Maybe you hate Notre Dame, but I love it — and you would, too, had you ever been there.
I'm not talking about the football team, I'm talking about the football feel on the campus of Our Lady, the Virgin Mary.
BYU, which travels to South Bend to play the Irish on Saturday, has the words — Tradition. Honor. Spirit. — written on its football field. Notre Dame has them etched into its pigskin-covered soul.
It is a place so rich in tradition, you can't kick autumn's leaves across its sidewalks without looking up at the blue-gray October sky, without hearing the Four Horsemen thunder by, without gawking at Touchdown Jesus, without stopping by the Sports Heritage Hall, where all those national championship and Heisman trophies sit on display next to a piece of the wing extracted from the wreckage in which Knute Rockne died.
They lay it on thick there. But, man, if you like college football and have any sense of history, ND is a place that has to sit near the top of your bucket list. I've been to a hundred football palaces, but there are only two where the first time I walked on the fields within them, I actually leaned over and touched the ground, trying to connect with a storied past. One was at the Rose Bowl in 1983. The other was at Notre Dame Stadium in 1994.
Yeah, there are a lot of Irish haters out there, but most of them haven't made the trek to the spot that is, even in leaner times, on any given Saturday, the epicenter of college football. They, too, would be impressed. They might understand why Manti Te'o fell hard for the place. They might even find themselves tripping over to the school's bookstore, which in the hours before a game is as crowded as a Manhattan Macy's three days before Christmas. I went in just to look around and ended up with a bagful of footballs, hats and sweatshirts for the kids and a bowser bowl, with a faux Ara Parseghian signature, for the dog.
Anybody who's been there knows exactly what I'm talking about. You don't have to be a fan to pull out the American Express. I swear, it just happens. Before you turn around twice, you're a shopping fool who owns a bunch of blue-and-gold junk you know you don't want or need.
That's the high power of Notre Dame football.
Speaking of higher powers, the two things that are everywhere on campus are God and football, not necessarily in that order. The holiest places: two cathedrals. The first is called the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the second is where Notre Dame football is played. On Saturdays, before games, the team, decked out in ties and sports coats, makes the walk from a student worship service inside the basilica to its locker room at the stadium. It's one of many cool traditions so prevalent there.
I'll never forget the first time I visited the basilica, on a bright, sunny October day, almost 20 years ago. Colorful maple and oak leaves framed the scene as a priest walked in front of the chapel's door as two boys in Irish jerseys tossed a football back and forth on the lawn. Sure enough, a wayward spiral drilled the priest in the forehead, snapping his glasses. He just smiled and granted forgiveness.
ND Stadium's appearance was changed during renovations a few years back, the functionality forever altered. The old press box had been dark and antiquated. The day I was there, it had a trail of rat droppings on the work counter. The new press box is a state-of-the-art amphitheater, top drawer all the way. The stadium's low-slung outer brick walls are now surrounded by modern supports for expanded seats around the building's upper edges. It's kind of a head-on between the days of raccoon coats, when Rockne ruled, and the here-and-now, when Brian Kelly is trying to re-establish the success of the past, ever under the watchful eye of the school's famous mosaic, on the wall of the adjacent library, that lords over everything.
Touchdown Jesus is a depiction of Christ, his arms lifted overhead, signaling a touchdown. OK, not really, but that's what it looks like. There's also an on-campus statue of an Old Testament prophet with his index finger pointing forward called … First-down Moses. At another place is an image of Father Corby, an honored past president of Notre Dame, with his hand raised skyward. He's known as … Fair-catch Corby.
It's all in good fun. Nobody with a brain around there connects competitive success with Deity's good favor. God, after all, is not a rooting fan. But, alongside Catholicism, the obvious main force at Notre Dame, football is a kind of secondary religion.
That's the backdrop against which BYU, also no stranger to the faith-and-football mix, comes to the school on Saturday, for its fifth visit.
The Cougars shocked Notre Dame in 1994, winning 21-14. Overall, they are 1-3 in South Bend. In order for them to have any shot this time around, they will have to remember the words of former BYU receiver Tim Nowatzke, who characterized the key to victory in '94 this way:
"We talked about it all week. We're not playing the Four Horsemen, we're not playing Joe Montana, we're not playing ghosts or history. We're just playing football. That's what we did. We believed in ourselves and played the game."

CROWLEY, La. (AP) - Police say a 34-year-old
Crowley woman they arrested tried to convince investigators that her
estranged boyfriend was sending her threatening text messages.
The Advertiser reports (http://bit.ly/VKvuc2 ) Trudy Miller was arrested Tuesday on one count of false swearing for violation of health or safety, a felony charge.
Crowley Chief of Police K.P. Gibson says Miller was
believed to be the victim of stalking about five weeks ago when she
filed her first complaint.
But after charges were filed, Gibson said Miller's
former boyfriend repeatedly said he didn't own the cellphone from which
the threatening texts were sent.
After further investigation, Gibson says detectives
found that Miller was in possession of the cellphone being used to send
her threatening text messages.
It was unclear whether Miller has an attorney.

2011 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project
Building Hope in Haiti
The volunteers joining former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in Haiti are building far more than houses.
The houses are important. By the end of the 28th Carter Work Project, 100 safe, decent new homes will be standing in the Santo community in Léogâne. Léogâne was the epicenter of the January 2010 earthquake that ravaged the country.
But perhaps even more important is the hope for a new life that continues to build among the Haitian families working beside the volunteers. These families lost nearly everything in the earthquake, but they are strong and resilient, and ready to help themselves and their neighbors rebuild.
With these new houses comes a stronger sense of community, an affirmed dedication to Haiti's future, and a new reminder that the work there is still just beginning.

On December 12th through the 15th the team traveled to Richmond Virginia to compete at the VACW Middle School Holiday Duals, a team dual tournament that showcases the best of the best from all across the country. Some have speculated that this is the toughest tournament in the entire country and to even be able to wrestle there is an achievement in and of itself. Team Utah finished the weekend in 14th place. Zac Kohler wrestling at 90 pounds, went 3-7 having faced some stiff competition. DJ Cohen wrestling at 145 pounds went 8-2 overall and finished with the third best record on the team. He also had the quickest pin of the team at 25 seconds and received the teams most outstanding wrestler award.
Both wrestlers will also compete on the same team this weekend at the Clash before Christmas Duals in Farmington Utah. They both want to thank all the coaches, parents, and fans that spend so much time and energy to support them.

https://www.facebook.com/pan2003 Adopt a pet and remember to spay and neuter the ones you have. There are MANY clinics who have free events/days on their calendar when they do it for free or ridiculously cheap. Find out when the next one is and where and go get it done! You may not have an animal that can get pregnant, but if you have a pet that isn't neutered, they can go and impregnate stray animals or other not-spayed pets, and then there will be more unwanted babies and it's extremely hard to find people who want them or can afford to take care of them! Do your part please, do your part.
"Stories That Prove Animals Have Souls" - Click here for the stories (The photo above is from the story about a dog that decided to be a guide dog for another, little blind dog.)
These stories are just so incredibly good. I just don't like the title of the article, as I believe that the notion of "souls" is the same as the notion of "ghosts". Other than that, this was an incredibly touching read, and I HIGHLY recommend it. It truly shows some great examples of how animals can feel, have emotions and are intelligent. Grab some tissues, seriously, it will make your heart ache a bit. It's missing a few other great stories, but it includes some of the best ones for sure. Everyone knows about Christian the lion of course though. If you haven't, you should really go look it up on youtube and watch the video, it's SO heart warming and touching.
Awww… :'(
Poor dog looks worried, the owl looks angry and like he's gonna kick whoever's butt that made him sad. What a good friend.

Breaking Out Of Our 'Echo Chamber' At Conferences
- David G. Armstrong DPM MD PhD
- 2994 reads
- 3 comments
As a new year begins, so does a new slate of podiatric scientific conferences. Podiatric physicians have no shortage of educational experiences from which to choose.
I regularly attend the annual American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) conference, the Diabetic Limb Salvage (DLS) meeting, the Diabetic Foot Global Conference (DFCon), the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care Spring/Wound Healing Society (SAWC Spring/WHS) meeting and the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) meeting. I regularly attend other meetings outside North America that have other foci in plastic surgery, infectious diseases, diabetes, rural health, vascular surgery and others.
I prefer meetings that are, in the truest sense of the word, interdisciplinary. We have a tendency in life in general, and in medicine specifically, to enjoy hearing what we want to hear and what is familiar. In other words, it's often easier to be reassured with a soothing message from an "echo chamber" than it is to be challenged. I think putting some effort into leaving that echo chamber is ultimately worth it. It expands your "silo." It's frankly exhilarating. It makes me want to bound back into clinic and the wards on Monday and apply what I've learned.
The most important factors in putting on an educationally valuable conference are speakers, content and moderation.
The speakers should be superb. When that happens, one knows they are going to do their best to bring their "A" game because their colleagues are doing so. A good speaker takes an odd lecture request as a challenge to expand his or her horizons and the audience of colleagues is also the beneficiary.
The emphasis on content speaks for itself. However, the content should be controlled toward a theme. Just as Apple arguably does a good job in controlling its "ecosystem" on the iPhone and iPad, so too should the organizers control the topics and "soul" of a meeting.
Moderation is where most meetings could do better. Most believe moderating is keeping time and introducing people from a list. It is so much more than that. The mindful moderator must know the content and be an enthusiast. He or she must also challenge the speaker — pleasantly — with the goal of getting to those key kernels of truth that we love to mine at a meeting.
Dr. Armstrong is the Conference Co-Chairman of the Diabetic Foot Global Conference (DFCon). For more information, visit www.toeandflow.com.
Wow, finally!
Someone to challenge the establishment of mediocrity. Shift the paradigm of the monotonous same old, same old, that have become podiatry conferences.
Why do we not hear about the latest techniques? Why are there still people lecturing about the same drab we learned in school all those years ago?
Once in a great while there ARE lectures of interest given by young, skilled practitioners but those are few and far between. Where are all the interesting people and subjects? They must be in the podiatry version of The Matrix as we need credits and are forced to listen to the same thing spun a different way in a "Wait, I think I heard this for the last 5 years in a row" kind of way. End the madness! Start inviting young, skilled lecturers to your conference and upset the establishment by ending the "good old boy" mentality and realize there are others out there that have as much to offer or more than the past doldrum.
Why do we rely on the same standards/lecturers over and over again? We need new blood!Reply to this comment »
It is not what you know, it is who you know. How do I join the club?Reply to this comment »
You spend hours on the phone calling all the conference organizers and make a niche for yourself. Then you attend every conference that you can, network, and write a blog for a while and hope someone takes notice. You then keep your fingers crossed, hope somebody bites and then when you get the opportunity, you blow the audience and the organizers away. Then you still make phone calls, shake hands and hope to be noticed, etc. It is an ongoing process.
Being invited to lecture somewhere is truly an honor for me. I never have taken it for granted and always do my best to educate when I'm at the podium.
I don't think it's not reasonable to make a career out of lecturing anymore. Credibility is a huge issue if you don't treat patients but talk about patient care in your lectures.
I've had to slow down a bit with all that as I'm working in a very busy practice, very happily so, and want to give 110% in the practice at this point in my career. However, I still enjoy lecturing when I get an invite. I personally find it very rewarding.
Like anything in life, it is not easy to find these opportunities and make them a reality. If you're willing to work at it, there are opportunities out there. They may be few and far between sometimes, but once you get that opportunity, you better be ready to shine.
Yes, it can seem like "boys club," and for some conferences, it certainly is that way, but whenever I get the chance to speak, I grab it with both hands. The honor to educate is truly mine.Reply to this comment »

ALBANY, N.Y. -- One out of every six police officers and firefighters retiring from state and local agencies outside New York City last year qualified for annual pensions of $100,000, according to state pension fund data posted Wednesday at SeeThroughNY, the Empire Center's government transparency website.
The proportion of 2012 Police and Fire Retirement System (PFRS) retirees with six-figure pensions -- a total of 202 out of 1,225 individuals -- was the largest ever, according to an Empire Center analysis of data stretching back to 2000. In previous years, the proportion of Employee Retirement System (ERS) members qualifying for $100,000 was much smaller -- just 80 out of a total of 17,156.
The pension for all employees retired in calendar year 2012 came to $69,379 for PFRS members and $24,855 for ERS members, including those who spent only a portion of their careers on government payrolls. However, newly retired PFRS and ERS members with at least 35 years of service were eligible for average pension benefits of $97,579 and $58,655, respectively, according to the system's latest annual report.
Fully half of all PFRS retirees in 2012 qualified for a pension of more than $65,000 -- meaning they can collect a retirement benefit larger than the salary for all private and public-sector workers. The pension benefit is supplemented, in the vast majority of cases, by continuing taxpayer-subsidized health insurance coverage.
The pensions shown in the database are the maximum allowable benefits, which can exceed the amount actually collected by those retirees who, for example, opt to receive less in order to preserve some benefit for their survivors. Maximum benefits for the 376,509 retired state pension system members as of the end of fiscal year 2012-13 totaled nearly $8.9 billion – up nearly 6 percent from the $8.4 billion total in fiscal year 2011-12.
The PFRS and ERS systems cover most employees of the state government, public authorities, counties, cities, towns and villages outside New York City, whose employees belong to separate municipal pension plans. The state systems also cover school district employees outside the city other than professionals belonging to the New York State Teachers' Retirement System.

Comments about Blue Diamond Reflection Acrylic Award:
We used this award to recognize a business partner, who had gone above and beyond, and helped our team to be successful.
My biggest fear was that ordering an award online would result in a cheap looking award, that falls apart easily. I was tremendously relieved when I opened the box and found this elegant looking award inside.
I would definately recommend this award for anyone looking for a glass-like award, but doesn't want a cheap-looking award.

Knee replacement surgery has become common place for our aging society, but so many people are afraid it's going to slow them down. That is certainly not the case for the Aberdeen woman you are about to meet. She just finished up rehab on her left knee at Avera St. Luke's and credits her physical therapist for getting her back to work pain free.
Hands down Delores Severson from Aberdeen is a spit fire! She's pretty well known at Ken's Super Fair as the "go to girl" so imagine her frustration when her left knee started giving her trouble because she could not longer go a 100 miles an hour anymore.
Delores says, "Yeah, it hurt so bad. I'd have to take a pain pill before I'd go to work. I'd take one while I was at work. It was tough."
She decided to have knee replacement surgery. She'd had her right knee done 3 years earlier. Both times she came to the Avera St. Luke's Physical and Aquatic Therapy Center for rehab with Ron Van Dyke.
Delores says, "The other one (knee) was a cake walk. I was back to work in a month. This one has been a little bit longer. Ron kept me going. I thought I'm never going to get better. I couldn't walk. I could hardly walk even after surgery it still hurt so bad."
Avera St. Luke's Physical Therapist Ron Van Dyke says, "Delores has done very well. This was a problematic knee. Delores, I would say, is a "go-getter" and worked very hard. She followed all the prescribed instructions provided and even though it hurt sometimes she managed through it because the goal was getting back to work. Plus, she has obligations at home. She still mows her own lawn, does all the household chores and activities because she lives alone. That was the goal and she did quite well, very well."
Delores says, "Oh, I'm 99% better plus 100. I turned out good now that I'm done. After I first had it done, I thought why did I do it? Why didn't I just limp around the rest of my life, but I'm so glad I had it done and Ron is the one that helped me through it."
Delores credits the push and pull of physical therapy for giving her back her range of motion. More importantly to this 75 year old, her get-up and go.
Ron Van Dyke says patients who work as hard as Delores will typically always have better outcomes. He says surgery is the easy part, it's therapy that's the hard part.

Psychiatry and Psychological Services: Day Treatment Services
The day treatment program cares for children with behavioral problems, school anxiety or refusal, aggression and other difficulties in social functioning, noncompliance with the medical regimen, and includes children with depression, autism spectrum disorders, and medical psychiatric disorders. Children may be referred from schools, their pediatrician, from inpatient services or from an outpatient provider. Children may be referred after an emergency room visit.
Presenting problems may include difficulty functioning at home, school, or in community environments. Day treatment is an intermediate level of care. The goal is the prevention of hospitalization. Children are taught developmentally appropriate coping and social skills. The program operates five days a week, eight hours a day. While in the program, patients attend school. Staff will communicate and plan with the child's home classroom at entry and discharge from the program, allowing for continued development of skills and feedback to the school regarding effective management of the child's academic needs.
Additional therapies used include social and coping skills groups, music therapy, art therapy, recreation therapy, and psychiatric medication management. Treatment is provided in a supportive and highly structured environment. Psychological testing is available.
A day treatment/partial hospitalization service is also offered on the Legacy campus for children and adolescents with eating disorders.

Pinpoint Success Story
Cloud Experts SkyLite Systems Garner Daily Sales Leads
SkyLite Systems, based in Huntington Beach, California, is focused on developing commercial and custom solutions that leverage Microsoft Office products running on-premises or in the cloud.
Not only does SkyLite Systems use Microsoft Office 365 as a platform for delivering applications, they have also made effective use of the Office 365 Marketplace, powered by Microsoft Pinpoint, to meet new potential customers and drive sales.
"By running SharePoint and Exchange in the cloud, Microsoft has changed the landscape for our business," says Dave Chennault, President of SkyLite Systems. "Microsoft takes on the hardware burden, guarantees 99.9 percent uptime, and so our solutions run on a stable and reliable platform maintain by experts and paid for by Microsoft."
"And with the Office 365 Marketplace, we're getting discovered."
Office 365 Marketplace Drives Sales Leads
"We get a ton of sales leads from our entry on the Office 365 Marketplace. Several a week from all over the world. Leads have come in from North America, Latin America, Australia, Europe and Asia" says Chennault. "Pinpoint is the bull's-eye that focuses potential customers on our solution!"
Customers and partners can find applications and services easily on Microsoft Pinpoint and through the product marketplaces like Office 365 Marketplace, where SkyLite Systems' flagship application—SideKick 365 XRM—is featured on the home page.
"Microsoft understands that applications make the platform. They built a flexible and robust platform, hosted it in the cloud and take care of the infrastructure and maintenance, and allow our applications to leverage that incredible technology to solve our customers' needs and save them money."
By making the company's application and solutions easily discoverable on the Office 365 Marketplace, Microsoft enables businesses and consumers to find SkyLite Systems' profile, which leads them to visit their website. "We have enough information in our Pinpoint listing to entice a customer to explore our website. There they watch videos of our solutions and discover more details. Over 90% of traffic to our website comes through the Office 365 Marketplace."
Media Giant Overspending on CRM
One of the businesses to contact SkyLite Systems was a large media company that was looking for an alternative solution to expensive Salesforce.com CRM subscriptions and staffing at a combined cost of nearly $800,000 per year. "They didn't need most of the features they were paying for," Chennault says. "Plus, the system required three full-time staff to maintain it and merge all the data from their 20 legacy accounting systems. And even so, they only got data updates once a month."
The media giant's core business was in newspapers—an industry with tight margins and dwindling advertiser base. Feeling increasing pressure from aggregators like Google News as well as companies like Craigslist and Monster.com, the media company needed their sales people to double their efforts. To remain competitive, salespeople need a powerful and easy-to-use CRM solution that allows them to track projected bookings with actual billed revenue. CRM is a mission-critical application for this company.
To address this, the media giant had purchased Salesforce.com subscriptions, but that option was costing them $50,000 per month. In addition, they had to keep three full-time staff to maintain it and manually upload and match accounting data. Salesforce.com was also a generic offering with many features they didn't need.
It was time for a change.
A SharePoint Online Solution
After SkyLite Systems reviewed requirements and the feature set that the customer needed, they proposed a building a custom application on the SharePoint platform and hosted with Microsoft Office 365 in the cloud or run on servers running SharePoint onsite. The media giant decided to move forward and replace Salesforce.com.
The media giant needed a solution that would meet the robust security requirements of an enterprise-class CRM solution to assure salespeople that their data would only be seen by authorized users. The solution also needed to be tightly tied-in to Outlook so that users could save emails into accounts, leads, and opportunities as needed. Plus the ability to integrate calendar functionality was essential, so that the same calendar data could be accessed within the CRM as well as the users' Outlook clients.
SkyLite Systems customized and deployed their SideKick 365 XRM application and all data was migrated from Salesforce.com to SharePoint Online over a six-week period. "Because the system is built on Office and SharePoint, which everyone already knows, the sales people only needed 30 minutes of training to become familiar and productive with the new system," says Chennault.
"We also built in nightly data imports so that sales revenues could be viewed in the CRM system on a daily basis instead of monthly as it was before."
All in the Cloud
SkyLite Systems specializes in applications built to run in Microsoft Office 365. Their solutions compete with such services as Salesforce.com by leveraging the power of SharePoint running in Office 365 or on-premises. SideKick 365 XRM, for example, manages all aspects of the sales process and help salespeople manage their pipeline—all for a fraction of the cost of most other CRM solutions.
"Ours is a revolutionary approach that saves everyone time, money and offers unprecedented capabilities. Office 365 has really changed the game by allowing us to focus on developing great solutions that we know will always be 'on' and working in the cloud."
Leveraging Office 365, SkyLite Systems' solutions offer unprecedented integration with Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Many salespeople are familiar with Microsoft Office for creating email, spreadsheets, presentations, and proposals. So SkyLite Systems built a solution that integrated with those tools and connected them with an online system run in the cloud by Microsoft.
"We can demo in the morning and have a customer live by the afternoon—all for a fraction of the cost the competition offers," says Chennault. "And using InfoPath, any of the solutions we offer can be easily customized to work for any vertical business."
Office 365 Marketplace Opportunities
"The more apps built on the SharePoint Online platform, the greater functionality is available to partners and customers. It's a dead simple; the marketplace benefits us, partners, customers, and Microsoft," says Chennault.
Chennault believes that all businesses will be impacted by cloud computing and Office 365, especially government, social networking, and schools. Microsoft's live@edu brings the feature set of Office 365, including the ease and versatility of SharePoint Online, to students around the world.
"The potential impact of Office 365 can't be overstated. Great change will be enabled by this toolkit, and we're just starting to discover what those are."
As such Chennault advises partners to get as much marketplace exposure as possible with an engaging profile including packaged applications and services. He notes that the vast majority of customers visit his company's website before making contact. "Make sure your website is ready for the traffic and has the additional information and depth to convert those leads into sales."
"We're at a turning point; it's a great time to be in a position to build apps that run in the cloud. Microsoft runs it. Their experts maintain it. We build on it. There's a green field of opportunity ahead."

Fost-Adopt programs were created to bridge the gap between a child's initial need for temporary care and the long-term need for a permanent home. Children are in the U.S. foster care system and, in addition to state and county fost-adopt programs, some private agencies also work with social services to assist in these placements.
Key feature of fost-adopt programs (also known as foster-adopt and foster-to-adopt) include:
The main reason for making such a placement is to spare the child another move when adoption is viewed as a likely outcome.
One reason many opt for this type of placement is that a high percentage of children placed in fost-adopt families are very young - including infants. This type of placement is a legal-risk placement insofar as the court could return the child to the biological family. When hopeful adoptive parents take care to educate themselves about the program, ask the hard questions, and push social workers for realistic evaluations of the legal risks involved, it can be an excellent option.
There are varying degrees of risk, which you and your family will need to explore with the child's social worker and/or advocate. When a child is placed with a fost-adopt family, the child's permanency options are often being evaluated in two directions: adoption and family reunification. This is called "concurrent planning" and can be equally difficult for both the biological parents and the hopeful adoptive family, neither being very sure of the end result. And there is also a possibility of other biological family members making known their interest in raising or adopting the child. In other cases, the child's permanency plan is moving more definitively in the direction of adoption, or may be simply a question of a pending court decision.
Children placed in fost-adopt families may have medical needs, be sibling groups, represent racial minorities, or have been prenatally exposed to drugs or alcohol. Many states indicate that children placed through their fost-adopt programs are most often younger children, but sibling groups may include older children.
To learn more about the fost-adopt program in your state, contact your State Adoption Specialist or State Foster Care Manager.

- Great product / Love it
I bought this set based on my prior experience with SureFire products. I have numerous SureFire lights but found myself wanting to try one of the pens. The combination set was enough motivation for this purchase. I was very happy with the presentation, the set comes packaged neatly and includes a nice wooden box that would go well in most office settings. The items are typical SureFire quality that you can feel; I like tactile tangible feedback. I ended up like it so much that I bought an additional two sets. One set goes with me everyday on duty. The finish does not look any different than the day I first opened it up. The pen has some small nicks from being in my pocket during range exercises, but it still looks great. Thanks, SureFire. Saint Michael would approve.

To commemorate our 30th anniversary, SureFire has released a limited edition collector set that includes our E1B Backup® flashlight and our original SureFire Pen. Both pieces are hard-anodized with a rugged but smooth SureFire Camo finish that features SureFire's signature red, accented with black and silver. Both the Backup and SureFire Pen are engraved with matching serial numbers and accompanied by a letter of authenticity from company founder and president, Dr. John Matthews. This is a limited run—with only 1,800 sets—that will not be repeated.
E1B Backup
This ultra compact dual-output flashlight was designed as a backup light for patrol officers or a primary light for plain-clothes officers, but it's also ideal for outdoor, personal defense, and everyday use. The Backup's tailcap switch activates the flashlight at either output level. Press or click for a 110-lumen high beam—more than enough light to temporarily disorient an aggressor. Release or click off, then press or click on again within two seconds for a 5-lumen long-runtime low beam that's ideal for reading a map or navigating a trail without degrading your night-adapted vision. The smooth, hard-anodized aluminum body takes it is easy on clothing and the two-way clip lets you carry the light head-up or head-down.
The SureFire™ Pen
Machined from high-strength aluminum and given an attractive Mil-Spec hard anodized finish, this eye-catching and spike-tough writing instrument writes effortlessly, but can provide a tactical advantage in case of emergency. It features a tumble-polished stainless steel tip, pocket clip, and a window-breaker tailcap—just in case. Made in the U.S., it comes with an imported Schmidt® easyFLOW ink cartridge but is fully adjustable to accept most ink cartridges between 3.875" and 4.25" long.

January 31, 11:15 p.m.:
At about 11:30 p.m. a resident called police to report a man behaving suspiciously, talking on a cell phone while standing on the sidewalk in the neighborhood. An officer checked the area but the subject had left. No evidence of criminal activity was found.
February 2, 1:18 p.m.:
Dispatch reported an audible burglary alarm at a residence in West Blaine. An officer arrived and found a cleaning person at the house. The officer assisted in turning the alarm off, as the employee had proper coding but was unfamiliar with the alarm panel.
February 1, 2:20 p.m.:
Police were dispatched to possible road hazard at Hughes and Dodd where a construction truck has been parking during business hours. An officer arrived and determined the vehicle was not a hazard, and made certain the truck was not being left overnight in the area, as it would cause a hazard in the dark. The owner of the truck advised he would put out safety cones to help passing motorists.
February 2, 2:11 a.m.:
An officer contacted two juveniles riding their bicycles at 2 a.m. He discovered that back at home mom had fallen asleep and her son took off with his reported runaway friend. The runaway kid was transported to the police department and released to his grandmother who had custody. The officer woke mom with a phone call and she was waiting at the front door when her son arrived home.
February 2, 10:27 a.m.:
A business called and asked for an officer to attend when a person arranged to come settle a property dispute. The business security system had caught the gentleman piling a whole bunch of garbage into the business's very large dumpster without permission and without offering to pay the several hundred dollars it would cost to have the dumpster emptied. The business identified the services thief through the litter he left. When they called him, the man agreed to come to the business and remove the trash. An officer was on scene when he arrived to keep the peace.
February 2, 12:45 p.m.:
When a business owner arrived at work she found that someone had tampered with the front door lock on the store overnight. The business is well secured and no entry was made. All offers were advised of the incident for their patrols of the area.

A person reported their landlord's shed might have been entered overnight as the door was wide open in the morning. An officer arrived and checked the interior of the building. There were no signs of forced entry, and the officer was unable to confirm if anything inside the overfilled shed had been tampered with or stolen. The renter wanted the incident documented in case the landlord later wants to report any missing items.
February 2, 4: 28 p.m.:
A pedestrian walking through a neighborhood on G Street was bitten by a large dog and nipped at by a smaller dog, and called police.

The owner of the animals was cited for allowing a dog off leash.
February 3, 8 p.m.:
A gentleman from California tried to leave the U.S. for Canada in order to escape government surveillance. Canadian Customs brought him back to the U.S. after he explained to them that the homemade helmet he was wearing was covered with mirrors to
deflect the beams that were transmitted by his watchers. When he threatened to kill himself to escape his mental captors, border officers called police. Blaine officers took the traveler into protective custody and transported him to hospital for evaluation.
February 3, 8:20 p.m.:
A commercial driver parked his company's tractor and trailer at a truck stop and proceeded to take a nap while blocking access to the fuel pumps. The staff informed him he needed to pay $5 to park overnight, and move to their regular parking area. He grudgingly moved but ignored the $5 fee. A police officer visited the gentleman to ask whether he wanted to settle his bill with the property owner or be arrested for criminal theft of services. He made a mature and reasoned decision and then ruined the effect by tossing his money at the store clerk before stomping back to his truck.
February 4, 3:30 p.m.:
A parent contacted police for information on what options were open to her in working through a parenting problem with her teenager. An officer explained the ramifications of the different courses of action at her disposal, and she decided how to proceed in the interim.

The Story Of Us
It all started when we were five. I mean this would have never happened if we stayed away from each other. Never became friends but I guess things happen for a reason. And that reason? I'm not quite sure what it is. All I knew is that one day I would write down our events. Probably publish it even because you NEVER…EVER want to make the mistakes that we had made twenty years ago. If you are brave enough to read this learn from it!
Authors Note:
I hope the Preface was interestingly enough to continue. If you guys are still confused here is pretty much what is going on:
Bella, Jacob, Edward and Renesmee are now grown up and 25 years old. They have been through a lot with family issues and school but it all goes most horribly wrong when they reach the glorious age of 13 and the world seems to change. People are just people anymore. Boys aren't just little men with cooties and bone thin and girls and not that all snobby with voices that can break a wine glass. Elementary school ends a year later and the after school parties begin. Dating becomes teenage affairs and that become heart break and sorrow. These four good friends since JK must figure out what is important in life and what is not. Some will go down the drain in the most horrible ways and other will reach such success that can never be dreamt of. Now Bella is writing all that had happened in hope of getting it published and other learning from her twisted youth.
This is based on T-Swift's song "The Story of Us":
Views: 1133
Chapter One:
As I had said, it all started when we were five. It was the beginning of JK if you remember your little mishap days. The day you had to part with your mother and enter the exciting world or education. You thought it was going to be a piece of cake right? Your mother told you so at the very least. What could go wrong?
I was a stupid miniature Bella, I was. The bell had just rang and I had my little Arthur back pack on with Arthurs' face on it holding his dog Pal. My mother Renée was grinning and crying at the same time I blubbering about how big I was finally getting. Looking around parents were doing the same thing. Some actually looked relieved.
But that day one little boy had caught my eye. His had a tan skin and his hair was jet black. Pretty scrawny for a five-year-old but quite alright. He looked a great lot like his mother though. Soon enough the teachers came out to escort us inside.
My mother took a tight hold of me as she crouched down to my height. "Alright Honey. I want you to have a nice day. Be nice and makes lots of friends. Okay Bella."
I blinked at her not bothering to say any stupid remark right back at her. So she continued on, "I'll pick you up when schools over right out here."
"Don't be afraid-" I wasn't. She turned me around and pushed me towards one of the teacher. "Goodbye, Honey! I'll see you later!"
Unwillingly I shuffled my way inside stopping to watch what they other kids were doing. Surprisingly they knew what to do. I made my way to the cubby area and hanged up my bag slipping off my light jacket as well.
I turned about to leave when I heard a grunting noise coming from beside me. I turned to face a girl with dirty blond hair frustratingly pulling of her coat. "Here," I say. "Try pulling down the zipper." I push her fingers away from her coat and undo it myself.
She looks up surprised. "Thanks"
"It's okay." I reply. "You mom never told you how to unzip a jacket before?"
She shook her head. "I don't have a real mom like you." She said. "I've got foster parents and they don't really like me very much."
I now looked closely at the girl. She was okay looking. Her hair a bit tangled and her face bony but still has some color in them. She wore clothes from a second hand store but what was most interesting about her were her eyes. They were a pale blue will a dark rings.
"Hi, I'm Bella." I tell her.
She smiles at me. "I'm Nessie."
My furrow my brows. "What kind of name is Nessie?" I snicker.
"It was my mothers' name." She replies. "It's actually Renesmee but Nessie for short."
"Oh, like my name! It's actually Isabella but I like Bella."
Her grin only grows winder. "Uh huh!"
"Girls! Please come sit at the welcome circle!" One of the teachers called. So grabbing a hold of Nessie's hand we walked together to the other kids and school didn't seem so bad no more.
By the end of the class it seemed like it was the best day I had ever had. It was like Nessie and I were destined to be best-friends. Each day I look forward to meeting here. To hand paint with her and giggle at our mistakes.
"So Bella how was your first week?" My mother had asked me after picking me up that Friday afternoon.
She handed me a peanut butter and jam sandwich and I quickly stuffed it into my mouth. Swallowing delightfully I answered. "Amazing! I met this girl, her name is Nessie. We're best-friends."
"Oh really? Is that so?" She replies amazed. I nodded. "Where is this Nessie from?"
"We actually her real name is Renesmee but she likes being called Nessie." I say. "She's an orphan. She's with foster parents though"
My mother looked stunned. "Uh. Oh yes I heard." She paused. "I guessed it was nice for that foster couple to take her in." She then turned and left the room.
The following week had arrived and back to I went. The morning started off fine but coursing through the end of the day a little boy, pretty tall for his age and dressed at if he was a snobby rich boy, started throwing toys at the tanned boy named Jacob.
"Stop it!" Jacob yelled. "Stop it, Edward!"
Edward just laughed. "I told you not to touch those blocks! There mine!"
Nessie came running to Jacob's aid. "Leave him alone, Edward!"
"What are you talking about, Nessie!" Edward barked. "You have no mom and dad."
And with that Nessie began to cry. I jumped into the scene pushing the Edward boy down and glaring at him when he was on the floor. "She told you to leave him alone!"
Edward looked back up at me his bottom lip jutting out and tears streamed down his face. "Your mean, Bella!" He got up and ran to a teacher.
When I got home that day my mother wasn't quite happy with me and what I did. "Bella, what have I told you about pushing."
I didn't say anything. I was angry at my mother. She didn't understand. She wasn't there when it all happened. It was all that boy Edward's fault. I hated him for getting me in trouble with the teacher and my mother.
I watch my mother rant on and on about not laying hands on other people. That evening I never got to watch T.V.
Anger boiled inside me as I lay in bed that night and I swore to myself I will get him back for this.

Two people were badly burned when the shed they were living in caught fire in a west Phoenix neighborhood early Friday morning.
The victims, a man and woman between 50 and 60 years old, were unable to get out of the shed near 35th Avenue and north of the Loop 101 Agua Fria Freeway after it caught fire, said Phoenix Fire Capt. Jonathan Jacobs.
The fire began about 6:30 a.m. outside the shed and burned to the shed, and both victims were injured as they tried to escape from inside, Jacbos said. They were both outside the shed when fire crews arrived, Jacobs said.
The man suffered "significant" burns and the woman has moderate burns, Jacobs said. They were both hospitalized in serious condition.
No other information was immediately available.

Prince Fielder blasted a three-run homer in the sixth, lifting the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Twins last night in the opener of a 3-game series at Comerica Park. The fourth straight victory for Detroit moves them into first place in the American League Central with a 14-and-10 record and a half game lead over the Kansas City Royals. Max Scherzer lasted seven-and-a third innings while allowing three runs with ten strikeouts to improve to 3-and-0. Joaquin Benoit notched his second save.
Detroit ace Justin Verlander, who's 2-and-2, gets the start tonight for the Tigers. The White Sox were idle Monday while the Cubs beat the Padres 5-3 last night at Wrigley Field.

Police are investigating a robbery in Harrisburg involving a 24-year-old man who was forced into the trunk of a car at gunpoint.
On Jan. 26 at around 3 a.m. officers were dispatched to the Hershey Medical Center on a report that a robbery victim was there for treatment.
The victim told police that he had been at Bill's Café in the 2300 block of Derry Street when he went out to his car for a few minutes. He was sitting in his car charging his cell phone when another man approached the passenger side window and asked for a light.
The victim gave him a lighter, but soon felt that the man was suspicious and pulled away.
The man then put on a face mask and dove into the open passenger side window. He revealed a handgun and yelled at the victim to drive off.
When the robber ordered the victim to stop the car, the victim noticed that a dark-colored minivan was behind him. Another robber got out of that van and joined the first robber.
They forced the victim to get into the trunk at gunpoint. The victim complied, and the robbers drove off.
The victim was able to find the trunk release and open the trunk. He discovered that the robbers were driving on I-83 near the Bass Pro Shop.
The robbers saw him open the trunk and yelled at him, ordering him not to do it. As the car sped up, the victim rolled out and onto the roadway.
He suffered numerous contusions and abrasions, but he was able to get a passing motorist to stop and call for help.
The victim's car was later found in Swatara Township near Penhar Drive. The victim's wallet was in the trunk, but his cell phone and a small amount of cash were missing.The victim was treated for his injuries and released.The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information may contact police at 717-255-3118.
