STOCKTON - A man was arrested in connection with the shooting death of his cousin after he turned himself in to authorities Tuesday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
Cristobal Sandoval, 19, was arrested on suspicion of murder with gang enhancements, authorities said. He is being held without bail at the San Joaquin County Jail.
Sandoval was the last outstanding suspect wanted in connection with the March 15 slaying of Danilo Sandoval, a 20-year-old Lodi resident who was gunned down during a shootout at a gas station in Thornton, said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office. Two other men, 22-year-old Anthony Arriaga and 28-year-old Ronald Rodriguez, were arrested on suspicion of murder over the weekend, authorities said. Officials did not disclose additional details about the case and have not specified what roles the men are alleged to have had in the shooting.
Danilo Sandoval was killed and another man critically injured when gunfire erupted at a Chevron gas station in the 9000 block of West Walnut Grove Road in Thornton, officials said. Sandoval was found dead at the scene. The second victim was taken to a hospital to undergo emergency surgery.

Former Motorcare gets new owner
January 18, 2014
The end of December saw the closure of Pike Street business Motorcare Oil and Lubrication Center but there will soon be a similar business operating there again....
Open is better than closed. Usually. Looking forward to this shop showing itself and making its own reputation.

"She has such a good reputation in Portsmouth, we want that to carry over to here" As someone that has been a vendor in this business that is laughable. All one has to do is look up the ratings of her other shop or talk to any of her employees, she is NOT well liked at all. She has no business experience at all, her father started her other shop and her guys run it. From what I understand she isn't planning to keep any of the brands that MotorCare customers have trusted for so many years. On the plus side, she should do a good job keeping Walmart busy.

Learn more about SVB 30 years | 30 causes
You read a lot about the ineffectiveness of kids entering the workforce these days: addicted-to-texting, entitled flakes who are unprepared and lacking the basic skills they need to be successful in the workplace. It's not true. At least not at the SupaFresh Youth Farm in Tigard, Oregon.
This program, backed by the Department of Labor, is training young people to be responsible, reliable workers with a good attitude.
As part of Silicon Valley Bank's 30th anniversary community service campaign, my Portland-based co-workers and I had the opportunity to spend a day hauling dirt, building and planting garden beds and preparing the ground for winter with the youth who run this farm behind Durham Elementary School.
The nature of farming means these kids are getting their hands dirty, developing a strong work ethic and putting in a hearty, healthy days work. Aside from the lessons of farming, they're learning about teamwork, leadership, supply chains, purchasing, product development, marketing and sales. I especially liked to see that they're learning to approach work with a positive attitude.
Despite the tough work and the odds that many of these kids face, there's no whining. Just good hard work. When you know the basics of running a business, have the physical strength of a farm kid and the guts to try something new, anything is possible. We see it every day with our entrepreneurial clients and we saw it at Supafresh. Keep up the good work, kids. The workforce needs you.
The "30 Years |30 Causes" campaign was developed after Silicon Valley Bank crowd sourced ideas from its employees to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The company will host 30 community service events around the world near each of its offices in 2013. A listing of SVB's 30 Years | 30 Causes events, as well as photos, will be updated at www.svb.com/svb-30-years/ and www.facebook.com/SVBFinancialGroup Follow @SVB_Financial's community service initiatives on Twitter with #SVB30. Points of Light is assisting SVB with the development and execution of these events worldwide.

Sorry you weren't thrilled with this one. I must admit that most salads leave me underwhelmed (thus the reason I could stand to lose a few pounds!) Perhaps try some mango instead of the grapefruit?
- January 19, 2010 at 10:47 AM

- Sherylyn said...
Looks gorgeous! I do love grapefruit or other citrus fruit on a spinach salad, and I agree with the suggestion about some honey in the dressing to add a touch of sweetness. Though I have never put a sweet dressing on avacado so I don't know. Hmm. Makes a lovely pic though all your pictures are lovely. I have serious food-blog-pic envy.

All Our Fingers: Thank you so much for the award! That's so sweet of you.
June: Yes, I think oranges would have worked much better in this recipe. It just needed more sweetness.
Susan: I'm glad you think it might be something you like. I knew there was a reason I posted it...LOL
Debbie: LOL... I agree with the clothes on the hanger thingie.
George: I think a honey poppyseed dressing would have definitely made this more palatable.
Steph: Yup, this was a weird combination but I thought it just might work. Back to the drawing board...LOL
Jen: Yes, mango might also have been a great substitution!
Karen: That might have worked but I still think the grapefruit was just too strong of a flavor to be included at all.
Sherylyn: Thanks for the kind words!
A Year: I know avocado is one of those things that people either love or hate (sorta kinda like brussels sprouts, eh?)
Linda: LOL... you may mix and match and add and subtract any which way your little heart desires.
Dimitry: Thanks for commenting!
Moogie: LOL.. a side of beef couldn't hurt this salad, that's for sure.

The US Food and Drug Administration's process analytical technology (PAT) initiative reflects the need for improved quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. As the complexity of pharmaceutical products increases, quality control becomes more costly and difficult. New analytical instrumentation should be developed to address the quality control problems associated with more complex pharmaceutical products. Dielectric spectroscopy, one of many process analytical technologies, has been used for several decades. As any other technology, it is continuously evolving. New instrumentation, algorithms, and materials broaden the applicability and capabilities of this method. Selecting the optimal architecture for a sensing system intended for each specific application requires a good understanding of main principles and engineering trade-offs common for this field. This article is written primarily for field practitioners who need to make a judicious choice of the best measurement technique for their application. Main principles and design features of dielectric sensors are discussed in the framework of pharmaceutical applications.
The range of potential applications of dielectric spectroscopy is quite broad. Virtually any physical process change leads to changes in dielectric properties of samples. Process variability is a primary concern for the pharmaceutical industry (1). Exposure to mechanical and thermal stress can cause a change in the physical properties of pharmaceuticals. Such variations are important to control because physical properties generally determine the efficacy of the drug. For instance, tablet coatings control the rate of drug delivery within the body of a patient (2–5) and influence the bioavailability of the drug. In addition, coatings protect the active ingredient from chemically harsh environments in the body (6). Similarly, API content in a given sample determines the potency of the drug. The drying process of pharmaceuticals is critical because 70% of global granulated pharmaceutical product is made using wet granulation (7). In wet granulation, liquid binding gels are used to facilitate bonding between active ingredients. At this stage, it is important to measure moisture because specific moisture levels are required for the formation of the correct-size granules. Further, in high-shear wet granulation methods, incorrect moisture levels can lead to a process-induced transformation (PIT) (8). In these transformations, the properties of the active ingredients can change, resulting in reduced efficacy.
Overview of sensing methodsProcess analytical technologies. A number of sensing technologies can be used to detect physical properties of pharmaceuticals. Most commonly used technologies include near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy. Digital imaging methods, optical methods, and dielectric spectroscopy also are used to measure various physical properties.
NIR spectroscopy is widely used to measure API content, distribution of contaminants, moisture content, and polymorphism determination (9). Similarly, Raman spectroscopy has demonstrated success in measuring pharmaceutical reaction times, polymorphism, and differences between solid-state forms (8).
Digital imaging methods are used to monitor particle size in pharmaceutical powders (10). Optical methods have been used for inspection of tablet coatings (6), measurement of constituent concentration of pharmaceutical powder mixtures (11), and quantitative analyses of ascorbic acid in pharmaceuticals (11, 12). For example, laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is used to measure coating thickness of tablets (13).
Previous work using dielectric spectroscopy. Dielectric spectroscopy is a promising method to study physical properties of pharmaceutical solutions, colloids, microcapsules, gels, and emulsions. Craig provides a thorough review of these applications (14), which are summarized in this section.
Pharmaceutical solutions are important because the solubility of a drug in the solvent directly influences its rate of disassociation in the body, which in turn impacts bioavailability. Dielectric properties such as the static dielectric constant of solutions has been used to study the solubility of cosolvent systems, reaction rates of pharmaceutical solutions, and drug stability (14).
in which D is the diffusion coefficient of counterions with a particle radius of a, and f c is the loss peak frequency. The inverse-square relationship between relaxation frequency and particle radius was confirmed in a subsequent study (16).

After losing to the Carl Junction Lady Bulldogs in extra innings in the season opener on Wednesday, the Neosho Lady Wildcats were determined to exact some revenge against them at the Paige Neal/Christina Freeman Tournament at the Joplin Sports Complex.
After five games in the tournament Neosho (2-5) defeated the Lady Bulldogs twice in finishing 2-3 on the weekend.
After defeating Carl Junction 9-8 in pool play on Friday, the two foes squared off again Saturday where the Lady Wildcats prevailed again, 10-6. Logan Bates started on the mound for Neosho on Saturday and worked five innings to earn the win. Bailey Spence closed out the game with two innings of relief.
Trailing 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Neosho responded with three runs to take a 3-1 lead. The Lady Bulldogs answered with a run in the bottom of the fourth, but Neosho went on to score one in the fifth, four in the sixth and three more in the seventh. Carl Junction plated three in the sixth and one in the seventh, but the damage had already been done.
Emily Harrell led Neosho's offense with three hits, including a double, and three RBIs. Lindsay Vance had two hits, a double, and two RBIs. Grace Enlow and Cassie Dickens each had two hits.
In another game against Nevada on Saturday the Lady Wildcats couldn't avoid the big inning as the Lady Tigers scored seven times in the bottom of the third inning to take a 10-2 lead. The Lady Wildcats responded with a strong push, scoring three times in the fourth, three more in the fifth and one in the seventh, but ultimately fell short 10-9.
Enlow and Spence both homered and doubled in the game for Neosho as Enlow finished with three hits and Spence two. Spence had two RBIs. Deanna Bingham had two hits and an RBI in the loss.
On Friday Neosho fell to Webb City 16-0 and Columbia-Rock Bridge 21-0.
The Lady Wildcats are back in action at 5 p.m. Thursday at Willard.

STOCKTON - Two women died and another had major injuries after a head-on collision late Saturday in north Stockton, the California Highway Patrol said.
Heidi Nelson, 70, of Lodi was traveling north on West Lane just north of East Eight Mile Road at 40 to 50 mph when, for unknown reasons, she lost control of her 1986 Ford Crown Victoria, officers said. Nelson crossed a raised concrete island and traveled into oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes, the CHP said.
Nelson's vehicle collided with a 1990 Chevrolet Prizm, which was occupied by two Stockton women, 56-year-old Jane Labuni and 54-year-old Rosemarie Taasin, police said. Nelson and Labuni were pronounced dead at the scene, the CHP said.
Taasin, who was driving the Prizm, had major injuries, officers said.
She was transported to St. Joseph's Medical Center before being flown to Stanford Medical Center for further treatment, authorities said.
All three women were wearing seat belts, and drug or alcohol use was not believed to be a factor in the collision, the CHP said.

Additionally, another skier on that run, as well as screen shots from Conlin's helmet camera recorded minutes before he died, appear to contradict documents and testimony from two ski patrollers who said they did cornice kicking — a type of avalanche control — on the trail between 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. that day.
The depositions, obtained by The Denver Post, are part of a lawsuit brought by Conlin's parents against The Vail Corp. Their lawyer filed a motion Wednesday to add a claim for punitive damages, alleging there is "substantial evidence" that Vail's employees have given "false testimony and have altered documents after the avalanche" and that ski patrol, despite knowing there was "a substantial risk of an avalanche" on Prima Cornice, did not use avalanche-control measures.
Kelly Ladyga, vice president of Vail corporate communications, said Wednesday evening that safety and protecting every guest is the ski patrol's No. 1 one priority.
"The suggestion that any member of Vail Ski Patrol lied or deliberately misled (a state agency) or anyone else is baseless and absolutely false," she said.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A grandmother and a cousin are in the Richmond County Jail after deputies say they found a 4-year-old boy hidden in an attic.
They also found him with bruises on his face and chest.
News 12 spoke exclusively with the family as they left the courtroom, including Rose Faamatau, sister of Aileen Satoafaiga.
"She quit having her own life just to take care of her own grandkid. Now, y'all are making her out to be a monster," she said.
Family members claim the media is making their sister out to be a monster, but what may be scary is what deputies say a little boy has endured. Investigators tell us they found him in the attic of a home off Buckhead Court in Augusta on Friday. The temperature was at 83 degrees.
Sataofaiga's niece, Tammie Washington, said, "She did not just leave him up there, it was just for a quick second when the police knocked on the door. That was it, from what we hear."
Deputies knocked on the door because Warren Road Elementary School administrators told them that the boy hadn't been in class for about a week.
News 12 asked, "They said from the 7th to the 14th [of September] when the alleged incident happened, so what happened where he wasn't in school?"
"I wasn't there, OK?" Faamatau replied. "I just know my sister took care of them kids."
Satoafaiga is also being accused for the marks found on the little boy's body. Deputies say there were bruises on his face and his chest.
His cousin, 19-year-old Preston Kelly, is also facing the same charges. Deputies say he was hiding the boy.
"From what we heard, he moved his hand and his shoe hit him -- that's what happened," Washington said.
Washington was raised by Sataofaiga herself. She says the grandmother has been taking care of the little boy since he was just 8 months old.
"She just had a bad day, everybody has a bad day sometimes," Faamatau said.
This may just be the beginning of them as this family takes their claims of innocence through the court system.
"It was an accident. This is not something she does on a daily basis, period. That's all I got to say about it," Washington said.
The boy's grandmother and cousin were neither given nor denied bond on Monday. The magistrate court judge deferred the case until a prosecutor could attend.
Meanwhile, the 4-year-old boy is in state custody.

George F. Will: Tinkering with the rules won't produce better candidates for GOP
Anyway, tinkering with the party�s political process is no substitute for improving the party�s political substance. No nominating process featuring an array of candidates as weak and eccentric as the Republicans� 2012 field would have produced a much better result.

The 37-point margin was the heaviest defeat the Chicago Bulls had suffered in a playoff game and the biggest ever post-season margin of victory for the Heat.
The Bulls upset a rusty Miami in Game One on Monday but the defending NBA champions responded with an aggressive opening quarter that turned into a masterclass, then a massacre.
Monday's defeat had clearly provided the Heat with a wake-up call that resulted in a performance worthy of the defending champions.
"I think this was our first real adversity of the season, losing Game One at home was tough," said Miami's Dwyane Wade.
"We had to go back and look at ourselves in the mirror, look at each other in the eye and say 'listen, what reason are we here for?'.
"I think we did a good job of coming out early in the game and setting the tone," he added.
The margin of victory could have been even more emphatic given Miami led by 46 points with 8:16 remaining in the fourth quarter before resting their first choice players.
Most Valuable Player LeBron James, who had been restricted to two first half points in Game One, was back to near his best, shooting six of six in the first quarter and ending up with 19 points for the game, a number which didn't reflect his influence on the outcome before he sat out the fourth quarter.
"People think he should dominate and score 40 every night," said Miami coach Erik Spoelstra.
"If the game calls for it, he will. If it means he is going to make the right play by setting someone else up, or letting another guy make the play, he will. That's his poise and understanding," he said.
Ray Allen top scored for Miami with 21 points including ten of ten from the free throw line as the Heat bench scored a franchise record 55 points.
In a physical game, with a total of nine technical fouls, the Bulls had Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson ejected in the fourth quarter - any league ruling on fines or suspensions is expected on Thursday.
Noah, who faced some strong provocation from some in the Miami crowd, conceded the Bulls lost their composure as the game ran away from them.
"We had a lot of technical fouls. Yeah, I would call that not keeping our cool, not being very zen," he said.
"We didn't play well but it's not the end of the world. It's one to one and it is going to be a big game three in Chicago."
Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau was clearly upset with the officials but said his team would have to handle the pressure better when they return to their own court.
"We got sidetracked and you can't do that. We showed a lot of frustration ... you have to have poise under pressure.
"You come in here, you're not going to get calls, that is the way it is, that's reality, you can't get wrapped up in that stuff. You have to stay focused.
"You can't allow people to get you back on your heels. That has to be corrected."

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that has a stinging wrist and a good conscience dressed like an angel on our left shoulder who is hopping mad. We can't sleep, we can't eat, basically we are the picture of pathetic guilt-ridden remorse.
Why are we behaving like Catholics who've dropped the F-bomb (we are Catholic, so that joke's OK), you may ask.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: No, actually we really don't care.
SUMMIT UP: It's because we went and forgot the birthday of the lovely lady to our right here. Sara Almond went and turned ... well, actually we don't know how old she turned, but we do know she had a birthday on Friday with no notice of the special occasion here in the Summit Up real estate. And for that, Sara, we are profoundly sorry. To make amends, we hereby dedicate this entire column to you!
SARA ALMOND: Oh, you really shouldn't have. Really.
SU: Too late, we officially proclaim this to be the Sara Almond edition. And we hope your birthday was long on fun and short on lame presents like socks. Many happy returns!
OK, now that our hour of penance is out of the way, we want to talk about the most important thing on the face of the earth.
MSUR: The upcoming presidential election, during which the next leader of the free world will be anointed by the American people?
SU: Nope.
MSUR: The proliferation of arms that puts everyone at risk of death by nuclear mishap?
SU: Definitely not.
MSUR: Then what?
SU: Football, of course. We just want to give a special shout-out to our own beloved Denver Broncos and our new favorite human being, Peyton Manning. Manning, we've heard your quarterbacking compares to Michelangelo's painting. It would be great if you could make tonight your David, because we think the Falcons need a good spanking and we know the Broncos need a big, beautiful No. 2 in the 'W' column. We can smell the post- season already, and it smells like victory and Peyton Manning's sweat! Go get 'em tonight, Broncos!
Folks, it may be Monday, and it may be snowing (we're not sure, because we wrote this on Sunday), but at least we have Monday night football!
We out.

STOCKTON - A multiagency operation to crack down on drunken driving during the holiday season resulted in nearly 150 arrests in San Joaquin County, authorities said.
From 12:01 a.m. Dec. 14 to midnight Tuesday, representatives from 10 local law enforcement agencies made 150 arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, officials said. There were 130 arrests during the same period in 2011, authorities said.
The operation included DUI checkpoints and involved law enforcement officials from Stockton, Lodi, Tracy and Manteca. It was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Tonight, William Shatner guest hosted WWE Raw and, as Bill is wont to do, provided the Midwest and Deep South with a healthy dose of absurdity via a series of spoken word covers of "WWE Superstar Anthems."
Is Shatner trying to create his own meme? If so, it'd probably look like this.

A: The Major League Baseball Players Association became a labor union in 1966. Marvin Miller, an economist with the United Steel Workers of America, was chosen by the players to be the Association's first executive director.
A: The MLBPA is the collective bargaining representative for all current Major League Baseball players. The Association also assists players with grievances and salary arbitration. The Association works closely with MLB in ensuring that the playing conditions for all games involving Major League players, whether the games are played in MLB stadiums or elsewhere, including internationally, meet proper safety guidelines. The Association also serves as the group licensing agent on behalf of the players.
A: The players negotiated their first-ever Collective Bargaining Agreement in 1968, giving the players the right to have an independent arbitrator from outside Major League Baseball decide their grievances with the owners.
A: All players, managers, coaches and trainers who hold a signed contract with a Major League club are eligible for membership in the Association. In collective bargaining, the Association represents around 1,200 players, or the number of players on each club's 40-man roster, in addition to any players on the disabled list.
A: The Executive Board of the Association consists of the two MLBPA Representatives, the two alternate MLBPA Representatives, the Club Player Representatives and the Pension Committee Representatives. The Executive Board meets two times each year, and it is responsible for directing the affairs of the Association.
A: The Members on each Major League club elect, by secret ballot, a Club Player Representative and an Alternate Player Representative. Each Club Representative serves on the Executive Board and he is responsible for meeting regularly with the players on his Club and represents them in the resolution of problems at the Club level.
A: In 2015, the average salary was $3,386,212.
A: The minimum salary for the 2015 season is $507,500.
A: A player with three or more years of service, but less than six years, may file for salary arbitration. In addition, a player can be classified as a "Super Two" and be eligible for arbitration with less than three years of service. A player with at least two but less than three years of Major League service shall be eligible for salary arbitration if he has accumulated at least 86 days of service during the immediately preceding season and he ranks in the top 22 percent (increased from 17 percent in previous agreements) in total service in the class of Players who have at least two but less than three years of Major League service, however accumulated, but with at least 86 days of service accumulated during the immediately preceding season.
Since 1974, and including 2012, arbitrators have ruled on behalf of the players 214 times and clubs 286 times. Although the number of players filing for salary arbitration varies per year, the majority of cases are settled before the arbitration hearing date. Approximately 90 percent of the players filing for arbitration typically reach new agreements before a hearing.
A: A player with six or more years of Major League service who has not executed a contract for the next season is eligible to become a free agent.
A: The current CBA expires on Dec. 1, 2016.
A: There have been five strikes (1972, 1980, 1981, 1985 and 1994-95) and the owners have locked out the players three times (1973, 1976 and 1990).
A: The players' dues are $70 per day during the season.
A: The players' pool is created from 60 percent of the total gate receipts from the first four World Series games; 60 percent of the total gate receipts from the first four games of each League Championship Series; 60 percent of the total gate receipts from the first three games of each Division Series; and 50 percent of the total gate receipts from each of the two Wild Card games (travel costs for each visiting Wild Card team are deducted before this 50 percent is calculated). The pool is distributed as follows: World Series-winning team: 36 percent; World Series loser: 24 percent; League Championship Series losers (two teams): 12 percent each; Division Series losers (four teams): 3.25 percent each; Wild Card game losers (two teams): 1.5 percent each. The amount that each player receives from the pool is determined by a vote of the players on the team. This vote takes place at a team meeting held before the final game of the regular season.
A: In accordance with Major League Rule 2 (c), beginning on Opening Day of each season and ending at midnight, August 31, the Club roster limit is 25, provided that the minimum number of active players maintained by each Club be 24. However, as of 2012, Clubs will be allowed 26-man rosters for day-night doubleheaders. If the roster is reduced below 24 then the Club shall, within 48 hours (plus time necessary for a player to report), bring its roster back to the minimum of 24. Beginning on September 1 and ending with the close of the Championship Season, the roster limit is expanded to 40.
A: Any company seeking to use the names or likenesses of more than two Major League Baseball players in connection with a commercial product, product line or promotion must sign a licensing agreement with the MLBPA. The license grants the use of the players' names and/or likenesses only and not the use of any MLB team logos or marks. Examples of products licensed by the MLBPA include trading cards, video games, T-shirts, caps, a wide variety of other products such as pennants, posters, pins, action figures and advertising campaigns for a wide variety of products and services.
A: Players receive a pro rata share of licensing revenue regardless of popularity or stature. Each player share is determined by his actual days of Major League service in a given season.
A: The Players Trust is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit foundation created by the players in 1996 to assist charities around the world. The Trust is funded through player and public donations, a percentage of licensing revenue and through revenue produced from Association special events. In 2002, the Players Trust entered a long-term partnership with Volunteers of America called Share with a Child in which the two organizations share resources to benefit those in need and encourage community activism. Another major initiative of the Players Trust is Buses for Baseball, a program that transports at-risk youth to Major League baseball games where they get to meet the players, receive free tickets, game programs, T-shirts and concessions.
A: The Association has more than 300 certified agents on record.
A: Just as the Association endorses a free market system for its players in negotiating contracts with Club owners, the agent fee is negotiated freely between the player and his agent. The only stipulation is that the agent cannot charge a fee unless the player's salary negotiated exceeds the Major League minimum (currently $490,000). If the salary negotiated does exceed the minimum, any fee charged may not, when subtracted from the salary negotiated, produce a net salary to the player below or equal to the minimum salary. Bonuses constitute salary only if earned.
A: The PA launched Bigleaguers.com at the All-Star Game in Cleveland in July 1997. The original Bigleaguers.com featured interactive tools that allowed the players to exchange emails with fans and post text and photographs. It became a popular baseball destination in the early days of the Web as players gave daily online chats with fans, Monday through Friday, and provided unique player-generated content.
A: For legal internships, qualified students are encouraged to apply via the Peggy Browning Fund.
For internships in the Business Affairs department, qualified students are encouraged to send a cover letter along with a resume to email@example.com with the word "Internship" in the subject line.

'American Idol' Hits Charlotte. Charlotte Hits Back
Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey took a backseat to talent on the latest episode of "American Idol." The two judges managed to fight, agree and throw out random quotables, but the performers in Charlotte, North Carolina stood out in so many ways that it was impossible to focus on the alleged bad blood between the two.
God Bless you, Charlotte.
The city's performers really brought the "wow" factor, and made the snark tolerable.
Keith Urban and Randy Jackson finally seemed present at the judges table, but weren't quite able to overshadow the big personalities of Minaj and Carey. At one point, a disagreement about a contestant's "country thing" led to a dramatic walk off by Nicki Minaj. But, it was hard to really focus on being upset about the drama when the talent was of such high quality tonight. Heck, we don't even mind the focus on all of the random nicknames Minaj forces upon each guest. What can you expect from a woman with so many alter egos it would take a trip to google to remember them all? Roman Zolanski anyone?
But, I digress. Let's talk about the amazing performers tonight.
Here's a look at a few of the contestants that stood out tonight on AI:
Brian Rittenberry
The singer belted out an unexpected performance of "Let It Be" that was powerful and got all four judges to vote yes to sending him to Hollywood. We were all worried after the contestant mentioned being banished to the basement by the wife for vocal practice?
Jimmy Smith
Smith, according to Minaj, is "popping" and mad fly. The singer with voice Minaj has been waiting to hear "all night" is headed to Hollywood.
Matthew "Cool Dude" Muse
The nicknamed bestowed on the singer tells you very little about the singer, but imagine if Aaron Neville couldn't hit his notes. Well, then now you know how Matthew sounds and why he and his cowboy hat won't make it to Hollywood.
Isabel Gonzalez
The judges seem to exaggerate her ability, but America loves adorability. Minaj is head over heels in love, Urban thinks she's a natural, and Carey thinks she's adorable. So guess what? The young Phoebe Cates-look-alike gets a golden ticket for an alleged "effortless" performance.
Taisha Bethea
No country in her pipes tonight. The young rocker performs Alanis Morissette and Johnny Cash for the indecisive judges. The lead singer of an alternative group gets the "interesting" label from the judges, but after a split decision, Urban breaks the tie and sends the singer off to Hollywood.
Summer Cunningham
The singer puts country twang in "Lean on Me" putting her best "soulful country" forward. But, Urban wants to know more about her sound.
"I did the country thing," Summer tells the judge. This makes Keith Urban visibly irritated. He seemed close to denying her a golden ticket but because it's a voice competition, Urban put aside his annoyance and vote to send the singer to Hollywood. The hesitation by the judges rightfully annoys Minaj.
"Why are we picking her apart because of the country comment?" ask Minaj. "We're scaring her into lying." The judges insistence on talking about the twang, the yodeling and her sound leads to Minaj versus the judges. Things get so intense that she walks out. While Minaj is definitely a drama queen, she was right.
Brandy Hamilton
Hamilton can sing and light up a room, so the four judges send the Army reservists to Hollywood.
Ashley "Blondie" Smith
Is she a gimmick? Will she fail? Nope. The blonde wig and nude lipstick who left us all confused by her look did an amazing rendition of "Cowboy Casanova."
"Country looks cool on you," Minaj tells Smith. And, again, she's right. Country certainly looks better than the wig and lipstick. No judgements.
Janelle Arthur
Arthur does a medley to show her range and Urban loves it. "It's gorgeous, baby," he tells the Arthur.
Rodney Barber
The boss of Charlotte does a performance of "I'll Be" and the powerful vocals and backstory gets the singer a gold ticket to the next round. "I had experience with you because what you've been through," said Carey. Wait. What?
Candice Glover
Randy declared it the best audition. Minaj being Minaj takes it a step farther. She tells the contestant, "I want to skin you and wear you," Minaj tells the contestant. "I'm not even worthy to critique you."
A guy named Brad Harris performs "A Whole New World." Three words: It was bad. However,the judges refusal to shake Harris's hand seemed mean-spirited.
The last contestant, Seretha Guinn, tells a tale of how she nearly lost her fiance. When the young performer does says she's performing "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" we all gave an epic side eye. But, surprisingly it was cool, different, unique, jazzy and just a bowl of awesome sauce. She rocked. She's going to Hollywood!

The swimming pool at the Hendersonville Family YMCA opened Tuesday morning with a new look.
The pool was closed Feb. 25 for roof repairs after at least one small piece of concrete recently fell from the ceiling into the pool.
Executive Community Director Tim DeViese said the YMCA team decided to renovate the area while the pool was closed.
The renovations were unveiled Tuesday for members, along with an open swim to celebrate.

Second suspect arrested in death of WWII veteran
Published: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 9:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 26, 2013 at 9:58 a.m.
Spokane, Wash., police say they have arrested a second teenage suspect in the fatal beating of an 88-year-old World War II veteran.
The victim, Delbert Belton, was attacked and robbed in the parking lot of an Eagles Lodge in North Spokane last Wednesday night. One of the teens surrendered to authorities Thursday night, and he was being held on charges of robbery and first-degree murder. His identity has not been released because he is a juvenile.
Police say they arrested the second suspect, a 16-year-old, in a basement apartment in Spokane just after 3 a.m. Monday. The Associated Press is withholding his name because of his age.
Several other people with him were arrested for investigation of rendering criminal assistance.

9.1-2 Larceny of a Public Record -- § 53a-119 and § 53a-124 (a) (3)
Revised to December 1, 2007
Note: Larceny of a public record is defined as third degree larceny in § 53a-124 (a) (3) regardless of the value of the property stolen.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with larceny in the third degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person commits larceny in the third degree when, with intent to <insert as appropriate:>
deprive another of property,
appropriate property to (himself /herself) or a third person,
(he/she) wrongfully (takes / obtains / withholds) such property from an owner.
Larceny simply means theft or stealing. In this case, the property allegedly stolen is a public record.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Theft of property
The first element is that the defendant wrongfully (took / obtained / withheld) property from the owner.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
Element 2 - Larcenous intent
The second element is that at the time the defendant (took / obtained / withheld) the property, (he/she) intended to <insert as appropriate:>
permanently deprive the owner of the public record.
permanently appropriate the public record to (himself/herself) or a third person.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
Element 3 - Public record
The third element is that the property is a public record, writing or instrument kept, held or deposited according to law with or in the keeping of any public office or public servant. <Describe the nature of the record.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant 1) wrongfully (took / obtained / withheld) property from the owner, 2) (he/she) did so with the intent to (permanently deprive the owner of (his/her) property / permanently appropriate the property to (himself / herself) or a third person), and 3) the property was a public record.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a
reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of larceny in the third
degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you
unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.

STOCKTON - The parents of 11-year-old Sevino Henry Panella, who died of a gunshot wound Sept. 24, are seeking the community's assistance in paying for his funeral.
"We need help to lay him to rest, to get a headstone for him," said Sevino Jonathan Panella, who is still coming to terms with his family's loss.
Panella said his son, who attended sixth grade at Harrison Elementary School and who played baseball and basketball and participated in karate, is expected to be buried at the end of this week.
Community members who wish to help may go to any Bank of the West branch and indicate their donation is for Sevino Henry Panella, the family said.
The circumstances of the young Panella's death remain under investigation by the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, but preliminary findings indicate he sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound, possibly accidental. The family has been living with a close friend for about a year since their home was foreclosed upon.

STANFORD -- Even as she wobbled on the court in a frightening display that sparked worldwide attention and concern, Serena Williams kept trying to play.
"That's the fight in me," Williams said Monday, publicly addressing her bizarre exit from Wimbledon for the first time. "I am always go, go, go. I never stop. I never want to give up. I never know when to say when."
Suffering from what officials later called a viral illness, Williams spent the next three days in bed as many, including some of the sport's legendary names, speculated whether the world's No. 1-ranked player was dealing with something other than a virus.
Williams, 32, seemed recharged Monday as she prepares for her opening match Wednesday night at the Bank of the West Classic, her first since withdrawing from the now infamous Wimbledon doubles match July 1. The Bank of the West's top seed did not give a specific diagnosis but said she would undergo more medical tests after the tennis season.
She vacationed in Europe after Wimbledon, mixing in sun and fun with early-morning practices.
"I am feeling pretty good about my game," Williams said. "But as you know, I am never feeling great about it."
Nobody felt great about Williams' game when she struggled on the Wimbledon grounds to do the most basic tennis tasks, such as tossing the ball for her serve.
Playing alongside her older sister, Venus, who will play at the Bank of the West on Tuesday, Williams lasted three games before officials stopped the match.
Venus earlier told her sister to walk off the court. "I think she almost punched me," Williams said.
But Williams continued because, in doubles, she needed to cover only half the court.
It was not until later, Williams said, that she realized the seriousness of the situation.
"I was really, really sick," Williams said. "Literally the next three days I couldn't get out of bed. Usually when you lose in a tournament, you just leave. I literally stayed until the tournament ended because I was not allowed to leave. Doctors told me you've got to stay."
In 2011, the 17-time Grand Slam singles champion had blood clots in both lungs and a hematoma in her abdomen.
"It kind of reminded of when I had my other illness a while ago," Williams said. "I didn't realize how sick I was until my dad came over and we were walking outside for no more than three minutes and I said, 'OK, I've got to go inside.' I slept the whole day.
"After this happened, I kind of had that flashback where you're in this moment and you don't realize how sick you are. You kind of step back and look at everything and picture everything."
The Wimbledon incident prompted widespread speculation.
"I find it distressing," Martina Navratilova told ESPNW later that week. "I think virus, whatever they're saying it was, I don't think that was it. I think it's clear that's not the case. I don't know what it is, but I hope Serena will be OK. And most of all, I don't know how she ended up walking onto the court."
Williams said she heard about the speculation weeks later.
Her response: "Oh really?"
Angelique Kerber, the Bank of the West's third seed, watched Williams practice Monday and walked away impressed.
"She was back, for sure," Kerber said.
Williams won the tournament at Stanford in 2011 and 2012.
"I feel really good about this event and this tournament and being here," Williams said. "It's always been a special place for me."

During this time her three children were born. From 2001-2002, she spent another year in Sweden with her family. On returning to the Charlottesville area, she continued to work for the University of Virginia as an adjunct professor, research scientist and consultant to the Curry School of Education.
Dee is an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville Virginia where she has served as a ruling elder and chair of the Adult Education committee among other responsibilities. She is happy to be a part of the EMU community where she is fulfilling her life-long dream of teaching. In the fall of 2015 she is teaching Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, and Analysis of Algorithms along with working on an EMU scholarship grant. This grant focuses on using mathematical techniques such as principal component analysis and clustering for characterizing computer workloads and chemistry experiments. In the past, she has conducted research on applying computer games to learning, effects and issues surrounding the use of social media, and the use of expectation and value in teaching science classes. Details are available on the STEM pages. Her hobbies include hiking with her husband, Bikram Yoga, crocheting, reading and cooking with her children.
