OAKLAND -- No criminal charges will be filed in the fatal January shooting of a BART police sergeant by one of his fellow officers after investigators concluded that the shooting was a tragic mistake, enabled by a communication failure during a search of an apartment with a circular floor plan.
Det. Sgt. Thomas "Tommy" Smith Jr., 42, was shot Jan. 21 during a probation search of a 723-square-foot unit at the Park Sierra Apartments in Dublin. The rare "friendly fire" police shooting was the first line-of-duty death in the BART police department's 42-year history, and sent shock waves across the Bay Area law enforcement community.
The evidence surrounding the shooting of Smith by Det. Michael Maes does not justify criminal charges against 26-year police veteran Maes, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said in a statement released Friday. Her statement accompanied a report on the shooting prepared by the district attorney's office.
The DA's report on the killing concludes that Smith entered one door inside the one-bedroom apartment and emerged from another in shadow, prompting Maes to think he might be an armed suspect. The report says none of the officers knew whether anyone might be inside the apartment, and they had not reviewed the floor plan, leaving them unaware of the unit's circular layout.
After both men had entered the unit, the report adds, neither Smith nor Maes "uttered a single word ... that might have alerted either one to the presence of the other" before Maes fired.
Smith was leading a search team of five BART detectives, two uniformed BART officers and an Alameda County Sheriff's deputy when they went to search the apartment around 1:50 p.m. Two of the detectives and the deputy remained outside the apartment during the search, entering only after they heard the single gunshot.
The officers arrived at the apartment to find the front door unlocked, and were unsure whether anyone was inside when they entered shouting their presence.
According to Maes' account, Smith told him, "I can hear somebody. I think there's somebody inside," before he entered the unit. Smith turned left into a laundry room -- though no one on the team knew that the laundry connected to a bathroom, a closet, and ultimately the master bedroom.
Maes walked down the main hallway, past a kitchenette and to the bedroom doorway. He looked into the bedroom; as he looked at the dark closet area, he saw a person emerging with what appeared to be a gun in his hand.
"When Detective Maes saw the 'shadowy figure' with an upraised firearm suddenly emerge from the dark walk-in closet area, he concluded that he was confronting an armed suspect who posed an imminent threat of serious injury or death to himself and his fellow officer," deputy district attorney John Creighton wrote in the report.
Creighton wrote that it seemed possible that Smith's raised arm may have blocked the "POLICE" lettering on the front of his bulletproof vest from Maes' sight in the darkened bedroom.
"Maes said that when he discharged his gun he thought Detective Smith was either behind him near the front door or still in the laundry room area. He said ... 'the last thing on my mind was that there was some walk-through that led to the bedroom,'" Creighton wrote. "Maes said the incident happened so quickly that he neither shouted any warnings nor issued any commands before he shot at Detective Smith."
The Alameda County Sheriff's deputy who remained outside the apartment estimated that "approximately ten seconds, maybe less" elapsed between the team's entry and the gunshot.
Maes fired a single shot that struck the side of Smith's body, between the front and rear panels of his bulletproof vest.
Smith shouted "I've been hit!" and staggered backward into the bathroom, collapsing on the floor of the laundry area. Another officer heard Maes saying, "Was that Tom?" and telling a dispatcher that the shooting was a "friendly fire" incident when he called for help.
BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey said in a statement that the completion of the district attorney's office report allows BART police to move forward with its own internal investigation. Shortly after the shooting, Rainey ordered that residential probation or parole searches must be approved ahead of time by a deputy chief.
Two BART officers who were part of the search team that day were wearing video recording devices, but neither had them turned on at the time of the shooting. Rainey said all sergeants and officers have been retrained in the use of such cameras. Officers are also being retrained, or will be retrained, in executing warrants and high-risk operations, he added.
Maes' attorney could not be immediately reached for comment Friday.
"I'm sure the DA did a thorough investigation," Maes' brother, John Maes, said Friday. "I'd have to go with them and believe what they did was thorough and impartial."
The shooting occurred at the home of 20-year-old John Henry Lee, who was in Santa Rita Jail that day in connection with an armed robbery at the Fruitvale BART station and several auto burglaries on Jan. 15.
The officers were executing a probation search, which does not require a warrant, looking for stolen laptops and other items with Lee's alleged thefts.
Smith was the first BART police officer to die in the line of duty in the agency's 42-year history. The last friendly fire police death in the East Bay was Jan. 12, 2001, when detective William Alberto "Willy" Wilkins was accidentally shot and killed by other officers while on an undercover narcotics stakeout.

- NCAA on trial: Student players seek share of big-time college sports dollars
Chief U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken would seem an unlikely figure to hold the future of major college sports in her hands.
Petite, bespectacled, serious and scholarly, the 64-year-old federal judge is known to be more inclined toward a hobby such as quilting than spending Saturdays tailgating or watching a college football game. As one of her colleagues puts it, "It's kind of ironic. She really is not a sports person."
But to most in the Bay Area legal community, Wilken is nevertheless the right judge to handle a hot-button issue such as the legal challenge to the NCAA's ban on compensating student athletes -- and the veteran judge will decide the case after she completes a three-week trial that is now underway in her Oakland federal courtroom.
A 1993 appointee of former President Bill Clinton, Wilken has earned a reputation as a thorough and tireless judge, handling a wide spectrum of high-profile and often controversial cases in her tenure. She once struck down California's term limits on state legislators (a ruling that was later overturned), has presided over a 20-year-old case that has forced state prison officials to accommodate disabled inmates and was one of just a handful of federal judges to find the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional before the U.S. Supreme Court struck it down last year.
For her part, Wilken considers such contentious issues part of the job. In an interview Friday in her Oakland chambers just after the NCAA trial broke for the week, she said she's "learned a lot" since joining the court.
Wilken declined to discuss the NCAA case, which has attracted national attention, or say anything about whether she's much of a sports fan, joking, "Whatever I'd say about that would wind up in Sports Illustrated."
But she said she's become accustomed to cases that put her in the spotlight.
"You just realize that everything you say on the bench could be in the newspapers," said Wilken, trying to fit in a salad before heading to San Francisco for another judge's swearing-in. "Anything you write can be appealed, so I'm used to being on the public record regardless of what kind of case it is."
Sen. Barbara Boxer recommended Wilken for the federal judgeship, after she'd spent a decade as a magistrate judge. At the time, Wilken was a rarity because she was one of the few federal judges in the region to have specialized in criminal defense work before joining the bench, including three years as a federal public defender.
Cris Arguedas, an East Bay lawyer and chair of Boxer's judge selection committee at the time Wilken was selected, said Wilken has turned out to be as expected, "making tremendously important decisions, and every one of them has been well thought out ... and well-respected."
What's an ESPY?
During the NCAA trial, even with prominent athletes parading through her courtroom, Wilken has been all business, demonstrating her trademark Minnesota-bred stoicism. Known for a wry sense of humor, Wilken has interjected a few one-liners when lawyers wander off-track or get into tiffs with hostile witnesses.
But Wilken also made it clear she had little patience for lawyerly gamesmanship in the trial, warning lawyers not to interrupt her and at times taking over direct questioning of witnesses to explore her concerns about the case against the NCAA. When former University of Alabama star Tyrone Prothro testified that a famous catch won an ESPN "ESPY" award for best play of 2006, Wilken didn't hesitate to interject: "What's an ESPY?"
And while legal experts say it's unclear how she'll rule in a case that alleges the NCAA's ban on paying college football and basketball players violates federal antitrust laws, the judge has repeatedly rejected the organization's efforts to sidetrack the trial in decisions upheld by a federal appeals court.
Rory Little, a Hastings College of the Law professor, said that whatever Wilken decides in the NCAA case, it will be "careful, nuanced and detailed."
"No insincerity"
"She's got a low-key personality," said Little, a former federal prosecutor. "But she doesn't make any mistakes."
Wilken, who got her undergraduate degree from Stanford and law degree from UC Berkeley, will step down as chief federal judge at the end of this year, choosing not to fill the full seven-year term to give Judge Phyllis Hamilton, a close colleague, a chance to take over the job.
Wilken, a lifelong Democrat married to former civil rights lawyer and now Alameda County judge John True, also is taking semi-retired, or "senior," status, a move that allows President Barack Obama to fill her seat before he leaves office.
"There is no insincerity in Claudia Wilken," Little said. "You get exactly what you see."

2.7-2 Bifurcation of Liability and
Revised to January 1, 2008
In a general sense, a civil trial such
as this has two issues: liability and damages. I have previously told you that
I have bifurcated this trial, that is, cut this trial into two parts, such that
you have heard only the evidence that relates to liability and you will decide
that issue first. I will be instructing you only on the law that applies to the
issue of liability at this time. You must not let speculation as to the
plaintiff's claims of damages enter your deliberations on the issue of
liability. If you find that the plaintiff has proven one or more of the
liability claims, then we will proceed to trial on the issue of damages. If you
find that the plaintiff has not proven any of the claims of liability, then this
case is over because the issue of damages arises only if a defendant has been
proven to be liable.
The trial court judge may order a
trial bifurcated at his or her discretion, and bifurcation will affect the
instructions that should be given to the jury at each step of the proceedings.

BRECKENRIDGE - Judge Mark Thompson sentenced Wesley Wilson, the driver who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide after he hit and killed a pedestrian on a Keystone crosswalk in March, to six years in community corrections Friday.
Wilson, 20, was found to be under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time of the crash that killed 33-year-old Mircea Basaram, of Romania, on Saint Patrick's Day.
"In the eyes of this court justice is best reflected in compassion," Thompson said before delivering the sentence. "There is a need for punishment, but there is also a need for restoration."
A pre-sentencing investigation and prosecutor Anne Francis called for Wilson to receive an eight-year prison sentence.
Community corrections is a program under the umbrella of the Department of Corrections, which restricts freedom, but does not put offenders behind bars. The facilities combine counseling, family member support and a system of incentive-based privileges to reintegrate offenders into the community.
The sentencing followed nearly four hours of testimony from Wilson's friends and family, arguments from the attorneys, Wilson's own statements about the incident and the comments of Basaram's mother, who addressed the court with the help of a translator via Skype from Romania.
"I should have never got into my car that day," Wilson said during his allocution. "I never should have decided to drink that day, and I have to pay for that."
In asking for a reduced sentence, Wilson's attorney, J.B. Katz, noted that he stopped immediately after hitting Basaram, got out of the car and attempted to help him and cooperated with the police investigation.
Wilson's family called him a loving person, and described his grief and guilt over the incident.
Wilson has no previous adult criminal
Maria Basaram told the court her son was a handsome, athletic young man who had plenty of friends, but did not drink alcohol or use marijuana.
"Nobody can appreciate the pain in my soul," she said. "If Wesley wouldn't have been drunk while driving, that stupid accident wouldn't have happened and Mircea would have arrived home."
Both sides also talked about the design flaws of the crosswalk where Wilson hit Basaram, which crossed a four-lane highway with a 45-mph speed limit but had only limited markings to warn drivers to watch for pedestrians. Locals have reportedly complained about the intersection for years.
Since the accident that killed Basaram, the Colorado Department of Transportation has undertaken a series of improvements to make the crosswalk more visible to drivers.
Thompson, who himself became emotional as he was making his final statements, said the case was "without question the most difficult" he had faced.
"Nothing this court can say or do will assign enough value to Mircea's life," Thompson said. "That value rests in the memories that Mrs. Basaram must carry. And, perhaps more importantly, that value rests in the hands of Mr. Wilson. On March 17, you unknowingly held Mircea's life in your hands. Today, you hold the value of his life. Mr. Wilson, you must give that value new life to do something, to bring some meaning to this tragedy. By your actions you have lost your right to be free, but you have not lost your humanity, your dignity or your hope."
Mircea Basaram was raised the only child of a single mother. His father was also killed in a motor-vehicle accident when he was 5 years old.
He had recently completed law school in Romania. He had taken a job as a steward on a cruise ship and was visiting Keystone to ski as part of a world tour. He planned to return to Romania a few days later and begin practicing law.

The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall and the Kotel HaMa'aravi or Kotel in Hebrew, is the section of the western supporting wall of the Temple Mount, and is considered the sole remnant of the Second Temple following its destruction in 70 C.E.
Located in the Old City of Jerusalem, the Western Wall, built around 19 BCE by Herod the Great, has become the most sacred spot in the Jewish religion. It was returned to Jewish control during the 1967 Six-Day War, when Israeli troops captured the Old City from Jordan. A large plaza in front of the wall where Jews and visitors could congregate and pray was immediately paved.
Over the decades the wall has been visited by millions of tourists and pilgrims and is often on the itinerary of foreign heads of state who visit Israel. One of the customary traditions for visitors to the Western Wall is to place a small written prayer into one of the cracks in the Wall. It is also where many new IDF conscripts pledge their allegiance to the army and to Israel.
The Western Wall's religious and historic importance to the Jewish people combined with its extreme proximity to Muslim holy sites on the Temple Mount, primarily the Al-Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock, has been the trigger for many outbreaks of violence since 1967.

BEAVER CREEK, Colorado - The Vilar Performing Arts Center hosts the Colorado Symphony tonight for "Giants of Classicism," which includes Haydn's lyrical and virtuosic cello concerto featuring the Symphony's principal cellist, Silver Ainome. Paired with Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major will be one of Mozart's most greatly admired works, his Symphony No. 40, which has been called a work of passion, tragic in tone and intensely emotional.The show is at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, and tickets are $55.The region's only full-time professional orchestra, the Colorado Symphony embraces a tradition of musical excellence by presenting a diverse array of symphonic performances throughout the year. Originally established in 1989 as the successor to the Denver Symphony, the Colorado Symphony thrives on a spirit of collaboration among musicians, staff, trustees and the community. The Colorado Symphony performs in Boettcher Concert Hall and on location throughout the state and region utilizing small ensembles to the full-sized orchestra. According to a recent review from the Denver Post, "The orchestra mastered the mighty symphony in an utterly absorbing performance that was as exhilarating for the audience as it must have felt to the performers." Appointed principal cello of the Colorado Symphony in 2009, Silver Ainome performed throughout Europe before moving to Denver. Ainome, who began his cello studies in 1988 at Tallinn Music High School in Estonia, recently worked as a freelance musician throughout Europe including positions as guest-leader of the Helsinki Philharmonic in Finland and work with London's Philharmonia Orchestra.In 1992, at the age of 8, he moved from Estonia to Finland, where he pursued his musical training at Turku Conservatory with Jukka Perksalo and at the Sibelius Academy with Hannu Kiiski and Arto Noras. In 2006-07 he continued his studies in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Razumovsky Academy with Oleg Kogan.Awards that he has received at national and international competitions include second prize at the International Competition for Young Cellists, main prize and four special prizes at the contest festival "Con Brio 2000," first prize in the string category at the "Verdi Note" competition in Rome, fifth prize at Isang Yun International Music Competition in South Korea, third prize at Witold Lutos_awski International Cello Competition in Poland (2005) and sixth prize at Paulo International Competition in Finland (2007). Additionally, he has given recitals and performed as a chamber musician on numerous occasions throughout Europe."It's a true honor to welcome principal celloist Silver Ainome, resident conductor Scott O'Neil and the entire Colorado Symphony family to our stage on March 5," said Kris Sabel, executive director for the Vilar Performing Arts Center. "We're lucky to have a leading symphony orchestra right here in our state and even more fortunate to have them perform in such an intimate venue as the Vilar Center. It's going to be an incredibly memorable evening."Tickets for the performance are $55 and are available at www.vilarpac.org or by calling the VPAC box office at 970-845-TIXS. The Vilar Performing Arts Center is a project of the Vail Valley Foundation. For more information on the Vail Valley Foundation, visit vvf.org.

Oncology treatment options have expanded considerably in the past decade, particularly to include biologic-based molecules. Classical small-molecule chemotherapeutic agents are generally nonspecific (i.e., they bind to and affect other physiological targets) and may cause significant side effects. In contrast, targeted monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy generally is very selective and has a milder side-effect profile, although rare but serious adverse events can occur, including infusion reactions, thrombocytopenia, cardiac arrest, acute renal failure, immune toxicity, pulmonary toxicity, and susceptibility to latent viral infections (1).
Antibody–drug conjugatesIdeal therapeutics would combine the specificity of antibody-targeting with the potency and pharmacokinetics of small-molecule drugs, an idea that has spawned the field of antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). These constructs combine an antibody against a target of interest with a compound that adds interesting pharmacology, such as cytotoxicity. However, the theory of using mAb targeting to deliver a lethal drug payload to tumor cells gives rise to complex technical challenges when put into practice. The mAb must be conjugated to a potent cytotoxin with a linker that is stable enough not to release large amounts of the drug into systemic circulation, but labile enough to release the cytotoxin upon internalization by the targeted cell. The manufacturing process to couple the cytotoxin onto the mAb must produce an ADC that maintains recognition of the target after conjugation. The number of conjugated cytotoxins per intact mAb, as well as the level of unconjugated mAb, must be controlled to reduce batch-to-batch variability.
In contrast to the current success by T-DM1, the only approved ADC, Mylotarg (gemzutumab ozogamicin), was voluntarily removed from the market by Pfizer on June 21, 2010, after postapproval clinical trials in acute myeloid leukemia, a bone-marrow cancer, revealed safety and efficacy issues (8–12). Mylotarg is an ADC chemotherapy agent composed of a recombinant, humanized IgG4, kappa antibody against the CD33 antigen, conjugated to a cytotoxic antitumor antibiotic, N-acetyl gamma calicheamicin dimethyl hydrazide (DNA-disrupting agent), through the acid labile acetylphenoxy butanoic linker (12). Mylotarg is a heterogenous mixture of approximately 50% mAb with two to three cytotoxin moieties per mAb and 50% unconjugated mAb (10, 12). This ADC was never approved in Europe and did not extend survival rates, but showed a higher fatal toxicity rate than chemotherapy alone (8, 9, 11, 12).

Before freshmen lawmakers were sworn in, two legislative veterans introduced bills aimed at requiring greater disclosure of political contributions.
Democratic Sens. Ted Lieu of Torrance and Leland Yee of San Francisco on Monday introduced SB 2 and 3 in response to what the state Fair Political Practices Commission calls $11 million in money laundering by out-of-state interests pushing one California ballot proposition and opposing another in the days leading up to the Nov. 6 election.
Current law requires the disclosure of donors only when the money is given to a nonprofit for the purpose of becoming a campaign contribution.
The bills, still being finalized, will aim also to increase disclosure of mass mailings and hike fines for failing to file required information about campaign contributions.
Campaigns and elections should be fully transparent.
Money being used by candidates and special interests trying to influence elections should be known as the funds flow in - be they from individuals, unions, corporations or nonprofits - not weeks or months after the fact, if ever.
The U.S. Supreme Court said in its misguided 2010 Citizens United decision that corporations and unions have free speech rights in the political process.
Fine, then by extension, the people have a right to know exactly who's doing the talking.

I love Agave Nectar for it's light, fresh fragrance. Unfortunately, every time I find a Thymes fragrance I truly love, it is discontinued. I am then reduced to searching for the product online and usually find some for a while on eBay. The first time this happened was with a product line called Apparatif. Manufacturing stopped soon after I first discovered Thymes and now it is happening with Agave Nectar.
Thymes products are really wonderful and I have enjoyed them for about 15 years.

Awesome soap!
Awesome soap! Lasts much longer than other soaps, great lather, moisturizing and smells great.
heavenly bath soap
I absolutely love this soap! I had bought one to try it out and loved it so much I ended up buying 10 more so I wouldn't run out. Now it is my special soap for long luxurious baths, and my husband gets in trouble for stealing it from my bathtub. The scent is refreshing and invigorating as citrus can be, along with the sweet undertone of agave, reminds me of Hawaii or the tropics!
Intoxicating fragrance
My greatest fear is they will stop making what is now my favorite fragrance. I love the bar soap and the room spray. The soap is foamy and lasts a long time. When I smell the fragrance in the shower I want to linger awhile.

About the Book
From the editor of the New York Times' popular "Modern Love" column, the story of love from beginning to end (or not).
Love. We want it. We need it. We pay it homage with songs and poems and great works of art. And when we lose it, there's no pain as intense or excruciating. For centuries we've been trying to figure it out, control it, or just get better at it. As the editor of a column about love for the New York Times, Daniel Jones reads thousands of stories about people's intimate relationships—the ones that soar, crash, or hum along, from the bizarre to the supposedly "normal." It's possible that he's read more true love stories than anyone on earth. In Love Illuminated, he teases apart this mystifying emotion that thrills, crushes, and sustains.
Drawing from the 50,000 stories that have crossed his desk over the past decade, Jones explores ten aspects of love—pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, trust, practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom—and creates a lively, funny and enlightening journey through this universal human experience that jangles the head and stirs the heart.
Love is unrivaled in its power to thrill, crush, and sustain. No subject in human history has been more thoroughly examined. And yet, as desperately as we have tried to unlock love's mysteries—to "decode" it through scientific experimentation, philosophical inquiry, and even mathematical algorithms—do we really understand love any better today than Shakespeare did nearly five hundred years ago?
As the editor of a column about love in the New York Times, Daniel Jones has been privy to the deepest personal revelations of tens of thousands of strangers. Deluged with stories of scheming cheaters, hopeless romantics, racy texts, and fierce devotion, he has spent much of the past decade wading through love's muck and majesty—and has taken plenty of notes along the way. In Love Illuminated, he uses his unique perspective to tease apart life's most mystifying subject.
Drawing from the 50,000 tales of love that have crossed his desk, Jones traces the arc of human relationships through ten phases, starting with the pursuit, destiny, vulnerability, connection, and trust of new love, and then turning to the practicality, monotony, infidelity, loyalty, and wisdom of love matured. With empathy and wry humor, he takes readers on an enlightening journey through the highs, lows, and enduring unknowns of this universal experience that rattles the head and stirs the heart.
As Jones explains, "Love is about curiosity, not certainty. It's about tossing oneself overboard into the wild seas, not remaining safely on deck."
In Love Illuminated, he pulls us into the depths of love in all its contradictions and complexities, offering glimmers of understanding along with the comforts of shared experience.

Dquay Means is actually Pittsburgh rapper, Quay Meanz. Here are 2 sites that link him to his good friend, Wiz Khalifa.
Dquay Means is actually Pittsburgh rapper, Quay Meanz. Here are 2 sites that link him to his good friend, Wiz Khalifa.
Ain't they all rappers? Lol
The one thing that is concerning about this is Wiz is known for his drug usage. So was Adams. The white dude looked like a meth addict. Hope there's no connection. Sometimes the Rooney's are ok with potheads, sometimes they're not. Given that we don't have a backup T, I'm sure we'd be ok with it this time.
This is just weird. I wish we knew what really happened. I just keep going back to the thought, why would you try and carjack a guy that big if it was random? Wouldn't you just wait for an easier target? If Adams wanted to resist, he may have got shot, but he may have also put some major hurt on these 3 knuckleheads.
Are his other felony convictions publicity stunts as well?Means' criminal record includes previous convictions on charges of receiving stolen property, drug possession, fleeing police and disorderly conduct. Because he has a prior felony conviction, he is not legally allowed to own a gun.

Come on!!
Adams told police that he left Cambod-Ican Kitchen and was standing by his truck shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday in Pittsburgh's South Side when he was accosted by three carjackers, one armed with a knife and another with a handgun. Means demanded the truck, allegedly saying "I want your car or I'll shoot you in the face and kill you in front of everyone," according to the complaint. Adams said he did not have his keys, and one man punched him before another man stabbed him twice......

Super Bowl 2014: The Last Gasp of Football
Let us assume that if you're bothering to sit down and watch the Super Bowl you know a little about football, or at least more than the friend who incredulously asked this Fixer, "Denver and Seattle have teams?" Let's assume that if you're staking out your Sunday night to watch a ball game, you care a little more than simply wondering what song Bruno Mars is going to play with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at halftime. (It will probably not be side one of a legendary prog-rock band's magnum opus, unfortunately.)
There are facts to preoccupy oneself with, though all the trivia doesn't compare to the show of yelling "Come on!" after every penalty like there's a real bone to pick. There is etiquette to keep in mind, though it's not that much more complicated than the always relevant maxim, "Don't be an idiot." Alas, it's looking like a mostly fine day in New York City, temperature-wise, save for a chance of precipitation in the evening—a forecast that likely puts the thrill of a super-cold Super Bowl on the backburner, save for a surprise return of the polar vortex. That takes small talk such as "Did you know: Peyton Manning is 7-7 in his career when the temperature is between 30 and 39 degrees?" and "Did you know: It's horrible out there and everyone wants to die?" off the table, to say nothing of the potential viewing experience. "Perversely but undeniably, we enjoy watching football players get punished. (We excuse it by pointing to the millions of dollars they make, but this doesn't absolve us of our moral meagreness.)," writes the New Yorker's Ian Crouch. "And there is nothing more obviously punishing than having to run, and jump, and catch, and hit, and fall to the cold ground on a winter's night. It's what's given stadiums like Soldier Field and Lambeau Field their great mystique, and some of their most iconic moments, and why we fetishize all those images of hot breath escaping from players' face masks as they line up for another brutal play."
If the potential for such gimmickry was a storyline leading up to the game, let there be no doubts that the football itself should stand on its own. The best defense in the league versus the best offense in the league (and possibly all-time)? Banged-up tactical surgeon versus the loud-mouthed news kids on the block? Peyton Manning is listed as probable, but come on. Wild horses could actually not carry him away, gimpy neck or not. The Broncos will worry more about Knowshon Moreno, whose health could force them to turn to their reserves. That isn't the end of the world, but not ideal considering Seattle's spryness and reliance on a tactic that boils down to stick with the other guy, always. Having any number of players who might be described as the best at their position is helpful, too. "Their nickname, the Legion of Boom, is well-earned, but it obscures the fact that they play a beautiful game," Sports on Earth's Gwen Knapp writes of Seattle's back four. "The cornerbacks mirror receivers' moves so precisely, it sometimes seems as if their team is calling the plays. If the cameras don't regularly isolate on the Seattle pass coverage, providing replays of any great match-up regardless of where the ball goes, (Fox) will be robbing its audience."
That this could end up not mattering very much to Manning is a testament to his late-period revival, which earned MVP honors—the fifth such time—over the weekend. The benefits of at least one strategy will be mitigated by his style. "The alternative to trying to fool Manning, and therefore risking being caught out of position, is to simply line up and play base defense," writes Grantland's Chris B. Brown. "But unless a defense has better players than Denver—unlikely against an offense featuring five players who scored 10 or more touchdowns—that's not a great answer, either. There's no such thing as a defense without weaknesses, and Manning knows them all."
All of the pre-game analysis and predictive knowhow and schematic familiarity only goes so far, of course. The real fact is that conventional wisdom can easily go awry. Surely the 18-0 New England Patriots believed they were going to steamroll the New York Giants; surely the Kurt Warner Rams thought the same of the Patriots. "It would not be a Super Bowl without hype, and there's so much of it, to the point the buildup can resemble a centrifuge of meaninglessness (most evident at Super Bowl media day, where you can find reporters in costume, and, somehow worse, reporters interviewing reporters in costume)," writes the Journal's Jason Gay. What we have is each other, and the last gasp of football before the long off-season. Treasure it well.
Join the Journal's liveblogging crew at 6p.m., where we'll be covering the theatrics before, during and after.

An Interview with Ben Hewitt: Author. Farmer. Instigator.
June 4, 2012 in Author Series, Community Resources, Uncategorized
Author Ben Hewitt writes on everything from how local foods can revitalize working-class communities, to the relationship between humans and the bacteria they consume, to the power of questioning what we're often told is not up for discussion. I recently had an opportunity to connect with Ben (Making Supper Safe, The Town That Food Saved and, upcoming, A Conscious Economy). My interview with him here touches on a number of thought-provoking subjects. I had heard him speak at the PASA Annual Meeting earlier this year and it was at this event the subject of Restorative Agriculture came up. I found this to be a very intriguing framework for thinking about agriculture and was so pleased when Ben agreed to speak to me on this and other topics relevant to creating sustainable communities.
Ben, when I've heard you speak about your first book, The Town That Food Saved, you often refer to your intrigue about a local foods movement that was stirring in the small town of Hardwick, Vermont. Prior to that town's revitalization, you had been of the thinking that the "locavore" movement was for more affluent communities. As this is an assumption many of us have, can you talk more about this?
I like to say that the locavore movement suffers from "Al Gore-ism." Which is to say, it is perceived by many as something for the Prius-driving, liberal elite. This is mostly because of cost, but also I think because of the language that is often attached to local foods, with words like "artisanal," "terroir," and sometimes, even "organic." I don't think this sort of language helps the cause at all. For instance, we make home-smoked bacon from our organic, artisanal, free-range, pastured pigs. I smoke it in a hole in the ground covered up with some rusty tin, and I call it "Ben and Penny's White Trash Bacon." And our working class neighbors love it and want more, more, more. If I called it "Ben and Penny's Organic, Artisanal, Free Range Bacon," would they like it as much? Maybe… but I sort of doubt it.
That didn't really answer your question, but it gets to one of the roots of the problem, which is the misperception that this food is expensive, because of course the true cost of the so-called food provided by the dominant food industry is far greater than the price tag attached to it. Still, the reality is that most folks are not inclined or simply don't care to consider these externalized costs such as health care, environmental degradation, and subsidies.
The tragic irony is, of course, that if there's any posturing or presumption in the realm of food, it's primarily in the dominant food industry and the cultural lie that we can truly nourish our population on so-called "cheap food," while using tremendous quantities of heavily-subsidized non-renewable resources to do so. Never mind what we're doing to the environment.
One concept many people have been interested to hear about is your promotion of the agricultural framework: Restorative Agriculture. How does this differ from Sustainable Agriculture, if it does?
I was introduced to the concept of restorative agriculture by a friend, who talked about it in relation to forestry practices. I liked it immediately, because I think the term sustainable agriculture is flawed in a number of ways. First, the root of sustain is "maintain," and frankly, I think we can do much, much better. Second, I think it fails to adequately address all the potential benefits that can come of small-scale, regionalized agriculture, which has the unique capacity to restore health, restore the environment, restore community vitality, and restore local economies. Among other things.
It's a reality we subsidize industrial agriculture, do you have strategies for how can we start to decentralize our food systems?
I really believe it needs to happen at a grassroots level. That's not to say there's no role for State and even Federal government and agencies, only that we shouldn't wait around for them to come to their senses. I also think that we need to insist that we be granted the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, none of which we can have in full if we can't nourish ourselves with the food of our choosing. If it means breaking the law to codify this right, so be it.
I know you agree, as a nation, we waste a lot of food as well. How can we change this?
Part of the problem is that we simply don't revere food for what it is: the very nourishment that allows us to live. Think about that for a second; that's pretty serious. I like to say that unless you're paying for sex, it's the most intimate form of commerce you'll ever engage in. I mean, you're putting it into your body. So, for starters, simply acknowledging how important it is and what a gift it is would go a long way. Second, we need to produce less food, not more. We produce so much food, and have such a glut of calories in this country, it's no wonder we don't value it. Here's a sad piece of commentary on the current state of affairs in America, not solely relating to food: In 1970, we produced somewhere in the range of 3100 calories per person, per day, and about 2% of the population was on food stamps. Today, we produce nearly 3900 calories per person, per day, and about 15% of the population is on food stamps.
In this culture, we receive many messages about measuring prosperity through GDP growth. Tell me how this form of measurement compares with the prosperity that can come with growing or locally sourcing your own food.
The problem is, if I answer this you'll have no reason to buy my next book! It's called A Conscious Economy: Reclaiming true wealth in an era of False Abundance. It'll be out June 2013. But in short, the idea that we can and should somehow define our well being via money-related statistics is incredibly myopic and ultimately damaging to us individually and collectively.
OK, then. We'll wait to read about it in your next book. Very exciting. Please keep us posted. In your most recent book, Making Supper Safe, you talk about food rights and food safety. Does a person have to live outside the system to be safe?
Not necessarily. But there's no question that attempts to make the dominant food system more "safe" generally only lead to greater consolidation and stifling of regional food production. We need to understand that food safety is about more than the 3,000 or so Americans that die every year from acute food borne illness (salmonella, e coli, etc), and should include the more than 1,000,000 Americans that die every year from diet-related disease.
Even people who care deeply about making change, can be paralyzed with confusion about where to start. In getting started, what questions can we ask ourselves in our journey toward eating more healthfully?
I'm loath to delve into specific nutritional advice, since that's such a can of worms. However, almost no matter what your beliefs are, if you can simply manage to shun anything that comes in a box or a can, you'll be 3/4 of the way there. Wait… that wasn't a question. Here you go: Should I really be eating this crap that comes in boxes and cans?
What actions can we take to create change in our own corner of the world? Or, what are a few ways we can vote for change with our dollars?
I tend to think about it in a way that's at once a bit broader, and more simple: By my course of action – whether it's choosing to buy one thing or another or nothing at all, or choosing to help someone or not, or choosing to spend my days in pursuit of financial recompense or in pursuit of my passions – what am I saying "yes" to? It's a really simple litmus test, and in truth, sometimes I make the choice to say "yes" to something I'd rather not, like when I drive my car, or fly. But when I'm on the fence about something, it really helps clear my head and make a sound decision.
How can we best build strong communities around us?
I think I might have mentioned my next book…
In all seriousness, building strong communities is something many of us are reflecting on these days. There is a great deal of discussion about this just about anywhere I go. There are also some really great minds focusing attention on creating new paradigms for understanding the importance of our connections with each other. If you haven't read Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics, I can't recommend it enough.
Speaking of community, you live on a 40 acre farm with your wife and sons. Do you have extended family around you? Are they involved in your farm?
My parents live about 15 miles away. They're not really involved, although they often come over and hang out with the boys while Penny and I "git r dun" as we say here in Vermont. I do work trades with friends and we do a lot of informal exchange/gifting/bartering with farming neighbors that keeps us all involved in each others' operations.
Can you talk a little more about the role of bartering and trading in your life? What are the benefits of such practices, versus simply paying for services and goods?
Again, you are touching on some key areas I'll be addressing in my book. This is intimately connected with your question about building strong communities. We need to recognize that monetizing and commodifying so many aspects of our lives is making it increasingly difficult to experience the sort of interdependence that builds strong communities. We need to need each other, and we need to allow ourselves to feel obligated to others and gracious enough to allow them to feel obligated to us.
We do a ton of barter and simple gift exchange; indeed, most of the products that come off our farm are traded for other goods and services. But I must acknowledge that I have the luxury of having other income that allows us to do this. It's a bit more difficult when the farm is the sole source of income. More difficult, but no less important.
What brings you the most joy when it comes to raising your sons on a farm?
We've chosen to raise our boys in a way that's increasingly uncommon in 21st century America. We homeschool, we don't have a TV or other digital media, and they have enormous freedom to explore the surrounding fields and forests. The other day, they took off first thing in the morning, walked 1/2 mile through the woods with their fishing poles, and came home two hours later with a bucket full of brook trout and a bunch of morel mushrooms they'd found. I am so, so happy they have these opportunities.
Of course, the ungrateful little buggers don't even realize how lucky they are. But then, I'm not sure that's a child's obligation. I'm just happy to see them so engaged with nature and living in the moment.
If there were one message you hope people take away from all your writings and talks, what would that be?
Question the status quo. Whether it's food, or wealth, or whatever, don't assume the way it is is the way that's best for us.
Thank you so much Ben for taking the time to connect and for enticing us with the subject of your next book. We look forward to hearing more about that as well!

House to Vote in May on Holding IRS Official Lois Lerner in Contempt
The House of Representatives will vote in May to hold former Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress, a move that likely will fan the ongoing controversy over IRS targeting of conservative groups.
House GOP leaders made their plans known on Friday in a memo outlining their priorities for the month. The House also is expected to vote in May to make permanent an expired temporary tax credit for business research, as Republicans compete with Senate Democrats over which party has the better plans to spur economic growth and jobs. But the fight over what to do about the expired research credit – one of a big batch of expired temporary breaks for businesses and individuals – appears likely to drag on until after the November election.
The vote to hold Ms. Lerner in contempt could have more immediate impact. The IRS controversy already has become a rallying cry for the GOP conservative base heading into the 2014 election campaign.

- GOP Lawmakers Issue Subpoenas for Documents on Obamacare Payments
- Rubio and Cruz Dueled Over the VAT Tax. And the Winner Was...
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on April 10 approved a resolution holding Ms. Lerner in contempt for declining to answer questions about the controversy. Ms. Lerner cited her constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. But committee Republicans argue that she waived her right by making an opening statement proclaiming her innocence.
"Thorough investigations by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee as well as the Ways and Means Committee have revealed findings that indicate that Ms. Lerner played a central role in the illegal targeting of conservative groups by the IRS," says the memo from Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. "The House will consider the Contempt of Congress resolution in May unless she agrees to testify before the Oversight Committee."
There doesn't appear to be much chance Ms. Lerner will reach an agreement with Republicans to testify, unless a court eventually orders her to. But it could take months or years before that point is reached.
In the meantime, the contempt vote could put the Obama administration in an awkward spot.
The law says that if the House or Senate votes to hold someone in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena, the matter is referred to the local U.S. attorney. It is then the "duty" of the U.S. attorney to "bring the matter before the grand jury for its action," according to the statute.
The Department of Justice recently has declined to take contempt cases to a grand jury where executive branch officials asserted executive privilege. But this case involves the Fifth Amendment, not executive privilege, raising a difficult question for the department.

How many broadheads come in a package? i know one is a practice tip but how many actual tips come in a package?and will these work for crossbows?
how to make sure all blades deply?
Also they should not open during flight, unless the spring is missing, and I doubt they will open through paper.

The children and grandchildren of Charles and Carolyn Wilcox will honor them with a 50th anniversary celebration at 6:30 p.m., Friday, July 5, 2013, at the home of Gene and Jessica Wilcox. Any of their friends who wish to come and celebrate are invited. They were married July 11, 1963.
Charles was born and raised in Maud and graduated from Maud High School. He attended Murray State College in Tishomingo. Through his college roommate, Robert Sullivan, he met Carolyn Sullivan, whom he later married.
Charles began working for his father's business, Wilcox Motor Supply, in 1969. In January 1977, Charles and his brother-in-law, Bob Gear, purchased the business from Charles' father, F.O. "Mugs" Wilcox. Charles and Carolyn became sole proprietors of Wilcox Motor Supply in 1978. In 1995, they closed the business and Charles began working for AECO Sales and Service in Tecumseh. Charles is currently semi-retired from AECO.
Charles is a past member of the Tecumseh Jaycees, Rotary Club and the Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce.
Carolyn was born in Shawnee and later moved to the New Hope area where she graduated from Bethel High School. After graduation, she worked for Hardin Real Estate and a Shawnee architectural firm. In 1974, she began working as a bookkeeper for Wilcox Motor Supply and continued until the business closed. She is now a homemaker.
Carolyn has been active in many civic organizations, including the Rosebud Extension Homemakers Club, Jaycee Jaynes, the Tecumseh Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Anns, Pioneer Library System board, the Norman Area Iris Society, and American Iris Society.
Charles and Carolyn are active members of the Highland Church of Christ, where Charles serves as an elder and church treasurer.
They have two sons and daughters-in-law, and four grandsons, Gene, Jessica, CJ, and Stephen Wilcox, and Tracy, Brenda, Michael, and Joey Wilcox, all of the Bethel Acres area.

1st set pretty standard. Stash featured some ambitious playing. They were really attacking different themes, exploring different keys. Most of the time it didn't really work but still interesting. Also of note, a flawless hard driving Rift. Nothing special but just a reminder of how this tune was intended to be played.
The highlight of the 1st set for me was Ginseng Sullivan, acoustic/ no mics. This was really cool. They had to belt it out to fill the club and of course play around crowd applause. It isn't often the Phish has the opportunity to play no mics anymore. That made this special and unforgettable.
The 2nd set was very special. Mike starts in with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" teases in Wilson (with old intro vocals). From there it felt like a game between Trey, Mike, Page, and I guess the audience to fit in 'Lion Sleeps' teases throughout the rest of the set. Very entertaining.
The Bowie is definitely worth checking out. They continue attacking different themes hard. Again, it does not always work out, however there are some good moments. The best of these is deep into the jam when Trey lays on feedback out of this mellow place and explodes back into more traditional Bowie rage. The end of Bowie was longer than usual as well, returning to the Bowie theme several times before the final notes.
The teases don't stop there. In Possum they teased every song played to that point of the set, and well. There are a couple of shows that feature more teases than this show(Roxy), but this is up there.
Lots of novelty in this show, between acoustic w/out mics, all the teases, all fall down signal, Purple Rain and all that comes with Fishman tunes, as well as a BBFCFM to cap off the set. Other than that the Bowie is very good and worth a listen. I was hooked after this show. Here I am 17 yrs later still trying to figure out how and when I will make it to another show

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Head coach Nate Teymer's tear continued on Saturday night as he progressed his Augusta State Lady Jaguars to their best start in program history with a 57-40 win over UNC Pembroke in Christenberry Fieldhouse.
Senior forward Tiffany Jaecks scored 14, while senior Laci Schreiber notched a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds to lead ASU to victory on the fourth-annual Military Appreciation Day.
Avenging the Jan. 5 loss at UNCP, the win moved ASU to 14-2 overall and 7-2 in the Peach Belt Conference. The loss dropped the Braves to 9-10 overall and 3-7 in the conference.
Jaecks scored the first five points for ASU, leading to an 8-0 run where the Lady Jags held the Braves to 16 percent shooting in the first half. The Braves hit only one of their first 12 shots and committed 12 turnovers in the half.
ASU held the Braves to 10 points for the fewest the Lady Jags have allowed in a half this year. Junior Becky Newhouse was perfect going into the break, shooting 2-2 from the field and hitting a lone 3-pointer with five rebounds.
Jaecks led all scorers with 14 points, while Newhouse was a basket shy of getting her first double-double on the season, contributing eight points and 10 boards. Brittany White handed out a game-high eight assists and added three steals.
The Braves were paced by 12 points from sophomore guard Kamille Horne and senior Taylor Gallentine's 10 rebounds.
The Lady Jags built a 22-point lead in the second half, while the Braves could draw no closer than 13. ASU ended the game 57-40, shooting 35 percent (23-65) for the game and holding the Braves to 27 percent (14-52). The Lady Jags forced 19 turnovers and scored 15 points of off UNCP mistakes.
The win starts an eleven-game PBC stretch to close out ASU's regular season. The Lady Jags continue conference play on Thursday, Jan. 31 when Armstrong Atlantic State hosts ASU in a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.

Boston's police commissioner says investigators believe the suspects in the marathon bombing were likely planning other attacks.
Commissioner Ed Davis told CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that authorities found an arsenal of homemade explosives following a gun battle between police and the suspects last week in Watertown, Mass.
Davis says authorities have reason to believe 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) and 26-year-old brother Tamerlan "were going to attack other individuals."
He says the scene of the gun battle was "loaded with unexploded improvised explosive devices that actually we had to point out to the arriving officers and clear the area."
He said on "Fox News Sunday" authorities cannot be positive there aren't more explosives that haven't been found. But he says the people of Boston are safe.

Presumably this is a class path problem, are these things I need to acquire or are they already in the package somewhere? (I did grep through the directory but no luck).
It's been about 5 years since I did anything with Java (College) so I'm very, very rusty.
Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much.
