FOLSOM - The prolific passing game of Folsom High School's football team was on display Saturday night, and visiting Vacaville couldn't do much about it.
Jake Browning completed 27 of 42 passes for 368 yards and five touchdown passes as Folsom put a tough end to Vacaville's season with a 49-13 victory in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs.
The host Bulldogs scored on all five of their drives in the first half and scored the first 28 points of the game.
"That's about as perfect as a high school team can get," Vacaville head coach Mike Papadopoulos said. "Playing against a program like that will only make us better."
Folsom improved to 12-0 and will host Buhach Colony of Atwater in a semifinal game next week. Vacaville closed out its season at 8-4, one year after winning the section title against Folsom.
Browning had touchdown passes of 19 and 13 yards to Troy Knox, a 17-yarder to Josiah Deguara, and 35- and 20-yarders to Trace Nobles. Bailey Laolagi added a 1-yard touchdown run for Folsom, and Harry Lipnosky scored another with a 1-yard run.
"That's a complete passing scheme," Vacaville's Curtis Goins said. "They were hard to stop. We tried some things and they didn't work. It's very disappointing. Nobody likes to lose."
Vacaville scored for the first time with 4:38 left in the second quarter. David Mewborn capped a 13-play, 70-yard drive with a 9-yard touchdown run.
Vacaville nearly had a long touchdown just before half. Quarterback Nick Ardave completed a pass to Tyler Cummins, who pitched it to Goins on a "hook-and-lateral" play that Goins took down to the 1-yard line as time expired.
Vacaville scored its other touchdown in the third quarter when Goins raced eight yards for a touchdown with 8:27 left in the period.
Goins and four other runners combined for 183 yards on the ground, well below the team's season average. Ardave was 7-for-14 passing for 65 yards.
Folsom ran effectively for 155 yards to offset its passing attack.
Vacaville didn't have too many opportunities to make big defensive plays. Jacob Te'o and Kenyon Clay combined on a sack for a loss of 12 yards. Te'o also had a fumble recovery that thwarted another Folsom touchdown opportunity.
"It took a little while for us to work things out and get started," Papadopoulos said. "It was hard to get too much momentum going. But the kids played hard the whole game and I'm proud of them."

SANTA CRUZ -- A Santa Cruz County judge released an 88-year-old Santa Cruz man accused of child molestation Thursday after there were no available courtrooms.
Eric Frank Greene was set for a preliminary hearing to determine if there was enough evidence to hold him to answer for one felony count of lewd acts with a child. Greene opted not to waive time on his case, meaning his case has to be heard within a set amount of days.
But because there were no courtrooms available, Judge Paul Burdick released Greene from jail.
"He was in a no-time waiver so we had to put the preliminary hearing on," said prosecutor Rafael Vazquez. "He told his attorney that he would waive time and if he got released."
Greene still faces the child molestation charge.
Burdick used a variety of factors when considering whether to release Greene, said Aimee Buentello, Greene's attorney,
"Clearly judges only release people that aren't likely to flee, likely to re-offend or aren't dangerous to society," Buentello said. "Those are really the criteria judges use to release people."
Greene was arrested Jan. 22 on suspicion of child molestation.
On Thursday morning, Greene's hearing began in Judge Burdick's courtroom but was moved to Judge Paul Marigonda's court because Burdick was tied up with a murder re-trial. Marigonda recused himself from the case because he knew the victim's family. While the hearing might have been heard in Judge Rebecca Connolly's court, Greene's attorney would have challenged it to have it removed from her courtroom, Vazquez said.
The case ultimately landed in Burdick's court. Burdick, who has a murder case, ruled Greene be released in part because there were no judges available to hear the case.
But if Greene posed a real danger to the community, the judge would have found a place for his hearing, Buentello said.
"He's an 88-year-old man with zero criminal history," she said. "I think he'll definitely come back to court and face the charges and we'll proceed that way."
Although Vazquez said he was disappointed with the ruling, he understood the limited resources.
"I know the judge was limited," he said. "I know the reality is we just have a handful of courtroom for a ton of cases."
While Greene is out of jail, Burdick placed a number of restrictions on him, including not contacting the victim in the case, not having any contact with anyone younger than the age of 18 and not leaving the house except to go to the bank, grocery store or back to court.
Greene's preliminary hearing was moved to March 3.

I just heard that it has been at that temple some 200 years or more BCE, so assumed it might be real.
That is a real picture of the relic? If so, then I probably agree with you. I'm not a big 'fan' of the 32 marks of a 'great man' either, so don't think that gives any more credence to the relic. The 32 marks is a pre-Buddhist Brahmanism concept.

Cisco Emergency Responder (Cisco ER) is an emergency communication system that helps you respond to a crisis quickly and efficiently. When someone in your telephone network places an emergency call, Cisco ER automatically notifies you and routes the call to the local public safety answering point (PSAP) operator. Using the extension that Cisco ER provides, you can look up the location of the caller through the Cisco ER User web interface. Once you know the location of the caller, you can go to the site of the emergency, send help, or otherwise complete your company's emergency response policy requirements.
Cisco ER also maintains a record of emergency calls your system receives so that you can access this information later.
These topics describe how to use the Cisco ER:
•Accessing the Cisco Emergency Responder User Web Interface
•Understanding What Happens When Someone Places an Emergency Call
•Acknowledging an Emergency Call
•Obtaining More Information About an Emergency Call
•Viewing a History of Emergency Calls
•Understanding What Happens When Someone Places an Emergency Call
You must log in to Cisco ER to view web alerts and obtain more information about an emergency call.
To log in to the Cisco ER User web interface, follow these steps:
Step 1 In your browser's location field, enter the URL provided by your administrator.
The main Cisco ER web interface appears.
Step 2 Choose Cisco ER User from the Navigation pulldown menu and click Go.
The Cisco Emergency Responder User Login page appears.
Step 3 Enter your username and password and click Login. If you have trouble logging in, ask your administrator for your username and password.
The Emergency Call Alert page appears.
To exit the Cisco ER User web interface from any page, choose the Logout link at the top of the screen.
Tip For help about how to use a feature on any Cisco ER User web pages, choose Help > Help for this Screen.
This section provides a brief overview of what happens when someone places an emergency call:
•Someone places an emergency call
•Cisco ER receives the call and forwards it to the public safety answering point (PSAP) for your area.
•At the same time, Cisco ER calls you on your telephone, alerts you that an emergency call was placed, and provides you with the extension of the caller. Depending on how your administrator sets up your system, you might also receive an e-mail message or an e-mail page containing the caller's extension, the Emergency Response Location (ERL) name, and the time of the emergency call.
•Information about the emergency call also appears on the Emergency Call Alert page. This information includes the time and date of the emergency call, the extension of the caller, the ERL name, and the phone location. Additional details about the caller's location, such as the complete physical address for the ERL and the port name, are displayed when you click on a call record. (The port name can be configured on the switch for a particular port.)
Note Cisco ER displays the port name only for automatically tracked phones.
•When you determine the location of the caller, you can respond to the call according to your company's emergency response policy.
•As soon as the caller places the emergency call, Cisco ER refreshes the Emergency Call Alert page. If Cisco ER cannot perform the real-time update for some reason (for example, because you are temporarily not connected to the server), the Emergency Call Alert page will be refreshed in 30 seconds.
Note Cisco ER only provides you with the extension of the caller; you cannot listen to the actual emergency call.
To acknowledge an emergency call means that:
•You are taking responsibility to act according to your company's emergency response policy on behalf of that call.
•You understand that your policy might require you to go to the physical location of the caller, or it might require that you monitor the emergency situation by telephone.
•You understand that when you acknowledge a call, Cisco ER keeps an acknowledged call for 24 hours in the system. After 24 hours, Cisco ER removes that call from the Emergency Call Alert page list and that the entry disappears from your Emergency Call Alert page and the Emergency Call Alert page of every onsite alert person in your system.
Note Unacknowledged calls are indicated by a red color link. Acknowledged calls are indicated by a black color link.
Note All security personnel (onsite alert personnel) who have access to the Cisco ER User web interface see the same emergency calls on the Emergency Call Alert page. When you acknowledge a call, Cisco ER removes the call from the list.
Even though the call record is removed from the list on the Emergency Call Alert page, Cisco ER saves the information about the call. You can see information about an emergency call after it is acknowledged by viewing the call history. (For information about how to view the call history, see the "Viewing a History of Emergency Calls" section.) You can also see detailed information about that caller's location by looking up the phone extension. (For information on viewing details about a caller's location, see the "Obtaining More Information About an Emergency Call" section.)
Before You Begin
This procedure assumes that you are logged in to Cisco ER and that the Emergency Call Alert page is displayed.
For instructions on logging in to Cisco ER, see the "Accessing the Cisco Emergency Responder User Web Interface" section.
To display the Emergency Call Alert page from any page on the Cisco ER User website, choose Web Alert.
To acknowledge an emergency call and remove the emergency call from the list, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the Emergency Call Alert page, click ACKNOWLEDGE for the emergency call you want to acknowledge.
A message appears and prompts you to confirm your acknowledgement.
Step 2 Click OK.
Cisco ER refreshes the Emergency Call Alert page and the Emergency Call Alert page of every onsite alert person in your system, removing the call you just acknowledged.
To respond to an emergency call, you might need more information than is displayed on the Emergency Call Alert page, or you might need to provide these details to law enforcement or other emergency personnel later (see the "Viewing a History of Emergency Calls" section).
You can immediately see details about an emergency call by clicking on that call record on the Emergency Call Alert page.
Which details are shown, such as the street address and the 3-digit area code, depends on how your system administrator has configured your system. These details are the same details that the PSAP operator sees.
While these details might not describe the exact physical location of the caller, they should describe the area from which the emergency call came. If you find that these details are not helpful in locating the emergency caller, talk to your system administrator.
Table 1-1 describes the fields you see when you click on a call record from the Emergency Call Alert page.
ERL Name
Zone name that your system administrator has set for that call's location.
House Number
Number from the postal street address for the building (for example, the "170" in 170 West Tasman Dr.).
House Number Suffix
Number extension (such as /2) for the house number, if any.
Street Name
Street name from the postal address for the building.
Street Suffix
Type of street, such as AV for Avenue.
Prefix Directional
Leading directional indicator if the street name contains one, for example, N for North.
Post Directional
Trailing directional indicator if the street name contains one, for example, N for North.
Community Name
Community name for the address, for example, a city, town, or district name.
2-digit state abbreviation.
Main NPA
3-digit area code of the main number associated with the calling number.
Customer Name
Subscriber name associated with the ERL, typically, your company's name.
Class of Service
Class of service for the ERL.
Type of Service
Type of service for the ERL.
Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) exchange identifier for the serving telephone office for the phone.
Main Telephone No.
Main phone number associated with the ERL, such as the number of the security office for the ERL.
Order Number
Service order number of the activity of establishing or updating this record.
Extract Date
Date on which the record was created.
County ID
County identification code for the zone (in the USA, the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code assigned to the county by the U.S. Census Bureau).
Company ID
Your National Emergency Number Association (NENA)-registered company identification code.
Zip Code
Postal zip code for the address.
Zip Code Extension
Postal zip code "plus four" number.
Customer Code
Your customer code, which can be provided by your service provider if you do not know your code.
Optional comments, which might be displayed at the PSAP if an emergency call is placed from this ERL.
Longitude of the ERL.
Latitude of the ERL.
Elevation of the ERL.
TAR Code
Taxing area rate code.
Additional location information, in free form, to help identify the exact location of the phone.
For example, this information might repeat the street address that is defined in several separate fields elsewhere on this page.
If you need to see location details about a call after it is no longer visible on the Emergency Call Alert page, use the phone search to look up the extension. If you do not know the caller's extension number, you can find it on the Call History page. For information about how to view a call history, see the "Viewing a History of Emergency Calls" section.
To perform a phone search, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Phone Search from the main menu.
The Locate Phone by Extension page appears.
Step 2 In the Phone Extension field, enter the extension of the caller about whom you want more information and click Find.
Detailed information about the caller appears at the bottom of the screen.
Table 1-1 describes the fields you see when you look up a phone extension.
To return to the Emergency Call Alert page, choose Web Alert from the main menu.
Tip•If an emergency call is placed immediately after the Cisco ER server is started, the caller's location details might not be available right away. Results of a phone search using this caller's extension will say "No matching phone for the given extension."
•A caller might place an emergency call from one Emergency Response Location (ERL) and then immediately move to a different ERL. If Cisco ER registers this move before you use the phone search feature, the phone search screen will display the location details of the caller's second ERL.
•If you try to view location details for a phone that shares an extension, the phone search screen displays details for all phones for that extension. To refine your search, click Select a phone to view details. Choose the phone whose details you want to view based on the Last Time of Emergency Call field.
Cisco ER maintains history records for the 10,000 most recent emergency calls.
In some cases, you might need to provide recent call history information to law enforcement agencies or to other emergency personnel; this information might also be used for reporting purposes. For example, your company might need to determine whether it has enough security personnel (onsite alert personnel) to handle the average volume of emergency calls it receives over a given period of time.
By maintaining a history of emergency calls, you can view details about how many emergency calls were placed on a given date, from a given caller, or that contain a specific keyword that describes the call. You can also enter or view additional information about an emergency call, such as the nature of the emergency or what was done, by accessing the Comments field of a call record.
To view call history, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Call History from the main menu.
The Call History page appears.
Step 2 Use the drop-down lists and text field to enter specific call-search conditions. Click More to add conditions, or click Fewer to remove the last condition added.
Note If you specify more than one condition, make sure to select whether you want all or any of the conditions to be satisfied. For example, if you want to view all medical emergency calls that came from your company's office in San Jose on July 6, your conditions might look like this:
Find Details of calls where all of the conditions are satisfied and where Date is 07/06/2003 and where ERL Name is Exactly SanJose Building and Comments contains medical.
Step 3 Click Find.
Information appears about those calls that meet the specified search conditions.
If there is more information than can fit on one screen, Cisco ER uses more than one page to list the calls.
To see more information, click the links or enter a specific page number in the Page field and click the Page link.
Step 4 To enter or modify comments about an emergency call, click the edit link in the Comments field for that call record. The Call Details page appears.
Comments appear in the Comments about the call field of the Call Details screen:
•If the comment is longer than the field, use the right and left arrow keys on your computer keyboard to scroll though the comment.
•To add or modify a comment, enter the information and click Update.
•To return a comment to its last saved value, click Reset.
Step 5 Click Close to close the Call Details page.
Table 1-2 describes the fields you see when you view a history of emergency calls.
ERL Name
Zone name that your system administrator has set for that call's location.
Caller's Extension
Extension from which the emergency call was placed.
Time that the emergency call was placed.
Date that the emergency call was placed.
ELIN Used
Callback number your PSAP operator uses to contact an emergency caller if the emergency call gets disconnected.
The location of the phone based on whether the phone was configured manually, or whether it was configured based on the switch port or IP subnet.
Call Acknowledged
The acknowledged status of a call on the Web Alert page.
Acknowledged By
The ID of the user who acknowledged the call.
Time Acknowledged
The time that the call was acknowledged.
Date Acknowledged
The date that the call was acknowledged.
Field that contains an edit link that allows you to enter comments about the call. See Step 4 for details on entering comments.
Tip Cisco ER maintains history records for the 10,000 most recent emergency calls. If you need to obtain call details for earlier emergency calls, ask your system administrator to provide this information. Your system administrator may have saved these records.

Bottom Line: Skipped the first iPad? The sequel's speedy processor and dual cameras might pull you across the checkout line. But buyer beware: There's always a better version around the corner, and we wouldn't be surprised if an iPad with 4G data and a higher-res screen drops soon.
Cost: $600–$800
Operating System: Android 3.0
Processor/RAM: 1-GHz dual-core Tegra 2/1 GB

Cassius Vaughn...giving up big play after big play.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
Oh my God.That's really frustrating.Wake Up D.
Jay Cutler has a passer rating of 7 after the first quarter.
We have our worries already about the OL.If we are gonna do the same about the D and especially the secondary,then we'd better not bother.
There will be no double bird salute for this FG
When was the last time we returned a kick?Bills game at Indianapolis where we scored the TD?
Luck not looking very good today.
I seriously hate our o-line. What a bunch of scrubs.
The energy is really low in Lucas Oil today. The D needs to make a play. For example, forcing the Titans to actually punt would be novel.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
I was afraid of a letdown, only down 3 though. Be nice if the defense could change this game and get some takeaways but I know thats too much to ask from this D.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
We suck tonight at our first and second down conversions.
Come on, refs. Take off your Titans blinders, that's grounding.
Thank you.
need a score on this drive!
Jerry Hughes showing off his temper again with another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
I knew Luck was going to go right back to Wayne after that blunder.
Calling that a rookie mistake would be an insult to rookies.
and the letdown continues.............
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
Well...that was terrible.
What is wrong with Luck today? A case of rookieitis?
he might be down, yes!
His knee wasn't down. It was a pick-six.
Today might not be the Colts day that being said they're only down three right now.

TOM Heaton says the pressure is rising in the race for automatic promotion, but with Burnley in the driving seat he insists it is "pressure with a smile".
The goalkeeper faced an altogether different challenge this time last year, with old club Bristol City ultimately unsuccessful in their fight against relegation.
The 27-year-old is battling at the right end of the table now.
"Being down at the bottom last year, it's almost a strain," Heaton said.
"You go into every game on a knife-edge, whereas here – I won't say there's no pressure but it's a nice team to play in and a great place to be at at the minute," said Heaton.
"Last season was tough at times. We started out the season with the hope that it was going to be one like we've had this year at Burnley and it wasn't to be that way.
"But it's been about getting strength of character from that and building a bit of toughness from it, and I've enjoyed this year.
"No matter what level of football you're playing at, whether you're playing on the park with your mates or in Champions League finals there's always a certain amount of pressure because you want to perform, you want to play well, so you can never really get away from that fact. But it's pressure with a smile, you can enjoy it rather than fear it. I think you've got a good mix there and that's what the manager preaches.
"If you can enjoy the challenge of it you're probably going to do better than if you don't."
He credits Sean Dyche with keeping the Clarets in that frame of mind.
"It probably comes from the manager really because everything's simple. He simplifies it and makes it easy to just focus on the simple things. If you do that you're going to give yourselves a great opportunity," he said.
"That's the message he spreads and it's great as a player to have a few simplified things to keep your focus on, it makes it pretty straight forward."
And although Burnley head to Watford this afternoon without key players Sam Vokes, Dean Marney, Danny Ings and, in all likelihood, Kieran Trippier, Heaton insists they will not sweat over their cushion.
"I'd be trying to avoid any panic even if we were one point behind. I think it's important we keep that plateau of emotions in check and making sure it stays on a level playing field and just focus on what the job is, to go and get results in football matches and take one at a time," he said.
"If you can focus your mind on that and not get distracted with the things going on I think you've got a better chance of performing and better chance of picking up results from there.
"From my experience last year I know which end of the table I'd rather be at. It's a great position we're in. It's just important we focus on what's right in front of us and that starts with today.
"We'll be looking to go to that game, get three points and then move onto the next one."
And Heaton admitted that Vokes' untimely season-ending injury had provided an additional incentive for Burnley to get over the line and make promotion to the Premier League reward for the striker's 21-goal campaign.
"That's an added bit of motivation to make sure we do it for him," said the stopper.
"I said to him after the game last weekend he's been unplayable this year.
"It's a tough one for him to deal with now with a long spell out but he can take heart from how he's been this year and getting back to that."

Detailed Description:
The present study correlates intestinal parasitism and levels of eosonophils and of serum IgEs in patients attended at the C.H. of the School of Medicine - Botucatu/UNESP. Thirty adult patients with AIDS were analyzed in the use of HAART, aged 42 ±11 years, 14 (46.7%) male, excluding those that had used anthelminthics 30 days prior to collection. Socioeconomic questionaires were applied and 3 samples of feces were taken for parasitological exams (TF-test® method) and 5 ml of blood for counting eosinophils (automated hematological counter, Pentra 80, ABX) and IgE doses (equipment BN-100, Dade-Behring). The index of parasites was 10%, with E.nana (3.3%), E.coli (3.3%) and B.hominis (3.3%). Parasitized individuals were from an urban region with complete basic sanitation and good socioeconomic level. Normal eosinphil values were found in all samples and increased IgE values in 1 (33.3%) sample. The index of parasites was low due to good socioeconomic level and disease control. Augmented IgE levels corroborate the literature, which reports an increase characteristic of immune response in the face of parasitic infections in individuals with HIV or AIDS. In conclusion, new studies should be undertaken to evaluate the level of eosinophils associated with cytokines to obtain a better understanding of this correlation.

Hello guys,
My questions are with regard to something Feldy talks about in this video, from about 15:00-16:30:
I have always thought that the arm and leg matching up was something exclusive to the Swedish throwing style, but Feldy talks about it being a "bio-mechanically correct" part of the throwing process. To be honest, I don't really see the "matching" in Garrett's throws or many other American pros. Maybe it just isn't as severe. Anyways, I've never made a conscious effort to match left side and right side like this; is it an essential part of the throw?

CHP: Rough and Ready man killed after high-speed chase on I-80
May 16, 2013
TRUCKEE — A 55-year-old Rough and Ready man involved in a high-speed chase with California Highway Patrol on Interstate 80 Monday afternoon was killed after his vehicle collided with a dirt embankment and rolled several times.
The California Highway Patrol originally identified the suspect as a 42-year-old Reno man based on documentation left in the car from its previous owner; officials on Tuesday morning released the correct name, age and residence of the man after a coroner examination.
William Orr was reported at about 1:30 p.m. Monday as driving recklessly in a 1989 BMW 3 Series convertible, at high speeds, and using the shoulders on I-80 eastbound at Dutch Flat as passing lanes.
Orr failed to stop when officers tried to pull him over, instead accelerating to speeds exceeding 100 mph. A pursuit continued eastbound into the Truckee CHP area and eventually over Donner Summit, with the BMW abruptly exiting at Donner Pass Road, driving over the overcrossing and entering I-80 westbound.
As Orr approached Soda Springs in excess of 100 mph, he entered a coned-off lane closure where a California Conservation Corps crew was working. He lost control of the BMW before colliding with a dirt embankment and overturning several times. As the car overturned, it struck two CCC workers as they attempted to get out of the way.
Fresno resident Linda Heuangpaseud, 23, suffered a head injury and was airlifted to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno by CareFlight, while Fresno resident Jose Gabriel Garcia, 19, complained of shoulder pain.

Heuangpaseud was listed as discharged, said Stacy Kendall, Renown spokesperson.
Orr, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene. CHP is investigating the incident.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story falsely listed the deceased residence due to inaccurate information provided to The Union news service. William Orr was a Rough and Ready resident.

McCarthy remembered in Port exhibition win
It was only an exhibition match but Port Adelaide's Brad Ebert could not stop his raw emotions from surfacing in south London.
Understandably so, following a difficult couple of months since the death of his best mate John McCarthy on an end-of-season trip to Las Vegas.
After kicking the winning goal against the Western Bulldogs in Port's 14.4 (88) to 13.9 (87) win from 50m out on the boundary line with 40 seconds remaining, Ebert kissed the black tape on his arm and looked to the skies to salute his former teammate.
"There are a lot of emotions going through the last few months and obviously Dani, John's girlfriend was here tonight and over the last year we have got on really well," Ebert said.
"He was my best mate and so it was great to be able to kick that goal and even though it was only an exhibition match, it was really nice to be able to do that.
"I had to give it a bit, just give him a salute."
The passing of McCarthy, who also played for Collingwood, had pained ex-West Coast player Ebert after the pair formed a strong bond since arriving at Alberton Oval from different clubs 12 months ago.
"We will always have J-Mac's memory with us," he said.
"We will be able to move on and while it still will hurt for a long time, we will be able to use that on the footy field."
Ebert believed the pre-season trip to Europe, that included a stop in Milan, had been vital for the players making a fresh start following a horrible 2012.
"Just get to know the young blokes and a few of the coaches and start building," he said.
"For me personally, I got a few good weeks before the camps to be able to come away with my girlfriend and catch up with a few mates over here and get away from everything that was happening in town."
Ebert said players and their partners had persuaded McCarthy's girlfriend Dani Smarrelli, who had to be comforted post-match at The Oval, to make the trip to the UK.
"She was initially going to come over with John and after everything that happened she was going to cancel it but the flights were already booked," Ebert said.
"We just sort of said 'why don't you come across'.
"It was nice for her to get away as well otherwise she would have just been stuck in Melbourne ... and not been able to get over here and get around the girls and try to have a bit of fun. I think it has been good for her."
With both teams far from full strength, the Bulldogs opened up a six-goal lead in the third quarter before the Power responded with nine unanswered majors in front of a crowd of nearly 10,000 on a cold, clear night.
The Bulldogs reclaimed the lead before Ebert sealed the win with a beautiful kick from a tight angle.

Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014 | 2 a.m.
The following editorial appeared in the Kansas City Star:
View more of the Sun's opinion section
For 16 months, the American people have been subjected to a chorus of scorn, squealed by the likes of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican. It went something like this: "Benghazi. Benghazi. Benghazi."
Translation: The Obama administration screwed up, and we're warning you, Hillary Clinton, we'll sing this tune all through your inevitable presidential campaign.
Clinton, of course, was President Barack Obama's secretary of state Sept. 11, 2012, when chaos beset the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya — her bailiwick — and a series of nighttime attacks led to the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The loudest members of the GOP chorus wanted us to believe that the attacks were planned by al-Qaida terrorists and that Obama, who had trumpeted the decimation of al-Qaida, was covering up a horrendous intelligence failure with a flimsy story about an American-made anti-Islam video that was causing upset in the Middle East.
Thanks to David Kirkpatrick of The New York Times, who spent many months reporting in Libya, we are now reasonably informed about what really happened on that tragic night. His investigation "turned up no evidence that al-Qaida or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault." And furthermore, the attacks were "fueled in large part by anger" over that video.
Yes, it's much murkier than that, and indeed there was an intelligence failure, relating to how much the CIA knew about the extent of anti-American hostility among Benghazi militants.
Another sad part of the story: GOP critics don't believe it, and the opposition chorus continues.

The comedy series from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring Warwick Davis returns to wrap up the story of a fictionalized version of the actor, a little person trying to hustle his way back into the spotlight. After a long cold spell, things are looking up for the self-aggrandizing Davis, who once appeared in some of Hollywood's biggest hits (the "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" films). He's living with his new girlfriend, Amy, and is elated to learn from fellow "Willow" star Val Kilmer that a sequel to that 1988 fantasy may be in the works - if Davis can help raise funds to finance the film.
In addition to Davis, Gervais and Merchant reprise their roles, and other returning actors include Jo Enright as Davis' ex-wife, Sue; Rosamund Hanson as his dim-witted assistant, Cheryl; Steve Brody as his incompetent accountant; Colin Hoult as his spiritual counselor, Bryan Medici; Kiruna Stamell as Amy; and "EastEnders" actor Shaun Williamson as himself.
The special will air on HBO on Friday, July 5.

IF WE NEEDED a reminder of how important water is to this county, we got one when 14 people applied for an open seat on the Marin Municipal Water District board.
MMWD serves Central and Southern Marin, two-thirds of the county.
Twenty years ago, during a drought, the board was one of the most powerful in the county. Development essentially ground to a halt when the district stopped issuing permits for water hookups.
That isn't the case today, but the future of Marin's water supply is one of the most important issues facing the county. MMWD relies heavily on capturing rainfall in its network of seven reservoirs for most of its water. The district gets about 25 percent of its water from the Russian River.
A guaranteed source of water is so important that MMWD seriously considered building a desalination plant that would have cost at least $100 million. Those plans have been put on hold, for a variety of reasons, including costs, need and environmental issues.
MMWD also owns a big chunk of the watershed on Mount Tam, which makes it an important land manager and recreational resource provider. The board is wrestling with how to fight the growth of French broom on MMWD lands, an invasive species that poses serious fire dangers. This being Marin, the prospect of using herbicides in even limited applications is very controversial.
The district also faces serious budget issues because its customers keep using less water — conservation is good, of course — but costs keep rising. That's a difficult business model that poses major challenges.
The board also has been a steppingstone for those with greater political aspirations, which no doubt has occurred to some applicants. Jared Huffman, who was just elected to Congress, and Joe Nation, who also served in the Assembly, both jumped from the MMWD board to the state Legislature.
The four members of the board face a difficult decision in picking a replacement for David Behar, who resigned when he moved from San Anselmo to Corte Madera, which is not in the boundaries of Division 3, which he has represented since 2006.
The 14 applicants include well-known names:
Kiki La Porta is president of Sustainable Marin, Jacquie Phelan is a prominent mountain biker, Ryan O'Neil serves on the Fairfax City Council, Barry Spitz is an author and Dipsea Race historian, Peter Lacques ran for the board in 2010, Liza Crosse is an aide to Supervisor Steve Kinsey, Basia Crane is an anti-tax crusader and Alex Easton-Brown was an Assembly candidate in June.
Board President Cynthia Koehler says an appointment will be made by Jan. 9. The new member will fill out the term that ends December 2014.
Fourteen is an unwieldy number of applicants, but we urge the board to come up with an open interviewing process that allows the public to get a sense of who the applicants are and where they stand on the crucial issues facing the water district.
That will take time, but the public deserves no less.
Marin Municipal Water District's Division 3 encompasses the San Geronimo Valley, Canon Village, Village West, Fairfax, Hawthorne Hills, San Anselmo, Ross, portions of Larkspur, Greenbrae and Kentfield north of Corte Madera Creek, and watershed land north of Fairfax-Bolinas Road.

ASCO Annual Meeting
May 15, 2013
Most diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) that recur (come back after treatment) are found based on symptoms reported by patients, abnormal blood test results, or abnormal findings on a physical examination, rather than by a computed tomography (CT) scan, according to a recent study. DLBCL is the most common form of lymphoma and is typically curable. However, up to a third of patients will have the disease recur. A CT scan is a way to create pictures of the inside of the body and is currently recommended as a regular part of follow-up care for patients with DLBCL to watch for a recurrence.
This study included 644 patients with DLBCL who received the standard initial treatment for the disease and had a remission (no signs of the disease). Researchers then looked at how many of these patients had a recurrence, needed additional treatment, or died from DLBCL after the initial treatment. They found that after about five years, 20% (109 patients) experienced a recurrence. When these recurrences were found, 68% of patients had symptoms of a recurrence, 42% had an abnormal finding on physical exam, and 55% had abnormal blood test results. A recurrence was detected only by a planned CT scan for only 8 patients.
What this means for patients
"Scans expose patients to radiation and that may increase the risk of a second cancer. Surveillance scans have also been shown to increase a patient's anxiety and lead to unnecessary biopsies," said lead study author Carrie A. Thompson, MD, a hematologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. "While our study shows that most of recurrences are found through a patient's symptoms, whether to do CT scans and how often should be tailored for each patient." Because a DLBCL recurrence usually causes symptoms, it is important for patients to report any new symptoms or a change in symptoms to the doctor. Some signs of a possible recurrence include swollen lymph nodes (tiny, bean-shaped organs that fight infection), night sweats, unexplained fever, and unintentional weight loss.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What type of lymphoma did I have?
- What is the risk that the disease will recur?
- What tests will I need to watch for a recurrence and how often will I need them?
- What are the risks and benefits of these tests?
- What are the signs and symptoms of a recurrence that I should watch for?

Symphony to play fan-chosen movie themes
www.wvsymphony.org CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- What do Maestro Grant Cooper and a great white shark with a taste for blood have in common?Both know how to use music to get in your head. The good news is you are safe with Cooper and the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. The Maestro wants to entertain and engage a wide audience on Friday and Saturday when he leads the symphony in an 8 p.m. Pops Series concert, "And the Winner Is...Music of the Movies!"This concert features music from the movies -- with a twist. Cooper said over the years audiences have suggested some version of a film awards show as part of a performance. There was a clear interest in the fun of audience voting and having the music for a concert revealed only on the night it was played.Anticipation and participation are what it's all about.The winners will be announced by special guests including Kanawha County Delegate Doug Skaff Jr., Jessica Ralston and Brooks Jarosz of WSAZ, Jenny Murray of V100, Adam Kranson of ZMM Architects & Engineers and Captain Cab of C&H Taxi. Maestro Cooper will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.The WVSO used two methods to collect votes to determine fans' favorite film scores in 11 categories: action, drama, horror, western, fantasy, romance, science fiction, sports, adventure, comedy and animated film. Three films were nominated in each category. "In December, we placed a paper ballot in our holiday pops program. That audience has a wide age range. We wanted to be inclusive," said Cooper. The symphony also provided the opportunity for online voting.Cooper said a pattern emerged in the musical tastes by the voting method used. Paper ballot voters were more "traditional" in their choices, while online voters' favorites indicated a younger crowd.Tallying the votes with integrity "was absolutely sacrosanct," according to Cooper. Concertgoers can be assured that the scores chosen reflect the actual votes cast."There was no skullduggery in this process," he said.Cooper sees an advantage in movie music over symphonic music. Movie music is by definition "supported by a narrative scene or a kind of visual spectacular." He notes the score from "Jaws" is incredibly effective in its job, but it can't stand on its own as a piece of music.That does not mean movie music never rises to the occasion of being its own art. John Williams composed the score for "Jaws," but he also scored the "Harry Potter" films and is the creative genius behind many other well-known movie themes. (In fact, 11 of the 33 nominees are his works.)Cooper describes the "Harry Potter" scores as "really sophisticated" pieces doing intricate things with piccolo and bassoon, and yet he's watched audiences of children sit in rapt attention to the music alone. "We can create our own narrative without film present."When asked about an encore process using audience ballots to drive WVSO content, Cooper is reflective. Will the symphony do this again?"That's a good question and reasonably deep to answer," he said. "We know what people vote for by the way they buy their tickets."The Symphony pays close attention to audience preferences and uses that data to influence its programming four to five years out, he noted.Cooper is sensitive to the line between responding to audience interests and running "a popularity contest." The process he wants the WVSO to use for most of its concert presentations is more refined than simply running numbers."What we do is really an act of trust and faith between the orchestra and the public."Reach Elizabeth Gaucher @ email@example.com or 304-348-1249.

I found this box in my attic. It is in good condition, although I can only estimate it has been there for more than 30 years. What I thought was so interesting about it, it says "glass cans" on it. I was most curious about what "glass cans" were, I contacted Anheuser-Busch about the box. They said it was a misprint. Could anyone tell me anything else about the "glass cans" or the box?

'"It's frustrating, and you want to see it get solved for the fans," Biron said yesterday. "Hamister wants to buy the team and expand on the entertainment part of the game. In Ottawa, they have that extra band of lighting (and advertising) at the top of the arena. That makes so much of a difference. But that's a lot of money to put that in. (Hamister) wants more parking, he wants to add more. He's willing to lose money in the short term. I hope people understand the situation. I was in Quebec City. It was just terrible. But the difference between here and Quebec City is that there was no private money coming in to Quebec City. Here, we've got that."'
