BAY AREA JOURNALISM / Speculating On the Future / Analysts say S.F. is better served with 2 daily papers -- but have few words of praise for the Independent

Carolyn Said, Jonathan Curiel, Chronicle Staff Writers

Published 4:00 am, Saturday, March 18, 2000

2000-03-18 04:00:00 PDT San Francisco -- For the first time in 35 years, San Francisco will have two morning papers fighting it out for the attention of readers and advertisers -- and journalism critics around the nation say that's welcome news.

The changes in the newspaper world that came with yesterday's sale of the Examiner to San Francisco Independent publisher Ted Fang will redefine the Bay Area's journalism landscape and provide two widely divergent voices that critics had feared would disappear if the Hearst Corp. had closed the Examiner.

"SanFang is free to recruit from the Examiner ranks, a straw poll of Examiner staff turned up no one eager to work for the new management.

"The Independent has historically been staffed by recent college graduates, and I would anticipate that the new Examiner will be staffed by recent college graduates," said David Cole, editor and publisher of NewsInc, a biweekly newsletter about the newspaper business.

Fang might well hire a newsroom of raw recruits, but John Burks, acting chairman of the journalism department at San Francisco State University, said he nonetheless sees an opportunity for the new Examiner to be a significant voice in addressing the Bay Area's growing minority population.

Fang will be "one of the few owners of color of a major metropolitan daily in the United States,"


Burks said. He also said he thinks the new paper might do well to continue the Independent's strategy of focusing on neighborhoods. Fang "could attempt to do the world's first metropolitan daily neighborhood newspaper," he said.

Fang's Independent will continue as a separate, free paper printed three times a week.

Fang's paper unabashedly promotes the political candidates he likes. "The Independent believes in advocacy journalism," according to a full-page "open letter to the readers of the Independent," published last December 7, in the heat of the runoff campaign for district attorney between Bill Fazio and Terence Hallinan. Fang decidedly did not like Fazio.

INDEPENDENT CRITICIZED

Critics say the Independent publishes stories that attack and smear politicians and political candidates opposed by Ted Fang. The paper mounted a vituperative campaign against the salethey are able to maintain the dignity of a San Francisco paper, which could in fact be a major paper."

'EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITY'

Whatever rabbits Fang pulls out of his hat to make the Examiner a going concern, he will have stiff competition from the far-richer Hearst empire. Many industry observers -- including staff members at both The Chronicle and the Examiner -- hope Hearst seizes the chance to turn The Chronicle into the shining jewel in its crown.

"This could be the last great newspaper crusade: to have a truly spectacular newspaper in San Francisco," said Phil Bronstein, executive editor of the Examiner, as he scrutinized a proof of yesterday's Examiner with the banner headline "SOLD!" splashed above a photo of the newsroom announcement a few minutes earlier.

"This is an old


truism, but there is a lot of truth to it: Cities get the paper that their publishers pay for," said Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, a Washington, D.C., think tank affiliated with the Columbia University School of Journalism.

"If the Hearst family has decided that because of long-standing community ties, it wants The Chronicle to be a great paper, then it could be," Rosenstiel said. "But if its goal in Year 1 is a certain profit margin and that's it, then that's the kind of newspaper it will get."

"Hearst has to be willing to really put some money into the institution and the salaries of the people who work there," said Cynthia Gorney, associate professor at the Graduate School of Journalism at the UniversityDay Care Center Operator Pleads Guilty to Stealing Money from Impact Aid Fund at U.S. Department of Education

Washington, D.C. - United States Attorney Roscoe
C. Howard, Jr., Michael Rolince, Acting Special Agent In Charge of the FBI's Washington
Field Office, and Valerie M. Schwarzenbach, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department
of Education's Office of Inspector General's Washington Field Office, jointly announced
today that Beberly Cobham, 52, of Mitchellville, MD, entered a plea of guilty on August 14,
2003, before United States District Judge Reggie B. Walton to one count of Conspiracy to
Receive Stolen Government Property and one count of Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering in
connection with the theft of $995,136.17 from the United States Department of Education
("DOE"). Pursuant to the plea agreement, Cobham has agreed to a forfeiture judgment of
$149,000 to


DOE. She faces up to 51 months in prison under the Federal Sentencing
Guidelines when she is sentenced at a date to be determined by the Court.

According to the facts presented by the government at the plea
hearing, the stolen funds came from DOE's Impact Aid Program ("Impact Aid"), which is
administered in Washington, D.C. Impact Aid is a major grant program which assists local
school districts impacted by the presence of tax-exempt federal properties, such as Indian
lands or military bases. In these districts, the federal properties reduce the local
property tax base that ordinarily serve as a major source of school funding. Impact Aid is
intended to help replace this lost revenue by distributing payments by wire directly to the
bank accounts of the recipient school districts.

Cobham agreed to receive stolen funds into herbusiness checking
account maintained in the name of her day care center. A co-conspirator then submitted
fraudulent paperwork to DOE. The bogus paperwork caused DOE to wire $995,136.17 of Impact
Aid money, intended for a local school district in South Dakota, to Cobham's business
checking account. Cobham then used the stolen government funds to purchase the property
where her day care center was located.

In announcing today's guilty plea, U.S. Attorney Howard, Acting
Special Agent In Charge Rolince and Special Agent in Charge Schwarzenbach commended the
outstanding investigative work of FBI Special Agent Thomas Chadwick and DOE Special Agents
George Baxavaneos and Gary Mitchell. They also praised Legal Assistants April Peeler and
Shavonne Jennings, and Assistant United States Attorneys J. Patrick Rowan Jonathan N. Rosen.


BVHP Town Hall on Sugary Drinks Tax

Help us spread the word! SFDPH is seeking input from populations most impacted by sugary drinks in order to develop funding priorities. SFDPH started by convening focus groups to learn from the community what their needs, capacity and desires related to healthy eating and active living. As our next course of action, SFDPH is hosting 5 town halls in September to:

Share back/reflect on the input from those community focus groups; and

gather more input to inform funding priorities for the sugary drinks tax.

The first town hall will be held in the Bayview Hunters Point – Tuesday, September 11, 2018. 6pm – 8pm; Southeast Facilities Commission, 1800 Oakdale Ave. Please Register here for the Bayview Hunters Point Town Hall.

Fans greeted him at the Broncos’ hotel, and others welcomed him back to Raymond James Stadium.

And then, of course, any nice feelings were eradicated when he promptly intercepted the Bucs’ young star quarterback, Jameis Winston, not once, but twice in the first 17 minutes of play.

The first interception came on the third play of the game. Winston, on third-and-6 at Tampa’s 29-yard line, sent a short pass up the middle intended for receiver Adam Humphries. Talib jumped the route and ran it back 25 yards before being brought down by center Joe Hawley.

From Anti-Aircraft to Aerial Defense

The Patriot System At first, the Anti Aircraft Formation was diminutive, though it earned its place during the Israeli Gulf War while defending civilians. Ever since, the formation has kept evolving and expanding with new systems appropriate to relevant events

Shir Bram and Shir Golan

The past few years have become the paramount period for the Aerial Defense Formation. New systems such as the ‘Magic Wand’, ‘Iron Dome’ and ‘Iron Fist’ are gradually entering the Formation in hopes of speedy adaptation.

Meanwhile, the importance of the unit is ever-growing as it becomes one of the main formations defending Israel from missile attacks.

The significance of the formation was first noticed during the Israeli Gulf war. The threat of Iraqi Scuds was growing, at which point the option ofpurchasing an advanced Aerial Defense system was considered. Our only option: the Patriot.

Following an Israeli-American agreement, it was decided to create the first unit to be responsible for the assembly of a Patriot Battery.The unit was operating in the United States when it was suddenly rushed to Israel and ordered to deploy the batteries across the country immediately. The Patriot system was called ‘PACK-2’, and was the upgrade to the older version, ‘PACK-1’. Aside from intercepting airplanes, the system could also intercept missiles. After the Gulf war, the Patriot system was implemented in the IDF for good.

The Hawk system is the longest-standing Anti Aircraft System in Israel and has been a part of the force since the 1960’s. Until the Patriot entered the force, the Hawk system was


The number of doctors in the population doubled between 1971 and 2001, from 122 to 248 per 100,000 population. However, the distribution of doctors is not even across Australia.

General practitioners are the main providers of primary medical care in Australia, and are also responsible for referring patients elsewhere in the health system, in particular to specialists. Specialist practitioners use sophisticated knowledge in particular areas of medicine to diagnose or treat patients. The number of doctors, their distribution, and the balance of general and specialist medical practitioners are basic considerations affecting access to health care, and also impact on doctors’ working conditions. The cost of public funding for medical services provided by doctors is also an issue, particularly as the average number of medical services provided to each personnumber of doctors per person increasing to 181 per 100,000 population by 1981. Over the 1980s and 1990s the rate of increase slowed, particularly in the five years to 2001, with the 248 doctors per 100,000 population in 2001 only slightly higher than the 241 in 1996. A number of factors may have restrained growth over these five years. The annual number of medical graduates was held relatively stable over the late 1980s and 1990s, in contrast to previous increases. From 1995 onwards, changes were made to training and accreditation for general practice, there were new restrictions on access to Medicare billing rights, and changes to the value of medical qualifications for those seeking to immigrate as skilled migrants, while specialist trainee numbers were gradually increased. These measures


were designed to slow the flow of doctors into general practice, in favour of specialist training and hospital positions.

DOCTORS PER 100,000 POPULATION(a)

(a) Estimated resident population at 30 June each year.

Sources: ABS 1971-2001 Censuses of Population and Housing; ABS Estimated resident populations at 30 June 1971-2001.

The long-term increase in the number of doctors has been partly offset by the increased proportion of doctors who work part-time. In 2001, 20% of doctors worked part-time, compared with 8% in 1971. This partly reflects the increased number of women who have taken up medicine as a career. Similar proportions of women doctors worked part-time in 1971 and 2001 (34% and 36% respectively) but this had a greater impact in 2001 when women made up a larger proportion of all doctors (33% comparedmade up a smaller proportion of Specialists (26%) than of General practitioners (36%). The most common female specialists were Psychiatrists (730), Pathologists (550) and Anaesthetists (520). The most common male specialists were Surgeons (3,000), Anaesthetists (1,600) and Specialist physicians (1,500). The proportion of specialists who were female ranged from 8% for Surgeons to 48% for Pathologists.

In 2001, 43% of doctors in Australia had been born overseas, compared with 22% of the total population. Doctors born overseas have increased as a proportion of all doctors since 1971, when they accounted for 31%. Overseas-born doctors include those who study medicine after migrating to Australia and those who train in medicine overseas and subsequently migrate. In 1998 about one-fifth of employed medical practitioners in Australia had gained their initial medical qualification


overseas and of these, 96% were Australian citizens or permanent residents.2

In addition to doctors who immigrate, doctors with temporary resident visas come to Australia for periods of one or two years under a program designed to allow State health authorities to augment their doctor workforces, and especially to staff positions which are difficult to fill. In general, temporary resident doctors fill hospital positions, or work in general practice in rural areas. The number of temporary resident doctors entering Australia each year increased markedly over the 1990s, from 670 in 1992-93 to 2,370 in 1999-2000, and as at 30 June 2002 there were an estimated 2,900 such doctors working in Australia.3,4

...working arrangementsGeneral practitioners, as defined in the census, do not necessarily all work in General practice medical services, althoughto census night 2001. Doctors who were employed but did no work in those two weeks (for example, those on leave) were excluded prior to the calculation of percentages.

Source: ABS 2001 Census of Population and Housing.

Doctors tend to work longer hours than people employed in many other occupations. In 2001, they worked a median of 48 hours per week, compared with a median of 40 hours per week for all employed people. Doctors had higher median hours than most other Professional occupations (see Australian Social Trends 2003, Longer working hours). Medical practitioners working in Hospitals (excluding psychiatric hospitals) had a median of 50 hours per week, as did those working in Specialist medical services. Those working in General practice medical services had somewhat lower median hours of 45


with 13% of all Professionals and 23% of Managers and Administrators.

Geographic distributionAlthough not all doctors work in the same area in which they live, the number of general practitioners and specialists living in Remoteness Areas are an indication of the number of doctors available per person in those areas. In 2001, 80% of doctors lived in Major Cities, compared with 67% of the Australian population. This distribution meant that there were more doctors per person living in Major Cities than was the case elsewhere in Australia. For example, in Major Cities there were 308 doctors per 100,000 population, 76% higher than the 175 doctors per 100,000 population in Inner Regional areas. Rates for other areas were lower and decreased with increasing remoteness, to 77 per 100,000 population inVery Remote areas. Access to health services in remote areas is affected by the sparse distribution of doctors and their patients, which increases patients’ travelling times and makes transport essential in order to access medical services. In addition, the range of specialist treatment facilities in remote areas is more limited.

The rates above are based on the usual residence of doctors. However, to help meet the health needs of people who live in more remote areas, locums and specialists travel to more remote areas both as need arises and as part of a regular rotation between centres. This work-related travelling of doctors, together with travel for personal reasons (such as holidays), means that the numbers of doctors actually located in Remoteness Areas on census night differs from the number


a Remoteness Area on the basis of their actual location on census night. Excludes those doctors who were not at their usual residence on census night and had also not performed any work in the previous two weeks or did not state any hours worked.

Remoteness AreasThis article uses the ABS Remoteness Classification to examine the characteristics of10% in Very Remote areas. In addition, the proportion of full-time doctors who worked 50 hours or more a week increased with remoteness from 58% in Major Cities to 75% in Very Remote areas. Consistent with these longer hours, and with other factors, including the higher proportion of doctors in Major Cities who are salaried hospital staff rather than private practitioners, doctors’ incomes tended to be higher in areas outside of Major Cities. In Major Cities, 58% of doctors earned $1,500 or more per week, compared with 81% of doctors in Very Remote areas.

There were also demographic differences between doctors in different geographic areas. People aged less than 35 years made up 17% of doctors in Inner and Outer Regional areas compared with 27% in Major Cities and


25% in Remote and Very Remote areas. In contrast, in Inner and Outer Regional areas relatively more doctors were aged 45-54 years (30%) than was the case in Major Cities (24%) or in Remote and Very Remote areas (23%). In 2001, women made up 27% of doctors in Inner Regional areas, 34% in Major Cities, and from 31% to 33% elsewhere.

Overseas-born doctors made up a lower proportion of doctors in Inner Regional areas (35%) than in Major Cities (44%) and Outer Regional areas (44%). However, the proportion of doctors who were born overseas was highest in Remote areas (56%) and Very Remote areas (51%).

In all Remoteness Areas, General and Specialist medical services and Hospitals (excluding psychiatric hospitals) together accounted for the employment of most doctors. Nevertheless there weresome differences between areas in the industries in which doctors worked. These reflected the locations of hospitals, community health centres and other organisations. In Major Cities a greater proportion of all doctors worked in Hospitals (29%) than was the case elsewhere. In regional areas, higher proportions of doctors were in General practice or Specialist medical services (71% in Inner Regional areas and 68% in Outer Regional areas) than was the case elsewhere. In Very Remote areas 6% of doctors were employed in Community health centres compared with 1 to 2% of doctors elsewhere.

Educated in medicine but not working as doctorsThere were 17,600 people counted in the 2001 Census who stated that they had a bachelor degree or higher qualification in medical studies as their highest qualification but who


were not working as doctors. Just over half were not in the labour force (52%), while 44% were working in another occupation and the remainder were unemployed. More than half of the 9,050 who were not in the labour force were aged 65 years or over (55%). Of the remaining 4,070 people, who were not in the labour force and less than 65 years, 61% were women and 39% men.

Of the 7,790 medical graduates who were working, but not as doctors, some were Health Professionals other than doctors (1,380 people), Medical scientists (570 people), or Health service managers (220 people), but most were in occupations apparently unrelated to medicine (5,450).On March 14th, shortly after the @Alt_uscis account started tweeting, agent Adam Hoffman of the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) faxed Twitter a summons, ordering them to produce records from the account. Curiously, the summons "ordered Twitter to produce the records to a CBP office in Washington D.C. by 11:45 A.M. on March 13, 2017 -- the day before the CBP Summons was faxed," according to the legal complaint filed by the social media titan (embedded below).

Twitter's suit is a twofold resistance to the government's disclosure request, opposing both the method and the nature of demanding these particular identities. First, it openly attempts to block the Department of Homeland Security and CBP from "unlawfully abusing a limited-purpose investigatory tool to try to unmask the real identity of


of buildup, there was a showdown with the bounty hunters in an abandoned village during a rainstorm. I made the mud a major factor in the battle in part to drive the heroes to fight on the rooftops of the buildings. The roofs could cave in, or catch fire, who knows. All sorts of great stuff. It was a very well-received encounter.

Ship-to-Ship Battles: I love pirates. I love ships. I love running battles where two pirate ships are close together and the bad guys pour onto the ship of the heroes for a huge, chaotic battle. It is always awesome. The thing about ship fights like this, though, is that the heroes always want to claim and sell the enemy ship. You could make it a haunted ship,and community-based treatments.

Workshop 2 aimed at enhancing attitudes of social acceptance, tolerance and benevolence toward the mentally ill and shaping a community-based psychiatric care ideology. The workshop included a presentation of the following topics: i) brief overview of the history of psychiatry, ii) psychiatric care reform: definitions, aims, services and their objectives, iii) the mentally ill\'s rights, iv) definition and description of psychiatric stigmatization, acts to combat psychiatric stigma, and stigma management.

Workshop 3 aimed at enhancing, consolidating and emotionally processing the messages communicated through the previous sessions.

“Those guys were really on it,” he added. “You could tell somebody had a little bit of training. I just want to make sure the other guys get their due.”

The robbery happened just after noon at the Wells Fargo in the 1800 block along Broadway, Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell said.

A man walked into the bank, demanded money and ran away, Snell said.

Several bystanders thought the man looked suspicious. They had good reason: He wore a shirt covering the lower part of his face and had colored paint around his checks and forehead. He also wore latex gloves.

Once inside the bank, the man demanded money from a tellerbut did not show a weapon, Snell said.

The teller complied and the man stashed it in a wicker basket before running outside.

That’s when the bystanders ran after him, Snell said.

The suspect — a Sultan man, 30 — was arrested and taken to a hospital to be checked out. He later was booked into jail for investigation of first-degree robbery.

As for Frye, he had an interesting story to share with his wife when he got off work.

While reading through The Letters of St. Therese the other night, I came across a letter that her sister Pauline wrote to her when St. Therese was 12 years old (LC 41), in which in one part she wrote "If you see again the luminous trail on the waves of the sea, think of times past, of your old teacher, of Grandmother's Tirelire.."

[... ] the new philosophies and new religions
and new social systems cannot draw up their own
plans for emancipating mankindPUNGGYE-RI, North Korea — North Korea carried out what it said was the demolition of its nuclear test site Thursday, setting off a series of explosions over several hours in the presence of foreign journalists.

The blasts at the test site in the sparsely populated northeast were supposed to build confidence ahead of a planned summit next month between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump. But Trump canceled the meeting on Thursday, citing the "tremendous anger and open hostility" in a North Korean statement released earlier in the day.

The explosions were centered on three tunnels into the underground site and a number of observation towers in the surrounding area. North Korea held a closing ceremony afterward with officials from its nuclear arms program in attendance.

The


group of journalists that witnessed the demolition, which touched off landslides near the tunnel entrances and sent up clouds of smoke and dust, included an Associated Press Television crew.

North Korea's state media called the closure of the site part of a process to build "a nuclear-free, peaceful world" and "global nuclear disarmament."

But even as North Korea made good on its gesture of detente, it lobbed a verbal salvo at Washington, calling Vice President Mike Pence a "political dummy" and saying it is just as ready to meet in a nuclear confrontation as at the negotiating table.

Trump responded by canceling the summit, saying in a letter to Kim: "Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it is inappropriate, atthis time, to have this long-planned meeting."

North Korea's decision to close the Punggye-ri nuclear test site had generally been seen as a welcome gesture to set a positive tone ahead of the summit.

In a statement earlier Thursday, South Korea's National Security Council called it the North's "first measure toward complete denuclearization."

Not everyone was as optimistic, however.

The closing of the site is not an irreversible move and would need to be followed by many more significant measures to meet Trump's demand for real denuclearization.

North Korea also did not invite international nuclear weapons inspectors, opting instead for the impact of the television footage to impress the world.

The event was, indeed, impressive.

The first blast the visiting journalists witnessed came at around 11 a.m. after they made a 12-hour plus trip by


train and convoy through the night and over bumpy dirt roads. That explosion collapsed the complex's north tunnel, which was used for five nuclear tests between 2009 and last year.

Two other explosions, at around 2:20 p.m. and 4 p.m., collapsed the west and south tunnels, according to officials.

North Korea's state media stressed that those two tunnels could have been used to carry out more tests at any time, countering reports that the Punggye-ri site had been rendered largely unusable after the six tests already conducted there.

Also blown up were observation posts and barracks used by guards and other workers at the facility. A tunnel on the eastern side of the facility had already been shut down after an initial nuclear test in 2006.

North Korea said the demolition ofthe facility did not cause any leakage of radioactive materials or have any "adverse impact on the surrounding ecological environment." The journalists were allowed to stay at the site for about nine hours.

Back in Pyongyang, the outburst directed at Pence, issued in the name of a top foreign ministry official, came on the heels of another sharp rebuke of Trump's newly appointed national security adviser John Bolton and raised concerns that a major gap had opened between the two sides.

Choe Son Hui, the vice minister of foreign affairs, was quoted Thursday by the North's state-run news agency slamming as "ignorant" and "stupid" comments Pence made in an interview with Fox News that compared North Korea to Libya, saying they showed "what a political dummy he is."

Survival of cultured plant cells grafted into the subcutaneous tissue of rats (preliminary report).
To evaluate the survival of plant tissue in an animal environment, cultured calli from a Mexican medicinal plant (Mimosa tenuiflora Poir.) were transplanted under sterile conditions into the subcutaneous tissue of rats. Microscopic studies of grafted areas were carried out at the 30th, 60th and 120th days after transplantation. Histological evidence of plant graft survival was found in specimens of all groups. during the first month of subcutaneous grafting a moderate inflammatory reaction around the callus was observed characterized by the presence of polymorphonuclear cells and some macrophages and the formation of a fibrous capsule. Nevertheless, the plant grafts remained viable and a decrease of the inflammatory reaction around the callus was observed in theFor 30 years, Charles Band has been the master of a universe. Not the universe. His powers are much more modest. But since 1988, Band has headed the company now known as Full Moon Features. That’s meant overseeing an empire built on killer puppets, possessed playthings, malevolent bongs, a giant psychic head, and other unusual elements while working outside the mainstream — sometimes way outside the mainstream. It’s also meant directing dozens of films and producing hundreds more, sometimes operating out of L.A., other times out of Italy, and still others in Romania, where he became the first American producer to open a production facility in the country after the fall of the Iron Curtain.

It’s also meant working constantly and for many years to diminishing returns—pressing on when


the usual script. Undaunted, Band pressed on, forming Empire International Pictures in 1983 and setting out to dominate the low-budget marketplace. And for a few years, he did just that. He directed the weirdly charming Trancers, in which stand-up veteran Tim Thomerson plays a wisecracking cop from the future who falls in love with ’80s Angeleno Helen Hunt. He teamed up with Stuart Gordon for the horror classics Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dolls (which seemed to have unlocked Band’s love for bringing creepy, inanimate objects to life). He produced Ghoulies and Troll and Robot Holocaust and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama and TerrorVision and all of them found an audience, in video stores or on cable, if not in theaters. He bought an Italian castle. He vowedFull Moon, which at one point was releasing a new title every month.” The idea was as simple as it was ambitious; Band wanted Full Moon to become “the comic books of the ’90s.” This wasn’t just talk. Working in an office decorated with giant reproductions of comic book panels, Band had a plan inspired by the Marvel Comics he grew up reading: produce film series with regularly released entries, create brand loyalty to the company by pleasing dedicated and growing fan bases, and occasionally — years before the Marvel Cinematic Universe — let the film worlds of the universe he created cross over with one another.

Puppetmaster, the first film in the studio’s most famous franchise, got things started in October 1989. Directed by horror veteran David Schmoeller


and featuring effects by the experienced stop-motion animator David W. Allen, the film is set in a mostly abandoned hotel and pits a gathering of psychics against a group of killer puppets. The film has long stretches of tedium, but its inspired moments make it hard to forget, and if you were a curious horror fan browsing a video store and hoping to find a film featuring puppets capable of drilling through human flesh or vomiting leeches, this was the jackpot.

Other series followed. Reuniting with Thomerson and — for a couple of pre–Mad About You entries — Hunt, Band revived the Trancers series for five sequels (to date). From Full Moon’s new outpost in Romania, Ted Nicolaou kicked off the hard-edged vampire series Subspecies, which produced five entriesThere are many reasons to criticize NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, but “flapping his wings” to a church choir’s version of “I Believe I Can Fly” is not one of them. I do not include myself in the mayor’s fan club – at all – but this is just a bridge too far.

these hardy men and women suffered or died because they lacked crucial information about how to adapt to the habitat. The Franklin Expedition of 1846 illustrates this point. Sir John Franklin, a Fellow of the Royal Society and an experienced Arctic traveler, set out to find the Northwest Passage, and spent two ice-bound winters in the Arctic, the second on King William Island. Everyone eventually perished from starvation and scurvy. The Central Inuit have lived around King William Island for at least 700 years. This area is rich in animal resources. Nonetheless, the British explorers starved because they did not have the necessary local knowledge, and despite being endowed with the same cognitive abilities as the Inuit, and having two years to use these abilities, failed to learnthe skills necessary to subsist in this habitat.

As producers attempt to get the next James Bond film back on track, after the abrupt departure of director Danny Boyle, reports have emerged that the series’ longtime writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, have been rehired to produce a new script.

According to the Daily Mail, Purvis and Wade have returned to the 25th Bond film, having had their original treatment for the film set aside when producers opted to go with Boyle and a script by him and his regular writing collaborator, John Hodge.

However, now the planned 2019 release has had to be postponed, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are scrambling to avoid further disruption, and the rehiring of experienced Bond writers Purvis and Wade – who have worked on every Bond film since 1999’ssides.

Range and Habitat

Rattlesnakes occur only in North and South America and range from sea level to perhaps 11,000 feet (over 3,000 m) in California and 14,000 feet (4,000 m) in Mexico, although they are not abundant at the higher elevations. They are found throughout the Great Plains region and most of the United States, from deserts to dense forests and from sea level to fairly high mountains. They need good cover so they can retreat from the sun. Rattlers are common in rough terrain and wherever rodents are abundant.

Fun Facts

When a rattlesnake strikes its prey or enemy, the paired fangs unfold from the roof of its mouth. Prior to the completion of the forward strike motion, the fangs become fully erect at the outer tip of the upper


than 15 or 20 minutes.

If a rattlesnake has just been killed by cutting off its head, it can still bare its fangs and bite. The heat sensory pits will still be functioning, and the warmth of a hand will activate the striking reflex. The head cannot strike, but it can bite and inflict venom. The reflex no longer exists after a few minutes, or as long as an hour or more if it is cool, as rigor mortis sets in.

Damage and Damage Identification

The greatest danger to humans from rattlesnakes is that small children may be struck while rolling and tumbling in the grass. Only about 1,000 people are bitten and less than a dozen people die from rattlesnake venom each year in the United States. The venom, ato other teeth marks (all snakes have teeth; only pit vipers have fangs too). Rattlesnakes often bite livestock on the nose or head as the animals attempt to investigate them. Sheep, in particular, may crowd together in shaded areas near water during midday. As a consequence, they also frequently are bitten on the legs or lower body when pushed close to snakes. Fang marks and tissue discoloration that follows in the major blood vessels from the bite area are usually apparent on livestock that are bitten.

Snake Bites
The best protection for humans when traveling in snake country is common sense in choosing protective foot and leg wear. When climbing, one should beware of putting a hand up over rocks. Rattlesnakes might be waiting there for a rodent, and the


rotor. The forward movement of the aircraft comes in response to a thrusting engine such as a motor driven propeller mounted fore or aft.
During the developing years of aviation aircraft, autogyro aircraft were proposed to avoid the problem of aircraft stalling in flight and to reduce the need for runways. The relative airspeed of the rotating wing is independent of the forward airspeed of the autogyro, allowing slow ground speed for takeoff and landing, and safety in slow-speed flight. Engines may be tractor-mounted on the front of an autogyro or pusher-mounted on the rear of the autogyro.
Airflow passing the rotary wing, alternately called rotor blades, which are tilted upward toward the front of the autogyro, act somewhat like a windmill to provide the driving force to rotate thetends to fly or flap downward such that its blade angle of attack is increased, which increases the lift exerted on the blade.
Flap enables rotating wing aircraft to travel in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor. However, lift equalization due to flapping is limited by a phenomenon known as “retreating blade stall.” As noted above, flapping of the rotor blades increases the angle of attack of the retreating blade. However, at certain higher speeds, the increase in the blade angle of attack required to equalize lift on the advancing and retreating blades results in loss of lift (stalling) of the retreating blade.
A second limit on the speed of rotating wing aircraft is the drag at the tips of the rotor. The tip of


the advancing blade is moving at a speed equal to the speed of the aircraft and relative to the air, plus the speed of the tip of the blade with respect to the aircraft. That is equal to the sum of the flight speed of the rotating wing aircraft plus the product of the length of the blade and the angular velocity of the rotor. In helicopters, the rotor is forced to rotate in order to provide both upward lift and thrust in the direction of flight. Increasing the speed of a helicopter therefore increases the air speed at the rotor or blade tip, both because of the increased flight speed and the increased angular velocity of the rotors required to provide supporting thrust.
The air speed over theDwyane Wade’s career reboot worth big Miami Heat contract: A year ago, the Heat went into the summer with Pat Riley pressing on Dwyane Wade to “change the narrative” about his health and stop missing games. It wasn’t the warmest start to the offseason, and it got rockier from there before Miami secured him with a one-year, $20 million deal. This time should go much more smoothly. To the surprise of many, Wade lived up to that salary with a strong season and terrific performance in the playoffs while reasserting himself as one of the biggest stars in the NBA. -- The Palm Beach Post

Television ratings for LeBron blowing up in South Florida: How deep is South Florida's passion for all things LeBron James? Arguably as deep, or


deeper, this postseason than for all things Miami Heat.

In case you forgot, LeBron James is still at the top of the game: There has been much conjecture about South Florida’s obsession with these NBA Finals, a fanaticism best encapsulated by the Nielsen numbers, which have shown that this area is more interested in the NBA Finals than any but those with a participating team — the latest coming in the form of a 20.2while the babies' parents watched.

Prime Minister John Key says he is "quite shocked" at the possibility government spies acted unlawfully in the Kim Dotcom case.

However, the internet tycoon's US lawyer says it's too early to say if an investigation into the allegations will halt his case against extradition to the US, where Dotcom is wanted on anti-piracy charges.

Key has ordered an inquiry over interceptions in the Dotcom case by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) while assisting police to find people subject to arrest warrants.

At a post-Cabinet press conference, Key this afternoon said he referred the matter to the Inspector General last Monday - the same day he learned of the breach. Key said he was "quite shocked", but had confidence in the bureau. He told reporters he had been advised notabout illegal spying by GCSB.

He said it was a ''shocking breach'' of strict laws on snooping.

And he questioned how much Key knew about the raid. Key says he first heard of Dotcom on the day before police arrested the internet millionaire at his Coatesville estate.

Shearer said Key is responsible for signing off all intercept warrants by GCSB. ''While it's been revealed that 'some' bugging was done illegally, it is not credible to think that other monitoring by the agency was not signed by the Prime Minister before the raid was carried out.''

Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said a number of New Zealand agencies have ''bent over backwards'' to assist the US in prosecuting Dotcom.

"Government agencies should not, however, break New Zealand's laws to assist another country.

a year, but they were not common.

Following news of the inquiry, Dotcom took to Twitter.

He wrote: "I'm now a real life James Bond villain in a real life political copyright thriller scripted by Hollywood and the White House.''

Dotcom was arrested in January in an FBI-led sting. His case is due to be heard next March.

However, it has hit a number of hurdles. High Court judge Helen Winkelmann has ruled search warrants used were invalid and the sending of his cloned computers to the United States illegal.

And district court judge David Harvey ruled Dotcom should be able to access details gathered by the FBI.

But the judge was forced to step aside after calling the US ''the enemy'' at an internet conference in July.This is an urgent call to the fans of GASLAND and to the fracking movement across the nation, please act now to Save the Delaware River.

Nine detainees from the Guantanamo Bay detention center have been transferred to the government of Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon announced Saturday. Department of Defense officials told NBC News all nine are from Yemen.

Among the nine being transferred is Tariq Ali Abdullah Ba Odah, who has been approved for transfer since 2009 and has been on a hunger strike since 2007. As of July 2015, he weighed 74 pounds and was regularly force-fed.

Americans 'Died Because of' Released Gitmo Detainees: Pentagon Official

The Guantanamo Review Task Force conducted a "comprehensive review" of the detainees and approved them for transfer after examining "a number of factors, including security issues," according to a Pentagon news release.

"The United States is grateful to the government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing U.S. efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility," the release said. "The United States coordinated with government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to ensure these transfers took place consistent with appropriate security and humane treatment measures."

The move takes the total number of detainees atthe U.S. military prison down to 80, with 26 approved to be moved out of the facility, which is located on Cuban territory held by America.

It comes ahead of a visit by Obama to the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh next week to meet with Gulf leaders to discuss the threat posed by ISIS.

According to U.S. officials, the Saudis agreed to accept the detainees after lengthy negotiations, marking a potential turning point in the U.S.'s often fraught relationship with Saudi Arabia.

Obama has long vowed to close Guantanamo. Late last month, Paul Lewis , the Defense Department’s Special Envoy for Guantanamo Detention Closure, told a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing that Americans "have died because of" detainees released from the


detention facility, fueling criticism for Obama's plan.

Even with this transfer, the majority of those left at Guantanamo are from Yemen. They are also the majority of those left who are approved for transfer: 21 of the 26 detainees.

Part of the reason so many Yemenis remain is due to a congressional ban on repatriating anyone back to Yemen amid the unstable situation there. The United States is also not allowed to transfer detainees to Libya, Somalia and Syria.

According to one official, multiple levels of the Obama administration have been lobbying Saudis to accept more detainees, especially Yemeni ones, many of whom have family in Saudi Arabia. That is the case with Ba Odah.

According to the same official, the “intense engagement accompanied by changing dynamics within the Saudi establishment createdIan Lamont writes: "The City of Boston has reached a $170,000 settlement with Simon Glik who was arrested by Boston Police in 2007 after using his mobile phone to record police arresting another man on Boston Common. Police claimed that Glik had violated state wiretapping laws, but later dropped the charges and admitted the officers were wrong to arrest him. Glik had brought a lawsuit against the city (aided by the ACLU) because he claimed his civil rights were violated. According to today's ACLU statement:

As part of the settlement, Glik agreed to withdraw his appeal to the Community Ombudsman Oversight Panel. He had complained about the Internal Affairs Division's investigation of his complaint and the way they treated him. IAD officers made fun of Glik for filing the

The coast-to-coast law enforcement onslaught arrested 105 people in 23 states and included indictments, arrests and the execution of search warrants involving the potential theft of thousands of identities and taxpayer refunds, the IRS stated. In all, 939 criminal charges are included in the 69 indictments and information related to identity theft."

cconnell writes: "The FBI has been trying for twelve years to modernize its case file computer system. The current system was antiquated when it was introduced in 1995 and has been widely criticized as one of the reasons the FBI was not able to "connect the dots" in its terrorism investigations in 2000 and 2001.

The first modernization effort, Virtual Case File, ran from 2000 to 2005, cost $170 million and failed completely.

In March2006, the FBI started the Sentinel project to try again. The original target completion date was December 2009. The target slipped to June 2010, then September 2010, then September 2011 and then January 2012. Recently, the completion target slipped again to May 2012. The cost has also risen, from $425 million to $451 million, dwarfing VCF.

Sentinel will not succeed, given its current definition, budget and schedule. Even allowing for some missing features, an additional 10% budget increase, and another four-month slip to September 2012, Sentinel will fail. I strongly suspect that in May 2013 it still will not be fully operational with high quality."

A remorseful Mr Joyce said he was gently chastised by Ms McKenzie when he visited her the following day to apologise.

The incident triggered whispers among Labor ranks that Mr Joyce had been drunk in the chamber - an allegation he vehemently denied.

"Look, it wasn't my finest hour, although what I was saying I thought was being flattering and it was meant to be a private joke between two people, not the rest of the nation," Mr Joyce told The Sunday Telegraph.

"She said it was funny, but that unfortunately these things end up in Hansard.

"It wasn't as if I was being offensive. I apologised and she accepted my apology."

Mr Joyce said he had had drinks before the debate with staff, but described allegationshe was drunk as "ridiculous".

"No, we had had drinks in our room, but that is ridiculous," he said. "Sorry guys, that is not right."

Mr Joyce said his wife had made no comment on the incident: "She knows me better than that."

Ms McKenzie declined to comment on the matter.

The incident comes a week after NSW Labor MP Michael Daley was forced to admit that he had been drinking before a major debate on the state's workers compensation system after his angry outburst had him ejected from parliament.

MiR-132 has Functions in the Cardiovascular System
==================================================

There is scant literature on the function of miR-132 in the cardiovascular system. However, the existing literature suggests that miR-132 has functions in the cardiovascular system.

The cardiovascular system is controlled by the nervous system, mainly by the autonomic nervous system; therefore, BDNF can influence the cardiovascular system via the autonomic nervous system. BDNF is important for autonomic nervous system function. BDNF is known to play an important role in regulating the survival of neurons in the autonomic nervous system and the formation of their synaptic connectivity with their peripheral targets in the cardiovascular, digestive, and other organ systems. Emerging evidence suggests that BDNF may also affect the function of the autonomicLive updates

The inquest heard how 11 year old Megan White from Cheltenham had been "merry and laughing" with her friends at All Saints' Academy in the town. But she suddenly fell unwell and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where tests revealed she had suffered a small bleed on her brain.

Megan collapsed at school on January 13. She was taken to hospital where investigations showed a large bleed on her brain.

"She was transferred to Bristol Children's Hospital where despite treatment, she died on January 14. I am sorry that the experts have not been able to make it any clearer as to why this happened. She died of natural causes."

improved structural efficiency due to its ability to orient the fibers along local internal loads paths, which potentially results in lighter structures and lower costs than in structures made by other production methods.
The tows of material used in automated fiber placement are typically wound onto spools. Because the tows include a resin, a backing film, made of paper or another suitable material, is typically applied to the tow as it is wound onto the spool to keep adjacent windings of the tow from sticking to one another.
As the fiber tows are unwound from the spools, during the fiber placement process, the backing paper must be separated from the tow, and be stored, or otherwise disposed of. In prior fiber placement machines, the backing paper has typically been pulledwhat it was he was looking at – an empty spot, no pictures or product. No windows, no visibility.I grinned as he gripped both hands under my ears and pulled me towards him. The excitement alone was enough to make me cum, but I was evenly intrigued by his moves. He was seducing me; I could feel it when he kissed me — hard on the lips but soft with the tongue. He left his tongue dance around in my mouth, on my tongue, the tip of my mouth, and the sides of my cheeks. It was like he was exploring every inch of my mouth.His tongue moved down my chin, to my neck. He nibbled on one spot for a while, and then he put his hands


on my hips and turned me around, so my back was to his chest. He pulled my hair to the side and began to suck on the back of my neck. He could feel me quiver, because as I did, he sucked softer and then harder. He moved his tongue from left to right ar

He ran his hands up towards my neck and then began to unbutton my shirt from behind. As soon as he got to the bottom, I turned and faced him. He looked quickly at my bare breasts and then he grabbed my neck and pushed me into him. We kissed heavily for a while, until I broke free and ran my tongue around his earlobes. I danced around his neck with my lips and then pushed him on his back. I straddled him and tore off his shirt, unbuckled his belt and danced my tongue around his stomach.

He danced his tongue around my clit as I began to shutter.

We, the undersigned, wish to express our solidarity with the people and workers of Venezuela, immersed in a terrible social crisis, and who suffer a severe repression in recent protests against hunger and in defence of democratic rights.

Our solidarity with the venezuelan people and their struggles materialises in the rejection of the government of Nicolas Maduro, supported by the Armed Forces, which has killed over 120 people protesting against the hunger, the misery and the government.

We do not support the pro-American right wing opposition of MUD (Democratic Unity Roundtable). We repudiate all interference in Venezuela by European and American imperialism, headed today by Donald Trump.

Maduro has denounced a "coup plan" and a so called economic war, however, the realIn this path, we support any unitary initiative that contributes to the construction of an independent socialist and of the workers´ political alternative.

peasants everywhere.

His cause was joined by millions of poor Mexicans, driven by their common belief that “la tierra es de quien la trabaja” -- the land is for the person who works it. They represented a fundamental challenge to the wealthy and powerful -- and ultimately led to President Venustiano Carranza’s order to assassinate Zapata in 1919.

The son of the revolutionary leader, Diego’s father did not see much of General Zapata during his childhood, as the patriarch was always participating in peasant organizations and campaigns. “I remember the day he took my three brothers and I to register, as an aunt kept insisting, since we did not have birth certificates and were only accepted in schools as observers,” recalled Diego, who is now 46 years old.

His brothers andmother now all live in the U.S. Two of them are also undocumented; Jorge Gabriel, who lives in North Carolina and works as a gardener, and Diego Emiliano, who makes sandwiches at a deli in New York City.

The third brother, Alex Eufemio, is a naturalized U.S. citizen and a chef at a French restaurant in Brooklyn. He was the only family member able to travel to Mexico for their father’s funeral in 2008. Through Eufemio, their mother, Gloria Cordero, acquired permanent U.S. residence and works in a chicken processing plant in North Carolina.

Like his grandfather Emiliano Zapata, Diego was born in Anenecuilco, in the state of Morelos in Mexico, where he lived until he was 13 and his parents separated.

The healthiest hearts in the world have been found in the Tsimane people in the forests of Bolivia, say researchers.

Barely any Tsimane had signs of clogged up arteries - even well into old age - a study in the Lancet showed.

"It's an incredible population" with radically different diets and ways of living, said the researchers.

They admit the rest of the world cannot revert to a hunter-gathering and early farming existence, but said there were lessons for all of us.

Tsimane?

Image copyright Ben Trumble

Tsimane is pronounced "chee-may-nay".

There are around 16,000 Tsimane who hunt, fish and farm on the Maniqui River in the Amazon rainforest in the Bolivian lowlands.

Their way of life has similarities to human civilisation thousands of years ago.

It took the team of scientists and doctorssteps a day and the women 16,000.

Even the over-60s have a step count over 15,000.

It makes most people's struggle to get near 10,000 seem deeply insignificant.

"They achieve a remarkable dose of exercise," says Dr Gregory Thomas, one of the researchers and from Long Beach Memorial medical centre in California.

So how magnificent are their hearts?

Image copyright Michael Gurven

The scientists looked for coronary artery calcium or "CAC" - which is a sign of clogged up blood vessels and risk of a heart attack.

The scientists scanned 705 people's hearts in a CT scanner after teaming up with a research group scanning mummified bodies.

At the age of 45, almost no Tsimane had CAC in their arteries while 25% of Americans do.

By the time they reach age 75, two-thirds of Tsimane are CAC-free


The death toll from Israeli air strikes near the Syrian capital overnight rose to 5, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Sunday.

Earlier, the observatory reported that two from the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah and one Iranian had been killed.

"The Israeli raids targeting Iranian and Hezbollah posts... in the southeast of Damascus killed at least three people -- two from Hezbollah and a third who was Iranian," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.

Last night, the IDF confirmed it had carried out multiple strikes against Iranian targets outside Damascus following Intelligence that Iran was planning to launch armed drones at northern Israel.

The strikes targeted Iranian Quds Force operatives and Shiite militias which were preparing to advance attack plans targeting sites in Israel from within Syria over therusher. While the top of round two may provide opportunities to address the former weakness, this draft is not deep on the latter. Mack is a relentless, violent edge disruptor with special traits.

4. Cleveland Browns -- Texas A&M OT Jake Matthews

Armed with ten selections in his first-ever draft, rookie GM Ray Farmer may opt to go "safe" with his first-ever pick, aiming for a top-five double rather than a home run. A strong bet to be a solid long-term starter and natural fit in new playcaller Kyle Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme, Matthews' addition would allow Cleveland to kick incumbent RT Mitchell Schwartz inside to guard. With Alex Mack, Joe Thomas, and John Greco returning, the Browns would suddenly boast a top-shelf offensive line. Cleveland has two more top-35 picks


wheels and an attacking style of play. He projects as a shutdown slot defender who won't embarrass himself when asked to move outside. Cincinnati is needy at corner with Leon Hall coming off his second Achilles' tear in three years, and Terence Newman and Pacman Jones both well past their primes. 2012 first-rounder Dre Kirkpatrick has been a big disappointment.

25. San Diego Chargers -- Ohio State CB Bradley Roby

Roby's stock is picking up steam, so it's entirely possible he doesn't last into the 20s. He is a special athlete and covers with swagger. It's just hard to overlook Roby's inconsistent tape and technical flaws. Either way, I think he would be a value pick for the Chargers, who are the NFL's most cornerback-needy team. Shareece Wright would beathleticism to the second level of Jack Del Rio's defense.

32. Seattle Seahawks -- Minnesota DL Ra'Shede Hageman

The Seahawks run a defense that utilizes 3-4 concepts on the strong side and 4-3 concepts on the weak side. Their strong-side end for the last three years was Red Bryant, whom Seattle was forced to release in a salary-cap move. Hageman is a far more athletic version of Bryant with much more disruptive ability. The biggest knock on Hageman is his inconsistent snap-to-snap effort. He would be a role player on the Seahawks, contributing 25-30 snaps per game.

33. Houston Texans -- Central Florida QB Blake Bortles

Securing Bortles at 33 would be a coup for the Texans. It would also more easily allow the team to justify treating Bortles as a developmental


LSU QB Zach Mettenberger

Mettenberger is the anti-Christian Ponder with a big arm and nonexistent mobility, but most importantly a quarterback prospect who perfectly fits the Norv Turner mold. He'd quickly push Matt Cassel for playing time.

41. Buffalo Bills -- Ohio State OT Jack Mewhort

The Bills can afford to pass on right tackles at No. 9 because starters there are acquirable later on. Mewhort is technically sound with impressive versatility. He can play anywhere on the line.

42. Tennessee Titans -- Ohio State RB Carlos Hyde

Hyde is the back new Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt wanted Beanie Wells to be in Arizona. A pro-ready feature runner, Hyde could carry the Titans' offense until they find a franchise quarterback.

43. New York Giants -- Notre Dame TE Troy Niklas

Reports indicate the Giants area big-time round-two wideout at the draft's deepest position. Despite the Golden Tate signing, the Lions aren't done upgrading Matthew Stafford's weapons.

46. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Florida State WR Kelvin Benjamin

The Steelers have reportedly promised Ben Roethlisberger a "big receiver" in this year's draft. Benjamin is a boom-or-bust prospect, but would give Pittsburgh a needed red-zone threat.

47. Dallas Cowboys -- Missouri DE Kony Ealy

Dallas currently "boasts" the weakest defensive line in the league. Ealy isn't an edge-bending pass rusher, but could develop into a Michael Bennett-type player at defensive end and tackle.

48. Baltimore Ravens -- Florida State DB Lamarcus Joyner

I expect this year's top-three safeties to fly off the board in round one. Joyner would be a solid fallback target for GM Ozzie Newsome. He could play a Tyrann


is an undersized but lightning-fast linebacker/safety "tweener" who's drawn comparisons ranging from Lavonte David to Kam Chancellor. Smith could contribute in sub-packages and on special teams initially, and potentially grow into a starting outside 'backer for New England.

63. Denver Broncos -- Vanderbilt WR Jordan Matthews

Matthews has similarities to Eric Decker with superior measurables, if inferior college tape. 33-year-old Wes Welker is likely in his final season with Denver. Emmanuel Sanders could replace Welker in the slot in 2015, with Matthews taking over No. 2 wideout across from Demaryius Thomas.

64. Seattle Seahawks -- Florida OG Jon Halapio

Halapio is a relentless blocker with medical concerns but punishing ability in the running game. Seattle needs to upgrade the right side of its offensive line. Halapio projects as NFL right guard.of Jim Harbaugh, who is now the coach of the San Francisco 49ers.

Shaw coped with the departure of Andrew Luck by using a combination of Josh Nunes and Kevin Hogan, with Hogan taking over the starting quarterback job in the latter stages of the season.

The Cardinal are ranked No. 1 in the nation in rushing defense (71.3 yards per game), sacks (53) and tackles for loss (110).

“How he has handled himself during the course of the year, through thick and thin and the grind of the year, has been impressive,” Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir said Sunday.

The highlight of the year was upsetting the No.2-ranked Oregon Ducks on the road in overtime, handing the Ducks their first loss of the season. Stanford also beat UCLA 35-17 in the
