The Enforcement Bureau include the Professional Standards Division, the Patrol Division and the Criminal Investigations Division. The Office of Professional Standards is charged with Policy and Procedure processes of the Sheriff's Office. All actions are guided by Policy. It is the responsibility of this Division to establish and maintain these policies and procedures and to enforce adherence to policy. If there are discrepancies or violations of these policies it is the Professional Standards responsibility to investigate and recommend corrective measures. Complaints from the citizens of our county can also generate an investigation. Deputies are held accountable for individual actions and performance. If these actions generate a complaint from the citizens the issue is investigated. These actions are at the direction and under the direct supervision of the Chief Deputy. The Office of Professional Standards has the responsibility for managing and scheduling all Secondary Employment performed by any Deputy Sheriff. The Criminal Investigations Division is responsible for the investigation of criminal offenses committed in Buncombe County jurisdiction. Reflecting the increasingly complex nature of contemporary police work, the division has grown more specialized over the recent years. This Division is commanded by a Criminal Investigations Captain. The Captain is assisted by three unit Lieutenants and two Administrative Assistants. The Detectives of the Criminal Investigations Division are assigned to one of the various areas of responsibility. These are: Major Crimes Unit is responsible for investigation of the Major incidents. Major Incidents are defined as Homicide, Armed Robbery, and this level of crimes. Property Crimes unit is responsible for the Property crime incidents such as breaking and entering, larceny, obtaining property by false pretense. This unit works very closely with the Field Investigation Unit to provide response and solution to property crimes as quickly as possible after they are committed. Special Investigations Unit is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of crimes against people, money crimes, sexual assaults, violence or assaults and gang related incidents. Computer Crimes Unit is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of computer crimes. These incidents typically involve solicitation of minors and sexual assaults or attempts against minors. Field Investigation Detectives are assigned to work with the Patrol Division and be first response to incidents that the Patrol Deputies are responding to in real time. As much as possible they will work and handle cases that can be worked and disposed of soon after they occurred. If cases require longer term investigations the Detectives will arrange information and turn over to one of the other Detectives in one of the other sections. BCAT (Buncombe County Anticrime Taskforce) is our drug suppression and investigative unit. These Detectives work longer term primarily drug related cases. Some of these investigations require months of undercover and investigative work that is out of the spectrum of normal Detective work. Each of these units are responsible to take incidents or cases from beginning through investigation, collection of evidence, interviewing and collecting information from both victims and suspects. These Detectives will take a case from beginning and follow through all aspects, working with the District Attorney's Office for prosecution and final disposition of the cases. The Patrol Division Proper and professional response to the public's calls for service is the primary commitment and focus of the Sheriff's Patrol Division. We strive daily to offer quick responses with the most professional service possible to the citizens of Buncombe County. Integrity, Dignity and Professionalism are the guiding principles that govern our actions, and we hold all our actions accountable to the citizens of Buncombe County at all times.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's varsity wrestling team made a strong showing at the state Class 4A-3A East Region tournament last weekend, finishing second overall and sending six wrestlers on to the state championship meet this weekend.
The Seahawks continued their assault on the post-season at the state regional meet last Friday and Saturday, finishing second in the Class 4A-3A East region tournament for the second straight year. Old Mill took first place in the regional meet with 157 total team points, followed by Decatur in second with 109 points. Reservoir was third with 100.5 points, while Centennial came in fourth with 82.5 team points.
Perhaps more importantly, the Seahawks turned in several strong individual performances at the regional meet with four wrestlers reaching the finals in their respective weight classes and two winning state regional titles. Two-time defending state champion Danny Miller won the regional title again in the 189-pound class, defeating Pat Carey of North Carroll in the finals.
Decatur's Bernie McGarry also won a state regional title in the 140-pound weight class last weekend, beating Doug Spear of Glen Burnie in the championship match. Two Decatur wrestlers, Danny Kominos and Dylan Drew, reached the finals in their respective classes. Kominos made it to the finals in the 152-pound class, but fell to Mike Mullins of Reservoir in the championship match to finish in second place.
Drew reached the finals in the 285-pound class, but fell to Aaron Hawkins of Old Mill in the championship match. Two other Seahawks wrestlers finished in the top four of their respective weight classes and advanced to the state championship meet this weekend. Corey Tobias (130) finished fourth in his class, while Bryce Smith (160) finished fourth in class.
Tobias and Smith will join Miller, McGarry, Kominos and Drew as the six Seahawk wrestlers represented at the state tournament this weekend at Cole Field House at the University of Maryland.
Last year, Decatur finished fourth out of the field of 77 schools in the state Class 4A-3A championship meet with two wrestlers, Miller and the now-graduated Skylar Snead, winning state championships. With six individual wrestlers in the tournament this year, the Seahawks are hoping to repeat that performance and perhaps win a couple more individual titles.
Miller, (189), whose season record now stands at a gaudy 35-2, will face Josh Hertz of Sherwood High in the first round. McGarry, (140), will face Taj Douglas of Milford Mill High in his opening round match. McGarry's current season record is 27-2. In the 130-pound class, Tobias, whose season record stands at 26-7, will face Brian Samuels of Leonardtown in his opening round match.
Kominos, (152), will face Hunter Rowe of Huntingtown High in his opening round match. Kominos' record stands at 25-6 on the season. Decatur's Bryce Smith (160) will face David Stout of North Carroll in his opening round match, while Dylan Drew (285) will face Crossland High's Eric Alexander in his opener at the state championship meet this weekend.

One professor's road trip through education
Eighteen years later as an educator and leader, Nick Pace, an associate professor in educational leadership and postsecondary education, knows he's made the right decision. But his journey didn't start in education. As a '92 graduate of UNI with a sociology degree, he went on to work for the Missouri Department of Mental Health in Kansas City, Mo. He worked with people with severe mental illnesses to help them manage their daily lives. He was heartbroken and inspired at the same time seeing the obstacles they faced.
UNI associate professor Nick Pace has an extensive background in education - from coaching basketball and teaching middle and high school social studies to being a principal and current coordinator of UNI's principalship program.
Pace remembers precisely the exact moment he knew he wanted a change – it was at a red stoplight at 47th and Main in Kansas City. As much as he loved parts of his job, he wanted to teach and work with youth who didn't see their full potential, but could still seize the opportunities that so many of his clients would never have.
He went back to school and earned his teaching certificate, coached basketball and taught middle and high school social studies. He earned his master's degree in '97 and went on to be a principal at North Tama High School in Traer, Iowa.
Reflecting back, Pace says the role of a principal has changed drastically. Years ago, the principal was seen as the "hammer" or the manager, someone to keep things in line. But now it's really more about being able to provide instructional leadership for teachers to teach more effectively.
Principals today not only have to excel at the day-to-day managerial tasks and in instructional leadership, but they also need to cultivate a healthy learning environment. As Pace says, it's no easy task with an ever-changing school environment that now includes issues associated with bullying and harassment, immigration, sexual orientation, poverty, and the like.
It was Pace's work as a principal at North Tama that inspired his research interests in gay and lesbian issues in schools. His research includes the school experiences of eight kids who were openly gay and lesbian in high school. He wrote "The Principal's Challenge: Learning from Gay and Lesbian Students" to share what he had learned with other educators who were in similar positions---having never thought about gay and lesbian issues and their role in serving all students.
He tells students who are struggling in school to not let others or circumstances define them. "You've got gifts, worth, value and potential the rest of the world may be slow to recognize. Be tenacious and resourceful."
He returned to UNI in 2000 and worked as a student teaching coordinator. Pace drove more than 2,500 miles a month all over 18 school districts observing, placing and evaluating student teachers, and providing instructional leadership to teachers. During this time, he also earned his Ed.D. in educational leadership from UNI in 2005.
Pace is currently the coordinator of UNI's principalship program. The program is organized in cohorts of 15 to 20 students who work full time in schools from all over the state—from Davenport to Spirit Lake, Dubuque to Council Bluffs. The program is completed through a blend of face-to-face, online classes and videoconferencing.
"Coming into Ed Leadership felt right – and the chance to do it at a place that has been a part of my wife's and my life since we were 18 years old has been special," says Pace.
"You've got gifts, worth, value and potential the rest of the world may be slow to recognize. Be tenacious and resourceful."
"I've never been a part of a team that is better than UNI's Ed Leadership program right now," says Pace. "The personal and professional relationships our faculty develop with students are inspiring. My colleagues are incredible and credible. We've all been there as principals and superintendents."
He credits UNI students as another reason UNI's program is so strong. "They come with such passion and desire to be difference makers," says Pace. "They're consistently the best and brightest educators in their districts, involved in everything…and they want to lead on top of all that. They're tenacious and serious about making schools better for students."
It's that passion and need for real life experiences that inspired Pace to write his second book, "The Principal's Hot Seat: Observing Real-World Dilemmas."
The idea for the book stemmed from a role-play exercise Pace does with his students in the principalship program at UNI. Students act as principals in a mock situation and people come to see them about a variety of issues. It's totally unscripted -- nothing's out of bounds -- just like reality in the principal's office. The students have to listen, respond, deescalate and try to come up with action plans moving forward.
As the education landscape continues to evolve, how does Pace approach such challenges?
Pace goes back to his days as a UNI basketball player. (Pace was a member of the 1990 NCAA Tournament team.)
Pace says, "I'll never forget something Coach Eldon Miller told us. Our team was struggling and we were in Detroit for a game in 1991. It happened to be the eve of the Gulf War. He told us that with the war starting, people were preparing to die. And we had a ball game to play. We don't have any real problems," he said. "That taught me perspective."
"One of my favorite sayings is from New York Yankees great Reggie Jackson. He said, 'A great manager has a knack for making the ballplayers think they're better than they are.' He's talking about self-efficacy and that's something we talk a lot about in education. It's not about unrealistically building people up or phony, empty praise. But if I can convince students that they've got the capacity, the skills, the toughness, they're halfway there. "

A crazy live concert by human beatbox Rahzel at Garibaldi's bar and grill in the Whistler Village on Wednesday, April 9 keep a majority of the attendees of TransWorld SNOWboarding's Industry Conference up late into the evening. But, those who did get out of bed on Thursday morning hit bluebird skies and yet another great day of riding at both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
After a long day out on the hill, many people showed up in the Mallard Bar of the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Après ski to join Kurt Hoy, editor of TransWorld SNOWboarding for a fireside chat on Resort Relationships. Topics discussed included liability and rising insurance costs, helmets and park liability, and terrain park sponsorship. Marketing, terrain park staff, instructors, and directors from Booth Creek Resorts, Whistler Blackcomb, Park City, Copper Mountain, and more were there to chat with Hoy and representatives from snowboard brands to help forge relationships and ideas between the two sides of the snowboard industry.
A few of the topics were excellent lead-ins for the workshop that followed the fireside chat just down the hall. Behind closed doors, Chris Gunnerson, owner of Snowpark Technologies and director of marketing at Booth Creek, moderated a panel entitled "Terrain Park Liability Revisited." The workshop followed up on the many safety initiatives created during last year's Industry Conference in Alyeska, Alaska. Joined by Mark Petrozzi, vp of risk management for Booth Creek Ski Holdings, Inc; Brian Leighton, safety manager at Whistler/Blackcomb; Moira C. Wong, barrister and solicitor at Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang law firm in Vancouver, British Columbia; and Shaun Cattanach of Burton Snowboards, the crew reviewed the importance of the Smart Style program that has been initiated in terrain parks across the U.S. as well as the impact of rising insurance costs on resorts and parks.
The final panel of the night, "Screen Time Snowboarding" took place shortly after dinner. Representative s from Fox, ESPN, and MTV talked about the future of snowboarding on TV. Panelist Chris Stiepok of ESPN explained that while the channel will continue to show snowboarding and other Action Sports though programming falling under the X-Games brand. Jason LaBeach Senior Director of Strategic Programming for MTV explained that while the channel will continue to showcase snowboarding and other sports it plans to include the athletes in its programs through personality driven shows like Cribs, Diary, and others. Fox Cable Networks Group, Vice President of Programming and Marketing CJ Olivares had a different approach. Fox is helping to launch new Action Sports channel altogether -Fuel will be available to Direct TV subscribers starting in July and will feature 22 hours of original programming seven days a week.
Overall, day two of the Industry Conference delivered yet another day of great seminar topics and amazing riding-two down and one more to go. Stay tuned for more coverage from Whistler.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Labor unions and other liberal groups are urging that Florida expand early voting days and sites
They proposed several recommendations Monday in response to long lines for early voting as well as on Election Day and delays in getting ballots counted in last Tuesday's election.
Sen. Oscar Brayon, a Miami Gardens Democrat, said he would sponsor legislation based on the recommendations.
They also include proposals that local election officials be given more discretion to select early voting sites and that they dedicate more resources and voter assistance, including translators, for early voting.
The groups want to return to 14 days of early voting. The Republican-led Legislature reduced it to eight days. Critics say that was an attempt to suppress voting by Democrats who vote early in larger numbers that Republicans.

He describes how one of the earliest versions of a fluid for repairing mistakes on a manuscriptWhiteout 101was a mixture of milk, cheese and lime. He observes the hilarious complaints that overworked monks, their hands cramped from writing, sometimes added to the margins of the texts they were copying.... On the Nature of Things was filled with, to Christian eyes, scandalous ideas. It argues eloquently, Mr. Greenblatt writes, that 'there is no master plan, no divine architect, no intelligent design.' Religious fear, Lucretius thought, long before there was a Christopher Hitchens, warps human life. There is abundant evidence here of what is Mr. Greenblatt's great and rare gift as a writer: an ability, to borrow a phrase from The Swerve, to feel fully 'the concentrated force of the buried past'."NYTimes

I think I may have written fanfics for here before, but I've completely forgotten about them. Probably a good thing. They were probably rubbish.

The Mission Bay Book Club will be reading Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco by Gary Kamiya for our March meeting. Gary Kamiya will join us to discuss his book he calls "a love letter to the place in the world that means the world to me."
Kamiya drove a taxi in San Francisco for 7 years while completing college and working as a freelance writer. He earned his BA and MA in English literature from UC Berkeley, which awarded him its top undergraduate award in English literature, the Mark Schorer Citation, in 1983. After five years at the Examiner, where Kamiya was a culture critic and book editor, he left to co-found the groundbreaking website Salon.com. Kamiya's writing has appeared in the New York Times Book Review, ArtForum, and Sports Illustrated, among many other publications. He is currently the executive editor of San Francisco Magazine. He also writes a weekly history column, "Portals of the Past," which appears every Saturday in the San Francisco Chronicle.

By Brielle Johnck
I join the applause for the Menlo Park City Council's commitment to the Cool City Initiative.
I also want to remind the council that there are other city issues that need to be resolved: the General Plan is three years out of date and a practical residential zoning ordinance is badly needed.
If both these matters could be resolved within the coming 18 months, the city might operate more smoothly and be ready for a 2008 council election that is without the acrimony we experience every two years.
There are environmental aspects to both the general plan and the zoning ordinance that are real and could be guides to both homeowners and developers. Residential location and density issues remain unresolved. Zoning and permitting incentives should be given for solar energy designs. Bayfront Park should be given permanent protection as open space.
Menlo Park has found itself in a war that has been all too easily labeled by the local press as pro-growth and no-growth. With a reasonable but clear set of rules, the city could put to rest this poisonous controversy.
We have slogged our way through a residential zoning referendum, a referendum on Bayfront Park and a referendum on the Derry project. Battles such as these create council elections resulting in political swings. There follows an adjustment period and a learning curve to conquer. Our last council majority neglected to address either the general plan update or the need for an updated zoning ordinance and instead dealt with each development proposal in a vacuum. The mayor won her seat partly due to her success in forcing the council to rescind a faulty residential zoning ordinance. This issue is hers to fix.
It is time to sit down and do the messy work of asking ourselves how we want the city to look tomorrow and 25 years from now. Get it down on paper. The process of updating the general plan is an arduous task and we need to get started. The mayor and the mayor pro tem will be looking at a re-election campaign in 16 months. Green issues can be found in the mundane as well as in the hybrid Prius.

A letter to the governor
Dear Governor Shumlin,
In your first two years, you have done a tremendous job of energizing state government and ending the doldrums of the decade of Jim Douglas' do nothing approach to governing. Kudos to you for moving us towards universal health care, which is no small feat. And you are to be congratulated as well for taking global warming seriously, unlike your predecessor or many of your contemporaries. But you seem to be glossing over some devilish details that merit frank discussion without any preconceived conclusions.
Increasingly, studies and experts agree that preschool access for all children is vitally important to ensure future success in school. You recognize that and you have called for an increase in funding for these programs. But your revenue source, taking money away from the Vermont earned income credit payments to our state's working poor, acts to undermine the very benefits that you are trying to promote. Every Vermonter who receives an EIC payment, by definition is working hard at a job that does not pay a livable wage. The EIC is a way to reward hard work that does not pay adequately. It helps make a low paying job more worthwhile and is an incentive for people to work even if they barely make any more than they might if on government assistance without a job. These are the people who cannot afford good quality day care and pre-school services and will benefit from your proposed increased funding. But these are also the very people who have no money to spare. So while you may give them better access to child care, you are simultaneously taking away some of the income that they need to feed those children before they send them off in the morning. You are increasing the chances that the next time the car breaks down, they will not have the money to make the repairs, putting them at risk to lose their jobs. As you have said, in any budget, there will be winners and there will be losers, but why must the losers be the ones who are already the most vulnerable?
When you came into office, you made a pledge not to raise any broad based taxes. Doubtlessly, you understand that if a state is going to embark on an ambitious plan to provide universal health care, grow jobs and improve our education system, it will be in the crosshairs of those who do not want government to be so involved in these issues. If you immediately started to introduce new broad based taxes or tax increases, you would be targeted as another tax and spend liberal and your vision and programs could be put at risk by political blowback in this age of all Americans hating government and taxes in general. But as you zealously guard against the tax and spend label, you are asking the poorest among us to foot the bill. You indicate a willingness to go along with a proposed gas tax increase, and a gas sales tax, but these revenues will also come largely from those who can least afford it. There are not many Vermonters today who can saunter down to the car lot and upgrade their vehicle to one that gets substantially better mileage. So to add to the burden of keeping our 10-year-old cars repaired and on the road, we will be paying disproportionally higher gas taxes than our more affluent neighbors who are tooling around in their hybrids getting 40 mpg or more.
It's true that Americans have a mistaken obsession that we are a heavily taxed nation, but that is not necessarily as true for the state of Vermont. We are smart enough to know that while our taxes will rise with universal health care, we will save an even greater amount of money by no longer being held as prey by the insurance companies who raise our rates (read taxes) every year while reducing coverage and care. Vermonters are not especially proud of the vast inequalities of wealth that are becoming more extreme with each passing year. Indeed, there have been groups of wealthy Vermonters who have asked for higher taxes so that our values as a state can be realized for the benefit of all. Perhaps you have your eye on a future presidential run and so don't want to create any political liabilities in the eyes of the American populace. But you must remember that President Obama campaigned in part on a promise to raise taxes on the wealthy. Congress effectively watered down his promise and the rich have emerged essentially untouched. But the electoral results should give you solace and the resolve to allow Vermont to have a more equitable tax burden within the state. We can raise taxes on those who can best afford it and the state will be stronger for it.
You are a leading voice in promoting a serious response to climate change. And while we are at a critical juncture where we must start acting to reduce our carbon outputs, we don't have to do it while wearing blinders to avoid seeing any unfortunate consequences or, in current parlance collateral damage. There is talk at the statehouse of a three year moratorium on industrial wind projects, While wind opponents will seize on this as a way to stop further wind development forever, many Vermonters see a short moratorium as a sensible way to be able to assess the impact of wind development before we find ourselves overwhelmed by something that may have more negatives than positives. It is not constructive when your allies accuse all Vermonters who are considering a moratorium to be deniers of climate change. Remember, we have already approved several large scale wind projects. Only one has been completed so far and it has generated great controversy. Simply taking a breather to allow the other projects to be completed and then be assessed is not a vote against future wind projects. You may not change your mind about moving ahead immediately, but you and your allies do the state a disservice when you declare that an interest in a moratorium is the same as being against all future industrial wind projects.
Keep up the good work, but please don't let your ambitious agenda prevent you from hearing and really listening to some of the voices that you now may see as merely bumps on the road. We are a state of thoughtful people and all of our thoughts won't necessarily line up exactly with yours. Listen carefully and we will all be stronger and more successful for the trouble.

WASHINGTON -- Vagabond Vending LLC has released version 1.2 of its mobile application in the Apple iTunes and Google Play app stores. The latest version enables any Android device user to download the application onto a mobile phone or tablet. The previous version was available only for devices running under Apple's iOS.
In addition to Android compatibility, Vagabond 1.2 includes upgrades designed to enhance the mobile experience of the vending operators, drivers and warehouse personnel who use the system. Primarily affecting the mobile elements of the application, the upgrade is said to lay the foundation for Web-based developments planned for release in conjunction with the National Automatic Merchandising Association's OneShow in late April.
The latest release includes provision of a "mobile snapshot" that allows vending operators to see the most urgent daily operational components on a single screen -- which machines require attention, what products are running low and the day's sales results. In addition, the new "load" improves data handling in areas of weak cellular service, and bolsters the capabilities of the backend infrastructure, the company reported.
"With this release, Vagabond is now available to over 80% of all smartphone and tablet users in the U.S.," said Michael Lovett, founder and chairman of Vagabond Vending's parent company, DTG Holdings. "We're executing a number of developments this year that will extend our system's competitiveness as we endeavor to offer the industry's only simple, turnkey and affordable solution for small and medium vending operators to reduce cost and increase operating profits." He explained that the release includes substantial upgrades to Vagabond's backend infrastructure that enable the service to accommodate larger customers.
Vagabond president Juan Jorquera added, "We continue to release developments that will dramatically enhance the toolset available to operators while maintaining our simple and effective user experience." He said Vagabond technology is a seamless and intuitive VMS solution for underserved, smaller operators.
Vagabond integrates with industry-available telemetry hardware and any mobile or tablet device running under iOS or Android. The mobile app is used to manage day-to-day field operations; the Web app delivers reporting analysis, cash accounting and administration.
The cloud-based mobile software can track vending sales in real time and display the current fill status of every machine whenever desired. It reports how much of each product is needed to stock a machine; manages inventory; reports the quantities of each product sold from a machine; and calculates the gross profit of the operation.
The Vagabond 1.2 revision sets the stage for the thorough overhaul of Vagabond's Web product to give operators more detailed information and real-time analytics that they can use to better manage labor costs, product variety and profitability. The results of this development process will debut late in April.
Information may be had by calling Juan Jorquera at (202) 778-2316.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Rivals.com Midwest Analyst Josh Helmholdt takes a look at some of the top underclassmen at Sunday's NIKE Football Training Camp. All prospects are in the class of 2014.
Les Miles Tiger Football Camp Top Performers
DT Michael Barwick, Cincinnati (Ohio) Summit Country Day
The 6-foot-2, 255-pound Barwick does not have ideal size for the defensive tackle position, but he is ahead of the curve from an athletic standpoint. He will probably never play above 300 pounds, but he is learning how to maximize his strength while also exploiting the speed advantage he has over most offensive linemen. Barwick's stance was too tall at times on Sunday, but he kept fighting and working his way upfield.
WR Justin Brent, Indianapolis (Ind.) Speedway
The Midwest is blessed with an abundance of wide receiver talent in the 2014 class, and Brent proved why he should be mentioned towards the top of that list. The 6-foot-3, 193-pound Brent uses his size to his advantage, but also glides effortlessly down the field. He was a little clunky in and out of his breaks, but nothing that cannot be corrected with coaching.
OL J.C. Hassenauer, Woodbury (Minn.) East Ridge
Hassenauer has been active on the camp scene this spring and his game is benefiting as a result. At 6-foot-2, 256 pounds, Hassenauer is light for an offensive lineman, but his frame is lean and should be able to add plenty more weight. Despite being smaller than most defensive linemen he faces, Hassenauer does a good job in these settings because he is a determined competitor who has solid technique.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Helm was one of the breakout stars at Sunday's NIKE Camp. He has a great frame and proved to be an outstanding route runner and pass catcher. In fact, he looked like a younger version of four-star tight end Jake ButtClick TE Daniel Helm, Chatham (Ill.) GlenwoodHere to view this Link., whom he went head-to-head with all day. Helm can split out and run as a wide receiver and should be able to handle the blocking aspects of the position once he adds weight to his frame.
Sunday was the second straight day Jones was participating in a camp in the Midwest summer heat, so he did not have the same jump in his step we saw on Saturday. Still, the 6-foot, 200-pound Jones is a talented back who stands out even on his off days. Jones picked up offers from Illinois and Iowa on Saturday but still was out competing with the likes of Ty IsaacClick RB Jeff Jones, Minneapolis (Minn.) WashburnHere to view this Link. and Ezekiel ElliottClick RB Jeff Jones, Minneapolis (Minn.) WashburnHere to view this Link., and matching up well with those Rivals250 prospects.
QB Chris Little, Evanston Township, Ill.
Little was not a prospect we knew about heading into the event, but he demanded attention with the way he spun the football on Sunday. He has decent height and a solid athletic build, though he can easily stand to add another 20-plus pounds to his frame. Still, Little had good velocity on his passes and showed the ability to hit most points on the field. His footwork and technique were solid for a young passer, and we're interested to see where he goes from here.
ATH Tommy Mister, Oak Lawn (Ill.) Richards
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Mister ran at the quarterback position, but he is likely to play a different position at the collegiate level. Mister's passing skills were not on the same level as other quarterbacks at the camp, but he has an athletic build that could allow him to play safety, wide receiver or running back in college. We did not get to see Mister run around and show off his athleticism, but several early offers suggest he can do that just fine.
Morgan and fellow Chicago-area 2014 linebacker Clifton GarrettClick LB Nyles Morgan, Crete-Monee (Ill.)Here to view this Link. often get mentioned in the same sentence, and they ran alongside each other at Sunday's NFTC. Garrett is slightly bigger and more physically developed at this stage of his career, but both are promising prospects. Morgan plays with a lot of range and shows great athleticism for the linebacker position. Now he just needs a little more physical and technical development.
DT Peyton Newell, Hiawatha, Kan.
Newell's size doesn't exactly catch your eye at first glance. He played at the defensive tackle spot, but is slightly undersized for that role. However, when the action got started, Newell showed why more than a half-dozen schools have already extended him an offer. He is very quick off the ball and keeps his center of gravity low. If the offensive lineman handles his first move, Newell can come back with a second and third move to counter, while using his hands extremely well.
DE Gelen Robinson, St. John (Ind.) Lake Central
Robinson is built nothing like his brother - class of 2012 five-star basketball prospect Glenn Robinson III - or his father, who was a standout college and NBA player. The 6-foot-1, 230-pounder is a thick, strong kid with a huge upper body. He ran at defensive end at Sunday's NFTC, but could also play the middle linebacker role. Strength is certainly one of his best assets, but he has great straight line speed as well.
DT Enoch Smith Jr., Chicago Mt. Carmel
This was one of the most anticipated evaluations of the weekend because there has been a lot of college interest for Smith already this spring. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, this defensive tackle prospect did not look quite that big. He is slightly undersized for the defensive tackle position and is still learning the technique and fundamentals. Smith Jr. got caught playing high on several reps and needs to get stronger, but the potential is certainly there.

The 0.5 GPM aerator has a gentle needle spray (laminar) which makes it easy to wash your hands despite the low flow. The laminar multiple stream non-aerating spray widens for efficient rinsing with less water and provides less heat loss and more energy savings than aerated single stream faucet aerators that mix air and water.
Features & Benefits:
- Aerators come in a 2-pack, for two bathroom faucets
- Low flow rate: 0.5 gallons per minute
- Laminar flow, great for washing your hands
- Dual-thread connection to fit both male and female faucets
- Solid brass housing with polished chrome finish
- Flow control constructed of durable celcon plastic
- Installs easily without tools

- California Energy Commission Certified
- Lead free - California Health and Safety Code 116875 compliant
- 10-year guarantee
Dual Standard Thread:
- 15/16 x 27 threads on the outside (male)
- 55/64 x 27 threads on the inside (female)
To install aerator, simply unscrew your current aerator (by hand, or if it's tight, use vise-grips or channel-lock pliers). Feel inside the faucet with your finger to make sure the old o-ring isn't stuck there. Screw on the new aerator by hand. If it leaks a bit, use the vise-grips to tighten it a bit more, or put some plumbing/flux tape over the threads and tighten again.
For bulk orders, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
10 Year Manufacturer's Warranty
Installing low-flow faucet aerators is the most effective way to conserve water in your home. Saves 77% more water and energy than a standard 2.2 GPM aerator. That's 18,615 gallons of water annually!

Fantasy Football Advice for Week 12
NFL FeaturesNFL Week 12 Fantasy Projections
2010 NFL Week 12 Predictions
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings
Create Your Own NFL Dream Team
NFL 2010 Archives
Every Tuesday during the NFL season, WhatIfSports.com will release its fantasy projections for the upcoming week. The statistical inputs to the thousands of NFL games simulated are based on rigorous analysis of each team's roster, depth chart and statistically-based player rankings. In addition to our computer forecasts, WhatIfSports.com will also offer a "creative" perspective at its fantasy football coverage in a weekly feature called "Fantasy Fever." Enjoy.
Start 'Em:
QB: Mark Sanchez, Jets. Sanchez has thrown for 950 yards and six touchdowns in his last three ballgames, and this weeks matchup against a depleted Cincinnati secondary should be opportunistic for the Jets QB. Sanchezs recent success can be attributed to the affinity hes developed with Santonio Holmes, whos starting to show signs of grasping the New York offense.
RB: Mike Goodson, Panthers. In the absence of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, Goodson has lit up the proverbial fantasy scoreboard, as the Texas A&M product has crossed the 100-yard plateau the past two weeks against Baltimore and Tampa Bay. With no timetable on the return of Stewart, Goodson is a smart play this Sunday against the Browns, who are surrendering 116.4 yards to opposing backs. In a related note, is there a more delightful sentiment than selecting a backup off the waiver wire who comes to prominence thanks to injuries to the regular starters? Not only do you solidify your depth, but another owner is now weaker thanks to your conniving tactics. Who said Machiavellianism couldnt be applied to fantasy football?
WR: Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs. In the last two games Bowe has collected 295 yards on 19 catches, and has 10 touchdowns in the last six weeks. Kansas City has a run-first mantra, but a trip to Seattle could prove to be beneficial for the Chiefs aerial assault as the Seahawks are last in the NFC in pass defense (283.2 yards per game). Additionally, the Hawks are tough at home (3-1 at Qwest Field), meaning Kansas City could find themselves down early and forced to attack from the air.
TE: Kevin Boss, Giants. Thanks to injuries to Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks, the Giant WR corps is so destitute that Derek Hagan and Michael Clayton have been signed off the scrap heap. Boss should see some extended targets simply due to the lack of familiarity between Eli Manning and his new receivers. New York welcomes Jacksonville this Sunday, a team thats conceded 20 touchdowns in the passing game this season, which should equate for numerous chances for Boss.
DEF: San Francisco 49ers. Despite their 3-7 record, San Francisco is right in the thick of the NFC West race. (Although its probably a stretch to call that division a race as a war of attrition is probably the better description.) And while the game is in Arizona, the Cardinals have lost five straight and the offense is a catastrophe. The 49ers are allowing just 17.8 points in their last five games, and the unit is yielding a relatively-low 106.8 yards a contest.
Sit 'Em:
QB: Jon Kitna, Cowboys. Kitna time! The Cowboy QB has been rejuvenated under Jason Garrett, scoring seven touchdowns in the past two weeks in leading Dallas to consecutive victories. Unfortunately for Kitna, the Cowboys face New Orleans on Thanksgiving. The Saints are holding opposing signal callers to an NFC-low 186.3 yards a game, and have given up just seven touchdowns. View Kitna as that extra piece of turkey on Thanksgiving: it looks good, the last few pieces have been phenomenal, but its better left on the table.
RB: Cedric Benson, Bengals. Not much to like here. The Jets are confining opponents to 90.3 yards, and chances are the Bengals will abandon the run if they fall behind early (a very plausible scenario). Only start Benson in deeper leagues.
WR: DeSean Jackson, Eagles. Jackson has flourished when Vick is behind center for Philadelphia. However, a trip to the Windy City does not bode well for Jacksons fantasy prospects in Week 12, as the Bears have picked off 15 passes and allowed just six touchdowns. Look for Philadelphia to attack on the ground rather than the air in Chicago this weekend.
TE: Bo Scaife, Titans. On one hand, you could make the case that Rusty Smith will be checking down to Scaife early and often. I would counter with Rusty Smith will be the guy in charge of getting Scaife the ball. Exactly.
DEF: Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been a top-5 defense this year, but Arian Foster and the Houston offense are too explosive. Only start if no viable options exist.
Fantasy Flashback Performance: With the exodus of Brad Childress this week, lets examine one of the fantasy highlights produced from the Childress regime: Adrian Petersons November 4, 2007 performance against the San Diego Chargers. In only the eighth game of his professional career, Peterson rushed for an NFL-record 296 yards and added three touchdowns in a 35-17 win against the Lighting Bolts. Peterson would finish the season with 1,341 yards and 12 touchdowns in earning Rookie of the Year honors.
Waiver Wire Watch: Seattle WR Ben Obomanu has posted two consecutive solid performances for the Seahawks, accumulating nine catches for 147 yards and a touchdown. Obomanu has taken the starting slot spot from Deon Butler, equating to more targets his way. Seattle doesnt face the toughest of slates the remainder of the season, so Obomanu should be a pickup that proves dividends.
This Week in Kevin Walter: K-Walts explosion against Jacksonville (six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown) proved to be an aberration rather than revival, as #83 reverted back to his 2010 form with two catches for 16 yards in a loss to the Jets. And for those of you who believe the Texas Tornado is not an integral part of the Texan game plan: In Houstons first four games of 2010 (3-1 record), Walter had 242 yards and three touchdowns on 20 catches. In their last six contests (1-5 mark), Walter has only received 10 balls for 130 yards and a score. In fact, this theory is so close to law that it should be featured on those insurance commercials: "Could switching to GEICO really save you 15 percent or more on car insurance?...Is failing to get Houston Texans wide receiver Kevin Walter the ball a bad idea?
Walter's 2010 stats:30 receptions, 372 yards, 4 touchdowns.
Walter's 2010 CBC (Cornerback Body Count) : 8
Rookie Review: Judging by his cameo appearance in Sundays loss to Washington (3-for-9, 69 yards, INT), the Rusty Smith Era might not be one to remember in Tennessee. However, Titans fans can take solace in A) Chris Johnson is still in the backfield B) Smith is probably more effective and reliable than Vince Young and C) Kerry Collins should be back in three weeks. In a related note, did you ever think the phrase, Kerry Collins should be back in three weeks would be met with delight by a fan base in 2010? And does this mean someone will be uttering, Thank God, we get Kyle Orton back in three weeks! in 2020?
Gatorade Shower Goes To: Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Bills QB continues to impress, throwing for 316 yards and four touchdowns in Buffalos come-from-behind victory over Cincinnati. Since taking over for the beleaguered Trent Edwards, Fitzpatrick has thrown for nearly 2,000 yards with 18 touchdowns and just nine picks. Which brings up an intriguing subplot: if Buffalo finds itself with the first pick in the draft, do the Bills have enough confidence in Fitzpatrick to pass over Andrew Luck? On one hand, Buffalo has a plethora of position concerns that ignoring Luck could be justified. On the other end of that spectrum, the Bills are in desperate need of a franchise player, and Luck seems to be the perfect player to act as a foundation. Whatever the case may be, the sentiment that Fitzpatricks play has caused this discussion is an amazement in itself.
Personal Foul On: Richard Seymour. Wait, who am I kidding: that punch was fantastic. A few perspectives on the Seymour smackdown: 1) The punch was really a slap. 2) I never understood why football players take swings at each other. They realize theyre wearing helmets, right? 3) I think the reason Seymours fine wasnt as severe as initially thought is because, deep down, everyone in America has wanted to hit Ben Roethlisberger in the face.

Dinosaur Fossil 'Wasn't Supposed to Be There'
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
Workers with the Canadian energy company Suncor unearthed ankylosaur remains while mining oil sands near Fort McMurray in Alberta. The carcass of the four-legged land creature was not flattened, as is the case with many fossilized vertebrates. But most strangely, it was found in an area known primarily for fossilized marine creatures.
Previous vertebrate fossils found in this oil sand formation were marine reptiles, like the ichthyosaur and plesiosaur. Marine invertebrates such as clams and ammonites are the more typical fossils found in the region, so a large, land-living ankylosaur "wasn't supposed to be there."1
But finding a mixture of fossilized marine and land creatures together is not an unusual occurrence. For example, the famous dinosaur beds in the Morrison Formation at Dinosaur National Monument contain logs, clams, snails, and mammals.2
And the Institute for Creation Research's front lobby features a juvenile hadrosaur taken from the Two Medicine Formation—a sandstone formation which extends from the east side of the Rocky Mountains eastward to Edmonton, Canada—that was fossilized alongside marine clams and snails, as well as birds, mammals, and other dinosaurs.
Medical doctor Carl Werner actually used fossil-related criteria as a test for evolution.2 He reasoned that if the evolutionary story were true and that dinosaurs lived in a unique "Age of Reptiles," and if everyday natural processes were responsible for their fossilization, then no fossils of creatures from other "ages"—for example, creatures that had not yet evolved—should be mixed up with dinosaur fossils.
But Werner found that a fossil mixture of very different kinds was typical. He told Creation magazine:
Paleontologists have found 432 mammal species in the dinosaur layers….But where are these fossils? We visited 60 museums but did not see a single complete mammal skeleton from the dinosaur layers displayed at any of these museums.3
Werner also learned that dinosaur-containing rock layers have "fossilized examples from every major invertebrate animal phylum living today," and that dinosaurs were mixed in with varieties of fish, amphibians, "parrots, owls, penguins, ducks, loons, albatross, cormorants, sandpipers, avocets, etc."3 If museums displayed these real fossils instead of adorning dinosaur dioramas with feathers, then the evolutionary story that "dinosaurs evolved into birds" would be quickly seen as the fiction that it is.4
There are many other examples of land-dwelling dinosaur fossils mixed with sea creatures.5 This kind of evidence is to be expected if a world-destroying flood was responsible for the bulk of the world's fossils, dinosaur and otherwise, considering that "the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered."6

BARTOW, Fla. - A woman who escaped from Polk County deputies while only wearing pants was later found on some railroad tracks and re-arrested after she again tried to flee, officials said.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Bartow police found Vinzena Wardell, 31, on the railroad tracks at Polk Street near Mill Avenue around 7:30 a.m.
Wardell ran from police, but she was caught by Bartow K-9 team in the parking lot of the city public works building just west of Mill Avenue on Boulevard Street, deputies said.
Wardell was taken to Bartow Regional Medical Center to be treated for injuries she sustained from the K-9, deputies said.
Deputies initially arrested Wardell at her Bartow home around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, but she resisted and a struggle ensued. Deputies used a stun gun on her and then took her to a hospital to be medically cleared.
Just after midnight, as deputies were escorting Wardell from the hospital, she opened the patrol car door and escaped while still restrained and wearing only black pants, according to deputies.
She faces several charges, including failure to appear, grand theft, scheming to defend, exploitation of the elderly, resisting arrest and escape.

keeping you informed
Campus status
Since the start of the 2009–2010 school year, fewer than 50 Case Western Reserve University students have sought treatment from University Health Services for confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza. These students include undergraduates and graduates, and those living on and off campus. Some appear to have contracted the illness while traveling. These students are limiting their contact with others and appear to be recovering without complications.
The university and its Emerging Infections Committee continue to monitor conditions and communicate with the campus community regularly to keep students, faculty and staff informed and to give them easy access to additional resources.
H1N1 vaccinations
The university administered more than 2,700 H1N1 nasal vaccinations to the campus community this fall. Information on additional opportunities to receive the nasal vaccine in Cuyahoga Country is available from University Health Services.
The university received 1,000 doses of the shot vaccine in December and will be administering them on a first-come, first-served basis during campus clinics December 11 and 14.
Due to the national shortage of seasonal flu vaccines, Case Western Reserve has had to suspend its seasonal flu vaccination offerings.

Review of Tommee Tippee Baby Bottles
Tommee Tippee Brings UK Favorite Stateside
Cheerio old pal! Generations of babies grew up with Tommee Tippee cups sitting on their high chairs. They could push the cups over, but they'd always pop back up to a standing position, eliminating any unwanted spills. A new generation of lil ones is about to be introduced to the leading British infant and toddler feeding company's latest innovations when the Tommee Tippee line makes its stateside debut at Babies R Us stores later this month.
With a newborn on hand, I eagerly tested the company's Closer to Nature line of baby bottles, which are designed to help babies seamlessly transition between breast and bottle feeding. The extra-wide design of the BPA and phthalate-free bottles ($16 for a two-pack) fits right into the palm of the hand, allowing mom to position it like a breast in a baby's mouth. The soft, flexible nipples are so lifelike that I was almost embarrassed to use them in public. They naturally stretch, just like a breast, while their built-in valve helps reduce air intake. Colicky babies will benefit from the line's Sensitive Tummy bottles ($18 for two) that feature a vent tube to prevent air and vacuum back-up. For formula-fed babies, the line includes formula dispensers that ingeniously screw right into the bottles for easy bottle preparation on-the-go.
To hear about the company's products for toddlers and my favorite part of the line,
Once tots move beyond the bottle-feeding years, Tommee Tippee greets them with the Explora line of products. Among my favorite pieces in this big-kid line is the spill-proof trainer cup ($8 for two) that is truly easy to drink from. Anyone who has tried to drink out of their child's sippy cup knows that many require a suck similar to a vacuum in order to get a drop of liquid from them. This cup requires almost no force, making it great for younger kids.
The line's Easi-Mat, which grips to both the table and a bowl, will also be welcomed by parents who spend most of their mealtimes picking dinnerware up off the floor.
But my favorite part of the entire Tommee Tippee line are the Closer to Nature Milk Feeding Bibs ($6 for two). Their extra-absorbent collar catches all of the milk that usually makes its way down to the baby's neck during both breast and bottle feedings.

very excited to see the new look indians offense vs you're Reds even if it is only ST, im not sure if Swisher will be there since his mother passed away tonight
but im very interested in seeing what a lineup of
can do and all the while being managed by Terry Franchona
im also interested to see what the rotation looks like this year, if they can just be a middle of the road rotation they should contend for the ALC just because alot of Pitching staffs in the AL dont have the talent 1-5 to hold the indians potential offense down for multiple games in row, just too much speed and power mix.
but i do think the new OF of Brantley-Bourn-Stubbs will make the rotation look better just because our OF was dreadful last year even with Choo who does have a strong arm, but theres alot of plays he cant make in RF so im interested to see how well he will pan out in CF, i feel like its going to end very bad.
how have the Reds looked in ST? any guys sitting out for a while?

.30 Caliber/7.62mm (.308) 165 gr. HPBTFor rifles in 30 caliber, this 165 grain #2140 Hollow Point Boat Tail bullet, which is patterned after the world-famous 168 grain MatchKing bullet, was designed for shooters who desire a hunting version of that famous MatchKing. It is slightly "harder" than its 165 grain Spitzer Boat Tail counterpart and will give superior penetration and good expansion on medium game with excellent accuracy. This is a good medium-weight bullet choice for shooters of 30 caliber magnum rifles who desire a bullet that will not deform at the point.
For handguns chambering 30 caliber cartridges, this 165 grain #2140 bullet is "hard" and will expand in medium to large game only when driven at a muzzle velocity of 2500 fps or more, which is achievable in the 308 Winchester cartridge in the Remington XP-100 handgun or a similar combination. It can, of course, be used for handgun silhouettes or other target purposes.

|Shot lots of Gemsbuck, Zebra and Kudu with the 165gr, It is a harder bullet and does not disintegrate and never lost a buck with it. Won't use anything else on bigger game.
|Lonnie L of Philadelphia, MO, Missouri

|Excellent performance on Elk . Highly recommended.
|Jake H of North, Alabama
|December 3, 2016
|Shot a 7 point buck at 30 yards with my 308, the bullet performed as advertised. These bullets shoot well out of my gun loaded with 45 grains of IMR 4064. The buck didn't go anywhere, I don't know what else you'd need to hunt with. It left an exit hole the size of an oil filter.
|James J of Nesbit , Mississippi

|Accuracy was as expected 5 rounds in the same hole useing a 308 savage fcp-sr 24" barrel runing the bullets .015" off the lands at 2725 useing accurate 2520 powder the performance was great on the two white tails I shot over thanksgiving break, both of the bucks dropped where they stood, the only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 is because both bullets completely shed the jacket all of the way from the lead core the jacket expansion was great though. Both shots were soft tissue and both shots were between145-190 yards this is now my go to hunting round for there ability to do the job and do it well I would highly recommend giveing them a shot

|Ron T of Fenton, Michigan
|January 2, 2016
|My father and I have reloaded this round in 30-06 for years (since 1984) and it has proved to be very accurate. It's the only thing I'll take into the field deer hunting. A well placed shot and you won't have to track your deer far if at all. I've never seen it cause excessive damage to the meat if you make a good shot. You can't go wrong with this if you're shooting under 500-600 yds.
|Jerry D of Everett, Washington
|November 18, 2015
|I reload for my Ruger Mark II 30-06. This bullet is the most accurate hunting bullet I've found in 30 years of hunting. I will be staying with it for all medium game hunting, and am shooting small groups at 300 yards. That gives me great confidence when in the field. Will also try it for elk, based on the overall ratings I have read, and see how it performs.

|Fantastic bullet. Devastating terminal performance. Loaded these up for .30-06 to try when my brother in law drew a junior doe tag in SoCal. The "fever" got him, and he made what would ordinarily be a terrible shot... in the hip. But because of the performance of this bullet, it tore the femoral artery and completely shattered the hip. She dropped right there and was expired in about 10 seconds. A little meat lost due to shot placement but because of a devastating bullet, no tracking!
|David P of Guelph,Guelph, Ontario
|June 7, 2015
|I shoot this bullet from a .30-06 Husqvarna at around 2700 fps. Shoots 1" groups day-in, day-out at the range under all conditions. Took it to Namibia last month for plains game. Shot gemsbok, wildebeest, kudu and impala (all shots <100 yds). The bullet performed brilliantly. One shot kills on every animal, BUT this bullet explodes within the chest cavity. There were no exit wounds and we recovered only a few fragments of copper jacket from the wildebeest. Need very good shot placement, because there was no blood trail - all animals dropped within 50 yds of being hit - these are large tough animals. David.
|Dean S of Ogden Utah, Utah
|March 4, 2015
|Most accurate , devastating bullets for mule deer I've ever usecd ... 1/2 inch groups are normal. - Maybe I left out too much information... 30/06 - Remington cases - Remington 9 1/2 primers - IMR 4350 powder - T/C Venture rifle. 1/2 inch groups are 10 rounds at 100 yds - 200 yard groups open up to 3/4 inch.

|For 30-06 on deer, don't bother with any other bullet. These bullets really perform. Superb terminal ballistics and accuracy. When my hunting friends witnessed my results, they ALL switched to this bullet and copied my load. No more trailing wounded deer ever again.
|Joel B of Shickshinny, Pennsylvania
|February 28, 2014
|In the 30/06 they're awesome, knock a buck to the forest floor right where they stand. Shoot 1" -5 shot groups no problem, out of a clean barrel. They always exit and they don't over expand--exits are dime to nickel size--they never move.

|September 6, 2013
|This bullet is wickedly accuate and deadly on Whitetails. Accuracy and effectiveness rivals the 165 gr. SP GameKing, but the hollow point takes knock-down power to the next level! I use this bullet in a Remington Model 7 (308 Winchester) with IMR 4064 powder. I'll never use anything else.
|Jeff W of Newton , Mississippi

|Excellent accuracy, shot the smallest group ever with these bullets. I don't expect to be changing loads for my A Bolt as long as these are being made.
|G. P of Greentop, Missouri
|August 15, 2013
|One of my favorite bullets; tougher than its GK brethern, and flies like a laser. Great for whitetail -- especially closer shots and/or at magnum velocities. Not quite the explosive expansion seen with the softer bullets, but plenty to drop them where they stand. The non-deforming tip is a bonus.
