PLEASANTON -- School officials are considering whether to change the Pleasanton's school year calendar in hopes of improving learning conditions for students and teachers.
Proposed changes are still in the preliminary phase but the district's calendar committee is planning to meet within the next two weeks to explore the idea further, said Mark McCoy, Pleasanton Unified's director of human resources.
"We're going to start internal conversations immediately," he said Friday. "The only goal is to provide a better school calendar for kids."
The current calendar for Pleasanton Unified -- which has 14,800 students attending 14 K-12 campuses, two continuation schools and an adult school -- starts in late August and ends mid-June.
Two alternative options are being explored, McCoy told trustees at Tuesday's school board meeting. One is an "early start calendar," which would move up the current school year's start and end dates.
The second is a "modified calendar," like that used in Brentwood and several other districts in eastern Contra Costa County. That option calls for starting classes in late July and ending in late May or early June. It includes two-week breaks in October and the spring, in addition to the regular winter break in late December and early January.
McCoy said a modified calendar has several benefits. It would have a shorter summer break, lasting seven weeks instead of 10. That has academic advantages, he said, because returning students would spend less time reviewing the previous year's lessons.
That plan would have the fall semester end before the winter holidays not in January, as it does now.
"That reduces stress in students because that time becomes a true break, rather than having students study over the holidays," McCoy said.
Those additional breaks also would allow schools to focus that time on at-risk students. Lastly, starting a month earlier gives schools more time to prepare for the high school exit exam, AP tests and other important testing dates, district officials said.
McCoy said the district isn't leaning in any particular direction at this time.
"We'll look at all the research before deciding," he said. "We want to make data-driven decisions."
Public input will be sought in the coming months. Even if a decision is made to change the calendar, it is too early to know when those changes might begin, McCoy said.
"You have to give people ample time to make adjustments to summer plans or to coordinate day care," he said. "We would not consider changes without being able to communicate it months in advance."

The Breckenridge Free Ride announced the launch of a new website this week, the latest in a series of technological upgrades geared to keeping riders in the loop on the transit system's operations.
The website, BreckFreeRide.com, includes an interactive schedule, launched in November, that allows riders to determine which routes they need to use to get to their destinations, as well as route and system maps.
Breckenridge transit manager Maribeth Lewis-Baker, who designed the site, said it was created to provide the most frequently requested information up front.
"We've tried to make our website fairly intuitive and easy to use," she stated in an email to the Summit Daily. "Having the BreckFreeRide.com domain name separate from the town (website) is something we had heard from our customers on our biannual surveys as something that was needed."
Transit officials will be able to post lost-and-found notices and service and schedule information to the site and use it to interact with the public.
System operators will also begin putting up real-time service alerts on a Free Ride-specific Twitter feed.
The website is just one of a series of technological changes ushered in over the last several months.
Last year, the system introduced a new digital ridership tracking system with tablets installed on all the buses. The $35,000 system was expected to save Free Ride approximately $50,000 a year and cut back on staff time, but with the idea going national in the transit industry, it now also has the potential to produce royalty revenue for the local system.
Transit systems are required to track ridership numbers for a national transit database. The numbers affect the systems' ability to land grant funding for future projects.
The interactive schedule followed in November, and is now used by as many as 300 people daily, according to a statement from the town.
Up next is a "Where's my Bus" feature that will allow riders to track their bus while they're waiting with a system that updates itself every 30 to 60 seconds using GPS data.
Officials said they expect the feature to go live in the next few weeks.
"As one can expect with some complicated technology, it takes a lot of preparation to get systems up and running," Lewis-Baker said in a release from the town. "We are getting closer and appreciate the public's patience. The wait will most certainly be worth the final product."
The tracking feature will be available as a mobile app for iPhone and Android and will also operate from the website.

STOCKTON - Police believe that the man in custody on suspicion of the shooting death of Eric Madison, 21, on Dec. 2 at Oak and American Streets might be involved in as many as three homicides and three shooting incidents during the past two years.
Tyrone Sotolongo, 19, was arrested Friday and is being held at the San Joaquin County Jail in lieu of $4.75 million bail in connection with the Madison case. His brother, Jerone Sotolongo, 19, was also arrested on weapons charges unrelated to the homicide. His bail has been set at $1.35 million.
Based on their active investigation, Stockton police said they believe either Tyrone or Jerone Sotolongo, or both, are linked to two homicides in 2012 and one in 2011 as well as three separate shootings in 2012.
"This investigation is an example of a strong enforcement action under Operation Ceasefire and shows the Stockton Police Department is putting primary focus on targeting the most violent criminals in our community," department spokesman Officer Joe Silva said in a statement.
Police are encouraging citizens to contact the department if they have information by calling (209) 937-8377, the Investigations Unit at (209) 937-8323 or Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600. Callers can remain anonymous.

Roses - A Prominent Player
The rose has been around for many years. And it's no surprise that it's the most sought after flower when Valentine's Day draws near. Plants, like the rose, come from the Rosaceae family. These timeless beauties originated more than 4,000 years ago. The land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Middle East was where these flowers first were grown. Today, roses are available all the year round in a variety of shades, colors and sizes.
The rose is a popular flower throughout the world, which makes for many varying meanings as well. However, the color of the rose is where the meanings derive.
Red roses stand for romance, true love, passion and desire. The red rose is a rose that says 'I love you, truly, madly, deeply'.
A white rose signifies innocence, purity, charm, secrecy and the like. It is for those that wish to say, 'You are worthy', 'You are heavenly', 'Please keep a secret'.
Because of their versatility, they're considered elegant and romantic, more so than any other flower in the spectrum.

Local artists Lynda Legg, Marge Hamilton and Jolene Ratzlaff held a pit firing Hamilton's home.
In addition to the work of these three artists, potter Paul Friesen, Hesston College students and several Hesston High School students had pieces to contribute for the firing.
On Friday afternoon, Hamilton, Legg and Ratzlaff carefully loaded a fire pit with over 50 pieces of pottery to fire.
The pit firing process is one of pottery's oldest techniques. The heat of the fire, combine with the chemicals released by various burning substances, colorizes the pots.
The artists all agreed, when the pit begins to burn, the outcome is a gamble.
"You never know until you take the pots out if it was a success," said Hamilton.
Artists mix various chemicals and organic materials to impart color to a piece.
"You have to have enough chemicals to get good color on a pot," said Legg.
"Color can come from burning cow pies and organic material, dried fruit, peanut shells, corn husks, avocado seeds, lots of things," said Hamilton.
"You can get some orange from the rinds of cantelopes," said Ratzlaff.
While there is still some debate as to which substances produce the best colors, the variety of organic and synthetic material can produce a surprising array of hues.
"Depending on the material, you can get a different color," said Legg.
Along with the challenges of working with unmeasured chemicals and imprecise heating, weather becomes a factor for pit firings.

PARKERSBURG - Wood County Board of Education members want to take a hard look at a supplemental retirement fund the district has been contributing to since 1938.
Board members were told Tuesday officials can find no policy governing the fund, which is under the supervision of a retirement board. The school board president sits on the retirement board.
"The organization is not part of the Wood County Schools system," said school board President Tim Yeater. "This doesn't have anything to do with us. We just contribute."
Finance Director Connie Roberts said last year Wood County Schools contributed $152,000 to the fund while employee contributions were only $112,000. Those employee contributions, about $100 per teacher annually, have been declining in recent years.
Roberts warned the lack of a written policy did not absolve the board of its responsibility.
"It is quite possible the board adopted a policy in 1938 and we've been participating since that time under that understanding," she said. Since the district's contribution has been standard practice for nearly 75 years, "just because you don't find it in writing doesn't negate the board's responsibility."
Board member Tad Wilson, who served on the retirement board for two years while he was school board president, said he feels the board must take action soon. The fund itself pays out very little to retirees, and the retirement board relies heavily on institutional memory rather than written policies and procedures, Wilson said.
"I would highly encourage an updated actuarial study be done," he said.
Wilson, who works as a financial adviser, said he also was concerned the supplemental retirement fund may not be following federal Internal Revenue Service guidelines, which may have changed dramatically since the fund was first created.
Superintendent Pat Law said he would begin work immediately on drafting a policy concerning the supplemental retirement fund, and Roberts recommended the board hire someone with expertise in retirement funds to conduct an actuarial study.

In just over three weeks, "it" will happen: The day we've been hearing about, talking about, and in some cases, worrying about - Dec. 21, 2012.
In case you've been living in a cave, that's the day that many people claim the ancient Mayan calendar ends. Some believe that a cataclysmic event will occur on that date, perhaps even the end of the world as we know it.
So is there any truth to the Dec. 21 Doomsday prophecies? Will the world end, or at least undergo extreme changes on that day? Mayan historians and NASA scientists have been working overtime to debunk these predictions. Those who claim faith in Christ and look to the Bible for guidance should have no problem dismissing the 12/21/12 predictions, either. Jesus said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven." (Matthew 24:36) The Mayans didn't know when the world will end, and apart from God, no one else does, either. Prophecies and predictions like the 12/21/12 phenomenon are nothing more than hype and hoax.
But this current end-time buzz does bring up an important point: We do indeed need to be ready. We need to be ready at all times for the end to come, because it could come at any time. In the same chapter of the Bible in which Jesus states that no one but God knows when the end will come, he also gives a lengthy list of signs that will occur prior to the Last Day. These signs - which include things like natural disasters, wars, persecution and the spread of the gospel - have been occurring over and over again for centuries. The point being, Jesus could come again at any time. But even if the last day doesn't occur for another 10,000 years, the fact remains that all of us will experience our own personal last day long before then, for we will all face our creator on the day he calls us from this world in death.
So the warning we're hearing about needing to be prepared for the end is a valid one. That raises the million dollar question: What exactly are we supposed to do to be ready? Stockpiling food and water won't make you ready. Neither will purchasing generators and ammunition. The fact is, there is only one thing that will make you ready to face your maker: faith in him as your savior. Faith in Christ, and only faith in Christ, makes us ready to leave this world and enter a new, perfect, endless world. In a sense, then, we don't have to do anything to be ready; all we need to do is trust that our savior has already prepared everything we need.
Dec. 21 will undoubtedly come and go. Websites will be taken down quickly. Some people will be embarrassed, others relieved. But don't count on Doomsday predictions to stop on Dec. 22. Exactly 13 years ago, I wrote a very similar column regarding another predicted cataclysmic event, the one that was supposed to occur when the calendars changed from 1999 to 2000. Remember the Y2K hype? Predictions of the end will come and go. But the need to be prepared for the end remains. Be faithful. Be ready. And be confident in the day.

Michael Sam, who is hopeful of being the first openly gay player in the NFL, says he has another goal that he hopes to accomplish.
"I just wish people would see me as Michael Sam the football player, not Michael Sam the gay man," Sam told reporters at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis on Saturday.
Sam went public about being gay earlier this month. He's now focusing on testing well at the scouting combine in front of representatives from every team, including the 49ers and Raiders.
Sam was voted the SEC co-Defensive Player of the Year as a pass-rush linebacker at Missouri. It just so happens that the Raiders are in dire need of pass rushers.
"This league is about affecting the quarterback," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said in a Sirius radio interview in Indianapolis. "That's something that we've got to do and have to do better. Pass rush and pass coverage are going to work together there. We've got to do some things to get some people that can get after the quarterback."
Sam notched 11½ sacks his final season at Missouri, including three in a game three times. Still, there are questions about whether he is well suited for a particular position in the NFL.
"I'm a pass rusher," Sam said Saturday. "My specialty is rushing the passer. If you put me in a situation to get the quarterback, I'm going to get the quarterback."
Bridgewater told reporters in Indianapolis that he feels as if Raiders owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie liked him based on their meeting.
The Raiders finished the season with two inexperienced quarterbacks on their roster -- third-year player Terrelle Pryor and undrafted rookie Matt McGloin. They since have signed veteran Trent Edwards.
Oakland likely will meet with several more, if not all, of the top quarterback prospects before the combine ends next week. That list includes Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Fresno State's Derek Carr, Central Florida's Blake Bortles and Eastern Illinois' Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Raiders own the rights to the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft in May. They are assured of having a shot at one of the aforementioned quarterbacks.
Allen said he isn't sure if his starting quarterback is on the Raiders roster right now.
"I don't know the answer to that yet," Allen said. " ... The quarterback position is the backbone of your football team, so we have to make sure that when we go out there this year that we've put ourselves in the best position to have success with the quarterback position."
"You watched the Super Bowl. Defense wins championships," Clowney said in response to why he should be selected by the Houston Texans at No. 1.
Clowney, 6-foot-5 and 266 pounds, met with the media in advance of his on-field workouts at the combine. The Raiders no doubt were among the teams paying close attention to everything Clowney said.
"You can tell a guy's work ethic by the way he plays the game," Allen said on Sirius radio. "It's visiting with former high school coaches, former trainers, former equipment people, just trying to dig as much as you can into the background of that particular player to find out little bit more about them. Obviously, we're going to spend some time with these guys in the interview process."
Clowney arrived in Indianapolis surrounded by questions about his work ethic and desire to play hard every down. No one doubts his ability.
He countered by saying: "I want to be one of the best. I want to be one of the greatest of all time."
Earlier this week, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier fueled the speculation about Clowney's work ethic by saying he wasn't the hardest worker.
To that, Clowney said: "Once I get to the NFL, my career is going to go up."
"I think I'm pretty much a good route runner, but there are a lot of areas I can improve in with getting out of my routes," Watkins said. "I think the routes I need to focus on are my curl and comebacks."
At 6-1, 211 pounds, Watkins isn't the ideal size for a No. 1 receiver, but his ability to catch the ball at its highest point and his speed make him stand out. Some mock drafts have the Raiders taking him at No. 5.
Staff writer Steve Corkran, The Associated Press and the Charlotte Observer contributed to this report.

A nonviolent burglar who has served 10 years of a life sentence -- and now needs chemotherapy and a bone-marrow transplant -- is seeking his freedom in a case that tests who should be released early from prison under California's three-strikes reform measure.
Approved overwhelmingly by voters last year, Proposition 36 includes a provision that allows about 3,000 inmates who were sentenced to life in prison for nonviolent crimes under the three-strikes law to petition a judge for early release or shorter sentences.
Santa Clara County prosecutors contend that three-striker James "Dale'' Grady should remain locked up, even though he has never been convicted of a violent crime. They say the 59-year-old man with stooped shoulders and metal spectacles is a serial burglar who avoided a possible 200-year sentence in 2003 by pleading guilty to only one of eight break-ins. He is being treated in prison for pre-leukemia.
"Mr. Grady wants to use Prop. 36 as a free pass for seven homes he burglarized within two months of getting released on parole in 2003,'' prosecutor James Leonard said. "Prop. 36 was intended to balance the punishment imposed in California, not to help criminals escape prosecution for their crimes altogether. Voters never intended to give that kind of break to a guy who already had 10 prior convictions for residential burglary.''
But defense attorneys contend that the initiative does not bar three-strikers like Grady who took plea bargains from consideration for early release. Superior Court Judge Thang Nguyen Barrett must decide only if Brady poses an unreasonable danger to public safety, they argue.
"The key question is, 'Who is Mr. Grady today, and is he dangerous?' '' attorney Jessica Delgado said. "And the answer is, 'No, he's not dangerous. He's a sick old man with a pristine prison record.' ''
Leonard says the central question is whether Grady is even eligible for resentencing because of the plea bargain. The prosecutor said Barrett should hold Grady to the plea deal and the life sentence he accepted in exchange for dismissal of the other serious counts against him.
If the judge disagrees, Leonard said, then the District Attorney's Office wants to take the whole case back and re-try Grady on the original charges. Otherwise, the prosecutor contends, "the people" will be denied the benefit of the plea bargain.
But Delgado noted that defendants who accepted plea bargains in the 1980s before the three-strikes law was passed by voters in 1994 often suffered later when those prior convictions were counted as strikes -- and nothing was done about it despite efforts by defendants to get those deals rescinded.
Barrett is set to take up Grady's case and another that also involves a plea-bargained life sentence on July 19.
In a show of support for Grady, 10 of his sisters, brothers, nephews and nieces showed up in court Friday. To the churchgoing, East Palo Alto clan, the legal arguments are irrelevant.
"We're going to be right there for him,'' said one of his sisters, Luwanda Grady, "to make sure he stays in line.''

The devastation caused in Oklahoma by the recent tornado outbreak is heartbreaking. We've had lots of questions about how you can give back.Because of that we, along with Bryan Broadcasting and The Eagle have re-opened the "Brazos Valley Media Giving Back" fund. 100% of the money donated will be given organizations working to help the recovery of Moore, OK and the surrounding areas.
An account has been set up by Brazos Valley Media Giving Back so that donations can be made at any of the The Bank and Trust locations or online using a credit card.
Please make the check out to "BV Media Giving Back", and note in the memo line that it's for the "Oklahoma Tornado".
We're continually amazed by the generosity of this community and it's our honor to be a part of it.
The three media organizations -- television, newspaper and radio -- first teamed up in 2011 to gather donations for those impacted by the wildfires. A recent campaign to raise money for the victims of the West, TX explosion brought in over $45,000.

Tracking swine flu: Resources and tools
There is no bigger story right now than swine flu. With that in mind, I've compiled some online resources that you can use to stay informed.
I'll try to update this as I find other tools. If I missed something, send me an email, and I'll add it to the list.
1. The World Health Organization has a helpful Web site. The highlights include FAQs on such topics as contracting swine flu, tips for treating it and food safety measures. You can check the flu's stage in the pandemic alert chart, download audio and print press briefings, and sign up for RSS feeds.
2. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has its own FAQs, counts U.S. cases and posts travel advisories. You can download podcasts and guides for treating sick children, pregnant women and airline passengers. And if you love Twitter, you can follow the CDC's tweets.
3. In Texas, the Department of State Health Services dedicates a page, which includes the latest press releases. Dallas County, Tarrant County and Collin County are tracking the number of local cases.
4. The Association of Health Care Journalists has links to video of government hearings and downloadable transcripts of officials' testimony. Other links are available only to members.
5. Last but not least, DallasNews.com has a survival guide with additional tools, Web links, Twitter pages and archives of news stories.

I just ran my first half marathon this past Saturday and felt no pain whatsoever until just as I finished the race--the temp was in the low 50s by then when the cold air hit my legs, I could feel them tense up instantly. I tried stretching after that and hydrating and then walked about a 1/2 mile to my car to go home...still sore Saturday night...all Sunday...and today...feels slightly better today, but the soreness is really prevalent in my quads, shins, and hips.
Anything else I can do besides rest, hydrate, and take the occasional ibuprofen? I haven't tried icing the areas at all...should I be doing that?
Thank you!
"A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools."
Spanish proverb
TRY BIOFREEZE!! it's great on your sore muscles.
Compression pants!
Several brands out there. Everything your doing is great. Get plenty of protein as well. Drink milk/oj and rest.
Congrats on finishing your 1/2 marathon.
Go for a walk, not hard or fast, just walk, a mile would be good.
Mix two tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt and one tablespoon of sea salt and put it in a hot bath (if you do not have high blood pressure or diabetes). Stay in the water till it cools (at least 30 minutes). It will detoxify, pulling some of the lactic acid out of your skin.
Thank you all for the great advice! I appreciate it! Doing a 10k in about 3 weeks...then I'm planning on training for another half in the spring!
"A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools."
Spanish proverb
You're welcome! ...and give some thought to wearing a base layer (at least on your lower half) on that 10K if the temps are going to be cool. I use mine if the temp is cooler than 55 or-so. I think the base layer makes me run faster because I get cold somewhat easily and my legs being just a bit warmer than without them, are moving easier. I use Terramar Outlast (poly/Merino wool). You might not be sore afterward if you run in a base layer.

OAKLAND -- Gregory Kloehn can turn just about anything into a home.
The Oakland artist spends his summers in Brooklyn living in a dumpster he outfitted with granite countertops, hardwood floors, a rooftop deck, plumbing and a barbecue grill.
But his proudest creations are even cozier structures that he gives to homeless people in his neighborhood.
Kloehn's "little homeless homes" are about the size of a sofa, but they come with a pitched roof to keep out the rain and wheels so recipients can roll them around town.
So far Kloehn has built 10 of the tiny houses using mostly illegally dumped trash that piles up on the streets in a semi-industrial section of West Oakland. The foundation is usually discarded wood pallets to which Kloehn will add accouterments such as windows, a mirror and a cup holder. Several homes are insulated with discarded pizza delivery bags.
Wonder, a homeless woman Kloehn has known for several years, parked her new house on the sidewalk next to her old home, which consisted primarily of a tarp draped over a couch.
"This is the best home I've had in five years," Wonder said as she opened the front door -- made from a discarded picnic table -- to reveal the pizza bag insulation. "It gets real hot in here," she said.
All the homes have gotten rave reviews. "They say this is just night and day, especially when it rains," Kloehn said. "Once your mattress gets wet, it's just terrible."
Kloehn, a 43-year-old transplant from Denver, is a sculptor who "got on a housing kick" after building his five-unit live-work condominium complex from scratch.
Inspired by the small home environmental movement, Kloehn started making fully functioning houses out of shipping containers. He soon moved on to dumpsters. "Then I just started grabbing garbage and making homes out of that," he said.
Kloehn's fascination with nontraditional homes helps support his wife and two children. While he gives away the homeless houses, he sells homes, bars and restaurants that he makes from shipping containers, many of which reside in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.
"Before I was all about sculpture, but I realized it just sits there. And you're just peddling it to rich people," he said. "I kind of think if you're putting so much effort into something it would be nice if it did something."
As Kloehn delved deeper into the essence of a home, he began studying the homeless shanties in his neighborhood. He self-published a book titled "Homeless Architecture" and sometimes grabbed his drill to help local homeless people secure their shelters against the elements.
"I admire them for how they build," he said. "When you think about it, they are really living green. They're going around recycling all day and then they scrape stuff from the street to make a home on a piece of property that no one really cares about."
But Kloehn never made the connection that his tiny houses could help the homeless until a homeless couple came by his house last year and asked him for a tarp. Kloehn could only offer them what he had in his studio -- a tiny wooden structure equipped with a built-in kitchen, water tank and a small trap for human waste.
"I had this home sitting right here," Kloehn said. "I thought, 'Why am I keeping it?'"
Over the past year, Kloehn has further simplified his design so he can make a home out of five pallets. Each home takes two to three days to make.
Most of the homes can be found on the streets of West Oakland although a few have not fared well. The home Kloehn gave to the couple seeking the tarp was firebombed. No one was injured, he said. Another home was stolen. And one recipient sold his home for $80. It's now being used as a doghouse, Kloehn said.
Oakland spokeswoman Karen Boyd said that to her knowledge the tiny homes had not registered on the city's radar. Oakland supports many types of homes for people suffering from the housing shortage, she said. But city officials would need to discuss whether the homes present encroachment or other policy issues.
Kloehn has no plans to build houses for all of Oakland's homeless. But he doesn't intend to stop anytime soon. He's working on new designs, including a geodesic dome and a chuck wagon.
He'd also like to start doing weekend workshops to teach others how to make them. "A lot of people who hear about what I'm doing want to get involved," he said. "Maybe we meet someplace and put a couple homes together."

Omega 3 is an es sential fatty acid known for boosting brain function and prevent neurodegenerative diseases, boosting immunity, anti inflammatory, heart beneficial, protect from cardiovascular diseases, boost libido (surprise!), thinning the blood thus lowering blood pres sure, boosts our mood, reduce cancer risk, eases joint pain, slow aging, support healthy glucose, improve vision, pro motes healthy skin, hair, nails, reduce free radical damage and more! That's why it is considered the 'multivitamin' in omega product. There are so many benefits that even the MDs and hospital wants to cash in on fish oil (at ridiculous prices). People these days take too much omega 6 from vegetable oil as compared to omega 3. Omega 6 is pro-inflammatory and this often results in uncontrolled inflammation in the body which is highly damaging. The softgel is normal fish oil size and easy to swallow. There is no fishy smell when you burp. The fish oxidised easily in warm/hot and humid area so be sure to store it in the refrigerator. An important point to note is that this product is a 60% purification fish oil. There are currently only 80% (a few), 60% (some) and 30% (most of it) purification fish oil in the market. Each standard fish oil softgel consists of 1g of 'oil' and the varying amount of omega 3 fatty acids. This product consists of 600 mg omega 3 fatty acids in a 1g fish oil softgel thus it is considered a 60% purification fish oil. So the 40% non remaining consists of other fats as well as pos sibly other toxic. Considering that almost all chemicals have dumped into the river and sea and they end up in the food chain, the remaining non omega 3 fatty will consist of other fatty acid + whatever that cannot be removed from the purification and test (not pos sible to test and remove all). The difference is that the higher the purification , the more expensive it is per mg of omega (e.g 2 x 30% omega 3 fish oil is always cheaper than 1 x 60% omega 3 fish oil). But it also means that you swallow les s softgels and toxics as well. To avoid this problem, you also take food high in omega 3 like hemp etc but les s convenient than fish oil softgels. Pricewise, this is definitely the best value for mg for a 60% omega 3 product. Check out my page for more reviews!
This double strength fish oil has as a higher proportion of DHA to EPA. It does give you more fish burps compared to a citrus flavored fish oil. However, flavored fish oils cost more. This is a good product at a good price.

UPDATE: Fire races through Venice auto dealership
Published: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 3:56 p.m.
VENICE - A midnight blaze destroyed much of the interior of a Venice auto sales business Monday.
At 12:40 a.m., Venice firefighters found A-Star Auto and Truck Sales, 309 S. Warfield Ave., to be engulfed in flames.
The blaze came through the roof and threatened nearby businesses in the Seaboard industrial district.
Five crews from the Venice Fire Department and four from the Sarasota County Fire Department responded. Firefighters took nearly 30 minutes to extinguish the fire. Venice firefighters remained on the scene for more than three hours.
The State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
No one was injured.
Michael Harrington is listed as the owner of the business.

Store, sync and share your files online.
Dropbox is an application that creates a special Finder folder that automatically syncs online and between your computers. It allows you to both backup files and keep them up-to-date between systems.

Nice app. Sync's ridiculously large folders (10gb, 100,000 files), ridiculously fast. Stuff that would take days to sync with sugarsync, is uploading by dropbox in half hour.
Only major complaint, it doesnt support Mac OSX resource forking. This severely limits what I can sync. On OSX, even file bookmarks (drag a url) use resource forking, so syncing them in Dropbox breaks.
This really needs to get fixed soon. But once it does, I'd be inclined to recommend Dropbox to OSX users.
Nice app to use with a Truecrypt container.
Excellent service! Instant sync, no problems and works like awesome! Free and (from my opinion) faster and cheaper than mobileme! Wow, this is excellent software.
Excellent service! Instant sync, no problems and works like awesome! Free and (from my opinion) faster and cheaper than mobileme! Wow, this is excellent software.
I use it all the time - work or home - it just works - wish it could do my laundry.
Dropbox is great! The iPhone app makes this a complete replacement to MobileMe's iDisk. I like when developers create polished, free alternatives to premium paid services :-)
Should have added this is way better than MobileMe as it's cross platform and it also seems way, way quicker too. Mobile Me (iDisk) is very slow to upload IMHO
This app is superb - I use Windows, OSX (two systems) and Linux. Dropbox means I am never out of luck when I need a file on a different system.

Now at NFL Camps: No Tackling
Posted August 1st, 2013 @ 9:13am by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – If you want to see some truly star-studded touch football games, maybe you should try watching NFL training camp. All 32 teams kick off their camps this week, and a lot of them are limiting or outright banning tackling, the New York Times reports. Just this week the Eagles joined the no-tackling club, after a pair of season-ending injuries. "They'll get plenty of hitting in the games," coach Chip Kelly said. "But we've got to get our guys to the games."

As the #1 selling nuisance animal control brand on the market, our fast-acting, patented formula stops deer, rabbits and squirrels from eating your plants, bulbs, flowers, trees, seedlings, fruits and vegetables for up to three months with just one application. This long-lasing formula means you'll have more time to enjoy your yard. And you can rest assured that Deer Off® will not leave a visible film or residue or change the color of plants or foliage.
The 128 oz concentrate yields 8 gallons of ready-to-use repellent, enough to treat 1,600 4-foot-tall ornamental shrubs, or approximately 16,000 square feet of plantings.
Relied on for decades by homeowners and professionals, chemical-free Deer Off® provides powerful, long-lasting protection. No other repellent works faster, longer and delivers better results – we guarantee it! Get the DeerOff® Advantage today and eliminate deer, rabbit and squirrel damage.
Deer Off® II features a patented, Dual-Deterrent System™ that effectively repels animals by targeting their keen sense of BOTH smell and taste. With the highest concentration of the scent deterrent (putrescent egg) on the market, DeerOff® delivers more repelling power than any other brand. Putrescent egg is a proven key ingredient to repelling nuisance animals as it mimics the smell of a dead animal.

What Is Gastroparesis?
In this article
How Is Gastroparesis Diagnosed?
To diagnose gastroparesis, your doctor will review your symptoms and medical history. He or she will also give you a physical exam and may order certain blood tests, including blood sugar levels. Other tests used to diagnose and evaluate gastroparesis may include:
- Barium X-ray : You drink a liquid (barium), which coats the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine and shows up on X-ray. This test is also known as an upper GI (gastrointestinal) series or a barium swallow.
- Radioisotope gastric-emptying scan (gastric scintigraphy): You eat food that contains a very small amount of radioisotope (a radioactive substance), then lie under a scanning machine; if the scan shows that more than 10% of food is still in your stomach 4 hours after eating, you are diagnosed with gastroparesis.
- Gastric manometry: A thin tube that is passed through your mouth and into the stomach measures the stomach's electrical and muscular activity to determine the rate of digestion.
- Electrogastrography: This test measures electrical activity in the stomach using electrodes placed on the skin.
- The smart pill: This is a small electronic device that is swallowed. It sends back information about how fast it is traveling as it moves through the digestive system.
- Ultrasound : This is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of body organs. Your doctor may use ultrasound to eliminate other diseases.
- Upper endoscopy : This procedure involves passing a thin tube (endoscope) down the esophagus to examine the lining of the stomach.
What Is the Treatment for Gastroparesis?
Gastroparesis is a chronic (long-lasting) condition. This means that treatment usually doesn't cure the disease. But there are steps you can take to manage and control the condition.
Some patients may benefit from medications, including:
- Reglan (metoclopramide): You take this drug before eating and it causes the stomach muscles to contract and move food along. Reglan also decreases the incidence of vomiting and nausea. Side effects include diarrhea, drowsiness, anxiety, and, rarely, a serious neurological disorder.
- Erythromycin: This is an antibiotic that also causes stomach contractions and helps move food out. Side effects include diarrhea and development of resistant bacteria from prolonged exposure to the antibiotic.
- Antiemetics: These are drugs that help control nausea.
People who have diabetes should try to control their blood sugar levels to minimize the problems of gastroparesis.

A 33-year-old woman from Waynesville died early this morning after being ejected from a vehicle that overturned on Interstate 44 in St. Robert, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Three other people were all hospitalized for minor injuries after the accident that occurred near exit 163 in the eastbound lanes around 2:05 a.m.
The woman was identified as Melissa T. Ferreire, who was pronounced dead at the scene by Pulaski County Coroner Mikel Hartness. She was taken to Waynesville Memorial Chapel.
According to the report, 10-year old Nathan Neal, of Waynesville, was an occupant in the 2006 Acura TL driven by Ferreire.
According to the MSHP report, the accident occurred when the Acura was changing lanes and sideswiped a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado pickup, driven by 19-year-old Sean Widner of Newburg. 28-year-old Sara Stewart, also of Newburg, was an occupant in the truck.
The report states that the Acura traveled off the roadway after impact and overturned. Ferreire was then ejected from the vehicle.
Ferreire was not wearing a seat belt. Widner, Stewart, and Neal were wearing seat belts.
The Missouri Department of Transportation shut down all lanes of I-44 for several hours early this morning as crews worked to clear the the scene. All lanes reopened around 9 a.m. The Acura was totaled and the pickup had extensive damage.
Ferreire's next of kin have been notified.

How-To Build FFmpeg on Debian Squeeze
It's been a long time now since I wrote my original How-To for building FFmpeg on Debian. A lot has changed since then, in both the Debian and FFmpeg world, so it's definitely time for an update.
This tutorial describes how to build x264 and FFmpeg from scratch, on a base Debian Squeeze system. Throughout this tutorial I will be assuming that you are operating as either root or su, or aware of how to use sudo (make sure you've added yourself to the /etc/sudoers list).
First, we need to update the sources list. I use pico as my text editor, as I was a long time Pine mail user way back when. Feel free to use vi or emacs if you prefer.
Go to the Debian Multimedia repository site and download the keyring package. Follow the instructions for unpackaging it about half-way down the front page. Now update your sources list:
>pico /etc/apt/sources.list
Add deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main on a new line and save the file.
>aptitude update
>aptitude full-upgrade
Now you're using the latest sources and packages.
Next, install all the additional libraries we'll need:
>aptitude install install build-essential subversion git-core yasm libgpac-dev libdirac-dev libgsm1-dev libschroedinger-dev libspeex-dev libvorbis-dev libopenjpeg-dev libdc1394-dev libsdl1.2-dev zlib1g-dev texi2html libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libmp3lame-dev libtheora-dev libxvidcore4-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev
Once that has successfully completed, it's time to grab the latest x264 code:
>git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
>cd x264
>./configure –enable-shared
>make install
Hopefully all is still going well and you encountered no errors so far. Great, let's grab FFmpeg from Subversion:
>svn checkout svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
>cd ffmpeg
Now to configure FFmpeg. There's so many options, it's sometimes hard to know which ones to choose. The list below is my personal preference, but do try ./configure –help to assist in choosing your own.
>./configure –enable-gpl –enable-postproc –enable-pthreads –enable-libfaac –enable-libfaad –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libtheora –enable-libx264 –enable-shared –enable-nonfree –enable-libvorbis –enable-libgsm –enable-libspeex –enable-libschroedinger –enable-libdirac –enable-avfilter –enable-avfilter-lavf –enable-libdc1394 –enable-libopenjpeg –enable-libopencore-amrnb –enable-libopencore-amrwb –enable-version3
After a successful configuration, all the enabled decoders, encoders and muxers will be displayed. There are some configuration dependencies here. If you don't –enable-gpl things like postproc will fail at build time. Next….
>make install
"Make" will probably take quite a long time.
Optionally you may like to build qt-faststart as well. If you don't know what this does, use Google, but in short it arranges atoms in QuickTime header files to allow for progressive download delivery.
>make tools/qt-faststart
If you try to use FFmpeg now, by simply typing "ffmpeg" you are likely to encounter an error regarding shared libraries (we did build FFmpeg with –enable-shared). To fix this we do the following:
>pico /etc/ls.so.conf
Add the line "/usr/local/lib" (without quotes) to this file and then save it. Read more about dynamically linked libraries here, specifically the fourth paragraph to explain what we just did.
That's it! Finished. Pretty easy, right? Now you just need to learn how to use FFmpeg, but that's a topic for another day. Very briefly though, here's a command line for creating a 2-pass H264 file, at 750kbps and 480×360 resolution, in a mov container, with progressive download enabled.
>ffmpeg -y -i inputfile.mpg -pass 1 -vcodec libx264 -vpre fastfirstpass -s 480×360 -b 750k -bt 750k -threads 0 -f mov -an /dev/null && ffmpeg -deinterlace -y -i inputfile.mpg -pass 2 -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec libx264 -vpre hq -s 480×360 -b 750k -bt 750k -threads 0 -f mov outputfile.mov
>/tools/qt-faststart outputfile.mov outputfilefast.mov
November 20, 2011 at 15:44
./configure enable-shared
Unknown option enable-shared, ignored
Found yasm 0.8.0.2194
Minimum version is yasm-1.0.0
If you really want to compile without asm, configure with –disable-asm.
No joy at all using debian sqeeze.
June 8, 2012 at 15:20
I was able to install yasm-1.0 on squeeze using this repository:
February 1, 2012 at 04:46
Worked. For the yasm error run:
aptitude -t squeeze-backports install yasm
also /usr/local/lib may already be called by checking:
cat /etc/ld.so.conf
September 20, 2012 at 12:43
I have the same error, can we add -disable-asm ?
February 23, 2013 at 17:33
I have the same problem, any ideas how to resolve it?

Get roadie rad.
When it comes to the question of what to wear, cyclocross poses many challenges. You need clothes that are durable, flexible, breathable, and warm. In short, you need apparel items that do it all. The Castelli CW 6.0 Cross Gloves are designed specifically for water, mud, and the chilly weather associated with one of the craziest events in cycling.
As a result, the Castelli CW 6.0 Cross Gloves are intended to keep your hands warm even in the wettest conditions since -- in cyclocross -- the longest races last a little more than an hour and there's no time for changing. A neoprene back, vented finger inserts, and a micro-perforated Clarino palm (a fabric made of extra-fine micro-fiber to provide superior softness and fit) get the job done, creating a glove that sheds water and sweat to keep your hands insulated and warm.
The CW 6.0 Cross Gloves also feature a silicone print on the palm for grip -- a small but important detail in a sport that requires constant shifting and braking without sacrificing dexterity. The embossed neoprene on the back of the glove is as warm when wet as it is when dry, and the cuffs are made with a Velcro enclosure that creates a secure seal around your wrists. Lastly, a microsuede thumb panel is included to provide a safe landing pad for the inevitable runny nose.
The Castelli CW 6.0 Cross Gloves come in Black/anthracite and are offered in five sizes from Small through XX-Large.
- A cycling glove designed specifically for 'cross
- Multi-material construction for warmth and function
- Wiping panel is easy on your face when the weather isn't

Is the sizing chart accurate??? I wear an xxl in almost all gloves and my hand measured the way you're stating is 8.5". Everyone says I have big hands too.....
Nice for cold weather rides and grippy.
Been using on cold weather road rides, flexible and grippy, still breathe and keep my hand from getting super sweaty.
Happy with the purchase.
Made good
So pity for me and give one star for this gloves.because this gloves gets me so well in my hand whem i ride bike
hole-y moley!
I used these gloves exclusively for the USGP race in fort collins. Despite the muddy conditions, I did not crash (phew). The gloves did not fair as well. BOTH of the gloves had multiple holes in them by the end of race weekend!! The stitching is awful and the fingers are simply falling apart. DO NOT BUY these gloves!!
Back to the drawing board Castelli. If you are going to label something CROSS then make sure they are tough enough to fit the bill!
Nashville, TN
Totally opposite experience here. I've raced 10-12 times with these gloves and wear them regularly for training and they are fairing very well.

X would be great. But, remember ambulance chasing Orlando Lawyer John Morgan has had CharLIE Crist stored out waiting to run for governor again as a democrat.Rick Scott......our next ex-governor!
Also remember, all the great minds come together in Orlando to cut a deal with JIM GREER to take the fall for Crist, Jeb Bush and all this culture of corruption.
All this slime eats from underneath the same OUTHOUSE.
They have DENUTTED every man in this state and country for that matter.
So who in the hell can the people of Florida put in the governsor's mansion that would stand a chnce to be honest???
What we need is another man like Claude Kirk with a set of balls big enought to straighten out all these criminals that have infested this state.
But, from the looks of things we have two chances for that; SLIM AND NONE!
It is interesting that all these links about the Bush corruption and Bush connections to everything that is wrong seem to have survived. In the past years I have seen some of them posted that soon disappearred. Maybe the topix has just got so overwhelmed with the truth coming forward they can't keep up with all the suppression anymore.
Maybe they are like MSNBC Chris Matthews; coming apart at the seams.
If so we need to find us a good honest young Christian man and run him for Governor of Florida on a No party Affilation ticket and start over.

So the next Dragonballball Z film...
Goku fights a rabbit...
So the next Dragonballball Z film...
Goku fights a rabbit...
Wow, that's still going?!
It's always been going I think. I've missed out on one or two ova's/movies, like the second Bardock filmSpoiler!Where he never actually died, he was flung backwards in time and defeated Freeza's ancestor and went Super Saiyan...sigh
Yeah, I thought the series would have made more sense and been more enjoyable as a series of OVAs, the way they seemed to drag everything out to fit into half hour programs was terrible. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised they're still making them.
I think they're meaning to bring out another series.
don't know if anyones recommended it yet but Deathman Wonderland is a fantastic very gory and cool. Also if anyones not seen Black Lagoon watch it now it's amazing.
Yeah, Black Lagoon's awesome, well worth checking out.
Been wanting to watch Black Lagoon for a while.
I saw a preview for a DBZ -- either series or movie -- in which some kid is playing a DBZ arcade game and gets sucked into a DBZ world. Conversely, I saw another trailer for a heavily animated (almost 3D/2D blend) that just featured some landscapes and Goku. So much stuff going on still. Unfortunately.
I have the first series of Black Lagoon, and I enjoyed it, but not enough to buy into the second series. Still, if you're looking for a Cowboby Bebop/Samurai Champloo/Outlaw Star substitute, it's defo worth checking out.
I'll probably get heat for this, but even though Remi is the star of the show, I found her pretty insufferable.
It's being done by Akira Toriyama himself so yeah, it could be good?
Also go see JoJo if you like ridiculous fights and fun dialogue, it's definitely worth checking. The series is huge and old, so in this anime they started from the very beginning and are going through the story really fast.
It's one of the few animes that I watch, and my current favorite to watch

They really ham in the timeline for these films in the Dragonball series. We're suppose to believe that every villain is more powerful than the last. The next thing we ever saw after the Buu saga ended was Goku leaving and then GT happening. So apparently in between that he fought this unstoppable cat/bunny thing and Vegeta met his long lost brother Coffee Table, at a party.
Kinda reminds me of the Cowboy Bebop movie. If you watch it all in order, then Spike has a personal epiphany, only for him to seemingly forget and have it again when the finale rolls around; which is why he spurs himself into action, anyway.
I'm not a fan of the movie, in general, but putting it in with the series just lessens the impact. Vicious is justifably a formidable opponent, a match/equal with history for Spike, but he doesn't seem so threatening after Vincent. And when the end happens, Spike doesn't figure out his destiny, he's just told what to think by some terrorist he's met twice. Eh.
Yeah, I pretty much entirely disassociate the movie and series. Movie has some stunning animation, though. Then again, series still does, too.
Also didn't realize it finally got a blu ray release in Japan. Not going to be importing because it doesn't have the English VA, but hopes it can still make it out here. Then again, I talked to a person who's imported it and watched it and she told me it looks pretty bad (poor transfer). All the sads.
Also mentioned in Cinema thread but finally watched Makoto Shinkai's Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below. It's pretty good and absolutely stunning.
I can see that, but still it's nice to have the movie of Cowboy Beebop

When I went to Japan, many years ago, I found this £200 limited definitive edition boxset. God, I so wanted it since I was obsessed at that point! I even had the PS2 game in my hands, which I've always wanted to play, but it was all in Japanese and thought it would be a waste of money. I did pick up a really awesome art book for the show - concept stuff, promo material, unused drawings, etc. - might post pics some day. It's great.
I'm happy with my Chinese version, though. It had more extras than the UK release, original Japanese and English VO, and a better packaging.
I'm finishing up Galaxy Railways today. :P
What that be about then, stranger...?
