SANTA CLARA -- Former 49ers coach Mike Singletary urged Vernon Davis to maintain an open line of communication with general manager Trent Baalke in what's been an offseason contract dispute.
After not participating in the voluntary workouts, Davis skipped last week's mandatory minicamp, because "it's all about getting paid what you deserve," as he wrote in an SI.com column.
"I think one of the most important things for Vernon is to make sure that right now with all of the things that are out there -- the negative media, however it is -- the most important thing in any holdout is the communication," Singletary said Tuesday on NFL Network's Total Access.
"I don't care what happens, just don't let the communication break down between you and the organization. I think that's really the defining factor in any holdout."
Davis has two seasons remaining on his contract, as does right guard Alex Boone, who also boycotted last week's minicamp while seeking a revised contract. Davis, one of the league's highest paid tight ends, has spent much of the past month on a whirlwind marketing spree for his off-field business interests.
Singletary was at the flash point of Davis' career makeover, ordering the tight end to the locker room during a 2008 loss to the Seattle Seahawks that doubled as Singletary's debut game as interim coach.
While Singletary said Davis must keep in touch with the front office, the former coach believes the current coach, Jim Harbaugh, should support Davis.
"Harbaugh being there and knowing how important Vernon is to the offense, I'm sure that that would help if he were able to say or speak on Vernon's behalf," Singletary said.
Harbaugh expressed his disappointment last week in Davis' and Boone's decisions to skip minicamp, going so far as to say it wasn't the "49er way."
"Vernon has been a great part of that organization," Singletary said, "and right now it's just a matter of let's just keep the communication open, let's just keep an open forum here, and let's go forward and get it done somehow, some way."

In their first bout on the pitch Thursday, the Lady Tigers soccer team lost, 4-0, to the Steamboat Sailors.
The girls came out strong in the first half, holding Steamboat to 1-0 and creating several scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, none of those converted.
Still, the team felt it was in the game - until the second half.
"Steamboat came out in the second half and proved why they were the more dominant team," head coach Tommy Gogolen said. "They knocked the ball around. They were really patient, really well-coached. They just broke down our defense."
The Sailors scored once early in the second half and then put two more away later in the game to seal the deal.
"For us to play with them the first half was a good accomplishment," Gogolen said. "It could have gone the other way, with the score a lot higher."
Assistant coach Travis Avery was also pleased with the team's performance.
"It was a good effort throughout the game. It was a tough opponent to start with," he said. "Now, it's time to turn around and go back at it tomorrow."
The success bodes well for today's home match against Eagle Valley, the coaches said, particularly since several junior varsity players bumped up for the game because varsity is missing several players who are still skiing.
Gogolen highlighted goalie Tessa Winston's 14 saves, captain and sweeper Rachel Fitch's performance on defense as well as midfielder Izzy Luna's and forward Claire MacMurray's contributions on offense.
"(MacMurray will) be dangerous. She created a couple good opportunities for us, as well," Gogolen said.
After doing some homework, the coach thinks it will be a more competitive game, with Eagle Valley posessing similar skills to the Summit girls.
"It's going to be hard to recover tomorrow after playing a hard game tonight, but the girls will be ready," Gogolen said.

AUSTIN (March 10, 2013)--A battle is brewing in the Texas Legislature among right-to-life groups, not over when life begins, but instead over the rules that govern the end of a terminally-ill patient's life.
The dispute involves what should happen when doctors and the family of someone who is dying in a hospital disagree on continuing medical treatment.
Texas Right to Life says patients and their families should make all decisions, but The Texas Alliance for Life, Christian Life Commission and the Texas Catholic Conference say doctors should not be forced to provide treatment they think is unethical.
Medical groups want ethics committees to decide, and then give families the chance to find another doctor if they disagree.
Activists are asking conservative Republicans who control the Legislature to decide which course Texas should take.

One student has been reported injured in a Warren County school bus accident.
Troopers said a school bus and another vehicle collided near the intersection of Whitacre and Gustin Rider roads around 9:05 a.m. Friday.
But the Little Miami School District said the bus actually ran off the side of the road into a ditch and bumped a tree, avoiding the other vehicle.
One firefighter said the bus driver somehow managed to keep the bus from overturning in the ditch.
Troopers said one student was hurt, but the school district said no students were transported to hospitals.
The district said there were four students on the bus, all first-and second-graders at Butlerville Elementary. Parents picked up three of the students, and the fourth was taken to school by a school principal.
The incident remains under investigation.

OAKLAND -- Even as tests showed that 13-year-old Jahi McMath has no brain activity -- a week after what should have been routine tonsil surgery went horribly awry and left the girl legally dead -- her family vowed Tuesday to keep her on life support and called for prayers in the hope that the girl could somehow still recover.
With the assistance of a ventilator at Children's Hospital Oakland, Jahi continues to draw breath, and her heart continues to beat. Angered by what they said were hospital officials' attempts to pressure them into taking the girl off life support, her family presented the hospital Tuesday with a cease-and-desist letter and vowed to take further legal action to keep the girl alive.
While a brain dead diagnosis, according to medical professionals who spoke to this newspaper, is an irreversible state of complete failure of the brain, making someone legally deceased, the girl's family said it believes that if the heart is still beating, there's still a chance.
Hospital officials have repeatedly declined to speak about Jahi's case, saying that the family had not given them permission to do so publicly. State and federal laws in place to protect a patient's privacy prohibit the discussion of medical conditions or treatments without that permission.
The family called on people from around the world to pray for Jahi, saying her fate should be should be in the hands of God, not in the hands of doctors.
"We are not on doctor's time now, we are on God's time," the girl's uncle, Omari Sealey, said Tuesday afternoon outside the hospital.
The family was joined Tuesday by their lawyer, Christopher Dolan, who earlier in the day emailed the letter to the hospital's CEO, chief of pediatrics and others, demanding they "refrain from any actions or activities which would remove Jahi from life support."
A copy of Dolan's letter, provided to the Bay Area News Group by Dolan, maintains the family's position that hospital officials planned to disconnect Jahi from a breathing machine on Tuesday despite the family's wishes to keep her alive. The letter cites the Patients Bill of Rights in California, which maintain that the family has the right to make the decision.
Dolan said the hospital has indicated that there is no timetable to remove life support, and Jahi's family is willing to file an injunction in court to stop the hospital if they do.
"The medicine they provided didn't work," Dolan said. "It's time to let God work. At this point we are banking on prayer."
On Tuesday, Chief of Pediatrics David Durand issued a statement, saying that due to medical privacy regulations, "we are not able to correct misperceptions created about this sad situation. Nonetheless, we want to assure the community that we are doing everything in our capacity to provide support to the grieving family."
Jahi entered the hospital Dec. 9 for routine tonsil surgery to relieve the symptoms of sleep apnea, a procedure that would normally keep her in the hospital for only one night. After surgery, her family said she appeared healthy and alert until later that night, when she began bleeding, later went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced brain dead Thursday after swelling in the brain.
S. Andrew Josephson, a neurologist and medical director of inpatient neurology at UC San Francisco, said brain death is a specific diagnosis, given by two doctors, that is "legally, morally and ethically equivalent to death."
"Brain death can be a very difficult concept for even very sophisticated people," Josephson said. "It's not something we encounter on a daily basis."
It is uncommon for families to leave a loved one who is declared brain dead¿ on life support, said Jessica Zitter, an intensive care unit and palliative care doctor at Oakland's Highland Hospital. Typically, hospitals and the families will arrange a reasonable amount of time for all family members to arrive and say goodbye, she said. But in the rare instances it occurs, the reasons usually are because of a distrust of medical staff or strong religious beliefs that cardiac death is death and that a patient should be cared for until the heart stops, regardless of what the brain is doing.
"She's alive to me," Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, said Tuesday. "She's not dead. She still has a heartbeat."
The family has called for an international prayer vigil from 6 to 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Wednesday. A local vigil will be held at the same time at Paradise Baptist Church, 9704 Empire Road in East Oakland.

Hello, sorry if this is a dumb question but here goes:
I use the PMS to move vids and movies from my pc to my ps3 and it works great. The problem is I am running out of space so I am thinking of getting the revamped Xbox 360 with wifi and a 250gig hd so I have more space to put my vids (my old 360 isn't even on the Internet cuz no wifi and my router is in a different room). Problem is I did a bit of reading and people have posted u can transfer files to the 360.. Is this correct? I assumed there would be a program like PMS to do this. If I can't perhaps I won't bother with a new 360. Any help would be great! Thx.

Here are some travel tips for Stanford fans heading to the Rose Bowl and Rose Parade in Pasadena:
1. Do a dry run. Drive the route to your Rose Parade seats and/or the Rose Bowl stadium on Dec. 31. Identify the best route from your hotel -- as well as an alternative route. Your best bet may be to overshoot your destination to avoid gridlock, then back-track. If you're going to the parade, it will help you to figure out on which side of Colorado Boulevard your assigned parking space is situated.
2. Plan for comfort. Trust me on this: Every sporting goods store within 10 miles of Pasadena will be sold out of seat cushions and snap-on stadium seats, as will every souvenir stand you pass. So bring yours from home or buy one the first opportunity you get. Also, don't forget to dress in layers and to bring sunscreen.
3. Plot your celebration. If you want to ring in the new year in festive Old Town Pasadena -- which will be slammed with Stanford and Wisconsin fans -- make dinner reservations now. (If you get shut out of Old Town, head for nearby Glendale's Brand Boulevard.) Find restaurants at www.oldpasadena.org; New Year's Eve events at http://events.pasadenastarnews.com; tourism advice at www.pasadenacal.com; and parade/game info at www.tournamentofroses.com.

A Quote by Kyle Craig Knoblauch on you, me, love, life, univerese, everything, and peace
In this directionless nowhere land where we have comfortably grown to be familair with, the human race over time forgets what we really know and confuses it with our imaginations. We know nothing out knowledge is limited to the answer that all we know of is love. There we can fill in the unknown questions of why, where and whats this all about with our imagination. Because people are paranoid of unknown answers we easily confuse what we imagine with what we know and we've come so far in time to have a nuclear war because of it. Open your eyes to love, its you me and everything you see.

Nearly six years into a Bay Area ban on wood fires on bad air days, the most scofflaws are routinely found in the North Bay.
The top three Bay Area cities and 11 of the top 15 cities for violations were found in Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties over three burn seasons, according to Bay Area Air Quality Management District records.
Santa Rosa led the way with 84 illegal burning tickets, ahead of Napa with 41 and Windsor with 33, according to a Bay Area News Group records analysis.
The much larger cities of San Jose had 21 violators; Concord 15, Oakland 9, and San Francisco had just one of 587 total tickets written during the 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 burn seasons.
The analysis gives the first city-by-city breakdown for violations of the regional smoke rule passed in 2008 to protect public health against tiny soot particles that can trigger asthma attacks, strokes and more.
A city-by-city breakdown is not yet available for the record-tying 30 Spare the Air days called this past burn season -- Nov. 1 to Feb. 28 -- but there were 267 total violations issued compared with 178 over 10 alert days in the 2012-13 season. The number of complaints of wood smoke were huge -- 5,091 this past season, compared with 2,315 the year before.
Air district officials, who released the 2013-14 data Tuesday, believe the word is getting out.
"Our goal isn't to write violation notices but to get people to follow a law that protects public health," said Ralph Borrmann, an air district spokesman. "We believe the rule is working."
The latest data shows North Bay counties continued a trend of high violation numbers. Sonoma County, usually the region's leader for violations, was second with 65 citations. It was just behind San Mateo County, which uncharacteristically topped the Bay Area with 67 tickets.
Marin County's 40 violations was third-highest. Napa had 15 citations, below its average.
The North Bay's many violators, officials say, are likely due to colder weather, valleys that trap smoke, many wood stoves and fireplaces, and ample firewood.
Some suggest it also may be rural residents' independent streak and disdain of government restrictions.
"You have people on opposite sides of the political spectrum -- Marin County counterculture and the traditional Sonoma County agriculture -- agreeing on one thing here: Get government out of my face," said Mark Ross, an air board member also on the Martinez City Council.
"People have access to wood, and they're used to using it," said Napa County Supervisor Brad Wagenknecht, also an air board member. "But they don't realize the smoke has toxic effects that are very serious."
One of the people most unhappy with burn limits is Greg Talamini, owner of Nero's Firewood in Novato. With 30 Spare the Air alerts, "This has been a horrible year for firewood sales," he said. "Every Spare the Air alert is like ripping hundred dollar bills out of my pocket."
Air pollution inspectors say they don't arbitrarily target the North Bay, but focus on neighborhoods with a history of public complaints. And North Bay counties have more than their share of complaints.
During the burn season ending last week, Marin County again led the Bay Area with 1,058 complaints. Sonoma was fourth-highest with 699 complaints, just behind Contra Costa with 772, and Santa Clara County with 717. Napa County had 138 complaints.
Some North Bay residents complain the smoke rule leads to more violations in rural areas where Pacific Gas & Electric doesn't offer natural gas.
The air district exempts homes without a permanent heat source, but not if residents can use propane.
Rural Santa Rosa resident Calvin McDonald said he discovered this when ticketed in January 2013 for burning wood instead of heating with propane. "It's much more expensive to heat with propane than burn wood," McDonald said. "It's unfair."
Sonoma County Supervisors Shirlee Zane, a Santa Rosa resident on the air pollution board, said the district needs to do more to publicize and enforce the rules.
"It all goes back to enforcement," Zane said.
Although there were a total of 7,466 wood smoke complaints from all over the Bay Area, only 538 citations were issued over the three seasons analyzed. District officials say it's not always easy to catch a violator. The rules require an inspector to see the smoke for themselves -- a difficult task if chimneys are blocked by fences, trees or buildings. Also, people burn less wood than before, as shown by public opinion surveys and borne out by reductions in winter soot levels.
Average soot concentrations dropped 24 to 43 percent in some Bay Area measurements between 2000 to 2010, according to a 2012 district report.

Today: Hewlett-Packard settles charges of foreign bribery, and research firms say that the personal-computer industry's decline continued in the first quarter. Also: Tech stocks' recovery booms with social networks leading the way.
The Lead: Personal computers shipments decline again as HP pays bribery fine
In a rough day for Hewlett-Packard, the Palo Alto tech giant agreed Wednesday to pay more than $100 million to resolve foreign bribery allegations, then learned that the personal computer industry completed two straight years of declines despite the demise of Windows XP.
HP and the Justice Department announced the $108 million settlement Wednesday, which was the result of bribes paid in Russia, Mexico and Poland that totaled nearly $4 million. Federal investigators' recap of the company's malfeasance included taking a Polish official on a ritzy visit to Las Vegas after handing over bags of cash, funneling laundered cash and goods like "swimming pool technology" to Russian officials, and paid a kickback to secure contracts with Mexican oil giant Pemex.
HP said in its announcement that the bribery "was limited to a small number of people who are no longer employed by the company." Other Silicon Valley companies are under investigation for similar schemes, including Juniper Networks and Cisco, which has confirmed that it is examining possible bribery involving its operations in Russia.
After dealing with the fallout of that announcement Wednesday morning, HP received new reports on the state of the PC industry after trading closed Wednesday afternoon. Gartner and IDC released their latest quarterly reports on the sector, which showed that PC shipments declined year-over-year for the eighth consecutive quarter, though gave some hope for the future.
"While the PC market remains weak, it is showing signs of improvement compared to last year. The PC professional market generally improved in regions such as (Europe, the Middle East and Africa). The U.S. saw the gradual recovery of PC spending as the impact of tablets faded." Gartner principal analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in Wednesday's news release.
Gartner reported that the PC market overall dropped 1.7 percent from the same quarter a year ago, while IDC reported a 4.4 percent drop. The performance was actually stronger than expected, as international enterprise sales gained, presumably thanks to Microsoft ending support for Windows XP this week, forcing an upgrade for users still on that version of the company's operating system.
"The end of XP support by Microsoft on April 8 has played a role in the easing decline of PC shipments," Kitagawa wrote. "All regions indicated a positive effect since the end of XP support stimulated the PC refresh of XP systems."
On the positive side for HP, the company's shipments grew more than 4 percent worldwide in the first quarter, according to both research houses. On the negative side, that growth was easily outpaced by its two largest rivals: Lenovo, which took the crown of top PC manufacturer from HP in 2013, grew shipments more than 10 percent; and HP's largest American rival, Dell, increased shipments 9.3 percent according to IDC and 9 percent according to Gartner.
Dell's gains could be especially worrisome to HP and its investors: The Texas company boosted shipments in the United States by more than 13 percent according to both reports, while HP's U.S. sales growth was below 2.5 percent and Apple shipments declined year-over-year. The gap in U.S. market share between HP and Dell shrank to 1.1 percent or 1.2 percent, depending on the reporting company.
Dell's "revamped channel strategy -- with greater focus on partners and solutions as well as use of PC sales as part of broader solutions -- is paying dividends as the company benefits from the relative strength of commercial replacements as well as operational freedom and reduced uncertainty after completing the privatization," IDC reported.
Hewlett-Packard stock gained 0.8 percent Wednesday to $32.72, and didn't seem to be affected in after-hours trading.
SV150 market report: Tech stocks continue rebound, led by social media
HP's gains on Wall Street seemed small compared with big boosts for other Silicon Valley companies, as tech stocks shot higher Wednesday while continuing to recover from bear market turns that cost some of the region's elite billions.
The social media sector, which was hit hard in the downturn, enjoyed some of the largest gains Wednesday. Facebook had the third largest percentage gain in the SV150, improving 7.3 percent to $62.41 after COO Sheryl Sandberg denied political ambitions in a morning show interview. The Menlo Park social network received upbeat appraisals from a handful of analysts, including SunTrust Robinson Humphrey's Robert Peck and Susquehanna's Brian Nowak, as well as JPMorgan's Doug Anmuth, who suggested that the recent sell-off offers an opportunity to pick up shares of Facebook and Pandora. LinkedIn roared 4.2 percent higher to $176.18 after Topeka Capital Markets analyst Victor Anthony raised his grade on the company from "Hold" to "Buy," writing that the Mountain View professional-networking company "possesses one of the best business models on the Internet, with a high-growth, low risk, three-pronged revenue stream, each with the potential to become billion dollar businesses." Other social stocks that rebounded from recent weakness included Yelp, which gained 6 percent to $71.25, and Twitter, which rose 1.7 percent to $42.49.
Yahoo gained 3.1 percent to $34.87 after hiring makeup maven Bobbi Brown, a move, one journalism expert told The Guardian, that "creates an absolutely obvious conflict of interest." Apple gained 1.3 percent to $530.32 amid a report that key software executive Greg Christie will leave, and Netflix rose 1.2 percent to $353.03 as rival Amazon announced two new drama series it will produce. Cisco rose 0.8 percent to $23.12 and VMware dropped 1.2 percent to $106.40 after Goldman Sachs said in a note that the two Silicon Valley companies will be leaders in the software-defined networking space. Intuitive Surgical suffered the biggest drop in the SV150 on Wednesday, declining 6.8 percent to $456.64 after announcing that first-quarter revenues would not live up to expectations.
Up: Facebook, Yelp, Pandora, LinkedIn, SunPower, Salesforce, Yahoo, SolarCity, Adobe, Workday, eBay, NetApp, Google, Twitter, Zynga, Oracle, Apple, Netflix
Down: Intuitive Surgical, Electronic Arts, VMware, Advanced Micro Devices, Nvidia, Sandisk
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Up 22.9, or 1.66 percent, to 1,405.09
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Up 70.91, or 1.72 percent, to 4,183.9
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 181.04, or 1.11 percent, to 16,437.18
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Up 20.22, or 1.09 percent, to 1,872.18

7 Opinions
Perfect. The new Version
in R2008b all the files are in one .app packages. So you can place it in the dock. R2008a can also be placed in the dock but only on the right side (next to documents and trashcan)
r2008a won't allow you to put a matlab icon on the Dock (not even StartMatlab) -- it seems that Mac support is slipping backwards from an already pretty basic level. I sometimes wonder if the 'a' and 'b' in the version numbers are for 'alpha' and 'beta'.
Initially steep learning curve, and you have to do everything from scratch. For instance, to have a function of x you first have to define an x vector. It's a pretty low-level programming environment in this sense. But once you've built up a personal library of basic routines, Matlab is fast and easy to use, and much less frustrating in many ways than Mathematica. Plus its 3D plots look very good.
I use this in school a lot for Diff Eqns, optimization, and simulations. But, the school has it on Linux machines only... so I have to ssh in X11 on my mac.
platform tool used in most tech/research institutes. However, support for mac is pretty lousy. There is no Intel support in the forseable future. So i have to run it with Parallels, which turned out to be suprisingly fast.
This is the most amazing programming environment for sample-level audio processing (with the dsp toolbox, obviously). Highly recommended for super-geeks.

In Christmas Message, Snowden Tells Britons 'Privacy Matters'
Originally published on Wed December 25, 2013 11:14 pm
Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden had a Christmas Day warning for Britons: "A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all."
Britain's Channel 4 televised Snowden's short address as the network's "Alternative Christmas Message," an annual address delivered by a public figure that mimics the style of Queen Elizabeth's Royal Christmas Message. You can watch the full 1:43 video at Channel 4's website.
Children will never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves, Snowden said, "and that's a problem. Because privacy matters. Privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be."
In his message, pre-recorded in Moscow, where he has been granted temporary asylum, Snowden said the kinds of government surveillance envisioned in George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, "are nothing compared with what we have available today. We have sensors in our pockets that track us everywhere we go. ...
"The conversation occurring today will determine the amount of trust we can place both in the technology that surrounds us and the government that regulates it," Snowden said. "Together we can find a better balance, end mass surveillance and remind the government that if it really wants to know how we feel, asking is always cheaper than spying."
Wednesday's address follows an interview published in Tuesday's Washington Post, in which Snowden announced that he's already accomplished his mission: to inform the public of the National Security Administration's data collection programs.
"All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed," Snowden told The Post. "That is a milestone we left a long time ago."

Danica Patrick Wins Daytona 500 Pole, Makes History
Danica Patrick will start next weekend's Daytona 500 from pole position after posting the fastest run during qualifying today. She also became the first woman to win a Cup pole.
Patrick clocked a qualifying speed of 196.434 miles an hour early in the session and watched as others tried but failed to top it. She will share the front row with longtime Nascar star and four-time Nascar Cup champion Jeff Gordon. Gordon was the only other driver to crack the 196-mph barrier in qualifying with a speed of 196.292.
By taking the pole, Patrick proves to rivals and naysayers that she has the speed and smooth, precise driving ability needed to win on Daytona's challenging 2.5-mile tri-oval track. But does she have enough patience?
During her first full season last year in Nascar's second-tier Nationwide Series, which included 10 Sprint Cup races, Patrick didn't always do well "trading paint" with other drivers on crowded tracks.
She will also need endurance to stand a chance of winning the race. Taking the pole in a Sprint Cup race is like winning the prelude time trial in the Tour de France bicycle race. Competitors in these events have the luxury of competing alone against the clock without other competitors crowding, blocking and bumping into them. The big race is nothing like qualifying.
The Daytona 500 is also long, with many pits stops and, typically, crashes and caution periods that can shake up the field repeatedly. A single ill-timed stop for fuel or tires could turn what seems like certain victory in to a finish outside the top 10.
Look for Patrick to take advantage of her pole position and avoid traffic by leading as many laps as possible early. She'll have to fight for it, though, as Gordon, will want to show he still has the speed and driving virtuosity that helped him rack up championships early in his career.
The race is set for Sunday, Feb., 24 at 1 p.m. ET on Fox.

In an automated call to parents of Oak Ridge students Wednesday afternoon, Schools Superintendent Bruce Borchers said that he and the Board of Education have heard parent concerns about the 1.5 mile walk distance imposed for the coming school year. Borchers said that the way in which the distance is calculated will be changed.
"We have heard your concerns regarding measurement of the parent responsibility zones of 1.5 miles based upon air radius miles (or as the crow flies) vs. actual walking distance," he said.
According to the superintendent, un-spent funds were discovered as the district closed last year's school budget. Those funds will go back to the district's general fund. This will allow the district to amend the current budget and pay for the additional expense of changing the air radius distance calculations to reflect actual walking distance.
"The approximate adjustment to make this change will cost an additional $200,000," Borchers said.
He also warned that the funds may or may not be available at this time next year and if they are not, funds will have to be added to budget for the 2015-2016 school year.
"I think it is an appropriate action to take in order to ensure that actual walking distances are approximately 1.5 miles," he said.
Willow Brook Elementary School is scheduled to begin classes today and the parent responsibility, or walk zone, is reportedly being updated immediately. The zones for the remaining schools will be posted on the school district's website as soon as they are updated. Principals will call when their school maps are ready.
Borchers closed his call by saying that student safety is the highest priority. He also said that the district would have liked to have received their requested funding to "continue and maintain all of the services that have been provided in the Oak Ridge Schools in the past."
In June, the Oak Ridge City Council rejected the school district's request for an increase in the property tax rate. According to school officials, that rejection made cuts necessary, including the increased walk zones for students.
The Willow Brook bus schedule is located at the website, http://www.ortn.edu/?DivisionID=4711&DepartmentID=4586&ToggleSideNav=ShowAll.

Moments after Virg Bernero ended his bid for Governor, Republican opponent Rick Snyder issued the following statement:
Michigan voters tonight handed Rick Snyder a clear mandate to reinvent Michigan, sending a clarion call for more and better jobs, a state government that is focused on providing better services for the taxpayer money being spent and an end to the partisan fighting at the state Capitol.
"We've got a vision, we've got a plan - now it's time to take action," Snyder said.
Snyder cautioned that even though the election is over, the hard work is just beginning, and said that getting Michigan back on the path to prosperity will require fundamentally reinventing the state.
A businessman and entrepreneur from Ann Arbor, Snyder started the campaign in 2009 as a virtual unknown who had never before held public office. He went on to win a convincing victory in both the primary and general elections. During the campaign, Snyder focused on reinventing Michigan, bringing back more and better jobs, and giving citizens a government that provides value for the taxpayer money being spent. That positive message of job creation, along with his attention-getting "One Tough Nerd" ads and aggressive travel schedule that included holding more than 70 town hall meetings and rallies across the state, helped Snyder build broad support from voters of all political stripes.
Snyder watched the election results with his family and close friends at the historic Book Cadillac hotel in Detroit when his opponent called to concede. Snyder thanked the Lansing mayor for a hard-fought campaign and said he looks forward to working together to restore Michigan's central cities.
Repeating a line often used on the campaign trail, Snyder also said he looks forward to working with leaders from both parties to find solutions.
"Tonight, the only label that matters is Michigander," Snyder said. "We've got a lot of work to do to Reinvent Michigan, and we need a team of 10 million people pulling in the same direction. It's time for Republicans and Democrats; labor and management; rural, urban and suburban to come together."
Snyder also reiterated his pledge to bring a sense of urgency to Lansing:
"We are in a crisis in this state and we need to take bold action. We need to fight against the inertia that resists change. We need to fight against the entrenched attitude that we should keep doing things the same way they've always been done, just because that's the way they've always been done. It's time to stop looking in the rearview mirror. It's time to drive into the future. I'm fired up, let's go!"

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that wants to die its hair pink, like Judy's shirt in that photo up there.
What's that you say? That a daily column doesn't actually have hair? Well, we resent that statement. Calling us bald and all. How rude!
We do have hair - lots of it. About five or six heads of everything from luscious dark locks to a short men's do.
And we're going to dye it pink, just like Judy's shirt.
Because why not? In these days of expressing oneself, and being "edgy" and "sharp," two interesting words for describing being fashionable and chic yet slightly out of the ordinary, we think it's quite appropriate.
In fact, we kinda wish President Obama had died his hair pink to match his edginess during Wednesday night's debate against Gov. Romney.
Both gentlemen showed their personalities in the debate, with Romney interrupting the moderator, and Obama making snide statements - which pink hair would complement.
Kind of like it'll complement ours!

2 cups mashed potatoes (this works best if they're cold and relatively stiff instead of fluffy)
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp green onions, just the green parts, finely chopped
3 strips turkey bacon, cooked crisp, then crumbled
salt and pepper to taste (take it easy on the salt.. the sauerkraut and bacon are very salty already)
1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
Combine potatoes, sauerkraut, egg, flour, garlic powder, onions, bacon, salt and pepper.
Place Panko in a shallow dish. Heat oil over medium heat in large skillet.
Shape potato mixture into about 3" diameter cakes. Coat both sides with Panko and place in skillet. Fry until browned, about 5 minutes, then flip over and brown the other side. Make sure you're not frying with too high of heat or they'll brown too quickly and the flour will still have that raw taste. Remove to paper towel to drain.
This recipe will yield about six 3" potato cakes.
*TESTIMONIAL* ... My daughter Molly really, really hates sauerkraut (yeah, I know, the cabbage doesn't fall far from the tree) but she did like these. Trust me, you really can't detect the sauerkraut. It just gives the potatoes another layer of flavor. And this is another great way to add in a vegetable that the kids might not otherwise eat.
I've entered this recipe in June's Potato Ho-Down. I love this stuff!

About the Book
"Wonderful…. A smart and accessible take on the ultimate question: What is Heaven? Lisa's book is a good place to begin to find an answer."
— Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion
"A rare combination of journalism, memoir, and historical research … this smart yet heartfelt book leads us into the center of one of the greatest conversations of all time. And Lisa Miller is the perfect conversation partner."
— Stephen Prothero, New York Times bestselling author of American Jesus and Religious Literacy
A groundbreaking history of the hereafter, Heaven by Newsweek reporter and religion editor Lisa Miller draws from both history and popular culture to reveal how past and presage visions of heaven have evolved and how they inspire us to both good and evil.
A groundbreaking and accessible history of heaven—from the earliest biblical conceptions of the afterlife to the theologians who frame our understandings to the convictions and perceptions of everyday people.
The desire for a celestial afterlife is universal. It is as old as the Bible itself. While there are many notions of what exactly heaven is and how we get there, Jews, Christians, and Muslims all agree that heaven is God's home. Drawing on history and popular culture, biblical research and everyday beliefs, Heaven offers a new understanding of one of the most cherished—and shared—ideals of spiritual life.

Born in Windsor, Ontario, Boughner played Junior C in Belle River and Junior B in St. Marys before heading to the OHL with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. He was a force at both ends of the ice and was chosen 32nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.
The rugged blueliner never made it to Motown especially after Vladimir Konstantinov and Niklas Lidstrom were added to the defense corps in the early 1990s. Boughner signed as a free agent with the Florida Panthers but was relegated to the minors until a trade brought him to the Buffalo Sabres. He was a solid physical component on the Buffalo blueline for two and a half years until he was claimed by the expansion Nashville Predators.
Boughner helped the Predators stay competitive most nights during their first two years until a trade brought him to the speedy Pittsburgh Penguins in March 2000. He looked after his own end well and helped the Pens reach the Eastern Conference final in 2001 before joining Calgary as a key component to their defensive core and has been rock solid on the team's blue line ever since.
After two seasons in Calgary, Boughner joined the Carolina Hurricanes for the 2003-04 season. The former Soo Greyhound played 43 games with the Canes before being dealt to the Colorado Avalanche in the latter stages of the season. CHL First All-Star Team (1984)

I recently installed ps3mediaserver on my laptop and shared a folder of videos. The laptop sees the PS3, the PS3 sees ps3mediaserver. When I go to videos on my PS3 and open a video, I only see a black screen. ps3mediaserver shows 0mb/s as if it's not even trying to stream. I try under the option no transcoding and am also met with a black screen.
The videos work fine when I put them on a flash drive and plug that into the PS3.
Not sure what the problem is. I'm on a Super G wireless router and the video files are only 700MB - 1.5GB. It never gets past a black screen. I tried restarting my laptop and reinstalling PS3MS to no avail.
Please help.

AUSTIN (October 26, 2012)--Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Friday against the Texas Women's Health Program, claiming it violates state law.
The suit was filed Friday in state district court, a day after the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused to reconsider a judgment against the group.
At question is whether the state may legally ban doctors from the program if they have are affiliated with abortion providers.
State law bans the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions, but most Planned Parenthood clinics only provide preventive care and contraception.
Lawmaker passed a law disqualifies any clinic that has connections to Planned Parenthood.
Federal officials cut off funds to Texas' women's health program because of the rule.
Planned Parenthood now argues that state law only allows the program if it receives federal funds.
Gov. Rick Perry called the suit "a desperate effort to find some way to keep making money off Texas taxpayers."
"If there was ever any doubt that Planned Parenthood is more concerned about its own interests than those of Texas women, there is no longer," he said.
"In Texas, we've chosen to protect innocent life. We will keep fighting for life, and we will ultimately prevail," he said.

Tallahassee, Florida- September 25, 2012
This morning, a citizen championed vision was realized when the one-block section of Oakland Avenue located between South Monroe and South Adams streets officially became FAMU Way.
Public Works crews with the City of Tallahassee installed the new signage less than one month after the City Commission voted to approve the street renaming. The decision came after Dr. Charles 'C.U.' Smith, retired Florida A&M University professor, civil rights activist and author, expressed the need to give FAMU Way a presence on a major city thoroughfare.
"From the beginning of the FAMU Way Extension Project, Dr. Smith advocated for FAMU Way to be connected to Monroe Street," said Gabe Menendez, director of Public Works. "The FAMU Way Citizens Advisory Committee, FAMU leadership and the City agreed that connecting FAMU Way to a major roadway would bring greater recognition to the university."
With the new street signs in place at South Monroe Street, FAMU Way will extend all the way to Lake Bradford Road when the extension project is complete in 2015. Construction is scheduled to begin next year. Oakland Avenue will continue on the east side of Monroe Street through the Myers Park neighborhood.
Another Southside street will also soon see some dramatic changes as it undergoes a $1 million make-over. As part of the City Commission's placemaking initiative, construction will begin in October on Palmer Avenue. Over the next six months, crews will install sidewalks along both the north and south side of the street located between South Monroe and South Adams streets. Other planned amenities include brick seating walls, bioswales (landscaped areas that are specifically designed to filter storm water runoff), gas lamps, an upgraded traffic signal at Monroe Street, patterned crosswalks and enhanced landscaping, which includes elm trees on the north and crepe myrtles on the south.
For more information, please visit Talgov.com/FAMUWay or call the City of Tallahassee at 891-8533.
Tallahassee, Florida- August 29, 2012
A portion of a popular Tallahassee roadway will soon have a new name.
Commissioners gave the community driven initiative a stamp of approval at tonight's Wednesday city commission meeting.
It's going to be renamed from Oakland Avenue to FAMU Way, between South Monroe Street and South Adams Street.
Over the summer the Leon County-City of Tallahassee Steering Committee approved the name change of the one-block section.
The process would include updating the street signage, giving FAMU Way a presence on Monroe Street, a major city thoroughfare. The change is scheduled to occur within the next week.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - A vigorous winter storm is moving across western Colorado.
The storm is expected to last through Thursday in the northern Colorado mountains and bring several inches of snow to the Front Range.
The National Weather Service said Monday that snow could be as deep as 20 inches in some areas, with winds up to 50 miles an hour.
Statewide precipitation this winter has been well below normal. The latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows all of Colorado experiencing some level of drought. The Natural Resources Conservation Service listed the statewide snowpack as 67 percent of average as of Monday.
Officials told the state Water Availability Task Force last week that statewide reservoir storage is at about 68 percent of average, and municipal water providers are preparing in case drought conditions persist.
Southwest Colorado is in better shape, with snowpack listed at 79 percent of average. And the snow has been falling the past few days.
Among southwest Colorado ski areas, Silverton Mountain was reporting 32 inches of new snow in the past 24 hours as of Monday morning, and Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort reported 18 new inches as of Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, parts of U.S. 550 over Coal Bank and Molas passes were closed for avalanche control work Monday.
The La Plata Electric Association said heavy, wet snow that downed some power lines led to outages for hundreds of people in southwest Colorado over the weekend, but power was fully restored Monday afternoon.

Due in large part to improved immunization practices, as well as efforts to eradicate polio, measles, and HIV and AIDS, many of the world's poorest countries have seen great reductions in the number of children who die before their fifth birthday.
Good news! More children than ever before are surviving past their fifth birthday, according to a new report (pdf) from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
A report on worldwide child mortality rates shows the number of under-5 deaths has dropped significantly, from 12 million in 1990 to 6.9 million in 2011.
Though the global rate improved, 82 percent of all under-5 deaths in 2011 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, up from 68 percent in 1990.
However, many of the world's poorest countries have seen great reductions in the number of children who die before age 5, due in large part to efforts to eradicate polio, measles, and HIV and AIDS, as well as improved immunization practices.
Undernutrition contributes to more than one-third of under-5 deaths, the report adds. Because of chronic hunger, one-quarter of the world's children — about 165 million — are stunted. Eight percent of all children under 5 suffer wasting, which is severe acute malnutrition.
While this reduction in child deaths is cause for jubilation, Steve Reynolds, World Vision's Child Health Now campaign director in the United States, cautions that there is still a long road ahead before we reach near-zero preventable child deaths.
"This is truly a reason to celebrate, but we still have a long way to go in closing the gap," says Reynolds. "6.9 million preventable deaths is 6.9 million too many, and the last mile is always the hardest."
A healthy start in life is essential to the long-term health and well-being of the child. As a child-focused organization, World Vision works to bring maternal and child healthcare to communities lacking these life-saving services for mothers and children. Some child and maternal health interventions include:
World Vision's Child Health Now campaign aims to ensure that children can grow up healthy with access to basic health services, adequate nutrition, and disease prevention.
Through this campaign, we support communities in raising their voices about their right to quality healthcare and press national governments to meet their responsibilities to children, mothers, families, and communities.
Thank God for this reduction in preventable child deaths. Pray that we would have the will to continue supporting and advocating for early childhood interventions to keep all children healthy.
Make a donation to the Survive to Five Challenge. Because of government grants, any gift you give will triple in impact to help deliver life-saving interventions to children at greatest risk — like insecticide-treated bed nets, therapeutic food, vaccinations, clean water, and more.

MARIETTA - Terry Lent loves to shop at the Marietta Goodwill retail store on Colegate Drive, always on the lookout for the belt buckles her daughter collects, jewelry, furniture for her home, puzzles and dog items.
"I look for things you can't buy out in a regular store," said Lent, 60.
Lent and her husband Paul, 79, have been repeat customers at the store since its opening in 2008.

Rosalee Snyder, 68, of Parkersburg shopped the housewares shelves at the Marietta Goodwill Retail Store on Colegate Drive. The store recently placed second in the running for "Store of the Year" among 13 stores in the southeastern Ohio region.
Rosalee Snyder, 68, of Parkersburg has also shopped there regularly over the past four years, looking for "little things that interest me," including salt and pepper shakers and pieces to add to her collection of Boyds Bears.
Besides the selection of merchandise, both shoppers are also impressed by the staff.
"They're all friendly, very nice people," said Snyder.
"We love the staff," Lent agreed.
"They're really helpful, and they go out of their way to help you."
For two years running, the Marietta Goodwill retail store has also been a winner among the 13 Goodwill stores in the company's southeastern Ohio region.
Recently, the 8,000-square-foot store placed second in the running for the region's "Store of the Year."
"We were very excited," said assistant manager Renae Ross.
In 2011, Marietta Goodwill was "Store of the Year."
Regional Goodwill representatives told Ross and assistant manager Judi Luke that the family atmosphere among employees at the Marietta store was a big reason for the second-place win.
"We have a group of very hard workers, and I think their hard work paid off," Ross said.
Luke was in agreement.
"We all work together," she said.
The store's appearance was also a winning factor.
"We take pride in our store, in the way we keep it clean and how we have it decorated for different events," Luke said.
Even though Marietta Goodwill receives "lots of donations," the store's 16 full- and part-time employees "try to present the merchandise so it's sellable," Ross said.
According to Ross, some customers come in twice a day or linger in the store waiting for new items to be put on display.
"We're constantly rotating stock out there," she said. "Every hour we're filling shelves. A new rack of clothes goes out every hour."
Luke and Ross said they are both proud of the deals their customers find at Marietta Goodwill.
"(Customers) come in and get things they need or want, and don't spend a lot of money," said Ross. "They feel they're getting a bargain."
In the new year, Marietta Goodwill will expand operations into a warehouse behind the one they currently rent.
"It's going to be a major expansion," Ross said. "We will be selling more repurchased goods, or returned items, from other stores."
In addition, the store will offer new furniture after the expansion, expected to start in April 2013.

Those warm temps outside mean summer is officially here, and with the time off school, it's the season for summer camp.
One camp in Swan Valley is different from the rest. To a passerby it'd look like any summer camp, but everyone at Camp Magical Moments, has one big thing in common: Cancer.
"We horseback ride," camper Katy said. "We rock climb. We have campfires."
Most of the kids were diagnosed at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City.
"A lot of the kids are like, 'Wow, I thought I was the only one with cancer,' and there's other kids who have cancer.," organizer Ann Walsh said.
She moved to Swan Valley eight years ago and founded Camp Magical Moments.
"It's just amazing," Ann said. "They start talking about their ports, losing their hair, going through chemo or radiation. It's so good for them to be around others who have gone through what they're going through."
There are 28 campers, keeping it small and personal.
"When you first come, you feel scared, but don't be scared -- just have fun!" camper Thomas said.
He's no stranger to camp, so he showed us one of the most magical places at camp, the garden of angels.
"It's just really sad to see all the people who have died," he said.
But that sadness, holds a happy message. A message none of the kids forget.
"It is very important for the children to know, if something happened to them, they will be remembered in our celebration of life ceremony," Walsh said.
And remember they do. Every year at camp, by reading the words of lost campers and celebrating the life they have.
Camp Magical Moments is completely free. They'll even help parents pay for the gas to get there.
Walsh also started a camp for siblings of the cancer patients and a mom's retreat.

DeAnne Carlson began her banking career 37 years ago in Tulsa, OK (after finishing in the top five percent of her class at the Arkansas School of Banking). She later moved to Panama City, FL and joined the Summit Bank team in 2008.
Carlson's primary responsibilities include business development and managing Summit Bank's largest private banking portfolio.
What has made her career fun, is the development of long-term relationships with her clients — clients who know they can depend on her for one of the most important aspects of their lives: their financial wellbeing. Knowing a client's financial health affects the whole of their lives, Carlson finds it a joy to help people achieve their goals.
Prior to serving at Summit Bank, Carlson worked for a regional bank where she held senior roles in lending and was top producer of residential lending for 20 consecutive years.
She is a graduate of Leadership Bay through the Bay County Chamber of Commerce and serves as a member of the Leadership Bay steering committee and the education committee.
Carlson has served on the board of Children's Home Society, Girls, Inc., and, most recently, as treasurer for the Science and Discovery Center. She has been named in the Who's Who in the National Association of Professional Women and served as President of the Arkansas State Chapter. She also was President of the Arkansas Mortgage Bankers Association.
A little known fact about Carlson, she has been a bit of a daredevil, and adventure-seeker. Years ago you could find her sky diving, sailing, deep sea fishing or doing anything outdoors. She has a great love of horses, and while growing up in Oklahoma, competed in barrel racing.
Carlson considers herself blessed with two young grandsons, whom she pampers. She has traded in her parachute since becoming a "Nana," and now her hobby is planning her next visit with her grandchildren. Still on her bucket list is another adventure. Even though she admits to having, "the poorest sense of direction on the planet," Carlson has always wanted to learn to fly airplanes and plans to do so someday.
