When I click on the link for coupons.com through your website it is chopping off the right hand side of the page. I can't find anyway to navigate the page over to see the other coupons?
October 19, 2014, 1:55 PM
When I select my coupons and click print, I get the "your coupons are printing" message. 10 minutes later the message is still there but no coupons are printing. About 30 minutes later when I gave up, my printer stated printing. Whats up with that??

I did my first weigh in yesterday and i was 194.6 lb and i then weighed myself again this morning and i was 193 lb … water weight maybe? Im so pleased. 1.6 lb loss. Haha, it actually seems to be working. Don't worry i won't be doing daily weigh ins that will just make me obsessed. Weekly weigh ins it is! In general i much prefer cheese and onion pasties and macaroni pies! yummy! Along with the daily 3x cans of Coke. Terrible i know… But this has to stop, taking the world unhealthy to a new level. Im hoping i will have shifted 26lbs by the summer, so thats about 2 stones? I think that might be me getting ahead of myself bait, what do you all think? Anyways, just wanted to share this, i looks forward to reading the other diaries on here too - aly

Over our history, our faculty has included some of the most noted scholars and thought leaders in the world, including Carl Rogers, Victor Frankl, Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, H. Igor Ansoff, Jay Haley and Virginia Satir.

SANTA CRUZ -- Chris Meakin, a fleet maintenance worker with the city of Santa Cruz, looked forward to her half-hour long chats with detective Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker.
He would come by her shop to inspect cars used in undercover work and the two, who both started working for the city in the mid-1980s, would swap stories and a laugh or two. Baker even brought his teenage son to meet her when he joined became a community service officer a few years ago.
"He kept saying, 'I'm going to retire, I'm going to retire,' " Meakin said, her head hanging down after leaving Santa Cruz Memorial on Wednesday. "Every time I see his picture I choke up."
Meakin joined about 700 family members, friends, law enforcement officers and ordinary citizens who came to the funeral home Wednesday to view the flag-draped caskets of Baker, 51, and fellow detective Elizabeth Butler, 38, who will be honored in a public memorial service Thursday. The two were gunned down Feb. 26 by a sexual-assault suspect who was later shot and killed by authorities -- a tragedy that has shaken this seaside city of 60,000 like no event since the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
Thousands are expected at the HP Pavilion in San Jose -- and thousands more will watch live video feeds in Santa Cruz -- for a solemn tribute to the first officers killed in the line of duty in the police department's 150-year history. Up to 200 law enforcement vehicles are expected to participate in a morning procession that will wind its way from the historic Beach Boardwalk over Highway 17 to the 18,000-seat arena.
Police observed a private viewing of the caskets Sunday at Santa Cruz Memorial, which has donated its services for the two families. Baker, a 28-year veteran, leaves behind a wife and three children. Butler, a 10-year veteran, had two children and a partner.
Chico police Sgt. Scott Zuschin, a Soquel High graduate, didn't know either officer but returned to his hometown to attend Wednesday's viewing and Thursday's service.
"When we have this kind of thing happen in our profession, in our community, it has a ripple effect," Zuschin said. "It truly is a brotherhood."
The caskets, positioned underneath twin stained-glass windows, were covered entirely in American flags. Photographs of the fallen officers were placed near their caskets at the front of a 60-seat receiving room, where many mourners sat for several moments in silent reverence.
Randy Krassow, owner of Santa Cruz Memorial, offered to host the viewing for residents who were not able to attend the San Jose services. He said many people also wanted a more intimate experience than watching a video feed at Kaiser Permanente Arena or Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz.
"People wanted an opportunity to honor the officers," Krassow said. "Seeing something on screen isn't the same."
Mary Lou Jaquith of Santa Cruz came to pay respects on behalf of her daughter, Pacifica police officer Stacy Jaquith, who considered Baker a mentor. Baker inspired the one-time Boardwalk security guard to attend the police academy, Jacquith said, adding her daughter was injured in 2010 after being dragged outside a car by a fleeing suspect.
"She couldn't be here, so I'm here," the mother said. "When you're related to a cop, this is what you think about all the time. I'm just so brokenhearted for the families."
Maxine Palmer of Santa Cruz dabbed tears as she walked out of the funeral home with daughter Latasha Prim, who worked with Baker's son, Adam, at Marini's at the Beach candy shop.
"He is really going to be missed," Palmer said of Sgt. Baker. "He was more than a police officer. He was a friend, and he loved everybody."
Maria Villa Hernandez and husband Gabriel, who live in Watsonville but work in Santa Cruz, didn't know Baker or Butler. Still, they brought their two children and granddaughter to pay respects "for what they did for our town. They are our guardian angels."
Santa Cruz County deputy probation officer Jennifer Buesing said the shootings have been traumatic for local law enforcement officers, who know losing a colleague is always possible but never really expected.
"They are all our partners," Buesing said. "I don't think you can be adequately prepared."

"It's in the bag" book club kits are one of the many excellent services provided by Eagle Valley Library District for our local book clubs. If you are a member of one of the many book discussion groups in the valley, you may already be aware of these ready-made bags of popular, discussion provoking titles.
The kits, which are designed for the specific needs of book clubs, contain ten paperbacks of a featured title, along with a notebook including a sign-out sheet, discussion questions, book reviews and author interviews/biographical material. All of this is contained in a nice, sturdy, blue canvas bag.
One designated person of a book club checks out the bag and signs out the individual copies to book club members. This is much easier than having members buy their own books or wait for a library copy to become available.
If you're thinking of beginning your own book club, the library has just what you need to get started. Independent book clubs outside of the library can check out these bags for up to six weeks. Call Amy G. or Michelle M. at the Avon Library (949-6797) to schedule one for your group.
A few of the many book club kit titles available include "Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein, "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett, and "The Dovekeepers" by Alice Hoffman. To see a list of our complete selection, visit your nearest library and ask for a brochure, or visit our website at evld.org.
Or maybe you would like to join an existing book club? Each district library holds a monthly book club meeting open to the public. Here's the schedule and upcoming title selection at each library.
Eagle Public Library's number is 328-8800. Call 949-6797 to reach Avon Library, and 524-5080 for inquiries at Gypsum Library.
Eagle Public Library's book club meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. We will discuss "The Paris Wife" by Paula McClain at our next meeting on Jan. 28. Call me for more information.
Gypsum Public Library meets once a month on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. Next title is "Homecoming of Samuel Lake" by Jenny Wingfield, on Feb. 11. Call Susan with questions.
Avon Public Library meets the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. February's title is "The Art of Hearing Heartbeats" by Jan-Philipp Sendker. For more information, ask for Amy G.
Eagle Library is hosting a special book club to discuss the Russian classic, "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov. It will meet on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at 6:30 p.m. Call Jaci with questions about this book club.
Eagle Library will also be holding a book club in Spanish to discuss "Into the Beautiful North"/"Rumbo al hermoso norte" by Luis Urrea. Call Rocio if you are interested in joining this discussion group.
Gypsum and Eagle libraries also offer book discussion groups for young adults. For more information, call Julie in Gypsum, and Dale in Eagle.

Texting ban bust?
Complications surround enforcement of new texting law
June 15, 2013
Ohio's ban on texting while driving has passed its six-month warning period and has now been fully active since March 1....
Upriver sorry but I disagree. But the next time I'm out I'll take a survey.
Ha ha, jeesh I dunno but your mental image of some men who use cell phones sounds pretty kinky to me.
And maybe the males you spotted talking about their dates "got lucky" the night before with some hot babe. Now thats something to get excited about :). Oh yeah!

You guys get so cute when you're all frothy with what you think is righteous indignation.
FYI, I've been driving just shy of 25 years without so much as a parking ticket, on average about 15-20k miles a year, all over Ohio.
And yes, asknot, I actually can "read" texts without looking at my phone. The technology has been there for several years, so my car does it for me. I also use the hands-free if I need to actually make a call. But the talk-to-text translation stinks, so I reply in the old-fashioned way.
Please continue to draw conclusions about my habits based on zero information other than how YOU would react, since clearly I'm exactly the same as you. It's enjoyable.

Yeah, asknot, I can send a text without looking at my phone. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that nobody can. If you take a drink while driving, do you stare at the cup the entire time? Of course not. If you can take a drink of coke without distraction, I can send a text. It doesn't take a lot of effort to type "yes" and hit send.

Rocker, I strongly disagree that it's mostly women. I see just as many so-called men running their mouth on the phone while driving, in restaurants or stores as women or children. I always get this mental image of them having a little pink purse with a tiny poodle in it as they walk around acting like 15 year old girls talking about last night's date. What is it about a telephone that has turned so many males into squat to pee types?

I've been in the car with drivers who honestly can't understand why people are honking at them and giving them the finger. That's the big problem with impaired driving, most people think they're driving ok, but it's because their so out of touch because of the phone that they don't know how badly they are driving. For a long time now police reports have had a line saying "alcohol involved" to be marked yes or no. We're way past the time for a cell phone line. And it's not just driving accidents. Do people really believe that the spike in deaths of children forgotten in hot cars and cell phone use is a coincidence? Psychologists need to research what it is that makes being on a phone so critical to some people. Why do some people only feel alive while on the phone? The other thing, which I think would help the most, is for insurance companies to state that if you're on the phone you're not driving, therefore not covered.

I have no desire to text back and forth period. Even if you pull off the road to text or call someone back, the next thing you know you got a cop hassling you for I.D. and interrogating you as to why you pulled off the side of the road.
Quite frankly, I see more women with a phone stuck in their ear or texting than anyone out on the highway or anywhere else. I just don't get it! Of course no offense to the ladies :).

As usual, you missed the point. Because I am primarily involved in driving a car, if I need to send a text, I DON'T look at my phone. Maybe it takes me longer to send it, maybe I spell something wrong. No biggie. What I'm NOT going to do is pull over on the side of the freeway and then try to re-merge into traffic. That's simply absurd.
And Marshall, if you're going to slam somebody for being "special" or having a slow learning curve, learn to spell. I said I was a better driver than 99% of the people I share the road with, and I'm sticking by that. You don't know me, so you are free to disagree. But I know how I drive, and I see how the slackjawed yokels I see every day drive. And yeah, I'm better than them.

ASknot...Witty is just another prime example of the stupidity driving on the road while texting. Some people just don't care, Taking for instant how blatantly spoke being better than 99 % of all drivers. Goes to show that those special people have a slow learning curve. And probably won't wake up or won't be able to after there in a terrible accident that takes someone life or there own. While some get it. Most never will and don't care. I think the next person I see texting or talking on a cell phone. I will wait till the next stop light and stop my car..Knock on there window and say Hey can I use your phone..And if they let use it,I will Smash it right there in the middle of the Road. If they don't care about anybody's safety on the Road. I don't give 2 hoots about there stupid Phone !

The problem is not people who text while driving. The problem is people who drive while texting. If the primary thing you're doing is operating a motor vehicle, then texting becomes nothing more than flipping through radio stations. These bans are silly and ineffective. You can throw any number of biased studies at me, and I simply don't care. The fact remains that I'm a better driver than 99% of the people I see on the roads today, and if I need to send a text, I'm going to.

The law is bull. Should ban changing radio stations, changing CDs, reaching into the backseat, etc.
Texting while driving is just like any other part of driving. There are about 10 percent of us that can do it without putting anyone at risk. The other 90 percent of you shouldn't have drivers licenses to begin with.

If involved in an accident while using a cell phone, then the charge should be the same as for impaired driving/driving under the influence.

There's no need to "hunt down a texting offender". Watch 5 cars pass you and I believe you'll see at least 1 person texting. It's not just about driving while texting, it's about being behind the wheel of an engaged vehicle, i.e. at a stop sign or traffic signal. Gotoschool, was the driver who t-boned your car cited for texting while driving? If not, why not?

They should just ban all cell Phone activity while driving. I have seen many people with there Head up the rear end while talking on cell phone or texting. There is plenty of other things they need to concentrate on...LIKE DRIVING! And Paying Attention to there surroundings while driving.

How can tell if a person is texting???? I know.. Pull up next to them, if their eyes are buried in their crotch or their hands are below the steering wheel, it is a 99.9% winner. Oh wait, got another winner. If they are driving utilizing the new method of looking down through the floor boards while having no hands on the wheel.
It bothers me that this activity is nearing the danger of drinking/driving while intoxicated & agencies aren't doing anything. Just sit at a light, look left/look right, then pull someone over. If over 18, issue a warning & PSA. If under 18, issue citation. It is so simple. No excuses on this one folks

3.12-1 Intentional Infliction of
Emotional Distress
Revised to January 1, 2008
There are four elements that must be
established for a finding of intentional infliction of emotional distress: 1)
that the defendant intended to inflict emotional distress, or that the defendant
knew or should have known that emotional distress was the likely result of
(his/her) conduct; 2) that the conduct was extreme and outrageous; 3) that the
conduct was the cause of emotional distress experienced by the plaintiff; and 4)
that the emotional distress sustained by the plaintiff was severe.
The defendant's liability for
intentional infliction of emotional distress requires that you find that
(his/her) conduct exceeded all bounds usually tolerated by decent society.
Liability can be found only where the defendant's conduct has been so outrageous
in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of
decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized
community. Generally, the case is one in which the recitation of the facts to an
average member of the community would arouse (his/her) resentment against the
actor, and lead (him/her) to exclaim, Outrageous! Conduct on the part of the
defendant that is merely insulting or displays bad manners or results in hurt
feelings is insufficient to form the basis for liability based upon intentional
infliction of emotional distress.
In order for the plaintiff to prevail
on (his/her) claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress you must find
that the plaintiff has proved all of the elements of intentional infliction of
emotional distress.
If you find that the plaintiff has not
proved all of the elements of intentional infliction of emotional distress, then
you will return a defendant's verdict on this count.
Petyan v. Ellis, 200 Conn. 243,
253-54 (2003).
Whether a defendant's conduct is
sufficient to satisfy the requirement that it be extreme and outrageous and
whether the plaintiff's distress is sufficient to satisfy the requirement of
severe emotional distress are initially questions for the court to determine.
Only where reasonable minds could differ do they become issues for the jury.
Bell v. Board of Education, 55 Conn. App. 400, 409-10 (1999).
The jury must also find that the
injuries claimed by the plaintiff were proximately caused by the defendant's
conduct, so the court must also charge on causation.

Issue No 31 contains something for all tastes. The artists hail from Great Britain, Sweden, Holland, France, Spain, and Russia, the performances splendid, the music is varied, and the quality of pressings are excellent.
Do you own a gramophone? Can you play 78rpm discs? Many of these records have never previously been published. Others are major rarities in their original form.
Lilli Lehmann, Richard Tauber, John McCormack, Nellie Melba, Titta Ruffo, Dmitri Smirnoff, Joseph Schmidt, Feodor Chaliapine, Geraldine Farrar, Lev Klementieff, Vanni Marcoux, Jacques Urlus, Beniamino Gigli, Jussi Bjorling and Celestina Boninsegna – our list goes on and on!
Our records are pressed from the original metal parts used for pressing the discs in the days of 78s. They are not transfers or dubbings. Thus they are identical to original pressings, but instead of noisy shellac, we use vinyl which has a much lower surface noise. That means more of the music can be heard. And, modern technology enables us to produce better pressings than could be made 50 or more years ago.

SAN JOSE -- About 50 people gathered in the evening chill earlier this month for a candlelight vigil at Vine and Oak streets near downtown. They stood just feet from the crosswalk where 3-year-old Elijah Alvitre had been struck and killed by a pickup as he was pushed in a stroller.
Omar Torres, who once helped make a video highlighting the dangers of the intersection, told his neighbors that he was saddened by the Nov. 24 tragedy.
"But to be brutally honest, I was not surprised," he said. "It's everywhere throughout the city. We all should work harder to make our streets safer."
This has been a particularly dangerous year on roadways throughout San Jose, with 26 traffic fatalities involving a pedestrian or bicyclist -- the highest total since at least 1997 and the most of any city in the Bay Area. The victims range from young Elijah to an 82-year-old woman, and they have left concerned residents searching for reasons for the spike.
San Jose native Monica Garcia, for one, wonders why authorities aren't doing more to enforce traffic safety. She knew Elijah and lives near where a 17-year-old high school student died after being hit by a car Dec. 3 while pedaling through the intersection of Branham Lane and Vistapark Drive.
"It seems like every week something like this is happening," said Garcia, a mother of two. "This is not right that we have kids dying in the streets. The cops really need to crack down to help pedestrians."
But Sgt. Matt Christian, the head of the San Jose Police Department's traffic investigations unit, said the rise isn't easily explained. Most of the 21 pedestrian fatalities do share a common factor -- people traversing high-traffic thoroughfares at night and outside a crosswalk. But, he added, that isn't something law enforcement can control.
One example, Christian said, is a 50-year-old woman, clad in dark clothing, who was hit and killed the evening of Nov. 25 on Monterey Road near Phelan Avenue.
"Overwhelmingly, we're seeing people cross major roadways where they shouldn't be, especially at night," added Laura Wells, deputy director of the city's Department of Transportation.
The increasing pervasiveness of technology in everyday life also continues to play a role in making the streets more hazardous.
"Phones are not going away. Gadgets are not going away," Christian said. "But we need to start focusing. One split-second of not paying attention, and it can change your life forever."
A 14-year-old girl killed Nov. 24 while crossing the street in front of James Lick High School was using her cellphone in a nonsignaled crosswalk when one car stopped for her, but a vehicle in the next lane did not, police said.
That sort of mutual inattention -- by pedestrians and drivers alike -- was blamed for at least five of the city's pedestrian fatalities this year.
This isn't just a San Jose problem, said Tony Dang, deputy director of the statewide advocacy group California WALKS. He cites National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data that show the proportion of pedestrian fatalities compared to all traffic deaths has been trending upward -- reaching 22.4 percent in California in 2011, ranking behind just three other states.
This year, the 26 pedestrian and bicyclist deaths among San Jose's overall traffic fatalities of 39 represents the highest such proportion in nearly two decades. Those numbers don't include two pedestrian deaths in unincorporated parts of San Jose, including the hit-and-run death of a man on Bascom Avenue early Tuesday.
"Technology has improved the safety for people in cars, but we haven't invested in safety for other users of the roads," Dang added. "So while traffic fatalities are going down in the state, the share of people walking and riding their bikes (who die) are going up."
The picture was mixed in 2013 throughout the rest of the Bay Area. Oakland has recorded only seven pedestrian fatalities, while Fremont has none.
But San Francisco, one of the nation's most walkable cities, has seen pedestrian fatalities rise from 16 last year to 17. There, half of all traffic deaths are pedestrians, said Nicole Schneider, executive director of Walk San Francisco. "It's important to remember that we're putting people up against two-ton, fast-traveling vehicles," she added.
San Jose officials say the city is taking steps to improve pedestrian safety, including 32 projects that either recently had been completed or are in the design stage -- such as upgrading crosswalks with flashing beacons, constructing pedestrian refuge islands in the middle of intersections and adding radar speed display signs. Also, the city and Santa Clara County's Traffic Safe Communities Network have education programs aimed at school-age children and seniors, who make up the majority of pedestrian deaths.
Few of this year's fatalities are being prosecuted as felonies, but one exception is Rickey Lartigue, 55, who was charged with murder after backing over a 43-year-old man walking across Leeward Avenue in East San Jose on Aug. 17. Lartigue is accused of driving drunk and had six prior DUI convictions.
Still, only a handful of traffic fatalities a year result in charges, because of a lack of witnesses or evidence of gross recklessness on the part of drivers. Even those who are prosecuted for misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter typically receive sentences of community service.
"It's one of the only areas of the law where you're charged with a crime for being negligent. There's no intent to cause harm," said assistant district attorney James Gibbons-Shapiro.
Both Gibbons-Shapiro and Christian, the traffic sergeant, said ideally, drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians have to work in unison to ensure a safe road. But the reality is an increased safety burden rests with nonmotorists because they are more vulnerable.
"Reviewing these cases, it really struck me how thin a line it is between life and death," Gibbons-Shapiro said. "Drivers need to constantly remind themselves how unpredictable and dangerous it is what they're doing. And pedestrians need to remind themselves that not all drivers are as cautious as they should be."
Staff writer Mark Gomez contributed to this story.
11 percent of all crashes resulting in an injury or fatality involved pedestrians.
95 percent of pedestrian or bicycle crashes that resulted in a fatality occurred on major roads.
44 percent of pedestrian or bicycle crashes that resulted in a fatality involved people 61 years and older.

Wear bright or reflective clothing when walking or biking at night. Bikes should have lights and reflectors. Pedestrians should consider carrying a flashlight.
Obey all traffic signs and signals.
Cross at intersections or crosswalks, not in the middle of the road or between parked cars.
Watch for traffic the entire time while crossing a street. If one car stops, don't assume that other motorists will also stop, especially on multilane roads.
Don't be a distracted driver. Attention should be on the road at all times.
Slow down in neighborhoods and near schools. And watch out for children.

ANTIOCH -- There was something vaguely Hitchcockian about the scene in John Lambert's backyard.
The bees had appeared one fine spring day without warning. Not an annoying handful of them. Not dozens. Not even hundreds. They had arrived by the thousands.
"There was this cloud -- they were swarming," said Lambert, who's never seen anything like it in the 26 years he's lived in his Antioch home.
The insects landed in a cluster on a latticed fence, and after waiting several days for the 3- to 4-pound mass to move on, Lambert brought in a professional beekeeper to stage an intervention.
'Tis the season for swarms as bees get busy doing the wild thing, an annual ritual that can keep beekeepers hopping as well.
As the weather warms and trees blossom, nectar starts to flow -- a trigger for queen bees to shift into overdrive. Once in full swing, these egg-laying machines can produce 1,500-plus eggs a day. More bees means more honey, which a colony must stockpile to survive the winter.
But hives have only so much room, and if they become too full of insects and food, part of the colony will split off in a mass exodus to search for a new home where it can continue reproducing.
Engorged with honey to sustain them on their trip, they typically stop off at least once during the house-hunting mission to rest. They will collect on a spot within minutes and the layovers can occur anywhere: Brentwood beekeeper Kelly Knapp has received requests to remove colonies not only from the usual trees and bushes, but from fences, the ground, under the eaves of houses and even car mirrors.
Bees also have congregated inside chimneys, under manhole covers and on heavy construction equipment.
Mike Harrel, the beekeeper who received Lambert's S.O.S., once had to scale a crane to retrieve a colony that had collected on the top of it. He also recalls the time a Concord police dispatcher contacted him asking if he could rescue an officer who had locked himself in his patrol car after a swarm landed on the vehicle.
"He wouldn't open his window," he said.
Oakland beekeeper Jonathan Zamick understands the apprehension.
"The sky turns dark, and they'll be flying all around ... and if you don't know bees, that's going to be scary," he said.
The record-breaker for Knapp was a colony that had gathered inside a home under construction on the outskirts of Oakley.
"It was like something out of the Bible. I've never seen anything like it," she said, noting that she needed about nine 5-gallon buckets to contain all the bees she sucked up with a shop vacuum.
But swarming bees are docile, said Zamick, a member of the Alameda County Beekeepers Association who volunteers to remove clusters where they're not welcome.
Wearing only a T-shirt and shorts, he once extricated an enormous colony that stretched several feet along a tree branch and hung down about 2 feet. When he's stung, it's nearly always because he's accidentally crushed a bee, Zamick said.
This time of year the buzzing insects can keep beekeepers hopping: The swarm season has barely begun, but at its height, Knapp can get up to 10 calls a day from all over the county. She estimates she removed 25 colonies last year; Harrel says his count was around 120.
Colonies usually stay only a few days before moving on, but if the spot provides protection from inclement weather and a food supply they're looking for, property owners had best act quickly to prevent the bees from building a hive in their home.
"They don't waste a moment -- their life depends on them setting up a colony," Harrel said.
If bees settle into a wall, it's costly to extricate them, said Harrel, who charges $400 for the two hours the job usually takes.
What beekeepers remove they almost invariably use to expand their own colonies.
Even though Harrel also operates a pest control business and it's typically less expensive for a customer to have a colony exterminated than moved, he prefers saving bees when possible.
So do an increasing number of environmentally conscious types who aren't hobbyists but call those who are when they encounter a swarm because they're dimly aware that the number of hives in the United States has plummeted over the past six years.
"Their comment is, 'I know there's something wrong with the bees,' " said Mark Paterson, a Campbell resident and vice president of the Santa Clara Valley Beekeepers Guild who collects upward of 15 swarms a season.
It's because there's so much that's right about the creatures that Brentwood area beekeeper Sterling Hogan gladly comes to the rescue when swarms show up in an inconvenient spot.
The pollinating these industrious little insects do is responsible for about one-third of the food we eat, he says.
"I hate to see people kill bees with a can of Raid," he said. "It's amazing to watch them work."

I also think that Clinton, JFK, FDR, Nixon, Eisenhower and Wilson were all great Presidents. Sure, there might have been a better choice out there somewhere, but it's not like we're getting left with nothing.
I've never been impressed with the man. Anyone who is willing to sit through Reverend Wright's sermons immediately frightens me. I find his arrogance repulsive at times. Quiet confidence is one thing, but the way carries himself (and from the way he's been built up by others) it almost feels as if he believes everything he does is "ordained". This self righteousness isn't good for our country in any way. Before you go assuming i'm bashing Democrats, i understand both sides are responsible for this behavior and I believe this is a disastorous problem for our country when selecting candidates.
R/D feel the need select a candidate that is destined to anger the other side because they're forced to push an agenda based on party guidelines. There is 0 compromise because each side believes they are 100% correct. It's pretty present on these forums as well when you think about it on both ends of the spectrum.

Definition of neigh in English:
A characteristic high whinnying sound made by a horse.
Example sentences
- In a decision that speaks well of his integrity but poorly of his abilities as a children's entertainer, screenwriter John Fusco decided that his equine characters communicate only through neighs and whinnies.
- Shortly afterward, the others heard whinnies and neighs and the two rescuers urging their steeds forward.
- The nearest horses reared, shooting out two-foot flames, making a sound that was a cross between a neigh and a roar.
verb[no object]

- Generators are running all night and their horses are neighing and the dogs barking.
Old English hnǣgan (verb), of imitative origin; compare with Dutch dialect neijen.
nag from Middle English:
In the sense 'to find fault persistently', nag was originally a northern English expression meaning 'to gnaw or nibble' that probably came from Scandinavia or Germany. The first written evidence is from the early 18th century, but may well be earlier, as dialect expressions are often used for a long time before they appear in print. Nag meaning 'an old or worn-out horse' is a different word. It may be from early Dutch, or it could be related to neigh (Old English). See also hack, jade

Will Taxes Chase Pacquiao-Marquez V to Asia?
Top Rank chief executive Bob Arum is targeting September for the fifth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, he said Thursday. But unlike the first four meetings between Pacquiao and Marquez, this fight might not be in Las Vegas, the boxing promoter said. In fact, it might not even be in the U.S. The reason: taxes. Pacquiao and others are reluctant to lose too large a chunk of their income from the fight to the government, Arum said, when other countries can play host. "Enough is enough," he said.
Top Rank president Todd duBoef even scouted The Venetian resort in Macau, China, for a tuneup fight in April for Pacquiao, though a fight in China would likely start around noon to coincide with prime time in the U.S. "You could do it at 4 a.m. with the Chinese gamblers and they don't know the difference," Arum said. But that plan fell through because of a scheduling conflict with a "Korean pop star," Arum said.
Now, he said, Pacquiao will likely wait until September for another fight Marquez, with Macau, Singapore and Mexico City as potential hosts. Still, Arum wouldn't rule out the possibility that Pacquiao and Marquez would meet again in Las Vegas, where Marquez knocked out Pacquiao in December.

NEWARK -- It would be impossible for Tim Jones to be everywhere at once while giving back to his longtime city. But that doesn't stop the Newark man from trying.
Jones, a mortgage banker by day, is a serial volunteer who tirelessly donates time, money and anything else he can to help the Tri-City area. He gives most to the Newark Police Department, where he works part time and leads the charge on programs ranging from graffiti removal to neighborhood crime prevention.
"Everything I'm doing is about making Newark a cooler place to be," said Jones, 55. "It's turning into a city with a booming Silicon Valley aspect, but we still haven't lost our small-town flavor. Let's hang on to that for dear life."
Jones, married with a grown daughter, has been a Newark resident since 1968, when his family moved from Merced. Since then, he said his love for the city has steadily grown. "We're lucky to live in this country and to be able to live the way we do, and I feel the same way about Newark," he said. "This is a great town and I'm willing to work to keep it that way."
Jones does that by filling the small but important gaps that keep several parts of the city's public safety units running smoothly. He first got involved in 1993, when his daughter's fourth-grade classmates listed graffiti as one of the things that most scared them. "I thought, 'You can't have kids being afraid of that,'" he said. "I needed to do something about it."
Jones joined the graffiti abatement team and spent his first day painting Highway 84 sound walls. He said he was hooked by the "instant gratification" of leaving pockets of the city looking better than how he found them. Jones' role in eliminating graffiti grew so much that, in 2007, city officials asked him to supervise the program's team of nearly 30 volunteers.
"What we're saying (to taggers) is, 'Don't bring your trash to town, that's not what Newark is,'" he said. "Plus, at the end of the day, we all feel good because we know we're making a difference."
Donna Shearn, Newark police's community engagement manager and Jones' supervisor, said he has stocked and repaired painting supplies, kept the vehicles fueled, ensured the paint is tinted in the most usable color and organized volunteer schedules and graffiti locations.
"He's constantly going," Shearn said. "And it's not about anything more than he just wants to help people."
Jones assists Shearn in directing other programs, such as Neighborhood Watch, which aims to lower crime by teaching residents to be on the lookout for suspicious characters, while putting them in touch with each other and police. In less than a year, more than 35 neighborhoods have signed on -- a large number for this city of nearly 42,600 people.
Jones' eagerness to answer neighbors' questions and provide residents with the necessary paperwork and contact information is a big reason for the program's fast-rising popularity, said Ann Mansell, a Neighborhood Watch captain for her street.
"He's fast and efficient, and he's personable," she said. "We've gotten closer to our neighbors through Neighborhood Watch and he's fostered that for us."
In addition, he helps manage volunteers for R.A.V.E.N., a new police program in which residents perform police clerical duties, interview witnesses of minor crimes, check on vacationers' homes and act as extra eyes on the streets, Jones said.
He continues to contribute to Newark police in many ways, Shearn said, such as when he built door stops for police station offices, shampooed the carpets and painted the offices on two floors and installed a locker for volunteers.
For about a decade, Jones and his wife, Stephanie, cooked side dishes for the League of Volunteers' free Thanksgiving supper at Newark Pavilion and delivered hot meals to those in need on the holiday. In recent years, he has assisted another Newark charity -- the Viola Blythe Community Service Center -- in organizing its food pantry.
Jones has been nominated three times for Viola Blythe Volunteer of the Year, an annual award given to Newark's most selfless residents. He was awarded the honor for the first time last year.
"There are basic rules of life: If you take it out, put it back where you found it. If it needs to be fixed, help fix it," he said. "If you're not willing to be part of the solution, then you shouldn't be complaining about the problem."

OAKLAND -- There was so little difference between the Raiders and the Denver Broncos last season that it took a tiebreaker to determine the AFC West champion.
Less than a year later, the Raiders are down on their luck and near the bottom of the standings at 3-9, their fans having little to root for except the possibility of the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
The Broncos are 9-3 and already have successfully defended their division title. And with the performance of offseason acquisition Peyton Manning, Denver could be on its way to meeting even the wildest of expectations.
Yin meets yang Thursday night at O.co Coliseum when the Raiders attempt to snap a five-game losing streak against the Broncos, winners of their past seven.
"That's the NFL," Raiders cornerback Michael Huff said recently. "You really don't know year to year what's going to happen."
Life is good in Denver, with the Broncos gearing their play toward the postseason and hoping to get a first-round bye.
The Raiders, meanwhile, have an unhappy fan base, an owner in Mark Davis growing increasingly unhappy with the product and a disappointing middle linebacker in Rolando McClain serving the second game of a two-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.
Even worse, the Raiders have been touched by tragedy.
Coach Dennis Allen will be on the sideline two days after losing his father Grady, who died at 66. Allen returned to the Bay Area on Wednesday morning and was on the field for practice.
Less than a month ago, Tyson Williams, the 4-year-old son of Raiders defensive-line coach Terrell Williams, died of a sudden illness at Children's Hospital in Oakland.
"It's been a tough year for our staff as far as going through adversity," linebackers coach Johnny Holland said.
There were plenty of clues as to where the two teams were headed Sept. 30, when the Broncos blew out the Raiders 37-6 in Denver.
Manning completed 30 of 38 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns, and Willis McGahee rushed for 112 of Denver's 165 yards on the ground as the Raiders surrendered 503 yards on defense.
The Broncos sacked Carson Palmer three times and shut down running back Darren McFadden, who had a history of playing well against Denver.
McFadden participated fully in practice Wednesday and is listed as probable to face Denver after missing four games because of a high right-ankle sprain. Backup running back Mike Goodson is probable as well, and while defensive tackle Richard Seymour will miss his fifth consecutive game because of a hamstring strain, the Raiders are as healthy as they have been in weeks.
Any chance the Raiders have of an upset probably would include success running the ball and keeping the ball away from Manning as much as possible.
During McFadden's absence, the Raiders' run-blocking has improved, with offensive coordinator Greg Knapp crediting improved play by center Stefen Wisniewski and the return of right tackle Khalif Barnes.
"We were kind of working through a lot of things when (McFadden) was healthy in the new scheme, but now with as many games as we have underneath our belt up front, getting him back will be a big bonus for us," Palmer said.
On defense, coordinator Jason Tarver conceded facing Manning will be just as tall an order on normal rest as it is with two days of practice.
"You're never really ready to play Peyton Manning," he said. "It's a matter of getting on the same page and having enough coverage looks to hopefully slow down his progression, and challenging guys in coverage."

NEW YORK -- Bartolo Colon makes his living throwing fastballs with precision for strikes.
Occasionally hitters who make their living hitting fastballs beat him at his own game.
Such was the case Saturday at Yankee Stadium when New York's Chris Stewart and Lyle Overbay homered on strikes early in the count to carry the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the A's.
"Everybody knows Bartolo," Stewart said of the 39-year-old right-hander. "He likes to throw strikes early in the count, and he tries to live down in the (strike) zone. It's a bonus for us when he's up.
"You don't want to go up there as a hack machine. You've got to see the pitch first. But when you do, you've got to swing."
Colon wasn't up much, but with the A's offense in shackles for eight innings courtesy of Phil Hughes, that was enough. Hughes threw four-hit shutout ball for that stretch, and by the time Oakland roughed up the Yankees bullpen, including Mariano Rivera, in the ninth, it was too late.
"Bartolo missed a couple of spots, that's it," catcher John Jaso said. "Other than that, his off-speed stuff was awesome."
It was the fastball, Colon's most reliable pitch, that wasn't where it needed to be, although if Jaso's bid for a homer to open the game hadn't been pulled back in the park by Gold Glove right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, the tale of the tape might have been considerably different.
Colon's fastball when he won the 2005 American League Cy Young Award was an almost unhittable 98 mph. He doesn't live in that Zip code any more thanks to age and wear and tear on his arm, but he hasn't stopped throwing fastballs. He's often at 90-91 mph now, so location has become increasingly important.
Talking through interpreter Ariel Prieto, Colon said it was just one fastball, the third-inning 1-0 pitch to Stewart, that hurt him.
"It was supposed to be outside, and it went inside," Colon said. "Everything else was OK."
Overbay homered on the first pitch of the fifth inning, also on a heater, and the Yankees add single runs in the sixth and seventh, by which time Colon was out of the game.
Colon said he knows Stewart, Overbay, the Yankees and the rest of the league aren't surprised by the way he pitches anymore. That doesn't mean he can't win the war.
"When the hitter knows the pitcher throws a lot of strikes, they will be ready," he said. "Sometimes when I'm on the mound, I think 'why don't I throw more balls rather than so many strikes?' But the main thing is to get ahead of the hitter."
Colon is good at that. In six starts he's been so consistently ahead of the hitters that he's only walked one man.
Hughes doesn't have that kind of control, although he's better than most. He walked two Saturday, as many as he's allowed in any game this year.
He left the Yankees in great shape, up 4-0 after eight innings. The A's weren't quite finished, however. Shawn Kelley took over and gave up a single to Yoenis Cespedes. Rather than let Kelley work his way out of trouble, New York manager Joe Girardi went to Rivera even though there was no chance for a save.
But Rivera walked Brandon Moss, and after Josh Donaldson grounded out, Seth Smith drove in a run with a single and Josh Reddick added another with a ground out before Adam Rosales, batting as the potential tying run, flew out.

His family's passion was music. His passion was peace.
Later this month those missions will merge in Walnut Creek when the California Symphony pays tribute to J. Christopher Stevens, the Piedmont resident and U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed Sept. 11 in a militant attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi.
David Commanday, his stepbrother, was preparing to guest conduct the Oct. 18 concert at the Lesher Center for the Arts when he and his family, including Stevens' mother, Mary Commanday, and stepfather, Robert Commanday, of Piedmont, received the news.
"It's a tragic loss for everyone," says David Commanday, who grew up in Kensington and now resides in Illinois, where he is the founding artistic director of Central Illinois' Heartland Festival Orchestra.
The symphony concert will be the second public memorial that week for Stevens, after a service two days earlier at San Francisco City Hall.
When Commanday's father wed Stevens' mother in 1976, Commanday was finishing up at Harvard University and Stevens was in high school, later to enter UC Berkeley. But the young men quickly bonded over beach trips and home improvement projects.
"Chris had a knack for enjoying the good in everyone he encountered," Commanday says. "He was a great man."
Commanday was devastated by his stepbrother's death and began to revisit his plans for the upcoming concert, crafting the program as an homage to the late U.S. ambassador, who grew up loving music. Stevens' mother, Mary, is a retired Marin Symphony cellist. His stepfather, Robert, the founding editor of San Francisco Classical Voice, was the music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1965 to 1993.
"There were many concerts every week and conversations about music and performances all the time," he recalls. "Music was real and important to him, and he took pleasure in it."
Commanday updated the original program, which explored themes of magic and mystery for Halloween, to feature works that honored his late stepbrother's dedication to "peace, understanding and progress."
To open the concert, he added John Williams' "Summon the Heroes," a "thrilling piece" originally written for the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics that celebrates discipline and idealistic dedication, qualities that defined his stepbrother, Commanday says. The concert will also feature Falla's "Ritual Fire Dance" and Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite."
Commanday is one of seven conductors auditioning for the job as music director for the Walnut Creek-based professional orchestra.
California Symphony Executive Director Walter Collins says it is an honor to be part of a program that celebrates an East Bay native and UC Berkeley graduate who "waged peace" and that uses the healing power of music to bring comfort to Stevens' family, many of whom will attend the concert.
"He was a man who stood for everything related to freedom of expression," Collins says. "He loved the arts, and we want to celebrate his life by performing music at the highest possible standard. Though, as his stepbrother says, I think if Chris had his druthers, he'd want this concert to be in Benghazi or Tripoli so the Libyan people could appreciate the music, as well."
Stevens, a graduate of UC Berkeley, and later of UC Hastings College of the Law, had served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco, which sparked his interest in the Middle East. Fluent in French and Arabic, he spent the majority of his 20-year career in the Middle East and North Africa, forming a strong bond with the country's people as he worked to liberate them from the tyranny of Moammar Gadhafi. The exact circumstances of Stevens' death remain a mystery, but his death created an international outcry.
A gathering of music seems a particularly appropriate way to honor him, says Stevens' stepfather, Robert Commanday.
"He was such a happy and outgoing person," Robert says. "It's a great opportunity to join in the general spirit that is coming from all over the world. If you go to RememberingChrisStevens.com you will see letters that show affection for and appreciation of Chris because he was such a positive person. He's kind of become a symbol of what is good."
'Salute to a hero'
Guest conductor David Commanday leads "Salute to a Hero" in honor of his late stepbrother, U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18, Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Center Drive, Walnut Creek. Single tickets start at $35; season subscriptions start at $130. 925-943-7469. www.californiasymphony.org.
PUBLIC memorial
The public can attend a memorial service at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 16 in the rotunda at San Francisco City Hall, 1 Polk St., San Francisco. The family has set up the J. Christopher Stevens Fund to support activities that build bridges between the people of the United States and the Middle East. To donate or post a remembrance, go to www.rememberingchrisstevens.com.

Pines buys room for expansion
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 8:12 p.m.
SARASOTA - A subsidiary of Pines of Sarasota bought an office building, two warehouses and eight acres of land just north of downtown from a Jacksonville cement company.
The subsidiary, 1100 Central Avenue Corp., bought the properties from Gate Precast Co., a company managed by Dean Gwin, for $1.9 million.
Pines of Sarasota is a nonprofit company that provides housing and nursing home care for about 250 needy seniors on its 17-acre campus just north of the purchased properties.
"We're not ready at this point to provide a statement about how the land will be used," said John W. Overton, the organization's president and chief executive.
But Overton said it is safe to assume the property will provide an opportunity for Pines of Sarasota to expand services.
"The land we just bought is right next to our property between 12th and 17th streets on Orange Avenue," he said.
Founded in 1948 by the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota, Pines of Sarasota now operates a 10-building senior care campus.
The former owner of the Central Avenue properties paid about $2.4 million the land.
Gate Precast bought the 2,100-square-foot office building at 1199 N. Orange Ave. and an adjacent 18,414-square-foot heavy industrial warehouse for $1.237 million in August 2001.
It paid another $1.174 million in May 2006 for the rest of the property, which included a 3,128- square-foot warehouse and three acres.

Last night's SNL featured a fantastic Lana Del Rey impression from Kristin Wiig during "Weekend Update." In the sketch, LDR responded to the people who criticized her performance on the show, though she did not mention Brian Williams by name.
Another standout sketch was a promo for Downton Abbey if it were airing on Spike. It's probably a bad idea to call the Dowager Countess a "chicken lady" but really funny all the same.

Just two weeks before Veggielution's annual fundraising dinner, thieves broke into the community farm at Emma Prusch Park and stole tools and equipment worth about $5,000.
On Aug. 9, Veggielution's associate director Mark Medeiros put out a plea on Facebook for donations to help replace rototillers, a chipper, a heavy duty carjack and other tractor repair equipment, as well as many smaller items that were stolen. "We hope to raise an additional $1,500 to purchase security cameras, signs and locks that will help prevent problems like this in the future," Medeiros wrote in his post.
Within hours of the post, Veggielution had almost $2,000 in donations. "We're hoping to be whole again by next week," Medeiros wrote later that day.

Nationally, Briscoe ranks fourth in scoring and 13th in free throw percentage.
No. 10 Pikeville is 26-6 on the season and earned one of the MSC's two automatic bids into the NAIA National Tournament.

NY expects further drop in prison inmates
Population expected to drop by 1,000
New York officials project the state's prisons will shed 1,000 more inmates over the next four years, partly because of relaxed drug laws.
That follows a 25 percent drop since 1999.
The inmate population is below 55,000 after peaking at more than 72,000 in 1999 under the harsh Rockefeller-era drug laws.
Over the same period, authorities report a nearly 20 percent drop in violent crimes and property crimes.
Several sentencing provisions have been eased since the drug laws were enacted in 1973. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller championed them to fight a drug epidemic and related crime.
The prisoner total is expected to fall another 4 percent in four years.
As a result, the state has been closing minimum- and medium-security prisons and camps.

This Saturday at 8:45 a.m., Dogma Athletica will hold a special yoga class open to the public and is complimentary to first-time participants to Dogma Athletica. The class will be co-taught by Dogma Athletica owner Rod Connolly and Dogma Yoga Studio director Elena Georgouses. It is based on the Dogma Yoga Studio's March theme of fearlessness. This is a great opportunity for Vail Valley yogis to deepen their practice and experience a guided meditation and challenging physical practice based on the same intention.
"Traditionally it is said that confusion and fear prevent us from experiencing our true nature," said Georgouses who has 25 years of meditation and yoga experience. "Yoga helps uncover the essence of who we are. It's the ultimate 'come as you are' party."
"We will use our mats as our personal laboratory to learn and discover more about ourselves," she continued. "Our breath anchors us in the present moment so that we can create space to be aware of whatever arises in our bodies and mind. We actually start to develop confidence simply by showing up fully and discovering that withdrawing or shutting down or becoming aggressive isn't necessary."
Yogis who would like to attend this special class are encouraged to show up about 10 to 15 minutes early to check in.
Dogma Athletica is located in the Riverwalk in Edwards. Call 970-688-4433 for details.

This is the second and last show at the Agora in Cleveland within a year and 57th of the tour. After seeing Phish open for Santana in the summer of 92 I asked my friends about who these guys were and the response I got was, If you see them come around on their own, GO AND SEE THEM! So my college roommates and I piled into the Chevy and went off to the Agora. I think the last time I was there I saw Testament open for Sepultura in 91. That shows you where I was at musically at the time. That metal mentality served me well as I worked my way right up to the front of the stage before show time. Since there are no mosh pits at Phish shows I had an unimpeded view of the band all night, especially Fishman. I am a drummer for the most part so this really floored me. If I reached out far enough I swear I could have grabbed his hi-hat stand, I was that close! What transpired there for the next three hours in front of my pie-eyes was the most enlightening and ridiculous musical thing Ive ever seen. Im sure most of you know what I mean. I just stood there, didnt eat, drink, pee, move or even talk to anyone. So here I am almost twenty years later getting ready to go back to Blossom this summer to see where it all began for me and also reliving one of my favorite moments in this life, 4-22-93 at the Agora!
Suzy is a pretty good opener tonight and there seems to be a pause in there during Pages solo like they are still getting settled in with the monitors. Sparkle was average for this tour and Trey sounds a little off. This continues during Ice. Reba was good, maybe a few off spots, but well-done overall. Chalk Dust rocks as usual, but Trey is still a little off tonight. Esther also shows a few minor problems, but not too bad. The handclaps from the crowd are more apparent in this version of Stash than most of this tour and the jam is just great with a very dynamic ending. Sounds like Trey may have pulled himself out of tune a bit during an average Fee. They fade out and Trey breaks out Rift. This one still had timing problems in the middle, but I didnt know that at the time. Golgi was a good solid closer to this madness.
Llama rips open the second set in blistering fashion, and I remind you Im right in front of Fish so this is sweet for a metal kid. Bouncing was ok, pretty average and it sounds like Trey screams Rock out! at the end. ATR was solid and I cant believe the different genres they have taken us through so far. Tweezer lays down the funk and had the slow down ending, which Trey eventually calls off, and starts the Lizards lick. Pretty decent Lizards overall and they just keep coming with heavy hitters. Then the Balls come out and I have lost all hope of understanding at this point. YEM also blew me away, including the Vibration of Life jam, the tramps, and the vocal jam! Who are these guys? Pen shows some bluegrass flavor late in the set. HYHU brings Fish out and I got to see Trey right in front of me on the kit for some great stage banter about Fishs theme song. Love You was funny and the drummer plays a vacuum too??? Tweeprise sums up the rocking second set nicely.
I didnt know it then, but AC/DC was still kind of rare at this point and this one was pretty good for the encore, not great. Then everyone gets shushed for Grace and I still cant believe the talent and the amount of different songs I heard out of the same band that night.
In the grand scheme of things, this tour, their career, this is an average show for the most part and as much as I would love to give five stars for my first real show, Ive got to go with four.
