Stewart Mandel covers college football for SI.com and he compiled this list of who he considers to be the top 10 coaches in FBS headed into this season. The Big 12 had four make the cut, more than any other conference.
Here's what Mandel wrote about the four Big 12 coaches on his top 10 list.
No. 4, Gary Patterson, TCU: Here's what I wrote about Patterson in 2007: "Does anyone get less credit for running a consistently successful program than this guy?" And that was before two BCS bids, an undefeated 2010 campaign and an impressive transition to the Big 12. While the Horned Frogs still have plenty to prove following a 7-6 debut in their new league, Patterson has long since demonstrated that he's one of the top defensive minds the sport has seen over the past decade.
No. 5, Bill Snyder, Kansas State: I know I said this list isn't based on career achievement, but it's hard not to bring up Snyder's '90s miracle work in Manhattan - particularly now that he has engineered a second surprising turnaround. The Wildcats, 39-45 from 2004-10 (three of those seasons under Ron Prince), went a combined 21-5 in Snyder's third and fourth years back at the helm, including capturing last year's Big 12 title. There's no magic formula or trademark strategy at Kansas State. Snyder simply wins.
No. 8, Bob Stoops, Oklahoma: This ranking may seem a bit low for a guy who has won seven Big 12 titles and compiled an .801 winning percentage, but the Sooners have shown some cracks since reaching the 2008 BCS championship game - especially over the past two seasons (though they still won 10 games in both 2011 and '12). Stoops came up as a defensive coach, but his program has long ranked among the nation's most powerful and innovative on offense.
No. 10, Art Briles, Baylor: Briles doesn't get nearly the national recognition he deserves, particularly considering just how astonishing Baylor's rise would have seemed just four years ago. The Bears failed to post a winning record in their first 14 seasons in the Big 12; they've gone 25-14 in the three seasons since, twice knocking off top-five teams, producing a Heisman winner and maintaining one of the nation's most explosive offenses even after RGIII's departure.

Firefighters, a slurry bomber, helicopters, lower temperatures and slower wind helped prevent the Fern Lake fire, inside Rocky Mountain National Park, from spreading closer to Estes Park.
Park officials deemed the fire 40 percent contained Monday night and revised their earlier estimate of acres burned from 4,400 acres to 3,750 acres.
Some of the 600 people evacuated from areas near Estes Park may be allowed to return to their homes Wednesday morning, park spokeswoman Traci Weaver said.
Roughly 250 people, including 150 or so firefighters, have been working to put out the fire.
Winds blowing at about 30 miles per hour, down from a peak 60 mph Sunday night, helped firefighters control flare-ups. Weather forecasters say there's a chance of rain or snow Wednesday night.
A helicopter dropped water on flames and a tanker dropped at least one load of chemical fire-retardant slurry, Weaver said. "We don't drop retardant in the watersheds," she said.
Park officials classified the fire as human-caused, the result of a campfire that spread in early October. One cabin burned in the Moraine Park area. No injuries were reported.
The fire started in hard-to-reach terrain. It burned in densely-forested areas and blew up in wind over the weekend.
Park managers have tried to benefit from fire, using prescribed fires in recent years to improve forest health. But this is a fire they've been trying to snuff, Weaver said. "It was a full-suppression fire from the get-go."

So I have an RT Pro valve in my micromag and it has an odd issue. I posted up in the level 10 thread but I was told it is not an issue with the bolt so I thought it needs its own thread.
I've got an rt pro valve with a level 10 bolt. I initially had the original reg piston and it worked fine so long as I didn't want to shoot above 260, that is when it started leaking. So I ordered a new reg piston from tunaman. I'm using the .5 carrier. I started off with the red bolt spring. I followed all the guides and turned the velocity up until it first cycles, this happens at about 250fps. Since that is 20fps below where I want to be I thought I'd be good. Well when I try to turn up the velocity to get to field velocity, it doesn't increase at all. I can turn it in until the velocity nut bottoms out and it won't go above 250. I tried all three bolt springs and it is the same case with each one, though at different velocities. Am I missing something crucial here? I am stumped.
Someone suggested to use washers to shim the spring but this had no effect. There are about 3 full turns from when the gun starts cycling at about 250 to when the nut bottoms out. Throughout this range the velocity doesn't change. It stays at 250.

There has to be a simulator program out there where you can add and remove players from a team and have the system simulate who would win.I am not interested in this if it is basically a pool.

U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, has introduced a bill that he says would close a loophole that now exempts oil and gas drilling from certain provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.
Polis' proposed "BREATHE Act" -- the "Bringing Reductions to Energy's Airborne Toxic Health Effect Act" -- would ensure that wells drilled with the hydraulic fracturing process, an injection of sand, water and chemicals, aren't exempt from federal oversight, according to a Thursday news release from the Colorado congressman's office.
Polis' bill would add hydrogen sulfide to the Clean Air Act's list of hazardous air pollutants.
Polis is a co-sponsor of a related bill, a measure introduced Thursday by U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, a Pennsylvania Democrat, to reverse a Clean Water Act exemption that Polis' staff said oil now exempts oil and gas companies from having to comply with federal permit requirements for storm water runoff.
Cartwright's bill, called the Focused Reduction of Effluence and Stormwater Runoff (FRESHER) Act, would mandate a study of the effects of oil and gas operations on surface water.

Apparently Jodie Foster Is Gay
I guess before last night, Jodie Foster had never officially come out as gay, but is there anyone who didn't know? Mel Gibson? Did he think he still had a shot which is why he has always been so nice to her all these years? Although I thought it was a very moving speech at the Golden Globes last night, I also thought that her saying how private she is and how she never wants to talk about anything, but hey, I want to tell you about my ex and how she and I co-parent together and I'm single kind of did not all go together.

The staff of the Denver Zoo is mourning the loss of a lion to cancer for the second time in a little over a month and the third time this year.
Natal, a female South African lion who would have been 16 next month, died Monday night. The cancer started in her breasts and spread to the rest of her body.
On June 19, Rian, a 15-year-old male from South Africa, s uccumbed to cancer that started in his spleen. Cancerous cysts took the life of a 15-year-old female named Tawny in February.
"We'll miss her," Predator Ridge curator Hollie Colahan said of Natal's passing in a statement Tuesday. "Losing her so close to Rian the lion has been very hard for all of our staff.
"Our three remaining elderly lions are all similar in age and facing associated health issues. Our keepers love these animals and it's just a difficult reality to face."
The zoo is left with five lions, including two 1-year-olds, female Sabi and male Sango.
A 15-year-old male named Krueger has been diagnosed with cancer, and a 15-year-old female named Baby is being monitored since recently losing her appetite, the zoo said.
The Denver Zoo also has a healthy 15-year-old male named Rajah, Rian's brother.
"The lions that we have lost have all developed different types of illnesses that only have one thing in common — you see them with elderly animals at the end of their life span," Denver Zoo veterinarian Betsy Stringer said.
The zoo said lions in the wild live to about 15, and the median age for zoo lions is 16.8 years,
The zoo said tumors are common in older female cats.
Natal's tumor was large and invaded the lymphatic ducts around the mammary gland where it began.
"Without hope for recovery, zoo staff opted to keep Natal as comfortable as possible and monitor her quality of life," the zoo stated. "When Natal became extremely lethargic and stopped eating, staff made the difficult decision to euthanize her."
Natal had been a resident of the zoo's Predator Ridge since 2004.She had been the surrogate mother of an orphaned cub, Asali, who had been rejected by her mother after her birth in 2005.
Natal then gave birth to a female lion cub named Kazi the next year.

Paul McCartney is sticking up for Miley Cyrus.
While doing publicity for his new record, Paul McCartney was asked by Sky News what he thought about Cyrus' controversial tongue-wagging, butt-shaking performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month.
"Come on, we've seen worse than that," the former Beatle said.
The 71-year-old McCartney said he had no problem letting his 10-year-old daughter watch Cyrus' twerking routine because, in his view, it was rather tame.
"I watched it as an experiment to check, but you look at it and you say, 'What's everyone shouting about?'" he said. "I think it was only mildly shocking ... it wasn't explicit at all."
Cyrus, of course, has come under attack from all sorts of people — including five open letters from Irish singer Sinead O'Connor, who believes Cyrus' behavior is degrading to woman and making her a record company tool. Among other critics, indie rocker Sufjan Stevens criticized Cyrus for her supposedly bad grammar in one of the tracks off her "Bangerz" album.
Right. It's a good thing all those other musicians pay attention to their industry-mandated English classes.
Since he was talking, McCartney talked about One Direction and the Beatles comparisons some insane people make. "I always think it's unfortunate for a band to be called the new Beatles because it can be the kiss of death."
"People expect you to live up to what we did, and we did what we did in a particular period in time, which is very different from now," McCartney said.
In other words, stop being stupid.
But then, because he's Paul McCartney, he offered One Direction some praise.
"But I like One Direction," he said. "They're young, beautiful boys and that's the attraction. But they can sing and they make good records, so that's what I can see in common — and that the girls love them."

Devoted Fans Get Great Deal at New Arena
Lincoln - One of Nebraska's most devoted groups of women's basketball fans will get a welcome surprise when ticket invoices for the first season at new Pinnacle Bank Arena arrive in early fall.
The nearly 300 A-Level reserved season ticket holders at the Bob Devaney Sports Center will get a $30 discount off the price of their 2012-13 season tickets. In the final year at the Devaney Center, A-Level seats cost $190 for 19 Husker home games.
For the first season at the Pinnacle Bank Arena, the top price for a reserved ticket will be just $160 for 20 games. That's a sweet deal to watch a 2012-13 Nebraska women's basketball team that advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
"We thought it was a great way to say thanks to our most loyal fans," Nebraska Executive Associate Athlete Director Marc Boehm said. "Most of those A-Level fans have been with us for years, and we wanted to take the opportunity to say welcome home at the new arena."
Nebraska Coach Connie Yori agreed.
"I say this a lot, but I think we have some of the best fans in women's college basketball," Yori said. "When opposing Big Ten coaches came to the Devaney Center for the first time, they almost always commented to me before the game and to the media after the game, about how great the atmosphere was inside the Devaney Center. That's not about the building, it's about the fans. And those fans that sat right down on the floor at the Devaney Center, gave us a tremendous homecourt advantage. This is our way of saying thanks and bring some friends to the new arena."
Deb Brooks, a long-time board member of the Fastbreakers Women's Basketball Booster Club, said the reduced price of the ticket was a welcome surprise.
"It's a great feeling to know that as fans, we are appreciated," Brooks said. "We feel like the most important thing we can do is provide positive support to the players and coaches. The effort that they give on the court is contagious to us in the crowd. It makes for a fun atmosphere every night. We just love going to games."
In the Devaney Center seating configuration, three groups of reserved seats (A, B, C) existed. Last season, B and C level seats were $152 for 19 games, and the $8 per ticket price will remain the same at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
In the new configuration at Pinnacle Bank Arena, all the former Devaney Center season ticket holders were seated in comparable seats in the 100 Level/Lower Bowl. With just over 5,200 reserved seats and nearly 3,200 general admission seats making up the 100 Level/Lower Bowl inside the new arena, women's basketball fans who purchase reserved tickets will have outstanding views for all the action.
Fans can join the growing group of loyal followers of Nebraska women's basketball by reserving their season tickets now at Huskers.com/arena. A $25 per seat deposit will reserve great seats for Season One at the Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Lipid and fat metabolism is essential to an array of essential bodily functions; these include supporting energy production and cardiovascular health. Contrary to popular belief, carbohydrates aren't your body's sole source of energy. Instead, fatty acid oxidation provides the mitochondria (which are the portion of cells responsible powering almost everything else you do) with a source of fuel when there isn't enough glucose available.

Jason Wiberg topped the agenda at Monday's meeting of the Devils Lake School Board as he gave a presentation about the many and varied activities the system provides for students.
Wiberg's Powerpoint presentation outlined the number of students involved in the various teams and clubs offered. He emphasized the importance of activities for students and their success in life.
At the top of the action portion of the agenda was the Fine Arts Center Master Plan.
Superintendent Scott Privratsky discussed the work of the committee promoting the Fine Arts Center. Two members of that committee were present, Sally Dahl and Dr. Kirsten Enget.
Privratsky said there is already $175,000 that has been donated to the center. All that's holding them back, now, is the lack of a master plan. During the ensuing discussion the board members emphasized their support for the project and directed the administration to request architectural proposals for qualifications to develop a master plan for a Fine Arts Center to be located at Devils Lake High School. The costs for the development of this master plan will be paid for from the existing Fine Arts Center Fund.
Other business
The board voted to continue with the current school calendar for at least two years to give it a real chance, then evaluate it.
The board approved the group home policy manuals, held the first reading of the new policy regarding restraint or seclusion, approved the English Language Learner Bilingual Instruction Policy and a request for tuition waiver.
They also approved the N.D. School Board Association Policy Manual review agreement that will update the Century Code references, approved the school district audit report, finalized the superintendent evaluation and approved DLEA as a negotiating unit.
The next board meeting will be Monday, Jan. 14 at 5 p.m.

This is the sixth challenge in a weekly series from GeneaBloggers called 52 weeks of personal genealogy and history, suggested by Amy Coffin, that invite genealogists to record memories and insights about their own lives for future descendants. Week 6 – Radio and Television
I have two very early memories of watching TV as a young child. The first, like many people my age, is the Watch With Mother programmes. I don't recall having a television set at home until the early 1960's but we may well have done – I just can't remember. So my memories of Watch With Mother are from spending time with my grandparents.
The classic line up of shows was
Monday – Picture Book
Tuesday – Andy Pandy
Wednesday – The Flower Pot Men
Thursday – Rag, Tag and Bobtail
Friday – The Woodentops
If I have to choose then I will say that my favourite was Rag, Tag ad Bobtail.
One other programme I remember was Four Feather Falls. This was a Gerry Anderson puppet show set in the late 19th Century Western town of the same name, and featured the adventures of its Sheriff Tex Tucker who was given four magic feathers by Indian Chief Kalamakooya as a reward for saving the life of Makooya, the chief's son. Two of these feathers allowed his guns to swivel and fire automatically and the other two allowed his horse (Rocky) and his dog (Dusty) to speak English.
My other very clear TV memory is from the early 1960's and watching a "western" with my dad. He liked cowboy programmes and films. The TV series was Have Gun – Will Travel and starred Richard Boone as a professional gunfighter.
In my teen years the after school TV choice was really between Blue Peter and Magpie. I was a Magpie watcher.
There are a host of other 1960's programmes that I used to watch including
Till Death Us Do Part – Warren Mitchell as Alf Garnett.
Monty Pythons Flying Circus
The Prisoner – Patrick McGoohan as Number Six
The Lone Ranger – another western – the masked man and Tonto
Coronation Street – I don't recall watching the very first episode but have seen it since on various tribute programmes to the long running "soap".
Top Of The Pops – the weekly pop music fix every Thursday
The Man From Uncle
Match Of The Day – something for the weekend on a Saturday night
Dixon of Dock Green – early police series, aired I think early Saturday evening
Z Cars and Softly Softly – two more police series
The family entertainment and variety programmes included
Take Your Pick – with Michael Miles and the "Yes-No Interlude"
Opportunity Knocks – hosted by Hughie Green
Saturday Night at the London Palladium
My parents didn't listen to very much radio at all. So my interest really started by listening to Radio Luxembourg. I used to share a bedroom with my younger brother so I would have the radio on really low if we had both gone to bed. The disc jockeys I remember listening to were Tony Brandon, Paul Burnett, Dave Cash and Tommy Vance. The reception was notoriously bad but I felt "cool" listening all the same.
Of course Radio One came along in 1967 and that was the start of a new era of pop music on the BBC. Before that listening to music on the BBC was Children's Favourites with Lesley Crowther and later Ed "Stewpot" Stewart – on a Saturday if my memory is correct. Also on a Sunday was Two-Way Family Favourites – a request show designed to link families at home in the UK with British Forces serving in West Germany or elsewhere overseas.
If any of my readers share some of these memories please leave a comment for others to see.

The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class in an epic battle that must change the past - to save our future. The X-Men send Wolverine to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.
To get showtimes, select a county to find cinemas showing this movie in your area.
Get a good look at the destitute world presented in the very first scenes of X-Men: Days of Future Past, because you won't be spending much time there. In a swift few moments, the movie introduces the stakes (mutant-killing robots called Sentinels have wiped out the majority of the superpowered race and any sympathetic humans), the surviving players - Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Prof. X (Patrick Stewart), Magneto (Ian McKellen), and a few other marginally present regulars - and the one plan that's just crazy enough to fix everything: send Wolverine back in time to the 1970s, courtesy of Kitty Pryde's (Ellen Page) nifty new sending-people-back-in-time power, so he can prevent the impetus for this colossal nightmare from ever happening. Quicker than Peter Maximoff can divert a league of military bullets while rocking out to Jim Croce, we're out of the black hole of grim turmoil and frolicking about the groovy tunes and alabaster hues of 1973. And from there on out, it's all fun.
Wolverine's mission is simple: stop Mystique (Jennifer Bluerence) from killing government scientist Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage), the very man who invented the Sentinels... turns out the act of vigilance was a bit counterproductive. But even simpler than Days of Future Past's hero's journey is its quick fix on the time travel problem - you know, the web of logical paradoxes present in every piece of time travel fiction from H.G. Welles to Marty McFly to Looper that draws ire from sci-fi adherents the world over. Kitty spells out the rules from the getgo:
Go to sleep in '14Wake up in '73Do stuffWhen you wake back up in '14, that stuff will have been doneThe stuff that everyone did before you went to sleep in '14 will have been undone
Bing bang boom. As upfront and easy as high-concept time travel gets. In fact, the guidelines of Days of Future Past's space-time continuum could stand in as the film's general maxim to all viewers: Don't think too much. About any of it. Don't hang too tight to the old stuff, don't worry about the stuff to come, don't even get particularly hung up on the stuff that's happening now. Just enjoy yourself.
Although framed around a time-bending journey to preempt the inception of a mutant genocide spanning decades, Days of Future Past isn't as much about the legacy of mutants as its premise might have you believe. All of its stories take place within and between '70s-era Charles (James McAvoy), Erik (Michael Fassbender), and Raven (Bluenifer Lawrence), battling their respective Cold War demons - drugs, political unrest, racial inequity - and shared personal discord. As a young Xavier riddled with pain and depression, McAvoy is a tremendous hoot, stealing scenes from all but one of his screen companions: the fast guy.
Even more of a testament to Days of Future Past's true nature than its get in, get out, what happens happens mentality on time travel is its breakout character, Peter Maximoff, a.k.a. Quicksilver (Evan Peters). Wrangled in as a deus ex machina midway through the picture and offering nothing more than hearty chuckles and flashy action sequences, Quicksilver stands far and beyond the more substantive characters and devices as Days of Future Past's foremost highlight. Not because the laugh-a-minute performance has got much running under the hood, but because DOFP is far more interested in having fun (which he does) than in saying anything (which the others do).
Peters is merely the beacon of the movie's joy, not the sole supplier of it. Wolverine's jaunts about the '73 Atlantic coast are deliciously merry. The grab bag of mutants popping out of the movie's seams is a delight. McAvoy's maudlin decadance as a rock bottom Charles is the stuff on which British comedy was founded. Future Past gets its gravity out of the way in the opening sequence; after that, it's all good times.
And that's why it gets away with what might otherwise be frustratingly clandestine references to X

Amberjack, Greater (Kanpachi) – U.S., Handline
Greater Amberjack are found in subtropical regions with circumglobal distribution and in the Western Atlantic, range from Nova Scotia southward through the Caribbean to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico.
Greater Amberjack grow quickly, reaching sexual maturity at a young age of 1 year and have very high fecundity. Greater Amberjack exhibit schooling behavior as juveniles, but this behavior decreases with age, although adults tend to aggregate over reefs, wrecks and other structures. In the South Atlantic, the population of Greater Amberjack appears to be above target levels.
The primary gear used to capture Greater Amberjack is vertical hook and line gear that has a minimal impact on the bottom habitat. Greater Amberjack are caught in a mixed fishery with snappers and groupers, and some of these species are overfished.

Local officials urge CN to allow Metra expanded service on Heritage CorridorWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) was joined by more than 20 local officials in urging Canadian National to allow Chicago-area's commuter railroad Metra to expand service on the Heritage Corridor Line and accommodate at least two additional trains a day.
Adding two trains would boost commuter rail service to four round-trips a day in a growing area underserved by public transportation. In a letter led by Lipinski, regional leaders asked CN to work with Metra to accommodate the added service in order to improve employment opportunities for the region's residents and promote long-term economic development and job growth. The request follows on the heels of a letter to CN by newly appointed Metra Board Chairman Brad O'Halloran asking for more service on the line.
"The level of service on the Heritage Corridor Line lags far behind what is offered on other commuter routes on the Metra system. We understand that service is constrained by CN freight traffic and infrastructure limitations, but we believe that modest adjustments in freight schedules would make it is possible to add at least one additional train in the morning and one in the evening," Lipinski said. "We urge CN to act in the public interest and work with Metra to accommodate this improvement as soon as possible so people living in communities served by the Heritage Corridor Line can begin to have commuting options already afforded to others in northeastern Illinois.
"The population in Will County and southwest Cook County has grown substantially the last decade. The Heritage Corridor Line is not keeping pace. This needs to end."
Operated by Metra on tracks owned and managed by CN, the Heritage Corridor
Line runs between Joliet and Chicago's Union Station, stopping in Lockport, Lemont, Willow Springs and Summit. A new station in Romeoville is also in the works. Since 1999, the line has run only six trains a day, three trains in the morning rush hour and three trains in the evening rush hour. Metra's other 10 commuter routes offer between 22 and 170 trains a day, leaving a major mass transit gap in the southwest suburbs.
In the letter to CN, Lipinski and local officials note that between 2000 and
2010, the populations of Romeoville, Joliet and Lockport grew by 88 percent, 39 percent and 12 percent, respectively. Southwest Cook County has also grown during the past 10 years, with the populations of Lemont, Willow Springs and Summit increasing by 22 percent, 10 percent and 4 percent, respectively. At the same time, ridership on the Heritage Corridor Line also expanded. In 2002, 572,488 rides were taken on the line. In 2011, that number was 711,632, a 24 percent increase.

There are a few things I notice.On the start you were too shallow causing waves on the surface before your breakout.
On the first breath after the breakout on the start and every turn you raise your head too much.
You are usually good about having your head in line with your body during the streamline after recovering the arms,but not every time.
On your pull ,you lead a little with your elbows and your pull is very narrow.I think you could get more power with a slightly wider pull and leading with your forearms and hands(think EVF). You also pull just a little further back than I think is optimal,try bringing your elbows back no further than your shoulders.
Most of the time you do a good job in keeping your hips up,but that is not consistent(possibly related to sometimes having your head too high) and at those times you are swimming "up hill".
Again though,this is a good swim,keep it up.
"To strive,to seek,to find,and not to yield" Tennyson
I heard,
- Keep head lower on the breakouts.
- Keep head aligned during glide phase, every time!
- Wider pull, higher elbows, EVF.
- Elbows no further back than shoulders.
- Hips up, every time!
After looking at the video, it seems to me that it might be possible to keep my head lower throughout. Starts: The pool I train in does not allow practice starts, so it's going to be hard to work on starts.
Thanks for the tips! With luck, I will get another shot at this event during SCM season.
Hey there, K.F.! I told Swimosaur the same thing; I thought it looked great! I knew you would be able to spot things I couldn't catch, so thanks for helping him out. I can learn from it, too, by watching the video again and looking for what you pointed out. Thanks!
Hey, Swimosaur! You are off to a great start! See? I told you so!

Here's my 200 SCM breaststroke - I swam it 3rd time in my life (Lane 4)
Time: 2'54"47
My splits were:
25m - 0'18"23 (7 strokes / 25m)
50m - 0'40"59 (22"36) (7 strokes / 25m)
75m - 1'02"59 (22"00) (7 strokes / 25m)
100m - 1'25"05 (22"46) (7 strokes / 25m)

175m - 2'33"11 (22"69) (8 strokes / 25m)
200m - 2'54"47 (21"36) (10 strokes / 25m)
Any comments appreciated. What do you think I should work on to slice my time to 2'45?
Over all a really good swim and the corrections I made are pretty much the ones I need to keep in mind for myself too.

Which drills might help to lift up hips at the end of the kick?
HAPPY NEW YEAR, fellow frogs!
I'm back with yet another video of my breaststroke, in hopes my technique has improved, since I last posted. (I can only hope...). This video is of my 50 breaststroke, minus the last stroke, because my husband shut off the camera too soon. As for speed, it's a bit off, due to this being my 6th day of training in a row. But, what I am looking for, is constructive criticism of my pullout, stroke, and turn. I really tried to keep my arms straight on recovery; this was the best I could do:
I also have a video of my breaststroke pull drill and would appreciate any feedback on this one, as well:
Again, this is as straight as I can get my arms (and as hunched as I can get my shoulders) on recovery.
Thank you (in advance) for your help!

Another bad swine flu joke?July 25, 2009 at 7:46 pm | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment
Tags: arthritis, diarrhea, flu, H1NI, pain, RA, Rheumatoid arthritis, swine flu, vomiting
One benefit of suffering from RA is that you don't really notice the aches and pains when you go down with swine flu!
This time 'the yolk's on me' though, because I'm just getting over a bout of (presumed) swine flu as I type. I'm one of the awful people that had the flu and went to the surgery … but then again I think that's where I picked it up in the first place!
When I went for my blood test last week the nurse said, 'Hey, aren't you impressed? I'm running on time!' I said no, actually, I'd just settled down with a rather good magazine and was enjoying the break! She said she'd been trying to do me a favour because, as a 'valued customer' she didn't want me sitting out in the waiting room too long or I'd catch swine flu! We both had a chuckle, but looks like she wasn't kidding as by Wednesday I felt really ropey with a dicky tummy, and suddenly on Thursday afternoon I felt violently sick and had to come home. To cut a long story short, I phoned the surgery Friday morning and said I'd had a dodgy tummy for about a week and thought it might be my medication. Saw the doc (after fighting my way through the receptionists' blockade), and she said 'Lots of people with swine flu only have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, as well as the fever; might be that.'
'Oh no,' says I, confidently, 'I haven't got a fever … interesting though, I thought you had to have flu symptoms.'
'I'll take your temperature anyway,' says she, and sure enough I DID have a fever, though only a little one.
I went home, felt gradually worse, went to bed, felt MUCH worse, and ended up, after a period of violent shivers that felt more like convulsions, with a temperature of well over 101.
Still feeling like death warmed up today but temperature almost back to normal – good job I'm a fast typist or I wouldn't have made it through this post! I'm off to bed now.
Funnily enough I'd booked Friday off as holiday so had tied up all the loose ends at work … however, think I'll have to have Monday off too. Hubby nearly fainted when he said that and I agreed! That told him how ill I was feeling!

Bunny the Guinea pig came to us when her family decided to adopt an actual rabbit, sometime around 2010. She was the much-loved and snuggled River Birch class pet until her death last week while the children were on summer vacation.
Bunny didn't really like to move around very much. She was content to sit in her well-appointed enclosure and munch on carrots and timothy hay. The children were allowed to pet her, brush her, and feed her as long as they were gentle and respectful. She sat in a box on their laps in the green chair and they could pet her with one finger or two.
Bunny never required medical care, but she did get a few check-ups.
Bunny tolerated being brushed, especially if she had a sweet apple core to keep her occupied. She really loved spring and summer when she could get fresh lettuce from the school garden.
Bunny was peaceful, quiet, and - did I mention - tolerant? She only nibbled a couple of fingers but we are sure she was just testing to see if they were carrots.
Thank you for remembering Bunny with us, today. She is certainly going to be missed.

I should mention that there ARE other ducks in the toolbox. They are small ducks that fit in Harriet's pocket when she carries her camera and tripod to the classrooms to take group photos. But The Duck only works the main room. There is also a rubber frog that sometimes gets called up on the rare occasion that The Duck can't get a child to laugh. Harriet's experience tells her which toy to try.
She also encourages parents to let their children wear something comfortable on picture day. "Don't overdress them because children don't act the same way if they are overdressed," Harriet suggests.
It was great to spend picture day with Harriet and get answers to all of my (and your) questions about The Duck. But I had to confess that up until a few years ago, I didn't even know she had a first name. I had always known her, as we all do, as "The Ducky Lady." That seems to be how she likes it. But she was willing to share just a few personal details.
Although The Duck doesn't spend much time in the water outside of his daily bath, Harriet enjoys being outdoors when she's not behind a camera.
"I go kayaking and hiking. I belong to a kayaking group. That's what I do when I don't photograph," she says.
A few years ago, our school director Suman invited Harriet and some friends from school on a trip to India. For Harriet, that was a dream come true. One favorite memory is of riding on an elephant with her friend Beth.
"That was nice," she says, smiling. "India was my dream country. That's where I always wanted to go. I wanted to go there before they lose their saris and all the colors and become jeans people."
At the end of picture day as Harriet packed up The Duck to leave MSGL, Lena and Anita made sure she got one of our tie-dyed school t-shirts. The shirt made Harriet really happy and I asked her why.
"It's yellow and orange," she exclaimed. "My favorite colors!"
Thanks a Heather. She was so well loved and so tolerant. She will be missed. It does seem something is missing from the classroom with out her.
Great story, Gma Jane.

Scott Skiles out as Bucks coach
The Lakers and their injury situation ruled the headlines on Monday, but got trumped around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, when most of you were sleeping, with news breaking that Scott Skiles is no longer the coach of the Bucks, and "hated his team," according to a friend of Skiles' in a tweet from Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski. First of all, the fact Skiles hated his team is kind of amusing, especially when we have ripped on him for years for being such a fantasy-unfriendly coach. If you hate the team you're coaching, it makes sense that rotations and playing time would be a mess. While it's clearly too early to figure out exactly what a new coach in Milwaukee means (Jim Boylan is the interim), this is going to create some very interesting scenarios for guys like Ersan Ilyasova, Larry Sanders, John Henson, Mike Dunleavy and Samuel Dalembert.
Ilyasova missed his last game with an ankle injury but practiced on Monday, leaving him probable for Tuesday. Now let's see if he actually shows up and does anything for a new coach. My guess is that this is just what Ilyasova needed to happen to have a chance to get things turned around, but it's far from guaranteed. But if he's available in your league, now's the time to find a way to grab him and see how this plays out. If Boylan throws him into the starting five (where he belongs), look out. I would guess Dunleavy and Sanders should continue to post similar numbers to what they've been doing thus far, although that could change if Boylan decides he doesn't hate Sammy D. If Dalembert becomes relevant, it will hurt Sanders, but that's a big 'if.' I'm also nervous that Henson was a "Skiles guy," and could take a hit under a new coach. I've got him locked in a few lineups for the rest of this week, so I'm guessing we'll have an answer to most of these questions by Sunday night. Stay tuned.
Good news for Lakers fans who like bad news
The first news blurb posted on Monday morning detailed an account of Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard getting into it after a New Year's Day loss to the Sixers, and then suggested that Howard could end up in Brooklyn if the Lakers feel forced to trade him. All it will take for things to get right in L.A. is for the Lakers to start playing well, which would probably make Dwight and Kobe happy. But if it doesn't happen and it becomes clear that Dwight won't re-sign (although given his track record, it's unclear if he'll actually give them an honest answer to the question), the Lakers could be forced to trade him, and Brooklyn would be a logical landing pad.
But that wasn't the only news out of LaLa land on Monday. A cut nose for Pau Gasol on Sunday surprisingly resulted in a concussion, and he's not even traveling for their two-game road trip, and may not play all week. Meanwhile, Howard's shoulder MRI turned up a torn labrum and he'll miss at least a week, and is listed as out indefinitely. And all of this means that Antawn Jamison is suddenly relevant/must-own again, especially with Jordan Hill (hip) also hurting for the Lakers and not expected to play this week, while Jodie Meeks is also going to see more run. What would really make this whole Kobe/Nash/Dwight/Metta/Pau/D'Antoni/Lakers thing interesting is if they were to go on a tear with the big men all hurt. I'm hoping it happens, just to be able to watch D'Antoni say things like: "Even though we've won eight straight games without Dwight and Pau, we would have won all eight games if they were still in the lineup." And then start cursing at writers questioning his sanity, while also saying that Dwight's free throw shooting is not a problem. Not to mention the second-guessing and basic chaos that would ensue if the Lakers somehow play better without Dwight and Pau. I'm not saying it will happen, but it would be a good time if it did.
Bynum still optimistic
Onto other news, a former Laker, Andrew Bynum, is still optimistic that he'll play this season, but, of course, still has no target date for a return from his 80-year-old sore knees. When he's finally back, it could be slow rolling for the big man, if it even happens. I'm not holding my breath.
Like Lakers, Wolves all banged up
Ricky Rubio practiced on Monday and should play on Tuesday after missing time with a back injury. It should be interesting to see how it impacts J.J. Barea, who I am still holding. Nikola Pekovic is iffy for Tuesday due to a hip injury, but my guess is he's going to play. Kevin Love will meet with a specialist in New York this week to determine if he needs right hand surgery. If he does, his season could be toast, and if he doesn't, I don't expect to see him before the break. I dropped him in a daily league and still have him in a couple weeklies. Both Derrick Williams and Dante Cunningham are worth adding in most leagues for now.
Sick Parsons Project
Chandler Parsons missed Rockets' practice with an illness on Monday, leaving him a little iffy for Tuesday's game against the Lakers. My guess is he'll play.
Monday's Game News
Melo vs. KG, F-bombs, locker-room stalking, and waiting outside the bus
Rajon Rondo was suspended for Monday's game after making contact with an official, but the Celtics still beat the Knicks in a game that featured a mini-fracas between Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett, and reports surfaced that Melo had to be restrained outside the Celtics' locker room after the game, and then video surfaced of Melo waiting outside the Celtics' bus (with a boatload of security) for KG. Good stuff, and while I doubt it results in a suspension, it easily could given Melo's history. What would have happened if Melo had gotten ahold of KG last night? Remember this back-pedal job, oddly enough, against the Knicks in 2006?
Avery Bradley had 13 points, five dimes and a 3-pointer in the win for the Celtics, but I'm still not taking the bait – especially since Rondo was out. Garnett and Paul Pierce also both played well in the win, while Jason Terry was terrible, despite starting for Rondo. He's a drop candidate if you have someone you want to pick up.
For the Knicks, J.R. Smith, who wants to be the Sixth Man of the Year, as well as an All-Star, backed up the talk with 24 points and another full stat line that included four 3-pointers. Not to toot my own horn, but I was all about J.R. for the Knicks entering the season, and it's nice to see him living up to the hype. He also received 11 stitches in his forehead after a collision with Bradley, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't play on Thursday. And finally, it was Smith playing peacemaker between KG and Melo, which says a lot about how far he's come.
Wizards shock Thunder
Nene (right knee) and Jordan Crawford (ankle) were out for the Wizards, which helped explain Crawford's disappearing act on Sunday night. Both are day-to-day. Trevor Ariza was back in action from an extended absence with a left calf injury, while A.J. Price also returned from a right hand injury. Ariza had three points on 1-of-6 shooting, but is worth keeping an eye on as he works his way back into form and toward the starting lineup. Price had four points, five rebounds and five assists in 16 minutes, and his return should end the fantasy run for Garrett Temple (while Shelvin Mack was cut). Martell Webster had a season-high 22 points with four 3-pointers, but they were shorthanded, and Ariza's return isn't going to do him any favors. With Nene out, Kevin Seraphin stayed hot and had 19 points and five boards in 38 minutes, and should be scooped up in most leagues right now. Emeka Okafor also enjoyed Nene's absence with 12 points, 12 boards and two blocks, and is another guy worth holding after this two-game week passes. Bradley Beal stayed hot with 22 points, five rebounds, four assists, a steal and five 3-pointers, and also hit the game-winning shot as the Wiz shocked the Thunder. As I've been saying, Beal is a must-own player until further notice.
Serge Ibaka torched the Wizards for 26 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and another 3-pointer, but the Thunder lost to Washington in the end. Ibaka has somehow hit a 3-pointer in three of his last four games, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that fact.
Hornets beat Spurs
The Spurs lost to the Hornets, as Danny Green missed all five of his shots and Kawhi Leonard added 10 points, two 3-pointers, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 31 minutes. Both guys are starting and while that's a much better line from Leonard than we've seen lately, I'm still not rushing out to see if I can pick him up. He plays for Pop and simply hasn't done enough this season to make me think he's suddenly going to explode soon. If you have room to stash him, fine.
For the Hornets, Anthony Davis bounced back from an odd benching and had 17 points, nine rebounds, three steals and a block in 26 minutes, and I am really hoping this is the start of a hot streak for the rookie. Greivis Vasquez was at it again with another double-double, while Eric Gordon had 24 points and zero 3-pointers on 9-of-22 shooting in the win. He's starting and deserves to be in fantasy lineups, but I'm still tentatively awaiting that next "Gordon suffering from knee pain" blurb to come our way at some point down the line. Al-Farouq Aminu had four points, 10 boards, three steals and a block in 37 minutes, and is officially back in the good graces of Monty Williams. He's worth a look in deeper leagues as long as the minutes are there, and has been relevant in four straight games now.
Bulls drop Cavs
The Cavaliers fell to the Bulls on Monday when C.J. Miles had 15 points, two steals and four 3-pointers before leaving the game with back spasms. As someone who pick-and-plugged Miles into a couple lineups for four games this week, I am both thrilled and concerned right now. Hopefully he doesn't miss much time, if any. Dion Waiters had 18 points and six boards in the loss, while Tristan Thompson stayed hot with 14 points, eight boards, a steal and a block. Anderson Varejao could play on Wednesday, which would hurt Thompson and Tyler Zeller.
For the Bulls, Carlos Boozer has now racked up five straight double-doubles with 24 & 11 last night, and he's averaging 23 points and 12 boards during that stretch. Joakim Noah also double-doubled with 11 points, 11 boards and four blocks, and you don't see them do that on the same night very often. Nate Robinson also played well off the bench with 14 points, seven dimes and three 3-pointers in 24 minutes, and remains a guy I'd recommend stashing until further notice. Kirk Hinrich can't stay healthy all year, can he? Taj Gibson somehow had 18 points, seven boards, a steal and two blocks off the bench, but don't expect him to do this very often when Noah and Boozer are playing well.
Kings blown out by Grizzlies
Tyreke Evans returned for the Kings, while Marcus Thornton is set to come back sometime this week from a sprained ankle. Thornton was likely dumped in some leagues by owners desperate for games, and he should be worth a pickup once he's ready to roll. Evans had five points in 12 minutes off the bench, but isn't under a playing time restriction with his knee injury. Isaiah Thomas was terrible again, hitting 2-of-12 shots for nine points in 29 minutes, while Aaron Brooks had eight points and one assist in 23 minutes. Neither of them is fun to own right now, and I've just about given up on IT2. John Salmons had 17 points and three 3-pointers, but will start to take a hit once Evans is back up to speed. Proceed with caution.
The Grizzlies won easily despite Rudy Gay struggling for eight points on 2-of-10 shooting, while Wayne Ellington blew up for a career-high 26 points and six 3-pointers on 10-of-11 shooting. There's no need to panic on Gay, nor run out and pick up Ellington at this point.
Blazers top Magic
Jameer Nelson stayed super hot with 21 points and 12 assists (and hit just 2-of-12 3-pointers) to become the Magic's all-time leader in assists, passing none other than Scotty Skiles. Nikola Vucevic stayed hot with 17 points, 13 boards and a block, while J.J. Redick blew up for 29 points and six treys off the bench. Hedo Turkoglu failed to score in five minutes. Enough said.
As usual, the Blazers starting five went off (four double-doubles) and the bench did nothing. Rinse, repeat.
Jazz beat Mavs
Marvin Williams was suffering from a sore knee (again), which allowed Gordon Hayward to go off for one of his better games of the season with 27 points, six boards, five assists and four 3-pointers on 8-of-14 shooting in 34 minutes. Maybe the Jazz will figure out that they're a better team with Hayward on the floor instead of Marvin. Maybe. The Paul Millsap vs. Derrick Favors nightly battle was won by Millsap tonight, with 14 points and nine boards in 35 minutes, while Favors played just 13 minutes for four points, four boards and five fouls. Hope for a trade if you own either player.
The Mavs got 20 points, five boards, five dimes and two 3-pointers from Dirk Nowitzki, and he's officially back. O.J. Mayo, Darren Collison, Chris Kaman and Elton Brand also played well in the loss. With all of those guys starting to click, Shawn Marion and Vince Carter are going to be hit or miss going forward.

A dust storm blew into the Phoenix area Tuesday, hampering commutes in the afternoon and prompting a dust storm warning.
Daniel Hurlbert, who was on vacation in the area, took his drone — a DJI Phantom — up into the sky to catch a better glimpse of the storm. High winds forced him to cut the ride short, but he later filmed the same area after the storm passed through.
Meteorologists told the Arizona Republic that the storm formed because of moisture picked up from the Pacific Ocean.

A few weeks ago I forgot my phone at the house of a friend who lives a couple of hours away. I realized the mistake late on the Saturday of a holiday weekend, and since she wouldn't be able to ship it until the following Tuesday, my friend offered to drive it up to me. I told her not to worry about it. I'd survive without my phone.
And anyway, I was kind of excited to have a little vacation from my phone. I needed a break from incessant texting and obsessive Facebooking.
The three-day phone-atorium proved something I'd already suspected: I'm a better parent when I don't have my phone.
That's not to say that I taught 3-year-old Lily how to read or that 17-month-old Jovie now actually eats the broccoli she's served instead of pitching it to the dog.
But without the phone around, I was more focused on the girls. I wasn't constantly telling Lily to wait a second while I shot off a text to my sister. I wasn't rushing through story time so that I could respond to work-related e-mail or trying to snap pictures of adorable moments to post to Instagram instead of just soaking in the aforementioned adorable moment.
My husband left me one of his two phones in case there was an emergency, and I still had my laptop, so I wasn't totally off the grid -- but I was definitely on the periphery.
Even though I enjoyed the break, as soon as I got the phone back, I returned to old habits. But now I feel like I'm more tuned into how poorly I parent when the phone's around.
Do smartphones contribute to injuries in children?
Last year, the Wall Street Journal caused a stir in parenting circles with its article "The Perils of Texting While Parenting," in which ER doctors said that increased use of handheld devices is a plausible explanation for a recent increase in injury rates among small children. Between 2007 and 2010, nonfatal injuries of children under 5 rose 12 percent, reversing a long downward trend. During that same time period, the number of Americans 13 or older who owned a smartphone grew from 9 million to 63 million.
This certainly isn't damnable evidence, or even evidence at all of a causal effect, but it would seem to warrant some more research.
"It's very well understood within the emergency-medicine community that utilizing devices—hand-held devices—while you are assigned to watch your kids—that resulting injuries could very well be because you are utilizing those tools," Dr. Wally Ghurabi, medical director of the emergency center at the Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital told the Wall Street Journal.
Personally, I don't need studies to tell me that when I'm texting, e-mailing, tweeting or reading Facebook that my ability to manage household calamity is diminished. Significantly.
The crayon markings on my patio door tell me so. So does the poor dog who mopes around the house covered in stickers and adorned in pink and green Mardi Gras beads, the puddles of watercolors on the kitchen floor, and the paint on Jovie's mouth and cheeks (she's been known to slurp on paintbrushes when I'm not looking).
And beyond the annoying messes are the more dangerous signs:
The bite marks on Lily's hand from our cantankerous old cat who will only tolerate so much affection from the kids before he offers warning nips –; something I normally supervise closely -- except for when I'm distracted. And the scratches on Jovie's arms –; doled out by her older sister when I'm not around to referee playtime.
Sure my phone isn't the only thing around to distract me –; the sink full of dirty dishes or carpets begging to be vacuumed don't help –; but because it's portable and interesting. (What parent doesn't need a break from the tedium of "The Berenstain Bears Go to School" for the 13th time in one day?
What my phone is telling my kids
I also fear that using my phone as even a brief escape from parenting sends a message to my girls that, in that moment at least, the phone is more important than they are.
Children's needs are so basic –; after food, shelter, clothing, etc. –; the most important things you can offer them are your love and undivided attention. Not only will this help prevent accidents and injury, but it also helps with emotional and social growth. Recently, school officials in the U.K. began circulating leaflets to parents encouraging them to stop checking their phones and to listen when their children are talking to them.
"It's easy for everyone, even parents, to be distracted by the immediacy of electronic communications. We understand the pressure and temptation to respond straightaway, but it's important parents spend time speaking and listening with their children," Bernadette Hunter, president of the National Association of Head Teachers said in a statement. Doing this helps children become better speakers and listeners themselves.
Putting down my phone in order to be a more active parent will not only keep my children safer, but it should also help them developmentally.
I imagine all parents -- especially stay-at-home moms and dads -- can relate. Our phones offer a lifeline to a world outside of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and playground small talk. They're useful tools for venting to a friend about your kids' latest tantrum and sharing pictures with family members, but they can easily dominate our attention when we allow them to.
Personally, I guess I'm just going to have to start putting my phone in time out when my kids are awake.


text: i like the longer PTP gas through design. it offers the air inlet at a level to the ASA, so there are no major bends or kinks, which i like. its that linear approach, and makes it have cleaner lines and moves the macroline away from where your hand can go or grab at it. nice work. i'm sure that when Scott gets it, i'll have some trigger time with it.

With the holiday season underway, the No. 1 concern of State Police is safety, despite the agency having less manpower, said Lt. Col. Charles Dupuy.
With the holiday season underway, the No. 1 concern of State Police is safety, despite the agency having less manpower, said Lt. Col. Charles Dupuy.
Four to five years ago, there were about 1,150 state troopers, but the agency is down to 980, with 660 assigned to uniform patrol, after $70 million in state budget cuts.
"We are working as smart as we can," Dupuy told the South Central Industrial Association last Tuesday as a replacement speaker for State Police Superintendent Michael Edmonson.
State Police Capt. M. Doug Cain II, public affairs commander, said in a later interview that there were no layoffs.
"There are people who continue to retire and leave the department, and those vacancies aren't being filled due to a lack of funding. The state budget picture just hasn't allowed it," Cain said.
The department hasn't had a cadet class in four years because of budget cuts. With no cadet class, the department is not able to train and graduate new troopers.
"It's just one of those areas where we haven't been able to get the funding. We work with the government and legislation. They understand the position we are in, and we understand the position they are in, and we will continue to work with them to hopefully find funding to put on a class," Cain said.
The department has learned to do more with less to be effective and efficient.
In 2007, there were 993 fatalities on the roads of Louisiana and last year there were only 676, records show. Cain also said the number of impaired drivers is decreasing and seat belt usage has increased.
The State Police has also been creating partnerships.
"A lot of the time police find themselves out manned and out gunned," Dupuy said. "It is very important to communicate and utilize resources."
State Police work with city police, sheriffs offices, federal partners and emergency personnel.
"I think partnerships in general have been a part of Col. Edmonson's platform," Cain said. "That's the way it should be done, with a common goal of public safety, and we hope these trends continue. People are going to be safer."
Dupuy also talked about how proud he and Edmonson are of the troopers who helped out during Hurricane Sandy that hit the East Coast.
"We responded much like others responded to (our hurricanes). It was important to Col. Edmonson. We sent 25 troopers to Newark (N.J.). ... We didn't know how long they would be deployed or what they would be doing," he said.
More than 300 state troopers volunteered to help the victims of Sandy. The agency chose 25 who immediately drove out to help.
Some troopers who were working at an evacuee shelter met a couple and their baby, Dupuy said. Once they learned the family lost everything, they took it upon themselves to go to Walmart to help out.
"Because they were in uniform, the people in Walmart asked them why they were there. The troopers told them they were getting things for a family. Walmart took 60 percent off their bill ... and the lady who was following them paid for the rest," Dupuy said.
That woman also gave the family a place to stay.
"That's the act of kindness reciprocated by the troopers, and I am proud of that," Dupuy said. "When someone looks at us they want to know that we can help them. That's a part of the job. I am proud of the job, proud of the department, proud of the state and proud to serve."
The troopers returned to Louisiana about a week ago, and now they're helping patrol the roads during the holiday season.
This time of year, Cain said, troopers are placing great emphasis on highway safety.
"We are going to have extra troopers on the road. We are going to target drunk driving, no seat beats and distractive driving," he said.
"I know this is the holiday period. We've already had 10 fatalities. This is the time you are supposed to be spending with your families. We've had to get officers to knock on 10 different doors to let them know their loved one has passed, and we don't want to have to do that," Cain said.
The captain stressed making safety a priority while out traveling or shopping.
"People don't plan accordingly. They get stuck in traffic and get frustrated and upset. Then they end up having road rage," he said.
He wants everyone to have patience and plan out their schedules. That way they will know exactly what they are doing, where they are going and maybe find alternate routes during heavy traffic.
Cain also wants people to be mindful of others while shopping because lines will be long and stores will be cluttered.
