NEW YORK -- Maybe the Yankee Stadium lights will dim for Brandon Moss on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, they were, as Moss said, "second to none; you see the ball great.'' Moss saw the ball well enough to hit a pair of home runs, including a tiebreaking solo shot in the 10th inning that carried Oakland to a 5-2 win over the Yankees.
"It's really fun to play here because you see the ball so good,'' Moss said. "It's a great atmosphere. It's a gorgeous stadium. It's one of those places that is kind of special to come here.''
The A's weren't having much fun until the fifth inning, when Moss' first home run tied the score at 1-all. Then in the eighth, pinch-hitter Stephen Vogt came off the bench with an RBI double against the Yankees' most trusted reliever, Dellin Betances, to tie it again, and the A's were rolling.
"It seemed like it was just a matter of time,'' Moss said. "Betances is a really good reliever. He throws hard, but he has an unbelievable curve ball. You saw it tonight. I felt like when (Alberto) Callaspo got on and Vogt hit that double, that pretty much did it for us.
"Because if you can get to that guy and get him out of the game, they have (David) Robertson, who's a dominant reliever, but you're probably only going to see him one inning. The other guys coming out of the bullpen, they're good, but they're not those two guys.''
Robertson, as it happened, pitched the ninth. When the Yankees didn't score against Dan Otero in the bottom of the ninth, Robertson was done and Adam Warren came in to start the 10th. And, as Moss said, the game was Oakland's.
Moss worked the count to 3-2, then hit a laser about which starter Scott Kazmir said, "I don't think you can hit a ball any further.'' The ball wound up halfway up the second deck of the bleachers in right field, and the A's were almost home. Jed Lowrie and Kyle Blanks added RBI hits off Warren.
Sean Doolittle closed it out quietly in the bottom of the 10th as Oakland improved to an American League-best 36-22 while extending its lead over the second-place Angels in the A.L. West to a high point of 51/2 games. The A's fourth straight win kicked off a nine-game trip.
Out for games Saturday and Sunday in Oakland because of a calf strain, Moss was the designated hitter Tuesday because manager Bob Melvin wanted to see how Moss would handle running to first. Melvin never got a clear answer. Moss said that while his leg wasn't tested, "it feels pretty good.''
And while the fifth-inning homer that tied the game and the 10th-inning homer that won the game will be remembered as Moss' sixth career multiple-homer game, it was Moss' second-inning fly ball to the warning track in center that opened eyes in the A's dugout suggesting Moss wasn't going to be bothered by his calf problem.
"He's amazing,'' Vogt said. "He takes a few days off and then does that. And the first one he hit, I thought he hit that one well enough to get out of here.
"For him to come in off three days of not swinging and for him to clutch up like that and hit two big homers for us, that was huge.''
Moss now has 15 homers at 48 RBIs, in both cases tied with Josh Donaldson for the team lead. Donaldson went 0 for 5, ending his streak of reaching base as a third baseman at 47.
The question now is whether Moss will be in the field for Wednesday's game. Chances are he won't be, not because his calf couldn't stand the strain, but because the Yankees have a left-handed starter, Vidal Nuno, throwing, meaning Melvin is likely to go with Blanks at first base, leaving Moss free to D.H. one more night.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Case for Mr Irving >
Case for the Defendants
5.113The Defendants also cite Irving's treatment of the shooting of these Jews as another instance of his misrepresentation of events and his determination to exculpate Hitler from responsibility for their fate. In particular the Defendants criticise Irving for his omission to record what Bruns had to say about the shooting of Berlin Jews. In 1941 Bruns had been a colonel stationed in Riga. Later in 1945, when in captivity, he spoke about the shooting to fellow prisoners. His words were surreptitiously recorded so (say the Defendants) there is no reason to suppose he was not telling the truth. The transcript records him as saying that a junior officer named Altemeyer had told him that the Berlin Jews were to be shot "in accordance with the Fuhrer's orders". According to the same transcript, after Hitler had been informed of the shooting Altemeyer showed Bruns another order and said:The Defendants contend that Bruns's words represent important and credible evidence from a reliable witness, firstly, that Hitler personally ordered the Riga executions and, secondly, that once informed of the shooting Hitler, far from prohibiting such conduct in the future, ordered that shootings of this kind it should continue but on a more discreet basis.
"Here is an order just issued, prohibiting mass-shootings on that scale from taking place in future. They are to be carried out more discreetly".
5.114Despite the crucial importance of Bruns's evidence, of which Irving was aware, there is no reference in any of Irving's books to his claim as to the apparent role of Hitler in regard to the deaths of the Berlin Jews in Riga. Reference is made to Bruns in the introduction to the American edition of Hitler's War, where Irving refers to Hitler's "renewed orders that such mass murders were to stop forthwith". The Defendants contend that this reference wholly perverts the sense of Bruns's account.
5.115In the text of Goebbels at p645 Irving writes that 1000 Berlin Jews and 4000 Riga Jews were shot on 30 November. According to Evans and Browning, the true figure was found in later reports to be at least twice that number and higher estimates of 13-15,000 were given in post-war trials. The Defendants are critical of Irving for minimising the number of those killed. They accept that he refers, albeit tucked away in a footnote, to a claim that 27,800 Jews were murdered but he there describes that claim as exaggerated. Evans testified that the figure of 27,800, which was reported by Einsatzgruppe A was probably justified.
5.116In relation to Hitler's attitude towards the shooting of the German Jews in Riga, the Defendants also criticise Irving for making no mention whatever of the evidence of Schultz-Dubois. This young Nazi officer was entrusted with the task of conveying to Admiral Canaris a report prepared by another officer based in Riga protesting at the shooting. The intention was that Canaris should raise the matter with Hitler. According to a letter from the widow of Schultz-Dubois, which is quoted in a book by Professor Gerald Fleming, Canaris did so but was met with the response:This, say the Defendants, is clear evidence that Hitler approved the shooting the Jews yet Irving suppressed it.
"You want to show weakness, do you mein Herr! I have to do that, for after me there not be another one to do it".

2.4-2 Credibility
Revised to November 1, 2008 (modified May 10, 2012)
In deciding what the facts are, you must consider all the evidence. In doing this, you must decide which testimony to believe and which testimony not to believe. You may believe all, none or any part of any witness's testimony. In making that decision, you may take into account a number of factors including the following: 1) was the witness able to see, or hear, or know the things about which that witness testified? 2) how well was the witness able to recall and describe those things? 3) what was the witness's manner while testifying? 4) did the witness have an interest in the outcome of this case or any bias or prejudice concerning any party or any matter involved in the case? 5) how reasonable was the witness's testimony considered in light of all the evidence in the case? and 6) was the witness's testimony contradicted by what that witness has said or done at another time, or by the testimony of other witnesses, or by other evidence?
If you think that a witness has deliberately testified falsely in some respect, you should carefully consider whether you should rely upon any of that witness's testimony.1
In deciding whether or not to believe a witness, keep in mind that people sometimes forget things. You need to consider, therefore, whether a contradiction is an innocent lapse of memory or an intentional falsehood, and that may depend on whether the contradiction has to do with an important fact or with only a small detail.
These are some of the factors you may consider in deciding whether to believe testimony.
The weight of the evidence presented
by each side does not depend on the number of witnesses.2 It is the
quality of the evidence, not the quantity of the evidence, that you must
1 It is not necessary to specifically instruct the jury that if they find that a witness has intentionally testified falsely as to one thing, then it can reject that witness's entire testimony. State v. Stevenson, 53 Conn. App. 551, 577-79, cert. denied, 250 Conn. 917 (1999). Disbelief of testimony, by itself, does not prove the opposite. In State v. McCarthy, 105 Conn. App. 596, 621, cert. denied, 286 Conn. 913 (2008), the court's refusal to charge on this issue was not error.
2 "[C]ourts should refrain from giving a number of witnesses instruction when the defendant presents no witnesses." State v. Ouellette, 110 Conn. App. 401, 415, cert. denied, 289 Conn. 951 (2008).
"Generally, a defendant is not
entitled to an instruction singling out any of the state's witnesses and
highlighting his or her possible motive for testifying falsely. . . . There are,
however, two exceptions to this rule: the complaining witness exception and the
accomplice exception." State v. Ortiz, 252 Conn. 533, 561 (2000). "The complaining witness exception . . . provides that when a complaining
witness could himself have been subject to prosecution depending only upon the
veracity of his account of [the] particular criminal transaction, the court
should . . . [instruct] the jury in substantial compliance with the defendant's
request to charge to determine the credibility of that witness in the light of
any motive for testifying falsely and inculpating the accused. . . . [T]here
must be evidence . . . to support the defendant's assertion that the complaining
witness was the culpable party." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id. The
accomplice exception requires that "where it is warranted by the evidence, it is
the court's duty to caution the jury to scrutinize carefully the
testimony if the jury finds that the witness intentionally assisted in the
commission, or if he assisted or aided or abetted in the commission, of the
offense with which the defendant is charged." (Emphasis in original; internal
quotation marks omitted.) Id., 562. In State v. Patterson, 276 Conn. 452
(2005), the Supreme Court recognized a third exception for the testimony of an
Accomplice Testimony, Instruction 2.5-2,
Informant Testimony, Instruction 2.5-3,
Complaining Witness Testimony, Instruction 2.5-5.
"[I]t is within the discretion of a trial court to give a cautionary instruction to the jury whenever the court reasonably believes that a witness' testimony may be particularly unreliable because the witness has a special interest in testifying for the state and the witness' motivations may not be adequately exposed through cross-examination or argument by counsel." State v. Diaz, 302 Conn. 93, 113 (2011) (rejecting the need for requiring such an instruction in any case where there is evidence that the witness may be particularly unreliable).
Child Witnesses
A defendant is not entitled to an instruction that a child's testimony is inherently less worthy of belief simply because of the age of the witness. State v. James, 211 Conn. 555, 566-71 (1989); General Statutes § 54-86h ("No witness shall be automatically adjudged incompetent to testify because of age."); Code of Evidence § 6-1 ("[E]very person is competent to be a witness."). In State v. James, supra, the Court recognized the concern, underlying similar decisions in other jurisdictions, that "an instruction [that] singles out the testimony of the child witness for special scrutiny may infringe upon the jury's exclusive role as arbiter of credibility." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) Id., 568. Because such an instruction is "not for the statement of any rule of law but for a cautionary comment upon the evidence," it remains within the discretion of the trial court. Id., 571. A court's denial of a defendant's request for a special child credibility instruction has been consistently upheld when an adequate general credibility instruction has been given. See State v. Ceballos, 266 Conn. 364, 423 (2003); State v. Angell, 237 Conn. 321, 330 (1996); State v. Abrahante, 56 Conn. App. 65, 78-80 (1999); State v. Nguyen, 52 Conn. App. 85, 95-97 (1999), aff'd on other grounds, 253 Conn. 639 (2000).
"While the preliminary question of admissibility of a confession is for the court, the credibility and weight to be accorded the confession is for the jury." State v. Vaughan, 171 Conn. 454, 460-61 (1976); see also State v. Oliver, 160 Conn. 85, 95 (1970), cert. denied, 402 U.S. 946 (1971) (adhering to the "orthodox rule under which the judge himself solely and finally determines the voluntariness of the confession"). "This rule does not require the court to give a particular instruction to the jury regarding the credibility of the defendant's confession simply because the confession was a substantial part of the evidence." State v. Corbin, 260 Conn. 730, 742 (2002) (court's instruction adequately explained the jury's duty to evaluate the weight and credibility of all the evidence).
If the defendant has introduced evidence bearing on the reliability of his or her confession, the court may refer to this evidence during the general credibility instruction. See State v. Ledbetter, 263 Conn. 1, 22 (2003) ("The court explained that the jury was required to consider all of the circumstances underlying the defendant's confession in evaluating whether that confession was voluntary and reliable. Moreover, the court expressly apprised the jury of the defendant's claim that the confession was unreliable owing to the defendant's 'age, background and circumstances surrounding the making of her confession,' thereby underscoring those considerations."); see also State v. Vaughan, supra, 171 Conn. 454 (concluding that the trial court should have admitted the defendant's proffered expert testimony on his mental capacity at the time of his confession to help the jury determine what weight and credibility to give to the confession); State v. Fernandez, 27 Conn. App. 73, 80, cert. denied, 222 Conn. 904 (1992) (distinguishing Vaughan on the basis that defendant's proffered testimony was not probative of the reliability of the defendant's confession).
Comparative credibility
A "comparative credibility" instruction should not be given because it runs the risk of misleading the jury that they can choose the more credible side rather than holding the state to its burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Whitford, 260 Conn. 610, 643-49 (2002).

Members of Mountain Rescue Aspen located six hikers and two dogs that reportedly had been overdue from a trip since Tuesday.
The hikers and dogs were found unharmed in the South Fork drainage near the Fryingpan River, according to a statement the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office issued Wednesday morning.
The Sheriff's Office was notified around 9 p.m. Tuesday of the overdue hikers, believed to be on the Lost Man Loop, off Independence Pass.
A large ground search was put off because of darkness, but Mountain Rescue had two vehicle teams search roads in drainages commonly mistaken for part of the Lost Man Loop, the Sheriff's Office said.
"Mountain Rescue Aspen and the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office would like to remind all hikers and backcountry travelers to prepare for unplanned events," the statement said. "When traveling in the backcountry always carry extra water, food and clothing, know your route, carry a map and ensure that someone knows your exact travel plans."

Jeff Clark is a serious business man, or at least he's always considered himself one. But when some of his friends headed to Black Rock Desert, Nev., for the 2012 Burning Man, he decided to give the trip a shot.
"I didn't think I wanted to go. But when you're out there, it's such a spiritual experience," Clark said.
Tahoe Burners will gather this Saturday at Clark's Raw Bar to recapture the spirituality and community of the festival for the South Shore's first-ever official Burning Man Decompression party. It's a way to reunite and bond with the event participants, Clark said.
Fire dancers, artists, shadow dancing and other performers will gather in Stateline, Nev., for a fiery outdoor performance while an After Burner party burns away in the bar with lasers and black lights.
So what exactly is Burning Man? Describing the pilgrimage to someone who's never been is like trying to describe a particular color to a blind man, at least according to the event's official website.
Burning Man started in the late 1980s on a small San Francisco beach. Now it draws tens of thousands of people to the Nevada desert - also know as the playa - to create Black Rock City, a metropolis dedicated to community, art and self-expression. When the week ends, the participants disperse, leaving no trace of their presence.
And of course, there's fire. Burners lit up 22 effigies created by worldwide Burning Man regional groups in 2011, all of which circled the 'Man' - a wooden figure that was 104 feet tall that year.
When Clark arrived at Black Rock City as a Burning Man rookie, event organizers had him get out of his car and make a playa angel - the equivalent of a snow angel except that instead of powder you're lying on your back in the dust of a dry lake bed - to "diffuse any negative energy," Clark said. When he returned to the South Shore after only a day at the festival to prepare Raw Bar for its grand opening on Sept. 15, he wanted to keep the flame going and agreed to host the Decompression event.
Andrea Creo, a Burning Man regional contact and the owner of Tahoe Fire Dancers, said that although there have been other post-Burning Man parties in the South Shore, Saturday's event will be the first one that follows the festival's Ten Principals.
Those principals include radical inclusion, self-reliance, civic responsibility and communal effort, so Creo said she and other event organizers have tried to include the South Shore community and have acquired all the necessary city permits for fire performances. Getting an official status allows the group to advertise to a larger audience and unite the different burners in the basin, Creo said.
"There are a ton of burners up here. In South Lake in particular, there's a lot of different groups and it's really scattered. We want to bring people together," she said.
Creo often had to evacuate her home in the California foothills beacuse of fire. It was something that scared her, but instead of fleeing from the flames, she embraced them. She teaches fire dancing and fire safety at the Lake Tahoe Community College and she's been to the playa seven times.
Even though he's a novice burner, Clark said he's noticed that there's a large Burning Man community around the lake.
"It's very strong. You have a lot of creative, talented artists and you also have a lot of successful business men that go just to let go. Tahoe is such a beautiful, panoramic, outdoor destination. People fall in love with it. It's a spiritual awakening for them and Burning Man is the same way. It's a similar type of environment, minus the water," Clark said.

Another NFL season is nearly upon us, and that means another edition of Madden NFL will be hitting shelves. It also means that football fans and gamers alike will be keeping a watchful eye on the athlete featured on the cover of the latest installment of the series – in this case, Seattle Seahawks' Richard Sherman – to find out whether the "Madden Curse" will claim another victim.
The legend of the Madden Curse has grown from a simple joke to the sort of superstition that has fans aggressively campaigning to keep their teams' stars off the game's cover. It started with Garrison Hearst, who appeared on the cover of a Madden NFL game in 1999, only to break his ankle shortly thereafter. Of the 18 players that have been featured on the cover of Madden NFL prior to this year's edition, 17 have had troubling or abruptly shortened seasons following their cover debut – including several players who suffered season-ending injuries soon after their appearance on a Madden NFL cover.
The spectre of the Madden Curse has become so widely recognized, in fact, that the gambling world has begun posting odds each year regarding the likelihood that the most recent Madden NFL cover athlete will be injured during the season. Back in 2010, Madden NFL developer EA Tiburon even confirmed plans to develop a movie based on the notion of the Madden Curse. (The lack of updates since the initial announcement of the film could indicate that athletes aren't the only victims of the curse.)
Naturally, EA Sports has continued to dismiss any serious talk of a "curse" hovering over its wildly successful franchise, and attributed the rash of injuries and other negative, post-cover issues to an athlete's natural regression after a season of peak performance.
And they're probably right. (Probably.)
Still, the long history of ill-fated athletes that have adorned each edition of the game certainly offers an intriguing string of coincidences to ponder.

SANTA CLARA -- A coalition of civil rights groups is threatening to sue over what it calls a lack of minority-owned businesses working on the San Francisco 49ers' new stadium, though project officials deny those claims and say they gave contractors of all races an equal opportunity to participate.
The budding hot-button issue centers on the racial breakdown of the owners of companies that won dozens of lucrative contracts to build the $1.2 billion Santa Clara stadium, a tricky proposition in a state that has banned affirmative action.
On one side is a consortium of civil rights lawyers with a history of suing public agencies, along with groups that promote black and Latino contractors and other businesses. In a letter to the city of Santa Clara, the 49ers and NFL last Friday and in interviews this week, they said they could not find any minority-owned companies working on the project and argued that black-owned firms should have gotten more of the construction contracts largely because African-American players are behind the team's success on the field.
"Our (black) children are why you're building the stadium -- to make more money off of these players," said Long Beach-based attorney Everett Glenn, president of a nonprofit advocacy group for black athletes. "It's time we share in the harvest. What do we get out of this industry?"
But project officials said that under Proposition 209, an anti-affirmative-action law passed by California voters in 1996, they were required to be "color blind" when they selected the firms that won roughly 60 public subcontracts worth more than $700 million. Those contracts range from plumbing to electrical work to steel fabrication and were awarded over the past two years to firms owned by people of a variety of races and ethnicities, city officials and developers said. But they could not provide specific examples.
New York City-headquartered Turner Construction and Milpitas-based Devcon Construction, the main developers, said they followed the law and the procedures laid out by the city and 49ers when picking subcontractors. While they were still researching the issue of minority-owned firms in response to the group's letter, they noted that more than half of the 1,000-plus workers on site are members of minority groups, amounting to more than half a million hours of employment after a year on the job.
"Turner Construction Company is proud of its relationships with local trade unions and minority-owned business contracting firms throughout the country," Turner and Devcon said in a joint statement. "We have been and will continue to be fully open to minority participation on this project."
The civil rights groups charge that project officials should have specifically reached out to minority-owned businesses to let them know of the stadium contracts. They claim the opportunity to apply for the bulk of the work zipped by the minority-owned contractors without their notice between summer 2011 and fall 2012.
"We depend upon the relationships we have established with developers and large general contractors to do adequate outreach," said Derek Barrett, president of the Northern California chapter of the National Association of Minority Contractors, which also signed the letter.
Dave Hatheway, a consultant representing the city on the project, said project officials were worried about running afoul of Proposition 209's "color blind" policy by reaching out to minority-owned contractors separately, creating a quota for them or even tracking the race of the owners that won contracts. Instead, they advertised the availability of contracts by posting an ad in the small Santa Clara Weekly and relied on publicity about the project, which produced an outpouring of response from large and small firms from around the country.
"The stadium was on everybody's radar," Hatheway said. "It wasn't news to anybody that there was a stadium being built in Santa Clara. So most companies contacted Turner-Devcon."
The 49ers declined to comment.
Glenn and Sellstrom also claim to have the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton behind them, though representatives for the two activists' organizations did not return emails seeking comment.
The letter that threatened the lawsuit was also signed by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights. The group has filed grievances and lawsuits against several other public agencies on a variety of issues in the past and previously threatened to sue Santa Clara over its process for electing City Council members.
Oren Sellstrom, the legal director of the San Francisco-based group, said it waited until now to fire off a letter on the 49ers stadium, which is 40 percent complete and set to open in 2014, because it hadn't previously been aware of any problems with minority contracts. In recent weeks, he said, his firm cross-checked the list of subcontractors with federally certified, minority-owned companies and could not find any.
"We still think there is time to fix the problem for any remaining work that needs to be done," Sellstrom said, "as well as future contract opportunities."

Drive to End Hunger
Imagine struggling to put food on the table. Every single day. Imagine having to make the tough choice about whether or not to eat, or to opt for cheaper, less nutritious food, or whether to pay a bill or even your rent or mortgage. That is the situation for more than 10 million older Americans each and every day.
The relationship between hunger and health can easily become a vicious cycle, as low-income seniors have to spend more on their health care, have even fewer financial resources to spend on food, and may become socially isolated. With your help it does not have to be this way. That's why AARP Foundation is pioneering interconnected solutions to help those in need transform their whole situation. Donations to Drive to End Hunger benefit the hunger solutions of AARP Foundation, AARP's affiliated charity.

My sister and I were dancers all of our lives and were told never to run because it has the possibilty of injuring muscles and hurting our dancing careers. Well, being that we are both onto our careers, neither of which involve dancing, we both decided to set a goal to run a 5K in the summer.
So, as beginning runners, we are doing the C25K to prepare. I have completed the first two weeks. They were hard, but I was able to get through each day and it seemed to get easier and easier and I enjoyed every minute of it. (Well maybe not every minute, but close)
WELL! Today I went to the gym and attemtped to do W3D1. This is NO JOKE! I thought after completed W2D3 with no problem I was more than ready to tackle running for 3 minutes straight. I was wrong! I am so bummed that I wasn't able to fully complete it and I have to go back and do D1 all over again lol. I may try lowering my speed so I am able to complete it.
Anyone else get a wake up call this week?!
We'll see what happens tomorrow!
You're not alone! I have thought that every jump so far has been hard- and I'm on Week 7. It seems like JUST when you get almost used to what you're, they go and increase it on you. There's nothing wrong with repeating a day if you need to. I've done that a few times along the way- I don't want to move ahead until I'm sure I can do the assigned day. Three minutes doesn't sound like a lot, but keep it mind it is actually double what you have been running. It's a big change! Keep up the good work!

Current words to live by: "4 mph is faster than the couch" --FaithInSC
Hi, Jessie,
I was a non-runner until March 21, 2011, and I've also been following C25K. Actually, I started out following the plan in a handy little book called "Run Your Butt Off." I switched to C25K only because of the awesome apps I could get for my iPhone...but that's beside the point. C25K does not tell you this, but RYBO beats you over head with a very important tip...when you switch from walking to running, do NOT try to increase your speed. You should be able to have a conversation with your partner (or sing along with your iPod) while you're running.
Does it work? YES! I ran a 5k race today in under 37 minutes. I finished C25K week 7 yesterday...and I didn't switch to walking for the whole 5k. I was dang glad to see that finish line, and next week I hope to see it a little sooner than I did today.
Bottom line...don't worry about speed AT ALL for now. It will come. Just relax and trust the system. Back off or repeat a run if you need to, but you WILL build up your stamina and speed will come over time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading "Run Your Butt Off", not so much for the training plan, but for all the other advice. It's a short book, and definitely worth the couple of hours it takes to read.
Best of luck....There's a 5k in your future!
Stockton, CA
Er...just realized I finished week 8 yesterday, NOT week 7! oops....
Yep, yesterday I walked 5, ran 28 and walked 5 before work. 4.55 km according to Nike+GPS.
Today...ran 37 minutes, 5 k. Hot dang! Not fast, but I didn't stop running except chug water. (Not coordinated enough to drink and run at the same time...)
Next weekend, another race. Goal...do it in 36 min or less.
Stockton, cA
There are a few jumps that are quite difficult. Just out of curiousity, what was your pace? Sometimes slowing it down a little can help you get through the tough work out, and you can always repeat a week to increase the pace back to where you want it. Good Luck!

Hey JessGwin,
I completed W3D1 yesterday also. It was a bit of a jump and I felt it the most on the second 3 minute run more than the first. There were a couple of times I wanted to cut it short, but I just pushed through it. You can do it! Funny thing is I had told myself to slow down at the beginning of the run so I can go the full 3 minutes. Turned out I had a 10:29 min/mile pace which is the second best pace I've had since I started C25K.

WALNUT CREEK -- Central Garden & Pet has named John Ranelli as its new president and chief executive officer, the pet, lawn and garden supplies company said Monday.
Ranelli will take over as the top boss at Central Garden & Pet effective at the company's annual shareholder's meeting, to be held on Feb. 11 of this year.
Bill Brown, who currently is chairman and CEO, will retain his title as chairman of Central Garden.
Ranelli has been on the board of directors of Central Garden since 2010. He will remain a board member after he becomes CEO.
"While we have considerable work yet to do, Central is a different company today than it was a year ago," Brown said. "We are transforming Central from what was essentially a collection of over 20 operating companies into an integrated organization. We are focused on building our brands and introducing innovative new products to the marketplace.
Ranelli has more than 40 years of experience in consumer products and branding. He has served as CEO of Mikasa, a dinnerware, crystal and home accessories firm; CEO of the principal owner of the FosterGrant eye wear company; and CEO of Woolrich, an outdoor clothing firm.
"We have a great opportunity to build our brands by continuing to invest in marketing and new product innovation" at Central, Ranelli said.

Happy new year everyone!
I feel like I should post a round up of my year, only I'm not very good at writing and I've just taken some codeine so this could go terribly wrong.

Happy to see that you are feeling positive on this year and that you've found your soul mate. Hope everything continues to work out.
I'm glad I happened upon this. I'm realizing now that I'm more familiar with your IG page than I am with your SG work. It's so weird when that happens. It means I followed you on IG before I got a SG account. I can only say that about a few people. Anyway, Instagram doesn't let you know people the way SG does. Thanks for posting this. I love knowing who the people are behind the pretty pictures and, I'm glad you found someone who truly makes you happy! 😊

This recipe is about as easy as it gets folks. I used my homemade pizza dough, but if you're not into that, just use this:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out your pizza dough into a 15 X 12 inch rectangle and spread pesto over one half of the dough, leaving a half inch border plain. I used jarred pesto from the supermarket.

Invisibly repairs and restores hair health as it tames frizz and flyaways. On contact, this highly concentrated multi-tasking serum penetrates the hair shaft to help strengthen weak hair and fix split ends.
Fortified with pure Ojon™ oil, nature's hair-repairing golden elixir plus exotic Rouge Oleifera Damage Reverse helps restore brilliant shine and softness to dull, damaged hair. Adding suppleness and manageability.
Why is it so many of us struggle to recreate the perfect blow dry that our hairdresser so effortlessly achieves? It's actually easier than you think; you just need to know a few tricks and techniques.
Everyday Sun, pollution, colouring, harsh chemicals, heat styling, friction from combing, diet, stress and the natural ageing process cause serious damage to your hair making it limp and lack lustre, coarse, tangled, dull, difficult to style and mange.
Now whatever the damage, you can help transform your hair to perfect health with Ojon hair treatments formulated with nature's golden elixir. This 500-year-old secret was discovered by Ojon founder Denis Simioni in the remote regions of the tropical rainforest in Central America. The velvety-smooth, golden elixir is obtained from the nut of the native Ojon tree and is hand-extracted according to ancient, eco-friendly traditions. In one year, a single Ojon tree yields less than 8000 nuts, just enough to produce 3 cups of this precious natural ingredient. The purity of this precious oil is what creates its natural affinity for hair.
Please note: Ojon products contains nuts.

Why Security Matters
Security and privacy requirements continue to evolve and are increasing becoming a critical purchasing decision point for consumers, industry and governments. Requirements are rapidly evolving around data ownership and privacy in smart devices, such as mobile phones and tablets; and security within the Internet of Things is rapidly ramping in reaction to advanced threats such as Stuxnet and potential impacts on critical national infrastructure.
Smart Devices
Cutting edge devices such as smartphones and tablets provide consumers with high value experiences based on an expanding set of services. These range from productivity solutions such as access to email and corporate VPN, to online commerce and banking, to entertainment in the form of music and video, and many more. However, such is the capability and performance of today's mobile devices that a new approach is required to match the services consumer demand with the risk that asset owners are willing to accept. To realize their fullest potential, mobile devices require not just power efficiency and performance but also security.
ARM is working with its Partners and standards organizations to make it easier and quicker to develop platforms and devices with robust security based on TrustZone® technology. As part of this initiative, ARM has created the TrustZone Ready Program,designed to simplify the development of chipsets and devices with a hardware-backed Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).
Evolving from Legacy Approaches
We have become used to the legacy PC user experience where the system is continuously under attack from a wide range of threats such as viruses, malware, man in the middle/browser attacks, keyloggers and zero day attacks (making use of undetected vulnerabilities).
The problem of securing large computing systems has led to the provision of an array of separate trusted hardware such as One Time Password dongles, credit card/PIN derived pass codes and complicated protocols for authentication. This growing array of hardware needed to access your bank or corporate network makes for a poor user experience, for example limiting the access to your bank account to when you have the dongle in reach.
High value services demand trusted platforms that can provide protection from software attack and enable secure protection for critical code and valuable data. As we move to the "Internet of Things" era with billions of smart connected devices a new approach is required that provides a Trusted Execution Environment built on specialized hardware available in a wide selection of modern ARM application processors.
Internet of Things & Embedded Security
Smart Devices, with feature rich operating systems, are not the only target of the modern hacker, and increasingly the industry is dealing with the advent of APD (advanced persistent threats) against critical infrastructure such as water, gas, electricity, transportation and other utilities.
The advent of the Internet of Things, with billions of additional connected devices offers significant enhancements to how we live our lives as citizens but also carries risks around subversion of the technology and management of privacy. With this in mind ARM is working with its ecosystem to develop advanced system platforms that integrate robust security controls that can ensure data is tightly constrained.
ARM has a rich history in this embedded domain with hundreds of millions of SmartCard and SIM devices shipped every year based on ARM technology. At the centre of these devices are the SecurCore range of processors which deliver the same flexibility and programmability of traditional microcontroller devices while delivering a range of specific tamper-resistant technologies that can help defeat physical and software attacks.
Where physical tamper-resistance is less important may partners already implement strong embedded security devices based on the Cortex-M range of processors. Here, through the integration of cryptography, secure storage, and professional entropy sources, such as random number generators, partners are already enabling a Secure Internet of Things.

Automates typing of frequently used text and pictures and auto-corrects typos
Have you ever experienced the frustration of having to repeatedly type your name, e-mail address, and other words or phrases again and again? Do you often misspell words when typing? Typinator boosts your productivity by automating the process of inserting frequently used text and graphics and auto-correcting typos. Drag-and-drop import from Textpander, TextExpander, and TypeIt4Me makes migration to Typinator a no-brainer.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: text , expander , textexpander , expansion , snippets , abbreviation , automatic , software , insert , pictures

Besides the normal use, I started to replace search extensions in browsers. For example, keywurl in Safari vs. search drop down in Camino. Just use typinator to put the search string into the URL field, and Camino starts to behave like Safari, plus you avoid the version problems of keywurl and Safari 4.
Worth the money IMHO.
Just used this program via macheist, works nicely.
its a huge security risk to do passwords, if your password is too long, try shortening it?
Doesn't allow to text expansion in password fields, where all you see is ······ instead of the letters/numbers. Other apps that can't do this either and are slow too are TextExpander and TypeIt4Me. They all suck. Maybe one day we'll get a good one. None is worth the price at all.
I used to use TextExpander, but for some reason their latest updates gave me problems with clip insert expansions. Glad I found Typinator. It's better than TextExpander.
I have had problems with the other apps in this class but Typinator works as advertised. Tech support is prompt and courteous.
Works exactly the way I want it. Tried both Rapidowrite and Textexpander but had problems with both of them.
I tried TextExpander and TypeIt4Me (which I actually purchased) and Typinator wipes the floor with them. It expands fast in all apps I've tried (unlike TypeIt4Me), it has lots of options as to expansion (i.e., per-abbreviation space options), and the full size interface is much more useable than the prefpanes of the other two. It also has nice per-app and per-abbreviation exclusion capabilities. My only gripe is that it's a bit of a pain to create new abbreviations because there is no shortcut for it, but I can live with that.
Great little app.
Just got Typinator as part of the MacUpdate Bundle Deal. I can already see this is going to be a great surprise. Looks like my money was well spent.
I run 3.0 and I cant do without it, works in all iWork apps on my machine.
I purchased Typinator when it was featured on MacZOT! I don't understand why it [version 2.0, at least] is not as popular as Textpander.
"It does what it says on the tin."
Typinator does everything I thought it would do, and does it well. Most of my comments on this site refer to programs I really like and how they "just work." This is another such comment about another such program.
I have a few handy abbreviations set up, and they were why I purchased the program but, through use, I've come to realise I most value the auto-correct feature. My common typos, the ones I make through inattention or exhaustion, are corrected immediately regardless of whether I'm e-mailing or replying to an instant message.
It makes me look better than I really am. More programs should do that! :-)

Rather than spending time in the sunny climes of the standard student spring break destinations, Juniata students decided to help others as about 20 students and staff traveled to St. Bernard Parish, a suburb of New Orleans, La., to help clean up from the devastating Aug. 29 Hurricane Katrina storm.
"I don't think any of us were fully prepared to see what had happened to these homes," says David Witkovsky, Juniata chaplain and leader of the group that went to St. Bernard parish (one of the hardest-hit flood areas).
Two Juniata groups went to the Gulf Coast. One led by Lisa Baer, Catholic chaplain, and Rosalie Rodriguez, special assistant to the president for diversity and inclusion, went to Lucedale, Miss., where they repaired damaged homes. In St. Bernard Parish, the Juniata group cleaned out homes that had been under 15 feet of water, sludge and sewage during the worst flooding.
"Everybody thought they were prepared from seeing the damage on the news," says Amanda Partington '08, a sophomore from Olney, Md. "We arrived and we were lost for 45 minutes because there are no street signs, no people to ask for directions and there is nothing left standing."
The Juniatians spent most of the time cleaning out homes and stripping the drywall from house framing. "It was pretty bad. We found refrigerators that smelled so bad we didn't want to know what was in there. We just duct-taped them tightly and took them out of the house," Partington says.
The groups worked March 6-10 in the Gulf Coast, and one homeowner wrote this on her blog: "As we tackled the house, I saw that these girls knew what they were doing. This was not the first house they had gutted. They worked together seamlessly, and so FAST. I could barely keep up with them. They weren't afraid of anything."

Clarity has been given a bad rap the past week.
It all started last Friday night after returning from a high school football game.
Knew the Atlanta Braves' season had come to an end after losing 6-3 in a wild-card playoff game with St. Louis and also aware of a delay which interrupted the bottom of the eighth inning for 19 minutes. Not exactly sure why. Just assumed inclement weather arrived in Atlanta.
After Friday's newspaper deadline, I checked e-mails and on one internet site noticed a headline prompting a quick look at a video replay of an infield fly called by umpire Sam Holbrook stationed along the foul line in shallow left field.
Once he recognized Cardinal shortstop Pete Kozma raising his arms in the air as if to signify his confidence of catching the fly ball, Holbrook ruled an infield fly even though the fielder was well beyond the infield dirt.
In fact, Matt Holliday in left field was in better position to make the play as the ball fell to the grass between the two fielders. Instead of having bases loaded with one out, Atlanta batter Andrelton Simmons was called out.
Chaos ensued as Braves fans began throwing every piece of trash imaginable onto the playing surface. As a Braves fan, I agreed with their disgust. On the drive home, I felt cheated.
It wasn't the one-and-done format that bothered me. I understood the penalty for not winning the division, but to see what I thought was a blown call was another story.
To borrow a phrase from football referees, "after further review," the proper call was made. However, I don't agree with the interpretation of the rule.
If an infielder really wanted to make his case, he could sprint to the outfield warning track with his arms raised signifying he is camped under a fly ball and that would warrant an infield fly. A modification of the rule is in order.
Clarity also stood on shaky ground at Tuesday's Wood County Middle School Tennis Championships at City Park.
Middle school athletic director Bill Vincent figured he was making the right call in case Jackson and Marietta finished in a tie atop the girls team standings. If one developed, he would declare them co-champs.
Guess what, it happened. Several discussions transpired over the course of the next 10 to 15 minutes. Some civil, some not-so-civil. During the awards ceremony, two grown adult males nearly engaged in a physical altercation.
Fortunately, level heads prevailed as the head coaches from the two programs involved mutually decided to issue the first-place plaque to Marietta and runner-up honors to Jackson.
Upon returning to the office, I learned all middle school sports in West Virginia are governed by the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, and their protocol for breaking a tiebreaker for tournaments similar to yesterday's middle school format have the number of individual champions as the first criteria. Marietta won four titles, compared to Jackson's three. Now that's clarity.

I find PS3MS to be a fantastic app superior to tversity. Only have one issue:
When streaming a video file with subtitles (srt), fast forward and "go to" functions no longer works. Picture just freezes and nothing happens. Its now only possible to use circle to stop the movie. Fast forward and go to works fine when no subtitles are present. I guess this is because it goes into transcoding mode with subtitles and this can't handle the seeking for some reason?
I can understand if fast forward is too taxing in transcoding mode but "Go to" should be possible?

STANFORD -- Stanford backup quarterback Josh Nunes will miss spring football practice after suffering an undisclosed injury, coach David Shaw said Friday.
"It was a freak occurrence," Shaw said. "He'll be in sling but he will make a full recovery."
Shaw said the former starter suffered the injury during a workout within the past two weeks.
"It shocked us," Shaw said. "It's something that never happened before."
With former Monte Vista-Danville star Brett Nottingham transferring to Columbia, Nunes' injury gives young quarterbacks Evan Crower and Dallas Lloyd a chance to showcase their skills this spring. Kevin Hogan is the starting quarterback.
"This will be a huge spring for Evan," Shaw said. "We wanted to give him an opportunity to compete, to see how he handles live drills."

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
An award-winning aviation historian chronicles the Navy's efforts to develop a powerful sea-based strike force through the use of long-range attack seaplanes supported by surface ships and submarines. William Trimble traces the concept back to the early 1930s when American strategic planners sought ways to mount an assault across the Pacific with minimum air support. But it was not until 1950, when the Navy was threatened with losing its big carriers and long-range aircraft, that the idea of a Seaplane Striking Force was resurrected. Lured by breakthroughs in seaplane performance and the promise of the turbojet-powered Convair Sea Dart fighter and the Martin Sea Master attack flying boat, the Navy believed it could challenge the Air Force in the strategic role, the author explains, but found that the technology did not live up to expectations.
This book investigates the difficulties of weapon system procurement within the context of strategic realities, interservice rivalry, and constrained defense budgets. It also looks at an alternative weapon system that the Navy saw as a means of extending its conventional reach and as a complement to the carrier and land-based bomber used for nuclear deterrence. That weapon, however, proved unsuccessful in the end. The author helps the reader understand that while conceptual and operational flaws kept the Seaplane Striking Force from achieving the goals set for it, the idea of a mobile weapon system capable of long-range attacks from the sea remains valid. Other books touch briefly on the subject, but this is the first to examine the concept in depth.
William F. Trimble, a former Lindbergh professor at the National Air and Space Museum, is chair of the history department at Auburn University. He is the author of several books, including Admiral William A. Moffett and Wings for the Navy.

Kelly Clark is living up to her fame at the Dew Tour iON Mountain Championships in Breckenridge - at least, that's what Friday's semifinals results say.
Among 13 women, defending champion Clark came out on top after round 1, putting down a run that no one could touch. Still, she upped her game in the second run, her victory lap, piecing together a frontside air, backside 540, frontside 720 into a cab 720 before throwing a frontside 540 and poked a method to end her run and take a 93.00 for the day.
Queralt Castellet of Spain earned an 85.00 for second place, while Elena Hight (South Lake Tahoe, Calif.) scored an 81.00 for third place.
Maddy Schaffrick (Steamboat Springs), Torah Bright (Australia) and Kaitlyn Farrington (Sun Valley, Idaho) will also advance.

I recently learned that the state of Ohio, whose official state rock song – this is a completely true fact – is "Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys, issues bright yellow license plates to people convicted of driving under the influence. That's right: the folks in the Ohio state legislature have come up with an entirely new, brightly colored way to make its DUI offenders miserable, as if simply living in Ohio wasn't punishment enough.
For those of you who don't believe me, I have here the official Ohio statute authorizing the creation of these license plates. It's located in The Ohio Statutes Bathroom Reader, chapter 11, section 15, row 9, seats 6 and 7, on the third-base side. It states, and I quote:
It shall be hereby decreed that the great state of Ohio, which has endured serious issues ranging from the time that river in Cleveland caught on fire to the time LeBron James moved to Florida and took approximately 4 percent of all state income tax revenue with him, will create a bright yellow license plate to shame DUI offenders. Oh, and one more thing: hang on, Sloopy. Sloopy, hang on!
I'm a bit surprised that the Ohio legislature would do something like this, but I have to admit that there is some precedent. Not from another state government, or from another jurisdiction elsewhere in the world, but rather from Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter.
Now, I know we all read The Scarlet Letter in high school, but just to refresh your memory, it tells the story of a young 17th century woman – for some reason, she's named Hester – who has an adulterous affair with a priest, bears an out-of-control child, and is eventually forced to wear a brightly colored "scarlet letter" on her dress because she blew a 0.16 one night driving her minivan home from a league bowling match. Even in the 1600s, people took this sort of thing very seriously.
But anyway, back to Ohio. The state of Ohio says that a judge can make you use one of these license plates if you've had a DUI and you're on a restricted driver's license. In other words, you probably won't have any problems if you're driving a yellow-plated car during the morning commute in suburban Cincinnati. But you might draw the ire of local law enforcement if, for example, you're in the parking lot of Big Jim's Booze and Buffet at 2 a.m. doing burnouts in a Chevy pickup that's loaded down with live chickens. Although, to be completely fair, this is probably an activity that many Ohioans engage in while sober.
Now, I have to admit that this whole thing actually seems like a fairly good idea in theory. After all, many states have restricted driver's licenses, but there's no real way to enforce them from outside the vehicle. Enter the yellow license plate, right? Well, sort of. You see, there's one little problem with these so-called DUI plates: other people.
Here's what I mean: let's say you get a DUI in the great state of Kentucky, which does not have an official rock song, though I suspect if it did it would be "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones. Basically, what happens there is, you get the DUI, and you go before the judge, and you have to pay thousands of dollars, and you lose your license for a while, but no one finds out about it. You could get a DUI in Kentucky tomorrow and the only people who would know are the arresting officer, the judge, and your fellow overnight cellmates, who are so strung out on meth that they think Scarlet Letter is a dancer at the local strip club who will blow a lot more than a 0.16 if you tip generously.
But in Ohio, everyone knows you've gotten a DUI. You show up at your 9-year-old daughter's elementary school field day, eager to cheer her on? They see your license plate. They know. "Pepper's dad got a DUI!" one parent will say. "Well of course he did," another will reply. "He named his daughter Pepper!"
But it's not just a problem at school events. Arrive at a job interview, and they see your plates. "I'm sorry," they tell you. "But we just don't think you have what it takes to scrub our toilets… DRUNKY!" Show up at a date's house for a nice evening meal. "Oh, is that your car?" she'll say. "I'm sorry, but I think I'm coming down with a bad case of… YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!"
Now, you might think I'm overreacting to all this, but here's the thing: everybody in Ohio knows about these plates. Before I wrote this column, I asked several people from Ohio about the yellow license plates, and they all agreed: when you get up next to these people in traffic, you stare at them as if they just ran over your puppy. Admittedly, one Ohioan said she sometimes confuses yellow-plated cars with "people from New Mexico," but noted that "they're probably all drunk too."
All of this got me thinking about our community standards. I think, at this point, we really have to ask ourselves: do we really want to do this to DUI offenders? Solid members of the community, who made one little mistake, now have to drive around for months like a social pariah? Mothers, pastors, friends, who were just a little over the legal limit should be shunned like outcasts? Is this really how we want to treat our fellow citizens?
The answer is: yeah, probably. So then I started thinking: why stop at DUI?
Well, it turns out that the excellent folks over at the Ohio state legislature are already waaay ahead of me on this one. You see, it seems they realized that the shame created by the yellow license plates is actually a bigger deterrent than the cost or punishment of actually getting a DUI in the first place. So way back in 2007, they also came up with the idea of giving green license plates to sex offenders, presumably so the rest of us would think twice before entering their unmarked white vans. Unfortunately, this bill died in committee, probably because they couldn't figure out what to do when someone has both a sex offense and a DUI conviction.
But I'm sad the green plates didn't work out, because I happen to think this whole "license plates for crimes" idea is a pretty good one. For example: people who let their dogs poop on my lawn should get a brown license plate. People who miss an entire green arrow because they're texting should get a green license plate. And people who name their child "Pepper" should just be taken outside and shot.

The Cougars sought to pull off the largest comeback of the season to date after trailing 7-1 heading into the ninth inning. Brandon Murray was hit by a pitch, Daniel Aldrich walked and Rob Harding reached on a throwing error that scored Murray. Cody Martin emptied the bases with a pinch-hit double to right center to make the score 7-4. After a flyout, Jackson came up as a pinch-hitter and hit his fifth home run of the season to electrify the dugout and make the score 7-6.
However, reliever Preston Hatcher retired Dre Watts and Marty Gantt to end the inning and preserve the Catamount win.
Western Carolina (27-16, 11-9) led for most of the game thanks to the strong pitching of Morgan McKinney. Heading into the ninth inning, McKinney had allowed just three hits and one run with three strikeouts. Despite being tagged for three runs in the ninth, McKinney (6-2) and his Catamount teammates held on for the win that put him at 6-2 on the season.
College of Charleston (30-13, 18-8) snapped its six-game winning streak as the Cougars struggled to find offensive production before the final frame. Starter Josh Renfro (6-4) allowed three runs on five hits in the loss and reliever Ryan West allowed four runs in the seventh inning, including a three-run double by Dykota Spiess that proved to be the eventual game-winner.
Brandon Murray scored two runs on one hit for CofC while Martin and Jackson each tallied two RBIs with their pinch-hit blasts in the ninth inning.
The Cougars scored first in the top of the first inning when Rob Harding punched a two-out single into right field that scored Murray from third and put CofC up 1-0.
The Catamounts answered in the bottom half of the inning with two singles from Austin Attaway and Ross Heffley. Attaway came around to score and tie the game on a double play groundout from Tyler White.
The Catamounts scored runs again in the third and fourth innings thanks to a sacrifice fly from Attaway and an RBI double by Bryant Noteboom.
McKinney kept the Cougars at bay by retiring 12 batters in a row before a single by Brandon Glazer in the seventh inning. However, the Catamounts turned a 4-6-3 double play to quickly end the threat.
Western Carolina struck for four runs in the bottom of the seventh, including a three-run pinch-hit double off the wall in left field from Spiess that came with two outs. The three insurance runs eventually proved to be the difference in the game.
Despite a final one-run margin, the Catamounts outhit the Cougars 14-5 with the top three WCU batters all tallying three hits.
The rubber game of the series will come on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Childress Field.

OAKLAND -- The Warriors' goal is to usually get out in transition. But in the first round of the playoffs, which begin Saturday, they'll face a team better at it than themselves.
Still, Golden State apparently has no plans on slowing the game down against Denver, the league's highest-scoring team. You know what that likely means.
"It's going to be up-tempo," point guard Stephen Curry said. "We want to do what we do best, knowing that's a strength of theirs as well."
It's already being billed as the most entertaining series of the first round. The Nuggets and Warriors are peas in a pod -- explosive offenses, sometimes defenses and an energetic home court. Denver and Golden State rank second and fourth, respectively, in possessions per 48 minutes.
In some ways, it's an ideal matchup for the Warriors. Golden State figured to be at a disadvantage in the playoffs, in which teams tend to slow the game down and emphasize half-court prowess. The Warriors have struggled against physical teams that thrive in the half-court.
Instead, they get a team that plays their style.
"I feel like the matchup's a pretty good matchup," center Andrew Bogut said. "They like to run. We like to run."
But Denver is the league's best at the up-tempo game. The Nuggets average 106.1 points and ranked fourth in the league at 47.8 percent shooting.
Part of what makes the Nuggets so tough to stop is that they come at teams from so many directions. Denver had six players average double figures, led by point guard Ty Lawson's 16.7 points. Two reserves, center JaVale McGee and guard Andre Miller, average more than nine points.
The Nuggets led the league in fast-break points and points in the paint. The Warriors don't want to slow down the game, just slow down Denver. It's something they weren't able to do in the season series.
"The ways they hurt us is the way they win a lot of their games," forward David Lee said. "They really want to get out and run. They want to get easy baskets. The more we can prevent that, the bigger chance we have. ... There's a difference between them playing fast and playing transition and them getting easy buckets. We have to get back and take away their layups and dunks."
Golden State doesn't match up in the athletic department. So, coach Mark Jackson is emphasizing discipline. But setting up their defense alone isn't going to cut it. The Warriors will have to score with the Nuggets, who give up 101.1 points per game. And their strength is the NBA's great equalizer.
The Warriors are the league's best 3-point shooting team (40.3 percent) and Denver allowed the second-most 3-pointers in the NBA (687).
"The game pace can be as fast as the Nuggets want it to be," Lee said. "We're just going to go in there and be aggressive. We're going to try to hit first and strike first."
