2.1 Einsatzgruppe A
2.1.1For three of the four commandos subordinate to the EG A, mass executions of Jewish men can be demonstrated in the first days and weeks after the beginning of the war: - The EK 1b shot 1150 Jewish men in Dvinsk at the beginning of July, after they had been arrested by Lithuanian auxiliary forces which had been "strengthened in their work by the activities of the EK."45 - After the pogrom in Riga, over 2000 further Jews were killed "partially by the Lithuanian auxiliary police and partially by our own men"46 in the period up to the middle of July, 1941, as reported by the EK2. In Mitau, a unit of the EK 2 - supposedly in the first half of July - shot about 160 Jews, among them women and children.47
2.1.2- The EK 3 organised mass executions of Jewish men from the beginning of July48 in the military base of Kovno. The Leader of the Commando, Jäger, reported on 1 December 1941 that the executions, which had been taking place since 4 July in Fort VII of the Kovno base, had been carried out "upon my orders and my command by the Lithuanian Partisans"49; the victims, according to Jäger's count, numbered 2530 Jewish men and 47 women. Three days later, according to Jäger, a group of men of his Commando began mass executions also outside of Kovno "together with the Lithuanian partisans"50 in which 1400 people, mostly Jewish men were murdered.
2.1.3The EG A were helped by a Commando which was formed from members of the SD and the Gestapo in the German border town of Tilsit and which was known as "Einsatzkommando Tilsit". This Commando also shot mostly Jewish men in the period directly following upon the onset of the war: on 24, 25 and 27 June they executed 201, 214 and 111 civilians in the area beyond the border of Lithuania, in the villages of Garsden, Krottingen and Polangen respectively. This shooting, mostly of Jewish men was carried out in "retribution" for supposed civilian attacks upon the approaching units.51
2.1.4In the following days, the "EK Tilsit" carried on further "cleansing operations" in the border areas, for example on 2 July in Tauroggen, on 3 July in Georgenburg and in Augustovo and in Mariampol and Vladislav52, in which altogether 3302 people were shot, according to the event report of 18 July.53 For the entire month of July, further executions by the commandos, especially of Jewish men, can be documented in varied places.54 The fact that in later reports on No. 465). Streim, SWCA, p. 6, pp. 333ff. executions in this area only the murder of women, older men and children were noted - not however the murder of men of draft age - is an indication that in fact all Jewish men of this age group had been murdered in the first wave of executions.55
2.1.5The executions were granted full endorsement by Reichsführer SS, Himmler, as well as by the Chief of the Security Police, Heydrich. From a teletype message from the Gestapo postal station in Tilsit, dated 1 July, it emerges that Himmler and Heydrich visited the border areas and were informed about the "measures" which had been implemented and approved them "completely".56
2.1.6A few days later, Heydrich expressly confirmed - in a written order - that the executions of the EK Tilsit corresponded to his directions: in an order dated 4 July he explained to the Einsatzgruppen Chief that he had granted permission for commanders of the Security Police and the SD as well as for police stations (Staatspolizeistellen) "to carry out cleansing operations in the areas bordering upon the territories which had been newly occupied in order to relieve the Einsatzgruppen and commandos, and especially, to secure their mobility.57

Arizona basketball alum Sean Rooks applauds his son Kameron's choice of attending Cal next season.
And he revealed that Kameron has grown to nearly 7-foot-1.
"He's 7-foot, 3/4 of an inch," Sean Rooks said. "He's like a weed. Every time he comes around it seems like he's getting bigger and bigger."
Sean Rooks played for Lute Olson at Tucson, but said he's thrilled with Kameron's decision to join Mike Montgomery's program in Berkeley.
"I have the utmost respect for coach Montgomery," said Rooks, who averaged 11.6 points at Arizona from 1989 through '92, when Montgomery was coaching at Stanford clubs. "They were our No. 1 rival. He always had classy, well-coached teams.
"I had a good father in coach Olson, but he was like the father across the street," Rooks said of Montgomery. "My son can't be playing for any better coach. He's going to get the University of California education and Cal is one of my secret favorite places."
Kameron Rooks announced via Twitter on Tuesday that he will play for Cal next season, joining a recruiting class that also includes four-star prospect Jabari Bird of Salesian-Richmond. Rooks also had offers from Arizona and Arizona State.
Asked how his Arizona friends responded to Kameron's decision, Sean Rooks said, "My best comeback is I'm loyal to my alma later, but it's 110 percent my son first."
Rated a three-star prospect out of Mission Hills High in San Marcos, Rooks doesn't yet understand his potential, according to his father.
"He hasn't really tapped into understanding exactly what kind of player he is," said Sean, who played 11 NBA seasons. "Right now, he has a really big body, a good mindset for the game, great hands. He sees the floor well and he's a very unselfish player."
Sean Rooks said his son may need to drop a few of his 280 pounds, but provides the Bears with a throwback big man.
"I think he's rare. There's tall people, but there's not a lot of big bodies," Sean Rooks said. "Big guys are late bloomers. Once he starts understanding how strong he is and starts to develop, he's going to be an excellent player."

Though its trailers and poster suggest that "The American" is an action-packed spy thriller, those expecting a film in the vein of Jason Bourne are sure to be disappointed. Instead, star George Clooney's latest is moody, contemplative, and slow burning-- think "The Bourne Identity" as filtered through the eyes of some Euro art house auteur.
The story is simple. Irish American Clooney plays the titular operative (Jack), a professional assassin with a special knack for constructing custom weaponry. Fresh off an assignment that almost ended in his death, Jack is relocated to a quiet Italian village where he is tasked with assembling a special rifle for another assassin. Along the way he meets a prostitute with whom he falls in love and decides that his most recent assignment will be the last. Naturally, complications ensue.
Though it may sound like a conventional thriller, "The American" is anything but. Beautifully shot by director Anton Corbijn, the film moves slowly and deliberately as it examines the soul of a man who kills for a living. The dialogue is sparse, the score unobtrusive, and the violence utterly void of stylization. The film is a spy movie made for the art house crowd-- a somber, melancholy character piece receiving a wide release solely because of Clooney's name above the title.
"The American" is certainly not for everyone. Many will find the pacing and lack of action to be on the boring side. If that's the case, go see Stallone's "The Expendables" (at 63, that man stills knows how to make one hell of a crowd pleaser). That being said, if you find yourself in the mood for a quieter, more thoughtful alternative to most of what's out at the moment, "The American" is certainly worth the trip.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Senior Myeisha Myles and sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks paced the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team (4-9) with double-digit scoring efforts but the Islanders couldn't overcome Indiana University's (5-8) second-half shooting, falling 80-58, Tuesday night at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind.
After a nine-day break for the holidays, the Islanders returned to action against Big Ten foe Indiana. Myles powered the Islanders with her seventh double-digit scoring game with 19 points and grabbed five boards. Anderson-Sparks scored her fifth double-digit scoring game with 11 points in her fourth start of the season and pulled down a season-high seven rebounds. Junior Jessica Jammer chipped in nine points and five rebounds and junior Verne'qua Taylor dished out seven assists.
Indiana was propelled by three players in double-digit scoring and shot 42.0 percent from the field (29-69) including 7-of-21 from three-point land. Jasmine McGhee led the Hoosiers with 19 points, Quaneisha McCurty added 17 points, including 3-of-5 from behind the arc and pulled down eight boards. Sasha Chaplin chipped in 12 points and seven reboards. Indiana outrebounded the Islanders 51-47 and scored 36 bench points to the Islanders 15.
The Hoosiers jumped out to a 4-0 lead to open the game, before Myles hit her first jumper of the game. Indiana extended the lead to 16-4 at the 14-minute mark with a 10-0 run before the Islanders answered with a 6-0 run by buckets by Taylor, Anderson-Sparks and Jammer to get within five with 11:14 left in the half.
The Islanders cut the lead to four with under five minutes left in the half. Jammer hit her first three of the game and Myles added a jumper while she and the Hoosiers' McGhee traded buckets back-and-forth until Myles jumper cut the lead to four with 4:40 to play.
Brandi Huff's layup and Anderson Spark's second three-pointer of the half brought the Islanders within two with three minutes left in the half but the Hoosiers held on to the lead with a 10-4 run to end the half up 37-29.
Indiana's hot shooting continued as they shot 40.6 percent in the second half. Out of the locker room the Hoosiers went on a 12-5 run to pad the lead to 49-34. After trading buckets back-and-forth Indiana went on a 16-2 run to take a 70-44 lead with under eight minutes to play.
The Islanders answered with a 6-0 run jumpstarted by junior Alisa Roberts' jumper and Myles layup from Anderson-Sparks. Roberts free throw cut the deficit to 70-49 with 6:36 to play.
The Hoosiers took a 37-29 halftime lead. Myles and Anderson-Sparks led the Islanders with eight points apiece and Jammer added seven. The Islanders led the Hoosiers in the paint and scored six second chance points to Indiana's two. The Hoosiers led the boards 26-23 behind Andrea Newbauer's six boards. Indiana shot 38.5 percent (5-of-13) from three-point land and McGhee led with a game-high 13 points at the half.
The Islanders will open the New Year on Saturday, Jan. 7 against McNeese State in Lake Charles, La. to begin Southland Conference action. Tip-off is slated for 1 p.m.

The din and bustle created by the entire student body thronging the halls of Summit Cove Elementary Thursday night echoed that found in actual markets and mercados throughout the world.
This marked the second year for the project, dreamed up and organized by Kathy Langley, which not only creates a fun experience for the students but also raises money for philanthropic causes. Last year, the school raised $3,000 and donated it to local charities. This year, the money raised will be split three ways, going to the Summit County animal shelter, to Breckenridge doctor C. Louis "PJ" Perrinjaquet, who travels to impoverished locations throughout the world to offer his services, and to the Summit Cove green team.
"What's important for me is for the kids to see how they can affect their world," Langley said.
The evening started out with a concert, each grade group singing its own song in the Spanish language. Afterwards, everyone streamed out of the gymnasium and set up their mercado shops along the edges of the hallways. They stretched colorful blankets out on the floor, spreading out their wares. Those coming in to the school bought tickets, which could then be used to purchase various arts and crafts made by the students, as well as food, both dinner and snacks.
The temperature rose quickly in the hallway as lines went up to four or five people deep. Some students roamed up and down, shouting out their wares, while others sat cross-legged on their blankets and managed their ever-dwindling supplies.
"They're really into it," said Booka Smith, whose daughter Phoebe joined forces with her classmates Ali Moran and Scarlett Murphy. "They pooled their money and came up with their ideas."
The girls used duct tape to create their crafts - colorful bracelets, headbands and Frisbees, among other things. When her mother asked where she and her friends had come up with the idea for their items, Phoebe responded matter-of-factly, "Just out of our minds."
The variety of booths and sellers seemed to intrigue the students as well. Second-grader Jack Schierholz said his favorite part was, "The buying and the selling and seeing what everybody has to sell."
Fifth-grader Gracee Long held down a booth at the end of the hall and waxed thoughtful about the experience.
"Dr. PJ travels around the world to help people. I think it's good to raise money for that," she said, hardly pausing as she exchanged tickets for bracelets over the table. Her favorite part? "I like looking at other people's stuff," she said. "It's really cool to see what other people made or bought."
Langley said she would definitely classify this year's mercado as a success, with an approximate 600 peole in attendance.
"Our community is getting more diverse and it's bringing out people who might not otherwise come out. It's really bringing our community together," she said. As for the students, "They all set up, they all brought their own blankets. They did their own thing. I'm very proud of them."

Student Represents UMass at National Collegiate Security Conference
By Maire Callanan '14
At the end of October Ritika Bhakhri '14 (political science/legal studies) attended the 41st annual National Collegiate Security Conference (NCSC) with over 500 of the nation's best collegiate Model United Nations delegates. This Model UN Conference was presented by the Georgetown International Relations Association, a non-profit in Washington, D.C., that educates global leaders in international affairs through interactive learning. Collegiate delegates at NCSC represent people, groups, political parties, countries and regions in simulations of international political forums.
After a competitive application process, Bhakhri was selected by the UMass International Relations Club to attend the weekend conference. "I saw this as a perfect opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills that I have acquired in the classroom to debate on real life issues that we face as an international society," Bhakhri says.
In fact, the NCSC is designed to give students the opportunity to apply knowledge they have acquired in the classroom and through personal studies to realistic debates on key international issues. Delegates participate in Model UN Conferences, acting as their assigned personae and defending their positions against those of their peers from other educational institutions.
Bhakhri was assigned to be Bougerra Soltani from the Movement of Society for Peace Party in Algeria. With guidance from the International Relations Club advisor, Professor MJ Peterson, Bhakari combined material she learned in Peterson's international law course and research she conducted on the topic to successfully represent Soltani.
Delegates also work together to draft policies relating to the economy, healthcare, minority relations, foreign policy and the judicial system. For Bhakhri, the most memorable part of the conference was collaborating with individuals from across the country in drafting a new constitution for Egypt after the revolution. "NCSC is an exciting opportunity to learn about international issues facing the world...in an intellectually stimulating environment," Bhakhri says.
Maire Callanan '14, who is majoring in legal studies and Spanish, is a member of Commonwealth Honors College.

Connecting Patients, Families, and Advocates
Week in Review: The Many Voices of Biopharmaceutical Collaboration
10.11.13 | By
Every day, our industry strives to connect patients, families and advocates from across the globe who share our common goals of preventing diseases, improving health and saving lives. Those strong voices of innovators and stakeholders working tirelessly to address pressing medical challenges, and many medical breakthroughs wouldn't be possible today or in the future without them.
On Thursday, our president and CEO John Castellani spotlighted the importance of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), which has greatly expedited review times for new treatments over the past 20 years, helping patients gain access to more than 1,500 new drugs and biologics. Recapping last week's "Conversations" question, Castellani highlighted the commitment to continue to work with stakeholders and the FDA to build on the progress of the implementation of the PDUFA V. Ultimately, the law will allow for greater input from patients and a more efficient drug approval process.
Also on the Catalyst, Guest blogger Steve Pasierb cited the importance of public-private partnerships to help improve the lives of Americans. As the CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org, Pasierb helped launch The Medicine Abuse Project, which aims to prevent abuse of both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medicines by young adults and provide free resources for those in need. With the help of teachers, doctors and community leaders, among many other advocates, The Medicine Abuse Project can raise much needed awareness in local communities across the country. Together a difference can be made.
Collaboration is especially important to individuals and organizations working to drive greater awareness of the need for rare disease treatment and research. With more than 450 medicines in development for rare diseases, this week on our "Conversations" forum we sought to elevate the voices of the rare disease community and learn more about their priorities and hopes for the future. Our CEO posed the following question:
"On 10/17, PhRMA will host a Twitter chat session around the subject of medicines in development for rare diseases. What are the shared priorities and interests of the diverse rare disease community that should be discussed in the Tweetchat?"
Some of our experts noted that the word "rare" should not hold us back. While a rare disease diagnosis can be isolating for patients and their families, there is a broad and interconnected network working together to find treatments and improve the lives of the 30 million Americans living with a rare disease.
To continue this critically important conversation, we encourage you to join our Tweetchat Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. EST using the hashtags #RarePOV and #RareDisease, and be sure to follow fellow blogger, Tweeter and rare disease patient @SDFatPhRMA. You can also visit The Catalyst regularly to learn about more topics that impact millions of families across the globe. We look forward to your ongoing comments, ideas and feedback.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- It might not have been a knockout punch, but the 9-8 victory the A's scratched out over the Rangers on Friday night at least was a kick in the shins that will have Texas limping down the stretch in the American League West.
Oakland expanded its lead in the division to 41/2 games by winning the first of the three-game series, holding off a furious late rush by the Rangers, who were down by seven runs entering the eighth inning.
The A's managed to gift Dan Straily with his 10th victory, his fourth consecutive win in a game played in Texas-style heat and in a postseason time frame. The game lasted four hours, nine minutes.
There are 15 games left in the A's season, 16 for the Rangers. It's not impossible for Texas to track down Oakland, but right now it's the A's who are surging and the Rangers who are hearing boos in Rangers Ballpark -- or at least they were for the first seven innings.
"I think this gives us the momentum going into tomorrow," Sean Doolittle said. The left-handed reliever got the final four outs for his second save, but he needed the help of a strong throw from left fielder Yoenis Cespedes and a fortunate umpire's call to close it out.
Umpire Andy Fletcher called Alex Rios out trying to go from first to third on a single to end the eighth inning. The Rangers had scored six times in the inning to erase most of a 9-2 lead. Rios had been a big part of that with a two-run single. The momentum was with Texas right to that point, and Rios was irate at being called out on a very close play and wound up being ejected.
"I've always heard about the crazy games that get played here," Straily said. "Any time we play, neither side is going to take an at-bat off."
Texas, down 9-2 in the sixth, mounted a comeback in the eighth, but that mostly had to do with three walks issued by Oakland pitchers, one of whom, Brett Anderson, came out of the game with back spasms. The left-hander said that he thought it might be a hydration problem due to the heat (92 degrees) and humidity of Rangers Ballpark.
Once the eighth inning was in the books, the A's could be expected to go to Grant Balfour to close it out. But with Doolittle having thrown just two pitches and with the Rangers having used all of their most potent right-handed hitters, A's manager Bob Melvin stuck with Doolittle.
The left-hander got two quick strikeouts, was touched for a two-out double, then struck out Jurickson Profar looking to end the game.
So for all the might of the Rangers' six-run rally, they lost and are 2-9 in September. The A's, who were two games behind Texas when the month started, are 9-3 in September and are in the position they want to be in.
A year ago, they were chasing the Rangers, ultimately successfully. Now they are the ones being chased.
"This is what we've worked all season for," Doolittle said, "to be in the driver's seat. What we learned last year is that nothing is safe until you've played 162 games.
"We can't say on Sept. 13 that 41/2 games is enough. They (the Rangers) will put the heat on."
Oakland put the heat on early. Cespedes hit a three-run homer in the first, Josh Donaldson smacked a solo shot in the third, and Brandon Moss added a homer in the sixth to push the score to 9-2. It seemed like it was more than enough to put the Rangers away, but that was wrong. It was just enough.

Nina Bratchikova (RUS) & Alexandra Cadantu (ROU) def. Jennifer Brady & Chalena Scholl (USA), 6-3, 7-6 (10-8).
"You had the whole court," she said to no one in particular after she hit a ball into the net on a drop shot attempt during the first set of her 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over American Madison Brengle Wednesday in the second round of The Oaks Club $50,000 Women's Pro Circuit Event.
"Be aggressive, Sharon," she piped up in the second set when she and Brengle were tied at 3 games a piece and her ball placement seemed to be failing her a little bit.
It might seem odd to some, but to each her own, says Fichman, who has used the self pep talks to pump herself up during matches.
It certainly bothered Brengle, who kept muttering how annoying Fichman was being.
"Sometimes I don't realize that I'm doing it," said Fichman, the 126th ranked player in the world who won the Oaks Club tournament in 2009.
"I guess I'm just pretty competitive and I'm the type of person who wears my heart on my sleeve. I'm sorry that it bothered her."
Throughout the years, much has been said about noises made by professional female tennis players, Maria Sharapova in particular.
She grunts quite loudly during serves, returns and when she wins big points, as does Serena Williams and Sara Errani, whose grunts were categorized by Business Insider as sounding like something from the "street fighter" video game.
Fichman makes noises, too. She sounds like she's saying "ah-guy" whenever she serves or returns a serve and yelps when she wins a big point.
She beat Brengle by mixing it up in the second set, placing the ball well, particularly on drop shots, and battling back in a third set that had some solid rallies and good baseline work by Bengle.
"Usually I try to mix it up but she was playing really well, hitting the ball really well," said Fichman, whose legs started to cramp up late in the third.
"I just fought hard."
Fichman will play Russia's Olga Puchkova in the quarterfinals today around noon. Puchkova, the fifth seed in the tournament, beat Kazakhstan's Sesil Karatantcheva, 7-6 (7), 6-2, Wednesday.
Puchkova is one of only four of the eight top seeds who remain in the tournament. Lucie Hradecka, the top seed who is ranked No. 54 in the world, retired in the third set of her match Wednesday against Columbia's Catalina Castano because of an undisclosed injury.
Andrea Hlavackova, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, beat American Chiara Scholl, 6-2, 6-0, to advance and France's Pauline Parmentier, the sixth seed, was a 6-2, 6-1 winner of Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva.
No. 4 Arantxa Rus, the defending champion, was edged out by Columbian Mariana Duque-Marino, 6-1, 6-0, and No. 8 Melanie Oudin, an American, lost to Spain's Estrella Cabeza-Candela, 6-0, 6-4.
American Jill Craybas, Russian Marta Sirotkina and Slovakia's Jana Cepelova also advanced to the quarterfinals.

Giving the gift of life this Valentine's Day, now that 18 people die each day on the national organ donor waiting list. Organ donation is certainly something to consider and there are some loopholes in the system News 12 hopes to clear up.
Organ donation is definitely a big decision. There are 1,700 people waiting for a call in Georgia alone. Ultimately it's up to your family, once you die, to make the final call.
"My son Byron Williams, a fun loving guy, compassionate, son, brother and friend," said Johnetta Williams.
Johnetta Williams knows all about her son's infectious smile and his tendency to spread the joy. Like, one day, she linked up with a group called Life Link.
"I began my relationship with Life Link on September 11, 1998, and that's the date of Byron's death," Williams said.
Life Link coordinates organ donations for patients in Georgia. Some of Byron's bone tissue and his corneas were donated to others.
"So somewhere Byron is still looking at all of us and that smile is still there," Williams said.
For Johnetta, the decision to donate makes sense but others wrestle with it.
"It is the family's decision so your family would get to make that choice for you. So it's important right then and there in a hospital room exactly what you would want," said Gloria Dossett, Life Link.
But what about those organ donor stamps in the corner of some driver's licenses?
"In the state of Georgia, the driver's license is an indicator of one's wishes but it's not a legally binding document, so again it's very important that your next of kin knows what you would have wanted," Dossett said.
"Knowing that a part of them goes on that somewhere a grandparents can hold their child to their breast and hear that heartbeat or look out at the spring flowers and it's all because the family said yes," Williams said.
So what if you want to be an organ donor? The most important thing is to tell your family, your wife, your parents, your next of kin. It's not something we necessarily want to talk about, but it is important to avoid any confusion. There's no need to put it in a will, because that would take days to get to. The family must be able to give a relatively quick answer, yes or no.

North Carolina politician writes resignation letter in Klingon
Published: Friday, January 3, 2014 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 3, 2014 at 10:12 p.m.
INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. | Call it a politician boldly going where no one has gone before.
On Thursday, David Waddell used the Klingon language to write his letter of resignation from the Indian Trail Town Council in North Carolina.
Waddell says he opted to use Klingon, the language of a warrior race on the "Star Trek" TV shows and movies, as an inside joke. Mayor Michael Alvarez is calling the letter unprofessional.
Waddell says he is resigning at the end of this month. His four-year term expires in December 2015.
Waddell says he also needs to devote time to mounting a write-in campaign on the Constitution Party's platform against U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan.

October 18, 2005
One big question – did the two young men have any problems before? Only on 12, the suspect's mother speaks out. News 12 has new information about what lead to their deadly confrontation.
Tina Hanna, the mother of suspect Terrence "TJ" Hanna, claims the two had been in an altercation before at a party held at the same hotel only a month ago.
"This is a picture of them on a youth trip with the church when they went to Myrtle Beach," Tina Hanna said.
Tina Hanna, remembering better days for her son Terrence, or TJ. This is the son she knows, a far cry from this mugshot of an accused killer.
"After the questioning they informed me he was being charged with the crime and it was a shock to him because he thought he was coming back," Tina said.
He's charged with murdering 18-year-old Rodnick Patterson at a hotel party over the weekend. Now police believe this wasn't the first time the two boys had met.
"Prior to this event there was a confrontation between Hanna and the victim and there was bad blood if you will between the two of them," said Captain Francisco.
Despite that fight a few weeks ago, Tina Hanna says she believes her son is innocent. So much so that she's the one who drove Terrence to the police station so her son could turn himself in.
"I'm asking investigators to work overtime to find the person responsible and not put him in the category of every other gang members because he's not," Tina said.
She believes a fight between high school rivals is what cost Rodnick Patterson his life and has left her son behind bars.
"I believe that's what it was my older son is at Hephzibah and these guys are at Westside and later my other two sons at Westside it turned into them picking at them," Tina said.

Hi there,
I wrote a post in the Sony forum about this, but I had no luck with the answers. I think I might get a better chance here, now that I've found the forum.
Here is a list of issues I have with the PMS:
- Web TV: I have only one channel working. The French one in English. But I have to stream it from the #TRANSCODED# folder.
- Gametrailers works only using the web streaming in the same #TRANSCODED# folder
- No chance to see any single youtube video. "format not supported" or similar error messages.
- Web radio works.
- Podcast works
- When using .srt subtitles it transcode Divx videos in MPEG2. Is that normal?
- When it transcodes a video I can't jump to a specific time of the video without having (it seems) all the video transcoded and streamed up to that point. Which means the "jumping" is nearly unusable.
- memcoder keeps crashing (I get a message window in OSX), but the program keeps streaming no matter if I ignore the message or i chose the option to restart it. Actually I checked the Activity Monitor, and I found a list of a dozen memcoder processes. I'm afraid it didn't crash at all then, it probably just interprets a return code in the wrong way.
- I keep getting all kind of network/DLNA errors but the videos keep streaming
Here is my setup:
- MacBook Intel 2, OSX leopard 10.5.6, 2.5 GB RAM - Connected via WiFi.
- PS3 with dynamic IP configuration. Media Server obviously enabled. Wired.
- HSDPA (3G mobile) internet connection. 1.4Mbps download, up to 384Kbps upload.
What I wonder the most is why Youtube isn't working. It actually gets the thumbnail, but then that's it.
BTW is anywhere a merged WEB.info file with all kind of links to Web Radios, tvs, etc? It would be also nice in a future release if it doesn't get overwritten when we upgrade the program (I think it shuld go into a Library folder).
Thanks in advance!!!

Children's Health
C. diff on Rise in Kids -- and Outside Hospital
May 21, 2012 -- The potentially deadly diarrhea bug Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, is spreading among children in the community, a new study shows.
"The typical person with C. difficile is thought of as being older, taking antibiotics, and in the hospital. For the first time, we are describing a substantial rise in new cases in children outside the hospital," says researcher Sahil Khanna, MBBS, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"Our most striking observation is that three-quarters of cases in children are being contracted in the community, not in the hospital," he tells WebMD. "That's huge compared to the past."
Based on the findings, parents whose child comes down with persistent diarrhea may want to consult a doctor to make sure it's not C. diff, he says.
Khanna presented the study today at Digestive Disease Week 2012 in San Diego.
Diarrhea Is Cardinal Symptom
C. diff are bacteria that produce toxins that damage the lining of the gut. There are about 337,000 hospital stays due to C. diff infection reported each year, resulting in 14,000 deaths, according to the CDC.
Common symptoms of a mild infection include watery diarrhea two or more times a day for two or more days and mild abdominal cramping and tenderness. In severe cases, the bug can lead to inflammation of the colon, resulting in fever, blood, or pus in the stool, nausea, dehydration, loss of appetite, and substantial weight loss.
For the study, researchers examined the medical records of people in Olmsted County, Minn., to identify children and teens 18 and under with C. diff infections from 1991-2009. The county's records are ideal for such a study, as every person seen in any health care facility or who fills a prescription is tracked, Khanna says.
A total of 92 children, whose average age was about 2 years, were identified. Nearly half were babies less than a year old.
Other findings:
- The number of infections in children was more than 12 times higher in the 2004-2009 time period, compared to the 1991-1997 time period (32.6 cases per 100,000 vs. 2.6 cases per 100,000).
- A total of 75% of cases were "community-acquired," meaning that the patients had not been recently hospitalized prior to contracting C. diff.
- Nine percent of cases were severe, and 1% died; 20% developed recurrent infections.
- A total of 76% of cases occurred in children that had recently been prescribed antibiotics, which can kill "good" bacteria in the gut that keep C. diff at bay. Also, 20% had taken stomach acid-reducing drugs linked to risk for C. diff infection.
David Bernstein, MD, a gastroenterologist at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., tells WebMD the findings are concerning.

Hello, my english isn't that good but i'll try. Since I formatted my PC to windows 7 home, I wanted to view mkv files with an embedded subtitle on my Sony Bravia KDL-55HX855 and it works great with PMS. I have only one problem with mkv 1080p files that lags, but not all the time. If I open Avatar, it runs perfectly until some scenes that got effects causes my tv to lag, like a bad graphic card that can't handle it. The same as the movie Transformerd the third. I was thinking it could be wireless so I plug with a cable from tv to the modem, it still lags. Then I plug the cable to PC instead, it still lags.
My PC should run mkv 1080p files very good:
Intel CPU 3.30 GHz
16 GB ram memory
Nvidia Geforde GTX 580
100/10 Mbit ISP
1 GB network card
Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Thanks!
Edit: I used a program Serviio just to see if the lag is still there but it's not. It has no lag at all, so it's something wrong with PMS with default settings. I don't want to use Serviio because it doesn't support subtitles.

Woman arrested for allegedly riding manatee
Published: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 8:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 25, 2012 at 8:27 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG - A St. Petersburg woman has been charged with violating Florida law by riding a manatee.
Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant Saturday. Pinellas County sheriff's deputies say she was photographed riding the manatee at Fort De Soto Park last September.
Sheriff Bob Gualtieri held a press conference a few days later asking for the public's help in identifying the woman. Gutierrez called deputies and allegedly admitted touching the endangered sea mammal. She told them she was new to the area and didn't know it was illegal to touch a manatee. The manatee was not hurt.
The maximum penalty is a $500 fine and six months in jail. Gutierrez was released on $1,500 bail.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
by Laurence Sterne
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Introduction
In A Nutshell
Tristram Shandy is a soap opera about penises—big penises, small penises, working penises, broken penises, wounded penises, real penises, symbolic penises, and… you get the point.
Where does the soap opera come in, you might ask? Tristram Shandy's got all the drama of Days of Our Lives —think marriage, misunderstandings, mistakes and misnamings. Basically, it covers everything but Tristram's life: his father's philosophical opinions, his mother's obsession with giving birth in London, his parson's ability to make everyone mad, his uncle's mania for toy forts, and, more than anything else, how stinkin' hard it is to write this book.
Tristram Shandy might be soapy, but it's also got substance. Shmoopers, you're checking out one of the Top 40 Hits of the 18th century. And this duckling doesn't look like any of the others: not Samuel Richardson, who wrote long, detailed novels about girls being raped; not Daniel Defoe, who wrote biographical novels about sailors and prostitutes; not Henry Fielding, who wrote funny parodies of Richardson. Nope, Tristram Shandy self-consciously makes fun of all these conventions while being pretty entertaining in its own right.
There are two ways to make sense of this:
(1) Tristram Shandy is a postmodern classic. The 19th century is famous for producing big door-stopper novels full of complex plots and characters. At the end of the century, some writers started to get bored with realism, the idea that novels were supposed to represent "real life" accurately. They started writing novels that played with the idea that a book could have anything to do with real life. Voilà, you have modernism.
A few decades later, other writers started to question the ideal of modernism. Technologies like TV, radio, and movies made "real life" start to seem a lot less real. They used techniques like pastiche (collage), stream-of-consciousness, and self-reflexivity to question not just "real life" but the whole idea of writing. That's postmodernism in a nutshell. If you've read a piece of contemporary literary fiction—the kind of book that wins prizes—and closed it thinking, "What the heck?" then you've probably read a postmodern book.
Plenty of people will claim that Tristram Shandy was postmodern before there was any modernism to be post about. Okay, we'll bite. The book is self-reflexive (it thinks about itself), narrator-Tristram produces multiple versions of himself, there's no climax and no resolution, and the characters are caricatures rather than complex, rounded people. David Foster Wallace or any other postmodern writer would be darn tootin' proud.
(2) On the other hand, maybe Tristram Shandy is not forward-looking but backward-looking. The 17th and early-18th centuries (and even farther back) had a tradition of something called learned wit. Basically, learned wit consisted of really smart people making smart jokes for other smart people. (A good example of today's learned wit might be cartoons in The New Yorker.) Some scholars say that Tristram Shandy is one of the last examples of learned wit. It's not supposed to be a novel; it's a clever parody of novels that's more interested in responding to the philosopher John Locke than in telling a story.
Which is it?
If you asked Tristram, he'd probably ask right back: "Why does it matter?"
Why Should I Care?
Tristram Shandy is kind of like of graffiti. Picture Laurence Sterne scrawling all over literary conventions, looking over his shoulder for the police to show up. So here's the catch: this graffiti packs an artistic punch. Sterne's not really defacing his contemporaries' work—he's just being a little irreverent with oh-so-serious Literature while adding a few ingredients of his own to the pot. He's like a punk kid who wants to rile up authorities with blank pages, big words, and really bad jokes.
See, Sterne is a little tired of the pat answers and neat conclusions found in traditional literature. He wants his readers to wake up and smell the sunshine—weird characters and off-the-wall endings make for much better reading material. Think Looney Tunes with even wackier circumstances. Those messy, funny, awkward moments that happen in everyday life are way more interesting than traditional plots, anyway. Chances are, you'll come away from Tristram Shandy with a bit of suspicion about tidy narratives and tied-off endings.
Even so, Sterne is perfectly aware that Tristram Shandy doesn't exist in a vacuum. After all, how rebellious would graffiti be without covering something up? By layering satire over other literary traditions, Sterne is calling attention to the way we tell stories. Narrative—stories—make the world seem orderly and precise. But the reality is that we live in a world that doesn't respect any kind of boundaries. Does your life fit into one of seven basic plots? Are there three acts to it? Are the characters stable, and do they always act in logical ways? Of course not. Sterne's got a pen instead of a spray can, but he's shaking things up anyway.

For the second season in a row the Neosho Lady Wildcats and Hillcrest Lady Hornets went head to head in a fierce battle to open the season.
And like their meeting last year, the outcome wouldn't be decided in regulation. After being tied 0-0 after two overtimes, it went to penalty kicks, where the Lady Wildcats won 3-1. While the outcome was similar, last season the teams went to overtime tied 4-4.
Just hours after celebrating her signing with Hannibal-LaGrange University at Neosho High School, senior goalkeeper Matty Liedtke turned in seven saves and blocked two Lady Hornets penalty kicks to help lead Neosho to the victory.
Lady Wildcats captain Paige O'Neill scored on a penalty kick, as did teammates Emily Reed and Haley Long.
"We kind of started this was with (Hillcrest) last year," Neosho coach Steve Schnackenberg said. "I think the wind hurt us in the first half, and then, of course, we had some first game jitters. I thought we looked much better in the second half."
The Lady Wildcats (1-0) blasted 17 shots on goal.
Neosho is back in action on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at McAuley Catholic in Joplin, Mo.

EPA and DOE Launch Campaign Encouraging Use of Energy Star Lights
DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched the annual "Energy Star Change a Light, Change the World Campaign" on October 5th, urging U.S. consumers to change at least one light in their home with one that carries an Energy Star label. If every U.S. household does that, the country will save $600 million in energy bills, save enough energy to light 7 million homes, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the emissions from 1 million cars. DOE and EPA named October 5th as "Energy Star Change a Light Day" and were joined by governors of 29 states, plus the governor of the Northern Mariana Islands. See the EPA press release and the campaign's Web page.
According to a new annual report from EPA, Energy Star and other voluntary programs reduced U.S. energy bills by nearly $10 billion in 2004, while avoiding 57 million metric tons of greenhouse gases and saving enough energy to power 25 million homes. More than 1.5 billion Energy Star products have been purchased, while more than 2,500 builders have constructed more than 360,000 Energy Star homes. Starting next July, though, homes will have to meet higher energy efficiency standards to earn the Energy Star label. See the EPA press releases on the report and the new Energy Star standards, or download the full report (PDF 1.8 MB). Download Adobe Reader.
The EPA is also taking energy savings to heart. In response to President Bush's recent directive to all federal agencies on energy conservation, EPA is taking immediate actions to conserve natural gas, electricity, gasoline, and diesel fuel in all its buildings in Washington, D.C. The EPA is adjusting the temperatures in its buildings to an average of 68 degrees, removing unnecessary light bulbs in some of its hallways, turning off the historic fountains in the courtyard areas, and limiting the courtyard lighting at night and turning it off during the day. See the EPA press release.

of Our Permanent Exhibition
Going Down…
The Way to the Permanent Exhibition
Unlike in most museums, the way to the permanent exhibition at the Jewish Museum Berlin is downstairs.
The connection between the Baroque building through which one enters the museum and the new building designed by Daniel Libeskind which houses the exhibitions is underground. Dark and winding are the stairs that symbolically link the past, present, and future of German-Jewish coexistence.
Daniel Libeskind said of his architecture: "What is important is the experience you get from it. The interpretation is open."
"Jews are not welcome"
Emigrants' Stories
In the "Axis of Exile," museum visitors first encounter a showcase devoted to the restrictions on what refugees from Germany were permitted to take with them during Nazi rule. Four stories show what emigrants were able to save. Margarete Sachs, mother of the poet and later Nobel Laureate Nelly Sachs, took her wedding ring with her and that of her deceased husband. Wedding rings were among the few pieces of jewelry that could be taken. In 1940, Margarete and Nelly Sachs fled on one of the last passenger aircraft from Berlin to Stockholm.
Alongside the stories of emigration, we show photographs of antisemitic place-name signs with inscriptions such as "Jews are not welcome." Werner Fritz Fürstenberg, who had at that time already emigrated to the Netherlands, photographed the signs in 1935 in the western German province to document the exclusion of Jews from German society.
Matters of Faith
On Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
Why does the bridegroom crush a glass with his foot after the wedding ceremony? Is clean the same as pure? And how do you gain entry to paradise? Opened in 2009, the exhibition area "Matters of Faith" throws light on objects, customs, and places in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam that refer to key aspects of these religions. Nine animated films show in an informative and light-hearted way the liveliness and creativity typical of religions of the present. We thus hope that our "Matters of Faith" will inspire visitors in whose lives religion has no place.
In front of three monitors, upholstered rings invite visitors to lean, sit, or lounge uninhibitedly. A wooden band winds through the area, connecting the three rings. Band and rings are reminiscent of a roll of film, but they are also indicative of similarities and differences between the three religions.
The Shabbat Table
The Objects of the Day of Rest
The table-shaped showcase in the exhibition segment "Tradition and Change" shows objects used during the Shabbat. Some of them are Jewish ritual objects such as the Kiddush cup – in its existence outside of the museum, it holds wine on Friday evening that receives a special blessing – the Kiddush.
The showcase also exhibits pieces of crockery and cutlery. They were used by their original owners on the Shabbat and for other celebrations, but are not linked to a particular ritual. They bear witness to the festive atmosphere that prevailed on the eve of the Shabbat in the houses of their previous owners.
Oh Christmas Tree!
The Christmas Tree as a Symbol of Positioning Oneself
Be it winter or summer, a decorated Christmas tree stands proud in the permanent exhibition. In the exhibition area "Family Life," it reminds us that Christmas trees could be found in many a Jewish household at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries.
These Christmas trees had no religious significance, but were a sign of a cultural rapprochement. Christmas was celebrated as a German family event – it was a national happening and many Jews did not want to miss being part of it.
Folders – for Leafing Through and Learning
Visit school – that's what visitors to our "Classroom" in the permanent exhibition can do. A colorful board and six folders invite visitors to take a seat on the school bench and learn about the past and present of Jewish schools.
Three folders are designed especially for our young visitors – they explain the Jewish alphabet, Jewish festivals, the world of letters and numbers, and the calendar. They can learn here, for example, why the day in Judaism does not begin in the morning after waking up, but in the evening when the sun sets. The Bible tells the story of how the world was created right on the first page. It says there: "And there was evening and there was morning, the first day." Evening is mentioned first – that is why the Jewish day begins in the evening.
"Prince of Science"
The Medical Doctor Paul Ehrlich
The list of Paul Ehrlich's research achievements is long and varied. The medical doctor discovered a cure for syphilis, founded the field of cancer research and developed the side-chain theory, which laid the foundation for understanding immune responses. Paul Ehrlich was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908 for his work in immunity research.
It all began with a fascination with colors: Ehrlich developed dye-based procedures that enabled doctors to demonstrate the existence of pathogens and their distribution in the blood. This basic research made it possible to diagnose and treat many illnesses.
"What would you take with you?"
Not Only for Children!
The interactive terminal "What would you take with you?" tells this and other stories of Jewish children who emigrated after 1933 and the things they took with them. This terminal is designed for children, but we know that adults also appreciate the appealing and descriptive entries for visitors between six and twelve years.
"This model sukkah belonged to Rudi Librowicz. He built it himself, added the tables and chairs and created the beautiful decorations. The roof can be opened – as on a real sukkah. Rudi emigrated to England with his family in 1937, taking the construction kit along with him. He later changed his last name to Leavor since the English had difficulty pronouncing Librowicz."

This terminal is designed for children, but we know that adults also appreciate the appealing and descriptive entries for visitors between six and twelve years.
Paths to Exile
A Media Installation on Flight from Nazi Germany
The penultimate chapter of the permanent exhibition "National Socialism" throws light on the possible courses of action for German Jews after 1933. It thus explores various aspects of emigration. In all, 276,000 Jews fled from Nazi Germany to countries of exile throughout the globe. An interactive table invites visitors to consider their paths.
Visitors locate their chosen country on a world map from the year 1939 with rotating buttons. The table then displays the number of people who immigrated to this country as well as interesting facts about entry conditions and asylum law.
"On Trial: Auschwitz / Majdanek"
The Newest Chapter of the Permanent Exhibition
The new area in the permanent exhibition presents the two largest German Nazi trials and their echoes in art and the media.
An installation with historical film clips on the Auschwitz Trial in Frankfurt (1963 - 1965) shows how the trial shaped the perspective of the Nazi past. Voices calling for a "final stroke" are heard as well as others such as Fritz Bauer and Hannah Arendt, who hoped that the prosecution of Nazi war criminals would lead to public clarification of the past.
The exhibition presents the Majdanek Trial in Düsseldorf with over 44 oil portraits of different participants in the trial. iPads tell the stories of those portrayed and their role in the court proceedings. The monstrosity of the longest Nazi trial in West German history gradually unfolds in the episodes.

A cure for miscommunication: Spanish for health care workers
William C. Harvey says he's "out of the cave" and ready to resume his mission: to teach Spanish to just about everyone in Orange County.
Harvey, 59, wrote the indispensable "Spanish for Gringos," published in 1999, and since then has authored more than a dozen other books on language instruction. Many of them are designed to help native English speakers in a specific profession get by with just enough Spanish to serve customers. Or in some cases, save a life.
On Feb. 21, he will begin teaching a five-week course called "Spanish for Healthcare Professionals" at UC Irvine.
The class is offered through the school's continuing-education arm, UCI Extension, and will be held Thursdays 6:30-9:30 p.m. through March 21 at Social Science Plaza A, Room 1165.
The cost is $385 and there are seats left among the 35 spots.
Who should take this class? Doctors, nurses, desk clerks, support staff – anyone who works at a hospital, HMO or clinic who would find a basic knowledge of Spanish useful to give or receive information.
"The program allows people who've never spoken Spanish before to stand before a Spanish speaker, understand the general message that's coming at them and respond intelligently," Harvey said.
The textbook used for the class will be Harvey's own book, "Spanish for Health Care Professionals," published in 2008.
His other books include "Spanish for Law Enforcement Personnel," "Spanish for Attorneys and Paralegals" and "Spanish for the Construction Trade," as well as a few books for native Spanish speakers on how to learn English.
Harvey doesn't get bogged down with perfect conjugation of verbs. The goal is to be able to connect with someone "warmly, culturally."
After his surge of prolific writing and speaking, Harvey said, "I still have that passion. I'm out of the cave now, letting the industries know I'm out there again."

Sleepy Eye Public, 79
Minnesota Valley Lutheran, 71
It doesn't matter how long a team has led the game, the basketball team that comes out on top at the buzzer is the winner. This was the situation for the Sleepy Eye Indian boy's basketball team on Thursday, February 28th when they faced the Minnesota Valley Lutheran Chargers in the first game of the postseason.
MVL took the lead right from the beginning and would not let go of its grasp until much later in the game. Sleepy Eye was able to tie the game at 11-11 as a result of a basket from Brandon Polesky. MVL then pulled out an 8-0 run to lead by the biggest gap of the game until the second half.
The Sleepy Eye Indians slowly regained their position into the game by coming closer to the lead. The closest they came back to that lead in the first half was at 25-26 when Juan Montemayor put the Indians within one with a basket underneath. The half ended with MVL still in the lead at 31-33.
The second half started out with a huge tie-game basket from Jake Trebesch that made the game 33-33. MVL, however, still led the Indians at that point, and Sleepy Eye struggled to take the lead until Jake Trebesch pulled out a basket and free throw off of a foul. That would tie the game at 57-57. MVL made one free throw before Tyler Netzke of the Sleepy Eye Indians made two of his own free throws to put the Sleepy Eye Indians ahead 59-58 at the six minute mark.
While MVL had led the entire game up to that point, the Sleepy Eye Indians took their turn at the lead. MVL was able to tie the game twice more but without any luck. Free throws accounted for 11 of the final 22 points in favor of the Sleepy Eye Indians, securing the game for them at the buzzer at a final score of 79-71.

morals and worship, drawing from Sacred Scripture, tradition and human experience. Through commitment, we fully involve ourselves in our relationships to others. God's grace allows us to freely respond to His love, illumining our conscience, Creed and worship.
- Although we have the capacity to do wrong, we are under the moral
obligation to do the right thing. Conscience applies universal moral norms to particular situations and helps us discern what the right thing to do is.
- Sin is not merely a transgression of divine law. It corrupts our
spiritual life and cuts us off from God. It affects not only us but also the people around us. Forgiveness is not an erasure of our sins, but an act of love by God for us.
- The Creed is not a formula to be simply recited. It is a list of
beliefs that unite us as a community in our Christian life.
- There are no substitutes for the Sacraments as a way for us to
deepen our faith. This is how God chose to make Himself present to us and how He wants us to learn about Him. Sacraments also unite us with the rest of the Church.
- Human experience shapes our understanding of Sacred
Scripture. Sacred Scripture tells us much about human experience. Faith shows us "things exactly as they are."

How do you come to grips with 1,000,000 lines of code right away?
Programmers are often given a large system they've not seen before, built by people they don't know, touched by many people since, documented sketchily if at all. They're told to improve it. Their task might be to fix a bug, add a feature, or complete a refactoring. They are under time pressure, so they need to minimize the total time spent learning and the time spent improving.
In this workshop, we will share techniques and approaches for understanding enough about a lot of code in not much time. We are concerned not just with speed, but also with confidence: how can you know you've made an improvement, not made the system worse?
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Okay, I Give Up
My apologies to all who have wondered where Nordic Blue has been hiding out since last spring. I am very happy to see 2010, because 2009 was a bit of a nightmare (ah, er, I mean: challenge). The blogging bug has bitten once again, thanks to some recent comments, as well as life just settling down a bit. One story I will be relating is how I finally found my birth father, and all that discovery entailed. Nope, I'm not going to give any of it away here; you'll need to check back a bit later.
Nordic Blue is still here, just a bit weather worn, 'tis all. I hope you are all well in genealogy blogging land. It's good to be back!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Aside from the name on the back of his jersey, Brett Bochy feels no different from any of the other young pitchers in big league camp.
"It's just a normal spring training," he said Sunday, pausing. "Except with your dad as the manager."
There's nothing normal about that last part. Bochy, a right-handed reliever, is a 25-year-old simply trying to soak up tips and add experience while in his first big league camp. He also happens to be the only one of the 37 pitchers in camp who has to pass his dad's office on the way into the clubhouse.
"It's pretty special," Bruce Bochy said, smiling. "I'm not going to lie. There's a little added stress that I don't know if I needed, but I'm proud of him. He had a great year last year. He's worked hard to get to this point."
For Brett Bochy, that's a point of pride whether it's coming from his father or teammates, many of whom have pointed out this week that the right-hander is here as a result of a strong 2012 season, not family ties. Brett, a 20th round pick of the Giants in 2010, had 14 saves, seven wins and a 2.53 ERA in 41 appearances at Double-A Richmond (Va.) last season. After recovering from Tommy John surgery, he spent 2011 at Single-A Augusta (Ga.), where he had a 1.38 ERA in 35 appearances.
Relying on a fastball, slider, cutter, changeup mix, Brett has opened eyes in his brief time in the minors.
"He throws to both sides of the plate, and he can finish guys with his fastball because he's so good at locating it," said Johnny Monell, Richmond's catcher last season. "He doesn't ever talk about the name on his jersey. When he steps between the lines, he puts up those numbers and impresses. He's just another guy who has earned this."
After being shut down late last season with arm fatigue, Brett is healthy now and included throwing sessions with his father in his offseason workouts. In Scottsdale, Bruce is mostly hands-off with his son. Brett stays with the other minor leaguers at a hotel and comes and goes with teammates.
When he arrives at camp, however, Brett still has some of Bruce's longtime stars doing double takes.
"He looks so much like (Bruce)," said Tim Lincecum. "It's kind of cool and surreal. I remember when my dad was my coach, it was the hardest part because you wouldn't want to (tick) him off all the time.
"You feel like everything you're doing, he's watching and criticizing you."
Ramirez had a 2.07 ERA in 91 appearances with the Giants in 2010-11 before being shipped to the New York Mets in December 2011 as part of the Angel Pagan trade. Bochy said there are two spots available in the bullpen, although George Kontos is a heavy favorite to lock up a role. "We like to keep it competitive," Bochy said.
