LODI -- Five people, including a child and a pregnant woman, were killed in a multicar collision on one of Lodi's main thoroughfares Tuesday afternoon, in one of the worst accidents in the history of the city of more than 60,000.
Around 5:21 p.m., police and paramedics responded to the intersection of Ham Lane and Vine Street where a five-car collision entailed resulted in multiple people being injured.
Lodi police said five were confirmed dead, including a "very young" child, a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. As of Tuesday night, the extent of others' injuries were not immediately available.
The intersection remains closed as crews continue to investigate the scene.
The cause of the collision is under investigation, but according to the Lodi News-Sentinel, several witnesses standing on the lawn of Lodi Middle School, facing Ham Lane, reported seeing a man in a tan SUV speed through the intersection while using a cell phone. That vehicle came to rest in front of the driveway to the school with severe damage to the front end.

(Boston, 02/08/11) New England Law | Boston: New England Law | Boston's Tax Moot Court Team weathered a fierce snowstorm, cancelled and delayed flights, and a penalty because of their resulting late arrival at the National Tax Moot Court Competition in St. Petersburg Beach, FL, on February 3-5. But the perseverance of team members Jordan Baumer '11 and Michael Saracino '11 paid off, and they garnered the Best Overall Brief award and Second Runner-up in the oral argument competition.
Transportation hurdles had to be cleared on the way to the annual assessment of tax law knowledge and presentation skills. Baumer, Saracino, and team coach Professor Kent Schenkel's original flight from Boston was cancelled, and the airline scrapped the next day's departures. The team booked with another carrier, but mechanical delays caused a missed connecting flight.
Professor Schenkel called the Florida Bar, which sponsors the competition, and explained that the team would be too late for the first scheduled competition round. The following terms were offered: the team could compete if it arrived by 3 p.m., but it would have to forfeit the first round.
"By the time we registered, it was after 2:30," said Professor Schenkel. "Jordan and Michael ran to their rooms, changed, entered the conference room by 3, and won."
The initial victory against LSU Law Center ("Possibly our toughest round," according to Professor Schenkel) was followed the next day by victories over Brooklyn Law School and the University of Alabama School of Law. The team came up short, however, in a very close decision against Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law. This loss, paired with the forfeit, eliminated New England Law from the championship round.
In the consolation round, the team competed successfully before United States Tax Court judges, besting Quinnipiac University School of Law to earn second runner-up (third place) honors.
"Overall the competion was one of the most intellecually challenging and rewarding experiences I've had during my time in law school," commented Michael Saracino. "The area of law I'm most interested in practicing is estate planning or other types of transactional tax work. I've never been interested in doing any type of work that would involve court appearances, and I've always felt that my weakest skill was my oral advocacy, which is what motivated me to take part in this competition. I will certainly have a new confidence if I ever appear before a judge on behalf of a client."
Baumer and Saracino also won the award for the Best Overall Brief, which was entirely their work product without advice from Professor Schenkel or John Keeney '11, the team's student-coach. Keeney was a member of last year's team, which took first place in the competition. Keeney also received the 2010 award for the best individual oralist.
"I really saw the team's confidence grow throughout the competition," noted Professor Schenkel, of New England Law's Center for Business Law. "They were very sharp on the law and were complimented by judges in every round."
The national competition features 16 law school teams, which consider a hypothetical appeal before a Federal Circuit Court. This year's problem focused on the claim of right doctrine and the tax practitioner-client privilege.

Really good for posting to a Wordpress blog. Works flawlessly and one can switch between code and WYSIWYG interfaces...
I only really use it to upload photos to my photobucket.
I love Flock and it's my default browser, but I'd still like to see some serious updates to areas like theme support and memory leakage.
A very, very cool and... fun browser to use. If you have a blog, it,s a must! You can also improve the speed with the same hacks of Camino and Firefox (about:config).
I could use nothing but flock, but I am an aqua addict and I also find the speed of Gecko consistently dissapointing compared to Webkit or Opera.
I encourage the innovation in this browser, but I find the GUI too disappointing to work with.
I have become a huge fan of flock...it has helped me discover scervices whichi have never used before. Although i obviously knew about flickr, del.icio.us, and wordpress, it was only after playing with flock for a few hours that i became attached to these scervices. My only problem with flock is that i can't figure out how to adjust how often RSS feeds refresh, or even how to force a manual refresh. Other than that, flock has become my number one browser, check it out!
It's a little slow for my liking, otherwise I would use it as my main browser, instead of using it only when I want to upload photos or do flickr stuff.
That being said the flickr integration is really nice and works very very well.
Shows its Firefox roots by not being "Mac enough" for my tastes but what it does provide is excellent. Integration with standard OS X features such as Keychain and Network Preferences, plus iPhoto for uploading of pictures to Flickr, would make this browser almost perfect. As it is the dependencies on base features being provided in Mozilla/Firefox before they become available in Flock holds this browser back but it is still very good.
Flock Rocks!

Mark Verdejo of Heart Boxing in New Bedford and Roberto Colon of the Fall River PAL both drew byes in Tuesday's first round of the New England Golden Gloves Novice Class Tournament in Lowell, thus advancing to Friday night's championship round.
Verdejo won the 132-pound Novice Class in the Southern New England Golden Gloves Tournament in Fall River, while Colon captured the 141-pound Novice Class for the second straight year.
Also competing in the Novice Class of the New England tourney in Lowell will be Jeff St. Pierre of Wisher's Gym in Dartmouth.
St. Pierre lost to Don Smith of Big Six Boxing in Providence in the Southern New England super heavyweight (201-plus) final, but Smith, who had the option of staying in the Novice Class or going for the Open Class title, chose the latter. He then lost to Cassius Cheney of Manfredo's Gym in Narragansett in the Southern New England Open final. That left a vacancy at super heavyweight in the Novice Class for the Southern New England team, which was filled by St. Pierre.
The Open Class of the New England tournament will be held Feb. 19 and 20. Oscar Atanacio of the Fall River PAL, the Southern New England champion, will compete in the Open 114-pound division.

Composer Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" is a work of obsession: the systematic exploration of its harmonies, the layering of its jig-sawed rhythmic processes. Crazy meticulous stuff.
Yet Reich's masterpiece -- which received a rare performance Monday from the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players -- opens into a spacious flow. It is "immersive," to use a 21st century adjective. In fact, it's practically a multi-media experience: Pulsing explosions of light seem to wash over the listener, who is immersed, yes, in blended timbres and textures that seem tactile and fragrant, incredibly beautiful. It's filled with grooves that shimmy and shimmer. It's an exotic, hour-long summing up of Reich's influences of the era: modal jazz and gamelan, Ghanaian drumming and medieval polyphony. And it's as trippy as the drugs Reich may or may not have been taking around the time that the piece premiered at New York's Town Hall on April 24, 1976.
I love this piece to death, feel a long and deep attachment to it, even attended a 1976 pre-premiere performance of it by Reich's ensemble at a Soho loft. It was one of those "wow" experiences, and, 37 years later, I found myself nodding in agreement with Steven Schick, the Contemporary Music Players' artistic director, who discussed "Music for 18 Musicians" in a pre-concert talk at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He called it "one of the great pieces of the 20th century."
It's become a common assessment that this is the ultimate work by Reich, now 76, whom many regard as the greatest living American composer -- and perhaps still the coolest. His pulsing and shimmering influence has spread through musical culture, from Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" to Radiohead, Björk, Pat Metheny and even Stephen Sondheim.
Monday, the conservatory's Concert Hall was packed with a hooting and hollering audience of Reich lovers of all ages. They got to hear a decent performance of "18": sometimes a little sagging, sometimes more than a little out of balance. (The sound mix wasn't great; were those singers plain timid or just under-amplified?)
But then there were those times when the ensemble would step through one of Reich's harmonic transitions and the effect would be of a window suddenly being wiped clean. It was like sunlight poured through the hall, amid a blissed-out conference of sleigh bells. The bass clarinets kept warbling their bullfrog-deep, pulsed melodies. And the soprano vocalists kept singing their goofy-lovely, repetitive rhythm-chants: dot daydle-dot, DOTtle, DOPE-dee-doo!
(How many times can you say that fast?)
The piece -- Reich's first big harmonic essay -- explores 11 chords, and the body of it is divided into 11 sections. Each is about five minutes long, exploring one of those chords as Reich keeps turning his kaleidoscope of melody and rhythm.
It was somewhere around the fifth or sixth section -- about half an hour into the performance -- that the group hit its stride, which it maintained for perhaps 20 minutes. Hard to say exactly what happened, but percussionist Christopher Froh, standing at one of numerous marimbas on stage, lifted his mallets in the air; some kind of signal. Watch this! He and pianist Kate Campell made eye contact, began bobbing their heads and instantly locked into some brand new rhythmic pattern in Reich's tapestry.
A moment or two later, Schick -- the tribal chief at center-stage, playing a vibraphone -- leaned into a four-note melody, letting each note hang in the air. It was another cue: boing!!! The entire group seemed to shoot up a magic elevator to a new staging ground: wild rhythm, like a modal-Latin, Pharoah Sanders jam session. Shaking a set of maracas, percussionist William Winant appeared transported, his tongue sticking out between his lips. All the while, the strings played long squeezed, unison notes, in and out, like a bellows; big healthy breaths of sound.
Mind you, all of this is notated and strictly organized, the work of a trained composer, who studied under Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud at Mills College in Oakland during the early '60s. In his early years, Reich worked with the strict repetition of minimal materials and was dubbed one of the pioneering Minimalists. The term sticks even today, but is misleading, as "18" -- just one example in Reich's oeuvre -- assigns thousands of notes to each of its players, and can last 75 minutes, if every repeat in the score is taken.
"In what sense is that minimal?" Schick asked in his talk before the concert. Good question.
This maximal work was one of three on the program, titled "Confirmation." Reich used that word to describe his response to a trip he took to Ghana in 1970. It was a journey of study and discovery, confirming the musical path he was on.
His music grew more complex after returning; "Music for 18 Musicians," which explores African bell rhythms, is one example. Two others were on Monday's program.
It opened with "Clapping," from 1972, which Schick described as "almost like an etude" coming out of the African trip. He performed it with percussionists Froh, Winant and Daniel Kennedy.
They ambled onto the stage and set right into it: the sound of four men clapping. It was a percussion celebration, complex in its changing rhythmic patterns, and sounding like an elaborate (and localized) game of hambone, the African-American dance that involves slapping hands, arms, legs, chest and cheeks.
The program also featured "Electric Counterpoint," composed in 1987 as a commission for guitarist Pat Metheny. Typically, its performance involves a soloist who plays against a pre-recorded tape of himself or herself: as many as ten other guitar parts and two electric bass parts. Monday, the San Francisco Conservatory Guitar Ensemble -- 15 instrumentalists conducted by David Tanenbaum -- gave it a persuasive performance.
The quick-pulsing first movement (where Reich builds a bluesy riff from Central Africa into an eight-part canon) ebbed and flowed, its many parts sweeping up to form a pulsing (that word again) mosaic. (Metheny plays with similar ideas in his "The Way Up," from 2005.) The slow second movement (which works with loopy, noodling themes) felt spacey in a Grateful Dead kind of way. The third movement, with its fast-chiming motion and gorgeous little modulations, seemed to dose the audience with sunshine.

Wow, look at you. "Start-Ups: Silicon Valley" is closing in on its final episodes and, while many viewers have fled, you're still bravely hanging in there. So what? Did someone promise you a free iPad if you make it to the bitter end? Or at least a Purple Heart?
Tonight's episode, "Last-Pitch Effort," picks up the action (or inaction) at The Villa, where siblings Ben and Hermione are dealing with the fallout from her decision to strap one on at her birthday party and play pokey with the guests.
Ben thinks it's time for his sister to grow up. Hermy wonders if they can really keep working together. She also thinks it's hypocritical of Ben to criticize her life choices when Ben is (Spoiler alert!) messing around with two girls.
Say what? Yes, not only does he have a thing for Sarah, but he apparently has been dating a model named Ashley, who is about to visit from New York.
But Ben dismisses this two-timer talk. For one thing, Sarah isn't going to work out, he says, because she's a "nice girl, but a little crazy." For another, Ashley is just an occasional little something-something on the side.
"We hook up, we have fun, then we leave again," he says. "It's perfect."
Meanwhile, Kim and Dwight have met for lunch in San Francisco and they're doing what our "Start-Ups" pals seem to do best: Talk behind each others' backs.
Kim is telling Dwight all about the horrific sex-toy incident, at the party calling it "ridiculous and uncomfortable."
Then the pettiness shifts to Sarah. Kim can't believe how Sarah doesn't make much money, yet still finds a way to live high on the hog.
"The tech world is like her sugar daddy," she sneers, pointing out that she's a cute blonde girl in a community largely bereft of cute blonde girls. So she gets away with things.
Kim, by the way, seems to be showing the first signs of her sad, no-income, jobless existence: There are holes in her sweater.
Next, we move on to Rocketspace. Ben and Hermione are about to pitch their fitness app, Ignite, for what seems like the 500th time. Their audience today is made up of a group of venture capitalists, including Esther, who apparently spent some time in space -- far, far away from the nerds of Silicon Valley.
At one point, Esther seems to be falling asleep, but it turns out that she and her posse are actually interested in Ignite. They just want to lay their eyes on the physical app, if that can be worked out.
From there, we spend a mercifully short time at David's condo, where he's getting ready (and applying Rogaine) for his first day at the Appcelerator office. He's excited to be working there on Goal Sponsors because he'll have no "naughty things on the Internet" to distract him. But the pressure is on because he's got to beta in 30 days.
But enough of David. Turns out, Ashley has arrived and she and Ben are going to dine out at Circa. Ashley is a top-heavy, long-legged beauty who is easy on the eyes. She and Ben calculate that they've known each other for, oh, about four years and have spent a total of three days in bed.
Ben tells us that Ashley is the perfect booty call (or "snuggles") and, around her, he tends to think with a body part other than his head. Ashley, it turns out, knows about Sarah, but Ben swears that it's only a case of casual flirting and that he's never slept with her.
Naturally, that's Ashley's signal to move to Ben's side of the table and start playing tonsil hockey.
After a commercial break, we shoot over to Lunar Designs, where Ben and Hermy are showing some of their unfinished product to the VCs. There's a lot of talk about practicality, and usage and sperms going into eggs (the app logo), but will an investment be made?
Later, Michael and Amy (our key VCs) drop by The Villa and they've brought some sparkling wine, which seems like a good sign. They plop down on the couch and Michael talks about what a big risk Ignite is and how it would be a giant "leap of faith" to pour $500,000 into a product that isn't quite finished.
That doesn't sound good, but wait ... they're going to do it. Finally, Ben and Hermy have their money! Corks are popped and the siblings erupt in jubilation.
But you know that happiness just can't last on this show. No way. Ben and Hermy are all set to hold a victory party at The Villa and they make the humongous mistake of inviting Sarah, the gorgeous villain of our piece.
In an earlier segment, Sarah revealed to David that she knows Ashley is in town and that she's not cool with it. She thinks it's a "total dick move" on the part of Ben, who is "trying to have his cake and eat it too." Naturally, she's going to bring the drama.
Sarah shows up at the party looking fabulous in a shiny red dress. She quickly heads over to an area where Hermy and Ashley are hanging out (Was this whole thing set up?) Things get immediately awkward when Hermy mentions that Ben recently went on a date with Sarah (Lucky for us, Ms. Way just can't keep her mouth shut).
This little revelation offends Ashley, who tells Sarah that she's "stepping on toes."
"Are you trying to get with him?" she asks. "If you are, you need to stop."
Oh, you don't challenge our Sarah that way! She's from the mean hoods of Marin and she will bring it, post haste.
"Ben told me you were stalking him," Sarah says, without batting an eye. It's the equivalent of a vicious sucker punch right to the gut. You do not mess with this chick!
Sarah, who could clearly use some people skills, calls Ban over to confirm that he indeed, deemed Ashley a stalker. Ben looks like the proverbial deer in the headlights. He hems and haws and delivers a very convincing "Huh?"
By now Ashley is crying and Sarah is telling Ben to "man up." It has taken forever, but "Start-Ups" has finally given us a "Real Housewives"-worthy moment.
Hermy, now outraged, asks Sarah: "Why are you even here?" and then Ben says its time for her to leave. He doesn't want her "negative energy" around here.
So Sarah high tails it out of there with her cousin Glen. Sadly, no table is overturned. No eyes are clawed out. But Ben makes it very clear that he is done with Sarah, so he severs the relationship by using a very trendy, 21st century method:
A deletes her from his cell-phone contact list.

I'm thinking when the weather breaks (I live in Phoenix, and the temps have been in the one teens, no kidding!) that I'll move from my treadmill to outside with my dog. Does anyone else have a fave canine running mate? Do you have a hands free leash to suggest? Any dog friendly running suggestions?
I've never tried a hands-free leash--I run/ran with two dogs and eventually a stroller as well... But I found that once they were trained the leash wasn't an issue for me. I kept it mostly loose and didn't have to deal with any unexpected pulling since I had a hand on things. (I now have one older dog and a newer puppy, so having a handle on the leash will help with any pulling puppy might do once she starts running with me in earnest.)
As with people, be sure to increase mileage slowly. My older dog (who now prefers to take leisurely walks) ran as far as 9-10 miles with me, but we started out with 1-2 miles and worked our way up to big miles...especially once we moved to Hawaii where weather was a little warmer! If your dog is pretty well trained for walking (listens to you, doesn't try to run off or chase other dogs, people, etc.,) you should have an easy transition to running. If not, might help to bring treats with you at the start! My previous dog was a bit over-enthusiastic when meeting up with other dogs, and treats helped to keep him focused on the straight-ahead job. It was much easier to tote the treats once I started running with the stroller, though. Not sure how I would've handled that if I had to hold them the whole way!
A vet once told me that if the dog falls behind and/or you have to pull it to keep it with you, that's a sign that the dog doesn't want to run anymore or can't run, and it's time to slow down or stop. I had a tough time with that as my older dog slowed down--I was getting frustrated and forgetful that she may not want to run as far. Probably a good thing to remember with a new-to-running dog, as well. Avid runners may not always take notice of a dog's need to slow down, or a dog who doesn't like to run. We tend to get caught up in our own miles.
Not sure if that's these are the kind of suggestions you're looking for, but I absolutely LOVED running with my dogs! When the older dog was younger and we had another partner for her, I actually did a lot of races with them both. Better to find smaller races where they don't have no-dog policies, but as long as you are considerate of your fellow runners, it's a lot of fun!! My old gal is getting too old, and puppy isn't quite old enough to really log miles (and I'm hampered by a huge baby bump for one more month anyway), but once puppy and I are cleared for running, I'll be back on the roads (er, sidewalks) logging miles with my 4-legged partner. It's the best!! Good luck!
Yes, I have a German Shorthaired Pointer and have run with her for the last 2 1/2 years. Here is the freeleash that I use as well as a cooling vest for the summer (I live in FL so temp is not in the one teens but the humidity will kill you). http://www.gundogco.com/collections/running-dog Best advice I can give is take it slow. RunnersWorld.com has a lot of good articles about running with your dog.
My GSP is extremely energetic and would sprint the first 1/4 if I'd let her (we really need to explain to her "pacing") but she is also still going after ten mile trail runs. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other specific questions. I learned the hard way through two and a half years of running with my dog
Thanks. I'm looking forward to bringing along a dog (or two, I have several). I'll have to build them up, esp in our weather here. Easy to get dehydrated.
Thanks for the response. Good idea on the cooling vest. That would be a great idea for the dog I intend to run with most frequently.
What breed are you going to run with?
There are some great suggestions here. I actually started running 2 years ago to give my dog more exercise, so we have learned together! I also suggest you get that you get a hands free leash. I do not remember the brand, but I got it at REI. (I do not see it on their website right now.) I did not start with a hands free leash, and hurt my back from the akward movement.
My dog could not keep up over a long distance at first, but now he can do lapos around me. I got a backpack for him, and added small hand weights to it. (We have worked up to a total of 6lbs.) It really helps to tire him out, and now when we go on long hikes he can easily cary his own gear. (Water, food, toys, etc...)
I have a German Shorthaired Pointer/Lab mix. We run with a Stunt Puppy hands-free lead which we both appreciate. It just took a while to get her to run steadily next to me without correction. My last dog was a Springer Spaniel who worked his was up to 16 miles at a time. As stated previously, train them like you would train yourself: start slow and short, building gradually. They cannot tell you when they hurt or what is too far. They will run to please you. A side note for those in the northern climates: you can buy wax for their paws to keep snow off in the winter.
If you carry a water bottle for yourself, I have found it helpful if you can teach your dog to take squirts from the water bottle also. If you can tip your dog's muzzle upward and pull up the lip on the side nearest to you, then simply squirt the water into the side of her mouth. She will lap it up. Keep the squirts brief so it's comfortable for her to drink and swallow. No need to bring a separate water bottle for your dog this way since it doesn't have to touch her mouth. Another thing I taught my standard poodle is to put her paws up onto a water fountain at the park and lap the water as I run it. (Try to avoid this while others are playing at the park though. Some have expressed their displeasure at having to drink from the fountain after a dog.)
Cjefrun also mentioned the paw wax for the northern climates. I also like the Muttluks dog boots in snow, especially for breeds with longer hair. Train them to wear the boots on shorter walks first (try not to laugh too much at their funny walking when they're first on :). Eventually they will be excited for the boots to come out since it means they're going for a walk - a good life reward, no treat needed.
An additional note that puppies under age 1 (or giant breeds under age 2) shouldn't be made to run. Since their joints are still growing, it is possible to damage the joints by compelled running/jumping. It's ok if the pup is initiating the running/playing but we should not be having them come along with us on our longer jaunts. Check with your vet on this one if you have questions.
I have a German Shorthaired Pointer (she may be mixed with something else). She trained with me last fall for a marathon. I live in Phoenix, and I took her all the way to 18 miles. I think she could have run more (these dogs are energetic), but I put the cap at 18 for her. She built her miles the same way I did mine... going with me on almost all my training runs. I use a leash with her. In the beginning she'd get over eager when she saw other dogs, but she soon learned that running was serious business, and we don't stop for other dogs/people. I would start with one dog at a time and work up. I've seen people have a hard time with more than one in the beginning (leashes crossing, dogs not knowing which side to run on, etc. = disaster). Good luck and happy running!
Thanks so much for your response. I have a beagle/rottweiler mix that I'm starting out with. I still feel like it's a bit warm for her, hell it's warm for me if I try outdoors off the treadmill. I can easily see myself having trouble with multiple dogs, esp my dogs. Since I'm still pretty slow, I think my dachshund (he's standard, not the miniature) who is super energetic could easily keep up and that would wear him out. He tends to want to entertain himself if he gets too bored, never a good idea.
I think I'm going to have to break out the gentle leader for my beagle mix for starting. Just the few times I've taken her out, she gets overexcited and starts playing Nanook of the North, my new sled dog. Not exactly helpful when I'm trying to keep my feet pointed forward and staying in alignment.
I have a beagle/rottweiler mix (she's about 45 lbs) that I walk/run with. We're both still getting started, and she's good about shade seeking (like instantly, enough to yank my arm out as she plops into a shady spot) when she's getting slightly warm. She's a good companion. I also have a smaller terrier mix that could use some excess energy burned up. I also have a standard dachshund who could easily keep up with me at this point. I have two chihuahuas who are good for days when I'm going for a walk, and no running at all.
I have a 2 year old dalmation (he's about 55lbs). I am a 49 year old female. We ran our first 5k together it was for an animal shelter. I haven't been good about training and being prepared for this race with him.. I knew he would have no problem runnin it. This race included people with dogs and without. The people with dogs started in the back of the pack. The race began with a challenging hill the gun went off and of course what did my dog want to do sprint up hill and pass everyone. Not being in the best of shape when we made it up the hill I was tired and he was just getting warmed up. We ended the race in 32:56 and that was with a couple of bathroom breaks for the dog. I know I have to work with him on pacing any ideas to work with him? Also I know when I run I shouldn't be near the grass and then he hopfully won't have to go to the bathroom.
Happy running!
I've started C25K today with my 4 year old springer spaniel. W1D1 went well, although I let him off the lead once I started jogging my 60 sec bursts, on the way back he was happier on the lead & walked calmly next to me. I'm training for the London Moonwalk in May 2013. I did it this year but it took me way too long.....so more traning & I hope to complete this midnight marathon in a lot less time :-)
Hoping he will run comfortably next to me on the lead once he gets used to my patterns.

LOS ALTOS HILLS -- Dakari Monroe electrified the Archbishop Mitty sideline with an 87-yard run on the Monarchs' first offensive play of the season Friday night, but it wasn't until the third quarter that Mitty took charge against Los Gatos.
The Monarchs spoiled Mark Krail's coaching debut with the Wildcats, turning a slim halftime deficit into 28-14 victory at Foothill College.
In a season-opening matchup between two of the area's top programs, Mitty burned nearly the first seven minutes of the third quarter to drive 72 yards for the go ahead touchdown.
The Monarchs never looked back.
Chandler Ramirez's 23-yard scoring run and Kyle Evans' two-point conversion run gave Mitty a 20-14 lead with 5:02 left in the third quarter.
The Monarchs extended the lead to two touchdowns later in the quarter when quarterback Trenton Scharrenberg scored on a 7-yard run and then threw a pass to Monroe for the two-point play.
What changed at halftime?
"In the locker room, our coaches told us we weren't playing bad, we were just playing flat and making bad mistakes," Ramirez said. "So what we had to do was play our game. We had to do the basics in order to win this football game."
Monroe led Mitty with 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns in six carries. Ramirez also had a big night running the ball, but his blocking stood out to Mitty coach Matt Haniger.
"I thought Chandler Ramirez did some of the best blocking I've seen from a fullback in a long, long time," Haniger said. "That was really nice to see."
The game couldn't have started any better for Mitty. Its defense forced a three-and-out on the season's opening series, then Monroe provided a jolt with his long sprint to the end zone.
But Los Gatos has a talented roster with a top-notch quarterback and a hard-nosed running attack, led by Joey Wood, one of the area's top sophomores last season.
Wood turned the early Mitty momentum around with a big run through the middle of the field later in the first quarter. He gained 41 yards before fumbling, but Los Gatos recovered the loose ball and picked up an extra 4 yards to boot, moving the Wildcats to the Mitty 24.
A 10-yard pass from Nick Bawden to Keegan Kreutzer and a personal foul penalty on the next play put the ball inside the Mitty 5. On third-and-goal from the 1, Wood hammered his way into the end zone. Logan Chapman's PAT gave Los Gatos a 7-6 advantage. (Mitty's point-after kick was no good).
Los Gatos worked some magic on its next series, with Bawden scrambling for 25 yards on third-and-13 and Dru Brown throwing a 24-yard pass to Cole Wisecarver on a fourth-and-5 fake punk.
The Wildcats later converted a fourth-and-10 on the series when Bawden tossed a misdirection screen to C.J. Butcher, who followed a wall of blockers for a 21-yard gain to the 12.
Two plays later, on third down, Bawden rolled right and fired an 11-yard strike in the end zone to Cody Marshall to extend Los Gatos' lead to 14-6 with 8:56 left in the opening half.
"We had two great drives in the first half and finished with two touchdowns, so I was very pleased," said Krail, who replaced longtime coach Butch Cattolico after last season. "Second half, they open with a seven-minute drive and really took away the momentum that we had coming out. We just never got on track in the second half on the offensive side."
Mitty answered late in the half as Monroe provided another spark, spinning through two defenders on a 51-yard touchdown run that pulled the Monarchs to within 14-12.
Los Gatos 7 7 0 0 -- 14
Mitty 6 6 16 0 -- 28
M -- Monroe 87 run (kick failed)
LG -- Wood 1 run (Chapman kick)
LG -- Marshall 11 pass from Bawden (Chapman kick)
M -- Monroe 51 run (run failed)
M -- Ramirez 23 run (Evans run)
M -- Scharrenberg 7 run (Monroe pass from Scharrenberg)

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- There is a new sheriff-elect in Richmond County. Lt. Richard Roundtree snagged 63 percent of the vote Tuesday night and is set to become the first African-American sheriff in Richmond County.
"How are you feeling this morning?" we asked Roundtree as he called into our weekly radio segment on 96.3 KISS FM.
"I'm tired, Chris, but I am extremely happy to be with the citizens this morning," he replied.
Roundtree is set to be the county's first African American sheriff.
"It tells us what we can do when we vote," said historian Dr. Mallory Millender. "This is the election with the greatest African-American impact that I have seen in my lifetime."
Voters took to the polls and sent African-Americans to the Sheriff's Office, probate judge, and Solicitor's Office; not to mention the White House.
"We were waiting for the computer to hurry up," said District Attorney Ashley Wright who insists it's not always about race. "I hope it's not always about race. I think it is about what people want."
"The biggest challenge is changing the mindset of deputies and the citizens of Richmond County," said Roundtree, who says deputies are peace officers not just law enforcement officers.
"In the '50s, black police could not arrest white people," said Dr. Millender. "Now the sheriff is black. That speaks volumes for the progress we have made."
But this sheriff will push education over incarceration.
"We are trying to promote voluntary compliance," Roundtree said. "It takes no effort in the world to go out and just lockup somebody up. If you are bigger and stronger and have enough people, you can lock up anybody in the world."
The top cop and top prosecutor are pushing racial harmony.
"I've said it before," Wright said, "I think, a lot of times, we look at the things that divide us."
The focus is now reaching out to the community. Roundtree is starting with a challenger turned supporter like Cpt. Scott Peebles.
"My greater good is for the community, and Scott's greater good is for the community, too," Roundtree said. "He has been part of this administration before this race started, and he is going to be a part of this administration come Jan. 1."

A Caldwell woman is believed to have died while trying to reach a friend's house following an accident over the weekend.
According to a release from the Noble County Sheriff's Office, the body of Sarah Langley, 21, was discovered by family and friends Sunday, about three-quarters of a mile from where her vehicle crashed Saturday on T-Ridge Road in Noble County's Olive Township.
A deputy responded to a report of a single-vehicle accident Saturday and found a vehicle registered to Langley. He was unable to locate her in the immediate area, the release says.
That evening, Langley's mother notified the sheriff's office her daughter had not checked in with her like she usually does and an investigation into her whereabouts began.
Her body was discovered the next day in a search conducted by friends and family.
"It appears Ms. Langley had attempted to walk cross country through very rugged terrain to a friend's house," the release says. "It is believed at this time Ms. Langley most likely died of exposure to the cold."
A cause of death has not been determined; however, Sheriff Steve Hannum said there is no indication of foul play.
The incident remains under investigation.

Types of Meetings under Robert's Rules
7 of 8 in Series: The Essentials of Robert's Rules for Establishing a Deliberative Body
Meetings are what Robert's Rules was written to facilitate, and the Rules can help you run or participate in a variety of meetings, as described in the following list:
Regular meetings are just that: regular! You can count on having one every week, month, quarter, or whatever your schedule calls for. The days on which you hold regular meetings are probably spelled out in your bylaws, and if you've done the smart thing, you've even established the time of the meeting by adopting a standing rule. Regular meeting times can be established in other ways, but if the times aren't fixed in the rules in some way, you must provide for a definite notice procedure in your bylaws.
Regular meetings are generally conducted to complete a standard order of business. Any motions that require previous notice (such as bylaw amendments) must be noticed in strict accordance with your bylaws or rules of order, as the case may be.
Special meetings, sometimes referred to as called meetings, are held when your group needs to take up business that requires urgent attention and can't wait until the next regular meeting. You can't call a special meeting unless your bylaws specifically authorize them.
The notice for a special meeting must set forth every issue the meeting will address. Absolutely nothing can be done in a special meeting if it was not specifically included in the notice of the meeting. This rule protects the rights of absentees and can't be suspended.
An adjourned meeting is a continuation of a meeting (regular or special) that adjourned without completing its agenda or order of business, and which was scheduled either as part of a session of several meetings, or just provided for in the previous meeting by adjourning to a particular time, thus extending the session to include another meeting. In the adjourned meeting, the order of business continues at the point where it left off in the previous meeting (except that the minutes of the previous meeting are read before the meeting continues).
Adjourned meetings are appropriate when it's important to continue the business of a particular meeting before the beginning of the next regular meeting.
An annual meeting is generally the occasion to elect officers, or an executive board, or both; hear a lot of reports and approve the auditors' report; have some refreshments; and go home. After that, the new officers and the board run the show for the next 12 months until it's time for another annual meeting. Minutes of annual meetings of this sort should be approved as soon as possible, and it's customary for the members to appoint a special committee for that purpose.
An executive session is any meeting or part of a meeting in which the proceedings are considered secret and nonmembers are excluded. Commonly, fraternal lodges conduct all their meetings in executive session.
Nonmembers may be invited, as is often the case when a nonmember of a board is a reporting member of a committee that reports to the board. Even in those cases, the nonmember only attends at the pleasure of the board.

Love is in the air at the Hennepin County Government Center — where judges are marrying 17 couples for free on this Valentine's Day.
Military and first responder couples will be among those who tie the knot.
Hennepin County Judge William Koch says the bench wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day in a unique way. The judges thought the free weddings would be a fun event as well as a way to give back to military members and first responders, who were given first priority. Civilian couples are also participating.
The program starts at noon Thursday, and judges plan to hold one wedding ceremony every 15 minutes. The ceremonies will be at the Hennepin County Government Center, near the reflection pool.

EA Crafting A Used Games Policy For Xbox One
Microsoft set off shock waves in the videogame industry by saying that software publishers will be able to restrict the sharing and resale of games for its forthcoming Xbox One console Electronic Arts, in response, says it is in the process of creating a policy for used games.
Speaking at an investor meeting during the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, Frank Gibeau, president of the Redwood City, Calif. company's games efforts, said his teams are "formulating our policy" following Microsoft's comments.
"EA has a position of looking at used games from a user standpoint and a gamer standpoint," he said. "We will definitely be looking at gamer-first and creating an opportunity to have a relationship with used games such that it's a positive experience."
The company plans to release its games policy within the next couple of weeks, Gibeau said in a separate interview, and it will take into account things like its own now-abandoned attempt to restrict disc game resales called Online Pass, which did not do well with consumers. "The policy we do come out with will have that in mind," he said, and it will likely be the same policy across all its console games. "A nuanced and sophisticated approach is important instead of a blunt instrument."
EA's comments are the first to be made by a major videogame maker after Microsoft said in a statement last week that it would be adding additional restrictions on the way disc games are treated with its Xbox One. In particular, Microsoft said videogame makers such as EA and Activision Blizzardld use new technology to restrict how they're resold, traded or shared with friends. Microsoft also said the Xbox One would need to connect to the Internet at least once per day.
The policy was unpopular with gamers, and led many to enthusiastically cheer when Sony on Monday said it would not be imposing any additional restrictions on its upcoming PlayStation 4 game console, effectively saying it will not implement any technology to restrict resale or shared use of a game disc. Sony also said it would charge $100 less than Microsoft for its videogame console.
"Sony's having a great show," Gibeau said when asked about the announcements from Sony and Microsoft.
"Microsoft is showing killer capabilities," he added, but Sony did a particularly good job offering price points and features. "Sony's really striking the right balance."
He added that another positive thing that's come from the videogame expo is that the industry broadly has stopped wondering whether the upcoming PlayStation and Xbox will be growth catalysts. "Now they're focused on what it will be like next fall," he said.
One thing EA hasn't talked about, however, is Nintendo. EA came out with several games for the Wii U videogame console when it launched late last year, and it even released a new "Need for Speed" racing game earlier this year, Gibeau said the game has been disappointing.
"It didn't sell to our expectations," he said, adding that he believed some of the reason was a lack of strong sales for the console itself.
EA hasn't announced any new games at this show so far for the Wii U, saying its focus has been on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Gibeau said that on top of that, the effort to build games for the Wii U is cumbersome, particularly because it isn't as powerful as its competitors will be. The device also doesn't have the same Internet services Microsoft and Sony offer, he added, creating dissonance between a game as it's played on the Wii U as opposed to other game consoles.
"There aren't economies of scale," he said.
The biggest priorities for the company have become the Xbox, the PlayStation and mobile games, Gibeau said. But the company hasn't given up entirely on platforms it's struggled with. One example is "Star Wars: The Old Republic," a massive online fantasy game set in the world of the popular sci-fi franchise.
When it launched, EA said the game had been its biggest development project ever, and some analysts estimated it cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make over its five years of production.
But the game didn't live up to expectations, and last year, EA said it would switch the game's business model from a subscription service to that of a free-to-play game.
Since then, Gibeau said the game has swung from being money-losing to profitable, though it still hasn't recouped the initial investment costs.
"Did it meet expectations? No," he said, but customers who are playing the game today are giving it high marks. "We'll continue to invest in it," he said, adding that he would like to keep the game running though the release of the new Star Wars films.
Note: This item has been updated to include comments from a later interview.

LETTER: Use words wisely; they have great power
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 10:30 a.m.
Dear Editor: Do you realize that each of us go through life with a remarkable power right under our nose? It is a power so great that it is capable of producing life or death — depending on how it's used.
The Bible tells us that our words are so powerful that they can bless or curse, encourage or discourage, hurt or heal, tear down or build up. Our words can even influence the way we act and feel as well as determine our attitude and outlook on life. That's right, this powerful weapon is the tongue and its ammunition is the words we speak.
I know most of us at least glance at or skim the letters to the editor when we are reading our local newspapers. Sometimes I can't believe some of the words coming out of folks' mouths in their letter to the editor.
Foolish people have an opinion on anything and everything. They have very little knowledge, but they always have an opinion. And of course, they are very vocal about their opinion with little regard for anyone else's opinion.
Proverbs 10:19 reminds us that "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." Jesus warned us that "men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every careless word they have spoken" (Matthew 12:36).
Quote, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." (Abraham Lincoln)

Frontier Academy in colorado won a game over Justice High 94-1. They were up 48-0 at halftime. Running it up?
running it up fa sureee fa suree. Yet its embarrasing a team cant score more than 1 point. That must be a team consisting of players who have never touched a basketball before ( if that is possible)
I think it was a girls game. You see scores, not of this magnitude, like this all the time in girls sports. Look at UCONN womens bball, they crush people, same thing for some college softball teams. There are not as many teams and the difference in talent from the top to the bottom is greater than in boys.
Legend Status
Even more so the case. You would think girls would have more sympathy than boys to run up the score. They usually offer a hand when an opposing player falls down
sometimes you cant help it. You cant tell a back up who has never played to not score. Whats more embarrissing, Losing by 93 or having the other team play keep away and not shoot to keep the score low?
Legend Status
Could have been alot like this commercial
Chocolate thunder aka darryl dawkins he was the originater of breaking backboards
speaking of shattered glass.
good video, I wish the sixers had someone like him now. Reggie Evans and Sammy D arent going to be breaking backboards anytime soon.
hahaha good point Marion only one breaking backboards will be Igouala its a shame he cant hit a jumpshot
now if only the sixers can get Elton Brand back they will be running up the scores haha
yeah right, keep brand off the court, the sixers are running a gunning with out him.
Malvern Prep 09 'run with us'
nah MP is "give the ball to Lamon Church with us"
Seems like MP needs to make a new hire in their marketing campaign. Be soft with us

1. Zero Gravity Circus
I biked over to 1300 Gerrard Street East to join the weekly Zero Gravity Circus practice (7 - 11, Wednesdays). These guys are way, way cool. They're really set up for circus practice: long strips of cloth for acrobats, mats all over the place, and even a small stage. People juggled assorted things: balls, clubs, rings... A number of people practiced poi (they're using really short strings, for some reason) and fire staves (sans fire), and there were even a couple of diabolo people. (Way, way, cool!)
The streetcar runs along Gerrard Street E, so it's a pretty convenient location. Now I have a regular Wednesday evening thing...

3. You've got a friend...
I've just finished watching the video my friends made for my birthday and send-off party, and now that I've recovered my breath from laughing so hard, all I can say is... wow!
Here's a toast to a totally amazing group of friends without whom I would be missing out on so much wonderfulness.
やめとけやめとけ。それより薬局に性能の良いコンピューターがあるんだよ。 Don't do that!!! There's a computer at the drug store.
4. Custom planner =)
I went to a shop specializing in pens and organizers, but I couldn't
find anything that matched what I had in mind. So I made my own
planner templates using
I'm going to test the templates over the next few days. If it works for me, then I'll put the templates up on the Net. They're for standard letter-size three-ring binders, so anyone can use them easily. =)
I'm a happy girl.

While much of BC has been dry, some waterfowl are staging in the northern Interior. It has also been relatively dry in the territories, but many broods are being observed. Broods are also abundant in the Prairie provinces. Alberta is lusher than usual, low evaporation rates are compensating for below-normal rainfall in Saskatchewan and loss of nests was lower than expected in Manitoba. Throughout the Eastern Region, wetlands conditions are good, as are the prospects for the fall flight.

When I learned March was National Caffeine Awareness Month, I set out to confirm the benefits of including caffeine in one's diet. I enjoy getting my daily dose of caffeine from an early morning cup (okay cups) of coffee. Other sources of caffeine include black tea, chocolate, energy water and chocolate covered coffee beans.
According to a recent article written by Ed White, caffeine can help you to be smarter, stronger, healthier and even younger-looking. The article claims over 21,000 studies conducted over the past 60 years have shown that the many benefits of caffeine appear to outweigh any known drawbacks. Those benefits inlude the following:
• Caffeine improves memory
• Caffeine stimulates hair growth
• Caffeine benefits muscles
• Caffeine is good for your heart
• Caffeine improves liver function
• Caffeine helps to prevent Alzheimer's
• Caffeine helps to prevent Parkinson's Disease
The health benefits are encouraging but, as with all food and drink, moderation is the key. For more information about the above mentioned benefits visit www.bryanmarcel.com.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By Robin Mather
canning recipes, safe canning
I found a treasure trove of my grandmother's canning recipes and am eager to use them. They use some interesting techniques, such as canning in the oven and flipping the hot, filled jars instead of using a water bath canner. Are there reasons why I shouldn't use these canning recipes?
When it comes to safe methods for canning foods, this is one instance in which modern advice is better than old-time techniques. The best way to be sure your home-canned foods are safe is to use only recipes that you know have been tested and verified safe by food scientists, who have learned a lot about food preservation over the years.
Two top publications are the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture publication, So Easy to Preserve (fifth edition), which includes 184 tested recipes along with complete details for safe home canning, and the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. Another excellent source is Fresh Preserving, a website hosted by the Ball Corp., which manufactures jars and lids for home canning. This website includes more than 200 tested canning recipes.
Safe home canning depends on applying the proper amount of heat to kill microbes, and the amount of heat required depends in part on how the food is prepared, including what sizes the vegetables or fruits are cut into. Tested recipes have been monitored to confirm how much time (and for non-acid foods, how much pressure) is required for the heat to fully penetrate the pieces of food in whatever size jar is being used. Older hand-me-down recipes may not have ever been tested — there's just no way to know. Precise acidity and salt/sugar levels are also important factors, which is further reason to always use recipes that have been tested by food scientists.
Older canning recipes sometimes call for unorthodox practices, such as flipping filled hot jars upside down to allow them to seal, or canning by setting the jars in an oven or out in the sun. Those methods aren't acceptable for several reasons, says food scientist Karen Blakeslee of Kansas State University. While alternative methods may cause the jar to seal, Blakeslee says, they do not guarantee that the food inside has reached the proper temperature for storage.
You can change some things in tested canning recipes, though. "You can typically change spicing, or change the variety of peppers in salsas as long as you use the same amount," Blakeslee says.
When canning fruits, you can reduce or eliminate sugar and can the fruit in water or fruit juice. Artificial sweeteners are not appropriate, however, Blakeslee says — they're not heat-stable and will sometimes make your food bitter. Although the risks are probably low if you were to use your grandmother's recipes, chances are you can find similar tested recipes from the previously mentioned sources.

Would these be the same scientist telling us GMO foods are safe? I think if you follow the directions in your Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving you'll be fine. PS, My grandmother managed not to kill her family using the old jars and methods.
Most counties have a cooperative extension Master Preserver Program which for a nominal fee and some volunteer work will train you in the fine and scientific art of preserving food. The Cooperative Extension/The University of Georgia puts out a book called, SO EASY TO PRESERVE. It has become my preserving bible since 2006. It was definitely worth the money. I also found that book I used for the 30 yrs before the U of GA book, STOCKING UP from Rodale Press followed the correct procedure for nearly everything I can, freeze pickle or dry. I still refer to both as well as checking out the USDA guide. Safe food handling is paramount to my family's health. The love of food preservation keeps me looking for updated ways and new recipes to add to my library. Thanks for this article as well as a big thanks to Dave and Drum Sgt. Beaker for their good advice.

STOCKTON — Police are crediting tips from citizens with safely locating a woman who was reported as the victim of a possible kidnapping earlier in the day in front of the 7-Eleven store in the 2700 block of Country Club Boulevard.
The woman was found unharmed by police and told officers she was in a minor disturbance with her boyfriend.
A witness, supported by surveillance photos, reported at 12:16 p.m. Monday seeing the woman yelling at two men and walking away from the store until one of the men went after her, put his arms around her and walked her to his car, at which point she got into the back seat and the car drove off.

Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MAAC Inc., the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the city of Montevideo and the engineering firm of Rodeberg and Berryman met to discuss the final details of a tentative schedule for the Chippewa River dam removal.
It was decided that the Army Corps of Engineers would throttle down the Lac qui Parle dam for six to eight weeks — except between Aug. 6 and 10 — to allow MAAC Inc. to begin work.
Work will start on the week of July 9, when MAAC Inc. will but a notch in the dam to lower the water level behind it. Then, as water levels decline, they will begin bringing in rocks to build the rapids and destroy the dam bit by bit.
For more on this story and others subscribe or pick up a copy of the Montevideo American-News.

We are holding the first ever runner Karaoke contest... in a small 5K race. So what running tunes get stuck in your head when you run?
Mine is always "Running on Empty" by the Eagles.. Oh the race is "Will Run for Beer" Smuttynose 5K June 22nd in Newmarket NH.
One of my favorites is "How Fast Can You Run" by Rocco DeLuca.
Pink Floyd had at least 2: "On The Run" and "Run like ****" (yes, I know Active is going to censor that one).
How about "Band On the Run" by Wings?
And of course..."Born To Run" by Bruce.
I'm sure there are many others.
Two that are often stuck in my head while running:
"And the Race is On."
"I Think We're Alone Now." ("Running just and fast as we can ....")
(Running) Against the Wind
Run Runaway (Slade)
Take the Money and Run
Run through the Jungle
Run through the Fields (by Nuclear Valdez)

Run Baby Run (Sheryl Crow)
Running with the Devil (Van Halen)
and of course, Born to Run!
Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
The Distance - Cake
It's a Long Way to the Top - AC/DC
Is "Running on Empty" a title, or just in the words of an older song?
"My little run-around"?
The Runer- Manfred Man, redone by Ian Thomas
I love listening to music when I run and when warming up. My favorite "Running" tune is "Born To Run" by Emmylou Harris and it is not the same "Born To Run" by Springsteen, which is a good song as well, but you have to take a listen to this one by Emmylou Harris. When I hear it, it sparks something inside me and speeds me up.
I have a "Running" list saved to my MP3 player, which has more than five songs but I will share them.
Running on Empty - Jackson Brown
Run, Runaway - Slade
Runaway - Bon Jovi
Running Down a Dream - Tom Petty
I Ran - Flock of Seagulls
Who Will You Run To - Heart
Run To You - Bryan Adams
(Nothing's Gonna) Break My Stride - Matthew Wilder
Eagles Fly - Sammy Hagar
Winning - Santana
New Attitude - Patti LaBelle
Again, I highly recommend Emmylou Harris's "Born To Run"
My fav is "Roadrunner" by Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers...and oldie but goodie, and a great running song.
Take It On The Run- REO Speedwagon
Run For Cover- Quiet Riot
Don't Run Wild- Del Fuegos
I'm a day late and a dollar short but here goes:
Rabbit Run - Eminem
Runnin with the Devil - Van Halen

"The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner" by Iron Maiden
The tough of the trackWith the wind and the rain that's beating down on your backYour heart's beating loud and goes onGetting louder and goes on even more'Til the sound is ringing in your headWith every step you treadAnd every breath you takeDetermination makes you run never stopGot to win got to run 'til you dropKeep the pace, hold the raceYour mind is getting clearerYou're over halfway thereBut the miles they never seem to endAs if you're in a dreamNot getting anywhere, it seems so futile
Run on and onRun on and onThe loneliness of the long distance runner
I've got to keep running the courseI've got to keep running and win at all costsI've got to keep going be strongMust be so determined and push myself on
Run over stiles across fields, turn to look at who's on your heelsWay ahead of the field, the line is getting nearer but do you want the glory that goesYou reach the final stretch, ideals are just a traceYou feel like throwing the race, it's all so futile
Run on and onRun on and onThe loneliness of the long distance runner
Run on and onRun on and onThe loneliness of the long distance runner
Run - Gnarles Barkley, couldn't even tell you what the message is - but the beat is excellent!

I have a hopefully simple question. Whenever I check the "Show ITunes library" checkbox on the PMS Navigation/Share Settings tab, the PMS Server seems to hang and I can never get it to work. On the PMS Logs tab, I'll see "Start building iTunes folder..." but then it will either hang or just show that message forever. Everything works fine if I uncheck that box for both video and audio streaming, but it would be much easier to navigate if I my iTunes library was visible. Without it, I just have to manually navigate through my music drive to the artist folder I'm looking for each time.
My iTunes library is about 80000 songs / 700 GB, which is good size but I'm sure there are much bigger out there. Is there anyone who has come across this issue? Do I just need to let it run overnight and build that file? Or allocate more memory somehow for the PMS?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
