Gary Gilkeson, Diane Kamen, Holly Mitchell, Jim Oates, Tasha Ruth, Melissa Cunningham, Hazel Breland, basic research scientists Tammy Nowling, John Zhang, and human genetics researcher Paula Ramos. Our clinical research effort includes investigator initiated observational and interventional studies and industry sponsored treatment trials for lupus. Our investigator initiated studies are administered through the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) and focus on biomarkers of lupus and lupus nephritis disease activity, the impact of vitamin D and other environmental factors on autoimmune disease, biomarkers of atherosclerosis and bone health in lupus, oral health and lupus, and the role of stress in the lives of patients with lupus. Our industry sponsored trials are designed to test a variety of new therapies that are intended to be more targeted with fewer adverse effects compared to current therapies used for the treatment of lupus. Our basic and translational research efforts focus on the role of reactive intermediates in the pathogenesis and disease damage involved in lupus, the role of complement in lupus, and genes involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes in lupus.

Garland police fire officer who shot at suspect 41 times, killing him at end of chase
Updated at 1:30 p.m.:
Any criminal charges against Tuter are still pending with the Dallas County district attorney's office.
Mesquite police passed the results of their investigation the DA's office months ago, and DA's office spokeswoman Debbie Denmon says the case has yet to go to a grand jury.
Original entry:
A Garland police officer was fired this morning after an investigation into an Aug. 31 shooting in which he shot 41 times at a fleeing suspect.
Authorities say Officer Patrick Tuter shot and killed Michael Vincent Allen of Wylie after a 30-minute high-speed chase that began in Garland and ended in a Mesquite cul-de-sac. The 25-year-old suspect was unarmed at the time.
The seven-year veteran of the force, who said that he felt threatened when he opened fire on Allen's pickup, had been under investigation by Garland police internal affairs ever since last fall's shooting.
"Tuter has been fired because he was found in violation of two general orders of our department," Garland police spokesman Joe Harn said. "He violated our pursuit policy as well as our use of force policy."
Tuter began chasing Allen because he was wanted for running from Sachse police days earlier. The officer told investigators that he opened fire at Allen because he thought the suspect had a gun.
"At some point, while trying to prevent the suspect from making an escape, Officer Tuter did feel in fear for his life and was justified in firing his weapon," Tuter's attorney, John Snider, said at the time.
Dashboard cameras later revealed that Tuter slammed his squad car into Allen's truck, then cornered the suspect and fired 41 shots from his department-issued semiautomatic weapon, pausing to reload twice.
Allen's family has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Tuter. The lawsuit says that since Allen was unarmed and did not pose a threat, Tuter's use of force was extreme for the situation.

About the Book
Robert V. Remini's A Short History of the United States is an abbreviated, accessible, lively, and erudite narrative history that contains the essential facts about the discovery, settlement, growth, and development of the American nation and its institutions. Racing across the centuries—from the arrival and migration of Native Americans and the discovery of the New World by Europeans, the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, up to the global conflicts of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries—it is a fascinating overview of a great nation's epochs and missteps, and a celebration of its achievements, its unique and enduring strengths, and its abiding commitment to individual freedoms.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A masterful recounting of the Amercian experience from the discovery of the New World to the present. . . . It is a perfect history for our times." — Robert Dallek, author of Nixon and Kissinger
"In 2008, Americans face war, terrorism, recession and the rising economies of China and India. Yet the author avers there is still reason to hope for good leadership. Astute assessments of an evolving nation and ideal reading for November voters." — Kirkus Reviews
"Provides everything a casual (or bewildered) reader needs to know about the United States from the first English colonists until the beginning of 2008. . . . An objective narrative of this nation's history that readers of all political stripes will appreciate." — Publishers Weekly
"One of our great historians has now given us yet another great work. . . . [It] may be brief, but it is wise, eloquent and authoritative. Readers in search of a sprightly tour of the nation's lives and times need look no farther than Remini's latest achievement." — Jon Meacham, author of American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House

Wayne – Character design
As you finally get to see the Captain from up close I figured it would be appropriate to show you some development sketches. Some of them are pretty dated, actually most of Wayne's character design was done between late 2003 and the end of 2005. But it wasn't until I started to render the final pages that I really got to know him and he evolved from there. It's probably not too evident when you look at the finished pages but I sure feel as though I know him very well now!
As I mentioned earlier, the whole idea for Cpt Wayne started as a pitch for a video game. Most of the early designs were geared towards that purpose, but it allowed me to focus on something that was quite new to me: cartoony character design. The only major comic book venture I'd been involved in (still unpublished) had a more realistic look to it with human characters. When I set off to design Cpt Wayne and his universe, I consciously opted to go for a more cartoony look, something that departed completely from anything I had ever done. It was all new territory for me as it had nothing to do with my training as a car designer or my work as graphic designer.
Once I had found the look that clicked for me, I spent a considerable amount of time working on the proportions. Sounds pretty weird but Wayne's final look defined everything else that followed, it set the mark of where I wanted the whole look of the book to stand (by then I knew that I would make this into a graphic novel). If you were to make a scale going from hyper realistic (1) to super cartoony (10), I guess it would stand at about 7.
Finally, I'd like to explain why I included a couple of drawings of the Captaincy guard. Robots play an important part in science fiction and I like the idea of them being more mechanical than cybernetic. The quick and dirty animation was just a way for me to see what this specific design would look like in motion.
No video this week, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. See you next week when I'll be talking a bit about my world building process. Don't forget to leave a comment if you feel like it.

The Red Sox will hold ticket prices for the 2013 season at 2012 levels in all seating categories, the team announced.
The price freeze applies to season-ticket and individual game sales, and also to spring-training tickets in Fort Myers, Fla.
�It was abundantly clear this year that we should hold the line on ticket prices,� said team president/CEO Larry Lucchino, in a statement. �Over the past few years, we have fallen short of our goals to play postseason baseball. Through it all, fans have shown their deep loyalty and support, for which we are all grateful. Our commitment to winning is as strong as it has ever been, and we look forward to the challenge of bringing our fans the winning and entertaining baseball team they richly deserve.�
According to Team Marketing Report, the Red Sox last year had the highest average price ($53.38) for a nonpremium ticket of all major-league teams. The Red Sox have not made the playoffs since 2010, and have not won a playoff game since 2009.

I'm working from this awesome home in Santa Monica for two weeks and man, I don't wanna leave, ever! During my breaks, I'd walk around and stealthily snap a photo here and there. I hope my hosts don't mind! And no styling was needed because every room was picture-perfect. Everything in this home has me drooling with envy. Those awesome textiles, that huge fiddle leaf fig tree, that supple, caramel leather couch, the blingin' doubleheaded pheonix-looking mirror, and the baby's room! How sexy is the navy dresser with brass pulls? Hope all you vintage vultures find this home inspiring!

Taxpayer Search for Information: Implications for Rational Attention

Ross School of Business Paper No. 1198
We examine novel data on searches for capital-gains-tax-related information to determine when and how taxpayers acquire information. We find strong seasonal increases in information search around tax filing deadlines, suggesting that taxpayers seek information to comply with tax law. Positive correlations between stock market activity and information search and year-end spikes in information search on capital losses suggest that taxpayers seek information for tax planning purposes. Policy changes and news events cause noteworthy information search. Overall, these data suggest that taxpayers are not always fully informed, but that rational attention and exogenous shocks to tax salience drive taxpayer information search.

The day finished under the floodlights in the early morning hours with Wawrinka losing his cool and snapping at the rowdy crowd before escaping with a testy win.
After cruising through the opening two sets, Wawrinka had appeared set for a routine victory but the Swiss suddenly found himself in a titanic struggle with both the 95th-ranked Brazilian and some spectators.
In the third set, Bellucci charged 5-1 ahead to keep the match alive and then secured an early break in the fourth as a frustrated Wawrinka muttered to himself.
With the tension building and the score locked at 5-5 after the Swiss had broken back in the sixth game, Wawrinka's mumblings turned to open rage as he screamed at one heckler to "shut up man".
The Australian Open champion would, however, quickly regain his composure as the set moved to a tiebreak, which he dominated 7-1.
"I was trying to keep the focus you know when you drop your level against Bellucci, it is tough," Wawrinka said in a courtside interview. "He started to play better and it started to be a really tricky match.
"In the fourth set, I tried to focus more on my game. I was playing a little more aggressive at the end of the match and that is what made the difference."
Victory for Wawrinka, the Australian Open champion, set up a meeting with Blaz Kavcic of Slovenia, the only other man through to the third round so far.
Kavcic booked his place in the next round with a 6-2 6-7 (6) 6-3 win over Frenchman Jeremy Chardy.
First-round play was completed with sixth-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych dismissing 2001 champion Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 6-3 6-4 6-3 and seventh seed Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov a 6-2 7-6 6-2 victor over local wild card Ryan Harrison.
Other men's seeds reaching the second round included Ernests Gulbis of Latvia (11), Marin Cilic of Croatia (14), South African Kevin Anderson (18) and Feliciano Lopez of Spain (19).
Cilic and Lopez advanced in abbreviated fashion. Cilic was leading 6-3 3-1 when Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus retired with an ankle injury, while Lopez was at 1-1 in the fifth set when Croat Ivan Dodig could no longer continue due to cramping.

The Warriors may be down two centers as Andris Biedrins, the starter, is questionable for today's game against the Los Angeles Clippers because of an ailing back.
"It's a little sore," Biedrins said Thursday. "Hopefully I will play, but we'll see (today)."
Biedrins' backup, Ronny Turiaf, missed Wednesday's game with a sprained left knee. He did not practice Thursday and is doubtful for today's game. So coach Don Nelson will turn to veteran Mikki Moore as the starting center if Biedrins or Turiaf can't play. The last time Moore started was last season with the Sacramento Kings, on Jan."6 at Chicago.
Anthony Randolph, whom Nelson said will serve as a backup center, won't start because the Clippers feature 7-foot, 265-pound Chris Kaman. Nelson has said he wants Randolph to play only against reserves.
In Wednesday's win over Memphis, Randolph played seven minutes, less than three when Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies starting center, was on the floor. The backup center for the Clippers is second-year 7-footer DeAndre Jordan. But Jordan hasn't played much, as Kaman averages 40.6 minutes.
"I'm much stronger (than I was last year)," Randolph said. "I know a lot more about the NBA game, but I still need a lot of game-time experience to make the player I hopefully will be in the future. I'm better able to guard (big guys). Like I said, I'm a basketball player, whether I'm guarding the (power forward), (center) or (small forward)."
If Biedrins and Turiaf are out, it seems Nelson has to get Randolph playing time, unless Moore gets all the minutes.
"That's why we brought Moore in," Nelson said. "Mikki's going to play against the starting center. Randolph's going to play against the backup center. But I'm not sure we're not going to have (Biedrins)."
All this speculation is moot if Biedrins can play, which will be determined after the morning shootaround. He said he felt pain in his back when he grabbed a rebound and put it back in with 2:29 left in Wednesday's win over Memphis. Biedrins was bumped under the basket and had to twist his body to score the basket.
During that sequence Biedrins wrenched his back, and the pain was enough for him to ask to be pulled.
"It just started to hurt really bad at that moment," Biedrins said.
He said the back was fine after the game, but Thursday morning he was stiff and sore. Biedrins, who put his chances at playing tonight at about 50-50, said he isn't worried about his back being a lingering issue because he's never had back problems before. But Biedrins said he will wait for the team doctor to determine if it's possible for him to do more damage by playing.
Being 100 percent by today is not realistic, Biedrins said. But because the Warriors are short-handed in the frontcourt, Biedrins said he won't wait until he is fully healthy to play.
"It's just a matter if I will be able to run and move and do other stuff," Biedrins said. "Of course I will try to play even though it will bother me."
Notes: Former Warriors star point guard Baron Davis returns to Oakland for the second time since he left Golden State. In his first game at Oracle Arena as a Clipper, a 127-120 Warriors victory, Davis had 29 points, seven assists and five rebounds in 39 minutes. ... Swingman Kelenna Azubuike has signed to endorse Protégé, the basketball shoe line created by former Warrior Al Harrington and backed by teammate Stephen Jackson. In February, Protégé partnered with Kmart to donate a million pairs of shoes to Samaritan's Feet, a charity organization that provides shoes for impoverished children around the world. ... Tonight's game is Filipino Heritage Night. Arnel Pineda, lead singer of popular rock group Journey, will make an appearance. It is also a Friends and Family game. Fans can get four tickets and four meals at a discounted rate. For more information, go to www.warriors.com.

Pastor Manders Timeline and Summary
- Pastor Manders arrives at Rosenvold on the steamer. He is received by Regina and encourages her to go home and live with her father.
- Pastor Manders greets Mrs. Alving and scolds her about her reading. He asks her to forego insurance on the Orphanage, and she agrees.
- Oswald enters, and Manders has an argument with him about the sinfulness of "irregular marriages."
- When Mrs. Alving confesses she agrees with Oswald, Manders lets her have it. He tells her that she is selfish and wayward. She left her husband, abandoned her child, and continues to behave badly.
- Pastor Manders is shocked to learn that Captain Alving was just as dissipated at the end of his life as when Mrs. Alving fled at the beginning of their marriage. Still, he thinks she's done the right thing in keeping the truth to herself.
- Pastor Manders and Mrs. Alving overhear Oswald pursuing Regina in the next room.
- Manders realizes that Engstrand lied about getting Regina's mom, Johanna, pregnant. He therefore believes that he (Manders) has committed some sin in marrying them. The Pastor resolves to have some words with the carpenter.
- The Pastor urges Mrs. Alving not to sacrifice her son's idealization of his father.
- Engstrand enters. After going after him for lying, Pastor Manders listens to Engstrand's side of the story. He claims to have covered up Johanna's promiscuity to rescue her from waywardness and make her respectable.
- Pastor Manders gives the carpenter a thumbs-up and even apologizes to him.
- Pastor Manders and Engstrand leave together to hold a prayer service at the Orphanage.
- The Orphanage burns down.
- When Pastor Manders enters again, he's freaked out. Engstrand is claiming that the Pastor caused the fire, and hinting that the public will tear him apart.
- Engstrand offers to take the blame for the fire if Manders will support his sailor's home with Captain Alving's funds. (We know that the "Sailor's Home" is really a brothel.) Manders takes him up on it.
- The two men leave together.

Statement on Zambia's 2006 Tripartite Elections
1 October 2006
Civil Society for Poverty Reduction - Zambia (CSPR) - http://www.cspr.org.zm/
As an antipoverty advocacy Network of over 130 civil society organisations from different parts of the country, whose vision is 'A Zambia in which all its citizens enjoy all basic needs', we urge the electorate and those desiring to be elected, to keep in mind the following 6 critical issues as we vote in a new Government.
1. All Zambians must ensure that their decisions are driven by the need to have uncompromised people driven and centred development in Zambia.
2. People centred development requires that any party that forms the next government should not politicise but expedite the implementation process of decentralization policy and the decentralisation implementation plan.
3. Voters should pay particular attention to the position of Councillors and Members of Parliament, as these will be handling the responsibilities of local development for the next five years. Inappropriate leaders could fail to yield the intended goals of decentralization and development at the lower levels.
4. The next government should continue to appreciate the critical role of civil society in pro-poor development and to this effect recognise the efforts made and input of non state actors in the formulation of a long term plan, the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP) for Zambia which is a viable vehicle for the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. This should not be thrown out, but strengthened and implemented for the benefit of the population and the millions of people that live in unacceptable conditions.
5. Zambians have, over the years, gained a positive reputation in fiscal discipline. Continuity in this regard is essential, especially the prudent utilisation of public resources.
6. We call on the next Government to ensure the institutionalization of civil society participation in pro-poor policy processes.

Skill Level Beginner
Anytime you're working with a number of tracks, chances are that more or one of them might be a little bit out of rhythm with the rest. Groove Matching is one of the new features in GarageBand '11, and the results you can achieve are quite amazing. Some people feel that this is a little bit like cheating--well, if you want to play good rhythm, you've got to learn to play good rhythm--but the truth is, a lot of people are just starting out with music or maybe they're actually pretty good at music, but they're just starting out with recording, and the whole idea of throwing headphones on and tracking guitar is a little bit of nerve wrecking, you are not going to do your best performance all the time. Sometimes that's the performance you have, so you can use Groove Matching to bring the rhythm of a given track into step with the rhythm of another track.
It's kind of a luxury to be able to just sort of click a couple of buttons in GarageBand and bring your rhythm section into groove with each other. So if this is something you want to use, go for it. If you feel like it's cheating, then don't use it. It's one of those features that's totally up to you. It's not automatic, but it's very powerful. A good example of the groove matching function would be to tighten up my original scratch acoustic guitar part using the drum track that I laid in here as the groove track, and then I can use the groove assigned check boxes, as you will see, to connect the guitar part to that drum loop track, and I will do this by hovering my mouse over the left edge of any of the tracks.
You will see that you can click to assign one track as the groove track. So the fact that I used drum loops from the Apple Loops library and I know that these loops are solid, going to make that my groove track by clicking on the star to the left. GarageBand wants to analyze audio for groove tracks. You have to actually give it permission to go through and find all of the rhythmic anomalies and sort of figure out where it's going to do its work. And we also have to enable the Follow Tempo & Pitch function, which as soon as I click Continue here, I can show you where that's located.
Normally you would have it off, but in order to perform a groove-match, you have got to let GarageBand switch Follow Tempo & Pitch on, so go ahead click Continue to that as well. So GarageBand performed an analysis of my bass track, my acoustic guitar track and also the drum track as the master. By default, it has placed a check mark here in the left column for both Bass and Guitar. But perhaps I want to keep the bass as it was when I recorded it and justify Groove Matching to the acoustic guitar. So I can turn those off and decide which tracks I want to apply Groove Matching to.
Drum loops are often a really good choice for groove masters, since they're completely in time, but there's no reason not to use whatever drummer you have playing on your song, even if it's not loops, since the drummer is first and foremost setting the time and feel of the song. If your drummer is falling out of step, hopefully you have another track you can elect as the groove track and lock your other tracks to it. What I want you to take a look at here-- I am going to zoom in a little bit more so we can see our waveforms a little more clearly of guitar and bass here-- when I actually click the check mark in the left column to follow the timing of our groove track in the acoustic guitar, I want you to watch these waveforms just carefully and notice when I click the check box that they are actually going to nudge around a little bit.
GarageBand has used the rhythm of the drums to reposition the transients within this acoustic guitar track to match it so that the rhythm is solid between the two took. So keep your eye on those waveforms. See how they just moved around a little bit there? I'm going to scroll further along in the song here, because I know that there is a part right here before the Chorus-- let me turn Groove Match off here for a sec and zoom in a little bit more Pre-Chorus-- I was listening back to the song here before recording this movie and realizing that when I came in at the beginning of the Chorus on the acoustic guitar track that in fact I was a bit late to my rhythm, and you can actually see that here as I zoom in.
This is the downbeat of Chorus. Here is Bar 26, so as far as the Metronome is concerned, this is the one, and the drum part really does come in there. That first snare kick drum hit right at the beginning, it's on the money. My guitar note is a little bit late, so sort of lagging out a little bit. The bass is fine, the bass is right on here on the money as well, but as I click this, watch how this waveform scoots back to the top of the bar. That's basically what Groove Matching is doing-- it's stretching and compressing your audio to match another track that you elect as your grid.
So let's listen to it without. You can sort of hear me coming in a little bit late. It's kind of subtle. I am not very late, but late enough to make this worth doing. (music playing) Play it one more time. (music playing) So I feel like that guitar is just a little bit soggy. It's a little bit behind the beat. I am going to click Groove Match on and play the same section for you. (music playing) One more time. (music playing) So now everybody is on the money.
We have got nice-sounding rhythm track and we can go back to the beginning and take a listen and hear this tight track. (music playing) I am going to adjust some of my volumes just a little bit, while we are listening back here as well, try to get a little bit of a better blend. (music playing) So let GarageBand help your tracks really stand out by using Groove Matching in moderation, especially when trying to push your rhythm tracks to be as solid as they can possibly be.

But NOW...haha...I'm loving these two shows~Have you seen either?
But NOW...haha...I'm loving these two shows~Have you seen either?
Faces of America is found online thankfully, and I've watched two of these so far. I watched Know Thyself and Making America. I hope you will find time to view them and discuss with me! There are four shows in the series...each one is an hour long I think.
Who Do You Think You Are? is a new series on NBC, Friday nights at 7 o'clock central time. The first show had me hooked although I am not a Sarah Jessica Parker fan...I really felt for her as she discovered things about her own ancestors. I didn't think I wanted to trace mine any further but now think I'd like to!
Do you care about what trials or successes your ancestors had? Do you think your future has anything to do with what has gone on before in your family?

WASHINGTON -- In a congressional campaign ad released Wednesday, Mark Sanford, R-Appalachian Trail, looks soberly into the camera and makes his closing plea before Tuesday's vote.
"Nancy Pelosi and allies have spent more than a million dollars to defeat me," he complains.
He is right. It is outrageous that Democrats would engage in such reckless and irresponsible spending to defeat him. Sanford was perfectly capable of defeating himself.
Recall what the disgraced former governor of South Carolina has done since winning the Republican primary in late March in an attempt to reclaim his old House seat:
He had one of his young sons meet his Argentine mistress (now his fiancee) for the first time -- onstage at his victory celebration.
He admitted to trespassing at his ex-wife's house.
He stood on a city street and pretended to debate a life-size cardboard cutout of Pelosi.
He took out a newspaper ad providing his cellphone number to voters and likening his campaign to the fight for the Alamo, getting the date of that great struggle wrong by 27 years.
In the process, Sanford's zaniness caused the National Republican Congressional Committee to abandon him and cut off funding for his comeback campaign. On the positive side, he did pick up the endorsement of pornographer Larry Flynt.
Sanford is now poised to accomplish what was seemingly impossible: hand the seat to Democrats for the first time since 1978.
Sanford's opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, has been aided by her brother, comedian Stephen Colbert. In this there is a cruel irony: The "Comedy Central" personality is helping to keep from Congress a man who would be an endless source of comedy.
Democrats and Democrat-friendly super PACs have been pouring money into ads reminding voters of Sanford's 2009 disappearance.
In a debate Monday, Colbert Busch picked up the theme. "When we talk about fiscal spending and we talk about protecting the taxpayers," she said, "it doesn't mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose."
Sanford's reply: "I couldn't hear what she said."
That response was only slightly better than Sanford's response a couple of weeks earlier to news that his ex-wife had filed a complaint that he had violated their divorce agreement by entering her home without permission. "I did indeed watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house with our 14-year-old son because as a father I didn't think he should watch it alone," Sanford said in a statement.
Sanford repeated that unusual explanation in a full-page ad he bought in the Charleston Post and Courier the next week. At the end of the lengthy "personal message," he concluded:
"In March of 1863" -- 1836, actually, but stay with him -- "there was similarly very little time. A South Carolinian by the name of William Travis drew a line in the sand with his sword and simply asked those who would stay and fight, to cross it." Sanford went on to say that, although he is outnumbered just as the men of the Alamo were, "I'd ask you to cross the line and fight with me."
Cross the line? Sanford evidently forgot that was the same phrase he used when he admitted to his extramarital relations. It's one more reason why South Carolinians, asked to cross the line with Sanford on Tuesday, are likely to tell him to take a hike.
Dana Milbank is a Washington Post columnist.

INWOOD - With Musselman's leading scorer and rebounder Trevon Wesco having only six point in the first half of Tuesday night's contest at Cline Court against Berkeley Springs, the Applemen had to look for the "Bare necessities" in relying on their big men.
Jacob Bare spearheaded the Musselman offense in the first 16 minutes with 12 of his 18 points on the low block. He had help.
Bare, Tommy Hargroves and Wesco delivered key contributions inside 15 feet to help Musselman to a towering 82-55 victory.

Musselman's Noah Brooks drives on Berkeley Springs' Jared Spielman .
"We were busting boards," Bare said of the inside game, where he had six rebounds, four of them offensive. "We got the offensive rebounds to help us score points, and that helped us win this game."
"Jacob is doing a good job catching the ball and finishing around the basket," Applemen coach Derek Basile said. "He's looking, catching and finishing shots that he struggled with last year."
Hargroves also added contributions to the scoring total for the Applemen, also leading with 18 points, along with four rebounds and two assists.
"We didn't box out as well as we should, and we have to get back on that," Hargroves said. "We used our athleticism to get the rebounds, get the ball out to our guards on the outlet and run the break."
Musselman carried only a four-point advantage at the end of the first quarter.
Berkeley Springs had a 10-9 lead before Noah Brooks made a 3-pointer to put the Applemen ahead before stretching the lead to four before ending the opening eight minutes.
Musselman managed a larger wave of momentum and energy throughout the second quarter by outscoring the Indians 23-12. It took one big play to do so.
On a fastbreak, Wesco found Brooks with a lead pass as he made a beeline down the right side of the court. Brooks then tossed a lob pass, up for one of his five assists on the night, that was thrown down with one hand by Wesco, capping an early 8-0 run to start the quarter.
Berkeley Springs coach Jeremy Horvat had to burn a timeout to settle his players down with six minutes to play in the half to make the score 25-13.
Kyle Appel led the charge for the Tribe in the second quarter with six points. The Applemen rebounding trio was led by Wesco, the area's leading rebounder, with 14, paired with his 16 points for a double-double.
Wesco also finished the night with six assists, part of 26 total assists on 35 field-goals made.
"When we have those kind of numbers, we do really well," Basile said of the assist total. "Everyone did a great job sharing the basketball."
As Bare and Hargroves had set the tone early, Wesco began to start scoring in the second half. He scored 10 points in the final 16 minutes.
The Applemen (11-3) stretched the lead from 15 at halftime to 27 in the final two quarters, including outscoring the Indians 28-14 in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.
Michael Kearney led the Indians with a game-high 23 points. Zach Wise added 13, and Appel 10.

***1/2 ItÂs interesting to note what hasnÂt been included on TimÂs second volume of hits: lighthearted fare like the Top 5 ÂDo You Want Fries With That and the No. 1 ÂBack When are nowhere to be found. Reflected defines the last several years as a period of deepening maturity and seriousness for the guy who became a star over a decade ago singing the goofy ÂIndian Outlaw.Â
Reflected collects most of TimÂs hits since 2000Âs first Greatest Hits volume, and also reaches back for a couple of songs the previous CD missed, 1994Âs ÂNot a Moment Too Soon and 1997Âs exquisite ÂEverywhere. Both songs deserve a place here, although the difference in production style makes for a jarring transition from the surrounding tracksÂas does the inclusion of TimÂs smash duet with rapper Nelly, the R&B-flavored hip-hop track ÂOver and Over.Â
That song signals TimÂs broadening horizons, as do the four new tunes included. The inclusive ÂIÂve Got Friends That Do (one of two co-writing credits for Tim, a first) and a take on alt-country singer/songwriter Ryan Adams moody ÂWhen the Stars Go Blue promise many intriguing developments to come between now and Greatest Hits Vol. 3.

KaleStorm Headed to PB!
Feeling frail? Eat some kale! You'll find vibrant green, deep red and even bright purple kale from JR organics and Suzie's Farm at the Pacific Beach Tuesday Farmers' Market this week. Red Russian, curly green, black, blue Scotch, Lacinato and Red Monarch are a few of our favorites.
Curly green kale combines beautifully with shaved fennel from Suzie's, olive oil from The California Olive and balsamic vinegar from Bistro Blends, and spinach fettucine from Lisko Imports in this kale and fennel pasta recipe. Bake these tasty, crispy kale chips with Red Monarch kale - they're ideal for dipping in original Bitchin Sauce. Lacinato kale, also known as dinosaur kale (a much more fun name, we think!) is a traditional crop of Tuscany and an essential ingredient in an authentic minestrone. Red Russian kale seems to have a particular affinity for garlic, so sautee it with some as a side dish, or layer it with garlic jack cheese from Springhill Cheese Company and sourdough bread from Belen bakery for a healthy twist on grilled cheese sandwiches.
Speaking of health, there's growing body of evidence that kale is full of particularly potent source of nutrients that reduce the odds of developing several cancers. (But people taking commonly-prescribed blood thinners Warfarin should talk to their doctor before eating large amounts of kale.) A vegetable that's tasty, versatile, and super healthy. That's something to kalebrate!

Spotlight on Sarah Palin's New Lawyer: Anchorage's Thomas Van Flein
Sarah Palin isn't a lawyer, and she hasn't yet found herself at the center of a gigantic legal firestorm. Still, little legal threads involving John McCain's veep pick keep bubbling to the surface.
Which brings us to Thomas Van Flein. For all those who have been focused on the announcement concerning her daughter's pregnancy, there's other news out today on Palin: that she's lawyered up in an investigation into whether she acted ethically in dismissing Alaska's public safety commissioner. That lawyer is Van Flein. Van Flein told an Anchorage news station that he was hired by the Department of Law because Attorney General Talis Colberg has a conflict of interest prohibiting him from representing Palin.
We don't know too much about Van Flein, but according to this story from the Anchorage Daily News, he works at Anchorage's Clapp, Peterson, Van Flein, Tiemessen & Thorsness, his work started on August 21, and he's being paid $185 an hour. He got his BA from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (Go Nanooks!) and his JD from Arizona. (Click here for a cached link to Van Flein's page on the firm's Web site.)
Already, the kerfuffle has gotten heated. In a recent letter to the special counsel hired to handle the investigation for the Alaska state legislature, Van Flein argued that the investigation should be handled by the state's Personnel Review Board, not the legislature. In a response, state senator Hollis French gave that request a firm no.
What else do we know about Van Flein? He appears to know more about the Alaska Constitution than you do. Click here and here for his published scholarly work.
Law Blog Alaska News of the Day: The only association between Alaska and Duke University that we knew about was that former Duke shooting guard Trajan Langdon hailed from the 49th State. Here's another: the Duke University Law School publishes the journal known as the Alaska Law Review. Why Duke? According to the ALR Web site:
The Alaska Bar Association recognizes a need for a scholarly publication devoted specifically to issues affecting Alaska. Alaska does not, however, have a state law school so the Alaska Bar selected Duke University School of Law to publish the Alaska Law Review.

Weber Looks To Get Players Ready
Going into second season as Panthers AHL coach, Chuck Weber looks to improve and get players ready to be Panthers.
Sunday, 09.11.2011 / 10:34 PM ET / News
Florida Panthers
|Chuck Weber goes over strategy with Corey Durocher during the Panthers rookie game against Tampa Bay.
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – Panthers prospect AJ Jenks is on the move from a slow start but personally successful last year with Rochester (AHL) to the Florida Panthers Rookie Camp this year. But if he doesn't make the Panthers out of camp, it wouldn't be the end of the world. The left winger played for then-head coach of the Rochester Americans Chuck Weber last season and is glad to be in his company again during the Rookie Tournament.
"It would be a great situation either way," Jenks says about playing for either the Panthers or the Rampage this upcoming season. "[San Antonio] obviously has a great coaching staff."
After coaching the Amerks for one season, Chuck Weber will serve in the same capacity with the San Antonio Rampage, guiding the Panthers prospects in the Lone Star state as its seventh head coach for the team's tenth season. Weber, 38, has quite the resume for someone his age. It is his second season in the AHL after a wildly successful four-year stint as head coach of the Cincinnati Cyclones in the ECHL.
According to Jenks, the coaches have an open-door policy and are always looking to get better, which he finds admirable and an important aspect of their relationship.
Reflecting on his first year with the AHL, the biggest thing Weber says he wants to improve on is developing a winning environment.
"If (Jacob) Markstrom is with us, it's obviously going to be a huge advantage for us," said Weber.
In an interview after the Panthers first Rookie Tournament game, a 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay Sunday night, Weber was ecstatic about the team playing as a group.
"The 18 guys and two goalies set the tone for the Florida Panthers," said Weber. "The players did a great job representing the "red and the cat"".
While Weber won't get to coach some of the players in San Antonio, his goal is to get the guys eventually on the Panthers.
Last season as head coach at Rochester, Weber didn't make playoffs, which he says was one of his biggest downfalls.
To get the team off to a good start, the prospects from San Antonio stepped up in different ways Sunday night. Getting different guys to step up at different times is key for the rookies in their competition. He hopes to get the players better everyday, from their time in development camp all the way through the Rookie Tournament.
Panthers Rookie Tournament continues Tuesday at noon versus the Nashville Predators. The San Antonio Rampage season begins Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m. at Texas.

The fourth national prescription drug take-back day is set for Saturday in communities throughout the area.
The Drug Enforcement Administration began the national program as a safe way to dispose of expired prescription medicine. Nearly 500 tons of unwanted prescription medicine was turned in during the past three years across the country. The amount was 9,258 pounds in West Virginia alone last year.
The program is a great way for residents to look into medicine cabinets throughout the house, and especially their parents' houses, and collect old bottles of prescription medicine.
Locally, drugs will be accepted in Washington County at the Belpre Senior Center, the corner of Second and Putnam Streets in Marietta, White Oak Pharmacy in Barlow, Fort Frye High School, Buckeye Hills Area Agency on Aging, the Devola Medical Center and in Williamstown, at the Williamstown Fire Department.
Flushing the drugs down the toilet or placing in the garbage to be taken to a landfill is not environmentally safe.
Many people hold onto bottles of expired prescription medicine believing they can self-medicate if the symptoms return in the future. That can be extremely dangerous because the older medications may drastically interact with current prescriptions.
Parents with children in the home should take a close look at what drugs are around the house.
Many people have been prescribed painkillers for a bad back or other problems. Those painkillers in the house can be a temptation for illicit drug use by teenagers. There are actually parties where kids throw prescription medicine into a bowl and the drugs are consumed.
Some people may be hesitant to take prescription drugs to a police agency but there is nothing to worry about.
No questions will be asked.
It is better to have the prescription drugs safely disposed than sitting around the house.
The amount of unwanted prescription medicine turned in during previous drug collections speaks volumes about the need for such a program.

It's a wonderful world where overpaid, over-exposed radio personalities can ridicule a disabled baby for fun, fame and profit.
That's what a number of radio personalities did recently when commenting on a baby born in Pakistan with six legs. On this occassion the almost-always-vile Kyle Sandilands was actually outshone in his awfulness by his Sydney colleagues Ryan Fitzgerald and Michael Wipfli. You can read about the investigation – into Sandilands at least – and hear the comments (I'm not going to repeat them but trust me when I say they were awful) here.
I can't boycott the Sydney stations but I can boycott their sister stations in Brisbane – Nova, B105 and Triple M.
Significantly, I doubt if either station would have gotten away with the comments – and probably not even attempted them – if the baby was from Australia (or probably any other western country for that matter). So as well as ill-considered comments about disability I think there's a healthy dose of racism in there too.
It's time to start switiching these idiots off.

To the Library!
Visit the Tappan Fine Art library and pick up a book at random, turn to page 46 or 146 and write down the third complete sentence or the artwork on that page. Take a photo of the book and submit it along with your documentation.
I selected Carpets and Textiles in the Iranian World 1400-1700. It has an unassuming cover and binding, but after taking an introduction to Islamic art class last semester I was eager to see what gems lay inside. On page 146, there is an image of a painting from a Shahnama. The Shahnama is an Iranian epic about the kings of Iran throughout the ages. The third sentence reads, "While such cautions should be observed when studying the treatment of textiles in the great commissioned manuscripts, a change of direction occurred in the mid-16th century in painting, which made it possible to depict dress in greater detail." The rest of the page discusses the development in Iranian painting that lead to the change in convention. Shah Tahmasp disbanded has book atelier (the imperial book making workshop) because his theological attitude became more strict in regards to image making. Many of the artists he once employed found new jobs in Shiraz where they were free to exploring new forms of figural imagery. Some of these new compositions focused on one or two large figures, which allowed the artists to use more details such as textile embellishment.
The name of the book I picked is Unbuilt Roads: 107 Unrealized Projects. On page 46, there is a proposal for an installation and the third sentence reads, "I would like to challenge the hierarchical structure which is placed on the different orifices of the body, the upper orifices being considered more respectable than the lower ones and all the functions related to the lower ones being completely sreened-off and tabooed".

"Problem Properties"– Student helps address violent crime
(Boston Revised 09/01/11) New England Law | Boston: Criminal activity doesn't occur in a vacuum; there are circumstances, and at times specific settings, that make law-breaking more likely. Irresponsible owners can burden communities and even promote violence by choosing to ignore criminal activities on their properties.
Patience Babajide '13 worked as a legal intern with the Boston City Council this summer on legislation that zeros in on locations where illegal activities are regular occurrences. She conducted research and analysis, worked directly with councilors, and helped draft a new Ordinance Regarding Penalties for Chronic Problem Properties, which was approved on July 13.
"The issue of problem properties has received significant attention, given the rise in criminal activity and the high mortality rates in recent years as a result of gun violence," explains Babajide. "Properties where illegal activities routinely take place as a result of the owner's disregard require considerable amounts of police attention and surveillance, and the numerous calls for service have a financial cost. This ordinance imposes penalties on owners unless they take steps to end the activities."
Attending an open city council hearing convinced Babajide that the general public "cares immensely" about this issue. "Problem properties do not stand alone – a rotten apple spoils the barrel. Residents want to and should feel safe where they live; they should not be driven out of their neighborhoods by property owners who create an unsafe environment."
Her efforts were recognized at a council meeting by Councilor Maureen Feeney, whom Babajide worked with on the legislation. Feeney asked the law student to stand and led a round of applause. (A video of the problem properties council meeting is available.)
Over the course of the summer, Babajide has had the opportunity to work directly with most of the 13 councilors on a variety of other projects, including a proposal to change the minimum drop-out age for school-age children; drafting a hearing order regarding concurrent (city and state) police jurisdiction; and an analysis of laws concerning the redistricting of Massachusetts cities and towns, among others.
Babajide, a native of Nigeria, is a member of the Black Law Students Association, the Charles Hamilton Houston Enrichment Program, and the International Law Society. A government career was already in her mind when she began her law studies, and the Career Services Office provided the connection to this summer's internship, which has further defined her goals.
"Following through with my decision to attend law school has absolutely been a move in the right direction," she says. "I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way as a result, and I look forward to experiencing all that the future has in store."

The Carquinez Bridge is actually twin steel cantilever truss structures carrying I-80 across the Carquinez Strait from Vallejo to Crockett in the northeast San Francisco Bay Area. The original bridge was opened to traffic in 1927 and the second structure, which now carries eastbound I-80, was added in 1958.
The 1927 bridge will be replaced with a suspension bridge and the 1958 bridge will be retrofitted to withstand expected seismic loads. Construction will begin with retrofitting the 1958 structure in the fall of 1997 and will be completed with demolition of the existing 1927 bridge in spring of 2002. The suspension bridge is estimated to be open to traffic by November 2001.
For more info check out the Caltrans Carquinez Bridge retrofit page and the I-80 Projects page.
The Benicia-Martinez bridge, which carries I-680 over the Carquinez Strait from Benicia to Martinez, is one of the retrofits that also includes adding additional capacity. The existing 6215 ft. steel deck truss will be extensively retrofit and an additional parallel structure will be constructed. Retrofit of the existing bridge will include hinge retrofit, footing tiedowns, footing enlargement and addition of drilled shafts, cable restrainers, and installation of isolation bearings. The new structure will be a post-tensioned precast segmental bridge, which will add five lanes of traffic capacity.
For more information check out the Benicia-Martinez retrofit page and Caltrans Bridges on San Francisco Bay.
Retrofit of this 6062 ft. suspension bridge near Long Beach, California, includes foundation enlargement, column wraps, bent cap and abutment bolsters and tie rods in the superstructure. Red lead paste is being used as corrosion protection for the suspension cables. Construction began in early 1997.
For more information, check out the Vincent Thomas reftofit page.
The Coronado bridge is approximately two miles long, with steel box girders on the main spans and precast prestressed concrete girders on the approach spans. Retrofit includes installation of isolation bearings, installation of viscous dampers, concrete encasement of columns, strengthening of pile caps, and jacketing of marine pier piles. Murals painted on the approach piers are to be saved, requiring special design considerations in order to adequately strengthen the columns.
For more info see the Coronado Bridge retrofit page and the Coronado Bridge summary page.
The 7.1 mile San Mateo Bridge will be retrofit and widened. The original structure was constructed in 1967 and consists of steel plate girders over the main spans and approximately 5 miles of trestle. Retrofit strategy includes bearing seat extensions, steel column casings, and foundation overlays or drilled shafts for belled pile foundations. The widening will be accomplished by constructing a separate 60 ft wide trestle with precast prestressed girders the full length of the existing trestle.
For more info check out the San Mateo-Hayward retrofit page, the San Mateo - Hayward trestle and the Bridges on San Francisco Bay.
This 21,000 ft. steel truss structure carries I-580 across the San Francisco Bay from Pt. San Quentin in Marin County to Richmond.. The retrofit strategy consists of replacing the west trestles, retrofitting the east and west approaches, and strengthening of the truss foundations, substructures, steel towers, and superstructure. Foundation retrofits will include use of micropiles, as well as drilled shafts as large as 11 ft in diameter. Isolation bearings will be installed, and specifications will be based on the recent work done under HITEC.

Top tips for winter driving
Wednesday 19 December 2012
Winter weather confronts us with the toughest driving conditions. Read on for our complete guide to driving in the colder months.
Prepare your car for winter
1. Ensure your tyres have plenty of tread left on them and are inflated to the pressure specified in your car's handbook.
2. Check your vehicle's coolant level is to the correct level and is the correct proportion of water and antifreeze (normally 50 per cent each), to prevent your engine from freezing solid.
3. Top up your washer bottle with screenwash, which operates to at least minus 20 degrees centigrade. Next, check your wiper blades are in good condition. They shouldn't be brittle or have rips or tears, and leave the window streak-free.
4. Ensure you have an ice scraper, de-icer spray, demister pad or cloth, gloves and torch in the car at all times. We'd also recommend packing spare bulbs for your car's exterior lights, hi-visibility and warm clothing, a tow rope and a charger for your mobile phone. If you live in a rural area you may also want to carry a snow shovel.
5. Consider fitting cold weather tyres. These are becoming more popular in the UK and offer substantially improved grip when the temperature drops below seven degrees. Cold weather tyres including the Michelin Alpin A4, have a high-grip tread pattern and a rubber compound designed to improve stopping power at low temperatures.
Drive safely in snow and ice
1. Check for signs of ice before driving – most modern cars have ice warning lights and temperature gauges. Anything below four degrees centigrade means ice is likely.
2. If conditions are particularly bad then delay your journey and only drive if absolutely necessary.
3. Stopping distances can be ten times longer in snow, so it is necessary to read the road ahead and anticipate your actions well in advance. Avoid minor roads, which are less likely to have been gritted and cleared of snow.
4. A sudden reduction in tyre noise can indicate the car is driving on ice, so take care and slow down, but don't apply the brakes sharply or try and change direction quickly.
5. To get moving in snow, put the car into the highest gear possible and lightly manoeuvre the car back and forth to slowly creep out of the snow. Try to avoid wheelspin, as this will dig the car into the snow
Avoiding skidding
Skidding is often caused by a combination of poor weather conditions and speeding.
1. Leave plenty of room between you and the car in front
2. Drive slowly and carefully
3. Brake steadily before approaching a corner, and well in advance
4. Avoid over-steering and accelerating suddenly mid-turn
If the vehicle loses grip while turning, press the clutch pedal and turn the steering wheel into the direction of the skid. Avoid braking suddenly – this can lock the wheels and prolong the skid.
Some new cars feature safety aids, such as anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) which can reduce the effect of a skid. If these systems trigger you will see a flashing yellow light in the instrument display and may feel the brake pedal pulsating. This is normal, as these systems modulate the brakes at high speed to avoid the wheels locking. We recommend leaving these systems on, however, it may be necessary to turn them off in deep snow when pulling away, as their efforts to quell wheelspin can cut power from the engine to the wheels and stop you from getting going.
Aquaplaning is another type of skid which occurs when the car makes contact with a layer of water or icy slush too fast, causing the tyres to skim across the water rather than the road. If the car aquaplanes, try not to brake hard or steer suddenly. Let the car slow itself, or use engine braking, to reduce speed and regain grip.
What to do if you get caught in a snowdrift
If your car gets stuck in snow and you can't move it, stay in the car, leave the engine running and call for help unless help is visible nearby.
Clear snow away from the exhaust and dig away snow from the tyres and gently rock the car back and forth to gain grip. If that doesn't work, use car mats, bits of wood or anything else nearby and wedge under the tyres to gain grip. Snow socks can provide extra traction in the snow, they need to be fitted when stationary to the driven wheels and can be used at speeds up to 30mph.
Driving on ice
Drive gently in a higher gear to avoid wheelspin, and avoid harsh braking and acceleration. If the car starts to skid, gently ease off the accelerator and avoid braking.
If braking is necessary, pump the brakes gently – don't slam them hard. If your car is equipped with ABS (most new cars are) use it to your advantage. Try to stop in a safe place and call for help.

Cal football fans should experience a pretty good game-day atmosphere during the 2011 season. The ones who can get a ticket, that is.
The university and the Giants announced Monday that they had reached an agreement for the Golden Bears to play their home games at AT&T Park while Memorial Stadium is undergoing renovation and retrofit in 2011. Cal also was considering playing at the Oakland Coliseum and Candlestick Park.
Of the three venues, AT&T Park has by far the smallest football capacity (45,000). Candlestick holds 69,732, while the Coliseum can accommodate 63,132.
But athletic director Sandy Barbour said all of the advantages that AT&T Park provides outweigh the potential for smaller crowds, especially because the move is for only one season.
"You look at all three of the possible venues, and they all had plusses and they all had challenges," Barbour said. "(The smaller capacity) was probably the only significant challenge that AT&T posed. What AT&T has to offer us and our fans in terms of the amenities, in terms of the setting, in terms of being in San Francisco and in terms of serving as a bridge to coming back to Memorial Stadium in 2012, this was the place to come."
Barbour pointed out that AT&T Park can accommodate Cal's 38,000 season-ticket holders. The Coliseum may have been a more viable option were it not home to both the A's and Raiders. That factor made scheduling problematic.
Candlestick Park also was appealing in that it has only one tenant in the 49ers, But that stadium was also the farthest away from campus. That might have made it harder for more fans to get to games, especially Cal students.
"Having our students is very, very important," Barbour said. "It's one of the many reasons we chose this venue."
Without going into specifics, Barbour said the financial models of all three venues were comparable. Cal pays the Giants for use of their facility and then the parties negotiate how all revenues are allotted. It was unclear immediately how the new arrangement would affect ticket prices.
Cal also felt AT&T Park could be used as a marketing vehicle for the renovated Memorial Stadium, which will be upgraded to feature more modern amenities.
"AT&T Park provides phenomenal pregame and postgame activities and opportunities, a beautiful venue located in San Francisco and provides easy access for our East Bay fans," Barbour said.
AT&T Park isn't a new venue for the Bears. Cal beat Miami there in the 2008 Emerald Bowl. Coach Jeff Tedford has gushed about the experience ever since and said he's excited the Bears will be calling the site their second home for a year.
"I'm very, very happy about coming to a place that's so familiar for us after playing here," Tedford said. "It's going to be great for our fans, and I think our kids are going to be get jacked up about playing here."
Giants president Larry Baer, a Cal graduate, said the Giants studied the plans for the new Memorial Stadium and hope to simulate the experience as much as possible at AT&T Park. He also said the configuration for football will be altered so teams can be on opposite sidelines during games. In past games played at AT&T Park, teams shared the same sideline.
"It's really our goal to simulate that experience here in 2011 so Cal fans can take a step forward to what they will experience in 2012 and beyond," Baer said. "We believe we can offer Cal and Cal's fans an intimate experience, a loud experience for football and an exciting experience."
Cal still has two open dates for September 2011 and was waiting on securing a home venue before moving forward. The Bears' Pac-10 home games in 2011 are against Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona and USC.
