Angels Among Us: Practical Ways to Help Military Families
- Monday, March 31, 2003
Ask First. Don't call your daughter or nephew and simply announce your intentions to come to their rescue. Ask permission to come and be prepared for a "no" or a "please, not right now" answer.
It's Not About You. If you get one of the two negative responses about a visit, remember that this is not all about you. Don't make life harder for these family members by insisting on your so-called "family rights" or "responsibility" to help.
Asset, Not Liability. If the military family feels that your visit would be a real asset during this time, carefully consider the living arrangements. If your family lives in military housing, it is more than likely very small. Consider staying at an inexpensive hotel, at billeting on base/post, or even renting an RV to stay in during your visit. Close quarters can make for added stress.
Permissive Help.If it is determined that you will go to visit your family, then decide to help without taking over. I've had many friends whose families show up and then let the mom do all the cooking for the additional family members! Ask permission to help; then once you get a green light, by all means clean, cook, do laundry, take the children to the zoo, mow the lawn, change the oil in the car, fix the broken door handles, run errands ... well, you get the idea.
Keep Those Cards and Letters Coming
During Desert Shield, our troops sat in the desert for six months for a three-day ground war. Once the media frenzy of the initial deployment wears off, people get on with their lives and tend to forget the families that remain alone for many weeks. Here are ways not to forget:
Mark Your Calendars. Make a weekly reminder note to send a card or make a call. A small note makes a big difference.
Humor Helps. Humor can be an incredibly healing balm and provide a much-needed release, so you might want to send a funny card, a poem, cartoon, book, photo, or family-oriented video.
Unconditional Love. Do not require a response from your friend. Your card may have meant a lot, but your friend may be so distracted by the stress of the deployment that they may forget to thank you (at least right away). The usual protocols do not always apply during sustained separations from family members.
When in Doubt, Send Chocolate (or Other Tokens of Support)Okay, this piece of advice comes from a chocoholic, but the logic is sound--give the heroes at home small gifts from time to time. These special treats can make all the difference during a difficult stretch. Small acts of kindness reap big rewards to those holding down the fort at home.
Money Is No Object. Thoughtful reminders that someone is thinking of you don't have to be expensive. Drop off a gift basket filled with your friend's favorite foods (did I mention chocolate?) or a video rental of a movie they've been wanting to see (be sure to let them know when it's due back).

Keyshia Cole is off the market. Cole, the R&B songstress who resides in Alpharetta and will play the Fox Theatre Thursday, is dating Cleveland Cavaliers guard Daniel Gibson, Cole's publicist confirmed Tuesday. Their status had been rumored on the Internet, and they were photographed together leaving Cole's concert in Chicago last Friday.
Prior to that, Cole wore Gibson's jersey in her recently released "Trust" video with Monica, and Cole sang the national anthem at a Hawks-Cavaliers playoff game at Philips Arena. If you're wondering, Gibson, a Cavs sub, played 14 minutes that night in front of his sweetie but did not score in Cleveland's Game 3 win.

|Rate an exorcist
Head-spinning drama
Movie: "The Exorcist" (1973)
Exorcists: Father Lankester Merrin and Father Damian Karras, Catholic priests (played by Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller, respectively).
Dilemma: The mother of all demonic possession movies finds 12-year-old Regan MacNeil (Linda Blair) taken over by the devilish Pazuzu, who makes her utter profane language, defile her own body and violently lash out at others. Father Merrin and Father Karras grapple with this powerful demon to save the girl before he utterly destroys her. Their adversary is certainly well-versed in deceit and manipulation and is even able to imitate voices of people they know, which he uses to wage psychological warfare on his devout foes.
Bing: More about 'The Exorcist' | More about Max Von Sydow
Performance: Despite Merrin's age and heart condition and Karras' struggle with his faith, the duo take on Regan's spiritual and bodily captor with plenty of gusto. Up against rattling objects, a levitating bed and nasty projectile vomiting, Merrin and Karras stay steadfast and true, even as they face their own fears. Spoiler alert: Both men pay the ultimate price for their involvement, the former dying first and leaving the overwhelmed young priest to find a way to defeat Pazuzu on his own. It's collectively their finest hour but also their last stand.
Rating: Five stars for kicking demon butt and sacrificing themselves.

Missing the playoffs in back-to-back seasons has created a lot of unrest in Buffalo as the Sabres have more than enough talent to reach the postseason.
Off-Season Game Plan examines what the Sabres could do to get back there in 2009-2010.
The first order of business when the 2008-2009 season ended was to determine the fate of GM Darcy Regier and head coach Lindy Ruff, both of whom were retained.
Of course, they were retained by owner Tom Golisano and managing partner Larry Quinn, who have come under fire for not investing in the team in recent seasons, consistently allowing top players (most notably Daniel Briere, Chris Drury and Brian Campbell) to leave for bigger dollars elsewhere as well as cutting scouting staff, so it's hard to say whether Ruff and Regier are getting a real vote of confidence or if, already under contract, they were just the most cost-effective options.
Even with front office issues, the Sabres only missed the postseason by two points in a season when they had injuries to Ryan Miller, Thomas Vanek and Tim Connolly. It's to be expected in Connolly's case, unfortunately, but there is no need to obliterate the core of this current team because there is the talent here to be a solid playoff team.
That's not to say all's just fine in B-lo. The Sabres have needs, but have enough assets that they can address those needs in both trades and free agency.
Most notably, an offensive defenceman would help get the offence in gear and then, in more general terms, the Sabres would benefit from adding size and toughness up front. They already have the speed and skill, but an added dose of grit would make them tougher to play against.
GM/COACHDarcy Regier/Lindy Ruff
Top Prospects: Tyler Ennis (43-42-85, plus-11 in 61 GP; Medicine Hat-WHL), Nathan Gerbe (30-26-56, plus-2 in 57 GP; Portland-AHL), Tim Kennedy (18-49-67, minus-2 in 73 GP; Portland-AHL)
Though it's been a couple of seasons since Tim Connolly was last affected by a concussion, injuries continue to plague his career as oblique, hip, back and rib injuries have sidelined him at various times over the past few years.
When healthy, though, Connolly is an elite talent and, while he played just 48 games in 2008-2009, it may have been his best season. Surely the Sabres had to swallow hard at offering him a contract extension, but a two-year commitment seems reasonable in the hopes that the 28-year-old can finally stay healthy.
Thomas Vanek's game slipped some when he suffered a broken jaw, yet he still managed to score 40 goals. It says something about his knack around the net that Vanek can put up 76 goals over the last two seasons and still have untapped potential in reserve.
While he was ths Sabres' leading scorer with 70 points, Derek Roy tailed off in the second half, some of which can be attributed to shuffling linemates as the Sabres were desperate to jumpstart the offence. Roy works hard to help overcome his lack of size and, signed to a reasonable long-term deal, should be a fixture as a scoring centre for many years to come.
A strong finish (20 points in the last 19 games) helped salvage Jason Pominville's season, which was generally disappointing. Pominville hasn't missed a game in more than three seasons, so he's durable, but his goal-scoring numbers and plus-minus ratings have dropped in each of the past two seasons. The Sabres need him to be better.
Paul Gaustad provides much needed size and toughness up front and he could be a 20-goal scorer in the right situation. He managed a career-best 12 goals in 62 games last season.
After scoring 19 goals and 35 points in 2007-2008, Dan Paille took a step back, scoring just 12 goals and 27 points. Paille gives an honest effort and could still figure in as a third-line option, but offensive expectations have to be kept in check.
The Sabres are committed to Jochen Hecht for three more seasons, so he needs to come up with more than 27 points and a minus-9 rating. Hecht is a low-maintenance, responsible player, but for the money he's getting, at least 40 points (which he's achieved in six of the last eight seasons) should be a reasonable expectation.
Though last year's eight goals represented a career high for Adam Mair, he's a gritty checking forward who fits well on the fourth line.
While he's steadily increased his production in three NHL seasons, Drew Stafford is capable of more than 20 goals and 45 points. If he gets a good opportunity on a scoring line right from the start of next season, Stafford should continue to improve.
Clarke MacArthur established himself as an NHLer last season, scoring 31 points in 73 games, but his role diminished as the season went on. He provides roster depth with some offensive upside, at the very least.
One of the league's most aggravating players, Patrick Kaleta is tough to play against because of his contact physical play and good speed. His game is limited, so he's not going to climb the depth chart, but he can continue in his role as long as he stays healthy.
While the Sabres have some prospects that could crack the lineup up front, most are on the smaller side, which means that some free agent shopping could help. Oswego, New York native Erik Cole was a flop in Edmonton and has struggled in the playoffs, but finished the regular season with 17 points in his last 18 games and, when he's on, he is the kind of big winger that could help the Sabres.
Further down the depth chart, the Sabres could have some interest in wingers with size and toughness like Travis Moen, Chris Neil or how about oldtime Sabre Brad May?
Top Prospects: Tyler Myers (9-33-42, plus-31 in 58 GP; Kelowna-WHL), Mike Weber (1-7-8, plus-5 in 42 GP; Portland-AHL)
Veteran Craig Rivet was a nice steady addition to the blueline, though a shoulder injury resulted in his playing fewer than 70 games for the first time since 2001-2002. He's a terrific leader, but needs some help.
Toni Lydman is another solid veteran, who has developed into a very sound defensive defenceman and he led the Sabres in both hits and blocked shots. He's a nice fit as part of a shutdown pair.
Ideally, Lydman's partner on that shutdown pairing would be Henrik Tallinder, who has been effective with Lydman in the past, but injuries have slowed Tallinder over the past couple of seasons. Heading into the final year of his contract, he needs to rebound.
While his rookie season had some ups-and-downs, Chris Butler showed plenty of promise, leading Sabres defencemen with a plus-11 rating after getting called up from the AHL. As he continues to improve, Butler will be an integral part of the defence corps.
Despite the troubles the Sabres have had on the blueline, Nathan Paetsch's role has declined to the point that he played just 23 games last season. He didn't play poorly, so it's possible he could figure into the mix again, or it might be best to get a fresh start somewhere else.
Sorely in need of a puck-moving defenceman, the Sabres tried to force-feed Andrej Sekera and he ended up with a team-worst minus-11. Sekera has potential, but is just 22, so it could take some time before he's ready to handle a top-four role on a playoff team.
Towering prospect Tyler Myers has had a terrific season with Kelowna and could challenge for a spot on next season's club. The Sabres shouldn't rush him, but he has the makings of a future stud on the blueline.
What the Sabres really need, though, is someone to come in and quarterback the power play. With Jaroslav Spacek a free agent, there could be a gaping hole in that spot if he's not re-signed.
If the Sabres aren't in the running for Jay Bouwmeester, then possibly a veteran power play specialist like Mathieu Schneider or Marc-Andre Bergeron would help fill the void.
With a dearth of quality puck-moving defencemen on the free agent market, the Sabres may look to the trade market, using some of their depth up front to address the need.
Top Prospect: Jhonas Enroth (26-23-6, 2.75 GAA, .914 SVPCT, 3 SO in 58 GP; Portland-AHL)
Ryan Miller's ankle injury, which kept him out for nearly five weeks in the second half of the season, was a crushing blow to the Sabres' playoff hopes. The 28-year-old enjoyed his best NHL season, setting career marks in goals against average, save percentage and shutouts.
The Sabres, perhaps optimistically, expected Patrick Lalime to provide stability in the backup role. It didn't work out all that well, but if Miller can play closer to 70 games again, it's possible that the backup role won't be all that important.
Buffalo also has prospect Jhonas Enroth on the way. He had a strong rookie season as a 20-year-old in the AHL and another year of seasoning could have him ready to make the jump.
DRAFT13th - Zack Kassian, Ryan Ellis, Jordan Schroeder, Scott Glennie.
Needs: Top pair defenceman, depth forwards. What I said the Sabres needed last year: One top pair defenceman, one top six forward, depth forwards, backup goaltender Who did they add? Craig Rivet, Matt Ellis, Chris Butler, Patrick Lalime.

|Error distribution in randomly perturbed orbits
|Sandro Vaienti1, 2Giorgio Turchetti3Francesco Zanlungo3Philippe Marie1
|Given an observable f defined on the phase space of some dynamical system generated by the map T, we consider the error between the value of the function f(Tnx0) computed at time n along the orbit with initial condition x0, and the value f(Tωnx0) of the same observable computed by replacing the map Tn with the composition of maps Tωn∘⋯∘Tω1, where each Tω is chosen randomly, by varying ω, in a neighborhood of size ε of T. We show that the random variable Δnε ≡ f(Tnx0)−f(Tωnx0), depending on the initial condition x0 and on the choice of the realization ω, will converge in distribution when n→∞ to what we call the asymptotic error. We study in detail the density of the distribution function of the asymptotic error for a wide class of dynamical systems perturbed with additive noise: for a few of them we give rigorous results, for the others we provide a numerical investigation. Our study is intended as a model for the effects of numerical noise due to roundoff on dynamical systems.

Dallas Divorce Lawyer | Dallas Divorce Attorney
Caring for a child is expensive. According to ABC News, the average cost to raise a child through high school is $291,570. If you are a single parent or recently divorced, these expenses can be difficult to cover. That is why child support is so essential.
The Texas Family Code establishes a guideline for calculating child support. This guideline is used by courts and is referred to as the Percentage of Income formula. It helps parents determine how much support is required for the child or children. The court will mandate that a parent pays a certain percentage of his or her income for child support. The percentage is based on the number of children involved.
If you only have one child, the percentage of net income will generally be 20 percent. The percentage for two children is typically 25 percent and for three children it is 30 percent.

A lawyer of former Ukrainian Premier Yulia Tymoshenko, Yuriy Sukhov, assumes that the gas case against his client could be sent by the Higher Specialized Court on Civil and Criminal Cases for additional investigation or a new trial.
"Being aware of the situation in our justice, I don't rule out that our appeal would be partially satisfied – the case may be sent for a new investigation or a new trial," the lawyer said on Thursday.
The lawyer asked that court to take into account the health state of Tymoshenko and not to choose a punitive measure for her in case it takes one of such decisions.

What choice did Ukraine have ?
1/. Freeze to death in the winter
2/. Negociate a Gas contract with Russia's
Of course Russia demand a high big price
Russia told said to Ukraine Pay big $$ for our Gas OR your people will Freeze
Russia turned off the gas because 35 to 40% of the gaz leaving Russian in transit to EU didn't come out the other end. Mrs Tymoshenko's own statements at the time said Ukraine had enough gaz in storage to last 'until the end of the winter'. She also stated that the missing gaz was used as 'technical gaz', IOW used to power the pumps for transit. Russia didn't buy that argument and turned off the spigot. It was after the spigot was turned off that Mrs T went to Mockba and signed the deal.
Let us not forget the villanous role that former President Yushchenko played in this murky affair. If it were not for him and his unrelenting hatred of Yulia Tymoshenko the Ukrainian Government at that time would have had a beneficial contract with the Russian Government. Furthermore, had he not deliberately played the role of saboteur at the behest of his brother Viktor Yanukovych in the 2010 elections for the Presidency of Ukraine, he would not be living in a mansion at the taxpayers expence, and Ukraine would not have had to face the ruinous rule of the authoritarian reprobate, Viktor Yanukovych.

Dating Your Friend's Ex
Is it ever okay?
David Wygant wrote this handy article to guide you through this step by step.
One of the eternal questions that plague men all over the world is, what are the rules about dating your friend's ex? Is there some kind of man code that says that once a woman has been claimed by a member of your pack there is no way another can ever date her down the road? Is there a time frame from when they dated that makes her totally off limits to you? Let's say they dated for six months. Does that mean you need to wait around another six until you can do anything? Until he has another girlfriend? And what happens if this is your best friend's girlfriend? What are the rules then?
Let's set the scenario: Your friend is dating an amazing girl. (And I'm talking about a real friend here, not a friend of a friend, a work friend or someone you see around who goes to all the same events as you.) The whole time your friend was dating this great woman, you always made sure to tell your buddyhow lucky he was to have a woman like her. Every time you hung out with them in a group you guys really got along with each other. She was so cool. And all you kept thinking was, "Why can't I meet somebody like her?"
Can You Date Your Friend's Ex?
But now you're in a predicament — they've broken up. To make things worse, she was the one who broke things off with your friend. Maybe he called you and told you; maybe you saw her out and, in the middle of another great conversation, she brought it up. So what do you do at this point? Is is OK to call her? Or maybe she's started calling you.
Now that she's single, you're really thinking about this woman a lot. You start to develop feelings for her. You guys talk with each other and she tells you she's starting to have feelings for you, too. At the same time, your friend still talks about her and wonders if he did something wrong to ruin the relationship.
Now you're in one of the biggest predicaments of your entire social life. You really want to start dating your friend's ex, and she wants to go out with you. You want to start seeing her, and you have a very strong feeling that you two are really going to hit it off. What do you do in this situation?
How To Handle Your Friend's Ex
There are a lot of guys out there who truly feel that once they've dated a woman she is off limits to all of his friends — no matter how long it's been since they broke up. This is ridiculous thinking. We don't own people; we just share our time with them. It's your job to make the relationship that you have with her a great experience, and when that relationship comes to an end, you need to let her go. You had your time together and hopefully you created some great memories, but now it's not your place to try to change and control anyone's future or the way they want to live their lives.
I am somebody who truly believes that people are not possessions. I don't care if it's a casual acquaintance, I don't care if it's your best friend in the whole world, and I don't care who broke up with whom. If I break up with someone — and I have broken up and been broken up with a lot — I have no problem with any of my friends dating my ex, falling in love with her and even marrying her. A great relationship, and great chemistry between two people, can be rare to come by.
If you're feeling a connection with someone, I firmly believe that you need to take every potential opportunity for finding a great person to be with. And if you're the bystander, if you're fuming because your friend is dating your ex who broke up with you, you need to realize that people are not your possessions. You may have shared something special with her in the past — and that's something to cherish — but now it's time to give your friend and your ex the freedom to do what they want without you in the picture.
What To Do
So, if you have feelings for your best friend's ex, here is what you need to do. First you need to confirm your feelings with her. Sit down with her, clear the air and tell her exactly how you feel. You know she feels the same way about you as you do about her. Make sure you are both on the same page with each other. Then you need to make sure you are both on the same page about your friend. Tell her, "We need to talk about how to approach this situation with my friend. I don't want to lose his but I certainly don't want it to stop me from acting on my feelings for you."
You need to talk this out with her. Both of you know your friend well, from different points of view, and together you will be able to come up with an honest way of telling him so that he will not be angry or hurt. Once you've had that conversation with your friend's ex, you'll need to sit down with him. Depending on how close you are, this can be one of the toughest things in the world — you need to have "the talk."
Breaking The News To Your Friend
When you sit down with him, be truthful and tell him what your friendship with him means to you. For most men, really communicating that to another guy is the hardest part, but you need to get that out there and let him know that you respect him. Then you'll need to ask him how he would feel if you started dating his ex. You really need to be honest and tell him everything. You need to tell him how you feel and whether you're serious about her. He may be fine with it. He may have to sit and think about it. He may be upset and say, "F*ck you. Absolutely not." He may not want to see you for a while. In time, though, he is going to understand.
He's not with her anymore, so give him his space if he needs it. He is out there dating, having fun and sleeping with other women. Eventually, he is going to get over it. Amazing women with whom you have incredible chemistry don't come around that often. You have every right and you owe it to yourself to pursue a relationship with her.
Depending on how close your friendship is, this may be one of the toughest situations of your life. You'll need to display complete and total honesty with yourself and ask yourself how serious you are about it (it's OK if you don't know yet, but you need to be honest). You need to be honest with this new woman in your life and with your friend. This is going to be a tough lesson, but a valuable one. Your ability to have difficult conversations with two people you care about, knowing that those conversations won't be safe or easy, will demonstrate what sort of a man you are.
I loved that quote.. "we don't own people.. we just share our time with them." But do you think that's true? Can you really date a friend's ex?
And will someone please explain bro code to me?!

Business Ideas in the News / April 5, 2012
Alfred E. Mann, for which the Institute is named, is an American inventor himself. As a medical device entrepreneur who helped create the pacemaker, insulin pumps, and cochlear implants, he became a billionaire.
With his wealth, he decided to give back by founding institutes that foster medical technology creation. Three Alfred E. Mann Institutes exist — the other two are at Purdue University and at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
At USC, the Institute helps tackle the more difficult parts of bringing medical invention to market — the U.S. patent process and FDA approval. They practice "parallel processing," a way to accelerate the legal, the business development, and the science at the same time. The Institute aids researchers in intellectual property issues, regulatory issues, testing, scaling, product design, marketing, sales, and distribution.

Revised 3-02
Radiation Safety Office
PDF link
The Radiation Safety Committee and the responsible authorized user must ensure that each faculty or staff member is monitored for radiation dosage to his or her hands when warranted by possible exposures to certain radionuclides and/or radiation machines. (This requirement is in addition to the requirement to wear a whole body monitoring device as described in 9.45.)
State law requires that each dosimeter be issued to a specific individual and forbids the use of an assigned dosimeter by any other person. (WAC 246-221-090)
The following personnel are required to monitor the radiation dosage to extremities (e.g., hands):
- Personnel whose experiments involve use of 1.0 mCi (37 MBq) or more per week of certain radionuclides.
These radionuclides are 32P, 22Na, 59Fe, 60Co, 90Y, 90Sr, 137Cs, and 131I;
- Personnel whose experiments involve use of 10 mCi (370 MBq) or more per week of 51Cr or 125I.
- Some users of radiation machines, such as animal holders and X-ray diffraction device operators.
- The Radiation Safety Office may issue extremity monitors at its discretion based on the evaluation of a particular use of radioactive materials or radiation machines.
Radiation Safety Committee
The Radiation Safety Committee determines whether or not workers require extremity monitors. The committee makes the determination based upon information provided on the Application to Use Radioactive Materials or the Application to Use Radiation Machines. See 9.20.
If extremity monitors (finger rings) are likely to be needed, the committee explicitly states this requirement when the application is approved.
Authorized User
The authorized user notifies the Radiation Safety Office (RSO) when a finger ring is required. The authorized user must notify the RSO prior to actual need for the finger ring.
Need for a finger ring may be based upon the authorized user's own assessment, Radiation Safety Office review, or upon Radiation Safety Committee action.
Radiation Safety Office
The Radiation Safety Office procures, issues, and ensures the timely return of finger rings.
The Radiation Safety Office (RSO) scrutinizes all authorizations for use of certain radionuclides and radiation machines. (See "Applicability" above.) The RSO determines which authorized users might possess radiation machines or radionuclides in quantities that could require extremity monitoring.
The RSO checks radioisotope possession limits to determine which authorized users have possession limits suggesting a need for extremity monitoring.
When an incoming shipment of radioactive materials includes one or more of the radionuclides listed above at the specified activity levels, the RSO issues a Proper Dosimetry Verification Report.
Receiving laboratory personnel are to list the actual prospective users of the materials on the verification report. The RSO uses the verification report information to ensure the assignment of proper dosimetry to the users.
The Radiation Safety Office contacts applicable authorized users by memorandum and follow-up telephone call to remind them of their responsibility to ensure extremity monitoring of group members.
The Radiation Safety Office checks compliance with extremity monitoring requirements during routine laboratory surveys and audits of specific safety procedures.
The Radiation Safety Office withholds delivery of radioactive material to or prohibits the operation of a radiation machine by a noncomplying authorized user until he or she meets the requirements in this section.
The Director of the Radiation Safety Office reports instances of noncompliance to the Chair of the Radiation Safety Committee.
The Chair refers the case to the committee for action. The committee may take the following actions:
- Send a letter of admonition to the authorized user or individual(s).
- Request the authorized user to appear before the committee.
- Suspend the authorized user or individual(s) from operations for a specified period of time.
- Terminate University authorization for the authorized user or individual(s) to use radioactive materials or radiation machines.

SAN LUIS OBISPO Tanner Trosin and Dano Graves eyed each other late Thursday afternoon, surrounded by the view of the Central Coast, the marine air soothing the sweat from football practice.
But they could only conceal their cool demeanor for a second. They grinned, then laughed, with the affable Trosin removing his bulky red mouthpiece to explain: "I talk better without this."
The irony of these former Folsom High School star quarterbacks on the same team again is one thing. But they once again are competing against each other and two others for the starting quarterback job at Cal Poly.
The locale, something of a training camp paradise, adds a layer of novelty for these two, who are opposites, personality wise, but similar in that they pour their competitive souls into the sport. Trosin and Graves say they clear their heads of pass coverages and defensive reads with frequent short treks to the beach.
Trosin and Graves now look the part of beach goers, not at all resembling the pair who helped Folsom to the 2010 CIF State Division II title.
Trosin, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound redshirt freshman, bears shoulder-length locks that bounce in the breeze. Graves, a 5-10, 180-pound sophomore, has something of a curly mop-top that wouldn't fly at the Air Force Academy, where he spent the previous two years.
"Oh man, look what we have here," Trosin said, pointing to the hills and the Mustangs' sparkling practice facility. "Great location, great school. The team is doing well. The beach is five minutes away. We practice in 75-degree weather. What do we have to complain about?"
Graves agreed: "Nothing. It's been awesome here."
Here, Trosin and Graves appear happy with their surroundings and roles. They vow to support each other in this quarterback competition that also includes junior Vince Moraga and sophomore Chris Brown. Regardless of the outcome on Aug. 18, when Cal Poly coach Tim Walsh said he will name a starter, Trosin and Graves insist their friendship will only grow.
Mostly, they want to relive former glory days, this time at Cal Poly, which won a share of the Big Sky Conference championship last season.
"We're getting ready for Game 1, and we're behind each other, helping each other learn, hoping to get better every day," Graves said. "We want the same thing: to win and to have fun."
In 2010, Graves, then a senior, won the Folsom quarterback job over Trosin, a junior. Trosin moved to wide receiver and also played defense. Graves unleashed a season unlike any in state history, setting a season record with 85 total touchdowns. After earning The Bee Metro and MaxPreps National Player of the Year honors, Graves headed to Air Force on a scholarship. He returned to California, explaining that the military life, though admirable, "was not for me."
In 2011, Trosin took over as Folsom's quarterback and became the first passer in state history to throw for more than 5,000 yards in a season (5,185 with 49 touchdowns) and amass at least 6,000 total yards (6,364, including 1,170 rushing with 20 touchdowns). Cal Poly was the only school to offer a scholarship, and he pounced.
The quarterback duel in 2010 didn't divide the passers, though Trosin badly wanted that role. Instead, both players grew to appreciate each other all the more. That theme continues in San Luis Obispo.
"It's a very healthy competition," said Willie Tucker, an Oak Ridge graduate who led Cal Poly in receiving last season. "You can tell there's a lot of friendship and respect between Dano and Tanner."
Walsh, the veteran Mustangs coach, sized up Trosin and Graves: "Tanner, his energy and enthusiasm to be a quarterback, you can feel it.
"Dano is so calm, cool, collected, and he wants it just as bad. These two are totally different, but they both want to excel so bad."
When not competing at practice, Trosin and Graves explore at the beach or play video games.
"Any off chance we can, we go to the beach," Trosin said.
Graves added: "We go to the caves, the cliffs, take hikes. It's all fun."
When it comes to video games, Trosin couldn't help teasing Graves.
"I beat Dano up pretty good in Nintendo 64," Trosin said, to which Graves rolled his eyes.
With that, they picked up their helmets and headed off. Together.

October 16, 2012, 1:53 PM — Ramping up efforts to serve the growing market for mobile Web geocoding services, geographic information systems (GIS) provider Esri has purchased mobile location based services provider Geoloqi. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Esri plans to combine Geoloqi's Web 2.0 technology with its own traditional GIS capabilities in order to offer advanced mobile location services for smartphone applications. Geoloqi staff will be merged into Esri's own workforce, and Esri has designated Geoloqi's Portland, Oregon, headquarters to be the new Esri research and development center for mobile geocoding services.
Esri "does a great job for GIS, and increasingly [mobile Web] startups are understanding how powerful Esri's tools are. But [ESRI] speaks a different language than application developers, and we'll be here as Sherpas to converge the market better," said Amber Case, who was the co-founder and CEO of Geoloqi, and is set to become the director of the Esri Research and Development Center in Portland.
Formed in 1969, Esri has been a long-time heavyweight in traditional GIS software, offering advanced geomapping capabilities to large organizations such as governments, schools, energy companies and other enterprises that work with geospatially coded data. The company says it has more than 35,000 customers.
Through its ArcGIS online services, Esri has recently started expanding its capabilities to work on mobile platforms as well, which have been consuming more geospatial data thanks to popular services and apps such as Google Maps, Foursquare, Yelp. Esri's purchase of Geoloqi will help the company make further inroads into this emerging market, Case said.
Geoloqi provides a background location tracker for mobile devices, a technology that sends alerts, or triggers, whenever the user enters a predefined geographic area. Developers inserted the technology into their own programs by way of an SDK (software developer kit).
With the news of the acquisition, ESRI has launched a new geospatial API service built using both Geoloqi technology and components from Esri's desktop ArcGIS GIS software. The service, when given an address, can return coordinates or triggers for the area around that address. It can also execute reverse lookups, in which, when a latitude and longitude coordinate is provided, returns a specific address or place name
The API could be handy for building applications that find other resources pertinent to a given geographic area, such as nearby restaurants or weather alerts, Case said. Geoloqi provides basic details pertinent to the area mapped, such as zip codes or the names of cities, and the developers can use these coordinates as the basis for geospatial searches using the developer's geographic-specific information.

Meet Rachel Firasek!
Today, our guest of honor is Rachel Firasek. It's so nice to have you here, and I'm sure you're ready for a good time! Let the party begin!
First Questions:
Wine or beer? (If you want a club soda, I'll have to send you to the corner.)Wine, thank you, preferably something sweet and not in a box.
Cake or chips? Are you a sugar or salt person?
Oh, chips absolutely. Pure salt, baby.
Are you old enough to drink? LOL.
Yes, by about a decade-ish.
Decade-ish? Then you must still be a baby…lol. So what did you bring us?
It's an empath thing…
Using your "powers" to help the Dark Hills Police Department hunt down serial killers doesn't leave much time for dating. Not that Piper Anast is complaining. The last thing she needs is some guy brushing up against her and pumping his pornographic thoughts into her head.
When she meets Bennett Slade, a sexy, tormented vampire, Piper stumbles headlong into a telepathic connection with his missing daughter. She can't leave the kid to the evil surrounding her unwanted visions, nor can she resist her draw to Slade. He's the first guy she's been able to touch vision-free in, well, forever.
As she and Slade close in on the evil creature holding his daughter, Piper's powers morph into a deadly fury. To save Slade's daughter-and herself-Piper must face down demons she never knew she had and trust the one thing she keeps from everyone.
Her heart.
Ohhh, we got demons and vampires in the mix. What makes your character and story so special?
I try to write real people—even the vamps. They have real fears, real emotions, and they respond accordingly. My story is special because the soul is special. When you find a way to capture it and hold it in your palm, you hold the key to love or the ability to take it away.
All right, I guess you can come in. Now off to the roast….
What would your characters say about you?
They'd say I was a slave driver. Lol. I twist, torture and maim them to make them into characters we can all care for.
Sounds like your characters have it tough! lol. What was your first sale as an author? Anything special about it?
My first sale was Piper's Fury. It is absolutely something special, and my amazing editor, Heather Howland, helped me mold this into a book that keeps me grinning.
How would you describe your writing style?
Well, I'm a pantser. So, I'd have to say my writing style is backward and chaotic. No, I literally write backward and have to restructure everything to make it make sense. It's a long and tedious process, but you learn a lot from tearing down your own work.
What are you passionate about?
Cheesecake. No seriously, put a NY Cheesecake in from of me and I become feral. It's the only sweet that I crave.
Hm….interesting. lol. I'll know what to do now…What is one thing about you that most people don't know?
I had a near death experience once. Well, I call it that. Lips were blue, focus was gone, and dark things waited beyond the door. I'll save that for another post.
Wow. Do you like more Alpha or Beta heroes?
I'm oddly a strong Beta lover. I know, it's shocking. But, I did say strong, he can't be a total push-over.
How much do you write in a day? Day or Night? Everyday?
Well, when I'm into a story, I can pull about 2K a day, but I do have a day job that takes up most of my daylight hours. I write before work for about an hour and then in the evenings after a bit of family time. And, yes, when I'm writing/creating a story, I'll write everyday. I can't revise and write. So, when I'm in revisions all writing gets pushed to the side.
Where can our partygoers find you and your work?
You can hit me up at my website, there is always something going on there. http://www.rachelfirasek.com
Or you can check out my books on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Thank you so much for coming!
Thank you for having me and I'll be checking in often, so please ask any questions you might have about me or the book!
Comment to win an ebook copy of Piper's Fury!
