Boston to launch effort to solve more homicides
City police may add to squads
The Boston Police Department plans to bolster homicide squads in the coming year and examine the way it investigates killings in an effort to combat one of the city's most intractable problems: the painfully slow rate at which most slayings are solved.
The plan is not finalized, but an initial proposal calls for each homicide squad, which is now made up of two detectives and a sergeant, to be beefed up by two more investigators and to be supervised more closely by commanders. Detectives from the drug and gang units would regularly be called to crime scenes to help.
In addition, DNA specialists who study forensic evidence at crime scenes would receive more intensive training, and the Secret Service would be asked to help retrieve phone records more quickly.
The homicide squads will receive the extra resources for 18 months. Then, analysts plan to compare the department's clearance rate - the proportion of cases in which a suspect is arrested or identified in an arrest warrant - to previous years. They will also compare Boston's success rate to that of other cities to determine whether the additional manpower helped investigators close more cases more rapidly.
If the clearance rate rises, the department would continue using the extra resources.
"For the next year we're going to be really focused on the issue of shootings and homicides,'' Commissioner Edward F. Davis said in interview. "I really want to try and work on holding people accountable for it.''
The city is launching the initiative amid a dip in overall violent crime.
Compared with 2010, major crime in Boston dropped 8 percent this year, and killings fell 14 percent, according to preliminary figures from police on Dec. 26. the most recent data available.
But the murder-clearance rate continued to stagnate: Boston police solved 23 of the 62 homicides, or 37 percent, that occurred in 2011. The national average usually hovers at more than 60 percent.
Meanwhile, the number of nonfatal shootings dipped slightly in 2011 to 260, from 263 in 2010, an especially violent year. Department officials said they were unable to provide the clearance rate for shootings.
The latest effort to improve the city's clearance rate does not have a budget yet, but Davis said the department would dip into $2 million saved in 2010 through reductions in overtime to cover the costs. A $500,000 grant from the Department of Justice will bolster the effort.
It is not the first time the department has sought to strengthen the homicide unit.
In 2007, shortly after Davis became commissioner, he beefed up the unit to 25 detectives and added two more detectives to the cold case squad, for a total of three. He has replaced the deputy superintendent in charge of the unit three times.
Despite the changes, the percentage of homicides solved by Boston detectives has lagged. In 2010, the department solved 27 of the 72 homicides that occurred that year.
Department officials said they measure the clearance rate by the total number of homicides solved in a given year, regardless of what year the murder occurred. By that standard, the department had a clearance rate of 49 percent in 2010 and 53 percent so far this year.
Still, that is below the 60 percent rate Davis has said he wants to see.
Police say the nature of Boston's homicides makes it particularly difficult to solve them: The majority tend to be the result of gang feuds or are drug-related, the kinds of cases that draw little cooperation from witnesses.
In the department's successful grant application to the Department of Justice last August, police had proposed bolstering the resources of some investigative units while leaving others as they were. Then, police would flip a coin to determine which homicide was assigned to the bigger squad and which went to the traditional team.
The idea was scrapped three months later.
Davis said he worried about the reactions of families who learned their loved one's case had been assigned the smaller detective squad.
"Everybody in the room was concerned about ethical implications of certain cases being treated differently than other cases,'' said Anthony Braga, a professor at the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice who will be conducting the analysis for Boston police.
Braga said he also worried that detectives in the traditional squads would try to overcompensate for having fewer resources, making the final results unreliable. The relatively small number of homicides in Boston each year could not guarantee that any results were beyond reproach, he said.
In the end, department officials decided that all of the squads should receive extra resources. The entire homicide division, which now has 17 detectives and 10 sergeant detectives, will probably get bigger, though Davis said he is not sure how many more investigators would be added.
Police could also use overtime to assign more investigators to cases, he said.
"Quite frankly we're willing to leverage the savings,'' Davis said. "But a lot of these people are on-duty personnel. . . . I don't think it's going to be unwieldy.''
Braga said he will look at both standards for measuring the clearance rate. He plans to compare the results with the rates of other cities and the department's for the last 10 years.
Braga said he will also analyze the clearance rate of nonfatal shootings, which typically get considerably fewer resources than homicides. "The only real difference in a majority of these cases is whether someone lives or dies, but research shows that the intent [of the shooter] is the same,'' he said.

A Charlotte teen was treated for several injuries after an alleged assault by a mob outside a Indian Land neighborhood clubhouse Feb. 10.
Deputies spoke with the 17-year-old victim over the phone at about 1 a.m. as she was being treated for her injuries at Carolinas Medical Center-Pineville, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report.
The teen told deputies she needed to file a report because she had been assaulted earlier that night outside the Black Horse Run Clubhouse, 9684 Black Horse Run Road.
Springs Memorial Hospital
Effective Friday, Feb. 15, Springs Memorial Hospital has lifted flu visitation restrictions.
The hospital announced Nov. 30, 2012, it was implementing a temporary limited visitation policy due to the high number of flu cases in the area.
That policy prohibited children under age 12 from visiting patient rooms and emergency room patients. Those with respiratory infection symptoms (coughing, sneezing, runny nose or fever) were asked not to visit SMH until their conditions passed.
It's hard to believe there's a connection between a cylindrical sample of asphalt and the recruitment of new businesses to Lancaster County.
But with two core samples in hand, that's exactly the connection two county airport officials made at Lancaster County Council's meeting on Feb. 11.
Doug Barnes, airport commission chairman, and Paul Moses, airport director, discussed various airport needs during the meeting, including their desire for a thicker taxiway.
Old water lines and empty, dilapidated buildings.
Those are some of the blights Lancaster City Council members have once again pinpointed as they begin brainstorming their list of top needs for 2013. They also hope to receive more federal funding to help fund some of the much-needed work.
Grazier Rhea of the Catawba Regional Council of Governments spoke during City Council's Tuesday, Feb. 12, meeting about grant application criteria and deadlines.
Deaths, injuries and collisions.
Each word evokes a plethora of emotions, but for the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office each syllable serves as motivation for keeping county roads safer for motorists.
As part of that effort, the sheriff's office's newly created DUI Enforcement Team netted more than a dozen arrests and issued several citations and warnings during a two-week period in December, said Sheriff's Maj. Matt Shaw in a press release.
In 1913, about 40 Civil War survivors gathered at the Confederate Memorial in front of the historic courthouse in downtown Lancaster for a group photograph.
Very little is known about the event, other than the men enjoyed a picnic lunch that day served by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Thirteen of the men there had fought at Gettysburg.
But that photograph has become a part of local history and lore for good reason.
That's because of the black man seated on the ground in front of the men and one woman who surround the monument.
A trio of University of South Carolina Lancaster students received suspended sentences and fines in General Sessions Court on Monday, Feb. 11, two months after their arrests in an illegal night deer hunting case.
Sixth Circuit Solicitor Doug Barfield said James Christopher Stewart, 18, Ryan Charles Manore, 19, and Blake George Shirley, 18, all pleaded guilty and were sentenced Monday on the charge of illegal night deer hunting, first offense.
"We negotiated a sentence for them and each of them got the same sentence," Barfield said.
Nine local groups will benefit from the latest round of hospitality tax grants from the city of Lancaster.
City Council unanimously approved the recommendation on how to divvy up $50,000 during its meeting Tuesday night, Feb. 12.
The city received 14 applications for the 2012-13 hospitality tax grant cycle. Last week, its special Support Services committee recommended funding nine of those requests. Five projects were denied.
When Ken Faulkenberry takes a walk through the woods, the last things he wants to see are piles of garbage bags, cast-off refrigerators or mounds of worn tires.
But as county officials consider reducing the number of convenience sites throughout the county, those are exactly the types of items Faulkenberry predicts will soon pop up along county roadsides.
Speaking at Lancaster County Council's meeting on Monday, Feb. 11, he urged council members to use caution as they move forward.
Discovery School students are discovering the food, arts and traditions of Japan, thanks to the help of the school's new intern, Ayumi Kanazaw.
Kanazaw, 21, a third-year international relations major at Nihon University, is the latest Japanese student to take part in a long-running internship program between the university and Discovery School.

Lincoln Police Investigating Homicide in Southeast Lincoln
On 10-15-08, at 2:40pm, Lincoln Police were sent to Ameritas at 5900 O Street. A man, later identified as Eric Brox, was causing a disturbance at the business. Witnesses reported that he urinated in the lobby. Officers took Eric Brox into custody. He was in possession of his mother's car and financial documents. During the investigation, he made comments about his seventy-two year old mother, Zoe Brox, that concerned officers. Lincoln Police subsequently went to Zoe Brox' residence, 8110 Imperial Circle, to check her welfare. She was found deceased in the garage of her home. The cause of death is not being released at this time but she appears to be the victim of a homicide. Eric Brox has been lodged at the Lancaster County Jail for 1st degree Murder.

Ask a question
Will gold mining be profitable in the future?
Gold mining output reached records in 2014 which are not likely to recur in 2015. According to the main analysts of gold mining sector, mining activity will stifle or decline marginally for several reasons.
According to GFMS last news, many gold mines are closing this year due to a lack of resources. The extraction in other gold mines in many countries is directly forbidden, given the negative environmental impact it might cause in the surroundings.
Also, cut spending has increased since the 31% established in 2014 turning gold mining into a non-profitable activity for medium companies. This in itself presents a challenge for new projects which aim to enter the market. This non-profitability comes also from relatively low gold prices which are unable to support high cost projects.
Long-term projects have been affected. Companies such as Newmont and Barrick have suffered losses; mainly the companies which started when gold prices were higher – prior to the crises – and still increased production and expanding more projects when profits were not as great.
Gold mining small-scale parallel activities, which could be described as illegal in some situations, have a drop in gold output of 5% since gold prices fell two years ago and still are ground down.
In the midst of it all, Russian gold mining companies gain from a low ruble which allows them to produce with the lowest production cost worldwide, as it was reported recently. Russian companies strike while the iron is hot and produce gold which could mean the supply for the rest of the world for years to come.
The clients of the Emgoldex online store enjoy the most profitable advantages on the purchase of investment gold bars. The clients can buy and create their own gold reserve which will guarantee them economic security in the future.

Outspoken Whole Foods CEO John Mackey, who describes himself as a libertarian, once again addressed the topic of President Obama's healthcare legislation, which he equated with socialism in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published in 2009.
In an interview with NPR's John Inskeep, pointed out by ThinkProgress, Mackey was asked about his earlier characterization, and responded with this:
" Technically speaking, it's more like fascism. Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn't own the means of production, but they do control it— and that's what's happening with our health care programs and these reforms."
The law's been controversial, particularly among smaller retailers that will have to provide healthcare benefits to employees for the first time.
Despite his objection to that particular law, Mackey told Inskeep that he sees room to cooperate with the administration on changing the way America eats, saying that Americans are "addicted to sugar, and to fat, and to salt."

Murdoch Rebuffed Christie's Refusal To Politicize Hurricane Sandy
Blog ››› ››› KEVIN ZIEBER
News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch rebuffed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's attempt not to politicize the response to Hurricane Sandy.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Christie praised President Obama's response to the storm. Murdoch responded by tweeting that Christie "while thanking O, must re-declare for Romney or take blame for next four dire years." The Murdoch-owned New York Post went further, demanding that Christie say that Obama's response to Sandy "would have been more than matched by Mitt Romney had he been president." The Post said that if Christie did not follow this advice, "the Republican Party will never forgive him."
Now, The New York Times has reported that Murdoch's tweet prompted Christie to call Murdoch on November 3 to personally explain that "amid the devastation, New Jersey needed friends no matter their political party." But Murdoch rebuffed Christie's explanation for why he had praised Obama and, according to the Times, bluntly told Christie that he "risked looking like a spoiler unless he publicly reaffirmed his support for Romney." Following the call, Christie reiterated his support for Romney the following day.
From the New York Times:
On Nov. 3, Mr. Christie called Rupert Murdoch, the influential News Corporation chief and would-be kingmaker, who had warned in a biting post on Twitter that the governor might be responsible for Mr. Obama's re-election.
Mr. Christie told Mr. Murdoch that amid the devastation, New Jersey needed friends, no matter their political party, according to people briefed on the discussion. But Mr. Murdoch was blunt: Mr. Christie risked looking like a spoiler unless he publicly affirmed his support for Mitt Romney, something the governor did the next day.
Despite Christie's re-endorsement of Romney, personalities at Fox News -- which Murdoch owns -- and other right-wing media figures lashed out at Christie following Obama's reelection.

Gourmet Dinners Sold Out
Thu 15 Apr 2004
Luis Valentin, winemaker and producer of our award winning Rioja Valenciso Reserva, recently gave a fascinating insight to Spanish wines at two gourmet dinners during March 2004.
At the first dinner, held at the presitigious Royal Automobile Club (RAC), Pall Mall, Luis enthralled diners with his knowledge of wines from the different wine regions (Denominacion de Origen) of Spain, using the wines from our list to illustrate his talk.
At the second dinner, hosted at the exlcusive Relais & Chateaux hotel Hambleton Hall on the side of Rutland Water, the focus was on Rioja. Luis contrasted the traditional, modern and avantgarde styles of wine making in Rioja, as well as the different grape varieties currently approved for making wine under the Rioja label, through paired tastings of different wines.
If you would like information on any future dinners we are planning, or if you are interested in hosting a gourmet dinner at your hotel or restaurant, please contact us.
The wines were accompanied by specially prepared gourmet meals by the chefs at the RAC and Hambleton Hall. For more information on the menus, please click below:

The drought has broken, says Morenci climate observer George Isobar, leaving behind brown lawns and some stunted crops, but conditions may vary.
"Precipitation seemed to be spottier than normal last month," he said. "There were reports of rain falling less than an hour's drive away that we never got. We had some rain that people less than half an hour away missed."
All in all, he said, Sunday's all-day shower was odd enough that it made you wonder what to do with yourself. Almost every other day this summer you went outside where it was sunny.
"I've heard that this area is about four inches behind on rainfall for the year," Isobar said, "but it's not that bad locally. Over the past 30 years we've averaged 15.3 inches from April through July. This year we've had 12.6 inches."
But there's more to the story than just the amount of rain.
"We went nearly two months with less than two inches," Isobar said, "and some areas didn't get that much. Add to that the hot, dry temperature day after day and some unirrigated crops are suffering."
The National Agricultural Statistics Service noted that in Ohio, the final week of July marked the twelfth consecutive week with more than five days favorable for field work.
That's the bright side of the dilemma, Isobar said, but a bad trade-off.
A year ago at this time, 72 percent of Michigan's corn crop was rated "good to excellent." This year the number was at 26 percent and falling. Only 30 percent of the soybean crop was rated "good to excellent," down from 69 percent a year ago.
Only Tennessee is rated lower than Michigan in the health of the corn crop. And this in the year of record planting as corn prices rise.
Isobar measured a total of 3.23 inches of rain for July, thanks to the 2.26-inch deluge that fell early in the morning July 27.

Posts Categorized: BU15 PREM
Monique Landrum and Juliana Kotsios from FC Heat GU13 Premier and Diego Valle, Giovanni Vargas, and David Linares from FC Heat BU15-Premier were selected for 2013 ODP Pro Plus Identification Pool.
Cal South, the official youth and adult state soccer association for Southern California, is proud to announce Cal South Pro+, the next evolution of player identification and development in the United States.
Pro+ combines all of Cal South's current and future elite player development initiatives and places them under one integrated structure. With the support of Nike, the areas of emphasis for Pro+ are the identification, development, inclusion and advancement of the top male and female soccer players in Southern California.
"We are incredibly proud of our history of success in placing players into the national team programs and winning national championships, but this is about taking a strong program and making it even better, said Steve Hoffman, Cal South's Director of Coaching and Player Development. "One of the great strengths of the Pro+ program is that it allows us to concentrate our resources on Southern California. Our camps and pools will be held here with U.S. Soccer scouts and coaches coming to see, evaluate and work with our players at local facilities. This also allows us to expand our professional scouting system and Pro+ will now involve more players, including those from underserved communities. Players that might have been missed or excluded will now be seen and included."
"We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Pro+ enterprise and excited about the prospects it represents for our players," says Cal South President Johnnie Garza. "Pro+ signifies a strategic shift on the part of Cal South to evolve our Elite Player Identification and Development model for the future. It is a progressive initiative which is adaptive for the ever changing soccer environment our players and their families are currently facing. It leverages our core strength of geography, populace and infrastructure to enable players in their pursuit of soccer opportunities while mitigating the barriers and burdens associated with travel costs and other expenses."
Garza states that Pro+ will open doors. "With the adoption of Pro+, Cal South is now positioned to provide diverse soccer opportunities to players not previously assessable to them. Essentially, it is an initiative inspired by our primary customer: the soccer player. Pro+ is part of Cal South's vision for the future. It will allow us to launch into multiple quadrants and provide practical alternatives and options for our player membership. I am especially excited by the outreach opportunities we envision within our Inclusion component as we advance the program."
The first Pro+ event is the Pro+ Invitational Tournament on Memorial Day Weekend. Elite boys and girls age group state teams will be competing.

The Carrozzino/
Guest post by Sean Lorre, the Blogtender's Husband
I love liquor. I do. I love the bite and the burn of a good, strong drink. Hell, I would down straight, over-proof bourbon with a dash of bitters regularly if it didn't lead me to lose my car keys while playing disc golf* at 3 a.m. or puke in a dive bar sink on a second date. (Rose, should I not say "puke" on a blog about delicious cocktails?) [You should not tell the world that you puked on our second date, is what you really should not do. -- Ed.]
I suppose the more refined way to refer to my cocktail proclivities is "spirit-forward," but since the watchword for 2011 around here is honesty I'll stick with how I really feel; I love booze. I've always loved a good Manhattan, but the first Martinez I ever had (Flatiron Lounge, May 2005) introduced me to the world of historical mixology and I never looked back. When a friend introduced me to this all-liquor variation on a classic Sidecar (Italian translation: Carrozzino) I was both intrigued and a bit wary. It turned out to be pretty damn good and so I share it with you today.
"Carrozzino," or even "Italian Sidecar," was not the name by which I was originally introduced to this drink. In fact, I can't remember what name my friend gave it; I just remember it sounded generic, non-descriptive and douche-y. But my traditionalist leanings led me to connect this recipe with the Sidecar immediately, cognac in the front with lemon and a secondary liquor back. We added the peach bitters to liven it up, as the Carrozzino lacks the perk of the traditional Sidecar's fresh lemon juice. However, I find this to be smoother than a traditional Sidecar, and overall the imbiber is more than compensated by the direct warmth of the cognac, making for a great wintertime concoction.
The Carrozzino
2 oz. Remy VO cognac
½ oz. limoncello
½ oz. Stock sweet vermouth
4-5 dashes Fee Brothers Peach Bitters
Lemon twist, for garnish
Combine all the ingredients in an ice-filled shaker. Shake and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
Tasting notes:
We tried this with Punt e Mes vermouth thinking it would be an oh-so-clever way to make the drink that much more Italian, but the result was
just a little too oh-so-bitter.
*"frolf," for all you Costanza fans out there

Rap! Rap! Rap! "Answer the door Mary Jane. It's probably George," mother calls from the kitchen.
When I open the door George is standing there. After he flashes his sparkly smile at me accompanied by a hearty, "Hello Champ." He breezes through the living room past the dining room and plops down on the puffy dusty-rose couch in our family room. But not until he stops and shakes hands with my father who is busy looking at the evening news on our brand new TV.
By now, George has helped himself to a handful of cashews from our, always full, nut bowl. Then, just to be polite, he joins my father and, within seconds, the two men become glued to the TV while they watch a disturbing seen unfold before them.
It seems a certain politician had abused, in all sorts of ugly ways, the trust his constituents had placed in him.
When my father finished listening to the politician's confession he turned to George and said, "This is a prime example of how power corrupts." He then continues to say, "If you destroy a man's reputation for personal gain you weaken your own humanity."
Over the years I often wondered if George recalled those prophetic words.
I would like to set aside my father's veiled warning that evening and remember how comfortable and welcomed George felt when he visited our modest home on Upland Road.
On the other hand, the Steinbrenner's house was far from being modest. In its day it was the loveliest house in all of Bay Village.
The first time I saw George's home I was reminded of a house you'd see on a luxurious southern plantation.
It was centered on a picturesque piece of property and near the end of a long driveway stood an attractive carriage house where their servants lived.
Although George invited me, several times, I only attended one gathering at his home.
That Sunday afternoon when I arrived at the Steinbrenners, George helped me out of the car. Together we followed the cobblestone path to his front door and, for one brief moment, I could have been walking into a colorful Kincaid painting.
The snow white house shimmered in the afternoon sunlight and violet shadows from massive, turn of the century, trees slid across the emerald green lawn. Yet, standing in the midst of such grandeur and knowing I was about to enter the world of the rich and famous all I wanted to do was go home. But, out of respect for George, I couldn't.
By 3:00 PM plenty of George's closest friends were being served hot Hors d'oeuvres, delicate finger sandwiches and genuine French Petit fours on a charming closed-in porch that stretched across the back of the house. And, by the end of the gathering, the crystal punch bowl was empty.
Looking back, I must admit it turned out to a delightful afternoon. Although, there were two things missing – a puffy dusty-rose couch and a bowl of cashews.

VCWS 4 Upper Extremity Range of Motion
Purpose: To assess upper extremity range of motion and work tolerance in the upper body, including shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, hands, and fingers. The work sample simulates light work and makes the following physical demands upon the evaluee: reaching, fingering, feeling, near acuity, depth perception, accommodation, and color vision. Significant motor coordination and manual dexterity are called for in order to perform the work sample at a competitive level.
The work sample elicits information on several secondary, work-related characteristics, including the ability to follow instructions, physical stamina, level of motivation, communication skills, and self-confidence.
The evaluee's level of fatigue and/or pain are assessed twice during the work sample administration and recorded on a color-coded upper extremity body chart.
The work sample is very well suited to various work- hardening uses.
被评估者的疲劳和/或疼痛的级别在测试执行期间会被评估两次, 并记录在一个颜色编码的上肢人体图上。
Design: Hands-on work sample hardware used to assemble nuts onto bolts.
Special Features: Scores may be interpreted against criterion-referenced standards, supplied norms, or locally developed norms. It is appropriate for use with disabled or nondisabled persons. A VCWS#4 B-Kit — adaptations for visually impaired or blind persons — is available.
Information Collected: The work sample has been analyzed according to U.S. Department of Labor job analysis techniques. The result of the analysis is a list of rated DOL work-related abilities and other factors that are required for successful work sample performance. Valpar uses Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) to establish industrial work rate standards for the work sample. Successful performance requires a variety of DOL aptitudes, physical demands, and other factors.
The evaluator uses learning curve adjusted MTM standards to determine whether the evaluee has demonstrated the work sample's Worker Qualifications Profile. Adjusted MTM standards for individual exercises are provided as well. Unadjusted MTM standards are also given for individual exercise administrations of the work sample.
信息收集: 按照美国劳工部的劳动岗位分析技术进行分析。分析的结果是,劳工部所列的相关工作的能力和其它因素的列表。 Valpar使用方法时间测量( MTM )建立产业工作速率标准的工作样本。成功的表现需要各种劳工部所列的特性,体能要求,以及其他因素。
Procedures: The work sample is usually administered with the evaluee in a standing position. There are eight assembly exercises (four each for the right and left hands), and one disassembly exercise for both hands. The evaluee picks up one nut at a time, reaches through the opening in the front of the work box, positions the nut, and screws it down snugly against the box. The inside of the box is divided into red and blue halves. The right hand works the red side of the box first; the left hand works the blue side of the box second. Finally, the evaluee removes the nuts using one hand at a time and places them back into the storage compartment.
程序:工作样本模拟通常是让被评估者在站立姿势测试 。有八个组件练习( 左右手个4个)和一个双手拆卸练习。被评估者每次拿起一个螺母,由箱子前端进入, 然后将螺母和螺钉下固定。框的内部被分成红色和蓝色两半。右手先在盒子的红色区工作; 右手先在盒子的蓝色区工作。最后,被评估者一一拆卸螺母,并将它们放回到储藏格。
The evaluator assesses the evaluee's fatigue and/or pain after both the right hand and left hand portions of the work sample.
Components: The work box is a 12" cube with an open back end and a 5" opening in the front. The five sides of the box are lined with machine bolts of various sizes, threads exposed to the inside. A box for storing provided nuts is included. The bolts and nuts are zinc plated to inhibit rust and tarnish. The work sample comes with manual, a pad of 100 scoring sheets, and a pad of 100 body charts.

Few constants exist in this world, but here's one: Billy Packer should probably not try to be funny. In his interview with SI.com's Julia Morrill, Packer bizarrely jokes about the games being "fixed" by the referees, which is pretty funny only if you find angry phone calls from Myles Brand to Packer funny. (You know, that is kind of funny.)
Here's the thing with Billy Packer: We kind of think we should all appreciate him a little more. Sure, he's borderline senile and a crotchety old crank. But jeez, the guy's an old-time basketball guy who played back when the shorts looked like French bathing suits. He knows nothing about anything that's happened in the last 30 years and doesn't mind at all. He's the sports Dick Cheney; grouchy, malcontent, intelligent and just doesn't give a crap. Get off his porch, you kids! We can mock him all we want — and he certainly has it coming — but come on: We'll take Billy Packer over, say, a Sklar brother, or a Jay Mohr, any day of the week.

Hey there. We've got our first guest poster today, with a fine and dandy drinking song to share and rant about. Everybody welcome Tom from La Dimension De Trastos. Take it away Tom:
"First, the caveat: I know very little about Gang Green. I've only heard a small percentage of their catalog, and never seen them live. I've never read their bio and I don't know any of their names. So why the hell would I prop them up as some sort of contemporary torchbearers of the drinking song? For the same reason I basically don't know shit about them. Until very recently, I had only heard them while stinking drunk. There was simply no need for peripherals.
Unlike the cry-in-your-beer variety, or even "happy" drinking songs, Gang Green gets to the point. And the point is, rather their point is, to get thoroughly trashed. Not tipsy, buzzed, loaded or any other semi-apologetic state of drunkenness. Just full-on, "fuck my job, fuck my boss, fuck my landlord and while I'm at it, fuck your landlord too"-type drinking.
Their image is crudely but effectively crafted, heavy on the beer references. I'm sure that's what initially attracted me. It's not hard to sell a record to an alcoholic if it's about drinking and has five different images of Budweiser on the cover. (I know there's five because when I was drunk I got out the trusty Sharpie and circled them; probably so I could spot them when I sobered up.)
While their music is atypical drinking music to most (one part skate culture, one part hardcore, a little metal and four cases of Budweiser), to a particular type of drinker it is drinking music at it's most potent. To wit, a sample lyric (from "Alcohol"): "I'd rather drink than fuck!" It isn't likely that a more declarative drinking statement exists. No, this is not music for lounge lizards, barflies or the anthropological "let's go to a dive bar" drinkers. It is the soundtrack for eviction parties (best peppered with "ashtray-missed-your head by that much," "if you're going to waste it, throw a whole can," and "why are there footprints on the wall?" type conversation).
So, honestly, I've resisted the urge to learn anything more about Gang Green other than what I've come across incidentally. To analyze their music (including this introduction) goes against their very substance. Luckily, effects can be neutralized. Talk to the guy hovering by the keg with the giant cup. He will debrief you."

Western Montana High School Student's Essay Comparing George Washington and Christopher Columbus Makes it to State-Wide Competition
During February each year, the Montana State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution meet to select the best essays from children across the state for the Christopher Columbus Essay Contest.
In 2014, students between grades 5 and 12 were asked to answer the question "How Do Americans View Christopher Columbus and George Washington Today?"
On top of gaining some writing experience, students can win some great prizes. The national winner receives a $1,200 prize and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington to read the essay at the Columbus Day event in Washington, while second place contestants take home $500 and the third place winner receives $300.
This year, Pinehaven Christian School 9th Grader Nathanael Roger Larsson's essay crossed the first hurdle and made it to the state-wide competition. His essay (transcribed below) is a good example of the craftsmanship it takes to break out of the first round:
How Do Americans View Christopher Columbus and George Washington Today?
Christopher Columbus and George Washington were very different in the challenges they faced in life. For the most part, Columbus was more interested in trying to figure things out himself and controlling everything himself, while Washington wanted to listen to God, obey God, and let God control what was happening. While it is true that they were thrown in entirely different circumstances, I can't help but wonder if Columbus would have done the same things Washington did had he been in Washington's place.
There is one similarity, however, in how Columbus and Washington handled one situation. Columbus was sailing to the New World, and his men were upset because they hadn't seen land in a long time. Columbus asked his men for a little more time and immediately went into his cabin and began praying for God to help their mission succeed. Washington was faced with the problem of organizing his troops. They were poorly clothed, inexperienced, and too few. Washington still believed he could get the job done though, with God's help. He prayed to God, not just for help, but also as an example. He read out of the Bible to help the men and to set an example, and he rode among them, encouraging them and boosting their morale. They both relied on God for help in what looked like a really tough situation, and came through to succeed. In Columbus' case, he found land just before the time he had asked for ran out. He ended up discovering the new world. George Washington ended up getting reinforced by the French, and winning the American Revolution.
Another situation that arose later in Columbus' life is where he made a major wrong turn. The Indians had ambushed and killed a group of men he had left behind to start a settlement. Even though the group of men had been harming the Indians and punishing them because they couldn't find more gold, Columbus was enraged. Columbus began imposing a tax on the Indians. If they didn't show him where the gold was, they had to give him a certain amount of gold every three months. The problem was though, that the gold they had found originally was what had accumulated over a period of many years. The Indians wouldn't give Columbus more gold because there was none to give. He also had several of the Indians killed to show the others what would happen if they disobeyed or rebelled. He was unwilling to let the Indians get away with anything and believed rigid discipline was the answer. He ignored God and made money the center of his life. The king of Spain wanted Columbus to find more gold from the new world, and Columbus wanted to gain favor in the sight of the king and queen. He was more interested in pleasing the king than doing what was right. His ambition was another thing that got in the way. He wanted to find gold, not only to give to the king, but because he wanted to make Jerusalem a Catholic city. On his journeys, he was looking for a new route to get to Jerusalem to help the Catholics take it over. He wanted to open the door to Catholic control in Jerusalem. He was more concerned with achieving his goals than doing what God wanted.
George Washington on the other hand, continued to trust God and do what he believed God wanted him to do. Because of his lack of men, he constantly relied on God to help them survive every day. Whenever the opportunity presented itself, he would sneak trapped men across rivers on windy nights so the British wouldn't get them, and attack in the middle of a cold night to capture enemy soldiers and whittle down the odds he was facing. He let God lead him in what to do and he continued praying, and for that he was rewarded. He became the nation's first president and helped this country become a God-centered country.
Christopher Columbus was more interested in gaining money, status, and favor in the world of men than in following God and obeying what he was told to do. George Washington was more interested in doing what God wanted him to do than doing what would give him wealth and comfort. George Washington is someone everyone today should aspire to be like. We should always follow God and listen to what he tells us. If we put God first, and do what we want to afterward, we will have a good life because what we want should be what God wants. Something we could learn from Christopher Columbus today is that, when we obey God and do what he tells us, we can have a good life. But if we start putting things of this world ahead of God and doing what we want, we will have a hard and sad life. We should never be more concerned with things of this world then with God.
Christopher Columbus and George Washington are viewed very differently from each other today. Christopher Columbus today is viewed as a person who originally had good intentions when setting sail in exploration, but turned out to be a greedy person who let money control his actions and become the center of his life. George Washington is viewed as a godly man who helped establish this nation. There are many lessons we can learn from both of them, and we should never forget the important things they did. Unfortunately, people today have shifted their attention on Christopher Columbus' and George Washington's lives from the fact that God was an important part of their lives, to what they did and their mistakes. Americans today don't care about the fact that they both were believers in God, and we should care about it.

Baby's photo on Imgur makes commenter think she may have hyperbilirubinemia
March 15, 2018
Parents can't help but share pictures of their newborn children through every means possible. While some might tire of this practice, it allowed one pediatrician to share some vital information that kept a newborn girl out of a dangerous situation.
A Reddit user named vespera23 was browsing baby photos when she noticed an adorable newborn picture a dad had posted of his daughter making a hilariously upset face after her first bath.
"Are her eyes a bit yellow? Looks a bit like it to me, but the whole picture is a bit yellow tinted," vespera23 wrote. "Probably fine, but jaundice is a symptom of hyperbilirubinemia in babies, which is very common in the first few days / week of life. If her eyes/skin looks yellow IRL and she hasn't seen a doc she could probably use a checkup. Source: I'm a paranoid pediatrician."
The yellow skin comes as a result of an immature liver, according to the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters. The liver uses stool to remove bilirubin in the blood. Babies experience irritability, low temperatures, and difficulty feeding if it is not addressed.
Vespera23's concerns were well-placed. The posting father responded that the baby had in fact been diagnosed with jaundice and was under the care of a pediatrician.

Any circumstance that could cast doubt or the appearance of doubt upon an employee's ability to act with total objectivity with regard to the College's interests presents a potential conflict of interest situation. Set forth below, both descriptively and by way of example, are the kinds of conflict situations each employee should avoid and guidelines for dealing with them.
Given the complexity and diversity of the College it is not possible for a single statement to be all-inclusive and by the same token any generalization may be overly broad. Anyone who has any question about whether a particular activity or transaction is permitted or prohibited by this policy statement should seek clarification from the Office of the Provost or the appropriate Vice President.
1. Self-Dealing Conflict - The possibility of a self-dealing conflict typically occurs where an employee has a significant personal interest in a transaction to which the College is a party, coupled with some degree of influence or control over the outcome. In such an instance the employee is vulnerable to the charge that his or her influence within the College might be used to advance this private interest or benefit.
There are numerous situations where potentially self-dealing conflicts may arise; the following examples are illustrative, not exhaustive:
a. An employee who has responsibility for or influence over the College's purchase of goods or services influences a direct purchase from an organization in which he, she, or a member of his or her family has an interest;
b. An employee accepts gratuities or special favors from any organization doing business with the College where the offering or acceptance of such gratuities or special favors could be viewed as potentially interfering with the employee's proper discharge of his or her responsibilities to the College; and
c. An employee seeks to purchase property, which the College has offered for sale to the general public without disclosing the intended purchase to the College and obtaining the College's prior written approval.
There are certain potentially self-dealing situations that must be specifically regulated. Acquisitions by the College by purchase or lease of materials or services from any entity in which a College employee has a significant proprietary interest are prohibited. An exception to this policy will only be granted upon application in writing, with full disclosure of the background facts, to the Provost for academic personnel, or to the Vice President for Finance and Administration for all other employees, as appropriate.
2. Conflict of Commitment - The primary professional obligations of full-time administrative staff are to the College. Consequently, a full-time administrative employee normally may not undertake any outside employment except after consultation with his or her department head or supervisor.
3. Use of College Name or College Resources - Barnard College's name, reputation and resources are important assets of the College. The College, therefore, has an interest in ensuring that its name, seal, and other insignias are used in a manner that furthers its mission and is consistent with its institutional interests, and that its resources are used for legitimate College purposes.
A situation in which a conflict may arise because of an employee's outside activities, affiliations, or concerns is when the employee seeks to use the College's name or the College's resources, such as its facilities or equipment, to advance his or her own private interests. The College's name, facilities, and equipment are to be used for the furtherance of College goals and not for the benefit of, or to imply the College's support of, a non-College activity. An example of the inappropriate use of the College's resources is the use of College equipment at an employee's disposal in pursuit of research for a private firm.
a. Use of College Name. In connection with their outside activities, faculty, administrators and other employees may identify themselves as affiliated with Barnard College by listing their College titles. They should, however, be careful not to imply that Barnard College supports, sponsors or endorses those activities.
Beyond denoting an affiliation with Barnard, no employee shall use the official title of the College, or any of its parts, in whatever forms that title may appear except in connection with legitimate College purposes. For example, neither the name of the College nor its letterhead may be used by any employee in sponsoring or recommending any commercial service or product regardless of whether that employee has any interest in the promotion. An employee may not use the College's name and address on stationery in connection with an outside organization that he or she established or of which he or she is a director unless the employee's participation in that organization is at the request of the College or is otherwise a part of the employee's normal College duties.
b. Use of College Facilities and Equipment. College materials, supplies, facilities, or personnel must not be diverted by an employee to promote an outside activity or interest of his or her own. The College may grant permission to an employee, in his or her pursuit of outside activities or interests, or to an employee of another institution or entity to use College facilities, but only where there is evidence that the work of such an employee, supported by College resources, will be of significant benefit to the College.
4. Use of Confidential Information - A conflict may occur between an employee's obligations to the College and his or her personal interests where there could be a misuse of privileged information for private gain. This conflict arises, for example, where an employee uses confidential information acquired in connection with his or her College-related activities for personal gain or for other unauthorized purposes. An employee who transmits to others outside the legitimate College community confidential information obtained in the course of College-sponsored activities is in breach of his or her duty of loyalty which demands use of such information for the College's credit and the benefit of its students.
An employee must not disclose confidential information acquired by reason of his or her College position or use such information for his or her or another's gain or benefit. An employee should not accept employment or engage in any business or outside activity that he or she might expect would require or induce him or her to disclose confidential information acquired by reason of his or her College position.
6. Disclosure and Consultation - In addition to those Trustees and employees who are required to make periodic disclosures of outside interests, employees are expected to comply with the College's policy of disclosure and consultation where there exists a possibility that a conflict of interest could arise. The policy requires voluntarily and expeditiously disclosing his or her degree of involvement in such outside activities by consulting with his or her Dean, Department Chair, Project Director, or supervisor before such outside professional activity is considered. An employee has an obligation not to mislead the College about the amount of time or effort he or she must devote to outside activities and interests. If an employee is in doubt as to whether he or she is confronted with a potential conflict of interest, the employee should consult with his or her Dean, Department Chair, Project Director, or supervisor to determine if disclosure is warranted.
Deans, Department Chairs, Project Directors, or supervisors, being charged with the duty of maintaining the integrity of institutional standards of instruction, research, or management within their respective spheres of responsibility, are obliged to notify the appropriate Vice President or the Provost, of any potential violations of the College's policies on conflicts of interest. Compliance with these policies is essential if the primary goals of the College, its commitment to excellence in the realm of both teaching and research, are to be achieved.

Having an MBA can give you an edge in the cutthroat world of business—but only if you pick the right school.
The wrong school could be a critical waste of time and money.
For our fourth annual survey of the World's Best Business Schools, we asked hundreds of American professionals with experience hiring MBAs to determine the best business school in the world.
They came back with a loud and clear answer: Harvard University.
Harvard pushed last year's winner, Stanford, down to number 3. In addition to the usual top American schools, international institutions like Cambridge University (#8), Oxford University (#9), and the London School of Economics (#19) also placed in the top 20.
The majority of respondents said that skills and knowledge is the most important takeaway from business school (69%), while 22% said that a network of contacts was a valuable B-school bonus.
Note that we only asked American hiring professionals to weigh in, so these 42 business schools are best for getting you a job in the U.S.
