Last Fall my short play, "The Chocolate Center" was Performed as part of the WARP showcase of shorts entitled MetaWARPhosis. WARP (Writers and Actors Reading and Performing) is guided under the leadership of John Paul Sharp, the Creative Director, and Jason Dooley, the Managing Director. Below are a couple still pictures of the cast, from left-to-right, Molly Blades (Her directorial debut!), Gene Hawkridge (as Grandpa) and Danela Butler (as Sally). I'm pictured to the far right in the right-hand picture. The play also had a cameo appearance by Greg Beach (not pictured). Below the still photos is a youtube video of the play, which was shot by Jeff Weedman. I am grateful to all involved. I think it turned out beautifully. I'm looking forward to being part of the WARP Spring Showcase which is currently being developed.
I like to cruise. Back and forth, looking left, then right. It's great to be the most badass fish in the ocean. That's me. Look at 'em scatter! I can eat anything! The Universe is my bitch! What does not kill me, makes me stronger. And NOTHING kills me. All those limp-finned wimps out there can suck on my dorsal. I'm a shark among minnows! I go back 400 million years. Longer than the dinosaurs. BETTER than the dinosaurs! Like those pussy Tyrannosaurus Rex—with their pussy seal-baby arms. (Waving his arms.) "Look at me! I'm a little dino-pussy!"
I hear the dino-dicks got killed by little-shit mammals that ate their eggs. I'm not surprised. Wimps. What they needed to do was build a big fence and keep those little bastards out. If they did that, they wouldn't have any problems. That's what I am—a problem solver. I drive a hard bargain, and I back it up with some teeth!
So, if you wanna be part of this, and make Earth the best planet in the Galaxy, you're gonna vote for me for top animal. Be a part of a winner! Thank you. Better yet, you should thank me.

(Singing in italics)
You better watch out
You better not cry--
—Wait! Wait! What's wrong with crying? I mean, just 'cause I'm male doesn't mean I don't have feelings too!
It's just a song. The idea is you're supposed to be happy.
I resent being told how I should feel. My feelings are my own.
Lemme start over.
You better watch out--
—What am I watching out for anyway?
Hold on, you'll find out later in the song.
You better watch out.
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why--
—You're awful pedantic, aren't you?
(deep sigh)
Santa Claus is coming to town--
—Yeah, so what?
He knows when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake--
—Jesus! This guy have a camera in my bedroom? What a creep!
He knows when you been bad or good.
So be good for goodness sake.
Who the fuck does he think he is? Why is he the ultimate judge of bad and good? Sheesh!
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming--
—Well, tell him to come already, I'm sick and tired of the foreplay!
Santa Claus is coming to town!
Sounds more intrusive than the NSA!
You really, don't get the Christmas spirit, do you?
I'm gonna buy me a gun. I need protection from this guy.
Merry Christmas.
Yo! It's that time of year again, and I'm about to leave for TTITD (That Thing In The Desert), AKA Burning Man. In celebration of this epic event, I have written an epic poem about evolution which I will read at a couple of events on the Playa. For those not attending this event, below is a copy. If you're coming to Burning Man this year come and visit me and we can chat.

Camp Althing in Hushville at 5:15 and E.
I sit under the palm trees, breathing in the trade winds, as the cirrus clouds sweep by calling, calling, ever so quietly: come. Bring your dreams to the ocean, my friend. Come to the sea. My eyes open and the sun is falling and the fish jump to escape the sea lions and the sea lions flee the sharks. Come, come to me. Poseidon, my father, you are so deep. So blue. So kind. So limitless. With the foam hissing on the shore and the waves rising and falling. I ask why?
Never mind the why, just tell me when.
Such are my dreams.
It is hard to imagine time.
From molten marble, to pale blue dot
the rumbling Earth awakens from its fiery past. It is also hard to imagine liquid rock.
To parse time into increments does it a disservice, for each moment is infinitely divisible.
Four and a half billion years.
Did I begin with a bang?
The crack of a lightning bolt
striking a pond of dark ooze?
Or did I begin with a bubble
clinging to the edge of a volcanic vent?
Perhaps I started elsewhere
arriving on an ancient meteor originating from another planet.
I guess I'll never know,
but I wonder.
Molecules break apart, then recombine.
Rare events that seem to defy entropy.
But the sun can reverse entropic chaos.
Patterns are formed. Order from disorder. Repeating units. Molecular arrays.
My life force traverses through millennia.
Then the sun goes and the sky blackens and my eyes close. I dream of mermaids and mermen skipping through the surf. Playing games of tag and singing songs. Joyous chortling and catching breaths. The sea never stops, you know, mermen and mermaids never die. They never stop cavorting through the waves. They also never eat, living in a continuous state of delight, giggling and guffawing forever. A mad loop of laughter and frantic swimming. Their favorite game is tag, but everyone wants to be "it." They so love to chase. They never tire. They never cease.
Such are my dreams.
And here I swim at the edge of the sea
Not quite a land dweller, yet not a typical fish.
I am a mudskipper.
When the tide is low there are many things to see.
The bones of my mind are exposed.
I wish to crawl freely onto the land, but I am attached.
It will take many years until I can emerge freely.
Then she arises as Botticelli's Venus from the clam shell. I, waiting like a child. Wanting. Wanting it so. And she smiles. Botticelli's Venus, da Vinci's Mona Lisa, and the countless Virgin Marys all bear the same smile. It is the smile of Earth-mother ever expecting. Let me lie in your arms Goddess-of-all. Gaia. Demeter. Diana, Goddess of the Moon. Can I just curl up in your arms? Can I be your child and feel the warmth of your breast. Caress me, not like a God, but hold me like a mother. Come Mother, and find me. And she does.
Such are my dreams.
In the tide pool, the sea stars have nowhere to go, nor do they want to. But I gulp spoons of warm sunshine, and gaze longingly at the shore. I break the surface with a rapid exhalation of breath. I crawl from my saltwater birthplace, carrying the salt within my veins. I cannot escape the sea—I carry it with me. I am newly-born. Emergent! I am cold mother. I walk the sand on the beach. Am I the child of the fish or the cousin of the mudskipper? The frog prince. My ventral sacs swell as I push out air. It is not a croak, it is a song. Others respond and we multiply. My skin hardens, as I breathe more freely. I walk slowly munching on the jungle. Now, so tall I can reach the canopy. Roaring with the gods! But, like the gods, I am arrogant, and thus fade. Fade away. Raging fires always blow out. Embers burn slowly, red hot, but inconspicuous, I live in the shadows of giants. Did my ancestors nibble on the eggs of the terrible lizards, contributing to their demise?
When I first escaped the ocean did I know that some my descendants would crawl back?
Are the dinosaurs the ghosts of birds? When the mighty fall I take wing. Soaring in the atmosphere, I look down not at the smallness of all things, but at the largeness of the expanse. The wind rushes through me. I am drawn again to the seashore. I light upon the cliff face and stuff bits of crab into my nestlings mouths. They are such beggars. They rustle their wings, nearly casting each other off the cliff side. I turn a gaze at the sea. The waves crash, exploding on the cliff.
My nose wiggles and my tail grows. I learn to scurry and then to run, launching onto my rear haunches I lean forward the wind whistling and then roaring through my hair. I plop down and survey the scene. Cycads and lichens abound. I gaze at the curl of the horizon and want more.
When the tide is low there are many things to see. When spirits are low and exposed, like driftwood washing onto the beach, my smooth, white, desires bake in the sun. The gulls call and drop from the sky, poking around, seeking bits of rotting fish and beached crabs. The air is rank and heavy, like a salty barnyard with fish-soaked silage. Stones and sand are interspersed with bits of glass rendered smooth by the waves grinding in the tumble of churning sand. The horizon curves into infinity, stretching in all directions. But I look to the sea. The sun shines, but it has no carefully circumscribed edge. I close my eyes again.
Such are my dreams.
My parents sort, and pair off, performing the love dance and the gene shuffle.
And I am conceived.
I dig into the wall of mother's uterus, a spelunker in the primordial cave.
I dig deeper, releasing enzymes that allow me to burrow and implant.
Can I want, or do I only exist?
Can a fetus ask a question?
And now, I am man.
But what is man?
How far back do I go?
I am the sum of all my ancestors.
I am not the endpoint.
The journey is not over.
The life force continues to transform and grow.
How long will the journey last?
How can I know?
Perhaps, I will reach for the stars…Such are my dreams.
A Poem for Geeky Skeptics
by Scot Bastian (with apologies to Dylan Thomas)
Is there a quark in your belfry?
A meme in your bonnet?
Do you, and yours, wax eusocial?
Do you try to grok the neurosciences?
Are you a heterogeneous, Homo sapiens, or, perhaps, a transhumanist?
Do you argue:
Charon or Karon?
Sagan or Tyson?
Cosmos 1 or 2?
Star Wars or Star Trek?
Kirk or Picard?
And who is right:
Hawking and Musk, or Krause?
Are your dreams peppered with the stars of the cosmos, rather than the stars of Hollywood?
Do you love NASA more than the NFL?
Do you dream of androids dreaming of electric sheep?
Do you love spiders and snakes?
Do you ask these questions--and dream these dreams?
Then, I extend my welcome.
For you and I are in the same tribe.
We are star stuff.
I exhort you!
Do not go gentle into that vacuous pit of the culturally inane
Rage, rage against the dumbing of the mind!
A few days ago I put the following quip on Facebook:
I find it interesting that what many call a "faith crisis" is what I consider a "reality epiphany."
Based on the number of "likes" it has been receiving, this is a pretty popular sentiment. I wonder how many of my fellow skeptics, atheists, ignostics, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers--whatever you in what I think of as the rational community--are often annoyed when we are told we "lack faith" as if it is some kind of deficiency? "If we only would try to believe." "If only we would pray." "If only we would open the door to ask God's grace." The torrent of condescension seems to never end. Even worse, is when we're told that "atheism is just another faith." Ridiculous. Somewhere I've seen the sentiment that atheism is another faith the way that baldness is another hairstyle. Yes, science has it's assumptions, such as reproduciblility. Yes, scientists rely on mathematical and physical laws. But that's a far cry from inventing unicorns, angels,talking snakes and virgin births.
I guess this blog entry is more of a rant than I originally wanted it to be when I started writing.
But, occasionally, there is a news item that gives me hope that humanity, however slowly, is turning away from the supernatural ghosts of the past. Here is a link to a news story of a group of a hundred people who en masse resigned from the Mormon Church. Welcome fellow realists. Turning away from supernatural deities and beliefs can lead to some uncomfortable conclusions, not the least of which is facing mortality rather than some kind of fake transition into a netherworld, or heaven, or some form of reincarnation. But, really, if you have any respect for the truth, isn't that, in the end, more satisfying than a comforting delusion?
A recent New Yorker article about the precarious position that us Northwesterners find ourselves in, regarding the potential for a massive earthquake has created a bit of a collective stir in paranoid consciousness. The article suggests, if the big one hits, everything west of Interstate-5, might be "toast." This has created quite a hornets nest of fear in the more skittish members of the local populace. This collective anxiety reminded me of the planet Bethselamin, from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, by legendary author Douglas Adams. Here is the wikipedia description of the planet:
Bethselamin is a fabulously beautiful planet which attracts billions of tourists each year. Unsurprisingly, cumulative erosion is a serious concern of the local authorities. Their solution is to calculate the net imbalance between the amount of matter eaten and the amount subsequently excreted by each visitor, and remove the weight difference through amputative surgery. Thus it is vitally important to get a receipt after every trip to the lavatory while on the planet.
How is this related? I have a novel hypothesis on why this threat, which has really been here all along, has only recently become a hot topic of discussion. The reason is that, similar to Douglas Adams' planet, the risk of earthquake has been significantly enhanced by the collective humanity that has poured into the region. It is simple physics. There is now more weight in this region of the country from all the human beings moving here, which creates an imbalance in the subduction zone, which might exacerbate seismic activity. As far as I know this idea is completely novel, and this hypothesis awaits testing by the scientific community. But, until testing confirms my theory, I propose that we take the following precautions; 1) No one will be allowed to move to Seattle or Portland unless they can persuade at least two people to leave. This has the dual benefit of ameliorating some of the problems with traffic congestion and the housing shortage that have plagued Seattle recently. 2) If you feel compelled to visit, you must pay a homeless person (and house and feed them, of course) to travel elsewhere during the duration of your stay. This idea also has multiple benefits. It provides gainful employment to the indigent population and encourages tourism (and cultural exchange!) between different regions of the country.
I realize this is a novel idea, and will likely be controversial, but it is my hope that this small blog entry will be a starting point of community discussion, that will lead to endless town hall meetings, followed by the formation of an actionable change in public policy, followed by more public discussion, and eventual death in committee. Spread the word. We need to take action on this now.
Oh, what fun! This week the New Horizons NASA Mission to flyby Pluto is coming to fruition. As I have said before, NASA is, by far, my favorite government agency. I am in continuous awe of what the NASA engineers can get done across the unbelievable expanse of space. And they often do it flawlessly. One of the things I learned this week, is how big that Charon, the moon of Pluto, compared to the planetoid. Check out this recent, false-color image of Pluto next to Charon (Note: The distance between the two is also false.)
Another striking fact, is that both Pluto and Charon are much smaller than Earth. Below is a depiction that I find striking. Note that this might be fractionally off, because now that we're in the neighborhood, it seems that Pluto is a little larger than we thought. It's still only about the size of the US.
One interesting speculation that I have, is I wonder if the flyby mission wasn't launched a few months before pluto was "demoted" from planet to planetoid, if this mission would have taken a different trajectory. No matter, Pluto is still the coolest dwarf planet I know.
There are three Pluotopalooza Parties brewing locally that I know about, one is right here in West Seattle tonight at the library, another celebration by Astronomy On Tap, tomorrow, July 15th and yet another big celebration at the Museum of Flight on Sunday the 19th. Woo-Hoo, go get yer astrofix!
Waiting For Boa--the Video!
Finally! My short play, "Waiting For Boa" which was part of the showcase of plays from in the Writer's and Actors Reading and Performing (WARP) show "WARP Springs a Gnu" in May 2014, is available on video. The play, which was directed by John Paul Sharp and Jason Dooley, starred Brendan Mack and Julian Garcia as the rats Elmo and Ben, Joshua Moore as the snake and Beatrix Turner-Rodriguez as the hand and voice. The video was shot by Stacy Kwimm. Special thanks to Jeff Weedman for loading it up on Youtube.
As described previously on this blog, the comedy was based on a true story. Several years ago I visited my cousin and her young son owned a caged boa constrictor. Next to the cage was another cage containing Snakie's prospective dinner--a couple of caged rats. What were the rats thinking? What was Snakie thinking? Watch the video below and find out. Below the video are some pics taken by Carl Nelson of the first performances.
A special thanks to everyone involved in this production. I love this play and thought everyone did a spectacular job.
I am very proud of the production of my short play "Lack of Life Valley," which was part of a showcase of plays produced by Writers and Actors Reading and Performing (WARP). The WARP show, entitled Playwright Under Pressure, was produced by Ellen Covey. The play was directed by Justin Ordonez and starred Justin Ordonez, as the tall vulture, Jeff Weedman, as the short vulture, and Ashley Salazar, as the bunny. All of them did a great job. Below are a couple of still photos from the production, and below that is a video. Enjoy.

Sony's newly announced mobile products might be great. Even greater is the vision behind those products.
Here's the vision: Instead of carrying a smartphone and a tablet, it's better to carry a true "phablet" plus a connected wearable device or two.
Here's how Sony's doing it, and why their vision fricken rocks:

Peres, Shimon
|born on
|16 August 1923 at 05:51 (= 05:51 AM )
|Visnevo Farmlands, Russia, 54n08, 26e14
|EET h2e (is standard time)
|Data source
|Astrology data
|22°16' 11°00 Asc. 01°10'
Israeli politician born in the USSR, a cabinet minister and colleague of Rabin, co-architect of the peace process in the mid-east. Shimon's work is during a period of upheaval, death threats and lack of unity.
Source Notes
Noel Tyl quotes a biography, "just as the sun was rising." Tyl states that the date is positively confirmed by Peres' son through Fernandez, his mutual acquaintance.
As frequently happens with data from the mid-east, there are several different dates available, all without source. Jane Statlander in Mercury Hour 10/1996 EXT gives August 2, 1923, transcribed from a Hebrew birth date, Vologhin, USSR, formerly Wolozyn, Poland, remarking that August 16 is sometimes given. The Hebrew calendar has a 13-day difference in the 20th century, giving the day from sunrise to sunrise. Statlander did not give an original date from which it was allegedly transcribed, nor a source.
Starkman add (30 July 2013):There are no documents for his birth date. Peres insist all the years that he was born in the Hebrew date 20 Av, which in 1923 is equal to 2 August, but yet, all the years he was strict to celebrate his birthday on 16 August.
In 60s his mother told to my friend that he was born on 16 August. The approximate birth time of sunrise is from his father.
Starkman rectified his chart to 16 August 1923 05.46.56 LT. Asc 2Vir09'.

"West Minico Middle School has enjoyed working with Fatboy Ice Cream for the past 5 years. This is by far the best and the EASIEST way to make money for our school. The product is high quality, the public is familiar with it, and there is only one price to remember."
"Last year we made over $10,000 in two weeks. We have run a sale once a year since 2011. Without a doubt the Fatboy fundraising program is the easiest and most profitable program we have ever done. Farmington Bands LOVE Fatboy!"
"One of my coworker's daughter did Fat Boys for her sports team fundraiser.
Best fundraiser I've even participated in! I got the "on a stick" ones!"
"I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for this fundraiser! It has made it possible for 5 of our gymnasts to attend regionals in Vegas! I was very, very impressed with the delivery people- they had it so organized and were wonderfully helpful! We look forward to working with you again!"

Police: Drunk woman crashed into school fenceAugust 29,2013Police: Drunk woman crashed into fence
BENNINGTON A local woman is facing a felony charge after police said they believed she was driving under the influence of alcohol on July 19, crashed into a fence at Molly Stark Elementary School and left the scene of the crash without alerting authorities.
Stephanie A. Surdam, 34, of Bennington, was arraigned on Monday in Bennington criminal court on a felony charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and misdemeanor charges of leaving the scene of a crash and negligent driving.
Surdam, who pleaded innocent to the charges, was released without bail. She was charged with a felony for driving under the influence of alcohol based on previous convictions for the same charge in September 2000 and November 2004.
In an affidavit Officer Benjamin Lackey, of the Bennington Police Department, said he met with Surdam around 6:20 a.m. July 20 on Willowbrook Drive. Surdam said she had left her car there overnight because she had been drinking the night before but said when she went to get the car, it had been vandalized and the tires slashed.
A man living in the area told police that day that he had seen Surdam the night before, banging on the door of an apartment with a hammer. He said she got upset when she saw him and his girlfriend watching the incident and attempted to start a fight with them.
The man said he shone a flashlight in her eyes to stop her and she drove off. The man said he believed Surdam was highly intoxicated and said he watched her drive into the fence at the school.
After checking the fence and finding damage, as well as a broken windshield wiper that police believe came from Surdams car, police concluded that the damage to the car that Surdam claimed was vandalism was probably from the collision with the fence.
Surdam declined to give police a sample of her breath, Lackey said.MORE IN This Just InRutland got two goals from Eli Henni and Ryan McKay made three saves in notching the shutout as...

The Slave in Greece and Romeby Jean Andreau Raymond Descat
Jean Andreau and Raymond Descat break new ground in this comparative history of slavery in Greece and Rome.

Accessible to both scholars and students, this book provides a detailed overview of the ancient evidence and the modern debates surrounding the vast and largely invisible populations of enslaved peoples in the classical world.

Tucson's Simons Physical Therapy gives back to community
Tucson's Simons Physical Therapy supports the community by supporting local causes and raising the awareness of injury prevention. Simons adopts families in need during the holidays and offers free screenings during 2012 "Better than Ever" launch.
Team members from Simons Physical Therapy attended the "Better than Ever" launch 2012 event earlier this year, offering to the participants free Functional Movement Screens (FMS) which assess clients' weaknesses, asymmetries, limitations and imbalances. The score from the assessment predicted the likelihood of injury. This test is being used in most major professional sports teams .
Simons Physical Therapy is happy to support local non-profit causes, especially in an effort to enhance the public's awareness of prevention tools based in up to date research.
As part the new FMS offerings, Simons Physical Therapy has added two new FMS-certified staff members, who will consult with local youth, top athletes and weekend warriors on how to best train towards their goals in a safe manner. Once the FMS screen is completed, the therapists are able to implement corrective exercises to resolve the dysfunctions that increase the risk of injury.
In addition to "Better than Ever", Simons Physical Therapy gives back to the community by adopting several families in need around the holidays as well as participating in fundraisers for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
For 10 years Simons Physical Therapy has been offering quality services using licensed staff in one on one treatment sessions that focus on manual therapy interventions.
Simons Physical Therapy joined Preferred Therapy Providers, Inc. (PREFERRED) in 2006. PREFERRED is a network of therapist-owned physical, occupational and speech therapy clinics in private practice with over 1200 clinics nationwide. PREFERRED provides insurance contracts and many other benefits aimed to help private practices succeed, including marketing assistance, vendor discounts and support in the insurance industry. As part of joining PREFERRED's network, Simons Physical Therapy has met rigorous credentialing standards that are required by PREFERRED's contracted healthplans and insurance companies.

Because of it, the Steelers (7-3) and Bills (2-8) expect a far more interesting game today at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.
Tomlin, of course, made lineup changes that should work in the Steelers' favor down the homestretch and most likely into the playoffs. Tomlin not only changed his right guard and kicker, he activated a rookie receiver to return punts, promoted another rookie receiver to the No. 3/slot role, used 5-WR sets, and added more power to his running game. On defense, Tomlin brought up his corners to play more press coverage and had his strong safety move down into the box once again.
"Some of that stuff was just because of the way we matched up with the Raiders," said in-the-box strong safety Troy Polamalu. "But, yes, I prefer a more physical and aggressive game plan."
That may or may not be the script today in Buffalo. For certain, the 5-WR set will be scrapped and Antwaan Randle El will go back to returning punts due to rookie Antonio Brown's minor knee injury. The confidence that was restored in both the team and its coach last Sunday in the 35-3 win won't fade quickly for the Steelers.
Much the same can be said for the Bills, who rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat the Cincinnati Bengals by 18, a week after winning their first game of the season.
At halftime, Gailey benched the free safety who'd led the NFL in interceptions last year as a rookie, went to a juiced-up passing game, and read the riot act to his players.
"Coach was pretty fiery at halftime," said Bills linebacker Paul Posluszny. "Coach was definitely excited at halftime and that got us going."
The result was a second consecutive win and a jump in the team's overall confidence level.
"I really think that in the past couple of games we've learned how to win," Posluszny said. "When the game is on the line and it's the fourth quarter, we didn't have the confidence to win the game. Now that we've won a couple we're starting to build that. We still have a long way to go. We're still 2-8, there is no hiding that. But we feel like we're headed in the right direction."
Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has now thrown touchdown passes in 11 straight games and last week set career highs with 316 yards and 4 touchdowns.
"He's pretty smart. Where'd he go to school?" asked Steelers linebacker James Farrior, knowing full well Fitzpatrick went to Harvard. "I remember him a few years ago in Cincinnati. He did a pretty good job. He's a tough quarterback. We're going to have to have people in his face."
Fitzpatrick's No. 1 target is third-year wide receiver Steve Johnson, who caught 8 passes for 137 yards and 3 touchdowns last week. For the season, Johnson has 52 catches (or 40 more than in his previous two seasons combined) for 728 yards and 9 touchdowns. He's second in the NFL in third-down yardage.
"He's a tremendous receiver. We were sitting in the film room wondering why he wasn't playing his first year or two," said Steelers cornerback William Gay. "(Lee) Evens is their deep man and Johnson gets open and makes people miss."
In the backfield is Fred Jackson, who's rushed for 562 yards since replacing rookie C.J. Spiller and since-departed Marshawn Lynch on a full-time basis.
Up front, the Bills will miss right guard Eric Wood with leg injuries. He'll likely be replaced by former Steeler Kraig Urbik.
Defensively, the Bills' main problem is a lack of a pass rush. They're 29th in the NFL with only 15 sacks, but finished the Cincinnati game with two late in the game.
Even with the poor rankings and record, it's clear the Bills are beginning to gel under Gailey. He's the former Steelers offensive coordinator who was recommended to Bills management by Bill Cowher, the former Steelers coach who had also recommended to the Rooneys that Gailey succeed him in Pittsburgh.
"Our guys have continued to work and continued to get better," said Gailey. "It was great for them to be able to have something to show for and get that monkey off their back (two weeks ago). Then, to come back the way they did last week, it was a testament to the character of our football team."

An Aiken High School booster club official is accused of taking school money for personal use, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The president of the athletic booster club for Aiken High School noticed on Monday that Angela Beattie, the club treasurer, issued a check on Dec. 24 for $500, according to an incident report. The check was labeled as use for the "swim team," the report stated.
The club president, Edward Wendell, contacted the school swim coach and asked if they'd received the $500 for team use, the report stated. The coach said the team had not received money, nor had they requested it, according to the incident report.
Wendell then contacted Beattie, who admitted she'd written the check to her husband for "personal use," according to the report. Wendell went to Beattie's home and took possession of the checking account for the booster club and had Beattie's financial powers terminated, the report stated.
Beattie agreed to replace the money she took and returned all of the $500, police said. Wendell could not find any further discrepancies but will continue to confirm past checks issued by Beattie, the report said.
No charges have been filed against Beattie. A message left for Wendell was not returned by press time on Friday night.

For many years, the Super Bowl was a huge disappointment, bringing huge hype but resulting in a dull game.
However, "Championship Sunday," the day of the AFC and NFC Conference Championship Games, has brought some of the greatest games in NFL history.
They've also brought some of the most crushing and devastating disappointments, and not just to the city that lost, but to the fans of the NFL and viewers of the Super Bowl.
The following are a series of Conference Championship Games that, had they went the other way, would have given us a much better Super Bowl, and in some cases even a different Super Bowl winner.

If only the court system had acted as quickly as Randall County commissioners, this whole sewage problem in a rural county neighborhood wouldn't have become such a mess.
Two days after residents complained to commissioners about sewage running in the allies and streets of their subdivision, County Judge Ted Wood formally declared the situation a disaster. Plumbers were hired by the county, and they had the sewer line cleaned out by Thursday night.
Kudos to Wood and commissioners for acting swiftly in a matter that warranted such urgent decisiveness.
On Tuesday, residents of the Siesta Estates subdivision, which is located near the intersection of Interstate 27 and McCormick Road, implored commissioners to help them clean up the stagnant pools of sewage in the housing development. Commissioners listened, but didn't act, believing their hands were tied legally.
On Wednesday, Dr. J. Rush Pierce Jr., who is the health authority for Randall and Potter counties, declared the sewage problem a public health nuisance.
Now that the sewage has been cleaned up, it is time to figure out who owns the sewer lines and force them to take responsibility. That could prove to be difficult.
The ownership dispute has been raging for about three years.
Larry Borger, who owns the wastewater treatment plant that services Siesta Estates subdivision and two other housing developments, denies ownership of the sewer lines. Bruce Frank, who owns Siesta Estates Mobile Home Park, says Borger should fix the problem. Frank has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to declare that he is not the owner of his subdivision's sewer lines. The lawsuit is set for a hearing April 27.
In the meantime, residents of the three subdivisions hope their sewer lines don't get clogged again and that they don't have to call on the county to clean up the mess. We hope so, too.

Sarah is the author of My Best Everything, a love story steeped in moonshine. She has a MFA in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She lives with her family in San Diego, California.
Visit her online at sarahtomp.com, and pick up My Best Everything here!
(Fun fact: Sarah and I share an alma mater! Shout out to VCFA and high fives all around!)
Read on for Sarah Tomp's
Lulu Mendez is desperate to leave her small Virginia hometown in search of a better future. So, when her father loses her college tuition money, she and her friends cook up a scheme to make and sell moonshine using a still "borrowed" from the junkyard where she works. Looking for a guide into this secret world of illegal sales and dangerous rivalries, they turn to Mason, a boy with a troubled past and the skills to go with it.
My Best Everything is Lulu's letter to Mason—but is it an apology, a love letter, or a good-bye?
Music is a crucial part of My Best Everything. During the same summer when Lulu's world gets turned upside down and mixed up with making and selling moonshine, her best friend, Roni, is faced with a life-changing opportunity too; when she joins a band.
When talking about the first time she watches Roni sing, Lulu says, "I don't know notes or octaves or the difference between sharp and flat, but I know music makes everything more. If you're happy, music might make you ecstatic. Simple sad turns into heartbroken. And longing… well, that's what I was feeling that day. Impatient, uncertain, deep-down yearning…"And, later, reminding Mason about their first dance together, "There's something about country music that encourages stepping in close, no matter the tempo. As the notes and rhythms wrapped around us, I tuned myself to you. Your arm was something to hold on to. As easy as rolling along the river, we flowed away from everyone else. With our eyes locked on each other, I could hardly breathe. Breathing is overrated."
There were so many songs that helped set the mood for this love story steeped in moonshine. Way too many to include them all! Today I'm sharing a few key songs and the reasons they're exactly right for this book's soundtrack.
- MINE WOULD BE YOU ~ Blake Shelton
- If I could only pick one song, this would be the one. I think the lyrics sum up the love story of Lulu and Mason, perfectly.
- "My best day ever/My finest hour, my wildest dream come true / Mine would be you / What's the greatest chapter in your book / Are there pages where it hurts to look? / What's the one regret you can't work through? / You got it, baby, mine would be you."
- WOULD YOU GO WITH ME? ~ Josh Turner
- Josh Turner's voice is how I imagine Grungie, the lead singer for Lullaby Breaker, sounds. Thunder-rumble, toe-curling deep.
- KISS ME ~ Sixpence None the Richer
- I love the hypnotic and dreamy mood of being out in the dark night under the stars and moon. Plus, Lulu waits a long time for Mason to finally kiss her.
- LOOKS LIKE LOVE ~ NeedToBreathe
- Two reasons for including this song: It's all about being afraid of love and not being able to say those three words—that's Lulu, most definitely. But also, seeing this band play helped form my vision of Roni's band.
- MOONSHINE ~ Sara Haze
- The title, obviously, but, also, these lines specifically: "Grab a mason jar of fireflies to be our light/Look in my eyes, you've got the moon, I've got the shine."
- BRIGHT ~ Echosmith
- This song captures that magical floaty feeling of being young and in love in the summertime, when all that matters in the whole wide universe is that special person next to you.
- HOME ~ Phillip Phillips
- I love the idea that we can make home anywhere, especially if we're with the right person. And this line is one that Lulu needs to hear: "If you get lost, you can always be found."
Good luck on the YA Scavenger Hunt! When you stop by my blog, where I'm hosting the fabulous Lynne Matson, be sure to enter to win a copy of My Best Everything and an iTunes gift card—so you can make your own playlist!
Thanks, Sarah!

Now, hunters, keep going. Did you find the secret, 3-digit number? That begins with a seven and ends with a zero? And has a zero in the middle? Did you write it 700 times on your notebook so you wouldn't forget it? Excellent. You're one step closer to finding all the numbers for Team Teal, adding them together, and entering the giveaway.

Vazquez Jr-Oquendo On? Rivera Says Marquez Not Out
EDITOR'S NOTE: Peter Rivera, PRBBP Vice-President, said from Las Vegas that he is in contact with Marquez's promoters and "they never told us that Marquez will not fight. The fight is on for October 6".
By Damián "Zafa" Ferrer and Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com has been advised that the super bantamweight showdown between former champions Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (21-2-1, 18KOs) and Rafael Marquez has been cancelled.
They were originally scheduled to fight in August before Marquez injured his hand and the fight was rescheduled for October 6th. BoxingScene first reported the fight was jeopard earlier this week, when news broke that Marquez fell ill from a stomach virus.
The card will however still proceed on October 6th. Bantamweight contender Jonathan Oquendo (22-2, 15KOs) will step in and now face Vazquez in an all Puerto Rican battle. Oquendo was originally scheduled to fight a tuneup on the card and former 105/108 pound champion Ivan Calderon will face WBO minimumweight champion Moises Fuentes in the co-featured fight.

Published: August 26, 2013 - 11:11 PM
FORT HOOD, TEXAS: A soldier left for dead after being shot in the head. A widow whose two sons won't have their father to take them fishing or teach them how to be gentlemen. A grieving father who includes himself and his unborn grandson in the death toll of the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
Survivors of the attack and relatives of those killed testified Monday during the final phase of Maj. Nidal Hasan's trial. Prosecutors hope the emotional testimony — from sobbing widows, distraught parents and paralyzed soldiers — helps convince jurors to impose a rare military death sentence on Hasan, who was convicted last week of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others at the Texas military base.
The sentencing phase also will be Hasan's last chance to tell jurors what he's spent the last four years telling the military, judges and journalists: that the killing of unarmed American soldiers preparing to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan was necessary to protect Muslim insurgents. But whether he plans to address jurors remains unclear.
Staff Sgt. Patrick Ziegler was among the first to testify, telling jurors how he was shot four times and underwent emergency surgery that removed about 20 percent of his brain. Doctors initially expected him to die or remain in a vegetative state.
Ziegler was hospitalized for about 11 months and had 10 surgeries. He is now paralyzed on his left side, unable to use his left hand, and blind spots in both eyes prevent him from driving.
"I think I'm hopeful I'll continue to recover some movement, but eventually I'll succumb to my wounds and I won't be able to function," Ziegler said.
The married father said he has trouble caring for his 10-month-old son, "like a normal father would," and described his cognitive level as that of a 10th or 11th grader. He also said he has fought severe depression.
"I'm a lot angrier and lot darker than I used to be," he said.
Shoua Her wiped away tears as she recalled how she and her husband, Pfc. Kham Xiong, talked about growing old together and having more children. Now, she said, their children know their slain father only through memories and stories.
"Our daughter will not have her dad to walk her down the aisle. My two sons will never have their dad to take them fishing or [teach them] sports or how to be a gentleman.
"I miss him a lot," she added. "I miss his soft, gentle hands. How he holds me. He made me feel safe and secure. Now the other side of the bed is empty and cold. I feel dead but yet alive."
As she testified, one juror, a male officer, fought back tears.
Juan Velez, the father of Pvt. Francheska Velez, said his family hasn't come to grips with her death. His 21-year-old daughter was pregnant, and several witnesses testified about hearing her cry, "My baby! My baby!" during the attack.
"That man did not just kill 13, he killed 15. He killed my grandson [Velez's unborn child] and myself," he said in Spanish. "It hurt me to the bottom of my soul."
The hearing ended for the day after a dozen people testified. Other widows, mothers, children and siblings of the slain also are expected to testify this week.
At the minimum, the 42-year-old Hasan will spend the rest of his life in prison.

Is This The New Gold iPhone 5S?
Photos purporting to show the shell of a forthcoming gold iPhone model leaked onto a Japanese website early Thursday.
1. Apple reportedly is preparing to release a new gold, or what some are calling "champagne," colored iPhone model next month.
2. The new device will be introduced at an Apple event on Sept. 10, the Wall Street Journal reported.
3. The back of the new device may feature a thinner font in the "iPhone" inscription, possibly a style cue from the software's dramatic redesign in iOS 7, which is set to ship at the same time.
4. Aside from the new color (and possibly font) the phone appears to be identical in design to the current iPhone 5 model.

IRVING, Texas -- On Wednesday I had my first chat of the offseason, and it's something we hope to feature weekly. In case you missed it, click here to take a look at what was asked and what was answered.
HappyGilmour (yes, I know that's not his real name, but he's asking good questions in our chats) said the Dallas Cowboys haven't had a good secondary since they had Deion Sanders, and wonders if it is that hard to evaluate cornerbacks and safeties.
Here's what I said:
You can't say they haven't tried. They drafted Roy Williams in the first round and paid him a big contract. They gave Ken Hamlin a big deal after he made the Pro Bowl. Neither one of those contracts worked out. They drafted Terence Newman in the first round as well as Mike Jenkins and traded up to get Mo Claiborne. They signed Anthony Henry and Brandon Carr to big-time contracts. They've tried but the results have not always worked out ... or still are in the process of working out. It should not be that hard to evaluate corners and safeties, but switching schemes and having corners with certain attributes playing a different style might not have been the smartest decision.
Some of the other topics:
The future of DeMarco Murray.
Drafting Aaron Donald.
Whether players who have cashed in should voluntarily take less money.
The future of Jason Witten.

WHEN HILLARY CLINTON WENT ON the Today show Jan. 27 to defend her husband, viewers could hardly fail to notice the glint in her eye—and the sparkle on her lapel, where she had pinned a gold-plated eagle perched on an imitation pearl. Then the $75 brooch began cropping up on other power suits. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna E. Shalala wore hers to the President's State of the Union address, while presidential secretary Betty Currie donned one to testify before Kenneth Starr's grand jury.
"I wear it often for presidential events," says Ann Lewis, director of White House communications. "It's a way of identifying with the Clintons." That suits the pin's creator, Ann Hand, 64, whose attorney husband, Lloyd, was LBJ's protocol chief—with one caveat. "It's wonderful if people want to wear it in their honor," she says. "But the eagle is our national symbol. It belongs to everyone."
Then again, Mrs. Clinton, who got the pin as a gift in '93 from former Miss America Phyllis George, may need hers more than most. The eagle, says Hand, "gives you strength."
A mother of five, Hand turned to jewelry design in 1988 as "a way of recovery" after her son Thomas died in a car accident at age 27. But the Houston native, who has sold more than 12,000 pins since 1992 (there is also a $5,500 18-karat gold version) through her private catalog and on QVC, still can't believe how high her eagle has soared. "Never did I dream," says Hand, "I would have my own career."

Hope they find a new home to be as loved as they were here!

Welcome to Duvall Books!
After 40 years of selling used books, we have decided to retire. We are selling EVERYTHING: books, art, ephemera, bookcases, chairs, etc.
Our plan is to start with 10% off everything and decrease the price by 10% every two weeks. We will close the store when there's not enough to stay open, probably by the end of summer.
As of May 1st, we will no longer be accepting books. We will honor existing credit in our files.
We want to express our sincere appreciation to each and everyone of our loyal customers throughout the years. It's been a great ride; you never know who (or what book) will come through the door. Never a dull moment! It's given us a chance to meet some remarkable folks.
Our store wouldn't be what it's been without the input, help and support of each of our employees and longtime friends.
Many, many thanks and best wishes to them all.
Vicki and Mike Elledge
We are open seven days a week, 10 am to 5:30 pm.
We are closed on New Years Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
