Anthony recorded career highs of 52 tackles and 7.5 tackles for loss (-18 yards) over 11 games and 10 starts in 2012, while adding a career-high-tying two interceptions that he returned for a career-high 64 yards and the lone score of his career.

Bigelow earned an honorable mention all-conference spot as a kick returner as he averaged 23.14 yards per return to rank sixth in the Pac-12 and 52nd nationally. Bigelow finished with 35 kick returns for 805 yards, which was the highest total in both categories by a Cal player since Lavelle Hawkins returned 42 kicks for 922 yards in 2007. Bigelow had 333 of his kick return yards on 15 attempts over the team's final two contests, bringing back seven for a career-high 171 yards vs. Oregon, including a season-long 57-yarder, and a career-high eight for 162 yards against Oregon State. Bigelow led the team with 1,328 all-purpose yards with an average of 111.08 yards per game to rank ninth in the Pac-12 and 62nd nationally, adding 431 yards and three touchdowns on the ground on 44 carries for an average of 9.8 yards per rush and 92 receiving yards and one touchdown on seven catches. He had a career-high 160 yards rushing and two touchdowns on only four carries at Ohio State as he became only the second Football Bowl Subdivision player in the last decade to post 150 or more yards rushing in a game on five or fewer carries. He was also the first Cal player since Jahvid Best in 2009 with three or more runs of 50-plus yards during a season on a pair of scoring jaunts at Ohio State of 81 and 59 yards, as well as a 57-yard TD rush at Utah.

81 - Ross Bostock, WR, 6-2, 202, Sr., 1L, Sebastapol, CA (Analy HS)

He also posted his lone career start against Oregon and appeared in 17 career games primarily on special teams and as a reserve wide receiver.
31 - Tyré Ellison, DB, 6-3, 200, Sr., 2L, San Francisco, CA (Burton HS)

65 - Dominic Galas, OL, 6-1, 290, Sr., 3L, Modesto, CA (Central Catholic HS)
Galas' season in 2012 was certainly one of perseverance that allowed him to play in only two games, including a start in the season finale at Oregon State. Galas suffered a torn pectoral muscle while lifting weights just prior to training camp that forced him to miss the team's first seven games. He returned to play off the bench at Stanford but then had an appendectomy on the day of the team's next contest at Utah that would force him to miss another three games before his return at Oregon State.
6 - Chris Harper, WR, 6-0, 170, Fr., HS, Encino, CA (Crespi HS)
Harper had a huge true freshman season, recording 41 catches for 544 yards and two touchdowns to rank second on the team behind Allen in all three categories.

He had per-game averages of 45.33 receiving yards and 3.42 receptions that ranked 18th and tied for 18th in the Pac-12, respectively. Harper played in all 12 games with starts in each of the last five and led Cal in receiving on five occasions, including four of the last five contests.

He was honored for his performance in the Big Game when he co-led the team with four catches for a team-high 82 yards.
23 - Josh Hill, DB, 5-10, 203, Sr., 3L, Houston, TX (Klein Forest HS)
Hill led the team in tackles with a career-high 87 stops in his final season at Cal to rank ninth in the Pac-12 with an average of 7.2 stops per contest and earn honorable mention all-conference honors.

Hill finished his career with 214 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss (-18 yards), 1.0 sack (-4 yards), five interceptions with 46 return yards, 24 pass breakups, 29 passes defended, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 48 games played and 32 starts.

Derek Jeter understands New York Yankees history. That's why the shortstop and team captain has continued to be introduced at home by the voice of Bob Sheppard.
Sheppard, who took over the public address microphone at Yankee Stadium in 1951, died Sunday at his Long Island home. He was 99 and hadn't worked regularly at games since 2007.
But Jeter decided before then that he wanted the man the Yankees affectionately called "the Voice of God" to keep saying in his distinctive tones, "Now batting for the New York Yankees, number two, Derek Jeter, number two."
"I grew up a Yankees fan and he was the voice I always heard," Jeter said Sunday in Seattle, where the Yankees played. "There were a few times sprinkled in and out that he wasn't there and it didn't sound right. So I had the idea to record his voice and always used it as long as I was playing."
Sheppard, a teacher and New York native with a Master's degree in speech from Columbia University, began his Yankees career the same Opening Day as Mickey Mantle, which also was Joe DiMaggio's final year. Sheppard also handled New York Giants football games.
His final Yankees game was Sept. 7, 2007, though he taped a tribute that was played on the video board at the final game at old Yankee Stadium in 2008.
The Yankees placed a plaque in his honor in the stadium's Monument Park in 2000.
"When you think of Bob Sheppard you think of all the tradition with the Yankees," said manager Joe Girardi. "You think about (Babe) Ruth and (Lou) Gehrig and Yogi (Berra) and Joe D and Mantle, and I think you mention Bob Sheppard. That's how important he was to this franchise."
Mantle once told Sheppard he got goose bumps every time Sheppard introduced him.
Sheppard responded, "Mickey, so do I."
"First time I ever heard him was 1996," Girardi said. "First time I ever walked out in Yankee Stadium and you realize you've hit the big lights when Bob Sheppard announces your name."

Mia (Whittaker) returns home to witness her elderly neighbour committing suicide. Finding a picture of her old lover Ludwig (Scott), she takes it on herself to ask the building's wizened super for help. He introduces her to an unusual facet of the property: its time machine.
Jodie Whittaker takes a trip through her own past in this ambitious if flawed Brit flick. She's Mia, a troubled young woman who suddenly discovers she can time travel via the lift in her apartment block, visiting different periods of her life — both observing and intervening in an attempt to right past wrongs. It's an entertaining set-up and complex enough to hold the attention. But the fact that nobody recognises the current-day Mia with a slightly different haircut seriously undermines the story's credibility. There are decent performances from Whittaker and Dougray Scott as her abusive lover, but while it's a curiosity for time-twist fans, this hardly feels big-screen worthy.
It's brimming with bold ideas but none entirely come off, despite a willing cast and solid performances from the leads.

It was the first battle in a season long war which should prove to be demanding and strenuous. The first battle in an attempt to return the San Francisco 49ers back to glory and the one which this team was looking towards the moment they knew they were going to be traveling to Glendale, AZ to take on their division nemesis.
The 49ers and Cardinals have faced off in the season opener four straight years now and over that time the teams have split the contests down the middle. Today might have been the best game of them all as it literally went down to the wire, ending as San Francisco defensive lineman Justin Smith flushed Cardinal quarterback Kurt Warner from the pocket and proceeded to throw him to the ground. Warner lost the ball on the way down and as it rolled out of bounds the clock ticked down to zero, 49ers win 20-16.
This game and the way it was won should be savored by both player and fan alike, however I am going to stand behind what I have been saying and thinking for weeks now. Shaun Hill is not the answer at quarterback, he is decent game manager. Nothing more, nothing less.
It will be when he begins to cost the team games with mistakes and attempting passes which he as has no chance of completing that I will be more ardent in making my opinion known. There were several passes in this game that were actually overthrown by Hill, two in the second half to tight-end Delanie Walker which should have been completed. I found it ironic in this game that Hill had any passes sail over his receiver's heads at all. Oh he still produced his usual quota of throws which fell far short of their intended targets but there were times when it seemed to me that he was trying to put too much on his passes.
I almost have to believe that Hill stepped it up late in the game might have been because perhaps Singletary told him that unless he did so then Alex Smith was going to replace him. Perhaps that might be wishful thinking but I just don't see Hill as being able to lead this team in the way that he needs to. I'm also not sure whether I see Smith as that man either but I do feel that we will find out one way or another some point in this season.
The running game certainly left something to be desired in this game and I have to say that I am somewhat worried about this offensive line. I understand that Arizona has a very good defensive front seven and they were focused on stopping the run all game however Frank Gore should have been able to find more daylight then he did and at least a few more holes to hit. At times I saw Gore go the wrong way or not see the break in the line to go through but for the most part the line simply didn't do a good enough job in run blocking.
Play calling from offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye was for all intents and purposes predicable. Perhaps no more so then on a drive in the second half where Hill handed the ball to Gore on all three downs resulting in a three and out and forcing the defense to hit the field again after getting little rest. I have to believe that next week we'll see a bit more disparity in the play calling, perhaps leaning more to the passing game.
The defense played a great game as they hurried Warner numerous times and even managed to sack the Arizona quarterback three times and linebacker Patrick Willis was his usual dominant self with a game-high 13 tackles and an interception. Cornerback Nate Clements also had an interception off Warner and the defense as a whole hit Warner eight times in the game.
This was the kind of team Singletary was hoping for, an offense that would manage the game when they had the ball and a defense that would not back down and would give it their all for a full 60 minutes. He got a little of the former and a lot of the latter. This defense could be a top 10 unit in the NFL this season.
All in all I would have to give the offense in this game a solid B- and the defense an A… they took on the defending NFC Champions and an offense that ranked fourth overall in 2008. They held Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to a combined eight catches for 90 yards and a touchdown, stats which have become almost commonplace when these teams meet. Something I don't think is being talked about enough was the play of Shawntae Spencer. The sixth year defensive back played well and was integral in helping to contain the Arizona offense.
The defense also wrangled in the Cardinals running game as Tim Hightower and Chris "Beanie" Wells combined for only 44 yards on 15 carries.
The 49ers home opener is next week against the Seattle Seahawks and while it should be another hard fought game, if the defense can come out with the same intensity then there is no reason that Singletary's crew can't start the season 2-0 against the most significant threats in the NFC West.

Remember Octomom? The only thing bigger than her womb, is her heart. The mother of octuplets fought to keep her name in the news on Saturday by winning a so-called celebrity boxing match against a strip club bartender in Florida.
Nadya Suleman who had six previous children before the well-known litter of eight more babies in 2009 donned a pair of oversized boxing gloves and a revealing black leotard for the main event at a Fort Lauderdale resort, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
Octomom's opponent Cassandra Andersen, a bartender at the Playhouse Gentleman's Club, went toe-to-toe with Suleman for three 60-second rounds. Actually, she outlasted Suleman who jumped out of the ring with several seconds to go before the final bell rung, The Miami Herald said.
In the end, the judges — in a split decision — decided that the mommy of many had won the bout.
The audience of roughly three dozen paid $25 a pop to watch the two vixens throw punches, push and head-butt each other inside the squared circle, The Herald said.
Celebrity Boxing Federation owner Danny Feldman tried to whet whatever appetite there is among the genreal public to watch formerly well-known personalities duke it out with giant boxing gloves. He announced, according to The Sun-Sentinel, there will be a fight between Long Island philanderer Joey Buttafuoco and Rodney King. Famed O.J. Simpson freeloader Kato Kaelin will take on Michael Lohan, father of troubled celeb Lindsay Lohan, in an upcoming Los Angeles match.
Octomom committed to four fights with Celebrity Boxing and might challenge former wrestler Chyna in her next fight, NBC Miami said.
We're not officially sanctioning gambling, though we're working on some Bodog and local Casino deals, so we're not opposed to it, that's for sure. If gambling were legal, though, we would put our Q101.com Cash on these fights:
King over Buttfu-OH-co (Rodney's got a chin, this much we know), and Lohan over Kato (gotta take the dude who's done time, and probably has done Lindsay Lohan. We kid, we kid. Or do we?). And despite bearing a remarkable resemblance, which will make scoring the fight that much harder, Q101.com's Cicero pals are telling us to pick Chyna over Octomom, unless Octomom is allowed to use one or more of her 14 children as weapons. We're pulling for Octo though, as that would leave open the possibility of our dream matchup: Octomom vs. Mrs. Duggar (oh she of 20 kids…it's 20 right?)

Washington DC (SPX) Apr 07, 2014
The process of designing, developing, building and deploying satellites is long and expensive. Satellites today cannot follow the terrestrial paradigm of "assemble, repair, upgrade, reuse," and must be designed to operate without any upgrades or repairs for their entire lifespan-a methodology that drives size, complexity and ultimately cost.
These challenges apply especially to the increasing number of satellites sent every year into geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO), approximately 22,000 miles above the Earth. Unlike objects in low Earth orbit (LEO), such as the Hubble Space Telescope, satellites in GEO are essentially unreachable with current technology.
DARPA created the Phoenix program to help address these daunting challenges. Phoenix seeks to change the current paradigm by enabling GEO robotics servicing and asset life extension, while developing new satellite architectures to reduce the cost of space-based systems.
Specifically, Phoenix's goal is to develop and demonstrate technologies that make it possible to inspect and robotically service cooperative space systems in GEO and to validate new satellite assembly architectures. Phoenix has achieved promising Phase 1 results and has awarded eight companies prime contracts for its Phase 2 efforts.
"Phase 1 not only showed the feasibility of our robotic tools and assembly techniques, but also validated the concept that we could build new satellites on orbit by physically aggregating satlets in space," said David Barnhart, DARPA program manager. "These successes could eventually lead to the revolutionary ability to create new, truly scalable space systems on orbit at a fraction of current costs."
Phoenix's Phase 2 efforts plan to focus on developing technologies in three primary technical areas of research:
+ Advanced GEO space robotics: DARPA is developing a variety of robotics technologies to address key on-orbit mission needs, including assembly, repair, asset life extension, refueling, etc., in the harsh environment of geosynchronous orbit. Development activities include the maturation of robotic arms and multiple generic and mission-specific tools. These technologies would be part of a future robotic assembly platform, the Servicer/Tender.
+ Satlets: A new low-cost, modular satellite architecture that can scale almost infinitely. Satlets are small independent modules (roughly 15 pounds/7 kg) that incorporate essential satellite functionality (power supplies, movement controls, sensors, etc.). Satlets share data, power and thermal management capabilities.
Satlets also physically aggregate (attach together) in different combinations that would provide capabilities to accomplish a range of diverse space missions with any type, size or shape payload. Because they are modular, they can be produced on an assembly line at low cost and integrated very quickly with different payloads. DARPA is presently focused on validating the technical concept of satlets in LEO.
+ Payload Orbital Delivery (POD) system: The POD would be a standardized mechanism designed to safely carry a wide variety of separable mass elements to orbit-including payloads, satlets and electronics-aboard commercial communications satellites. This approach would take advantage of the tempo and "hosted payload" services that commercial satellites now provide while enabling lower-cost delivery to GEO. DARPA is also pursuing a possible risk-reduction flight to validate the POD technology, which could eventually provide "'FedEx' to GEO" capabilities to make future space deliveries to high orbit much easier and faster.
"Individually or together, these technologies could help enable not just Phoenix's original concept of re-use, but a broad class of other robotically enabled missions at GEO as well," Barnhart said.
"They could help satellites reach new or proper orbits, inspect satellites as part of routine maintenance or troubleshooting efforts, repair or replace worn-out components, or add or upgrade capabilities. These capabilities would enable space systems, for the first time, to have the flexibility, accessibility and resilience that designers of terrestrial systems take for granted."
DARPA has awarded prime contracts for Phase 2 of Phoenix to the following companies:

by an illustration by Descartes of visual perception, Insight Out is
a meditation on inner and outer vision. Wire forms of hands and a glass globe
depict a diagram of the optics of vision. One hand, coated with fabric and beeswax,
stands outside the glass "eye." It is mirrored by a smaller, upside-down wire
hand inside the eye, but this smaller hand has one less finger raised. Something
apparently changed in this translation of outer to inner. A small projector
(the "brain") casts a video image onto the frosted back of the eye. In the video
someone is covering a blackboard with vertical marks,
as if counting but only with ones. As the enumerator covers the board with rows
of "ones", the marks already drawn start to transform into numbers from other
cultures and times. Eventually historic formulae surface and disappear from
theboard. This quietly transforming
scene is reflected small and upside
down via a lens onto the surface of the hand outside the glass eye. Thus realities
are both projected and reflected between the inside and the outside of the eye.
The history of mathematics is referenced as it seems the science most born of
inner vision and driven by its own internal logic, though it nonetheless bears
and generates an uncanny correspondence to the world outside. Or is all knowledge
simply born of the marriage of internal proclivity with activity in the world?
Such as counting on one's fingers.

Berkeley CA (SPX) Jul 19, 2004
Photos of red sprites, blue jets, elves and sprite halos are now flowing into the University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory from the first satellite instrument devoted to the study of these puzzling high-altitude lightning flashes.
All these phenomena are caused by the discharge of lightning from storm clouds into the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, which begins at an altitude of about 100 kilometers (63 miles).
These discharges produce much different effects from the craggy lightning discharges to the ground. But little is known about them because they occur between 50 and 100 kilometers above the earth's surface, too high for airplanes to study and too low for most satellites.
The Taiwanese government, however, funded an instrument called The Imager of Sprites and Upper Atmospheric Lightning (ISUAL), which was built by a collaborative team of Taiwanese, Japanese and UC Berkeley scientists and launched aboard the Taiwanese satellite ROCSAT-2 (Republic of China Satellite 2) on May 20 of this year.
"With ISUAL, we are trying to figure out the properties of the global electrical circuit, how the lower and upper atmosphere are coupled electrically," said Stephen Mende, a physicist at the Space Sciences Laboratory and UC Berkeley's principal investigator for the project.
"The first goal, however, is to find the global distribution of sprites and jets, and how often they occur."
Though the discharges are not known to have any negative effect on high-flying planes, they could have an impact on atmospheric chemistry, Mende said. Electrical discharges in the atmosphere produce nitrogen oxides (NOx), one of the agents known to degrade the protective ozone layer.
If low-intensity, cloud-ionosphere discharges were occurring all the time - some 1,000 electrically active thunderstorms are going on around the world at any given time - they may be producing a significant amount of nitrogen oxides.
The first image from ISUAL came in July 4, showing red sprites - short fluorescent "tubes" glowing like a neon light - terminating in the ionosphere. Another photo that day showed a brilliant lightning flash with a trio of sprites hovering above and a sprite halo encircling it.
Subsequent photos show a lightning flash inside a high-altitude storm cloud accompanied by a sprite halo sitting above it in the airglow layer of the ionosphere.
Though first reported by eyewitnesses as early as 1895, these atmospheric discharges weren't taken seriously by scientists until 1990, when video images of sprites were first published.
Scientists think these discharges take place after a lightning strike to the Earth's surface, which grounds the storm cloud tops and creates a large voltage difference between the cloud and the upper atmosphere. Because the air at this altitude is thinner, the strong electrical fields can break down the air molecules much like the ionization of neon gas inside a neon light.
Since this breakdown is easiest where the air is thinnest, it typically occurs high above and detached from the cloud, often touching the ionosphere. These breakdowns are called red sprites because nitrogen, the main constituent of air, glows red when excited by low energy electrons in this type of discharge.
As the sprite reaches the rarified ionosphere, it often produces a sprite halo, a diffuse glow in the layer of ionosphere above the sprite.
Jets, on the other hand, are blue and emanate from the top of a thundercloud, seemingly ejected from the core. And elves are rapid bursts of emissions of light due to electromagnetic pulses from lightning jolts.
Elves appear to be similar to halos, but occur at higher altitudes, typically above 95 kilometers (60 miles), at the bottom of the ionosphere. Sprites, elves, jets or sprite halos are collectively termed "transient luminous events."
A cloud-to-ground lightning flash always precedes the sprites and jets. Mende a few years ago found a 3-10 millisecond delay from lightning flash to sprite, though last year another team found some sprites delayed as much as 100 msec. The ISUAL instruments should help put that argument to rest.
The ISUAL instruments include a spectrophotometer that measures the intensity of the light given off in six colors simultaneously. This measurement helps in determining the energy of the electrons in the current flashing between the clouds and the ionosphere and in estimating the energy and strength of the electrical field.
The ISUAL camera looking out on the starboard side of the satellite is capable of taking six photos within 6 milliseconds, each exposure lasting 1 millisecond. The six photos in quick succession allow the team to analyze the time development of the transient luminous events.
During its expected five years of operation, the satellite, which is in a nearly polar orbit at 891 kilometers (561 miles), also will spend time looking at the nighttime auroras over the north and south poles.
ROCSAT-2, launched from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base aboard an Orbital Sciences enhanced-version Taurus XL rocket, also carries a French-built camera that looks downward with 2-meter resolution to study the ocean and land around Taiwan.
Mende's colleagues in building the imaging camera and the spectrophotometers were Harald U. Frey, Stewart Harris and Henry Heetderks of UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory.
Another instrument, the array photometer, was built by Y. Takahashi and H. Fukunishi of Tohoku University in Japan.
The principal investigator for the $5 million ISUAL instrument is Rue Ron Hsu of National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, who worked on it with colleagues H. T. Su and Alfred Chen. The approximately $75 million satellite was funded by National Space Program Office of Taiwan.

Custom Printed Fabric: You Design and They Print
If you've ever wondered about printed fabric, it all starts with a tightly woven flat base fabric made from any of a variety of yarns, including cotton, cotton blends, polyester, linen, silk, and other synthetics. The base fabric may or may not have woven designs. The printed design is applied to the fabric with pigment ink.
Direct printing is a type of digital printing in which pigment is applied directly to the fabric from a widebed printer. Digital fabric printing machines are available for printing on any type of fabric with most any type of dye. The advantage to digital printing is that there are no screen charges or minimums. For large runs, traditional printing is more cost effective but for short runs and one off patterns, digital printing is the answer for the up and coming designers and is a do-it-yourselfer's dream. Digital printing also eliminates much of the waste from the dying and production processes. As a result, digital printing is a more eco-friendly kind of printing.
Interior designers and clothing designers contract with fabric printing companies to print their professionally created designer fabrics. Professional designers usually create the fabric designs using computer-assisted device (CAD). These are often large orders that are used to make mass produced consumer items.
A recent increase in interest in crafts and do-it-yourself projects has led to a new industry of fabric printing for individual consumers. Designers don't need any experience to create their own unique designer fabric. Here's how custom fabric design works:
1. Find a vendor who does printing on fabric for small-scale projects.
2. If you are using your own design, provide the vendor with a scan or digital file of your image. You don't' need a design created by CAD to print your own fabric.
3. Choose the base fabric you want. Most online vendors will send swatches for free or for a small charge.
4. Decide how much fabric you need (one yard is usually the minimum) and find out from the vendor how much it will cost.
5. When the printing is complete, your custom fabric is ready for your project. That's all there is to it!
Several new custom printing websites have competitions in which customers submit their designs for judging by fellow customers. The companies may decide to use a winning design as a stock design, which is quite a tribute to the designer.
Custom printing opens new avenues of creativity. Online print companies make it easy to design personalized fabric and have it manufactured at reasonable cost.

It's Just Joe Being Joe
This seems to happen every time I buy something in a department store with my credit card.
Here's what happens: I buy something, hand the clerk my card. He or she looks at it, flips it over and says, "This card isn't signed, I need to see your ID."
I then open my wallet and show my driver's license. The clerk sees my license matches my card and proceeds to make the transaction.
It's at this point that my smart-ass-ness kicks in.
"Excuse me", I say. "If the back of my card was signed, would you have asked for my ID?"
"So", I say, with the speech of a prosecutor breaking a case wide open in a courtroom. "I can steal a card, and as long as there is someone's signature on the back of it when I hand it to you, I don't need to show ID? And, if my card were signed, by me, and someone stole it from me, you'd let them use it, even though you'd have no idea if my signature was their signature, because in that case, you wouldn't ask for ID?"
It's at this moment that my beautiful wife usually says, "Joe! Why do you have to give her a hard time. She's just doing her job."
I don't really pay attention, though, because I feel like I just won the case! I proved my point! I'm a winner!
This policy of checking my ID if the card I hand over isn't signed it POINTLESS! Are department store clerks doubling as credit card fraud investigators? Are they responsible for hunting down stolen cards? Can they arrest me?
The funny thing about this practice is that it doesn't happen anywhere else, but a department store! Not in bars, not in restaurants, not at the car repair place down the street!
There. I feel much better


text: Galapagos's giant tortoises are under threat from diseases such as avian malaria because local mosquitoes have developed a taste for reptile blood, it was claimed today. Scientist fear this, combined with a rise in tourism, could have a devastating effect on the island's wildlife. Dr Andrew Cunningham, from the Zoological Society of London, said: "The chance of a disease-carrying mosquito hitching a ride from the mainland on a plane is also increasing … if a new disease arrives via this route, the fear is that Galapagos's own mosquitoes would pick it up and spread it throughout the archipelago."

I'm a Canadian who was traveling in the USA. I was stopped by a trooper on the HWY for apparently speeding. The Trooper, completely degraded me, accused me of dealing illegal drugs, and questioned my ability to afford the vehicle I was driving. Yes again, I was stopped for speeding? After being verbally interogated for 30 mins he arrested me and printed out 3 citations; Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangerment and an infraction. At this Point I was nervous and felt quite intimidated. When I got home I searched for lawyers and talked to many on the phone who couldnt give me any conclusion except pleading guiltly to 1 criminal charge and paying the infraction. I then got intouch with Henry. He spend the better part of 1 hour on the phone with me and took on the case with confidence. After the first hearing, Henry was able to negotiate a dismissal of both criminal charges and I had to pay a $550 infraction. I was really quite pleased with his work and how efficient he was. I would refer Henry to anyone who needs the help of a lawyer who is professional, honest and most importantly knows how to get the job done!

I had a very bad spring back in 2012. I rolled my wife's car during a bit of nasty weather. I was confronted by some, not so nice police officers, and ended up getting in a scuffle. Things went quickly from bad to worse and I was quickly arrested. I discovered Henry's services through the bail business I utilized to get me sprung from jail. It was a fortuitous discovery! While I didn't walk away from the charges or found innocent, I did get a plea bargain from the DA, thanks very much to Henry! He stated more than once that he would go to bat for me and fight the charges, which was very much appreciated. At the same time he informed me of the risks. I really didn't want a felony charge to stick, I had been a professional businessman prior to this incident and wanted to continue to be so. A felony would've destroyed my future! I took the plea bargain, did my time (21 days or so) and moved on. Henry's help was money spent well! He is a genuine person that actually cares about his clients! If you are looking for someone to represent you that has amazing credentials and the care and concern that you deserve as a human being, then Henry is your guy! Trust me! He is your guy!!!!

I was introduced Henry because I had no idea whom to hire when I was in charged for DUI, very scared and nervous. Henry listened to me very carefully and gave me the power that we could definitely solve the problem. He is very ambitious, not overwhelming, and organizing; most of all he really knows what he is doing. Not only as a client and the lawyer, he loved to listen to me whatever that is, even my personal stories and feeling so he could put himself in my shoes.. He was also very patient when I had so many questions even when I called his personal cell phone, and he got back to me right away with happy voice when he missed my calls. The one thing that I really appreciate him is that he did not have to go to court with me after the case was actually closed, he showed up and put me on the list earlier so I didnt have to wait for an hour.. Even thought the case was over, he still was willing to take care of the case with no extra pay. I thought it was very nice of him that he just doesn't let me alone dealing with the case afterward.. Not only he has such a great personality, he is also very responsible and knowledgeable. Of course I was not the only client of him, but Henry always remember what is going on with my case, even all the details, he would love to answer all my questions. Whoever looking for a knowledgeable but very warm-hearted lawyer, he is the one you should go for. I think the good communication between the lawyer and the client is very important as well as the ability lawyer can win the case. I am very satisfied working with him, and he is a great person, a lawyer. Truly thank you Henry.

I was referred to Henry by another lawyer that guaranteed I would be in good hands & that he could handle everything I had going on between my issues in three different courts. I was able to meet for a consultation with Henry on a Saturday, which was a must for me as I work normal business hours just like everyone else. It really put me at ease when at the end of the consultation Henry had already came up with some of the best options to meet my situations. It was a long road in and out of court & every question I had was promptly answered by email, a phone call, or text message. Each day I had court Henry would call to not only make sure that I remembered but to go over our plan and the possible actions the Judge or Prosecutor might take. This kept me thinking positive throughout the whole process because I wasn't just another client in another court awaiting another decision & not knowing what may or may not lie ahead. I completely recommend Henry 100% for his hard work, flexible schedule, and knowledge in so many areas of the law.

I have never been in a situation where an attorney was needed and I was in a situation that was unique and needed some professional assistance!! Henry was so the most positive and calming soul I have ever met!!! He was very receptive of my situation and took it all in his hands!! He was a
perfect example of how an attorney Should represent people.. " I was dismissed on my case"
Posted by Christina
I was referred to Henry by a good friend of mine after recieving a speeding ticket in Lynnwood. I had hoped to get the ticket reduced but Henry actually managed to get it dismissed. I have a very busy schedule and Henry took care of all the paperwork and hassle. He was extremely easy to talk with and explained every step of the process. Thank You, Henry for a job well done. I highly recommend Henry Chae if you are looking for a friendly and competent attorney.
Posted by Dave
I got a speeding ticket a few months back "allegedly" driving 75 in a 60. I was following 2 other cars and somehow I was the one that got a ticket.
Henry was able to reduce my speeding ticket to a non-moving violation. (which was what I wanted because I did not want my insurance rates to increase.) I'm extremely satisfied with my experience and how my case turned out. I've recommended Henry to all of my friends and family. Thank you Henry!

Classic Western Films
John Pecoraro
Assistant Director
Manhattan Public Library
What are the ten best Western films of all time? Well, that depends on who you ask. You can find many lists of top Western films on the Web, but Classic Western Films no two lists will include the same films. Gayot.com, Reelz.com, Amctv.com, IGN.com, the American Film Institute, the Internet Movie Database, Rotten Tomatoes, and many other websites have their own opinions on which are the best Westerns. Since there doesn't seem to be any consensus among the experts, I've come up with my own list of favorite Westerns. My own top ten, in no particular order, are:
"The Magnificent Seven," 1960, directed by John Sturges. In this western remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai," seven American gunmen take on the job of defending a Mexican village against marauding bandits. Elmer Bernstein composed the film's iconic theme music, later used in commercials for Marlboro cigarettes. The film stars Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, and Eli Wallach to name a few.
"The Searchers," 1956, directed by John Ford. Based on the novel by Alan Le May, the film stars John Wayne as a middle-aged Civil War veteran who spends years looking for his niece (Natalie Wood), who has been abducted by Comanches. Major themes running through the film are the issues of racism and genocide towards Native Americans.
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," 1969, directed by George Roy Hill. Loosely based on actual events, the film tells the story of outlaws Robert Leroy Parker, aka Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman), and the Henry Longabaugh, the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford).
"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," 1966, directed by Sergio Leone. One of the "Spaghetti Westerns," filmed in Italy and Spain, the plot revolves around three gunslingers competing to find a fortune in buried Confederate gold: Blondie, The Good (Clint Eastwood); Angel Eyes, The Bad (Lee Van Cleef); and Tuco, The Ugly (Eli Wallach). Ennio Morricone composed the recognizable and haunting film score.
"The Oxbow Incident," 1943, directed by William Wellman, and starring Henry Fonda. Based on the novel of the same name by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, the film explores the theme of mob justice and vigilante law as two drifters are drawn into a lynch mob to find and hang three men presumed to be rustlers and the killers of a local man.
"Shane," 1953, directed by George Stevens. Based on the novel by Jack Shaefer, with a screenplay by Western author A.B. Guthrie, the film tells the story of Shane, a drifter and reluctant gunslinger. Shane (Alan Ladd) stumbles into an isolated valley in Wyoming and becomes embroiled in a land conflict between a homesteader and a ruthless cattle boss.
"True Grit," 2010, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. A remake of another classic Western from 1969, "True Grit" directed by Henry Hathaway, and based on the novel by Charles Portis. Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross hires Deputy U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne in the original; Jeff Bridges in the remake) to bring her father's murderer to justice.
"Unforgiven,"1992, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. A dark Western that deals frankly with the uglier aspects of violence and the myth of the Old West. The film tells the story of William Munny, an aging outlaw and killer who takes on one more job years after he had hung up his guns and turned to farming.
"Little Big Man," 1970, directed by Arthur Penn, and based on the novel by Thomas Berger. At age 121, Jack Crabb (played by Dustin Hoffman) recounts the story of his life, including capture by the Cheyennes and participation in the Little Bighorn fight against George Armstrong Custer.
And last but not least, "Blazing Saddles," 1974, directed by Mel Brooks, because it's always fun to spoof the things you love. The campfire scene alone qualifies this film as "classic." This film satirizes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, with the hero being a black sheriff in an all-white town.
All of my top ten appear on one or more lists of best Westerns. Most of these titles are available in DVD format at Manhattan Public Library.

On Wednesday afternoon, a pool report from the President's vacation in Martha's Vineyard contained a line about POTUS taking an envelope from an unidentified man.
"One man, standing at the edge of the yellow police tape, handed POTUS something (it looked like a maroon 8.5x11 folder but pool was too far away to tell.) POTUS looked at it, then handed it to Nicholson [Obama's trip director]," read the report.
So who was the man, and what was in the envelope?
