January, the American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Sleepy Eye on Monday, Jan. 14 from 1-7 p.m. NOTE: it is a Monday, not the typical day.
If it was your parent, spouse, child, sibling, grandparent or close friend who needed blood, you'd do whatever you could to help. You never know, the life you save could be your own. Do something now before supplies are dangerously low.
Give Blood... Save a Life!
Thought for the week: When we put ourselves in the other person's place, we're less likely to want to put him in his place. – Author unknown.

Lyn Cote is one lucky woman. She married her real-life hero over 20 years ago and was blessed with two children, a son and daughter, who now have gifted her with an empty nest!
She also has been blessed with a variety of alley cats over the years: Professor, Sheba, Waffles and Shadow. Unfortunately, cats don't live as long as people do, and each in turn has left her side. The last one, Shadow, her lovely Siamese orphan, passed away in 2002.
But recently, Lyn's daughter called to say that she has continued the family tradition and has just taken in her first stray kittenIrving. Lyn is very happy to welcome her first grand-kitty into the Cote family and is planning to visit him soon!
Lyn loves having guests, but can't quite accomplish the perfect "House Beautiful" look. She does have her standards though. If there is a basket of laundry in the living room, it is always clean. She never allows dirty laundry in her living room! So the door is always open to company, just push the books off the couch and have a seat!
Finally, Lyn has been blessed with the career she's wanted since she was a child. She's a writer. So you see Lyn has all she ever wanted: true love, family, understanding friends, a happy home and a rewarding career. She's one lucky woman, and she knows it!

The Stroller: 'Thank God'
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 4:56 p.m.
Ken Staggs of Rutherfordton, N.C., wasn't amused by Leigh Hammond's reaction to Randy Faulkner's comments on another Stroller reader's political leanings. "Randy," says Mr. Staggs, "has an unique style in opposing those who misrepresent the conservative principles. He does this by being provocative, humorous and practical. His responses are welcomed by most. It seems, however, that Mr. Hammond was not as receptive. For Mr. Hammond to compare Randy's comments with those on the extreme edge and insinuate that the other side had threatened assassination of the president was illusive. The entire citizenry is aware that extremes are neither conservative nor liberal but total psychos. The other side might go unchallenged in Washington and tell everyone else that it is their way or the highway because they are the majority, but not here in Randy Faulkner's backyard. Thank God!"
QUIPS LAURA McLEOD of Spartanburg: "OK, Jenny Sanford, boy am I glad you didn't decide to enter politics. I wouldn't want to mix with those crooks in Washington, D.C., either. Stick to your guns."
'OH, THAT': Ben Cromer of Inman imagines the look on the CEO's face after reading a tale about a toothpaste factory where they sometimes shipped boxes without the tubes inside. This challenged their perceived quality with the buyers and distributors. Understanding how important the relationship with them was, the CEO of the company assembled his top people. They decided to hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated and third parties selected. Six months and $8 million later, they had a fantastic solution. Everyone was pleased. They solved the problem by using a high-tech precision scale that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box weighed less than it should. The line would stop, someone would walk over, remove the defective box and then press another button to restart the line. As a result of the new package-monitoring process, no empty boxes were being shipped out of the factory. With no more customer complaints, the CEO felt the $8 million was well spent. He then reviewed the line statistics report and discovered the number of empty boxes picked up by the scale in the first week was consistent with projections, however, during the next three weeks there were no empty boxes. The CEO had the engineers check the equipment, and they verified the report as accurate. Puzzled, the CEO traveled down to the factory, viewed the part of the line where the precision scale was installed and observed that just ahead of the new $8 million solution sat a $20 desk fan blowing the empty boxes off the belt and into a bin. He asked the line supervisor what that was about. "Oh, that," the supervisor replied, "Sam, the kid from maintenance, put it there because he was tired of walking over every time the bell rang."
ODDS AND ENDS: Country fixin's the likes of which you won't find elsewhere will fill lunch plates Sunday at the Woodruff Shrine Club, where members of the Ladies Auxiliary are busy preparing chicken, pork chops, macaroni and cheese, steamed cabbage, pinto beans and dessert.

A story about Pacific Gas & Electric's legal steps in a criminal case and a separate Public Utilities Commission matter provided an incorrect figure in some editions for the proposed penalty it faces in the PUC matter. Two PUC judges recommended a fine of $1.4 billion.
SAN BRUNO -- Days ahead of the fourth anniversary of the fatal natural gas explosion in San Bruno, PG&E signaled it will mount a fierce defense in a federal criminal case linked to the blast.
In a legal filing Friday, PG&E asked U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson to order that all references to the explosion -- which killed eight, injured 66 and wrecked a quiet San Bruno neighborhood -- be stricken from the 28-count indictment filed July 29. On Aug. 19, PG&E pleaded not guilty to the felony indictment.
Separately, the utility issued a regulatory filing Wednesday that stated it would appeal a proposed ruling from two judges with the state Public Utilities Commission that would impose a penalty of $1.4 billion for its role in causing the explosion.
San Francisco-based PG&E, by taking the two actions, has signaled that it plans a vigorous, fight-to-the-finish defense in its court battle with the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco, legal experts said Wednesday. It's also clear the utility hopes to water down the proposed regulatory penalty even before the five-member PUC makes a final decision, probably in December.
"PG&E's defense team is taking a very serious, very aggressive approach to the case," said Rory Little, a law professor with UC Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco.
"This is going to be a very contentious trial," added Peter Henning, professor of law with Detroit-based Wayne State University. "When you file a motion like this, you are not attempting to settle the case any time soon. This indicates it is going to be a knockdown, drag-out fight. PG&E is going to fight over everything."
Still, PG&E faces the real prospect that it could appear callous during a time when it has been seeking to burnish its public image.
In its motion to strike all references to San Bruno and the explosion, PG&E attempted to assure the court that it was well aware of the magnitude of the explosion. Yet in its wording, the utility also suggested that the blast was essentially an unforeseen mishap.
"The San Bruno pipeline explosion was a terrible accident which devastated many people and harmed an entire community," PG&E stated in its motion. "A pipe with a faulty weld was placed in service in 1956, where it performed safely for 54 years. Suddenly, it failed catastrophically."
The utility also argued that no employees committed a crime because they did not willfully and knowingly violate pipeline rules.
"It appears that the grand jury agrees," PG&E stated in its motion. "The combined federal, state and local prosecution team did not obtain an indictment from the grand jury that alleges that any crime caused the San Bruno explosion."
U.S. prosecutors didn't respond to a request for a comment about the situation. PG&E declined to elaborate beyond the filing. But the utility has sought to assure the public that it has learned the lessons posed by the San Bruno disaster and is seeking to improve the safety of its century-old system of natural gas pipes.
Some critics did not agree. "Sadly, this is expected behavior from PG&E," state Sen. Jerry Hill said of the utility's maneuvers at the courthouse and with the PUC. "PG&E doesn't get it. The past four years, they have said one thing, then another, and spoken out of both sides of their mouth."
