A day after winning the three-week battle to take their brain-dead daughter from Children's Hospital Oakland, the family of Jahi McMath conceded Monday they are losing the ghastly war against nature.
Her body, checked in at an undisclosed care facility Monday morning, has deteriorated so badly, that "Right now, we don't know if she's going to make it," said attorney Christopher Dolan.
"She's in very bad shape," he said. "What I can tell you is that those examinations show that her medical condition, separate from the brain issue, is not good."
Dolan's frank and sober assessment echoes a Friday legal declaration by Children's Hospital Oakland critical care pediatrician Dr. Heidi R. Flori, who opposed surgical insertion of a feeding tube because the girl's body was deteriorating.
Brain-dead for 25 days, Jahi has been sustained under court order with a breathing machine and other medical interventions since complications arose after surgery to remove her tonsils and other tissue.
Until Monday, she had gone without nourishment because the hospital had diagnosed her as legally and medically dead. Dolan said Monday that Jahi is now receiving potassium, minerals and hormones through an IV, in addition to antibiotics.
But even the best medical tools cannot replace the brain's role in regulating the critical balance of essential hormones, immunity and other chemicals, said Dr. Neal E. Slatkin, a neurologist and chief medical officer at San Jose's Hospice Of The Valley.
"The brain controls pretty much everything in the body," Slatkin said. "Without it, everything begins to break down."
A 2000 study by Harvard transplant surgeons, who closely examined donated organs after death, details the changes that occur after brain death, ranging from heart failure to diabetes.
"The insult" of brain death "evokes profound physiological and structural derangements in the peripheral organs," concluded Dr. Martin Gasser and his team in an Annals of Transplantation paper. Blood and other infections are likely, they wrote.
What happened to Jahi -- unlike the highly publicized cases involving coma patients Terri Schiavo and Karen Ann Quinlan, who each lingered for more than a decade -- was more than damage to the intellectual and emotional part of her brain, filled with mystery and memories and thoughts.
She has also lost the far more fundamental part of her brain, the brain stem, which plays a primal role in day-to-day health, regulating the interplay of the heart, lungs and other organs.
Both Schiavo and Quinlan had intact brain stems that maintained their physical being. Jahi does not.
There are two major ways that Jahi's brain death -- likely caused by catastrophic bleeding, brain swelling and heart attack, based on family reports -- damages the organs, according to Slatkin and other physicians.
One is the trauma of the initial injury, called a "sympathetic storm," which triggers a massive stress response -- flooding the bloodstream with chemicals and likely damaging the hypothalamus, a small area at the top of the brain stem that regulates body temperature, appetite and the release of many important hormones.
The other is the cascade of later complications, like when a computer crashes. Cellular metabolism goes haywire. So do cardiac and lung function. There is often severe hypertension and imbalances of important regulatory hormones.
Even heroic efforts to sustain her, such as a ventilator, can backfire, said Slatkin.
"You're applying abnormal pressure to keep the lungs open and functioning, which creates small tears in the lining of the air sacs and bronchial tree, opening up the possibility of infection."
Every cell in the body is programmed to die, he noted. But the assault of stress hormones, immune dysfunction and massive inflammation accelerates death, he said.
In her court declaration, Children's Hospital Oakland pediatrician Flori laid out the clear indications that Jahi's body was deteriorating. The tissues under her skin were losing their elasticity, and her muscles were contracting. Her blood pressure spiked but was gradually declining. Blankets were needed to maintain a constant temperature.
"This deterioration became inevitable the moment she died," Flori said. "Additional and more dramatic signs of the body's deterioration will continue to manifest over time, regardless of any procedures and regardless of any heroic measures that any facility might attempt."
There's no good data to suggest how long her heart will keep beating. In two other cases involving brain-dead but otherwise healthy young women -- 34-year-old Stacy Rojas, of Dallas, and Christine Bolden, 26, of Detroit -- their bodies were successfully supported for a month, until their babies were born.
To support the body that they fought so hard to save, Jahi's family has authorized some nutritional support, including potassium, minerals and hormones. She's also getting antibiotics to combat a possible infection.
But she's not receiving regular feedings due to physical problems that do not allow surgical insertion of a feeding tube, Dolan said. He would not disclose what those issues were but said Jahi was being examined by medical staff at the new facility. He would not disclose its name.
Alameda County Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson said that while he does not know where Jahi was relocated, it was his understanding that she was taken out of the state. Nelson noted that the autopsy will be required to complete the existing death certificate, and added that Jahi's cause of death will be more difficult to determine the longer her body is kept on a ventilator.
Relieved that she is now "safely where she needs to be," Jahi's family believes she is still alive, uncle Omari Sealey said Monday.
"We're not going to play God," he said. "If her heart stops beating while she's hooked to the ventilator, we can accept that."

After upgrading the PS3's firmware to 2.60, all of (HD) WMV files suddenly show as incompatible data. I am able to watch them through a transcode but that is not the way I would like to go seeming the PS3 supports the format natively, at least it did before 2.60. Nothing else was changed the day that it happened except for the FW upgrade. So is it possible the FW has broken WMV playback? I am wondering if more people experience the same issues.
I read through the forum and found a post that had the same problem but with MKV instead. So I did what was suggested in that Thread; Changing the Port to another port. Unfortunately the problem still remains though. So does anyone have a possible solution? It is to bad that it has to affect WMV since my HD collection are mostly WMV files and a few MKVs.

Woman reports chasing burglars away from her home
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:36 p.m.
A Woodruff woman reported that burglars fled after she arrived home and fired shots.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office reported the incident happened around noon Thursday at a house on Casey Road. The woman said she arrived home to find a door open and heard someone curse after she went inside, according to an incident report.
The woman saw someone in a bedroom, got a pistol, and fired a shot as a male escaped through a window, the report states. The woman told deputies the suspect was not struck and she fired two more shots as two people ran from her house into the woods.
Deputies tried to track the suspects with a police dog, but they were not found.
A handgun and blanket were recovered from outside the back window, but the victim reported several pieces of jewelry, a camera, $80 and medications missing.

Since the mid-1900s, plasma cutting has become a very popular and effective style cutting. Plasma cutting is effective because it results in a cleaner and faster cutting process. The Plasma system's power supply comes from converting AC voltage into a more constant DC voltage. The DC voltage keeps the plasma arc throughout the cutting process. The spark produced inside the plasma torch that makes the plasma arc comes from the "Arc Starting Console." This Arc Starting Console creates the AC voltage to produce the spark. The cooling of the consumables and proper alignment comes from the plasma torch. The plasma torch gives you the precise cut needed for the job.
Plasma Cutting can be performed on stainless steel, mild steel or aluminum. Plasma cutting skips the oxidation process, thus allowing an easy cut through conductive materials. Plasma cutting is convenient because it does not require compressed oxygen and fuel gas. Plasma cutting is great for the weekend warriors as it is a faster and efficient cutting process.
Plasma Cutting can be used to cut steel, preferably thin material. It can be used with heavy or regular industrial applications. Many plasma cutters are used on construction sites and with small parts fabrication.
Welding Supplies from IOC carries wide variety of brand-name plasma cutters. Choose from Miller, Lincoln and Thermal Dynamics to find a plasma cutter to fit your cutting job. With Welding Supplies from IOC's wide selection of plasma cutters, you will find only the very best, highest-quality plasma cutter to give you the most precise cut every time.

In this undated photo provided by Alla Scala theater press office, Tomas Tomasson, left, who plays Friedrich von Telramund, and Evelyn Herlitzius, playing Ortrud, perform during rehearsals of Richard Wagner's Lohengrin at the Milan La Scala opera house, Italy. The dual bicentennial of the births of composers Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner is turning into a dueling bicentennial. La Scala general manager Stephane Lissner on Monday, Dec. 3, 2012 dismissed as "ridiculous" criticism by the Italian media because the famed Milan opera house that was once Verdi's musical home is opening the celebratory season with Wagner's "Lohengrin." No less than Italy's respected President Giorgio Napolitano entered the fray. He wrote a letter to musical director Daniel Barenboim rejecting press rumors that he was snubbing the gala season opener on Friday. (AP Photo/Monika Rittershaus, La Scala)

Old English hnutu, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch noot and German Nuss.
The Old English word nut is related to the Latin nux, also meaning 'nut', and to nucleus. The informal meanings 'crazy or eccentric person' and 'person who is excessively interested in a particular thing', both date from the early 20th century. They probably come from the informal sense 'a person's head'. This latter sense is the one behind phrases such as do your nut, or get very cross, and is the root of nutty meaning 'mad or crazy'. It is also the source of the verb 'to nut', or butt with the head, which is first found in the 1930s. See also fruit. A nutshell has been used since the late 16th century to symbolize compactness or shortness. Shakespeare's Hamlet says, 'I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.' The idea is thought to have come from the supposed existence of a copy of Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, which was small enough to fit into an actual nutshell, mentioned by the Roman scholar Pliny ( ad 23–79) in his Natural History.

Mark Davis is looking for a sign, an omen, a hint -- just about anything he can take as a potential turning point in the Raiders' urgent search for a new stadium.
He has been waiting a long time. He has gotten frustrated; he has taken a look at several alternate sites, including one in Concord not long ago.
But in a phone conversation Wednesday night, the Raiders owner sounded as optimistic as I've ever heard him -- about his football team's progress on the field this season and mostly about Oakland's humongous Coliseum City idea.
On Tuesday, the Oakland City Council approved the addition of several major potential investors in the project, which was cheered by Raiders fans on hand.
And definitely by the Raiders owner, to me Wednesday.
"I want to see what happens from here, but maybe it's a ray of hope and sunshine," Davis said.
"That was a positive step last night."
Davis said he doesn't want to negotiate any stadium project deal in the newspaper and knows there are many, many hurdles to any project -- especially one as grand as the three-team Coliseum City idea.
And he said he'll know a lot more in the coming weeks.
But I took four clear thoughts away from my talk with Davis:
1) Though he toured the Concord land, Davis is emotionally and practically tethered to the Coliseum site.
"I looked at it," Davis said of his recent visit to the decommissioned Concord Naval Weapons Station. "It's there. It's a possibility. But I absolutely love the site we're on now.
"If in fact we get something done in the Bay Area, I think it's going to be on that (Coliseum) site. That's what I'm pushing for."
For similar reasons, Davis bypassed a chance to share the 49ers' new Santa Clara stadium. If the Raiders stay in the Bay Area, Davis wants them on the Coliseum site.
2) The Raiders' most recent lease extension with the Coliseum expires after this season, and Davis wants any new extension to include tangible steps toward a Coliseum rebuild/redo.
3) It's probable that Davis will conclude that the Coliseum City idea is the last real shot at his preferred site, and he likes that they've brought in some new financial movers and shakers.
"The Coliseum City concept is a great concept," Davis said. "It's got a lot of moving parts.
"But with a couple of the people they've brought in, they have some momentum to it."
On Tuesday, the City Council approved new potential investors -- led by Dubai-based financier Rashid Al Malik -- and extended the group's exclusive negotiating period on the project.
Of course, the Coliseum City idea includes proposed new buildings for the A's and Warriors, too -- and both teams have announced desires to build new stadiums outside of Oakland.
That is an enormous complication.
I have no idea if the Coliseum City idea could be reduced to simply a new stadium for the Raiders, I don't know if the money is there for any of it, and I don't think Davis knows, either.
4) My conclusion: This is essentially the last go at this for Davis in the Bay Area.
If the Coliseum City idea doesn't work, then the likeliest scenario is for Davis to sign some sort of short extension with the Coliseum and then take a hard look moving back to Los Angeles.
Or to seek out major new team investors to either figure out another Bay Area solution or move the team wherever it can get the best deal.
That would change the shape of the Raiders ownership -- and it might not be avoidable, unless the Coliseum City project becomes a viable option, in some form.
Until then, Davis is looking and waiting. And obviously the clock is ticking.
Davis said someone asked him to check the Concord site, and Davis said he liked a lot of it -- especially the BART access -- and was struck by the attitude of the officials in charge.
It's just not where he expects or wants to end up.
"Concord was a suggestion by somebody, that I should take a look, so I took a look at it," Davis said.
"It wasn't a leverage thing -- don't do that kind of stuff. It was to gather information ...
"We've got to get something done, we really do. And we will."
Which leads everything back to the Coliseum City idea, maybe Davis' last tangible Bay Area option on the table, and the first ray of light in awhile.

Hi Everyone.
I am 200+ lbs and am starting the C25K. I wanted to start today, but my key to the gym at our apartment complex wasn't working. I contemplated starting outside, but I am incredibly self-conscious about what people would think if they saw me running, or attempting to run. I am horribly out of shape and have always envied people who run. I would love to be able to run and to WANT to run. I am looking forward to having a day when I can just go on a nice long run and clear my head and have a healthier body. Of course losing weight would be an added bonus. (I'm also changing what I eat).
I'm hoping to find support and ideas here. Looking forward to getting involved.
Hi there! I just found this site tonight after trying to search for some training ideas to help me with the 1/2 marathon I'm doing in March. I finished my first one in Oct in 3:56 but had not done much to prepare for it.
I, too am also overweight but I really didn't care about people looking at me--I did the race for myself :-) But I do share your fears just running around my neighborhood, as the last time I ran on one of our busier streets, I got a couple of honkers that weren't very nice :-(
I've been working on my endurance with my trainer at the gym but won't see him for a cpl more weeks (depending on my financial status) but don't run very far at a time. I need to get back out there--I shamefully haven't tried to run since my 1/2 marathon.
Good luck with getting going. I'm starting something on Monday--maybe in the morning if I can get up & going before church.
Take care, maybe we can cheer eachother on!
Hey ladies!
I just hopped here tonight for the first time and am in the same boat. Looking to do a 10K to a half marathon somewhere in the next six months, lose some LBs and generally get more healthy. I am not a runner by nature, much happier with pretty much any other form of exercise but its a challenge that I've wanted to tackle for a long long time. I am down for joining the cheering squad too!
I'm a pretty big person, and I have run a few competitive races so far. I did C25K and ren my first in late November. I train just around my neighborhood, on the asphalt and sidewalks. I am gearing up for a HM March 7th. Honestly, I don't especuially care what people think about me running. I am running for me while their lazy butts are in the car or whatever. Also, I think it's best to train on the same surfaces you'll be running on in your race - asphalt and concrete. In my experience, going from Treadmill to real roads is a bit of a change, and a challenge.

Congrats on starting on the path to a healthier life! I just started running this past year - at well over 300 pounds. I thought running was something I would never be able to accomplish and the thought of running even one mile, just impossible. It was for those skinny, fit people. lol.
I didn't want anyone to see me run either, so I started running in a local cemetary - not a lot of traffic but well maintained roads. Once I got a bit more confidence, I started running out on the country roads near my house. I am a fairly slow, steady runner and I no longer care what other people think - at least I'm out there exercising while they are still on their couches.
But I have found that for the most part, runners are a really supportive group of people. I ran my first 5K this fall (at 280lbs) and I felt great afterwards. Since then I've run a bunch more 5ks and even a 10k. Yeah, I'm still slow and I finish toward the end if not dead last at times, but I'm a heck of a lot faster than I was last year - and I know that I'll only improve the more I do this. I just keep telling myself that the last person to cross the finish line is still ahead of those that didn't finish at all and a hell of a lot further ahead of those that didn't bother to start.
I've gone from hating the idea of running to looking forward to bigger and better races - I'm even planning a half and a full marathon this year. Me! The person that couldn't even run a couple hundred feet 6 months ago. So you better watch out...this running thing could be addictive.
First of all GOOD FOR YOU to start. Who cares what others think. Truthfully if I see a plus size person, I think you go! I have come down below the 200 mark with alot of persistence and self talk. I'm doing it. You are not. Whos the better for it? Keep it going no matter what. There will be lots of set backs. Sign up for short races to get used to it and remember You started it AND finished. How many people in those cars never even started. Best of luck to you.
Hi everyone. First of all, Congrats on getting started on your journey to get in shape. I did the same thing last year around this time. I was 48 years old and 240 pounds. I joined a local charity group that had a training program for couch to 5K. I NEVER ran in high school or college or anything. So, it was huge leap of faith for me to even try. I didn't know anyone in my local town but got out there anyway. We started training doing walking and alternating running. The Jeff Galloway method of running is best for folks who are just getting into running. And its a great training program for people who are over weight and could be prone to injury. I had tried running at the age of 42 and did it all wrong and ended up getting a stress fracture. So, last January I got a Wii Fit and just started with that until the Couch to 5K program started up in February. The program I was in had two coaches who worked with all of us and we in turn had to raise $1,000 each for the charity. Believe it or not, 8 months later, I ran my first half marathon and a month after a full marathon...the Marine Corps Marathon in D.C. I'm still overweight but have lost 35 pounds and am continuing to run. I have several races planned for this next season. Don't be embarrassed about your size...most runners are just thrilled to have folks get out there. You may run into a few mean people here and there but who cares? It will be difficult and you'll feel like you want to quit but just start out walking and alternate with running. Do one minute of walking and one minute of running, alternating back and forth for at least 20 minutes 3 times a week. Up the running ratio each week by one minute and you'll be able to go longer and will deifnitely lose weight over time. I'm not ever a winner when I run and many times I'm dead last or close to it. But honestly I don't care, because I've come so far and you WILL too! Get out there and do it. Be proud of yourself for having the nerve to try.
I'm so proud of you for taking the step to start! That is a hard one.
I don't even know how many times I started the C25K program...and how long I stalled out on Week 1. My only advice is don't give up! I started the program in August around 210. The weight hasn't dropped off like I'd hoped (I was at a steady decline until the holidays), but I really think maintaining my running schedule kept me from doing more damage than I did during the holidays.
I ran my first 5K in November and am training for a half-marathon. Maybe March maybe April...depending on when my niece is born.
And as far as location? I always run outside. I run in our neighborhood, which really doesn't have a lot of traffic. And not a lot of people are out this time of year. When I first started, I ran after dark and that helped me get over my self-consciousness. It helps that my body hates running on the treadmill. It is really hard on my hips for some reason.
Good luck! Stick with it! You can do this!
Began C25K so many times...Finally graduated October 2nd, 2009.
4 half marathons done, training for 2 fall half-marathons in the fall
Eventual goal: OBX Marathon, November 2012

Hi there,
Congratulations for getting out there are starting to run! I am also 200+ (started at 289 in April 2009 and am currently 227), and starting running in September with the C25K program. The first couple of weeks are tough, but please keep going!! When I started, I was completely awful, and had trouble running at all, even for the 60 second increments. Now, I run at least 2 miles three times a week, and a longer run on the weekends (over 3 miles). If you told me in September that I'd be doing that, I would have laughed out loud, but here I am, running through my neighborhood at all hours of the day/night. Not every run is great, but if you stick with it, you will start to feel better, and run longer, I promise. Just keep to a pace your body can manage, and you'll succeed.
With respect to feeling self conscious outside, if you can, run at times where is quiet in your neighborhood. It's so peaceful to get out in the morning or during dinner time and just run in the quiet. You can also use an ipod (but always be safe) and that will drown out any negative vibes you may get while you are out there. Also, the people who you also see running, know where you are coming from, and appreciate the work that involved in achieving a goal (they have goals themselves that they are working towards). I've actually had other runners, total strangers, tell me that I'm doing great, and not to stop. The point is, you are running, you are getting fit, you will feel better, you will be healthier, you are doing this for yourself, and you can do this.
Good luck on your journey. You will find that there are a lot of people on these boards that are in or have been in the same boat as you. Turn to them for inspiration and advice along the way!
Hi, I'm so glad you posted this, I'm looking for some support, and talking posting with others like me, which I didn't think I'd find. I was reading a response to you by Turtle Who Runs, and that gave me the courage to respond, because I am where she was when she began, and I find encouragement in that. I'll be doing the C25K from a gym we have here in Houston called 24hr fitness, because I can go there early in the morning before work, and not that many people are there, so I won't feel sooo self-concious. I'm not liking where I am now, and I'm pretty much disappointed in myself, more depressed than anything, and I just know if I were to get moving I'd feel better, in my mind, if nowhere else. I just know it. So, I'll be starting first thing in the morning, before 5am, which has more to do with not being seen by anyone,even though I don't know those people, than by a motivation to start early. Heck, you know what, that's right I don't know those people! What can they do to me???? LOLLLLL
i too will be starting the C25K tomorrow, monday. i am very excited! i need this in my life. my sister is a marathon runner and i have mentioned to her that i'm going to be self-conscious about running outdoors. she asked me-" what is the thought that goes through your mind when you see someone of any size running/jogging down the road?" i told her, " wow, i wish i could do that." she is absolutely right! good for us for wanting to become runners!!! everyone keep up the good work!
Started C25K Dec.28th- starting weight: 227
Weight lost as of 2/13/10: 17 pounds!!
The good thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.- Abraham Lincoln
First 5K ever is: Lake Erie Poker Run 5K April 17, 2010
I know the feeling Sara, I too "wish I could do that"....maybe, I can.....just maybe.
At the very least, I can try.
Hello all....I wanted to drop a quick note to say congrats to all of your for having the courage to take such a big step. The journey your embarking on will be one of not only getting fit and losing weight but of self discovery. I started running in July 2008 to help my son gain some fitness for a karate test and I never stopped. I've completed a number of 5K's, a 10K and one HM and am starting to officially train for my second next week. Other than the weight loss (which has been pretty significant...I went from an 18/20 to a 10 and am still losing) I've discovered parts of me that I never knew existed. Thjings like determination, drive, endurance, mind/body connections. There will be ups and down, great runs and terrible ones...don't give up....its a lifestyle you're taking on not a diet or an exercise program...embrace it and enjoy the ride...I hope you find as much pleasure and fulfillment in running as I have.
WOW! Thank you everyone for the responses and the encouragement. That is exactly what I need! I was sitting here on the couch (ironic I know) thinking that I would hold off until Jan. 1st to start the C25K. And I realized that I've already pushed it off twice. ( I was supposed to start yesterday, but didn't because I didn't have a key to the gym, and decided today I was going to take a real day off and do nothing... something I haven't done in months, is just relax). But I am going to do it tomorrow. I am going to try the first work out.
I'm not going to lie, I am incredibly nervous. I bought myself a new scale for Christmas. A complete body analyzer. I am heavier than what I thought. I am 280. With 53% Body Fat.
Can I really do this at this weight/fat percentage/size?
I'm so nervous.
I am inspired by those of you who are/were 200+ and did it though. I am so glad I found this forum.
Yeah, ,I think you can at your weight, I think we both can.....I think we can at least try. I'll be at it in the morning, packing my bag, and off to the gym. I don't care much for showering and changing at the gym but hey....I've got to start somewhere.
The good thing is I won't be outside, and I can go early to the gym....I'll just have to take it where I can.
No matter my weight, I'm not out to win it, just to get started at this point, and I've used excuses for it long enough, more than long enough....I've been tooling around on this website, and reading other articles, and other forums, discussions, and it seems that no matter the size, weight, athleticism, (sp), we are all worrying or thinking about something....so why not just carry that along and do it anyway.....and if I/we don't make it to where we think we should be, how about just redoing the plan, and keep going from where we are. I looked ahead on the C25K plan and read week 5, and thought to myself "no friggin way", but hey, I'm not on week 5....I haven't even gotten to week one, day one, yet.....so how bout I just start where I am....LOLLLLL
I just heard a rumor about myself.....a "friend" called me up to tell me what he'd heard about me that is soooo untrue. But you know what, I don't think that's anything compared to the self-talk I have going on in my head. The things I tell myself that are sooo untrue.
I think I'll just deal with me first.....and start this journey.

The Los Medanos College football team outlasted host Contra Costa 33-26 on Saturday, as the Mustangs, Comets and Shasta all finished Bay Valley Conference play with 4-1 records.
Saturday's contest featured two of Northern California's top running community college backs in Contra Costa's Devonte Sapp-Lynch and Los Medanos' Shawn Vasquez. It was Vasquez, though. who powered his team to the victory with 231 yards and two touchdowns along the ground. Sapp-Lynch who finished with 153 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
Teams throughout the state will find out Sunday if it landed a bowl bid. Both Contra Costa and Los Medanos appear to have excellent cases to be included in a postseason game.
At halftime, Contra Costa (7-3, 4-1 BVC) held a 13-12 lead. Sapp-Lynch had a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and in the second quarter, quarterback Malik Watson directed a 10-play, 80-yard drive with Watson sneaking in for a one-yard touchdown run.
The Mustangs (7-3, 4-1) responded with 1:13 left in the third quarter when quarterback Adam Nesheim directed his own 10-play, 64-yard drive with Nesheim running in his own 1-yard touchdown run to help his team take a 20-13 lead at the end of the third quarter.
Los Medanos added more points on its next possession in the fourth quarter as Nesheim found receiver Jermaine Sims on a slant for a 12-yard touchdown pass to put the Mustangs ahead 26-13.
The Comets responded on their next possession as Sapp-Lynch jumped over his offensive line into the end zone on a two-yard halfback dive as Contra Costa narrowed the gap to 26-20.
But Los Medanos' Jamal Lockett, on the ensuing kickoff, cut from the right sideline back to the middle of the field for an 84-yard touchdown that all but sealed the victory.
The Comets' Watson found receiver Anthony Stewart over the middle for a 7-yard touchdown catch with the Mustangs still holding a 33-26 lead.
The strong run game of Los Medanos worked well as it was able to game manage the clock and walk away with a victory.
"Our offense has played well all year," Mustangs coach Chris Shipe said. "But our defense played better than our offense today."
Chabot 47, Reedley 6: The host Gladiators (7-3) scored 21 points in the second quarter and held a 27-point lead at halftime as they blew out Reedley (1-9) to clinch the Golden Gate Conference championship.
The Gladiators' offense was led by quarterback Zach Lujan, who threw for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Another noteworthy performance from the offense was wideout Stefon Martin, whose 44-yard touchdown early in the second quarter proved to be key in Chabot's monster second quarter.
Special teams also made some contributions for Chabot as two blocked punts were returned for scores by freshman Elvis Trujillo.
Chabot's next game will be announced when CCCAA announces the state bowls for the 2013 season.

MARIETTA - When Whipple resident Rebecca Johnson boarded the Carnival Triumph on Feb. 7, she was expecting a fun-filled four-day cruise but what she got was an experience she won't soon forget.
The Carnival Triumph suffered an engine fire the morning of Feb. 10 and was stranded at sea for nearly four days. The ship, which was carrying 4,200 people eventually arrived late on Thursday in Mobile, Ala., after being pulled by tugboats, according to The Associated Press.
Johnson, 39, the assistant principal of Barlow-Vincent Elementary School, was on the cruise with her friend Wendy Bailey, of Houston, Texas.
"We were jolted awake at about 5:30 a.m. after hearing an announcement about the engine room over the PA system," she said. "So I got up and put on jeans, shoes and a jacket and got my things gathered so if we needed to go to the muster stations I'd be ready."
Passengers aboard the ship would not need to evacuate, but many would be required to relocate due to deteriorating conditions on some of the lower decks.
"The people on decks '0' and '1' had to leave due to the smoke and water," said Johnson. "People kept their life jackets on the majority of the day and people were anxious to find out what was happening, but no one really panicked."
Many of those who had to relocate were forced to make shelter with whatever they had available.
Makeshift tents were erected all over the top deck and many people formed groups for pooling resources, according to Johnson.
With the ship without water for most of the first day and no working restrooms, conditions weren't luxurious. Passengers were instructed to use the showers and bags provided to go to the bathroom.
Eventually the ship's crew was able to restore both sewage and water capabilities, but sanitary problems still arose for passengers.
"Since we were floating we were listed a bit, so any toilet or shower that was full or clogged would spill on the floor," said Johnson. "By the end of the trip there was no dry carpet, so you kept your shoes on all the time."
For passengers unfortunate enough to be on a lower deck or an enclosed cabin the smell quickly became a problem.
Johnson was lucky enough to be located on deck 6 and had a balcony, so she received plenty of fresh air.
"We tried to keep our door open so the room across from us could have fresh air and get some light," she said. "Overall I think passenger morale was pretty good. Everyone did their best to respect other people."
The hot and humid weather didn't make things easy for the passengers though, especially on the lower decks.
"It was in the 80s and humid in the rooms and as you went farther down the ship the heat seemed to be a little worse," said Johnson. "Many people tried to get out on the main deck as much as they could to avoid the heat."
Unfortunately for those that were camped outside on the main deck a rain shower cooled things off significantly on Wednesday.
"After it rained it was around 50 degrees and windy so we went from one extreme to the next," said Johnson. "After it cooled off it was more comfortable for people to be in their rooms than on the deck."
Johnson did admit that as time went on some passengers did become rather restless with the situation.
"I think the last day specifically was hard for most people," she said. "We all just were anxious to get off the boat. People started getting tired of being around each other."
It wasn't the smell or the food that was hardest for Johnson to deal with on the trip, but rather the extended time away from home.
"I'm a glass half full kinda person, but the hardest thing for me was trying to sleep," she said. "Not being home was very difficult, I also knew that I was missing important meetings at work and that my co-workers had to pick up my work."
Johnson's husband Randy Burnworth, 61, said he wasn't too worried about her safety because he was informed of the situation pretty regularly.
"The cruise line called and gave updates on where they were and what was going on fairly often," he said. "I also talked with Rebecca when she had cell signal on the ship. At least for her it didn't seem like it was an awful experience."
The crew was especially helpful at making the most of the unfortunate situation, according to Johnson.
"The staff was phenomenal, our steward helped us clean sewage, disinfect items, and was available through the whole thing," she said. "The entire staff, no matter what their job title, was pitched in to help with the essentials."
There was really no problem with a food shortage as food lines were available 24 hours a day, according to Johnson.
"The first day they had three types of cold sandwiches, cereal in boxes, fruit, water and unlimited sodas," said Johnson. "The next day they had generator power to one grill so we were able to wait in line for hot dogs and hamburgers."
The food lines were an issue for some passengers, with some waiting for hours before they were able to receive a hot meal. As power was restored and supplies were brought to the ship more selections were made available to the passengers.
Supplies were transfered to the ship from other vessels and helicopter care packages that were dropped off onto the main deck.
"As they brought in more supplies they were able to make eggs, sausage and bacon," said Johnson. "On the last day I even had steak, lobster and salad for lunch."
The real treat for passengers was pulling into the harbor and knowing dry land would be beneath their feet before long.
"When we pulled into Mobile, people were stopped along the roads cheering at us," said Johnson. "People were crying, hugging family members, cheering and whistling because we were all so elated to be going home."
She admitted when she arrived in Columbus and saw her mother she was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Even though I never feared for my life it was just such a relief to be back home," Johnson said.
Carnival Cruise Lines offered passengers a full refund of the cruise and transportation expenses and $500 per person, according to Johnson.
Johnson said she views this cruise as a unique learning experience for her future trips, which will be occurring sooner rather than later.
"I actually have a cruise planned in July to go to Alaska," said Johnson. "I'll definitely be more prepared for my future cruises because of this experience, though."

The setting was different. The sport was different. The two teams won't be playing again. Yet, the similarities largely outnumbered the differences. One side felt joy. One side felt heartbreak. One team won. One team lost.
Six days before Navy and Notre Dame do battle in the Emerald Isle Classic, Cork and Donegal clashed in a completely different sport in Dublin. Instead of welcoming an international audience, Cork and Donegal celebrated Irish sport with the semi final of the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championship. Despite the fact that neither sets of teams likely had any notion about the others' sports, there were unmissable aspects of the Irish sporting event that will be on show this weekend in the nation's capital.
Gaelic Football and American Football aren't as dissimilar as one would immediately think. In case you don't know, Gaelic Football is somewhat of a variation on soccer while American Football is much closer to rugby. The size of the pitch, the rules, the skill-sets of the players and even the venues are completely different. However what Donegal brought to Croke Park in their victory over Cork on Sunday, is exactly what Navy and Notre Dame will be looking to bring this coming Saturday.
Certain aspects of team sports transcend any genres or particular boundaries.
On Sunday, Donegal approached their Gaelic Football game, in the way every single American Football coach wants his team to approach their games. Leading up to Sunday, there was very little evidence that said Donegal had more talented players. Cork carried sharpshooter forwards with bloated reputations and a mean group of defenders with as much experience as any other. Donegal? They had one or two players known nationally, but were predominantly relying on their work-rate as a team to carry them to victory.
Not only did that work-rate win out, but convincingly so.
Donegal entered the game with a precise gameplan that was executed to perfection. Their scheme frustrated Cork, while their talented players complemented each other excellently. Donegal's weakest link couldn't be pointed to, while Cork's chain to success had wide gaps that were being exposed. When it comes to American Football, that is essentially the game.
So even though the shape of the pitch, the ball and the players was completely different, Donegal's victory was a fitting build-up for the big game this Saturday. Gaelic Football, and its partner sport Hurling, is a national sport in Ireland known for its passion and pride. Pride and passion is what fuels the game of college football in America. Much like the divisions between counties in Ireland, each member or alum of each college in America proudly wears their respective crest on gamedays.
It is those similarities to European sports that will make this game a showcase for an International audience that is either ignorant of the game or currently uninterested. Because of upgraded coverage of both the professional and college levels of the sport on this side of the world, the fanbase of American Football in Ireland has been swelling in recent seasons. Over 15,000 tickets, the remaining part of the 50,000 capacity in the Aviva Stadium after the American allocation was sold out, were quickly snatched up by fans while many more continue to try and find ways into the game.
For those fans who can't make it to the game, a series of high school teams will participate in a Global Ireland Football Tournament that is designed to celebrate the game across the country while promoting it at the same time. While many ardent fans of other sports will turn their noses on principle, those who are passionate about sports opposed to just a single sport, should be enthralled by the examples shown by both the college and high school teams.
You see this game is much more than the season opener for Notre Dame and Navy. It's much more than just another NCAA Football game. It's even much more significant than a trip to remember for the fanbases traveling over the Atlantic. As the second game of football between these two teams to be held in Ireland, the first coming in 1996, every onlooking football fan in America will be trying to accurately judge the reception the game receives.
Much like the beta test of a new product, NCAA President Mark Emmert will be watching on to judge whether further ventures across the world would be a worthwhile exploration for future football games. It's not just the NCAA however. You can be certain that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will be keeping a close eye on proceedings. Goodell has already established one International Series each year in London, but is believed to be looking to expand to other stadiums and add more games. Dublin has been touted as a potential next step with long-time NFL owner Dan Rooney being the American Ambassador for Ireland.

- Herhold: After six decades, the 'Cats Estate' in Los Gatos is being sold
- Cats Estate: Did C.E.S. Wood embellish Chief Joseph's words?
The guardians of the Cats Estate are the two white concrete cats at the entrance, which were cast by the sculptor Robert Paine in the early 1920s.
Aside from their artistic merit, the cats were arguably a bargain for the estate's owners. Paine had volunteered to work for the day wages of a mason.
Owner C.E.S. Wood later wrote that they had chosen cats not because of the nearness of Los Gatos ("cats'' in Spanish) -- but because "at all times and everywhere the cat has suggested itself as one of the most beautiful forms for sculpture."
That doesn't mean the two cats escaped vandalism, particularly at Halloween. It profoundly irked Wood and his partner, Sara Bard Field.
In her book, "Local Girl Makes History," Santa Cruz writer Dana Frank notes that at Halloween 1930, Wood found them painted in red and black, with the neck of one cat mutilated.
Frank reports that in 1947, three years after Wood's death, vandals poured red paint on one of the cats so that blood appeared to be coming from its mouth.
In a stance that was intriguing for an anarchist, Wood blamed the public for not protecting the cats. His anger might also have betrayed his sense of entitlement.
"We know it has never aroused any real protest -- any real interest -- any real action by the people of Santa Clara County, to whom really the cats were intended to belong," he thundered.

ABC on Tuesday unveiled a fall lineup that features six new shows and a time-slot change for "Scandal," its buzziest hit.
"Scandal" remains on Thursday nights, but moves from 10 to 9 p.m. to make way for another drama from Shonda Rhimes called "How to Get Away With Murder." The new show, starring Viola Davis as a law professor, is described as a "sexy, suspense-driven legal thriller."
With "Murder," Rhimes now becomes the queen of ABC's Thursday nights, which with "Grey's Anatomy," features an entire lineup of shows from the powerhouse producer.
Among the six new fall shows are four sitcoms, including "Black-ish," starring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross as a suburban couple trying to hold on to their African-American identity.
The other comedies are "Selfie," a modern-day update on "My Fair Lady," "Manhattan Love Story," a romantic comedy about a couple just starting to date, and "Cristela," starring Cristela Alonzo as an ambitious law student at odds with her highly traditional Mexican-American family.
ABC's other fall drama is "Forever," which has Ioan Gruffudd playing a coroner trying to solve the mystery of his own immortality.
Also of note: "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." moves back one hour to 9 p.m. on Tuesday nights. ABC's other Marvel show, "Agent Carter" with Hayley Atwell in the lead role, will be held for the winter.
Among the six other shows slated for midseason are "American Crime," which returns "Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman to the network. Set in Modesto, the show is a gritty drama about a deadly crime that rocks the community. Also set for midseason: "Secrets and Lies," which stars Ryan Phillipe as a murder suspect trying to prove his innocence.
Among the shows not returning next season are "Mixology," "The Neighbors," "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," Suburgatory," "Super Fun Night" and Trophy Wife."
Here's a look at ABC's fall lineup with new shows in CAPS:

This idea for crafty fun is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Enjoy crafting with your kids!
It seems as though my kids can never get enough block play. Whether it's experimenting with our favorite Melissa & Doug unit block set, or creating their own pretend worlds with the town block set, they can spend hours playing with blocks! For a fun twist on this classic play, I thought it would be fun to create a Winter wonderland for our little block town. It was a big hit around here!
To make a Winter wonderland of your own, you will need some blocks and some cotton stuffing/batting. Invite your child over to build the town however she likes. Next, it's time to add the snow!
My daughter loved pulling apart the soft cotton stuffing to add to her block town! At first, there were just tiny bits of snow on the roof of the town's grocery store.
But it didn't take long before an entire blizzard descended on the town! Even the firetruck had trouble driving through all that snow. The buses were forced to a grinding halt. Throughout the night, several snowstorms came through and dumped even more snow!
Thankfully, the snow can be gathered back up and placed in the basket easily — to be played with again and again, of course!
Have fun!!

Understanding Bone Fractures
Understanding Bone Fractures -- the Basics
What Are Fractures?
A fracture is the medical term for a broken bone.
Fractures are common; the average person has two during a lifetime. They occur when the physical force exerted on the bone is stronger than the bone itself.
Understanding Bone Fractures
Find out more about bone fractures:
Your risk of fracture depends, in part, on your age. Broken bones are very common in childhood, although children's fractures are generally less complicated than fractures in adults. As you age, your bones become more brittle and you are more likely to suffer fractures from falls that would not occur when you were young.
There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are displaced, non-displaced, open, and closed. Displaced and non-displaced fractures refer to the way the bone breaks.
In a displaced fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts and moves so that the two ends are not lined up straight. If the bone is in many pieces, it is called a comminuted fracture. In a non-displaced fracture, the bone cracks either part or all of the way through, but does move and maintains its proper alignment.
A closed fracture is when the bone breaks but there is no puncture or open wound in the skin. An open fracture is one in which the bone breaks through the skin; it may then recede back into the wound and not be visible through the skin. This is an important difference from a closed fracture because with an open fracture there is a risk of a deep bone infection.
Some fracture types are:
- A Greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture in which the bone is bent. This type occurs most often in children.
- A transverse fracture is when the broken piece of bone is at a right angle to the bone's axis.
- An oblique fracture is when the break has a curved or sloped pattern.
- A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces.
- A buckled fracture, also known as an impacted fracture, is one whose ends are driven into each other. This is commonly seen in arm fractures in children.
- A pathologic fracture is caused by a disease that weakens the bones.
- A stress fracture is a hairline crack.
The severity of a fracture depends upon its location and the damage done to the bone and tissue near it. Serious fractures can have dangerous complications if not treated promptly; possible complications include damage to blood vessels or nerves and infection of the bone (osteomyelitis) or surrounding tissue. Recuperation time varies depending on the age and health of the patient and the type of fracture. A minor fracture in a child may heal within a few weeks; a serious fracture in an older person may take months to heal.

Camp Sunny Patch Session 12 is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by Camp Counselor (and Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador) Amy Mascott.
Stamps are often used for card-making, picture-creating, and rainy days. But we've stretched our stamp sets (and our imaginations!) for this Camp Sunny Patch activity, and the results were awesome.
This simple Storytelling with Stamps event gave our kids a reason to put the stamp to the ink and pencil to paper for some seriously fun story-writing!
First, we gathered our supplies: We used several sets of Melissa & Doug stamps—the Animal Stamp Set, Deluxe Stamp Set, Dinosaur Stamp Set, Vehicles Stamp Set, and Baby Zoo Animals Stamp Set. We also used a Jumbo Multi-Color Stamp Pad and the really cool Storytelling Paper shown above–it's perfect for writing stories and illustrating them. Triangular Crayons made adding color to the stamps more fun for the kids, since the crayons come in brighter-than-bright colors–and they don't roll off of the table!
And then the kids wrote stories in a silly, backward way: First, they stamped out scenes and then they wrote a story to go along with it. Our only focus was to stamp a picture that had some sort of problem in it. (I thought that would be helpful when it came to writing the story.)
Next, they filled in the stamps with extra color and added details to their scenes with the Triangular Crayons. They added water, grass, roads, signs, and sometimes even word bubbles.
Finally, they wrote out their stories on the lines below the pictures. I gave my youngest one more support with spelling and letters, but really, I encouraged them to just write freely. (Emerging readers and writers shouldn't be bothered with worrying about correct spelling when they write; as parents, we want them to get all of their thoughts on paper, and the spelling will come later.)
In the end, we shared stories as a group, adding details along the way. For some added fun, we mixed it up by stamping scenes and then passing the finished piece to the person next to us. That person then wrote a story to go along with it. Everyone loved it; it was super fun–and sneaky learning along the way!
Stamps can be a lot of fun for children, allowing them to create cards, pictures, posters, you name it. And Storytelling with Stamps is a great way to get kids' creative juices flowing, their pencils moving, and their smiles growing!

Friday, Nov. 16, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The murder trial is set to continue on Monday afternoon for a gunman accused of shooting and killing an elderly Hepzhibah man in May 2011.
Four teens are accused of breaking into a home on Hoods Lane. During the incident, 81-year-old Johnny Luckey was shot to death.
A now 20-year-old Joseph Jordan, the accused killer, is on trial this week. Three other teens were involved and have since pleaded guilty to their role. As part of their pleas, the teens will testify against Jordan in court.
Friday morning continued with testimony from the state's witnesses. Assistant District Attorney John Markwalter called for testimony from the three other teens who allegedly helped Jordan that night.
The first witness of the day was 19-year-old Artavious Feazell. Earlier this year, Feazell was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for his involvement in the case.
He took a plea deal and as part of the agreement he has to testify in court, however, when Feazell took to the stand Friday, he refused to testify.
Presiding Judge Michael Annis told the co-defendant this could mean his deal is thrown out and be forced to stand trial.
The next witness was 17-year-old Tracy Lindsey. Lindsey pleaded guilty earlier this year and is serving 25 years for armed robbery and a weapons charge.
Lindsey told the jurors they had planned the robbery for about a month. He said the group wanted to "hit a lick," rob a man. Lindsey testified that once at the house, Jordan pointed the gun at the window and into the living room where Luckey was seated on the couch, watching TV.
Lindsey then said Jordan kicked in the door and shot him again in the stomach. While the other boys went into the rooms, Jordan held a gun to Luckey. Lindsey said he believed Luckey was still alive at the time because his chest was moving, but he said it could have been the oxygen tank.
The following witness was the third co-defendant, 18-year-old Rufus Van. Van was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to robbery in connection to the case.
Van said they saw Luckey as an easy target because of his age. He told the jurors that they went to First Friday after the robbery. Van testified that he did not know it was a homicide until he got home and saw on News 12 that it was the sixth homicide of the year.
The testimony revealed a recorded interview between Jordan and an investigator. In the tape, Jordan said he was told Luckey had a a lot of money. Jordan had recently been kicked out so he needed money. He also told the investigator if he had to do it all over again, he'd do it alone.
Thursday's proceedings were canceled after Jordan's defense attorney, Maureen Floyd, fell ill.

SANTA CLARA — Tight end Vernon Davis caught five passes for 106 yards and one touchdown in helping the 49ers beat the Falcons and advance to the Super Bowl. The breakout performance validated something he learned over the course of the regular season.
"It tested my patience," Davis said of catching only five passes in the five games before the Falcons game Sunday. "I was patient and just waited for my opportunities."
It's a sign of just how far Davis has come, he said, that he never voiced concerns over his lack of catches the latter half of the season, when he caught seven passes in the seven games before the Falcons game.
It's all part of the maturation process that started when former coach Mike Singletary arrived, Davis said.
"When I first came in, this game, it was all about me," Davis said. "I'm not going to lie. It was all about what I wanted. I didn't look at if from a team standpoint. I grew. Coach Singletary was here, and he helped me make that transition from a boy to a young man. I'm very thankful for that. I thank God for that.
"Now, it's all about the team. I get happy just to see other guys succeed, Delanie (Walker), (Michael) Crabtree, Frank (Gore). I had a chance, an opportunity, to sit back and watch these guys make plays."
Against the Falcons, it was Davis' turn. He finished with almost double the yards receiving of any other 49er on Sunday.
Now it's on to the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens. Davis said he is reveling in the opportunity to realize a childhood dream.
"This is what we play for," Davis said. "We wait. We spend all our lives; as a kid, then we grow up, go to high school and then college, and we play for this moment."
