Coyotes Dig Big Hole, Rally For Second Half Lead, Let Game Slip Away At Omaha
The road has not been kind to South Dakota this Summit League season, with just one of the Coyotes conference victories coming away from Vermillion.
But after a very successful home stand with three straight wins, five in their last six, coming into Thursday's game at Omaha, the Coyotes had confidence going against a team they beat by 24 last month.
That confidence was shaken by a slow start and the road woes continued for USD, losing 69-61 at Omaha.
The Mavericks grabbed some separation from the Coyotes midway through the first half with torrid shooting. The Mavericks hitting 8-of-13 in the first eight minutes, getting six players in the score book, keying a 13-0 run to lead by 12.
During the first eight minutes of the half, USD got points from just two players - Polly Harrington and Raeshel Contreras - and hit just two of their first 12 shots as a team.
UNO never did cool off in the first 20 minutes, pushing the lead to as many as 17 with 3:56 left. Taijhe Kelly pacing the Mavs with 14 first half points, Mikaela Shaw and Ericka House with eight each.
South Dakota did finally get a few shots to fall down the stretch before half, cutting the deficit to 12 at the break, with Polly Harrington's nine points leading the way. Lisa Loeffler, who had 17 first half points in the first meeting with UNO, was limited to four in the first 20 minutes.
It was a much better showing for the USD offense in the early stages of the second half, as Loeffler got things going with eight points in the first ten minutes, part of a 14-5 Coyote run, moving the visitors back to within six points.
Then it was Seekamp's turn to put the team on her back, with a trio of 3-pointers in a two-minute stretch, and all of the sudden USD had a lead at 54-53 with 6:17 left.
But Shaw took over down the stretch for the Mavericks with back-to-back baskets to put UNO up three, and the home team sealed it from the free throw line late.
Kelly was impressive for Omaha with 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting to go with eight blocked shots and seven rebounds, Shaw had 17 points, House with 10.
Seekamp led USD with 18, including four 3-pointers. Harrington had 15 points and nine rebounds, Loeffler had 11 of her 15 in the second half.
South Dakota (14-12/5-6) plays at Western Illinois Saturday at 4:00pm.

Loft™ font family
Designed by Julien Janiszewski in 2007
Loft is a large family of seven weights, each with an italic partner. Strikingly, counter widths for all the weights remain the same. As weights increase from Hairline to Mammoth, the characters extend by building stroke thickness outside the counter.
More structural interest comes from the way Janiszewski has handled the stroke terminations. In characters like the e, s, and c, they are cut on the same horizontal plane, while the termination of the vertical strokes and the over-dots of the i and j have been clipped at an angle.
Loft is space-efficient in lighter weights while making an increasingly stronger statement as the designs become heavier. Taken as a whole, the Loft typeface family is distinctive, versatile, and always intriguing."

This week, Bret was gone and we had to rush into production because of Brendan's work schedule, but we made up for it by bringing on Lindy West to discuss her various cyber beefs as well as Green Lantern, Super 8, Cedar Rapids, Quentin Tarantino, and of course more poop transplant stories. ENJOY! Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, Subscribe on iTunes, and download this week's episode here (right-click, "save as.") Episode notes and time stamps:
- 2 minutes: Topic: A-hole signs in yards. Really? Do people really think a dickhead sign like "Don't even THINK of parking here!!!" is more effective than "no parking?"
- 13 minutes: A great local news report on the subject of (*drum roll*) fecal transplants.
- 23 minutes: We welcome Lindy back to the 'cast, and discuss why Thomas Lennon of Reno! 911 and her are no longer friendsies.
- 29 minutes: Lindy makes a fan on Facebook. Sadly, his wife is not a fan, and doesn't approve of "slutty girls" friending married men on Facebook.
- 37 minutes: Lindy and I discuss Green Lantern.
- 40 minutes: I ask Lindy about Super 8. (Yay! So much movie talk this episode!)
- 44 minutes: Ben saw Cedar Rapids, we talk about how great it was. (It's out on DVD now!)
- 51 minutes: Discussing Quentin Tarantino foot-sucker gate.
- 1 hour, 5 minutes: Brendan made it on Lindy's edition of the Funbag for Deadspin. I read an excerpt about guys with lame commenter names, and it turns out said commenter is very upset at being made fun of.
- 1 hour, 8: We discover the perfect joke to kill Brendan, in that it involves farts, a poop transplant, and talking into a banana phone.
Bonus link: Here's that guy 'drunkexpatwriter' who got his panties all in a bunch because some other guy (totally deservedly) made fun of his username. I love how completely delusional everyone in this thread is. "Ha, you got them, bro, Gawker Media will rue the day."
Bonus related video: Here's that Fecal Transplant news story we were enjoying.
"Poop. It's a stinky subject." Oh, local news, don't ever change.

Linux Top 3: Mint, Martian Blueberries Fedora and Supercomputer Domination
One of the greatest strengths of Linux is the fact that is can be used to enable the smallest embedded devices and scale all the way to literally the most powerful computer on Earth.
1) Fedora 18/19
Despite valiant efforts by Fedora developers to try and get the Fedora 18 release (aka the Spherical Cow) out before the end of 2012, that's just not going to happen.
The Fedora 18 beta has been delayed again, pushing out the final general availability of the Spherical Cow until January of 2013. Fedora 18 Beta release is now set for Nov 27th with a final release set for January 08, 2013.
On a forward looking basis, the Fedora community is now voting on the Cow's successor name for Fedora 19. There are eight possible choices that the Fedora community will vote on:Cubical Calf, Higgs Boson, Loch Ness Monster Martian Blueberries, Newtonian Dynamics, Parabolic Potassium, Schrödinger's Cat and Tiddalik
Voting for the Fedora 19 name ends on November 15th with the winner set to be announced on November 16th.
2) Linux Mint 14
Though it doesn't have as funky a name as the upcoming Fedora 18 release, the Linux Mint 14 release is definitely something that many Linux users are looking forward too.
Now at the RC stage, the Linux Mint 14 release, aka Nadia is now out in both MATE and Cinnamon flavors.
"After 6 months of incremental development, Linux Mint 14 features an impressive list of improvements, increased stability and a refined desktop experience," Linux Mint founder Clem Lefebvre wrote. " We're very proud of MATE, Cinnamon, MDM and all the components used in this release, and we're very excited to show you how they all fit together in Linux Mint 14."
3) Linux Supercomputers
Both Fedora and Linux Mint are primarily aimed at modest usage requirements (though modest is difficult to define). Linux can and does scale far beyond its humble community roots to power the most powerful computers in the world.
Not just one or two of them, but nearly ALL of them.
The latest Top 500 Supercomputer list debuted this week and the numbers for Linux are staggering with 469 out of 500 machines on the list are currently powered by Linux.

Today is my Design Team day for The Cutting Cafe and I have a pretty neat project to share with you :) I apologize that this is later than usual - I was having a heck of a time trying to photograph this to make it look halfway decent. Some colors are just hard for my el cheapo camera to capture and it was too tall for my "homemade" light box. I think I managed to get a few that I could live with anyway :)
This week we were able to choose from The Hersheys Kiss Treat Box, The Hersheys Kiss Shaped Card, or the Heart Bag.
Well...Valentine's Day is also my wedding anniversary and my husband is a chocolate fiend so I decided to try a fun project I found on Qbee's Blog. It is a Valentine's Day Advent Calendar! That way my husband can have a "kiss" from me, in his favorite flavor...chocolate, everyday until Valentine's Day. Plus it serves as a reminder so he doesn't forget what day our Wedding Anniversary is :)
Here is the calendar. I decided to use the Hersheys Kiss Treat Box and just used the top shape to make my calendar topper. I sandwiched a real Hershey's Kiss flag from one that I had to eat for the sake of my project :)
Here is a close up of my calendar topper...
That cute little piggy and sentiment are from the C.C. Designs Animal Crackers stamp set called ... Hogs & Kisses. The glitter paper really is not that coral looking, it is more of a medium pink shade but that was how the color showed up on my camera no matter what lighting I tried! I colored my piggy with spectrum noir alcohol ink markers and used liquid applique and dazzling diamonds on his wings, they are very sparkly in real life even though you can't see it here.
Each one of the little numbered doors fold down to reveal a hidden kiss inside. The number tags are actually from The Cutting Cafe's - December Daily Numbers Printable Stamps. I cut each tag out, distressed the edges with my fingernail, sponged the edges with pretty in pink, added a pink bling gem and then popped them on dimensionals so you can use them to open the doors. Here is what the little doors look like open...
I had to dress up my little kisses with some of Regina's adorable Hershey Kiss Valentine Bottoms so in addition to my kiss, my hubby could read how adorable he is in a new way everyday :) Regina has a LOT of different holidays and occasions for the Hershey Kiss Bottoms, so you can dress up your kisses no matter what time of year it is or what your celebrating :)
Here is a peek at just a few of the ones I did...
These are so quick & easy to use, just print them out, and then punch then with a 3/4" circle punch. Then pop them on the bottom with a glue dot or double sided adhesive tape. I love them!
Here is a peek at the way I did my sides on this:
This is actually a border strip from the Love Story 6x6 Paper pack from Echo Park. I just cut it and it was the perfect width. The paper design on my doors are from this same pack as well.
Well I better get this posted! Here is the link to the tutorial that I used to make this from Brenda Quintana at Qbee's Quest. She is so talented :)
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check out The Cutting Cafe Blog and see what my fellow Design Team Members created!
Happy Stampin!
I will be entering this in the following challenges:
All That Scraps Challenge - Anything Goes!

Yack. SportsCenter's Hannah Storm suffered through a horrible accident three weeks ago after her propane gas grill exploded at home. She is, amazingly, returning to the air tomorrow for ABC's coverage of the Rose Parade.
Here's what happened:
The award-winning sportscaster and producer was preparing dinner outside her home in Connecticut on the night of Dec. 11 when she noticed the flame on the grill had gone out. She turned off the gas and when she reignited it "there was an explosion and a wall of fire came at me."
"It was like you see in a movie, it happened in a split-second," she said. "A neighbor said he thought a tree had fallen through the roof, it was that loud. It blew the doors off the grill."
With her left hand, she tore off her burning shirt. She tried to use another part of her shirt to extinguish the flames that engulfed her head and chest, while yelling for help. Her 15-year-old daughter, Hannah, called 911 and a computer technician who was working in the house grabbed some ice as Storm tried to cool the burns.
In the process, the AP reports, she lost her eyebrows, her eyelashes and half her hair. She suffered second-degree burns to her chest and hands, and first-degree burns to her face and neck.
Storm was taken by ambulance to the Trauma and Burn Center at Westchester Medical Center and was treated for 24 hours.
"I didn't see my face until the next day and you wonder how it's going to look," she said. "I was pretty shocked. But my overarching thought was I've covered events with military members who have been through a lot worse than me, and they've come through. I kept thinking, 'I can do this. I'm fortunate.'"
Storm said she wants to be back on SportsCenter by next Sunday. As for tomorrow: Her hand is bandaged up, and she said viewers may notice extensions have been added to her hair. She shouldn't worry. She'll still look more natural than Lou Holtz.

Still snowing in Bellingham, gusty winds out of the NE, temp about 31, 1.5'' on the ground at 150 ft from sea level. CT

Lake Stevens, 12:25pm, Elevation 300', approx 30F No wind
Well, thinks went from normal to crazy in about 1 hour. We have a good 4 or 5 inches on the ground, accumulating REALLY fast with 2 or 3 inches covering ALL roads. Anything from snohomish city north (and mainly Hwy 2 north) is a disaster right now.
Snow started to come down just after 10am, within an hour we had 2 inches, within 2 hours we had 2 on the road and 5 or so elsewhere and it's still snowing very hard.
Do not drive if you can avoid it. In my short trip to the grocery store and back I saw 2 accidents and 2 spinouts (only a 3 mile trip for me), and 1 stuck van with multiple vehicles not making it up our neighborhood hill anymore.
My guess, we'll see another 2 to 5 inches on top of what we have before this is done...it's accumulating really really fast.
I'll report again in a couple hours or when it stops.

East of North Bend off I-90, Exit 34, 700'
We had another 2 inches this morning. Right now we have low wispy clouds, but a lot of sunshine as well. It's actually quite beautiful. However, we are girding ourselves for another blast later this afternoon if Cliff is right.....and he almost always is.

Snowing in Ferndale, WA, and has been all morning since I arrived at ~7. Snow all the way up I5, increasing as I drove north. Numerous spin outs, some aid cars for injury accidents.
Snow and slush on side streets. Snow is very cold, turning from flakes to pellets (not sure of official snow type) but not hail.

Looks like the winds have shifted and the rainshadow is finally diminishing. Snow is starting to pick up on Snoqualmie Ridge.

Dumping in Kirkland right now. No accumulation - yet.

Hey Eric, can you post if it starts to accumulate? I have kids to pick up in Kirkland...
I"m in the Safeco tower looking east, and while we are in sunshine here it looks like most of the eastside is getting it hard. The downtown Bellevue skyscrapers
are fading in and out of view.
- March 9, 2009 at 1:12 PM

It has stopped for now (with just over an inch on the road), but I just heard some thunder, so we may be in for some more.

Weird. I was just in Redmond and it was DUMPING pellets (about bb sized) and then drove up to Sammamish expecting snow, and not a lot going on up here. Odd. We're right in the path, not sure what's blocking.

It's been snowing hard and accumulating in South Seattle on the hills (Rainier View neighborhood) since Sunday night. It's a winter wonderland up here above Skyway. This morning, driving down into Rainier Valley, and barely any sign of snow at all. It was a cool transition within barely a couple of miles.
- March 9, 2009 at 2:12 PM

Bothell 300 ft
It's a winter wonderland here. About 2" of snow and it's sticking to the roads.
If you work in the south end, but live up north, you might want to check the traffic cameras.

Now it's pretty much stopped in Sammamish. Seriously -- do we have a giant umbrella over us?

Just started snowing very, very lightly again here east of North Bend. Not dumping like it did this morning. It was sunny about 5 minutes ago.

So is driving from Seattle to Camano island on not super great for snow tires a really bad plan this afternoon? Anyone up there who could let me know? And if we do go should we bring a sled?

Sticking to the roads now here in Sammamish where I am. Coming down steady and the temp has decreased about 3 degrees to just 33.7.
- March 9, 2009 at 2:23 PM
- athos said...
okay, apparently it's weirder than that -- in Sammamish proper, it's snowing like mad. But we live up near Blackwell, right between sahalee golf course and the ridge, and I'm wondering why we get an entirely different experience than literally an eighth of a mile down the road in either direction. I have never been able to figure it out -- wind current coming off the lake and up the hill blowing it over like a wing?

I don't know where in Sammamish you are, but in the Pine Lake/Klahanie area we've got at least a 1/2" accumulated and its sticking on the side streets - coming down fairly hard for the last hour.

I don't know, but it's sunny again here east of North Bend. We've had about a foot of snow since last Thursday and it's not going away. Just unburied all my rhodies so they can get dumped on again.

Clear and sunny in Bellingham now. Temps in the low 30's.

Letting up in Sammamish, and the sky is getting brighter, so I assume this is winding down.

West Olympia, SPSCC (Cliff will be here 3/16):
9 am botany: A good inch of snow over all. Rhody leaves curled up, yellow-cedar droopy with snow. Snow is visible precipitation - see where it lands around trees and on maple branches. See why mosses grow there?
11 am botany: effects of aspect - S-facing slope now snow-free except behind plants, N-aspect still snowy. Snow slid off the yellow-cedars - well-adapted to mountains!
11:20 - sudden gusts of arctic-type(?) air. Compare insulation of snow & jackets to bare plants, faces & hands. Alpine ridges!
Perfect timing - snow during a genetics-ecology transition. Thanks Cliff!

OK....snowing east of North Bend now. And accumulating....I've already got one car stuck in the driveway, going to move the other to the road just in case.....I hope this is the last blast...I'm getting sick of snow.

Heat grill to high.
Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and on the top rack of the grill while the steak is grilling.
Heat grill pan over high heat. Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes then slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Fill each tortilla with some lettuce, 3 to 4 pieces of meat, onion, grilled tomato salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
Heat grill to high.
Heat oil in a small saute pan and saute the chiles, onion, and garlic until soft.
Brush tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides until slightly charred and soft.
Transfer tomatoes and serrano mixture to a food processor; add the lime juice and salt and pepper and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times (there should be flecks of cilantro in the salsa.) Transfer to a bowl.

Palmetto Playground, located where Atlantic Avenue feeds onto the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, was renamed last week in honor of Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch.
Yauch died last year at the age of 47 after a three-year battle with throat cancer. He is survived by his wife, Dechen, and young daughter, Losel.
Yauch will best be remembered as a founding member of the Beastie Boys. He formed the group at the age of 16 with Adam Horovitz and Mike Diamond as a punk band that played local clubs. But as rap music began to grow in popularity across New York City, the trio shifted its focus.
They adopted the nicknames MCA, Ad-Rock and Mike D and became an unlikely rap group, breaking musical barriers and achieving critical and worldwide recognition.
At a renaming ceremony last Friday, Yauch's mother said they were overwhelmed by the reaction to news of their son's death last year.
"Our friends said, 'we had no idea your son was so famous,'" said Frances Yauch, who attended the ceremony with her husband, Noel.
Yauch grew up near the playground that now bears his name, and even learned to ride a bike there. Mrs. Yauch said that when her son was young, they used to play classical music to instill a love of music in him.
"He loved music all his life, but he did it on his own terms," she said.
An early incarnation of the Beastie Boys used to practice on the top floor of the Yauchs' Brooklyn Heights home near the park.
"Me and Adam were hanging out in high school late one night, and we ended up in this park and he told me about how he used to play here as a kid," said fellow Beastie Boy Horovitz last week. "Adam was a New York kid that was talented, curious, and utterly awesome."
Yauch's music career will always be the most dominant item in his biography, but he was also a talented filmmaker, shooting several of the Beastie Boys' highly regarded music videos and directing a documentary about basketball culture in New York's playgrounds.
He was also a passionate human rights advocate and a dedicated Buddhist. Yauch founded the Milarepa Fund and organized the Tibetan Freedom Concerts. And in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Yauch co-organized numerous concerts to raise funds for families of the victims.
"We were so proud of the way Adam used his celebrity," said his mother.
John Silva, who managed the Beastie Boys for over 20 years, said Yauch had a way of inspiring everyone around him to be their own individual.
"Adam had the the ability to make everyone believe they could do things in a way that was fulfilling and fun and at the same time test the limits of what was possible," he said.
Following the ceremony, a man known for his clever and witty wordplay, was at a bit of a loss.
"Adam was a brother, one of my best friends for 30 years. Imagine if your best friend had a park named after him," said Horovitz. "It's pretty [expletive] cool."

Reader Refuses To Give Driver's License With Credit Card Purchase
Reader Brandon is obviously familiar with number 3 in the 10 Things You Might Not Know About Your Credit Card post, holding firm in the face of a retailer who wanted Brandon to give his driver's license when he bought something with a credit card:
Just wanted to let you know, armed with the Consumerist and a signed credit card, I thwarted the Best Buy minions who wanted to enter my driver's license information into their "fraud prevention database" in Virginia. When asked for ID, I pointed out the card was signed and that as a condition of their arrangement with Visa they could not demand identification. I demanded a manager who sided with me and processed the transaction without identification. Interestingly, I was not asked to sign at all (even the final receipt) which makes me less secure in Best Buy's transaction policy.
That's right. If your credit card is signed, retailers are not allowed to require any additional ID with your purchase. To do so is a violation of their contract with the credit card company. Violators can be reported by consumers to their credit card companies, and possibly have their accounts taken away.
With the high number of retail database breaches this year, do we really need to be giving these chumps any more of our personal information than we have to? I'd like to keep my digits out of the hands of the Russian hackers as long as possible, thanks.

This was bad. This was very bad. Princess Celestial tried to remain calm as she trotted swiftly through the corridors of Guadian's castle. She knew he was expecting her. She had received a message from him earlier this morning with some potentially terrible news. After she finished all of her royal business for the day she had hurried to the castle as soon as she could. She entered the "Seeing Room" and as expected there he was, staring into his "Seeing Pool."
"Guardian! What exactly happened?" she demanded worriedly.
He looked up with a flat expression and said " Our girls have been taken. I'm not exactly sure where. I've been working with Doc to figure things out." Celestia looked around for the young blue unicorn who held the key to her prized pupils heart.
"He's in the library."
"Well can you tell me what you have learned?"
He nodded and said "I still don't understand everything, but it seems a random portal opened up and sucked them in during their reunion picnic. It disappeared however as quickly as it appeared. We are not sure where it took them." Glancing in the pool again he said " But I can see that if we don't act soon then very bad things will happen."
"What do we do?"
"Doc is working on a way to target and reopen the portal."
"Then what?"
"Then I will go through and retrieve them."
"But Guardian.."
Cutting her off, he looked her right in the eye. "You know it is my duty. The very purpose of my existence is protect the Elements of Harmony and their bearers. This is my divine responsibility."
Celestial nodded and said "Very well. Just be careful."
He smiled and said "Of course."

Chill Hours
$10 Off Your Order of $75 Or More
Subscribe now for growing tips, special deals, and updates
The chill hour map is a result of research done at the University of Maryland. Use the map to estimate the chill hours for your area. Chill hours are roughly the number of hours between the temperatures of 32-45 degrees fahrenheit. Winter hours above 60 degrees are subtracted from the totals.
The idea is that a deciduous plant goes dormant in the cold winter to protect itself from the cold. The plant needs to stay dormant while the weather is freezing and then know how soon after it gets above freezing it can safely start growing. It must do it late enough so it doesn't get frozen back by a late frost but early enough so it can get a full season of growth and fruiting in before it must go dormant for the next year. The plant has a process, refined over millenia of evolution that tells it when to start growing in the spring and that process accounts for the amount of above freezing temperature (chilling hours) it needs.
Of course when we play with mother nature and grow plants in climates where they are not native, we run into lots of problems and this is one of them.
The following is an estimated list of chill hours needed by most of the varieties offered by Raintree Nursery. Most chill hour lists give such a broad range for each fruit as to not be of much use. At the risk of being sometimes incorrect, we have summarized the data to give an estimate that will be useful. Unless you wish to experiment, we recommend making sure you have several hundred more chilling hours than are listed to increase your odds of success. Many low chill varieties take less chill hours than listed below. For instance our low chill apples Anna and Dorset Golden need only 100-200 chill hours. Our low chill blueberries Sunshine Blue needs 150 and Misty 300. While there are low chill kiwi, raspberry, peach, apricot and almond varieties, these varieties are not offered by Raintree Nursery. These estimates are taken from the books "Temperate Zone Pomology", "Your Edible Landscape Naturally", "Growing Fruits and Nuts in the South," and from the Dave Wilson fruit guide. For instance Temperate Zone Pomology states that the chilling hours for apples is 700-1800. However growers in California have had success growing apples with much fewer chill hours. In Southern California, Kevin Hauser at Kuffel Creek Apple Nursery has shown that many apple varieties which were thought to need 800 or more hours thrive at about 400 hours and very high summer temperatures in the inland valleys of Southern California. Among the varieties he has had success with are Rubinette, Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pristine, William's Pride, Bramley, Arkansas Black and Red Boskoop.

Apricot 500-600

If you weren't convinced that the '90s have made a comeback, Weird Al Yankovic stunned Emmys' viewers with a mash-up of parody TV theme songs, from "Mad Men" to "Game of Thrones."
The singer, who rose to infamy for outrageous parodies of songs like "Eat It" (a take on Michael Jackson's "Beat It") and more recently "Tacky," a play on Pharrell Williams' catchy tune "Happy," took the stage with dancers and even a wigged "Game of Thrones"-dressed Andy Samberg ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine").
It was a hit and miss on social media, with many millennials just not getting it. Way to make the 30-somethings feel really old, Emmys.

A Rookie's Guide to Failing Field Training
Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith
"Forget everything you learned in the academy"
At least one veteran officer is going to say this to you as you begin your FTO program. And you know what? They're probably right! All those weeks you spent in your criminal justice degree program learning about tactics, law, procedure, ethics, human behavior, report writing, firearms and traffic stop procedures from that dedicated cadre of police trainers? Forget it all! Those guys are working at the academy for gosh sakes; what can they possibly know about "real" police work. If they are "real" cops, why aren't they working the street? You've completed the academy and you're now a fully commissioned officer, its time to move into the real world and forget all that recruit nonsense.
Assume you know much more than your trainer
After all, you just got out of the academy. Your brain is full of the latest tactical updates, current case law, new crime trends, and officer survival statistics. Your FTO? Probably one of those old, out of touch guys or gals who aren't up on all the latest knowledge like you are. No doubt they will appreciate you correcting them and interrupting them, especially in front of their peers or the supervisors. After all, you're just trying to help them out. You're the new generation, you know it all; your FTO can barely tap out a text, won't play "Grand Theft Auto IV," has no idea what Twitter is and doesn't even have a MySpace page.
Be impressed with yourself and your new authority
And make sure everyone else is too. It's a phenomenon we call "badge heavy." You now have the legal authority (not to mention the means) to take a life. You look awesome in your uniform, and you can tell that wherever you go, people are watching you because lets face it, they're impressed. That elderly woman whose car got burglarized? Tell her "just the facts, ma'am" and take the report; you certainly don't have the time or the inclination to reassure her about the safety of her neighborhood or listen to stories about her grandson in the Marines. And that little kid in the coffee shop who is trying to get your attention? You're a criminal justice rule enforcer, not a PR guy; it's embarrassing when your FTO chats with old people and kids and hands out those stupid little "junior officer" stickers. You're not here to be nice to people, you're here to protect them or arrest them, but that's as far as it goes. Show a little attitude, a little hubris; your FTO will appreciate that, and so will the community.
Be a rebel, FTO's and supervisors really admire that
Learn your general orders and local ordinances only so you can argue their validity with your trainer and the brass. Roll your eyes when your FTO corrects you about something you don't think is important, and all that studying he wants you to do on your own time? Blow that off unless you're promised some overtime pay. Tell jokes in roll call and make sure you engage in witty banter with all the senior officers. And don't get too excited about following the chain of command. I'm sure the chief or the sheriff will appreciate it if you take the time to stop in uninvited and give him some pointers on how to improve operations at the agency. No doubt your experience as the assistant night manager of the "Pizza Pit" when you were in college has given you valuable business insight that should be shared.
Take every shortcut you can
Some of the senior officers on your new department appear to have a way to circumvent almost every procedure. If they can get away with it, why can't you? Why should you have to study and memorize general orders just because your FTO tells you to? You can just figure out how to look them up when you need to once you're out on solo patrol. Why should you learn the geography of your jurisdiction and how to read a map, isn't that what GPS and navigation systems are for? Why should you bother to write long, involved police reports like your FTO is insisting on? It's not like you're going to forget the details of these calls you're going on and the arrests you're making. And why clean your gun after every session in the range? After all, it's just going to get dirty again the next time you fire it. Figuring out how to do things the easy way is one of best ways to get noticed around the agency; go for it!
Assume that no one will ever really want to hurt you
All that talk about officer safety and survival doesn't really apply to you. You work in a decent area and no one on your agency has even been involved in a shooting since you were in high school! Why should you read those Chuck Remsburg books, attend a Dave Smith class, or practice your repetitions in front of the mirror? It's not like you're in a big urban area where there's any real danger, and if you are, that's what back up is for, right? All that officer survival stuff is for the truly paranoid; your job is to look good, drive fast, collect a paycheck, push people around and impress the opposite sex, isn't it? If you're not sure, just ask your FTO, he or she'll will be happy to set you straight.

Johnson, Williams Lead Nets Over Thunder
Joe Johnson scored a season-high 33 points, Deron Williams added 19 points and 13 assists, and the Brooklyn Nets snapped Oklahoma City's 12-game home winning streak by beating the Thunder 110-93 Wednesday night in a game featuring the first ejection of Kevin Durant's career.
The Nets squandered a 23-point lead and allowed Oklahoma City to tie it at 85 before ripping off a 23-8 run to seize control right back. Durant was ejected near the end of the surge, arguing with Danny Crawford after the referee had already issued a technical foul against Kendrick Perkins.
Durant scored 27 points and Russell Westbrook had 26 points and 10 assists for Oklahoma City, which lost for only the third time at home this season.
Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo got a win against the team that fired him back in 2008.

It has been a while since I posted on this blog and I am sorry for that. Not that I have been too busy, I couldn't lie, but the last month was a little "odd" for me. After months of struggle with some thoughts on personal issues (not marital), I decided to face that I am not a teenager anymore and shouldn't be one for my entire life.
I am not saying that I am going to change overnight but I will work efficiently to grow and reach adulthood by 2015. I will then, reverse the process and work towards becoming a teenager again by 2020 when I will be retired and will be spending more time riding bikes with Sandra, hopefully up some mountain passes in Southern Europe. Looking forward to that!!
Now, for an interesting issue that we are witnessing, quoting the incredible collapse of the US financial institution, I am only surprised that it didn't happen sooner. I am also surprised that we are not having the same problems here, but that could be a matter of time. I am not qualified to talk or write about that so I am going to leave it to the experts but, as I see a nation (and other nations as everyone wants to have an opinion) divided with the agree and the don't agree on the US$700 billion bailout of Wall Street, I need to throw in my 2 cents.
My solution is simple, get the US Government to ask every American tax payer (and some very concerned experts around here) to vote and decide it in a democratic way. Those who vote Yes! would then have their income tax increased by 10 or 15%, for the number of years necessary to repay the cash .
Would the Agree folks change their mind? I think so... fast, very fast!!
Pro cycling
In cycling, I can recall the Vuelta, the Worlds, the new teams for 2009, all the shuffling of riders and now the news of Lance Armstrong's return to Pro cycling.
Vuelta a Espana - Viva Alberto
Looking at the results, one must imagine what the TdF would have been if the Astana Team had been allowed to enter - Astana x CSC/Saxon Bank.
The Worlds
Erik's last, I read somewhere. And Voigt wasn't there, a friend of mine complained... Agree, but to me, it was sad not seeing Cancellara. Nevertheless, an amazingly hard course, an impossible to beat Squadra Azurre, a wrongful inclusion of McEwen in the Aussie squad and a disorganised Spanish team made it possible for the Azurre double, with Cunego. Possibly, made a little easier by racing on their homeland, too.
Sandra and I watched last year's Championship in Germany. It was huge, I mean huge. We loved it, but it couldn't be as big as in Italy, land of Colnago, Fausto, Campagnolo, Il Pirata and now, home of Ballan, the 2008 Campionissimo.
And we can't forget Nicole Cook's win in the women's road race, backing up her Olympic Gold medal...
Riders re-shuffle for 2009It is normal for Pro riders to start looking for new contracts at this time of the year. Usually, they sign two year contracts with the teams and most renew them once or twice before moving on. This year, partially because of the association of the sport with drugs, a few major sponsors decided to pull the pin, resulting on the termination of a couple of major teams also.
In the other hand, new teams get formed. In 2009, another major team, formed by the Cervelo guys, will be entering the competition. The Test Team, they call it, will have aussie Sunderland as DS and will be headed by Sastre. But lets wait a couple of weeks for the full lists to come out and find out who is riding for which team in 2009.
Lance will be back
Well, that's also interesting. I am not sure why he's coming back. I heard, cancer awareness was the reason, which would be a good thing. As long as he doesn't spend US$15 million to set up a team and raise US$8 million for the Livestrong Foundation.
My training and racing
As I said, it was an odd month, or couple of months. Due to a series of events, including the incident with the van, my focus on training and racing disappeared. I missed or was going to miss some great events so I could not see any point on getting on the bike... Well, not like that. I did keep riding and racing but just for a bit of fun. Without any pressure. And that was a good thing. If it was cold or I was tired, I just stayed in bed.
The last few rides have been with the Mt Nebo friends, Wednesdays for fast efforts on the series of inclines and Thursdays for strenght work (slow cadence on the 53) on the same hills, all fun. That is all a pre-training program as I am about to start the preparation for the 2008 Tour of Bright.In fact, I haven't decided if I am going to Bright or not and still haven't decided if I am going to keep racing the bike, or not. For now, I will keep riding (hard sometimes) and having fun.
A Grade at Lakeside: Finishing top 6, officials don't give a s..t!
B-day gifts, Yeah!!
My B-day Dinner (1), Yeah!!

I spent my high school years growing up in a small town in Northern California. Though I was a good student, there were very few resources to help me choose a financially feasible course to college, so I decided to join the United States Marine Corps. I served in the Marine Corps from 1991 to 1997 completing many tours including Desert Hope, Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
After my honorable discharge from the military, I expected that my service would make me a sought-after candidate. Instead, I found that both companies and society did not always look favorably upon this first Gulf War or the servicemen or women involved.
After changing jobs a number of times and exploring a number of industries, I decided to go back to school and focus on interior design and architectural design. I developed a passion for green and universal design for all and envisioned creating a design firm focusing on these two areas.
I first started looking for a position when I graduated in 2009, but at the height of the economic recession, there were no positions available. It was at this time that I found out about Goodwill of Orange County and their microenterprise development program. The 15-week course provided valuable information about getting a business started. Each class had a guest speaker that I not only learned from, but also used as a networking resource.
While I was taking the course, I was involved with the local American Legion post in my area and recognized an opportunity to meet their security needs for their facility and their events. Using the knowledge I was gaining through Goodwill's future business owner's course, I temporarily changed my course and began developing Semper Fi Security, Inc.
Semper Fi Security provides many services, such as parking and traffic control as well as greeters and watchmen. For the American Legion Post, it was able to ensure proper membership, sign-in of their guests and parking control. In addition to myself, Semper Fi Security has been able to provide part time positions for eight additional veterans. With a recent contract for vessel charters, boating and entertainment companies, I expect to hire many more former veterans and their immediate families.
I continue to be active in Goodwill's services by participating in the follow-up membership program Goodwill Business Connections. While my dream is still to design a better world through architecture and interiors, I am enjoying building a new business that provides opportunities for veterans and their families that are adjusting back into civilian life and looking to receive positive gainful employment.

Jason, You have done the remarkable – turned an adverse situation into something VERY positive. Job well done! Thank you for your service. This country and I am proud of Marines like yourself – do not ever forget that.
Bruce Belknap
Great Job Jason. The world needs more people like you. Greetings from India..
Well done, brother. While there will always be the occasional critics of our military, never forget that there are many, many people not only in America but worldwide who are deeply appreciative of the service and sacrifice of America's servicemen and women. The critics haven't been there, haven't done the job like you have. You can take great pride in your service to our nation, Marine, and be prouder still of what you are achieving and will continue to achieve. All the best.
thank you
Thank you for your service Jason! Keep up the good work!
Hi Jason! There aren't too many Tobey families around that spell the name like we do. My maiden name was Tobey. My grandparents, Albert Thorpe and Ruth Tobey lived in Binghamton, NY. Any relation? They were my FAVORITE people!
I've been happily married to a Disabled Viet Nam Marine Vet for 42 years. He knows all about not being appreciated. But despite set backs, he also managed to start his own business at age 50. Unfortunately, because of severe health problems, the business has failed. The one piece of advise he would give is: "Know when to make a change and don't throw good money after bad." Of course he would also have me say "Thank you and Semper Fi!"
Great job Jason. Thank you for blessing Americans with your service and dedication and for making the best of a difficult situation. All the best to you and any future endeavors.

TechAmerica sues rival ITI
Washington-based trade group TechAmerica is suing a rival, the Information Technology Industry Council, arguing that lobbyists poached by ITI accessed and used their former employer's confidential documents.
In a lawsuit filed in D.C. Superior Court on Friday, TechAmerica says that three of the employees it lost this week to ITI — which represents companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft — conspired in their new positions to use old contacts and other information acquired while at TechAmerica to help ITI find new clients for its neophyte effort focused on government procurement.
Story Continued Below
ITI was not immediately available to comment for this story.
For example, one former TechAmerica employee, a day after she resigned from the group, accessed her company-issued laptop despite promising to return it, according to the complaint. She used the device to ask "the TechAmerica members to become ITI members," the suit continues.
TechAmerica is now seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to protect what it believes is a risk to its trade secrets — as well as at least $5 million in compensatory damages on top of whatever punitive awards it can obtain from the court.
"To put it simply, there is a right way and a wrong way to leave a job. We don't begrudge anyone for wanting a change but perpetrating illegal acts on your way out is not the way to do it," said Dennis Stolkey, chairman of TechAmerica's board, when asked about the document. "These three individuals and ITI have attempted to damage TechAmerica's service to its members through unlawful means. That is not acceptable."
TechAmerica's aggressive lawsuit is sure to rattle the already fractious D.C. tech scene, which finds itself in a major moment of flux. Tech companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft are realizing more than ever that they must pay attention to Washington, and each has spent increasingly bigger bucks to make its interests known to regulators.
While those forces have helped drive an explosion in the number of tech trade groups trying to lobby the federal government, it's also meant increased competition for influence, allies and yearly membership dues.
Those trade winds had pushed TechAmerica, ITI and a third group, TechNet, to the negotiating table to consider a merger last year. TechAmerica at one point had been the most forceful, public advocate of such a move, coming off a 2011 tax year in which the group lost $2 million, according to its filing. But TechAmerica soon pulled out of the talks and ultimately chose to select a new CEO, Shawn Osborne, while proceeding with a reorganization. Talks between ITI and TechNet also soon collapsed
ITI then announced this week that it had hired four key lobbyists from TechAmerica, including Trey Hodgkins, TechAmerica's government relations voice. And in a move designed to open both new business and advocacy lanes, ITI unveiled a campaign focused explicitly on government procurement — an issue that forms the core of TechAmerica's businesss.
TechAmerica's 12-page complaint, filed late Friday and obtained by POLITICO, details at length the whirlwind speed at which the group lost its lobbyists to ITI. The filing notes that four employees — Hodgkins, Pam Walker, Carol Henton and Erica McCann — all resigned Monday at about 4 p.m., effective immediately. The next day, ITI announced those hires at a news conference while unveiling its procurement initiative. The TechAmerica complaint states that ITI told those staffers it would hire them if a dozen of ITI's company members each put up $50,000.
The lawsuit claims three of those former employees — Hodgkins, Walker and Henton — inappropriately accessed confidential information in the first days in their news roles at ITI. McCann is not named in the suit.
Henton, who's based in California, "frequently used" a TechAmerica-issued laptop she promised to return, according to the complaint. On the computer, Henton "had previously downloaded confidential and proprietary documents to the laptop's hard drive, which she accessed following her resignation." And TechAmerica contends she relied on those documents and emails to encourage TechAmerica members to join ITI — and that she did so "at the direction of Mr. Hodgkins," who's leading ITI's new procurement push.
With Walker, TechAmerica contends she inappropriately accessed data related to her former leadership of its Health Services IT Advisory Group, a group of TechAmerica members that is working on "health information advocacy." The group says Walker used her knowledge of its members, which is confidential, to try to reconstitute it at ITI.
Ahead of filing the lawsuit, TechAmerica also sent ITI a cease and desist to ensure its new employees don't continue to use the allegedly stolen documents, sources told POLITICO. But the group still plans to put up a fight.
"As a member-led organization, we are not going to sit idly by and have our organization diminished because of the illegal acts of a few," Stolkey said in a statement. "Our members have put their intellectual and monetary resources into building TechAmerica over many years. We owe them a duty to defend their investments and interests from the unlawful actions of a few disgruntled individuals."

You can all exhale. A preview for the upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is here, and in it, unsurprisingly, Brandi Glanville says that she isn't apologizing to Adrienne Maloof any time soon -- because she isn't ready. In the clip, honorary Housewife Faye Resnick urges Brandi to apologize to Adrienne for the weird/insane/confusing fight the two had in last week's episode -- while Kyle Richards agrees -- and, well, Brandi just isn't having it. Nor is Lisa Vanderpump. And I've gotta say: I kind of see where Brandi and Lisa are coming from.
Here's the clip. Watch, then we'll discuss:
I mean, it is too soon. Even if Brandi were sorry -- which, I think it's safe to say she's not -- how can she go apologizing after the explosive fight that was last week's episode? Adrienne would tell her to beat it. It's too fresh in their minds. Faye may have good intentions here, urging Brandi to apologize, but it really just isn't realistic.
Thankfully, we'll know the answer to this nail-biting question tonight! Although -- do we even need to watch? There's no way Brandi's apologizing. That ain't our girl's style.
What do you think of the Brandi/Adrienne fight? Do you think Brandi should apologize?

Inara is due for her three-year rabies vacc in February. I don't want to give it to her. The more I read/hear about vaccinations, the more positive I am that she isn't getting any more, and it seems like rabies has the most vacc reactions. I know titers for the DHLPP stuff is okay, but last I heard, rabies titers aren't accepted for licensing purposes. Inara already has her license for this year, and they don't ask for proof of rabies vaccs anyway. I don't anticipate her ever biting anybody, but with the hysteria in this country about this breed all she'd need to do is jump on somebody and scratch them to be accused of biting, at which point I'd need to show proof of vaccination.
So what do I do??? What medical purposes give valid reasons for not vacc'ing against rabies? My vet is super old school and humors me with the raw feeding, and will humor me with the normal titers, but I don't think she'd like and write a medical excuse for not doing rabies.
Thoughts? Advice? Do I just suck it up and do the rabies?

Swiss company BMC has found a new focus after pulling their sponsorship from the top pro teams Phonak and Astana. They're now supporting their own continental team, BMC Racing, which was granted ProTour wildcard status by the UCI recently. This means that in theory, they can be invited to the biggest professional races, although the battle between the UCI and the grand tour organisers may affect that.
BMC Racing's riders are on the top-end SLC01 Pro Machines, and at the Tour of California last month, we measured up second year pro Scott Nydam's rig. 30 year-old Nydam won the king of the mountains classification in the race and shared in the 'most aggressive' prize that the team won after several gutsy performances. And unlike many riders who have made the jump to the pro ranks, Nydam has had the luxury of competing aboard the same equipment he used as an amateur.
"I came to Boulder and the first one to give me a ride on an amateur team was Nick Howe from Sports Garage [a local bicycle shop]. He was the first to put me on a BMC Pro Machine and I went and got some results on that bike. Also, he linked me together and introduced me to Gavin Chilcott who was in the process of building up the amateur BMC team. So it's like, within the BMC family, I just kind of jumped ship from a small amateur team to what the team is now today."
BMC claims its Pro Machine is the first carbon frame in the world to use Easton carbon nanotube-reinforced resins throughout, an ingredient that supposedly adds toughness and rigidity. Carbon is used almost exclusively throughout the frame, including the rear dropouts, integrated headset bearing seats, built-in seatpost clamp and even the moulded-in housing stops.
The Pro Machine is also distinctive for its unique Integrated Skeleton Concept shaping around the top of the seat tube which is easily spotted from quite a distance. According to BMC, ISC allows its designers to more finely tune how forces are distributed through the frame compared to traditional joints.
Nydam's bike is fitted with a wealth of top-shelf kit, including a Campagnolo Record groupset, an Easton carbon seatpost, Easton's lightweight EA90 aluminium stem, and a Selle Italia SLR Team Edition saddle. The wheels are actually hand built for the team and comprise Easton EC90 Aero tubular carbon rims, DT Swiss 240s hubs and DT Swiss Aerolite bladed spokes and alloy nipples. Tires are by Continental and Speedplay outfits Nydam with its 'white hot' Zero pedals. The total weight of Nydam's rig was just 6.95kg (15.32lb) when we caught up with him just prior to the Tour of California time trial stage in Solvang.
"I think as far as all the different obstacles I've had to deal with getting into the professional level, one thing that's been convenient is being on the same equipment and being familiar with it," said Nydam. "Ever since I've been on a BMC it's never been the equipment holding me back. I feel comfortable on my bike, I'm familiar with it. So I couldn't ask for anything better.
"I've seen things change a little bit here and there with the BMC Pro Machine; it feels a bit more reinforced on the lower end around the bottom bracket area, they put on a stiffer fork… so it feels a little more stable on the front end as well. It descends a lot better than I felt with my superlight fork in years past. It's a super bike. I can feel the difference."
After his impressive display at the Tour of California, what does the future hold for Nydam? "I want to find my ceiling," said Nydam. "I want to go as far as I can.
"Honestly, the first time I really opened myself up to doing the Tour de France was just in the past couple of weeks when I found out we'd received wild card status with UCI. So that means for the first time in my life I've been eligible and in a position where we could actually be at the Tour de France. That's not going to happen this year ... but it's well within the realm of possibility and it's the trajectory that this team is going.
"I would love to race at the top of the sport. So if I can keep pace with the program I'll probably find that someday."
Depending on how things go, 'someday' might not be all far off for Nydam and the BMC Racing team.
