Administrative Magistrate:
Judithann Burke
Pursuant to M.G.L.c. 111 s. 72F-L and 105 CMR 155, the Petitioner,
Department of Public Health (DPH), issued a Complaint Investigation Report which included two (2) findings of patient abuse and one (1) finding of neglect against the Respondent, Jaime Xavier, on January 3, 2007, mid-December 2006 and December 29, 2006, respectively. The DPH Notice of Agency Action was issued on February 12, 2007. (Exhibits 1 and 2). The Respondent's claim for a hearing was received on June 13, 2007. DPH waived any issue of timeliness of the appeal. (Exhibits 3-5). A hearing was held on January 18, 2008 at the Bristol Community College New Bedford Campus, Room NB103, 185 Union Street, New Bedford, MA.
At the hearing, nineteen (19) exhibits were marked. The DPH moved to redact
pages 8-11 and pages 15-17 of its Surveyor's Investigation Report (Exhibit 2), thereby dismissing one count of abuse and one count of infringement on patient rights. In support of the remaining allegations, DPH presented the testimony of the following witnesses:
Irene Doyle, Director of Nursing (DON) at Alden Court Nursing Care and Rehabilitation Center in New Bedford, MA (Alden Court); Kristen Fineberg, Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) at Alden Court; Rita Santiago, CNA at Alden Court; Barbara Avila, former Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) at Alden Court; Donna Borges, CNA at Alden Court; Stefanie Brizida, CNA at Alden Court; Vanessa Baptista, CNA at Alden Court; and Elizabeth Pungitore, the DPH Surveyor. The Respondent testified in his own behalf.
The Respondent also presented the testimony of Henry Lee, LPN at Alden Court and Ana Farizo, the daughter of a resident at Alden Court. Both parties stated their arguments for the record. Seven (7) audiotapes were made of the proceedings.
Based upon the testimony and documents submitted at the hearing in the above-
entitled matter, I hereby render the following findings of fact:
1. The Respondent, Jaime Xavier, d.o.b. 08-16-1969, was born in the Azores and
came to the United States in his early childhood. He was raised in New Bedford, MA.
The Respondent did not complete high school, however, he received certification as a Nurse Aide from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth in 2005. He began working as a CNA at Alden Court in New Bedford in December 2005. (Testimony and Exhibit 2).
2. The Respondent's job performance was positively evaluated in
December 2006. There was no discipline up to that point. Many family members
of residents at Alden Court requested that the Respondent care for their relatives on a regular basis. Many co-workers admired the Respondent for his dependability and work ethic. (Id. and Exhibits 26-28).
3. On January 3, 2007, EP, a paraplegic male who had bilateral leg amputations,
had been a resident at Alden Court for approximately seven (7) months. EP was
depressed, irritable, delusional and resistant to care. He also had cognitive and short term memory impairment.
At approximately 9:00 P.M. on January 3, 2007, EP had turned himself around in
the bed and shed his incontinence brief. He needed incontinence care. The Respondent and two other CNAs assisted in moving him and cleaning him up. EP was combative and verbally abusive while he was receiving this care. The CNAs needed two changes of sheets as EP became incontinent a second time after the sheets were changed.
During the provision of care, EP punched the Respondent in the mouth. The hit drew blood. He then spit at the Respondent. The Respondent spit back at EP. The Respondent grabbed his mouth and left the room. The Respondent reported that he had been punched by EP.
Later, while outside on a cigarette break, the Respondent told LPN Barbara Avila
that he had spit at EP. EP later told the DPH Surveyor that the Respondent had spit at him, and that he did not retaliate because he thought the altercation had gone far enough at that point. (Testimony and Exhibits 2, 7, 11-13, and 19-21 and 24).
3. In mid-December 2006, RF was an eighty seven (87) year old male resident at
Alden Court who had undergone cranial surgery. He suffered from depression, dementia, agitation, and short term memory loss.
In mid-December 2006, the Respondent was in RF's room assisting Barbara Avila with the care of RF's roommate, HS. Suddenly, the Respondent said "watch this" to Ms. Avila. Ms. Avila observed the Respondent lean over RF, who was wearing a johnny. RF said, "leave my tit alone." (Testimony and Exhibits 2, 8, and 21).
4. The Respondent was observed touching the chest areas of both HS and RF by
CNA Donna Borges. CNA Stefanie Brizida had observed the Respondent fondle and pinch the nipples of RF with his thumb and index finger, and, she heard RF laugh when this occurred. RF then told the Respondent to stop. (Testimony and Exhibits 2, 14 and 22).
5. On December 29, 2006, RB was a female resident of Alden Court who was in
her early 90's. She suffered from post-concussive amnesia, some short-term memory loss, impaired judgment, depression, anxiety and chronic urinary tract infections. She was able to ambulate, but needed assistance with walking to the toilet. She had a habit of asking to be toileted at very frequent intervals and she often forgot when she had just finished toileting.
At approximately 6:00 PM on that date, the Respondent brought RB to the toilet.
Barbara Avila took her out. A few minutes later, she asked the Respondent to bring her to the toilet again. The Respondent replied in a loud, firm manner, "no, RB, you just went and you now need to wait until 8:00 PM". This statement was made near the nurses' station in front of other residents.
RB was initially fine with the Respondent's answer. A short time later, she
became upset at the Respondent's words and she began to cry. She reported to other CNAs in the immediate area that she was embarrassed that the Respondent had hollered at her. Another CNA took her to the bathroom ten (10) minutes later.
A couple of weeks later, RB later reported to the DPH Surveyor that the
Respondent had made her "feel like a dog", although she could not remember why he had yelled at her. The Respondent has a raspy voice. (Testimony and Exhibits 2, 10, 15, 21- 23, and 25).
After a careful review of all of the testimony and documents in this case, I
have concluded that DPH has met its burden of proving that the Respondent
was abusive toward EP and RF. There is a preponderance of evidence, including the testimony of the DON, an LPN, and the Surveyor, as well as witness statements and the Surveyor's report, that all reflect that the Respondent spit at EP in anger and that he fondled the nipples of RF on more than one occasion.
In reaching this conclusion, I have credited the testimony of the DPH witnesses,
none of whom appeared to have any hidden agenda or motive to fabricate such unusual behavior. I have also credited the statements of the residents themselves, i.e. EP's statement to the Surveyor that the Respondent spit at him and the exclamation from RF to leave his "tits" alone and to stop the nipple pinching. I have not credited the Respondent, who I find to be motivated by self interest. He flatly denied all of the allegations without proffering any viable reason for any widespread staff conspiracy against him wherein everyone but him was telling a consistent story. The picture that has emerged is that of a popular (with residents and some management) and energetic CNA who had his favorite residents, his positive references, and also had his limits and shortcomings. The
findings of abuse for the spitting and repeated nipple pinching are valid.
I have concluded that DPH has not met its burden of proving that the Respondent
neglected RB in declining to toilet her after she had just gone. He has a raspy voice and he was one of few males on staff at Alden Court. His speech could easily be interpreted as loud or scolding even if he were merely talking in a hurried, business-like tone.
RB was a depressed and anxious resident. She was more embarrassed about having been refused toileting in front of other residents. She was taken to the toilet a short time later, so she was not neglected. There is not enough evidence to suggest that this incident was the result of the Respondent's neglect. Rather, it is equally plausible that RB was overly sensitive and took his denial too personally. The finding of neglect should not be entered into the Federal Nurse Aide Registry.
So ordered.

St. Thomas skaters top No. 1 MemorialBy MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 30. 2013 8:36PM
MANCHESTER - When it comes to shots on net, it's all about quality, not quantity, for the St. Thomas Aquinas High School of Dover hockey team.
The Saints scored on four of their 15 shots, including one with 4:41 left in overtime, to rally for a 4-3 win over top-ranked Manchester Memorial in Division I action at JFK Coliseum on Wednesday night.
St. Thomas tied the game 3-3 with 42 seconds left in regulation on a goal by T.J. Boulanger, then survived a flurry of offense from the Crusaders over the first minute of overtime before Dakota Pidgeon finally scored the winner.
"The kids hung in there," St. Thomas coach Andrew Leach said. "If you watch the game you'd think the ice was tilted down at our end, but we got good goaltending and our kids stayed at it, stayed patient and took advantage of their few shots."
Memorial outshot the Saints 44-15 and dominated play for most of the game. Had it not been for St. Thomas goalie Zane Angelopoulos, the game would have been won by Memorial in regulation, but the sophomore goaltender was outstanding and finished with 41 saves.
He was clearly the difference in the game and made 19 saves in the third period to keep his team afloat.
"He did amazing," Pidgeon said of his teammate. "He kept us in the game. If it wasn't for him we would have lost probably."
The winning goal was set up with a shot from the point by Jon Douglass. Crusader goalie Joshua Jacob couldn't handle the puck and gave up a rebound to Pidgeon in front of the net.
Pidgeon lifted the puck over Jacob and into the back of the net for his second of the game.
"We had a nice shift where Jon Douglass got a shot on net and I was there for the rebound," Pidgeon said.
It was the second win in a row for the Saints over one of the best teams in the state. They beat Londonderry on Saturday and are now 7-4-1. Memorial had its six-game win streak snapped and is now 9-2.
"Offensively we didn't finish," Memorial coach Mark Putney said. "It's not who gets the most shots it's who scores the most goals."
Brady Sufat scored with 2:59 left in regulation to give the Crusaders a 3-2 lead and a ton of momentum heading into the final minutes.
Then, with just more than a minute left, Leach called a timeout just before a faceoff in his own zone. He designed a play to get the puck out of their end so he could pull the goalie, which worked, and as soon as the Saints got the puck in the Memorial zone Boulanger ripped a wrist shot from the point that beat Jacob to make it 3-3 with 42 seconds left.
Rolling just two lines the entire game in which the Crusaders continuously pounded the offensive zone, the advantage should have gone to Memorial in overtime. But the Saints seemed to have more spring in their step and capitalized when it counted most.
"In practice they're used to the reps," Leach said. "We've been playing like that all year, two maybe three lines, the kids are in pretty good shape."
After a scoreless first period, Brendan Sullivan got the Crusaders on the board when he scored at 4:48 of the second period. St. Thomas tied it up 1-1 on a goal by Jon Douglass with 7:29 left in the second and 18 seconds later Kyle Broussard gave the lead back to the Crusaders when he scored to make it 2-1.
That was the score after two periods of play. Pidgeon tied the game 2-2 with his first goal at 5:17 of the third, then Sufat and Boulanger exchanged their goals over the last three minutes of regulation to force overtime.
"Luckily we've put in two solid games in a row," Leach said. "It just shows them what they're capable of and how they can play."

One Last Name, Two Legacies
By Bob Dickson
You could say that twin sisters Ardel and Teresa Vietti, born Nov. 5 in 1927, were meant to be healers.
At age seven, they got their first look through a microscope and they were hooked. For years after that, they honed their skills splinting injured chickens from their mother's truck farm.
But they would not "practice" medicine together for long. When they were 15, sickness put a fork in their road. Ardel went one way; Teresa went the other.
One road led to decades of saving lives through children's cancer research, the other to the medical and spiritual mission fields of war-torn Vietnam.
One sister became a martyr — a prisoner of war and one of two American women to lose their lives to the Viet Cong. The other sister presses on. Today, she honors her sister with an endowment for Nyack's infant nursing program.
This is their story.
At 15, Ardel Vietti became very ill in 1942, and her mother was forced to leave Teresa in South America with her dad and travel with Ardel to the United States for treatment. It was a difficult, but necessary step along the road that God was laying out for Ardel
"She almost died," Teresa explains. "She was 15 years old at the time. She became very religious after this episode."
Ardel's brush with death brought her to the Lord. From then on, she burned with the desire to serve Him. She told her parents she wanted to be a missionary. Her parents, who had witnessed her love of medicine from an early age, suggested a compromise.
"My parents insisted she become a medical missionary," Teresa says. "They knew that with medical training she would be able to do so much more."
And so it was that both sisters attended Rice Institute in the late 40's.Teresa, who was a year ahead in school because of Ardel's illness, graduated in 1949 and continued her medical studies at Baylor, where she earned her doctorate. Ardel graduated a year later, spent a summer studying at Nyack, then earned her doctorate at the University of Texas.
After graduation, Teresa specialized in pediatric blood diseases, the worst and most common of which was cancer of the blood-forming organs (leukemia). Eventually, she became a specialist in all forms of children's cancer.
"I was looking for a challenge and I found it," she says. "We were the first on the block to study it."
Teresa's work put her on the front lines of the research that yielded much of the treatments leukemia patients receive today. Children diagnosed with this form of cancer still face a long battle, but at least they can battle now.
That is the fruit of Dr. Teresa's Vietti's work.
"We've got a long way to go," she admits. "We need a treatment that's not so poisonous, but still cures the disease. The treatment today still kills more than just the bad cells and it takes so long."
Eventually, Teresa was named head of the "Pediatric Oncology Group," an umbrella organization with more than 1,000 doctors dedicated to researching cancer.
Today, that group is known as the "Children's Oncology Group," which continues to spearhead the cancer research that gives hope to millions of children and their families.
Ardel, meanwhile, followed God's call on her life to pursue medical missionary work. After medical college, her internship, and her residency, that call led her to the Christian and Missionary Alliance and a commission to serve in the jungles of Vietnam.
"I always knew Ardel would go to some place like (Vietnam)," Teresa says. "From when she was young, she wanted to go to some distant place and take care of people."
And take care of them she did. In Vietnam, Dr. Ardel Vietti joined a staff of nine at a Leprosarium in South Vietnam, where she offered medical care to lepers from both sides of the war. She didn't see borders. She saw people — people who needed medical care and people who needed Christ.
Ardel's work in Vietnam came to a tragic end in May of 1962, when the Viet Cong entered the Leprosarium and abducted Ardel and two colleagues. Ardel was never found, and it is believed that somewhere in the heart of Vietnam, she met her Savior.
"Ardel gave her life to bring healing to people in the name of Jesus," says Michael Scales, President of Nyack College. "We are honored to help prepare others to do the same in her name."
Dr. Teresa Vietti's gift of $600,000, combined with her father's $400,000 gift to The Orchard Foundation, will create the "Dr. Vietti Distinguished Chair of Nursing" at Nyack College. The Vietti name, which has been linked with healing for decades through Teresa and Ardel, will continue forever on campus and beyond through the work of a new generation of Christian nurses.
"Going all the way back to 1882, we've had many endowed scholarships, however, this is the first endowed chair we've ever had at Nyack," Scales says. "It means our nursing program will continue until the end of the age. It means the Vietti name and commitment to healing will continue at Nyack College. This will create a legacy of healing around the world. Ardel lost her mortal life in Vietnam while serving the poor and needy. Her heart of compassion, however, will live on in the lives of our students and alumni. Dr. Teresa Vietti is making all of this possible."
"I thought we should spend it on education," Teresa Vietti says of her gift. "I wanted to give where I knew Ardel would want me too. I'm sure she'd support it. She'd think this is what I should do."

Sophomore pitcher Daniel Gossett gained confidence from his solid first year with the Tigers, and will start Friday's season-opener against William & Mary.
Clemson pitcher Daniel Gossett spent his first collegiate season like so many other freshmen, simply trying to find a niche and survive the season even as the normal first-year doubts crept in.
The former Byrnes standout proved to himself and anybody watching that he possesses the goods to be an elite pitcher, and now survival mode gives way to a highly confident sophomore.
The 20-year-old righty impressed enough to earn the role as opening day starter when the Tigers host William & Mary at 4 p.m. on Friday. It's a day Gossett has dreamed about since attending games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium when he was 8 years old.
"My parents used to get season tickets and we'd come up here as often as possible and I always wanted to be the Friday night guy," Gossett said Tuesday in meeting with the media. "I'm not saying I am going to be the Friday night guy, I'm just trying to get this first one under my belt.
"It's something I'd like to keep doing and it's a coveted spot so I know I'm going to have to keep working hard to maintain it. We've got a bunch of good guys and if I'm not doing my job and winning I will be replaced fairly quickly."
Gossett's thinking long term, but the immediate gratification of being the first arm out of the gate isn't lost on him.
"It's a huge honor and I'm trying not to think too deeply into it. I know if I get inside my own head that's where I become my own worst enemy. I'm very grateful for it. It's obviously exciting but you just have to take it as one more game. You can't think of it as something super-important but another game we need to win. It will be a typical big opening day Clemson crowd so there will be some more pressure, but I feel if I just concentrate and do my thing out there it will be a good game."
Gossett finished last season 6-3 with a 4.32 ERA while striking out a team-leading 87 in 77 innings. He started 10 games among his 19 appearances, holding opponents to a .221 batting average. A 16th-round draft selection by Boston in 2011, Gossett worked feverishly on developing his change-up to add to his impressive repertoire, but his main intention is mostly being a new man on the mental side of the equation.
Monday evening, Gossett said he laid awake in bed for three hours just envisioning what the boost in self-belief he achieved following last year's early success can mean to his overall performance. The biggest jolt came from his final outing of the season, when he held defending champion and second-ranked South Carolina to two runs on four hits while striking out eight over seven innings in a loss at the NCAA Regional.
"It's a little bit of a confidence boost knowing I've done it before so why can't I do it again," Gossett said. "It's a different attitude coming back this year. It's not the freshman attitude of how am I going to do this, how am I going to fit in. I know I can fit in, know I can stay alive, now I'm ready to compete and get things done.
"I've been thinking about the different aspects of pitching. Not just the physical or mental things, but thinking about how much attitude could help me. I've got more confident thinking about going out there and competing and not just trying to survive. That's something new I'm trying this year and hopefully it will work out for me."
It's not hard to decipher just how abundantly his confidence has grown in his quick reply to what was the biggest lesson learned as a freshman.
"I learned you can't give college hitters too much credit. I know it sounds weird or arrogant, but anybody as a pitcher you can't try and be too perfect, you've got your stuff and what makes you, you, and you just have to be confident in using that. You can't try and become something different because you're facing different-level hitters. I can see the differences in how I am now and you have to be confident. If you're up there throwing scared it will affect your mechanics and your mindset."

Optical network equipment supplier Cyan recovered early losses on its heavily traded market debut as investors look to its ability to reduce dependence on a single customer.
Nearly 3.5 million shares had been traded by 11 a.m. Pacific time, making Cyan the fifth most-traded stock on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday afternoon.
The Petaluma-based company priced 8 million shares in the offering at $11 each, the mid-point of its planned price range, giving it a market valuation of about $490 million.
CEO Mark Floyd said Cyan planned to reduce its dependence on telephone company Windstream, which accounted for about half of Cyan's revenue in 2012.
"Last year, we added 50 new customers and we expect those customers to start turning on this year," he told Reuters.
Windstream, which reported lower-than-expected first-quarter profit on Thursday, has been grappling with slowing sales at its fixed-line business. The company cut up to 400 management jobs in March and warned it may cut its 2013 capital expenditure.
Cyan, which is backed by venture capital firms Norwest Venture Partners and Azure Capital Partners, offers software-defined network services that allow change of networks and data centers, avoiding upgrades to expensive and proprietary hardware.
The potential of the nascent SDN market has attracted big names, with VMware acquiring network virtualization firm Nicira for $1.05 billion last year.
Cyan shares opened at $10.05 before recovering to trade around their IPO price.
Cyan posted a net loss of $16.6 million on revenue of $95.9 million in 2012. The company is yet to report a profit since being set up in October 2006.
Floyd said the company was going public to expand its business and boost credibility among customers.
"You don't want to be pigeon-holed as a startup company. We've been around for six years," Floyd said.

Two champions in the fight for life will be awarded the National Pro-Life Recognition Award by the National Pro-Life Religious Council. Naomi Barber King of Atlanta and the Rev. Stephen Broden of Dallas will receive the awards Monday at 8 a.m. at the 17th annual Conference for the Pre-Born and Their Mothers and Fathers, to take place in the Capitol Visitors' Center in Washington, D.C.
Mrs. King is the widow of the Rev. A.D. King, a civil rights leader and the brother of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Pastor Broden is the founder and senior pastor of Fair Park Bible Fellowship Church. Both are crusaders in the fight against the murder of unborn African-American babies.
Mrs. King's commitment to life began when she changed her mind about aborting her daughter, Dr. Alveda King, who is now the full-time director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life.
"My father-in-law, Martin Luther King Sr., told me had a vision of my child and he wanted to meet the baby girl in his vision," Mrs. King said.
At the age of 37, Mrs. King was left a widow with five children following the untimely death of her husband, who was a prominent civil rights leader in his own right.
"God gave me the strength to do all I had to after that," said the soft-spoken Atlanta resident.
For last week's observance of Martin Luther King Day, Mrs. King joined her daughter, her son, the Rev. Derek King, and Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, in signing a letter calling for equal rights and human dignity for children in the womb.
"We declare today that these children too are members of the Beloved Community, that our destiny is linked with theirs, and that therefore they deserve justice, equality and protection," the signatories wrote.
Pastor Broden is an integral member of a coalition of African-American leaders who travel from coast to coast to spread the message that the black community is a target of the abortion industry.
"The threat to our nation's liberties is perhaps greater now than at any other time in history, with the exception of those faced by our Founding Fathers," Pastor Broden said. "The systematic stripping away of babies' constitutional rights in the 21st century is unconscionable and inconsistent with the laws of nature and of nature's God.."
Pastor Broden has been actively involved in the pro-life movement since 1983 and is the chief spokesman for the African-American pro-life movement in Dallas. He is a founder of Ebony Berean, an organization whose mission includes informing African-American pastors on issues related to life, family, and political liberty. He also serves as president of the Fair Park Friendship Center, a community resource center offering assistance to area families.
An outspoken advocate in Dallas for economic opportunity, quality education and respect for life, Pastor Broden was a Republican political candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for the 30th congressional district of Texas in November.
He is married to Donna W. Broden, with whom he has three grown children: Jamaal, Maia and Stephenie.
"This award recognizes individuals who have given steadfast witness to the Biblical Christian teaching on the sanctity of life," said Father Frank Pavone, president of the National Pro-Life Religious Council. "Mrs. King and Pastor Broden are more than deserving of this award."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Water and sanitation in rural Haiti still just a trickle

Alphonsine and her three children walk over 10 hours a week just to meet their basic need for drinking water. The journey is best done in the early hours of the morning before the heat becomes unbearable.
Rural water coverage in Haiti continues to be the lowest in the Western hemisphere, with only 55% of the population having access to an improved drinking water source compared to an average of 80% for rural areas in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the latest available figures from WHO and UNICEF.

I am looking for a lightwind kite to use on my airush sector v2. I dont have a whole heap to spend with a budget of $500-$600.
I have found an 08 north rebel 16m I am interested in. My question is how does the performance of these older bigger kites compare to modern kites?
ie will an 08 16m get me out in less breeze than a 13m 2013 kite?
how much difference could I expect in bottom end between a 08 north rebel 14 and 16. I assume the 14 is quicker so it could generate more apparent than the 16 but then the 16 is bigger.
What do you think i should be looking for in a lightwind kite in that pricerange, as big as possible or as new as possible? dont worry i dont buy kites pre 2008.
Cheers Brezzo

4. Under the facts of this case, defendant's sentence became an illegal one when the trial court entered a restitution order 6 months after sentencing and 5 months after the deadline given the State to provide a restitution amount.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; WARREN M. WILBERT, judge. Opinion filed September 4, 1998. Reversed.
Ryan Kipling Elliot, assistant appellate defender, and Jessica R. Kunen, chief appellate defender, for appellant.
Doyle Baker, assistant district attorney, Nola Foulston, district attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., ELLIOTT and MARQUARDT, JJ.
ELLIOTT, J.: Susieanna D. Cooper appeals the trial court's restitution order, which was filed 6 months after sentencing.
We reverse.
Cooper pled no contest to aggravated battery. At sentencing, the State requested restitution but did not provide a specific amount. The State offered to specify the amount within 30 days, and the trial court ordered Cooper to pay restitution and ordered the State to provide the documentation supporting restitution within 30 days.
Six months later, the State moved for restitution in the amount of $4,890.86. At the hearing on the motion, the State admitted that the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) had provided a medical claim letter 3 days after sentencing and admitted it had taken no action on the letter for almost 6 months until SRS sent a letter to the Victim Witness Assistance Program. The trial court ordered Cooper to pay $2,500 in restitution as an additional condition of probation.
K.S.A. 21-4610(d)(1) allows a court to order restitution, but the court's order must specify the amount and manner of restitution, as well as name the recipient of the funds. Here, although the trial court ordered restitution, the amount and manner of restitution and the identity of the recipient were not included in the journal entry of sentencing.
Sentencing occurs when a defendant appears in open court and the judge orally pronounces the terms of the sentence. State v. Tillman, 18 Kan. App. 2d 556, 557, 858 P.2d 1219 (1993). A court has no jurisdiction to modify a sentence more than 120 days after imposition of the original sentence. State v. Hooks, 256 Kan. 869, 870, 888 P.2d 853 (1995). In the present case, the State's motion for restitution was filed beyond the 120-day jurisdictional window; the delay was caused solely by the State's failure to act on the SRS letter it had received 3 days after sentencing.
While we are not holding that a motion to modify sentence is the same as a motion for restitution, under the facts of this case, the State's motion for restitution did affect Cooper's sentence since the trial court ordered Cooper's probation to be extended until the amount was paid. The trial court's action allowed for a probation extension that could have conceivably exceeded the statutory sentencing range. This court may correct an illegal sentence at any time. K.S.A. 22-3504(1). An illegal sentence is one which is imposed by a court without jurisdiction or one which does not conform to statutory provisions. State v. Duke, 263 Kan. 193, 194, 946 P.2d 1375 (1997).
Under the facts of this case, Cooper's sentence became an illegal one when the trial court entered the restitution order 6 months after sentencing and 5 months after the deadline given the State to provide a restitution amount.

Consumer advocate groups on Monday bemoaned the further consolidation of the telecommunications industry in the wake of AT&T's announcement that it plans to acquire El Segundo-based DirecTV for more than $48 billion.
In February, Comcast announced its plans to acquire Time Warner Cable, which would merge the two largest U.S. Internet providers that together account for nearly a third of the broadband Internet market. The legality of that deal is still undergoing regulatory review.
The AT&T-DirecTV merger, which also must be approved by regulators, is something of a double-edged sword. The deal reduces the number of telecom companies out there, but it also may create a more formidable opponent to the Comcast behemoth.
"The industry needs more competition, not more mergers," John Bergmayer, senior staff attorney at the consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge, said in a statement. Does "AT&T plan to frame this as allowing it to compete more effectively with Comcast? If so, that is yet another reason why policymakers should be skeptical of the pending Comcast/Time Warner Cable transaction."
Other analysts see the proposed merger as a necessary move for two companies struggling to adapt to a rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape.
"DirecTV is seeing the grim reaper on the horizon, as viewing habits are changing and linear (scheduled) television is going to die," said Roger Entner, an analyst with the market research firm Recon Analytics.
DirecTV's 20 million customers and valuable content agreements will allow AT&T to expand its pay-TV service, U-verse, which has only about 6 million subscribers. DirecTV's television content agreements also will allow the company to bundle services, which generally means lower prices, Entner said.
U-verse is available in 22 states, while DirecTV reaches a national audience. The two services overlap in about 25 percent of households, which means competition will be curtailed in those areas. To assuage consumer concerns that less local competition might lead to higher prices, both companies have promised that DirecTV's local TV service fees will not rise above nationwide prices for at least three years.
AT&T also will continue to offer Internet-only service for three years, so as not to force Netflix and Hulu fans into paying for DirecTV.
AT&T has about 11.3 million Internet subscribers, or about a third of what Comcast-Time Warner Cable would have. But the company says it plans to bring high-speed broadband to 15 million more homes within the next four years by reinvesting the $1.6 billion it plans to save each year after the merger.
Streaming video wirelessly also is in the cards. AT&T Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said in a prepared statement Sunday that the company plans to offer "new bundles and deliver content to consumers across multiple screens — mobile devices, TVs, laptops, cars and even airplanes."
AT&T's broadband and wireless delivery methods offer a much-needed outlet for DirecTV, which delivers video content via satellites and does not offer Internet connection.
"AT&T is really, in effect, buying an older technology, a 20th century innovation in the 21st century," said Harold Vogel, CEO of Vogel Capital Management and author of the book "Entertainment Industry Economics."
Vogel believes AT&T should have bought Dish Network, the No. 2 satellite provider in the U.S., because it owns at least $9 billion in rights to spectrum satellite airwaves, which could be used to bolster wireless networks.
But DirecTV does bring a cachet of film and sports channels, including "Sunday Ticket," which provides live coverage of every sabbath-day NFL football. Sunday Ticket — launched in 1994, the same year DirecTV went live — allows fans to watch nonlocal games from the comfort of their homes, and helped DirecTV get on the telecommunications map.
DirecTV pays the NFL $1 billion per season for broadcasting rights, but the league reportedly plans to raise its price. The current contract extends through next season and negotiations are ongoing.
Another blip on DirecTV's otherwise impressive roster of channels is access to Los Angeles Dodgers games, which Time Warner Cable has purchased for $8.35 billion over the next 25 years. DirecTV says Time Warner is asking too much for access to its SportsNet LA channel and claims the telecom giant is getting between Dodger fans and their games.
"We want to work with Time Warner Cable to free these same passionate fans to get the games at the best value, while also allowing casual fans and those who don't watch sports the simple power to choose whether to pay record fees for these games or not," a post on DirecTV's website reads.
AT&T hopes to close a deal with DirecTV within the next 12 months, but, like the Comcast-Time Warner merger, the plans are subject to regulatory approval.
Meanwhile, Sprint is actively working to acquire T-Mobile, which would give the company 104 million total subscribers, and put it in the running with Verizon Wireless as the second largest wireless carrier in the country.
Vogel believes the concern that these mergers will lead to higher prices for consumers is misplaced.
"You can Skype from anywhere. That's a problem for the telecoms. Cable cutters, and never-cord young people," Vogel said. "The pressure is building for cable companies and telecoms to reduce prices."
Jonathan Taplin, a communications and digital media professor at USC's Annenberg School, agrees that the controversy surrounding the mergers is overblown. In his view, the DirecTV deal makes sense for the two companies, and nothing will change for the average consumer.
"We've lived in a telecom media duopoly for a long time," he said. "I don't know why people are only waking up to it today.
"The only hope is that the city will begin to deliver fiber to the home. That would be the biggest difference."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is a Terrible Person If He Doesn't Say Yes to the Girl With Cancer
Meet Lindsey Miller. At 26, Lindsey has been living with cancer for over a year. After seeing 50/50, about a young man diagnosed with cancer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who coincidentally stars in all of the posters on my bedroom wall), she has decided that she's ready to get back in the dating game.
Oh come on JGL, it's just one cup of coffee!
And you know what, I bet he says yes to her. Like the Marine Corps Ball ask-outs that went viral last July, these are successful because they absolutely have to be. If Gordon-Levitt turns this girl down, he's a total dick. A dick who knows how to wear a suit, sure, but a dick nonetheless. And with the Internet being what it is, he can't play coy and pretend he hasn't seen the video and just ignore its very existence. Also, this is cancer we're talking about. High stakes. This isn't just a cute girl with a penchant for dreamy, charming men with perfect bone structure and mischievously glittering eyes. Here is a girl who was profoundly moved by something that he, an artiste, made. Isn't that what this whole crazy circus is about anyway? Making things that inspire and connect with people? I think nine out of ten Vanity Fair profiles would agree that yes, that is exactly what these guys are supposed to be about.
So what's it gonna be, Joseph Gordon-Levitt? How's about that cup of coffee? Have your PR team call
me her and set something up!

Antec Fusion Black 430 Media Center Case & A/V Cooler Review
That's a sweet receiver! This popular compliment has been directed at me ever since I got the all-new Antec Fusion Black 430 Media Center case. Right here and now I'm going to dispel the rumor – this case is actually a home theater PC enclosure. These types of cases typically eliminate some hardware that you use in your home theater setup since the computer that goes inside the cases are capable of the tasks that one or more of those components in your home theater system can produce. We also have Antec's A/V Cooler to go along with the case for better cooling of the media center components. These products are sold separately, but they go hand-in-hand, so let's see just how much of a benefit it is to have the A/V Cooler along with the case. How optimal will the case be for a media center PC? Will it be able to efficiently cool the components, muffle the noise of the computer, and have very useful features? Let's find out just how well the Antec Fusion Black 430 Media Center case, paired with the Antec A/V Cooler, does.
"Antec, Inc., is the leading global brand of high-performance computer components and accessories for the gaming, PC upgrade and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) markets. Founded in 1986, Antec is recognized as a pioneer in these industries and has maintained its position as a worldwide market leader and international provider of efficient, quiet, and reliable products. Antec has also achieved great success in the distribution channel, meeting the demands of quality-conscious system builders, VARs and integrators."
Closer Look:
When UPS left the box on my doorstep, I bent down expecting a fairly light box but I was wrong – I knew from the weight that the case was made of steel. The box has a very simple yet professional look to it while displaying the front of the case. The back of the box has the specifications printed out in three different languages.
On the sides of the box you'll find a statement from Antec alerting you what this case provides, and you'll also find a picture of the actual case with its top off so that you can see what it looks like on the inside.
When you open up the box, you'll see that the case is securely held in place with Styrofoam and has a plastic bag over the case to protect it from scratches and debris. Included with the case is an instruction manual, a three year warranty, and a software CD for the LCD panel on the case.
Now let's get the case out of the box and take a closer look at it!

text: We have had a pretty rough time since the beginning that started with a poor latch. After we fixed that we had multiple reoccurances of thrush which made both of us miserable. We finally seem to have gotten rid of the thrush about a month ago. We were ok for a few weeks and now he is killing me again and its not thrush this time. The latch looks ok but something he is doing is leaving my nipples really sore. He kneads me like a kitten would but he has always done that and its never been a problem. All I know is now its really starting to hurt during feedings not just after. I am not sure what I can do to fix this. I've tried paying more attention to latching again and taking him off and relatching when it hurts. But like I said it looks fine and all it does is make him freak out. Any ideas on what it could be?

PORTSMOUTH, Va. – With the HMS Bounty taking on water and the decision to abandon ship in the middle of Hurricane Sandy nearing, Capt. Robin Walbridge gathered the crew to ask the same question federal officials are now investigating: What exactly went wrong?
"He asked for some brainstorming. At what point did we lose control? I don't know that anybody had many ideas," the ship's boatswain, Laura Groves, told a federal safety panel at a Virginia hotel on Friday.
One member of the 18th-century replica ship's crew died and Walbridge was never found after the ship sank about 90 miles off Cape Hatteras, N.C. during the October "superstorm."
The three-mast sailing ship was built for the 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty" starring Marlon Brando, and was featured in several other films over the years, including one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
Officials from the Coast Guard and the National Transportation Safety Board are holding eight days of hearings to determine what caused it to sink and to make recommendations to prevent similar deaths.
"The only thing that was clear is that there was an open seam in the engine room above the water line in the portside. You could hear water coming in when we rolled," Groves said. A boatswain is in charge of a ship's deck crew.
The ship had been taking on water as its pumps failed, had no engine power and was headed directly in the path of the hurricane when the ship rolled and tossed the crew into the Atlantic Ocean.
Groves and Daniel Cleveland, the Bounty's third mate, testified that getting into a life raft once they were in the water was difficult and that they were injured while trying to escape the ship.
Other crew members were seen holding onto wooden pieces of the ship to stay afloat before they could find and get into a raft.
All 14 surviving crew members are scheduled to testify, as well as others in the tall ship industry who decided not to leave port during the storm.
Officials at the Maine shipyard that did repair work on the Bounty in the weeks before the storm have testified that parts of the ship's frame were rotted, but not replaced.
Testimony is scheduled to last through Thursday.

While food trucks have become wildly popular in Jacksonville in recent years, on the other side of the ditch, they've not been so welcome. But last week, after a two-year campaign by food-truck advocates, the Jacksonville Beach City Council finally agreed to allow the trucks to operate within city limits, at least during a 14-month pilot program.
There are limitations: Food trucks have to get permission from property owners to set up shop (they can't use vacant or noncommercial land), and they can't do so within 100 feet of brick-and-mortar restaurants. They have to apply for a permit at City Hall and pay an annual business tax ($79.20). They have to shut down by 3 a.m., or by 10 p.m. if they're close to residential properties.
But at least it's something. "There is so much creativity coming out of these food trucks, and there is some really, really good food," says Councilwoman Chris Hoffman, who championed the food truck cause.
She's right — and I've tasted it firsthand. On The Fly Sandwiches 'n' Stuff chef Andrew Ferenc serves freshly seared ahi tuna over crunchy napa cabbage slaw that's topped with pickled ginger and a sweet chili sauce. Chew Chew has a flavor-packed Korean short rib melt with smoked provolone and diced kimchi slaw. And just last week I tried beet fries (yes, that's a thing) from Funkadelic. Verdict? Delicious. And it's just the beginning. Jax Beach residents will soon have all kinds of innovative culinary options to choose from, and that has foodies like me chomping at the bit.
(Disclosure: My fiancé Mike Field and I manage the Jax Truckies Facebook group.)
That's because food trucks offer room for experimentation. Consider this: Long-time Beaches resident John Stanford and his brother Jeff opened a food truck in the summer of 2012 in an effort to get the name of their then-under-construction brick-and-mortar restaurant, The Salty Fig (now The Blind Fig), out to the masses. The Blind Fig's wildly popular pork belly and fried oyster sandwich first debuted on the food truck. Now it's served in the restaurant, as are other items that got their start on board. One of the best things about a truck is that chefs can change the menu frequently, since they're not buying in bulk like at a restaurant.
"Our customers aren't looking for the restaurant experience," says Patrick O'Grady, who opened Driftwood BBQ truck in 2011. "They're looking for a good, quick meal."
Driftwood is one of my favorite BBQ trucks. The ribs are so perfectly tender and seasoned that I've placed two separate catering orders for mass quantities for a picnic and a retirement party. When people ask where they're from (as they lick their fingers clean), I give props not to some well-established joint with white tablecloths and a highbrow whiskey selection, but to a humble food truck.
"There's a synergy that's created when you put trucks' and restaurants' strengths together," John Stanford says. "Some people fear the food trucks will take away job opportunities and sales revenue [from nearby restaurants]. But really, the guys and gals operating these trucks are all local people looking to start their own kitchens and design their own menus and concept without the huge cost of building out a full-scale restaurant. I think there is a market for every kind of kitchen.
"It just gives more options but doesn't mean the brick-and-mortars should fear that. Competition is healthy in any industry, [and] gives the businesses even more of a reason to produce a better product and continue evolving."
Competition does make the world go 'round — and the foodie world is no different. If you own a hot dog shop and feel threatened by a taco truck, step up your game, or at least embrace the fact that not everyone wants to eat hot dogs all the time. I predict we'll soon see an increase in innovative choices available all around the beaches, providing a bigger assortment of options to residents and tourists alike.

Jon Gosselin continues to drop some bombshells in his recent verbal lashing of his estranged wife, Kate Gosselin.
In more of his interview with ABC News, Jon continues to trash Kate, claiming she took his wedding ring, may have had an affair with her bodyguard, and saying he despises her.
The Jon & Kate Plus 8 dad accuses Kate, 34, of "feeding into the frenzy" by appearing on magazine covers bashing him. "I despise [her] because she's not speaking from the heart," Jon tells ABC News. "Please — the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV."
Jon also slams Kate for claiming she still wears her wedding ring because she doesn't want to "upset" their eight children. Says Jon, "I think she still wears the ring for public perception. I don't wear my ring because she took my ring. I don't have it. " He continues. "I laid it down one night. It was gone. Who else would take it? I checked all the — underneath my kids' pillows. That's where everything ends up in the house anyway. So it wasn't there."
Jon goes on to speculate that Kate might have had an affair with her bodyguard, Steve Neild. "I speculate, but I don't know — that's a general feel. You know, almost like when they were traveling together, I felt jealous," he said. "Here, I'm Mr. Mom. And then there's some other guy traveling with my wife. Whether it's protection or not, it's all in — it's in the back of my mind." Kate has always denied the affair rumors.
In a statement to ABC News, Kate attempts to take the high road saying: "While I certainly have a very different perception of how our marriage dissolved, for the sake of my children I maintain that I'm not going to go into details of aspects I believe should remain private."

Kerry: US wants no confrontation with Russia
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the United States is not looking for a confrontation with Russia, where admitted NSA leaker Edward Snowden is believed to be hiding.
Speaking at a news conference in Saudi Arabia, Kerry said it's true that the United States does not have an extradition treaty with Russia but called on Moscow to comply with common law practices between countries where fugitives are concerned.
"There are standards of behavior between sovereign nations. There is common law," Kerry said. "There is respect for rule of law and we would simply call on our friends in Russia to respect the fact that a partner nation — a co-member of the permanent five of the United Nations — has made a normal request under legal systems."
Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, earlier Tuesday bluntly rejected U.S. demands for Snowden, saying the American hadn't crossed the Russian border.
Lavrov insisted that Russia had nothing to do with him or his travel plans.
Washington does not need a fight with Moscow at a time when U.S.-Russian relations are strained over Syria. Kerry and Lavrov are to meet next week at a Southeast Asia security conference in Brunei.
Kerry, however, said the U.S. continues to hope that if Snowden is in Russia, that Moscow would turn him over to American authorities. He noted that in the past two years, the U.S. transferred seven people to Russia at Moscow's request. Kerry said the U.S. did so "without any clamor, without any rancor, without any arguments."
Kerry said, "I would simply appeal for calm and reasonableness. We would hope that Russia would not side with someone who is a fugitive' from justice."
"They certainly can allow him to be subject to the laws and our constitution of which he is a citizen of, and that's what we call on him to do. We're not looking for a confrontation," Kerry said. "We are not ordering anybody."
"We don't need to raise the level of confrontation over something that's frankly as basic and normal as this," he said.
Snowden is a former CIA employee who later was hired as a contractor for the NSA. In that job, he gained access to documents that he gave to newspapers the Guardian and The Washington Post to expose what he contends are privacy violations by an authoritarian government.

Back in March, Karen B. London wrote about her surprise finding a dog on a nearby roof. While I've never seen a dog on a house roof, I've seen plenty of dogs atop apartment roof decks and terraces. Given the size of New York buildings, it makes me a little nervous.
Anytime I've had my pups on a roof deck, I clutch their leashes with a tight grip, just in case. I'm always worried about dogs accidentally jumping over the wall or slipping through the fence bars. But it never occurred to me that Mother Nature could be a factor.
Earlier this month, Sarann Lindenauer discovered just how dangerous her terrace could be, no matter how high the barrier. On a blustery day, her terrier, Alfie, was blown off their 11th floor terrace. Luckily, the wind also blew Alfie towards the roof of a townhouse, five stories below and 30 feet east of their terrace.
The wind might be a freak accident, and you can't quite plan for every possible danger, but there are some steps you can take to be sure your deck is as safe as possible. Check out The Partnership for Animal Welfare's Deck and Balcony Tips. And perhaps check the weather before letting your pup outside.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
As the Iran nuclear crisis lingers, international experts and think tanks have again taken to speculating over Israel's supposed nuclear arsenal.
A report recently published by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists concluded that Israel possesses 80 functional nuclear warheads, and has enough fissile material to at least double that number if it sees fit.
For the time being, the researchers believe Israel is content with its current nuclear arsenal, and that the Jewish state ceased building additional warheads in 2004.
Also notable is that the report lists Israel's nuclear arsenal as "Deployed Warheads" rather than "Stockpiled Warheads," suggesting that the weapons are poised and ready for use at a moment's notice.
Israel has never officially commented on whether or not it actually possesses nuclear weapons, but previous assessments by American intelligence also pegged the Israeli nuclear arsenal at around 80 warheads.
By comparison, India and Pakistan are both estimated to possess 100-120 nuclear warheads each.

A big thankyou to more of Santa's elves
A big thankyou to more of Santa's elves
How quickly the holiday season comes upon us. Then poof, it's over.
But, wow, it takes an endless team of volunteers working as individuals and in numerous groups and committees over many weeks to make it all happen.
I would like to extend a big thank-you to those individuals that helped me with the several pieces of "Christmas in Jamestown" that I chaired:
• Community tree cutting, transport and setup — Matt Largess, Steve Munger, Mark Baker, Steve Froberg, Mike Clark, Doug Chapman, and Dick Wing.
• Santa arrives by boat — Dick Allphin, Mo Mancini, Patti Campo, Agnes Filkins, Jim Filkins, Charlie Petit, Martina Baugh, and elves Sam Baugh, Dylan Rezendes, D. J. Lathan, Hailey Gardner, and all our other anonymous elves.
• Harbor Fire — Rick Anderson, Jack Brittain, Will Tuthill, Brian Campbell, Mike Swistak, Barbara Szepatowski, and the hauling crew at Conanicut Marine.
• Pageant manger construction — Dick Wing, Dave Swain, and Matt Largess.
• Shoreby Hill tree and pageant lighting — Rick Anderson, Jill Anderson, Jack's Electric Crew, May Munger, and Pres Froberg.
Finally, I expect that you will see many of these same folks taking all of this down and putting it away somewhere for next year. Thank you all.
Bill Munger, Jamestown

For a long time I used to go to bed early. Unbidden by my parents I'd hurry up the stairs to my room, turn out the light, burrow beneath the covers, reach under the bed for the flashlight and then, safe where I'd left it the night before, the latest issue of Superman or Batman. Proust can keep his madeleines. For me, nothing brings back that childhood sensation of safety, or the inky smell of clandestine pleasure, quite like Batman No. 166, "Two-Way Deathtrap!" in which the caped crime fighter, confiding the details of a nightmare to Robin, is overheard by a villain who proceeds to turn Batman's fevered dream into deadly reality. Or the next issue, No. 167, with "Zero Hour for Earth"–a "book-length spy-thriller" in which Batman jets off to fight the criminal organization Hydra.
I was 7 years old, undergoing weekly chemotherapy at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The side effects of the treatment were unpleasant, and since I couldn't keep down an ice cream cone or a slice of pie, my parents would give me a quarter to spend on comic books. At 12 cents apiece, it didn't take long to amass a considerable library of my favorites; even now I can remember Batman's narrow escape from the Deathtrap and the temple that, in retrospect, must have been based on Angkor Wat–in 1964 Cambodia was a peaceful haven. And though I long ago moved on to other forms of escapist entertainment, I still know more about Superman's double life than I'd care to admit.
Why? Because there was always something slightly shameful about comics. "Yellow journalism" was originally "Yellow Kid Journalism"–a reference to the nightshirt-wearing protagonist of "Hogan's Alley," a comic strip that began in 1896 in the pages of Joseph Pulitzer's New York World and ran until the kid's creator, Richard Outcault, was lured away by William Randolph Hearst. In the 1920s and '30s, even before comic strips migrated from the daily newspaper or the Sunday "rotogravure" section to proper comic books, comic heroes and heroines were being drafted into "Tijuana Bibles"–eight-page pornographic pamphlets featuring familiar characters like Wimpy and Olive Oyl or Maggie and Jiggs in unfamiliar postures. "Without the Tijuana Bibles there would never have been a Mad magazine," Art Spiegelman has observed, adding, "Looking back from the present, a time simultaneously more liberated and more repressed than the decades that came before, it's difficult to conjure up the anarchic depth-charge of the Forbidden that those little dirty comics once carried." Throw in the notion that superhero comics are essentially kid stuff, and the equally widespread certainty–until recently a truth universally acknowledged–that comic books were irredeemably lowbrow in conception and execution, and there were reasons to be abashed.

STOCKTON - The Pacific men's water polo team was as good as advertised in its first match of the 2013 season.
STOCKTON - The Pacific men's water polo team was as good as advertised in its first match of the 2013 season.
The Tigers, ranked fifth in the country in the first Collegiate Water Polo Association poll and picked to finish in the third place by Mountain Pacific Sports Federation coaches behind five-time defending national champion USC and Stanford, was utterly dominant against No. 18 Santa Clara, winning 19-7 before about 250 spectators at Chris Kjeldsen Pool. As a nod to heightened expectations, coach James Graham focused on the few mistakes the Tigers (1-0) made against the Broncos (0-1).
"The whole team did what it was asked, but we have to tighten up the screws a little bit," Graham said. "There was a lot offensively we can build on, but our tempo and movement left a lot to be desired. Also, we need better organization on defense."
Senior Balasz Erdelyi, the reigning national player of the year, caused fits for Santa Clara's defense, scoring three of his game-high seven goals in the first period as the Tigers (1-0) jumped out to a 5-2 lead. It was 10-5 at halftime before Pacific put it away by outscoring the Broncos 5-0 in the third period.
"It was great, because we came out and showed the high level of play we expected of ourselves," Erdelyi said. "We will need to play even better against the better teams."
Junior Alex Obert and sophomore Kristian Laczkovics had three goals apiece for Pacific as it pressured Santa Clara's defense the entire match, frustrating three different goalkeepers. Redshirt senior Balazs Szabo, a 2011 All-American, had two goals in his return to the pool for Pacific, while Sean Grady, Casey Fleming and Ben Stevenson scored a goal apiece. Senior goalkeeper Alex Malkis made 13 saves for Pacific, which will participate in the Brown Invitational beginning next Saturday.
Erdelyi said it was important to begin the season on such a positive note in front of a larger-than-usual crowd.
"It was nice to see that people at Pacific and Stockton are supporting us like they said they would," Erdelyi said. "They were like the 12th man in the pool for us."
