REDWOOD CITY -- An 88-year-old Belmont man's fatal brain injury may have been inflicted during an accidental fall and not a violent confrontation with a suspect now on trial in his death, a defense attorney said Wednesday.
Tyler James Hutchinson's lawyer told jurors during closing arguments that Albert Korn may have fallen just before someone broke into his Hallmark Drive home in 2009. Korn had, about six months prior, fallen and injured himself, James Thompson said.
"Don't dismiss it out of hand," he told San Mateo County Superior Court jurors, who began deliberating the murder and burglary charges against Hutchinson on Wednesday afternoon. "I ask you to weigh it and consider it."
The idea that Korn could have hurt himself was anathema to deputy district attorney Morris Maya who, during his arguments, showed jurors a photo of the defendant labeled "Cause of Death: Tyler James Hutchinson."
Korn was found injured in his home the afternoon of June 2, 2009, by his son who assumed he had simply fallen. Medics who rushed to the home quickly realized the man had been severely beaten and called in police, according to the prosecution.
Though initially able to talk, Korn rapidly deteriorated and his family elected to take him off life support June 17, 2009.
Maya said a pile of physical evidence at the crime scene such as DNA and fingerprints as well as sightings by eyewitnesses point directly to Hutchinson, a 25-year-old transient, as the killer. The prosecutor said Hutchinson broke into the home in the middle of the day and attacked Korn after encountering him. Why?
"It didn't matter. The defendant was going to take what he wanted," said Maya. He added Hutchinson got away with the victim's wallet, his Jaguar car and some jewelry.
Thompson countered by urging the jurors to not succumb to the "prejudice and outrage" he claimed were inspired by Maya's attacks on his client.
"You were told Mr. Hutchinson was a savage. He's not entitled to a semblance of humanity," Thompson said. "A jury trial isn't simply about attacking a defendant."
His urging of the panel to be skeptical and the theory on Korn's death were the most developed defenses he'd put forward in the trial. Thompson made no opening statement and rested the defense case without calling a single witness.
Maya by contrast called more than a dozen witnesses to the stand, including doctors, firefighters, police and even Korn's family. His wife Gabriele Korn was in court Wednesday, but has declined to comment on the trial.
Prosecutors said Hutchinson sped off in Korn's Jaguar but left it parked -- also leaving his fingerprints behind -- in Belmont, before surfacing in Yolo County. Once there, authorities say he went on a burglary spree that led to his arrest days after the Korn attack and later to convictions for burglaries in West Sacramento.
Korn's death represented a rare killing in the well-to-do suburban community. It was the only homicide there since 2003.
Hutchinson is being held without bail. Deliberations are expected to continue Thursday.

'Tis the season for holiday traditions: decorating, baking, caroling and shopping are underway across the country. As we prepare for "A Christmas Evening at Montpelier," we're also decking the halls with modern and Madison-era works of art to show our guests.
The Joe and Marge Grills Gallery is now showcasing a series a of historical images, objects, and artwork depicting the Montpelier estate. The exhibit is comprised of works from the early nineteenth to late twentieth centuries, and includes Anna Maria Brodeau Thornton's 1802 watercolor, View of Montpelier.
Mr. Marion Broglie, a long-time participant in the Center for the Constitution's seminars for teachers, recently took a few moments to share his thoughts on his professional development experiences. Mr. Broglie is an eighth grade civics teacher at Lynnhaven Middle School in Virginia Beach, Va.
The Madisons' preference for stylish furnishings, as seen throughout the interior spaces of Montpelier, is further exhibited in a new installation in the Dining Room. On Friday, November 18, 2011, with assistance from historic textile consultant Natalie Larson, reproduction window treatments, including salmon colored silk drapery with green lining, sheer dimity under-curtains, and cornices decorated in the neoclassical style of John and Hugh Finlay's Baltimore painted furniture, were installed in the Montpelier Dining Room.
Movements of people toward greater self-governance sometimes struggle to gain lasting hold, but there is a determination in the human spirit that drives these movements toward freedom. And it often takes multiple attempts at revision to eventually get it right.
http://www.montpelier.org/blog/parting-shot-south-yardAs we approach Thanksgiving, we thought it would be fun to share with you an appropriate find for this time of year when "sumptuous" feasts are on everyone's mind. As mentioned in a previous post, we are completing our excavations in the South Yard where we just recently located a linear trench that is 2.5 feet wide and runs for at least 12 feet.
Visitors to Montpelier during James Madison's retirement vividly described the Drawing Room as museum-like and full of curiosities. Among these curious items was an "electrical machine," likely intended as a party novelty to convey scientific principles and encourage socializing. Considered cutting-edge technology in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, electrical machines, also referred to as a "philosophical instruments," were used to demonstrate emerging theories of electricity.
The first of several carpet installations at Montpelier was laid on Friday, October 28. The Dining Room floorboards are once more covered with the installation of a Brussels weave carpet. In the nineteenth century, elegant carpets conveyed status, provided warmth during cool weather, protected floorboards, and enhanced the overall appearance of a room by thematically linking furnishings.
If you saw Richard Brookhiser's recent appearance on "The Daily Show," you might have been surprised to hear him say that James Madison was 5′6″. The height of America's fourth president is a recurring topic of interest to visitors and readers. So, how tall was Mr. Madison?
James Madison, like many of his peers, was a man dedicated to knowledge of geography and history. In an August 1822 letter to William Taylor Barry, Madison wrote: "A knowledge of the Globe & its various inhabitants, however slight, might moreover create a taste for Books of Travels and Voyages, out of which might grow a general taste for history, an inexhaustible fund of entertainment & instruction."

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Material evidence found a...
|< Early reports
Conclusions to be drawn from the evidence, according to the Defendants' experts
7.75 The Defendants contend that the evidence, to any dispassionate mind, is overwhelming that the Nazis systematically murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews , mainly by the use of Zyklon-B pellets. The Defendants recognise that not all of the evidence which I have sought to summarise above is altogether reliable. This applies with particular force to the evidence of the eye-witnesses. It is also accepted by the Defendants that in certain respects the documentary evidence, including the photographic evidence, is capable of more than one interpretation. Nevertheless the Defendants argue that the different strands of evidence "converge". For example the eye-witness evidence is corroborated by the drawings and vice-versa. There is a striking similarity in the accounts of the eye-witnesses. The similarities in their recollections vastly outweigh the discrepancies. In the main, say the Defendants, their testimony is reliable. The documentary is not overtly incriminating for the obvious reason that the Nazis wanted to keep the gas chambers secret. But it too lends support to there having been gas chambers in operation at the camp.
7.76 The overwhelming strength of the totality of the evidence may be the reason, suggest the Defendants, why in his cross-examination of van Pelt Irving chose to ignore most of it.

Ирвинг против Липштадт
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|Racism >
13.101 It appears to me to be undeniable that most, if not all, of the statements set out in paragraph 9.5 reveal clear evidence that, in the absence of any excuse or suitable explanation for what he said or wrote, Irving is anti-semitic. His words are directed against Jews, either individually or collectively, in the sense that they are by turns hostile, critical, offensive and derisory in their references to semitic people, their characteristics and appearances. A few examples will suffice: Irving has made claims that the Jews deserve to be disliked; that they brought the Holocaust on themselves; that Jewish financiers are crooked; that Jews generate anti-semitism by their greed and mendacity; that it is bad luck for Mr Wiesel to be called 'Weasel'; that Jews are amongst the scum of humanity; that Jews scurry and hide furtively, unable to stand the light of day; that Simon Wiesenthal has a hideous, leering evil face; and so on.
13.102 In the preceding paragraph I did introduce the caveat that the evidence of Irving's anti-semitism is clear in the absence of any excuse or sensible explanation for his words. It is possible to envisage circumstances in which words, which on their face are anti-semitic, turn out on analysis to be susceptible of innocent explanation. Irving did advance a number of reasons why he claims it is unreasonable to regard him as an anti-semite. I have summarised them at paragraphs 9.9 to 9.17 above.
13.103 The principal explanation or justification offered by Irving for his comments about Jews is that he is seeking to explain to Jews why anti-semitism exists and not himself adopting the anti-semitism. But I do not think that this was the message that Irving was seeking to convey to his audiences and it was certainly not the sense in which his remarks were understood. Irving advances a similar justification of his characterisation of the Jewish stereotype as an attempt to warn Jews not to enhance by their conduct the negative public perception of them. If this were Irving's objective, I do not believe that he would have used such offensive language. If (as Irving claims) his remark about Wiesenthal was a joke, it was an anti-semitic joke.
13.104 I have more sympathy for Irving's argument that Jews are not immune from his criticism. He said that he was simply expressing legitimate criticisms of them. Irving gave as an example what he claimed was his justified criticism of the Jews for suppressing his freedom of expression. Another legitimate ground of criticism might be the manner in which Jews in certain parts of the world appear to exploit the Holocaust. I agree that Jews are as open to criticism as anyone else. But it appears to me that Irving has repeatedly crossed the divide between legitimate criticism and prejudiced vilification of the Jewish race and people. I can well understand too that, because of his perceived views, Irving and his family have from time to time been subjected to extreme pressure, for example when his flat house was besieged by rioters in 1994 (see paragraph 9.14 above). In the heat of the moment ill-considered remarks are often made. But it is in just such circumstances that racial prejudice manifests itself. In my view that is what occurred in 1994.
13.105 The inference which in my judgment is clearly to be drawn from what Irving has said and written is that he is anti-semitic.

Hunting and trapping license dollars are used to "match" federal aid dollars under the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program. License funds cover 25% of approved project costs with Federal Aid covering the rest. Now that's an investment you can "go wild" about.
Hunters exempted from purchasing a hunting license may voluntarily purchase a license and/or duck stamp. These purchases allow the Division to match additional federal funds for those activities shown in the chart above. The Division thanks all of those who volunteer to financially support wildlife conservation in this way.
Regulations in red are new this year.

Quite far from the city center, and from touristic attractions, Mas's place is very nice if you are looking for some peaceful place after one day in this busy and crowdy city. A toilet problem make her change my room for a bigger one. The place is very big (about 3 to 4 peoples can stay in the flat), and the view from the balcony on the Chao Praya river is wonderful.
You have a swimming pool in the building you can use, convenient stores, supermarket, bank just besides. Definitely a good place to stay.
Generally - nice studio, good location, good transport, easy to find, clean and corresponds highly to description. Good manual on surroundings. No problems while stay.
Particularly - I didn't meet my host, only phone talks; (Mas was generally hard to contact to before arrival, once more a lot of thanks to Wimdu Support team),the keys were transmitted by a nice but poorly talking girl. The exact appt booked was changed to very similar in same condo just on arrival day, but that was not a problem. It looks quite annoying that inside the condo one finds numerous handbills concerning legal violation of renting and subrenting appts in this condo, addressing and concerning also to "friends" and "guests" of owners. I was informed by Mas by phone "that is not true; just don't discuss your stay, price, way you've find this lodging", but it sure makes the stay uncomfortable and nervous. So..
I´ve been two times in Max apartment and on both the room was perfect; everything work and was very clean. Have all the basic commodities to enjoy and have a pleasant stay in BKK.
Max gives you a pack with valuable information about the surroundings to the apartment, the BTS and the MRTA, places to eat and much more about Bangkok. She also gives you prompt respond to any question you may have, which I appreciated very much.
Thank you Max for the Welcome Sheet and the flowers.
Hope to be there son again.
Great apartment just a stone's throw away from the central river and the train system called BTS. The condo itself is a pretty usual one-room apartment with own toilet and bath, but the building which the apartment is located in, called The Lighthouse, is very good all in all. I especially want to highlight the gym, the pool, the good service and the great view of the river and the city.
Another thing you should know if you consider to stay here is that the host probably is the best host you possibly can imagine. Even though we didn't get the chance to meet her and thank her in person, she helped us with a lot of things during our stay. I will definitely recommend this apartment to those who are going to stay in Bangkok - not at least taking the price into consideration.
It was a wonderful Stay.
Location was abs great .21st Floor .View of river and all the hotel chain from there.
Needed a location for doing our work & this apartment abs suited us.
It had all the facilities as mentioned by the owner.
We faced no problem in there.Total hassle free stay.
Prachtig gelegen! Per boot, tuk tuk en taxi kan je alle attracties snel bereiken! Lekker en goedkoop eten bij de lokale bevolking. Appartement was mooi, proper en geriefelijk. De gastvrouw was vriendelijk en gaf bij aankomst voldoende uitleg over wat, waar en hoe. Voor ons : 8,5 op 10!!!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It was very nice. Very good clean room. Near river. We called her when we were there and got the keys. Everything was pefect. Next time we Come back.
This room was clean and has comfortable and nice furniture. In the appartement was enough space for three women and lagguage :) this appartement is also close to the river and ferry. The E-Mail contact to the owner wasn't easy, we wrote her 4 days before the trip started and didn't get an answer. So we called her when we were there and got the keys. After all everything was easy and we had a nice stay.

Richard Linklater's 'Boyhood' Premieres at MoMA
It was a testament to Richard Linklater's collaborative style when, at last night's New York premiere of "Boyhood," the director immediately asked stars Ethan Hawke, Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette and his daughter, Lorelei Linklater, to join him on stage at the Museum of Modern Art.
"Twelve years," said Linklater. "We figured out we started shooting about 4,360-something days ago." As it is in the director's "Before" trilogy, time plays a major role in "Boyhood." On their way into the theater, audience members—which included Taylor Schilling of Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black" and radio host Ira Glass—walked past black-and-white portraits of the major characters, cataloguing time's march forward during the course of filming, which took place in Austin, Texas.
More: 'Boyhood': A Movie Grows Up With Its Actors
"It was the first truly new idea I'd ever heard, so it's fun to show it here," Hawke told the audience. The actor said he never tried to keep the long project a secret. "I told everyone I could," he said. "I would tell them about it, and they didn't know what I was talking about. 'You're making a movie for 12 years? Good for you. I hope you finish soon.'"
At one point—much to the amusement of the crowd—Hawke incorrectly referred to the wrong museum when mentioning the premiere's venue. "There's no better place in the world that I would like to show this movie than at the Metropolitan Museum of Art," he said, seemingly unaware of his faus pax.
"How was that? How did I do?" he asked the director after finishing his speech.
"You did well," said Linklater over the audience's laughter. "Some of that could need a little editing, a little bit of polishing."
"Boyhood" opens July 11 in theaters.

Energy Department, NREL Launch Alternative Transportation Web Tools
The Energy Department and its National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently launched a new tool to help fleet managers choose from a wide variety of alternative fuels and energy efficiency strategies for reducing petroleum use, vehicle emissions, and operating costs. The Petroleum Reduction Planning Tool is an interactive Web application that allows fleet managers to evaluate the benefits associated with five alternative fuels—biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, natural gas, and propane—along with a variety of efficiency measures, such as idle reduction and fuel economy improvements. The tool is part of the redesigned Alternative Fuels Data Center, recognized as the go-to source for sustainable transportation decision makers. See the Alternative Fuels Data Center website.
Users of the Petroleum Reduction Planning Tool can also explore options for fleet improvements by creating "what-if" scenarios based on solid data. Once a user or fleet manager establishes a set of measurable objectives to meet desired goals, the user can save the plan, make adjustments as needed, or continue to investigate different scenarios. Easy-to-read charts and tables display annual reductions in emissions, petroleum use, and fuel costs. Additionally, each section of the tool links to educational resources that provide background information about each efficiency strategy and alternative fuel. See the NREL press release.

BERKELEY -- Memories of summer fun in the mountains became even more precious Monday as families absorbed the news that the city-run Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp was incinerated over the weekend by the massive Rim Fire near Yosemite.
Most of the 80 buildings, including 72 tent cabins, burned Sunday at the 91-year-old camp on the south fork of the Tuolumne River, said city spokesman Matthai Chakko. Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp opened in 1922 on Highway 120, seven miles west of the entrance to Yosemite,
David Kojan is a Berkeley native who visited the camp the last six years with his wife and two young sons. He said the fire at the camp affected his whole family.
"Our family is feeling pretty devastated because we have so many happy memories there, and it was a place we always look forward to returning," said Kojan "I don't know if it even should be rebuilt, and it's pretty amazing that it hadn't burned down years ago. But it still really sucks. I can only imagine the hand-wringing and conflict that is about to be unleashed in Berkeley as the city decides what to do next."
Another Berkeley resident, Stephanie Agnew, said she started going to the camp six years ago when her son was 3 years old. She said her family is "heartbroken."
"How do you ever get back what you had there?" Agnew said Monday. "It was in the most beautiful setting. They unpack you, they take care of you, they feed you. Nobody has any expectations of anybody else."
When she visited this year, Agnew said she spent most of the time on her balcony with her new baby girl, moving only when a bell rang for meals while her son ran around the camp.
The Rim Fire has burned 149,780 acres and was 15 percent contained as of 8 a.m. Monday, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Dick Fleishman. At least 23 structures have burned in the fire, including 12 buildings, he said.
Berkeley campers with reservations from Aug. 19 through Aug. 30 will get full automatic refunds and do not need to contact the city, Chakko said. Those who left in the middle of their stays when the camp was evacuated Aug. 20 will get partial refunds, he said.
A statement from the city of Berkeley said that when the camp was evacuated, employees saved "many important historical documents, such as photographs, wall hangings, the camp's famous 'tent chart' and many other irreplaceable items."
When Berkeley leaders were getting ready to open the camp in 1921, famed architect Bernard Maybeck was one of the locals dispatched to the area to finalize the site, news reports at the time said.
A room and food at the camp cost $1 a day in 1922 and 60 cents a day for children. A roundtrip train ticket cost an extra $15.
"The camp is not a sanitarium, a charitable institution or a fashionable resort," said a press statement announcing the opening of the camp from the office of Berkeley Playground then-Supervisor George Hjelte. "It is a democratic vacation place for the people of Berkeley who love outdoor life in the Sierras."
On Monday, Berkeley resident Kate McGlashan remembered camp's good times.
"For us it meant a vacation in which all four family members were enjoying themselves," McGlashan said. "The kids love being feral there. We did have a fight one year when my husband went missing: He was supposed to be at a cocktail party with a bunch of really nice, fun people, and I finally found him at a different cocktail party with a different bunch of equally nice, fun people. That is pretty much the Tuolumne adult experience."
Another Berkeley camp, the Lair of the Golden Bear, canceled its annual Oski Family Weekend because of the fire, but neither it nor the Pinecrest Chalet were in danger, officials said.
Also evacuated earlier this week were the San Francisco-based Jewish summer camp Camp Tawonga, near Groveland, and the San Jose Family Camp in the Groveland area.
More than 2,500 firefighters are battling the Rim Fire, which is burning in the Stanislaus National Forest and has entered the eastern side of Yosemite National Park. It is threatening more than 4,500 homes and has continued to grow since it started Aug. 17.

Thanksgiving as the Birth of American Free Enterprise
This time of the year, whether in good economic times or bad, is when Americans gather with their families and friends and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together. It marks a remembrance of those early Pilgrim Fathers who crossed the uncharted ocean from Europe to make a new start in Plymouth, Massachusetts. What is less appreciated is that Thanksgiving also is a celebration of the birth of free enterprise in America.

Eating a
high-fiber diet
has been associated with lower risk of colorectal cancer. Fiber is found in all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. You may also benefit from eating less red meat.
Specific foods may help to lower the risk of colorectal cancer. These foods include onions, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables like kale, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and radishes.
Regular exercise
has been shown to reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Even moderate exercise for 30 minutes per day is beneficial.
has been found to increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Doctors recommend losing excess weight to reduce colorectal cancer risk.
To reduce your risk of colorectal cancer,
stop smoking
. Smokers are more likely to develop and die of colorectal cancer than nonsmokers.
Avoid excessive alcohol use. Moderation is one drink for women and two drinks for men per day.
Colon cancer can run in families. If more than one close relative has developed colon cancer before age 60, you may be at increased risk. You may also be at risk if anyone in your family has been diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
If you have a strong family history of the disease, your doctor may recommend that you have a colonoscopy. After an initial colonoscopy, your doctor will recommend repeat colonoscopies depending on the findings.
Some studies have found a link between aspirin use and reduced rates of colorectal cancer. Since taking aspirin can have side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, talk to your doctor before deciding to start aspirin therapy.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi administration and athletic department dedicated the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center on Tuesday afternoon in front of a crowd of nearly 100 spectators.
The state-of-the-art facility is one of the finest in the Southland Conference as well as one of the best in the nation. The $2.4 million center was made possible in part by a $500,000 gift from Corpus Christi attorney Thomas J. Henry. The complex includes 12 tennis courts built to NCAA specifications with a top-of-the-line Musco lighting system, an exterior public address system, security fence and a 220-car parking lot.
"It's a wonderful day for my family and myself to step up to the court on the Momentum Campus and help enrich our community and the university," said Henry. "I live down the street and this will be very easy to come to and watch tournaments, and I hope they're winning tournaments.
"I can tell (Director of Tennis) Steve Moore is a very intense gentleman – he wants to win – and a good tennis program with a winning record in the future is going to help develop this university. I want to thank Texas A&M – Corpus Christi for allowing me to help be part of their tennis program and be part of this facility."
For his part, Moore was grateful for the opportunity his team will have going forward to play at one of the premier facilities in the country after playing on several different courts since he returned to become the Director of Tennis at the Island University.
"On behalf of all of our student-athletes, the men's and women's tennis teams, and also the kids at the university who attend camps here, I can't begin to express the gratitude we have for this state-of-the-art, premier tennis facility," said Moore. "The potential that we have to run major tournaments, major college events, is unlimited.
"So, to Mr. Henry, for making this happen, our gratitude for your generosity is unmatched."
The Islanders will host an ITA-sanctioned tournament during the fall at the facility and will begin dual-match play at the facility during the spring of 2012.

SAN JOSE -- The City Council narrowly voted Tuesday to approve a Rocketship Education charter elementary school on 3.5 acres next to the Tamien light-rail station over objections from some neighbors who argued it would create too much traffic and that the area doesn't need another elementary school.
Mayor Chuck Reed said the proposal would deliver a new school serving 600 students run by Rocketship, which operates seven other schools in San Jose, all targeting underserved poor and immigrant children, and help close the "achievement gap" between those students and their affluent peers. He also said it will provide a park and playground long planned for the area.
"We have an opportunity to get an elementary school and a park," Reed said during the three-hour debate. "If we are going to close the achievement gap, we have to be aggressive and take advantage of opportunities such as we have before us today."
The school plan passed 6-4 with council members Ash Kalra, Kansen Chu, Don Rocha and Xavier Campos opposed. Councilman Sam Liccardo had to recuse himself because his fiancee works for Rocketship.
"We could do better," Campos said. "It just feels like we're getting the short end out of it."
The proposed school still has other hurdles to leap. The city planning commission on Wednesday is scheduled to decide whether the school fits in with city plans for the site. And the school also must secure a zoning exemption on Jan. 23 from the Santa Clara County Board of Education for the project to proceed.
But San Jose's approval was a key step. Under the city deal, Rocketship will buy the land at 1178 Lick Ave. from the city for $850,000 based on fair market value. The school will build a playground and parking area at no cost to the city and maintain it for 33 years and pay $1.5 million toward development of public park land on the rest of the property that would include a soccer field.
Critics said the area really needs a middle school, and feared the city was downplaying traffic problems that would result at that site.
"We want a win for everybody," said Brett Bymaster.
Councilman Johnny Khamis said there was no apparent interest in putting a middle school on the site and that if the city didn't approve the Rocketship deal there would be nothing there but an empty field.
The council also accepted a city audit that recommended ending or restricting the "bumping" that occurs in seniority-based layoffs under the civil service system. The council voted 6-5 to accept the report. Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen and council members Rocha, Chu, Campos and Kalra dissented because they favored Rocha's proposal to also ask management to update its performance review standards so they're consistent and reliable. City Manager Debra Figone agreed with the audit recommendations but suggested there are higher priorities in upcoming labor talks.
The audit noted San Jose has cut its workforce from about 7,500 to 5,400 and laid off 337 employees, nearly all in the past three years as employee pay and benefit costs outpaced revenues weakened by recessions.
Civil service rules in San Jose and other government agencies call for layoffs to be based strictly on seniority. Longtime employees whose jobs are cut can "bump" more recent hires from similar positions.
The civil service rules replaced a 19th-century patronage system of awarding jobs by political allegiance. But the audit argued the bumping created much turmoil in San Jose, with more than 900 workers bumped once, more than 300 bumped twice and 67 displaced three or more times. The report suggested letting employees bump less senior colleagues only within their departments rather than allowing them to displace workers in other departments.
The council also unanimously approved a pilot program to allow some public parking space to be replaced with planters, trees, tables, chairs or fountains, among other amenities, to create a more inviting atmosphere along certain streets.

The holidays are fast approaching and, amid the hustle and bustle, many
people choose to adopt a new puppy into their homes during the holiday season.
If you are the proud pet parent of a brand new puppy, here are some great tips
on how to best take care of your new bundle of joy during the cold-weather
Most puppies do fine in cold weather - many of the long haired large breeds
love to chase snowflakes and romp through winter landscapes. If you are
considering adopting a short haired breed or small puppy, never leave them
outside unattended. Although it is important to watch them vigilantly to make
sure they stay warm, most dogs can still enjoy short stints outside. Remember,
puppies need a lot of attention and care, and for potty training purposes, they
need to be able to relieve themselves every few hours. You can start potty
training your puppy as young as eight weeks of age, and it can take anywhere
from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
If you have opened your home to a puppy this winter and are wondering about
how best to care for your new family member, then watch this video. In it, Dr.
Sarah talks about special considerations for puppies during the cold months and
tips and tricks on how to beat old man winter.
A time of togetherness and giving, the holiday season is upon us. Many of
us will be devoting a great deal of time preparing for and spending time
with family and friends. And while we may be busy scurrying about, carrying
out holiday plans, the holidays are also a time when some reflect upon their
lives and consider the consequences of their actions for the benefit of
And I'm so grateful to have a role in a company that does so much to
promote the welfare and health of companion animals. As I'm fond of saying,
we're a small company with a great heart. Helping companion animals to lead
healthier, longer and happier lives is not just an important company commitment
… it's our personal mission.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to speak directly to you in posts like
this, to share my thoughts and insights in the hopes that they will benefit
you in some way. In this post, I'd like to reveal the latest news from the
work of the foundation that bears my name.
As you probably know, the Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation is a non-profit
organization that provides financial support to a variety of animal rescue
groups, all of which are dedicated to helping to save neglected, abused
and unwanted animals. Today in America, there are literally thousands of
rescue organizations working to make a brighter future for these helpless
creatures. We provide funding to deserving organizations that meet very
specific qualifications, such as demonstrating a high level of cleanliness,
maintaining a caring environment, providing full veterinary care, and facilitating
adoptions of their rescues.
In the past few months, we've awarded thousands of dollars to numerous
worthy rescue groups, including... More...
Skin. It has been with you since before you were born. The largest organ of your
body, your skin stretches as you grow and shrinks when you diet. But, most
importantly – ages while you age! Here are four simple steps that you can take
to keep your skin looking younger and feeling healthier:
Sun Protection – As we age, our skin is exposed to countless hours of sun.
Constant, unprotected exposure can eventually result in what we commonly refer
to as age spots. Ranging in all different sizes and shapes, these spots can
appear on any area that has been exposed to the sun's rays – your hands, arms,
legs and, unfortunately, even your face. In order to decrease the risk of the
appearance of these spots, you must protect your skin from the damaging rays of
the sun. These rays come in two different wavelengths, UVA and UVB. UVB rays,
while shorter than UVA, make our skin burn when overexposed. UVA rays, which
penetrate deep into the skin's layers, damage our collagen fibers … creating
those dreaded wrinkles and leathery-looking skin. The best form of protection
(besides staying indoors during daylight hours) is to use a broad-spectrum sunblock that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
Moisturize - Not only do moisturizers make your skin feel soft and smooth,
they also act as a "security blanket" for your skin. By using a moisturizer, you
are giving your skin a temporary layer of protection that substitutes for lost
collagen and elastin. Blanketing your skin with moisture helps to slow the
progression and deepening of wrinkles. When looking for a moisturizer, be sure
to take your skin type into consideration. Typically, moisturizers are made from
two types of bases, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. Water-in-oil-based
moisturizers tend to be thicker and greasier and ideal for hands or extreme dry
skin. On the contrary, oil-in-water-based moisturizers are lighter and a much
better choice for normal-to-oily skin. Be sure to check the label when choosing
a moisturizer and select one that best matches your skin type and needs. More...

To find the cheapest gas around you, visit WRDW's Gas Gauge page.
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, June 19, 2012
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- This year, AAA is predicting more people will be on the roads this Fourth of July, and the reason is lower gas prices.
Prices have dropped about 20 cents in the last month.
The changes in price are affecting local companies. The more money a company is spending on gas, the less money they have for jobs and growth.
Companies are constantly watching the gas gauge, and right now, they like what they see.
"We definitely run through quite a bit of it on a daily basis," said Tyler Moulton with Tall Pines Landscaping. "We use gas a lot ... our two to three vehicles every day that we're sending out, all of our equipment, the mowers, the weed-eaters ... everything we use, uses gas."
Last year, his company spent $30,000 in gasoline, so you can bet they're happy to see gas drop below $3.
"We can't just raise our set prices we have with clients on contracts and things like that. Once they're set, they're set, and we can't just raise those because gas prices are going up," Moulton explained.
For the first time since February, the national average is below $3.50 a gallon. AAA is predicting even more relief as the Fourth of July holiday approaches.
"It's definitely good news, but it could go lower," Moulton said.
At $2.95, North Augusta has the cheapest gas in the nation, and local businesses hope that number continues to drop.
"When they go down, then that's another employee that we can hire and more things we can do with our money," Moulton said. "More jobs we can get done, more invoices we can get out and, ultimately, more money we bring in."
And of course, businesses aren't alone. Everyone is excited about cheaper gas.
"If it's cheaper, I can ride around everywhere I want," said Violet Markley. "Everyone will love that."
Markley says she drives by the gas station every day, hoping for prices to be even lower.
"Oh, I was so excited, I said, 'Let me go over here and I can fill up more,'" she said after seeing the lower prices.
To put things in perspective, drivers in California are thrilled to be paying less than $4 for the first time in a while.

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.
The classic right hook, a motorist passing on the left and then turning right in front of a bicycle, can be discouraged with assertive lane position. Here's a variation on the right hook that is even easier to avoid.
When faced with a long line of cars at a red light, it's tempting for a bicyclist to snake up to the front using the narrow space between the cars and the curb. But as you approach the front of the line, the car at the front could turn right and collide with you. (If cars are parked on the side, you are also at risk of being "doored" by a suddenly opened car door.)
This is an easy one to prevent. Don't pass on the right! The Second Layer of Crash Prevention is "Follow the rules of the road", and the rule of the road says we pass on the left, not right. Take your place in line at the red light or stop sign.
Motorists should be aware that cyclists and pedestrians may try to fill that narrow space to the right. As a motorist, you can prevent this kind of right hook by checking for traffic to the right.
A few bicyclists scoff at this. "The point of bicycling is that it's faster than driving," they tell me. But there are a lot of great reasons to bicycle besides being faster. They break all the rules—riding on sidewalks, running red lights, riding where motorists can't—to get there faster. Not only does this put them at risk, it antagonizes motorists, pedestrians, and other cyclists. Because they are noticeable, flaunting all the rules, people think all cyclists are like that.
In a similar scenario, a bicyclist using the right turn only lane (RTOL) but going straight through is also at risk of a right hook, since motorists in the RTOL are turning right. In Kirksville most intersections are simple with one lane for each direction of travel, so this situation doesn't come up often.
The same principle of "Follow the rules of the road" applies to the RTOL. If you are turning right, use the right turn lane. If you are proceeding straight, use the straight-through lane. Sometimes the right turn lane doubles as a straight through lane. But don't use a RTOL unless you are turning right.

How My Mom Suckered Me Into Seeing a Fancy Beverly Hills Dermatologist
It was all she wanted for Christmas. I had to go.
After I check in, the waiting room jitters start to take over, so I calm my nerves by helping myself to the complimentary dried fruit by the water cooler. I just keep thinking about those hats. I check my phone and notice an email from my mom. She's wishing me good luck at my appointment and has a couple quick questions she'd love the renowned dermatologist to answer:
"How much does a neck and eye lift cost? And what is the recovery time?"
As I'm typing, "You DO NOT need anything lifted!" my name is called.

Very nice article. $900 for Restylane is quite reasonable. I'm assuming the doc was recommending a modest amount for that price. Her mother seems caring, but quite overbearing. She's 27, not 7.

Just a question--if the dermatologist said she had beautiful skin, why inject her with Restylane? This is what keeps me from trusting certain members of the medical industry--money, money, money! I did enjoy the mother-daughter conversation immensely.

I use splines a lot to design canoes. I use tables of offsets from texts and plans then enter them into a spread sheet. Once the spread sheet is complete I export the points to a cvs file so I have a list of x,y coordinates.
I presently input each set manually, and as you can imagine I often make a mistake. I have looked at the inputxy.ps script and it seems to be close to what I need, but not really.
What I need is a script that I can call to enter the points after I have selected the spline tool. As you know the command line first asks for an origin, then the points in succession.
If anyone has a script or can give me some pointers it would be much appreciated.
Just an FYI, I have over 20 years programming experience in C, C++ and a few other languages.
Many thanks in advance.

One-Skeinworthy Yarns
One-skein projects abound. The theory is that by requiring only one skein, the projects tend to take less time to complete. But our rush for instant gratification need not deprive us of life's tactile pleasures. One-skein projects offer a perfect opportunity to experience some of the most decadent and extraordinary yarns on the market. While 12 skeins of such yarns may be beyond our budget, a single skein can be slowly savored both on the needles and off.
You probably have your own list of yarns that you'd love to experience at least once. But just in case that list needs a little padding, here are my recommendations.
Yardage Matters
Many of the one-skein books bend the rules slightly by using lots of lace in their projects. I say "bend the rules" because lace always comes in extremely generous skeins, making it reasonably easy to achieve a technically sophisticated project with just one skein. Lace yarns cannot be beat for their penny-per-yard economy.
While "economy" isn't a word normally used in the same sentence as qiviut, lace does make the investment in this luxury fiber go further. The downy undercoat of the Arctic Musk Ox, qiviut is reputed to be one of the warmest and finest fibers on earth. When spun into a fine strand of yarn and plied together into lace-weight yarn, the fiber provides an ethereal softness and halo without any overbearing weight.
If you don't want to spend $98 on a 218-yard skein, opt for the qiviut/Merino/silk blend that costs $57 for the same yardage. This blend is actually superior in many ways to the pure qiviut because you get added body and shimmer while still enjoying all the warmth and softness of the qiviut. Dare I mention that Windy Valley Musk Ox is having a sale between now and January 1, 2011?
Qiviut notwithstanding, most basic lace-weight yarns have some percentage of Merino in the blend to give the yarn body and bounce. Hand-dyer Jennifer Heverly, of Spirit Trail Fiberworks, worked with a mill to create her own ideal lace blend called Nona (pictured here). It contains 50% Merino, 25% cashmere, and 25% bombyx silk. Each 630-yard skein retails for only $34. (A note on availability: As with most boutique hand-dyers, please be patient while Jennifer posts new batches of Nona on her site.)
Fingering Silky Merino
Of course any mention of hand-dyed luxuries—especially those including silk—must include a deep bow to Sundara Murphy of Sundara Yarn. Her nuanced gemlike colors glow in silk blends.
Her Fingering Silky Merino offers 500 yards of 50% silk/50% Merino for $50 per skein, and you can easily make any scarf, cowl, or shawlette from just one skein. But which color to choose?
Swiss Mountain Cashmere and Silk
And then there's Hand Maiden's Swiss Mountain Cashmere and Silk, a swatch of which I dutifully carry around with me at all times in case of emergency. (You may laugh but it's true.) A perfect blending of 65% cashmere and 35% silk, the yarn is spun at a water-powered mill in Switzerland and then hand-dyed in Canada. It is airy, slick, and luminous.
Yardage is a little less generous than the other yarns discussed so far, with one 196-yard skein running approximately $39.95. That same single skein would make a perfect Knotty Scarflett (by Sivia Harding) or Spiralucious (by Anne Hanson). And for sheer tactile ecstasy, this yarn is it.
Beaded Cashmere and Sequins
If the silk in these cashmere/silk blends isn't swanky enough for you, the next logical choice is to use a yarn that's been embellished with beads or sequins...or both, if you're Artyarns Beaded Cashmere and Sequins (shown here). The sparkle of glass beads and matching sequins adds a Tiffany's touch to a base of 65% silk/35% cashmere. This yarn pushes the one-skein concept just a little because each skein holds only 90 yards, and it'll set you back about $60. But I'm confident that one of you will find a suitably sparkly one-skein solution for this yarn.
In Praise of Thick/Thin
Despite the attention given to finer gauge yarns, bulky yarns have their place in the one-skein repertoire. When composed of good fibers, they feel like heaven. And more to the point, bulky yarns knit up quickly—which can be helpful in a last-minute situation. In her book More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, Joelle Hoverson used one of my favorite bulky luxury yarns, Hand Jive Thick and Thin (shown here). The textural intrigue from the varying thicknesses, combined with Darlene's subtle and warm naturally dyed colors, make for a winning combination. I've heard murmurs that this yarn has been discontinued. Just in case this is true, you may want to snatch up what's left at Purl Soho before it's all gone. Bundles of Briar Rose
Another source of single-skein happiness at primarily heavier gauges is Briar Rose Fibers. Nearly all of Chris Roosien's hand-painted offerings come in generous, puppy-sized bundles that are meant to be picked up and squeezed—which you'll see crowds of people do in the Briar Rose booth at major sheep and wool festivals. Shown here is Glory Days, a 500-yard hank of Bluefaced Leicester that's dyed in a purple variant of Chris's telltale moody hues and retails for $30. Pondering the Kozmos
What is the ideal one-skein yarn? It's one that makes you sigh happily when you touch it, that works itself easily on the needles, and that produces beautiful fabric with depth and nuance—all from a single skein. Alchemy Yarns Kozmos fits all these requirements.
An unexpected blend of 30% silk, 26% mohair, 15% wool, and 31% cotton, Kozmos initially behaves like a brushed mohair—but then the cotton rises from the fuzz and pulls it back down to earth, like soap bubbles in a bowl of dry ice. The unusual base is only part of the yarn's appeal. The other part comes directly from the eyes and hands of Gina Wilde, who paints each skein by hand. It is then wound into 119-yard hanks that retail for $29 apiece. One skein will let you adorn your neck with a puffy and intriguing slightly shorter, single-color version of Whitney Van Nes' super-easy Cowl with a Twist. (Just keep track of how much yarn each row takes and bind off when you have about two rows' worth of yarn left.)
A good one-skein yarn also leaves you longing for more, as all these yarns do. In that regard, you can consider your initial one-skein project a mere swatching exercise for larger projects to come.What's on your must-knit list?

Fishing reopens off local island
Published: Saturday, December 7, 2013 at 10:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 7, 2013 at 10:51 p.m.
Commercial and recreational fishing in a portion of coastal waters adjacent to Elmer's Island has been reopened for the first time since last year's Hurricane Isaac washed up tar balls from the 2010 Gulf oil spill.
The area includes a strip of state outside waters roughly half a mile off Lafourche Parish, between Belle and Caminada passes.
The area shows no visible surface oil and no known oil residues and will continue to be monitored, the agency says.
A map of the reopened waters is posted at www.wlf.louisiana.gov/oilspill and with this news brief at houmatoday.com and dailycomet.com.

Typically white knee-length with stripes at the top. Looks good on both girls and guys. However, in the latter case should always be worn with short (mid-thigh or above) shorts and NEVER with sandals.
denim short shorts, tube socks and vans slip ons is a classic look, and extremely comfy in summer.

SAN JOSE -- The Earthquakes didn't need Al Gore to remind them about the effects of altitude in the Rocky Mountain region.
They talked about playing more conservatively Saturday against the Colorado Rapids before the former vice president floated the idea that President Barack Obama's debate performance suffered because of the thin air in the Mile High city.
Major League Soccer's premier team is wary of playing at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in the Denver suburb of Commerce City, Colo., because it lies at 5,200 feet and has a large field -- 120 yards by 80 yards. By comparison, San Jose's home turf at Buck Shaw Stadium is 115 by 74. And that's at sea level.
"We can't be the high-flying team that we usually are," defender Steven Beitashour said. "We have to be smart with the way we attack."
But don't expect the Quakes (18-6-7) to hunker down for a defensive struggle. Coach Frank Yallop might start three prolific goal scorers who have become a nightmare for opponents this season.
With left-side midfielder Simon Dawkins nursing an ankle sprain, it's possible Alan Gordon (13 goals), Steven Lenhart (10) and Chris Wondolowski (22) could line up together. They have scored 10 times in 239 minutes when on the field at the same time.
With a 15-day break after Saturday's game, it is doubtful Yallop would risk using Dawkins (eight goals) when the Quakes will need him for the MLS playoffs next month.
Despite the intimidating presence of the goal-scoring troika, the Earthquakes hope to re-emphasize defense Saturday after allowing six goals in the previous three games. The players understand the importance of defending, particularly in the playoffs where games usually are low scoring.
"Defensive teams win championships in all sports," goalkeeper Jon Busch said. "It's a good reminder of what you need to be successful in the playoffs."
Although Colorado (9-18-4) was eliminated from the playoff race this week, the Earthquakes don't plan to ease up on the road.
They need one point to clinch the Western Conference title. With three games left in the regular season, they lead Sporting Kansas City by three points in the Supporters' Shield race.
"We want to go forward and score," Yallop said. "We just got to tighten up and not give good chances away.
"For us to change our game right now: no chance."
San Jose, which is on a six-game unbeaten streak, won't have powerful center back Victor Bernardez, who is ineligible after receiving his fifth yellow card last weekend.
Center back Ike Opara also is not expected to play because of concussion-like symptoms.
The Earthquakes will count on Jason Hernandez and Justin Morrow to patrol the back line, a combination that accentuates the team's deep roster. Both are fast and experienced in handling pressure from strikers.

The mania for Apple's newest gadgets isn't confined to frighteningly obsessive consumers; filmmakers are now touting movies about, shot through and even edited on iPads and new iPhones. This gimmick content isn't nearly as bad as you might think.
It probably helps that Apple owners are seen as finicky aesthetes. Whether the stereotype is true or not, it's at least one deterrent against publishing i-optimized schlock. Or maybe the early Apple adopters really are that much more creative than everyone else and these videos are just a natural consequence of their elite status. Either way, guys: You're supposed to charge Apple to make commercials for them. Oy. Anyway, here's some of the more prominent output of the growing iAuteur ranks:
Apple of My Eye, shot and edited entirely on an iPhone 4. Fairly syrupy, but well above the average of other user-uploaded videos, even on the higher-brow Vimeo service. (Via Daring Fireball)
Solace music video, in which DJ Rana June builds a perfect boyfriend using an iPad. June is also known as "the iPad DJ" for her pioneering use of the Apple tablet as a virtual drum machine/mixer/turntable. (via Gizmodo)
156 Turns, a documentary-style Ducati commercial about the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, shot entirely on an iPhone 4. Very handsome, although slightly ridiculous as a human drama. (via Jalopnik)

Mandalay Pictures has released the first trailer for "When the Game Stands Tall," the film adaptation of former Contra Costa Times columnist Neil Hayes' 2003 book about coach Bob Ladouceur and Concord's record-breaking De La Salle football program.
Directed by Thomas Carter, the film follows the now-retired Ladouceur -- played by Jim Caviezel -- through the ups and downs of leading the Spartans through the team's 151-game winning streak that ran from 1992 to 2003 and shattered all records for any American sport.
"I'm really stoked," says Bob Larson, a former Bay Area News Group photographer who took 46 pictures for the book, including the cover shot of former De La Salle and now Oakland Raiders running back Maurice Jones-Drew (who has a cameo in the film).
Producers hired Larson to do research and provide photos to costume and set designers. Six of Larson's shots appear at the film's end.
"They kept me busy -- it was fun," says Larson. "I saw a sneak peak and it sent chills up my spine. The second time I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes."
The film, which also stars Alexander Ludwig, Michael Chiklis and Laura Dern, is scheduled for an Aug. 22 release. It was filmed mostly in New Orleans, though some scenes were shot in the Easy Bay.

Patent Battle Moves to Senate, and Splits Corporate America
As early as spring, President Obama may sign some version of a bill addressing patent litigation – at least according to legal observers watching the situation closely.
What it will look like is an open question and it's dividing the technology industry and other companies.
If this sounds like deja vu all over again, you wouldn't be wrong: the president signed the last piece of patent legislation — the America Invents Act — just a little over two years ago.
The AIA represented the most significant overhaul of our patent system since the early 1950s, and made a host of significant changes to the system, including the way the government grants patents and the way parties can lodge challenges to existing patents.
Still, there's a widely (not universally) shared view that a key problem with the patent system persists. Too many people are suing over lousy patents.
What's to be done? The bill that passed the House earlier this month contained several provisions — mostly focused on litigation. The bill would require litigants in patent cases to disclose more information on the patent and the alleged infringement. It would also give judges more discretion to limit discovery and encourage them to order a plaintiff to pay the other side's legal fees when a lawsuit fails to prove infringement. That's right, folks: Loser pays.
Now the bill has moved over to the Senate, where discussion opened up on Tuesday over whether to keep the bill focused on litigation, or to expand its aims. Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y), is pushing for a provision to help improve the quality of the patents in the first place, rather than merely tweaking the rules of patent litigation.
"A patent reform bill that does not address patent quality is like treating the symptoms instead of the disease," said Schumer. "If we do not address the fundamental problem of patent quality, trolls will continue to abuse poor quality patents and we will be right back here having this same debate."
Sen. Schumer's proposal has created an interesting split among deep-pocketed tech companies, according to the Washington Post (linked above).
On one side sit tech companies, like Microsoft and IBM, and others, who sit on troves of patents and don't want to live in a world in which it's any easier to challenge them.
On the other sit other big businesses, including some from "low-tech" industries like casinos and restaurants, who've gotten caught up in bogus patent suits and would love to see it become easier to challenge patents with the Patent & Trademark Office.
