San Jose State's Travis Johnson earned Defensive Player of the Year honors as the Western Athletic Conference announced its all-conference teams and coach and players of the year awards as voted upon by the WAC's seven head coaches.
Louisiana Tech and San Jose State led the Western Athletic Conference with nine first-team All-WAC honorees each, while WAC champion Utah State placed eight on the first team.
Louisiana Tech's Colby Cameron was named the Offensive Player of the Year, and Louisiana Tech's Kenneth Dixon was named the Freshman of the Year. Utah State's Gary Andersen was voted the WAC's Coach of the Year.
Johnson, a senior defensive end from San Jose's The King's Academy, led the WAC in tackles for loss with 19 for 106 yards. He also led the WAC and is seventh nationally in sacks with 12 for a loss of 66 yards. Johnson became the WAC's all-time leader in sacks with 31 and is fourth all-time in tackles for loss with 46.5.
Six first-team All-WAC players were repeat selections from last year: including the Spartans' Johnson and tight end Ryan Otten.
Also earning first-team honors from San Jose State were wide receiver Noel Grigsby, offensive linemen Nicholas Kaspar and David Quessenberry, defensive lineman Travis Raciti, linebackers Vince Buhagiar and Keith Smith and defensive back Bené Benwikere.
San Jose State placed a WAC-high seven players on the second team, including quarterback David Fales.
Cal graduate Alex Morgan was named U.S. Soccer's female athlete of the year Monday while Santa Clara junior Julie Johnston was honored as young female athlete of the year.
Morgan, a rising star on the U.S. national team after helping lead the United States to a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, won the award in her first time on the ballot. She led the Americans with 28 goals, which was third-best all-time in a calendar year behind Abby Wambach (31 in 2004) and Michelle Akers (39 in 1991).
Morgan, 23, also has a team-leading 19 assists in 2012, the fourth-most in a single year. She still has three matches left on the Americans' fan tribute tour. Morgan is a candidate for FIFA's top individual award that will be announced Jan. 7.
Johnston edged her under-20 World Cup teammates Kealia Ohai of North Carolina and Illinois midfielder Vanessa DiBernardo. Johnston started all six games on the back line and earned the Bronze Ball as the tournament's third-best player, a rarity for a defender.

Requisitions and Acquisitions Co-chair Dorothy Harbin shared the following email and gave us permission to post it here as a query. You can contact Dorothy for Sharon's email address or post a response as a comment below to this.
Sharon, I just received this today. Will try to help ASAP. We have mutual ancestors – Sellers family.
My mother was a Sellers before she married my dad, Leonard Hays. I was not raised by her after he died in 1941, too many kids, pre-war days. My cousin and wife took me to raise. My name is Dorothy Hays Harbin, and I believe, we are distant cousins. We have several cousins in common.
Also, your Smithwick family was neighbors to my husband's family (Harbin) in 1920, Wood Co. Weird, huh?
Do you work? I will try to call you on Thursday, sometime. Where is Highland, TX. around Houston? I am still recovering from wrist and hand surgery, got to get off the computer and exercise it. TTYL Dorothy
P.S. Deason, you can list it in the newsletter, maybe someone else, can help with the Smithwick family.

The panel included Marten Mickos (former CEO of MySQL, now at Eucalyptus), Resham Sohoni (CEO of Seedcamp), Peter Robinett (Bubble Foundry) and Felix Petersen (Nokia).

Sustainability & Philanthropy
Sustainability & Philanthropy
A Generational Approach
We like to tell people that Kendall-Jackson takes a generational approach to farming the land and maintaining the environment. Our goal is to ensure that the land remains healthy and productive for the following generations to farm. Surely, the term generational approach may sound like a marketing slogan to some people, but the opposite is true.
Over the past 30 years our founder Jess Jackson and his family acquired some of the most desirable and dramatic vineyard land in California. His passion for the land was always clear and few things quenched his thirst like spending time in nature with his family.
Although Jess passed from this world in April 2011 (blog.kj.com/letter), we continue to see his dreams come true. His dream of maintaining the vitality of the land and our business for the next generation is a reality. His children are stepping to the forefront to help direct our company's future with their mother Barbara in charge. It's also very clear that Katie, Julia and Christopher are just as committed to being socially and environmentally responsible as their parents.
Being a family-owned business gives us the ability to make decisions focused on the long-term, rather than on quarterly stock market results. Managing our business from the vineyards to shipping our bottled wines, enables us to integrate sustainable practices into every stage of the art and science of winemaking.
While our investments and accomplishments put us on the leading edge, we believe sustainability is an ongoing journey. We continually search for ways to be better stewards of the land and the communities we share with our employees and neighbors. As a family-owned business, we take seriously our responsibility to create a healthy future that we can all savor.
What does Sustainability mean to you? That's often not an easy question to answer. Defining sustainability is complicated. It means different things to different people and opinions are rapidly evolving. Just think back to five years ago - most of us hadn't even heard the term yet.
Our attitudes have changed with all the new information we've been exposed to. We've learned a lot about how products are grown and produced can have big impacts on the environment, the people making the products and the communities where companies operate.
Sustainable, or green, products seem to be the latest trend, but they're only the tip of the iceberg. Fostering a truly sustainable world requires us to start beneath the surface and grow from there. We use the international standard to define sustainability:
"The planning and activity that takes into account the long-term maintenance and well-being of the environmental, social and economic demands of the world around us."
Our goal is to drive shared environmental, social and economic value for all us to enjoy now an in the future.

Perfect location for the carnaval! 100 meters from the beach, good to chill out there! The apartment is not big, but when you are in Rio, you are most of the time outside anyways!
Our group was extremely disappointed with our recent stay at this apartment during Rio Carnival, mostly due to the bad service from the agency.
Firstly they insist that you pay 100% up front, so when there were problems with the flat there was nothing we could do about it as they already had our money. Of the 3 bathrooms only 1 had working hot water, and it took them a full 4 days to send someone to come and fix it, who told us this was a known issue before we stayed! At the high rates we paid during carnival this is simply unacceptable. There was also a flooding incident in 1 of the bathrooms 1 evening which made us call the "client 24 hour emergency" number provided - only to be told that no plumber could be sent til the next day. What is the point of an emergency number if they can't respond to genuine emergencies?
Secondly they knew we had 9 people staying in the flat and told us that the sofa beds slept 2 people each however these were very small and as a result those staying there were very uncomfortable.
They then wanted to charge us for extra towels and linen for the guests staying on the sofa beds despite knowing from the beginning that we would have this many guests. There were also broken curtains in one of the bedrooms resulting in light flooding the room very early, which they also did not fix.
Next, they only provided us with 2 sets of keys amongst 9 people and it took a full 6 days (out of a 10 day stay) for them to come and drop off more keys, after multiple daily phone calls requesting they do so their answer was always "tomorrow".
For the price paid for this apartment there should have been cleaners sent in at least every 2 days however if you want cleaning this is considered an extra service and they charge you for this.
The apartment itself has a great location and lovely doorman but this is the only positive I have to say. I would never rent from this agency again - we felt ripped off. We feel that Wimdu as an intermediary should not release the money to the agency straight away to account for when there are multiple major issues such as we had, as there was then no leg to stand on to help us get any kind of refund.
The welcoming apartment that can only be a joke, after a long journey we had to drive the real estate, even with the amount paid in advance for 3 months, for a long bureaucratic process with bags in the street, where we were informed that transportation to the new apartment would be on our own. An official accompanied us and we went through an embarrassing inspection in the apartment that would be repeated in the output. The contract contained a clause which obliged us to pay the same outfit on a speck of makeup or even sweat, what caused a strain on the entire stay. The power circuit breaker falls every time the shower and the air conditioning are switched on simultaneously and we go to the reception building receive a key frame and trigger the light so old circuit breaker for ourselves. We were honored by a visit from a technician of cable TV company to change during our stay, long wait and all the inconveniences that should be discounted at least the rigorous schedule chek October The kitchen is equipped only enough for drinks and at most a quick breakfast, the balcony is impractical when chove.A information that the apartment is 250 meters from the beach of Copacabana is lying at least 600mts. An experience that will never repeat and not recommended.
O boas vindas nesse apartamento só pode ser uma piada,depois de uma longa viagem tivemos que nos direcionar a imobiliaria,mesmo com o valor pago com antecedencia de 3 meses, para um longo processo burocratico com malas no meio da rua,onde fomos informados que o novo transporte ao apartamento seria por nossa conta. Um funcionario nos acompanhou e passamos por uma constrangedora inspeçao no apartamento que seria repetida na saida. No contrato constava uma clausula onde nos obrigava pagar pelo enxoval mesmo sobre uma pequena mancha de maquiagem ou mesmo de suor,oque causou uma tensao na estadia toda. O dijuntor de força cai toda vez que o chuveiro e o ar condicionado sao ligados ao mesmo tempo e devemos ir a recepçao do predio receber uma chave do quadro de luz e acionar o tal velho dijuntor por nós mesmos. Fomos agraciados pela visita de um tecnico da TV a cabo para mudança de compania durante nossa estadia,longa espera e todos os inconvenientes que deveriam no minimo serem descontados do rigoroso horário de chek out. A cozinha é equipada só o suficiente para drinks e no máximo um café da manha rápido,a varanda é impraticavel quando chove.A informaçao que o apartamento fica a 250 mts da praia de Copacabana é mentirosa,no minimo 600mts. Uma experiencia que jamais repetiremos e nao recomendamos.
Great location, great layout of the apartment, good standard. We lived 8 people in the apartment and it was very comfortable. That fact that there was no door to close in the entramce to the patio felt however a bit uncomfortable.
The apartment was better than expected good. Everything you needed was there. Was 2 minutes from the beach, shops and public transport. View as described on the Copacabana. Staff of Heidelberg was friendly, english speaking and helpful.
Het appartement was boven verwachting goed te noemen. Alles was je nodig hebt was er. Was op 2 minuten van het strand, winkels en openbaar vervoer. Uitzicht zoals beschreven op de Copacabana. Personeel van Heidelberg was vriendelijk, engels spreken en behulpzaam.
Small but beautiful and practical apartment with a clean bathroom, a small kitchen and a beautiful view of Copacabana Beach, just steps from the beach. The beach location is very favorable Leme section, the environment is clean and completely safe, many supermarkets nearby, great connection direction downtown. The apartment is useful to those who want to use it not only for sleeping and has slightly higher claims, should book yourself another unit of mEn highly recommended agency Heidelberg. All in all, we (couple, 40 years) quite happy.
Kleines, aber feines und praktisches Appartement mit einem sauberen Badezimmer, einer kleinen Küche und schönem Blick auf die Copacabana, nur wenige Schritte vom Strand entfernt. Die Lage am Strandabschnitt Leme ist sehr vorteilhaft, die Umgebung ist sauber und absolut sicher, viele Supermärkte in unmittelbarer Nähe, klasse Anbindung richtung Innenstadt.
Das Appartement ist zweckmässig, wer es nicht nur zum Schlafen nutzen möchte und etwas höhere Ansprüche hat, sollte sich ein anderes Appartement der m.E.n. sehr empfehlenswerten Agentur Heidelberg buchen. Alles in Allem waren wir ( Paar, 40 J.) recht zufrieden.
I really liked the apartment! The only problem eque has ABSOLUTELY nothing. We had to buy detergent, sponge dishes, salt, etc ...
Gostei bastante do apartamento! O único problema éque não tem ABSOLUTAMENTE nada. Tivemos que comprar detergente, esponja de pratos, sal, etc...
Super value. Everything as described. Very nice staff. Recommended!
Super Preis-Leistung. Alles wie beschrieben. Sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Empfehlenswert!
I can recommend using Heidelberg Agency for your stay in Rio de Janeiro. Great location, fast responce.
Very central location. The 3.Zimmer is the former maid's room and is only accessible via the terrace. The mattresses are very durchgelegen.Bettwäsche there and towels are fresh and clean. The covers on the face but 3Sofas dirt! There are lots of ants throughout the apartment and there are also frequent nice big cockroaches to visit. The employees at the agency are friendly and cooperative.
Sehr zentrale Lage. Das 3.Zimmer ist das ehemaliges Dienstmädchenzimmer und ist nur über die Terasse erreichbar. Die Matratzen dort sind sehr durchgelegen.Bettwäsche und Handtücher sind frisch und sauber. Die Bezüge über den 3Sofas allerdings stehen vor Dreck! Es gibt sehr viele Ameisen im gesamten Apartment und es kommen auch häufiger schöne, große Kakerlaken zu Besuch. Die Mitarbeiter in der Agentur sind freundlich und kooperativ.

I have a few .avi files that look like they were encoded in Divx. Problem is that they dont play sound through the PSM but will play audio from the PC. The only difference between the PC and the PSM is that I have Klite Codec installed on my machine as well. Not sure if that affects the PSM or not.
Can anyone shed some light on what I might need to do to get audio working in these files instead of downloading copy after copy until I get one that works?

About the Book
It's Halloween in Emily Jenkins's Dangerous Pumpkins, the second title in the chapter-book series about a Brooklyn fourth grader and his invisible furry pal.
Hank Wolowitz hates Halloween. Every year his older sister, Nadia, scares him half to death. But Hank's invisible bandapat, Inkling, loves Halloween. Pumpkins are his favorite food. Hank has serious trouble stopping Inkling from devouring every jack-o'-lantern in their neighborhood, including the ones his sister carves. And that's not his only problem: Will he ever figure out a cool costume? Will he finally get to pick the holiday flavor in his family's ice-cream shop? Will Hank ever get revenge on Nadia?
Kids will love Hank and Inkling's latest adventure, illustrated by acclaimed artist Harry Bliss.
It's Halloween. Fourth grader Hank Wolowitz hates Halloween. Every year his older sister, Nadia, scares him half to death.
This year might be different, though. After all, Hank's the only kid in Brooklyn—probably the only kid in North America—with an invisible bandapat living in his laundry basket. And Invisible Inkling loves Halloween. Pumpkins are his favorite food.
But Hank has serious trouble stopping Inkling from devouring every jack-o'-lantern in their neighborhood. And that's not his only problem: Will he figure out a cool costume? Will he survive the small army of ballerinas roaming the hallways of his building? Will Hank ever get revenge on Nadia?
Inkling has long since stopped listening to Hank's worries.
Inkling is taking action.

National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods
|The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) provides impartial scientific advice to federal agencies to use in developing integrated food safety systems from farm to table and to ensure food safety in domestic and imported foods.
The NACMCF was established in 1988, under Departmental Regulation 1043-28, in response to the recommendations of two external organizations. The National Academy of Sciences recommended an interagency approach to microbiological criteria, since various federal, State, and local agencies are responsible for food safety. Also, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations made a similar recommendation in the Rural Development, Agriculture, and Related Agencies Appropriation Bill for fiscal year 1988.
The NACMCF provides scientific advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Committee covers public health issues relative to the safety and wholesomeness of the U.S. food supply, including development of microbiological criteria and review and evaluation of epidemiological and risk assessment data and methodologies for assessing microbiological hazards in foods.
The food safety programs of the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the U.S. Department of HHS Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are strengthened through NACMCF recommendations. The programs of other federal agencies concerned with food safety, including the Department of HHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Commerce, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the Department of Defense (DoD), Veterinary Services Activity also benefit from NACMCF work.
The NACMCF charter was approved on September 24, 2010.
The activities of the NACMCF are carried out, in part, by subcommittees that are focused on specific areas being considered by the full Committee. The NACMCF has made important contributions to a broad range of critical food safety issues. The NACMCF has developed reference documents emphasizing the role of regulatory agencies, industry, and consumers to control specific foodborne pathogens. The NACMCF was instrumental in formulating and standardizing the principles of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) systems. NACMCF reports provide current information and scientific advice to federal food safety agencies and serve as a foundation for regulations and programs aimed at reducing foodborne disease and enhancing public health.
Recently completed projects include the following final reports:

OAKLAND -- Perhaps the most stunning postponement of a game in Oakland A's history came almost out of nowhere Friday night when the 7:05 p.m. game against the Seattle Mariners was called off.
The infield, which hadn't been covered during overnight rains, was deemed unplayable by the A's, by the Mariners and by the umpires about 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the game.
It was the third postponement in seven days at the Coliseum, a facility legendary for getting games played. There hadn't been a Coliseum rainout since 1998 before this week, when the Bay Bridge game Saturday against the Giants and Tuesday's game with the Cleveland Indians were called off.
David Rinetti, the A's longtime director of stadium operations, said the decision not to cover the stadium's infield overnight Thursday was made after talking with a weather consultant the club uses. The belief was that not much rain was going to fall and that after a week of heavy rain the infield would be the better for not having the tarp on it.
But then the heavens opened up.
"The field had taken a significant hit all week," Rinetti said. "We had information last night that there was going to be a break in the storm. And because of that, we wanted to use that opportunity to help dry out the field. Unfortunately, we were wrong on the amount of rain. We got about one-third of an inch of rain.
"We got here this morning, and the infield was underwater. We did everything possible starting at 7 a.m. to get the field ready for tonight. Unfortunately, after we met with the managers and umpires, it was deemed that the field was not going to be ready to be played on."
There was some talk among the two sides about trying to get the field ready to play a doubleheader Saturday or Sunday, but ultimately the teams decided to make up the game later in the season. The Mariners come to town twice more, May 5-7 and Sept. 1-3.
General manager Billy Beane characterized the problem as an "unfortunate misinterpretation of the forecast."
The club didn't disclose the name of the person consulting on the weather forecast but said the club's head groundskeeper, Clay Wood, left off the tarp after getting the forecast.
The umpires, in the person of crew chief Fieldin Culbreth, said the A's had "a weather forecast that looked like it was going to be dry, then it rained, I guess significantly."
"At the end, (the field) was very soft," Culbreth said, "and probably just not playable for the standards of not only the game itself but for the health of the people who were going to be on the field."
A's reliever Sean Doolittle summed up the day as "ridiculous." Outfielder Sam Fuld called it "the weirdest thing ever."
A's bench coach Chip Hale said he'd been through something similar in the minor leagues when his Triple-A Tucson team lost three games to an untarped field. But Tucson was on the road "when a monsoon hit," Hale said, not at home as the A's are.
A's manager Bob Melvin said the postponement would push back Friday's scheduled starting pitcher, Dan Straily, to Saturday. On Friday, his opponent was supposed to be Chris Young. On Saturday, he draws Mariners ace Felix Hernandez.
King Felix took the postponement in stride, saying he was "prepared to pitch tomorrow. That happens."
Presuming the grounds crew can get the field ready, that is. Rinetti and club president Mike Crowley walked the infield long after the announcement of the postponement was made, looking to see what needed to be done.
"We are doing everything possible to have the game be played tomorrow," Rinetti said.
That won't be of much consolation to the fans who were in their seats waiting for the game to start when the announcement of the postponement was made.
The booing was full of attitude.

The torn families and friends of a couple killed last week in Menlo Park while walking their dog, and of the woman accused of driving drunk when she ran them over, showed up in court Monday for an arraignment that didn't happen.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Karesh announced that the suspect -- 54-year-old Marjorie Reitzell of Redwood City -- couldn't make it out of the jail's medical ward, then rescheduled the arraignment for today.
Reitzell faces two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and two counts of felony drunken driving, according to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe. He said she was convicted last November of drunken driving in Menlo Park and was on probation for that offense when she fatally struck Kamal Singh, 45, and Balbir Singh, 50.
The Singhs were walking their dog within the bike lane on Chilco Street just west of Constitution Drive when they were hit from behind by Reitzell shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday, according to Menlo Park police.
After Monday's short court proceeding, Ronald Reitzell told reporters that his younger sister is bipolar, has received psychiatric care and was trying to stay sober.
"She had a mental breakdown," he said. "I don't know what triggered it."
Reitzell said he visited his sister at the county jail on Sunday and she told him she didn't remember being in an accident.
"I told her to ask God for forgiveness," Ronald Reitzell said.
He also told reporters that he wished the public would stop talking about his sister as though she was an "animal." He said Marjorie Reitzell has an adult daughter -- who also attended Monday's proceeding -- and two grandchildren.
The Singhs' family members walked quickly and quietly out of the courtroom and did not speak to the throng of reporters waiting in the hallway.
Later, at the family's home on Modoc Avenue, Balbir Singh's brother Arvind Singh said "the whole family is trying to comfort each other" and give special attention to the couple's three teenage children -- two daughters who are 18 and 17, and a son who is 15.
Starting today, a three-day nonstop prayer ritual will be held for his brother and sister-in-law and attended by family at the Gurdwara Sahib Hayward Sikh temple in Hayward, Arvind Singh said, "to pray for peace for the couple."
The couple's funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday at the Chapel of Chimes in Hayward.
After striking the Singhs from behind, Marjorie Reitzell continued east on Chilco Street until her vehicle hit the center median and landed in the westbound lane, where she hit another vehicle before crashing into a tree, according to Menlo Park police.
The four teenagers in the other vehicle were not injured, Wagstaffe said.
Reitzell was taken to Stanford Medical Center for treatment and subsequently booked into jail, where she is being held on $2 million bail.
Court records show she has had several run-ins with the law over the years. She was also sued by Capital One Bank in December 2007 for an unpaid credit debt. In her Feb. 22, 2008, response to the financial institution's complaint, Reitzell wrote that she would pay Capital One back but noted that "I have been in drug recovery program and was not employed since 2004. I've only been working for 6 mos. and I'm trying to get my life back on track."
Arvind Singh didn't say how long he believes Reitzell should remain behind bars, but added that he sees no reason for leniency, because her actions resulted in the loss of two loved ones and pain for their children and extended family.
"She should never be forgiven for that," Singh said.
