A first time for everything
Brian Golden
I'm pretty sure we've all heard this particular saying before and I for one know it to be absolutely true – there's a first time for everything. Today, that "first time for me moment" was oversleeping and having to race through my morning routine if I wanted to get into the office on time (which I did, barely).
Typically, I have no problem whatsoever getting myself up at the crack of dawn, if not earlier. My mother will tell you it's always been that way, as I was one of those kids who was "up-and-at-em" – even on Saturday and Sunday – at around 6 a.m. In fact, my mom was lucky enough to never have to drag me out of bed to get ready for school.
To be completely honest, I always relished those extra early morning hours. If nothing else, it was a chance for me to stay caught up with my morning cartoons and – in later years – an opportunity to listen to some tunes or practice my guitar before school. And once the guitar had truly become an addiction, I started getting up even earlier. That way I could get to school at least a half-an-hour early, which made perfect sense at the time, as that would be my last chance to strum away on my beloved Fender Stratocaster before classes began.
What can I say? From day one I was obsessed with the guitar which, when I really think about it, hasn't changed all that much over the years.
Regardless, you can imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning to find I had incorrectly set my alarm Sunday night. Oh, it was set for 5:45 all right, just like it was supposed to be, I'd simply set it for 5:45 p.m.
And when I checked the actual time (it was 6:35 in the morning), I'll admit I panicked.
At first I couldn't believe my eyes, and I spent a full minute or so staring in disbelief at the screen of my cell phone wondering how in the world this could happen. I never oversleep, I kept telling myself. Until, that is, it hit me as to just how long I'd overslept. Then I really panicked.
Scrambling out of bed, I began to hurriedly prepare for work. In my still-sleep-befuddled mind I even found myself comparing the experience to one of those credit card commercials. You know, the ones that go something like: Shave, five minutes. Shower, five minutes. Clothes already ironed for work, priceless.
I even jogged to the office today, but not because I'm on any kind of new health kick.
In the end, though, I made it in on time (with a couple of minutes to spare, even). It's certainly not the way I ever want to start off a day in the office (especially a Monday) in the future, however. And now that the afternoon is winding down, I have to laugh at myself. I can't even imagine what a wild-eyed spectacle of frenzied preparation I must have looked like this morning.
As I said, there's a first time for everything.

Analyst Blog
Ford Motor Co. (F - Free Report) anticipates nearly a 7% rise in its main brand sales to 2.20 million units this year from 2.06 million units in 2011. The company expects to achieve the sales growth with the help of its popular Ford Focus compact car sales.
Till September this year, the automaker sold 737,856 Ford Focus cars. Meanwhile, its other popular models, Ford Fiesta sedan and hatchback and F-series trucks, had sales of 560,061 units and 576,339 units, respectively, during the same period.
Last month, Ford's sales grew 6.5% to 177,673 vehicles, driven by impressive sales growth of Ford Focus (56%) and pickup truck F-Series (18%). Most notably, the company's small car sales shot up 76% from November last year. Due to the encouraging sales reports during the year, the company is looking forward to boost its production in 2013.
During the month, industry sales grew 15% to 1.14 million vehicles or 15.5 million on a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) basis in the month, driven by pent-up demand generated from Hurricane Sandy as well as from the aging vehicles, and improving macroeconomic conditions. It was the five-year high sales recorded by the industry since 2007.
Despite posting a meager 3% growth in sales to 186,505 vehicles, Ford's cross town rival General Motors Company (GM - Free Report) saw its best November since 2007. Thanks to the double-digit growth in sales for its Buick and Cadillac brands.
Ford, a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) stock, posted a 17.6% rise in earnings per share to 40 cents in the third quarter of the year from 34 cents a year ago, driven by impressive results in its North American operation and, to some extent, its Asian operation. With this, the company has also beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10 cents per share. Total profit rose 15.6% to $1.6 billion from $1.4 billion a year ago.
However, total revenue in the quarter slid 3.0% to $32.1 billion due to lower revenues in South America, Europe and Financial Services operations that offset the marginal improvement in revenues in North America and Asia. However, revenues were higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $31.0 billion for the quarter.

Shinzō Fukuhara
Shinzō Fukuhara (福原 信三 Fukuhara Shinzō?, July 25, 1883 – November 4, 1948) was a Japanese photographer.
He was born in Kyōbashi-ku, Tokyo, on 25 July 1883, as the fourth son of Arinobu Fukuhara, the head of Apothecary Shiseidō (which in 1927 would be incorporated as Shiseidō) and Toku Fukuhara (福原 とく). The third brother predeceased his birth, so he was named and treated as the third son. His two other elder brothers also died young, but the next brother, Rosō, would also win fame as a photographer; and, to a lesser degree, his youngest brother Nobuyoshi (信義, b.1897) would too, under the name Tōru Namiki (並木 透).
Fukuhara first used a camera in 1896, if not earlier. He went to Columbia University to study pharmacology in 1908, and after his graduation traveled around England, Germany and Italy before settling in Paris in 1913. While there he certainly viewed much art and is likely to have seen various exhibitions of post-Impressionist works; Iizawa sees the influence of artists such as Seurat in Fukuhara's photographs later collected as "Paris and the Seine."
Fukuhara died on 4 November 1948.

By Susan Candiotti and Ross Levitt, CNN
NEW YORK (CNN) – A member of Pedro Hernandez's family walked into a Camden, New Jersey, police station in the 1980s and reported that Hernandez told relatives and others that he had killed a boy in New York and threw the body near a Dumpster — but there's no indication anything came out of that report, the family member told CNN.
"You feel like they didn't believe you. I felt empty and a little bit mad," the relative said. "I was expecting something else."
Now, 33 years after Etan Patz disappeared, Pedro Hernandez stands accused of choking to death the 6-year-old youngster after luring him to the basement of a corner grocery store in New York City and throwing away his body inside a trash bag.
The family member, who CNN has agreed to not identify, said there was no receipt of paperwork to document the information provided — nor was the relative ever contacted again about the report.
"Police asked whether I was mad at him (Hernandez)," or had an ulterior motive, the source added.
Hernandez allegedly confided the information to a New Jersey church prayer group that included some members of his family and his then-spiritual adviser, the source told CNN.
At 19, shortly after Patz's disappearance on May 25, 1979, Hernandez left his job as a stock clerk and returned to his mother's home in North Camden, New Jersey. The attempt to tell police that Hernandez might have killed a child happened a few years after that.
CNN has not been able to reach Camden police for comment.
"When he moved home, he was really nervous and shaking all the time," the family source said of Hernandez. "He constantly had diarrhea, and he spent a lot of time just looking out the window," the source added, saying the behavior was out of character for Hernandez.
Hernandez also allegedly told his first wife that he had killed a boy, according to the source. CNN has not been able to reach her. The two divorced, and Hernandez has remarried.
Before Hernandez was picked up for questioning last week, the family source was visited by police and asked about any previous confessions from Hernandez about killing someone.
Surprised to be contacted after so many years had gone by without hearing anything, the family member asked, "What took you so long?"
The family member didn't get an answer and doesn't know what prompted police to visit.
The relative had no explanation for why no other relative spoke up years ago. "Maybe they didn't want to get involved," the source said. "I wasn't going to stay quiet. I have a conscience."
On Friday, when Hernandez' defense attorney announced in court that his client has a long psychiatric history, is on medication for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and suffers from hallucinations, the family source was surprised.
Attorney Harvey Fishbein said Hernandez — who was on suicide watch at Bellevue Hospital on Sunday — has not entered a plea due to a pending psychiatric evaluation.
New York police say they tracked down Hernandez after a tipster they won't identify contacted police last month. The person came forward after seeing publicity surrounding the FBI's search of an unrelated basement in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, a half block from Etan Patz' home.
New York police have not responded to a request for comment about the latest development.
But in a press conference Thursday, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said no family members or spiritual advisers ever contacted police. It's not clear whether Kelly was referring to the New York Police Department or any police department.
The Patz case was the first of several high-profile cases that catapulted concern about missing children to the forefront of national consciousness.
The relative of Hernandez is concerned about what Etan Patz's parents must be going through.
"At this moment, they must be hoping this is the right guy, and they don't go through this again," the source said. "It's going to be like a nightmare for them, if it turns out it's not Hernandez."
"They must want to know the truth and get this over with," the relative added. "At least they will know."

Exploring the majesty of the Vercors
Trip Start
Sep 04, 2011
Trip End
Sep 30, 2011
Where I stayed
Belvedere Saint Laurent
We travelled winding hairpin bends through lovely villages such as Mens, Clelles; stopping for lunch at Chatillon en Diuis in its Medieval streets so well preserved.
A superb lunch, I couldn't resist the goats cheese and Colin had the local speciality of ravioli (I know that's Italian but apparently the Romans were here first and the Italian influence remains)
We continue to Die (no! not die....Die!) and hope to swim in the Drome but only a small area looks likely and the current is very strong, we decide against it.
Already 3p.m we decide to head back through the Gorge Egat and more delights await our eyes as the stunning rock formations appear before our eyes and we enter tunnel after tunnel gorged out of the rock - Amazing. A stunning drive back.

The United States is at a critical turning point. Can we create an economic system that benefits all of us, or will we continue toward economic stagnation with huge wealth for the few and misery for the many? Decisions that Congress will soon make about the federal budget will take us further down one of these paths. It doesn't look good.
Building an economic system that benefits all of us requires two key strategies: creating jobs to strengthen the economy, and leveling the playing field so everyone benefits from our nation's growth.
Consider the first strategy, creating jobs. Unemployment is our nation's primary problem, a catastrophe affecting millions of households. Unemployment and the weak economy plus recovery efforts are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the federal government deficit. (One-third is due to the Bush tax cuts that primarily benefited the wealthy and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Without these factors the deficit would shrink by a whopping 98 percent.) Creating jobs to strengthen the economy is the best way not only to build a fairer economy but also to reduce the deficit. Businesses are not hiring and will not so long as the economy is weak and the economic future uncertain. After government spending puts people back to work, back to paying taxes, and back to buying, then companies will want to produce more and need to hire more workers. At that time, the government can cut back its spending. Now, government spending for job creation is sorely needed.
Sadly, Congress is not planning to create jobs. In fact, according to the nonpartisan, highly regarded Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the planned 2013 federal budget will shrink the deficit so severely that it will cause a recession next year and destroy jobs, not create them.
According to the CBO, to avoid a recession Congress must scale back some spending cuts and continue some tax cuts currently scheduled to end in December, 2012. Although it is good news that Congress is thinking about changing the budget, the details are all bad news because many in Congress want to continue tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy and also protect military spending while slashing social programs and core government functions like education, environmental protection, research, and health care.
This brings us to our second key strategy: the need to level the economic playing field. The proposed changes to the 2013 budget would do just the opposite. They would continue the skewed practices of the past that favored the wealthy and would widen the gap between the very rich and everyone else.
Instead, Congress must preserve tax cuts that help lower-and middle-income households, not wealthy ones. Spending cuts should target the military whose funding rose by nearly 50% over the past decade, not counting the billions in supplemental funds for wars in the Middle East. Current plans cut military spending to 2007 levels; these plans should not change. But cuts to social programs and core government functions, areas that have already been repeatedly reduced, should be halted.
We can have an economy that works for all of us if Congress seeks to make it so.

Aug 8, 2012Short and stylish with some interesting and unique physics-based puzzles. Indie fans would enjoy this one, but I only recommend picking this up in a bundle!
Jul 21, 2012
Sep 17, 2012That was a experience! The game is so atmospheric: outstanding soundtrack and graphics, that gave you the impression to forget about time and twist! Gameplay is all the same throughout the game but it has an addicitve effect on the player. I must recommend this for all who like relaxing games with an atmosphere!
Jul 3, 2012A simple casual game but very enjoyable with puzzles that are challenging enough to be interesting, but never annoying. Altogether a triumph of artistic programming. I really don't see how someone can object to paying $10 for it. It isn't meant to be an adventure game so of course there is no story, but it gives you several hours of gameplay and creates a pleasant atmosphere and relaxing play.

Dec 2, 2011$10 is a steep price for this 2D platform puzzler. Very basic, no complexity, no story, no plot, no replayability, no innovation--Sonic-like in some respects.

Mar 5, 2011
Jun 5, 2011Soothing visuals and backdrops combined with mellow, atmospheric music help the gamer adapt to the environment and situations that Nightsky's gameplay challenges. It's a sweet and short ride, and some of the levels are easier than others, but it makes for a very fun and entertaining game.
Jan 15, 2012This is NOT Limbo. This game is more peaceful and gentle taste.
If you are looking for quiet relaxed gaming with family, this is worth trying.
This is not difficult. I recommend to everyone. -
May 13, 2011
Dec 14, 2011Amazing sounds, very diverse and a soothing experience, not to mention the amazing background contrast of colors and art that sometimes makes you stop midway of a level. Can not recommend this game enough!
Jun 14, 2011
Apr 6, 2012Story is non-existent, and game is very short. I finished all levels with all secrets in 3 hours. Not worth the money in my eyes. On the other hand the graphics are decent and the ambient music is alright. Wouldn't recommend it though.
Apr 5, 2012
Nov 2, 2013I really liked this game, very relaxing!
Excpect an easy puzzle platformer and a mellow break from reality!
this lim it on characters sucks, i dont hav more to say -
Sep 18, 2013
Mar 29, 2013NightSky is a short and still enjoyable game with amazing visuals, soothing soundtrack and a unique style of gameplay which will be enjoyable for anyone especially those who love puzzles or those who play games casually. You will not find anything wrong with the purchase once you start this game, it is highly recommended to get this fine amazing piece of art and incredible indie game.
Jun 12, 2013A simplistic but stylish and deeply calming puzzle platformer. The gorgeous soundtrack and crisp visuals generate a relaxing atmosphere that makes playing through this short but sweet game a real pleasure.
Apr 18, 2013
Jul 7, 2013CannibalBob, allow me to borrow part of your review: "Indie fans would enjoy this one, but I only recommend picking this up in a bundle!". Not really much more to say.
Sep 4, 2013Pros:
-Nice graphics.
-Not too hard or fustrating.
-Good controls.
-very short
-no replayability
Final judgement:
Great game and very enjoyable however maybe a bit expensive for its length. -

The Frustrated Liberals
April 1969 | Volume 20, Issue 3
The liberal reformers of nineteenth-century America are taken more or less on their own valuation. Since they had very high opinions of themselves, this means that they come down in history bearing excellent reputations. Everything is working for them, because they are the authorities whom the historian consults when he tries to reconstruct the past. Reformers are not always loved by their contemporaries, but they tend to be deeply admired by posterity.
So we have today this informal list of the "best men"—the expression is their own—of the distressing Gilded Age: E. L. Godkin, Carl Schurz, Charles Eliot Norton, William Dean Howells, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, George William Curtis, Henry Adams, joined by a few working politicians like Lyman Trumbull and Samuel J. Tilden, and once in a while by an authentic genius like Mark Twain. From the best of motives, they set out to identify and to correct the manifold abuses of the post-Civil War era. Some of the abuses, to be sure, turned out to be beyond immediate correction, but the reformers themselves were knights in shining armor, and a grateful republic remembers them—when it bothers to recall their names—with gratitude and admiration.
The Best Men: Liberal Reformers in the Gilded Age , by John G. Sproat. Oxford University Press. 356 pp. $7.50.
The contemporary historian John G. Sproat takes a critical look at them in his new book, The Best Men: Liberal Reformers in the Gilded Age , and he does not care much for what he sees. He argues that the reformers started from the wrong base and attacked the wrong targets. They were specialists on things that did not matter so much. The biggest problems of their age they neither recognized nor grappled with. We inherited the result, and the reformers might as well never have existed.
As Mr. Sproat sees it, these reformers were really conservatives, not liberals. They wanted to restore "a natural balance in society"; they believed that there really was a natural balance, that certain immutable "natural laws" of political economy would come to the rescue if only men would return to economic orthodoxy. They believed in "good government," they saw complete remedies in the application to business, politics, and everyday life of the old moral principles, and they suspected that nothing would be helpful unless "the heart be revived." They faced the manifold discrepancies of the postwar generation and concluded that what was really needed was civil service reform, an end to political corruption, a sound currency, a low tariff, and a rebirth of dedication to right thinking and right living.
Sound enough: reform of civil service and politics was badly needed, so were proper policies in respect to money and tariffs, and men really ought to be better than their unguided instincts permit them to be—but there were a couple of staggering problems that the reformers quietly swept under the rug, either because they did not understand them or because the remedies would have made their hair curl.
One of these problems was the business of making sure that the black man got properly placed and adjusted in a world wherein he was no longer a slave, and this problem the reformers found too much for them. They began as ardent abolitionists, and during the first years after Appomattox they called earnestly for equal rights and legal security for the freedman. But they found, before long, that it simply was not expedient to insist too strongly on these things. Reconstruction involved too much government interference in the affairs of private citizens; it was good that slavery had been abolished, but there must be no further experimentation with political and economic change.
So, in the end, the reformers simply ignored this problem; they cheered when Simon Legree went out, but they looked the other way when Jim Crow came in. They turned angrily against President Grant when he failed to fight against the political spoils system, but they left him to stand alone when he demanded a new deal for the Negro, contenting themselves with advising the bewildered ex-slave to cultivate honesty and frugality and to put money in the savings bank; as Mr. Sproat puts it, they were convinced that "the inexorable operation of natural economic laws would insure the triumph of thrifty, industrious freedmen over adversity."
That triumph has been a long time coming, and the men who ought to have led in the fight for it found other things to think about. As a result, we today have inherited the problem they failed to attack; it has grown great with the years, and at times it seems likely to tear the country apart.
In the same way the reformers hardly so much as recognized the problems brought by the new industrial age. They believed that capital and labor, if left to themselves, would rely on their natural rights and work out their differences; any artificial limitation on the free play of the mighty forces of the age of industry would weaken society's moral foundations. No individual, as they saw it, suffered economic hardship except by his own shortcomings. The farmer who went broke was probably shiftless to begin with, and the worker who was intelligent, prudent, and skillful inevitably got his just rewards.

Laguna pushes ahead with 'complete streets' plan
The Laguna Beach City Council got the wheels turning Tuesday night on options to make Glenneyre Street a "complete street" friendly to pedestrians and bicyclists.
In a 5-0 vote, the council directed city staff to pursue the following:
•Enhanced crosswalks on Glenneyre Street, which are easier for pedestrians to use and for drivers to see. The crosswalks would have reflective dots and ladder-style striping, accompanied by added stop lines on the street for vehicles.
•A trial roundabout at an intersection in the city. Staff will look into possible locations and bring them to the council.
•"Sharrows," or shared-lane pavement markings, on Glenneyre between downtown and Bluebird Canyon Drive. Signs on Bluebird Canyon will direct bicyclists to take that route.
The directives were based on findings by consulting firm Fehr & Peers, which was paid $5,000 to evaluate options for a complete street on Glenneyre. In accord with the California Complete Streets Act, the city must consider cyclists, pedestrians and other alternatives to cars when creating local transportation plans.
The Planning Commission discussed the issue last month and recommended that the council consider crosswalks, trial roundabouts and an extended study.
Steve Brown of Fehr & Peers said further study would allow deeper investigation of local intersections and of success of measures such as roundabouts so the city could make an informed decision.
Three audience members spoke on the issue during Tuesday's meeting.
"I'd like to see Glenneyre be one of those locations in our city that we really focus on and see (if we can) really do this here," Michael Wilkes said.
Chris Prelitz, who is on the city's Complete Streets Task Force, said a trial roundabout is a great idea. Prelitz asked that the fire and police departments be consulted if there is further study.
In discussions last year, the council initially wanted to pursue elimination of a traffic lane in each direction on Glenneyre between Thalia and Calliope streets. Council members Elizabeth Pearson and Toni Iseman said Tuesday that they have received many letters in the past couple of months against eliminating lanes on Glenneyre.
Councilman Bob Whalen asked if a study, which the city estimated could cost $75,000, would come up with alternatives that would not eliminate lanes.
Brown said he didn't think there would be enhancements for pedestrians and cyclists without a lane reduction because of the size and nature of the street.
City Manager John Pietig will include funding in next year's budget proposal for the items approved by the council.

Cypress plan may impact Los Alamitos traffic
A development plan in neighboring Cypress is in its early planning stages, but some Los Alamitos residents and city officials already are voicing concerns about its potential impact on busy Katella Avenue.
Prologis, a worldwide industrial real estate development firm, wants to develop 33 acres with a 725,000 sq. ft. project that would consist of warehouse, light manufacturing and office uses at Katella Avenue and Enterprise Drive.
The plan may be used as a truck depot, with 200-300 trucks coming and going onto Katella Avenue, according to residents who complained at Monday's council meeting about the noise, traffic and congestion that would create on the major corridor.
The plan did not seem to curry favor with Los Alamitos council members.
"Can we stop the project," asked Councilman Richard Murphy.
Interim City Attorney Steven Skolnik said the plan is in its early stages, with Prologis seeking input before it begins the process of an environmental impact report.
A community open house is scheduled from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night at the former Cypress Golf Course Clubhouse, 4921 Katella Ave.
Prologis has no proposed tenants for the project and how the facility would be used—whether as a truck depot or another industrial use--depends on who occupies it, Cypress Planning Manager Doug Hawkins said Tuesday.
Councilwoman Gerri Graham-Mejia said company officials indicated they want to begin construction by the end of the year. "They're on a very fast track," said Graham-Mejia.

Another piece in exploring the slight variances of color and weather on an expase of rolling ground, the piece demonstrates the heat on a summer evening. Even after dark starts to fall, the world still looks a little foggy, and unclear. The reds of sunset seem to hold in the dusk long past when they should have exited to leave only gentle blues, and the whole sky seems to continue to press down for a few minutes after full dark.

A Toledo man told police he was assaulted and robbed of his sports utility vehicle early yesterday, and the vehicle later was involved in an accident on the Anthony Wayne Bridge, police said.
Tony Franco, 33, was treated at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center. He told police he left a bar at Knapp Street and Broadway about 2:15 a.m. and was making a cell-phone call from his vehicle when two men approached him and punched him in the face through an open window.
Mr. Franco got out of his vehicle to fight back and was hit across the back of his legs with a baseball bat, causing him to fall, police said. Both suspects fled after the accident on the bridge.

O.C. Superior Court late on its homework--for eight years
The Orange County Superior Court has failed for eight years in a row to fully complete a public accountability report about the thousands of cases that flow through its chambers.
Courts provide information about caseloads each year to fulfill a constitutional requirement that state officials "survey judicial business and make recommendations." The survey is intended to help lawmakers decide how many resources to allocate to the courts.
A report about the survey, published annually by officials who oversee the judicial system, mainly provides a breakdown of cases filed in the courts. How many cases were for felonies? Misdemeanors? Family disputes?
But the report also shows how well the courts are handling their caseloads. Courts across the state, for example, are supposed to disclose how many cases were resolved before or after trials -- a crucial step in determining the public cost -- and how quickly cases were resolved.
For the last eight years, Orange County hasn't reported response times for all civil and criminal cases. And in the last three years, the amount of missing information especially has grown: The county stopped reporting trial statistics and response times for most of its cases.
Orange County's failure to report its numbers creates gaps in public oversight of the local judicial system. The same gaps haven't existed for most counties in the state, including other big counties such as Los Angeles and San Diego.
Examining the most recent report, which covers the 2011 fiscal year, it's impossible to accurately gauge how much pressure Orange County Superior Court is under. The public can review the county's overall caseload but not markers that illustrate how long cases typically take to be processed.
The last time that Orange County reported response times for all civil and criminal categories, for the 2003 fiscal year, the numbers showed mixed results. The county had resolved cases slower than the statewide average for criminal filings but generally faster than the statewide average for civil filings.
The courts measure their response by determining how often they resolve cases within a certain time frame. In 2003, for instance, Orange County resolved felony cases within a month about 48 percent of the time. The statewide average was 56 percent of the time. Los Angeles and San Diego court officials reported resolving their cases within the benchmark 58 percent and 69 percent of the time, respectively.
Orange County reported better results that year with misdemeanor cases. It resolved them within a month 69 percent of the time -- nearly matching the statewide average. However, Los Angeles and San Diego each said they resolved misdemeanor cases within a month about 79 percent of the time.
Aside from limiting local oversight, the missing information in recent years could skew conclusions drawn from statewide figures. Orange County Superior Court reported filing more than 680,000 cases during the 2011 fiscal year -- the second most in the state.
A statewide judicial rule requires the courts to provide the performance information each year but allows some leeway depending on their capability to gather the records. That technicality has allowed Orange County to skirt the statewide requirement and provide an incomplete view of the court's activities for years.
Gwen Vieau, a spokeswoman for Orange County Superior Court, said completing the report hasn't been a major budget priority. Gathering the information is very time-consuming, she said, and the court has previously found accuracy problems with its data-collection process.
"We do not report a complete set of data because we are concerned about reporting inaccurate and misleading data," Vieau wrote in an email Wednesday. "We can't speak for other counties, but we've made a decision not to report data that we are not confident is accurate."
Vieau said the court discovered numerous errors in its procedure and is trying to fix them. The court has mainly submitted broad caseload statistics -- not the information about performance -- in recent reports.
In recent reports, Orange County Superior Court has provided only the most detailed case information for felonies. Vieau said the court is working to report the same information for some civil cases soon, but that depends on potential budget cuts.
In the most recent report, Orange County reported that 80 percent of felony cases were resolved with guilty pleas before trial, 18 percent were resolved at hearings before trial, and 2 percent were resolved after a trial.
The breakdown nearly mirrored the statewide average. Los Angeles and San Diego counties reported resolving felony cases slightly more often with guilty pleas before trial, slightly less often with hearings before trial and with about the same frequency after a trial.
The same type of comparison, however, can't be completed for civil cases or misdemeanor criminal cases. For now, Orange County officials have decided to withhold that information from public scrutiny.
In response to the Watchdog's observation that Orange County is one of the few places that doesn't fully complete the annual survey, Vieau raised the possibility that other counties may be providing faulty information.
"Whether other counties in the state have completed a thorough review of their data or are unaware of their data issues, we can't say," Vieau wrote.
Teresa Ruano, a spokeswoman for the state agency that oversees the judicial system, said each court is provided a 400-page manual showing how to accurately complete the survey. The state outlines data-quality guidelines, she said, and technical staff provide assistance through hundreds of phone calls each year.
"The evidence is that all the courts know it's in their best interest to do their reporting," Ruano said. "Everybody's working as hard as they can."
To the best of her knowledge, Ruano said, all the information in the reports is accurate. To read the most recent report, click here. To read prior reports, click here.

People older than age 75 who have been getting regular colon cancer screening since age 50 and who have had consistently negative screenings — no polyps (adenomas) or colon cancer — and are not at an increased risk of colon cancer because of family history may not need to continue getting routine screening. That's according to colon cancer screening guidelines issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American College of Physicians (ACP).
The upper age limit was set after studies determined that the net benefit of screening after age 75 was small. However, the USPSTF guidelines do recommend colon cancer surveillance for people older than age 75 who have an increased risk of colon cancer, such as family history, a previously diagnosed colon cancer or adenomatous polyps.
The American Cancer Society and the American College of Gastroenterology don't specify an upper age limit beyond which colon cancer screening is no longer recommended.
The USPSTF and ACP recommend that colon cancer screening be done using one or a combination of screening strategies:
Talk with your doctor about what colon cancer screening option is best for you. Together, you can decide based on your overall health when screening may no longer be of benefit.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. services firms expanded again last month but at a slightly slower pace than they did in May. Orders, exports and hiring grew faster in June.
The Institute for Supply Management said Thursday that its service-sector index slipped to 56 last month, down from May's 56.3 reading. Any figure above 50 indicates expansion, however.
The ISM is a trade group of purchasing managers.
The services survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the workforce, including retail, construction, health care and financial services firms.
Fourteen of 18 services industries expanded in June, led by construction. "Construction activity was particularly strong," Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a research note. "This bodes well for the housing recovery, which has languished in recent quarters."
The services index bounced back this spring after sliding to the lowest level in four years in February in the midst of a bitter winter that caused restaurants and stores to close at times across the country.
The economy shrank at an annual pace 2.9 percent from January through March, but most economists blame the slump on temporary factors _ the bad weather and a sharp drop in business inventories. The economy has shown signs of strength as the weather warmed. Economists expect growth to rebound to an annual pace of 3 percent or more for the rest of the year, boosted by rising consumer demand and a rebound in U.S. export sales.
Adding to evidence the economy is gaining momentum, the Labor Department reported Thursday that employers added 288,000 jobs last month and unemployment fell to 6.1 percent, lowest since September 2008.

Debbie Rowe, Paris Jackson's biological mother who she recently reconnected with for her 15th birthday, has said she would "gladly accept" guardianship of her daughter if a change is wanted after her suicide attempt last week.
But apparently Michael Jackson's family is none too happy about that possibility.
A source connected to the family tells TMZ that the Jackson clan believes Rowe's motivations are to put herself in the public eye, which is why she made a public statement about the guardianship change — "If her intentions were pure she'd be speaking to the family."
TMZ points out that Rowe's public statement to the media was actually not about Paris' guardianship, but rather the suicide attempt, plus Rowe has remained out of the spotlight for years.
But TMZ is told the family will fight "tooth and nail" to keep Rowe from being named Paris' legal guardian. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff is currently reviewing Katherine Jackson's guardianship abilities to determine if Michael's mother is able to properly care for his three children.

Britain's biggest banks will face complete separation if they flout new rules to ring-fence risky operations from savers' deposits, the Chancellor is to announce.
The new legislation will give the Government and a new banking watchdog powers to "electrify the ring-fence" if banks fail to split high street branch operations from the dealing floor. Launching the Banking Reform Bill, George Osborne will tell traders at JP Morgan in Bournemouth there will be no more "too big to fail".
It comes after the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, which was set up in the wake of the Libor rate-rigging scandal, called for a reserve power for full separation if banks did not implement reforms.
Mr Osborne had warned the commission against "unpicking the consensus" over reform proposals in the Bill in November, but appears to have heeded their warnings that loopholes could easily develop.
Sir John Vickers, who chaired the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB), has also said he "would not resist" a complete break-up of banks if so-called ring-fencing fails to achieve its desired effect. But the announcement will put the Chancellor on a collision course with the banks, which claim the legislation will damage London's attractiveness as a global financial centre.
Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers' Association, said: "This will create uncertainty for investors, making it more difficult for banks to raise capital, which will ultimately mean that banks will have less money to lend to businesses."
He said moving away from the universal model of banking undermined banks' ability to provide all the services businesses need. He added: "Above all, what banks and business need is regulatory certainty so that banks can get on with what they want to do, which is help the economy grow."
But Mr Osborne will say: "When the RBS failed, my predecessor Alastair Darling felt he had no option but to bail the entire thing out. Not just RBS on the high street, but the trading positions in Asia, the mortgage books in sub-prime America, the property punts in Dubai.
"I want to make sure that the next time a chancellor faces that decision they have a choice. To keep the bank branches going, the cash machines operating, while letting the investment arm fail."
Shadow Treasury minister Chris Leslie said: "If the Chancellor is now being dragged towards a partial climb down, this is a step in the right direction - but unless he legislates for a strong reserve power with the option for full separation of banks across the board, and not just for one or two banks, then this will be of little use."

Football semifinals updates for sites, times
Tustin is the home team for its CIF-SS Southwest Division semifinal Friday against Villa Park, but Villa Park might request that the game not be at Tustin's home field.
Tustin plays its home games at its on-campus field, Northrup Field, where the seating capacity is 3,700. It is one of the smaller high school football venues in Orange County.
Villa Park athletic director Tom Fox said Northrup might be too small to handle the number of fans expected at the game. Villa Park is considering asking Tustin to secure a larger venue.
A venue close to both schools that would be available Friday is Santa Ana Stadium, which has a capacity of 10,000.
Tustin would have to agree to such a move. If Tustin declined the request, Villa Park could appeal to the CIF-SS office, which approves sites for all CIF-SS playoff games.
If the section office's evaluation of crowd sizes from previous years shows that Northrup Field would be inadequate, then it could instruct Tustin to pursue another venue.
Friday's semifinals for Orange County teams (starting time 7:30 p.m. unless noted):
Pac-5 Division – Mater Dei vs. St. Bonaventure of Ventura at Ventura High, 7 p.m.
Southwest Division – Foothill vs. Edison at Orange Coast College, 7 p.m.; Villa Park at Tustin.
Southern Division – Corona del Mar vs. Woodbridge at Irvine High; Laguna Beach at Garden Grove.

"Thicker Than Water" is a gripping, quick-moving murder mystery that puts most U.S.-generated productions to shame. Its billing as a psychological thriller may put off viewers interested in this rollicking whodunit.
"Thicker Than Water" is a gripping, quick-moving murder mystery that puts most U.S.-generated productions to shame. Its billing as a psychological thriller may put off viewers interested in this rollicking whodunit. Part murder mystery, part nighttime soap and part cop drama, the story sails along as it creates several tangential storylines just as interesting as the main plot.
Convinced her life would be much better if she were married to her sister's husband, Debbie (Theresa Russell) orchestrates a series of mishaps — including the murder of her twin (also played by Russell) — in an effort to improve the quality of her miserable existence. Russell is equally convincing as the conniving Debbie and the do-gooder Jo, who is an extremely tolerant sort and handles her sister's penchant for lunacy in stride. Debbie's hubby Paul (Robert Pugh), a beleaguered, alcoholic police detective, deals as best he can with his wife's envy of Jo's ideal life, and of Jo's well-heeled husband Sam (Jonathan Pryce). The jealousy is exacerbated when Jo becomes pregnant, something Debbie and Paul have been attempting — ultimately reducing the process to almost clinical terms — for three years. Paul's tough-talking blue-collar copper goes against the mold and metaphorically separates the couples, serving as a wedge between the two sisters. While the twin-sister angle — they allegedly have a telepathic connection — is an integral story element, it's wisely not used to excess. Debbie, clearly far nuttier than Jo, is considered as a potential killer, but the lack of confirmation and the surfacing of other likely suspects keeps the connection tenuous, and results in a heart-pounding finale. Scripter Trevor Preston's story glides flawlessly start to finish, and director Marc Evans sucessfully communicates the dread and fear of the players, while capturing the rolling countryside and the steely grayness of a town caught up in the killings.Thicker Than Water

A wise dad wanted to teach his children a valuable life lesson, so one weekend morning he took his two boys on a long hike around the lake near their home. Before they left the house, though, the dad instructed the lads to bring with them their backpacks.
�I am conducting an experiment, boys,� said the dad. �So don�t ask any questions until we get home, and I will explain then,� he uttered tenderly. The boys agreed. �
As they walked along the country road, from time to time the dad would bend down, pick up a stone and place the stone in one of his son�s backpacks. To one boy and then the other, the dad would sporadically place stones in their bags. Sometimes, however, the dad would stop for a moment and take a stone or two from out from the boy�s backpacks. This same scenario continued throughout the course of the day.
Late in the afternoon, the sun began to set as the boys and their father returned home. When they reached the house, the two boys were tired. Their backpacks were heavy with a variety of stones, and the boys were thankful that they didn�t have to carry them on their backs anymore.
Now, warm and comfortable, sitting on their family-room couch, one boy asked, �Dad, can you tell us now about your experiment?� The boys were curious, probing, �Why did you keep putting stones in our backpacks and then take some out?� �
The father explained that when he was a young lad, his dad conducted this experiment with him, and he has always remembered its important message.
�Today,� the father described, �I gave you both an attitude test.�
�As we were hiking,� the father stated, �I was listening carefully to everything you said; and whenever one of you complained or spoke negatively about a person or a situation, I picked up a stone and put it in your backpack.�
The boys stared at each other wide-eyed. Then continuing, the father said, �But, when either of you displayed a grateful, generous attitude; when you spoke of the best in others and a belief in yourself, I removed a stone from the bag.�
There was complete silence as the father asked his sons to take a look at the backpacks they had been carrying all day and said, �Wrong thinking, regrets, frustrations and unforgiveness are like those stones. You can hold them in your mind, just like you carried them in your backpack. And if your mind becomes too cluttered with discouragement, it can prevent great things from happening in your future.�
The father hugged his boys and concluded, �Always remember the power of a positive mind-set. Pay attention to your thoughts. Listen to the words you use, and notice how you say them. For what you think, your attitude, and the words you speak can influence everything around you.�
Similar to this story, don�t permit destructive, toxic thoughts to rule your mind. Even a small, negative thought can become like a little snowball rolling down a steep, snowy hill. As the snowball rolls, it can grow larger and larger. Rather, think of your mind as a revolving door. When a defeating, discouraging thought comes in, spin it out!
Your inner thinking can create outer reality. For Scripture says, �Be careful how you think; for your life is shaped by your thoughts.� (Proverbs 4:23).
A while back, I received a letter from a seasoned business executive. He described how he was mistreated and, subsequently, unfairly let go from his long-standing career.
However, instead of carrying around bitterness or thoughts of self-deprivation and thinking, �I�ll never amount to anything now,� the executive chose to keep his mind on the positives. He ignored the negative comments that were falsely said about him. For he knew that if he kept mulling over wrongdoings or the seemingly dead end, it could stifle his ability to come up with creative solutions.
Having faith in God�s ability to help him overcome and succeed in the future, each morning, the executive affirmed positive statements out loud, �Thank you God, for not giving up on me. Thus, I am not giving up on myself,� he�d utter. And, �God, I know you are guiding me, and you have something great for my future.�
Whatever you say to yourself regularly can seep into your subconscious as your mind responds to your words. All through the day, audibly repeat affirmative statements that are in line with your own special dreams. Speak only what you want to unfold in your future. The more you say how you want situations to turn out, the more you�ll believe it; and the closer you will come to creating it.
The executive then centered his attention on new possibilities. And with his mind free from despair, creativity flowed. Soon, an idea emerged, �This may be the perfect opportunity to start my own company,� he contemplated. A dream that was put on hold for years, perhaps now could be reached.
After that, he took steps toward putting his goals into action and continually spoke positively about the endeavor. The executive diligently persevered to make his aspiration an actuality. And, at the conclusion of his letter, he wrote that he was launching a marketing firm that would assist companies with the changes in business today.
The executive found that with steadfast faith in God and a positive frame of mind, his difficulties were stepping stones to move him forward onto something far better. So don�t let past unjust circumstances destroy your future dreams. You have extraordinary gifts to share with the world. So put your confidence in God and look to Him with gratitude, while continuing to do your best. God will take unfair experiences and turn them around for your advantage.
Today, �be made new in the attitude of your mind.� (Ephesians 4:23) Live your life to the fullest. And in your backpack carry stones that say, �Dream again. Hope again. Plan again. Try again� Be enthusiastic again,� and �Trust God.�
New thoughts can create a new life.

AZ Governor Fights Boycott With Puppets
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has been fending off calls from around the country for a major boycott of her state for its passage of a draconian new immigration law. Last Friday, Brewer's reelection campaign fought back with a new video that quickly went viral. (By Monday morning it had been viewed more than 260,000 times.) In it, a green puppet sings a little ditty about how reading "helps you know what you're talking about," mixed in with clips of various Obama administration officials acknowledging that they've never actually read the ten page Arizona statute they've been bashing. It doesn't have quite the genius of Demon Sheep, but Brewer's video does a decent job of making Attorney General Eric Holder and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano look pretty foolish.
