Emails Show Google Offered to Aid Samsung in Apple Case
New evidence in the Apple-Samsung patent trial bolstered a widespread suspicion: this case might as well be called Apple v. Google.
Apple on Tuesday introduced a deposition by Google lawyer James Maccoun, who verified emails that the search giant had offered to cover some of Samsung's legal costs and agreed to foot some of the damages if the Korean electronics giant lost.
Google's legal protection pertained to two of the five patents asserted by Apple in this case. Apple is seeking $2.2 billion from Samsung for infringing those five patents. Samsung has countered by saying that Apple infringed two of its patents and is seeking $7 million.
The deep links between Google and Samsung are not surprising. Earlier in the trial, Samsung has said that four of the five patents Apple is asserting were covered by Google's work on the Android operating system and Google engineers testified on Samsung's behalf during the trial to counter Apple's claims. Samsung is the biggest manufacturer of smartphones and tablets running Android.
In the deposition, Maccoun confirmed that Google agreed to help defend Samsung against some intellectual property claims as part of the "Mobile Application Distribution Agreement (MADA)" between the two companies. This agreement allows Samsung to use Google applications on its devices.
The deposition was introduced by Apple to refute an earlier statement by Samsung saying that it was not seeking indemnification from Google in Sept. 2012 for the patents in question. This deposition authenticated emails from April 2012 of Samsung discussing indemnification terms with Google.
Introducing the deposition was a slight departure from Apple's legal strategy so far in the trial, which is taking place in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Calif. Throughout the trial, Apple's lawyers had been downplaying Google's role in the case, making clear that Samsung was the main party in this case.
Earlier on Tuesday, Apple defended itself against the two patents that Samsung is asserting by noting that the Korean firm had purchased the patents after the iPhone maker filed its first patent suit in 2011. Samsung has argued that it regularly acquires patents as part of building its intellectual property portfolio.

A 12-year-old boy will be charged in connection with the shooting death of his older brother.
A spokesman for the Quebec prosecutors' office tells The Canadian Press the charges will be laid this afternoon in Montreal.
The spokesman is not offering further details - such as whether the shooting appears to have been accidental.
Montreal police had said earlier today they were weighing involuntary homicide and improper use of a weapon as possible charges.
Police said the 16-year-old victim was shot in the upper body by a handgun they said could have belonged to the family.
The boy was arrested at the family home after Monday's shooting and was questioned by investigators overnight, until 5:30 a.m.

Heya there,
I've been running 1.10 for a long time, but decided to upgrade to .409.
The reason for this is because I've recently purchased a Panasonic G20 plasma, which has a built in client feature that enables me to stream movies directly over the TV rather than having to use the PS3 for it.
The client / renderer is detected as: Panasonic MIL DLNA CP UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50
Anyways.. with 1.10, I found a problem on the G20 when fast forwarding HD movies - 720p as 1080p... when I try to fast forward, the movie just stops it seems. If I do it on regular DivX movies, there isn't any issues.
Now, I wanted to test if .409 might have fixed that.. but now I've seen an entirely new problem - which is... I can't browse anything on the G20 anymore... it lists the PS3 media server, but when I click that - I see no shared directories or anything.. but when I switch to the PS3.. it works fine....
What could be the problem here?

Thinking back at Lyst now, I can't say anything else than it was really amazing. I can't think of one thing that was not great! On so many levels: Speakers, food, people, games… It was the first time for someone from Copenhagen Game Collective and Game Girl Workshop to come together and organize something like this, and we were quite nervous. Especially taking the topics into account: Romance, love and sex in games. It felt like so many things could go wrong, on so many levels.
Patrick Jarnfelt from CphGC and I, Andrea Hasselager from Game Girl Workshop first started collaborating on the iPad game Moontide (still in production), an abstract game that emotionally follows the female cycle. We quickly found out that we were a dynamic duo, and when Patrick told me about the idea that had been circulating around Copenhagen Game Collective for a while: A game jam about relationships emotions, and sex, I was like 'Let's do it!' CGC had been a bit hesitant about doing it, because of it being sensitive topics and stepping into the (important) and ongoing discussions in the games industry, right now. I guess our conclusion was: Yea, we will probably make mistakes, but if you don't start somewhere, you will never start. Read more »

Number of Angel Tree applicants drops
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 7:43 p.m.
Fewer people applied to the Salvation Army's annual Angel Tree program this year, officials with the organization said, despite having two extra weeks to file the paperwork.
There are 300 fewer children participating in the program this Christmas season. A child's name, age, needs and toy requests are listed on wish lists hung on Christmas trees at businesses and organizations throughout the county. Residents then choose which wish they would like to make come true.
"Our numbers are still a little down and we're not sure why," said Capt. Lynda Thornhill of the Salvation Army.
If it's due to families not needing assistance this year, it could be a good thing, Thornhill said. Last year, the program helped 1,200 kids and this year only 916 are signed up.
Angel Tree donations will be distributed at the old Food Lion at 800 Greenville Highway on Dec. 20. On the following day, additional assistance will be available for families that may have missed the Oct. 19 Angel Tree application deadline.
"I feel like there are some families out there that didn't hear about it," Thornill said about the Angel Tree program, adding that she's concerned there are children who still need Christmas donations.

Rose, Sugar to host 2015 semifinals
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 10:39 a.m.
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — The first semifinals in the new playoff system will be played in the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1, 2015.
The BCS conference commissioners announced the dates and rotation for all 12 years of the coming postseason format after a meeting in Key Biscayne.
The Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl will always be played on Jan. 1, or Jan. 2 in years in which New Year's Day falls on a Sunday.
In the second year of the playoff, the Orange Bowl will host a semifinal, along with one of three other sites that still have yet to be selected. The site of the first championship is also still to come, though Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, seems to be the front-runner.

text: The world of hard rock and heavy metal is a difficult one for women to exist in. The tougher-than-thou image that overtook the music is dependent on testosterone to survive, and even when women dare enter the fray, they are looked at with a curious eye. The spots reserved for women, for the most part, are either as keyboard players in the background, or as operatic sirens with the looks of a model.

I lost power due to a storm last night and when I restarted PMS today I couldn't get it to detect any media renderers. I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and nothing seems to be working. I'm running Windows XP, and have never had any issues with PMS until now. I'm not terribly computer savvy, and really have no clue how to solve this issue. Thanks for any help.
I just remembered that Java updated and had been waiting to take effect til I rebooted, which didn't happen til I turned my PC back on after the power went off.

Until recently, the information flow on social media has been in one direction.
We post, comment, tweet and move around the Web leaving digital crumbs everywhere, which data brokers quietly vacuum up. Then they crunch all that into a profile to figure out what advertisements to show.
But what if we could see our dossier? Would we rise up and demand laws restricting data brokers? Would we change what we do online? Or would we just shrug and move on?
I've taken a look at a few portraits of myself online, and they're jarring, like peering into a funhouse mirror. But it's important to take a look anyway.
I checked out myself on aboutthedata.com, a website by Acxiom, the marketing technology firm, and it has my basics generally right -- age, gender, the number of kids I have, their ages and our household's general interests like "children's items."
Household income is off, as is the kids' gender, but that reassures me, that even powerful data miners don't have a direct view into my tax filings and my home.
But that sense of reassurance is misplaced, says Irina Raicu, director of the Internet Ethics program at Santa Clara University.
"The profiles are being used not only to market to us, but also there is a predictive aspect to this," she said, adding that several industries such as insurance are based on making predictions. "I don't know what is worse, if they have accurate information or inaccurate information."
Then again, Acxiom could be holding back. When it launched the website last year, some criticized the firm for not offering a complete picture of what it collects and markets, such as whether a person is a "potential inheritor" or lives in a household with a senior or someone with a health condition.
Over at Google's Ad Preferences, I see a list of my 30 interests that seem generally right. However, I do not need to see ads related to "intellectual property," so I deleted that category.
But then there are those who offer a darker portrait.
"You go through life unaware of the digital shadow you cast," says a website created by Ubisoft Entertainment, as part of promoting "Watch Dog," its video game that highlights privacy and hacking.
Its analysis organizes my Facebook friends into categories I had never thought of before -- "Pawns," "Stalkers," "Scapegoats" and "Liabilities," the latter referring to the people who tag me in photos.
The folks at Five.com, a startup, offer their own analysis of people's Facebook image based on five personality characteristics, such as "openness" and "neuroticism," which it defines as "experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, and vulnerability."
Then it allows visitors to compare their qualities to those of famous people or Facebook friends. Since it launched earlier this month, it has analyzed 200 million Facebook profiles, the company says.
It's a fun diversion. Turns out, with high neuroticism, I'm most like the Miami Heat's LeBron James.
But there is a serious point to it all, says Nikita Bier, a co-founder and chief executive of Five.com.
"A lot of people don't realize that it's possible to extract information that you didn't explicitly give permission to extract," he said. His firm is working on a social network that would allow multiple conversations but, like a dinner conversation, the transcript would evaporate after it was over. And thus, in theory at least, there is nothing for the data miners to mine.
So am I better off seeing these portrayals of my online persona?
These portraits are "habituating" us to the idea that "the real way to understand you is through analyzing data," said Joseph Turow, a professor of communications at The Annenberg School for Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's another step in the quantification of the individual."
Maybe, but these snapshots are a step toward transparency in learning how we are viewed online. In fact, what we need is a right to the full dossier, much like asking credit agencies for one's credit report. What I do with the information remains to be seen.
But first I'm going to have a talk with my "liabilities" on Facebook.

It has finally happened, Snooki's body is rebelling against her. Yes, the greatest sociological experiment of our time took a turn for the biological and now Snooki is voiding her bowels wherever she possibly can.
But before we can get to Snooki's UTI and the havok it created in our little glass cage full of guidos, we must look at their language so we know what the hell they're talking about.
- Shore Shower: Spraying one's body and private areas with perfume to cover up a certain odor, usually that of leaky bodily fluids. It is essentially a "whore's bath" in all the important ways.
- Electrocuted: When the "electronics" in the wall react poorly to seven hair dryers, nine curling irons, and one electric body hair trimmer are plugged into two sockets in the same bathroom. According to the guidos this is similar to being tazed, because that is the only other instance they know which electricity is used: hair and arrest.
- Star 69: To go back and find out who started a rumor or who made a certain comment previously. This is very important because in the guido subculture, gossip runs rampant. Also, they don't use mobile phones, so they're still using the argot of 1995, when land lines were still necessary.
Now we must address Snooki and her wee-wee problems. It started at the club when she danced so hard that she actually wet herself. This is not the first time that a guido has been known to lose control of his bodily functions on the dance floor from beating up the beat, so it wasn't so crazy. However, the next day, when she continued to pee frequently and it stung, she self-diagnosed herself with a UTI because, apparently, she used to be a veterinarian's assistant and she knows these things. Yes, the guidos so closely equate themselves with animals that they no longer go to regular physicians and instead clutter up the waiting rooms of veterinarians.
Snooki's medication, of course, is tequila. The rationale is that, just as you put alcohol on the skin before a shot to disinfect it, that will happen inside the body by drinking excessive amounts of tequila. Also it numbs the pain from the infection, so it not only removes the cause, but the symptoms. Of course this would be wrong for any human but I do believe that, due to the guido's mutated physiognomy, that tequila can cure a UTI. You never see Snooki go to the doctor, she just medicates and medicates and medicates until her bladder is so full that she lets it out on the porch.
Some of you might think this is disgusting, but, as we have seen repeatedly, the bathroom is the most sacred room in the guido household and to put something that is impure and full of nasty bacteria into the toilet would be to anger the household god, The Duck Phone. That is why Snooki pees on the porch.
Speaking of bodies in revolt (or bodies and revolting) The Situation had all sorts of problems last night, including his penis popping out of his shorts. The funny thing about The Situation is that, well, he's not even making sense anymore. Sure, when he was walking around with his dick all out, he was drunker than seven skunks drinking Snooki's tequila-based pee substance, but still, he was making no sense.
He's saying that people are leaving him out, treating him badly, and suspecting him of plotting something, even though he's been being nice to them. He's been being nice to them for like three days after several years of being an asshole. They guidos know that he's not going to change so quickly, so of course they're suspicious. The Situation is such a narcissist that he believes that any small alteration to his behavior patters should have a drastic effect on how he is perceived. He is wrong.
I'm not even sure that I understand the basis of his argument last night (like many, I was distracted from what he was saying by his penis) but I think it goes something like this: he doesn't feel liked or included by the group, especially the boys. This is after he said he wanted to be the villain and he takes every opportunity to leave the group to go hang out on his own. How are they supposed to make him feel? He asks Snooki about it, and she says he has to talk to the boys. He intuits that to mean Snooki knows something he doesn't. She does not, she is just a rational person who knows to go to the source of the problem. The boys, so wrapped up in the rules of Guy Code that they would never tell another guy their problems with him to their face, just stay mum and say, "We have no problem with you." Sitch says he believes them, but he doesn't, because, for such an asshole, he is rather perceptive.
While the problem lies in the guido males inability to communicate anything other than joy of getting laid and the prowling for sexual congress. The guys won't be honest. Somehow, by the end of last night's dispatch, Sitch has turned this back around on Snooki. Since the guys aren't the problem, then she must be trying to play a trick on him. Only The Situation would think in such warped logic, because he perceives everyone's actions as directly related to him.
There has been an important development in Snooki's transformation into some sort of strange rodent totem. Yes, she put the Bunny Suit on once again last night. While I thought it was initially so that she could take on an animal persona and, therefore, be closer to her household god, The Duck Phone, it seems to be serving two very different purposes.
In art and literature the bunny is often a symbol of fertility and sexuality, because it has many children and is always known to be having sex to reproduce. Snooki, who sees herself as an animal that should be treated by a vet, has decided that, if she were an animal, she would be a rabbit. This most likely has something to do with a rabbit's unfettered libido. We can see this in the way she uses the bunny costume on her male roommates: frightening them either to get them in bed or while they are already in bed. It's like her sexuality is completely unchecked, but also something outside of her, something that needs its own fetish (in the classic definition of the word).
However, we later learn that Snooki sees the Bunny as an English person who knows nothing about the guidos. Perhaps the Bunny Suit is not a stand in for Snooki, but it is a way for her to play the other. When she wears the suit, she can step outside of herself and glimpse the guido culture objectively, just as all of us do, and she finds it frightening, which is why she uses the suit to scare her roommates. While DJ Paulie Deceptacon and Vinny created "guido drag" personae in Italy to mock the posers that adopt their lifestyle without authenticity, Snooki is trying to find a way out of her lifestyle by taking on the observations of the outside world. She wants to be something more, something greater than she is. She wants to be English and conservative, but even thinking that makes her feel like an insane cartoon creature. The Bunny Suit is her coping mechanism for dealing with the cognitive dissonance of both knowing herself and wanting to escape herself at the same time.
It seems that Snooki's behavior, either by bringing the disease of the UTI into the house or by dressing in her Bunny Suit has, indeed, angered the guido's household god, The Duck Phone. Aside with curtailing and controlling the guido's communications with the outside world, The Duck Phone also has a strange control over other avian creatures. Usually, when the guidos leave Seaside Heights and don't take The Duck Phone with them, he tends to show his wrath by causing other airborne creatures to attack them. It happened with crows in Miami and with pigeons in Florence. Now it appears that he is taking out his anger in Seaside Heights too.
Yes, the guidos are beset by a seagull infestation. JWOWW calls them rats with wings and they swoop down to eat up all the remains that the guidos leave behind. Like the other creatures that The Duck Phone has sent after the clan, they are not easily scared away, and just shouting at them, which would usually cause most birds to scatter, only disrupts them momentarily before they come back to taunt the guidos once again.
In effect, they are trapped in the house, because if they go outside, they will be attacked by a swarm of winged creatures bent on their destruction. Yes, they are stuck in the house to worship and pray, to kneel down before The Duck Phone and ask for forgiveness for their sins. And it will sit there, on its little altar next to the bean bag chair and its eyes will flash red with the fires of devotion and it will let out a call to all of those birds to leave the guidos alone—at least for now. "Quack," it will scream, reverberating throughout the whole town, causing the birds on the boardwalk, resting on wires, and feasting on waste to scatter into the air in one great swarm. "Quack," it will scream. "Quack. Quack."

This is an ongoing Linux.com series that profiles The Linux Foundation's individual members and begins to collectively illustrate a very important part of the Linux community. Individual members help support the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds and other important activities that advance Linux, while getting a variety of other fun and valuable benefits. It is this collective support from thousands of individual members that enables The Linux Foundation to provide important services for industry and community.
The series began with senior application developer Matthew Fernandez. Today, we talk to Kevyn-Alexandre Paré.
Some Linux Foundation members don't do anything just a little. That's certainly the case with Paré, a software engineer based in Montreal who traveled nearly 4,000 miles by car last summer to attend the first ever LinuxCon (part of a 9,000-mile summer road trip). Apparently, his trek did nothing to slow him down, because upon arriving at LinuxCon, the BUG community gave him an award for enthusiasm.
Last summer is also when Paré became a Linux Foundation member, taking advantage of both discounted event registration and training courses, including Linux Foundation training courses "Developing Linux Device Drivers" and "Linux Kernel Internals and Debugging."
"Those two courses taught me a lot, were practical, and the teacher used real life experiences. I'm even thinking of retaking 'Developing Linux Device Drivers' since it is now offered as a 5-day course," said Paré.
Paré was originally introduced to Linux in college and quickly became passionate about embedded devices. Today, he uses Linux both at work and at home and participates in the beagleboard, gumstix, Android and Ben NanoNote projects.
"My favorite Linux innovation is the Ben NanoNote because they're applying copyleft to hardware and software. Do it yourself? Do it together!" says Paré.
His recommendation to new Linux users and developers is to keep working with others and sharing as much as you can to help. Paré says his Linux Foundation membership is a way to contribute to and be a part of The Linux Foundation, home to Linux creator Linus Torvalds, while gaining advantages such as discounts and networking opportunities.
"I expect it will help me stay up to date with training and making new contacts during conferences. I expect to gain a lot of positive visibility."

How do I measure the angle between an arc and an intersecting line? I know the angle will be constantly changing depending on where abouts I am measuring on the arc but is it possible?
Also is it possible to put onto my drawing the total length of an entity. In the measure tools I used the command and it worked fine but just shows the total length in the console. Is there a similar tool in the dimension menu?
I wanted to put on my drawing the circumference of an arc I have drawn. At the moment I have just had to copy the measurement from the console and put the text on the drawing manually.

Yarn Profile: Classic Elite Lush
First Impressions
It lacks the telltale furriness of other angora blends we've reviewed. Instead, it possesses an exceptional softness and body comparable to worsted-weight cashmere.
This being a Classic Elite yarn, you won't find the usual powder-puff baby colors of other angoras. It's available in 21 earthy hues including reds, greens, purples, and blues.
Knitting Up
Very little fuzz or fluff was produced—a welcome relief after having reviewed several sneeze-inducing blends. Stitches appear even and consistent, and the 4.5 sts/inch gauge means speedy progress.
Blocking / Washing
The fiber consistency didn't change much except for a slight bloom in fuzziness. But the gauge in my swatches expanded from 5 sts/inch to 4 1/2 sts/inch. (I should note here that I used 5.5mm needles and knit rather tightly, hence the difference in gauge between my own and what's listed on the yarn label.)
Definitely keep this expansion in mind, as it could make the difference between a nice-fitting sweater and a Goodwill donation.
The swatches didn't show any signs of pilling until I'd submitted them to quite a bit of thrashing. At that point the surface of the swatches began to show their age with large pills and an underlying surface of tired-looking fuzz. Hopefully your sweaters will never get this kind of abuse, but be forewarned.
An average women's sweater will require some 10 skeins, which brings the total bill to $99.50. For a soft, warm, durable, handknit, 50% angora sweater, that's not a bad price.
I wholeheartedly recommend this yarn for any level user and any project where you'd like extra softness and luxury without breaking the bank. Treat it with more care than I did in my tests, and it'll fare well.

OAKLAND -- The much-anticipated 2012 debut of quarterback Terrelle Pryor drew cheers from a paid crowd of 51,446 at O.co Coliseum on Sunday as he trotted on to the field.
In less than two minutes, it was over.
It amounted to a three-and-out, not including a false start, and starter Carson Palmer returned and finished the game, a 15-0 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the Raiders had plans to put Pryor in position to either run or pass, it never happened because they punted so quickly. After the false start, Pryor lined up behind center, handed off twice to Darren McFadden and threw incomplete intended for Darrius Heyward-Bey on third-and-7.
"We had it set at just one series," Pryor said. "It's just a steppingstone. I enjoyed the four plays, or whatever it was, but I was excited to get in there at least."
Coach Dennis Allen will let game situations dictate how much time Pryor gets going forward.
"How much he plays, I don't know the answer to that exactly, but we'll see on a game-by-game basis," Allen said.
Pryor said he's fine with that plan.
"I'm a team player, and whatever they need from me I'm going to do so we can win," Pryor said. "I love learning from (Palmer), and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. When the time's right, I'll be ready."
Pryor was on the field for exactly one snap last season -- a play in which he was called for a false start -- against Kansas City.
Janikowski's miss from 51 yards was his third miss of the season, with the others coming from 61 and 64 yards.
"I'm at the line of scrimmage and that thing is in between the defensive end and the outside linebacker. I mean, that's kind of deadly," Brisiel said. "I didn't kick it. I was trying to shoo it along, and then I get booed for it. Something was wrong with that thing; it was a little off, I think."
The pigeon, which didn't attempt to fly away, was scooped into a bucket by a member of the field crew at halftime and taken to parts unknown.
"I just felt like we wanted to go with some other guys and we'd have him inactive this week," Allen said.

When Tom and Sharon Scanlan began building their home in the Kuehster Road community southwest of Denver six years ago, they could see mountainsides scarred by the state's most massive wildfire ever - the 2002 Hayman fire.
"We looked at it every single day," Tom Scanlan says.
Those charred mountainsides helped inspire the couple to build their mountain home out of inflammable insulated concrete, bury their propane tank far from the house and cut scores of trees to create defensible spaces around the house and barn.
"We often had guys come up and talk to us from the state tree forestry," Tom Scanlan says. "We understood the risks and we all did ... more than was recommended."
But when the Lower North Fork fire roared into their neighborhood in March, the Scanlans escaped only minutes ahead of the flames that left their home a charred ruin.
"There was no mitigation that could possibly be done to stop what happened here," Tom Scanlan says.
Some fire scientist might dispute that, but it's clear that Colorado forests burn hotter, faster and more destructively.
The fire that destroyed the Scanlans' home, and the one that scarred the mountains they looked at while building it, bookend a decade of exploding wildfire in Colorado and a booming population at risk.
The Lower North Fork fire also highlights the challenge of Colorado's red zone - where overgrown and unhealthy forests threaten to overrun homes with wildfires. And mitigation efforts to prevent catastrophic megafires like the Hayman, forest managers hope to treat forests with thinning and prescribed burning.
But even planned fires in these heavily fueled and tinder-dry forests have the potential to jump their boundaries, like the controlled burn that grew into the deadly Lower North Fork fire.
A 2008 Statewide Forest Resource Assessment shows more than 24 million acres of Colorado's forested lands are now overgrown and unhealthy due to fire suppression or other land management practices, with 6.8 million acres desperately in need of treatment to improve their resiliency to fire, insects and disease.
While mechanical thinning and prescribed fire remain important tools, says Steve Segin, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service in Colorado, the expectations of how much impact they could have was inflated after the Hayman fire and the Healthy Forest Restoration Act.
"There's so much forest that needs to be treated in Colorado," Segin says. "We're never going to be able to catch up. We'll never be able to make a dent."
Prescribed burns require permits from state air-quality officials, must meet strict weather, fuel moisture and staffing conditions, and often face resistance from nearby residents. So, although more than 400 proposed burns received permits last year, those projects touched only a fraction of the fuel load that needs to be incinerated.
Burns that spread out of control increase resistance from the public. In the wake of the Lower North Fork fire, which killed three people, Gov. John Hickenlooper put a moratorium on prescribed burns in the state until an investigation of the Colorado Forest Service's burn on the Denver Water Board land was completed. Prescribed fires from Colorado Springs to Boulder were cancelled.
Fires on cut or chipped wood don't burn the way natural wildfires do.
When Elk Creek Fire Chief Bill McLaughlin arrived at the Lower North Fork fire, the fire was actually burning downhill, rather than up. The flames were largely on "masticated" fuels - timber that had been cut down, chipped into a course mulch and spread out to dry until an appropriate time to burn it.
"I had never seen a ground fire running through masticated fuels like that. It looked like just a 4-inch bed of charcoal burning everywhere. The fire was burning downhill into native fuels."
Some foresters and fire managers worry that incomplete mitigations, particularly those that leave fuel on the ground waiting for a prescribed burn that may never come, can increase the fire hazard.
During the Fourmile Canyon fire near Boulder in September 2010, hundreds of stacks of wood from fuel treatments - jack piles - burned hot and launched thousands of embers. Some witnesses disputed it, but in the preliminary Fourmile Canyon fire report released last fall, investigators reported that fire mitigation and fuel treatments did little good.
That may be because of the abundance of fuel left behind by treatments, or due to the fact that the jigsaw puzzle of private and public lands allowed only treatments on so small a scale that the exploding wildfire could easily overrun them.
"The Lower North Fork and the Fourmile taught us about the need to take care of the slash and the ground fuels," says Tony Cheng, director of Front Range Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project at Colorado State University. "The ground fuels are the ones that make the fires burn hotter and into the tree crowns. How do we deal with all these? Are we replacing one hazard with another hazard?"

Chiropractic is a safe and effective way to support a woman's body during pregnancy. It is "vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth" (Jeanne Ohm, ICPA Executive Coordinator).
Chiropractic care is focused on working with the communication system between your brain and your body. A change in a vertebral or cranial bone function and position creates imbalance to the surrounding muscles, ligaments and nerves. The body's ability to communicate and function correctly decreases. Natural processes like child birth can then become harder than necessary and not as smooth sailing as we would like it to be. Chiropractic is beneficial to all pregnant women through the entirety of their pregnancy, no matter what the baby position is.
Misalignments of the sacrum creates tightening and torsion of the pelvic muscles and ligaments. The baby grows within the uterus, a snug sack that hangs from the pelvis via ligaments at the back, front and sides. A change in the position of the bones of the pelvis alters the uterus ligament tension and therefore changes the shape and tension within the uterus. In many cases this is cause enough for the baby not to go head down.
Referred to by many as the 'baby turning technique', the Webster Technique is becoming better known. A major misconception is that chiropractors turn babies, this is incorrect, chiropractors do not turn babies. The woman's body does given the right help. "The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This in turn reduces torsion in the uterus, a cause of intra-uterine constraint of the baby and allows for optimal fetal positioning in preparation for birth." (ICPA).
A breech presentation occurs in about 3% of full term pregnancies. As a foetus grows, the position of the baby does not matter until around 32 weeks, where we like to see baby head down. In general at 28 weeks up to 25% babies are in the breech position, At 30 weeks up to 17% and at 32 weeks up to 11% babies are in the breech position (Williams Obstetrics).
A survey in the US reported a high rate of success (82%) in relieving the musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine constraint using the Webster Technique. Although the sample size was small (112), the results suggest that it may be beneficial to perform the Webster Technique in month 8 of pregnancy, when breech presentation is unlikely to spontaneously convert to cephalic presentation and when external cephalic version is not an effective technique. When successful, the Webster Technique avoids the costs and/or risks of external cephalic version, cesarean section, or vaginal trial of breech. In view of these findings, the Webster Technique deserves serious consideration in the health care management of expectant mothers exhibiting adverse fetal presentation (Pistolese 2002).
In a recent visit to Australia, Jeanne Ohm from the ICPA made headlines while here to promote chiropractic care for pregnant women. Visiting paediatric chiropractic expert and home birth advocate, Dr Jeanne Ohm said pre-natal chiropractic care may reduce the potential for a caesarean delivery. "Caesarean deliveries in Australia have risen in the past 10 years from one-in-five births to more than one-in-three," Dr Ohm said. "Studies show that this rate could be reduced if more women consulted a chiropractor early in their pregnancy for assistance in adjusting the spine, balancing pelvic structures and allowing the baby best possible position for a non-interventional birth."
The ICPA has done vital international research, including Australian data on the role of pre-natal chiropractic care throughout pregnancy and its outcomes for a natural birth. The research showed that chiropractic care can assist in a faster, safer, natural birth.
Pre-natal chiropractic care does not only benefit the general community, but has the potential to not only improve clinical outcomes, but reduce public health care costs, cut hospital queues and free-up the availability of other health services (Coffs Harbour Advocate).
If you are looking for a chiropractor certified in the Webster Technique, head to the ICPA website for a list of chiropractors who hold a Certificate of Proficiency in the Webster Technique.

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport.
A visa is not required for citizens of the U.S. and Canada. Citizens from other countries may require a valid visa. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Embassy of Italy for the most up-to-date visa information.
Cancelation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty medical bill. Insurance can be purchased through us.
We always recommend that you see a doctor or health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. They will best determine your vaccination and medication needs based on your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, planned activities and up-to-the-minute requirement changes. For all vaccinations and health requirements, we also recommend that you consult the World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://wwwnc.cdc.gov.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Recommended Items:
Weather in Italy depends on the region. Temperatures in the south are generally hotter than in the north. You can usually rely on sun between May and September with the hottest temperatures in July and August. Beaches along the coast are at their busiest in August. During spring (April to June) and early autumn (September and October), weather is generally good without much rain. For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com.
Electricity in Italy is 230 volts. Italian sockets are designed to accept two round prongs. Some sockets will take the plugs with large prongs only; others will take the ones with small prongs. A multi-adaptor with different plug configurations can be very useful. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Roaming charges vary between carriers, but tend to be quite costly. Consult your phone provider prior to departure to discuss overseas rates and international package options. It is also possible to purchase a SIM card locally to avoid international charges when calling numbers within Italy. (You should check to see that your cell phone is SIM card compatible.)
Internet: Wireless access is available in most urban areas, airports and hotels. You'll find Internet cafés throughout Italy.
Generally speaking, we advise bringing €70-100 per day, per person, for spending money. Be sure to bring lots of small bills for porters, wait staff and housekeeping (not obligatory and based on your satisfaction). Euro paper money comes in different colors and denominations (5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 notes). There are also Eurocent coins: 1 cent, 2 cents, 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1 and 2 Euro. Your largest bills should be 50 Euros, with a combination of 5's, 10's and 20's. We recommend that you bring approximately 100 Euros of spare cash in small denominations to have ready for tips and expenses when you first arrive.
We recommend that you get local currency from your bank before you leave home or from a bank machine in-country which is much cheaper than an exchange service at the airport or in tourist areas. Your bank card may work, but Visa or MasterCard are more widely accepted. You will need a 4-digit PIN to be able to use your cards in Europe.

Traffic circulates around Firdous Square in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. But the scene here 10 years ago was one of chaos and jubilation.
On April 9 2003, a giant statue of Iraq's former President Saddam Hussein was pulled down, symbolizing an end to the dictator's rule.
Now, ten years later only a bronze foot with twisted metal remains on the pedestal.
Iraqis recalling the moment the statue fell, say they wish more would be done to develop the area.
Hameed al-Kifaei, the former spokesman for the Iraqi Governing Council says he'd like to see the square transformed into a forum where people can express themselves freely, similar to London's Speakers Corner, where people talk in public discussing different issues.
"The existence of the remaining parts of the statue does not change anything because the regime has been toppled and it will never return and there is progress of freedoms and they will progress further even if they staggered. I wish that this square will be turned into a platform for freedom of expression and opinions. I wish that anyone who wants to express his opinion can come to Firdous square to express his opinion. I hope it will be turned into something similar to London's Hyde Park,'' said Al-Hejwel.
The site was once home to a monument dedicated the Unknown Soldier, it was built in 1959.
But under Hussein's rule it was demolished in 1981 and a tribute to the former Iraqi leader was built instead.
For many Iraqis after the statue was toppled a decade ago, they hoped another statue would have been built in its place. But so far, nothing has replaced it.
"Firdous Square has a very sad history. When Saddam Hussein came to power, he demolished the Unknown Soldier monument and put in its place a statue for himself. After the change in 2003, I hoped to see a statue that embodies Iraq's tragedy and all the dictators who ruled and oppressed Iraq and the Iraqi people," said art critic, Sameer Al-Hejwel.
"Firdous Square is present not only in the Iraqi people's memory, but also in the memory of people of the world. We, who are concerned with the cultural issue have to give a priority to Firdous Square and turn it into an important edifice to be an indicative of the past ten years and years to come," added artist Mahmoud Shubbar.
In 2003, the decision by the U.S. and a few of its main allies to invade Iraq and depose its long-time dictator Saddam Hussein was hugely controversial. After months of rhetoric and international debate, President George W Bush issued a 48-hour ultimatum on March 17 for Saddam and his two sons to leave the country and spare it from military attack. Two days later, the bombing campaign dubbed 'shock and awe' began in full force.
While Saddam's forces put up stiff resistance to invading soldiers at the southern port of Umm Qasr and Nassiriya, the expected drawn-out battle for Baghdad between Saddam's Revolutionary Guards and invading forces never materialized.
U.S. tanks had faced relatively little resistance on the outskirts of the capital and U.S. tanks rolled into the center of the capital on April 9 as the Baath Party's stranglehold on the country disintegrated and statues of Saddam began to topple.
For many Iraqis that day in their history is etched in their minds. But the crumbling statue also stands as a reminder to them of their past and uncertain future.

Google's new "My Maps" is one of the coolest new web technologies I've come across in a long time – I love it! But this, combined with an off-hand remark in a blog, got me thinking: where are all the free web apps?
This is only going to be a short (very short) post because it's the holidays, which I'm enjoying(!), but I wanted to leave you with some thinking to do during your time off. Google, the champion of free software in the off-line world, with projects like Summer of Code, are not even coming under any pressure to release the source code for their on-line applications: G-Mail, Google Apps and Calendar are just three examples.
There are some fantastic examples of free web applications like Wordpress, Drupal and Mediawiki; there are even some signs of real innovation coming from Red Hat's Mugshot website which, with its off-line client, is trying to further integration between our desktops and our on-line social "networking" persona. None of these, however, are targeting the same functionality as Google's suite of apps which to me is vital functionality: I can't afford to run my own mail server, even if I could there aren't any free software web mail systems that can match G-Mail, or Yahoo Mail or Windows Live Mail.
Maybe it's time to try and apply a bit of pressure to these companies? Maybe it's time we started pointing some of the spotlight at the on-line world?
"I can't afford to run my own mail server, even if I could there aren't any free software web mail systems that can match G-Mail, or Yahoo Mail or Windows Live Mail."
Wrong. Check out Zimbra and Scalix.
I understand what you're trying to say here, that the user should have the code to other people's web service, but I disagree with this. I have always thought that the free softare domain only extends to the software that we run on our own computer systems. The companies that provide web services have their software running on their machines - only a minimal amount of code is transferred to the user's side. The client side user code should be free as it is operating on the user's computer. The server side code doesn't need to be free as it does not operate on the user's computer.
An ever-increasing problem
Roberts is right to add his attention to that of others on the challenges posed by web services to the notion of free software. Currently, licensing schemes don't handle this too well simply because of uncomfortable fit that web services have with the notion of "distribution" - and of course, the problem is that making software available as a web service, without doing what is conventionally done in a distribution, enables a situation where takings are possible from the free software community without a reciprocal "give-back". This is only too obvious in the case of Google as Roberts points out (and as folks like Tim O'Reilly have noticed, there are "pockets of proprietary opportunity" all over the net) - and as more work moves to the web, the easier it becomes to make software available as a service with no distribution involved. The Affero license should go some way towards handling the problem of web services but plenty more needs to be done - at the very least, it represents a substantive legal and technical challenge (does distribution only apply to code that runs on user/client machines?). I'll try and comment on the Affero license soon at my blog (http://decodingliberation.blogspot.com) - I confess I haven't taken a particularly close look at it yet.
Sort of...
I agree, mostly the web apps aren't GPL. Zimbra (already mentioned) has a free edition. Also, RoundCube has a pretty cool GPL webmail app. That's about it. The only other web free software project that garnered any attention was AJAXOffice, which is now ghostware.
I also agree that there is a need for web apps. That's the new "thing".

Condit will smash Diaz.
And Jones will beat down Machida tomorrow night.
Can't wait to see Overeem KO Lesnar and Cerrone beat Nate Diaz at the end of this year!

I think Diaz has too much for Condit. Cerrone and Nate will be awesome.
How about Torres getting cut for tweeting a rape van joke from workaholics?

someone put crack in dana whites cereal, he fucking bailed out rampage personally after he ran over people high on energy drinks. Yet he's gone for this!? bonkers
I like to think cooler heads will prevail eventually and he'll be re - signed after apologising and going to some rape crisis center or something.. weird shit though.
I reckon diaz will beat condit, wasn't that long ago that condit took quite a beating off that young kid that trains up with gsp (what the fucks his name)... Diaz ain't getting knocked out and condit ain't the guy to wrestlefuck him
Jones will win but i'm pulling for machida just to make shit interesting although rumors are that he's got the flu which would be pretty shit. I reckon tito will take a decision over nog too. Mir/Nog duno, i hope nog gets revenge but who knows just how sick he was last time.
overeem lesnar will be awesome, so long as overeem can defend the first takedown, he'll get to kick the fucker and as soon as brock feels one of those leg kicks he's gona collapse mentally, hands up, walk backwards in a straight line and get blasted.
i think
fuck knwos with this sport though, brock could end up 1 punching overeem to sleep, stranger things have happened

It's BJM's job to help the fighter down. Not JBJ's. Still watching Machida plop like that was a "holy shit" moment. Then again, he should have tapped. Same goes for Nog. Play the hero and you get the hero's reward.
UFC 140 has to be in the running for GOAT. Absolutely incredible event.
I will be honestly surprised if Condit takes Diaz. Apparently, you didn't see what Diaz did to BJ.
I'm not much for all the JBJ hate, but that comment from Greg Jackson is cringe worthy and cynical. We'll see if JBJ is so humble when he eventually loses. I do think he's being genuine most of the time, but it seems to me that he's on a mental level in terms of confidence that most people can't reach so they call him arrogant. I'm not sure if I buy that argument though.

He does name drop a lot though. He said something about Ali's jabs and how someone said he would have a better jab than Ali someday in his interview with Helwani.
That's an eyeroller.

UFC 145 is over and done.
To me, Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans looked a lot like GSP vs Josh Koscheck.

In addition, Kate Walsh ("Private Practice") returns to prime time in the sitcom, "Bad Judge."
"Parenthood," the critically acclaimed, but modestly rated, family drama will air a final season consisting of only 13 episodes. Meanwhile, "Parks and Recreation" will conclude after a midseason run.
Among the shows canceled by NBC were: "Community," "Believe," "Crisis," "Dracula," "Revolution," "The Michael J. Fox Show," "Growing Up Fisher," and "Sean Saves the World."
Also of note: Two NBC event series, including the 13 episode "Heroes" reboot, "Heroes: Reborn," and "A.D.," the follow-up to "The Bible" miniseries. The air dates on both are TBA.

18-Year-Olds Will Vote On Dec. 15th Dixon: Some 2 43 new members will be eligible to vote in the upcoming Dec. 15 Tribal Council and Constitutional Committee elections. These voters are resident members between the ages of 18 and 21. The Tribal Council Elections Committee...composed of councilmen Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, Tom Pablo, Vic Stinger, Bob McCrea and John Mal-atare....decided Monday to go ahead with the lowered voting age pending a U.S. Federal District Court decision on the Nov. 17 Tribal Constitution Amendment Election to lower the voting age. B-U-L-L-I-T-E-N The Secretary of the Interior has notified the tribe that 18 -year-olds may vote in the Dec. 15 election. The ruling was based on a recount of the Nov. 17 election in which previously disqualified reservation votes were validated, this brought the total reservation turnout over 30 percent, thus automat ically lowering the voting age. The committee called for marked ballots from resident 18 year olds to be counted separately from the votes of over 21 members. The results of the 18 year old vote would be determined by the outcome of the court case over the eligibility of off-reservation members in the earlier constitutional referendum. U. S. District Judge William Jameson is drafting a decision which will determine whether or not the constitutional voting age of tribal members will be lowered to 18 years. A referendum election was held Nov. 17 and both on and off-reservation voters approved of the lowered age. But the Tribal Council did not approve of the off reservation vote and took the Bureau of Indian Affairs, who had set up the rules for the election and allowed the off reservation members to vote, to court. VOTE DECEMBER 15 Choosing Your Candidates and Casting Your Vote A lot of people think that just because they did not register to vote in the Nov. 17 Constitutional Election, they are not allowed to vote in the Dec. 15 Tribal Council-Constitutional Committee elections. And there are those tribal members who think that even though they registered for the 18 yetr old election, they will not be permitted to vote in the Dec. 15 election because they did not vote Nov. 17. Then there are those who think they missed a special registration for the Tribal Council and will not be able to vote. All of these people are wrong. No registration of any kind is necessary for eligibility to vote on Dec. 15. If you are a qualified voter, all you need do is show ud at vour district polls on Dec. 15, identify yourself, and vote. That is all you have to do. Here is a checklist of what you should do election day. —-First of all, decide whether you are an eligible voter. The Tribal Constitution and by laws require that voters in Tribal Council elections must be an enrolled member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes .. . must have resided on the Flathead reservation for at least one year prior to the election ... and must be at least 18 years of age - The tribe went to the polls November 17 to decide whether or not the voting age should be lowered to 18. The returns from both on reser-_(cont. on page 6 ) Your Vote Counts Does one vote count in a Tribal Council Election?

They will also have the authority to draft the changes or rewrite the entire governing document.

Mediation ordered in civil suits against former Sulligent High coach
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 12:16 a.m.
OXFORD, Miss. | Federal judges have ordered mediation in two civil lawsuits alleging that a former Sulligent High School football coach molested boys in Mississippi.
The two alleged victims who filed the lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Oxford are now adults. They say Dwight Bowling molested them while they were students at Smithville High School in Mississippi. The defendants include Bowling and the Monroe County, Miss., School District.
Bowling coached for 28 years at Smithville before retiring and coaching at Sulligent High. The molestation alleged in the lawsuits is said to have happened between 2004 and 2010.
Bowling, 58, pleaded guilty in 2011 to numerous state and federal charges related to sex acts with boys. He was sentenced in federal court to 25 years. In state court, he was sentenced to 35 years.
Bowling is in a federal prison in Virginia.
Bowling was coaching for Sulligent when he was arrested in September in Mississippi on his way home from a football game. Authorities said a 13-year-old boy who was with Bowling at the time of his arrest accused him of improper touching.

STOCKTON - Two violent crimes occurred within two blocks of each other over a span of a few hours Tuesday along south Stockton's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, authorities said.
Two men told police they were parked in a red 1999 Mercury Mountaineer near South Hunter Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard about 3 p.m. when they were approached by two carjackers, one armed with a baseball bat. The bat-wielding man smashed out the front and rear windows of the SUV and forced the victims to exit the vehicle, officers said.
One of the carjackers then got into the Mountaineer and drove away while the second carjacker fled in a gray Honda sedan, police said. One robber was described as a Latino man 19 to 21 years old standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 140 pounds with a black hooded sweatshirt. The other was a Latino man about 45 years old standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 230 pounds with a white shirt.
Later in the evening, about 8 p.m., a food truck vendor was robbed while taking an order two blocks west near South Center Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. A man approached the truck and ordered food before pulling a handgun and demanding money from the register, authorities said.
The robber then fled on foot. He was described as a Latino man 18 to 20 years old wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants, police said.

Prospective and recent brides and bridegrooms are invited to announce their engagements or weddings in The Marietta Times' "Brides and Grooms 2011."
This annual special bridal section will appear in the Times' Jan. 29-30 weekend edition.
All weddings announced in the special section must have taken place within the past year. Any engagement or wedding announcement submitted for the special "Brides and Grooms" section must not have previously appeared in The Times.
Deadline for information to be received at The Times for the special bridal section is 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 17 . Information that is mailed must have a Jan. 17 postmark.
Information to appear in the special bridal section can be e-mailed to email@example.com; submitted through the Virtual Newsroom at The Times' Web site (www.MariettaTimes.com); mailed to The Marietta Times, 700 Channel Lane, Marietta, Ohio 45750; or hand delivered to The Times' office at 700 Channel Lane.
Any information that is e-mailed can also include a photo, which should be submitted as a jpeg attachment.
Announcements intended for the special bridal section MUST have "Bridal Section" or "Brides and Grooms" at the top of the copy so we know that is where you are wanting the announcement to appear. Any information without one of those notations will appear in the regular weekend Lifestyles pages of The Times and not as part of the special section.
Include your name and a daytime phone number in case there are any questions concerning the announcement.
All information should be either typed or legibly handwritten. If an announcement is handwritten, it would be a good idea to print information such as names to make sure we have the correct spellings as when things are handwritten some letters, such as "a" and "o," look the same.
All wedding announcements must have taken place within the past year.
All wedding announcements MUST include the date the wedding was held.
Weddings and engagements submitted for the special bridal section must not have previously appeared in The Times.
All information submitted is subject to being edited to conform to our standard newspaper style.
If someone who was a part of the wedding party is a relative (such as a brother or sister, cousin, aunt or uncle), feel free to include what relationship they are to the bride or bridegroom.
Names of businesses or individuals (unless it is noted that the individual is a relative) who provided some type of service for the wedding (such as decorating the cake, providing floral decorations or arrangements, or videotaping the wedding) are not included in the announcement.
Photos submitted to appear with the announcement should be of good quality. Since the faces of the couple are the most important thing in any wedding or engagement announcement photo for the newspaper, we do ask that the couple's faces be visible in the photo.
Photos that are mailed or hand delivered should be either an actual photo or submitted as a photo in the jpeg format on a CD. Photos that are e-mailed need to be submitted as jpeg attachments.
Photos that are submitted can be picked up in the newsroom at The Times anytime after Monday, Jan. 31. Any photo not picked up within 10 work days after it is published may be discarded, although we normally do keep photos longer than that. If preferred, a photo will be mailed back if a stamped, self-addressed envelope is included with the announcement. While The Times cannot guarantee the return of photos, every effort will be made to return them.
There is no charge for wedding or engagement announcements to appear in The Times or in our special "Brides and Grooms" section.
Wedding and engagement forms are available at The Times from the receptionist or in the newsroom. The forms are also available online on The Times' Web site (www.MariettaTimes.com) by clicking on "Printable forms" under "Contact Us" on the left side of the Web page.
It is not necessary, however, to use the forms to have engagement or wedding announcements appear in The Times. Other announcements that have run previously can be used as a guideline for what to include.

Wayne Taylor hit a game-ending solo home run in the ninth inning, lifting Stanford to a 5-4 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday and forcing a deciding third game in the NCAA super regional in Nashville, Tennessee.
A berth in the College World Series will be up for grabs at noon (Pacific time) Sunday in the series finale. The game will be telecast on ESPN2.
Taylor, who earlier in the day was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 16th round of the Major League Baseball draft, connected with a 1-1 pitch from Adam Ravenelle with one out to silence the sold-out crowd.
"I knew that if I was going to be able to hit, with his velocity, I was going to have to get the head of the bat out," Taylor said. "I thought it was a pretty good pitch that he threw, it was down. I was able to put a good swing on it and get a hold of it."
But he wasn't sure if the ball would carry into the stands.
"It was kind of low, so I figured it could bounce off the fence," Taylor said. "But I thought I got it pretty good."
Vanderbilt (45-19) tied the score at 4-4 in the top of the ninth when Stanford reliever A.J. Vanegas hit Xavier Turner with the bases loaded in a rally started when Dansby Swanson reached first on a wild pitch after striking out.
The Cardinal (35-25) took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on a two-run double by Brant Whiting.
Whiting, who was 3 for 4 with two doubles, also was drafted Saturday, going to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 30th round.
Taylor had two hits and two RBIs.
Stanford starter Cal Quantrill pitched seven innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits. Vanegas earned the win with two innings of relief.
"It was a great college baseball game," said Stanford coach Mark Marquess. "A little bit too great for me late."
San Jose Giants
Chuckie Jones hit a two-run homer in a five-run third inning and added an RBI triple in the eighth as the San Jose Giants beat the host Modesto Nuts 9-3.
