Saigon Grill owners arrested Dec 04 2008
More on the Saigon Grill saga: the owners were arrested yesterday on over 400 counts of "violating minimum-wage laws, falsifying business records and defrauding the state's unemployment insurance system".
"Like so many restaurants across New York City, Saigon Grill was run on the backs of its workers," Mr. Cuomo said in a statement. "These workers allowed the business to thrive, and in exchange they were allegedly cheated out of wages, fined for ridiculous reasons" and, he said, "pulled into a painstaking ploy to cover it all up."

Driver dies hours after two-car crash
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 9:03 a.m.
A 22-year-old from Gray died Thursday of injuries sustained hours earlier in a Lafourche Parish crash, State Police said.
Jeremy Duet was driving south on La. Bayou Blue Road near Bayou Blue Bypass Road just after midnight when he lost control of his 1997 Ford Taurus in a curve and ran off the left side of the road, State Police Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said.
Duet jerked the wheel, spun back onto the road and crossed the center line where he was broadsided by an oncoming 2008 Nissan Titan, according to Harrell.
Edmond Gros, 32, of Vacherie, was driving the Nissan, police said. Gros had not been drinking, according to results of a breath-alcohol test administered after the crash, Harrell said.
Gros sustained injuries that Harrell described as minor.
Both drivers wore their seat belts, he said.
Duet was transported to LSU-Interim Public Hospital in New Orleans, where he later died from his injuries. Toxicology tests, required by state law in all fatal crashes, are pending.
The crash remains under investigation.

NEW: Donna Summer's Manasota Key home sells for $2.85 million
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 2:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 2:56 p.m.
The Manasota Key home of the late disco queen Donna Summer just sold for $2.85 million.
The residence, which includes 200 feet along the Gulf of Mexico, originally was listed for $3.2 million. It was on the market for 71 days before going under contract in February.
Summer, a multimillion-selling singer and songwriter who rose to fame in the 1970s disco era, had owned the property as her second home since September 2007. She died of lung cancer at age 63 last May in Naples.
The buyers are Detlev von Platen, the president and chief executive officer of Porsche Cars North America Inc., based in Atlanta, and his wife.
They were unaware the estate had belonged to Summer, said Maryann Casey, an agent with the Englewood office of Michael Saunders & Co., who represented them.
They saw the home on the Saunders website while waiting in Atlanta for a flight to Sarasota, Casey said.
"This was the couple's first visit to Manasota Key, and they immediately fell in love with both the home and the key, and bought the property in less than 24 hours," she said.
Once owned by country singer Mel Tillis, the four-bedroom, four-bath Old Florida home was built in 1950. The 1.1-acre property is in a private, gated enclave on North Manasota Beach Road with both Gulf and bay access.
The 3,786-square-foot house, which has undergone numerous updates, includes exposed-beam ceilings, a covered veranda across the east side, and an open patio overlooking a pool. A boat house and dock also are on the east side.
Nelda Thompson & Associates in Englewood listed the property.
Summer -- whose hits included "Love to Love You, Baby," "Bad Girls," "Hot Stuff" and "Last Dance" -- will be posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday.

- Phil Robertson off 'Duck Dynasty' after anti-gay remarks
One of the stars of A&E's "Duck Dynasty" said homosexuality is a sin and illogical.
Funny -- that's what some might say about how he dresses.
Phil Robertson recently told GQ magazine: "It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me," Robertson said. "I'm just thinking: There's more there. She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
Robertson talked about how sin is becoming acceptable in America and the country needs to get back to its Christian values.
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," Robertson said. "Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers -- they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
The patriarch of the Robertson family said it's all about Jesus.
"If you simply put your faith in Jesus coming down in flesh, through a human being, God becoming flesh living on the earth, dying on the cross for the sins of the world, being buried, and being raised from the dead -- yours and mine and everybody else's problems will be solved. And the next time we see you, we will say: 'You are now a brother. Our brother.' So then we look at you totally different then," Robertson said.
Then, somehow, the 67-year-old said he doesn't judge others.
"We never, ever judge someone on who's going to heaven, hell. That's the Almighty's job," Robertson said. "We just love 'em, give 'em the good news about Jesus -- whether they're homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort 'em out later."
As one can imagine, GLAAD wasn't thrilled with Robertson's remarks.
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe," GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said in a statement. "He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans -- and Americans -- who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."

How is prostate cancer diagnosed?
The diagnosis of prostate cancer most commonly involves a combination of three tests:
Digital rectal examination: As part of a physical examination your doctor inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into your rectum and feels toward the front of your body. The prostate gland is a walnut or larger sized gland immediately in front of the rectum, and beneath your bladder. The back portion of prostate gland can be felt in this manner. Findings on this exam are compared to notes about the patient's prior digital rectal examinations.
The exam is usually brief, and most find it uncomfortable due to the pressure used to adequately examine the prostate gland. Findings such as abnormal size, lumps, or nodules, may indicate prostate cancer.
This examination should be part of an annual physical in all men over 50 years of age to note changes in the prostate. In men with a family history of prostate cancer, or in African American men exams should begin at 40 years of age.
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test: The PSA blood test measures the level of a protein found in the blood that is produced by the prostate gland and helps keep semen in liquid form. The PSA test can indicate an increased likelihood of prostate cancer if the PSA is at an increased or elevated level, but it does not provide a definitive diagnosis. Prostate cancer can be found in patients with a low PSA level but this occurs less than 20% of the time.
If the PSA level is elevated (levels can depend upon your age, on the size of your prostate gland on examination, certain medications you may be taking, or recent sexual activity), further testing may be needed to rule out prostate cancer.
PSA measurements are often tracked over time to look for evidence of a change. The amount of time it takes for the PSA level to increase is referred to as PSA velocity. A PSA doubling time can be also tracked in this fashion. PSA velocity and PSA doubling time can help your doctor determine whether prostate cancer may be present.
The presence of an abnormal result on digital rectal examination, or a new or progressive abnormality in a PSA test may lead to a referral to a surgeon who specializes in diseases of the urinary system (a urologist) who may perform further testing, such as a biopsy of the prostate gland.
Prostate biopsy: A biopsy refers to a procedure which involves taking of a sample from a tissue in the body. Prostate cancer is only definitively diagnosed by finding cancer cells on a biopsy sample taken from the prostate gland.
The urologist may have you stop medications such as blood thinners before the biopsy. On the day of the biopsy the doctor will apply a local anesthetic by injection or topically as a gel inside the rectum over the area of prostate gland. An ultrasound probe is then placed in the rectum. This device uses sound waves to take a picture of the prostate gland and helps guide the biopsy device. The device used is a spring-loaded needle that allows the urologist to extract cores from the prostate gland. Usually 12 cores are obtained, six from each side. Two cores are taken from the upper, middle, and lower portions of the prostate gland. The cores are submitted for analysis to a pathologist (a doctor who specializes in examining tissues to make a diagnosis). Results may take several days.
A biopsy procedure is usually uncomplicated, with just some numbness, pain, or tenderness in the area for a short time afterwards. Occasionally, a patient has some bleeding in the urine after the procedure. Rarely, the patient may develop an infection after a biopsy procedure, or be unable to urinate. The patient will be advised to call and consult a doctor if such problems occur.

Started running 4 years ago. I have run 6 Halfs over the last 2 years so I am now doing my first whole shabang next month. (marathon for those that do know what a shabang is) Training for this is a life altering experience. I feel different and had to change up certain things. So I am wondering who else, if anyone feels this way. I am 47 so I am very familar with how my life use to feel. It's a good, no wait, great feeling but I am wondering does everyone go through changing their life around?
Your first marathon is special, so enjoy the journey. I've read that the best thing a runner can do is train for a marathon, but never run it...lol I wouldn't go that far, but training for one sure does get you in good shape. I don't know if my first was a life changing experience, but I sure did hold my head high when it was over.
At any rate Urbster, my suggestion is to run this first with no other goal than to finish in good shape. You've got plenty of time to chase a time goal, let this first one be a learning experience.
How's your training going, are you feeling good about where you're at with a month to go? I'm in my second week of taper btw, my marathon is Sept. 30th.
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Congratulations Urbster!
It certainly creates a new perspective and you should be proud of your preparation efforts. I cannot speak for others regarding the the mental and physical process to achieve the full marathon, because it was especially difficult for me, but I am certain that most have to alter focus and improve levels of determination in one way or another. In my humble opinion, you have already completed one of the greatest challenges....and that is simply having the personal confidence to succeed.
Running, in general, has changed my life, so I fully understand some of your feelings. I can also say that I had to struggle with having faith in my training and abilities for the first marathon, but, as Rich suggested, the hard work is already behind you. Just keep reminding yourself of that fact, if necessary.
P.S....plan your post-race party/activities...you are going into a completely different space soon and it is important to celebrate the advancement.
Best wishes for a wonderful event.
I think the impact of a first marathon depends significantly on where one is in one's running "career" and also on one's motivation for doing the marathon. It is a very individual experience.
I ran my first marathon in 2009, but had started running many years earlier - in 1983 - and racing in 1986, so there was a very long running history leading up to it. Of course I had to significantly gear up the training and follow a very structured and intense 18 week program, but I did not have to make any major lifestyle changes to train and race it. My primary motivation was simply to conquer a running challenge that would push my physical and mental capabilities to the limit. There was also an element of mid-life crisis (I was 53 and figured I didn't have forever to wait) but I was not running for a particular cause, other than the charities generally supported by the marathon. The bottom line is that although I was, and still am, intensely proud of that special achievement, I would not consider it life-altering.

Hard question to answer change my life? I did my 1st about your age and have been training since, so I guess it did? Here is a quote that fit's me. " There will be days that you don't know if you can run a marathon...but there will be a life time knowing that you have. Marathons are all DIFFERENT, but each time you cross that finish line, you hunger for the next one...it's a great feeling of accomplishment! I am 52 now and my next one is Oct 28! Good luck as others have stated don't worry about a time for this one, just run it.
Did it change my life? -- as in, did I have some mystical experience that made all things clear for me --- no.
I'm not too philosophical about it. Running is what it is. It certainly does not bring any self-centered pride as there are always other runners who are better, and run further.
And after a few days the training starts again which brings a whole new set of challenges to humble me.
Over 30 years ago as a senior in high school, I decided I wanted to run the boston marathon. Stupid kid really, I'd never run a race longer than 10 miles and was mostly just a cross country 3 miler, albeit one that eventually set the standard for my high school for years to come. I had no support system for such an undertaking, and no one really coaching me on where to even start. I just read the old 'runners' magazine which disappeared decades ago, and I believe I did read some Higdon stuff and maybe even Jim Fixx. Reading is one thing, training for and running a marathon completely different.
Times were much different then. No iPod. I think I had a sony walkman cassette player to pass the time. My training timepiece may have been a digital timex with a stop watch mode. I had a hand held stopwatch for interval training. It never occurred to me to run near marathon distance to prepare. My longest long run was probably less than 14 miles. I think one of the thoughts in the day was really long really slow, so I recall trying to run those 13 milers as slow as I possibly could. Funny how times and the 100% best ideas for success change.
I don't have my training logs to look back at how I did it. I do recall supplementing my training with 2 a days and I recall absolutely despising running in the morning. My body just didn't like it at all. I probably topped out in the 60-70 mile a week range.
Anywho, long story short, I had to hit a 2:50 for my 18 year old age, that much I remember. I lined up for the old Philly marathon in 1982 (course much different than today as I recall) and just ran like I didn't know any better, because I didn't. No hydration belt, I may have had some Gatorgum, none of those GUs like today. I just remember focusing on clipping off mile after mile and before I knew it I was wrapped up in aluminum at the finish line in 2:41 and some change. I'd made it.
Did that change my life? Yea, I think it did. More so now than along the way. I look back and am absolutely amazed and sometimes question if it was really me. I have no idea how I pulled it off, and recreating the feat 30 years later was so much more of a challenge than it was for that naive kid.
I ran Boston in 1983, not nearly as motivated as I was just to make it. Boston remains the only race I ever walked in, yes, Heartbreak Hill did me in, and also the first race where a female beat me Not sure how long I walked but I finished that in 2:43:46.
I figured I wasn't Olympic bound, so what was there left to do with running for a dumb kid? So, I hung up my running shoes and picked up drinking Moosehead and Molson. Those were the days.
Thanks for asking.
Hi Urbster....in a word...yes.
I ranked crossing the finish line for my first full last October right up there with my wedding day, and the birth of my children. I think for me the fact that I committed to such a huge undertaking and completed it made me feel like I could do whatever I set my mind to. I only wanted an official finish...no particular time goal. I'm training for full #2 (October 21st Atlantic City) and this go round I've pretty much committed 1000% to the race...even more than the first. Weight training 3x a week (twice with a trainer), nutrition, plan I paid for (McMillan did an awesome job)...none of which I'd have done if I hadn't done number 1.
Enjoy the experience...it is life changing.
Not in the sense of having an epiphany. But my training changed, and my mindset changed. Each year now my main goal (for running) is the marathon. I'm not any kind of "marathon maniac". I only run one or two a year and I run a number of other races. But my preference now is for distance - half-marathons, 10-milers - to prepare better for those couple of marathons each year. I'm not single minded either, I have a lot of other interests. Just when it comes to running, it revolves around the marathon distance.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - In the spirit of election time, let's go back to the fall of 1908 elections. Here are the Aspen Daily Times comments on Thomas A. Rucker for county judge from Oct. 29. "Judge Thomas A. Rucker will be the successful candidate for county judge. He was nominated first by the Independent county convention, and later was indorsed by the Citizens and Bohunk Republicans. The office of county judge or any judicial position should be non-political. Judge Rucker should be on all the tickets, for he is by far the ablest attorney and the most competent man for a judicial position in this section of the country. He will most certainly be elected. He has a host of friends in all the political parties who will stand by him for anything he wants. Like all the other independent candidates, he is the best man for the place to which he aspires." This image is a colorized lantern slide.
Editor's note: This page is a partnership between the Snowmass Sun and the Aspen Historical Society with two primary goals in mind: to improve the knowledge of Snowmass history in the region and to collect historic photographs of the Snowmass region for the society.

Sarasota Military Academy eyes middle school
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 5:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 5:29 p.m.
SARASOTA - For years, leaders at the Sarasota Military Academy wanted to develop a campus just for middle school students. The high school was steadily growing — today, the second biggest charter school in Sarasota County.
But the project did not become a reality during the height of the Great Recession because "the numbers didn't add up," said headmaster Daniel Kennedy.
Until now — so long as the Sarasota County School Board grants its approval.
School leaders are planning to open a new charter middle school — dubbed "Sarasota Military Academy Prep" — in August 2014.
The campus containing four or five new school buildings along with soccer and lacrosse fields is expected to cost about $4.7 million to build on a 12-acre site at Fruitville Road and Bethel Lane, east of Interstate 75.
The new school's enrollment is expected to start at 450 students in the first year and will hire 30 new teachers, who could rotate between both campuses, Kennedy said.
Within five years, enrollment could reach 600.
SMAP, where students could take unique classes such as firearms safety, equestrian and bagpipes, will serve as a feeder school for the high school.
"The purpose is to better prepare students for the high school experience," Kennedy said.
With a well-known high school built and a middle school in the works, there are talks to someday include an elementary school, he said.
"We've talked about it," Kennedy said. "Who knows? That may happen."
As to the finances of building SMAP, Kennedy said the school plans to lease the property with the possibility of buying it in future years. He declined to say what the lease payments would be because the final price is still being negotiated, he said.
To build classrooms, Kennedy said the school plans to borrow money from its investors as well as seek a $250,000 federal grant.
The project is moving forward now that the the school's governing board has completed a new charter application. The board could submit the application next week to Sarasota County Schools, which oversees the creation of charter schools in the district.
In the 2012-13 year, about 965 students attended Sarasota Military Academy, at 801 N. Orange Ave.

Captain's Report by Dan Armitage
The 22' Wakesetter 22 MXZ is a new -- and very hot -- boat in the Malibu line-up for 2012.
Malibu 22M XZ Mission
Malibu tells us that the target audience for the new 22' 3" Wakesetter model is "anyone who wants to enjoy time on water aboard a comfortable wakeboard-style boat." Further, she has been designed to offer "the best pull" in Malibu's line-up of wakeboats. The MXZ is targeted "for high-level wake-boarders, or those who have aspirations of reaching that level."
That is a pretty crisp, unambiguous, mission statement for the 22 MXZ and should put the usual suspects on notice that there is a new boat on the prowl.
The most notable feature of the 22 MXZ is the new pickle-fork bow configuration. Here we see it with the center fill cushion in place, making one huge sun pad or play pen.
The MXZ also has a new hull with a deeper semi-V design specifically designed to create wake.
The keel of the Wakesetter 22 MXZ is equipped with large tracking fins.
What Malibu refers to as "Gorilla Fins" are fitted to the Wakesetter's hull to enhance the boat's tracking and turning abilities and to help eliminate rolling and sliding in turns.
The helm of the 22 MXZ has been moved aft slightly to create more space for lounge lizards.
Performance Features
Concealed ballast tanks complement the Wakesetter's deeper "wake-making" hull design.
Built-in, hard-sided ballast tanks are offered in three locations aboard the MXZ model, and are quickly filled and drained with high-flow pumps controlled from the helm. These "Malibu Launch System" reservoirs are offered as standard equipment in the stern and mid-ships, and in the bow as an option, with the new Wakesetter 22 model.
Malibu's patented Power Wedge automatic hydrofoil is an option aboard the MXZ.
The optional Power Wedge accessory functions as a reverse hydrofoil to direct water pressure from the boat's forward progress to pull the stern deeper into the water to generate more wake. Offered in manual and automatic versions from Malibu, the auto system is controlled from the helm and can be set to almost any position between stowed and fully engaged to change wake size and shape while underway. When fully deployed the Power Wedge offers the equivalent of up to 1200 pounds of ballast, says the builder.
The standard 22'3" Wakesetter is powered by an inboard 350-hp Malibu Monsoon.
The Wakesetter employs a V-drive configuration to concentrate as much weight aft as possible to help generate wakes. An optional 410-hp Malibu L96 6.0L is offered as an upgrade, as are saltwater power packages that include a 330-hp model. Malibu tells us that the standard 350-hp package will allow the boat to reach speeds in the mid 40-mph range. The boat is rated to 555-hp.
High Tech Features
The standard stainless steel gauge panel surrounds large analog speedometer and tachometer gauges with digital inserts that flank an LCD control screen or, as pictured, an optional 6.5 inch MaliView Dash System.
Malibu Touch Command (MTC) comes standard on the dash of the MXZ, offering Power Wedge, graphical ballast and lighting zone controls and coded, keyless ignition among other functions.
The MaliView Dash System is an option aboard the Wakesetter 22 MXZ.
Malibu's MaliView Dash System accessory increases the size of the standard in-dash LCD to 6.5 inches and transforms the display to high-resolution color and is designed to be visible in full sun. The MaliView offers control functions with ten-button navigation, including presets that control speed, ballast levels and Power Wedge position. The dash display also offers the ability to view video on the water from a variety of sources, live or recorded.
An Illusion G3 tower with a set of combination wakeboard/surf swivel racks comes standard on the new Wakesetter 22 MXZ from Malibu.
The Illusion tower features dual gas-assisted shocks for "weightless" fold-down and a variety of rack and speaker options.
One Illusion G3 tower option is a Flo-cam Rear View Rider Camera System that documents action made viewable live or recorded through the optional MaliView Dash System or after-market viewing systems.
Seating Features
The broad, pickle-fork hull design allows the forward seating area to expand to port and starboard at the bow, creating more "elbow room" for passengers seated up front.
The wrap-around seating in the cockpit can comfortably accommodate seven passengers plus the skipper, while the boat has USCG-rated capacity for 15.
LED lighting illuminates recessed areas along each side of the cockpit that are topped with padded bolsters to provide comfortable seating. Check out the flush-mounted stainless steel grab rails in a design that is reflected in hardware throughout the boat.
A section of the starboard cockpit seat base contains a compartment for a soft-side portable cooler.
Aft-facing stern seats double as storage compartments.
The fiberglass swim platform is mounted so low for easy access that a boarding ladder is offered as an option. Both the platform and ladder are removable. Note the top of the platform has some rocker to it to help take the pressure off wakeboard skegs.
ObservationsThis boat seems to offer every performance and comfort option a serious wakeboarder could ask for, aboard a boat built by a manufacturer with a reputation for providing quality ski/wakeboard boats.
This boat is not cheap, but then good products never are. The 22 MXZ is designed for hard-core wakesters who want to bring a bevy of babes along to ogle the entertainment. There is nothing subtle about this boat, and that is the general idea. The MXZ is hot and proud of it.

Trans fat doesn't stir much 'nanny state' debate
This May 31, 2012 file photo shows a man leaveing a 7-Eleven store with a Double Gulp drink, in New York. (AP Photo/Richard Drew, File) by Connie CassAssociated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — They are among our most personal daily decisions: what to eat or drink. Maybe what to inhale. Now that the government's banning trans fat, does that mean it's revving up to take away our choice to consume all sorts of other unhealthy stuff? What about salt? Soda? Cigarettes?

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Whatever doubt there was about naming Sonny Gray the A's ace in his first full season in the major leagues was erased Monday in his 4-0 win over Texas.
Matched up against the Rangers' top starter, Yu Darvish, Gray was completely the master of ceremonies, doling out just three hits and one walk.
"That was the toughest shutout I've ever caught," catcher John Jaso said. "After the game, it was cool. But his pitches were moving all over the place. He was making up pitches out there."
Jaso and manager Bob Melvin marveled at the sliders Gray threw, mostly because he doesn't throw one.
"I did throw a handful of sliders," Gray said, breaking into a grin. "It was a nice weapon."
The Rangers didn't think so. This is a team that's built to hit playing in a ballpark built for hitters. And Texas got three lousy singles off Gray, one of which should have been ruled an error. Only five visiting pitchers have thrown a shutout of three hits or fewer in what is now known as Globe Life Park.
"That's something when you think of all the great pitchers who have thrown here," Gray said. "This park or any park, that's tough to do, throw nine innings like that."
While pitching the A's back into first place, Gray improved his record to 4-1 with a 1.76 ERA. He needed 108 pitches to do it, exactly the same number of pitches he threw in seven innings against the Rangers in a 3-0 loss last week at the Coliseum.
Gray was good then. He was brilliant Monday, even when he uncorked a couple of wild pitches and hit a batter.
"The ball was coming in all over the place," Jaso said. "It was 95 (mph), 93. He threw a ball behind (Elvis) Andrus, not on purpose, but just because the ball popped out. When that happens, the pitch is usually 76. This one was 95."
Gray said "it was so fun" and credited his sinker and the A's defense for much of the success. He credited a first-inning double play for getting him out of an early jam. He walked leadoff hitter Michael Choice but after the double play didn't walk anyone else.
Josh Reddick, who had three hits, said watching Gray was a lesson in how to pitch against quality.
"To do it against one of the top competitors (Darvish) in the league," Reddick said. "To do it in this park and to do it against that lineup. That's tough to do."
With the return of veteran Matt Harrison from the disabled list, the Rangers gave Darvish the opportunity to pick his next foe -- Seattle on Sunday or Oakland on Monday with Harrison getting the other. Darvish chose Oakland, a team with a six-game winning streak against him.
Make that seven. The A's scored twice in the third, then twice more in the fourth in knocking Darvish out of the game.
Rangers manager Ron Washington suggested that the A's discipline once again caught up with Darvish, who likes to have hitters chase pitches out of the strike zone.
"They know what they want to hit, and they wait on it," Washington said.

Stocks to Watch: Google, Coach, Annie's
By Mia Lamar
Among companies with shares expected to actively trade in Wednesday's session are Google (GOOG) Coach (COH) and Annie's (BNNY).
Google posted fourth-quarter results Tuesday that reflected enduring strength in its core business and something of a rebound in online-advertising prices, helping send the Internet company's shares up 4.9% to $736.97 in premarket trading. Google said its fourth-quarter profit improved 6.7% over the same period last year, as the weight of its recent $12.4 billion acquisition Motorola Mobility lightened somewhat.
Coach's fiscal second-quarter earnings came in short of expectations amid a disappointing holiday performance in North America, where the luxury handbag maker's same-store sales fell 2%. Shares plunged 15% to $51.39 in premarket trade.
Annie's is recalling its frozen-pizza products due to possible fragments of metal mesh in flour and pizza dough from a third-party supplier, which will weigh on sales for the organic-food maker. News of the voluntary recall sent Annie's shares down 11% to $34.10 in premarket trading, and posed a major hiccup to Annie's nascent attempt to move into the frozen-food aisle.
Allergan (AGN) said Tuesday it will buy MAP Pharmaceuticals (MAPP) in a $958 million deal that would help the Botox maker expand sales of medical treatments. The cash deal–for $25 a share, or a 60% premium to MAP's closing price on Tuesday–came after the two companies had agreed to sell jointly a migraine drug called Levadex that MAP had developed and that is awaiting approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. MAP shares jumped 59% to $24.84 premarket Wednesday.
International Business Machines (IBM) reported a 6.3% increase in fourth-quarter earnings as growth in more-profitable areas such as cloud computing and business analytics software offset some continuing weakness in its services business. Shares jumped 3.9% to $203.75 premarket as results beat analyst expectations and as the company offered upbeat earnings guidance for 2013.
Molycorp (MCP) said it will offer up to $200 million in stock and $100 million in debt as the company looks to fund expenditures at its Mountain Pass, Calif., rare-earth manufacturing complex. Shares sank 13% to $7.64 premarket.
Security-software company Symantec (SYMC) posted surprise earnings growth and higher-than-anticipated revenue in its fiscal third quarter, sending shares up 5.5% to $22 in premarket trade.
Cree (CREE) fiscal second-quarter profit rose 69% as the energy-efficient light maker saw broad-based revenue growth. Shares jumped 14% in premarket trading to $38.16 as the company also gave an optimistic third-quarter view.

Targeting Ras/Raf/MEK/Map Kinase
The Ras/Raf/MEK/Map kinase pathway is a group of cellular proteins that play a key role in cellular growth and proliferation. When a growth-stimulating hormone or growth factor binds to a receptor located on the cell's surface, a series of subsequent events take place within the cell. Specifically, the ras protein is activated and in turn activates raf. Raf then activates MEK, which is an activator of map kinases (ie: Erk) that ultimately trigger cell proliferation. This process, by which a message from outside the cell is delivered through the surface and into the cell, is referred to as receptor-mediated cell signaling. The ras signaling pathway is well-described, and has been implicated in regulation of cellular motility, invasiveness, and immortality, among other things. Mutations of proteins in this pathway have been found to contribute to about 20% of all human cancers. In fact, ras is the most frequently mutated known oncogene in human tumors. Ras mutations are present in about 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas, 50% of colon adenocarcinomas, and 40% of lung adenocarcinomas. B-raf oncogene mutations have been implicated in 68% of metastatic melanomas, 36% of papillary thyroid cancers, and a smaller but substantial percentage of colorectal and other solid tumors.
Targeting Agents
Farnesyltransferase Inhibitors (FTIs)
Several FTIs are in various stages of laboratory and clinical development, and appear to have broad activity against breast cancer cell lines. There appears to be enhancement of benefit (synergy) when FTIs are used together with cytotoxic agents.
Zarnestra (R115777, tipifarnib) is the FTI that is furthest along in development. A phase II trial of patients with previously treated metastatic breast cancer tested two different dosing schedules: continuous and intermittent. The objective response rates in the 2 groups were 10% and 14%, with an additional 15% and 9% who had stable disease for at least 6 months. The major side effects observed were bone marrow suppression and neuropathy, both of which were less in the intermittent dosing group than the continuous. Several phase I studies of zarnestra and other FTIs have been performed in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy and have demonstrated the safety of these combo regimens. Phase II trials in breast cancer are underway, including one using zarnestra in combination with an aromatase inhibitor. FDA approval for zarnestra use in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is pending phase III data, as the FDA committee voted against accelerated approval for zarnestra based on data from a single-armed phase II trial.
Raf Inhibitors
Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) is the first compound to target not only the Raf/MEK/Erk signaling pathway (as mentioned above), but also the VEGFR and PDGFR pathways (see Targeting Angiogenesis section). It was first developed by Onyx Pharmaceuticals, which then partnered with Bayer in order to complete drug development. In March 2004, sorafenib was granted Fast Track status by the FDA for metastatic renal cell cancer. In April 2005, sorafenib was accepted into the Pilot 1 Program, which is designed for therapies that have been granted FDA Fast Track status and that have the potential to provide significant benefit over existing standard therapy. Bayer and Onyx are sponsoring numerous clinical trials to help catapult this drug into the forefront of anti-cancer targeted therapies.
There are several large, international, multiinstitution phase III clinical studies of sorafenib underway in patients with advanced stage primary cancers of the kidney and liver, as well as metastatic melanoma.
At this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference, results of a planned interim analysis of an ongoing phase III trial in patients with advanced kidney cancer were presented (Escudier et al.). Among 769 analyzed patients, progression-free survival (PFS) was doubled to a median value of 24 weeks with sorafenib, compared to 12 weeks with placebo. The benefits from sorafenib were observed in all patient subgroups, regardless of age, duration of disease, or prior therapies. Disease control was achieved in 80% of patients who received sorafenib: 78% had stable disease (compared to 55% in the placebo arm) and 2% had partial response (compared to none in the placebo arm). The 12-week progression-free rate was 79% for sorafenib vs. 50% for placebo. Furthermore, sorafenib was very well tolerated in 768 patients, and the most common side effects were hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea, and rash, including a rash on the hand and foot (hand and foot syndrome).
In light of these results, and based on discussions with the principal investigators, the DMC, and regulatory authorities, Bayer and Onyx recommended that all patients in this trial be offered access to sorafenib (i.e. switch out of the placebo arm). Also, Bayer and Onyx submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for possible approval in this indication by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Bayer and Onyx also recently announced the availability of sorafenib through an open-label, FDA-reviewed treatment protocol for eligible patients with advanced kidney cancer (Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Sorafenib study, or ARCCS).
Phase II efficacy trials are studying sorafenib as a single agent in advanced lung, breast, and other cancers.
Phase I/II clinical trials are investigating sorafenib in combination with a range of standard chemotherapeutics and other anticancer agents.
ISIS 5132 is another raf inhibitor that has shown acceptable toxicity in phase I studies. Phase II studies are now underway in a variety of cancer types.
MEK Inhibitors
CI-1040 is an oral, selective small-molecule inhibitor of MEK 1-2. Animal and culture studies have shown activity of this agent in breast cancer cell lines. Phase I studies have found mild gastrointestinal and skin side effects. Unfortunately, a phase II study in 67 patients with 4 different tumor types (advanced colorectal, NSCLC, breast, and pancreatic cancer) found no responses, although CI-1040 treatment was well tolerated.
PD 0325901, a second generation MEK inhibitor, has recently entered clinical development and appears to have noticeably better pharmacologic properties compared to CI-1040, which investigators hope may translate into better anti-cancer efficacy. It has shown some partial response in melanoma patients. The dose for phase II studies has not yet been determined.

SANTA CLARA — Colin Kaepernick, greater as a dual-threat quarterback or eligible bachelor?
On Wednesday inside the 49ers locker room, Kaepernick shook off a reporter's question about his personal life as it was an oncoming Green Bay Packers linebacker.
Rumored to be dating U.S. soccer team forward Sydney Leroux, Kaepernick was asked if that was true, and whether he saw her four-goal performance in Tuesday's 7-0 win over Mexico.
"Not my girlfriend," Kaepernick responded. "I didn't see the game. I was working."
Both Kaepernick and Leroux appeared this summer in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue. They follow each other on Twitter, and Leroux sent out a tweet to Kaepernick on Saturday as her alma mater, UCLA, was beating Kaepernick's, Nevada, in their football opener: "Hey @Kaepernick7 what's the score of that UCLA Nevada game?"
Here's another scoreboard: Kaepernick has nearly 339,000 Twitter followers; Leroux has over 108,000, including Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who'll be trying to sack Kaepernick in Sunday's season opener.
Each of Kaepernick's answers Wednesday about football could easily fit within Twitter's 140-character limits.
The one about Leroux hit the three-sentence high among all his 21 responses, matching this one about the Packers defense: "They do a lot of things well. They have a lot of great players. We have to be ready."
Asked to describe his feelings as a season-opening starter for the first time in his three-year career, Kaepernick simply replied: "You have to win."
The 49ers' best chance at winning this season might be to keep Kaepernick healthy. Although coach Jim Harbaugh has asked the league to clarify when quarterbacks lose their protection from hits on read-option plays.
"Before he's declared to being a runner, he should be afforded the protection that all quarterbacks are afforded, until he declares and gets out of the pocket and starts running with the ball or running an option or carrying out a bootleg and attempting to run or pass when he's outside of the pocket," Harbaugh said. "But while he's in the pocket, I believe he's a quarterback until he declares that he's a runner."
While Harbaugh referred to the rule as a "gray area," Matthews has said the Packers' strategy is to hit mobile quarterbacks, but within the confines of that rule.
"You're hearing a lot of tough talk right now," Harbaugh said. "You're hearing some intimidating type of talk -- kind of things same thing we were hearing a couple years ago."
Harbaugh likely was referring to the 2011 season's playoffs, when the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints made comments about injuring specific 49ers.
"It sounds a lot like targeting a specific player," Harbaugh said. "You definitely start to wonder. A man usually doesn't tell you his bad intentions. You know what's being said publicly, not what's being said privately. I hope their intent is not going to be anything that's not within the rules."
Kaepernick said he is not concerned.
"It's football. You're going to get hit," Kaepernick said.

Stanley Qi (UCSF)
Special Seminar
Stanley Qi
Dr. Stanley received his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley. He was a graduate student in Adam's Arkin's lab at UC Berkeley, where he studied the design principles of large-scale genetic circuitry programming with noncoding RNAs. He developed methods to synthetically generate large libraries of RNA regulatory elements based on in vitro, in vivo and in silico designs that can detect cellular or environmental signals and form complex regulatory networks for biocomputation and cellular information processing. As a Systems Biology Fellow at UCSF, Stanley is developing novel synthetic RNA-targeted technologies as a potentially superior alternative to RNA interference to interrogate the kinetic coordination of collections of multiple genes during development and pathogenicity. He is also applying synthetic biology principles to develop customizable remediable strategies by building therapeutically useful yet non-invasive genetic circuits to reliably detect and reverse disease states.

TRACY -- She is only 9 years old but she has a good start as an entrepreneur and a philanthropist.
Abigail Hickman is turning her love of competitive bowling into a fundraising opportunity for the Tracy Animal Shelter.
Abigail, a fourth-grader at St. Bernard's School, has put together a Pins for Pets event to raise money for supplies for the outdated shelter. For $10 per ticket, bowlers can take part in a 2 to 5 p.m. event on March 23 at West Valley Family Bowl.
"I really love to bowl," said Abigail, who competes in a traveling bowling league. "My high game is 175 and my average is 108. I hope people will donate a lot of food, toys and money for the animal shelter."
Abigail said her inspiration for the event came when her family adopted Sheldon, a kitten, from the shelter.
"I don't like the fact that they have to kill the animals if they don't have a space for them," she said. "We have a lot of animals at my house, my favorite is the guinea pig."
Abigail's help is greatly appreciated, said Beth Palacios, a Tracy animal control officer.
"We are thankful to have community support," she said. "We are especially proud that a youth, such as Abigail, is so compassionate."
So far, Abigail has raised $300 toward her goal of $1,500. In addition to money, she is also asking for food and toy supplies for the shelter.
"My husband (Matt) and I are so proud of her," said Sunee Hickman, Abigail's mom. "This is the first time she has ever tried to do something like this. Last Saturday, she walked around town handing out fliers about the event. She has put so much time and effort into this."
Along with the bowling, All in the Details is donating DJ service for the fundraiser. More than 40 businesses have donated prizes, ranging from gift cards to a gift package valued at $200 from "Umigo Indoor Kart Racing," to be raffled off at the fundraiser.
Tickets are on sale now at West Family Valley Bowl, 2365 East St. The $10 ticket includes shoe rental and three hours of bowling.

(I) False attribution of a conclusion to a reliable source: the Goebbels diary
1. On page 611 of Goebbels: Mastermind of the 'Third Reich', Irving claims that Goebbels later admitted he had been on the verge of a nervous breakdown during 9-10 November. In fact the diary entry cited by Irving, for 17 January 1939, makes no reference whatsoever to the events of 9-10 November. Rather, Goebbels was concerned with his mental state in January 1939. 'I am close to a nervous breakdown', he wrote, using the present tense.141 Goebbels at this time was deeply concerned with a serious crisis in his marriage, which was also undermining his political standing.142 This is clearly a deliberately false attribution of the conclusion that Goebbels was worried about the fact that (as Irving would have it) Hitler disapproved of his actions on 9-10 November to a source that refers to a different date and makes no mention of any disapproval by Hitler of anything Goebbels did at all.
