Harry Altergott was an old cowboy who made his last stand out on the high plains of eastern Wyoming.
My last blog closed by referring to "a cowboy friend of mine from Wyoming." That friend was Harry Altergott, who I came to know while doing an oral history project as a student at the University of Wyoming.
Harry was an original, a cowman to the core. He was the kind of person you don't forget once you've met him. It has been over 30 years since that initial meeting. I spent a few afternoons and evenings visiting with him and his companion, Betty, in their little cabin east of Wheatland, Wyoming on the Last Stand Ranch.
I met Harry about five years after he had moved to Wheatland in 1990 from his home country of Weld County, Colorado. He drove an old pick up truck and didn't wear a seat belt. He said that the belt dug into his skin and irritated old injuries, probably from his life as a cowman. Harry shared a story once of how he found himself walking out on the prairie carrying a gun, aiming to end it all. Thankfully, he didn't. He told me that a person can be in such pain that they may not even realize what they are doing. He said he was thankful to have found a better way out of that pain.
Harry told me stories about raising cattle on the high plains of Colorado and his 10 years as a cattle buyer. He said that he could still spot a good one and shook his head at the then current fad of buying cattle via video. He said a lot of people got a bad deal that way. He told me about panthers he had seen at night around the Last Stand Ranch. He said he tried to go "wherever God leads me," while admitting to struggling with crude language he had picked up in his bunkhouse days. Harry said he tried to follow the straight and narrow way, although he and Betty were not married when I met him. I suspect that their relationship was also more of a friendship/partnership than anything else. I'm sure, too, that he was somewhat jaded after recently being divorced from his wife of 44 years.
Despite the tough exterior, hardened no doubt by many years working outside on the range, Harry had a softer side. He once told me that he and Betty had given an old truck to a young man in Wheatland who was going through some hard times. "Whenever he passes us by, he waves," Harry said, "and you can see a tear in his eye."
One of my favorite stories came from Betty. Harry and Betty kept life simple at the ranch. While they had electricity and running water, they only had an outhouse for necessities. One time Betty went to use the outhouse in the middle of the night and soon came running back into the cabin hollering to Harry about snakes. It seems that he had forgotten to tell her that he had carpeted the seat to make it a little warmer in the winter.
Harry moved into Wheatland a year or so after I met him, due to health reasons. He and Betty finally hitched up in 1997, two years before he died.
I guess that ranch really was his last stand.
To read more about Harry's life story, here is his obituary: http://www.niobraracountylibrary.org/obituaries/index.php?id=201.

Several hours after Ike Davis admonished a reporter for a story saying the first baseman concealed an oblique injury for much of last season, New York Mets manager Terry Collins did the same – to the player through the press.
Collins had to be embarrassed when he found out through the media Davis hid the injury using the logic he didn't want to come off as an excuse maker just as he was about to be optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.
"There's got to be a conversation,'' Collins told reporters Monday in Port St. Lucie. "And then certainly it's up to me to decide which way to proceed.''
In addition:
* ESPN reported the Mets are talking with Seattle regarding shortstop Nick Franklin.
* Prospect Noah Syndergaard threw two simulated 20-pitch innings of batting practice. Syndergaard is scheduled to pitch in an intrasquad game Thursday and face the Braves in an exhibition game next Monday.
* Among the pitchers scheduled to work in Thursday's intrasquad game are Dillon Gee, Bartolo Colon, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Joel Carreno, Jeurys Familia, Carlos Torres, Jose Valverde and Steve Matz.
* After conferring with outfielder Curtis Granderson, Collins amended his stance on playing time and said he'll give him a lot of at-bats. Granderson said he wanted to see more pitching because of the time he missed last season.

Celiac Disease and Eating Disorders
A closer look at the link
When Beth was 19 and a sophomore in college, she began to cut back on how much she was eating. In high school, she had always thought she could stand to lose 5 pounds—"What girl doesn't?," she asks—even though at 5 foot 8 inches, tall and 130 pounds, she was slim. She had dieted a few times then, following the low-carb Atkins plan. This time around, however, her motivation to diet wasn't just about dropping a dress size. It was also because she often felt uncomfortably full and bloated after eating.
"I became kind of fixated on not feeling so full," she says. "Then it changed into not wanting to feel full at all."
Before long, Beth was counting calories of whatever she put in her mouth and keeping her tally under 500 calories a day.
"I did everything I could to stay away from food," she says.
The less she ate, the more she obsessed about food. She'd spend hours carefully planning what she would or wouldn't eat each day—counting the number of peanuts or Cheerios she'd allow herself, while she staved off sharp hunger pangs with pickles, sugar-free jello and crushed ice. After starving herself for days or weeks at a time, she'd break down and binge.
"It was like my survival instinct took over and I'd binge on anything and everything I could find. Afterward, I'd feel so guilty—and panic about my weight—I'd go right back to restricting again," says Beth, now 27. "It was hell."
In between the starve-binge cycles, Beth managed to go through periods where she ate more "normally." Then something stressful would happen—a breakup or exam period—and she'd return to restricting again.
During her junior year, Beth was hit with a bout of back pain. She went to the doctor, and, while there, happened to mention her trouble with bloating and "major stomach expansion." The doctor ordered a few blood tests but didn't indicate any specific concerns. A week later, she got a phone call from a nurse telling her it looked like she had celiac disease. In a matter of days, Beth underwent a small bowel biopsy and the diagnosis was confirmed.
"I didn't know if having to go gluten free would help or hurt my eating issues," she says. Guessing the latter, Beth decided to tell her doctor about her eating disorder. Until then, she had tried her best to keep her behavior under wraps.
"It's really hard to admit the self-destructive things you do to yourself," she says. "Maybe I didn't explain it well because my doctor's only response was to up my antidepressant dosage." (Beth had taken a low-dose antidepressant since she was 16.) She filled the new prescription and gave the gluten-free diet a go—she wanted to get better—but it was a bumpy road.
"I felt deprived on the gluten-free diet," she says. Even though she'd been severely restricting her calorie intake, she hadn't faced the outright elimination of favorite foods. "Had I been able to eat a bite of something when I wanted it, like a gluten-filled doughnut or cookie, I think I could have escaped the starve-binge cycles more easily." Instead, she struggled off and on with her eating disorder for the next four years.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb track and field will head to Auburn this weekend for the Tiger Track Classic, beginning Friday at 4:30 p.m. (CT) with the hammer and javelin throw. The meet continues all day Saturday at Hutsell-Rosen Track.
At last weekend's Ole Miss Invite, sophomore Tucker Peabody moved up in the A-Sun rankings in both the 100m and 200m dash. Peabody set a personal-best in the 100m dash (10.60s) and a season-best in the 200m (21.39s), taking the lead in the 200m and moving into second in the conference in the 100m.
Lipscomb also sent athletes to North Carolina State last weekend for the Raleigh Relays. Senior Ashley Lehman was the top Lipscomb competitor in Raleigh, finishing seventh in her heat of the women's 5000m run with a personal-best 17:00.63s mark. That moved her into second in the conference in the 5K behind teammate Kendra Lobley.
Sophomore O'Neisha Smith has gained admittance into the invitational high jump competition at Auburn, joining some of the top high jumpers in the nation.
In addition to the host Tigers, Lipscomb will face athletes from Syracuse, Southern Miss, Wake Forest and A-Sun foes Belmont and Kennesaw State.
Lobley and sophomore Tessa Hoefle will not be in Auburn this weekend, instead taking flight to Palo Alto, Calif. for the prestigious Stanford Invite. Each will compete in Friday's 5000m run.
Lipscomb has one final tune-up for the Atlantic Sun Championships at next weekend's Boston Moon Classic, hosted by Tennessee State.

In my line of work I hear the same story over and over again: people dreading their upcoming holidays and vacations and the ensuing derailment of their workout schedule. Of course, some people don't care, those who aren't serious about their fitness but only playing at it. For those who like to stay on track, I offer you the gift of one of my favorite workout systems--and one I return to often--which I call the Hotel Akhara. Basically, it's a program of body weight exercises used for thousands of years by wrestlers to prepare for the stresses of mano a mano combat.
A minimalist by nature, I love that I can get a workout anytime, anyplace or anywhere with my body weight as the primary form of resistance. Don't get me wrong, I like kettlebells, club bells, mace swinging, etc... but if I were forced to choose just one system, it'd be body weight exercise. The two pieces of equipment I like to get a complete full-body workout are my trusted Lifeline Jungle Gym and Heavy-Weighted Speed Rope. Both slip into my backpack, taking minimal space and allowing me to do dozens of extremely productive exercises.
In my travels as a fitness professional, conducting workshops far and wide, I've observed most people neither correctly, safely nor efficiently perform body weight exercises. Time and again I see horrible technique and hear complaints of sore shoulders, knees and elbows. With women, add aching wrists. Yet with a few seemingly minor adjustments of body mechanics, people can learn to perform body weight exercise pain-free and with great results. I've had people who've given up on push-ups come to my workshops and they're amazed at how much better they feel doing simple push-ups while utilizing my techniques. Body Weight Certification attendees are typically themselves fitness professionals yet totally lost when challenged with teaching de-conditioned beginners. Any mediocre-to-poor personal trainer can get a client going on a machine, but it takes a true teacher getting someone performing a chin-up who heretofore never dreamed of such a thing. There's a tremendous amount of satisfaction in mastering your own body weight.
Have you ever seen a gymnast with a poor upper body? Almost never, and the mainstay of gymnastic programs are various pulls and pushes with body weight as the source of resistance.
Take the basic chin-up or pull-up, for example. You never see fat people doing chin-ups--and people who do chin-ups are never fat. It's a self-regulating movement. Body weight exercise is a de facto body composition machine: you are greatly penalized for a gain of even a few pounds of body fat/and or muscle loss and greatly rewarded for any increase of muscle and loss of body fat. I've seen people go from zero chin-ups to four or five reps with just a 6-10 lb. fat loss. As a matter of fact, I use the pull-up as a measuring stick for my own leanness: I know when my pull-up numbers are down--even a little--the Old Coach has been hitting the feed bag too hard! When my numbers are up, you better believe I'm looking ripped and lean. People get hung up on the amount of weight and the number of repetitions with body weight exercise programs. I don't worry about the actual amount of weight lifted. For those of you who do like to calculate such things, it's simple:
Handstand push-up: 0.98% of your body weight.
Dip: 0.96%
Chin-Up: 0.96%
BW Row: 0.68% (depending upon the angle of the straps to the pivot point. The closer the shoulders are to the ground, the higher percentage of body weight lifted)
Regular Sit-Ups: 0.54%
BW Squat: 0.64%
Regular, Plank-Style Push-Up: 0.68%
Pistol: 0.96%
These are fairly accurate approximations. Much depends upon the angle. Obviously, in a regular Plank-Style Push-Up, the higher the feet, the greater the percentage of body weight lifted.
The only thing I keep tabs on are my Pull-Up numbers. For everything else, I like to go for time, instead of reps. I don't even count my reps but set a time and try to survive it, resorting to static holds as a rest, as a I fatigue. This allows me to work the ever-important static strength.
One reason I don't like to use rep counts is because they encourage people to use poor form. I've had guys come to me for private sessions claiming to be able to do 80+ Push-Ups and when I ask them to demonstrate a push-up for me, it's God-awful! Collapsed spine, forward head, partial ROM, half-reps, arms exaggeratedly flared out to the sides, upper arms severely internally rotated, no lock out at the top...basically they're doing fast, crappy push-ups and any benefit they're getting from it is accidental!
When I show them the proper technique, these hundred-rep wonders struggle to get fifteen! There's a world of difference between proper and improper form. Try this experiment right now:
- set a timer for two minutes
- start at the top position, with the elbows tucked in, not flared
- pit of the elbow forward, point of the elbow points back toward the feet
- hands shoulder-width apart
- abs and glutes tight
- slowly lower yourself down until the chest grazes the floor
- (if you don't have the range, lower yourself within one inch of the floor)
- push yourself up back up to the count of two
- lock out the arms in the top position for a count of one
- Slowly lower down to a count of two
This means you are performing one single repetition every five seconds, or twelve per minute.
Go for two minutes--or 24 reps--one for each hour of the day. Most people can't do it though I know there are plenty of studs out there who can!
You will agree there's a world of difference from the jack-off style passing as push-ups in fitness and PE classes and a strict observance of technique. You'll get an amazing pump doing push-ups this way and it feels fantastic. Even better, once you understand the basic principles of protecting the shoulders in the push-up, this translates into safer Dips, Chins, Pull-Ups, Rows and push-up variations, including One-Arm Push-Ups.
Another subject of overwrought concerns is high-repetition body weight squats and the supposed danger to the knees. Anything can be dangerous if you don't know how to do it. Just as I teach shoulder stabilization in my workshops, I teach how to use the hamstrings and hip flexors to stabilize the knee joints. I see overwhelming numbers of quad-dominant people unable to activate their hamstrings in flat-foot body weight squats and pistols. Always emphasized in my workshops is how to fire the hamstrings and glutes. Even squats done on the toes (such as Hindu squats, where the quads are dominant) can be made very safe if you learn to activate the hammies.
A similar problem: people overusing the hip flexors when performing basic sit-ups. Bigger and stronger than the abs, the hip flexors take over and the results are muscular imbalances and low back pain. The basic crunch movement was introduced as an attempt to eliminate hip flexor activity, but it's a step in the wrong direction since people quickly become very efficient at doing the crunch, then cease to get any benefit. Try this simple test to see if you have a hip flexor imbalance:
- Lie down on the floor with the back flat
- with knees bent at approximately 90-degrees
- thigh bones 45-degrees from the torso
- folding the arms across the chest
- each hand holding the opposite elbow
- with feet UN anchored,
- slowly roll up, starting with the head and one vertabra at a time
- until the elbows touch the knees
- Now, reverse the roll-down, beginning with the lumbar and slowly lying down
Don't be surprised if you can't manage a single rep! I've seen many an otherwise strong athlete unable to do more than two! When you anchor the feet, the thighs and hip flexors take over most of the movement but when unanchored, the thighs and hip flexors still function but the abs take on a much greater role...and often they're not up to the task!
If you're interested in learning the real secrets of body weight training and--perhaps more importantly--how to teach them to others, I'm offering three upcoming Body Weight Training Certifications: 7 February at Body Tribe in Sacramento CA, 7 March in Wichita KS and 3 May in Philadelphia.
As you know, I stand behind my work and the proof is below, my own Christmas Day celebration-hotel-jacuzzi-workout. I don't just talk the talk!
The purpose of this workout was strength-endurance, cardio conditioning, detoxification (Coach had an immoderate dinner the night before) mobility and flexibility.
Lifeline Jungle Gym
Lifeline Heavy-Weighted Speed Rope
1) Jump Rope Intervals
40-sec on/20-sec off
Repeat 10 times (ten min total)
Skip as hard and fast as humanly possible for 40-sec!
2) Hindu Squat
10 min straight set of Hindu Squats
No break (if possible)
I did these in my hotel room while watching Bad Santa on the television
3) Hindu Push-Up
5 min straight, continuous set
Do not put the knees down!
4) Jungle Gym Leg Curl
3 min straight set
Smooth and slow
Emphasize pushing the hips UP into a low bridge
Take care to NOT spread the knees
5) Jungle Gym Body Weight Row
3 min set
Smooth and slow, keeping the body in a tight plank
6) Leg-Raise-to-Shoulder-Stand-to-Plow
3 minutes
7) Sit-Ups--non-anchored
3 minutes
8) Elbow Plank
3 minute hold
Finished with resisted stretching sequence for neck, shoulders, forearms, hip flexors, adductors, glutes and hamstrings.
The reward was being served an ice cold diet soft drink in my en suite jacuzzi by my own scantily clad Santa's helper. This in front of a cheery fireplace overlooking the Pacific ocean. I poured 8 lbs of Epsom salts in the tub. What a phenomenal way to recover those sore muscles and sweat off excess water weight, especially when you wrap up in a thick robe afterwards. Every bit as good as a sauna.
So this is how your coach spent his Christmas, shacked up in a coastal hotel with my aide de camp, enjoying the Pacific panorama. Enjoy the evidence!
In Strength & Health!
Coach Steve

We are down to a Final Four in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, and they will be down in New Orleans before the week is out. And in a week from now, three of the four will fall down before this season's NCAA champion.
In order of how likely it is each of the participating teams will win the title, this is how the Final Four teams rank:
1. Kentucky Wildcats
Why they will win it: Kentucky showed in its two South Region victories in Atlanta how it can dominate at both ends.
Against Indiana in the semifinal, the Wildcats shot 48.4 percent from the field, 50 percent from 3-point range and 94.6 percent from the foul line—and committed only six turnovers while scoring 102 points.
Against Baylor in the South final, Kentucky held the Bears to 8-of-25 shooting and forced nine turnovers in the first half.
Kentucky is working pick-and-rolls and the dribble drive motion and pushing the ball on the break, forcing opponents to foul because they're so often a half-step behind UK's exorbitant athletes. The Wildcats shot 81 free throws in the two regional games.
On defense, they are mixing matchups to their greatest advantage, including coach John Calipari's decision to put top defender Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on dangerous Baylor shooter Brady Heslip. In 26 minutes, Heslip was able to get off only a couple of 3-point attempts.
— One-and-get-it-done: Cal's kids lead the way to New Orleans
Why they might not: We have seen better teams than these Wildcats fall short. There was UNLV's 1991 team, which entered the tournament with a perfect record. There was Duke's 1999 team, which entered with a single loss and featured five players who became NBA first-round picks.
So it does happen.
What can beat the Wildcats? In the case of that '99 Duke team, what took out the Devils was a UConn team nearly its equal through the course of the season. There don't appear to be any of those relative to the Wildcats in this field.
In the case of the '91 Rebels, it was a younger team that was on the precipice of greatness and finally arrived during that year's tournament. That's not really in place here, either.

What it would take is an unconventional scheme—more likely to occur in the semifinal against Louisville (6:09 p.m. ET, CBS), which uses its full-court pressure and 2-3 matchup zone to great effect. Or it would take an extraordinary player delivering a singular, game-changing performance—more likely in the final, where one of two rugged big men, Jared Sullinger of Ohio State or Thomas Robinson of Kansas, will await.
Or it could come down to a single bad break. We saw how close All-American center Anthony Davis came this weekend both to disqualification and injury.
— Bluegrass battle: Kentucky vs. Louisville in Final Four
2. Ohio State Buckeyes
Why they could win it: Nobody in the Final Four has seen anybody like Buckeyes point guard Aaron Craft. Point guards facing him find out it's somewhat similar to what Mike Tyson once said: Everybody has a plan until Craft gets up in their business and starts taking away the ball. His defense against opposing point guards can undo an offense before it starts.
Power forward Deshaun Thomas ranks as the most difficult scorer to defend in the Final Four. His unique combination of scoring skills makes him a 3-point threat, adept at mid-range scoring and also a danger in the post. The Buckeyes at last have back the "A" game of Sullinger, the All-American who had a tough February as opponents ganged up on him but was named East Region most outstanding player.
Why they won't: It is a challenge to win at this level without all the best players playing their best, and wing William Buford hasn't had a high-level game offensively since March 4, the regular-season finale against Michigan State.
Buford has, for the most part, limited his attempts as he has struggled to find the range. If he's not going to make shots, OSU can't have him taking too many.

3. Kansas Jayhawks
Why they could win it: There are only two coaches in the Final Four that have won this event, and Bill Self is one. That doesn't hurt. It also helps to have a superstar along the lines of Robinson, who has averaged 12.5 rebounds during the tournament. Guard Tyshawn Taylor is another star-quality player.
But what was intriguing about the Jayhawks' Midwest Region final against North Carolina was the rest of the starting five contributing at a high level. Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey have had terrific moments previously, and Travis Releford has added defense and athleticism, but all five reached double-figures against the Tar Heels.
— From SI: Winn looks at the Final Four
Why they won't: It was disturbing to see Taylor, with KU up two points and 4:23 remaining, pull up for a 3-point attempt with three UNC players back to guard the lane and none of his teammates to offer support. He missed, and the rebound inevitably went to the Heels. Did he learn nothing from the mistakes of Florida's Erving Walker? That kind of recklessness will not play well in New Orleans.
It's also disconcerting Robinson has been unable to convert consistently on offense. He is shooting 37.9 percent from the field in the tournament.
— Jayhawks still climbing: Kansas getting the most out of its personnel
4. Louisville Cardinals
Why they could win it: What makes this Final Four compelling is even with Kentucky as a significant favorite, every team in the field arrives with the level of talent necessary to win it all. That's not always the case. History shows us it takes at least a couple of NBA-bound players to navigate these waters, and our eyes tell us the Cards have at least two in point guard Peyton Siva and especially center Gorgui Dieng. History tells us it's also helpful to have a high-level point guard and size inside, and those are obviously covered.
Louisville might have the best tactician in a field of elite coaches, which has its advantages.
— What we learned from: Kentucky-Baylor | Kansas-UNC
Why they won't: Even as Louisville has surged to the Final Four, it still has been a struggle to score. The Cardinals produced the fewest tournament points of the Final Four teams. They compensate by playing at a high level defensively. And part of the lack of production is attributable to the slower pace enforced by their press and zone.
Most of it, though, is that as terrific as Siva and Dieng are, neither is a true first offensive option. That is the edge every other team in the field enjoys. Ohio State and Kansas essentially have two each, and Kentucky pretty much has six. Louisville doesn't have one.

WHOA! When was that??? I was at Bromley from 85-87. I never would have left the building had it been there at my time.
I was at Bromley hall for 2 years right after that (fall '79 to spring '81) and don't recall that. The 2nd floor had the Law Enforcement trainees, but the only other thing I remember was a small ice cream/cookie shop...they did make a pretty incredible chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwich!At Bromley it was a short trek acorss the parking lot to The Illini Inn with Willie's Thick N Cheesy coming down the pizza elevator shaft!
Ah, yesssss.... Willie's Thick and Sleazy, as we used to call it.... I don't even remember how it tasted, just that nickname we gave it.
hmmm....So....Any relation, ya think?garciasfamouspizza.com/new/menu_veg.asp
Cheese To Please Pizza is no longer. I was in downtown Wilmette and they were completely vacant. It wasn't like I planned on returning.
OK, here is the recipe that I worked up back in 1975 along with a gal friend that worked at Garcia's. I always intended to open a pizza place out here in Seattle. I even bought a big gas fired oven. But that was long ago.Dough for a 12" pizza:Combine: 1 Cup warm water, 1 pkg dry yeast, let work.Add to the above: 2 Tbl sugar, 1 tsp salt, 2 Tbl olive oil.Add to the above: 1/2 untoasted wheat germ, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3 - 4 cups of flour.The key ingredients are the untoasted wheat germ and cinnamon. That is the source of the faintly sweet flavor.Sauce:1 can Hunt's Stewed Tomatoes1 small can Hunt's tomato paste1 Tbl Oregano3/4 Tbl sweet basil1/2 tsp garlic saltshy 1/4 tsp saltstrong 1/4 tsp black peppercrushed red peppers to taste (a dash)Combine ingredients and simmer at least 15 minutesI can't get Hunt's out here and I don't like any of the other stewed tomatoes that I have tried.Assembly Instructions:Press the dough into the pan leaving a slight roll around the perimeter. Line the shell formed with thinly sliced mozzarella over lapping edges to seal off crust. Cover the cheese with sauce, add toppings then add grated 3 cheese blend. The cheese should be a mozzarella, provolone, cheddar blend. 60/20/20. Bake at 400-450 until cheese and crust is brown.I sure hope you like this recipe and find that it brings back memories of Garcia's. It isn't exactly the same, but it is pretty close.

Yes, it was the Whitewash linen. The 30291-11. It's so nice to stitch on and I really like doing the color tinting on linen...the white crayon smooths it out and it's SO pretty once it's heat set!

I love your patterns and the web site! I've done four of the larger quilts (oh I think 5 of them) My suggestion is to make the photos on the web site easier to see the detail. I know you are working on a new site so perhaps you don't need my imput though.
Happy embroidering!

In situations where the specific area requested is outside of the department's area of responsibility, than authorization from the appropriate managing department will be requested.
All keys are inventoried through a computerized key inventory system maintained by the university locksmiths. Each key issued is assigned to an individual who is responsible for its use/misuse.

In lieu of issuing master keys to individuals, the university has deployed electronic key boxes for use in various buildings. The key boxes are operational via the WESTCONNect card, and release only the assigned key tag. Keys are to be used and promptly returned tot he same key box, as tags are shared by multiple users.

Please refer anyone requesting access to the WESTCONNect Office, or for after-hours access, contact the University Police Department.

Woman Calls 911 After McDonald's Runs Out Of Nuggets - Local News Story - WPBF West Palm Beach
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A Fort Pierce woman called 911 three times to report an emergency after McDonald's had run out of McNuggets, according to a police report obtained Tuesday.
Latreasa Goodman, 27, was issued a written notice to appear in court for misusing the 911 emergency communications system.
According to the report, Goodman called 911 three times Saturday to report that a McDonald's employee wasn't giving her a refund for the chicken nuggets she wanted. When police arrived, Goodman said she purchased a 10-piece chicken McNugget meal, received her change and then was told McDonald's had run out of McNuggets. Goodman said she tried to get a refund, but the cashier told her it was against store policy and that all sales are final.
"The manager just took my money and won't give me my money back, trying to make me get something off the menu that I don't want," Goodman said in one of the 911 calls. "I ordered chicken nuggets. They don't have chicken nuggets, and so I told her, 'Just give me my money back,' and she tells me I have to pick something else off the menu. She is not going to give me my money back, and she don't have the right to take my money."
According to the report, after police told Goodman the incident was not an emergency, Goodman replied, "This is an emergency. If I would have known they didn't have McNuggets, I wouldn't have given my money, and now she wants to give me a McDouble, but I don't want one. This is an emergency."
Customers at the McDonald's where the incident occurred had mixed feelings about the McNugget meltdown.
Daniel Slaton said he typically orders McNuggets when he goes to McDonald's, saying simply, "I just like them better than anywhere else."
But Sallee Bair had a different perspective.
"That's a little overboard," Bair said. "That's way too much, way extreme for chicken nuggets. They're not that great."
Carlos Solorzano, operations manager for all McDonald's restaurants in Florida, issued a statement Tuesday apologizing for the incident.
"Satisfying each and every customer that visits our restaurants is very important to us," Solorzano said. "Regarding this isolated incident, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. In the event that we are unable to fill an order, a customer should be offered the choice of a full refund or alternative menu items. We regret that in this instance, that wasn't the case.
"We want to correct our mistake. We will be sending the customer her refund, along with an invitation to return for her original order, on us. We never want to disappoint a McNuggets fan or any McDonald's customer. Customer satisfaction is our top priority."
She is a [email protected]$$.
Using the 9-1-1 system for this? What if she was occupying an operator who could have been helping somebody in a life/death situation? Idiot!
Hibbert, who worked out with Duncan in San Antonio during the lockout, said he has grown close to the perennial All-Star. On Friday, he texted Duncan and asked how he should guard him.
"He said, 'Go for every pump fake,' " Hibbert said.
She is retarded. The police have no jurisdiction over this type of event. It's in the jurisdiction of civil courts. The only reason they would have even showed up is to ensure keeping of the peace.
Yea its bad for McDonalds to not refund her money or give her what she purchased, and she would be due a reimbursement or damages. But its definitely inappropriate, and a legitimate civil offense to involve 911 emergency survices. She should know better, and now maybe in the future, she will.
When the Spurs lose...it makes Baby Jesus cry

Fort Pierce Man Jumps Off Bridge To Land Job
FAU Student Says He Did It To Spice Up His Resume Tape
updated 2:49 p.m. ET, Thurs., Feb. 12, 2009
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - A Fort Pierce man jumped off the South Causeway Bridge on Wednesday in order to land a job in Australia. When Christopher Grima, 25, heard about a marketing campaign that offered a six-figure salary to work half the year as a caretaker along the Great Barrier Reef, he jumped at the opportunity -- literally. "You had to send in a 60-second video clip about yourself and why you're the best person for (the) job," Grima said.
So the marine biology student at Florida Atlantic University came up with a plan to get his resume to the top of the pile. Grima told police he wanted to videotape his jump to put on his resume. "I figured since there's thousands of applicants that what better way to start off than jumping off a bridge," Grima said. However, his stunt caught the attention of a Fort Pierce police officer, who saw Grima swimming toward the shore.
According to the police report, "The subject stated that he was applying for employment in Australia and wanted to capture a video of himself jumping off the bridge, to gain attention of the recruiters." According to an Australian tourism company, the job involves living in a beach home for six months, snorkeling, watching whales and blogging about the experience. Police, however, were not amused. "People have done it before and died doing it," Fort Pierce police Sgt. Dan Flaherty said. "A few years ago there was a teenager that jumped off the bridge and died." Fort Pierce police, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Coast Guard and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers responded. Grima was not hurt in the jump, but he was charged with breach of peace and disorderly conduct and may be asked to pay for all the resources used as a result of his stunt.

Lugo, 65, told police that Hatfield, 60, approached him as Lugo got out of his vehicle and began yelling and cursing at him. Lugo said Hatfield then took a bucket from his truck and threw it at him, striking Lugo in the lip.
Hatfield told police that he was upset Lugo had taken his parking space and that he didn't think it was OK for someone to do whatever they want to do, according to the report. Hatfield then apologized to Lugo, who said he wanted to press charges, according to the report.
Hatfield was charged with battery and taken to the St. Lucie County Jail.

St. Lucie County Student Jailed For Pushing Bus Driver
Sheriff's Office: Student Upset After Being Asked To Turn Down Music
updated 4:47 p.m. ET, Sun., March. 1, 2009
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - A Thursday morning bus ride ended with a trip to jail for a St. Lucie County student.
Darryl Constant is accused of pushing his bus driver after she took away his MP3 player.
According to the bus driver, Audrey Greenslade, Constant was listening to music too loudly. She asked him several times to turn it down because it was distracting. When he refused, she confiscated the music player. That's when, Greenslade claims, Constant pushed her. He also threatened to punch her if she didn't return the MP3 player.
At that point, Greenslade radioed in to school security about the incident.
When the bus arrived at Indian Hills School, the 11th-grade student was arrested because he is 18 years old.

Woman in adoption scam gets 20 years
She is accused of abusing 11 disabled children she adopted
The Associated Press
updated 2:43 p.m. ET, Thurs., Feb. 5, 2009
FORT PIERCE, Fla. - A Florida woman accused of abusing 11 disabled children she adopted — while pocketing more than $1 million in subsidies — has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Circuit Judge Robert Belanger on Wednesday called Judith Leekin's actions "reprehensible" and handed down the maximum punishment allowed in the plea agreement. Leekin, 63, pleaded no contest to four counts of aggravated child abuse and four counts of aggravated abuse of disabled adults. The adoptees are now in their mid-teens and 20s.
"I'm very sorry," Leekin said several times during a brief statement to the court.
Leekin was arrested in July 2007 after police were called to a supermarket where authorities said she'd abandoned an 18-year-old girl.
Authorities say they found the adopted children had been held like prisoners in Leekin's home, often handcuffed together and forced to soil themselves because they were not allowed to use the bathroom. They said they had never seen a doctor or a dentist and had not been allowed to attend school or leave the house. All were near starvation when they were found.
Leekin used four aliases to adopt from different agencies and created fake report cards to show the children's progress, even though they were not attending school, according to court records and officials. The children were adopted in New York City before Leekin moved to Florida in 1998.
New York City records show she received more than $1.2 million in subsidies for the disabled children she had adopted.
Leekin, who moved to the U.S. from Trinidad, was sentenced in July in New York federal court to nearly 11 years in prison for fraud. That sentence will run concurrently with the Florida prison term.
A phone message left for Leekin's public defender by The Associated Press was not immediately returned Thursday.

Second firefighter arrested for growing pot
Reported by: WPTV staff
Email: [email protected]
Last Update: 2/18 2:34 pm
FT. PIERCE, FL -- A second St. Lucie firefighter is facing two felony charges for growing marijuana.
According to the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, Edward Joseph Nobles II was arrested after detectives issued a search warrant at his home in Ft. Pierce Tuesday evening.
According to the arrest report, Nobles confessed to detectives that he had been "growing marijuana in his shed for the purpose of selling the pot for extra money."
Detectives recovered a grow light, four pot plants, and more than one hundred seedlings.
A 9mm handgun was also recovered from Noble's residence.
According to officials, detectives received information after Herman Gonzalez, another St. Lucie County firefighter was arrested early Tuesday for cultivating more than 80 pot plants inside of a warehouse in Stuart.
St. Lucie County officials could not confirm a connection between the two firefighters, only that information from the first firefighter's arrest from Stuart led officials to the arrest of Nobles in Ft. Pierce.
Edward Nobles was held on $10,000 bond at the St. Lucie County Jail, but was released Tuesday at about 8:00 p.m.
Herman Gonzalez was held on $105,000 bond at the Martin County Jail, but was released Tuesday at abaout 8:30 p.m.
Both face felony charges for cultivation of marijuana and marijuana possesion with intent to distribute.
I agree that it is not a matter for 911. The people there are very stupid and don't know any better. Ft. Pierce is about 2-3 hours North of South Beach and it is like being in a different country. There is nothing to do but be stupid and get in trouble. If it were not for their stupidity nobody would have ever heard of Ft. Pierce.

UPDATES WITH REPLAY DATES -- Talk about a TV series being on the news, Thursday's night's edition of "Caught Looking" takes viewers inside last weekend's series between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees just as the two teams reconvene for an epic showdown in Baltimore.
This week's installment will premiere at 9 p.m. Thursday with replays throughout the week. The 10-minute clip I saw made me want more, more, more.
Here's the release form the NBC Sports Network cable channel:
With the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees currently tied for first place in the American League East, this week's Caught Looking (Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network) will feature a behind-the-scenes look at this past weekend's series between the teams.
Major League Baseball Productions embedded camera crews with both teams throughout the three-game series, providing a unique perspective on all the action between the lines as the Orioles took two of three to close the gap with the Yankees after trailing by as many as ten games earlier this season.
In addition to exclusive commentary from star players on both teams, the episode features compelling in-game audio throughout the series, highlighted by a wireless microphone worn by Orioles first base coach Wayne Kirby during Friday's game. The episode also features in-depth interviews with managers Joe Girardi and Buck Showalter.
Off the field, camera crews captured many different moments with the teams and players. A crew travelled with the Orioles on their train ride from Baltimore to New York. Camera crews also spent time with Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy and Orioles third baseman Mark Reynolds, as they took in a day at the US Open. Another crew followed Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson, as he spent time in the city before Saturday's game. In addition, cameras followed Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long as he worked with players in batting cage.
Caught Looking, a new collaboration between Major League Baseball Productions and NBC Sports Group will follow two different teams each week, as the final eight weeks of the season unfolds. Each original episode will be one hour in length and will air on NBC Sports Network.
Here are the replay dates and times:
Thursday 9/6 at 10pm
Thursday 9/6 at 12am
Friday 9/7 at 9am
Friday 9/7 at 8pm
Friday 9/7 at 12am
Friday 9/7 at 2am
Saturday 9/8 at 1am

Opioid intoxication is a condition caused by use of opioid-based drugs, which include morphine, heroin, oxycodone, and the synthetic opioid narcotics. Prescription opioids are used to treat pain. Intoxication or overdose can lead to a loss of alertness, or
Alternative Names
Intoxication – opioids
In the United States, the most commonly abused opioids are heroin and methadone.
Symptoms depend on how much of the drug is taken.
Symptoms of opioid intoxication can include:
- Breathing problems – breathing may stop
- Extreme sleepiness or loss of alertness
- Small pupils
With repeated use of opioids, fibrotic lung disease may develop as a result of the talc, cornstarch or cellulose which is used to dilute or bind the opioid. The long-term effect may be reduced lung function and shortness of breath
Individuals who inject the drug will often develop abscesses at the injection site. These may be large enough to require incision and drainage, often in the operating room.
Exams and Tests
Testing will depend on the physician's concern for additional medical problems.
- Blood chemistries and liver function tests such as CHEM-20
- CBC (complete blood count) measures red and white blood cells, and platelets, which help blood to clot
- Toxicology (poison) screening
A chest x-ray may be ordered to look for pneumonia, as well as an EKG (electrocardiogram, or heart tracing) looking for evidence of heart rhythm disturbances or heart attack.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Breathing support, including supplemental oxygen
- Tube placed through the mouth into the lungs (endotracheal intubation)
- Medicine called naloxone, which helps block the effect of the drug on the central nervous system (such medicine is called a narcotic antagonist)
Since the effect of the narcotic antagonist is short-lived in most cases, the health care team will monitor the patient for 4 to 6 hours in the emergency department, although the optimal observation time after opioid intoxication has not been defined for most opioids. Those with moderate-to-severe intoxications will likely be admitted to the hospital for 24 to 48 hours.
A psychiatric evaluation is needed for all exposures with suicidal intent.

Four days ago, the Eagles gave receiver Riley Cooper a leave of absence, so that he could obtain counseling regarding the use of a word that he should have known not to use, and that he definitely knew as of last Wednesday he shouldn't ever use again.
So why was Cooper back only four days later? Now that the team's practice for the day has ended, quotes will emerge from Cooper, coach Chip Kelly, and others. Regardless of what anyone says, the truth could be (and likely is) that Kelly quickly realized that the team needs Cooper from a football standpoint.
We were told in the aftermath of Cooper's exit that, if the Eagles decide they need him, they'll bring him back — regardless of any lingering issues in the locker room.
Either way, Cooper has returned. Regardless of whether a problem festers in the locker room or local politicians object to the temporary absence or the fans start to question whether the team is handling the situation properly, Cooper apparently isn't going anywhere any time soon, especially after justifying his placement at the top of the depth chart with a strong performance on Tuesday in a joint practice with the Patriots.

AirCast Mike needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 10 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
AirCast Mobile is currently launching a new live mobile video service called AirCastLive. The service will enable users to broadcast live mobile video to Facebook, and our Website. After broadcasting the users video will be saved to the phone and then be uploaded their AirCastLive account.
Before we launch the service, we are planning on launching a new iPhone application that simply lets users broadcast live video from their iPhone to Facebook and then sell that app on in the App Store.
The app is called AirCastLive as to help build our service brand.
We have a general mockup of the application (attached) but we would like to add better graphics and make it more attractive to consumers in the app store.
We already have the app icon, so we are only looking for the graphics and theme for the app itself.
While this may seem like a simple project, we believe that an app should be visually attractive, so we are looking for someone creative to develop our mainscreen and 2 other screens based on your design theme.
We have attached our current mockups but we would like something more visually appealing and consumer friendly.
Apple App Store consumers. Facebook users. Those who like a simple, easy to use one-click application. Moms, Dads, professionals, tech savvy individuals.
We are looking for a new color/theme/graphics for the main screen (and 3 other screens) that utilizes our name (aircastlive), and a button to begin the broadcasting.
A screenshot of the mainscreen is required, but feel free to submit the additional screens to give us an idea of our project if you prefer.
The background color and color schemes will be used on the rest of the application's pages as well. If you are the winner, we will need customized buttons based your overall theme on an as-needed basis once our developer starts to build the application code.
We've hired a developer already and now we need a graphics developer to make it attractive to use, and consumer-friendly.
Attached is some picture of a mockup and our logo. This is just a guideline and we are in the need of better graphics. .
You can also check out our website for more info about our platform and application functionality to give you a better idea of our application.
Happy Bidding!

Hear a concert live Fridays at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
Nicole Atkins has a brand new album, Mondo Amore. She plays Johnny Brenda's on March 10.
Nicole Atkins taught herself to play the guitar at the age of 13 after chancing upon one in her attic. The Neptune, New Jersey native and former XPN Artist to Watch had already mastered the piano (at age 9), and had an early appreciation for iconic artists like Johnny Cash and Robert Plant. Those early influences drove her into New York City's anti-folk scene in the mid '00s, where she found like-minded musicians and a growing audience. A bidding war resulted in her signing with Columbia Records (who she has since severed ties with), who released her debut, Neptune City. A long-awaited follow up, Mondo Amore, is now available.

|Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing
A traditional spinach salad with bacon, hard-cooked eggs, mushrooms. Such a classic and ever so satisfying. Plus bonus: a great way to use leftover Easter eggs.
a blush of color, and the red buds thicken
the ends of the maple's branches and everything
is poised before the start of a new world,
which is really the same world
just moving forward from bud
to flower to blossom to fruit
to harvest to sweet sleep, and the roots
await the next signal
Spring eased into Missouri some time in the past weeks, overnight, it must have been, since on no one day was its arrival a certainty. In the local paper, the letters to the editor take on this new season's controversy, whether chickens, especially the crowing roosters, make good neighbors.
More families, it seems, are putting chicken coops in the back yard. To some, this is an unwelcome intrusion in suburban tranquility. To others, it's a pastoral return to our rural roots.
If tomato stakes, then why not chickens? Surely, there's room in our great spaces for animals that feed us, along with the ones we feed.
(Besides, there's the cute factor, like Noodle Soup, Salad Sandwich and Pot Pie over at 3ChixaDay.)
For families awash in leftover Easter eggs, this classic spinach salad is a welcome way to help reduce their number to that of perhaps one or two fertile hens. But even if you must boil some eggs especially for the salad, it is a reminder of how simple ingredients can yield something completely satisfying.
HOW to SAVE 300 CALORIES and 9 WEIGHT WATCHERS POINTS IN A SINGLE SERVING By accident, I left out an entire 2/3 cup of oil in the warm bacon dressing. I truly thought it was a typo! But what a happy accident! The bacon flavor isn't watered (oiled?) down and the dressing remains warm and the lemon adds a bright sharpness. If the dressing is a little sharp for your taste, add a little more bacon fat but trust me, you'll need far less than 2/3 of a cup. Spring's light is here, light food just seems right too.
SPINACH SALAD with WARM BACON DRESSING
Time to table: 30 minutes
Serves 4
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
- Salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 4 strips bacon (see TIPS)
- 12 ounces baby spinach, washed well and dried
- 1 handful radish sprouts (see TIPS)
- 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped (if need be, Perfect Hard-Cooked Eggs)
- 1/2 a small red onion, peeled and sliced very thin into rings
DRESSING In a small bowl, combine all dressing ingredients except the bacon fat. Set aside for the flavors to meld – you know, to get all friendly and cozy together – while prepping the salad. In a small skillet, cook the bacon pieces until crispy, transfer bacon to a plate covered with a paper towel. Reserve two tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet, save the rest for another use.
SALAD While the bacon cooks, prep the spinach, mushrooms, eggs and onion.
COMBINE Just before serving, if needed, rewarm the 2 tablespoons bacon fat, then stir in the lemon mixture (it will sizzle). In a large bowl, toss the spinach and sprouts with the warm dressing until the leaves are evenly covered. Gently stir in the cooked bacon pieces, mushrooms, eggs and onion. Transfer to serving plates. Serve and savor!

The album starts out with Ishq Ada Hai with vocals by Rashid Ali. An all-round excellent track that gets better the more one listens to it, the song is very well done in each of the musical, lyrical, and vocal departments. Some of it reminds one of Maiyya from Guru (2007), another excellent A. R. Rahman soundtrack. It has a similar vibe, and is mystical but awe-inspiring. Also learned (as documented in this post) that this is a perfect track to listen to in the library :) So much knowledge in the world, so much to discover (and to learn to discover)...loveleh!
The second song, Hawa Sun Hawa, is my favorite from the album. Beautifully sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik, who take command of the track. The music is splendid (the flute with the tabla and piano is fantastic), and the lyrics even better. Here is a post dedicated to the song, with the lyrics and my translation.
The Sonu-Alka duo are showcased again in Gum Sum. Of all the tracks, this is likely the most conventional (but not necessarily bad). The lyrics are good and the voices excellent, but the bits in which Alka stretches the second 'm' in Gum Sum sound silly (Sonu tackling the same sound, sounds much better), and that is why I think this is a good song in an otherwise excellent album. Watch out for the guitar (and elements of rock) making a significant appearance in the last minute.
Gulfisha features my favorite current artists for a duet (after Udit Narayan-Alka Yagnik), Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan. You might recall their duets in Fanaa (2006) were excellent. They are in fine form in Gulfisha, and offer further confusion for one trying to pick a favorite song or two from Ada. Vivianne Chaix, with her chanting (of which I understand very very little), does very well to solidify the elements of lounge music in this track. The result is quite remarkable. Of all songs, this probably also has the greatest to offer in and to a contemporary setting, and the elements of jazz are combined well toward the end.
Meherbaan -- another excellent track and by far the most well-written -- appears next. This is sung by A. R. Rahman, and has much to love. Here is a post dedicated to the song, including lyrics and my translation. The humming half way into the song reminds one of Lucky Ali.
Tu Mera Hai carries forward the devotional theme from Meherbaan, but is obviously more geared to Ishq-e-Mizaji (romantic love of a person) and not Ishq-e-Haqiqi (love of God, literally translated as 'true love') that was the subject of Meherbaan. It is a good song by Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, and Naresh Iyer, and gets better as it proceeds.
Hai Dard by Udit Narayan is a haunting track, and is extremely well sung. When I first listened to this, I was reminded of Silsila Yeh Chaahat Ka from Devdas (2002), which had music by Ismail Darbar. There is hardly any resemblance besides the syllables at the end of this:
Khoya kyun, aaiine mein us ka chehra?
(Why did her face get lost in the mirror?)
After which I started singing:
Ab aaja re mere piyaa aa aa aa aa
(Come to me, my love)
Wacky, but an interesting listening experience :) The track is interesting, although its repeat value is questionable because it is a sad, sad song. That it manages to bother the listener to an extent likely means it succeeds.
Ishq Ada Hai appears again, this time with (female) vocalist Parul Mishra. The qualities noted while discussing the male version apply. Would have liked to hear what Sunidhi Chauhan might have done with this song, but that is said only because I value the diversity of Ms. Chauhan's vocals, and the fan in me would have liked her to get a shot at this. Certainly do not mean to take anything away from Parul Mishra -- she's done a fine job, and might just have arrived for the long haul.
Milo Wahaan Wahaan is a duet by Jayachandran and Alka Yagnik. A very good song with some very good poetry by Nusrat Badr, some of which is reminiscent of Javed Akhtar's style. Nicely done, and again, a sad song that is successful in its goals.
An instrumental of Meherbaan draws the album to a close.
The cumulative effect of the songs results in one of the very, very good albums of the year. Have yet to listen to this album from start to finish without skipping a single track, which is why I cannot give this a four. But given the depth of the songs, the music, and the quality of the vocals, I must go with the next best rating for a beautiful album. I liked Rahman's soundtracks to Jodhaa Akbar and Jaane Tu more, but let that not take anything away from a fine effort for Ada.
Music rating: 3.75/5 (Very, very good!)
The movie stars Ayaan Ahmad, Nauheed Cyrusi, Ayesha Jhulka (after a while, yay!), Rahul Roy and Milind Gunaji.
