It's been a slow week on campus, as odd as that sounds with what's at stake on Saturday.
Coach Paul Johnson said it's questionable that Cooper Taylor will play on Saturday. Julian Burnett likely won't play, as well.
That was the big news from today's practice.
With that, I thought it might be fun to take a look back at 1990, the year GT won the UPI national championship, and the last year that Georgia Tech won in Charlottesville. This is from the web site www.thepeopleshistory.com.

Just like in 1990, Tech will prevail in Charlottesville. Paul Johnson is an excellent coach. The mission goes on to winn the ACC.

Yeah – that's what I was thinking. I imagine Voyager would have vaporized loooong before it ever got within that distance. Can we get a fact check at register 3?

GQ recently rated UVA one of the country's "douchiest" universities. Namely for doing things like referring to your school as "The University" and hanging out on "the Grounds". C'mon, man. Chill with the Proper Nouns, Mr. Jefferson.

Was at the 2001 GT @ UVA game. Charlottesville is a must see.
Godsey leads late TD drive to go up 33-32 with less than two minutes to play. UVA score winning TD on Hook & Lateral with about 20 seconds left. Damn !!!!!!!!!!
GT returns 17-18 starters from ast year.
UVA returns 8. Thats not a typo. 8.
Fewest in ACC, and perhaps in D-1, except maybe "Marylan" (no D).
GT should completely crush UVA.
UVA HC AL Groh is DEFINITELY out at season's end.
Mike London HC at U of Richmond is likely the new UVA coach next year.
He's a proven winner and amazingly good at recruiting. BTW, Richmond won the D-1AA NC Title in 2008.
When UVA hires London, it will mean the start of a downward trend for VT. VT has ben getting the all the best in-state recruits by default b/c all the good recruits cant stand Al Groh.
So, Hello Mike London, goodbye Hokies.

Oops. Meant 38-32, before UVA scored.

Yep, I was in Saudi when tech won, Received care package with the Nebraska Orange bowl game late Febuary from my now wife and watched it. But I knew who won from the news on base. I remember watching that game like 5 times over their. Send me Ga Tech game, Roll of Copenhagen, some chips and stuff, best care package ever.

So basically, in 1990 oil was at an all-time high and we were at war with Iraq. Looks like Tech walks away with a win this weekend!

You are right. There must not be anything going on in Atlanta. Looks like you are pretty caught up! Got time to mow some grass?????

Go Dawgs! Tech your day is coming soon….get ready for the beat down….
October 22nd, 2009
4:37 pm
bugsquacher – You mean a beat down like the one the butt sniffers put on Tennessee? I'm still laughing about the fact that Bud Foster (Virginia Tech DC) consulted with Willie Martinez on how to stop Tech's option offense. I guess that means we've gashed ol' Willie twice already. Clearly, he still doesn't have a clue on how to stop us.
Wait, this just in – Roddy Jones just took another pitch and ran down the sideline for a score. The UGA defensive backs stare in disbelief at the realization that Jones didn't go down when they tried to bump him out of bounds. Sadly, they now realize they are boys playing a man's game.

1990 was awesome for me Jackets. The movie: "The Hunt For Red October." Totally cool! I remember the kick like yesterday.

Bugsquacher: start crying now about how the SEC REFS screw UGA in Atlanta this year. CRY BABY CRY. Take your win against the Gators and live on it. UGA will keep CMR for sure. If you do and I think you will beat the Gators UGA will keep BOBO and Willie the the DELIGHT or every team that Plays UGA. CRY DAWG CRY.

SUPER the BANDWAGON is EMPTY because all the DAWGS are drunk, crying, and trying to count to 6 wins. TECH is not scared of UGA. You do know SEC refs will be calling the game at TECH this year right? EASY TECH WIN.

Don't send my boy to M.I.T.
The dying mother said.
Don't send my boy to Emory
I'd rather see him dead.
But send my boy to Georgia Tech
'Tis better than Cornell.
But as for University of Georgia:
I'd RATHER SEE HIM IN HELL!
To hell, to hell to hell with Georgia,
To hell, to hell to hell with Georgia,
To hell, to hell to hell with Georgia,
The Cesspool of the South!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the stomping of the dogs,
We will teach those poor darn farm boys they should stick to slopping hogs,
When the Jackets are triumphant we will raise a mighty cheer,
"We'll do the same next year!"
On the field between the hedges there arose a mighty stench,
In the dog machine the engineers will throw a monkey wrench,
When the Jackets are triumphant we will raise a mighty yell,
"Them dogs can go to hell!"
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the NCAA,
They're investigating Georgia players to see how much their paid,
After counting all the cars, and the loans alumni made,
They outpaid FSU!! (sucks dick!)

October 22nd, 2009
9:39 pm
I think MIAMI is ranked in the TOP 25, but I don't see the Dawgs or the VOLS. OKIE STATE is rapidly moving out of the Top 25. Feel good the Dawgs were lucky to beat S. Carolina who is in the top 25. Lets not talk about how the REFS STOLE the LSU game from the DAWGS. But LSU is in the top 25 so feel thet SEC LOVE. What is Tenn Tech ranked this week? Is Tenn Tech just ahead of Auburn, Kentucky, and Vandy or they just behind those SEC POWERHOUSE teams in the rankings?
October 22nd, 2009
9:40 pm
hmmmmm…I forgot….is UGA even in the top 50… You got beat buy a sorry aSS tenessee team and sorry a$$ LSU team, and a really sorry a$$ OLK. ST team. Leave in the future not the past. That's what wins football games..
October 22nd, 2009

Miami beat TECH for the first time in how many years? I thought you Dawgs wanted to talk what you did last Game right? UGA lost to TECH and Miami finally won against TECH.

Mommy and Me Classes? Dads Object!
So many dads were showing up, this Brooklyn "Mommy and Baby" class tweaked its moniker.
Vivian Manning-Schaffel: According to a recent post in the New York Times, so many dads were turning up to a "Mommy and Baby" class at the Prospect Park Y.M.C.A. on Ninth Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn, they changed the class name to "Parent and Baby."
The piece goes on to say that this could be attributed to many things: the economic downturn, a generational attitude shift concerning fathering, and a neighborhood where many residents have jobs with flexible schedules, some of which allow working from home. Or maybe some parents are opting to stagger their schedules to cut back on child care. Either way you slice it, more babies, at least in my neck of the woods, are doing harder hang time with dear ol' Daddy.
Everyone knows "Mommy and Me" class doesn't really mean the kid's mother actually has to represent. Semantics, schmantics, right? I polled a couple of neighborhood dads to gauge their vibes, starting right at home. It's unanimous -- they appreciate the consideration. "It's about time!" says my husband, Brad. "Anything that assumes only mothers are involved in their children's lives is insulting. Titles like that treat fathers as second-class parents."
My friend and neighbor, John, also finds "Parent and Child" a hell of a lot more appetizing than "Mommy and Me." "Mommy and Me always made me feel excluded," he said. "It sounds as if dads are deliberately unwelcome. I think 'Parent and Child' is a big improvement."
Doh! Who'da thunk a dad would appreciate a name that didn't exclude him? Makes perfect sense. And it is about time. The days of pipe & slipper parenting are long gone. Who do you think is dealing with the monkeys as I type this?
Here's hoping more classes follow suit.
|Vivian Manning-Schaffel has written for Babble, Parenting, The Advocate, The New York Post, Business Week and a variety of other publications and lives and works in the heart of breeder Brooklyn with her husband and two kids. She authors two pop culture blogs: The Mad Mom and A Hag Supreme, and is on the web at vivianmanningschaffel.com.
the dad that come to my daughter's mommy and me group are kind of weird- i hate to say it! of course they are welcome- but really…why would a man want to hang out with a bunch of postpartum women and their babies? the men in my group don't socialize with any of the moms and don't contribute anything to our discussions. and i must admit, i always wonder if they have an actual job or just are unemployed wonders.
Gee, Breanna, maybe they come so their BABIES can hang out and socialize? And Breanna - when you spend time with your kid, does that mean you're an "unemployed wonder"? Or is watching your child your job?
Mommy and me classes are about the mothers getting out and socializing. The babies really could care less if they are with one other baby or with a dog. I can imagine males would feel uncomfortable, as these classes, especially in the infant stage, are truly designed for the adult, not the baby.
Well, CTWTA, maybe there's more than one reason for those classes.
I also have felt uncomfortable when men have shown up at Mommy and Me classes, but all the classes I've participated in really were geared for post-partum women. (A yoga class, a breastfeeding class…) What is so wrong with creating safe, warm, friendly zones for mothers and their children to interact without feeling as if we're excluding someone? I don't feel odd when hanging out at the baby play area at the children's museum with dads and their babies, but in our mommy and me post-natal yoga class it was just weird.
Hey There!
More and more men are the primary caregivers for their children. And when you call a class "Mommy & Me," you assume it's the mom who's staying home. What if it isn't? Isn't it a good thing that more dads are as involved as moms? Don't they deserve a place to go too?
Some food for thought…

Jim Palmer (aka Cakes), left, and Mike Flanagan (aka Flanny) likely smiling over an O's win. (William Hotz, Baltimore Sun file photo, 1979)
Check out all of our Orioles' nickname pictures here.
Nicknames are a sure sign of endearment. And we Baltimoreans certainly love our Birds. So it's of little surprise that there are a slew of O's players through the ages whom we've labeled with nicknames (or they came with their own).
So we've searched The Baltimore Sun's expansive photo archive and here present some 40-plus Orioles players' photographs with their nicknames.
Take a look at our list. And if you have any insight as to where some of the names came from, let us know. Or add suggestions for players/names we foolishly forgot. And go O's, hon.

All hearing aids have a microphone that picks up sounds and converts them to electrical signals. Those electrical signals go to an amplifier and then to a receiver that converts the signals to sound waves and sends them to the ear. Learn more about the six most common devices. Costs are per aid.
See also: Expert advice on hearing aids.
Mouse over hearing aids to see position on the ear:
Behind the ear (BTE): Plastic tube carries sound to a custom ear mold (not shown).
Mini behind the ear (Mini BTE): Plastic tube connects to an earbud inside the ear canal. PROS: Leaves the ear canal open, for more natural sound, especially your own voice. No custom mold required. No "plugged up" feeling. CONS: Harder to use with the telephone. COST: $1,300-$3,000.
Receiver in canal (RIC): Microphone, amplifier are behind the ear; connected with wires to a receiver in an earbud or custom mold in the canal. PROS: One of the least noticeable devices. Can give superior sound quality. CONS: Harder to use with the phone. COST: $1,400-$2,900.
In the ear (ITE): Custom-made shell fits in the outer ear. PROS: Easy to insert; can house a directional microphone and volume control; easy to use with the telephone. CONS: Conspicuous and bulky. COST: $1,300-$2,800.
In the canal (ITC): Custom-made device fits into the ear canal opening. PROS: Barely noticeable; large enough for directional microphones and volume control. Cons: Prone to feedback. COST: $1,300-$2,800.
Completely in the canal (CIC): Fits entirely in the ear canal. PROS: Least visible; easy to use with phone; outer ear acts as a funnel, helping with sound location. CONS: Expensive; too small for directional mikes; can be hard to change batteries; prone to feedback. COST: $1,500-$3,700.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: : Try to envision Middle East peace
To the editor:
Fran, thank you for your article. I certainly support the goals of Gush Shalom.
My cousin's daughter, Rachel Corrie, was an advocate for the Palestinian people in Gaza and died defending the home of a family from destruction by an Israeli military bulldozer (American made – Caterpillar).
While Craig, my cousin, and Rachel's mother, Cindy have been stricken with grief, they have tried to turn it in positive directions. They have visited both Israel and Palestine a number of times and have developed friendships and working relationships with both Israeli and Palestinian supporters of peace and conciliation.
Yes, let us try to envision peace for all who have suffered.

When you think of Egypt, you may only think of the country as the home of some of the world's greatest treasures of the ancient world. But today, you must also view Egypt as a modern country, with tremendous influence in the political world.
Egypt was first unified by Menes (the first Pharoah) in 3050 BC. The legacy of Menes' empire is unmatched in history. During this time, some of Egypt's most elaborate tombs were designed, the Nile was harnessed for irrigation and magnificent pyramids were built. Unfortunately, after the empire fell, Egypt was conquered by various outside sources; among them, the Ottoman Turks, the French and British. In 1953, King Farouk was overthrown and Egypt won its independence.
Most of Egypt is desert. The small part that isn't is the Nile Valley, and it is here that 95% of the population lives. Egypt is the second largest country in the Arab world, and second only to Nigeria in population on the African continent.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2008 vintage is brilliantly ruby red in color with garnet highlights. It expresses a complex and intense nose with spicy and balsamic notes which fully fuse with aromas of raspberries, cherries, and ripe plums with light suggestions of tobacco and leather. On the palate, the wine is ample and enveloping with a silky texture across the palate and an intense progression of flavors, which bring out all the elegant and varietal personality of the wine. It is a true and outstanding expression of Sangiovese character.
"The Antinori family's Brunello estate has seen ups and downs in terms of wine consistency over the past five years. But 2008 delivers an honest and nicely concentrated expression that seems to benefit beautifully from the slightly warmer temperatures in its lower altitude vineyards. Dark chocolate, cherry fruit and barbecue spice appear on the finish."

Wine Enthusiast
"A wine with chocolate and hazelnut character on the nose and palate. Full body with chewy tannins and a slightly extracted finish. Outstanding fruit underneath it all. Still needs to come together."
92 Points
James Suckling
"Floral and raspberry aromas and flavors pick up tobacco, soy and briar components in this intense, wiry red. Lean, yet remains persistent and well-balanced, leaving a trail of spice and mineral accents. Best from 2016 through 2032."
91 Points
Wine Spectator
"Vivid medium-dark red. Peach, candied red cherry and underbrush on the forward nose. Large-scaled and almost fat on entry, then lively acidity frames the fleshy red cherry and redcurrant jelly flavors, with complicating notes of spicy black pepper and aromatic herbs adding depth. The finish is chewy, long and noticeably peppery. This young wine strikes me as a major success in the vintage, and it is likely to improve further. Well done.Rating: 90(+?)"

The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit.
One of the most important wine regions in Italy, Tuscany is home to the cities of Florence and Siena, the districts of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, and the wineries of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Ornellaia.

See that bottle? No, not the little one. That's a regular sized bottle, I'm talking about the BIG one. That's the bottle that Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, bought at a Miami bar to celebrate his team knocking out the over-hyped Miami Heat and winning an NBA Championship last Sunday night. It is a 20 Liter bottle of Armand de Brignac Ace Of Spades Champagne produced in France. They call it "The Midas" size since it was inspired by King Midas from Greek mytholgy. It weighs about 100 pounds. Oh, and it cost $90,000. For one bottle. And dude left a nice $20,000 tip for the waiters and waitresses that were working there that night.
Add to that the fact that he's gonna foot the bill for the victory parade that they're going to hold in Dallas soon, so the taxpayers don't have to bitch and moan about paying for it. Love the guy, or hate him, you gotta respect him for cashing out his dot com business right before the big bubble burst in 2000 and pocketing $2.5 billion at the age of 40. Then he goes and lives the dream by buying a sports team to focus his energy and his money on. And he still looks like every douchebag you played against in the beer league softball game:
So, Dodger fans, how'd you like that guy to be your new owner?

Officer of the Month
This award is
to recognize the efforts of an individual with the rank of patrol officer,
whether assigned to our Patrol Division or one of our special units, who has
demonstrated exceptional dedication in the performance of his/her duties during
the previous month. This could be from either a single incident or event, or
from consistently performing at a high level during the entire month. The award
is intended to recognize the efforts of officers that may not necessarily rise
to the level of a commendation.
June 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Jennifer Almonte, who is assigned to the Second Division. Officer Almonte was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant Christopher Kelly, and this nomination was also seconded by and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Kelly stated that "Officer Almonte has done outstanding work since being assigned to the Second Division," and that he has received "numerous reports from other officers and civilians regarding her demeanor and level of professionalism while handling calls on the street."
Lieutenant Kelly reported that during the month of May, Officer Almonte continued to work at a very high level, making several arrests and assisting on many others. He further stated that on May 27th, she and other Second Division officers took an individual into custody who has a very lengthy history of drug use and B&E type crimes. According to Lieutenant Kelly, other agencies were also committing their resources to take this known suspect into custody.
Lieutenant Kelly discussed a number of additional May 2014 arrests involving Officer Almonte, including the following:
· On May 5th, she responded to a fight call on Broad Street and arrested a possible suspect from the disturbance for a default warrant.
· On May 15th, she arrested a person for operating unlicensed.
· On May 22nd, she arrested a person on a violation of probation warrant.
· On May 28th, she arrested a person for leaving the scene after personal injury and unlicensed operation and on May 29th, she made another default warrant arrest.
Lieutenant Kelly also reported that Officer Almonte assisted S.I.U. on May 23rd, working undercover during a John Law Sting Operation; and that Lieutenant Haberek and other S.I.U. officers all spoke very highly of her performance. She further stated that during this successful operation, Officer Almonte was able to assist S.I.U. and arrest over a dozen people.
According to Lieutenant Kelly, "Officer Almonte demonstrated a high level of proactive policing on dispatched calls, checking for warrants, car stops to check on license statuses, and as well as conducting self-initiated arrests. Her extremely thorough work ethic resulted in numerous arrests and self-initiated actions."
May 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Richard Connick, who is assigned to the Second Division. Officer Connick was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant Christopher Kelly, and this nomination was also seconded by and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Kelly relayed that Officer Connick works in the unmarked unit with Officer Haberek on two of the nights he works the Second Division. He went on the say that "Officer Connick has continued to display a strong work ethic and performs at an extremely high level in all of his assignments on the Second Division."
According to Lieutenant Kelly Officer Connick was involved with a number of arrests during the month of April, including a suspect of a domestic incident on April 8th. He stated that Officer Connick and other officers found a female suspect lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor of a Woodlawn Street residence. The officers immediately began medical treatment and subsequently arrested the suspect for domestic charges.
Lieutenant Kelly also reported additional April arrests involving Officer Connick, including the following:
· On April 11th,
Officer Connick assisted the Massachusetts State Police with the arrest of a
male suspect for warrants.
· On April 20th,
Officer Connick conducted a motor vehicle stop of a car that was dangerously
passing vehicles on the wrong side of the street, and subsequently arrested the
operator for unlicensed operation.
· On April 21st,
Officer Connick conducted another motor vehicle stop and arrested the operator
for having a default warrant of unlicensed operation.
· On April 23rd,
Officer Connick and other officers arrested a male suspect as part of the Second
Division WMS7 operation. The suspect had B&E charges, and was taken into custody
for these warrants.
· On April 26th,
Officer Connick responded to a disturbance at a Gardiner Street location.
According to Lieutenant Kelly, the female suspect was extremely violent; she
fought with the officers and needed to be placed into the restraint chair, and
the officers were ultimately kicked and scratched by the out of control female.
As stated by Lieutenant Kelly, "Officer Connick and the other officers involved
demonstrated great restraint and conducted themselves with a high level of
professionalism throughout the incident."
Lieutenant Kelly further stated that "these arrests demonstrate the strong work that Officer Connick produces each month. The arrests varied from violent domestic arrests, proactive car stops, fugitive apprehensions and warrant arrests. There is no single incident to highlight for the past month but it shows that the daily patrol response and proactive stops by Officer Connick produced some solid arrests. Officer Connick handles his calls, conducts proactive policing and constantly assists other officers on the Second Division at a very high level."
April 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Michael McEachern, who is assigned to the Second Division. Officer McEachern was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant Christopher Kelly, and this nomination was also seconded by and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Kelly stated that "Officer McEachern has performed at a very high level during his time on the Second Division." He explained that Officer McEachern has been assigned to the unmarked patrol with Officer Paul Holey, and these officers "have been instrumental with their work in this capacity." Lieutenant Kelly further stated that both officers have excellent knowledge of the problem areas and known offenders in the city, and discussed an incident that took place on March 26, 2014, when they were assigned to the unmarked patrol. Officers Holey and McEachern observed a known male suspect walking in the area of Union Street with an unknown female, who was later identified. The male party has a lengthy criminal history and is known for B&E crimes, robberies, larcenies and crack cocaine use. This individual was also an impact player for the month of November 2013. The officers conducted surveillance on these two individuals and at approximately 0343 hours, they observed the female party breaking into a Lewis Street residence through a smashed out glass window. The officers were able to arrest both of these suspects for this B&E in progress. According to Lieutenant Kelly, this same location was broken into three weeks earlier, and the female party later told detectives that the male suspect was also responsible for the previous break.
Lieutenant Kelly also mentioned that on March 22, 2014, Officer McEachern was working Car 14 with Officer Joshua Seaman. They, along with several other units, responded to a Tracy Avenue location at 0400 hours on a report of a loud party. These officers encountered extreme hostility from several people on scene, who were belligerent and swearing at the responding officers. Officer McEachern and other officers were able to arrest a male party who was the vocal leader of the large crowd, for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. As reported by Lieutenant Kelly, "Officer McEachern and other Second Division Officers were able to diffuse an extremely volatile situation in a professional manner."
According to Lieutenant Kelly, "Officer McEachern has demonstrated a great work ethic and continues to perform at a high level in his daily assignments. His work with Officer Paul Holey in the unmarked patrol has produced several quality arrests, including the incident described above."
March 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Nicholas Woodbury, who is assigned to the Third Division. Officer Woodbury was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant Peter Holey, and this nomination was also seconded by and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Holey explained that Officer Woodbury's work ethic first came to his attention last October, when he and his partner stopped a known suspect on Tudor Street, after a threshold inquiry resulted in this party being charged with larceny from a building. As stated by Lieutenant Holey, "the suspect appeared out of place and instead of just driving by, the officers took the initiative, and as a result, a habitual thief was arrested."
Lieutenant Holey further reported that on or about March 3rd, Officer Woodbury developed information that a male suspect was dealing pills heavily in the Fay Estate area. That individual was later stopped with a rejected inspection sticker and no license, and it was subsequently discovered that he had a significant amount of perc 30s in his possession, as well as over $700 in cash. It was also noted by Lieutenant Holey that perc 30s are the "new oxycontin" and a significant gateway drug to heroin.
Lieutenant Holey also discussed an incident involving an act of open and gross lewdness on March 6th, which was committed in the downtown area. He stated that Officer Woodbury and Officer Ramirez spent a significant amount of time with the victim in the downtown area, driving her around until the suspect was spotted, identified and arrested. According to Lieutenant Holey, "the victim was so impressed with the actions of the officers that she called the Commanding Officer to express her gratitude for not only their professionalism, but the compassion that was shown to her throughout the entire incident."
February 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Detective Stephen Pohle, who is assigned to CID. Detective Pohle was nominated for this honor by Captain Mark O'Toole. This nomination was also seconded by Lieutenant Marie Hanlon, Lieutenant Thomas Reddy and Lieutenant Michael Vail, and was approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Captain O'Toole stated that "Detective Pohle is a dedicated and thorough investigator who quietly goes about his duties and gives his best efforts to any investigations assigned to him" and that "these efforts have recently culminated with significant criminal charges being filed against several defendants."
Captain O'Toole also included some recent examples of investigations conducted by Detective Pohle, as listed below:
· Beginning in February of 2013, there were several armed robberies of convenience stores in Lynn that were believed to have been committed by the same subject. Little information could be developed on this subject, and no vehicle or direction of flight from any of the stores could be confirmed. These robberies were also being committed in other communities and ceased for a period, but resumed in the fall of 2013. In total, it was suspected that this subject had committed 15 armed robberies in Lynn between 2/2/2013 and 11/7/2013, and was also suspected of committing 13 additional armed robberies in other communities during this period. On 11/21/2013, a male suspect was arrested for Shoplifting by Gang Unit personnel, who forwarded information that this individual significantly resembled the robbery suspect. The suspect was arrested in Salem, MA a short time after that for stolen M/V charges; and Detective Pohle coordinated with the other agencies where robberies were committed and conducted extensive interviews. This individual was subsequently identified in connection with several of the armed robberies in Lynn as well as those in several other communities and is currently under indictment in Essex, Suffolk, and Middlesex Counties.
· Detective Pohle coordinated an investigation early this month into several smash and grab B&E's to convenience stores in the early morning hours. He and Detective Joshua Hilton were able to develop a suspect in these incidents. This individual was also a suspect in several thefts and in an unarmed robbery that occurred during this period. Detective Pohle was able to bring charges against this party for several of these incidents. Captain O'Toole also mentioned that although evidence has not been developed as of yet to link this individual to the B&E's, since this person has been in custody on the Larceny and Unarmed Robbery charges, the smash and grab B&E's have stopped.
· Detective Pohle was the lead investigator in the stabbing death of a man on 12/22/2013 at a Mace Place location, which led to the arrest of a suspect.
· Detective Pohle and Detective Joseph Chadbourne were the lead investigators in the death of an infant on 7/8/2013, at a Western Avenue location. This investigation resulted in charges being filed against the infant's step-father and mother in connection with the matter.
January 2014
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Detective Richard Fucci, who is assigned to the Special Investigations Unit. Detective Fucci was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant Stephen Haberek, and this nomination was also seconded by Lieutenant Michael Vail and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Haberek explained that "Detective Fucci has been assigned to the Special Investigations Unit for over ten years, and works with three very experienced and highly professional officers." He went on to say that "Detective Fucci continues to be one of the most productive officers on the unit. Lieutenant Haberek mentioned that Detective Fucci spends considerable time and effort enforcing prostitution-related crime, which includes arresting the Johns as well as the prostitutes. He emphasized that this is not glamorous work and that "Detective Fucci's diligence and persistence continues to have a noticeable impact on the street level prostitution activity."
Lieutenant Haberek also stated that "Detective Fucci is self-motivated and a team player" and that "he consistently demonstrates the qualities that this award is intended to recognize."
December 2013
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Joshua Hilton, who is assigned to the Third Division. Officer Hilton was nominated for this honor by Deputy Chief Leonard Desmarais, and this nomination was also seconded and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Deputy Chief Desmarais stated that "Officer Hilton was recently presented with a chaotic and violent situation and took action that very well may have saved the lives of at least two fellow officers." He also reported that earlier this year Officer Hilton was named to the department's Special Response Team. Deputy Chief Desmarais further stated that "due to Officer Hilton's job performance he served a temporary assignment with the Lynn Drug Task Force, an assignment that earned him high praise from his OIC."
Deputy Chief Desmarais mentioned that Officer Hilton has been previously recognized by the LPD, and also by officials outside of the department, for his role in the Saugus River water rescue in 2011. He also stated that "Officer Hilton is held in high opinion by many in the department, but by none more than his partners and fellow officers on the Third Division."
November 2013
This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Detective Gary Hagerty, who is assigned to the Gang Unit. Detective Hagerty was nominated for this honor by Sergeant Edward Nardone, and this nomination was also seconded and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's, including Lieutenant Michael Vail of the Youth Services Unit.
In his written nomination, Sergeant Nardone stated that "Detective Hagerty is a hard working officer who brings a consistent level of quality police work to his position. He also explained that "Detective Hagerty self-initiates a great deal of the work he becomes involved in, which, in turn has resulted in many quality arrests and investigations being undertaken and solved."
According to Sergeant Nardone, "Detective Hagerty continues to exhibit a knack for finding individuals and/or motor vehicles that have been BOLO`d for having been involved in serious crimes." He relayed that on the evening of November 10, 2013, Detective Hagerty was well aware of a recent string of store robberies that had been committed by an armed individual and was conducting proactive patrol, and surveillance of variety stores in West Lynn. He was also aware of a possible motor vehicle involved in the November 7th armed robbery of the EZ Shop on Chestnut Street, and discovered a red Toyota wagon which had the same three plate numbers as reported by a witness. A Registry query of the license plate indicated the car to be a reported stolen vehicle. A lengthy surveillance was then conducted on the vehicle, involving Gang Unit and Second Division personnel, and eventually, the motor vehicle was towed back to the LPD for processing.
Sergeant Nardone also explained that on November 11, 2013, while again conducting proactive patrol, Detective Hagerty observed a motor vehicle that matched the description of a vehicle being operated by a warrant suspect. This individual was a person of interest in a large number of recent housebreaks, which included the home of a Swampscott police officer. Detective Hagerty then broadcast his observations, and with the assistance of Division personnel; the car was located on Wyman Street and the suspect operator was taken into custody without incident. The vehicle contained a flat screen TV as well as other personal belongings that most likely will be linked to other housebreaks in Lynn and surrounding communities. This vehicle was also towed to the LPD for further investigation and processing.
In conclusion, Sergeant Nardone stated that, "Detective Hagerty is a very capable officer whose efforts are appreciated by his co-workers and warrant consideration for this recognition."

Approximately thirty minutes later, two individuals came to the station to report that they had been threatened with a handgun at the same Washington Street location.

This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer Brian Chisholm, who is assigned to our Support Services Unit. Officer Chisholm was nominated for this honor by Captain Edward Blake, and this nomination was also seconded and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Captain Blake stated that on Monday, April 15, 2013, Officer Chisholm had volunteered to help the Boston Athletic Association during the running of the Boston Marathon. He was assigned to Medical Tent A as part of the Finish Line Medical Sweep Team. Officer Chisholm was stationed approximately 300 feet from the finish line, and his primary function was to look for runners in distress, move them out of the flow of runners and provide aid, or move them up the medical chain. At 1450 hours on that afternoon, the first of two explosions rocked the stands closest to the finish line, where Officer Chisholm was stationed. Shortly after, a second explosion occurred further down Boylston Street.
Captain Blake explained that following the explosions, Officer Chisholm's job responsibilities changed dramatically. Initially, he was instructed to hold his current position near Medical Tent A. After the Boston Police Department made a request for more medical assistance, Officer Chisholm volunteered and quickly made his way to the first bomb site. What he encountered upon his arrival was horrific and unimaginable. He assisted other volunteers and medical personnel in performing CPR on one of the many victims that needed immediate attention. He stayed with this individual and helped get her to Medical Tent A. This victim later succumbed to her injuries. Officer Chisholm then made his way back to the original scene, only to find that all the patients had been moved and the scene secured.
As stated by Captain Blake, "Officer Chisholm acted in a courageous and selfless manner with total disregard for his own safety. His heroism reflects the kind of person he is, and his actions reflect well on the City of Lynn and on the Lynn Police Department." He also stated that "Officer Chisholm comes to work every day in his unassuming position in the IT Department. He always answers the phone when he is not working, no matter what time of day, to help with any IT problem that Division Commanding Officers are dealing with. He takes his job seriously and always does a great job, with consistent dedication and commitment to his responsibilities."

Lieutenant Vail stated that Detective Withrow was familiar with the address and the associates that frequent that location, and because of this knowledge, he was able to identify the suspect.

Lieutenant Vail also added that March 21, 2013, Detective Withrow, along with the other members of the Gang Unit, wrapped up a portion of a lengthy Federal Gang Investigation. Operation "Whiplash" resulted in the arrest of 10 individuals from Lynn and several others in Revere, New Bedford, Chelsea and Dorchester.

According to Lieutenant Vail, "he has received praise from the District Attorney's Office on how well Detective Withrow prepares for his criminal trials and represents our department when testifying on the stand."

According to Sergeant Carrow, "Officer Hilton did a fantastic job in dealing with the informant, from the initial introduction throughout the numerous undercover buys he made from the target." Sergeant Carrow said that the final buy took place on February 4, 2013, and the target, (who was wanted on two outstanding Distribution of Heroin warrants at the time) was placed in custody, along with another suspect.

The operator turned out to be unlicensed and Officer Meaney arrested him without incident and filed all the necessary paperwork.

Sergeant Shinnick also mentioned that on January 11, 2013, Officer Meaney responded to a York Road location to assist Officers Estes, Fitzgerald and Gorman with a domestic call.

He conducted a car stop, recovered cocaine and subsequently arrested the suspect.
As stated by Lieutenant Haberek, "both of these incidents are examples of good police work. Tim knows the players, he has his head in the game, and he is always willing to do the work. These aren't always the most important arrests, but they have a positive impact on our neighborhoods."

This month's LPD 'Officer of the Month' is Officer John Dean, who is currently assigned to the Second Division. Officer Dean was nominated for this honor by Lieutenant James Shorten, and this nomination was also seconded and approved by many of our CO's/OIC's.
In his written nomination, Lieutenant Shorten began by explaining that Officer Dean is the primary dispatcher for the Second Division on the same two days that he is assigned to that division. As stated by Lieutenant Shorten, "While there is no single incident that makes Officer Dean stand out, it is his continued professionalism while working in his capacity as dispatcher that makes him unique." Lieutenant Shorten went on to say that, "The Second Division, while sometimes quiet, can also become very hectic and it is during these times, when Officer Dean shines. He is able to remain calm and focused when several things are going on at the same time and he keeps track of the cruisers and does not panic when things get busy." Lieutenant Shorten also mentioned that Officer Dean is very professional and empathetic with people while assisting them on the phone, and on many occasions; simultaneously keeps track of cruisers going off on calls and officers who are calling off on details during the Division "rush" hours of 0600 – 0855, while WMS 7 service and other functions are underway.

How To Find Exactly What You're Looking For on Craigslist
Craigslist can be a crapshoot. You can get the creeps who tell five different people to come at the same time for one item so they can start a bidding war, the guy who only photographs the good side of a damaged chair, or you can get the most amazing deal in the world because someone just wants to get rid of that awesome Nelson lamp before they move.
Here are some of my best tips for getting what you want out of Craigslist. Patience and a little OCD goes a long way when you really really want something in particular. And if you're like me, the thrill of a long hunt culminating in an amazing deal can be a pretty great high.
1. Try searching within the actual category you expect the item to be in, like bikes, furniture, etc. If that yields poor results, go to the top of the page and select "all for sale/wanted" from the dropdown menu.
2. Search again with your search term. Let's say you want a woman's road bike, or you want a Specialized Dolce Elite road bike...use both as search terms. You can also try "ladies road bike" or just "specialized bike."
3. If something has multiple terms, try them all. Sideboard versus buffet versus console versus cabinet. People won't always user the correct or popular vernacular. Sofa, couch, settee, loveseat, davenport, divan...are all basically the same thing. And maybe the person who calls their sofa a davenport is also the person with a pristine Florence Knoll livingroom set.
4. If a word is difficult to spell or isn't spelled phonetically, try obvious misspellings. Noguchi, Eames, Cadovius...people type quickly or don't read labels carefully. It's worth a shot!
5. When I was looking for a replacement window for my vintage Mercedes wagon after a thief broke it, I began trolling Craigslists in multiple cities. I found someone who had a fender for my same model and emailed them to inquire if they also had the window. They did! So we made a deal, I paid them via paypal and they shipped the window across the country for me. It never hurts to ask and if you're desperate, some OCD web-searching can really pay off.
6. Post in the "items wanted" section. I was looking for 55 gallon drums to filter waste vegetable oil and all the barrels listed for sale were 50+ miles away. I posted what I was looking for and how far I was willing to drive from my zip code. Someone responded who was only 3 miles away. That was a win!
7. I've gotten a lot of great deals on Craigslist, so for karma-sake I like to give back by giving great deals of my own. When I have things that I don't feel like selling or don't want to haul to the local St. Vincent De Paul thrift store, I post a "free" listing on craigslist. Essentially, I take a photo of whatever the item is and tell readers that the first serious person to respond with a time of potential pickup gets the address. Then I haul it out to the curb. If the item isn't gone by the time the person said it would be, I give my address to the next person. It makes it a little less crazy having a parade of strange vehicles passing by or people traipsing down your driveway. Also keeps angry folks from emailing you later upset because they missed something in the free-for-all.
Additional Notes:
As with eBay, Craigslist requires patience and tenacity. You will encounter some strange folks, but you will encounter just as many wonderful people. Just be safe about letting strangers come to your home and going to the homes of strangers. Try to make transactions in daylight, take a pal if you can. Let people know where you're going before you head out to unknown neighborhoods with large sums of cash.

For free items there is also freecycle.com
I have given and received many great items on freecycle and the people tend to have better manners (about responding to posts and picking stuff up) than craigslist
Crazedlist is also another good tool for searching multiple cities.
Combine it with Craigslist Image Prefetcher to show pictures without having to click on the link and it'll make your searching easier.
A second vote for Freecycle!

We look for faculty members who are dedicated to caring, passionate about their subject and excited by the prospect of working within a dynamic, diverse community.
Open-minded and curious, our teachers make discoveries between subjects, forming connections across disciplines. Classroom practices emphasize active, collaborative learning. Team-building activities, sabbaticals, conferences and lectures by leading educators are among the initiatives we employ to develop our faculty's teaching skills.
We have a permanent endowment to help us attract and retain an outstanding faculty. Professional development is an ongoing priority, as we strongly believe that a school flourishes when its teachers are themselves committed to lifelong learning. Approximately 78 percent of our faculty has a master's degree or higher.
In short, our professional standards and expectations are high, and the supports in place are substantial. Living in London is an added and exceptional bonus.
