A mother says she is "very proud" that her son - who was tragically killed in a road traffic collision in Coleraine last year - donated his organs to give others the chance of life.
Liscolman mum Alexia McCook said son Craig's selfless decision to become an organ donor had not only helped those in desperate need for organs but had provided some comfort to her own family following their devastating loss.
19-year-old Craig McCook was in intensive care at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast for 12 days after the road crash on Coleraine's Strand Road which eventually claimed his life.
A car enthusiast, Craig had signed up to the organ donor register when he had got his provisional driving licence and his parents, Alexia and well-known Ballymoney postman Jeremy McCook, knew how important that was to him.
"We decided to go ahead and honour his wishes and have six of his organs donated," said Alexia.
"By doing so it would give someone else a chance to live and also help us deal with the pain of losing Craig.
"We are very, very proud of him."
Alexia said that real solace has been drawn from updates provided by Organ Donation NI about how Craig's organs have helped those in desperate need.
"We get follow ups about who have been helped and it gives other families hope and those waiting on organs their life back.
"For us it means that Craig's death was not for nothing."
Alexia revealed how:
* One of Craig's heart valves had helped a three-year-old;
* A man in his 60s from Newcastle in England, who had been waiting on a transplant for ten months, had received Craig's liver.
* One of Craig's kidneys had been given to a man in his 20s from Belfast who had been on dialysis for three years and on the organ donor waiting list for two years.
* Craig's other kidney and pancreas had gone to a man in his 20s at Guys Hospital in London. He also had been going through dialysis and was no longer a diabetic because of the new organs.
Alexis explained: "It gives the grieving family a bit of a link to the other families that have been helped.
"As a family we are proud that Craig has been able to help others in this way."
Last month the McCook family attended a reception in Belfast Castle where they were honoured with the Order of St John Award in recognition of the contribution that Craig had made to many other lives.
They received - a special commemorative pin - from Dame Mary Peters.
Mrs McCook is encouraging people across the region to follow in Craig's footsteps and people sign up to the organ donor register.
In Northern Ireland more than 570,000 people have signed the NHS Organ Donor Register. Although almost everyone would accept an organ if they needed one, registrations account for just 34% of the population.
Currently around 200 people in Northern Ireland are on the transplant waiting list and each year around 15 people die waiting for an organ.
The Register is a confidential central database where your details are held if you chose to sign up to be an organ donor.
It lists the organs and/or tissues you want to donate and can be accessed by healthcare professionals so they know your wishes in the event of your death.

The nation�s stern rebuke of the far right�s alternate universe � the one in which facts were avoided as if they were carriers of plagues and the most vulnerable Americans were treated as road kill on the financial and political highway to becoming multibillionaires � was a decisive victory for humanity.
In short, this election was about the electorate shouting loud and clear, �People are not corporations, my friend.�
Yes, significant challenges remain in restoring the financial health and well-being of the country, but if there is a mandate from the re-election of President Barack Obama it is that the solutions to our problems should take a humanizing, rather than a dehumanizing approach.
This means a balanced plan for deficit reduction and nation building, as championed by Mr. Obama during his re-election campaign, is the path forward. And while the spotlight properly is now on the president and his interaction with Congress, the debate on how to move forward in our cities and towns is just as important.
For example, in a recent report to City Manager Mike O�Brien, Superintendent of Schools Melinda Boone noted that should Congress fail to reach agreement on a balanced budget reduction plan, automatic spending cuts in the Budget Control Act of 2011 would significantly impact the quality of education in the city.
Direct federal spending for school improvement, disadvantaged students (Title I), special education, career, technical and adult education could be cut by some $1.7 million.
The automatic spending cuts in the Budget Control Act would impact other city services, according to Mr. O�Brien, who listed community development block grants, energy, lead abatement, programs for the homeless and work development grants among the municipal services that would be impacted.
Mr. O�Brien, who has been credited with structuring a sounder, more enduring fiscal foundation for local municipal operations, would be challenged to explain how his ongoing fiscal policies would mesh with the need to improve public education in the city.
Mr. O�Brien�s proposal, for example, to create a trust fund to pay for future liabilities in health care benefits for municipal and public school employees, deserves a healthy discussion. Three million dollars of the $5 million Mr. O�Brien would like put in the trust fund annually would come from the public school budget.
Given that over the last several years the city has been funding the public schools at or just below the minimum authorized by the state, a $3 million per year reduction in its budget is hardly a recipe for academic success. Ms. Boone said such a reduction would lead to the loss of 46 teaching positions.
Still, creating a trust fund to pay for future health care benefit liabilities is a laudable fiscal initiative, and the debate should be about the timing of the fund�s implementation rather than obtaining a yes or no decision on the viability of the idea.
Can the school system sustain such cuts at a time when there is an emergent need for it to turn around a number of failing schools, and to provide a level of education that is attractive to middle class families?
This is a key question, and fortunately Ms. Boone appears more than willing to engage city officials on the merits and the facts of her case. She has also reiterated her willingness to have a third party audit the public schools� expenditures.
Hopefully, city officials (and there are indications that some are) will be just as eager to engage her in this important debate.
And as it is with the national dialogue, the approach here should be that solutions work best when the debate begins and ends, not with the bottom line, but with the impact on people.

Another round of snow made its way into the Northeast on Saturday as the region continues to dig out from the previous storm.
New England is expected to be hit hardest by the latest blast of winter weather. The National Weather Service says 10 to 14 inches of snow is expected in eastern Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island. Connecticut could see 8 to 10 inches along its Rhode Island border.
At its peak, the storm will dump snow at the rate of 3 inches per hour, said meteorologist William Babcock.
The weekend snowstorm comes on the heels of another storm that brought snow and ice to the East Coast, caused at least 25 deaths and left hundreds of thousands without power. Parts of New York and Vermont ended up with more than 2 feet of snow.
On Saturday, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick urged drivers to stay off the roads for a 12-hour period beginning at 5 p.m., saying, "It won't be possible to keep up with the clearing of the roads."
The newest storm was expected to spawn blizzard conditions in several places along the Massachusetts coastline, including Cape Ann, Hingham, Cape Cod and surrounding islands.
"These areas could be seeing winds reaching up to 70 mph, blowing snow and creating extremely poor visibility," Babcock said. "People should be preparing for deteriorating conditions."
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh announced that the city would deploy more than 600 snow plows, trucks and other equipment by Saturday evening to deal with the storm. He said additional police officers, firefighters and paramedics would be on hand throughout the storm to ensure public safety.
Elsewhere, in Maine, forecasts called for 12 to 18 inches of snow in some areas beginning Saturday night. The weather service warned that heavy snow and strong winds could create hazardous driving conditions.
Southeastern New Hampshire is under a winter storm warning through Sunday that could bring 6 to 10 inches of snow. The weather service said 1 to 2 inches of snow was possible on Saturday with as much as 8 inches overnight.
Farther south, New York City could see 2 to 4 inches. The city got nearly a foot of snow Thursday.
In eastern Pennsylvania, forecasters predicted 2 to 5 inches before evening. In Lancaster, the station WGAL-TV remained unable to broadcast after a portion of its station roof collapsed Friday.

Cato Neimoidia: The Eastern Arch 3
Jump down and you'll enter another casino room, that's a bit heavy on the fog. Advance forward and you'll find the source: a carbonite droid. Destroy the carbonite droid and advance toward the opposite end of the room. You'll come to an open doorway from which another carbonite droid, storm troopers and some acolytes will emerge. The carbonite droid will seal the doorway with ice and the battle will begin. Take down the acolytes and troopers first. Once they're gone focus on the carbonite droid, destroying it in the usual fashion. Once you've wiped out all your enemies bust through the ice sealing the door with a charged force push.
With the ice gone, pass through the door and follow the adjoining hallway. At its end you'll arrive in a large round room. Exit through the sliding doors on the left. You'll exit back outside where you'll find yourself on another long walkway. Start down it and your old friend the gunship will return for another pass at you. Again, dash as quickly as you can to end of the walk. When you reach it, you'll automatically jump onto an outbound tram.
Riding atop the tram, you'll almost immediately be attacked by a squadron of Tie fighters. If the tram takes too many hits, you'll lose. Luckily, the Tie's don't cause very much damage and by now you should be an expert at plucking them out of the air. That's the basic procedure for this section. Pick a fighter, grab it and try to fling it at one of its wingmen.
Boss Fight: The Gunship[edit]
After a time the Tie's will move off and the gunship will return for a more focused battle. The battle is fairly simple but still challenging. To start with the gunship will open up on you with its laser cannons. This will damage the tram only, and cannot be stopped. Let's just hope you kept it in good shape through the course of the Tie attacks. When it finishes this, it will start launching missiles at you. Like those used by the AT-MTs, they can be deflected with a timed block or your force grip. We recommend your force grip because accuracy is key here and blocking them tends to let them slip through more than you'll want. The disadvantage of using your force grip is you can only return one missile at a time, whereas the gunship will cycle through launching anywhere from one to four at a time. If you can consistently return the gunships attacks, the tram should hold out long enough to defeat it.
Defeating the gunship ends the level.

If you enter one of the uniformed services for 30 days or less, your FEHB enrollment will continue without change. Withholdings and Government contributions will also continue, as long as you are in pay status or until your military orders are changed so that your period of duty is more than 30 days.
If you enter on active duty or active duty for training in one of the uniformed services for more than 30 days, you may continue your FEHB enrollment for up to 24 months. Or, you may elect to terminate your enrollment, effective the day before entering active duty.
If you terminate your enrollment, your employing office must promptly process a Notice of Change in Health Benefits Enrollment (SF 2810) to notify your health benefits carrier that you ended the enrollment.
If you keep your FEHB enrollment during military service, you may continue your enrollment for up to 12 months while you are on military duty. You are responsible for the enrollee share of the premium during this period, just like any other employee in leave without pay status. Current Federal law extends the 12-month period an additional 12 months. During this additional period, you must pay both the employee and the Government shares of the premium, plus an additional 2 percent of the total premium, on a current basis.
Your employing office may waive the requirement that you pay your share of FEHB premiums during all or any part of the 24-month period. If your employing office waives the premium, it must remit the full premium (employee and agency share) to OPM on a current basis.
If you are separated to enter on active military service, you are considered to be on military furlough (in leave without pay status) for the 24-month period if you continue to be eligible for reemployment rights under 5 CFR Part 353 or similar authority. You are entitled to continued coverage for up to 12 months in leave without pay status whether or not your eligibility for reemployment rights continues. To be entitled to the additional 12 months of coverage, you must continue to be eligible for reemployment rights.
If you enter military service for more than 30 days, your employing office must give you a notice explaining that your enrollment may continue for up to 24 months and that you are responsible for the employee share of the premiums for the first 12 months and for 102 percent of the premium afterwards. It must also explain that you must notify your employing office in writing if you terminate your enrollment for the period of your military service.
If you elect to terminate your enrollment, it must terminate effective the day you are separated, furloughed, or placed on leave of absence for entering military service. This applies even if part of your military service is covered by paid leave immediately followed by furlough or other leave without pay. You and your covered family members are entitled to a 31-day extension of coverage and to convert to an individual contract.
Back to Top
If you return from military duty after your enrollment terminated, but not in the exercise of reemployment rights, you must (if eligible for coverage) elect to enroll within 60 days after returning to civilian duty, the same as a new employee. You may elect to enroll in Self Only, Self Plus One or Self and Family in either option of any plan available.
If you exercise reemployment rights upon returning from military duty, your terminated enrollment will be reinstated on the Notice of Change in Health Benefits Enrollment (SF 2810), effective on the day you return to civilian duty. Your employing office will show in the Remarks section of the reinstating SF 2810 that a previously terminated enrollment is being reinstated because of return from military service.
Your reinstated enrollment is effective on the day you return to civilian duty (the same date of the restoration action shown on SF 50, Notification of Personnel Action) and is not retroactive to the date you separated from military service. If there is a gap between your separation from military service and return to active civilian duty, there will also be a gap in health benefits coverage because coverage under the Uniformed Services Health Benefits Program generally ends on the day of discharge without any extension of coverage.
If you return to civilian duty in the exercise of reemployment rights, you may change your reinstated enrollment from Self Only to Self Plus One or Self and Family, and to either option of any plan available, within 60 days after you return to civilian service. If you weren't enrolled when you entered military duty, you may enroll within 60 days after your return to civilian service. Your election becomes effective on the first day of the pay period that begins after your employing office receives your completed enrollment request and that follows a pay period during any part of which you were in pay status.
If you exercise reemployment rights upon returning from military duty, you may be eligible to waive reinstatement of your terminated FEHB enrollment and keep your military health coverage (TRICARE) for 180 days after you are demobilized.
Former active duty and Reserve Component members who are eligible for transitional benefits include:
Employees may ask their agencies to postpone reinstatement of their FEHB coverage from the day they are restored to their civilian positions until the day after their transitional TRICARE coverage ends, or any date within this timeframe.
If you die after your Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment was terminated or suspended upon your entry into military service, and your family members are entitled to an annuity or to a basic employee death benefit under the Federal Employees Retirement System, your family members may have the enrollment reinstated effective on the day after your death. Your family members also may change the enrollment just as if you were returning to civilian duty in the exercise of reemployment rights.
If your enrollment was terminated and you:
you may request reinstatement of your enrollment within 60 days after your retirement, regardless of whether you are still on active military duty. If you don't request reinstatement, the retirement system will automatically reinstate your enrollment when your military service ends.
For purposes of eligibility to continue enrollment after retirement, you are considered to have had continuous enrollment if your enrollment terminated for military service and:
If you were ordered to active military duty in support of the Persian Gulf War before September 1, 1995, you weren't required to pay the employee share of premiums if you continued your enrollment while on military furlough (leave without pay). You were eligible if you were called into active military service for at least 31 days and remained on your employing office's rolls in a military furlough status in accordance with the provisions of 5 CFR 353 or similar authority, and your military orders were issued under the authority of section 688 or sections 12301, 12302, 12304, 12306, or 12307 (formerly sections 672, 673, 673b, 674, and 675) of title 10, United States Code.
After 365 days in leave without pay status, these enrollments terminated, subject to the 31-day extension of coverage and conversion rights. Like other terminations of enrollment after 365 days in leave without pay status, there was no entitlement to temporary continuation of coverage.
Federal employees called or ordered to active duty for more than 30 days, can keep their FEHB coverage for up to 24 months. FEHB law allows employees called to active duty to continue their enrollment for up to 365 days while on military duty. Current Federal law extends the period of FEHB eligibility an additional 12 months, during which the reservist is responsible for paying both the agency and employee shares of the premium, plus an additional 2 percent administrative processing fee.
Federal law allows the employing agency the authority to waive the requirement that employees pay their share of FEHB premiums during all or any part of the 24-month period, if eligibility requirements are met. In order to be eligible for payment of the employee's share of the FEHB premium, the employee must:
If the employing agency waives collection of the employee share of the FEHB premium, it must remit the full premium (employee and agency share) to OPM on a current basis.

the graph is not very accurate (or is accurate without the heat sink)
You don't want any gate resistor, you want it to switch as fast as possible to limit losses
I have been safely switching 30A at 12V, and that is also outside the dotted line for DC. The thing is the mosfet does not even get warm (maybe because I have a heat sink on it). This leads me to believe that the graph is not very accurate (or is accurate without the heat sink). Increasing the number of mosfets is certainly an improvement but I am still not sure if that is really needed. This mosfet has impressive characteristics and putting 2 in parallel might be overkill for this application. My question is about the driver. What value of gate resistor do I need for a period of 300ms (again I am NOT PWMing the Mosfet). Essentially the mosfet is acting as a switch that is only on for a period of 300ms
However I am afraid that if I dont put any gate resistor, this thing would blow up too. Share your thoughts.

NFL Injury Updates: Bradford, Cushing, Wayne, Martin out for season; Cutler to miss four weeks
St. Louis Rams quarterback Sam Bradford will have season-ending surgery for a torn ligament in his left knee after getting hurt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-15 loss at Carolina that dropped the Rams to 3-4.
The Rams feared the worst on the return flight and on Monday announced results of an MRI.
Surgery will be done in the next 2-3 weeks once the swelling goes down and Fisher was confident Bradford would make a complete recovery in time for next season.
"Very disappointing," middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "I thought he was putting up a strong season. It's a long grind now for him."
The Rams will be auditioning quarterbacks this week but coach Jeff Fisher said they won't make a trade, which means Clemens is likely set for his first extended opportunity since he made eight starts in 2007 for the Jets.
At his regular day-after news conference, Fisher did his best to dismiss all rumors and said he wasn't "at liberty" to discuss any names. One potential name is Austin Davis, released at the end of training camp.
The Houston Texans lost running back Arian Foster early in the first quarter of their game in Kansas City Sunday, then saw linebacker Brian Cushing taken off the field on a cart in the third quarter. Cushing has a broken leg and a torn LCL, NFL.com reported.
He was hurt late in the third quarter as he was blocked at the line by the Chiefs' Jamaal Charles on a swing pass to the right side. He lay on the field in pain, grabbing his left knee, and was unable to put weight on the knee as he was helped to the cart.
Cushing tore the ACL in the same knee in October of last year and missed the rest of the season, but returned to play late in this preseason and has not missed a regular-season game so far. He reportedly has not re-injured the ACL.
Foster injured his hamstring on the Texans' first possession of the game, on his fourth carry, during a drive that ended in a field goal. Foster, who had struggled with hamstring, thumb and chest injuries all week in practice, did not return
On a night when the Indianapolis Colts welcomed back Peyton Manning, they saw one of his old favorite wide receivers go down at a critical spot. With the Colts trying to protect a 36-30 fourth-quarter lead against Manning's Broncos', Reggie Wayne suffered a right knee injury while attempting to catch a third-and-one pass from Andrew Luck. On Monday, the Colts announced that Wayne will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Wayne had played in 184 consecutive regular-season games before the injury.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain winless at 0-6, and now they may have lost starting running back Doug Martin for the rest of the 2013 NFL season. NFL Network reports the shoulder injury Martin suffered in Sunday's Week 7 loss at Atlanta is a torn labrum that will require season-ending surgery.
However, coach Greg Schiano came well short of saying Martin's season was over. He acknowledged Martin is likely out for Thursday's game agains the Panthers, but he may not be done for the year.
"I'm not going to get into specifics of exactly what his issue is," Schiano said Monday, according to ESPN. "If it was season-ending, I'd let you know. But we don't feel that it is right now. We're just going to play it by ear."
It has been a disappointing Year 2 for Martin after he shined as a first-round rookie in 2012. Martin has rushed for only 456 yards at 3.6 yards per carry so far this season. Last season, he produced 1,926 yards from scrimmage in keeping Tampa Bay in wild-card contention.
Mike James, who took over the bulk of workload when Martin went down against the Falcons, is expected to continue to do so going forward. He will get his first NFL start in Thursday night's home game against the Panthers.
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is out of the intensive care unit after being hospitalized following the scary neck injury he suffered in Sunday's Week 7 home win over Cleveland, and has regained all movement.
The Packers won't know for a while how much time Finley will miss. The injury occured when Finley took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Browns safety Tashaun Gipson while going to the ground making a catch. He was carried off Lambeau Field on a stretcher. Finley's tests were negative, but the severity in terms of playing status has yet to be determined.
Finley, who scored the Packers' opening TD from Aaron Rodgers in the first quarter, took a blow to the head from Gipson when making a reception with 10:22 left in the fourth quarter.
If the Bears plan to remain contenders for an NFC playoff berth, they will need to do it with backups at critical positions on offense and defense. The team announced Monday that starting quarterback Jay Cutler tore a groin muscle in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Washington and will be out at least four weeks. It was also revealed in the same game, that outside linebacker Lance Briggs suffered a small shoulder fracture that will keep him out six weeks.
Cutler was hurt in the first half against the Redskins, and the offense continued to move the ball well with backup Josh McCown. McCown, with decent mobility but limited arm strength compard to Cutler's rifle arm, has a much tougher task keeping Marc Trestman's passing game going at a high level against better, more complex defenses. That includes the next three opponents after a Week 8 bye: Green Bay, Detroit and Baltimore. Expect Chicago to lean even more on running back Matt Forte and the many shorter routes that are staples of Trestman's West Coast attack.
The Philadelphia Eagles are down two quarterbacks. Second-year man Nick Foles left Sunday's Week 7 home game against Dallas at the end of the third quarter after taking a hard hit on a sack by the Cowboys. While the Eagles settled for a field goal for their first points of the game, Foles needed to be evaluated for a head injury.
Foles was making his second consecutive start in place of Michael Vick, who was inactive with a hamstring injury. With the Eagles down 17-3 almost six minutes into the fourth quarter, they had to turn to rookie third-stringer Matt Barkley under center.
The Cowboys defense made it a rough afternoon on Foles (11-for-29, only 80 yards passing, three sacks, 25 rushing yards) in the game after he was named NFC offensive player of the week for his stellar performance in the Week 6 win at Tampa Bay.
Barkley is a fourth-round pick from Southern California. He was in the Eagles' QB competition early for Chip Kelly until it became just Vick vs. Foles. The Eagles are hoping they won't need to go with their greenest passer going forward for more than the end vs. the Cowboys.
Broncos' cornerback Champ Bailey was just making his way back and now he could be done again-maybe for a while.
Bailey re-injured the foot that kept him the entire preseason and all but one game so far this year. He was involved in a tackle on Sunday against the Colts when he pulled away, hopping on one foot.

There are infinite ways to win a woman's heart. In this case, he gave her the world.
Or, to be specific, a world atlas.
Jamie Anderson, 27, had already told her best girlfriend, "I like this guy." But when Tero Lehessalo, 33, gave her an atlas for Christmas in 2010, it became "a huge part" in their developing love story, she says.
First of all, she was surprised and so pleased that he had even thought to buy her a gift. They had been dating just a few weeks.
Then there was the care he had taken to make the present look just right. "It was perfectly wrapped. Probably better than I would have done," she says.
But the clincher was the little notes he wrote on selected pages of her atlas.
There were notations on where he had lived, where they had gone to school. There were also little notes on the pages of the places Jamie and Tero had talked about visiting some day: Australia, the Galapagos Islands, Italy, Bora Bora. He had taken care to mark all of their significant locales — especially on the map of Finland, where he was born and raised.
"I thought that was pretty awesome, and I was pretty giddy over that atlas," she says.
She was so touched that she cried, and "I'm not usually a crier," she says. "I was surprised and happy and (thinking), 'Oh my gosh, this is something so simple but so meaningful.'"
When she traveled from Chicago to her hometown of tiny Bristol, S.D., for the Christmas holidays, Jamie told the story of the atlas to her mom and dad.
"My parents were, 'Who is this guy? He seems like a great person already, and we don't even know him.'"
In fact, the first time Jamie met Tero, in September just a few months before this fateful Christmastime, she came away with "a pretty bad impression of him."
Jamie was meeting her Finnish friend Mary at a Lincoln Park bar, aliveOne, and Mary brought Tero along. "I got a cocky vibe," Jamie says, and she remembers thinking, "I don't care for him."
The following month, at a Halloween party, she was not happy to discover that by sheer chance she and Tero were wearing Greek god and goddess costumes.
Just to be a troublemaker, Jamie's pal Mary — knowing that Jamie was particularly unimpressed by Tero the first time she met him — insisted they pose for photos together.
"When can this be over?" Jamie was thinking. "I definitely wasn't excited about it."
But when about 15 of the partygoers moved on to a Wicker Park bar, "This time he (Tero) was completely different than he was the first time" they met. "So much more talkative, super friendly."
Looking back at their inauspicious introduction, Tero says now, "I just remember, 'Here's a really beautiful girl.' I was, 'OK … I'm not going to start talking to her because she's out of my league.'"
There's a lesson here for couples whose first meetings fizzle. First impressions can be very misleading.
Since that atlas Christmas, Tero and Jamie have been pretty much inseparable. They drove the 10-plus hours to Bristol so he could meet her parents, Deb and Daryll. And they flew to Espoo, Finland, so Jamie could meet Tero's mom and dad, Pipsa and Paavo.
The engagement evolved as they designed a ring for Jamie, fashioned out of stones from two rings her mother had given her, a square-cut aquamarine in the center.
One night after work (she is a media supervisor for outdoor advertising, he works in sales for the shipping firm DHL), Tero got down on one knee in their Lakeview apartment and asked her to marry him.
They were waiting to set a date, but when Tero's parents decided to visit the couple in Chicago, the wedding plans quickly took shape.
Jamie ordered a bouquet of peonies, her favorite, and bought a strapless white dress at Nordstrom. She picked up a tie for Tero at Macy's; she got it in aquamarine (to match her suede platform pumps and the engagement ring).
Jamie's parents and brother came in from South Dakota, and her three best friends (Elizabeth from Florida, Keena from Colorado and Hope from North Dakota) were the bridesmaids at the brief civil ceremony last month in Marriage Court here.
Despite their passion for travel, Jamie and Tero didn't take a honeymoon trip. They're saving that for their first anniversary — perhaps to one of the places Tero marked in that atlas.
There are infinite ways to win a woman's heart. In this case, he gave her the world.

Well, technically I'm writing this on Thursday due to a long plane ride and being far too tired to think about writing on the plane.
Tuesday evening saw a bunch of people gather at the bar in the lobby of the Hilton, then break up into groups as we headed to a Mexican restaurant called 'Gueros' en masse. Being a local Texas boy, Matt had his car and drove us there, and later to Bruce Sterling's SXSW closer party.
Plenty of highlights from the evening. Cliched by now, but there's a brand new mirror shot somewhere out there… (my own were blocked by a fuzzy hat, sadly) I met Cory, only because he thought I was Ev (who I suspect I bear a passing resemblance too, if [as it was] it's dark, and if [as I was] I'm wearing a Blogger T-shirt). Jay is the guy to hang around when the beer runs out. When you leave your iBook in someone else's hotel room, make sure they don't leave the party before you…
Yesterday was a travelling day. Coffee with Molly in the morning, shared a cab to the airport (and ended up stiffing the driver of my earlier cab by 5 bucks due to circumstances beyond my conrol, though he was very gracious about it. That's Texas hospitality for you, what a treat).
Combining cab rides and airport waiting, it took about 8 hours to get back. That would have been far worse if not for a cheerful and helpful United employee in Austin. Instead of being routed through Chicago again, she stuck me on a trip passing through Denver. Despite the one hour delay on the last leg of that trip, I still arrived in Vancouver 2 hours before scheduled landing time of the original plan, and from the sounds of it, at least 3 additional hours more than I would have been delayed going through Chicago.
So I'm back, and it's good to be home. But it was so great to be in Austin. SXSW isn't a conference, it's a party. That's what it felt like; moving from one party to another every day for four days.
Wandering down the street and meeting up with a group of people heading in one direction, taking off with them for a few hours and meeting yet another group heading in another direction, and hopping from event to event the whole time is really a wild experience. When you pack that many people who know or are aware of each other into such a confined space of a few city blocks, there's really no choice but to have one hell of a time.
I'd love to know how this year's SXSW compared to past years, if any veterans want to share their thoughts. If this wasn't one of the best ever, I've been missing out big time.
2:10pm—It's starting to wind down. A few have left already, and we're in the final stages of the panels. (sitting in Jonathan Abrams' keynote at the moment)
Last night were the parties. The Death of WebMonkey party kicked off the night, which segued nicely into the Blogger party, which I left to grab some food with the OK/Cancel guys, who are even funnier in real life. Moved on to a continuation of the WebMonkey party in another venue, and ended the night way too late.
WaSP meetup this morning bright and early thanks to Ian's way-too-early flight out, where I got a killer shot of Simon's prolific Exposé use. To be posted later, along with plenty of other photos (no way to concentrate on processing those at the moment, which explains the lack so far.)
4:19pm—The panel is done! Load off my mind, though thanks to my excellent fellow panelists it was very well received. When talking to a crowd, my tendency is to digress a little too much; the notes format I used today was perfect for me, even though I wasn't convinced ahead of time it would work. In fact, my notes ended up being a mini-essay, so the chances of them showing up on here some time over the course of the next few days is rather good.
Update on the past few days — awards ceremony led into the Fray Cafe, and I'm pretty darned sorry I missed that. Preparation for the panel trumped it unfortunately.
Bright and early the four of us panelists wandered over to Chris and Dan's hotel for a quick head-to-head last minute discussion and a bite, over to the conference centre to speak, and when 10am rolled around it was all us. If anyone took notes, let me know and I'll link 'em up. Otherwise expect the afore-mentioned follow up in due time.
Stuck around for Tantek, Eric, Doug, Brian Alvey and Kimberly Blessing. "CSS Design: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" went very well, and I ended up with a plethora of notes that, also, will be posted in due time. Somebody please tell me the Top Ten Rejected Panel Names is online somewhere!
Lunch with Molly, Eric, and Chris at a great ol' Texas BBQ house. Coffee in the Hilton after, as mentioned below. Off to an interview at the moment, then the Death of WebMonkey party. Onwards!
2:47pm—Downtime. The last 24 hours have been very much a blur. But in a good way, of course.
Somewhat of a summary, while I have the chance. Where did we leave off… after the moblog panel if I recall? So I tried to sit in on the 'Monetizing the Blogosphere' panel by the weblogsinc.com crew, but ended up ducking out to prepare.
The cafe in the Hilton is proving quite the CSS geek hangout; met Tantek and Eric here on Saturday, been back three or four times since, and now we're hanging around in a post-panel lull. We being Chris, Doug, Dan, Eric and I.
So the awards, you say? Yeah, about that. Wow. I'm not sure what can be said, I'm still a bit shocked. I walked home with Best of Show? What? Really? Me?
Surreal. Very surreal. I'm sure my acceptance speech was glib, but it was unexpected and unprepared so I'll take this moment to thank God, my parents, the Academy, and Jill from makeup. Very honoured, very touched.
I won Best Canadian Weblog at the Bloggies too. Very cool! Carole Guevin had to grab my arm and usher me into the trade show area to issue an acceptance speech since I wasn't even around at the time; whoops!
I guess if a tech weblog like this one can win best in the country, that says something about the country itself eh? (gratuitous eh. Topical humour…)
9:40pm—Should be out celebrating, but self-imposed confinment to the hotel so I can Get The Damn Panel Finished before tomorrow morning has effectively clipped those wings.
Celebrating why? Because the Zen Garden took Best Developer's Resource! And BEST OF SHOW! Pinch me.
Tonight, we work. Tomorrow, we drink like men.
4:53pm—Rendezvous is a very cool thing.
Caught one panel on Moblogging this morning. Not that it wasn't interesting stuff, but I managed to tune out and get some work done. Tried for a second one, but ditched it in favour of working on the panel presentation.
More highlights of the day so far: lunch with Ian and Ethan, grabbing Jamba Juice with Dan, discussing CSS ripoffs with Doug, and now a moment of peace.
SXSW Awards are tonight, followed by the Fray Cafe immediately afterward. I'm really looking forward to the latter. More later this evening.
11:35am—In Moblog Nation: You Can Take It With You until 12:30pm. Catch me on Rendezvous or email me if you want to get lunch then.
9:50am—Sitting in the hotel madly preparing what I should have been madly preparing at least a week ago. In the meantime, I forgot to post the notes from Veen's panel! There were three speakers and a moderator, but I found Veen himself most absorbing. This is only a fragment, but you get the idea. No surprises here, all good stuff.
- early web, as told to designers:
- new mindset
- forget typography, you can make it, you know, bold and italic. that's about it.
- images are pretty crap (low compression/color)
- take a square, 800x600, that's your screen. maybe
- veen doesn't care about the bad designers anymore, doesn't work with them
- old designers shaken out by the crash, new designers are making it now
- "Must be great Jeff, that you can do that" says the skeptic, wistfully
- business case: good design accessibility standards
- he works from wireframe, with designer, to bring it to browser
- designer: "we won't be able to get that menu to float, with good semantics"
- designer: "we're going to need captions for tables and images, you write them or I?"
- this is being spoken *by visual designers*?!
- they know/expect how differently they look different OS'es and browsers
- know about degradability (some joke about Netscape, missed it…)
- Taking things for granted that are very good things, very web-spirited
- Simple markup, easier to maintain, less cost to serve, work cross-platform
- work better in Google, more accessible for everyone on the web
- easy to make a business case for this
- doesn't care about accessibiltiy, cares about good design
- when good design is practiced like a craft, accessibility just comes out of it
- case studies: wired news, stop design
- question: what browsers? NN4? showed Wired with upgrade notice, that's a good way around it
- cinnamon.nl, showed skip nav link, tried opening in JAWS, no luck (network error)
- (DS: pronouncing WCAG as "wuh-kag" is really awkward)
- veen: sprintpcs.com — shown in NN4, some tables for layout
- how do you get from an old-school huge enterprise site, to where you need to be
- veen: most complete redesigns are disasters (disruptive to users, not on time)
- all for incremental design unless it's so bad you have to start from scratch
- chisholm: prioritize; start from the top, most important issues, then pick off low-hanging fruit
12:30am—I tried. I honestly did. When you're the only one with an iBook whipped out amongst a group of 11 people or more, you just can't get much writing done.
Back at the hotel and finally have a chance to write up all this. There's absolutely no way I can even summarize today, let alone the experiences. For my own future record, here's a rough and skin-deep order: registration, wandering 6th alone, running into Bausch and Haughey, having breakfast at the Mexican greasy spoon, wandering to Kick, seeing familiar faces, wandering to the café in the Hilton and meeting the faces behind the names that I've been talking to for ages. I owe Ethan an Americano. Having lunch, discussing Atkins, hosting, and secret projects. Quick jaunt to the hotel to pick up le iBook. Mad dash back to catch Veen's panel. IM'ing Ethan from two rows back. Meeting Molly. Getting on Anil's case about MT3.0. Getting answers! Getting drinks and appies with a lot of now-familar names and faces. Meeting even more at the combined css-discuss/WaSP/webdesign-l/whatever meetup. Moving to the SXSW welcoming party. I'm sorry, but the dancing girls and the Spanish accents and the serious thundering passion of what was supposed to be a cheeseball opening act made my night. Still laughing. Wandering to the Omni. No one there. Took the chance to catch up, but only for a bit; Nick Finck and the Clip 'N Seal guy and I ended up finishing the evening over Chinese food. Back in hotel.
Here's just a big old list of some of the other cool people I've met so far, because it's impossible to keep track of when and how, and it probably won't matter at the end of the weekend anyway. The people are important, not the details.
Jeff Veen, Molly Holzschlag, Nick Finck, D. Keith Robinson, Anil Dash, Ian Lloyd, Josh Williams, Carole Guevin, Brian Alvey, Jason Calacanis, Michael Schimdt, Adam Greenfield, Nick Finck, Simon Willison, Sam Ruby, Leonard Lin, James Craig, Christopher Schmitt, uh, and a whole lot more. <link rel="met"> indeed.
Everyone is exactly as I imagined them. I have another 3 days here with these great people. Wow. Best $185,000CDN I ever spent.
3:30pm—Made it. At the panel, random chance had me sit down beside, straight from Aus, Ian Lloyd. What luck!
3:05pm—Running, running to catch Veen's panel. More soon. Things are finally starting to go right.
3:00pm—Recovered finally. Still on west coast time, so getting up at 10am here was early for me, but I'm falling behind. Ran to the conference center, spent about 10 minutes standing around feeling completely lost. Info booth? Thank you, tell me what the hell I'm doing please.
Got it sorted after false starts and confusion (as if there's any other way). Grabbed a badge, so the next challenge was breakfast. Running on steam at this point, hadn't had a meal in 20 hours. Wandered 6th St/Ave., wasn't feeling the love.
Bumped into Matt Haughey and Paul Bausch, found a greasy spoon Mexican eatery and got fed. Problem solved. I owe Matt a meal. ("Canadian money is no good here?" Who knew!?)
Wandered down to the Kick game. Baseball with a big ass rubber ball I guess? Never really figured it out. Matt Mullenweg and Ethan Marcotte and I took off and met up with the CSS crew madly constructing their panels, of which I should have been a part due to my complete lack of preparation but wasn't due to my leaving the iBook back at the hotel. Saw Doug Bowman again, and met for the first time Eric Meyer, Tantek Çelik, Christopher Schmitt and Anitra Pavka. Had lunch with 'em all.
2:00am, Austin—Here. Checked in. Going to bed. Adjusted for time, that makes 17 hours and a single meal all day. Does not bode well for attitude tomorrow.
On the bright side, ran into some other folk attending and even managed to score a ride from the airport. Thanks Andrew and Allison!
5:00pm, Chicago—For future reference: entirely inadequate amount of tray space for an iBook when the person in front of you reclines.
In Chicago. Waiting for layover. Catching up. No wireless. Nothing much to do. Another update on the ground in Austin.
9:15am, Vancouver—I cleared customs. That's a good sign. I'm typing offline in the US Departures terminal in Vancouver at the moment. Wireless is available, but it's not free, and I'm already paying the company (Telus) for some of my residential services. Thanks, but no thanks.
The trip takes me to Chicago this afternoon, where I change planes for Austin after a three hour layover. Which means the entire day is shot. There weren't many better options, either — when your choices are Chicago, Atlanta, or Seattle and Denver for layovers, you take what you can get.
James Craig says it's going to rain all weekend. I live in Vancouver, the Seattle of Canada. This isn't going to be a problem.
So far I've spent the past hour catching up on my news feeds and email. My new (old) find for this week: NetNewsWire. I finally bit the bullet and picked up a real aggregator, instead of relying on the blo.gs notification service. It served me well, but I won't be going back. The upshot to all this has been that I grabbed my feeds this morning before I left, and have enjoyed reading all of you offline. Cheap thrills.
My long-standing problem with newsreaders has been synchronization; when you work on two computers, keeping track of what you've read over what you haven't makes it too much of a pain. When you're primarily using only a single system, problem solved. There are server-side aggregators that take care of that, but I never bothered.
Off to get some real work done. Another update in Chicago.

On Thursday, Knicks star Carmelo Anthony said what everybody knew; that he would love to have Hornets guard Chris Paul in a Knick uniform.
"If it works out and he comes here and they allow him to come here, you'll see a smile from ear to ear," Anthony said, according to the New York Post. "It's not just me. It's everybody [in New York]. If he decides to leave New Orleans and goes somewhere else, they'll be feeling the same way I'm feeling."
Isn't this why we are having the lockout? Cause owners do not want players recruiting each other and joining up in big markets? I love Melo as much as the next fan but this is not the time for him to be saying things like this. Also I do not really see the reason for saying this. Everybody knows that he would like to join up with Chris Paul. Everyone knows about the infamous Melo-LaLa wedding where Paul made a toast to a big three in New York (along with Amar'e Stoudemire).
Obviously I would love to see a big three with Paul also. Whether or not it would be best for the team would have to be decided by the roster and pieces around them but either way it would be entertaining and the team would have a great chance to be great. I really do not get why Melo said this at this time, probably the worst possible time to make comments like this, and I do not think it is necessary to say that in public. Everyone knows that, why say it? Telling it to a New York paper is not going to make it happen or heighten the chances of it happening so why say it? I love Melo but I think it would be just best if he keeps this Chris Paul stuff on the DL. You know, since there is a lockout going on where the fight is about superstars changing teams it is probably best to just not say the free agent stuff. Just saying…Follow @tarmosino

DeCock: No complaints this year from ACC, Triangle's teams
A year after the ACC and the Triangle's teams compiled a relatively long list of gripes against the NCAA tournament committee, there won't be much complaining this time around.
N.C. State made it into the field, successfully playing the scheduling game to beat out Southern Methodist and California and Minnesota and Green Bay for a spot in Dayton, wildly surpassing the preseason expectations for the Wolfpack.
After its win over Duke on Sunday in the ACC championship game, Virginia was given a No. 1 seed, avoiding the snub Miami suffered last year when the Hurricanes won both the regular-season and tournament ACC titles and were bumped to a No. 2.
With N.C. State squeaking in, the ACC sent six teams to the tournament, perhaps not as many as its coaches or athletics directors would like but not a discouraging number in the first year of the 15-team conference.
Duke got to stay close to home in Raleigh, albeit as a No. 3 seed in what appears to be the most fearsome quadrant of the bracket along with undefeated Wichita State, Louisville and Michigan.
While North Carolina slid to a No. 6 seed, the Tar Heels will appreciate the extra day of rest going to a Friday-Sunday site in San Antonio. Most important, they avoided NCAA tournament bete noires Kansas and Creighton, after having to face the Jayhawks in Missouri the past two years.
And N.C. Central, in its first-ever tournament appearance, was given a respectable No. 14 seed, setting up a potential matchup with the Tar Heels if both teams advance. The Eagles, having played at Wichita State and Cincinnati and won at N.C. State, will not be intimidated by Iowa State.
That's a full plate, for the ACC and the Triangle. All told, not a bad haul, with all four Division I teams making the tournament when 17 states (with a total of 69 teams) were shut out entirely, including Illinois, Indiana and New Jersey.
In the end, the selection committee respected N.C. State's nonconference schedule and the general strength of the ACC at large, with Pittsburgh receiving a No. 9 seed as well.
That's how Mark Gottfried set up the Wolfpack's schedule when he arrived at N.C. State, and he followed that path this season even with a young team that was almost completely retooled around T.J. Warren.
"The selection committee has asked you to play a tough nonconference schedule, take your team on the road, which we did at Cincinnati our second game," Gottfried said Saturday. "Went to Tennessee and won. I think our league is a great league. I hope we don't get penalized with our record in the league."
The Wolfpack was not.
Nor was Virginia, which had bad losses to Green Bay and Tennessee but was still recognized for its work in conference play, beating all 14 of the other ACC teams and sweeping the titles.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had bigger issues on his mind after his team's loss Sunday, but he argued forcefully on behalf of the ACC on Saturday, saying it deserved at least as many teams in the tournament as the Atlantic 10. (ACC commissioner John Swofford, currently negotiating with the Atlantic 10 for the rights to Brooklyn's Barclays Center in 2017, must have cringed at Krzyzewski's choice of head-to-head comparison.)
The A-10 got six bids. The ACC got six bids. Mission accomplished, at least in terms of selection. Now, on to what really matters.
The ACC hasn't had a team in the Final Four since 2010, its longest drought since 1958-61. If it really wants more respect on Selection Sunday, ending that skid is the best way to get it.

The Weekend Dish: 1/8/2011
Welcome back to The Weekend Dish, which was on a little hiatus last weekend due to the holidays. I gave myself a bit of a vacation so I wasn't scouring blogs for new recipes as I normally do, and I spent last weekend preparing for, attending, and then recovering from Winter Classic activities (which you can read about here). But, things are getting back to normal around these parts, so I bring you the first Weekend Dish of 2011! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and enjoyed the company of friends and family.
Before we get to the normal Weekend Dish stuff, there was one post from last week that I wanted to highlight in case you missed it: The Best of Brown Eyed Baker in 2010: The Top 20 Recipes. It's my annual New Year's Eve post highlighting the recipes that received the most traffic during the year, as well as 10 of my favorites that didn't fall into the high-traffic category. It's always fun to see which posts made the list!
Now as always, you'll find a recap of what was posted to the site this week as well as some bookmarked recipes from other blogs. Enjoy!

City is listening, but not to threats
By Mayor Nancy Gardner
There are a lot of people in our city who, because they don't have docks, haven't paid that much attention to the proposal to raise fees for those docks. However, the threat of those dock owners to boycott the Christmas Boat parade by not putting up lights on their houses or participating with their boats generated a lot of attention.
How did it come to pass?
Over the past two years, the city has taken up a chore that has been too long put off – making sure the city is in compliance with its own ordinances and state law by charging fair market value for private use of public waters. Some of the dock owners are unhappy, and thus the proposed boycott.
Apart from the obvious unhappiness anyone feels when asked to pay more, the dock owners are unhappy with the way the new fee has been determined.
How was it done?
The city had two appraisals, which came within five cents of each other. We split the difference, and then we made it more user-friendly. Instead of going property line to property line, as suggested by the appraisers, we reduced the area to be charged to the dock space plus a "tie-up" area around the dock.
The dock owners have also complained that the city is trying to throw the entire financial burden of harbor maintenance solely on their shoulders.
This is just not so.
Federal and state dollars have supported the lion's share of the dredging. Millions in city general fund dollars help maintain the harbor every year. This will continue, because the increased fee revenues will never cover the actual costs.
Finally, and probably the major impetus behind the boycott, they feel the city isn't listening.
If the only definition of listening is complete capitulation, then I guess we haven't, but we have made a number of changes to the initial proposal as a result of dock owners' suggestions (extension of the phase-in, cap on CPI, changes in the way docks are measured, insurance requirements, etc.) To my mind, that's listening.
I'm sorry if the dock owners go through with the boycott. It will cause real financial harm to the restaurants and other businesses that look to the Boat Parade for a good shot of revenue, and it will cause this pain for naught because the council will do what it feels is the right and legally required thing to do for all the residents of the city, despite the threat.
Nancy Gardner is the mayor of Newport Beach.
Until city negotiates, lights out for festival
By Bob McCaffrey
First off, thanks to everyone who emailed, made phone calls, or attended last week's City Council meeting. It was a packed house, and not a single speaker supported the Dock Tax.
Long story short, the council continued the hearing to Dec. 11 at 4 p.m. in the new, $150 million City Hall next to the Central Library. The council made minor revisions to the Dock Tax, but nothing to substantively change the amount of new tax you will have to pay. We continue our vigorous opposition to this blatant money grab.
I find it ironic that we are about to be assessed a massive new tax in the most expensive city hall ever built in Orange County.
It is unfortunate that neither the city nor any council members have reached out to talk to us – instead I anticipate a cram-down on Dec. 11.
Since they don't want to talk we are sadly organizing a boycott of the 104th Christmas Boat Parade and Festival of Lights.
Every year we joyfully spend thousands of dollars to decorate our homes and boats for over 1 million visitors to enjoy. We voluntarily spend this money so that children and adults alike can experience this special city that we cherish.
We are happy that the city of Newport Beach receives tax dollars from the packed restaurants and charter boats during the parade. Fashion Island is full, hotels are sold out, our friends at the Chamber of Commerce profit, and families from throughout Southern California see our beautiful community.
But the parade and Festival of Lights do not happen if we turn off the switch.
We thoroughly understand the ramifications of this boycott on our business community, residents, and visiting tourists. This is not a cavalier decision – we realize it will have an economic impact. This is a decision born out of frustration with our city government that has chosen to treat its residents in a high-handed manner.
Our right to boycott the Christmas Boat Parade is fundamental in our great republic. We choose to exercise this right until this City Council decides to sit down and have a reasonable conversation.
Until then, the lights are out.
Bob McCaffrey is chairman of Stop the Dock Tax.
Don't count us out, we're on your side
By Richard Leuhrs
The Newport Beach City Council continued the discussions on the matter of tidelands fees at its meeting last week. This time, the focus is on private residential dock owners around the bay and a staff proposal which, once again, proposes fair-market-value increases in the fee paid to the city for the use of private docks located over public property.
The Chamber continues to be concerned with the increases being imposed on a variety of Tidelands users. Now, like the mooring owners, the marina owners, and other businesses around the Harbor, the residential dock owners are being asked to bring the fees they pay into line with fair market value. This despite the fact that these bayfront homes are being assessed a higher property tax as a result of the privately built and maintained docks in front of their homes. The homeowners believe that they are already paying a higher tax for their docks in higher assessed valuation and resultant property tax, of which the city receives a portion.
The Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce maintains its original position; we understand the need for fee increases in order to maintain the harbor. However, we wish to support the Tidelands users and confirm that we believe there is a fair and rational rent adjustment, which can satisfy the city's desire to charge fair market rent for the use of the tidelands but at the same time remain sensitive to the taxpayers and soften the impact of the significant rent increases, particularly during these difficult economic times.
We are also concerned about a recent initiative by the tidelands users to use the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade as a tool to convince the City Council not to raise these fees. We find it unfortunate that the initiators of the proposed boycott would use this long-established, all-volunteer community holiday tradition to express their frustration, when the proposed boycott would only serve to harm their neighborhood businesses, many of whom have just been handed a significant increase in tidelands fees themselves.
We continue to believe these increases will have a long lasting effect on the important economic balance necessary in our Harbor. We urge the City Council to consider the cumulative impact these increases are having on our local businesses, dock owners, and the boating community.
Richard Leuhrs is president and CEO of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce.

A Monterey resident shot a suspected burglar in his Sylvan Road home Thursday, Monterey County sheriff"s deputies said.
Resident Bruce Robertson told Monterey County sheriff"s deputies he heard a knock on his door about 11 a.m., but ignored it and went downstairs. When he heard the rear sliding door opening he walked back upstairs and encountered a man standing at the top, deputies said.
The resident shot the suspected intruder, identified by deputies as Ivan Stubbs, 53, of Salinas, who was taken by ambulance to Monterey Regional Airport and airlifted to a San Jose trauma center. Sgt. Brian Pickens said Stubbs was in critical condition Thursday afternoon.
The shooting occurred in the 1200 block of Sylvan about a quarter mile south of Santa Catalina School.
Crime scene detectives arrived at the scene about noon.
"It"s unusual to have a crime like this occur in this area," said Chuck Monarque, chief deputy of operations at the Sheriff"s Office. "This is a very quiet area, low crime rate. So for something like this to occur, it"s significant for us and for the neighborhood as well."
Deputies believe there was a second intruder.
Deputies questioned golfers at nearby Del Monte Golf Course, where one person reported seeing a suspicious man cutting through the course. The second man was wearing a blue shirt and possibly white shorts, said Monarque. Stubbs had arrived at the house in a 2001 Honda Odyssey van, deputies said.
Cal Fire, Monterey and airport fire departments assisted in the investigation.
"It"s really been a good team effort," Monarque said.
