More than a year after the Costa Concordia capsized off Italy, one big question still haunts survivor Michelle Barraclough: Why were no clear instructions given during the emergency?
"The crew had no idea what to do," the Australian woman wrote on a blog posted soon after the wreck, "and the order to evacuate took [way] too long."
The ship trembled and lights went out some time after the vessel struck a rock about 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 13, 2012. Passengers said they were told the problem was electrical, according to news accounts.
But the plates and glasses that started flying across the dining room told another story. Trying to perform a sail-by salute to the Italian island of Giglio, the Concordia suffered a long gash in the hull, flooding its six engines in a matter of minutes and sending it on a deadly roll onto its side into shallow water. The first alarm sounded about 10:30 p.m., the Associated Press reported. Passengers told the AP that the evacuation order came more than an hour after impact.
Of the 3,200 passengers and 1,000 crew on the Concordia, 32 people died.
The tragedy raised fresh questions about safety at sea and who regulates cruise lines, which carried 16 million passengers worldwide in 2011.
"The stigma, as far as the safety part of this goes, is going to take awhile to erase completely," said Carolyn Spencer Brown, editor of the online travel website CruiseCritic.com.
That will be difficult as long as the Concordia remains where it is: The ship is still trapped where it capsized. As much as $400 million is being spent to salvage the wreck, but the work has been delayed until fall.
The fate of Capt. Francesco Schettino and eight others remains in the hands of Italian courts, which will decide in the spring whether they will be tried on criminal charges for their role in the disaster, the worst shipwreck in modern history.
Since the wreck, the cruise industry has introduced new policies to strengthen safety procedures that were much criticized in the aftermath. The industry also adopted procedures that address concerns about passenger muster drills, life jacket availability, bridge access and procedures, lifeboat training for crew members and more.
Christine Duffy, president and chief executive of Cruise Line International Assn., which represents 26 major cruise lines that operate in North America, said the new policies "exceed current standards, enhance safety and strengthen safety of passengers and crew members."
Others say they're not so sure. "They're almost a knee-jerk reaction to issues unique to the Costa Concordia," said Jim Walker, a Miami-based maritime lawyer. "There's no teeth to any of this. It's completely self-regulatory."
Policies in place
Cruise Line International implemented 10 new policies that were phased in throughout 2012. The first change came less than a month after the disaster. Cruise ships now hold 30- to 45-minute muster, or lifeboat drills, before the ship leaves port to ensure that passengers know emergency procedures and locations of lifeboats.
Many cruise lines already adhered to this practice, but some didn't because international law requires only that drills be held within 24 hours of passengers' embarkation. The International Maritime Organization, which oversees ship safety and procedures, agreed to adopt this new policy as law this year, according to Cruise Line International.
The drills have changed too. Passengers now receive 12 specific instructions, including how to put on a life jacket, where life jackets are located (jackets are placed near lifeboats and muster stations where passengers can find them easily), how to account for passengers during a training drill or a real emergency, and what to expect if an evacuation is ordered. The idea is to standardize procedures across all ships.
About 700 people who boarded the Concordia in Rome never received the safety training before they left port, which might have contributed to the chaos during the evacuation.
"No one knew what they were doing," said Georgia Ananias, a former elementary school principal from Downey. At least four times during the evacuation, she was certain death was imminent. She, her husband and two adult daughters were among the last to be rescued. Schettino, whom the media dubbed "Capt. Coward," is accused of fleeing the ship before all passengers and crew were safely off.
The industry also added to its procedures the recording of passengers' nationalities for search and rescue purposes, and the securing of heavy objects on ships.
The safety review and subsequent policies also examined ships' passage plans and bridge procedures. Much of what happened on the Concordia between Schettino, his officers and the cruise company before and after the ship hit the rocks remains in dispute. Media accounts say ship owner Costa Crociere, a subsidiary of Miami-based Carnival Corp., blames the captain for deciding to make the reckless sail-by; Schettino says this was a common move that he was authorized to perform and that his officers should share the blame.
Now members of the bridge crew are briefed beforehand on passage plans, the route cruise ships take, to make sure they understand it and to make sure they "are asked and encouraged to raise any operational concerns without fear of retribution or retaliation," according to the policy. To avoid distractions, access to the bridge is off-limits to all but essential personnel during arrivals and departures from port, heavy traffic or other periods. (During the Concordia investigation, a bridge officer told Italian magistrates that the ship's head waiter and purser were chatting with Schettino when he hit the rocks, according to accounts in Italian newspapers.)
How are these enforced? Duffy said cruise line executives are required to verify that they are being followed, and companies risk being expelled from the association if they don't follow through. Cruise Line International has brought nine trade groups under its umbrella, including the European Cruise Council and the International Cruise Council Australasia, to form a global association to set standards and policies.
Ananias, who had sailed on more than 60 cruises with her family before the Concordia wreck, called the new policies "insulting" and said the cruise industry needs a wake-up call.
"Can the industry change? Absolutely," she said. "Will they do it? No, not until they realize that safety of passengers is the key to making this industry grow."
Cruise Line International has always maintained that safety of passengers is paramount. Duffy told reporters in a December news conference about the review: "Without safety, there is no cruise industry."
Ananias, who has a lawsuit pending against Costa Crociere, the Concordia's owner, won't set foot on a cruise ship until more safety measures are implemented. She declined to discuss details of those desired improvements.
Barraclough, meanwhile, signed up to sail on the South China Sea in October. In an email, she said she wants to regain what she once loved about going on a cruise and visiting new places every day.
And she hopes it might help her heal too.
The upcoming cruise, she said, could be a way "to try to put the nightmares and bad thoughts away, if we go on another cruise and it's great like our past cruises. Then we can try to put the bad memories behind us."

ROME—Italian police say they have arrested nine cardiologists accused of performing unauthorized experimental treatments on patients.
Carabinieri Col. Giovanni Capasso says the investigation began over a year ago after consumer groups raised alarm about some suspicious deaths at the Polyclinic hospital in the northern city of Modena.
Capasso said nine doctors were arrested Friday on accusations of corruption, criminal association, embezzlement, defrauding the national health system and performing unauthorized experimental treatments. One was jailed while the others were given house arrest.
In addition, he said, a dozen medical equipment companies have been barred from working with the national health system for their alleged involvement in the scheme.
It wasn't immediately clear how many deaths might have been attributed to the experiments.

Kimbrel, wife lend support to Curing Kids Cancer
ATLANTA -- A little more than an hour before the Braves were scheduled to begin a game at Turner Field in August, Craig Kimbrel visited a group of cancer-stricken children he had invited to the stadium.
As he began to address the kids and their families who were seated at picnic benches located on the right-field concourse, the often stone-faced Braves closer found himself fighting back the tears that developed after as he looked at the group and saw a young boy who had lost vision in one eye.
ATLANTA -- A little more than an hour before the Braves were scheduled to begin a game at Turner Field in August, Craig Kimbrel visited a group of cancer-stricken children he had invited to the stadium.
As he began to address the kids and their families who were seated at picnic benches located on the right-field concourse, the often stone-faced Braves closer found himself fighting back the tears that developed after as he looked at the group and saw a young boy who had lost vision in one eye.
Just a year earlier, while visiting children at an Atlanta-area hospital, Kimbrel had seen this same young boy going through his initial treatments after being with cancer.
"Seeing all of them and thinking about all that they have gone through, it kind of is emotional," Kimbrel said. "When I was talking to them, I was thinking about it the whole time. That is really the reason I got choked up. It doesn't hurt to show how you feel sometimes because they feel the same way and it's good for them to know everybody else cares for them as much as well."
The baseball world has come to recognize Kimbrel as the intimidating right-hander who stands as the only pitcher in Major League history to notch at least 40 saves during each of his first three full seasons. Clay and Grainne Owen have come to know Kimbrel as a kind-hearted, generous individual who has proven to be the perfect spokesperson for their charity, Curing Kids Cancer.
"We just feel so blessed," Grainne said. "We really do. If I had written down all of the qualities I wanted in somebody, I couldn't have found anyone any better."
The Owens started their charity in 2004, one-year after their 9-year-old son Killian died of acute lymphocytic leukemia, which has become recognized as the most common and curable type of childhood cancer.
During his 4 1/2-year battle with this disease, Killian underwent chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. He also received experimental targeted treatment at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
Doctors performing this experimental treatment knew of a drug that had not yet received enough funding to be put through the necessary testing to gain approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration. The FDA granted these doctors permission to use this drug now recognized as Moxy, but only at a dosage that was essentially half of what Killian needed.
"As you can imagine, as a parent, that was the most awfully frustrating thing you could imagine," Grainne Owen said. "There was a medicine there that might have helped and we just couldn't get it to him and it was all just because of the money."
Since establishing Curing Kids Cancer, with the mission to prevent other parents from having to deal with similar helpless heartaches, the Owens have raised between $3 million and $4 million that has been used to pediatric cancer research.
Kimbrel has donated $100 for every save and $25 for every strikeout to the charity. This has amounted to more than $14,000 in donations the past two seasons. In addition, the Braves closer and his wife, Ashley, raised $65,000 during the Cowboy Boots and Cocktails event they held in Atlanta earlier this month.
"God gave me the ability to play baseball at the highest level and to have the exposure that I do," Kimbrel said. "So, I need to turn around and help others. We're in a situation where we can do that and there is no reason we should not. The way I look at life is you shouldn't turn and run the other way. You need to go and get things done, because if you don't try to get things done, then nobody else will either."
When Kimbrel was introduced to the Owens before the start of the 2012 season, he was moved by their story and desire to continue fighting after incurring a painful personal loss.
"That's what drew me to this family, the fact that they had been through it," Kimbrel said. "They fought the fight and were on the losing end of it and didn't want to quit."
Along with providing financial assistance, the Kimbrels have become even more invested while making hospital visits that allow them to be introduced to some of the children and families that they are trying to assist.
"I think people think celebrities stick their names on charities just to get visibility," Grainne Owen said. "I'm sure that is the case with some of them. But that is certainly not the case with Craig. He and Ashley have jumped in and they want to know all about what we're doing. They like to be kept informed about what is going on. They have met a lot of the children and they genuinely care about what we're doing. I've seen Craig get choked up on more than one occasion when he talks about what we're doing. He's really invested in it."
A little more than a year before being introduced to Kimbrel, the Owens were preparing for Christmas when they were informed three children who had been treated with Moxy --- the drug their son had helped gain approval -- had seen their leukemia go into complete remission.
Heartwarming stories like this stir Kimbrel's emotional side and provide him even more motivation to aid the Owens as they attempt to prevent other families from having to deal with the heartache of burying a loved one, knowing that things might have turned out different had the finances been available to complete the research of a particular drug.
"Even if your family isn't directly affected by cancer, if you have kids in school and one of their friends ends up getting it, that affects your child as well," Kimbrel said. "It's something that you don't want your child to go through. It doesn't just affect the children themselves, it affects everyone around them."

Kat Dennings — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Kat Dennings is basically everywhere — on TV, in movies and probably on buses and billboards all around your town. She is currently staring in 2 Broke Girls and has been in movies like Dennings 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' 'The House Bunny,' 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,' and 'Thor.' Kat Dennings is our crush today for literally looking like the girl next door.
We've got a huge problem with that 'girl next door' phrase because most time it's completely off. Very few of us lived next door to a 5'10 blonde with a massive chest, flawless skin and looks that can stop gravity. The world seems to think those are the 'girl next door.' Kat Dennings looks like someone that did live next door. She also looks very approachable, and even kind of cool, and not like a a 5'10 blonde who would tell you to scram if you said a word to her.
Kat Dennings looks like a true girl next door. Hopefully, she will some day be the girl next door, after we find out where she lives and rent out the house next door. Too close? Fine. We'll rent out the basement of her house. It's got to be an upgrade from the basement we're living in now.

Outdoor Channel's Ted Nugent Says "Subhuman Mongrel" President Obama Should Be Convicted Of Treason
Blog ››› ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
National Rifle Association board member and Outdoor Channel spokesman Ted Nugent called President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" and argued that he and other liberal politicians should be punished for treason.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines mongrel as "a dog with parents of different breeds."
Nugent made the comment during a January 17 interview with Guns.com at the 2014 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show), an annual gun industry trade show that draws 60,000 firearms industry professionals. Nugent was representing the Outdoor Channel, which airs his hunting show Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild. Nugent and Outdoor Channel recently announced a multi-year endorsement deal where Nugent will make "talent appearances on the network's behalf at top consumer and industry trade events." In announcing the deal, Outdoor Channel's CEO said that Nugent "symbolizes everything that is right in our industry."
In addition to describing "Barack Hussein Obama" as a "gangster," Nugent said the president and other liberals should be jailed and face "the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent":
NUGENT: I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist raised communist educated communist nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up. I think America will be America again when Barack Obama, [Attorney General] Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, [Sen.] Dick Durbin, [former New York City Mayor] Michael Bloomberg and all of the liberal Democrats are in jail facing the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent.
So a lot of people would call that inflammatory speech. Well I would call it inflammatory speech when it's your job to protect Americans and you look into the television camera and say what difference does it make that I failed in my job to provide security and we have four dead Americans. What difference does that make? Not to a chimpanzee or Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn't matter.
Nugent also made a sexist remark about Hillary Clinton, claiming, "Our politicians check their scrotum in at the door. Even Hillary, but obviously she has spare scrotums."
Just last week, Nugent compared a Jewish film producer to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels and wrote that African-Americans must "admit to the self-inflicted destructo-derby they are waging" in order to honestly celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, evidencing his long history of inflammatory commentary on race and other topics.
Outdoor Channel did not respond to a request for comment.

Are You a Pattern Mixer, Matcher or Both?
Patterned wallpaper, pillows, bedding and other decor add welcome personality and style to a room. What you choose reflects who you are and what you want your home to be. This doesn't end at the individual patterns you pick, but also includes how you combine (or don't combine) them as well. Which begs the crucial question: How much do you like to match or mix it up?
Matching Patterns
Repeating the same pattern on multiple surfaces unifies a room, and gives the illusion of more space. The room looks finished and complete.
• Colorful bedroom from House To Home
• Traditional floral bedroom from Lonny
• A Sydney bedroom by Greg Natale
• Kate & Jack Spade's Park Avenue apartment by Steven Sclaroff
• Floral room from Orla Kiely
Mixing and Matching Patterns
These rooms use a variety of patterns, but the limited color palettes keep them from being crazy.
• Modern blue and white bedroom from House To Home
• Red floral bedroom from Katrin Cargill
• Moroccan bedroom by Maryam Montague from Lonny
• Living Room from Designers Guild
• One of Haymarket Hotel's bedrooms via Elle Decor
Mixing Patterns
Far from calm, these rooms break any and all decorating rules. Looking less "designed" than those above, they suggest a sense of humor and play.
• Modern toile bedroom from House to Home
• The home of John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon
• A bohemian bedroom from the Urban Outfitters 2011 catalog
• Tim Lam's Contemporary condo from Style At Home
• Traditional Home featured this room by Ellen Hamilton.

Estimating When a Cabinet Card Image Was Produced
The cabinet card shares many features and characteristics with the carte de visite. At first, the styles of cabinet cards followed those of the carte de visite. As the popularity of the cabinet card rose, it began to dictate style to the waning carte de visite. The earliest cabinet portraits, introduced in 1866, were a larger version of the plain Bristol board carte de visite stock with the usual gilt borders. There has not been as much research on the cabinet card styles as on the carte de visite styles, therefore they may be more difficult to assess. But like the CdV, the an approximate date for a cabinet image should be obtainable through an understanding of it's features. Gallery operators replenished their supply of card stock about every six months and card manufacturers encouraged this demand by brining out a new line of decorative cards each year. Because of this constant change, a card mount offers the best clue to when a cabinet image was made. The styles of later cartes de visite of known date should be used as a guide to dating the cabinet card. The CdV styles in all likelihood tracked somewhat behind those introduced for cabinet stock each year. Note that dating the mount does not necessarily date the image. The photographer may have been using up old card stock. Many photographers advertised their copying services. The outline of a daguerreotype frame can be seen in some carte de visite copies. The complexity of imprint is another factor in dating a card. Early on, imprints were simply one or tow lines giving the name and location of the photographer. Later imprints show a great variety and richness of ornamentation. Trends in imprint styles can help approximate a date. The size of portrait and pose are also keys to arriving at a more precise date. The presence or a U. S. Internal Revenue stamp can date the image to the period 1 Aug 1864 to 1 Aug 1866 (roughly the end of the American Civil War to the introduction of the cabinet card; I think it would be rare to find a cabinet portrait bearing a tax stamp). Many other details can help to date a photograph, such as accessories, costume and fashion or landmarks.
This cabinet portrait circa early 1890s, appears to be a matte-collodion print, showing a neutral-black image tone much like that of modern black & white gelatin prints. The image tone has a remarkable tonality, offering a range of brilliant tones from sparkling silver to deep black. Mounted on a dark green card with beveled gilt edges, typical of the 1890s The dark green card makes for an excellent contrast to the image color, complimented by the understated blind imprint.
Cabinet cards styles followed those of the carte de visite right after their introduction in 1866 for portraits, usually a plain Bristol board card with the double gold lines for a border. Later, cabinet styles would become more ornate and as the carte de visite waned, the cabinet card would set the style for the carte. Therefore, cabinet card styles can be used to approximate a date for an unknown cabinet card.
It is worth noting that card stock or decorative feature of a card photograph can only date the card, not the image. Often copies were made of an older image. For example, a cabinet card that is shown to have been made in the 1890s by card style, but the sitter is pictured clearly in 1840s costume is certainly a copy of an old ambrotype or daguerreotype image.
So far, the following table is best recommendation for dating a cabinet card image other than the general statement that cabinet styles can be coordinated with carte styles. Usually cabinet styles followed those of carte style until the 1880s, when the increasing popularity of cabinet cards seems to meant that carte styles followed those introduced for cabinets.
|Card Colors
|1866 - 1880 White card stock of a light weight
|1880 - 1890 Different colors for face and back of mounts
|1882 - 1888 Face of buff, matte-finished, with a back of creamy-yellow,
|1866 - 1880 Red or gold rules, single and double lines
|1884 - 1885 Wide gold borders
|1885 - 1892 Gold beveled edges
|1889 - 1896 Rounded corner rule of single line
|1890 - 1892 Metallic green or gold impressed border
|1896 Impressed outer border, without color.
|1866 - 1880 Square, lightweight mount
|1880 - 1890 Square, heavy board with scalloped sides.

"Memes really do come true."
For Adam Smith and Stacy Lambe, it's been a week of seriously whirlwind proportions. But after seeing their mega-hit Tumblr blog, "Texts from Hillary", get international attention and even inspire a submission from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself, the two Washington, D.C., men are shutting it all down.
If you haven't followed this phenomenon, picture LOLCats crossed with pictures of Hillary Clinton texting. Add tens of thousands of viewers around the world, some hilarious captions, and a surprise invitation by Clinton to Smith and Lambe to meet at the State Department, and you've got the makings for meme history.
But while Smith and Lambe clearly relished the attention -- and the invitation to Foggy Bottom -- it appears that it's all gotten to be too much.
It's been an overwhelming--and hilarious--week for us here at "Texts from Hillary" (TFH). What started as a joke at the bar between two friends turned into a national conversation about Secretary Clinton and went as far as talks about 2016.
After a week that included 32 posts, 83,000 shares on Facebook, 8,400 Twitter followers, over 45K Tumblr followers, news stories around the world, Renee Montagne from "Morning Edition" saying "ROFL," a Maureen Dowd column, and a tweet from ?uest Love, we think it's time to stop while we are ahead.
As far as memes go -- it has gone as far as it can go. Is it really possible to top a submission from the secretary herself? No. But then when you get to text with her in real life -- it's just over. At least for us. But we have no doubt it will live on with all of you on the Internet.
What this means is that you'll still be able to go and see submissions featuring, say, Jon Stewart texting "Daily Show this week?" to Hillary and having the former First Lady respond, "Already booked Colbert." But there will never again be a new entry.
Unless, that is, someone else picks up the baton. After all, who says there couldn't be a new site, Texts with Hillary? Or Tweets from Hillary. There's plenty of room to play around with the idea.
Then again, sometimes a shooting star is just that, and peters out before we can really get a clear view of it. If that's the case with this meme, then so be it. Let's just hope that Clinton keeps her sense of humor.

We love finding great deals on home theater essentials. We love it even more when that discounted item comes packing a little freebie.
For a limited time, Newegg is knocking $50 off the price of the Yamaha RX-V373BL 5.1-Channel AV Receiver. The price that's currently listed on the website is $249.95, which also includes free shipping.
However, if you order this receiver before September 29, 2012, Newegg will also throw in a $50 promotional gift card with the purchase. Score!
As far as the receiver is concerned, the Yamaha RX-V373BL can crank 100 watts per channel and features HD Audio decoding for Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio. It also has 192 kHz/24-bit Burr Brown DACs, a front-panel USB port for connecting an iPhone or iPod, and four HDMI inputs with 3D support, Audio Channel Return and 4K pass-through.
Other features include SCENE support, YPAO calibration, the Compressed Music Enhancer feature, and more.
Just remember to read all of the fine print about the gift card before you make your purchase. However, you'd better do that soon; this offer is only good through September 29, 2012, or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.
Electronic House Hot Deals are offered as an editorial service to readers. EH is not paid to promote Hot Deals and makes no guarantee on the accuracy of the product descriptions we find at the dealers' sites, nor does EH verify that the site/dealer is an authorized reseller of the product or brand.

GTA V: Pre-Order Today, Trailer Next Week
Hey sexy, looking good! No, not you, I'm talking to GTA V, which celebrates its official pre-order availability by releasing the above teaser image. Not much I know, but come next week we'll have the game's second trailer to pick apart and cook up more ridiculous theories about Nico, Claude, CJ returning for more action.

With the approach of the Fourth of July comes an opportunity to reflect: on what liberty means, on what a nation is, the gravity of calling a series of events "revolutionary" and the challenges implicit in it all.
Which is to say, take a moment to think seriously. Then kick back and enjoy the glimmers of history tucked away in a whole host of carefree Independence Day festivities.
Palo Alto's official party, as usual, is the 30th annual Summer Festival and Chili Cook-off, noon to 5 p.m. at Mitchell Park, 600 E. Meadow Drive. There'll be music provided by DJ Joe Sheldon and the band Johnny Super, line dancing with Hedy McAdams, face painting and other children's activities, food vendors and samples from the culinary showdown, which are up for tasting at 1:30 p.m.
Information is available at 650-463-4921 and cityofpaloalto.org/recreation.
If the 5K Chili Chase, also at Mitchell Park, sounds just distantly familiar, it's because it last took place in the late '90s. Revived for the first time this side of Y2K, the 10 a.m. run starts and ends in the park, segueing into the chili-themed afternoon proceedings. Racers can pre-register at active.com (search for Chili Chase Palo Alto). General registration is $20; $15 for students and kids.
In Menlo Park, the city holds its annual parade, starting at 11:45 a.m. at the Wells Fargo parking lot on Santa Cruz Avenue and Chestnut Street, and winding down at noon in Burgess Park at Burgess Drive and Alma Street. There, games, crafts, music and other family-friendly activities will last until 2:30 p.m. The event is free, with a $6 wristband required for some activities. Information is available at menlopark.org (search for "July 4th") and 650-330-2200.
Redwood City's celebration, honoring 150 years of the Redwood City Fire Department, promises to be a host of things happening at once, beginning bright and early as the firefighters serve up a fundraising pancake breakfast at 755 Marshall St. from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.
The annual festival starts at 9 a.m. and fills the day with arts and crafts for sale; a jump house and other kids' activities; a car show; a fire engine display; and live music, including the marching bands of Stanford University and the University of California at Davis. Maps of the festival area and the route to be taken by the 10 a.m. parade are posted at parade.org, where there is also information about the 35th annual Fun Run, which meets at Brewster Avenue and Arguello Street and takes off at 9 a.m. Race registration specifics have been posted at redwoodcity.org.
Not far from the parade, the San Mateo County History Museum at 2200 Broadway offers something a little more retro: a chance to churn one's own ice cream and make parachutes, whirligigs and flags from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for seniors and students. Information is at historysmc.org and 650-299-0104.
In Mountain View, the San Francisco Symphony will play marches and patriotic songs at Shoreline Amphitheatre. The 8 p.m. concert concludes with a fireworks display. Tickets are $19.50-$47.35. Information at sfsymphony.org.
Another possibility is Foster City's Leo J. Park, 650 Shell Blvd., where an all-day celebration will be capped with fireworks at 9:30 p.m. Information at fostercity.org.
Lastly, a reminder that the American Automobile Association (AAA) offers a nifty free tow of up to five miles for drinking drivers from 6 p.m. on the Fourth to 6 a.m. the next morning. To request a tow, drivers can call 800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP) and say they need a "tipsy tow." The service is available to both AAA members and non-members.

Portugal is not out of the tournament...if they win they're next 2 games (against russia and spain) then they advance...just cause they lost or won their first game doesn't decide the entire outcome of the tournament
and btw...Portugal didn't get "pwned" by anyone...getting "pwned" was
1. Poland when Portugal played and beat them 4-0...
2. America when they played against Poland and Poland scored either 1 or 2 goals within the first 10 or so minutes...
Portugal lost by 1 point....

Greece spoil Portuguese party
by Rui Pires - Last Updated 12 Jun 2004
Host nation Portugal made a disappointing start to their Euro 2004 campaign, losing 2-1 to Greece at the Estadio do Dragao in Oporto.
Goals from Giorgios Karagounis and Angelos Basinas gave Greece their first win in a major tournament against a Portuguese side at odds with their nerves.
The Greeks signalled their intention early and should have opened the scoring in the first minute. Vryzas failed to make contact with a Takis Fyssas cross with the Portuguese defence in disarray.
The pressure from Otto Rehhagel's side told and Greece opened the scoring on seven minutes. A Paulo Ferreira mistake allowed Karagounis to run unchallenged before striking a long range effort past Ricardo.
The home side were stung by the setback and immediately went on the attack. Antonis Nikopolidis failed to deal with a high ball but no one could take advantage and the Greeks cleared their lines.
A mistake by Costinha almost presented Angelos Haristeas with the chance to double Greece's lead on nine but he got his angles wrong and the shot fizzed wide.
Greece were looking the most comfortable team as Portugal failed to get going. Perugia midfielder Zisis Vryzas tried his luck on the volley but his shot sailed high and wide.
It took 15 minutes for Portugal to muster their first chance of the match. Fernando Couto laid the ball off nicely to fellow centre back Jorge Andrade who fired wide.
The lively Haristeas then had a couple of efforts as Greece looked to double their advantage.
First, the Werder Bremen striker jumped higher than the Portuguese defence to head over before finding some room in the area and shooting straight at Ricardo.
Portugal had their best chance of the half on 25 minutes when a Paulo Ferreira cross was headed wide by the unmarked Rui Costa.
Six minutes later and a deft touch took Simao past Dellas and into the area, but Nikopolidis came out well to smother the danger.
Figo began to run the show as the host nation looked to get back into the game. The Real Madrid winger fed Maniche but his effort cleared the crossbar.
Despite Figo's probings, Portugal did not pose much of a threat to the Greek defence with Pauleta looking increasingly isolated up front on his own.
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari made a double substitution at half time with Cristiano Ronaldo and Deco coming on for the disappointing Rui Costa and Simao.
However, Portugal suffered a further blow on 51 minutes as Seitaridis was crudely brought down by Ronaldo in the area. Basinas coolly stroked the penalty past Ricardo to make it 2-0.
The host nation tried to regroup but despite their best effort, Greece defended stoutly and chances were at a premium.
Maniche saw another long-range effort sail wide on 60 minutes before Scolari made his third change with striker Nuno Gomes coming on to bolster the attack.
Cristiano Ronaldo desperately tried to make up for his error with some clever jinking runs from the right but there was no end product from the Manchester United man's crosses.
Figo failed to make the breakthrough with a free-kick on 75 before Deco tried his luck after a jinking run took him within sight of the Greek goal.
Try as they might, the Portuguese attack failed to force Nikolidis into a save. Ronaldo found some space in the area but his shot on the turn hit Seitaridis and bounced wide.
The Greek keeper was forced to do some work on 85 minutes, palming away a Nuno Gomes effort as Portugal looked to salvage some pride.
Portugal managed a consolation goal on 92 minutes when Ronaldo headed in a Figo corner but Greece held on to win the opening match of Euro 2004.

Inspired sub seals Spanish win
by Alex Dunn - Last Updated 12 Jun 2004
Spain coach Inaki Saez takes the plaudits after substitute Juan Carlos Valeron scored with his first touch after coming off the bench to earn a 1-0 win for Spain against Russia.
The Deportivo La Coruna midfielder, a surprise omission from Spain's starting line-up, arrived on the hour mark and finished with consummate ease to win the game.
Spain began the game with a vigour and attacking intent that made a mockery of their reputation as slow starters.
Valencia pair Ruben Baraja and David Albelda gave customary protection to their back four and in willing wide men Joseba Etxeberria and Vicente had pace and natural width.
In the first minute and it was the mercurial Raul who fashioned the game's first opportunity.
Baraja's long ball from back to front was straight but Alexei Smertin, adjusting to his makeshift defensive position, was caught square and Raul, having worked a yard drifted an effort just wide.
Vicente and Etxeberria were both being supplied adroitly by the raking balls of Baraja and on the half-hour, it was the Valencia man who proved the provider of the half's best opportunity.
Twisting Vadim Evseev inside and then out, Vicente worked his way to the byline and fed Morientes. The in-form Madrid man connected well but Sergei Ovchinnikov was equal to it and diverted the ball away.
Buoyed by their escape, Russia grew in confidence and immediately worked the ball forward and created their own first chance.
Porto midfielder Alenichev showed wonderful feet on the edge of the Spanish box and having glided past two lethargic challenges, Ilker Casillas was alert and managed to block for a corner.
Alenichev then found time on the edge of the Spanish box but his drilled effort was again saved smartly by Casillas at his near post.
The rest of the half saw both teams sparring in midfield but despite the continued efforts of Spain's exciting wingers, neither managed to fashion a further chance.
Etxeberria started the second period as he finished the first and it was his devilish delivery that found Raul - who met the ball meekly and pulled his header wide.
On the hour mark Inaki Saez had clearly seen enough from his goal-shy charges and made what was to prove the proverbial inspired substitution.
Xabi Alonso and Juan Carlos Valeron were summoned from the bench and to some effect.
The imperious Carles Puyol broke on the overlap and when his drilled ball ended at the feet of Valeron, the sumptuous midfielder made no mistake from eight yards.
Taking the ball from his feet with his first touch, his second slammed the ball past Ovchinnikov in the Russian goal.
Having played the opening hour of the game with a defensive game plan that had in truth oppressed the Spanish attack efficiently, Russia had to commit forward but their attacking options looked rather blunt.
Instead, it was Valeron who was to become the principal entertainer - full of characteristic flicks and feints which Russia struggled to ever nullify.
Russia's response lacked precision and having been reduced to hopeful balls into the Spanish box, Saez's men controlled their counterparts with ease.
On the one occasion Russia breeched Spain's backline, Albelda upended Dmitri Bulykin with a crude challenge that resulted in a deserved booking.
With three minutes remaining Russia's woe intensified when Roman Sharonov felled substitute Fernando Torres on the edge of the box and duly received his matching orders for a second booking.
Vicente and then Torres could then have sealed the victory but Valeron's effort proved enough to seal a derserved win for a dangerous looking Spanish side.

Best of the Day - June 12
We look at the best action from today's games in Euro 2004.
by Alex Dunn - Last Updated 12 Jun 2004
We look at the best action from today's games in Euro 2004.
Player of the day - Trainos Dellas
With honourable mention to Carlos Puyol, who was in scintillating form for Spain, the player of the day had to be from the blue and whites of Greece.
Although the goals from Angelos Basinas and Giorgios Karagounis decided the game by shattering Portugal's hopes early in each period - the win was built on a rock solid defence.
Trainos Dellas plays his football in Italy - a country that knows a bit about good defending.
And yet, even the Italians would have been impressed with Dellas's dominant display at the back. Composed, solid and commanding - a superb performance when the chips were down .
Goal of the day - Giorgios Karagounis
It took just seven minutes to shatter the hopes of a nation - a mistake by Paulo Ferreira allowed Giorgios Karagounis space to run at the defence.
The Portugal defence let the player have far too much time and space, and were made to pay for their hesitance.
Looking up, Karagounis arrowed home a drive of unerring accuracy that hapless goalkeeper Ricardo could only get the merest touch on before it hit the back of the net
Portugal was silenced - and Greece were on their way to an unlikely victory in the opening game.
Save of the day - Sergey Ovchinokov
Fernando Morientes has shown just how good he is this season. Propelling Monaco to the UEFA Champions League final after the humiliation of being farmed out at Real Madrid.
However, the Spaniard met his match on Saturday when he had the opportunity to nod home a trademark far post header.
To Morientes' surprise, Russian goalkeeper Sergey Ovchinikov threw himself to his left and managed to keep the ball out.
A fine save - but Spain would eventually break the deadlock to claim victory.
Pass of the day - Carlos Puyol
Carlos Puyol was outstanding for Spain and his industry down the right paid off for Spain as he laid on their winner.
The Barcelona man escaped down the flank and looked up before firing the perfect ball across.
Striker Juan Carlos Valeron could scarcely believe his luck - and had time to take a touch before lashing home just seconds after coming off the bench.
Miss of the day - Raul
Raul has not had a good season - by his own astronomic standards - and the Real Madrid legend should have scored in Spain's clash against Russia
The prolific striker was picked out ummarked by Joseba Etxeberria with a wonderful cross,
However, despite rising to meet the ball Raul directed his header woefully wide.
Dive of the day - Pauleta
A little bit of frustration and a disappointing game probably conspired to force Pauleta into drastic action
The striker was well aware he was inside the box and surrounded, but tried his best to benefit by throwing himself to the ground
Unfortunately he had forgotten that Pierluigi Collina deals with far better 'simulators' on a weekly basis in Serie A.
The bald-headed official gave the striker his best glare as he waved play on disgustedly.
Tactic of the day - Inaki Saez
An easy choice for Tactic of the Day - Spain coach Inaki Saez can scarcely have made a substitution that had such an impact.
Juan Carlos Valeron was probably a little unlucky not to start, but after scoring with his first touch - has become the tournament's first super-sub.
It took less than a minute, 36 seconds to be precise, from crossing the line to hammering the ball into the back of the net after Carlos Puyol's fine cross
Celebration of the day - Greece
For those that thought Greece's insistence that they could not win this game was a bluff of international size - the celebrations showed just how shocked the nation was.
The Grecian fans in the stands will be telling their grandchildren that they were at THE match when the nation picked up their first major tournament win.
The players on the pitch celebrated like they had just won the final.

The Euro 2004 Football Championships.
England take on defending champions and favourites France in their opening game of Euro 2004, in possibly the most eagerly-anticipated clash of the tournament.
France v England preview
by Paul Higham - Last Updated 12 Jun 2004
With so many club team-mates facing each other and so many players plying their trade in the English Premier League, the game in Lisbon is sure to have a derby atmosphere about it.
Sven Goran Eriksson's main problem ahead of the game is the well-publicised absence of the injured John Terry, and the dilemma of who should replace him between Jamie Carragher and Ledley King.
A further problem for the Swede is whether to play his favoured diamond formation or revert to the 4-4-2, which seems to suit his English players, especially Steven Gerrard, much better.
Paul Scholes could well find himself on the left hand side of midfielder should Eriksson play four men across the middle of the park, as the Manchester United man looks to finally end a barren international spell that has seen him go three years without a goal.
Up front there are no problems but Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen face the unenviable task of trying to breech a defence that has not conceded a goal in over 1000 minutes.
France have not lost for 18 international games but Jacques Santini's line-up is also not set in stone, especially at the back.
Marcel Desailly looks to have recovered from a knee injury, but he still may not be in the starting XI after the displays of Mikael Silvestre and Lilian Thuram.
William Gallas is also vying for a starting berth but he is more likely to be deployed at right back, although he will be challenged for his position by Willy Sagnol.
Juventus striker David Trezeguet is getting over a foot injury and should be fit enough to take his place up front alongside Thierry Henry.
Henry's battle with Arsenal team-mate Sol Campbell is one of the most mouth-watering clashes, but Patrick Vieira faces Gerrard and Frank Lampard does battle with Claude Makelele, not to mention David Beckham's tussle with fellow Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane.
With so much familiarity, and so much quality on show the battle at the Estadio de Luz could be one of the best of the tournament.

The Euro 2004 Football Championships.
Croatia take on Switzerland on Sunday with both sides knowing that a win for either side would give them a great chance of an unlikely passage into the quarter finals.
Switzerland v Croatia preview
by Paul Higham - Last Updated 12 Jun 2004
England and France are seen as the big guns in Group B but the Swiss and Croats are keen that they should not be written off as also-rans.
A win for either side, coupled with a result in England v France, would give on of the underdogs a good chance of progression considering the pressure that would then be on one of the big two.
Croatia are certainly set to go for the victory, if coach Otto Baric's selection in their final warm-up game against Denmark is anything to go by.
Baric played with four forwards in Copenhagen, two of them out wide, and he has already said that he may go the same way for the Switzerland clash in Leiria.
Croatia's plans have already been hampered with number one goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa having to pull out of the tournament with a thigh muscle injury.
Tomislav Butina will start in goal for Croatia while Vladimir Vasilj has been called into the squad as cover.
Juventus man Igor Tudor is suspended for the match, while there are injury doubts over striker Tomislav Ivic and skipper Boris Zivkovic, although both are still expected to start.
Croatia have never drawn a European Championship match and the signs are that they will not be going for a stalemate against the Swiss.
Kobi Kahn has midfielder Ricardo Cabanas suspended for a game which the Swiss also believe could propel them into the next round with a win.
Midfielder Johann Vogel is expected to return from a thigh injury to play in the match, while Kahn has a choice between Patrick Muller and Stephane Henchoz in the heart of defence.
Switzerland have plenty of experience in their side with goalkeeper Joerg Stiel the oldest player in the competition and striker Stephane Chapuisat one of only six in the competition with over 100 caps to his name.
The Swiss have not won a European Championship finals match but now that they could stand a chance of springing a shock in the group if they could break their duck against Croatia.

Sure Portugal can go to the next round IF they win against Russia and SPAIN. The fact is, the chance of them winning against Spain is so small, they only won...what? Four times out of 60 games against them?
Do I need to remind you of the shattering defeat last year, 3 - 0 on homesoil?
Let's face it even if they win against them, they still have to face France in the quarter finals (assuming Portugal will be second place). In other words....Portugal is gridlocked and out of the tournament.
Unless there's a miracle and they actually are going to play well but I'm doubting that.
PS Portugal still got pwned, its all about the shattering hopes.

Yes, it will be almost impossible for Portugal qualify to 1/4 finals. However I think it will happen because of Russia.
They got , how many... I think 7 yellow cards in their first match. If they get a couple more in the match against Portugal, they won't have any good players left for thier last match against Greece. And they'll lose against Greece thus denying Portugal the chance to get to 1/4 finals.

Actually Blaat, even though this is the most unlikely case scenario, can't portugal whoop russia, draw against spain and russia beat greece and greece lose to spain?
Then portugal will go through and who says they'll meet France?
Football's a funny game and you never know what is going to happen, just take a look at the last world cup? France knocked out first stage in a relatively weak group and didn't score a single goal.
AND Portugal didn't get pwned

I pity the foo!
It was 30 games, in which Spain won 15 times, Portugal 11 and there were 4 draws...
As you, see, it isn't impossible for us... heck, i believe the word impossible doesn't even exist in the players books
Let's do a small math, shall we?
Spain wins against Greece, which means they will have 4 points. Portugal wins against Russia, which equals 3 points. Portugal ties with Spain, one point to each of them. Russia and Greece tie, 1 point for each of them. which means that Portugal and Greece could have the same amount of points, but it will be the goal difference that will count.

My friends and I have discussed this and the conclusion we have is that Portugal can reach the quarters but it is an uphill task that is not totally within their hands since now they have to depend on other teams' results. It is an uphill task no doubt. The thing they must do is to absolutely win the next match, otherwise they are screwed.
You cannot deny that Portugal played like (in the nicest terms) a bunch of school boys that day... Within the first 5 minutes, my friend and I were already crying out loud at their passing and when he said "I'm pretty sure they'll lose." Guess what? The Greeks scored. The Portugese captain was more concerned with his own balls than trying to prevent that football from going into the net.
As long as I get to good football, I'll be happy with whatever champion (except France).
Hope to see a trio of victorius lions standing over the blue field today... Viva la France (to defeat)!

This week we decided on the scriptures that meant something to our family and today we took our trusty markers and went to work, writing our prayers on the walls of our home. It just seemed like a tangible way to build a solid foundation for our lives in this home.
Of course, some of our kids decided that they wanted to suck up to us...
...and some just wanted to draw pictures on the floor...
...but for the most part we kept it to our hopes, dreams, and prayers for our family.
For the Front Door:
*As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
*The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-25 (I wrote this one in the door frame since I thought it was a good blessing for coming and going)
For the Bedroom (ooo-la-la):
* Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2-3 (I need reminding of this constantly!)
* Love is patient. Love is kind. 1 Cor 13
*I am my beloved's and he is mine. Song of Solomon 6:3
This would also be a great place to write your wedding vows!
For the Living Room:
* "I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
* Love One Another. John 13:34
*The Lord will fight for you. You need only be still. Ex. 14:14 (I constantly need this reminder to slow down as a family, so I wanted this verse buried deep within the walls in the room where we spend the most time together.)
My husband writing verses on our living room beams. This may be the only thing in life sexier than a man running the vacuum or folding laundry.
For the Kitchen/Dining Room
* Prayer- Give food to the hungry, O Lord, and hunger for you to those that have food.
As you satisfy the needs of each of us, make us mindful of the needs of others. - -unknown author
*Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2
* Give us this day our daily bread Matthew 6:11
* And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deut. 8:3
For the kid's bedrooms:
*It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. No, your beauty should come from within you- the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. This beauty will never disappear and is worth much to God. 1 Peter 3:3-4 (Love this one especially for a young girl's room)
* The Lord your God is with you. He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with his love. He will rejoice over you with song. Zeph 3:17
* Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away and all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (We put this one in the room where our foster children will sleep as a reminder that there is healing from the past and a promise for the future)
*I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made! Psalm 139: 14
* I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13
In the laundry room: (Anyone else need a reminder to look for the positives as you go about your day to day thankless chores?)
* Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Phillipians 4:8
Office: (where my computer will be and this blog will be written)
*Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of the orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. Is. 1:17
Our kids really enjoyed this activity. Writing on the walls- a typically forbidden task- is so fun! Even though no one will ever see these, I know that they will be inside the walls that protect my family. My prayer is that they permeate not only our home, but also our hearts.
Our backyard
And God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it according to their various kinds."... and God saw that it was good.

Creating 3 "rooms" covered with more than 30,000 wooden blocks, balls and slats the spaces feel both like wooden prison cells and as metaphosr for the artists darkest memories. Watch a video of the installation after the jump.

But then....
Then I come home.
It is at the ocean that my soul finds rest. That my mind is at ease. That I can calm my thoughts and worries and hear Jesus whisper words of peace and love and confidence.
Part of it probably is just the getting away. Here we are away from most of our to-do's and places to be and all of that. But that too is good. SO very good.
