WILMINGTON, Ill. — Ret. Lt. Commander Iola M. Mombrun, USN, 83, of Plymouth, Minn., and formerly Wilmington, Ill., passed away Thursday, Oct. 25, 2012, at Emeritus Memory and Alzheimer Care in Joliet, Ill.
Visitation and video tribute will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2 at Freitag-Reeves & Baskerville Funeral Home, 700 East Kahler Road, Wilmington. Funeral services will follow at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, in the funeral home, with the Rev. Kevin Boesen from the First United Methodist Church in Reddick, Ill., officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery, Wilmington.
Born Feb. 2, 1929, in Wilmington, Ill., Iola was a daughter of the late Louis E. and Alice Dare-Mombrun. She was raised in Wilmington, graduated from Wilmington High School with the Class of 1947, and continued her education at Illinois State University in Normal, Ill., where she earned her Bachelor's of Science degree.
She was proud to have been a catcher for the Wilmington Ladies Softball League. After college, Iola went to work as a teacher. She taught both physical education and driver's education, first in Casey, Ill.,, and later Oak Lawn, Ill.
In 1957, Iola enlisted with the United States Navy, where she honorably served around the globe, holding positions in Europe, Guam, Hawaii, and the East, West and Southern coasts of the United States. During her tenure with the Navy, Iola held a multi-rated pilots license and held a variety of personnel, administrative and aircraft maintenance roles. After earning her rank as a Naval Officer, she was also responsible for providing the repair of aircraft components in support of five patrol squadrons, jet training squadron, helo squadron, plus transmitting aircraft.
Upon her honorable discharge after 20 years of dedicated service, Iola enjoyed the following 10 years traveling extensively to places that included, but were not limited to, the continental United States, Canada and Alaska.
It was in the late 1980s that she took on a new career with Honeywell in the state of Georgia, and this job moved her back home to the Joliet Arsenal and then onto Golden Valley, Minn., from where she retired. Amidst her careers, Iola also sold real estate for the Bale Agency in Wilmington, and was an accomplished pianist and organist.
She was a member of the Golden Valley Seniors in Minnesota, the Good Sam Club, and the Illinois State Teachers Alumni Association, to name a few. Iola greatly loved bowling, skiing, camping, playing cards and flower gardening. She was a great collector and truly appreciated such collectibles as Wedgwood, Beleek, Waterford and Irish Porcelain.
In her recent years, Iola cherished being in Minnesota and took advantage of going to the theatre and symphony. She will be remembered for always enjoying a good cup of coffee and caring for her dear feline companion Rascal.
Survivors include her brother, Louis W. "Bud" (Patricia) Mombrun of Reddick, Ill.; nephew Lou (Cathy) Mombrun of Wilmington; nieces Suzette (Ken) Mack of San Jose, Calif., and Sandra (Pat) Thomas of Palm Desert, Calif.; and great nieces and great nephews Alexandria Mombrun, Ryan Mack, Katie Mack, Noah Thomas and Eric Thomas.
Iola was preceded in death by her parents.

Warriors guard Klay Thompson will miss his first NBA game Friday against Cleveland as he travels to the Bahamas to attend his paternal grandfather's funeral, and according to the team, his status for Sunday's game at Portland is undetermined.
Dewitt Thompson, the father of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, recently passed away in the Bahamas at age 94.
"Hopefully he takes as much time as he needs," center Andrew Bogut said.
"Those things are more important than basketball, so we respect his time and his needs."
Thompson has a streak of 214 consecutive games played and in a 26-point performance in Wednesday's 111-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers became the first player in NBA history to reach 500 made 3-pointers through his first three seasons.
Thompson is tied for second in the NBA with 178 3-pointers this season.

Oil futures settled at their lowest level in two weeks Wednesday after a report showed U.S. oil supplies rose more than expected last week, confirming doubts that demand is keeping up with supply.
A disappointing reading on U.S. nonmanufacturing activity also raised concerns about weak U.S. fuel demand, weighing on prices.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery settled down $1.81, or 1.6%, at $109.24 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange recently fell $1.28, or 1%, to $121.17 a barrel.
Oil inventories rose 3.4 million barrels last week, the Department of Energy said in its closely watched report on U.S. oil and fuel product inventories. Oil supplies have been climbing steadily in recent months as refineries switch gears to ramp up gasoline production for the summer driving season. But the increase was greater than the 2 million-barrel build expected from analysts, signalling less demand from refiners.
"This inventories report is not encouraging any buying," said Matt Smith, oil analyst at Summit Energy in Louisville, Ky.
Gasoline stockpiles fell 1 million barrels, while inventories of distillates, including heating oil and diesel, fell 1.4 million barrels, according to the DOE's Energy Information Administration.
Analysts predicted gasoline stocks would rise 100,000 barrels. They were looking for distillate stocks to climb 400,000 barrels.
Oil prices were lower throughout the day, beginning their steep drop after the Institute for Supply Management said the U.S. nonmanufacturing sector grew less than expected last month. Oil traders are closely scrutinizing reports on economic activity in the U.S., the world's largest crude consumer, and any sign that the recovery is not on track tends to weigh on prices.
The ISM's nonmanufacturing purchasing managers' index dropped to 52.8 last month from 57.3 in March. Forecasters surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected the April PMI to slip to 57.0. Readings above 50 indicate expanding activity.
"We are moving on growth and if there is none, there goes oil," said Carl Larry, director of energy derivatives and research at Blue Ocean Brokerage in New York.
Crude on the Nymex has fallen more than 4% this week as concerns about U.S. demand levels have come into focus. The decline comes amid signs that consumers are starting to cut back on gasoline purchases as pump prices close in on the psychologically important threshold of $4 a gallon. A gallon of regular on Wednesday, on average, cost $3.98 a gallon, according to auto club AAA.
The EIA report showed gasoline demand last week fell 2.2%. For the full month of April, gasoline demand fell 1.9%--the biggest drop in four-week demand levels in more than a year.
On Tuesday, a SpendingPulse report released by MasterCard Advisors LLC showed U.S. weekly gasoline demand fell 1% last week.
Crude could see further losses later this week if additional readings on the U.S. economy fail to impress. The Labor Department's April nonfarm payrolls report, the most closely watched reading on U.S. hiring, is due Friday.
"This market has a lot of hot air between here and $106.75, so we're really going to drift lower," said Tony Rosado, a broker with GA Global Markets.
Front-month June reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, settled down 0.69 cent, or 0.2%, to $3.3225 a gallon. June heating oil settled down 4.78 cents, or 1.5%, to $3.1430 a gallon.

Yea I find it funny how 2K only has him at a 75. He should be a 79 in my opinion. I love when Hill is on the floor.
Why you Grimpin?
There are 4 other players on the Pacers that are paid more than Hill. Shouldn't they be the ones that are at fault if this team doesn't win? I mean if those 4 higher players aren't good enough to win with Hill at the point... That's on Paul. That's on Roy. That's on West. That's on Granger. Those are the 4 all-stars on this team that should be good enough to lead this team to a championship even if Derrick Fisher is starting at point. Or Mario Chalmers.
Well said! It's his low-key personality compared to the other starters that maybe keeps the bobblehead sales down. I'd love to see more homegrown players on the roster.
[~]) ... Cheers! Go Pacers!
Elite defensive point guard... since when???
There are a number of reasons. The fact he's not an elite defender like Rondo isn't one of them. First he didn't go to IU...or even Purdue...or even the big ten. If he had followed Eric Gorden's path he would be worshipped. IUPUI just doesn't cut it. Second he left town immediately and played a backup role in the western conference. So the masses either never knew him or forgot about him. The articles about him indicating he didn't want to come back to Indy did not help. I don't even want to get into what he said about Indy...and if you know about all this I wonder why it's even a surprise to you.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
I don't think that he is the least-loved Pacer.
He's probably 3rd or 4th most-loved, after Roy and Paul, then maybe tied with or just after the BAMF.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
He's the 4th most liked starter. I love George Hill and so do the fans.
Smothered Chicken!
I am a huge fan of G. Hill and want him to be taking shots at the ends of games because he has shown himself (other than in the Knicks game) to be very clutch. He has already hit a lot of game winners for us and I always love players that do that! That being said of the starters he does fall behind Hibbert, BAMF and PG. If we had to choose him or Lance I would keep him. But if we had to choose between him and the other guys it would be no conversation at all.
He is also not a true pg and our offense suffers sometimes because of it. Our D is great though so it works out.
Because he goes under the screen every single time
There's a difference between being liked as a person and a community member... and liked for the "special" things that one does on the court.
When it comes to "loved as a community member", I would say that Hill is probably in the top 2 or 3.
When it comes to "loved as a basketball player", he clearly is 5 or 6. That's not because he's not a good basketball player. It's because there are other players on the team that are better.
That circumstance is a lot different than being unloved.
Dude has ice water in his veins. His buzzer beater against the Lakers last year was one of my favorite moments from last season.
One thing I noticed about Hill, he never screws up. He never does anything too great or flashy to get that on-court recognition (except for his clutch plays), but he also never does anything terribly wrong. Most of our players will do something that gets a "what the hell are you doing??" reaction from me at least once or twice a game. I've noticed I rarely catch myself saying that about Hill.
I didn't know GH was the least loved. But I do know that the ignorant talk endlessly about the "need for a true point guard" on this team. They have a mindset that the "point guard" is the only one who can do a defined set of things for the team. IND doesn't use that formula, neither do quite a few teams. I seriously doubt that Vogel is concerned when he doesn't have a "point guard" on the court at the moment.
Those position designations are not all that important when it comes down to it.
First off, the article says "least popular starter" (emphasis mine), not "least popular Pacer". And when you think that two of them are Roy and Paul, do you think he'd rate higher? People seem to love Lance because he has worked hard and come from a negative viewpoint into a very positive one, and they love DWest because - well, because he's the BAMF. I don't think it is a matter of not loving GHill, it is that he has no real unique identity to latch on to.
And, besides, at the games he still gets a pretty big cheer when he is introduced.
I think this is a thread trying to tie people's preferences in who and what they see on the floor into love or hate for a particular player. Can we stop doing that?
After all, when I first read the subject, I thought it was going to be about Damon Bailey.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
The major complaint that we've had with previous point guards is that they could not slow down the movement and penetration of the ball. They took away nothing. As a result, Hibbert was a foul machine. Hill, on the other hand, enables Hibbert the time he needs to survey the scene and to best position himself to be prepared for what is about to happen. I'm not taking anything away from Roy, he's worked very hard to elevate his defensive performance. What I am saying is that a point guard like Hill... and a wing like Paul... make his job a whole lot easier than it might have been. Same for West.
We don't give up points in the paint as much as other teams for a lot of reasons. We have good individual defenders and a great rim protector. But we no longer have a turnstile at the opponent's point of attack. That makes a huge difference. I don't think we should nitpick on the use of the term "elite"; I do think we should give Hill his due.
Isn't Stephesnson the least loved Pacer? I mean that guy really gets on everybody's nerves. It's just the way he plays though.
I like GHill a lot. I also can't comprehend why some wanted him to be traded. He has been a part of the system (both on offense and defense). He does what he does best.
Pacers + Colts + Seahawks = Game mode on!
Anywho. All I'm saying is we should probably appreciate him a little bit. I think it's a special, unique thing we got in Hill. Doesn't happen every day a hometown kid comes in and plays a huge role.
To answer your question ^ Lance as a Pacer is beloved by all Pacers fans, quite clearly. Outside of Indiana is a different story tho lol I'm sure many outside of Indiana can't stand the guy.
Hill is my fourth favorite Pacer right after Hibbert, Granger, and George.
And when I say least loved Pacer I mean this- If someone had said in 1996 Antonio Davis was the 5th or 6th loved Pacer, that wouldn't be damning. There was a ton of beloved Pacers on that team. Antonio was universally loved by Pacers fans. This was undeniable.
I'm not sure exactly how to say, but I definitely think you cannot say the same with Hill. I don't think he's universally loved. I think some tolerate him. I'm not saying he should necessarily be more loved than PG or Roy (tho he is to me), I'm just suggesting he should be universally loved as a Pacers favorite even if that means he's the 5th favorite starting Pacer on the team now. Does that make sense?
We're sort of arguing over semantics here I guess. Not intentionally tho.
Are you referring to his complaining about how the fans weren't supporting the team last year? If so, he was 1000% right! If anyone holds a grudge against him for that, that person isn't a Pacer fan or isn't very smart.
Better than Mark Jackson? That might be a serious stretch. But there's no shame in not being a PG of Mark Jackson's caliber. I agree Hill's defense is better but Mark Jackson was a very fine PG with some serious skill on the offensive end of the court and with some great chemistry with Reggie.
That said, I'm a fan of George Hill.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
PG has become a superstar who could very well become the best Pacer ever. It looks like he's going to have a chance at being a top 5 player for the next decade.
Roy has been an all-star and is the big fella who anchors our defense. He is a very unique player who is completely irreplaceable.
David West is a former all who is the wise old vet in this starting unit. His addition two years ago brought in a wave of professionalism and swagger that we desperately needed. No single move changed the attitude of our team more than the addition of this guy. He has shown guys like Hibbert and PG what it means to be the professional.
Lance is the feisty young enigma who grew up on the streets of Brooklyn and was drafted in the second round. He is exciting because he virtually has sky high potential right now, and no one knows exactly how great he can be.
George Hill is the most "average" of the starters from an excitability standpoint, IMHO. I don't mean that in a bad way. He is very good and I've been a huge fan of his ever since we brought him in. He is the best Pacer point guard since Mark Jackson. That being said, he is the least unique of the five starters aside from being from Indianapolis. The other four offer something unique that makes them a bit more popular in the eyes of the fans. Three of them have been all-stars while the other is an exciting young prospect with very high potential. At this point, we know what we have in Hill, which is perfectly fine BTW because he is very very solid.
It is a poorly kept secret that Hill didn't want to come back to Indy. Not that I can really blame him - I am sure he knows a lot of people here that are trying to hound him, ask him constantly for tickets and money. There are a lot of distractions moving back home. Plus if you're 23 or whatever he was when he got traded here and have seen a lot of different things and people, you may not be really excited about moving back home under any circumstances.
I thought Hill would subtly tell us not to re-sign him when he was an FA. However, I think he struck up an unexpectedly (from his perspective) good friendship with Paul George and gelled with the rest of the team. He also bought a place in a gated community in Geist that probably gives him the privacy he wants. So, he has probably warmed on Indy in the last couple of years and is content here. But, Hill doesn't really have the personality of an outgoing guy under any circumstances, so he's not going to put himself out there expressing love for the city just for the sake of it. He's just a quiet guy and flys under the radar a bit. I love his game though and hope he's in blue and gold for a long time.
I don't care where a player is from. If they can play I don't care if they are from the moon

Editor's note: The following answer is excerpted from a paper that Rick Grant, president of the Miner Institute, presented in October at the Cornell Nutrition Conference.
Q: Can productivity be maintained when feeding higher-forage diets versus diets that are closer to a 50:50 forage-to-concentrate ratio?
A: There is refreshed interest in feeding higher-forage diets to dairy cows. We are now in what seems to be an era of high-priced corn and other feed commodities, which encourages feeding of lower-starch diets. We can achieve lower dietary starch content by either replacing starch with fermentable carbohydrates from non-forage fiber sources or by feeding higher forage-to-concentrate ratios. With higher-forage diets, there are the long-recognized environmental benefits and the beneficial health consequences of feeding higher forage-NDF diets to cows.
Now, more than ever, we require nutrition models that do a good job of predicting forage digestion and passage as we formulate diets containing higher proportions of forage. We need to evaluate multiple pools of fiber for both digestion and passage. Ultimately, our goal will be improved prediction of NDF digestibility and animal response.
A fundamental question when feeding higher-forage diets is whether productivity can be maintained in comparison to a diet with closer to a 50:50 forage-to-concentrate ratio. Also, based on the preceding discussion, what differences exist in chewing behavior and ruminal function between diets containing substantial forage NDF and those containing considerable non-forage NDF?
Recently, we conducted a study at Miner Institute that evaluated how a higher-forage diet based on corn silage compared with a standard diet containing 50 percent forage and a diet containing non-forage sources of fiber in place of corn meal. The high-forage and the non-forage fiber diets both contained similar, and lower, starch content than the standard diet. The standard diet contained 20 percent conventional corn silage, 20 percent BMR corn silage, and 10 percent hay crop silage (mixed, mostly grass) for a total of 50 percent forage in the ration DM. This diet also contained 15 percent corn meal, 8.3 percent soybean meal, 5 percent beet pulp, 5 percent wheat midds, and 16.7 percent of a supplement. In contrast, the higher-forage diet contained 53.3 percent BMR corn silage and 10 percent hay crop silage for a total of 63.3 percent forage in the ration DM. We used BMR corn silage as the primary forage in an effort to enhance the digestibility of NDF from forage. The remainder of the diet was comprised of 6.7 percent soybean meal, 5 percent each of beet pulp and wheat midds, and 16.7 percent of a supplement. The diet based on non-forage sources of fiber contained the same forage sources and amounts as the standard diet (50 percent total forage), but corn meal was reduced to only 3.8 percent of ration DM and replaced with beet pulp (10.8 percent), wheat midds (10.8 percent) and distillers grains with solubles (4.2 percent).
All three diets contained similar crude protein (16.5 percent) and protein fractions, fat (3.9 percent) and sugar (6.8 percent). Ration NDF was lower for the standard diet (34.7 percent) than either the higher- forage or non-forage fiber source diets which were similar (38.1 percent). The peNDF content of the standard diet was also lower (18.5 percent) than the higher-forage diet (25.9 percent) simply reflecting the differences in forage content, and the non-forage fiber source diet was intermediate at 22 percent. Starch content was greatest for the standard diet (26.0 percent) and lower for the higher-forage diet (21.4 percent) and non-forage fiber source diet (21.3 percent).
Dry matter intake was greatest for cows fed the standard diet, intermediate for the non-forage fiber source diet, and lowest for the higher-forage diet. The lower intake for the higher- forage diet likely reflected the higher forage NDF and peNDF content of this diet. The intake of NDF as a percentage of body weight was greater for the higher-forage diet and the non-forage fiber source diet relative to the standard diet. In fact, 1.35 percent of body weight intake of NDF is a very high level of NDF consumption, and consequently the high forage NDF intake may have limited dry matter intake for cows fed the higher-forage diet despite the fact that it was comprised primarily of BMR corn silage. Although milk yield was reduced for cows fed the higher-forage diet, milk fat percentage was elevated, and so solids-corrected milk yield was similar for all diets as was efficiency of solids-corrected milk production.
Total chewing time was greatest for cows fed the higher-forage diet, intermediate for the non-forage fiber diet, and least for the standard diet. Ruminal pH was least for cows fed the standard diet, highest for cows fed the higher-forage diet, and intermediate for the non-forage fiber diet. Finally, microbial protein production was similar for all three diets.
The results of this study show us that we can successfully feed higher-forage diets if the forage contains highly digestible NDF (as in the case of BMR corn silage).
The question remains: how can we best model forage particle dynamics in the rumen to consistently formulate successful high-forage diets? (Note: Elsewhere in the paper, Grant describes efforts of the "Fiber Working Group," a multi-year collaborative research effort to improve the current nutrition models, with a particular focus on the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System.)

On the Friday, July 20, Inside Washington on PBS, regular panel member Nina Totenberg - a correspondent for NPR - generalized that "bankers and business" are not only the "super-rich" but also the "super-crooked" as the panel discussed the issue of Mitt Romney's taxes and President Barack Obama's "you didn't build that" gaffe in which he dismissed the importance of individual effort in entrepreneurship while crediting government. Totenberg:
You do have two views of the economy, and one of the reasons I think that the tax thing does play, other than all the obvious reasons, is, we have the latest banking scandal, the Libor scandal, and business thinks that Obama's the enemy. But bankers and business increasingly are distanced from the American public. They're the super-rich. They're the super-crooked, it appears, and people can't figure out how to get out of this, and-
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer then jumped in:
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Obama was not speaking about the bankers. He was speaking about entrepreneurs-
NINA TOTENBERG: I understand that.
KRAUTHAMMER: -and individuals. And he said, "If you think it's your success, it's because of the infrastructure that the government had created."
TOTENBERG: That's actually not what he said.
KRAUTHAMMER: You got to read the, you play the whole long quote, that's exactly what he says.

State files $5,475 tax lien against embattled Lawrence Mayor William Lantigua
Just a few days after announcing his reelection bid, Lawrence Mayor William Lantigua has been served with a $5,475 tax lien for failing to pay state income tax in 2011.
The state revenue department last week filed the lien against Lantigua, whose three-year tenure has been dogged by controversy and a corruption investigation. A spokeswoman said the department took the step after Lantigua did not respond to several notices over at least six months.
"When we file a lien, it means we have not heard from a taxpayer,'' said spokeswoman Ann Dufresne.
The amount includes $710 in penalties and interest.
Lantigua filed a 2011 tax return, Dufresne said. She declined to say whether he had paid any state income tax, citing privacy guidelines.
Lantigua, who earns $100,000 a year as mayor, could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Lawrence is a poor and largely Latino city of 76,000 about 30 miles north of Boston.
The Eagle-Tribune first reported the lien Thursday, a day after the lien was recorded at the registry of deeds.
The lien attaches to Lantigua's personal property, Dufresne said.
"It's a notice of personal liability,'' she said. "We're protecting our interests.''
Tax liens impede property sales and make it "virtually impossible'' for someone to obtain a mortgage, according to the revenue department.
If Lantigua does not pay the bill, the state can turn to a collection agency, seek a bank levy, or garnish his paycheck.
Two close allies of Lantigua, including his former chief of staff, were indicted in September on corruption charges, including conspiracy and extortion. Both men have pleaded not guilty. Lantigua is the target of a corruption probe by federal and state authorities, for allegations of corruption. Lantigua has denied wrongdoing and he has not been charged with any crimes.
Dan Rivera, a city councilor in Lawrence, said Lantigua's failure to pay his taxes in full and on time was troubling, and set a poor example.
"As the chief executive, you have to have a higher standard, especially at a time when the city is raising taxes and being as frugal as possible,'' he said. "There are some things you just have to do.''
Rivera said that the lapse was particularly glaring given how much the city relies on state subsidies.
Rivera also noted that Lantigua has not filed a required campaign finance report for 2011. The state's office of campaign and political finance said Lantigua had been fined $5,000.
"I definitely get a sense that there's a pattern here,'' he said.
City Councilor Kendrys Vasquez said the nonpayment was hard to understand given Lantigua's high salary.
"We all face difficulties nowadays, but we have to be responsible,'' he said.
Councilor Sandy Almonte said the lapse was "obviously concerning,'' and she hoped Lantigua would resolve the matter quickly.
"We don't want this to be another raincloud over the city,'' she said.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a bacterial infection transmitted by a tick. Without prompt treatment, Rocky Mountain spotted fever can cause serious damage to internal organs, such as your kidneys and heart.
Although it was first identified in the Rocky Mountains, Rocky Mountain spotted fever is most commonly found in the southeastern part of the United States. It also occurs in parts of Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America.
Early signs and symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever include severe headache and high fever. A few days later, a rash usually appears on the wrists and ankles. Rocky Mountain spotted fever responds well to prompt treatment with antibiotics.
Although many people become ill within the first week after infection, signs and symptoms may not appear for up to 14 days. Initial signs and symptoms of Rocky Mountain spotted fever often are nonspecific and can mimic those of other illnesses:
The red, nonitchy rash associated with Rocky Mountain spotted fever typically appears a few days after the initial signs and symptoms begin. The rash usually makes its first appearance on your wrists and ankles, and can spread in both directions — down into the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet, and up your arms and legs to your torso.
A few people who are infected with Rocky Mountain spotted fever don't ever develop a rash, which makes diagnosis much more difficult.
See your doctor if you develop a rash or become sick after a tick bite. Rocky Mountain spotted fever and other infectious diseases carried by ticks can progress rapidly and may be life-threatening. If possible, take the tick along with you to your doctor's office for laboratory testing.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by infection with the organism Rickettsia rickettsii. Ticks carrying R. rickettsii are the most common source of infection. If an infected tick attaches itself to your skin and feeds on your blood for six to 10 hours, you may pick up the infection. But, you may never see the tick on you.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever primarily occurs when ticks are most active and during warm weather when people tend to spend more time outdoors. Rocky Mountain spotted fever cannot be spread from person to person.
Factors that may increase your risk of contracting Rocky Mountain spotted fever include:
You can reduce your risk of infection by taking steps to prevent exposure to ticks.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever damages the lining of your smallest blood vessels, causing the vessels to leak or form clots. This may cause:
You'll likely start by seeing your family doctor. In some cases, you might be referred to a doctor who specializes in infectious diseases.
Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For Rocky Mountain spotted fever, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be difficult to diagnose because the early signs and symptoms are similar to those caused by many other diseases.
Laboratory tests can check a blood sample, rash specimen or the tick itself for evidence of the organism that causes the infection. Because early treatment with antibiotics is so important, doctors don't wait for these test results before starting treatment if Rocky Mountain fever is strongly suspected.
People who develop Rocky Mountain spotted fever are much more likely to avoid complications if treated within five days of developing symptoms. That's why your doctor will probably have you begin antibiotic therapy before receiving conclusive test results.
Doxycycline (Monodox, Vibramycin, others) is the most effective treatment for Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but it's not a good choice if you're pregnant. In that case, your doctor may prescribe chloramphenicol as an alternative.
You can decrease your chances of contracting Rocky Mountain spotted fever by taking some simple precautions:
Remove a tick with tweezers. Gently grasp the tick near its head or mouth. Don't squeeze or crush the tick, but pull carefully and steadily. Once you have the entire tick removed, apply antiseptic to the bite area.
Though there are many purportedly effective methods for helping to remove a tick, such as petroleum jelly, alcohol or even applying a hot match to the tick's body, none is a good method for tick removal.

THQ bankruptcy reveals four unannounced games: 1666, Crawler, Atlas, and Evolve
Yesterday, THQ announced it is filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In doing so, a slew of unannounced games were revealed, along with the company's sales expectations. A total of four games were uncovered along with some brief details about each one.
In a statement yesterday, THQ expressed confidence in its existing pipeline of games and assured it will continue operating its business during the sale period "without interruption", subject to Court approval. All of THQ's studios will also remain open, and all development teams will continue working on their projects, so there's a good chance we'll see these games somewhere down the line.
The most intriguing game is from Assassin's Creed creator Patric Desilits who left his role at Ubisoft Montreal last year to head up new studio THQ Montreal. The game is titled 1666, and it's presumed to be another historical action title. If true, it could be related to the great fire of London which began on September 2, 1666.
Another title, codenamed Crawler, was being developed by Vigil, the developer of the Darksiders series. It's unknown if this was a third game in the franchise or a new IP.
The third game is codenamed Atlas. This is being developed by THQ-owned studio Relic. Relic is also currently working on Company of Heroes 2 which is due out on PC in 2013.
The last game has the working title Evolve which THQ filed a trademark for back in February 2012. This game is being headed by Turtle Rock Studios who helped in the initial stages of Valve's zombie shooter Left4Dead.
Additionally, two charts were included listing sales expectations and revenue projections for each game. It also details how the budget for each will be spread throughout the financial years. Clearly, a lot goes into publishing and developing a game. Perhaps these charts will give you a little insight for how complicated the industry can be; it's not just coming up with a great game idea.

Deadmau5 and Kat Von D Engaged After Twitter Proposal
Forget the news last month that Deadmau5 and Kat Von D had split up. Not only are the EDM DJ and tattoo artist together again, but the latest word is that they're engaged to be married after Deadmau5 popped the question via perhaps the most romantic and old-fashioned forum imaginable: Twitter.
"I can't wait for Christmas so…. Katherine Von Drachenberg, will you marry me?" Deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) wrote Saturday (Dec. 15) in a tweet that was accompanied by a picture of a diamond ring. Kat responded with a series of 15 exclamation points ("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was her actual tweet), which we assume was her way of accepting, because the Mau5 man soon followed the up with the big news: "holy f—ing s—. im engaged and stuff!"
Soon the happy couple was thanking friends and well-wishers with additional posts. "Mi corazon!!! Thank you all for the lovely congratulations! Please excuse me while I go squeeze the hell out of my fiancé!" Von D wrote in one tweet, which Deadmau5 followed with his own: "thanks for the well wishes and support from the horde and everyone else! brb while i spend the rest of my evening with my future wife."
Deadmau5 is an EDM DJ who earlier this year landed at No. 6 on the Forbes magazine Electronic Cash Kings list after raking in a reported $11.5 million in 12 months, while Kat Von D is tattoo artist who became famous after appearing on the TLC reality show, 'Miami Ink.' News of their relationship surfaced in September, after they reportedly met at a party, and while the couple did announce their breakup just over a month ago on — you guessed it, via Twitter — their split didn't seem particularly nasty. "I guess im not cut out for relationships right now, Deadmau5 wrote at the time. "No hard feelings."

==============The No. 11 Boise State gymnastics team earned wins over No. 14 Denver and No. 23 BYU at the 2014 edition of the Beauty and the Beast competition at Boise State, Friday night. The Broncos scored a team total of 195.150, topping DU's 194.825 and BYU's 194.675 scores in front of a crowd of 3,393 at Taco Bell Arena. The attendance was the third-largest at a Boise State Beauty and the Beast event.
Three Broncos captured individual titles on the night with Kelsey Morris taking the all-around win while also tying with Ciera Perkins for a win on the uneven bars. Perkins also collected a win on floor exercise and Amanda Otuafi added a win on vault.
The Broncos opened the night on vault earning a 49.175 team total. Otuafi led the team with a score of 9.90, earning her sixth-career win on vault. Perkins followed just behind with a 9.875 score and a second-place finish while Maddie Krentz tied her career-best of 9.850 to tie for third.

Urquhart, a freshman, earned a 9.775 and tied for fourth, while fellow freshman Mejia placed ninth with a 9.675. Morris tied for 10th with a 9.650 followed by Jacobsen in 17th (9.20) and Krentz in 18th (8.30).

Krentz and Wossner shared the sixth-place spot with 9.775 scores, while Otuafi tied for 10th (9.750). Black tied for 12th with a score of 9.725 and Morris tied for 15th (9.70) as the final two Broncos in the lineup.
Morris' efforts earned her a score of 38.950 as well as her first-career all-around title. Krentz competed in the all-around for the first time in her career earning a score of 37.625 and placing third overall.
BYU's Megan Bain was the only non-Bronco to win an event outright, claiming the beam title with a 9.850. Denver's Moriah Martin shared the bars title with Perkins and Morris, while teammate Nina McGee shared the floor win with Perkins.
The Broncos hold a 14-1 record in Beauty and the Beast competitions held at home, while improving to 4-1 on the season.

WHITTIER >> Working in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Rio Hondo College is hosting "Transitway," an exhibition featuring the work of four Los Angeles-based artists now through Feb. 28.
The artists, who were commissioned for the Metro El Monte Station, will showcase new and original works of art in the Rio Hondo Art Gallery, 3600 Workman Mill Road.
"The El Monte Station is the largest bus facility west of Chicago, so thousands of people are exposed to this wonderful art on a daily basis," Rio Hondo President Teresa Dreyfuss said. "The college is excited to showcase this artwork to our students, many of whom live in the city of El Monte and commute to our campus every day."
The four artists whose work will be displayed are Vincent Ramos, Eloy Torrez, Martin Durazo and Phung Huynh.
Ramos' work pays homage to the rich cultural contribution of the El Monte Legion Stadium, a hotbed of entertainment activity in its heyday.
Torrez explores transitions and movement, energy and patterns that people create on their travels. Durazo uses swirling vibrant colors to energetically mirror the ever-changing intersection of cultures and environments in the Los Angeles area.
Huynh's artwork is informed by the city of El Monte's transformations through the use of symbolic and metaphoric imagery.
"Rio Hondo College has a top-tier Arts & Cultural Program with faculty who are artists themselves," said Rio Hondo Trustee Norma Edith García. "This is a groundbreaking opportunity for our college to facilitate a dialogue between L.A. artists and the larger community, including students and residents of El Monte, thanks to our partnership with Metro."
The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.
Admission is free to the public, but there is a $3 parking fee.
An opening reception is scheduled from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday with an artist panel discussion starting at 7 p.m. in the Blackbox Theatre in the Campus Inn.

It's one thing to expect employees to be capable of operating equipment as befitting their job descriptions.
…but Gary had quite a "driving test" lined up for him last week.
As you may recall, we're adding a shade structure to the Wildebeest queue this season.
Crews are pouring the cement footers for the shade supports, but few jobs come without a challenge. Because of the remote location of the work, concrete is having to be ferried by the bucketful (or rather, front-end-loader-ful) around the Bahari Wave Pool and up into the queue at Wildebeest.
Witnessing Gary's steady hand coaxing the Bobcat up the ramp and down again in reverse was like watching someone thread a giant needle without even squinting. There was no spilled concrete and not even a scratch on the Wildebeest queue.
Wonder if he can parallel park that thing?

WOODLAND — Notre Dame felt it didn't put its best foot forward in losing the Central Coast Section Division V girls volleyball final on Saturday.
Tuesday, with a chance for redemption, the Sprits showed Woodland Christian how good they can be while advancing to the second round of the CIF Northern California playoffs.
Behind a strong effort from senior setter Erin DeSerpa and a slew of capable hitters, Notre Dame beat the host Cardinals 25-8, 25-13, 25-16 in a match that was as one-sided as the score suggests. Next Notre Dame will face top-seed Branson of Ross on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the College of Marin.
The Spirits (24-11) trailed only briefly against Woodland Christian (21-13), the Sac-Joaquin Section champions, that deficit coming three points into the second set. Otherwise Notre Dame put together a handful of scoring runs like the 10-point stretch that blew open the final set. Emily Cunanan's strong serving helped extend a 4-3 Spirits third-set lead to 14-3 and essentially end the match.
"I was very happy with the kids' focus on the court," Notre Dame coach Katie Herrald said. "They were very determined. Our defense and floor coverage was very good."
DeSerpa finished with 25 assists and eight digs. Cunanan and Blake Burnett, two of DeSerpa's top passing options, had nine and eight kills respectively. Cunanan added 16 digs and Burnett seven.
Herrald felt nerves were a factor when the Spirits lost the CCS final in four sets to Priory. Against Woodland Christian, Notre Dame's players were relaxed and smiling on the court. Their effort reflected their comfort level.
"It was much different. I think the kids were definitely disappointed in the way they played the game on Saturday," Herrald said. "(Tuesday) was a chance to get that out of their systems."
Savannah Torres and Shelbea Treanor joined Cunanan and Burnett as scoring options for DeSerpa. The setter did her best to keep her teammates happy and keep the Cardinals off-balance by spreading the ball around.
"(DeSerpa) did a great job of letting all of our hitters be options," Herrald said. "We don't have one dominant player to rely on. We're a team that can attack you with a lot of different options."

So in 1 month and 4 days I will return to America and play disc on a real course! Hot diggity I'm excited. Im starting to think that having a 10 month break in China might have actually been a good thing for my game; because, from this site I have realized that I drastically needed to reshape my bag. Last year I was throwing a putter, 2 mids and a bunch of super speed drivers. This approach worked well enough; I have a pretty good arm (about 400-450 RHBH and 300-350 FH) so on my long course I could bomb a drive with mediocre accuracy and hopefully get close enough to the pin with my mid to make pars. This worked well enough except that the 2 courses I frequent the most are both heavily wooded, and If my drive was a bit off, those approaches with the mids would be a whole lot more difficult. SO reading this site has made me realize I need to put some slower drivers in my bag and learn to throw them! So i picked up some discs Im hoping for some feedback from you frisbee scientists out there about whether there is anything you think I should add to this bag or if I have any overlap an am making sacrifices against minimalism. Discs in bold are new ones Ive ordered and will be replacing the plethora of speed 12 and 13 bombers I had last year.
Distance Drivers
2x 175 XG Boss: 1 beat and one new- basically I already have these and can throw them rather consistently so I see no point in buying anything different here.
1 168 pro katana- huge annies and monster rolls.
1 Max weight star Xcal or Champ ape: have the X, bought the ape and never tried, anyone love the ape?
1 170 Champ Wraith: Super straight FH: used to have on and LOVED it for this shot, it got eaten by the river troll...
Controllable/fairwayish drivers (1 of all b/c they are all new!)
170ish S-PD
Star Eagle
170ish Champ Teebird
Z-pred: when I write up possible bags, this is always included under the tag of "every bag needs this"
2x SG-MD1: 1 beat (i love this) and 1 new for OS mid shots
1 or 2 180 ESP Comet
2 Wizards- 1 for putting 1 for drives
Ion and premium Jokeri for driving, baseline Jokeri for putting. I cant find another wizard that I can drive like the one I have, my other 3 suck!
So any suggestions of anything to add or take away? I think I could use an understable driver, TD or a Flow? Or can the Wraith do this duty and I should just learn to throw that BH?
Thanks DGR's

Ukiah Daily Journal
A 72-year-old San Francisco man who went missing during a hunting trip in the Mendocino National Forest was found alive and well after surviving 18 days alone in the woods.
Gene Penaflor's family gathered Saturday afternoon at Ukiah Valley Medical Center after learning that a group of hunters had found him earlier that day and carried him out of the woods on a makeshift stretcher to safety.
"He's good," said his youngest son, Jeremy, with a smile. "He's just like he was when I saw him last, except his beard grew."
Since learning last month that Penaflor was missing, his family has been staying in Covelo, the nearest town to the area where Penaflor had been at a hunting camp. The four-day search for Penaflor swelled to include searchers, scent-tracking dogs and equipment from 15 neighboring agencies, according to Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman.
"There were no clues, we had thoroughly searched the area and there was a weather front coming in," said Mendocino County Sheriff's Office detective Andrew Porter of the reasons the search was called off. The weather advisory included snow flurries in the area, which sits at an elevation of 7,000 feet.
Jeremy said he'd seen his dad long enough to hug him Saturday afternoon. The medical staff at UVMC reported Penaflor's vital signs were good, according to Jeremy, but hadn't decided whether to release him yet.
Porter said Penaflor was "laughing and joking around" and described him as "very upbeat" despite the ordeal, which began Sept. 24 when Penaflor and a hunting partner set off at about 8:30 a.m. from a hunting camp a few miles north of Monkey Rock in the Mendocino National Forest.
They walked into the Yuki Wilderness down two separate ridges, he said -- a technique Penaflor's son Jeremy said his father and hunting partner use to hunt deer.
The two men had planned to hunt for a couple of hours, meet for lunch and resume the hunt on the west side of Road M1, according to Porter. They normally didn't venture from base more than a quarter-mile to half-mile, but for unknown reasons, Penaflor had walked two and a half miles from camp that day, he said.
The terrain in the area is so difficult to navigate that it's classified as "types one and two," according to Porter. He described it as "very steep, rocky and treacherous," and as being prone to runoffs.
Penaflor fell and lost consciousness. He woke to find fog surrounding him and a cut on his chin, and, afraid of infection, he opted to stay where he was near a water source for the night, according to Porter.
That night he built a fire and set up a makeshift shelter of leaves underneath and above him for warmth. He woke to more fog and zero visibility again the next morning, and on Wednesday afternoon, Penaflor saw a helicopter.
He put damp leaves on his fire to send a smoke signal, but the helicopter's crew didn't see him. Penaflor saw a helicopter the next day, and he tried again to flag it down with the same result, according to Porter.
"I asked him why he didn't just walk back up the hill, and he said he didn't have enough energy to hike back up," Porter said.
Mendocino County Search and Rescue responded Sept. 25 after an initial misunderstanding about whether Penaflor had gone missing in Lake County or Mendocino County, and the search was called off Sept. 28, according to Porter.
In the days that followed, Penaflor ate squirrels, lizards, a snake, berries and algae he knew to be safe. He saw deer but didn't shoot them because he lacked the energy to do so, according to Porter.
"He knew at some point he was going to die, but he figured he'd last as long as he could," Porter said.
And survive Penaflor did, conserving what food he could kill and cook, keeping his nighttime fire's embers hot under leaves during the day, conserving bullets and staying hydrated until he saw what he described as "an army of hunters" Saturday and flagged them down with smoke from his fire. They made a stretcher from tree branches and their coats, according to Porter, and carried him to safety.
"He told me he learned a lot about himself through this," Porter said.
Allman thanked the many agencies and the people in them who responded to Mendocino County to help in the search.
"It was hard on the family," Jeremy said. "I knew my dad would do what he needed to do to survive, even if it meant eating squirrels or the occasional bug."
"I had faith that my dad was still alive," Jeremy said. "With the knowledge that he had, and what he knew how to do, 14 days was nothing to him. I think after 14 days, I would have freaked out."

Has anyone ever tried only wearing a 3/2 in the winter? I dont want to buy a thicker.

Has anyone ever tried only wearing a 3/2 in the winter? I dont want to buy a thicker.
I wore a 3/2 Xcel Inifinity last winter. I was pretty cold, but if you throw a top on under it, you'll be fine.
I had an Xcel 3/2. With 5mm gloves, boots and a 3 hood, I was fine for 1-2 hours. Its chilly... really chilly.
Have any of you tried waearing 2 3/2s
543 Hyperflex is nice. I didnt even feel the cold water. Also get the claw gloves there better then the other ones, your warmer and they dont smell as bad.
I have worn my O'Neill Psycho II 3/2 through December depending on how cold the water is. I will tell you that my upper body will get very cold, but the unbearable part is in the shins, where you have 2mm on a part of your body that has little fat on it. You will def need a thicker 4/3mm+ suit come Jan, if not well sooner.
i have done it for the last few years, wore a 3/2 with a 3mm hood and 5mm gloves and booties but it is down right cold. even with a 2.5mm rash under it your going to be cold. Underarmor works but not as well as a real winter suit.
it really all depends on how cold you want to be
If the air is warm, and you don't take many spills you should be fine.

Also, the Big Lebowski Bynum Gif is just fantastic, well done internet.
Is it just me, or are there a higher number of knee injuries occuring this year? It seems like every G2 email I write, I mention a key player for an opposing team who is out with a knee injury....
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Agreed, but if the "Big Lebowski" doesn't stick as his nickname for the duration of his career, the internet needs to be fired.
It makes sense as long as they don't give him some crazy contract for a crazy long time.

Did Sixers make a mistake dealing for Bynum? Consensus among several GMs is...
No. The logic: they dealt an aging SF for a young C who still has the potential to be the best big man in the Eastern Conference. Every deal is risky, but that was a worthwhile gamble. Re-signing him, especially if he's out for the year, could be tricky, but it opens the door for what one GM called a "Steph Curry" discount. The interesting wrinkle is whether the Rockets, in their endless pursuit of pilfering players on the FA market, will put a max offer out there to force the Sixers' hand to spend big -- or bigger than they'd like -- or let him go. Remember when Tyson Chandler's career supposedly was over? That was a championship ring and another $60-plus million contract ago; and Bynum has far more skill than Chandler. As for getting hurt bowling, GMs don't see a problem with that; he was truthful about how he got hurt, he wasn't doing anything nefarious and it's reasonable to believe Bynum didn't think he was risking injury by bowling.
Sadly, I think even if he doesn't play at all this year he'll get a max deal. I never thought Hibbert would get what he did but it happened. Won't Portland still have the cap space to make a max offer next summer? If not Houston or someone will make the offer.
well, as of now- bynum is out indefinitely. he may still get a max deal but i wouldn't pay it.
talent is there but, the head and body are extremely suspect.
Pacers fans have seen this before with JO. If anyone pays him a max contract, they will regret it.
On the bright side, now he can park in a handicap space with no fear of internet reprisal.
I was going to post that but didn't know if anyone outside of LA would get it.

Pedal to the Metal - Red Bull Racing in the Fast Lane with AT&T
AT&T advanced networking solution provides leading Formula One team with enhanced connectivity around the world
Singapore, Thailand, September 20, 2012
On the eve of the Singapore Grand Prix Red Bull Racing has revealed that the team is already seeing the benefits of using AT&T's* high speed global network following their agreement appointing AT&T as an official technical supplier earlier this year.
In a sport where hundredths of a second matter, Red Bull Racing is making full use of the increased bandwidth AT&T is providing via its global managed network around the world to speed up the ability to share data between the pit lane and the team factory in Milton Keynes in the UK, enhancing collaboration. The team is seeing improved data transfer times and increased flexibility to process and manage data during race weekends, benefits that are contributing directly to the team's performance on track.
Talking about the enhanced connectivity provided by AT&T, Christian Horner, Team Principal Red Bull Racing said:
"With the enforcement of garage curfews from 2011, there is now an even greater pressure to analyse performance data and provide answers back to the track within the time limits imposed by the regulations.
"Increased network performance and stability ensures greater volumes of data can be gathered from the car and transferred back to the factory for analysis. In some cases we can make use of specialist knowledge, for instance, by consulting the designer of the parts under test. It offers greater opportunity to perform more detailed analysis and part-to-part comparisons which ultimately results in a more optimum car setup and configuration during the race."
Red Bull Racing has been an AT&T customer over a year and in May 2012 the telecoms provider was appointed as an official technical supplier to the team. Under the agreement AT&T is providing Red Bull Racing with advanced network services focused on a high speed bandwidth link between the Red Bull Racing team track-side at grand prix and Formula One testing venues around the world with the racing team's headquarters back in the UK.
Such connectivity is a key tool for the team as they strive to optimize the team's performance in the high pressure environment of grand prix racing and the team is already making full use of AT&T technology in a number of areas.
Matt Cadieux, CIO of Red Bull Racing, highlighted other ways the team is using the improved connectivity from AT&T.
"During a race, aerodynamics analysis is primarily focused on the aerodynamic health of the car, including identifying aero parts which may have become damaged. The increased ability to transfer live telemetry from the car to the factory during a race means more detailed measurements can be taken and corrective measures implemented far more quickly.
"Historical events have shown that, the time taken to collate and send supporting video footage from the factory to the track, in order to discuss a particular racing matter with the stewards, has directly resulted in a loss of championship points. As an example, in Valencia, 2009, Mark Webber was overtaken by Jenson Button, in what was later determined to be an illegal manoeuvre and was then held up as the lead pack pulled away. It took 4-5 laps to send the video evidence, which resulted in the position being given back to Mark, but by which time, it was too late for Mark to catch the lead pack. Had it been 2012, this footage would have been sent within one lap, less than 60 seconds."

It's been a while since we have had a made-for-TV court case on the scale of Michael Jackson, O.J., Robert Blake or Scott Peterson – thankfully.
For a while, those cases made you wish for the distant past, when justice was swift – or at least a little less theatrical.
Well, upon further review, it seems even those court cases had their own splashes of showmanship amid the tedium.
Consider the arson trial of C.J. Elsasser, whose tea and coffee supply shop at Gordon and Second streets in Pomona burned to the ground on April 28, 1911.
Local prosecutors felt Elsasser put oil-soaked newspapers below floorboards near a candle that slowly burned down and then set his place afire. Elsasser's alibi was that he was in Los Angeles when the fire broke out.
Here are a few items from local papers about the nearly monthlong preliminary hearing that dragged on in a hot Pomona courtroom:
July 6: On the first day, constable Frank Slanker testified he found half-eaten plates of beans and a coffee pot amid the ashes "to give the impression of hobos having broken in," but he wasn't fooled. Remains of coffee were found at the bottom of two cups but it was a deception as Slanker said he could tell no one had actually drunk from the cups, wrote the Pomona Daily Review.
July 8: The Pomona Times reported that those in the crowded courtroom seemed unified in their belief that the defendant had thus far deflected the charges. His attorney Kemper B. Campbell "proved to be more brilliant than ever before."
July 10: The Daily Review detailed how witness Lawrence Gubser said he gave the alarm when he saw the store on fire. He also claimed to have chased a man with tattered clothes from behind the burning store but was absolutely sure the man was not the city's night police patrolman. Then the courtroom erupted in laughter when Gubser admitted he did not know what the officer looked like.
July 11: The morning Times called the tactics of Deputy District Attorney W.T. Helms "reprehensible" after he attacked the character of a young woman, a defense witness. His badgering of the woman "brought a flush of indignation to the faces of all the fathers and brothers present, who resented such reprehensible tactics." Campbell rebuked Helms by reading aloud the Code of Ethics of the Bar Association.
In its afternoon edition, the Daily Review joyfully quoted Helms that morning denouncing the rival Times for "its efforts to prejudice the public" while fellow prosecutor J.W. Joos "spoke his disgust that a public print should be so unfair." Judge Erastus Barnes said he "never allowed any newspaper to warp his opinion in a case."
July 13: The bored Review writer evoked the words of poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson: "The Elsasser case like Tennyson's babbling brook, goes on and on, and on. This was the sixth day of it, and for dullness it easily won the prize. The empty chairs in the court room bespoke plainer than words that Pomona people are beginning to lose interest in the case."
July 14: In its afternoon edition, the Review said the morning sessions saw attorneys "injecting just enough ginger into the proceedings to keep the hearers in good humor."
July 19: "Very dull," moaned the Review.
July 21: The attorneys "hurled choice epithets at each other," wrote the Review. "The words lie and liar were as abundant as beer at a German picnic." The judge "had to call the high-minded gentlemen of the legal fraternity to the fact that this was not a … riot but a court of justice."
July 25: "The only interesting moment in today's proceeds were the battles of wits between counsel, but even these tiffs gradually assumed staleness (like the testimony)," yawned the Review.
Aug. 1: Final arguments mercifully were given by the warring attorneys. It was highlighted by Campbell denouncing Helm "as a liar, a coward and cheat, in nine different sorts of English diction," said the Review. Unaffected, Barnes bound over Elsasser for trial in Los Angeles.
Oct. 7: Los Angeles County District Attorney J.D. Fredericks – probably unwilling to endure a repeat of July's theater of the absurd – announced his office didn't think it could get a conviction and dropped the case. "While there is an assumption of guilt, there is nevertheless reasonable doubt, and (we believe) a jury would give the defendant the benefit of this doubt," Fredericks was quoted in the Review.
