MOUNTAIN VIEW -- A California Air National Guard unit based out of Moffett Field is in the midst of a mission to save a 1-year-old girl in medical distress aboard a sailboat drifting far off the coast of Mexico, authorities said.
The guard received a call from the U.S. Coast Guard late Thursday morning reporting that the American infant was seriously ill and in need of medical attention that could not be provided by family members aboard the 36-foot sailboat "Rebel Heart."
The boat is about 900 nautical miles offshore, and the Coast Guard contacted the 129th Rescue Wing of the guard, which has the capability to reach the remote destination, said 2nd Lt. Roderick B. Bersamina, spokesman for the wing.
The plan is to drop four medically trained parachuters and Zodiac inflatable boats out of a long-range Lockheed MC-130P aircraft into the ocean near the sailboat. The medics will board the sailboat and provide immediate aid, and on Friday a helicopter will be sent out to the craft -- refueling in midair along the way -- to bring the girl to a medical facility on shore.
Around 9 p.m., Bersamina said rescuers had boarded the vessel and were getting the infant's vital signs to transmit them to a doctor on the airplane above. The examination was still under way an hour later, although they had determined that the girl was in stable condition.
"One other significant thing they discovered is that the sailboat has no power and no capability of steering itself," said Bersamina.
He said that means the team is formulating a plan to extract all four family members -- the distressed infant, another child and their parents.
"But right now the focus is on the child," he said. "It's all about getting the vitals and having them diagnosed to make sure she gets the medicine she needs."
He did not have specifics about what is wrong with the girl, only that she is severely ill.
He said the "Rebel Heart" is confirmed to be a U.S.-based boat, but did not know what port it hails from.
The guard is determining whether more rescue craft might have to be employed to get all family members to safety, if necessary. But he said it is possible that they could get the boat moving on its own.
"Right now it doesn't have power, but that could change," he said.
A second large, four-propeller MC-130P is slated to leave Moffett on Friday morning to join the HH-60G Pave Hawk rescue helicopters grouping in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for the second part of the mission.
The main mission of the 129th Rescue Wing is performing wartime duties to recover personnel from anywhere in the world. The wing has also completed an array of missions to rescue civilians, including people with medical issues aboard ships and lost or injured hikers, as well as disaster response.
Bersamina said the wing is credited with saving the lives of more than 1,000 people.

Democrat Bruce Brown won a decisive victory in the race for 5th Judicial District Attorney. Brown received 54 percent of the total votes, while his opponent Republican Scott Turner garnered 46 percent overall according to early results.
All four counties - Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake and Summit - voted for Brown over Turner. Brown's margin was greatest in Lake County, 58 percent to Turner's 42 percent. In Summit, Brown took 53 percent of the vote, and Turner took 47 percent.
"I want to congratulate Scott Turner on a race that was very well run," Brown said. "And I want to express my gratitude to the people of Summit County for voting in large numbers and allowing me to become a leader in the district attorney office and provide the justice that the victims deserve."
A big part of Brown's campaign was focused on change. Turner was endorsed by current district attorney, Mark Hurlbert, also a Republican. Brown maintained that a change in leadership was necessary for improvements, and garnered the endorsements of 11 of the 12 county commissioners, all Democrats, in the district's four counties.
Brown is originally from California, and has been practicing law for 26 years. A private defense attorney, Brown has been involved in cases involving fraud, homicide, drugs and sex assaults. He moved to Colorado in 2002, and currently resides in Evergreen.
"It was a hard campaign," Brown said. "I made a big effort to listen to voters and I think I understood their concerns and I hope that I'll be able to craft an office that reflects the values within our community."
No stranger to campaigns, Brown ran for district attorney in 2004, losing to Hurlbert.
Brown has expressed his desire to incorporate more mentoring for younger and inexperienced attorneys, a move which he claims will aid in trial skills. He is also interested in pushing softer penalties for young, first-time offenders. Most important, he says, are victims' rights.
"My No. 1 priority is to make sure that victims' rights are respected and expanded," said Brown. "My primary emphasis within the office is to make sure that from the beginning of the case, victims are well-communicated with, to the end of the case, when they're heard."
Scott Turner could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.

A federal court judge is scheduled to hear arguments regarding the release of former South Lake Tahoe medical marijuana dispensary owner Gino DiMatteo next week.
A bail review hearing for DiMatteo is scheduled for Tuesday in Sacramento.
"As to the circumstances, Mr. DiMatteo is having difficulty in raising the $500,000 Vacaro Bond," wrote DiMatteo's attorney, Robert Woelfel, in a court document filed Thursday. "Pretrial Services will provide an updated report for the bail review. Based upon the forthcoming report, Mr. DiMatteo will petition the Court to release him on property bonds secured by his real property as well as other real property. The total amount of the property bonds will be available before the hearing."
DiMatteo was arrested on federal marijuana charges earlier this month.
He remains in custody at Sacramento County Jail, according to online records.

This is a weekly editorial by WXII President and GM Hank Price.
Next week marks a milestone for one of North Carolina's crown jewels, the city of Winston-Salem.
It will be a 100th birthday party to remember, with a four-day celebration starting May 9th and running through May 12th.
The Twin City was officially formed in 1913 when the towns of Winston and Salem were consolidated. Today, more than 230,000 people live in a place many call the "City of Arts and Innovation."
Officials and volunteers started planning this historic event more than a year ago, and they've made sure the celebration has something for everyone -- a parade on May 11, a documentary premiere, a community day at Old Salem, and much more.
We've linked to centennial event details, historic photos and other information. Happy birthday Winston-Salem, and here's to many more.

Legislation making its way through the Capitol is hoping to make doing business in Mississippi a little easier by giving businesses a tax credit.
"When you're looking at the playing field in economic development, we're just at an unfair disadvantage," said John McKay, deputy director of government affairs for the Mississippi manufacturers Association.
McKay says the state's inventory tax is holding the state back from a competitive standpoint. It's the tax paid by businesses on raw goods and products held as part of their inventory.
"When we try to attract businesses that are looking to relocate or expand their operations, they have a hard time looking at Mississippi because we have this additional tax that other states don't have," McKay said.
Mississippi is one of only nine states with the tax, which is collected at the local level. McKay says he understands many local governments depend on the tax, which put some in opposition of a tax break, but he says there's a way for those local funds to stay intact.
To ensure local governments maintain a tax base, one measure being pushed is for those city and county governments to continuing collecting the tax. The business could then apply to the state for a reimbursement. That could come in the form of a credit.
"We feel like that money coming back from the state to the business would enhance job creations," McKay said. "It would make Mississippi-made products more accessible."
Additional legislation would get rid of the tax altogether, but those lawmakers in opposition say getting rid of a tax may not be the best move with a state budget tighter than ever.
Estimates put a potential loss to the state at more than $100 million, but supporters say that could be offset when new companies call Mississippi home.
"Overall, when businesses look at where they want to put a business, that's one of the things they look for is what is my tax structure going to look like in this state," said McKay. "And if they can save a half million dollars a year going somewhere else, they'll do that."
Bills from both the House and Senate have passed their respective chambers and now sit with committees. The deadline to act on the bills is
Apr. 17.

Marriage Thursdays
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
Smiling when our eyes meet.
I try to do at least one nice thing specifically for my spouse everyday.
Hoping for some encouragement, advice... I have been married for 7 years. My husband and I met at a church-sponsored study group, got engaged after a couple of months, and got married several months later. I guess you could say it was a whirlwind courtship/engagement - and I got pregnant one month after being married. The early part of our relationship (meeting each other through the birth of our child, I'd say) was spent mostly in church-related activities and volunteering for the pro-life cause. My husband was a revert to the faith at that time, and we both had a great zeal for the faith then. We eventually fell off of participating in the pro-life activities as we became focused on our baby and my husband more and more on work. Seven years into marriage, my husband is SO, SO focused on work and his career (he has a full time job and multiple side jobs [not necessary for us financially]). I had visions/dreams of us being this great, pro-life family, but the reality is so different. My husband still goes to Mass most of the time. Currently he is traveling A LOT for work, and he doesn't bother to go when he is traveling. It has become a hot-button issue, so I try not to bring it up anymore. I also should mention something very important - I suffer from chronic depression and just don't have the high level of energy and vigor for life that I had during our courtship (I have been on medication for a long time). My husband has even admitted that a few years ago he immersed himself even more in his career when he realized that I probably wasn't going to change or get better. Obviously, there is much more to the story than I can share here, but I am just so disappointed in how our marriage has turned out. I cry a lot, which I know is a turnoff to him, but I am just sad. We seemed to be on all the same pages when we got married, but I feel we have just drifted apart from there. I put GOD and faith on the top of my list and he puts career advancement on the top of his. I'm sorry for the sketchiness of detail and I'll be glad to fill in some details if anyone would like more specifics...but I am hoping someone can offer some advice or hope to me. I know I am not easy to live with because of my mental health issues, but I just want some hope for the future of our marriage. Yes, we could continue living the rest of our lives like this and things wouldn't be too terrible, but I know things could be so much better. At the very least, thanks for letting me share here. There's really no one I can share this with in real life.
Disappointed: Since mental health issues are entangled with marital issues I think you both need professional help, preferably from a Catholic or at least Christian marriage counselor. Also I would recommend either doing a Retrouvaille or Marriage Encounter weekend. Also get another psychologist or psychiatrist since it seem your medication isn't working (crying all the time, etc). It seems you two are stuck in a vicious circle: the more depressed you get, the less your husband wants to be around you and the less he wants to be around you the more depressed you get. Yours is a common story and professional counselors are able usually successful at turning things around.
We try to spend 15 minutes a day (sometimes it is just before we fall asleep at night) talking. We try to have a date once a month. Sometimes we actually go out. Other times we wait until the little ones are in bed, we send the older ones to their room and tell them they can read until bedtime, and we have wine and dessert and sit and talk.
Monica, thank you so much for responding. I agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, my husband can't go to counseling because it could affect his job (that is legitimate). He won't go to see a priest either, though that would supposedly be okay. I know I need to look for a new therapist - the last one didn't help at all, so I quit going. It is so hard to find a good one, but I do need to look again. I also e-mailed one of our priests and he said he would be willing to talk to me about my marriage difficulties. To clarify, I apparently feel things are "much worse" than my husband does. He is happy that his career is taking off and that he is getting his PhD (etc, etc) and doesn't seem to share my disappointment about our marriage. I know that *I* will have to be the one to change my perspective and look on things in a more positive light. It is so hard to get a foothold outside of this "vicious circle" as you so aptly termed it. I have let depression rob me of so much over 10+ years - I pray that one day I can recover at least some of my former zeal for life.
I know that what I'm about to say is not comprehensive in terms of how to get through this rough stretch. I think there are so many things to say.....But, talk to your doctor about a change in meds or some meds that will augment whatever you are taking. Eat a healthy diet - it's amazing how much better you will feel when your body is getting the right nutrition. Get good sleep. Ask your husband once or twice per week to take all nighttime duties and put in a pair of earplugs. It's amazing how much better I feel when I get a really good night sleep. Get exercise 2-3 days a week. Go outside in the sun. Go to confession. In short, take care of yourself first since it's hard to take care of the marriage right now. Then, we you are feeling a little more like yourself, start working on the marriage. Go to ForYourMarriage. Do something nice for your spouse. Try to pray a short prayer with him every night(even just the HailMary and Our Father). This is a marathon - not a sprint. So look at where you want to be in 5 years and start making very small changes to get there. Also, start treating him like the man you want him to become. Sometimes, men will step up to the plate when he sees what he could be. Also, when you follow your faith, he may just follow along so participate actively in your faith..... So much to say, so little time. Good luck!
Disappointed, try catholictherapists.com; you might be able to find someone good there. Retrouvaille isn't counseling, just a couples' retreat, so I don't think the company could complain about that. Also, it seems to me that it isn't legit for a company to discriminate against an employee for seeking counseling (and if it's on his own time, it's not like the company has to know); but would it be possible, if counseling seems like it would create problems, to get a drs. note stating that you're both going due to your depression (even though that's not the whole story), if the company wants to be sure that he's not violent or on drugs or something? You stated that you "will have to be the one to change and see things in a more positive light"; while it's true that we can only change ourselves, it doesn't sound like, in your case, that has to amount to just getting over your expectations already and cheering up. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but that's how it sounded to me - like nothing will change so you have to learn to be happy with the problems. I do think it's common for spouses to end up with very different views of their marriage, but the fact that he seems content doesn't mean that all is really well; that's how people skate along for 30 years and then split, not knowing quite how they got to that point (things seem okay on the surface, but aren't okay at any deeper level). At any rate, perhaps meeting with the priest would be a good first step; if payment is a problem with counseling not being able to go through company insurance, Catholic Charities uses a sliding scale, and it's confidential, so dh's company wouldn't know. Prayers for you: depression is a tough place to be, as I know from experience, and it's impossible to imagine what it's like on the other side - but it really can get better!
The fact that your hubs turned to JOB makes me feel there is MUCH HOPE for a happy reversion to what you desire! Just think of all the things men turn to when disapointed at home: drink, affairs, gambling, etc. etc. Your husband dove into working harder... and so he is still VERY invested in your family!!! Hooray for that! I think if you are able to just set aside your diappointment for a few months and try to get YOURSELF back to what you "were" in the days of happiness (that you look back to), things would totally turn around!! Your husband is still so devoted your you and yours, just not the way he was or the way you want!!

News 12 This Morning / Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Election Day is just a week away and thousands have already cast their ballots for early voting. One group came out to vote for the very first time. Fort Gordon's Youth Challenge Academy brought 45 cadets to the Board of Elections to vote for the very first time.
The cadets, most just 18 years old, have spent the past five weeks learning about the voting process. Now, for the first time, they were able to exercise their right to vote.
"It was first time experience and I really liked it," said Cadet Joliana Clark.
"I was nervous," added Cadet Ciara Thomas.
They are all members of Fort Gordon's Youth Challenge Academy, a program that works with "at risk" teens.
"We have several that just needed the discipline because they realized they weren't as disciplined as they needed to be to fulfill the dreams they had for themselves," said lead teacher Chandra Bynes.
These cadets are six weeks in to a 22-week program.
"In that time period they've gone through acclamation phase, which is to get them geared and use to the way in which we do things," Bynes said. "They start their academic classes as well."
Classes that include social studies lessons on government, citizenship and voting.
"It's huge because, for many of them, they had no idea about what it meant to vote," explained Bynes. "They've heard people talk about voting, but they never had an idea about what it meant, the significance of voting and what an impact their vote has on society at large."
"We have that freedom and that power to go out and chose who we want to make our decisions for us," added Cadet Robert Mcaleer.
Over the past few weeks, the teachers registered each cadet to vote, something they say many might not have done if they weren't a part of the program.
"I don't think the 45 we brought would have," Bynes said. "Maybe out of the 45, maybe three or four, and that's just because of the questions I received in the process of registering them to vote. I just don't think that they would have."
Just one more step in getting more people out to the polls.
"No matter who you choose, it doesn't really matter. Every vote counts," Mcaleer said.
They also learned a little about each candidate and what they stand for. They say one of the main issues for them was the economy and who will be able to make things better for their future.

Leeds United Message Board
Brrrum, Brrum, Brum!
Leeds revving up for an away win at St Andrews - our first in 2013!
Okay, results matter no longer as our (and Birmingham's) season is all but over. Nevertheless, an away win would represent more than just consolation for Leeds' dire performances on-the-road this season; it would dispel anxieties about Leeds' away form next season.
I'm optimistic about a Leeds win (maybe 1-2) because, at last, we have a Leeds manager who, like Don Revie, studies opponents, respects them, and does his best to eliminate chance...
McDermott: "We'll play no differently. I'll pick the team, look at how Birmingham play and come up with a game plan"Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
This the banker 1-1 draw of the season, I've just done a deal with the bookie. I'm right and he gives me a hundred quid---if I'm wrong he gets our lass on the proviso he keeps her.
H--Cornish pasties cause flatulence, but apart from that they make me fart.

You were nearer than me Al. I should give up the predictions but they are fun!
Spot on Andy. A big Mac for me I have ditched the dreaded Cornish pasty. Game on as they say!
- 1 Reply to Tom
As I am feeling a little more confident I will continue to be the least capable predictor of scores on this board and will say 3-0 to LU with Morrison getting a hat trick.
Big Mac has had a word with the lad as he has not fitted in so far and I think his words of wisdom may just work!

Is Google becoming Big Brother?
November 13, 2013 - Art Smith
Data being entered is a requirement for software to work; sometimes how that data is gathered just gets a little too creepy for some users.
Several months ago Google updated its mobile app. The app provides a lot of information, including the current weather, the number of minutes you have until you reach work as well as what you have scheduled for the day.
It knows much of this information because you allow it to know your location. The software giant collects it and keeps track of it for at least 30 days.
It's pretty creepy when you think about it. People worry about what the NSA may have collected on them. Google knows where I've been and how long I spent there for the last month.
Yes, you can delete the data, but few people would bother, or know where to go to do so.
As a user of Google maps, I have the location service enabled on my iPhone. It appears to keep track of your location as long as you are signed into a Google service.
A review of the data kind of shocked me. When overlaid on a map, it presents a review of my travels over the last 30 days. The time line also correctly indicated I spent less time at home last week than normal, true – we made two trips to Columbus that it also noted. It incorrectly indicated the amount of time I spent at work, but correctly indicated days I normally go to certain addresses. It also correctly indicated nearly every major trip I have taken since June.
Gathering massive amounts of data about million of people allows organizations to learn habits and thus tailor products to deliver features that help make our lives better.
I drive a lot, so Google has collected a lot of data on me. The fact that all those trips are being carefully logged is just a little creepy. Google's internally used motto is "do no Evil" – Let's hope so.

Last week we had an unexpected visitor. Radar did not make a reservation in advance, just showed up, but we let him stay anyway – free of charge.
We named him Radar because he is a Racing Homer Pigeon who lost his way and was looking for a place to rest his tired body for a few days to try and figure out what went wrong. He stayed by our ponds in the daytime and roosted on our roof in the evening.
We learned a lot about racing pigeon's. Because Bill was able to get close enough to see the numbers on his band and feed him, we called the AU – the American Pigeon Racing Union. They were able to match the numbers to the owner. He lived in Louisville Kentucky and raced Radar 2 weeks ago. He got lost and ended up at our Bed & Breakfast, about 300 miles north of Louisville. The owner was not interested in driving here to pick him up so with the help of the AU we found Richard, another pigeon racer who lives about a 1/2 hour drive from us. He asked Bill to contain him so he could get him home. So, at midnight Bill climbed up the ladder to capture a very calm and non-resistant pigeon and place him in a 'Have a Heart Trap' for the night. Radar eventually found him way back to Kentucky when he was driven by another man who was racing in the area. He let him go when he got to Louisville and they were 100% confident that Radar would find his way home.
What a great story that he would pick a Bed & Breakfast for lodging and food.
I'll look forward to seeing you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast ——————————-

ST. LOUIS -- Even a week ago, the St. Louis Blues never imagined home-ice advantage was possible.
But after Saturday's 3-1 win against a makeshift Chicago Blackhawks squad at Scottrade Center, the Blues ended the regular season awaiting an opponent in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and they'll do it at home.
"Three weeks ago, we looked up and we were in ninth place ... and legit ninth place," said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock, whose team went 12-3-0 in April. "We were one game in hand on eighth, I think, but we were behind and then what did we go, 12-3?
"We earned this. We fought hard to get back in this and I think that reality check of waking up one morning and just assuming you're going to be in the playoffs and then all of the sudden, you're sitting there in ninth place is exactly what this team needed. The reality check of getting back to who we were had to come sooner or later. The right people for me took the team over and really established our checking mindset and when we started to win games 1-0, 1-0, I think the buy-in became a lot easier. But the right people needed to take the game over because we were halfway everywhere and not being very effective, but we really turned it around."
The game Saturday had a ton of meaning for the Blues, as a victory secured the fourth seed in the Western Conference and home-ice advantage in the opening round. They will host the Los Angeles Kings when the playoffs start next week.
The Blackhawks were playing with eight rookies in the lineup, many recalls from the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League, and the Blues took advantage.
Jaden Schwartz set the tone with the first two-goal game of his NHL career, Brian Elliott stopped 22 shots to give him a franchise-best 11 wins in the month of April, and David Backes added a pair of assists to give him 300 career points.
"Whether they got some of their guys in or not, they're going to work hard and you know they're going to come at us," Schwartz said of the Blackhawks. "You want to make sure we stick to our game plan, do the things that make us successful."
The Blues, who concluded the season 29-17-2, will get a chance to avenge a four-game sweep by the Kings in the Western Conference Semifinals last sprring.
The Blackhawks, who finished 36-7-5, won the Presidents' Trophy and will have home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, got a goal from Ben Smith. They finished 16-1-1 against Central Division foes, both losses coming at the hands of the Blues. Goalie Carter Hutton, who stopped 25 shots, and defensemen Shawn Lalonde and Ryan Stanton all made their NHL debuts.
"Some guys had some good games," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "It was nice to see a couple guys get their first NHL game, and they got better as the game went on."
Added Bryan Bickell, one of the regulars who did play: "With all the [regular] guys out and new guys in, I thought [the young guys] did a great job. We had to change our game a little bit, but there was a lot of hard work out there. [The Blues] were fighting for home ice, a few bounces here and there we could've had opportunities on. But they came out on top."
Patrik Berglund opened the scoring by knocking in the rebound of an Andy McDonald shot past Hutton 4:33 into the game. It was Berglund's 17th of the season.
The Blackhawks' younger skaters displayed some quality zone time and quick skating ability but were unable to solve Elliott, and Schwartz was able to give the Blues a 2-0 lead with 2:36 left in the opening period when he was on the doorstep and scooped the backhand of a Backes redirection past Hutton.
It was the kind of start the Blues needed to set the tempo and establish that the game meant much more to them.
"We don't want to give them any confidence off the bat," Schwartz said of Chicago. "We want to make sure we got a good start. We did a good job of that. We knew they didn't have their full lineup in, but they're still going to come to work and they want to win, too."
Schwartz added his second of the game when he and Backes used a nifty little give-and-go play and Schwartz was able to slide a backhand between Hutton's pads with one of those rookies [Drew LeBlanc] applying pressure 8:39 into the second period for a 3-0 lead.
Smith scored his fourth career goal when his snap shot from the top of the left circle beat Elliott 8:23 into the third period off a feed from Jeremy Morin.
Elliott finished April 11-2-0 with a 1.28 goals-against average, a .948 save percentage and three shutouts after starting the season 3-6-1 with a 3.65 GAA and .851 save percentage. It was quite the turnaround for him, just like the team.
"I don't think any of us really looked back or even sat back and really soaked it in," Elliott said. "I don't think we will. We really don't have time for that. I think we needed what we needed to do to give ourselves the best chance. That's what good teams do. I think we can only build on that and just keep going."

OKEMOS (WILX)--A simple 20 minute screening can be the difference between life or death for some athletes.
Cardiac abnormalities are the most common cause of sudden death in high school sports. As a preventive measure the McLaren Cardiovascular Group opened its doors Saturday for local students to give free tests. The tests normally cost $40 dollars and consist of a blood pressure test, EKG, and sometimes a heart ultrasound.
Mother of three very active athletes, Paula Manderfield brought her kids in to get some peace of mind.
"You read stories about sudden cardiac arrest and students dying after a swim meet or basketball game. You think gosh, what if that's my kid," said Manderfield.
Their family has a history of heart problems, that's why Manderfeild's daughter got a heart ultrasound.
"When we do the echo or ultra sound. We are looking for any thickening of the heart valves, thickening of the heart muscle, or abnormalities of the function of the heart. The ultrasound shows us if there is anything that could have been wrong from birth," said Cardiologist Dr. Paul Zack.
A sudden cardiac arrest in high school athletes is fairly uncommon. According to the American Heart Association there is one death per one hundred thousand athletes in the U.S. But every so often Dr. Zack will find an abnormality.
"200 students have gone through each year. During that time there's only been a handful that required further evaluation and additional heart tests," said Zack.
As an adult getting your blood pressure checked is normal routine when you go to see the doctor. But for adolescents it's not as common. That's why something as simple as getting your child's blood pressure taken can help detect if they have any heart problems.
"Every once in a while we find a young athlete that has a elevated blood pressure that would require further evaluation or treatment," said Zack.
All three of Manderfield's children were told they had healthy hearts. So mom can stop worrying now and push her kids to be the best.
"I'll push them and say, Go! Run faster! And I will know that they are not going to drop dead," said Manderfield.

The Summit Reads planning committee chose the "The Blue Revolution," by Cynthia Barnett, for this spring's Summit Reads community project. The book exposes truths about the U.S. water crisis - how Americans use more water than any other culture in the world and how our daily habits and attitudes jeopardize the world's water supply - and is particularly relevant in light of the dwindling Dillon Reservoir. The first step is to read the book, which will be available at Summit County Libraries and The Next Page Bookstore in Frisco. Those interested in hosting an event or leading a discussion on the book this spring should contact Jen Miller at email@example.com.

I have a problem with 3D subtitles when I'm using ps3mediaserver.
I download 2D sub and convert it to 3D with 3Dsubtitler, but the thing is when I watch it on my ps3 the subtitle flashes one time before it appears on my screen. And that is really annoying.
When I watch the movie on my pc with VLC there is no problem, but when I watch it on my ps3 there is.
I hope someone can help me with this.

The following is an excerpt from our 2011 Annual Report.
There are a variety of ways to define the health of a community. Gifford often defines it in terms of physical wellness. But a hospital as a local employer also impacts a region's economic health.
"The economic health of our community is tied to the stability and health of its institutions as well as its individuals. Gifford provides both health services for area residents and a broad range of employment opportunities in our community," notes Julie Iffland, executive director of the Randolph Area Community Development Corp.
The U.S. Department of Labor ranks Gifford 29th in the state among the 50 largest employers. A second ranking by Vermont Business Magazine places Gifford at 42nd in Vermont for number of full-time employees. (The difference between the two rankings is that U.S. Department of Labor data does not tally businesses with multiple sites, like Shaw's supermarkets. Instead locations are counted separately affecting overall employee
Of Gifford's total 589 full and part-time employees, 98 percent live in Vermont, including 71 percent who live in what the hospital deems its primary service area, where they are likely paying taxes, using services and shopping.
Drive by Gifford at lunchtime and the economic impact is evident. Employees regularly trek into town to run errands and to shop.
In fiscal year 2011, Gifford spent more than $5.5 million with vendors in 99 Vermont towns, including more than $1.1 million spent in Randolph alone.
The Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems estimates that its member hospitals directly provide more than 15,000 jobs in Vermont, injecting more than $309 million into state government programs (through tax payments and the like) and generating more than $1.79 billion in total economic impact in Vermont in 2009 dollars.
But Gifford's impact goes beyond simple buying and spending, notes Ben Merrill, Randolph Area Chamber of Commerce executive director. "Gifford is not only a great employer, but a great neighbor," says Ben. He points to hospital facilities and recent renovation projects, like the Kingwood Health Center on the Route 66 corridor and a house on Highland Avenue in the downtown.
"Everything Gifford touches is better," Ben says, calling these projects, while fairly small in size, huge in impact. "Improvement projects like these transform entire neighborhoods."
Gifford is also in many ways a community center. "Gifford has opened its doors to the community. It's a very warm and welcoming place," he says, pointing to the active Conference Center and catering service as an example.
Having a strong medical center further enhances the area overall, causing a multiplier effect in the community.
"When people look to relocate to an area, to have a medical center, an all-inclusive medical center, that's a big draw," Ben says. "Employers like Gifford attract people who will come and stay and make their own investment in the community."

Finding a natural solution
by Stephanie Nelson
oahu, hawaii, power outage, blackout, black friday
The day after Thanksgiving is commonly referred to as "Black Friday." However, the day after Christmas also adapted the term this year, as Christmas fell on Thursday and stores slashed prices the following Friday.
On the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Black Friday came again: the entire island of was without power for roughly 12 hours starting shortly after sunset at 6:30 p.m.
My family and I ate our last dinner together before heading to the airport. On the way there, my cousin, Derek, noticed the lights flicker, and eventually the power went out. We found each other through our fingertips as the whole island fell into darkness. Scrambling for candles, lights, flashlights and batteries, we huddled around cell phones and attempted to call the airlines as a last ditch effort to return to Maui. The systems were flooded with calls. We had to stay another night in the dark with our batteries and hand-operated radios.
Inflatable snowmen and holiday lights fell silent. Game consoles were left untouched. There was no low humming from the microwave reheating holiday leftovers. An uneasy feeling crept over the island as a few hotel generators in Waikiki defined the shoreline.
I wondered in the darkness and realized how dependent I am on power—from my computer and cell phone to the lights throughout the house.
The blackout was a refreshing glimpse into life without power, although a bit extreme at times. With my power hungry guilt, there are things that I have changed since that night, such as using more candles and reducing my dependence on the refrigerator by eating different foods. Rather than drying my close in the dryer, I have switched to hang drying them, which will reduce my energy bill by roughly $140 annually.
Now it is your turn: What energy reduction strategies do you practice in your life?

Saturday's letters: Get serious
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 1, 2013 at 4:12 p.m.
To the editor: I am writing to complain about an egregious misprint in a recent edition of the Times-News. You had an article about Ohio Gov. John Kasich actually taking Christs admonition to care for the poor and disadvantaged seriously in regard to Medicaid.
Whoever heard of a Republican politician caring about the poor? If you cant accurately get your facts straight, were done with your newspaper.
Bob Johnson
Peace Corps
To the editor: This week has been is U.S. Peace Corps Week. I am pleased to share how grateful I was to serve in the Peace Corps with my husband, Paul, as mature volunteers.
From 1999-2001 in a small town in Ukraine, we taught conversational English at different high schools. Having both come from different professions and backgrounds, you can imagine the beginning was a challenge!
We were there the planned two years, teaching and helping wherever and whenever possible. It was a time we learned, cared and shared with many others we will never forget. Since then, our students have blossomed, attending universities and higher learning institutions. One now works in Norway after obtaining his masters there, another is just finishing up a Muskie program scholarship at Penn State Law School, and many others are successful. We are still in touch with some families and are kept up-to-date with the struggles they face daily.
From my experience, I see the Peace Corps volunteers worldwide making a definite difference in so many lives, not just when abroad but when they return home. One cannot stop caring and sharing when the commitment time is up it continues in our lives and hearts forever.
Felicity Gatchell
Second party
To the editor: 1. As a history teacher, I know that from 1932 to now, Democrats have controlled one or both houses of Congress 80 percent of the time; this means they controlled writing tax laws 80 percent of the time. The party of the common man created the loopholes for the rich; stop with the con job.
2. Regarding Republicans, their problem is quite simple and long term: (a) The public wants a two-party system; (b) they have always distrusted the Republicans; (c) the distrust is about Republicans not being the second distinct party; (d) why vote for wannabe Democrats when you can vote for the real thing; (e) Republicans dont fight for what they claim to believe in; they seem almost above such fighting; they also dont fight by the same rules as the Democrats.
3. The future for Republicans is simple: The nonsense about people being turned off by negative campaigning has not ever cost the Democrats. I contend that people will vote for you if you show them you want their vote. Fight for my vote or go away. Be the second distinct party or go away. The 40 percent who dont vote are looking for a party to believe in.
Jim Griffin
TV advertising
To the editor: Watching television was once an enjoyable time; but now advertising has begun to overtake the good shows. Now 10 minutes of TV time today generally includes four minutes of advertising, and the advertising is sometimes created by computer geniuses who are more intent on showing their computer skills than creating quality advertisement.
A happy gecko sells insurance, modern-day cavemen promote a bank, and computer wizards are more excited about showing their computer abilities, which often dont have much to do with what they are selling. Lawyers use the TV to advertise their multitude of lawsuits they can file so they can make more money, at your expense. Now individuals can sell their $50 inventions for $19.99 and with a but wait, you can get two for one. Senators and congressmen often display their ignorance by expressing their opinions on TV. What? Why arent they in Washington?
Oh well, thank God for Encore TV; I love it.

TAHOE, Calif. - Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows are embarking on year two of their friendly competition to raise money for Project MANA, a Truckee/North Lake Tahoe hunger relief organization.

Rev. Jamie Coots, Co-Star of 'Snake Salvation,' Dies After Snakebite
The Rev. Jamie Coots, 42, one of two serpent-handling Pentecostal preachers who starred last fall in the National Geographic Channel's reality TV show "Snake Salvation," often admitted during the 16-part series that one of the poisonous reptiles he handled might be the death of him.
This past Saturday night, one was.
While handling snakes during a regular Saturday night service at his church, the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus' Name, in Middlesboro, Ky., the pastor was bitten on his right hand by a rattlesnake.
Less than two hours later, he was dead.
Emergency crews were called to the church at 8:24 p.m., according to Middlesboro police, but Coots had already been taken to his nearby home.
An ambulance crew and police went to Coots' home and tried to talk the family into getting medical help. Many serpent-handlers do not believe in getting medical help for snake bites, believing that either God will heal them or it's their time to die.
Middlesboro Police Chief Jeff Sharpe, who went to the pastor's home, said Coots – who was unconscious – had been placed on his favorite chair and was surrounded by a houseful of family and church members. The pastor's wife, Linda Coots, and his son, Cody, 21, signed a form waiving medical treatment.
"He'd already said before they took him home that he didn't want to be treated," Sharpe said. "He'd made his feelings very, very clear about what should happen if he was bit." Officers left the house at 9:10 p.m., he said, and less than an hour later, they were summoned a second time. Coots had died.
"He was dear to our hearts and an elder brother in the Gospel," said Paul Gray, an evangelist living 57 miles away in London, Ky., who rushed to the Coots' home Saturday night after he heard of the bite. "He died for what he believed in."
Andrew Hamblin, 22, a Tennessee pastor who co-starred with Coots in the series, posted on Facebook a request for prayer at 2 a.m. Sunday.
"I was there for the last service with him," Hamblin wrote. "He was like a dad to me." Publicity from the show got Hamblin into trouble with Tennessee wildlife officials, who charged him on Nov. 7, soon after the show ended, with unlawful possession of wildlife. On Jan. 8, a grand jury refused to indict Hamblin, clearing him of all charges.
Coots was with Hamblin during his court appearances and tributes poured in all day Sunday on the Facebook page of the genial, bald-headed pastor. Coots' page had mushroomed to 2,685 'friends' after 'Snake Salvation' ran. At one point, a note apparently from Cody Coots asked for funds.
"Dad passed away yesterday," the note read. "I miss him so much and love him. Please pray for us. We have no life insurance on him. If any one has anything to give, help would be greatly appreciated. RIP dad. I … hope to see you on the other side one day."
A support page for the Coots family had 1,208 "likes" by Sunday night.
A National Geographic spokeswoman said Sunday the network is planning a tribute about Coots and released a statement mourning his death.
"In following Pastor Coots for our series Snake Salvation, we were constantly struck by his devout religious convictions despite the health and legal peril he often faced," it said. "Those risks were always worth it to him and his congregants as a means to demonstrate their unwavering faith."
One of the network's former producers posted a requiem on Facebook Sunday afternoon.
"I had the honor of working with Pastor Coots when casting "Snake Salvation for National Geographic," said Lisa Blake, now vice president of development at MY Tupelo Entertainment. "What a great, great man of God who lived and died by his beliefs. He will be missed."
Coots is not the first handler to die of snake bite at his church. In August 1995, Melinda Brown, 28, the mother of five children, died after she was fatally bitten by a black timber rattlesnake. Coots spoke with the Journal in early 2012 about why he continued handling snakes even though he'd been bitten six times at that point. The hand on which he was bitten was already missing a part of a finger due to a past rattle snake bite.
"You feel that anointing and then the Lord speaks to your heart telling you what to do. It is a feeling of power, but it is a feeling of peace," he said then. "You're in your body and you know what you're doing and you can't control it. There is such a power coming over you and you are obedient to the Spirit of God and you compelled to do what He tells you and you know it will be all right."
The fatal bite on Saturday was Coots' ninth, according to his son.
Coots said in a Nov. 9 interview that his earnings from "Snake Salvation" had been mostly spent and so he had gotten a part-time job as a school bus driver. "Snake Salvation" had brought visitors to his church, he said, but not much in the way of permanent members.
"I have close to 2000 friends now," he said of his Facebook page. "A lot of people have requested prayer and we have sent prayer cloths out. And [the show] has enlightened them to what our church is about. We have visitors come from time to time, as high as 15 visitors on Saturday nights.
National Geographic had told him the ratings were too low for a second season, he said, adding, "I talked to one of the executive producers who said 'I know people are watching but not the people with the Nielson boxes on the back of their TVs.' I knew there as lots and lots of people watching. It didn't seem to me they gave it as much advertising as they should have. They thought it was something really huge. But non-Christians don't want to watch something like that. Mainstream religions don't want to watch it. It seemed like it fizzled out pretty quick."

11gR2 Flashback Guaranteed Restore Point without enabling Flashback logging
By AndyBaker on Apr 17, 2013
Plenty has been documented and published regarding flashback database since the first implementation in Oracle 10g. However little is documented regarding using flashback restore points in Oracle when the flashback logging (flashback off) is not enabled.
At a client site flashback logging was turned off as a feature due to performance implications, in 11gR2 it is a dynamic online feature that you can now turn flashback on and off without a database bounce. A situation arose and questions were asked regarding the use of guaranteed restore points and flashback logging for testing purposes.
For reference this paper gives a short summary and example of the Oracle documentation:

SAN RAMON -- Jack Barton will become the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District's interim fire chief starting Jan. 1.
Barton replaces retiring fire chief Richard Price. Barton, the district's current operations chief, will serve until a permanent chief is selected, San Ramon Valley Fire District Board president Matthew Stamey said in a news release.
Barton joined San Ramon Valley Fire in 1992 and has held ranks of firefighter, engineer, captain, and battalion chief.
"Chief Barton has the skill set and institutional knowledge to lead the fire district through this transitional time," Stamey said in a statement. "He has full support from the board and the entire agency; he is exceptionally well-qualified."
Barton also has a journalism degree from CSU San Diego, and is a certified chief fire officer, with credentials from the state fire marshal.
Price's retirement is effective Dec. 31. The district's board began recruitment in November, and according to Stamey, is currently reviewing applications. A permanent replacement will be named early next year.
