The trial for Scott Roeder, the alleged murderer of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller, MD, has been postponed until January 2010. Roeder's trial for first degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault had originally been set to begin today, according to the Wichita Eagle.
If convicted of all charges, Roeder faces life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years. Preliminary hearings for Roeder were held in July.
Dr. Tiller, who was medical director of the Women's Health Care Services clinic in Wichita, Kansas, was killed in May at his church. The Department of Justice opened an investigation in June to look into possible federal crimes associated with the murder. The federal government also convened a meeting of the National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers in the days following the murder and Attorney General Eric Holder deployed US Marshals to protect highly threatened clinics and staff.

Umps huddle, correctly rule DP in Game 1
Replays support Cano, Matsui were out on fifth-inning play
By Mark Newman / MLB.com
After a leadoff single by Hideki Matsui for the Yankees, Robinson Cano hit a sinking liner to Rollins at short. Rollins actually tried to short-hop the ball for an easy double play, but caught the ball in the web of his glove just before it reached the dirt for out No. 1. Just to be safe, Rollins then stepped on second base and made the throw to Ryan Howard at first.
Whether the throw pulled Howard off first base -- TV replays were borderline -- became a moot point, because Rollins alertly noticed that Matsui was still straying off first base after the throw to first and told Howard to tag Matsui. Howard did just that, resulting in a double-play call. It was a crucial point of the game, with the Phillies protecting a one-run lead on their way to a 6-1 victory.
"I was trying to let it hit the ground," Rollins explained. "I looked up and I saw Robinson kind of halfway. Worst-case scenario is I catch the ball, and that's what happened. [Umpire Brian] Gorman started yelling, 'Catch! Catch!' and I was kind of disappointed. I was like, 'Noooo.'
"So I went ahead and threw it anyway. Matsui was already walking back with his head down. I was trying to yell at Ryan to make sure he tagged him, and he did. I turned around to Gorman and said, 'That's two outs.' And he's kind of like, 'Well, let's talk about it.'
"Once I caught it and threw it to first and he tagged him, it was automatic. There was really nothing to mess up there. And they got it right."
Indeed, all of the umps gathered and spent a minute discussing the play. They reemerged and reiterated the double-play call. Yankees manager Joe Girardi came out to mildly protest the call, and then play resumed.
"He caught me by surprise," Matsui said. "Even the second-base umpire didn't call it correctly right away."
It was the first close play to be adjudged by this crew, amid probably more scrutiny than ever in World Series history.
After a host of mistaken umpiring calls in this postseason, Major League Baseball broke tradition and filled the entire crew with significant World Series experience. The group includes veteran crew chiefs Gerry Davis, Joe West and Dana DeMuth, along with Gorman, Jeff Nelson and Mike Everitt. Davis is the crew chief for this series and was behind the plate for Game 1.
At least a pair of first-time World Series umpires has been on each of the past five crews. Starting in 1983, the only crew that did not include a World Series rookie before now was '97. That didn't happen this year because MLB wanted more experienced umpires to try and avoid the mistakes that plagued the first two rounds.
"They handled it right," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said of the play. "I think what happened was, Rollins put a deke on Matsui is what it looked like. But Rollins caught the ball. And the umpire at second base called it a catch."
Rollins' play showed the incredible precision at this level of play. He was trying to do something few players probably would attempt in the same situation -- to not catch a ball.
"I was trying to let the ball bounce," Rollins said. "But I wasn't going to let it bounce way up on me. If it was going to bounce, it was going to bounce right into my glove. I got too close, I guess you can say."

I'm using CVI/LabWindows as the RTE. Since the older Version 5.5 doesn't have a tree-view I made one up using the standard WinAPI by putting the tree-view into a wrapping window of the same size. So now I get the standard messages the tree-view sends to its parent (thus my own wrapping window) and can react to them - such as WM_NOTIFIY. I've implemented functions as Drag&Drop and label editing so far.
Now, I also need to associate a color with each item. I could use the images for that but apparently I already use them for different information. Now I would like to have the labels a certain color. Or if possible draw some whitespaces with a specific background color.l
I think I already read, that by standard the tree-view does not allow colors for the item labels. I also found the Microsoft example CustomDraw but I can't figure out how it's working.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Chancellor's Communication-December 10, 2001
December 10, 2001
As we close out this term, I want to once again thank you for the outstanding work that you have done during the last few challenging months. We are a stronger and better institution because of the manner in which you responded to the attacks on our nation and their aftermath. Throughout it all you have stayed focused on achieving our mission: offering opportunity to students of all backgrounds by providing access to high-quality education and helping to prepare California's future workforce. I am grateful for your determination and dedication to this mission.
In my last message, I promised that I would keep you up to date on any new budget developments. Although the state's economic situation is still in flux, the short-term outlook continues to be grim. Just before Thanksgiving, the governor asked the CSU to prepare for a second round of reductions to its total current budget. The new reductions, totaling $10 million, will go beyond the 1% one-time reduction totaling about $25 million that our campuses had been asked to make earlier this fall. The governor's proposed cuts to the 2001/02 budget now total $35 million for all CSU campuses and the Chancellor's Office. Each campus and the Chancellor's Office will absorb the cost proportionately in relation to their adjusted general fund budgets.
The new reductions will be subject to discussion by the state legislature in January. Since many factors could change before and during the legislative session, I have asked our campus presidents to position themselves for maximum flexibility and responsiveness.
I understand that this is a difficult time for all of our campuses, and I thank you for your patience during this period of uncertainty. I want you to know that the CSU trustees, presidents, and our teams in Sacramento and here at the Chancellor's Office in Long Beach will be working hard over the next few months to preserve our budget so that we can maintain the highest quality programs and services for our students, faculty, and staff.
Regarding our bargaining with the California Faculty Association and the California State Employees Association, we remain hopeful that we will reach an agreement soon. The CSU has made an offer to extend the terms of the existing agreement through June 2002 and to provide for a 2 percent GSI increase retroactive to July 1. We would continue bargaining on the terms of future years' agreements, building on the progress that we have already made this year.
Although the CFA has rejected this offer, we continue to work with the CSEA on these terms. Given the tight economic environment -- and recognizing the desire on everyone's part for our faculty and staff to receive their well-deserved compensation increases for this year -- I hope that this offer can serve as a foundation for reaching agreement with both units.
Last, since many of you have expressed a desire to receive more timely news about the CSU, I want to alert you to a new e-mail publication that we have developed called "CSU Leader." This weekly publication is sent out as an electronic list-serve to our trustees and campus and alumni leaders, as well as to anyone who wants up-to-date information and news about the CSU. To view current and past issues of CSU Leader, and for information on how to subscribe, please see http://www.calstate.edu/CSULeader.
I hope that this publication will give you the opportunity to stay better informed about CSU issues. I will continue to send periodic e-mail updates to all employees again beginning in January.
Let me close this message by thanking you for all you have done over the last few months and throughout your career at the California State University. I wish all of you and your families a very happy and safe holiday and many blessings in the new year.
Chancellor Charles B. Reed

Hamstring better, Swisher back with a bang
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Swisher chased Royals starter Luke Hochevar with a third-inning homer, his seventh of the year. He finished 1-for-5 but said that working with hitting coach Kevin Long during the series at Kauffman Stadium kept him sharp.
"We've been working the past three, four days," Swisher said. "I've been with K-Long, working in the cage, really trying to stay consistent and do the same thing every day. My mindset has been good. More than anything, it was just good to get out there. I had a blast today."
Swisher had been out of action since April 29 with a tight left hamstring, but he passed all tests after running the bases during batting practice on Saturday afternoon, including twice taking a bow when he reached third base. Swisher could take it easy by trotting after his homer, but he feels ready to get back in the outfield on Tuesday against the Rays at Yankee Stadium.
"I don't like missing any time anyways," Swisher said. "For it to be something as little as this, maybe we took a couple more days than what we needed to, but it's a long season and you want to be out there every single day you can be. I think the training staff and everyone did a great job."
Triple-A rehab stint next step for Gardner
KANSAS CITY -- Brett Gardner's next destination figures to be Rochester, N.Y., as the outfielder is ready to test his strained right elbow in Minor League rehabilitation games.
Gardner is expected to join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after hitting in the batting cages at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday. Gardner has not played since April 17 and could need two or three Minor League games to prove that he is ready for big league duty.
"Really, it depends on how he feels, how comfortable he feels with his swing," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It shouldn't be too long."
Bombers bits
The Yankees are expecting third baseman Eric Chavez to return from the seven-day concussion disabled list on Thursday, the first day he would be eligible to do so. Chavez is expected to be at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday after seeing a physician.
Curtis Granderson recorded the 1,000th hit of his Major League career with a third-inning single on Sunday afternoon.
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera plans to see several doctors in New York on Monday and Tuesday to evaluate the torn ACL in his right knee and discuss treatment options. The Yankees continue to anticipate that Rivera will miss all of the 2012 season.
On this date in 1922, Yankees hurler Carl Mays pitched a 2-0 shutout over the Philadelphia A's at Shibe Park that took one hour and 11 minutes to complete. On this date in 1930, the Yankees acquired pitcher Red Ruffing from the Red Sox for backup outfielder Cedric Durst and $50,000. Ruffing went 231-124 with the Yankees and gained election to the Hall of Fame in 1967; Durst would not play in the big leagues after 1930.

Dominicans rally, overpower Italians late
Reyes, Cano go deep; Cruz comes up clutch
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
MIAMI -- All afternoon, the Dominican Republic and its faithful at Marlins Park were looking for a moment to erupt. It came in the seventh inning.
Nelson Cruz's two-out, opposite-field single punctuated a three-run inning that rallied the heavily favored Dominican squad to a 5-4 win over Italy on Tuesday afternoon in Round 2 of the World Baseball Classic.
|Bracket | Full scoreboard
Cruz's single off Brian Sweeney, Italy's third pitcher used in the seventh, scored Robinson Cano with the go-ahead run, prompting the entire Dominican bench to leap out of the dugout.
The hard-fought, emotional win improved the Dominican Republic to 4-0 in the Classic and put it in prime position in the double-elimination second round. The Dominicans will face Team USA -- 7-1 winners Tuesday against Puerto Rico -- on Thursday night at 7 ET on MLB Network and ESPN Deportes.
"Whenever you go against a team between the two white lines, you don't know what you're going to get," Dominican manager Tony Pena said. "This has to be the toughest game that we have played in the WBC."
A majority of the 14,482 at Marlins Park were rooting for the Dominican Republic. But until the seventh, Italian starter Tiago Da Silva mostly silenced the star-studded squad.
"What I'm asking from my guys is to leave it all out on the field," Italian manager Marco Mazzieri said. "We did that today. Actually, I was saying, 'Let's look at scoreboard at the end.' Unluckily today, the scoreboard was not on our side."
Cano and Jose Reyes each hit solo homers off Da Silva, who gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings.
"Our team never lowered our heads," said Reyes, who was 2-for-5 with two runs scored.
Cano made an impact in the middle of the order, going 3-for-4 with a double, homer and two runs scored.
"It's difficult to begin 4-0," the Yankees' All-Star second baseman said. "But the great energy on our team -- we never gave up."
The Dominicans out-hit Italy, 10-4, and they were able to break through with their three-run seventh inning.
Reyes started the rally with a one-out single off Pat Venditte. Erick Aybar followed with a single, and Cano was credited with a single on a soft fly ball to short left field. In spacious Marlins Park, left fielder Michael Costanzo was playing deep, and he was unable to make up ground. Shortstop Anthony Granato raced back and got his glove on the ball, but fell in, loading the bases.
Reliever Luca Panerati replaced Venditte and walked Edwin Encarnacion on four pitches, forcing in a run. In came Sweeney, who yielded a Hanley Ramirez sacrifice fly to center, pulling the Dominican Republic even at 4.
The intensity of the game was evident from the first inning. The underdog Italian team repeatedly gave all-out hustle on even the most routine plays. It almost led to an incident with Cano at second base. Three different innings ended with Cano making force outs at second. All three times, Italy's baserunners slid hard into the bag, clipping Cano's leg.
Cano became fed up after Nick Punto made contact on a slide in the seventh.
"Yeah, I was upset, because it was the third time in the game," Cano said. "I don't care if you slide in on a double play, but when it's a force out at second base, the last thing you want is to get hurt like that. They're passing the base."
Italian hitting coach Mike Piazza responded: "You never take anything for granted in this game. There is a difference between hard baseball and dirty baseball. If he bobbles the ball, and we're not running hard, and we're out, that's not good baseball. You have to put your effort into being safe."
Grinding out at-bats helped Italy take a four-run lead in the first inning, powered by Chris Colabello's three-run homer off Dominican starter Edinson Volquez.
Volquez regrouped and threw 4 1/3 innings, striking out three. But he was hurt by four walks.
"He wanted to do so good, that he found himself in trouble," Pena said. "After the first inning, he did a great job settling down and keeping us in the ballgame."
The Dominican Republic, winner of Pool C, entered Round 2 after a dominating performance in the first round in Puerto Rico. In its first three games, it scored 19 runs on 34 hits.
The pitching was equally impressive, combining for a 2.67 ERA.
But what transpired in Puerto Rico didn't carry over to Miami, at least it didn't in the first inning.
Volquez walked the first three batters he faced -- Punto, Chris Denorfia and Anthony Rizzo. Of his first 13 pitches, 12 were balls.
Alex Liddi's sacrifice fly to right put Italy on the board, and designated hitter Colabello made it a big inning with his three-run homer.
The 29-year-old Colabello is in the Twins' Minor League system, and he's enjoying a memorable Classic. He had a four-RBI game, including a three-run homer, on Friday in Italy's 14-4 win over Canada in Phoenix.
But after Colabello's long ball, Volquez didn't allow another hit until the fifth inning.
From that point, the Dominican Republic chipped back on Reyes' homer in the third inning and Cano's blast in the sixth, setting the stage for the game-turning seventh.
"They kept talking in the dugout, 'Hold it right there, we're going to come back and win the game,'" Pena said.

Drug cocktail could help parasite victims: study
By Peter Apps
LONDON (Reuters) - Using a cocktail of drugs may help doctors more effectively treat three of the world's most common parasitic diseases, researchers working in Zanzibar reported on Wednesday.
The drugs treat elephantiasis -- also known as lymphatic filariasis -- soil-transmitted worms and schistosomiasis. All the treatments are known to be effective but the impact of delivering them all at once was not known.
"Nearly all sub-Saharan African countries are affected by one or more of these diseases," said Albis Gabrielli, a medical officer specializing in neglected diseases at the World Health Organization (WHO).
"An important characteristic of these diseases is that they often co-exist in the same person. That is why this research is so important," Gabrielli said in a telephone interview.
The WHO has long recommended the coordinated delivery of drugs to tackle neglected tropical diseases, but the number of treatments has so far been limited to two because of safety concerns over potential side-effects.
But the study published in the Public Library of Science journal "PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases" showed that the drugs ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel could safely be used together.
The findings spurred the researchers to urge WHO to quickly recommend all three as a simultaneous treatment for the diseases, which affect tens of million of people across the developing world, notably in sub-Saharan Africa.
The three diseases are rarely fatal but can scar and disable people. The drugs can kill some or all of the parasites, providing at least a partial recovery.
The study began with 5,055 children and adults in Zanzibar, which lies in the Indian Ocean off the coast of east Africa's Tanzania.
Researchers made the study country-wide after determining there were no severe side effects from administering the three drugs simultaneously.
The researchers said the results brought a change in the WHO guidelines much closer, though the body was cautious.
"We are not yet in a position to make a clear recommendation," said WHO medical officer Francesco Rio. "The results of the study - if they are confirmed by other studies - mean that three drugs can be given together."
Merck & Co developed ivermectin, or Mectizan, also used to treat river blindness. Merck also sells praziquantel as Cesol. GlaxoSmithKline Plc makes albendazole, used to treat elephantiasis.
