Mazda is ready to unveil its new generation Mazda3 next year. With design inspired by the newly launched Mazda6 and built on the Ford Focus platform, the future Mazda3 will be a family car that should still keep the driver entertained.
Under the hood there will be a wide range of Ford engines, with output ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 liters and diesels from 1.6 to 2.2 liters. The car will also loose some weight, so it will have improved performance.
A faster MPS version is also in the works. It will get the same five-cylinder turbo engine from the Focus ST that should produce around 250 hp.

Adding a Little Love to your Nest
Blessed Little Nest
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, have you wondered how you could add a little love to your nest without it looking like an elementary school project? Me too. Luckily, I found just the inspiration I was looking for. Read more about my latest crush…
I am completely enamored with what Heather from Blessed Little Nest created in her entryway. I love her use of predominantly black and white accents set against the crimson backdrop . Even if your space isn't painted deep red, I think the overall theme can work in many settings.
Here are a few tips on how to get your love project started:
1. Find art that you "LOVE".
Etsy has some wonderful "love-themed" posters, like this favorite from The Love Shop.
2. Enlarge a favorite photo.
I recently had some black and white photos enlarged to 24"x30" at Kinkos and the quality was pretty amazing for spending less than $20 each.
3. Frame a beloved card.
Artwork in varied sizes makes this arrangement. Dig through your stash of favorite greeting cards or find somthing else petite that inspires you.
4. Find your inner love.
Your "wall of love" should have meaning to you and make you happy. Find things that make you smile and group them together for a quick love fix.
Check out Blessed Little Nest for more lovely ideas and inspiration. Thanks Heather!

Image Gallery JS components not loading on pages
4 February 2010 at 12:39pm
I'm having an issue where the Image Gallery js files for the chosen lightbox, etc. are not getting appended to the generated pages. Clicking on an gallery thumb just opens the full-size version in a new window.
As a work around, I've placed calls to the necessary js files at the end of my page.ss template. This allows the lightbox function to work, but it's an undesirable workaround.
I've also noticed that js files from other modules, such as the Thickbox module, are not being called either. Am I missing somthing? I've placed the module folders in the site root, named them correctly, done a dev/build?flush=1 as per the instructions. Any help is very welcome.
Re: Image Gallery JS components not loading on pages

Is the module in a directory named "image_gallery"? or is it another name? For the files to be found, you must name your module directory "image_gallery"
Re: Image Gallery JS components not loading on pages
5 February 2010 at 7:04am
Thanks for giving me some help:)
The module directory is indeed named "image_gallery". I made sure of that when this first happened.
Oddly, the gallery seems to work perfectly with the blackcandy template engaged, but not my new template. I've tried identifying the code difference between my template and the default one, but neither the main page.ss or layout page.ss have any differences, other than the layout structure.
I've noticed that in the generated code, the script calls show up between the last </div> and </body>. What's the mechanism for calling them there, that I don't see in the template .ss files?
The fact that the Image Gallery module works fine with the default template indicates that the installation is fine. I know I'm missing something in my template, but i don't know enough about how the js files get called to identify what it is.

Here's a link to the gallery:
To get the gallery working, I pasted the following four lines of code into my page.ss file at the end:
<script src="/image_gallery/javascript/imagegallery_init.js?m=1251465430" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/image_gallery/gallery_ui/fancybox/javascript/jquery.fancybox-1.0.0.js?m=1251465396" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/image_gallery/gallery_ui/fancybox/javascript/jquery.pngFix.pack.js?m=1251465401" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/image_gallery/gallery_ui/fancybox/javascript/fancybox_init.js?m=1252375526" type="text/javascript"></script>
Thanks for taking a look.

I have installed SS version 2.4.2, and I was having trouble showing my image gallery in the front page because jquery and prototype weren't loading correctly, so I changed these two lines in image_gallery/code/ImageGalleryPage.php (function starts at line 247):
private static function prototype2jquery() {
Hope that helps someone.
Re: Image Gallery JS components not loading on pages
27 September 2010 at 1:52am
That function hasn't existed in a long time. Where did you get this from? Line 247 of ImageGalleryPage.php is this:
protected function Items($limit = null) {
if($limit === null && $this->MediaPerPage ) {
if( !isset($_REQUEST['start']) || ! is_numeric( $_REQUEST['start'] ) )
$_REQUEST['start'] = 0;
$limit = $_REQUEST['start'] . "," . $this->MediaPerPage;

He's vowed to sign into law the onerous "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" – a bill he freely admits that he has not read – that would permit doctors to withhold information from patients, force women to hear the fetal heartbeat prior to an abortion procedure, and contains the absolutely bananas provision that would require doctors to lie to women by telling them that abortions would increase the risk of breast cancer.
By Thursday, all of the comments from the "sarcasm bombing" had been scrubbed from Brownback's Facebook wall, though RH Reality Check grabbed a couple of screenshots of the page:

NYC-based Mick Boogie, known for his eclectic DJ sets and amazing mixtapes, is also an avid basketball fan and a video game junkie. With the recent return of the classic 90's arcade game NBA JAM (now refreshed and remixed for 2010), Mick was inspired to put together a mixtape of classic and rare 90's remixes that serve as the soundtrack to where we were back in the day. Being that NBA JAM dropped in 1993… Mick's decision to call the mix "93 Til' Infinity" was the only appropriate choice!
In addition to the mixtape, Mick collaborated with vintage t-shirt designers Homage to create a limited edition NBA JAM/93 Til Infinity inspired tee to celebrate the release of this mix and the videogame. You can find the shirt here.

A Tribe Called Quest is one of my favorite groups of all time… in any genre of music. After seeing Michael Rapaport's amazing documentary on the group (click here), I felt inspired to put together a special Tribe mix and this is the end result.
This is NOT a greatest hits mix. This mix is for the true Tribe fans only… the die-hards who know every lyric and remember every interlude.
I thought it would be cool to basically create the "lost" Tribe album… with all the rare songs, demos, limited-edition remixes, and collaborations you may have missed over the years. I hope when you enjoy this as much as I do, and hear some things you have never heard before.
Special thank you to UNDRCRWN for the amazing artwork. Long live A Tribe Called Quest!

Mick Boogie x Beastie Boys - Grand Royal [Mixtape]
In honor of the Beastie Boys being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last week… I thought it's finally the right time to do a Beasties mixtape. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time… something people have asked me to do for a long time, actually… but I wanted it to mean something. Now, it's finally the right time.
I present to you Grand Royal. 80 minutes of my favorite Beastie Boys rarities, remixes, demos, live versions, out-takes, and more. If you're a Beasties fan, I guarantee you find something new and exciting on this mix!
Being that this mix is so important to me, I wanted to make it extra special. Something beyond just an audio experience. I called my friend Jonathan Mannion, the legendary photographer (Jay-Z's first four albums, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Nas, Aaliyah, the list goes on and on), and we decided to re-shoot the iconic cover from the Beastie's 1989 classic Paul's Boutique.

trademark wars

Taylor Swift gets unlucky in law with "Lucky 13": America's sweetheart and her besties at American Greetings are battling it out in the courtroom with California-based Blue Sphere Inc. over trademark infringement and unfair competition for use of the name "Lucky 13," which AG used for a Swiftian sweepstakes promotion. Blue Sphere owns a company called Lucky 13, and holds registered trademarks bearing the name for clothing, jewelry and paper products. The judge dismissed Swift and AG's singing for summary judgment, so the case will move forward, and in a Swift-like way, she'll probably just "shake it off, shake it off."
Apple keeps USPTO busy: Between filing trademark applications for Apple Watch and Apple Pay, and patents for CarPlay, Touch ID and Deep Audio among others, Apple has been busy on the IP front. Apple Watch and Apple Pay came as a surprise, as the media-coined names "iWatch" and "iPay" never came to fruition. And yet, even though Apple Watch and Apple Pay are descriptive of the goods and services with which they seek registration, a no-no in the trademark registration world, they just may be able to see it through. By filing for design mark with their Apple logo, and disclaiming any right to use the words "PAY" or "WATCH," they have added a distinction to the marks.Continue reading...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off in October and it appears that at least one brand will be using it to punish the NFL for its role in an ongoing player misconduct controversy.
P&G's Crest brand has pulled out of A Crucial Catch, the league's breast cancer awareness initiative with the American Cancer Society, CBS Sports reports, in the wake of the domestic violence accusations and criticism of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The brand planned to have one player on each team acting as an ambassador and wearing a pink mouthguard while also engaging with fans on social media. While Crest's involvement with the campaign is no more, P&G says it still intends to donate the funds to cancer research on its own.
The decision came after the league was widely criticized for its handling of the suspension of Ray Rice for domestic violence, an incident that had a snowball effect on players and teams throughout the league. Radisson Hotels has suspended its sponsorship of the Minnesota Vikings after Adrian Peterson was arrested for reckless child injury. This all happened, the Sacramento Bee notes, the same week the league released a report that "shows one of four players will develop neurological disease during his career."Continue reading...

Microbeads are part of many American's morning hygiene rituals, but what consumers may not know is that those very beads are, made of polypropylene or polyethylene, widely used in plastic shopping bags, are harming wildlife and are polluting food systems and waterways.
Washed down bathroom drains, the beads, which don't dissolve, evade treatment plant filters and absorb toxins from pollutants like pesticides, oil and flame-retardants causing toxic run-off into large bodies of water like the Great Lakes, which contain 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water.
L'Oreal and Procter & Gamble both market products with microbeads and two Colgate brands, Max Clean and Max Clean Smart Foam, also contain them. Now, Procter & Gamble, maker of Crest, has pledged to eliminate microbeads from its toothpastes Pro Health and 3D White lines by March 2016.
"While the ingredient in question is completely safe, approved for use in foods by the FDA, and part of an enjoyable brushing experience for millions of consumers with no issues, we understand there is a growing preference for us to remove this ingredient. So we will," the company said in a statement.Continue reading...

Google and automakers are pursuing somewhat different visions of what "self-driving cars" mean, but each side is going all-out to execute their strategy, and the end result is likely to be mostly autonomous vehicles within several years.
Each week brings new developments that seem to bring this new horizon forward but at the same time sharpen the distinctions between how the tech giant is approaching this vast new arena of commercial possibility and how the auto industry's traditional players are.
This week, for example, Audi and Mercedes-Benz as well as Google received the first permits issued by the state of California for testing of self-driving cars on all of the Golden State's roadways. The permits are designed to help keep California the inarguable bellwether of new automotive technology as it has been for decades in prompting improvements in fuel economy and emissions controls.Continue reading...

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are Oklahoma City's two best players. They made All-Star teams and All-NBA teams last year. But the Thunder's James Harden is emerging this season as a possible third All-Star on the roster.
Harden is second in the Western Conference among shooting guards in PER. His 23.84 PER rating this season is second behind only Kobe Bryant (26.44).
Harden is averaging 16.8 points per game, 3.3 assists per game and 4.1 rebounds per game this season. He's shooting 48 percent from the field, 40 percent from three and 87 percent from the line while getting to it 6.5 times per game.
Harden is much better when playing at home however. In the same amount of minutes (29), Harden is averaging 19.8 points per game at home while just 14.0 on the road. He's shooting 55 percent at home and dropping down to 39.5 percent away from home.
Harden is also attempting one free throw per game more at home and averaging 2.2 more assists per game.
The Sixth Man of the Year award race might as well already be done. Harden has pretty much wrapped it up. Does he to deserve to be an All-Star?
The West is full of great point guards but you would expect only three would make the team. Maybe Westbrook, Chris Paul and Steve Nash will be selected.
Kobe is also a shoe-in which leaves most likely one other guard from the West to make the team. With Manu Ginobili hurt, Harden may be the next choice. Monta Ellis is really the only other competition at shooting guard to make the team but I think as of right now, Harden would get the nod.
The only thing that could stand in his way is if the West selects another point guard or possibly another forward to make the team which is entirely possible. There are a lot of deserving power forwards in the conference this year as well (Blake Griffin, Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki).
One thing is for sure though, Harden is having a breakout season and could become the X-factor that leads Oklahoma City to an NBA Finals appearance.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City's firefighting staff would fall to the lowest number since 1980 while its police force would be cut back to its 1992 roster under Mayor Michael Bloomberg's austere budget plan, a report said Friday.
Bloomberg, who has ordered 10 rounds of budget cuts since 2007, pins the city's fiscal health and its future on ensuring its residents' safety and improving public school education.
Budget cuts risk imperiling these priorities, reducing the number of firefighting staff to 10,282, and the number of uniformed police officers to 34,413. Bloomberg's $65 billion budget plan also includes just under 5,000 teacher layoffs.
"The city's ability to deliver needed and expected services while maintaining budget balance may be severely tested if state and federal cutbacks continue to mount," the Independent Budget Office's report said.
The study outlined the harsh fiscal realities driving service cuts, noting that the city has only won back about half of the 131,700 private sector jobs lost during the recession.
"The report shows the mayor has been making the hard decisions necessary to keep a balanced budget and that we face a very difficult road ahead," a mayoral spokesman said.
Thanks to low interest rates and the federal bailout, Wall Street, the city's most important economic pillar, has enjoyed a surprisingly swift and strong return to profitability.
However, that has not been the case for this industry's revenue, the fiscal monitor's report said.
Noting that Wall Street's 2009 revenue was just under $161 billion -- less than half of the $350 billion total in 2007 -- the report said: "Nor do we anticipate much of a rebound over the next few years." The report added: "This does not lend itself to rapid growth in hiring."
Real average wages paid to securities workers fell 27.2 percent in 2008 and 2009 -- "a drop off without precedent, even going back to the Great Depression," the report said. About 64,700 jobs in all sectors of the city's economy should be added this year -- but Wall Street is only expected to hire an average of about 2,800 people a year. The study added:
"The financial industry may become less profitable, and thus generate less tax revenue for the city, as it adapts to the Dodd-Frank regulations as well as new bonus restrictions proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission."
Bankers and brokers may only see their compensation rise a "tame" 8.1 percent a year from 2010 to 2015, versus the 57.6 percent gain seen from 2004 to 2007, the report said.
For the current fiscal year ending June 30, the report forecast a $2.9 billion surplus -- $258 million less than the mayor predicted -- and a $195 million deficit in 2012.
But estimates for the 2012 fiscal year that starts July 1 assume the state comes through with $600 million more aid than Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo has proposed. In 2013, the fiscal monitor projects an extra $1 billion of revenue for the city but says its budget gap will climb to $3.9 billion.
Risks to the city's budget the report identified include high fuel prices, which could clip tourism, the difficulty of getting unionized public workers to accept pension cutbacks and productivity increases, and the spiraling cost of Medicaid. The cost of the health plan for the poor, disabled and elderly has not stopped rising for four decades.
Cuomo proposed $2.3 billion of Medicaid cuts, which would hit the city's Health and Hospitals Corporation. The network of public hospitals gets 40 percent of its revenue from Medicaid.
Demonstrating his support for charter schools, Bloomberg proposed that the Department of Education spend $207 million less next year on public school classrooms but an extra $689 million on nonpublic and charter schools and systemwide costs.
The weather also poses a fiscal hazard: Central Park got nearly 61 inches of snow this winter and the storms, coupled with a tornado, cost the city almost an extra $100 million.

-- Randy Dotinga
MONDAY, Jan. 3 (HealthDay News) -- Post-traumatic stress
disorder may have long-term effects on troops -- including
physical, emotional and cognitive problems -- while those who
suffer from concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries don't
appear to encounter symptoms over the long haul, a new study
"Nearly 2 million troops have been deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom since 2001," according to background information in the report published in the January issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
"High levels of combat exposure have been documented among Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom-deployed soldiers, with increased risk of blast exposure and injury, and development of post-deployment mental and physical health problems," the researchers explained.
Melissa A. Polusny, of the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health
Care System and the University of Minnesota Medical School, and
colleagues surveyed 953 National Guard soldiers who were deployed
to combat. They answered questions in Iraq a month before returning
home and then a year later.
More than 90 percent of the troops were male and almost nine in
10 were white. Nearly half were under 30 years of age and 87
percent were of enlisted rank.
The survey found that 7.6 percent of the soldiers were
considered to probably have post-traumatic stress disorder, or
PTSD, in the first survey. A year later, the number had risen to
18.2 percent.
The rate was the same among those who reported concussions and
those who didn't. However, those who reported signs of the disorder
in the first survey were more likely to have symptoms such as
memory and balance problems, concentration difficulties and
irritability after they returned home.
"Although combat-related PTSD was strongly associated with post-concussive symptoms and psychosocial outcomes one year after soldiers return from Iraq, there was little evidence of a long-term negative impact of concussion/mild traumatic brain injury history on these outcomes after accounting for PTSD," the authors concluded.

What is consciousness? This audiobook presents an understanding of life that transcends matter. More importantly, it transcends the difference between what you are and what I am. Despite its reliance on what is known through Western Science, it is a transcendence of the Western understanding of reality. It does not begin with a world and then try to figure out how life evolved within it; it begins with life and extrapolates where the world came from.
Written by Samuel Avery, author of The Buddha and the Quantum.
©2003 Samuel Avery (P)2012 Wetware Media
I have a science background and I am fascinated with epistemology.
"Outstanding Wordcraft"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism to be better than the print version?
Andrew Mulcare does a superb narration. Every word is clear and concise and delivered in a very receivable manner .
What did you like best about this story?
This book will please anyone with an interest in modern physics or consciousness.
What does Andrew Mulcare bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Andrew Mulcare delivers his narrations in a manner that is never tiring and easily ' easy-to-follow ,While driving or walking.
If you could give The Dimensional Structure of Consciousness: A Physical Basis for Immaterialism a new subtitle, what would it be?
The place of conscious observation in modern physics. What does meditation have to add to be careful contemplation of physics .Samuel Avery has well thought out, reasoned the issues of quantum mechanics and relativity theory and has applied it to meditation experience, to propose a new mythology.. .
Any additional comments?
I would like to meet Sam Avery, and talk to him more about his books I've read or listen to several of his audiobooks and have watched a presentation on the Internet.I wonder if he has read Guilio Tononi's recent book , Phi ? The integration of information to the highest level but no higher ( Phi) is discussed or paraphrased in Avery's booksThe Being or the observer in us all is the mythology waiting for a scientific theory. Tononi thinks that it's all contained in the cranium.

This time of year, when Old Sol is having his way with us, we often turn to the tropics for culinary inspiration. The tropics, that is, of sandy beaches, blue oceans and cooling trade winds making the palm trees sway.
One reason, of course, is our innate escapist tendencies — especially from Maryland in July and August. Another may be the abundance of tropical fruits and veggies at the market this time of year.
Whatever. Dinner time — whether inspired by the family or by our desire to entertain friends — can take on a relaxed and delicious ambience when we use some of the seasonal products that are near to hand.
Our exercise du jour is to employ two such tropical treasure — mangoes and papayas — in palate-soothing dishes.
And just so you know…
Mangoes are low in calories (67 for half of one) and fat; are good sources of fiber, which helps with cholesterol control; and have ample amounts of vitamins A and C, along with vitamin E and B-6. When shopping for them, look for a flattish oval fruit with yellow-green or reddish skin, which is ripe when very fragrant and yields to gentle pressure. Basic preparation involves removing the skin and paring the flesh away from the large, fibrous pit.
By the way, mangoes belong to the same family as poison ivy, so the mango skin may produce a rash in those who are highly allergic to it.
Papayas are even lower in calories (59 per half), and are also a good source of fiber. They have plenty of folate and large amounts of vitamin C, as well as plenty ofbeta-carotene. When purchasing, look for fruit that is predominantly yellow, bring it home, then put it in a paper bag and keep it at room temperature until it turns golden and yields to gentle pressure.
Papayas seem easier to eat out of hand than mangoes. Wash the skin, cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, spritz on some lime juice (or add a scoop of lime sherbet), then spoon up the juicy, mild, evocative flesh while picturing yourself in the shade, on a breezy balcony overlooking the Caribbean. Mmm.
Cuidado: Some people develop hives or other allergic reactions from handling or eating papayas.
Crab cocktail
This company-worthy first course could also serve as a main course for a special luncheon. You can fix the dressing ahead, then put everything together at the last minute.
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon cognac
2 teaspoons bottled chili sauce (not salsa)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
2 firm, ripe mangoes

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Seniors Luis Silva and James Kiffe were named the Big West Conference's Midfielder and Defender of the Year, respectively, it was announced Monday afternoon by the league. Seven total Gauchos were named to 2011 All-Big West teams.
Sam Garza, who earned 2010 Big West Co-Offensive Player of the Year honors and was named to the 2011 MAC Hermann Watch List, has garnered his second-straight First Team honor. The junior forward is second on the team with 20 points (eight goals, four assists) and leads the Gauchos and the Big West with his 77 shots. Garza scored five of his goals in Big West play and averaged 1.20 points per game in league contests. He led all conference players with three game-winners during Big West games.
Senior Tim Pontius has earned his first career All-Big West honor with his First Team placement. The defender is a critical component of the Gaucho backline this year. He has started in 18 games and has recorded seven points (three goals, one assist). He scored the game-winner in a critical victory over UC Davis, which began a season-best six-game win streak by the Gauchos.
Dom Sarle earns All-Big West Honorable Mention honors after a great first season with the Gauchos. The sophomore transfer is fourth on the team in points (14) and tied first in assists (8). The forward has been a playmaker for UCSB all season and is third in the conference in assists and fourth in assists per game (0.38). He has come up with big goals in big games, scoring against Duke, Akron and UC Irvine in last Saturday's Big West final.
Junior Josue Madueno has played in every game this season and has started 15. He has scored three goals for the Gauchos and posted one assist. The midfielder has helped the Gauchos immensely on the defensive end of the ball, as well, after several injuries plagued the UCSB backline.
Sophomore Peter Schmetz rounds out the Gaucho honorees. The defender is one of just three players to start and play in all 21 games and leads the squad with 1,850 minutes logged on the pitch this year. He has helped the Gauchos record seven shutouts this season and also provided a goal in the season-opening win against Seattle University.
The Gauchos posted a 14-6-1 overall record during the regular season and finished second in the regular season Big West standings and in the conference tournament.
UCSB has earned the No. 15 seed into the 2011 NCAA Division I Soccer Championship. With the national seed, the Gauchos received a First Round bye and will host a Second Round game on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 5 p.m. at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. UCSB will play the winner of Thursday's First Round game between Providence (10-7-1) and Dartmouth (8-5-4).
UCSB and league champions UC Irvine represent the Big West Conference in this year's tournament bracket. The Anteaters are seeded eighth.

Frankie Sanchez, the Senior Male Athlete of the Year, and Stephanie Cantu, the Senior Female Athlete of the Year, were honored May 21 at the annual Spring Athletic Awards Banquet in the school gymnasium.
Each student-athlete earned a lifetime pass to all Tigers home sporting events.
Sanchez is the 19-year-old son of Frankie Sanchez Sr., while Cantu, 17, is the daughter of Marisela Blakeley and Carlos Cantu.
Frankie Sanchez
Sanchez was a member of the football, basketball, wrestling and baseball teams during his four years at Patterson High and was usually a starter for each squad.
"It feels unreal to win the award," Sanchez said. "It wasn't necessarily a goal of mine, but it's an honor. It was just me playing sports and doing the things that I love."
Last season, as Sanchez made contributions at both linebacker and tight end on a Patterson football team that finished 7-4, recorded its seventh consecutive winning season and made the playoffs.
"Any time you make the playoffs, it's an accomplishment," Sanchez said.
The Tigers would lose, 48-28, to Pioneer Valley League runner-up Placer High in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs.
Once football season was over, Sanchez began another campaign as the baseball team's starting catcher.
Following a baseball season in which Patterson put together its first Division IV playoff run in three years, Sanchez was honored with a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference spot. Coach Benji Lozano also named Sanchez the team's Most Valuable Player.
"Baseball is more of a mental sport," Sanchez said. "I really enjoy the team bonding and the competitiveness. I tried to lead by example and help others."
After turning down scholarship offers from Fresno State University, University of Oregon and University of California, Irvine, Sanchez made his college intentions known in April by signing a letter of intent to play baseball for Luther College in Decorah, Iowa.
He also received a prestigious honor in recognition of his excellence in academics and athletics — a full athletic scholarship package to attend the school, where he will study sports medicine.
"It was a hard decision, but I chose to experience college life on my own, away from home," Sanchez said. "The campus at Luther College is nice — it feels like springtime. Like Patterson, the community (of Decorah) is behind all of their local sports."
Sanchez's list of athletic accomplishments began his junior year, when he was named to the WAC's first team as a linebacker. He was also selected as team co-captain.
In 2010, Patterson tied a program record for most wins in a season during its 11-2 campaign. The Tigers also notched their first 10-game winning streak and claimed the WAC championship, the school's first outright league title since 1968.
"It wasn't an individual mindset — we were a team," Sanchez said. "We worked for everything that we accomplished."
In his first season in a crimson-and-gray singlet, wrestling as a junior in the 189-pound weight class, Sanchez capped Modesto High's Big Kat Klassic in the perfect way. He pinned all 10 opponents he faced during the two-day meet and was selected as the tournament's outstanding heavyweight.
Competing at the Division V section meet at Union Mine High in El Dorado, Sanchez suffered a knee injury and missed out on advancing to the Masters tournament.
"It was hard to watch, and I couldn't do anything," Sanchez said. "I wanted to provide leadership and drive."
Still, Patterson wrestling coach Lee Scoles handed Sanchez his Coach's Award.
Sanchez said sports motivated him to do well in class, but for inspiration, he has a family that loves to attend games and cheer him on. Being with the team after a big win also makes the hard work worthwhile, he added.
"My dad once told me that sports would be hard and that I wasn't always going to like playing them," Sanchez said. "But it keeps your head on straight. You've always got commitments, so you know you can't let anyone down, your team or yourself. The main thing is it keeps you on a good path."
Stephanie Cantu
Cantu has played volleyball, basketball and softball during her four years at Patterson High. Three of those years, she was a varsity athlete on the volleyball and basketball teams.
"It was really cool to be chosen for the award," Cantu said. "There are only two people selected each year, so it's really an honor. This makes me feel like I really accomplished something during high school."
This year, as one of Patterson's top scorers and defenders, Cantu helped lead her basketball team to the postseason after a two-year absence. The Tigers gave a strong effort but were ultimately unable to match Manteca High, losing 62-40 in the first round of the Division III playoffs.
Cantu was named the team's MVP and co-captain and garnered Patterson girls basketball coach Elizabeth Reza's Miss Defense Award. She was also voted to the conference's second team.
"This was the most memorable season of basketball by far," Cantu said. "Winning made us all really close. We came together as a team. We were all contributors."
Cantu was also voted to the all-WAC volleyball second team for 2011 and co-captain of the PHS squad.
She played softball for three years and was part of three straight conference championship squads. She earned the Tiger Pride Award as a junior and was selected to the league's first team as a shortstop.
"It was challenging at times, but we all had the same goals in mind," Cantu said.
Off the field, Cantu was a scholar-athlete award recipient and one of Patterson High's 14 valedictorians, maintaining a 4.42 overall GPA, which ranked her No. 1 in her class of 342.
She plans to study engineering at University of California, Los Angeles, beginning this fall.
"It'll be something new, and there's so many opportunities to do different things," Cantu said. "I'll still be really busy, but I think that college will be fun. Los Angeles is surrounded by everything."
For her academic efforts, she received a scholarship from the Northern California Scholarship Foundation worth $8,000 per year for four years.
Cantu was also awarded scholarship money as one of 50 winners of the A. Dale Lacky-CSEA Scholarships for outstanding performance in athletics, community service and academics during high school.
Outside of athletics, Cantu was a member of the school's book club, Advanced Placement chemistry club, AP calculus club and California Scholarship Federation. She volunteers for Patterson Parks and Recreation Department.
Cantu gave credit to her parents and coaches for helping her along the way.
"I couldn't have done all of this by myself," Cantu said. "They helped me when I was struggling and they pushed me to be a better person."

As of Thursday, August 30, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Mountain View Bears (7-AAAAAA)
-- Coach: Doug Giacone
-- 2011 record: 3-7
Archer Tigers (8-AAAAAA)
-- Coach: Andy Dyer
-- 2011 record: 5-6
The two schools, which both opened in 2009, share a nice rivalry that continues this season in non-region play. A new twist this year is a coaching change with Doug Giacone, who makes his head coaching debut Friday. He replaced Tim Hardy, now the head coach at Greater Atlanta Christian.
"The stress isn't the (first) game (as head coach), it's all the things in the periphery, the logistical aspect of everything," Giacone said. "I've been coaching for 13 years and I find peace and solitude in the game itself because that's what I'm used to."
Archer and Mountain View have split the first four games against each other, but the Tigers have won the last two outings. Their victory last season kicked off a run to the playoffs for the first time.
Archer is out to repeat that feat this year, but improvements must be made from its preseason scrimmage against Collins Hill, which led 35-10 at halftime when the two teams played their starters. There were some bright spots, though, like the running of Ernest Alexander and defensive lineman Robbie Armstrong.
"We did some really good things and we did some really bad things (in the scrimmage)," Archer head coach Andy Dyer said. "We hit both ends of the spectrum."
-- Last meeting: Archer won 18-7 last season
-- Directions to Archer High School: From Ga. Hwy. 316, go east to Ga. 20 and turn right toward Lawrenceville. Continue as Ga. 20 turns into Jackson Street and New Hope Road. School is on the right. (Stadium info)

Who Is Affected by Sickle Cell Disease
Who Is Affected by Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder. More specifically, sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that to have the disease, a person must inherit an abnormal gene from both parents.
People whose ancestors were from Africa, India, the Middle East, the Mediterranean (Turkey, Italy, Greece), and some Latin American countries are more likely to inherit the gene that can cause sickle cell disease. In the United States, about 2,000 children are born each year with sickle cell disease.1
Some people inherit one sickle cell gene and one other defective hemoglobin gene. This results in similar sickle cell disorders ranging from mild to severe.

How to Throw a Hoppin' Easter Party!
With some simple preparation, you can host an egg-cellent spring party for your kids by incorporating the following suggestions or by coming up with your own creative ideas revolving around eggs, bunnies, and chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate!
Creative Crafts
Since your young guests will need a container for the grand finale egg hunt, have children decorate their very own baskets or bags. Keep it as simple or as elaborate as you wish depending on the children's ages, time allotted, or your amount of patience. Older children may want to weave colorful ribbons through inexpensive baskets, while little ones may enjoy using crayons, paints, markers, glitter, pom-poms, and bunny or chick stickers to personalize bags. Fill each bag or basket with a small amount of Easter grass to cushion the eggs. Even the youngest party-goers will be able to participate in this easy craft. Do this activity as soon as guests arrive so there's time for the paint and glue to dry before the much–anticipated egg hunt begins.
Your guests can also decorate cooled hardboiled eggs. Use the standard egg dye kits with the color tablets, or bring out the glue, glitter, paints, and yarn. Here are some suggestions for making eggs fun and fancy:
- Attach stickers or glue an assortment of decorative gems, including sequins or tiny beads, to create a one-of-a-kind egg.
- Allow the kids to draw designs on their eggs with wax crayons; once the egg is dipped, the dye won't soak through the wax, leaving your child's artwork on the shell.
- This simple tie-dye technique gives eggs a whole new look. To start, dip the egg in a pale dye. Once the dye has dried, secure a thick rubber band or two around the egg and dip it in darker dye.
- Once the egg has dried again, remove the rubber bands.
- It's easy to "marbleize" your eggs. Simply add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the cup of dye you want to use. Dip your egg as directed on the package, and when you remove the egg from the dye it will have a marbleized look.
Older children can empty a raw egg by using a pin to prick one small hole at the top and a slightly larger hole at the bottom of the egg. Gently blow into the smaller hole until the egg loosens from inside and drips out of the shell and into a bowl. When emptied, rinse the egg under the faucet to clean out any yolk remnants. Dry the shell carefully and make sure everyone washes their hands to remove traces of raw egg.
Once the egg is dry, decorate the empty shell. Glue yarn on the top for hair, apply stick-on googly eyes, and paint a mouth and nose on the egg. Kids can glue the egg face to the top of a toilet paper roll core and paint clothes onto the "egg person." A quick coat of clear acrylic paint will preserve this Easter egg decoration.
Fantastic Food
Layer shredded lettuce and carrots on the bottom of small green plastic baskets (the containers that strawberries come in work well). Place cooked chicken nuggets onto the "Easter grass" lettuce. Serve Ranch dressing with the nugget "eggs" and salad. Toss in a few colorful jelly beans to jazz up the Easter basket meal.
Make sandwiches cut with cookie cutters shaped like an egg, baby chick, or bunny. Use a variety of sandwich fillings such as PB&J or egg salad. Try strawberry jelly and cream cheese, peanut butter and bananas, or peanut butter and marshmallow fluff for a fun food twist.
For dessert, bake cupcakes before the party and let the children frost and decorate their own. Divide butter cream or vanilla frosting into separate bowls and place a few drops of food coloring in each bowl. Bright pastel colors can be created by mixing red and blue, or blue and yellow (the less drops added, the lighter the color). Frost the cupcakes and decorate with M&Ms, icing pens, sprinkles, and mini-chocolate eggs.
Games Galore
Before the big Easter egg hunt, plan a game or two to round out the party. If you're brave enough to risk a little mess, play the Egg on a Spoon game. You'll need raw eggs and tablespoons. Pair up the children and have them walk with eggs on their spoons to their partners. Call out instructions such as, "hop on one foot," or "crawl to your partner" to insure there will be some fallen eggs! The last team with an unbroken egg wins.
Play an egg toss in the spirit of "Hot Potato." Children stand in a circle and pass an egg around while music plays, and when the music stops, the child holding the egg has to sit out. Last one with the egg is a … well, not a rotten egg, because he's the winner, but you get the idea!
For more fun Easter party games, try these new twists on old favorites:
- Pin the Tail on the Bunny
- The Easter Bunny Says (instead of Simon Says)
- Bunny, Bunny … Rabbit! (instead of Duck, Duck … Goose!)
- The Bunny Hop, an Easter variation of the traditional sack race
The Easter Egg Hunt
Purchasing and filling plastic eggs can be time-consuming and expensive. If your guests' parents offer to contribute anything for the party, ask them to bring a dozen filled eggs, which will ensure a variety of treats. Keep in mind that plastic eggs don't have to be filled with the sugary goods. Children will be thrilled to open an egg and discover small change, a bunny eraser, or stickers.
Before the egg hunt begins, set some rules. Limit the number of eggs each child is allowed to find, and give the littlest guests a head start. You may also want to count the eggs before you hide them so you aren't surprised by a leftover egg in June (especially if you're hiding real eggs)! If you're hosting your hunt in a warm climate, be sure it is organized and completed in a short time so you don't wind up with melted chocolates or spoiled eggs.
The purpose of an Easter party like this is to welcome spring, enjoy friends and family, and have fun! Just make sure you move out of the way when the kids are let loose at the start of the hunt. You're very likely to get trampled on during the mad dash for those colorful oval treasures!
Easter Facts You Probably Didn't Know
The National Confectioners Association (NCA) indicates Easter as the second most popular holiday for candy purchases, following Halloween. According to the NCA, 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for Easter each year, and 76 percent of people eat the ears first. Sixteen billion jelly beans are made for Easter, and the red ones are kids' favorite flavor.
According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the largest Easter egg hunt included 8,200 children under the age of 12 searching for more than 250,000 eggs hidden in Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls.
The Guinness Book of World Records also cites the largest Easter egg ever was over 25-feet high and made of chocolate and marshmallow. It weighed 8,968 pounds and was supported internally by a steel frame, which was, of course, inedible!

Video/audio clip,
1 min 13 seconds.
Herb Morrison, WLS Chicago radio reporter, and engineer Charlie Nehlsen captured the Hindenburg disaster on lacquer disc.
Hindenburg Crash Mail
The German zeppelin Hindenburg made sixty-three flights, including ten roundtrips to the United States in 1936. It met tragedy May 6, 1937. Attempting to land at Lakehurst, New Jersey, the giant airship burst into flames near the mooring mast. In only thirty-two seconds, the zeppelin was smoldering wreckage. Amazingly, nearly two-thirds of the passengers and crew survived (thirty-five people on board died plus one member of the ground crew; sixty-two survived). The zeppelin was 803'10" long—almost three football fields end-to-end. The cause of the disaster has never been determined. However, the prevailing theory is that a discharge of electricity from the storm that evening ignited some leaking hydrogen. Sabotage has been ruled out as a possibility due to lacking evidence of any kind.
This postcard was part of the mail salvaged from the wreckage. The U.S. Post Office Department enclosed the fragile, charred remains in a glassine envelope and officially sealed it before delivery to the addressee. This folded postcard, also known as an 'economical folded business card', allowed the sender to type the address and message without turning the card over. After typing, the address portion was folded to become part of the card face and then glued into place. This card, addressed to John Schoonbrod in New York City, has a typed message on the reverse in which Ernst wrote that he was sending greetings by air, asked why he had not heard from Hans for awhile, and suggested a reply on an upcoming return flight of the Hindenburg. The international postcard rate was 15Rpf and, therefore, the rate is overpaid by 10Rpf. Though 10 Rpf was the required rate for airmail service in the U.S., no airmail was needed for a New York City destination.
Postal officials salvaged approximately 358 pieces from the 17,609 estimated pieces of mail on the flight. Of these, 176 salvaged items were unburned (with a few exceptions) because they were stored in a protective, sealed pouch awaiting postal service on the return flight, and they later received a paquebot postmark. Several other varieties of Hindenburg crash mail exist from the final flight, including mail dropped over the city of Cologne in Germany, mail posted onboard (two cancel types) by passengers and crew, mail transmitted from other countries (Danzig, Netherlands, Austria, and Switzerland), mail found in the wreckage after the postal inspectors left, and mail intended for the return flight. Forgeries exist.
This philatelic gem is from the John P. V. Heinmuller collection, a collection including over two thousand zeppelin covers that Heinmuller donated to the National Postal Museum.

Looking for Floor Plan
We purchased a house - built in 1972 in FT Worth TX. We think it might have been one of the models as there isn't another of the design in the neighborhood. It has an "interesting" floor plan and we are trying to figure out what some of the areas were originally designed as. The house had several owners and was rental property...a few modifications (wall built on top of carpeting) When we took up the carpeting (not original) we could see the remnants of what we think was carpeted areas and vinyl half circles and circles around the great room. I'm hoping to find the architects rendition/floor plan that they used to sell the model...might be earlier than 1972. In the cement driveway it says Frank Black 1972, not sure it is the builder.
Have you gone to the city to see who pulled the permits to build it? It might give you a clue as to where to start.
Thank you...a place to start.
Yes metwo is right..go to the county or city building dept...builders have to submit a blueprint. Not sure one is still around but there might be a floorplan on your public records.
Good luck.
