Hall of Famer Stan "The Man" Musial dead at 92
Stan Musial was known simply as "The Man."
That's where the Hall of Famer stood in the annals of the St. Louis Cardinals, the National League's most successful franchise.
Musial, 92, died Saturday, the second baseball icon to pass away in less than 24 hours. Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver died early Saturday morning.
Musial was a three-time MVP, 20-time All-Star and seven-time batting champion in his 22 seasons with St. Louis, the only team he played for. He finished his career with a .331 batting average and 475 home runs, earning him first-ballot election to the Hall of Fame in 1969.

Musial died at his suburban St. Louis home. A cause of death was not immediately announced. Musial had battled Alzheimer's disease in recent years and was under hospice care.
"Stan Musial was the greatest player in Cardinals history," said William DeWitt Jr., chairman of the team, "and one of the best players in the history of baseball."
Musial retired in 1963 as the all-time National League leader in games, runs, hits, doubles and RBI. He remained the NL hits leader until passed by all-time major league leader Pete Rose.
He became a team vice president for the next 25 years. He also was general manager in 1967, when the Cardinals won the World Series with close friend and former teammate Red Schoendienst managing.
In addition to his excellence, Musial was clearly St. Louis' most popular player. He was so revered that Albert Pujols, while playing for the Cardinals, resisted the nickname "El Hombre," Spanish for "The Man," calling it disrespectful to Musial.
Musial's nickname actually began in Brooklyn, where fans had become accustomed to Musial's performances against the Dodgers.
Brooklyn pitcher Preacher Roe once said the best way to handle Musial was, "Throw him four wide ones and pick him off first."
"How good was Stan Musial?" legendary broadcaster Dodgers Vin Scully once said. "He was good enough to take your breath away."
Condolences and tips of the cap began pouring in Saturday. Pujols tweeted, "My prayers are with the Musial family tonight. I will cherish my friendship with Stan for as long as I live. Rest in Peace." And former pitcher Curt Schilling tweeted, "Thank you Mr Musial, your life was a clinic in respect, integrity and honor. The game is better for having you. RIP"
Musial was born and raised in Donora, Pa., just south of Pittsburgh, and started his pro career by signing a contract as a 16-year-old with the Cardinals' Class D farm team in nearby Monessen. His father, who worked in the local steel mills, wanted Stan to accept a basketball scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. Less than four years later, he was in the major leagues.
He pitched then, as well as playing the outfield, but his pitching career ended when he hurt his shoulder diving for a ball in the outfield while still in the minors. That left him with a less-than-average throwing arm, the only dent in his physical resume, but he still handled all three outfield positions and first base, learning a quick release to make up for the strength his arm lacked.
The left-handed Musial's batting stance was unique, very closed with his right foot much closer to the plate than his left. Hall of Fame pitcher Ted Lyons said it was "like a kid peeking around the corner to see if the cops are coming."
But Musial insisted the stance allowed him to reach outside pitches.
Who could argue with the results.
He never struck out more than 46 times in a season and that was as a 41-year-old in 1962, his next-to-last season. In 1948, his best season, Musial had more homers (39) than strikeouts (34). He also led the NL that season in batting, runs, doubles, triples, total bases, RBI, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
"Once Musial timed your fastball, your infielders were in jeopardy,'' Hall of Fame left-hander Warren Spahn said.
Carl Erskine, a 20-game winner with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1953, liked to joke about how difficult it was to get Musial out.
"I've had pretty good success with Stan by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third,'' Erskine said.
Musial demanded excellence from himself. "Unless you give it all you've got, there isn't any sense in playing," he said.
He was so disappointed when he hit a career-low .255 in 1959 that he asked the Cardinals to trim his salary from $100,000 to $80,000. Musial made about $1.3 million in his entire career, less than about half the current Cardinals will make this season.
The Cardinals retired Musial's No. 6 on Sept. 29, 1963, the day of his last game, and erected a statue in his honor outside the second Busch Stadium in 1968.
The inscription on the statue's pedestal quotes Commissioner Ford Frick's words when Musial retired: "Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight.''
The statue, which depicts Musial in his hitting stance, was moved next to the current Busch Stadium before it opened in 2006.
Musial was an accomplished harmonica player – he used to play at the yearly Hall of Fame induction ceremonies – and became a successful businessman even before his playing days were over. In 1949 he and business partner Julius "Biggie'' Garagnani opened a restaurant in downtown St. Louis called "Stan Musial and Biggie's.''
Musial received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011, when President Obama said, "His brilliance came in blinding bursts. Stan Musial made that brilliance burn for two decades."

AMERICUS, Ga. – With fading hopes of qualifying for the Peach Belt Conference Tournament, the Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes were looking to fight to improve those glimmering hopes. The visiting Francis Marion Patriots were having none of it as they silenced the Hurricanes bats and took both games from GSW 7-0, 2-1. The pair of losses seals the post season fate for the Blue & Gold as they are officially eliminated from the conference tournament.
GAME ONE: Georgia Southwestern-0 Francis Marion-7
FMU starting pitcher Kayla Ellingsen kept the Hurricane bats at bay for the entire game. Ellingsen would pitch the seven-inning complete game shutout scattering seven hits giving up no walks and striking out eight batters.
While FMU's starter was shutting down GSW's hitters, GSW's ace Jessica Martin struggled to combat the Patriot lineup. Martin wouldn't get out of the third inning after giving up four runs (two earned runs) on two hits while walking five hitters.
After opening the second inning with her only strikeout, Martin would walk one batter and hit the next to set herself up for trouble. Another walk and hit batter would be compounded by a defensive error that handed Francis Marion three easy runs in the inning with Sara Broderick earning two RBI's in the inning.
The three-run lead would be increased by one run in the fourth courtesy of a passed ball. The handful of runs would be more than enough for the Patriots' Ellingsen who would retire the GSW side in order in two of her seven innings pitched.
The Patriots would tack on three more insurance runs in the sixth inning as they would batter GSW reliever Casey Burns for three runs as three different Patriots recorded RBI's in the inning.
After failing to reach base in game one, sophomore Mason Moreland ends her streak of 20 consecutive games where she has safely reached base.
GAME TWO: Georgia Southwestern-1 Francis Marion-2
After receiving a pitching gem in game one from Kayla Ellingsen, Francis Marion would receive another complete game gem from their staff. This time it was Taylor Luff who would stifle the offense of Coach Ward and company.
Luff, the sophomore, would no-hit Georgia Southwestern through the first four innings on her way to the complete game victory. She would throw seven innings, surrendering one earned run on two hits with eleven strikeouts. Luff would win the pitching showdown over GSW's starter Katie Maddox who also pitched well in a complete game performance.
Maddox would go seven innings conceding six hits, two runs (one earned) to keep the FMU hitters in check. The senior would fall victim of a lack of run support and would take the loss in the decision.
Francis Marion would score one of their two runs in the first inning off of Maddox. Sara Broderick would open the game with a single, and she would score two batters later when Tristan Faile would hit a double to left center. It was an early blemish for Maddox who would retire the side in order in the next two innings and not surrender another run until the sixth inning.
It would be Tristan Faile again to drive in FMU's second run of the game. She would hit a double past a diving Janna Anderson as she and Ashley Jaramillo would advance an extra base as the ball was misplayed in the outfield by Rachel McElroy. The error by the GSW outfielder would allow Jaramillo to score.
The Lady Hurricanes would keep it interesting in the home half of the sixth inning as they would cut the two-run Patriot lead in half. After Janna Anderson opened the inning with a walk, Gabby Buck would drive Anderson in with a long single to left center. It would be as close as the Blue & Gold would come in game two.
The Lady Hurricanes were unable to score a tying run in the bottom of the seventh inning as Taylor Luff would strike out all three GSW batters to shut the door on the game.
The pair of losses sets the Georgia Southwestern record to 21-29 (3-15 PBC), and it officially eliminates them from the conference tournament. This means the Lady Hurricanes will play their final two games of the 2012 season tomorrow (Sunday) against UNC Pembroke. It will be Senior Day as Katie Wooten, Jessica Chewning, Jessica Martin, Casey Burns, Katie Maddox and Gabby Buck will all play their last games in the Georgia Southwestern uniform. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

It contains products derived from milk and soy. May contains traces of gluten.
Sports supplements with sweeteners. Sports supplements should not be taken as a substitute for a balanced diet. Sports supplements should be kept out of reach of children. Do not exceed the daily recommended dosage.
What is the correct dosage of ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS?
The appropriate dosage should be from 2 to 4 30g, that is one measure from the dosifier, doses/shakes of the product per day. On the labels the doses are concentrated because of the difficulty that many athletes would have in dividing such intakes up.
Why are ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS better than other proteins on the market?
ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS have the following characteristics which are different in comparison with other sports supplements:
- The percentage of protein that is shown on the labels, in fact, you can check on our web site www.powergym.com where you will find the analysis which shows it.
- The Chemical Index of these supplements is very high and, along with its great digestibility, the quality is superior.
- We use proteins that have hardly been denatured at all in our sports supplements. They contain important biological protein micro-fractions that are very important for athletes. These influence or improve immunity, protein and iron absorption or muscular growth.
- They are protein sports supplements that are very effective and also very complete, something which differentiates them from the majority found on the market, they contain l-Glutamine, ZMA (Zinc and Magnesium) and antioxidants like vitamin C, E or selenium which improve regeneration and muscle growth and recovery.
- Solubility is very good, they can be dissolved in a glass of water with a spoon and, even more importantly, they are very easily digested.
- Our sports supplements don't contain any dopants, proof of which is that a sporting organisation with the renown of the C.A.R. – Centro de Alto Rendimiento (High Performance Centre) in Sant Cugat, Barcelona, Spain, uses them for energy supplementation for their professional athletes.
Do ISOWHEY 100 AND WHEY PLUS have to be taken after training to be effective?
What is clear from recent scientific studies is, for protein synthesis to occur after exercise (recovery period) proteins or amino acids and insulin need to be present. After exercise and for the rest of the day, our organism needs a high aminoacidemia (level of amino acids in the blood) to recover and increase muscle mass effectively.
Why are the market prices of proteins so different?
The production process, the origin or protein source, the actual protein percentage, its aminogram and the absence or presence of undesirable substances (fats, carbohydrates, mineral and metallic traces etc.) all determine its qualitative and nutritional characteristics, such as digestibility, level of denaturalisation, solubility and flavour, chemical indices and presence of micro-fractions.
All of these factors affect the quality and price of a protein sports supplement.
Much of the time cheap, low quality proteins, don't adequately meet the nutritional dietary needs of an athlete.
It is important to source products from reputable suppliers with good references which can provide security from doping substances in sports supplements. With these sports supplements you can improve your sports nutrition.
What are low molecular weight micro-fractions and why are they important?
Low molecular weight micro-fractions, or bioactive peptides, are short sequences of amino acids or peptides which are inactively hidden in a protein and which can be released to act as physiological modulators during the digestive process, either locally in the intestine or systemically.
These bioactive peptides are only present in lightly denaturised proteins such as those contained in ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS.
These protein micro-fractions can biologically affect the metabolism, the optimisation of physiological functions and performance. Some of these peptides can improve immunity, antioxidant capacity and thus muscular recovery, protein absorption, iron absorption or muscle growth.
Do ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS increase uric acid?
No, those proteins that increase uric acid are those that which contain the the existing cell nuclei in cells coming fro foodstuffs such as meat and seafood.
Foodstuffs which tend to result in uric acid production, are those that contain cellular nuclei, which is where you can find RNA and DNA with nitrogen-based purines of the Adenine and Guanine nucleotides.
The (exogenous) origin of uric acid comes from the metabolic degeneration of the purines contained within foodstuffs. The proteins contained within ISOWHEY 100and WHEY PLUS don't include purines so they don't produce uric acid.
Can ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS be used to reduce body fats?
Yes, especially ISOWHEY 100, which contains significant levels of micro-fractions called Glucpomacropeptides which stimulate the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone produced in the small intestine which, among other things, control the ingestion of foods.
A strategy for sports nutrition which can be very effective for athletes who want to reduce body fats is to have an ISOWHEY 100 shake in combination with a vegetable dish during the evening meal
What quantity of proteins can be eaten in the diet?
A belief exists that high protein diets result in kidney and liver problems, that they increase cholesterol and the excretion of calcium etc. The truth is that a high protein diet in athletes with a high demand for this nutrient and especially if a part of these proteins come from clean sources, that don't contain saturated fats, nor cholesterol, nor purines which can increase uric acid don't cause problems. Not only that; protein rich diets have been studied under close medical supervision and for controlled periods for the reduction of body fat in overweight subjects without resulting metabolic problems. Quite the contrary, they improved triglyceride and cholesterol levels and helped to reduce fatty deposits, both internal (fats related to the organs) and the external deposits, those visible at first sight.
In the case of athletes who have an intense physical regime, protein demand increases substantially when we need to achieve a good recovery and even more so if we are aiming for an increase in muscle mass. In these cases ingestion can be as much as 2 or 2.5g per kilo weight per day.
Which supplement should I choose; ISOWHEY 100 or WHEY PLUS?
Although ISOWHEY 100 and WHEY PLUS contain the same source of proteins, they do have some differences which mean that ISOWHEY 100 is a better protein-rich sports supplement, above all for its protein purity, its extremely low levels of fats and carbohydrates and its greater micro-fractions content, it's not in vain that it is the sports supplement recommended by the C.A.R. - Centro de Alto Rendimiento (High Performance Centre) in Sant Cugat, Barcelona, Spain.
WHEY PLUS can also be an option fort those athletes who don't demand such a high concentration of proteins in their diets.

Travel: 10 Tips for Cruising With Baby
By Gillian Telling
A boat. A walking baby. Stuck at sea for several days. Um, really? If you're anything like me (for the most part, fairly sane), you probably think the idea of going on a cruise with your energetic baby or toddler sounds like a logistical nightmare. Where will the crib go? How will they be able to run around without falling overboard? Where will you buy diapers if you run out? All valid concerns, and ones that literally kept me up at night in the weeks before I set sail from Seward, Alaska to Vancouver on a 1,400 passenger Holland America cruise line.
My husband had to go for work, and was allowed to bring us along. I was excited for my first cruise, but in regards to bringing along baby, I was petrified. I pretty much expected the worst. The trip actually did start out pretty badly—somewhere at Newark airport, in between the TSA testing our milk for explosives and rushing for coffee, we lost our son's beloved Lamby. It was early, we were grumpy, and I resorted to digging through airport garbage cans looking for the thing like a crazy lady. "This trip is going to be torture!" I thought, as I tore through old newspapers and empty soda cans.
So you can imagine I was more than pleasantly surprised to discover bringing baby on board turned out to be a pretty easy way to travel. Ok, so we weren't on the most family friendly itinerary (turns out most toddlers would much rather frolick in the pool with Mickey Mouse than visit eagle sanctuaries in chilly Alaska), but it all turned out to be both simple and fun. It helped that the staff were beyond accommodating, and seemed to take a legitimate interest in our child and his well-being. Upon check in, the travel crib was all set up in our adjoining room, an infant life vest was hung up on the wall, and a towel shaped like a moose sat on the bed. "And will you be needing a babysitter tonight?" they asked us. Why, yes, yes we would! Later, after our son was tucked into bed for the night, one of the guest services workers came over and watched TV in our room while we went off to dinner. The in-room sitter service was $10 an hour, actually cheaper than what we pay at home.
From the first night, our evenings were set—baby went down, sitter came in, and we sped off to have drinks, dinner, and maybe catch part of the evening show or gamble in the casino. At these times, we actually felt like we were on a legit, pre-baby vacation, especially since we got dressed up to go out in the evenings. (I even wore heels. High ones.) But the daytimes were a little harder to structure, and required some creativity on our part. Unfortunately, our baby was too young to attend HAL, the ship's cool looking kids club. (Tip: On Holland America, the kids clubs start at 3 years old, and they also need to be potty trained.) However, they did let us check out some toys, which was great considering we only had room in our luggage to bring a coloring book and some matchbox cars for daily entertainment. We got a giant tub of Legos, and wandered the boat until we found an empty conference room and let the wild child run amok in there for a while once a day. We also took really long regular walks around the deck—the loops felt repetitive, but a couple of whale and dolphin sightings were distracting enough, and it was nice to get fresh air and exercise.
Another great discovery was the rooftop tennis court. It was usually empty, and had glass walls around the sides to ensure tennis balls or little children didn't go over the edges. This was our "safe place" to let our boy run around on deck outside, and we had as much fun gently hitting balls back and forth as he had chasing them down and then throwing them at us. There was also an upper deck, tiki-themed "Teen Club." We did not heed the "No Adults Allowed" warning sign and checked it out one day—it was completely empty of teens and covered with astro-turf, making it a great place to kick a soccer ball around and bang on tables shaped like bongos.

Alfursan Rewards and Recognition
As an Alfursan member you will earn Miles every time you fly with Saudia or SkyTeam Partners and also when you transact with our commercial partners. In this section you will learn to differentiate between Reward and Status Miles, and how they enable you to get your rewards and privileges.
Reward Miles
You earn Reward Miles for every mile you fly with Saudia, SkyTeam partners* and while transacting with the various Alfursan commercial partners. The Reward Miles can be redeemed for free flights, upgrades and other special offers.
You can earn Reward Miles faster with Alfursan Silver and Alfursan Gold membership, by flying premium cabin classes, by enrolling family members, and through special promotions from Saudia, SkyTeam partners and Alfursan commercial partners.
Status Miles
Status Miles are your means of progression through Alfursan membership tiers of Blue, Silver and Gold. You only earn Status Miles when flying with Saudia or SkyTeam partners*. Upgrading to the higher tiers increases the number of benefits and privileges you are entitled to.
Example: The Status Miles you earn in the calendar year 2012 will be valid through to the end of the year, i.e. 31.12.2012. So your qualification to a higher tier for the calendar year 2012 would be based on the Status Miles you will earn through to 31.12.2012
International Sectors
International flights on Saudia and SkyTeam partner airlines earn you International Sectors, which are another means of progressing through the membership tiers. Like Status Miles, these are valid for the calendar year in which you earn them.
Your elevation to a higher tier would be based on how many Status Miles you earn in a calendar year or the number of International sectors flown during the year, whichever is attained first. Therefore, if the qualification criteria from Blue to Silver tier require either 25,000 Status Miles or 20 International sectors, attaining any one of the two criteria would be sufficient to progress to the higher tier.
*Mileage accrual on SkyTeam partner flights is possible only on qualifying fares. For more information on please click here.

Company claims Eyak violated its operating agreement
GTSI has filed suit in a Delaware court to thwart Eyak Technology's $67 million takeover bid.
The suit, filed Sept. 14 in the state's Court of Chancery, hinges on EyakTek's operating agreement and the three-way ownership of the company. GTSI owns a 37 percent stake in the company, while Eyak Corp.'s slice is 51 percent and Global Technology's interest is 12 percent. GTSI asserts EyakTek is in breach of the operating agreement. Eyak Corp. is an Alaska Native Corporation.
Eyak renews merger bid for GTSI
GTSI again rejects suitor's takeover bid
Law360, a business law news service, reported that GTSI's suit contends that "certain major decisions require the approval of 65 percent of the company's members."
Given that formula, GTSI's consent would be required to hit the 65 percent threshold.
That consent doesn't appear to be forthcoming. GTSI has rejected EyakTek's $7-a-share bid, which it termed "grossly inadequate." The company also enacted a shareholder rights plan. In a statement, EyakTek, an Alaska Native-owned small business, termed that plan a "poison pill" and a measure "customarily viewed as a management entrenchment device detrimental to the interests of stockholders."
A GTSI statement said the shareholder rights plan aims to ensure a fair process and is not a move to prevent a sale.
A spokesman for GTSI said the company does not comment on matters before the court. In a statement, EyakTek said it plans to contest GTSI's position.
"While we will not comment on the specifics of the litigation, we believe that the issues raised are without merit and we intend to vigorously contest them," the statement notes. "We believe the most important issue is maximizing the value for GTSI's stockholders, and we are confident that our proposal does that."

Watershed Overview
The Johnson Creek Watershed varies from heavily developed urban areas in the lower and middle reaches (Milwaukie, Portland and Gresham) to rural and agricultural areas in the upper watershed.
The area north of the Johnson Creek mainstem is mostly flat, with large floodplain areas, particularly in Lents. These floodplains are thought to be a remnant of large glacial floods that occurred about 15,000 years ago.
Johnson Creek floods on average every other year. It is one of the last free-flowing streams in the Portland area and provides important habitat for coho and Chinook salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout.
During the last 200 years, people have altered the Johnson Creek watershed in an attempt to reduce flood impacts and to make it easier to develop the land near the creek. In the 1930's the Works Progress Administration (WPA) widened, deepened and rock-lined 15 miles of Johnson Creek in an effort to prevent future flooding. Despite that effort, Johnson Creek has flooded 39 times in the last 60 years.
Current efforts to restore Johnson Creek focus on restoring its natural resource functions. This type of restoration provides flood storage, water quality benefits, and increases fish and wildlife habitat by returning some of the natural historic conditions and functions to the watershed.
Johnson Creek provides important habitat for coho and Chinook salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout. While these species still exist in Johnson Creek and its tributaries, their long-term survival depends on our ability to restore habitat and improve water quality.

Back in May I was part of a photo exhibition called Other People's Houses which reunited the 10 photographers from the 1010 project, this time on the subject of home. When I was shooting mine I started noticing all the cat-themed paraphernalia that I've accumulated (most of which were gifts might I add!), so I thought it would be fun to base my submissions around my "cat things". Obviously I threw one in of the house feline herself, too.
I believe some prints are still available and you can check out the other excellent participants here. Thanks to Vic for bringing us all together again!

BALTIMORE– UMBC women's lacrosse takes on its second nationally ranked opponent of the week when it returns home for America East action against No. 19/18 Albany on Senior Day on Saturday, April 19 at the UMBC Stadium. The Retrievers' five seniors will be honored prior to the noon start. Saturday also marks Fan Appreciation Day on UMBC's campus, which features raffles, discounts on food, moon bounces and prizes.
The Retrievers (7-7, 1-2 AEC) concluded there non-conference slate against No. 7/5 Johns Hopkins on Wednesday. UMBC's defense played tough against the Blue Jays, but a second half run downed UMBC, 10-6. Junior Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) has nine goals in the last three games, including her fourth hat trick of the season on Wednesday against JHU. Semones pilots the squad with a team-best 23 goals and 27 points. She has also registered team-bests in ground balls (36), draw controls (25) and caused turnovers (14).
Sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) is coming off a big week for the Retrievers, having posted one goal and seven assists in a 2-0 week for UMBC. Benzing is the Retrievers' leading distributer, dishing out 16 assists to rank fifth in the America East.
Senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) registered two goals against the Blue Jays, marking her 100th-career point with the Retrievers. Bilney has 22 goals and 25 points on the season. She is one of five Retrievers that will be celebrating their final home game at the UMBC Stadium; joined by Jackie Benson (Nesconset, N.Y./Smithtown East), Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley/Florida), Devan Hibbs (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown West) and Mary Milligan (Edgewater, Md./South River/Anne Arundel CC).
Albany (11-2, 2-1 AEC) is 2-2 in its last four games and is coming off an 18-4 victory against Columbia on Wednesday. Junior Maureen Keggins led the squad with a game-high six points on two goals and four assists.
The Great Danes lead the America East in goals (15.0) and points (20.4) per game. Rachel Bowles pilots the squad with a league-best 4.5 points per game. The red-shirt sophomore has 37 goals and 21 assists on the year. Senior Ariana Parker is the second of three Great Danes that have registered 30 goals. She ranks second on the team in points (40) with 30 goals and 10 assists, while also ranking second in ground balls (24).
Albany holds the slight 7-6 advantage in the all-time series against UMBC. The squads have split their last two meetings, with each team being victorious on their home field. The Retrievers defeated 13th-ranked Albany, 8-5, on their home field on March 24, 2012, while the Great Danes picked up a 9-6 win on April 13 of last season.

A drunk-driving case against a San Diego police detective has mushroomed into an investigation of four other officers who were called to the scene before an official investigation was launched.
The broader probe came to light at a court hearing on Tuesday regarding the case of Det. Jeffrey Blackford. Prosecutors are asking Judge Peter C. Deddeh to compel the San Diego Police Department to turn over internal-affairs files.
Blackford, an 11-year veteran assigned to the gang unit, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he crashed his city-owned car into a roadside utility box early in the morning of Dec. 7. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and a hearing is scheduled March 27.
Blackford crashed his unmarked sedan along Princess View Drive in the Allied Gardens section of San Diego about 12:52 a.m.
Video obtained by U-T Watchdog shows the vehicle spinning out of control before ramming the AT&T utility box, and Blackford emerging from the car moments later, followed by the arrival of other police personnel.
According to a filing by city prosecutors, Blackford did not immediately report the accident. Instead he called two off-duty friends, Sgt. John Iammarino and Det. Daniel Caropreso, and they came to the scene.
View the Video Watchdog minute : DUI Detective
Iammarino later called two other sergeants, William Brown and Christopher Tivanian, the motion states, and asked Tivanian to bring with him a preliminary alcohol screening device.
The formal investigation was not opened until sometime after 2:50 a.m., when another officer was summoned to the scene to initiate the DUI probe, court papers say.
According to Deputy City Attorney Steven Hansen, who was seeking evidence from police investigators, the four officers first called to the scene are under investigation related to the Blackford case.
"We have reason to believe those specific officers are potential criminal defendants," Hansen told the judge.
The Watchdog later asked police spokesman Lt. Kevin Mayer about the statements in court, and he said the department recently sent prosecutors additional cases for criminal review.
"As a result of the Blackford incident, another criminal investigation surfaced and that investigation has been turned over to the City Attorney for prosecutorial review," Mayer said. "Being that it's a case that is under review, it would be inappropriate for us to give out any other information on it."
Gina Coburn, a spokeswoman for City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, declined to discuss if or when charges may be filed against additional personnel.
"We received that report on Friday, March 15," she said. "The matter is under review as stated in court today and we cannot place a time on how long that review might take."
Court records also show Blackford had a blood-alcohol level of 0.09 — just over the legal limit of 0.08 — when it was tested at the scene more than three hours after the crash.
The City Attorney's Office has been seeking information about the earlier screening.
"If they recorded the value of the PAS, that's information that we want," Hansen argued in court.
He said prosecutors were told earlier screenings came back at 0.152 and 0.125.
"There were conflicting accounts" of the results, he said.
Representing the police department, Deputy City Attorney John Hemmerling argued that prosecutors already were given all of the evidence the department collected that pertains to the drunk-driving case.
"All those individuals wrote a report and provided it as part of the criminal investigation," Hemmerling told the judge.
Judge Deddeh declined to order police investigators to turn over additional records.
"I'm not finding that you've shown me cause to review the Internal Affairs reports," Deddeh said.
While Blackford faces criminal drunk-driving charges, he is also the subject of a department investigation that could result in a disciplinary proceeding. He has been on desk duty during the investigation.

Ariel Castro's captive: 'I told him he was a monster'
The first time Ariel Castro raped Michelle Knight, she says, he threatened to smash her face with a pipe if she screamed.
"I didn't scream," she said in an interview with TV's Dr. Phil McGraw. "I just laid there."
Knight's short stature, spiky red hair and lip and nose piercings belie the backbone of a fighter who can teach others how to survive in the worst of circumstances, say mental health experts who work with trauma victims.
In her first public interview, Knight describes in graphic detail how her kidnapper, Ariel Castro, abused her and tied her up "like a fish."
With apparent poise, she described how Castro abducted her while she was lost trying to get to an appointment. He lured her into his house by telling her he had puppies that he would give her. He tied her up in the basement with rusted chains and put a helmet on her head.
Knight was matter-of-fact as she talked about how Castro tied her up after he lured her into the house.
"I was shocked," she said. "I didn't fight him. I was begging him, 'Please don't do this to me.' He said, 'I can't take you back. Then he threw money at me."
Knight said Castro was obsessed with hookers and thought she was a 13-year-old prostitute. She said he was upset when he learned she was 21.
She wept describing the first of many rapes.
As months went by, she said, she reached a point of not caring if she lived or died.
"I hated him," she said. "I told him he was a monster."
She described beatings in her first year when Castro hit her with poles, punched her in the face, choked her with extension cords, raped her repeatedly and caused her to miscarry the first of five pregnancies when he hit her in the abdomen with a barbell.
Psychologists who work with trauma and sexual abuse victims say the Cleveland woman is an example of resiliency.
"She's a survivor," says Charles Figley, professor of disaster mental health at Tulane University and editor of the Encyclopedia of Trauma. He says she took charge during her captivity, bore the brunt of Castro's attacks and survived.
"Now that she's out, she's taking charge again," he says. By telling her story her way, it's clear that Knight doesn't want to be cast as a victim, he says.
"Here's an audiovisual aid of someone who had been a punching bag and here she is standing on her feet," Figley says. "We should sit at her feet and learn from her and ask her to tell us what it is like in hell and teach us to be able to survive."
Knight, 32, was kidnapped in 2002 and kept in Castro's east Cleveland home. The following year, he kidnapped Amanda Berry, 27, who was 16 at the time. In 2004, he abducted Gina DeJesus, then age 14.
Castro chained, tortured, beat and physically and sexually assaulted the women in what has been described in news media reports as a "house of horrors." Berry gave birth to a daughter while in captivity.
The trio escaped May 6 when a neighbor heard Berry scream for help.
Castro pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison. He was found dead in his cell Sept. 3.
Before the interview began, McGraw said Knight pierced her nose and lip as a sign that she's taking control of her life. She was direct and calm during the interview, though she grew tearful when she talked about her son or spoke about a particularly bad beating or the isolation she suffered.
She described a life of physical and psychological torture in which Castro left her naked in winter and chained her by the neck. He blamed her for her miscarriages, berated her and threatened to kill her.
McGraw says he was astounded at how Knight has been able to pull herself together since she was found.
"She's doing amazingly well given what she's been through," McGraw told WKYC in Cleveland. "This is not a woman playing like a victim or feeling sorry for herself. This is a woman who gets offended if you treat her like a victim."
Knight, who suffered the worst of Castro's abuse, was described as his "punching bag" by Cleveland police.
Her history is complicated. Before she was kidnapped, she was estranged from her family and lost custody of her 2-year-old son.
In the seven months since she and the other women were found, she's been the most visible, speaking at Castro's sentencing and making public appearances at various events.
DeJesus and Berry also intend to tell their story. The two plan to write a book with Washington Post Pulitzer Prize winners Mary Jordan and Kevin Sullivan.
Figley says taking bold steps to share their experience in their own way is therapeutic for abuse survivors.
Patricia Saunders, a New York clinical psychologist who works with abuse victims, says in the best-case scenario, Knight is speaking out to help others who've been abused. She says in the worst case, she could be turning to the media for attention in place of a solid support system.
There is no way to tell what Knight's recovery will be like, she says.
"It depends on the person and who's helping them," Saunders says.
But one thing is clear, considering that Knight suffered the worst of the abuse, was estranged from her family and lost custody of her son, Saunders says: "I would want to watch her carefully. ... She's had huge losses."
Saunders says Knight's apparent adjustment since she was found may be genuine and lasting or it can crack at any moment.
"I hope she's in intense treatment because she really needs it," Saunders says.

Window tint laws in California?
Window tint laws in California?
I'm in SoCal. I'd applied 3m crystalline 40 on the side and back and 70 on the front windshield. No issues with seeing out at night. Great results in reducing the temperature inside the car. The laws states you can't have any tint in the front nor side, but the front 70 is light enough where you can't barely notice a tint. The side 40 are not dark enough to cause too much attention. Apply the tint at your own risk.
The front windows need 70% VLT. One of the things you can do is use a film like Ceramic Air Blue 80 which had high IR and UV rejection without running afoul of the VLT requirement.
BTW, this is what I am going - putting Pinnacle in the back windows and hatch and the Air Blue 80 in the front two windows.
Same as not hanging front plate, there is the law and there is the law enforcement. Chances that you get pulled over and giving anything more than a warning is infinitesimally small if you're not under 20 or have tatoos all over your arm. Cops usually have more important things to do. You take your own risk though.
Just be careful on "Tint Tuesdays" They write tickets for tint on this day!
You only need to drive Tuesday with all windows down.
I haven't got myself into trouble yet but Milpitas (where I work) cops are known to be ticket thirsty.
In the state of California, NO TINT is legal on on the front doors, (without doctors prescription)and windshield. That said, every car I have owned I have put 5 (limo) on rear and whatever the lightest available on the front.
It may be annoying but remember, it s a $15 "fix it" ticket if someone gives you trouble. As an extra precaution, should you ever get stopped, roll down the windows but as has been said, most police officers will not stop you. (They may not even know if the front is substantially lighter then the rear)
As a follow up, I found this on the CHP website:
Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.
However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.
Source: http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html
Hope that helps.
No IR exception?
@Brian: IR?
Basically it can be clear to block UV.
Probably shouldn't mention this but: as a person that walks a lot, I hate window tints an wish it were illegal.
It is hard enough to see if a driver is looking my way with untinted windows and is completely impossible with tint.
The real questoin is how much it will cost you if you got pulled over. I did some search it seems in Santa Clara County it's $25 if you fix it and $200 if you don't. I doubt many would remove the tint film to save $200 or so since the chance that you got the ticket is pretty rare.
Was pulled over for going 80 on I-5 somewhere between LA and SF (Santa Clara county?). Cop ended up giving me a fix-it ticket for the front side window and no front plate, instead of a speeding ticket. I have 3M Crystalline 40 on sides and rear and 70 on windshield - he didn't notice the windshield.
The ticket was $50 with proof of correction (both tint and front plate) and $364 with no proof of correction. Luckily, a FOAF is a CHP who signed it off, but I would have just paid the $364 because the 3M tint for the front 2 windows would have cost me ~$200 anyway.
It seems like there is a lot of mis-information and confusion regarding window tinting in California. I am the webmaster for a mobile window tinting service in San Diego, www.AcmeWindowTinting.com
Here are the cliff notes version of California window tinting laws:
1) Windshield tinting, including visor strip is not allowed
2) Front, side windows can have tinting that is clear, transparent and colorless. Factory tinted glass is allowed. However, any aftermarket tinting that is not clear, transparent, colorless is not allowed.
3) California does not allow for medical exemptions to tint laws.
4) Rear, side windows can have any darkness of tinting.
5) Colored or reflective tinting is not allowed.
6) Rear windshield can have any darkness of tinting, but you must have left and right rear view mirrors.
Clear, colorless tinting is a good option. However, most of our customers opt for very light tinting on the front passenger windows, several shades lighter than the rear windows. This contrast makes the front window tinting much less conspicuous.
But if you like to stop for a glass of wine or beer after work, then front window tinting is probable cause to pull you over. And that, can open up a whole other can of worms. Please see our California window tinting laws page. http://www.acmewindowtinting.com/california-window-tint-law/
Happy Electric Motoring!
Michael Puente
In most cases 70% is the legal shade. You do want to use nano-ceramic tint to block out the most heat. I used MotoShield Pro nano-ceramic tint for my Tesla Model 3. New company in the Los Angeles area making a name for themselves. Check out their pretint package for Teslas here: https://www.motoshieldpro.com/product-page/precut-ceramic-tint-film-for-...

This Handbook is a collection of key pages on the Graduate Division web site that outline policies and procedures governing graduate education at the University of California, Santa Barbara. It is intended for use by department chairs, graduate advisors, research advisors, faculty mentors, graduate program assistants, and graduate students. If additional information is needed, please consult the resources available on departmental web sites, as well as other sections of the Graduate Division web site. Also, please feel free to contact the Graduate Division for more information, (805) 893-2277.
Policies and procedures outlined in the Graduate Division Handbook and web site are subject to change upon approval by the Graduate Council and/or Graduate Dean. The University of California separates policy and authority (Graduate Council) from administrative procedure and practice (Graduate Division), but the two are closely linked through the delegation of certain duties to the Graduate Dean. The Graduate Dean in turn delegates some authority to department graduate advisors. The goals of graduate education are thus met through close cooperation among the Graduate Council, the Graduate Division, and department graduate advisors.
NOTE: For the sake of brevity, throughout our web site we refer to "departments" as the primary units that advise and train graduate students. In some cases, schools and programs serve this function, and the policies and procedures described herein apply to these units as well.
The Graduate Division facilitates and coordinates graduate education. We provide student services for all graduate academic and professional programs at the University of California, Santa Barbara. It is our goal to promote academic excellence in graduate degree programs; to foster a diverse and inclusive graduate community of domestic and international students; and to cultivate for all graduate students both an intellectually challenging and socially supportive academic environment.
In cooperation with faculty, students, and staff, the Graduate Division implements academic preparation and recruiting programs to achieve a highly qualified and diverse student body reflective of the state of California and the greater academic community. The Graduate Division provides information about and admission to all graduate programs; administers graduate standards of scholarship and policy as defined by the University of California and the Graduate Council of the UC Santa Barbara Academic Senate; and encourages the development and success of students through workshops, training activities, counseling, and initiatives which promote timely degree completion. The Graduate Division also administers internal and external funding sources for students and programs; administers UC and campus policies concerning graduate academic apprentice appointments. Participating in the development and review of new and current graduate academic programs, the Graduate Division supports departmental initiatives to advise, train, and place graduate students in academic and professional positions.
The Graduate Division is committed to excellence in academic innovation, collaboration, and exploration in UC Santa Barbara graduate education.

Appropriate conditions and opportunities for learning are important measures of the quality of an educational institution. The university assumes a number of essential responsibilities in order to achieve academic excellence and to preserve the ideals of academic freedom for students. As members of the academic community students similarly accept certain responsibilities.
The primary purposes of a university are to produce new knowledge and to share knowledge acquired from others. These purposes can be achieved only when intellectual property rights are recognized by everyone within the university. Thus academic integrity is essential; university citizens must take responsibility for their own work and give credit when using the work of others.
One effective way for an individual to maintain academic integrity is to accept and follow a code of honorable conduct. The Honor Code authored by the Academic and Leadership Development Committee of the Student Association is one such code:
As a student at Saginaw Valley State University:
I am committed to upholding a high standard of academic integrity in all of my work, inside and outside of the classroom. Out of respect for my peers, professors, institution, and self, I will complete all tasks honestly and to the best of my ability.
I am guided by my conscience as I work toward my educational and professional goals, and I expect my fellow students to practice that same moral judgment.
I take pride in my academic accomplishments and therefore will not give or receive unauthorized assistance on any assignment, project, exam, or other university requirement.
I seek to maintain the honor of a Saginaw Valley State University degree, and I will preserve its value throughout my professional career.
Academic integrity is undermined whenever one is dishonest in the pursuit of knowledge. Dishonesty takes many forms, including cheating, plagiarism, and other activities for undermining the educational process:
Cheating occurs whenever one attempts to gain an advantage through violation of rules regarding the relevant behavior. It should be assumed that collaboration is cheating unless explicitly authorized.
Plagiarism involves intentionally or unintentionally presenting another person's expressions –ideas, opinions, illustrations, data, style–as one's own expression.
Undermining the Educational Process occurs whenever one attempts to prevent another's learning or subverts the recognized means by which learning occurs.
The first step to be taken by a faculty member should be a review of the evidence to ensure that there is sufficient reason to warrant a charge of academic dishonesty. This should be accomplished prior to imposing any academic sanction (e.g., failing a student for an assignment or a course) and/or referring the matter to the Office of Student Conduct Programs for adjudication.
To determine the course of action to be taken, faculty may elect to consult with a department chair, academic dean or the Office of Student Conduct
Programs. When the violation involves plagiarism faculty members are encouraged to employ all available resources (e.g., Turnitin.com, Google searches) in developing a set of evidence.
If the faculty member elects to impose an academic sanction (whether or not the faculty member also refers the matter to the Office of Student Conduct Programs), the faculty member is to advise the student of the sanction. If the student elects to appeal the academic sanction, the student is to initiate the Student Grade Grievance Procedure, which appears in the Policies and Procedures section of the Student Handbook. If the faculty member elects not to impose an academic sanction but refers the matter to the Office of Student Conduct Programs, the disciplinary process outlined in the Code of Student Conduct will be followed.
The Hearing Panel may impose sanctions upon any student determined to be accountable for violations of the Academic Integrity Policy. Sanctions are cumulative and may be increased based on a past disciplinary record, the severity of the violation, and the impact upon the academic community. There may be circumstances that are cause for exception as determined by the Hearing Panel.

10 Workout Secrets (From Experts Who Learned The Hard Way!)
Nobody is perfect. And neither are our workouts. From the fitness hangover solution to what not to wear at the gym and how to avoid being "that" girl at the gym, 10 fitness pros (and me) give us their "I wish I'd known sooner" secrets for having a better, more effective and enjoyable workout. So you don't have to learn the hard way!
Brynn Jinnett, Founder of the Refine MethodI was working out in a hotel gym and a man was trying to perform some strange acrobatics that involved a kettle bell and a wobble board. A guy walked by and said "KISS, man!" Keep It Simple, Stupid. Eat clean, work out hard. Rinse, repeat.
Kristin McGee, Yoga and Fitness Expert
I usually never wear makeup if I work out at the gym, especially first thing in the morning, but I had my makeup on for a meeting at one of the gyms I teach at and stayed to do the moving stairs after for a quick session. I jumped off and ran to teach my next private yoga client and realized she kept staring at me funny the whole way through. After our private, I used her restroom and noticed I had total racoon eyes! My mascara had run all down below my eyelids and I looked horrible! I told my makeup artist friend about this and here's the tip he gave me, "To avoid make up meltdown mascara under the eye, rub a little Vaseline under your eyes when you go for a run or do a heavy workout then use a q-tip to gently glide it off and reapply some concealer and you're good to go." It totally works and I realize many woman have to sneak in their workouts midday or after work and this does the trick.
Kate Albarelli, Founder of Figure 4 at Pure YogaIt is not true that you have to change up muscle groups every day. A truly effective workout is one that uses the body in its entirety with every muscle group every day. The muscles don't need a "recovery day." In fact, the muscles need to be reworked the next day in order to rid the lactic acid build up and keep the muscle fibers firing, thus getting stronger and not atrophying (atrophy sets in 36 hours of not using a muscle).
Keisa Parrish, Instructor at YogaWorksEat breakfast...a real one! If you don't eat breakfast all your efforts at the gym are for nothing. I had been working out frequently elliptical-ing and doing yoga, Pilates, but then I hit a plateau. I couldn't drop the last couple of pounds and talked with my mentor and she told me what I just told you. Boy did I see a difference!
Tara Stiles, Founder of Strala Yoga and personal yoga instructor to Deepak Chopra
Leave the makeup in your makeup bag. Go to the gym and do yoga with a clean face! Your pores will thank you. I used to be one of those girls who wore "just enough make up to think I looked like I didn't have makeup on" at the gym and at yoga. I did it for years, concealer, powder, light blush, and mascara, and one day, simply because I was running late, I actually washed my face, put moisturizer on, and left for yoga. And it felt great! My pores could sweat and I felt great. I could use a towel and not worry about getting makeup all over it, or my clothes. Let's make it a revolution! Most guys I know like girls looking natural, and it is a whole lot better for your body to sweat sans makeup. Plus, it is simply liberating to not wear a drop of makeup and enjoy a sweaty yoga class.
Alycia Stevenin, Barry's Bootcamp instructor and managerHere is the best cardio advice that was given to me by my best friend years ago: If you are on a treadmill and you're able to read a magazine or talk on the phone, you are NOT working out hard enough. The key to burning fat on the treadmill is interval training, a mixture of high intensity bursts with low to moderate intensity recoveries. I was able to lose 20 pounds in 6 weeks by incorporating this style workout into my daily routine. If you put down that cell phone and crank up the speed you'll be bathing suit ready all year long.
Ruth Zukerman, Co-Founder of FlywheelIf you partied too much the night before, don't skip the indoor cycling class [or any next day workout] you reserved for the following morning. It's the best hangover cure around! One night I went out to dinner with two friends and as the evening went on it became very apparent that we were all drinking a bit too much. We vowed that we all had to show up for class the next morning. (I was teaching.) We arrived dragging our feet, forced ourselves through it and felt as if we got it out of our systems at the end of class! It was the best plan we could have had!
Sadie Lincoln, Founder of barre3
Always check underarms after wearing natural deodorant like Tom's. As much as I love it, it is like super glue. I'll never forget raising my arms during a warm up I was teaching (on camera!) and seeing black fluffy balls from my sweatshirt under my arms!
Kristi McNeil, Managing Teacher at Pure Yoga West
One thing I wish I would someone would have told me a long time ago is that a steady yoga practice makes me a stronger athlete. My yoga practice has made my core stronger than it has ever been. The awareness of breathing techniques and how to utilize them has increased my overall endurance and the mind/body connection that yoga encourages helps me to stay on track with my diet and day to day choices.
Elena Brower, Founder and Co-Owner of Virayoga
I have a promise to myself to practice 15 minutes of yoga every day, so my body stays connected to the movements, my muscles stay lean, and my brain has that time to rest. I wish I would've made this promise to myself sooner. I crafted it when I realized how hypocritical I felt trying to teach my classes having practiced a week ago, or even more. Those 15 minutes keep me strong and long, yes - but they are a way for me to feel proud of myself because I'm keeping my word."
And my piece of advice- always, always remember to pack a sports bra! There's nothing worse than lugging your workout clothes to work, being pumped for that evening boot camp class and realizing you left your sports bra at home. Leave a clean one as backup at your desk if necessary. And, if all else fails and you find yourself sports bra-less at the gym, skip the bounce-inducing classes and workout on the stair stepper instead.

Melamine sponges modified with graphene

The description of new sorptive phases is a key trend in microextraction. Melamine sponges are three-dimensional structures made of formaldehyde-melamine-sodium bisulfate copolymer and characterized by a high porosity and a hydrophilic nature. This foam-like material is commercially available at low prices and is used for several purposes such as insulating and sound proofing. The physicochemical properties of the sponges make them interesting as potential sorbents. However, their hydrophilic nature must be switched by chemical functionalization to promote the interaction with analytes in an aqueous media.
Researchers from the University of Ioannina and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece have recently proposed a simple method to immobilize graphene over the sponges surface. The synthesis simply consists of the immersion of melamine sponges in a graphene oxide (GO) dispersion in water in the presence of hydrazine. This medium is microwaved for only 2 min. and the modified materials are finally dried in a oven. The immobilization of GO is based on the interaction of its oxygen-rich functional groups with the amino moieties of the sponge surface. In addition, hydrazine is used as reducing agent to transform GO into graphene.
This functionalization does not affect to the 3D structure of the sponges but provides the material with a highly hydrophobicity. This fact can be observed in this image where the different behavior of raw (white) and modified (black) sponges in aqueous media is clearly shown.
The synthesized sponges have been used as sorbents towards several sulfonamides in different samples. The authors have studied in detail the interaction chemistries between the analytes and the sorbent which combine π-π, hydrophobic and weak electrostatic interactions. The results have demonstrated the potential of the new sorbent since high enrichment factors are obtained with a reduced matrix effect.
The green chemistry connotations of this approach should be highlighted. The synthesis does not require high amounts of reagents and solvents. In addition, it opens a door to the reusing of materials coming from production surpluses.
We would like to thank the authors of the article for providing the picture of raw and functionalized melamine sponges.

SUPERVISORS' RESPONSIBILITIES—that was the theme of the third
Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart Supervisors' Conference held at The
Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia, June 20 to 30, 1960. Twenty-seven
supervisors and managers came from eighteen cities in the
United States; Toronto and Montreal in Canada; and Mexico City
for these eleven days of intensive education.
For several weeks before the Conference the participants had been
receiving advance information on the program, problems to solve,
cases to study for discussion, and lists of advance reading material.
The program of the Conference was designed to develop and to
emphasize the responsibilities of the supervisor as a professional
person, as a businessman and administrator, as a technically competent
accountant, and as a representative of the firm who is well
acquainted with all aspects of its services. Consequently, the program
covered a wide range of subjects: management services and
sciences, business development, professional responsibility, communications,
firm administration, business combination, services to
financial institutions, income taxes, auditing philosophy and techniques,
retail accounting and auditing, and accounting theory.
No doubt the most valuable asset of the Conference was the distinguished
group of discussion leaders and lecturers who conducted
the sessions. The ratio of discussion leaders and lecturers to participants
was almost one to one. There were twenty-five men—Touche,
Ross, Bailey & Smart partners and personnel, educators, and guest

TUCSON, Ariz. - The seventh-ranked Arizona baseball team completed a three-game series sweep of visiting Harvard with a 13-2 victory at Hi Corbett Field on Sunday afternoon.
UA starter James Farris improved his record to 2-1 with a solid seven-plus innings on the mound. The right-hander allowed two earned runs and scattered six hits, while racking up six strikeouts against one walk.
Arizona (8-2) had 13 base hits in the game, led by Johnny Field's three hits.
Harvard (0-3) committed six errors to aid the Wildcats, particularly in the early stages. Crimson starter Jacob Kremers (0-1) pitched three innings and surrendered three runs - all unearned - on three hits allowed. Kremers, who suffered the loss, was replaced by Tanner Anderson, who gave up five runs on four hits, but was charged only one earned run. Altogether, seven of the first eight runs allowed by the Crimson were unearned.
After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, UA posted single runs in the third and fourth innings, respectively. With a 4-1 advantage, the Wildcats broke the game open with four runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings, before capping the scoring with a lone run in the eighth frame.
The Crimson mounted their biggest threat in the second inning, but was unable to take advantage of a bases-loaded, no-out situation. Farris settled down and induced a run-scoring groundout, a strikeout and a pickoff to escape the jam with no more than one run scoring.
Jack Colton and Kyle Larrow each had two hits to pace Harvard's nine-hit attack.

Before Madonna locked lips with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera – "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba says she shared multiple kisses with the pop star.
The "Dancing" judge and host of GSN's GSN's "1 vs. 100" stopped by Access Hollywood Live on Wednesday and revealed details from her time as a dancer on Madonna's 1993 Girlie Show World Tour – a job for which she had to sacrifice her long locks.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Madonna Though The Years
"On that tour, when we all auditioned [Madonna] said, 'If you take this job you all have to shave your head.' I was cool with that because, you know, I'm Asian and there are so many stereotypes that we have a to be a doctor or graphic designer or lawyer or something like that. I was like, 'I'm going for it! I'm going to be the bald bold girl!'" she told Billy and Kit.
Carrie Ann added that she got to know the pop star in a very intimate way during the tour.

"She's amazing. She works so hard and she pushes your buttons. And, you know, we made out on the stage," Carrie Ann said. "Well, there was like an orgy thing on stage and we were doing this and that and it felt so good and one night my boyfriend was in the audience and her friend at the time was in the audience… I'm not saying whether it was a boy or girl, and they were in the audience. And she was, I think, trying to tempt them and trying to make them jealous, so she turned around and I just saw this tongue coming at me and we had this full on make out session on stage."
Not everyone was so excited to see Carrie Ann make out with Madonna.
"[My boyfriend] was mad because he was a Virgo. And he was like, 'That is wrong!' So, I approached her about it and I said, 'You know, that wasn't cool,' and she said, 'It's acting.' I said, 'If it was acting then we would have done it everyday in rehearsal,' and I said, 'If you want to kiss me you have to come to my room and knock on my door and ask me,'" Carrie Ann recalled.

The 'Dancing" judge told Billy and Kit that she never got a knock from Madonna, but did get another kiss.
"We did play truth or dare the last night of the tour… I had another kiss. We had the second kiss," she said.
