Car Washes Held For Victims Of Monday's Crash

(CBS13) SACRAMENTO It may have started as a simple car wash but it turned into much more today in South Land Park. It was a labor of love for the friends of four people killed this week in a crash.The cause? Allegedly, a drunk driverThe weather was sunny and the mood at this fundraiser upbeat even though all this was for something very dark and sad. Last Monday, at this very spot, Brizchelle Rice, her 19-month-old son Kamall Osby, her sister Brittanya, and Shanice Carter, a friend, were all killed when a suspected drunk driver slammed into their car head-on."No one expects for their kids lives to be taken during the middle of a day on a street as peaceful as this," said Gerald Pliman, victim's friend.A second car wash was going on simultaneously just around the corner at john Cabrillo Elementary, where Brizchelle Rice's other young son attends preschool.

Chess player's latest move like so many others MARK FUNKHOUSER

And yet, he thinks, his chess game is terrible, "like an 8-year-old's." He often gets whipped at these Tuesday night games. So why does he keep coming back? Why does he continue to play if he's so bad?

Because he relishes intellectual challenges. Running for mayor is just his latest one.

- - -

Chess, of course, is an individual game. There is no teamwork involved. It's a solitary endeavor. And in the eyes of some people, that perfectly summed up Funkhouser's longtime role as a numbers-crunching auditor at a desk in City Hall.

Once Funkhouser ran for mayor, park commissioner Sandra Aust zinged him for his lone-wolf approach and "relentless negativity." Mayor Kay Barnes accused him of not being a team player. City Councilman Chuck Eddy called him a "loner." Even now on the campaign trail, Funkhouser drives to events alone.

Replacing auto parts presents problems

A reader once called and expressed this frustration: After another driver backed into her car and hit her front bumper, his insurance company wanted to replace her bumper with an aftermarket product.

She felt that by not replacing the bumper with the same thing, the car's value would diminish.

The accuracy of that claim depends upon whom you ask.

Some body shop owners and auto dealers say they can tell a difference during trade-in if a vehicle has aftermarket parts and they discount the trade-in.

``A good trained eye will look at a hood, for example, and be able to tell that hood is not the original hood,'' said Lou Kaltenstein, president of Norris Auto Group, with dealerships and body shops in Lodi, Medina and Middleburg Heights. ``Would there be diminished value? Absolutely.''

But those in the insurance industry disagree.

Why PCs are no good for gaming any more

MS and their Vole allies best be careful or they will blow their own legs off. I switched from gaming PCs to consoles because of the never ending (expensive) upgrades required for PC gaming.

Quote, "4x Multi-Sampling AA will be minimum for 10.1". MS is doing a good job at killing off open GL and they may up DX requirements too fast and lose support from the PC gaming area because of upgrade requirements. The vast majority of PC gamers buy a cheep Dell or Gateway with underpowered gaming capability and never upgrade them. The also keep those PCs for many years. Look at it this way, Joe Smoe who has been playing PC games buys a new game for his cheap Dell that he just bought.

Running on fumes, Diesel refuels

Brian Hill was confident from the start that the massive center the Orlando Magic drafted out of Louisiana State University in 1992 had the potential for greatness.

Hill, the Magic's coach then and now, remembers being amazed by all of the intangibles Shaquille O'Neal possessed when he entered the league. The size. The agility. The charisma. The dominant game.

Despite all of those gifts, there was one thing at that time that Hill was not certain O'Neal would have: longevity.

''You just didn't think of it at that point in his career, you just didn't know,'' Hill said shortly before the Magic snapped the Heat's winning streak at nine games Sunday. ``You knew he was going to be one of the best big men to ever play the game. How long he was going to go, nobody [knew].
