My Mommal said to me, how in the world did you get him out of long pants? We had come over for a visit and Gray was wearing SHORTS and a SHORT sleeved shirt! You know Gray, the one with the too shirty shirts and the Aunt Lisa pants. Yes, it was a miracle.
I took a gamble and bought him those shorts, having examined the waistband online and approving their like-Aunt-Lisa-pants-ness, hoping he would at least try them on. He did and he decided they were awesome, so I ordered two more pair just like them, in green and brown. We are set for drama-free dressing for the rest of the summer!
Also, someone asked him what his shirt said and he said "Hola! It means hugs."
I purchase pretty much every single thing Gray wears from Tea Collection. I buy up all their tag-free shirts (hint hint, totally wish they made more that way!) and now I've bought up all the shorts.

The images show a puzzle sold via Ebay in 2012. It was described as variant similar to the Babylon (Tower). This is misleading since the Babylon Tower works with a moving hole while this variant works with moving marbles. It looks like a bigger variant of the Space Massager. Both puzzles share not only the moving marbles but also the rails which go over the top and bottom cupolas.There are 60 marbles in the central column, 30 red and 30 green divided into 12 columns of 5.

A School of the Arts senior who used the "n word" in a tweet about a black junior may be kicked out of school because the junior's mother is a high-ranking official with the Charleston County School District, the senior's lawyer said.
The pending case
School of the Arts senior Ashley Patrick initially was suspended from school for five days, and the district required her case to go to its Office of Student Placement because of the "serious nature of the offense," according to a letter to her from the district.That office, which helps ensure consistency in the penalties for offenses, heard the case but took another five days to let Patrick know its recommendation, which was that she not be allowed to return to School of the Arts. Patrick missed five days of school while the office made its decision.Patrick's mother, Virginia Patrick, and her attorney, Dwayne Green, said they were told by Office of Student Placement staff that they thought the five-day suspension was appropriate, but Lou Martin, the associate superintendent who oversees secondary schools, disagreed and trumped their recommendation. The district's position was that Patrick should be removed from School of the Arts and sent to Twilight, an alternative, computer-based classroom for students with behavior problems. Patrick said Martin told the board that it would be a shame to minority students if she were allowed back.The Patricks hired Green and appealed the office's decision to the constituent school board, which didn't meet for another three days. In total, Patrick was forced to miss 13 days of school.Constituent school boards have the authority to expel or transfer students from schools for crimes or misbehavior. Their decisions can be appealed to the county school board.James Perry Jr., chairman of the constituent school board, said Patrick showed remorse, and his board felt the five-day suspension was a sufficient punishment. Perry said it was unusual that Martin was involved in this case; usually, he said, the board hears from principals or assistant principals.The school district disagreed and appealed the case to the county school board. Patrick has been back at School of the Arts since March 14, and she said she's not gotten into any trouble.Diette Courrégé Casey
District officials consider the tweet a serious act of intimidation, but the 18-year-old senior and her attorney disagree and say they haven't been treated fairly in the controversy. The mother of the junior is an associate superintendent who oversees the district's behavior and disciplinary programs.
The dispute centers on issues of race and a possible conflict of interest, but it has tentacles that touch on the right to free speech, how postings are perceived on social media, and whether the district's punishment fits the offense.
If the district has its way, senior Ashley Patrick will not attend the prom or walk with her class on graduation day. She likely will learn her fate Wednesday.
The problem started in February in a vocal class. Patrick said she was annoyed because the junior was talking during the lesson.
Patrick later tweeted from her iPhone at home that if the junior "makes one more got (sic) damn remark in Roger's class tomorrow … (expletive) will drop." Patrick posted a link to a picture of a young white girl squeezing her eyes shut and crossing her fingers. The text on the photo read "I wish a nigga would," an expression used in urban and hip-hop culture. The phrase can be found in rap songs, comedy sketches and as a Twitter hashtag.
Patrick, who is white, said she didn't think about the fact that the target of her words was black, or that it could be considered racially offensive or threatening. She said she had no intention of hurting the junior, and she has apologized.
A School of the Arts assistant principal decided Patrick would be suspended for five days. District leaders have indicated that's not enough. They characterized her actions as "intimidation" and asked for the strictest penalty possible, equivalent to that of arson or assault.
Patrick and her attorney, Dwayne Green, said her case is being treated differently because of who the junior's mother is — Lisa Herring, the district's associate superintendent for academic and instructional support. Herring is one of the highest-ranking minority leaders in the school district.
"It's an extreme conflict of interest when the daughter of an administrator is involved and a different punishment applies," said Green, who is black.
They said Herring didn't appear to be directly involved in the decisions made in Patrick's case.
Herring wrote an email to The Post and Courier on Friday from her personal email account, stating neither she nor her daughter wanted to be a part of this story.
Superintendent Nancy McGinley refused an interview Monday, but last week she said she was aware of the case but hadn't been involved in it. The case was being handled the same way as any other disciplinary case, she said, and she was concerned then about talking about it because of the privacy rights of the involved students.
She said she was surprised to hear Patrick was considering talking about the incident publicly.
"It's shocking to me (there's) any justification," she said of the tweet.
Top district staff wouldn't answer questions about the incident Monday.
Erica Taylor, the district's executive director of strategy and communications, released a written statement saying the issue was a disciplinary matter involving a minor student, and it was confidential.
"In any case, both federal law and our (district) policy prohibit us from discussing or disclosing information about students without the permission of their parent or guardian," Taylor wrote.
Issue of free speech?
The school district could be violating Patrick's free speech rights unless there was some substantial disruption of the educational environment by that tweet, said Jay Bender, an attorney for the S.C. Press Association. Although the district might contend her tweet in itself was disruptive, Bender said it takes more than the naked statement for it to be considered disruptive.
"They can't just punish a student for speech that the administration doesn't like that occurs off of school grounds," he said.
This appears to be the first case in at least five years in which district officials have pushed for a harsher penalty than what the constituent school board wanted. District officials plan to ask the county school board on Wednesday to remove Patrick from School of the Arts.
The district is appealing the decision of the North Charleston (District 4) Constituent School Board, which unanimously agreed that Patrick should be able to return to School of the Arts. All of the members on the constituent school board are black.
Two county school board members, Cindy Bohn Coats and Chris Fraser, said they couldn't remember another case during their tenure in which the district had appealed a constituent school board's decision. Coats joined the board in 2010 while Fraser did so in 2008. If anyone appeals, it's usually students looking for leniency, they said.
Appropriate punishment?
Green said School of the Arts has been under scrutiny for its racial diversity admissions and enrollment figures, so this case is an opportunity for the school district to make an example of someone to show they're either pro-diversity or tough on perceived racial insensitivity.
"But they've had to break their own polices and rules to do so," Green said.
Patrick and Green disagree with the way Patrick's offense has been categorized. The school district described Patrick's actions as the most serious of its three kinds of offenses, a level three.
By definition, level three offenses are when the students' actions either meet the criteria for criminal conduct or when previous interventions/consequences have become ineffective, according to the district's Code of Conduct. These kinds of violations "significantly disrupt the learning environment or pose a direct and serious threat to the safety of oneself or others," according to the district.
Patrick's Feb. 13 tweet from her personal Twitter account at home doesn't fit those criteria, Green said.
"This is a one-time post that they're elevating to criminal conduct," he said.
No police report was filed in the incident.
District leaders want to remove Patrick from School of the Arts and send her to Twilight, an alternative, computer-based classroom for students with behavior problems. Patrick served a five-day suspension and has been back at school since March 14 without incident, she said.
Social media
Patrick had changed her Twitter profile settings to private, which meant she had to approve anyone who followed her. She didn't realize that the junior had started following her when her account was public.
Privacy settings don't affect the fact that posts on social media are considered a form of publishing, said Von Bakanic, an associate professor of sociology at the College of Charleston.
"It's kind of like putting it on the front page of the paper," she said. "If you say things about people that are inflammatory or untrue, not only could you get kicked out of school, you could get sued. The lesson here is 'Watch what you post.' "
Bakanic said there's been a learning curve for those posting on social media sites, and teens don't have as much experience with the potential consequences for words.
Parents haven't had enough experience with the technology to warn their children about ramifications for their posts, and they often don't teach social media etiquette, she said. Teens perceive social media interactions as different from those that are face to face, she said.
"We have a cultural lag," she said. "We haven't caught up with our own technology."
The tweet
Patrick can't remember the specifics of what the junior said in class, but she said she felt aggravated. Patrick said she doesn't use the "n word" in conversation, but she'd seen the photo with the word on Instagram, thought it was funny, and tweeted it.
Nothing happened initially, but nine days later, Patrick was called out of class and suspended.
It's not been easy since then, she said. School of the Arts changed her schedule so that she's not in the junior's vocal class. Patrick's new class is mostly freshmen instead of seniors. She earned a spot in All-State Chorus, but her suspension prohibited her from going to the statewide weekend performance. And she's been told she can't go to the prom.
Patrick would be the third member of her family to graduate from School of the Arts. She's been at the school since sixth grade, and she previously attended Ashley River Creative Arts.
"Any senior, their end goal is to walk at graduation, and that's my main concern," Patrick said. "I just want to walk with my class that I've been with for six years, and some since kindergarten."
She's been accepted to the University of South Carolina in Columbia, and she plans to major in exercise science and become a physical therapist.
The day she was suspended, she wrote a letter apologizing to the junior.
"When I wrote this, I did not think about how my words could affect you," she wrote. "I never meant to cause you any fear of being in harm or danger, and I am sorry I have made you feel this way."

In the two years since Steam launched for OS X they got Source to run very fast on it, and they currently have Source games running faster under Linux than they do in Windows.

Tuesday, October 1, 2013
There's no denying that visitors to Charleston embrace all that the Holy City has to offer: its grandeur and allure, its antiquity, the arts district and restaurants with our James Beard award winning chefs. Yet packed horse drawn carriage tours narrated with tantalizing tales of Charleston's lurid past are indicative that visitors relish the dark side as well.
Natives and tourists alike bask in the eerie glow of lamp-lights as the guided tours clomp the pavers, spinning tantalizing tales of pirates, murderers, slavery, gallows, folklore, cannons and ruins. The conclusion would have to be that the blend of holy and unholy is what makes Charleston No. 1.
It didn't surprise me when I heard that the new Bravo produced reality show "Southern Charm" has entered through the back door of the Holy City to capitalize on the Conde Naste generated tide of tourist. With recognition comes growth: new bridges and roads, city beautification, widening river channels, cruise lines vying for ports and larger corporations glance our way. And yes, movie cameras.
Charleston cringes as if responding to nails on a blackboard, painfully aware of what reality shows are. In the guise of reality, these shows eventually go south (pun intended) as they lance wounds of the past and expose the underbellies of it's weak prey, vampirically drinking them dry before moving on to another venue. The wheels are already in motion, yet they squeak with concerns. Needlessly.
One day last spring, I walked the streets of Charleston. It was a beautiful, pleasant spring day. A carriage passed by me, brimming with pamphlet clutching, binoculared tourist. Some leaned and bobbed with cameras trying to catch quick shots of alleys and courtyards as their guide mules clomped by at a quick pace. The mules were obviously aware that they were on the last leg of the jaunt, carrots awaiting.
I tried to envision what they were able to take in within the time span it took them to pass. I viewed the streets with tourist eyes. What speaks to them as they stroll and wheel by in carriages and trolleys? Stately court yards? Cobblestone streets? Avatar worthy oaks dripping with moss tendrils? Meridional architecture fronted with floral laden window boxes?
I lift my tourist glasses to look beyond the obvious. Wisteria and Ivy cling to the colonial brick buildings, concealing its pain. Beneath the heady scented vines and buzzing bees lie jagged scars etched in brick and mortar from the devastating earthquake in 1886. Oddly strewn crosses, disc and S shaped iron works adorn the fronts and sides of the building. Earthquake re-enforcing rods. A scant 23 years earlier cannon balls of the Civil War crumbled the city as well. Not to mention the siege by the British which held Charleston hostage for two years in 1780 or the catastrophic 20th century Hurricane Hugo.
Charleston is revered because of its tenacity, its re-invention, its roots that erupt through the cobblestone to climb the walls of centuries old buildings and then bud them with the heady blossoms of wisteria and jasmine. The scars of Charleston's past will forever pave its future.
The allure is both of joy and pain and its ability to live with both as a city. My guess is that there isn't nor will there ever be a reality show that could conjure up any new revelations about Charleston's past than what the city deals with on a regular basis. One need not go much farther past the slave market or plantation tours to realize that we don't have a whole lot of skeletons rattling in our closets.
I remember going to New Orleans, another city with controversial history. While marveling at the beautiful portico's, window boxes and iron works, I secretly whispered to another tourist about what I glimpsed while passing a Voodoo parlor. I lingered too long admiring the quirkiness of a Tarot house and pretended to shield my eyes as pimps pulled up alongside the curbs to talk to their girls? I experimented with strange food and felt oddly different after I ate wild gator, rattlesnake and frog legs. Whether it is here, Savannah, Ga., New Orleans or the Sphinx in Egypt, my ears are always tickled by the flip side of society.
A friend described a carriage tour she went on while visiting friends in Charleston. "The guide was graphically describing the architecture and history of one of its many fine homes when police cars with sirens and blue lights flashing ascended to an altercation on one of the tour's adjacent "not on your yguide tour list" streets next to them. As the crowds gathered, the guide continued on but the whole carriage group left him for the exciting real life drama unfolding to their right."
Promenaded by hundreds of thousands of people annually, Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter and the Battery lie serenely as the Atlantic licks nearby. Its quiet cannons, silent reminders of war and siege. The slave markets house wares of our blended society, yet cry out its former existence. We humbly, unquestionably buy Sweetgrass baskets from the ladies at their stands.
At night, we grace the halls of the Dock Street Theatre, eat and drink in the award-winning establishments, relish the fanning palmettos and breeze, linger at shop windows displaying magnificent art and finally relax in a city who has come to terms with itself.
Charleston is so much more than the few square miles of historic district. I feel the pride of its resistance and the inertia of its resurgence in its outlying communities as well: standing under the Angel Oak, laughing at the many faces of the Folly River Boat, spying for a quick glimpse of the humongous Dreamliner while passing the Boeing plant, watching formerly abandoned buildings around the city re-gift us with entrepreneurial ventures.
I get plum giddy thinking and watching Charleston dip its toes into industries formerly allocated to larger cities. such as the technical visionary inaugural company of Dig South transitioning itself to forward Charleston in many aspects for entrepreneurial activity and commerce here.
Eyes were turned toward Charleston during its fashion week. Music, arts, festivals and plays leave no lack of want of something to do.
And when I don't want to do anything. Well, I just go kick up some sand on a small stretch of beach. I don't have to be connected to the streets downtown to feel its historical roots beneath me in our outlying neighborhoods, our schools and establishments.
So given the natural and unnatural disasters that the city has withstood, I view its damage from a reality show akin to a flea bite on a River Dog. We are about as much as what you left us with as we are what we were before you came. We will be better off despite you or because of you. What's the worse that can happen? They take a floorboard full of sand back with them?
There are constants and when the tents fold and the director calls it a wrap and folds his chair, I will still marvel as I ascend the beautiful bridge. I will look to the left or right and see the visible signs that I still live in a small city. Thank God for those building ordinances put in place years ago which have helped us abstain from high rises. I will still be able to hobble the cobble on a gas lantern lit ancient city street as St. Michael's Church bells chime melodically. I'll picnic at Marion Square and my relatives' will still come to visit,
The orange barrels will slowly dissipate and be replaced with beautiful Palmettos, Crepe Myrtle and Magnolia trees. The town criers will leave the corners just as they came. Fear and fanaticism will subside and Charleston will do as it always has: Move along, slow like the Edisto and tenacious as the Atlantic. All is well, Charleston, all is well.
And contrary to popular belief piddlin' is not always leisure time. Piddlin' can be anything from bush-hogging a field to snapping a bushel basket of green beans on the front porch. Visit Renae Brabham's website at www.renaebrabham.com.

Rewind 2012: No. 7 - Malware may k.o. web access for thousands
Malicious software could have cut Internet access
UPDATED 4:53 PM PST Dec 31, 2012
A warning that malware could leave thousands without Internet access was one of KCRA's most viewed stories in 2012.
The issue began several years ago when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers.
After taking down the hackers, the FBI set up a safety net by bringing in clean Internet servers so that people wouldn't suddenly lose their Internet. That safety net ended at 12:01 a.m. on July 9.
The FBI set up a special website to allow Americans to check if their computer was infected before the cutoff date. Millions would visit the website to make sure their computer wasn't infected with the malware.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - As Mrs. Claus read "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" to the crowd of families who gathered to welcome the holiday season, community members and volunteers dressed as the Whos from Whoville chased The Grinch around as he visited the children who attended the kickoff of the 2012 Christmas in Shepherdstown festivities.
Judy Shepherd, a local volunteer, welcomed everyone as Mrs. Claus while everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of Santa.
Shepherd continued to read from the wall at McMurran Hall while the costumed Grinch played pranks with the children.

Local volunteers Lori Robertson, Rebecca Moore, Rebecca Drewry and Chris Crawford ring in Christmas in Shepherdstown.
"We will have Santa ride in shortly on the firetruck. The little kids will give their Christmas lists to him and take pictures," volunteer Kirsten Dorosh said as she stood in the crowd dressed from head to toe in red and green as one of Santa's helpers.
As Shepherd continued to read, the Whos scattered about telling stories and taking pictures. The Shepherdstown Fire Department held a bonfire and served smores on King Street.
"This is such a great kickoff to the holiday," one of the Whos, Lori Robertson, said.
Friday evening's events were the start of festivities which will continue today and the weekends leading up to Christmas, with events such as luminaries at dusk on German Street and the Christmas bazaar at the War Memorial Building, which will feature locals selling wreaths, crafts and sweets.
In another tradition Friday, the Kiwanis Club of Shepherdstown held its 10th annual chili and cornbread dinner at the War Memorial Building.
Club president Calvin Whittington said the club hosts the event each year on Black Friday as part of Christmas in Shepherdstown.
"We raise about $800 from this event, and serve somewhere around 250 people most times," Whittington said, adding that the money raised goes toward local programs such as the Shepherdstown Daycare and Care Pregnancy Center and additionally toward the Kiwanis International foundation.
"Our international organization is doing a project called 'Eliminate,' to work toward eliminating neo-natal tetanus. We are trying to raise $110 million internationally, and we here are working toward that," Whittington said.

Ex-players' allegations in NFL lawsuit
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, a group of retired NFL players says the league illegally supplied them with painkillers that numbed injuries and led to medical complications. Eight players are named. A look at some of what each alleges:
— JIM MCMAHON: He says he discovered in 2011 or 2012 that he had suffered a broken neck. He believes it happened in 1993 when his legs went numb after a hit. But the lawsuit says team doctors and trainers never told him about it.
— RICHARD DENT: He describes a daily ritual of a team breakfast, followed by the medications needed to get him on the field for practice. Then, according to the lawsuit, he'd take "downers" to sleep.
— JEREMY NEWBERRY: The lawsuit says he was one of as many as 15 San Francisco 49ers routinely lining up, pants down, for anti-inflammatory shot before games. During games, he would simply ask trainers for medications, with no records being kept, according to the lawsuit.
— ROY GREEN: He developed calcium buildups on his Achilles tendons, but doctors and trainers gave him anti-inflammatories rather than surgery, according to the lawsuit. He ultimately demanded surgery, though the lawsuit alleges that the Arizona Cardinals' general manager pushed back.
— J.D. HILL: He was given "uppers, downers, painkillers, you name it," he said in a statement. He said he became homeless and addicted. "Never took a drug in my life, and I became a junkie in the NFL."
— KEITH VAN HORNE: The lawsuit says he received injections of numbing agents and pills — and often wasn't told what they were.
— RON STONE: He tore his thumb while playing with the New York Giants. NFL doctors administered painkillers instead of recommending surgery, the lawsuit says.
— RON PRITCHARD: He says amphetamines were available in jars in the Houston Oilers' locker room.
WASHINGTON — Opening another legal attack on the NFL over the long-term health of its athletes, a group of retired players accused the league in a lawsuit Tuesday of cynically supplying them with powerful painkillers that kept them in the game but led to serious complications down the road.
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, charges the NFL with chasing profits over protecting its players' health. To speed injured athletes' return to the field, the league administered drugs illegally, without obtaining prescriptions or warning of the possible side effects, the plaintiffs contend.
Some football players say they were never told they had broken legs or ankles and were instead fed pills to mask the pain. One says that instead of surgery, he was given anti-inflammatory drugs and excused from practices so he could play in games. Others say that after years of free pills from the NFL, they retired addicted to the painkillers.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, in Atlanta for the league's spring meetings, said: "We have not seen the lawsuit, and our attorneys have not had an opportunity to review it."
The case comes less than a year after the NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of retired players who accused it of concealing the risks of concussions. The athletes blamed dementia and other health problems on the bone-crushing hits that helped lift pro football to new heights of popularity.
The new lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco and names eight players as plaintiffs, including three members of the NFL champion 1985 Chicago Bears: quarterback Jim McMahon, Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent and offensive lineman Keith Van Horne.
More than 500 other former players have signed on to the lawsuit, according to lawyers, who are seeking class-action status for the case. Six of the plaintiffs also took part in the concussion-related litigation, including McMahon and Van Horne.
McMahon says he suffered a broken neck and ankle during his career, but instead of sitting out, he received medication and was pushed back onto the field. Team doctors and trainers never told him about the injuries, according to the lawsuit.
McMahon also became addicted to painkillers, at one point taking more than 100 Percocet pills per month, even in the offseason, the lawsuit says. Team doctors and trainers illegally administered the drugs, the lawsuit alleges, because they didn't get prescriptions, keep records or explain side effects.
Van Horne played an entire season on a broken leg and wasn't told about the injury for five years, "during which time he was fed a constant diet of pills to deal with the pain," the lawsuit says.
"The NFL knew of the debilitating effects of these drugs on all of its players and callously ignored the players' long-term health in its obsession to return them to play," said Steven Silverman, an attorney for the players. His Baltimore firm also represents former National Hockey League players in a concussion-related lawsuit.
Page 2 of 2 - Former offensive lineman Jeremy Newberry retired in 2009 and says that because of the drugs he took while playing, he suffers from kidney failure, high blood pressure and violent headaches.
In the lawsuit, he describes lining up in the San Francisco 49ers' locker room with other players to receive powerful anti-inflammatory injections in their buttocks shortly before kickoff. Newberry played for San Francisco from 1998 to 2006, including one season in which he played in every game but never practiced because of pain from his injuries, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit says other plaintiffs experienced a similar postgame ritual, with trainers handing out painkillers and sleeping aids "to be washed down by beer."

TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Native basketweavers from California and Nevada will gather at the Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City for the 9th annual Basketweavers' Gathering, Sept. 22-Sept. 23, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. This event features Native American weavers and artisans demonstrating the tradition of basket weaving and other traditional arts.
Baskets were once crucial survival tools and sacred tools of worship found in virtually all North American native cultures. Today, the creation of these functional and/or ceremonial containers is a highly stylized art, kept alive by dedicated artists and passed along to successive generations from person to person.
The Gatekeeper's Museum sits on grounds where Washoe people spent their summer-time months since ancient times, and gathered for similar events. The current Washoe Tribe chairperson Wanda Batchelor recently visited the museum and gave it a nod of approval. The Gatekeeper's Museum is also home to the Marion Steinbach Indian Basket Museum, a world-class collection of more than 800 utilitarian and fine baskets from more than 80 tribes throughout California and western North America, including the Washoe. In addition, the museum features the Bogart Washoe Basket Collection of exclusively Washoe baskets.
"The Basketweavers' Gathering presents a rare occasion to gather together with master weavers and artisans from multiple tribes," said executive director Marguerite Sprague. "It's an important opportunity to listen and learn about native history and culture."
Visitors will also enjoy "From Nuts to Soup," a demonstration by Jennifer Bates and Kimberly Stevenot, of processing acorns from the raw nuts to soup using traditional, millennia-old methods.
Native weavers will be selling baskets as well as weaving during the weekend event. Basket appraiser John Rauzy will be on site and, for a small donation to the museum, will appraise the value of baskets brought in by visitors.
A donation of $5 for North Lake Tahoe Historical Society members and $10 for non-members is suggested and includes admission to the museum. Children ages 12 and under are free with an adult.
The North Lake Tahoe Historical Society operates two museums in Tahoe City: Watson Cabin Museum and the Gatekeeper's Museum. For more information, visit northtahoemuseums.org or call 530-583-1762.

Starting center for the Chicago Bulls. An incredible defender in the paint. Grabs tons of boards, and blocks shots, too. Does a lot of things that don't show up in the box score, like tip rebounds and intimidate the opposition. Kinda short for a center, but extremely strong to make up for it. On offense, he can't shoot or post-up, but he can set solid screens and pass suprisingly well. Will take a lot of flak (unfairly, IMO), if the Bulls get swept by the Pistons.

When she re-booted the computer, it worked, but the TV isn't working. I am trying to get a feel for the most likely culprit. Normally, I would just figure the TV itself is damaged. However, the menus for the TV show on the screen. I just don't get a picture. Is the fact that I can still see the menus from the TV an indication that the TV itself may not be the issue? I would have thought that if the screen was damaged such that I can't see a picture, I'd also not see the menus.Log in

I am a plus-sized rack at Wal-Mart kind of guy.
I have no sense of fashion. I cultivate the wrinkled look of either something slept in, or pulled out of the dirty laundry pile after a month and squirted with Febreeze.
Growing up I was a slave to the latest fashion trends.
When bell bottoms became the latest fad in the 60s I looked like a giant church steeple. When four-inch platform shoes were the bomb in the mid-70s I bought some despite my fear of heights. I was the King of the Leisure Suit and wore a powder blue ensemble with a felt blue bowtie.
Thankfully all photographic evidence has been destroyed.
When the disco craze hit I was right there with them wearing shirts that looked better framed and mounted on a wall than they did on me.
Then I got married and found out I had no sense of fashion. Then I had a daughter and found out my wifes best efforts were for naught.
Daddy, you cannot wear socks with sandals.
Why not? Theyre comfortable.
You look like an old man.
My daughter was 9, and whats wrong with looking like an old man?
Okay, I was 35 but those socks were comfortable.
I also found out stripes and plaids were a no-no, and nothing goes with purple.
If it were up to me I would wear the same glasses John Lennon wore, but since my head is the size of a basketball, the little round spectacles dont work.
I also thought going a year without a haircut would be cool, but I looked like a mop-draped basketball so that was out too. Its a good thing nobody found out my real intention and that was to grow my hair long enough to wear a ponytail.
Id seen the original Mutiny on the Bounty with Clark Gable and suddenly I wanted to be a pirate.
When my niece said I looked like Colonel Sanders with my long white hair and goatee, I figured it was time for a haircut and a bucket of Original Recipe. I suffered through a Hawaiian shirt phase as well. Everybody tries to be Jimmy Buffett when they turn 50.
Over the last year I cultivated the khaki and white look, which involved seven pairs of khaki pants and 40 white golf shirts. While not wearing the same clothes every day, I looked like I did.
Most people, though, knew I couldnt survive a meal without dropping a major glob of ketchup, mustard or Thousand Island salad dressing down my shirt so I had to at least change shirts or become a fan of paisley.
Over the winter I went for the college professor look wearing camel hair blazers and dark turtlenecks to offset my white hair and beard. The only thing missing was the pipe and the ability to say something intelligent.
This summer people are going to see a little more color out of me.
Think Monopoly.
Theres Mediterranean grape, St. Charles magenta, Oriental powder blue, St. James peach, Illinois cherry, Marvin Gardens lemon, Pennsylvania lime and Boardwalk blue. Thats a different color golf shirt for every day of the week. I will look like a walking Monopoly board.
A cool idea, but I havent run this one by my daughter yet.
I got it: a walking Monopoly board and socks with sandals.
I can hear my daughter now, Go to jail, directly to jail, do not pass GO and do not collect $200.

, updated December 27, 2012 at 8:42 AM
Look around. Seem familiar?
It's been a while since Buffalo took the brunt of a full-fledged winter storm. The last real blast, in December 2010, caught an array of plow crews flatfooted and stranded motorists in a Thruway no-man's land.
Since then, major winter Nor'easters have skirted Buffalo and dumped their havoc on cities to the east.
The storm that tore up from the southern Plains Wednesday started throwing snow in the city at about 4 p.m., with the City of Buffalo receiving from 12 to 15 inches overnight, city officials reported this morning.
Department of Public Work officials reported most main and secondary roads were open in Buffalo and said crews have begun removing snow from residential streets. Motorists were advised to leave extra time for the morning commute, when traffic will be lighter than normal because schools are closed for the holiday recess.
A winter storm warning that was set to expire at 10 a.m. today was lifted a few hours earlier because the heaviest part of the storm had blown through the region overnight, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Kelly at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport.
Only an inch or two of more snow was expected Thursday with the possibility of some freezing drizzle, but the commute home later this afternoon could present challenges with strong winds picking up, Kelly added.
"We are expecting winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of up to 30 mph and that could cause blowing and drifting snow," Kelly said.
An inch of snow "at best" could fall during the rush hour tonight, he added.
Winds tapered off Wednesday evening, from 25 to 30 mph to about 10 to 15 mph, still high enough to swirl the powder and strain visibility. The strong winds of Wednesday also created a seiche, when water is pushed from one end of shallow Lake Erie to the other.
Wind-driven seiches on the lake usually push water toward Buffalo, but Wednesday's gales lowered the water level here by some 2 feet and lifted it by roughly the same measure in Toledo, Ohio, Weather Service meteorologist Bill Hibbert said.
With snow falling at nearly one inch an hour, motorists crept home after the work day Wednesday. People were injured in wrecks in Buffalo at Main Street and Winspear Avenue and in Cheektowaga near the Walden Galleria.
On the Thruway, a car slid into a ditch near the Williamsville toll barrier, state police said. The Thruway Authority reported several cars off the road along the highway.
With snow falling even faster in the Southern Tier, the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office said there had been many storm-related accidents, and Sheriff Timothy S. Whitcomb advised against unnecessary travel.
At 7 p.m., when the Buffalo airport had 3 inches of snow on the ground, the Cattaraugus County town of Allegany had 10 inches, according to Weather Service data.
Flights into Buffalo airport, meanwhile, were canceled or delayed because of delays at other airports.
"Our main runway is open,'' said C. Douglas Hartmayer, speaking for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
Across the border, Niagara Regional Police reported a 24-year-old man was killed when his snowmobile collided with a van shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday on Regional Road Twenty Four at Tice Road, in the Township of West Lincoln, Ont. The man, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The storm threatened to roll through most of New York State before continuing north toward Maine.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo activated the "State Emergency Operations Center" to monitor the weather and any emergency needs. It was staffed by leaders from an array of agencies, such as the state police, Department of Transportation, Thruway Authority, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, among others.
The Thruway Authority said it would devote its 600 maintenance employees, 96 seven-ton snowplows, 52 front-end loaders and three truck-mounted snow blowers to ensure the system remains open throughout the storm. The DOT committed its 1,346 plows, 300 loaders and 35 snowblowers statewide.
The Governor's Office also urged power companies that operate in New York to brace for the power failures that the storm could trigger. Cuomo had become frustrated by the length of time that power remained out around the New York City metropolitan area after Superstorm Sandy.
One of his top aides, Secretary to the Governor Larry Schwartz, sent a letter to the chief executives of utility companies saying, "The State of New York will hold your company accountable for its performance."
The return of a real winter storm could have been worse. The snow hit on the opening day for Kissing Bridge. And with the National Hockey League season gone dark, thousands of fans didn't venture out to the First Niagara Center for the Sabres game once scheduled for Wednesday evening.
Across the region, plows were expected to rumble along until dawn.
"We will plow continuously until [this morning] at 7 o'clock," Bob Anderson, the Amherst Highway superintendent, said at about 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.
The 35 plows his department devoted to keeping the streets open spent the first hours laying down salt to prevent ice on the roadways, then plowed the snow aside along the approximately 370 center-line miles of road that are the town's responsibility.
"Everything is open, but it's just a constant pounding of snow," Anderson said. "This is a typical winter storm. It is just snowing, snowing, snowing."

Yep, I bought the whole shebang.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
While fans mourn the recent breakup of R.E.M., the band that defined college rock for more than 30 years, Saint Vincent College students are excited about the local music world's newest group – Phineas Gage – comprised of four SVC professors (three current, one former). The group will be the warm-up band for an upcoming Student Government Association-sponsored concert by the Clarks for campus residents. They debuted on campus in April 2010 at a battle of the bands competition and again in December that year. Dr. Michael Rhodes, associate professor of biology and the group's "front man," explained that they had an unusual beginning. "It all started with Guitar Hero," Dr. Rhodes said of the popular video music game. "Mark (Dr. Mark Rivardo, associate professor of psychology) and I are both Saint Vincent alumni with the class of 1993 and have been good friends for almost 20 years. So, when I joined the faculty we started having lunch together on Fridays. During one of these casual lunches, I must have been a little tired, I don't know. But I revealed that I had been playing Guitar Hero the night before just for fun." "On his coffee table," Dr. Rivardo added. "I was doing some stage antics," Dr. Rhodes continued. "He had heard of Guitar Hero and had some family members who had similar systems that don't require much musical ability. I told him how it kind of made me feel younger to do it. And, obviously, I told him about the crazy things I would do while playing, like jumping up on the coffee table and pretending to be a rock star -- and that's when it occurred to us that we could play together." "I played bass in college but hadn't played for years," Dr. Rivardo noted. "Then Mike got me interested in playing again. I started playing Guitar Hero with my niece. Then, my wife and I bought one and started playing together. About a month later I thought to myself I could actually play these songs on my bass instead of on this video game. So, I started learning the songs we were playing and somewhere in there Mike was asked to judge for a battle of the bands on campus. He told us about his experience and about how much he enjoyed it. Then I was talking to Dante (Dr. Dante Mancini, then assistant professor of psychology at Saint Vincent, now at IUP) across the hall and he had played guitar since he was a teenager but probably hadn't picked it up for five or six years. So I said well, how about we all get together and play. Then Chris (Dr. Christopher Oldenburg, associate professor of psychology) overheard us and said he had a keyboard and we started talking about playing together." Another friend, Ron Weaver, was recruited since he played drums. "So, we had a guitar player who was interested, a bass player, a keyboardist, a drummer. But none of us wanted to sing," Dr. Rivardo noted. "Mike told me an interesting story about the first time he sang with his family so he became our vocalist." "So I am not the only vocalist now," Dr. Rhodes added. "I have no musical training whatsoever. The only singing I had ever done was in the shower and that usually was followed by my wife telling me to stop. The first song I ever sang on Guitar Hero was Livin' on Prayer by Bon Jovi. It was a song that had a lot of upper range vocals. Needless to say my family started to play their Guitar Hero instruments and when the vocals started, I started belting it out with all kinds of energy and they all buckled over from laughter. And the rest is basically history. Now the rest of the band members have gotten more comfortable with backup singing which has helped the songs become richer in tone and gives it a whole new sound." The group has chosen songs that they think will appeal to college students. "We want to be entertaining to the students," Dr. Rivardo explained. "They see us in the classroom; they see us in our comfort zone. We have one-on-one time with them but certainly the role we have as musicians is much different. So we want to put on a show and entertain them. But we knew we would have to choose songs that they could at least recognize. It also had to be songs we liked to play. We will have some songs from the 60s, such as Hendrix, and some songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. We are also into today's music." They have performed in their garages regularly and twice before on campus in a battle of the bands competition but this is their first time doing for an all-campus outdoor performance in the stadium. They were invited to play by Student Government Association Executive Board President Renold Sossong who thought the student body would enjoy hearing a faculty band as the warm-up group for the Clark's which is only open to Saint Vincent students. "It took us almost a year to have six songs ready for our first performance," Dr. Rhodes recalled. "But since that time we now have about 14 or 15 songs. We are gelling as a band. It's neat." For their debut, they are planning to play Bill Idol's White Wedding and Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze and a couple surprises for the 30-minute performance. The source of their group's name is another interesting story. "We wanted to come up with a name that would really represent the band members," Dr. Rivardo said. "So we have Dr. Oldenburg, Dr. Mancini, and myself from the psychology department. Mike in biology. The drummer works with Mental Health America. So we wanted to have a bio-psychology related name. So we couldn't come up with something that represented everyone. Chris thought of Phineas Gage while he was mowing the lawn. Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in the 1800s. While doing some work for the railroad company he was trying to clear some rock and had a blasting accident. A tamping rod was shot through his head. He didn't lose consciousness. He lived. He underwent some significant change but it was a really strong case study that integrates psychology and biology." All of the members of the group are from the Westmoreland and Allegheny County areas. Dr. Rhodes lives in Unity Township, Dr. Rivardo and Dr. Oldenburg in Latrobe, Dr. Mancini in Gibsonia and Ron Weaver is from Export. Depending on how they are received, they are hoping to do a digital recording soon and produce a CD. They said they would consider playing a local club if they were invited. "What's nice for us is we get to put on a show for students," Dr. Rivardo noted. "And they rotate through quickly enough that there are always new students here who have not seen us before. So if we play once or twice a year there will always be new students who have not seen us before. It can help keep it fresh. Some of our biggest fans are fellow faculty members."

Ruby Lee Piester
Civic Leadership
Inducted 1996-1997
Ruby Lee Piesters leadership skills through employment and personal involvement in adoption issues resulted in the permanent adoption of an estimated 7,800 foster children in Texas. Approximately half of her 50 years of service to the State of Texas was spent in affiliation with the Edna Gladney Home, first as director of social services, then for 20 years as the executive director.
Her association with various boards and directors of social agencies resulted in the first Child Welfare Advisory Board for Regional Licensing, which was established in Fort Worth for the State Department of Public Welfare. She also organized the Study Committee for the National Council for Adoption.
In 1980 she introduced the model Adoption Act to the Texas State Legislature that was passed to protect the confidentiality of biological mothers of adopted children. In 1991 she helped establish Adopt A Special Kid, Texas, an agency specializing in the adoption of special needs children.
At the national level Mrs. Piester co-founded the National Council for Adoption and served as vice president. She also represented the State of Texas on numerous committees including the Texas Governors Committee to Promote Adoption, the Governors Commission for Children and Youth, the State Advisory Committee on Child Care Facilities and the Texas Association of Licensed Maternity and Adoption Services.
Mrs. Piester developed and implemented new avenues to make permanent adoption for Texas children a reality, and to insure that children are reared with love and hope for the future.

As noted in GAQC Alert #210, HUD recently updated the reporting guidance in Chapter 2 of the HUD Guide. It is effective for audits of entities with fiscal years ending on or after March 31, 2013. However, early application is encouraged. HUD did not include report illustrations in the updated Chapter 2. Instead, HUD asked the AICPA to provide it with updated "clarified" illustrations that are in line with those that will appear in the AICPA Audit Guide, Government Auditing Standards and Circular A-133 Audits (GAS-A133 Guide), for future inclusion in the HUD Guide. The GAQC has been working to develop the HUD report illustrations and submitted them to HUD for its consideration today. The GAQC recommends that you use these clarified reports for your HUD audits until such time that HUD formally issues the report illustrations as an addendum to Chapter 2.
The revised Chapter 2, among other things, reformats the reporting structure and aligns HUD's reporting guidance with the 2011 Government Auditing Standards (also referred to as the Yellow Book) issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and generally accepted auditing standards, issued by the AICPA. The format of the suggested auditor's reporting on internal control and compliance has been aligned to be consistent with the GAS-A133 Guide. That is, in addition to the report on the financial statements, HUD is suggesting one report to meet the requirements of Government Auditing Standards and a separate report that provides an opinion on compliance for each major HUD program and the related reporting on internal control over compliance.
The GAQC has spent considerable time working with our relevant volunteer committees to develop these updated reports and to gain the appropriate feedback and clearance on them. All of the reports issued today have been reviewed by members of the AICPA Auditing Standards Board. Auditors are reminded that they should exercise professional judgment in any situation not specifically addressed in the illustrative reports.
To access the reports issued today and those previously released by the GAQC, go to the GAQC Illustrative Reports Web page and click on the link at the top of the page. This will take you to a new page where all of the clarity reports are stored. Alternatively, use the direct links included below.
The illustrations include a financial statement audit report for a HUD recipient; several illustrations of the reporting to meet the requirements of Government Auditing Standards as it relates to reporting on compliance and other matters at the financial statement level and internal control over financial reporting; and several illustrations of the opinion on compliance for each major HUD program and the related reporting on internal control over compliance.
All reports reflect the requirements of the 2011 edition of Government Auditing Standards and various clarity auditing standards including AU-C section 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements (AICPA, Professional Standards) and AU-C section 265, Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit (AICPA, Professional Standards), and AU-C section 935, Compliance Audits (AICPA, Professional Standards).

synthetic marijuana known as 'spice'has caused at least a half-dozen cases of sudden kidney failure in Oregon and southwest Washington since May, Health officials said Friday.
The agency said experts are analyzing samples to determine what toxin is causing problems. It has also asked doctors across the region to report cases of kidney failure that might be linked to the drug.
"This is not just a bad trip," said Gary Schnabel, executive director of the Oregon Board of Pharmacy, which voted to ban the sale and possession of synthetic cannabis products last year. "We are talking about your kidneys, and you only have two of them."
The six patients requiring hospitalization were from the Portland, Salem and Roseburg areas, as well as Vancouver, Wash. The most recent case occurred in late September.
Five of the patients were 18 or younger, and all were male. Though they have been discharged, they remain at heightened risk for kidney problems later in life.
Spice, which is typically smoked, is a mixture of plant material sprayed with a designer drug similar to THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. It's marketed under street names such as "K2," ''herbal incense" and "potpourri."
A University of Michigan study found that 11.4 percent of high school seniors reported using synthetic marijuana in the past year. There is no such statistic for Oregon.
The manufacturers are generally overseas and unknown, and there are often no ingredients on the package. The Oregon patients bought the illegal drug over-the-counter at places such as convenience stores, gas stations and tobacco shops, said Dr. Katrina Hedberg, the state epidemiologist.
Hedberg also told KATU News that doctors remain baffled about the chemical that is in the synthetic marijuana that causing the havoc.
"We don't have any good idea," she said. "It's a synthetic marijuana. It's composed of some sort of plant product. We don't know what the plant is, sprayed with some sort of chemical, and we don't know what that is. But it's similar to THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana."
"It's very hard to regulate something that's being sold as potpourri," Hedberg told The Associated Press. "Doesn't that sound like something you put in your bathroom that smells nice?"
"It's a clear effort to circumvent the law," she added. "The people who are buying it know what it's intended use is while not explicit."
But law enforcement has taken notice. A federal grand jury in Idaho indicted five people in July on charges they conspired to distribute synthetic marijuana products. As part of the investigation, 14 search warrants were issued at businesses in Idaho, Oregon and southwestern Washington.
Meanwhile, authorities in Wyoming arrested three people in March after several users in the Casper area were hospitalized with kidney failure.
Poison centers nationwide responded to 3,200 calls related to synthetic marijuana or "bath salts" in 2010 and that number soared to more than 13,000 last year, said Jodie Underwood, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in Seattle.
"A teenager thinks it safe because it's being sold in a gas station," Underwood said. "And these products are not for human consumption."
Dr. Sharon Su, a kidney specialist at Legacy Emanuel's Randall Children's Hospital, began treating a 17-year-old boy in August. (Read his firsthand account)
"His kidneys were shutting down," she told KATU News Friday.
The boy admitted he and four friends smoke synthetic marijuana. The boy was the only one of his friends who got sick.
"He was in really bad shape," Su said. "He did not eat for several days. He was in a lot of pain, which is really unusual for kidney failure."
Federal law enforcement does have a good lead on which batch of synthetic marijuana is tainted because of cooperation from the family of the boy Su treated.
"His father said, 'Tell me where it is, and I'll go buy it.' The next day he was able to buy it and bring it back."
Health officials are testing the synthetic marijuana to determine what the chemical is that's causing kidney failure.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP- The Goshen Police District updated its mutual aid agreement with the Sebring Police Department at the regular meeting of township trustees Monday night.
The trustees approved the update to the agreement which hadn't been current since 1999, according to Chief Steve McDaniel. The updated agreement is a standard mutual aid agreement in which both departments provide assistance to the other at no cost.
McDaniel said that he is currently attempting to work out new agreements with the Perry Township Police Department and the Columbiana County Sheriff's Office, both of which have expired agreements. He noted that officers still assist other departments in emergencies even without the current mutual aid agreements.
In other business, the trustees approved the promotion of police officer David Yohman from reserve to part-time effective Dec. 16 and approved the purchase of a 2013 Chevy Tahoe police cruiser from Stratton Chevrolet for $23,270 after trade-in.
The trustees also tabled discussion regarding roof repairs at the Administration Building to further investigate what should be done. Road Foreman Jim Stryffeler provided quotes from two companies for the project which currently includes repair of two sections of flat roof, patching over the gym and resealing the gym windows. Since neither company would be able to start the project soon, according to Stryffeler, the trustees opted to consider the matter a little more.
Also at the meeting, Recycling Coordinator Paul Manypenny reported that the township in 2012 generated 4,560 pounds of material at the scrap drive, 164 tires at the tire drive, 2,583 pounds at the electronic drive, over 6,000 pounds of overflow and $503.83 in aluminum cans.
The year end meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Dec. 28 and the reorganizational meeting for 9 a.m. Jan. 5, both at the Administration Building.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Wildfire safety has improved in the Lake Tahoe Basin in the five years since the Angora fire, but only marginally, according to a report card developed by California Sen. Ted Gaines that was released this week.
Gaines, R-Rocklin, gave fire safety in the basin a "C-" following a media tour through the burn area Monday afternoon. The fire destroyed 3,100 acres and 254 homes in June 2007.
The grade was a result of an analysis by the Senate Office of Research that found 60 of the 90 recommendations made by the bi-state Blue Ribbon Fire Commission following the fire have been implemented.
Approximately 10 of the commission's recommendations are works in progress and about 20 have not been implemented or have statuses that are unclear, according to the analysis.
"There has been progress made but we need to see completion," Gaines said in a statement. "The Commission spent months developing these important recommendations and the people of the Tahoe Basin deserve to see full implementation."

Everyone strives to have a cool and collected morning routine but as we are all know, that isn't always the case. To give myself some much needed time in the morning, I try and prepare my breakfast the night before. Overnight Oats are the perfect way to accomplish that because you can literally make the entire meal before you go to sleep. In honor of fall, I am trying to get pumpkin into just about every meal. This week I made Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats and knowing I had that waiting for me in the fridge when I woke up was a huge incentive to hop out of bed!
The holidays, the most wonderful time of the year! It can be overwhelming and totally frantic but the getting the opportunity to spend time with your family is what makes it all worth it. Although finding new and exciting things to entertain your guest can be a task in itself. This year can be your opportunity to expanded from your traditions and create new experiences with your family.
