Hike through North Star Mine
The Bear Yuba Land Trust's next Treks Through Time will feature a hike at the North Star Mine from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 19.
The moderate hike will feature relics, ruins and remarkable stories through what was once the second largest producer of gold during California's Gold Rush. The mine shut down during World War II after it consolidated with the Empire Mine. It is now owned by Newmont Mining Corporation. The trek will be lead by North Star Mine property manager Jim Simmons and provides the opportunity to hike on private property through one of the most famous mines in the area.
The hike is $12 for land trust members, $17 for not-yet-members. For information or to register, go to www.BearYubaLandTrust.org or call (530) 272-5994, ext. 200.
Anglers, divers can report harvest online
Anglers and divers can now go online to more easily submit their abalone, lobster, salmon, steelhead and sturgeon report cards required by the Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). These report cards provide important harvest data critical to helping fishery scientists better manage these fishing programs.
Reporting requirements for anglers and divers have not changed, but this online submission option makes the reporting faster and easier. By providing harvest details more quickly, fisheries managers can more promptly put the information to use.
Standard mail reporting is still available and can be done through the address printed on the report card.
To report online, just go to DFG's Online License Service (www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/ols/) page and search for your profile by entering your last name, date of birth and ID Number, which can be a driver's license number, a GO ID or other form of identification. When the system finds an exact match, it automatically logs the user on to his profile, where he can purchase a license or complete a harvest report card.
Confirmation numbers will be provided to those who report online, so there will be no need to mail in the report card. Write the number on the report card and retain it for 90 days for survey purposes. Once a report card has been reported, it is no longer valid.
The law requires sport fishing report cards be submitted by Jan. 31 even if divers and anglers were unsuccessful or did not fish at all. Please refer to your report card for specific reporting requirements. For information on harvest reporting requirements, please visit www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/harvestreporting/.
Dept. of Fish and Wildlife partners with International Sportsmens Expo
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will participate in the annual International Sportsman Exposition (ISE) this weekend at Cal Expo in Sacramento. The event is the largest outdoor sportsmens show of its kind in Northern California.
Fisheries and wildlife scientists and game wardens will be available throughout the show to answer questions from the public and provide information regarding fishing and hunting opportunities throughout the state. A full-service license booth will sell licenses, tags and report cards.
CDFW's wildlife officer recruitment trailer will have information for anyone interested in pursuing a career in fish and wildlife enforcement. In addition, there will a free laser shot game in the trailer.
Wildlife officer K-9 detection teams will also be at the show conducting demonstrations in the Sporting Dog Arena. The demonstrations are scheduled: from 2:30 to 3:30 today and 10:30 to 11:30 Sunday.
California wildlife officers featured in the popular television series "Wild Justice" on the National Geographic Channel will be on hand for a presentation in the Adventure Theater from 3:30 to 4:30 Saturday.

Aurora town residents will pay a bit more this year for their garbage and recycling pickup.
The Town Board on Monday night approved a contract extension that carries a 1.8 percent annual increase with Waste Management through 2015.
As a result, residents' unit charge for garbage and recycling will go to $176.52, up from the current $173.40.
The rate increase is locked in for the duration of the contract extension.
In other matters, the board approved a $3,447 change order for work on the Main Street Library's rear porch roof. Grove Roofing Services is the contractor.
The roof restoration was not included in the original project, Supervisor Jolene M. Jeffe said. However, the countywide library system approved the amount as part of a grant for library improvements.
Town officials also signed off on part of the renovation of the Gleed Avenue building now used as the Southside Municipal Center. The town agreed to a $2,423.95 final payment to Allied Mechanical for its portion of the renovations, which also involve other contractors.
• Jeffe expressed concern about the rising cost of Erie County senior citizen lunches that the town provides at the Aurora Senior Center at Oakwood Avenue and King Street.
The price increase is upping the cost of lunches to $3.50 from $2.75, she said.
A lot of residents use the program, so there is concern about the cost increase and the elimination of salads, she said.
• Jeffe announced that Town Historian Rob Goller is continuing to work on updating the town website and is formulating ideas.
• The board will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Jan. 22 on improvements proposed for Water District 6, covering Geneva and Center roads.

The director of the state health department said in a letter Monday that the agency will not waver from enforcing rules that govern how midwives do business in South Carolina.
Meanwhile, about 200 supporters of a local natural-birth center rallied at the College of Charleston Monday to affirm their right to have babies without the presence of a doctor.
Catherine Templeton, director of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, said she expects midwives to follow state law, which is intended protect unborn babies and their mothers. That includes having an "on call" physician close to the birth center in case of a complicated delivery, she said.
State law says, "A physician must be on call and available to provide medical assistance at the birthing center at all times that it is serving the public."
"The agency has simply requested the documentation that shows the midwife clinics are complying with the law," Templeton wrote in a letter to Charleston attorney Laura Evans, who has been hired to represent the South Carolina members of the American Association of Birthing Centers. "This is not a reinterpretation of the law, but enforcing of the law."
The association includes the Charleston Birth Place, whose staff and supporters see no need to call doctors to the center. They say mothers and midwives can decide when they need to go to a hospital. The center is less than five minutes from Trident Hospital in North Charleston.
The Birth Place could lose its license if it does not show proof of contracts with on-call doctors who agree to come to the center when needed. DHEC put the center on notice Saturday that it has 15 days to demonstrate compliance.
Evans, the association's lawyer, interprets the law differently.
Previously, she said, DHEC required only that doctors be available for phone consultations and that it didn't matter how far away they were. "On call" didn't necessarily mean close by, she said.
Part of the problem with the regulation is that it's hard to find doctors in the Upstate who will sign contracts with birth centers, Evans said.
"DHEC had historically allowed a simple telephone conversation," she said.
Evans said she will file an injunction on behalf of her clients on Wednesday if DHEC cannot provide more clarification.
An injunction would allow a judge to interpret state law and how it should be enforced.
About 200 supporters of the Charleston Birth Center rallied at the College of Charleston Monday to protest DHEC's interpretation of the law, and to affirm their right to have babies without the presence of a doctor. They held up signs, took turns speaking and hugged each other in the garden behind the Stern Student Center.
Erin Foushee of West Ashley was holding Sam, who was delivered at the Charleston Birth Place in April 2012, and a hand-lettered sign that said "My body, my birth, my choice." Her husband Matt stood by her side.
"We felt outraged," she said of DHEC's policy on doctors. "Their effort to regulate will just lead more women having their babies at home, and that certainly is not safer than being near a hospital."

Almost 200 people gathered Monday at the College of Charleston's Stern Center garden to support Charleston Birth Place in its conflict with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control over the role of doctors.×

Apple found guilty of infringing on three MobileMedia Ideas patents, damages could be "substantial"
0. phoneArena 13 Dec 2012, 20:22 posted on
A Delaware jury has ruled that Apple infringed on three patents held by MobileMedia Ideas LLC, which is a company formed by Sony, Nokia and MPEG-LA for the express purpose of holding a portfolio of intellectual property; while the damages have yet to be determined, MobileMedia CEO Larry Horn said that the amount should be "substantial"...

should be invalid due to obviousnous?
A. obviousnous is not a word.
B. so does that mean samsung shouldn't have to pay apple since rectangular shape with rounded corners is pretty obvious too?
C. Apple's officially gone off the deep end and power crazy.
2. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
"Apple's defense was that the complaint should be invalid "due to obviousness," but the jury disagreed."
what kind of defense is that? lol
18. dsDoan (Posts: 229; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
That's the kind of defense you should use when a company tries to ban your products because your software icons have "rounded corners."
3. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 13100; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Sounds like a pretty unfair ruling.
9. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
To quote you, on every ruling in favor of Apple, "Companies should protect their intellectual property." Why would this be unfair? Because it's against Apple?
You just say things to incite angry responses. Pure troll. Tone it down and contribute something...

"Apple's defense was that the complaint should be invalid "due to obviousness," but the jury disagreed."
So suing other manufacturers for "rectangle with rounded corners" and "slide to unlock" isn't obvious? Some hypocrites they are.

"due to obviousness"
all their patent almost obviousness and it seems everyone in USPTO just didn't mind at all, Apple even had rounded corner and stylus patent, that even so much biggest obviousness than this in the article.

41. CheapSocks (Posts: 21; Member since: 07 Nov 2012)
These cases shows just how broken the current tech patents systems are. Make these companies prove with their products, NOT THEIR WALLETS, that they deserve the patents. Simple things like rectangular shape with rounded corners, slide to unlock, and the ones mentioned in this article should not have patents. If Apple really wants to compete with Samsung or any other Android OEM, than stop holding back and release a iProduct with the super beefy specs everyone wants, not a unnoticeable upgrade.

As I and some of my fellow anchors here on Allvoices have noted, President Barack Obama and the first lady are praying for the family of Hadiya Pendleton. By now, you are aware of the broad outlines of the tragic murder of this 15-year-old honor student, killed just days after performing at Obama's inauguration. You are also aware, no doubt, that this young girl died less than a mile from the president's own house here in Chicago.
However, you may not be aware that there is a petition circulating among Chicago's black population asking Obama to attend her funeral. The White House is not aware of such a petition. At a recent briefing, Press Secretary Jay Carney said he has heard of no such document. In any event, the White House has not shown any interest in attending the girl's funeral.
This time, however, Chicago's black community is doing more than just seething quietly at the president's continued reticence to do much more than provide symbolic support for his most faithful supporters. Indeed, across black media in Chicago, in barber and beauty shops, at last Wednesday night's prayer meetings in dozens of churches, there is a growing demand that Obama get directly involved in black issues—at least to the same extent he has involved himself in the larger, "all-encompassing" issues of America generally.
Specifically, the demand is that Obama be more responsive to the thousands—yes, thousands—of murders of black youth throughout the country, that he be at least as responsive as he has been to the mounting mass murders of mainly white people. Folks are saying that a good place to start would be right here, right now, in his own neighborhood, with Hadiya Pendelton.
Carney said that the first family's "thoughts and prayers are with the family of Hadiya Pendleton." Nothing more. No announcement heralding any decisive action on the part of the president.
On the other hand, Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy promises to quickly find Hadiya's killer. A reward for information leading to his capture has quickly grown to $25,000 and counting.
The "radical" white Catholic priest Rev. Michael Pfleger, of Chicago's St. Sabina Church on the South Side, has put up $5,000 toward the reward. Speaking directly to the unknown murderer, he did so, he said, because it represents "a bounty out on the head of the killer, before you kill somebody else."
Contradicting earlier reports, McCarthy said Wednesday that, "Every indication points to the fact that none of the individuals in the group were involved in any sort of criminal activity. These were good kids by everything that I learned. ... Wrong place at the wrong time."
The neighborhood where Hadiya was shot does not usually experience much violence. After all, again, it is close to the president's house.
But this killing, unlike almost any other, has raised awareness that lethal violence can and does happen anywhere, everywhere and to anybody within this city.
Again, the police are making all of their usual noises: "Anybody who thinks that this territory belongs to a gang is wrong," McCarthy said. "If I have to put a policeman here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365, we're going to make a point that this territory belongs to the community."
But, again, it is Chicago's black South and West sides that are literally under fire, not the racially mixed North, Northwest and Southeast sides. And black Chicago is asking some rather pointed questions:
If a 15-year-old white female honor student had been murdered near the president's home after performing at his inauguration, wouldn't he attend her funeral?
Wouldn't he appear on television himself, rather than send a surrogate, to express his condolences and offer prayer?
Would it even be necessary to petition the president to come home and see about his own people, his extended Chicago family?
Wouldn't he already have high-level staffers here actually helping and comforting Hadiya's family and assisting with appropriate tributes to her personally?
Wouldn't those same staffers be deep into the logistics of the upcoming funeral itself, making sure of maximum media coverage?
Wouldn't he swoop into Chicago with all manner of plans and programs "targeted" and designed to turn kids away from guns, gangs, and drugs?
And if those plans and programs had no immediate impact, or proved to be of no avail, wouldn't he federalize the Illinois National Guard and finally put a stop to this madness?
These are questions black people in Chicago are asking. They—we—are his rock-solid base of support. As of this writing, though, no answer has been forthcoming.

Getting a good critique from Simon Cowell is rare – but X Factor contestant Rion Paige is no stranger to defying the odds.
Born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a rare disorder that caused a curving of the joints in her wrist, Paige, 13, has grown up always knowing she is different.
"It was hard for me, as a little kid, to see other kids holding microphones and able to move around when we used to go to karaoke places, and I would have to have my mom hold the microphone," Paige, whose first name is pronounced "Ryan," tells PEOPLE.
"I just realized I needed to adapt and I was going to have to do things differently than everybody else."
And learn she did. Cowell called her "literally extraordinary," and compared her to American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, as the Jacksonville, Fla., student breezed through her initial X Factor audition in Charleston, N.C., which aired Wednesday on the Season 3 premiere.
"I had Rion really young," says Paige's mother, Alisa Thompson, 32. "I thought, 'Oh my goodness, this is too much for me to bear. I don't know how I'm going to be able to do this.' I thought she might be introverted because of her difference. And then that baby showed me something different."
Paige is also almost permanently blind in her right eye. She had eight eye surgeries before her second birthday, but her spirit was too strong to deny.
"She didn't walk until she was 2 years old because it was difficult for her to get up straight from the ground without using her hands. But when she did, she ran across the room," says Thompson. "That was Rion. Nothing has held her back in any way."
Paige is hoping her X Factor journey will teach others with disabilities not to be held back either.
"A couple of minutes ago I got this message from this guy with a 3-year-old son with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, and he said I really inspired him," she says. "So just to know that I've already gotten to reach just one person made all the difference."
Paige will now vie for a spot as one of the finalists in the girls category against all the female solo acts under 25.
"[My hands] are something that I have to deal with every day. People can look at me and say, 'Oh, her hands are different,' but it is not who I am," Paige says. "I'm not the girl with the hands. I'm Rion."
X Factor's Most-Inspiring Singer This Season Could Be Rion Paige

BayPay Event - Loyalty Programs, Coupons and Mobility - January 17, 2013 - Palo Alto, CA
The BayPay Forum
Thursday, January 17, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Dear BayPay Members,
Now that we are almost all "mobilized" and always on, many companies are focusing on bringing traffic to merchants. Customer engagement becomes the key word and the companies that will find the secret of making it work consistently and who can scale will be highly rewarded.
For this first BayPay event of the year 2013, we have invited executives from several emerging companies who are focusing their business on providing to small merchants affordable solutions while building at the same time a consumer community they can bring to merchants to negotiate better deals for their consumer crowd.
For this event, we will be hosted by our sponsor Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati in Palo Alto, California.
We will start by presentations of these companies to get a grasp of their brilliant vision, their successes and maybe challenges and how they solve the infamous chicken & egg problem that more often than not slows down the growth of most payment and commerce startups. We will end the session with a Q&A session with the audience.
Bring your business cards, as there will be time to network prior to and following the focused discussion.
To check the speakers bios and the attendee list, click here.
We are waiting for a few confirmations but we have already confirmed for you:
Mani Kulasooriya, CEO of Leapset
Ken Fenyo, CEO of You.Net
Jason Gardner, CEO of Marqeta
John Hennessy, SVP of Mobeam
This event is sponsored by:

The BayPay Forum
If you are a member of the payment industry, you are invited to join BayPay, a networking group of the Silicon Valley focused on payments and composed exclusively of members in the payment community or investors in this area. If you are not yet a member and would like to join, reply to this email to get your free membership with a quick description on how you fit in the payment industry. Even after all these years, the payments industry is still expanding in both mature and emerging markets worldwide as the industry adapts to new market opportunities. New technologies including contactless cards, cell phone integration, biometrics, RFID and strong authentication are emerging and potentially creating new challenges for both financial institutions and their customers. Prepaid cards, gift cards, new forms of payment like PayPal, are all vivid demonstrations of the vibrancy of new thinking in the payments industry. With wireless ubiquity now essentially a reality, transaction aggregation and micro payments become a necessity. As the financial industry and merchants provide more and more services online, phishing emerges as a problem that requires more education and communication with consumers.
Objective BayPay's primary goal is to provide a face-to-face professional networking forum for the regular exchange of views on these issues among active professionals within the payments industry who are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. An online BayPay group on Yahoo! provides opportunities for members to interact among themselves between regular face-to-face meetings.
BayPay Is a joint initiative of Glenbrook, Edgar Dunn & Company and Daniel Chatelain from QSecure, Inc. that is open to other companies or individuals contributions.
Membership To ensure an appropriate level of professional participation, membership in BayPay group is by invitation only. BayPay members invite others to join based upon their own judgment as to who could best contribute to the group. To subscribe please go here.

Patricia Barber
Rating: 3 stars
You can't say singer/pianist/songwriter Patricia Barber can do no wrong. No jazz singer has ever been more inappropriate for a disc of songs by and for Cole Porter than the singer whose neo-Kerouac, post-Waitsian lyrics and sonic explorations occupy a pop jazz stream of consciousness all her own. But it was such a huge mistake – such a total misunderstanding of her own gifts – that it was almost endearing, especially indicating so much ambition.
Her mature voice has a lot more vibrato and presence than it used to. If, in fact, you felt the necessity of comparing someone to Joni Mitchell or Ricki Lee Jones, Barber, on a much lower level, is probably closer than most.
Try "The Wind Song:" "Time may suddenly slip/the present may disappear/like the wake of a ship/the thing itself no longer here/ somehow sweetly alive/these ghosts that I inhale/the moon and I survive/ while the dearly dead prevail."
Ambition, she's got. Would you believe using a fellowship to write a song cycle based on Ovid's "Metamorophosis?" This, then, is her least ambitious disc in a while and all the better for being so. (Even so, prepare yourself for a tossed-off reference to Werner Heisenberg.) In her own territory – not Porter's or Ovid's – she's often rather stunning.

Boston's Dopapod is a road animal – a band that exists to play live, to tour and to grow collectively through constant performance. Bands like this – OK, most people call them jam-bands, which just plain doesn't quite cover it, but whatever – don't always excel in the recording studio, where the vibe that can make a live show transcendent is often very difficult to summon. Dopapod happily shatters such a notion with this new studio album, "Redivider," follow-up to 2011's excellent "Drawn Onward." Like peers Umphrey's McGee did with last year's "Death by Stereo," Dopapod has managed to distill its onstage awesomeness in the recording studio this time around.
Unquestionably, Dopapod boasts significant musical virtuosity. The four musicians are all serious players in their own right, and their ability to coalesce around supple grooves and build them into often staggering ensemble improvisations places the relatively young band among the best of the best. Those capabilities are certainly present throughout "Redivider," but in this case, it's the power of the compositions – whether they be a prog-pop opus like "Braindead," or a more esoteric multimovement burner a la "My Elephant Vs. Your Elephant" – that oversees the heavy lifting.
At first blush, it's guitarist Rob Compa who is intent on stealing the show here. His playing is thrilling and highly original, at times suggesting some sort of cross-hybrid culled from the styles of Larry Carlton with Steely Dan and Alex Lifeson with Rush. Compa's playing on "Braindead" and "Bubble Brain" alone is enough to earn him the accolades of six-string fetishists like yours truly, so confident is its approach and eloquent its note choice.
That said, repeated listenings to "Redivider" reveal the true depth of Dopapod's rhythm section – a frankly funky two-headed, four-armed beast comprised of bassist Chuck Jones and drummer Neil Evans. These guys keep things danceable, even when they're excitably messing with the time signature and bending the collective dynamic to their (apparently considerable) will.
And then there's keyboardist Eli Winderman, a multi-idiomatic powerhouse of a player who can blast out organ solos like a Blue Note veteran or get good and weird on the micro-synth with equal facility and conviction.
Here, all the pieces add up to something incredibly special. Dopapod is one of the most exciting live acts extant; Happily, "Redivider" more than lives up to that in-concert reputation. Grab this – the MP3 version is available for free download via Dopapod.com, where you can also purchase a hard copy of higher resolution recordings with artwork for $10 – and then head to Nietzsche's on Feb. 9, where the band will be performing this material live.

Rock Candy Funk Party
We Want Groove
[J&R Adventures]
Rating: 3½ stars
From its cover art – an homage to Miles Davis' classic funk-jazz double LP "We Want Miles" – to its hour-plus of burning funk grooves and solos set to interstellar overdrive position, the virtuoso supergroup Rock Candy Funk Party's "We Want Groove" is a pure delight.
The brainchild of drummer, producer and Joe Zawinul alum Tal Bergman, RCFP also boasts the abundant skills of guitarist Joe Bonamossa, guitarist Ron DeJesus, bassist Mike Merrit and keyboardist Renato Neto, whose combined resume includes time served with the likes of Prince, Levon Helm, Tito Puente, Scott Henderson, Joe Pass and Black Country Communion.
"We Want Groove" is the sound of these magnificent musicians having a blast – subverting their seemingly limitless chops to the strength of the groove, leaving space for each other, listening closely and engaging in musical dialog, and then going for absolute broke when it's time for them to solo. This is classic funk – think Herbie Hancock's "Thrust," with a dash of the Funky Meters, the first Earth Wind & Fire album, Bootsy Collins, the HeadHunters, and sure, even a subtle nod or two toward Prince.
With the lines between funk, jazz and the jam-band genre being so delightfully blurred at present, RCFP arrives at an opportune moment.

Matt Herskowitz
[Justin Time]
Rating: 3 stars
Matt Herskowitz plays solo piano at a Montreal place called the Jazz Bar and Grill, which judging from what he plays is kind of upscale. Can't he dress up a little? He's pictured in this wrinkly shirt with an open collar.
Luckily his music has more style than his look. Dave Brubeck's "Dziekuje," ethereal and meditative, isn't something you hear that often. Herskowitz explains that Brubeck wrote it as a homage to Chopin, and agrees that all pianists, no matter what their genre, owe Chopin big. Michel Petrucciani's "Cantabile" has a quiet, infectious boogie beat that made me think of Vince Guaraldi.
Herskowitz plays a few originals. One song, a pretty ballad, comes from a musical he wrote based on the life and loves of artist Marc Chagall. Another is "Waltz in Moscow," a dirge-like dance written when he was a contestant in the Tchaikovsky Competition.
Speaking of that competition, he clearly has classical chops. And good taste: A performance he gives of Schumann's famous "Traumerei" isn't as offensive as I worried it would be. Arrangements of Gershwin's "But Not For Me" and "I've Got Rhythm" are inventive and bittersweet. I like how if you listen closely you can hear clinking glasses in the background.

Toyota just hasn't been able to catch a
break in the past few weeks. The company has been faced with loads of
bad press surrounding the accelerator pedals in eight of its most
popular vehicles sold in the U.S., including the best-selling car in
the country: the Camry.
In order to fully grasp the situation
at hand, Toyota (which was prodded by the NHTSA) took the drastic
step of stopping
sales on on the eight models in order to solve the problem.
Luckily, Toyota was able to find
a fix for the problem and dealerships are staying open late in
order to accommodate the influx of customers rushing to have their
vehicles fixed.
To make matters worse, Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood poured
more salt on the wounds earlier this week by stating, "If
anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it. And take it to a
Toyota dealer." LaHood later backtracked from the statements,
adding, "What I said in there was obviously a misstatement. If you
own one of these cars, or if you're in doubt, take it to the
Unfortunately, the damage had already
been done and already worried Toyota owners were sent into a frenzy
over the TV, print, and internet reports parroting LaHood's comments.
And if the past two weeks haven't been
bad enough for the company, there is now bad news in store for its
crown jewel: the 2010 Prius. Toyota posting the following blurb on
its press site regarding the problem:
In certain 2010
model year Prius vehicles, Toyota has received reports that some
customers have experienced inconsistent brake feel when the vehicle
is driven over potholes, bumps or slippery road surfaces.
Toyota is
currently in the process of confirming these reports and
investigating the vehicle driving conditions under which the reported
phenomenon occurs. It would be premature to comment until the
investigation has been completed.
Apparently, the problem lies with an
ABS software glitch that causes less than a second delay between when
braking pressure is first applied and the actual brakes engage. "The
driver steps on the brake, and they do not get as full of a braking
feel as expected," said
a Toyota spokesman to CNN.
According to Toyota officials, the
problem occurs most frequently on bumpy or icy roads.
Toyota said that it fixed the software
problem in Prius vehicles manufactured since January. However, the
company has made no mention of when it plans to apply a fix to the
2010 Prius hybrids produced before January.
Toyota's third-generation Prius has
been a hit around the world. It was the best-selling
vehicle in Japan during 2009 and it trounces
the hybrid competition in U.S. sales on a continual basis. The
Prius' domination is so apparent that Honda engineers/designers are
back to the drawing board -- again -- to develop a hybrid vehicle
that can actually beat the Prius in fuel efficiency.
Toyota is going to have a rough few
months ahead as safety concerns surrounding its vehicles continue to
play out in the media. The company's sales are already suffering --
U.S. sales were down 12 percent (year-over-year) for the Toyota
brand while sales
at rival Ford were up a whopping 24 percent. Up-and-comer Hyundai
saw its sales rise by 24 percent during the same period. February
sales numbers for Toyota will likely be a blood bath.
quote: The '97 Camry was an exercise in decontenting and cost reducing and was an inferior vehicle (IMHO).
quote: The U.S. staff wanted a premium product, according to Hostetter. That meant it had to be wider to allow for the styling and aerodynamic shape they wanted. "That caused Japan heartache because Japan has width restrictions," he says. "So we had two widths of cars — for Japan and for the U.S. We also campaigned for a 3.0-liter V-6. All the competitors were V-6-only or V-6-dominated. So we upgraded the V-6 and had a four-cylinder with balance shafts with good fuel economy and performance."Ishizaka worked to persuade his colleagues in Japan to listen to the American argument. "It was kind of a long, tiring persuasion," the 67-year-old recalls
quote: The result was that Toyota was lifted from a niche player to one that would take the market head-on. The 1992 Camry impressed the competition, even at Ford Motor Co., according to Hostetter, a former Ford man.Ford was still reveling in the success of the Taurus, but "this car shocked Ford," he says, "because quality went up by so much.""It was a difficult price range, but that was where the buyers and market were going," Hostetter says. "That established the Camry brand. It was a hidden secret that this was a Lexus. It even had the hydraulically powered fans that we borrowed from the ES 300. There were some who said the 1992 was too big an improvement and step up. But we wanted to make a total commitment to the car."
quote: I didn't say it wasn't reliable -- just that Toyota really skimped out the overbuilt nature of the previous generation. The reliability was still there, but it was cost reduced to the extreme and it was clearly evident.

Based on a $2.5 million seed round, Peaxy Inc., a software-based data storage and management startup, has begun Series A discussions with a select group of accredited investors. Notable technologist and Silicon Valley visionary, Federico Faggin, is among the top investors and serves as chairman of the board.
"Peaxy's flexible architecture delivers greater operational efficiency to create a powerful total-cost-of-ownership equation. Our all-software HyperfilerTM is hardware-agnostic and simplifies storage and management of data, ranging from single-terabyte to multi-petabyte," said CEO Manuel Terranova, a former senior vice president at General Electric.
Peaxy has assembled a world-class 15-member team with deep-domain expertise in large-scale file systems and product commercialization. An early version of the technology is being evaluated by a select group of Fortune-100 companies. The product is planned for release late 2013.

Practicing Theory: Legal Education for the Twenty-First Century
Larry E. Ribstein (Deceased)
University of Illinois College of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center
March 3, 2011
Iowa Law Review, Vol. 96, pp. 1649-1676, 2011
Illinois Program in Law, Behavior and Social Science Paper No. LBSS11-12
Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers' and law professors' preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.

Who would you rank as our best overall president? Washington, Lincoln, F.D. Roosevelt or other?
I haven't been able to decide yet, but I have it narrowed down to either Lincoln or Other. I rule out Washington because it was his military service rather than his presidential service that is of historical significance. I rule out FDR because his chicken-in-every-pot scheme has backfired and we are all now stuck with an immense big government welfare state.

Considering what in total he had to deal with, Washington was probably the best. But, since history keeps getting rewritten and often changed to meet various agendas, we may never appreciate everything that our forefathers did to give us the greatest country on earth...the question is whether we will just let it be destroyed.

History is so important. I believe there would be fewer laws if only people really understood...politicans would still be representitives...the Constitution would still be alive and well. But alas, we let a few in Washington, D.C. change us all and certainly for the worse.
Washington lived through the over reach of a king and his absolute power...where he, the king, could establish his own laws and rules and taxes w/o the people being represented. He, Washington, fought for us...so that we might never return to that power grab. So that we the people would be protected. No other President had so much and yet had such foresight and courage. We sure could use another Washington but could he be elected...could Lincoln...could Reagan?

There are ways to put term limits in place without them even being part of the vote, other than their citizen vote like anyone else. In fact, there is an organization putting that together as we speak--we'll see what comes of it. Shouldn't stop at term limits though, pensions as well. It's one thing to be a cop and get a pension, you know an actual job, someone who is HIRED to work for the government and that's part of the deal. But we stopped treating ELECTED officials as public servants, and that needs to come back. Even more so at the local level, local governments are full of pension padders. They aren't there for the right reasons.

Weird crime: Law catches up with Meadville man's many marriages
The skinny: A Meadville man's love life landed him in hot water after state police said he was married to too many women.
What we know: Police said the 47-year-old man married a woman at an East Mead Township church after applying for a marriage license at the Crawford County Courthouse in 2005. It was learned recently, however, that the man was still legally married to a woman in another state, and that he had falsified information on his marriage application, police said.
Case update: State police filed charges of bigamy, false swearing and false statements against the man on March 7. He is scheduled to appear in court to face the charges in early April.

A group of Erie County legislators hopes to measure what residents think about County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz's proposed 2013 budget.
The Legislature's five-member Minority Caucus is asking residents to fill out a seven-question survey about the proposal as the Legislature begins a series of budget meetings scheduled for this month.
The survey, which is available online at www.erie.gov/legislature/republican, is an attempt to gauge the reaction to Poloncarz's proposal to increase the county tax rate next year and to identify areas of the budget that residents would support reducing.
The legislators also are distributing paper copies of the survey at public meetings and asking local municipalities to make them available to residents.
Poloncarz has proposed a $1.38 billion budget for 2013 that would raise the county property tax rate 3.4 percent. The proposal would add $18 to a tax bill on a home assessed at $100,000.

BEDFORD - Identifying a Bedford High School cheerleader's uniform was the key that connected an alleged child-sexting case to Pennsylvania, police indicated this week.
On Friday, Bedford Area School District administrators said they weren't aware the case involved one of their students. But Bedford Borough police said they used the Internet and worked with school officials to zero in on a possible victim and turn the case over to state police, who later charged New Jersey native Edward Gutierrez with scores of felonies.
Police said Gutierrez, 38, exchanged sexually explicit text messages and photographs with a 15-year-old area girl until Colorado authorities arrested him in a separate case.
When officers from the Jefferson County, Colo., Child Sex Offender Internet Investigations Unit contacted Bedford police, they had only a series of explicit cellphone photos, one featuring a girl in a blue-and-white Bedford cheerleader's uniform, police said.
Bedford officers searched the Internet for other schools that could have used the uniform, Bedford Police Officer Brett Selapack said Friday.
"There's a million different Bedfords nationwide," Selapack said.
When the search revealed that Pennsylvania's Bedford is the only one to use the colors and emblems seen in the photo, police enlisted high school officials to identify the girl.
"They had undergone a coaching change. ... We didn't have a coach that knew the cheerleader," Selapack said. "Nobody knew this girl."
Selapack said the team frequently changes uniforms, making quick identification more difficult. It was not clear Friday whether the uniform was current or outdated.
Administrators eventually provided an identity, which police forwarded to Colorado investigators. Gutierrez had been arrested there after an Internet sting led him to authorities at a Denver-area restaurant.
Interviewed by Colorado police, the Bedford-area girl acknowledged exchanging sexual texts and photos with Gutierrez after they met last year on Chat Hour, a chat website, police said in an affidavit.
Gutierrez was extradited to Pennsylvania from his New Jersey home this week to face nearly 200 charges of inappropriate contact.
Asked about the case - and the district's response to one of its uniforms appearing in sexual photographs - Bedford Superintendent Allen Sell and Athletic Director Dan Baker said they weren't closely familiar with the situation.
"The image of the school is always a concern," Sell said Friday. "But I can't really comment because I don't know the circumstances in this particular case."
Sell said school administrators across the country are concerned about students' ability to contact strangers on the Internet.
High School Principal Kyle Kane did not return a call seeking comment, and a cheerleading coach's name wasn't available Friday.

A year after Central Cambria finished fourth in the state and Max Kirsch took eighth individually in the PIAA championships, the landscape of area high school golf has changed.
No members of the Altoona Mirror first team will return in 2013. Central Cambria will get back Dom Stevens, Gabe Seymour and Jeremy Eckenrode from its District 6 championship squad.
"Our returning starters are the core of the team and should have a great season," Central Cambria coach Tom Aurandt said. "I also anticipate solid play and breakout performances from several of the other players."
Altoona and Hollidaysburg both return several starters from squads that had above-average seasons a year ago.
In District 5, two-time girls champion Logan Brallier of Everett will attempt to win back her title after Bedford's Kourtney Mortimer took top honors in 2012. Mortimer is one of four starters returning for the Bisons, who finished one stroke away from a District 5 team title last year.
"This is the most talented top-to-bottom team I have seen in my four years," Bedford coach Matt Barkman said. "Having eight players who scored 77-87 in qualifying shows great depth. Losing the District 5 tournament by one stroke last year should fuel our team to do some nice things this season."
The following is a capsulized look at each team in the Mirror's coverage area.
Coach: Erick Kozak, ninth year
Career record: 60-29
League: None
Last years record: 13-6
Returning starters: Trentin Martin, jr.; Thad Zitsch, jr.; Trey Barefoot, so.; Derek Fink, so.
Newcomers: Elijah Dehaven, jr.; J.P. Duffy, fr.; Austin DelBaggio, fr.; Nate Lawhead, fr.; Michael Duffy, fr.; Dylan John, fr.; Billy Ajay, fr.
Strengths: "We have a couple of experienced players who will be able to help the younger players learn what it takes to succeed at the varsity level."
Concerns: "Our top six will have at least two freshmen and possibly more. That will be a challenge for the younger players as they try to compete against some older players."
Overall outlook: "We hope to be competitive in all of our matches and improve as the season progresses."
Assistant Coach: Adam Camberg
Coach: Matt Barkman, fourth year
Career record: 23-17
League: Laurel Highlands Athletic Conference
Last year's record: 7-5, 2-5 in LHAC

Strengths: "Good senior leadership from McDaniel and Straub. Also returning match experience in Bailey Martin and returning District 5 girls champion Kourtney Mortimer."
Concerns: "There are a handful of underclassmen that have shown potential. In order to have a successful season, we will need them to perform well in matches."
Overall outlook: "This is the most talented top-to-bottom team I have seen in my four years. Having eight players who scored 77-87 in qualifying shows great depth. Losing the District 5 tournament by one stroke last year should fuel our team to do some nice things this season."
Assistant coaches: Matthew Bullington
Coach: Galen Claar, first year
Career record: 0-0
League: Inter-County Conference
Last year's record: 5-6, 2-4 in ICC

Newcomers: Derek Swope, so.; Kenna Kerns, fr.; Shannon Abrams, fr.
Strengths: "The returning letterwinners should provide a strong foundation and leadership."
Concerns: "The inexperience of the younger players."
Overall outlook: "With the returning letterwinners, I expect them to play well. Mallory was in the top 10 at districts in girls competition last year, and Adam and Curt have been playing well this summer. If the younger players improve throughout the year, we should be competitive in our league."

No one can question Alison Sweeney's work ethic.
For the past two decades, the actress, who plays fan favorite Sami Brady on NBC's Days of Our Lives, was up at 5 a.m., often clocking 12-hour days five days a week on the show's Burbank set.
And that was just her day job.
Sweeney is also the host of NBC's The Biggest Loser and the author of two novels about show business.
"I've always been willing to work hard," says Sweeney, 37, who is enjoying some rare peace at the home she shares in the Hollywood Hills with her husband, Dave Sanov, and their two kids.
"I love what I do, and I'm passionate about it," the actress reflects as she curls up on the couch to enjoy a glass of red wine.
"I'd want my epitaph to be 'Ali Sweeney: She worked hard.'"
But there comes a time when the grind gets to be too much.
In January Sweeney announced her retirement from Days in order to spend more time with her two children, Ben, 9, and Megan, 5.
On May 23 she shot her final scenes. Since then she's been enjoying a new life as an almost-stay-at-home mom.

text: The Gamaret grape variety was created – along with its sibling, Garanoir – in 1970 by crossing Gamay and Reichensteiner stock. Since then, this red wine grape has enjoyed unparalleled success. As the grapes are highly resistant, they can be left to mature for longer. The resultant wines are of a vivid colour, fruity and spicy, and go well with grilled dishes.

ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. - For a second it looked like Whittell might pull it off.
Garrett Bronken's free throw hit the rim perfectly and rebounded back into his hands, just like he intended. With 8 seconds on the clock and down by two, Bronken turned for the layup right as Incline senior Rob Rubsamen's hand came down on top of the ball and popped it free.
Rubsamen's steal was the final nail in Incline's 46-44 come-from-behind win Tuesday at Whittell. It was a nail-biting final minute, but close games are something Incline is getting used to without their two leading scorers, Orin Porter and Matt Hanna.
"It's going to look like this again. Every game we play is going to look like this," Incline coach Tim Kelly said.
It was a three-point loss to South Tahoe on Friday. It was a two-point win against Whittell on Tuesday. Uncomfortably close games are sure to follow without Porter, who was averaging 20.5 points per game.
But even without Porter and Hanna, Incline still found a way to win Tuesday. New kids stepped up, and the defense toughened up.
"We have great kids. It's never been about those two kids. It will never be about any two kids. It's just about the young men who are here," Kelly said. "We don't think about losing people we just think about the people we have."
The kids that Incline did have on Tuesday got the job done just fine in the second half.
Incline's defense forced 11 Whittell turnovers in a crucial third quarter. Six of those led directly to baskets.
Tommy Thompson and Drew Bessette became a fixture in the Warriors' passing lane. Bessette grabbed four steals and two deflections and Thompson added three steals.
A layup from Jack Bessette gave the Highlanders their first lead of the night, 29-28, halfway through the third. Christian Biscotti followed with a huge 3, and Incline pulled ahead. Biscotti went on to knock down 11 points, going 3-for-5 from 3-point range.
"When Christian Biscotti plays to his potential, we're good," Kelly said.
Biscotti did, and by the end of the third, the Highlanders had outscored Whittell 21-15, and carried a three-point lead into the fourth.
Drew Bessette continued his steal rampage into the fourth, with a coast-to-coast layup that put the Highlanders up 37-36.
The final minutes, however, all came down to free throws, and Jack Clouthier and Thompson came through.
Clouthier, who also led the Highlanders with 12 points, turned in a 3-for-4 free-throw performance in those final minutes. Thompson did the same, and it was the difference in the two-point win.
The win improves Incline to 10-9 overall and 2-2 in Mount Rose League play. Whittell fell to 10-7 overall and 0-4 in league.
While the boys had to fight tooth and nail to get past the Warriors, the Incline girls had little trouble dispatching the hosts in a 48-24 rout.
The Warriors kept the score close through the first quarter, which ended in an 11-11 tie. But Incline took complete control of the Mount Rose League contest with a 14-2 second quarter that gave the Highlanders a commanding 25-13 lead at the half.
Incline, which employs an aggressive full-court press, maintained its defensive intensity after the break, outscoring Whittell 13-6 in the third quarter and 10-5 in the fourth to coast to the 24-point win.
"Before the game we talked about the team that makes the least amount of mistakes is going to win, and we ended with 28 turnovers and 12 fouls," Whittell coach Tom Esposito said. "And Incline had a real good game. They knocked down a bunch of shots, and their press just took us out of our game."
With the win Incline improved to 9-11 overall and 2-2 in the Mount Rose League. Whittell is 8-10 overall and 1-3 in league.
