Natural Calm Magnesium Powder, 8 oz
Magnesium influences many bodily processes, including digestion, energy production, muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, activation of B vitamins and relaxation of muscles, as well as assisting in the functions of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. The fact is that lack of sufficient available magnesium in the body can interfere with any or all of these processes. The National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, reports that there is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Magnesium is an essential mineral. This means that the body doesn't manufacture it and it must be obtained through diet. Most people don't get enough magnesium. "If you wanted to take the most important, the number one, mineral in the human body that is sorely neglected," says noted author Sherry Rogers, MD, "it's magnesium. The average American diet, government studies show us, provides only 40%-less than half the magnesium that we all need in a day. So almost everybody is low!" A significant percentage of the population have below healthy magnesium levels, including many who already use magnesium. Why? First, the amount of magnesium required by the body is greater than people think. Second, most magnesium capsules and tablets are not completely absorbed by the body.
According to Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, and author of The Magnesium Miracle, "The powdered form [of magnesium] is the best because you start absorbing it straight away, even in the mouth. So, powdered first, and then capsules, and then tablets. The tablets usually have a lot of binders and fillers and are harder to dissolve than capsules."
Suggested Use:
Individual needs may vary. Start with 1½ teaspoon (1 gram) daily and gradually increase to 2 slightly rounded teaspoons (4.5 g) per day as needed. Some people may need to start with a half teaspoon only and gradually work up to higher amounts. For best results, divide your daily amount of Natural Calm into two or three servings. Natural Calm can be taken with or without food. During times of stress or heavy physical activity your body may need more Natural Calm.
Contains No yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, soy, wheat, sugar, fructose, starch, preservatives or artificial color or flavor. Cruelty free.
Warning: For pregnant or lactating women, or if you have kidney problems, an obstructed bowel, or are currently on medication, consult with your doctor. Keep out of the reach of children.

Salle Piano CD Release Party ShotsTuesday, February 14th, 2012
Happy Valentine's Day !
Our CD Release Party and debut performance at Salle Piano Gallery in San Francisco was a GREAT success. We got to play a vintage $175K Bosendorfer piano (!) and pluck a turn of the century art case piano as well. The room sounded great with all the electronic and acoustic elements mixed together. The icing was Daniel Durrett's live visuals projected above us on the gallery wall. Sweet!! A great way to kick things off for Hammer Inventions. The room was FULL of our devoted supporters. Video of the set is coming soon and we are very inspired at the moment writing new pieces, coming up with ideas and concepts and other piano generated sound and textures. We are thinking about adding harpsichord…and maybe other vintage electronic keyboard sampled instruments….
More Video is on the Way! In the meantime, check out a couple short videos of 'Bittersuite' and 'Vortex'

Watch for fake 5.0 user ratings on merchant sites; and watch out for efforts by doctors, others to block real ratings, too
Giving consumers the ability to accurately discover price and quality on the Internet is an important issue. User reviews have the still unrealized potential to help individual consumers crowd-source their influence to improve the marketplace, give them better choices and reward merchants that play fair.
But today, when you gotta have it, you might rationalize picking one online product over another because of its truly excellent average 4.8 user review rating. But as David Streitfield reports in his New York Times story "For $2 a Star, an Online Retailer Gets 5-Star Product Reviews." His lede: "Some exalt themselves by anonymously posting their own laudatory reviews. Now there is an even simpler approach: offering a refund to customers in exchange for a write-up." The story reports on efforts by professor Bing Liu -- an expert on "sentiment analysis" -- to establish a computer algorithm to data-mine the reviews to determine their truthfulness. The story also notes that "Under F.T.C. rules, when there is a connection between a merchant and someone promoting its product that affects the endorsement's credibility, it must be fully disclosed." Streitfield quotes FTC official Mary K. Engle as "very concerned."
Here's a paper by Liu and a colleague from a few years back (Danger, Will Robinson, it's a short, but somewhat wonky, pdf). And here's a link to a recent $250,000 FTC civil penalty action against a guitar instruction firm charged with "using deceptive advertisements by representing that online endorsements written by affiliates reflected the views of ordinary consumers or "independent" reviewers, without clearly disclosing that the affiliates were paid for every sale they generated." The FTC page also links to its guidelines on paid inducements, endorsements and testimonials on the web, which also apply to bloggers, who often get free stuff or junkets for writing glowing reviews but don't mention it. Not that I would take it, but nobody ever offers me any free stuff. Go figure.
Meanwhile, over at the Washington Post, Dina ElBoghdady reports that "Some doctors try to squelch online reviews;" in this case, they're using boilerplate contracts prepared by a firm called Medical Justice that you must sign before treatment, signing away your right to comment to your doctor. The goal? They're trying to use copyright law to "squelch" valid reviews from patients. She notes that after a disgruntled patient published reviews online, "he received a letter from the dental practice threatening to sue him for at least $100,000 for "defamation, slander and libel." The letter reminded him that he'd signed an agreement with his dentist that barred him from publishing a critique of her or her office." ElBoghdady discusses a lawsuit against a dentist using Medical Justice boilerplate contracts; she interviews Public Citizen Attorney Paul Alan Levy, a lawyer for the plaintiffs and perhaps the nation's leading expert on how copyright law is being used abusively to block speech on the Internet. Here's a longer post from the Public Citizen Law and Policy blog explaining the case. Levy has also worked with law students at UC Berkeley School of Law and Santa Clara School of Law, who've put up an excellent website called Doctored Reviews.
So, as a consumer, remember that sometimes information on the web may be bought and paid for, written by sockpuppets or worse and therefore harmful, and sometimes good commentary is unfairly suppressed. But, both these problems are being worked on.

More victims in child porn case of former Milwaukee County deputy
There could be more victims in the case of a Milwaukee County sheriff's deputy charged with making child pornography and then sharing the photos online.
According to court minutes obtained by WISN 12 News on Monday, Phil Wentzel admitted to taking photos of six to seven young girls in his cabin at a campsite in Campbellsport.
Wentzel said he'd "been involved with this activity for two years." He said he "could not control himself--he knew what he was doing was wrong."
Phil Wentzel resigned from the department on Monday.
One family spoke exclusively with WISN 12 News about their concerns for their daughters and nieces because they camped near Wentzel.
Kimberly Tatro of Bay View said neither her daughters nor her nieces ever stayed over in Wentzel's cabin but her extended family hung out with a lot of other children at the campground.
"Just the thought that we're all in the same area, even him walking past us and having that thought in his head as my daughters walk past him at the same time, gets under my skin," said Tatro.
"You just don't know who to trust anymore, it just proves it could have been anybody," said Tatro.
Investigators said Wentzel took the pictures of young girls after he drugged them or while they slept, and then shared them on the Internet.
Tatro said her daughter and nieces have never mentioned Deputy Wentzel, but she contacted the FBI just in case.
"They wanted us to get some of our kids' pictures together so they can cross check with the other pictures to see if our kids were exposed to that, but once it hits the internet, it's gone," said Tatro.
Wentzel is due back in court on Wednesday and faces 30 years in prison if convicted.

An open letter to Mario Batali: Denver does too have a culinary soul.
Update: In a Google Hangout Jan. 30 with Parade food editor Sarah DiGregorio, Mario Batali apologized directly to Kim and our fair city:
"Denver, being a relatively modern city has a less of a tradition than say, Boston or New Orleans to look back on. That isn't to say there isn't delicious food in Denver. I love Denver and I love its food."
In honor of Denver, Batali said he plans to serve nachos with bison sausage, lamb-sausage meatloaf sliders, green chile taquitos with "rich beef from the magnificent state of Colorado" instead of pork, and "because both Washington and Colorado have recently passed pro-weed laws, we're going for brownies for dessert, so everyone wins."
And that afternoon on The Chew, Batali said this: "It seems that some of the disappointed Denver fans thought I was dogging the lack of soul in their town… they just don't have a rich culinary tradition, like a city that's much older… I love the Broncos too, I just hope they lose to Seattle."
Well, okay, Mario, apology accepted.
Here's our original post:
Fellow Colorado food editor Kimberly Lord Stewart responds to chef Mario Batali's recent comments about Denver's food scene in this guest post. I wholeheartedly agree with her. Here we go:
Dear Mario Batali,
In last Sunday's Parade magazine, tucked in the Denver Post, and on a Parade YouTube video interview, you said Denver had no gastronomic soul. Our state may not have the gastronomic giants and celebrity chefs of New York, but to say the city has no food soul — that is just harsh, Batali. May I remind you, the very soles of your Broncos-orange Crocs are made in Colorado. (The chef recently bought 200 pairs of the spongy clogs when the company announced it would no longer make that color.)
In case readers didn't see it, here are quotes to put some meat around the issue, quoted from Parade's YouTube channel and the magazine:
"Indianapolis versus Denver would not be a great one gastronomically." – Mario Batali.

Day 163 without playing golf
Forget that Lefty obliterated the field at the BellSouth Classic. Forget the two-driver strategy.
It's Masters week and I'm pulling out all the stops to get the inside scoop on Team Mickelson.
Two words: Waffle House.
This from Masters.org:
"Now for Mickelson's secret weapon as he prepares for the 2006 Masters. He finally revealed what the magic might be for him -- an early week visit to the local Waffle House to meet with Pelz and some of his short game staff for a pre-Masters breakfast.
'I like the Waffle House there. They have some pretty good breakfasts.'"
Belch. Oops, sorry Tiger. Must have been that Belgian waffle.

Ein Jude, c.1926
Jankel Adler was born in Tuszyn, near Łódź in 1895. His family were orthodox Jews, and he was the seventh of ten children. Having studied engraving with his uncle in Belgrade, Adler travelled throughout Europe, and took up a teaching post at the Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf alongside Paul Klee. Influenced by Picasso and Leger as well as Klee, Adler's art was inevitably labelled "degenerate" by the Nazis, and he fled Germany for Paris in 1933. None of his siblings survived the Holocaust. He enlisted with the Polish army when World War II broke out but was discharged due to health reasons, following which he settled in Scotland and later London. He died in Aldbourne in 1949. More on Adler: one, two, three, four.

I thought I'd give the whole high-waisted-pleated-pants thing a go. It wasn't too bad! They were actually quite comfortable. Since it was something I wasn't sure about, I went the cheapo route and bought a pair at the thrift store. I just cut them off a bit at the bottom and ironed a cuff into the bottom.
Someone commented the other day that my beret is back. The cooler weather we've been having certainly warrants wearing a hat, but truth be told it's less of a fashion accessory these days as it is a clever way of covering up all of my roots that are growing in. The hair growing out process is in full swing and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I know I'm going to let the bangs grow out but I'll have to see how I feel about the color (I think it's going to be a dark blond - we'll see!). I haven't dyed it in months and it's turned sort of an orangy shade. And yes, I know it matches my shoes. Completely unintentionally!

Oh the pants look great! I went thrifting the other day and found a perfect grey pair and oddly enough they were from Old Navy of all places??wtf? I mean, they were everything I needed: high waisted, pleated, slim leg, cuffed. But Old Navy, really? Oh well they were on the .50$ rack so I had to get them.
Good luck with the great hair debate! I'm pledging to stop dying mine for the next year! We'll see how that one goes.

Real-World DR
Storage administrators often ask what their peers are doing to solve DR problems. However, information of this type is usually difficult to make public. These case studies have a central theme: Increasing data levels and stricter compliance regulations are forcing companies to look to newer technologies to solve their growing DR and backup pains.
- Marc Staimer, Dragon Slayer Consulting
Storage administrators often ask what their peers are doing to solve the same disaster recovery (DR) problems they face. What they really want to know is what's working and what's cost-effective.
Information of this type is usually difficult to make public. Many IT organizations have a policy restricting employees from speaking to the press or others about these issues. Companies often don't want to bring attention to their problems, even if they've been resolved. To bring you as candid a report as possible, we've withheld some company names in this article. The pertinent facts remain unchanged, however.
Users are also typically tight-lipped about how much they actually paid for a DR solution. Therefore, the "cost to implement" numbers that follow are based on approximate MSRP and estimated operating expenses (OpEx) for the time invested, although all of the companies report that they paid considerably less than the sticker price.
The following case studies have a central theme: Increasing data levels and stricter compliance regulations are forcing companies to look to newer technologies to solve their growing DR and backup pains. The old DR paradigm of backing up to tape and driving the tapes offsite is broken. Companies are increasingly replicating data over high-speed WANs and using incremental backup technologies to meet their service level agreements (SLAs) and backup windows, and to protect their critical data less expensively. Of course, restores are much easier, too.
Compliance crisis
A multinational bank's storage requirements for its worldwide operations and hundreds of distributed locations have been growing at an increasing rate. This put intolerable pressure on its backup/restore systems. The firm's NetBackup and ARCserve systems, from Veritas Software Corp. and Computer Associates (CA) International Inc., respectively, were unable to meet their needs and problems were becoming progressively worse. Backup windows were missed more often than they were met. Simple restores of a single file were taking between five and 10 hours; SQL database restores were taking days to fully restore. The bank estimated that only approximately 70% of its data was protected and recoverable.
These issues led to other problems. Software patch windows were missed because of the time required for backups. Tapes were trucked offsite to a tape-vault service provider, but if a backup window was missed, incomplete backup tapes were shipped offsite.
In addition, backup data security was essentially non-existent. Tape data wasn't encrypted, so anyone could copy/load a tape and have access to highly confidential user information and records -- a serious liability as evidenced recently by another big bank's well-publicized loss of tapes containing 1.5 million user records.
It was obvious that the bank would be in serious trouble if it ever had to recover from a disaster. "This was a nightmare of epic proportions," said one bank executive. "And one that was not without its consequences." In an age of regulatory compliance, failure to protect the bank's data and recover it in an adequate period of time put the bank at risk of severe financial penalties. The situation had to be fixed quickly.
To correct its numerous problems, the bank first determined what it needed and then prioritized what to fix first. During the product research phase, storage administrators studied and evaluated products from all the top brand-name vendors and a few startup companies. After much scrutiny, the bank zeroed in on the only solution it felt met its requirements. Backup My Info! Inc., a backup service provider/VAR based in Florida and New York, recommended Televaulting backup-to-disk software from Asigra Inc., a 19-year-old Toronto software firm (see "Pay-as-you-go remote backup"). To ensure data would never be outside its control, the bank elected to license Televaulting from Backup My Info! instead of purchasing the backup/restore service.
Asigra's Televaulting has only two main backup/restore components, DS-System and DS-Client. The DS-System software is the centralized repository for backups. This is how the bank deployed it: The DS-System contains the entire set of compressed and encrypted generations of incremental-forever backups from each remote location or laptop. All of the backed up data is stored as content-addressable storage. This means all of the compressed and encrypted files and/or data can be restored with a high degree of granularity. Individual files, complete volumes, database tables, complete databases or even bare metal can be restored from any of the backup generations. DS-System software runs on standard (Linux, Windows, Solaris or VMware) servers without any special hardware.
The DS-Client software is installed at remote sites. This part of the application collects the data to be backed up at the remote location from all of the target application, file, mail and database servers, as well as any included desktop and laptop PCs. The DS-Client maintains only the latest version of each backup; restores of that generation can be made locally without having to access the DS-System.
Multiple DS-Clients can transmit to the same central DS-System. DS-Client backup targets don't have agents; DS-Client uses standard APIs and existing security credentials to remotely log into all backup targets to capture relevant application data and securely manage the transfer to the DS-System.
The DS-Client maintains all current sets of permissions and doesn't require turning the backup targets into shared or mapped drives. It transmits all the data from first-time backups in a compressed and encrypted format to the central DS-System over a TCP/IP connection. It applies AES or DES encryption to backup data in flight and at rest in the DS-System repository. All subsequent target backups eliminate redundant (or common) files, and backs up incrementally or only the changed blocks (delta blocking). The net effect is that the bandwidth required at each remote site is measurably reduced, which is an important cost consideration for any distributed backup/restore program.
Cost was another key factor for the bank. DS-Client licenses are free, while the DS-System is licensed on a "pay-as-you-grow" basis based on the compressed backup capacity stored at the central location and additional advanced features. Essentially, the software is licensed the same way disk is purchased. The bank paid $90,000 MSRP with an ongoing OpEx of $27,000.
Of course, there's no such thing as a perfect implementation. Shortly after installing DS-Client, the bank discovered there wasn't enough memory in the system to collect the data. Doubling the RAM solved the problem.
The bank has deployed Televaulting on the majority of its servers and most of its desktops. It plans to roll it out to its remaining desktops and laptops. The results to date:
An e-ICP's DR problem
Our second company is Broadview Networks Inc., a New York City-based electronically integrated communications provider (e-ICP). Broadview provides integrated communications solutions (including voice services, data services, dial-up and high-speed Internet services) to businesses in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states.
It was using EMC Corp.'s Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF)/Adaptive Copy over the EMC Gigabit Ethernet Director for DR replication between its two primary data centers. These data centers are separated by approximately 10 milliseconds of roundtrip latency. The general rule of thumb in converting circuit latency into distance is that a millisecond of latency equals approximately 100 miles.
EMC and the e-ICP calculated they could meet the DR replication requirements with a 24 megabyte per second (MBps) fractional DS3 private virtual circuit (PVC).
Unfortunately, they were wrong. Actual measurements showed a best-case effective data throughput of a miserly 17 MBps (and as low as 12 MBps). To make matters worse, replication requirements were increasing; Broadview wasn't meeting its backup windows and data wasn't being protected. The company determined it now needed effective data throughput of at least 28 MBps to meet its backup windows.
Broadview would have to increase the bandwidth allocation to its EMC DR application to at least a whole DS3 and possibly part of another. Even then, there were no guarantees the additional bandwidth would fix the effective data throughput problem, and projected additional bandwidth operating costs were high. Broadview even considered replacing the entire EMC DR solution, but elected not to do that when it realized the throughput issue centered on TCP/IP's fickleness.
EMC's solution was to bring in the HyperIP TCP storage replication accelerator from Network Executive (NetEx) Software Inc., Maple Grove, MN. The HyperIP software runs on a standard Lintel appliance provided by NetEx. HyperIP is usually deployed in matched pairs (although it can be deployed in a many-to-one configuration) and for critical DR, in an active-active fully redundant, highly available configuration. It can be set up as a simple TCP gateway or proxy. Broadview set it up as a gateway.
HyperIP takes in TCP/IP packets from the application over a Gigabit Ethernet adapter and converts them to an efficient, alternative transport delivery mechanism between appliances. In doing so, it receives the optimized buffers from the local application and delivers them to the destination appliance for subsequent delivery to the remote application process. HyperIP is licensed on a "pay-as-you-grow" basis based on the amount of throttled bandwidth.
HyperIP tracks the acknowledgements of data and resending buffers; its flow-control mechanism on each connection optimizes the performance of the connection to match available bandwidth and network capacity. Because it uses a more efficient transport protocol than TCP/IP, it dramatically lowers overhead. In addition, it dynamically adjusts window size from 2 KB to 256 KB, allowing optimal replication performance. The result is essentially zero TCP latency and considerable congestion avoidance. The entire HyperIP transport is completely transparent to the storage replication application.
A key challenge for storage replication applications running over TCP/IP is packet loss. Bit errors, jitter, router buffer overflows and the occasional misbehaving node can all cause packet loss, which is devastating to effective data throughput. Most networks have some packet loss, ranging from .01% to as high as 5%. Packet loss causes the TCP transport to retransmit packets, slow down the transmission of packets from a given source and re-enter slow start mode each time a packet is lost. This error-recovery process causes effective throughput to drop to as low as 10% of the available bandwidth.
HyperIP mitigates the effects of up to 5% packet loss by optimizing the blocks of data traversing the WAN, maintaining selective acknowledgements of the data buffers and resending only the buffers that didn't make it, not the whole frame. Packet loss for Broadview -- although nominally in the .01% range -- was having a negative impact on the EMC SRDF effective data throughput.
There were multiple issues with Broadview's implementation. First, because latency was in constant variance, the HyperIP units had difficulty functioning correctly. Once the network settled down, an ATM router port failed. After that was corrected, the Symmetrix began having intermittent Gigabit Ethernet port time-out issues because its firmware wasn't up to date. Once the firmware was updated, the ATM router port was fixed and the network stabilized, things ran smoothly. The implementation cost was $120,000 MSRP; the ongoing OpEx is approximately $18,000.
Broadview is thrilled with its HyperIP implementation. Its EMC SRDF/Adaptive Copy effective data throughput ranges between 60 MBps to 90 MBps on its 24 MBps PVC, averaging about 70 MBps. The plan is to aggregate other storage replication applications (such as Veritas Volume Replicator) through the HyperIP to take advantage of the additional "free" bandwidth.
Virtualizing storage arrays
For a large southern U.S. manufacturer, DR recently became a primary issue because of regulatory compliance. Before the regulations, the manufacturer thought of DR protection as nothing more than backing up to tape and shipping the tape offsite. But before it could implement a better DR system, it had to solve a difficult problem between its VMware servers and IBM Corp. ESS (Shark) storage systems.
To get around the Shark's inability to dynamically allocate storage to a logical unit number (LUN), the manufacturer carved its Sharks into 4 GB LUNs. It then used the server's volume manager to aggregate LUNs as needed for applications. The workaround was successful until it was moved to a VMware-based environment.
The problem arose when the storage requirements on the VMware servers increased to 2 TB. VMware is limited to 128 LUNs, which is more than sufficient in most circumstances. But the Shark workaround was now a roadblock: 128 LUNs multiplied by 4 GB per LUN equals a maximum of 512 GB -- barely one-quarter of the new requirement. The manufacturer could have carved the Shark up again, but that would have meant migrating all the data from the Shark, re-initializing and reformatting the Shark and then migrating the data back -- a process that would have been disruptive and time consuming. Another option would have been to rip out the VMware environment and to go back to one server image per platform, but that would have incurred dramatic disruptions and high costs.
The company thought SAN fabric-based virtualization might solve its primary problem and, as a side benefit, provide a cost-effective DR solution as well. It evaluated solutions from DataCore Software Corp., FalconStor Software Inc., IBM and Troika Networks Inc. It settled on Troika's Accelera and SAN Volume Suite (SVS), which includes Troika VMware multipathing fabric agent, StoreAge Storage Virtualization Manager (SVM), multiMirror, multiCopy and remote mirroring over TCP/IP. The SVS is primarily deployed in active-active pairs with each one connected to its own Fibre Channel (FC) switch or director.
The VMware multipathing fabric agent, part of SVS, resides on the Troika Accelera, not the VMware server. The StoreAge volume management, replication, snapshot, mirroring and data migration tools reside on the SVM appliance. The SVM appliance provides the virtualized LUN map to the fabric agent, which directs each VMware server's access to the physical LUNs. Replication over distance is done using TCP/IP from the SVM appliance.
The company experienced only one significant setback, which occurred when it was implementing the high-availability (HA) option. The administrator pulled a series of FC cables to prompt a failover. Apparently, the sequence of cable pulls revealed a bug in the failover code, which Troika then patched.
Another problem that occurred was attributed to operator error. The company had implemented StoreAge server agents on a number of server platforms, including Windows and Novell NetWare, before they were available as "fabric" agents. When new Novell NetWare servers were added, the agents weren't loaded on the servers. This let the Novell servers connect directly to physical LUNs (instead of the virtual LUNs) they shouldn't have had access to and data was corrupted. The error was quickly discovered and fixed, although it took much longer to correct the corrupted data. As a result, the company is looking to migrate all of its server agents to fabric-based agents to prevent similar errors. Implementation costs were approximately $120,000 MSRP for the HA configuration; ongoing OpEx is approximately $18,000.
The Troika SVS system solves the VMware/Shark dilemma by presenting 1 TB virtual LUNs to the VMware servers. The company expects payback in as little as 12 to 18 months based on the savings vs. current costs for storage provisioning and offsite tape storage. The estimated costs don't include the savings from disk-based DR. The Troika SVS will reduce disk-based replication costs from approximately $90,000 per terabyte to $10,000 per terabyte by allowing the replicated data to reside on a lower cost disk system such as IBM's DS4000, Nexsan Technologies' ATAboy or EMC's Clariion.

A young Palmdale girl is not expected to survive after being shot in the head when her family's car was chased by a second vehicle whose passengers opened fire early Wednesday morning.
The girl's family said 7-year-old Desirae Macias is now brain dead and on life support at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. They expect her to be taken off life support.
"Her heart's pumping because she's on medicine. Her organs are only working because she's on life support," the girl's aunt, Alicia Galvan, told KTLA-TV. "Her brain's not functioning."
Galvan added the family is waiting to disconnect the life support systems so that family members can see her one last time.
"They're going to disconnect her; we're just waiting for the grandma to get there," she said.
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the shooting, although police say there may be more people involved.
The girl's family drove away from a Mobil gas station at Fort Tejon Road and Pearblossom Highway after getting into an argument with men in another car. The men reportedly followed the family in their own vehicle.
The second car opened fire near the intersection of Sunburst and Stratford drives, and the child was hit by at least one bullet as the family was chased down residential streets. She was in the back seat of the family's red Toyota Corolla, which was hit by several bullets. Investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department gathered evidence at three different locations along the route where shots were fired.
After the shooting and chase ended in front of the family's home, they discovered the little girl had been shot in the head. She was airlifted to the hospital, according to authorities.
A short time after the incident, sheriff's deputies in the area saw a car matching the description given by the family. Three suspects were arrested and booked on attempted murder charges. The identities of the suspects have not been released.
Investigators are looking for two more suspects who were in the car at the time of the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to call sheriff's detectives at 661-272-2400.

SAN DIEGO -- Every one of the 93 prospects on hand for Monday and Tuesday's Perfect Game Underclass All-American Games tournament showcase has his own reasons for being here. Most cite taking advantage of the opportunity to play alongside other very talented ballplayers from around the country and of the same age and many others cite the added exposure in front scouts and college coaches.
Those are among the reasons why highly ranked 2015 Colorado catching prospect Wyatt Cross said he was at Fowler Park at the University of San Diego on Monday with plans to return on Tuesday. But Cross had another motive, one that hadn't really occurred to him until he walked out of the San Diego Padres' Petco Park at about 8:30 Sunday night.
After watching the 11th annual Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings, Cross decided he is going to do everything in his power over the next 11 months to make sure he is invited to the 12th annual PG All-American Classic -- starting with a strong performance at the PG Underclass AA Games.
"I'm out here today to play in these games and I feel like I'm ready to play," Cross said before he and his USA (Red) teammates took batting practice on Cunningham Field. "Hopefully, then, I can be like those guys who were (at Petco) last night, out there playing in the All-American game. It was amazing; I can't even imagine being able to play in that game."
Cross, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound, left-handed hitter from Broomfield, Colo., who is a junior at Legacy High School, is doing everything right so far in his bid to gain PG All-American status in 2014. He came into the All-American Games ranked No. 31 overall in the national high school class of 2015; he is ranked as the country's No. 5 catching prospect (Nos. 2 and 1, respectively, in Colorado).
Both of his parents, Todd and Lisa, accompanied Wyatt on this trip to Southern California and are very supportive of Wyatt's pursuit of accomplishing big things on the diamond. Lisa found herself an individual box seat on the wide-open main concourse at newly renovated Fowler Park and was content to take in all of the day's action.
"This is what we've all been working for, and this a family thing," she said, sitting in the warm early afternoon sunshine. "In order for him to be successful it takes the family to have that buy-in -- financially and with your time. I'm just so excited for him I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.
"This is definitely one of the steps that he had to take to get to where he wants to go; this is where he needs to be today, for sure."
The PG Underclass All-American Games are technically a showcase -- each of the five teams took batting practice and participated in an infield-outfield workout session -- but the games also award the winners with a showcase-ending "championship" game. That format gives the event a tournament feel.
"Being tournament style, it's fun trying to build a team together and getting to play with some of the kids that you've been playing against over the summer," Cross said.
He has already participated in two important showcases this summer: the Rocky Mountain Showcase played June 1-2 at Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Colo., and the prestigious PG Junior National Showcase June 11-12 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
He was named the No. 2 overall prospect at the Rocky Mountain behind only good friend Nicholas Shumpert (2015, Lone Tree, Colo.). A PG scouting report said that Cross "showed good bat speed with pop" and "as a catcher he showed great actions behind the plate, receives very well and has good arm strength" while noting he recorded the event's top pop time of 1.81 seconds.
"Perfect Game has opened up a lot of doors for me; I probably wouldn't be where I am today without them," Cross said. "Going to that first showcase and getting seen and getting on the radar and getting on the (PG) website, it's really opened up a lot of eyes; it's really cool."
He moved to a much bigger national stage at the Metrodome where he performed in front of hundreds of scouts and college coaches alongside another 150 of the nation's top underclass prospects. He was named the No. 3 position-player prospect at the Jr. National, with PG vice president of player personnel David Rawnsley writing:
"While the other two catchers on this TP list, Dominic DiCaprio and Michael Hickman are strong, physically mature backstops ... Cross is the epitome of projection. He was also the best game receiver combining all aspects of the position's diverse needs and swung the bat very well."
"That was a once in a lifetime experience; that was really fun," Cross said of the Junior National. "That was my first time getting to play against the caliber of players like that with all the pitching -- it was coming in 90 (mph) and it was really fun and it was really eye-opening."
Cross's rise to the top-30 in the national rankings has been steady and sure. According to his mom, Lisa, Wyatt has received a ton of support from the Colorado baseball community, most notably ex-big-leaguer Terry Shumpert, who is also at this event with son Nicholas.
"We're really blessed because we're surrounded by a lot of real great people that have gone through it," Lisa said. "There are former Major League Baseball players that have coached him or continue to coach him, and they have given him advice; even the people with Perfect Game have given us wonderful advice. We've even been telling kids that are ranked high throughout our state that they need to be with Perfect Game; that's where it's at."
Terry Shumpert threw BP to Wyatt, Nicholas and the other USA (Red) team members Monday afternoon. He has served as an assistant coach to Chad Raley at Marucci Elite the last two summers and Cross played with Marucci Elite at the 16u Perfect Game World Series in Fort Myers, Fla., earlier this month.
"Terry has been huge for us," Lisa Cross said. "Great advice, great mentoring. Wyatt actually played with Nick (Shumpert) when they were younger and I work with (Terry's) wife ... and they've had a huge, huge influence."
Cross regularly plays summer ball with CageRats Baseball, an organization he describes as the best in Colorado.
He has committed to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and he said his decision came down to UNC and neighboring North Carolina State. He liked both coaches, he liked both campuses, he like both schools, but in the end chose the Tar Heels because he felt they offered a little more of what he was looking for academically.
"I'm actually sad because in two years this part of the ride will be done, and then we'll be off on the next adventure," Lisa said. "Whether it's UNC or the draft or where ever we end up going, but right now this is why I have a huge smile on my face; this is just awesome."
Where ever they end up going, Cross plans on arriving there with a catcher's mitt on his left hand. He has always been a catcher and said he couldn't imagine playing any other position on the field: "When you're catching you're in on every play and that's what I like about, being right there in the action," he said.
And, of course, he hopes to be right there in the middle of the action at the 2014 Perfect Game All-American Classic presented by Rawlings. That's the reason, he's not ashamed to admit, he's even at the PG Underclass All-American Games.
"We're all getting ready to play with some of the kids that hopefully will be out there next year at the All-American game," Cross said. "We all want to get prepared and see where we stand."

Stingy Pitching Again
Brilliant pitching by Cole and Ryan ended the Phillies four-game losing streak Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
The two combined for 11 strikeouts in holding the Rockies to one run. It was the first win ever over the Rockies for Cole. Ryan extended his scoreless streak to 11 innings and is 7-for-7 in save opportunities. He gave up a leadoff double in the ninth and then recorded three strikeouts. He's given up one run this season, April 18.
Cole was touched for an seventh inning run. Sine his first start at home against the Mets in April, his ERA at home is now 2.03.
Once again the offense wasn't potent but was able to scratch for two runs. Wilson, the No. 8 hitter, had two of the five hits, scored a run and drove in another. I guess it can be called small ball. Know Charlie would welcome some long ball but a win is a win.
Phillies are 10th in the NL in homers and ninth in runs scored, a far cry from recent seasons . . . Thursday night, Cliff will host patients from St. Christopher's Hospital as part of his Lee's VIPs program . . . As part of Romero's Rookies, J.C. will host children from Youth in Action Ministries.
