DOWNEY - Santa Ana Police Detective Ramona Ruiz wasn't always on the right path.
A former gang member and high school dropout, Ruiz at one time was a single mother on welfare struggling to flee an abusive relationship.
Miraculously, she turned her life around and joined law enforcement.
Today, 28 years later, Ruiz is the head detective on Santa Ana P.D.'s Graffiti Task Force. As a former gang member, she specializes in female gang culture.
Ruiz shared her story with more than 150 attendees on Friday at the third annual Symposium on Street Gangs and School Safety at the Los Angeles County Office of Education headquarters in Downey.
The symposium, a one-day conference for school administrators, teachers and law enforcement, gives updates on gang issues and gang-related crimes facing schools across Southern California.
As the main speaker this year, Ruiz gave an overview of female gangs, which she said are growing at an alarming rate.
Ruiz said girls, sometimes as young as 9 years old, will join a gang for many reasons. They may be looking for safety, camaraderie and acceptance.
"Girls today are realizing they don't need to depend on men to get what they want," Ruiz said. "They can find protection and a sense of belonging in a gang with other girls."
In Santa Ana, an estimated 5 percent of all known gang members are female, she said. Police have identified at least four all-female gangs, including a gang called the Hello Kitty Mafia because its members all wear Hello Kitty paraphernalia.
Ruiz said today's gang members often dress like normal schoolchildren, but their violent behavior gives them away.
"The kids are smart enough to know that if they dress like a gang member police are going to know them," she said. "They look like normal kids, until they start fighting."
Gangs and gang recruitment continue to be a significant problem in many area schools. Los Angeles County alone is home to more than 1,100 street gangs with more than 100,000 members and associates, according to law enforcement statistics. Surveys show 9 percent of students in public middle and high schools self-identity as gang members and
2 percent have admitted to carrying a gun to school, according to the L.A. County Office of Education.
Not only are gangs beginning to recruit very young members, they're doing it in different ways, law enforcement officials said.
In one trend, gangs are starting to recruit new members on social media websites such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. They're also using those platforms to bully and intimidate people, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Kimberly Unland.
"It's definitely a disturbing trend we're seeing," Unland said.
"That's why we continue to work with schools and community groups to raise awareness. Education is key."
Ruiz said teachers in the classroom can be a major component in the fight against gangs.
"Next to the parent, the teacher is the one who sees these kids the most. They can look for signs and problems and talk with the student," she said. "It's all about training and education. We need to work together as a team."

Former Indians Broadcaster Mike Hegan Dies
(CLEVELAND) -- Mike Hegan, the former major league player who was a longtime broadcaster with the Cleveland Indians, has died. He was 71.
The Indians say Hegan had his family by his side when he died Wednesday morning in Hilton Head, S.C. No other details were provided by the team.
Hegan was a radio and TV broadcaster for the Indians for 23 years. He retired after the 2011 season. He also spent 12 seasons as a broadcaster with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The son of former Indians catcher Jim Hegan made the AL All-Star team with the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and helped the Oakland Athletics win the 1972 World Series. He also played in the 1964 World Series with the New York Yankees.

Solve appliance problems with fault codes
Do you have an appliance flashing some weird cryptic message on its digital display? Is your oven saying F3, or your dishwasher announcing that C5? These short repeating messages are actually fault codes—your appliance telling you what's wrong with it—and they're found on many newer appliances. For instance, F3 on a Maytag oven display means the oven temperature sensor needs to be replaced. A GE dishwasher that says C5 has low water pressure and probably needs a new water inlet valve.
When you see a code number flashing, look it up in the owner's manual or at the manufacturer's Web site, or check the online appliance repair sites below. You can also usually find a list somewhere in or on the appliance (see below). Armed with a diagnosis and a make and model number, you can purchase the right part from a supplier and make the fix yourself. Or at least save some time on the service call by letting the repair service know what they'll need to bring along to make the fix.
Appliance repair site: repairclinic.com/0078.asp
Locating fault code instructions for a computerized appliance
Many newer appliances include computerized touch pads and control boards. You may think they're too complicated to repair yourself. Wrong. They're actually easier to work on because the computer does all the diagnostic work for you. Once the computer detects a problem, it stores a fault code in memory. All you have to do is put the computer into readout mode and consult the fault code chart to discover which part failed. Fortunately, most manufacturers pack the code retrieval procedure and code translation information right inside the machine.
The trick is to find them. The diagrams here show typical locations. Remove the cover panel and look for the fault code instructions in a plastic bag. Follow the instructions to put the computer into code retrieval mode, then count the blinks or read the fault code from the display. Once you learn which part failed, copy the model and serial number off the tag and buy a replacement part.

Units of Study
ANTH2623 - Gender: Anthropological Studies
Semester 2, 2012 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Rosemary Helen Wiss
This unit explores the social and cultural dimensions of gender and sexuality in non-western societies. The main focus is the body in two interrelated senses. Firstly, how the body is culturally constructed by giving aspects of gender and sexuality meanings that do not simply reflect biology. Secondly, how bodies are socially constructed, for example through ritual. The relations of the dimensions of the body to the articulation of power and social change are also considered.
1x2500wd essay (55%), 1x1500wd essay (35%) and 1x500wd tutorial paper and presentation (10%)
readings will be available at the University Copy Centre
1x2-hr lecture/week, 1x1-hr tutorial/week commencing week 2
12 junior credit points from Anthropology plus 12 Senior credit points from Anthropology
A timetable is not available for this session.

Search For Hoffa's Body Turns Up Nothing
(Detroit, MI) -- The FBI is saying it didn't find anything after searching a field north of Detroit for the remains of former Teamsters president Jimmy Hoffa. The FBI acted on a tip from a former mob underboss who claimed Hoffa was buried under a concrete slab where a farm once stood. Hoffa's been missing since 1975.

You would expect an app like Google Maps to pinpoint your location, but why do the Angry Birds need to know where you are? Many popular Android apps also track your location, check your device ID and even access the contacts on your phone. Popular music app Pandora Internet Radio, Dictionary.com and Angry Birds are among the apps gathering this information.
This information is then shared with marketers and other groups that are willing to pay for information. For example, a study found that Angry Birds shares your sensitive information with six mobile ad companies and three research companies.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University put together a list of some of the worst offenders and what type of information they access.
Brightest Flashlight (device ID, location)
Toss It (device, ID, location)
Angry Birds (device, ID, location)
Talking Tom (device, ID)
Backgrounds HD Wallpapers (device, ID, contacts)
Dictionary.com (device ID, location)
Mouse Trap (device ID)
Horoscope (device ID, location)
Shazam (device, ID, location
Pandora Internet Radio (device ID, location)
In a sense, your personal information is how you pay for "free" apps. This snooping really shouldn't come as a surprise. Google Play requires developers to spell out what kind of information they collect in the terms of service. The problem is that most people just don't bother to read the fine print. So, if you'd prefer to keep private information completely private, read the terms carefully before you tap the accept button.

EL Prospects: Top picks head east04/04/2013 6:00 AM ET
By Danny Wild / MLB.com
Here's a ranking of the 10 prospects we're most excited to see light up the Eastern League in 2013:
No 1. Dylan Bundy (RHP, Bowie Baysox): Although mild elbow stiffness means Bundy won't be Bowie's Opening Day starter, he's still the biggest name in the league and probably the best pitching prospect in baseball right now. The buzz around the first-round pick grew almost on a pitch-by-pitch basis last season, especially after his dominant debut at Class A Delmarva. The 20-year-old right-hander ascended all the way to Baltimore after 23 Minor League starts. This year, he figures to spend a few months in Bowie, if only to delay his arbitration clock. Bundy is as talented as they come and worth the price of admission when he's healthy this spring.
No. 2 Jameson Taillon (RHP, Altoona Curve): Taillon enters a pivotal year in his development, and he'll likely spend a good chunk of it at Altoona. The 6-foot-6 righty, usually mentioned in the same breath as Bucs' No. 1 prospect Gerrit Cole, owns a high-90s fastball and has gained confidence working in his curve, a pitch he had a chance to feature when he wrapped up his summer with three Eastern League starts. Pittsburgh's first-round pick in 2010 and MLB.com's No. 15 prospect went 9-8 with a 3.55 ERA in 26 games across two levels last year and will probably finish the year at Triple-A Indianapolis.
No. 3 Xander Bogaerts (SS, Portland Sea Dogs): Like Taillon, Bogaerts -- MLB.com's No. 20 prospect -- managed to reach Double-A at the end of 2012 and figures to make the full adjustment this spring in Portland. The Red Sox's No. 1 prospect hit .326 in 23 Eastern League games last year and has quickly gathered awards and accomplishments -- he played for The Netherlands at the World Baseball Classic this spring and was named the Red Sox's 2012 Minor League Offensive Player of the Year.
No. 4 Anthony Rendon (3B, Harrisburg Senators): Rendon assumes title that's recently been bestowed on baseball royalty: the Nationals' top prospect. It may be a tough act to follow Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper -- both former Senators -- but Rendon looks poised to do it. After getting 68 at-bats with Harrisburg last year and logging time in the Arizona Fall League, the 22-year-old will try to stay healthy as he works his way through the Nats system. Adjusting to Double-A pitching will be the first task before fans start wondering how he'll fit into a hot corner occupied by Ryan Zimmerman.
No. 5 Kevin Gausman (RHP, Bowie Baysox): As if Bowie fans weren't spoiled last summer by Bundy, they'll get to see Gausman -- MLB.com's No. 37 prospect -- move into the Baysox's rotation this spring. Baltimore's No. 2 prospect and a 2012 first-round pick out of LSU, Gausman brings the heat with a plus fastball and nasty changeup that will have Eastern Leaguers guessing. He got a healthy taste of Major League camp this spring, sticking around even after Bundy was reassigned, and after logging only 15 innings in his pro debut, O's fans are eager to see what he can do.
No. 6 Matt Barnes (RHP, Portland Sea Dogs): Barnes joins a Portland staff that includes Daniel Bard, the hard-throwing project optioned to work with Sea Dogs pitching coach Bob Kipper. What's good for Bard is probably good for Barnes, who led Red Sox farmhands in ERA, strikeouts and opponents' average in 2012.
No. 7 Alex Meyer (RHP, New Britain): Meyer, a 6-foot-9 righty, was acquired over the winter from Washington for outfielder Denard Span. The Nats' first-round pick in 2011 out of Kentucky became the Twins' No. 3 prospect and gets his first taste of Double-A after finishing 10-6 with a 2.86 ERA in 25 games last year, mostly at Class A. He's a strikeout pitcher with a big fastball and a developing slider.
No. 8 Brian Goodwin (CF, Harrisburg Senators): Yet another Nationals first-round pick, Goodwin -- Washington's No. 2 prospect behind Rendon -- returns to Double-A after working his way up from Class A Hagerstown in his first full Minor League season last year. The lefty-hitting outfielder's numbers took a hit after the promotion (he skipped Class A Advanced Potomac), but with Span manning center in Washington, there's no rush for Goodwin to develop at a Harper-like pace.
No. 9 Jesse Biddle (LHP, Reading Fightin Phils): Reading has a new nickname this season and a new ace in Biddle, the Phillies' No. 1 prospect. A lefty who won 10 games and recorded 151 strikeouts for Class A Advanced Clearwater last year, Biddle comes to Reading with a nice resume -- he led the Florida State League in strikeouts, tied for second in wins, ranked third in ERA and fourth in innings pitched and complete games in 2012.
No. 10 Tyler Austin (OF, Trenton Thunder): Austin briefly played in Trenton at the end of 2012 but should see at least half a season in New Jersey. A Futures Game selection last summer, he was named the Yankees' Minor League Player of the Year after leading the system in batting for the second season in a row. He ranked third in RBIs and fourth in stolen bases and figures to share an outfield with Slade Heathcott, New York's No. 4 prospect.

Axl Rose mocks Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'karaoke' performance
Listen to Guns 'N Roses on iHeartRadio | Listen ot Red Hot Chili Peppers on iHeartRadio
Guns 'N Roses frontman Axl Rose is taking aim at the Red Hot Chili Peppers for their admitted "miming" of their Super Bowl halftime performance.
Before Chili Peppers bassist came clean about the band's unplugged performance, Rose wrote a sarcastic op-ed piece for "Billboard," saying he would give the band the benefit of the doubt and theorized that Flea could have possibly invented a microchip installed in his posterior, to pick up and transmit the frequencies of his amplifier.
After Flea 'fessed up to the mime, Rose followed up on Twitter:
Oh well, so much for science! But hey, they still got that karaoke thing going for 'em! Awesome! They're (cont) http://t.co/sH544GkCgY
— Axl Rose (@axlrose) February 5, 2014
Axl also compared the Chili Peppers' performance to the sign language interpreter who was outed for signing gibberish at the memorial for late South African leader Nelson Mandela in December. He said, "They're right up there with the sign language guy, whose deep n' heartfelt dedication, absolute total commitment, conviction, absence of sanity, and ultimate public achievement should not b forgotten!"

From January 7th to 11th, the biggest names in technology gathered at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the largest fair in the world in this segment. The exhibition focused on mobile phone technology and internet. The Consumer Electronics Association, CEA, said that the 2013 version of the International CES focused on topics such as cloud, art accessories, eBooks, smart phones and tablets.
South Korean company, Samsung, introduced its prototype flexible display, a technology dubbed "Youm" that opens a world of new possibilities for the manufacture and use of devices.
The vice president of Samsung screens, Brian Berkeley, showed "Youm" installed on a mobile phone whose side was also part of the screen because it is made of plastic instead of glass and allows folding. The Samsung Team was technologically lauded for being able to produce a high resolution display (OLED) with extremely thin plastic instead of glass that would not break even if dropped. The phone prototype consists of a hard package the size of a matchbox, with a color screen on the thickness of a sheet of paper. The company also showed a video of a future concept, with a device the size of a phone that opens like a book and shows a screen the size of a tablet. Samsung Youm indicated that screens can be made to bend, fold or roll upon themselves. Read the full story

Kitty, a 21 year old portrait and fashion photographer from London, England, began photography early on. As she states, "Part of me has forever been photographing, as a kid I would just casually photograph everything I saw whether it was through the car window, my socks or my family. By 13 I got into digital photography and taught myself how to edit with Photoshop; that was the beginning of my obsession." Kitty always edits her photos. As she states, "Without editing I feel they're too "vulnerable"-- they haven't the artist's final trademark stamp put on them. I try to do as little editing as possible and spend the longest time setting up each shot to ensure I won't have too much to enhance/change. I only ever touch the colours, either muting or brightening certain areas. The contrast is always fiddled with and I occassionally will change the lighting if I feel it isn't completely "right". Otherwise, I don't do anything overly fancy." At the moment you can pick up a free curve for photoshop on her website in order to emulate her look.
To take her shots she uses her Canon 5D Mark II and finds herself inspired by the works of Tim Walker, Annie Leibovitz and Sally Mann. When asked about her current projects she states, " usually keep them very secret but don't see any harm in hinting towards them! I'm working on a couple of new series - something to bring back the sleepy summery feeling and something to capture the wild youth." We look forward to it!

Mr. Baked Bean you have lots of knowledge in this industry can you put some light on all the rubbish that goes on why all the bitching from people who claim to want the sport to grow ?
There are a number of people who say they want the sport to grow but they speak bad of everyone who attempts to do it.
Is it an industry standard to bitch about everyone ?
Are you not excepted until you speak bad of a promotion or of someone ?

BAY CITY, MI — Shelti/Radikal USA has announced its sponsorship of Darin Young as a professional player. The company notes that he is one of the most accomplished current U.S. dart players.
Born in Pontiac MI, Young grew up in White Haven, PA, and now resides in Mountain Top, PA. He travels the world, making darts a primary occupation. His most recent accomplishment was winning his 6th American Darts Organization national title in Stamford, CT, in August.
At this writing, Young is in Sacramento, CA, playing the final two events on the Professional Darts Corp.'s DC North American Championship Tour. He is at the top of the PDC's North American Order of Merit. The Tour wraps up with the third New World Dart Series in New Orleans from Nov. 22 through 24. If he can retain his No. 1 position, he will earn a spot in the PDC World Darts Championships in London, England, in December. This would be his eighth appearance in the PDC World Championships.
Shelti, which now does business as Gold Standard Games, manufactures several soft-tip dart games and imports the internationally renowned Radikal game from Spain, is online at shelti.com. Radikal Darts maintains a separate players' website at eng.radikalplayers.com.

You've seen chests of drawers— well, here's a "chest of baskets." It can be used in nearly any room—in the bathroom for storing towels, the entryway for organizing hats and gloves, the bedroom for workout clothes, even in the kitchen for veggies or hand towels.
The total materials bill for our pine stand, including the baskets, was about $50. We bought baskets at a craft store, but lots of other retailers like Pier 1, West Elm and IKEA also carry them. Make sure to buy your baskets first; you need to construct the stand based on their dimensions.
To keep the frame of the stand both lightweight and strong, we used biscuit joinery. It's a clever way to join wood, and a technique you can use with many other projects. See below for biscuit joiner tips.
How to build it
You'll build the two "ladders" that form the sides of the stand, then glue and nail the crosspieces to join the two ladders.
To get started, cut all the parts to length (see Cutting List in Additional Information below). Mark the rung and crosspiece locations on the legs. Mark all four legs at the same time to ensure the framework is uniform and square (Photo 1).
As you mark the legs, keep picturing how your baskets will sit on the runners, especially if you're using baskets smaller or larger than ours; it will help you avoid mental errors. Use the biscuit joiner to cut slots in the edges of the legs and ends of the rungs (Photo 2). You'll need to clip the biscuits to suit the 1-1/2-in.-wide legs and rungs (see "Biscuit Tips," below).
Apply glue to the biscuits and slots (Photo 3) and assemble each joint. Clamp the ladders together and set them aside until the glue dries.
Join the two ladders by gluing and nailing the crosspieces between them. Remember that the three front crosspieces that will support the baskets lie flat. Next, install the basket runners (Photo 4) even with the flat crosspieces that run across the front. Glue and nail the 3/4-in. plywood top to the stand, then apply cove molding to cover the edges (Photo 5).
Biscuit tips
Clip biscuits for narrow stock
The smallest common biscuits (No. 0) are almost 1-7/8 in. long. That's too long for the 1-1/2-in. wide parts on this basket stand. But there's an easy solution: Just clip about 1/4 in. off both ends of each biscuit. Your slots will still be too long and visible at inside corners, but a little filler and finish will hide them.
Always do a dry run
Biscuits grab fast. During glue-up, you don't have time to correct mistakes or dig up a longer set of clamps. So always test the whole assembly—including clamps—before you get out the glue. For complicated assemblies, give yourself more working time by using slow-setting wood glue. Titebond Extend is one brand.
A biscuit joiner is a superb tool for joining wood where it would be difficult to use nails or screws. The joint is strong, invisible and easy to create. The compressed wood biscuits expand on contact with moisture in the glue. Since the biscuits are placed in slots that are wider than the biscuit, you can adjust the joint a little after butting the two pieces together. Biscuits come in three common sizes: No. 0, No. 10 and No. 20.
Video: How to Use a Biscuit Joiner
A biscuit joiner will help you make strong, fast and accurate joints. Spike Carlsen, an expert at The Family Handyman, will show you how to use a biscuit joiner to get perfect joints.

Woman Tries to Steal Cop Car - With Cops in It
(NEWSER) – A woman in Pittsburgh made the bold move of trying to steal a police car; unfortunately for her, it contained police. According to authorities, an apparently drunk Ria Buford, 32, was hanging out with friends near the unmarked car following a huge after-party for a concert. Plainclothes officers were sitting inside, the AP reports, though the driver seat was empty, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette notes. Buford sat down in it, and an officer told her she was under arrest.

Editor's note: This commentary is by Robert Feuerstein co-owner of Kennedy Brothers in Vergennes.
As a co-owner of Kennedy Brothers in Vergennes, I have been looking forward to reducing our greenhouse gas footprint by replacing outdated oil fueled furnaces with smaller, cleaner and more efficient gas furnaces. This will also provide much needed savings to our tenants which are all locally owned small businesses. Thus, I attended the public hearing in Middlebury on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
It was disappointing to hear so many statements that just made no sense ecologically. It was also annoying that almost no supporters got to speak because the opponents listed themselves as supporting the pipeline on the sign-up-to-speak forms. We are as concerned about climate change as much as the opponents to this project, but we see natural gas as the better solution.
Ever since people began using fire, we have abused the environment for our energy needs. Nothing has changed, except there are a lot more people doing it today and we have more sources of energy. No energy source is perfect. Wind farms are despised by otherwise green people because they spoil the views! Hydropower dams rivers. Solar panels requires mining materials and dirty chemical processes to manufacture and many don't like the look of fields of solar panels. Nuclear has radioactive waste issues. Oil is messy (many oil spills and dirty drilling process) and generates greenhouse gases as does natural gas, wood, coal and biomass. Nothing is perfect.
So it all comes down to one question: What do we choose in order to minimize the mess we make?
Whether it is people denuding mountainsides of trees for firewood, or BP spilling oil in the Gulf of Mexico, or the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, humankind's use of energy negatively impacts the environment. So it all comes down to one question: What do we choose in order to minimize the mess we make? Because people aren't giving up their heat, cooking and lighting, not to mention driving. That is the question the Public Service Board needs to keep in mind as it decides on the certificate of public good for the Colchester-to-Middlebury pipeline.
The pipeline into Middlebury will not make this worse. It will be better since gas for heat can be burned at very high efficiency, compared to oil, and is cleaner burning as well. It is also lower cost which will benefit all the people who can access the gas, as well as businesses. It will not increase the damage to the environment. It will likely reduce negative impacts, and I expect evidence showing that will be provided at the technical hearings the PSB will conduct next week.
All the comments at the PSB meeting in Middlebury about adding to our greenhouse problem make no sense. This replaces one fuel (mostly oil) with more efficient and cleaner gas. It doesn't lock anyone into gas for the next 100 years either. That is just absurd. It will only be used as long as it makes sense. When we develop new clean energy sources that replace oil and gas, then the gas line will go into disuse.
All the comments on scarring the land make no sense either. Once the construction is complete, it will have much, much, much less of an impact than a road! It is not taking any land. It will be under land that can continue to raise corn or hay or graze cows. One must wonder where the people at this meeting are getting their misinformation. The few pressure control stations and distribution points will be above ground and in out-of-the-way areas.
As for safety, most people in the USA are served by underground gas lines, and have been for decades. It is an exceedingly rare day when someone dies because of a gas explosion. Worrying about the safety of underground pipelines is like worrying about electric lines falling on you as you walk down the street. Almost never happens.
People are messy. Once again, to emphasize the decision under consideration by the Public Service Board: What mess do we choose to make?
In my view a natural gas pipeline is the smaller mess, and provides lower cost energy for the people and businesses of Addison County.

MeeGo is dead, long live Tizen
MeeGo is effectively dead, just a day or so after the Nokia N9 handset - the only real device of note to pack the OS - went live (not in the UK though). It has been replaced by an OS called Tizen, a Linux statement has confirmed.
"Today we are welcoming a new project hosted at The Linux Foundation," said Jim Zemlin, executive director of the company.
"Tizen is a Linux-based, open source platform designed to address the future of HTML5-based applications across a variety of device types. We think the project has a lot of potential, both for its technology and the major players it has involved in it.
Zemlin admitted that MeeGo would "remain a project at The Linux Foundation" but stated that "industry leaders [are] lining up behind Tizen".
Those industry leaders include Samsung and Intel. Intel teamed up with Nokia for MeeGo, remember, but the Finnish company now has more Microsoft flavoured aims for its devices' OS.
A spokesman for Samsung told Reuters: "We've been a core Linux partner... and this is in line with our strategy of supporting many platforms."
Many platforms indeed. Sammy is not only a key player in the Android and Windows Phone 7 markets, it also has its own Bada platform too, which is reportedly doing pretty well.
So the question is, why does it need another avenue?
The first release of Tizen and its SDK is expected to land in the first quarter of 2012.
Update: Intel has stated that the first Tizen device will be out in early-mid 2012.

Piscotty breaks out, homers twice
Cardinals No. 18 prospect gets three hits, surges out of slump
By Jake Seiner / Special to MLB.com | May 10, 2013 6:42 PM ET
Over the past week and a half, Stephen Piscotty has had trouble hitting the ball.
His solution? Just stop swinging.
That's what Piscotty did in batting practice this week. And on Friday, the strategy paid dividends as the 2012 first-round Draft pick hit a pair of homers in Palm Beach's 7-3 road win over St. Lucie.
"I went into BP and just started taking pitches, not swinging," he said. "I felt my timing was off and I wasn't getting ready soon enough.
"In BP, I was really focusing on getting my foot down and getting in a good position to hit and not focusing so much on my mechanics. Once I got that base under me, I was able to get that swing path back and go from there."
Piscotty, the Cardinals' No. 16 prospect, hit .348 with five homers in his first 18 Florida State League games this season. The hot streak fizzled as Piscotty batted .200 over his next nine contests. He felt he wasn't seeing the ball well and that his hands were lagging in his setup. His unique solution helped him make a relatively quick fix.
The Stanford product said he actually began to feel better at the plate on Thursday, when he went 1-for-4 but hit a few balls hard and felt more comfortable in the box.
It wasn't the first time he's employed the batting practice strategy to snap out of a funk. Brock Ungricht, a volunteer coach at Stanford, had suggested it to Piscotty a few years ago, and it's one he occasionally uses to quickly dig himself out of a mechanical hole.
"He stressed that to me in college and that worked pretty good," Piscotty said. "As a junior, I got a lot more off-speed pitches and that really helped me see those pitches better."
Piscotty's first homer was a leadoff blast in the fourth inning that put Palm Beach ahead, 2-0. The Cardinals protected the lead until Dustin Lawley's homer in the sixth put the Mets in front, 3-2.
Palm Beach tied it in the seventh and Piscotty scored the go-ahead run after leading off the eighth with a double. He provided insurance with another solo shot in the ninth.
The Pleasanton, Calif., native posted a .295 average and .823 OPS in 55 games in the Class A Midwest League last summer, but hit only four homers. A third baseman in college, he moved to right field last year. And while there are few doubters about his contact potential, his ultimate role likely will depend on how much power he can generate.
That power seemingly has arrived this year -- he ranks second in the FSL with seven homers, three behind Fort Myers' Miguel Sano.
Piscotty said he's heard that chatter but has tried to avoid adjusting his approach just to hit more homers. He spent the offseason working out with Stanford's strength and conditioning coach and Sparta Science, a Bay Area-based training center, and thinks the biggest key is that he's stronger than he's ever been.
"A lot of those balls that had been landing at the base of the wall, now they're going out," he said. "It's that more than anything else.
"I've increased my weights, I'm more flexible, healthier and I had some knee problems last year, but they feel great this year. I had a really good offseason, and that's been huge."
Scott Gorgen started for Palm Beach, striking out seven and allowing three runs on four hits over six innings. Lee Stoppelman (2-0) earned the win with two perfect frames.
Lawley, who also doubled, tied Piscotty with his seventh homer.

University acquires rare medieval Bible
Just months after it opened its Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library, the University of South Carolina has acquired a rare medieval Bible, the first complete Bible of its kind in South Carolina.
Scott Gwara
Small enough for monks and friars to tote around, the new Bible is rare because it was written in Oxford, England, around 1240 and is in pristine condition. It was purchased for $77,000 with support from New York's B. H. Breslauer Foundation and joins other valuable medieval holdings in the library's Irvin Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
"This Bible is exceptionally fine," says Dr. Scott Gwara, a USC medievalist who recommended the acquisition and secured the outside funding. "Even though it's written in Latin, the 1,000-page manuscript is from England, produced around 1240."
Gwara says most medieval Bibles in the United States -- fewer than 100 in number -- are from France or Italy. The Bible acquired by USC is the only English pocket Bible in the Southeast, making it particularly valuable for research and study.
"Most Bibles from this period originated in Paris, so an English Bible like this one is very rare. It was probably made in Oxford," Gwara says. "It looks as pristine as the day it was copied, more than 750 years ago."

Lorde tweets about photog she claims is 'stalking' her
Listen to Lorde on iHeartRadio
Lorde has taken to social media to help her publicly shame a man she claims is stalking her.
In a series of tweets over the weekend, she posted a photos of a paparazzo named Simon Runting, seemingly taken from his Facebook page which she also linked to her followers.
The 17-year-old singer says the man has been "stalking," "photographing" and "refusing [her] privacy." She adds that she feels "scared" of him, and that she refuses to stay "complicit" and "passive" about "men systematically subjecting [her] to extreme fear."

POMONA - Friends and family, still in shock over the unexpected death of a 37-year-old mother, wife, daughter and Pomona police officer, will celebrate her life Saturday.
Rochelle M. McCrary of Rancho Cucamonga, who was a 16-year veteran of the Pomona Police Department, died while off duty on Thanksgiving Day.
"She was just a great person and a very dedicated employee," said Jaime Gutierrez, the president of the Pomona Police Officers Association.
"She was always happy and smiling."
Gutierrez said he doesn't just remember McCrary as a good officer but as a friend. The two forged a friendship when Gutierrez was McCrary's supervisor in the Police Department's detective bureau.
"This is really tough for me," he said.
A private service will be held for McCrary at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at St. George Catholic Church, 505 W. Palm Ave., Ontario. She will be buried at Belleview Cemetery at 1240 W. G St., Ontario.
McCrary was awarded the Police Department's Medal of Courage after an incident in 2000 in which she and another officer were involved in a shooting, police officials said.
The Police Department will honor McCrary in the days to come, including lowering the flag outside the station to half-staff.
Monday's City Council meeting will adjourn in McCrary's memory, Deputy City Manager Mark Gluba said.
The Police Officers Association's members and members will hold a fundraiser for McCrary's family from 4 to 9 p.m. Monday at Vince's Spaghetti at 8241 Foothill Blvd. in Rancho Cucamonga and at 1206 W. Holt Blvd. in Ontario. All of the money raised will go to McCrary's family.
"She will always be remembered as an officer dedicated to the city, a mother dedicated to her two children and as a wife," Lt. Charles Becker said.
Details of how McCrary died have not been released.

Jessica Simpson has slimmed down and is showing off.
"Too proud to sit down!! Behind the scenes of my new commercial. Thanks @weightwatchers," tweeted the fashion entrepreneur on Saturday, along with a striking black-and-white picture in which she's looking svelte (see right and below).
It was in a Weight Watchers video last month that Simpson revealed her plans to get married this year, motivating her to stay in shape.

Lotus was back on the podium in Montreal after Romain Grosjean clinched the best result of his F1 career so far with second place. Starting seventh on the grid on used super-soft tyres, he switched to new softs on Lap 21. When the leading cars of Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, who were also one-stopping, struggled on old rubber in the final ten laps, two-stopping Lewis Hamilton was able to charge through and win. Romain was not far behind though after a spell of brilliant tyre management, passing Alonso for P2 on Lap 66 of 70.
Team-mate Kimi Räikkönen had suffered hydraulic issues in qualifying and started a disappointing 12th. He started on new softs and switched to new super-softs on Lap 40. He crossed the line in P8, earning four points and bringing the team's race tally to 22. Lotus now sits third in the constructors' championship, ahead of Ferrari.
Romain Grosjean : "It wasn't easy at the start because there was lots of traffic and I didn't know whether the others were stopping once or twice. I didn't really understand what was going on, but I knew we had good pace. It was crazy at the end because I was thinking P5 or P4, but the pace stayed there and the team did a fantastic job with the car, which was good on tyres. We knew with the heat we would be better today. It is fantastic to be on my second podium this season. I dedicate this result to my friend Guillaume Moreau, who had a crash at the Le Mans test day last week. I wish him a good recovery."
Kimi Räikkönen : "The car was a bit better in the race than it was in qualifying. I seemed to get stuck behind people a few times. We had a chance to do a bit better, but it didn't quite all come together today. We scored points again so that's always a good thing, especially this season. Qualifying yesterday wasn't perfect so obviously that left us with more work to do. If you start further forward it's easier to finish higher up the order. We'll try to achieve that in the next race."

I havent Paddled out in about 2 months. I just got a new wetsuit , I dropped alot of money on to use. WE NEED WAVES!
it was fun on christmas day.
Damn, I was in New York , snowed in.
could be worse bro. im in the office all day today and although waves would be great...id be satisfied goin and catchin a redfish or trout...its freakin awesome outside today!!! did sit around a fire lastnight and grinded on a mess of oysters so i guess i should be thankful...damn those were good!
winds are looking good for tomorrow. it will be small, but maybe some glassy loggable waves.
I sponge , So I am not asking for much. Last time I went out , it was well before Christmas and had some of sickest glass rides ever for 4 hours, got a couple little barrels as well........ miss it.
There's waves, you just gotta paddle out hell or high-water. Besides, if you surf now, you'll be ready for when a real swell comes and get the most out of it. Bad conditions make you a better surfer or some crap like that.
there was a little something to be had yesterday afternoon if you could deal with the wind. Definitely would need a fish or log though. At least it was rideable and uncrowded
on a different note, anyone else notice how the water is really warm? I remember last year i was in gloves by now, but this year I'm sweating in just booties. Must be that global warming thing everyone talks about.

Daniel Craig, Berenice Marlohe & Naomie Harris: Sydney "Skyfall" Premiere Pals
Taking their action-packed flick to the land down under, Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, and Naomie Harris showed up at the Sydney, Australia premiere of "Skyfall" today (November 16).
The State Theatre was abuzz with fans and paparazzi as the sizzling hot trio of stars strolled out onto the red carpet all gussied up in their designer duds.
And according to an insider, it seems Miss Marlohe, 33, actually used social media in her quest to become a beautiful bond girl.
"Berenice used Facebook to contact [director Sam] Mendes' agent and sent him some footage of her acting. This was then forwarded to the casting agent for the movie before a meeting with the director was set-up and the rest is history."

Pelosi Ally George Miller to Leave Congress
Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.) said Monday he won't seek re-election in November after serving 20 terms in Congress. Mr. Miller, a liberal who has been a champion of labor rights, education and environmental issues since he was elected at age 29 in 1974, is a top ally of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a fellow Californian.
In a statement on his congressional website, Mr. Miller wrote: "I'm proud of what I have been able to accomplish on behalf of children, working people and the environment, in my district and for our country, especially passage of national health care reform. Now, I look forward to one last year in Congress fighting the good fight and then working in new venues on the issues that have inspired me."
The congressman is one of the last of a generation of Democrats known as "Watergate babies," a group of liberals elected in the mid-1970s who pushed House reforms that weakened the seniority system. When Mr. Miller steps down, Rep. Henry Waxman (D., Calif.) will be the only continuously serving member of the group left in the House.
Mr. Miller said in an interview with Politico that his decision is not related to Democrats' chances of attaining a majority in the House in November and is instead due to his four-decade tenure in the House. "I've immense confidence in [Ms. Pelosi]," he said, adding that he is "energized by our freshman class, their diversity, their enthusiasm." "I am comfortable that it is the right time," he said.
Mr. Miller has served as chairman of three committees during his tenure, including the Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, the Committee on Natural Resources, and the Committee on Education and Labor, where he was a leader on issues of workers' rights, public land protection, and campaign finance reform. He also served as co-chairman of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee for 10 years before stepping down last January.
The congressman has played a large role in pushing minimum wage legislation in the House, sponsoring a bill last year with Sen. Tom Harkin (D., Iowa) to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour from $7.25. President Barack Obama endorsed that bill last month. He was also a key player in pushing the Affordable Care Act through the House in 2010 and has called it one of his proudest achievements. Mr. Miller was also instrumental in developing student loan reforms and the No Child Left Behind Act, which he has since pushed Congress to improve and better fund.
He has served as a close adviser to Ms. Pelosi since she joined the House in 1987, and was dubbed by Washington Post columnist Richard Novak as the leader's "consigliere" in 2007. In a statement, Ms. Pelosi thanked Mr. Miller for his service and praised his "inspired and inspirational leadership." "His dedication to the issues and his excitement for the legislative process are infectious and undiluted by the years he has served or the challenges he had faced," Ms. Pelosi said.
Mr. Miller has also long shared a house on Capitol Hill known as "Animal House" with Sens. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Dick Durbin (D., Ill.). Following Mr. Miller's announcement Monday morning, Mr. Schumer tweeted, "Seeking roommate. 20 terms in the House & unmatched legislative record preferred. Lover of cold cereal a must."
Mr. Miller, 68, said his father, a California state senator, inspired him to run for office. "As a youth, I watched my father use his elected position to really help people, and I told myself, 'That's what I want to do when I grow up,' " he said in a statement. "Since I came to Congress 40 years ago, I've woken up every day asking myself the same question – 'What is my opportunity to do some good today?'"
He thanked fellow members of the House and said, "I'm proud of what I have been able to accomplish on behalf of children, working people and the environment, in my district and for our country, especially passage of national health care reform."
He also outlined his goals for the remainder of the year, which include extending long-term unemployment insurance benefits—a top Democratic priority going into 2014—as well as fixing the No Child Left Behind Act, enacting an overhaul of immigration laws, and easing college affordability through the Higher Education Act.
House Speaker John Boehner issued a warm statement praising Mr. Miller's dedication and "willingness to work for the greater good." The two collaborated on the No Child Left Behind Act on the education committee, when Mr. Boehner was chairman and Mr. Miller was ranking Democrat. "No one would confuse me and George Miller for ideological soul mates, but during our years serving together on the Education & the Workforce Committee, we got things done on behalf of the American people," Mr. Boehner said.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Steve Israel (D., N.Y.) called Mr. Miller "one of our most thoughtful and successful lawmakers" and said his legacy will live on.

Dr. Suresh my oncologist, said the exact same thing about reoccurence,"there could be a microcell". The reason for my lung surgery last week was because as my doctor told me "we have no data"!!
Lots of prayers for our CC family-Cathy
The doctor interviewed in this article is Lauren's surgeon should she ever be able to have surgery. Dr. Christopher Sonnenday is such a sweet man. My daughter, Kristen, was the anesthesiologist for a liver transplant Dr. Sonnenday did just last week. She thinks the world of him. Thanks for the article, Marion.
You are welcome. I agree with you both in that this is one of the best best interviews on this subject.
Great article!
Thanks for this Marion, great article. I couldn't get the link to open last night but it seems to be working okay today. And of course, I had to steal your link and repost it over on the FB page too!

I'm endlessly fascinated with the Jolie-Pitts. And it's not just that the name "Jolie-Pitt" makes me giggle (Jolie means "cute" in French. "Cute pits" makes me giggle. I am very, very, deeply immature, I know). I'm not sure what it is. Well, they're very pretty - both of them. And their kids are adorable, and so stylish. And they do good in the world through various charities. And they're in movies (you might have noticed). And they're soooo pretty.
Here's what I think they should do: Reality TV. A show about life in the Jolie-Pitt family. Like the Osbournes except, one would assume, with less swearing. I'd watch that. Alas, I don't think that it's likely to happen. I guess I'll have to be content with magazines and internet gossip. The good news is that there's tons of it. Apparently I'm not the only one who's fascinated with the ever growing Jolie-Pitt family.

It really isn't just you. I am fascinated by them too. I don't buy the gossip mags though.
I've discovered that the mags are only interesting if read over someone's shoulder. The moment I pay for them - the allure vanishes. How does that work?
The Jolie-Pitt fascination is only matched by Aniston-curiosity. Yep... you can work out where my interest lies.

I love the mags and used to be more tempted to buy them. But now after the Britney fiasco, they just sort of make my stomach turn.
I do, however, have a hard time looking away from TomKat. I don't know why.

listen I love to hear about Brittney. I just want to be her friend and help her.
I always love to hear about Ashon and Demi and Bruce Willis.
What am I saying I love all gossip.

hey ho - how its going! they would never do a reality show - they're way too cool for that...i just can't believe they're still together! i mean they do the most trite thing - hook up on a movie set, as if almost all marriages in hollywood aren't doomed from the start - and they're still together! i would just get sick of living out of a suitcase...
oh yeah - my favourite celebrity is YOU!!!!!! hehe

Cool picture. I haven't seen their biological baby in forever!
I like the Ben/Jen duo, parents of Violet (Affleck/Garner). I stalk their child on Celebrity Baby Blog. She's a doll. Now I just want them to have another kid.

I am interested too. I don't buy the magazines, but I do read as much, (as fast as I can) in the grocery line. If I see something of interest, I pick a long line and begin reading in a frenzy!
I don't have a particular favorite, just whatever looks juicy that week.

Ex-LA Mayor Villaraigosa Joins USC Faculty
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has joined the faculty of USC's Price School of Public Policy, university officials announced today.
Price School Dean Jack H. Knott said Villaraigosa's task as professor of the practice of policy will be to work on innovative and large scale approaches to important policy issues facing
``Throughout his tenure as mayor of the city of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa mage significant progress in policy areas that are critically important to the USC Price School, including transportation and infrastructure development, public safety, port security and the environment,'' Knott said.
Villaraigosa, Los Angeles' 41st mayor, left office June 30 following two mayoral terms.
``The Price School is one of the nation's leading policy schools, with particular strengths in my own policy interests, such as transportation and infrastructure development,'' Villaraigosa said. ``I am excited about working with the school to propose solutions to some of the state's and nation's critical policy challenges.''
One of Villaraigosa's first project will be to lead the newly formed USC Villaraigosa Initiative for Restoring the California Dream, an effort that -- through forums and reports -- will seek ways to advance innovative thinking on ways to address major issues and improve government function.
