I used this saw to tale down a small tree with a 12" trunk. It preformed better than I had expected. This saw is designed for making vertical cuts, there is no good way to hold the saw with both hands when making a horizontal cut. The chain oiler is only gravity fed. The motor isn't very powerful, just relax and let it do its thing.At the sale price this saw is a good deal.

For all of you looking for replacement chains, just go to [@] and use their chain selector tool to choose a chain. The Chicago brand, 67255, 14" chain is listed out there as an S52. Then use that number to google that chain. There are plenty of places that offer the replacement chains.

Worked great.
By Dan

About Me Parent
Had a dead Maple tree that finally fell over. Three limbs coming off main truck were 14",15" & 17". No problem cutting them into smaller sections. The main truck is about 35", so it will take cutting it into sections, but should work fine. Only had to add oil, once.
Excellent Saw

About Me Collector, Parent, Thrifty
Basic tree trimming / yardwork. I have a gas powered chainsaw but for around the house where electricity is redily available it's just too convienient to drag a power cord around Vs storing & mixing gas & oil. This electric saw has plenty of power. It's lightweight and decently balanced. It works really well! I'm not fond of the safety trigger but it's workable.

Thought it would be wimpy, but...
By GarageGuy
from Cary, IL
About Me Avid Diy'r
I really had low expectations when I bought this saw. I really expected it to be a toy, but was *very* impressed with it's performance. It has a lot of torque, and an agressive chain. I cut down 3 large Ash trees, then cut them all up into fireplace sized pieces. This saw will take a full 14" cut with no problem. The trees I cut down were nearly twice that wide, and one cut from either side did the job on those big trunks. I bought the extended warranty because I thought this job would kill it, but it still runs and cuts like new. I used 30w non-detergent oil for the automatic chain oiler, and both the chain and bar stayed clean and well oiled. I run the chain slightly more loosely than the manual recommended. When the job was done, I inspected the bar, chain, and drive sprocket, and there doesn't seem to be any detectable wear. I used a 100 ft 12 gauge power cord to reduce voltage drop, and it would run at least a half hour of continuous heavy cutting before getting hot. Usually by that time I was ready for a break too. The chain tension adjuster is a little kludgy, but I didn't have to adjust it much so it didn't seem to matter.

Great Value for Money. Pleasant Surprise
By Turbotato
from Blue Bell, PA
About Me Diyer
My older and my relatively new name brand gas Chainsaws both gave up the ghost and I needed to pick-up another saw quickly. I took a chance on the Chicago electric saw and I'm glad I did. No hassles starting it like the gas saws and it cuts better than both of the gas ones too. Just let the weight of the saw do the work...piece of cake cutting through logs about 12" in diameter. I wish I had bought it sooner rather than investing more money for blades and parts to try to repair my gas saws...in retrospect buying this one was a no brainer. Does seem to have more kickback then my gas saws...so be careful when cutting smaller branches.

This is a great power tool at a great deal! Only $49! I use it for extensive yard work trimming trees, cutting down dead ones or trees i just want gone. its also great for cutting up dead wood all over the yard and making a great pile for the fire pit! I don't like gas powered tools so this was perfect! Just don't be foolish and try to force it through a tree or branch in 2 seconds cause it won't work, just let the saw do the work and cut and it works wonderful!

About Me Education Oriented, Educator, Engineer, Thrifty
Feb 2014 Ice storm took out my 6' diam Oak (as well as the carport and power pole). This saw really impressed me because I was able to take most of the tree apart (while salvaging a cut-up woodpile 20'L x 6'H x 6'D and leaving a large carcass-there's only so much that a 14" saw can do). Wish I could show pics. On my 3rd saw for this project but that happens when cutting 25" Limbs. BUY.

About Me Thrifty
I have been using this now for 3 years. I have been very impressed with how much I can cut with this little thing. I used it in my yard to take down a few trees and in my aunts yard to break up some large fallen trees from a bad storm a few years ago. No on expected this little electric saw to cut through thick branches and trunks but it does.Note: Buy additional chain oil, you will need it. Let the machine go at its own pace, it does a good job just don't force it. Clean the machine after use to keep it going strong a long time.

Can't wait to watch the game to see whether, after the trick play on the punt, the team's medical staff required Mike to pass the concussion tests before his next call. Does anyone know if the Packers' medical staff intends to list Mike on the injury report as questionable or play-to-play?

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Spokane's Police Ombudsman went before the city council Monday night to recommend an idea he thinks law enforcement should consider.
Ombudsman Tim Burns is recommending a Medical Examiner's Inquest. This would be something that would happen if law enforcement was involved in a death.
A Medical Examiner's Inquest is a formal hearing with a jury that looks into the cause and circumstances of any death. Burns asks the community to consider these when they are linked to law enforcement or a high profile suspicious death.
In the past few years, Ombudsman Burns has worked with police to recommend different things the department could work on.
Burns says this would be another chance for Spokane County law enforcement to be transparent and it may help families left behind.
The Spokane County Medical Examiner took part in Inquests decades ago. Burns admits he's not sure how much a new system would cost to get started and also admits the current medical examiner isn't a fan of the idea.
Most of Burn's recommendations from last year have either been implemented or are being worked on.
Burn has three other recommendations including implementing a school resource officer program, improve service delivery for public records requests, and having a county prosecutor's office special investigator position.

With the NHL Trade Deadline only weeks away, teams are making decisions on whether to buy or sell and deciding which players can make the biggest difference or hold the greatest value.
Check out today's trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca each day until Deadline Day for all the updates.
McKenzie's takes
TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie tried to shed some light as to what could happen with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Carolina Hurricanes.
With regards to the Maple Leafs, McKenzie said that there is a very real chance the team doesn't make a significant move between now and the trade deadline. McKenzie noted that the Leafs are looking for a top six forward with size who can score, and he points to the fact that there are not a lot of those players currently on the market.
The Carolina Hurricanes, who are the team that is widely believed to be the one to get the trades rolling in the next week or two, might not be so quick to part with soon-to-be free agent Tuomo Ruutu.
McKenzie reports that the asking price for Ruutu has been steep, and there's a chance that the club sits down with the winger and asks him to sign an extension, like they did with defenceman Tim Gleason. If Ruutu is willing to sign, he'll stay, if he doesn't than it would appear that he'll be on the move.
Staying in Calgary
Flames captain Jarome Iginla was once again asked about his future in Calagary and according to Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald, Iginla has no plans to leave the team at the deadline.
"I think we're going to be a playoff team," Iginla siad. "I believe that."
Wait and See Mode
Kirk Penton of QMI Agency states that the Winnipeg Jets will wait to see where they are in the standings as the deadline approaches to see if they are buyers or sellers.
"We have a two-week window here where we have to make things happen," head coach Claude Noel said. "You're either going to play with that (playoff) line or you're not."
Sharks looking for offence
With Martin Havlat only expected to return to the lineup in March, the San Jose Sharks should be looking for a top-six forward according to David Pollack of the Mercury News.Adrian Dater of the Denver Post reports that winger David Jones, who has scored 10 goals after scoring 27 last season, is a prime candidate to be traded.
When asked about his search, general manager Doug Wilson was tight lipped.
"Once we get in this month," Wilson told the Mercury News, "I don't make any comment about anything."
Packing His Bags?
There's at least one member of the Colorado Avalanche that knows that he could be on the move.
Adrian Dater of the Denver Post reports that winger David Jones, who has scored 10 goals after scoring 27 last season, is a prime candidate to be traded.
Jones will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and he and the club have not had any discussions about a contract extension.
Kings In Tough Spot
While the Los Angeles Kings would love to add some scoring up front, Helene Elliott of the LA Times reports that it's going to be easier said than done.
The Kings, who are averaging just over two goals per-game on the season, are very close to the salary cap meaning that they would wait until the last week of the deadline before making a deal. If that hurdle wasn't enough, general manager Dean Lombardi has to contend with a luke-warm market.
"It's hard to find an upgrade right now," Lombardi said.

A Primer in Positive Discipline: Tips for Consistent Parenting
Why is Consistency Important?
"Ouch!" I yelled as I tripped over my three-year-old daughter's doll stroller. As I glared at the offending toy, I called, "Julia, you need to come get this stroller and take it into your room." I waited a moment. Nothing. I could hear her playing in her room, so I was sure she'd heard me. I sighed and called again. "Julia, I just tripped over your doll stroller. You need to come and pick it up or I'm going to take it and you won't get it back until tomorrow." Her eyes wide, she darted out of her room and quickly pushed the stroller into her bedroom. "Sorry, Mommy," she said.
Why did she do as I asked promptly and without argument? Because she knew that I meant what I said. I warned her that I was about to take away one of her favorite toys, and she knew that I would follow through. She knew because I had done it before.
Dr. Sal Severe, PhD, author of How to Behave So Your Preschooler Will, Too!, says, "You want to build a reputation with your kids that when you say something, you mean it." In other words, be consistent with your discipline.
Why is consistency so important to young children? "Consistency is the glue that sticks together for kids. It teaches them that their behavior has an outcome," says Dr. Severe. They learn the cause and effect relationship: When I act like this, this is what happens. Good or bad, my behavior produces a result.
But when discipline is inconsistent, children do not learn about cause and effect because the effect of their behavior keeps changing. "Inconsistency teaches children to take chances. They think, 'Maybe I'll get away with it this time,'" explains Dr. Severe. When kids do not know what to expect from their parents, it's almost a guarantee that they will test the limits every chance they get.
Many parents use the words "discipline" and "punishment" almost interchangeably. Dr. Severe says that the two are very different. "Discipline is everything we do to teach kids to think for themselves and to make good choices," he says. "Punishment is only one small part of discipline. Punishment lets the child know that they made a bad choice."
"Discipline should focus on the connection between what the child did and how they should feel about their behavior," says Dr. Severe. When your child behaves well, you should say something like, "You shared your toys with your brother. That was so nice of you. You should feel very proud of yourself!" When your child does something wrong, say, "I'm sorry you hit your sister. We use nice touches in our house. Now you have to go to time-out. I hope you'll make a different choice next time."
Dr. Severe says, "Consistency is the foundation of good discipline. It is part of everything we do with kids." So how do we ensure that we are disciplining consistently? Follow these tips from Dr. Severe.
Practice Proactive Parenting
Proactive parenting means trying to prevent misbehavior in the first place. "Tell your child ahead of time about the expectations," says Dr. Severe. It is easier to let your child know up front how you want him to behave than to deal with misbehavior later. Dr. Severe calls this the "Smokey the Bear Philosophy." It is easier to prevent forest fires than to put them out.
Be Reactive As Well
Reactive parenting means handling the misconduct as it is happening. "How you handle misbehavior will determine whether or not it will happen again in the future," says Dr. Severe. Having a consistent and immediate consequence to a child's misbehavior will go a long way toward extinguishing that behavior.
Develop Behavior Cues
"Give your child an indicator that now is the time they need to behave," says Dr. Severe. Many parents count as a warning to their children. The kids know that they better be doing the right thing by the time Mom says "three." Dr. Severe also encourages parents to give their child one warning and then a moment to think about their choice. Saying, "I hope you make the right choice" can act as a cue to your child that the wrong choice will have a consequence. But one warning is all it should take, cautions Dr. Severe. Any more than that, and your child will realize that you don't really mean what you say.
Another effective behavior cue is asking your child a question. In his book, Dr. Severe describes how a parent should handle interruptions when he or she is on the telephone. Calmly say to the child, "What's on my ear?" This question acts as a reminder to the child that Mom or Dad is on the phone and he should wait a few minutes. Other questions that can act as behavior cues are "What is our rule about that?" or "What did I ask you to do?" One that works well for me is "Who is the boss at our house?" My children know the right answer is "Mommy and Daddy," and saying it acts as a reminder that they need to do as we ask.
Focus On The Positive
Every time you comment on your child's behavior, you are encouraging him to repeat that behavior. If your child picks up his toys and you thank him for being helpful, he is much more likely to be helpful in the future. You are teaching him good behavior just by paying him a compliment. Be sure to catch your kids being good!
Let Your Child Know What Matters Most
Explain to your child that it is your job as her parent to teach her how to behave. Tell her that you love her and you want only the best for her, and part of that is learning good behavior. If your child throws a kicking-and-screaming temper tantrum at the supermarket, leave the store immediately.
Dr. Severe says, "Let kids know that their behavior is more important than anything else. Tell him, 'My job is to teach you how to behave. I can finish the shopping later. You are my job.'" This tells your child that you love him, but also that you take his misbehavior very seriously.
Be Aware of your Mood (and Your Child's)
Being consistent with discipline can be challenging even on a good day. On a bad day, it can be downright difficult. When you've had a hard day and you know that your tolerance level is not at its best, remember that disciplining based on your mood can be very confusing to children. Try to keep the basic rules the same, no matter how you are feeling at the time. Also, consider your child's mood. "Kids accept your guidance more readily on good days," says Dr. Severe.
Let Your Kids Be Kids
Dr. Severe says, "The biggest mistake parents make is to punish the annoying, attention-getting things, rather than just the deliberate misconduct." Many preschool behaviors, while annoying to us as adults, are not actual misbehavior, but just a three-year-old being three. Talking incessantly, being messy, and not sitting still are behaviors that might fall into this category.
Reward Your Children for Good Choices
A popular saying at my house is, "When you act good, good things happen." My children understand that good behavior will often be rewarded in some way. Being cooperative at the grocery store means that they'll get to choose what cereal we buy on that trip. Being polite during a meal in a restaurant will usually earn them dessert or an extra book at bedtime that night. On the other hand, misbehavior will result in a time-out or the loss of a privilege. My kids know that their behavior determines what happens to them. Through their behavior, they choose either a reward or a consequence, and they are learning to choose their destiny wisely.

SPOKANE--Another employment survey offers a dismal outlook for people looking for jobs in Spokane, but some local economists say they disagree.
"Manpower" released a survey ranking Spokane as "Worst in the Nation" to find a job for the end of 2012. The survey for the fourth quarter of 2012 shows a flat job outlook for the Spokane metro area. It showed the same percentage of companies planned to either increase or decrease their number of employees.
A similar survey from one year ago shows Spokane once again got a bad name because the survey found more companies were planning to downsize than hire.
Local economists say there are issues with this survey and its approach.
They point to the small sample size, the absence of counting exactly how many jobs a company is adding or losing and how important some industries are over others in our area. For example, if one company says they're going to add 100 new jobs but another says they're going to lose 50, the survey treats them as the same. It doesn't factor in that there would still be a net increase in hires.
Manpower says they poll at least 143 companies in each metro area, totaling more than 18,000 nationwide to come up with its results.
The regional economist for our area says their sample size is less than one percent. He uses 86% of payroll data to create his economic forecasts.

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers.
It takes a special breed to ride the fixie – super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic.
But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day – a routine "premium rush" run – turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan.
Basic Information
- Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
- Filming Locations: New York City, USA
- MPAA Warning: Some violence, intense action sequences and language
- Production Budget: $85 million
- Production Companies: Pariah
- Production Schedule: July 2010 - September 2010
Featured Articles
2012 Guide Analysis: "Shot mid-2010 and originally scheduled for release this month, this simple high-concept thriller surprised a few when it was pushed back to a late Summer release. No real explanation was given other than this is the kind of film best suited for a January or August slot and "Man on a Ledge" seems to have already had this month staked out for itself.
In this, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a highly adept New York City bicycle messenger who picks up what he thinks is a routine last package for the day from an ex-girlfriend. He has 90 minutes to get it from 28th Street & 6th Ave to 116th Street & Broadway, but suddenly finds himself being pursued by a brutal cop (Michael Shannon) and some others out to kill him.
The combination of bike-based stunts with Levitt & Shannon playing against each other are the draws here. It's a decent small thriller concept but writer/director David Koepp's directing efforts have proven quite mixed in the past so it could go either way. I'd expect a decent little movie worth a rental."

Southern states are often called the "Bible Belt," and a new study shows that is true, with Charlotte making the list of the top ten "Bible-Minded cities."
The American Bible Study recently released its second annual study of the most and least Bible-minded cities. The study ranks the cities on the scale of one to 100, from most-to-least minded.
Chattanooga, Tenn. topped the list at number one, but Charlotte is the biggest city in the top ten - coming in at number six.
There are seven North Carolina and South Carolina areas on the list of the top 100 - all coming in the top 40 cities.
Overall, the South and Midwest top the list while many Northeast cities were amongst the least Bible-minded, according to the study. Providence, RI, and New Bedford, MA, came in at no. 100.
The study reports their numbers based off more than 46,000 phone and online interviews during a 7-year period.
The study defines a "Bible-minded" person as someone who read a Bible within the past seven days and "agrees strongly with the accuracy of the Bible."
According to their website, American Bible Society is a, "Christian ministry that has been engaging people with the life-changing message of God's Word for nearly 200 years."

Samsung Galaxy S4, hands-on: Does this year's biggest phone deliver?
Summary: The Galaxy S4 is Samsung's (and Android's) flagship smartphone - here are my first impressions after getting some hands-on time.
11 of 11Image
Another notable feature found on previous generations of Galaxy but evolved for the S4 include Group Play for music, photos and games.
This feature allows multiple people to view or listen to the same content in real-time by sharing it between handsets without the need for a mobile or Wi-Fi signal using Wi-Fi Direct connectivity.
Connecting up two phones to play music creates a stereo set up and this can be increased (if there are enough handsets in the room) up to creating a 5.0 surround sound set up. The image above shows a two speaker stereo setup.
By now there should be a pattern emerging: while the Samsung Galaxy S4 looks a lot like the S3 on the surface, Samsung has put considerable efforts into enticing customers to stick with the brand through custom software on the devices.
Another of these tweaks is the Samsung Health app that allows you to track calories consumed and calories burned. However, rather than restrict you to items on a pre-populated list, you can add to your Health tracker by inputting custom items, either by text or by taking a photo using the phone.
There are lots more of these little touches throughout the handset such as S Translator or the 'Story Album' photo mode, adding value to the core Android Jelly Bean OS proposition.
Overall, because I'm not a fan of overly large screens that border on the phablet category, so I was ready for disappointment with the Galaxy S4. However, with the chassis actually taking up less room in your hand than the previous generation and a number of innovative, if somewhat gimmicky, software tricks on board, the S4 looks set to make its mark on the Android market.

My wife and I love the holiday of Sukkot, as do many of our friends. We build the sukkah every year and have friends over for an evening meal, preferably on shabbes - if someone else in our group of friends isn't doing those. It's a wonderful, community-building holiday.
I've heard that one can only commence sukkah construction after Yom Kippur. I've been doing it this way for years. I often inventory the wood and and schach ahead of time, but I always hold off on construction.
Nevertheless, when riding around town during the days of awe, I've seen people start building before the end of Yom Kippur. Sometimes even synagogues will jump the gun a bit.
From a legal standpoint, is there any truth to the assertion that one should build the sukkah only during these four days? If there are dissenting opinions in law, what are they?
(I'm a conservative jew with reconstructionist leanings, and I would personally prefer answers that are friendly towards non-orthodox movements. By this I mean stuff in English, or at least sources I can track down and find translations of.)

7 stocks feeding off Facebook debut
A few less-well-known names could join the big techs at the trough.
By Sean Udall, Minyanville.com
You may not have got in on Friday's long-awaited initial public offering, but here are seven other companies that stand to benefit from the "Facebook effect."
Google (GOOG)
I've been table-pounding about Google for many reasons -- including its Chrome, Docs, Search, Cloud, Android, valuation, etc. -- but certainly also as a strong play, given the Facebook (FB) catalyst.
The stock recently jumped $15 in early trading, and I think much of the action is due to Facebook's increasing its number of shares allocated.
This effectively boosted the Facebook valuation from the $100 billion area to around $125 billion, and I now think the market is thinking what I've been thinking for some time: Facebook is going to zoom past the $150 billion mark and possibly hit something closer to $185 billion the first day.
I've penned a ton of work on Google, and not that it needs another valuation catalyst, but if Facebook trades at $200 billion, then Google should trade at or above $300 billion. Or, said another way, at 6.5 times sales versus Facebook at 50 times sales.
Microsoft (MSFT)
I covered my Microsoft short largely because of the coming Facebook IPO. Mr. Softee is probably the easiest call for a little bit of upside on a big Facebook run.
Simply put, Microsoft bought a nice chunk of Facebook years back at a valuation under $10 billion, so Microsoft is set to make a very nice chunk of change on this investment. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, an MSN Money site.)
Zynga (ZNGA)
Nearly everyone knows that Zynga is a primary benefactor of the Facebook IPO, and so far the most successful company at monetization from the Facebook platform.
I can see strong potential catalysts for the FarmVille creators, and also feel it could see a strong delayed reaction move to a big rise in Facebook. However, I have not personally been able to pull the trigger on the long side here.
Electronic Arts (EA)
Personally, I'd rather own this cash-rich and very undervalued gaming franchise instead of Zynga. It's sporting just a $4.5 billion valuation versus $6.5 billion from Zynga and has a quarter of the market capitalization in net cash.
I also very much like EA's strong growth in digital revenues and feel it could find ways to monetize gaming on several social platforms, including Facebook's.
Fusion IO (FIO)
This stock has been hit by a myriad of negative news items and has been lumped in with what I deem as too many weak-handed, hot-money players. But I can't find too many companies doing as much direct business with Facebook as Fusion IO.
In recent quarters, Facebook has been Fusion's number one or two customer; Apple is the other. Facebook relies on Fusion's storage memory platforms for data decentralization to manage its ever-growing mountain of data, the lifeblood of revenue production for the company.
Apple (AAPL)
Does anything justify Apple's valuation in the $500 billion and beyond range more than Facebook trading close to or above $200 billion?
ComScore (SCOR)
The more Facebook can justify its data value proposition to advertisers, the more it can sell to those advertisers. ComScore provides digital analytics solutions that help companies do just that. The company combines deep insights into consumer behavior with information regarding usage of their online properties and those of their competitors.
Additionally, comScore has intensive analytics on mobile networks, which Facebook has said is the next major growth frontier, as well as a primary future risk for the company.
In summary, I don't feel a huge need to invest in or trade the Facebook deal. There are plenty of stocks that are currently trading at compelling valuations and will trade much stronger if the Facebook stock goes absolutely to the moon. If that happens, I will simply sit back and let Google and other positions work as tertiary plays.
However, if there's enough fear or negativity and Facebook opens flat or just modestly higher, I will be taking a stake, as I think the company is poised to put in substantial growth for an extended period of time and trade closer to that $200 billion valuation level.

OAKLAND -- A judge on Monday gave the family of Jahi McMath the gift of Christmas with the 13-year-old brain-dead girl, ordering that she be kept on a ventilator through next week while doctors perform more tests to determine if the girl has any chance of recovering.
A court-appointed neurologist was scheduled to report his findings in a closed hearing Tuesday morning, but no matter the result of the tests, Jahi's family vowed to keep fighting to keep the girl breathing.
The ruling Monday from Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo will likely allow the family to spend Christmas in the girl's room on the third floor of Children's Hospital Oakland.
Above all else, the family wants "to give her more time," Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield, said. "Hopefully everything will work out in her favor, because I know my daughter wants to live. She enjoys life, and I know she wouldn't like somebody putting a time limit on her life."
The family's attorney, Christopher Dolan, said that "hope stays alive if she stays alive," adding that he was grateful "that this family won't be attending a funeral on Christmas."
Grillo originally barred the hospital from taking the girl off the ventilator or ending her IV fluids before Monday. On Monday, Grillo appointed Dr. Paul Fisher, chief of pediatric neurology at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, to test Jahi's brain activity.
Fisher will present his findings in a closed-court hearing at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday in downtown Oakland. The judge has not said when he will rule on whether the hospital can take the girl off the ventilator after his order expires.
Jahi underwent tonsil surgery to correct sleep apnea on Dec. 9; she began suffering complications including bleeding after the surgery, went into cardiac arrest and was declared brain dead Dec. 12. Since then, the family has been embroiled in a public battle with hospital administrators in a case that has gained national attention, at one point saying that the hospital's chief of pediatrics told them the girl needed to be taken off the ventilator "quickly."
After the hearing Monday, Dr. David Durand, Children's Hospital Oakland's chief of pediatrics, spoke to the media for the first time and said that Jahi's condition was the result of a "very complex surgery. It was more complex than just a tonsillectomy."
When pressed, Durand said he was unable to discuss the case any further. Hospital officials have repeatedly declined to discuss specifics of the case, citing medical privacy laws and asking the family's permission to release information.
The family also wants to bring in a second expert: Dr. Paul A. Byrne, neonatologist, pediatrician and clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Toledo's College of Medicine, who has clashed with other physicians over the diagnosis of "brain dead." Byrne, a devout Catholic, has said that brain death is not true death, a belief that contrasts with the majority of the medical establishment.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with Monday's ruling. Jahi's grandmother, Sandra Chatman, said it would allow Jahi's family to be "a little settled."
"We're not totally satisfied," she said. "But we do feel like we are finally being heard, and that this is a step toward making sure that Jahi is still alive on Christmas, and that's been very important to us since the beginning of this whole thing."
The results of the independent expert's examination of Jahi will do little to shake the family's faith that she can recover. Her mother, Nailah Winkfield, said Monday she has no plans to turn off Jahi's breathing machine if the exam shows the teen has no brain activity. Dolan, the family's attorney, said the hospital cannot make the decision to remove Jahi from the machines keeping her alive.
"It is our position that no doctor's determination can end a life without parental consent," he said, adding that he will "seek a writ with the court" independent of the doctor's decision to keep Jahi alive through the holiday. The family has cited their strong faith in prayer and are asking that Jahi remain alive through the holiday.
Dolan also said the family is "desperately seeking" to move Jahi to another facility where she can be kept on a ventilator, but that the process has been difficult because of the Christmas season.
"We are sorry that Jahi McMath suffered tragic complications from her complex surgery," Durand said in a statement emailed to reporters after the hearing. "Our hearts go out to the grieving family and community about this sad situation. We look forward to the independent expert's evaluation of the patient."
Chatman sat in the front row of the hearing with Jahi's mother, Nailah Winkfield and Nailah's husband, Martin Winkfield. Nailah and Martin Winkfield wore black T-shirts with picture's of Jahi on the front and back and the emblazoned words "Pray for Jahi."
While the hearing took place at a downtown Oakland court, about 50 family members and supporters participated in an hourlong march that looped in a mile around North Oakland, beginning and ending at Children's Hospital Oakland, carrying signs and chanting "Keep Jahi alive."
Derrick Mann, Jahi's godfather and pastor at Yeshua Ministries of Hayward, led a prayer at the end of the march, calling upon God to go into the hospital and breathe life into Jahi.
"I feel like they should keep her on life support as long as they can," said Chequalah McMath, 21, Jahi's older sister. "I feel it's wrong to pull the plug just because they want to. I feel like there is hope if we just leave it up to God. We pray every day, all day and all night."
A judge ruled last week that officials at the hospital were to keep Jahi on the ventilator until the court-appointed doctor examined her. Nailah Winkfield sent out pictures through social media on Monday showing that Jahi's ventilated breaths were reduced from 15 to 13, but Dr. Durand said that such a change is in keeping with "the status quo" of maintaining Jahi's condition. Judge Grillo emphasized at the hearing that the restraining order remains in effect at least until Tuesday morning.
In a legal filing, an attorney for Children's Hospital Oakland maintained that "two separate Children's physicians determined that Ms. McMath was brain dead. In addition, at the request of the family, three additional independent physicians -- unaffiliated with Children's and either selected or approved by Ms. McMath's family/next of kin -- examined Ms. McMath.
"Each confirmed the diagnosis of brain death. ... Accordingly, Children's has declared Ms. McMath to be dead."
But supporters are praying for Jahi's recovery.
"It's God's decision and not anybody else's, when they should go," said Diana Romero of Hayward, who decided to attend Monday's rally and march after reading about it in the news. "I think it's the hospital's mistake so they should give the family as much time as they need."
On Sunday, faith leaders called on Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley to open an investigation into the case and called on the hospital to punish certain administrators whom the family said have been insensitive to their grieving. Chief on their list was Durand, whom they demanded should be disciplined or required to attend sensitivity training. The family has accused him of being insensitive in private meetings. Durand did not address those accusations on Monday.
