ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — The attorney for the man charged with killing two co-workers at a Kodiak Island Coast Guard communications facility offered a medical explanation Tuesday for his clients whereabouts during the shooting.
Federal defender Rich Curtner said complications from gall bladder surgery left James Michael Wells suffering from intestinal issues.
On his way to work on the morning of the deaths, Curtner said, Wells detected a soft tire on his truck but delayed changing it to spend 20 minutes in a bathroom at the Kodiak airport because of chronic diarrhea.
The timing is crucial.
Federal prosecutors say theres a 34-minute period between security-camera recordings of Wells truck driving toward and away from the Communications Station, giving him time to reach the facility, shoot Richard Belisle, 51, and Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins, 41, and return home, where he concocted the flat tire alibi.
Wells is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of murder of an officer or employee of the United States, and possession of a firearm in a crime of violence. If he is convicted, prosecutors will not seek the death penalty.
U.S. Attorney for Alaska Karen Loeffler said in her opening statement that no other person had the means of escaping detection from security cameras at the Coast Guard Communications Station where the men worked. No robbery or other disturbance took place, she said.
This murder was personal and intentional, Loeffler said.
The motive, according to prosecutors, was unhappiness by a disgruntled employee. The Coast Guard was attempting to exert more control over Wells, a nationally recognized antenna technician who for years had called the shots at the shop.
The bodies were found in Building T2, known as the Rigger Shop, an L-shape building about 100 yards from the main facility, Building T1, which is staffed at all hours to monitor messages from mariners.
The morning of the shootings, Belisles security card opened the Rigger Shop at 7 a.m. Hopkins truck pulled in about 7:08 a.m. Within minutes, they would be dead, Loeffler said.
Belisle was shot in a small office he shared with Wells, Hopkins and supervisor Scott Reckner. Hopkins died in the buildings break room.
Wells white pickup truck showed up on security footage passing the main gate of the Coast Guard Air Station two miles away at 6:48 a.m. The same camera recorded the pickup 34 minutes later heading in the opposite direction toward Wells home, at 7:22 a.m.
When Wells claimed to have been checking his tire and spending time in a bathroom at commuter airline Servant Air, prosecutors contend he stopped at the airport, switched into his wifes blue Honda CRV, drove to the Communications Station and shot his co-workers. He was back on the road within five minutes and drove back to the airport, switched to his truck and drove home.
A security camera on Building T1 shows a blurry image of a blue SUV driving by the Rigger Shop at 7:09 a.m. and heading in the opposite direction at 7:14 a.m.
Expert testimony will link the image to the SUV belonging to Wells wife, Loeffler said, undercutting Wells alibi and revealing his murder plot.
It was well planned, it was well thought out, but it was not perfect, she said.
Curtner said the image is not conclusive. The blue blur on which the government case hangs could have been an SUV manufactured by any of nine car companies, he said.
Thats their identification evidence, Curtner said.
Prosecutors steadfastly refused to consider other suspects, he said, Investigators should have looked into acquaintances of the victims families that had issues with illegal drugs. They instead took their cue from Wells Coast Guard supervisor, Scott Reckner, who immediately suggested that Wells had committed the murders.
He poisoned everybody else to think that, Curtner said.
Wells is a devoted family man with no criminal record, Curtner said. After serving 20 years in the Navy and Coast Guard, Wells vowed to never again wear a tie or shave and played Santa Claus on occasion with his long beard. The government case is built on a stack of assumptions, he said.
The facts you will hear will not prove otherwise, Curtner said. The trial is expected to go three to four weeks.

'I feel like I'm a major asset. I can do a lot. I feel like I can run a team being a true point guard,' said former Detroit Mercy standout Ray McCallum, who has worked out for several NBA teams and impressed in interviews. / Jerry Lai/USA TODAY

Odoardis draft live blog beginning at 7.
Marty Blake was an NBA draft deity. He had a keen eye for finding small-school talent like Joe Dumars, Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen. He served as the NBAs director of scouting for more than 30 years and was known as the Godfather of the NBA draft.
When Blake spoke, everyone listened. General managers, coaches, scouts. Everyone. Even his kid.
Blake died in April at 86. When his son Ryan, now the senior director of NBA scouting operations, was asked about Ray McCallums potential as a first-round pick Thursday, he hearkened back to something his dad once said about another player.
Is McCallum a first-round guy? Ryan Blake said. My father once jokingly said this to Geoff Petrie, the GM in Sacramento, one year. He asked my dad, he said, Is this guy a first-rounder?
My dad said, Yeah. If you make him one.
Experts agree McCallum has shown the smarts, speed and size to be an NBA draft pick after three years as Detroit Mercys point guard. But will an NBA team make McCallum a first-round pick?
I wouldnt be shocked if he went in the late first round, said Jonathan Givony, president of DraftExpress. But I think that theres kind of a glut of point guards that are in that 25-to-45 range, and hes right in that mix.
■ Related video: HoopsWorld.coms NBA mock draft
DraftExpress published a mock draft last week that has the Atlanta Hawks taking McCallum with the 17th pick in the second round. ESPN draft guru Chad Ford lists McCallum as the 44th player among the top 100, projecting him either in the second round or undrafted.
Any draft is capricious by nature, subject to the whims and whispers within every NBA front office. This player? Maybe that one? Who knows?
Hes a good player, Blake said of McCallum. Hes got good size. Hes a good facilitator on the offense. He competes on both ends of the floor. Hes a playmaker, too. Hes got a lot of good qualities.
But this just happens to be one of those deep drafts, one of those drafts where the old cliché comes in that its beauty in the eye of the beholder. And we can sit there and we can talk about anybodys game Trey Burkes game and we may like somebody better and we wont be wrong.
Minnesota Timberwolves scout Milton Barnes, a former coach at Eastern Michigan, said the teams that draft a guard in the first round want that player to be their No. 1 guard or a backup.
But that mental part of it is very crucial, Barnes said. A guy has to live that position. You cant just learn it on the fly. Youve got to live that position to understand what alls required of a point guard.
McCallum embodies the nature of the point guard, the teams general on the floor, and comes off as resolute and confident.
I feel like Im a major asset, McCallum said. I can do a lot. I feel like I can run a team being a true point guard. If you need me to score the ball, I feel like I can score the ball and just be a leader, someone whos always had a strong IQ and a love for the game. Im always going to bring passion to the game and do whatevers best to help the team.
McCallum has worked out for about a dozen teams. Interviews are a major component of the process, and he has surely done well in that aspect.
Oh, yeah, Givony said. Hes a very polished, very intelligent guy.
The question marks about McCallum concern his average-to-below-average outside shooting and his good-but-not-great size (6-feet-2, 190 pounds).
Hes not the biggest or longest guy in the world, Givony said. He doesnt have terrible size, but hes not incredibly impressive in terms of his height and his wingspan and all that.
The shooting might not be as big a concern. McCallum shot 24% from three-point range as a sophomore and raised that to 32% last season. And it isnt unusual for players to develop as better shooters in the NBA.
Actually, Barnes said, its pretty common for guys to become slightly better, to go from being an average shooter to above average, or a good shooter to a great shooter. Theres going to be an improvement if they spend the time with it.
Barnes once had a frank talk with two of his best players at EMU, Earl Boykins and Derrick Dial, about the need to improve.
And both guys spent numbers of hours out of practice getting better, he said. And thats the only remedy that I know of for a player to improve ... youve got to put time with it.
In between flying around the country to visit teams in a whirlwind tour he describes as a fun, enjoyable process, McCallum has put time into his shot. Lots of time. He has been working out in Santa Monica, Calif., where the agency that represents him is based.
McCallum is in the gym two times a day. He does yoga, lifts weights and plays three-on-three. He isnt ignoring any part of his game, but shooting has his full attention.
Definitely for me working on my outside shooting has been one of the main focuses, he said.
Any shooter will tell you that sometimes shots just dont fall. The vagaries of the draft can be the same way. Blake said in a draft this deep, teams are trying to hit the home run.
Choices and chances are part of the draft. Blake isnt sure where McCallum will end up Thursday, but he knows where he will be after that.
Hes going to be on a summer league team regardless, Blake said, and hes going to be coveted by a team.

Since June, more than 50 cloud vendors have applied for security reviews under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), said Dave McClure of the General Services Administration. (File photo)
Industry participation is higher than expected in a new program that assesses the security of companies' cloud-computing products and services.
Since June, more than 50 cloud vendors have applied for security reviews under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), said Dave McClure of the General Services Administration.
FedRAMP sets security standards for federal cloud services. Companies have submitted computing models for private clouds, where services are provided exclusively to an agency or department; public clouds, where services are available to both government and non-government clients and housed in a data center off-site; and government community clouds, where services are provided to multiple government clients.
McClure, who spoke at an industry event in Washington last week, said he expects to exceed the administration's goal to complete reviews for three cloud vendors by January. Those vendors will receive a provisional authority to operate (ATO) from a joint board of chief information officers from the Homeland Security and Defense departments and GSA. The provisional ATO proves a vendor's cloud services not only meet federal baseline standards but are secure enough for use by DHS, DOD and GSA.
The provisional ATOs are expected to speed adoption of cloud services throughout government because other agencies can accept the FedRAMP reviews and assess only their unique security requirements, as opposed to starting from scratch.
Documentation produced during the FedRAMP reviews will be stored on OMB's MAX website for agencies to view and reuse, and McClure expects additional guidance for agencies on how that process will work.
But progress hasn't come without challenges and lessons learned.
One challenge is that many vendors don't understand federal security requirements, McClure said.
For example, vendors must prove that their systems operators, who have access to systems that provide government services, use two-factor authentication. This requires users to provide two forms of evidence, such as a password and identification card, to verify who they are before accessing the systems.
Company employees with access to federal data in the cloud must also undergo background investigations, a lengthy process, McClure said. To streamline reviews, vendors meet with the FedRAMP program office early on to ensure they have the proper documentation to prove they meet FedRAMP standards.

December 1, 2015
Associated Press News Release
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The Florida Supreme Court says the Florida Bar can't admit immigrants who are in the country illegally.
The case involves Jose Godinez-Samperio, who came to the United States from Mexico with his parents when he was 9 years old. The family remained in the country after their tourist visa expired and Godinez-Samperio later graduated from Florida State University's law school. He passed the bar two years ago.
But the court ruled that federal law prohibits people who are unlawfully in the country from obtaining professional licenses. The Justices said state law can override the federal ban, but Florida has taken no action to do so.
CBS Web Copy
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. A man brought into the country as a child on a visitor's visa has been denied a license to practice law.
The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday denied Jose Godinez-Samperio's motion for admission to the Bar.
That's because the court can't rule on his admission until it resolves the question of whether people who enter or remain in the U.S. without legal permission can be attorneys in Florida. That decision is pending.
Godinez-Samperio's parents brought him to the United States from Mexico on a visitor's visa when he was 9. They overstayed their visas and never returned to Mexico.
He graduated from Florida State University's law school and already has passed the Florida bar examination.
In January, CBS Miami reported that the state's high court decided to hold off on making a decision until the federal government acted on his application for deferral and a work permit.
President Barack Obama announced the deferral policy for young illegal immigrants in June.

"I thought this recipe turned out terrible. I followed it step by step, but when I baked it it took forever to get done. 350 degrees was too low of a temperature to bake it, I had to adjust it to 400 degrees and put it in for another 30 min or so. Will not make again"
"I love monkey bread...especially when it's flavored like my favorite pecan rolls. Yum! And, frankly, the name Monkey Bread is just so darn cute! Does anyone know why it's called monkey bread?"
"We made these for a church breakfast and everyone loved them! The best monkey bread I've ever tasted? Definitely a keeper!"

AURORA (KUSA) -- Century Theater X-D officially opens Thursday, but Kaylan Bailey, 14, and Hailee Hensley, 13, won't be going to see a movie there, not yet.
Both teens were inside theater 9 on July 20. Bailey's frantic 911 call was played in court last week. In that call she told the dispatcher her cousins Ashley Moser and Veronica Moser Sullivan were shot.
Veronica is the youngest victim of the shooting. She was 6 when she died. Moser is paralyzed, and lost the baby she carrying as a result of the shooting.
"I tried to get Veronica from under her mom because her mother was lying on her chest to protect her she was paralyzed and she couldn't move, I couldn't actually do CPR but I tried," Bailey said.
Wednesday Bailey and Hensley came back to the theater.
"For me, I wanted to go back because that theater was the last place I ever saw Veronica and it really means a lot to me," Bailey said. "So I wanted to see it again, because I feel like when I'm there, there's a part of her there too."
Bailey said she's been to the theater one other time since the shooting, when the construction was just starting.
For Hensley, this was the first time to be back.
"It was good," she said. "I haven't gone to a movie, I kind of feel like I want to. I'm just not sure how it would work out."
Both teens walked in and sat in the same seats as they had that night.
"It brought back memories, but it told me it was safe here. It's better now and things like this don't happen all the time. It's safe here," Hensley said.
"Going back now I feel safer," Bailey said. "I like what they did with it. It kind of makes me want to move forward and stop telling myself that I'm never going to see another movie."
Most of the survivors and victims' families 9NEWS spoke with are choosing not to go back for the opening ceremony on Thursday.

Working Kentucky moms are never off the clock. Between juggling jobs, after-school activities and help with homework, moms put in a lot more than a full day's work. And every dollar they work for is hard earned.
But this Mother's Day, what's happening in Washington also matters to Kentucky moms. Congress can help nearly 300,000 families right here in the Commonwealth by making permanent key improvements to tax credits, putting money back into the pockets of moms who've earned it.

A giant "monumental" stone structure discovered beneath the waters of the Sea of Galilee in Israel has archaeologists puzzled as to its purpose and even how long ago it was built.
The mysterious structure is cone shaped, made of "unhewn basalt cobbles and boulders," and weighs an estimated 60,000 tons, the researchers said. That makes it heavier than most modern-day warships.

Awww, a wee Shrek and a wee Fiona launch "Shrek: The Musical" right into a rousing and often affecting show that families will love.
The energetic top-notch cast - stars and chorus alike - give it their all in the fast-paced show based on the first Dreamworks movie starring Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy, which was based on the book by William Steig.
For kids, the strength of the show is that it seems to follow the movie so closely, fans could recite the lines and duplicate the gaseous body emissions , plus they get some amusing backstories, usually told in song. One includes Lord Farquaad ...

Punk your cat is beautiful! Is she fully grey? She is stunning <3
From her belly to her neck she's white and the tip of her paws are white too. She's beautiful indeed and way funny. She makes me laugh so much all day/night long.
She spent the whole night sleeping next to me which she never does. She goes to the corner of the bed always, her favorite spot in here so it was weird. Guess she realized I was waking up every hour.

The mother of Sweet was even worst than that. She was an incarnation of the Devil. She wasn't only growling at people comming here but she jumped at them with her claws open. She was the most EVIL cat I've seen in my life. Sick.
I'm not ashamed to say it but... I don't like cats.
I personally don't like dogs. At all. Except some, Husky and Dobermans among them. But never been a fan.
Been bitten by one as a kid so that may come from that I guess.
Part of it is that I'm allergic to them.

Mariners' Church, shown in 1934, originally stood on Woodward Avenue near the Detroit River. It was moved to make room for Hart Plaza. (The Detroit News)
The procedure was designed to look as ordinary as possible.
In the years before the Emancipation Proclamation, a wagon full of what looked to be free black laborers would on occasion pull up to Mariners' Church at its old location on Woodward Avenue close to the Detroit River. The group would dismount and start carrying goods back and forth from the wagon into the church sub-basement.
Had a spectator at the corner of Woodbridge and Woodward watched carefully, says Mariners' rector emeritus the Rev. Richard Ingalls Jr., reached at his home in Florida, he or she might have noticed that at some point all the workers disappeared into the church — and never came out.
What that witness couldn't know was that a door hidden in the sub-basement opened to a tunnel that led to the Detroit River and formed one of the last links in the Underground Railroad. Once they'd pushed through the shrubbery that hid the tunnel's mouth, women, children and men bent on escape would get into boats and push off for Canada and freedom.
"The Mariners' connection to the Underground Railroad was largely forgotten till 1955, when they moved the church from its original location and discovered the tunnel," Ingalls says.
He thinks there had been stories over the years about the church's involvement, but with no documentary evidence, those faded over time.
Until, that is, the massive urban-renewal project that created Hart Plaza moved the church 900 feet to the east, to its present location at the mouth of another, far larger tunnel to Canada.
Perhaps reflecting Anglican modesty, Mariners' role in the Underground Railroad hasn't been much advertised. The Rev. Jesse Roby Jr., the first African-American priest to serve at Mariners', thinks most black Detroiters are probably unaware of the church's link.
"I don't think it's widely known," Roby says. "But it's an honorable connection — very much so."
Interestingly, Ingalls notes the original tunnel, long-since demolished, would have run right underneath the Underground Railroad monument in Hart Plaza.
By any measure, it was Second Baptist Church of Detroit, a black congregation, that masterminded local efforts, says Bob Smith, vice president for education and exhibitions at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.
Ingalls points out that runaways were in constant danger of seizure by bounty hunters under the federal Fugitive Slave Act, even in a free state like Michigan. The law required local officials to return slaves to their owners. Helping slaves escape was a federal crime.
"Tracking down fugitive slaves was a big business before the Civil War," Ingalls says, "and Second Baptist knew they were under scrutiny. They had to get the runaways from their sanctuary to the river in secret."
But Second Baptist, where fugitives were often temporarily housed, was located at least half a mile from the water's edge, first on Fort Street and, after 1857, at its present location in Greektown.
"Mariners' was perfect because of its proximity to the water at the narrow part of the river," Ingalls says.
Mariners' also was perfect because it had been built, surprisingly, with rental space in the basement one floor beneath the sanctuary, and a sub-basement below that. For years before the Civil War, a grocer occupied that space. As a consequence, workers carting provisions in and out of the church roused little suspicion.
Detroit, of course, wasn't the only crossing point. Runaways also escaped through Port Huron, Smith says. Nor was the Mariners' tunnel their only possibility. Smith notes that when the river froze solid in hard winters, fugitives could try to make their way to Canada on foot.
Smith says many scholars peg the number of slaves who escaped through Detroit at about 40,000, though that number is in some dispute. Historians often have relied on historical counts of African-Canadians living in Ontario near Detroit, he says, but to assume they were all escapees may be wrong.
"Some argue they weren't all runaway slaves and that many might have been free blacks who fled to Canada to escape the restrictions they still faced in the U.S.," Smith says.
For his part, Ingalls is still a little astonished of the risk Mariners' and the grocery took in helping the slaves.
"Those lily white businessmen running that store cooperated to get those people away from oppression," he says.

Remember that debt consolidation isn't for everyone. You're a good candidate if you have multiple debts like medical bills, eurocard gold credit card bills, personal loans (lån), consumer loans (forbrukslån), refinancing (refinansiering), collection accounts, etc. You may ask how much can you borrow (hvor mye kan jeg låne). But, you should also consider your interest rates because if they're over 15%, you're paying too much with financial charges every month, which is money that you could save or use for your retirement account. Finally, consider if you have a hard time making minimum payments, have gotten behind recently, or are close to your limits. If these apply to you, debt consolidation may be a solution.
If like most people, you struggle with having too much debt, now is the perfect time to start taking action. An effective debt consolidation program can be a good part of your strategy for improving your financial health. Keep the information in this article in mind as you begin to reduce your debt.
X-in will also help you choose cheap loans (billig lån) that suit your needs. They have different loans without collateral (lån uten sikkerhet) offer you can choose for, such as consumer credit (konsumentkredit), SMS loans (SMS lån) and many more.

Hi have a club speed of 78-80 in my 6 iron and in my driver 90-95.
What iron shaft would be the best for me ?
thanks for the help
This appears to a borderline r flex to stiff. I've got about the same specs. I would go in the direction of regular if you want the ball to stop better (higher ball flight).
What I did about a month ago was hit my DCI 981 8 iron (with DG S300 Sensicore) and a couple of my Eye 2 irons (7 iron with KT-M stiff and 8 iron with DG X). This came about because I had a bit of a distance anomaly with them (I would hit the 8 iron 2-3 yards farther than the 7). The Eye 2 irons matched in launch angle and ball speed (13 deg and 98 mph) but the 7 iron was normal distance (150 yd) and the 8 iron was about 10 yards short of normal (126 yd with a wide dispersion - I was basically all over the place). The DCI 8 iron had 120mph ball speed, 19 deg launch angle and almost 140 yd average.
Also, the other day I went over to Fairway Golf and hit a few balls with a Eye 2 yellow dot 7 iron and liked the feel of the KBS and the Dynamic Gold S300. TT Lite XL is a good shaft also - gives a higher ball flight vs DG but you feel the clubhead a little more. TT Lite XL ($8.50) and True Temper DG (13.99) are affordable. KBS is a bit pricey (Golfsmith price for taper shafts is $35 a pop).
DG R300 Sensicore is a good shaft because it dampens any vibrations - it gives the so-called "soft buttery feel" you read about.
What flex do you use now? how far do you hit your 6i?
i use a regular flex and i hit my six iron 145 yards
That doesn't quite seem far enough, I wouldn't think the HL's would cause you to lose distance.......do you hit the ball really high?, maybe give it a bit of a slice?
but anyway, I would think you have appropriate shafts, probably just need a bit of a swing adjustment, maybe pick up another 10y.
I hit my 6 iron consistently 175 an if I need to, I can crank it to 181. I use a KBS Tour Stiff, but might need to switch to a TT X100 shaft with my driver swing speed being 111mph avg. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The golf instructors always tell one to go on the side of more flexible for distance.
I'm not King Kong, like most of those that post on this forum (I used to hit a 7 iron 165 yd in my 20s and could hit a 3 iron 220 yards then). I'm good for 145-150 yards with a 7 iron and I use a 7W and 5H in place of the 3-6 irons (I choke down on the 5H to cover the gap). I can hit my DCI 981 4-6 irons OK but it is a lot less work to use the 7W and 5H.
Best thing to do is go to a fitting station (since the standard fitting club is a 6 or 7 iron) and try a DG X100 vs the KBS Tour Stiff. Take the same head and compare them on a launch monitor first.
I had X flex on an 8 iron in my Ping Set (the label said DG X). I had an anomaly where I would hit it 3 yards farther than the 7 iron (which had a KT-M stiff on it). One day I took it, the 7 iron and the 8 iron in my DCI 981 iron set (which has DG R300 Sensicore). The launch monitor showed a 13 deg launch angle and 98 mph ball speed on my other set and a 19 deg launch angle and 117 mph ball speed on the DCI. The 7 iron average distance was what I expect out of one (150 yd). The other 8 iron was showing an average distance of 126 yd and I was all over the place! The DCI 8 iron was 135 (my normal distance) and a tighter shot pattern. I am in the process of reshafting the other set (TT Lite XL r flex - I used this shaft on a set of irons I constructed and a couple of my persimmons have the same shaft).
2 years ago
I am also looking for some help on shafts. I am presently looking into upgrading my irons and am locked in to some AP1's. I have a driver speed of 110. Not sure what my 6 iron speed is, but I do know I hit it 190-200yds with a uniflex shaft that comes stock on -4 big berthas. I know I should be looking at a stiff shaft, but how stiff. Was looking for info on the KBS and Project x. Thanks
I hit the AP2 6 iron 185-190 with a high flight with the stock DG S300 shafts. With my next club purchase, I would get a proper fitting, as I would expect to use a different, or stiffer shaft.
With 190-200 yard 6 irons, you should be on the PGA tour. 150-160 yard 6 iron is regular flex. S400 or maybe even X100.
Lou G
With 190-200 yard 6 irons, you should be on the PGA tour.

I wish that is all it took. I consider myself a long hitter, but I am a terrible scorer. If you are young, tall or flexible, distance isn't a problem.
I do hit it that far. No fish story. 9 iron. 145-155. 8 iron. 160-175. 7iron. 175-185. 6 iron. 185-200. 5 iron 200-210. Thanks for the advice. S400. What about project x? Or KBS?

The day began like so many early winter mornings of seasons past. The shriek of the alarm clock roused me from sleep and sheer will coupled with the promise of the impending pursuit of giants through the ice forced my departure from the warm embrace of my bed. For this particular excursion I was privileged to play host to a handful of close friends and as such, made my way upstairs to join my fishing partners for the day.
Already gathering around a veritable Northwoods feast of venison bacon, scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, and hash browns, the alluring aromas from breakfast quickly chased away any remaining sleepiness as palettes began to water and senses sprung into overdrive. As mouthfuls of food were washed down by copious amounts of coffee and orange juice, we discussed with great anticipation the impending foray onto new water.
If the rumors were true, we had indeed stumbled onto the veritable mother lode of relatively unknown and untouched monster first-ice pike. The clanking of dishes coming to settle in the bottom of the sink followed by the bang of the patio door and subsequent thudding of boots as they scrambled down the deck stairs to the waiting trucks were the only sounds to pierce the brisk early winter morn.
With Metallica blaring from the speakers, we scurried down highways and county roads until our turns necessitated a lowering in speed as our destination approached rapidly. The off-loading of gear was immediate as everyone could hardly wait to cut through the newly formed ice, set their lines, and waited like a youngster on Christmas morning for that first big surprise.
More on fishing: Fishing news from around the state | Your fishing photos | Build a map | Read fishing reports | We're blogging about fishing
Grabbing nothing but a spud I scurried out onto the lightly powdered surface. My gait was an awkward combination of speed walking and skating with my Iceman boots, a spectacle indeed. Im not sure of the exact moment I realized I was in a bit of trouble, but it was a just a tad before my icy dance floor disintegrated beneath me and I found myself plunging feet first into the frigid water.
Falling through the ice is a terrifying ordeal. At the initial realization of what is happening, the mind seems to fast-forward to every horrific way the tribulation might possibly end. This process is promptly ended as the physical shock of being immersed in ice cold water expels just about every thought, along with your breath, out into the brisk winter air.
I was lucky as waves of new sensations (all unpleasant to say the least) washed over me, I came to realize that I was standing, albeit in chest-deep water.
Like the proverbial bull in a china shop, I panicked and thrashed, groping and grasping for anything to help clear me from my frosty predicament. After what seemed like an eternity I was able to find ice with thickness and in water shallow enough to make my way out, my muscles seemingly losing strength and coordination by the millisecond. Needless to say my trip was cut short as my soaked clothes were peeled from my skin and I was rushed back home wrapped in a blanket, the heater set on high and doing its best to belch out much needed warmth.
My approach to ice fishing safety, regardless of time of year, has changed drastically over the years fueled in large part by the one too many close calls, as illustrated above. While I yet embrace the early and late ice seasons, if I have any doubt as to the safety of the ice I merely will not venture forth; simply put, it is always better to live to fish another day.
In reality, aside from steering clear of the ice altogether there is no completely fool-proof method of determining ice safety springs, cracks, heaves, currents, and abnormalities all play an integral part in ice formation and safety, and are not always evident to the naked eye. The risk factor becomes compounded with the added weight of multiple anglers, especially when vehicles become involved. Am I suggesting avoiding hard water angling absolutely not; rather, stressing the importance of heading out prepared.
In addition to your bait and tackle, precautions such as the wearing of safety studs on boots, and having ice picks and a whistle readily accessible should be routine. These items are available as part of Frabills safety kit or you can assemble your own. A good length of rope attached to a throw able flotation device takes up minimal room in a sled or shack but can be a life saver in the course of an emergency.
Clothing can also act as a safety device such as in the case of Clams new IA Lift Suit which includes an internal lift lining that provides added buoyancy for anglers finding themselves in the water instead of on top of the ice. The greatest safety tool of all however is your brain if it doesnt look right or feel right, dont take the chance.
Have yourself a safe and warm ice fishing season, Ill see you on the water

Ok over the past year ive lost 60lbs and still trying to lose more. It seems that after losing the weight i lost alot of clubhead speed and the swing feels completely different. Anyone else experience the same thing.
Great question:
Before: After:
That's me and Billy Casper playing in a tournament after I shed 90 pounds (same sunglasses). The CORE went to hell, and I had to hit the weights and the Resistance Bands very hard, as well as develope a daily and weekly routine. I lost about 10-15 yards but have since added an additional 10-15 by keeping the weight off for the past three years and my body in tip top shape for an old guy. The swing will take care of itself if you pratice diligently and keep working on balance etc. It's an adventure, but it will come back as will your swing speed if you work on it. The key is that you have to do something about it...work out and excerise becomes the new normal. Best of luck, and GREAT job on the weight loss!!
Last year I had lost over 40. I had gone from hitting a slight draw to a horrible hook. My swing had developed into alot of upper body movement. For me, with the significant body change, I had to take up yoga to become more flexible and loose. Yes, the swing had completely changed with weight lose, but now it is actually more powerful and smooth.
I haven't experianced what your talking about but i also havent had to lose weight. but i can see where the large change in weight and body shape would affect the swing path and mechanices. this sounds like a normal thing. when i changed my swing to be more of and inside to out swing i initaly lost yards. they did eventualy come back. so i would say keep with it pound some range balls and you'll see results soon enuff
cheers greens and fairways.
P.S. congrats on the weight loss
Steve congrats on the weigh loss. glad hear your story and its good to see someone has experiance to pass on to others
Cheers greens and fairways to all
First of all congratulations and great work on the weight loss. I went through the same thing away ago- when you lost the weight your body probably burned off quite a bit of muscle, although the majority of it was fat even if you lose 10 pounds of muscle that is substantial. I would recommend you first check wi your doctor, and if he gives the ok begin weightlifting on a frequent basis using a combination of compound lifts (ie bench presses, lunges, pull-ups/pull downs if your body still allows), core movements (sit ups, medicine ball twists).
Thismis very bare bones info, but combine some of this with some lean proteins in your diet and you'll be hitting lasers again within 4-6 months!
No doubt it changes your life, and adjustments are needed. Survivlists at heart, we preferentially lose muscle over fat. Worst case scenario - gaining weight is also preferentially adding fat, so losing 50 pounds and gaining 40 can mean the net lose is all muschle.
I lost 30 but have gained 8 mph because of stretching and similar workouts already suggested. I also improved core and hip rotation so I was able to rotate more turn and stop going into a reverse tilt. I can also comfortably walk 18, so even without improving my game, it was worth every pound. You've done the hard part, now you can focus on getting into game shape.
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I originally lost the weight by doing a bunch of cardio. Which is why i suspect i lost some muscle with that. Over the past 6 months i have been at the gym lifting weights and doing some cardio. It sounds like some stretching and some core work should be the next step. Thank you everyone for your help.
Yes, last February , I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Following the surgery I lost over 50 lbs and my swing speed has dropped severely and still trying to get comfortable with the swing again. Doing some exercises daily and putting lbs back on I need to work on core and upper body strength. Since I was made disabled I am able to hit balls daily if weather permits! Muscle memory seems to be coming back! Now just get stronger!!!!

The Indiana Pacers have yet to complete a full training camp under Frank Vogel, who has been the team's coach since January 2011. But they got off to a strong start Tuesday.
Vogel attributed it to consistency. The Pacers not only return their starters from last season, but the players have been working out together for the past month.
Last year's training camp was reduced because of the lockout-shortened season. ...

Sports Network Names Five Football Players Preseason All-America
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- The Sports Network has named five Big South football players to its 2012 Preseason All-America squad, the second-straight year the Conference has had at least five honorees.
Selected to the First-Team were Liberty teammates Malcolm Boyd (OL) and Kevin Fogg (KR), while Charleston Southern defensive back Charles James was a Second-Team honoree. Stony Brook running back Miguel Maysonet, who was named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List on Thursday, is a Third-Team selection, as is Coastal Carolina tight end David Duran.
Fogg was named a First-Team All-American as a kickoff return specialist by the Sports Network following the 2011 season. Last year, Fogg led the country by averaging 33.5 yards per kickoff return (717 yards/23 returns), setting a program and Big South record. He also set a program record and was one of only two Division I players (FBS and FCS) to finish the season with three kickoff returns for touchdown, tying the Big South record.
Boyd, a 2011 Associated Press Third-Team All-America selection, started nine of the 10 games he played in last year. He graded out an 86 percent for the season, helping him earn first-team all-conference and second-team all-state honors. He recorded 60 knockdowns and only allowed one sack during the season. Boyd was part of an offensive line that was named the team's "Offensive Player of the Week" after the line's strong play against Coastal Carolina on Oct. 15.
He was also key part of Liberty's offensive line that helped the Flames finish the year ranked No. 8 in the country in scoring offense (35.91 points per game), No. 19 in passing offense (270.27) and 20th total offense (426.25).
James matched a CSU single-season record with six interceptions in 2010, and picked off two more passes a year ago to enter his final campaign only one away from tying Phillip Ashley's program record of 11. In addition to his ball-hawking, the Jacksonville, Fla., native also displayed his nose for the football by finishing third on the 2011 Bucs with 40 solo stops and 66 total tackles. James has also proved to be a game-changer in the return game, as he ran back 19 punts for 185 yards in 2011. He got the Bucs on the scoreboard with a 34-yard touchdown return versus Wesley College, and displayed his elusiveness with a 46-yard return in a back-and-forth affair with rival Coastal Carolina.
Duran returns after suffering a season-ending injury last fall. The two-time, First-Team All-Big South selection and 2010 All-American played parts of only four games in 2011, catching five passes for 75 yards. Duran ranks seventh on the CCU career receptions list with 58, while ranking sixth on the school's all-time pass receiving yards list (820). Also, Duran is only two receptions shy of becoming the first tight end in Big South history with 60 career catches.
Maysonet's 2011 season was one for the ages as he rushed for 1,633 yards, the most in Stony Brook and Big South history, and 15 touchdowns, earning Big South Offensive Player of the Year honors. He had two games with four touchdowns, a Conference record, and totaled more than 100 rushing yards in eight games.
Entering 2012, Maysonet is tops among all active players in yards per game (115.0) and second in yards per carry (6.45).

Top IT Certifications To Jump-Start Your Job
IT isn't what it used to be. Gone are the days of worrying solely about your specific silo -- be it networks, storage, or servers -- and sending related issues to another team. Today's IT professionals must be masters of convergence. They need to understand and manage and virtualization, cloud computing, and the wide range of emerging technologies that feed into them.
They also need to be fluent in open source, comfortable with advanced network design, and ready to embrace software-defined everything. In other words, they need to be able to demonstrate that they know a lot, and there's no more powerful way to do so than by holding a cadre of infrastructure certifications.
To help navigate these increasingly complex waters, we've put together a list of certifications that can help infrastructure professionals deepen their skills in several areas that will make themselves especially valuable in the coming few years.

New Academy of Blended Learning to Benefit San Jose Catholic School Educators
Wednesday, May. 15, 2013
SAN JOSE and SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 15, 2013 – In a move designed to improve strategic outcomes at Catholic schools in the Diocese of San Jose, more than 100 teachers and administrators at seven area Catholic schools will participate in a year of professional development to receive a new Certificate in Blended Learning.
The year-long program is being offered starting June 2013 through a new Academy of Blended Learning, a collaboration between the Diocese of San Jose and the School of Education and Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University. The Academy is part of the Saint Katharine Drexel School Initiative, an ongoing project to revitalize Catholic education in the Diocese of San Jose.
Both the Drexel School Initiative and the Academy are being funded by a generous grant from the Sobrato Family Foundation, as part of the foundation's commitment to leadership in "building a strong and vibrant Silicon Valley community."
Blended Learning
"Blended learning" encompasses a set of tools and practices that aim to maximize the use of technology and advanced content to make students' learning experience more flexible, personalized and lasting. It has been shown through research and field experiences to be effective, efficient, and of greater relevance to students.
"I am very excited about the possibility that teachers, students, and parents will all have an opportunity to learn in the most promising ways we have available today," said Kathy Almazol, superintendent of schools for the Diocese of San Jose. "This really brings us into the twenty-first century, while still holding on to everything we love about Catholic schools."
The benefit of blended learning is to personalize the process so students learn what is important in the ways they can best learn, according to Steve Johnson, the director of the Academy at Santa Clara University. It allows learners, and those who support their learning, to select from a very large set of content and tools, he said.
"Learning and teaching have changed in today's world of 'anytime, anywhere' learning," said Johnson. "Blended learning brings together the best of what teachers, parents, and classrooms have to offer, with the best that technology and the entire world can offer."
Educator Experience
During their year in the Academy, teachers and administrators who work with kindergartners through 8th graders will engage in their own personalized, blended learning experience, choosing from a rich menu of intensive summer workshops, ongoing support, and activities available throughout the year.
Because teachers in the participating schools have long blended face-to-face, digital, and community-based learning experiences, the Academy will focus on more comprehensive and skillful use of technologies, particularly in reading and mathematics.
"We are very much looking forward to the opportunity of working together with teachers and administrators in the diocese," said Nicholas Ladany, dean of the School of Education and Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University. "The Academy of Blended Learning is a wonderful expression of Santa Clara University's own mission to develop excellent, ethical, and compassionate professionals for our schools."
Also, the Academy will further support the long-term aims of the Saint Katharine Drexel School Initiative by helping refine the blended-learning curriculum, assessment tools, and teaching methods for future Academy training.
"Learning programs for education professionals—such as this Academy—transform participants' views of technology from something they have to something they use every day to benefit their students' learning, now and for their future," said Pedro Hernández-Ramos, chair of the Department of Education at Santa Clara University.

1) Capture the hell out of them. Try to get them early.. I usually found my colony with the pioneer and send the soldier to capture their colonies. Try to avoid them from growing colonies above 3, since they get Sieur de La Salle as one of their first fathers, and you'll have to keep any of their stockaded colonies (rather than relocating their colonists)
2) Scouts should be able to meet with them if you move into one of their cities, IIRC.
