Mark in Minnesota wrote: My father's ethnicity is Finnish; his grandparents were all socialists who emigrated from Finland after the "Reds" lost the civil war. Because so many of the Finns who came across after that war were socialists and communists, Finns in America had more trouble integrating than other Europeans who came across during that time period. They had trouble getting mining jobs in Northern Minnesota because it was assumed (often correctly) that they would lead attempts to unionize.
My father grew up mostly around other second- and third- generation ethnic Finns; their parents were for the most part ardent liberals and socialists, and many of them worked for co-ops.
Pretty much everyone on his side of my family celebrates St. Urho's Day; many of them are sauna enthusiasts; my father himself has gone to visit Finland and has learned a fair amount of the language. He's in touch with his ethnic heritage and has tried to pass it on to me.
With me, it hasn't really taken. I have a little bit of historical interest in Finland because of it, but I don't identify as part of the "Finno-American" culture the way my dad seems to. My mother's family is a mix of a lot of different ethnic groups; mostly English, Swedish, German, but a lot of random stuff in there too, even a little Native American. So I don't closely identify as part of my father's ethnic heritage, and my mother doesn't really have one.
Quote: "The designation of St Urho as patron saint of the Finnish is particularly humorous because 82.5% of the Finnish population is affiliated with the Lutheran Church, which does not recognize the Feasts of Saints."

MIAMI -- Reigning NBA MVP LeBron James said he's not at all surprised by the way Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has played this season.
He said he expected it.
"Absolutely," James said after Wednesday's shootaround. "And this is what he expected out of himself as well. But when you're dealing with injuries, it kind of hampers your game. I mean I've watched him a lot, went to see him a few times in college, so I knew what he was capable of doing. It's good to see him play at a high level right now. Health has a lot to do with it."
James and the Miami Heat seem keenly aware of the roll Curry is on as they prepare to host the Warriors Wednesday night. Miami's leaders said they aren't taking the Warriors lightly though Golden State hasn't won in Miami since March 2008 (0-4).
"This is a very, very good team. Coach Jackson has done an unbelievable job with the team," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "They've got the right group of guys. This is going to be a tough game. This is a game they're going to make us move around a lot, going to challenge us defensively. On offense we've got to stay on the attack and not let them lull us to sleep with their zone or their trap, etc. So we've got to stay on the attack. And on the defensive end, we've got to be aware and we've all got to stay together. Otherwise it will be a long night."
The Warriors have won seven of eight, including four in a row on the road. And Curry has been the catalyst for that success. Over his past eight games, he is averaging 23 points, 8.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 39.6 minutes. And during the same stretch, he has averaged only 2.4 turnovers, a big reason the Warriors are 7-1 in those games.
"He's always had this potential," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of Curry. "It's really been primarily his health (holding him back). He's been able to play the first 21 games (injury) free. That's the biggest thing. When he came into the league as a rookie, you already saw his greatness. His mind. His skill level. His shooting ability. He's playing right now with the same type of confidence and freedom he played with in college. You see his efficiency numbers are great -- going through the roof particularly the last three weeks."
James, Spoelstra and Wade called Curry and second-year guard Klay Thompson the best shooting backcourt in the league. They stressed the importance of not only being aware of their outside shooting, but talked about keeping the pressure on them and making them work.
"They have two of the best shooters this game has ever seen in Curry and Thompson," Wade said. "(They) can shoot it. They have these green lights that I used to have before. That is awesome for them. They're just playing with a lot of confidence."
James has experience with both Warriors guards. He got to practice with Thompson this summer during Team USA training camp. Thompson was part of the select squad who practice against James and the eventual gold medal team.
James and Curry go even farther back. Curry, then with Davidson, was an instructor at James' summer camp. When Curry gained national fame in the NCAA tournament, James was one of his biggest fans, even went to watch Curry play a few times.
He said he was drawn to Curry by his ability to make his teammates better.
"Can anyone name one of his teammates in college?" James asked the throng of media. "Right now. Go. . . . My point exactly. And he raised all their levels to another height because he was able to transcend their games and play at that high level. So I kind of gravitated towards that."
James said Curry is now taking the Warriors to another level.
"He's definitely MVP for that team, for sure," James said. "And with the way that they're playing as a team, he'd get a few votes, of course. It's early in the season. . . . No one would've said that they'd be where they are right now -- second in their division and in the middle of the pack as far as playoffs. So he's definitely playing at a high clip right now."
Miami will start with point guard Mario Chalmers on Curry. But if the Heat is like most teams, it will give Curry different looks. You can expect the Heat to pressure Curry with speedy backup Norris Cole and try to make life tough for him by putting defensive specialist Shane Battier on him.
And don't be surprised if James -- a first-team All-NBA defense selection -- winds up on Curry, especially if the game is close late.
Wade said he had a defensive strategy for Curry.
"You just pray when he shoots it that it don't go in," Wade said. "You got to try to put some pressure on him, man. But he's going to get his shots. A guy who can come across half court and shoot the shot the same way he does right by the three-point line, he's going to get his shots. You've just got to try to put pressure on him and hope he misses. Like I said, there's going to be a lot of praying tonight every time he shoots."

Angus T. Jones has a spiritual advisor with some rather, er, interesting beliefs.
According to TMZ, Christopher Hudson is featured with Jones in the "testimonial" video in which Jones trashes his own "Two and a Half Men" television show as "filth" that goes against his newfound religious ideology.
In the video, Jones says he discovered Hudson through his ForeRunner Chronicles video series, in which Hudson finally lets the world in on a number of secrets that could bring about our doom, including the accusation that Jay-Z is a freemason who is executing a plan concocted by Satan. Which isn't a very polite way to talk about Beyonce.
He also says President Obama's pro-gay agenda has similarities to Adolph Hitler. Who, of course, showed his pro-homosexual agenda by killing thousands of them.
Oh, and the New York City gas crisis can lead to cannibalism. Hudson has warned his followers that the gas crisis can turn into a food crisis, forcing women to begin cannibalizing their own children. "Your baby might start looking like a chicken wing," he supposedly said.
Well, as long as they don't start looking like delicious pizza rolls ...
So the question is: Does Jones believe everything Hudson is preaching? TMZ reported that during the "testimony" video, Jones praised Hudson, saying, "I love watching ForeRunner Chronicles ... all the information is so great."
It is great. It's some of the best stand-up comedy I've heard in years.
He also said "Your videos have no doubt been a blessing to me."
I have a feeling Jones' agent might disagree.
Hudson told TMZ he and Jones have become close over the past year and share similar beliefs. The website hadn't heard back from Jones, as of Tuesday morning.

Meridian Township police announced they will be splitting a federal grant four ways to help crack down on underage drinking. The money will help pay for undercover police prevention methods called operation LOOKOUT.
The grant is worth $10,000, meaning four local Ingham county law agencies can expect to receive about $2,500 each.
The money is expected to fund overtime operations for some officers and deputies as they work or observe in undercover positions at local stores and restaurants selling alcohol.
Meridian Township, Ingham County Sheriff's Office, Lansing Township and the East Lansing police will split the grant.

Backlighting is perfectly executed on the Kobo Glo, and is a great option on a versatile e-reader that occasionally needs a computer.

The Nook Simple Touch GlowLight packs a beautiful backlight and social options, but can it rival Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite?
Samsung's Galaxy Player 4.2 makes sense as a cellular-free alternative, but with a wider variety of low-cost Android smartphones now on the market, the iPod touch remains the reigning champ of media players.

From the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission:
Due to hazardous road conditions where flooding is taking place and to ensure public safety, the following WMA roads have been temporarily closed to vehicle traffic. This is effective from April 10 until lead managing agencies determine that flooding has subsided such that these roads are safe for public vehicle use.
Devil's Hammock WMA – Andrews Road (closed by Levy County).
If you are going to have an RV resort, you need to have a swimming pool, too.
The Walking Club is starting again. All interested in walking during the evening hours are welcome to come along. There are no gimmicks. We'll just be walking, enjoying good conversation and making new friends.
We will start walking at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and will meet at the Chiefland Skateboard Park.
The goal will be to walk two miles or as much as you can. If you don't want to walk, bring your bike and ride along with us. Remember, there is safety in walking together. Everyone is invited.
Visitors to Manatee Springs State Park Friday gather at a table surrounded by the flooded waters of the spring head. While park visitors were able to enioy the water, rising levels last week had forced the closing of nearby Fanning Springs to swimmers, as well as causing the state to issue no wake zones in various areas along the Suwannee River.
People came from as far as Inglis and Gainesville to attend a public meeting about deer management held at the Tommy Usher Center April 1.
Many said they came to find out about the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's plans and express their feelings based on what they learned at the meeting.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is seeking public comment on draft alligator management rule proposals.
The FWC is holding a webinar o Thursday, April 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. where individuals can submit comments.
For more information, click on the link by this story for documents on the draft and on the webinar.
For more information, visit MyFWC.com/Alligator.
Now that weather and waters are warming, manatees are disbursing into their popular feeding and loafing areas. To ensure manatee safety, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) law enforcement officers, along with federal and local law enforcement partners, will be increasing patrols in these areas.
This effort coincides with seasonal manatee zones that went into effect April 1 and run through Nov. 15. The speed zones are intended to protect the state's official marine mammal from collisions with boats.
When Suwannee River floodwaters at Branford fell below 24 feet, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) deactivated boating restrictions in Zone 3.
Zone 3 runs from Little River Spring to the County Road 340 Bridge at Rock Bluff. This 23-mile segment is an idle-speed, no-wake zone as long as the Suwannee River is at 24 feet or more on the Branford gauge.
The FWC had activated restrictions in this zone March 25.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be holding a public hearing at the Tommy Usher Center in Chiefland, on Tuesday, April 1, at 6:30 p.m. on proposed deer hunting rules for the north Florida region.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) seeks input and invites the public to a series of meetings on deer management in hunting zones B and C in north and central Florida.
State waters off the coast of Franklin, Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor counties will open to recreational harvest of gag grouper starting April 1.

Strong winds have been causing problems around the bluegrass Thursday night.
Trees and power lines fell across roads and front yards and even caused some damage.
WKYT's Jordan Vilines tracked the storms in Lexington and Danville on Thursday and has the story:
The caution tape strung between the two trees in front of Patrick Cleveland's Danville home weren't used as a Halloween decoration; the sound of chainsaw wasn't a sound effect and the folks stopping by his home on Alta Avenue weren't trick-or-treating.
"When I came home I wondered why that caution tape was there and why that tree was hanging down so low," Cleveland told us Thursday afternoon. "I just called my family and they came out and we started cleaning it up."
Each of those sights and sounds were actually a result of a tree two stories tall that was snapped during the strong storm.
"It could've fallen and hit the house or it could've fallen into the bedroom. Thank goodness it didn't"
Cleveland says the tree has stood in his front yard for 15 years and has withstood a number of storms, but apparently it couldn't withstand Thursday's storm.
"The last ice storm we had I thought it was going to come down then but it didn't. It has been strong but it just took that wind from Thursday to knock it over."
Despite the fact that he spent most of his Halloween clearing brush and hauling wood out of his yard, he's still trying to see the silver living.
"It actually came at a good time because now we will be able to use the wood from the tree to heat our home for the winter."
The strong winds moved into Lexington just a few hours later, causing damage to one home on Richmond Avenue after a large tree fell onto a man's back porch and destroyed half of the railing.
"I knew something hit it but I didn't know what it was. The first thing I did was look out the window and all I saw was leaves so I knew something was wrong," said Eric Reed, who was in the process of renovating his home when his porch was ruined.
So far, there have not been any reports of injuries in Danville or Lexington as a result of Thursday's storm.

- Facts about the minimum wage and income inequality
SAN JOSE -- Nick Taptelis didn't wait until Monday, when San Jose's voter-approved minimum wage increase from $8 to $10 an hour officially kicks in, to give his two-dozen employees at Philz Coffee a raise. They got it last month.
And Taptelis believes that will be good for his downtown cafe business across from San Jose State.
"I'll have a happier team willing to work harder," Taptelis said. "I think that's going to increase business."
That may seem counterintuitive, given that business groups spent more than a half-million dollars trying to defeat the measure, which passed with nearly 60 percent approval. But since the election, some businesses -- but by no means all -- have embraced the inevitable.
The San Jose Downtown Association, which opposed the wage hike as a job-killer, has since joined with the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor Council, which led the measure's campaign, to promote the city's higher wage requirement as a selling point.
They are encouraging residents and workers in the city to spend their higher wages in San Jose instead of patronizing businesses in neighboring suburban towns, where the higher wage isn't in effect.
"The voters have spoken, and now we must implement the minimum wage," said Scott Knies, executive director of the San Jose Downtown Association. "How can we make the best of it? Consumers have a choice where they spend their hard-earned pennies. Consumers are increasingly making spending decisions based on personal preferences."
South Bay Labor Council Executive Officer Ben Field said, "it's a legitimate selling point for San Jose businesses that they're paying a higher wage."
"It fits into a broader trend of ethical shopping," Field said. "Increasingly, consumers take into account the ethics of the buying decisions they make."
Those working low-wage jobs in San Jose are, of course, thrilled.
"I'm excited!" said Reedy Griffin, a 24-year-old college graduate who works concessions and the projectors at the downtown Camera 12 Cinema theater as she stocked boxes of plastic drink cups behind the counter. "I'm definitely looking forward to being paid more. I get to buy more things."
But to be sure, many businesses aren't buying the line that this will be good for the bottom line. Many say they'll have to cut employee hours or even jobs to stay afloat.
"We're just looking at not being open as many hours," said Jack NyBlom, owner of Camera Cinemas, which has theaters in San Jose and Campbell. "Where we can streamline, we're going to streamline."
At the Pita Pit just up the street, manager and co-owner Yonhee Shon fretted over how the city's 25-percent minimum wage increase will affect her business amid higher payroll taxes, rent and food supply costs.
"I'm going to have to cut their hours," Shon said of her workers as she wiped off tables to prepare for the lunch crowd. "Which means I'm going to have to be here more hours. I'm already here 50 hours a week."
San Jose joined just a handful of other major cities nationwide to set its own minimum wage requirement with a ballot measure last November. The city measure, hatched by San Jose State University sociology students, raises the hourly wage rate from the $8 state minimum to $10 with annual inflation adjustments.
California last raised its minimum wage in 2008 from $7.50 to $8 an hour. It is among 19 states with hourly minimum wages higher than the $7.25 federal requirement in place since July 2009.
There's been growing interest in the nation's Capitol for raising the national minimum wage. President Barack Obama mentioned it in his state-of-the-union speech, and his fellow Democrats in Congress just introduced a bill that would raise the national minimum wage to $10.10 by 2015 with annual inflation adjustments.
Many San Jose businesses say they would be fine with paying a higher wage if all their competitors had to pay it too.
"I don't know why San Jose has to be ahead of the curve," said Chris Kouretas, owner of John's of Willow Glen restaurant. "It makes it difficult to compete. You can go to Los Gatos and they are still paying $8 an hour."
But others like Philz shrugged off concerns about the wage hike. General manager Taptelis noted that his San Francisco-based company is used to having a higher city minimum wage in effect because San Francisco has for years set its minimum wage higher than the state required. He said that he hasn't cut back employee hours to compensate for higher wages, and that although his company has raised prices, it was mostly to cover wholesale coffee cost increases. His main concern was maintaining good service.
"Sometimes it doesn't just come down to the numbers," Taptelis said. "I don't want to risk my customer service."

The MINIMUM WAGE
Starting Monday, the minimum wage in San Jose will be $10. Automatic annual increases will be pegged to inflation.
California's minimum wage has been $8 since 2008.
A bill in Congress would raise the national minimum wage, which has been $7.25 since 2009, to $10.10 by 2015 with automatic inflation adjustments.
Most states don't allow individual cities to set their own minimum wages, and only a handful of others have done so: Santa Fe and Albuquerque, N.M.; Washington, D.C.; and San Francisco. The San Francisco minimum wage, adopted in 2003 and also indexed to inflation, is now $10.55, the highest in the nation.
San Jose's minimum wage law applies to most employers in the city and to some outside city limits, as well. Employers that maintain a facility in San Jose or are subject to the city's business tax are required to comply with the ordinance. Employees who perform at least two hours or more of work per week in San Jose, even if their employers are based outside city limits, are covered by the minimum wage ordinance. The program will be enforced on a complaint basis, as is the current state minimum wage.

It's going to feel like December tonight
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 12:18 a.m.
Temperatures are expected to start to dip midday today and hit as low as 26 to 27 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday.
An arctic cold front will come through West Alabama this afternoon, bringing with it chilly winds of 20 miles per hour or more, said Kevin Laws, meteorologist at the Birmingham office of the National Weather Service. By 10 or 11 p.m., temperatures will be below freezing and are expected to stay down, with a low of 27 degrees Wednesday and a low of 26 degrees on Thursday.
The high today is expected to be 55 degrees with a low of 29.
"Starting at lunchtime Tuesday you'll definitely notice a difference," Laws said.
Although the first freeze of winter usually hits in early November, temperatures in the 20s in November are rare, he said.
"It's a little bit unusual to be that cold," Laws said. "We are getting close to record level, but I don't think we'll quite get there."
People should dress in layers and have coats or jackets with them today. Laws also suggested that those with gardens should consider covering up their fall plantings to help them survive a freeze. Also, think of others, he suggests.
"The big thing is, it hasn't been this cold in a while," Laws said. "Watch your pets outside, watch your vegetation and check on people, including your neighbors. The first one sneaks up on you a little bit."
The high temperature on Wednesday is expected to be 50 and 56 on Thursday. By the weekend, temperatures will warm back up quickly and with highs in the 70s, Laws said.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Feb. 18, 2013
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW) -- It was a busy night for the Waynesboro City Council on Monday.
On the agenda, talks of refinancing existing debt, making some beautifications and the possibility of hiring a new chief of police. When talks came to the replacement of the top cop, the council got an earful.
Many of the folks say Chief Alfonzo Williams is irreplaceable. One man even got into a shouting match with the mayor.
The discussion started hot.
"And we are going to let Richmond County steal him away from us," said Todd Flakes.
And then the discussion was raised to a another level.
"You've tabled the issue for one reason only, because you know he's got a deadline to meet and y'all won't meet before then. I knew that before I come, but that's fine. To hell with this meeting," yelled Flakes to the Mayor.
The room was filled to capacity. Some people even sat and listened outside the doorway. The majority were all in favor of keeping Williams right where he is.
"You can find money when you want to," said Flakes to the mayor.
But it will take a lot of money to keep the chief. He'll be making $30,000 more in his new position.
"Once you start making offers to one employee, then you have to offer something to someone else," said Mayor Pauline Jenkins.
While some want to find money to keep the chief, others say the priority should be other issues the city faces, instead of salaries.
"If you take a look at the infrastructure on our city, if you look at the roads in our city, they are dilapidated. And these are things in the infrastructure that we are going to deal with," said one concerned citizen to the council.
Some people came to find out about the hiring process for the top cop position. Well, no answers about that, but Councilwoman Brenda Lewis offered an idea on keeping Williams.
"I would like to see him in that assistant administrative job, and I would like to bring that back to table," Lewis said.
All this talk may be a little premature. The vote to officially name Williams the head of security for student and teachers' safety in Richmond County won't happen until Thursday night.

Mississippi's Personhood Initiative seems to have stirred up more emotion than any other item on the Nov. 8 ballot. Even some people who are pro-life don't want to see the amendment pass.
The debate has raged for weeks about what will happen if the measure passes.
Ann Stewart is a former educator who strongly opposes the Personhood Amendment.
"A choice of whether you are for abortion or not for abortion is a completely different issue," said Stewart. "This goes way beyond that, and it doesn't take into account economics, money, people's rights, nothing."
Jay Nicholson serves on the Personhood board, and says all the concern over the language in the measure is overblown.
"This bill is one paragraph long; it's not pages. There's not a lot of underlying things going on," said Nicholson. "It will end abortion and the pills, birth control pills, will be done through the legislative process."
But that is one of the issues that concerns Stewart. She fears that if the initiative passes, birth control pills and IUDs could be banned, because as a last resort, they can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining.
"The nation has spent a tremendous amount of money in planned parenthood, teaching women and men about safe sex," said Stewart. "What does that do to us if we have nothing to protect ourselves with?"
"First, there is going to have to be proof that certain pills, as a last resort, do destroy a fertilized egg," said Nicholson. "So if that is proven, and just like every amendment, it has to be worked out through the legislature."
Nicholson says that, if the amendment goes into the state Constitution, a woman's health would not be put before her unborn child's. But Stewart remains concerned
"There's too much in this document that nobody fully understands and grasps," said Stewart. "We should not be voting on this thing."
"There is already a law protecting women right now," said Nicholson. "The life of the baby does not trump the life of the mother."
Stewart also says the cost of the legal fight that passage would bring is not worth it. But Nicholson says taking personhood all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court would be well worth it.
Gov. Haley Barbour says he has voted in favor of the Personhood Amendment. Barbour says he voted absentee Thursday in Yazoo County. Barbour had said earlier this week that he was concerned about the ambiguity of the amendment, and what impact it might have on birth control and invitro fertilization. But he says, ultimately, he believes life begins at conception, and that is why he voted for the amendment.

OAKLAND -- Yoenis Cespedes has been playing in the big leagues for less than a season and a half, but his eight years' worth of experience playing in Cuba helped engineer the A's 4-3 win Sunday over Kansas City, completing a three-game sweep of the Royals.
Cespedes, who had a single earlier in the game and scored Oakland's first run, said he feels like it might be time for him to heat up. It may well be. He came into the game with just four hits in his last 38 at-bats and an overall batting average of .198.
After fouling out on the first pitch of his first at-bat, Cespedes thought back to his time in Cuba and laid off the first pitch in his next three at-bats. In the process, he helped turn he game around.
"In Cuba, they told me that if I swung at the first pitch, I had a 90 percent chance to be out," Cespedes said through interpreter Ariel Prieto. "So I looked at some pitches."
He was particularly discerning in the eighth facing Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera. Cespedes looked at ball one, then lined the second pitch over the left field wall to give the A's their first lead of the day.
And with Ryan Cook wiggling out of the ninth inning to get his first save of the year, the A's are back over .500 at 23-22 heading into their first road series against the A.L. West-leading Texas Rangers, starting Monday.
"Cespedes is a big part of our lineup," center fielder Coco Crisp said. Although he, like Cespedes, has been struggling, Crisp drove in the game-tying run in the seventh with a sacrifice fly.
The fact is that most of the A's have been struggling this month. In a 16-12 April, Oakland hitters put together a .253 average with 28 homers and an on-base percentage of .344. A 7-10 May has seen the numbers fall to .219, 15 and .292. The May home runs and on-base percentage are next-to-last in the American League.
If Cespedes is going to heat up, however, he probably won't be alone.
"He's one of those hitters who makes everyone around him better," manager Bob Melvin said of Cespedes. "When he is swinging well, he will take the pressure off of everyone around him. He and Coco are key for us."
The day didn't start particularly well for the A's with the offense struggling and starting pitcher A.J. Griffin far from at his best.
Griffin takes pride in avoiding walks, but on this sunny Coliseum afternoon, he walked three. Two of them came around to score.
Still, when he left the game after six innings, the A's were down only 3-2 "and I had all the faith in the world that the guys would get the job done," Griffin said.
"We're a very big team-oriented team," he went on, "When we do that, good things happen."
Good things sometimes require some luck. The A's got that in the seventh when catcher Derek Norris shot a single up the middle. Center fielder David Lough seemed to hesitate briefly on the ball, which then skipped past him. While Lough was racing to the fence, Norris had to go from running to running hard. He wound up at third base.
"I was about as surprised as one man could be," Norris said of the error on Lough. "When I saw that, I knew I had to put it into gear."
Bruce Chen relieved starter Luis Mendoza and retired Adam Rosales before Crisp, who went 1-for-10 in the series and is now sitting at .259, clubbed a ball deep enough to left field to bring the tying run home. Suddenly the game was tied, and for the third consecutive game, the A's were in position to pull out a late one-run win.
Now it's on to Texas with a truckload of momentum, if you believe in such things.
"I believe in momentum," Melvin said.

A trip through the woods near Fort Gordon could lead you into a warzone. The fort spans Columbia, Richmond, Jefferson and McDuffie Counties, and without physical boundaries, hunters, hikers and ATV riders can wander on the property, even right next to a firing range.
News 12 is on your side with how to avoid the eight thousand rounds that are fired there almost every day.
A hunting trip or ATV ride through the woods could lead you straight to the danger zone. Around six people a week are caught trespassing, putting them near a firing range.
It's hard for hunters like Eddie Walden to know where in the forest the safety ends and the danger begins. Many of the warning signs have been stolen or torn down over the years.
"If there's no physical boundary like a fence or a river, any land that butts up against Fort Gordon, it could be easy for someone to wander on there," Walden said.
Fort Gordon isn't fenced in, and some areas near Blythe and Harlem are close to live ammo.
If you enter the Fort Gordon boundary from Deans Bridge Road, you could be just three miles from live fire.
Garrison operations officer Thomas Fitzpatrick says rounds from the M16s they fire can travel about a mile.
"The bullet velocity may impact those people and they'll never know they were hit until it's too late," Fitzpatrick said.
He recalls a close call when a pickup truck driver wandered onto the property and got stuck in mud in the direct line of helicopter fire.
"It was only by the grace of god we found him."
The game wardens and helicopters keep a lookout before military training starts. Hunters are allowed on the base if they sign in, and only hunt on days when there's no training.
"They should only hunt the land they have permission to hunt and have a basic understanding of the lay of the land before they go."
That's good advice from hunter Eddie Walden. Because not knowing the land could lead to a fatal mistake. Soldiers are working on posting signs around the property. They expect to have them up in the next few weeks.

During this winter season several of my friends and family have been victims to the dreaded cold, some not so serious and others wiped out for over a week. I'm a firm believer in keeping healthy through the use of vitamin C. Some studies claim taking a daily supplement of vitamin C doesn't prevent one from getting a cold, it just improves the changes of getting over the cold more quickly. I use vitamin C on a daily basis and am grateful for my ability to maintain my health, especially during the cold season.
I also strive to maintain my health through diet. For many years I was under the misconception vitamin C only came from citrus. But as I got older and wiser, I discovered my health could be balanced with other fruits including strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, pineapple, cranberries and raspberries. Then I became REALLY wise when I learned vitamin C can also come from vegetables! Some of my favorites include bell peppers, red cabbabe, tomatoes, beets and lettuce.
Did you know how many awesome dishes can be prepared with those ingredients? Indulging in these vitamin C fruits and vegetables can be healthy and delicious!

I have Argo with english subs. They work PERFECT in VLC, look normal. They load on PMS, but they don't look quite right. They are still readable but not 100%.
For example, on VLC the sub says "Pardon?"
On PMS the sub says "Pard$§n?"
or something like that. It seems to do it with Ts and Os.
Any suggestions? Attached are my settings for subtitles.

Works Good but needs to be finished
By Yorksoldat
from York pa.
Gave it 5 stars despite a flaw because of price and it's easy to fix. The rubber or plastic tends to cover the threads making it impossible to start in the hole. That's why another reviewer gave it a bad rating probably because he wasn't persistent like me. You may need to take a box cutter and trim away some of the plastic covering the threads. I also used a 9/32" drill bit instead of a 5/16" and it worked great.

It's a hook.
By Steve
from Nashville, TN
There's really not much to review; it's just a big hook that's inexpensive. I use several on the garage wall to hang air hoses, extension cords, etc. It's threaded like a common lag bolt, so I'm not sure how the other reviewer would have problems getting it into a pre-drilled hole unless their pre-drilled hole was the issue.

Could not get them to bite into the wood
By Danny K.
from Raleigh, NC
Got these to hold up ladder. I usually buy them elsewhere but decided to pick them up at HF for less. I just could not make them bite into the wood. Pre-drilled a hole to help get them started...nothing. They would just wallow out a hole in the wood. Went to the other place, came home, and those went into the wood like it was butter.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

ALBANY -- When Marlon Short's daughter returned from volleyball practice Monday night, her dad sat her down in the living room and broke the news to her: "Mr. I," her longtime basketball coach and favorite middle school teacher, had killed himself.
"She was physically shaking," Short said of his daughter, now a St. Mary's High School junior.
The week before, the 35-year-old Albany father had told her of Albany Middle School teacher James Izumizaki's arrest, on suspicion of committing a lewd act on a girl younger than 14.
"These last two weeks have been crazy," Short said Thursday, shaking his head while standing outside the middle school on his way to a parents-only meeting on how to help their children cope with the multilayered tragedy.
This small East Bay community, where families move for good schools and a small-town feel, has been torn apart by the revelations.
Many residents supported Izumizaki, who grew up in Albany before returning to teach at his former middle school, believing the immensely popular teacher and coach could never commit such a crime.
Others are shocked that parents would support a molestation suspect, particularly while his young accuser already copes with guilt for coming forward.
The disparate viewpoints have played out with passionate conversations in homes, in meetings and on the town's hyperlocal news website, Patch, leading an editor to post a blog explaining why the story was even being covered at all.
Experts say taking sides is all too common in these types of cases, which can tear at the fiber of communities.
'Very common'
Shortly after the 28-year-old Izumizaki was found dead in his car in San Lorenzo, some in the community began blaming school administrators, police, media and even the victim for his suicide. He left a note, but its contents have not been made public.
"Imagine you are the best at something. You are the best at this not just because it comes natural to you, but because you pour your heart and soul into it every day," an Albany Patch commenter going by "Susan" wrote Tuesday. (Patch readers are not required to use their real names when commenting.)
"You find that your work, dedication, and passion are now only met with suspicion, and that the first instinct of your supervisors is to protect not the accusers, not the accused, but only their own careers. No, neither (Superintendent Marla) Stephenson, nor the police, nor any other individual took Mr. I's life, but they very well backed him out onto the ledge," the commenter wrote.
Another blog poster going by "Colleen O'Neill" wrote this, hours after Izumizaki's body was found: "If this man was innocent this community has done something akin to the Salem Witch Trials."
A candlelight vigil was held Tuesday night in front of the school, with grieving children and parents leaving condolence notes, flowers and candles. That display of respect struck some as unseemly and triggered more debate about the appropriate response to what had unfolded.
"People need to stop defending this guy. If it was a less charismatic teacher the community would be calling this guy a monster," "John Lewis" wrote on Patch. Others asked what the girl who reported Izumizaki must be thinking, seeing the outpouring of support for the teacher.
Amid the community controversy, police have clarified that more than one girl came forward with sex abuse allegations.
These conflicting, confusing reactions to such allegations are "very common" because perpetrators often groom not just victims but entire communities, according to Terri Miller, of Las Vegas, president of Stop Educator Sexual Abuse, Misconduct and Exploitation.
"Oftentimes they are award-winning teachers or very popular teachers and that's how they mask the demon inside," Miller said. "The community doesn't know that side of him; only the victims have seen that side of perpetrators."
It's important not to blame the victim in these cases and reserve judgment, she said.
"People just need to be cognizant that there is a child out there suffering," she said. "This is so horribly traumatic for the victims to see this kind of response and to see this adulation of the teacher."
Such community reaction could prevent victims from coming forward in the future, she said.
Dr. Glenn Lipson, a Southern California forensic psychologist who consults on sexual misconduct issues, said the treatment of victims can be ruthless.
"They torment them. They write on their backpacks, call them names. ... It's very difficult for kids to come forward," he said.
Other Albany cases
This is not Albany's first experience with sex abuse charges.
In 2007, a former student told Albany school officials that science teacher Kay Sorg molested her from 1990 to 1991 while she was in high school. Sorg was charged with two felony counts of oral copulation of a person younger than 16 and two counts of sexual penetration with a foreign object. A fifth count of a lewd act upon a child was dropped.
The next year, Alameda County prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Sorg in exchange for her admitting to the relationship, resigning from the Albany school district and agreeing to permanently surrender her teaching credential. The deal came because the victim did not want to testify after being "villainized in the community", deputy district attorney Danielle Hilton told the Contra Costa Times at the time. Shortly after Sorg's arrest, a youth sports coach at Albany High School was arrested and charged with four felony counts of sexual assault on boys dating to 1988. Jon Etingoff, the popular volunteer wrestling team volunteer, was convicted on three counts in April 2010 and sentenced to more than 10 years in state prison.
Moraga similarities
Residents of the Central Contra Costa community of Moraga are painfully aware of how Albany families are feeling.
In 1996, popular middle school science teacher Daniel Witters was placed on administrative leave after a handful of girls came forward with accusations of inappropriate behavior. He killed himself days later, polarizing the community.
"I think the school fell down in that they didn't support this man who was facing a future that led him to drive off a cliff," a parent said at the time.
A school psychologist told parents in a meeting that some students were taking out their grief on the accusers.
"I think (the accusers) are feeling torn because they're getting from other kids: 'He did this thing and if you hadn't said this, he wouldn't have gone off the cliff.' ... All of a sudden, they're alone. And what's going to happen?" a parent asked.
Dan Halem, the reporter covering the Witters aftermath for the Contra Costa Sun newspaper, wrote an opinion piece defending the coverage. Last week, an Albany Patch editor similarly wrote a blog post explaining to readers why they covered the arrest and suicide of Izumizaki.
One difference between the two cases is the Moraga police chief at the time decided not to continue investigating the case because Witters had killed himself. That's a decision, Miller said, that can exacerbate rumor-mongering and prolong a community's search for closure. In the recent case, Albany Chief Mike McQuiston, in an effort to be transparent, wrote a three-page letter to the community detailing the investigation, including the revelation that they had talked with multiple victims whose stories were substantiated by additional evidence. The department plans to continue its investigation.
"The case has clearly left people hurt and confused by this tragic turn of events," he wrote. "The arrest of a popular educator and community member raises troubling questions, and his suicide leaves many questions unanswered."
As a BART train squealed by on the elevated tracks next to Albany Middle School on Thursday, Short said he hoped the Izumizaki case would provide an opportunity for frank discussion about child abuse.
"It's appropriate now with the times and Penn State just happened," the father said. "It's out there, but now closer to home and we need to take it seriously."

FREMONT -- Tesla Motors has been fined $89,000 by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health for seven safety violations, six considered "serious," related to a workplace incident that injured and burned three workers in November.
The employees at Tesla's Fremont factory were injured Nov. 13 when a low-pressure aluminum casting press failed, spilling hot metal on the workers and causing their clothing to catch fire.
"Molten metal was released splattering the three victims, the victims' clothing caught fire, they stopped and rolled on the floor," according to a Cal-OSHA report released Thursday. "The safety department called 911. The Fremont Fire Department arrived within 10 minutes, approximately."
Tesla employees Jesus Navarro, Kevin Carter and Jorge Terrazas were taken to Valley Medical Center in San Jose with second- and third-degree burns. Carter and Terrazas have returned to work. Navarro, who had burns on his hands, stomach, hip, lower back and ankles, was hospitalized for 20 days and continues to recuperate at home.
Cal-OSHA's investigation found that Tesla failed to ensure that the low-pressure die casting machine was maintained in a safe operating condition and allowed its employees to operate the machine while the safety interlock was broken. It also found that the employees had not been properly trained regarding the hazards of the machine, and were not wearing the required eye and face protection.
"The citations speak for themselves," Peter Melton, a spokesman for Cal-OSHA, said in an interview. "It was a hazardous situation for three employees."
Tesla, headquartered in Palo Alto, makes its all-electric Model S sedan at the Fremont factory. Tesla took ownership of the former NUMMI plant in October 2010 and has transformed a portion of the cavernous auto plant into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Within the company, the plant is now called the "Tesla Factory."
Tesla said that it plans to appeal the fine because "we believe there are aspects of the citations that merit further discussion."
"We take safety extremely seriously and have taken numerous steps to ensure nothing like it happens again," the company said in a statement. "We fully shut down the low-pressure die casting operation and decommissioned the equipment. We provided the injured employees with dedicated HR support and maintained full pay beyond that provided by workers' compensation."
Tesla added, "It's worth noting that the accident rate at our Fremont factory is nearly twice as good as the automotive industry average, according to the most recent Bureau of Labor data."
