William Golding
Sir William Golding (19 September 1911 – 19 June 1993) was an English novelist and poet. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.
- The Herr Doctor does not know about peoples.
- Free Fall (1959), last line
- The man who tells the tale if he has a tale worth telling will know exactly what he is about and this business of the artist as a sort of starry-eyed inspired creature, dancing along, with his feet two or three feet above the surface of the earth, not really knowing what sort of prints he's leaving behind him, is nothing like the truth.
- Interview with Frank Kermode, BBC Third Programme (28 August 1959)
- Basically I'm an optimist. Intellectually I can see man's balance is about fifty-fifty, and his chances of blowing himself up are about one to one. I can't see this any way but intellectually. I'm just emotionally unable to believe that he will do this. This means that I am by nature an optimist and by intellectual conviction a pessimist, I suppose.
- Interview with James Keating, Purdue University (10 May 1962), printed in Lord of the Flies: The Casebook Edition (1964)
- The very day after I learned that I was the laureate for literature for 1983 I drove into a country town and parked my car where I should not. I only left the car for a few minutes but when I came back there was a ticket taped to the window. A traffic warden, a lady of a minatory aspect, stood by the car. She pointed to a notice on the wall. "Can't you read?" she said. Sheepishly I got into my car and drove very slowly round the corner. There on the pavement I saw two county policemen.
I stopped opposite them and took my parking ticket out of its plastic envelope. They crossed to me. I asked if, as I had pressing business, I could go straight to the Town Hall and pay my fine on the spot. "No, sir," said the senior policeman, "I'm afraid you can't do that." He smiled the fond smile that such policemen reserve for those people who are clearly harmless if a bit silly. He indicated a rectangle on the ticket that had the words 'name and address of sender' printed above it. "You should write your name and address in that place," he said. "You make out a cheque for ten pounds, making it payable to the Clerk to the Justices at this address written here. Then you write the same address on the outside of the envelope, stick a sixteen penny stamp in the top right hand corner of the envelope, then post it. And may we congratulate you on winning the Nobel Prize for Literature."
- The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he's written it.
- As quoted in Novelists in Interview (1985) edited by John Haffenden
- Reason, when it is refined into logic, has something to offer but only in terms of itself and depends for its effect and use on the nature of the premise. That useful argument as to how many angels can stand on the point of a needle would turn into nothing without the concept of angels. I took a further step into my new world. I formulated what I had felt against a mass of reasonable evidence and saw that to explain the near infinite mysteries of life by scholastic Darwinism, by the doctrine of natural selection, was like looking at a sunset and saying "Someone has struck a match". As for Freud, the reductionism of his system made me remember the refrain out of Marianna in Moated Grande — "He cometh not, she said, she said I am aweary aweary, O God that I were dead!". This was my mind, not his, and I had a right to it....
We question free will, doubt it, dismiss it, experience it. We declare our own triviality on a small speck of dirt circling a small star at the rim of one countless galaxies and ignore the heroic insolence of the declaration. We have diminished the world of God and man in a universe ablaze with all the glories that contradict that diminution.
Of man and God. We have come to it, have we not? I believe in God; and you may think to yourselves — here is a man who has left a procession and gone off by himself only to nd with another gasfilled image he towns round with him at the end of the rope. You would be right of course. I suffer those varying levels or intensities of belief which are, it seems, the human condition. Despite the letters I still get from people who believe me to be still alive and who are deceived by the air of confident authority that seems to stand behind that first book, Lord of the Flies, nevertheless like everyone else I have had to rely on memories of moments, bet on what once seemed a certainty but may now be an outsider, remember in faith what I cannot recreate.
- Belief and Creativity, Hamburg; 11 April 1980; as quoted in Moving Target (2013), Faber & Faber ISBN 9780571265473
- "The overall intention may be stated simply enough. Before the second world war I believed in the perfectibility of social man.... but after the war I did not because I was unable to. I had discovered what one man could do to another... I must say that anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head... I am thinking of the vileness beyond all words that went on, year after year, in the totalitarian states. It is bad enough to say that so many Jews were exterminated in this way and that, so many people liquiidated - lovely, elegant word - but there were things done during that period from which I still have to avert my mind less I should be physically sick. They were not done by the headhunters of New Guinea or by some prmitive tribe in the Amazon. They were done, skillfully, coldly, by educated men, doctors, lawyers, by men with a tradition of civilization behind them, to beings of their own kind.
My own conviction grew that what had happened was that men were putting the cart before the horse. They were looking at the system rather than the people. It seemed to me that man's capacity for greed, his innate cruelty and selfishness, was being hidden behind a kind of pair of political pants. I believed then, that man was sick—not exceptional man, but average man. I believed that the condition of man was to be a morally diseased creation and that the best job I could do at the time was to trace the connection between his diseased nature and the international mess he gets himself into. To many of you, this will seem trite, obvious, and familiar in theological terms. Man is a fallen being. He is gripped by original sin. His nature is sinful and his state is perilous. I acccept the theology and admit the triteness; but what is trite is true; and a truism can become more than a truism when it is a belief passionately held....
I can say in America what I should not like to say at home; which is that I condemn and detest my country's faults precisely because I am so proud of her many virtues. One of our faults is to believe that evil is somewhere else and inherent in another nation. My book was to say you think that now the war is over and an evil thing destroyed, you are safe because you are naturally kind and decent. But I know why the thin rose in Germany. I know it could it could happen in any country. It could happen here."
- On the meaning behind Lord of the Flies, from his essay "Fable" (The Hot Gates, pp.85 -86)
Lord of the Flies (1954)Edit
- "Aren't there any grownups at all?"
"I don't think so."
The fair boy said this solemnly; but then the delight of a realized ambition overcame him. In the middle of the scar he stood on his head and grinned at the reversed fat boy.
"No grownups!"
- Ch. 1: The Sound of the Shell
- "Aren't you going to swim?"
Piggy shook his head.
"I can't swim. I wasn't allowed. My asthma—"
"Sucks to your ass-mar!"
Piggy bore this with a kind of humble patience.
- Ch. 1: The Sound of the Shell
- "We can use this to call the others. Have a meeting. They'll come when they hear us—"
He beamed at Ralph.
"That was what you meant, didn't you? That's why you got the conch out of the water."
Ralph pushed back his fair hair.
"How did your friend blow the conch?"
"He kind of spat," said Piggy. "My auntie wouldn't let me blow on account of my asthma. He said you blew from down here." Piggy laid a hand on his jutting abdomen. "You try, Ralph. You'll call the others."
Doubtfully, Ralph laid the small end of the shell against his mouth and blew. There came a rushing sound from its mouth but nothing more. Ralph wiped the salt water off his lips and tried again, but the shell remained silent.
"He kind of spat."
Ralph pursed his lips and squirted air into the shell, which emitted a low, farting noise. This amused both boys so much that Ralph went on squirting for some minutes, between bouts of laughter.
"He blew from down here."
Ralph grasped the idea and hit the shell with air from his diaphragm. Immediately the thing sounded. A deep, harsh note boomed under the palms, spread through the intricacies of the forest and echoed back from the pink granite of the mountain. Clouds of birds rose from the treetops, and something squealed and ran in the undergrowth.
- Ch. 1: The Sound of the Shell
- "You couldn't have a beastie, a snake-thing, on an island this size," Ralph explained kindly. "You only get them in big countries, like Africa, or India."
Murmur; and the grave nodding of heads.
"He says the beastie came in the dark."
"Then he couldn't see it!"
Laughter and cheers.
"Did you hear that? Says he saw the thing in the dark—"
"He still says he saw the beastie. It came and went away again an' came back and wanted to eat him."
"He was dreaming."
Laughing, Ralph looked for confirmation round the ring of faces. The older boys agreed; but here and there among the little ones was the doubt that required more than rational assurance.
"He must have had a nightmare. Stumbling about among all those creepers."
More grave nodding. They knew about nightmares.
"He says he saw the beastie, the snake-thing, and will it come back tonight?"
"But there isn't a beastie!"
"He says in the morning it turned into them things like ropes in the trees and hung in the branches. He says will it come back again tonight?"
"But there isn't a beastie!"
There was no laughter at all now and more grave watching. Ralph pushed both hands through his hair and looked at the little boy in mixed amusement and exasperation.
- Ch. 2: Fire on the Mountain
- Ralph waved the conch.
"Shut up! Wait! Listen!"
He went on in the silence, borne on in his triumph.
"There's another thing. We can help them to find us. If a ship comes near the island they may not notice us. So we must make smoke on top of the mountain. We must make a fire."
"A fire! Make a fire!"
At once half the boys were on their feet. Jack clamored among them, the conch forgotten.
"Come on! Follow me!"
The space under the palm trees was full of noise and movement. Ralph was on his feet too, shouting for quiet, but no one heard him. All at once the crowd swayed toward the island and was gone— following Jack. Even the tiny children went and did their best among the leaves and broken branches. Ralph was left, holding the conch, with no one but Piggy.
- Ch. 2: Fire on the Mountain
- "How can you expect to be rescued if you don't put first things first and act proper?"
- Ch. 3: Huts on a Beach
- The chant was audible but at that distance still wordless. Behind Jack walked the twins, carrying a great stake on their shoulders. The gutted carcass of a pig swung from the stake, swinging heavily as the twins toiled over the uneven ground. The pig's head hung down with gaping neck and seemed to search for something on the ground. At last the words of the chant floated up to them, across the bowl of blackened wood and ashes.
"Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Spill the blood!"
Yet as the words became audible, the procession reached the steepest part of the mountain, and in a minute or two the chant had died away.
- Ch. 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair
- His mind was crowded with memories; memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.
- Ch. 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair.
- Jack stood up as he said this, the bloodied knife in his hand. The two boys faced each other. There was the brilliant world of hunting, tactics, fierce exhilaration, skill; and there was the world of longing and baffled common-sense.
- Ch. 4: Painted Faces and Long Hair
- "The rules!" shouted Ralph, "you're breaking the rules!"
"Who cares?"
Ralph summoned his wits.
"Because the rules are the only thing we've got!"
But Jack was shouting against him.
"Bollocks to the rules! We're strong — we hunt! If there's a beast, we'll hunt it down! We'll close in and beat and beat and beat — !"
- Ch. 5: Beast from Water
- "I'm scared of him," said Piggy, "and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's alright really, an' then when you see him again; it's like asthma an' you can't breath. I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph —"
"Me? Why me?"
"I dunno. You got him over the fire; an' you're chief an' he isn't."
"But he's Jack Merridew!"
"I been in bed so much I done some thinking. I know about people. I know about me. And him. He can't hurt you: but if you're standing out of the way he'd hurt the next thing. And that's me."
"Piggy's right, Ralph. There's you and Jack. Go on being chief."
- Ch. 5: Beast from Water
- However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick.
- Ch. 6: Beast from Air.
- "You want a pig," said Roger, "like in a real hunt."
"Or someone to pretend," said Jack. "You could get someone to dress up as a pig and then he could act — you know, pretend to knock me over and all that —"
"You want a real pig," said Robert, still caressing his rump, "because you've got to kill him."
"Use a littlun," said Jack, and everybody laughed.
- Ch. 7: Shadows and Tall Trees
- Jack was on top of the sow, stabbing downward with his knife. Roger found a lodgment for his point and began to push till he was leaning his whole weight. The spear moved forward inch by inch and the terrified squealing became a high-pitched scream. Then Jack found the throat and the hot blood spouted over his hands. The sow collapsed under them and they were heavy and fulfilled upon her. The butterflies still danced, preoccupied in the center of the clearing.
- Ch. 8: Gift for the Darkness
- He paused and stood up, looking at the shadows under the trees. His voice was lower when he spoke again.
"But we'll leave part of the kill for …"
He knelt down again and was busy with his knife. The boys crowded round him. He spoke over his shoulder to Roger.
"Sharpen a stick at both ends."
Presently he stood up, holding the dripping sow's head in his hands.
"Where's that stick?"
"Ram one end in the earth. Oh — it's rock. Jam it in that crack. There."
Jack held the head and jammed the soft throat down on the pointed end of the stick which pierced through into the mouth. He stood back and the head hung there, a little blood dribbling down the stick."
Instinctively the boys drew back too; and the forest was very still. They listened, and the loudest noise was the buzzing of the flies over the spilled guts."
- Ch. 8: Gift for the Darkness
- Simon's head was tilted slightly up. His eyes could not break away and the Lord of the Flies hung in space before him.
"What are you doing out here all alone? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Simon shook.
"There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast."
Simon's mouth labored, brought forth audible words.
"Pig's head on a stick."
"Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! You knew, didn't you?" said the head. For a moment or two the forest and all the other dimly appreciated places echoed with the parody of laughter. "You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are what they are?"
- Ch. 8: Gift for the Darkness
- "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood! Do him in!"
- Ch. 9: A View to a Death
- Ralph heard the great rock long before he saw it. He was aware of a jolt in the earth that came to him through the soles of his feet, and the breaking sound of stones at the top of the cliff. Then the monstrous red thing bounded across the neck and he flung himself flat while the tribe shrieked.
The rock struck Piggy a glancing blow from chin to knee; the conch exploded into a thousand white fragments and ceased to exist. Piggy, saying nothing, with no time for even a grunt, travelled through the air sideways from the rock, turning over as he went. The rock bounded twice and was lost in the forest. Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across that square, red rock in the sea. His head opened and stuff came out and turned red. Piggy's arms and legs twitched a bit, like a pig's after it has been killed. Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone.
This time the silence was complete. Ralph's lips formed a word but no sound came.
Suddenly Jack bounded out from the tribe and began screaming wildly.
"See? See? That's what you'll get! I meant that! There isn't a tribe for you any more! The conch is gone —"
He ran forward, stooping.
"I'm Chief!"
- Ch. 11: Castle Rock - The first edition used the term "painted niggers", later editions changed this to "painted savages" or "painted Indians".
- What was the sensible thing to do?
There was no Piggy to talk sense. There was no solemn assembly for debate nor dignity of the conch.
- Ch. 12: The Cry of the Hunters
- His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.
- Ch. 12: The Cry of the Hunters
Pincher Martin (1956)Edit
- I will tell you what man is. He is a freak, an ejected foetus robbed of his natural development, thrown out into the world with a naked covering of parchment, with too little room for his teeth and a soft bulging skull like a bubble. But nature stirs a pudding there...
- p. 190, as cited in Josipovici, Gabriel. The World and the Book: A Study of Modern Fiction. London: Stanford University Press. p. 243. ISBN 0-8047-0797-9.
The Hot Gates (1965)Edit
- Before the Second World War I believed in the perfectibility of social man; that a correct structure of society would produce goodwill; and that therefore you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society... but after the war I did not because I was unable to. I had discovered what one man could do to another... I must say that anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey must have been blind or wrong in the head.
- "Fable", p. 87

Burroughs High School Workability Program students got a firsthand look at the life of a firefighter Wednesday when they visited Kern County Fire Department Station 74.
"We gave them a tour of the station. We showed them where we live and eat," said Firefighter Matt Bennitt.
He also talked to the students about the process to become a firefighter and what it takes.
"They asked a few questions about some of the stuff, and we went into detail on some of their questions," he said.
The students then received a thorough tour of the engine, were showed the equipment firefighters use along with the clothing they wear and the students were told how much all of the gear weighs.
Bennitt also took the students for a ride around the station in the engine. He said a few of the students showed an interest in becoming firefighters.
Workability Coordinator Esther Sires said these activities help prepare students for the world of work.
"We work on transition and career development," she said.
Sires said the students' individual education plans state they have to be prepared for the world of work when they are 14 years old.
"We do field trips. We have speakers come into the classroom," she said. "We basically train them on how to be prepared for the world of work."

9.2 Introduction to Burglary
Burglary is not strictly a crime against property. See State v. MacFarlane, 188 Conn. 542, 553 (1982) (burglary entails a risk to persons who may be in a building). "It is clear from . . . the comments by the commission to revise the criminal statutes that the basic rationale underlying the enactment of all of our present burglary statutes was protection against the type of invasion of premises likely to terrorize occupants." State v. Belton, 190 Conn. 496, 506 (1983). "The three degrees of the crime differ only in terms of aggravating factors for which the basic rationale requires different treatment." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Delgado, 19 Conn. App. 245, 254 (1989).
Intent to
commit a crime
The jury does not have to be unanimous as to which specific crime the defendant intended to commit inside the building as long as the defendant had the intent to commit some crime. State v. Luster, 48 Conn. App. 872, 878-79, cert. denied, 246 Conn. 901 (1998). The language "intent to commit a crime therein" does not require that the crime be one against people or property within the building. State v. Wallace, 56 Conn. App. 730, 734-37, cert. denied, 253 Conn. 901 (2000) (defendant unlawfully entered a residence with the intent to evade the police). The Court noted in Wallace, that "the crime of trespass or any other crime related to the breaking and entering actions of burglary itself may not be considered . . . to be a 'crime therein.'" Id., 735 n.7. The "better practice" is to "instruct the jury on the statutory names and definitions of specific crimes for which there was sufficient evidence of an intent to commit." State v. Zayas, 195 Conn. 611, 618 (1985). See also State v. Flowers, 278 Conn. 533, 547 (2006) (court improperly instructed jury that the predicate crime was attempted assault); State v. Russell, 101 Conn. App. 298, 323, cert. denied, 284 Conn. 910 (2007) (violation of a protective order by entering a dwelling is not a legally viable predicate offense for burglary).
Lesser included
Second degree burglary is not a lesser included offense of first degree burglary, because second degree requires that the entry be into a dwelling, while first degree only requires that it be a building. State v. Coleman, 242 Conn. 523, 533 (1997). In State v. Ward, 76 Conn. App. 779, 789-94, cert. denied, 264 Conn. 918 (2003), the Appellate Court distinguished Coleman based on the specificity of the charging documents, holding that second degree burglary could be a lesser included offense of first degree if the charging documents put the defendant on notice that the allegations against him were that he entered a dwelling at night, rather than simply a building.
Burglary in the third degree is a lesser included offense of burglary in the first degree. State v. Grant, 177 Conn. 140, 147 (1979) (the distinguishing factor in first degree is the use of a weapon).
Criminal trespass in the second degree is a lesser included offense of burglary in the second degree with a firearm. State v. White, 97 Conn. App. 763, 780, cert. denied, 280 Conn. 939 (2006) (building for purposes of criminal trespass comes within dwelling for burglary).
Burglary in the first degree and robbery in the first degree are separate offenses. State v. Perez, 78 Conn. App. 610, 638-43, cert. denied, 271 Conn. 901 (2003).
Burglary in the first degree and
criminal trespass in the first degree are separate offenses. State v.
Delgado, supra, 19 Conn. 253-55.

I just bought an IPOD and want to laod it for marathon training. What songs do you like for running? I need about three hours of them.
I think it's kind of fun to run to songs that are either affiliated with running or have "run" (or "walk" or "dance") in the lyrics/title: the theme from Chariots of Fire, Springsteen's Born to Run or Dancing in the Dark, the Proclaimers I Wanna Be (500 Miles), Men at Work's Safety Dance, Pat Benatar's We Belong (watch Talladega Nights if you're wondering about that one!), Eminem's Rabbit Run, Kanye's Jesus Walks.
If you want music with a good beat but without lyrics (sometimes people like lyrics but sometimes people find them distracting), I like the Afro Celt Sound System and Bond.
Someone posted a question about running music a couple weeks back and there were a lot of responses to that. If you can find the question, I'm sure that will give you a lot of ideas. Also, iTunes has a lot of running and workout iMixes. Have fun! (Although you may want to think about using the iPod in the race itself -- lots of discussion about that issue too ...)
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
I start out almost all of my elliptical workouts with AC/DC's "It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Want To Rock And Roll)". I also suggest Cake's "The Distance" and Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills".
"Showdown" - Electric Light Orchestra
"Mad World" - Tears for Fears
"Black Betty" - Ram Jam
"Juke Box Hero" - Foreigner
"No Not Now" - Hot Hot Heat
"Stuck in the Metal" - Eagles of Death Metal
"Fox on the Run" - Sweet
"Blinded by the Light" - Mafred Mann
"Sweet Lullabies" - Jason Michael Clark & Chris Youkum
"You Shook Me All Night Long" - AC/DC
"Back in Black" - AC/DC
"Highway to Hell" - AC/DC
I am an absolute IPOD geek. I have playlists for pretty much every work out I do. I have a lot of them named by either the event I am training for or how long they are. One of the things I have found is to make playlists of my favorite songs. Sometimes I just surf iTunes to find songs I forgot I like. My favorite playlist right now has:
Higher Love - Steve Winwood
Hit me with your best shot - Pat Benatar
Livin La Vida Loca
Hurt so good
The way you move
Check itunes in the Podcast section- there is a great one called Podrunner. It is free to download and, if you like dance type music, it is great. Many of the mixes are at least an hour long.
usually drum & bass or hip hop. occasionally some rock.
I'm a sucker for puck and rockabilly.
i-Tunes also has a few playlists in their "essentials" section that are good compilations. Type in "i-Tunes essentials" in the search bar to find them:
Running through the Hits
Running through the 70s (and 80s, and 90s)
You can look at the lists, and either put them together with your own library, or purchase the setlist from i-tunes. Most have three sets of 25 songs each, for a total of 74-75 songs per list.
Message was edited by: jeffbc94
Personally, like running to Dave Matthews, Dashboard Confessional, Eminem, Fallout Boy, Modest Mouse, Angels & Airwaves, and of course "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project (formerly the opening music for the Chicago Bulls, among others). It's an interesting mix, always changing as I hear new tunes to add to the collection.
If you're a Mac user checkout Tangerine! found at: http://www.potionfactory.com/tangerine/
It will build your playlist based on a time given and look at the beats per minute of songs to give you a playlist that increase/decreases in tempo and feel.
Does this only work with Macs?? Sounds like something I would want to check out, but I only have a PC.
My current running playlist has about 200 songs in it, so I won't list them all.
Here are some of the highlights of a few recent runs:
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Stolen - Dashboard Confessional
Read My Mind - The Killers
Numb - Linkin Park
Wolf Like Me - TV on the Radio
Survivalism - Nine Inch Nails
Keep the Car Running - Arcade Fire
Points of Authority - Angels and Airwaves
Santa Monica - Everclear
Into Your Hideout - Pilot Speed
Signal Fire - Snow Patrol (great interval/fartlek run!)
The Idea of You - Dave Matthews Band
Soldier - Eminem
It Hurts - Angels and Airwaves
The Crane Wife 3 - Decemberists
The Adventure - Angels and Airwaves
Tessie - Dropkick Murphys
I'll post a few more every so often if people are still reading - and I'm always looking for new tunes to add!
Lots of Red Hot Chili Peppers - for whatever reason, their music seems to go along PERFECTLY with every run. Slow, fast, whatever... the energy is just perfect.
the next installment - in case people are still reading!
Square Dance - Eminem
Politik - Coldplay
Powerless (Say What You Want) - Nelly Furtado
Slow Decay - Dashboard Confessional
In the End - Linkin Park
Where the Streets Have No Name- U2
Do It For Me Now - Angels and Airwaves
Move Along - All-American Rejects
God Put a Smile on Your Face - Coldplay
I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys
Everything to Everyone - Everclear
Famous Last Words - My Chemical Romance
Speed of Sound - Coldplay
From the Inside - Linkin Park *great tempo run!
Living in Your Letters - Dashboard Confessional
Dashboard - Modest Mouse
Hailie's Song - Eminem
The Gift - Angels and Airwaves
This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race - Fall Out Boy
Trip Like I Do - Crystal Method
AM Radio - Everclear
Konstantine - Something Corporate
The War - Angels and Airwaves
Such Great Heights - Postal Service
Down - Blink 182
My running playlist is very eclectic, but my favorite to run to (the one I speed up with when I hear it), is definitely 'Apache' by the Sugarhill Gang. Missy Elliot has a nice improv on it called 'We Run This'. I find the title to be appropriate. =)
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

The Port of Oakland has long carried a reputation as a cesspool of recalcitrance, a murky agency populated by arrogant officials who think what they do isn't the public's business.
Port officials are only furthering that repute by refusing to be transparent about $4,500 of public money spent at a Houston strip club.
They're claiming, somehow, that the privacy rights of employees who took your money and stuffed it in G-strings trump the public's right to know. It is hard to think of a more flagrant violation of the Public Records Act, the law meant to provide access to government records.
Only one person, James Kwon, who was reimbursed the money after turning in receipts, has been definitively linked to the scandal.
But like Kwan, Port Director Omar Benjamin is also suspended -- with pay no less -- as what happened in Houston is investigated.
But the port has censored from expense reports and receipts all names other than Kwon's. There is simply no legal justification to this.
Benjamin was in Houston with Kwon to attend a shipping conference.
The scandal broke. He was suspended, with no reason made public.
Names on the documents were whited out to protect someone.
A port spokesman, Isaac Kos-Read, claimed in emails to this newspaper that it's standard policy for the agency to censor all names except that of the person named in a records request. (That's his stated position. You couldn't make it up).
The reason, he claimed, is to protect the privacy of public officials -- apparently no matter what they do.
—... the Port followed a standard protocol of (censoring) the names of all persons that appeared on the requested expense reports other than the names of the subjects of the requests. This approach was taken to comply with the Public Records Act's protection of personal privacy rights."
But public officials have no right to privacy when it comes to their jobs and how they spend public money, especially when it involves $4,000 worth of Houston strippers.
Privacy in our modern age is a myth. You don't have much and neither do I. Government workers like Benjamin, who costs the port more than $300,000 a year to employ, should have less.
A couple of weeks ago, my students at the Berkeley graduate school of journalism were amazed when I showed them Social Security and bank account numbers found in routine public records like court papers and property deeds.
But the very government culture that allows public access to those records are the same ones that crow about privacy rights when it comes to protecting their own from embarrassing information.
There's no higher standard of disclosure of public records than those that show the expenditure of public funds. But the Port of Oakland plays fast and loose with both the truth and the money.
It continues to do so now, considering it's paying Benjamin and Kwon to stay home from work.
Consider the writing of former California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George when he wrote a 7-0 decision that public employees had no privacy right to keep their salaries secret.
"[W]e recognize ... in light of the strong public policy supporting transparency in government, an individual's expectation of privacy in a salary earned in public employment is significantly less than the privacy expectation regarding income earned in the private sector," George wrote.
The same is true for public officials' expense accounts and who's named in them.
George wrote that public employees might have a "reasonable expectation of privacy (depending on) the circumstances." Circumstances involving public money and a strip club aren't even close.
The right to privacy extends to people like Benjamin only when their personal affairs trickle into work: a spouse emails them a grocery list; a government phone's used to call their doctor.
In every instance, the public's right to information to how its money was spent -- and who spent it -- squashes the nonexistent privacy concerns of public officials who are embarrassed by their own conduct.
The port must release uncensored expense records from the strip club immediately and stop hiding behind fictive excuses.

Right now they are unincorporated communities in Columbia County. But Evans and Martinez may become cities. Right now they have a lot of questions about what it means to consolidate.
This plan calls for them to join together as cities under the same Columbia County government. Karen Chrjapin is a manager at Postnet and a member of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. She has a lot of questions.
"I really would need more information about what consolidation would mean for us, what benefits we would get," Karen said.
This is the same question that many are asking in Columbia County. Commission chairman Ron Cross says this is important for Columbia County to grow.
"Sooner or later, Columbia County needs to incorporate and consolidate to get the benefits extended to all other cities in the country," Cross said.
Chairman Cross says these are the benefits: It puts Columbia County on the map and gives it more recognition, it gives them more revenue, more flexibility with how to spend SPLOST funds, and they will get more federal grants.
But Karen Chrjapin has some concerns.
"I know it's unfortunate when you saw the word consolidation. You automatically think of Richmond County and the troubles they've had," Karen said.
Another issue is Grovetown and Harlem. If this passes they won't be able to expand past this boundary anymore. Grovetown and Harlem will both be landlocked.
But Karen says that when it is all said and done, she is behind whatever decision Columbia County makes.
"I believe we have a good group of leaders in Columbia County, and I have confidence they'll do the right thing and take it slow and wait for residents' input before they make a decision," Karen said.
People who live in Columbia County will have plenty of time to give their input. There will be a public meeting Tuesday morning at 7:30 at the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, there people can voice their concerns. The commission will vote that same evening on whether they should continue the consolidation. Certain fees that are attached to utilities will go directly to the consolidated government. They will be able to fund more projects without having to raise taxes. Right now, three other Georgia counties have consolidated government and thirteen others are looking to make the change.

U.S. Navy to Power its Fleet with Biofuels, with Help from the USDA
The U.S. Department of the Navy has set a goal to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels from volatile areas of the world, in part by increasing its use of biofuels. The Navy recently announced five energy targets for the Navy and Marine Corps, and biofuels are a major component of four of those five energy targets. The five goals are: including energy efficiency and the energy footprint in purchasing decisions; by 2012, demonstrating a "Green Strike Group" composed of nuclear vessels and ships powered by biofuels, with a "Great Green Fleet" sailing by 2016 that includes biofuel-powered hybrid electric power systems and aircraft running on biofuels; phasing in flex-fuel, hybrid, and electric vehicles to cut petroleum use in half by 2015 for its fleet of 50,000 non-tactical commercial vehicles; producing at least half of the energy requirements for shore-based installations from alternative sources by 2020, with 50% of all shore-based installations achieving net zero energy use; and meeting half of the Navy's total energy needs for ships, aircraft, tanks, vehicles, and shore installations from alternative sources by 2020. The Navy notes that the costs of transporting fuel has increased exponentially, and in extreme cases, it can cost the Navy up to $400 to deliver a gallon of gasoline to the battlefield.
To meet the Navy's energy goals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Navy are working together to develop advanced biofuels and other renewable energy systems. The USDA and the Navy signed a memorandum of understanding on January 21 in pursuit of that goal, and the two departments held an energy forum on April 6 in Honolulu, Hawaii, to advance their partnership. As a result, the USDA's Agricultural Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, and the University of Hawaii have agreed to work with the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company on Maui to develop decision tools to assess the most sustainable opportunities for producing advanced biofuels and renewable electricity from sugarcane and other biomass crops grown in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company is Hawaii's largest agricultural operation and its last sugar plantation. See the press releases from the Navy and the USDA.

Richard Littlemore | February 4, 2010
By Richard Littlemore • Thursday, February 4, 2010 - 08:24
David Douglass and John Christy (inset) are lousy scientists who flee from structured, peer-reviewed debate and then generously misrepresent the facts in opinion pieces published by ideologically driven websites; at least, that's the inevitable conclusion from an open letter (attached) from Lawrence Livermore National Lab scientist Ben Santer.
Santer is more measured in his language and criticism. He doesn't call Douglass et al "lousy scientists," but he points out with great care that their science is lousy. In particular, a paper that they had written in the International Journal of Climatology with B.D. Pearson and S. Fred Singer was flawed by a statistical error so egregious that it should never have seen the light of day.
After a writing team led by Santer ripped the article apart – carefully, methodically – Douglass and Christy howled about imagined censorship and manipulation in scientific publishing, but made no actual effort to respond in the journal in question, preferring to take their complaints to websites where no one would double-check their facts.
Now, they have used the theft of the East Anglia emails to revive their complaints, wondering aloud on the right-wingy website American Thinker about whether there is A Climatology Conspiracy?
The argument is pathetic. Subjected to criticism for poor quality work, Douglass, et al, fail to respond to the criticism and then claim a conspiracy to keep them silent. And the consistently unreliable Dr. S. Fred Singer, is now nowhere to be seen, regardless that he was only too happy to earn a publishing credit by lending his name to the original article, and who publicized it in a U.S. National Press Club conference announcing, "Nature rules the climate: Human-produced greenhouse gases are not responsible for global warming."
This is yet one more example of how the denierguys have used, and will continue to use, the emails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit at the East Anglia University in Norwich, UK. They will scramble out of their holes, take a couple of cheap shots, declare climate science mortally wounded and then, just at the point they might otherwise have adduced evidence, they will disappear. Would that those intervals were longer.
Richard, do you have evidence
Richard, do you have evidence John Cristy is a lousy scientists or is it simply because he deviates from AGW orthodoxy?
If American Thinker isn't to your liking, take a peek at the very left-leaning Guardian. Their commentary the last several days, including from climate scientists and advocate such as George Monbiot, has been highly critical of the IPCC and of several prominent climate scientists. It's worth a read.
Both sides of an issue
It is interesting as a chapter author for BAMS State of the Climate, to read the sections prepared in part by Christy, and compare to his rhetoric noted in his linked post here and the publication Douglass and Christy. In BAMS 2008 report Christy is co-author of two sections, page 19-21. Which is immediately followed by a special section page 22-23:
Do global temperature trends over the last decade falsify climate predictions?—J. Knightht, J. J. Kennededy, C. Folllland, G. Harris, G. S. Joneses, M. Palmelmelmer, D. Parkeker, A. Scaifefe, and P. Stott
The 2009 report will be interesting to see for the same sections will be co-authored by Christy.
Actually it isn't a surprise to find out that American Thinker is an oxymoron. And a trainwreck of tortured teabaggery.
After reading most of the article it's not surprising that it was publshed by AT, nobody else would touch. The only surprise was that D&G didn't come up with a moniker like "The Scam Protection Team."
Damn, now I'm giving them ideas…

Historical society to induct four to its Hall of Fame
6 A cowboy, a judge, an avocado grower and a Russian immigrant — each of whom were key characters in the region's history — will be this year's inductees to the Vista Historical Society's Hall of Fame.
The four individuals were chosen by a selection committee to be inducted to the Hall of Fame's Early Residents Division, which honors people who made significant contributions to Vista and who have since died, said Jack Larimer, director of the historical society's museum.
"These are all people who were instrumental in Vista during their time," Larimer said.
The inductees are Judge Leon Bone, avocado grower Robert Elsinger, cowboy Tom Ramoss and Russian immigrant John Slivkoff.
Bone was not only a judge, but in 1911 he was also one of the nation's first FBI agents, Larimer said. The Vista museum has a letter from former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover thanking Bone for his 25 years of service. The judge, who died in 1962, also wrote science fiction and poetry.
Elsinger owned avocado groves in Escondido, Fallbrook and Vista. He owned one of the first packing plants in Vista, Larimer said. Elsinger, who died in 1978, and other members of his family are portrayed in the "Journey Through Time" mural in downtown Vista.
A fifth-generation Californian, Ramoss was a well-known horse trainer in North County, Larimer said. In 1922, at age 17, Ramoss started working as a wrangler on the Rancho Santa Margarita y Las Flores, now Camp Pendleton, and became head cowboy, responsible for driving 50,000 cattle on the property.
In 1929, Hollywood came calling and Ramoss was cast as a cowboy in the western "In Old Arizona," according to a San Diego Union-Tribune story published in 2008. Ramoss, who died in 1982, also owned a horse ranch that specialized in champion-class Arabians.
Slivkoff arrived in Vista 1917. He emigrated from his native Russia in 1911. His family first went to Germany and later sailed for Mexico and landed in Veracruz, according to an obituary published in the San Diego Union in 1984.
The Slivkoff family went to Valley de Guadalupe, near Ensenada, Baja California, where they settled briefly in a Russian colony. Slivkoff lived in Los Angeles and Carlsbad before settling in Vista, where he became a lifelong farmer.
An induction ceremony and luncheon will be held May 18 at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Resort. Tickets for the event cost $25 and are available through the Vista Historical Society, (760) 630-0444.

Study: Doctor's weight may influence obesity diagnosis
A survey of 500 primary care physicians around the country reveals that doctors considered overweight or obese were much less likely to diagnose obese patients than physicians at a more "normal" weight.
Doctors with a normal BMI (18.5-25) were more likely to discuss weight loss with obese patients (30% vs 18%), give advice on diet (53% vs 37%), and exercise (56% vs 38%). The study, published in Obesity, also revealed that the probability of normal BMI physicians recording an obesity diagnosis for a patient was 93 percent and only 7 percent for overweight or obese doctors.
High heels may cause muscle damage
A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology finds that wearing high heels may lead to damage of the calf muscles.
The study included women, teens to early 30s, who had worn high heels for at least 40 hours a week for a minimum of two years. The control group consisted of women who rarely or never wore heels. The research team used ultrasound probes, electrodes, and motion-capture markers to monitor the participants as they walked barefoot and then in heels down a 26 ft long walkway.
The findings suggest that women in high heels walked with shorter and more forceful strides (even in bare feet), engaging their muscles instead of their tendons, potentially leaving them more vulnerable to injury and muscle fatigue.
People may fib more when texting
New research published in the Journal of Business Ethics shows that people may lie more frequently when text messaging.
Participants consisted of 170 business students conducting fake stock trades in person, by video, or through text. Once trades were completed, the buyers were asked if their brokers had engaged in any deceit. After examining which brokers were considered liars, the researchers examined which form of communication was used to make the trade.
It was revealed that buyers who received information through text messages were 95 percent more likely to report a deception than if they had communicated through video. They were also 31 percent more likely to report that they were deceived than those who made the transaction face-to-face and 18 percent more likely than those who had an audio chat.
The researchers note that texting involves less scrutiny than communication methods such as video, where participants may suffer from "spotlight effect".

Some duck hunters have an almost forlorn attitude about the late season. The excitement of the early season has come and gone. Hunters' energy is waning. The big pushes of new ducks have mostly occurred, and those birds hanging around have seen and heard it all. This is why many hunters get the notion that the late season is just something to endure to finish the marathon.
But nothing could be more wrong. The truth is, the last few weeks of the season can offer some great shooting—perhaps the best of the year. Yes, conditions have changed. Many ducks have become hunter-savvy and hard to work. Still, these birds have feeding and mating urgencies in the late season that make them vulnerable to hunters who employ strategies to match this special time.
By learning about duck behavior in deep winter and tailoring your hunting tactics accordingly, you can sprint to the finish line instead of dragging across it. Truly, the late season can be a time of excitement and bounty instead of exhausted resignation that the end is finally at hand.
In late winter, most puddle ducks change their behavior patterns in response to the mating urge that grows stronger as their northward migration approaches. By early winter, many mallards have established pair bonds for the spring nesting season. So, by January their daily patterns are influenced more by the need to maintain pair bonds, obtain food, and build energy reserves than by the drive to find a mate.
"Paired ducks shun large groups of their own kind in traditional feeding areas. Instead, these birds tend to shift into shrub/scrub habitat—thick cover where they can isolate themselves," says Dale Humburg, chief biologist for Ducks Unlimited. "Typical places would be swamps with button bush, willow, and other dense vegetation."

"D" color diamond engagement ring, which Paul Soentgen gave Virginia in 1991, and which retails today at somewhere around &$ 34,000 thousand dollars, and Virginia's most valuable marterial and sentimental possession that was quite literally stolen by attorney William C. Costopoulos, who for the collateral of this ring, and for $ 5,000 thousand dollars, would file delibertely dead-on-arrival Petitions of Allowance of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, both based on absure sufficiency of the evidence arguments, when Mr. Costopoulos had a sea of appeal winning issues including attorney disloyalty by Samuel C. Stretton, and double jeopardy level prosecutorial and judicial misconduct just to name a few. Mr. Costopoulos told Paul and Virginia Soentgen after accepting Virginia's diamond ring as collateral that Mr. Costopoulos thought the double jeopardy argument was the best we had; nevertheless, Mr. Costopoulos filed his fraudulent Petitions without any mention of double jeopardy or attorney disloyalty. Shame and Dishonor on you -----------Mr. Costopoulos, who filed the most famous double jeopardy argument on appeal in Pa. History, Commonweath v. Smith, which is the reason Paul and Virginia Soentgen hired Mr. Costopoulos. ------------------"Don't dare sell this ring Bill, we will get it back!"

SANTA CLARA -- A decade after last playing at Candlestick Park on his 30th birthday, Terrell Owens will return Sunday as the 49ers' honorary game captain.
Owens, the 49ers' second-most prolific receiver all-time behind Jerry Rice, will be on hand to commemorate his January 1999 playoff heroics as part of the team's "Farewell Candlestick" campaign.
Owens played for the 49ers from 1996-2003 before a convoluted trade that sent him to the Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons. He last played in 2010 with the Cincinnati Bengals. His other career stops were with the Dallas Cowboys (2006-08) and Buffalo Bills (2009).
A six-time Pro Bowler, Owens ranks second in the 49ers record book for receptions (592), receiving yards (8,572), 100-yard receiving games (25), 1,000-yard receiving seasons (5) and receiving touchdowns (81). His 15,934 career receiving yards rank second in NFL history behind Rice (22,895), and his 153 touchdown catches are third behind Rice (197) and Randy Moss (156).
In what's called "The Catch II" in 49ers lore, Owens snagged a 25-yard touchdown pass from Steve Young to defeat the Green Bay Packers 30-27 in a Jan. 3, 1999 NFC wild-card playoff game. Owens turns 40 on Dec. 7.

I'm trying to remember Jesus. Not that I've ever really forgotten him. But there once was a time when he was my first and highest thought.
There once was a time when my relationship with him took priority and precedence over everything else.
Somewhere, sometime, somehow in the past 30 years I pushed him aside, although that sounds harsh, a violent, one-time shove.
I think it was more of a gradual crowding out by all the other stuff in my life, like a well-worn pair of pants that gets relegated to the back of the closet. Not tossed out, just pushed aside.
Kentucky Christian School's fifth grade Sonbeams recently gathered much needed items for the Galilean Home in Liberty. Pictured is the third grade class with the donated items. Fourth and fifth grade students personally delivered the items on Wednesday, Dec. 16. This is part of the students' mission project for the month of December.
Kentucky Christian School recently celebrated Pastor Appreciation Day. More than 30 pastors were in attendance. Pictured are Jason Fox, associate pastor at Living Grace Church; Larken Floyd, third grade student; and Phillip Kelley, senior pastor at Living Grace Church.
Campbellsville University recently added a chapter of Theta Alpha Kappa, a national honor society for students in religious studies and theology programs, and inducted 12 students and three faculty moderators.
To be eligible, students must have a 3.5 grade point average in religious studies and/or theology and a 3.0 GPA overall. Residency, class ranking and unit requirements must also be met.
My usual church time is the Saturday night service. If I do go to church on Sunday, I prefer going at 9 a.m.
A few weeks ago, however, I went to the later Sunday morning service because I was meeting someone afterward for a newspaper story I was working on.
On Saturday nights, I like to watch the sky through the giant arched window above the stage area in the sanctuary. At this time of year, the sun sets while church is going on and dusk is gorgeous, with the sky changing from blue to amber to black.
Campbellsville Baptist Church will present "The Ornament" on Sunday morning during its 8:30 and 11 a.m. worship services.
"The Ornament" delves into the lives of a loving, faithful - but dysfunctional - family dealing with issues during the holiday season. As they maneuver issues of unemployment, an uncertain future, death of a loved one and divorce, they find that God can speak through the most unlikely source and give a true message of hope and strength.
Campbellsville University Christian Women's Job Corps was honored with the 2009 CWJC Site award, which carries a grant to help expand its ministry.
Joy Bolton, executive director/treasurer of Kentucky Women's Missionary Union, presented the award on behalf of the WMU Foundation to Edwina Rowell, site coordinator, during Kentucky Baptist Convention's annual meeting at Severns Valley Baptist Church in Elizabethtown on Nov. 10.
Campbellsville Christian Church will host the Festival of Christmas on Dec. 12-13.
"The Spirit of Christmas Past" will be presented by the SonLight Kids at 6 p.m. followed by "A Baby Changes Everything," presented by the adult choir at 7:30 p.m.
Both programs will be in the church sanctuary. There will be an intermission with refreshments provided in the Family Life Center.
A traditional Christmas Eve service will be at 11 p.m. in the church sanctuary. A celebration of Christ will be offered through carols, communion and candles.
The week prior to Thanksgiving, my church participated in a week of hunger.
The plan was to eat only beans, rice and tortillas for five days to experience what a huge percentage of people around the world eat all the time.
Then we were to take the money we would've spent on food and donate it to help feed orphans in Haiti. In addition, after a shortened worship service, we would be dismissed early to go grocery shopping to buy food items to benefit local food pantries.
(Note: This is my annual Thanksgiving psalm.)
Merciful God,
Every year at this time as I start to pen a psalm of Thanksgiving, I'm never quite sure where to begin or even how to approach you.
I have so little to lay at your feet. No grand deeds, no souls saved because of something I've said or done. Truth is, I'm feeling empty-handed and ashamed, aware of my unworthiness, yet confident of your great mercy.
O, how I cherish your mercy!

text: I have a new trilogy coming out next year, called The Mirage Makers. Book one is entitled Heart of the Mirage and book 3 is Song of the Shiver Barrens. The title of book 2, though, has been giving me problems. The only thing I can come up with is Exaltarch. It suits the storyline ...but I am worried that it may be hard to remember or pronounce, or simply that it means nothing to a reader and therefore won't be memorable. Any comments? What does it suggest to you?

Two Enterprise brothers have been arrested and are in the Geneva County Jail.
Authorities said the men may be responsible for a half-dozen home invasions across the Wiregrass.
Twenty-one-year-old Christopher Dalrymple and 18-year-old John Dalrymple are each charged with two counts of burglary and two counts of theft of merchandise.
They're each being held under $80,000 bond.
Geneva County Sheriff Greg Ward credits the quick actions of a victim for helping break the case. The individual was able to get the license plate number of the suspect's vehicle.
Ward said early estimates place the value of the items stolen at more than $70,000.
The brothers are also being looked at for similar break-ins in both Coffee and Dale Counties.
Because of the upcoming holiday season, Ward expects similar crimes to happen. He is encouraging people to lock their doors and windows and to watch out for any suspicious individuals or activities in the neighborhoods.

An Eldon teen has died as a result of a rollover accident in Miller County Sunday morning. Shawn Moore, 19, was driving a 1998 Chevrolet on Highway 52 near Dry Creek Road when the vehicle traveled off the left side of the road, struck the ground and overturned, striking a parked vehicle. During the collision, Moore was partially ejected from the vehicle. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene by Miller County Coroner Rick Callahan shortly before 9 a.m.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol accident report, Moore was not wearing a seat belt.
A passenger, Jimmy Phillips, 22, also of Eldon, was wearing a seat belt, but sustained serious injuries in the wreck. He was taken to Lake Regional Hospital for treatment.

The Stanford men's and women's basketball teams both will be hosting the 2014 NCAA champions next season.
The Connecticut women will visit Maples Pavilion for a Nov. 17 game. The 6 p.m. tipoff will be shown on ESPN.
Connecticut's men's team will play the Cardinal on Jan. 17. It also will be shown on ESPN with a tip time to be announced.
The Stanford and Connecticut women's teams have met 10 times over the past seven seasons, including four times in the Final Four. The Cardinal ended the Huskies' NCAA-record 90-game winning streak on Dec. 30, 2010, at Maples.
The Stanford's men's team defeated Connecticut 53-51 last December in Hartford. That was the Huskies' only nonconference defeat in their championship season.
She is Stanford's second recipient of the award since its inception in 2006. Cross country and track and field standout Arianna Lambie earned the honor in 2008. The Pac-12 Woman of the Year award honors a graduating student-athlete who has distinguished herself throughout her collegiate career in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, community service and leadership.
As the Pac-12 Woman of the Year recipient, Ogwumike has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.
In field event finals, Stanford's three-time Pac-12 women's javelin champion Brianna Brain placed ninth with a top throw of 171 feet, 9 inches, and freshman Dylan Duvio was 17th in the men's pole vault, clearing 17-23/4.
Three Stanford 800-meter runners -- Claudia Saunders (personal best 2:02.68) and Amy Weissenbach among the women and Luke Lefebure among the men -- advanced to the finals.
The Cal men's 4x100-meter relay team of Dan Davis, Tom Blocker, Dash Oliver and Khalfani Muhammad posted a time of 40.17 seconds and did not qualify for the final.
The four-day meet continues Thursday with four Stanford athletes in action: Lucas Rowley in the men's hammer throw trials and final, Valarie Allman in the women's discus trials and final, Michael Atchoo in the men's 1,500 semifinals and Rebecca Mehra in the women's 1,500 semifinals.
Neither Cobbs, formerly of Cal, nor Saint Mary's Holt is projected to be taken in the NBA draft, but this was one more opportunity for exposure on their whirlwind tours through the league.
"I am enjoying it," said Cobbs, the biggest name among six players who got an hour on the court at the Warriors practice facility. "It's something I'm not accustomed to yet -- flying on planes, different cities, different nights."
The Warriors were the eighth team to get a look at Cobbs. He left Oakland on Wednesday afternoon for Washington, D.C., and will work out for the Wizards on Thursday. He has at least four more workouts scheduled before the draft.
"A lot of travel," he said.
Nearly the same pace for Holt, who made the Warriors the fourth club for which he's shown his skills. He was headed to Cleveland immediately afterward for a Thursday session.
"Just getting my feet wet as far as traveling," Holt said. "Going through the process like everyone else. It's been enjoyable, making new friends and trying to make a name for myself."
San Jose Giants
After Kendry Flores pitched seven shutout innings, the San Jose Giants allowed three runs in the eighth and lost 3-1 to the Stockton Ports in a California League game at Municipal Stadium.
Flores allowed five hits and one walk and struck out eight.
The Giants (33-34) scored in the fifth inning when Shawn Payne drew a two-out walk, went to second on a balk and came home on a single by Ben Turner.
The teams play the second game of the four-game series at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Be careful if sharing the app over the LAN, we lost an entire project (as of today the app has not been updated since then).
pretty cool app. use it for keeping track of my simple personal projects
Encrypted projects are a solid idea, but oddly managed. Attached files are referenced from their location on your computer or the internet; why encrypt in the first place? The app tries to balance between being a GTD app and a resource and note manager. In the end, I chose to use a simpler app for task management (Things), and a more general app for resource and note storage (OmniOutliner).
This app strikes the jackpot!
I use this to keep track of software licenses (amongst other things). Attach notes about serial numbers and restrictions etc, attach the products URL, licence keys and even add expiry dates for those with free updates for a limitted time.
