Your mom is turning 65. She will be receiving Social Security retirement benefits but is very concerned about how to finance her health care. She owns her home, has a limited pension, and with Social Security, will be able to make ends meet but with little money to spare. Will she be eligible for Medicare? Does she need Medigap insurance? Can Medicaid help?
Medicare is the national health insurance program for Social Security recipients who are over 65 or permanently disabled. It is administered by the federal Health Care Financing Administration. Private insurance companies contract with the government to make payments to medical providers.
Medicare is not a welfare program. That is, personal income and assets are not considered in determining an individuals eligibility or benefits. Medicare coverage is similar to the coverage that private insurance companies offer: Medicare pays a portion of the cost of some medical care and the beneficiary the patient assumes the cost of deductibles and the co-payments to healthcare providers.
Medicare has two coverage components Part A and Part B. Part A covers in-patient hospital care, hospice care, in-patient care in a skilled nursing facility, and home health care services. Part B covers medical care and services provided by doctors and other medical practitioners, durable medical equipment and some outpatient care and home health care services. Part A is financed mostly through federal payroll taxes; the majority of beneficiaries do not pay a premium for this coverage. Part B is financed through monthly premiums paid by beneficiaries who choose this coverage and by general revenues from the federal government. Beneficiaries may be required to pay deductibles and make co-payments under both Part A and Part B.
Medicare recipients can choose to receive their health care services through Medicares traditional fee-for-service system or through managed care plans. The fee-for-service system lets patients see any physician who participates in Medicare. Although generally less expensive, managed care plans limit patients to certain doctors and generally require patients to get referrals to specialists from their managed care plan physicians, who may be known as gatekeepers. Some Medicare managed care plans let beneficiaries see a specialist without prior approval, but they charge a premium for that. Generally, beneficiaries who choose a managed care Medicare plan must get all their care through the plan to receive coverage.
Beginning January 1, 1999, Medicare recipients will have additional options for financing their health care coverage under a new Part C of Medicare. Also known as Medicare+Choice, Part C options will include coordinated-care plans, Medical Savings Accounts, and private fee-for-service plans. Beneficiaries will not have to change their current Medicare arrangement, however, and should do so only after study and thought.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance also known as Medigap can help beneficiaries pay for medical care that Medicare does not cover, including deductibles and co-payments. While all Medigap policies must contain basic or "core" benefits, beneficiaries can get additional benefits for higher premiums.
In deciding whether Medigap or supplemental insurance makes sense for your parent, consider your parents current health status and likely future medical needs (as best you can) as well as the policys cost and any restrictions, such as benefit restrictions for pre-existing conditions. Also check for restrictions on the policyholders ability to switch from one policy to another. Before enrolling in any insurance company, check with the insurance commissioner in your parents home state to see if there are unresolved complaints against the company on file.
Medicaid is different. Based on need, it helps pay the medical care for low-income older or disabled people and other individuals, including some with moderate incomes but high health care expenses. Eligibility for Medicaid is based on an applicants income and assets. Medicaid is financed jointly by federal and state governments and, while each state must follow basic eligibility and benefit requirements, significant details vary among states.
Medicaid covers far more nursing home care than Medicare, and pays for custodial and skilled care. It doesnt limit the time a beneficiary can stay in a nursing home or other care facility.
Both Medicare and Medicaid can be a source of funding for long-term home health care, but Medicare covers home health care only if the person is homebound and needs skilled nursing or therapy services.
To apply for Medicare, your parents should contact the nearest Medicare office in their state about three months before their 65th birthday. Those who are receiving Social Security disability benefits also should inquire about Medicare. For more information, contact the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213, or the Health Care Financing Administration at (800) 638-6833, www.hcfa.gov. HCFA publishes the 1997 Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare, Pub. No. HCFA-02110. For Medicaid information, contact the state medical assistance office, often called the State Department of Social Services or Department of Human Services.

ASBURY PARK – One of the favorite memories Nick Clemons, the oldest son of the Bruce Springsteen's legendary saxophonist Clarence Clemons, has of his father did not happen in New Jersey or anywhere close to it.
The son and some of his friends were tagging along with the E Street Band's "Big Man" on some New Year's Eve performances he had in California when his father divulged between gigs that they were en route to the Oakland Coliseum where he would be playing with the Grateful Dead.
"When I first got into the Dead, it was kind of a subversive thing. The other things my dad was doing, like with Bruce, were very much in the mainstream. But even though that was a great sound, I thought of it more like 'work' at that time because it was his job – I didn't feel like I could be myself," said Clemons, 44. "So when we walked into that room in the Coliseum and saw Jerry (Garcia) and Billy (Kreutzmann) sitting there, I realized that not only did my dad approve of that scene – he was a part of it."
Clemons called this one of the "most amazing moments" of his life: "It was one of the moments that brought us closer together, and helped us start growing together as men."
So on Jan. 10, the eve of what would have been his late father's 72nd birthday, Nick Clemons will fittingly be the host of the inaugural "Love Fest" in Asbury Park, which is being promoted as a Grateful Dead dance party with live music, a psychedelic light show, art displays, vendors, food, drink and more.
"Clothing optional," the event's Facebook page reads.
The doors to the event, which is taking place inside the Berkeley Bar on Ocean Avenue, are scheduled to open at 8 p.m. tonight with live music – featuring Bears Choice, Pure Jerry and Random Test beginning at 9 p.m. Tickets to Love Fest are $10 in advance and $15 at the door.
Clemons – whose NCB Productions is producing the event with promoters Level 25 Presents, his long-time friend Andrew Schuman and Peter Mantas, of the Langosta Lounge – said the event is attracting people from all over the country.
"As all of the Baby Boomers mature, that timeless music is being passed down and the kids today are just as passionate about it," Clemons said. "It's not all about partying and the drugs. Now it's really about the music and its roots that people are celebrating – it's ageless."
Love Fest will kick off a busy weekend for Clemons who will be taking part in the "Official Family Celebration of Clarence Clemons Day" on Saturday night at Martell's on the Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, which will help raise money for a pair of Point Pleasant Beach schools.
"It's going to be a very special weekend," Clemons said. "Right now we're all really excited for Love Fest, creating a really great party at the Berkeley Hotel and exposing our area to this wonderful music."

Excellent food and very nice wait staff. I agree with the above comment about paying to park. I will come back there again
Good food, but it's a bother to have to pay to park in their lot. That's Truckee style...
So slow
Slow and the food is mediocre
Homemade English Muffins. Put one in you.
Crab cake sliders!
The peanut butter & banana shakes was amazing, plus the Mac & cheese was yummy!
Find where Guy signed the wall
Kind of slow, but the hash was worth the wait. Husband tried the Blue Crab sandwich and it was awesome.
S-lo-w. I was told a 30 minute wait and as we waited I went to the restroom at which time I counted 7, count them SEVEN open tables in the back. I still waited 20 minutes to be seated. Good food.
Veggie Burger
Excellent for breakfast, the southern fried steak breakfast hit the spot.

Nearly five years after Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey split – a mutual decision after three years of marriage – both stars are officially ready for round two.
Just a week after Lachey, 37, popped the question to longtime girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, 30, whom he began dating in 2006, Simpson's beau, NFL player Eric Johnson, seemingly took a hint.
Johnson, 31, proposed to Simpson, 30, and now she has the ring to prove it.
Timing aside, however, a source tells PEOPLE that Johnson "had been planning the engagement for awhile and the date of the engagement was a special date for them."

We have spend 3 lovely days in Prague and choosing this apartment was a great idea. Excellent location, friendly hosts, clean and convenient. Well equipped kitchen, a bit small and not very comfortable dining table (max 3-4 people). We have recommended this apartment to our friends and they were also very pleased.
Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, wir wurden trotz Verspätung vom Bahnhof mit dem Taxi (kostenlos) abgeholt, da wir eine Mobilnummer hatten. Die Wohnung war im 5. Stock und der Lift war kaputt (manana!). Die Zimmer und die ganze Wohnung ( mindestens 3,50m hoch) sind geräumig und geschmackvoll ausgestattet. Alles hat funktioniert. Die Lage ist für eine Großstadt ruhig (vor allem zum Hof hin, da liegt arbeiten nur Banker) sehr zentral: zu Fuß 5min zum Wenzelsplatz, 10 min zum Nationaltheater, 10 min zum Altstädter Ring. Am Abreisetag wurden wir wieder umsonst zum Bahnhof gebracht, was bei dem einsetzenden Wolkenbruch ein Glück war. Ein Stern Abzug, weil das "King-Size" Bett nur 1,60 Matratze hatte.
Calm and spacious Apartment in the center of Prague. Close to Vegetarian Restaurents. Everything was cleen and in working order.
Great spacious and luminous apartment in the centre of Prague, but not in a busy tourist street so you don't get all the noise. The apartment is just beautifully decorated, the rooms are huge, as well as the nice living room with a big plasma Tv with satellite connection. The beds are really comfortable, and there's lots of towels to use if you want to. The hosts were very helpful and easily accesible. We had a superb time in a stunning city and having chosen this apartment was just the icing of the cake!
Fantastic location, 200 feet from all the main shops in Wenceslas Square, and also from nearest Metro stop and a Tesco for supplies. Very comfortable apartment.
Sehr Gute Lage, direkt neben Metrostation Mustek. Saubere und sehr grosse Wohnung. Nur zu empfehlen!
Kjempeleilighet med 4 store soverom, 2 bad og et toalett. Herlig stueløsning og stort kjøkken. Midt i byen og noe jeg anbefaler på det sterkeste.
Sehr gute Unterkunft, zentral, mit Autoabstellplatz, und sehr nette und gute Betreuung,
immer wieder zu empfehlen

BEDFORD - County commissioners are taking the reassessment process into their own hands, spending the next week or so researching and studying options for the controversial project and possibly coming up with a new target year for fair market values in the county.
The county's first reassessment since 1957, including door-to-door data collecting of the more than 35,000 properties, is nearing the end of its 18-month contract with Tyler Technologies' CLT Appraisal Services. In the past month, commissioners' weekly meetings have become a platform for residents to voice their concerns to the county's leaders.
About 40 people attended Tuesday's meeting, during which Commissioner Gary Ebersole made a motion that the county set 1990 as the target year for comparisons for fair market values. Ebersole said he researched more than 20 counties in and out of the state, comparing their economic development and the year of their most recent reassessment.
In 1990, both Adams and Fulton counties underwent reassessment, said Ebersole, who noted Adams County is similar in size and population to Bedford.
The difference between 1990 and 2008 - where market values are being set currently - is dramatic, Ebersole said, calling Adams County "the center of where we should go with reassessment."
Ebersole told his fellow commissioners, Chairman Michael Herline and Steve Howsare, of his research at Tuesday's meeting.
Neither would approve the motion without further research themselves.
"I'm not going to vote for something I just heard about this morning," Howsare said. "I still feel we're going to wind up with the same sort of spread."
"I appreciate the commissioner's research on issues," Herline said. "I won't be seconding until I'm finished with my research."
Ebersole immediately made a second motion, proposing that the assessment office not send out any more reassessment information to property owners until the commissioners decide upon a year to assign for market values.
All three commissioners agreed.
"I'm totally OK with waiting until we make a determination," Howsare said.
Commissioners told those in attendance that the pause in the process would not affect the ongoing appeal process and that a decision should be made by next week.

PARIS — Cacharel, the French brand known for its spirited contemporary sportswear, has opened a new men's shop here that house founder Jean Bousquet said is emblematic of his desire to rev up that segment of his business.
"Men's has been asleep at Cacharel," said Bousquet as he surveyed the store here at 21 Rue d'Uzes, on the Right Bank. "This store is part of our will to bring it back to life in a strong way."
Earlier this fall, Bousquet inked a licensing deal with B2xX, the Jersey City trading company, to exclusively distribute its men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories in the United States and Canada. He said men's would be a strong priority in the American market, but not with stand-alone stores.
"We want to build all our business in the U.S., particularly the men's," said Bousquet. "We think there's great potential for the brand in the U.S."
In recent years, Cacharel, which has revenues of around $50 million, has had mixed success in energizing its youthful and colorful take on fashion. Earlier this year, for example, the house parted ways with its artistic directors of seven years, Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro, replacing them with 33-year-old Esther Angula. But Angula's stint was short-lived. This month Cacharel hired Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, best known for their print design and fabric development, as its new artistic directors.
Although Clements and Ribeiro's first collections—which were essentially for women, though they also cast an eye on men's—were warmly received, the house struggled with pricing and positioning, especially in overseas markets. Meanwhile, it restructured and tried to liven up its women's business by opening two new stores here.
The new men's store underscores Bousquet's commitment to trying to grow the house, which he founded in 1962. The 2,000-square-foot, loft-like space is located on a street, not far from the Paris Bourse and the Drouot auction house, that has attracted new retail attention. "It's kind of like Soho here," said Bousquet. "It's going to be the next hot location."
Last year, men's designer Stephane Plassier opened a store called Gus on the street, merchandised with fashion, motorcycles and books. Plassier consulted on the Cacharel store and also designed some pieces for the fall/winter '08 collection.
Among Plassier's contributions was the idea of making the store "easy and livable." There will be, for instance, an espresso machine, Internet access and comfortable sofas. Artwork by Jean-Michel Alberola decorates the space. Plassier also insisted on the store using reusable, eco-friendly packaging.
Bousquet has named the store La Chemiserie or "shirt store," in a nod to the first boutiques he opened in the 1960s that were popular in France for their inexpensive liberty-print shirts. But the new store also sells suits, ties and knitwear, all reasonably priced. Suits, for instance, sell for around 300 euros; shirts around 50 euros and sweaters around 60 euros.
"We wanted good quality at a good price," said Bousquet. "We wanted the store to be easy and comfortable to make the shopping experience attractive."
Bousquet said the store should do about 1 million euros in sales in its first year. "It's a pilot," he said. "This store is to get the image and merchandising right."
Bousquet said his ambition is to open another 20 La Chemiserie stores in France in the upcoming years. "I'd like to have three to four in Paris alone," he said.

Another year passes and another UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17) comes by with what seems to be, but can't be, ever greater frequency. The UN mandated day – it's not a holiday or anything – was conceived in 1993 by UN General Assembly Resolution 47/196 with what – until the Millennium summit – were laudable if somewhat fuzzy goals. But world leaders pledged at that summit to cut by half the number of people in extreme poverty – living on less than $1 a day – by 2015. This week the UN Development Programme administrator Helen Clark said that goal looks like being achieved, on target and on time. This is despite Ms Clark's admissio at the G20 in Paris last week that the global economic situation is "grave". That's the "good" news. "It's all because of China's efforts", said Ms Clark who said the runaway economy there had lifted millions and millions out of poverty. "We are seeking ways of linking China's experience with the world," she said. But before you go out looking for signs of a new Foxconn compound to give a quick fix, if brutal, solution to the jobs and housing shortage Ms Clark thinks the solution might lie in greater agricultural production.
Voltaire was said to have rejected the last rites – and renouncing Satan – on his death bed because, as he told the priest, he thought it was no time to be start making enemies. There has been much robust coment about the former Defence Secretary Liam Fox, and rightly so, you might say. But we here are a fair minded bunch and – at a certain stage in life – you take your friends where you find them. Blogger and publisher Iain Dale's website, Dale & Co submitted an FoI request to find out what newspapers and periodicals are purchased for ministers. Among Mr Fox's regular reading is Tribune, fine man that he is. His erstwhile Cabinet colleague Ken Clarke, somewhat less surprisingly, also gets a regular copy. Gentlemen you are valued readers. As Marx (Groucho) said: "I have my principles and if you don't like them I have others."
The judge leading the inquiry into media standards and practices, Lord Leveson, this week held firm to his belief that he does not need the counsel of any tabloid editors or executives – or indeed any bloggers or digital media types – to work out how the mass media in this country goes about its work. The hand-picked panel of experts and great and good should be able to call witnesses as required, he decided, and are sufficiently in touch with the real world. To that end, according to their letters of appointment published on the Inquiry's website, the assessors will be paid £565 a day for their trouble. The inquiry's assessors are Sir David Bell, former chairman of the Financial Times, Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, former Ofcom chairman (Lord) David Currie, former Channel 4 political editor Elinor Goodman, former Daily Telegraph political editor George Jones, and former West Midlands Chief Constable Sir Paul Scott-Lee. All undoubtedly distinguished in their respective fields – and day – but perhaps a little lacking in the robust, rough and ready red top experiences acquired at the more popular end of the market.
The immensely wealthy Justice Minister Jonathan Djanogly was this week finally stripped of his power to regulate claims farms, or so-called ambulance chasers, after Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell was compelled to explore the minister's family connections to at least two such companies, Going Legal and Legal Link Introductory Services. The anomaly had been allowed to persist for some time with Mr Djanogly stonewalling any inquiries from MPs about the likely perceptions of conflict of interest. Responsibility for the industry now lies with Justice Secretary Ken Clarke. A reasonable victory for a diligent opposition, one might think, and goes some way to explaining the sense of grievance displayed by Mr Djanogly over Labour's own "nice little earner" in which visitors to its website are directed to a section that appear to be its own legal services and invited to pursue personal injury claims. They are linked to a Derby firm of solicitors which then pays the party £250 plus VAT for every live lead, or referral. For conveyancing it is a more modest £100.

Standard economic measure of income inequality, based on Lorenz Curve. A society that scores 0.0 on the Gini scale has perfect equality in income distribution. Higher the number over 0 higher the inequality, and the score of 1.0 (or 100) indicates total inequality where only one person corners all the income. It is used also as a measure of other distributional inequalities such as market share. Named after its inventor, the Italian statistician Corrado Gini (1884-1965). Also called Gini coefficient or index of concentration.
Use Gini index in a sentence
I wondered how we ranked on the gini index, because I knew that it was very important and would determine a lot of future choices.
You should try to break down the gini index to find out where the people with the most money live in your city.
Based on its high Gini Index score, economists have determined that the United Arab Emirates has a largely unequal distribution of income among its citizens.

J.Crew (Who?) Expanding in Asia
Different brands stand for different things.
The Gap evokes a certain image. Banana Republic another one. And, Victoria's Secret, quite another one.
But I've always been confused about what J.Crew stood for…either that's a reflection of my socio-economic status and shopping habits or ineffective branding on J.Crew's part.
Anyway, it appears that J.Crew, which counts First Lady, Michelle Obama amongst its fans, is now looking to expand into China and Japan slowly, over the next couple of years.
But how will Chinese consumers react to J.Crew? Not much at all, reading between the lines of a Wall Street Journal article. The first problem of course is that the Chinese luxury market is slowing down. The next thing is that J.Crew is not a well known European luxury brand:

Many people assume seven layer dip is so named because it is a layered dip and John Elway, who played in many Super Bowls, wore number 7. In fact it is because the dip itself has seven layers, each more wonderful than the last. This seven layer dip that Angie made has beef, beans, cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, olives, and sour cream. I know that adds up to more than seven, so you'll just have to put some things on the same layer.
Traditionally, nachos have been a food that teenagers eat because teenagers are the people most OK with eating food from 7-11. Nowadays, with advances in home kitchen technologies, adults can enjoy nachos, too. And enjoy them they do. These nachos that Elizabeth and I made have the advantage of being vegetarian, but you can some meat, too, if you're not already overloaded with meat.
It's time to face facts, you love guacamole more than you are ready to admit. That's fine. Don't admit it. Just go make some guacamole and when the E*Trade baby comes on during the game, instead of silently seething, just zone out and eat chips and guac. This guacamole we made is a cinch to make and always a hit every time we make it.

Castro testified he was in his room, across from his father's room, at the time of the killing on March 22, 2006. As he fell asleep, he said, his mother, Esperanza Castro, knocked on the door and told him that someone was breaking in the house. He immediately put on a shirt and raced outside with his mother, through the front door, and they drove to a family member's home nearby.
"I was scared," testified Eric, who is apparently in his mid-teens.
"I just put on a shirt and followed her outside to the car."
As they ran out, Castro said, he did not see any blood in the house, nor did he recall seeing a pool of blood on the driveway. As they drove to the family member's home, neither he nor his mother called 911, he said.
Castro, his older sister Karina and half-brother Ramon Castro Jr. testified Monday during the murder trial of Esperanza Castro. Ramon Castro was found dead in his pickup truck on Sierra Highway at Highway 14 in Canyon Country. But blood was found in the driveway and in Castro's bedroom.
Esperanza Castro's jury trial began last Tuesday at San Fernando Superior Court before Judge Burt Pines. Castro is charged with one count of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
When defense attorney Paul Korn asked Eric Castro whether he heard gunshots while he was still home, he said he did not.
He and his mother drove to the home of Emma Vanessa, Ramon Castro's daughter from his first marriage, where the couple's daughter, Karina, was staying.
Karina, who took the stand among a storm of tears that forced a brief recess, said she suspected her father's death when Esperanza and Eric arrived that March night.
Shortly afterward, Karina went with her mother to Fox Liquor in Canyon Country, a few blocks from their home, to meet with local deputies about the burglary call that Esperanza placed earlier in the night.
Karina, who said she last saw her father earlier in the day working in the garage, said she felt odd as she drove with deputies to her home from Fox Liquor.
"I had a feeling something was wrong," Karina testified. "My heart was beating fast."
When the prosecutor asked Karina if she knew about her father's extramarital affairs, she said she knew Castro's girlfriend personally and met her a few months earlier.
Both Eric and Karina testified that they had heard talk of their parents divorcing.
During testimony earlier Monday, Ramon Castro Jr., the oldest son from his father's first marriage, recalled an evening meal with his father, just hours before the older man was slain.
"I saw him at Coco's restaurant in Stevenson Ranch at about 7 p.m."
Castro Jr. said. "We met to have dinner. It was kind of a celebration. I had just made my first payment on my mortgage."
He also testified that another man, Ismael Carrera, lived at the Castro residence. Carrera, in his early to mid-20s, worked for Castro's landscaping company. According to Castro Jr., Carrera stayed in the downstairs bedroom, the same bedroom where Esperanza slept.
Eric and Karina both testified that they knew of him, though he did not live at the Castro residence at the time of the killing.
At the end of Castro Jr.'s testimony, Deputy District Attorney Paula Gonzales asked him how he heard about his father's death. He tearfully replied that he heard about it through the news.
Witness testimony will continue today in Department J of the San Fernando Superior Court.

Portion Control Best Way To Cut Thanksgiving Dinner Calories
Cutting Back On Gravy, Carbohydrates Can Save Energy
Everyone knows eating food during the holidays can really pack on the pounds, but Thanksgiving might be the main culprit.
If you total all of the items on a typical Thanksgiving dinner plate, the calories could be 2,900 or more.
There are ways to cut back on calories.
The most important of which is portion control. Cutting back on gravy and having two, small portions of carbohydrates instead of three or more can save your waistline and your energy.
"People blame the turkey for feeling tired afterward, but a lot of times it?s just because of all the carbohydrates they?re eating," Kathy Wickert, of the Giant cooking school, said.
Portion control can be tough during the biggest food holiday of the year.
Many doctors admit if you take care of yourself the other 364 days of the year, you should be fine on Thanksgiving.

Harborcreek man pleads guilty in friend's shooting
A Harborcreek Township man pleaded guilty Monday in Erie County Court to charges that he recklessly shot to death his best friend in September.
John S. Schlick, 19, entered a guilty plea to one first-degree misdemeanor count of involuntary manslaughter and one second-degree misdemeanor count of recklessly endangering another person in a plea agreement that dropped a first-degree felony charge of aggravated assault.
With the plea, Schlick admitted he acted with recklessness or gross negligence when he shot Marshall D. Curl, 19, in the chest on Sept. 18 in Schlick's home at 5521 East Lake Road.
Schlick faces a maximum possible sentence of seven years in prison and $15,000 fine when he is sentenced March 21 by Judge Shad Connelly.
Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri said the sentence guidelines will be stiffer because a deadly weapon was used in the crime.
Schlick said little in the hearing before Erie County Judge John Garhart except to indicate that he wanted to plead guilty. As the hearing ended, Garhart asked the parties what relationship existed between Schlick and Curl.
"Best friends," Schlick's lawyer, Garrett Taylor said.
Daneri and Taylor both declined to comment after the hearing.
Family members on both sides of the case attended the brief hearing and quietly spoke with the lawyers afterward.
State police have said the shooting occurred at about 6 p.m. during a gathering of friends in Schlick's basement.
Schlick fired a shot from a Ruger 9 mm semi-automatic handgun into Curl's chest as Curl sat on a couch, according to police.
Schlick told state police Trooper Susan Edelmann during an interview that he loaded the handgun with a magazine containing 9 mm ammunition, stood directly in front of Curl and held the gun a few inches from Curl's chest when the gun fired, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed with the criminal charges.
He said the gun was his father's but that he had possessed it for about three weeks before the shooting.
An autopsy determined that Curl died of a single gunshot wound to the trunk.
Curl's death was ruled a homicide.
Daneri, explaining the charges against Schlick, has said there was no evidence that the shooting was premeditated or done with malice, which are requirements for first- and third-degree murder, respectively.
Schlick further admitted he had consumed several alcoholic beverages before the shooting. Julia A. Zacherl, 21, of Erie, was charged in December with furnishing the alcohol to Schlick and Curl, who were minors.
Police said Zacherl bought them a bottle of vodka on Sept. 18 to celebrate Curl's 20th birthday, which would have been on Sept. 20.
Schlick told authorities that Zacherl delivered the bottle of vodka to his residence on Sept. 18 at about 10:30 a.m.
Zacherl's case is still pending in Erie County Court.

Hollywood & Divine
The Passion Shows the Power of Religious Messages, While Churchgoing Stars Open Up About Their Own Beliefs
Granted, it doesn't have the lyricism of the 23rd Psalm, but thanks to the ministry of Mastermedia International Inc., which mails out free "Redemptive Prayers for Hollywood" flyers to 50,000 evangelical Christian subscribers, people can pray those words and perhaps move showbiz types to use their considerable influence only for good. The group also offers a Media Leader Prayer Calendar—available online too—so believers can focus their prayers simultaneously on alphabetically designated targets. On April 7, it's Independence Day director Roland Emmerich. The next day, Eminem. On the 9th, it's the entire cast and crew of Entertainment Tonight.
The calendar reveals what many conservative Christians feel about Hollywood—that it ignores their values. Despite high ratings for Joan of Arcadia on TV, numerous shout-outs to God on awards shows and stars such as Madonna and Mel Gibson speaking up about their religious beliefs, many Americans still feel alienated by the Hollywood studios' menu of coarse language, rampant sex, gay characters and certain Super Bowl halftime shows. "Hollywood, at heart, is anti-Christian—the only time you see churches are during funerals and weddings," declares Robert Knight, director of the D.C.-based Culture and Family Institute, who opposes programs like Will & Grace for "promoting a libertine lifestyle."
Don't expect the highly rated show suddenly to be replaced by a prime-time edition of The 700 Club. Still, it's not as if Hollywood execs haven't noticed the power of religious-themed projects, thanks to the monumental success of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, which has earned an astounding $300 million at the box office so far, defying all expectations. Nearly 45 percent of Americans have either seen the film or say they intend to, according to a March Gallup poll—evidence that the film's appeal extends far beyond evangelical Christians. Producer Frank Desiderio, who is also a Roman Catholic priest, saw the Passion principle in effect when ABC finally aired his long-shelved Judas TV movie last month. Though it fared poorly in the ratings, he says his calls are returned just a little quicker now. He didn't like The Passion for its violence but admits that the film "has raised the profile of [my] company. We've always said there are good stories out there. But it has been hard to make them."
Perhaps, but God has long had a high profile in Hollywood. The first version of The Ten Commandments was released in 1923, and stars from Gregory Peck to Jessica Simpson have spoken openly about their faith. Even before the success of The Passion, a crop of new projects with religious themes was in the works. Director Ron Howard is bringing the controversial novel The Da Vinci Code (which suggests that Mary Magdelene bore Jesus' child) to the big screen. Gladiator director Ridley Scott's epic Kingdom of Heaven, about the Crusades, is scheduled for next year. Disney plans a live-action adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Christian parable for kids by C.S. Lewis. Unlike The Passion, though, few big-studio projects deal directly with questions of belief and faith. For years Christian-themed entertainment has been treated as a niche market (see box, page 104), and conservative Christians are easy comic foils. (See Ned Flanders, the "hi-diddily-ho" holier-than-thou neighbor on The Simpsons, for one.) "We've been screaming for years that Christian folks are a large market looking for a good movie to take their families to see," says Hank Erwin, an Alabama state senator and Christian broadcaster. "They like movies like anybody else but don't like to be insulted."
Those in showbiz, not surprisingly, largely disagree with the notion that they're spiritually bankrupt. "Hollywood isn't a godless place, but the people who run the major entertainment companies are a pretty homogenous group and don't understand where the rest of the country is," says producer Gavin Polone (The Panic Room and Curb Your Enthusiasm), whose miniseries based on the Book of Revelation will air on NBC in the fall. Roma Downey, who starred in the 1994-2003 CBS show Touched by an Angel, recalls that before her series hit the airwaves "the idea of God and entertainment was decidedly unhip, even within the hallways of my own network. Somehow, it's like God equals 'unfashionable.' And Hollywood is all about how it looks." Since The Passion hit theaters, however, God is looking pretty good to the studios. "The primary religion practiced in Hollywood is money," says one exec. "We do not hesitate to worship false idols. If religion sells, we're going to do it." Gibson himself has hinted that he will next tell the story of Judah Maccabee, a Jewish warrior ca. 168 BC whose victory is commemorated during Hanukkah. Even Survivor creator Mark Burnett is onboard with Daughter of God, his first feature film, adapted from a novel about a female messiah. "Yes, more spiritual movies will be made," says Barnet Bain, producer of The Celestine Prophecy, based on the New Age bestseller. "But unless these films are authentic, they will be unsuccessful. Can there be anything emptier than the word of God in the voice of the unbeliever?"
As it happens, there are plenty of believers in Hollywood. You can find Denzel Washington and Angela Bassett at a Pentecostal church in South L.A.; Martin Sheen at the Roman Catholic Our Lady of Malibu; Steven Spielberg was seen at Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills, hugging Gwyneth Paltrow following his daughter's bat mitzvah. (His mom's kosher restaurant, the Milky Way, is located in the heavily Jewish Pico-Robertson neighborhood.) There are also many more who don't go to church, but that is true elsewhere. More than 80 percent of Americans might call themselves Christian but, according to a recent survey, only 43 percent regularly attend church. MTV star Jessica Simpson can relate. "I travel 300 days of the year," she says, "but I definitely have my time with God, and that is my church."
The entertainment industry—like most other work-places—also believes in the separation of church and office. Hollywood has an unwritten rule, says Kirk Cameron: "It's 'We don't care what you believe, just keep it to yourself.'" Cameron, 33, once an atheist who played mischievous son Mike on Growing Pains, is now born again and starring in the Left Behind movies (which have earned an estimated $100 million), based on the megaselling Book of Revelation thrillers. Paula Cale, who costarred on Providence, says that although she is politically and socially liberal, her Mormonism makes her a black sheep in Hollywood. "People read that I am Mormon and think that I hate gay people. I am terrified to be judged in this city because of it."
Balancing faith and fame can also mean some tough choices. Cameron claims he has had to turn down no fewer than 100 jobs due to conflicts with his religious beliefs. Nonetheless, he says, "I think it's critical that a person is true to themselves and not change beliefs like a chameleon depending on who they are talking to." When the Jewish New Year fell on what was to be his first day on The West Wing, actor Joshua Malina says, "I was terrified [to ask for the day off], but I couldn't possibly work on Rosh Hashanah." Malina, a conservative Jew, put the question to his new bosses and, he reports, "they were very nice about it." According to her father, Robert Thurman, a Buddhist scholar, Uma Thurman has said no to several films that, he says, "condone horror." (She gives a pass to pal Quentin Tarantino, whose use of screen violence, says her dad, is "like a dance.") The Passion's staunch Catholic star Jim Caviezel has twice asked that his onscreen love scenes (in Angel Eyes and High Crimes) be made more modest. Born-again Stephen Baldwin says he will do bedroom scenes only if he's playing a married man or if there is a redemptive story line and adds, "You will not see me in a sequel to The Usual Suspects anytime soon."
Before Everybody Loves Raymond made her a star, Patricia Heaton (raised Catholic, now a practicing Presbyterian) was sent a film script that she felt was exploitative. Though broke, she never auditioned. Fortunately, Heaton, who says grace before meals and takes her four sons to church weekly, found a home on Raymond—one of the few shows to depict church-going as a matter of course. "Most people have some kind of faith," she says. "It makes the show more real." Keeping the faith in Hollywood, though, poses special challenges. "This business tests you constantly: the materialism, the pride, the ambition," says Heaton. "[The apostle] Paul says, 'I have died to myself and it's no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.' We're supposed to 'die to ourselves'—and I'm paying a publicist $3,000 a month to make sure everybody knows who I am?"
Madonna has always publicized her spiritual growth—from Catholicism to embracing Hinduism through yoga, and now the Jewish mysticism of Kabbalah. Demi Moore and Britney Spears are also sporting the red-string Kabbalah bracelet, meant to ward off evil (see box, page 96). And Tom Cruise praises the virtues of Scientology in an attempt to demystify the controversial religion—which he shares with John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and other stars—to his fans.
"I've always found it ironic that Hollywood is seen as the godless place full of debauchery," says Barbara Hall, a Methodist and the creator of the God-is-one-of-us hit Joan of Arcadia. "Everyone I know has four children and is in bed by 9 o'clock." Still, the type of conservative Christians so thirsty for a film like The Passion are underrepresented among the Hollywood elite; it may surprise evangelicals who decried director Kevin Smith's 1999 comedy Dogma as blasphemous (it featured an abortionist who was a direct descendant of Jesus) to note that when the credits roll in the Catholic director's films, God gets the top spot. "It p---- the wife off a bit," says Smith. "But God always gets thanked first."
Heaton says she understands the disconnect many feel when they go to the movies. "People look at the stuff that comes out of Hollywood and think, 'Who are the people making this garbage? They couldn't possibly have any connection to God.'" Yet even her show doesn't meet the demands of some frustrated viewers. Darrell Bock, a Dallas Theological Seminary professor, likes Everybody Loves Raymond but calls the show's depiction of the absurdly narrow-minded Protestant in-laws "typical of the stereotyping that goes on." Says Mac Brunson, the senior pastor at the First Baptist Church of Dallas: "It's okay to be tolerant of everything but an evangelical Christian. In Hollywood, when it comes to the church, they go for the bizarre and psychotic. In Runaway Jury, there was a Baptist preacher's wife who was having an affair and had an abortion. I don't know anyone that's happened to." He has hope that in the post-Passion era, Hollywood will respect the audience that has blessed Gibson with epic riches. Brunson says he doesn't need more biblical sagas, just something he can watch with the family. In fact, he's looking forward to the May romantic comedy Raising Helen, in which Kate Hudson plays a woman dating a pastor. "I'm curious to see that," he says. "Preachers can fall in love and act human. One time, I'd love to see them capture that and get it right."
Memo to Dr. Brunson—the day to collectively pray for Kate Hudson is May 30.

Didn't see this one coming. David Krejci scored two daggers, and the Pens got shutout 3-0. The Penguins played a good game, but they couldn't score on the powerplay, and they hit four posts.
Maybe it was the eight-day layoff; maybe Ottawa was really bad. Either way, the Pens are down 1-0. All kinds of shit with Matt Cooke, too. Get ready for a fun 48 hours until Monday.

South Korea has one of the world's highest broadband penetration rates, with optical-fibre connections accounting for almost all household connections. The mobile-phone penetration rate is over 100%. Throughout the forecast period South Korea will be the fifth-largest information technology (IT) market in Asia after Japan, China, Australia and India. The local IT market was worth some US$36.5bn in 2011, with hardware spending accounting for around 70% of the total.
One of the reasons for the success of telecommunications and IT products and services in South Korea is supportive government policy in terms of fostering competition, which maintains downward pressure on prices. The industry is regulated by the Korea Communications Commission (KCC), seen as a driving force behind the adoption of fourth-generation (4G) technology (which allows mobile phones and other wireless devices to connect to the Internet and use other data services at faster speeds than achieved via third-generation, or 3G, networks).
Given the trend for convergence in the industry, the KCC is reportedly discussing ways to implement a horizontal regulatory system in which the same rules apply across the broadband Internet, mobile-telephony and fixed-line markets.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- News and notes from the Nike Football Training Camp at the outdoor turf fields at Ohio State on Sunday.
• Defensive lineman Jashon Cornell of Minnesota was one of the stars of the camp, named the MVP of the defensive linemen. He was also one of the five campers in Columbus invited to The Opening, the prestigious Nike training camp held in July at the company facilities in Oregon.
It also seems to have been a productive weekend for Ohio State and Cornell.
He visited with Ohio State coaches on Saturday, and then wrote on his Twitter account about the possibility of playing in Columbus with linebacker Justin Hilliard. National recruiting analyst Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.com went as far as now projecting that Cornell will wind up in Ohio State's recruiting class.
Flipped my @247CrystalBall to #OhioState for five-star DL Jashon Cornell. All the info why here (VIP): http://t.co/7BedGPnjvR
— Steve Wiltfong (@SWiltfong247) June 1, 2014
Cornell is ranked as the No. 76 overall player in the Class of 2015 by Rivals.
Great visit at Ohio State today can see myself playing there with my bro @JHilliard47 🙌⭕🏈
— Jashon Cornell (@Jay_Rock16) June 1, 2014
In a video interview with SBNation, Cornell said, "That visit at Ohio State yesterday is one of my best visits yet," and as as result Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State are all among his top schools, with no leader. He has also been recruited a lot by Notre Dame and remains interested.
One of my favorite visits this year and two of my favorite coaches #Buckeyes pic.twitter.com/PR3fyucYJv
— Jashon Cornell (@Jay_Rock16) June 1, 2014
• Hilliard, the No. 49 player in the nation according to Rivals.com, was another of the five prospects at the camp invited to The Opening. He said he has two schools above the others on his list, and it certainly seems like Ohio State is one of them. We wrote a full story on Hilliard on Sunday.
• Keystone High School tight end C.J. Conrad, who is pledged to Kentucky, was another one of the five players invited to The Opening. We'll have more on Conrad in a story Monday, but he was obviously excited about his invite and winning the MVP award for the tight ends and receivers.
• Kentucky five-star running back Damien Harris was on hand but didn't participate in the camp because he is coming off elbow surgery. But he said he should be ready to go soon. He continues to have great interest in Ohio State.
He also posted a photo on his Twitter account of himself and Hilliard that suggested the idea of both of them becoming Buckeyes.
Future teammates..? What y'all think? 😏😈💯🏈 @JHilliard47 pic.twitter.com/3TGRptRHXe
— Damien Harris (@Damien_D1Harris) June 1, 2014
• Andrew Dowell of St. Edward was the MVP of the running back group. He was there with his brother David, who did well with the defensive backs. Both are pledged to Northwestern, and we'll have more from Andrew Dowell on Monday as well.
• There were several players on hand from Cass Tech, the Detroit power that Ohio State has been recruiting hard. Among them were running back Mike Weber, offensive lineman Michael Onwenu, who was named the MVP in his group, and 2017 receiver prospect Donovan People-Jones, who said his only offer so far is from Ohio State.
• Besides Hillard, Cornell and Conrad, the other two prospects in Columbus to earn invites to The Opening were linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. of Indianapolis, who is pledged to Michigan, and linebacker Josh Smith.

Solutions for Chapter KinSP9
The slope of the total profit versus the amount of silver extracted graph gives the marginal profit.
(A) The marginal profit is maximum at the point B since the slope of the curve is maximum at this point.
(B) The marginal profit first becomes negative at the point E. The negative marginal profit implies that the cost of mining is more than the profit earned by selling the silver.
(C) The following graph shows the marginal profit versus the amount of silver already mined.
(D) I would have shut down the mine at the point D, as the marginal profit is negative. When the marginal profit is negative, then the cost of production is more than the profit made .

Getting emotional over figure skating's Kiss and Cry
Glitter, designer costumes and major drama; what's not to like about figure skating? The stars of the U.S. figure skating team describe the emotional scene awaiting their scores in the famed Kiss and Cry.
http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/get...s-kiss-and-cry (2:14 video)
I think this video is new.
Have refrained from starting a separate thread for every NBC video featuring skaters, but I thought this one might be of a little wider interest.

It's a rare occurrence when a player coming off a poor club season can step into his national team at a critical juncture and be given a chance to regain his form and confidence.
Jozy Altidore is that rare player, and with the World Cup less than two weeks away, the United States national team needs Altidore to rediscover his goal-scoring talents if it has any chance of getting out of group play.
That process will continue Sunday when Altidore, the former Red Bulls striker, and his teammates play Turkey at Red Bull Arena in the second of three friendlies leading up to the U.S. tournament opener June 16 against Ghana.
"It says a lot that (U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann) shows that he believes I'm a good player," Altidore said. "That's a compliment, but you can't just say you're a good player. You have to show it. He's been the coach for a while now, and if a guy like that believes in you, that means a lot."
The 24-year-old Altidore appeared to be coming into his own last year in Holland when he scored 23 goals for AZ Alkmaar and eight more in the Dutch Cup. He also scored eight goals with the national team, including goals in four straight games, and was named the national team's Player of the Year.
Altidore capitalized on the success with a transfer to Sunderland in England, but things soured quickly. Sunderland got off to a terrible start, the coach that brought him in was fired and the club barely avoided relegation. Altidore finished with just two goals and reduced playing time.
"It was a tough one, not only on me but everyone involved with the club," Altidore said. "A lot of changes went on during the year, emotional ones as well, but at the same time I learned it's not always going to go as you thought. You just have to adjust as a professional."
Altidore is looking forward to today's game, not just because it's at Red Bull Arena, but because he played on loan with Turkish club Bursaspor in 2011.
"It's a bit of an unknown Turkey team but I've played there and they have good players," he said. "They combine well, they like to go through the middle and they also have some good quickness. It's not going to be an easy game at all."
Turkey, which failed to qualify for the tournament, beat World Cup-bound Honduras, 2-0, Wednesday night in Washington.
"I think with Turkey we have a team on a very high level, a team that almost qualified (for the World Cup) and with very good individual players," Klinsmann said. "They will challenge us."
U.S. forward Clint Dempsey, a last-minute scratch in the 2-0 victory over Azerbaijan May 27 in San Francisco, is expected to start Sunday.
"I didn't have an injury. There was tightness in my groin," Dempsey said. "It didn't make much sense to push it in that game."
With Dempsey back in the lineup and Altidore needing to find his form, the Americans will likely play a 4-4-2 against Turkey rather than a 4-5-1, when Altidore plays alone as a target striker.
Klinsmann scheduled friendlies against Azerbaijan, Turkey and Nigeria to prepare for World Cup group games against Ghana, Portugal and Germany. While Azerbaijan, coached by Klinsmann's friend and former teammate Berti Vogts, can replicate Germany's style and Nigeria compares favorably to Ghana, Klinsmann says Turkey is not a true representative for Portugal.
"We wanted a European team that is strong and will challenge us," he said. "Their strengths and weaknesses are not similar to Portugal. You can not imitate Cristiano Ronaldo out there, but it's a team that is definitely going to give us a good game."

So at this point, we've blocked out the animation of the body. So let's go ahead, and just play what we have so far. (Character: Oh boy! I've been waiting for this all week! Oh--) So in this animation, again, this is kind of a test animation, so I wanted to do a number of different things. I wanted to make sure the character has a head turn, changing of the hands, that sort of thing. I also wanted to make sure that we have head turns, and here at the end I wanted to make sure I can put the character's hands behind his back.
So I want to make sure I can do that front-forward-back thing with the arms. So this is the basic animation, and so far the character is working pretty well. So the next thing we need to do is add in lip sync to match the dialog. So let's go ahead down, select our HEAD_CTL object here, and we have a Mouth slider. So I am going to ahead and zoom in just a little bit, and let's go ahead and zoom in to the character's face. So what we need to do is start scrubbing through the animation, listening to the dialog, and matching up the mouth shapes to the dialog.
Now, before we get started, let's do a quick refresh here. When we animate replacement animation, such as this Mouth slider, we want to make sure that we use the right type of interpolation. So if we right-click and go into Keyframe Interpolation, you want to just make sure that this is on Hold, okay, and that will make this type of keyframe, instead of the diamond-shaped ones, and that way you will know you are using Hold Interpolation. So let's go through and start scrubbing. Now, in After Effects, if you hold down the Ctrl key while you scrub, you can hear the soundtrack.
So let's go through this. Okay, so that first line, "oh," starts right around Frame 12 or so, so let's go ahead and start dialing in the mouth. Now remember, he's happy, so I kind of want to start with a happy mouth, actually, so let's go through here. So he is going to go from here into kind of an "Oh" mouth here, just go ahead and dial that in. So I want to go from here to here and then down into the ooh shape.
So that would be this one here. So now we have got-- And then he is going to say. So right here before he actually says boy, we want that B sound. So somewhere right around frame 36 or 37, I want to bring the mouth into kind of a B shape here. So what I want to do is I like using this kind of frowned, closed mouth, because it gives a little bit more tension-- particularly for this vowel here.
So again, I want to go open. In fact, I can almost use this exact same sequence here. So I am going to go ahead and select these keyframes, copy them, and paste them at this keyframe. So it goes-- I don't think the open mouth works on this. (Character: Boy!) Boy, E, so we want kind of an E shape here. (Character: Boy!) Okay. So now we've got - (Character: Oh boy!) Now, I want to close down that mouth a little bit, or maybe even, let's go to this mouth.
(Character: Oh boy!) No, that doesn't work. So let's go to this one. So right there is I. So we are going to start with an open mouth here. IE, within that I, so I. Close that down a little bit. (clip playing) I've, I've been. Okay, so let's actually change this.
Let's change this. Instead of to this mouth, let's go to the V or F, so basically, "I've been waiting." So we want to go I've. Been. Okay, so let's do this mouth here. And then been. Let's try that. (Character: I've been--) Been, let's go to a more of a consonant sound, which is that one. Waiting, okay, so that would be ooh, wa, a. That would be either one or two. There we go! (Character: I've been waiting.) And after a while, you start to get to memorize the numbers and which mouth shape they have.
(Character: Oh boy! I've been waiting for--) So at this point you can see what the process is. We are just scrubbing through the timeline and assigning the mouths that work, and then every once in a while you do want to create a RAM Preview just to check where you are at. So let's go ahead and do that and see what we have so far. (Character: Oh boy! I've been waiting for this all week!) Okay. So now you can see that so far, we've done pretty good. So I'll have you finish out the dialog track, and we understand the process now, and then the next step is to go ahead and just finish this off by using blinks and eye direction.

Darvish still humble day after near-perfect game
HOUSTON -- Texas manager Ron Washington was certainly impressed as he watched Yu Darvish flirt with perfection.
He was even more blown away when he saw a television replay of the Japanese star coming within an out of the second perfect game in Rangers history.
"It wasn't as nasty looking from the side as it was when I saw it on TV," Washington said Wednesday. "He was nasty. I mean, his ball was moving all over the place. He had his cutter working. He had a breaking ball. He threw some splits. He threw a couple of change-ups. He threw very few four-seamers. To watch it after the fact, I said he was dominating."
The celebrated right-hander struck out a career-high 14 in a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night. He was in complete control before Marwin Gonzalez grounded the first pitch he saw up the middle with two outs in the ninth inning.
Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus.
Darvish didn't seem overly troubled that his bid to make history came just short. He even went so far as to say that Tuesday night's performance wasn't his best on the mound. The 26-year-old thought he was better in a game in September against the Royals when he didn't allow a baserunner through 52/3 innings.
That, Washington said is one of the great things about Darvish.
"Well, he threw quite a few good ones," Washington said. "He almost threw a perfect game here. I think he's a very humble kid and he'll never pat himself on the back. But he threw a good game against the Royals, but that one last night was almost one for the record books."
Darvish said it took him a while to feel good on Tuesday night, though it was hard to tell from the results. He sailed through the first four innings, striking out nine, including the side in the second and fourth.
"I didn't really have good balance in the beginning, but as I threw inning after inning I think I just made adjustments," Darvish said.
He was the first Ranger to lose a no-hitter as late as 8 2-3 innings, but three Texas pitchers saw one end after 8 1-3 innings, according to stats provided by the Rangers from Elias. None of those were perfect games.
His 14 strikeouts were three more than his previous career-high of 11, and the most by a Rangers pitcher since Nolan Ryan had 14 against the Angels in July of 1991.
The inexperienced Astros have had no answer for him in two career starts against them where he struck out 25 combined in 16 2-3 innings.
Washington knew Darvish was dealing on Tuesday night, but was so concerned that his offense had just one run he didn't realize he was throwing a perfect game until the seventh inning.
"I was hoping we'd put some runs on the board," said Washington, whose teams finally began tacking on extra runs in the seventh. "I was just happy each time Yu got out of the inning because it gave us a chance to go back to the plate and possibly put some runs on the board."
Darvish, who played seven professional seasons in Japan before joining the Rangers, set rookie franchise records for wins and strikeouts last season. He finished third in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind winner Mike Trout and Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.
Tuesday's victory gives Darvish five straight regular-season victories dating to last season. He took the loss in the Rangers' 5-1 loss to Baltimore in the AL wild-card game.
Expectations were already high for Darvish's sophomore season after he won 16 games last year. An outing like Tuesday's has caused even more buzz about what he'll do in Year 2, but the Rangers don't think it changes anything.
"The thing is, we have a chance each time he takes the mound and that's important," Washington said. "Whatever happens in nine innings after that, it happens. But I'm certainly not looking for him to go out there every night and dazzle people the way he did last night. I expect him to go out every night and keep us in ball games. That's all."

"She's finished the program," one source says. "Lindsay is done, but she may come back for outpatient treatment. She over-extended her stay because she wanted to. She could have been out awhile ago, but she chose to stay."
Lohan's mother, Dina, told PEOPLE Friday: "I'm proud of her. She's moving ahead with her life. Things were getting out of control. She took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal."
Lohan was photographed Friday afternoon with her father Michael, who carried her suitcases, leaving Cirque Lodge. "I will be there in her life as best I can but from here on she's going to have a lot of decisions to make on her own," Michael told PEOPLE Friday. "Now that she is going out into the world, I can only hope for the best."
The father and daughter reunited last month for the first time in three years when he paid a visit to her in rehab. "I'm enjoying my time with Lindsay and I'm happy to see and believe she's the Lindsay I last saw three years ago, before all this turmoil came into her life," says Michael. "I am trying my best to lead by example and institute important tools."
Of the actress's reunion with her father, Lohan's mom, Dina, told PEOPLE recently: "It can only help her recovery. It's time to mend."
Back to WorkAnd Lohan is already gearing up for her return to work: A source says she has plans to start filming her tango-themed move, Dare to Love Me, in Los Angeles on Oct. 15. Plus, says the source, despite reports suggesting Lindsay is an insurance liability for film studios, Lohan has been insured for this film.
"Lindsay will start her life over," says the source. "She's gotten rid of the people around her who were bad influences."
DUI Arrest
At the police station, Lohan, 21, was searched and a "small" amount of cocaine was found in her pocket, said Santa Monica police spokesman Lt. Alex Padilla.
Immediately after she was booked, her attorney said that Lohan, who had recently completed a six-week stint at Promises rehab center, had "relapsed" and was receiving "medical care."
A month later, at the time her lawyer negotiated a plea deal for Lohan in her DUI cases, the actress issued a statement in which she accepted responsibility for her actions and said she suffers from drug and alcohol addiction.
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs," her statement said.

The past weekend was filled with honor for 9/11 victims across the U.S. -- and some jitters as well. On Sunday, F-16 military jets escorted a Frontier Airlines plane to Detroit after the crew reported two people spending a long time inside a bathroom.
Fighter jets also accompanied an American Airlines plane to Kennedy Airport after the crew reported some passengers going to the bathroom again and again. In both cases, authorities released the suspects after questioning.
"That's a little unnerving," passenger Lisa McCann said. "I'm glad I didn't know it at the time. I think we were all a bit nervous about flying on 9/11."
In yet another security scare, authorities closed part of the Kansas City airport after finding suspicious items in a carry-on bag. Investigators later determined the bag contained no explosives.
"This is the craziest day we've ever had here," one TSA agent told The Wichita Eagle.
In New York and Washington, D.C., stepped up security was obvious over the weekend. ABC News reported the high security level will continue for at least another day as authorities investigate a threat from al Qaeda.
Remembering 9/11
At memorials throughout the day, four separate moments of silence marked the exact moments when individual commercial airliners hit the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and crashed into a Pennsylvania field. Families of the victims got their first look at New York City' new Ground Zero memorial - and remembered their loved ones 10 years later.
"I wish my dad had been there to teach me how to drive, how to ask a girl on a date," said Peter Negron, whose father died at the World Trade Center when he was only 11 years old.
"I hope that I can make my dad proud of the young men my brother and I have become," he added. "I miss you so much, Dad."
Country music recording artist Alan Jackson performed at a memorial service held at the National Cathedral, and President Obama also spoke at a Concert for Hope at the Kennedy Center.
"Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11, and they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America," the president said. Before dawn Sunday, two columns of light filled the space where the Trade Center towers once stood, reminding all of the enduring tragedy - and America's resolve to never forget.

HOLMDEL – Authorities are asking for information about a dog that was reportedly thrown from a vehicle on the Garden State Parkway and then hit by another car on Saturday, police said.
Between noon and 1 p.m. a caller reported that the dog, a brown, female terrier mix, was thrown from a vehicle in the southbound lanes near Exit 116, Monmouth County SPCA Chief Law Enforcement Officer Victor "Buddy" Amato said.
After it was struck by another vehicle, the dog ended up crossing the local lanes of the highway and went into the express lanes where a Good Samaritan stopped traffic to help the dog cross, Amato said.
New Jersey State Police Trooper Tara Karagias responded and rushed the dog to the SPCA, Amato said. When authorities saw the condition of the dog, Karagias then rushed it to the Red Bank Veterinary Hospital.
"By her [the state trooper] racing it over to the Red Bank animal hospital, they were able to control the internal bleeding," Amato said. "The dog would have went into shock and died if she didn't do that."
While the dog is still in serious condition after suffering internal bleeding, cuts and abrasions, Amato said it is doing well because of the state trooper's actions.
"She went above and beyond," Amato said, noting that he is calling the dog Tara after the state trooper.
While the caller reported the dog was thrown from a vehicle, Amato said he investigating all possibilities in the case, including if the dog jumped out the window.
"Anything is possible at this point," Amato said. "But the fact of the matter is, it's very strange that no one's come forward claiming ownership or anything."
Amato said anyone with information should call him at 732-312-7153. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution in the case.

One man died when the car he was driving spun out and rolled over in a field.
Dodge County sheriff's deputies said Joseph Koenigs, 29, was heading south on County Highway O, north of Roosevelt Road, around 12:15 a.m. when he lost control of their Pontiac sedan.
The Dodge County medical examiner pronounced Koenigs, who was the only person in the car, dead at the scene.
Investigators don't know yet why Koenigs, of Neosho, lost control of the car.
