Synthesis of New Derivatives of Heterocyclic Compounds Containing Pyridine, Pyrimidine and Triazole Ortho-Fused to Isoquinoline Moiety
4-Amino-9,10-dimethoxy-2-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-2(H)-pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1,3-dicarbonitrile derivatives 4a-c were obtained from the reaction of 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoqinoline-1-acetonitrile 1 with arylidenemalononitrile 2a-c in boiling acetonitile in the presence of piperidine. The reaction of 4a-c with triethyl orthoformate in acetic anhydride at reflux give the ethoxymethyleneamino derivatives 5a-c. Compounds 5a-c were reacted with hydrazine hydrate and give the corresponding 4-amino-3-imino-2-aryl-3,4,8,9-tetrahydro-2(H)-pyrimido[5?,4?:5,6]pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile derivatives 6a-c. Refluxing compound 6a in an excess of triethyl orthoformate give 7a. When compounds 6a-c were refluxed with acetic anhydride or benzoyl chloride in pyridine, they afford the corresponding 4-methyl and 4-phenyl derivatives 8a-c and 9a-c, respectively. Compound 6a was refluxed in diethyloxalate and give product 10. Also, the reaction of 6a with C-acylhydrazonoyl halides 13a,b in refluxing chloroform in the presence of triethylamine afford 14a,b. Correct elemental analyses and spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS) confirm the structure of the synthesized compounds.

During the 2012 IUCN Red List updates, IUCN Red List assessments of all endemic grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets (Orthoptera) of the Canary Islands and the Seychelles have been published. These assessments provide valuable information about the status of these insects and their threats.
Orthoptera are not only known for their diverse songs, providing aesthetic pleasure, they also play an important role as food for many endangered birds, lizards and mammals. Moreover, they are important indicators of land use change and many species occur only in very small geographic ranges, serving as indicators for biodiversity hotspots.
The recent assessments show that island-endemic Orthoptera are highly threatened: 41% of the 34 species endemic to the Canary Islands and even 70% of the 37 Seychelles endemics are listed on one of the IUCN Red List categories. However the threats to both island faunas vary considerably. Grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets on the Seychelles are mainly threatened by invasions of non-native plants in forest habitats and by climate change, particularly the rising sea levels that affect species which are confined to coastal habitats. By contrast, the Orthoptera endemic to coastal habitats of the Canary Islands are mainly threatened by the touristic and industrial development (such as the La Palma Stick Grasshopper or the Tenerife Sand Grasshopper), while montane species are threatened by the increasing wildfire frequencies.
During the next year, two new projects of the IUCN/SSC Grasshopper Specialist Group are aiming at collecting more information on some highly threatened insect species. One aim is to rediscover two endemic species which have not been found since several decades, the Gran Canaria Bush-Cricket (Evergoderes cabrerai) and the Short-Winged Seychelles Groundhopper (Procytettix fusiformis). Another aim is to study the habitat preferences of these and other threatened species in order to develop suitable conservation measures.

PLANO — The Southern California specialty grocery store Trader Joe's is ready to open in Plano at 8 a.m. Friday, with Two-Buck Chuck and Joe-Joe's cookies already on the shelves.
In a Thursday morning store walkthrough, Trader Joe's employees called "crew members" were calmly stocking remaining items for Friday's big opening. The store is North Texas' second Trader Joe's; the first opened in Fort Worth in June.
Trader Joe's shoppers are expected to line up before the sun rises on Friday, said Don O'Connor, the "captain" of the store who chose to transplant from California to Texas to helm the Plano store. Trader Joe's entry into Texas has evoked both confusion and excitement among DFW shoppers.
"It has a bit of a cult following," said Jon Battle, a Plano resident who plans on visiting the new Plano store Friday morning. "You either get it, or you don't. I get it."
Battle used to work at Central Market in Plano as a "foodie" – a store employee who helped shoppers find special items and offered samples. He plans to snatch up Trader Joe's Mac 'N Cheese on Friday, a frozen item for $2.99 that O'Connor said is a regular favorite.
The 14,000 square-foot store on the northeast corner of Park and Preston in Plano resembles most other Trader Joe's, with a special produce section, cooking demo area, frozen aisle, and wine area. About 80 percent of the store's labels are Trader Joe's brand, lauded for carrying no artificial flavors or colors and no preservatives.
At the same intersection in Plano, shoppers will find a Whole Foods Market and a Market Street. "We just hope to add to the grocery store landscape in Plano," O'Connor said. "And, we know there are a lot of foodies here."
A new items section in a back corner of the store shows special food the company has just brought under its brand. "Our buyers travel the culinary seas to find new and unique items," O'Connor said. The store also has artisan bread that is locally sourced and delivered to the store seven days a week, though they do not disclose the names of their bakeries.
The Trader Joe's brand includes items that can't be found elsewhere, like Cookie Butter – a spread that tastes like cookies and can be used on pancakes or ice cream. Frozen foods fall under quirky Trader Joe's sub-labels like Trader Giotto for Italian items and Trader Ming's for Chinese food. The Two-Buck Chuck – wine for $2.99 – is one of its biggest talkers, and the Plano store is stocked with dozens of cases.
Friday marks the opening of four Trader Joe's stores in the U.S.: Sarasota, Fla.; Foxborough, Mass.; Portsmouth/Newington, N.H.; and the Plano store. Trader Joe's has more than 370 stores in 34 states, with its 35th state – Utah – added before year's end.
Battle says after the crowds settle, the real joy of Trader Joe's is traipsing the aisles, stumbling upon interesting, unexpected food. "The prices are good, and for good quantity," Battle said. "I'll shop here regularly, because they have some things that only they have."
If you go: An avid Trader Joe's fan in Louisville, Ky., slept in a hammock strung between his car and a tree the night before his local store opened in October 2011. In Fort Worth, patrons lined up as early as 5:30 a.m. for the 8 a.m. opening. Crew members at the Trader Joe's expect early lines, but even if you arrive before sunup on Friday, doors will not open before 8 a.m., said the store captain.

Pete's Perspective Episode 8: Pete's Wrath
So whats Pete so pissed about? Im glad you asked. (If you didnt, just pretend.)
As many of you who are regular readers probably know, Rockstar Games unveiled a new game this week, called Bully. Bully is said to take place in a reform school known as Bullworth Academy and is said to contain elements like trying to gain the affections of the opposite sex, dealing with teachers who pick on you, playing pranks on other kids and, of course, dealing with bullies.
OK whats the problem here? Perhaps the school setting for a game from Rockstar is a bit questionable, especially if you consider the alleged link between video games and school violence. Still, we dont know anything. We dont have an ESRB rating. We dont know the specifics of the game, such as how violent it will be. We havent even seen screenshots of the game yetthose will come at E3.
Enter Atty. Jack Thompson, self-proclaimed anti-violent video game advocate. Perhaps youre heard of Atty. Thompson he was featured prominently on CBS 60 Minutes news program several weeks ago, decrying the Grand Theft Auto series; now, hes got his sights set on Rockstar once again.
It seems that our Atty. Thompson has allegedly been privy to more of Bullys content than any of us in the media have been. In a press release that Atty. Thompson distributed, he claims that a deep industry source told him that Bully will pit rival gangs against each other in a virtual reality school where they can mercilessly beat and harm one another, turning virtual schools into cauldrons of chaos.
Thats deep, Counselor. Very deep. Cauldrons of chaos, you say?
I suppose that Atty. Thompsons deep industry source could be right, but those in the know are also aware of another Rockstar project called The Warriors, which is based on the 1979 Paramount film of the same name. The Warriors is all about pitting rival gangs against each other. Is it possible that two Rockstar games could involve gang warfare? Yes. Is it likely? Im not so certain.
Other excerpts from Atty. Thompsons press release just pissed me off especially this: If the video game industry is allowed, unchecked, to continue to raise our children, then at this pace pretty soon No Child Left Behind will morph into No Child Left Alive. Why is this the fault of the video game industry, Atty. Thompson? Where are the parents? Oh, thats right. In this country, we dont blame children for the crimes that they willingly commit, and we dont chastise the parents. Instead, weve become very good at finding applicable scapegoats to take our frustrations out on. Why hold little Jimmy responsible for his wrongdoings or attempt to make his parents accountable for what games he plays, when its far easier to try and censor games that dont have content suitable for youngsters? Am I right? After all, censorship is what Atty. Thompson seems to be good at; back in 1992, he was named one of the top ten censors of that year by the ACLU. Thats quite a feat.
I draw the line here. I am a taxpayer and I have the right to play whatever game I want to play. You dont see me shooting at people or ripping out their spinal cords. You dont see most other gamers engage in this type of behavior, either especially adults who cannot hide behind a video game to escape from their personal responsibility when they commit crimes.
So, then, it boils down to kidsor minors, more specifically. Frankly, I believe that the industry is doing their part to keep questionable games out of the hands of minors. The ESRB rating is very clear, and retailers are generally doing a decent job of making sure that M-rated games arent sold to minors directly. I suppose that theres always room for improvement; and Ive gone on record in the past to say that Im in favor of some sort of legislation that makes the sales of said games to minors subject to fines or even retail license revocation in repeated instances. However, retailers cant deny the sale of Bully to a parent who buys the game for his or her son, just to make him happy (and maybe even get him to stop being a pest). At some point, parents simply must assume some sort of responsibility in this; if they dont, I guarantee that this issue will worsen and it shouldnt.
Yes, Im calling out parents here. I understand that times are tough, especially if youre in a single-parent situation or if you both have to work 40+ hours to make ends meet. I sympathize with your plight; however, you are ultimately responsible for monitoring what games your children play. Theres no way around it. Learn what the ESRB ratings are and what they mean. Make an extra effort to look through your childrens game collection and see what they play. Talk about it over a meal, or maybe while in the car. See what they play away from home, while at a friends house. Lastly, use the internet and sites like ours for guidance. Use our message boards and ask questions, or even e-mail us. Its time to stop shunting responsibility and passing the blame around. You can do it. I have faith in you, and Im not alone.
Whats becoming increasingly apparent is that kids are ultimately going to ruin things for themselves. Instead of going through the proper channels and attempting to understand why certain games might not be meant for them, kids today seem to have that I want it now and Im going to play it now mentality, as if they deserve the world on a silver platter because theyre kids. Kids dont understand age limits, especially now that they have cell phones, PDAs, credit cards, and seemingly everything else that their adult brethren have. Its like they get the rights of adults without the responsibility sometimes, and blaming a video game for killing another person or stealing a car is just too convenient. Personally, I view this as a societal problemkids should be treated as kids. Weve gone too far now, though, and we could ultimately be looking at situations where the words illegal to play under 18 appear on some game cases. Thats a damned shame.
As you can see, despite the industrys best efforts to try and keep M-rated games out of the hands of minors, theres a certain amount of blame that can be directed at parents and kids which ambulance chasers like Atty. Thompson casually gloss over. Censorship is not the only solution; in fact, its not a solution at all. Its a matter of taking responsibility, and perhaps thats a word that all of us need to take to heart more often.
Now that Ive gotten that out of my system, its time for this weeks Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down lets get to it:
Thumbs Up: Id like to give a hearty two thumbs up to our PSX Extreme crew as they make final preparations for their trip to Los Angeles to cover E3. Although many of us wish we were going with them, believe me when I tell you that its a lot more work than it is fun. While Ill be posting press release news and other goodies as I receive them, these folks will be providing images and hands-on impressions which will make you feel like youre there. (By the way, I want my E3 goodie bag this year. No pressure.)
Thumbs Down: Its not Sony-related, but if you wasted 30 minutes to watch that MTV special on the unveiling of Microsofts XBOX360 on Thursday night, write a letter to Viacom to demand that time back. Aside from being aurally beaten to death by The Killers, viewers were visually assaulted by ADD-influenced MTV programming at its very worst. Of the 22 minutes that werent commercials, perhaps 10 of those could have been considered somewhat relevant. There were a few game trailers, most of which were unimpressive, and way too much Elijah Wood. God, I hate him now.
Thats it for this week. Please note that Episode 9 will be delayed until Sunday (May 22nd) so that we can wrap up our E3 coverage. Needless to say, Ill have my own spin on the event and you wont want to miss it. Until then may the Force be with you. (Midnight showing, baby!)

Information for the Homeowner
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is the name of a group of naturally occurring minerals whose crystals form into long, thin fibers. It has been used in thousands of products because of its unique properties such as high tensile strength, flexibility, acoustical properties, and resistance to thermal, chemical, and electrical conditions. If inhaled, asbestos can cause diseases such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. Symptoms of these diseases generally do not appear for 10 to 30 years after exposure. There is no safe level of exposure known. Asbestos is only dangerous when its deteriorated to the point where the microscopic asbestos fibers can be released into the air and inhaled.
What common products contain asbestos?
Asbestos has been used in over 3,600 different building products including spray-on ceiling and wall texture, fireproofing, plaster, pipe coverings, floor tile, ceiling tile, roofing felt, concrete pipes and exterior siding.
How do I know if I have asbestos in my home?
Asbestos in materials can only be identified by using a microscope. Samples of a suspect material can be taken by the homeowner, but precautions should be followed. The material should be lightly wetted before sampling; place the material in a sample container or small zip lock bag; tightly seal and label before sending the sample to a laboratory for analysis. For a list of laboratories that perform analysis, please contact the Department.
What do I do if I find asbestos in my home?
Asbestos-containing material that is in good condition and is not disturbed usually does not present a problem. However, if the material will be disturbed or is not in good condition, it is not generally recommended that a homeowner remove the material themselves; this is best done by a trained asbestos contractor.
Questions should be directed to the ND Department of Health at 701.476.4122 or 701.328.5188.

Healthcare triumph gives way to heightened battle
The Los Angeles Times, 15 October 2009
Publié le :
15 octobre 2009
Noam N. Levey
"Reporting from Washington - The battle over healthcare entered a new, more frenzied stage Wednesday, as lawmakers and powerful interest groups jockeyed for advantage now that most believe some form of an overhaul will ultimately be signed into law. "The Senate Finance Committee's passage Tuesday of a sweeping healthcare bill -- with the support of all of its Democratic members, plus Republican Olympia J. Snowe of Maine -- offered powerful evidence that a moderate legislative blueprint can command a majority in the Senate with at least token GOP support. Passage of a major bill by the House also is considered increasingly likely. "But that success has spawned a furious scramble among insurers, labor unions and others to protect their interests in the weeks before the House and Senate begin voting on their final healthcare bills. The maneuvering increasingly has turned into a zero-sum game among groups that for much of the year had appeared to work together to advance the healthcare overhaul. Now, any financial gain by one group will likely correspond with losses by the others."

Jennifer Lopez seems to do it all, but the multi-hyphenate superstar says mom is the only job that really matters to her.
When J.Lo said goodbye to American Idol, she admitted it had a lot to do with her 4-year-old twins, Emme and Max. The singer recently told MTV News, that her kids are definitely the most important part of her life and she wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that.
"Mommy. It's just the one thing you don't want to mess up," she said. "You can mess up in all other areas and get back up, but you don't want to mess up there."
While Jennifer is star everywhere else in the world, she's just plain mom at home. In fact, it's only recently that she was able to win her little boy over.
"You know, my daughter gets very excited [when I perform] and then my son says nothing," she said. "But then, like, we'll be in the car randomly, and yesterday he says to me, 'Mommy you're a great singer.' And I was like, 'Thank you, baby.' No fanfare with it … just matter-of-factly, 'I think you're good.' And of course, that made my day."
Jennifer, who just celebrated her 43rd birthday on July 24, is currently on tour with Enrique Iglesias and just released a collection of her greatest songs, Dance Again…The Hits. Her latest song off this compilation, "Goin' In," is a dancetastic number that is also featured on the Step Up Revolution soundtrack.
Watch J.Lo show off some classic Fly Girl moves in the video for that song below.

[Intro: Marcus Manchild]
You know what I'm saying?
Niggas don't understand why
What you mean, nigga, why the fuck I pop pills?
Because I want to get away from this motherfucking world
Why I smoke is cause I want to space out
Why the fuck I drink?
Nigga, I drink cause I don't want to feel shit, nigga
Nigga, do you know what I go through on a everyday basis, nigga?
You see the bright lights, you see the fame, you see me at night shining
In the daytime, I'm still a regular nigga
Still walk in the same shoes as y'all, you know what I'm saying?
What you know about dropping out of school and not having no future?
Nigga, my future is this rap shit
So I gotta do it
[Verse 1: Marcus Manchild]
I got a ten month old I gotta look out for
And gotta be here to take care of
It ain't fair cause it ain't her father
She on earth but she don't really know
That her daddy don't make that much
What you think that does to a nigga confidence
Especially when knowing that I gotta be that rock
Just to provide in the night, then I'm committing suicide
Motherfucker, finna grab that gun
Blow my brains out, boom!
And I hope I don't wake up
Hope a nigga meet the maker
Just got a call from my girl saying that she want to break up
I hope it's no child support papers
No, I won't pay cause
Pushing it to the limit and trying to be the father that a nigga never had
I promised myself whenever that I grow up and I have my own kid
That I would be a better dad
I'm stranded
So I turn to bars cause
I got some problems and they feel like problem solvers
Though I shouldn't do that, I'm fucking up my body at the same time
But please don't worry
Talk about the bright lights and the night life
But today I'm finna give y'all true stories
For real
[Hook: Marcus Manchild]
Problems after problems
Wonder why I'm on it
Popping pills, sipping liquor, every day smoking
My baby momma tripping, she say we need some bread
Lord, tell me why my uncle died, I need to clear my head
[Verse 2: Marcus Manchild]
Uncle Ryan gone, I'm thinking that I'm finna overdose
It's truth be told, my nigga, this is real life
It's like somebody straight killed my spirit
Even though it's part of living, man, it still don't feel right
It's like the day I got the call from Austin
I called up Boston, told him that I was lost, he said
"I know it's real bro, but, man, keep your head up"
But it's till I bring my nigga back from the dead
Feeling like I'm tripping but I'm not
My family envying when I call 'em, they act distant
Even though it's partially cause they thinking I'm Hollywood
When they had the funeral and I missed it
Not cause I wanted to
I couldn't see my uncle laying up there, suited up in a casket
Too drastic, made up in plastic
That's something that a nigga can't have, shit
[Pre-Hook: Marcus Manchild]
I got some problems
And that Ciroc is smelling like the problem solver
Even though I shouldn't drink every day
I'm fucking up my body but I can't feel the pain
It can't be sane
Cause when that happen, it don't feel the same because
[Verse 3: Bun B]
They say life is hard and life is fair
And life is real cause it's long and rough
You gotta be built for it or you get broke down
So don't even fuck around if you ain't strong enough
Catch you looking for light at the end of the tunnel
Can't see behind you, can't see in front of you
No bars on your phone and no pictures on your monitor
Now that's what that bullshit done done to you
Back against the wall, pressure bout to close in
Being real when these other niggas posing
I'm about to be disposing these hoes
When I put 'em on blast and I start exposing
Know that I'm chosen, one of the few
Staying on top -- at least, one up on you
And what you gon' do when that real shit run up on you
And you got no crew? For you gon' have problems
Marcus and Bun B team up for this tribute to hard times, dead relatives, and being better than you

I like Dakota but am once again disappointed that the author's character description was not followed. Seriously, how hard is it it make the characters look like the author's vision?

I agree with the other anon they should have stuck with the book and found someone else, not just Dakota because she's famous.

Patent snafus could delay new video codec
10 comments
SAN JOSE The H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard is about to be ratified, promising a new generation of higher resolution and more compact digital video products. The bad news is chip makers are afraid to design products using it.
Vendors may have filed as many as 500 patents relating to the H.265 HEVC technology. But so far just who owns what and how much they expect in royalties is unclear.
The current video codec, H.264, has been the basis of digital video products such as cameraphones and digital video recorders for eight years. Thanks to a patent pool created by the MPEG Licensing Authority, the licensing rate is said to be a flat 25 cents per chip maximum, capped at about $12 million per vendor. An overview of the group's licensing terms is available online.
Thats 40 million chips, but for cellphone chip vendors, thats not much volume, said an executive at one chip company who asked to remain anonymous.
The MPEG LA claims it is working on a follow on. We plan to begin facilitation of an H.265 patent pool this summer, said an MPEG LA spokesman.
But chip vendors say the group is having trouble getting support for the new pool. Some companies who have H.265-related patents including Mediatek and Qualcomm do not want to join the group but prefer collecting royalties on their own, said the semiconductor executive.
For its part, "Samsung has not made a final decision on its participation in the H.265 pool. However, we will actively take part in MPEG-LA's call for patents essential to the HEVC," said a company spokesperson.
The scenario is already playing out in other areas. Via Licensing recently said it will have this fall a 20-company patent pool for Long Term Evolution, the dominant 4G cellular technology. However, big patent holders including Ericsson, Nokia and Qualcomm are said to not be participating in the pool.
Chip makers expect the H.265 HEVC standard could be ratified within two months. That would open the door for them to start taping out their chip designsif the royalty situation is clear.
HEVC has so many patent holders and some of them say they will not be part of the pool but want to collect royalties themselves, said the chip exec. If say 20 people all want to collect royalties it will kill the standardwe need a fixed cost, it cannot be variable, he added.
People hate paying MPEG LA, but they were the only ones to collect royalties on H.264, so at least the business model was simple and clean, said the source.
H.265 HEVC is expected to offer 30 to 50 percent boosts in compression efficiency over todays codecs, lowering the bit rate needed to support quality video transmissions. The technology could be a big enabler for a new generation of compact, wearable cameras. It will also enable a new generation of 4K resolution TVs and monitors.
Engineers envision wearable cameras the size of postage stamps. The lower bit rates of H.265 HEVC could enable such cameras more easily to send video wirelessly so their output could be monitored on remote smartphones or PCs and tablets via cloud services
Thus the standard is very important for us, we will enable it as soon as possible, said the chip exec. I think 4K TVs and monitors are coming on strong, and will be a reality in two years, he added.

It was a game that No. 8 seed Gunn (21-7) never led and, after the first period, could only get as close as six points. True to their character all year, the Titans never quit.
"I couldn't be more proud of this team for how they performed this year," said Gunn head coach Sarah Stapp. "From where we were in the middle of the season to how we finished was an incredible ride. They battled throughout with a determination that I'll always remember."
One Gunn player who embodied that spirit was senior Claire Klausner, who scored all 15 of her points in the second half. From the moment she stepped onto the court as a freshman to the final seconds of her final game, Klausner competed with desire and dedication and nearly willed Gunn back into a game that at times looked hopeless.
Gunn came out jittery in the first period as No. 12 Berkeley (21-11) scored the first nine points of the game while the Titans could only muster two Meghan Mahoney free throws as the Yellow Jackets led 9-2 at the end of one.
In the second period, the Yellow Jackets extended the lead to 18-7 on the hot shooting of Rachel Howard, who led all scorers with 27 points, including four 3-pointers. Gunn cut the lead to 20-14 on baskets by Nora Shevick and Emily Redfield, but Berkeley pushed it back up to 26-16 at half.
The second half started out well for the Titans as a basket by Klausner and two free throws by Sarah Klem cut the lead to 26-20. Gunn had an opportunity to cut the lead further but couldn't convert and the Lady Jackets went on a 9-0 run keyed by a couple of big baskets by Howard to stretch the lead to 35-20.
After trading baskets and with the score 39-24, Gunn went on a 11-2 run that included a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Zoe Zwerling to make it 39-28 going into the final period. Zwerling then added two free throws at the end of the run to cut the score to 41-35 with 5:20 remaining.
However, every time Berkeley needed a basket it got one and two quick baskets pushed the lead back up to 10 to dampen the Gunn rally.
With 2:59 to go, Olivia Tapia made two free throws to make it 45-37 but Howard answered with her final trey to put Berkeley up by 11.
Trailing 50-39 with two minutes left, Gunn went on a 7-2 run as Klausner hit a trey and then made a layup with 40 seconds to go to cut the score to 52-46.
After a missed free throw by Berkeley, Gunn had one final chance but Tapia's 3-pointer with 20 seconds left just missed the mark and Berkeley's Jaimonie Welch-Coleman made two free throws for the final points of the game.
Gunn was led by Klausner's 15 points, followed by seven from Redfield, six from both Klem and Mahoney, five apiece by Zwerling and Tapia and two from Shevick.
As the game ended the appreciative Gunn crowd applauded the efforts of the Titans, who went further than many thought they would.
The game marked the end for Klausner, Shevick, Klem, Redfield, Karissa Ogawa and Isabel Juang. They leave as the most-decorated seniors to ever play for Gunn as they earned three trips to the Central Coast Section finals, won two section championships, made three appearances in the NorCal playoffs and advanced to the NorCal semifinals twice.
Gunn reached the semifinals with a big 45-41 upset of No. 1 seed Monte Vista in the quarterfinals last Saturday night in Danville.
"I couldn't be more proud of my girls," said an ecstatic Stapp after the game. "This might be my best win ever. What really made it great was the fantastic turnout by our fans, they made a difference."
While the game was played more than 50 miles away and Monte Vista had a sizable turnout, the energy level of the Gunn fans could be heard throughout the evening.
Gunn has played in many big games including last year's Central Coast Section final win over Palo Alto, but no game has come close to comparing to this battle with an athletic Monte Vista team that has had a long history of playoff success and who many considered to be the odds on favorite to represent Northern California in the CIF Division I state finale.
It was a game that the Titans led for more than 25 minutes and at one time had a 12-point lead over the stunned Mustangs and their faithful following. However, the Mustangs came back and took a lead with a little over a minute to go on a four-point play.
Klausner then put the Titans up for good with a three-pointer with 47 seconds to go and then Klem iced the game when she scored on a breakaway layup with 11 seconds left after a Monte Vista turnover.

My big trip starts next Friday morning!
A few years ago, at a campground, I found my ignition key on the ground. Did not even know I had lost it out of my pocket. Spare key was at home... Horseshoes you know where.
Since then, I wear a loop of string around my neck and the key goes there.
My trip will take me from Toronto to west coast via US and back via Canada, so I better take the spare.
Have a spare electronic key, alarm dongle, and a flat plastic key.
What to take? Where to keep it (them)?
What do you do?

When I previously wore this crochet ring as a necklace I mentioned it would make an appearance as a ring in the future. Hier is het! I'm feeling kind of gross today so it's just a lazy jeans and tee kind of day but the ring adds a little style.

Haak Detail
My hair could benefit from a comb today but I love the ring! I actually found this circle already made in a lot of crochet thread I'd purchased and decided to attach it to a ring I already had.

Ja, I do realize the socks don't match the ring. They'll be covered with black sneakers when I go out. :)

MORE ARMY: Announcements | Live blog | Full coverage
SAN ANTONIO - The landscape of college football recruiting could be changing, quickly.
According the players at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, the student-athlete may be making a triumphant return.
Tommy Schutt, a four-star defensive tackle from Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard West, says that with the arms race to improve facilities and spruce up uniforms across college football leveling off, the focus on academics seems to be on the rise.
"Most everywhere now has good facilities," he said. "I like to talk about academics."
Schutt has had an interesting recruitment path committing to Notre Dame, Penn State, and Ohio State over an eight-month period. All three have good academics as well as state-of-the-art facilities.
He is not alone in his thinking.
"Of course I want to go to a place with good equipment," Jonathan Bullard said. "But there isn't enough of a difference from one place to another anymore to make that big of a difference."
Bullard, a five-star defensive end from Shelby (N.C.) Crest, is scheduled to make his college declaration during the broadcast of Saturday's game. He said prospects need to do their homework before committing - both figuratively and literally.
"The support staff is big," he said. "You have to look into everything and don't just take someone's word for it."
Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy offensive lineman Graham Shuler said academics played a big part of his commitment.
He is headed to Stanford - a school with a recent upgrade in its stadium and a strong tradition of academics.
"That is a great education to get," he said. "If I redshirt and they pay for my school for five years that means I can work on an advanced degree."
Such a perspective was refreshing to hear in this age entitlement and NFL dreams.
Florida State commit Justin Shanks said that Seminole position coach Odell Haggins won him over with a successful history of academics.
Click Here to view this Link.
"(Coach Haggins) told me that he had been at the school for 19 years and took academics seriously," Shanks said. "He told me that he had graduated 89 percent of the players he had. That was really big for me."
The most recent NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) numbers released reflect the interest in academics as the GSR across the country rose above 80 percent cumulatively.
Denver (Colo.) Mullen quarterback Cyler Miles was paying attention to that when he committed to Washington.
"Academics are too important," he said. "When I was looking for a school it was one of my main focuses. The academic support system on an individual basis was key."
Smart kid.

An Egg Scramble! (Japanese: ジョウトフェスタ! チコリータとワニノコ登場!! Jōto Festa! Enter Chicorita and Waninoko!!) is the 143rd episode of the Diamond & Pearl series, and the 609th episode of the Pokémon anime.

|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
As Ash and his friends walk through a village, both Ash and Dawn complain of hunger. As they look for a place to have lunch, Ash spots a Marill stuck between two buildings. Pikachu and Piplup struggle to pull it out, but Marill eventually uses Water Gun to force itself out. Brock checks it as Dawn scans with her Pokédex. A girl runs up and claims the Marill as hers, recalling it to its Poké Ball. She introduces herself as Lyra as Ash and his friends make their introductions. Lyra notices Dawn's Piplup and scans it with her own Pokédex. She reveals that her Pokédex is a brand-new Johto model, the same region she is from, and that the Johto Festival is commencing. She calls Dawn Dane before they set off.
At the center of the village, the festival is in full gear as a phone rings. Lyra pulls out a new type of Pokégear that Ash doesn't recognize and answers it, talking to her friend Khoury. She talks about the festival, how it travels throughout other regions to promote Johto. A recording of Lyra hosting a documentary appears on the screen, the documentary talking about Johto's features, touching on Ecruteak City, its Burned Tower and the Kimono Girls, bringing back Ash's memories (and Brock's of the girls) of his previous travels throughout the Johto region. The presentation continues with Goldenrod City, the Glitter Lighthouse in Olivine City and its Ampharos. It rounds up with Johto's final Gym Leader in Blackthorn City, Dragon-type specialist Clair of Blackthorn Gym. The presentation ends with Lyra hoping that the viewer visits the land of Johto soon. Lyra leads them to a MooMoo Milk stand that her friend Khoury runs. Dawn notices a Totodile behind the counter and scans it. Piplup and Pikachu try to meet, but Totodile doesn't respond to the friend request, about as well as with its Pokémon food that Khoury made. Brock samples it and says that it is too sweet, asking for Chesto Berries. Brock grinds up some Berries into powder with a mortar and pestle, then adds it to the food, which makes it more appealing to Totodile and allows it to chow down. As Brock offers to give him a recipe, Khoury's father offers the group soft serve ice cream made from MooMoo Milk, which they love. Lyra introduces the group to Khoury, a Pokémon Breeder, and his father, the man responsible for running the festival. Ash and Lyra share their experiences throughout Sinnoh and Johto Gyms respectively, Ash with seven Badges and Lyra with the first two. Dawn mentions that she is a Coordinator, the first one Lyra has met in person, as Khoury's Totodile jumps on his shoulder, hinting that the exhibition of the Johto Pokémon is about to start.
While Team Rocket chows down on food, Lyra starts the exhibition. She discusses the three Johto starter Pokémon on the screen before bringing out her Chikorita. Lyra calls Dawn up to the field to battle Chikorita with Piplup. The crowd applauds as she accepts, stepping up to the platform. Lyra reveals that if Dawn wins, Lyra will give her a prize. Piplup jumps to battle, even though Chikorita has a type advantage. Khoury's father starts the battle as Chikorita hits with Razor Leaf. Piplup rebounds and fires BubbleBeam, but a Light Screen blocks it. Piplup charges with Peck and hits before following up with another BubbleBeam. Another Light Screen blocks it, but it is clearly weaker. Another Peck attack breaks the shield and knocks out Chikorita, giving Dawn the win. Khoury was impressed by the strategy as Lyra recalls Chikorita. Lyra presents Dawn with a wrapped box, her prize. Dawn opens it and finds a Pokémon Egg in an Egg case. As they wonder what is inside the Egg, Team Rocket suddenly appears in their balloon, packed up with food from the festival. Meowth steals Dawn's Egg with a mecha arm. They proceed to escape, but they run into a tree and puncture their balloon, sending them crashing away from the village in the forest. Ash and his friends pursue, and Lyra does too, but she has to convince Khoury to go too.
At the crash site, Jessie eats almost all the food (causing her belly to become swollen, in true anime fashion) as they turn to the Egg. James theorizes that it holds a legendary Pokémon, each one coming up with an idea. A Teddiursa sneaks up and starts eating their food. Jessie scolds it and makes it cry, causing its parent Ursaring to attack them with Hyper Beam. Team Rocket runs away with the Ursaring in hot pursuit.
Ash and his friends find the deserted crash site as Lyra tries to motivate Khoury to be more brave. The guys and the girls split off to search as Ash sends Staraptor to scout. Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to run. Jessie trips and loses the Egg. James and Meowth go after it while Jessie flees from Ursaring. Meowth and James reclaim it and try to meet up with Jessie. Ash and the guys spot James and follow. As James walks, he notices the Egg flashing, indicating it is close to hatching. Staraptor has also spotted James, and Khoury phones Lyra to coordinate a meet. Using Marill and Totodile's Water Gun attacks, they are able to pursue James. When the guys catch up with James, the girls cut him off. Surrounded, James sends out Carnivine. Khoury proceeds to check Carnivine with his Pokédex at a bad moment. Carnivine fires Bullet Seed to suppress the guys, but Totodile sneaks up and takes the Egg back. Pikachu and Piplup attack with BubbleBeam and Thunderbolt before a twin Water Gun attack from Marill and Totodile sends James and Meowth off. Dawn reclaims her Egg and notes it is close to hatching.
James and Meowth land and meet up with Jessie (whose stomach has instantly reverted to normal, also in true anime fashion), when they are then surrounded by many Ursaring. Back at the village, Lyra convinces Khoury's father to allow her to go attend the upcoming Contest, while Khoury wants to learn from Brock. He agrees to let Lyra and Khoury go with Ash and his friends for a while. Dawn's Egg fully glows as she brings it out of the case, revealing her new Cyndaquil. Dawn picks up Cyndaquil, as it shows affection by lighting its back fire, torching Dawn's hair. Everyone laughs as they decide to travel together.

If you've lived in Marion County for six months or more, you've most likely heard about the once-lost Fort King. Its location was shrouded in the mists of time until a few years ago, when its exact site was again discovered.
If you've lived in Beautiful Marion County for six months or more, you've most likely heard about the once-lost Fort King. Its location was shrouded in the mists of time until a few years ago, when its exact site was again discovered.
Fort King was a lonely outpost for early settlers to the area, at a time when one had to be wary of hostile attacks from the indigenous residents, who apparently could — and did — get quite upset at trespassers invading their lands.
The Marion County Museum of History and Archaeology will present a free presentation on "The Fort King Site" by archaeologist Gary Ellis on Sunday at 2 p.m. at Green Clover Hall in the McPherson Governmental Complex. Green Clover Hall is next door to the museum, which is at 307 SE 26th Terrace, Ocala. After the presentation, attendees will gather at the museum for social activities and refreshments.
The public is invited to attend. Anyone interested in the early history of the county will surely find this program to be of interest. You can get more information by calling 236-5245 or 236-2790.
And if you go, be sure to tell 'em Emory sent you!
MEDICAL INFO: Not long ago, I wrote about putting all your pertinent medical information on a USB drive and carrying it with you just in case something untoward happened and the information was needed by medical personnel. You can also buy a bracelet or a necklace at some drug stores that offers the same convenience.
Jeanie Smith, Spruce Creek Preserve, wrote: "I read your column all the time and look forward to it. You mentioned a drive to put your medical info in. I have another source. For anyone having an iPhone, there is an app called My Medical. More than one person can have their info in it. Since my iPhone is always with me, so is my medical info."
Jeanie, that's an excellent idea. But I wonder if paramedics bother to check smart phones when they encounter a patient?
Carol Durham, Ocala, wrote: "Every year I consider stopping my daily paper to better balance the budget, and every year I find something I would not have known about but for you. My life is a hermit's life due to cancer and immune issues, so being out and about isn't on my list. Not complaining, mind you — I was given two years and I'm working on year number eight now.
"Because of you I've developed the pity party policy. You're allowed 15-30 minutes a day for the party, then you need to take whatever drug makes it all better and go out and do a few RAKs (Random Acts of Kindness).
"It's gotten me through my medical issues, my husband's death and a bunch of other 'fun' things that being a senior throws at you.
"People know my bald head and the fact that my car sports eyelashes (since I don't). I don't live in any of the fancy developments — just the country, with my cat and my dog and my neighbor training horses in my backyard.
"It's a good life, and now that I just ordered four of those medical bracelets for Christmas presents (besides myself, of course) I think I'll just renew our little paper another year. Kudos to my paper carrier as well — he/she does a great job."
Michael Leers, Ocala, wrote: "I am so sorry to hear of DB's medical situation. I hope she gets better soon and the frequent doctor visits can be minimized. I've been taking care of a few elderly neighbors this past year and have become quite familiar with the frequency of doctor visits and the information needed at each one. Your advice regarding putting the information on a thumb drive is very good, and it's something I'll have to implement for them. Keeping track of the times and days for seeing a given doctor is challenging, at times, especially when scheduling follow-up appointments. Thanks for relating this idea."
You're quite welcome, Michael, and thank you for your concern … and your RAKs!
SOMETHING DIFFERENT: We don't use too many Internet links here anymore, but every now and then one comes along that just cannot be ignored. Ace guitarist Ron Malpass sent me a link to a video that is pretty amazing to watch. It's almost eight minutes long, but it's definitely worth watching — especially the ending, which is quite astonishing! You can see it at: http://tinyurl.com/cyrtgmk.
