What Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a condition that causes a person to experience uncomfortable gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms on a regular basis. These include:
- stomach cramping
- pain
- diarrhea
- constipation
- gas
The difference between IBS and other conditions that cause similar symptoms — such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease — is that IBS doesn't damage the large intestine.

Symptoms for the condition can range from mild to severe. Because they impact a person's digestive capabilities, the condition can also result in weight loss or gain. However, there are steps you can take to maintain a healthy weight and live well with IBS.
IBS and Weight
How Does IBS Impact Your Weight?
According to the , IBS is one of the most common disorders that affect the functioning of the GI system. As much as of adults in the United States have reported symptoms that are synonymous with IBS.
The exact causes of IBS are unknown, but there are a few physical and psychological causes that are known to worsen symptoms. For example, some people with IBS experience increased bouts of diarrhea because their intestines seem to move food through faster than normally. In others, their IBS symptoms are associated with constipation due to a gut that moves more slowly than normal.
IBS doesn't affect every person's weight, but it can result in weight loss or gain in some people. For example, some people may experience significant abdominal cramping and pain that may cause them to eat fewer calories than they normally would. Rapid stomach emptying that causes a person to experience significant diarrhea could also impact a person's ability to absorb key nutrients, leading to weight loss.
In some instances, IBS can lead to weight gain. This is because on days you feel better, you may try to eat to compensate for missed calories. Some people also choose a lower residue diet that tends to be higher in calories in an attempt to avoid uncomfortable symptoms.
You may not always be able to control your symptoms when you have IBS, but there are some ways you can maintain a healthy weight and eat a healthy diet that includes fiber.
Diet Recommendations
IBS and Diet
A diet that involves eating several small meals is recommended over eating large meals when you have IBS. In addition to this rule of thumb, a diet low in fat and high in whole grain carbohydrates can also benefit you when you have IBS.
Many IBS sufferers are hesitant to eat foods that have fiber for fear they'll cause gas that worsens symptoms. You don't have to avoid fiber. However, you should slowly add fiber to your diet, which can reduce the likelihood you'll have gas and bloating. Aim to add between per day and drink plenty of water along with the added fiber to minimize symptoms. An ideal amount of fiber for adults is between per day.
You should also avoid foods that are known to worsen IBS — that also tend to result in weight gain. These include:
- alcoholic beverages
- caffeinated beverages
- drinks with significant amounts of artificial sweeteners
- foods known to cause gas, such as beans and cabbages
- high-fat foods
- whole milk products
Your doctor may also recommend keeping a journal of foods you eat to see if you can identify foods that tend to worsen your symptoms.
FODMAP Diet
The FODMAP Diet for IBS
Another option for those looking to maintain a healthy weight and minimize IBS symptoms is the FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligo-di-monosaccharides and polyols. These are sugars found in foods that tend to worsen symptoms in people with IBS.
The diet involves limiting foods that are high in FODMAPs, including:
- fructans
- fructose
- galactans
- lactose
- polyols
Reading food labels carefully and avoiding these additives can help you reduce the likelihood that you'll experience stomach symptoms related to IBS.
Examples of FODMAP-friendly foods that can reduce IBS symptoms include:
- fruits, including bananas, blueberries, grapes, oranges, pineapples, and strawberries
- lactose-free dairy
- meats, including chicken, eggs, fish, pork, and turkey
- vegetables, including carrots, cucumbers, green beans, lettuce, kale, potatoes, squash, and tomatoes
Those on a FODMAP diet may eliminate some foods and slowly add them back in to determine what foods can be safely eaten.
Weight loss or gain can be a side effect of IBS. However, there are diet approaches that can help you reduce your symptoms while maintaining a healthy weight. If a dietary approach doesn't help your symptoms, talk to your doctor about other potential causes of your weight loss or gain.

Superman's Getting a Brand New Secret Identity
For over 70 years, Superman has hidden behind a single secret identity: Clark Kent. But now that the comics have re-exposed Clark Kent to the DC universe, the Man of Steel needs a new alter-ego. And so, for the first time in his history, Superman has a new secret persona.

Mark Weaver walked in the door at 3 p.m. that day.
"You're home early," observed his wife, Andrea. "That's weird."
He brushed it off at first. He didn't want to scare the kids, plus, how do you find the words? He got through dinner, and put the kids to bed.
Then he went into the bedroom of their spacious Tarpon Springs house and sat beside his wife to watch the news.
He almost never did that.
"So," he said. "About being home early. …"
Laid off. The two words didn't come easy.
Andrea's mouth went slack. Her husband had the marketing job at Raymond James for 12 years. She is a high school teacher. What about the kids? The mortgage? What would Christmas look like?
Mark Weaver, 39, had severance, savings and a choice. He could re-enter the corporate world, a place that felt like swimming through molasses even before the ax fell.
"You can work long hours, you can work hard, but at the end of the day you're getting the same paycheck and there's no job security," he said.
Or he could take a gamble on something else.
• • •
Let's be clear. Getting laid off is not a wistful, dreamy thing. It's terrible. It takes away livelihood and self-esteem and sometimes, food on the table.
Florida unemployment is at 11 percent, the highest in at least 10 years. The job market is just as bleak. So what happens when you become one of the statistics?
You have free time. Free time creates chances.
Some people, like Mark Weaver, take them.
Instead of donning a suit and a tie, he now puts on khaki shorts and a bright blue polo and drives to a 9,800-square-foot building on Race Track Road in Tampa called Jump!Zone. He flips on a blower and brings to life a giant Batman and a SpongeBob Squarepants and a pirate ship 40 feet long. He throws birthday parties for kids who squeal with glee when he opens double doors to reveal his puffy playland.
"I've always wanted to have my own business," Weaver said. "It's something I've wanted ever since I was in college."
Losing his job gave him more time with his kids. They inspired him to think about a business for children.
The family got a small business loan, then lost it when the bank got nervous. With savings and credit cards, they moved forward. Andrea Weaver, 38, kept her job as an English teacher at Palm Harbor University High School but spent her nights at Jump!Zone. The kids practically lived there, too.
They opened three months ago. Business has been slow but steadily growing. They hope to be out of the red next year.
"If it's something you want to do," said Andrea, "you make it work."
But how do you chase a dream and still pay for health care? If you're single and don't have savings like the Weavers, how do you survive?
Sara Buckley taught music at Clearwater's Kings Highway Elementary on a temporary contract when it ran out during a district hiring freeze.
She found herself unemployed, uninsured, and unable to pay for MRIs on a benign liver tumor that doctors wanted to watch. She moved out of her apartment and into a Tarpon Springs condominium with a friend.
She cobbles together about $15,000 a year teaching voice lessons around the Tampa Bay area, much less than her former $40,000 salary.
It's the tightest things have ever been.
But here's the twist.
"I've never been so happy," she said.
Using student loans, Buckley, 38, enrolled in graduate school at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. She hopes to graduate in 2011 and become a journalist.
"Basically, I've just embraced this as an opportunity. I won't say I'm more serious, because I'm always playful about life, but I think I'm driven. I'm excited to add more skills to my life. I'm adding to my life, instead of just. ...''
She paused.
"I embraced hope."

Joe Sale was an account executive at Robert Half Technology, where he wore a tie to work. It kept flopping around, getting in his coffee.
In his free time, he invented a tie that attached to shirt buttons with space to store business cards and an iPod in the back. He showed it off around the office. People were impressed.
In 2008, his job was cut. He immediately went to a patent attorney.
The iTie was born.
"Sometimes times are tough," he said. "But other times, it leads to bigger opportunities."
Sale, 32, single and living near Westchase, appeared on the television show Pitchmen starring Anthony Sullivan and the late Billy Mays. The iTie wasn't right for the show, but the stars liked it so much they taped a free commercial for Sale. It's still on his Web site.
The iTies range from $20 to $80. He said he sells enough to match his old salary of $60,000 with commission. He hopes to work with Home Shopping Network and get a licensing agreement with a large manufacturer. He has some new product ideas, too.
Still, he'd take a job if one came along.
"My intention was to find another job full time," he said. "That certainly didn't happen. I still continually look for something, another opportunity where I can still do the iTie, but it's just the way the market is."
Mike Mayo of Wesley Chapel didn't even want to try. He was laid off as an account manager with Green Mountain Coffee in May.
"It was kind of like, what now?" he said. "I'm 53. Going back into the workplace and trying to compete with these young kids would be so tough."
Instead, he and his wife used savings to start Golden Vision Photography, taking professional photos of people's pets and animal events in the area. Their golden retriever, Lexi, is the company mascot, modeling pensively on a length of silver taffeta on their Web site.
In July, Mayo won the 2009 Tampa Bay Small Business Jumpstart contest. He received $26,000 in business tools, like accounting, marketing, printing and phone answering services.
"I feel great, actually," he said. "I know the business is going to work, and being able to do something that you really enjoy, being around pets all day and being able to work with people who love their pets, it's great. No matter what job you have, there are certain things you don't like. But in this one, I haven't found it yet."

Jump!Zone demands long, taxing hours from Mark Weaver. His weekends are history. Money is tight.
Last week, he took his son to a doctor near Raymond James for an outpatient procedure. He ran over to the Publix where he used to get sandwiches on his lunch break. He saw a line of guys waiting for subs, plastic company badges hanging from their belts. That used to be me, he thought.
"Even though the hours are long and stressful, that's when it dawned on me," he said. "It's where I need to be."
He felt free.

By Chris Casey | University Communications
DENVER—Chris Dowen, assistant vice chancellor of undergraduate admissions and K-12 outreach, describes admissions work at the university as an evolving journey.
"That's the mode we're in—continuous improvement," said Dowen, who started at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus a year ago. "I think our office is right there in the midst of that. We embrace creativity and a culture of improvement. The key is to find people who thrive in that environment."
Likewise keeping that mindset in all her endeavors is Catherine Wilson, associate director of K-12 outreach, who came to the Office of Admissions last summer after many years as a high school English teacher.
Dowen and Wilson chatted with Today about some of the initiatives launched in the past year and how "the numbers are very encouraging" for CU Denver undergraduate admissions next fall.
Some highlights:
- 10,000 new outreach contacts with students, families, teachers since July. This is above and beyond the usual population reached.
- New, more interactive campus tour formats.
- Newspapers in Education involvement. CU Denver-branded lesson plans have been downloaded 2,000 times through NIE partnership.
- History Day Colorado. CU Denver hosted the metro event in March and will host a state event in May.
- Preview CU Denver days targeting first-time freshmen, transfers and high school juniors.
- Innovations in Education events, which are free and offer teachers timely information about instruction and the opportunity to use CU Denver resources to advance their professional development.
Improving Student Success:
Over the next several months, Today will feature a series of stories about ongoing efforts in the Student Affairs Division to improve student success at CU Denver. The initiatives are focal points of Chancellor Don Elliman's State of the Campus address.
The Office of Admissions blends event-type outreach with long-term relationship building in school districts across the state to create a holistic approach to student recruitment. When word circulated about a STRIVE Preparatory School student announcing his dream of studying in CU Denver's College of Architecture and Planning, the Office of Admissions deployed Milo and a swag bag to the boy. "It turned into a great Q&A session at the school where Milo's handler talked about our BA/BS-MD program and other great programs at CU Denver," Wilson said. "Here we were doing something amazing for this one student and we had a captive audience of 90 students."
Dowen noted that our K-12 outreach works to build relationships at even lower grades—typical university recruiters target only high school students—"so we can leverage something like a student visit and get in front of the whole school."
Fantastic outreach is occurring all the time at both the CU Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus, Dowen said. "We're working to maximize that," he said. "At the end of the day, we'll bring those efforts back to the Admissions Office so we can build a longer-term relationship with these folks, include them in our database, and have a sustainable connection with them."
Wilson added, "We want seamless handoffs to programs, and more positive experiences for prospective students."
As a case in point, where it used to take prospective students 14 clicks online to sign up for a campus tour, Digital Marketing Manager Chad Reiling streamlined it and it now takes only three clicks. And the new, revamped tours are much more productive and interactive for students and their families.
"Campus Tour Coordinator Mary Francavilla reconfigured our tour to make it less about passing through and seeing buildings, to a tour that really engages people with the experience of being a CU Denver student," Wilson said. The tours now start at the Tivoli, the vibrant center of campus, and wind through North Classroom and the Science Building before crossing Speer Boulevard and following the CU Denver neighborhood into the heart of the city: the College of Architecture and Planning, Lawrence Street Center, the new Business School and, finally, Larimer Square and the Admissions Office.
Admissions reached out to the schools and colleges to ensure that the student ambassadors leading the tours convey the right messages about key programs to campus visitors.
"We're also affording people a chance to meet individually with Admissions staff members after the tours," Dowen said. "Ultimately, when the student is on their way home with a parent, or uncle, or other influencer we want them to say, 'Wow, that really resonated with me and I'd be nuts not to consider CU Denver because it was so memorable.' We're trying to make it as special and memorable as possible, particularly by embracing the city as our campus. It takes more effort but it's worth it."
The culture of improvement extends to helping teachers be their best. Between the School of Education and Human Development's expertise and the Office of Admissions deep connections to school districts statewide, Dowen envisions CU Denver as being the leader in the conversation about improving education. "I look for us in the next year to really laser in on how we can help teachers be more successful in new and innovative ways across Colorado," he said. "That will be good for everyone—the teachers, the students, CU Denver. It will be a win-win for everyone."
Another initiative is to smooth the experience for transfer students who are considering CU Denver. A Transfer Resource Services center has been set up conjunction with the Lynx Center to be a place where transfer students can get all their questions answered. "Transfer students usually care about two things—how my courses I've already taken are going to transfer, and how do I connect with an advisor?" Dowen said. "We've created and enhanced services that address both of those touch points for transfers."
This summer, the Office of Admissions and the Lynx Center will benefit from being moved to the first floor—the front porch, if you will—of the new Academic Building at Speer Boulevard and Larimer Street. For both current and prospective students, Dowen noted, the new building will provide one-stop shopping for student services, including student affairs, admissions, disability and financial services.
While the journey is important and the improvements are many—this article touched on just a few—the destination is of import as well. In this case, the numbers of new students for next fall are pointing in the right direction.
"We've certainly seen a significant increase in applications, both at the freshman and transfer levels," Dowen said. "We (in the Office of Admissions) are not responsible for all that. It's the full campus, it's our academic reputation, our Learn With Purpose campaign—it's all sorts of things that faculty and staff are contributing. It's a big tent, no question."

Cardamon Cinnamon from Republic of Tea
Yes, it is sort of cutesy that they have called this cardaMON to go with cinnaMON, instead of just using the name of the spice, cardamoM. But, cardamom is quite possibly my favorite spice in the whole world, so I am willing to forgive a bit of cutesiness.
What we get here is a nice blend of chai spices with a bit extra – a bit of carob and chicory are added, along with the usual chai spices. There are no tea leaves, not even Rooibos or other herbal "tea" bases – just spices! Which means that it's caffeine-free, and that you can taste every bit of the spice without any distractions from, say, the slightly spicy flavor that red rooibos has.
The tea doesn't have much body, but it's warming nonetheless. The brew is fairly pale in color, but gets a little darker if you steep it longer – and since it's purely herbal, you can steep it longer, without any worries about bitterness, too much caffeine, and so on.
Because this is in paper tea bags – round, tagless – it's easy to brew – and also easy to use a bag as additional flavoring by adding a bag of this to a pot of otherwise plain Black Tea, or to the milk one is heating for hot cocoa, or to other things that are being steeped. It's also easy to use this brewed up instead of plain water if you are making scones from a mix that calls for adding water – it adds a subtle but definite depth to the taste of the scones! Try a bag in your water for rice, as well – instant flavored rice to serve with your ethnic recipes!
Republic of Tea says about this tea:
Warm the Heart Herb Tea – Native to the shadier regions of India & Ceylon, cardamom has a gentle, airy taste of the forest itself – reminiscent of ginger with a pinch of pine. Cinnamon brings a spicy depth. Also, great over ice!
Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, carob, chicory, black pepper, Chinese star anise, cloves and cassia oil
Sometimes Republic of Tea thinks a little highly of themselves. But their nice canisters keep the tea fresher than a box does, and there are 36 bags to the canister, rather than the 18-20 in most boxes of supermarket brands – AND, of course, there's second steepings to reduce the cost per cup. Use slightly less than boiling water, rather than boiling, and you can still get flavor out of a second steeping. Alternatively, use this to make a 12-16 ounce mug of tea, rather than a six-ounce cup; just let it steep longer!

The research activity at the chair "Molecular Materials" at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is oriented towards the
design of functional nanosystems by state-of-the-art organic/inorganic synthesis and supramolecular self-assembly techniques.
The observed long spin coherence life times concomitant with low-invasively electronic addressing, read out, and manipulation allow for the integration of magnetic molecules into electronic circuits and for the implementation of a quantum algorithms. Thus, metal complexes molecules show the potential to set the stage, in near future, to the novel class of quantum bits, the Molecular Spin QuBits.
The vision of the research group is to develop new concepts and advance research tools to master the design and the characterisation of molecular structures as well as their implementation and integration within the nanometer-regime. Towards this end, the group is highly integrated into several interdisciplinary collaborations and is directing several interdisciplinary European network projects
Breakthrough experiments have been carried out by the group targeting the self-assembly of spintronic devices. Supramolecular techniques were used to position magnetic molecules in defined device environments where single-spin addressing leads to the observation of magnetoresistive effects. The demonstrated possibility of manipulating spins at the single molecule limit opens a completely new world to Supramolecular Spintronic Devices, where memory, logic and possibly quantum logic may be integrated.
Molecules can be considered as physical Quantum Objects. The use of molecular materials represents the advantage that the active quantum processing elements consist of an atomic core of one-to-few open spin ions surrounded by a shell of organic material. At low temperature such molecular spin objects behave as simple, few-level systems and their spin degree of freedom can be sufficiently decoupled from the environment to achieve long decoherence times and making them to ideal candidates for the implementation of qubits. Since quantum coherence and stable entanglement of electron spins are extremely difficult to achieve, alternative concepts propose the use of nuclear spins (embedded in a controlled organic environment) as quantum information carrier. Nuclear spins are extremely well isolated from environment and less prone to decoherence, and the coherent manipulation can be adapted by tailoring the molecular environment. However, although being well isolated from their surroundings, nuclear spins have to be addressed, ideally electronically since complementary with existing technologies. The delicate balance between decoupling of the quantum object for stable coherence and connecting it for read out can be carried out by synthetic engineering of the molecular components. The first example of such successful realization of Molecular Quantum Spintronics, the completely electronic read out of a nuclear spin of a lanthanide ion (bearing electron and nuclear spins) embedded in a molecule (TbPc2), was recently reported in Nature. Herre van der Zant presented this article in the news and views section in Nature Nanotech.

West Yorkshire M62 hen party crash victims 'critical'
Tributes have been paid to a woman who died when the minibus she was on with 20 other hen party guests crashed on the M62 motorway.
Police say eight women remain at two hospitals after the bus was in collision with a lorry near junction 32 at Castleford, on Friday while en route to Liverpool.
Bethany Jones, 18, of Pontefract, died in the crash.
Ms Jones's family said she was "caring and considerate to everyone she met."
West Yorkshire Police said the lorry driver, arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving, has been bailed. The accident happened as the party travelled to Liverpool.
Earlier reports that bride-to-be Stefanie Firth, 24, from South Elmsall, was in intensive care, have not been confirmed.
'Horrendous' injuries
In a statement released through West Yorkshire Police, Ms Jones's family said: "Beth was a fun and bubbly girl who was caring and considerate to everyone she met.
"She was the apple of her granddad's eye and she will never be forgotten and sadly missed by everyone."
Seven of the women still receiving treatment are in a stable condition at Leeds General Infirmary, after three spent the night in intensive care.
One of the victims is being treated at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.
Brian Capstick, councillor for South Elmsall, said the community was "completely stunned" by the crash.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a very tragic accident.
"It's affected a lot of lives; what you've got to appreciate is it's a very close knit ex-mining community. A lot of the young girls that were involved and the mothers who where involved with them, are all inter-related.
"It's a tragic, horrendous accident for the whole of the community."
Mr Capstick also said he had spoken to friends and relatives of the women, who have visited their loved ones in hospital.
"Some of the injuries are absolutely horrendous. It really is tragic, it's dawning on people locally what the effect will be."
'Effectively gridlocked'
Crews from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said it was the worst crash they had seen in years.
Staff from five stations attended the scene and found the minibus, which had set off from South Elmsall, on its side.
Patients were treated at the scene before being taken to hospitals including Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield and Leeds General Infirmary.
At one stage six air ambulance were involved in dealing with casualties at the scene.
One motorist, Pritpal Singh, 28, from Leeds, saw the immediate aftermath of the accident.
"I was going in the same direction as the accident, the westbound carriageway. It was effectively gridlocked from 11.30am onwards.
"By noon everyone had shut off their engines and started walking around on the road.
"I was about a third of a mile back from where the accident was, I got out and walked up to the scene."

Learning Camp operators closing their gates
October 31, 2013
Almost two decades of summer camp is enough, say the operators of the Learning Camp.
Ann Cathcart and Tom Macht, operators of the Learning Camp in Gypsum, are retiring after 17 years running the summer residential camp that served children with learning differences. The last session of the camp ended in August.
They're not out of the business, though. In conjunction with the camp, they've been running after-school programs at Eagle Valley Elementary School and Brush Creek Elementary School for nine years. They were invited earlier this year to add Red Hill Elementary in Gypsum, Cathcart said.
So they did.
Why they did it is not complicated, Cathcart said. Parents need the service.
"This was me when I was that age, like so many people in this community. I was one of the people who needed after-school care," Cathcart said.

She says they'll miss the camp, but it's time to do something else.
"It has been our privilege to serve different learners for nearly 20 years," Cathcart said.
She said their campers show them every day how smart they are.
"We will miss them, but know they will run our world one day," Cathcart said.
The Learning Camp was one of the first summer programs to combine traditional summer camp with academics for boys and girls ages 7-14.
They started in 1996 as a day-camp program run out of Edwards Elementary School. A move to McCoy the following year expanded their offerings into a residential camp on the edge of the Colorado River.
In five years, the camp had grown and they bought 36 acres at the top of Spring Creek Road in Gypsum. A commercial lodge, bathhouses, yurt lodging units and the Ristow Pavilion where built around the horse pastures and pond tucked under BLM lands.
In those nine years, the Learning Camp served more than 3,000 campers, including local children and children from China, Saudi Arabia, England, Mexico, Turkey, the Dominican Republic, Russia and Switzerland.
"The Learning Camp has been a wonderful chapter in our lives," Cathcart said. "This land, and our facilities, are perfect for living an adventure, and we hope that it can remain a place for children to run and play and grow."
Macht said he's proud of the work he and Cathcart and the Learning Camp staff did.
"Many of the teachers and staff we recruited, who helped develop our curriculum, have now made Eagle County and Colorado home after spending their summers with us," Macht said.
Cathcart and Macht say they plan to sell the 24-acre camp property and focus on the Learning Camp after-school program.

Welsh Wins First Canadian Superbike Of His Career, At Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
© 2017, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a
press release
issued by Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship
Welsh wins wild finale at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
BOWMANVILLE, Ont. (August 26, 2012) Alex Welsh scored his first career national Superbike win in spectacular fashion in the final round of the Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on Sunday.
The Uxbridge, Ont. rider slid underneath the battling duo of Jordan Szoke and Kevin Lacombe in the last corner to snatch the win by 0.384 secs. on his AW7R / Kenwood Electronics Canada Suzuki GSX-R1000.
Szoke placed second on the Waznie Racing / Parts Canada / BMW Motorrad Canada BMW S1000RR while Lacombe crossed the line third riding the Team Couturier Racing BMW S1000RR.
"I tried to get them going up the last straight but I didn't quite get the drive I wanted," Welsh said. "But I was able to pick up the scraps. It's good to finish off the year this way. I always seem to go well here."
Welsh completed the 20-lap distance around the 3.9km (2.459-mile) track in 27 minutes, 32.156 seconds for an average speed of 169.447km/h (106.838 mph).
Welsh made an impressive climb from eighth on the starting grid to move up to third spot by the end of lap four and the second half of the race settled into a battle between Szoke, Lacombe and Welsh.
Lacombe started the final lap leading Szoke and Welsh. Szoke snuck ahead in turn two only to have Lacombe repay the favour in turn three of the 10-turn track. In the turn nine left-hander Szoke got inside the St-Cesaire, Que. rider but Lacombe hung alongside as they approached the turn 10 right-hander. The two made contact and ran wide, leaving the inside open for Welsh to sneak through for the win.
"Jordan and Kevin didn't quite gap me in the early laps and that allowed me to save my tires and myself for the end," explained Welsh, who moved up to fourth in the final Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship standings with 187 points. "I wasn't really close until the last lap, when I made sure I was close through turn three and turn five. We made a gearing change last night so I would have something at the end of the backstraight but I guess we went a little too tall.
"Jordan and Kevin were both riding pretty aggressive. I knew Kevin would try something and I guess I was a little lucky."
Szoke had clinched his eighth national Superbike title with a second place finish in Saturday's race and was going for his 11th victory at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
"I couldn't get by Kevin on the back straight but I was faster coming out of turn eight so I thought I could get him in nine," said Szoke, who failed to win a race at CTMP for the first time since 2007. "That all went as planned but then Alex came by and ruined the party.
"Coming out of here without a win is pretty heartbreaking, but we did the big job by getting the championship yesterday."
Szoke's Waznie Racing crew also picked up the Inside Motorcycles Team of the Year Award.
Lacombe was later disqualified for using illegal fuel, which bumped Warman, Sask.'s Bodhi Edie up to third place in the official results. The rider of the Edie Racing / Blue Streak / Fast Company BMW S1000RR was involved in a four-rider scrap down to the wire with Andrew Nelson, Matt McBride and Sebastien Tremblay.
"Andrew and I were very well matched and we were really going at it over the first half of the race," Edie said after his first Pro Superbike podium finish. "I had some issues with the front end going into turn one but I was comfortable coming out of Moss's Corner onto the backstraight; I got good drives out of there."
Nelson was officially fourth on the Nelson Racing / Endras Motorrad / mcn.tv BMW S1000RR while Mississauga, Ont. rider McBride took fifth aboard the Riders Choice BMW S1000RR.
Nelson's result combined with Lacombe's exclusion lifted the Kars, Ont. rider into second in the final Mopar Canadian Superbike standings with 204 points to Lacombe's 193. Szoke finished the year with 294 points.
After running with the lead group in fourth spot for the first half of the race Longueuil, Que.'s Tremblay slipped down the order to a sixth place finish on his MotoNation BMW S1000RR, although he ended the year as the top rookie Pro point scorer for the season.
Francois Dumas of St-Raymond, Que. ran a lonely race to seventh on the Team Dumas Superbike / boulangeriedumas.com BMW S1000RR, while Marcel Irnie of Kelowna, B.C. made a late-race pass of Sylvain Dery to claim eighth on the Irnie Racing / Amsoil BMW S1000RR.

Mike Bevan of Amhertsburg, Ont. rounded out the top 10 on another Kawasaki ZX-10R.
Keene, Ont.'s Jodi Christie ran fourth in the early laps on his Jodi Christie Racing / Accelerated Technologies Honda CBR1000RR but suffered a crash in turn five on lap three. He was not hurt in the incident.
A day after clinching his second straight K&N Performance Filters Pro Sport Bike title, Christie ran away with the season finale at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. The Keene, Ont. racer grabbed the lead off the start on his Honda CBR600RR and was never challenged en route to his fifth win in six races this season.
Raphael Archambault of Terrebonne, Que. finished second on his Team Archambault Racing / Picotte Motorsport / G Suspension Suzuki GSX-R600 after a racelong battle with the Acme Slate Suzuki GSX-R600 of Frank Trombino and Michael Leon on the Royal Distributing / Elka Suspension Honda CBR600RR. Trombino claimed third, which secured second in the final point standings for the Kleinburg, Ont. racer, while Leon crashed on the final lap, without injury.
Steve Crevier outdueled Michael Barnes for the victory in the final round of the Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada XR1200 Cup. Riding for the MotoSport Plus / Dominion Lending team, the Maple Ridge, B.C. veteran finished 0.909 secs. ahead of Boca Raton, Fla.'s Barnes, riding for the Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada / Ruthless Racing team.
John Ross MacRae of Calgary, on another of the Ruthless Racing entries, placed third after passing the Mackie Harley-Davidson XR1200 of Toronto's Michael Taylor on the final lap.
Crevier had clinched his second straight series title on Saturday.
A third place finish was enough to give Mississauga, Ont.'s Trevor Daley the Bazzaz Amateur Superbike title on the OneSpeed / Riders Choice / ProStar Motorsports Honda CBR600RR at CTMP on Sunday.
Tim Robinson of Gatineau, Que. ran away to his third straight Amateur Superbike win on the Robinson Racing / Gym-Max BMW S1000RR, finishing 23.299 secs. clear of the racingphil.com / Pete's Superbike Kawasaki ZX-6R of Philippe Masse.
Daley ended the year with 260 points to Masse's 223 and picked up a $20,000 Jeep Off Road Trailer from series title sponsor Mopar for his achievement.
Robinson received the $1,000 DUA Motorsport contingency payback as well as a prize pack from Mopar.
Newly-crowned Inside Motorcycles Amateur Sport Bike champion Masse scored his second straight win on the Kawasaki ZX-6R. The St-Hyacinthe, Que. racer finished 16.211 secs. ahead of the Hornblower Racing / Blue Streak / ProPulsion Yamaha YZF-R6 of Sarnia, Ont.'s Will Hornblower, while Newcastle, Ont.'s Nuno Almeida claimed third aboard the Noodles Racing / GP Bikes / Eurocorsa Triumph 675.
Hornblower was named the Performance Under Gear Performer of the Race.
Daley spent much of the race running right behind Masse on the Honda CBR600RR but crashed in the final corner. The Mississauga, Ont. racer was able to remount and salvage fifth spot.
Stacey Nesbitt wrapped up the Honda CBR250R National Race Series title with a second place finish at CTMP on Sunday. The St-Lazare, Que. rider ended the year with 448 points to the 425 of Pickering, Ont.'s Ryan Roche, who took fourth in the season finale.
Peterborough, Ont.'s Tomas Casas claimed his fourth straight win for the Peterborough Cycle Salvage team, finishing 7.408 secs. ahead of Nesbitt, who won a battle with Oakville, Ont.'s Cameron Walker for the runner-up spot.
Laval, Que.'s Pascal Bastien of Moto 123 also repeated as winner of the Media Challenge division in the CBR250R series. Montreal's Costa Mouzouris, riding for CMG Online, clinched the Media title on Saturday.
The race was stopped on the opening lap after a three-rider crash in turn nine that sent Calgary's Sean Smith to hospital with undisclosed injuries, although he was conscious and communicating with rescue personnel.
Since 2006 Pirelli has been the spec tire supplier to the Mopar Canadian Superbike Championship. The series has been used as a development platform for the company's products, and competitors in the K&N Performance Filter Pro Sport Bike, Deeley Harley-Davidson Canada XR1200 Cup, and Inside Motorcycles Amateur Sport Bike classes run on the same Diablo Super Corsa DOT racing tires used in the World Supersport Championship.
Pirelli is currently developing 17-inch slick tires for use in the World Superbike Championship in 2013, and these will also make their way to the Canadian Championship in the future.

Celebration Theatre Presents WOMEN BEHIND BARS, Previews 11/11, 11/12
Celebration Theatre in association with David Elzer presents the third show of their 2009-2010 season, the hilarious WOMEN BEHIND BARS. WOMEN BEHIND BARS is written by Tom Eyen and will be directed by Kurt Koehler. WOMEN BEHIND BARS will preview on Wednesday, November 11 and Thursday, November 12 at 8pm and will open on Friday, November 13 and run through Sunday, December 20 at Celebration Theatre, 7051B Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood.
In this hilarious send-up of women in prison 'B' movies of the 50's, Sweet Mary Eleanor-framed for a crime she didn't commit-lands in the Greenwich Village Women's House of Detention. Presided over by a sadistic prison matron with a taste for female flesh, Mary Eleanor enters this multicultural den of vice and ends up hardened and cynical before her time....just like in the movies. West Hollywood's Momma takes on the role of the evil Matron with a taste for female flesh, a role originally played by Divine. Women Behind Bars played sold out audiences in both New York in the 70's and in Ron Link's classic Los Angeles production at the Roxy in the 80s with Lu Leonard as the Matron.
KURT KOEHLER (Director) started his directing debut in LA with the acclaimed 1998 revival of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. He has directed and co-written four full-length stage plays of Chico's Angels. This Latin spoof of Charlie's Angels has played to sold out houses for the last six years and has toured to San Diego and Las Vegas. His films include Superfag, Hung Frankenstein, Taco Chick and Salsa Girl, The Incredible Dyke and now the web series of "Chico's Angels," due to premiere sometime this year. He has appeared in the motion pictures "A River Made To Drown In," "Pretty Woman," and "Twilight Of The Golds," and recently lent his voIce To the Oscar winning "Shrek".
Tom Eyen (Playwright) Mr. Eyen was a Tony Award and Grammy Award winning American playwright, lyricist, television writer and theatre director. He is best known for works at opposite ends of the theatrical spectrum. Mainstream theatergoers became acquainted with him in 1981 when he partnered with composer Henry Krieger and director Michael Bennett to write the book and lyrics for Dreamgirls, the hit Broadway musical about an African American female singing trio. Mr Eyen's career started, however, with avant garde plays and musicals that he wrote and directed off-off Broadway in the early 1960s, which eventually led to off-Broadway success in the 1970s with the controversial nudity-filled performance-art play The Dirtiest Show in Town and Women Behind Bars. Tom Eyen passed away at the age of 50 on May 26, 1991.
The cast of WOMEN BEHIND BARS includes: Momma, Kimberly Lewis, Dudley Beene , Pip Lilly, Mary K. Devault, Randi Pareira, Tara Karsian, Marianne M. Arreaga Arianna Ortiz, Jessica Goldapple, and Ted Monte.
WOMEN BEHIND BARS is produced by Michael A. Shepperd and John Michael Beck in association with David Elzer. Associate Producer is Michael Rohla. The scenic design is by Kurt Boetcher, the lighting design is by Matthew Denman, costume design is by Michael Mullen and the sound design is by Veronica Lancaster. The show is Stage Managed by Mercedes Clanton. Celebration Theatre's Artistic Director is Michael A. Shepperd, Managing Director is Michael Kricfalusi.
WOMEN BEHIND BARS will preview on Wednesday, November 11 and Thursday, November 12 and will open on Friday, November 13 and run through Sunday, December 20. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sunday matinees at 3pm. Ticket prices are $25.00 for all performances.

What do you shoot in your K98?
December 29, 2009, 02:09 PM
I've shot both Privi and Remington Core-Lokt. I liked the Remington better than the Privi. I'm looking at some boxes of Wolf Gold; is that stuff any good?
December 29, 2009, 02:31 PM
From what Ive heard Wolf Gold is exactly the same as the Privi ammo.Im pretty sure it also has the same NNY headstamp.
December 29, 2009, 03:48 PM
I still have a few hundred rounds of S&B lying around before I have to think about re-stocking. I'd probably go with Prvi if I had to right now.
December 29, 2009, 11:31 PM
Yeah, the Remy recoils much less and is more pleasurable to shoot :D
However, I shoot romanian light (154 grain) ball out of mine 24/47, and it loves it. I've had some 2 moa groups (5 rounds for all of the group nazis out there) @ 100 yards with the iron sights. Granted, most of them are a little over 3, but I think that's more my eyes and the rather crude blade and triangle sight than it is the ammo. That stuff kicks though... and it's not even one of the hotter loads. I've thought of getting some PRVI. I would try the remy, but it's too darn expensive and drops off of a cliff past 300 yards.
December 30, 2009, 10:52 AM
My own reloads, of course! I found that my K98 prefers the heavier bullets, 196 grains and up. I also found that converting 30.06 cases to 8mm is pretty easy. And I can pick up all the 30.06 empties I want at my range for free, but 8mm is harder to find. I don't have a 30.06 so I can't mix up the cases.
December 30, 2009, 01:41 PM
The box on my Wolf Gold says that the ammo was made in Serbia. Yes, it does have the nny headstamp. It appears to be decent ammo and priced better than anything else I can find in new production.

Although I won't pursue my first Mauser for at least several months, about what is the lowest price now for pulled 8mm bullets etc?
December 30, 2009, 11:07 PM
18-20 bucks.
December 30, 2009, 11:14 PM
Turkish 150gr surplus, its hot, probably machine gun ammo but my M48 likes it
January 2, 2010, 08:19 PM
Although I won't pursue my first Mauser for at least several months, about what is the lowest price now for pulled 8mm bullets etc?
Pulled? Don't know I've ever seen pulled 8mm bullets for sale. I got 2000 pulled 147 grain .311" FMJBT's for 152 bucks shipped, though. Use them for my .303 Brit and 7.62X54R.

January 2, 2010, 09:25 PM
S&B is what I'm shooting right now. A few years back I saw it for $8 a box for the SPCE load, so I bought a pile. It's fairly nice ammo.
Prvi/Wolfgold is ok as well.
For milsurp I like the Yugo M75.
Willie Lowman
January 2, 2010, 10:45 PM
1970's vintage milsurp. Local gun shop has cases of it stacked chest high.
But I am talking about my M48, I don't have any K98s anymore :)
I can't/won't brag about any 100 yard micro groups because my eyes aren't good enough to shoot like that with irons. Off hand shooting is more fun anyway.
January 3, 2010, 02:21 AM
Prvi Partizan delinked milsurp.
Turk bullet and powder reloaded into Remington brass and CCI primer.
185 gr Corelokt bullet, Rem brass, CCI primer 45 gr IMR 4064.
Best accuracy is from the PPU and handloads :) The Turk flake powder isn't giving me the best performance...
January 5, 2010, 07:23 AM
30's Czech-manufactured German ammo
40's Canadian manufactured ammo (headstamp MM 42)
Never fail to go boom ...
January 10, 2010, 08:36 PM
I use the milsurp from aimsurplus, believe it 70's vintage. For hunting rounds I use igman.

January 12, 2010, 01:52 AM
Surprise, bought my first Mauser (good 48A) at Sunday's gun show:D. A much-pricier Garand will have to wait.
Just a 'Mauser Virgin', but surplus Yugo (plain brass) and Romanian (lacquer-coated) ammo: only twenty rounds used today, but no ftfs or hang-fires.
My best groups at 50 yards, with any gun, are from this Yugo and only used six rounds on the club target before going to the river to blast mud and two insurgent :eek: grapefruits, from the fierce Kroger Tribe.
The front sight had been adjusted by previous owner a fair bit off to the right, to compensate for the handguard being reassembled tiny bit to the right. Took a while to notice that the main handguard piece is also slightly offset to the right.
Is this fairly common when people reassemble rifles? Maybe an internal part did not fit correctly.
January 22, 2010, 01:08 AM
I, too, just shoot surplus ammo......................
January 23, 2010, 08:03 AM
I dont shoot surplus ammo, I shoot sellier & bellot czech 196 grain FMJ through it with EXCELLENT results! Its clean, its good quality, its not corrosive, its loaded to full spec (196 @ 2600 fp/s) and it is very accurate. the brass is also very good.
Not long age I shot 5 shots at .84 at 50yds with my 98k with very good bore and muzzle.

The good news is that Trey Parker doesn't see material for his South Park TV show drying up anytime soon. (Anyone who has seen last week's High School Musical send-off knows that these guys are still hitting the ball out of the park. Who doesn't love the singing, gay slapping man? I mean, come ON! He's gay, he sings everything, and he's slap happy!) The bad news? We're not going to be getting any South Park movie sequel anytime soon. Which sucks, because the first one kinda rocked in all kinds of nasty and foul ways. So what about a "Team America" sequel? Nope, nothing there, either, mostly because the shoot was way too hard for the South Park duo, and they would rather jump into a pool filled with sharks than go through that mess again. Okay, he didn't say that exactly, but words to that effect.
Here are the highlights of what Parker told the LA Times in a recent interview:
We came up with this pretty good idea for a movie, and then of course what happened was we got in the middle of a 'South Park' run, and were completely out of ideas," Parker recalls. "And we were like, well, we've got to use the movie idea. And that became 'Imaginationland.'"
"We started going down the movie route," Parker said hesitantly. "Basically, 'Team America' just killed the movie spirit in us…"
"It was just a much bigger beast than we ever could have imagined," Parker said. "Even the guy who shot all 'The Matrix' movies and the 'Spider-Man' movies would agree that it was the toughest movie shoot to do because it was trying to do a huge action film with marionettes, who don't do anything, and not use any computers to fix anything or do any effects."
Basically, no feature-length movies from the South Park duo for a while. Maybe forever. Until then, we'll just have to make due with the best 30 minutes in all of TV once a week. South Park is still funnier and more relevant than any show on TV, and if you don't agree with that, then you're a humorless dork and should probably shoot yourself right now.

AN inquest has been opened into the death of a talented South Tyneside boxer.
The body of Dale Lincoln, 21, from Horsley Hill, South Shields, was found at the bottom of cliffs at Marsden, on Monday.
Emergency services were scrambled to the coast at around 10am after reports that a Citroen car was seen in the water having gone over cliffs near the Grotto pub.
A part of the beach was closed off while investigations were carried out.
Dale's body was transferred by a volunteer lifeboat crew to South Shields ferry landing where they were met by funeral directors.
South Tyneside coroner Terence Carney today opened and adjourned an inquest into his death.
A post mortem examination has been carried out and the coroner is awaiting its results.
Nicknamed 'The Kid', Dale was a popular member of Horsley Hill Amateur Boxing Club, who last year defended his Tyne Tees and Wear 57 kilo crown for the third time.

|Compared to the Northwest Ridge, this is a far better route. A buddy and I ascended the NW ridge. I eventually bailed off the ridge and cut across slaby face to meet up with the North Rib. My buddy finished the NW and agreed that we both would go back down the North Rib. Once it was all said and done at the bottom we both agreed that the North Rib was a far better route than the NW ridge. More direct, cleaner, and better views.

Chelsea condemned Manchester City to their first home defeat in the Premier League this season as Jose Mourinho's side picked up a massive 1-0 win at the Etihad. The title race took another twist as Mourinho and Chelsea produced a counter-attacking masterclass which took advantage of City's offensive instincts. Branislav Ivanovic's thunderous left-footed strike gave the visitors a deserved first half lead, and Chelsea were unlucky not to extend their advantage as they hit the woodwork three times during the contest. The result gives Mourinho's team a major psychological boost over thier rivals heading into the latter stages of the season, and the Londoners now stand just two points behind leaders Arsenal and only adrift of City on goal difference. Manuel Pellegrini's City, who had won 11 out of 11 at home in the league coming into the encounter, missed the chance to return to the top of the table and failed to score in a home league match since November 2010.
Arsenal returned to the summit of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over a determined Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Sunday. Following a goalless first half, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring when he finished calmly after a astute pass from Santi Cazorla. The England youngster, who had missed four months of the campaign with a knee injury, doubled his tally in the 73rd minute after linking up with Olivier Giroud. The three points are vital for the Gunners, who are fighting to win the title for the first time since 2003-04, with Arsene Wegner's side face Liverpool and Manchester United in their next two league matches.
Liverpool missed a chance to strengthen their grip on fourth place after they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromich Albion. Daniel Sturridge tapped home his 14th goal of the season to put the visitors ahead in the 24th minute. Albion improved in the second half and were on level terms after Kolo Toure's poor pass gifted the Baggies a deserved point. The setback means the Reds are now only two points ahead of local rivals Everton in the fight for fourth place and the illustrious Champion's League places.
Manchester United's hopes of a top four finish took another blow as they were beat 2-1 by Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. Charlie Adam's double strike gave the hosts their first league win over the reigning champions since 1984 and condemned United manager David Moyes to another miserable afternoon. The reigning champions started Juan Mata, Robin Van Persie, and Wayne Rooney together for the first time but fell behind when Adam's free kick was deflected in off Michael Carrick. Van Persie equalized early in the second half but Adam responded with a fantastic 25 yard strike to give the home side their first win in six outings. The result was United's eighth defeat of the season and they also suffered injuries to center-backs Jonny Evans and Phil Jones.
Kevin Mirallas's superb 25-yard free-kick earned Everton a hard fought 2-1 win over Aston Villa at Goodison Park. Leandro Bacuna gave the visitors a surprise half time lead but substitute Steven Naismith broke Villa's stubborn resistance with a 16-yard strike. Mirallas's curling winner five minutes from time moved the Toffees up to fifth in the Premier League, just two points behind Liverpool.
Champion's League hopefuls Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw by Hull City at the KC Stadium. January signing Shane Long scored his first goal for the Tigers, and their first goal of 2014. Paulinho equalized in the 61st minute to earn Spurs an away point, but the result means they slip to 6th in table. Hull's new strike-partnership of Long and Nikica Jelavic showed signs of promise which should help Steve Bruce's team pull away from the relegation zone.
Sunderland earned their third successive win in the Tyne-Wear derby as they thumped rivals Newcastle United 3-0 at St. James' Park. The Black Cats have been rejuvenated since the arrival of Gus Poyet and moved farther away from the drop zone with their third win in four matches. Winger Adam Johnson continued to push his claims for a recall to the England set up as he scored his sixth goal in four league matches.
England trio Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert, and Jay Rodriguez all found themselvthes on the score-sheet as Southampton cruised to a 3-0 win over bottom of the table Fulham. Fulham have now lost five of their past six league matches, conceding 18 goals. Saints, meanwhile, are four games unbeaten in the league and strengthened their grip on ninth place.
Elsewhere, West Ham striker Andy Carroll set up two goals for captain Kevin Nolan before being sent off as the Hammers beat relegation rivals Swansea 2-0. The Swans, who have only won once in their last ten games, have since sacked manager Michael Laudrup.
Finally, Cardiff City picked up their first win under new manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and climbed off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 comeback victory over fellow relegation candidates Norwich City. Wilfred Zaha, who signed on-loan from Manchester United on transfer deadline day, was introduced after only 38 minutes and helped change the game for the Bluebirds.

Police search for man accused of conspiracy to murder
Police are looking for a man wanted for conspiracy to murder, who may be in Victoria's Goulburn Murray region.
Graham Gene Potter, 53, also known as Josh Lawson, is facing charges of conspiracy to murder and serious Commonwealth drug charges.
A warrant was issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in a Melbourne court in February.
Police believe he may be travelling in the Murray area of southern New South Wales and northern Victoria.
He is described as 175cm tall, with a medium to solid build, brown eyes, fair skin and brown greying hair.
Senior Constable Wayne Wilson says Potter has a history of violence.
"Anybody in relation to escapees, it's best if they see them, don't approach them and contact police for their own safety reasons," he said.

LEMON GROVE – Two Palm Middle School students who hid a gun on campus were arrested yesterday, suspected of plotting to shoot a teacher who had given one of the boys an "F," sheriff's officials said.
The 14-year-old who got the failing grade planned to wait until school was out, don a ski mask he had brought in a backpack and shoot the teacher, said sheriff's Lt. Dennis Ferons.
The other 14-year-old had taken a .25-caliber pistol and a fully loaded magazine from home a few days ago, Ferons said.
He said the boys put the gun and ammunition into a Chivas Regal whisky bag and hid it under a bush at one corner of the Palm Avenue campus yesterday morning.
"This looks like it was just about ready to happen," Ferons said. "We feel it went far enough that it was an attempted homicide. They had the gun, the mask; everything was in place to make it happen."
A student who overheard the boys became frightened and called home to reveal the plot, Ferons said. That student's parent called the school, which notified the Sheriff's Department about 11:30 a.m.
Both boys were arrested about 3:30 p.m. on campus, as school was letting out.
Ferons said they were being interviewed later yesterday, then would be booked into Juvenile Hall on suspicion of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a weapon on school grounds.
School officials immediately expelled the boys, Ferons said.
Efforts to reach Palm Principal Glenn Heath and Lemon Grove School District Superintendent McLean King for comment last night were unsuccessful.
The names of the boys were withheld because they are minors. Ferons said he would not identify the teacher because "she's pretty upset." He also declined to describe the subject in which the "F" was given.
Ferons said the plot had been in the making for two or three days. He said he does not believe the boys timed the event with yesterday's three-year anniversary of the Santana High School shootings.
On March 5, 2001, Santana High student Andy Williams shot and killed two other students, Bryan Zuckor, 14, and Randy Gordon, 17, and wounded 13 other people. Williams was then 15. He is now serving a sentence of 50 years to life in prison. He took a handgun from home, knowing where his father kept the key to his locked gun cabinet.
Ferons said the gun hidden yesterday at Palm Middle School belonged to the father of one of the boys. Investigators had not yet interviewed the father last night to learn if he had realized the gun was missing.
The student who overheard the murder plot told authorities the two boys had talked at school of hiding the gun in various spots at Washington Park on Washington Street over the course of a few days.
Ferons said the student overheard them yesterday talking about hiding the gun under a bush on campus and going forward with the shooting that afternoon.
Deputy Al Cornelius and Detective Stacey Taylor of the juvenile unit went to the school to investigate.
"The deputies found the gun exactly where it was reported to be," Ferons said. "They talked to the witness and to others, and over the period of the morning and afternoon developed enough information to make the arrests."
The boys' parents were called and met the deputies at the principal's office before the boys were taken to the Lemon Grove station for questioning, Ferons said.

THE man who laundered more than £10 million in a Glasgow-based VAT fraud is due in court tomorrow after being arrested in Cyprus.
Michael Voudouri, 46, pled guilty to a massive scam but absconded before he could be sentenced.
For 14 months, he was considered one of the UK's most wanted tax fugitives until last January when he was picked up by police in Famagusta.

Voudouri, from Bridge of Allan, was charged with entering the island country with a forged passport and will appear at Nicosia District Court.
If convicted, it is likely he will be extradited to Scotland to carry out his sentence - reportedly to be at least 10 years.
Voudouri claims he bought a passport for £3000 and burned it once he entered the country.
Officers failed to find records of his arrival and remanded him in custody as a flight risk.
An official said: "Voudouri was kept in jail to prevent him escaping the country.
"We don't want criminals thinking they can hide here," he added. "Scottish police can come and take him back."

Trump: 'I Don't Like Firing People'
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NEW YORK) — His recent political exploits aside, these days brassy real estate magnate Donald Trump is known best for two words: "You're fired!" It's the phrase he declares with gusto to dispense with losing contestants on his NBC reality show, The Apprentice.
But when cameras aren't rolling, Trump tells ABC's 20/20 that — brace yourselves, Trump fans – he actually doesn't enjoy firing employees.
"I do have a heart, and I don't like firing people," he said in a recent interview. "I usually like to do it very, very soft, softer than (on the) The Apprentice."
Trump said that, when it's come to letting people go, he's gone as far as taking them out to dinner to break the news — though he concedes that doesn't necessarily score him any points with fired employees.
"The bottom line is, once you say, essentially, 'You're fired,' no matter how nice it is, nobody really likes you," he said.
There are exceptions, of course, to Trump's "soft" firing strategy.
"If somebody does something bad, if there's theft involved, if there's good reason, I do it very much like The Apprentice, if not even worse," he said.
Trump's not the only mogul with a general distaste for letting go employees. Sports and film tycoon Mark Cuban says that when he has to fire someone, he puts some of the blame on himself.
"I love when you hire somebody, I love helping make people successful," he told ABC News' Cecilia Vega. "And if I fired you, I failed as much as you have, probably even more. Because my job is to put you in a position to succeed."
Cuban, one of the "shark" investors on ABC's Shark Tank reality show, compared firing someone to ending a romance.
"I'd say, 'Look, I'm sorry. You know, it's not working.' It's like breaking up with a girlfriend. 'It's not you, it's me,'" he said. "It's just not comfortable."
A backdrop of tinsel and mistletoe may make the situation even more uncomfortable for Cuban: When he does have to fire someone, Cuban said, one of the best times to do it is around Christmas.
"Emotionally, it feels bad, but the start of the year is when people are often hiring, and so you want to put somebody in the workforce when they (have the) best opportunity to get hired," he said. "It sounds bad, it feels bad, but in reality, it's not so bad."
