WASHINGTON (January 2, 2012)—U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was released Wednesday from the New York hospital where she was treated for a blood clot in her head.
Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines said her doctors advised her she has been making progress on all fronts and are confident she will make a full recovery.
He said Clinton is appreciative of the excellent care she received at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and is eager to get back to work, but a date for her return to the State Department has not been set.
Clinton had been in the hospital since Sunday, where she was being treated with blood thinners to dissolve the clot.
Doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam stemming from a concussion she suffered earlier in December.

Saturday, August 10, 2013
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons gave running back Steven Jackson a three-year, $12 million contract in the offseason to firm up a soft spot in their offense.
After one preseason game, questions remain about the running game.
Jackson carried five times for just 8 yards and the Falcons rushed for 92 overall in Thursday's 34-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Atlanta's offensive line also played a key role.
Peter Konz, a second-year pro, has replaced retired 13-year veteran Todd McClure at center, and the search for a right tackle continues after Atlanta released Tyson Clabo last winter.
Michael Johnson was scheduled to be at that spot, but he was lost for the season last week when he dislocated his left ankle and fractured his fibula.

Bestselling Author Gillian Flynn Joins Hogarth Shakespeare
Ask a crime writer to sum up what's great about "Hamlet," and you'll likely get a laundry list of dark and creepy themes.
"Murder, betrayal, revenge, deceit, madness — all my favorite things," Gillian Flynn said in a statement released by the imprint Hogarth, which announced today that it will publish Ms. Flynn's novelization of Hamlet.
Ms. Flynn is the latest author to tackle the Bard's work as part of Hogarth Shakespeare, a new series of novels that pairs high-profile authors with Shakespearean dramas. Her novel "Gone Girl," a thriller about a toxic marriage tainted by manipulation and lies, has sold some 6.5 million copies globally and is being released this fall as a film starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
Ms. Flynn said that she immediately chose Hamlet when the publisher approached her about contributing to the series. "It matches well with the kind of story lines I like, big, dramatic, overarching family dramas," she said in a telephone interview. "The murder, the soul searching that's involved, the revenge. I'm always fascinated with domestic malice, and it certainly has all that."
The series, which will launch in 2016 in time for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, has attracted an all-star roster of literary and genre writers. Margaret Atwood is retelling the surreal fantasy "The Tempest." Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbø, who's famous for his hard-drinking detective Harry Hole, is taking a stab at reworking the bloody tragedy "Macbeth." Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Anne Tyler is reimagining "The Taming of the Shrew." Howard Jacobson, the Booker Prize winning author of "The Finkler Question" and other novels that grapple with Jewish identity, chose "The Merchant of Venice." The British novelist Jeanette Winterson is reworking "The Winter's Tale," a dark comedy and romance that's full of mistaken identities and twisted family dynamics. And the historical novelist Tracy Chevalier, author of "Girl With a Pearl Earring," is writing a novelization of "Othello."
"Rewriting Shakespeare is not for the faint of heart," said Molly Stern, senior vice president and publisher of Crown, a publishing group that includes the Hogarth imprint. "One of the challenges is to publish these books as individually and uniquely as possible," she said. "We're really invested in getting the right authors to do the right plays."
The Shakespeare series is being led by Hogarth UK, and the titles will be released simultaneously in the North America, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and India.
Ms. Flynn said she hasn't decided yet how she'll rewrite Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, but noted that she anticipates a larger role for the doomed Ophelia. "I've always been fascinated by Ophelia and what her story actually is," she said.
One thing is a given, if Ms. Flynn is faithful to the spirit of the play. There will be a pile of bloody bodies at the end.

Carroll County commissioner asks peer to resign over letter to the editor
The most recent conflict between the commissioners resulted from their reactions to former county employee Loreen Larochelle who was convicted of stealing nearly $11,000 from the county. In a letter to the editor of the Carroll County Independent, printed June 27, Kenney wrote that Larochelle's crime illustrates why "the county needs 9 to 5 adult supervision over its employees."

FC Koln (2002-2004, 2006-2009, 2009-2012). He has also been a consistent force for the German national teams since his days as a U-17 player, beginning in 2001.
Whether watching the Gunners kicking it live at Emirates Stadium or catching the action on TV, we are Gooners through and through.

The red jersey has the traditional look with white sleeves. New for 2012, Arsenal's home jersey has a blue crewneck collar and blue details on the cuffs. The white sleeves and blue details pay tribute to the kits Arsenal wore in the 1930s under legendary manager Herbert Chapman. There is also a detail on the back collar that honors Chapman's revolutionary WM formation and Arsenal's motto Victoria, Concordia, Crescit, which means Victory through Harmony.

Festival organizers are gearing up for a good turnout at the second annual Summit of Bluegrass and Brews Saturday in Dillon with headliner David Grisman and the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience expected to draw big crowds. The festivities kick off at 1 p.m. with the brew fest featuring unlimited tasting of craft suds from more than 25 Colorado microbreweries and live music by Marty Jones and the Great Unknowns, followed by Missed the Boat at 5:30 p.m. and David Grisman and the DGBX at 7:30 p.m. that evening at the Dillon Amphitheatre.
Craft beer aficionados will appreciate the lineup of brewers, which includes local Summit County breweries and canned microbrew trendsetter Oskar Blues from Lyons among other members of the Colorado Brewers Guild. Food vendors will also be on hand to offer a variety of meal options. Tickets are $30 for unlimited beer tasting at the event, which runs from 1 to 5 p.m. in Marina Park.
To support the daytime drinking, the "Bard of Beer Songs" and Westword Music Showcase repeat-nominee Marty Jones returns for a second year with the Great Unknowns to belt out "good time anthems and cry-in-your-craft-beer numbers" at 3 p.m. with a sound described as blending hillbilly bop, early country, rock and back porch blues.
After the beer tents close at 5 p.m. the party moves to the Dillon Amphitheatre, where the Steamboat-based Missed the Boat opens the night of free open-air concerts with their high energy "jam rockin' dancegrass" featuring acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjolin, electric bass, drums and harmonica.
Then at 7:30 p.m. the national sensation David "Dawg" Grisman takes the stage with his bluegrass band the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience. The renowned mandolinist, vocalist and composer hails from a storied past, having shared the stage with the likes of Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, Bonnie Raitt, Doc Watson and Bela Fleck among others over a career spanning more than four decades. In 1976, he started the David Grisman Quintet, whose "Dawg-style" mix of jazz-influenced bluegrass, folk and international sounds became a major influence on the "newgrass" movement. In 1990, he founded the independent record label, Acoustic Disc, which in the past 20 years has released more than 75 CD's, including six with Jerry Garcia.
"The second generation of bluegrass musicians, including David Grisman and his peers ... are getting into their 60's now, so there are precious few opportunities to see those guys," said Mike O' Brien of Peak Performances, who booked the act. "The third generation ... has learned from them in the same way that those guys learned from Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs, the people who literally started the genre. There's a thread that runs from Bill Monroe to the present, even though it has evolved over the course of 50 years to include other genres - to the point that now there are subgenres of bluegrass."
Though the innovative DGQ has played Summit County before - once in 1999 and again in 2001 - this will be the first time Grisman's hand-picked new bluegrass group makes an appearance, transporting listeners back to the roots of the genre. Other DGBX members include Keith Little on 5-string banjo, guitar and vocals; Jim Nunally on guitar and vocals; Chad Manning on fiddle and Grisman's son Samson on bass.
"The event is to benefit the Colorado Brewers Guild, which does a lot of nonprofit work and legislation to protect the rights of our Colorado independent brewers, so we wanted to blow it up this year," said event director Molly Speer. With Grisman as the headlining act, it's bound to do exactly that.
For those still going strong after the Grisman show, check out the musical stylings of John Truscelli at the Pug Ryan's after party. The Summit of Bluegrass and Brews is put on by the Dillon Business Association.

Just Like Them
This is a guest post by Nora Rubovitz, Autism Speaks Family Services Project Manager, and Ali Hines, Family Services Associate Manager of Communications.
A few months ago, the Family Services team received a call from a fourth grade teacher at PS 7 in Brooklyn. Through a "Penny Harvest," her class had raised $900, $300 of which they decided as a group to donate to Autism Speaks. Last Tuesday, we traveled out to Brooklyn to visit their classroom and accept their generous donation in person.
"This is Nora and Ali from Autism Speaks!" Mrs. Pavane announced to the 100+ students in the auditorium. A little girl in the class walked up to the microphone to announce that she had helped her class choose Autism Speaks because her older brother is on the autism spectrum, and it would mean a lot to her family. We walked up and thanked her very much for thinking of us and sharing information about autism with her class.
"Does anyone know what autism is?" we asked at first. We got little to no response. We didn't think reciting the DSM-IV criteria would really captivate the fourth grade crowd, so we decided to read the story "Since We're Friends" so they could understand a bit about the issues faced by children with autism. The book conveyed to our audience that children with autism are just like them; they are fun and wonderful friends who might sometimes need a little bit of support. Much to our surprise, given our recollection of our attention spans at that age, the class seemed fascinated by the story. A boy and his friend with autism were swimming, playing baseball, running around and having fun! The only difference was the few times the boy needed to push his friend a little to make sure he was comfortable and calm. Through reading the story, what may have first sounded to them like a scary disease now came across as something that affects lots of kids. Kids just like them, who they can help, simply by being their friend.
By far the highlight of their morning came next. We decided to play a video filled with pictures and facts to help the class to see a little more about autism. We figured the shorter the video the better for this age group, so we chose a two-minute video often used at Autism Speaks events. We know the kids loved the pictures and were intrigued by the facts displayed, but we could really see their enthusiasm based on the loud claps and high voices coming from the audience while Alicia Keys "No One" played in the background of the video. They were up on their feet singing every word while watching our video. We think Mrs. Pavane learned during our video that all she needed was a little Alicia Keys playing in her math class to really get the group going during multiplication lessons!
At the end of the presentation, we took questions from the group. Hands flew up immediately when Mrs. Pavane asked who would like to ask us something about autism. Is autism contagious? Can you only get it when you're a little kid? How can I help someone with autism? We were floored by how interested this group of 10-year-olds was in learning more about autism, and how much they wanted to help. We handed out Autism Speaks awareness bracelets, and smiled as the kids walked out wearing their puzzle pieces with pride, armed with a new understanding of autism. One young boy held back from the group as they walked out, and turned to us with a dollar bill: "Here is one dollar for autism." That, in itself, proved what a wonderful morning it had been. All it took was a simple story and a music video to teach a group of 100 4th graders about autism, and to inspire them to help make a difference in the lives of kids with autism. Kids who are just like them.

For a long time, HIV was believed to be a white, gay man's disease, with women accounting for a mere 7 percent of new HIV diagnoses in 1985. HIV is now a serious issue for women. Women account for almost 30 percent of new diagnoses, and HIV is the number one killer of African-American women ages 25-34. Let's make sure that HIV among women is a topic that gets the seriousness it's due.
A Timeline of Women Living With HIV: A Small but Growing Chorus in the 1980s
From Sandra Ford, a drug technician who published the first reports of AIDS, to Elizabeth Glaser, a pioneer of HIV/AIDS activism, women played crucial roles -- though they were often also devastatingly mistreated -- during the early years of the HIV pandemic. Check out all three parts of this timeline, each one a snapshot of an era in HIV/AIDS history.
This Positive Life: Cecilia Chung on Violence, Gender, Prisons, Family and Healing (Video)
It was 1993 when Cecilia Chung was diagnosed with HIV while living in San Francisco. Born Catholic, she thought she was being punished for coming out as transgender. "You transitioned," she remembers thinking. "This is God's way of telling you he doesn't approve."
Who's Looking Into PrEP for Women?
Much of the recent buzz about pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP -- HIV meds an HIV-negative person can take to prevent HIV -- has focused on gay men. So, what is going on in the realm of PrEP for women? Valery Hughes, longtime HIV/AIDS nurse practitioner, has some answers.
This Positive Life: Marcia Finds Permanent Self-Love in a Temporary World
Women, we're nurturers by nature. And so when we're sick we put it on the back burner to take care of other people. We were infected with HIV, but we were taking care of our loved ones, and the majority of them are males who were infected," says Monique Howard, Executive Director of New Jersey Women and AIDS Network.

Late Middle English (denoting the point on the ecliptic reached by the sun at the solstice): via Latin from Greek tropikos, from tropē 'turning', from trepein 'to turn'.
trophy from Late Middle English:
Both tropic (Late Middle English) and trophy are ultimately from Greek trepein 'to turn'. In ancient Greece and Rome a trophy was a pile of the weapons of a defeated army set up as a memorial of a victory. The attractive young trophy wife of a successful older man, is a term first used in the late 1980s. A tropic is a 'turning point', a point on the path through the sky that the sun can be seen to take through the year where, at the solstice, it appears to turn back again towards the equator.

Valley News decries effort by lawmakers to attract gun manufacturing jobs to NH
In New Hampshire, by contrast, the slaughter of innocents in Newtown is seen by a group of conservative legislators not as grounds for increased gun restrictions but as a potential economic development tool. That is, they think tougher gun control measures enacted in other states could be used to lure disgruntled firearms manufacturers here.

News12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday Jan. 4, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- "It feels pretty good."
That's how newly-elected Mayor Pro Tem Corey Johnson says he feels about his new job. One of his priorities, he says, will be bringing life back to downtown Augusta.
"Downtown is the heartbeat. Any time you visit any city, people want to go to their downtown and see exactly what's happening. So, I thought it was great way to kind of look at the future of Augusta and what we need to focus on to try to build up our inner city and downtown," Johnson said.
Johnson isn't the only one hoping that downtown picks back up.
Jonathan Beaver, who opened the Downtown Saloon last November, wants the leaders of Augusta to be more involved on the economics side, and more importantly, he wants their help with making customers feel safe.
"We had an issue a couple of months ago. We had some guys hanging out front, threatening customers. We had to call the cops and it probably took them about 30 minutes to get out here," Beaver said.
Johnson says while he doesn't have direct control of the deputies, he is ready to partner up with the new sheriff and explore the idea of bringing a precinct downtown.
"Its a place for it here. I think it's something that will also give the downtown merchants an opportunity to have day-to-day interaction with the force or precinct here," Johnson said.
More police presence is one thing that Beaver says will help him and the area.
"Downtown is the heart of Augusta. The more business down here, the more the revenue the county will make," he said.
And Johnson agrees.
"A lot of people don't know this, but we're losing an average of $875,000 annually or more for each empty storefront," Johnson said.

New Rules Help Borrowers Cover Refi Costs
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will begin allowing mortgage lenders to kick in up to $2,000 for borrowers seeking to refinance their home mortgage under a government program for homeowners with little or no home equity.
The changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program, which were announced to lenders last week, might help encourage more refinancing by underwater homeowners who have been reluctant to pay loan-origination fees or closing costs that can amount to thousands of dollars.
Depending on investor demand for certain mortgages that are pooled in securities, lenders can sometimes generate hefty margins that allow them to pay closing costs or other expenses traditionally paid by borrowers.
The latest guidance spells out how banks, on a HARP loan, can use that money to pay down mortgage balances for borrowers in an environment that has seen above-average gain-on-sale margins. The current rate environment has made it possible for lenders to offer more generous rebates to borrowers, depending on how mortgage-backed securities trade on a given day.
Last week's announcement, "simply provides a clarification to lenders on benefits that can be passed back to borrowers on a HARP refinance," said Meg Burns, a senior policy director for the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates Fannie and Freddie. The companies hadn't previously outlined specific guidance for lenders about what incentives had been allowed under HARP, in part because it hadn't been raised by lenders.
So far, nearly 1.8 million homeowners have refinanced under the HARP program. Around 800,000 of those refinances happened between January and October last year, double the volume of 2011, after the companies and their regulator eliminated a series of restrictions that had hamstrung the program. The program has been particularly successful reaching borrowers who owe more than their homes are worth: Nearly 340,000 borrowers refinanced in that January to October period despite having a loan that was at least 105% of the value of their home, up from fewer than 60,000 such borrowers in 2011.
A study by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concluded last year that some banks were charging more to underwater HARP borrowers because they had fewer lenders that were willing to refinance those loans. Banks, for their part, have said that spreads have been higher on those loans because those loans are riskier, and because those borrowers may only refinance if they don't have to pay for closing costs, which lenders can cover by giving the borrower a higher rate.

Earlier this week I gave a hint at some exciting news around my house that was making not only me happy but also my dogs. Vickie wondered whether a new cat had moved in next door (she was awarded the prize for the most interesting guess, btw)
My news is absolutely HUGE….. to me. You probably won't have any trouble dialing it down a bit when you read about it, because – well, it IS only my ability to take the dogs for a walk…a 2 mile walk; by myself!!
Yes, after over four months of living in a bad scene from the movie Groundhog Day, I can finally say that I am making great strides in my recovery. Strides. Get it? (Yes, I know it's corny, but I'm high on life right now so let's pretend that was funny).
It's been over a month since I tried walking the dogs by myself. The last time I ended up with a terribly swollen abdomen and incision pain for days afterward. What a difference a month can make!
So, to commemorate this next chapter in my life – the one where I begin the slow journey back to that physically strong woman I vaguely remember, I leave you with some photos that I took on what I'm now appropriately referring to as 'The Best Walk EVER'.
The official Start of our walk together:
Some beautiful foliage along the way:
We came to one of Brulee and Emmie's favorite holes. I don't know what lives under that uprooted tree, but the dogs always, without fail, pay a visit.
This photo came out a bit fuzzy because Emmie was getting frustrated that we were stopping to take so many photos and she jiggled the camera a bit. Still, look at those colors!
And finally, on our way back to the car. Is it any wonder why I'm painting nothing but trees right now?
Being able to take my dogs for a walk is a goal that I've been waiting to achieve since the beginning of summer. Being able to actually do it and suffer no consequence makes me feel like my body starting to forgive me for allowing this surgery.
I've been so inspired by my progress and the colors of the trees lately, that I've begun a series of inspirational quote paintings. Here is one I finished earlier this week:
It reads:
"I am still standing. Through wind, rain or drought. I am rooted, still."
And that about sums things up right now.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

This is a sampling of The Education Report, Katy Murphy's Oakland schools blog. Read more at IBABuzz.com/education. Follow her at Twitter.com/katymurphy.
Nov. 1
On the 20th day of school, Oakland's district schools counted about 36,260 students. That's 1,750 fewer kids than there were a year ago -- a drop of 4.6 percent, according to 2012-13 enrollment figures recently released by Oakland Unified School District.
Multiply that loss by $5,000, a rough estimate of general-purpose, per-student state funding (otherwise known as the revenue limit), and you're approaching $9 million. OUSD will have that much less to spend in 2013-14, in addition to any statewide trigger cuts and reduced special-purpose money, according to that crude calculation.
What's more, this year's drop follows several years of relatively flat enrollment. The school system experienced a crippling loss of students in the early to mid-2000s, a major factor in its infamous fiscal meltdown, but the trend began to level out a few years ago.
The two most apparent factors influencing this sudden development are last year's school closures and this year's charter school openings -- though as I've reported, Oakland's school-age population (5-17) dwindled by 20 percent between 2000 and 2010.
Charter schools
Six new charter schools opened in Oakland this fall, including three schools that left the district, taking many of their students with them -- in one case, because it was being closed. Enrollment at the new schools adds up to 1,600, bringing the number of children attending an Oakland charter school to 12,500, according to data from the district's Office of Charter Schools (whose coordinator, Gail Greely, took a job at the Alameda County Office of Education as of this past Monday).
The enrollments of the three schools that left OUSD -- ASCEND, Learning Without Limits and Lazear -- account for about 1,100 of those students.
Sometimes charters draw students from outside the city, or those who'd otherwise go to a private school or a public school in a nearby district. Of course, even if we knew that every one of the 1,600 students at the new charter schools would otherwise have enrolled in OUSD, it still wouldn't explain the entire 1,750 enrollment drop.
School closures: By now, I'm pretty sure the district knows how many of the students enrolled in grades K-4 last year at Lakeview, Lazear, Maxwell Park, Marshall and Santa Fe went on to attend another OUSD school, and how many didn't. I've asked for that information, but so far, no luck. I'm told a full analysis and accounting is being prepared for a December meeting, but I don't see why the question can't be answered earlier.
OUSD still has far more students than once projected. I dug up a report from June 2007: The school district was expected to have only 32,000 students by 2012.
There's much to be analyzed in all these numbers, in terms of what's happening, why, and how the changes are affecting schools. What do you think this will mean for OUSD?
Oct. 30
This week's campaign filings show another major donation to the political action committee for the Great Oakland Public Schools coalition -- $49,995 from the California Charter Schools Association. That brings the group's fundraising total to $184,980. GO Public Schools is supporting three candidates in Tuesday's nonpartisan school board elections: Jumoke Hinton Hodge in District 3, Rosie Torres in District 5, and James Harris in District 7. It's supporting neither candidate in District 1.
In a letter he posted on an Oakland parents email list, GO's director, Jonathan Klein, responded to some of the concerns that have been circulating about the PAC's biggest contributors, including the San Francisco-based venture capitalist Arthur Rock. Klein stressed that the coalition is in favor of both charter and traditional public schools, that its staff and board members are Democrats, and that the group is being supported by volunteers from across the city.
He wrote, "We are Oakland parents, teachers, and community members who want to see our public schools thrive."
What do you make of this latest contribution? Given that one in every four children who attends a public school in Oakland goes to an independently run charter school, do you feel it's time for the board to embrace this option -- or do what it can to hold the line against their continued expansion?

Reward Your Resolution
We're almost midway through the first month of the new year, and if you're like the majority of resolution makers, you're likely already starting to falter. According to a recent New York Times article, "By the end of January, a third will have broken their resolutions, and by July more than half will have lapsed."
That's why now is a great time to recommit to those oh-so-noble goals. Two ways to do that? Checking in with your resolutions often and rewarding yourself for your progress. Sure, losing weight, saving money and getting more sleep are their own rewards, but a little extra motivation never hurt, right?

SAN FRANCISCO -- Gregor Blanco delivered the biggest hit of the night Thursday, but the description of it remains a mystery.
A bunt single that should have been a sacrifice? A sacrifice that somehow became a single?
Call it unintentionally effective.
Blanco's seventh-inning roller hugged the third-base line and came to rest in fair territory as three Detroit Tigers stood around it in disbelief. It loaded the bases in a scoreless game, and Brandon Crawford followed with a double-play grounder that scored Hunter Pence for the only run the Giants needed in a 2-0 Game 2 victory at AT&T Park.
"That was unbelievable," Blanco said afterward. "As soon as I bunted, I was like, 'Oh my God, it's gonna go foul.' And then the ball just stayed there."
It was more proof that the Giants are leading a charmed postseason life.
They twice have been helped by a baseball randomly striking a base. Angel Pagan's double in Game 1 ricocheted off third base to avoid the Tigers' grasp. In the National League Championship Series, Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn fired an errant throw to second base that hit the bag and aided a Giants' rally.
"For sure," Blanco said when asked if things are simply going the Giants' way. "That's why baseball is so hard. This game is about having luck. You can hit a line drive 10 times to center field and go 0 for 10. You always have to have luck. That's what we have right now."
The Giants have something else very important -- Blanco's defense in left field.
He again came up with a big play, starting a 7-4-2 putout at home plate in the second as Detroit's Prince Fielder tried to score from first on Delmon Young's double.
Blanco had two cutoff men in his sight after fielding the ball -- shortstop Brandon Crawford and second baseman Marco Scutaro. He overthrew Crawford, but it went perfectly to Scutaro, who fired home, and catcher Buster Posey applied the tag.
"I don't know what Scutaro was doing there," Blanco said with a smile.
But Blanco's fine glove work is no accident.
In Game 1, he robbed Fielder and Miguel Cabrera with diving catches on sinking line drives. He also helped snuff a St. Louis rally in Game 7 of the NLCS with a running catch in the gap.
"Unbelievable," Pagan said of Blanco's defense. "I know what he means to this club. His glove has been outstanding for us."
Blanco's other base hit Thursday also drew attention.
He lined a ball up the middle in the second that glanced off the head of Tigers starter Doug Fister. Fister didn't even appear shaken up and stayed in the game. Blanco said he wasn't aware it hit Fister's head until he saw replays.
"I didn't know," Blanco said. "But I hope he's OK. It seems he's OK."
Everything, it seems, is turning out OK for the Giants.

A West Augusta man crashes a truck into his house and sets the vehicle and himself on fire. It all happened on Pickerel Road, right near Westside High. Richmond County investigators say Michael Lee Raper is charged with aggravated assault among several others.
Deputies block off the area where Michael Lee Raper crashed a truck into his home, and his neighbor Erica Bracey saw the whole thing.
"The lady was outside, she was like, come in the house baby, and he didn't pay her no mind and slammed into the house," Bracey said.
The dispute was over the title to the truck. He wanted it in his name, his wife refused, so he threatened to burn the house down.
He was not home when police arrived on the scene. As they were talking to Maria Raper, he showed up and smashed into her parked car. Another witness recalls the deputy on the scene fired at Michael Lee Raper's tire to try and stop him before he could do any more damage.
"I was sitting in my house and heard gunshots, so I drew my pistol and went out back and saw a guy in a truck run into his house and after his wife," the witness said.
Investigators say before the tires deflated, Raper drove around his street once and then crashed into the front of his house.
"The driver gets out, pours ignitable fluid on the engine, and it sets the vehicle and the man on fire," said one investigator on the scene.
It was a traumatic experience for his neighbors who watched as he went up in flames. When Raper struck his wife's parked car, the deputy on the scene was hit. He is okay and was immediately back on the job.
Michael Lee Raper is at Doctors Hospital being treated for his second and third degree burns. His wife is also at a local hospital.

Gregory Scott Gavin was sentenced to 12 years in prison Thursday for the brutal murder of local forest-dweller Karl Kohler at his Peak 9 campsite in May.
Gavin struck a plea deal with the district attorney's office agreeing to make a statement revealing the details of the crime in exchange for a reduced charge and a maximum sentence of a dozen years in prison.
The 50-year-old local, who also made his home in the forest prior to his arrest, was quiet and subdued in court Thursday, taking a moment to control his emotions before making a short, remorseful statement.
"I didn't want this to happen," Gavin said. "I want to say to the Kohler family and his friends, I'm sorry for what I've done."
He pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree murder, heat of passion in September, after admitting to beating Kohler to death with a baseball bat when he arrived at Gavin's campsite unannounced in the early hours of the morning.
There had reportedly been a history of hostility between Gavin and Kohler. Witnesses reported altercations between the two, and Kohler threatening to kill Gavin on at least one occasion prior to his death, public defender Dale McPhetres said in court Thursday.
But Kohler's parents, brothers and friends said they didn't believe Kohler had been the aggressor and some railed against a sentence they said was too light for the crime.
"It is in the most importance sense, there can be no justice for Karl because nothing the court or the defendant does can make Karl or those who loved him whole," Kohler's brother Ralph stated in a letter to the court read by District Attorney Mark Hurlbert. "When I thought Karl's death was the result of an argument that got out of hand, I thought that while 12 years of a person's life was a significant price, it seemed like a price that was in no way fair to Karl."
Some members of Kohler's family hurled accusations at prosecutors, implying the plea deal and maximum 12-year sentence were related to the state's reluctance to spend money prosecuting the murder of a homeless man.
"I feel 12 years is little to pay for committing first-degree murder," Kohler's brother Troy LaBerge told the court. "It does not matter where Karl lived or what his social status was."
But Hurlbert said the plea deal was necessary to getting the real story about what happened between Gavin and Kohler the night of Kohler's death. Little was known about the incident before Gavin made a full statement to Summit County law enforcement as part of the deal.
"In a plea bargain you have to give something to get something," Hurlbert said. "What we were looking for was the truth. That's why we made the plea bargain. It had nothing to do with saving the state money. We were prepared to go to trial. It had absolutely nothing to do with Karl's status as a transient."
Gavin's statement has not been released to the public.
Statements made in court indicated the crime may have occurred after an argument between the two men over money escalated.
Volunteers participating in town Clean Up Day discovered Kohler's body near the Burro Trail Trailhead in May at what was later determined to be Gavin's campsite. Gavin was arrested a few weeks later.
His sentence will include five years probation in addition to the prison sentence.
Kohler, 45, had lived in Summit County for approximately 10 years, making his permanent home in the woods. Friends remembered him as intelligent and artistic, but said he had lived a hard life.

Oregon running back Kenjon Barner, safety John Boyett and Oregon State cornerback Jordan Poyer were selected Saturday on the final day of the NFL draft.
Barner was taken in the sixth round with the 182nd pick overall by the Carolina Panthers. Barner, who will join former Duck Jonathan Stewart on the Panthers roster, rushed for 1,767 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior last season.
Boyett was chosen in the sixth round with the 192nd pick by the Indianapolis Colts. He played three seasons with the Ducks but missed all but one game last season after undergoing knee surgery.
Poyer was taken 218th overall in the seventh round by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Astoria native was the first Beaver to become a consensus All-American since 1967. In 24 games as a starter with Oregon State, Poyer amassed 151 tackles, three sacks, 13 interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
Overall, the Ducks had five players drafted, with Dion Jordan (third overall), Kyle Long (20th) and Kiko Alonso (46th) being taken in the first two rounds. Poyer was the second Oregon State player, with Markus Wheaton going 79th overall on Friday.

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
Madison, Wis. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Organ Transplantation Breakthrough Collaborative recently recognized St. Mary's Hospital and UW Hospital and Clinics with a National Medal of Honor for their work to improve organ donation rates in Wisconsin. The two are among 675 hospitals in the country and 13 others in Wisconsin who received this national honor.
St. Mary's will be kicking off the local celebration on Thursday, November 18th at 1:15pm in the hospital's atrium. The event will begin with presentation of the award, along with comments from St. Mary's leadership and the UW Health Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). Then, from 1:30pm – 3:00pm, attendees can learn all about the benefits of organ donation, while enjoying bright orange "dot" cookies. Laptops will also be on hand allowing anyone who wants to give the gift of life to sign up on Wisconsin' new online organ, tissue and eye donor registry at www.YesIWillWisconsin.com. The UW OPO will honor all of the medal winners at a reception in January in Madison.
To receive this HHS Medal of Honor, hospitals must achieve several standard rates, including a 75 percent donation rate. St. Mary's had 100 percent of the people who were eligible to be an organ donor became one, serving seven donors. The UW Hospital and Clinics had a 98 percent donation rate, with 40 donors.
The news today is good, but St. Mary's and UW Hospital and Clinics will continue to lead by example and share the real benefits of making this important decision. Just two to four percent of all people will die in a manner that allows for organ donation – so the more that register now, the more lives that can be saved. In Wisconsin, more than 1,600 people are currently on the organ waiting list out of a total of 109,000 waiting across the country. Just one organ donor can save up to eight of these lives.
Organ Donation statistics:
· In FY 2010, the UW Health OPO worked with 117 donor families, resulting in 377organs transplanted.
· Nationally, a new patient is added to the transplant waiting list every 11 minutes.
· Every day in the U.S., 19 people die waiting for their organ transplant.
· Up to eight lives can be saved by one organ donor. Corneas restore sight to the blind and thousands more can return to a healthy, active life through tissue transplantation.
· If you haven't said yes to donation while renewing your driver's license or state ID since March 29, 2010, go online today to legally authorize donation at: www.YesIWillWisconsin.com
· Tell your family your donation wishes, and encourage others to register online as a donor.

Everyone in the FoodFacts.com community understands our position on added sugars in our food supply. Sugar is everywhere and takes many forms. Unless we're preparing meals from scratch at home and using fresh ingredients, we are bound to be consuming more sugar than we're even aware of. It's just that prevalent in all kinds of food products.
The latest report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has now stated that Americans are definitely consuming too much sugar – about 13% of the average adult's total caloric intake is coming from sugar and high fructose corn syrup. This report included data collected on added sugar consumption between 2005 and 2010 for U.S. adults.
These shockingly high levels of sugar consumption were far greater than what would be considered typical for adults. The American Heart Association has been urging consumers to cut the amount of added sugar they are consuming. They've reported on the evidence that has accumulated that too much sugar is associated with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
The new CDC report shows that men are consuming more sugar per day than women. But gender differences fall away when looking at sugar consumption as a percentage of daily caloric intake. On average, men consumed 12.7% of daily calories from added sugar as compared to 13.2% for women. Those between the ages of 20 and 39 consumed the highest amount of added sugar – with over 14% of daily calories coming from sugars. It was also found that calories consumed from sugars decreased with age, with men and women over the age of 60 having the lowest percentage of daily calories from sugar intake.
Researchers noted that most of the added sugars consumed came from foods rather than beverages. In addition, added sugars are not those that occur naturally from foods like fruit or milk.
If you're a FoodFacts.com member, it's likely you read ingredient lists and nutrition labels before you purchase products. And it's also likely that you're already aware of the copious amounts of sugar that can be found in products that most wouldn't assume contain them. We can't emphasize the importance of reading lists and labels for so many reasons. Added sugars are a tremendous concern for our population. Read the labels before you buy. And understand that there really isn't any reasonable substitute for meals you prepare yourself, in your own kitchen from whole, fresh foods that weren't processed before they reached your table.

Eddie DeBartolo Jr. didn't say hello, clear his throat or even pause a beat to make sure my call had been transferred smoothly.
The rat-a-tat-tat former 49ers owner just picked up the phone in his Tampa, Fla., office on Tuesday and barked two words:
"Go Packers!"
Then he laughed, of course, and I joked that I always knew DeBartolo was a rabid Green Bay fan, despite all those fateful playoff clashes in the 1990s.
"Are you crazy? I hate that team!" DeBartolo said with a chortle at high amplification. "I have nightmares about the Packers and the Cowboys."
And so began another lively conversation with DeBartolo, who was, no surprise, locked in on the 49ers' Saturday playoff meeting with Green Bay ... and things beyond.
He said he'd just sent an email to his nephew, 49ers CEO Jed York, telling him to "enjoy the moment" and understand that coach Jim Harbaugh had everything under control.
But DeBartolo also admitted that he could never relax leading into all the big games of his Super Bowl-studded 49ers' ownership, and he had the luxury of Bill Walsh and George Seifert handling things.
"I don't care who agrees with me or doesn't agree with me, and that includes sports writers, I guess, the 49ers are way better than the Packers," DeBartolo said.
"I think they're totally on a par with Denver. I don't think New England is as good as Denver.
"Now this is just some idiot sitting in Tampa that thinks he knows what he's talking about, but it'll be déjà vu; I think the 49ers will be playing Denver in the Super Bowl."
And yes, DeBartolo says the 49ers will beat Denver in the big game.
DeBartolo brought that potential meeting up with a particular enthusiasm because 23 years ago, Seifert brought Joe Montana and the 49ers to play John Elway's Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV, and won 55-10.
This year's Super Bowl is in New Orleans. Site of that Super Bowl? New Orleans, naturally.
"It was, it sure was," DeBartolo said. "Déjà vu.
"I sat with Bill Walsh the entire game. We watched the game together. I was nervous as could be until about three or four minutes into the game.
"I said to Bill, 'This is going to be a real barn burner.' He said, 'Will you relax? Everybody's open, this game will be a blowout.'"
DeBartolo said he just likes the way the current 49ers have been built and thought they were the best team last season, too.
And as the man who ran the 49ers during the tumultuous Montana/Steve Young quarterback controversy, DeBartolo has credibility to speak about the Alex Smith/Colin Kaepernick switcheroo this season.
"That happens," DeBartolo said. "What are you going to do? Obviously, the coaching staff and Coach Harbaugh have confidence in Kaepernick right now.
"Alex Smith is a really good quarterback; he was coming into his own. He did have a concussion. That's a decision that the coach had to make, and he made it. Of course I feel bad for Alex Smith.
"We had some situations like that. Ours were a little more contentious than the one that's going on now. But that happens. It's part of life and it's part of football."
Mostly, DeBartolo raved about the leadership and decision-making of his nephew, who hired Harbaugh, general manager Trent Baalke and many other new executives.
The key: The 49ers have pushed their new Santa Clara stadium toward a 2014 completion while simultaneously establishing themselves as an elite NFL team.
"Jed's had his plate full," DeBartolo said. "And Jed has been exactly the way he should be. He's been behind the scenes, working on the stadium with the people he's hired, he's got that thing going up and moving, he's done a great job. Kudos to him.
"All the fans in the Bay Area, they ought to be thrilled ... I think he's done just a phenomenal job. And he's kept the family in the background."
By the way, DeBartolo is a semifinalist again for the Pro Football Hall of Fame election, and will find out in a week or so if he made the finalist list.
DeBartolo's deserved enshrinement is complicated by his suspension and forced transferring of the team to his sister, Denise DeBartolo York, after the 1999 season because of his ties to a Louisiana racketeering scandal and his guilty plea for failing to report a felony.
On another nostalgic front, I asked DeBartolo if he planned to attend a 49ers game during their Candlestick swan song next season.
"For what?" DeBartolo said with a laugh. "I guess they're going to blow it up? It served its purpose. Although they're going to be playing there next year.
"I'm going to come to a game or two next year. I'll say goodbye before something happens or something falls in.
"How long ago was it I called it a pig sty? A long time ago."
It was 1985 when DeBartolo made that infamous and relatively accurate Candlestick pronouncement -- a long, long time ago.
But when you talk to Eddie D, and he raises his voice to make a joke or a great point, and the 49ers are winning again, it can sound like right here, right now, all over again.

Peppered Beef Tenderloin Roast RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4 2 4
A pepper rub gives this moist tender beef a bit of a zippy taste. It takes just minutes to prepare, and the meat slices well. Lining the baking pan with foil makes it a breeze to clean up, too. -Denise Bitner Reedsville, Pennsylvania
- 3 tablespoons coarsely ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 beef tenderloin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
- Preheat oven to 400°. Combine pepper, oil, lemon peel, salt and garlic; rub over tenderloin. Place on a greased rack in a foil-lined roasting pan.
- Bake, uncovered, 45-65 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Yield: 10-12 servings.

"I have made this recipe twice and both time with rave reviews! I put whole peppercorns in a plastic bag or between pieces of wax paper and crushed with a rolling pin. A lot of work, but worth it. I also rubbed the beef with the mix and let sit in the fridge for several hours. You can't go wrong with tenderloin!"
Reviewed Dec. 21, 2010
"This was my first time preparing tenderloin and it was for a large crowd. It took forever to grind all the pepper with a hand grinder. Definitely would recommend getting that done ahead of time. I did receive many compliments. Everyone seemed to really enjoy this entree."

Leadership Conference
Leading Green:
The History
Alliant International University and the Alliant vision came to life in 2001. A lot was happening that year across the United States and around the world as the events of 9-11 and their aftermath unfolded. For Alliant students the merging of CSPP (California School of Professional Psychology) and USIU (United States International University) against a backdrop of national and international questioning and wondering meant a lot of change happening at every level of campus activity. But something magical also happened that year . . . two graduate students got together with the Student Government Association (SGA) and initiated what would become the annual Leadership Conference. Like a phoenix a new opportunity was born, an event by students, for students, to give voice to students' ideas, scholarship interests, and professional passions, working alone or with other students or with faculty or other professionals to present these ideas and passions in a format similar to a professional conference.
Eleven years later, this Leadership Conference is still a part of Alliant, and we are here to take it to the next level, with your help. This conference is for any graduate or undergraduate student at the university from a wide variety of disciplines including: Clinical Psychology, Business, Education, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Law, and Forensic Psychology.
