MONROE, Conn. (AP) -- Sandy Hook Elementary School parent Vinny Alvarez says he took advantage of an open house at his daughter's new school to thank a teacher who helped protect her class from a rampaging gunman.
Alvarez says the teacher, Courtney Martin, locked her classroom door and kept the children in a corner until it was safe to leave the building.
He was visiting the school in the neighboring town of Monroe, Conn., where Sandy Hook children are resuming classes Thursday for the first time since the Dec. 14 shooting that left 20 children and six educators dead.
Newtown Superintendent of Schools Janet Robinson announced that the Sandy Hook staff decided that the students' new school, the former Chalk Hill Middle School in Monroe, would be renamed Sandy Hook Elementary School.

text: First and foremost, "Inner Monster Out" is not Brazilian heavy metal as we traditionally think of it. Loaded with melodic artistry and accessible structures, Shadowside ignores the looming legacy and idiomatic trappings of their countrymen such as Sepultura or Torture Squad. What is left in place is a sound more akin to a cross between Lacuna Coil and not-quite-Iron-Maiden. That comparison has surprisingly little to do with the fact that Shadowside, like Lacuna Coil, has a female lead singer.

Earthquakes fans once cheered him as an L.A. Galaxy-slayer and the poster boy of American soccer.
Landon Donovan, who announced Thursday he will retire at the end of the 2014 season, was the brightest light on Quakes' squads that earned 2001 and 2003 MLS Cup championships. He spurned the Quakes to join the Galaxy in 2005 and ultimately became one of the greatest national team players in U.S. history.
"I think for the last few years, I haven't had the same passion that I had previously in my career," Donovan, 32, said at a news conference at the Galaxy stadium. "To some extent, I had felt obligated to keep playing. It's time to enjoy the rest of the season, and there would be no better way than to go out as a champion, so that's what I want to do."
Donovan and the Earthquakes will renew old acquaintances Friday, when San Jose travels to L.A.
Donovan's decision to retire came one day after he scored the winning goal in the MLS All-Star game to beat Bayern Munich 2-1.
Last spring, Donovan was cut from the U.S. World Cup team by coach Juergen Klinsmann, a controversial move considering Donovan is the all-time leader in goals for the national team with 57. That had nothing to do with his decision to retire, Donovan said.
"I certainly wasn't going to allow one person's poor choice to affect a decision like this," he said.
Quakes fans remain conflicted about Donovan. Many of them still view him as a traitor, rooting for him with the national team and booing him with the Galaxy.
When Donovan returned to MLS after a second disappointing stint with Germany's Bayer Leverkusen in 2005, he did not return to San Jose. Instead, he joined forces with his hometown team, the Galaxy.
Spurned Quakes fans didn't take the news well. The kid who brought them championships had gone to their hated rival.
As Quakes Hall of Famer Troy Dayak said Thursday, explaining the fans' outrage: "It's the Galaxy, man. It's the L.A. Galaxy. That's our fierce rival, Lex Luther, whatever you want to call it. We don't like L.A., that's just what it is."
Donovan's friends say he left San Jose simply because he wanted to go home. Born in Ontario, he's was a Southern California guy, through and through.
"I've got nothing but love for Landon," said Quakes assistant Ian Russell, Donovan's teammate with the Quakes from 2001 to '03 and with the Galaxy in 2006. "He played with the Quakes when he was 18 or 19, he was just a kid, and in that first year he showed everybody how special he was going to be. We won the MLS Cup that year, and he was the reason. He was phenomenal."
It remains murky how Donovan ended up in Los Angeles. The story goes that San Jose traded away his rights, which enabled the Galaxy to land him via allocation on his return from Germany. But sources say the league rule that sent Donovan to L.A. was put in place only a week before he returned, leading to suspicions of malfeasance.
That Donovan promptly led the Galaxy to the 2005 MLS Cup made the move more painful for Quakes fans.
In 2001, as a Quakes rookie, Donovan became the league's brightest young star. He had a club-high 10 assists and seven goals and was named All-Star game MVP with a record-breaking four-goal effort. He had five goals in six playoff matches and one more goal in the final, a 2-1 win over the Galaxy.
In 2003, he scored twice in the Quakes' 4-2 win over Chicago in the MLS Cup. He also scored and assisted the winner in the 2003 Western Conference semifinals, when San Jose rallied from 4-0 down on aggregate to shock L.A. 5-4 at Spartan Stadium. It is still considered the greatest comeback in MLS history. He is the all-time leading scorer in MLS with 138 goals.
"There is no doubt that Major League Soccer would not be what it is today without Landon Donovan," MLS commissioner Don Garber said. "His decision to join MLS in 2001 was a statement to the entire soccer community, at the most crucial time in our history, that MLS could be a league of choice for the best American players. Landon is to MLS what Michael Jordan was to the NBA, Wayne Gretzky was to the NHL and Tiger Woods was to the PGA Tour."

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team will travel up to the metroplex this weekend to take on a former Southland Conference rival with a four-game series against UT Arlington.
The Islanders (3-7) are looking to snap a three-game skid, dropping their final two games of the Kleberg Bank College Classic to UTSA and TCU before a tough loss on Tuesday at Texas State.
UTA (2-5) struggled to start the season, dropping three of their four games against Southland opponents. However, the Mavericks one win took 19 innings, in a 9-8 extra inning affair against McNeese State.
Their first two games against Big 12 foes didn't go so well, losing to both Oklahoma State and Baylor before bouncing back to throttle a common opponent to the Islanders with a 10-2 win over nationally ranked TCU.
Coming off his second strong start and first win of the season, Matt Danton will head to the mound to start game one of the series. He currently leads all starters with a 1.98 ERA, only giving up three runs on 10 hits in 13.2 innings pitched.
Danton will face off against Zach Thompson, who has given up the second-most runs on the team at 10. However, only half of those have been earned, as he boasts a 4.66 ERA with one loss and a no decision in his two starts. Thompson has had a wild side to him this season, accumulating team highs with eight walks and four wild pitches.
For game one of the doubleheader on Saturday, Preseason First-Team All-Conference pitcher Trevor Belicek (0-1, 4.50 ERA) will look for his first win of the season after having a tough task with starts against Texas and TCU to start the year.
Opposing him will be Jess Amedee, who has given up eight runs on 12 hits in 13 innings pitched.
Freshman Devin Skapura (1-1, 2.45 ERA), who has been strong in the first two outings of his collegiate career, will get the start in the second game of the doubleheader.
UTA has a TBA for game two, while the Islanders are waiting to name a starter for the series finale. In the Sunday game, the Mavericks are scheduled to start Brad Vachon, who comes off a win against TCU allowing just one run in 6.2 innings pitched.
Looking to get to Vachon and the other UTA pitchers this weekend will be Kyle Danford who currently leads the starters in average (.359), hits (14) and RBIs (11).
The Mavericks have gotten production from several different batters in their lineup with four different players tallying at least five RBIs.
In the all-time series UTA holds an 18-9 advantage with a majority of the matchups coming before the Mavericks' departure from the Southland. The last time the two sides met was in the 2012 Southland Conference Tournament where UTA knocked off the Islanders 10-5 to win all four games against A&M – Corpus Christi that season.
To keep up with the Islanders this weekend sure to follow the team on Twitter and Instagram (@IslandersBSB) and like us on Facebook (Islanders Baseball). See above for links to live video, stats and audio for the series against UTA.

Hi everyone,
Over the last three months, I have been training for a half marathon (Oct. 6) and have run a few 10K's. My weekly mileage is increasing according to my training plan and right now I'm running about 25-30 miles per week, four times a week.
About nine days ago, I had a long run of 10 miles and the next day I found both knees to be extremely stiff and tight. This has continued through today but like the hard head that I am, I have continued to run; about 20 more miles since that long run. Now within the last few days I am experiencing pain in the back of the right knee at the top of the calf.
Any feedback and advice is greatly appreciated.
Can you find a dirt trail to run on? I haven't had any knee issues since I switched to dirt.
Fat old man PRs:
You may be overtraining for this Half. 30 miles a week, in my opinion, is too many miles for most people to begin with. If you're a pro, have at it, but if I were you, I'd cut back. That alone may be enough to start recovery.
Overpronation is a problem for many people, but you've dealt with it pretty well so far. If you can get past this issue, it may be a containable amount of excess repetitive motion. Any solution to that is worth pursuing over time, but bear in mind there are risks associated with changing your stride or footplant this close to a major race. Your body may not have enough time to adjust to the changes, and you could cause other compensation injuries.
Thanks James for the feedback.
I saw my Dr yesterday and he confirmed it's typical PFPS and told me to take ibuprofen every six hours and definitely change shoes. I went to two different running stores to get fitted and both confirmed the overpronation and recommended a good selection of stability shoes.
I took three days off and will tackle a 10K tomorrow and see how the knees feel. Broke out the old Nike Lunar Glides, which both shops recommended, and will use them tomorrow before I purchase a new pair.
I know this is an old post, I wanted to say I get that knee cracking feeling too. For me its related to the outside of my knee the ITB. I was in horrible pain for the last 3 years after a rock climbing fall. What helped me is 1. stretching 5 mins two - three times a day. I have four stretches that I do I hold them for 30 seconds a piece. The stretches I use come from the navy seal training webpage. Apparently they have some issues with recruits running in wet sand and many of them have it. I also found that doing Frankenstein walks, aka monster walks to help strengthen my hips have helped. When I do not stretch I feel it.
I am glad your regimen has worked out for you. I too believe that stretching can be a great way to increase or maintain flexibility in a body that may otherwise be too tight. What I and a number of others here agree on, though, is that stretching is a risky way to treat many soft-tissue injuries. When the problem you are stretching is more of a condition than an injury, such as chronic tightness resulting in misaligned joints, the benefits of stretching can definitely outweigh the risks. Just be careful not to stretch tissue when it is injured or in active contraction, when injuries can be created or complicated.

Sarasota SunTrust executive is promoted
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 6:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 6:13 p.m.
SARASOTA - Margaret Callihan, who headed SunTrust Bank's Southwest Florida operations for much of the past decade, has been promoted to a new post in Fort Lauderdale.
Callihan will start the transition next week toward becoming South Florida division president, overseeing Miami/Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast counties. Her predecessor retires in March.
She will not be replaced as regional president here, but the bank will soon name a city president for Sarasota, bank spokesman Mike McCoy said Friday.
Allen Brinkman, a regional president in Tampa, has added that role for the Southwest Florida region that includes Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. Kevin Osborne will remain the senior leader in Bradenton.
Callihan's shift comes as Atlanta-based SunTrust has been moving away from a management approach that spanned multiple lines of business, to a leadership structure within each line of business, McCoy said.
SunTrust is the third-largest bank in the Sarasota-Manatee metro area, behind Bank of America and Wells Fargo, with $2.1 billion deposits and 33 offices, according to the latest data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The bank also ranks third in Charlotte, with $438.7 million in deposits and 10 branches.
Known for her community involvement, Callihan was chairwoman of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, served on the USF Sarasota-Manatee Campus Board, and the board of the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County.
In November, she received the American Jewish Committee West Coast Florida Civic Achievement Award.
She was traveling Friday and could not be reached for comment.
Callihan has been with SunTrust and its predecessor banks since 1978. She came here in January 2005 as chairman, president and chief executive officer of the bank's Sarasota-based Southwest Florida region, a five-county territory that spans Bradenton to Naples.
In South Florida she will succeed Jim Rasmussen, who is retiring on March 31.

1. Looking back: 00:01
One of the best things about blogging is being able to look back and learn. I turned 24 yesterday. As part of my birthday celebration, I've been reviewing all my blog entries from the past year.
I've changed a lot, and I'm going to change a lot more in the next year. Looking back, I can see how my life is so different from what it was then. Most of the changes feel right, as if I'm becoming more like myself. Some don't feel as good—sometimes even painful. I'm still the same girl who wrote about missing family, friends, and cat....
Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. I've made a few short-term decisions that have been and will continue to be painful or sad. Like most people, I make those choices because I think it will work out in the long run. Not only do I think it will work out—I think it will be wonderful.
We'll see...

2. Barkada party: 20:35
My mom held a Skype party for my barkada (close group of friends) in the Philippines. I enjoyed seeing and hearing them this morning. They're just as crazy as I remembered. I wish they were here with me! I haven't been able to put together such a large, mutually supportive peer group over here. Maybe someday!
After we caught up, we spent the rest of the time swapping Internet memes. After seeing the remixed Shining trailer that turned the horror classic into a feel-good father-and-son movie, I've decided to track down a copy of Stephen King's novel and to see the movie. <laugh> After all, I've already read the spoilers *and* the analyses...
I'm thinking of calling people up and chatting with them, or maybe starting a food blog with pictures. We'll see how that turns out. =)

SAN RAMON -- Tri-Valley residents who need more specialized pediatric care -- especially for their young athletes -- can get it close to home.
UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland will be opening a new specialty pediatric clinic at Bishop Ranch by the end of August. It also will feature orthopedics and a new Sports Medicine Center for Young Athletes that will focus on the treatment and prevention of sports injuries.
The organization plans to relocate its existing Pleasanton specialty pediatric clinic on Stoneridge Mall Road to the new 5,000 square-foot clinic site at Bishop Ranch Medical Center, approximately doubling its space and expanding its offerings, said Patricia Taggart, vice president for ambulatory services for Children's Hospital Oakland. The clinic will be made up of three buildings at 2301, 2303 and 2305 Camino Ramon, which is near a mix of other medical offices, including John Muir Urgent Care Center and the newly-opened Kaiser Permanente Medical Center.
"We're thrilled to be opening in the San Ramon-Tri-Valley area," she said. "It's centrally located, and Bishop Ranch is pretty well-known to those who live the I-580-to-680 corridor. And we want to make it convenient for families to get out there."
The new kid's clinic will offer the same wide range of specialties as its Pleasanton location: cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, psychiatry, pulmonary, surgery and ear-nose-and-throat care, as well as developmental and behavioral pediatrics, nutrition, and speech and language therapy. It also will feature a concussion clinic.
About 10 staffers will be permanently housed at the clinic, and nearly all will come from the Pleasanton site, including clerical and medical assistants, speech and physical therapy staff, while about 10 to 20 different doctors will rotate in and out of the clinic every week, she said.
But the orthopedics and young athlete sports medicine center, which will include a 700 square-foot therapy gym are "the two things that will really set us apart from the other clinics," she said.
With the popularity of club sports in the Bay Area, kids are playing sports 12 months a year, and "we're definitely seeing more shoulder and elbow injuries from overhead throwing, from sports like baseball, football and volleyball," she said.
The center will provide physical therapy, sports performance and athletic training to care for young athletes, as well as injury prevention programs, such as Pilates, yoga, core strengthening and "tough-cuff" classes aimed toward curbing rotor cuff injuries.
"We're not just here to treat injuries, we want to prevent them too," she said.
Children's Hospital Oakland became officially affiliated with UCSF at the beginning of this year and changed its name last month.
Since UCSF already offers a similar pediatric clinic at ValleyCare Health System in Pleasanton, "we're not abandoning Pleasanton," she said, adding they're looking at what they might do in that ValleyCare location as well.
Alex Mehran Jr., CEO of Sunset Development, which owns and manages Bishop Ranch, said his company has seen a continuing rise in demand of medical providers wanting to come to Bishop Ranch, not just to serve office workers but families.
"And to have (UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital) come and plant their flag at Bishop Ranch is a huge statement about the people here and their desire to have quality health care," he said.

Trust Works!
How to build it—How to keep it
In this enlightening guide developed from his popular Trust Works! training program, #1 bestselling author and management guru Ken Blanchard turns his vast knowledge and insight to one of the most timely and complex issues that affects all areas of our lives.
Once upon a time, a dog and a cat lived together with other animals and the humans who cared for them. But canine and feline did not trust each other—a situation that led to fighting, backbiting, and sabotaging that soon affected the whole household.
Unless their conflict was resolved, all of the pets would lose their home. Fortunately, a wise old parrot stepped in, teaching dog and cat the ABCDs of trust. As each became aware of the unconscious behaviors at the root of their hostility, dog and cat discovered how to change their behavior—a mutual transformation that created a happy, productive environment for all.
In Trust Works! Ken Blanchard applies that fable to real-life situations to show anyone how to get along better with those around them. He outlines his ABCD trust model and uses it to address the factors that lead to discord, including low morale, miscommunication, poor response to problems and issues, and dysfunctional leadership.
In today's polarized society, building trust—and sustaining it—has never been more important or seemingly elusive. Trust Works! provides a common language and essential skills that can replace dissension with peace and cooperation and help us all work together productively and in harmony.

text: I don't understand why alot of people - not just young adults - seem to have completely gone off the rails and simply love swooning over pathetic romances, bland, unbuilt characters and makeshift vampires? I have nothing against Urban Fantasy books, even Young Adult ones. It's just a genre. A genre that is getting punched in the face. I have nothing against crappy Romance books. They are fun for some people, they are escapism. But they should not be able to be held up as the GREATEST WORK OF LITERATURE EVUR. I tried searching Fantasy on Amazon, all I wanted were great, interesting books and classics. All I get is Twilight, Twilight, Twilight and something about '_____ was an ordinary girl. No one loved her. BUT THEN A VAMPIRE DID.' Bad issues, bad romances, are all right in books if handled with some kind of overview and knowledge. Not glorified. How can we teach people what good writing, good characters are? How can we change this?

Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression. It is associated with the seasonal changes in light. SAD most commonly occurs in late fall and lasts through the winter and into spring. SAD is more than feeling down, it interferes with normal daily functions during these times.
Brain—Psychological Organ
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The causes of SAD are not completely clear. Some factors that may play a role include:
SAD is more common in women than in men, often appearing in young adulthood. People who live in northern latitudes also have an increased risk of developing SAD.
Symptoms appear and peak during the winter months. As spring and summer approach, symptoms disappear. SAD may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and psychological exam will be done.
A diagnosis of SAD will only be made if you have some of the symptoms above and:
Light therapy provides a special type of lighting to your body. Therapy includes sitting a few feet away from an ultra-bright light for a certain amount of time each day, usually in the morning. You will be able to read or work during the therapy, as your eyes will remain open. Treatment usually lasts about 30 minutes each day.
There is some evidence that light therapy may be as effective as antidepressant therapy, but with fewer side effects.
Tanning beds are not recommended as a source of light therapy. They give off ultraviolet light, which can increase the risk of cancer. They also have not been proven effective for treating SAD.
Many people find that getting outdoors for a walk each day is also helpful.
Your doctor may prescribe antidepressant medications or supplements.
Therapists can help you learn ways of managing stress and the symptoms of SAD.

VAIL, Colorado - How many meetings does it take for Vail to approve a billion-dollar resort project? The answer, so far, is "more than 85."
At the end of the 85th meeting various town boards have held regarding the Ever Vail project, the Vail Town Council Tuesday gave initial approval to a handful of ordinances moving the plan along. Those ordinances deal with parking and zoning matters, among other things, that are essential for the project to gain final approval. Some day.
When Vail Resorts Development Co. first floated the idea of Ever Vail in 2005, it looked like someday might have happened by now. But when a formal application hit the town offices in 2007, the national economy had started to sour. Now, five years on, all Vail Resorts will say about a timeline to start work on Ever Vail is "when the time is right."
The ordinances given initial approval Tuesday - final approval is scheduled for Dec. 18 - reflect that "some day" timetable. Vail Resorts has until 2020 to relocate South Frontage Road on the north side of the project. Once that's been done, the ordinances passed Tuesday will take effect.
Even then, there will be many more public meetings to get the project to the shovel-in-the-ground stage.
"The applicant is not requesting site-specific approval of buildings here," Vail Community Development Department Director George Ruther said. "They'll be required to submit development applications, and they'll add to the 85 discussions we've had."
At this point, it wouldn't seem there would be much to add to Ever Vail's current status. But representatives of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District weren't as eager for passage.
Rick Sackbauer, chairman of the district's elected board of directors, told the council the district still had some serious worries about the project. Ever Vail's 12-acre site will literally be next door to the district's Vail offices. That site, on the far west end of Forest Road, also includes a wastewater treatment plant, and there are future plans to built a drinking water treatment plant.
District manager Linn Brooks told the council the district needs a few things from eventual Ever Vail approvals. The biggest are access and legal language to protect the district from lawsuits filed by condo buyers.
"Ever Vail wraps around our property," Brooks said later. "The Vail (wastewater) plant doesn't have a lot of odors compared to plants in other communities. But there's always the potential for odors."
After asking several times, over the past few years, including Tuesday, district officials got what they wanted. There's now a written record of what the district wants in the Ever Vail documents.
"Our concern is that Vail Resorts Development Company's timing is uncertain," Brooks said. "If (construction) is well into the future, we don't want people to forget about this."

Can a Chair Be Racist? Critics, Defenders Trade Tweets
Outrage over a photo of Dasha Zhukova, editor of Garage magazine, sitting in a "black woman chair" has settled into a more measured, rhythmic online debate.
On one side people defend the sculpture-as-furniture, contending it is an artistic expression that may be provocative but is not racist or sexist. On the other, critics say the chair, which looks like a black woman bound so her upturned calves form a backrest, is yet another case of whites oppressing and marginalizing black women or women in general.
The trouble began earlier this week when the online magazine Buro 247 ran a story featuring Zhukova that included a photo of the editor sitting in the chair, designed by the often-controversial artist Bjarne Melgaard.
The chair design, which is part of a series of pieces that include human female forms used as tables and chairs, has chairs and tables, has been shown in public for some time, including an exhibit in Rome last spring and summer.
People familiar with Melgaard's work recognize the chair and related pieces as interpretations of similar work by the 1960s artist Allen Jones. However, the image of someone actually sitting on the chair appears to have salted societal wounds. Some critics argue the chair didn't become "racist" until Zhukova sat on it.
"I might not be an art critic but I know racist sexual objectification of women when I see it," said one commenter on Twitter.
"Finally, a sensible take on this bloody chair scandal. Despise how reactionary twitter can be," said another, referring to an article in the Guardian titled "Why There's Nothing Racist About the 'Racist Chair'"
Zhukova and Garage did not respond to requests for comment, nor did Melgaard.
You can see an image of the chair here.

Performance improvement for OCI_RETURN_LOBS in PHP OCI8 2.0.8
By cj on Mar 14, 2014
Reducing "round trips" to the database server is important for performance and ultimately for system scalability. A server round-trip is defined as the trip from PHP to the database server and back to PHP.
Reducing round trips makes everything more efficient: PHP is faster, there is less network overhead, the database doesn't have to do a context switch or do any processing for you. Applications have some control over round trips, for example by effectively using prefetching or by using an appropriate execute mode to minimize unneccessary rollbacks at the end of a script.
The bug filer of Bug 66875 noticed that PHP OCI8's implementation itself could reduce round trips if a particular LOB column meta data value was cached for the duration of a query instead of being re-requested for each row of the query result set.
So, now with OCI8 2.0.8, you should see a performance increase if
you are doing multi-row queries involving LOB columns returned as
$s = oci_parse($c, "select mylobcol from mylobtab"); oci_execute($s); while (($row = oci_fetch_array($s, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_LOBS)) !== false) { echo $row['MYLOBCOL'], "\n"; }
The bug filer tested the patch and added his performance improvement benchmark results to the bug report. The benefit in your environment will vary greatly with the network setup, schema, and how many LOB columns are queried. Test it out and let me know how the new version helps you.
There is no immediate change for LOBs fetched with OCI-Lob::read() and OCI-Lob::load(). This would require a more complex patch than I want to apply at this time. Queries that don't use LOBs are not affected in any way by the patch.
OCI8 2.0 is included in the forthcoming PHP 5.6 code base. For PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.5 you can install it from PECL. PHP 5.5 RPMs with PHP OCI8 2.0.8 are available from oss.oracle.com.
Finally, if your LOB queries return multiple rows, you might also like this tip to reduce PHP memory usage.

STOCKTON - A 26-year-old man was stabbed in the abdomen shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday while trying to stop a woman who stole hair care products from a business in the 1000 block of East Hammer Lane, police said.
The victim told police the woman concealed the products in her clothing. When he tried to detain her, she pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed him, police said. The victim was struggling with the woman on the ground when he was kicked by a male accomplice, authorities said.
The man and woman fled together, possibly in a tan Toyota Camry, police said. The woman was described as 18 to 20 years old and black with a light complexion, authorities said. She was wearing black sweat pants with a wide stripe, a gray long-sleeved shirt with a hood, a black vest and gray boots. The man was described as 18 to 20 years old and black with a medium complexion and a cleanshaven face, police said. He was wearing faded blue jeans with a white or gray sweater, a white or gray scarf and a large black purse.
The victim suffered minor injuries and declined medical treatment, police said.

Robert Edwards was right on (May 24 Letter) when he decried the high fees resident golfers have to fork over to play the undeniably beautiful but highly overrated Championship Course.
The records will show that the total paid rounds have declined every year as the prices have gone up. Last year I discussed pricing with a golf course official. I suggested that more rounds would be played if green fees were reduced. I was told two things. First, we need to maintain high fees to remain competitive. Competitive? The fees are the highest in the region. If you want to attract more players, you lower prices. Right? Wrong.
Which leads to the second thing, and this is a virtual quote: "We don't want to attract more players — the more we have, the harder it is to maintain the course." Can you believe that?
IVGID and course management have been living in a dream world for years. They have come to believe that the Championship Course is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It isn't. It is long. It is difficult. It is intimidating. Perhaps not for someone who regularly shoots in the 70s and 80s, but certainly for the average golfer, who shoots in the high 90s and above. Even the name is intimidating. Who can tell you what championship was played there and when?
Instead of raising fees every year at the behest of course management, IVGID should think seriously about making the course and fees more attractive to the average golfer and stop catering to low handicappers, who are delighted to be playing on a course with so few others. And they should certainly do something about the 1,000 or so free rounds that are handed out every year.

Why do womenaround the world use Promensil?
Clinical research has shown that in cultures consuming a natural diet abundant in isoflavones women have fewer and milder menopausal symptoms. Promensil active ingredients are Red Clover isoflavones' which complement the body's declining estrogen levels around menopause' so relieving menopausal symptoms and promoting breast health and heart health. Independent research has proven Promensil to be the only product to contain the amount of isoflavones claimed on the package. Natural and safe alternative for relief of menopause symptoms. Clinically tested and doctor recommended!
Benefits of Promensil®:
1) Reduce number of hot flashes.
2) Promotes general well-being.
3) Promotes breast health.
4) Promotes bone health.
5) Promotes heart health.
What's in Promensil?
Each tablet of Promensil is standardized to contain a total of 40 mg of four standardized isoflavones' genistein' daidzein' formononetin and biochanin sourced from red clover (Trifolium pratense). The biologically active ingredients are naturally occurring plant compounds' which are NOT chemically synthesized.
Promensil is free from sugar' yeast' milk derivatives' wheat and corn starch' gluten' preservatives' artificial colors and flavors.
How does Promensil work?
Isoflavones are phytoestrogens' which literally means' plant estrogens. Isoflavones are similar in chemical structure to the body's own estrogen' and when consumed in adequate amounts they are able to mimic some of the effects of estrogen to assist with maintaining health and well being. Isoflavones however are weaker than our natural estrogen' and are selective in their action in the body. Isoflavones supplement the needs of women over 45 when levels of hormones are declining.
When will I see a difference?
While this can vary with the individual' most women notice relief from symptoms within 2-5 weeks. The response may vary with the individual. If you have had absolutely no change in your well being after six weeks then you should contact your doctor or call Natrol' Inc.' as we may be able to suggest ways to improve the efficacy of Promensil for you.

Turkish-Islamic Union is a union of love. It is a union of affection, a union of hearts. The bases of this union are love, altruism, helping others, compassion, tolerance and understanding.
The Turkish-Islamic Union will not be an arbitrary, bureaucratic union. It will not be based on oppression in the sense of "Everyone must follow us, and those who lag behind must be enslaved." It will exist to build world peace, not to engage in enmity or take revenge or as a threatening element. Through this union, members of all faiths will be able to worship freely and visit all those sites that are sacred to their particular faith, while their possessions, lives and honor will be under the protection of the Turkish-Islamic Union. Under this union, unbelievers and the irreligious will also live in peace and be free to express their opinions.

- Apr 26:
- Purdy: You can learn a lot from the NFL draft
- 49ers move up to draft Auburn linebacker Lemonier
- Purdy: 49ers' Trent Baalke is a hoarder
- 49ers get their tight end, but it's not Ertz
- San Francisco 49ers trade down, grab defensive lineman Tank Carradine
- 49ers' top pick Eric Reid 'honored' team traded up for him
SANTA CLARA -- Safety Eric Reid, the 49ers' first-round draft pick Thursday night, arrived at the team's practice facility Friday dreaming big.
"We're starting against Green Bay, and if I can pick off Aaron Rodgers, that'd be nice," Reid said of the 49ers' regular-season opener Sept. 8.
Rodgers, who received a historic contract extension Thursday from the Packers, is the first quarterback Reid will face if he wins the starting free safety spot, vacated this offseason by Dashon Goldson. The 49ers traded up 13 spots Thursday to select LSU's Reid.
"I'm honored they traded up and got me," Reid said. "I expect to work hard, earn the respect of my teammates, and hopefully I can start."
Reid's competition at safety will come from Craig Dahl, C.J. Spillman, Darcel McBath, Trenton Robinson and Michael Thomas.
"Hopefully we'll be able to teach him why he's missed some tackles in the past and get him to eliminate those or keep them to a minimum," defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told 95.7 The Game. "We're confident he'll be a good tackler, and he'll need to be to join this group."
Reid is undecided on what number he'll wear. He posed for pictures with a customary No. 1 jersey, also his college number.
Defensive end Cornellius "Tank" Carradine claimed he had "no idea" the 49ers wanted him. Tight end Vance McDonald, a fellow second-round pick, figured his suitor would "come out of left field, and that's pretty much what happened."

The Peninsular Florida Conservation Region (Region 24*) encompasses most of Florida south of a line extending approximately from Jacksonville to Steinhatchee on the Gulf Coast. Florida had nearly 20.4 million acres of wetlands, of which some 9.7 million acres were palustrine emergent wetlands that typically were most valuable to waterfowl. Florida has lost approximately 13 million acres of wetlands, primarily to urbanization and agriculture. Wetlands in Florida have been adversely affected by introductions of several species of invasive exotic plants (e.g., water hyacinth). Nonetheless, Florida contains some wetland areas that serve as important migration and winter habitat in the Atlantic Flyway, nearly all of which are located within the peninsula.
Important waterfowl habitat in peninsular Florida occurs in association with major rivers such as the St. Johns and Kissimmee, natural lakes such as Lake Okeechobee and many smaller lakes, associated with interior prairie wetlands, and in isolated coastal areas, particularly at Merritt Island NWR. Nearly all of these wetlands have been affected to some extent by urban development or agriculture.
There are about 7,800 natural lakes in Florida, some of which produce aquatic vegetation and provide good waterfowl habitat (Johnson and Montalbano 1989). The Kissimmee River and Lakes all provide significant winter habitat for lesser scaup and ring-necked ducks. The St. Johns River Valley marshes and lakes provide winter and migration habitat for an additional 15,000 ducks on average. Unfortunately, much of the best habitat in this region has been lost to channelization, flood control, development, and drainage. Degradation of interior Florida lakes and deepwater marshes, particularly due to agricultural run-off and introduced exotic vegetation, has reduced numbers of birds over-wintering there, which likely is a direct response to reduced foraging habitat (Johnson and Montalbano 1989).
Recently, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers has undertaken a large-scale project to restore the Kissimmee River to its former channel, which will result in restoration of several thousand ha of emergent wetlands of great value to migrating and wintering waterfowl and resident mottled ducks. The first phase of that large-scale restoration effort was completed in 2001, with the entire project scheduled for completion in 2010. Peninsular Florida south of Alachua County has a resident mottled duck population of approximately 25,000-50,000 birds. Mottled ducks use interior wetlands and prairies extensively in Florida, and make only limited use of coastal habitats (Johnson et al. 1984, 1991). The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) completed a mottled duck conservation plan in 2003. The goal of that plan is to "maintain the Florida mottled duck as a functional member of the South Florida ecosystem, at a population that can sustain hunting and viewing opportunities over the long term." Ducks Unlimited conservation programs in peninsular Florida should, where and when possible, contribute directly toward the overall goals and objectives of the FFWCC Mottled Duck Conservation Plan.
The other major wetland ecosystem in the peninsula is Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades. With exception of Lake Okeechobee and an area referred to as the Everglades Agricultural Area located immediately south of the lake, the Everglades and associated habitats do not provide very high quality waterfowl habitat and winter relatively few birds. This system suffers from extensive alterations to hydrology for urban water supply demand, flood control, and eutrophication related to agricultural practices (Johnson and Montalbano 1989). Multiple canals and large water control structures divert much of the water for irrigation or municipal water supply to large metropolitan areas like Miami. Heavy fertilizer use on these relatively nutrient poor soils also has lead to heavy nutrient loading in the system, particularly for phosphorous. As a result, the everglades tend to be drier and water quality is poorer than in the relatively recent past, while Lake Okeechobee tends to be held at higher levels not conducive to growth of waterfowl food plants (Johnson 1987, Johnson and Montalbano 1989). A large, multi-agency effort, lead by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management District, is underway to restore the hydrology of this system and reduce nutrient loading. Various projects within this effort will be authorized through 2014, with subsequent completion subject to appropriation of funding. DU has not participated and has no plans to increase its direct involvement in the large-scale restoration effort in the Everglades due to the relatively low value of waterfowl habitat provided by the system.

That fireball seen winging across the Russian skies may just be a winter athlete from South Lake Tahoe.
Halfway across the world, hometown favorites Maddie Bowman, Kyle Smaine and Whitney Gardner arrived in Rosa Khutor, Russia, for a combined Freeski and Freestyle World Cup test of next year's Olympic venue. While Sochi is the official name of the upcoming Winter Games, the ski venues are 70 miles away at Rosa Khutor - a geographical tidbit not made clear to most of the visiting athletes.
For most of the competitors, simply the trip to Russia was an attraction; and despite the distance, with email and social media, these athletes were rarely far from friends and family.
Whitney Gardner, age 18 and a Tahoe native, was selected last year for the newly formed US Ski Cross team. She travels with her older brother, RJ, who serves as her coach and technician. The two have logged some serious miles, traveling to competitions across the US, Germany and Switzerland. Last week, the Gardners made the long trek to Russia.
"I'm a little confused as to how this is the 'winter' Olympic location," Whitney Gardner said via email. "There are palm trees ... I don't get it. We should be heading up to the mountain tomorrow, but organization here is not exactly on point, so we'll see when we actually get up there."
Closer to Sochi is the Coastal Cluster, where the ice events and main media center are located. The Mountain Cluster holds the Alpine Center, Extreme Park, X-C Center, mountain village for athletes and another media village. After traveling to the Mountain Cluster at Rosa Khutor, the Gardners saw how little snow existed and how much work is still needed.
"So far Russia has been lots of waiting, lots of stern faces, and some of the craziest terrain I have ever seen. To get on the gondola every morning we go through security. Yep, security ... the full bag scan, metal detector and pat down. It's pretty wild. Up on the hill there are armed guards all over the place and even a few snipers. Since Russia was recently in a war with Georgia, which is just on the other side of the mountains, they have snipers at the top of the mountain," Whitney explained via her blog.
"There is so much construction going on everywhere, I have no idea how they are going to get everything done in a year. The venue is really cool though. There is a finish for moguls, aerials, and half pipe. Then the finish for ski cross, border cross and slopestyle also meet. The ski and border cross start together and finish together, but they separate and intertwine through the middle section, which is sweet."
In a Skype call, Kelly Gardner said, "my daughter says there's plenty of snow at the top of the hill, but not much down at the bottom. RJ says they're doing something he's never seen before. They're drilling into what little snow they have at the bottom and plugging it with dry ice, trying to keep it as cold as possible."
Based on his own world points ranking in the halfpipe, Kyle Smaine, 21, told the Tribune, "I got my last-minute invite only two weeks prior to the event. So making all the necessary travel plans was hectic, but I'm so glad I was able to make it happen. It was an amazing experience. The mountains, and people and culture here in Russia are so different than in the US and most other European countries. Being able to see everything in person was great."
After finishing 30th in his event, the Heavenly-sponsored skier reported, "Weather conditions on the contest day were less than ideal, to say the least. They've been having an unusually warm winter here so the venues were extremely soft and lacking snow. On top of that, the morning we competed there was a heavy rain/snow mixture coming down, but that's part of competing in a winter sport. I skied pretty well for the conditions, but didn't do as well as I would have liked."
Despite the lack of snow and warm temperatures, average winter temps are 52 degrees, the women's halfpipe went off with few hitches. Halfpipe skier Maddie Bowman, 19, has been on fire all winter, winning the two previous World Cup contests. She scored a disappointing 11th at the Russian Extreme Park, falling on each run of what is being deemed a fairly gnarly pipe.
After landing back in the states, Bowman spoke of her Russian experience, saying, "it was amazing. I'm definitely a little disappointed with my results, but just in myself. We got to do some actual skiing over there and it was awesome. It reminded me why we do this sport. The mountains there are simply amazing. But the people, while nice enough, are really serious and we had to go through some crazy security check points. I honestly think it's more than our TSA does."
Despite wet, soggy snow conditions, all the athletes came back with the same goal. "Overall, it was a great experience, and it has motivated me even more so I can come back next winter for the 2014 Winter Olympics," Smaine said.

I can't underestimate the importance of water in your diet; many dermatologists say that you should be drinking the number of ounces equal to half of your body weight. Shocked? I was. But I've greatly increased my water intake. My skin looks far better and I'm losing weight without trying!

These are great tips. I already drink plenty of green tea and eat almonds, fruits and veggies and I can see a difference in my complexion when I don't consume these as often as I should.

I take a lot of these, but don't necessarily feel that I look younger for it. I do it for the health benefits though!

Good tips. I take tons of vitamins, as the US RDA recommendations are insufficient. Especially for women.

I agree with the advice for the vitamin C. Good article.

Great info! When I eat more E and C, my skin really shows a difference after a couple of weeks. (Much brighter and more "awake" looking.)

CALGARY, Alberta -- Sharks forward Tyler Kennedy has a lower-body injury and will not play in Thursday's game against the Calgary Flames, San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. Kennedy is considered day to day.
Kennedy played just seven shifts and had 2 minutes and 55 seconds of ice time before he left Wednesday's game at Edmonton, which went on to a 3-0 win that saw Oilers goalie Ben Scrivens break an NHL regular-season record with 59 saves without allowing a goal. Kennedy left the game for good late in the second period.
Kennedy entered Wednesday's game with four goals and 11 assists in 49 games but had taken on a slightly larger role with the team after it lost Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture to injuries.
McLellan said Thursday that Couture is working toward returning to the team from his hand injury before the Olympic break, which, for the Sharks, begins Feb. 8. The Sharks play four games at home before the break begins.
"If he can do it, we'll be really excited and we'll welcome him back with open arms," McLellan said. "But I can tell you we will not put him in a situation where there's any risk at all of him reinjuring it or, putting him in a situation where another body part gets injured because he's not completely ready to play."
McLellan said Alex Stalock will start Thursday's game in goal against Calgary, his third start in the last five games. Stalock started for the Sharks in their 3-2 overtime win at Calgary on Nov. 12.
