NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Brandeis women rallied from as many as 11 points down to lead by as many as five in the second half, but it was the host NYU Violets who made the last big run, outscoring Brandeis 15-1 over the last 3:30 of regulation plus overtime to emerge with a 66-57 victory in the University Athletic Association opener for both teams. Brandeis falls to 7-5, 0-1 in the UAA and sees a four-game winning streak snapped, while NYU improves to 8-3, 1-0 UAA.
The Judges, who trailed by seven points at halftime, 33-26,were down by a 40-29 margin after an early 7-3 run by the Violets. They battled back to within three points after back-to-back lay-ups by senior Morgan Kendrew (Cotuit, Mass./Barnstable) made it 44-41 with 12:16 left in regulation. The Violets answered with the next four points to push the lead to 48-41 at the 10:23 mark, but the Brandeis defense clamped down at that point, holding NYU off the board for a span of nearly five minutes, scoring 11 unanswered points.
Kendrew kicked off the run with a 3-pointer, while jumpers by junior Courtney Ness (Norwich, Vt./Hanover, N.H.) and sophomore Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./Peabody) knotted the score at 48-48. Ness contributed assists on both Rodriguez's bucket and on the go-ahead put-back by junior center Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./Hoosic Valley) at the 8:21 mark. Individual free throws by Anderson and graduate student Diana Cincotta (W. Boylston, Mass./W. Boylston) pushed the lead to four at 52-48 before NYU senior Bianca Storts snapped the string with a traditional three-point play to get the hosts back within one.
Kendrew answered with the next five points of the game, with her layup on rebound and nice outlet from Ness at the 3:30 mark giving the Judges their largest lead of the second half at 56-51. Unfortunately for the visitors, that was their last field of the contest, as they scored just one more point over the final 8:30 of the game. NYU sliced into the lead on another and-one, converted by Erica Franke with 3:07 left. The teams combined to miss their next eight shots over the next couple off minutes before Storts hita jumper in the lane with 39 seconds left to tie the contest. Brandeis had the final possession, but Cincotta missed a trifecta, as did Kendrew after a nice offensive board by Ness. NYU corralled that miss, but the Violets dribbled the ball of their feet, giving the Judges one last errant shot at the buzzer that missed, forcing the extra session.
In OT, the Judges scored first when Kendrew hit one-of-two free throws, but Violet Tana Bertino hit from deep to give the hosts the lead for good. After a good stand by NYU, teammate Cara Bertino added another trifecta and the Violets pulled away as Brandeis finished 0-for-7 from the field in overtime.
Kendrew led Brandeis with a season-high 17 points, 11 coming in the second 20 minutes. She hit 7-of-16 overall, 2-of-6 from downtown and 1-of-2 from the line. Cincotta notched 15, including four 3-pointers, to give her 88 for her career. She needs two more to become the eighth player with 90 trifectas at Brandeis. Ness had a fine all-around game with six points, seven rebounds and a career-best five blocked shots to go with three assists and two steals. Anderson and rookie guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) matched Ness with seven rebounds each.
For NYU, Bonito led all scorers with a season-high 18 points and added four assists. Seven of her 18 came in the overtime session Bertino had 15 points and five rebounds, while Storts recorded 14 points, six rebounds and a career-high-tying four steals. Shelby Coon pulled down a game-best 12 boards.

Siri, Apple's witty virtual personal assistant, is making its debut in three of GM's new car models early next year, the auto manufacturer announced Tuesday.
Customers with an iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to sync their phones via Bluetooth in two versions of the Chevrolet Spark and the Sonic LTZ and RS, Fast Company reported. Siri will hook up with the cars' MyLink infotainment system, allowing drivers to make voice-activated calls, play songs in their iTunes libraries, add appointments to their calendars, and compose iMessages and text messages hands-free.
A number of automakers, including Mercedes, BMW and Jaguar, have confirmed that they plan to integrate Siri in their synced systems as well, Fast Company said, but GM is the first to implement it.

Paul W. S. Anderson to direct Capcom's 'Monster Hunter'?
Hard to believe that this weekend's Resident Evil: Retribution will mark the fifth of Paul W. S. Anderson's flicks, and a decade since they began. A spinoff of Capcom's wildly popular, long-running horror video game series, I think people looked at the movies initially as something that would fade away quietly like all other such adaptations had done. Obviously that didn't happen, and while it can be argued just how much the RE movies make any sense at this point, they are without a doubt the most successful video game adaptations ever, not particularly expensive to produce and a minimum $150M box office a lock.
With series star and Anderson's leggy wife Milla Jojovich revealing that the franchise would end with the sixth film, the search is on for something equally lucrative to take its place. In a conversation with Japanese site, Cinema Today(translated via Google), Anderson revealed he wants to stick with Capcom and bring their Monster Hunter games to the big screen. The company has justifiably put all their faith in Anderson to do pretty much whatever he wants, and the direct admitted to falling in love with the action RPG games, and is now in the planning stages of development.
Monster Hunter began on the PS2 back in 2004, and as the title suggests it follows a newbie hunter who must complete quests given to him by a village elder. These tasks mainly include tracking and hunting specific creatures, with the goal sometimes to kill and other times just to capture. The game has been spun into a media empire all its own, with numerous sequels, anime films and manga.
Of course this sounds like something that could easily be built for Jojovich to take over, so we can see her shoot an arrow through a brontosaurus' neck in slow-motion ad nauseum. No word on when this could start, but I'm guessing we'll hear more about it soon.

Northern Gateway opponent says investor money will 'sit there and rot'
Anti-pipeline activists attend Enbridge AGM in Calgary, tell shareholders pursuing project a waste of money
Opponents of Enbridge Inc.'s Northern Gateway proposal say even if the federal cabinet approves controversial oil pipeline in the coming weeks, the project will languish while they tie it up in the courts.
As in previous years, a delegation of First Nations leaders, environmental activists and B.C. community representatives travelled to Calgary on Wednesday to speak out against the more than $6.5-billion project at Enbridge's annual general meeting.
- Northern Gateway pipeline recommended for federal approval, with conditions
- Northern Gateway pipeline project: 6 things to know
- Northern Gateway pipeline: benefits vs. concerns
- Visit CBC Aboriginal for more top stories
John Ridsdale, hereditary chief of the Wet'suwet'en Nation in northern B.C., says his community will never support the Alberta-to-B.C. oil pipeline project and investor money will "sit there and rot."
You're wasting your money.- Art Sterritt, Coastal First Nations
"The answer is still no. So let's move on," he told The Canadian Press ahead of the meeting.
"Why would you want to invest into a failed project? There are better projects they can invest in. It's costing them money to find out it's an absolute failure."
Art Sterritt, executive director of Coastal First Nations, said he decided to attend Enbridge's meeting for the first time to deliver a similar message to CEO Al Monaco.
Panel recommended approval
"When you're sitting in a board meeting, having an annual meeting, trying to decide where your future investments are going, you'd better think about that because it's not going to happen.
"You're wasting money," he said.
A joint review panel said in December the project that will bring oil from Alberta to Kitimat, B.C. should be approved, subject to 209 conditions, and the federal cabinet is set to decide in a matter of weeks.
But Monaco told shareholders that he knows there's still a lot more work to be done.
"Regardless of the final government decision here, whatever decision they do make, our focus is going to be on re-engaging and further building trust with some of the aboriginal groups that we haven't been able to do this point, to listen, further build trust and address concerns," he said, adding he's met with many community leaders along the pipeline route.
"As CEO, I've made this commitment to them, and I repeat it here today: that we'll continue to work hard to earn the trust of British Columbians and that will make Northern Gateway the best project possible with environment and safety as the first priority."
Legal challenges mount
A litany of legal challenges being mounted by project opponents mean the path forward for Northern Gateway is far from clear.
First Nations in most of British Columbia have not signed treaties with the Crown, meaning they maintain right and title.
There are a number of court cases in which B.C. First Nations have been successful in the past, Ridsdale said.
"We've had the longest winning streak in Canadian jurisprudence, in the history of Canada. And yet here we go again," he said.
"They still haven't listened to us. We've constantly said the answer is still no and we give the reasoning behind it. So we go to court."
Jim Prentice, a former federal Tory cabinet minister who is preparing to run for the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership, was hired by the Northern Gateway proponents in March to engage with First Nations along the route.
Jim Prentice meets with First Nations
Sterritt said his first meeting with Prentice and his staff didn't go well.
"He brought some people along that thought that they could flash a bunch of economic development opportunities under our nose and somehow we would roll over on Northern Gateway," he said.
Later, Sterritt said was able to deliver a tough message to Prentice one-on-one.
"I let him know in no uncertain terms, the longest, the furthest path to the Pacific is Northern Gateway. There is so much poison involved in that project, you just can't rescue it. So unless this industry in Alberta gets rid of the idea of Northern Gateway, they're not going to see the Pacific. It's that simple," he said.
Sterritt added he'd be happy to see someone with a deep understanding of First Nations issues — it was one of Prentice's cabinet posts in Ottawa — become the premier of Alberta.
"He understands the pathway to the Pacific is a hard road."
Enbridge financial update
Earlier Wednesday, Enbridge said it earned $390 million in its latest quarter, up from $250 million a year ago.
The pipeline company says the profit amounted to 47 cents per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31 compared with a profit of 31 cents per diluted share a year ago.
Revenue totalled $10.52 billion, up from $7.9 billion in the first three months of 2013.
Excluding one-time items, including unrealized derivative fair value gains and losses, Enbridge said it earned an adjusted profit of $492 million or 60 cents per share.
That compared with an adjusted profit of $488 million or 62 cents per share a year ago when the company had fewer shares outstanding.
Analysts on average had expected an adjusted profit of 57 cents per share, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.
Monaco said the company is on track to be within the company's full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $1.84 to $2.04 per share.

Dirk Nowitzki hit a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left and the Dallas Mavericks rallied to beat the Chicago Bulls 100-98 on Saturday.
The Mavericks trailed by 12 in the fourth quarter, but Nowitzki scored Dallas' last eight points in a closing 15-1 run over the final 3½ minutes of the game. He finished with a season-high 35 points.
After Jimmy Butler missed two free throws with 15.9 seconds remaining, Nowitzki connected on the winning 3 with Luol Deng running at him. Chicago's Nate Robinson then missed a jumper at the buzzer that would have tied it.
Robinson scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth in Chicago's first game since ending the Miami Heat's 27-game winning streak.

There is a recipe here, I swear. But first I want to talk about olive oil.
How many different kinds of olive oil have you tasted in your lifetime? Maybe you always stick to the tried and true, Colavita, say, or simply something that's handy and relatively inexpensive in your part of the world. Maybe you have a favourite Italian spot that cheerfully and generously puts miniature carafes of olive oil on the table, the better to soak your bread in. You might even splurge regularly for a bottle of rich oil from a far flung place: Italy, Spain, Greece.
Sadly many imported olive oils are simply bottled off shore. The olives themselves might be a mongrel mix of dubious pedigree, and the oil may not even be extra virgin, even though the label says so.
So, when your feet are on the soil that yields the olives; when you shake hands with the producer who protectively watches every tree; when you taste that oil, with a terroir to rival any fine wine; and when that oil explodes on your tongue in a burst of fruity spicy goodness – oh my. You are done with that other stuff.
The beautiful grounds of Fattoria Montalbano
This is the olive oil of Fattoria Montalbano in Regello, just 27 kilometres south of Florence. Luciano and Daniela Nustrini run Montalbano, a wonderful agriturismo set on 25 acres in lush and lovely Tuscany. In addition to the beautifully rustic villas that house guests, the fattoria (farm) produces what I think just might be the best olive oil ever. The four family whippets rule the roost, while the lone shaggy dog Iago eyes them laconically. There are an equal number of cats, including this tortoise beauty we adopted for three days. Plus chickens, goats, a sad looking donkey, and incidentally four children.
All that and yet Montalbano is blessedly secluded and deeply restful. The guest villas are set some distance from the house, ensuring privacy and the ultimate chance to relax. Breakfast is low key and casual, and the small villages of San Donato in Fronzano and Donnini have well equipped greengrocers so that you can make your own meals, and only slightly further afield there are plenty of options for small and delicious trattorie and osterie.
Lunch al fresco on our private terrace
Our room with a view...
Lavender and rosemary as far as the eye can see
But by far our favourite meal in our three nights stay was at Montalbano itself. Daniela, who never seems to sleep, will occasionally make dinner for guests. The multicourse meal is served in the taverna, a 300 year old cantina originally used to store olive oil. Lit with hundreds of candles, served alongside the farm's own delicious Chianti, the meal was sumptuous and completely satisfying.
Salsa di Peperoni Gialli (Yellow Pepper Sauce)
makes approx four cups
As I contemplated how I would cook my fresh halibut for dinner tonight, it struck me that this sauce would be an unusual – and unusually good – accompaniment. I lightened the sauce by using yogurt intead of whipped cream.
1 tbsp good quality olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
Scant c water
½ c plain low fat yogurt (I used goat yogurt in a nod to Montalbano's herd)*
½ tsp kosher salt, or more to taste
Coarse black pepper to taste
1. Wash the peppers and slice them into thin slices.
2. In a large skillet, combine the oil, garlic and peppers over medium high heat. Add the water and cook, stirring constantly, until the water is almost evaporated.
3. At this point, the peppers will begin to brown. Continue cooking, a couple of minutes more, until they are evenly and very lightly browned. Remove from heat.
4. Transfer the peppers to a blender and blend to a smooth puree. Place in a bowl, add the yogurt and stir thoroughly. Add the salt and pepper, and adjust for seasoning.
The sauce can be used as it is at Montalbano, as a spread on grilled bread, or a dip for crackers. Thinned with a little vegetable or chicken broth, it would be a wonderfully different type of cold summer soup. And, as I thought, it really was unusually good on a piece of simply roasted halibut, served alongside a salad of mixed sunflower sprouts and pea shoots that were topped with sprouted radish and lightly dressed with Fattoria Montalbano's finest.
The greens are from Kind Organics, a local farm that's been operating since 1999. Sandra and Tamas Dombi, along with partner Amber Malek, grow the most incredibly fresh greens: they taste alive when you eat them, and are best served just as I did, with a bit of crunchy salt and that amazing oil. And if you haven't had fresh sunflower sprouts, make a vow to find them before summer's over.

Wall pushes Wizards over the line in 119-113 OT win vs Nets
WASHINGTON (AP) — After leading the Washington Wizards to their first overtime win of the season, John Wall remained frustrated that the late drama had been self-imposed.
Wall scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half and overtime, and tied a season high with 16 assists in the Wizards' 119-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
Yet the perennial All-Star couldn't shake thoughts of his own performance, which also included eight turnovers, or that of a team that gave back a 23-point lead.
"The whole second half was just nasty for us, period," Wall said. "We have to do better. We have to do a lot better."
Washington has repeatedly struggled to close games at home this season. On Nov. 1, the Wizards lost 112-116 to Phoenix after holding a 22-point lead in the first half. On Nov. 25, they led by 17 in the fourth quarter before losing 108-105 to Portland.
They pulled this one out in overtime, when Wall hit two jumpers and contributed three assists while the Nets shot 1 for 8 from the floor.
"We've got an All-Star point guard. That helps, right?" Washington coach Scott Brooks said. "He made big plays, big shots down the stretch."
Bradley Beal scored 24 points and Kelly Oubre added 17 off the bench on 5-of-6 shooting.
Marcin Gortat had 16 points and 13 rebounds as the Wizards pulled to 2-2 on their five-game homestand and avoided being swept by the Nets in the season series.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 22 points for Brooklyn, which never led. Jarrett Allen added 16 points and DeMarre Carroll had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who are winless in three overtime games
"You know, it's tough, all the close games," Allen said. "But I feel like every one of them has been a learning experience. There's little things we pick up from games that we've lost like this, and we just try to improve on them."
Beal gave Washington the lead for good on a jumper and followed with a 3-pointer, both off feeds by Wall, to make it 114-109. Then Wall hit a pair of contested jumpers to keep Washington's lead at five, the latter making it 118-113 with 17 seconds left in the extra period.
Nets: Brooklyn fell to 2-7 in the second game of back-to-back sets. ... Brooklyn's starting five scored only 19 first-half points ... C Tyler Zeller (left hip) sat out for the first time since Nov. 14.
Wizards: Washington swept both ends of a back-to-back set for the first time this season. ... Wall received his fourth technical foul of the season during the third quarter. ... G Jodie Meeks returned to action after he was left out of Washington's rotation for the first time this season on Friday night.
Beal has now scored 20 or more points in 10 consecutive games, his longest such stretch this season.
"Without my teammates, I wouldn't be able to have this streak," Beal said. "But I do take pride in being aggressive and being a scorer, and doing the best that I can."
Brooklyn trailed 59-39 at halftime before closing within three in the third and tying it on a 16-5 run to end the fourth.
During that last stretch, Allen Crabbe hit two 3-pointers and fed Caris LeVert for a dunk that closed it to 105-104 with 1:45 remaining. The Nets missed their next three shots and turned it over twice, yet still tied it at 107-all on Quincy Acy's 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 9.1 seconds left.
Nets: Host New York on Monday.
Wizards: Wrap a five-game homestand Monday against Milwaukee.

|Tokyo Disney Resort
The twin theme parks: Disneyland and the more recent DisneySea make up Tokyo Disney resort, located roughly one hour from Ikebukuro station. The first Disney resort to be opened outside of the United States, Tokyo Disneyland is popular nationwide due to its fun seasonal shows and attractions. Tokyo DisneySea (opened in 2001) is an independant water themed variation of the main park with an extensive recreation of Venetian canals that leads into the different "ports of call". These themed areas house the park's rides and attractions. Popular attractions include Journey to the Center of the Earth ride and the "Tower of terror".

|Shibuya, Omotesando & Harajuku
From Shibuya's 109 building, along Omotesando Hills to Harajuku's Takeshita doori, this extensive area is without doubt the centre of Tokyo's fashion and pop-culture. Next Shibuya Station you can find one of the most famous pedestrian crossings in the world, while was featured in many movies such as "Lost in Translation."
Many famous luxury brands have established their flagship stores in the glamourous Aoyama and Omotesando districts. If you prefer exquisite Japanese craftsmanship, the Oriental Bazaar is no doubt the No.1 choice. From fine porcelain to unique hand-woven articles, you name it, they've got it.
However, if you are looking for something more alternative, Harajuku is definitely the place to go. Here is where Tokyo's fashion-conscious generation gathers and the Design Festa Gallery can be found. On Sundays you can take a break from shopping to see amateur bands and dancers in nearby Yoyogi park as well.

Famous for its numerous discount electronics and computer stores, Akihabara is also the origin of "Otaku" culture - manga, anime and all the related merchandise. Whether you are looking for the latest high-tech PCs and mobile phones or memorabilia from your favourite anime, most likely you will be able to find it here.
If Shibuya is the centre for fashion, then Akihabara is the centre for electronics and Otaku culture. Don't forget to bring your passport in orders to get a refund on the sales tax!

Home to the busiest station in the world, Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's must-visit night spots. Dinner, bars or karaoke, whatever you are after, you will be truly spoilt for choice in Shinjuku. By day however, Shinjuku is a great place for a spot of shopping with its fair share of brand-name goods and electronics stores.
The Takashimaya times-square department store is a great place to buy presents and the top floor of the Kinokuniya book store sells foreign language books should you need to stock up before your journey home.
If you have the time, a trip to the top of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building is also highly recommended as the panoramic views of the city are nothing short of spectacular. You can even see Mount Fuji on a clear day!
Jimbocho stn. → Subway Toei Shinjuku line (10 min.) → Shinjuku stn.
"Ameyoko" is a very busy market street located under the Yamanote Line tracks between Okachimachi and Ueno stations. This market street used to be one of the most well-known black markets in Tokyo after World War Two.
"Ameyoko" means "Ameya Yokocho" (candy store alley), as candies were traditionally sold there. Besides, "Ame" can also relate to "America" because a lot of American goods were very popular on the black market.
Nowadays, various products such as clothes, bags, cosmetics, fresh fish, dried foods and spices are available there. Especially towards the end of a year, people will flood to Ameyoko to buy festive foods and products to celebrate the New Year.
"Ameyoko" is a really fun and interesting spot to check out. Opening hours and closing days depend on different stores, but they usually open at around 10:00 and close at around 19:00. Moreover, since many stores will be closed on Wednesdays, so it may be a good idea to go there on the rest of the week.

This final installment in the McKenney series was printed in February, 1962 by J. Wilson McKenney. There were only 120 copies made.
Since producing this little booklet almost three years ago, I have received several letters correcting or amplifying entries in the McKenney story. This addenda is offered as tribute for my errors. But who will go on from here to produce a truly creditable genealogy?
Last summer Ruth and I drove across country, stopping to visit in Missouri. At an ancient courthouse in Harrisonville, seat of Cass County, I discovered only two McKinneys (note spelling) in official records of births. I was told a fire had destroyed records prior to 1883.
Berta McKinney is the name on the card. Lavina is given as the mother's name and the birthplace is noted as Austin township, northeast of Archie. The birth of Lawrence McKinney (without the Jesse) is recorded as February 1, 1886, about two months after the date in the family Bible. The father's name is noted as Jonathan, age 42; the mother's as Luvina, age 30. The attending physician in both cases was Dr. W.A. Tout, of Archie. Apparently prosperous enough to purchase a Tout family history, he had no patience with small details like patient's names. [Touting his own horn?]
Dutch Corners is not a place name now known in Harrisonville. But I learned that the town of Archie was laid out in 1880, three years after my grandparents returned to the Missouri farm from Colorado. Cass County was named in 1849 for the Democratic candidate for President. And that year about half the male population of the county went west to the gold fields, a trend which continued for 30 years.
I have no evidence explaining why the family name should be spelled McKinney in Missouri and McKenney in California; possibly a clerical error.
A nostalgic letter from Joe Hamm recalls his memories of a half century ago at the family farm on Magnolia Avenue:
I can remember the wonderful odors of wash day when the women folk started the fire out doors under the cast iron pot, where most things were boiled. We were sent to gather loose brush from the cypress trees and bark from the eucalyptus trees along the car line. What a heavenly aroma this combination of woods did make!
The irrigation ditch that bordered the front yard carried water that was wonderfully cool. When the ditch was dry it was filled with cool interesting sand.
There was a pantry where you could almost always pick up a cold biscuit or muffin to munch on between meals. The store room off the other end of the kitchen had a heady smell of smoked hams and whole roasted coffee beans.
Wakened in the morning, you could hear Grandma stirring about in the kitchen, where, on the old wood stove, she would put together a farmer breakfast of hot biscuits and honey, mush, ham and eggs....
It was a rich and rewarding lifetime exposure some of us have been priviledged to enjoy near the warmth and love of this unique and grand family, the McKenneys.
Yes, Joe, the sights and sounds and smells of that time and place are well remembered, leaving a taste of sweetness we were never to know again. The trees on the Avenue were friendly giants -- how could they grow so small in another generation? The limbs were kind to small climbers...the hay was so fragrant... I was told I could capture the crows by sprinkling salt on their tails. Life's first great disillusionment came as I trudged home, salt dissolved in sweaty palm, bare feet sore from racing on stubble, and the laughter of the haying crew ringing in my ears.
Joseph, with the bright memory, was an actor in his youth, entered the Los Angeles county fire department in 1929, became its Safety Director, and retired in 1961. His father, John F. Hamm, husband of Kate, died in 1957. Son Laurence Manly Hamm, after Army discharge in 1919, engaged in the plumbing contracting business with his father in Alhambra, bought the business in 1927, and still operates L.M. Hamm, Inc. He has three grandsons and six granddaughters. His sister, Hazel Pruett -- my age -- lives in Baldwin Park.
Corrections in my original "McKenney" story are many; it will probably never be brought up to date.
Uncle Marion, known as 'Mame', died in 1905; he had four sons, three of whom are living. Earl, born in June 1900, died in 1958. He married in 1923 and fathered three sons: Francis, Earl, and Galen. Allen, born October 31, 1901, married, has no offspring. Willy, born July 14, 1903, married in 1929, has three children. Lewis, born January 6, 1905, married Vyvan Smith in 1929, had two daughters, was divorced. With the rank of Major, U.S. Army, ret., he married Patricia Swahn in 1954, made his home in Costa Mesa. His name is listed locally as McKenny.
Bernice married James Millikin, not Mulligan. Her son, Gilbert, a resident of Costa Mesa, married Ruth Trapp in 1939, had a son named George. He married Natalie Mathews in 1956 and they have three sons: Larry, Bruce, and Brian. Bernice's son, Bruce, died in 1959.
|Ten sons and daughters of Jonathan W. McKenney are shown here as they appeared at the 1938 family reunion. Now, 24 years later, two brothers and three sisters are dead. Shown, left to right, are Mildred, Grace, Emma, Kate, Bernice...
|...John, Ralph, Birt, Joe and Al.
Blanche's daughter, Addie, now living in Whittier, married John Marion Cain, who died in 1918. Her brother, George Wilson Doyle, died in 1944. His son, Joseph, born 1928, died in Veterans' Hospital in 1959. George's daughter Patricia has five children; son Lawrence, who also bears the middle name of Wilson, is father of two. George's wife, Irene, who lives now in Bowie, Arizona, says Lawrence flies jets and looks like an earlier version of me.
Uncle Al died in 1953 and his wife Jessie died in 1959. She had lived with daughter Francis in Colton after leaving her Yucaipa home. Cousin Richard, who had farmed with his father at Bloomington and Coachella Valley, moved to Costa Mesa, married Helen Allen, had a son, Richard Allen [1935], divorced. He married Margaret McFarland in 1955, Ronald Allen was born the next year. [Actually, its McLaughlin and they had no children -Stachia]
Aunt Mildred, that wonderful spirit who taught in San Joaquin Valley so many years ago, died of cancer March 2, 1961. Uncle Charlie, her companion for 41 years, spent Christmas with 11 grandsons and 3 granddaughters--and a great lonliness. Betty Davy bore her Kevin James in 1959 and Alys Erickson mothered her Theodore Von in 1961.
Birt was buried February 6, 1961, a month before Mildred's death. He had lived alone at the Maywood Hotel for many years but for some time he lived near Manly's home in Alhambra in order to visit Emma.
Emma still sews, a skill she has used since leaving her grocery store in Laguna Beach. Her daughter Mildred lives at Laguna. What fun Milly and I had in the summer of 1916 [she was only 5 but I was 8] as we searched for coffee shells and marine life on those unspoiled beaches! She is the wife of Ed Hobert -- not Hyatt -- whom she married in 1940. Mildred's daughter Carolyn married Peter Burr in 1960, had a child last year. Marian is a resident of Fullerton, Catherine of Garden Grove.
Aunt Grace and Uncle Dee have lived in Laguna Beach since the early 20s; Dee was a mechanic for the city for many years. Ruth married Douglas K. Perrin in 1940 and Margaret married Lawrence W. Taylor in 1941; all live in Laguna.
Ralph, now 69, claims to be the "oldest active fireman in the Sixth Army." Long a resident of Flagstaff, Arizona, he has become a senior warden in his local Masonic Lodge.
John, youngest of the 14, retired as an industrial electrician in 1960, now enjoys bowling, gardening. Daughter Phyllis married Donald Pederson in 1946; they have an 11-year-old named Susan Lisa.
My father, Joseph W., will be 80 this year, the oldest surviving member of the family. He has had a quiet retirement from cabinet work in Long Beach and San Bernardino, but rarely writes. He is proud of his 58 years membership in the Masonic Lodge; he took his first degree in Buena Park in 1903, was enrolled in the honorary 32nd degree in 1958.
My sister, Jo, still operates a clothing store in Hermosa Beach; Husband Bob is a veteran executive at Northrup Aircraft. Son Robert Neal is a father; Gary Arthur, 20, is completing his printing apprenticeship.
Since leaving Compton Junior College in 1930, I have been constantly engaged with words, type and paper. From 1933 to 1950 I owned and edited four weekly newspapers, was co-founder of Desert Magazine. Since 1952 I have been editor of CTA Journal for the California Teachers Association. Daughters Pat Stewart (a beautiful girl, Jennifer) and Jody Lakner (two fine boys, Roger and Frederick) live near us. Son Jon, a language specialist, left for Nurenburg in January for a two-year tour with the Army. All of them were with us at Christmas time.

Epistemic closure and poll denialism
With six weeks to go in the 2012 presidential election, the polls look quite good for President Obama. All of the usual caveats still apply – there's still time, Obama's modest lead is not insurmountable, uncontrollable events are impossible to predict, etc. – but Mitt Romney and his supporters are understandably discouraged.
Well, at least some of them are. A surprising number of Republicans have decided to go a different route, arguing that all of the evidence pointing to Obama's advantage is wrong.
The Romney campaign and other Republicans say polls showing President Obama with a significant lead over their candidate are inaccurate.
They argue many mainstream polls skew in Obama's favor because of sample sizes that base 2012 turnout projections on 2008, when Democrats – and Hispanics, blacks and young voters in particular – turned out in record numbers.
"I don't think [the polls] reflect the composition of what 2012 is going to look like," Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said in an interview.
Frustration that polls are skewed in favor of Obama has escalated among some on the right in recent weeks. One website,www.unskewedpolls.com, recently began re-weighting the mainstream polls to closer track the demographic assumptions of conservative polling outlet Rasmussen Reports. The re-weighted polls all show Romney ahead in the race, with leads of between 3 and 11 percentage points.
So, every national poll released over the last several weeks – literally, all of them – show Obama leading Romney. Unsatisfied with these results, the right has decided to fiddle with the figures, and wouldn't you know it, the new-and-improved polls all show Romney leading Obama.
It's not just random cranks (see Morris, Dick) arguing all of the polls are unreliable; this idea is repeated widely in Republican circles.
There are three main problems to this line of thought: (1) there's no reason to think the polls are skewed; (2) even the Romney campaign doesn't seriously believe the polls are wrong; and (3) epistemic closure is probably helping poll denialism.
Let's take these one at a time. First, pollsters realize their livelihoods are predicated on getting the best possible results, and the notion that every major news organization is deliberately publishing bogus poll results is pretty silly.
Not every Republican pollster finds fault with the publicly-available surveys. Dan Judy, vice president of North Star Opinion Research in Alexandria, Va., told National Journal, "A lot of the media organizations this cycle seem to have gotten better."
"Most of the media polls are good, professional polls," Judy added, "in terms of making sure that the way their samples are constructed are fairly consistent."
Second, we know Republicans, in their heart of hearts, don't seriously believe the polls are skewed against them. If they did, Republicans would be feeling very optimistic about Romney's chances, and clearly, they're not. On the contrary, GOP officeholders, candidates, and pundits seem quite dispirited with 42 days to go.
Indeed, if internal Republican polling, which presumably wouldn't be part of the larger conspiracy, showed Romney with a consistent lead, he and his campaign wouldn't feel the need to constantly reboot itself with new messages. Just the opposite is true – if they were confident they're winning, Team Romney wouldn't see the need to change course at all.
And yet, the only consistency to the Republican campaign right now is how inconsistent it is, constantly trying new messages, attacks, and themes, hoping to find one that might stick.
And finally, it's worth appreciating why the right is having this reaction to all of the recent polls. I suspect epistemic closure has a lot to do with it. Remember, for many Republicans, it's extremely easy to avoid objective information – they can read a conservative newspaper in the morning, listen to conservative talk radio during the day, come home and watch Fox News before going to bed.
These folks have very clear, preconceived ideas, which are rarely challenged. They know, with certainty, that President Obama is the single worst president in American history, whose every move has failed miserably in every possible way.
And so when every national poll shows Obama winning, it's gut-check time – they can either believe Obama's political standing is fairly strong or they can believe there's a grand conspiracy involving rascally news organizations and biased pollsters. Take a wild guess which option is winning.
We're talking about voters who are accustomed to being told what they want to hear, with every passing day reinforcing those beliefs with more evidence of how right they are. Is it any wonder they see polls challenging their assumptions, and reflexively assume the polls must be wrong?

Junior School Curriculum
Kristin Junior School was the first school in New Zealand authorised to teach the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP is an international curriculum framework designed for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years, and has been taught in the Junior School since 2002.
Incorporating the New Zealand Curriculum, the PYP focuses on the total growth of the developing child, addressing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic welfare. It offers a comprehensive, inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning and incorporates guidelines on student learning styles, teaching methodologies and assessment strategies.
We regularly hold information evenings for parents on the PYP and the Year 6 PYP Exhibition. Resources from these evenings can be viewed any time by visiting the Information for Parents section.
Classes and Inquiry
All students from Kindergarten to Year 6 study the following subjects:
- Language (English)
- Mathematics
- PYP Inquiry: Social Studies, Science, Personal and Social Education
- Arts; Visual Art, Drama, Music, Dance
- Physical Education
In addition to these core subjects, all students learn Mandarin Chinese and Maori. In Year 6 students also have take part in a 'taster' course of Spanish and French to help them with their subject choices once then enter the Middle School in Year 7.
Students conduct most of their learning in their own classroom, and visit specialist teachers in dedicated learning areas for Chinese, Performing Arts and Physical Education.
A comprehensive summary of the Junior School Programme of Inquiry is available in the Junior School Curriculum Handbook. This outlines the programme by year level and is a fantastic and detailed resource for parents. Handbooks are avilable from the Junior School office.
External Assessments
The Junior School utilises a variety of assessment tools, including ICAS and PAT external testing.
Currently, selected students from Year 3 to 6 take part in the ICAS (International Competitions and Assessments for School) tests for English and Mathematics. The following documents outline the assessment framework for each area. We begin with Introductory in Year 3, then Test A at Year 4, Test B at Year 5 and Test C in Year 6.
ICAS Framework for Mathematics >>
ICAS Framework for English >>
Students also have the opportunity to take part in PAT testing in Vocabulary, Comprehension, Punctuation and Grammar, Listening and Mathematics.

The city of Worcester has never exactly distinguished itself when promoting its charms in print.
Whether we're coining a vapid city slogan ("Wake up to Worcester!") or hawking our questionable attractions as a destination city, we typically come off like that insecure dork on Match.com, who women would date only if guaranteed the $46.99 20-ounce prime sirloin at One Eleven Chop House with at least two sides. Even then, Worcester would never be invited in later for a nightcap.
One of my personal favorite documents was the city's dubious marketing plan of 1996, which called for a promotional campaign for an airport that, at the time, had no planes. It also contained this memorably awkward sentence: "Entertainment is one way Worcester likes to relax." Ha! As opposed to what? Water boarding?
So it should come as no surprise that the city has once again embarrassed itself while allegedly searching for a new city manager. I say "allegedly" because no one wants the current manager, Ed Augustus, to step down, as he's "excelled in his commitment to the city," according to the latest citizen group begging him to stay beyond his stated departure in October.
It's quite remarkable, really, how much the city adores Augustus and wants him to be the permanent manager. I mean, this guy can't slip behind the wheel of his car without someone jumping from the glove compartment and urging him to stay, and now a group called AWARE has an online petition practically demanding that he remain, or else.
"Ed is a man of great character, morality and integrity," the petition reads. "So it is doubtful that he will voluntarily (italics mine) change his previous answer from a 'no' to a 'yes' regarding staying on as City Manager ... However, before it's too late, we must collectively convince him to change his mind ..."
That sounds like a threat, and it's probably only a matter of time before Augustus is forced to file for a restraining order or perhaps remind these citizen groups that no means no, unless they plan to either ply him with cocktails or make him an offer he can't refuse.
In the meantime, the city has grudgingly moved forward in its city manager search and the job has been advertised in various publications and trade journals. But, as first noted by eagle-eyed local blogger Nicole Apostola, the sloppy, unpolished ad was riddled with grammatical errors and strongly indicated that city leaders, as a whole, possess the literary skills of Jodie Foster in Nell.
As for the required characteristics of applicants, the ad said this: "Checks ego at the door — gives credit to Council — promotes Council policy." Nicole quipped on her blog, "Because if there was one thing we heard over and over again at the City Manager Listening Sessions, was that we really need to find a city manager who gives credit to the City Council."
Last week, the ad was removed online, cleaned up and re-posted. I spoke to Randi Frank, the search consultant hired by the city, and she said that "different people wanted to edit" it.
"It's their product and they can do what they want to do with it," she said.
I also spoke to Augustus, who said he loves serving as city manager but still plans to return to his post at the College of the Holy Cross in October. I'm thinking that Augustus is leaving mainly because he said he would, and he values his reputation.
"I'm supportive of the search and hope they find the right person for the job,'" he said. "I'm appreciative of the support in the community, but also supportive that the search continues."
But the city's been dating Augustus and likes what it sees. So if it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, why can't it also be a man's?

CLERMONT, Fla.—UMass Boston softball (2-5) snapped a five-game losing streak behind a strong performance from game two starter Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.), to earn a doubleheader split Tuesday morning at the NTC Spring Games Main Complex.
After dropping game one by an 8-1 score to Washington & Jefferson College, the Beacons took game two 1-0 over Trinity College (Conn.). Zullo scattered six hits and one walk over seven innings and threw out a runner to end the game to earn her first victory of her junior season. With the shutout victory, Zullo tied Emily Wolf ('11) for the program-record for career shutouts with six.
Freshman shortstop Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) finished 5-for-6 on the day and scored both of the Beacons runs. She also continued her strong transition to shortstop, as she recorded six assists and five putouts on 11 total chances.
Senior Erika Vecchiet (Pequannock, N.J.) added two hits and her first extra-base hit of the season, while freshman Gia Raczkowski (Stoneham, Mass.) registered her first collegiate hit.
Game One: Washington & Jefferson 8, UMass Boston 1
The Presidents (3-2) scored five runs in the bottom of the first and never looked back en route to an 8-1 victory.
Madison Rotto held the Beacons to seven hits and one earned run in six innings and finished 2-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored to extend the Beacons' losing streak to five. Jen Bahm added two hits and three RBI for Washington & Jefferson out of the seven-hole.
Morse finished 3-for-4 with a run scored for the Beacons, while Vecchiet earned her first two-hit game of the season with a single and a double. Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.) added an RBI single to tie Vecchiet for the team lead with two RBI.
Emily Gray (New Bedford, Mass.) pitched five innings in relief for the Beacons, allowing five hits and three unearned runs, after the Presidents scored five times off of Jillian Shepherd (Norwood, Mass.) in the first.
The Presidents opened up the game with a five-run bottom of the first behind five hits, two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch.
After finally getting out of the inning, the Beacons settled down and kept the game scoreless for the next four innings.
UMass Boston finally broke through against Rotto in the top of the fifth behind a pair of singles. Morse singled up the middle for her third hit of the game and moved over to second on a sacrifice bunt. With two outs and Morse on second, Bove drilled a single down the right-field line to plate Morse and cut the deficit to 5-1.
Washington & Jefferson responded with two unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth on a two-run single from Jen Bahm and tacked on another run in the sixth when Emily Watson tacked on an RBI single.
Game Two: UMass Boston 1, Trinity 0
The Beacons snapped their losing streak in game two by playing their cleanest defensive game of the season. UMass Boston recorded their first shutout of the year and did not record an error in a contest for the first time as well.
Zullo, who came into the game 0-2, earned her first win of the season by striking out two batters and retiring 13 of the final 15 batters she faced.
Morse once again led the Beacons with two hits and a run scored, while Raczkowski and Gray each added a hit apiece. Despite being out-hit 6-4, the Beacons worked a season-high four walks, with Samantha Hemstock (Northford, Conn.) registering the lone RBI of the game with a bases-loaded walk.
Lily Jewell took the loss for the Bantams (1-5) after allowing four hits and one earned run over six innings. The freshman struck out three batters but allowed four walks as well.
After the two teams combined to leave five runners on through two innings, UMass Boston struck for the lone run of the contest in the bottom of the third. Raczkowski started the inning with a single to right field but was thrown out trying to take third base, on a Morse bunt single. With Morse on second base and two outs, Jewell proceeded to walk the next three batters, with Hemstock taking a 3-2 pitch to give the Beacons a 1-0 lead.
Zullo shut down the Bantams the rest of the way, putting Trinity down in order in the fourth and fifth and allowed just a two-out single in the sixth.
Trinity finally put together something in the top of the seventh when Erica Quinon singled to the mound to lead off the inning. Claire Prosp moved Quinon over to second with a sacrifice bunt, to put the game-tying run at second with one out. Christine Galese lined a hard shot to center field, but Natalia Bouyea (East Longmeadow, Mass.) made the catch and sent the ball back into second base, via Zullo, to catch the runner off second and turn a game-ending double play.

Angela Carella: In priest scandals, diocese seems the last to know
The former pastor of St. Augustine Cathedral in Bridgeport now has a nickname: Monsignor Meth.
Earlier this month federal authorities arrested Kevin Wallin, 61, charging him with possession with intent to distribute and distribution of methamphetamine, a highly addictive stimulant.
The indictment said that Wallin earned as much as $9,000 a week selling meth in the Waterbury area and that he has been treated for addiction to the drug.
Diocese officials say they became aware of Wallin's problems in spring 2011, when parishioners complained about his appearance and erratic behavior.
Officials visited the St. Augustine rectory and learned that Wallin sometimes dressed in women's clothing and entertained similarly dressed men. The entertainment included sex acts.
Wallin resigned as pastor of St. Augustine in June 2011 and was put on sabbatical a month later. In May 2012, former Bishop William Lori relieved Wallin of his priestly duties.
After he left the priesthood, Wallin bought a store in North Haven called Land of Oz. It sells sex toys and X-rated DVDs. Investigators think Wallin wanted to use it to launder drug-sale profits.
Wallin once was a protege of Edward Egan, who was bishop of Bridgeport from 1988 to 2000, when he became archbishop of New York. Egan later was elevated to cardinal.
Wallin reportedly was a charismatic speaker who worked in many charities and enjoyed Broadway musicals, which he often attended with Egan.
Now Wallin joins the list of Diocese of Bridgeport priests who have made headlines for all the wrong reasons, even apart from sex-abuse cases.
The diocese had its share of those. Documents that the U.S. Supreme Court forced the church to release in 2009 showed that 109 sex-abuse cases involving 32 priests were reported in the Diocese of Bridgeport, which settled with 64 claimants for a total of $36 million.
More recent cases were about theft of parish funds and unpriestly behavior.
They include a 2006 scandal involving Michael Jude Fay, former pastor of St. John parish in Darien. That year a private investigator went to police with allegations that Fay had been stealing money for years, spending much of it on a lavish lifestyle he'd created for himself and his boyfriend, who was well-known at the rectory.
The parish priest and bookkeeper said they went to the private investigator after they reported the thefts to the diocese and Fay was not removed.
The whistleblower priest, who was popular in the parish, was demoted and forced to sign an apology. He then quit the priesthood, prompting parish anger against Lori.
The bookkeeper quit and filed a suit alleging that diocese officials tried to lay the thefts on her.
In 2007, Fay admitted stealing more than $1 million from the parish. He died in prison in 2009, the year the diocese settled the suit with the bookkeeper, giving her an undisclosed amount of money.
In 2006, about the time the Darien scandal broke, an incident quietly began in a Greenwich parish. The U.S. attorney's office alerted the diocese about an off-the-books account at St. Michael the Archangel. It is unknown who alerted the U.S. attorney.
In 2007, the pastor, Michael Moynihan, resigned amid allegations that he kept church money in secret accounts and used at least $400,000 of it to pay his credit card bills.
Like Fay, Moynihan shared a home with another man and his relationship was an open secret.
In 2011, Moynihan pleaded guilty to a federal charge of obstruction of justice for lying to FBI agents about what happened to the money and for forgery. Diocese officials said Moynihan also lied to them.
In 2012, Moynihan was sentenced to five months in prison, set to begin last September. He must pay the diocese $400,000 and complete 120 hours of community service.
After the scandals with Fay and Moynihan, parishioners from Stamford and elsewhere in the diocese questioned its oversight of priests.
In 2006, Lori released a statement saying that the church "cannot publicly respond to rumors and speculation" when incidents are reported, but it takes credible accusations seriously. The diocese tries to find out if allegations are truthful and "strives to bring about healing." When "behaviors put the well-being of a parish or individuals at grave risk, then the diocese deals with these publicly."
Lori, who was bishop of Bridgeport for 11 years, left the diocese in May, when he was elevated to archbishop of Baltimore.
The Diocese of Bridgeport has been without a bishop since his departure.
Diocese spokesman Brian Wallace said Monday that the church learned from the Fay case, as evidenced by its handling of the Wallin case.
With Wallin, "some people came forward with information that was not very detailed, not complete, not a formal complaint," Wallace said, but "it gave us pause for concern."
So diocese officials looked into it and "became aware of some activities people were concerned about, sex acts in the rectory," Wallace said. Wallin "was confronted. There were some denials. At some point we became aware we were dealing with inappropriate behavior."
Wallin resigned a month after the diocese learned of the complaints, Wallace said.
"The bishop acted immediately. There was no attempt to cover it up or sweep it under the carpet," Wallace said. "We immediately urged (Wallin) to get a health assessment, mental and physical, and come to terms with his problems. Three times he started an assessment and then did not continue. He already was not functioning as a priest, and when it became clear that he couldn't or wouldn't help himself, the bishop removed his faculties."
Wallace said the diocese handled this case better, but the question parishioners asked in 2006 remains -- how does the church monitor its priests?
Though the misconduct went on for years, diocese officials learned about Fay from a bookkeeper and fellow priest. They learned about Moynihan from the U.S. attorney. They learned about Wallin from parishioners.
Why didn't the diocese know? It's a question for the new bishop, expected to be named soon.

Topic Page: Clark, Ramsey (1927 - )
1927–, attorney general of the United States (1967–69), b. Dallas, Tex.; son of Tom Campbell Clark. Admitted to the bar in 1951, Ramsey Clark practiced law in Dallas. After serving in the federal government as assistant attorney general in charge of the lands division (1961–65), deputy attorney general (1965–66), and acting attorney general (Oct., 1966–Feb., 1967), he was appointed by President Johnson to succeed Nicholas Katzenbach as attorney general. Clark proved to be a vigorous defender of civil liberties and civil rights; he opposed the use of government wiretaps and initiated the first Northern school desegregation case. After leaving the government, he taught law and later became active in the anti–Vietnam War movement, visiting North Vietnam in 1972. In 1974 he was the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate from New York but was defeated by Jacob Javits; he also failed in a second Senate run in 1976.
Subsequently he practiced as a defense lawyer in New York and continued his political activism. He founded the International Action Center (associated with the Trotskyite Workers' World party), which, like Clark, has opposed various forms of "oppression" by the United States, including military actions, the death penalty, and globalization. Clark has defended or supported Philip Berrigan (see Berrigan brothers), Slobodan Milošević, Bosnian Serb leader and accused war criminal Radovan Karadžić, Rwandan clergyman and convicted genocide instigator Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, and Saddam Hussein (acting as a defense attorney at his trial in Iraq beginning in 2005). Clark wrote Crime in America (1970).

COPENHAGEN/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Danish brewer Carlsberg (CARLb.CO) upped its stake in China's Chongqing Brewery (600132.SS) to 60 percent, strengthening its foothold in the world's largest beer market by volume, and hopes to increase its holding further, the Chinese company said.
Asia has become the main battleground for the top four global brewers - Carlsberg, AB InBev (ABI.BR), SABMiller SAB.L and Heineken (HEIN.AS) - which need the growing middle classes in emerging markets to compensate for sluggish sales in Europe and the United States.
"It was essential for Carlsberg to get the majority stake. It makes it possible to implement its business strategies and increase profitability," Sydbank analyst Morten Imsgard said.
As majority shareholder it will be easier for Carlsberg to implement efficiency programs to increase profitability, and integrate the business with its existing breweries in China.
Carlsberg, which inherited a stake in Chongqing Brewery through its takeover of British brewer Scottish & Newcastle in 2007, raised it in 2010 to become the biggest shareholder in the Chinese company with 29.7 percent.
On Thursday it completed its purchase of an additional 30.3 percent for 2.9 billion yuan ($476 million).
"With this purchase agreement Carlsberg is taking a step towards strengthening its strategic investment in Chongqing Brewery, based upon its positive outlook for the Chinese beer market," Chongqing Brewery said in a statement sent to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
"Carlsberg hopes to continue increasing its stake in Chongqing Brewery, and hopes this deal will deepen mutual cooperation between the two firms, lifting the value of Chongqing Brewery and the investment returns to the stockholders," the statement added.
The Chinese beer market is estimated to be worth around 451 billion yuan ($74 billion) in 2013 with a volume of 53 billion liters, analysis agency Euromonitor said.
Carlsberg was the sixth-largest brewer in China in 2012 with a market share of 2.6 percent, Euromonitor said. Chongqing Brewery had a market share of 2.3 percent. Carlsberg has its strongholds in central and western parts of China.
Carlsberg declined to comment until all the purchased shares are in its deposit, it has paid for them and the deal is finally closed, a process that could take about a week.
Carlsberg first launched its takeover offer in March, when Chief Executive Jorgen Buhl Rasmussen called the purchase "an important step forward in China", and was given the green light for the deal at the end of October.
Carlsberg's main owner, the Carlsberg Foundation, said in October that it wanted to drop a rule in its charter that it must own at least 25 percent of the brewer. That could open the door for a share issue and further acquisitions in Asia.
Sydbank's Imsgard said however it would be difficult for Carlsberg to grab other large acquisition targets in China ahead of other competitors which have more financial muscle.
CR Snow, a joint venture between SABMiller and China Resources Enterprise (0291.HK), is the largest brewer in China followed by Tsingtao Brewery (600600.SS), Beijing Yanjing Brewery (000729.SZ) and Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Shares in Carlsberg fell 0.3 percent on Thursday, while the Danish benchmark index fell 0.1 percent. ($1 = 6.0913 Chinese yuan)

Summer Video game launches
What your kids will want
By summer's end, 18 new video games will line the shelves of your favorite gaming store. What will make your kid say, "I want?" Let's take a sneak peek.
There are two racing games due out this summer. The first is DIRT Showdown. It's a down and dirty racing game with the trailer mantra of "Race Hard, Party Hard." It's rated E+10 for everyone older than 10 but includes a few choice hand gestures as racers crash and bang into each other to reach the finish line.
In time for the 65th anniversary of the completion of the first Ferrari in 1947, Ferrari Legends launches a new racing simulation game in its series featuring Ferrari's history, 50 Ferrari vehicles and racing disciplines – Formula One, rally racing and GT. Anyone can unlock his or her favorite racing Ferrari, and this one is rated "E" for everyone.
Here's one that will likely be hugely appealing to your youngster even if in name only – Lollipop Chainsaw. It's a grotesque zombie-killing game featuring a bimbo sleuth who hopes to uncover the reason for the zombie outbreak. It's got all you want to avoid, including sex, drugs and brutality. It's rated, appropriately, "M" for mature.
Super heroes make the summer cut, namely Batman and Spiderman. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, for every console and every player 10 years old and older, has players using bat gadgets to rid Gotham City of villains who explode into LEGO pieces when defeated. It's LEGO. It's fairly benign.
With a new movie, why not a new video game? Become Spiderman in a free-roaming action adventure game rated "T" for teens that features Web slinging and acrobatic crime stopping. Look for this game, The Amazing Spiderman, to be available about the time the movie of the same name is released – end of June. Imagine that?
But The Amazing Spiderman is not the only movie/video combo pack out this summer. Look for Disney Pixar's Brave to release mid-June. Players can assume the role of Merida, an expert archer and heroine, or other characters from the film. I gotta say, it's nice to have a strong female character on the big screen and in a video game! It's a flick for the little chick.
How about a little sports action on Xbox this summer? Two football games hit the market – NCAA Football 2013 and Madden NFL 2013. Recruit and revel in collegiate play as you pass, run, catch and score. This latest edition to the long-running series promises more realistic passing and defensive plays. It's rated "E" for everyone just like the second football game out mid-year — Madden NFL 2013. "NFL" is another simulation football game only featuring professional teams and players instead of college play. Pick your level and pick your game.
A host of eerie-sounding video games come to life between now and fall school days – Darksiders II, Sniper Ghost Warrior and Risen 2: Dark Waters.
In Darksiders II, players take on the persona of the Horseman of Death traveling to dungeons and city hubs to prove his brother, the Horseman of War, is innocent of wrongdoings from the original game – Darksiders. It's rated "M" – bloody, gory and violent.
Guess what you do in Sniper Ghost Warrior? You use a wide array of weapons – pistols, grenades and knives – to kill people. You're a sniper. But you're in a pretty place – the Isla of Trueno. Rated "M" for its blood and violence.
When you can't see your feet in the water, there's usually a monster, and that's the case with Risen 2: Dark Waters. Players assume the role of a character charged with finding a powerful weapon. Along the way, the character is attacked by pirates and monsters of the sea. Melee combat, lots of cursing including the "F" word, and gruesome beating of pedestrians make this game a no-go for the youngsters. It's rated "M."
Inversion launches in early summer and features cops shooting their way through a war-torn city to find a girl. Bipedal robot characters make their debut in Steel Battalion Heavy Armor. Set in 2082, the game is rated "M" because these vertical tanks get nude and violent. Huh? Might have to buy that one.
The shooting continues in Specs Op: The Line, a third-person shooter game set in Dubai. In Anarchy Reigns, players will fight – physically and with weapons – through a post-apocalyptic world. And in Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, guess what? Players will be fighting and shooting to save Cybertron. It's rated "M," too.
Perhaps the weirdest of the M-rated video games this summer is Persona 4. In this role-playing video game, players are a teenage boy who enters another dimension in a TV world and saves lost souls on the midnight channel. Of course, our hero has to battle human-like monsters, many of whom are nude and/or have phallic heads and bodies.
Now you know what will be marketed to your kiddos this summer. After August, it's all downhill with only 17 games to be launched until Christmas.
