The Ross Valley Sanitary District's ability to secure a short-term loan from the Central Marin Sanitation Agency may have been placed in jeopardy this week by the district board's refusal to drop one of two lawsuits it had filed against the sanitation agency, of which it is a member.
The sanitary district needs to secure $2.5 million to $3 million in October to avoid running out of cash. The district needs the money to tide it over until it collects from ratepayers in December.
The Ross Valley district has asked the Central Marin Sanitation Agency, which treats the district's sewage, to wait until December to collect about $2 million that it owes the agency. The sanitation agency board had told the Ross Valley district that it should drop the two suits if it wanted it to consider the loan.
Meeting in closed session on Wednesday night, the Ross Valley board voted unanimously to withdraw one of two lawsuits against the sanitation agency that resulted after San Quentin State Prison decided to fire the Ross Valley district and hire the Central Marin agency to maintain a pump station at the prison and the pipes that deliver the effluent to the plant.
The suit that the Ross Valley district withdrew involved a dispute over whether the district should contribute more money to cover the sanitation agency's operating costs. The sanitation agency consists of the Ross Valley district and two other Marin County sewer districts. Shortly before San Quentin stopped doing business with the Ross Valley district, the district informed the prison that it had been inadvertently overcharging it and reduced its fees substantially. The reduction meant lost revenue for both the Ross Valley district and the Central Marin agency.
The suit that the Ross Valley district board voted to continue challenges the legal right of the prison to contract with the Central Marin agency instead of the Ross Valley district. Also named as defendants in the suit are the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the state Department of General Services and the county of Marin.
In an email detailing the Ross Valley board's decision, board president Frank Egger wrote that the loss of the prison contract "cost Ross Valley ratepayers $1 million in lost revenue this year alone which has forced the district to scramble to try and make up that loss."
Egger wrote that the Ross Valley board decided to continue the second suit, which has been moved to a Sonoma County Superior Court, even though new Ross Valley board member Mary Sylla spoke in favor of dropping it. Egger added that he still hopes the two parties can reach a settlement agreement.
Jason Dow, the manager of the Central Marin Sanitation Agency, said he couldn't predict how the Ross Valley board's decision would affect its request for the loan. He said the Central Marin agency's board would likely discuss the matter when it meets on Oct. 9.
"I didn't want to spend any more money on this," Sylla said Friday, noting that because the Ross Valley district is a member of the Central Marin agency it shares in the cost of the agency's legal expenses.
Sylla said the Ross Valley district is also seeking short-term loans from the county of Marin and Wells Fargo Bank. She said she remains confident that the district will be able to secure the money it needs to bridge the temporary shortfall.

Murphy in lineup despite lingering back soreness
HOUSTON -- David Murphy was in the Rangers' lineup on Sunday afternoon despite dealing with a sore back after hitting the left-field wall in the eighth inning on Saturday night. Murphy banged into the wall chasing Robbie Grossman's double. He stayed in the game, but had some soreness the morning after.
"It's tight," Murphy said. "The toughest thing is twisting ... swinging the bat. I doesn't feel good, but guys are always dealing with bumps and bruises."
The injury comes at a time when Murphy is beginning to come around at the plate. He took a modest six-game hitting streak into Sunday's game, with six hits in his last 16 at-bats, raising his average 30 points to .198, The Rangers are also beginning a stretch where they will be facing at least eight straight right-handed starting pitchers unless injury or weather forces teams to change set rotations.
This is a chance for Murphy to play regularly. He has been platooning with Jeff Baker in left field, and the Rangers just finished a stretch where they faced 11 left-handed starters over 18 games.
"Things are starting to click a little bit," Murphy said. "It's a matter of getting the feel back. It's all about regaining the feel and not necessarily by playing every day. It's cage work and working hard in batting practice and translating it to the game. The last few days I've done that and I need to continue."

COMING on the back of the midweek Johnstone's Paint Trophy heroics, Southend United's visit to Wycombe Wanderers at the weekend was always destined to go one of two ways.
Either Blues would be distracted by beating Leyton Orient and working their way to Wembley or the extreme momentum generated by seeing off the O's would help them also beat the Chairboys.
As it proved, Paul Sturrock's side were able to produce a spirited second half performance to secure a 2-1 victory.
But that came after a sluggish first 45 minute period which is becoming something of a norm for Blues.
They have now not scored before half-time in their last 10 outings while just 20 of the 69 goals netted by the team this season have come in the first half.
Such a statistic again demonstrates the fighting spirit and high fitness levels which do exist in the current Southend side.
However, the slow starts have to be a concern and Blues cannot keep going behind or being outplayed before finding their form and getting on top.
Because in recent weeks, matches against Accrington Stanley, Northampton and Cheltenham Town have shown the importance of being at your best for the majority of the match.
And, with Southend taking on high-flying Rotherham United and Port Vale after tomorrow's trip to Barnet, they cannot afford to give their opponents such a head-start if they are to stay right in the race for promotion.
Blues were able to rescue the situation against the Chairboys though and that moved them up to eighth in the League Two table, just two points below the play-offs.
That delighted the noisy contingent of travelling supporters behind the goal and it was a particularly pleasing afternoon for both of Southend strikers, Barry Corr and Britt Assombalonga who both worked their way on to the score-sheet.
Corr headed Blues back level at the start of the second half and again produced an impressive all round performance in attack to confirm his return to full fitness.
That is in stark contrast to Corr's last visit to Adams Park in May 2011 when he started what proved to be an 18 month spell on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.
But the Irishman is now back to full fitness and form and has been among Blues' best performers in their last three outings.
Alongside him, Assombalonga also looked lively in attack against the Chairboys and crucially ended his barren run in front of goal.
The on loan Watford youngster had gone 12 games and three months without hitting the back of the net and had started to look short of confidence.
However, Assombalonga was full of pace and power against Wycombe and caused their defence all kinds of problems before hitting home what proved to be the game's decisive goal.
The fine finish will do wonders for the striker's confidence and everyone connected with the club will now be hoping it helps get Assombalonga firing on a more consistent basis once again.
The striker started the season in stunning fashion, scoring nine goals in his first 14 games but injuries and the sheer number of matches have halted his progress since then.
But there were signs on Saturday of the old Assombalonga and, if that can be maintained, then both he and Corr could have a huge part to play in the remainder of the season, especially with top goalscorer Gavin Tomlin currently out injured.
They will be hoping to maintain that form and fire their side to more success because promotion and not only Wembley is still very much achievable for Southend this season – just as long as their first half form can finally be sorted.

ARMED raiders robbed a security guard before using their car and a house to smash open a cash box.
Two masked-raiders struck just after 11am outside the HSBC bank in Hillview Road, Astley Bridge, using a crowbar to attack a G4S security guard who was holding the cash box on his way into the bank to make a delivery.
The two men then fled the scene in a dark-coloured vehicle - thought to be a black Skoda - but stopped in nearby Old Road when one of them got out of the car.
It is thought he held the cash box next to a wall and the other man repeatedly reversed the car into it in an attempt to smash it open.
Shortly after the raid it was reported that a black car had crashed into a skip near Chorley Old Road and exploded into flames.
Police said the raiders had stolen only a small amount of money.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "We were called to Old Road at 11.15am after reports of a car continually reversing into a wall.
"This followed an armed robbery outside the HSBC bank in which a security driver received a cut to his arm."
The driver was checked over by paramedics but was not seriously hurt.
One eyewitness, who did not want to be named, said: "I was sitting in my car with my friend when we saw this car do a a u-turn really aggressively and reverse straight into this house.
"Then it did it again, like three times.
"One of the men got out - he was short and in a black tracksuit.
"He was shouting at the driver to keep reversing into the wall, and he was holding a black and yellow bag.
"Then he got back in the car and they drove off really fast."
A piece of the getaway car was found in Old Road and the police helicopter was launched to hunt for the robbers.
Witnesses reported seeing a black car crash into a skip in Back Chorley Old Road South at about 11.20am.
Michael Rigg, who lives in Chorley Old Road, said: "My neighbour heard the car crash into the skip and I saw this billowing black smoke in the air.
"It definitely smashed into it - it has moved the whole skip and burnt my neighbour's fence down."
Steve Roberts works in Chorley Old Road and ran up to see the scene.
He said: "It seems a real coincidence that a black car was found on fire just after a similar vehicle was involved in the armed robbery."

SHEPHERDSVILLE - While it is not new news, it is now time that Bullitt Central can start looking forward to a shift from Class 6-A to 5-A for the next two seasons at least.
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association made that decision back in August, but since it doesn't take affect until next season, there wasn't a lot of reason to talk about it. The only thing making the announcement so early did was allow schools to start the scheduling process for the next two seasons.

'In the spring of 2003, the Coyotes dealt him to the Sabres for Chris Gratton, who is the antithesis of Briere, a large man who played smaller. In retrospect, it was a steal, a deal that began to transform the Sabres franchise. Nothing has been quite the same since. Briere justified the trade from the moment he arrived. He became a star in 2003-04, a popular figure on and off the ice, a spokesman, leader and co-captain. "It was a blessing, going to an organization that believes in me and was willing to give me more responsibilities."'

I had a partial tear in my rotator cuff a number of years ago and was curious if anyone could comment on how that affects the ability to huck plastic.
My first time out I either overexerted myself or my technique was so bad it caused a great deal of pain such that my shoulder's mobility was immediately limited for the day. Since then I've used forehands almost exclusively. While I'm quite happy with my forehand I would like to develop a solid backhand drive, and I was curious if this is worth pursuing. I've noticed how much the arm gets behind/swings behind players when they bomb a backhand. Moving my arm up and back at the same time is quite painful, and I was curious if this is something others have overcome or if I should just give up on backhand hyzer drives in favor of something more fruitful.

With diverse flora and fauna, magnificent natural landscapes, and an ecological biosphere that supports life,
this wondrous planet is our earthly home.
From our animal co-inhabitants to the lush rainforests and life-giving soil,we cherish all these as gifts from the Creator.
It is a common theme in the world's major faiths that during our temporary stay here, we should be good
stewards of Mother Earth.
Throughout the years, Supreme Master Ching Hai has shared the message of leading a balanced life while following a spiritual path.
Not only must we nourish our spirits, but we share the responsibility to care for nature and our fellow beings.
In light of recent scientific evidence which pinpoint the raising of livestock as the number one contributor
to climate change, Supreme Master Ching Hai affirms the important message she has noted for over the past two decades: we must be vegetarian, meaning an animal-free diet, and practice sustainable living.
Today we present to you a 5-part series titled "Animals Contribute to the Health of Our Planet,"
a compilation of excerpts from Supreme Master Ching Hai's discussions concerning the detrimental impacts
of the meat diet on human health, the environment, and, ultimately, the health of our planet.

In three decades, the East Bay Zoological Society, managing the Oakland Zoo under a contract with the city, has transformed it from one of the nation's worst facilities to one of the best. It is a jewel in the East Bay.
Today, the zoo features spacious animal exhibits, new educational facilities, a children's section opened seven years ago and a veterinary hospital that's less than a year old. Attendance is up to roughly 700,000 visitors annually, making it a regional treasure in a city that struggles to rise above its unfortunate image as a haven for crime.
The zoo sits on 93 acres at the bottom end of the picturesque, 490-acre Knowland Park, which rises from the MacArthur freeway up to Skyline Boulevard high in the Oakland hills. For 15 years now, zoological society officials have proposed expansion.
After amendments, the plans now call for adding 56 acres to the zoo. The California trails exhibit will feature condors, mountain lions and grizzly bears, and include an overnight camping area, interpretive center, restaurant and gift shop.
The site is stunningly beautiful. The project, once completed, will provide visitors with a dramatic view of the Bay Area and a wonderful opportunity to observe some of the state's key current and historic animals.
But neighbors and some environmental groups argue that the project would endanger plants and rare wildlife. They tried unsuccessfully to convince the Oakland City Council to stop the project. They also failed to convince a Superior Court judge that approved changes had undergone inadequate environmental review.
Opponents won't reveal their next moves, but it seems likely that they'll try to convince state and federal wildlife officials to deny needed permits for the project. We have confidence those officials will give the project a fair review, and we hope they will do so in a timely manner.
While we respect the opponents' concerns about preserving natural habitat, it should be noted that, even after the zoo expansion, more than two-thirds of Knowland Park will remain untouched. Meanwhile, the project could elevate the zoo to a national attraction.
Opponents claim public sentiment has turned against the project. They point to voter defeat of Alameda County's Measure A1 on the November ballot, an annual $12 parcel tax for the zoo that would have lasted for 25 years. It fell short of the required two-thirds approval, which opponents see as an indicator that voters wanted to preserve Knowland Park as is.
We don't read it that way. We also opposed the tax, for reasons having nothing to do with the zoo expansion plans. The real problem was that there was no justification in these tough economic times for a tax that lasted that long. We suspect that's what drove most voters who opposed it as well.
Moreover, the expansion project will be funded from other pots of public and private money. Zoological society officials say they have raised nearly 80 percent of the $62 million needed for the project. We think it's time to move forward.

Residents moving into new apartments in The Village at San Antonio Center this week have a prospect of entertainment in their own backyard. Developer Merlone Geier Partners submitted plans last week to build an eight-screen movie theater and 165-room boutique hotel in the northeast corner of the center.
The plan calls for 500,000 square feet of office space, street-level restaurants and shopping and a multistory parking garage.
The hotel plans include meeting and convention space, an outdoor pool and deck areas that could accommodate several hundred people.
Neither the hotel nor the cinema have been contracted to operators, but Mike Grehl, vice president of Merlone Geier, said they were "pretty far along" in discussions with a theater operator. He said the cinema would likely include a bar or restaurant as part of an enhanced movie-going experience.
Grehl projects that the redevelopment at San Antonio Center, taken as a whole, may begin to generate $4 million a year in sales- and hotel-tax revenue for Mountain View.
The project's first phase, which includes a new Safeway market, 330 apartments, retail and restaurants, is nearing completion this month.
Two new restaurants, Lyfe Kitchen and Paul Martin's American Bistro, joined Counter Custom Burgers and Starbucks on the list of future tenants. Jared's Jewelers and Sleep Number also announced they will open in the center.

Addiction and Substance Abuse
Drug Abuse
An aquaintance in my community confided in me and told me that he/she does drugs every day for the past seven years. Is there a clinic that he/she can go to for medical study and long term effects regarding this issue?
I am not sure what community you are living in, nor am I sure what drug/s your acquaintance has been using. My best advice for you is as follows:
1. Have the person talk to their primary care doctor about having a physical exam done and lab tests done to check for any issues or problems related to using drugs.
2. Contact the local county "alcohol and drug addiction services board." This is a government agency that can usually make a referral to local treatment centers.
3. Use the national treatment locator provided by SAMHSA at
http://www.samhsa.gov/treatment/index.aspx or call toll-free 24 hours per day 1-800-662-HELP, (1-800-662-4357) this can help you get the proper referral as well.
Good luck! I hope that your acquaintance finds the help they need.

When school resumes in the fall, cafeterias will be serving more whole grains, more fresh vegetables and milk kids, schools and moms will love. With the ongoing debate over flavored milk in schools, many of the nation's milk processors have been hard at work over the last five years with their local districts to lower the calories and sugar in this popular drink.
This school year when kids pick up a carton of flavored milk with their lunch, the majority will be less than 150 calories. It's projected to contain, on average, just 31 calories more than white milk – the result of ongoing work by the nation's milk processors to provide nutritious new products with the same great taste kids love. Continuing a five-year trend in school milk changes, the industry's reformulations are projected to result in fat free and lowfat chocolate milks with 38 percent less added sugar in the last five years, according to a new national analysis of flavored milk in school.
"Milk is a nutritious, core component of school meals and the milk industry is committed to offering a product that meets school nutrition standards and is appealing to students," said Vivien Godfrey, CEO of the Milk Processor Education Program, made up of the nation's milk processors. "Whether plain or flavored, milk contributes so many vital nutrients to a child's diet and we want to do our part to be sure the milk on the tray is enjoyed and actually consumed with the meal."
Milk companies across the U.S. are reformulating flavored milk to lower total calories and decrease added sugars and fat, while preserving its nutritional value and taste appeal. These new products aim for 150 calories and fewer than 22 grams of total sugar (or 10 grams of added sugars) per 8-ounce serving.
The Great Debate
Due to concerns about childhood obesity, some schools have made the decision to remove chocolate and other flavored milks from the cafeteria. Even though these bans have been well-intentioned, they have done more nutritional harm than good. Research suggests lowfat chocolate milk is the most popular milk choice in schools and kids drink less milk – and get fewer essential nutrients – if it's taken away.
The pattern has been consistent. When flavored milk is removed from the lunchroom and only white milk is offered, there has been a dramatic decrease in milk consumption, according to several studies.
- When flavored milk was removed from the cafeteria in a school district in Connecticut, milk decreased in all grades, ranging from 37 percent to 63 percent.
- A large study involving seven school districts across the country (58 elementary and secondary schools) found that when students did not have the option of flavored milk, milk consumption dropped by an average of 35 percent, along with a substantial reduction in nutrients – which are not easy or affordable to replace.
- The same study found the drop in consumption did not recover over time. Even the 40 schools that were in their second year of a limited-or no-flavors policy did not see students moving to white milk. On average, students at these schools drank 37 percent less milk compared to when they had flavored milk available every school day.
- Some school districts have even reversed their previous decision and reinstated flavored milk due to the decline in milk consumption.
Nutrients Down the Drain
If milk is not consumed with the noon meal, it's nearly impossible for children to meet their needs for calcium, vitamin D and potassium – which are already identified by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as limited in children's diets. Milk is the #1 food source of these essential nutrients in the American diet.
"It's important for parents to recognize the implications of removing chocolate milk from school meals," said Sandra Ford, SNS, School Nutrition Association President-Elect. "Federal nutrition standards require every school meal to be served with nutrient-rich milk. If the milk choices don't include flavored milk, many kids will chose to go without milk altogether, and we'll be missing an opportunity provide the nutrients that help them do their best. As schools work hard to cut calories from their menus - let's make sure we aren't cutting critical nutrients from our students' diets too."
Flavored Milk Contributions
Studies show that children who drink flavored milk meet more of their nutrient needs, do not consume more added sugar or fat, and are not heavier than non-milk drinkers. Flavored milk drinkers also drink fewer sodas and fruits drinks.
"Most kids are far from the recommended three servings of dairy a day for kids nine and older, and flavored milk drinkers drink more milk, so I think flavored milk is an acceptable strategy to help us increase milk consumption," said pediatrician Tanya Altmann, M.D. "Sure, I wish kids drank more white milk, and that's what I encourage at home, but if they're drinking milk with their meals at lunch and it happens to have 31 more calories than the unflavored version, I'm okay with that. What's at risk is that children will miss out on milk's nine essential nutrients if they won't drink the options provided."
The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dietetic Association and other groups agree. In fact, these professional organizations believe that flavored milk is a positive trade-off for soft drinks, which are the primary source of added sugars in a child's diet. Flavored milk accounts for only 3 percent of total added sugars in children's diets.
"Unflavored milk is lower in sugar than flavored milk. However, given the importance of calcium, vitamin D and other key ingredients in the diet of children and adolescents, flavored milks could be a nice alternative since the contribution of added sugars to the overall diet of young children is minimal," according to a commentary written by two members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition.4
Putting Flavored Milk in Perspective
"We should be focused on ways to encourage milk consumption, not implement policies that could backfire," said pediatric nutritionist Keith Ayoob, Ed.D., RD. "It's tragic to see the chronically low levels of calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients in young children and teens that could easily be increased if they simply drank more milk."
Ayoob believes there are several misconceptions about flavored milk. For instance, not all of the sugar you see on the label is "added sugar." Some of the total grams are naturally-occurring lactose. For instance, a fat free chocolate milk with 143 calories and 24 grams of total sugars, includes only 12 grams of added sugar (or sucrose) per 8-ounce serving. The remaining sugar is the naturally-occurring lactose that's also found in white milk.
Despite some of the high-profile debates over flavored milk, a recent study of 1,000 moms found that more than half (54 percent) would be opposed to a decision made by their children's schools or school districts to stop offering chocolate milk.5 Parents say they want their children to learn to make choices for themselves and not have decisions made for them.
The survey found that parents appreciate that the availability of chocolate milk increases milk intake for some children who do not drink white milk.

Two days after LSU nudged Alabama in the Southeastern Conference Western Division standings and drew the favorite's role to repeat as the league champions the Tigers edged the Crimson Tide on the recruiting trail as well.
Nearly four months after choosing Alabama following a Junior Day visit three-star offensive line prospect Andy Dodd of Linedale, Ga.-Pepperell rescinded that pledge Friday in favor of LSU during the first of a two-day unofficial visit to Baton Rouge.
"I had just been praying about it," Dodd told the Atlanta Journal Constitution. "I just felt like it was the right thing to do. It (LSU) was the place that I fit in the most."
Dodd, the nation's No. 21 offensive guard, further enhances a LSU recruiting class ranked third nationally. The 6-foot-3, 325-pounder gives the Tigers their 21st overall commitment and fourth offensive lineman to go along with Ethan Pocic of Lemont, Ill., Josh Boutte of Westgate and K.J. Malone of Ruston-Cedar Creek.
Dodd's also the ninth out-of-state prospect to commit to LSU Head Coach Les Miles and second from the state of Georgia, joining quarterback Anthony Jennings of Marietta.
Dodd said such a move has been in the works since his March 26th commitment to Alabama - a school he selected over scholarship offers from Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami and South Carolina. His first day on LSU's campus was enough to prompt a change in his future college home after a tour of the school and a meeting with Miles.
"I've been thinking about (changing) ever since I committed," Dodd told the AJC. "I knew I made the wrong decision. Here lately, I had been telling people about it. I came down on a visit, and they showed me lots of love at LSU. I knew that's where I wanted to go."
Dodd added the following: "I just didn't feel like I should be spending my college years there. A week or two after committing, I knew I had made the mistake. I didn't want to come out and say anything yet."
The addition of Dodd will effectively close out LSU's recruiting at offensive line.
The 6-7 Pocic, the nation's No. 3 offensive tackle, is expected to remain at tackle while Boutte and Malone are projected to play offensive guard.
In the case of Dodd he could play any number of spots along the interior line but is expected to help fill a void at center with LSU graduating senior P.J. Lonergan after this season and only Elliott Porter (sophomore) and Corey White (redshirt freshman) backing him up.
Dodd played tight end last season for Pepperell but is expected to move inside and play left tackle in 2012.
"He's more advanced as a run blocker, but I think he has the foot work to be a great pass blocker," Pepperell football coach Jeff Shiftlett said in an earlier Rivals.com interview. "That's his strength. His foot work is great for a big kid. He can really move. I think you'll see improve on his pad level and a couple of other things that we'll work on this season. He's a great football player."

Humber's woes continue in loss to Red Sox
Right-hander lasts just 4 2/3 frames, gives up 10 hits in fifth loss
BOSTON -- As his teammates quietly shuffled between the shower and their lockers inside a cramped visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park, Astros starter Philip Humber sat alone and stared at the ground while obviously engaged in some deep thought.
These are trying times for the veteran right-hander, whose season has suddenly gone awry following three strong starts to begin the year.
After allowing eight runs and not being able to survive the first inning in his previous start on Saturday, Humber struggled out of the gate again Thursday and was tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings in a 7-2 loss to the Red Sox.
Humber was his own worst critic postgame, saying he didn't know what has gone wrong. "It's pathetic," he said. "I didn't give our team a chance to win the game before and definitely not this time. I'm definitely not doing my job right now."
Humber, who signed to a one-year deal with an option after being claimed off waivers from the White Sox, had a solid spring and owned a 2.89 ERA in his first three starts this year, though he didn't have a win to show for it because the Astros didn't score a run in any of those outings.
In his past two starts, he's allowed 18 hits and 15 earned runs in five innings.
"It's tough," catcher Jason Castro said. "He's one of those guys who's going to give you everything he's got when he's out there. To see him kind of go through what he's going through right now, it's tough to see. He's trying to sift through some mechanical things right now, and I really think that's all it is."
The Red Sox jumped on Humber (0-5) in the first, getting RBI hits from Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Mike Carp and Jarrod Saltalamacchia to build a 4-0 lead. Ortiz hit his first homer of the season in the third inning, and Boston chased Humber from the game with a pair of runs in the fifth.
"It's not fun to go out there and get hit around like that, but if I had an answer, I would have already done something different," Humber said. "Give credit to their hitters. They have some good hitters and they didn't miss the pitches they should hit, you know?"
Castro remains confident Humber will right the ship.
"In the bullpen before the game, he had great stuff and he started pressing a little bit when he started falling behind," Castro said. "I think with a little bit of work in between his next start he'll bounce back and be right where he wants to be. He's so close, and in his next few starts, we'll see a different guy out there."
The big first-inning deficit has been a recurring theme this year for the Astros, who have been outscored 28-13 in the first and have yet to win a game (0-11) when their opponent scores first.
"It's definitely not fun," manager Bo Porter said. "It's hard when you fall behind early in a game against one of the better pitchers in our league, and when you're on the road you're fighting an uphill battle. It would be much more efficient to get a quick 1-2-3 inning and get back into the dugout."
The pitcher Porter was referencing was Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz, who improved to 5-0 by allowing six hits and two runs while striking out 10 batters in 7 2/3 innings.
"It's tough with this league change early, not really being familiar with all the guys we're facing," Castro said. "It's something we're working through and watching video and doing all the things to be prepared from that standpoint, but once you put it into practice and step in the box and see what it's like coming out of his hand, it's a little different. We'll keep battling through it."
The Astros finally scored a run with Humber on the mound for the first time this season when Chris Carter trotted home from third on a Matt Dominguez double-play grounder in the second. Castro's RBI single in the second cut the lead to 4-2, but Buchholz got stronger as the game progressed.
"I was having trouble gripping the ball there for a little bit," Buchholz said. "Just that cold and no moisture in the air. It's happened a couple times this year. Finally was able to get a grip consistently, and I think that allowed me to speed up a little bit in between pitches rather than having to find a way to get a grip on the ball."
Fernando Martinez had three of Houston's seven hits to raise his batting average to .357 and said the adjustments he's made since returning from the disabled list on Sunday are paying off.
"I've tried to keep my head down to keep the ball better," Martinez said. "I didn't play for two weeks and lost my timing and want to try to see the ball better."

London Scottish head coach James Buckland has shuffled his pack ahead of this Sunday's encounter with neighbours Ealing Trailfinders at Richmond Athletic Ground (kick-off 12.30pm).
In all, he makes six changes to the line-up which started against Leeds Carnegie last weekend.
Lee Millar, Jordi Pasqualin and PJ Gidlow return to the back division with forwards Nick Mayhew, Tyler Hotson and Matt Everard also earning starts.
Dual-registered Harlequins scrum-half Sam Stuart returns to the squad alongside fellow Quin Joe Trayfoot, while prop Jamie Kilbane takes his place on the bench following a loan spell at Blackheath.
London Scottish have defeated Trailfinders twice so far this season and a hat-trick of victories will be the perfect tonic following two consecutive defeats on the road.
Buckland said: "We have got a few battered bodies but the guys are really positive and full of energy and really want to put on a performance against Ealing at the weekend.
"It's March now and the sun's coming out so I'm hoping we play some attractive rugby.
"Ealing have done things we have been incapable of this season, such as going to Nottingham and winning, so we give them the upmost respect.
"We have already played them twice this year and the scoreline has probably flattered us on both occasions.
"They have got some really good players and are a tough, physical outfit."
On recalls for two key decision-makers, Millar at 10 and Tyler Hotson in the second row, Buckland said: "Lee has been looking for an opportunity, the same as Tyler Hotson.
"They are in two pivotal positions and we have asked them to take ownership of the team.
"Tyler will be leading the line-out and Lee will be our on-pitch decision maker.
"There is a bit of pressure on them to get the job done and that's what we need at this stage of the season."
Recalled: Tyler Hotson is back in the London Scotttish squad
Scottish are currently eight points behind fourth-placed Rotherham Titans with six matches remaining before the end of season play-offs.
Buckland knows his side can ill-afford any more slip-ups if they are to force their way back into play-off contention.
He added: "Things could still happen for us in terms of the top four although it's out of our hands.
"That's what we are striving to achieve and we certainly have not given up on the cause.
"We just have to work extremely hard in every game and keep on winning."
All London Scottish members can bring a friend for a fiver to the game and with England taking on Wales at 3pm, we are offering those heading to Twickenham, £10 entry (Clan standing ticket) when you present your Six Nations ticket at the gate.
Buses to Twickenham stadium leave from just outside the ground.
London Scottish: 15, Jim Thompson; 14, James Love; 13, Mike Doneghan; 12, PJ Gidlow; 11, Miles Mantella; 10, Lee Millar; 9, Jordi Pasqualin; 1, Nick Mayhew; 2, Adam Kwasnicki; 3, Tom Francis; 4, Sam Twomey; 5, Tyler Hotson; 6, Neil Best; 7, Matt Everard; 8, Mark Bright (c).
Replacements: 16, Ted Stagg; 17, Jamie Kilbane; 18, Lewis Thiede; 19, David Lyons; 20, Joe Trayfoot; 21, Sam Stuart; 22, Dan Newton.

THREE Gwent boxers have been named in Wales' initial 10-strong squad for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, writes Andrew Penman.
Newport's Sean McGoldrick will be aiming to repeat his heroics from Delhi four years ago to claim a second Commonwealth Games gold medal in the 56kg category.
Pontllanfraith heavyweight Kody Davies is also included in the men's team, which is headed by Olympic silver medallist Fred Evans, European gold winner Andrew Selby and St Joseph's fighter Joe Cordina.
Evans, who trained with Tony Borg at St Joes until last year, is included despite recently being fined £435 after he admitted assaulting a customer at a Birmingham lap-dancing club.
And, with women's boxing added to the Commonwealth programme for the first time, Ebbw Vale's Ashley Brace is joined by Charlene Jones and Lauren Price to represent Wales.
But 10-time Welsh super-heavyweight champion Kevin Evans is left out.
Nations are allowed to name a maximum of 11 boxers and Wales have opted not to nominate Evans in the 91+kg division.
The 38-year-old is denied the chance to represent his country in a fifth Commonwealth Games - having won a silver and two bronzes at previous tournaments.
Wales will also select a boxer to compete in the 81kg category and will put forward their nomination at the beginning of June.
Splott fighter Nathan Thorley beat Sharif Mohamed of Prizefighter in the 81kg final at the Welsh Elite Boxing Championships in March, and the likelihood is that one of those two will go to Glasgow.
Welsh Boxing performance director James Thomas said: "We're lucky enough in Wales to have a fantastic squad of boxers and selecting a team of 11 has been challenging.
"Competition for places has been tough and it's testament to the quality and ability of the 10 in the team that they have been selected to represent Wales in Glasgow.
"With the combination of experience and enthusiasm in the squad I'm confident that Glasgow 2014 will be a great Games for us."
Wales boxing squad for Glasgow 2014: Ashley Brace (Ebbw Vale), 51kg; Joe Cordina (Cardiff), 60kg; Kody Davies (Pontllanfraith), 91kg; Zack Davies (Carmarthen), 64kg; Fred Evans (Cardiff), 69kg; Charlene Jones (Haverfordwest), 60kg; Lauren Price (Caerphilly), 75kg; Sean McGoldrick (Newport), 56kg; Andrew Selby (Barry), 52kg; Ashley Williams (Bridgend), 49kg

Dallas Cowboys 2014 Draft Needs: Wide receivers
I could see the Cowboys spending a mid-round or late-round pick on a receiver to shore up depth at that position. The Cowboys have invested two years in developing Tim Benford, so this would appear to be a make-or-break year for him. Adding another receiver in the draft enables the Cowboys to deal with the potential loss of Austin and provide more competition for Beasley.

I though he looked good for you guys in the preseason but his best days are clearly behind him due to his knee. He is done like I said in the thread when you guys brought him in sad his career had to end like this he was a hell of a player back in the day.
rumor is he was cut for not practicing which was the same reason the Bears didnt play him much last season. His knee was so bad for us he hardly ever practiced last year but still excepted to start that is why we cut him.

Blues skipper critical of unfit Weepu
The underperforming Blues have suffered because of All Blacks half-back Piri Weepu's poor shape according to team captain Keven Mealamu.
The Blues have underperformed in Super Rugby with just one win from six games and many people have pointed the finger at Weepu, recruited after falling out with Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett last year.
Mealamu, who admitted he was lacking confidence in his own game, says Weepu was needed by the Blues but his fitness was letting him down.
"He's probably not in the top condition that he's been in in his career and that's what we really need from him, to be at that top fitness level," he told Radio Sport on Wednesday.
"If he'd turned up in better condition then he'd be able to contribute more to us.
"That's something he's going to have to look at, we're going to have to look at as well. We're all professionals here, we should never have to turn up in that sort of shape."
Weepu has not had as much game time as might have been expected but Mealamu said the half-back was "a player that we can definitely do with out there".
Mealamu hasn't been in peak form himself and said he was "lacking a bit of confidence at the moment".
"I think that's across the board in our team. As the season's gone on, in lacking a bit of confidence, the boys have sort of made errors that we're all dropping our heads at the moment," he said.
"It hurts that I haven't been able to lead this team in getting those results. I don't think we've ever been in this position before."
Blues coach Pat Lam has also been under fire but Mealamu said the team backed him and were committed to performing for him.
The Blues play the Sharks at Eden Park on Friday night.

Can I Still Lose Weight With Iron Deficiency?
I eat healthy as I can. Since I am lactose intolant I can`t drink the right amount of milk. I tryed to follow the Canadian Food Guide but there is no way I can eat that much food in one day. I also don`t eat that much grain or meat a day. I might have 2 servings of grain a week. I can eat a little bit of meat but if I eat any more I throw up trying to eat it. I mostly eat fruit, veggies and chicken. The only thing I drink is water and I drink 3-4 liters a day.
I have iron defenncy anemia. I have RA and my doctor told me that I have to slow down and not do so much. I am over weight but can`t find a way to lose the weight. I try to do more exercise and my RA flares that I can`t walk or get out of bed.
I can take a bowl of raw brochili and califlower, banana and an orange for my lunch at work. I might take a sandwich once a week. I have high blood pressure from the Prednisone I take for my RA so I don`t eat or cook with salt. Is there any thing else that I can do to lose the weight in a healthy way?
The other thing that I was think of becoming a vegetarian but I already have anemia I am afaird to stop eating the little bit of red meat that I do eat. What are your thoughts on being a vegetarian, and are tthere any good websites on what food that could be eaten to meet iron needs?
Thanks for your question. As your diet is already very limited and you have iron deficiency, I would not recommend a vegetarian diet if you are trying to lose weight.
Although animal foods (eggs, butter, cheese, meat, ice cream, etc) can be higher in fat and calories, protein from lean meat or fish provides satiety, which means you eat less in between each meal. Iron deficiency may also impact your metabolism by lowering it, so you'd be wise to take an iron supplement if you are going to limit your meat consumption.
Your difficulty in losing weight may stem from limiting calories too much, which can then drop your metabolism. My best advice is to meet with a Registered Dietitian who can give you an individualized meal plan based on your calorie needs, lifestyle and food preferences. The Canadian Dietetic Association may be able to help you locate one.
In regards to lactose intolerance, you may be able to tolerate yogurt and low fat cheese. Both are good sources of calcium and protein, which may aid in weight reduction.
Finally, regular aerobic exercise like walking, biking, running, etc. should be done at least 5 days/week to burn calories and maintain muscle for weight loss, as well as maintenance of weight loss.
Keep up the fruit and vegetable intake as well.
Good luck!

(The Bay Side Krew) a gang of punks and thugs whose turf includes the east side / belmont shore areas in the city of Long Beach, CA. Headquartered in East Long Beach, BSK members can most often be found chilling in the shade of an old maple tree on the penninsula in Belmont shore. Also gangmembers can often be sighted driving around in THE BSK mobile, which is used to transport soldiers of THE BSK regime. BSK members like to chill all day every day, and are often times extreemly intoxicated. BSK members are generally regarded as straight chillers but if you challenge them to a game of ultimate frisbee they will most likely fuck your shit up. Most BSK activities include straight chillin with the hommies, slappin the bitches, jockin the hoes, spitin gangsta ass beats that make your head bop, straight chillin, and selling banned substances. A primitive form of the BSK has been present since 1994 but the gang was not offically founded until the summer of 2008. If you do not know who the founding members of THE BSK are, then you are not worthy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt's defensive staff has a Cleveland Browns flavor.
Whisenhunt continued putting together his staff Monday by announcing the hiring of defensive coordinator Ray Horton and defensive backs coach Louie Cioffi, who each filled the same roles this season in Cleveland. The Browns fired head coach Rob Chudzinski after the season.
During the 2011 and 2012 seasons, Horton was defensive coordinator and Cioffi was defensive backs coach in Arizona while Whisenhunt was the Cardinals' head coach.
The Browns ranked ninth in the NFL in total defense this season, up from 23rd in 2012.
Horton said Monday in a team release that, "I am excited about this opportunity, to be reunited with Coach Whisenhunt and to be a piece of the puzzle to move this team forward."

The death of a 2-month-old boy at day care center in Mission Hills was still unexplained today, but police said there didn't seem to be foul play.
About 5 p.m. Monday, a caregiver at Kary's Daycare Center on Marklein Avenue went to get the boy ready to go home and found he wasn't breathing, Los Angeles police Lt. Paul Vernon said.
She started CPR and called 911. Paramedics kept trying to resuscitate him and took him to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center. But medics and doctors could not save him.
It was the first time the baby had been left at the center, Vernon said.
Detectives and a coroner's investigator examined the child and the daycare facility and said there did not seem to be foul play. The death was listed as undetermined pending an autopsy.
Reached by phone this morning, Kary's owner Karina Vasquez said, "I have my license. I have all the permits. The authorities came and say everything is OK. I have nothing else to declare."

Reggie Griffin wasn't likely to stay retired for long. The former chief of produce and floral at Cincinnati-based Kroger has gone into business to share insights from a decade at the helm of one of the nation's largest grocery retailers.
Griffin's new business venture, Reggie Griffin Strategies, Hilton Head, S.C., was born out of a career spent trying to figure out the "ultimate consumer."
"I fell in love with this mantra," Griffin said. "I've spent most of my corporate life trying to appeal to and satisfy the ultimate consumer."
Many in the supply chain "get" the idea of an "ultimate consumer," the one who actually shops the supermarket or places the orders at a foodservice establishment, Griffin said, but many do not.
"For us to significantly grow the sales of fresh produce and floral, it will take collaboration of the supply side along with the demand side to accomplish it," he said. "Many companies spend their marketing dollars ineffectively."
Griffin said the key to marketing to this consumer is that collaboration.
"I've seen it happen before and know that it is effective," he said. "Many in the produce industry look at the demand side, where I spent the majority of my career, and only see a buyer with a purchase order. That is a narrow view. A retailer today has to wear many hats to be successful."
That includes knowing the customer, expertise in procurement, distribution, strategic development, team building and managing change.
"My 40-plus years in retail with the last ten years leading the produce and floral team at the U.S.'s largest supermarket chain has given me some insights and experiences that could help some companies today," he said. "But most of all, I look forward to staying involved in the produce and floral industry in some capacity."
Griffin said a website, ReggieGriffinStrategies.com, is planned to go live by the end of January. It will include specifics of the services he plans to offer, including strategic planning, retail brand building, effective team and organizational structure, supply chain management, food safety and retail design.

THE hearing for the second part of Stephen Lee's appeal against his 12-year ban from snooker has concluded with a decision expected later this week, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) announced on Monday.
Lee, who has trained at the 147 Club on Station Road, was given the ban last September after being found guilty of seven charges of match-fixing dating back to 2008 and 2009.
The 39-year-old from Trowbridge, a former world number five, has continually protested his innocence.
His two-part appeal began with him challenging the use of Adam Lewis QC as chair of the independent disciplinary tribunal that heard the case and, in February, Lee was unsuccessful in that instance.
In the second part of the appeal, he is challenging the guilty verdict.
A WPBSA statement read: "On Monday May 12, 2014 Nicholas Stewart QC sat as the Appeals Committee to hear the remaining parts of Stephen Lee's appeal against the finding that he was in breach of the WPBSA Rules for match and spot fixing in connection with seven matches in 2008-9.
"The appeal was against the finding, sanction and the costs order imposed by Adam Lewis QC in September 2013.
"The hearing has concluded and Nicholas Stewart QC's decision is expected to be given later this week."

AKG K 550 Headphones
Made for long listening sessions

More from Ralph Graves
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
I really like it when I can review a set of headphones by living with them for a while. That was the case with the AKG K 550 stereo headphones. I've listened to them at work — about every day for a month. The sessions have run at least a couple of hours every day (usually while I'm working on something at the computer). The headphones might be considered a little too high end for most people, but for my workaday listening, they fit right in the pocket.
The first and foremost consideration is sound quality, of course, and the 550s deliver. The soundfield is a little closed in, but when I turned up the volume, the field seemed to expand nicely.
Natural sound from acoustic instruments
I listened to a wide range of music through the headphones, and overall they reproduced the sound with great accuracy and clarity. The earcups kept the soundfield fairly closed in, but within that space it was easy to pick out the relative placements of instruments — particularly in acoustic ensembles such as a jazz trio or a symphony orchestra.
Acoustic music seemed very natural through the 550s. To my ears, the headphones did color the sound slightly, giving it a certain amount of warmth. That wasn't an issue for most of the music I played. When I listened to something like Matt Haimovitz playing the Bach solo cello suites, or Keith Jarrett taking a turn on the piano, for example, that warmth seemed to enhance the sound in an attractive way.
Galvanizing performances from electronic instruments
When I moved to primarily electronic musical genres, such as rock, hip hop and dance, that warmth disappeared into the background. The distorted samples and drum beats of mashup artists the Kleptones sounded just as steely and crunchy as it was supposed to.
Bass-heavy tracks had real presence in the low end. And it was a balanced sound. The lows were there, but they didn't overpower the other frequencies. So, for example, Goldie's "Timeless" album had the hard-hitting thuds and thumps drum-and-bass requires, but not at the expense of the vocals or instrumental loops.
A word about sound sources
My listening sessions were done with one of two configurations. The first was computer to headphone amp to headphones. The second was iPod® classic to headphones. In both cases most of the audio tracks I listened to were in Apple Lossless format.
The NuForce Icon 2 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) plugs into my computer via a USB cable. It bypasses my PC's marginal soundcard and uses its own DAC to process the digital music files. The Icon is also a headphone amp, so in addition to receiving a much better signal than they would from the computer's headphone jack, the 550s also were getting the power they needed for optimal operations. It's my preferred setup for at-work listening. The Icon requires a 1/4" plug, but the AKG headphones came with an adapter that screws onto the cord's minijack connector.
I know many people will just use the headphone jack of their portable player or smartphone, so I also listened to the 550s with that setup. Through my iPod® classic, the sound files were being processed by the player's DAC, and its headphone jack powered the 550s.
Listening to the same track through both sources, it was clear that there was a loss of detail just using the iPod classic. The sound seemed softer, and less-defined around the edges. The 550s, even underpowered as they were, still delivered far more detail from my iPod's music than the earbuds that came with it.
A word or two about comfort
As I said earlier, I wore the 550s a lot. Although these are substantial headphones, they never felt like they were weighing down my skull. The earcups are generously padded, and provided plenty of space for my ears inside. The headband has a thin layer of padding, but it's enough (at least for me).
The earcup pads provide most of the support of the headphones, so there's very little downward pressure from the headband. Some of the headphones I've tried have left the top of my head sore — not so with the 550s. I could — and did — wear them comfortably for hours at a time.
The bottom line — good for the long haul
The AKG K 550s are a good high-end headphone choice for less-than high-end listening situations. Although slightly warm, I felt I was getting all the musical detail my sound sources were delivering. And they were comfortable enough to wear all through the work day. And that's more than good enough for me!

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - People living on the coast in Hallandale Beach want city and county leaders to restore the sand washed away by Hurricane Sandy.
Six months after Sandy, the south end of Hallandale Beach near the county line is only a few yards wide in some areas.
"This is a shame. Look at it. It's a crime," said Joe Angileri. "I like to go fishing and bring stuff here and I couldn't do nothing."
"Two years ago, people were standing there all day long because the water wasn't coming up," said Claude Beaupre. "Now, if they come at low tide, two hours later they have to go back home because there's no sand to stay there."
"The hot spots down in segment three are always problematic," said Broward County beach erosion administrator Eric Myers.
Myers said that section of the county didn't qualify for federal beach renourishment money granted to Florida after Sandy. Instead, the county developed a hot spot program to restore areas that need new sand the most.
But the project could take three years to complete and the county must find funding.
"We're hoping that we can be spared a couple more years until we can get sand back on the beach again," said Myers.
Residents worry they don't have much of a beach buffer as hurricane season draws near.
"I mean, they haven't done a thing about it," said Angileri.
"Between sea level rise and the potential increase in storms, maintaining beaches is only going to be harder and more difficult," said Myers.
The city of Hallandale Beach obtained a permit from the state and the Army Corp of Engineers to put sand on that section of the beach, but city leaders must find the $6 million needed for the project.
In Fort Lauderdale, high tide and Superstorm Sandy collapsed portions of State Road A1A into the ocean and destroyed parts of the beach.
A National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study predicts that much of South Florida could be underwater by the year 2100.

Built for Destruction
As much as I enjoy searching the dark corners of the market for stocks to buy regardless of conditions, it is just as important to identify stocks to avoid. This is especially true now, when there are still substantial market obstacles ahead. I do not think earnings season is going to be particularly robust, and the debt ceiling will no doubt create political fiascos and comedies. Even more disconcerting, mutual fund inflows hit the highest level since 2001, and hedge fund leverage is the highest in four years. This type of buying after the 9% move since mid-November is a little scary for a natural contrarian like me.
I am not saying to run out and sell all your stocks. I have never done that and I base my decisions to sell a stock on fundamentals, not market moves. There are sectors and stocks, however, that should be avoided as the valuation and business prospects imply substantial risk no matter what the market does this year....556 more words left in this article.

THE boss of Darwen metal firm WEC said he was looking for his next project in the town after the model Spitfire was unveiled at the weekend.
A replica Spitfire, a twelfth the size of a real one, was erected at the traffic island on The Green, near the White Lion pub, at the Remembrance ceremony on Saturday.
The memorial to the £5,000 raised by Darreners to buy one of the aircraft for the RAF during the Second World War, is the latest in a string of donations made by the firm to the town.
And WEC managing director Steve Hartley said he was 'open to suggestions' for civic projects. He said: "We are always open to suggestions but it has to be something we are interested in.
"It, obviously, has to be metal and in a place where lots of people will see it."
Already this year, the firm had donated a new dome for Darwen Tower after the last one blew off in high winds.
Both the dome and the Spitfire were produced by apprentice engineers in the WEC academy.
Mr Hartley said the Spitfire was one of WEC's best pieces of work. He said: "I drove up to the Spitfire and I was wondering how much I would like it and it really gave me the 'wow' factor.
"You have to have passion with these things and I like aviation and making things in metal.
"It isn't so often somebody approaches you to make a Spitfire. But it means a lot to a lot of people."
Darwen Town Council mayor Eileen Entwistle praised the Spitfire, adding: "I want to thank Mr Hartley and the apprentices for all they have done for the town."
Whitehall Coun Karimeh Foster highlighted Mr Hartley's generosity, adding: "The Spitfire is a new landmark for the town.
"He is helping put Darwen on the map."

Hi Jayne, I thank you for your kind words. What type of CC does your husband have? My husbands is Intreheptic. I understand from this website that he may not show any symptoms like the jaundice with this type of CC. Not sure this is helpful to you but there may be a clinical trial starting in a few months at Mass General- Dr Zhu. Sloan may have one starting. We are waiting to hear back from both centers. There is something called a K-ras mutation and if he has this he may be a candidate for the Sloan trial. Have you heard of this or Cell Path? They suggested that as well, from what I understand (not covered by insurance) it is a blood test that they put in 10-15 petri dishes with that many different combinations of chemo to see what your personal blood responds to. Has anyone suggested this or what the next step is for your husband. We will find out the cancer markers on Tuesday (whether he is responding to Xeloda). CT scan will be after he completes 3rd round of pills. Trying to stay positive, Susan

Tim Cook: Some Mac Production Coming to U.S. Next Year
Tiffany Kaiser
December 6, 2012 12:15 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple CEO Tim Cook
(Source: siliconbeat.com)
He said it's important to create jobs both abroad and in the U.S.
In an extensive interview with
, which was released today, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed that some Mac production would be moved to the United States in 2013.
Earlier this week, a report from
CNN Money
revealed an iMac purchase with the label
"Computer Assembled in USA"
on it. A reader by the name Aaron Gong had bought the 21-inch iMac in a San Jose, California Apple Store just last weekend.
However, another iMac buyer purchased the same unit at the Manhattan Apple Store last week, and it had the expected "Assembled in China" label. Clearly, Apple wasn't moving all Mac production to the U.S., but it sparked some speculation.
Now, Cook said himself that some Mac production will, indeed,
make its way to the U.S.
next year. He also noted that other parts, such as the iPhone's processor, is from the United States as well (Texas, to be exact).
"It's not known well that the engine for the iPhone and iPad is made in the U.S., and many of these are also exported—the engine, the processor," said Cook in the interview. "The glass is made in Kentucky. And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac. We've been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it. It will happen in 2013. We're really proud of it."
further asked what it meant for an American company like Apple to be "patriotic." In other words, how important is it to bring production to the U.S. despite it being cheaper overseas?
"I do feel we have a responsibility to create jobs," said Cook. "I don't think we have a responsibility to create a
kind of job, but I think we do have a responsibility to create jobs. I think we have a responsibility to give back to the communities, to pick ways that we can do that … and not just in the U.S., but abroad as well.
"I've never thought a company's
measurement of job creation
should be limited to the number of employees working directly for them. That's a very old-time way of measuring. Our iOS platform allows developers to work as entrepreneurs and sell their applications to a worldwide market that didn't exist previously. The mobile software industry was nascent before the iPhone. Now you've got hundreds of thousands of developers out there.
"Unlike other companies—at least I know of no other large companies—almost all of our R&D is sitting in California. It's a part of our model. We do this because it's important for people to run into each other and discuss ideas and collaborate. We're building a multibillion-dollar headquarters to house them in what we think will be the center of creativity. We're building a campus in Austin for people in Texas. We're building three data centers—adding to the one we have in Maiden [N.C.] and establishing new sites in Oregon and in Nevada."
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
