One of the men who wants to become Virginia's next attorney general is rolling out a plan to keep kids safer from online predators.
Republican Mark Obenshain wants to beef up the number of state attorneys responsible for prosecuting child exploitation cases. Obenshain says it's part of staying on top of criminals who use the internet to target children.
"With the changing landscape, we need to change our laws and change our tactics," Obenshain said Tuesday.
According to the Obenshain campaign, "one in five teenagers who use the internet regularly say they have received an unwanted sexual solicitation online, and only a quarter of those who received such a solicitation tell a parent or other adult."
Obenshain made his latest policy announcement Tuesday alongside Albemarle Delegate Rob Bell.
"Damages done to the children can often be life-altering and severe, so these are among the most important cases we address," Bell said.
Right now, a group of three state attorneys travels the commonwealth prosecuting cases of child exploitation. In the past three years, they have convicted 75 predators in 23 localities.
Obenshain says he wants to build on that record of success by boosting the number of prosecutors employed by the attorney general's office. He also wants to dedicate some child exploitation prosecutors to specific areas with higher rates of exploitation cases.
"It may not be, necessarily, in the larger metropolitan areas," Obenshain said. "We're going to place them where they're going to have the most significant impact in protecting kids across Virginia."
Obenshain says he would also work with his former colleagues in the General Assembly to increase penalties for some related crimes.
In response, Democratic attorney General nominee Mark Herring accused Obenshain Tuesday of flip-flopping on the issues.
"Candidate Mark Obenshain is again refusing to acknowledge Senator Mark Obenshain's extreme record. It's unfortunate that during his time in the Senate, Mark Obenshain put his own personal ideology ahead of keeping children safe," Herring campaign spokesman Matt Wojtkun said.
The two will meet for at least one more live debate in October.

Last spring, Fenn earned an AAS degree in aviation from MSU's College of Technology and is currently an instructor pilot while working toward his bachelor of arts degree.
Maddey Pflaumer is named 4A KingCo Player of the Year
March 1, 2011
The Issaquah High School girls basketball team could always count on Maddey Pflaumer this season. Whether she played forward or point guard, the 5-foot-11 senior always gave the Eagles her best.
Pflaumer's efforts were noticed by other 4A KingCo Conference coaches, too. When the league's coaches got together to select the all-conference team, Pflaumer was chosen as the 4A KingCo's Player of The Year.
"She did a fantastic job for us this year," Issaquah coach Kathy Gibson said. "When I called her to tell her she was selected as MVP, she was surprised."
The fact Pflaumer was selected to the all-league team wasn't a huge surprise to others; she was regarded as one of KingCo's top returning players when the season began. Pflaumer was selected to the all-league first team as a junior, and prior to this season, signed a national letter of intent to play for Seattle Pacific University.
But Pflaumer was given new responsibilities at mid-season when senior point guard Blaire Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury. Pflaumer was switched to point guard.
"Maddey really stepped up and carried us. She wasn't a true point guard, but she did what we needed her to do. She really rose to the occasion," Gibson said. "Other coaches in the league recognized her performance."

Aktivait - a nutraceutical for cats and dogs
Brain ageing in both humans and pets is the subject of the latest and most topical research and development. By focusing on how nutritional micro management can assist in reducing the most common age-related diseases, scientists have been able to achieve remarkable results.
Oxidative stress and free radical damage
Humans and animals produce harmful free radicals on a daily basis. In young healthy dogs and cats, antioxidants neutralise these free radicals and equilibrium occurs. Unfortunately, as animals age they produce more free radicals but have a decreasing amount of antioxidants. This leads to an excess of free radicals, which damage the cells and cell contents, especially DNA, lipid membranes and proteins. This in turn can lead to the development of disease and related problems.
What age related symptoms would my cat or dog show?
Animal behaviourists identify four distinct symptoms of cognitive dysfunction:
1. Disorientation
2. Loss of house training
3. Irregular sleep
4. Reduced interaction
How does Aktivait help prevent the ageing process?
Aktivait is the first supplement to combine all the nutrients necessary for sustaining optimum function. It contains a complex mix of antioxidants (vitamins C, E, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl cysteine) and compounds necessary for optimum metabolism and function of the nerve cells (Carnitine, DHA/EPA and phosphotidylserene). It can also help prevent free radical damage and improve electrical transmission between nerve cells.
When should I give my dog Aktivait?
For best results supplementation should begin in mid-life. Unfortunately, most owners wait until a problem occurs and in this case you should seek advice from your vets.
How to administer
Aktivait comes in a convenient capsule so it is easy to administer, and can either be sprinkled onto your pet's food or given whole.
Is there anything else I can do to help?
Yes. Keeping your pet's weight within the normal range, with a sensible feeding and exercise regime, will benefit your pet as it gets older. Ask your veterinary surgeon for more information and advice.
How long will it take to work?
Noticeable improvements from Aktivait have been reported as early as 3-4 weeks after the start of supplementation but this will vary by age, breed and weight.

My Darling City, Barcelona
One of the things I was impressed about traveling in Barcelona was the colorful exteriors of the buildings. There seems to be no ordinary building in Barcelona. They may be ordinary in shape and structure but each building boasted of unique and beautiful wall designs.

On Ramblas street (Las Ramblas) in Barcelona there is a historical market named La Boqueria that has been around since 1882.

Survey: Re-nest Book Club: Take Two?
As of yesterday, we officially finished the first round of the re-nest book club. We personally enjoyed reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and really appreciated all the comments left throughout the last few weeks by people who were reading along with us.
Now the question is: Do we do it again?
We've learned from a few mistakes already. Next time around, we would definitely take on a more aggressive reading schedule (I'm pretty sure we finished the book a solid month after the rest of you). If we were to do it again, what suggestions do you have? Please answer this quick survey and leave your comments below!

I think we should definitely keep the club going! The tough part about starting it when it did was that it ran right over the holidays, which is a crazy time for everyone. I think it will be even more successful when it is not overlapped by a big holiday.
I liked the book club a lot, although I definitely lost momentum when I finished the book weeks before the club did... it was hard to post thoughtfully when I couldn't remember what was in each chapter. Maybe we should make the time period the same length as the average library loan, since my copy ended up 21 days overdue! ;)
I liked the idea of the book club, but would like a shorter schedule. Or as an alternative, AT Green could post when they start reading a book, giving us notice to either read it too or refresh our memories, then when AT posts a review we could all join in with our own reviews? It'd be less formal than a bookclub, not sure if that'd suit people.
PS - I'm logged in, but it still won't let me take the survey?
I think the book club is a great idea, even if only for good environmental book suggestions. I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle after seeing it here, and really enjoyed it. definitely a shorter reading schedule!
(It won't let me answer the survey either, but count my vote as yes!)
Anyone have a suggestion for the next book?
Ditto on the survey issue.
I posted affirmative to continuing the club on the survey just now.
I agree about the shorter schedule though. I got the book from the library way after others and still finished it at least a few weeks earlier.
re: survey issue
try refreshing the page after logging in, that works for me

Using mpv to escape start and end of videos (like in anime, tv shows etc)
Sometimes we like to watch cool starting and ends of videos (like the heart touching ending), but after a time those could become repetitive and boring. Also, if you are just starting to watch a series recommended by others, those extra 5 minutes could be saved to watch next video and progress quickly. In this tutorial, I wish to tackle that problem. Since I love mplayer/smplayer for playing most videos, I am not going to deviate from those lines. Therefore, I am going to use mpv (mpv is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer) for our purpose.

Using Transmission Remote as your default bittorrent client
Transmission is a torrent client that comes pre-installed with most linux based operating systems like Ubuntu, Elementary OS, Linux Mint etc. However, in this post I am going to talk about transmission-remote, a command line variant of this popular torrent client. I have been using it for past 6 months, and I like it very much. With it I can control the client using terminal commands, using a web browser or "transmission remote" android or a gtk GUI applications. I also use different key bindings to control behaviors like pause the torrents, start them, or use alternate speeds. I also use other torrent clients for smaller download sessions, but transmission-remote is my default torrent client for most of my downloads. I use "transmission-remote-gtk" GUI tool for commands I don't want to remember e.g creating labels (a label is an alias for specifying a download directory and you can have as many as you like), changing the queue size etc.

Learning Emacs
In this tutorial, I am going to talk about setting up emacs so that it will be easier for new users to get to their programming or editing tasks without much barrier.
If you don't know emacs's basic keys (at least the movement and editing keys), you need to keep a note of some of the most frequently used ones. You can copy the commands using some websites containing the basics (e.g http://mally.stanford.edu/~sr/computing/emacs.html) or use the list from "Movement" section below.
Toggle keyboard keys in Linux using terminal commands
It is easier to use GUI tools to setup keyboard shortcuts, but sometimes you need to map certain keys for typical purpose (e.g swapping caps and esc when using vim). In this tutorial I will try to list different linux tools and scripts that you can use to do these tasks (you might have to install them from your distribution's repository).

Few vim tricks
1. Ctags
Ctags lets you tag your current code and header files. It supports many languages. With tagging, when you are writing code, you can quickly traverse to the declarations and definitions of functions and variables. Once you install ctags in your distribution issue following command to tag source code (after you know where the source code for the library or program you want to tag exists).
X86 disassembly
In this tutorial I will list some techniques to understand a basic Linux program. I will use a simple assembly program that uses nasm syntax. Common program format in Linux uses GNU assembler syntax. Therefore, this tutorial does not cover understanding that syntax (which I might do in future). Lets get started.

Best truly French croissants in Berkeley?
- Kitchen Imp Aug 16, 2006 07:41 AM
Can anyone tell me where I can get the most Parisian croissants possible in Berkeley? Price ranges? I'd like to give a French expat a taste of home.
re: dordogne
In case you want to check out Masse's - http://www.massespastries.com/
I'm going to third it: La Farine. I'm also going to second the opinion that their croissants (La Farine) are better than the average Parisian croissant. Also, one of you ought to have a morning bun, while you're there. Sensational.
re: rworange
La Farine's croissant isn't bready. It's flaky.
Do you mean it's not oozing butter?
re: Robert Lauriston
Nope. I meant what I said. It is bready and the outside is not as flakey as Masses.
Acme makes a great ham and cheese turnover that is croissant-like.
The croissants I had when last in France mostly left much to be desired. They were over-crispy, i.e., dried out or over-bready. I had a couple of good ones in Bordeaux and none in Paris, Marseilles or Nice.
I fourth La Farine. I've never been to the one on Solano, only the Oakland one. Is it the same owner?
re: oakjoan
Same owner, same products, same croissant.
re: oakjoan
Aaah, Bordeaux. In that round plaza in front of the cathedral with the flea market
and the basketball court, over on the other side there's a tiny little bakery run by
a friendly woman who laughs with you not at you when you try to speak her language
and who makes what as far as I know is the finest croissant on earth.
But that's not Paris. If I had a Parisian friend in town, I'd consider stopping by Masse's
for some sweets and then strolling down to the French Hotel for a couple of espressos
to accompany them. Or if it was someone I wanted to keep here I'd take them to
La Farine in the morning for a hot-from-the-oven morning bun. They're almost
but just barely not quite better than that place in Bordeaux.
re: Chuckles the Clone
I'd take a French person to Fruitvale for churros.
re: Robert Lauriston
I agree! And tacos.
My coworkers and I did an croissant-off experiment between Masse's and LaFarine: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/show/...
All the same, I prefer LaFarine because I like saltier croissants, and LaFarine is overall better at the bread thing.
I forgot, Bay Breads is now selling at the Temescal Farmers market on Sunday. Their regular croissant is nothing to write Paris about, IMO, but there have been a lot of raves about the almond croissant which is as good as everyone says.
The Temescal market is on the Berkely/Oakland border off of Telegraph at 52nd.
Having returned from France just two weeks ago, I would agree that Masses is the place to go in Berkeley. They have the flakiest, most buttery croissants. I have always loved them and after our trip, I know why. They come the closest to the best croissants we had in France. Their other desserts are also usually quite fabulous as well. Anything lemon is good and their raspberry chocolate cake is the best of that combination that I have ever had!
I vote La Farine's, and while you are there try the Princess cake, a slice of marzipan heaven.
Thanks - you lot are great! Said Frenchman and I actually live very close to both Masse's and La Farine, so I'll arrange a taste test Saturday morning and will report back what the native connoisseur has to say. It will be interesting to compare his results with the test by coolbean98 & colleagues, mentioned above.
re: Kitchen Imp
You'll have to share your findings with us! I'm still rooting for La Farine but admittedly last month we were in the Perigord region of southwest France, where there's a hotel that makes my favorite croissants ever, and they were much more like Masse's in terms of butteriness and flavor. In any case, I'm sure you'll have a great Saturday morning! Bon apetit!
re: coolbean98
FYI, if you have recs for Perigord for this poster, please share them here -
re: Melanie Wong
Gah, I'm so jealous of him! I wonder if he can smuggle me in his suitcase?
re: coolbean98
No sympathy from me, at least you've been there before, TWICE. Broke my heart to have to deadhead on the peage from Castelnaudry to Bordeaux and not make the detour. Thanks for following up.
re: jiongliu
La Farine's are great.
re: feedzone
The morning buns are good but what I don't like is that you can't get them fresh from the oven. Early on I figured I would show up at 8 when they open and get them fresh. Well, they are "freshly" baked hours before and sit on rolling storage shelves. I've had one fresh one, warm and buttery, and it was divine. Wholly different from the usual La Farine morning bun. I suppose I could bring one home and warm it up. But fresh from the oven is best.
I love the size of all the freshly baked pastries at Oliveto Cafe. Think anti-Cinnabon. The croissants are always all over the plate and table when my 3 year old snarfs one. I vacuum them up so quickly not a crumb falls. They incidentally make some fine espresso drinks here - among the finest in the Bay Area on occasion. The milk is understood here, not abused as is so frequently the case. Add some marmalade to that croissant and bada bing.
Taste-Test Results
I presented the Frenchman with half of one plain croissant from La Farine and half of one from Masse's, without telling him which was which. He ate most of one in silence, then ate the other, then went back and ate the last bit of the first one. Here's what he had to say thereafter, more or less verbatim, as fast as I could scribble it down. (Since he didn't know which was which, I've put the bakeries' names in his comments.)
There were no "Ah! I'm having a Proustian moment! It takes me right back to childhood!" reactions, though he did pronounce both of them reasonably authentic.
Quoth the Frenchman:
On appearance - "They both look like French croissants. La Farine's is cuter." (It was nicely curved and had a quite high, springy center.)
On taste, texture, etc - "Both of them could have been made in France, but in a less expensive place than a pastry shop, like a supermarket bakery or a bakery that delivers to cafes. There's nothing wrong with that. Every week I'd go to the bakery in the supermarket to get croissants.
"Masse's tastes like it was made by someone who learned in France -- there's the right proportion of butter -- except it doesn't taste like French butter at all. It's a cheesy butter, so it's kind of exotic to me. It's unlike the French butter that should be more creamy.
"La Farine's tastes like it's some kind of hybrid between the original French recipe and American tastes. Some third culture emerged between the two in the making of this croissant and decided to have the least butter possible. It's not how pastry croissants should taste. You *can* find croissants like this in France in a supermarket bakery, but not in a pastry shop. I have a feeling that somebody learned to make croissants in France and transmitted the recipe to someone else, who changed the proportion of the ingredients and then taught it to someone here. People must want this who think less butter is healthier.
"Which I would choose would depend on my mood. I don't think one is better than the other. They're both like croissants I could get in Paris in a supermarket. That's the kind of croissant you can get in a lot of cafes, too."
And here's my reaction:
Not being French in any way, shape, or form (but admittedly having lived in Paris for a brief time), this American votes for Masse's, hands down. La Farine's had very little butter and a much crispier crust, which I didn't like as much.
Stay tuned for next week, when we'll go back for Pain au Chocolat/Chocolatine.
re: Kitchen Imp
Thanks for the report back. Interesting observation.
Don't forget about that almond croisant at the Bay Breads stand at the Temescal Farmers Market.
Don't know from real French croissants either since I didn't eat too many of them when there. To my personal tastes I didn't like the Bay Breads plain croissant, but who knows?
I don't know about the chocolate at Bay Breads. I usually buy it early in the morning at the location in SF. At that time of day the chocolate inside is still warm and partly liquid, so what's not to like.
But that almond croissant ... any place ... any time.
General Temescal report
re: rworange
We'll definitely try out the almond croissants. Thanks for the tip.
re: Kitchen Imp
That report was awesome! I loved The Frenchman's comments, esp "People must want this who think less butter is healthier." I once asked the owner of Masse's about their croisants and at the time she told me they actually lose money on them because they use so much butter in it. I would imagine using real French/Normandy butter (I'm drooling just thinking about it) would drive them into the poorhouse, but god, would I love them for it!
re: Kitchen Imp
OMG! Is he, like, some kind of baking genius? Or just a run-of-the-mill French food eater? Fascinating.
re: KateC.
Just a run-of-the-mill lifetime croissant-eater... and a true chowhound. We never did get around to the pain au chocolat taste-off, though the time might be ripe. Maybe this weekend!
I wonder if Masse's and/or La Farine would be willing to reveal where they buy their butter?
I showed my daughters (11 and 13) this thread and they insisted on repeating the experiment. So this morning we went around to Masse's and La Farine (Berkeley), buying a croissant and pain au chocolat at each.
Masse's croissant is larger, less salty, and slightly sweeter than La Farine's. Holding up the Masse's, my younger daughter said, "This one is crisp all the way through." The glaze on top was also better. Hands down preferred by all of us.
The pain au chocolat test was more inconclusive. La Farine's is bigger, and has a single layer of chocolate. It tasted like better chocolate to me, but maybe there was just more of it. Masse's smaller offering has two tunnels of chocolate rather than one layer; it is a bit less crisp inside than their croissant, but still crisper than La Farine's croissant. So it depends if the pastry or the filling takes preference for you.
Neither of these can hold a candle to the best we had in Paris in July (at Eric Kayser and Poujauran/Secco), but they're better than Parisian supermarket viennoiserie (which we sometimes resort to when we need to feed the kids en route to somewhere fast).
We also picked up a morning bun at La Farine, which has way too much butter and sugar in it. I'll post separately on other items at Masse's, because it's off-topic for this thread.
Oh, yes: they are quite friendly and chatty at Masse's, and reserved/snooty at La Farine. --PR
re: Prabhakar Ragde
I'n enjoying your posts so much as I always do when your family visits.
It depends when you catch people in both places. I've had snooty at both places and chatty at both. You know who's really snooty, Acme bakery next to Cafe Fanny. I once had someone laugh in my face when I asked for a seeded baguette and say in a tone like I committed some sort of bread faux-pas "We don't make those here". Yikes. It's just bread, lighten up.
I'm also in the minority of not being a fan of La Farine's morning bun. It is not so much the butter as it is the sugar. I'm not a granulated suger on pastry person, so that texture puts me off.
Have you ever stopped by Lola's on Solano for the baked goods? They are doing summer fruit now which is wonderful. Also, they make some nice jams. If they still have the peach rosemary, I highly recommend it. Take-out only and they are closed Monday and Tuesday. They are my favorite baked goods in the Bay Area. It is really a place that makes baked chicken. I am not so into their other dishes. The strombolli are good. Never tried the pizza. The calzone have good ingrediants, but IMO the crust is too thin to hold up. Nice enough mini quiche, but their shining dishes are the baked chicken and the baked goods/jellies. Mighty fine granola too.
We're leaving early Wednesday, so Lola will have to wait for a future visit. Though you mentioned it in advance of our last visit, if I remember correctly. I stuck my head in at some point, but we had reservations that night. --PR

© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- The Covington City Council recently decided not to pursue a state grant that would partially fund two public transportation programs, but agreed to examine other options in the future.
The city's grant writer, Randy Conner, informed the council that grants administered through the Atlanta Regional Commission could be used to provide transportation for commuters, the disabled and seniors.
The Job Access and Reverse Commute Program would provide transportation to residents who commute to Atlanta for their jobs. Residents could be transported from Newton County to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority's park and ride location at Church in the Now in Conyers.
The New Freedom Program would provide low-cost transportation to disabled residents ages 19 to 59 and seniors age 60 and older to and from doctor appointments, the drugstore and grocery store. This service was previously offered by Newton County Senior Services but was discontinued due to budget cuts, Conner said. The city could partner with Senior Services, which already has the management structure in place, he said.
The same vehicles could be used for both programs to save money, Conner said. The cost to the city would be roughly $76,000 annually per program, not counting any money that might be saved by consolidating the two programs. That does not include fuel and maintenance of vehicles and other miscellaneous costs. Two vehicles and two to three staff members would be required.
"This is something that would never be self-supporting. It would always require funds from the city," Conner said.
Councilwoman Janet Goodman made the motion to move forward with the grant application, saying residents have been requesting public transportation for 15 years. Councilwoman Hawnethia Williams seconded the motion, but abstained when it came time to vote after hearing that if the city is approved, but opts to turn down the grant, there could be a stigma and it might not be considered for funds in the future. Since an abstention is considered a vote in favor, the motion failed 4 to 2.
The council agreed with City Manager Steve Horton's recommendation to consider in the future a residential bus or trolley line running inside city limits.
"I think we need to study this a little bit more before we say yes," said Councilwoman Ocie Franklin.

"Gospel of Jesus' wife" fragment is a fake, Vatican daily says
An ancient papyrus fragment which a Harvard scholar says contains the first recorded mention that Jesus may have had a wife is a fake, the Vatican said on Friday.
"Substantial reasons would lead one to conclude that the papyrus is indeed a clumsy forgery," the Vatican's newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said in an editorial by its editor, Gian Maria Vian. "In any case, it's a fake."
Joining a highly charged academic debate over the authenticity of the text, written in ancient Egyptian Coptic, the newspaper published a lengthy analysis by expert Alberto Camplani of Rome's La Sapienza university, outlining doubts about the manuscript and urging extreme caution.
The fragment, which reads "Jesus said to them, my wife" was unveiled by Harvard Professor Karen King as a text from the 4th century at a congress of Coptic Studies in Rome last week.
Her study divided the academic community, with some hailing it as a landmark discovery while others rapidly expressed their doubts .
"It's really pretty unlikely that it's authentic," University of Durham Professor Francis Watson told Reuters after he published a paper arguing the words on the fragment were a rearrangement of phrases from a well known Coptic text.

The state of Sarawak is one of the most culturally rich and naturally beautiful states in Malaysia. This is where one is able to visit the likes of Niah and Mulu caves as well as a wide range of islands and resorts. Apart from that Sarawak also offers many traditional communities where one is able to enjoy the culture within the different societies here. In the major cities and towns like Kuching, Miri and Sibu, there are many hotels and resorts available while there are also homestay options which are more economical and affordable.
Apart from the common residential homes in the neighbourhoods, one can also choose to stay at the longhouses by the many indigenous groups around the state. Most of the homestay options here provide lodging and most basic facilities while those that offer meals like lunch and dinner are the more popular choices as they allow the visitor to try the local, traditional dishes.

- IRIS has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 2.66, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry. The net income increased by 452.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$0.34 million to $1.21 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 289.41% to $3.01 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, IRIS INTERNATIONAL INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 13.55%.
- The gross profit margin for IRIS INTERNATIONAL INC is rather high; currently it is at 58.30%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, IRIS's net profit margin of 3.90% significantly trails the industry average.

Nice idea, but it won't work. My take is that most will no flag until forced too, because like every twink camping the graveyard just says they are there to beat up the scrubs. Sort of like arena get a ranking get a ranking and gear then reform so you can get more gear. This will fail just like the hidden arena ranking failed.
So the rules have not changed avoid BG's til 49, have some fun, definetly skip 59 unless your a DK then you and a gazzillion other dk can beat each other up. if you feel like it do 69 or 70 but your so close just get to 80. Do a few of weeks of naked arena get your wellfair gear and go have some fun in the bg's

Stanford women's basketball: 3 frosh starters in 2013-14?
As many as three of September's incoming freshmen may become starters next season for the Stanford women's team. Two of them are McDonald's All-Americans, Erica McCall of Bakersfield and Kailee Johnson of Portland, Ore. Both are 6-foot-3 and athletic. Then there's 5-7 point guard Lili Thompson of Mansfield, Texas. She'll probably back up Amber Orrange. And […] [Read More]
Stanford women's basketball: Lower the rim?
The idea has been on the back burner for many years, but later this spring UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma says he'll propose that the rim be lowered from 10 feet to 9 or 9 1/2 feet. DePaul coach Doug Bruno has been pushing for this since the 1970s, and he told Tom FitzGerald […] [Read More]
Stanford basketball: Of dogs, cows and Lady Bulldogs
Tara VanDerveer has been head coach at Stanford since 1985, and Andy Landers has been in charge at Georgia since 1979. The two have been good friends and recruiting rivals. Between them they have nearly 1,800 wins as head coaches over a combined 72 seasons at various schools (Landers 904, VanDerveer 894). In NCAA Tournament play, […] [Read More]
Stanford women's basketball: VanDerveer overcame injuries
Some thoughts about the Duke game, the chances of knocking off Baylor and Stanford's home attendance: This has been one of Tara VanDerveer's finest coaching jobs. Remember, Jasmine Camp was a starting guard when she went down for the season after just eight games. She was Stanford's second leading scorer (with 14 points) in the loss at […] [Read More]
Stanford women's basketball: How will the refs call it?
In tonight's Stanford-West Virginia game, it will be very interesting to see whether the officials call the game tightly or let the women play. I think the top-seeded Cardinal should win by about 15, but the Mountaineers' post players, 6-foot-4 Asya Bussie and 6-3 Ayana Dunning, are big enough and physical enough to give the […] [Read More]
Stanford women's basketball: Agent Orrange is a key
The Cardinal are about to hit the road, not being able to host first- and second-round games this year. Although they'll be one of the top four seeds, they are probably going to have to travel two time zones for the first time in 11 years, as I wrote recently. For Stanford, the most promising […] [Read More]
Stanford women's basketball: Picked 1st again
The Pac-12 has four new head coaches in women's basketball, but one thing remains the same: the expectation that Stanford will rule again. The Cardinal women were picked as the preseason favorite for the 11th year in a row by the conference coaches. Stanford received 11 first-place votes; that's the maximum because coaches were not […] [Read More]

The 6-0, 175-pounder has been hearing from a number of Pac-12 schools, though and thinks that first offer could be just around the corner.
"I just recently heard from Oregon, and they've been sending a whole bunch of letters, and asking for my transcripts," said Johnson. "Colorado, Arizona State and UCLA are also sending me a bunch of letters. I'm going to Arizona State for spring practice and I'm going to get up to Oregon and I'm going to get out to UCLA too."
Johnson has lengthy ties with Colorado, where his father, Terry Sr., was a linebacker with the Buffs during the 1989 and 1990 seasons, when Colorado went to consecutive Orange Bowls and won the 1990 national title.
"My dad played with Coach (Eric) Bieniemy and Coach (Brian) Cabral and Coach (Kanahvis) Mcghee and also Coach (Jon) Embree," said Johnson. "So I've got a lot of ties there. I went to their camp last summer and worked quite a bit with Coach (Greg) Brown and the defensive backs."
With ties to the Pac-12, and living on the West Coast, Johnson's hope is to stay out that way.
"My goal is to stay in the Pac-12," said Johnson.
An offer from Colorado would make him that much more interested in his father's alma mater, and Johnson said that Oregon stands as a school he'd like an offer from.
Johnson said that he wants to get up to 185 by the time the season starts and wants to be at 190 by the time he starts college.
Academically, he's planning to take the SAT and ACT this spring.

Vintage Cover: Classic Arizona, August 1948
4 responses to "Vintage Cover: Classic Arizona, August 1948"
I love that you have been posting old covers. Would it be too much to ask for you to include a short description and photographic credits? i.e. Suzzie Yazzie weaving near Monument Valley, photo by Josef Muench.
i took my hispanic wife on a road trip in 2003 to the hispanic pueblitos in northern new mexico (sheep raising, weaving tradition). the intent was to introduce her to the hispanic method of weaving, whereby the loom is mechanical, with foot treadles, etc. no way jose! she still prefers the upright loom that the great navajo weavers have always used. portable too!
My grandfather shot some Native American photos for Arizona Highways magazine around that time- and did some illustrations. When he died, my grandmother lost all most all of his work except for 3 paintings and two photographs (which I don't know if they were actually used in the magazine).
His name was Angelo Mangino. I would love to find out what pics he did that were published.
It takes your cheater for being extremely correct regarding his markings, although in the event
they really does a superb career, no one although him
or her will ever before spot the marking. We will encounter the gender

Director of the Sophia Center James Conlon received the Thomas Berry Great Work Award on July 18 at the Valley Center for the Performing Arts at Holy Names University. Mary Evelyn Tucker, senior lecturer and senior research scholar at Yale University and trustee of the Thomas Berry Foundation, bestowed the award to Conlon.
The Thomas Berry Great Work Award recognizes individuals in higher education whose work exemplifies Berry's admonition that colleges and universities should "reorient the human community toward a greater awareness that the human exists, survives, and becomes whole only within the single great community of the planet Earth."
Conlon has served as the director of the Sophia Center at HNU for more than 17 years, and has taught, written, and lectured on spirituality and culture, theological education, social and ecological justice, and community organization and development for 30 years. He is the author of several books, including the recently published Sacred Butterflies: Poems, Prayers and Practices (Wyndham Hall Press, 2013), which urges readers to create a dynamic integration of their interior life and everyday world.
The award presentation took place on the first evening of the Sophia Center's Summer Institute, which brought together spirituality, ecology, and social justice leaders to discuss nature and the soul. Speakers included Stephen Dunn, founder of the Elliott Allen Institute on Theology and Ecology at St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto; David Abram, a cultural ecologist, philosopher, and performance artist; and Thomas Moore, author of the bestselling book Care of the Soul and 15 other books on deepening spirituality and cultivating the soul. The center also hosted a post-institute retreat titled "Tapping into Nature's Mysterious Power with Thomas Moore."

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 264 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Larry787 Nice hotel/Nice location Great location and nice hotel overall. There is really not much special about the hotel other than its location in Old San Juan. Staff is friendly, check in was easy and fast, room was very clean. However, elevators take time to arrive and need a cleaning. Main entrance is unmarked off the Main Street an difficult to locate. No electricity on the second day (staff stated it was city wide but everywhere else we went had electricity). July 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by JRGold The Worst I have stayed at This is the worst Sheraton I have stayed. The front desk staff was very unfriendly, inexperienced. I was double charged for my room and over limited my credit card. Waited 3 hours at check in for a clean room when others were allowed to check in. Was woke up at 4am by hotel security for the room next to me, was told by the front desk it was a simple wake up call. March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kevint We enjoyed our stay. Good location. Walking distance to everything in Old San Juan. Big rooms. I was hoping to save a bit and self-park, but we spent the extra $5/ day to Valet as parking lots can get full and streets can get crowded. If I didn't have extended family with me, I would've parked a few blocks away in a super cheap lot. We got lucky with a room facing the cruise ships (probably the best view from this hotel). Our friend's room had a view of a parking garage. Friendly staff. Pool was a bit small, but we didn't choose this hotel to swim. The hot tub water was a greenish-brown color, but we didn't tell anyone about it for them to correct it. One morning we were woken by sounds of intermittent banging. Not sure where they were coming from (stairway or room above). It lasted about 10 minutes. The hotel staff was great at suggesting places to eat. I would go back to this hotel. March 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Amy48 A little disappointed... Check in was to be at 3 and room not ready until 5pm, the screws to the dead locks kept falling out, the panels were broken on the window/door, and the swimming pool is small. Not enough area to sunbathe. The closest beach is 25 minutes away and we were told that a shuttle would transport to and from the airport...not true. We were disappointed. March 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaineVisiter Great location, Outstanding Food and Spectacular Service! Absolutely best hotel to stay in if you are going to San Juan. Located in Old San Juan it is the only name-brand chain there. Hotel was clean, employees were friendly, room was perfect and the casino was nice. We ate in both the dining room and the Chicago Burger restaurant located in the hotel. Food was great in both. March 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dexter Not too shabby The location of the hotel was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Casino was a little dated. The main restaurant in the hotel was closed on Monday which we didn't realize till we went down for dinner, then had to come up with a last minute change which took a little time. The bathroom had, had the caulking with mold on it just caulked over instead of being stripped of and done new. March 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by wdc1 Ok, stay Stayed after a cruise. Location was good in Old San Juan. We had to notify the desk twice about what looked like small ants in our room. Room service was quick and food was good. Maid service did not make up our room timely one of the days we were there. We were out for almost 8 hrs and room had not been made. July 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lori34 The hotel was in a great location. The hotel was located in old San Juan and you could walk or take the free trolley to most places. The pool is very small and they never had any towels. Also people were spilling drinks in the hot tub which was really gross. They shouldn't allow alcohol in the hot tub. April 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Betty04 Great Hotel This hotel was great. My husband and I travel the world extensively and were so impressed with the customer service - from checking in with Sibelia -her smile and cheerfulness- to checking out with Marco-his helpfulness and friendly attitude, which means so much to us. The hotel was very close to everything and very clean! Highly recommend this hotel!! September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tati51 great location first time staying in old san juan and it was an excellent choice - the hotel is located near the docks where cruise ships arrive - you can take the ferry to catano for the barcardi visit - you can pick up the trolley a block over - the hotel has two great restaurants but there is an abundance of restaurants throughout to satisfy everyone's taste - October 5, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by JCM2 Two awful nights I spent two awful nights in room #900 in the Sheraton Old San Juan. The walls are paper thin and every sound echoed making sleep next to impossible. 1) Young adults up amd down halls slamming doors 2) Music in the Gym blaring all night 3) Elevator dinging due to be held open by quests 4) Towel cart from pool clanking on the ceramic floor tiles August 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sfruth This the THE hotel to stay at This was our first visit to Puerto Rico, and not having a lot of traveling experience, we were so warmly greeted and felt welcomed, esp by Luis D right at the door !!! He and the hard working bellman were always there to answer questions and direct us in the right direction! March 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by mellowman4 Dissapointed and Kudos Pool was closed during my stay, price to high considering part of the reason staying at this hotel was because of the pool. Valet parking needs improvement, second time staying at this hotel in 2 months, and valet is very slow. Restaurant manager was friendly, allowed us to come in to hotel 15 minutes before it opened, food was amazing. December 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by DANCER952 EXCELLENT AND FRIENDLY STAFF YOUR STAFF EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS AND IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS, PROMPTLY ADDRESSED THEM. THE STAFF ADDRESSED ME BY NAME AND IT MADE ME FEEL VERY SPECIAL. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE BEST BED I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN A HOTEL STAY. IT WAS ACTUALLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM CRUISE TERMINAL - EXCELLENT. August 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmilyK23 Great location, wonderful stay We enjoyed our stay very much. The location in Old San Juan made it perfect for sight seeing and easy access to the pier for a cruise. The staff was helpful and the facilities were very nice. I would definitely stay there again. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LoveOldSanJuan Great Staff The bellmen are superb. So are the front desk staff. Fred, Pedro, Angel and Joseph are super. Others (names?) are also most helpful especially with using PC for airline boarding passes. We keep coming back because of the great staff. March 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by rachel1123 Wonderful Stay We had a wonderful stay - the staff was awesome. We must have been upgraded and the room was beautiful. Thank you for making our last night in San Juan comfortable and memorable. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pucks Relaxing Getaway We came to Old San Juan to escape the winter for a few days. While we had been here before, we had never stayed in the Old San Juan Section. It was delightful and the hotel exceeded all of our expectations. March 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Cswchef Great Location Great location but a very old hotel that is slowly falling apart. Front desk checked us in early which was much appreciated. The room was quite used. Smelled of old. Not modern at all. Next time I will book at the Convention Center Sheraton-much newer. January 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MGW73 No SPG recognition I call your reservation number and they told me they have rooms available. When I get there is only one room available and wasn't what I expected from SPG Members, thank you March 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by AndrewBrooklyn Cool Sharaton + location (Old San Juan) + SPG recognition + friendly staff (generally Puerto Ricans are extremely friendly) + bed (comfy) + gym (surprisingly well equipped) + valet parking (fast service) - breakfast (not as good, not fresh fruits) - slow elevators December 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jerimiah Great location Greta location if you are not a beach person which I am not. Within walking distance of all of Old San Juan. Free trolley stops in front of hotel so you can get anywhere in old San Juan. Room was clean and nice. Staff was very helpful and courteous. November 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kassy12 Incredible Staff Our stay at the Sheraton Old San Juan was wonderful. The staff at this property are fantastic. Every team member went above and beyond my expectations and made our stay perfect. February 19, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dontdoit not pleased was treated differently..check in was selective and delayed also wasn't greeted the same as other guests & wasn't made aware of the hotel amenities...overheard about computer, pool, spa, etc from greeting of guests who checked in after August 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Beci76 This hotel is in a good area Friendly staff, Comfortable rooms. Suggested improvements: Housekeepers were chatting too loudly in corridors during the morning. News channels weren't available in room. July 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Densmore The Best of Old San Juan We have stayed at the Sheraton Old San Juan many times. We like being in that part of the city before our cruise. It has been like we are coming home. It is really enjoyable. February 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melissa68 Great experience for pre/post cruisers The Sheraton is in a great location. You can walk to everything around Old San Juan, including the pier for your cruise. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was great and so was the Chicago Burger place. October 21, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Natasha Best choice for pre-/postcruise stay Location is unbeatable. Rooms are spacious, with good state of A/c. Staff is very helpful and patient, doing their best to serve every weird need of the customer. It would be great if breakfast was complimentary. December 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nedpan Great Hotel, Exellent Staff!!! We had a great time, the staff was great, the concierge Antonio was fabulous, front desk courteous and knowledgeable. All and All great experience. February 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BrownieLady Great Hotel This hotel is now one of my favorites. The location is perfect and the staff are very helpful. I have traveled to Puerto Rico several times and have tried other local hotels, this one is highest on my list. September 3, 2013
