When the sad news arrived that film critic Roger Ebert had lost his very public battle with cancer in April 2013, social networking sites instantaneously transformed into public mourning places. Fond recollections of the 70-year-old Chicago Sun-Times journalist appeared everywhere, often accompanied with snippets from his approachable, passionate and incisive reviews. The following day, newspapers nationwide memorialized one of their own, a man, who especially in his final years, taught us much about living and dying with dignity.
"Life Itself," filmmaker Steve James' moving tribute to America's most popular film critic, serves as a poignant reminder of what a distinguished journalist and courageous man he was. It's the story of both his influential career -- which led to one of the most unlikely hit TV shows ever with co-host Gene Siskel -- along with his humbling determination to live life to its fullest, even when cancer claimed his lower jaw,
Based on Ebert's same-titled, best-selling 2011 memoir, the documentary is full of intimate moments between Ebert and his wife, Chaz, during the final four months of his life and manages to celebrate its subject without turning him into a saint. Given how much we got to know Ebert through reviews, blog posts and interviews, most of "Life Itself" isn't exactly revelatory. What it does give us, however, is an intimate perspective on his relationships and full recognition of how much influence he wielded.
James, a celebrated documentary filmmaker, knows from personal experience what Ebert's full-press support could do. When Ebert (and Siskel) gave his documentary "Hoop Dreams" a big thumbs up in 1994 before it even had a distributor, it became one of the most talked-about films of the year. And when "Dreams" wasn't nominated in the best documentary category, an outraged Ebert took on Oscar with a ferocity as powerful as a Muhammad Ali punch.
Fittingly, other filmmakers who benefitted from Ebert's praise are featured, along with fellow critics such as Time's Richard Corliss and New York Times' A.O. Scott. Gregory Nava ("El Norte"), Werner Herzog ("Grizzly Man") and Martin Scorsese (who also served as "Life Itself's" co- executive producer) recount what Ebert did for their careers. Scorsese's segments in particular stand out, especially his reaction to receiving a Ebert's thumbs-down review for "The Color of Money," the director's weak sequel to Robert Rossen's "The Hustler."
These candid insider accounts make "Life" pleasurable for any movie fan, but James' film is at its best when the focus turns on two of Ebert's longest partnerships, with his fellow critic and "Sneak Previews"/"At The Movies" co-host Siskel, and with his wife Chaz.
The rivalry between Siskel, the late Chicago Tribune film critic, and Ebert is legendary, and James goes behind-the-scenes to illustrate just how bitter it could get. One of the most revelatory moments shows Ebert and Siskel relentlessly sniping back and forth while shooting a promotion spot for their long-running TV show. But even though the competition grew fierce and made a potent combination on the "Siskel & Ebert" TV shows, something more was going on. And James, through interviews with the shows' producers and Siskel's wife, Marlene, reveal that at the root of this bitterness lay true affection. All of this will resonate with those of us who grew up watching "Siskel & Ebert" in its various incarnations on TV.
But the greatest moments of "Life Itself" are when James turns to life itself between Roger and Chaz. The two met in an AA meeting, and their romance changed Roger for the better, friends said. The scenes in which Chaz and Roger navigate the last four months of his life, when Roger has lost his voice and his health suffers, will move you tremendously. It's a lovely portrait of two people in unconditional love.
How fitting then that, in the end, this personal story presents us with one of the best, most honest on-screen romances recently depicted on film. After watching "Life Itself," you get the sense it's that human aspect of the film that would make Roger Ebert most proud.

The State Theater in New Brunswick is perhaps the nicest place I have ever seen the boys. Not nearly as funky as the Fox in Atlanta, it is the type of place you would expect see the Philharmonic, not a rock show. It made the Tower Theater we visited the night before look like a complete dump in comparison. I can't tell you how relieved I was to see how nice the place looked as I walked in with my Dad in tow.
It seemed my parents just couldn't fathom why I would travel to see so many shows by the same band ,so I invited my Dad to this show and he loved it! Needless to say, I did, too. It is still one of my favorites.
The "Tweezer" was the first time I heard Phish really take a left turn from the structure of the song. They completely left the typical "Tweezer" jam behind (they were in a groove of playing "typical" "Tweezer"s at the time) and forged ahead, landing in "Manteca" before coming full circle back into "Tweezer". This may not be shocking to anybody now, but it completely blew my mind at the time, and I was already pretty well versed in things Phish.
While that was perhaps the musical highlight of the show, it was a far cry from my personal highlight. The real magic of this show was the moment the boys absolutely nailed the big "Baby's mouth" harmony in "Curtain". It was so perfect and beautiful it sent chills down my spine. I turned to my Dad and he to me, both of us grinning ear-to-ear, and I could tell he had the chills, too. This is absolutely my favorite Phish moment, ever. Incomparable!
After the show, I asked him what he thought. He loved it! He recalled how caught up in Beatlemania he had been as a youngster, and said he completely understood my obsession. His one complaint: "they just shouldn't play one note over and over like that." Upon further questioning I surmised that he was referring to the "Melt" jam that featured Trey locking in on one repetitive pattern for a solid minute. He didn't like that!

NEW ORLEANS -- Coach Jim Harbaugh, in a rare jovial mood, reacted with aplomb Monday regarding President Obama's concerns about the safety of football.
Obama said Sunday that if he had a son, he'd "have to think long and hard" about whether he'd let him play football.
"If President Obama feels that way, then there will be a little bit less competition for Jack Harbaugh when he gets old," the 49ers coach said in reference to his 4-month-old son.
Harbaugh played 15 seasons in the NFL before embarking on a coaching career that's delivered him and the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII, where they'll face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Harbaugh's wife, Sarah, gave birth to their third child, Jack Jr., on Sept. 4, only five days before the 49ers' season-opening win at Green Bay.
"He's a really big kid and has an enormous head," Harbaugh said. "As soon as he grows into that head, he'll be something. It's early but expectations are high for young Jack."
Guard Alex Boone, who became a father a year ago, said he'll "absolutely" let his son Jonathan play football someday.
"You grow up knowing it's physical, and it takes a different kind of guy to play this game," Boone said. "There are going to be injuries and problems, but we're working to correct them."
Cornerback Tarell Brown echoed those sentiments, stating: "I can understand where President Obama is coming from with saying that, but at the same time the league is doing a great job of preventing a lot of those things."
Linebacker Aldon Smith also emphasized that football's physical element is understood from Day 1 by players. Said Smith: "We all signed up for it. It's not like we signed up and thought we were going to play tennis."

People not always focused in on these great players' offensive skills and attributes, little people talked about how good these guys were defensively. They are all stoppers. Now, top 10 greatest defensive players of all-time in NBA history -
1. Hakeem Olajuwon
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabaar
3. Gary Payton
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. Michael Jordan
6. Dikembe Mutombo
7. John Stockton
8. Bill Russell
9. Ben Wallace
10. Alonzo Mourning
Feel free to add who is missing.
same here
Where'd you get this list? Bill Russell at 8? Where is Scottie Pippen, many believe he was a better defender than Jordan. Ummm no Tim Duncan? He's been on more all defensive teams than anyone on that list and he doesn't make the top ten? Bruce Bowen or how about Larry Bird's favorite player-Dennis Johnson?
Don't be offended but this list is at best incomplete and at worst not very intelligent.
My list is similar, but i made a couple changes, its not in any particular order, but the top 10 are
Scottie Pippen
Michael Jordan
Dennis Rodman
Hakeem Olajuwon
Bill Russell
Alonzo Mourning
Dikembe Mutumbo
Gary Payton
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain
i excluded stockton, because he wasnt as much of a stopper, as he was a stealer, where scottie was a LOCKDOWN defender who could guard almost any position
ben wallace is out because i had to make room for the real thing,dennis rodman, an undersized gritty defensive player, who did all the dirty work for his team, ben wallace is really more of a watered down version of dennis
In no particular order MJ Scottie Dennis Rodman Wilt Chamberlain Bill Russell Alonzo Mourning Hakeem Olajuwon Dikembe Mutumbo Kareem Gary "The Glove" Payton
Jordam, Olajuwan, Pippen, Payton, Abdul-Jabbar, Howard, Rondo, Russell, Chaimberlain. Not in order
To be honest, I'm kinda worried that I don't see Kevin Garnett, Ron Artest, Shane Battier, or Bruce Bowen. They're on my list, along with Manu Ginobli, Rajon Rondo, Scottie Pippen, Ben Wallace, Gary Payton, and Bill Russell. Not in order though. Lol, You can't forget the active players!

In Memoriam: Rod Shealy
All of us at Autism Speaks are profoundly saddened at the passing of Rodney Ryan "Rod" Shealy, Sr., brother of Lorri Unumb, Autism Speaks senior policy advisor & counsel. A longtime South Carolina political advisor and businessman, Rod helped Lorri draft and find legislative support for the state's autism insurance reform law, named "Ryan's Law" after Lorri's son with autism. Colleagues and South Carolina State legislators remember Rod as a man passionate about the political process and his role in it, but also as one who never missed out on the fun and games of politics. He pushed those he worked with to always do their best and, no matter how far behind in the polls a client may have been, he never once doubted his ability to win. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Shealy and Unumb families and ask the autism community to join us in mourning the loss of this great political ally. Thank you, Rod, for seeing the potential in your nephew, Ryan, and others like him, and for the critical role you played in starting the autism insurance reform movement that is now helping families across the nation access the insurance coverage they deserve.
August 20, 2010 at 8:33 am
Prayer to Lorri & family.. They are all in my heart & thoughts.

Hi! I've been using PMS for over a year now but have never felt that I should bother you guys here at the bord with my problems but I've been considering to donate lately and that has got me thinking that maybe I kinda deserve some help.
Well, my problem is this:
Some times streaming high bitrate movies (6gb or so in size) works just fine, but as many times they just stutter entirely. I get the feeling PMS is a "mood player" and sometimes just can't be bothered to work properly. I can for example stream a heavy video one day (6gb mkv) without problem and the next it won't play a 250mb .avi without stuttering like mad! It's the inconsistency that makes me crazy about this! If some formats never worked or some bitrates never works, that's fine. I'll understand it. But when something works fine one day and doesn't work the other day, well that's when i just wanna claw my eyes out.
I'm using a PS3, desktop with a C2D 2,66mhz processor, 4gb RAM and the whole thing is wired with CAT6 cable. The transcoding buffer s set at 600mb and fills up nicely (that's how It's supposed to be right?).
I've read through the faq without not really finding any faults, and honestly not understanding all of it either. Can anybody help me?

*Note - Please excuse the crappy pictures. I took them while working in my stone room under fluorescent lighting.
Here's the stones I used. The top one shown is the size and shape of what we're selling (you would receive a qty of 4 when ordering). The bottom two stones show a worn down stone that's been snapped in half to make two little fingerpad sized stones. I like to have both sizes because the larger works great on flats while the smaller goes in and out of irregularities and easily conforms to curves.
Here's the knife I started with. It's one of the "practice yanagis" that we used to sell.
First I begin by flattening the blade road with a coarse stone to make it as even as possible. Once that's done I move onto the King 800x to make a matte finish and bring out contrast. Here's what it looks like after the King 800x is used.
Now I break out the synthetic fingerstones and test to see what I have. Here's the initial results.
Not bad but look at that bird's beak - we've got to do something with that. So I go back to my coarse stone, remove the bird's beak, and do all the above over again.
Following that I break out the polishing stones and do the edge bevel but I scuffed up my nice pretty blade road so I grab the synthetic fingerstones once again and hit the entire blade road and edge bevel. Here's the end results.
*Note - These pictures taken the next day outside in natural daylight.
So there you have it - Dave's secret weapon de-bunked and now available for sale. What you see is exactly what it does. Keep in mind that the knife used above is a $29 (retail) knife giving these results, imagine what a good knife would look like?

SAN JOSE -- Just days before the recent $590.5 million Powerball lottery drawing, 22-year-old Michael Garcia watched a San Jose Sharks game with his brother and sister-in-law as they tossed around ideas about what they would do if they won the big prize.
"I said that one thing I wanted to do was help students that couldn't afford college," said Garcia, a full-time student at San Jose City College and part-time security guard. "There are so many people who want to go to college but can't pay for it."
On the day of the draw, Garcia, who says he grew up "basically poor" in San Jose with a single mother and multiple siblings, was neck-deep in finals. Cramming for four tests, Garcia dragged himself to his local 7-Eleven store to buy a couple of Monster energy drinks to get him through the study session that would last until his graveyard work shift later that night.
"A guy in front of me bought tickets, so I decided to get some too," said Garcia, who purchased nine Quick Pick tickets at the 7-Eleven store at 2440 Almaden Expressway.
Late Saturday night, hours after the draw, Garcia took a break from studying to check his numbers. After looking over his tickets multiple times, he found one that matched all five numbers, 22, 10, 13, 14, 52, but missed the Powerball number, 11.
Garcia ran to his mother, Vivian Ramos, a special-education aid with whom he shares a two-bedroom apartment in San Jose.
"I asked her, 'How much do you think I won?'" Garcia said. She told him, "Probably a couple thousand dollars."
Little did they know, the ticket Garcia held in his hand rendered him an immediate millionaire, worth a hefty $2.3 million -- the largest prize in California since Powerball began selling multistate tickets here April 8.
Garcia's ticket is one of two big winners in California. The other was purchased at another 7-Eleven in the Kern County town of Taft, lottery officials said. That winner, who has not stepped forward, also correctly picked five of six numbers in Saturday's mega-million jackpot.
Both Garcia and the Kern County winner will receive $2,309,228, lottery officials said. After taxes, the take-home prize comes out to about $1.73 million per person in a one-time payout.
A ticket sold in Florida hit the jackpot, worth about $590.5 million, though it has not yet been claimed.
The odds of selecting all six numbers was one in 175.2 million. As with other state lottery ticket sales, a portion benefits public education.
Though Garcia admits he fell into more money than he's ever seen, the young student is staying grounded and says he plans to continue working his graveyard shifts -- at least until the fall semester starts. Then he'll return full time to study computer science with the goal of becoming a computer programmer.
"At first, I was just getting my associate degree, now I can afford to get my bachelor's," Garcia said. "I can start my career, maybe start a company. It's just going to allow me to do things I wanted to do a lot easier."
Garcia's sister, Elizabeth Velazquez, 26, describes him as "the hardest-working guy you'll ever meet."
"If anyone deserves this, it's my brother," Velazquez said. "He went right back to work right after he won."
Garcia said he is being cautious about the money rather than considering anything lavish. He said it will allow him to be comfortable as he pursues his education. Even the idea of buying a home seems like an extraordinary purchase to the down-to-earth "family man," who acknowledges that a modest house in San Jose would eat up half his winnings.
In addition to paying for college and helping some of his friends do the same, Garcia says he has few immediate plans for spending the money. He wants to take a trip to visit his father, a construction worker in Texas, and to eventually move into his own place.
"And, yes," said a smiling Garcia, "I'm getting my mom a car."

|Pope Francis
For decades now many observant Catholics have longed for the inclusion of their gay family members in the life of the Catholic Church.
The people who have most ardently sought that inclusion have been gay Catholics themselves, of course. That's because for decades, instead of a welcome, at best they got bitterly divisive rhetoric, and at worst sanctimonious lectures.
The end message was ultimately the same: you are sinful, you are less than, you are not welcome. Having looked for sanctuary and Christian compassion they instead found silence and a locked door.
That rejection, whether it was intended to or not, did serious violence to their dignity and spirit. It's not for nothing that the most prominent gay Catholic group in America is actually called Dignity.
Women have often found the Church to be a cold house, too. On issues like abortion and birth control, which are often central to their autonomy, they have been demonized and pushed to the margins. The most conservative elements in the church are happy to keep them there.
Contemplating these issues Pope Francis said this week: 'The church's pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently. We have to find a new balance...'
With these comments, which acknowledge the way divisive social issues have been used by conservatives to banish the heretical, he sent shockwaves around the world. Many commentators gay and straight responded with untrammeled delight. Could it be that the long cold war could finally be ending they wondered?
People don't like to be reminded, but thirty years ago when AIDS was decimating a generation of gay men across this nation many priests and bishops here refused to allow their funerals to be performed in local churches. That practice continued on and off right up to this decade.
As late as March 2005, San Diego Bishop Robert Brom refused to allow a funeral to be performed in a local Catholic church for John McCusker, a gay man who ran several successful gay nightclubs. Brom had called McCusker's business activities 'contrary to sacred Scripture and the moral teachings of the church' and said that by denying him a Catholic funeral, he was trying to avoid a 'public scandal.'
Bishop Brom thought that refusing the funeral of a gay man would be much less scandalous than performing it.
Shocking actions like this are taken by men like Bishop Brom because they see an era-defining threat emanating from the 'evil' gays. I say 'evil' advisedly. As late as July 2003 the Vatican was denouncing same-sex unions as 'evil' and calling upon Catholics to oppose any legislation that would grant them equality.
As always though, the Church publicly condemned as it privately helped, establishing the National Catholic AIDS Network to provide care to AIDS patients, their families and loved ones. By 2008 Catholic Charities USA had 1,600 agencies providing major services to AIDS patients, including housing and mental health services. It's a work of Christian compassion that can not be sufficiently acknowledged.
But the Church has always hedged its bets like this, with an inconstancy that supporters and critics alike find maddening.
As the clergy and the laity respond on the ground like Christians are supposed to, they do so far from the censorious eyes and unforgiving words of the powerful conservative hierarchies that deeply disapprove of these kinds of mixed messages.
What is so striking about Pope Francis' published comments this week is that he has apparently chosen faith over ideology. The Church has grown 'obsessed' with preaching about abortion, gay marriage and contraception he said - but he has chosen not to speak of those issues, preferring common ground to points of departure.
Instead of abortion or same sex marriage he has spoken instead of poverty and injustice and even financial crime. If he continues like this he could actually become the groundbreaking leader that many have longed for. The truth is it's still much too early to tell.
But in language that is increasingly appalling to many conservative Catholics worldwide Pope Francis said yesterday that he wants set a new tone for the church, saying it should be a 'home for all' and not a 'small chapel' focused on doctrine, conservatism and a limited agenda of moral teachings.

Andrew Zolintakis threw for 210 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the visiting Campolindo High football team stay unbeaten with a 35-20 win over Las Lomas.
Las Lomas (5-3, 3-1 DFAL) came out strong, marching down the field in 12 plays and chewing up six minutes, two seconds in scoring a touchdown on the game's opening possession. Zack Fulks ran the ball in from the 2 for the score.
However, Zolintakis and his Campolindo (7-0, 3-0 DFAL) teammates weren't fazed, scoring 21 points on their first three possessions to close out the first half.
"They definitely put some pressure on us but we've been in those same situations all year," Zolintakis said. "We took their first punch and tried to answer back."
It only took the Cougars five plays to tie the score — Zolintakis hit Tyler Petite on a 21-yard crossing route to make it 7-7. The next possession, Campolindo took the lead on an 80-yard drive with Nick Fadelli running the ball in from the 1.
"We knew coming into it, since we were both undefeated, this may be the league championship," Zolintakis said. "It was obviously a big game and we just came in and treated it as a huge game."
The Knights pulled off a terrific onside kick to start the second half with kicker Trenton Matson slamming the ball off of Scott Singh, who was on the front line for the Cougars. Matson recovered the ball and it led to a 5-yard touchdown pass from Shawn Hessler to Fulks.
Fadelli scored on a 2-yard run early in the fourth quarter to make it 28-14. Johnny Marinchak caught a 13-yard touchdown from Hessler to cut it to 28-20, but on the second play of the next drive, Fadelli delivered the dagger when he took a screen pass from Zolintakis and turned it into a 60-yard touchdown.
Acalanes 42, Dougherty Valley 28: The Dons scored 35 unanswered points spanning three quarters and quarterback Casey Harrington was near perfect, throwing four touchdowns passes as they held off Dougherty Valley 42-28.
The Wildcats opened the game with a ground-and-pound 11-play drive that finished with a Calvin Montano 20-yard rushing touchdown.
The Dons responded on their first drive with a Pete Mitchell one-yard touchdown run. Then, with the Dons leading 14-7 in the second quarter, Harrington connected with senior wide receiver Andrew Bosshart for an 85-yard touchdown to give Acalanes (5-3, 1-3 DFAL) a 21-7 halftime lead.
Perhaps out of desperation, Dougherty Valley (4-3, 1-2 DFAL) attempted an onside kick at the start of the second half and failed to recover. Acalanes answered with a 50-yard drive that resulted in Bosshart's second touchdown of the game, this one a 6-yard pass from Harrington that put the Dons in the driver's seat.
The Wildcats didn't go down quietly as they strung together three second half touchdowns by Lanrae Adelekan, Afolabi Adeoti and Trent Ruckman, but it wasn't enough.
Harrington finished completing 24-of-30 passes for a staggering 369 yards. Bosshart totaled 127 receiving yards on seven catches for two touchdowns. Brett Merrill added nine catches for 101 yards and a touchdown.
Adelekan led the Wildcats in rushing with 165 yards on 22 carries.
-- Erik Stordahl, correspondent
Dublin 28, Alhambra 14: The Gaels bolted out to a 21-0 lead and held on to post their first DFAL win of the season.
Josh Nobida connected with Jabari Jefferson for all three of the Gael's first-half touchdowns.
Alhambra cut the deficit to 21-14 in the third quarter, but that was as close as the Bulldogs got.

California's Central Valley runs from Red Bluff to Bakersfield. The Central Valley is No. 2 on the 25 most important and threatened waterfowl habitats on the continent. The Coastal California region extends from Bodega Bay south to northern Mexico and includes the important San Francisco and San Diego bays. This region also includes the Salton Sea. Water is a crucial factor in the amount and quality of waterfowl habitat. There is even greater uncertainty over the reliability of water supplies to the Central Valley's privately managed wetlands. DU and its partners have made considerable headway in the Central Valley since the early 1990s, resulting in substantial increases in waterfowl habitat. About 60,000 acres of wetlands have been restored since DU's Valley/Bay CARE (Conserving Agricultural Resources and the Environment) program began. In addition, more than 56,800 acres of existing wetlands have received long-term protection.

(Drunk) Boy Meets (Nerd) Girl Love Story Wins Sundance Raves
Last year at the Sundance Film Festival, James Ponsoldt's second film, "Smashed"—about a couple struggling with alcoholism—won the Special Jury Prize and got picked up by Sony Pictures Classics. This year, Ponsoldt returned to the U.S. dramatic competition with "The Spectacular Now," a coming-of-age drama starring Shailene Woodley ("The Descendants") and breakout star Miles Teller, who won raves for his portrayal of an alcoholic teen.
"When I saw his audition I thought he has that John Cusack thing mixed with Elvis mixed with Bill Murray," says producer Andrew Lauren following a Tuesday screening of the movie.
The film's plot, adapted from Tim Tharp's novel by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber ("(500) Days of Summer") centers around Teller's character, Sutter Keely, a charismatic but often drunk high-school senior—the actor described him as a "sad clown" in a Q&A session—who falls in love with Woodley's Amy, a brainy type with problems of her own. The film garnered positive reviews: The Daily Beast called it "one of the most poignant and gratifying films of this year's Sundance" Critics drew comparisons to 1980's John Hughes films, Cameron Crowe's classic "Say Anything," as well as last year's teen hit, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower."
"We never looked at ["Perks"] as our model," says Mr. Lauren, who financed the film for under $5 million, less than a third of the budget of "Perks," which starred Emma Watson and brought in nearly $30 million globally at the box office. "Hopefully we can have that kind of success."
The film was among the first features to sell following strong interest from multiple distributors. A24, a new multiplatform player announced that it bought the North American rights to the film on Monday, and has plans to release the movie theatrically this summer.
"They think it has commercial viability which is very important to us," said Mr. Lauren. "They see this as a 'Garden State' or a '(500) Days of Summer'—the type of films that kids are dying to see." As for the common theme of alcoholism all of Ponsoldt's three feature films, Mr. Lauren says it is "coincidental."

Obama declares major disaster in NYC, Long Island
Published 6:50 AM EDT Oct 30, 2012
President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in New York and Long Island.
The declaration makes federal funding available to people in the area. It bore the brunt of the sea surge from a superstorm that hit the East Coast on Monday.
The National Hurricane Center said that as of 5 a.m. Tuesday, the storm was moving westward across Pennsylvania and was centered about 90 miles west of Philadelphia.
It lost its hurricane status on Monday and is now considered an extratropical cyclone.
It is expected to move into western New York on Tuesday night and move into Canada on Wednesday.

Following the arraignment of a top Silicon Valley executive on four felony counts of burglary for swapping barcodes on a treasure trove of Lego toys, there was no shortage of theories Tuesday about what would turn a highly-paid tech titan into a sophisticated serial sticker stealer.
"I don't think it's money," said Supervising Deputy District Attorney Cindy Hendrickson, who brought the hammer of justice down on Thomas Langenbach during formal proceedings in Palo Alto. Langenbach declined through his attorney to enter a plea, and a hearing was scheduled for June 20.
"Money might have been a part of what brought him pleasure, but I think all indications are there's something way more complex here," Hendrickson said. "Remember, he's going out and paying for these things. This is something that he did in a painstaking way, and it took time, it took effort and it took expense. I don't think you do that just for the money. There had to be something else. Beating the system? An element of compulsion?
"I think it seems clear he took some enjoyment from having Legos around. But I think he also obviously had way more than any one human could possibly enjoy on their own in a legally acceptable way."
Ever since smartphones got their own bar code scanners, it's become commonplace for store security officers -- who carefully monitor surveillance cameras at big box chains such as Target -- to witness shoppers taking an intense interest in the computer-generated pricing codes.
But "loss prevention" officers at the Target on Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino had never seen anyone take an interest in bar codes quite like Thomas Langenbach, a top Silicon Valley executive with the global software giant SAP. Prosecutors charged Monday that Langenbach used the tools of his trade -- computer codes and the Internet -- to steal a Santa's workshop worth of Lego toys. They say Langenbach brought his own bar code stickers to the store, used them to cover up the real ones, and then purchased his plastic prey at enormous discounts.
Police in Mountain View, where many of the alleged thefts occurred at the Target store on Showers Drive, said that after obtaining a search warrant, they discovered a huge cache of Legos at Langenbach's large, $2 million San Carlos home, and eight Ziploc baggies containing dozens of bar code stickers in his car. Investigators counted "hundreds of unopened boxes of Legos," said Hendrickson, including 46 boxes of the "Magma Monster" set, and 35 boxes each of "A Frog Rush" and "Pharaoh's Quest" Lego sets. He also had a Wookie bar's worth of Lego "Star Wars" characters.
Quite a brickyard
Langenbach's eBay selling handle was "tomsbrickyard," and police believe he sold 2,100 items in just over a year on the auction website for $30,000. He had set up a stage in his home with the name on a whiteboard that he placed behind the items he posted for sale. "He had this whole enterprise going," Hendrickson said, "although I realize that's probably the wrong term to use when you're talking about 'Star Wars' Legos."
It was actually Target security that cracked the case, then turned the bar code bandit over to the cops. According to police, Langenbach was observed buying two Lego items at reduced prices on April 20 -- truly a Black Friday for him, if convicted. Then he hustled over to the Mountain View Target and bought two more Lego sets at a fire sale savings of $170.
That set off a quiet dragnet in Target stores, with flyers issued to security that included a picture of Langenbach, though his identity was still unknown.
Langenbach's luck ran out on May 8, when a "loss prevention" officer on duty at the Mountain View Target recognized the larcenous Lego mega-moocher and immediately placed him under surveillance. According to police, Langenbach not only placed his own bar codes on several items, he checked them on the store's aisle scanners to make sure he was getting the low, low price. He put stickers on three boxes but put two of them back on the shelves. When he walked out with one set he didn't pay full price for, store security nabbed him and called the cops.
At his home, investigators discovered "many, many sets of Legos that he had built, separated in bricks by color, by type, by size," said Liz Wylie, a spokeswoman for Mountain View police. "The motive was clearly money. Why does he want the money? I don't know. I can think of a million different possible scenarios. For some people it's boredom. For some it's a compulsive thing."
Innovative thinker
Lego is the brand name of an internationally popular line of colorful, interlocking, plastic bricks dating back to 1949. Coming in many sizes, they can be used to build scale models of vehicles, aircraft, buildings, and even working robotic figures. The bricks can be purchased in bunches or as parts of specialized sets. The toys have spawned clothing lines, theme parks, retail stores and thousands of worldwide building clubs populated by children and adults.
Langenbach has been with SAP -- Systems, Applications and Products -- since 1988. The German company has more than 55,000 employees worldwide. Following his booking, however, it wasn't clear whether Langenbach was one of them any longer. According to the outgoing message on his company voice mail, delivered in a distinct German accent, he is part of the Integration and Certification Center.
A recommendation from a colleague on his LinkedIn profile noted Langenbach's "strong technology savviness, business acumen, creative and innovative thinking." In this case, those virtues might prove to be his undoing.

Steve Twigger carries a memento in his wallet that was his band's inspiration for its newest album.

Twigger, one of the founding members of Gaelic Storm, hasn't parted with the sliver of a pearl from an oyster that pushed his band to record "The Boathouse."
The album of classic sea songs was recorded in one week in, you guessed it, a boathouse.
"We wanted to do something different," Twigger explained. "We wanted to record in a space that was user-friendly. We were looking out over the Chesapeake Bay at the boats while recording.
"We just wanted to have a sunnier location. We've done so many studio albums that we wanted to do something different. It worked out great."
On Saturday, Gaelic Storm, which is led by frontman Patrick Murphy and Twigger on guitar and vocals, will host its third annual Shamboozle Fest at Asheville's Highland Brewing Co. Music starts at 2 p.m.
Other members of the world-renowned Celtic group, which has released 11 records, are drummer Ryan Lacey, piper Pete Purvis and fiddle player Jessie Burns.
The new record, released in August without a label and available only on the group's website and at shows, topped Billboard's "world albums" chart on Aug. 29. It was the group's fourth record to hit No. 1.
Its success is a testament to the fan base and the band's grinding schedule. Gaelic Storm has toured for 16 years and plays almost 200 dates a year.
"It's our fan base," Twigger said. "We worked long and hard on the road, and they are there to support us when we come out with new stuff. It's very gratifying."
The songs for "The Boathouse" are mostly traditional songs, which made it easy for the band to record in a week.
They used email and other technology to work up the songs, since band members live around the country.
"We sent around GarageBand files between ourselves across the country, and everyone worked on them individually," Twigger said. "We had a lot worked out musically before we went in the studio."
Twigger said he's excited about Shamboozle Fest, which will also include acts Carbon Leaf, Seven Nations, Josh Phillips and The Red Wellies.
There will be food vendors, and Highland Brewery's tasting room will be open during the festival.
"Gaelic Storm and a brewery makes for a good combination," Twigger said.
Having other bands on tap gives Gaelic Storm some flexibility with the set list.
"There will be some cross-filtering," he said. "We'll get up with a couple of folks and have others play with us. It will be a spontaneous kind of evening.
"We're doing two or three (songs) from the new album. People want to hear the songs they are familiar with. They have favorites from past albums, so we like to vary the set list and make sure there's a nice variety from our albums."

MAKING PEPTIDE MAPSPeptide mapping is a workhorse technique in biopharmaceutical characterization.1 It is used to identify proteins based on the elution pattern of the peptide fragments, determine post-translational modifications, confirm genetic stability, and analyze protein sequence when interfaced with mass spectrometry.
To make a peptide map, it is necessary to separate every peptide into a single peak. Therefore, peptide mapping represents a significant chromatographic challenge, because of the complexity of peptide digests. In addition to the large number of peptides that are generated from the enzymatic digest of a protein, there can be a large number of alternative peptide structures, such as post-translational modifications.
There has been a long trend of reducing particle size in liquid chromatography. Modern reversed phase liquid chromatography (LC) began in the mid-1970s with the advent of irregular 10 μm particles, and within the last five years 2.5 μm particles have become available. The smaller particles have been used in short columns, which leads to fast analysis times but relatively modest gains in resolving power.
Column length has decreased with particle size because the system pressure required is inversely proportional to the cube of particle diameter. For example, reducing the particle size by a factor of two requires an increase in the operating pressure by a factor of eight. It is, therefore, necessary to use shorter columns at lower flow rates to remain within the capabilities of the instrument. Clearly, in order to take advantage of smaller particle sizes, both in terms of improved speed and improved resolution, we require instrumentation capable of high-pressure operation. In addition, system band broadening must be reduced to observe the narrow peaks generated with small particle packings.
In 2004, Schwartz and Murphy introduced the first LC system capable of operation up to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar).2 The combination of a system capable of high-pressure operation and columns packed with sub-2 μm particles has been termed ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) to differentiate it from high performance LC (HPLC).3

January 23, 2006
Some people in Blackville, South Carolina are upset that police are handing out $300 citations for loitering. Residents say they feel they are being harassed. News 12 spoke with the Blackville Chief of Police for answers.
Adrian Walker says when police gave him a $500 citation for loitering, or hanging around, he immediately tore it up because he says he was walking through a store's parking lot.
"We don't know any better in the city of Blackville. We don't know any better, we dumb as a box of rocks let them tell it," Walker said.
Adrian, one of several people arrested and cited for loitering, calls it harassment. Blackville Chief of Police Kenneth Bamberg calls it breaking the law and it comes with a steep price.
While $500 may seem excessive for just 'hanging out,' the Blackville Police Department says loitering is a crime.
"I feel the fine and punishment, the fine $500 or 30 days in jail, is appropriate," Bamberg said.
"I will give them two weeks in the county jail cause it ain't nothing I got kids that got to eat they need clothes," Walker said.
Chief Bamberg says his officers are doing exactly what is supposed to be done. Cruising the streets and arresting people who continuously stand in front of businesses with these signs, standing in front of this business is okay because they allow it.
"I feel if they are not bothering or harassing they could stand in front of the store," said Shaneka DeLoach, Blackville resident.
But Chief Bamberg says it's the price to pay in order to keep the community safe.
"You have people in the community that were actually afraid to go to the store," Bamberg said.
And since he became chief in 2004, Chief Bamberg says more arrests have been made and crime has gone down because of the police department's zero tolerance policy.
"Our goal is about prevention, it's about being proactive, it's about not sitting back and waiting on something to happen," Bamberg said.
Many residents plan to turn out at the Blackville City town hall meeting Monday night to try and address this issue. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at the town hall in Blackville.
We did some checking and in Richmond County there is a fine of $285 for loitering, which falls under disorderly conduct. North Augusta has a $257 fine for loitering and the city of Aiken has no loitering charge.

Shouting Match Erupts at Chris McDaniel Event
JACKSON, Miss. –A quiet morning campaign event erupted into a shouting match Thursday morning when a Democratic voter crashed a coffee klatch by State Sen. Chris McDaniel and got into an angry confrontation the conservative who is challenging six term Sen. Thad Cochran.
"How, with no seniority and a promise simply not to get along with anyone, will you accomplish any of the things you want to accomplish?" shouted John Davis, a 77-year-old retired teacher who was shopping at Kroger's grocery when he noticed Mr. McDaniel about to begin a meet and greet session with about a dozen local retirees.
"What have they accomplished lately by putting us in debt?" shot back Mr. McDaniel, who outpolled Mr. Cochran in the June 3 primary but is facing in a June 24 run off because he did not break 50%.
Mr. Davis, with finger-wagging emphasis, retorted, "What have they accomplished? They have accomplished airports. They have accomplished roads. They have accomplished schools.''
It looked like it would get really ugly when Mr. McDaniel snapped, "Get your finger out of my face."
Mr. McDaniel responded to his support for federal spending by saying, "you do so by adding trillions on my children's back, trillions of dollars we can't recover from. Our country borrows 46 cents on every dollar." Mr. Davis interrupted and said, "I don't want this rote answer. I want to know how you will accomplish it."

Mr. McDaniel backed away and sat down, and Mr. Davis was surrounded and eventually sent away by the octogenarians who had gathered to hear from the candidate.
Mr. Davis, who said after the event that he had voted in the Democratic primary June 3, said he had not planned the disruption, but just wandered over when he saw the group gathering around the candidate.
The group meets daily at Kroger's for morning coffee, and prepared for this special occasion by baking two cakes for Mr. McDaniel. After things settled down, Mr. McDaniel – who is supported by tea party sympathizers who are no foreigners to shouting matches in their political events – told the coffee club that he didn't mind the passion and disagreement but that the man should have sat down to discuss it more calmly.
"Dissent is a good thing in this country but you don't do it in that manner," said Mr. McDaniel. He found a way to turn the confrontation into a dig at Mr. Cochran, who has refused to meet his primary opponent in a debate and has been criticized by Mr. McDaniel for not talking more about issues.
Mr. McDaniel said of Mr. Davis, "He said more about his positions than Thad Cochran has said in his entire campaign."
One woman praised Mr. McDaniel for maintaining his composure but told him to be tougher if he gets elected to the Senate. "When you get to Washington, don't be that nice,'' said Geri, who asked that her last name not be used.

LIVINGSTON | Salvaging a 6-5 mark through a span that saw the Tigers play nine of 11 games on the road the last two weeks, the University of West Alabama softball team remained in the National Fast Pitch Coaches Association poll, dropping three spots to No. 21.
The Tigers, 20-10, are one of three Gulf South Conference teams ranked in the NFCA poll. Defending NCAA Division II national champion Valdosta State is ranked third, and North Alabama holds the No. 23 spot.
Coming off a doubleheader sweep of Miles College on Tuesday, in which the Tigers scored 40 runs and belted six home runs, West Alabama travels to Alabama-Huntsville for a doubleheader Saturday then to Tuskegee for two more games Monday.
UWA plays 14 of its final 18 games at home, including a six-game homestand that begins April 3 with a doubleheader against Stillman.

SAN MATEO -- A cache of old, volatile chemicals was blown up in a "very loud" but harmless explosion at a Parrott Drive home shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
A resident discovered the chemicals, which had been stored some time ago, and realized the hazard they presented and contacted the fire department around 4:30 p.m., according to San Mateo police Sgt. David Norris.
Fire officials "determined that the materials were highly volatile and not stable to move without precautions in place against potential explosion," according to a news release.
Norris did not have specific information about the type of chemicals involved, but said "they were clearly the type that may become more volatile when left unmaintained for an extended period of time."
The 400 block of Parrott Drive was evacuated, as well as a few residences on adjacent streets, Norris said. All households in a five-block radius were alerted to the situation via a reverse-911 auto-dialer and advised to shelter in place while the San Mateo Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was summoned.
All the hazardous materials were eliminated in the explosion, and no one was injured, police said.
The police department offered safety tips for residents when dealing with unknown material, such as a suspicious object, odor, spilled or leaking liquid or powder.
"It's best to treat it as a hazardous substance until proven otherwise," police stated. "Do not disturb it, touch it or sniff it. Do not smoke or strike a light near it, and extinguish any open flames nearby. Turn off electrical equipment near it (especially fans). Secure or block off the area around it. Keep others away until public safety authorities arrive."
Authorities should be immediately notified by calling 911 or San Mateo police dispatch at 650-522-7700.

Thanks Pamela. That works and I got 22 hits.
R0 is a rather technical term for clear margins. Most of our members don't use it.
Try searching the following to get more hits:
"clear margins"
"clear margin"
"clean margins"
"clean margin"
"negative margins"
"negative margin"
You can search this site directly from Google by adding this qualifier to your search terms:
Eli, thank you, thank you. I have been wondering what R0 meant but didn't want to appear stupid by asking! Now I know.....many thanks. That was so easy.
Lainy, you are very welcome.
By the way:
R1 = microscopically positive margins
R2 = macroscopically positive margins, or gross positive margins
In both cases, cancer cells are present at the margins.
In R1 case, the cells are not visible to a naked eye. They are discovered during pathology exam after the surgery.
In R2 case, the surgeon can usually see the bad parts but cannot do anything to improve the margins.
N0 = clear lymph nodes
N1 = positive lymph nodes
Wow, got my Medical 101 lesson today. Next I can become an ONC! On the other hand no thanks, I like the role of Grandma better! Pay is meager but the rewards are so over the top.
Thanks Eli for the alternate search terms. Clean margins was the winner with 134 hits followed by clear margins with 106 hits.
