In Theaters This Week
The eight "Up" documentaries have become such a monumental project that it's hard to talk about them as individual films.
The series has checked in with a bunch of Brits every seven years since they were 7 years old. "56 Up" finds its 13 men and women (originally, there were 14, but one no longer participates) all doing pretty well. It features quite a bit of talk about the breakdown of the British class system, something several of these people have experienced firsthand over their 49 years in the "Up" films, and perhaps more talk than necessary about what it feels like to be the focus of these films.
The extent to which their lives have been altered by participating in the films is an interesting subject, but there's so much.
to cover here. "56 Up" not only checks in with everyone but it also offers efficient little summaries of what each participant has been through in the past five decades, and it seems a shame to spend so much time on a subject reality TV has already done to death.
That caveat aside, "56 Up" is well worth seeing. It's astonishingly moving to watch these people change (and stay the same) over the course of eight films, which effectively argue for and against the Jesuit motto that gave the series its impetus: "Give me the child until seven and I will show you the man.
Directed by: Michael Apted
Rated: Not rated, but contains no objectionable material
Should you go? Sure. Although you'd ideally have seen the previous "Up" films, don't worry too much about that. "56 Up" gives you quick looks at the previous films in the series.

Cozy Oaks Has New Owner, Same Comfort Food
Published: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 6:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 21, 2013 at 6:34 p.m.
CUISINES AND ATMOSPHERE: Cozy Oaks is a bit of a contradiction, but in a good sort of way. To look around the joint, you'd think the clock had been wound to 1965. The older-than-that photos and murals of the city, old license plates and memorabilia certainly give that impression. But the waitresses order food from tableside with a smartphone.
1201 E. Orange St. Lakeland, 863-802-8121
Open 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
AMBIENCE: 3 stars out of 5
FOOD: 3 stars out of 5
SERVICE: 3 stars out of 5
WHAT'S NEW: Salah Darwishe is the new owner of the restaurant and may make some changes to the menu.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Think of Cozy Oaks as a breakfast and comfort-food place. It offers a variety of breakfasts, burgers, sandwiches and "Ma" food: country fried steak, meat loaf, biscuits and gravy and Shepherd's pie.My co-Nibbler ordered the pie, a good-sized bowl filled will ground beef, cheddar cheese, corn, brown gravy and topped -- the best part -- with mashed potatoes. I got the tasty "big boy" breakfast and it was, well, really big. It included a biscuit and gravy, two sausage links, two strips of bacon, ham and a choice of home fries, grits or hash browns, which were good. Breakfast is all the time. The service by April was also good, but one tip: Don't shoo people away from their table starting at 2:15 when the hours on your door say 3. Yes, this Nibbler knows you probably started at 5:30 a.m. Instead, fix the door sign: Open 6 a.m. till after lunch. Or, open till we close.
PRICES: Biscuits and gravy with two eggs are 5 bucks. You can get off cheaper with two eggs, potatoes or grits and toast for $3.39. For lunch, half-pound burgers are almost all priced at $8. Hot entrees are less than $8.RICK

ANTIOCH -- True love knows no age.
So, it came as no surprise when Bob Graves smiled proudly Friday as he and his bride, Mira, walked down the aisle hand-in-hand -- 72 years after marrying the first time.
The longtime lovebirds, who moved from Martinez to the Quail Lodge Retirement Community a month ago, renewed their vows in front of their new peers and family.
Bob, 93, and Mira, 90, tied the knot on a whim during a trip to Reno on Jan. 17, 1942, but they never had a formal religious ceremony.
So on this Valentine's Day, Mira wore a white wedding dress with a long, flowing train, and a tiara. Bob wore a tuxedo for the first time in his life.
"You look cute," Mira told Bob, sneaking a quick kiss, just minutes before the ceremony.
Their exchange of vows Friday morning made many of the residents in attendance tear up.
When asked if he would take Mira to be his wife, Bob said: "I will, I have ... and I will forever."
Bob and Mira's love story started in 1941. He was working at Western Electric Co., and became smitten with a junior college student and waitress named Mira at the San Mateo boardinghouse where he lived and ate meals.
"As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one," Bob said.
Bob took Mira out on their first date and asked her to marry him. She said yes, then no because her parents wouldn't approve since she was too young.
Within weeks, the couple drove to Reno with their friends who were eloping. At the last minute Bob and Mira decided they would elope as well. Bob bought a $10 ring.
"It was during wartime. People didn't have fancy weddings," Mira said.
Bob was shipped out overseas to fight in the Army during World War II shortly after they tied the knot, and Mira found out that she was pregnant with their first son.
While he was overseas for three-and-a-half years, the couple wrote lots of love letters. When he came back, they had a family to raise.
"We're just simple folk," Mira said.
Quail Lodge staff recently picked the couple to be the Valentine's Day king and queen for a day at the complex. When they wanted to use their wedding photo, the couple explained they didn't have one.
"We were all just in disbelief," said Jenifer Noble, Quail Lodge activities director.
From there, Quail Lodge staff and others in the community played the role of Cupid, donating the accouterments for a wedding.
"I think the miracle is that there are so many people and families that are splitting apart, it's amazing that they have remained so devoted," said Susanne Larson of His and Hers Formal Wear in Brentwood.
Larson, along with many of the Quail Lodge residents, were a bit teary-eyed during the ceremony.
"They're just darling people. What a blessing they are to each other," said Grace Barry during the reception.
The post-wedding soiree included a ride around the block in a Quail Lodge bus, with a sign that read "Just Married," a Champagne toast from sons Gary and Grant, and a wedding cake.
And wedding pictures.
"They are just adorable, and their love is so sincere," Noble said.
The couple still holds hands when walking around Quail Lodge (doctor's order for balance, Bob said), kiss each other in public, and insist on being on the same team for games.
When asked what is the key to staying together so long, Bob said: "Yes, dear. Yes, dear."

Hannah Poling Court Case – Some Considerations
The words "vaccine" and "autism" hit the news again this weekend with the release of the award to compensate the Poling family for pain, suffering, future care and lost wages for their nine year old daughter, Hannah.
Hannah was developing typically until a regressive episode at 18 months that closely followed the 9 vaccinations she received at a well-baby visit. Further testing revealed that Hannah 1) developed autism and 2) had the metabolic signature of a mitochondrial disorder which may have made her vulnerable to injury from the vaccines themselves or the fever that commonly accompanies vaccines and many childhood illnesses.
Although this case has been long fought, the recent award is renewing questions in the autism community.
How common are mitochondrial disorders?
The field of mitochondrial medicine is relatively young, but growing in importance. The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (UMDF), with whom Autism Speaks has partnered in an effort to learn more about mitochondrial disorders and autism, reports "while exact numbers of children and adults suffering from mitochondrial disease are hard to determine because so many people who suffer from mitochondrial disease are frequently misdiagnosed, we now know the disease is approaching the frequency of childhood cancers." Mitochondrial disorders are more broadly defined and therefore possibly more frequent than frank mitochondrial disease, which is typically defined by identifying a known causative mutation. For more on mitochondrial disease and disorders, please see 'What is Mitochondrial Disease?' on the UMDF website.
Testing for mitochondrial disorders is notoriously difficult in part because the field is young and misdiagnoses are common. However, identifying dysfunctional mitochondria in autism and mitochondrial disorders is an area where Autism Speaks has invested in a High Risk, High Impact grant from Autism Speaks awarded to expert clinicians and researchers investigating mitochondrial disorders at University of California at Irvine and University of California, San Diego. Through research and partnership with the UMDF (read story about our recent joint symposium), we hope to shed more light on "mitochondrial autism," including how it is identified and how best to treat it.
Are there other reports of mitochondrial disorders and autism?
In 2009, John Shoffner, M.D. reported a study of 28 children with an identified mitochondrial disease and autism, looking at the effect of fevers on regression.
One of our investigators in the aforementioned grant, Robert Naviaux, M.D., Ph.D., has written a detailed commentary for the public on these data.
Should this information change my plans to vaccinate my child?
No. The recent award pertains to a legal decision not a new scientific discoveries— it is news and not new science. Therefore, no new recommendations are warranted.
Several epidemiological studies have explored whether either the MMR vaccine or thimerosal, a preservative previously used in vaccines, are linked to autism, and these studies have not supported a link. However, these studies were not designed to identify effects in a small population of potentially vulnerable children due to rare genetic and/or medical conditions.
We are seeking to understand if vulnerable populations exist, including children with unidentified mitochondrial disorders, and if so, how we identify them early so they can be protected from public health threats in the safest manner possible. For more information please see our vaccine statement and an interview with Dr. Geraldine Dawson, Autism Speaks' Chief Science Officer, about vaccines and autism.
We recognize that this is a sensitive topic in our community. Please be respectful to the opinions of others and especially to the Poling family who has endured the spotlight for too many years.
September 13, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I think the Polings case illustrates how real and frightening regression is.They are an incredibly brave family to see this through. In the past vaccine court lawyers have pressured families to sign a a gag order. I do not know the details of the Poling case but they were brave in sharing their daughter's struggle with the world. I hope Hannah received the fair and just settlement she so clearly deserves.
There is no way to test for mitochrondrial disorders with 100% certainty.My son has had blood tests, a muscle biopsy and the answers are never definitive. Most ASD kids have a disorder- not the full blown disease. Yet even the disorder makes their immune systems vulnerable.
I family history of autoimmune diseases- especially Parkinsons & thyroid diseases and now I vaccinate 1 at a time w/ months in between. I have done for my affected son's younger sibling and that is now what all his cousins do. But I wish I knew more how to keep our kids safe.
September 14, 2010 at 11:52 am
AS should note that although Hannah's mother had the same genetic signature for mitochondrial dysfunction, she is asymptomatic and went on to be both a nurse and a lawyer, in addition to an amazing autism mom fighting for her child's recovery. But for the 9 vaccines given in one day, Hannah might have been able to do the same. The evidence for the connection was so overwhelming that HHS settled the case for upward of $20million. Why is AS so reluctant to acknowledge that although the science of mitochondrial functioning, vaccines and autism is in its infancy, common sense and prudence would seem to dictate that UNTIL the studies are done, it would be more prudent NOT to give infants and toddlers multiple vaccines in a single visit?
September 16, 2010 at 6:22 am
I see that Autism Speaks defines "autism" in such a way that anyone with any autistic behaviour has "autism". This, of course, is not the definition used in the Poling case, nor in the relevant nomenclature of ASDs. She did not have "autism".
Doubtless for empire-building reasons you misreport the findings in this case. Why you mislead parents in this way, rather than trying to properly explain the issues, is intriguing.
September 17, 2010 at 8:37 am
Right, after further investigation, it was dtermined that Hannah had a mito dysfunction and an encephlopathy that manifested as autism.
The question is how many other kids like Hannah are out there that are being given the "autism" label but who actually have an underlying mito problem? How many of our kids are being mislabled "autistic" and not being given proper medical treatment because of it?
The medical community is not making much of an effort to explore underlying medical cause of the "autistic" behaviors they take the behaviors on face value and slap on the autism label when they should be running tests to rule in or out a mito problem. Usually the parents have to push for these tests after their kids are already labeled.
Dr. Insel said on 10-15% of autism cass are genetic, so what's causing the other 85%? Are these cases due to a mito dysfunction?
September 16, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I completely agree with Angelique's post.. it would be prudent(safe) not to give babies multiple vaccines especially those with suspected mito or who have a family history of autoimmune, neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric disease
well said Angelique.
September 16, 2010 at 9:25 pm
So glad that AS is investing funding for furher research into autism and mitochondria. Unfortunately, like much of autism research, AS is looking at a genetic link.."rare genetic and/or medical conditions" when realistically, we are looking at an increased number of autistic chldren who have dysfunctional mitochondria not dysfunctional genes. Epigenetics is a better source of research and vaccines during pregnancy (flu-thimerosal) has all the potential of damaging mitochoindria
Mitochondria are vulnerable to toxins. That is where AS needs to be investigating, especially mercury and thimerosal.
September 16, 2010 at 11:20 pm
I think it is a good idea for AS, with all of its money, to take a look at mitochondria issues and autism – "Through research and partnership with the UMDF (read story about our recent joint symposium), we hope to shed more light on "mitochondrial autism," including how it is identified and how best to treat it.
I think though, AS is skirting an issue here- the issue that many, many children with an autism diagnosis have dysfunctional mitochondria. Like immune dysfunction, GI dysfunction, sensory dysfunction, cognitive dysfunction, mitochondria are being shown to not work properly in these children. To continue to investigate genes for any of these dysfunctions is inappropriate, ie – "population of potentially vulnerable children due to rare genetic and/or medical conditions"..
The issue of mercury and especially thimerosal in vaccines, is being ignored and denied, like it is a done issue. Hannah had MANY thimerosal vaccines as many other children did as well. Thimerosal has not been removed – it has been reshuffled around the vaccine recommendations so it is now in a more vulnerable population – fetuses, their mothers, and infancy.
Mitochondria have been around for ever — so why now are we hearing about so many children diagnosed with autism also having dysfunctional mitochondria? Please think long and hard on wasting more years chasing ""mitochondrial autism genes" when so much research is showing mercury causes mitochondria to not function properly.

Mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired oxidative-reduction activity, degeneration, and death in human neuronal and fetal cells induced by low-level exposure to thimerosal and other metal compounds
Thimerosal Induces Apoptosis in a Neuroblastoma Model via the cJun N-Terminal Kinase Pathway
September 17, 2010 at 8:52 am
I agree that mito dysfunction is where research should be directed.. Autism researchers should be collaborating with the mito specialist. Also geneticists like Dr. Mario Capecchi who said if the brains immunity, specifically the microglia, are are not functioning properly then that will manifest as mental illness including OCD, Schizophrenia, Alzheimers, Autism.
Dr. Capecchi said there's a direct correlation between the immune system and behavior. Microglia, the brains immune system, effect behavior. "Defective microglia output defective behavior"
Watch the full interview with Dr. Capecchi here (it's fascinating):
Utah scientist makes breakthrough in mental illness research- KSL news
Let's get the best brains to work together on this. Immunologists, geneticists, mito specialist, toxicologists, neurologists…We need a research summit to collaborate on autism.
September 17, 2010 at 10:21 am
We were lucky enough to finally have mito diagnosed in our 14 year old son after many years of trying. His history is nearly identical to Hannah Poling's. Even at this age, identifying this disorder is making a difference for him. I strongly support AS's involvement in the umdmf and the researchers who desperately want to help our kids. Identifying mito is looking like it will be a lot easier in the not so distant future, which could be a real game changer on so many levels!
September 18, 2010 at 5:52 pm
I think it is very discouraging to look at your website and not conclusively tell these parents that giving so many immunizations to these children as being wrong. They don't even fully develop all of their immunoglobulins until the age of two. Yet we inject them with three vaccines at birth, which is massively destructive to these young children and their immune systems. This is why they are finding live versions of the measles in these children and in their spines. Perhaps you have few researchers for all the contributions given and less than accurate knowledge on the subject. Who knows, this website could be receiving contributions from the CDC or such organizations wrapping up such crucial information. Maybe the website could also research the UK vaccine-autism award for Robert Fletcher. Perhaps it will be the final straw to your websites lack of scrutiny over such important information. At least National Autism Association has told parent to think about the recent discoveries before immunization and discard the ridiculous new study (that the CDC funded)saying that there is still no possible way that vaccines cause autism. Right after the polling award no less. It is sad that you can't give these parents the information that is available already to the public and even sadder that you are supposed to represent the voicelessness in our children.

After Bellarmine College Prep lost nearly every significant contributor from a team that reached the state final, Kenneth Olugbode knew his role would dramatically change this fall.
He spent the offseason preparing for the challenge, studying film, working on drills and listening to his mother tell him about becoming a leader.
Olugbode, the last of three brothers to play for Bellarmine, achieved his mission and more. Despite suffering a knee injury early in the season, the two-way standout overcame the pain to lead the Bells to a West Catholic Athletic League championship and within inches of repeating as Central Coast Section Open Division champions.
For this, the linebacker/running back is the Mercury News Football Player of the Year.
"He was truly the leader on our team on both offense and defense," coach Mike Janda said. "It's amazing how he worked so well with the younger players. His maturity level was beyond expectations."
The San Jose State-bound Olugbode did more than provide guidance for teammates. He also changed positions midstream, moving from tight end to running back just before league play opened.
The move gave Bellarmine the offense it needed to beat the likes of Serra and St. Ignatius en route to an undefeated league record.
"Him playing running back for us was a critical part of our offensive success," Janda said. "He got the tough yards. When we needed 4, he'd get 5, When we needed 3, he'd get 4. If we needed 10, he'd get 11. He was that kind of player."
Olugbode missed one game after suffering a strained medial collateral ligament against Piedmont Hills in September but returned for a crucial game against Archbishop Mitty in early October.
Bellarmine edged the Monarchs 14-10, a victory that got the Bells rolling toward the league championship.
"I thought he carried them for the majority of the year," Mitty coach Matt Haniger said. "If they don't have him, I think they lose four or five games."
Olugbode said the Mitty game was the most painful for his knee but also was rewarding.
"I felt like after that game, I knew exactly where we could go," he said. "It was painful. I had a nice, big knee brace on that game, but I knew there was no way I could go out of this game. The team needed me."
Olugbode became Bellarmine's go-to player, finishing with 739 yards and 10 touchdowns on 127 carries. He also was the leading tackler on a defense that had some huge moments, including a goal-line stand against Serra that clinched the Bells' spot in the Open Division title game.
Terra Nova coach Bill Gray, whose team lost to Bellarmine in the opening round of the playoffs, marveled over Olugbode's closing speed to the ball from middle linebacker.
"He's unblockable," Gray said. "He just slips off blocks."
Olugbode's season did not have a storybook ending. On a fourth-down run near the goal line in the Open final, St. Ignatius stopped him just inches from a potential winning touchdown, then ended the Bells' season in overtime.
"It's a game of inches," Olugbode said. "I had most of my upper body over the line, I guess. I have no idea if the ball crossed or not."
That aside, Olugbode achieved everything he envisioned during his offseason preparation.
"I feel like I brought leadership, and, like Coach Janda says, I was the heart and soul of the team," Olugbode said. "I brought enthusiasm and fire to every practice -- and happiness. A lot of people forget it's just a game, and we've got to have fun. That's really what makes you play your best."

There currently isn't enough evidence to recommend avoiding use of products that contain triclosan — an ingredient added to certain soaps, cosmetics, clothing, cookware, furniture and toys to reduce or prevent bacterial contamination. Recent studies, however, have raised questions about whether triclosan might be hazardous to human health.
Research has shown that triclosan:
When you use a product containing triclosan, you can absorb a small amount through your skin or mouth. A 2008 study, which was designed to assess exposure to triclosan in a representative sample of U.S. children and adults, found triclosan in the urine of nearly 75 percent of those tested.
Triclosan isn't an essential ingredient in many products. While triclosan added to toothpaste has been shown to help prevent gingivitis, there's no evidence that antibacterial soaps and body washes containing triclosan provide any extra benefits, according to the Food and Drug Administration.
If you're concerned about triclosan, look for products that don't list triclosan in their ingredients.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS - Playing two games in a single day is never easy, especially when the first one is against a five-time defending state champion.
Eagle Valley's boys basketball team proved up to the challenge on Saturday, taking down Class 3A powerhouse Faith Christian in the morning, 76-56, and then knocking off host Glenwood Springs in the evening, 55-43, to finish off the Demon Invitational with a flourish.
A 66-58 loss to Aspen on Friday night was the only setback of the weekend for last season's 4A Western Slope League co-champion Devils.
"That was an emotional victory this morning, a hard-fought battle," Eagle Valley coach Jim Bair said. "We were a little nervous about tonight, about the guys being able to bounce back. Playing two games in a day is always tough."
Behind a balanced offensive effort, the Devils (4-1) powered their way through the nightcap. Ryan Werner scored 14 points, with Travis Edgar contributing 12 and Samuel Lounsberry 11 to lift Eagle Valley, which jumped out to an early 9-3 lead.
The pesky Demons (1-3) kept it relatively close the rest of the night.
"We're a young basketball team," Glenwood coach Cory Hitchcock said. "I thought we played great defense. Our effort on defense was awesome. The offensive end hurt us. We turned the ball too many times. When you turn the ball over that much, it's hard to beat a good team."
Jared Gambrel led Hitchcock's squad with 14 points. Grant Fegan chipped in with 10.
After Friday night's loss to Aspen, the Devils were determined to make a statement on Saturday.
"It was definitely rough, especially after that loss to Aspen," said Werner, a senior. "But we came out strong. We knew we could do it."
The same two teams will meet again on Friday in Glenwood Springs. It will be the 4A Slope opener for Eagle Valley.
Eagle Valley girls split on Saturday
Riding high after a 48-43 win over Faith Christian in the morning, Eagle Valley's girls kept it close against Glenwood Springs on Saturday night. But the host Demons mustered the firepower to fuel a 49-44 win over their 4A Slope rivals.
"It was good to get that win against Faith," Devils coach Sam Bartlett said. "I don't know how often the girls program at Eagle Valley has beat Faith. They were the returning 3A state champs. They lost a lot of good talent from last year."
And they did it down a starter in Madeline Lounsberry, who was busy taking her ACT test.
In her stead, Mariel Gutierrez poured in 16 points and Megan Asmussen finished with 14.
Against Glenwood with Lounsberry back in action, Gutierrez had another big game with 20 points. Taylor Martin added nine points and Lounsberry seven for the Devils.
Kenzie Nelson-Buehler's 17 points paced Glenwood.

Stress Reducing Exercise Moves You Can Do in Minutes
As women with stress we've got to blow off steam before we lash out at colleagues or loved ones -- here are seven ways to help you do just that
Lay flat on your back and bring both knees into your chest. Hold your left knee into your chest leaving your right leg straight on the floor. Take a deep breath and bring your bent knee across your body toward the opposite side of the mat. Keep your shoulder blades on the floor. Look over your left shoulder. Bring both knees into your chest and repeat on the opposite side.

I should do this. But I think I need something more to release my stress than just exercise.

Is anyone plannin' on heading out there this weekend?
I got the "go ahead" to play Saturday morning, and was hopin' to get out there. So, for those 2 or 3 people that LIKE to shoot with me (alright, 1-2 people, I'll be realistic), I'll be out there. For those 20-30 people that wish to hurt me in some way, I'll be out there. And, for those competitive fools that want to beat me, this is your chance (cuz I haven't been playin' at all....well, nevermind, you STILL WON'T BEAT ME!!!), I'll be out there.
If nothing else...come prove me wrong, beat me up, or shoot a round out at a beautiful course with a really annoying guy!
Hope to see some of ya'all.
Side Note: If there is no rain present, I'll be pickin' up two other (very annoying) gentlemen. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Eng.
Side Note to Mike only: email me your address of where you'll be at

I thought the Elfs wrapped Santa's presents?
Oh yes, they definitely do, we're just helping out by supplying the paper.
no helmet?? Really dude… Maybe Santa will bring you a new one this year…
no shoes, shorts, gloves, or heart-rate monitor either; a quick ride to the store—it's a good photo, helmet or not.
So. Insanely. Jealous. :)
btw. seeing the wrapping paper sticking out *downwards* makes me happy that I'm one of the weirdos that wears my bag on the right shoulder. That way things angle UP out of my bag without blocking my vision when I do shoulder checks. :) Although I've been wearing a Chrome backpack style bag for the past year or so anyway.
Happy holidaze!
Thanks man. We're finally relaxing here after a very busy year—I've been testing bags from [Timbuk2](http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/bagbuilder), [Crumpler](http://www.crumplerbags.com/), and [Sealline](http://www.seallinegear.com/urban.asp?Category=Urban)—all have their good qualities. For light loads and errands, I prefer the messenger style, but for heavier loads and traveling it's the [backpack messenger](http://bikehugger.com/2006/10/timbuk_3.htm). I've traveled all over the world with that bag—it's all the compartments and zippers that work for me.
For the Modal, the Timbuk2 medium size fits in the S&S case and I carry all the tools, parts, tires. For the Dahon, I use the [Crumpler Complete Seed](http://www.crumplerbags.com/Cart/index.php) and put all my cycling clothes in it and food.

Mr. Tillman is the author of numerous books and articles on military aviation topics, including Clash of the Carriers: The True Story of the Marianas Turkey Shoot of World War II
Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Popularly known as the Douglas Dauntless, the U.S. Navy's SBD dive bomber was well named. The Dauntless turned the tide of war in the Pacific with the destruction of four Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway and made its mark in aviation history by sinking more enemy carriers than any other aircraft. Still in service at war's end, the Dauntless was the only U.S. carrier aircraft in operation from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day. The Dauntless was the only American Navy aircraft to fly in all five of the naval engagements fought exclusively by aircraft carriers and was credited with sinking the first Japanese fleet submarine and dropping the first bombs on Japanese-occupied soil during the war. The SBD was also active in the Atlantic, sinking Vichy French ships at Casablanca and German vessels in Scandinavian waters.
In between his authoritative accounts of these missions, Barrett Tillman tells the rousing story of the men who took the "slow but deadly" Dauntless into combat, loving her for her ruggedness and dependability while wishing for more speed and firepower. Filled with fascinating photographs, this book was widely acclaimed in 1976 when first published and is now available for the first time in paperback.
Barrett Tillman, the son of an SBD Marine pilot, learned to fly when he was a teenager and helped restore the Dauntless now on exhibit at the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico, Virginia. He is also the author of Corsair, Hellcat, MiG Master,and Wildcat.

Injured deputy spells end for county's Oakland patrols
Alameda County sheriff's deputies will end their patrols in Oakland on Saturday after failing to come to terms on a new deal to help the city's undermanned Police Department.
The sticking point was connected to the deputy who was shot during a traffic stop in Oakland last month. The county is paying workers' compensation and other associated costs from the shooting but wanted Oakland to agree to cover those expenses in any future incidents, Sheriff Greg Ahern said
"Obviously, I would like to be reimbursed for all our costs," Ahern said. "The city of Oakland's position is that if we are in a contract, that is part of the risk and that the risk falls upon us. It was something we couldn't resolve."
Mayor Jean Quan's office declined to comment Friday.
Council President Pat Kernighan said she was unaware the county was pulling out and hoped there was still a chance to preserve the patrols. "Obviously, that's a real loss to Oakland," she said.
With its police force at its lowest staffing level in well over a decade, Oakland earlier this year contracted with both the Sheriff's Office and the California Highway Patrol to help police some of the city's most dangerous streets. Oakland recently graduated 38 police recruits, but the department is still severely understaffed.
Sgt. Chris Bolton, chief of staff of Oakland Chief Howard Jordan, said deputies "were doing the kinds of patrols that otherwise wouldn't have been done."
The CHP will continue working in Oakland, city officials said.
Ahern said deputies averaged about 15 arrests per shift, working in teams of 11, two days a week, mostly weekends, under a 90-day, $265,000 contract. The last patrol is Saturday night.
On March 30, Deputy Eric Larson was shot in the foot while making a traffic stop in the Fruitvale district. The deputy, who is undergoing physical therapy, isn't expected to be back on duty for several months, Ahern said.
Until recently, Oakland officials had hoped the county would increase its patrols to four days a week free of charge. Ahern said that won't be happening. He also said the county won't be subsidizing any Oakland police academies, as the city had requested, although Oakland could send recruits through the county's program.
Hayward red-light cameras to end May 1
Red-light cameras in Hayward will be turned off May 1.
The City Council voted 6-1 Tuesday to terminate the program as quickly as possible.
Councilwoman Barbara Halliday cast the lone dissenting vote. Police Chief Diane Urban gave the council options for when to end the program, recommending that it be stopped in July. Halliday said she preferred the chief's recommendation because it would cost Hayward less money. To terminate the contract with Redflex Traffic Systems on May 1 will cost the city $125,591, compared with $107,292 on July 1.
The council voted in March to end the contracts before they expired after police found that half of the intersections with red-light cameras had seen an increase in rear-end collisions, ranging from 25 percent to 75 percent. And there were no reductions in broadside accidents at any of the red-light camera intersections.
"The issue is the safety of our drivers," Councilman Greg Jones said.
The positions of two community service officers were funded by proceeds from the tickets. The council voted to temporarily retain those two officers, at an annual cost of $215,496, absorbing the positions through attrition. City Manager Fran David requested flexibility, saying Hayward is entering into a difficult budget time.
Agreement continues Fremont's participation in Alameda County dispatch center
Fremont has entered into a five-year agreement for the Alameda County Fire Department to continue to handle the city's emergency medical and fire calls at a Livermore dispatch center.
The city will pay about $450,000 for fiscal year 2013-14 and continue to be part of a consortium of local agencies whose dispatch services are managed at the Alameda County Regional Emergency Communications Center.
The city's tab will vary each year, depending on the previous year's volume of calls. Last year, Fremont paid about $504,000. It had 13,887 calls.
Other agencies participating in the consortium include Paramedics Plus and fire departments for Livermore/Pleasanton, Camp Parks and the city of Alameda.

What's in a look? Before Apple started making immensely slick, sexy hardware, the main issues were always "specs", "graphic cards", "memory". Then, the game changed. People started buying Apple computers because they looked good -- inside and out. Their computers (and gadgets) are immensely appealing. Their operating system, OS X, is a pleasure to look at. When the iPhone was announced, I knew it was going to be the equivalent of Naomi Campbell in the cell phone world. And I was right.
At the moment, the computing industry and the phone industry are merging -- fast. This is a prediction that many of us technical writers made a long time ago: computers would eventually be as small (and as light) as phones and they would be able to make phone calls. Phones would become more and more complete, and would eventually become computers. Everybody could see that the discrepancies between the two would become less and less marked -- and they did.
I was waiting for a killer landmark product that would show the inevitability of this convergence. I was disappointed when a proprietary product like the iPhone became that landmark. I saw the rise of the iPhone, while free software projects and phone stacks had immense difficulties coming to life. The most prominent ones were OpenMoko, Maemo, QTopia -- none of them were there just yet. Nokia missed the boat with the N800. Then Google saved the game with Android. The rest is history -- history that is being written right now.
How far will Android go?
Java: a choice to respect
I am not sure I am able to forgive Google for picking Java as the only possible language to write applications for Android. I strongly dislike Java as a language -- and I am not alone. However, it was their project, and as much as I wished I could write Android applications in Ruby... well, I realise that I need to respect their choice, since they are the ones who worked on it. So, kudos to Google!
The problem with Android
Android at this point is the only serious threat the iPhone faces. Forget about Nokia, that was smart enough to create something very close to the iPhone way before the iPhone itself was conceived (the N770 and N800), and "forgot" to put a GSM card in it... and then bought Trolltech (creator of QTopia) while maintaining the GTK-based Maemo at the same time -- and finally came up with the N95, a symbian-based "iPhone killer" that has a long, long way to go. Android is the only possible iPhone killer.
But, is it?
The trouble is, Android is not a phone. It's a platform -- a set of interacting software components. Any phone maker can build a phone that uses Android as its main operating system, without paying a single cent for it.
The first Android phone that came out, the G1 (or HTC Dream), is a remarkable device. In many, many ways it is better than the iPhone. Even its interface is more usable, especially because it's more focused around the device being a phone.
But it's not sexy.
That's right, unless you are a hardware engineer, the HTC Dream/G1's hardware is not sexy. It doesn't have the iPhone's curves, it's chunkier, and it just doesn't feel as appealing. Even the way its fantastic integrated keyboard slides out... makes it look like an engineering miracle, rather than a mouth watering gadget.
The same can be said about Android's interface. It's fantastic. It's functional. But when you see it, you don't think "curves". You think "squares". In some ways it's more functional than the iPhone's GUI. But it just doesn't look quite as good.
Mind you, this is just me saying it. I am sure there are plenty of people who would disagree with me. But, forget for a second the beauty of free software, forget that you can download and use Android and even change it and redistribute, etc. Out in your hands an iPhone and a G1/HTC Dream, and play with them briefly, simultaneously. Then, tell me.
Is this going to change?
Is this ever going to change? I don't know. The issue is twofold: hardware and software.
Talking about the hardware, at the moment, the only real phone out there that uses Android is the G1/HTC Dream. Android is a new platform, and designing/building phones takes time. This is probably why Android phones are not popping up like mushrooms just yet. It was fortunate that HTC was involved in creating the first Android phone, because they really know what they are doing. You can pick on the lack of sexiness in the G1/HTC Dream, but it is still a fantastic piece of hardware. Others will follow. The hope is that at least one of them will realise that it is important to create a phone that appeals to gadget lovers. But, it's only a hope. When the Macbooks came out, I hoped that other laptop makers would wake up and finally create sexier laptops... but that wasn't quite the case. Most (all?) laptop makers are still stuck to the case design from the middle ages. So, we shall see.
Talking about the software, again, Android is new. It was created in a remarkably short amount of time, and the results are impressive. It will definitely improve with time -- in fact, it already has. However, it still looks quite "square-ish", and I do wonder if there is any desire, at Google, to make it any different. Maybe that's one way to differentiate the iPhone software from Android. Or maybe I belong to a minority, and most people actually prefer the look of Android compared to the iPhone's. Who knows? I guess I will find out when I read the (probably harsh) comments to this article.
Maybe creating a simil-iPhone, with its curvy hardware and curvy user interface, would be just an attempt to catch up that wouldn't stand a chance... and a better route would be to look for the next cool thing. Before Apple. Before anybody else.
Anyone up for the challenge?
Are you sure
I saw this statement in your op-ed:
"Android at this point is the only serious threat the iPhone faces"
and I have to wonder if you don't look at the numbers. Does not Blackberry deserve a mention here? In Q1, the Blackberry Curve was the top-selling smartphone. Almost as importantly, two other Blackberry's were in the top 5.
So while the G1's entry into that top 5 list is notable, I challenge your assertion that it is the "only serious threat"
I appreciate your unflinching support of open source software but isn't it risky to avoid facts while trying to carry that standard? Don't you risk journalistic integrity?
Pretty sure...
Hummmm I should have probably added "in the long run".
I think you have a point, but... let's talk in say 12 or 24 months, on this thread, and let's see how wrong, or how right, I was :D
Apple is "design-led" not "look-focussed"
Its not that Apple's products "look" good - its that they *work* well; they are designed with a focus on the user, rather than the interests of the developers.
A key challenge for free software development is that it is generally driven by the interest of the developer - this is hardly surprising; but it means that the developer's focus isn't on user needs but on other matters.
For free software projects to succeed in the way Apple has, they need to have a strong vision of a set of users, their needs and design and develop for that.
If "looking nice" is part of usability (and yes, it actually often *is* - something that is pleasurable to use is more *useful* than something that is a struggle to use or irritating to use), then design-led approaches will incorporate "look" - but not for its own sake.

Comments on Bruce Budowle's Presentation at the Sackler Colloquium on Forensic Science
Jonathan J. Koehler
Northwestern University - Pritzker School of Law
Michael J. Saks
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Digital Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Sackler Colloquium, 2005
Bruce Budowle devoted most of his presentation, "Laboratory Testing of DNA for Forensic Use: Protocols, Quality Assurance, Training, and Accreditation Issues," to criticizing an article we wrote entitled, "The Coming Paradigm Shift in Forensic Identification Science. Ironically, the article holds DNA typing up as a good model for the development of other areas into scientifically well grounded forensic identification sciences. Most of Budowle's criticisms reflect an extreme reading of our paper, failing to see important statements that we did make and complaining about statements he thinks we made but which we did not.

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.

Irish American actor Martin Sheen commented in an interview published in Irish America that he loves his Irish heritage in part because the Irish have never planted their flag on the soil of another nation. He loves the Irish because Ireland has always exported poets and artists and clergy, but not armies. He is proud that Ireland has never invaded anyone.
Yes….well. Though his beliefs may be correct in a technical sense, just about nothing could be further from the historical reality. While it may be true that in the past 1,000 years the various political entities that made up Ireland never invaded another nation, during that same period Ireland's number one export has been soldiers. So many soldiers, in fact, that not one but several nations can reckon in their own military heritage entire units made up exclusively of Irishmen. The students at the University of Notre Dame are not known as the "Fighting Irish" due to a well-known Irish predilection for passivity. It should come as no surprise then to learn that one of the most celebrated, decorated, and famous units in all of American military history was a brigade known during the American Civil War as simply "The Irish Brigade."
The Civil War was a uniquely American tragedy. It is not just hyperbole when historians and pundits alike make reference to the war that pitted "brother against brother." America tore herself apart and was only stitched back together again with a heavy thread soaked in the blood of an entire generation. It is no wonder then that the war continues to fascinate Americans even to this day. It was, and for some still is, a war of great passions. Regardless of one's sentiments about the causes and conduct of the war, certain names still ring down through the halls of time, carrying with them the echoes of heroism almost beyond comprehension. Names like Lee and Grant are instantly familiar to Americans, and for those with even a passing knowledge of history, units such as the famous "Iron Brigade" of the Union Army and the "Stonewall Brigade" of the Confederate still strike a chord. Yet even among this pantheon of heroes and heroic units. the name, legend and history of one group of men stands out: the "Irish Brigade" of the Union Army.
To understand the Irish Brigade one must look back before the war. As most people know, Irish immigration to the United States took off in the 1840's, in response to the potato blight and famine in Ireland. Between 1846 and 1854, more than one million Irish emigrated to the United States. Most Irish Americans are also aware that upon arrival here the majority of Irish immigrants met with something considerably less than an enthusiastic welcoming committee. Anti-immigrant and specifically anti-Irish sentiment ran high in some areas of the United States, particularly among a splinter political group called the "Know-Nothings." (The name came from their standard response when questioned about the membership or activities of their secretive political party.) One by-product of this blatant hostility was, ironically, the solidification of the unique identity of the Irish-American community. Pushed together in the slums of mid-19th century cities like New York and Boston, the Irish responded by welding together a new political identity and working towards acceptance through the development of political power. At the same time, the majority of the "average" Irish-Americans stuck in the cities tried to blend in with American society in other ways.
One obvious route to cultural assimilation is imitation. In the mid-1850s, one of the most curious trends to sweep America was the "Rage Militaire." This was a civilian fascination with all things military. The Rage manifested itself in ladies' fashions and social titles, but most especially in the veritable horde of social-club-turned-militia-unit organizations that sprang up across the country. In New York and Philadelphia, from Cleveland to Boston, men joined these "militia" units not with the expectation of true military service, but for the camaraderie and pageantry. They equipped themselves in the finest uniforms (of their own design) with the best rifles, muskets and bayonets, and practiced week in and week out on the fancy "evolutions" (formations and movements) of the tactics of that day.
The best of these units, some having as many as a thousand men, actually went on multi-city tours displaying their ability to march and parade in intricate formations. Drill and ceremony competitions between these units took place in giant jamborees that brought together thousands of men to march and compete for bragging rights. When visiting dignitaries arrived on American soil and a parade was required, the various state militias stepped up to fill the gap left by the fact that there really wasn't much of a "regular" army in the nation.

For more than a year now, I've been writing about the downtown baseball memorial dedicated to Jake Beckley.
Call me an advocate, call me a guy using the power of my industry to get the word out.
But what I'm doing isn't much compared to what happened back in 1971 when Beckley was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the late Jerry Stone had an idea.
You see, Jerry was the initiator. Jerry was the one who said, hey we need a monument to honor Jake Beckley.
"He did a lot of donations," friend Jay Draudt remembers. "He was the main guy. He got donations from the Cardinals, things like that."
"Huge baseball fan, anything with a ball in it he loved," Stone's daughter, Phyllis Murphy added. "Huge Cardinal fan. I remember he was really excited about it, and really had fun doing it — did a lot of fundraising for it and stuff like that."
Plans are in place through Hannibal Parks and Recreation to refurbish the memorial site. Once everything is set into place a beautified memorial will be a permanent fixture. In 2001, former Parks and Rec Director Bill Lankford said he wanted to plan a rededication ceremony for the memorial in 2001 — after George Pace, former state representative, brought the memorial's site and its poor condition to the city council. It never happened. That's why, as the site and new memorial get a face-lift, now is the time for a long overdue public acknowledgement of Hannibal's Hall of Famer.
Jerry didn't have any ground work, nothing to feed off of. Because of his efforts, a spot on Hannibal's Main Street is forever dedicated to a baseball legend. Jerry got a Jake Beckley Baseball Memorial Committee established, which included former Courier-Post Sports Editor Ed O'Neill, to help make the memorial a reality. Roy Brosi, owner of the Hannibal Monument Co., built and donated the stone.
"(Jerry Stone) maintained it while he was alive," Murphy said. "He'd go down there and pick up the cups people threw around there and everything."
"He took care of that down there for a long time because the city didn't do it," Draudt adds. "He would go down there and clean it all the time."
Draudt would also lend a hand when Jerry's health didn't allow him to clean.
It was Aug. 11, 1971, the same week Beckley was inducted into the Hall of Fame, that the Beckley Memorial was unveiled. Former Cardinals outfielder Terry Moore was an honored guest along with Jack Graney from Bowling Green who played for the Cleveland Indians.
There was a large crowd for the festivities and four decades later, there needs to be another.
It is time for Hannibal to come together and celebrate our game, celebrate our legend, celebrate our place in history. The upcoming refurbishment of the site will do allow us as a community to do so, and I know Jerry, Jake and all who made sure that our baseball legend had a place on Main Street, will be there in spirit.
