This is the way of the future in many jurisdictions. It is common here in SoCal, especially with the new breed of officers. They will do anything to get guns "off the street". Officers have been known to wait outside the shooting ranges waiting for people to leave. Then they pull them over to see if their guns are being transported in accordance with the law.
The EXACT same scenario happened to me, as happened to the guy in the OP, but I was arrested and charged. My guns were unloaded, in locked cases, vacuum sealed in plastic, and separated from the ammunition. All done above and beyond the letter of the law here in CA, but the officer lied on his arrest report.
My arresting officer falsified his police report, and only admitted it to the City Attorney under direct questioning. BUT she only agreed to ask him if he lied after I told her I wanted to go to trial, would spend whatever it cost to make it happen, that I would put the arresting officer on the stand under oath, and that I had a witness who could back up my claim. (And the fact that she knew, trusted and respected my attorney because they had worked together at the same firm years before). Luckily for me my witness was the LAPD Watch Commander at the Division where I was booked. If not for him backing me up they would have pushed for a 6 month sentence, $10,000 fine and confiscation of my guns. He was one of the old guard. And I was not willing to be intimidated into pleading guilty to any charges and giving up my right to a trial.
I presented the City Attorney with 30 letters of character and professional reference from active LAPD officers, retired LAPD officers, local PD officers, Federal Agents, prominent public figures and others. I presented her with my professional accreditations and history with law enforcement. None of it mattered to her.
It cost me over $4500 in legal fees, 18 months of drama, and eventually the case was thrown out. I even got my guns back, which NEVER happens in L.A.
But it would have been a different story if my witness had decided not to do the right thing and back me up.
It was pure intimidation from the start.

Damn it is good to be in MS sometimes. To the best of my knowledge, i can legally transport a firearm in my car; of course, i don't know if every LEO stuck on traffic duty has that same understanding.

I'm glad things worked out for you in the end. I doubt back in NY it would have gone that way. Hell, my own cousins husband, a retired NYPD asked me if it was legal to own an AR10 when I first got mine last year. I mean really, he did 20yrs on the job and has no idea what he's talking about. Yet it's perfectly alright for him to carry whenever he goes out even though he's no longer on the job.

This is sad and I hope not indicative of Law Enforcement across the country!
What is the Safe Journey Act? I'll have to look that one up!
I am surprised that when advised that this individual was with the press that the LEOs didn't back off. They had to know this would get written up and that the guy would probably file suit (which if he hasn't contacted NRA or GOA, he should).
This type of harassment has to friggin end!!

If I was in NY (or anywhere else) I would have followed the NY laws, just as I was following L.A.'s laws. I was pulled over randomly, and cooperated fully.
I was NOT in violation of any laws, and when confronted with the proof (and his own admission) that the arresting officer falsified his report to say that I WAS (in violation) the City Attorney chose the prudent path and dropped all charges. She knew I was not intimidated, and intended to spend $100,000 in my defense if need be. But mainly I think it was my insistence that I would have both the arresting officer (and his partner) called to the witness stand, along with the Watch Commander who saw what happened and was willing to verify my story. And maybe the other officers present as well as the jailers who booked me and thought it was all BS.
I also explained to her in no uncertain terms that immediately after I was found not-guilty, I would be filing false arrest charges, police brutality charges (the handcuffs were put on me so tightly that I had cuts all the way around my wrists on both hands, (to the bone in one place), even though I was 100% compliant) as well as conspiracy charges because of the number of officers and City Officials who knew the truth but still urged prosecution.
I must say, the most satisfying part of this was getting my guns back. I walked in to the LAPD Division and the OOD (nice guy) asked me if he could help me. It told him I was there to pick up my guns and he started laughing. I showed him my court order for the release of the guns and he said, "Man I want to see this!" So he walked me back to the property room where the property manager told me "We DON'T give guns back!", and I replied to him "THIS time you do!" and gave him the court order. He had never seen one, and had to call the judge to verify it. Priceless. But then I had him and the Officer accompany me out to my car where I put the guns, and ammo, right back where they had been when I was arrested. Then I waved to them, and drove off.
But what would have happened if I had not had the financial ability to hire a good attorney? Or had lost my cool and been charged with some trumped up charge? Or buckled to their intimidation and pled down to some lesser charge instead of fighting it?
And, if "ignorance of the law is no excuse", why doesn't that apply to officers who arrest or intimidate people like the guy in the OP? When they are the ones who are "ignorant of the law" they should pay a price.

I'm not all that sure about the Safe Journey Act....
More and more I'm hearing about more LEO acting like this guy did In Ohio where I lived (Cincinnati) LEO will about call out a SWAT team if you have a weapon with you. I have a friend still there that their only real reason for getting a carry permit was because she was getting shook down many times when leaving the range. She would get told that it is considered concealed having a weapon in your vehicle, even in the trunk. Some friends here in Ky. that live in more populated areas say they're starting to see it more now. LEO have enough to do as it is. I just don't see a need to look for more trouble to get in. I've always respected LEO for the job they do but it's getting harder when this kind of stuff is going on.

Wtf !!!
If anyone was breaking the law it was those dumb ass cops ! Usually the southern states are pretty liberal about firearms but if you were going through a small town that was the problem. Many small town depts. north and south are on a power trip and don't necessarily abide by state rules. If I were you I'd get a lawyer and fight this injustice ! You haven't done anything wrong. Call the NRA, they will help you and represent you if and when you take it to court.
You'll get your firearms back too . Stories like this make me sick ! The laws need to be changed for legal citizens who want to own and carry guns.
Good Luck my friend, I hope you can get your firearms back !

I am amazed at the restraint he exercised! It would have been my luck to run into a couple of morons like that. I've never run across an unprofessional police officer before and I have dealt with alot of them but just like any vocation I am sure they are out there. I echo a previous poster who stated that it would be prudent to have a hard copy of the gunlaws to point out to a potential goober if the need arises. What else can you do?...going ballistic is definitely out. All of the LEO I know are adamantly pro-gun and would never behave that way. A true professional would know and understand the law. These guys weren't it.

From the book,
"Traveler's Guide to Firearms Laws in the Fifty States"...
for Tennessee
Firearms Ownership
: , unrestricted, no permit or license required
Black Rifle Ownership
("Assault" Rifle) : unrestricted, no permit or license required
Machine Gun ownership
: no state restriction, compliance with federal laws only
Firearm law uniformity
: preemption law, cities prohibited from creating new laws
Right of Self Defense
: castle doctrine, right protected by statute
Open Carry
: prohibited unless one possesses a permit to carry a handgun
Concealed Carry
: licenses granted on a "shall issue" basis;
automatic recognition for non-residents with carry permits from ANY other state
Vehicle Carry & Transportation
firearms must be unloaded and in plain view or secured in commercial gun cases
in the vehicle
If the victim truly transported firearms as described, the officer was clearly in violation of the Tennessee state laws. I do not buy into any story that the officer was ignorant of the laws...he knew them, just didn't give a damn and was out to pursue an agenda.
He lied about the Tennessee state firearms laws
He lied about his dog identifying on drugs in the car, in order to effect a search
The whole notion of "probable cause" in this country is becoming a joke, as time and time again, police are demonstrating the willingness to fabricate any blatant lie they have to in order to stop or search a vehicle.
I also want to say this...all of that discussion of having been to the Second Amendment Rally, etc. etc. - TMI - shut up !!
When stopped, ANYTHING you let pass your lips is just more information a cop will use AGAINST you...NOT to your benefit.
There should have only been 3 things this person should engage in discusion :
Why have you stopped me?
Am I being detained? If so, why?
Am I under arrest? If not, then may we go?
No? Go back to number two and repeat...are we being detained, and why.
It was smart to carry copies of the receipt of ownership. Some States are using this as a reason to confiscate guns, if you cannot show a receipt - it is still illegal behavior for tehm to take it, but some are doing it.
There is getting to be a more fine line between the police and the crooks and thugs...and the punks in black robes back at the court house don't help either.
I remember a time when we had Peace Officers...now we have Law Enforcement Officers. Surely there are still some reputable, honest officers out there, but over the last 15 years or so there has been ever increasing "Us Against Them" (the public) attitudes from officers and militarization of police forces.
It is not good to read stories of law abiding citizens being harrassed and theft by officials being committed.
On the 1100 rounds of ammo in the trunk. Yes, I know technically that was not illegal. BUT...I think that is an amount of ammo that will surely draw negative attention to you. Let's be realistic folks...what trouble was this person going to get into that would warrant 1100 rounds of ammo??
And when questioned about it...all of the talk about possibly needing that much to defend himself at the Second Amendment Rally and aiding police officers during some potential catastrophe - again, TMI, shut up ! NOT necessary to dig yourself a hole with all of this additional discussion. I'm sure all of that rhetoric just made him sound like the "gun nut" the biased media portrays gun owners to be.
He should pursue this legally and get this resolved. The sad part about it is even if he wins, these bad cops just go about their business with no reprimand, and the court will insult him by making him pay court cost. With bad law enforcement like this, this crap would change if when a citizen won, their legal fees had to be fully reimbursed by the state and NO court cost paid. Even if you win, you are punished financially by the system for doing nothing wrong.
The Justice System in this country has become less about justice and more about the system.

4:30 p.m.: West Virginia Legislature approves pay raises
West Virginia's teachers, elected judiciary and other state employees have won pay raises from the Legislature.
The House voted 74-24 for a compromise measure today. The Senate passed the bill 27-6. Most Republicans opposed the raises.
The raises include $1,488 for teachers, $970 for troopers and $835 for natural resources police.
The adjutant general would get $32,500. Judicial raises would range from $7,500 for magistrates to $15,000 for Supreme Court justices.
School workers would get $500. State employees would get between $500 and $1,200.
The proposal would increase annual general tax and lottery spending by $67 million. Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin had proposed one-time payments. He's said he'll consider limited permanent raises.

The Vikings have been in Mankato less than a week, and fans are already anxious to see where their favorite players sit on the team's depth chart. After four training camp practices and this morning's walkthrough session, Mike Zimmer and his coaching staff were expected to make a few changes to the roster, but things appear to be relatively the same as they were on Wednesday.
Thanks to Daniel House at Vikings Corner and Arif Hasan for the quick updates. I expect we'll see a few changes in 11-on-11 during today's afternoon practice:

There have been times when the rain made the window panes hazy with their drops and I have wanted to bite into these. When our backyard looked like a watercolor painting through the bleary glass: unfocussed, washed out and deep deep green that I have evoked that whiff of smell in my memories.

Diabetes Health Center
U.S. Diabetes Cases Jump to 29 Million: CDC
At the same time, total medical costs and lost work and wages associated with diabetes and its complications rose from $174 billion in 2007 to $245 billion in 2012.
One expert said the new numbers were discouraging but not unexpected.
"The increasing number of people with diabetes in the United States and worldwide is not surprising to the caregivers at the front lines of the epidemic," said Dr Ronald Tamler, clinical director of the Mount Sinai Diabetes Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
However, he stressed that, "while a third of the country is at risk for developing diabetes, it can be prevented with lifestyle changes. Patients with diabetes can live full, active lives, but need to seek out comprehensive medical care to avoid the complications of their condition."
Left untreated, diabetes boosts the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, vision loss, kidney failure, limb amputation and premature death. Diabetes can be managed through physical activity, diet and the use of insulin and medications to lower blood sugar levels.
It's also important for diabetes patients to take steps to reduce heart disease risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking, the CDC said.
Another diabetes care expert questions whether the resources are there to care for all these patients.
"With more people identified, we need more resources and providers to care and educate them," said Dr. Loren Wissner Greene, Clinical Associate Professor at the NYU School of Medicine in New York City.
"Unless diabetes can be prevented or well treated and blood sugar controlled, we face an escalating and devastating future of human and financial cost," she said.

Looking for the heart of construction to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct? Look no further than the massive construction zone to the west of Seattle's stadiums. This area will change frequently between now and the time the SR 99 tunnel opens to traffic.
Enlarge the photo below to see a rendering of the future south portal, where SR 99 will connect with the surrounding surface streets.
Last updated Dec. 11, 2015
A clear view of the future State Route 99
It's getting easier to see the future of SR 99 near the stadiums. Seattle Tunnel Partners' work on the northbound tunnel approach and portal is nearly complete. Crews are now focusing their attention on the future northbound on-ramp into the tunnel from South Royal Brougham Way.
South operations building progress
The SR 99 tunnel's south portal operations building continues to take shape on the construction site west of the stadiums. The building is located south of South King Street and just west of SR 99. Visible to northbound drivers, it will house maintenance vehicles, ventilation fans and emergency power when the tunnel opens to traffic. STP installed the building's yellow ventilation stacks in July 2015 and will install the exterior glass wall of the ventilation fan room in early 2016. This post talks more about the tunnel's two operations buildings.

I met the folks who run the MINTS office a few months ago. They were needing a website and I do websites. I spent an afternoon with them. Real people living real lives. Nothing fancy. Their vision is clear and well defined, and, as far as I can tell, they live sacrificially for the sake of their calling. I was impressed enough to offer to do their website free of charge. The MINTS vision is making solid, stable churches a possibility all over the world!

Matt Wells: We're going to have to stop 'the QB run game (against BYU)' (+video)
Transcript of Utah State football Monday press conference
"Reviewing San Jose State, offensively, I think we did a pretty good job. I think we showed what we could do in the run game a little bit more than we had in previous weeks. I think as a whole in the red zone we didn't do what we normally do, we need to finish our drives. One time we had a holding call on the offensive line, we put that on us and we've just got to finish our drives. I think a lot of people want to know about Kyle Whimpey, that's like losing a brother to me as an offensive lineman. We had Sini (Tauauve'a) come in and he did an awesome job. We'll have him in for practice this week and I think that's good. He's been here a year already so he knows the offense, I think he just needs to play with a little more confidence and he'll be good."
Previewing BYU:
"As far as this coming week with BYU, It's an exciting week for everyone here at Utah State. Everyone gets amped for this game and I do, too. Even being from Washington, I grew up in a fairly Mormon community and everyone seemed to like BYU. I never have liked BYU, so it's big for me. They look good and they're a good defensive team. As I look at the front, they have Kyle Van Noy and a lot of returning guys. Eathyn (Manumaleuna) came back from an injury last year and he's a good player, they've got good players."
On BYU linebacker Spencer Hadley:
"I played with him, we were on the same team (in high school), and he's been a good friend of mine. I've called him recently so we've talked a little bit. He's a good kid, I feel bad for what happened, but you live with those rules when you go there, that's the deal."
On being motivated by the injury to Kyle Whimpey:
"I think that's a big thing. Right after it happened, if you came to our O-Line huddle we were quiet, it almost had the feeling like we lost the game, but I think we all knew that meant we had to step our game up. Sini (Tauauve'a) coming in, we've practiced with Sini, he knows the plays, he knows what he's doing and he's a good player so we didn't really loose a beat. Plus, when you're playing between Tyler Larsen and Kevin Whimpey it's hard to do bad with as much experience as those guys have."
On the depth of the offensive line:
"With Sini (Tauauve'a) and then also Bill Vavau coming in, we do have some good depth to us."
On why the offense struggled with BYU last year and what they are going to do this time:
"Honestly, we obviously want some redemption for last year. That was a very big disappointment for our offense. We pride ourselves, especially the offensive line, on scoring points and getting touchdowns. I can't really say what it was last year, something wasn't right with us. I think from the top-down we just didn't perform to our best and this year we want to come out and show what we really can do."
On BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy:
"We're definitely preparing for him. He always finds a way to make a play. We were watching film today and he's four yards away from the offensive tackle, the tackle barely sets off and he jumps up and bats the ball. He's that good of an athlete that he seems to make plays no matter where he's at on the field. We've got to account for him for sure."
On BYU linebacker Alani Fua:
"Fua has played well. From what I've seen on film, I haven't watched a ton yet with it being Monday, but he seems like a solid outside linebacker as well. I don't really know too much about him right now, but he seems like he'll be some good competition."
On Joey DeMartino:
"I think the biggest thing with Joey is that he cares and he runs hard every play, you never see him take plays off. Even when we're in practice just doing walk through, he goes hard all the time. He just shows that he has heart and he cares and he wants to win. I think that's a big deal, it helps him do well."
On improving technique as an offensive line following the USC game:
"We did a lot better, definitely a lot better as an offensive line. We worked hard, it was a short week last week, but we worked hard on getting things right last week, especially as a front. Coach (Mark) Weber is a great coach and he's getting us where we need to be."

At present, one of the most promising windows to the functional organization of the human brain is magnetoencephalography (MEG). By mapping the magnetic field distribution outside the head the sites of neural events can be located with an accuracy of a few millimeters and the temporal evolution of the activation can be traced with a millisecond resolution. This paper reviews some forward field calculation approaches suitable for the interpretation of the brain's electromagnetic signals. Inverse modelling with multiple dipoles is described in detail. An example of the analysis of the somatosensory evoked-responses illustrates the potential of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm in finding optimal dipole positions.

Vegas case seen to show 'sovereign citizen' threat
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A foiled plot by two self-proclaimed adherents of a sovereign citizen movement to kidnap and execute Las Vegas police officers shows the potential for violence from a growing group that renounces government and is considered a domestic terror group at its extremes, experts and investigators said today.
Allegations that David Allen Brutsche, 42, and Devon Campbell Newman, 67, planned to confront police officers during traffic stops and kill them if they resisted illustrated the volatility of official interactions with people committed to the idea of fighting governmental authority, they said.
"You look at their motivation being that the government that gives the officer authority isn't viable, and if they get a following, it's a threat to be reckoned with," said Kory Flowers, a Greensboro, N.C., police detective who studies sovereign citizen groups and teaches police about them.
"Even if it's a crackpot idea, four or five guys can be a tactical assault team," he said.
Heidi Beirich, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., counted seven killings of law enforcement officers by alleged sovereign citizen members in the past 10 years in South Carolina, Louisiana, Arkansas and last year in Alamo, Calif.
Other officers have been served with "paper terrorism" arrest documents and bills for millions of dollars, Beirich said, or discovered liens filed against their personal property.
"It becomes, at the end of the day, 'We hate the government, and the government has no right to tell us what to do,"' Beirich said.
The center estimates there are 300,000 adherents to the sovereign citizen anti-government philosophy around the country.
Former West Memphis, Ark., Police Chief Bob Paudert thinks there may be twice that number.
Paudert blames the 2010 death of his son, West Memphis Police Sgt. Brandon Paudert, on a sovereign citizens confrontation during a traffic stop in their hometown. Another officer also died in that shooting, before suspected sovereign citizen followers Jerry Kane and his 16-year-old son, Joe Kane, were killed a short time later in a separate police shootout in West Memphis.
"They're willing to die for their beliefs," said Paudert, who now travels the country talking about the group.
Brutsche is an ex-felon child sex offender who sometimes sold water to tourists on the Las Vegas Strip, while Newman has only speeding, parking and vehicle registration tickets in her background.
The two stood before a judge Friday and told him they didn't recognize his authority to keep them in jail.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Conrad Hafen had none of it.
"So noted," he responded.
The judge made sure Brutsche and Newman read the criminal complaints against them, then sent them back to jail pending a Sept. 9 preliminary hearing on charges of felony conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit kidnapping and attempted kidnapping.
Over Brutsche's rambling objections, the judge appointed the county public defender's office to represent him and set bail at $600,000.
Hafen named a lawyer to represent Newman and scheduled her bail hearing for Monday. Newman's lawyer didn't immediately respond Friday to messages.
Police allege Brutsche and Newman held training sessions about sovereign citizen philosophy, shopped for guns, found a vacant house to serve as a "jail," and drilled bolts into wall studs to hold cross-beams on which captives could be bound during interrogation.
A police report alleges Brutsche and Newman recorded and planned to post videos about their actions and sovereign citizen ideology following the first abduction.
Brutsche said he expected to draw a large following once they started because of the publicity, the report said.
Police began investigating Brutsche after he insisted to police and judges that he wasn't subject to their authority and the laws and regulations of the United States, Las Vegas police Capt. Chris Jones said.
Jones characterized Newman as an acquaintance and roommate of Brutsche who shared his ideology.
Records show Brutsche served three stints in California prisons before leaving a facility in Tracy, Calif., in Sept. 2011. Since then, in Las Vegas, he has faced more than 20 criminal cases on misdemeanor offenses including doing business without a license, obstructing a public sidewalk, driving without a license, driving an unregistered vehicle and failing to appear in court.
Las Vegas police said today that Brutsche had 17 bench warrants when he was arrested Tuesday.
Judges noted his declarations that he was a sovereign citizen and continued to move his cases forward, according to court records.
"Each time we came in contact with him, he became increasingly adamant that police had no authority over him or his actions because he considered himself a sovereign," said Jones, head of the Las Vegas police regional counterterrorism center.
Federal authorities regard sovereign citizen extremists as domestic terrorists.
Beirich, at the Southern Poverty Law Center, said not all people who consider themselves sovereign citizens are violent.
But she called traffic stops involving people driving with fake license plates or without registration or driver's licenses a "typical flash point between cops and sovereigns."
It is interesting that this article regarding the "Sovereign Citizen threat" is considered news worthy enough to be run in the Vindicator, yet I did a search and found no recent reference to any coverage of Ayo Kimathi.
Ayo Kimathi is the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employee currently responsible for buying weapons and ammunition for the Immigration & Customs Enforcement division of DHS, who is also currently running the "War on the Horizon" website promoting race war and the killing of white people.
I also did a quick search of MSNBC.com and CNN.com, and found no reference to Ayo Kimathi.
Hmmmmmmm……I wonder why one story is so important that it must be covered, and the other is not. Puzzling, isn't it??
Further observations:
I placed the same basic comment & question under the Friday article regarding Sovereign Citizen on CNN.com. My comment appeared at first, but after a short time it was removed and disappeared. What an odd thing!? I can't imagine why his would occur.
I also looked at the coverage of both stories offered by Fox News (often derided as "Faux News" and other dismissive insulting names in this forum). I found both stories were covered equivalently.
CONCLUSION: If you relied on the Vindicator, CNN, or MSNBC for your "news", you would only know about one of these stories; the one that fit the mind-set and pre-conceived narrative that the main stream media wishes to purvey. On the other hand, if you watched or read Fox News, you would be equally informed about the details of both stories.

Screens light up around Angela Woodin. The radio buzzes. She talks and types.
With the Randall County Sheriff's crest on her shirt and butterflies on her shoes, Woodin awaits the next emergency.
She's the voice you might hear coming through the officer's radio during a traffic stop or the calm voice you get when you dial 911. Woodin is a dispatcher for the Randall County Sheriff's Department.
"It's never the same thing every day," she said.
Woodin, 23, a dispatcher for 212 years, works the morning shift, driving from Borger and arriving at 7 a.m. at the communications center near the jail off Georgia Street and Loop 335.
She first checks the overnight calls, then takes her station among four computer screens and dons her headset. The screens show the incoming call and a map of the county. They also show the location of each deputy, the deputy's task and which channels of the radio are active.
She and another dispatcher take turns handling the phone and the radio, switching about halfway through the shift.
Woodin likes working the radio best.
"It keeps me on my toes," she said. "You have to pay attention because they are depending on you."
When she's taking emergency calls, Woodin first tries to calm down the callers, many of whom are injured, have lost a child or witnessed an accident.
"You have to be calm so they calm down," she said. "If you get hysterical, they'll get more hysterical, and you can't get anything done."
She recalls one of her most stressful calls. A man had been robbed and shot and wandered up to someone's home. The residents put the injured man on the phone. He mumbled incoherently from the pain. Woodin was able to keep him calm and put paramedics on the phone to assess his injuries.
Sometimes Woodin runs into those she has helped on the phone lines. A student in her speech class at West Texas A&M University was talking about an accident he was involved in. Hearing the details, she recalled she was the dispatcher who handled it.
"I said, 'I took that call,"' she said.
Job Specs
Qualifications and Training: Dispatchers should have a high school diploma and expect to do two to three months of training.
Salaries: In Randall County, dispatchers start at about $26,700.
Job Availability: Carrie Rockenfeller, communications supervisor, said turnover is low in her department, but opportunities for employment do occasionally arise.
But most times, she'll never connect with those she's helped.
The speech class is one of three classes Woodin is taking this semester. She hits the books at the campus library after her shift and manages her time between a Tuesday night class and two Internet classes.
Now she's studying criminal justice with an interest in the forensic side of law enforcement.
"When I started working here was when I started thinking about it for a career," she said.
Woodin said the job is more than answering phones. Dispatchers talk with deputies, run search warrants, file missing child reports, enter tickets into the database and run stolen vehicle reports.
"I like it when it's busy, when we have lots of calls. I like the excitement, the adrenaline and the camaraderie of the officers," she said.
Woodin completed about three months of training before handling the job on her own. She has worked evenings, the overnight shift, and days. And she has recently been recognized with a Silent Hero award.
Carrie Rockenfeller, Woodin's supervisor, said she was nominated for the award because of her attitude of professionalism and caring.
The board of the Potter/Randall Emergency Communication District presented her with the award earlier this month.
The shift can be busy or slow, and Woodin never knows what to expect.
"I can sit around all day and do nothing or we can do call to call to call," she said. "You have to be ready for anything."
In the middle of the shift, Woodin has a 30-minute lunch break when she usually munches on something from home. "I'm on a diet. I think all women are on diets," she said.
After lunch it's back to work. Stray dog calls and family fights are the most common calls.
"Sometimes I get antsy and I wish something would happen and sometimes I'm, 'OK, it can stop now,"' she said of the varied pace.
Rockenfeller said dispatchers need to adjust to that varied pace and have good listening and comprehension skills. Typing is a plus because all the data is entered into computers.
"You have to keep busy in the slow times, in the lulls, but then when it's busy your adrenaline kicks in. You don't even think about it, you just do it," she said.

This review is from:
In The Zone (Audio CD)
Here's something for Brit bashers and tabloid reporters to think about. She's still here. Yep! And she's enjoying fabulous success with this, her fourth and possibly best yet, album. I'm sure it's a surprise to some, but they'll just have to cope with it. People can call her talent into question all they like, but it won't stop her from being an incredibly capable pop performer. She doesn't need to wail like a banshee a la Christina to be able to craft excellent pop tracks like the ones on this album.
In fact, the current top 40 smash 'Toxic' blows away almost every Britney and Christina single. It's sheer pop perfection in under three and a half minutes. The first single 'Me Against The Music', of course, isn't nearly as good the current one. Madonna's guest vocal did have a hint of desperation about it, but it provided both with a top 40 hit, and is availble on here in both original and remix versions.
Britney does appeal to the current formula to making a hit single on '(I Got That) Boom Boom' featuring the Ying Yang Twins and the R.Kelly penned 'Outrageous', but neither should make an appearance on the charts, as they are most definitely the worst pair of tracks on this record. Shockingly, Britney's usual weak point with creating dull ballads doesn't really hit hard on this album, with 'Everytime' providing an actually worthwhile listen.
While that track is sweet, Britney's best tracks are made for dancing and grinding. The Kylie Minogue inspired 'Breathe On Me' is a sexy dance pop number that needs to be a future single. The funky 'Showdown' is also a big personal favorite. I also like the slinky Moby produced 'Early Mornin' quite a bit. Suprisingly, the self pleasure themed 'Touch Of My Hand' proves to be a solid track.
The rest of the album contains the same quality expected from Britney as one of pop music's premier starlets - catchy and well crafted. Britney has long since moved beyond the label of being 'Today's Debbie Gibson', and with more records like this she'll be deserving of a title more like 'Tomorrow's Madonna'.

No Longer Immature, But Not Full Grown
Nov. 26 2003
This review is from:
Mh (Audio CD)
Stepping out the shadow of Batman and IMX, Marques Houston isn't exactly the standard fair I'd go for when buying an album. I don't generally have a taste for modern R&B males beyond maybe Usher and if you want to really stretch it, Justin Timberlake. This album is quite generic of the genre and sounds like a fusion of the afformentioned Mr. Raymond and IMX's little brother group B2K. This isn't exactly bad, much to my absolute surprise.
The song that originally caught me for this album was actually the flop first single, the painfully devoted 'That Girl'. The track is something I imagine would be at home on any Usher album. 'Clubbin', the second single and only top 40 hit so far for Marques, didn't grab me as quickly. I'm thinking it's likely due to the highly overrated R.Kelly working the production and throwing his vocals on in the background. Anyway, this shortcoming was easily overcome, and I now think 'Clubbin' is probably the strongest track available here. The third single 'Pop That Booty' is painful though, with the constant chants of "pied, pied, pied piper" and Jermaine Dupri's miserable guest rap.
Further exploration of the album leads to territory that's been covered countless times before - love lost ballads and mid-tempo thumpers. Marques has a pretty good voice, but the material is just so generic. The songs are nice, but they aren't anything that would set the charts on fire. Also, the pair of remixes stuck on at the end could easily be dropped, as they add nothing to the total vibe of the album.

A Taste Of 'Becstacy'
Nov. 26 2003
This review is from:
Becstasy (Audio CD)
Becky Baeling has become somewhat of a mini-superstar on the American club scene this past year, thanks in no small part to having dancefloor filling hits with 'If You Love Me' and 'Getaway'. Initially, this actually turned me off, because club divas tend to be, for a lack of a more descriptive word, dull. Great vocalists perhaps, but quite dull. So I passed judgement without actually hearing any of her songs.
Then I heard 'Getaway', which reminded me of UK pop tart Sarah Whatmore's debut track 'When I Lost You' and some of Aussie star Kylie Minogue's best disco pop singles. Not only was she a talented vocalist, but she actually managed to produce a genuinely good pop tune. It lacked mainstream success however, something that was also absent from Becky's debut single 'If You Love Me', which is present here in an album version and a Tony Moran/Mac Quayle mix edit. These are two of the strongest tracks obviously.
For her third and final single from this album, Becky stepped back in time and remade the Belinda Carlisle classic 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'. However, I think it made a poor choice as both an album track and single. Though vocally strong, the generic dance production drains the track of it's special zing. It has also been covered several times recently anyway. A better choice as third single would have been Becky's down and dirty remake of Karissa Noel's single 'Corrupt', which is on fire. Other single worthy tracks include the not quite anthemic 'I Snapped' and the bitchy camp of 'Diva'.
All together, 'Becstacy' makes for a very solid debut from a talented woman. It's a shame Universal doesn't have a desire to further promote the project, which almost seems dead on arrival as far as pop chart promo is concerned. Hopefully her club success will allow for future album releases, because I'm sure Ms. Baeling has quite a bit more to say.

This review is from:
Very Best of Cher (Audio CD)
A pillar of pop culture since the 60s, Cher has had many compilations released over the years in her name, but none were as definitive as this 2003 release 'The Very Best Of Cher'. Gathering songs from every era, from her days as duet partner to Sonny Bono to her recent role as club music queen, this collection is the perfect sampler of Cher hits for the casual fan and a perfect starter for new fans.
The album opener is Cher's number one dance smash 'Believe', from her 1998 album of the same name. Other cuts present from that album are diva anthems 'Strong Enough' and 'All Or Nothing'. Her most recent studio album 'Living Proof' yields the powerful 'Song For The Lonely' and the Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins remix of 'Different Kind Of Love Song'. Her mid-90s club classic 'One By One', remixed by the notorious Junior Vasquez, is also featured.
Some of her best rock pop hits from the late 80s into the early 90s also put on a good show here, the most easily recognized being the Diane Warren penned power pop of 'If I Could Turn Back Time'. The hits 'Just Like Jesse James' and 'Save Up All Your Tears' also feature the words of Ms. Warren. Michael Bolton turned out the suprisingly excellent 'I Found Someone' for Cher, while she duets with Peter Cetera on the ballad 'After All'. 'Heart Of Stone' proves to be another strong rocker, as this era for Cher closes with her infectious take on the classic 'The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss)'.
In the early 70s, Cher released three of her all time best singles - 'Gypsies, Tramps, & Thieves', 'Half-Breed', and 'Dark Lady'. Incredibly catchy with an interesting story behind each track, all three went to number one on the Billboard chart. In the late 70s she mounted the first of many comebacks however, this time with a disco record called 'Take Me Home'. This record was a top ten hit, and was more recently reworked by British pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor into her solo debut single 'Take Me Home (A Girl Like Me)'.
Cher started her career as singing partner and wife to the late Sonny Bono, creating the undeniable classics 'I Got You Babe' and 'The Beat Goes On', both of which are featured here. While she sang with Sonny, she did manage to do a few solo songs as well, two of which make the cut here - 'All I Really Wanna Do' and 'Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'. An excellent beginning to an epic music career.
Widely varied and always good, Cher is perhaps the only star who could been called the Queen of Pop before the likes of Madonna made her appearance in the 80s. Truly a musical original, and this album illustrates that perfectly. A must buy!

Really Blowing My Mind
May 9 2003
This review is from:
Ultimate High (Audio CD)
Stunning. That's all I have to say about this little overlooked nugget of pop genius. From the bouncing opening cut and second single 'Beautiful You' to the mellow closer 'What I've Found', Carly Hennessy released an album that should have been the pop chart revelation of the year 2001, but instead was criminally ignored, and from what I can tell, lost her recording contract, after her debut single 'I'm Gonna Blow Your Mind' failed to set Europe's charts on fire last year.
The album itself is the child of former New Radicals Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois, with their lyrics and production present on every track. Personally, I think this is some of their best work behind the scenes, easily blowing previous Alexander produced acts like Ronan Keating out of the water. Carly's vocals are great, and combined with the excellent New Radicals, the album just amazes.
The singles are what originally drew me to Ms. Hennessy, the first being the extremely infectious 'I'm Gonna Blow Your Mind', a powerful chorus and her vocal made this a perfect pop single. The joyous follow up track, 'Beautiful You', is nothing less than brilliant, a lively proclamation of love that never fails to make me smile when I hear it.
Carly's album is much more than just those two singles, however. Uptempo album cuts like 'You'll Never Meet God (If You Break My Heart)' and 'Get You Off' are cut from the same cloth as the singles, and are just as good too. She can also work a ballad or two, the stunning 'Surface Wound' and 'Rip In Heaven', being some of the slower highlights.
One of the best songs here, 'Just Missed The Train', was originally performed by Danielle Brisebois herself, and sounds excellent here. American Idol Kelly Clarkson has also released the song on her new album, which could mean this deserving song could have another chance at hit status.
A really good album. A really, really good album even, it's such a shame it was so ignored, and Carly will never get the chance to really show people what she's got. Maybe she'll release a second album someday, but if not, this excellent pop record is something to definitely be proud of, a huge smash or not.

Just A Little Bit Of 'Faith'
Dec 31 2002
This review is from:
Faith (Audio CD)
Ah, Faith Hill, one of the most standout of country's ladies for quite awhile now. This album, 'Faith', began her incredible rise to full fledged pop diva, thanks in no small part to the infectious crossover record 'This Kiss', and the heartbreaking ballad 'Let Me Let Go'. The former of which still notches up a good bit of radio airplay every now and again.
It's obvious with this assortment of songs, that Faith is a pop singer in a country star's body. Alot like Olivia Newton-John, a sweet voiced blonde crossover queen. I don't see why she gets so much flack for it either, the tunes are excellent and the vocals are always perfect.
All the songs on this release prove to be strong, energetic rockers like 'The Secret Of Life', 'Me', and 'The Hard Way' are mixed in with warm ballads like 'You Give Me Love', 'Love Ain't Like That', 'My Wild Frontier', and the Diane Warren penned Tim McGraw duet 'Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me'. My absolute favorite cut is a ballad I mentioned earlier, 'Let Me Let Go'. Such a killer song that one.
The album closes with a tune pulled from the pen of none other than Sheryl Crow called 'Somebody Stand By Me'. The perfect tune to exit with, it leaves you wanting more Faith. If you're really hungry for more, pick-up this album's two smash follow-ups - 'Breathe' and 'Cry'. Both continue taking Faith down a pop road she chartered here, and like this release, they are excellent. Truly the princess of country pop.

The S Club Keep On Movin'
Dec 31 2002
This review is from:
Don't Stop Movin (Audio CD)
Well, it took them long enough it seems. After finally making their crossover with the big ballad 'Never Had A Dream Come True' from their album '7', the group practically vanished from the pop music scene here in the states. However, back at home in Britain, they released four smash singles, two albums, and lost member Paul Cattermole.
Finally clearing up some space in their busy schedule, the Club have put out a brand-new American album, mashed together from their previous two British releases 'Sunshine' and 'Seeing Double'. Other acts have done this sort of thing before, including Robbie Williams, Backstreet Boys, and Steps.
The lead single then, is the title cut 'Don't Stop Movin'', which is perhaps one of the group's biggest singles internationally. This is taken from their third actual album 'Sunshine', which also had the tracks 'You', 'Have You Ever', 'Show Me Your Colours', 'Sunshine', and 'Dance, Dance, Dance'. From that album, the tracks 'You' and 'Have You Ever' were released as singles. The former track is an S Club throwback, pulling at their older tunes like 'Reach' and 'Bring It All Back'. The latter is cut from the very same cloth as their only US hit 'Never Had A Dream'. My personal favorite of the 'Sunshine' recordings is the Rachel Stevens led tune 'Show Me Your Colours' with it's smooth soul feeling and pop sensibility.
Obviously, the next batch of tracks would be from their fourth album then. This album seems to have had a bigger jump into even better pop tunes than before, especially disco flavored pop. So far that album has only had one single released, a 'Don't Stop' copycat tune called 'Alive'. It's an excellent tune. All the tracks from the 'Seeing Double' album are pure pop genius, including 'Whole Lotta Nothin'', 'Do It Till We Drop', 'Gangsta Love', 'Dance', 'The Greatest', 'Who Do You Think You Are?', and 'Straight From The Heart'. All of these tracks are really good.
Now do the S Club have a chance of recapturing Billboard chart success? I don't know, the American chart is fickle, and pretty unwelcome to this pure level of pop, but it'd be nice to see them be more than one-hit wonders here. Especially when they have songs as good as these.

"From Boston To Brooklyn" or "How To Make A Dance Single"
Dec 30 2002
This review is from:
Amanda (Audio CD)
Ah, yet another infectious dance release from the club appreciating Tommy Boy label. The first single by an act called the Brooklyn Queens, it features as the main single for Vic Latino's 80's dance compilation "80's Now!". It's a storming cut, quite fun and catchy, but how much thought was put into it. From how I look at it, there was plenty.
Thought #1 - Hey! DJ Sammy just did a massive chart crossover with a Bryan Adams song from the 80's! Let's do the same thing, with a song by, ummmm, BOSTON! Yeah, Boston, we'll do Boston.
Thought #2 - Daniel Bedingfield just did a big dance crossover single too. I know, why don't we ditch the trance and make an androgynous 2-step remix the main version too!
Thought #3 - Lesbians will stir up some chart scandal. Look at t.A.T.u., they had a dance smash with their forbidden love tune, why not switch the Boston song to something just as exciting.
Thought #4 - That electro sound is really big at the moment too, why don't we stick an electro mix edit on the single to make people think we're down with it, but not so down with it that we're following a fad.
Alright, that WAS a bit harsh, but it's generally true here. It's an awesome tune, great selection of mixes, but all the elements of it have been pulled off before by other artists, be it Russian lesbian lolitas or a guy who recorded an international smash in his bed room. They DID do a good job though, so I can't fault them too much for unoriginality. Fun.

'Caught' Out There
Dec 29 2002
This review is from:
A1 (Audio CD)
Debuting with a collection of seven songs, a1 made a lame attempt at making themselves big here in the United States. The seven tracks, pulled from their three previously issued international albums - 'Here We Come', 'The A List', and 'Make It Good', are pretty much a mixed bag.
Three tracks are solid. I'll give these boys that, they can produce some nice pop tunes. The two opening cuts, 'Caught In The Middle' and 'Make It Good', are both highlights. The former was a single release, but failed to set the charts ablaze. The other track that works well is the album closing 'Same Old Brand New You'. It's boy band pop at it's finest.
The other four tracks are an entirely different story, however. They're dull. Very dull. Bland pop ballads that any act could have sung, quite honestly. That leaves the album with a poor ratio of three to four. Four duds heavily outweigh the three good tunes.
Sadly, this band won't have another chance to break America. The third a1 album flopped quite badly over in Britain, leading to the group's break-up and the loss of their recording deal. To bad, I guess, but if this is all they wanted show us, maybe they didn't deserve to break in over here. Unexciting.

Getting It 'Twisted'
Dec 27 2002
This review is from:
Twisted Angel (Audio CD)
LeAnn Rimes has always been considered a country crossover artist. Her string of smash pop singles include the beautiful 'How Do I Live' and the Britney-esque 'Can't Fight The Moonlight'. This album is LeAnn's genuine pop coming out though. She is a little bit of country and a whole lot of pop.
The album is opened by the first single, an independent ladies pop anthem called 'Life Goes On'. The next single is the sexually charged 'Tic Toc', in which the once innocent starlet pants about the pleasures of the climax. It's hard to believe this is the same girl that crooned beloved country tunes just a few years ago.
Those faint elements of country are present though, especially on the track 'Wound Up', which is pretty much a country tune with pop style production. Other musical flavors are sampled too, a distinctly Britney Spears sounding track called 'Trouble With Goodbye' bounces by quite nicely, and is followed by one of many ballads, .... Other pleasant enough ballads are 'The Safest Place', 'No Way Out', 'Love Is An Army', and 'You Made Me Find Myself'. My favorite ballad though, is the sultry 'Review My Kisses'. The track 'Suddenly' is a nice little pop rock attempt.
She trys to rock and rub the blues on to her title cut, but it's not very successful. It's not an album strong point. Another weaker song is the rather boring 'Sign Of Life', which just moves along to a meaningless finish. A track to skip.
Past the few dodgy album tracks, this is an excellent pop record, and a very accomplished release for Ms. Rimes. It should be pretty interesting where she takes her career after this release.

Durham edge closer to glory
Durham are close to seeing off the notional threat from Nottinghamshire but must still convert their domination into a handful more points at Riverside to confirm a second successive LV= County Championship title.
Nottinghamshire and Somerset remain the two teams who can still, mathematically at least, stop Durham - but the northerners are set to eliminate both over the next two days.
They finally allowed Notts an opportunity to bat on the second afternoon, declaring on 648 for five declared.
Michael Di Venuto failed to add to his overnight 219, going to the first ball this morning from Luke Fletcher. But Shivnarine Chanderpaul (109 not out) and Dale Benkenstein (105) made it four individual hundreds in the innings, in the process sharing a fourth-wicket stand of 203.
Both men hit just eight fours, Benkenstein adding a six too from 178 balls and Chanderpaul staying put for 222.
Notts replied with 65 for two at stumps and know they must better 400 tomorrow to stay standing as one of the two clubs who can keep Durham's celebrations on hold.
Somerset's hopes of disputing the title are in the realms of fantasy but they are handily placed against Lancashire and doing enough to make Durham work a little more yet, despite a career-best 173 for Paul Horton in the visitors' 344 all out at Taunton.
Opener Horton finished with 28 boundaries from 287 balls faced. But his opposite number Marcus Trescothick duly responded in kind with 102 at the top of the order for Somerset - 18 fours and two sixes from 145 balls - in an opening stand of 193 with Arul Suppiah (95). At stumps, Somerset were 266 for three.
Relegation will surely be the only live issue in the final two rounds of matches - and Hampshire are taking their chance against already-doomed Worcestershire to try to ensure they will not be the second team going down.
They could turn 357 for eight into only 383 all out at New Road, where occasional off-spinner Moeen Ali finished with a career-best 4-29.
But bottom club Worcestershire swiftly found themselves in the all-too-familiar position of following on - after being bowled out for just 159, leg-spinner Imran Tahir taking 4-18.
They stumbled to six for three second time round, Dominic Cork taking 3-1, but recovered to 102 for four to at least take the match into its third day.
Sussex cannot breathe easily yet, and have already conceded a first-innings deficit of 48 and counting to Warwickshire at Hove.
The visitors closed on 302 for five, thanks largely to a 210-ball 104 from England batsman Ian Bell which contained 17 fours.
Division Two leaders Kent continued their pursuit of this summer's top spot with a first innings of Durham proportions, thanks to Darren Stevens (208) and Justin Kemp (138 not out) in their 652 for seven declared against bottom club Middlesex at Uxbridge.
Stevens equalled his career-best, having hit 34 fours from 255 balls, and shared a fifth-wicket stand of 228 with Kemp - who finished with 18 fours and a six from 201 deliveries.
Middlesex's batsmen found things less easy and closed on 109 for four.
Second-placed Northamptonshire are fighting a losing battle to stay in touch with Kent but do appear set for a first-innings lead against struggling Surrey at the Brit Oval.
The hosts were 305 for five overnight but could muster only 376 all out. Northants replied with 331 for four by stumps, on the back of hundreds from Niall O'Brien and Riki Wessels.
Opener O'Brien hit 17 fours and a six in his 181-ball 128, while Wessels' more aggressive 109 came at better than a run a ball and featured 15 fours and three sixes.
Glamorgan's match at home to Essex began a day after everyone else's - and after choosing to bat first, they posted 311 all out.
Opener Gareth Rees (122) was the mainstay, collecting 10 fours from 245 balls and defying the constant threat posed by prolific leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, who claimed 7-111.

Intel Should Have Begun Mobile Push Sooner, CEO Says
Intel Corp., the world's largest maker of computer chips, got a late start in developing semiconductors for mobile devices, Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini said at a conference.
"I wish we had started earlier," Otellini said today at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Intel, based in Santa Clara, California, has been trying to win business from handset vendors with its Atom processor, a scaled-down version of its PC chips. It has signed agreements to supply Atom products to Nokia Oyj and LG Electronics Inc. Otellini said smartphones carrying Intel semiconductors will be released next year.
Efforts to develop mobile chips got added boost from Intel's agreement, announced in August, to buy the wireless operations of Infineon Technologies AG for about $1.4 billion. The unit makes chips for mobile devices including Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Samsung Electronics Co.'s Galaxy S and may help Intel lessen its dependence on semiconductors for computers.
Otellini said Intel began working on chips aimed at smartphones four years ago. "I wish I had been smart enough to start it seven years ago because we'd be in a good position today, but I wasn't," he said.
In other remarks, Otellini said the government should offer U.S.-based and foreign companies tax incentives, or tax holidays that would last five to 10 years, to encourage the construction of new factories or the expansion of existing ones.
High U.S. Costs
It costs about $1 billion more to build and equip a semiconductor factory in the U.S. than other countries because of differences in tax and incentive policies.
"This will bring more manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.," he said. "It will employ our workers and stimulate the economy, all at no cost to us."
Otellini also proposed reducing the corporate tax rate to "a level that is equal with that of our global competitors."
Such a change would "reverse the flow of capital and jobs out of this country," he said.
Intel rose 28 cents to $19.15 by 4 p.m. New York time in Nasdaq Stock Market trading. The shares have fallen 6.1 percent this year.
