Customer Reviews - Susan Purnell
Susan joined the staff here at K & L in August 1999. She started off in wine sales but was lucky enough to take on the roll of Spirits Buyer just six month into her job. Spirits is where Susan shines! Single Malt Whisky, Cognac, Armagnac, Bourbon, Rye, America, France, Scotland, anywhere and everything! For those of you her know Susan, she may be physically here in California, but her heart and soul is on the island of Islay in Scotland! When Susan is not at K & L, she loves roaming the hills around La Honda and taking long walks on the beach. She is always in search of cold, foggy weather!
1999 De Meric "Vintage Sous Bois" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 03-25-2009
WHAT! The 1999 De Meric Sous Bois at $35.99, unbelieveable! What I really enjoy about this Champagne, other than the price, is that it is made up of 70% Pinot Noir. The extra boldness from the Pinot grape adds depth and structure that balances out the wood fermentation, making this a winner in my book! I have enjoyed this with a Caesar salad topped with a local Dungeness crab cakes; lovely!
Price: $35.00
Louis Bouillot Cremant de Bourgogne "Perle d'Aurore" Brut Rosé
Review Date: 03-25-2009
Not only our staff, but many of our customers, are blown away by this sparking wine from Bourgogne! It has a great balance of richness and fruit that will please any palate. A winner of a rosé for anyone! Perfect with a baby lettuce salad with fresh herbs, grilled green beans and salmon!
Price: $14.99
2007 Ermacora Friulano
Review Date: 03-25-2009
I simply love wines from Italy that have seen no oak whatsoever. The Ermacora Friulano bursts with mouthwatering acidity and minerals. But this is not a single layered wine. The fruit starts to shine with apricot, apples and pears. Great for the warm weather ahead. Try it with scallops right off the grill, dabbed with a bit of olive oil on a bit of fresh foccacia.
Price: $11.99
2003 Sesta di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 03-06-2009
This is one of my favorite direct Italian imports! I have loved this wine year after year after year! But the 2003, supple, soft and delicious!
Price: $44.99
2004 Bodegas LAN Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 03-05-2009
Aaron and I had this lovely little Rioja this weekend. It was nice and stormy in La Honda and a perfect weekend for brisket with pearl onions, carrots and potatoes! The Lan Reserva was just right with the stew! And at this price, fantastic!!!!!
Price: $15.99
2005 Domaine Des Girasols "Vieilles Vignes" Côtes du Rhône-Villages Rasteau ($18.99)
Review Date: 02-25-2009
I am a big fan of old vine Rasteau and cheese, so I am lucky to live close to the coast. Often I visit Harley Farms in Pescadero. They make the world's best goat cheese. The last time I was there two baby goats were just born! Try this Girasols Rasteau with grilled sourdough, Harley goat cheese in olive oil and just a sprinkle of fresh rosemary. Mmmmmmmm!
Price: $12.99
2007 Mâcon Vergisson, Domaine des Nembrets, Denis Barraud
Review Date: 02-25-2009
There are times when I want to sip on a nice Chardonnay while I am preparing a relaxing Sunday meal. The Macon from Denis Barraud fits the bill. It is rich enough to just sip on but also has a nice bright acidity that will hold up just fine with food. It would make a lovely everyday Macon!
Price: $12.99
2003 La Fortuna Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 02-25-2009
Have you ever wanted to bathe in a wine? This Brunello is so juicy and yummy that I just want to pour it all over myself in hedonistic rapture! Just give it a try and you will want to do the same!
Price: $39.99
Bruno Michel "Blanche" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 02-21-2009
The Bruno Michel Blanche Brut is one of my favorite Champagnes to always have in my home. It is light and fresh and not too acidic and one that everyone can enjoy. Perfect with a nice fresh crab salad or to just to sip on before dinner!
Price: $49.99
2006 Maison Champy Savigny-lès-Beaune "Aux Fourches"
Review Date: 02-21-2009
I have always enjoyed the wines from Maison Champy. There is something special about this 2006 Savigny-Les-Beaune! Maybe it is the low yield of grapes, the warm, deep soil and the fact that it is unfiltered. I find that this is a lovely wine for just $29.99. It is pretty with nice tannin structure and extremely well balance! Give this one a try!
Price: $26.99
Hangar One Vodka Spiced Pear (750ml)
Review Date: 02-14-2009
This is the best pear vodka I have ever tasted! I can't keep it in my house it is so very delicious and smooth. I am going to buy a whole case of it to keep in my wine locker for future enjoyment!
Price: $27.99
2007 Blason Rosato (Rosé)
Review Date: 02-14-2009
What! We are selling this fantastic Rose for only $2.95. This is a beautiful Rosé that goes so well with food! Because this is made with Merlot and Franconia grapes, it will even hold up to a juicy, grilled ribeye steak. Buy it by the case! If not, I will be tempted to buy it all!
Top Value!
Price: $2.95
Franck Bonville "Belles Voyes" Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne
Review Date: 02-13-2009
I simple love Champagne and if I had only on bottle to drink on a lonely island it would be the Franck Bonville Les Belles Voyes. It must be because they ferment and age the Chardonnay juice in old oak casks before bottling. I love that extra richness that the oak gives the wine. I have turned on many a master distiller in Scotland to this fantastic Champagne!
Price: $69.99
2005 Boeger "Walker" El Dorado County Zinfandel
Review Date: 02-13-2009
There is something very special about the Zinfandel made in El Dorado County. Maybe it is the people, always so friendly and willing to have a nice chat with you. Maybe it is the soil - decomposed granite - and the elevation at 2,100 feet.... All I can say, is that after a hard day selling spirits to people all over the world, sometimes a gal just wants a soft, jammy Zinfandel! I usually enjoy Zinfandel just on it own out on my patio enjoying the redwood trees in La Honda.
Price: $12.99
Hacienda de Los Diaz Reposado Tequila 750ml (Ship as 3L)
Review Date: 08-22-2008
I knew that Hacienda de Los Diaz was going to be special right when I took my first whiff. It made me instantly start salivating, to say the least, and that is a very good sign! My nose was filled with lovely, salty agave, green bell pepper and delicate floral notes offset by aromas of fresh cracked black peppercorns. The color was only golden wheat, which told me that they were paying attention to how the tequila was interacting with the white oak casks. Then, I took my first sip…Oh, my goodness. It completely coated my palate and slid down my throat with delicious flavors that blew my mind away! The flavors were a blend of oven-roasted, earthy and rustic agave melting together with the sweet brown sugar and honeycomb. Beautifully balanced, it finished with sumptuous, oily and peppery notes.
Price: $45.99
2007 Gerard Boulay Sancerre Chavignol
Review Date: 08-19-2008
Ok, I know I am the Spirits Buyer but I also love wine. I would drink the Sancerre from Gerard Boulay every day if you would let me! Wonderful to just sip on and even better with food. Also, if you want to lay it down for a few years, no problem!
Price: $21.99
2006 Roessler Cellars Bluejay Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 08-19-2008
I love this wine so much that I took it to Scotland to celebrate one of my favorite Master Distiller's birthday! We had it with a Vietnamese dinner that I create especially for him and his family. It was a slam-dunk. At this price, buy, buy, buy!
Price: $26.99
Essential Spirits Classick Pure Pear Brandy (375ml)
Review Date: 08-19-2008
I love supporting our local distillers. Dave Classick Sr. and Jr. are doing an exceptional job creating unbelievable hand crafted spirits. This Pure Pear Brandy is just that, juicy, fresh pears. Yummy! Thank goodness it is in a 375ml. Because, if it was in a 750ml, I would still drink the whole bottle!

Law School Costs, Student Loan Debt, and Advice for Applicants
Don LeDuc, President and Dean | August 27, 2012
Of late, there has been a considerable amount of discussion about the cost of law school and the high levels of debt accumulated by law school graduates. Because much of it is a product of bias and filled with hyperbole, a reasonable discussion requires getting some of the facts and issues correctly stated.
Law School Debt
The median debt of 2010 public law school graduates was about $75,000, the latest available figure. This combines the debts incurred by both resident and nonresident students. For their three years of attendance as resident students, full-tuition, public school graduates would have paid about $55,546, while their nonresident counterparts would have paid about $91,609. Put into annual figures, the loan amount was $25,000, while the respective tuition costs were $18,515 and $30,536. The highest public school average loan debt for any school was about $117,000.
The median debt for private law school graduates was about $115,000, and their total tuition cost was about $107,448. Put into annual figures, the loan amount was $38,333, and the tuition cost was $35,829. Only four of the 120 private schools reported average loans of over $150,000.
Currently, there are a number of loan repayment alternatives, including the standard repayment of 10 years, the graduated repayment of 10 years at a lower rate and 20 years at a higher rate, and the consolidated repayment with a 30-year fixed rate. A fourth alternative with income-based repayment has just been implemented. All these alternatives permit early principal repayment without penalty, and at least one features a form of loan forgiveness.
Using current loan rates for Direct Stafford loans (6.8%) and an estimate of 7.9% for Grad Plus loans, the approximate monthly repayment rates for the current median public and private school loans are listed below:
Public (Median $75,000)
Private (Median $115,000)
$431/month then $620/month
$662/month then $950/month
$750 month
While these figures are substantial, they show that those who borrow at the median levels are not undertaking unmanageable debt loads. The relatively low default rates reported for the independent private law schools confirm that students are overwhelmingly showing that they can handle the debt burden. No law school comes remotely close to the 25% default rate that is the threshold set by the Department of Education to indicate a problem. For 22 independent law schools, the median default rate was about 1.6%. All but one of these schools is private, so the likely loan amount would be around the private law school median. [Information about university-related law student default rates generally is not available on the Department of Education website.]
These figures cover only law school loans and include students who borrowed nothing, so the averages understate the debt incurred by students who actually borrowed, and they do not include loans incurred during undergraduate education.
Today's students accumulate significant debt, not just for law school but for other graduate programs, as well as for undergraduate education. So, applicants should consider the long-term implications of debt when deciding on whether to seek further graduate education, including law school. And they should make the cost of law school and the possible accumulation of debt a significant factor in their school-selection process.
Tuition, Fees, and Scholarships
In general, tuition and fees at public schools are significantly lower than at private schools, and the effect of that cost on loan totals is apparent. But tuition costs are reduced significantly by scholarships and grants at both public and private schools, reducing the amount of loans necessary to meet the cost of education.
At public schools, the average scholarship amount per recipient was about $9,800, while at private schools the average was $19,700. This would reduce the cost of tuition for public school recipients by slightly less than $30,000 over three years, while private school recipients would see a reduction of just over $59,000. For many scholarship recipients, tuition costs can be reduced by half or more. And a scholarship may make a private school net tuition cost equal to or lower than that at a public school.
Potential law students are not sufficiently cost conscious in selecting a law school, tending to place too much emphasis on perceived prestige and not enough on net costs of attendance. For some law school graduates, prestige does matter, whether that should be the case or not. Accordingly, that factor should not be disregarded, but it should be considered only after a full consideration of cost, which should be the first consideration.
Here is my advice for the typical law school applicant to consider in law school selection:
1. Be realistic about your chances for admission
Start by using the ABA-LSAC Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools to determine your likelihood of admission based upon your LSAT score and undergraduate grade point average. Do not waste time applying to schools that are significantly beyond your profile. While schools may invite applications and state that they consider other factors than these, the reality is that these two far outweigh the other factors. In fact, by applying to schools at which you have no chance of admission, you simply inflate their rankings and waste your time. Schools are rewarded in the rankings for their "exclusivity," largely measured by how many people they do not admit among their applicants. Many highly ranked law schools had declines between 10% and 20% in applications for the fall 2011 class, yet suffered no decline in incoming class size or profile. They can only do this because their applicant pools have considerably more high-profile students than they need to fill their classes and include large numbers of applicants who cannot meet their profile parameters.
2. Comparison shop the cost of tuition and mandatory fees
Do your best to compare the cost of tuition and mandatory fees at each school you are interested in. This is very difficult to do, because the practices among the law schools vary greatly. Once again, the best starting point is the ABA's Official Guide, in which each school's full-time and part-time tuition are reported. These published figures, however, are not perfectly comparable, because the ABA no longer establishes a set reporting standard, such as 13, 14, or 15 credit hours. Also, schools may have "unit" or "block" tuition, meaning that all students within a range pay a set amount, which is good for some students, not so good for others. For instance, schools may charge the same total for a student enrolled for as few as 13 credit hours or as many as 16. Indeed, some schools even lower the minimum to 12 credits, which is below the ABA's definition of full-time enrollment status. Schools may also have different credit hour requirements for graduation, so using 30 hours per year as guidance is not 100% reliable. And mandatory fees vary considerably, particularly at public schools, which often have very large and complicated fees, so make sure you understand how much they might add to the cost of tuition. At this point, however, you should do the best you can to establish an estimated cost of annual tuition and fees of each school you are considering.
Make sure you have a handle on the tuition cost at the time you intend to start law school. The Official Guide is normally at least a full year behind and schools have mixed abilities to get the latest information about tuition, fees, and costs onto their websites. Over the past four years, resident public school tuition has increased 9.5% on average, public nonresident tuition has increased 7% on average, and private school tuition has increased 5% on average. So, if you know a school's tuition for a particular year, you can reasonably estimate tuition for the coming year and the two following years using these percentages, but remember that these increases are compound and will vary from school to school and year to year. Don't forget to see if a school guarantees its tuition rate for the duration of a student's enrollment, but don't forget that a school with annual increases may still be lower overall for the three years.
3. Determine your eligibility for a scholarship at each school
Some schools are relatively straight-forward in describing the criteria, others not so much. You can get general comparative information from the Official Guide. Be sure to check for eligibility limits for scholarship continuation, such as requiring a minimum law school grade point average or class rank. These may actually mean that a significantly reduced number of students will retain their scholarships after the first year or even after the first semester. Don't assume that you will be one of those fortunate enough to meet the continuation criteria, since the success rate varies considerably from school to school. If you are offered a scholarship by a school, make sure you understand both the continuation criteria and the success rate at that school.
4. Estimate a net cost of attendance
You should now be able to compute a reasonably close estimate of the net cost of attendance from the direct costs of tuition and mandatory fees, less scholarships for each school under consideration. You should next rank them in order from low to high cost. My advice is to assume that the lowest cost is your best alternative, absent other factors that convince you that a more expensive choice is better for you. If you can't identify or value why the more expensive school is better for you, it probably isn't and you are paying too much to attend law school by choosing the higher cost alternative. Yes, I believe that as a general proposition, all ABA-approved law schools provide a viable legal education.
5. Confirm the cost of living in each location you are considering
Before turning your attention to other factors, you should consider the cost of living in the area in which each law school is located. Although the individual law schools usually identify cost of attendance factors, these vary significantly, even among law schools located in the same city, so be careful with this factor. Cost of living information is available from numerous objective sources and should be consulted.
6. Estimate the total cost of attendance and determine how much debt you will need to incur to obtain a degree at each school
Once you have calculated the cost for three years (or longer or shorter depending on your planned duration of enrollment), consider how much you can contribute from personal or family resources toward that cost. Then, determine how much you will need to borrow to attend each school. Various models exist that will allow you to calculate your monthly, annual, and total repayment costs, separated into principal and interest. Do not hesitate to seek assistance in doing these calculations, which will help you understand exactly what your future repayment obligations will be. Also, be aware of the observation that too many law students borrow heavily so that they can live like lawyers while they attend law school, only to find that when they graduate their loan repayment burden requires that they live like law students while they practice law.
7. Now consider whatever other factors that are significant to you in light of the known costs of attendance for each school
You should consider the non-financial factors only after you have the cost of attendance in mind. For many applicants, location is the governing factor, normally because the applicant must attend a school within commuting distance. Applicants often consider reputation or prestige in the selection process. Pitfalls abound related to reputation and prestige, so you should be sure that what you read or hear is based on as much objectivity as possible. A school's performance on bar examinations and its placement records are relevant, but you should remember that it is the individual graduates who take the tests and seek the jobs, not the schools themselves. You should not assume that you will automatically pass the bar or get a job simply because you attend a particular school. Nor should you assume that you will not pass the bar or find employment because you attend a school with lower bar passage or employment rates.
If you wish to consider the prestige factor or speculate about bar results or job opportunities, do so with at least a good dose of reality. Unlike the fictional Lake Wobegon, the students at American law schools are not all above average. Aside from personal pride, the prestige of a law school matters little to most of the students that graduate from it. For most graduates, the amount of debt each has upon graduation is a reality that lasts for years and matters a great deal.
My focus here is on the cost of education and its impact on law school debt. If you are concerned about that issue, and you do not have sufficient resources to pay for law school without borrowing, you should seriously consider selecting the lowest cost alternative available.

ALAMEDA, CA -- The Pacific Pinball Museum has launched an online fundraising campaign to finance relocation from its present address here to the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. The museum is a nonprofit organization.
If the museum succeeds in raising the targeted $1.5 million by the end of September, its administrators hope to relocate in 2013 to a space currently occupied by an Exploratorium that is coming to the end of its lease. If the target is not reached by month's end, the window of opportunity for the Fine Arts Center will close and the Pacific Pinball Museum will apply any funds raised to move the museum to an alternative site.
Executive director Michael Schiess said the museum's collection of 90 games on display represent just a fraction of the 1,500 historic games that are in storage. Of these, about 500 are fully restored and ready for public presentation.
Donors to the campaign can receive posters, t-shirts, hats, museum memberships, passes and more as thank-you gifts.
The museum recently hosted the sixth annual edition of Pacific Pinball Expo, which it billed as "the world's largest pinball show." | SEE STORY

[Unified Agenda]
[Page 37814]
Department of Labor (DOL)
(Proposed Rule Stage)
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 30 USC 811; 30 USC 813
CFR Citation: 30 CFR 56; 30 CFR 57; 30 CFR 71
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: MSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos applies to surface (30 CFR part 56) and underground (30 CFR part 57) metal and nonmetal mines and to surface coal mines and surface areas of underground coal mines (30 CFR part 71) and is over 20 years old. MSHA is considering rulemaking to lower the PEL in order to reduce the risk of miners developing asbestos-induced occupational disease. A recent report by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) recommended that MSHA lower its existing permissible exposure limit for asbestos to a more protective level, and address take-home contamination from asbestos. It also recommended that MSHA use Transmission Electron Microscopy to analyze fiber samples that may contain asbestos.
Statement of Need: Current scientific data indicate that the existing asbestos PEL is not protective of miners' health. MSHA's asbestos regulations date to 1967 and are based on the Bureau of Mines (MSHA's predecessor) standard of 5 mppcf (million particles per cubic foot of air). In 1969, the Bureau proposed a 2 mppcf and 12 fibers/ml standard. This standard was promulgated in 1969. In 1970, the Bureau proposed to lower the standard to 5 fibers/ml, which was promulgated in 1974. MSHA issued its current standard of 2 fibers/ml in 1976 for coal mining (41 FR 10223) and 1978 for metal and nonmetal mining (43 FR 54064). During inspections, MSHA routinely takes samples, which are analyzed for compliance with its standard.
Other Federal agencies have addressed this issue by lowering their PEL for asbestos. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, working in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency, enacted a revised asbestos standard in 1994 that lowered the permissible exposure limit to an 8-hour time-weighted average limit of 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air and the excursion limit to 1.0 fiber per cubic centimeter of air (1 f/cc) as averaged over a sampling period of thirty (30) minutes. These lowered limits reflected increased asbestos-related disease risk to asbestos- exposed workers.
Summary of Legal Basis: Promulgation of this regulation is authorized by section 101 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.
Alternatives: The Agency has increased sampling efforts in an attempt to determine current miners' exposure levels to asbestos, including taking samples at all existing vermiculite, taconite, talc, and other mines to determine whether asbestos is present and at what levels. In early 2000, MSHA began an intensive sampling effort at operations with potential asbestos exposure. These efforts continue. While sampling, MSHA staff discussed with miners and mine operators the potential hazards of asbestos and the types of preventive measures that could be implemented to reduce exposures. The course of action MSHA takes in addressing asbestos hazards to miners will, in part, be based on these sampling results.
Anticipated Cost and Benefits: MSHA will develop a preliminary regulatory economic analysis to accompany any proposed rule that may be developed.
Risks: There is concern that miners could be exposed to the hazards of asbestos during mine operations where the ore body contains asbestos. There is also potential for exposure at facilities in which installed asbestos-containing material is present. Overexposure to asbestos causes asbestosis, mesothelioma, and other forms of cancers.

Naked Burglars Steal 60 Burgers From Beach Eatery
(NEWSER) – "Dumb, dumber, and dumbest." That's how a waitress at Doc's Beach House in Bonita Beach, Fla., describes the three guys who broke in—clad only in their skivvies—in the wee hours Sunday and five minutes later made off with 60 hamburgers, 3 pounds of bacon, three red peppers, and, uh, a paddleboard. The beauty? They did it all, including divesting themselves of their underwear once inside, in front of security cameras; at one point they even spotted a camera and attempted to cover their naughty bits, according to South Florida's News-Press. What they didn't do: Go anywhere near the cash register, though WFLA.com notes they might have swiped some shrimp, too.

How undisturbed were you during labour?
There is an interesting article on the main Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond site about Intermittent Auscultation - this refers to monitoring the baby's heart rate during labour intermittently. This article discusses how some of the guidelines about monitoring the baby during labour can interrupt the mum and bring her out of that deep, primal state she needs to be in during labour (switching off the conscious side of her brain) to allow the contractions to occur as smoothly and efficiently as possible. At its worse, intermittent monitoring during labour could lead to the stalling of labour or a woman being unable to cope (when she previously has been) and these raise the risk of medical interventions.
Famous proponents of natural childbirth have long since been highlighting the importance of a woman feeling safe, comfortable and undisturbed in labour. Asking a woman questions during labour, creating background noise, talking, putting the lights on, touching her (with hands or equipment) can bring a woman out of her deep state of relaxation and take her focus away from being completely on her body and her baby.
Obviously there will be times where medical issues indicate that a woman must have some degree of monitoring or disturbance during her labour. However, for the majority of women labour can be natural and free of interventions. Are we giving these women a chance to have undisturbed labours or are we changing their course by intermittent auscultation?
How undisturbed were you during your labour? Did the monitoring of your baby interrupt your ability to breathe through the contractions or did you find it reassuring? Did background noises or voices interrupt the state you were in and how did this affect you?
Personally speaking, I have found it much easier to allow my body to relax when a contraction comes (and not tense up and resist it) when I am in the quiet and I am not touched. I have found a birthing pool useful to create a private space for me; in which I can 'go within myself' and switch off the outside world. Other factors which have helped me to have as undisturbed a labour as possible has been having a doula and choosing midwife-led care.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on this.

My first baby was born with an empty maternity ward so I had at least three midwives around and they wouldn't stop talking and bossing me around!
With my second I was on a midwife caseload group, so I had continuity of care in a birth centre. It was fantastic because I had a waterbirth in a dark room, my midwife and husband didn't talk and I could just do my thing. My midwife did occasionally use a doppler but that didn't bother me. I had one internal exam before I got in the bath and that was it.

Thank you for sharing your experiences Susannah. They certainly sound like two quite different births. I think being undisturbed in labour can really be key to having a smooth labour. Internal examinations can certainly interrupt the flow of labour too.
Warm wishes,

Yes, now I know that I can refuse anything, I plan to have no internals at all next birth! Although with my last labour being 2.5 hours, there may not be a chance anyway.

Limbaugh Walks Back Comments About Fox Censorship
After claiming that Fox News prevented him from discussing immigration during a recent interview, radio host Rush Limbaugh walked back his comments, insisting that there is no Fox News policy in place that censors him from talking about immigration.
Limbaugh appeared on the July 2 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends for an interview on political unrest in Egypt. Later that day, on The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh claimed [1] a Fox producer refused to let him discuss immigration and its effect on the GOP. Limbaugh said at the time that Fox was "not interested in bringing this subject up," going on to say that it was "quite telling."
On the July 9 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh walked back his comments, emphasizing that he and Fox News were "on the same team [2]," later saying that "this whole drummed-up thing between Fox and me" is "all B.S.":

GSA's Pacific Rim Region Awards $25 Billion ANSWER Contract for IT Services
January 4, 1999
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The General Service Administration has awarded its 10-year, $25 billion ANSWER contract to 10 prime contractors. The Pacific Rim Region of GSA's Federal Technology Service made the award, which covers the gamut of information technology services for all Federal government agencies worldwide, to the following companies:
* Anteon Corporation, Fairfax, VA;
* Booz-Allen and Hamilton Inc., McLean, VA;
* Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Falls Church, VA;
* Dyncorp, Fairfax, VA;
* EER Systems, (Large, Woman Owned), Seabrook, MD;
* Information Systems Support (ISS), Inc. (SDB, 8(a), Bethesda, MD;
* Information Technology Services (ITS) Corp., (Small Business), Ventura, CA;
* Litton/PRC, Arlington, VA;
* Logicon, Inc., Falls Church, VA; and
* Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), San Diego, CA.
ANSWER is an acronym for Applications 'n Support for Widely-diverse End User Requirements. The contract has a ceiling value of $25 billion over a ten-year award period -- two base years and eight one-year options. It is a multiple-award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (MA/IDIQ) contract that covers a very wide range of information technology services including systems analysis, requirements definition, system design, software maintenance, facilities management support services, scientific and engineering applications, network support services, and systems installation and integration. ANSWER has been designed to replace many of the contracts that have supported the Federal Information Systems Support Program. The contract is available to all Federal government agencies and Department of Defense components worldwide.
ANSWER is the first contract awarded under FTS' new IT Solutions Concept of Operations, which was designed to take advantage of economies of scale, leverage existing FTS strengths and expertise, improve communications and coordination among FTS operating components, and maximize the utility of limited resources. Under the new FTS concept, the IT Solutions business line will use individual centers of expertise -- Solutions Development Centers (SDCs) and Client Support Centers (CSCs). SDCs will develop and administer new "IT Solutions" in the form of government-wide and client-specific contracts; and CSCs will provide direct client interface and support by actually delivering the solutions to FTS client agencies. Under this new concept, FTS will issue fewer government-wide contracts from fewer locations and organizations.
"This new concept of operations will go a long way towards ensuring that companies that win FTS contracts will get business under those contracts," said Dennis Fischer, Commissioner of FTS. "Each new contract will fit into an overall acquisition plan and product development strategy."
"We are extremely pleased to be the first SDC to develop and award a major IT contract," said Bob Johnston, FTS Assistant Regional Administrator for the Pacific Rim. "Our focus is on providing our clients stability and continuity in the face of today's highly volatile and rapidly changing technological environment. ANSWER does that by providing services and support for almost every conceivable IT requirement and by providing for nearly continuous technological refreshment when that is necessary. We are also committed to providing special consideration to small businesses and small and disadvantaged businesses through ANSWER."
"We have already developed a backlog of clients committed to using the new contract," said Cathy Paris, Director of IT Solutions for GSA's Pacific Rim. "We expect to satisfy the requirements of several existing clients including; Los Angeles Air Force Base, Army Corps of Engineers, and Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach."
"All FTS regions and client support centers including the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) will use ANSWER to support clients. This contract is a very important part of the suite of specialized acquisition vehicles we will use to support our clients' needs." said Charles Self, Assistant Commissioner for the Office of IT Solutions within FTS. "ANSWER is an outstanding example of regional and central office cooperation within FTS."

ST. CLOUD, MN -- Steve Ehlen, majority owner of Triple Crown Sweepstakes here, said he will sue the state following an Aug. 9 raid of his establishment. Ehlen's store, also known as Minnesota Sweeps, is believed to be the state's first, and so far only, sweepstakes videogame venue.
Local police joined officers from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division to execute a search warrant at the location two weeks after it opened. Police seized sweepstakes machines, which they allege are illegal gambling devices.
Several days before he opened for business, Ehlen had been warned that the state considers sweepstakes videogames to be illegal, officials said. The case is being referred to the Stearns County Attorney for possible criminal charges. | SEE STATEMENT
Prior to the raid, Ehlen told local press outlets that he'd done is his legal homework that that Triple Crown was a legal operation. He also said that 5% of revenues are donated to the Omaha, Nebraska based charity Kids Against Hunger, a claim verified by The St. Cloud Times newspaper.
Ehlen also told the paper that he would welcome a raid and that if one came, he would respond with "a heck of a lawsuit."
The paper said that Triple Crown's parent firm is based in Ft. Worth, TX, and uses software supplied by Hest Technologies, another Texas-based sweepstakes game manufacturer headquartered in Haltom City.
Minnesota recently legalized electronic pull-tabs; that market is expected to launch later this year or next year. | SEE STORY

SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge in San Francisco on May 1 sentenced Samuel "Mouli" Cohen to 22 years in prison. Prosecutors in the case, who described Cohen as a "congenital liar and serial fraudster," argued for the lengthy prison term. He was handed what is reported to be one of harshest sentences in a white-collar criminal case.
Cohen was arrested in August 2011 and pled innocent to all charges. In November, he was convicted of soliciting investments in his digital-jukebox company by lying about its success. The jury found that Cohen lied when he claimed that Ecast Inc., the company he founded in 1999, was on the verge of being acquired by Microsoft in a stock swap deal. Cohen left the company in 2002. Unrelated to Cohen's case, Ecast shut down its network operations on March 1, 2012.
Prosecutors say Cohen's fraud brought about the collapse of the Vanguard Public Foundation, a nonprofit tied to actors Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte. The foundation put up $30 million between 2002 and 2008 to purchase shares in Ecast Inc., the jukebox company he founded in 1999.
At this week's sentencing, Judge Charles Breyer set a Thursday hearing to consider fines against Cohen that could total $60 million.

- About Plattsburgh
By Michelle Marasch Ouellette
November 2013
It was a romance made at SUNY Plattsburgh, sealed at Homecoming.
He was a public relations major from Palmyra, N.Y.; she, a public relations and political science double major from China. They met through a roommate and friend.
She was "awkward and cute," Tim Maggio '13 said. "She caught my eye. I began to talk and flirt with her every now and then."
"I did not even know he liked me, until our friends pointed it out to me," Zi Wang said.
Then, one night, they went to a movie.
"Everyone left, and it was just the two of us," Maggio said. "As I was about to leave, I wrote on her white board, 'Will you go on a date with me?' and she wrote, 'Yes.' Since that day we've been dating."
They continued to date even after Maggio graduated and moved to West Virginia to take a job as a residence hall director and begin work on a graduate degree at Shepherd University.
Wang planned to move south to join Maggio after her December graduation, but, first, they wanted to get married.
"We figured this is the place where we met and fell in love, so we should make it official in the same place," Maggio said.
On Thursday before Homecoming, Maggio called Bill Laundry, vice president emeritus of student affairs, and asked him if he would officiate. Laundry agreed.
To Maggio, Laundry's officiating was symbolic.
Both Maggio and Wang had been heavily involved with student affairs under Laundry's leadership. Furthermore, Maggio plans to go into the field himself after earning his advanced degree in college student development and administration.
"It was meaningful for me to see that a vice president of student affairs — the profession I am entering — marries students that he works for," Maggio said. "It just brings caring for students to another level."
The bride and groom exchanged vows on the steps of Hawkins Hall, just in time to watch the tug of war over the pond as Plattsburgh's newest married couple.

this question is quite stupid I'm sure, but here it is
I have already installed BT4 R1 onto my hard disk, and I want to install it onto my USB, drive no encryption.
I noticed the tutorial had me installing it via USB start up disk, if its already installed on my HD I don't need to make another start up disk do I? I can just install it on the USB drive via install.sh?

PinstripesPlus.com: Let's start off with Ravel Santana because he was supposed to be the big guy in your lineup this year. He didn't have a very good season overall, but did you like the adjustments he made over the course of the year?
Justin Pope: I did, especially towards the end of the season he made huge strides, huge adjustments. It was his first full season back from the ankle injury which, I didn't see the injury when it happened but I heard it was really gruesome and really, really severe. That type of injury I understand a lot of people don't come back from and here he is in his first season back basically playing every single day. We knew it would bother him and that it was a big-time adjustment for him, playing through that pain or uncomfortable feeling. I'm sure he never really got comfortable in the batter's box or in the outfield with his running and stuff. To his credit he worked really hard. I know it was only short-season in Staten Island but he did play in all of Extended [Spring Training] so in essence he really did get a full season in of ABs and playing every single day. I think he did a good job of understanding what his body is now. He may not get back to what he was before his injury, but he still has the potential to be an unbelievable player. With that being said, it's also his first time playing under the lights, playing away from Tampa, getting used to being in the clubhouse with older guys, 21-22 year old college seniors, and things like that. Again, I was really satisfied with the adjustments he made towards the end of the season.
PinstripesPlus.com: I specifically want to ask about his eyes because it seemed like they were getting checked a lot during the course of the season. Did he ever wind up getting glasses?
Pope: He did. He ended up getting contacts first. I don't wear contacts or glasses so I don't know what that feeling is like, but I guess when he first got his contacts he couldn't keep them in for an extended period of time. So we tried to have a plan for him where he would wear them for batting practice, take them out after batting practice and let his eyes rest, and then put them back in for the game. I guess they weren't helping though so then we got him glasses but then something happened and he went back to the contacts.
PinstripesPlus.com: Was it to help him see better at night because I know that was the case with Custodio?
Pope: Yeah and we saw what happened with Custodio once he started wearing the glasses. I think especially in the minor league ballparks, the lighting isn't as good and it's tougher to pick up the ball, especially hitting. It's tougher to pick up the spin and the depth of the pitch. If you can't see the spin of the ball, you're screwed as the hitter. You see a fastball and think it's a breaking ball you've got no chance. We've got to help him anyway we can because he's got a chance to be a great player. He's got a lot of tools; he can hit for power, he can hit for average, but he can't do any of that stuff if he's not seeing the ball.
PinstripesPlus.com: You mentioned player under the lights for these International guys. Some critics poo-poo that. How realistic is that adjustment and how hard is it to make that adjustment for the first time?
Pope: I think it's an adjustment because most of these guys have played a couple of years in the Dominican and then they played in the Gulf Coast League, and were there for a year or two. Basically every game is a day game. They're on the same schedule playing everyday at one o'clock, waking up at 7 or 8 in the morning, get their practice in, come in for lunch, and then play their game, and then be able to get to bed early. They have a schedule that they basically have to stick to. Now in Staten Island they have a lot more freedom. Playing under the lights and getting used to that is one adjustment, but getting used to how to take care of your body and getting the rest that you need is another, eating the right food, working out the proper amount of time in the right way. I think all of that is a correlation that goes into it. I don't think it's just playing under the lights but when you put all of that into the basket I think it goes into it. And two, these guys are still young players and they're going up against college pitchers, seniors even who have a good idea how to pitch. They'll pitch backwards. Instead of a fastball they'd see down in the DSL or the GCL, they'll get a breaking ball or a changeup. Again, you could see the improvements those guys made towards the end of the season. They were making adjustments getting into hitter's counts and seeing offspeed pitches, they were ready for it.
PinstripesPlus.com: I mentioned Custodio. He got off to the slow start, got the glasses, and then seemed to make the adjustment. Just how good could this guy be down the road?
Pope: I think he can be pretty good. I mean he runs like the wind which is a tool you can not teach. It's just such an enjoyable experience to watch him run. If he can figure out what he did in the second half of the season, if he can continue do that, he's going to be a very good player for a long time. When you look at him he looks like a smaller guy but when you're up close to him and see him in the gym he's a lot stronger than you'd think. I think his body is going to hold and do a lot more than people think. He got his glasses, he started hitting the ball better. Even his outs, the contact was better. He had better quality ABs. He started gaining confidence, he started playing better in the field, he started being more talkative, he started being more of a leader -- I think that's the biggest thing with him, talking more, because the guys look up to him even though he's reserved and quiet. I think if he can start coming out of his shell and being a leader on the field, and picking guys up, that's going to carry him a long way.
PinstripesPlus.com: Let's talk about Peter O'Brien. The first two things everybody says when watching him play is big-time power, big-time arm strength. He struck out a bit in Staten Island and doesn't seem to have that consistent approach yet. Do you think he'll develop that approach to become a better overall hitter to make better use of that special power?
Pope: I do, I really do because there was a period of time during the season that every time he walked up to the plate you knew that he was going to do something special and he had an opportunity to hit the ball a long way or really hard. I do believe that he will get a routine down and have an idea of what he wants to do when he goes up to the plate. The biggest thing with Peter O'Brien is he gets himself out. I can not tell you how many times I was down there at third base and he was just swinging at everything. It's like he made up his mind before the pitcher ever released the ball. I think if he learns to trust himself and trust his hands -- I mean he's got plenty of bat speed, he's got plenty of smarts to be a good hitter in the box and have an idea of what to do -- he's going to be good. He's just got to trust himself because most of the time he was getting himself out swinging at fastballs over his head or breaking balls in the dirt, and these were in counts where he was ahead. Maybe he was 2-0 and the next thing you'd know it would be 2-2, and then it's obviously a lot tougher to hit with two strikes. He's just got to be more patient...more patient and trust himself.
PinstripesPlus.com: You're a former pitcher. A lot of folks have made a lot of O'Brien's raw catching abilities. Did you see some progress from him this season that gives you hope that he can stick at catcher long-term?
Pope: I did. I think with him he just needs more reps back there to get more comfortable. I'm not exactly sure how much he caught in college but there were times back there where he was just uncomfortable and there were times where you were like 'man, he looks really, really good back there'. He's so big that he just has to get a feel for what he likes to do back there. A lot of times we'd watch video of Matt Wieters from the Orioles because he's 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5, the same type of body as O'Brien. We'd watch video of him and see what he would do behind the dish so now he's got to figure out what would be best for him and do what he can to be consistent instead of one day doing something that he feels is good and the next day something Matt Wieters does. He just needs to stick with what he feels is comfortable and get repetitions behind the dish. He did make improvements in Instructional League with his catching setup behind the dish and widening up just a bit with his feet to feel more comfortable. He's got a great arm. Repetition is going to help him feel more comfortable back there and repetition with game calling too. These college catchers, the head coaches or pitching coaches call the pitches from the dugout so they're never really thinking back there. He's got to have a better idea of how to call a game and that's just going to take repetition, and he did get better as the season went on. He learned about pitches, he talked to pitchers in between innings, in between starts, during starts, go over scouting reports, talk to relievers about their out-pitch, etc. You can learn a lot just from watching the game.
PinstripesPlus.com: Matt Duran had an awful start to the year and then did a complete 180 degree turnaround at the end of the season. In my opinion he seemed to be pulling the ball too much early in the year. Tell me what you thought. What adjustment did he make to be so much better at the end of the year?
Pope: Yeah he made huge improvements, huge strides towards the end of the season. He started off extremely slow and that's going to happen in pro ball. Matt's so young and he probably never struggled like that ever before in his life so everyday he came to the ballpark he kept pressing more and more, and more, and more. He wanted to do better every single day. Each game that kept getting tallied up without a hit he just put that much more pressure on himself. From what I saw he was putting way too much pressure on himself. He wasn't really having fun playing. He was trying to get a hit every at-bat, which everybody is but I think he was putting so much pressure on himself. Then he'd go into the field and want to make every single play and when he didn't make a play he was so hard on himself. Then he'd come in the next day and work his tail off every single day. And sometimes less is more. [Hitting coach] Ty Hawkins and myself would sit him down and be like 'listen, sometimes take a step back and give your mind a rest'. Sometimes that's better than cranking at it and cranking at it. He did that, started to get into a better routine, a better plan, he started to relax and have fun, and then a couple of hits, a couple of bloopers went his way here and there, and the next thing you know he's smoking the ball. And then he starts getting confident and that confidence goes a long ways. We also have to look at Matt Duran's age, an 18-year old kid basically right out of high school, and again playing in the Penn League which I think is a tough league for young hitters because you're facing older pitchers.
PinstripesPlus.com: It's quite apparent to me that Matt Snyder can flat-out hit. But the thing is he's a first baseman and didn't hit for a lot of power this year in Staten Island. Do you see power developing in his game because it seems that is really the only thing lacking in his game?
Pope: I do, I think he can develop power because you see it in batting practice. When you watch him in BP the ball comes off of his bat really well. He's tall and lanky, and I think once he figures some things out mechanically I think it's going to free his hands up a bit more and start creating some back-spin, and I think that's going to help him with his power. He's a great kid, another one that works his tail off, he comes from a baseball family, so he just eats it up playing baseball everyday. He loves it. He was a treat to have on the team, that's for sure. He's a good student of the game. He watches the game, he watches pitchers and what they do, he remembers pitches from at-bat to at-bat. Say we play Brooklyn one game and he faces a couple of pitchers...a month later he remembers what that pitcher threw him and how he got him out. He's a student of the game so I think that's going to help him out also.
PinstripesPlus.com: Snyder's wrist injury helped Greg Bird get up there those last couple of weeks and Bird was great, not only in Staten Island but in my opinion he was awesome at Instructs. Just how good could Bird be?
Pope: You want to talk about somebody who can hit, that kid is going to hit! He's a great kid. He did a fantastic job transforming to first base because he was a catcher. He was in the middle of transitioning positions and still hit like that, which is really good. There's not too many young players, or even older players for that matter, that can make that transition from one position to another and get better offensively. He's another student of the game; loves to watch the game, loves to pick your brain, he remembers what pitchers do to him, and he loves to play everyday.
PinstripesPlus.com: Taylor Dugas is another kid who can really rake but he's a smaller guy without much power and he's not exactly fast either so how do you see him fitting into the organization long-term?
Pope: Yeah, he's just going to have to keep finding a way to get on base which he did a great job of this year. He's going to have to to do everything right. I had to do that too when I played, I had to do everything right and be fundamentally sound. He's going to have to keep doing that his whole life, to do the little things right. He's not going to be able to make too many mistakes, but I definitely think he's smart enough where he's able to do that. He's going to be interesting as he gets older if he can pick up some speed running. Offensively he can swing it. He's got a great eye and he's got sneaky pop. Sometimes he'll run into a ball and you'll be like 'dang, where did that come from?', so he's a guy you'd love to have on your team because he's so scrappy, he's a great leader, and he's a catalyst at the top of the lineup because he can get on base.
PinstripesPlus.com: Saxon Butler hit a lot of home runs for you this past season. There have been a number of guys over the years who have hit quite a few home runs in Staten Island and it never translated to the higher levels. Why is Saxon Butler going to be different?
Pope: Good question. He's a hitter. He never lets anything bother him, it's unbelievable. He comes in, strikes out in two at-bats in a row and completely forgets about it, and the next thing you know he's 1-3 with a bomb. He's another student of the game. It seems these college hitters we got this year are a bit more advanced for their age and have a real good idea of what to do when they go up to the plate. They have a great plan of what they want to do and these guys know what they can and can not do. I think that's why Saxon Butler will be able to succeed down the road, because he knows what he can do and what he can't do. I don't know how many times this year I saw him on the first pitch trying to hit the ball into the water [over the right field fence] and pull it foul. The next pitch he would come out of his shoes and completely miss it. He's 0-2 and the next pitch he hits a line drive off of the left field wall. You don't see too many guys who can make adjustments like that. He makes adjustments at-bat to at-bat but he also makes adjustments pitch to pitch. I think that's definitely something that's going to be able to help him down the road.
PinstripesPlus.com: Of the hitters I haven't mentioned yet -- Fu-Lin Kuo, Daniel Lopez, Isaias Tejeda, Jose Rosario -- these guys didn't exactly have great offensive seasons this year. Of the guys I just listed, which one is the best candidate in your opinion to have a bounce-back season next year?
Pope: To be honest with you, and I'm not saying this to be politically correct, I think it could be anyone one of them because they all have the track records that they can hit and they all made adjustments as the season went on. It may not show in their stats but watching them coming in everyday and working, and by the end of the season each one of those guys had an idea of what they needed to do to get better, what they can and can't do, and they started to get better approaches at the plate as the season went on. I honestly believe each one of those guys can come back next year wherever they are and have great offensive years. I think the years that you struggle the most are the years you find out the most about yourself. If you go every year hitting .300 and have great years, I feel like you don't learn anything about yourself. But the years that you have to come to the ballpark everyday and grind it out, and figure out what the heck do I need to do to get better, those are the years that you learn about yourself. Those are the years that you learn what you have to do to get better, to stop whatever so called slump is going on. I think these guys had a great learning year and it's going to help these guys get better. I told these guys 'some of you guys are going to look back at this year and realized how much you learned'.
PinstripesPlus.com: Of the position prospects at Instructs down in Tampa this year -- I know you were only there for a week -- but which one stood out the most for you?
Pope: I would say Greg Bird. I remember one at-bat he was facing Jose Ramirez who was throwing 95-97 mph with a really good slider. Ramirez gets him 0-2 with slider, slider, then he comes inside with a 97 mph fastball and Bird just turns on it for a base hit to right field. Not too many people can do that.
PinstripesPlus.com: Let me ask you about the pitchers. I'm not going to get to all of them but I wanted to ask about Gabe Encinas because for me his numbers lie. His numbers were pretty dreadful but his stuff was phenomenal later in the year and especially at Instructs.
Pope: His stuff in Instructional League was outstanding. I think the difference in Instructional League and during the season is during Instructs he was locating his fastball down in the zone and his breaking ball was better whereas during the season he was leaving his fastball up. I don't care how good your breaking ball is or how good your changeup is, if you leave your fastball up you're going to get hit, I don't care what league you're in. With him he just needs to be able to locate his fastball down low because he has a great downward plane angle to his fastball with his arm slot. If he can just keep his fastball down in the zone and be able to locate it better, he's going to be outstanding. If you look at his walk to strikeout ratio -- I don't have the numbers in front of me -- it wasn't very good. He was always pitching behind guys and when you pitch behind guys you have to throw your fastball, and then if you have to throw your fastball and guys know what's coming, and then you leave it up, it's tough to get guys out at any level. The key for him is locating his fastball down in the zone and he'll be a good one. His stuff is unbelievable. He's got an electric arm with great stuff.
PinstripesPlus.com: Evan Rutckyj has great stuff too. You're a former pitcher -- is the big thing for him limiting the walks because it seems like the pitches are there?
Pope: Definitely, I feel like that was half of our battle this year with our staff. I felt like every time I looked up at the scoreboard it was 3-0 or 3-1 [on opposing batters], and man it is so tough when you are behind hitters. There's a reason why hitters are in pro ball, it's because they can hit. If you can't pitch ahead of guys it's going to be tough to be successful. I don't care if you're in the big leagues or if you're in the GCL, you have to be able to pitch ahead of hitters.
PinstripesPlus.com: Taylor Morton was dreadful this year in Staten Island but yet I've seen him be quite dominant at times, including during Spring Training earlier this year. Are you expecting a big bounce-back season from him and why?
Pope: I never saw him pitch before Extended [Spring Training] but I heard the same thing. Guys in Spring Training would come back [from away games] and be like 'he was lights out', that he was unbelievable. I can't speak for Taylor but I don't know if he got bummed out that he didn't break camp with Charleston and then ended up going to Extended, and [maybe] he let that get to him. I don't know if that's true and I don't want to speak for him, but he did get shut down in Extended and we also shut him down during the season. So I don't know if his arm was barking on him, but his stuff wasn't the sharpest. It led me to believe something was going on with his arm.
PinstripesPlus.com: I know you only got a couple of looks at him but I wanted to ask you about Angel Rincon because I was getting text messages and emails from scouts and rival team officials when he was pitching in the Gulf Coast League asking me who this guy was. What did you like? What do you think he needs to work on?
Pope: Great arm, electric stuff. His first start he was lights out. I don't know the exact velos but it was around mid-90s with a really good slider. He was just going right after hitters, locating his fastball, pitching off of his fastball, and then in his next outing I don't know if he was being timid or what but his location wasn't as good. He was leaving his slider up and his fastball up. The tempo wasn't the same as his first outing. I think if he continues to attack hitters and go right after guys, locate his fastball and pitch off of his fastball, he's going to be very successful because he has a great fastball and an unbelievable slider with great depth, and a good changeup to go with it. He has three quality pitches. You don't see too many young pitchers with three quality pitches. He's a great kid with a great upside.
PinstripesPlus.com: I'm going to test your memory a bit asking about Corey Black since he didn't pitch for you long in Staten Island. Everybody knows he can light up the radar gun. Other than that though, why do you think he's going to be a successful pitcher long-term?
Pope: Obviously his fastball is on the plus-plus side, but there's two other reasons: one, he's going to have to locate better. Obviously as the higher you go that's what you have to do, I don't care what kind of stuff you have. You have to be able to locate your fastball and I think he's going to be able to do that. He has a second gear. He'd be cruising along and the next thing you know he'd get into trouble, and you could see him dig down a little deeper and get into that second gear, maybe throw a little harder when he needed to. He could throw balls by guys and elevate really well. He's got a great breaking ball and a really good changeup. He has three quality pitches, three plus pitches, with a great idea how to pitch. He's not out there just throwing as hard as he can, he's out there pitching and using his head.
PinstripesPlus.com: Of the pitchers I haven't mentioned, is there a guy who is a 'sleeper' in that group as a guy we should keep an eye on?
Pope: I could see James Pazos doing that because he's a lefty and gosh, a left-handed pitcher in baseball is a huge commodity. There would be times where he'd show sheer dominance. I don't know his exact velocity range, maybe 92-93 mph and touching 94 mph, and at times he'd show a deadly, deadly slider. If he can learn how to get lefties out on a consistent basis and dominate them, he could be a 'sleeper'. I wouldn't be surprised. He's a bulldog too. He wants the ball all of the time. It's nice to see that in the bullpen.
PinstripesPlus.com: Of the pitchers down at Instructs in Tampa who stood out for you?
Pope: Obviously our first round pick [Ty Hensley], he has a great arm. Jose Ramirez too, he's got a great arm. [Mark] Montgomery, I had never seen him throw before. He was unbelievable. I was really impressed by him. Encinas was really good too, really good.

Tased and beaten for riding a bicycle

Bike lawyer Bob Mionske's latest column on the rights of cyclists
has been making the rounds
. It's a long article but worth reading: Tony and Ryan were heading home from a long road ride when Lawrence County, Ohio Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife reportedly began harassing the cyclists and got all rambo on the cyclists. When local police arrived, they tased Tony repeatedly even after he was down on the ground. The 16 year old kid was just standing by calling his mother on his cell phone when a police officer knocked the phone out of the kid's hand and knocked him face first into the pavement before cuffing him.
The cyclists were arrested and jailed and charged with various trumped up charges that ended up dismissed by the court because, it turns out, the cyclists did nothing illegal. The court correctly recognized that the cyclists have a right to the road and, because the deputy's order for them to pull off the road was itself unlawful, there was no duty for the cyclists to obey that unlawful order.
Mionske concludes his article with this statement: "For most of us, I suspect it's easier to just quietly comply with a law enforcement officer's misguided attempts to enforce laws that don't exist. Sure, we know the officer is wrong, but do we really want to go to jail to make that point, instead of wherever it is we happen to be going at that moment? The problem is,
if everybody acquiesces to a violation of our rights, do we still have the right?
I would argue that unless the right is exercised, it doesn't exist. Therefore, when a law enforcement officer is enforcing laws that don't exist, it is incumbent upon us to stand up for our rights.
That's a pretty bold statement, and to be honest I'm not sure I'd be the one standing up in that kind of situation. How about you?
This reminds me of Stephan Orsak, who was tased and arrested as
he rode his bicycle out of the Minneapolis airport
. Unlike Tony and Ryan, Orsak was charged, tried and convicted of "Failure to comply with a lawful order," when, in fact, the police order for Orsak to ride his bike against traffic was unlawful and dangerous.

IMPORTANT: Please post comments for this article at the new
version of this page.
So, you can get convicted for doing something NOT illegal. That, and being tazed, strike me as pretty good reasons to roll over, no matter how unfair the situation is. Like that old public service spot: "You could be right. Dead right."

Yesterday, two bike riding police officers were coming towards me as I was on my bike also. One was riding on the wrong side of the road while the other was weaving back and forth across the center line. It was rush hour and I rode right between them. Is cycling just a form of fun for these guys or do they have no appreciation of what is right and wrong when on a bike?
Education of law enforcement officers, the front line of respect and STR, is greatly needed. Ugly story and unfortunately an indication of what many cyclists may be up against. The call to support your rights takes me back to the 60s.

This will sound paranoid, but I usually ride with my camera on and around my neck. I do it to take pictures as I see them arise, but I have also known, that in a situation like this, I would hit video record in a heartbeat. I tend toward the fight for your rights side of things, so video is a good tool (that cop in NYC comes to mind)

Bottom line. You won't win the argument then and there, right or wrong, if you have a cop with a John Wayne attitude. How bad do you want your day ruined in lieu of saving the argument later with the dept's Internal Affairs when you can pick the time? Don't judge all cops the same.
Sort of like Curtis's comment about dead right.
