The calls to move the Athletics to San Jose have started back up with a vengeance, because apparently a clogged sewer line in the Coliseum means every current and future building in the city of Oakland will have similar plumbing problems. Or you can go back to the last reason, a lack of fan support for a team that hadn't won more than half their games since 2006. Or was it stubbornness over a perceived slight by the Oakland city government nearly a decade ago?
Regardless of the excuse, what it boils down to is that Lew Wolff and the rest of the current ownership group are unwilling to entertain any possible stadium locations outside San Jose, ignoring overtures from the city of Oakland and the deafening silence from Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig whenever the topic of shifting territorial rights comes up.
Of course, this is all wildly unfair to the Oakland fans who, despite past assertions, are some of the most raucous and passionate in all of sports -- just ask the 2012 Detroit Tigers. It also turns the team's back on decades of history and personality drawn from Oakland and its residents, unless you think moving to a city known almost exclusively for the wealth of its many giant corporations won't change the A's mustachioed, eccentric image.
Fortunately, that history of borderline insanity opens a wide variety of doors that would usually be closed to a team's fans. This is a team that once employed a mechanical rabbit named Harvey rather than a ballboy; that's owner rode onto the field on a mule he named after himself; that wore white shoes, long hair and mustaches when other ballplayers of the era looked like your typical San Jose corporate suit-filler. We could do something crazy and it wouldn't just be acceptable, it would be downright traditional.
What I'm saying is we should buy the A's. Yes, us. You, me and a few million of our fellow fans.
Public ownership of a team isn't unprecedented. The Green Bay Packers are owned by their fans, and it's worked out well for them over the years. Until 2002, shares of the Boston Celtics were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The best example is probably FC Barcelona, a Spanish soccer team, which is a nonprofit owned by the club's supporters and the second-highest revenue soccer team in the world.
A nonprofit could be formed to make an offer for the team and funded with, essentially, an extremely large-scale Kickstarter campaign. Inaugural donors could buy "ownership shares" for a couple thousand dollars or so that entitle them to nonbinding advisory votes on player re-signing priorities, approval of the current staff and other aspects of running the team, as well as tickets to exclusive "Owners' Day" games and other events.
Companies could contribute larger sums in exchange for promotional opportunities more in-depth than stadium ads. Venture capital could be raised in exchange for a small share of revenue -- being a nonprofit leaves the owner's share for incentive to investors.
It wouldn't be easy by any means, but it would be possible. Forbes values the A's at $468 million, so selling 250,000 shares at $2,500 each would raise enough money to pay Wolff and his partners more than a 30 percent premium. Corporate partners and investors would make that an even smaller number.
A stadium would be more difficult but still possible. Between grants from the league, venture capital, loans and corporate contributions -- the loss in property value that companies such as Clorox and Kaiser would suffer if the A's left town and took much of Oakland's name recognition with them makes for good incentive -- make it well within reach. The 49ers set a great blueprint for other Bay Area teams to follow.
Don't get me wrong, this is by no means a comprehensive or final plan. It would take people much more knowledgeable than I about nonprofits and fundraising to flesh it all out, and it would take established baseball people -- the Tony LaRussas and Rickey Hendersons of the world -- to convince the league and the other owners that it's a good idea.
But I do believe it's a good idea. It's just crazy enough to work, and it's just crazy enough to fit in the rest of Athletics history. And most importantly, it would let us keep our team in Oakland.

My bicycle is our second car. I love to bicycle in all weather, for all distances, and on all routes. Bicycling has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to share it with anyone who is interested. I will use my soapbox to tell you about the joys, the freedom, the benefits, and, yes, the challenges of bicycling and walking for transportation.
My daughter got her license last week and drove herself to school and work for the first time on Tuesday. We'd just discovered a headlight was out on the car. Since she had the car, we hadn't had a chance to replace the headlight. I realized that she'd be driving home from work at night by herself for the first time. All of this is pretty scary for a parent, and I'd be happier if she were doing it with both headlights.
It was dark when I biked to the auto store to buy a replacement bulb. "Those are so bright," said another customer as I wheeled up with all my flashing lights. "I've never seen lights like that. So many colors."
I love the attention the Monkey Lights get. On summer nights, I hear people on their porches "ooh" and "aah" as I bike down the street.
I got the replacement bulb and biked to my daughter's work place. I moved the car under a street light and attempted to change the bulb. After I'd been at it for 40 minutes, her shift was over. I had gotten the old bulb out and the new bulb in but it wasn't seated properly. I shrugged and she drove home.
I still needed to pick up a few things for supper. While I was locking up my bike at the grocery store, a friend saw me and said, "Where did you get those lights? I saw you from across the parking lot." I treated him to all the details about every light on my bike. The colorful Monkey Lights are the most flamboyant, but I'm also proud of my Reelights (magnet-powered) and the headlamp (generator hub).
The next day we took the car to the mechanic to get the headlight fixed.

STANFORD -- A year ago, guard Lili Thompson was filling out NCAA brackets and watching games on television like many women's basketball fans.
Sunday, Stanford is counting on the freshman when the second-seeded Cardinal (31-3) faces No. 3 Penn State in the Sweet 16 at Maples Pavilion.
Top-seeded South Carolina plays No. 4 North Carolina in the other regional semifinal. The winners will meet Tuesday night with a berth in the Final Four on the line.
"It's kind of surreal," Thompson said Saturday.
She's not alone. Thompson is part of a five-member freshman class that is expected to keep the Stanford program afloat once star Chiney Ogwumike and two other seniors depart at the end of the season.
"There's going to be a lot on them," coach Tara VanDerveer said of the young players.
Thompson, in particular, has taken on a big responsibility this season, starting 30 of 34 games. The 5-foot-7 dynamo with a long, braided ponytail is the team's third-leading scorer, averaging 8.1 points per game.
Ogwumike -- the prospective top overall pick in next month's WNBA draft -- is the only Cardinal averaging in double figures at 26.6 points per game.
The Stanford scoring sheet doesn't fool Penn State coach Coquese Washington or her Big Ten champion Nittany Lions (24-7).
"They don't win all those games with only one player," Washington said. "Part of the reason Chiney is able to do the things she does is because of the players around her."
Ogwumike would be the first to agree with that analysis of Stanford, which is appearing in its seventh consecutive Sweet 16. The Cardinal has more depth than in recent years.
The team also has more quickness with its starting guards from Texas. Thompson has helped junior point guard Amber Orrange of Houston with handling the ball.
"It takes a lot of pressure off," Orrange said.
VanDerveer gave careful consideration to fill the second guard spot this season, trying a variety of combinations in practice before settling on Thompson in the season's third game.
Thompson's confident shooting and dribbling won the day. So far, she has proved Stanford coaches made the right decision.
All the freshmen except Kailee Johnson have had at least one start this season. The 6-3 Johnson has nonetheless appeared in all but one game as a valued reserve.
The rest of the class includes forward Erica McCall and guards Karlie Samuelson and Briana Roberson.
"A group hasn't integrated so quickly as this group," junior forward Taylor Greenfield said of the freshmen.
They had the benefit of arriving on campus in the summer and participating in a 10-day team trip to Italy.
"I've never felt it has been so easy for everyone to mesh together," Greenfield added. "We needed the freshman. We wanted them to click right away."
None have clicked better than Thompson, who started playing for her dad's 4-year-old team in New Jersey when she was 3.
"I don't remember a time I haven't played," said Thompson, the youngest of six children. "Just having fun with it at all times, that allows you to keep going."
Greg and Tracy Thompson shuttled the family around the country as U.S. Army engineers. Lili (pronounced Lee Lee) played at Punahou High School in Honolulu before graduating from a school in Mansfield, Texas.
While living in Texas, Thompson played on the same AAU basketball team as Olivia and Erica Ogwumike, the sisters of the Cardinal's star.
While Chiney Ogwumike has the team's biggest personality, Thompson is a close second. In her school bio, the guard says she wants to become U.S. president some day.
For now, she's present on the court.
Battle of the Carolinas: Southeastern Conference champion South Carolina (29-4) fell to North Carolina 74-66 in a December nonconference game.
But neither team expects the result from three months ago to have a bearing on the Sweet 16 matchup at Maples Pavilion.
Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley is well aware of what is needed to get past North Carolina (26-9) and into the Elite Eight for the second time in school history.
"What is most important is our post players probably being 15 of 23," Staley said.
Fortunately for South Carolina, 6-4 freshman center Alaina Coates isn't the same player from December.
"Mentally, I wasn't ready for the game," Coates said.
The Tar Heels have endured an emotional season as Hall of Fame coach Sylvia Hatchell stepped aside while being treated for leukemia. Hatchell, the third women's coach to win 900 games, is in remission and could return if North Carolina reaches the Final Four.
Andrew Calder, the associate head coach, spent 20 minutes on the phone with Hatchell on Saturday to plot strategy against South Carolina.
"She gives us bullet points and we play off those bullet points," said Calder, Hatchell's assistant for 28 years.

CONWAY, Ark. – Hameed Ali had a career-high 18 points to lead four players in double figures, as the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team won its second straight game, 75-68, over Central Arkansas on Thursday at the Farris Center. The Islanders got 34 points from their bench in the victory.
Will Nelson added 14 points, while Johnathan Jordan had 11 and Dale Francis posted a career-high 10 in the win. Ali tallied six assists, two steals and a block to go with his 7-for-10 shooting on the night. Jordan added six dimes of his own as the Islanders had a season-high 20 assists in the game. The sophomore also added seven rebounds to lead the visitors, who won the battle of the boards, 36-33.
LaQuentin Miles led all scorers with 20 points, while Robert Crawford had 15 and Jarvis Garner added 14 to place three players in double figures in a losing effort. Miles added eight boards to lead the Bears.
In a first half that featured four ties and 11 lead changes, the two squads traded points nearly every possession, with an Ali free throw tying the game at 15-all. Garner and Miles did the bulk of the early damage, each scoring four points, while Nelson had six straight Islanders points at one point during that stretch.
A Crawford three from the corner put the Bears up 18-15 with 9:15 remaining in the opening stanza. After an Ali jumper, Miles drilled a triple to put UCA up four at 21-17, their largest lead to that point in the back-and-forth contest. For every Islanders basket, there came a UCA response, but the Islanders fought back to tie the game 28-all on a Nate Maxey dunk. The Bears pushed the lead back to 34-30, but the Islanders finished the half on a 7-2 run to take a one-point lead to the locker room after Brandon Pye knocked down a jumper on a putback to make it 37-36.
Out of the break, the Islanders scored the first four points en route to stringing together a 14-4 run to open an 11-point lead. Joy Williamson got the final five points of the run, converting a long two and then adding a three from the corner to make it 51-40. Ali (5) and Francis (4) had the rest of the points during the Islanders' rally.
The Bears punched back with a 7-1 run to trim the deficit to 52-47. But after the teams traded baskets to make it 54-49, the Islanders ran off eight straight points to balloon the lead to 13. Ali was the architect, hitting a jumper, getting a steal, drilling a three, snatching another steal and finally finishing the rally with a feed to Maxey on an alley-oop that made it 62-49. A Jordan jumper at the 6:37 mark made it 64-52.
But UCA refused to go quietly, putting together an 11-2 run to trim the deficit to just three, the final blow a three-point play by Miles that made it 66-63. Jordan hit two free throws with 1:34 left, and after Crawford came up empty on a three, Nelson delivered a huge three from the top of the key to push the lead to 71-63. From there the Islanders got four free throws from Jordan to close out the victory.
The Islanders continue their road trip with a contest at Oral Roberts on Saturday night. Tipoff is set for approximately 7:30 p.m. in Tulsa. Steven King will have the call of the game live on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX starting at 7:15 with the pregame show.

BASF boost cash offer for Pronova
16.01.2013 - German chemical giant BASF has increased its offer to acquire omega-3 fatty acid specialist Pronova BioPharma.
BASF improved its cash offer price to NOK13.50 per share (previously NOK12.50). The Ludwigshafen-based company will require acceptance of more than 90%. With the takeover of Lysaker-based Pronova Biopharma ASA, BASF would immediately achieve a leading position in the growing market for omega-3 fatty acids.
The increased offer corresponds to a premium of 34% above the volume-weighted average share price for Pronova's shares in the six months prior to announcement of the public takeover offer. Based on all outstanding shares and including all net financial liabilities, the enterprise value would be NOK4,996m (approximately €684m; previous valuation: €664m).
"Following a comprehensive due diligence review and taking into account the opportunities and foreseeable risks in Pronova's business this increased offer is our last, best and final offer," said Michael Heinz, member of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF SE and responsible for the Performance Products segment, which includes the Nutrition & Health division.
As of January 14, 2013, BASF had received acceptances under the voluntary offer for a number of shares representing approximately 70% of the issued shares and votes in Pronova. BASF has obtained irrevocable pre-acceptance commitments for approximately 60% of Pronova's share capital; including the 50% stake held by majority shareholders Herkules Private Equity Fund, an approximately 9.1% stake indirectly controlled by investment firms Kistefos AS and Kistefos Investment AS and 0.3% held by members of the Board of Directors and management of Pronova.

August 2, 2006
Heat related injuries are a major concern for parents and school officials.
Now football coaches here at home are taking precautions to keep their players safe in the summer heat.
The Hephzibah High School Rebels motto is "Work hard", but in extreme heat they also have to work smart.
Coach John Bowen is holding morning practices from 9 until 11 to beat the heat.
"The kids will work against themselves, because they are trying to impress and they get in trouble," he says.
And drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after practice is a recommendation.
"We just make sure everybody stays hydrated, everybody gets water," says quarterback Chris White. "The coaches help us with that."
It's a big responsibility, but Coach Bowen says it all boils down to making sure all of his players are safe.
A Rockdale County football player collapsed and died after practice on August 1.
"It's not like the olden days when you practice for two hours without water," Coach Bowen says. "We let them get water at their own pace, whenever they want it."
While the Rebels are practicing in t-shirts and shorts this week, they'll be fully padded up next week, and that's when they can expect the body temperature to rise even more.
"When you got a shirt underneath and the pads on top and then a practice jersey, it's going to get hot," says linebacker T.J. Lynch.
"Once those pads go on, not to mention the extra weight, but the tightness of letting the body breathe and everything," says Coach Bowen.
The Richmond County Board of Education rates outdoor activities by categories, with 5 being the highest.
At Category 5, the central office orders schools to shut down all outdoor activities and substitute indoor activities.

Sheriffs choose differently on taxes
Published: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 10:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 10:20 p.m.
Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter chose not to increase the property tax collections his office will receive.
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre did the opposite.
Parish tax assessors reappraised properties this summer, as they do every four years, and found an overall increase in value. Government agencies that receive property-tax revenue then have to decide between the option of lowering their tax rates to collect the same amount of money as last year or leaving tax rates the same to collect more money.
Larpenter chose to do the former, and Webre chose the latter.
As a result, Larpenter said he has chosen not to add about an extra $1 million, or $250,000 a year, to the Sheriff's Office's coffers. That's a revenue estimate based on the assessor's findings. The Terrebonne Sheriff's Office brought in $5.8 million last year from property taxes.
"If I can help anybody save a few dollars over the next four years, that's what I want to do," Larpenter said. "I could use the extra money, but the way I'm going to run this office, I think we're going to have the extra money ... as long as the economy is good, and they're projecting it to be good for the parish of Terrebonne."
Larpenter has taken issue with the spending the previous sheriff and his chosen successor, Vernon Bourgeois, made over his four years in office. During the last months of Bourgeois' term, the office was forced to borrow money to pay for operations.
Larpenter said his office had to borrow $200,000 this month to cover operations.
"Since our office is down 100 employees today than we were a year ago, I believe I can maintain what we have, and hopefully in the future we can generate a fund balance," Larpenter said. "But it's going to take me a little while to get out of the red."
Larpenter said he plans on filling some of those empty spots, but "it won't be more than 10."
In Lafourche, the sheriff chose to take in an additional estimated $234,000 in taxes, spokesman Deputy Brennan Matherne said. The office took in nearly $7.8 million last year.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office chose to leave its tax rates the same to offset operating costs that have risen since the last property assessment in 2008, Matherne said.
Webre held a public hearing about the levying of property taxes last month before he chose to leave its tax rates the same this year.

text: After gleefully using Ryan Phillipe's long-ago soap role as a gay teen as an opportunity to script a few homophobic jokes at the actor's expense, Jay Leno is still bruising from the backlash. Even the release of an official apology on behalf of NBC has yet to deter the soon-to-be-unemployed talk show host from woefully expressing his regret. At last night's premiere of One, Too Many, Leno spoke out against any rumors that the Stop Loss star and him are on the outs, saying "He's terrific...No, we talked about it before. We're friends. I mean, it's a talk show. That's what you do." So talk shows these days are merely forums to say "dumb things" for a halfhearted laugh or two? News to us! [People]

ARC 659 125cc $2000
by Michael Pope » Tue Mar 26, 2013 7:12 pm
ARC 659 shifter Kart with a 125cc VM kart engine. If you don't know much about ARC its because the chassis are no longer imported as far as I can tell however parts are still readily available and pretty universal with other brands. For the right price I can include a my-chron-2 lap timer, new racing nomex suit, neck collar, gloves, and size 12 racing shoes none of which has ever been worn other then trying on at the store. brand new tires never touched the track, new set of uninstalled brake pads, tire bead breaker and anything else I can find kicking around. I would be willing to take $2000 obo for the kart if you come pick it up I can probably thrown in everything else for the same price. I cant tell you the Year I got this thing on trade for installing a Clutch on his race car, it runs fine and probably has not been raced too much the owner was an older guy who gave it to me because it hurt him too much to race it.

Pedestrian killed in hit-and-run; driver arrested
Nearly a dozen pedestrians have been killed along local highways in 19 months.
Published: Sunday, August 18, 2013 at 9:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 19, 2013 at 8:12 a.m.
A driver who struck and killed a pedestrian in Schriever returned to the scene and turned herself in to authorities Sunday night, State Police said this morning.
Taja Winston, 24, of Schriever, was killed as she walked about 8 p.m. on the shoulder of La. 20 near Back Project Road, State Police Troop C reported.
Troopers learned that Sandy Carlisle, 40, also of Schriever, was driving a 2013 Kia Sorrento east along the highway and drifted into the shoulder, struck Winston, then continued east, Troop C spokesman Evan Harrell said. Carlisle, who was wearing a seat belt, was not injured.
Carlisle submitted to a breath test, and no alcohol was detected, State Police said. Carlisle was arrested and charged with hit-and-run driving and improper lane use. She was in the Terrebonne Parish jail this morning awaiting a bond hearing.
Routine toxicology tests are pending for Winston. The crash remains under investigation.
Like many local highways, the stretch of La. 20, in Terrebonne near the Lafourche Parish boundary line, has no sidewalks, forcing pedestrians to walk close to traffic. Seven pedestrians, including Winston, have been killed in Terrebonne and four in Lafourche in the past 19 months, according to State Police records. Last month, 23-year-old Nicholas Shaw of Thibodaux was killed as he walked along La. 20, not far from the latest incident, on his way to work at Bourgeois Meat Market.

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"I tend to like designs that are elegant rather than cute, and this design is beautifully elegant but trendy all at once. Perfect for the shower I'm throwing."
"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's wedding shower. She's incorporating a bicycle theme in her wedding and this image was just what I was looking for. I was able to change the background color to seaglass which was great since her wedding is at the beach. The paper was the perfect thickness and guests have made very positive comments on the invitation. Great job!"
"This design is so elegant. The responses received have been so positive about the beautiful bridal shower invitation. My daughter is a teacher and the black unique shape allowed us to incorporate that bit of whimsy on a very stunning invitation in her wedding colors! Only concern, wish the font could be larger/bolder. It appeared larger on my screen while designing. Overall, extremely pleased with our purchase!"

A Crash Course in Being Kind
There's nothing more heartbreaking to me than when people are unkind to one another.
When we are young, we learn the most fundamental teachings about being human: be nice to one another, share, clean up after yourself, don't take things that aren't yours, etc. But it seems that when we become adults, we often forget everything that was a part of these original lessons of life. Even the yoga community is littered with heartbreaking exchanges. If unkindness is evident in a community dedicated to conscious living, I imagine it is even more insidious in other spheres.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Even though he grew up in nearby San Carlos, St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Daniel Descalso admits never dreamed of playing for the Giants. He was an A's man all the way.
"As far back as remember," Descalso said Saturday. "My earliest memories of baseball are sitting over at the Coliseum watching guys like Rickey Henderson, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire play. From what my dad tells me, I'd sit there at 2 years old and watch the games."
What's more, the only cap Descalso ever wore with an "SF" on it was one representing St. Francis High in Mountain View, where he starred as a prep before moving on to U.C. Davis and eventually professional ball. He took merciless ribbing from friends growing up from friends who were all Giants fans, and now he has them right where he wants them.
"I've told them, 'You have a tough choice to make. You either have to root for the Giants and lose a friend or jump on the Cardinals' bandwagon,' " Descalso said at the Cardinals' AT&T Park workout in preparation for Sunday's Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
Descalso has pulled something of a Jeremy Lin as another heretofore unheralded Peninsula lad who has thrust himself into the national spotlight in the wake his Game 5 NLDS performance against the Washington Nationals. Descalso hit a seventh-inning home run as part of a game-long St. Louis rally from a 6-0 deficit and drove in the tying two runs in the ninth inning as the Cardinals stormed back for a 9-7 Cardinals victory.
"That's obviously the best game I've ever had on a stage like that," said the 2004 St. Francis grad. "That's what you dream about when you're a little kid, being in a spot like that."
Descalso said on his big ninth-inning hit, he had a good feeling he was going to get his pitch to hit early in the at-bat.
"(Washington closer Drew) Storen had the bases loaded there and I knew he wanted to come right after me because he'd just walked two guys," he said. "So I just told myself, `Look for a fastball to hit and don't be late.' I wanted to be aggressive in that spot, I made good contact and I was able to sneak it past (shortstop Ian) Desmond."
So now he's back in San Francisco for the NLCS, playing against a team he didn't exactly hate as a kid, but one that was definitely on the back burner.
"I spent my share of games at Candlestick, too," he said. "But my family had season tickets at the Coliseum and that's where I saw most of my baseball. I did catch a bunch of heat for being an A's fan growing up. But that was my team. I didn't root against the Giants. But it was definitely A's No. 1, Giants No. 2."
As for San Francisco itself, that's a different story. Descalso has a home in the Marina District and lives here in the offseason.
"I love this city, it's one of the best cities in the world," he said. "There's no better time to live here than when you're in your mid-20s."
The 25-year-old Descalso, in his second full season with the Cardinals, moved from third base to second this year after Ryan Theriot left the club to sign with the Giants in the offseason. He struggled for the better paet of the season offensively, hitting just .227 with four home runs.
"It's been up and down for me all year," he said. "I had to make a lot of adjustments in July and August but the last month or so I've been having a lot better at-bats, squaring the ball up a lot better. I was able to find some holes and then was able to drive the ball against the Nationals."
Despite Descalso's inconsistencies, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny lavished praise on his young infielder.
"He's just a ballplayer," Matheny said. "He's gritty. He's hard-nosed. He's smart. He plays instinctually. There were times he was having trouble getting his swing going, and he was pressing. But he really did figure out how to take advantage of the opportunity that presented itself, especially when (Rafael) Furcal went down. We needed somebody to take control of second base and Daniel did that. He's been just huge for us down the stretch here."
And now to play in the NLCS so close to where he grew up? Descalso said he couldn't have imagined it when he was playing the San Carlos Little League.
"You can dream it, right?" he said. "But I don't it ever sinks in as a reality until it happens. All I wanted to do as a kid was be a baseball player, and to find myself here on this stage, in my hometown of San Francisco, it's going to be fun."

VAIL - The severity of drought conditions in Colorado might start looking less bad due to a switch in the data set that represents so-called normal or average conditions.
In January, the drought update issued by the Water Availability Task Force reported that as of Jan. 22, the state needs 140 percent of normal snowpack accumulation to reach its long-term season peak in early April. But what constitutes "normal" has just changed.
"The Natural Resources Conservation Service uses a 30-year running average that is updated every 10 years. This month marks the transition to the new 'normal' period of 1981-2010 for all NRCS products (previous months used the 1971-2000 period)," according to the January report. "NRCS is also transitioning to the use of median rather than average to define normal for all (snow water equivalent) products. Average is still used for precipitation, reservoir and streamflow products. Please keep in mind that this transition will affect the data when presented as a percent of normal."
Diane Johnson, of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, said the change won't have an effect at the local level because the district uses data that doesn't go back as far, but the state and river basin reports are going to look different. What was reported as 90 percent of average might now be reported as 100 percent of average, for example.
"Now any given value is now a higher percent than it used to be," Johnson said. "People use that phrase (new normal) all the time and now we actually have to shift to accepting these types of conditions would now be considered 'good,' for lack of a better word, or 'average' at least."
A dry decade in the 2000s has now replaced a fairly wet decade in the 1970s, so that 30-year average is going to be a drier average - another reason why the Natural Resources Conservation Service is now using a median rather than an average to define normal snow water equivalents.
In a presentation to the task force on Thursday, hydrologist and climate data analyst Jim Marron, of the Natural Resources Conservation Service , reported that datasets are being developed for each river basin that will provide the basin median number for each year.
When looking at the new datasets, the Natural Resources Conservation Service warns of possible flaws.
"Caution is recommended in using the 1971-2000 and 1981-2010 normal sets for climatic comparison for two important reasons. First, SNOTEL (snow telemetry) sites did not exist in 1971. The first major installation of SNOTEL sites occurred in the late 1970s to early 1980s," according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service. "Therefore, data at SNOTEL sites for the 1970s was estimated in the 1971-2000 normals. Second, the procedures to determine normals for sites that did not have a complete 30-year record were different in the two datasets."
So while comparing current conditions to a new dataset will certainly be accurate when referring to the new 30-year period, peoples' memories are going to tell them something else. Johnson said the numbers might show that things aren't that bad when people's memories are telling them otherwise.
"Last year, July 1 historic median was 230 cfs (cubic feet per second), and now the data for this summer tells me the historic median is 209 cfs," Johnson said. "So one year dropped it that much."
Memory is important when talking about water supplies. Even this winter, people aren't talking about the drought as much as last year because there have been more powder days, Johnson said, even though snowpack conditions aren't better off. The state is currently at 76 percent of average (based on the new 30-year period), and the Colorado River Basin is at 70 percent of average.
Having back-to-back years of below average snowfall and drought conditions, though, is making the change to the new 30-year time frame scrutinized even more.
"There's probably a heightened awareness," Johnson said. "Because everyone is examining it so much."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; June 18, 2013) —A Reno man who fraudulently swindled eight victims out of more than a million dollars in part through a speculative energy investment scheme landed a 10-year prison sentence. The recent sentencing and increased demands in energy independence globally point to a national trend in investors and con artists alike promoting traditional and alternative energy resource investment, warns Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller. Jack Albert Schwartz, 69, promised several investors that his business Tahoe Venture Partners, LLC would invest in a start-up company that utilized innovative technologies to reduce energy costs and garner huge returns on investment. Investigators say Schwartz deposited investments in his companies' accounts but used it for non-business expenses, including mortgage and credit card payments and deposits in his ex-wife's account. He allegedly never turned over any of the investors' money, investments ranging from $30,000 to $200,000, to the start-up companies or paid any return to any of the investors. Schwartz was charged with five felony counts of securities fraud and 10 felony counts of theft. In an investor advisory, the Secretary of State Securities Divisions explains the most common ways energy investment products may be offered, why investors need to be cautious and how investors can protect themselves when considering investments in traditional or alternative energy offerings. The advisory is available here. "Many of these investments are highly risky and illiquid and therefore are not appropriate for many investors," said Miller. "It is not unusual for unscrupulous promoters to use the lure of current events or innovative technologies to take advantage of unsuspecting investors by engaging in fraudulent practices." Miller said promoters sometimes prey on investors interested in socially responsible products by labeling them as "green energy" investment opportunities. The phrase "green energy" implies that the products are ecologically friendly. In some cases, the promoters may be operating a fraudulent shell company and not producing anything. The Secretary of State's Securities Division issued a cease and desist order in 2011 to GTec Biofuels, Inc., a "green energy" company that sold unregistered securities in Nevada. GTec advised potential investors that certain shareholders could receive dividends of "10% of the company's net profit" paid quarterly. Following the cease and desist order, GTec Biofuels folded up its known operations.
A copy of the criminal complaint is available by clicking here, and the judgement of conviction is available by clicking here.According to the most recent enforcement survey by the North American Securities Administrators Association, of which the Nevada Secretary of State's office is a member, oil and gas investments were the fourth most common product at the heart of state securities enforcement cases, with about 40 percent of responding jurisdictions reporting energy-related enforcement cases. Miller says many of the warning signs related to questionable investments apply to not just energy-related investments, but virtually all investments:
For more information about the risks associated with energy investments, contact the Nevada Securities Division at (702) 486-2440 or (800) 758-6440, or by visiting the Securities Center on the Secretary of State's website at www.nvsos.gov.

The Fort Hays State University women's basketball cruised by Newman, 114-86, on Tuesday evening behind six Tigers that scored in double-digits.
Katelyn Edwards and Tera Ingalsbe led the team with 18 points apiece, followed closely by Kate Lehman's and Beth Bohuslavsky's 17 points. Other Tigers to reach the double-digit scoring plateau were Chelsea Mason (15) and Taylor Chandler (12).
FHSU (4-0) hit on 58.8 percent of its field goals (40-for-68) and led by as many as 35 points midway through the second half. Newman (2-4) shot 53.7 percent from the field, but was hurt by 23 turnovers on the night.
The 200 combined points set a new school record for single-game scoring by both opponents, breaking the previous combined record of 195 set in 1986. FHSU's 114 points was just two shy of the individual game record of 116, set in 2006.
After just missing double- and triple-doubles in the previous two games, Kate Lehman led the way for FHSU with 14 rebounds, 17 points and six blocks for her first double-double of the season. Lehman missed just one shot on the night, going 5-for-5 from the charity stripe and 6-of-7 from the field.
Katelyn Edwards hit the double-double mark for the third consecutive game, scoring 18 points while pulling down 10 rebounds, including six offensive boards.
Ingalsbe's and Bohuslavsky set career-high marks with their scoring, as Ingalsbe shot 7-of-8 from the field and Bohuslavsky added five assists in the winning effort.
Nikola Kacperska tied her career-mark in assists for the third time this season, dishing out six assists in 20 minutes. Kacperska and Jill Faxon just missed double-digits in points, finishing with nine and eight, respectively.
Up 16-11 just over five minutes into the game, FHSU started a 14-0 run (including eight points from Chandler) over the span of 2:44, to lead by 19 (30-11). From there, the Tigers slowly increased the lead to 46-23, when a quick nine-point burst of unanswered points propelled FHSU ahead, 55-23 with 3:47 to go in the half.
The Tigers shot 71.9 percent on field goals in the first half to lead by 30 (63-33) at intermission.
In the second half, NU would shoot well, hitting 72.7 from field goal range in the final 20 minutes, but couldn't overcome a stingy Tiger defense that racked up 11 steals and had 35 points off of turnovers.
Fort Hays State closes out its four-game home stand on Saturday, Nov. 30 with a 2 p.m. matchup against Tabor College inside Gross Memorial Coliseum.
FHSU ladies score 114 in win over Newman

First impressions of stadiums can be misleading. For instance, when Richard Nixon threw out the first pitch at Candlestick Park in 1960, he famously proclaimed, "This will be one of the most beautiful baseball parks of all time."
A year later, Stu Miller practically got blown off the mound at the All-Star Game. From then on the true nature of the 'Stick became clear.
So fans focusing on the traffic and transit debacles at last weekend's debut of Levi's Stadium should hold off on final judgment. In this case, we suspect the shift in views of the 49ers' new home will be diametrically the opposite of Candlestick's downhill slide. All the irksome-to-infuriating problems last weekend are fixable. Levi's has the bones of a great stadium -- and it's already fulfilling its promise of delivering world-class entertainment to this region, long before the pinnacle, the NFL's 50th Super Bowl, rocks the Bay Area in 2016.
Thursday's announcement that the National Hockey League will bring one of its popular outdoor matchups to the Bay Area on Feb. 21 is just the latest in a string of blockbuster events planned for the 68,000-seat stadium. The illustration of an outdoor ice rink in the middle of the green football field looked a little weird, but when the Sharks square off with their rivals, the Los Angeles Kings, it's likely to break the single-game attendance record for hockey in California.
Better still, one of the reasons the NHL decided to play the Bay Area game reportedly was the superior sightlines and configuration of the field compared to other stadiums in the region. HTNB, designers of the picturesque Levi's Stadium, have to be thrilled. Anytime your work is compared favorably with San Francisco's gorgeous AT&T Park, you know you did something right.
The hockey game is just the latest coup. Two of the most entertaining offensive soccer teams in the world, Mexico and Chile, will square off Sept. 6 in the first international soccer match to be held in the stadium. The University of Oregon Ducks, who figure to be one of the top 10 college football teams in the country this year, will play Cal there on Oct. 24, followed by the Pac-12 championship football game Dec. 5.
And who can forget WrestleMania 31? It hits town March 29.
World-class regions have world-class facilities to showcase world-class events, whether sports, music, art or theater -- or wherever WrestleMania fits in. Levi's Stadium makes the cut. 49ers owner Jed York and regional transit officials know they've got work to do to bring the stadium experience up to expectations, but we're confident they're up to it.
And in a few years, last week's bad experiences will be as remote in memory as Richard Nixon's gushing praise of, ahem, beautiful Candlestick Park.
