Hey New Mom! 7 Simple Ways to Keep Your Energy Up
If that venti Americano never seems to get the job done, read on. These tips work just as well as that full night's sleep you're not going to get any time soon
Yet that's precisely how so many moms (this one included) spend their free waking moments, only to collapse in bed at the end of the day, too exhausted to clean the mascara off their lashes or even change into PJs.
"From the moment you decide to become a mom, you're constantly giving your energy out," says Ashley Koff, RD, author of "Mom Energy: A Simple Plan to Live Fully Charged." But between nursing, diaper changes, car pools, and feeding the family -- not to mention the full-time jobs many mothers hold down on top of mommy duty -- we often forget to focus on bringing in quality energy. Instead, we slap Band-Aids on our fatigue in the form of espresso, diet soda, energy shots, or handfuls of candy for a quick but fleeting sugar high.
But you can perk yourself up for good. Here's our experts' high-octane advice ...

I'm not a mom, but these are some great tips for people who have super busy schedules!

I really like this article and I am sure it will be one that I come back to. So many times as a mom I will take a 5 hour energy shot and then question myself on why I feel drained. The answer is that I need fuel all day! Thank you for the reminder!

that sounds like good advice!

I knew some of these things but found the others very helpful! Getting ready for a new baby is scary but this advice makes sense :]

I thought folks would appreciate some funny experiences my brother sent to me. He is a ranger, riding horseback, at local county parks in the Golden area. Sometimes, you have to laugh! Happy trails:
Out in the park, riding Cooper (my horse), I came across a young guy walking a dog.
Young guy: "Excuse me, but why do dog owners have to pick up their poop, but horse owners don't?"
Me: "Because that's the park regulation."
YG: "But what's the reason?"
Me: "Because dogs are carnivores and horses are herbivores."
YG: "So?"
Me: "So horses' poop disintegrates in a week, but dogs' poop takes a couple of months."
YG: "What's a herbivore?"
I rode back to the parking lot at the end of the ride. Cooper was a little sweaty, and this lady comes up to me:
Lady: "Excuse me, but what's the matter with your horse's fur?"
Me: "I'm sorry, I don't understand."
L: "Your horse's fur is all funny."
Me: "Sorry, I still don't understand."
L: "Is he shedding?"
Me: "No, it's the middle of January."
L: "Well, his fur looks all funny."
Me: "I'm sorry, ma'am, horses don't have fur. They have hair."
L: "Oh, whatever."

The score wasn't very indicative of how close Wednesday's game between Hollister and East Newton was at the Southwest Washburn Holiday Classic.
While the Trojans led for most of the contest, the score remained close until the final three minutes. After scoring to pull the game within a point inside of five minutes to go in the game, the Patriots suffered some defensive breakdowns that allowed the Trojans to stretch the lead to six points.
The game remained close, however, until the Patriots were forced to foul late and send the Trojans to the free throw line. There they hit eight-of-10 shots late and pulled away.
Bryce Zimmerman led the way for the Patriots with 17 points while Sam Swartz turned in nine, Deion Clark eight, Zack Deman four, Colby Thomas two and Rocky Liveoak two.
Wenger and David each scored 16 for the Trojans.
The Patriots (1-9) take on Cassville in a continuation of the tournament at 6 p.m. today.

Pronounced: GLEE-oh-blass-TOE-mah
Sonja Lyons
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common glioma—a type of brain cancer. This cancer starts in the glial cells, which are cells that help nerve cells work.
This condition can develop suddenly. It can also develop from a lower grade, less cancerous brain tumor. Most cases are located in the cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The cancer can also begin in the spinal cord or brain stem.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
GBM originates from astrocytes, which are a type of glial cell. The factors that cause normal-functioning astrocytes to become cancerous is not well understood.
GBM is more common in people over 50 years old, especially those who are Caucasian, Hispanic, and Asian. Factors that increase your chances of developing GBM include:
Symptoms include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images and scans may be taken of your brain. This can be done with:
Your brain activity may be measured. This can be done with:
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Surgery is often done to confirm diagnosis and relieve headache, but doctors cannot completely remove the cancer. Other types of treatment may include:
Even with aggressive treatment, few patients survive more than 5 years after diagnosis. However, there is evidence that medical and surgical intervention can increase life expectancy and improve quality of life.
A multi-disciplinary approach is important for you and your family. This approach may involve:
As the causes of GBM are unknown, there are no preventive measures.

AUGUSTA,Ga -- Some local young people were treated to a day at Augusta National. They also took part in a live interview with the Golf Channel's Michael Breed. It is all in a days work for the students at the First Tee of Augusta.
"I'm excited for her because she is just a golf fanatic," said Ebonye's mom Candye Smith.
Ebonye said she did not see this one coming.
"My coach he was like...you're going to the Masters," recalled Ebonye. "I was just like wow."
Ebonye is featured in Augusta Family Magazine as a First Tee of Augusta standout. She is pretty good.
"I'm very good," said Ebonye with a smile. "I'm better than Tiger Woods, you know."
Ebonye is a Tiger fan, and so is her partner Brette. They both were armed with practice tickets.
"It's really cool," said Brette Bryant. "I have never been to a practice round so I don't know what's going to happen."
Ebonye and Brette's other First Tee peers were at the Augusta Country Club getting a one on one lesson with the Golf Channel's Michael Breed.
"Some folks are just at home sitting on the couch watching cartoons," said First Tee executive director Jill Brown. "Our kids are out really being exposed to some positive things."
Our cameras were rolling as the group of 8 to 18 year old students made their Golf Channel debut.
"Look out for some of these great kids," said Coach Alphonso Ashford. "If you have the opportunity to talk to one of them and see what we see in these young people, you would do nothing else but support the First Tee."
You can catch the students tonight at 7PM on The Golf Fix. First Tee is funded by your donations. One of their biggest events is tomorrow. Gates open for the Rock Fore! Dough concert at 3:30PM. Tickets are $35 the day of the event.

An area of grassland will be intentionally burned at Big Stone Lake State Park this spring to remove dead plant material and rejuvenate the growth of grasses and forbs, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This management tool, known as prescribed burning, can be one of the most effective and economic ways to improve grassland habitat.
According to Cara Greger, DNR park specialist, prescribed burning stimulates the growth of native plant species whose seeds may otherwise lie dormant in the soil.
"Burning promotes a new flush of native species, discouraging the growth of non-native species that tend to overrun non-burned areas," Greger said. "Native prairie plants benefit wildlife, providing food and shelter to a variety of bird and animal species."
Greger said that burning a prairie also increases the palatability of the forage for deer, rodents, and other species that eat plants.
The burn is scheduled to take place during late April or early May depending on weather conditions. It will be conducted on the Meadowbrook unit of the park. The burn area will be adjacent to the township road leading to the Meadowbrook public access and continue north to Minnesota Highway 7 and west to the State Park road.
Greger said efforts will be made to control the smoke from the burn, but smoke may travel beyond the park boundaries.
Anyone who wishes to be added to a mailing list about the burn or has concerns about the health impacts of smoke on conditions such as emphysema or asthma, can call the Lac qui Parle State Park office at 320-734-4450, ext. 225.

CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY MONT April-May, 1960 Vol. 4 — No. 3 Blue Bay Lodge . . . Flathead Lake Villa Sites By Walter H. Morigeau Chairman, Natural Resources Committee Under the Homestead Act of May 22, 1909 the lands along the Flathead Lake that were not allotted to members of the tribe but were set aside as Villa Sites and Town Sites. Some of the Villa Site Lots were turned over to the General Land Office for sale, those not sold by 1935 when the Wheeler Howard Act went into effect were turned back to the tribes for tribal use. The Villa Sites that have tribal lots remaining are: Big Arm Villa, Safety Bay Villa, Finley Point Villa, Blue Bay Villa, Orchard Villa, Pollard Villa, White Swan Villa, Festou Villa. In recent years three or four of the members of the tribe traded their allotments for lake shore lots and Blue Bay Lodge was established on Blue Bay Villa. In the past some of these lots were leased to non-members of the tribe. For some time now members of the tribe have been requesting the use of these Villa Site Lots. Regarding this request the Tribal Council has in the past two years worked out a Lease Form .approved by the Bureau of Indian Af- Blue Bay 4làaàà& Tribute to Fr. Taelmaii By Walter W. McDonald For the last three years I have paid tribute to Father Louis J. Taelman, S.J., in dedicating the April issue of Char-Koos-ta to a great priest and Saint to the full blood Indians. Father Taelman's birth falls on the 19th of April and this year Fath er crossed the trail the 93rd time. Since the day Father was graduated from St. Joseph's College, Exarde, Belgium he has decicated his work with the highest esteem to his parish, especially to a minority group, the American Indian. Father Taelman has devoted over 60 years of his life to the Indian people having been over 15 years among the Crow, 16 years among the Kalispell, Cal-wills and Spokanes. However the Flat-head-Kootenais have had the benefit of Father's spiritual guidance for over 30 years. It was through the work of Father Pierre DeSmit, early pioneer of the 1840's, who inspired our own Father Taelman to see there was a job to do, which was to give the Indians help in education and spiritual guidance. Father Catalde, S.J., admitted Father Taelman to the Rocky Mountain Mission. It was in 1890 that Father Taelman first saw the beautiful Mission Valley and the Mission at St. Ignatius. One could write a long history of Father Taelman, but the real history we have is he is with us at 93 years of age, and he carries on his duty as chaplain at the Holy Family hospital in St. Ignatius. And he is seen in our picturesque church every Sunday morning unless something unforseen keeps him away. fairs which is now in use. The Lake Shore Lots would average from two to five acres and inside lots from four to ten acres. The Council decided that in order to give more members of the tribe a chance to use these lots they would divide the lake shore lots. The approximate number after dividing, is 161 lots and of these there are 52 approved long term leases and assignments and 31 pending leases, which laaves 78 lots open for applications. Any tribal member wishing to apply for a lease on these lots may do so by contacting the Realty Office of the Tribal Council at Dixon, Montana. There are definite regulations under this lease which the applicant will have to conform with, one mainly for example will be that the sites or lots will be used only for home sites. AMENDMENT APPROVED Word has been received by the Chairman of the Tribal Council from the Secretary of the Interior Office that the recent election on the amendment to the Constitution held April 1 has been approved by the Secretary.

Northport may 4-lane Mitt Lary Road
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
NORTHPORT | The traffic on Mitt Lary Road often backs up, especially during rush hour in the mornings and in the late afternoon when school lets out.
But city leaders are hoping to change that and prepare for future growth in the area by possibly expanding the road to three or four lanes in the near future.
The City Council appointed the engineering firm Walker & Associates to do engineering work on the possible expansion of the road, to determine the cost and general design of the project.
There is no estimate on what it might cost to complete. While Northport would seek grant assistance, it is prepared to move forward and fully fund the project on its own if needed, City Administrator Scott Collins said.
"We know that the Mitt Lary Road corridor is our largest area of projected growth, and we are trying to be proactive to make sure that growth is successful," Collins said. "Right now, the ideal (expansion) would be a minimum of three lanes, or four lanes if it was feasible."
Widening Mitt Lary could prove difficult on the western end, where there are a large number of homes not far off the road, Collins said. The city wants to use as little private property as possible for the project, but the road has to be improved, said Councilman Steve Acker, who represents the area.
"I would personally love to see a four-lane, but we'll have to have the engineers look at it," Acker said. "I don't know how much room we'll have, and our intent is not on taking anyone's home. That's not what it's about."
But it's also important that the road is widened before further development occurs off Mitt Lary, especially on the eastern end near Alabama Highway 69, Acker said.
"We are trying to get ahead of the game, with a little forward thinking," Acker added.
"For the residents in the area, it's an inconvenience. However, for our community and the city of Northport, we want to grow in that area and want to make that growth successful," Collins said.
The 2-mile road that links Alabama Highway 69 to U.S. Highway 43 is now two lanes. In the morning, traffic is backed up from parents trying to get their children to Northport Elementary or to Tuscaloosa County High, and also from people who live in the area who are trying to get to work in Tuscaloosa, said Traci Ferguson, who lives in Huntington Gardens off Mitt Lary Road. Ferguson said it sometimes takes 20 minutes to drive less than two miles to take her daughter to school in the mornings.
"I think (widening Mitt Lary) is a good idea because that road is really congested," Ferguson said. "I think it would also help decrease the wrecks. I know there was one there on Mitt Lary last week."
Amber Capell lives in Huntington Place and also said it was a good idea.
"I used to use that road a lot, and the traffic in that area is very congested," Capell said. "If I leave for work too early, I get stopped by the elementary buses, and if I leave too late, I get caught up in the traffic going to county high. That area is growing."
But not all residents want the road to be expanded or for more homes and businesses to be brought to the area. While it would be nice to have a gas station or more retail close by, the area is nice because it's relatively quiet, said Tracy Reynolds, who lives in the Belle Meade subdivision near the corner of Alabama 69 and Mitt Lary.
"We like how quiet it is, and it's one reason we decided to move here, because it feels like you are living out in the country when you aren't," Reynolds said.
It should take engineers about six months to draw up a general design and give an estimated construction cost to the city of Northport. The council will then decide whether or not to move forward with the project.

Store extras in tightly covered jars in a dark place to preserve their flavor for as long as possible. For use at the table, keep the blends in salt shakers with large holes; blends made with whole spices may be kept in pepper mills.

South Park's Eleven Mile Reservoir has been fishing well both from the shore and boats. Shore anglers have been doing well with traditional baits, such as eggs and worms, with most fish holding close to shore. Those trolling are doing well with gold spoons, especially with a splash of color. Most fish being caught are rainbows and cutbows.
Another option to consider is the South Platte River below Spinney Reservoir, where the browns and a few kokanee have moved upstream. Just don't expect to fish alone. Streamers are always a good choice, especially when the traffic is light.
Though the levels are low, those making a late-season run to Jefferson Lake are doing well working peacock nymphs behind a fly and bubble. It's a good choice on most High Country waters right now, especially in low-light conditions.
Williams Fork Reservoir is very low and fishing is limited to hand-launched, non-motorized watercraft. Work deeper water along drop-offs and steeper slopes with jigs for a good shot at northern pike. There are no reports on kokanee, but they should be showing soon.
Rivers continue to be one of the best choices for anglers, especially those using streamers or minnow-style lures. Work deeper water in an erratic fashion under low-light conditions for best results for larger browns. During the day, nymphs and dry flies have a good chance of success.
The Colorado River from Dotsero upstream has been doing well with large attractor nymphs such as girdle bugs. The Eagle River is also providing good fishing to those willing to wade. Early in the day, look for some solid dry-fly action from blue-winged olives. Consider trying midges and attractor patterns also, such as renegades. Other river options worth trying include the Blue River and the Colorado River near Parshall.

Wilder, Price vie for WBC confederation title
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 2:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 2:46 p.m.
LOS ANGELES | The stakes have been raised for the biggest fight of Deontay Wilder's professional boxing career.
Deontay Wilder vs. Kelvin Price
When: Saturday at 9:30 p.m. CT
Where: Los Angeles Sports Arena
Records: Wilder 25-0, 25 knockouts; Price 13-0, 6 knockouts
TV: Showtime
Wilder, the 2008 Olympic heavyweight bronze medalist from Tuscaloosa, will be fighting for his first professional championship Saturday when he faces undefeated Kelvin Price of Pensacola, Fla., in a 10-round bout that will be televised on Showtime. Wilder will fight Price in a battle of undefeated prospects for the vacant World Boxing Council Continental Americas heavyweight championship, with the winner slated to earn a world ranking. The bout was upgraded to a championship fight this week.
The Wilder-Price fight is expected to be the second of three fights on the Showtime card.
Neither Wilder nor Price are currently world-ranked, although Wilder is rated No. 8 by the United States Boxing Association, No. 11 by the North American Boxing Federation and No. 15 by the North American Boxing Organization, which are regional ranking organizations. Price has the lone victory over once-defeated Tor Hamer, rated as the No. 24 contender in the world by the WBC.
Joe Dwyer, president of the WBC-affiliated NABF, said the WBC has three confederations in the U.S., including the Continental Americas confederation.
"Any one of those three championships has a corresponding rating in the world rankings," Dwyer said.
The Continental Americas heavyweight championship came into existence in 1979. Past champions of note include Michael Dokes, Leon Spinks, Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, James Toney, Michael Moorer, Tony Thomspon and Chris Arreola – all of whom went on to hold or challenge for the heavyweight championship. Notable challengers for the belt include Trevor Berbick, Randall "Tex" Cobb, Alex Stewart, Bert Coooper, Tim Witherspoon and Thomas Hearns.
Chauncy Welliver won the title in March, 2010, and defended it seven times through May 5 of this year, but has not defended it since and has vacated the title.
Wilder will be fighting for the sixth time in 2012. He knocked out Damon McCreary in two rounds in California in his most recent outing in September. He stopped Kertson Manswell in Mobile in August on a night when he was originally scheduled to fight Price, who pulled out with a rib injury sustained in training. In June he stopped former world title challenger Owen Beck in three rounds in Tuscaloosa. He knocked out Jesse Oltmanns in the first round in May in Cancun, Mexico, and defeated Marlon Hayes by fourth-round technical knockout in St. Louis in February.
Price has only fought once this year, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Arron Lyons in Biloxi, Miss.

Ice cream is its own food group in the Dozier household.
"Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, we always have some kind of ice cream," Wendi Dozier said.
That's why Dallas and Jenna, along with their mom, Wendi, wanted to test the claims from the Ice Cream Magic commercial. It cost $27 online, which included shipping and handling.
Jenna stirred the vanilla and chocolate recipes. Wendi added the mixtures to the freezing bowl, which sits on top of the ice, salt, and water mixture inside the ice chamber. Ice Cream Magic says it takes just three minutes of shaking to make the tasty treat.
After three minutes, the kids took the lid off. They said the ice cream was frozen at the bottom, but not all over. The goal is creamy soft serve. So, they shook for another 90 seconds. But they were not satisfied with the results.
"In the commercial it comes out in a scoop already," Wendi said.
Wendi gave it one more try, mixing together the ingredients again. But this time, she used half the amount of salt and water, since the ice melted so quickly last time. But no matter the technique, the ingredients never came together to make a solid scoop.
Does it work?
"No," Wendi said.
We reached-out to the makers of Ice Cream Magic about our results. A customer service representative sent an email. In part, it reads "I do sincerely apologize for the trouble this has caused. I will make sure to forward this to corporate so they are able to further assist you with this issue." But, we haven't heard anything since.

It hasn't been verified in the Meridian-area yet, but the West Nile virus is all around us. And local health officials say because of the way it spreads, it could soon be here.
The Meridian Public Works Department sprays nightly for mosquitoes, they do it throughout the summer months, and have done so for years.
But Public Works Director Monty Jackson says in light of the West Nile outbreak, those sprayings will likely become more frequent.
Health officials say that spraying can be helpful, but they say the best way to prevent mosquito-born diseases like West Nile are best accomplished by getting rid of places where mosquitoes breed, like standing water.
Health officials like Dr. Melissa Campbell at Rush Hospital; say there's no reason to panic, even if you have symptoms of the virus. But they say if those symptoms persist or get worse, you should then visit the doctor.

- California gay marriage ruling: Supreme Court has many options
The U.S. Supreme Court today will decide whether same-sex couples will soon have the legal right to marry in California for the first time since voters forbade such nuptials by passing Proposition 8 nearly five years ago.
Ending months of anticipation, the Supreme Court announced Tuesday that it will release rulings Wednesday in the long-running legal battle over Proposition 8 and a separate challenge to the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples nationwide.
Chief Justice John Roberts indicated that the court will end its term with rulings in its remaining cases, and the same-sex marriage cases are two of the three still to be decided. The rulings will be released starting at 7 a.m. PDT, and San Francisco city officials plans to fling open the doors of City Hall shortly beforehand for a "public viewing" of the court's decisions.
The justices are reviewing a federal appeals court's ruling last year striking down Proposition 8, California's 2008 voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage. The court is also considering a separate federal appeals court's ruling declaring the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
Based on how the justices distribute decisions among themselves each term, legal experts are predicting Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy are the likely authors of the opinions.
There are a host of outcomes possible in the Proposition 8 case, ranging from the court upholding the law to a sweeping ruling finding such state bans on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. The court also may duck the central questions by finding that Proposition 8's sponsors do not have a legal right to defend the law in place of Gov. Jerry Brown and state Attorney General Kamala Harris, who both consider it unconstitutional.
Whatever the Supreme Court decides, gay marriages will not resume immediately in California. The legal details will not be complete in the case for at least 25 days, making it likely that any marriages, if allowed under the court's decision, would not take place until later in July at the earliest.
The two couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 will await the ruling at the Supreme Court. That includes Kristin Perry and Sandy Stier, a Berkeley couple seeking the right to marry.

Lifestyles Report…The long and short of it
The world's problems are normally solved at the hair salon. On a recent visit to the beauty parlor I got into a good debate about the hair of some very famous people. It is so amazing that hair has always been such a concern to Black people: do we have good hair, nappy hair, real hair, hair weave or a wig?

Hey guys, I have trouble with error 1034.
I have a class I use for all my buttons, called ExButton (extends SimpleButton), and I have a button in the library linked for actionscript as PhaseTest. In the properties section, I set ExButton to be the base class instead of SimpleButton.
I also have a movieclip called "CreateCharacter" in the library, linked for AS. Inside that movieclip, there are a few PhaseTest buttons. I have another movieclip called Inventory. This movieclip does also contain instances of PhaseTest. This movieclip is not linked for scripting.
Everything works fine, the button inherits the properties from ExButton etc. The problem comes when I link Inventory for AS. When I create a instance of CreateCharacter and add it to stage, I get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::SimpleButton@5175f0f9 to PhaseTest.
It bugs out even before Inventory is used for the first time. The fact that I link Inventory for scripting makes the error come.
Can someone please explain me exactly what this error is?
Ps. My stage is empty, everything is added to stage by scripts, and all scripts are placed in classes.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- There are two ways to look at the state of the 49ers as they enter the postseason. As winners of six straight who closed the regular season by gutting out two nail-biters. Or a team that sputtered across the finish line, made it, but leaking oil and making a weird sound.
The former gives you hope they're developing the resilience needed to rip off a Super Bowl run. The latter gives you hope because you know a tuneup and a fresh start is all that's needed.
Pick one. Tell yourself whichever works best for relieving anxiety over this next week. Because, either way, the 49ers need to take it up a notch. No doubt Sunday's performance, even though it ended in a 23-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, doesn't leave you beaming with confidence about Super Bowl prospects.
"We strung it out to the end, which we shouldn't have," quarterback Colin Kaepernick said after making a few clutch throws in the final minutes. "But we came out with the win, which was most important."
On top of that, the 49ers will have to go to Green Bay in the freezing cold and take down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, riding high off their thrilling NFC North title-clinching win.
Certainly, winning six straight is the end result you want heading into the playoffs. It can even be argued such is all that matters.
That's the postseason mentality, win regardless of how, and the 49ers are deep into it. That's why they celebrated with sheer glee when Phil Dawson's 40-yard field goal sailed through the uprights as time expired.
"We're showing fight," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said after totaling 10 tackles with an interception, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. "None of these games are going to be easy. ... I think as a team we're showing fight, we're showing grit. We're staying focused, on edge.
"Teams are going to make plays. This is the NFL. But the teams that prevail through adversity and not let things distract them, those are the great teams. We're doing that right now."
But there is the other side, the one that drives you nuts if you're pining for a return to the Super Bowl. Watching this team struggle for elongated stretches on both sides of the ball raises doubts about its ability to make this daunting run as the No. 5 seed.
For the second straight week, the 49ers blew a sizable lead. They looked dominant, jumping out to a 17-0 lead over the Cardinals in the first quarter. What you wanted to see was them put away Arizona, something they didn't do last week against Atlanta. What you wanted to see was for them to smell blood and turn it up a notch.
Instead, they seemed to let off the gas. The offense -- which started aggressively -- spiraled into an ineffective mess. During one stretch beginning in the second and extending into the fourth, the 49ers went eight straight drives without a score, half of them three-and-outs.
The defense started getting picked apart by Arizona's Carson Palmer, who threw for 407 yards and hurt San Francisco's secondary with multiple big plays, the biggest a 34-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts that tied the score at 17 late in the fourth quarter.
The defense eventually made enough stops to prevent a loss, most notably an incompletion on third-and-8 that forced the Cardinals to settle for the tying field goal with less than a minute remaining.
But it's that kind of leaky defense that had many faithful hoping for a loss, setting up a showdown with the NFC East champion instead of facing Rodgers. On what will probably amount to playing on a hockey rink.
"At this point, you don't care who you play," wide receiver Anquan Boldin said. "You're happy to be in the playoffs, and you look forward to whoever you have to play. At this point, all teams are good."
Can the 49ers win at Green Bay? Absolutely. Can they make a run and get back to the Super Bowl? The only team you could argue they can't beat is Seattle in the Northwest, and that's hardly impossible for this squad.
But there had better be another gear. Struggling to beat Atlanta at home and being outplayed most of the game at Arizona feels more like a decline from the momentum built off the home win over Seattle three weeks ago.
Fortunately for the 49ers, the playoffs are a new season, with new challenges and a new personality all its own. The real season, the one the Bay Area has been waiting for since the near-comeback in the Super Bowl, now begins.
What matters most is what's about to happen. That's what you can tell yourselves to pacify the growing concerns over the last couple of weeks.
"It's a new season, but the momentum definitely carries," said Kaepernick, who threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns. "We have to make sure we're on top of everything. Because it could be one-and-done."

Based on numerous research studies, ETS has developed principled frameworks that emphasize literacy as a set of practical tools to facilitate work on the job, at home, and around the community and that use real-world literacy tasks. The frameworks provide for the measurement of literacy along these proficiency scales, or types of literacy.
Prose literacy measures how well you understand and use information found in newspapers, magazines, novels, brochures, manuals or flyers. Most adults use prose literacy to answer questions, to learn how to do something or for entertainment. For example, you are using prose literacy skills when you:
- learn about quitting smoking from a brochure at your health clinic
- read a story or poem with your child
- join in the readings at a wedding or other ceremonies or events
- give your child medication as directed on the package
- read a newspaper or magazine to keep up on local and national events
Document literacy measures how well you find and use information in forms, schedules, charts, graphs and other tables of information. Most adults use document literacy to find information they need or want or to give information to someone else. For example, you are using document literacy skills when you:
- fill out a job application form or complete a credit card application
- use a bus or train schedule to retrieve specific information
- find out today's weather using a weather map
- use the TV guide to find the time that your favorite TV show starts
- sign a form giving permission for your child to go on a school field trip
- compare items in the warehouse to those listed on the inventory sheet
- retrieve information from a graph or chart
Quantitative literacy measures how well you can use numbers found in ads, forms, flyers, articles or other printed materials. Quantitative literacy is a little different from prose and document literacy because in addition to using a text to identify needed information, you also have to add, subtract, multiply, divide or do other math to get the information you need.
For example, you are using quantitative literacy skills when you:
- figure out how much commission you earned last month in your sales job
- add up how much you save when you use coupons to buy two items at a store
- calculate a 15 percent tip at a restaurant
- figure out the monthly cost of the milk program at your child's school
- keep score for your bowling team
- follow the instructions on a can of paint to calculate how many cans you need to paint a room
Health Skills
Health literacy measures how well you can understand and use health-related information. Materials included in this measure are judged to be related to one of five activities associated with where and why people take health-related actions. These include actions that involve health promotion; health protection; disease prevention; health care and maintenance; and accessing needed services or navigating the health-care system.
For example, you are using health literacy skills when you:
- follow instructions on how to take a medication
- read a brochure to determine your medical benefits
- use information on food or product labels to calculate nutritional content
- see a notice and determine whether or not you should have a screening or inoculation
- fill out a benefit application or patient history form
- read an article about diet or nutrition
- read a letter summarizing medical test results

ANAHEIM -- Between his offense and his defense, Josh Donaldson is in the middle of making himself an American League All-Star.
Monday night won't go down on the highlight reel he's putting together as the A's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels saw Donaldson go hitless in four at-bats and make three throwing errors.
Donaldson is hitless in his last 15 at-bats since a first-inning homer Friday in Baltimore, dragging his batting average down to .266. And he has made a dozen errors despite building the reputation as one of the league's premier defensive players.
It was, he said, "just one of those nights." And so it was for the A's, who saw the top four men in the batting order go a combined 0 for 15 against Angels starter Garrett Richards and the bullpen as the 39-25 Athletics saw their lead in the American League West over the Anaheim crew fall to 3½ games.
Donaldson picked up Hank Conger's bunt in the fifth inning of a game the A's trailed 2-1, threw it away, then saw Conger come around to score. The A's third baseman made another throwing error later in the same inning, bouncing it past Alberto Callaspo at first base.
In the ninth, Donaldson skipped another one past the 5-foot-9 Callaspo, although a more experienced and/or taller first baseman might have made the stop. Donaldson, ever the team player, wasn't throwing the blame at anyone else.
"It's just one of those things where it just kept building. The first one, I probably threw and it was unnecessary because Conger made a good bunt right there. I've got to put that one in my pocket.
"The second one, I'm trying not to let (Mike) Trout advance to third. I wound up throwing a cutter over there. The last one I did the exact opposite. It was one of those days. We'll try and leave it behind us, turn the page for tomorrow."
In the end, this one was more about Richards than about Donaldson's defense. Richards faced the A's in Oakland on May 30, gave up four runs before getting an out and five runs while getting just two outs before being lifted.
This time around, it seemed he might be in for a repeat when Richards missed with his first three pitches to Coco Crisp. But Richards rallied to get Crisp out, and the whole thing steamrolled. In seven innings, he allowed four hits and one run on a Stephen Vogt single in the second.
"The difference was Garrett was throwing strikes this time," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "The first time he was behind to everybody."
The A's wound up getting just five base runners.
Oakland starter Jess Chavez's command was suspect. He walked only one batter, but he hit two, and the walk and one of the hit batters accounted for the first two Angels runs.
"I was lucky to escape with only giving up three runs," Chavez said. "I had a couple of bad locations with runners on base. That's something I have to get back to working on. It's been my Achilles' heel the last three or four starts." Chavez has a nice 3.04 ERA for the year, but even with only two of the three runs scored off him Monday being earned, his ERA over his last four starts is 4.28. He's behind more hitters and giving up more hits, and he's not sure what the problem is.
"It could be mechanical," he said. "It doesn't feel like it, but I've got to go back and look (at video). It could be release point. It seems like something simple, nothing that I'm going to fret over."

In the past I have worked with several CAD-systems.
Now, in Fedora Linux, I like to learn working with QCad 18.104.22.168 (Community Edition).
I have made a drawing with dimensions.
To print it on a A4-Format paper, I have to scale it, no problem so far.
But after scaling, the dimensions becomes are also scaled.
A dimension of 140 becomes e.g. 70.
I think I don't use the right method to scale it for printing?
Thanks in advance for helping.
Many Greetings,
Gaston Verhulst.

Wood County Genealogical Society through our association with the Quitman Public Library has entered into an agreement which makes it possible to preserve many genealogical and historical documents in our care and solves the problem of how to make such items available to the public at large. As participants with the Northeast Texas Digital Collection of the Texas A&M at Commerce Libraries, we are able to scan and upload public domain documents at no charge to the society. Once online, they are available for researchers who have a family or historical interest in Wood County.
Texas A&M-Commerce Heirloom Archivist, Michael Aday, met with society members this fall and outlined how the program worked. He has returned and started scanning items for our area. We will later set up a workshop where he will teach society members how to do our own scanning and uploading.
A visit to this address link: http://dmc.tamu-commerce.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=/quitman will let members (and the public) see how the work is progressing.
As a special note to members who have been discussing what to do about our obituary collection, I suggest that while there, you also search for Camp County, Texas obituaries to see how they have approached that issue.

PITTSBURGH -- Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal in a shootout to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 4-3 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday at Consol Energy Center.
Malkin deked to the left and brought the puck back to the right to put a backhanded shot past Roberto Luongo. Ryan Kesler had a chance to prolong the shootout for the Canucks, but Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury stopped his attempt.
"I always liked [the shootout], but I didn't score [in previous attempts]," Malkin said. "Last year, I scored a couple goals, and the year before I scored lots of goals. Now, I know what's going on and I know the goalies and I just did my move and scored."
Luongo said he knew what Pittsburgh's first two shooters (Jussi Jokinen and Sidney Crosby) were going to attempt, but couldn't read Malkin.
"When Malkin came down, I wasn't sure what he was going to do," Luongo said. "Unfortunately, I bit on the fake and he went backhand. So I wish I would've been a bit more patient and got that one."
The Penguins remained unbeaten at home through five games.
Brandon Sutter had an opportunity to give Pittsburgh a one-goal lead with 1:24 left in the third period when he was awarded a penalty shot, but Luongo made a glove save to keep the game tied 3-3.
The Canucks took a brief lead in the third period when Zack Kassian deflected David Booth's point shot past Fleury to put the Canucks up 3-2 with 7:10 left.
Chris Kunitz found Olli Maatta charging toward the Vancouver net 22 seconds later and the 19-year-old defenseman sent the puck behind Luongo for his first NHL goal, tying the game.
Canucks coach John Tortorella said he was disappointed with the defensive lapse leading to Maatta's goal but was pleased with his team's performance.
"[Kesler] made a big hit, but the puck was available and they ended up with an odd-man rush," Tortorella said. "But you know what? We just kept on playing and found a way to get a point, and you want two, but I thought we played, for the most part, a number of minutes really well tonight."
Vancouver's top-ranked penalty killing unit (92.3 percent entering Saturday) shut down two Pittsburgh chances in the first period, but the Penguins took advantage of their third opportunity when Kunitz gave Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead 7:56 into the second.
Crosby passed the puck behind the net to Malkin, who sent it in front to Kunitz. The wing then slapped the puck inside the left post for his fourth goal of the season.
Crosby added a goal and a second assist to give him a League-best 17 points, six more than St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen and Vancouver's Henrik Sedin, who assisted on Alex Edler's first-period goal. Crosby's first-period goal, which tied the game 1-1, gave him seven on the season, tying him for the League lead with Steen and San Jose Sharks rookie Tomas Hertl.
Hertl and the Sharks face the Calgary Flames later Saturday.
On the Pittsburgh captain's tying goal, Pascal Dupuis' long shot deflected off Luongo's glove to Crosby, who took two whacks at the puck to send it into the back of the net.
The goal extended Crosby's point streak to eight games, the longest of his career to start a season.
"I think as a group, we're finding ways to win," Crosby said. "Today wasn't our best game, but [Fleury] shut the door when we needed him to and we found some ways to get back in the game and get a great goal from [Malkin] in the shootout.
"We still want to get better."
Brad Richardson tied the game 2-2 with 7:16 to play in the second. On an odd-man rush, Dale Weise carried the puck through the neutral zone and found Kevin Bieksa, leaving Richardson open. Bieksa slid a pass to Richardson, who one-timed a shot past a diving Fleury.
Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said he thought Vancouver controlled much of the game but allowed Pittsburgh to hang around.
"For half the game, I thought we played great," Sedin said. "The second half, I thought we gave up a little too many scoring chances. They came out on 3-on-2s, 2-on-1s a few times and [Luongo] made some big saves for us.
"But for half the game we were all over them."
The Penguins registered five shots in the first period but had several scoring chances; three shots rang off the goal cage.
Pittsburgh appeared to take a 1-0 lead when Chris Conner sent a shot off the post behind Luongo, causing the goal horn to blare and the linesman to point at the net. However, play continued while the Consol Energy Center crowd voiced its displeasure.
Matt Niskanen and Maatta also hit posts, while another bout of bad luck led to Vancouver's first goal.
Edler, in his first game back after serving a three-game suspension for a check to the head of Hertl on Oct. 10, attempted to send the puck deep into the Penguins zone by shooting it from center ice. The puck hit Fleury in the chest, popped into the air, went behind him and trickled over the goal line before he could lunge back to stop it, giving the Canucks a 1-0 lead with 6:11 left in the first.
Fleury rebounded nicely after the goal and stopped 36 of the 39 shots he faced.
"It was unfortunate, on the first goal he gets a shot up near his mask and he doesn't know where it is," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "He'd like to forget about the first one and I think he's able to with how he played and shootouts have been a strong suit and it was again for us."

SAN JOSE -- As an alleged prostitute charged with murdering a Monte Sereno millionaire appeared in court Thursday, police documents used to implicate her reveal a trove of new details illustrating how the victim's hedonistic lifestyle put him in the cross hairs of a web of call girls and gangs who allegedly schemed to rob and ultimately kill him.
Katrina Marie Fritz, 33, of Pittsburg, faces charges of murder in the commission of a robbery and a separate count of committing a home-invasion robbery in the Nov. 30 killing of Raveesh Kumra. Prosecutors have tacked on a gang enhancement to each of the counts in part because her brother is a purported member of one of two Oakland street gangs linked to the deadly heist.
Fritz briefly appeared in court with attorney Ken Mandel, who was hired by the Independent Defense Counsel's Office. She didn't actually walk into the courtroom but stayed in a prisoner hallway, presumably to avoid a TV camera. A handful of people showed up on her behalf in the court gallery but did not comment.
"She's anxious to get out, to look after her 7-year-old child," Mandel said, adding that Fritz also has a developmentally disabled brother in her care. "She's anxious to get out and care for them."
According to a police statement of facts submitted to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, Fritz was one of Kumra's "main girls" among a string of prostitutes he spent time with, "meeting and partying" with the victim for several years at his home and a nearby hotel, according to the police document. Police obtained records alleging he gave her as much as $30,000 to help her buy a home.
The police document stated Kumra met Fritz through a prostitution website and that the website's phone number was found in the contact list on his phone.
Kumra's comfort with Fritz was such that he let her and some of the other "main girls" stay at his home for weekends at a time and that they had free roam of the mansion, including the room of Kumra's wife, Harinder, who was injured in the home invasion. In one instance, according to another prostitute's account to police, Fritz brought her children to stay at the Kumra home.
That familiarity with the home is one of the pillars of the murder charge against Fritz: The side door she typically used to enter Raveesh Kumra's bedroom was the same one used by the intruders believed to have killed him, police say.
"Given the amount of time that Fritz had spent with Raveesh Kumra and having frequented his residence, Fritz would have been familiar with the layout of Raveesh Kumra's property, which door would be unlocked and normally used for entry, directions to his property, and details regarding the design of the house, including hidden closets and entrance points to property," the police document asserts.
Fritz, who was arrested Feb. 19 in Antioch, is the fourth person facing murder charges in the killing, joining her brother DeAngelo Austin, 21, and Javier R. Garcia, 21, both of Oakland, and Lukis D. Anderson, 26, of San Jose. Garcia and Austin were also charged with gang enhancements. At one point, Fritz was her brother's appointed guardian.
Raven Dixon, 22, another alleged prostitute, is charged with being an accessory to the killing. Her arrest on an unrelated prostitution charge and subsequent implication in Kumra's death was followed by the four murder arrests. Police say Fritz may have introduced Dixon to Kumra, and that they comprised two of Kumra's three "main girls."
Investigators have tied Garcia to an Oakland street gang dubbed Ghost Town and linked Austin to an affiliated street gang called Money Team. Police say the gangs teamed up to commit home invasions targeting "Asian and East Indian" families. DNA evidence linked Anderson to the killing; Garcia's DNA was also found at the home, according to authorities.
Prosecutors say cellphone records show Fritz and her brother were in contact during the home invasion that ended with Kumra's death and the beating of Harinder. Police say Austin was seen driving a number of Fritz's vehicles -- both owned and rented -- in the month following the killing.
The day after Kumra's death, police say, they recovered a text message between Austin and an associate stating that the crew's "house hitting" days were over, likely because of the police attention garnered by their latest robbery.
Detectives suggested in their reports to prosecutors that they are looking for other suspects.
A look at Fritz's court history shows she testified in a case involving the 2006 murder of a drug dealer in Antioch, where as a rental-car employee in Oakland she rented out a minivan used in the killing. She was ordered to testify after initially withholding information in the case, which she said was out of concern for her safety from the defendants, who had already killed a witness in an attempt to cover up the initial slaying.

Michael Jackson's former doctor Conrad Murray was released from jail Monday morning after serving two years of a four-year sentence for committing manslaughter in connection with Jackson's death.
So now, naturally, come the book and reality show deals.
TMZ reported that Murray started writing a book in jail and is looking to hire a publicist to work on his image.
What he should worry about is hiring some security guards because, as you may or may not know, Michael Jackson lovers put the "fan" in "fanatical."
I'll get a hundred angry emails for just writing that.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department told TMZ that Murray was released at 12:01 a.m. Monday, slipping out a back door to avoid photographers and a group of hecklers waiting for him.
I told you ...
The website has also reported that Murray plans to attempt getting his medical license back in Nevada and block revocation in California. Good luck with that.

Using your imagination, Olivia Newton-John's "Let's Get Physical" could've been the soundtrack music in the background while the Fort Frye girls' basketball team was defeating Johnstown-Monroe, 58-43, in a Division III regional final at Jim Myers Gymnasium in Logan Saturday.
Even though an old song, recorded long before anyone on the 2012-13 Lady Cadet roster was born, it was relevant - at least, for this contest.
"We're probably going to have some bruises tomorrow (Sunday)," said Fort Frye senior Deidra Combs after the victory, which clinched a state tournament berth in Columbus this week. (Fort Frye is scheduled to play Columbus Africentric in a semifinal at 1 p.m. Thursday.)

Fort Frye's Taylor Buchanan (center) battles Johnstown's Paige Cannon for the ball during regional final action at Logan Saturday. Johnstown's Laiken Valentine (33) and Maddi Lusk (14) observe.
"It was a pretty rough game," Combs continued, "and they (Johnstown) put up a really good fight, but we were pretty determined."
A pretty rough game might be an understatement. Just about every player on both squads took a spill on the hardwood at one time or another during the game. Driving the lane invited contact, and underneath the hoop after a missed shot, every rebound seemingly was contested.
In basketball lingo, the refs were letting the girls play. Technically, if they'd wanted to, they could've officiated a foul-plagued contest.
"When you get to this level, it is physical," said Fort Frye head coach Dan Liedtke. "I kept telling the girls to understand that a bump going to the basket is not a foul here.
"So, you've got to be tough, and you've got to play through it, and take care of the ball. Don't expect them to call fouls."
Perhaps miraculously, only one player - Johnstown sophomore Kerrigan Williams - got injured and had to be assisted off the floor just before the half. At the end of the game, though, she was limping under her own power.
"It was a physical game," said Fort senior Taylor Buchanan. "Everybody was flying everywhere. Everyone gave it their all, because there was a lot on the line."
A lot on the line like a first-time berth in The Final 4 in this week's state tournament in Columbus. Simply put, both teams competed and played hard.
"I think once you get to this point, you just play, and you get tougher," said Lady Cadet senior Micayla Hupp. "You just have to. This is how it is, I think."
During late second-half action, Fort Frye junior point Brooke Borich had a Johnstown defender draped all over her while dribbling on the perimeter. But she kept her cool and possession of the ball.
"Oh, yeah, it was rough," Borich said. "They had two big girls (6-2 Makenzie Spang and 6-foot Paige Cannon), and they were really strong. They weren't going to give us any room. They were going to try to push us around. But we didn't back down. We went right at them."
Liedtke agreed and added, "I knew we were playing a good team. We knocked them back on their heels a little bit. They'd been doing that to other teams. That's what they did to Fairland. We knew they were going to try to do that to us. We knew it was going to come down to a physical battle."
After the game, during the cutting-down-the-net ceremony, Combs did the honors first.
"We just got in line, and I was closest," said Combs later.
Thing is, as Combs approached and climbed the ladder, which was positioned in the lane under the basket, she looked around.
During the contest, if she'd had the ball, she likely would've gotten hammered in the same exact spot.
