Volleyball and basketball in Germantown: It's all one big happy family
Both programs' success is celebrated
The intersection of volleyball and basketball was almost made physical Friday night late in Germantown's WIAA state boys volleyball quarterfinal match loss to eventual state champion Appleton North at Wisconsin Lutheran College.
It came when Germantown's 6-11 first-team all-state opposite hitter Luke Fischer made an absolutely terrific belly flop, laid-out-to-the-max fist dig to keep a rally alive for the Warhawks.
That he made the play just a couple of feet in front of his basketball coach and Germantown Christmas Parade grand marshal Steve Showalter was not lost on him or anyone else for that matter.
"Hey, it was still volleyball season," the Indiana basketball recruit Fischer said. "I wanted to give it my all for the team."
And Showalter, whose defending WIAA State Division 1 boys basketball championship team began practice last week without five players including key cogs such as Fischer, his son, Jake Showalter, and Jon Averkamp because of the success of the volleyball team, wouldn't have had it any other way.
"No, I didn't see my season flashing before me (when Fischer hit the deck)," coach Showalter said with a laugh of Fischer's all-state caliber play. "I've been watching him do stuff like that all fall. He's just come an amazingly long distance (in volleyball) considering he just started it about a year ago. He's just so athletic and can do so many things."
Warhawks ranked No. 1
Fischer, who is the fifth-ranked prep basketball player in the state this year, is one of the primary reasons why the Wisconsin State Basketball Yearbook gave the defending champion Warhawks its pre-season No. 1 ranking.
He laughs when it's suggested that despite his basketball committal to Indiana (which Sports Illustrated gave the pre-season No. 1 collegiate ranking too in its cover story last week), that big-time volleyball colleges should be sending him batches of mail, trying to change his mind and his sport.
After all, the worst he can do to them is to say no.
Fischer signed his letter of intent to attend and play basketball for Indiana this week.
As noted before, it's been a happy intersection for the Warhawks volleyball and basketball teams these last few years. Fischer, Jake Showalter, Averkamp and all-state volleyball honorable mention selection Zak Showalter led the Germantown netters to their first-ever WIAA state tournament berth and a slot in the state semifinals in 2011.
Zak was later the leader of the state championship basketball team and a first-team all-state selection in hoops. He made an impressive debut for the Wisconsin basketball team on Sunday, with five points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal in just nine minutes of the Badgers' win over Southeast Louisiana.
His former coach and dad Steve Showalter said that Zak is working hard in practice at both the point and shooting guard positions.
"Dad" Showalter finds some pleasant serendipity in the rise of both the basketball and volleyball programs at Germantown.
Team has jelled
"It's like Brian (volleyball coach Rushmer) said the other week about at first having a bunch of basketball players try to play volleyball but now noting that they're a real volleyball team," he said. "That team has jelled so well together. They play so well as a unit. They have great focus and that's fun to watch."
And it's clear that those kids are having a good time playing their new found sport.
"We all know basketball can be hard work," Steve Showalter said. "So it's like Jon (Averkamp) said (about volleyball) 'We're just having fun out there.' That's what makes them so enjoyable to watch."
The pressure of repeating will be on the Warhawks as they look to pull off a rare state basketball repeat this winter, but those players (along with other volleyball veterans turned basketball players Troy Thompsen and Brian Studer) can now enjoy these volleyball memories for a full year.
Averkamp has become so adept at his new sport that Steve Showalter said he wouldn't be surprised if Averkamp has to make a hard collegiate decision between playing hoops or volleyball when he moves on in the fall of 2014.
"He's so good in both right now," Showalter said.
Interestingly enough, the basketball/volleyball intersection had another local tie last weekend when the tourney came to Wisco. Senior setter and all-around Connor Gross earned state player of the year honors in leading Appleton North to an unbeaten state title.
Gross is the son of former Menomonee Falls North basketball star and 2011 Falls Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Dave Gross who could be seen happily following his son on his road to success all weekend.
As for Rushmer, who has benefitted from all this basketball-turned-volleyball integration, he couldn't be happier for his players, especially Fischer.
"Luke is everything that you could ask for in a kid," Rushmer said. "He's a heck of a student, a great athlete and a good person to boot. It's been a privilege to have had him in the program."

The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. Well, the German Russians anyway. The American Historical Society of Germans from Russia will have their annual convention at the Little America Hotel and Convention Center in Salt Lake City on Aug. 1-7.
Although the society promotes family, genealogical, and historical research, this will be the first time that this group has met in Utah for their convention.
The national AHSGR members are excited about the conference venue, and about this opportunity to visit the famous Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Local society associates are also hopeful to recruit new members for the Intermountain Chapter here in the Salt Lake area. This is shaping up to be a win-win situation all around. Bill Dellos from Orangeville is instrumental in the planning of the event. He is the local chapter president.
The AHSGR works to preserve the history and identity of descendents of those German peoples who moved to Russia in the mid to late 1700s, at the invitation of Catherine the Great.
Catherine was a German-born princess who had married Peter III of Russia. Peter was assassinated within months of becoming Tsar, and Katerina was able to assume the throne. Her Manifestos, invitations for Western Europeans to settle in Russia, were ultimately answered by tens of thousands of German people who were settled in the Volga River region, South Russia, Volhynia, Crimea, and the Caucasus.
Most of these villages in Russia maintained their German culture, language, and religion for many decades under the favorable provisions of the several Manifestos.
But some 100 years later, Tsar Alexander II, worried about the large population of German-speaking citizens in the heart of Russia, systematically dismantled the privileges and special conditions these villagers had enjoyed for so long.
Their exemption from military service was revoked, requirements concerning language and cultural assimilation were enacted and enforced, and in the late 1800- and early 1900s a large scale emigration began which took these peoples all over the world, many to the heartland of the USA.
Many of the early German-Russians immigrants to the US settled in the Midwest, where they could farm the plains, or find jobs with the expanding railroads. The headquarters of the organization is in Lincoln, Neb. and many chapters fill the plains states.
"We expect the heightened awareness that this convention will bring for our AHSGR Intermountain Chapter, may boost our local membership," says Dellos, who leads the small local chapter members that will help host the convention.
"We're excited, and a bit overwhelmed about this opportunity of helping host the convention, and are very grateful for all the help provided by the headquarters organization," Dellos explained.
Highlights of the conference will include tours of local points of interest, cultural music by performers such as the Polkatonics and Kerry Christensen - Alpine and Western Yodeling Master.
Of course, there will be an excellent selection of outstanding classes and presentations for German-Russian researchers, including Village Night activities where descendants of settlers from specific villages can meet and share research notes and family stories.
The 2011 AHSGR Conference is less than a week away so interested persons are invited to learn more by visiting the AHSGR conference webpage at: http://www.ahsgr.org/Conventions/2011Convention/2011_Convention.htm.

Any fight where Kenpachi is involved.. That is all.
Any fight where Kenpachi is involved.. That is all.
Hellsing Ultimate and Cowboy Bebop (series and movie) have the best fight scenes IMO.
Bleach final main arc fight scenes are good too (Ichigo v Bakuya, Ichigo v number 4, Ichigo v Aizen).
Naruto has good fight scenes too, my favorite is Sage mode vs. Pain
"It's not what we don't know that gets us into trouble; it's what we know for sure that just ain't so." ~ Mark Twain
"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time" ~ Jesus of Nazareth
"不會難倒*朗普" ~ Dalai Lama
It seems the consensus that giant fighting robots are cool so I found a couple scenes I remembered
This show has such amazingly beautiful fight scenes yet some are just so bloody
(I looked for more but all I found were amv's)
I first want to clarify that almost every iteration of Gundam I have absolutely hated due to its use of "blur" fights... one second the enemy's there, the next he's behind you and oh look you've exploded as he walks away casually, but Gundam 08th MS Team always stuck out for me because it bucked that trend and not a single character on it is considered an ace pilot (or newtype or whatever they're called), therefore near the series end when the enemy finally unleashes its ace it's kind of a big deal as he proceeds to... okay, just watch it. Sinks into a bit of typical Japanese cheesiness near 6:15, but all in all it's definitely in my top 10 anime fights. Only read page 1 and page 4 so sorry if someone's already posted this.
Well, since Siam already posted this on the second page (you rock btw!), I'll just state that the three others to come to mind for me have already been mentioned:
Ichigo vs Kenpachi in Bleach
Spike vs. Vincent Final Fight (Cowboy Bebop Movie)
Shikamaru vs. Temari (Naruto)

- Li'l Jon of the East side boyz
Did we do some sort of Quantum Leap type interdimensional travel when we were buckled at the hockey game on St. Patty's day? Was this really our beloved local hockey squadron in action? Did Sam Gagner really have a hat trick to go along with his five points? Did "The Other Ales" have a 4 point night too? Did the mighty Oil really lay an 8-1 fruit booting to the dastardly Avalanche?
Great beard of Thor that was a hockey match. We aren't nearly confident enough in this roster right now to draw any conclusions that would apply to the remainder of the season and we don't want to jinx anything by being overly "optimistic." But well done lads. Underpaid athletes getting 'er done for the love of the sport really brings a tear to our one working eye.
All we can say is this:
Win tonight please.
Nation Party tonight
And speaking of tonight's game against the Hawks, what better place to watch it then with 50 of your closest internet-related chums? It's our second party of the year at Bourbon Street Hudsons tonight Nation and with a PPV of such magnitude on a Friday night, it promises to be a gong show regardless of how many show up. The last time we threw an orgy 1 person showed up. BUT – the last we threw a Nation party 52 peeps showed up. And Hudsons gives $2 to Kids with Cancer for every evite we redeem. That's all kinds of nice and amounts to some kind of dough.
So come join us for some fun tonight rather than sitting at home wearing nothing but a smile waiting to pause your digital cable when Souray is prominently featured on screen so you can have a long conversation with the bearded one.*

It was also brought to our attention late last night that superstar Citizen of the Nation buck75 has donated not one but TWO pairs of tickets to upcoming Oilers games for tonight's event. Are you kidding us buck75? Two sets of tickets? Are you an angel sent by the Hockey Gods?
While the rest of us sit around contracting herpes** or worse buck75 is donating more tickets to the Nation so that we can sell them at the party to raise loot for Kids with Cancer. What a guy.

Speaking of stat's that make you shake your head, can anyone explain to me how SportsNet and todays Journal have Whiffcoff at -1 when he had a point and Colorado only scored one goal? *shruggs shoulders and shakes head in confusion*

Ooh ooh ohh let me show you how Oilersnation has taught me a few things.
Here goes. Horcoff scored his goal on the PP which does not count for +/- and the Avs scored at even strength while Horcoff was on the ice. Therefore, -1.
@ Travis Dakin: I did not know that bit bout the PP not counting towards +/-. That makes perfect sense now. Thanks so very much. *skips happily to the office kitchen, humming to himself, to get another cuppa coffee*
@ Travis Dakin: Ohh right, i thought it was just a typo and was supposed to be +1. Here is another question from that same piece of television awesomnitudeness: WTF was the point of that graphic? I think it showed Whiffcoff, Super Gagner and Kotaliiik (pronounced the same way as dereliiict from zoolander). So Gags and Kotalik have 4 points each and a nice + rating, then you have horc looking all sad with a 1 a 0 and a -1. Then the announcer guy basically says and heres some dudes on the oilers, Gagner and Kotalik are cool eh guys? If they were comparing horcoff to the 2nd line to say: "the 2nd line carried the team tonight, look what the first line center did." then the graphic makes sense. but they didn't say anything about horcoff. So why not just replace horcoff with Nilson on there and make the graphic title "LINE 2 IS HAWT FOR TEACHER!" I think they just whip random shit up on the screen to fill time and never have any purpose.
poop, i used a word greater then poop and my post is moderated.

Dear Governor, Chief Justice and 2014 Legislators:
The South Dakota Corrections Commission met three times during calendar year 2013.
The first meeting was March 25 at the Capitol in Pierre. The second meeting was
September 24 at the Black Hills Correctional Transition Center in Rapid City and
included a tour of STAR Academy. The third meeting was December 2 at the South
Dakota Women's Prison in Pierre and included a tour of the facility and prison grounds.
The focus of the Corrections Commission is to assist the Department of Corrections
(DOC) in examining various criminal justice issues, trends, developing initiatives and
monitoring projects and programs occurring within the Department of Corrections.
2013 DOC Related Legislative Bills:
The following DOC related bills were signed by the Governor in 2013. Members of the
Corrections Commission received an explanation and description of each bill during the
March meeting.
HB 1031 An Act to revise certain provisions regarding parole date calculation.
Bill amended SDCL 24-15A-29 to specify that when a suspended sentence is imposed
prior to an inmate's initial parole date on the incarceration period of their suspended
sentence, the parole date calculated on the imposed term is a presumptive date instead
of a discretionary date. -The bill also deleted an obsolete reference to indeterminate
sentences in SDCL 24-15A-32. The option of an indeterminate sentence was repealed
in 2004.
HB 1032 An Act to revise certain provisions regarding the money, clothing and transportation furnished inmates released from the Department of Corrections. Bill was designed to be more responsive to transportation and gate money needs of inmates releasing from prison. SDCL 24-5-3 stated an inmate releasing from prison was provided clothing, a sum of money known as gate money and transportation to the county they were sentenced from . But the statute didn't allow for gate money or transportation for a subsequent release. The bill allowed the DOC to determine on an individual basis if the transportation or gate money is necessary, regardless of whether it is the inmate's first release or a subsequent release. It also allowed transportation to an equivalent distance from the county they were sentenced from, thus removing potential barriers to a successful

Skip to comments.Where exactly did the Russian meteor come from?
Posted on 02/26/2013 4:19:06 PM PST by BenLurkin
Poring over crowd-sourced footage, researchers Jorge Zuluaga and Ignacio Ferrin from the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, were able to use "simple trigonometry to calculate the height, speed, and position of the rock as it fell to Earth," says BBC News. More importantly, the duo was able to find out where Russia's most famous meteor was likely born.
Using astronomy software developed by the U.S. Naval Observatory, Zuluaga and Ferrin gathered enough data to trace the meteoroid's origins in outer space. The information included the meteor's relative angle to the horizon, the shadows it cast, and video timestamps of the rock's screaming descent.
Based on its trajectory and speed zipping through the atmosphere at an estimated rate of 13 to 19 kilometers per second the Russian meteor appears to have originated from the Apollo family of asteroids, which are "well-known near-Earth asteroids that cross the orbit of Earth," says Discovery News:
Around 5,200 Apollo asteroids are currently known, the largest being 1866 Sisyphus a 10 kilometer-wide monster that was discovered in 1972. Large Apollos are identified as being a significant risk to our planet, so the Chelyabinsk meteoroid acted like an Apollo warning shot. [Discovery News]
(Excerpt) Read more at theweek.com ...
And now that we know what can we do about it?
I'm still stuck back at trying to figure out how it was caused by global warming.
Next question.
Iran? Syria? Russia should pick better friends.
Bush's fault.
Uh, Space?
It came from the fracking, and was guided in by chemtrails.
Well, if they're Russian, they must be from Russia.
You've got to admit, "Sisyphus" is a pretty cool name for an asteroid, but the implication isn't all that great.
On another note, the author needs an English class, and should also avoid headlines that immediately lead to "duh" responses such as "it came from outer space."
I was thinking N.Korea. LOL.
Mickey Obama.
I thought the Russians came form bears.
We know where it came from and just what we have to do about it.
CNN never said for sure.
""CNN anchor Deb Feyerick asked Saturday afternoon if an approaching asteroid, which will pass by Earth on February 15, is an example of, perhaps, global warming?
Moments earlier, before an ad break, she segued from the Northeast blizzard to a segment with Bill Nye the science guy, by pointing to global warming: Every time we see a storm like this lately, the first question to pop into a lot of peoples minds is whether or not global warming is to blame? Ill talk to Bill Nye, the science guy, about devastating storms and climate change.""
Around 5,200 Apollo asteroids are currently known, the largest being 1866 Sisyphus a 10 kilometer-wide monster that was discovered in 1972. Large Apollos are identified as being a significant risk to our planet, so the Chelyabinsk meteoroid acted like an Apollo warning shot.
Revelation chapter 9
1 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. 3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. 8 They had hair like womens hair, and their teeth were like lions teeth. 9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
12 One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
I'm just sayin'...
reading this, that was my thought exactly,
Very stoned.
"Where exactly did the Russian meteor come from?"
Klandathu, of course.
"well-known near-Earth asteroids that cross the orbit of Earth,"
Try saying that 3 times fast after 4 or 5 tequila shots
Preview of some point in the future (with soundtrack):
Is there another asteroid belt?
Alien space craft crashing, probably the mother ship.
There are two main belts- the one between Mars and Jupiter which is relatively stable, and the Kuiper Belt near Neptune's orbit which is the source of most comets (Pluto is the largest known Kuiper Belt object).
I've read all the replies so far, and beg to point out that the headline was phrased as a question, and the key word was "exactly". As near as I can determine, nobody ANSWERED the question EXACTLY. Just sayin'.
You must have had the same reaction I did to "the Apollo family of asteroids"—(you're fast!):
"The destroyer. In the new testament of the Bible, Apollyon is called the angel of the bottomless pit."
They sound similar, but IIRC they are two differnt entities.
That is a great fusion of animation and music. Love that song!
Pluto's diameter is 1,485 miles. Eris, discovered in 2003, has a diameter of 1,850 miles. Eris' period is 560 years. It has a highly eccentric orbit, taking it at times inside the orbit of Pluto, but for now it is the most distant object found in orbit around the sun.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it came from outer space.
Pluto's diameter is 1,485 miles.
Say what???? Seems you may have dropped a digit or few.
11 And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
What's the name in Dholuo... Obama?
It is all because of .... Climate Change. LOL!
Who names these things anyway?
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning G*D CREATED the Heavens and the Earth...
Thanks, I did not know that. Always learning stuff on FR.
He's correct. Wikipedea indicates a mean radius of 1161km, for a diameter of 1451 miles, so an equatorial diameter of 1485 miles sounds about right.
Darks obviously at fault once again.......

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
In the 1940s movie classic "Casablanca," Capt. Luis Renault, played by Claude Rains, announces he is closing a well-known gambling den.
When asked why by the proprietor, Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, Renault says, "I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here" as he is handed his winnings from one of Rick's employees.
Well, perhaps some could utter similar words with the same convictions about the state Capitol.
"I am shocked, shocked to find that politics is going on in here."
Normally, on election night I work out of the state Capitol pressroom putting together my story for the next day on election results. While at one time there were several reporters who worked out of the Capitol on election night, in recent elections I have been the only one – a relic from a different day, perhaps.
In both 2007 and 2011, as I waited for election results to come in, I walked down to the office of then-Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi, since it appeared that was the only other room in the vast Capitol building where there was human activity occurring.
And there was.
The speaker's office is where forces loyal to McCoy had gathered to monitor election results to determine whether they could hold on to power. I remember distinctly, an attorney friendly to the speaker committing to fly to the Coast the following day to help with any legal proceedings resulting from a close, but important, election down there.
Maybe I was allowed into the speaker's office that night because I work for essentially the then-speaker's hometown newspaper. But I did not get the impression what they were doing was secretive. Former Speaker Tim Ford did the same thing. And I was sure it was done by speakers prior to him.
It should be pointed out that I walked into the speaker's outer office, not into the inner sanctum where, no doubt, key decisions were being made.
As everyone knows, it is a new day at the state Capitol with Republicans controlling the offices of governor, lieutenant governor and speaker for the first time since the 1800s.
It is much more difficult to get into the speaker's office to the degree I was on those aforementioned election nights, and no, not just because the speaker no longer hails from the region of my employer in Northeast Mississippi. Thousands of dollars have been spent to renovate the speaker's office so that there is a very small lobby at the front of the suite and to get past that someone has to unlock a door.
Some were aghast Monday night when word leaked out that Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, was entertaining some Republican Party heavyweights – by that I mean major fundraisers – in the speaker's office.
Gunn said he and his wife entertained and dined with the three Republican Party heavyweights and their spouses because they were friends and they said they had never been in the speaker's office.
Gunn stressed that he paid for everything.
The appearance to some is that Gunn was raising campaign funds in his public office.
The first-term speaker said that was not the case at all, but if he had been, no doubt, it would not be the first time that such an occurrence had taken place in the Mississippi Capitol.
Various groups – of all political stripes – meet at the Capitol on a regular basis. The governor – all governors – entertain in the Mansion. And no doubt, some of those events are political in nature.
Gunn said his event Monday night was not political, but social. Perhaps they did spend all their time talking about baseball, hunting and current events. Goodness knows there have been many strange and tragic current events to talk about in recent days,
But to think the first Republican speaker since Reconstruction met with Billy Mounger, Billy Powell and Wirt Yerger, three legendary king makers in state Republican Party circles, and the event was not political in nature would stretch the credibility of even Capt. Renault.
They didn't just show up for the waters, as in Casablanca.
No doubt, in politics just as a kiss isn't just a kiss, a dinner is not just a dinner.
But that goes for everybody.

Not a long post today but it's about a topic that I've discussed a lot of over the past six months so I decided today to put pen to paper on it just in case it can help any small to medium sized business owners out there.
Recession or any kind of slack economy is, in my opinion, a real chance for clever businesses to really lever themselves into an industry leading position. This is of course as long as they can keep cash flowing themselves!
The main reason I believe this, is that many of your competitors are cost cutting, thinking that's the answer to the dreaded 'R' word. So while they are less prominent, you need to step up and take advantage. You'll almost certainly be able to get better deals on marketing opportunities at these times too so make use of them. Get your name out there more than they are, and get ready to clean up on the business that is still looking for your products/services.
Another reason it's a great time to ramp everything up is because some of your competitors will almost certainly disappear completely so make sure you're ready to pick up some customers from those businesses that found things too difficult when they are looking for a new supplier.
A quick word of warning – recessions mean more new start-ups as people who are made redundant take the opportunity to set up new businesses, so just make sure your business is lean and ready to take opposition from younger, hungry companies. Just work out what differentiates you and be ready to tell everyone from the roof tops.
A slow economy is an opportunity for us entrepreneurs – work out how you can take advantage now

Exalt the Lord our God.
Verse: The Lord reigns; let the people tremble.
BRETHREN, the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart." Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Safest Woodbridge Neighborhoods
Woodbridge has an overall crime rate of 17 per 1,000 residents, making the crime rate here near the average for all cities and towns of all sizes in America. According to our analysis of FBI crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of crime in Woodbridge is 1 in 60. How does Woodbridge fare compared to other communities in Virginia of all population sizes? Woodbridge's crime rate is lower than approximately 29% of Virginia communities.
How does the crime rate in Woodbridge compare to similar sized communities across America? When NeighborhoodScout compared Woodbridge with other communities its size, we found that the crime rate was near the average for all other communities of similar size. So, whether Woodbridge's crime rate is high or low compared to all places in the US, when we control for population size and compare it to places that are similar in size, it is near the middle of the pack in crime rate; not much more or less dangerous, and about what we would expect from the statistics.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 18,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Woodbridge does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Woodbridge.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Woodbridge occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Woodbridge; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 500. This equates to a rate of 2 per one thousand inhabitants.
Moreover, the rate of property crime in Woodbridge; burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson; is 15 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.

Toyota Recalls 2.8 Million Defective Vehicles
Nov 14
Defective Auto Products, Defective Products, Personal Injury, Product Recall auto defect, california, lawyer, products liability, sudden acceleration Comments Off on Toyota Recalls 2.8 Million Defective Vehicles
Toyota is issuing a vehicle defect recall for 2.8 million cars including its high-profile Prius hybrid models. According to an NBC News report, the most recent recall is the result of a water pump problem and a steering shaft defect. These defects can result in steering problems on a variety of Toyota models using the components. The steering shaft defect is involved in the recall of vehicles including the Corolla and Prius models. About 620,000 of those vehicles may also be equipped with the defective water pump.
Vehicles that may need both parts repaired were sold between 2001 and 2010 in Japan and from 2003 to 2011 in the United States. Another 10,000 Toyota vehicles are being recalled solely due to the faulty water pump. This recall is being viewed as a significant setback for Toyota, according to the news article. One month ago, the Japanese automaker announced its biggest recall ever for a single part – 7.4 million vehicles over a faulty power window switch that could pose a fire hazard.

Samwise isn't worried -- And he's right not to be
Jonathan Willis
November 03 2008 03:39PM
There are some interesting quotes from Sam Gagner courtesy of the Canadian Press today. Gagner has two assists thus far this season, but has refused to panic in interviews. This one is par for the course.
"I don't really look at it too much. It's a long season. Guys go through slumps at different points of the season. Mine just happens to be now. I feel I'm playing well and I'm creating chances. If that wasn't happening, I'd be a little worried, but hopefully it's a matter of time and I can play solid hockey and put some points up."
"It's capable of happening any year if you forget how hard you have to work. People make a thing of the sophomore jinx, but a lot of guys have had bad fourth years or fifth years. It's just the way it happens."
Tyler Dellow over at Mc79hockey had a really good post about the probability of different slumps/streaks over the course of a season. Basically, sometimes the puck goes in and sometimes it doesn't, so the better way to understand if a player is producing or not is to look at underlying numbers.
One of the favorite metrics around the Oilogosphere is Corsi numbers. Corsi numbers are the total number of shots (incl. missed and blocked shots) directed at the opposition net minus the total number of shots directed at a player's own net, while the player is on the ice. It's a good way of measuring which end of the ice the puck is in while a player is on the ice; a player with a good Corsi number spends more time in the opposition's zone than in his own.
The reason I mention this goes back to Sam Gagner. At even-strength last year, Gagner was –5.6/60; for every 60 minutes of icetime, the opposition managed nearly 6 more shots than Gagner and his teammates did. This year, he's +6.1/60, behind only Shawn Horcoff.
The point here is that Gagner is actually doing a better job of keeping the puck in the positive end of the rink than he did last year. Eventually, the pucks will start going in, and the "sophomore slump" talk can go away. Final word to Dustin Penner:
"Sam's been playing fine. Obviously, the puck's not going in, but he's had his chances. I think the sophomore slump thing is a cliché because it's got a nice ring to it."
Very interresting. I too believe it's only a matter of time before Sammy boy catches fire. So much so that my new third jersey that I have on order will have #89 slapped on the back.
November 03 2008, 04:03PM
He's been playing pretty good. Looking better each game. It'll come.
I look forward to him excelling on the PK. His hockey sense and speed should lead to some breakaways and shorties.
I agree that it's probably a bit premature to panic on Gagner. He seems to have gotten a bit more traction in the last few games which is a good sign.
With that out of the way, I don't see how using his Corsi number is an indicator that eventually the pucks will start going in for him.
Jason Blake, for example, found that out the hard way last season in T.O.
November 03 2008, 04:16PM
I've been impressed at his PK time
Its obvious how well he sees the game
November 03 2008, 04:23PM
I think when he gets one, he'll get a bunch. I don't think we'll see Sammy going another 10+ games between goals again. Good post, JW!
November 03 2008, 04:26PM
Don't delete the comment without telling Wanye. And at least put an e-mail address somewhere for us to contact you. Have a good evening.

Fucking Willis. You stole my next post.

Well, the Corsi number needs to be taken with some salt - obviously different player types are going to produce high volumes of low quality shots, or vice versa.
Blake, to use your example had a pretty average season for him. Ignoring his 40-goal, 69-point season (which is clearly an aberration) his 52 points was directly between his 57 and 47 point seasons the prior two years. He's a good energy player, and versatile, but hardly the forward that T.O is paying him to be.
As for Gagner, I think the Corsi number shows what most of us watching have been thinking - he's creating a lot, and not getting outlayed at evens, but he just hasn't scored.
November 03 2008, 04:52PM
Fucking Willis. You stole my next post. (Hope you don't get in trouble for linking out.)
That's high praise, Tyler ;) Besides, DJ and Wanye like it when I link to people who are better at math than me. Saves on embarrassment when I add things together wrong.
I agree with you Jonathon. I do think that maybe he has to work alittle harder, because in my opinion, when players aren't getting the bounces, it's usually directly related to how hard they are working...but it will come for him.
November 03 2008, 05:06PM
You stole my next post.
That's high praise, Tyler.
November 03 2008, 05:07PM
And, evidently, my browser's acting up because somehow I sent the same comment twice.
More volume!
November 03 2008, 07:19PM
Whats going on here? I leave for a few minutes and bam!!!! Major change.
November 03 2008, 08:40PM
Not to cancel out this little circle jerk going down here. The important players "make" things go down. They don't just say I've stroked their balls and that's well and good.
They make sure they've givin' you the turn around baby.
Gagners game and the kids have been fine. My one knock on them has been the frequency of turnovers inside the attacking blue but they are generating chances. The puck will start going in
November 03 2008, 10:37PM
I wonder how the kid line would fair if they were broken up as another MacBlender experiment? Nilsson's been given a shot at manning other lines (mind you, he earned it). Perhaps Gagner and Cogliano should take a tour of duty on the 3rd line for a game.

All about kites that can make a grown man look like a child. Kinda like carrying an Alvin and the Chipmunks lunch box to your construction jobsite in your 30s.
"Steve, what you riding there?"
"A bunny, dude!"
"You get your first period or something?"
Plus, all that white in the color scheme means that the first time you lay it on the sand it starts staining. 3 sessions later it looks like its 4 years old.
I totally disagree with not flying a kite because of looks. I barely look at my kite when I ride. I want performance. I want it because it feels right to have a kite perform well. I don't pick kites that look "cool" so that I can have a certain image.

text: If You're Knocked Up in Kansas and Don't Want to Be, You Better Hope You Get the Right PharmacistErin Gloria Ryan5/16/12 1:20pmFiled to: Roe v worldPill baby pillAbortionMorning After PillRu 486Plan BBirth ControlContraceptionWar on WomenKansasSam BrownbackjerksPoliticsGettypictweet158EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Oh, great. Another law that gives medical professionals the right let their superstitious beliefs trump the needs of their patients. Earlier this week, Kansas governor Sam Brownback signed into law a measure that would strengthen so-called "conscience rights" of pharmacists in the state, giving them the right to refuse to fill prescriptions for drugs that they "believe" cause abortions. Whether or not the drugs actually cause abortions doesn't matter — what matters is whatever medically inaccurate crap anti-choice pharmacists have decided to swallow. Advertisement The law could feasibly allow pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for the abortion pill RU-486, sure, but the expanded conscience clause would also give pharmacists the right to refuse to prescribe things that don't actually cause abortions, like the morning after pill (which is designed to prevent ovulation) and even birth control pills (which, duh, do not cause abortions). People who believe that life begins at conception often falsely claim that the birth control pill and morning after pill cause abortions because one side effect of taking either pill is a thinning of the uterine lining, which can make implantation of a fertilized egg difficult, but that only happens if the pills have failed to do their primary job, which is to prevent ovulation. So, the morning after pill "causes" abortions sort of like how the sport of baseball causes broken windows.Of course Republican Rep. Lance Kinzer, the ovary-less man behind the bill, is claiming that this law only serves to protect the rights of pharmacists to not be forced to do stuff they find murdery. And besides, women's access to the Morning After Pill won't be threatened; pharmacists must have "reasonable medical basis" to believe that the prescription will cause an abortion, and anyone who disagrees with a pharmacist's belief can be hashed out in the courts. But that's hardly comforting for women of Kansas who could be faced with a pharmacist who uses the law to refuse to sell them Plan B, unless Governor Sam Brownback plans to staff every pharmacy with a medical expert who can rule instantaneously whether or not the pharmacist is being wack. And laws like this are especially troubling considering that in some cases, the "abortion drug" is a matter of life and death — women suffering from ectopic pregnancy are often given the drug to prevent dangerous complications. Advertisement And! In case you had any doubt that this law was a steaming pile of stench, it also explicitly allows facilities to have policies that prohibit "the performance, referral for or participation in" abortion services or anything, really, that the facility "reasonably believes" would end a pregnancy. So if you had a condom catastrophe in Kansas and happened to mosey into a pharmacy where the pharmacists believes that the Morning After Pill is for babykilling whores, then he would be completely within his rights to refuse to distribute the drug and he could stonewall you on where you could get the emergency contraception you need.But Kansas is far from the only state that singles out abortion and contraception as the only medical procedure that medical professionals are within their rights to refuse to provide. Thirteen other states have similar refusal clauses on the books for contraception, and six of those states explicitly allow pharmacists to refuse to distribute hormonal contraception. As far as I'm aware, no states allow sober doctors to refuse to provide health care to dumb college students who got alcohol poisoning from drinking too much jungle juice at frat parties, or staunch environmentalist doctors to refuse to treat people who get in car accidents after driving SUVs. But if you're a woman who is having sex without embracing motherhood for whatever reason, their magical beliefs win, at least in Kansas.[Kansas City Star]Reply158 repliesLeave a reply

Federal Officials Investigating Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable Cars for Sudden Acceleration
Oct 30
Defective Auto Products, Defective Products, Personal Injury attorney, auto product defect, sudden acceleration, vehicle defect Comments Off on Federal Officials Investigating Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable Cars for Sudden Acceleration
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is launching an investigation into 310,000 older model Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles after reports of unintended sudden acceleration. According to an article in the Detroit News, the federal auto safety agency is conducting a preliminary investigation on 2000 and 2003 Taurus and Sable models and has so far received 50 complaints regarding incidents involving stuck throttles. The defect is apparently due to the failure of a plastic bracket that holds the speed control cable in place. The vehicles that are a part of this probe are equipped with 3.0L V6 Duratec engines.
The fractured bracket in these vehicles allows the cable to move, which may cause the throttle to stick. A number of these failures occur in vehicles that have more than 100,000 miles on the odometer. So far, no car accidents or injuries have been linked to this potential vehicle defect.

It's a December Tradition, Charlie Brown
Imagine it's 1965 and you're a television executive viewing a prospective holiday special for the first time. It's based on a comic strip that's popular, but…hey, it's just a comic strip. The story progresses at an almost uncomfortably slow pace and springs from the misery and misfortune of the main character, who muses in the first scene: "I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards and decorating trees and all that, but I'm still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed."
Not exactly the feel-good cartoon of the season.
The special, of course, was A Charlie Brown Christmas, which, despite what must have seemed like a string of flashing red lights (its cool jazz score; a spare, contemplative script voiced by inexperienced child actors; no laugh track) was given the green light by CBS. The project had taken on enough momentum by the time of that initial screening that the powers that be had little choice but to give it a shot. The half-hour production debuted on December 5, 1965, becoming an instant hit (nearly half of all TV viewers tuned in) and maintains its holiday tradition status to this day.
We're once again pleased to present a special two-disc Charlie Brown Christmas package that includes both the inspired Vince Guaraldi score on CD and a complimentary bonus DVD of the television presentation. Generations have enjoyed it, as will generations to come.
Good grief. Can you imagine if some network blockhead had given it a thumbs-down all those years ago?
