'Greatest Show on Surf' kicks off Saturday in San Clemente
SAN CLEMENTE – The big question at this weekend's 37th annual San Clemente Ocean Festival isn't whether there will be surf – there will be. It's whether there will be the right amount of it – not too small, not too big.
"We always want big waves," said race director Barrett Tester, "but not too big waves."
If the surf is tiny, as it was last year for the Saturday lifeguard events, there won't be as much drama for the crowd-favorite dory races, where spectators line the beach and pier to watch lifeguards row boats through the surf, around buoys and back into the surf zone, hoping to avoid spills or collisions.
If the surf is too small, it will be reduced to a flat-water race. If it's too big, the rowers are apt to hold back and try to time their runs for the beach in between sets of waves. Sometimes they succeed. Sometimes they don't.
Surfline.com is forecasting swells Saturday from the south up to 5 or 6 feet, plenty big for exciting dory races, if the forecast holds true. It also should make for exciting paddle and surf-ski races in the festival's California Waterman and Waterwoman Championships, a daylong series of 10 events pitting top male and female lifeguards and multisport athletes against each other, earning points in each race to see who is crowned top waterman and waterwoman at the end of the day.
Sunday's events – open to the general public – are another matter. Tester, the race director, said organizers hope for smaller surf for Sunday's children's surf contest and for ocean events that may draw competitors ages 8 to 80.
"We expect the surf to be a factor both days," Tester said.
Regardless of surf size, there'll be plenty for kids to do on the beach both days. A children's pavilion south of the pier will offer crafts, face-painting, relays and live entertainment, including Saturday performances by Broadway Bound (10 a.m.), Guillobel Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (11 a.m.), Hula Connection (noon) and the band Ugly Paint (1 p.m.).
On Sunday, the kids' pavilion will offer crafts, games, face-painting and a 9 a.m. mini-mermaid parade led by King Neptune and Ariel. Children are invited to dress up for a parade on the beach and pier.
Sunday's pavilion shows include South Coast Conservatory (10 a.m.), more jiu jitsu (11 a.m.) and Rock the Autism (noon).
On Saturday and Sunday mornings, the end of the pier will feature fishing derbies from 6:30 a.m. to noon – Saturday for kids, Sunday for all ages – and a woody car show from 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. both days.
Saturday's event includes a clinic to teach kids the basics of fishing.
Gary and Arlene Button, organizers of the festival's woody exhibit, expect 15 distinct cars each day. One is "a little Australian, what used to be a bread wagon," Gary Button said. "The whole car is about 8 feet long, and the guy bringing it is like 6-foot-3. It's been here once before, but it was several years ago."
If you'd like to photograph the cars in a street setting, the group meets each day of the festival at Carl's Jr. at the south end of town, leaves at 8 a.m., drives up El Camino Real and turns on Avenida Del Mar to head for the pier.
Enter a rubber-duck contest on both days of the festival by picking one or more ducks at $5 apiece for a chance to win prizes.
About 4 p.m. Sunday, the swarm of ducks will be dropped from the pier, and the first ones arriving on shore through the surf will win prizes, the biggest of which include a motorized bicycle, a surfboard and a weekend golfing trip to either Palm Springs or San Diego.
Coordinator Tod Bryant said he expects anywhere between 1,800 and 2,000 ducks in the water. Winners need not be present. They will be notified.
Proceeds benefit the Ocean Festival and its charities.
San Clemente city and state lifeguards will present a skills demonstration at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in three scenarios: swim out from the beach, use a personal watercraft and use a 32-foot rescue boat.
There's something new this year. A new racing event will be a two-person rescue relay at 3:30 pm Saturday, part of the waterman/waterwoman series.

by Ruthie Bolton
Just when you thought you'd become inured to tales of domestic abuse, along comes Gal, a gut-wrenching story of a Charleston, S.C., girl growing up in the '60s, who suffered and survived almost unbelievable trauma. Ruthie Bolton (a pseudonym the author uses to protect her family's privacy) was born to a 13-year-old mother and a father she never knew. By the time she reached her midteens, Ruthie had lost her mother (the woman was murdered by a lover who tied her to a bed, doused her with kerosene and set her on fire). She had also witnessed countless beatings, among them her stepgrandfather attacking her grandmother with a garden hose, and she had been severely beaten herself by the same man.
Like a nonfictional, African-American Bastard Out of Carolina, Dorothy Allison's 1992 best-seller, Gal is an alternately horrifying and uplifting account of survival. Bolton's powerful narrative is simple and unrehearsed. "I don't know who called, but she ended up in the hospital," writes Bolton after a graphic description of her grandmother's final beating. "And...she didn't live long after that. She died."
It is not surprising that such a childhood leads Bolton to a series of petty crimes, violent relationships and unhealthy addictions. What is unusual is Bolton's resilience; how she keeps going after the beatings, after losing custody of her first child, after being abandoned by the women she called sisters.
Readers may be further shocked to learn that Bolton—finally free of her painful beginnings and happily married to a tender, loving man—is the only one in her family to go back and nurse her ailing stepgrandfather until his death, only to be disinherited.
Still, there is nothing in Bolton's tone to suggest that she thinks herself particularly worthy of praise or attention, which may be why she is receiving so much of both. And deservedly so. (Harcourt Brace, $19.95)

As a mother one of the last things I want to experience is a sick child. It is even worse when you can't be the one there to hold and comfort them. Yesterday we received an update saying that the girls have been sick. They both have malaria and dysentery. The girls have been to a clinic and are receiving treatment. I owe much thanks to those responsible for their medical care. We are told they are doing much better and are back at the baby home being loved on. Oh how I wish it were me loving on them. Just 3 more weeks girls, momma is coming.
Malaria is a parasite that reproduces in our red blood cells. It is spread by mosquitos. To help protect us against this disease while in Africa we will be taking malaria pills before, during, and after our trip. We will also be sleeping under mosquito nets to protect us from being bitten. It is seen widespread in sub saharan Africa. It causes fever and vomiting. Dysentery is inflammation of the intestines. It also causes fever and diarrhea. These are both illnesses that are common in this part of the world. Both can be very serious if not treated.
Please pray for the girls as they are recovering. Please pray for their strength to return for they have quite the journey ahead of them.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Welcome back to another edition of "Ask Nick," our weekly Michigan football mailbag.
The holiday-desert edition.
No video this week, as I spent most of Christmas day in the air flying out to Arizona -- but still time to take plenty of your questions for one final time in 2013.
Michigan will go through its Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl "media day" portion of this week's access on Thursday, so we'll have plenty more from Arizona then.
In the meantime, on to a few of this week's questions.
Q: What is the chance that Shane Morris is the quarterback next year and Devin Gardner is a starting wide receiver opposite of (Devin) Funchess? -- Ammo4816
A: While I don't like to ever deal in absolutes, I'd have to think this scenario is extremely unlikely. Extremely. Extremely unlikely.
Three things here:
1) Devin Gardner wants to play quarterback. He wanted to play quarterback last season, and only moved to wide receiver with the idea (and promise) that he'd be on his way back under center the minute the situation presented itself.
He's thrown for nearly 3,000 yards this season, and while he's had his issues with turnovers and a few other small things throughout a bumpy 2013 season, he was still one of the top playmakers in the Big Ten.
People like to dump a lot on Gardner's shoulders, but this whole season hasn't strictly been on him.
2) We still don't know what, exactly, Shane Morris can do right now. Maybe we'll get a sneak peek on Saturday, maybe we won't. But right now, we can't just sit here and give the guy the job before he's ever even made a start.
3) If Gardner is forced to move to wide receiver again, my bet would be that he does so in an NFL training camp -- meaning he leaves school and takes his chances at the next level.
I just cannot see him being OK with moving back to wide receiver after playing a full year at quarterback.
Again, never say never, but I don't see this happening.
Q: How much longer does this coaching staff have to right this ship, that is, to bring the program back to stability, great execution on the field, and wins? -- BlueRoses
A: What were Dave Brandon's words on Brady Hoke last month?
"Brady Hoke is our coach and will be leading our football program well into the future."
We can all sit here and speculate what "well into the future" means, but odds are (at least at the moment), it means more than just one more season.
But this is college football. Everything's fluid. Always. And forever. Nothing is ever absolute. Things are rarely as good as they seem (unless you're Alabama), and they're rarely as bad as they seem.
All that aside, though, I do believe next season is huge for Hoke, his staff and his program. Especially if he does indeed bring back this coaching staff in its entirety and makes no changes.
Next season, the players that suited up as freshmen in 2011 will be seniors. And those players were Hoke's guys, for all intents and purposes.
Some of them were recruited by Rich Rodriguez, but they all ultimately signed with Hoke and have only ever been coached by Hoke's staff. A handful of fifth-year seniors will be left over from the Rodriguez era, but that's it.
That excuse will be long gone. It'll be Hoke's fourth year. He'll have had three years to install systems and put the program through its growing pains.
He doesn't have many excuses that hold water right now as is. But by next season, they'll basically all be gone. The product needs to be more consistent. It needs to be better. They need to start winning.
The defense, which has been a focal point of Hoke and defensive coordinator Greg Mattison since they arrived, will bring back a boatload of starters. All the linebackers will be back. Three of the four defensive backs will return. Jabrill Peppers should be here. The defensive line will return at least six players who saw heavy action this season.
It needs to take off. It needs to click and it needs to work. That's what Hoke wants the identity of this program to be -- defense first. That has to start happening.
So while I can't answer the question of "how long will it take before changes come down," I can say that 2014 will be a huge year for Hoke in terms of general perspective and momentum.
Because, in coaching, once that momentum is gone -- it's nearly impossible to get back. Hoke's lost some momentum from that 11-win 2011 season, but not all of it. A bad year in 2014 and that momentum will be gone.
Probably for good.
Q: Nick, Do you have any idea about how Brady feels about the job Al Borges did in 2013. -- Shadow
A: Hoke's been very quiet on this subject and the general subject of the coaching staff in general.
He said immediately after the season ended that he anticipated his entire staff would be back next season, but also said he'd be going through a review process that would likely extend until after the bowl game is over.
He's consistently put the blame for a five-loss season on the "program" in general, saying everyone made mistakes and everyone is accountable for them.
It's been a mixed bag for Borges. Some games were a nightmare, others broke records.
But the one thing no one can argue is that there has been absolutely zero offensive consistency this season.
In 2011, there were a few hiccups, but for the most part the offense moved the football -- and during the regular season, it improved (basically) week-to-week.
In 2012, again -- some hiccups, but some new life after Devin Gardner took over at quarterback toward the end of the season.
In 2013? Mostly downs with a few ups in between. Nothing in between. Either a spectacular disaster or a jaw-dropping explosion.
The whole team has been inconsistent, and the offense certainly leads the way.
Q: Any idea as to who'll replace Frank Beckmann as the play-by-play voice of Michigan football? -- Henry_Jones_794
A: Another good question, but one we really don't know.
Saturday's Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl will be Frank Beckmann's final game, but his announcement before the season began put IMG and Michigan in a unique position where it can take its time with this type of decision.
My guess? It'll be someone who knows Michigan. Someone who has knowledge of the program. Matt Shepard does a terrific job with Michigan basketball at the moment, I'd have to think he gets a well-earned look.
Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.
Q: What is the main entrée for Christmas? Turkey or Ham? -- Hoke's Head Set
A: Well I spent most of my day traveling, but since I ended Christmas in Phoenix -- I went with a Southwest taste.
Some chicken fajitas.
Not bad.

Sunderland ended their season with a predictable defeat at home to FA Cup finalists Chelsea, but it was events in Birmingham that made the roof come off at the Stadium of Light.
With the final whistle blown, Sunderland fans waited anxiously for confirmation that Aston Villa had beaten Newcastle United to send them down to the Championship. As news filtered through that Newcastle had been relegated, the stadium erupted and Wearside has been celebrating the demise of their neighbours since.
The way Newcastle has been run, it's no surprise that they find themselves in such a mess and the fact that Alan Shearer took them down makes it even more special to Sunderland fans. A banner at Villa Park aimed at the Geordies travelling fans summed it up perfectly: 'Who's your next Messiah - Ant or Dec?'.

Roy E. Swanson
Roy E. Swanson, 80, passed away July 11, 2014, in Alliance, Neb., after a brief illness.
Roy was born February 18, 1934 in Windsor, Colo., – the oldest child of immigrant parents. His father, John E. Swanson, emigrated from Sweden in 1917 at the age of 17. His mother, Grace Marie (Ludeman) Swanson emigrated from Germany in 1929 at age 23. These two people, believing in what we now call the American Dream, successfully raised three children on the Front Range of Colorado. At the end of their lives, they owned 320 acres of prime farmland north of Fort Collins on the I25 corridor.
In October 1957, Roy married Jo Ann Ward and to this union three sons were born. Roy lived on that farm since he was 3-years-old but in 1982 decided to move the farming operation to Box Butte County, Neb., and develop new land. Roy spent his entire life farming and made the major move so that two of his sons, Jim and Steve, could continue in production agriculture. A third son, Clint, flies as a flight engineer for Lynden Air Freight.
During his entire working life, he has been part of a multi-generational family farming operation. He has maintained a close relationship with his three sons and passed on his knowledge of "how things work." He was able to spend a lot of time with grandchildren, greatly enjoying them all. He taught many of them how to drive a "stick shift" and other useful life skills.
During his years in Colorado, Roy gave time and energy to many organizations and was a member of numerous boards: the Soil Conservation District, Larimer County Farm Bureau, Colorado Cattle Feeders, Larimer County 4-H, FFA Advisor, and American Lutheran Church Council. In later years, Roy served as a board member of the Farm and Ranch Museum in Gering, Nebraska, and was an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church.
Roy is survived by wife Jo Ann of Alliance, Neb.; sons James (Kathi) Swanson and Steve Swanson of Alliance, Neb., and Clint (Dawn) Swanson of Wellington, Colo.; grandchildren Kirsten, Sydney, Max, Brett, and Roy Swanson, sister Ann K. Fulton of Springdale, Ark., and brother Robert (Terry) of Lake Oswego, Ore., as well as numerous cousins and many nieces and nephews in the United States, Sweden and Germany.
He was predeceased by his parents and brother-in-law Dick Fulton.
Memorials may be given to Festival of Hope, P.O. Box 377, Scottsbluff, Neb., 69363 or contact Carol at (308) 630-1348 or email@example.com. ❖

The term "mobile marketing" is continually circling the marketing departments of today, and for good reason. Mobile marketing is a surefire way to make sure that you're not just another email that gets deleted before it's opened or another advertisement that someone walks past every once and a while. However, it's still important that a company analyzes what is called a click through rate, or CTR, number. This number will help a company decide whether or not their mobile marketing effort is really working.
Unfortunately, finding this number isn't going to give you all of the answers. You will want to analyze this number and determine where you have the biggest potential. You need to ask yourself: Where is the CTR the highest?
When Mobile Marketing CTR are the Highest
As it turns out, according to data collected from the YP Local Ad Network, there are two instances that actually make a difference: The type of mobile phone and the proximity of the mobile user to the actual business.
The report studied online as well as mobile data from 573 million searches and 10 billion impressions in a Q3 Local Insights Report. As expected, industries such as restaurant and financial services came out on top when it comes to search, but the findings about CTR according to device and location was a bit of a surprise to many. Below outlines the two results:
1. CTR: Apple vs. Android
It certainly seems as though the world is leaning toward Apple technology, but I know that I didn't realize just how much. According to the study, Apple devices saw 47 percent higher CTRs than ads on Android devices.
So why is this the case? It's tough to say. You could make the assumption that Apple is doing something that Android is not in terms of ease of clicking on different ads and messages, or you could make a generalization about the people who own Apple products. In either case, you have no facts.
2. CTR Based on the Proximity to a Business
Interestingly enough, this report also showed that consumers are more likely to click on ads that are for a business between 1 and 2 miles from their location. In this space, users clicked about 1.48x. Once the ads are ten miles away, people were less likely to click and only 1x.
In this case, the results do seem to make sense. If you see your town named in an ad, you're naturally curious to see what it is because you might actually be able to interact. People like to know what is readily available to them in their community, so why not click on the ads? These ads are different than other ads, and they're more personal.
What This Means for Businesses
In terms of the statistics Apple vs. Android, the only thing that companies might want to do is focus on creating an ad that would work well on an Apple product. In most cases this is the same, but it's still certainly something to keep in mind.
As for the statistics about CTR and proximity to business, it's important to keep this in mind and potentially put a city name in the ad if appropriate. It can't hurt the majority of those looking at your ads, but it will help those that are living in your community.

Three men standing trial on charges of murder in the shooting death of a Canyon Country man will appear in October for a pretrial hearing, nearly a year after the slaying occurred on Halloween 2011, according to officials.
Diamonte Jerome McGhee, 18, Eric Michael Edwards, 18, and Branden Travaughn Higgs, who turned 18 last month in jail, are scheduled to appear in court Oct. 11, with the earliest an actual trial could begin about four weeks from that date, said Brad Lieberman, deputy district attorney.
"The case could go within 30 calendar days of Oct. 11, at the earliest, but that's unlikely," Lieberman said. "The case will likely go through some more pretrial preparatory stages."
The three were ordered in July to stand trial for the death of Alejandro Sanchez Torrez.
Torrez was with his 7-year-old son at a Canyon Country strip mall when he tried to come to the aid of a man who was allegedly being robbed by the suspects while arranging to sell them a Nintendo DS game system.
One of the alleged robbers, identified by prosecutors as McGhee, opened fire on both Torrez and the robbery victim. Torrez was killed; the alleged robbery victim, identified by prosecutors as Ricardo Sandoval of Newhall, was shot in the leg and survived.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Midway through an otherwise pleasant spring, various injuries throughout the Mets clubhouse now resemble kindling stacked up like firewood. Each day, manager Terry Collins scratches names off his available roster, attempts to piece together a passable lineup and ponders solutions for a spreading oblique injury epidemic.
"You better believe it's troubling," Collins said. "And we have no answers."
What should have been a positive afternoon – one that featured another encouraging start from Johan Santana – was marred by the glut of ailments. The most pressing: Third baseman David Wright (ribcage stiffness) and lefty specialist Tim Byrdak (irritated left knee) fly to New York tonight for evaluations by team doctors.
Wright has yet to play in Grapefruit League games. Rather than see a doctor here, the team chose to send Wright home to receive what general manager Sandy Alderson called "an ultrasound-guided cortisone shot." Collins still sees the visit as a chance for the doctors to "hopefully give us the go ahead – David's been itching to take some swings."
The injury has limited Wright to merely fielding grounders. He has not thrown or swung a bat in more than a week. Collins termed Wright "real close" to resuming baseball activity.
For Byrdak, who said the trouble in his knee has been steady throughout camp, doctors will try to discern the severity of his condition. Within the organization, there is worry that Byrdak may require surgery, but nothing can be discerned until an MRI today.
The belief is that the injury has been caused by wear-and-tear on Byrdak's 38-year-old frame. He first felt soreness while sitting on his couch this winter.
"There was no injury, no pop, no sudden movement that tweaked it or something like that," Byrdak said. "It's just something that's been nagging around."
Still, Collins believes the reliever will not miss significant time. To him, the rash of injuries is frustrating. The similarity between them is almost maddening. Besides reliever Pedro Beato, who has an inflamed right shoulder, these infirmities all appear to be centered in the players' abdominal core.
Reserve outfielder Scott Hairston experienced the first setback when he strained his left oblique. Since then, Lucas Duda has missed three consecutive games due to back stiffness. Kirk Nieuwenhuis strained his right oblique on Saturday. Infield prospect Reese Havens's persistent back trouble has precluded him from game action.
The pitchers are not immune. Reliever Daniel Herrera has missed time due to issues with his back. Lefty Robert Carson made his spring debut on Saturday after his own oblique strain.
"This didn't happen 20 years ago," Collins said.
The team's training staff suggested that the workload be curtailed, and Collins obliged. The team reduced the number of swings taken during batting practice. During morning stretch yesterday, the players were encouraged to focus on the activity, rather than sleepwalk through it, and prepare their muscles for the day.
The team is even considering limiting clubhouse staples like coffee and Red Bull, though if recent studies suggest caffeinated drinks do not cause dehydration. In short, they are desperate to de-fang the menace facing the modern baseball player.
"I think it's a combination of dehydration," Collins said. "I think it's a combination that they're so strong. And I think it's a combination that they work their butts off."
Inside the clubhouse, those without side trouble are on notice. Asked how his obliques were holding up, outfielder Mike Baxter cracked a smile and knocked on the wooden locker behind him.
"That's a bad word around here," he said.

Federally Subsidized Electric Car Battery Maker Goes Bankrupt
WILMINGTON, DEL.--A123 Systems Inc. (AONE), a maker of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for electric cars, filed for bankruptcy after failing to make a debt payment that was due yesterday. A123, which received a $249.1 million federal grant in 2009 to build a U.S. factory, needed a financial lifeline after struggling with costs from a recall of batteries supplied to Fisker Automotive Inc., the plug-in hybrid luxury carmaker. A123 announced in August that it was working on a deal with Wanxiang Group Corp., China's largest auto-parts maker, for financing in exchange for a majority ownership stake. The company listed assets of $459.8 million and debt of $376 million as of Aug. 31 in Chapter 11 documents filed today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Chapter 11 is the section of the Bankruptcy Code used by companies to reorganize. A123 didn't expect to be on time with an interest payment due yesterday on $143.8 million of notes expiring in 2016, or to make a payment due yesterday on $2.76 million in outstanding 6 percent notes, the Waltham, Massachusetts-based company said yesterday in a regulatory filing.

The Oregon Department of Corrections so mishandled information about a prison escape attempt that the state Justice Department stepped in to order documents be made public.
Corrections officials took two months to make public 23 pages of reports on the 2010 escape attempt, and then admitted repeatedly that they had not revealed the existence of other documents.
The agency also back-tracked after initially asserting it couldn't release information without compromising operations at Snake River Correctional Institution, the state's largest prison. The agency also withheld a disciplinary order against inmate Michael J. Norwood, then released it with redactions and finally released the document unedited – nearly three months after The Oregonian requested it.
The drip, drip, drip of public records underscores the challenge of using the state public records law to monitor government conduct. (A timeline of events shows the serial disclosures.)
Corrections Department officials wouldn't answer specific questions or explain why the agency disobeyed the public records law. Instead, the agency issued a general statement.
"We are putting processes in place to improve in this area," said Betty Bernt, Corrections Department acting communications manager.
On Friday, the agency amplified its comment, explaining that the agency employee working on the matter "was not aware of the scope of the public records request" and "there were records in numerous locations and offices."
The public records law, passed in 1973, ensures citizen access to virtually all government records. Government agencies can declare some records off limits to protect privacy, ensure security, protect informants and other purposes.
"When Oregon adopted the law, it was in response to a national movement for open government after Richard Nixon sullied the White House," said Judson Randall, president of Open Oregon. The nonprofit offers help in using the public records law.
Dave Frohnmayer, former Oregon attorney general and a legislator at the time the law was passed, said the law is meant to be "a tool by which we hold our elected and appointed officials accountable for the integrity of their decisions."
Frohnmayer has seen the law from all sides, including controversies over delayed disclosures at the University of Oregon while he was president.
"Public access to government records is a vital component of a working democracy," Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said in a statement to The Oregonian. "My office has made a number of decisions favoring transparency, such as ordering the public disclosure of information about the results Oregon is getting from tax incentive programs that are intended to create jobs."
Still, public agencies can struggle complying with the law.
Government employees tasked to provide records may have a poor understanding of the law. Finding records on a topic can be a challenge because they may be stored in several locations. The task of searching, government officials point out, competes with time to perform an agency's primary duties.
"Relevant records can be missed. Delays do occur," Rosenblum said. "In these cases it is important to both foster compliance with the law and to hold agencies accountable when their actions unreasonably impede public oversight."
Last October, The Oregonian requested all the documents concerning Norwood's attempt to break out of Snake River, the large medium security prison outside Ontario. He used peanut butter and other items to make a dummy and then fashioned an escape rope out of rolls of dental floss.
The Corrections Department issued a four-sentence press release two days after Norwood was caught. The release only said prison workers had thwarted an escape attempt. The agency never released more details and didn't include any word about another escape attempt the day after Norwood's at the same prison.
The state Public Records and Meetings Manual, issued by the Justice Department, said public agencies usually should provide records within 10 days. Some responses can take "significantly more time" if they are complex, the manual notes.
In the Norwood matter, the Corrections Department didn't release any material until The Oregonian petitioned for the intervention of the Justice Department. On Dec. 31 -- 11 days after the petition -- agency officials provided 23 pages of internal reports and photographs. Most of the records work was done by the staff at Snake River.
A week later, agency officials admitted they had other records they hadn't acknowledged, including more photographs and reports. Under the law, agencies are required to identify material they are withholding and cite the legal basis. The Corrections Department did neither.
When The Oregonian again sought the Justice Department's intervention, corrections officials agreed to turn over more photographs and release additional reports. They also then revealed to the Justice Department that it had another 37 pages of records it hadn't disclosed, including Norwood's account of his attempt.
That revelation prompted the Justice Department to order the Corrections Department to release that material within a week.
Deputy Attorney General Fred Boss, who issued the Jan. 16 order, concluded the Corrections Department didn't fulfill its legal obligation to "make public records available as promptly as it reasonably can."
The Justice Department did back the agency's claim that releasing full details of a security audit would impair prison operations. The agency had released a heavily-redacted version of the review.
Two days after complying with that order, the Corrections Department notified The Oregonian that it had yet another record not turned over. The agency released a recording of the disciplinary hearing that resulted in Norwood's transfer to segregation for 180 days as punishment for his attempt.
"We do everything we can to comply with a public records request," said Mark Nooth, superintendent of the Snake River prison. "The agency does not purposefully hold back information."
Randall of Open Oregon, however, said the agency's conduct was "shameful."
"It's silly for them to be hiding things or responding in a way that is obfuscation and delay," Randall said. "It defeats the purpose of the records law."

The Master's College baseball team needs only three wins to advance to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics World Series for the first time since 2000.
And they don't have to go anywhere to do it.
The Mustangs (40-15) have known for weeks that they're hosting an NAIA regional for the first time in school history, but Monday they found out who'd be joining them on Pete Reese Field May Thursday-Monday.
TMC ranked seventh in the final NAIA poll and is the regional's No. 1 seed.
It is followed in order by Cal State University-San Marcos, San Diego Christian College, Tabor College (Kan.), and Concordia University (Ore.).
"We believe we have one of the toughest regionals in the country. The teams in our regional have good coaching, outstanding players and it should be an exciting opportunity for fans," said TMC head coach Monte Brooks.
TMC will play the winner of Tabor and Concordia at 3 p.m. on Thursday as a part of the double elimination tournament.
It's San Diego Christian and San Marcos however, that the Mustangs are familiar with.
TMC defeated San Diego Christian 8-3 this past weekend in the championship game of the Golden State Athletic Conference tournament.
It was the Mustangs' sixth win in seven games against SDCC this season.
The Mustangs played a high-scoring series with San Marcos in April; the two teams combined for 46 runs with the Mustangs winning two of the three games.
Another team Brooks is familiar with is the 2000 Mustang baseball team, which he coached to a third-place finish at the World Series.
"The 2000 team was very similar to this years' team. We had strong pitching, defense and clutch hitting. But we have more depth on the mound with this group than we did with the 2000 team, specifically relief pitching," Brooks said.
The pitching-rich 2013 Mustangs have accomplished a lot — winning more games than any other team in school history, as well as winning the school's first GSAC regular season title since 2003 and first GSAC tournament title period.
But while they're thankful, they're not finished.
"We're not dwelling on those victories. We received our GSAC champion plaques yesterday, but right after we got them we took extra batting practice and that is what characterizes our team," said TMC designated hitter Joe Riddle. "We're going into this weekend ready to make it to the World Series."

Some quickie stripping on a bench in the city park
Posted by admin on October 31, 2010
A young couple having an argument in the city park… Hmm, seems to be a perfect background for a sexy little flashing shoot – they are way too absorbed by their mutual problem that they will hardly pay any attention to some honey sitting near with her back turned towards them and with her legs spread wide. For them, she is just another walker who's been unlucky enough to take some rest in the place they chose for their private conversation. Still, she's more than just that – approach her from the front and you will see it! She's wearing no panties under her coat and it's perfectly visible!
