In the parking lot at Nassau Coliseum it was already dark and rainy with nary an hour `til show time. The bleak weather had dampened any hopes for a nice New York City skyline view on the way in, but hopes were high for the first of this run of shows, billed as the "Twentieth Anniversary Tour". The arena shows that went down in February stand as some of the finest shows of post-Hiatus Phish, and many Heads were excited to get back indoors.
There were few ticketless fans, and most folks had made it in by the time the house lights went down, a little on the early side: twenty minutes late instead of the customary thirty. Every empty space in the house was filled as the final musty, wet masses made their way into the aging Coliseum as the band meandered onstage.
With little warning the band simply started into "Bouncin'". It was met with the requisite crowd roar, though some fans looked at each other and scratched their heads. Trey rushed into the familiar opening chords of "Runaway Jim" and the boys were finally off, the arena crowd latching onto something upbeat to groove to. Trey simply smiled and tore through a fairly brief solo, the band brushing away the dust from three months off the road by the time the song came to a close. A brief pause, and the band crept into "Ghost", Gordon's bass pumped along, trading back and forth with evil sounding guitar licks before Fishman's thunderous entrance pulled everything together into one funky groove. The jam grew apart and floated towards the deep end, each member contributing quietly before drifting into the back and forth sway of the instrumental, "What's the Use?". The hum of distorted guitars and the bellowing drone of Page's organ dominated the number as most of the arena swayed back and forth, some taking an early breather.
Sensing the need for an energy boost, the band provided just that with the "AC/DC Bag" that followed. The rest of the band raced at a frenetic pace, almost unable to keep up with Trey's always elusive guitar solo that seemed to keep one step ahead of the game. By the end of the jam it had built so such a fury that the three front line members were wailing almost uncontrollably on top of a pulsating drumbeat. Trey reeled the band in, let the distortion moan for just a second longer, and cleared the air for Fishman's beat before unleashing the trademark riff of "First Tube".
Always a crowd pleaser with the kids who came to dance, this one elicited a big response as the persuasive rhythmic pulse of the song pulled the audience along in unison before slowing to a crawl like a car run out of gas, the audience just happy to have made it to where they needed to go. "Frankie Says" was next, and was a fine breather tune, harkening back to its debut on the first night of the Island Tour in 1998, the only other time Phish decided to spontaneously blaze through the northeast for a four night mini tour.
"Bathtub Gin" followed, and is always a favorite. After progressing quickly through the lyric section, the jam took off in the manner that seems to typify new Phish, an up-tempo jam driven by an infectious beat, but ultimately weaving and unweaving the melody before giving way to Trey's rainbow of guitar noise. The jam sometimes paved the way to new places, other times it simply drifted off into the abyss. By the time the jam slowed it gave way to the crashing chords and telltale opening lick of "Free". The band seemed to back away and give Trey plenty of space during the verses, before bringing the pot to a boil on the choruses. Mike chimed in with some of his bass thunder for the break down section, showing off a murky underwater tone, filling the gaps with his own brand of cow funk. This one is an absolute rocker and served to whip the arena into a frenzy, the crowd's hunger for Phish briefly satiated by the filling hour and twenty minute set it had just experienced.
"Waves" opened the second set, and the jam took off to a good place, a highly melodic and mesmerizing trip. Trey's solo sat on top of inspired piano playing from Mr. McConell. Clocking in around thirteen minutes, this version begins to explore where this song can go, though the jam was reined in a tad to early.
Phish proved how adroit they can be, quickly moving from the astral listlessness of "Waves" to the fist-pumping arena rock of "Sample in a Jar". This one got everyone going, as it's a song designed to elicit even a foot-tap and a smile from the most hardened show-goer. Mike's sonic dissonance filled the room and "Down With Disease" was soon cued in with a low end that could be felt in the last row of the arena. This song contains one of Trey's greatest riffs, and one that can bring the energy level to a peak whenever the red bearded gunslinger decides to bring the jam back down with it. This version, which was the notable showstopper of the night, is a standout in that Trey abandons the riff all together and the group delves as one unit into uncharted waters.
After digging a few holes already during the show, they had finally struck paydirt. The groove shimmied along, led by Mike's twisting bassline, Trey and Page crashing in unison on top of a downright nasty Henrietta drumbeat. "Once, twice", the groove seemed to shout, pausing briefly to cue the listener into the rhythm section, before clapping happily away again. Gordon and Fishman added a series of fills, before passing the reigns back to Trey, who guided the band into stopping on a dime. If they'd been looking for it all show, they'd found it now.
Page's lonely piano started up "Walls of the Cave" before Fish's woodblocks dragged the song into the lyrics segment. This one seems to hearken back the old big time showstoppers that had been noticeably absent from the most recent additions to the Phish repertoire. Though some aren't sold on the song's beginning sections, the jam section is a fiery river of smoldering new Phish, working the audience into a blissful froth of bouncing, happy, screaming people.
"Two Versions Of Me" followed, and was a good breather song, the lyrics and imagery growing on this listener with each listen. After a brief pow wow, Trey crept to the microphone and bashfully stated that they would play a new song, before starting "Crowd Control". This song bounces along with country rock flair, reeling in the listening on a big fat hook. Though Trey and Page seemed more focused on remembering the lyrics, this shows a lot of promise and could turn into a favorite of both the hardcore and casual fans, combining high energy with rollicking rock sensibility and an infectious hook.
After a brief sigh of relief for making it through "Crowd Control" relatively unscathed, Trey stepped to the mic and said, "We'd like to play an old song for you now, this song will be sung by our bass player, it's called `his song'". Sensing the end was near, the crowd reached back and prepared to close out the set with high energy as the band raged through "Mike Song", before dropping into the lilting melodies of "I am Hydrogen". When Fish cued in Mike's slapping bass with a snap of the high-hat, everyone knew we were coming down the final jam, and it was time to get down. This "Weekapaug" was short, sweet, and spicy all at once, the boys laid it on the line one more time before the jam was wrestled home, the band taking exit under darkened house lights, all the kids in the arena screaming their lungs out for just one more.
The road crew busily hurried about and set up another microphone in between Trey and Mike's, and the audience buzzed, wondering who would appear when the band returned. Trey introduced former Space Antelope band mate, the Dude of Life, bringing up a cheer of "Duuuude" from the crowd before delving into "Crimes of the Mind", the title track from the Dude's first album. More than anything, this was a reminder of how far Phish has come for their twentieth anniversary run. In many ways the encore was a rare look over the shoulder for the band, back to a different time when the group was emerging out of the dense greenery of Vermont to take their place on the national stage. "Here's to twenty incredible years of Phish," the Dude exclaimed as the number wound down, "and most importantly, here's to twenty more incredible years of Phish!" There wasn't a person in the house who couldn't agree heartily with the sentiment.

PARKERSBURG -The Wheeling Park girls basketball team discovered that returning from a four-day layoff from the hardwoods isn't quite like riding a bike.
In the consolation game of Thursday's Jack Stephens Memorial Holiday Tournament at Parkersburg High School's Memorial Fieldhouse, the Patriots managed to overcome a seven-point, first-quarter deficit and defeat tourney host PHS, 65-56.
"I tell my girls when you are losing at the beginning of the game it's OK, but don't be losing in the fourth quarter -that's when you are in trouble," Wheeling Park coach Deedra Davis said. "We haven't practiced because of the Christmas break and the weather, but I am just glad we came out with a win - we really needed that."

Wheeling Park's Kristen Slater drives to the basket as Parkersburg's Imani Ward attempts a block. Wheeling Park won, 65-56.
Wheeling Park, which decided not to make the trip for Wednesday's opening round because of inclement weather, improved to 5-2 after receiving 31 points, five steals and three assists from all-stater Emily Puskarich. The senior accounted for eight points during a 14-2 run midway in the third quarter which put the Patriots in front to stay at 47-35.
"Emily is our go-to girl," Davis said. "Whatever we ask from her she will do it. She did a super job tonight."
PHS (4-5) fell behind by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter before slicing the deficit to as few as seven at 60-53 with 1:03 remaining in regulation on a three-point play from Kennedy Walker, who finished with 20 points and nine rebounds. Forced to foul, the Big Reds couldn't creep any closer as Wheeling Park converted 5-of-6 free throws in the final minute.
PHS post player Imani Ward finished with a double-double for the second consecutive night after pouring in 24 points to go with a game-high 14 rebounds. Despite picking up her fourth foul with six-plus minutes still left in the game, the senior was responsible for all 10 Big Red points as her ballclub narrowed the gap to 58-50 with just under two minutes showing.
"We played even with them in the first, second and fourth quarter - there was a small segment in the third quarter where we couldn't find the hole," PHS coach Kenny DeMoss said.
Ward and Walker scored all but two points as PHS established a 10-3 advantage in the opening three minutes of the ballgame. The Big Reds took care of each possession and did not commit their first turnover until the two-minute mark of the first quarter.
By the end of the night, that tune changed as Wheeling Park forced PHS into 26 turnovers.
"We just have to get better fundamentally," DeMoss said. "We have to be better passers. We have to be able to handle pressures in traps, and see quicker when people are open inside as opposed to throwing the ball late or not seeing it at all.
"I loved the effort tonight and like the direction we are going. I think we are really close to turning the corner and being pretty good. "We just have a lot of work to do. The girls know that. They know it is a long season and we want to get back to work (Friday) and play Spring Valley next Thursday.
Kristen Slater scored five of her 10 points off the bench as Wheeling Park outscored PHS 16-2 during a 5 1/2-minute stretch, which put the Patriots in front 19-12 early in the second quarter.
PHS stayed within shouting distance and eventually pulled even at 33 in the opening stages of the second half, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Haley Robb and Puskarich gave the Patriots a 40-33 lead. Robb finished with 13 points and four steals. The 5-foot-6 senior even blocked a shot on the perimeter.
"We were outsized bigtime, but our girls intercepted a lot of passes," Davis said. "The kids did a nice job putting pressure on their guards and made the entry passes harder."

TAHOE/TRUCKEE - Many local parents with young children may be aware of American Girl Dolls, which have been a big hit over the past few years. Perhaps you were one of those parents clamoring to get one of these toys for your student over the holidays. No matter whether you have had a close encounter with these dolls or not - there is an incredible opportunity to receive grant funds for our local elementary schools, thanks to a new partnership.
Americans for the Arts is teaming up with American Girl to help promote the arts in U.S. schools through the Elevate the Arts School Grant Contest and Saige Learning Guide. This partnership dovetails with American Girl's introduction of its 2013 Girl of the Year, Saige Copeland.
Elementary schools throughout the United States with students in grades 3-6 can submit entries to support their art program through the Elevate the Arts School Grant Contest. Each entry must contain two components: a digital image of artwork and a written essay. Entries should be submitted before May 31, 2013. They will be evaluated on originality, creativity and how effectively it demonstrates the school's enthusiasm for art and its positive effect on its students.
Grants will be awarded to 13 schools. The first-place winning school will receive $10,000; schools placing second and third will win a $5,000 each; and 10 runner-up schools will each receive $2,500. Grant recipients will be announced in October 2013 to coincide with National Arts and Humanities Month.
The Saige Learning Guide is a free, downloadable arts-based curriculum designed for teachers to inspire their students to explore their creative side. It outlines seven specific activities teachers can use to infuse the arts into their classroom and inspire their students to explore the arts, share their artistic passions and promote the arts in their schools and communities.
To complement this resource, Americans for the Arts is offering additional tools that parents can use to ignite their child's creative spirit and imagination and to ensure their school districts and education leaders are committed to the arts. These supplementary tools can be found on Americans for the Arts' website at www.americansforthearts.org/AmericanGirl.
Further details regarding the Elevate the Arts School Grant Program, including specific contest rules and regulations, and the Saige Learning Guide can be found at www.americangirl.com/play/girl-of-the-year/saige.
The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District has a head start in applying thanks to Measure A funding the Artist in Residence Program which was developed by Arts For the Schools and is currently administered by AFtS. Schools in Incline Village have a head start in applying thanks to their very successful "Meet the Masters" program.
The images for this article were part of AFtS Artist in Residence program. Last month students looked at a piece of literature, "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens, which tells the story of a transformational experience of Ebenezer Scrooge between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in 1843. This was an excellent story to tell in December and a great subject for students to paint the two Ebenezer experiences. In the first one he is scared and on his knees on the living room floor as he faces the ghost of his former business partner, Marley. The second one is of Ebenezer on Christmas Day when he joyfully runs through town wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Students drew the figures step by step together and then the children embellished their paintings to their own liking and imagination.

9.1-16 Larceny by Shoplifting -- § 53a-119 (9) and §§ 53a-122 through 53a-125b
Revised to April 23, 2010
Note: The degree of the larceny is determined by the value of the property stolen. See § 53a-122 (first degree); § 53a-123 (second degree); § 53a-124 (third degree); § 53a-125 (fourth degree); § 53a-125a (fifth degree); § 53a-125b (sixth degree). The dollar amounts for the degrees of larceny were increased as of October 1, 2009. See the table in Introduction to Larceny for the values in effect prior to that date.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with shoplifting in the (first / second / third / fourth / fifth / sixth) degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of shoplifting who intentionally takes possession of any goods, wares or merchandise offered or exposed for sale by any store or other mercantile establishment with the intention of converting the same to (his/her) own use, without paying the purchase price thereof.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Possession
The first element is that the defendant took possession of the property of another. If (he/she) had them in (his/her) hands or on (his/her) person, that would be taking possession of them. It would also be taking possession of them if (he/she) placed them in some place or upon some other person where they would be subject to (his/her) control.
Element 2 - Goods, wares or
The second element is that the property was either goods, wares or merchandise offered or exposed for sale by a store or other mercantile establishment. The words "goods," "wares" and "merchandise" have their ordinary meanings and encompass all things that are bought and sold in the marketplace. Such goods, wares or merchandise must be offered or exposed for sale by a store or mercantile establishment.
Element 3 - Intent
The third element is that the defendant specifically intended to convert them to (his/her) own use without paying the purchase price. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
"Converting to (his/her) own use" means the defendant must have intended to use the goods for (his/her) own purpose. "(His/Her) own use" would include selling, transferring, or giving the merchandise to another. The defendant must also have taken possession with the intention of evading payment of the purchase price. Such must have been (his/her) intention at the time (he/she) took possession. If the defendant honestly intended to pay for the goods at the time (he/she) took possession, but then forgot to do so before (he/she) left the store, (he/she) would not have had the intention of evading payment and would not be guilty. Carelessness, no matter how great, is not enough for this crime. The defendant must have had the dishonest intention of evading payment.
[<If appropriate:> The statute defining the offense of shoplifting provides that certain evidence, if believed, may be sufficient to establish intent. If you find that the defendant intentionally concealed unpurchased goods or merchandise, either on the premises or outside the premises of the store, you may then find, but are not required to, that (he/she) concealed the article with the intention of converting the same to (his/her) own use without paying the purchase price thereof. To "conceal" means to hide, and it would include any actions that would render it more difficult to discover or identify the goods. The statute requires an intentional concealment, which means some act intended to prevent detection or discovery of the goods.]
Element 4 - Value
The fourth element is that the property had a value that <insert as appropriate:>
First degree: exceeded $20,000.
Second degree: exceeded $10,000.
Third degree: exceeded $2,000.
Fourth degree: exceeded $1,000.
Fifth degree: exceeded $500.
Sixth degree: did not exceed $500.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant took possession of the property of another, 2) the property consisted of goods, wares or merchandise offered for sale by a store or other mercantile establishment, 3) the defendant specifically intended to convert them to (his/her) own use without paying the purchase price, and 4) the property had a value of <insert value according to degree charged>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
shoplifting, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if
you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.

PLEASURE POINT -- Jon and Meg's beach wedding has left a sour taste in the mouths of some Mid-County beach-goers.
Someone in the wedding party gouged the names of the bride and groom known only as Meg and Jon into the fragile sandstone cliff above a popular Mid-County beach before Friday's ceremony. The letters, which are about a foot tall and one and a half inches deep, are visible to sunbathers as well as surfers in the water at the break below Opal Cliff's Drive.
"It's a visual blight," said Howard "Boots" McGee, who saw a man in a white shirt standing up against the cliff while he paddled past the pocket beach on his stand-up paddleboard Friday morning. "It's vandalism and it's worse than paint."
McGee said he noticed that chairs had been set up on the beach, but didn't realize what the man, who was facing the cliff for quite some time, was up to until he received a text message later that day from a friend. He returned to the area later to take pictures of the damage.
News of the vandalism spread rapidly through the beach community via word of mouth and social media, though it was never reported to law enforcement, according to Santa Cruz County sheriff's Sgt. Patrick Dimick.
McGee posted photographs of the carvings and a description of what he saw on his Facebook page, prompting dozens of people to comment angrily.
Along with referring to the vandal as "idiots" "morons" and "ridiculous," people lamented the complete disregard for the landscape and referred to the act as "ecoterrorism." Others said they hope that the vandal will be identified and fined or forced to do community service.
Unlike most graffiti, which can be washed off or covered with paint, there's no way to remove the carving without further damaging the cliffs. Even after beach-goers packed the lettering with sand, in an attempt to hide the gouges, it remained visible. While the vandalism is unsightly, many fear it will lead to greater damage.
The biggest concern is that the carving will exacerbate erosion along the cliff, which is vulnerable to rock slides. Signs posted on the pathway leading to the beach warn people that the cliffs are unstable.
"This is a fragile cliff," McGee said. "It's sandstone and it's permeable. Water can and will erode it."
The beach where the wedding took place is accessible through a quarter-acre park, as well as by foot from Capitola or the Hook at low tides. Maintenance of the park and the stairwell leading to the sand is funded by neighborhood property taxes and beach dues, and the property is managed by a special district that is overseen by the county. The fees also pay for a locked gate and a security guard to prevent access to those who don't purchase a key.
A board member for the Opal Cliffs Recreation District said someone had approached the board recently seeking permission to hold a wedding on the beach. They were turned down because the district's insurance policy doesn't cover liability for events such as a wedding.
"We told them absolutely not," said Craig Springbett, a board member.
Despite that, a group arrived at the park, told the young security guard they had been given permission to hold a wedding there. Using a single key, one of the party held the gate open for the wedding party, which was estimated at 20 to 40 people.
"They totally lied to the gate guard," said Springbett.
He said he later heard complaints from beach-goers who said members of the wedding party tried to shoo them away so that they wouldn't appear in the photographs.
"It was really unfortunate," Springbett said about the entire affair. "If we can find out who did it, I'd like to know."

VAIL -AlpenGLOW, the second installment of The sixth annual Triumph Winterfest, officially opens tonight. Celebrate the opening at 5 p.m. on the Gore Creek Promenade where complimentary hot chocolate will be served, as the public gathers to enjoy both AlpenGLOW and The Logan Ice Theater, which was installed in mid-December.Inspired from the optical phenomenon of sunlight and mountain horizons, AlpenGLOW includes a series of lit ice sculptures throughout the Gore Creek Promenade. Paul Wertin of Alpine Ice created the lantern-inspired ice sculptures that radiate a variety of colors. One may meander amongst the ice sculptures that will illuminate the creek and its surroundings with a unique atmospheric experience. AlpenGLOW compliments The Logan Ice Theater, also located on the Gore Creek Promenade. When the sun sets, the projection of images and videos commences upon the 10 foot tall screen created from blocks of ice at The Logan Ice Theater. "The Sixth Annual Triumph Winterfest exhibitions are truly an exploration of light, ice, reflection, and projection," said Molly Eppard, Art in Public coordinator for the town of Vail. "Working with Nathan Cox from Pink Monkey and Paul Wertin from Alpine Ice, Art in Public Places has been able to bring a unique art installation for our guests and residents to enjoy. It is exciting to celebrate Vail's 50th anniversary by exploring what we are able to do with these combined mediums."Nightly from 5 to 10 p.m. videos celebrating Vail's 50th anniversary are projected at The Logan Ice Theater. Warren Miller Entertainment's anthology of Vail footage from Warren Miller films from 1962 until the present was created specifically for The Logan Ice Theater. "Vail...Timeless" is featured at The Logan Ice Theater nightly in honor of Vail's 50th celebrations. The Vail Ski & Snowboard School, also celebrating its 50th anniversary, recently released a film entitled "The Call of the Mountains - 50 Years of the Vail Ski & Snowboard School." Segments from this film will also be featured, amongst other videos created that capture the history and spirit of Vail. The ice installation will continue through February, weather permitting. The Logan Ice Theater is made possible by a matching contribution to Triumph Partners' donation from Vail residents Vicki and Kent Logan to the Art in Public Places' Triumph Winterfest programs.Triumph Partners' continued support of the visual arts in the Vail Valley is exemplified through its charitable donations toward the annual Triumph Winterfest exhibition. Their financial contributions to Art in Public Places will enable this popular outdoor snow and ice sculpture exhibition to continue through 2015. This inaugural installation of The Logan Ice Theater is made possible by a generous donation from Vail residents Vicki and Kent Logan.

The Boston Bruins practiced at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington without forwards David Krejci, Brad Marchand and Shawn Thornton, but left winger Daniel Paille (eye injury) was back on the ice and coach Claude Julien gave favorable reports on his three missing players.
After sustaining a concussion in his fight Thursday with Buffalo enforcer John Scott, Thornton skated on his own before Monday's practice and was symptom-free. He remains a long shot for Wednesday's game in Montreal, but expect Krejci (maintenance day) and possibly Marchand, who crashed shoulder-first into the end boards Saturday in Toronto.
Despite the encouraging reports, the Bruins had rearranged three out of four forward lines and stuck to basics during Monday's one-hour, up-tempo workout. At 6 p.m., general manager Peter Chiarelli announced that center Ryan Spooner had been recalled from Providence (AHL) and will join the team for today's 1 p.m. practice at the Bell Centre.
An explosive skating center, the 21-year-old Spooner (9-21-30) is tied atop the P-Bruins scoring list with winger Jamie Tardif (21-9-30), the AHL all-star who played his first-ever NHL game with Boston on Saturday in Toronto. This is Spooner's first recall to the NHL. The Bruins drafted the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Kanata, Ont., native in the second round of the 2010 draft (45th overall).

Yoshiblue's commercial makes some amazing claims aimed at "classy chefs.""They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but who knew they would make the greatest cooking surface ever," according to the commercial.The Yoshiblue Diamondware skillet says its "nano-ceramic, non-stick surface" is infused with "genuine diamond particles.""I think I would rather have my diamonds in my jewelry than in my pan," Denise Dias said.Denise is from the Sedgwick County Extension Office. She is about to put this diamond technology to work. We paid nearly $36 for the Yoshiblue skillet--that includes shipping and handling.The instructions say you have to wash it first. Then, you have to pre-condition the cookware with oil. So, we end-up using oil on this oil free pan. Denise follows the instructions and heats-up the oil. When it's cool, she wipes it clean. Now, we can begin testing!The commercial shows the egg sliding around in the Yoshiblue skillet"It's not sliding," Denise said.So she uses her plastic kitchen utensil to loosen it up. It finally slides all over the skillet."I don't think it quite lives up to the commercial," Denise said.Denise wipes the skillet between testing. Next up... gooey pancake batter."It was okay. It flipped. It didn't stick," Denise said.The Yoshiblue commercial says the skillet is easy to clean. It proves it with a piece of burning cheese."Whoa! That's surprising," Denise said. The burning cheese easily flips over.Now to hash browns."It flipped okay... they didn't stick," Denise said.But with no oil, they don't look as good as the ones on TV.Finally... burnt sugar."I think it would be attached by now and we wouldn't be able to move it around like we are," Denise said.After all this testing, does it work?"Yes. It works. I'm pleasantly surprised with how well it works."There are a lot of non-stick, oil-free skillets out there. Denise says a lot of that cookware does require the pre-conditioning step with oil. And, it's something you have to do throughout the use of that product. Also, you can only use plastic or wooden utensils on the Yoshiblue. That's true for most skillets like this-- you're going to want to stay away from anything metal.

Sandy Fallout for Hotels Varied by City, Study Finds
Hotels in Boston and Washington, D.C., lost more business when superstorm Sandy struck than did hotels in New York City, primarily because New York had more displaced residents who grabbed hotel rooms during and after the storm, according to data from TravelClick.
Hotel occupancy declined by 20% in Boston and by 22% in Washington when Sandy rampaged along the coast from Oct. 28 to Nov. 3. That's in comparison with the same week a year earlier.
In contrast, occupancy in New York City declined by just 6%, according to TravelClick, which gathers data on bookings and rates from hotel chains to compile into market reports.
Hardest hit among travel categories that week was business travel, which declined by 50% in hotel bookings in those three cities during Sandy's run.
Meanwhile, New York City saw more from a different type of guest than did Boston and Washington: Walk-in business from displaced residents and stranded workers.
"That's what made New York unique–it just had a huge population that was scrambling to prepare for the storm," said Tim Hart, an executive vice president at New York-based TravelClick.
By now, most hotels evacuated during Sandy's deluge have reopened, including the Ritz-Carlton New York Battery Park downtown, which reopened Monday.
This week, several real-estate investment trusts that own hotels have reined in their forecasts for fourth-quarter financial results to reflect the damage that Sandy did to their bookings Host Hotels & Resorts, owner of 104 U.S. hotels, and DiamondRock Hospitality, owner of 27 U.S. hotels, did so earlier this week.
On Friday, FelCor Lodging Trust, owner of 66 U.S. hotels, lowered its forecast for its 2012 revenue per room to a gain of 5.25% to 5.75%, down from its previous forecast of 5.5% to 6%. FelCor owns 14 hotels that were affected by Sandy, including a DoubleTree in Wilmington, Del., and a Sheraton in Philadelphia.
Yet some observers predict that Sandy ultimately will deliver a gain for many hotels in the Northeast. "Sandy's going to be more positive than negative because of the rebuilding efforts that are going to go on in the Greater New York area, the Jersey coastline and into Pennsylvania," said Ryan Meliker, managing director with investment bank MLV & Co., who tracks the hotel market. "The rebuilding will bring a lot of people and capital in."
Others aren't so sure that the recovery efforts will help hotels, especially those that rely heavily on conferences and corporate meetings. "Going forward, you may see some contractors, architects and things that will be incremental demand from the rebuilding efforts," said Stephen Schafer, a vice president at FelCor, the hotel REIT. "But that's hard to quantify. It may be minimal."

I need to buy a men's lacrosse stick as a gift this Christmas and am not really sure where to start. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
I play women's lacrosse, but I work in the South Swell lacrosse store here in San Diego and have a pretty good idea. So here is what I think...
There are several good companies making men's heads and shafts, but I would recommend sticking to one brand. Sometimes if you cross shafts and head brands, you often have to drill a new hole in order for the two to fit together properly. I think Warrior is the best brand for both heads and shafts and for all ages, skill levels, and positions on the field.
In terms of the actual heads The Evolution, its light, the ball comes out quick, easy to scoop up ground balls. The Evo tends to bend easily and a lot of guys use that stick also. The Razor is also a popular head among the guys and we sell a lot of those.
In terms of shafts Warrior shafts have a lot of variety, from tougher, heavier shafts to the lightest styles. The Kryptolite Series is great and highly recommend those shafts which vary from beginner to pro. Also, the Warrior Titan Series is another option.
I can give you more suggestions if needed. Also, a local lacrosse specific store will be able to guide you in the right direction if there is one in your area.
Lacrosse Gear and Equipment Sites:
A recent article from Inside Lacrosse, Peter Jacobs' Weapon of Choice , goes through one of the NLL's finest players choice in head, pocket, shooting strings, shaft and tape.
RBK 7K with blister grip.
just got mine a couple months ago.light yet strong handle with an awesome feel and it just looks sick.
my whole team kept asking me if they could hold it. Which got annoying. But well worth the annoyance. lol.
go to lacrossemonkey.com to get one. good price.

Wednesday's letters: A fundamental safeguard
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 6:12 p.m.
Clay Allen (op-ed column, March 18) did an admirable job commemorating the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark Supreme Court decision that expanded the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of "assistance of counsel" to people accused of felonies. Unfortunately, there is more to the story.
Writing in The New York Times, Paul Butler, a former prosecutor, lays bare the reality of indigent defense today: "A poor person has a much greater chance of being incarcerated now than when Gideon was decided … ." This isn't because of increased crime, he notes, but because prosecutors target the poor whose attorneys have little choice but to negotiate a guilty plea, so great is their caseload. (Over 90 percent of accused people plead guilty.)
The U.S. locks up more people by far than any other country. And the vast majority are poor. As Mr. Butler notes, "Our population is less than 5 percent of the world's, but we have nearly 25 percent of its prisoners. When Gideon was decided, about 43 percent of defendants were indigent. Now over 80 percent are."
Despite this appalling statistic (or because of it), Gideon remains vitally important as a fundamental safeguard for justice. Today, however, it's a pale shadow of what the Supreme Court intended in 1963. Public defenders do vital work. But these offices are underfunded, understaffed and overworked.
A number of factors have conspired over the years to undermine the original intent of Gideon v. Wainwright. The most damaging by far has been the failed "war on drugs" in which elected prosecutors satisfy the public's demand to "get tough on crime," even when crime rates are falling. Add to this 30 years of economic policies that have created millions more "indigents," and it's easy to see why Gideon's once bright promise is a fading memory.

Ignoring their constituents
I totally agree with David Luttrell's letter Sunday on Sen. Lindsey Graham. He was elected from a conservative district and for a while lived up to our expectations. At one time, I thought the senator who was betraying us was Jim DeMint.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman (another Republican), who recently changed his stance on same-sex marriage, did so for personal reasons and not based on the position of the people he was elected to serve.
These senators consider the seats they hold to be theirs, not ours. If the Republican Party wants to retain its seats in the Senate, it had better look for candidates who represent the views of their constituents.

Due to an editing error, Bernadine Wilson's letter to the editor in Tuesday's edition was unclear. Ms. Wilson is not in favor of the open-carry firearm proposal.

NetNewsWire is an RSS and Atom newsreader for Macintosh and iPhone
NetNewsWire is an easy-to-use RSS and Atom newsreader for Mac OS X. Its familiar three-paned interface similar to Apple Mail can fetch and display news from thousands of different websites and weblogs, making it quick and easy to keep up with the latest news.
Required OS: 10.6

I'm still a fan of NetNewsWire. Call it nostalgia I guess. Can't wait to see what BlackPixel does with it. In the meantime I wrote a NetNewsWire Style based on Reeder
You guys should try REEDER (beta now). Top-notch RSS reader for iPad, iPhone and now for Mac. Doesn't support adding/removing feeds since It uses Google (crap) Reader account.
very nice, windows user haven't a so good RSS reader
Looks like they also sold my address to spammers. I have a gmail address that I had never used or publicly posted, but which I entered in NNW in order to sync now that it requires google news for syncing. Starting one week later that address has been receiving daily spam message. Until I entered it in NNW it had never received a spam message.
Ads are back. Even for people like me who bought a license back before NNW was freeware.
After I discovered Vienna, the Open Source RSS-Reader, I will never go back to this one! Vienna is much faster and better, try it!
About the adds in NetNewsWire, I'd like to leave here a few words included in the 3.2b11 release notes:
"Ads â" not showing at all until thereâs a way to remove them. They will come back, but not before then."
I won't make any more comments about that. Everyone is free to take its own conclusions about the meaning of these words.
Yep, ads are gone for me too now. And I also agree that Sharing through gReader is probably my most-used bit of gReader that I can't do from NNW. Would be a killer implement… Also, honoring starred items in gReader as flagged in NNWâ¦
Not sure how the ads are sneaky exactly⦠I abandoned NNW months ago because I knew ads were coming⦠Am now giving it another shot as it's the only client to synch with gReader, but the ads are pretty obnoxiously placedâ¦Â Would prefer them inline, or an alternate paid version w/o ads (see Tweetie for examples of bothâ¦)
I also miss some of the niceties of the gReader web interface, such as perpetual scrolling⦠But at the same time I do generally prefer client software over web nonsense⦠Anyway, the new beta of NNW is worth checking out, I suppose, but I'm curious if it's too little too lateâ¦
Now with Advertisements... prominently displayed in the interface (3.2b). After paying for NNW (and happy with the speed, elegance), they make it 'free' and introduce ads! It's annoying and much less elegant. But it's the sneakiness of the apparent strategy that really grates. NewsGator should not treat customers like this.

Oakland administrator is staying put
Oakland City Administrator Deanna Santana says there's no truth to recent rumors that she's leaving the city after less than two years on the job.
"I'm happy here," she said Thursday. "I enjoy working in Oakland. Right now, I don't have any plans of leaving."
Santana, who has shepherded Oakland through the tumult of Occupy and the stepped-up federal oversight of the city's police force, said she has been debunking rumors of her departure for the past few weeks. This week, she met with Council President Larry Reid, who had caught wind of the rumor, and told him she planned to stay.
The rumors didn't link Santana to a specific job. Santana, a former San Jose deputy city manager, said she hasn't applied or interviewed for any positions since taking the reigns in Oakland last year. She wouldn't say if she's been approached about potential openings.
Council votes to get tough on graffiti, go easy on taxi companies
In the last meeting of 2012, Oakland's outgoing City Council voted to halve vehicle license fees for taxi companies and toughen laws on graffiti vandals.
At the behest of taxi companies, the council approved lowering vehicle fees from $1,019 to $519. The reduction followed a major increase in the fee last year that was approved to cover the city's expenses in overseeing the taxi program.
Advocates for lowering the fee said it would reduce incentives to operate taxis illegally and help the industry deal with declining revenue. Opponents said it was a giveaway to politically active industry barons that wouldn't help drivers, who pay weekly fees of up to $575 to use the taxis.
Voting to reduce fees were council members Larry Reid, Ignacio De La Fuente, Desley Brooks, Jane Brunner and Rebecca Kaplan. Council members Pat Kernighan, Nancy Nadel and Libby Schaaf voted against it.
The council overwhelmingly supported a proposal to crack down on graffiti vandals. The ordinance would make graffiti vandalism a misdemeanor rather than an infraction. It would also establish a city cleanup fund for businesses that are frequently vandalized.
Both votes will require a "second reading" vote at the next council meeting, when three new members take office.
Back pain sidelines Hayward councilman
Hayward City Councilman Al Mendall has missed the past two council meetings because of back problems.
"I had back surgery five or six years ago, and it's a chronic problem. I had a flare-up recently," he said.
The councilman has kept in touch with city staff members and the other members of the council during his absence. "But attending meetings has not been practical because I am under doctors' orders not to stand or sit for prolonged periods," he said.
Mendall is taking advantage of the holiday break to recover and said he expects to be at the next meeting in January.
Two Newark schools may add police officer
The City Council soon will consider whether to employ an armed Newark police officer who will patrol two campuses on a part-time basis.
The five-member council is scheduled to vote Jan. 10 on the plan, which calls for a "school liaison officer" to work four hours per day, for a total of 16 hours per week, at two campuses: Newark Junior High and MacGregor Continuation School.
Officials from the city and the school district have been discussing the issue for months, said Dave Marken, Newark's superintendent of schools. It has not been planned as a response to the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, Conn., he said.
An armed school resource officer currently provides law enforcement services five days a week at Newark Memorial High. In 2010, budget cuts forced the district to cease employing an officer at Newark Junior High.
No other schools in the district are patrolled by school resource officers, also members of the city police force, Marken said.

MondoMouse is a mouse enhancement for Mac OS X 10.4. It adds cool new capabilities to your mouse. Move or resize any window without clicking on it or bringing it to the front. Find and identify any window instantly without using Expose. Make focus follow the mouse, switching windows or applications just by letting your mouse hover over them.
Required OS: not specified

Just discovered this app. Amazing! Dunno how I live without it
You admit that you haven't downloaded MondoMouse and you don't know how it works, so why bother confusing people by saying that this is something OS X does out of the box? It's not.
MondoMouse let's you move and resize windows by using the keyboard combination of your choice. It's a feature common in many Unix "Window Managers", but you can't move and/or resize windows so easily if you don't do Mondo.
I am NOT in any way affiliated with MondoMouse. I just think it's a great product and hope that others try and register it. You can check my profile and see that I use quite a lot of Mac software, but this is one of the few apps that I really love!
QuickSilver, MondoMouse, iTerm, and KeyClick. My Mac wouldn't be so great to use without them!
Ever need to move that background window so that you can write some notes related to what you're looking at? Ever want to position your windows right next to each other? Do you need to read something in your email in the window behind your web browser? Does finding the bottom right corner of the window just to resize it drive you a bit crazy? MondoMouse can take care of all this for you.
Personally, I use Mondo with the FN key to active window moving and FN + CTRL to active window resizing. Works great on my Mac Book Pro and my old PowerBook too!
I've been using MondoMouse for about 2 months now. I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with the product. I registered the product within 48 hours of downloading the shareware version and I couldn't be happier.
MondoMouse works by using Mac OS X's STANDARD accessability API, so it's not some unsanity type hack. It's a legit part of the system. If you've got the developer tools installed, you can launch:
For example, I'm also a fan of the Textmate editor, but it doesn't support Apple's accessibility API at the moment, so I've registered skEdit instead.
The application's author has been extremely responsive to bug reports and even released a fix to a "CAPS LOCK" related bug within a few days of the bug report.
If you ever used the old Unix Window Maker Window Manager and are familiar with the luxury of moving and sizing windows without bothering to click the right place on the window to do so, you'll love MondoMouse.
I've already tested it on my developer copy of Panther and it works great. Can't recommend it highly enough. This is something Apple should definitely include in the Core OS. Works great with Path Finder too!
Yeah, val1984, but GeekBind doesn't work on Intel Macs, and hasn't been updated in a year, and the project is dead. You could probably get it to work on Intel but you'd have to be a software developer yourself to even figure out how.
GeekBind does about the same but it is free :P

SAN FRANCISCO -- A lethal combination of dehydration and liver failure led a missing San Francisco woman to wander deliriously into a San Francisco General Hospital stairwell, where she lay undiscovered for 17 days before her body was found by a hospital employee, the medical examiner said Friday.
The body of Lynne Spalding, 57, was discovered in a rarely used exterior stairwell on the south side of the hospital Oct. 8, nearly three weeks after she was reported missing from her hospital bed. While the San Francisco medical examiner's report helped to illuminate how Spalding met her fate during that time period, it did little to explain how long she had been in the stairwell before she died -- only that she was "deceased for some days before being found."
While her family said the woman had no pre-existing conditions, the medical examiner discovered problems with Spalding's liver likely brought on by alcoholism. Her body showed no other signs of physical trauma that would have caused her to lose consciousness, the medical examiner said.
Spalding's official cause of death was ruled as "probable electrolyte imbalance with delirium," and was ultimately deemed an "accident," according to the report.
Spalding's boyfriend and daughter initially drove her to SFGH from her Mission District apartment building Sept. 19 after she began acting increasingly disoriented and lost a significant amount of weight, family spokesman David Perry said. Spalding was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and hospitalized in a fifth-floor room, steps from the nurses station, for two days before she went missing.
Despite the fact that authorities claimed to have conducted a "thorough search of the hospital," Spalding was discovered by an engineering employee during a routine check that officials admitted only occurs four times a year.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee announced Oct. 10 that the city would hire an independent consultant to conduct a "thorough, independent review" of security systems and protocols at San Francisco General Hospital, and vowed to leave "no stone unturned."
"This should not have happened, and we all agree, and we want to prevent it from happening again," Lee said.

WASHINGTON — Calls for action flowed rapidly from Capitol Hill on the news of the crashed Malaysia Airlines jetliner.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.), a member of the House intelligence committee, said Russia is to blame if separatists took down the plane.

"If this was indeed a missile attack on a civilian airplane by pro-Russia separatists, it represents a tragic and dramatic escalation in this conflict," said Mr. Schiff. "Russia has continued to stoke the conflict and allow violent separatists in eastern Ukraine access to an array of Russian armaments." In response, he said, European countries should implement stronger sanctions against Russia—as the U.S. recently has.
Rep. Michael Turner (R., Ohio) sought a potentially more aggressive approach. "If reports prove accurate that this commercial airliner was shot down by either the Russian Federation or pro-Russian militants, a swift and decisive response from the international community is imperative," he said.
Urging caution, Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.), a member of the Senate intelligence committee called for action to reduce tensions. "The shocking destruction of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 with 295 people aboard has dramatically increased tensions in an already-volatile region, and all sides must take immediate steps to avoid further escalation," Sen. Udall said, adding that Mr. Putin should pull military forces back from the Ukrainian border and drop his support for Ukrainian separatists.

In one of the most bizarre twists of San Jose's five-year-long odyssey to move the Oakland A's to a downtown ballpark, team co-owner Lew Wolff on Saturday confirmed he is weighing the possibility of a temporary baseball stadium if he cannot extend his team's two-year lease at the Oakland Coliseum.
According to San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, among the sites Wolff is considering: San Jose Municipal Stadium, home of the San Jose Giants, the Class-A team of the San Francisco Giants, which has fought furiously against an A's relocation to the South Bay, claiming "territorial rights."
Wolff has looked at other stadiums, Reed said, including San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
Reed said there are "probably half a dozen sites" a temporary stadium could be located, including vacant land the city owns that is adjacent to the new 18,000-seat soccer stadium being constructed for the San Jose Earthquakes. Wolff co-owns the soccer team.
The mayor said Saturday that Wolff has talked for a while now about the idea of temporarily having the A's play in an existing stadium or building a new temporary structure. Reed said Wolff last mentioned it to him the day after the mayor's State of the City address on Feb. 20.
"It's pretty simple," Reed said by phone from Washington, D.C., where he is traveling this weekend on city business. "They have got to go somewhere. If he (Wolff) can't stay at the Coliseum, the commissioner is not going to tell them (the A's), 'You can't play baseball for a few years.'"
During a brief phone call from Durham, N.C., Wolff would say only that the plan for a temporary stadium, first reported Friday in the Silicon Valley Business Journal, is a possibility and that his statement in an email he wrote to the Business Journal stands.
"I am hopeful of expanding our lease at the Oakland Coliseum for an extended term," Wolff wrote. "If we cannot accomplish a lease extension, I hope to have an interim place to play in the Bay Area or in the area that reaches our television and radio fans -- either in an existing venue or in the erection of a temporary venue that we have asked our soccer stadium architect (360 Architecture) to explore."
Wolff wrote that the A's weren't likely to look outside the Bay Area or their media market for now.
Beyond that, he told this newspaper: "I have no further comment."
Reed, an attorney, said he doesn't believe the Giants' "territorial rights" argument prevents either a temporary or permanent ballpark from being located in San Jose.
San Jose last year filed a lawsuit against Major League baseball and Commissioner Bud Selig, claiming violations of antitrust laws against monopolies and interference with a contract the A's signed with San Jose securing an option to buy downtown property for a new ballpark. The city lost the first claim in federal court, but has appealed that case. The second claim will be heard in state court.
Asked if a temporary ballpark in the South Bay -- which the San Francisco Giants say is their "territory" -- could be legally contemplated, Reed said: "There is no legal constraint. There is only the constraint of Major League Baseball saying it's OK."
The concept of territorial rights, Reed said, "is not the law. It's something that Major League Baseball has made up."
The South Bay's new soccer stadium, west of Mineta San Jose International Airport, is scheduled to open in November and host its first match in March 2015. About 50 acres nearby that are slated for mixed development, including office, retail and hotel space, might be available for a temporary stadium, the mayor said.
The 4,200-seat Muni Stadium would be a particularly contentious site because the city for years has leased the stadium to the San Jose Giants. But Reed conceded that the venue "might be a problem'' anyway simply because it's too small.
MLB and San Francisco Giants representatives declined to comment Saturday.
Reed said the city has not yet analyzed any location, but it's "something he (Wolff) wants to pursue." And the city, he said, "would take a look at what we could do to help."
"I know it's one of the things Lew is thinking about doing to meet his need to solve the next few years while we're waiting for MLB to get out of the way and let the team complete their effort to move to San Jose."
The Oakland-Alameda County board that operates the Coliseum complex in November granted the A's a two-year extension that will keep the team there through 2015.
But the A's and the Oakland Raiders -- which received a one-year extension -- want new stadiums and view their continued share of the publicly owned Coliseum as a stopgap measure.
East Bay leaders, meanwhile, are continuing with plans to redevelop the Coliseum complex as a privately financed sports and entertainment facility.
Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, who chairs the Coliseum Joint Powers Authority, did not return phone calls Saturday. But he told the Business Journal that the board is working to negotiate a lease extension that would keep the A's in Oakland.
San Jose City Councilman Sam Liccardo, however, said "it seems to me that the (MLB) owners would want the A's playing somewhere rather than nowhere, and San Jose is ready for a privately financed stadium, whether it's temporary or permanent."
Added Liccardo, a mayoral candidate who had pushed for the antitrust suit against MLB: "I don't understand the fundamental premise of the antitrust exemption that the MLB is somehow privileged to avoid competition. We believe in competition in America. Every other employer and every other industry is required to compete."

New York State to Pursue Cellulosic Ethanol and Energy Crops
The budget for the State of New York includes an innovative $20 million program for the development of a cellulosic ethanol pilot facility, Governor George Pataki announced early in May. The pilot facility will produce ethanol from cellulosic biomass sources such as willow, switchgrass, paper mill wastes, and agricultural and forestry residues. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets will administer the program, using a competitive process to make the award. Currently, Iogen Corporation in Canada is the only commercial producer of cellulosic ethanol, generating about a million gallons annually from wheat, oat, and barley straw in their demonstration facility. In addition, several U.S. ethanol plants are engaged in research and demonstration projects with DOE, and DOE operates a pilot plant at its National Renewable Energy Laboratory. See the governor's press release and the Renewable Fuels Association's Cellulosic Ethanol Web page.
The governor also announced that the state is supporting the development of dedicated crops for the biomass energy industry. The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets awarded grants of $22,385 for Dutchess County Cornell Cooperative Extension and Cornell University to try growing a 15-acre crop of switchgrass, and $60,000 for the State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry to develop its first commercial willow plantation. The willow plantation will be located near a wood-burning power plant in Lyonsdale, about 40 miles north of Utica, and managed in cooperation with the power plant. Lyonsdale Biomass is a 19-megawatt power plant that also supplies steam to a nearby paper plant, and is partly owned by Catalyst Renewables. The willow plantation could provide fuel for the power plant or for a cellulosic ethanol facility. In addition, the state awarded a grant of $60,000 to Northern Biodiesel in Ontario, about 10 miles east of Rochester, to develop a rapeseed market for the biodiesel industry. See the Department of Agriculture and Markets press release and the Catalyst Renewables Web site.
New York is also supporting the development of more traditional ethanol production facilities within the state. Governor Pataki announced on May 8th that the state will award nearly $6 million to Western New York Energy for its development of a dry mill ethanol plant in Shelby, about 30 miles northeast of Buffalo. When it begins production in January 2008, the $87.4 million facility is expected to convert 6 million bushels of corn into about 50 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol each year. See the governor's press release.

Making Things Complicated
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 7:28:20 AM in Patek Philippe (29)
Patek Philippe makes things "complicated". But hey, that is what the most sophisticated Swiss watchmakers are supposed to do. Complications, which are any function of a timepiece other than the essential display of the time, are the norms at Patek Philippe's watchmaking workshops at Geneva and Vallee de Joux. The brand's Caliber 89, launched in 1989 to commemorate its 150th anniversary, is one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made. It carries 33 complications that include chronographs, calendars, the date of Easter, sidereal time and a 2800-celestial chart. Getting all those functions working took 5 years of research, 4 years of manufacture, and 1, 728 parts crammed masterfully together in a 41mm thick case. Indeed, Patek Philippe knows how to make a science out of watchmaking.
Check out Patek's collections at Shreve & Co in Post Street, San Francisco.

"He's grabbing a knife. He's saying he's going to kill her ... He's saying 'I'm gonna give you 5, 4, 3, 2, 1' or something. He's like, counting down to like, kill her or something."
In a harrowing eight-minute recording of a 911 call, released by Hayward police Friday, a composed but increasingly worried 11-year-old girl described her father's threats toward her mother, and pleaded for officers to hurry to the family's apartment the night of Aug. 14.
In the wake of the father's death at the hands of police, the family contended that he was unarmed and posed no real threat to them or the arriving officers. But the recording seems to run counter to that contention, though it doesn't make clear exactly what happened before the fatal shots were fired.
On the recording, the girl frequently refers to a knife held by her father, 37-year-old Donny Gene Simmons Jr., as he threatened to kill his wife if she wouldn't hand over his car keys. The girl, who is not being identified by this newspaper, tells the dispatcher at one point that her father had been drinking.
The call began at 9:23 p.m., when the girl told the dispatcher that her father had locked her mother in a room and that the two of them were screaming. The dispatcher asks the girl if her father is hitting her mother; the girl says "I think he's hitting himself or something and he's telling her to hit him or something. He said he was going to kill my mom."
The girl first mentions the knife about four minutes into the 911 call. "He said, 'I'm gonna hurt you, (expletive),' " she adds.
Asked to describe the knife, the girl notes that it's "one of those long ones ... it's silver." The girl's 12-year-old sister can be heard in the background, begging Simmons to put the knife down.
The family has insisted that Simmons never had a knife, and that the only knife in sight in the apartment was the one the father used to prepare dinner earlier than evening.
The young girl remains calm throughout the call, though she sometimes responds to the dispatcher's specific questions with unrelated observations.
"I don't want you to go out there," the dispatcher tells the girl at one point, after she tells him she's leaving the room to check to see if her father still has the knife. "I don't want you to do anything that's going to hurt you."
At one point, there appears to be confusion among police over the location of the apartment, which is in the 2100 block of West Tennyson Road. The dispatcher tries to get the girl to clarify if she lives in the office building at the apartment complex.
While the family has said that the officers did not announce their arrival at the apartment, the dispatcher can be heard telling the girl that officers would be kicking in the door.
Moments later, a loud bang or bangs are heard, apparently the sound of police entering the apartment and firing on Simmons.
The young girl falls silent for a matter of seconds, though screams can be heard in the background. After several moments, someone yells "They shot him!"
The girl returns to the phone and calmly says "they're here" before thanking the dispatcher and ending the call.
Police have maintained that Simmons lunged at officers as they entered the apartment, though the recording does not offer any verbal indication of that.
Recordings from the officers' microphones were not released Friday. Authorities have reviewed these recordings, says Forkus, who claims that there were no telling remarks made between the time officers entered and when they opened fire.
"There's nothing that comes on the air and says 'He's lunging at me!'" Sgt. Ken Forkus said. "But it was very fast evolving, just boom, boom, boom. It's all in a matter of very few seconds that it all takes place."
The officer "was forced to shoot," Forkus said. "He had no choice. It was a split-second decision to make, and it was done."
Investigators completed interviews Aug. 16 with the officers involved, who have not been identified. An investigations team with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office is also probing the case.
Simmons, a father of two who was married to his high-school sweetheart, La Donna, for 13 years, had just been given a promotion the week before, from working a temp job at the Blommer Chocolate Company in Union City to becoming a full-time warehouse man in shipping and receiving, his family said. He was ecstatic about the new phase of his life, they said, along with the raise and benefits that would come with full-time status.
"They didn't give my brother a chance," Jack Simmons said last week. "Now my nieces have to grow up without a dad. His family doesn't deserve this. He didn't deserve this."
On Friday afternoon, Simmons's sister, Colleen Berini, said she had not yet heard the 911 recording. "Let me listen to the tapes. It's my brother, you know."
Jack Simmons also declined to comment until he had listened to the recording.

Update: Six Dallas Cowboys, past and present, on state's witness list should Josh Brent go to trial
Update at 3:52 p.m.: According to the state's witness list submitted by Dallas County First Assistant Criminal District Attorney Heath Harris on Thursday, six former and current Dallas Cowboys could take the stand if and when Josh Brent goes to trial.
Cornerback Orlando Scandrick and safeties Danny McCray and Barry Church are on the list, among dozens of Irving police officers and rescue workers Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission officials and other authorities and witnesses. Also on the list: Mike Jenkins, the cornerback who signed with Oakland in April; Gerald Sensabaugh, the safety who retired in May; and Lawrence Vickers, the fullback release just last week.
The entire witness list is posted below.
Original item posted at 10:33 a.m.: A state district judge Friday placed "limited restrictions" on the pre-trial comments the lawyers in the intoxication manslaughter case of former Dallas Cowboys lineman Josh Brent can make.
Judge Robert Burns III made the oral ruling during a six-minute hearing in his courtroom that was attended by Brent, who retired from the Cowboys Thursday.
Burns issued the order in response to a defense motion after Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins made some comments about the case during a recent radio interview. Defense attorney, George Milner, contended in his motion that that Watkins' comments were "highly prejudicial" and might impact the case against Brent.
The 25-year-old Brent is accused of driving drunk and crashing his car in December, which led to the death of his best friend and Cowboys teammate, Jerry Brown Jr. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted.
In his motion, Milner asked the judge to order defense attorneys and prosecutors to comply with a specific rule in the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct that deals with what lawyers can say before a trial. The judge, who used much of the hearing to criticize what he labeled as often "inaccurate" reporting on the case by some members of the print media, basically granted Milner's motion. Prosecutors offered no objection.
"There aren't any other remedies available to the court to protect the right to a fair trial . . . the court does find that an order restricting pre-trial publicity is required," Burns said, adding that he would make a written ruling on the matter later Friday or on Monday. The judge said that neither side would be prohibited from speaking to the media but he cautioned them to "not repeat things that may very well not be admissible at trial."
Watkins, who is scheduled to appear at a hearing Friday related to contempt of court proceedings against him could not be reached for comment. But Heath Harris, his second in command and the lead prosecutor in the Brent case, said prosecutors had no issue with the judge's ruling and see it as only another step toward Brent's September 23rd trial date.
"I have no problem with what the judge did today," Harris said. "We're ready for this case to go to trial. This is about what the citizens of Dallas County think about intoxication manslaughter."
Milner said that the judge's order simply reinforces a rule that's already on the books. "The only difference is now, it's enforceable with a contempt of court ruling," he said. Continue reading

Snuffleupagus Spotted: MakerBot Can Now 3-D Print 'Sesame Street' Characters
Apple's iPod wouldn't have succeeded without iTunes, a digital store of hit music to draw buyers in. Likewise, to get a 3-D printer in every home MakerBot will need a storefront of hits.
It might have just landed one: Mr. Snuffleupagus.
MakerBot, the company that helped make 3-D printer a tech buzzword, announced Wednesday that it reached a global licensing deal with "Sesame Street." Characters from the popular kids show will be made available for download in the MakerBot Digital Store, and the company plans to sell 3-D printed "Sesame Street" figures in its retail stores, too.
Over the next few months, new characters will be made available. But it's all starting today with the plastic-rendered Mr. Snuffleupagus.
If you have a MakerBot Replicator 2 or fifith-generation Replicator, you can buy the digital file to print a palm-sized Snuffy for $1.29. Printing Mr. Snuffleupagus should take just under three hours.
MakerBot Chief Executive Bre Pettis said in a prepared statement that the "Sesame Street" deal is a special moment, both personally and for the company. "I used to work for Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and I grew up watching Sesame Street," Pettis said.

MANATEE COUNTY - A woman returning home at 2:45 a.m. on New Year's Day reported that someone had shot a single bullet through her rental house while she was away.

Deputies say they established that a neighbor, Pamala Bivens, 31, had accidentally fired a gun in the direction of the home and struck it. Bivens was served with a notice to appear on a culpable negligence charge.
