As the first national online database dedicated to burial and cremation records, Deceased Online is delighted to be a sponsor and exhibitor at Open the Door and Here are the People. Following our launch at London Olympia s Who Do You Think You Are Live in February, we ve been on the road meeting family historians and genealogists around the country and we re delighted to have received such a big thumbs-up for the new website, www.deceasedonline.com.
Deceased Online obtains burial and cremation data going back to the early 1800s from burial and cremation authorities, and we will shorty have records from over 10 councils around the UK. We will be building the database over the next few years, adding millions of records from hundreds of councils and other sources.
A whole range of records and images is available, including: Computerised burial and cremation records; transcripts of burial and cremation registers, containing a variety of information. All records kept since computerisation will be available in this form; some authorities have also transcribed some or all of their historical records.
High quality digital scans of burial and cremation registers; these vary by local authority and the type of information recorded in addition to statutory requirements. The most comprehensive hold great detail, including name, age, address and, sometimes, occupation of deceased; spouse s name; grave location reference and type (paupers, private etc); date of death; details of undertaker; details of clergy, religion and church or venue of bereavement service.
Scans are held on the website for most burials and cremations up to within three or four years of the present day. Details of all occupants of a grave; individual graves may have a number of interments (we ve seen as many as 15) and here you can see all the names of other people interred in the same grave as the sought-after person. This can be extremely useful in discovering relatives and other family links ..and often provides some real surprises!
Deceased Online is one of the few resources where you can get this information. Digital scans of books of remembrance; these crematorium memorial books contain decorative commemorative entries, sometimes with useful dates and informative emblems, such as regimental or professional insignia.
Deceased Online is aiming to be able to display digital scans held by the calligraphy companies who maintain these books. Photographs of grave headstones and memorials; these have started to be introduced to the website, and local authorities are keen to supply where they can. Older headstones can provide a range of information, even entire genealogies for several generations within a family.
Cemetery maps showing exact grave locations; these include a cemetery overview, an intermediate map indicating grave location and a detailed close-up indicating the exact location of the grave plot. This is extremely useful in locating a grave in larger cemeteries even if it has no headstone. The high quality images are presented using a flexible viewer, allowing maps, scans and photographs to be manipulated, printed and downloaded. Images and transcripts are accessed by spending credits bought on the website. The photographs cost £2 each and the cemetery maps cost between £5 and £10, depending on whether they are subject to Ordnance Survey royalties. All other data available costs £1.50 to access. Users search on names, dates and locations free of charge, and only purchase what they need. The revenue generated is shared with the contributor supplying the data.
You can find out more about burial and cremation records in conference F-09, Burial records for family historians presented by Alec Tritton on Friday 28 August just before lunch. We look forward to meeting you at the conference.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a-mi-o-TROE-fik LAT-ur-ul skluh-ROE-sis), or ALS, is a nervous system (neurological) disease that causes muscle weakness and impacts physical function.
ALS is often called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who was diagnosed with it. ALS is a type of motor neuron disease that causes nerve cells to gradually break down and die. In the United States, ALS is sometimes called motor neuron disease.
In most cases, doctors don't know why ALS occurs. A small number of cases are inherited.
ALS often begins with muscle twitching and weakness in an arm or leg, or sometimes with slurring of speech. Eventually, ALS can affect your ability to control the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. ALS can't be cured and eventually leads to death.
Early signs and symptoms of ALS include:
The disease frequently begins in your hands, feet or limbs, and then spreads to other parts of your body. As the disease advances, your muscles become progressively weaker. This weakness eventually affects chewing, swallowing, speaking and breathing.
However, ALS doesn't usually affect your bowel or bladder control, your senses, or your thinking ability. It's possible to remain actively involved with your family and friends.
In ALS, the nerve cells that control the movement of your muscles gradually die, so your muscles progressively weaken and begin to waste away.
ALS is inherited in 5 to 10 percent of cases. The other cases appear to occur randomly.
Researchers are studying several possible causes of ALS, including:
Protein mishandling. Mishandled proteins within the nerve cells may lead to a gradual accumulation of abnormal forms of these proteins in the cells, eventually causing the nerve cells to die.
Established risk factors for ALS include:
It may be that in some people ALS, is triggered by certain environmental factors.
Also, some studies examining the entire human genome (genome-wide association studies) found numerous genetic variations that people with familial ALS and some people with noninherited ALS had in common. These genetic variations might make people more susceptible to ALS.
Environmental factors under study that may modify a person's individual risk of ALS include:
Military service. Recent studies indicate that people who have served in the military are at higher risk of ALS. Exactly what about military service may trigger the development of ALS is uncertain, but it may include exposure to certain metals or chemicals, traumatic injuries, viral infections and intense exertion.
As the disease progresses, people with ALS experience complications, which may include:
Over time, ALS paralyzes the muscles needed to breathe. Some devices to assist your breathing are worn only at night and are similar to devices used by people with sleep apnea. For example, you may be given noninvasive positive pressure ventilation to assist with your breathing at night.
In the latter stages of ALS, some people choose to have a tracheostomy — a surgically created hole at the front of the neck leading to the windpipe (trachea) — to enable the full-time use of a respirator that inflates and deflates their lungs.
The most common cause of death for people with ALS is respiratory failure. On average, death occurs within three to five years after symptoms begin.
Most people with ALS will develop trouble speaking over time. This usually starts as some mild slurring of words, often intermittently, but progresses over time to be more severe. With time, speech becomes more difficult for others to understand, and people with ALS often rely on other communication technologies to communicate.
When the muscles that control swallowing are affected, people with ALS can develop malnutrition and dehydration. They are also at higher risk of getting food, liquids or saliva into the lungs, which can cause pneumonia. A feeding tube can reduce these risks.
Some people with ALS experience problems with memory and making decisions, and some are eventually diagnosed with a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia.
If you're having some of the early signs and symptoms of a neuromuscular disease such as ALS, you might first consult your family doctor, who will listen to your description of symptoms and do an initial physical examination. Then your doctor will probably refer you to a doctor trained in nervous system conditions (neurologist) for further evaluation.
Once you're under the care of a neurologist, it may still take time to establish the diagnosis.
If you've been referred to certain medical centers, your evaluation may involve an integrated team of neurologists, and other doctors and health care professionals trained in different aspects of motor neuron disease.
Doctors will give you a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose your condition. However, this process can be stressful and frustrating unless your medical team keeps you informed. These strategies may give you a greater sense of control.
An integrated team may prolong survival and improve your quality of care.
Your family doctor will carefully review your family's medical history and your signs and symptoms. Your neurologist and your family doctor may conduct a physical and neurological examination, which may include testing:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is difficult to diagnose early because it may appear similar to several other neurological diseases. Tests to rule out other conditions may include:
Electromyogram (EMG). During an EMG, your doctor inserts a needle electrode through your skin into various muscles. The test evaluates the electrical activity of your muscles when they contract and when they're at rest.
Abnormalities in muscles seen in an electromyogram can help doctors diagnose ALS, or determine if you have a muscle or nerve condition that may be causing your symptoms. It can also help guide your exercise therapy.
Because there's no reversing the course of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, treatments focus on slowing the progression of symptoms, preventing unnecessary complications and making you more comfortable and independent.
Because ALS involves complex physical, mental and social issues, you may find it helpful to have an integrated team of doctors trained in many areas and other health care professionals provide your care. Having an integrated team of doctors and other health care professionals manage your ALS care may prolong your survival and improve your quality of life.
Your team will help you select the right treatments for you. You always retain the right to choose or not choose any of the treatments suggested.
The drug riluzole (Rilutek) is the only medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration for ALS. The drug appears to slow the disease's progression in some people, perhaps by reducing levels of a chemical messenger in the brain (glutamate) that's often present in higher levels in people with ALS.
Riluzole may cause side effects such as dizziness, gastrointestinal conditions and liver function changes.
Your doctor may also prescribe medications to provide relief from other symptoms, including:
Breathing care. Over time, you'll have more difficulty breathing as your muscles become weaker. Doctors may test your breathing regularly and provide you with devices to assist your breathing at night.
In some cases, you may choose to breathe through mechanical ventilation. Doctors insert a tube in a surgically created hole at the front of your neck leading to your windpipe (tracheostomy), and the tube is connected to a respirator.
Physical therapy. A physical therapist can address pain, walking, mobility, bracing and equipment needs that help maintain your independence. Some measures include low-impact exercises to maintain your cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength and range of motion for as long as possible.
A physical therapist can also help you become accustomed to a brace, walker or wheelchair and may be able to suggest devices such as ramps that make it easier for you to get around.
Regular exercise can also help improve your sense of well-being. Appropriate stretching can help prevent pain and help your muscles function at their best.
Occupational therapy. An occupational therapist can help you compensate for hand and arm weakness in a manner that helps you to keep your independence for as long as possible. Adaptive equipment can help you to continue to perform daily activities such as dressing, grooming, eating and bathing.
An occupational therapist can also help you understand how to modify your home to allow accessibility if you become less able to walk safely.
Occupational therapists also have a good understanding of how assistive technology and computers can be used, even if your hands are weak.
Speech therapy. Because ALS affects the muscles you use to speak, communication becomes an issue as the disease progresses. A speech therapist can teach you adaptive techniques to make your speech more clearly understood. Speech therapists can also help you explore other methods of communication, such as an alphabet board or simple pen and paper.
Later in disease progression, a speech therapist can recommend devices such as tablet computers with text-to-speech applications or computer-based equipment with synthesized speech that may help you communicate. Ask your therapist about the possibility of borrowing or renting these devices.
Learning you have ALS can be devastating. The following tips may help you and your family cope:
Make decisions now about your future medical care. Planning for the future allows you to be in control of decisions about your life and your care.
With the help of your doctor, hospice nurse or social worker, you can decide whether you want certain life-extending procedures.
You can also determine where you want to spend your final days. You may consider hospice care options. Planning for the future can help you and your loved ones put to rest some common anxieties.
Team approach. At Mayo Clinic, neurologists work as a team with doctors trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation (physiatrists), physical and occupational therapists, nutrition specialists (dietitians), nurses, social workers and others to treat people with ALS. Depending on your need, many health care professionals are available and willing to become part of your team.
The integrated team is committed to providing for your needs and managing your condition through continuing care and follow-up appointments.
Doctors trained in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis diagnose and treat people with ALS at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for neurology and neurosurgery in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., are ranked among the Best Hospitals for neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic doctors who have training in neuromuscular conditions (neurologists) have experience diagnosing Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) and other brain (neurological) conditions that may cause your symptoms. You often can be evaluated and tested for ALS within two or three days.
Lou Gehrig's disease can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages because the symptoms are similar to many other disorders, including spinal cord diseases, muscle diseases and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, multifocal motor neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, spinal muscular atrophy and stroke. Doctors at Mayo Clinic have experience evaluating people for ALS and other conditions with similar symptoms.
To diagnose your condition, your neurologist will discuss your symptoms and any family history of neuromuscular diseases. Your neurologist will give you a complete physical examination and check for signs of muscle weakness. Your doctor may order various tests, including tests to rule out other conditions.
Diagnostic tests may include:
Doctors with training in neuromuscular conditions (neurologists), physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, physical and occupational therapists, speech therapists, swallowing disorder specialists, nutrition specialists (dietitians), social workers and other specialists work together as a team to treat many people each year who have Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). The integrated team is committed to providing for your needs and managing your condition through continuing care and follow-up appointments.
The treatment team meets regularly to discuss the most appropriate care for people who have Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Although ALS can't be cured, doctors focus on slowing the progression of your condition, relieving your symptoms, helping you maintain function through rehabilitation and improving your quality of life. The team partners with you and your family to provide care and support.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Doctors trained in neurology work with doctors in several areas to care for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
The ALS Center staff includes doctors with training in neuromuscular conditions (neurologists), physical and occupational therapists, a speech and language pathologist, a social worker, a nutrition specialist (dietitian), a breathing (respiratory) therapist and a nurse coordinator.

Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota actively study possible causes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Research includes identifying biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid that may someday help to identify and monitor loss of motor neurons in ALS and aid in monitoring response to treatment.
Research also includes identifying genes that may cause or contribute to the development of ALS. Researchers study genes that may predict people who are at high risk of ALS.
In addition, researchers study potential new treatments for people with ALS and ALS-related diseases and participate in clinical trials of potential new medications. For example, researchers study how stem cells potentially may be used to prevent cell death and tissue damage.

GSK makes hostile $2.6bn for Human Genome Sciences
10.05.2012 - After takeover negotiations were rejected by Human Genome Sciences GlaxoSmithKline has made a hostile bid.
London/Rockville – The British drugmaker said he will launch a tender offer of $13 per share next week totalling $2.6bn. Until now, the management of HGS, which co-markets the new lupus antibody Benlysta (belimumab), has resisted to GSK's takeover plans. The company that has partnered three of its clinical programmes with GSK said the offer was too low. In reality, HGS' shares were valued at $30 a year ago. GSK's bid represents an 81% premium on HGS current share value.
Analysts initially expected Benlysta to become a blockbuster with potential annual revenues of $2-3bn after it was approved in the US, Canada and Europe last year as therapy in adults with active autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus, with a high degree of disease activity despite standard therapy. However, market expectations of the first new treatment approved for lupus in 56 years were dented in Europe, where GSK markets the drug, after it was rebuffed in two lead markets. In late 2011, British NICE said the treatment was to costly. In May, German health technology assessor IQWiG said GSK failed to prove that the drug offers an advantage to standard therapy. Lupus patients will be charged $35,000 for 1 year of treatment in the US and $23,000 per year in Europe.
Besides the lupus treatment, which had been developed with GSK since 2006, HGS has two further compounds partnered by GSK in Phase III development. Darapladib, a small-molecule Lp-PLA2 inhibitor, is developed for the treatment of coronary heart disease and Albiglutide, an albumin-fusion protein targets the market for diabetes 2 therapies.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/gsk-makes-hostile-26bn-for-human-genome-sciences.html

Propane DetectorsWith propane providing both cooking fuel and other sources of power, keeping an eye on your propane tank and levels is important. There are several tools available to you for keeping track of fuel usage and the state of your tanks.
Perhaps the best way to keep an eye on your tank is to install a gas gauge. These little devices will let you know how much gas you have left in the current tank. They also have a built-in leak detector. If a leak is found, use the leak detection spray to narrow down the location and confirm the problem. Sometimes, the only issue is a loose connection.
Finally, invest in a carbon monoxide detector of some sort. This will help ensure that propane isn't leaking inside your camper or RV.

As the mayor and members of the Eagle Town Board of Trustees in 2005, we were disappointed to hear of the Gypsum Town Board's decision to end the revenue sharing agreement between our two towns, though many of us speculated that decision would have occurred regardless of the vote for-ERS.
The recent letter from Gypsum contains several inaccurate statements and assumptions, which we wanted to clarify.
The area east of Chambers Avenue was first proposed for development as the Red Mountain Ranch mixed use project in November of 2000. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) was submitted to the town of Eagle in January 2004, which included a Costco store as part of the proposal.
The revenue sharing agreement with Gypsum was signed in the spring of 2005 while the Red Mountain Ranch development proposal, with Costco as a tenant, was still being reviewed by the Eagle Town Board. The Red Mountain Ranch PUD was denied by a 5-2 vote in late June of 2005. It wasn't until March of 2006 that Costco and Gypsum formalized an agreement to build in the town of-Gypsum.
As originally envisioned, the revenue sharing agreement was to be a 60 percent/40 percent split on any large scale development at either the Airport Gateway or east Eagle property but due to previous restrictions of sales tax in Gypsum, the split was 84 percent/16 percent. The town of Eagle has no similar restrictions and would have provided a true 60 percent/40 percent split if Costco had been built in Eagle. As it was, the revenue sharing agreement would also have applied to Eagle River Station. -
At no time were discussions made that would limit one town or the other from approving large scale development anywhere within their respective communities. In fact to do so would so limit future boards abilities to deal with growth, traffic, infrastructure, and more as to potentially make providing municipal services impossible.-
Over the last five years Gypsum Town Board members have been asked on numerous occasions to make the revenue sharing agreement permanent by taking that issue to a vote of the people - something the Eagle Town Board was willing to do.
For Gypsum to say that Eagle, by approving ERS, has decided to no longer honor the agreement is completely false and misleading. If we were Gypsum residents, we would have to wonder why our government decided to end the agreement just at the point when Gypsum could begin to recoup some of the tax money paid to Eagle. -
While we agree there are many areas of mutual interest where the two towns can work together, this is not a very good step in that direction. Ultimately, we believe that while Gypsum will realize a short-term gain, they have lost out on a long term potential of dollars and goodwill.

Swansea reach Wembley (From Congleton Guardian)
Swansea reach Wembley
9:57pm Wednesday 23rd January 2013 in © Press Association 2014
Swansea reached the first major cup final in their 100-year history as a goalless draw saw them beat Chelsea 2-0 on aggregate - but the achievement was overshadowed by a moment of madness from Eden Hazard.
With just over 10 minutes remaining of the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg, and Chelsea needing to score twice to take the tie to extra-time, the Belgian lost patience when a ball boy refused to hand over the ball after it had gone out of play for a goal-kick.
The ball boy fell to the ground as Hazard attempted to get the ball from him with the Blues forward then trying to kick it from under him but instead he appeared to make contact with the youngster and referee Chris Foy produced a red card. Demba Ba and Oscar failed to convert Chelsea's best chances, as Swansea booked a Wembley appointment with Bradford.

Custom TaskList Portlet in Oracle BPM 11g
By Anusha Ganeshan on Mar 01, 2013
Oracle BPM 11g suite provides the BPM Workspace for end users to view and act upon tasks that are assigned to them. The various User Interfaces available for end users are:
- The BPM Workspace Application
- TaskList Portlet in WebCenter Spaces
Customers may need a task list portal as a part of their enterprise application with the tasks displayed in a format that is most appropriate to the business. A Custom Worklist Portlet can be built and consumed from other applications. This article describes solution that uses the Human Task Java APIs to query the BPM engine, Oracle ADF to build the custom portlet and Webcenter spaces to consume the portlet.
The benefit of this approach is that the business can continue to use the enterprise portal to complete the tasks assigned to them in a way that is most suited to the business.
The following sections describe how to build a custom Task List portlet that that can be consumed from Webcenter spaces.
1. Developing an ADF Project to display tasks, details, actions
2. BPM Authentication and Identity Propagation
3. Portletizing the ADF Application
4. Consuming the WSRP in Web Center
1. Developing an ADF Project to display tasks, details, actions
Create an ADF Application in Jdeveloper with a Java Class in the View Controller project to query the tasks from the BPM Engine.
a. Connect to the BPM Engine
BPM Provides the Work List APIs to query and Act upon tasks. The Task services can be accessed through SOAP connections.
Map properties = new HashMap<CONNECTION_PROPERTY, String>();
properties.put(CONNECTION_PROPERTY.SOAP_END_POINT_ROOT, wsurl);
// SOA server URL, http://[Server Name]:Port"
wfSvcClient =
b. Initialize the task attributes to be queried
List queryColumns = new ArrayList();
c. Execute the query
querySvc.queryTasks(ctx, queryColumns, optionalInfo, ITaskQueryService.AssignmentFilter.MY_AND_GROUP,null, null,null, 0);
d. Retrieve the task result set
for (int i = 0; i < tasks.size(); i++) {
Task task = (Task)tasks.get(i);
int taskNumber = task.getSystemAttributes().getTaskNumber();
String title = task.getTitle();
String taskId = task.getSystemAttributes().getTaskId();
String outcome = task.getSystemAttributes().getOutcome();
String state = task.getSystemAttributes().getState();
Right Click on the Java Class and create an ADF Data control. Drag and drop the data control on the JSPX to create the task list table.
2. BPM Authentication and Identity Propagation
Identity propagation provides a mechanism to propagate the user token (in this scenario we use the SAML token) when the user logs in to the BPM web service. This method does not required usernames and passwords to be sent as clear text in the code. The SAML token is created when the user logs in for the first time. The SAML token is passed to the BPM webservice to query tasks related to that user.
The following properties can be set for identity propagation:
properties.put(CONNECTION_PROPERTY.SECURITY_POLICY_URI, "oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy");
properties.put(CONNECTION_PROPERTY.SOAP_IDENTITY_PROPAGATION , "saml");
3. Portletizing the ADF Application
Portletizing the ADF application creates an Oracle JSF Portlet bridge that exposes the application as a JSR 286 portlet that can be consumed by other applications.
a. Right click on the jspx in the Application Navigator and click Create Portlet entry.
b. Deploy the Portlet to the WC_Portlet Server
c. Attaching a policy to the Portlet prodcucer end point
Login to the Enterprise Manager Console, expand Application Deployments. Right click on the deployed application and select Web services. Select
WSRP_V2_Markup_Servicefrom the list of Web Services.
Click Attach/Detach in the policies tab
Select oracle/wss10_saml_token_service_policy and click Attach
Click OK to save the changes
4. Consuming the WSRP in Web Center
a. Registering the Portlet
Login to the Web Center Spaces Server EM Console
Expand Service WebCenter Spaces, right click webcenter and select Settings->Service Configuration
Select Portlet producers -> Add
Enter the following details, test and click OK
b. Consuming the portlet
Add the Portlet in the Webcenter spaces page

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Database of the Thermophysical Properties of Gases
The 1999 Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) identifies "Equipment Modeling" as first in a list of "Technology Requirements" and states that "the drivers for equipment modeling are equipment design, process control, . . . " The ITRS indicates that continuing research is needed to obtain experimental data for "transport and thermal constants." This Project will generate transport and thermodynamic property data for the gases used in semiconductor processing. The data will be useful for equipment modeling in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes and the data will also provide a rational basis for the calibration of mass flow controllers (MFCs) used to meter process gases.
NIST is measuring the thermophysical properties of the process gases, the "surrogate" gases, and binary mixtures of process and carrier gases. The process gases are used in CVD and the surrogate gases are used to calibrate MFCs. The results will be disseminated in this data base providing the heat capacity, thermal conductivity, viscosity, and the virial coefficients for the virial equation of state providing the pressure-density-temperature relation for the process gases.

SANTA CLARA -- Upon further review, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh still feels as if he made the proper decision in challenging the officials' ruling of a catch by Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas.
Douglas caught a pass from Matt Ryan late in the fourth quarter on the Falcons' final drive of the game, when they marched from their 35-yard line to midfield and faced a third-and-2.
Ryan lofted the ball to Douglas near the right sideline, with Douglas snaring the ball before he fell to the ground and got back up to complete a 22-yard gain.
Harbaugh felt as if the ball moved when Douglas hit the ground, which sometimes is enough for a play to be ruled an incomplete pass.
"I definitely think it was a worthy challenge," Harbaugh said.
The officials upheld the ruling, which gave the Falcons a first down and sent Harbaugh into a rage on the sideline.
The 49ers stopped the Falcons six plays later to seal the 28-24 victory.
"The ball hit the ground," Harbaugh said. "It definitely seemed like the ground helped (Douglas) make the catch."
The failed challenge cost the 49ers a timeout. In the end, the play didn't affect the outcome of the game, though.
"That will incur some interesting debate," Harbaugh said of the controversial play.

It looks like the Egrip version of the Tippmann US Army Carver One is still a bit out. The last update I received from Tippmann is May 18th, about 3 more weeks. Sorry! I know some of you already have pre-orders for this new release from Tippmann but we can't ship them any faster than they can make them. Tippmann always makes sure to put out quality product. Some times the delivery date of those products gets pushed back because of this. But that's okay. Who wants a buggy gun? So be patient and we'll ship orders out as soon as we can.
You can still pre-order the Carver One with Egrip on our site. The Carver One Basic and the Power Pack are already in stock and shipping.
The US Army Carver One Paintball guns have the basic inline bolt system from a 98 and include built in sights and plenty of rails for mounting accessories .

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- News 12 has learned a former chief justice for the Supreme Court of Georgia has died.
Chief Justice Harold G. Clarke served from 1979 to 1994.
Chief Justice Carol W. Hunstein released the following statement:
"Sadly we learned this morning of the death of former Chief Justice Harold G. Clarke, who served with grace and fortitude on the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1979 to 1994. Justice Clarke passed away peacefully last evening with his family by his side.
It was my honor and privilege to serve with this towering figure of a man, who was Chief Justice when I came onto the Supreme Court in 1992. Justice Clarke was not only a great jurist, but he was a quiet, strong leader of principle and the kindest man I have ever known.
On behalf of the Supreme Court of Georgia, all of the justices express our gratitude for his legacy and lifetime of service and purpose, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family."

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Welcome to a spot where South Beach meets the Valley of the Sun; where heavy, moist, hot Florida air intermingles with light, dry, extremely hot desert air; and where the quality baseball that is played among the palm trees of Miami also gets played among the desert palms that populate the suburbs of west Phoenix.
The South Florida Elite Squad made the 2,000-mile one-way trip out here last year from their home base in Miami and worked tirelessly to win the inaugural 17u Perfect Game World Series national championship. The South Florida Elite Squad-Louisville Slugger returned to the 2nd annual 17u Perfect Game World Series this week a distinct Miami flavor as they look for a second straight title at the elite 16-team event.
As mid-summer approaches, the Elite Squad-Louisville Slugger can already boast five highly regarded prospects that have committed to the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Fla. Their feet might be planted in the ball fields at the Goodyear Ballpark Recreation Complex this week, but their hearts and minds are back in Miami-Dade County -- well, sort of.
"I like it out here," 2014 right-hander/third baseman Devin Meyer conceded on Tuesday. "It's not so humid and it's nice and hot, and I like the heat -- I think we all like the heat so it's pretty nice."
Meyer, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior at Coral Springs (Fla.) Christian High School who is from Coral Springs, is one of the five Elite Squad prospects that has committed to head coach Jim Morris and the Miami Hurricanes program.
"That's been my dream school the whole time I've been growing up," Meyer said. "My parents like that school, I like that school, we go to baseball games there, football games there. I just like Miami in general, so when the Miami scholarship (offer) came along I definitely committed.
Another Canes commit is 2014 6-foot-4, 225-pound left-hander/first baseman Michael Mediavilla, a senior at Mater Academy from Hialeah, Fla. Mediavilla was at the Perfect Game National Showcase in Minneapolis in mid-June and is ranked the No. 264 overall national prospect in his class.
"If you grow up in Miami you pretty much just see Miami games -- that's the biggest school around there," Mediavilla said. "You grow up around that atmosphere, and then the campus is beautiful and the coaches want to win. They're a growing program right now and I want to be a part of it; they have a long tradition and everybody wants to be a part of it."
The other SF Elite Squad-Louisville team members that have committed to the Hurricanes are: first baseman/left-hander Brian Gonzalez (2014, Miramar, Fla.), ranked 144th nationally; infielder Kirvin Moesquit (2014, Deerfield Beach, Fla.), ranked 202nd and another PG National Showcase alum; and infielder Roman Gonzalez (2015, Hialeah, Fla.), ranked 230th in his class. Brian Gonzalez was unable to be here this week due to other obligations.
"We're from the Miami area and, let's face it, a lot of the kids that play for me grew up watching Hurricanes baseball," SF Elite Squad founder and head coach Richie Palmer said Tuesday. "We do have some kids that say, 'Hey Coach, I'd like to get away' and we don't tell them to go to Miami; we kind of leave that up them. But we do get a bunch of kids that say, 'Hey, you know what? I'd like to stay at home. I grew up watching the Canes and I want to be a Cane.'"
Before they will ever wear the jersey of the Miami Hurricanes, the future Canes and all of their Elite Squad-Louisville Slugger teammates -- many of whom have committed to other high octane NCAA Division I programs -- are looking to repeat as 17u PGWS national champions.
The Elite Squad started the defense of that title with an inauspicious 3-0 loss to Marucci Elite Sunday night. They came back from an 8-1 third-inning deficit to beat the San Diego Show, 10-9, on Monday; beat the East Cobb Braves, 9-3, also on Monday; and topped the DBacks Elite Select Team, 6-2, in their first game Tuesday.
The Squad were getting no-hit by DBacks Elite left-hander Garvin Alston Jr. (2015, Phoenix) through four innings Tuesday and trailed 2-0 before collecting six hits in their last two half-innings and rallying for the win. Meyer threw six innings and gave up one earned run on six hits while striking out nine and walking none.
"I felt pretty good; I was probably at about 90 percent," he said of his outing. "I could have been better and I could have throwing harder but I was just trying to hit spots and go deep in the game. (Palmer) just told me to come out, give it my best and just grind out there -- don't give up and give it your all for the team."
Palmer badly needed those six innings from his reliable right-hander and future Hurricane.
"We had a couple of guys that couldn't make the trip for different reasons and we're not heavy in our pitching staff like we usually are for most tournaments, so each guy that goes out deep for us is huge," Palmer said. "It allows us to go out there and save a guy for another game and that's kind of how we're playing it. ... We're not going to save anybody and if guys can go a deep distance for us it's obviously going to help everybody out."
The South Florida Elite Squad went 5-1-1 in pool-play at last year's 17u PGWS, which was good enough to win their pool championship. They then beat surprising Team Northwest, 8-0, in one semifinal before topping the East Cobb Braves, 7-5, in the championship game. Palmer is the first to admit winning the 17u PGWS after playing nine games in five days (and in some cases this year, four days) against the country's best requires some extra effort.
"I told these guys, 'It's not supposed to be easy,'" Palmer said. "When you've got 16 of the best teams in the country, it's not going to be easy in any game here. ... I keep telling them, 'Do your job; if you do your job you're going to make this team better. Don't worry about all the other things, don't worry about the errors and strikeouts; just focus on you and doing the little things to help your team out and we're going to be where we want to be at the end of the day,'"
This is a veteran team, although Palmer is hoping for some offensive help from a couple of very talented 2015s. Outfielder Daniel Reyes (Miami Springs, Fla.), the No. 13-ranked national prospect in the 2015 class, and infielder Roman Gonzalez (Hialeah, Fla.), ranked 230th, have proved to be valuable additions.
Palmer also refuses to talk about "back-to-back" PG national championships simply because this an entirely different team. He just keeps reminding them that advancing to Thursday's final four will not be easy and told them, "... if you're expecting an easy victory you're at the wrong tournament."
"That's why I love this tournament and I think that's why (the players) do to," he said. "They enjoy that every game is intense and you can go out and beat every opponent or they can beat you, and that's what we really enjoy."
Palmer has told this team he feels like this team has "underachieved" this summer and have not performed at the level at which they're capable of; the players are getting the message.
"We've been playing tough right now and our bats have come around," Mediavilla said. "We're playing the best teams in the country right now and it's just a great tournament; you can't underestimate anybody because if you do you're going to go home. You've got to go out here and just give it your all.
"We come in expecting win; we have a team that can win," he continued. "We have the defense, the offense, the pitching ... and I think we have a chance and if we keep on hitting the way we are and stay humble, we have a chance of coming through."
In addition to the "Coral Gables 5", this Elite Squad-Louisville Slugger roster also boasts three players that have committed to Florida International and two to the University of Florida. The two Florida commits really stand out in the previously mentioned Reyes and middle-infielder Johnathan India (2015, Coral Springs, Fla.), ranked 45th nationally in his class. The top FIU recruit is catcher/outfielder Spencer Levine (2014, Miami), who is ranked 58th the 2014 class.
But there is no denying the attraction to "The U" for these young players; not only did they grow up in the area but they've been closely watched. Palmer gives a lot of credit to Miami assistant coach/recruiting coordinator Gino DiMare and assistant coach/pitching coach J.D. Arteaga from head coach Jim Morris' staff for keeping track of his prospects.
"It seems like they're everywhere we go, they see our guys, they're on them and they're good at the recruiting process," Palmer said. "They make our players feel like, 'Hey, this is where I want to be' so I give credit to that staff. They've been very good to us and ,hey, it's the Canes.
"The kids grew up watching them ... and there's a lot of history and tradition at that ballpark down there, and I think a lot of those kids want to go down there and experience that again and hopefully get them back to Omaha (at the College World Series). That's what their goal is."

Now That's More Like it (and a few other things)
First, the other things.. Figures Torres plays out of his mind, and gets a 91st min winner, or we could have had a little breathing room in 2nd place ahead of the HUGE match w/ Arsenal. 2nd, US commentary said today's Chelski Citeh match featured a combined $1.3Billion dollars worth of players, just pathetic. 3rd, Southampton are not going away, they're going to be in the top 6 conversation all year. 4th, I think Spuds may just win every game 1-0 on Soldado pk's, their D is impressive. And 5th, Borini scored an absolute stunner for the Sunderland winner, which was great to see, because I've been upset he's on loan and 2 managers haven't used him at all, which I'm sure is not part of a loan agreement, while Altidore looks lost. Good for Fabio, we could always welcome him if he plays like that when he's on..
Ok, now on to yesterday and Arsenal. That was probably the finest we've played all season, by a long shot, if nothing else, while in this 3-4-1-2 formation. I felt that PK was very harsh, just a collision with Lucas in the box, so I felt as if we did keep a clean sheet despite the goal. Skrtel was everywhere, and Sakho looked his best so far, Toure good enough. I don't care that it was West Brom, whereas someone like Colin would have complained as if they don't count, yet West Brom just won at Old Trafford, and held Arsenal to a draw, ending their 9 match winning streak, and who also beat us twice last year, 3-0 and 2-0. We're finding ways to outclass the teams we struggle against with parking the bus.
As for next week, I really think we need to revert back to a normal back 4, because Giroud is good enough to cause some problems, and if his hold up/link up play is on, Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere etc., will all find space and pick the 3 cb system apart. As for who starts, for me, Glen, Skrtel, Aly, and Agger. I'm not sure if Agger is on his way, but we could use his ball skills vs a technical side. 4 Cbs also lets Jordan stay & makes room for Coutinho..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Hi Jason, I agree with almost everything here. For me we looked fluid and in control for almost the entire match, never took the foot off the gas, and played as well if not better in the second half as we did in the first. I think some credit has to go to Henderson and Gerrard who really rotated that attacking midfield role and really knitted together the midfield and the front line. And, of course we were solid in the back, and like you think the only thing that spoiled the match was the penalty call which looked soft at best..
I'd agree with Colyn also that pulling Moses out of that advanced central role may have been the key move. However I really do rate the lad, but think his best role is really to be wide in an attacking 3 where his pace ability to take on a player and be direct is his best asset.
I'd also discount anyone saying its just WBA. Yes they are not a likely top 4 contender so we'll know more next week when we match up with Arsenal, but Brom are a solid top half team, who've had our number recently, and as you said have found a way to get results against the top clubs.
The only thing I'd question is the formation for next week. To be honest I'm not sure what is best, and have advocated we go back to a back 4 for a couple weeks and have been wrong. But looking at the threat from Arsenal, if we can keep their full backs occupied (and wing backs maybe the best way of doing that) I see everything coming through the center. They'll have Giroud up top on his own, who is a handful but I think Skrtel in the center can handle him, so the threat is the midfielders coming from deep, and either denying them the ball, or clogging things up I think maybe the best way to frustrate them. So long as we can then transition the ball through the midfield to the attackers I think we have a good chance of getting a result.
One final thought, good shout out on Borini. Not sure the lad would make it to our bench right now, but good to see him in action.
Shamefully I missed the game. Cross fingers I can see it later. But discussing the game with my cousin last night in the pub he agreed that we played very well indeed and I welcome it.
By all accounts Gerrard was playing in a more advanced role? Moses didn't make the starting 11 which I think is right. So far he hasn't impressed me at all and that advanced midfield role is so crucial and you need someone with some ability in there. Vision, control, movement and just plain and simple ability on the ball.
For Arsenal I'm not overly concerned about Giroud it's the players behind him that bug me most. Ozil, Ramsey and Corzolla in particular. They need to be taken out of the game by holding possession better than we have done so far this season.
one other thing is that Arsenal are a little bit susceptible to being hit on the break if Flamini and Arteta aren't playing. Ozil will not track back

Teens allegedly start fire
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 7:37 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 10:39 a.m.
Four teenage boys are charged with shooting flare guns at a home, starting a fire that engulfed the house, Houma Police said.
The home was under construction, detectives said. At this time, police are reporting that the home was unoccupied.
The home's address is 281 Grand St., and police got the call at 7:09 p.m. Thursday, detectives said.
"Houma Fire was able to extinguish the fire after a long and extensive battle with the flames," Houma Police said in a statement.
Witnesses told police that teenage boys were shooting flare guns at the home. Detectives also learned that some teenage boys were suspected of stealing several flare guns from the Walmart on Grand Caillou Road. Detectives showed the surveillance video to witnesses, who said they were the same boys, police said.
Officers said they found one of the boys, a 15-year-old, walking near Payne Street and Roselawn Avenue. Ultimately, Houma Police arrested three additional 14-year-old boys. They were booked into the Terrebonne Juvenile Detention Center on charges of illegal discharge of a weapon, simple arson and theft.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation may be playing Santa this year, opening the new Seventh Street Bridge in time for the holidays.
The span over Interstate 80 and McMichael Creek in Stroudsburg could open as early as Dec. 14, according to PennDOT.
The crumbling, structurally deficient bridge had to be torn down and replaced over the past 18 months. The span, closed since July 2011, was originally expected to be open by the end of last month. The project cost is $7.9 million.
Another local bridge remains on schedule to open Friday, dependent on weather conditions this week, according to PennDOT.
The Seven Bridge Road bridge, situated south of Twin Falls Road and north of the Marshalls Creek bypass traffic circle, has been closed for three months.
It is part of the third stage of the Marshalls Creek bypass project that began in 2010.

The film documents activists, families and clergy on both sides of the campaign to legalize gay marriage and examines homophobia in the black community's institutional pillar—the black church and reveals the Christian right wing's strategy of exploiting this phenomenon in order to pursue an anti-gay political agenda.
The New Black takes viewers into the pews and onto the streets and provides a seat at the kitchen table as it tells the story of the historic fight to win marriage equality in Maryland and charts the evolution of this divisive issue within the black community.

OmahaJobs: website
Anchored by The Reader, Nebraska's only nationally-recognized alternative newsweekly, Pioneer consists of 10 media channels — five print, five online — with an established market share in Omaha's fastest-growing and active demographic and advertising segments and one of the most established, local freelance content provider networks. A total estimated audience exceeding 100,000 adults makes Pioneer the only non-traditional local media company in the top 10 by audience size, demonstrating proven growth since its start in 1992.
Pioneer's seeds were first planted in 1991 by a group of college kids involved in Omaha's nascent homegrown music and culture scene, leading to a non-profit monthly that broke away from the stale and conservative reporting found in traditional local media. That all-volunteer effort became Omaha's third metropolitan newsweekly since WWII and the first to be accepted for membership in the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. The Reader's first issue was published in February of 1994 by a group of five, including current publisher John Heaston, out of an apartment at 49th and Dodge. Things only grew from there.
Over the next decade-and-a-half, the paper endured a couple changes in ownership while a series of quality editors kept a keen focus on providing Omaha with cutting edge news and sharp cultural coverage, each issue complete with great writing, great presentation and the city's most complete event listings. "With each paper, a better paper" became the motto and over time, The Reader gained the trust of Omaha's residents and eventually established itself as a staple of the city in its own right. Operations also steadily improved, as for a time The Reader was published out of a train car that was attached to a brewery on 78th and Cass (1995) before it enjoyed stints at offices downtown (1996-1999) and in historic Dundee (2000-2007) until landing in its current location in the immigrant hub that is South Omaha.
Also during that time, The Reader's parent company, Pioneer Publishing, diversified into fast-growing consumer and advertising segments, including: TheReader.com (2002) Today's Omaha Woman (2003), under a publishing agreement with the Women's Fund of Greater Omaha ABM Enterprises-The Leader in Latino Print Publications (2004) OmahaJobs.com (2005) Directorio Latino Sioux City (2007) OmahaCars.com (2009) Neighborhood News and MetroNeighborhoodNews.com (2010) DishOmaha.com and OmahaJobs.com Job Fairs (2011).
Over the past 21 years, The Reader has published well over 25,000 stories, thanks to contributions from hundreds of creative individuals. In addition to event listings, edgy feature stories and vigorous coverage of Omaha's music and arts scenes, staples of the magazine include an alternative health column by Michael Braunstein, a local music column from Tim McMahan and a mysterious horoscope written by local blues artist MoJoPo. We are publishing nearly 17,000 copies each week that are distributed to roughly 650 delivery points. Other Pioneer publications such as El Perico and Today's Omaha Woman have also expanded their presence in Omaha over time.
The focus on the future is now. We launched a revamped website (TheReader.com) in January 2015 that provides Omaha with unique access to the printed paper's content as well as online exclusives and blogs. Smart phone apps are right around the corner, too. The experienced in-house staff and enthusiastic contributors that make up our Reader team are prepared to continue providing Omaha with the same honest, thorough and provocative coverage of the city's culture and news as we transition into the age of new media. But whether you're flipping through our pages or tapping around on your phone or tablet, we hope you'll keep reading. It's an exciting time to be in Omaha. It's an exciting time to be a part of The Reader.

HARROGATE, TN -- The Lady Railsplitters combined to pound out 21 hits and 19 runs in a commanding two-game sweep over the Bobcats of Lees-McRae College in non-conference softball action on Thursday afternoon at Dorothy Neely Field. Lincoln Memorial University (4-6) took an 8-0 win in five innings in the opener before closing the day with an 11-0 win in five innings in the finale over Lees-McRae (0-10).
Lincoln Memorial will be back in action tomorrow afternoon, as rain in the forecast moved Saturday's doubleheader with Limestone College up a day. The Lady Railsplitters and Saints are scheduled to start at 1 p.m. at Dorothy Neely Field.
Game One Box
Lincoln Memorial 8
Lees-McRae 0 (5 innings)
The Lady Railsplitters scorched their way out to seven combined runs in the first two frames and pitcher Amanda Snow carried a no-hitter into the fourth inning, as Lincoln Memorial rolled to an 8-0 victory in the opener.
Sophomore Amanda Snow (2-1) picked up the complete game shutout by limiting the Bobcats to only three hits and fanning six batters to spearhead the Lady Railsplitters' victory. On the other side, Kristen Oakes (0-5) was saddled with the loss after surrendering nine hits and six earned runs over a four-inning span.
After an unblemished top half of the first, the Lady Railsplitters put four runs on the board in the bottom half of that frame to effectively grab command of the contest. Brianna Mulkey and Kirstin Toole opened the inning with back-to-back singles but Mulkey was caught stealing at third to notch the first out of the frame. However, Sarah Walz followed with a single and Laura Taricano was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Toole scored during the next at-bat on a wild pitch and Cierra Mudd slammed her first home run of the season later in that at-bat to give the Lady Railsplitters a 4-0 lead.
Amanda Decker singled for the Bobcats to lead off the top of the second inning and reached third following a pair of wild pitches, however, she was stranded as Amanda Snow notched strike outs on all three outs to stifle that scoring opportunity for Lees-McRae.
In the bottom of the second, the Lady Railsplitters started back where they left off, tallying three runs on a hit and two errors to storm out to a 7-0 lead. Kelly Dreier reached on a throwing error to spark that rally and later scored on another error by the Bobcats. Brianna Mulkey, who reached base on a walk earlier in the inning, also scored on that Bobcat miscue. A single by Amanda Snow in the next at-bat moved Kirstin Toole, who was put on base due to the Bobcats' second error, to third, and she was sent home on Sarah Walz's sacrifice fly out.
Neither team would score in the third frame but the Lady Railsplitters plated an insurance run in the bottom of the fourth on a solo blast off the bat of Kirstin Toole. With that home run, LMU moved into an 8-0 lead on the scoreboard. Lees-McRae notched a pair of singles in the top of the fifth, but they would come up empty in that frame as the Lady Railsplitters rolled to an 8-0 victory in eight innings.
Brianna Mulkey and Kirstin Toole headlined the Lady Railsplitters' nine-hit effort with two hits apiece. Toole also scored in all three of her plate appearances and chipped in with two RBIs. Five other players notched a hit for Lincoln Memorial with Cierra Mudd headlining that group with her three-run blast in the opening frame.
The Bobcats were held to only three hits in the game with all three of those singles coming over the final two-inning stretch.

Lees-McRae 0 (5 innings)
The Lady Railsplitters used an eight-run outburst in the bottom of the second and a stellar pitching performance from starter Samantha Smith to roll to an 11-0 victory over the Bobcats in five innings.
Samantha Smith (1-3) tallied another complete game shutout for the Lady Railspitters by limiting the Bobcats to only two hits over a five-inning span. Smith struck out two and did not walk a single batter in the victory. Hollie Crickenberger (0-5) surrendered 12 hits and six earned runs en route to earning the loss on the mound for Lees-McRae.
Both teams were held off the scoreboard in the opening frame, however, Lincoln Memorial responded in a big way in the bottom of the second by pouring on eight runs to storm into the lead. Laura Taricano led off with a single and immediately scored in the next at-bat on Cierra Mudd's RBI double. Jordyn Wilson followed Mudd's double with another single to plate the second run of the frame. A muffed throw on Danae Reed's grounder in the next at-bat put runners on the corner and Brianna Mulkey singled to load the bases in the next at-bat. Kirstin Toole drove two runs in with a two-run double, while Wilson and Sarah Walz also came back around in the lineup to record a pair of two-run singles, as the Lady Railsplitters rolled out to an 8-0 lead in that frame.
The Lady Railsplitters held the Bobcats scoreless in the top of the third and came back in on offense where they posted a three-spot to extend their lead. Kirstin Toole popped a two-run double in that inning and Laura Taricano posted a sacrifice fly out to accumulate that scoring frame for Lincoln Memorial.
Lees-McRae would be held to only one hit over the final two innings as Lincoln Memorial rolled to an 11-0 victory in five innings to cap the two-game sweep over the Bobcats.
LMU slammed 12 hits in the game, spearheaded by Brianna Mulkey's three-for-four effort. Kirstin Toole pounded two hits in three plate appearances with four RBIs to her credit, while Jordyn Wilson got in on the act with two hits and three RBIs. Sarah Walz was also a big contributor in the contest with two hits and two RBIs.

Nearly 12 million people tuned in for the season premiere of "Duck Dynasty" on A&E this summer, making it the most-watched nonfiction series telecast in cable history. The show celebrates duck hunting, faith and redneckery, but it also reveres another cultural icon — the beard.
Through four seasons of watching the Robertson men hunt, blow things up and gather around the family dinner table, viewers have also seen the men's stubble grow to unruly forests of fur. Their beards often become part of the plotlines, and the show's popularity means anyone out in public with a full beard could be mistaken for a member of the family Robertson.
Other shows have also jumped on the beard bandwagon, most notably IFC's "Whisker Wars," a reality TV spot that follows the international sport of bearding. The competitors, whose egos are as big as their beards, travel from town to town competing against other facial hair farmers for coveted titles and a chance to battle it out — beard style — at the annual World Beard & Mustache Championships, this year held on Nov. 2 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany.
The High Country has also embraced another trend: No-Shave November, a month-long homage to hair that raises awareness and funds for cancer research. The fundraising campaign started November 2009 on Facebook with fewer than 50 participants and has grown to include thousands of people across the globe.
So what's with this fascination with the five o'clock shadow?
Whiskery historyTo understand beards, you have to understand a little bit of their history. Men in ancient Egypt started shaving their faces as far back as 3,000 B.C., but even then, the upper echelons would don decorative false beards as a sign of royalty. In ancient Greece, philosopher and teacher Socrates and other intellectuals of his time wore beards as symbols of wisdom.
The Catholic Church has notoriously had trouble making up its mind about beards. According to "Beards: An archaeological and historical overview," an academic paper by Marion Dowd, "At different times in the Church's history, beardlessness was seen to reflect a celibate life, with the beard linked to sexual activity, the devil and evil," but "by the ninth century, Catholic priests wore beards while the Greek Church remained clean-shaven, … in medieval times, the reverse was the case."
Dowd goes on to write, "Military leaders throughout time have made the trimming of beards and hair obligatory for soldiers for reasons of hygiene, as well as for military prowess." Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, adhered to the military trend in the late 1800s with some awesome, no doubt fear-inspiring, temple-to-jaw sideburns possibly modeled after the namesake Civil War-era chops made famous by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside.
The mane eventNo matter the inspiration or moral motivation, carefully cultivated chin growth moved from necessity to fashion to art recently with the advent of worldwide bearding competitions, the annual finale of which is the World Beard & Mustache Championships.
The World Championships might draw the crème de la crème of beards and wacky freestyle facial topiaries, but those growing out their cheek fuzz don't have to travel to Germany to find some friendly bearding competition.
Each March in the High Country, local beards are put to the test during Mustache March, with heated contests cropping up all over the county. Tonda Sublett, manager of the Breckenridge Hair Co., said a little bit of everything walks through their door in the form of facial hair, but the craziest looks come in the spring.
"For Mustache March, we have a lot of guys who grow their beards all winter and then do something silly for the competitions around town," she said. "Mostly, we have the standard grizzly mountain man beard. They grow it for three months and then come in to have the crazies taken care of."
Here in Summit County, beards provide protection from wind and sun, a repository for snow from powder day face shots and even just an excuse to not buy a razor.
"Some people like it low on the cheeks or the jaw line," Sublett said. "Most men here just kind of let it go, and we'll clean up their cheek lines and around their mouths so they aren't tickling the ladies."
Sublett said she has a couple of clients who just come in for beard trims, but most of the trimming comes complimentary with a haircut. Beard maintenance can be as simple as putting a guard on a pair of clippers and taking it all down a hair or as complex as hand fades.
"I think there's that kind of mountain man persona that most men here like to adopt," Sublett said. "They pretend that they don't care and it gets to a point that they start to care; it's the same thing when it comes to barbering."
Despite differences in style and function from decade to decade and place to place, the beard has lived on in one way or another throughout history and around the world. So let's salute the bold, beautiful beard and the men who maintain the trend — happy bearding!

SAN JOSE -- Time flies when the Sharks aren't having fun. If you have been marking your calendar, then you know it's been almost two weeks since the Summer of Shame began. Back on April 30, the Sharks lost Game 7 to the Los Angeles Kings, a mortifying collapse from a 3-0 series lead.
And so far, this is what we know about the repercussions:
(Insert white space here.)
Two days after the defeat, as players cleared out their lockers, Sharks general manager Doug Wilson spoke about the "open wound" of the series defeat. Looking ahead, Wilson promised that the status quo was "not an option" while frankly admitting that his own job status could be in question.
And so far, this is what we know about Wilson's job security, or whether the quo will indeed remain status:
(Insert still more white space here.)
Somewhat oddly during that same interview, Wilson said: "My recommendation is that our coaching staff be part of this, going forward."
Wilson later clarified that yes, this meant he was standing 100 percent behind coach Todd McLellan and his assistants. But the wording of Wilson's statement implied that it might not be his choice because the final decision would belong to franchise owner Hasso Plattner, the German billionaire and SAP honcho.
And so far, this is what we know about whether Wilson's decision to retain McLellan has been affirmed by Plattner:
(Insert as much white space here as you can find. In German.)
Monday, messages were left at the Sharks' offices and on Wilson's phone, seeking any updates. There was no immediate response. However, league sources say that Wilson will indeed return along with McLellan -- and that there reportedly has been internal agreement about a significant roster shake-up.
Which, if true, is fine and newsworthy. But someone needs to come out and publicly outline all of it to the folks who buy tickets -- as well as to, you know, the players themselves.
What the heck is going on? Consider the contrast with the Bay Area's other winter pro sports franchise, the NBA Warriors. They actually finished their season three days after the Sharks, losing their own Game 7 crusher. But within a week, stuff happened. Fingers pointed. The team's ownership simmered. The coach bristled. Players opined. The coach was fired. The general manager elucidated. The owner rationalized. The fired coach vented on radio shows. The search for a new coach began.
What a difference, eh? Joe Lacob, the Warriors' controlling owner, can bluster and strut annoyingly. But at least you know where he is at all times. Plattner, the Sharks' proprietor, takes a different approach. He disappears into thin air, or onto his yacht, and says nothing.
Wilson indicated on May 2 that he would take 10 days or so to present Plattner an action plan for approval or rejection. Maybe that's what was happening Monday. But the owner must make a firm decision quickly on the franchise future.
Otherwise, rumors gurgle. The Toronto Maple Leafs are supposedly shopping top defenseman Dion Phaneuf, and the Sharks have been mentioned as a possible trade partner. McLellan's contract has two more seasons to run. But the gossipy grapevine, especially in Canada, continues to speculate where he might land if the Sharks dismiss him. And should that occur, McLellan deserves to know as soon as possible, so that he doesn't get shut out of the best job openings. The same holds true for Wilson, if Plattner plans to make a G.M. switch.
Over the past week, Wilson has held multiple meetings with McLellan and his coaches. We do know that much. In the past, the coach and general manager have worked through any disagreements about players and their roles. Can they do so again after the trauma of these playoffs?
McLellan is surely weary of coaching the same cast of characters who give him the same inconsistent performances. But can Wilson really follow through if he desires to create a major roster earthquake? And what would such an earthquake look like?
More and more, you get the feeling that it could look like four or five big names leaving town. Dan Boyle won't be back if he wants a two-year contract, which he does. Antii Niemi might have played his last game as a Sharks goalie. Even those recent three-year extensions signed by Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau could contain small trade exceptions, if the contracts are like the others negotiated by Wilson. Remember how Dany Heatley was supposed to have a no-trade clause but didn't?
None of this gossip is healthy. Whatever the future Sharks blueprint, it's time to get on with it. Plattner needs to quickly issue a statement about Wilson's and McLellan's future -- or needs to authorize Wilson to make the statement, or needs to hire a skywriting plane to proclaim his verdict. Or something. Or anything. Otherwise, the Summer of Shame will continue to fester with no purpose. And this is what the festering accomplishes:
(Insert white space here that's the size of whichever ocean Plattner's yacht is sailing on right now.)
Skipper, we need answers.

First of all, thank you for the best media server software for the PS3.
If a file does not play normally without transcoding, say an MKV file, would it be possible to automatically use MEncoder to transcode it. Instead of forcing the user to go into to #transcode# folder to play the file.
This could be controlled by a configuration option.
Is this feasible? If so, would anyone else like to see this feature implemented?
I am a Java developer and can help implement this - with help and guidance from the project lead.
Thanks & Regards

PALO ALTO -- Former San Jose State University football player Kariem McFarlin was sentenced this week to seven years in state prison for burglarizing several Bay Area homes, including one that belonged to the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs.
McFarlin, 35, pleaded no contest Nov. 21 to eight felony counts of residential burglary and one felony count of selling stolen property. The Alameda resident could have faced up to 16 years and four months, but Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Thang Nguyen Barrett agreed to cap his maximum sentence at seven years and eight months in exchange for the plea.
McFarlin could end up serving just half of his seven-year sentence, said Tom Flattery, deputy district attorney. For good behavior, he will be credited two days for every day served.
Flattery said the victims of McFarlin's crimes were satisfied by the sentence handed down Thursday. It includes restitution.
"I think we got his attention," said Flattery, referring to McFarlin's contrite demeanor while in court. "I don't think he'll be a problem in the future. I'd be very surprised if he was."
McFarlin's burglary spree kicked off March 4, 2011, in Alameda and eventually spanned four Bay Area counties, according to prosecutors. He targeted residences in affluent neighborhoods that were undergoing construction or remodeling and appeared to be vacant.
Jobs' home on the 2100 block of Waverley Street in Palo Alto was one such home. On the night of July 17, 2012, McFarlin crept into a garage, found a set of keys and looted the residence. Among the items he took were $60,000 worth of Tiffany & Co. jewelry, several Apple gadgets, kitchen appliances and the California driver's license of the late CEO.
Technology that Jobs helped create led to McFarlin's capture. When he connected the stolen devices to the Internet with his iTunes account, Apple investigators were able to identify him using an IP address. After gathering more evidence, police swarmed his Alameda apartment and arrested him Aug. 2.
Prosecutors ultimately determined McFarlin was responsible for seven other burglaries in Alameda, Marin and San Francisco counties, and had tried to sell some of his ill-gotten goods.
McFarlin's private attorney, James Kellenberger, previously told the Bay Area News Group that his client was wasn't a career criminal. He received a football scholarship to San Jose State University, graduated from college and held various jobs over the past 15 years. But he started breaking into homes when he lost his most recent job as a medical supplies salesman.
Other than the connection to Jobs, Flattery said the case was unremarkable and handled no differently than any other.
