OROVILLE -- An Aug. 25 trial date has been set for an Ohio man charged for a Sept. 22 hit-and-run collision in Chico that killed bicyclist Kristina Chesterman of Livermore.
Butte County Superior Court Judge James Reilley set the date on Wednesday for defendant Riley Dean Hoover, 20.
Hoover has pleaded not guilty to charges including felony driving under the influence, causing injury for the death of Chesterman, a 21-year-old Chico State University nursing student. He also faces the special allegation he inflicted great bodily injury causing coma.
The defendant is also charged with felony counts of leaving the scene of a crime, transporting marijuana for sale and manufacturing concentrated cannabis.
In a second case also set for trial Aug. 25, Hoover is charged with two felony counts of money laundering.
Supervising deputy district attorney Mark Murphy said the prosecution will seek to consolidate the two cases for trial.
Defense attorney Clyde Blackmon of Sacramento has not agreed to that.
During a March 7 preliminary hearing, Chico police Officer Todd Lefkowitz testified Chesterman and her bicycle were struck in the bike lane by a vehicle on northbound Nord Avenue. Chesterman had been returning to her apartment after studying at the college library.
Following the crash, she was taken to Enloe Medical Center and declared brain-dead two days later.
While officers were responding to the crash scene, Chico police Sgt. Matt Nowicki responded to a report of a vehicle crash in an apartment parking lot at 730 Nord Ave., about four blocks away. A witness took Nowicki to Hoover's apartment where the officer saw Hoover apparently asleep in a chair. Nowicki reportedly tried to rouse the defendant and smelled alcohol.
Hoover was taken into custody and went to Enloe for a blood draw at 11:45 p.m. Lefkowitz testified the sample found a blood-alcohol content of 0.33 percent, more than four times the adult legal limit.
Nowicki saw a black GMC Envoy sport utility vehicle with Ohio plates in the apartment parking lot. The vehicle had damage that appeared to match the parking lot crash in addition to front-end damage to the hood and grill, including a missing piece.
Experts from the state Department of Justice found cloth fibers from cracked paint on the SUV that were similar to Chesterman's clothes. The missing grill area on the SUV also appeared to match a piece of plastic recovered from the initial crash scene.
During an inventory search of the SUV, officer Winston Capucion found a sealed shipping box containing 2.95 pounds of concentrated marijuana.
Hoover remains in custody at Butte County Jail.

A lot of high school boys' basketball coaches don't give polls a second thought during the season. After all, it's not where a team is now but where it finishes in March that really matters....

Victim of Oakland Street fire identified as 22-year-old
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 10:38 p.m.
Authorities have identified the man killed in a house fire on Oakland Street in the Converse community on Jan. 25.
The Spartanburg County Coroner's Office has identified the victim of the fire as Cullen Jacob Tracy, 22, a resident of the home. The cause and manner of death are pending, according to the coroner's office. There was a delay in identifying Tracy because the coroner's office had to obtain identification records from out of state, according to a written statement.
Four fire departments responded to a call at 3:14 a.m. at 364 Oakland St. in the neighborhood behind the old Converse Mill off East Main Street.
Converse Fire Chief Tim Jones said firefighters arrived on the scene within moments and saw flames and black smoke pouring out of the front of the residence.
Jones said there were seven residents and some pets in the home when the fire started. Six of the occupants made it to safety, but Tracy was unable to get out. Two dogs and likely a cat also perished in the blaze, Jones said.

View the current FEC Index [ Released March 2015 ]
View previous FEC Index releases
Competition among communities for new talent and responsible investment is fierce. The Fourth Economy team has worked on various community and economic development projects across the country. We have witnessed firsthand the ways that communities and organizations are responding to their new economic reality. We continue to learn a lot about how and why competitive communities attract sustainable investment in the "fourth economy."
We are building upon these experiences to launch the Fourth Economy Community Index (#FECIndex). This is not another stale "best places" ranking. Rather, this index will serve as a high level dashboard for community stakeholders to gauge their capacity to attract and retain sustainable investment.
The Fourth Economy Community Index will examine both statistical and qualitative factors at the County level within five areas: 1) Investment, 2) Talent, 3) Sustainability, 4) Place, and 5) Diversity. Our experience suggests that these five areas serve as a foundation for future economic success.
How Does the FEC Index Work?
Our team has divided all of the U.S. counties into four classification categories based on population: Mega-, Large-, Mid-, and Small-size categories.
Key data are collected to include wage and employment growth, education levels, drive times, home values, minority business ownership, agricultural capacity and population density. The measures are weighted based on the level of influence they have on both internal and external investment decisions.

Born on August 21, 1947 to Eugene and Rhoda Winnie in Berkeley, California. Norm attended Kensington Elementary School in Kensington. He graduated from Oakland High School in 1965. He attended college at Chabot Community College in Hayward, California. Norm first worked in the warehouse division of A.G.E. Department Store in Oakland where he met Barbara White who worked in the credit department of the same store. She was the love of his life. They were married on October 21, 1967 in San Leandro. They raised two beautiful daughters; Sherene Gruver presently of Elk Grove, California and Michele Cernik presently of Rocklin, California. Norm passed away on November 9, 2012. He was preceded in passing by his beloved wife Barbara by one year.
Norm and Barb began their marriage as managers of an apartment complex in Oakland. It was here that they started their family. Norm also worked at Sunshine Biscuits and then Lucky's Stores. From Oakland they moved to San Ramon, California where they remained until Norm's retirement from Lucky's as a warehouseman and loyal Teamster of Local 70. It was six years ago, after Norm's retirement that they moved to make Gridley their home.
During their life in the San Francisco Bay Area Norm and Barb were avid fans of the Oakland A's baseball team. Before the game Norm would pack his SUV very carefully with everything anyone might possibly need at a tailgate party. We would enjoy a barbecue with every side dish you could think of because Norm and Barb were the King and Queen of the Oakland A's tailgate party. During these "tailgaters" we were thankful for Norm's famous organizational skills. His car (and house for that matter) was the neatest and most professionally stocked in the world. This was Norm. He thought of everything.
Norm and Barb shared a love for the ocean. While living in the Bay Area they traveled there often. Their home is filled with photos and figurines of sea otters, there to remind them of that special place in their hearts.
Norm loved animals and especially his dogs. His daily routine in San Ramon included piling the two dogs into the car and driving down to the nearest McDonalds restaurant so that he could treat the dogs to McDonalds famous French fries. There isn't one of us who will forget Norm calling out "MAGGIE!" to his challenging Lhasa apso.
He was well known for his barbecues. We can all picture Norm standing in the garage over the barbecue in his shorts and barefoot, no matter what the weather or the temperature. It didn't matter, Norm was oblivious. To him it was always summer.
Norm loved Gridley because it moved him close to two of his favorite places; Chester, California and the California Central Valley. Chester and it's surrounding forest was Norm's second home. To say that he loved to fish the streams and lakes in the area and visit with his friends from Chester and Lassen View Resort is an understatement. He lived to be in the forest. Norm also took up the game of golf on the greens of the Lake Almanor area near Chester. One of his most special spots was Horseshoe Lake, a beautiful and isolated lake in Lassen National Park.
Page 2 of 2 - In Gridley, Norm and Barb lived among the wintering waterfowl that he could hear flying over his house at night. He was a long time member and supporter of Ducks Unlimited. His house was decorated with numerous paintings of waterfowl, a statement of his love of the vision of thousands of geese, ducks and swans flying overhead.
Norm loved his grandchildren. The grandchildren's room was always filled with new toys for their next visit. Norm and Barb saw to it that they knew they were loved.
Norm loved to swim and he loved kids. He could be found every afternoon in the backyard pool but he also stocked it with toys for the grandchildren and for the neighborhood children.
Norm was known as "Pooh" or "Pooh-bear" to his friends, of which he had many. Norm knew how to be a good friend. He had that remarkable ability to be thoughtful to the needs of his friends. You knew you were loved by Norm. He did not hide his feelings.
Norm had a relaxed and friendly manner both to friends and to strangers. He had a large presence, a good heart and a loving spirit. He was easy to like, easy to remember and will be impossible to forget.
Norm is survived by daughters Sherene and Michele, grandchildren Madison of Elk Grove, grandchildren Ryan and Hannah Cernik of Rocklin, brother Robert Winnie of New York, sister Yvonne Marler of Suisun, sister Mary Cooper of San Leandro, sister Karen Perazzo of Pacifica , and sister Carolyn Ziegler of Nevada.
Services will be held for Norm at: Crawford's Barn, 2715 Tiber Drive, Sacramento, California, on Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 2 p.m.

Nearly a dozen people were left homeless on Christmas Eve by a pair of northern Kentucky fires.
Authorities said a fire broke out shortly after midnight at a two-family home on Foote Avenue in Bellevue.
Eight people living in the home were able to escape to safety, but the fire caused an estimated $15,000 in damage.
Investigators said the fire was suspicious.
Another fire started about an hour later in the 900 block of Columbia Avenue in Newport.
Three adults were displaced by that fire, which caused an estimated $80,000 in damage.
Police said that fire was likely started by an electrical problem.
The Red Cross was assisting the 11 victims forced from their homes.
Both fires remain under investigation.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Wednesday
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Recommended reading from around the Web:
Gautham Nagesh (@gnagesh) reports that President Barack Obama, knowing back in 2009 that the government had trouble with new technology, introduced the concept of a White House "SWAT team," designed to swoop in and rescue big projects before they became disasters. But the SWAT team didn't prevent the troubled rollout of the administration's health-care website, even after a federal website in March flagged the project as high-risk. [WSJ]
Sen. Mike Lee, who led the unsuccessful effort in the Senate to defund Obamacare, says Republicans should continue to fight the health law—but also to go beyond opposing the president's policies by doing more to show "we have alternatives – superior alternatives – to unaffordable and unfair big government." [Red State]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "ranting" over U.S. attempts to cut a deal with Iran is making Israel "irrelevant" and "an insufferable nuisance," and is causing a fissure in relations with its greatest friend, writes historian and columnist Zvi Bar'el. [Ha'aretz]
The U.S. government is about to officially label the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram a foreign terrorist organization, giving it the power to block financial transactions by the organization and its members, but may find it hard to disrupt the finances of an outfit that uses such low-tech local operations as kidnapping and bank robbery to finance itself. [Quartz]
The recent Boston mayoral race, which drew $4 million in outside PAC money, broke the state's campaign-finance system, CommonWealth magazine's Paul McMorrow (@paul_mcmorrow) says. On a per-capita basis, outside labor groups and super PACs spent twice as much in Boston's mayoral race as they did in Los Angeles, and six times what they spent in New York's mayoral contest, he estimates. [Boston Globe]
Stanford economist John Taylor (@EconomicsOne) challenges the frequent division of Fed officials into hawks and doves. More important, he says, is whether they favor rules for monetary policy or policymakers' discretion. He favors the former, and says Janet Yellen "is more rules-based then Larry Summers would have been as Fed chair, though she justifies the current deviation from rules by saying these are not normal times." [Economics One]
Too many conservatives, though they aspire to walk in Ronald Reagan's footsteps, have forgotten that immigration reform is the most Republican of causes, says Frank Keating, a former Republican governor of Oklahoma and now head of a bankers' lobby. "We cannot support open borders for trade but not for people," he writes. [Los Angeles Times]
With Democrats sounding the inequality theme loudly, the GOP needs to start crafting a 2016 agenda that promotes a pro-economic mobility, pro-middle-class message now. And Republicans should challenge the notion that the growing inequality gap is the cause of stagnant incomes for all but the rich. [AEI]
Sign of the Times
Minor milestones we've spotted:
U.S. gasoline prices have fallen to the lowest level since February 2011. [WSJ]
Voters in a Quinnipiac poll say 52% to 44% that President Obama is not honest and trustworthy. His previous lows on honesty were May 30, when 49% said he was honest and 47% said he wasn't. [Quinnipiac]
Steve Ballmer's holdings of Microsoft stock have risen $1.7 billion since he fired himself as CEO. [Quartz]
Eighty-seven percent of Americans approve of interracial marriages today versus 4% in 1959. [Washington Post]
Roughly 15% of new marriages nationwide in 2010 were between spouses of different races or ethnicities. [WSJ]
Of borrowers who refinanced mortgages in the third quarter, 37% shortened their loan terms, the highest percentage since 1992. [Freddie Mac]
The share of renewables in total energy generation is projected to rise from 20% in 2011 to 31% by 2035. [IEA]
Google's ad revenue is now bigger than ad revenues of all newspapers combined. [Business Insider]

Crap. I really need to stop doing this at the beginning of the year.
Hmmmm, I guess I'll have to put some actual content into this post.
So it's official, I'm never voting GOP again. And no, that's not a New Year's Resolution, it's a decision I've been working on for a few years now and the fiscal cliff bullshit just made up my mind.I refuse to vote for the assholes who are destroying our Republic. Ask yourself how the GOP House would have acted differently if they were on Obama's side.
As somebody in Ace's sidebar notes, Boehner did not even try to explain his position or why Obama's was wrong.
Seriously, they stand for nothing except power for themselves and I for one am fucking sick of it and I'm never going to aid them in their quest for personal power with no concomitant desire to do what is Constitutional or best for America. They want America to do what is best for them (Just shut the fuck up and vote for Romney, for instance).
Giving in to despair is kind of cathartic. I feel much better. I might even be able to watch the news again.
Post needs hotassery. The world needs hotassery right now.
I dig Kathy Ireland. But then, as I've said before, I'm a titty man and hers were spectacular back in the day. The only time that pisses me off is in Mom and Dad Save the Universe because they don't focus on her in her smoking hot outfit.
I comfort myself with bikini pics of her.
For certain values of "comfort".

For some waterfowl, the Mississippi Alluvial Valley is not a final destination, but a stopover on the way to a milder winter resort—the Gulf Coast. Stretching from the Mississippi-Louisiana state line, west and south to the mouth of the Rio Grande River, the marshes and bays of the Gulf of Mexico were once among the most productive wetland systems in North America. Today, the region's ability to support waterfowl has been severely compromised by natural and human-induced changes that have caused dramatic loss of wetlands and their associated functions and values. The North American Waterfowl Management Plan Gulf Coast Venture calls for Gulf wetlands to winter up to 13.7 million ducks and 1.5 million geese, making it among DU's highest priorities.

A Quote by Betty Sue on systemic, local, evolving consciousness, implicate order, and david bohm
So we have a new axiom: What is most systemic is most local. The deepest systems we enact are woven into the fabric of everyday life, down to the most minute detail.
This is so important for us to understand. We, every one of us, may be able to change the world, but only as we experience more and more of the whole in the present. this is the 'evolving consciousness' that Bohm said was necessary to appreciate the implicate order. Now I see that it's also the cultivation of awareness to 'see the absolute in the manifest', as the buddhists would say.

SAN JOSE -- The problem of homelessness in the Bay Area turned deadly as Santa Clara County officials announced Friday that four homeless men had died over eight days of hypothermia-related causes, including three in the previous 48 hours as a cold snap sent the region into a deep freeze.
Three of the deaths occurred in outdoor locations in San Jose while the fourth happened in a Saratoga garage.
With more freezing temperatures expected this weekend, nonprofit groups added hundreds of shelter beds and fanned out to the makeshift encampments to implore the South Bay's thousands of homeless to make use of them. Local homeless advocates said the deaths of so many people in such a short period due to exposure was unconscionable considering the wealth found in the region.
"I'm just angry," said Jenny Niklaus, the CEO of EHC LifeBuilders, a provider of homeless services. "We have to solve this problem. Even with our cold-weather shelters open, there are still people out there. This is what happens when we allow homelessness to happen.
"People die."
In a late-day news conference, Santa Clara County sheriff Lt. Dave Lera said all the exposure victims were men in their 40s and 50s, and that hypothermia was a factor in the deaths of each. No other personal information was being released pending notification of families.
The first man was found on Thanksgiving beneath a bridge near downtown San Jose. On Wednesday, the second man was discovered on a sidewalk on Lincoln Avenue near a business.
Then Thursday, a third body was located near Curtner and Canoas Garden avenues, and the fourth was found in a Saratoga garage where a door was open, leaving him exposed.
Also Friday, a man in his 70s was found dead in a camper in the 900 block of Charter Street in Redwood City, although the San Mateo County coroner could not determine if the death was due to exposure or natural causes.
The deaths occurred with the Bay Area in the grip of the first serious cold wave of the season. Temperatures throughout the greater San Jose area reached a low in the mid-20s in the overnight hours Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The low at Mineta San Jose International Airport was 30 degrees, breaking the previous record of 32 degrees in 1931. Cold weather records were also broken in Livermore, 26 degrees; Mountain View, 33; and Oakland, 37. There was also a rare dusting of snow on San Jose's Mount Hamilton on Friday evening.
And, more freezing weather is expected this weekend.
"It's just sad and it's unfortunate because these really are preventable deaths," San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed said. "We really need to be getting people into shelter. But the lack of affordable housing has created a longtime problem that now is a short-term crisis."
The deaths put into stark relief just how dangerous it is to be homeless. It's not known how many people have died of hypothermia in the county this year. But EHC LifeBuilders and its community partners will hold a ceremony later this month to remember homeless people who have died on the streets of any cause this past year, and Niklaus believes that number is more than 40.
Santa Clara County Supervisor Mike Wasserman, who has been an advocate of funding programs that help get the chronically homeless into permanent housing, said this tragedy proves that more must be done to address the problem.
"People are dying out there, and it's just wrong," Wasserman said. "I hope this never happens again. You have to understand that every single person in these encampments is somebody's son or daughter, brother or sister, mother or father. And yet they've been just abandoned."
EHC LifeBuilders launched the county-funded Cold Weather Shelter Program last Monday night with 275 emergency beds at three sites. After the four deaths, an additional 375 beds were being added through Monday at the Boccardo Reception Center, the former Sunnyvale National Guard Armory and the Gilroy National Guard Armory. The shelters will remain open for an additional two hours each morning.
Also a room will be opened at the Sunnyvale site for homeless people who want to bring their pets. In the past, not being allowed to bring pets has discouraged some people from using the shelters.
Outreach workers from EHC LifeBuilders, InnVision Shelter Network, the Bill Wilson Center and Downtown Streets Team spent Friday combing encampments -- often located on creek sides in deplorable conditions -- as they handed out blankets and encouraged people to go to the shelters.
Meanwhile, shelters in Berkeley, Oakland, and Southern Alameda County also added beds because of the cold weather.
"We've got a cold weekend ahead of us," Niklaus said. "But the fact is there are more people outside than we have beds. We're doing what we can, and I don't want to lose any more people. This is a crisis."
San Jose/Santa Clara County has the fifth-largest homeless population in the country behind only New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego, according to a recent U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report.
Of the 7,631 homeless people in the area, who were counted in January as part of a nationwide census, 74 percent were listed as "unsheltered" -- meaning they have no place suitable for human habitation to stay. It has been estimated that on any given night, there are 5,000 people who don't have shelter in the county.
Evening temperatures in San Jose were expected to warm up Friday night and then drop back to around 30 degrees on Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service.
"The question we have to ask ourselves is how many people have to do die?" said Jennifer Loving, executive director of the nonprofit Destination: Home. "It's cold outside and people can't survive when it's freezing. That's just a fact. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone."

[size=18]Brett Favre isn't as clutch as you think[/size]
By David Fleming
Page 2
Pushing 40, with a sore right foot, a gimpy knee, two bad shoulders and a stiff neck, Brett Favre bounced from the pocket and ripped a 32-yard game-winning laser to a blanketed Greg Lewis streaking across the back of the 49ers' end zone. And when the tiny rubber FieldTurf pellets gave off their telltale rooster tail, indicating that, yes, Lewis had gotten his right toe down in bounds, the entire football world seemed to celebrate the fact that Favre had worked his gritty kind of magic one more time.
"The legend continues to grow," said Vikes kicker Ryan Longwell.
That's what I thought, too.
See, the past few years, I've been particularly hard on Favre and especially the cult of personality that, despite his horrible play and his mind-blowing egocentricity, has continued to idolize him and protect him like some kind of Norman Rockwell-type national treasure.
After he expertly moved the Vikes 80 yards in 1:29 with no timeouts against a swarming 49ers defense remade in the image of head coach Mike Singletary, word came that this was Favre's 43rd come-from-behind game-winning drive. And when I heard that, well, I wanted to join in with the rest of the world and celebrate all of Brett's wonderful, Wrangler-wrapped, oh I don't know, super Favre-i-ness. Forty-three game-winning drives? Are you kidding me? Jay Cutler hasn't even started 41 games. John Elway, the comeback kid himself, finished with 47. Geez, I thought, maybe I have been too hard on Favre these past few years.
As a tribute, and an apology of sorts, I set out to chronicle each of Favre's previous 42 courageous comebacks leading up to Sunday's Metrodome Miracle. "It was incredible," said Vikings corner Cedric Griffin. "I was on the sideline thinking, 'Brett Favre is known for his comebacks. Brett Favre is known for his comebacks.' And look what we got!"
That's the way this was being tallied, repackaged and sold to football fans, right? That if you thought the winning throw against the 49ers was something, heck, that was actually the 43rd time that scruffy, lovable No. 4 had put a team on his back and, against all odds (and, I think, a fire-breathing dragon or two) carried an entire franchise to glory.
You know, like Favre did during Comeback No. 1, all the way back on Sept. 20, 1992 when, according to The List, he hit Kitrick Taylor for a 35-yard TD pass with 13 seconds left to beat Cincinnati 24-23.
And, just like Favre did during Comeback No. 2 against the Eagles on Nov. 15, 1992, when The List says his magical arm and Zeus-like pocket presence guided the Packers on a two-play drive that covered zero yards before Chris Jacke kicked a 41-yard field goal with no time remaining to beat Philly 27-24.
A two-play drive covering zero yards counts as a game-winning, come from behind, fourth-quarter drive? That's the stuff of cardiac quarterbacking? That's the stuff of living legends and the kind of pure grit that evokes images of playing sandlot football at dusk in the street out in front of my childhood home?
I mean, from all the coverage after the game I was led to believe that Favre has delivered the same kind of heroic, Goliath-sized gut punch a total of 42 other times. Boy was I wrong. Really wrong. Like, Nickelback is a good band, wrong. In fact, you want to know, before Sunday, how many times in those supposed 42 game-winning come from behind kids-gather-round-and-listen-to-your-grampa-Flem-tell-a-football-story drives that Favre threw a touchdown pass in the final 10 seconds of the game?
As much as I wanted, just this once, to be a purveyor (or is it pusher?) of the Favre legend, the truth is only nine of those drives were the result of No. 4's throwing a touchdown in the final two minutes of a game. Nine. "It's hard to even recall all of them," Favre said Sunday when asked about his game-winning drives. "This one was pretty special."
It was. And don't get me wrong, Favre has had some amazingly clutch and gutsy finishes when he did put the team on his back. Like Comeback No. 7, a road playoff game on Jan. 9, 1994, when he hit Sterling Sharpe on a 40-yard TD pass with 55 seconds left to beat the Lions 28-24.
He just hasn't done it anywhere close to 43 times.
Or 33 times. Or even 23 times.
I live near a town with one sports radio station. Ratings-wise this place is usually battling neck and neck with the Spanish-language Christian church broadcasts, but that doesn't stop them from using that guy from the monster truck commercials to declare them to be the unquestioned, ass-kicking, No. 1 sports radio station in the city, city, city, city citycitycity.
It's all statistical gobbledygook. A manipulation of data. And you know how much I love that kind of stuff.
Obviously, though, this statistical myth isn't Brett's fault. He's got nothing to do with it. My guess is he couldn't care less about this kind of stuff. He's not standing over some poor NFL statistician every Monday morning making sure his numbers are correct, like I always imagined Dan Marino would do. And it's not like Favre needs his image or his accomplishments to be exaggerated, either. The guy's a great player. A credit to the game. A first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Quarterback is the most important position in our most popular sport, and in our stats-obsessed culture it drives us a little batty, I think, when we can't easily quantify stuff like leadership, guts, poise and grit. Then someone figures out that clutch play late in games can actually be researched and tallied using fourth-quarter scoring, and the next thing you know some PR intern in Packers PJs formulates a definition of a comeback so broad and vague that, I believe, it's now possible to actually credit Favre for Santonio Holmes' TD catch in Super Bowl XLIII.
I went back through the list, giving Favre credit for game-winning drives in the final 4:00 of the fourth quarter that ended in field goals, TD runs or passes. And that still got him to only 22. Several times, I discovered, Favre has been given credit for "coming back" from a tie score, which, I believe, is mathematically impossible. Even the pure "comebacks" like the one from Sunday are deceiving, since a lot of the credit should go to the Vikings defense for forcing two three-and-outs in the final 5:30 to get the ball back to Favre.
Trust me, though, the statistical spoon-bending on this comeback list only gets worse.
I mean, Comeback No. 37 on Sept. 9, 2007 was a classic: a four-play, 6-yard drive that led to a last-second 42-yard field goal to beat Philly, 16-13.
Comeback No. 39? Oct. 29, 2007, an 82-yard pass to Greg Jennings that gave the Packers a 19-13 win over the Broncos in OT. I understand that this was an amazing, life-altering play for many of you Favre fans. (Yes, I read my emails.) But that doesn't change the fact that it was in overtime with the score tied at 13. It's a hallmark play, no question, one of the all-time great game-winning throws in Packer lore, but it's still not a comeback and, sadly, doesn't belong on The List.
Comeback No. 12 on Nov. 1, 1998, was a game-tying 45-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell with 13:14 to go in a game that ended 36-22. Likewise, Comeback No. 29 on Dec. 14, 2003, was a 40-yard pass to Robert Ferguson with 11:18 to play against the Chargers in a game that ended up 38-21. So Favre is credited with orchestrating a nail-biting comeback win even though the Packers scored three unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
I could go on -- and on -- but the point is these are not exactly John Elway's leading the Broncos 98 yards down the field inside Cleveland Stadium in the AFC Championship Game comebacks -- are they? On Sunday Brett Favre threw his first ever game-winning touchdown pass in the final 10 seconds of play. Not his 43rd.
He now has ten game-winning touchdown passes thrown in the final two minutes of play. Not 43.
He has orchestrated 22 drives that helped win games. Not 43.
If those "real" comeback numbers aren't impressive enough, it's not Brett Favre who needs help.
It's us.

In the interest of fairness, see the articles I posted in the NFL section that show how the numbers for all the great quarterbacks have been greatly exaggerated.

Some teams exaggerate and some teams don't. I think the Dolphins and 49ers are pretty accurate and the Broncos are way off. Almost as bad as the Favre stats. Marino and Montana were that good, Elway and Favre were fictional.
I thought Favre was closer to the high 20s as counted by an unbiased source. It doesn't matter much, it is still about half of what they credit him with.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Favre is NOT a come-from-behind/clutch qb.
Other things people like to say, that are not true:
- "Shaq makes his free throws when it counts."
- "Jarrett Bush is a good special teams player."
- "Jay Cutler is a franchise qb."
- "Mike Shanahan is an elite coach"

Alright that one bugged me. He's a good special teams player in the context of the Packers. Overall, he's probably very average, but an average player on Green Bay's special teams is probably one of the better special teams players on this team. That' more or less what I was getting at. He's going to get cut if Will Blackmon is healthy and someone will grab him as a gunner eventually.
As for the topic. King of comebacks? I don't think there is one because even Joe Montana had bad games and bad moments in clutch situations. But Favre was clutch and there is no debate about it. So was John Elway for that matter. I think maybe because of the national media's man crush on both of those players, other fan bases give them more flack than they would some other guys. Still, I'd take those two over say Peyton Manning or the mentioned Dan Marino in a clutch moment anyday. I'd also take their talent over anyone.
In terms of just pure clutch though, Joe Montana kind of does define it and Tom Brady really defines it in modern day lore as well IMO.

I recall that, however, you said people and Shaq, yes he's huge, but he's one person, not people. :P

What's behind the dissatisfaction?
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 8:06 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 8:06 p.m.
A review of the newspaper's Nov. 7 printing of post-election reactions to the presidential election were not surprising. It was reminiscent of the 2008 presidential election.
Here we have about the same number of people in both Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes unhappy with the majority of American voters in an open-issue election on protecting Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, women's rights, jobs and economic growth.
The president's opponent, meanwhile, had not the faintest idea or plan on how to tackle the problem. "Just trust him."
The unhappy ones' cynical reaction to the predominant vote of the people causes one to ponder: Would it be that they are misinformed about the issues? Is it racism? Is it bigotry? Or some combination of the three?
Enough said.

Lindsay Lohan refused to kiss Charlie Sheen while filming "Scary Movie 5," because she didn't know where his mouth had been.
Right -- that Lindsay Lohan.
Sources close to Lohan told TMZ she was supposed to kiss Sheen three times during their bedroom scene, but refused because of Sheen's wild past.
Yeah, I'll give you a second to stop laughing ...
It's unclear what Lohan was paranoid about, though both actors had to sign releases that they didn't have cold sores.
Apparently the release didn't cover cooties.
Lohan's is telling friends she warned producers ahead of time she had issues with kissing Sheen, who has had considerable dental work done in the last couple years, according to TMZ. They still didn't change the script until it was time to shoot the scene. They supposedly used a body double for some of the kissing parts with moderate success, then decided to write out the tonsil hockey entirely.
Sources told TMZ sheen was totally cool about the whole thing and never voiced any concerns with the rewrite or Lohan's objections. In fact, then he went and gave her 100,000 to help pay off her taxes.
Imagine how much he would've given her if she didn't pretty much tell him he was disgusting.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Fresh off an impressive series sweep of Southeastern Conference foe Mississippi State over the weekend, the No. 21 University of Kentucky softball team is set to play eight of its next nine games on the road, beginning this week with a pair of midweek road contests at WKU and Lipscomb.
The Wildcats will start the week on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET at WKU before a 7 p.m. ET first pitch on Wednesday at Lipscomb. Live stats from both games will be available on UKathletics.com.
The midweek road games begin a stretch of travel for the Wildcats, who will play eight of their next nine games on the road. After this week's midweek travel, Kentucky will return to the UK Softball Complex for a matchup with Tennessee on Friday at 5 p.m. ET. The single-game set will not count towards SEC standings. UK will then travel to in-state foe Louisville on April 3 before a three-game series in Columbia, S.C. from April 5-7. The road trip concludes with a doubleheader at EKU on April 10.
Head coach Rachel Lawson and Co. recently completed a 4-1 homestand with a win over WKU and three wins over Mississippi State. UK is 23-8 on the year with a 5-4 conference record. Kentucky is 16-6 in road or neutral-site games this season. The NCAA announced its first RPI listings of the season Monday afternoon with the Wildcats coming in at No. 8. Seven SEC schools were listed in the top 12 of the RPI.
The series win over Mississippi State was the sixth for Kentucky in the all-time series, marking the fourth time in the last five years that UK has won the series against its SEC foe. Entering the series, Mississippi State had won 14 of its last 16 games - good for the third best start in school history - including a school-record 12 consecutive road wins. The Bulldogs are currently receiving votes in both the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Top 25. UK started conference play by taking two of three games from Ole Miss.
The Wildcat offense was the difference in the weekend series, scoring 15 runs on 24 hits with two doubles and seven home runs against a MSU pitching staff that entered the weekend ranked 22nd nationally in earned-run average. Senior Alice O'Brien paced the Wildcats with a .500 (5-for-10) average with one double, two home runs and three runs batted in. Freshman Nikki Sagermann also hit .500 (4-for-8) in the series with a home run and two runs scored. The other four home runs came from sophomore catcher Griffin Joiner, who had a homer and two RBI, junior outfielder Emily Jolly, who nailed her first roundtripper of the year in the series finale, and a two-homer game from freshman Maisie Steed.
True freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunley was impressive in the series, going 2-0 and not allowing a run the entire weekend. Nunley pitched nine innings in relief Friday night to get the win before throwing a complete-game shutout in game two Saturday, allowing only two hits with seven strikeouts. Junior pitcher Lauren Cumbess went 1-0 in the series with a 2.62 ERA after earning a no-decision Friday night and a win in game one Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits over seven innings.
Joiner was key for the Wildcats behind the plate against MSU, posting a perfect fielding percentage while throwing out all five base runners that tried to steal. The talented backstop caught three batters stealing Friday night and two more Saturday in game one. For the season, Joiner has a .991 fielding percentage with 194 putouts, 18 assists and catching nearly 70 percent of base runners stealing.
Sagermann leads Kentucky in batting average this season at .389 (21-for-54) with two homers and 10 RBI, while Joiner and Cumbess have provided most of the power. Joiner leads the team in home runs and doubles with seven apiece, adding 26 RBI. Cumbess is second in doubles with six, adding three homers and 20 RBI. O'Brien also has pop in her bat with five doubles, three home runs and 21 RBI.
Nunley's solid weekend lowered her overall ERA to 1.91, striking out a team-best 96 batters in 117.1 innings this season. In her 10 starts this year, Nunley is 7-3 with a 1.86 ERA, allowing 17 earned runs with 56 strikeouts. Cumbess is second on the team with a 2.52 ERA and a 6-2 record.
Tuesday will mark the second meeting in the last week between Kentucky and WKU after the Wildcats took down the Hilltoppers 7-1 in Lexington last Tuesday. Cumbess picked up the win, going four innings allowing one run with three strikeouts, while Nunley got the save with three scoreless innings to end the game. UK is 12-7 all-time against WKU, while the all-time series sits a 4-4 in games played at WKU.
Lipscomb is 14-15 this season having played several similar foes to Kentucky. The Bisons defeated Iowa in their first tournament of the season before falling to WKU and Mississippi State in their second weekend of play. Kelsey Cartwright leads the team with a .378 (17-for-45) average with five doubles and four homers, while Kristen Sturdivant has a team-high six homers and 16 RBI. Heather Parker is 4-8 in the circle with a team-low 2.49 ERA, while Tanner Sanders is 9-5 with a 2.85 ERA. Lipscomb won the lone meeting between the two schools, defeating UK 3-0 in a neutral site game in 2010.
Kentucky will play host to the SEC Tournament this season for the first time in school history. The event, which is considered one of the most prestigious softball tournaments in the nation, will be May 8-11 in Lexington. The championship game will be featured on ESPN2, while all other games will be shown on ESPNU.

It was a strong start for Summit High's girls' volleyball team on Thursday at Battle Mountain, but the Lady Tigers' game decayed as the sets progressed.
The Huskies beat Summit (3-10) in five sets, with the Tigers taking charge on the first set, 25-18, but allowing Battle Mountain to take over the next two games, 25-18, 25-12. The Tigers fought for the fourth game, which they won 25-23, but lost momentum at the end, losing the last set 15-11.
Senior Brett Huntley opened the first set with a streak of aces and tough serves, putting Battle Mountain on their heels. The Tigers won between the tough serves and some kills from Kates Raymond and Madi Webster.
In the second set, Battle Mountain took the Tigers' role behind the line to serve up several aces. Summit entered the third set without steam, allowing the Huskies to take off on a seven-point streak.
"Our serve-receive killed us," said head coach Liz Hughes-Waddick. "But so did our momentum. We kept letting them take it, or giving it to them with a mis-serve."
Summit was ambushed again at the start of the fourth set, but "the girls showed what they were made of in the fourth game with a late comeback," Hughes-Waddick said. The team was down 18-11 and came back to win the set, thanks to Huntley's clutch serving, the coach said.
The Huskies and Tigers went point-for-point the fifth game until the 10th point, when Battle Mountain went on another serving streak from which Summit couldn't recover.
Summit meets Steamboat at home today at 3 p.m. at Summit High School. The last time the league teams met was in mid-September, when the Sailors sailed to victory in three sets.

EPA Strengthens Energy Star Requirements for Refrigerators and Freezers
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on June 27 that it has revised its Energy Star requirements for residential refrigerators and freezers. The updated requirements raise the bar for energy efficiency in these products and, for the first time, encourage manufacturers to include optional "connected" features. These features would offer consumers more ways to reduce the energy consumption of their refrigerators and freezers, help lower their utility bills, and better protect the environment and the climate.
Under the new standards, Energy Star-certified refrigerators and freezers will use at least 10% less energy than models meeting 2014 federal minimum efficiency standards. If all refrigerators and freezers sold in the United States were to meet the updated requirements, the energy cost savings would grow to more than $890 million each year while reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking more than one million vehicles off the road. By recycling an old refrigerator and replacing it with a new Energy Star-certified refrigerator, consumers can save from $150–$1,100 on energy costs over the product's lifetime. To earn the Energy Star label, product performance must be certified by an EPA-recognized third party, based on testing in an EPA-recognized laboratory. The updated Energy Star refrigerator and freezer specification will go into effect on September 15, 2014.
Certain Energy Star refrigerators and freezers with connected features will provide consumers new convenience and energy-saving opportunities. These products will allow consumers to view real-time energy use, receive energy-related messages—such as an alert when the door has been left open—and manage appliance settings remotely. Refrigerators and freezers with connected functionality will also be "smart grid"-ready, meaning that with consumer permission, they will be able to respond to utility signals, including curtailing operations during more expensive peak demand times. See the EPA press release and the Energy Star's new specification for residential refrigerators and freezers.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Like the characters he chronicles in If 'n Oof, his new book from PictureBox Inc., Brian Chippendale is prone to wandering. He just returned to his home base of Providence last week following a tour with his acclaimed two-man music group Lightning Bolt, whose sound can be best described as "What if Thor's hammer and Loki's helmet formed a band?" He's also gearing up to hit the road again in another couple of weeks for a brief cross-country book tour with fellow PictureBox cartoonist CF.
But it's Chippendale's artistic travels that interest me the most. Each new Chippendale book feels like an experience miles removed from its predecessor. Maggots is a tiny softcover with incredibly dense pages, drawn on top of a Japanese book catalog so that even the white spaces are filled with visual noise. Ninja is a gigantic hardcover with a smoother approach to Chippendale's trademark "snake-style" layout — you read the first row of panels on a page from left to right, then hop down to the next row and read that one from left to right, then down another level from right to left, and so on back and forth — and a healthy dose of comics he drew as a kid thrown in. If 'n Oof is a doorstop-sized softcover in manga dimensions in which every page is a splash page or part of a spread. And while all three share Chippendale's unmistakable rough-hewn line and love of sci-fi, fantasy, and action — an approach forged in the hallowed halls of the late great Fort Thunder collective, alongside artists like Mat Brinkman and Brian Ralph — If 'n Oof's buddy-movie storyline of two lovable creatures battling their way through a wasteland in search of home (and snacks) is the artist's most accessible work to date. Robot 6 managed to get Chippendale to settle down long enough to talk to us about the new book, how it stacks up against his new webcomic Puke Force, and the tantalizing possibility that as far as If and Oof's world is concerned, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Hi there! I'm Deann. I'm a painter. I traded in my corporate high heels for paint brushes years ago, and for the past decade have had an open working studio located in a once abandoned stove and mattress factory in beautiful historic Franklin, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. I love where I live, and in my paintings I seek to tell the stories of our collective past, the rich history of the South, and to inspire the viewer to listen to our ancestors voices and not just see but cherish our old places and the lives they have influenced. Formally trained at Auburn U and The Chelsea School of Art & Design, I use layer upon layer of palette knife texture that is reminiscent of tree bark and peeling barn paint. I do life with my family on a mini-farm in Brentwood, Tennessee. We have lots of animals including a rooster named Colonel, who keeps the entertainment coming. I hope you enjoy my work, and if you would like to stop by and see me at The Factory, just email me at [email protected] so I can be sure not to miss you!

As we raise our consciousness and activate our lightbody, we realize we are our own creators made, or making ourselves, in the image and similitude of the one Creator. Indeed, since in a hologram the part contains the whole, we are the one Creator. By learning this truly transformative lesson, we return to unity consciousness while mastering physicality. In other words, we achieve god-realization as the light of soul descends into a divine or soul body healed of duality and freed from the instructional cycle of karma.

Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Hundreds of Richmond County students have been possibly exposed to a highly-contagious disease. Members of the Richmond County Health Department have been notifying parents and teachers since Friday.
Here is what we know: Doctors say a student may have exposed teachers and students at a local high school to tuberculosis.
Testing is ongoing, but teachers and parents are being contacted. Letters went home on Friday, and there was an informational workshop on Monday.
Approximately 200 students and 10 or more teachers at Butler High School could have been impacted.
Testing will be offered on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the school.
The Richmond County Board of Education issued this news release Wednesday afternoon:
"There have been several inquiries following the initial announcement that the Board of Health and Richmond County School System are cooperating to complete tuberculosis screening activities at Butler High School. In an effort to keep you informed and provide perspective, please be aware that one student who attends Butler High School has recently been identified as being suspect for TB. Even though the risk is minimal, the most common way to become infected with TB germs is close encounter and significant time spent with a person who is a TB suspect.
Please note, however, at this point there is no confirmation that the suspect student has tuberculosis. Results are still pending.
The County Board of Health, along with the school's administration has identified those who may have been exposed to TB germs in this case. A test known as the TB skin test (Mantoux/TST) indicates whether TB germs have infected a person. According to standard protocol, those staff and students who have spent a significant amount of time with this individual are being notified to be tested. The test is simple. Testing will be offered on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2012, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the school.
It is necessary for the individuals tested to return in two days to have the skin test result read. The test results will be read on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the school.
If a child tests positive, the Board of Health will notify the parents, and their child will need to come to the Board of Health for further evaluation. Notification letters to parents were previously sent in a timely manner.
Unfortunately, a news outlet incorrectly reported this morning that possibly hundreds of students may have been exposed. To our knowledge, that assertion is inaccurate and not based on any sustainable evidence. Instead, out of an abundance of precaution and to ensure a safe environment, students who have been exposed to the suspected student are being tested. Board of Health officials are contacting state officials to determine the proper protocol to follow for fellow bus riders. The student did regularly ride school transportation, but that the time spent may not qualify for suspect testing. However, officials are being as thorough as possible and if different advice is received, such updated advice will be followed. We will continue to work with the Board of Health to quickly resolve this situation. We want to further assure you that we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for both our students and faculty."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Backers of Medicaid expansion in Ohio have started to gather initial signatures to get the issue before voters should the Legislature not act.
Jon Allison of the Ohio Alliance for Health Transformation says a formal announcement about the campaign is expected next week. The Columbus Dispatch first reported the signature gathering.
He says his coalition of diverse advocates would prefer the Legislature pass an extension of the federal-state Medicaid program.
Lawmakers have been trying to find common ground on whether to expand Medicaid to cover more low-income people. Republican leaders pulled it from the state budget in April, and the issue has yet to gain traction.
The House speaker recently said his chamber wouldn't be ready to take any action on Medicaid by October, but more likely by year's end.

BERKELEY -- While Cal coach Sonny Dykes confirmed Jared Goff and Zach Kline will duel this week for the starting quarterback job, Jordan Rigsbee says the line takes responsibility for the Bears' recent offensive slide.
"We feel like for the most part the offense struggling a lot of times is on us," said Rigsbee, a sophomore starting left guard. "It doesn't matter how good your (skill) guys are, if you don't have a good O-line, you can't play."
The Bears (1-6, 0-4 Pac-12), who visit Washington on Saturday night, have slumped sufficiently that Dykes pulled freshman Goff in favor of redshirt freshman Kline in the third quarter of the 49-17 loss to Oregon State.
It's not that simple, said Rigsbee, who took snaps as the first-team center Tuesday. But he's at a loss to explain why the offensive has averaged just 13.5 points and 343 yards the past two games after producing 27.8 points and more than 515 yards the first five outings.
"I've been asking myself the same thing," Rigsbee said. "As a young team, it's easy to have a couple good games. The great teams are the teams that can string multiple good games together."
The Bears have struggled most of the season to run the ball, and defenses may be catching up to their one-dimensional nature, Dykes said.
"If we can run the ball it keeps us out of third down and long and makes the quarterback's job a lot easier," said Dykes, whose team is 10th in the Pac-12 in rushing offense and last in sacks allowed.
Offensive production is down sharply across the board the past two games, which includes a 37-10 loss at UCLA.
The Bears are averaging 12 fewer plays, seven fewer first downs and their third-down efficiency has dropped from 40 percent to 32 percent.
Center Chris Adcock (knee) and guard Matt Cochran (ankle) are sidelined by injury and tackle Steven Moore (strep throat) saw limited action against OSU, forcing less-experienced players onto the field. Dykes said after practice he is taking true freshman Chris Borrayo out of his redshirt year and will give him a chance at guard.
"They're doing the best they can," Dykes said, "but we're losing some of those one-on-one matchups."
Dykes acknowledged there has been a learning curve picking up new run-game blocking schemes in the Bear Raid offense.
But he defended Zach Yenser, the Bears' 29-year-old, first-time head line coach, who came with him from Louisiana Tech and also played line in the same system in college.
"I don't think his perceived lack of experience is having any impact on our performance," Dykes said. "We've got complete, total trust in him. I think the linemen feel the same way."
Said Rigsbee, "We all want to play for him like nobody we've ever had," he said. "It's easy to put the blame on him, but the blame's on us to this point."
Asked if Goff has suffered in that department, Dykes said, "He's like everybody else. He's taken a little bit of a shot to his confidence. It's not all his fault."
Kline guided the Bears to a pair of touchdowns against Oregon State, but Dykes said he'll need to show a complete grasp of the offense to wrestle the job away.
"He ran around and made some plays, but sometimes that's not a positive," Dykes said.
"We were just worn out," he said. "It gave them a day where they're not worried about having to practice football or watching film."

Devastated from the back-to-back deaths of her mother and grandmother, she was caring for her elderly father when she went into an emotional tailspin. Just before Christmas in 2010, with only 7 cents in her jacket pocket and slipper boots on her feet, she left the house, telling no one.
For more than a week, she walked miles during the day and at night slept outside, in a hospital emergency room lobby or on a friend's couch before ending up at the Sunnyvale Armory, which acts as an overnight homeless shelter during winter months.
One day, she headed from the Armory to the Palo Alto Station, intending to commit suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming train. "I was broken. I just didn't want to go on. I was ready to end it then," Giovacchini said.
But she changed her mind that day and returned to the Armory.
The next morning, Giovacchini awoke to see four high-spirited people wearing matching bright-yellow shirts who were mopping the armory's vast floor, laughing and talking the entire time. While people can sleep in the armory at night, they must leave early the following morning. Thinking that if she helped the cleaning crew she could stay in the warmth and safety of the armory for a few more hours, Giovacchini asked if she could volunteer.
That's how she became part of Downtown Streets Team, a Palo Alto-based nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness by putting people to work on community projects in exchange for food and housing vouchers and services.
Since its inception in 2006, about 500 people have received assistance from Downtown Streets Team, which also has offices in San Jose and Sunnyvale. Team members volunteer 20 hours a week -- sweeping floors, cleaning bathrooms, serving free meals -- and receive a weekly stipend in the form of gift cards or vouchers redeemable for food, clothing, toiletries, rent or cellphone minutes.
Wish Book readers can help Downtown Streets Team members rebuild their lives. Each $100 donation will buy a weekly gift card to such places as Target and Safeway so that team members can purchase necessities in exchange for their volunteer work.
The other 20 hours of the workweek are reserved for job hunting. Thanks to the group's career training, mentoring and other services, more than 130 volunteers have moved on to paying employment, said spokeswoman Ann-Marie Meacham.
But Giovacchini, 58, didn't know any of this on that winter day.
After spending several hours cleaning, she was surprised and pleased to receive a $10 grocery gift card and decided to continue staying and volunteering at the armory.
Her humbleness and drive caught the eye of Michael Davis, supervisor of operations for Downtown Streets volunteers. "She put 100 percent into what she was doing," Davis said.
Because of her demonstrated commitment, Giovacchini went on to a Downtown Streets volunteer position with the Opportunity Center, a Palo Alto facility offering services to those in need. She attracted attention there, too, Davis said, for adding a dignified touch by putting flowers on the lunch tables and chatting with diners. "She said she wanted to make people feel like they were in a restaurant buying a meal," he recalled. "She did not want them to think they were coming in and getting a handout. She wanted to create a better atmosphere."
Giovacchini said she got much in return: friendship from other volunteers who are also trying to better their lives and help from the program's staff. "They will help you find a solution to your problem," she said of Downtown Streets' officials. "They give you back your dignity, hope and support."
After landing a part-time job supervising young adults at an emergency shelter in San Jose, Giovacchini was recently able to move from temporary housing into her own apartment in a small, new complex owned by the city of San Jose and managed by Downtown Streets. Still wrestling with personal issues, she has not communicated with family members since walking away from home two years ago.
"They still don't know where I am," said Giovacchini, but she added she is "getting to that point" of being ready to reconnect.

The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) has announced plans for a dinner dance on November 2, to kick off its "21st Century Sustainability Campaign." The "Wild Things Ball," inspired by Maurice Sendak's story and the wild creatures of the Poconos, will take place at the Hotel Fauchere, with a three-course dinner, dancing and a small auction of unique opportunities and items.
According to PEEC's Executive Director, Jeff Rosalsky, the Sustainability Campaign will add new dimensions to PEEC's longtime mission of educating children and adults about environmental stewardship. He said the program will help teach people about PEEC's sustainable practice such as the inclusion of various kinds of sustainable energy systems such as: solar, wind, super-insulation and geothermal that can power and heat buildings at PEEC.
Additionally, Peter Bohlin who is an architect of the Apple retail stores and PEEC's eco-friendly dining hall, has designed a 'sustainable' lodge to be built at PEEC, Rosalsky added.
AM Skier Insurance in Hawley and The Dime Bank in Honesdale are corporate sponsors of the Wild Things Ball. A number of individuals are also serving as sponsors. Tickets for the event are $125 per person and individual sponsorships, which include two tickets, are $500. Everyone in the community is warmly invited to attend and/or support the event.
