How to Add Insulation to Your Home
Creating a well-insulated home gives you money-saving results right away because proper insulation makes your home much more energy efficient. Here's how to insulate some key areas:
Attic insulation: If you have loose fill insulation, look to see whether the insulation in your attic has shifted. If some areas of your ceiling are bare, solve the problem by using a plastic lawn rake to gently move the insulation from high spots onto the bald areas.
Be sure to use a plastic rake; with electrical wires present in the attic, it wouldn't be wise to use a metal rake.
If your insulation appears to be in good shape, but you still feel a chill, you may need to add more. Check with your local public utility or a local building inspector for advice on what to do.
Wall insulation: Adding insulation to a wall is a bit more difficult than adding it to an attic because the insulation resides between the interior and exterior wall coverings. To insulate a wall, you have to either remove the wall covering or create small penetrations and blow the insulation into the wall cavity.
It's simply not cost-effective to remove a wall covering to insulate the wall cavity. Therefore, blown insulation is usually used to insulate the walls of a completed home.
Floor insulation: An insulated floor substantially reduces the loss of heat, helps to eliminate mildew- and rot-causing condensation, and generally helps to keep your toes warm when you go barefoot through the kitchen.
Periodically crawl beneath your home with a flashlight to check the condition of the floor insulation in your basement or sub-area. Floor insulation is normally held in place (between the floor joists) with netting or bailing wire attached from one joist-bottom to another. If the insulation netting sags, reattach or replace it.

Q&A with Head Coach Nate Garcia
Related Links
For the first time in 15 years, the UC San Diego Cross Country team will be under new leadership in 2007 as it looks to improve on its NCAA West Regional finish from last year (5th on the men's side, 3rd on the women's) of a year ago. New Head Coach Nate Garcia takes the helm following the unexpected retirement of Ted Van Arsdale in July. Garcia has been associated with UCSD for 10 years, the first five as a student-athlete and the last five as an assistant with both the cross country and track & field programs. Garcia recently took time to discuss the upcoming season, which begins with a dual meet against Point Loma on August 25.
Q- Did the retirement of Ted Van Arsdale come as a surprise to you?
GARCIA- I knew that Ted had, and continues to have, a great love for UCSD, the athletic department, and this program so part of me couldn't have ever imagined this University without Ted, but everyone has to make decisions that are best for us and our family. I didn't expect it, but I understand it.
Q- As the new head coach, what type of coaching will you will take from what Ted did, and what new things can the student-athletes expect?
GARCIA- The bulk of my experiences in the sport of running have come alongside so his influence has shaped the way that I look at the sport of Cross Country. Ted has shown me the right way to approach situations and how to run a team. All that being said Ted and I are different individuals and we each have ideas about how to get the most out of our athletes. While the framework of what has made this program so successful will remain in place I will look to bring some new approaches to help get us to the next level.
Q- What is the biggest transition going from assistant to head coach?
GARCIA- Without doubt it's the fact that all of a sudden I am the final decision-maker. I no longer can look across the office and toss a tough situation to Ted.
Q- Has UCSD's home course changed much since last year?
GARCIA- The course itself is basically the same. The grounds guys do an amazing job of keeping our course one of the best in California. The men this year will be running a 10k at the Triton Classic which is a first but the trails will all be ones used for the 8k course.
Q- What are a few team goals you have set for this year's squad?
GARCIA- Our primary goal is always to represent the University, Athletic Department, and ourselves well. Specifically, both squads look to improve on their finishes from last year. The Men moved up two spots last year in the region to finish 5th and we are anxious to improve on that. The women finished 17th in the Nation and hope to use the experience they gained there to improve on that finish this year.
Q- Has the cross country program changed much since you were on the team in 1996-2000?
GARCIA- Absolutely, first of all I don't think I could make this team! The quality of the experience that we are able to provide for the athletes now is just spectacular. I loved my time in the department but it has been great to be able to watch the department grow in how we are able to make the student-athlete experience a really special one. At the same time, the team itself has maintained a certain level of consistency with the ways that they approach things which is a real testament to the leadership that Coach Van Arsdale exhibited.
Q- Tell us a little about both the men's and women's teams for this year. Which student-athletes do expect to be leaders, most improved and a surprise to others?
GARCIA- On the women's side we have three solid Seniors, Amanda Burkhardt, Diane Dunn, and Emily McGregor who we will be looking towards to provide leadership both on and off the course. They each have the ability to make a significant impact in the Championship meets. Following them we have a great collection of Juniors and Sophomores who look to continue their maturation. On the Men's side we have a nice variety of both young and experienced guys who will look to lead us. Senior captain Ryan Becijos will look to lead the team into competition while 2007 CCAA Freshman of the Year Max Mullender and All-West Region Athlete Jesse Morrill both return. Additionally, Senior Greg Geldman, Juniors Gabe LaMothe and Jake LeVieux, and Sophomore Mike Wright all look strong in early tests.
Q- What has been your most exciting cross country moment to date?
GARCIA- It is always tough to pick out a most exciting moment. A moment in coaching that stands out is winning the CCAA title on the women's side in 2005.
Q- What are some of your interests outside of cross country?
GARCIA- Well, in all honesty Cross Country, and Track in the Spring, take up most of my time, but I love music, surfing, and biking so if I am not coaching or out for a run myself you can typically find me out doing one of these things.

UnNews:You Have Leukemia
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
1 August 2008
Some lonely Irish pub - Hey! Alex! is that you? Wow! I haven't seen you since that huge orgy a few weeks ago. Yeah, that was fun. So how's the life going? Good, good. Back from a vacation? Where To? South Texas. That must have been real fun. I'll bet. Oh, my life? Just the same. You know, patient here, patient there, lots of money. Yeah, life is pretty good as a doctor. And what do you do? professional skiing? Wow, that must be a blast.
Speaking of doctors and sickness and stuff, have you, just out of curiosity, experienced bone and joint pain, maybe some swollen lymph nodes in your neck or armpit? Oh, no reason. Just wondering. So, what were you saying about Texas? Rednecks and cowboys. Fun. Hey, how about dinner at my place? Alright, follow me. Yeah, how's the wife? Oh. I'm sorry man. I didn't know that camels spit venom. Woah. I'm sorry.
Now then, how about some Soup? I love the alphabet soup. It just has the right taste. And it's fun to spell things out.
Yeah. my wife ditched me. She was a whore anyway, so what the heck. And by the way, have you seemingly experienced any symptoms of Leukemia by any chance? Why? I'm sorry man, but you have Leukemia.
I didn't know how to tell you! When you were away on vacation I wanted to come up with a different way of telling you that wouldn't be so depressing. I tried to reach your wife, but apparently she is dead. Then I tried your parents. They're dead too? Holy shit, man, I'm really sorry. You must feel like killing yourself. You have Leukemia, your family is dying... Oh, man. I'm sorry.
Well, I did all I could to find out the results were wrong, but they weren't. And no, this isn't a joke. Man, I'm truly, really super sorry. There is nothing I can do. But maybe we can do something fun, like the bucket list or something. Speaking of which, you only have three weeks to live. If you're a virgin, you better get laid quick. I know it sucks, but that's the way life is.
Dude, stop crying! There is a lot you can do with your life. Take for example, have sex with a monkey, or get a pet ferret. I mean, it isn't so bad now. You can spend all of your money on anything you want. Even snow. You can go to Dubai to the Palm islands or go to Japan or something. You're broke? Shit, man. Your life really sucks.
Well, you can do all of the really dangerous ski routes now. That would be some real fun. In fact, I'll go with you. How does that sound? Dude, seriously. The room is flooding from your tears. Stop crying. But still, how does a ski rip to the Alps sound? Good huh? You lost your passport. When did you do that? Yesteryear. Fine. well, if you need any help or have any questions, you can call me.
No, there isn't anything to cure it. You will die in three weeks, whether you like it or not. Dude! Stop crying! You're making it look like I'm peeing my pants. You'll ruin my ego. Now, I have to go now. You should really do something with your life. Now then, you can give me a call if you need to know anything. Keep it going dude. Live your life to the fullest.

First-to-Market Cordless Magnetic Drill Press from Metabo Features Permanent Rare Earth Magnet
Tool mounts to flat surfaces as well as pipe
WEST CHESTER, Pa. -- Metabo Corporation, a leading international manufacturer of professional grade portable electric power tools and abrasives for industrial, construction and welding applications, introduces the world's first cordless magnetic drill press. The new MAG 28 LTX utilizes a 25.2 V Li-Ion battery to power the tool. A permanent rare earth magnet, requiring no energy from the battery, allows the use of the mag drill in remote and previously inaccessible environments.
The unique rare earth magnet offers up to 2,500 lbs of holding force, which can be adjusted for precise positioning when drilling on vertical, horizontal and sloped surfaces. The drill has a prism-shaped magnetic base that enables users to work on pipe as well, further increasing the flexibility of this drill throughout steel construction applications. A safety strap is supplied for working on overhead or vertical surfaces.
This first-to-market cordless electromagnetic drill press can be used with annular cutters, spiral drills and countersinks, featuring a maximum drilling diameter of 1 1/4" with an annular cutter and 1/2" with a spiral drill. The tool offers a maximum drilling depth of 2".

If Louis Theroux ever turns up on your doorstep, you know you must be in trouble.
Whether it's American jails, white supremacists or notoriously weird ex-Radio One DJs, Theroux likes sticking his nose in where it may not be wanted.
In the many-titled Louis Theroux – Dark States: Heroin Town (BBC2, 9pm, Sundays), he visited Huntington, in West Virginia.
The town is struggling – like many in the industrial US – with the decline of manufacturing, unemployment and drugs.
Theroux followed addict Cotillia, who is trapped in an abusive relationship with a man called Alvin, who claimed to be helping her battle her addiction, but in reality merely seemed to encourage it. Then there was Alicia, whose newborn baby was battling withdrawal thanks to her addiction.
Meanwhile, former junkie Mickey showed Louis around the riverside camp many of the addicts had set up after being made homeless.
One of them, Nate, was evangelical about the life of an addict. However, later he talked about his child – who he rarely saw – and merely shrugged his shoulders, saying: "I don't care about anything, cos getting high is too important to me."
Louis' shtick is well-established – he bumbles in, the well-intentioned naif, and asks questions other, more confrontational, interviewers might not get away with.
The fact we know what we're getting though, doesn't lessen the impact of the despair and hopelessness he uncovers. The hopelessness of the addicts, but also of the authorities, struggling with an epidemic which began with the over-prescription of legal opiate pain pills.
A dark hour, certainly, but also illuminating.
I thought The Last Post (BBC1, 9pm, Sundays) would be just Downton in the desert – full of stiff-upper lipped chaps and demure lasses – but the first two episodes have been more complex than caricature.
Liar (ITV, 9pm, Mondays) started off promisingly, full of grey areas, but seems to be degenerating into the usual vigilante bilge. Hopefully, Monday's finale will avoid the bunny boiler cliches.

As I've confessed here before, despite no longer LIVING in New York, I am still a reader of The New York Times.
(Full confessional here:
And so, of course, I am a Crossword Puzzler as well.
And so, there I was, late last night, finally settling in to have a go at the Sunday edition.
And there I was, rolling along fairly well.
And then it happened.
The clue seemed reasonably straightforward: "Wine Taster's Destination."
Simple, seemingly.
But this is the The Gray Lady. Something clever had to be afoot.
So I'm thinking, "Nirvana?"
No go. Too abstract, and not the correct letter count. I need 10 letters. So I'm thinking more literally. "Tasting Room." Nope. That word goes to 11. Or perhaps "Wine Bar." No luck. Too literal, wrong letter counts.
So I try to meet in the middle, at the crossroads of concept and concrete; I need a 10-letter word for "palate." "Gustation?" Rats, 9 letters. "Refinement!" That's 10! Nope. No go.
If you see where this is all headed, you're swifter than I.
I gave up, and started working on verticals to see if I could spring a clue free.
****Spoiler Alert****
"Eine" and "Yul" gave me an E and a Y at the end, and then the truth began to dawn.
Say it ain't so Gray Lady!
It was.
Napa Valley.
Wine Taster's Destination: Napa Valley
To you New York Times, and to you specifically Mr. Will Shortz, I vow this: You WILL one day run a crossword that features The Santa Cruz Mountains in a wine clue.
Unless you already have. In which case, I stand corrected.
But if you haven't!
Now, what's the bloody name of the bloke who runs London these days?

The San Diego Chargers and their awesome fans have suffered through many indignities during the Norv Turner era, but a loss to the Jets would have been the final blow the franchise would have never been able to recover.
The Chargers did, however, prevail. And while it does completely nuke their chances of being the No. 1 team in these Alt Ranks, at least the Chargers fans can laugh at another fan base for a change.
When was the last time you saw Turner smile like that? Well, that's sort of a smile, right?
And without further ado ...
One of the best on-the-field stories of the NFL this season is the play of the three rookie quarterbacks. And you have to think long and hard to when three rookie signal callers played so well. On the other side, probably the most underreported story of the year is how the Cardinals have managed to accumulate the three worst quarterbacks in the league on one roster. And if you think of other guys who have come through Arizona recently, including Max Hall and Derek Anderson, that accomplishment is almost as difficult.
The Eagles were a little too competitive in their game against the Redskins on Sunday. And yes, style points do count when it comes to the Alt Ranks, so the Eagles will actually take a step back. Having LeSean McCoy return and play as well as he did certainly didn't help the Eagles, either.
If the Lions want to seriously take a run at No. 1 for next season, the team must retain Coach Jim Schwartz. When you look at Schwartz on the sideline, he has that glean in his eye which shows a blowout game can happen at any time. Honestly, it's pretty tough for a former defensive coordinator to have a defense which plays so poorly. And not many coaches would be able to waste the primes of Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, but Schwartz has found a way to get it done.
Wow, you really make a statement when you play host to a team that has looked disinterested in the season and manage to get blown out.
Greg McElroy was sacked 11 times in this game. Think about that. McElroy looked out at his receivers and thought, you know what, we'd be much better off if I took a big hit and lost yards here, as opposed to actually throwing it. Things are so bad with the
Jets, even Tim Tebow refused to go into the game.
And credit Rex Ryan for making the job in New York so toxic, nobody is going to come calling for it. He's a genius!
You have to admire the Chiefs' commitment to being No. 1. In a huge game against the Colts, they decided, you know what; we're just going to have Jamaal Charles run the ball on every play. Although the plan nearly backfired on the Chiefs as they remained more competitive than they deserved. But like the great ones do, they rose to the occasion and did the j-o-b.

In the early 1960s the very mention of the word "thalidomide" was enough to conjure up the vision of a parent's worst nightmare: the birth of a deformed child. During that period, approximately 8,000 babies were born in Europe with severe defects after their mothers had taken thalidomide. The drug, a sedative, had been virtually untested for its effects on pregnancy. In its reaction to the tragedy, Congress enacted legislation in 1962 that put into place the rigorous testing now required before a pharmaceutical product can be approved in this country.
Today, almost 40 years later, manufacturers are conducting clinical trials to see if thalidomide can treat inflammation common to a host of diseases, and combat weight loss and aphthous ulcers in AIDS patients. Other trials are studying thalidomide's effect on the eye disease macular degeneration; on breast, prostate and brain cancer; and on Kaposi's sarcoma (a form of cancer common in AIDS patients). If thalidomide is shown to be safe and effective for even one such use, it would represent a remarkable comeback for a drug that once was universally condemned.
The thalidomide story began when a marked increase in the number of infants born with a severe deformity of the limbs called phocomelia was noted in a number of European countries. The deformities eventually were linked to the use of thalidomide during pregnancy. Mothers who took the drug during the first trimester, when the limb buds of the fetus are formed, produced children with a wide but distinctive range of deformities. Some had no arms, just flippers extending from the shoulders; others had limbless trunks with toes extending from their hips; others were born with just a head and a torso; and still others had cardiac problems.
Thalidomide was manufactured by Chemie Grunenthal of Germany, and was sold over the counter and by prescription by many firms in many countries under license from the parent company. In the end, children in 46 countries were affected. The American company that applied to the Food and Drug Administration to market the drug under the brand name Kevodon was Richardson-Merrell.
Thalidomide was not a lifesaving drug, but only one of many tranquilizers that had come onto the market in the decade after World War II. It was promoted by its maker as being nontoxic, with no side effects, and completely safe for pregnant women. Not one of those statements was true. In addition to the teratogenic effect on the fetus, in adults it caused peripheral neuritis, a painful numbing of the hands and feet that is often irreversible, as a side effect.
There were scientific tests that, had they been conducted, might have shown thalidomide to be unsafe. The drug companies involved, however, did not perform those tests.
That thalidomide was never marketed in the United States was largely due to the stubborn skepticism of FDA's Frances Kelsey, M.D., Ph.D., whose doubts about the drug kept it out of American pharmacies. Assigned to review the thalidomide application, she fought a dogged defensive battle, blocking and parrying every attempt by Richardson-Merrell to gain approval until the news from the European countries made approval unthinkable.
Kelsey was particularly interested in fetal safety because during the 1940s she had worked on the antimalarial drug quinine and had noted that embryos lacked the ability to metabolize quinine. But she had other concerns. She wanted to know how the drug behaved in the human body. She wanted to know about its stability, about its effect on human metabolism, about its basic chemistry and pharmacology. How the drug worked in laboratory animals was not enough; she wanted to know how it worked in humans. Years later, she recalled that, "... at this time there was growing concern regarding the exposure of the fetus to drugs and other substances to which the mother was exposed during pregnancy. ... Furthermore, the harmful effects of German measles during pregnancy had been recognized ... . The recognition of peripheral neuritis developing particularly after long-term use of thalidomide raised in our mind the question as to what effect the drug might have on the fetus who might be exposed to it for up to nine months."
Kelsey wanted to know the answers to questions that often were not asked in those days. Neither Chemie Grunenthal nor Richardson-Merrell, the American licensee, could or would answer her questions, and so the drug went unapproved in the United States.
Long honored for her role in blocking the approval of the drug, Kelsey, who still works for FDA as deputy for medical and scientific affairs in the agency's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, points out that thalidomide was the first drug application to which she was assigned after joining the agency in 1960. "They gave it to me because they thought it would be an easy one to start on," she now recalls. "As it turned out, it wasn't all that easy."
Although thalidomide was unapproved in the United States, it was never ignored by researchers. According to Debbie Birnkrant, M.D., of the agency's division of special pathogens and immunological drug products, "Research on the drug slowed somewhat after the tragedies of the late 1950s and 1960s, but it never really stopped."
One of the reasons for the continued interest centers on the compound Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Alpha, a chemical mediator in the body. Serious infections such as tuberculosis, sepsis and cancer cause the level of TNF Alpha to rise. This elevated level may contribute to the detriment of a patient's condition. In cancer patients it may enhance the wasting process, while leprosy patients may deteriorate because of high levels of TNF Alpha. Thalidomide may have the ability to lower TNF Alpha levels. Results of some test tube and animal trials bear this out.
Another reason is the apparent ability of thalidomide to inhibit the growth of new blood vessels. This could prove useful in cases of macular degeneration, which results from an overgrowth of new blood vessels in the central portion of the retina where focus is controlled.
In the AIDS arena, thalidomide may have the ability to combat aphthous lesions in the mouth and esophagus. In AIDS patients, these ulcerous sores are large, deep and painful. They are also debilitating, and may lead to malnutrition because the patient cannot eat.
With so many diverse applications being tested, FDA originated a Thalidomide Working Group in 1994 to provide consistency among the agency's various review divisions with a particular emphasis on safety monitoring.
Thalidomide is not approved for use in the United States; however, in appropriate circumstances FDA allows restricted investigational use of the drug to treat the diseases now under clinical trials. Over the years, thalidomide has been given to hundreds of patients under FDA's program for single-patient investigational new drug applications (INDs). However, as Birnkrant points out, "We're now moving from a state of issuing compassionate INDs for thalidomide to a state where there are actual clinical trials going on."
Given the known serious toxicities of the drug, those people participating in the investigational programs are given strong and unambiguous warnings. Female patients are advised that taking even one thalidomide pill can cause birth defects. They are further warned:
- You must not take thalidomide if you cannot avoid pregnancy.
- Before taking any thalidomide you must have a blood or urine test done by your doctor that shows you are not pregnant.
- You must abstain from sexual intercourse or use two highly effective birth control methods at the same time for at least one month prior to receiving thalidomide, and continuing regularly thereafter, until one month after the last dose of thalidomide.
Female patients are also reminded that no method of birth control is completely reliable except for abstinence, and that if the patient does not practice abstinence or has not had a hysterectomy, she must use birth control even if she believes that she cannot become pregnant. She must also refrain from any other activity, such as fertilization methods, that could result in pregnancy. She is also warned not to take the drug if she is nursing a baby.
A female patient must immediately stop taking thalidomide under the following circumstances:
- If she has a late or an irregular menstrual period.
- If she stops practicing abstinence.
- If she stops using birth control.
- If she thinks that she is pregnant.
- If she does become pregnant.
A female patient is also required to have a blood or urine test for pregnancy on a monthly basis or more frequently if she has irregular menstrual periods. Pregnancy testing will also be done if the patient experiences vaginal bleeding, or if she misses a menstrual period.
Male patients must be willing to abstain from sexual intercourse or use a condom during intercourse while they are taking thalidomide and for at least one month after the last dose, because it is not known if the drug is present in semen.
In general, all patients are reminded that thalidomide has been prescribed for the individual only, and must not be shared with, or given to, others. In addition:
- Thalidomide often causes drowsiness. The patient should avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medications that might induce sleepiness. Also, the ability to operate machinery or participate in activities requiring alertness and clear judgment may be impaired while taking thalidomide.
- Thalidomide causes nerve damage in some patients. In some cases, the nerve damage has proved irreversible even after treatment with the drug is discontinued. Symptoms of nerve damage include numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, and feet.
Any such side effects should be reported by the patient to his or her doctor, as well as additional side effects such as: mood changes, dry mouth, headache, nausea, constipation, increased appetite, puffiness of the face and limbs, dry skin, itching, low white blood cell count, thyroid problems, blood sugar that is too high or too low, and slow heartbeat.
Although there are risks involved in an investigational program with a teratogenic drug like thalidomide, Birnkrant points out that it is important to explain to the public and to the patients just how the drug should be used. "The goal is to minimize the risk, recognizing that it may never be zero."

Ollie Mayfield, Legendary MPHS coach, dies at age 83
Arizona Daily Star
Editor's note:
This article is being reprinted with the permission of its author.
Long after Ollie Mayfield coached his last state championship team at Tucson High, a decade after he rescued Sabino from an 0-23 streak and built the Sabercats into a first-rank football program, he quietly agreed to coach the Middle Park High School Panthers, aptly named for their location in the middle of nowhere.
Mayfield was 62 then, working the summers as a forest ranger at the tip of Rocky Mountain National Park. But his cover was blown, and someone soon told the local school district in tiny Granby, that Mayfield used to coach some football in Arizona.
That's like saying Linda Ronstadt used to sing a little here.
People in and around beautiful Grand Lake thought Ollie Mayfield was a retired math teacher. That's what he would tell them. But word leaked out, and pretty soon, in Act IV of his coaching career, Mayfield had the Middle Park Panthers winning big.
Ollie virtually coached for free at Middle Park; the school district was so grateful that it discreetly held a fund-raising campaign so that it could send Ollie and his wife Opal on a fabulous vacation on the Mexican Riviera.
He coached until he was 65 and walked off into the sunset the same way he had at tiny Ralston, Neb., in 1956 and in Tucson in 1980. The hay was finally in the barn.
Last July, I drove Highway 34 from Granby to Grand Lake, the road Ollie Mayfield used to travel, and was led to the cabin he and Opal built overlooking Shadow Mountain. Opal had died two years earlier, in Tucson, and Ollie was back in Tucson, in an assisted living facility.
Their son, Todd Mayfield, who coached Palo Verde High School to the 2005 state football championship, gave me a tour of the cabin and let me linger on the deck, absorbing the gorgeous view.
"When dad coached at Middle Park, and for years after, the kids on the team would drive up the highway and honk their horn, a signal to dad that they were OK," Todd said. "They all knew where we lived, they had all been in the cabin, and dad always reminded them to honk. It was their bond, something that held them together.
"Even now, almost 20 years after dad last coached, I'll be sitting on the deck and hear a honk down on the highway. It tells me how much he meant to those kids."
Ollie Mayfield died Friday, Jan. 4, at 83, and the son of a farmer from Cedar Creek, Neb., was reunited with his beloved Opal, 60 years after they met at church in Weeping Water, Neb.
His public legacy in Tucson is that he was a remarkable football coach, winning back-to-back state titles at Tucson High in 1970-71, and that his undefeated '70 squad is viewed by some as the most powerful prep football team in Arizona history. When he coached his last Tucson game, at Sabino in 1980, his 103 victories were the most in Tucson history.
But that's only part of it.
When Ollie wasn't coaching football, or track, as he did at Tucson High for 20 years, he was a lot more than coach. He liked people. He once told me he got more of a kick out of teaching a geometry class than anything else.
There were no scoreboards in Ollie's math classes at Tucson High and at Sabino, but he was just as diligent, as if preparing for a playoff game against Salpointe or Sunnyside. He could influence more kids teaching quadratic equations than he could designing plays from his famed full-T offense.
"When I was a sophomore at Sabino, 28 years ago, I lost a friend to suicide and was feeling lost and bewildered," remembers Melissa Griebel, a behavioral health counselor and social worker in Tucson. That year, on Valentine's Day, in memoriam of her friend, Griebel placed an ad in the school newspaper.
Ollie read the ad, and when he walked into the geometry class, put his hand on Melissa's shoulder and looked her in the eyes. He wanted to help.
"He told the students to put their books away," Melissa says now. Ollie Mayfield spent the day talking about life, not math.
A few years ago, Melissa wrote to her old teacher, reminding him how important he had been during her teenage years. A day later, Ollie called his long-ago math student. They talked about life.
And more recently, when Melissa learned that Ollie was struggling, fighting against dementia, she spent the afternoon with him.
"He still remembered all the sayings he used to tell us," she says. "'Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right.' … Coaching was the vehicle he used, but deep down he was the best kind of teacher there is: the kind that make a difference."
Honk a horn for Oliver T. Mayfield today. I suspect he'll be listening.
Mayfield memorial
A memorial service for Ollie Mayfield will be held Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. at El Camino Baptist Church, 7777 E. Speedway.

Subscribe To Veronica Mars Gets A Snarky New Clip, Warner Bros. Plans A Wider Release Than Expected Updates
I've already subscribed
One of the numerous benefits of Veronica Mars getting a feature film follow-up is that it'll not only allow Veronica to once again face off with her nemesis Madison Sinclair, but because the film isn't bound by the FCC guidelines that dictate content for network television, Veronica can say things like, "Let me try looking like I think you're an asshole," which is one of the quick responses she offers Madison in the above clip, and isn't it glorious? Oh, how we've missed you, Miss Mars.
The latest clip from the film, which just received a March release date, shows Veronica, Wallace (Percy Daggs III) and Mac (Tina Majorino) looking apprehensive as they eye the Neptune High reunion. High school certainly had its ups and downs for all of them, so it's not entirely surprising that they might be a bit wary about returning. And then Wallace and Mac disappear and Veronica faces Madison (Amanda Noret), who apparently hasn't changed at all. From what we've seen from the movie in previously released videos, this reunion will get pretty wild, and Veronica will be facing off with Madison a bit more aggressively. Given their history, it's not at all surprising that these two will be back at each others' throats. The reunion's just part of the plot. From what we know about the film, Veronica — who has left her life in Neptune and work as a private detective behind to become an attorney — will return to Neptune after Logan requests her help when he's suspected of murdering his pop star girlfriend.
In related news, following word that Veronica Mars will arrive in theaters March 14, series creator Rob Thomas announced to Kickstarter backers that Warner Bros. will be giving the film "a much wider release" than expected. He wasn't able to say whether the film would be released outside the U.S., but he hopes they'll have that answer by January the earliest. As for those backers who pledged enough to earn a digital download of the movie, they're still planning on honoring that, and eligible backers will receive their promised download within a few days of the film's theatrical debut. No specifics on how many days is "a few" were mentioned, but he added that DVD and Blu-ray rewards for eligible backers should ship in early May -- that's subject to change, though. As for the status of the film, Thomas says they're finishing up the visual effects and finalizing the soundtrack. The goal is to get the movie in the can by December 20, after which they'll head into the marketing and promotional phase. So hopefully we'll be seeing even more from the film in the form of clips, trailers and a poster soon enough.
In the meantime, you stay snarky, Veronica!

The property sold in cooperation with John-Mark Mitchell of The John-Mark Mitchell Group / eXp Realty of the Carolinas. Mitchell also represented the buyer.
"This country manor is a special, one-of-a-kind home that deserved an equally unique buyer.

For municipalities considering ways to turn their data into intelligence for predictive policing, Motorola is offering its Real-Time Crime Center Starter Kit. By sharing the right information at the right time, law enforcement and first-responder agencies can shorten response time, proactively deploy resources and increase situational awareness, the company said.
The system gathers input from multiple data sources including video, sensors, alarms, computer-aided dispatch and records, and combines them with data analytics and mission-critical radio networks. This delivers law enforcement a single, unified operational view, according a Motorola statement.
The starter kit uses Motorola's Real-Time Intelligence Console (RIC) as the backbone for a system that integrates multiple public safety systems and third-party applications with an agency's existing system. With the starter kit customers can connect up to 100 existing cameras back into the RIC, integrating feeds from multiple video management systems on to one screen and selecting the most relevant video for incident management.
"For most police departments, the focus and field of expertise is crime-fighting and crime prevention, not implementing and managing technology," said David Thomas, solutions vice president of Motorola Global Solutions and Services.
The starter kit, he added, "allows agencies to implement predictive policing tactics and leverage existing technology to provide relevant and timely intelligence to improve closure rates, help stop a crime in action and proactively identify potential incidents before they occur."

ST. LOUIS (AP) – The owners of the Edward Jones Dome said Tuesday they are hopeful the St. Louis Rams won't leave after city leaders rejected $700 million in publicly funded upgrades sought by the team under a clause some officials now regret signing.
The Rams can break their 30-year lease after the 2014 season — a decade early — but have said little about their plans beyond expressing an interest to stay. That isn't keeping stadium boosters from hoping for the best.
"Everything is in play," said attorney James Shrewsbury, chairman of the St. Louis Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, which owns the downtown dome. "There's nothing off the table."
The lease requires that the dome, which opened when the Rams arrived from southern California in 1995, remain among the top quarter of the 32 NFL stadiums. It was built with money from city, St. Louis County and Missouri taxpayers.
The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission, which manages the dome, last year offered a $124 million improvement plan that included a bigger scoreboard and better club seating, with the Rams paying slightly more half those costs.
The team countered with a far more ambitious proposal that called for a new roof with a sliding panel and a bevy of improvements that would keep the city convention center in the dome closed for three years. The team didn't put a price tag on its request, but city officials estimated the upgrades would cost $700 million.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has taken over negotiations with Rams owner Stan Kroenke after arbitration between the team, the commission and the stadium authority failed.
Visitors commission chairman Andrew Leonard said he's been assured by Nixon that keeping the Rams in St. Louis is a top priority. The city has already lost one NFL franchise — the football Cardinals moved to Arizona after the 1987 season when owner Bill Bidwill was unable to get a stadium of his own rather than share Busch Stadium with the baseball Cardinals.
"The governor told me he was going to (keep the Rams in St. Louis)," Leonard said Tuesday during a quarterly meeting of the sports authority's governing board. "I took him at his word."
Leonard served on that very board two decades ago, helping to craft the lease that could lead to the Rams' departure. He wasn't circumspect about its long-term value.
"That was the best deal we could get," he told the board. "We did what we could…It's the price we paid for getting the Rams."
A Rams spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Rams opposed the public release of their stadium proposal, but Missouri's attorney general released the plan under the state's public records laws. Nixon's office also did not respond to an interview request.
The Rams are reportedly considering several stadium locations in St. Louis County, where the team's practice facility and headquarters are located.

The battle continues between Major League Baseball and the City of San Jose. Lawyers for the city filed new arguments in federal court Friday.
The new arguments say baseball's "illegal and collusive actions" blocked San Jose's effort to bring the A's to the Silicon Valley.
It also challenges baseball's antitrust laws.
"Major League Baseball as a business refuses to believe it is subject to the same antitrust rules that apply to all other sports," attorney Joseph Cotchett said in a release.
VIDEO: Fans React to San Jose Suing MLB to Move A's
The brief includes a letter of support from Dr. Roger Noll, a well-known sports economist at Stanford.
The A's have been trying to move to San Jose since 2009 and are awaiting the league's approval. The City of San Jose filed suit against MLB and Commissioner Bud Selig back in June, claiming they've been "engaged in a conspiracy to prevent the Oakland A's from relocating to San Jose."
Major League Baseball has asked this suit be dismissed.
The next step is this process? Both sides will be in court Oct. 4.

CAMRBIDGE, Mass. – MIT hosted its annual Track and Field Spring Invitational on Saturday, welcoming a dozen squads to the Steinbrenner track for a non-scoring meet. Without having to worry about team performance, the Engineers focused more on individual qualifications for the upcoming Championship season.
Despite unseasonably cool and windy conditions, a number of individuals were able to put up strong performances, particularly in the sprint events, which were aided by the high winds. Josh Duncavage had a pair of personal bests in both the 100-meter dash (10.94) and 200m (22.22), barely missing the NCAA qualifying standard but securing a spot in the New England Division III Championship in both events. Tyler Singer-Clark took third behind Duncavage in the 200m with a time of 22.69 seconds. Singer-Clark was also third in the 400 with his time of 50.95 and was a part of the winning 4x400 relay (3:26.35), along with Daniel Ronde, Mac Gager and Patrick Marx.
Marx was a winner in the 800, in a very tight race between teammate Justin Bullock and Connor Rose of Tufts. Marx beat out Rose in a photo finish by just one one-hundreth of a second, crossing in 1:58.48. Bullock came through in 1:58.87.
In the distance events, Tech runners came away with a number of event wins while qualifying four athletes for the regional Championship. Richard Prevost was a run-away winner in the 3000m Steeplechase with a time of 9:46.21, nearly 10 seconds faster than his nearest competitor. Stephen Serene won the 5000 meters in 15:27.14 and Daniel Harper (32:41.30) and Roy Wedge (32.47.85) went one-two in the 10k, with all three easily qualifying for the New England Championship.
On the women's side, Alina Gatowski (17:54.32) and Tania Morimoto (18:18.93) joined Harper and Wedge with regional qualifying times in the 5000. Gatowski finished second while Morimoto was fourth. Louise van den Heuvel had an outstanding race in the 800, claiming second with a time of 2:22.40. Chandler Burfield placed third, finishing in 2:25.85.
The hurdles were a bright spot for the Tech women, as Jamie Simmons began to recapture her All-American form in the 400 IH. Simmons won the race with a time of 1:04.20, hitting the National provisional qualifying standard on the nose. In the 100-meter hurdles, Amy Magnuson led an excellent showing by the Cardinal and Gray, taking first in 15.14 seconds. Megan Bumgarner was second with a personal-best time of 15.82 and Hazel Briner checked in third at 15.98.
Martha Gross had a pair of strong sprint efforts, taking second in the 100-meter dash with a personal record (12.64). She backed that up with a win at 200 meters, coming through in 26.24 seconds.
Next weekend, MIT will travel to Springfield College for an Invitational meet on Saturday, its final tune-up before the upcoming New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship in two weeks. During the week, some of the Heptathlon and Decathlon athletes will compete at Holy Cross on Wednesday and Thursday, April 20 and 21.

Taxpayers and poor communities lose as states slash social programs to pay for prisons. There's a better way—compassion, not punishment; restoration, not isolation. It's less costly, more humane—and it works.
Check out the Summer 2011 issue now.
Featuring work by Michelle Alexander, Wendell Berry, the Yes Men, Gabor Maté, Patrice Gaines, Sarah van Gelder, Norm Stamper, Jen Marlowe, and more.

Where I have emphasized, the NIV is translating the same verb (same voice, mood, person and number, different tense) differently in a single paragraph. I've been able to conceive of several justifications the NIV translators may have used for this decision:James 2 NIV wrote:Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
- Theological interpolation (perhaps in favor of works-based salvation)
- Conformity to the King James Version in "popular" verses
- Varying word choice for good English literary style
- Grammatical reasons (not sure what those would be)
- Contextual reasons (again, not sure what those would be)
It seems most likely to me that the NIV was hearkening back to the KJV (see Proverbs 3:5 for another example). Did I miss any other possibilities? What do you think is going on here?
Does anyone care to venture their own translation?

text: June 9, 2014 at 4:45 PM Meet the new burger at The Old Sage Posted by Providence Cicero New on the menu at The Old Sage, a hickory and mesquite-smoked burger with root chips. Photo courtesy: The Old Sage Up until now there hasn't been a burger on the menu at The Old Sage, Dana Tough and Brian McCracken's ten-month-old, smoke-fueled restaurant and bar on Capitol Hill. A bar without a burger? That's like no S'mores at a campfire. A burger builds trust. "A burger speaks to everyone, as opposed to say, lavender smoked pork cheeks," said McCracken and Tough, speaking on the phone in tandem, as they tend to do. "You get someone to trust you on that level and they come in again and try other things." Sure, they could have copied either of the very fine burgers at their other joints–Tavern Law or Spur. But that would be so un-McCracken-and-Tough. Instead they built a new one, from the bun up.

BDS Budget & Financial Plan Update
BDS submitted its fiscal year (FY) 2013-14 Requested Budget and updated 5-Year Financial Plan on February 4th. These documents provide updates on the bureau's financial situation and strategic direction.
As in past years, we sought input on our budget decisions from several sources, including employees and stakeholder groups such as the Development Review Advisory Committee. A wide variety of suggestions were submitted on ways to enhance services, improve efficiency, and better harness technology resources. We also met five times with our Budget Advisory Committee (BAC), which was composed of stakeholders, community members, and BDS staff. The BAC met from late October through the end of January. Our Requested Budget has been endorsed by both the DRAC and our BAC.
Our Requested Budget reflects our commitment to provide excellent programs and services while operating in a fiscally responsible manner.
Since 2011, permit revenues have been gradually recovering and have allowed us to rebuild our financial reserves and slowly add back staff that were previously laid off. Staff have been strategically added to high-priority programs where workloads have increased and service levels remain below standards expected by our customers.
We added 26.6 FTE to our building code programs in FY 2012-13 and are proposing to add 14 more FTE in FY 2013-14. If these positions are approved, we will continue our practice of filling positions only when the revenues to support them are available and only where the workload remains high.
Next Steps
City Council held an initial work session on our Requested Budget on Wednesday, February 20th. Upcoming steps in the budget process include:
- March 11 – City Budget Office gives its recommendations regarding BDS's budget to City Council
- May 1– Mayor Hales releases his Proposed Budget decisions
- May 16 – City Council holds public hearing on budget
- June 20 – Council adopts the final budget
- July 1 – FY 2013-14 budget goes into effect
You can find our budget and financial plan documents, plus information about the BDS Budget Advisory Committee, on the City Budget Office website at http://www.portlandoregon.gov/cbo/article/433635.
If you have questions about the BDS budget any of the budget documents, please contact BDS Administrative Services Manager Denise Kleim at (503) 823-7338.
