In those days all the Denny siblings considered twice baked potatoes to be the ultimate gourmet treat, something my mother didn't make very often for the twelve (12!) people she was cooking for.
I made this last night for my brother Mark, his wife Lisa, and two of my nephews and their wives, and it was a hit with everyone (even those who thought they didn't like cauliflower!) I did eliminate the butter and reduce the amount of bacon, to make it more South Beach Diet friendly, but your choice on that!
(Low-Carb Twice Baked Cauliflower was updated with better photos and a slightly lightened recipe, November 2011.)

Declaring "I am Charlie" in solidarity with victims of the Jan. 7 massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris does not come easy.
I find much of what the satirical magazine publishes to be obscene and hateful. Yet no form of expression should be punishable by death.
Would I be willing to say "Je suis Penthouse" or "Je suis Fox News" if the attacks were directed elsewhere? I honestly don't know. Yet I am Charlie.

Invasive noxious weeds impact Oregon economy
(Oregon Department of Agriculture) A newly released economic impact study shows that 25 of Oregon's most significant invasive noxious weeds cause an estimated annual loss of about $83.5 million to the state's economy, a figure that could be well over a billion dollars without current control efforts by state, county, and federal weed programs.
"This study is key to showing that noxious weeds not only have a critical environmental impact to native plants, water quality, and threatened and endangered fish and wildlife species, but these invasive weeds have a major impact on Oregon's economy," says Tim Butler, manager of the Oregon Department of Agriculture's Noxious Week Control Program.
The study, Economic Impact From Selected Noxious Weeds in Oregon, was prepared by The Research Group, LLC of Corvallis for ODA, and updates a similar study conducted in 2000. In its executive summary, the final report says "this current study provides an opportunity for ODA to look at the impacts of two widespread invasive weeds, and address the value of potential impact of up and coming noxious weeds. The study reveals the benefits of having safeguards such as prevention, early detection rapid response (EDDR), biological, and other control programs in place to minimize impacts."
Toast to the roasters

Moore's math teacher remembers
(News-Register staff) Parker Moore's 9th grade math teacher wrote a touching remembrance on his blog about the Linfield student who died Saturday night.
Ryan Adams, who besides teaching math is also a Linfield alumnus, remembers the Moore as a "good looking, athletic, popular and charismatic kid that girls had crushes on, and all athletes looked up to."
Moore also helped inspire Adams as a teacher too:
"Do you ever have students that when they walk into your class, they inherently care about the learning of every other student in the room?
"For the first five or six years of my career I would have easily answered that question with a loud and emphatic, No! Students may come in and are willing to help other students, are willing to work in groups, are willing speak to and disagree respectfully with every other student in the room. But care about their learning, no. That is until I had Parker Archie Moore in my 9th grade Alg 1 class."

Snow in November rare in these parts
(Starla Pointer/News-Register) As I watched snowflakes drifting down at 3 a.m. Thursday, I realized this was the earliest snowfall I'd ever seen here.
The Yamhill Valley doesn't get a lot of snow, for which I am grateful. And by the time it does, the calendar has usually turned to December or January.
We've had snow in February, too. We've even had dustings in March. And I remember driving through a snow-covered landscape to get to a Battle of the Books state final one April.
OSAA leaves Amity football in the cold
(Robert Husseman/News-Register Sports Editor) Amity High School's football team had a successful season this year but the Oregon State Activities Association left the Warriors off the state playoff list despite the team's lofty ranking. A worthy school is left off the list most every year but perhaps there's a better way to make post-season selections.
Winter is on its way south
(News-Register staff) After an exceptionally warm early autumn, the weather is about to turn icy, thanks to a blast of freezing air blowing down out of the Canadian Rockies.
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement for northwestern Oregon, warning of temperatures dropping into the 30s tonight, and the 20s tomorrow night, with freezing rain expected Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Temperatures are predicted to be in the low 30s Wednesday night. Conditions are expected to be windy Tuesday and Wednesday, as well.

Neishtot-Tavrig is situated in the Zemaitija
region of Western Lithuania, near the Sustis River, about 2 kilometers
from the border with East Prussia and 35 kilometers north-west of the
county city of Tavrig (Taurage), which for many years was a district
town in this county.
Until the First World War it was called
Neistot Sugint in Yiddish. Neishtot is mentioned in the official land
registry in the year 1650, in 1750 the town being granted commercial
privileges and in 1792 the right to self-government. After the third
division of Poland in 1795, Neishtot became part of Russia, as did most
of Lithuania, its name being changed to Aleksandrovsk having been
annexed to the Vilna Gubernia (Region), and as from 1843 to the Kovno
Gubernia. During the second half of the nineteenth century the town
developed considerably, to the extent that there were 165 houses in
1860 with 1,600 people living there, the majority being Jews.
Its proximity to the German border and the
existence of a customs office boosted its commerce. There were
warehouses for merchandise, 30 shops and taverns, 3 flour-mills, 3
workshops for leather processing, a hospital, an elementary school,
with two yearly fairs and two weekly markets being held in the town. By
1897 the population had increased to 2,445, including 1,438 Jews (59%).
When the World War I broke out in 1914, most
of Neishtot's houses were burned down, and being too near the front,
its inhabitants evacuated to safer places. During the years 1914-1918
Neishtot was ruled by the German Army, and after the war, when
independent Lithuania was established, the Germans returned the town to
the new state. From the middle of the 1930s it was called Zemaiciu
Naumiestis, the "new town of the Zemaitija people."
The Jewish Community until the end of World
War I.
Jews settled in Neishtot at the beginning of
the seventeenth century and made their living by trading, mainly grain
and flax, with Memel, Koenigsberg and Hamburg. They also owned shops
and a few families grew vegetables.
In due course the Jews built two synagogues -
a Beth-Knesseth and a Beth-Midrash. Among the Rabbis who served in
Neishtot were Avraham ben Shlomo-Zalman, (a brother of the Gaon of
Vilna), the author of the book "Ma'aloth Hatorah" ("Steps of the
Torah") published in Koenigsberg, 1851 (5611); his son Eliyahu ben
Avraham; his son Shlomo-Zalman ben Eliyahu; Ya'akov Bendetman who died
in 1861 and whose book "Zichron Ya'akov" was published by his grandson
in Vilna in 1875 (5635); Eliezer Yehoshua Shapira (from 1898).
Zionist ideas began to find roots in Neishtot
in the 1880s. On the occasion of Moshe Montifiori's 100th birthday in
1884, a special prayer "Mi Shebeirah" was offered in his honor by Torah
readers, and contributions were given for the settlement of
Eretz-Israel. The money raised was sent to the editorial board of the
Hebrew newspaper "Hameilitz" in St.Peterburg in order to be transferred
to Eretz-Israel. There were, however, also many opponents to Zionism in
During those years, hundreds of Neishtots Jews
emigrated to South Africa, England and America. Some Jews returned to
Neishtot after having lived in South Africa for a few years, bringing a
lot of money with them. In 1884 about 200 young men emigrated to
South-Africa, of whom 10 returned home to Neishtot, after becoming
wealthy. In those years there were families in Neishtot whose only
income was the money sent to them by their relatives from South-Africa.
In Neishtot, like in most of the Jewish
communities, mutual aid funds existed. When a pogrom took place in the
city of Nizhni-Novgorod in Russia in July 1884 and Jews were murdered,
money was raised for the kinsmen of the victims. The emigrants from
Neishtot in South Africa also raised a considerable sum of money, which
was sent to its destination via the Rabbi of Kovno, Yitzhak Elhanan
During this period a Jewish physician (Dr.
Paul Valk) and a Jewish pharmacist (Julian Veinstein) were active in
Neishtot and both were very devoted to helping the sick and poor of the
The German Army occupied Neishtot at the
beginning of the First World War, as mentioned before. They transferred
Jewish youth from Poland to Neishtot, placing them in the synagogues
which had been turned into labor camps, surrounded by a wire fence, its
inhabitants occupied in various tasks of forced labor and as conditions
were very bad, hunger and sickness prevailed. Neishtots Jews helped the
imprisoned far beyond their ability, in spite of the fact that it was
strictly forbidden to maintain any contact with the prisoners.
During the Period of Independent Lithuania.
At the beginning of the 1920s Neishtot elected
a community committee of nine members, in accordance with the Autonomy
Law for Jews. This committee acted via sub-committees in most spheres
of Jewish life and existed until the end of 1925. The committee owned
some agricultural land of a few hundred hectars outside the town, a
part of which was sold to local Jews and another part was leased, this
area being owned by the community until Lithuania became a Soviet
Republic in 1940.
According to the first survey of the
Lithuanian Government in 1923, there were then 1,771 people, of them
664 Jews (37%), in the town.
The Jews made their living mainly from
commerce, some of them were craftsmen. The German border being near,
the export of horses, geese, flax, eggs and other agricultural produce
went by way of Neishtot, many Jewish families earning their livelihood
from this trade, although the main exporters were local Germans.
According to the government survey of 1931,
Neishtot had 33 shops, 22 (63%) of them owned by Jews according to the
table below:
The type of the business Total In JewishOwnership________________________ ____ ________________Groceries 2 0Butcher shops and meat trade 7 4Restaurants and taverns 8 4Textile products and furs 3 2Leather and shoes 2 1Haberdashery and cooking utensils 1 1Drugs and cosmetics 1 1Watches and jewelry 2 2Others 9 7
According to the same survey the Jews in
Neishtot owned a power station (S.Rabin), a wool combing workshop and a
bakery. In 1937 there were 25 Jewish craftsmen: 6 tailors, 4
shoemakers, 4 butchers, 2 tinkers, 1 baker, 1 hatter, 1 carpenter, 1
barber, 1 watchmaker and 4 other tradesmen in the town.
The Volksbank, established in 1925 and
claiming 102 members was accepted as a member of the Association of the
Volksbanks in Lithuania in 1930 and contributed very much to the
economic life of the town. In 1939 there were 40 telephones, of which
10 belonged to Jews.
Jewish children were educated in the local
Hebrew school established in 1920 and many of them continued their
studies in the Hebrew High Schools and "Yeshivoth" of the state
(Tavrig, Telsh, Kelm, Slobodka). There was also a "Heder" in Neishtot
with very few pupils as well as a Jewish library with several hundred
books in Hebrew and in Yiddish.
From time to time there were theatrical
performances by local amateurs. The synagogue (shul) which was burned
down in 1914, was rebuilt as a magnificent brick building thanks to the
donation of 1,000 pounds from the former citizens of Neishtot, Sami
Marx and the brothers Luis and Max Rotshild from South Africa. The
initiative for this enterprise came from Rabbi Ya'akov Moshe Lesin ,
who was also the last Rabbi of Neishtot (see plaque on the synagogue
This buiding still stands as can be seen in
the photo above that was taken in 1996. In the "shul" prayers took
place only during the summer, because it was too cold there in the
winter. In the other synagogue, the "Beth-Midrash", where most middle
class people prayed, all of whom were acquainted with the "Torah", they
would study a page of the "Talmud" in the evenings. There was an
additional house of prayer (Klois) for the craftsmen of Neishtot, which
also served as their meeting place. In this "Klois", in addition to
praying, they would learn a chapter of "Ein Ya'akov" (a collection of
tales in the "Talmud"). Some boys of Neishtot were organized in
"Tifereth-Bahurim", an organization whose task it was to learn "Torah"
and to be engaged in public and social activity.
Neishtot's welfare institutions consisted of
"Linath Hatzedek" and "Gmiluth Hasadim", helping those in need, as well
as the "Ezra" and "Adath-Israel" societies, who competed with each
other with regard to managing the community's affairs.
Many of Neishtot's Jews supported the Zionist
idea and there were supporters of all the Zionist parties. In the
elections to the first Lithuanian "Seim" (Parliament), which took place
in October 1922, 161 Jews voted for the Zionist list, 105 - for
"Ahduth" (Religious) and 3 for the Democrats.
Below are the results of the elections to the
Zionist congresses in Neishtot:
Many of the youngsters were organized in
"Maccabi", which had a football team and athletics classes.
On the whole, relations between the Jews and the
Lithuanian majority were more or less correct. But in the middle of the
1930s a branch of the Lithuanian Merchants Association "Verslas" was
established in Neishtot, whose task it was to expel the Jews from
commerce. In March 1936 there was an attempt to stage a pogrom on
Neishtot's Jews as a result of a blood libel, but the police crushed it
before it began. In April 1939 two Lithuanians were caught trying to
erase signs of Jewish shops.
On the third of May 1939, during a big market
fair in Neishtot, violence broke out against the Jews, when windows of
Jewish houses and of the Beth-Midrash as well as the schools were
smashed. During those several hours when the crowds rampaged, the local
police did not intervene, and only forces summoned from outside stopped
the raging crowd.
During this "Pogrom" 1722 windows and much
furniture in 62 Jewish houses were broken (A partial list of the Jews
who were injured in this pogrom is given in Appendix 1). The estimate
of the damage amounted to 8360 Lit (A worker earned 3-4 Lit per day).
The authorities intervened and 21 Lithuanians
were punished in that same month: 18 were sent to a labor camp, the
other three were fined. As a result of these and other events the
number of the Jews in Neishtot decreased to 120 families, many Jews
emigrating to South Africa and America, and the youth to Eretz-Israel.
Among the native sons of Neishtot there were
Sami Marx, in due course a millionaire in South Africa, a senator and
friend of the former President of South-Africa Paul Kruger; N.D.
Hofman, a correspondent of "Hameilitz" and later the pioneer of the
Jewish press in South-Africa; Shmuel Talpioth, an educator in Montreal,
who was a correspondent of the newspapers "Hameilitz", "Hatzfira",
"Hatzofeh" and "Hazman" and published many articles in the "Kanader
Adler"; Eliyahu Ragoler served as Rabbi in several communities in
Lithuania, and also Shlomo Zalman Abel, one of the founders of the
famous Yeshiva of Telsh.
During World War II and Thereafter.
With the annexation of Lithuania to the Soviet
Union in the summer of 1940, most of the industrial plants and big
shops were nationalized. The supply of goods was reduced, and
consequently prices rose. The middle class, mostly Jewish, was badly
hurt, its standard of living reduced and several Jewish families were
exiled to Russia. All Zionist parties and youth organizations were
dispersed and Hebrew educational and cultural institutions were closed.
On the 22nd of June 1941, at 5 o'clock in the
morning, the German Army entered Neishtot As a result of shooting from
the dwellings of the Soviet officers, 14 German soldiers were killed,
and in response the Germans arrested many Jewish men and imprisoned
them in the local Lutheran Church. Only after the Lithuanian priest
assured the Germans that the Jews were innocent, were they allowed to
return to their homes. In the first weeks of the occupation the Jews
were employed in various types of work, such as sweeping streets,
repairing roads, and many Jews worked in a big German field bakery.
They had to wear a yellow patch on their clothes and were forbidden to
walk on the sidewalks.
At the beginning of July all the Jews were
ordered to leave their houses and to concentrate in a few houses in the
Pigs street, a derelict quarter near the Sustis River, which was the
Ghetto of Neishtot's Jews.
Sometime in June the Jews were forced, by means
of threats and beatings, to remove all the holy books, the "Torah
Scrolls", the "Aron Kodesh" and even the benches from the synagogue, to
take them to the yard and to burn them.
The Germans and the Lithuanians took five Jewish
girls from the Ghetto, and what happened to them is not known. They
were: Rivka Lesin, Menucha Volpert, Sheine Glat-Shor, Gisa Berelowitz,
Chana Shnaid and Rachel Lerman.
On Saturday, 24th of Tamuz 5701 (19.7.1941), all
men 14 years old and above were ordered to assemble in the yard of the
synagogue, where the old and the sick, about 70 people, were separated
from them. Ten men were released in order to take care of the women and
children in the Ghetto and the remaining 27 men were put on trucks, to
be transferred in the direction of the German border. At their request,
the S.S. men allowed them to take warm clothes from their homes. The
same evening they arrived in Heidekrug, about 15 km from Neishtot,
where they were imprisoned in a labor camp. On that day all the old and
the sick from Neishtot and the neighboring town Vainutas were forced to
dig a big hole, after which they were made to take off their clothes
and were then murdered by Lithuanian policemen in the valley of
Siaudviciai. Trucks of Jews from Pajuris, Shvekshna, Verzhan
(Veivirzenai), Riteve (Rietava), Chveidan (Kvedarna) and Laukuva were
brought to this place and all were shot and buried there. More Jews
from other towns were brought to the Heidekrug camp, where Neishtot's
Jews found many acquaintances and even friends among the S.S. and the
foremen, but these people distanced themselves and behaved badly to
them. The Jews in the camp worked very hard, suffering from hunger and
abuse, and the women in the Ghetto were taken to work with peasants in
the vicinity. One day, probably the 4th of Tishrei (September 25,
1941), the ten men, all the women and children were taken to
Siaudviciai and murdered there. The Jewish men were kept in the
Heidekrug camp for more then two years, during which time some were
murdered by the Germans, but at the end of July 1943 those still alive
were transferred to Auschwitz. On their arrival there (the first of Av
5703) a selection took place and 99 of them, among them some of
Neishtot's Jews, were sent to the crematorium. In October 1943
thousands of men, among them the survivors of Neishtot, were
transferred to Warsaw, where they worked to clear the debris of the
ruined Ghetto. Their material and sanitary conditions were so bad that
typhus broke out and many of them died. When the battle front
approached Warsaw in the summer of 1944, some of the forced laborers
were sent to a camp near Dachau, others were left in the same place and
worked in explosive blasting. Only a few of Neishtot's Jews who were
left in Warsaw, were eventually freed by the Red Army, the others, who
had been sent to Bavaria, were freed by the American Army. Of those
Neishtot Jews who had been forcibly sent to the Heidekrug labor camp,
only seven survived. The Berelowitz family, one of the few Jewish
families who managed to escape to Russia at the beginning of the war,
returned to Neishtot at the end of hostilities. During the night
between the the 11th and the 12th of May 1946 their houses were blown
up by Lithuanian nationalists and the mother of the family Necha
Berelowitz, her daughter Chana Berelowitz, her brother Asher Joselewitz
and Mordechai Berelowitz were killed. Shlomo Berelowitz, who fought
with the Red Army in freeing Lithuania from the Nazis, was badly
injured. In his trial the murderer testified that he killed the Jews
because he could not tolerate the fact that Jews were returning to
Neishtot and settling there again.
The survivors and a few other natives of
Neishtot who returned from Russia managed, after great efforts, to set
up a tombstone on the mass graves on which they wrote:" Here rest
citizens of the Soviet Union who were murdered by the Nazis."
In "Martef Hashoa" (The Holocaust Cellar) on
Mount Zion in Jerusalem, the former citizens of Neishtot in Israel
erected a memorial plate for their community.

Jose Martinez got his first introduction to Lowriding at ten years old when his brothers Raul and Bobby, and their friend, Danny Knight, started building Lowrider bikes. A couple of years later, Jose got his first job working weekends with his uncle doing construction. The plan was to save the money he was earning to buy his first car. This finally happened when he was fourteen years old, as he had finally saved enough money from the construction job to buy his first car, a 1969 Chevy Impala. That summer, he got a job working in a body shop, which only furthered his interest in Lowriding and building custom cars.
While working at the body shop as body man's helper, Jose learned quite a bit. What he learned at work, he applied to the body of his '69 Impala. One of the first things he did was flake the top candy blue. This was quite an accomplishment for a fourteen year old. Because he was still not of driving age, Jose's father did not approve of his hobby, but as he got older, he changed his mind and accepted it. In high school, Jose took auto body as an elective and became even more confident in fixing up cars. He bought a 1954 Chevy Bel-Air hard top from his good friend, Tony Allain, and his passion for older Chevy automobiles blossomed from there.
Jose also met his wife, Caroline, in high school. They dated all through high school and later married. When they started to have children, Jose decided to take a break from car building and focus on his growing family. He did not completely step away; the family would attend car shows regularly. Once the children were older, it was time for Jose to build another car.
The year Jose turned thirty-nine; he purchased the 1939 Chevy Master Deluxe you see here. Since he bought it on his 39th birthday, he named the car "Mr. 39." The plan was to restore the '39 back to showroom status with a few upgrades.
The first task was to get the body back up to Jose's standards. Jose's wife had a cousin in Arizona by the name of Armando Perez. Armando is the owner of Copa Paint & Body in Maricopa, Arizona. Armando had the car for a year to ensure that the body was restored to better than factory condition before he sprayed the custom Candy Cherry Red that was selected by Jose's wife, Caroline.
When the car got back to California, Jose started to reassemble it to send it out in order to have some other work done. Richard Mendoza at Sun Shine Customs in Montclair, California covered the interior in a tan cloth that complimented the red exterior. Jose even had a vintage baby seat reupholstered to match! Roy Castillo at So Cal Concepts rewired the car, starting with a custom made wiring harness. He used old-school cloth wire with a lacquer finish to wire the car, using 10 and 16 gauge where necessary. He added a fuse box as an added safety feature and by the time he was finished, everything electrical in the car worked, including the gauges in the dash and the dome lights. Roy was also contracted to install a stealth audio system consisting of Alpine and Boston Acoustic components. The audio system pushes a very clean, crisp, and loud 400 watts of power but does not take away from the original look of the '39.
Jose contacted Jose Luis De La Cruz at Reliable Powder Coating in Downey, California to powder coat components on the car and Sergio Herrera at Metal Finishing Marketers Inc., in Los Angeles, California took care of the chroming.
The last two things Jose made sure were updated and in working condition were the suspension and motor. Kevin Currell at SIK Fabrications in Corona, California installed the air bag set up which allows the '39 to ride smoothly and clear driveways with ease, while still being able to lay on the rocker panels when it's parked. Jose then added 14×7 wire wheels mated to 14 inch premium sportway 5.20's. Steve Gaugler of Gaugler Racing in Lancaster, California rebuilt the 235ci out of a 1955 Chevy, and Jose added a whole lot of chrome and powder-coated items to the engine.
No Chevy bomb is complete without some accessories, so Jose added a GM Clock, GM Locking Gas Cap, Banjo Steering Wheel, Bumper Guards and an AAA License Plate Topper that was given to him by his friend, Lomo.
With a construction time of 2-½ years and a lot of cash, Jose was finally done with his '39. On its first outing to a car show, Jose placed first in his class at a car show at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. For Jose, the first place was confirmation that his '39 project was well worth the time and money. Jose wishes to thank his wife, Caroline, and his children Casandra, Clarissa, Jose Jr., Michael, and his granddaughter, Elena. He'd also like to thank Tony Paradiso, Ruben Rodriguez, Carlos Moroyoqui, Jim Banda and his car club Latin Magic. While on the subject of gratitude we'd like to thank Jose for giving us the opportunity to shoot the car before it even participated in its first show. We look forward to seeing more builds from Jose and his club Latin Magic. n

I stumbled across a post on the Pacers board at Indysports.net, and it was talking about Sarunas, and someone claimed to have some insider info about him, and saying he would be willing to sign with the Pacers, if they came within 700k of other offers.
Now, I know most stuff like this looks bogus, but this one feels a little different.
The person making these claims on this post is the moderator there, and also posts at RATS, and never seemed like a troll on there.
He also says he is a soccer player in Australia, and he has the same agent as Sarunas, and that is his source.
Here is the link below, take a look at it, the person who's posts I'm referring to is Blahzay, and they are the posts in red, scroll down a few from the top top see them.
Now, I'm not saying this is going to happen 100%, but it looked interesting to me enough to see what everyone thought of it, and would make for some interesting conversation.
So take a look at the posts in that thread, and see if it makes you feel any differently about our chances of signing Sarunas, even with Cleveland still having plenty of cap space, I think if they offer him around 3 mil per year, and we can come close to that, he could be signed here, but everything is just a guess at this point.

Lowering Hypertension
I am seeking additional ways or remedies to assist in lowering my blood pressure which is typically high. I was told that taking apple cider vinegar was a good way to help lower the pressure. Is this true?
Not really. Ask your doctor about magnesium oxide instead.

Standout golfer Seb Crampton — a 16-year-old junior at Stevenson School in Pebble Beach — has given a verbal commitment to attend powerhouse Cal, the nation's top-ranked program.
He chose the Golden Bears over dozens of other suitors, including Stanford, the program he grew up yearning to attend since taking up the sport as a 9-year-old.
Crampton, an African-American, grew up idolizing Tiger Woods and the Cardinal.
"Growing up, my heart was set on Stanford," Crampton said. "But as I got older, my eyes got opened to more schools and more opportunities. I'm very excited. I don't think it's sunk in yet."
The Bears — the 2004 NCAA champion — are the nation's top team, according to golfweek.com and golfstat.com.
Crampton committed to Bears coach Steve Desimone and assistant Walter Chun on Dec. 23.
Beginning in 2014, Crampton will play for Stanford's rival. He'll sign his letter of intent in November.
"Stanford will never be my rival," said Crampton, noting his going to adorn his driver with a Cal head cover as soon as possible. "I have the upmost respect for coach (Conrad) Ray and his program."
Stevenson coach Bill Hankison said Crampton had all the best programs on West Coast chasing him, Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC, St. Mary's, San Diego and Oregon.
"He had at least a dozen after him," Hankison said. "There's been a whole list. And what they liked most about him: He's such a raw talent. He's a pretty modest kid from a pretty modest background. And his parents have done everything they can to help him."
Though Crampton has shined at numerous Northern California Golf Association events, he made a name for himself with success at the national level, particularly in USGA qualifying events.
He didn't play many national events out of the area dues to costly travel expenses.
"I've been coaching 45 years," said Hankison, who also coached basketball at Stevenson, "and he works as hard as any player I've ever had. He knows how to put in the time."
Last summer, Crampton reached 36-hole sectional qualifying and narrowly advanced to the U.S. Open held at Olympic Club in San Francisco. He also played in a junior goodwill event pitting the U.S. against China. Crampton was hand-picked by the USGA to compete in the event.
I n 2010, Crampton, then 14, tied for second place at local qualifying for the U.S. Open. He chipped in for birdie on the 18th hole at Half Moon Bay Golf Links to qualify for sectional play after tying for second place with five other players, including PGA Tour golfer and former Stanford star Joseph Bramlett. Crampton was the youngest golfer in the 91-player field.
Crampton became a scratch golfer by the time he was 13. He has one career ace and three double eagles.
His low round is an 8-under-par 64 at Quail Lodge Golf Club in Carmel. His tournament low is a 6-under 66 at Harding Park in last year's U.S. Open section qualifying.
At Stevenson, Crampton has helped the Pirates win the past two Central Coast Section team titles.
Nearly every major college program pursued Crampton, a 6-foot-1, 150-pound right-hander.
Crampton lived in both Soquel and Aptos before relocating to Pacific Grove to attend to Stevenson.
He grew up playing courses throughout the county and said he plans to continue to do so, noting he'll compete at the Santa Cruz City Amateur at DeLaveaga Golf Course this summer.
"That's my home course," Crampton said. "I'll be there."

Colon Cancer
How to Test & Lower Risk for Colon Cancer?
It seems that people have an increased risk of developing any type of cancer as they age. I`m mostly concerned about colon cancer. Are there any specific things that can be done or avoid to reduce risk? Is colonoscopy the only way I can be tested?
Some lifestyle events are associated with lower risk of colon cancer. These include diets low in red meat, maintaining a lean body weight, and getting exercise. Regularly taking aspirin or other so called NSAID type drugs (celebrex for example) also lowers risk of colon cancers and precancerous polyps, but the drugs have risk (ulcers and bleeding with aspirin, cardiovascular events with celebrex), so they are not recommended for use only for this purpose.
Colonoscopy is the most reliable way to get tested. It is not perfect, and some lesions can be missed. Virtual colonoscopy, or a CT scan of the colon, is an alternative. It can miss smaller lesions, and still requires the same laxative preparation as a colonoscopy. There may be a role for stool DNA tests as an adjunctive test in years following colonoscopy (or as an alternative for individuals who are not willing to have a colonoscopy). But these tests are not yet approved by the FDA, and more research will be needed to fully define their utility in clinical practice.

A 'SURLY teenager' who attacked a disabled man and pushed him into the path of a van, has been spared jail.
Liam Vyse, 19, whose victim Philip Barnes may have given the appearance of being drunk, had thought what he did was 'quite amusing' and an onlooker had recorded his reaction on a mobile phone, Burnley Crown Court was told.
Mr Barnes, 55, was left with a cut above his eye, but got himself up and stumbled to some benches near Nelson Bus Station, where a woman tended to his injuries, the court heard.
Vyse, described by a judge and his barrister as a surly teenager, was warned he needed to grow up. The defendant, who thought he should be given a community sentence, got one, but not because it was what he wanted. Judge Beverley Lunt told him: "You don't get to pick and choose sentence. I do."
Vyse, of Princess Street, Nelson, admitted assault causing actual bodily ham, last July. He received 26 weeks in detention, suspended for a year, with 12 months' supervision.

AT&T is Making it Easier and More Affordable for Students to Stay Connected While Abroad
New Study Abroad Packages Bundle Calling, Messaging and Data; Available August 9th
Dallas, Texas, August 01, 2013
With the start of the new school year quickly approaching, AT&T* is excited to introduce AT&T Study Abroad, an international roaming package designed exclusively for students and teachers participating in a study abroad program. The package will be available August 9th—just in time for school.
Instead of signing up for local wireless service while abroad—which means family and friends back home must call an international number to reach you, AT&T Study Abroad offers students and teachers the convenience of having their existing AT&T device, mobile number and content during their stay. Plus they can take advantage of significant savings when calling, messaging or using data in more than 150 countries.
Eligible customers can choose from two package options:
- The $60/month package includes 250 voice minutes, 250 outgoing messages and 250MB of cellular data.
- The $90/month package includes 400 voice minutes, 400 outgoing messages, 400MB of cellular data and 1GB of Wi-Fi on eligible devices.
Customers can call 877-777-4186 to sign up for one of the new Study Abroad package options, beginning August 9.
Please visit att.com/studyabroad today for more information, including eligibility requirements.**

Kazakhstan is the world's No. 1 importer of Ryan McDonagh.
McDonagh, the New York Rangers' 23-year-old star defenseman, agreed on a contract with HC Barys of the KHL and will play in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, during the NHL lockout.
Before games, presumably, they play the actual Kazakh national anthem—not the "Borat" version.
"The decision was tough but ultimately I wanted to put myself in a situation that would best prepare me to be playing at my best when the Rangers start up again," McDonagh told the New York Daily News through email Tuesday afternoon. "I love playing this game and this is a great opportunity for me to play and stay in game shape so I can ultimately be at my best to help the Rangers win."
McDonagh, in his first full NHL season, played on the Rangers' top pairing alongside All-Star Dan Girardi. The end result: seven goals, 25 assists, 24:44 in ice time per game, including an average of more than three minutes on the penalty kill, a sprinkling of power-play time and matchups against elite forwards on virtually every shift.
He broke out even further during the postseason and played a staggering 53:17 in the Rangers' triple-OT first-round win over the Washington Capitals.
A Minnesota native, McDonagh immediately becomes the best North American player in the KHL, though Russian superstars like Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk have already made the jump.

Some practical jokes are fun, some are embarassing, some are destructive. When we were kids, we were ready to trick some unsuspecting victim into doing something that would turn out to be funny, at least to us if not to them. Most practical jokes can be done only one time and after that the victim will not fall for the same trick a second time.
When automobiles were still pretty new, they weighed a lot less, and were higher off the ground. There were fewer paved parking lots and not every home had a hard surfaced driveway. They had rear wheel drive and if one of the back wheels was not getting traction, it would just spin and the car would not move.
Picnics were often held in open fields and sometimes a driver would have a little too much to drink. That's when a couple of his "friends" would lift one of the rear wheels and put some rocks or boards under the axle. When the driver attempted to move his car, that wheel would spin free. Getting out of the car to see why didn't always help, especially if there was grass under the wheel.
That would be funny to everyone except the innocent victim.
On some old cars the radiator cap would fit the gas tank and the gas tank cap would fit on the radiator. However, if that was done, the car would go a short distance and quit because it had the wrong cap on the gas tank. Drivers that didn't know that, would take a long time to figure it out. That could take place by accident or by a practical joker.
Another car stunt was to disconnect one or two spark plug wires. The car might start and run, but it would sputter and the engine just wouldn't run very well.
When I worked on the railroad, one of the engineers would have two hard boiled eggs for lunch every day. One of his crew members substituted a raw egg for one of his cooked ones. When he cracked the shell, the raw eggs splattered all over his brake valve handle. Then he didn't know whether to try cracking the second egg or not.
I've seen a man wearing a fake flower in the lapel of his jacket and when someone noticed it, the man would invite the friend to smell it.
The flower would be attached to a hose with a rubber bulb full of water concealed in a pocket. A quick squeeze of the bulb and the invited guest would get squirted with a faceful of water.
I don't know what happened to my dribble glass. It was a fancy cut glass water tumbler with two or three places where the cut in the glass went all the way through.
When the unsuspecting guest would take a drink, some of the water would dribble onto his hands and chin.
"Inchy Pinchy" is a parlor game that requires everyone seated around a table to know what it is except the victim.
The leader tweaks the cheek of the person to his left with thumb and forefinger and says, "Inchy pinchy on the left cheek." That person does the same to the person on his left and so on all around the table. The game continues on the right cheek, the chin, the nose, the forehead etc.
It generates gales of laughter and everyone has lots of fun, except the victim. He doesn't know that the person next to him (or her) has lipstick on his fingers.
Prank phone calls were fun when the telephone was something new and long before there was caller ID.
When Prince Albert was a popular pipe tobacco, kids would call a store that sold tobacco products and ask if they had Prince Albert in a can. If the answer was yes, the kid would ask the store person to please let him out.
Some times a practical joke can backfire.
When ground coffee was sold in paper bags, a couple of my buddies filled one of those bags with sand or sawdust or cinders (I don't remember which) and left it out on the sidewalk in front of the empty lot next door to our house.
We expected someone would find it, take it home, and be surprised when it was not full of coffee. While we watched through the window, a man found it and figured it might belong to us. He rang our doorbell and when my sister answered she ended up thanking him for returning it.
There used to be a store on East 9th Street in downtown Cleveland that sold all kinds of practical joke items.
I think it was called Jean's Fun House. I would go in there just to see what they had but seldom bought anything. That's probably where I got my dribble glass. I also bought some Mexican jumping beans. They had some kind of worm inside that made the bean move.
The store sold exploding cigars, rubber hot dogs and rubber swiss cheese, stink bombs, itching powder, and sneezing powder.
You could buy chewing gum that looked like Black Jack chewing gum, except it left your whole mouth black for a while until the color wore off. I bought a device that left a bit of white thread on the lapel of my suit coat and when some helpful person would try to pick it off, they would unwind yards of thread concealed in a spool under the lapel. A gory item was a little box lined with cotton. If you held the box the right way, you could put a finger, or maybe your thumb, through the hole in the bottom and when the box was opened it looked like there was a freshly amputated finger in it.
The " fun house" also sold marked playing cards that let you know what the card was by looking at the pattern on the back. I don't know how one would use the loaded dice they sold. You would need to have two pair, one loaded and another not, and secretly switch when it was your turn.
I wonder if kids today even know how to have fun the way we did.

Andrew Bogut is buying 100 lower level tickets to every Bucks home game. If the invited fans don't continue to make noise, or miss 3 games they are not invited back. He still needs a few more. This is a respectable and cool move on Boguts part.
Chris Tomasson
MILWAUKEE -- Joakim Noah got the treatment from Squad 6.
"Dude looks like a lady,'' the fans screamed at the long-haired Chicago center.
Stephen Jackson also got it.
"Who's your next team?'' they yelled at Jackson, who recently joined Charlotte, his sixth outfit in 10 NBA seasons.
Then there's Orlando's Dwight Howard. As he toed the free-throw line, "Superman'' heard a group of fans yelling "Superwoman.''
"Vince Carter and Jason Williams were just staring up at us,'' fan Joe Woelfel said of Howard's teammates. "They looked kind of upset.''
Which means Squad 6, a group of superfans at the Bradley Center, must be doing its job.
Squad 6 is the brain child of Andrew Bogut, a Milwaukee center who got tired of the loudest sounds at home games sometimes being the ball dribbled up the court. Fan Steve Gill said in recent years the "place had been a library.''
But no longer. Bogut is buying 100 tickets per game this season at the top of the lower bowl and distributing them to fans.
The fans are known as Squad 6 because of Bogut's uniform number and because they're the Bucks' sixth man. But there are rules if one wants to remain a member and keep getting tickets free that have a face value of $96.
You've got to stand the entire game and cheer like heck. You've got to wear Bucks gear. And, when it comes to painting your face, that might be assumed.
"I saw a couple of fans in Houston singing and stuff,'' Bogut said of why he decided to form Squad 6. "I wanted to do something for the atmosphere at the Bradley Center. So we had auditions. It was basically the crazier and louder you are, the more of a chance you had of getting free tickets. ... But, if you're in the squad and somebody sees you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing, you don't get tickets for the next game.''
Bogut, making $10 million this season, estimates he will spend close to $100,000 this season on tickets for these wild fans. While at face value 100 $96 tickets for 41 home games would equal $393,600, Bogut gets some tickets complimentary and discounts on others.
Still, a NBA player forking over nearly six digits to give free tickets to hardcore fans? Nobody could be found who knows of anybody else having done this.
"I've never heard of this idea before,'' said John Hammond, in his second season as Bucks general manager. "It's been the best thing that has happened to our arena in a year at least. It's kind of a collegiate feel. It's bringing fun and frolics to a professional arena. ... Senator (Herb) Kohl (the Bucks owner) said that, if we can have a hundred of them in each corner, that would really change our building.''
It's already changed things for the Bucks, who, with exciting rookie guard Brandon Jennings also helping plenty, are 7-2 at home and 9-8 overall after being picked to be an NBA bottom feeder. Squad 6 members look like they're doing jumping jacks the entire game as they cheer on their beloved Bucks.
Some shake cowbells. Some take shirts off to display numbers painted on their chests of favorite Bucks players.
Many drink beer. After all, this is Milwaukee.
The fans, mostly young men ranging from college age into their 30s, pay homage to Bogut being from Australia. Woelfel, a Marquette senior, has brought a didgeridoo, a long, wooden Australian instrument, to games. The fans regularly chant, "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!''
"This is wonderful to get a free ticket like this,'' said Squad 6 member Nick Honeck, 27, wearing during a recent game a Bogut No. 6 jersey and shaking a Bucks flag and a cow bell. "I would always be the person in the stands screaming and everybody would be looking at me like I'm weird. But now I'm here with all the people doing it. It's wonderful. Andrew Bogut is awesome for doing it. This is where the true diehards are. Now we have a place to go.''
After Bogut came up with the idea, he went to Bucks public relations officials. Soon, auditions were set up for fans to prove they are diehards.
Bogut was going to serve as a judge for one, but he came down with a migraine headache and couldn't make it. But more auditions could be in the works, and he wants to be there.
"People had 30 to 60 seconds to show why they're a Bucks fan,'' Zak Grim, the director of Squad 6 who works with the Bucks in game operations, said of the auditions. "We had people that came up with Bucks raps. We had a duo who did a skit where LeBron James tried to do his powder thing. One of them played LeBron James and the other came over and just knocked him down and started chanting for the Bucks.''
In order to get free tickets, fans also have been able to send in videos and photos or go through telephone interviews. So far, just about everybody who has put effort into becoming a member of Squad 6 has been given a ticket to at least one game.
But no member is safe. While often leading routines, Grim, a burly man who could moonlight as a bouncer, eyes the group carefully to make sure everybody is cheering appropriately. Slackers won't be invited back.
Grim said nobody has been cut yet because of inferior cheering but there have been nearly 10 booted due to attendance problems. An unexcused absence from three games and you're on the waiver wire.
While Grim said the 100 spots are close to filling up, there are still some available. Those interested can go to the team Website or check out Squad 6 on Facebook.
"It's an awesome idea,'' Bucks guard Luke Ridnour said of Bogut's creation. "(The fans have) been into the game cheering the whole time. It's like an overseas crowd. They're always yelling chants and jumping up and down.''
The fans have had an impact on games. Grim cited several examples of opposing players taking quick shots after Squad 6 members counted down the shot clock starting at five when the clock actually was at seven.
One of those players was Dallas star Dirk Nowitzki in a Nov. 16 game. But don't think for a minute Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, on hand that night, doesn't like Squad 6.
"When we were in Milwaukee, everybody on our bench commented on how fun that group was,'' Cuban wrote in an e-mail, noting Dallas has a Painted Fan promotion in which fans who paint themselves with Mavericks colors get free lower-level standing-room tickets in order to jump around and make noise. "They were bouncing and singing all game long.
"Some people mistakenly think our product at games is basketball. It's not. It's creating a unique experience for people of all ages to come out and get away from the real world and have fun. ... Painted Fans, (Squad 6) are just the equivalent of the crazy aunt and uncle who make weddings fun. Everyone loves them.''
Games have seen Squad 6 members show up in full Bucks mascot gear (that's right, they looked like deer), crazy wigs and Afros. Woelfel doesn't play his didgeridoo, but he shakes it while jumping up and down, which apparently is good enough.
"I'm not going to give a ticket to somebody who just sits there,'' Bogut said. "That's not what we want. But they've been great. It's been awesome. They get the rest of the crowd involved.''
They even get Bogut involved. He admitted he was laughing to himself at the free-throw line when Squad 6 got on the long-haired Noah earlier this week.

Affiliation with Cal State Dominguez Hills Yields Two New Degree Programs
Joint J.D./M.A. in Negotiation, and 3+3 Program for CSUDH undergrads launched
Southwestern has established two exciting new programs in cooperation with California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH): a joint J.D./M.A. Program, and a 3+3 Program through which students can earn their B.A. and J.D. degrees in six years.
The Joint J.D./M.A. Program enables graduate students to complete a J.D. degree at Southwestern while concurrently earning an M.A. degree in Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding from CSUDH. The 3+3 Option Program allows selected CSUDH students who meet program requirements to enter law school at Southwestern after completing just three years of undergraduate study at CSUDH.
In his announcement about the new programs, Dean Bryant Garth said, "This new collaboration presents a splendid opportunity for Southwestern to expand our law students' academic experiences and credentials, and to encourage promising undergraduate students from a wide range of backgrounds to pursue a legal education at Southwestern."
California State University, Dominguez Hills is one of the most ethnically diverse higher education campuses in the United States with a student population of over 12,850 that is 40 percent Hispanic, 30 percent African American, 18 percent Caucasian, 11 percent Asian/Pacific Islander, and just under 1 percent American Indian. Additionally, immigrant and visa students represent 90 countries. Like Southwestern, CSUDH has built its mission on serving as "a student-centered, diverse urban university, committed to excellence." It offers 43 undergraduate majors and 23 Master's degree programs and also provides the largest distance-learning program in California, recognized as one of the top 20 "Cyber" programs by Forbes magazine. The campus is located in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. CSUDH courses for the joint J.D./M.A. degree program may be completed at the Dominguez Hills campus or online.
President Mildred Garcia of CSUDH and Professor A. Marco Turk, the Director of the CSUDH Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding program in the College of Arts and Humanities, were instrumental in developing the partnership.
"Partnering with Southwestern Law School on two unique options to the Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding program will only add to the high regard the program currently enjoys," CSUDH President Garcia said. "To be able to offer graduate students a concurrent J.D. and undergraduate students the possibility of a law degree in six years are truly amazing educational opportunities, and both are shining examples of the outstanding academic endeavors Cal State Dominguez Hills provides to its students."
Professor Turk will supervise the joint programs for CSUDH. A 1960 graduate of Southwestern who served for many years on the law school's adjunct faculty, he is a former Fulbright Senior Scholar in Conflict Resolution (Cyprus) and a member of the mediation panel for the California Court of Appeal. For an overview of the new programs, click here. Questions may be directed to Assistant Dean Pat Pyle.
Regarding the J.D./M.A. Program, Professor Turk said, "I feel that such a joint degree program will be extremely advantageous to our respective participating graduates in today's competitive professional world. It will give them a 'leg-up' in terms of sought-after job opportunities and possibilities for meaningful community service."
In the future, the two institutions may also benefit from joint research activities and publications, applications for research funding, co-sponsorship of seminars and academic conclaves, sharing of course materials and curricula, and other cooperative efforts. The relationship with CSUDH will also serve as a model for Southwestern affiliations with other academic and professional entities.
Joint J.D./M.A. Degree Program Overview
The Joint J.D./M.A. Program enables graduate students to complete a J.D. degree at Southwestern while concurrently earning an M.A. degree in Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding from California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH). Requirements and program components include:
- J.D. degree at Southwestern.
- M.A. at CSUDH in Negotiation, Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding (NCRP).
- M.A. degree requires 36 total units, 27 at CSUDH and 9 at Southwestern.
- NCRP Post-Master's Certificate option requires 18 total units, 9 at CSUDH and 9 at Southwestern (to be awarded following conferring of the J.D. degree).
- Students at Southwestern apply to the M.A. program at CSUDH through normal application procedures during their first or second year of law school for admission following their first year of law study.
- Students do not initially have to elect/commit to either the NCRP degree or certificate track (admission to the M.A. degree program will suffice because students may elect to change their program at a later date).
- M.A. courses at CSUDH are all 3 units, 12 weeks online and 15 weeks duration on campus, and meet once weekly for 3 hours.
- NCRP degree/certificate courses at CSUDH can be taken on campus or entirely online (or through a combination of both methods of delivery).
- With some pre-designated exceptions, CSUDH online courses are asynchronous, on-demand video lectures; these sessions are archived and can be accessed and seen by students at any point prior to the next designated class session (one week).
- Students in online courses can text-message questions to faculty (during class lectures that are synchronous and later where delivery is asynchronous), e-mail each other and the instructor, and all classes (online and on-campus) feature student discussion boards as well as chat rooms and other similar online opportunities.
- Courses at Southwestern include two specific 3-unit courses (Alternative Dispute Resolution and Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiating) as well as unspecified 3-unit externship and directed research courses that will satisfy the 9-unit requirement for Southwestern courses.
- Students who receive their J.D. and M.A. degrees jointly will be recognized at both the Southwestern and CSUDH commencement ceremonies in a manner that will distinguish them for their significant accomplishment.
3+3 Program Overview
This 3+3 Program allows selected students at California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) to enter Southwestern after completing only three years of undergraduate study at CSUDH under very specific and strict conditions. Participants will earn both the B.A. and J.D. under the 6-year program. Requirements and components of the 3+3 Program include:
- Eligible CSUDH students must complete all general education and major requirements by the end of their junior year.
- Participants are able to earn no more than 70 units of lower division credit from an institution other than CSUDH - all upper division courses must be taken at CSUDH, making participation in this program more difficult for transfer students.
- Participants must be exceptional and highly-motivated students.
- Students must have strong analytical and writing skills.
- CSUDH participants must consult with the 3+3 Program Director as early as possible to ensure courses and sequencing are on-track.
- Participants must have their LSAT scores available by February of their junior year at CSUDH.
- Participants must apply to Southwestern no later than February of their junior year at CSUDH.
- Eligible students must have a minimum LSAT score of 154.
- Eligible students must have a minimum comprehensive UGPA of 3.6.
- Eligible CSUDH students must be recommended by the 3+3 Program Director, and then interviewed by Southwestern.
- Eligible students are not guaranteed admission to Southwestern.
- The first year of law school must be completed with a minimum "C+" cumulative GPA.
- Full credits required for graduation from CSUDH must be earned by the end of August following the first year of law school, or by the end of December following the first year of law school for students enrolled in Southwestern's evening program.
- If a first-year law student in this program withdraws, some academic credit for law school study may be accepted toward completion of the student's Bachelor's degree at the sole discretion of CSUDH.
- These conditions are modifiable as determined by CSUDH and Southwestern.

PORTLAND, Ore. - A career con man sought by Portland police has been arrested in California.
Police say 73-year-old Nickolas Kasemehas is in custody in Los Angeles County. Detectives are working to arrange his extradition back to Oregon to face charges.
Kasemehas was wanted for allegedly conning people in the Salem area. He'd also been seen in the Portland area. Many of his cons involved schemes around gold, jewelry and loans, according to police.
Kasemehas' criminal history includes cons in San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Seattle, Portland and many other small cites, police said. He'd been conning people around the country since 1962.

Touch Screen Viewable in Direct Sunlight
Seeing images on any type of screen (video monitor, cell phone, laptop) can be very difficult, or impossible, in daylight or direct sunlight. Their screens are simply not bright enough. The newest member of the rugged TRU-Tuff Series monitors, the SRMTR-10.4V Sunlight Readable touch screen from TRU-Vu Monitors, features a 1,000 nits brightness screen.
This is 4 to 5 times brighter than standard monitors, and enables you to see clear, sharp, vivid color images, even with bright sunlight falling directly onto the screen. The SRMTR-10.4 offers a 5-wire resistive touch screen, 800 x 600 resolution and VGA input in a rugged, powder-coated steel enclosure. It also features exclusive TRU-Tuff treatment for maximum shock and vibration resistance.
It can be powered by 12 VDC or 90-240 VAC, and is backed by a full 3-Year Warranty. TRU-Tuff Series monitors have been successfully deployed in a wide range of industrial, military and commercial applications including inspection systems, monitoring systems, navigation and guidance systems, vehicles, helicopters, offshore drilling rigs and more.

LeMahieu sent to Minor League camp
PHOENIX -- The Rockies continued to trim the big league roster in preparation for their season opener on Monday against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
Before Wednesday's game against the A's, the Rockies sent infielder DJ LeMahieu to Minor League camp, leaving 31 players with the big club, a number that still includes six non-roster players.
The Rockies are still making final decisions on at least one bullpen spot and a utility player.
This spring, LeMahieu batted .231 (9-for-39) with two doubles, a triple, four RBIs and seven runs scored in 19 games. Last year, he split the season with the Rockies and Triple-A Colorado Springs. In the Majors, LeMahieu batted .297 in 82 games, playing mostly at second base.
