Many people with high blood pressure do not have it under control -- including many people taking high blood pressure medications. It is important to take medication consistently and as directed by a physician. Also, see your physician regularly.
Drug treatment of high blood pressure can significantly reduce the chance of death from heart disease and stroke and the risk of developing other serious health problems.
You may be given one or more drugs for your high blood pressure. In fact, most people with high blood pressure need two or more medications.

Recommendations for specific types of patients.
Types of blood pressure medication
Dozens of high blood pressure drugs are available. They usually fall into the following categories:
How often will I see the doctor?
When medication is first started, your doctor will want to see you back in the office within 1 - 2 months (possibly sooner). Once your blood pressure is under good control on your new drug regimen, the doctor will see you every 3 - 6 months.
Side effects
If you are on medication, you might find the side effects bothersome. If this occurs, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may be able to switch you to a different medication or adjust the dose. Make sure that this is done with your doctor's guidance. Do not stop taking medication or change the dose on your own.
Stopping high blood pressure medications
If your blood pressure has been well-controlled for at least 1 year and you are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle, you may be able to gradually stop taking hypertensive medications. This should be done in a step-down manner (gradual reduction) under the guidance of your physician. Stopping too quickly can have adverse effects, including serious effects on the heart.
Never change your medication on your own -- always follow the guidance of your physician.

Focus on Economic Data: The U.S. Unemployment Rate - June 2, 2006
The unemployment rate fell
Employment increases. An increase of
The unemployment rate for the month of May was 4.6 percent. Total employment rose by 75,000 in May.
The original press release is available at: [EEL-link id='526' title='www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm' ] .
Definition Of The Unemployment Rate
The unemployment rate is the percentage of the U.S. labor force that is unemployed. It is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed individuals by the sum of the number of people unemployed and the number of people employed. The number of people unemployed and the number of people employed is defined as the number of individuals in the labor force. See the current calculation in Table 1.
An individual is counted as unemployed if the individual is over the age of 16 and is actively looking for a job, but cannot find one. Students, those individuals who choose to not work, and retirees are not in the labor force, and therefore not counted in the unemployment rate.
|Total civilian population
|(excluding those under 16, members of the military, and persons in institutions)
|- Not in Labor force
|(retired, students, individuals choosing not to work)
|= Labor force
|(total population minus those not in labor force)
|- Employed
|(individuals with jobs)
|= Unemployed
|(individuals without a job and actively searching)
|Unemployment Rate
143,976,000 + 7,015,000
Data Trends
Unemployment rates have been steady this year. The previous three months have experienced unemployment rates of 4.7 or 4.8 percent. Those rates are below those of 2005 when the average rate was 5.0 percent and significantly below the average rate of 5.5 percent in 2004.
The trends from the beginning of the 1990s to the 2001 recession were a decrease in unemployment and an increase in employment.
Figure 1 shows the rises in unemployment associated with the recession in 1990 to 1991 and the recession of 2001 with an almost decade long fall in unemployment in between. Unemployment rates continued to increase after the 2001 recession, as the economy only slowly recovered.
At its low in December 2000, the unemployment rate equaled 3.9 percent. From March 2001 to the summer 2003, the trend was generally one of increasing unemployment rates and decreasing employment. Unemployment rates since reaching a high of 6.3 percent in June of 2003 slowly and relatively steadily decreased.
Unemployment rates over a longer period are shown in figure 3. As one can see, unemployment rates are currently quite low. They did go below 4 percent at the end of the 1990s, but we would have to back to the 1960s before we find unemployment rates as low as they currently are. Figure 3 also shows the highs reached in recessions in the 1970s and early 1980s recessions of over 8 and 10 percent.
Relevance of Unemployment Announcements
The unemployment announcements receive headline treatment almost every month. Changes are significant indicators of national economic conditions and have relevance to every local community as unemployment has significant costs to the individuals who are unemployed and to the entire community and the U.S. economy.
Changes in levels of employment are also included in the announcements and often receive less attention. However, the employment data are equally, perhaps even more, important indicators of the direction of the U.S. economy.
Announcements of increases in employment have been receiving increased attention. From the recession in 2001 through the year 2004, the economy had not generated sufficient numbers of new jobs to provide new labor market entrants with jobs.
Distribution of Unemployment
Unemployment varies significantly among groups of individuals and parts of the country. Table two shows the unemployment rates for a number of groups of individuals, with unemployment rates ranging from 4.2 for adult males to 14 percent for teenagers.
Table 2: Unemployment Statistics
by Gender, Race and Age
|Adult Men
|Adult Women
Explanations of differences in unemployment rates among groups of individuals and parts of the country are differences in economic conditions, education levels, skills and experience, and discrimination.
A second important part of each month's unemployment announcement is the report of the number of individuals employed. Unemployment and unemployment rates receive much of the press attention and rightfully so. But employment and a loss or gain in jobs are also important, perhaps even more important, indicators of progress in the economy. The failure of the economy to increase the number of jobs as rapidly as we experienced in the 1990s has been of particular interest and concern.
If employment does not increase at the same rate as population growth ultimately means the economy will experience higher unemployment or increasing numbers of individuals will leave the labor force.
Since the beginning of 2004, employment has been on an upward trend at rates that will provide sufficient jobs for new entrants and that trend has continued during April.
Total nonfarm payroll employment (seasonally adjusted) rose by 75,000 in May to a level of more than 135 million jobs. This follows a revised rate of increase of 126,000 jobs in April.
Figure 4 shows that growth in employment slowed in the last part of 2000 and stopped in March of 2001. Employment decreased in all but six of the months from the beginning of the recession in March of 2001 to September of 2003. Finally in September of 2003, employment began to grow and had continued to grow since.
Figure 5 shows the monthly change in employment. If the same percentage of adults are to have jobs, employment needs to grow by somewhere between 125,000 and 150,000 per month.
Increases in employment over the last four months, while still positive, have been getting smaller. We do need to be cautious about any one month's figures, but there were not sufficient jobs created in May to maintain jobs for all entrants.
In each of these instances, the challenges of interpreting changes in unemployment rates under all conditions are significant. In both cases, the unemployment rate moved in a direction that may seem to be counterintuitive. The primary lesson to take away is to be cautious with unemployment data and the interpretation of the data.
The Costs of Unemployment
There are significant personal costs to unemployment and these are the easiest to understand. Unemployed workers often do not have the income to support themselves or their families. The stress of being unemployed is reflected not only through the financial challenges of paying regular ongoing bills, but also through increases in alcohol and drug abuse, marital problems, and criminal activity among those who are unemployed.
State and federal governments reduce the personal financial cost of being unemployed through unemployment compensation provided to many unemployed workers. Because most workers pay the taxes that fund the unemployment compensation, the cost of being unemployed is spread among taxpayers, instead of having the entire burden fall on the unemployed workers alone.
Increases in unemployment also mean that the economy is wasting an important scarce resource - labor. Real GDP is less than it otherwise could be and that additional output is lost forever. If more individuals had been employed, production of goods and services would have been higher. Average standards of living are lower as a result of increases in unemployment.
Types of Unemployment
There are three types of unemployment, each of which describes the particular circumstances of the individual and their employment situation.
Frictional unemployment is temporary unemployment arising from the normal job search process. Frictional unemployment helps the economy function more efficiently as it simply refers to those people who are seeking better or more convenient jobs and those who are graduating and just entering the job market. Some frictional unemployment will always exist in any economy.
Structural unemployment is the result of changes in the economy caused by technological progress and shifts in the demand for goods and services. Structural changes eliminate some jobs in certain sectors of the economy and create new jobs in faster growing areas. Persons who are structurally unemployed do not have marketable job skills and may face prolonged periods of unemployment, as they must often be retrained or relocate in order to find employment.
Cyclical unemployment is unemployment caused by a drop in economic activity. This type of unemployment can hit many different industries and is caused by a general downturn in the business cycle.
At the levels of unemployment that economists consider to be the lowest possible sustainable levels (discussed below), the only unemployment that exists is due to friction in labor markets and structural changes in the economy.
Full employment
Economists define the approximate unemployment rate that is "full employment." If unemployment falls to a very low rate, there will be upward pressure on prices. If unemployment rises to a very high rate, there will downward pressure on prices or prices will remain steady. In the middle is a level, or more likely a range, where there is not pressure on wages to rise or fall. That is the full employment rate of unemployment.
Economists do not know for certain what that rate is and it does change over time. A consensus estimate is that the full employment rate of unemployment is currently between 4.5 and 5.0 percent of the labor force being unemployed.

In Memoriam
The Eye of the StormBy Rex Weiner
Alan Shenker, an artist known among the underground cartoonists of the late sixties as Yossarian, died last week, in New York, at the age of sixty-seven. Born in Levittown, he was a downtown habitué and his work was published in the East Village Other, among many other publications of the era.
A kind of ruthless patricide was implicit in Yossarian's cover art for the February 1972 issue of the New York ACE. He was close to "the Arab," as the East Village Other's editor, Yaakov Kohn, was known, and now Yossarian was one of the defectors from the already tottering EVO to the new paper which I'd cofounded with Robert "Honest Bob" Singer.

Editor's note: Due to incorrect information provided to the Press-Telegram, this story originally stated that businesses would be required to allow pets on patios. That has been corrected to explain that businesses would still have the option to prohibit pets.
LONG BEACH - City leaders on Tuesday will receive a report on and discuss potential tax measures in response to continuing budget deficits.
The report, which will be delivered during a special meeting before the City Council's regular session, was not complete Monday, officials said.
Long Beach announced a three-year, $26.1 million budget deficit early last month.
The forecast worsened on March 13 when the state's public employee retirement fund lowered its expected return rate on investments, meaning the city will have to pump more money toward its pension obligations.
The action by the California Public Employees' Retirement System pushed the deficit to $33.8 million in the next three years.
The special meeting will be held at 5 p.m. in City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd.
A live broadcast can be viewed on Charter Communications Channel 3, Verizon FiOS Channel 21 and at www.longbeach.gov. The regular council session is scheduled for 6 p.m.
Dogs on restaurant patios
On its regular agenda, the council will consider an item asking for a policy to give restaurant owners the option to allow pet dogs on outdoor restaurant patios.
Dogs aren't allowed on restaurant patios in Long Beach where food is served.
The request is sponsored by Councilman Robert Garcia and co-sponsored by Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal and Councilman Gary DeLong.
"Allowing pet dogs on outdoor restaurant patios creates community and a dining experience for all members of the family, including four-legged ones," said Garcia.
"Changing the existing policy will encourage healthy living, promote business and build community."
Los Angeles County approved a policy in December that allows dog owners to dine with their pets on restaurant patios.
Under the Long Beach proposal, businesses would still be able to prohibit pets, Garcia said.
The legislation asks city staff to return to the council with a proposed policy in 90 days.

Candles add flickering ambiance that provides the finishing touch for any room of your home. Look for the classic pillar candle to pair with glass hurricanes on dining tables, mantels and console tables. Want to add elegance to dinnertime? Use taper candles in slim-lined holders on table centerpieces and buffets. Scatter clear-cupped tealights on table surfaces to create multiple points of light without overwhelming other decor elements. For areas where you desire the look of a candle but prefer to avoid flames, consider flameless pillars and tealights. Wall candle holders above beds and sofas are perfect candidates for this type of candle. Timer functions add convenience during parties and gatherings by automatically shutting off after a certain length of time. Dinners on the patio become magical events with candle light, so look for items that transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Paraffin wax melts evenly and provides a consistent appearance, while cotton wicks are non-toxic and burn cleanly.more

Images shown may not be an exact representation of the actual product.You may contact us if you have questions about the exact specifications of this item.
The FN FNS-9 & 40 is the latest handgun innovation by FN Herstal. The FNS pistol features a pre-loaded striker mechanism together with an optional manual safety, hence combining fast and accurate shooting and optimal safety. Additionally, the well thought out design of the FNS results in a stable, highly ergonomic and ambidextrous pistol that is easy to operate.
The pre-loaded striker mechanism of the pistol means that energy has been pre-loaded partially. This ensures a short and light trigger pull identical for all shots allowing fast and accurate shooting.The FNS has a low bore axis providing minimized perceived recoil and reducing muzzle rise for a perfect weapon controllability.
The handgun features a newly designed three-dot combat sights with deep rear sight notch which improved significantly the accuracy.
In addition to the manual safety, the FNS features Four Major Safeties:
The two-piece trigger prevents the weapon from firing without a presure on the trigger.The rear of lower trigger piece catches on the frame if the mechanism is moved without pulling the trigger.
The firing pin safety prevents the stricker from passing.The firing pin safety is lifted out the way when the trigger is pulled.
Part of the fire control housing prevents the sear from rotating down to release the stricker unless the trigger is pulled.
When the slide is not fully forwards the sear cannot release the stricker even if the trigger is pulled.
The FNS pistol comes standard with a large number of ergonomic features such as:- Ultra nonslip checkered grips for better prehension- Front serrations for easy press check- Three interchangeable backstrap inserts quickly adapt to the pistol to the shooter's hand size.

Random thoughts to live by
While writing and doing other things that come with everyday life, I came across (or actually had a hand in) the following things:
Lindependence heads north to Portland: I've outlined this more in the Lindependence 2008 Diary blog, but it bears repeating. Lindependence takes a trip to Portland become a different kind of Trail Blazer; that is, bringing GNU/Linux and Free/Open Source Software to northern Oregon. David Kaplan, the organizer up there for Lindependence Portland has a Web page here for the event itself, and if you're in the area, by all means stop by. I'll be talking more about this as time goes on, without fail.
Happy birthday to GNU: GNU leaves the 18-24 demographic behind and joins the adult world in turning 25 years old on Sept. 27. It was on that day in 1983 that Richard Stallman (who I had the honor of chauffeuring around Northern California in February) announced that he intended to create a Unix-like system that would be completely open and hackable, giving anyone the right to modify and distribute it. British comedian Stephen Fry — known to some as the comedian Dietrich in the movie "V for Vendetta" (although his oevure is far more extensive) — has made this video outlining the history of GNU and its place in the digital realm with aplomb.
Chrome dome: For the past seven hours, I've been using Google's Chrome on the Wintel box at my desk at the Santa Cruz Sentinel (which I mention so this blog pops up on the Google search by my boss, Marc DesJardins — Hey, Marc!), and I have to say that it has done everything I've asked it too so far, except run the Stephen Fry video. What I did get was the message saying that there was an error and that the browser had to shut down. Uh oh. So long blog entry. But what happened was that Chrome actually just jettisoned the offending tab, leaving the other four intact. Very cool, Google. Here's hoping that the Linux version of Chrome is better than the Linux version of Picasa.
Film, as they say, at 11.

Theatre professors spend a year in Malaysia
How do you convey the magic of a midsummer's night to students who live three degrees from the equator?
It takes seasoned professors like Jim O'Connor and Erica Tobolski, who spent a year teaching theatre at the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in Shah Alam, Malaysia. They also oversaw a performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream at UiTM.
Jim O'Connor
The tropical Malaysian weather is hot and humid and varies little throughout the year.
"Working with these students on this play, we had to really keep reformulating what we thought we knew about theatre," said O'Connor, who directed the play. He was formerly the chair and artistic director as well as head of the master of fine arts directing program in the USC Department of Theatre and Dance.
"Take the title," he said. "How do you explain summer to someone who lives so close to the equator? Summer is not a word they use. It's summer all the time."
Erica Tobolski
"The students know the word, but they really don't understand the concept," said Tobolski, who was the acting and vocal coach for the performance and is an assistant professor in the department.
The students performed Mimpi (A Midsummer Night's Dream) in Malay, the official language of Malaysia, with an original gamelan orchestra, at the National Theater in Kuala Lumpur, the nation's capital.

Camp Sunny Patch Session 10: Hit the Beach . . . Indoors!
August 6, 2012 at 11:40 am stacymae 1 comment
Camp Sunny Patch Session 10 is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by Camp Counselor (and Melissa & Doug Blog Ambassador) Stacy Teet.
It's been a busy, fun-filled summer! Our campers have painted the world, passed the torch and even completed a TRIATHLON! I don't know about you, but after all of that I could use a vacation . . . I get the feeling my campers could too.
Time to pack the car and trek to a crowded beach? Nope–we're bringing the beach to us!
Grab a towel, a swimsuit and some campers and join us for a day of fun in the sun, no sunscreen required.
To create the beach vibe we're going for, you're going to need one exciting artwork and as many true-to-life props as possible. Grab your campers, some extra long paper, a few sponges (or alternatives), some blue and white poster paint and start creating your ocean waves.
Sponges, brushes or even hands will work quite nicely for this. We used our jolly jellyfish to help get our aquatic creative juices flowing, but be warned: While the kids had a great time playing with their little buddies and even painting them too, the blue paint will stain your jellyfish.
There's no right or wrong here, campers can paint till they get the effect they are going for.
Once your ocean is dry, find a nice spot to get away for the day–long hallways make great vacation spots! Hang your ocean, lay down your deep blue sea (using towels or blankets or anything you can find), add any sea creatures or accessories you can find–we even created a beach with chairs to lounge in and blocks to build "sand castles."
Dressing up is half of the fun! Coax your campers into donning their swim gear (goggles and all!) and going on a snorkeling adventure, deep-sea dive or even a fishing expedition.
As you can see, we got really into this and had such a good time "swimming," building sand castles and just getting away for the day . . . even if it was only in our hallway. If you Hit the Beach with your campers, we hope you'll share with us on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest by using the hashtag #CampSunnyPatch. We'd just love to see you in action!

Bruce Springsteen dedicates 'Born To Run' album performance to James Gandolfini
Listen to Bruce Springsteen on iHeartRadio
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are paying tribute to the late James Gandolfini. The New Jersey "Star-Ledger" reports that the group performed their landmark 1975 album "Born To Run" in its entirety during their show Thursday night in Coventry, England, and Springsteen dedicated the eight-song segment to "our good friend James Gandolfini."
The E Street Band has strong ties to the late actor through guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who was a member of "The Sopranos" cast. Gandolfini died suddenly on Wednesday while in Italy.
The "Born To Run" presentation was part of 30-song, three-hour-and-ten-minute show from the group, who is currently on their 2013 European "Wrecking Ball" tour. Bruce and the band will be in the Netherlands on Saturday.

Mariners designate catcher John Buck for assignment - July 7, 2014

SAFECO FIELD - The Seattle Mariners made a bit of a surprise roster decision after Monday night's 2-0 win over the Minnesota Twins when they elected to designate backup catcher John Buck for assignment.
Buck had appeared in 27 games for the Mariners this season with 19 games coming at catcher and eight at designated hitter. Buck was batting .226 for the season with one home run and six RBI before the Mariners made the decision to move on Monday night.
A corresponding roster move is scheduled to be made on Tuesday, but manager Lloyd McClendon hinted strongly at what the move would be after the game.
"Listen, these things are never fun," McClendon said. "John Buck is a fine baseball player and I think he has been great for this club and a wonderful individual. We've got a catcher in Triple-A who is turning the corner and doing a pretty darn good job. We will announce that tomorrow, but we just felt it was time so we think this move makes us a better club."
That Triple-A catcher McClendon referenced is likely Jesus Sucre.
In 48 games this year for Tacoma, Sucre has batted .274 with two home runs and 16 RBI. He's also considered a strong defensive catcher, which is an area Buck seemed to struggle in at times.
Over the first 89 games of the season, Mike Zunino has been behind the plate for 70 of those games. While he is still a young player, that workload could begin to wear down Zunino over the second half of the season. If the team wasn't comfortable enough with Buck's defensive abilities to put him behind the plate more frequently, the decision to bring up Sucre begins to make more sense.
Sucre appeared in eight games for the Mariners last season, batting .192 with three RBI before getting injured and landing on the disabled list. When he became healthy again, he was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma.

19 Elite Firefighters Dead in Arizona
(NEWSER) – Tragedy in central Arizona, where 19 elite firefighters are dead after getting trapped by a fast-moving wildfire in the town of Yarnell. Eighteen of the men were part of the Granite Mountain Hotshots crew from Prescott, reports the Arizona Republic. An additional crew member wasn't with his team and survived; the deaths wiped out 20% of the town's firefighting-force. "It's a dark day," Arizona State Forestry spokesman Mike Reichling told theRepublic. The previous deadliest wildland fire struck in 1933, in the form of a Los Angeles fire that killed 25; yesterday's deaths marked the deadliest day for firefighters since 9/11, adds CNN.

CARSON - The man who was fatally shot as he sat in a car in a shopping center parking lot in Carson was publicly identified Wednesday by the coroner's office. | POLICE NEWS | BLOG: SOUTH BAY CRIME, COURT NEWS | FACEBOOK | » HOMICIDE MAPS
Bryan Champion, 35, was found dead by Los Angeles County Fire Department firefighters and sheriff's deputies at the Carson Plaza parking lot about 8 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
The man was declared dead at the scene, in the 600 block of East University Drive, said Deputy Rich Pena of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
Another person who was in the victim's car got out and ran as the shooter fled, and was not injured, according to a news photographer at the scene.
Champion's hometown was not immediately available.

LONG BEACH - A Cambodian-American man from Long Beach was one of 206 immigration fugitives caught in Los Angeles County as part of a nationwide sweep that concluded with more than 3,100 arrests, federal officials have announced.
Veasna Uy, 34, was one of three Long Beach residents who were arrested. The other two weren't immediately identified.
In a press release announcing the apprehension of Uy, federal officials incorrectly said he was convicted of manslaughter in 2000, but Los Angeles Superior Court records show Uy was actually convicted of attempted manslaughter.
He was also convicted of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
Additionally, Uy was convicted in 1999 of carrying a concealed weapon, and in 1998 of burglary and receiving stolen property.
"He has a long criminal record," said Virginia Kice, Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman.
ICE is looking to deport Uy to Cambodia. However, according to Mary Blatz, an advocate for the Cambodian community who has assisted Uy in his deportation hearings in the past, the Poly High graduate was born in France.
She says, according to Uy's family, he has never set foot in Cambodia.
ICE spokesperson Virginia Kice said the information she had was that Uy was a citizen of Cambodia.
After his conviction, Uy served more than eight years of an 11-year sentence.
Blatz said Uy was picked up after attending a welding class through the Long Beach Regional Occupation Program, and that he had been living with and helping his family financially since his release from prison.
"To me, he's rehabilitated. He's not the same person he was," said Blatz, who has helped represent members of the Cambodian community facing deportation.
Blatz said she visited Uy in detention.
"He said he's living a good life, no matter what happens," Blatz said. "I believe him. He's a nice guy. He's intelligent and thoughtful."
Federal agents announced the national sweep, nicknamed "Cross Check," on Monday.
"The results of this targeted enforcement operation underscore ICE's ongoing commitment and focus on the arrest and removal of convicted criminal aliens and those that game our nation's immigration system," Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said in a statement.
The six-day operation, which ended Thursday, involved more than 1,900 federal, state and local officers.
Of the those arrested in the Los Angeles area, 106 had prior convictions for serious or violent crimes. More than 70 have already been removed from the country.
Those arrested included a twice-deported 43-year-old Mexican national with drug convictions living in Bell and a 42-year-old Salvadoran living in North Hollywood, who was convicted in 1994 of arson. He was being held by ICE without bond pending a hearing before an immigration judge.

LYNNWOOD — An Everett man high on meth was arrested Sunday night for investigation of assault after allegedly crashing a stolen car into a Lynnwood motorcycle officer.
The officer, a 12-year-veteran of the Lynnwood Police Department, suffered a knee injury and was transported to Swedish/Edmonds hospital for evaluation. He was given a knee brace and crutches.
"Thankfully he didn't sustain life-threatening injuries," Lynnwood police spokeswoman Shannon Sessions said.
Officers were called to Alderwood mall in the 3000 block of 184th Street SW around 7:15 p.m. after security there alerted police of a man in their food court who looked similar to a suspect wanted on a warrant.
When the motorcycle officer arrived at the mall, he spotted the suspect behind the wheel of a Dodge Challenger in the parking lot.
The officer stopped his motorcycle directly in front of the car, drew his weapon and ordered the suspect to show his hands, court records said.
The man turned on the ignition, revved the engine and accelerated, hitting the officer and knocking over the motorcycle, Sessions said.
As he drove away, he passed a police car and went over a curb, through landscaping and across a sidewalk before crashing into two parked vehicles.
That collision overturned a Mini Cooper, causing it to roll onto its passenger side with the front end of the Challenger on top of it. The Challenger then hit a second parked vehicle occupied by a Snohomish woman, 25.
"The woman was obviously shaken, but didn't have any serious injuries," Sessions said.
She was treated by medics and released at the scene.
The suspect, 19, was taken into custody. An Everett District Court judge on Monday set bail at $100,000. Police also determined that the Challenger was stolen from someone in Everett.
The man allegedly told police that he panicked and that he didn't mean to hit the officer with the car, court papers said. He also said he used methamphetamine about two hours before the incident.
Police had been looking for him since Feb. 19, when he allegedly crashed a different stolen car near the mall. On that day, he was spotted in a stolen Jeep. He failed to stop for police and crashed a short distance away but escaped, court papers said.
"With evidence recovered from the stolen vehicle, we were able to identify the suspect and were familiar with him from past arrests," Sessions said.
The man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of assault, eluding, three counts of possessing a stolen vehicle and malicious mischief.

On November 12, 2013 volunteers, donors, friends and family gathered for a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and tour a 6 bedroom duplex built as part of the Labor of Love Project. The walk-through was carried live during the 4 p.m. hour on WBIR.
Labor of Love is a joint project between WBIR Channel 10, The Home Builders Association of Greater Knoxville, and the Knoxville Area Association of Realtors. Sertoma Center has served adult clients with intellectual disabilities since 1961.
After the tour, the home underwent a few tweaks to get ready for the six adults to move in. They became residents in December 2013.
"They really enjoy living it and both sides of the duplex," said Becky Massey, Director of Sertoma Center. "You just ask them and they get a big smile on their face so it's neat and you get an even bigger smile from the staff."
The duplex is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. House manger Tracey Turner appreciates the fact that the home was built with the residents in mind.
The accessibility to the showers, with some that use canes some are in wheelchairs big enough to get the wheelchairs in the door. We had that problem, there were times we couldn't maneuver a wheelchair through a hallway in a house so I like the fact that it's roomy and spacious for them," said Turner.
Massey and Sertoma Center staff and board members decorated the home and added personal items in each of the resident's rooms to make them feel at home.
"There's food in the refrigerators and there are dishes here so it is livable now," said Massey. "We have pictures hanging on the walls. They brought their things in, their pictures and the things they like to have. It was a house before and it's a home now."
For the residents' loved one, the duplex is much more than just a place to live.
"For me, it's peace of mind knowing that Gina has a place," said Gina's mother, Jenny. "A home of her own, friends and people that care about her. "It's so beautiful! I mean, I couldn't ask for anything more. Everything is ready for her and built for her to be usable with a wheelchair. The house was built in love and that's what makes it so special."
After months of hard work by countless volunteers and donors, residents and staff of the Sertoma Duplex are looking forward to their first Christmas morning in the home.
"The folks really enjoy Christmas, we do a wish list for our folks because a lot of our individuals have no families to buy for them but just with this home, " said Massey.
"I'm kind of excited for them for Christmas because I want to see what their response is when they open up their gifts on Christmas morning being in a new house," added Turner. "I think that's going to be special for them."
Becky Massey says the duplex is the biggest thing to happen to Sertoma Center in it's 52 year history.
"It's a year I will always remember and treasure every time I was out here working with everybody and the new friends that I made."
Up next for Sertoma Center: renovating another group home duplex for clients who need around-the-clock medical care. If you would like to learn more about Sertoma Center, visit the organization's website.

2 New Developments on Keystone XL Pipeline Today
Two new twists today in the saga of the the Keystone XL Pipeline: Seven House Democrats came out in opposition to the pipeline, three environmental organizations filed suit in Nebraska to halt its construction.
In September, 5,000 small businesses from Green America's business network and the Green Chamber of Commerce weighed in on the pipeline, sending a letter to President Obama urging him to focus on clean energy technologies and to reject a new Canadian tar sands pipeline that keeps us dependent on fossil fuels.
Extraction and refinement of oil sands are more greenhouse-gas intensive than conventional oil, with the EPA concluding that the Keystone XL project could yield as much as 1.15 billion tons of additional greenhouse gases. Plus, the pipeline travels through America's agricultural heartland and could threaten the drinking water of 2 million people, in the event of a BP-style spill.
The State Department's final public hearing on the project is coming up this Friday in Washington, DC.

Rumours have spread on the forum that the chipset is WL1251 from TI. However as the product is NDA, nothing will be released until the machine ships. Either way, wpa_supplicant drivers will be the ones run.
Getting Airpwn to work is ruining my life
The size is around the size of some of the new small form factor pc's. May as well get one of those, at least then you'll have a full power real processor instead of a pda processor. It won't have the battery life, but that won't matter as much because you'll actually be able to get things done in a timely fashion.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

PHILADELPHIA – After a frustrating loss at Lafayette on Saturday, the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team faces arguably its most daunting challenge of the young season. The Quakers' Wednesday opponent, Big 5 rival Villanova, is coming off a championship at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament -- beating No. 2 Kansas and No. 23 Iowa along the way -- and jumped accordingly, all the way to No. 14 in this week's Associated Press poll.
GAME 7 - PENN (2-4) at #14/19 VILLANOVA (7-0)
Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2013 * 8 p.m.
The Pavilion (Villanova, Pa.)
TV: Fox Sports 1 (Justin Kutcher, Ronnie Thompson)
Radio: WXPN 88.5 FM (Brian Seltzer, Vince Curran)
The Penn-Villanova Series
*The Wildcats lead the series, 42-18, and have won 10 in a row over the Quakers dating back to the 2003-04 season.
*Villanova won last year's game at The Palestra, 68-55, despite 16 points from Miles Jackson-Cartwright (including a 10-of-10 performance at the foul line) and 12 from Steve Rennard. Four players hit double figures for the Wildcats.
*The last time Penn played Villanova when the Wildcats were ranked 14th by the Associated Press, the Quakers won. (Of course, that was in 1971 and Penn was ranked fourth itself at the time.) All-time, Penn is 2-1 against teams that were ranked 14th in the AP poll at the time of their matchup with the Quakers...
2/8/1969 - at Penn 91, #14 Columbia 81
1/23/1971 - at Penn 78, #14 Villanova 70
11/17/1999 - at #14 Kentucky 67, Penn 50
The Quaker Notemeal of Note
*Penn has shot better than 50 percent in each of the last two games, going a combined 62-of-117 against Niagara (34-62, .548) and Lafayette (28-55, .509).
*After being outrebounded in each of its first four games, Penn has outrebounded its last two opponents (43-30 vs. Niagara, 33-32 vs. Lafayette).
*Penn is 2-0 on Tuesdays (0-4 all other days) and 2-0 against MAAC schools (0-4 against all others) so far in this young season.
*Penn has four players averaging double figures in scoring, but has not had more than three double-figure scorers in any game so far this season.
*Through the first six games, four different players have led Penn in scoring. (Fran Dougherty, Miles Jackson-Cartwright, Tony Hicks, Darien Nelson-Henry) and all four have had at least one 20-point game.
*Hicks is the only Penn player to score in double figures in each of the Quakers' first six games this season.
*After recording 14 rebounds combined in Penn's first four games, Dougherty has 17 in the last two contests.
Notemeal From Lafayette
*Penn shot 14 of 15 at the foul line, a season-best .938 percentage, and tied a season best with six three-point baskets.
*Penn fell to 13-11 in games decided by three or fewer points in the Jerome Allen coaching era (3-3 in one-point games; 6-6 in two-point games; 4-2 in three-point games).
*Penn lost for the first time this season when leading at the half. (The Quakers were up 38-37 at the break); previously the Red and Blue was 2-0 in such games.
*Senior Fran Dougherty scored 26 points, his season high and five shy of the career high he put up last year against Fairfield; Dougherty also had nine rebounds, leaving him one board short of his fifth career double-double.
*Sophomore Tony Hicks hit four three-pointers, a season high and one shy of his career best.
*Sophomore Darien Nelson-Henry tied a career high with three assists.
*Senior Steve Rennard scored his first points of the season, on a pair of free throws.

Details emerge about Chris Kelly viewing
Listen to Kris Kross on iHeartRadio
Details are emerging about the public viewing for rapper Chris Kelly. According to TMZ.com, on Wednesday friends, family and fans were received at the Murray Brothers Funeral Home in Atlanta with Kris Kross' smash hit "Jump."
Surrounding Kelly's casket were numerous photos of Kelly with his Kris Kross partner Chris Smith. The service was reportedly open casket and Kelly was dressed in a black suit and a pink tie. On a poster hanging inside the casket was a verse from the Kris Kross track "Warm It Up."
A funeral for Chris Kelly will take place today at Atlanta's Jackson Memorial Baptist Church at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Chris Kelly passed away last Wednesday after he was found unresponsive at his Atlanta home.
An autopsy revealed that there were no signs of trauma or foul play. Drugs are suspected to have played a part in his death, but authorities are awaiting the results of a toxicology report before declaring a cause of death.

Kicking off the weekend a little bit early, Nicole Scherzinger got all done up in a backless snakeskin dress and hit up the swanky Capsule Collection Launch from Michael Costello and Style PR last night (July 23).
They really wanted to give their fans another album, but sadly Danity Kane has announced that they're splitting for good.
According to a TMZ report, Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex hit the recording studio on Monday (August 4) and it was said to be instant friction (Audrea Fimbres jumped ship almost immediately after the reunion was announced last year).
After disbanding in 2009, the girl group Danity Kane is officially reuniting, according to an Instagram photo posted by member Aubrey O'Day on Sunday (August 25).
The snapshot showed four members of the platinum-selling pop group in a promotional shot with the caption "DANITY KANE is officially BACK! @danitykane #vmas2013 #Rage."
After witnessing a scary nightclub shooting on Christmas Eve in Seattle, Aubrey O'Day shared her reaction with her Twitter followers (December 24).
The former Danity Kane member started off the account with the tweet, "Ok. I have never in my life. Supposedly someone was shooting n the club and we had to duck on the floor. Security pulled us out. Wtf?!"
Showing off her ample curves, Aubrey O'Day hit the beach in Miami to celebrate the Independence Day holiday yesterday (July 4).
The former "Danity Kane" singer/ "Celebrity Apprentice" alum wasn't shy when it came to her sun tanning attire- she opted for a skimpy orange top with a striped cover-up and blue bottoms with a red headband and vintage sunglasses.
She's never been much for modesty, and Aubrey O'Day was all-too-excited to show off her assets at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas yesterday (June 17).
The "Celebrity Apprentice" alum played host for the Rehab Pool Party and had all eyes on her as she pranced around the Sin City shindig.
Celebrities love a good soiree, and last night (April 18) there was plenty of eye candy at the 2012 Us Magazine Hot Hollywood party.
E! Reality starlet Kim Kardashian showed up at Greystone Manor in Los Angeles sporting a strapless silver textured cocktail dress teamed with a pair of hot pink high heels.
It's no secret she loves being in front of the camera, and Aubrey O'Day took part in a sultry beach photo shoot in Malibu, CA over the weekend (May 29).
The former "Danity Kane" singer flaunted her body in a white wrap skirt and a cropped orange top before changing into a ruffled brown bikini and striped poncho.

Who does everyone think should or will be picked up by the UFC after this series.
Focus on the Brits.
Personally I think, in addition to Norman Parke, they should give another fight to Brad Scott, Mike Wilkinson and Colin Fletcher.
I am not sure if they have offered everyone with an extra fight? or what is happening. I'm only going on what I think they may do.
