STOCKTON - Community Response Team officers and members of the San Joaquin County multiagency gang task force made a number of weapons arrests Friday night in Stockton, taking five guns off the streets, authorities said.
Officers found a stolen handgun in a vehicle during a traffic stop at Water View Lane and Carolyn Weston Boulevard about 8 p.m. They arrested Janai Harris, 19; Robert Duckworth, 18; and a 17-year-old boy on suspicion of gun possession.
About 30 minutes later, authorities conducting a probation search in the 1200 block of Luna Lane arrested Abel Dominguez, 31, after finding a handgun in his possession, police said.
At 9 p.m., officers conducted a probation search in the 2400 block of Gareth Circle while conducting a follow-up investigation into an earlier shooting. While searching the home, they found two handguns and an assault rifle. Officers arrested Michael Ang, 21; Soknarin Tim, 22; Jonte Calbert, 24; Sophy Thong, 24; and Sophea Thong, 26.
STOCKTON - The California Highway Patrol arrested a man who duped motorists out of at least $280 while posing as a CHP mechanic performing roadside assistance, authorities said.
The CHP said the man claimed to be part of the new Freeway Service Patrol, which operates in construction areas on Interstate 5 and Highway 99. He asked stranded motorists for money to purchase parts for their vehicles and never returned, authorities said.
The man's identity is not being released yet, police said. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to contact the CHP at (209) 943-8600.
STOCKTON - A Latino man in his 40s was taken to a hospital with serious injuries after being involved in a hit-and-run accident in the 300 block of North Sierra Nevada Street at 10 p.m. Friday, authorities said.
Police said the victim may have been struck by an older model red SUV, possibly a Chevy Tahoe or a Ford Bronco. The vehicle was last seen going east on Lindsay Street, police said.
STOCKTON - Police arrested a parolee at large following a brief foot pursuit shortly after noon Friday near Kelley and Stanfield drives, authorities said.
When officers apprehended Aron Buyard, 29, they found a gram of methamphetamine and a loaded .44-caliber revolver, police said. A parole search of Buyard's residence produced stolen property from a burglary, authorities said. Buyard was arrested on suspicion of possession of an illegal firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of drugs and violation of parole.
LINDEN - Sheriff's deputies called to a home in the 30600 block of East Wimer Road east of Linden arrested a 45-year-old woman after an argument with her husband turned violent, authorities said.
Deputies reported that the woman had stabbed her husband in the back three times with a pair of scissors and that a juvenile was in the home.
The woman faces attempted murder, domestic violence and assault charges, among others. The husband's injuries were treated and are not life-threatening, according to the Sheriff's Office.


text: I looked breifly, but my kit happened to come with a size 0 carrier. No dots, no lines. Still trouble shooting my gun with the original size 1 carrier that I installed. (Not looking hard enough at the carrier) Did notice a slight, very very slight leak down the barrel after I pull the trigger, and hold it down. Bolt doesnt recock sometimes after the squeegee test, but I am also addressing the spring (used gold first) and shims issue. Going over the warpig topic for the level ten, starting with the carrier first. May answer all my questions shortly heh.

Posted on May 30, 2012
I am not given to attending movies (one so far this century) but I have seen a lot of trailers. One of the trailers for "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" inquires what you would do if you knew the world was coming to an end.
Silly question, really. I need more information. Would that be before or after the end of July?
"I'd have the perfect tagline for the Book Fair poster," I told an innocent bystander. "YOUR LAST CHANCE TO READ MOBY DICK!"
The bystander, who wasn't so innocent as I had supposed, stared at me for a moment and said, "Why not Uncle Tom's Cabin?" There's one like her in every crowd.
If you think it over, just about every category at the Book Fair has its books which are more read about than read. Business has Wealth of Nations, History is replete with Spenglers and Toynbees and Wellses, and Classics has dear old Gibbon. As for Romance, well, have all of you read Bridges of Madison County yet?
I'd like to believe that the Book Fair at the End of the World would be more packed than ever. The Religion section would go first, what with all those people picking up copies of their own religion's major works—to look for loopholes—and maybe a few from other religions, in the name of hedging one's bets. But the Political Science section would probably be slow, save for a few people seizing that Last Chance to try to get through Das Kapital. What do you feel about the diet books in Health? Would people be trying to drop a few inches off their ends before the end? Or would they be elbowing their way to the cookbooks, knowing this would be their very last chance to try tapioca meatloaf?
Seeking a Book for the End of the World is serious business. Would you spend your time finally reading that four volume life of John Marshall by Albert Beveridge, or Motley's History of the Dutch Republic? Or will you dash over to Humor to snatch up all of H. Allen Smith, Will Cuppy, and as many Charlie Browns as you can carry? Would you pick up Finnegan's Wake or something by Gertrude Stein, since just trying to understand these could take your mind off impending devastation? Or go for that first edition of the Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, feeling those hash brownies would do the job just as well?
In fact, would you buy more books, or fewer, if the End Time was on its way? After all, you need pay no attention to your spouse demanding to know where you're going to put them all. But maybe you never did.
As for us, we will maintain our standard, Armageddon or no. We will smile as we tally and bag your books. As always, we will look you straight in the eye and make no comment whatsoever at the number of sex manuals in your pile. I'd like to think the checkers would count out your change properly, but I'd like to think you'll be more likely to say, "No, keep it."
Now, as far as I know, the world is not coming to an end around Book Fair time. (It can't; we've got all those Quasquicentennial events planned for fall.) But if it helps you spend money like there's no tomorrow, I'll be glad to pretend. Especially if you promise to pick up a copy of The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood on your way out of existence. (I was going to suggest The Da Vinci Code, but you're right: why take chances?)

I must be the only person on the planet that did not know this. Cake mixes make wonderful last minute muffins. You all know this already right? I feel like an idiot. Rarely do I buy cake mixes, but when I made the cake pops I got an extra box just in case (don't all the foodies always get an extra this or that to store/hoard?). So when the cake mix box meets the 3 pounds of blueberries I have sitting err rotting away in my fridge I said why not? Let's give this a go. And I added on some crumb topping too.
These were definitely quick and easy to make, but a little too sweet for me. Cake mix was very sweet when mixed with the blueberries and crumb topping. But the overhang edges, or the muffin tops were good. Crispy edges are the best part! I always overfill my muffins tins just for the crispy edges--I'm badass like that.
But if you ever need a last minute muffin and have very little time, these will come in handy. But you already knew that....
cake mix blueberry muffins w/ crumb topping
print recipe
muffin batter:
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 pint of blueberries
crumb topping:
1 cups flour
1 cups packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoons coarse salt
½ TB ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, melted & cooled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease up jumbo muffin trays (mine got 12 jumbo).
In a bowl mix all the ingredients for the crumb topping, set aside.
Mix up the cake batter according to box directions. Fold in the blueberries carefully.
Fill up the muffin cups about ¾ full, sprinkle on the crumb topping.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes? Can't remember but check them at the 30 minute mark.
I got 12 oversized muffins. I would imagine about 24 regular size?

ActiveState has announced the release of its Komodo IDE 8 multi-language integrated development environment. Along with a new interface, version 8 sports new cross-platform optimization for OS X, Windows, and Linux.

White Papers
- Top Six Things to Consider with an Identity as a Service Solution
- ESG White Paper: Network Encryption and Security
ReportsMore >>
- How to Protect Your Content and Improve Security with Cloud Client Computing and Thin/Zero Clients
- How to Create an End-to-End Enterprise Payments Hub
The team is most excited about the updates to editing and workflow; each workspace component featured in Komodo can now be undocked and moved freely for more flexibility.
Users now have the ability to detach individual side pane tabs (Places, Code Browser, Debug, Find Results, Breakpoints, etc.) into their own separate window, so you can now put your debugging pane on a completely separate monitor screen (if you have one).
Komodo development lead at ActiveState Todd Whiteman highlights the fact that commonly used code snippets are now automatically inserted to save time. For enhanced file management, all of the user's open files are now organized in a side pane and sorted by language.
Whiteman blogs as follows, "We've revamped the Komodo user interface, you'll notice a new Komodo logo, the toolbars, status bars, and side panes have all been updated, the editor schemes have been tweaked, and we'll continue to improve and modify the styling throughout the Komodo 8 release series. We've also kept around the old Komodo 7 styling for those that prefer a dash of color — simply choose the Classic icon set in Komodo's appearance preferences, or try one of the other myriad of new icon sets we now include in Komodo."
NOTE: Komodo IDE 8 also adds support for the Laravel Blade PHP framework — and Sass, an extension of CSS3.
"These additions reflect our commitment to the rapid changes in the development world," notes Jeff Hobbs, ActiveState CTO and VP of Engineering. "Komodo IDE is trusted for a wide variety of applications, from scientific programming in Python to dynamic web pages in PHP and CSS."
In addition to highlighting retina display support for Mac OS X, Hobbs also points to Komodo's design evolution and says that his firm has always been about embracing change. The firm says that every Komodo release is a big deal, but this one's really going to be a killer.

A goal by St. Ben's Grace Vaughan in the 94th minute secured a 1-0 overtime victory for the Blazers.
It was a heartbreaking loss as the Norse applied pressure on the Blazers end of the field for most of the match. Ellie Arend tallied two of Luther's seven shots on goal. Melisse Chasse, Erika Balk, Cecelia Dourma, Lauren Hughes and Ellie Bunz were each credited with one.
Molly Hilgart was solid in front of the Norse nets turning away five shots.
The loss drops Luther's overall record to 0-3. St. Ben's improved to 3-0-1.
The Norse return to action one week from today when they will travel to St. Olaf College for a match scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.

Even as Kansans continue to dig out from the winter storm that covered the state Feb. 21-22, another storm is poised to dump even more snow across Kansas. Eight to 13 inches are forecast for southwest Kansas with the possibility for as much as 10 to 12 inches falling in the Topeka area beginning mid-to-late Monday afternoon and into the evening. South Central Kansas may be hit the hardest, with forecasts indicating 16 to 24 inches through Monday.
Even as Kansans continue to dig out from the winter storm that covered the state Feb. 21-22, another storm is poised to dump even more snow across Kansas. Eight to 13 inches are forecast for southwest Kansas with the possibility for as much as 10 to 12 inches falling in the Topeka area beginning mid-to-late Monday afternoon and into the evening. South Central Kansas may be hit the hardest, with forecasts indicating 16 to 24 inches through Monday.
The storm will enter the state sometime Sunday evening and may linger into Tuesday. The main concern for high wind is in the southwest part of the state with 25 to 40 mph winds and gusts of more than 55 mph. These winds will cause whiteout conditions and drifting snow, making travel dangerous. There will also be minor accumulations of freezing rain late Sunday into Monday morning.
The Kansas Division of Emergency Management activated the State Emergency Operations Center at noon Sunday and will continue 24-hour staffing until further notice. KDEM staff will be monitoring the weather and will keep in contact with county emergency managers as the storm moves into the state.
Gov. Sam Brownback held a conference call for the media Sunday night to update the public on the weather forecasts and the planned state response. He amended the state of emergency disaster declaration he signed last week to also include this new storm.
"This storm has the potential to be more dangerous than last week's storm," noted Brownback. "Driving will be very dangerous, with whiteout conditions. So, we ask you to stay off the road unless it's absolutely critical. If you have to be out, be prepared with a charged cell phone, an emergency kit with food, water, blankets, flares and a shovel."
Maj. Lee Tafanelli, the adjutant general and director of the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, echoed the governor's advice and urged Kansans to be prepared.
"Make sure your home emergency kit is stocked with food, water, flashlights, batteries, blankets, medicines and everything you'll need to survive on your own for a minimum of three days, if necessary," said Tafanelli. "Review you home emergency plan and be ready to weather the storm safely."
Information on emergency preparedness for home and travel may be found at www.ksready.gov.
Winter Driving Tips
If you must travel in the upcoming winter storm, the Kansas Highway Patrol offers to following tips to prepare your vehicle. Check the fluids, ensuring that the radiator is winterized, the gas tank is over half-full, and there is plenty of windshield washing fluid. Check belts, hoses, and brake systems for excessive wear. Have the exhaust system checked; small leaks can allow carbon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment. Check tire treads for adequate traction, and replace windshield wiper blades if they are ineffective.
Keep an emergency kit that includes at least the following:
· An ice scraper and shovel
· Jumper cables
· Flashlights
· Sand or kitty litter for traction
· Extra blankets or clothing
· Non-perishable food
· A first aid kit
· Matches and candles or flares
· Tow rope or chain
On the road remember the following:
· Allow extra time for delays and slower traffic speeds.
· Buckle up and properly secure children in safety seats.
· Increase the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. Ice and snow significantly increase your stopping distance.
· Accelerate and brake gently. A light foot on the gas is less likely to make wheels spin on ice and snow. Braking is best accomplished by pumping the pedal. If your vehicle has an anti-lock braking system, it is very important that you understand how to use it. Read the owner's manual or check with a dealership for more information, and practice using it correctly.
· Make turns slowly and gradually, especially in heavily traveled areas (e.g. intersections that may be icy from snow that melted and refroze).
· Visibility is very important. You must be able to see out, and other drivers must be able to see your vehicle. Clean frost and snow off all windows, mirrors, and lights. Use headlights as necessary.
· If your car loses traction and begins to slide, steer into the swerve, or in the direction you want to go. Anticipate a second skid in the opposite direction as the car straightens out.
If you are stranded in a winter storm, do not panic. Stay in the vehicle, keep fresh air circulating through a downwind window, run the motor sparingly, turn on the dome light, and stimulate circulation and stay awake by moving arms and legs. If you leave the car, work slowly in the snow to avoid over-exertion and the risk of a heart attack. If you have a cellular phone, call a Kansas Highway Patrol dispatcher by dialing *HP (47), or *KTA (582) while on the Kansas Turnpike.
Additional information on winter driving tips is available on the Kansas Highway Patrol website at www.kansashighwaypatrol.org/press/news_info/winter_drive.html

The El Paso County Sheriff says a gun ditched by James Franklin Lohr as he was being pursued by police early Friday morning has been recovered.
Friday night, sheriff's investigators said they were looking for the gun tossed by Lohr, who is one of two men wanted for questioning in connection to the murder of the Colorado prisons chief.
Authorities released video surveillance showing Lohr, 47, a felon and member of the white supremacist 211 Crew prison gang, ditching the firearm during the pursuit Friday morning. The video also showed two men finding the gun and taking it.
But according to the sheriff's Twitter account, the gun was turned in Friday night by a person who received it from one of the people who picked up the weapon.

Lohr, who had three outstanding Colorado warrants in cases not related to the March 19 murder of Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements, was spotted by officers about 1:30 a.m. Friday leaving a business on Platte Avenue east of Union Boulevard, according to the sheriff's office.
Colorado Springs police officers tried to stop the vehicle Lohr was driving, but he took off, the sheriff's office said. Police pursued Lohr and his vehicle became disabled near Bijou Street and Hancock Avenue. He then ran off but was taken into custody without further incident at 3:35 a.m. in the 200 block of Cedar Street.
Lohr is one of two 211 Crew members investigators have been searching for in recent days in connection to the murder of Clements on March 21 at his Monument home.
Law enforcement has not yet captured the second man, Thomas James Guolee, 31.

The second half of this theatre season promises stratospheric laughs, murder and mayhem and an ode to the heretofore unknown musical side of Adolph Hitler.
The second half of this theatre season promises stratospheric laughs, murder and mayhem and an ode to the heretofore unknown musical side of Adolph Hitler.
BOEING, BOEING opens at DTC on 23 Jan, running through 10 February. Originally a French farce, it was listed in Guiness Book as the most performed French play. Transformed into a film version in 1965, it starred Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis, probably one reason why Lewis' zaniness is more highly regarded in France than America.
DTC's next show, LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE, stars Dawn Wills of Gilligan's Island celebrity. The final offering is a departure for the group, SOUTH PACIFIC.
Music must be in the air. As DTC mounts their first musical in years, REP ENSEMBLE is premiering a show that has never been produced in the state. THE THREEPENNY OPERA was written by legends: German dramatist Bertolt Brecht with music composed by Kurt Weill.
It challenges conventional notions of property as well as those of theatre. It dramatises the question: "Who is the greater criminal: he who robs a bank or he who founds one?" The Threepenny Opera is also an early example of musical comedy. The score has jazz influences. It is most remembered for Bobby Darrin's signature song "The Ballad of Mack The Knife."
This is epic drama and an important piece of musical history. Opens this week through 2 February.
REP ENSEMBLE follows with HAMLET and FEVER.
There is Jerry Lewis and their there is Mel Brooks, the crown prince of zany. NCT opens 25 January with one of the most hilarious musicals in history, THE PRODUCERS. Belly laughs galore, most especially wih the jaw dropping production number, "Springtime for Hilter and Germany!"
The remainder of the season is prime time entertainment. NCT premieres in Delaware LEGALLY BLOND. Next is FOREVER PLAID, a nod to the harmonies of the '50's and then the dynamite A CHORUS LINE.

GS: Where are you from?
FA: I'm from Iraq, Baghdad.
GS: What degree did you/will you receive and when?
FA: I received a medical degree from the College of Medicine – Baghdad University in 2001. I expect to graduate from UAB with my MPH in 2011.
GS: What is your research?
FA: I work as a volunteer in meta-analysis obesity research. I'm currently researching the mental health of Iraqi women in conflict areas. The results may reform regulations and policies of the Iraqi health system and direct the resources and efforts to the proper venues.
GS: Why did you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
FA: UAB's excellent reputation as well as the diverse academic program provided by the School of Public Health that satisfied my research interests.
GS: Have you received any awards or honors?
FA: I was selected as a Fulbright scholar for 2009. It was a great honor to represent my country and to have the chance to pursue graduate study in the U.S. I also had the running position at the "From lab to market" conference held in Cambridge, Massachusetts last May. The theme of the conference was to address innovative interventions that can improve developing countries' capabilities to face their challenges.
GS: What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
FA: Involvement in voluntary work has been my most rewarding experience. This has involved working in community gardens to homeless drives and other activities arranged by UAB or school of public health. I learned that the community's primary responsibility should be for the common good.
GS: Who is your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
FA: My academic advisors and professors helped me to acclimatize with the new academic environment. They assisted me to identify my future objectives and to enhance my learning experience on both theoretical and practical aspects.
GS: What is your motivation in your academics/research?
FA: My main concerns were how to translate my knowledge into relevant outcomes. I was inspired by the School of Public Health's inclusive environment that provided students with a series of real world experience, unique class activities, seminars and open discussions with faculty members. Now, I feel that I'm on the right track, full of passion my research and work.
GS: What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
FA: Actually I can't wait to finish my degree so I can take my part in helping my country. Iraq has suffered from a series of wars that have torn the country. My efforts will be directed toward health system reform and enhancement and participation in the rebuilding process with my fellow citizens.
GS: Is there anything else you would like to say?
FA: Studying at UAB has expanded my horizon. Thanks to all professors, colleagues and friends who supported me. The whole experience has made me feel like a new person that is well equipped to face the future, I know the road will be tough, but challenge is a part of life. I would also like to thank my parents who enlighten my life path and my wife who stood with me through the hardest times.
Firas's advice for other graduate students:
"First say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do." Epictetus
Life is too short to waste. We are here at this moment at this place for a reason. Our ultimate goals and dreams have to contribute to the common good of humanity and to alleviate the suffering of mankind.

ROCKFORD — Guilford football coach Mel Gilfillian challenged his team after suffering a 42-14 loss against Hononegah last week.
The Vikings responded in a big way Friday', knocking off Harlem for the first time in the regular season in five years, 20-7.
With the victory, Guilford improved to 7-2, good for a share of second in the NIC-10.
"We didn't play very well last week," Gilfillan said. "I challenged the kids during the week and called some kids out and asked our seniors to not to be satisfied with six wins and they responded."
The Huskies (6-3) had the advantage early scoring on their opening drive on QB Tanner DiGiovanni's 7-yard run.
It would be the only scoring for the Huskies, who were stymied by the Vikings' defense.
"They scored on the opening drive and after that we made a few adjustments," Gilfillan said. "They (Harlem) gutted us on the run, but we made some adjustments and started to run a different front. I'm so proud of the coaches and the kids. We were in a rough spot last year, but we moved up a lot of sophomores and played a lot of juniors. We were hoping the hard work would pay off and we're glad to see it has."
Guilford QB Nino Musso threw a 6-yard pass to Sedrick Jones, Jr. that tied the game at 7-7 with 44.9 seconds left the first quarter. Right before the half, the Vikings added two more TDs with Delano Clanton scoring on a 2-yard run and Musso connected on a 26-yard pass to Jalante Wallace that made it 20-7.
Musso, who played with a broken left pinky, went 13-for-27 for 174 yards passing. He needed 155 yards to pass Justin Martini (1992), Len Williams (1987) and Ken Kravenas to become Guilford's second all-time leading single-season passer behind Jeff Anderson's 2186 in 1982.
"It's a good feeling," said Musso of his feat.

Invoking Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey" in which the Greek king Odysseus spends 10 years striving to return to his home island of Ithaca, Evangelia "Lina" Papastergiou urged her fellow Naropa University graduates on Saturday to embrace the adventure of the journey before them.
From Athens, Greece, the 31-year-old Papastergiou was among 323 students who had masters or bachelors degrees conferred on them by the contemplative education institution Saturday during a joyous ceremony held at the University of Colorado's Macky Auditorium in Boulder.
"Proud heirs of the adventures of Odysseus, thank you so much for helping me, and assisting me and being here with me," said Papastergiou, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in writing and literature from Naropa and was chosen as the school's undergraduate commencement speaker. "Celebrate your arrival in Ithaca today, because another Ithaca waits for us tomorrow."
With the doors along the east and west auditorium walls flung open to allow the afternoon sunlight and fresh, spring air into the room, Macky rocked Saturday with long and loud applause for all of the members of the Naropa class of 2013.
Following Naropa's traditional gong and bow to open the ceremony, associate professor of transpersonal counseling psychology, Acharya Dale Asrael delivered the invocation.
"May the warmth between us spread in ever-widening circles," Asrael said. "May each of us find a way, unique, our own, to benefit the world."
Philanthropist Jeffrey C. Walker delivered the commencement address. In 1984, Walker co-founded JPMorgan Partners, JPMorgan Chase & Co's global private equity group, and went on to serve as CEO of the firm's $12 billion successor, CCMP Capital. Walker's numerous philanthropic endeavors include founding NPower, a charity that provides technology training and job placement services to inner-city kids, and serving on the board of the $120 million New York City Investment Fund. He also founded the Generosity Network, which is designed to be an essential guide to the art of activating resources to back worthy causes.
Walker, who said he regularly meditates, praised Naropa for being innovative in the "contemplative movement," which he said is being studied scientifically and utilized in fields including business at an ever-increasing rate. He said he believes having a clearer, more present mind through contemplation will help the leaders of the future better tackle the world's challenges.
"I believe that linking the skills of contemplation to deep collaborations is one of the waves that will open compassionate connection with others," Walker said. "You at Naropa are all on the leading edge of this wave and going forward you can have an important impact on the world using the contemplation skills you gained here."
One grad who stood out in the crowd Saturday--thanks in part to his multicolored dyed hair and mutton chop style sideburns--was 25-year-old Dylan Rivard. Rivard, who earned his master's degree in transpersonal counseling psychology with a concentration in wilderness therapy, was also one of the few people who wore a gown at the ceremony. Naropa students traditionally wear only sashes at graduation, but seeking a little more pomp and circumstance, Rivard and few other graduates from the wilderness therapy cohort wore hand-tailored, purple robes.
Rivard has been working as a case manager at Boulder's AIM House, a young-adult focused transitional program that includes wilderness experiences, and plans to stay on with the organization for the foreseeable future. He said the highlight of his Naropa career was the close bonds he formed with other, like-minded students.
"It was perfect," he said of his time at the school. "It was everything I was seeking and more."

CARY, N.C. – The Duke women's tennis team's quest for an 18th Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship was cut short Thursday, as the Blue Devils fell to 11th-seeded Virginia Tech, 4-3., in the opening round of the event. After a gritty comeback from 1-3, the Blue Devils leveled the match at 3-3, but were unable to top the inspired Hokies.
"It was definitely a tough match," said head coach Jamie Ashworth. "We got off to such a bad start, in doubles we were down 4-0 on one court and 6-2 on another, and I think Virginia Tech started to believe they could win. Obviously only having two doubles teams, it makes it tough when you start like that. We did a good job fighting back. It puts a lot of pressure on our girls, when we start off slow like that."
After forfeiting the third doubles position, the Blue Devils compounded problems by getting off to a slow start, falling behind on both doubles courts. Junior Marianne Jodoin and sophomore Annie Mulholland fell behind 0-4 to Carol Kahoun and Raluca Mita on court two, but rallied by winning eight consecutive games to claim the match, 8-4.
In the top spot, the tandem of junior Hanna Mar and senior Mary Clayton fell behind 2-6 to Illinca Stoica and Kelly Williford, but were able to break serve twice to level the match at 6-6. After the Hokies held serve, Clayton pinned the corners with a couple of serves to even it up at 7-7. Despite the comeback, Stoica and Williford were too much for the Blue Devils, taking the match, 9-7.
As singles play began, the Blue Devils found themselves down 0-2 after forfeiting the sixth singles position, but responded by taking leads on all five singles courts. After falling in doubles, No. 109 Clayton responded by overwhelming Mita, 6-1, 6-1, on court two. In the fifth position, senior Nicole Lipp fought, but could not slow Kahoun, falling, 6-1, 6-1.
With the Blue Devils down 1-3, 27th-ranked Mar kept the match alive by topping No. 125 Stoica, 6-0, 6-3, in the top position. Just moments later, Mulholland closed out her match against Isel Martinez-Marcos on court three, 6-4, 6-2, to level the match at 3-3.
In her match, Mulholland jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, but dropped a break allowing Martinez-Marcos to even the match at 4-4. Despite the setback, Mulholland broke serve, then closed out the set with a number of powerful forehands. In the second set, Mulholland dispatched of Martinez-Marcos, 6-2.
With the match level at 3-3, all eyes turned to court four where Jodoin and Williford traded games early before finding themselves level at 5-5. After Williford was unable to hold serve, Jodoin closed out the set with a couple of well-placed serves. In the second set, Williford went up a break early and jumped out to a 4-1 lead, and took the set, 6-3.
In the third set, the two players traded games before Williford broke serve to take a 3-2 lead, and was able to hold serve to take a 5-3 edge. Despite fending off match point, Jodoin was unable to slow Williford, falling 6-3 to clinch the match for Virginia Tech. The loss was the first for Jodoin since Nov. 4, 2012, a streak of 22 consecutive wins.
"We competed in the singles and did a good job fighting back, but it's too bad that we have to end in the first round," Ashworth said. "We just have to regroup and work hard over the next two weeks. I think that some of our losses have really shaken our confidence, so we just need to find a way to get some confidence and really start believing in each other. It's not a stroke thing, or anything like that, we just need to find our confidence."
The Blue Devils will return to the courts for the opening rounds of the NCAA Tournament May 10-11.
No. 11 Virginia Tech 4, No. 6 Duke 3
1: Stocia/Williford (VT) def. Mar/Clayton (DU), 9-7

Let's take as a given that Schilling needs to pray before he begins his work in a baseball game. Why couldn't he pray in the bullpen? Or on his way across the outfield to the mound? (Or in the morning when he wakes up? Or right before when he leaves his house?) ... Will God forget the prayer if Schilling says it too early, before he throws his first pitch? Does Schilling need to see how well he's commanding his splitter, and adjust his prayer accordingly? Maybe God watches NESN -- and thus needs to see Curt praying to then hear the supplication.
I grew up in a very religious home (some would call it a cult) -- and when I see what I believe are calculated (to some degree) displays of faith, I cannot help but think of Matthew 6:5-6:
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

From CBS Sportsline.com
While the Baltimore Ravens filled their need for another pass rusher by signing veteran Elvis Dumervil over the weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers might be targeting a rookie to help take the place of five-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker James Harrison, who the team released two weeks ago in a cost-cutting move.
Reports have surfaced that the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year might be willing to return to Pittsburgh, but general manager Kevin Colbert has never been one to wait for replacement options and, judging by his appearance Monday at a private workout for Ohio State pass rusher John Simon, Harrison may have waited too long.
Colbert was the headliner among representatives from 12 teams at Simon's workout, according to a report from NFL.com's Gil Brandt.
The 6-1, 257-pound Simon starred as a defensive end for the Buckeyes but will likely have to make the transition to outside linebacker in the NFL at this size. He struggled when asked to do so in Mobile, Ala., during Senior Bowl practices before succumbing to a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined at the combine and during Ohio State's originally scheduled Pro Day, March 8.
Despite being hampered by a knee injury that limited him to just 11 games in 2012, Simon was named the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year with 44 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss and a career-high nine sacks. On more than one occasion, the high-effort Simon was characterized by Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer as the "heart and soul" of the team.
Simon demonstrated enough athleticism during his drills Monday to reassure scouts from 3-4 clubs of his ability to pressure the quarterback as a stand-up rusher. He was clocked between 4.62 and 4.70 in the 40-yard dash and posted times of 4.42 seconds in the short shuttle and 7.10 in the three-cone drill. These times are in line with some of the other intriguing "second-tier" hybrid edge rushers of the 2013 draft class, like Auburn's Corey Lemonier and Southern Mississippi's Jamie Collins, among others.
Sporting similarly compact builds, as well as burst and power, Simon and the 6-0, 242-pound Harrison have a lot of similarities in the way that they wreak havoc off the edge.
If healthy, Simon could prove to be an immediate impact defender likely to be available in the second to third round.

Leading LGBT Organizations Share Their Wish List With Obama
President Barack Obama declared victory last night, winning a second Presidential term over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. And leading LGBT organizations have set their sights squarely on the future, outlining a list of goals they would like to see the President meet, from HIV funding to protection of service members and seniors, to combating homelessness and bullying.
"What we want is a president who recognizes our lives and families and will fight for us. President Obama has repeatedly shown he is willing to do so, and we now have another four years to keep up the momentum," said National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey.
Carey said that four years ago, when Barack Obama was first elected president, the NGLTF was optimistic that it marked the dawn of a new political era in the life of this country. The new administration promised a sea change in the national dialogue on LGBT issues, and in many ways, that's exactly what's happened, said Carey.
"From passage of hate crime protections and the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' to growing support for marriage equality and implementing new policies that treat LGBT people and our families with fairness and dignity, the last four years have been filled with monumental gains," she noted.
Although the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation was cautious about endorsing a candidate, given their 501c3 non-profit status, they did share a list of priorities that encompassed the entire LGBT community.
"Our nation's leader needs to address the fact that the latest public polling shows a majority of Americans support marriage equality as well as employment non-discrimination for LGBT people. We also need to secure open military service for transgender service members," said Vice-President of Communications Rich Ferraro, on behalf of GLAAD.
The LGBT community saw some significant gains during the Obama Administration's first term, including the repeal of DADT, the lifting of the HIV travel ban and employment protections for federal employees prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, and for the first time, gender identity.
"It's clear from last night's results that Americans have no desire to turn the clock back on our drive to full equality. The President knows that the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' was not the end, but just the beginning," said OutServe-SLDN Executive Director and Army veteran Allyson Robinson.
"Now is the time to step on the gas to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act and ensure that all service members and their families are treated equally by our military," she said, adding, "And now is the time to say once and for all that any qualified American who wants to serve our country in uniform should not face discrimination or harassment because of sexual orientation or gender identity."

The Obama Administration got tougher on bias crime, with the passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the first federal law to add protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
"We need to eliminate the high rates of violence against the trans community," said Ferraro. "Issues facing LGBT youth such as bullying and high rates of homelessness also warrant increased attention from our federal government. LGBT young people should hear that they are supported and embraced for who they are and that they too can thrive in this great country."
The Obama Administration also looked out for LGBT couples' health care rights. Nearly every hospital in the United States is now required to have a written policy that explicitly allows a patient to designate whomever they want to visit them in hospitals, including LGBT families. In the health insurance marketplaces (or "exchanges") that will be set up in 2014 under the health reform law, health insurance plans will not be allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
In addition, virtually any housing program touched by the federal government is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity due to a rule issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
At Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders, the hope was that the future would include support for seniors.
"One of SAGE's top priorities is ensuring that the Older Americans Act (OAA), which is likely to be reauthorized in 2013, includes support for LGBT older adults," said SAGE Director of Marketing and Media Relations Judy K. Evans, on behalf of the organization. "The OAA is the country's largest vehicle for funding and delivering services to older people in the U.S., and currently bears no mention of LGBT elders and the profound challenges they face."
Evans said that this fall, Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced the LGBT Elder Americans Act of 2012, which proposed several amendments to the OAA that would increase federal supports for LGBT older people, including specifying LGBT elders as a population in 'greatest social need.'
"This was a major step forward for elders in every part of the country, and if passed, would mean that LGBT people face a future that supports healthy aging for all Americans," said Evans.
Keeping their clients healthy was a priority for Dr. Marjorie J. Hill, CEO of the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York. At the top of her wish list was to offer greater mobility in coverage for HIV care and treatment for outside network providers in Medicaid Special Needs Plans (SNPs) as part of Medicaid expansion in participating states.
She also stressed the importance of lifting the ban on federal funding for syringe exchange programs, and gaining as many supporters in Congress as possible to ensure its sustainability. GMHC also hoped to continue working with the Department of Justice to implement the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and improve HIV prevention and education in federal prisons.
"We need to support the REPEAL HIV Discrimination Act, to end HIV criminalization and the legal sources of stigma," added Hill.
Most organizations remarked that while they saw the tremendous strides over the past four years, much remains to be done.
"The president's re-election presents us with the opportunity to keep moving forward," Carey told EDGE. "In the next four years, we will be vigilant in pursuing policies to ensure our community continues on the path toward equality and is not left behind. We'll be pushing for passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, ending the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, ensuring that transgender people can serve openly in the military, preserving a social safety net, and continued reform of the immigration and health care systems, among other issues."
Key priorities for Obama's second term include the passage of ENDA, the repeal of DOMA, protecting funding for the Ryan White CARE Act, working against employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity by government contractors and others who receive federal funding.
Many also noted that they would like to see more inclusive policies toward transgender individuals, including ensuring that they can serve openly in the military. Overall, many LGBT leaders were relieved that Obama won re-election and for other pro-gay gains at the polls, noting that they wanted to ensure that federal funds were not used to discriminate against LGBT people and their families.
"The bottom line is that America deserves nothing less than a president who will treat all families fairly -- and that's what we have," said Carey. "We congratulate President Obama and his team. We look forward to working with them to build a stronger future for LGBT people and in creating opportunity for all."

The other night I had the opportunity to visit with a delightful high school English teacher from another town.
The other night I had the opportunity to visit with a delightful high school English teacher from another town. I asked about the opportunities she has to encourage her students and offer unique challenges. Our discussion was centered on the importance of respect. Whenever I hear or say respect, I have a tendency to spell it out in my head. It reminds me of an old Aretha Franklin song. In the song, Aretha spells out the word as she sings and goes on to say, "Find out what it means to me."
I love it! It is so true. Respect can have different meanings for different people. What could be better than taking time to understand what it means for someone and then offering it?
Some things are universally respectful and needed by all. I'm sure I've mentioned before, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow was a humanist psychologist who created a pyramid of needs that he felt individuals must satisfy in order to develop, grow, attempt to satisfy higher level needs, and become the best they can be.
'Everyone begins life attempting to satisfy their basic needs ~ food, water, safety, etc. As those are satisfied, one can begin working on satisfying their higher level needs: love and belonging, self-esteem and continuously working on their self-actualization. If the things that satisfy the lower level needs are swept away, it is more difficult for a person to be concerned about the maintenance of their higher level needs.
Across the world, humans at various developmental stages, require certain levels of respect. Babies need mindful attention and unconditional love in order to become the best they can be. They need coos answered, diapers changed, appropriate sleep and food when they are hungry. Children need to be understood for who they are, be heard, have room to grow, have adequate sleep, and be a priority in their parents' lives. Adults need to be listened to, have responsibility, and feel like they are important and are making a difference in the world.
In addition to these common needs, people have their own individual definitions of respect. It is important to understand "what it means" to people you live with, work with, or spend time with. Sometimes it may be the complete opposite of what you might think. Taking time to learn what someone needs in order to feel respected is a gift beyond any other. Take the time!

Flu arrives early as region's hospitals take measures to slow its spread
If you've been meaning to get a flu shot but haven't gotten around to it yet, don't wait any longer.
That's the advice coming from the region's three local hospitals, which have all been hit in recent weeks by an influx of patients with flu symptoms. Flu season is peaking a few weeks earlier than normal across Connecticut and in 30 other states, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and may have caught many people off guard because it comes after last year's unusually mild flu season.
On Wednesday, Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in New London imposed visitor restrictions in response to the uptick in flu cases, joining The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich and The Westerly Hospital, which imposed the restrictions last month.
"We're seeing a lot of cases for this early in the season," said Russell Melmed, epidemiologist with the Ledge Light Health District, which provides public health services to New London, Groton, Ledyard, Waterford and East Lyme. "It's never too late to be vaccinated, and this year's vaccine is a good match for the main flu strain circulating."
Statewide, there have been 606 confirmed flu cases this season, the state Department of Public Health said, but many more people are likely to have been sickened with the virus but not tested. About 8 percent of emergency room visits over the past six weeks were attributed to the flu, and about 6 percent of hospitalizations, the health department said.
Dr. Laura Rau, assistant director of L&M's emergency department, said that all of the 56 confirmed flu cases treated at the hospital have been the predominant H3N2 strain, and none have been the H1N1 "swine flu" strain that caused the 2009 epidemic. According to the CDC, 37 percent of the cases reported nationwide thus far this year are H1N1.
Rau said flu patients coming to the hospital are showing typical symptoms including respiratory complaints, fever, cough, sore throat, sweats and body aches, and most of those experiencing the worst symptoms are elderly. She also noted there has been an influx of patients with other illnesses also causing respiratory or gastrointestinal problems. Thus far, 17 people have been hospitalized at L&M because of the flu, 12 of whom are still there, hospital spokesman Mike O'Farrell said.
Most people who become ill with the flu do not need to seek care at the hospital, Dr. Rau said, but can recover at home with a few days of rest. She advised anyone who feels the need to be seen by a doctor to first try their primary care physician before coming to the emergency room.
People should go to their doctor or the emergency room, she said, if their symptoms worsen after a few days or if they have difficulty breathing or underlying health conditions.
According to the CDC, the antiviral medications Tamiflu and Relenza are effective against the H3N2 strain.
At Backus, 19 people have been hospitalized for the flu over the last few weeks, and there have been 148 confirmed cases, spokesman Shawn Mawhiney said.
"Our ERs are very busy," he said, referring to the both the main hospital and the Plainfield emergency departments.
Visitor restrictions, which were imposed on Dec. 14, remain in effect, he added. Restrictions include a ban on visits by anyone age 18 and younger, and a request that anyone with cough, sore throat or other symptoms refrain from visiting.
"We're trying to be proactive," Mawhiney said.
Westerly Hospital has had 16 confirmed flu cases and four hospitalizations for flu in the last four days, said spokesman Nick Stahl. Like Backus, it is asking people with any flu-like symptoms not to visit patients.
At L&M, the restrictions include no visitors 18 and younger; no one with fever, cough or other flu-like symptoms; and no visitors other than immediate family or caregivers. No more than two adult visitors will be allowed at once.
"Our focus is on patient safety," Dr. Joseph Gadbaw, chairman of the department of medicine, said in a news release. "These restrictions are part of our infection prevention plan to prevent the spread of influenza at L&M."
Visitors are also urged to wash hands when entering and leaving the hospital and outpatient facilities.
To prevent getting and spreading the flu, Melmed also advised frequent hand washing, keeping hands away from the face, and staying home from work or school when feeling sick.
"This year's flu could cause a more severe type of illness, and the early start could mean a longer flu season this year," he said.

Salt Lake City-based Fusion-io, which specializes in enterprise flash memory products, has acquired Louisville's NexGen Storage for $119 million, company officials announced Wednesday.
NexGen develops hybrid storage appliances based on Fusion's ioMemory technology used by small- to medium-sized businesses.
Under the terms of the transaction, Fusion-io (NYSE: FIO, $16.63) paid $114 million in cash and $5 million in stock, according to a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Kirk Holland, managing director of NexGen investor Access Venture Partners, classified Wednesday's $119 deal as one of the top tech exits in Colorado during the past 10 years.
"Events like this continue to punctuate (Colorado's technology environment) nationally," he said.
Since its founding in 2010, NexGen raised $12 million in venture capital from investors that included Access Venture Partners and Grotech Partners.
"Obviously there are bigger exists out there, price-wise," Holland said. "What this team did, they did a phenomenal job of being very capital-efficient as they built the business. The company only raised $12 million ... that's a very, very efficient use of capital."
The big-money deal is not new to the founders of the software-defined storage company NexGen.
John Spiers and Kelly Long launched NexGen in 2010, two years after they sold LeftHand Networks, a Boulder-based network storage provider, to HP for $360 million.
The acquisition also bolsters Fusion-io's presence in Boulder County.
NexGen employs about 50 people in an office at 361 Centennial Parkway, which is located roughly 1.5 miles from Fusion-io's engineering center in Superior.
Officials for Fusion-io and NexGen could not be immediately reached for comment.
Fusion-io officials said the acquisition would allow it to gain a stronger foothold in the small to medium enterprises (SME) market.
"Many SME businesses have lean IT teams and budgets, making it critical to offer an integrated and affordable entry point for flash powered application acceleration that delivers consistent performance, even under demanding workloads like VDI and analytics," David Flynn, Fusion-io chief executive officer and chairman, said in a statement. " ... With this acquisition, we will maintain the current NexGen product model as we transition to supporting customers' preferred server platforms with our OEM partners."
Fusion-io's Flynn and NexGen CEO John Spiers are expected to discuss the significance of the acquisition during a webcast scheduled for 8 a.m. today at nexgenstorage.com.
Separately on Wednesday, Fusion-io reported a net loss of $20 million, or 21 cents per share, on revenue of $87.7 million during its third quarter that ended March 31. In the third quarter last year, the company had a net loss of $4.7 million, or 5 cents per share, on revenue of $94.2 million.
The results and fourth-quarter guidance of $110 million surpassed analysts' expectations.
Shares of Fusion-io closed down 17 cents, or 1.01 percent, Wednesday, but jumped $1.84, or nearly 11.1 percent, in after-hours trading.

Natalie Rockers chose the perfect time to make a free throw.
Natalie Rockers chose the perfect time to make a free throw.
It was in overtime. With the game - and championship - on the line.
Ark City's and Augusta's girls basketball teams were knotted at 29 in the extra period when Rockers stole a pass with 10 seconds left. She dribbled through traffic up the court and was fouled with 1.4 seconds remaining.
Rockers sank the first free throw to lift the Bluejays ahead. She missed the second one, but Ark City couldn't get off a shot, and the Bluejays beat the Bulldogs 30-29 to win the Pioneer League tournament championship in thrilling fashion Tuesday night.
Madison Wheeler also came through in the clutch for the Bluejays. She sank 4 of 4 free throw attempts in the overtime period to allow the Bluejays to catch up to Ark City.
The Bluejays had a six-point lead midway through the third quarter before Ark City tied the game with a 6-0 spurt. Ark City held a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter, but free throws by Wheeler and Kylie McDaniel gave the Bluejays the lead again. Ark City tied the game with four seconds left in regulation. The Bluejays got off a great shot at the buzzer for the win, but the shot was just off.
The 7th-graders finished the season as PL Division II regular-season co-champions. Now, they have a tournament championship to go along with it. They finished the season with a 13-3 record.

Lebron Takes His Talents to the Bahamas After Finals Loss
If I had a bad week going to the Bahamas would cheer me up as well. Even if I had a good week, it is never a bad thing to fly down to the islands.
Lebron fueled the King's Jet and high tailed it out of South Beach almost immediately after Mavs were making it rain at Liv.
King James wasted no time in getting over the heartbreaking loss of the NBA Championships to the Dallas Mavericks, as he was spotted in The Marina Village, over at the Atlantis, Paradise Island.
Lebron will be ok, people are overacting currently. Hopefully Bron Bron takes this Finals loss as motivation to work on improving his skill set this offseason.

PEPPERELL -- Two weeks after sending out a survey with the census to gauge residents' desires and concerns regarding the town's economy, the Economic Development Advisory Committee has already heard back from 197 people. Although the results of the survey have not been analyzed, the committee is encouraged by the amount of responses thus far.
The nine-person committee did not reach a quorum for its Tuesday evening meeting, but the members who were present briefly discussed the incoming surveys.
Town Administrator John Moak, acting chairman of the committee, said that the timely responses may have something to do with the town's demographic.
"Our population has changed," said Moak. "We're seeing the 30 to 40 (year-olds) drop off and we're much stronger in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s. Also being in that younger age group, people are not as great about getting their census in early."
Ultimately, said Moak, he would like to see a response in the range of 400 and 500 people.
The committee mailed out the survey as a way to connect with residents about what they would like to see from the town. Questions asked for opinions on a variety of subjects ranging from business development and local services to bylaws to the beautification and walkability of the town.
In addition to mailing them back to the committee, residents may also fill out the surveys online at SurveyMonkey.com.
"I don't know what we're going to get out of this but we're definitely going to get some answers," said Moak.
The idea for the survey came from the group's public relations sub-committee.
"We asked ourselves, how do we get residents involved? We ask them what's important to them. We let them know their opinions are crucial," said committee member Diane Cronin.
The EDAC Committee, which was formed by the Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board, is celebrating their one year anniversary this month. Their goal is ultimately to advise the town in creating a sustainable economy within the community, said Moak. The committee has three focus areas: Business development, public relations and town beautification.
One item that members had identified as an important focal point was developing the town's walkability, thus being able to bring attention to local businesses.
It was the volunteer efforts of the committee members that produced a visitor's guide for the town this past summer. The members mapped out a downtown area of Pepperell from Town Hall to the Rail Trail to Pepperell Skydiving, and listed businesses that sold consumable items to people walking through town.
"Those things people might take advantage of when they're here," said Moak.
Although the committee has received feedback from residents about revamping the guide to compile a list of all of the businesses in town, the members are concerned about their lack of resources and manpower.
"We're an advisory committee, so our hope is to start that momentum but we're hoping that someone other than (EDAC) would take the visitor's guide in its conceptual form and take it to the next level," said Cronin.

A 61-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of prostitution after police searched a Broomfield massage parlor has been released from jail pending charges.
Kuaglan Zhang, 61, was arrested after police searched Spring Spa, 1004 Depot Hill Road, Suite 1D. She was taken to Broomfield County jail and was released pending charges. Police on Friday said there is no timeline for filing of charges, since they are still determining Zhang's involvement in the case.
An employee of a nearby business in the strip mall said officers arrived at the spa around noon Wednesday and were on scene for hours. Police personnel were seen carrying brown paper bags out of the spa to the crime scene truck.
The same employee said men were often seen coming and going after the spa's posted business hours, but said no one had seen anything illegal. The spa advertises "free table showers and sauna" in its front window.
Other employees for businesses in the strip mall said their suspicions were raised by men, one at a time, going in through the back door, often late at night. The men always parked across the street and walked to the spa, they said.
Spring Spa is listed on a website that features reviews of massage parlors billed as offering "erotic" services.
The last massage parlor raid in Broomfield was in 2008, when police raided Tokyo Sauna, 555 Highway 287, Unit L, on Aug. 6. The spa owner, an employee and a customer were arrested for activities related to prostitution. Tokyo Sauna, which police said opened in mid-July, was closed after the raid.
Police are not sure if Zhang is an employee of or an owner of the spa. Spring Spa is owned by a limited liability corporation, named Spring Spa, Depot Hill, according to Colorado Secretary of State's Office records. It was incorporated in 2009 under a different name. As recently as August 2012, Zhang was listed as the registered agent for the LLC. The registered agent was changed to Rod A. Erbertowski in February.
A search of Department of Regulatory Agencies did not reveal a license for Zhang. All massage therapists must be licensed by DORA.
