University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
To determine the use of coccidioidal serology in evaluating the cause of pulmonary masses or nodules.
At the Tucson VA hospital, we retrospectively reviewed 142 needle biopsies or aspirations (FNA) of pulmonary nodules or masses from July 2001 through June 2003 and concomitant serologic studies (within 3 months) of the FNA. The serologic studies were immunodiffusion tube precipitin antibody (IDTP), immunodiffusion complement fixation antibody (IDCF) and complement fixation titers to Coccidioides antigen. We also reviewed all 86 additional persons diagnosed with pulmonary coccidioidomycosis during the same period.
Of the 142 persons with FNA, all had negative serology. Eighteen had coccidioidomycosis, 92 had cancer, 40 had non-diagnostic FNA and one had histoplasmosis. Of the 86 other persons with pulmonary coccidioidomycosis all were positive by IDCF testing except three who had positive IDTP. Eighteen had a mass or nodule, 38 had pneumonia, 3 had hilar adenopathy, 8 had single cavities, 9 had diffuse disease, and 10 had chronic fibrocavitary disease. Of the 18 persons with a coccidioidal mass or nodule (and positive serology), 9 were know to be post-primary coccidioidal pneumonia. For the other 9, the nodule or mass was of unknown cause. The positive serologic test was evidence that the lesion was due to coccidioidal infection. With over one year follow-up, there was no indication of growth or other evidence of neoplastic disease in these 9 individuals.
Coccidioidal serology is used to evaluate patients with lung nodules or masses in an endemic area. Persons with negative serology are often referred for lung FNA when there is suspicion of cancer. Persons with a positive serology are presumed to have coccidioidal infection as the etiology of the mass or nodule. Although patients with coccidioidal nodules may have negative serology, no patient with cancer had positive serology.
Coccidioidal serology is useful in evaluating lung nodules and masses where coccidioidomycosis is endemic. A positive serologic test for antiboidy is used to help diagnose coccidioidal etiology and to exclude cancer.

The title is a reference to parachutes that fail to open.[1] Streamers originally was a one-act play entitled Knives Rabe completed in the late 1960s prior to writing the first two-thirds of his trilogy. While working as a journalist in New Haven, Connecticut, he expanded it into a full-length play. Under the direction of Mike Nichols, it premiered at the Long Wharf Theatre on January 30, 1976.[2] The cast included Herbert Jefferson, Jr. as Roger, Peter Evans as Richie, John Heard as Billy, Joe Fields as Carlyle, Dolph Sweet as Cokes, and Kenneth McMillan as Rooney.[3]

The number of citizens trained as first responders during a natural or man-made disaster continues to grow in Harris County, with 157 Community Emergency Response Teams, or CERT teams, now active in our area. Houston Public Radio's Jack Williams has more.
Nearly 4,000 residents of Harris County are now CERT-trained, the fourth most behind the entire states of California, New Jersey and Florida. During an 8-week course, they're trained in basic emergency response, things like debris removal and how to take care of their own homes and property. Mark Sloan is the director of the Harris County Citizen Corps.
"Citizens need to understand that they play a role in response, that by taking care of themselves and their families, protecting their property, they will survive whatever it is that we may face. Those citizens will eventually step through that front door and say what can I do to help? Like we saw during Katrina, over 60,000 volunteers came to the Dome to support those from New Orleans and many of them had gone through the Citizen Corps programs."
Sloan says CERT-trained citizens are usually more confident during a disaster and can actually be assets to traditional first responders, like police and fire. He says nobody fails the free CERT course, which takes about three hours once a week.
"This is an awareness course. You are taking responsibility for yourself and your family. That's what we want you do to. We want you to survive whatever it is we may face, from a home fire to a catastrophic event that overwhelms our local responders. You can make a difference. You need to make preparedness a priority within your families."
Because of recent Homeland Security Funding, the CERT program has now expanded to several surrounding counties and continues to grow. Jackie Miller is with the Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security and says it only makes sense that citizens be well-versed on how to help themselves and their neighbors in the event of a disaster.
"About 95-percent of the people who respond first to any kind of a disaster, accident, incident is either the victim, a bystander. First responders can't get there fast-enough, it's someone who is right there at the scene. In many cases they're the ones that report to first responders that here's sort of the scene so that when first responders get there they kind of already have the layout."
The CERT training ends with a disaster simulation which allows residents to practice what they've learned. You can find more information about CERT training through a link on our website, KUHF.org.

We, the Sparky Army, decree 2008 to be the Year of the Spark. We pledge to post a new sparky story or chapter of a sparky story every day from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. Though the Powers that Be have removed Elizabeth Weir from the regular cast of Stargate Atlantis, we feel that she remains an integral part of the show, and that the relationship between her and John Sheppard is too obvious to be ignored. We hope that you, and anyone who might happen to read these works, agree.
And if that isn't official enough for you, we don't know what is. Seriously, guys, we're just trying to have some fun--and show TPTB that Sparky is the way to go. So sit back and enjoy the 366 stories coming your way!
Authors Note (Hannah554): This just kind of popped into my head, a little bit of Rodney not being completely oblivious. I hope you enjoy it.
A Not So Hidden Romance
By Hannah554
There were two reasons Rodney McKay was annoyed at the moment and had been in a constant state of annoyed for the passed couple of days. The first one was not uncommon; in fact it had been a source of great irritation for him since the day they had arrived in the Pegasus galaxy, John Sheppard. Strangely enough he wasn't even the big contributor to Rodney's irritation, in fact at the moment he wasn't really doing much wrong. The other and bigger reason was a little more surprising, something that didn't pop up on his list of reasons to be annoyed very often and that was Elizabeth Weir.
The two leaders of Atlantis were sleeping together, it was obvious but the two of them maintained the charade of professionalism that everyone knew to be completely and totally false. Anyone with more than single brain cell – and perhaps even those with just one if they really put it to use – could see that the relationship between John and Elizabeth went way beyond the professional and had done since long before they jumped into bed together.
Knowing both of them as well as he liked to think he did, Rodney could pin point exactly when they had started sleeping together. It was shortly after they had returned from earth, back when they had just regained contact and John had just been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Something about that trip had changed Elizabeth, she'd seemed free of something, of something that previously been holding her back. Her flirting with Sheppard and turned up a notch, from harmless to serious and there'd been an increase in the number of times the two of them would just stare at each other, having a silent conversation that only they could understand.
He knew without a doubt that it had been two weeks after they returned to the city that their relationship had changed, gone from friends to something more. Personal space had never really had a huge amount of meaning to them but suddenly it seemed to have no meaning at all. They'd occasionally disappear together but those incidents were rare, they were seen together far more often than they had before, often arriving for meetings together and their ability to read each other seemed to be perfected.
People liked to say Rodney wasn't all that perceptive, that he could be completely oblivious to the goings on around him and he had to admit, there was some truth to that. John and Elizabeth were a
different matter though, he cared about both of them and he'd seen this coming since almost day one. He'd noticed how things had changed, how they'd found their balance between Elizabeth's more diplomatically inclined mind and John's military one, how they'd changed each other.
He'd respected their privacy, never let on that he knew anything just as the rest of Atlantis had but now it was just ridiculous. Another mission gone badly which seemed to be the norm for their team, John had been captured though his damn heroics had saved the rest of the team who'd returned to Atlantis to deliver the news. It had been Teyla who'd informed Elizabeth and the diplomat's face had faltered for a brief second before she covered it back up, afraid of showing too much concern.
A rescue team, including Ronon, Teyla and Rodney, had gone in to find John being held in some sort of prison. Not a nice prison either, a whole bunch of mean looking men with almost as much muscle as Ronon and no qualms about using them to inflict some pain on the newbie. John had been in pretty bad shape when they'd found him, cuts and bruises all over the place but the big problem had been the stab wound in his side. The bleeding had stopped, the blood clotting around the wound but John had been half unconscious and completely dazed from blood loss.
They'd gotten him out, the team having to use up a fair few bullets and Teyla had been hit over the head by an overly grabby inmate. Ronon had taken care of the man and his roaming appendages, as two of Lorne's men carried John out of the prison, doing their best not to tear open the wound in his side.
The puddle jumper had been parked not far from the prison; John had spent the entire journey back to Atlantis drifting in and out of consciousness. He spoke only three times though, each time it was the same choked, whispered word... Elizabeth.
He'd been rushed off to the infirmary the second the Jumper was safely in the Jumper bay. Elizabeth had of course been there waiting for them and she had accompanied John's team to the infirmary, her eyes filled with a concern that the rest of her was trying to hide. Ronon and Teyla had given her a brief summary of what had happened on the planet as Carson and the rest of the medical staff did their best to fix John up.
It wasn't until Carson announced that John should be fine that Elizabeth had relaxed at all. She'd stuck around the infirmary for a little while, trying not to hold the unconscious John's hand or any of the other things someone would do when the person they loved was injured and unconscious in an infirmary bed. She'd muttered something about having work to do and to let her know when he woke up, she'd left the infirmary then and that had been several hours ago.
Rodney found her in her office, staring at the wall opposite her, the report on her desk untouched as she sat there pretending she wasn't as worried as she was. She was so focused on whatever thoughts were running through her head that she didn't notice him when he walked into her office. He coughed, drawing her attention to him and she looked at him, her face completely neutral but her eyes betraying her worry. She shouldn't be here, she didn't even want to be here, she wanted to be in the infirmary, sitting next to John, holding his hand and talking to him, telling him to wake up and get his report done.
"Go and sit with him," Rodney said, it came out more like an order than he had intended it to but if it got the point across then he wasn't going to complain. Elizabeth looked at him in confusion which
only added to his irritation; did she honestly believe that no one knew, that their close friends didn't know? "Sheppard, go and sit with him."
"I have work to do," she replied, her voice lacking any energy "I'll probably stop by to see him later."
She said it so casually, like she was talking about any member of the expedition, an acquaintance who barely made it into the friend category, she showed more concern when it was him in the infirmary instead of John.
"He kept calling for you," Rodney told her, way beyond the point where he was willing to be subtle. "On the way back from the prison, the only thing he said was your name and it probably took a considerable amount of effort to say anything at all."
Elizabeth looked speechless and it was a rare thing indeed that Elizabeth Weir didn't know what to say, words were her thing but it seemed John Sheppard was one of the few things that could take that away.
"We know and no one will even bat an eye lash if you were to go down there and proclaim your undying love for him cos we've all been expecting it from the beginning," Rodney told her, a slight exaggeration, there would probably be a few raised eyebrows but the only surprise would come from the fact that she'd admitted to it.
"He kept calling for you," Rodney repeated "Do you really want him to wake up and you're not there?"
Elizabeth still seemed to be at a loss for words but she didn't actually need any, she merely smiled, a small, tired, grateful gesture as she stood up and left her office. Rodney watched her go with a sigh, his work here was done... and everyone thought he was bad with people?

Mombasa, 24th of August 1845
The world was blurred through tear stained eyes. The acrid stench of burning cloth filled her nostrils even as the charcoal vapours choked her lungs. Volcanic demons were dancing all around; tearing apart the world of the circus. A layer of sweat was forming quickly on her skin beneath the leather of her attire; mixing in several places with the crimson liquid streaming from various fresh wounds.
Zara dragged herself across the floor. Her fingers closed around the hilt of her curved blade. Ezra and the girl were nowhere to be seen. The rest of her equipment was burning in a pile to her left. She was on her own. Coughing through the hot ash, she struggled to one knee and peered through the haze. The rafters had fallen down and now blocked the path to the exit. Zara cowered away from an explosion behind her, before finally rising to her feet and stumbling forward. She covered her mouth with her free arm, and proceeded with her blade held out in front of her.
Navigating the debris strewn shell of the circus proved to be difficult. She needed the fresh air that the outside would grant her; consciousness was slipping away. After a further fit of coughing which brought up a mixture of phlegm and blood, Zara ran for it. She dodged around the fallen rafters, and shielded herself from the worst of the fire. Flames licked at her limbs; searing her flesh and burning the ends of her hair as it streamed behind her.
As she dived through the opening and into the cool night air, a further explosion behind her brought the rest of the circus crashing down. As she drank in the sweet oxygen, Zara quickly checked herself. Her clothes were torn and shredded, her flesh cut and burned. She had become a dishevelled pile of blood, sweat and ash. When she got to her feet, she noticed her ankle sprain for the first time. Without the adrenaline of escaping, the pain was obvious.
Zara grimaced and set off down the street; dragging her injured ankle with her. As she passed through the marketplace, she saw further evidence of the carnage. People were streaming in from the circus, all in various stages of disarray and health. A group ahead caught her eye. They were gathered around the carcass of a man; a man whose throat had been ripped clean from his body. The tiger. Zara shuffled toward them.
"Where?" she asked. An elderly woman glanced at her through wide eyes. She pointed to a nearby alley that was half concealed by the cube-shaped building in front of it, before scampering away. Zara focused her eyes on the alley. She tore a length of cloth from the canopy of a nearby stall and tied it around one of her deeper wounds in her left thigh. The blood-flow stopped. "Now only ninety percent of me hurts" she said.
She made her way around the market, and took a deep breath before turning into the alley. They were all there before her. Ezra stood with his back to her; bearing down on the girl and her tiger. Zara could see Molly's mouth opening and closing without a sound. Her eyes were continuously widening, and she was taking steps backwards. The tiger held its ground; but it was clearly awaiting its master's command; which was not forthcoming.
As she entered the alley, he brother sensed her presence. "Sister" he said, without turning. "You would be wise to stop now, before our situation becomes unsalvageable".
"I cannot do that, brother" Zara said. Ezra half turned; keeping both Zara and the girl and her beast in his field of vision. He was looking decidedly less injured than Zara, with only a small wound on his head clearly visible.
"You are injured, dear sister. What do you hope to achieve?"
"Even injured I am better than you" Zara said.
"Not when you are this injured".
Zara glanced past him and locked eyes with the mechanical girl. "Run" she said. The girl went nowhere. She was frozen to the spot. Ezra turned his head toward her.
"Just give me a moment dearie" he said. "My sister is being an annoyance. Let me deal with her, and I'll be right with you". He turned and faced Zara fully, sliding his blades from his sleeves. "I would never have thought you would betray your own blood for a freak". He took a step towards her. "I really do not want to kill you sister" he said. "I'm quite fond of you".
"To stop me, you will have to kill me" she said, gritting her teeth. Zara rolled her ankle gently. It hurt, but she thought she would be able to move on it.
"And to stop me, you will have to kill me" he said. He launched himself at her. Zara brought her blade swinging up, and Ezra's two met it in the shape of an X.

Right At HomeMature
Marty points his finger at the man being held out of the window. "He, my friends!" Marty yells to the watching crowd, "is a six year old girl!"
This makes a large impression on the members of the police force and some appear mildly confused, others look like Kindergarten teachers hearing foul language, and others are intelligently surprised. But the man currently with a gun against his head has a far greater impression.
"Maaan, what have you been smokin'?" cries the six year old girly man.
Marty's eyes go wide. "What…have I…" And then a look comes across his face as if he has just cracked the largest mystery since Scooby-Doo uncovered Frank Abagnale.
"Now why would you ask such a question?" he demands of the criminal. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about smoking drugs would you?"
The man spits vehemently, not realizing that there is a SWAT team standing beneath the window. And then he says, "I have a gun against my head, and you're asking stupid questions!"
"I am not concerned for your safety," Marty says. The police force lets it be known with gasps and whispers that they feel this is rather backwards, seeing as how Marty is completely ignoring the man with the gun and speaking only to the hostage. But Marty only wishes to shock them before he does his clever explanation.
"And the reason I am not concerned, is because I know that your accomplice is not going to pull the trigger. Why would he kill his friend?--his friend who can mimic the voice of a six year old girl!"
"Now how the fuck could you make a connection like that?" swears the supposed hostage.
"I am good with voices," Marty says. "I keep my ears open for talented voice actors. It's hard to find voices like yours. All the film industries sweep them up and get them milking puppet goats on Big Binky's Children Show.
"Oh yes, and I can also tell when someone is lying. Especially when I can also tell that it is a 26 year old black man trying to sound like a six year old girl. And it would seem highly unlikely that you would make that voice for kicks and giggles. Some might do such a thing, but this is neither the time nor place. No! You did it because you wanted to fool the police and help the man who has the gun to your head. Because he is your accomplice!"
"You are completely nuts," complains the black man. "Why can't I just deal with the regular police?"
"Because you are in more trouble than that! I have been watching you," Marty says. "I have evidence of you creeping into that very yard!" Marty cries, pointing to his neighbor's house.
The black man lets his mouth open but no words come out. "Evidence, eh?" he asks. "What possible evidence could you have?"
"Take a look at the surveillance equipment set up in the very room you stand within."
The police are amazed at these words, but doubly amazed at the expression that suddenly comes across the man's face. And as the man with the gun pulls his accomplice back inside with a violent tug and both men disappear from view, Marty feels like taking a bow beneath the stares from the officers.
"Next piece of business," declares Marty, "Would be to swarm the building with the SWAT team and put them both in cuffs."
"Do you think it's safe to say that they don't have a hostage?" asks the commanding officer.
"Oh for sure," says Marty in a casual voice, slipping past the police line. "In fact," he says cheerily, "it is now safe to walk right up the front walk."
No one stops him this time, and he walks up his front steps as if he was arriving home after a simple day at the office. He pulls out his key, slips it into the lock, and jiggles it around as if it was nothing put a nail. After a lengthy moment of careful lock-picking with a key, he 'busts' the door open and proceeds into the living room. The police force is further impressed.
Then he climbs the stairs. When he reaches the top, he pulls out the two guns that he'd taken from the masked men. Perhaps they will prove to come in handy.
He speaks in a calm voice. "I have two guns. And I suggest you drop your own and come out with your hands on your heads."
He hears some swearing from the bedroom. "How did you get in?" asks the first.
"What do you want?" asks the other.
"I want to ask a few questions. The first: why are you in this house?"
"I thought you knew everything," complains the original man with the gun. "Why all questioning now, eh? Now you don't have your audience."
Marty frowns. "Alright. I'll offer some of what I know if you fill in the gaps."
"No promises," returns the black man.
"Well, here we go then. You were hired to spot something that was in the neighbor's house. You were hired by a rich-ass guy with a deep-throated voice. I am already tracking the man who hired you. What I want to know is what he wanted you to spot."
"We're not working for that nut any more."
"Shut up!" says the other. "We're not going to tell you a thing!" he cries to cover his accomplice.
"So this artifact is obviously rather priceless right? Because it sounds like you now want to steal it for yourself."
There is a silence from the room. But Marty can hear them breathing.
"You know that this artifact can sell for a lot right? It is a regularly sold item, is it? You don't have any…doubts, do you?"
This is enough, and the black man cracks. "No! We are not stealing anything. The guy in that house is a geek with a pile of worthless collectibles from some disturbing set of productions."
"Okay, well you are an intelligent lot then for making a decision like that. I mean, it's quite a risk to steal something that could very well be a worthless piece of junk. So what else do you know about this set of productions? How is it…disturbing?" asks Marty, taking a few more steps down the hall toward the bedroom.
"It's fucked up, that's what it is. You don't want to know what goes on in those things."
Marty grimaces, remembering the grotesque masks. "I can imagine. What sort of things though?"
"Man! Stop digging into that! I don't want to tell you a thing about it."
"Are these actions on stage illegal in most states and present only in dungeon theatres and the banned side of the internet?"
"And that is where they'll stay!" cries the man, likely crossing himself and murmuring a few prayers to ward off the demons.
Marty nods. "Right. Now let's skip all of that and get to the next set of business. I am going to arrest you for illegal drug smuggling. How does that sound compared to the alternative?"
The men give a few confused whispers and then the black man speaks. "How would that make any sense?"
"You'll understand soon enough. You see, those police are getting in the way of a much larger case I'm working on here. So I want to divert their attention by putting their minds on drugs."
"Ha," says the gunman. "It sounds like you're saying…nevermind."
Marty nods. "Precisely. So, here is the plan. You two are going to get off very easily because of me. And that means that I want you to drop this whole thievery thing. At least, don't ever go near the house next door ever again. How does that sound?"
The two men go into an intense huddle full of urgent whispering.
"You know," Marty says. "I doubt you really have much time to make a decision. The SWAT team is about to come through the window with bells on."
"Okay, tell us how you are going to pull this one?"
"I want you to come peacefully with me, and I want you…to act…completely mental."
There's a drawn out silence, and then a laugh. "What?" they ask.
"Here's the story. You were creeping around the neighbor's house because he is a customer of yours. That is all he is. A customer. You are drug dealers. But now you've become addicted to your own substance. And it's bad."
"What kind of drug are we supposed to pretend to be on?"
Marty laughs. "It is a drug the police have only ever heard rumors of. So you get to make it up. You get to go…nuts. I will explain everything to the police. Why you're in this room. Why you're screaming like a little girl. It'll all make sense. And it's all because you're both high…on Puckzee."
He can hear the two of them shiver. "So that's it, is it? You, Mr. Know-it-all Secret Agent, is going to make a deal with two criminals in order to fool the police by spinning a tale about imaginary drugs?"
"Exactly," Marty says, "Except for the secret agent part. Now drop the guns and put on your insane faces."
The two men complain to one another for a moment. Marty hears a few fearful whispers, and he realizes just how deep these two men are in unfamiliar territory. They're probably gas station robbers.
Finally they come out of the room in peace. They see the guns that Marty is holding and they gawk. "Those guns!" says the first man. "Those are collectibles."
"Yes," Marty says, "And there are more where these came from if you follow my lead."
"Wait. Did you say you weren't a secret agent?"
"Too late now. Come on now, I know what I'm doing. Whoever I am, I am going to get you out of this situation as best I can." Marty directs them to the stairs, and they finally begin to shuffle their feet.
"Hey now," Marty says. "You're both on drugs, remember? You, the one with the little girl voice, kick it into next gear. And you, just act stupid. It shouldn't be a stretch."
The two criminals complain as they stomp down the stairs, but they put on goofy expressions, and by the time they reach the door they're stumbling into each other.
"Stand back!" Marty cries to the police line. "These men do not know what they're doing."
The two men stumble into each other and let out a shrill laugh. The black man starts talking like a six-year-old on helium and espresso. The other man giggles and falls over. Marty beams with pride.
"I knew this would happen," Marty curses.
"What?" asks the commanding officer. "What the hell is going on? What is wrong with these men?"
Marty makes a hand gesture to the police officer who had given him a ride. He makes a ridiculous cartoon face. Then he says, "These men are drug smugglers. The next door neighbor is a simple-minded customer who does not even know what this…new…drug even is. These two men have unfortunately begun to take a trip on their own substance. So they stumbled into the wrong house, made a ruckus, and got the police involved.
"Now, as you can all see," Marty waves his hand at the two men who are currently abandoning their full dignity and galloping back and forth across the yard making animal noises. "The drugs have moved them into the frightening stage two. This is where their rash decision making turns into absurd hallucination and identity confusion."
The commanding officer steps up to the plate. "Are you trying to tell me that these two…gentlemen…are on drugs?"
"Yes," Marty says.
"What in blooming hell kind of drug would do this to a man?" The officer is horrified that such a thing could happen to a man. Because these are obviously no longer men.
"If you do not know the name of this new drug then you are blessed indeed. But I have been working on this case for ages. Unfortunately, these two are simple delivery boys. I am still working on uncovering the real conspiracy behind this. The two masked men were deep into the same thing. If you want the gruesome details of this drug, you may want to ask around. There are members of your force who know a thing or two."
Marty gives a conspicuous wink to the officer he set up with the rumors. Everyone turns, but he was too fast, and they are not certain to who the wink was directed.
And then Marty grabs the two men and says, "I think these two should be let off rather easy. They're going through a rough time."
The commanding officer frowns. "Your performance has been all rather impressive sir, but you surely don't think you can take over this case. All of the officers here have invested their time and energy, and the regular process to determine the guilt of these two fellows will be followed."
And just at this moment, Marty sees someone and waves, completely ignoring this butting up of authority. The round and square faced officers arrive just as the two criminals are being put into cuffs and Marty is standing to the side.
"Marty!" the square faced one cries, "I am terribly sorry." He shakes his head. "Sorry you had to go through all of this. We'll make sure you are paid in full for your inconveniences."
Marty smiles. Perfect word choice. Of course, these officers do not realize that Marty was the one to detain the two criminals. They're just worried about his home and safety and their deal with the surveillance post. And the square faced one is also very worried about that complicated contract. He isn't sure, but his first born might have been on the line there.
And then, to make this impression even better, the round faced one turns to the commanding officer. "I hope you have treated our friend here with care and made sure he has everything he needs. We would be in some frightful trouble if anything happened to him. This place is his home you know."
The square faced one punches Marty on the shoulder. "Ah yes, our good friend here, helping us out when we most need it."
Marty grins. "I do what I can," he says. "And I really am at home here." He nods at the commanding officer. "This is my place," he stresses. "Not your place."
Marty looks to the square faced one just to over do it. "Right? This is my place, eh? I own this place. And all these cops, they don't need to stick their noses into any of this. Eh? Eh?"
The square faced one looks confused, nods, and then widens his eyes. "Right! Terribly sorry about all of this. We will all be leaving right now, and leaving you in peace and quiet to clean the up in there. I hope those two criminals didn't leave too much of a mess."
The officer turns to the rest of the troop. "Everyone move out! Marty needs some space and privacy to clean up after these criminals."
He turns to Marty. "Everything will be left to you." Then he says to the commanding officer who is about to protest, "We have a deal with Marty. He's been helping us out so much." The officer winks at Marty, and pushes the commander away.
Marty stands on his driveway and laughs until all the cops have rounded the last corner. Then he walks back up his lawn, shaking his head. And that is when, out of the corner of his eye, he spots a watching face from next door. He freezes, but the furry, burgundy curtains have fallen still.
Marty scratches his head. That mystery will have to wait. Yes, most certainly. It is time for a break. And some inventory. Mental inventory.

What's not to like? To be sure, the economy hasn't yet picked up from the 2% pace that has prevailed for the duration of this rather long recovery, but business and consumer optimism is up significantly in recent months, and that combined with Trump's tax and regulatory reform proposals, if passed, would almost certainly result in a stronger economy. Things could be better, but they aren't half bad—except for the growing threat of a nuclear NoKo and radical Islamic terrorism. For my money, NoKo is the darkest cloud on the horizon. Unfortunately, there's not much an investor can do in the face of that kind of uncertainty.
Here are some charts which put some meat on the story:
The chart above compares the inflation-adjusted current Fed funds target rate (blue) to what the market expects that rate to average over the next 5 years (red). This is effectively a picture of how the real yield curve has evolved over time and is expected to evolve. Recessions are almost always preceded by a flat to inverted real yield curve, because that is the market's way of saying that monetary policy is too tight and it is hurting the economy. Today the market is saying that the Fed will probably raise the real funds rate another couple of times over the next year or two, but not by much more. That tells me the market is not pricing in a robust economy, nor is it predicting a weaker economy, since that would call for a reduction in the real funds rate. It's more a prediction of "steady and slow as she goes."
Note also the all-time low in real 5-yr yields in March 2013, when they fell to almost -1.8%. That was a sign that the market was extremely pessimistic. We've come a long way since then, but real yields are still very low from an historical perspective.
As the chart above shows, 5-yr real yields are still right around zero, where they've been for several years now. It's not a coincidence, I would argue, that real GDP growth has been stuck at 2% for about the same length of time. Translation: the market doesn't see much if any improvement for the foreseeable future. This is not an optimistic market.
Credit Default Swap spreads are a little tighter than they were in March 2013, despite higher real yields and a flatter yield curve. They've been tighter before (e.g., in the late 2000s).
The chart above compares the yield on a variety of assets as of March 31, 2013 (when real yields hit their all-time lows and Fed policy was effectively extremely easy) and as of today (red). Note that short-term yields have risen much more than longer-term yields, resulting in a flatter yield curve. Note also that yields on REITS, BAA bonds and equities have declined even as the Fed has tightened and market yields have risen. All of this is pretty straightforward, right out of the textbooks. Tighter money flattens the yield curve, and when it's not too tight it's good for most asset classes because a positively-sloped yield curve is symptomatic of a reasonably healthy economy. The Fed is not threatening anybody these days.
The dollar began rising once the market started pricing in Fed tightening. That's a good thing. But the dollar today is far from being too strong, as it was in 1985 and 2001. Today it's only marginally higher than its long-term historical average.
With the dollar just above the middle of its long-term range, it's not surprising to see real oil prices trading close to their long-term range. Oil is neither expensive nor cheap, and that can't be bad for the outlook for the economy.
As the chart above shows, 5-yr inflation expectations (as embodied in the market for TIPS and Treasuries) say that consumer price inflation will likely average about 1.7% for the foreseeable future. That's not bad at all: not too high, not too low. In my ideal world, inflation would be close to zero and stable, but nobody is going to worry much if it's 1.7%. Indeed, the Fed would prefer to see inflation above zero. The Fed is not a threat in these conditions.
As the chart above shows, the equity market has suffered from numerous panic attacks in recent years (i.e., spikes in the Vix/10-yr ratio, accompanied by declines in equity prices). Today, however, implied equity volatility is quite low and nobody expects anything outrageous from the Fed, so it's not surprising that equity prices are floating higher.
PE ratios (using earnings from continuing operations) today are a bit over 21, according to Bloomberg, but that's not at all unusual given the very low level of 10-yr nominal and 5-yr real yields. As the chart above shows, the earnings yield on the S&P 500 tends to follow the inverse of the real yield on 5-yr TIPS. If anything, the current earnings yield on stocks suggests that real yields are too low (meaning the Fed could be tighter and real yields higher). Stocks, in other words, appear priced to higher yields than the bond market is assuming.
As the chart above shows, the equity risk premium (the difference between earnings yields on stocks and the yield on 10-yr Treasuries) is still relatively high. That means investors are quite willing to forego the yields and capital gains potential of stocks in exchange for the safety of Treasuries. Again, this is not an overly-optimistic market. If the market were exuberant, the equity risk premium would be negative, not positive.
What's driving equity prices higher is not anything sinister nor dangerous. Given that the market doesn't expect things to change much, investors are reluctantly conceding that the much higher yields on equities and other asset classes—relative to cash and Treasury note and bond yields—are attractive.

Flaky elbows and scaly legs are no joke. This exfoliating mitt works harder than your usual washcloth to get rid of dead skin and dirt. You'll have smoother, healthier skin. Plus, it helps prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Don't over-rub because there is no need; this is so effective you aren't required to work it it--it does it effortlessly. Semi-daily use has made my feet and legs really crackless this winter. I'm converted. If you are sensitive--like me--you will feel the need for moisturizer after. As a fair-skinned guy I happily use self-tanners; have a feeling I'm going to get the most natural look ever this year thanks to this.5
One of the best products I ever got in my birchbox. If this one gives up I will definitely replace it despite its price. I use it once a week and it works better than all my many scrubs, plus it doesn'tt leave a residue in my tub. I feel like a baby's butt after I use it. Also I have KP (red bumps) on the back of my arms and it heps immensely with that condition it is almost invisible to sight AND touch after regular usage!5
Don't let the price deter you—this thing is pure magic. Why does it cost $28? I have no clue but I will buy another one in a heartbeat. In fact, I may stockpile them. This is not your average once-over wash cloth/bath puff. You really need to scrub for it to do the trick. It may sound gross, but dead skin, dirt and oil will start to slough off after just a few seconds. And as exfoliating as it is, it's not drying or irritating in the least. I can't ever remember my skin being this soft except after a professional body scrub at a Korean bathhouse. If you don't feel reborn after using this mitt, you aren't doing it right. Scrub!5
I love this body mitt for many reasons.
1) makes my skin baby soft
2) is the first thing that has actually made a difference in the appearance of KP on my arms (way better than glycolic acid treatments)
3) no chemicals!
4) I can see the exfoliation which is satisfying
5) travels well
) no more razor burn or ingrown hairs, in fact
7) I swear my leg hair has become softer and finer since using this product.
I have bought one for everyone in my family and recommend it to all my friends. Well worth the price, it lasts for over 3 months!
I was very excited to try out the Microdermamitt and have been using it for a couple of weeks now...AMAZING product! Few things that made me love this body mitt - lathers decently well, just the right amount of exfoliation without being too harsh, surprising soft on skin and does not dry skin out. Highly recommend this product, though I wouldn't use it daily.5
This is an absolutely wonderful body mitt! It is much more effective than you think it will be. I just wet mine with water and scrub away (you don't use this with body wash). I can feel the dead skin coming off my body, especially my feet. I have very dry skin, so this is a lifesaver for me. Thank you Birchbox!!5

Taiya Star
Taiya Star is an orphan. For 13 years of her life she has always thought she has been alone in the world. Until she hears news she has an Uncle and Aunt in London. Taiya goes to live with them but what she wasn't told was that her Uncle wasn't exactly NORMAL. All too soon, Taiya is thrown into a world she never knew existed, with demanding screaming widows, messages written in blood, dark villains and pregnant wife's. It's taking all Taiya's energy just to survive but can she save her race as we
The clock that was on the wall above the door was very strange indeed. Instead of numbers around the outer edge it had words and letters, and instead of one clock face it had two faces visible through the protective outer glass. It looked as though it had been carved out of fine wood, and some fine artist had drawn a pair of wings encased in what seemed to be a golden shining halo right in the corner of the clock.
The clock gave a little ping, and the little hand slowly ticked round to where the number eleven should have been on the left clock face. As opposed to the number eleven, the letter p was written in elegant italic writing and that, was exactly where the big hand was currently now pointing to. On the other clock face, intricate symbols bordered the edge and the big hand was in between the symbol that looked to be a fish with quite a bemused expression on its face squashed up inside a glass, and the symbol of a light bulb shaded black.
To any normal person, the clock would have befuddled them silly trying to work out how the time was supposed to be conveyed, but Mr Sesame wasn't a normal person and he knew perfectly well how the clock worked and even though there was not a number in sight, Sesame knew exactly how all those letters, words, and symbols told the time in a way that made complete sense.
He leaned back in his comfortable chair and brought his fingers to his nose and with one long finger; he dug deep up his nostrils and extracted a bogey the size of quite a long apple core.
There was a huge jerking snore and a women seated in a desk chair on wheels woke up, sucking the dribble back up off her chin and back into her mouth.
"Don't do that dear, picking bogies is rather disgusting." She said, blinking large brown eyes and tidying up her black hair wrapped neatly up in a bun.
Sesame shrugged,
"Sorry." He said, and with one flick, the bogie went sailing through the air.
They sat for sometime in silence, the man tapping his fingers together as he surveyed the magnificent clock. The woman glanced at the clock and then back at Sesame. She sat back and closed her eyes.
"It's nearly time you know." Sesame announced to his wife. The woman sighed,
"It's been 'nearly time' for the past four years, what makes today any different from all the other times?"
"I'm sure of it, Henry."
"You've been 'sure of it' for a very long time dear and it always results to nothing and please don't call me Henry, you know how it gets to me. When we married you said 'I take thee Henrietta Jane.' Perfectly well so I know you can say it, it's just laziness. Henrietta will be just fine in future."
"I can feel it Henry!" Said Sesame, getting fairly excited, "She'll be here any day now, Henry, I know it."
The woman snorted,
"She is not going to be arriving here any day, Sesame, and you know that perfectly well. I don't know why you choose to be so ignorant, when you are a reasonably clever gentleman. This girl probably doesn't even exist!"
Sesame grinned and looked at Henrietta.
"Of course she exists! Taiya Star is a living, breathing girl and she will be the one to remove all our problems!"
"Taiya Star." Said Henrietta scornfully. "And just what kind of name is Taiya Star anyway? A simple name such as Jane or Ann would have been just fine!" And she slapped her knee in self-agreement.
"How do you know that it was her Mother who named her?" Said Sesame, slightly amused.
"Of course it was her Mother who named her!" Cried Henrietta, as though this was on par with being as obvious as the sun rising each day. "Good God Sesame, don't act so dumb! When our child is born, I'll be the one dishing out the name."
Sesame raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Henrietta sniffed at looked at the strange clock on the wall. She really found that clock quite annoying and Sesame was always talking about it as though it was the best thing in the whole of the house. Night and day Sesame sat in front of that clock, observing it as thought the answers to life were circled around the outer edge. Henrietta had enough of an idea to bet that Sesame didn't have the slightest idea what the clock was for and only sat there looking at it to make himself feel important and to give him something to do. And as for this Taiya Star, Henrietta betted this was also a figment of Sesame's fantastic imagination. Even though Sesame truly had gone to town on this one, giving the girl a name, an age, an identity, and saying blatantly that Taiya Star would be coming to stay soon when Henrietta could not see how this could be possible. Was Sesame saying the truth or was his old age taking him on a crazy ride to the loony town?
"Sesame." Henrietta began, "Is this Taiya Star actually a real girl? Does she actually exist?"
Sesame sat for a while, his fingers slowly inching towards his long nose. He seemed to be considering himself if Taiya Star was indeed a real girl or if he had dreamed her up from the depths of his vast mind. Finally he seemed to conclude that she was a real girl and that his mind hadn't played a part in her actuality because he gave a little nod to Henrietta.
"And what is so special about her? You act as though the sun can't shine without her. Do you care about her rather than your own child?" Henrietta's voice wobbled and her hands curved around her stomach protectively, as though trying to show her child that at least she had one loving parent. Sesame frowned, his dark eyebrows knitting together.
"Of course I care about the child, my own flesh and blood. How could I not? How could you ask such a question Henrietta?"
Henrietta bit her lip, wishing she could bite back her own words; Sesame had to be truly upset if he'd even resulted to using her full name.
"Well," Said Henrietta, shifting on the chair, her bossy manner returning, "If the girl is indeed coming to stay then you must get the house looking decent Sesame. It's really not good enough Sesame, now I know your trying your best but I won't have a stranger come to stay in a pig-sty. I can't do it obviously...."
A ghost of a smile whispered around Sesame's lips as he listened to his wife's moaning. Even though she did drive him crazy, he knew he wouldn't have her any other way. And then right in the middle of her sentence, the next word right on the tip of her tongue, Henrietta fell into a deep sleep, a long sliver of dribble appearing on her bottom lip. Sesame watched her for a bit and then turned back to studying the weird and wonderful clock that hung in his living room.

Ms. Freeman was polite,bright, and eager to assist me. She believes in devoting her full attention to each of her cases. She speaks the language of law with ease and confidence.
Posted by anonymous
I found Attny Freeman to be very interested in my case and MY best interests. She was friendly, knowledgable and competent. I would highly recommend her.
Posted by Wanda
I was referred to Ms. Freeman through my Legal plan; when my previous attorney suddenly took ill (all court/legal papers had been filed by previous attorney). After Ms. Freeman took my case, she immediately harassed me for additional money (retainer $2500) outside what my legal plan had already paid her "in full" (which she contracted with the legal plan). Even after the legal plan had called and reviewed the contract with her to clarify the contract she signed with the legal plan, she continued to harassed me for more money. On the day of court (which had been continued), she showed up at the court asking me to sign a paper to withdraw her self from the case. She left a letter with the court( and left the court) telling the judge that she wanted to be released from the case. The Judge was so angry and apologized to me and the other attorney, for her unethical actions. Sanctions were ordered by the Judge. The legal plan has terminated her from the contract due to her improper conduct as well as her poor standards of practice. I would not recommend her to anyone; for she does not have her client's best interest.
Posted by anonymous
She returned my phone call very quickly and gave me some great help!
Posted by Elaine
I have been fortunate to have Attorney Freeman in my corner for several legal matters. She is always respectful of my time and has always provided me with outstanding service.
Of all the attorneys I have retained over the years she is the only one that I think to call when I have legal concerns.
Attorney Freeman takes time to make sure I understand what is going on. She is extremely professional and kind, but she was very knowledgeable and aggressive when representing her clients.
If you want someone who will go above and beyond what was required, then you will want to hire Attorney Freeman. Even though she has a very busy practice, she returns calls in a timely manner and gives me her undivided attention even though I know I am not her only client.
These are some of the reasons that I would recommend Attorney Freeman to anyone I know who has a legal problem. I feel confident that she will do a great job. Attorney Freeman always does an extraordinary job for me every time!

Has a man ever called you crazy?
Last night was the end of a yearlong relationship. I'm not going to spin it to make me the hero. I'm not.
Too often we shape ourselves to be who we aren't because we are afraid we are unlovable. Last night I was called "crazy" and to be fair I opened the car door while it was moving like I was going to jump out. I wasn't really going to. I was drunk. It was a last ditch dramatic gesture because I didn't want to go home. I wanted to be held. Not just a held that can be done in a night. A held that develops over time that says I love you just how you are. And today I have finally accepted that this ex didn't.
He doesn't need to either. But his use of this word as an insult is a dismissal of the truth of my experiences and their impacts on me.
Women as "symptomatic," "overly emotional," or "crazy," is age-old. To plaster this label on us like a white sheet of silence, as we sway back and forth to surrender our autonomy to a sense that we are lesser, damaged, and undeserving is to say that being a woman is to be crazy, to be an irremediable, shameful thing.
I have a real, as in it is actually there, struggle with depression and anxiety. Crazy is in your blood just like arthritis, dementia, or colorblindness, and my family has plenty of crazy.
But let me tell you something else about crazy. When you live wondering if you can shift into the shape that someone can love, you also feel this way. You feel crazy. When you are scared no one else will come along and love you if they see all of you, you act crazy. When you carry around abuse that makes you see the world through a lens, the world looks crazy. When you have a splintered, wavering, or unsupportive family or society or world, that inflict different versions of hurting, you hurt daily. And we don't talk about this. We as women. We as a society. Not enough.
But this is no longer a word I am hiding behind. My crazy also makes me feel the people around me.
I met a little girl today who is snarky and demanding. She tells me she can smell the sticker books when they are there and they aren't because she didn't smell them. Then the cafe is closing. She says, "grandpa, let's wait for the girl" and she tells me to hurry, says "hasta luego" and waves me forward with her hands. We walk eight blocks until we part for our various forms of transportation. She makes me sneak from the small ghosts, tells me she doesn't like the parking lot being behind the fence, that it creeps her out. She is spunky. She is four and a half and she tells me she doesn't want piercings and when she is a grown up she could be a teacher too. I tell her she could.
The split second of wondering if the pain of hitting the asphalt would wake me from being petrified of being on my own, or change the knowing that growing up to be a woman means no girl goes unscathed or to fill the trenches dug into my heart, body, soul and brain, is not crazy. Crazy is outside the bounds of the norm, by definition. We live in a society where an overwhelming amount of women-identified people have felt this desire to hurl themselves against something that will make it all better, make autonomy second-nature.
These experiences and brandings, are the real shameful, blame-holding, assfaces that should be labeled "crazy." If there is a need to use "crazy" as an admonishment, point it in the right direction. At the shit we've overlooked. This "crazy" I'm accused of being, is said as if it is a venereal disease I purposefully contracted to spread around, like its something to not have compassion for, like it is something I am not working to dismantle. This thing you call "crazy" is just the reality of what it feels like to be me. Given voice, given compassion, given a willingness to listen, what you say is "crazy," proves to be the a stifled voice.
Break ups suck ass. If you are going through a break-up, I feel for you. If you should be going through a break-up because the person you are with doesn't love all of you or can't love all of you, be real with yourself. We have a bigger mechanism to hack apart here and being committed to someone you can feel is not loving you completely breaks you and then breaks us as women. You are allowed to demand everything you want. And scar tissue is even stronger than the original skin it's replacing.

Wisconsin, Nov 15: Elephants are the most intelligent mammals on Earth and this video proves this. In fact, it is not just intelligence that they prove, but their sense of immaculate rhythm and music.
Viral on the internet, this video was posted by a violinist in Wisconsin who discovered that these elephants loved her piece on Bach, so much so that they started wagging their trunks and dancing.
'I decided to go outside and play a bit for Kelly and Viola, 44 and 45 year-old elephants that have lived together for most of their lives,' said violinist Eleanor Bartsch on a youtube post. She further added,"'I found out that elephants REALLY like Bach...'
With a brain mass of just over 11 lb, their brains are the heaviest among all land animals. Scientists suggest that they have 257 billion neurons, as many as a human brain has.
Recently, there have been reports on an Elephant painting abstract pieces on canvas, which could be compared to the work of an abstract expressionist.
In fact, German evolutionary biologist Bernard Rensch studied an elephant's ability to distinguish music, and in 1957 published the results in Scientific American.
Rensch's test elephant could distinguish 12 tones in the music scale and could remember simple melodies. Even though played on varying instruments and at different pitches, timbres and meters, she recognized the tones a year and a half later. These results have been backed up by the Human-Elephant Learning Project which studies elephant intelligence.
Miracles indeed, but do not be surprised if we said that Elephants have a knack for mimicry and problem-solving capabilities too!

Keywords: Lake House
With three families including five grandkids, it is hard to find the perfect place to gather, this home is it. We put the four older grandkids in the upstairs lakeview room with the adjoining bunk room, it worked perfect. The three couples each had their own bedroom, nice. We taught the grandkids how to play ping-pong and how to play billiards, including how to bank shots. The dock with the slide really was the highlight of our time together, that slide was so much fun. The dining room sat all ten of us after we moved the game table next to the dining table, plenty of room. The kitchen had everything that was needed. We will come back again.
What a wonderful place for a family vacation! The three generations of our family all loved it! The owners were very nice and accommodating. The kids brought kayaks and this part of the lake was perfect for them to paddle around. We brought our boat and enough fish were caught the first two days for a fish fry! The slide was amazing for kids and adults, and the ping pong table was always in use. The house was clean and furnished very nicely and everyone wants to stay here again! I also want to add that we really enjoyed meeting the neighbors including Huey, Dewey and Ethel! Thanks to Jarrett and Glenn for having such a great place!
As a fellow VRBO owner, I know what customers look for in a rental and this fit the bill. It was very warm and comfortable and very homey, and the amenities and lake were better than expected. We had 8 adults and 7 kids and we brought 2 boats. The kids were constantly entertained and never bored. The TV's were not even turned on once. The neighbors were friendly and nice and everything was clean and neat when we arrived. The slide on the dock was the most popular amenity. The kids played on the slide and swam in the lake slew from about 10 to 5 each day. They could not get enough of it. They also enjoyed the ping pong and pool tables. If you like to fish, this was a great spot. We caught about 30 bream and bass each morning. We also enjoyed tubing and skiing out on the lake. I can't say enough nice things about this place. We will be coming back.
We had a great time at this house we loved the pool table, ping pong table, the kids LOVED the slide. Even though it was warm we still had smores that we made on the fire pit. The memories that we made will always be remembered
Thanks, The Pitts Family
The property "sleeps 15" but beware that they are counting bunk beds in closets and crammed into other bedrooms. This could be a good set-up for families with little kids, but was somewhat odd for us with older and adult kids. Also, the upstairs Master shares a bathroom with another bedroom. Strangely enough, access to the bathroom is through a closet. Weird and a little awkward for our guests. There is a nice-sized deck off one of the upstairs bedrooms but there are no chairs on the deck so unless you want to rearrange the furniture, which we didn't think we should do in someone else's home, it's virtually unusable.
The house lacks a sitting area large enough to comfortably accommodate more than 6-7 people so we all ended up in separate rooms. That wasn't what we had in mind for a family vacation. The kitchen is poorly equipped without a bowl large enough for a salad, much less more than one salad!, and no platters for hamburgers, steaks, etc. There was only one piece of cookware and as it was used mostly to keep the kids in mac and cheese, we were without cookware for any other use. It was quite a feat preparing a meal for our family of 9. Although we enjoyed many things about our stay at this property including the water slide, fire pit and outdoor shower, the owners chose to not return our deposit without any explanation until three weeks later when we finally heard back from them. I would think that with the issues they said they had with the condition of the property that they would have contacted us immediately. Overall, I think the property is okay but could definitely use some upgrading and better management.
We took FOUR families to this house and had 7 adults and 9 children running around. There was enough room for all those people without feeling squished into a house. The living areas were comfortable and the outside areas were great as well. The slide was a huge bonus for all the kids, all under 7 years of age. We look forward to renting it again next year.

SANTA CRUZ >> A court hearing that started Wednesday outlined an alleged gang-motivated stabbing that took the life of a 20-year-old Watsonville man in 2013.
In a preliminary hearing in Santa Cruz County Superior Court, four Watsonville men were accused of killing Felipe Adan Reyes near Lincoln and Alvarado streets on Feb. 28, 2013. Eric Romero, 18; German Carrillo, 19; Andres Rocha, 19; and Oscar Vaca Vargas, 21, are charged with homicide and street terrorism, prosecutors said.
Wednesday, Watsonville police detective Charlie Bailey testified that the men were in a black Subaru on Freedom Boulevard when they spotted Reyes on the street.
Based on an interview with the car's driver — a Watsonville man in his 20s — Bailey said the men in the car perceived Reyes as a rival gang member. One of the men said he wanted to "hit him up," or attack him, Bailey said, and the driver stopped.
Romero, Carrillo, Rocha and Vargas got out of the car about 2:35 p.m.
One of the men asked Reyes, "Do you bang?" to see if he was in a gang. It's unclear if Reyes responded, and Reyes continued into Lulu's Liquors & Deli at 1102 Freedom Blvd. Reyes was not in a gang, said prosecutor Jason Gill.
Reyes bought two drinks at the store and left.
The four men had been waiting outside the store, and they chased him toward Prospect Street, Bailey said. Video footage from the store's outdoor surveillance cameras showed the pursuit, Bailey said.
Carrillo and Vargas were closer to Reyes, and they started to attack him, Bailey said. Rocha and Romero were about 75 yards away during the attack, in which Reyes was stabbed at least twice in the chest.
The men fled, and at least one of the men collided with a car while escaping, banging on it and yelling at the driver to keep moving, police said at the time.
Reyes staggered across an alley and collapsed in the doorway of an upholstery shop. A man and woman at the shop and authorities tried to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Bailey testified that the driver of the Subaru identified the four defendants in the surveillance video.
Anthony Robinson, Vargas' defense attorney, objected to "multiple levels of hearsay" in the identification of the men in the video. Santa Cruz County Superior Judge Timothy Volkmann overruled him.
The hearing is expected to determine whether there is enough evidence to hold the men for a trial. The defendants face life in prison if convicted, prosecutors said.
The hearing is expected to continue Thursday.

New Delhi, March 9: The Delhi Congress will launch a three-day campaign to spread awareness about swine flu starting from Wednesday, party chief Ajay Maken said on Monday.
"We will help the Delhi government in tackling the outbreak of swine flu by organising awareness camps at 138 metro stations, all the major markets, universities and colleges," Maken said a day after taking over as the president of the Delhi unit of the Congress.
The drive will involve party workers in groups of 10-15 at all the stations and the universities.
"They will carry placards and distribute pamphlets among the citizens. Through our help, I hope the impact of swine flu will dwindle in the national capital," Maken said.

Obama Praises Two Generations of De Blasios at NYC FeteTed Bunker and Margaret Talev
Bill de Blasio, the Democrat running for New York mayor, got a boost from President Barack Obama last night at a party fundraiser in Manhattan, while the candidate's son, Dante, drew a compliment on his hairstyle.
Obama singled out the afro-sporting teenager, who was in the audience at the Democratic National Committee event in the Waldorf Astoria hotel on Park Avenue.
Dante "has the same hairdo I had back in 1978," Obama said. "Although I have to confess, my afro was never that good."
The president introduced candidate de Blasio, who he has endorsed, as "your next mayor" at the family-oriented fundraiser. De Blasio, the city's public advocate, has focused much of his campaign on rising inequality among New Yorkers. He has proposed a tax on the wealthiest residents to boost pre-school services for middle-income and poor families.
De Blasio "is going to continue to move New York in a direction where everybody has a chance to get ahead," Obama said. The president came to the 250-seat fundraiser after speaking on Iran and Syria at the United Nations, and later on his signature health-care law at the Clinton Global Initiative, a charitable group started by former President Bill Clinton.
Polls show de Blasio, 52, more than 40 percentage points ahead of Joseph Lhota, his 58-year-old Republican opponent, who ran the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and was a top aide to former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a Republican. In speeches, de Blasio refers to a "Tale of Two Cities" in which almost half of New Yorkers are poor or struggle to make ends meet.
Middle-Income Jobs
Lhota has called de Blasio's focus divisive, arguing that the best way to foster opportunity for New Yorkers is by creating middle-income jobs and maintaining order in a city once plagued by crime and fiscal distress. After two decades under Republicans and independents in the mayor's office, crime rates and welfare participation have dropped while parks, stadiums, retailers and skyscrapers have risen.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP, was barred by law from seeking a fourth four-year term.
