NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The freshman season is supposed to be a time of adjustment for collegiate cross country runners. The distances are longer. The time demands are greater. The competition is better.
But don't talk about limitations around Sally Larson or Juan Gonzalez. Each won Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year honors in the conference championship event, putting exclamation points on outstanding seasons.
Larson, fourth with a time of 17:53.28, helped the Lady Bisons win their third straight A-Sun Championship. Gonzalez, who finished second in the conference meet with a time of 25:05.70, led the Bison men to the first A-Sun title in school history.
Both have been at or near the top for their respective teams in every race this season.
Friday morning they will both participate in the NCAA Regional hosted by the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
Larson, from Falls City, Wash., was expected to contribute to the team as a freshman, but her high school numbers didn't indicate that she would be so dominant in her first year. But Lipscomb director of cross country and track and field Bill Taylor did expect that Katie Bianchini and Larson could have a quick impact on the program. Bianchini was hurt mid-season and will be redshirted.
"Sally was ranked No. 3 or No. 4 on the freshman group coming in here," Taylor said. "I had a gut feeling that Sally was going to be good. But I wouldn't have necessarily predicted that she would be freshman of the year and top runner on our team in most races.
"If somebody had been doing a depth chart on high school performances they wouldn't have necessarily expected her to be our top freshman or top runner on paper. She went to a small high school. We train differently and the competition is different."
Some athletes might wilt when faced with a higher level of competition on a daily basis. Larson has thrived on it.
"Being able to train with girls who are really fast helps your times," Taylor said. "It carries you to things you might know you can do.
"Some people can get intimidated by that. She hasn't been intimidated."
Her aerobic ability is a natural plus for Larson.
"In a workout she ran 9.8 miles at Vaughn's Gap, where we race," Taylor said. "If she had finished the final .2 miles she would have set a school record with her time.
"She has some natural gifts in terms of her aerobic engine. She is not afraid to take risks. She is not afraid to push herself."
Taylor has been impressed with the way Larson approaches her running. There is no fear in her.
"She has come in and allowed herself to be as good as she can possibly be," Taylor said. "She has been quite brave about how she races.
"She isn't afraid to run against anybody. She puts herself in the right position in races. She still has a lot to learn. She has been very bold about her racing. She trains incredibly well."
The Lady Bisons were already successful and talented before Larson became a part of the team. Taylor is impressed at the way Larson was able to find her spot on the team.
"She came into a team with five girls who run in the 16s and have had all kinds of success," Taylor said. "She not only challenged the freshmen. She challenged the whole team.
"She has an awesome personality. Our kids are all awesome, but Sally is right there at the top in terms of personality and being a positive worker. She has made our whole program better."
Love of running
For most, running is a chore. For Gonzalez, it is an exercise in pure joy.
"Juan has a lot of natural ability," Taylor said. "He has a joy for life and a joy for what he is doing. He runs with a smile on his face.
"He has great endurance and has great speed. He has everything and is another great kid. When he understands what he is fully capable of he will be a threat to win any race he is in."
Taylor knows it sounds cliché' but he is quick to point out that both Larson and Gonzalez, from Lake Forest, Calif., are motivated by a higher power.
"Sally and Juan both love Jesus," Taylor said. "They praise God through running."
Taylor and assistant coach Dan Goetz have intentionally kept Gonzalez on a regimented approach to his running. He has not come close to reaching his full potential.
"In some ways we have held him back to work with the team," Taylor said. "That is something I don't normally like to do.
"But when you are a freshman guy leading your team in 8Ks I didn't feel like it was time to send him out on his own. We are developing him correctly. We want him to learn tactics, get used to the competition, the training we do and races that are twice as long as what he has run before."
Gonzalez wants to run in the Olympics one day. Taylor wants Gonzalez to finish as one of the best freshmen overall this season, but the ultimate goal is to have him running at the highest of competitive levels in his third and fourth years.
"Coach Goetz and I have talked at times this season about whether we should let him loose or ask him to move up during a race," Taylor said. "I am not one who usually dwells on the side of caution in terms of race strategy, I like to be aggressive. But in every case we decided to hold him back."
Gonzalez is part of a bright future for the men. The top four runners are three freshmen and a sophomore. Gonzalez was No. 10 in the country in the two-mile run as a senior and Christian Freeman, third in the A-Sun Championships, was ranked No. 8.
"It is harder for a freshman guy to make an immediate impact on a men's team," Taylor said. "The men physically mature as they get older.
"We get really excited about this freshman class. They are going to get stronger and stronger."

A group of 12 neighbors who live near or own a business near the former Magarity Ford site, 8200 Germantown Ave., have challenged city legislation that provided the zoning needed for Bowman Properties to move forward with a commercial/residential development for the property.
Bowman Properties plans to build a five-story retail and residential complex on the site, which will be anchored by a Fresh Market grocery store. Bowman negotiated for months with neighbors and members of the Chestnut Hill Community Association to create an agreement to govern the way the building will be built. City Council passed legislation in December to change the property's zoning in a way that will allow Bowman to develop the parcel according to its plans.
Dan McElhatton, attorney for the group of neighbors, told the Local that neighbors are challenging a City Council bill that changed the zoning of the property on the grounds that it is "unconstitutional spot zoning."
In testimony before Philadelphia City Council, a copy of which was sent to the Local by McElhatton, the attorney argued that because the zoning bills would benefit only Bowman Properties, it was evidence that both were spot zoning.
"Read together, Ordinances 110672 and 110673 present a clear case of spot zoning," McElhatton testified. " The ordinances seek to change the zoning and district controls with respect to a single parcel of land on Germantown Ave. Such spot specific legislation, done to benefit a single parcel developer's project, are the definition of spot zoning and should not be allowed."
McElhatton said the filing, which is on the Court of Common Pleas Docket, is not a formal complaint as of yet because Bowman Properties has not filed for permits to begin work.
Andrew Ross, a Hill resident and attorney with the City Solicitor's Office is representing the city. He did not return a phone call for comment before print deadline on Tuesday.
In community meetings late last year, in which Bowman Properties was seeking Chestnut Hill Community Association approval for its development plans, Bowman attorney Matt McClure argued that legislative zoning relief was not without precedent and was required to make the parcel viable.
Also, McClure pointed out, the legislation that made the market potion of the property C2 commercial reflects the zoning of the rest of Germantown Avenue.

If you have not read some of my recent posts related to this particular piece then you may wish to go back here and here for these posts will enlighten you about some of the subject matter in "Numbers".
I was presented with about 125 photos.
The brief was from a long time friend of mine, Robert.
I wanted to make a book.
He was emphatic that it had to be a collage.
He wanted it to be on his wall, every photo was important to him and he wanted to walk out of his bedroom every morning and into his home every evening and see his family and friends on the wall.
Dilemma 1: How was I going to present this?
Dilemma 2: 125 photo spanning 70 years – a mix of colour and black and white and photo's so worn with age that some of the faces were almost unrecognizable.
I overcame the dilemmas by separating the photos into subject matter. There became 3 distinct sections.
The piece had to be done in 3 panels.
Panel 1 is what I am presenting to you now.
Panel 1 was critical to get right as it was to set the standard for the next two.
This is not a piece of art about found images.
It is a piece of art about real people, with real stories.
Horrific stories.
Stories that remind us, in this century, to be tolerant of all peoples and cultures.
After Robert came to see where I was heading with this piece, even though it was by no means finished, I became ill. I get quite nervous and have so much pent up emotion that until the client see's the piece - don't forget, I get no direction - and verifies that it is favourable - it seems to take a toll on me. I am sure most of you can empathise. This particular piece was just so emotional for me. Robert had commented, just after, that he knew why I got sick. We sooooo understand each other - part of that heavy legacy, I was referring to.
Isn't she stunning.
She is certainly a heroine for me.
She is so beautiful now and from all accounts she was an absolute stunner in her younger days.
Esther was born in Poland and as you can see by the name plate attached to her photo. Within this piece I have tried to name places and people as much as possible. If there are no names it means their names have been forgotton or they are a repitition of names elsewhere recorded.
Whilst this was commissioned as an art piece I still felt the importance of adding the names dates and places of the photo's. It was not asked of me. But this piece will be a family heirloom and whenever I do my books or art pieces, I name everyone I can, in order that future generations will know who was who in their respective families.
So determined - just look at his eyes.
Now do you believe me???
But more incredible was that...
I ripped, stuck and then resined the papers (thanks for the instructions Ruth)!
Throughout his life numbers were important to Sam as they were to Esther. All this will become

Sharks pound Canucks to take 3-0 series lead
San Jose, CA – A change in the Vancouver net didn't produce a different outcome for the Canucks.
Antti Niemi made 28 saves, and the San Jose Sharks erupted for three third- period goals in a 5-2 win at HP Pavilion that gave them a 3-0 stranglehold over Vancouver in this Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Logan Couture registered two power-play goals in the final frame to go with two assists for the Sharks, who will look to complete the sweep on Tuesday.
Joe Pavelski netted the first two San Jose goals, with Patrick Marleau supplying the other tally during the third-period blitz.
The Canucks turned to Cory Schneider in hopes of reversing their fortunes, instead they find themselves in an 0-3 first-round hole for a second straight year.
Schneider missed the final two games of the regular season and did not dress the first two playoff contests with what the team termed a "body" injury. He was replaced in the third by Roberto Luongo, who started both games in Vancouver.
"Down 3-0, our lifelines are gone. We can't mess up anymore," said Canucks forward Jannik Hansen.
Clinging to a 2-1 lead, the Sharks broke the game open earlier in the third period by lighting the lamp three times in a span of 2:27.
San Jose opened the frame on a power play after Joe Thornton drew a cross- checking penalty on a breakaway with 15 seconds left in the second period.
Couture skated down the left wing and beat Schneider to the far side at the 1:40 mark. Marleau scored nine seconds later, cutting to the middle and firing a shot while falling down.
Couture converted on another man advantage at 4:07 to make it 5-1 and end Schneider's outing.
"It's nice to get the quick (goals), mine on the power play and (Marleau)," Couture said. "Big goals. Got the crowd back into it, got us going in the third. It was a lot of fun."
Dan Hamhuis scored for Vancouver at 13:12.
The Sharks grabbed a 1-0 lead at 14:08 of the first period on a two-man advantage. San Jose moved the puck around the Vancouver zone and Pavelski elevated a feed from Couture over Schneider at the left post.
Pavelski made it 2-0 when he flashed deft hand-eye coordination from the front of the net and redirected Tommy Wingels' shot 7:20 into the second period.
Alexandre Burrows put the Canucks on the board, hammering a cross-ice pass from Henrik Sedin at 11:07 of the middle stanza.
Game Notes
The Canucks have lost nine of their last 10 playoff games since taking a 3-2 lead over the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals two years ago ... Marleau has recorded at least one point in all eight career playoff games against Vancouver (7 goals, 3 assists) .. Schneider stopped 23 shots.

This makes my life as a blogger very difficult. I am struggling for topics to write about. That is why I am pouncing on this little nugget.
At the moment, Shadow has the 5% spell haste buff, similar to Improved Moonkin Form. That could change as we iterate further on the buff and debuff design.This comment was made by Ghostcrawler after a player questioned the role of Shadow Priests in Cataclysm since much of their utility is being removed or diminshed by changes in design philosophy. I find the comment interesting for two reasons.
This is in addition to Shadow's existing healing debuff and general priest buffs such as Fortitude.
As posters above have pointed out, we aren't going to give any spec a buff so powerful that they automatically earn a raid spot. (src)
- In the early version of the Alpha I commented on a month ago, Improved Moonkin Form was completely different then the current live version. The Spirit to Spell Power conversion was gone for obvious reasons, but the 3% Haste buff was gone as well. In it's place was a 6% buff to crit chance.
Given the problems moonkin have with capping haste and that one of our passive bonuses is haste, I wasn't surprised that they were taking haste off of our talents. It just sucked that we were losing a little raid utility. This comment shows that Blizzard is planning to give that utility back.
- My guess is that the new Imp Moonkin Form will not stack with the Wrath of Air totem. So, they are giving moonkin the utility back, but they are still reducing the base level of haste moonkin will have.
I am sure some shaman will be upset that other classes providing the Wrath of Air bonus but I've never liked that it was only provided by one class. My guilds have never had tons of shaman available so the 5% haste WoA provided was not necessarily a given every night.

I was going to give you my secret recipe for what I believe are simply the best brussel sprouts in all of the whole free world, but I am boycotting Thanksgiving.
Okay, I'm not really boycotting Thanksgiving. But I am a food writer and this year, I am not cooking for the holiday. We are going out for dinner at a local German restaurant in the country where the schnitzel is hot and the waitresses wear lederhosen. I kid you not.
And that is as good as boycotting the holiday.
I love to cook, to be in the kitchen with a ladle in one hand, a glass of wine in the other, flour in my hair and a smear of creme fraiche down the front of me...but not this year. This is the last year that Lucy will be four, the first year she spends all day at school and comes home with ideas so curious and wondrous and amazing that I barely recognize her and everything that comes out of her mouth.
It is the last year Edie will be home with me before she is off to a full day of school. And with two houses that simultaneously look as if bombs were dropped on each, my writing, and all the jobs and obligations that keep me bouncing around the house unable to sit for just a couple minutes, I want to give her my real attention. I want to give her eye contact, hand holding, impromptu hugs and more of that look I get on my face when she says, "Mommy, I love you so much I have to fall down".
I believe she will like this more than turkey. Even a deep fried one.
I want to not fret over the gravy or the new cranberry dish that no one will eat anyway because two people actually like cranberry, and sit for hours with my kids and my husband just being and not worrying about things that need to get done and lists that need to be checked off for me to feel better. I want to watch my mother teach Lucy to knit and do one of those really boring, impossible-to-finish 1000 piece puzzles laid out on a card table in the middle of the living room.
I want to just listen to them, to their laughing, their knock-knock jokes that make zero sense, their long-winded explanations about why they shouldn't go to bed. I want to hear it all and with the solid resolution that I don't need to be anywhere else, do anything else, pay attention to anything else in the world, unless we decide to do that together.
These past few months, I've been really missing my kids. Their babyhood is slipping away from me. I can feel it. I don't want to stop them from moving ahead, I just want to relish what I have right now for a few days. And a single dinner seems a small price to pay for such a luxury.
That's what I want for Thanksgiving. I hope you get what you want from yours...Happy Thanksgiving, my friends.
xo YM
P.S: If you get a chance, be sure to visit Liz Weiss at Meal Makeover Moms. I did an interview over there for her "No Whine with Dinner" column. Liz makes me sound nearly coherent when discussing food. I appreciate that.
PPS: Oh all right, here's the best brussel sprouts on the planet...You won't want to eat them any other way.
Butter-Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Boil a pan of salted water.
Peel off outer layer of the sprout, trim off the ends and cut into quarters.
Throw them in the pan of boiling water. Par boil them for 3-4 minutes. They should be a bright mossy green. Scoop them out of the water and lay them out in a baking pan.
Melt 1/2 to 3/4 stick of unsalted butter depending on how many sprouts you have and how soon you want to keel over from heart failure. Douse the sprouts in butter. Really roll them around. Add salt and pepper - be generous. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. You really want them over-roasted, so the ends are brown and crinkly and starting to turn up. If they don't look brown and crispy, leave 'em in a little longer. You can add a little more salt if they need it.
Stand at the stove and just eat the buttery nuggets with your fingers.

'I feel so embarrassed and humiliated': Korean attack victim accuses police
"They lied to me. At first they said the attackers were under investigation. Later they said they didn't know who some of them were."
A South Korean student whose finger was chopped off has spoken of his frustration with a police investigation into the incident.
Mr Chang, who is keeping his identity concealed, and a friend were attacked by a group of teenagers while sitting in Box Hill Gardens in Melbourne at night in September.
The attackers severed his left little finger and broke his arm. Mr Chang, who has worked as a designer and is left-handed, fears the injury will affect his ability to work in future.
"I feel so embarrassed and humiliated," the TAFE Box Hill Institute student, 33, said. "I don't want to go outside alone. I haven't even told my family about what happened. They don't know."
Over the past two months two other Korean nationals, a 33-year-old Sydney man and a 27-year-old man from Brisbane, have also been attacked, fuelling outrage in South Korea, with media reports questioning whether Australia is a safe place to visit.
Two weeks ago, French woman Fanny Desaintjores was threatened by passengers on a Melbourne bus for singing French songs. One man said "speak English or die", while another commuter shouted: "I'll f---ing boxcutter you right now, dog."
Victoria Police is continuing its investigations into the assault against Mr Chang after the South Korean government requested they conduct a "more thorough and fair investigation", capture the perpetrators and compensate the victim.
The Foreign Ministry of South Korea also demanded Australia "come up with measures to prevent future incidents", the Korean broadcaster KBS reported.
Mr Chang, from Seoul, still believes Australia is a "safe and good country", acknowledging every country has its share of offenders. But he said he was "unhappy" about the ongoing police investigation.
A spokesman from the Korean Consulate in Melbourne told Fairfax Media they formally requested Victoria Police to "carry out a thorough investigation that will also eliminate perceptions of unfairness and inadequacy from the victim and Korean public".
Mr Chang had declared he was told by police he was responsible for the brutal attack because he "was in the wrong place at the wrong hours", sparking alarm in Korea.
Mr Chang blacked out during the attack and was taken to hospital, where his little finger was reattached.
But the spokesman said that while police eventually apologised for the remark to Mr Chang, he may have "misunderstood the intention behind it, taken in the wrong way due to cultural differences".
The Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported Mr Chang was approached by a group of teenagers who asked for a cigarette. When he refused, they assaulted him while shouting the words "f---ing Chinese".
Mr Chang blacked out during the attack and was taken to hospital, where his little finger was reattached.
Victoria Police has told Fairfax Media a 14-year-old boy from Doncaster, Melbourne, was charged the day after the assault.
Mr Chang is now seeking compensation through the Victims of Crime Assistance Tribunal.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Monday night said it was aware of the media reports of assaults against Korean nationals in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
"The Australian Government and Australian state and territory police forces take very seriously any allegations of racially-motivated crime," the spokeswoman said.
"Regrettably, crimes occur in Australia as they do in all countries, and it is important to be very careful in reaching conclusions that they are racially motivated."

That's right, this man thinks I'm still number one.
"All the world is a stage," wrote William Shakespeare, in "As You Like It," in Act 2 scene 7.
As a journalist, there is a working theory that you are not supposed to become part of the news.
Journalists often times will duck out of a scene when they realize that they might be included in a camera's view.
I must have slept through that lecture in Writing for Mass Media I, where the ground rules might have been outlined, because I chase the image. I don't care if other journalists are in my pictures. Part of what I do, is place subjects in their context and to show who is covering the event. It's also why I photograph the entourage traveling with politicians, including their security.
It's especially true for politicians and at political events large or small.
So what's wrong with this picture?
Act One:
Monday May 18, 2009
I attended a media event announced by Mayor Martin J. Chávez' Chief Public Information Officer Deborah James who provided this release:
May 15, 2009Contact: Deborah James 379-2844
WHAT: Mayor Martin J. Chávez Joins APS Superintendent Winston Brooks to Discuss Upcoming Dropout Summit
WHERE: Albuquerque High School - 800 Odelia NE – Patio Area
WHEN: Monday, May 18, 2008 @ 11:00 a.m.
I called my client Ched MacQuigg Diogenes' six, whose posts feature ethical questions at Albuquerque Public Schools, City and State governments, asking if he wished to also attend. He did.
Upon arriving at Albuquerque High School, we sought out the administration offices to sign in, but were greeted by Principal Tim McCorkle in front of his office. He took a look at my three cameras and photo vest, welcomed us and directed us to the doors to the patio, between an APS police officer and security aide.
Mayor Chávez and Superintendent Winston Brooks each arrived with a several member entourage.
Chávez was accompanied by: Communications Officer James, two Albuquerque Police Department's Mayoral Protection Detail Detectives, and Mayor's Education Coordinator Paul Broome, who was already present.
Brooks, right, was accompanied by: Community Relations Office Executive Director Monica Armenta, center, and Communications Specialist John Miller, left.
Newly elected APS Board Member Lorenzo Garcia, left was present.
James, right, was handing out Chávez' talking points. I had to ask her for a copy. She apologized saying she had given a copy to my friend and thought we were together. I told her that we worked together and separately. She was her normally pleasant and polite self.
Chávez, Brooks and Broome made their presentation.
Chávez' big announcement was a restatement about the upcoming "Dropout Summit," May 29 and 30.
Brooks' major point is extending normal high school hours into the evening to help accommodate students at risk of dropping out.
At the end of the statements, Chávez asked if there were any questions. MacQuigg, below right, raised his hand. Chávez asked if he was, "media?"
MacQuigg said yes and Chávez recognized him.
MacQuigg's question was:
"The chief reason that kids don't come to school is because they don't want to. There are kids that will never fit the NCLB mold. And I'm wondering if there is anyway for us to offer a curriculum that is not driven by NCLB that provides for their needs? Is there anyway we can do it?"
"Absolutely," Chávez said. "No, what we're going to do with this summit, in all seriousness is we're going to listen to the kids. And then we're going to then combine the kids with the adults, heavily concentrated with the professionals in education. And then go through the process of dialogue. Then we'll submit the report to APS. Whether APS decides it's in the best interest of the student population to amend models. It will be totally an APS driven decision and its one I'll stand behind," Chávez said.
Chávez may have had some doubt about MacQuigg being a journalist as he said, "Let's take the media questions right now, then I'll be happy to stick around and speak to anybody that wants to talk." It's not his first time disregarding a particular medium, bloggers.
On his site, MacQuigg makes a big deal about how adults should role model the Pillars of Character Counts, here is his take of events.
This young man was apparently an AHS student photojournalist covering the event. His presence reminded me of how I began covering news In Albuquerque. It was a bit discouraging to have him see the law twisted to crush the press. I had hoped for him to see how he could move without interfering; how journalism can be fun and rewarding.
Associated Press Writer Heather Clark asked Brooks about the extended school hours.
Albuquerque Journal Staff Writer Andrea Schoellkopf and MacQuigg sat in the front row in front of the KOAT TV crew.
Other members of the media, like 770KKOB reporter Craig Kennedy who talked with Brooks, waited until they could have one-on-one on camera or audio-recorded interviews. Standard stuff; in the competitive news world, asking a question in the open allows anyone to use the answer. So, if a journalist knows they can get a one-on-one interview they will hold their particular question to get the exclusive answer. It's pretty silly, but in the dog-eat-dog world of what passes for news these days; that's the way the game is played.
MacQuigg spoke with Board Member Garcia who then sat with a group of students and was listening to them intently as they spoke in Spanish.
Chávez talked to people then left accompanied by Albuquerque High School Director of Student Activities Gabriel Antonio Gonzales.
A couple of minutes later I noticed a rush of a couple of APS police and at least two security aides come onto the patio. They made a direct path to where we were standing.
I hadn't been on the other side of overwhelming force in decades and had forgotten what it looked like from the other side.
"You have to leave. You aren't the press. You don't have credentials," APS Police Officer Paul Schaefer said in rapid succession as he took the contact role. "I was told you're not part of the press club."
"You're wrong," I said.
I looked at a pocket in my photo vest that has a clear plastic front. It's designed to keep credentials visible yet out of the way. Print journalists often wear credentials on a lanyard around their neck. However, still photographers prefer not to wear lanyards as they interfere with neck straps; so the pocket is convenient. I had the pass issued by the Secret Service last week for the Presidential visit to Rio Rancho visible.
"White House Press Pool," I asked Schaefer, showing him the pass?
"Never heard of it," Schaefer said.
"Ever heard of the President of the United States?"
"Vaguely," Schaefer said.
"How about the First Amendment," I asked?
"I've heard of the First Amendment," Schaefer said.
"As a matter of fact, when I…" I said, as I dug deeper for my own credentials, which list former and current clients and my own sites; there was also an old State Senate Press pass.
"but I've been told this isn't a public event," Schaefer said.
"Well it is a public event when you have the Mayor of the City of Albuquerque present," I said.
"I was asked by one of the administrators…," Schaefer said. "Don't, please don't." MacQuigg had raised his cellular phone camera and taken Schaefer's picture.
"Don't. Don't. Don't," Schaefer asked. "I'm just the messenger, OK?"
"When I walked into here, I was greeted by your principal," I said.
"OK," Schaefer said.
"Alright, he pointed me to where this event is…" I said.
"I don't want my picture taken sir," said Schaefer, as his attention shifted to MacQuigg.
"It doesn't matter," I said.
"Yes it does," Schaefer said.
Things got a bit chaotic for a moment as one of the aides started demanding that, "you have to leave."
As Schaefer focused on MacQuigg, I took a step back, raised my camera and took photographs of the officer.
A woman, who might have been a teacher or an administrator rushed toward me saying, "He asked you not to take his picture."
"He's a public official; he gets his picture taken," I told her.
We were then told to go the office and sign in.
I knew what was about to transpire would be an exercise in the educational failures of the public schools and the police academy's basic civics lessons and constitutional law courses.
One of the female aides insisted that it was an APS event and would not listen to, understand, or acknowledge that the City of Albuquerque notified the media of the press conference.
We were escorted to the administration offices and Gonzales was called for over the walkie-talkies several times, but he never showed up.
After several minutes of waiting for Gonzalez, Principal McCorkle arrived and Officer Schaefer started to explain what had transpired when Armenta came in asking what the problem was.
Schaefer said that we hadn't signed in. I told her that we were being ejected because someone had challenged our status as the media. She asked, whom we were, knowing full well who we are. She called MacQuigg, Mr. MacQuigg.
I first met Monica Armenta in about 1984, when she was a University of New Mexico Journalism student interning at KOB. I was a Field Investigator and was on patrol driving east on Gold at 5th Street when I passed the old Federal Courthouse on the northeast corner. I didn't actually recognize anything, but was compelled to circle the block. When I returned to the intersection I saw that a front first floor office was fully engulfed in flames. I called for the Fire Department, which arrived in a few minutes and quickly knocked down the fire. A few minutes later Armenta arrived with a cameraman.Armenta challenged my credentials when I explained that I was a freelancer. I gave her my business card and showed her my credentials. She said she would have to check to see if freelancers were allowed. She returned my card. I was struck by the statement that she would have to check; with whom? Armenta is Community Relations Office Executive Director; she would be the one who makes such a determination.
Her qualifications as a field reporter were as much a part of her outgoing ways, as was her ability to: read a script, to properly enunciate difficult names and places. We spoke and I learned that this was one of her first story assignments she covered without a senior reporter shadowing her.
She did an on camera interview with me on the par of a murder investigation. The cameraman turned off the light and turned away when he was satisfied that he had 10 seconds of usable film for a sound bite.
MacQuigg asked her if she understood what the media was?
She replied that she had worked 25-years for KOB. After a short stint as a reporter, Armenta gravitated to an anchor position and became a newsreader. Her corporate background seemed to be influencing her concept of who are members of the media. She doesn't know from freelancing.
I asked Principal McCorkle, left, if he hadn't greeted us and directed us to the patio. He said he had, just like everybody else who came to the event. He then said maybe that was a mistake.
The APS policy on School Police Authority reads in part:
Visitors must comply with the rules of the school.One would think that once the principal explained himself it should have been the end of it. Armenta disappeared and Schaefer backed away. However, it wasn't over, APS Security Aide Angelique McGee didn't understand what the principal said. The event was done, we were ready to leave, but she insisted on driving us like cattle from the campus.
An individual failing to comply with any of these procedures and/or causing a disruption of the educational process may be barred or removed from the campus at the principal's discretion.
MacQuigg wrote an e-mail to Armenta asking what credentials would satisfy her.
She responded, writing that the state police issue credentials.
From the most recent New Mexico State Police Media Guide, here is their definition:
Media CredentialsArmenta does not recognize or understand the history of local government issued media credentials. In the early 1970's governments realized that the First Amendment's first five words, "Congress shall make no law…" meant that not only was congress prohibited from making any law, but by the 14th Amendment, all states and their political subdivisions were prohibited from making any statute, ordinance or rule, "…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…".
News outlets are encouraged to provide media credentials for their staff members covering incidents or events involving the State Police. Media credentials may be requested for access to an incident scene. During your on-scene investigation your cooperation is appreciated, in consideration of the many tasks and responsibilities placed on our personnel at the scene of an incident.
The Constitution's "We the People…" is a limit on government and the Bill of Rights was added to assure additional protections. The media need not be a corporate venture to be "the press." Journalists are those who keep journals, correspondents are those who send correspondence and the media are those who publish or broadcast to other people.
Through my reporting I was able to confirm Activities Director Gonzales told APS Officer Schaefer that MacQuigg and I were not media.
Gonzales, behind the mayor, had left the press conference with the Chávez entourage. Because Gonzales doesn't know MacQuigg or me and the mayor and several members of his camp do know me, I am sure one of them told Gonzales that we were not media; I just don't know which one.
Apparently I am not going to find out. People who are in a position to know or find out have been ordered to not talk, and to refer all questions to Armenta, whom I was told was preparing a response and would contact me. It might be difficult for her because she had no interest in communicating earlier and punctuated the point by returning my business card.
A call to James seeking information and comment, late Friday afternoon went unreturned.
In a short telephone interview, Gonzales, whose responsibilities according to his biography on the AHS Webpage includes Public Information, would not talk about his interaction with the Mayor's staff that led him to tell APS Police that MacQuigg and I were not media.
"I want to refer you to the Communications Department – Monica Armenta, for comment."
I pointed out to Gonzales that, "Armenta can't answer the question; only you can. It was you who talked with the mayor's staff."
"I'm referring you to Monica Armenta, or the mayor's staff," Gonzales said.
When I asked if he wasn't in charge of public information at Albuquerque High School, he replied:
"I know that you appreciate the dignity of a person to hold a position. Have a good day. Good bye." He hung up.
Act Two:
Thursday May 21, 2009
In another media advisory James announced that the mayor would be lighting a new display in the Big-I. It is the finishing touch on the long delayed landscaping project.
The event was scheduled for the westbound frontage road, west of the northbound frontage road, just past the I-25 fly-over. I arrived along with at least two television stations; KOAT and KRQE. James acknowledged me and pointed me in the direction of the event.
As I got closer, Albuquerque Police Department's Mayoral Protection Detail Sergeant Louie Sanchez was standing at the foot of a gravel path. He asked me to wait a minute until the mayor arrived.
Chávez arrived, paused to talk to Sanchez then went over the hill.
I asked if Sanchez was keeping me from going to the event and he wouldn't answer directly. I asked him what he would do if I walked past him. He said he would issue me a "lawful order" to stop.
I asked him what would be the underlying charge; what crime would I be committing? He answered he was protecting the mayor from me. Sanchez said that Chávez was afraid of me, that I had assaulted him by pointing a camera with a big lens on it and that I had bumped the mayor.
I told Sanchez that I had touched Chávez only one time; actually he had touched me when he shook my hand the first time we met. I said Chávez' did not fear me physically, but feared my photographs that have immense political power to show him as he is.
During the Mayoral campaign, candidate Martin Chávez approached the City Employee Labor Coalition on June 30, 1994, and asked for their support. He made several promises; that he would unilaterally return the take home cars to police officers (he would later back off that statement and say he would look at the financial aspect of returning the cars). Prior to asking for the endorsement of City unions' Presidents, Chávez acknowledged that he recognized that Director of Employee Relations Bob Brown was an impediment to good relationships between the Mayor and City Employees. Chávez promised that on "day two" of his administration, Bob Brown would no longer be Director of Employee Relations. Upon being elected, Chávez reappointed Brown within a couple of months.
I spoke with Sanchez about which possible crimes he was referring. He said assault. I asked him, what element of the crime of assault was missing? He asked me to define assault. It's extremely disheartening to learn that veteran officer, six years a sergeant does not know the element of the most basic of crimes; the starting point of every violent crime on the books. Assault is the threat or fear of an immediate battery. A battery is the unlawful touching of another, done in a rude or insolent manner.
Albuquerque Code of Ordinances Chapter 12: Criminal Code
Article 2: Offenses Relating to Public Order and Safety
§ 12-2-1 ASSAULT.Sanchez said that my pointing a camera with a large lens on it was an assault. That he had seen me point my zoom lens at Chávez. Photography is not a crime, it is not a touching or an attempted touching. If Chávez is afraid of me, it's not the front of the camera that should bother him; he should fear what comes out the back, accurate depictions of him.
Assault consists of either:
(A) An attempt to commit a battery upon the person of another; or
(B) Any unlawful act, threat, or menacing conduct which causes another person to reasonably believe that he is in danger of receiving an immediate battery; or
(C) The use of fighting words which by their very utterance are likely to cause an average addressee to fight.
Battery is the unlawful, intentional touching or application of force to the person of another when done in a rude, insolent or angry manner.
I asked Sanchez if there were any police reports of these alleged assaults and the battery. He said no. I asked if there was ever a restraining order. Again no. I told him he had no reason to believe that I had committed a crime or was about to and did he know he was engaging in a form of censorship, prior restraint by denying access.
There is no probable cause to arrest me. There is just raw abuse of power to keep me from doing my job; photographing and reporting on the mayor. There is no "lawful order" Sanchez can issue.
Sanchez asked me if I knew what qualified immunity was. I said I did. Qualified immunity is the theory that a citizen may not sue the King without his permission. It applies to government and their agents in certain situations.
He said he'd talked to "the lawyers" who advised him he had qualified immunity. I asked him the name of the lawyer, but he wouldn't answer.
What Sanchez was alluding to was that he could violate my rights and keep me from covering the mayor. He was suggesting that he could get away with violating civil rights and I would not be able to get him into court. Qualified immunity might be applied in State District Court.
What Sanchez doesn't seem to realize is that an imposition on the free press is in the jurisdiction of the Federal District court, which would not recognize his qualified immunity.
However, what Sanchez had been told was to assure him that should he violate anyone's rights, the City would fully defend him and for him to do what he thought he needed to do whether legal or not. I've heard it before.
Lawyers who gave Sanchez such advise are fundamentally corrupt because they ignore the Constitution.
I invited Sanchez to gather up all the information on all the events where the mayor thinks he was assaulted write up an affidavit for an arrest warrant and let's go test it in court. I'll bring all my pictures from each event and let a jury decide. I would welcome the opportunity to cross-examine Chávez. A restraining order could also be tested in court and Chávez could be made to testify to the allegations used to apply for such an order.
I had to photograph the lighting event from an unacceptable distance.
As Chávez returned to the highway with his officer-driver, Sanchez went to move an orange barrel.
Chávez stood in the open door of his SUV and yelled at Sanchez about me, "Didn't he use to be a police officer? Finished his career the way he started it…", a car went by and muffled what he said next. When I could hear him again Chávez was laughing.
Act Three: Actually a differed prologue.
A couple of weeks ago I had lunch with the mayor. Ok, I had lunch in the same room at the Standard Diner, not the same table.
Chávez was with a group that included former Governor Toney Anaya who is coordinating the Federal stimulus money coming to New Mexico. I was with a number of journalistic colleagues. When I arrived the owner noticed my camera and said please don't harass the mayor. It seems one of my group was recognized and when told the mayor was present, had joked that he got in the mayor's face regularly. So, the owner was concerned and our independent joking was not appreciated. I noticed the two officers that would be at AHS sitting a couple of booths from us and across the room from the politicos. Holmes passed our table and one of my buddies told me that he had given me a hard stare. I had not seen it because I had my back to him.
At one point, Chávez got up and walked towards our table having spotted the broadcaster, but turned away, walking around another table when he saw me. My friends noticed and told me they thought it weird.
My Take
The man making the obscene gesture at the top of this post is Albuquerque Police Department's Mayor's Protection Detail Detective Aaron Holmes. You've met him before when he threw me out of a news conference a year ago. See that post here.
Holmes, above left, was in the crowd of guests and press waiting to attend Democratic Party presidential candidate Barack Obama's visit to the main public library.
It's not the first time someone from the Mayor's Protection Detail has flipped me off. I initially took it as a sign of endearment. I immediately thought that it was as uncool as it was, I would simply send the picture to Chief Ray Schultz and tell him, you deal with this before I deal with this.
It wasn't the first time someone from this detail had indicated that I was number one. Sgt. Sanchez and I have taken each others pictures in what I considered a fun exchange. It might have been taken for the detail's intelligence file, to show temporarily assigned officers who Bralley is.
As a former police union president and representative at many officers' disciplinary actions, I am loath to file a complaint against a brother officer. However, just like when I was on the job, there is a line that I would not allow any officer to cross. The action went beyond the pale when APS responded to throw MacQuigg and me off campus by Officer Schaefer. Schaefer said an administrator, later identified as Gonzales, soft confirmed he learned from the mayor's entourage that, "we were not the media."
Whether Holms or his unidentified partner made the comment or whether it was Chávez or James who told Gonzales, both officers have a duty and an obligation to uphold the constitutional rights of journalists, any and all journalists, whether a politician considers their reporting as good, bad, fair or unfair.
I sent Albuquerque Police Department's Public Information Officer John Walsh, above, an attached photo of the second officer, requesting his identity. I contacted him by phone a couple of days later. Walsh had not checked his e-mail in the preceding days. He said he would attempt to identify the officer and would get back in touch. Consistent with his past practices, Walsh did not get back to me.
It's been 35 years since I provided personal security when I worked as a courtroom security deputy for Prince George's Maryland's Sheriff's Department. However, one thing that I learned and would later teach had to do with remaining emotionally detached from your law enforcement duties. Loyalty must be to the principle over ideologue over personality. The force of Chávez' personality has subsumed the mayor's protection detail and the officers are trying to protect him from politics rather than physical threat. Thirty-five years may sound like a long time, but human nature has changed very little over the millennia.
Ambivalence is a crucial part of the protection effort. When an officer's sense of loyalty is compromised and they are willing to indulge the political paranoia of the protected individual, their ability to remain objective is a crack in the invisible cloak and can become a distraction that might be capitalized upon by real physical threats.
It's past time for the chief to make a wholesale housecleaning of the Mayoral Protection Detail Detectives.
As for the distance factor with the mayor, different people have different comfort zones. Chávez' claim that he is uncomfortable with me must have to do with it being me as he will stand close to and often surrounds himself with political allies and subordinates at many of his staged photo opportunities. He clearly doesn't mind people being close.
During the last political campaign season, I worked on a personal project for a self-promotion piece.
In amassing photos of various candidates and politicians eyes, I've never gotten such a close up shot of Chávez. Most of the pictures I took for this project were taken over the shoulder of other journalist from a distance of no less than five feet.
Note: A Joe Monahan type free lunch contest to the first person that accurately identifies all nine. Contest not open to Joe Monahan, or anyone associated with any of those pictured. They were all taken during the past few years on New Mexico's political scene. Yes, there is a trick embedded in the question.
I have been close to Chávez on two occasions, both at the University of New Mexico. During the 2003 Democratic Party's first debate by declared candidates for their party's presidential nomination at Popejoy Hall, Chávez confronted a number of Gen. Wesley Clark supporters. I moved in close to Chávez to juxtapose him next to the demonstrators. He noticed a camera and started to pose at which time I lowered my camera. He recognized me, disengaged from the group mid sentence, walked away and said, "It's the guy." This was the closest that I have moved on Chávez. He has moved closer to me.
The second event, Aug. 21, 2007, Chávez and University President David Schmidly, announced that ABQ Ride busses would provide students free rides to campus. After the mayor and Schmidly took questions from a KUNM Reporter, Chávez walked by me very closely. There was adequate room between the bus and me, however he walked into my personal space. I did not move my feet, but as my auto focus lens slammed to the minimum focus distance I leaned backwards to keep him in focus and take his picture.
Chávez spoke to Sanchez, right, telling him, "This guy's problems…" and it was the first time I heard that "He is afraid of you," according to both Sanchez and Spokeswoman James. I was not allowed on the bus with the other members of the media.
Sanchez told me that he downloaded the similar picture that appeared in the posting because he liked it so much and has it at his desk. I was closer to Sanchez than Chávez and he had no problem.
I tend not to crowd Chávez for two other reasons: he's not very tall; if I get too close, my camera angle will be pointed slightly downward extenuating his height, and because he has bald spots, it's just not kind.
According to the Nikon website the long lens I use as my standard telephoto is the AF Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm f/2.8D ED. Its minimum focus distance is 4.9 ft. (1.5m) and its dimensions are 3.4x7.4 in. (diameter x length).
My standard wide angle to short telephoto zoom lens I use is the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED. Its minimum focus distance is 1.18 ft. (.36m) or a little more than 14 inches and its dimensions are 3.4x4.4in. (diameter x length).
Maybe I'll just have to bring my 800mm lens to the next outdoor event and stand off beyond its 26-foot minimum focus distance to make a working portrait of Chávez. Then he couldn't claim that I was up in his face and still get the wrinkles around his eyes, his receding hairline and show him as he really is.
Chávez has displayed no problems during events when he is with other more senior politicians. He only asserts himself when he is in control. I have been present without issue with major politicians including: President Barack Obama and when he was both his Party's nominee and earlier as a candidate for nomination,
with former President Bill Clinton, Sen. Hilary Clinton,
with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, in white shirt, at a Patricia Madrid for Congress rally,
Denver Mayor Fredrico Pena,
with Gov. Bill Richardson, and the New Mexico Democratic Dem. Congressional delegation.
Detective Holms, right, said nothing nor made any kind of movement or gesture,
even when at one point I sat at Chávez' feet,
and at New Mexico Democratic Party gatherings.
Chávez, above left, cheerleading Sen. Hilary Clinton at her Saturday Feb. 2, 2008 rally; right, he introduced Obama Aug. 18, at the main public library.
Chávez' security detail has never expressed any fear about me.
It is not uncommon for an officer providing security to place themself between the threat and the protected person. However, seldom is that the case ever since I first heard Chávez say that I was a "trouble maker."
So the reasonable question is why does he feel more secure amongst the luminaries? Could it be that because the major politicos don't know me or worry about coverage from anyone, that he won't embarrass them by making a scene? If Chávez doesn't feel his security detail is capable of assuaging his fears, maybe it's time to get bigger individuals who engender greater confidence.
As for the Albuquerque Public Schools' personnel and in particular Albuquerque High School employees, they were unwittingly taken in by the slander of the mayor's group that we were not media.
Principal McCorkle was gracious, even if he was unaware of what impropriety was being done under his authority.
AHS Activity Director Gonzales and APS Police Officer Schaefer's approach of ordering us to leave before determining facts from their own independent investigations makes them rubes; simple tools of the mayor.
Schaefer's fellow APS officer, whose identity I was unable to establish, appropriately covered him. She clearly was uncomfortable by the unnecessarily confrontational interaction Schaefer engaged in. She left and went about her business as soon as possible after we were escorted to the office. Schaefer never even asked us our names.
APS security and police personnel failed to comply with policy, especially, "With this authority comes constitutional and statutory responsibilities and limitations." Schaefer's move was not based on all the available facts. The selective enforcement and excuse that we did not have a visitor's pass fails because there was not a single visitor's pass displayed by anyone else at the press conference.
School Police AuthorityAPS Security Aide McGee was inside my personal space as she escorted us to the parking lot. She seemed to be trying to step on my heels except when she was distracted by two incidents involving students.
School Police officers are certified and commissioned law enforcement officers with comparable police authority to the Albuquerque Police Department's officers and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department's deputies. As such, they have the authority to make arrests. With this authority comes constitutional and statutory responsibilities and limitations. The decision to arrest lies solely with the officer who will or will not make the arrest based upon the facts known to the officer at the time. Generally, a police officer cannot arrest for a violation of a misdemeanor which does not occur in his/her presence.
The aide had no sense of personal safety as she put herself in a position of possible attack. It wouldn't happen with me, but I can envision some high school ruffian being ordered around by her gruff mannerisms turning on her and cleaning her clock.
Armenta shuts down communications by requiring APS employees to direct all questions to her and then, though she instructs them to say she is crafting a response, doesn't.
Chávez has reason to be concerned with my photography. It's not particular to him, but by the way I photograph politicians, I zero in on them and any self perceived flaws maybe enhanced by my concentration.
As I have readily admitted, Chávez is not my favorite politician. He intentionally tried to damage my police career by moving me from the video production unit at the police academy and assigning me to a civilian entry-level records clerk job.
He later was very angry when, as part of the police union's efforts, I successfully advocated defeating the quarter percent "Public Safety tax." Here he is with then City Councillor Steve Gallegos and Chief Joe Polisar when Chávez called upon citizens to vote for the tax on his GOV-TV Governmemtn Cable Access Channel.
I also did some investigative work for one of the groups that brought charges against Chávez in the ABQPAC Ethics Board hearings. He is seen here with his then wife, Margaret Aragón de Chávez and her brother Robert Aragón.
They are attending a City Council meeting that sent the ethics charges to the City's internal Ethics Board rather than to the District Attorney.
ABQPAC was formed in part to fund travel expenses for Aragón de Chávez to travel with the mayor on business trips.
If one reviews my published photographs of Chávez, however one would be hard pressed to say that I haven't fairly captured the wide range of expression and emotions he displays.
Note: A correction was made in the identification of the above photograph. I misidentified Margaret Aragón de Chávez' brother, former State Senator Robert Aragón, as John Wertheim, who would become State Democratic Party Chairman. My apologies, thanks to Michelle Meaders for catching the error and current State Democratic Party Chairman Brian Colón for the proper identification.

Vancouver Canucks on brink of elimination as L.A. Kings prove too Quick in Game 3
Los Angeles netminder stymies Presidents' Trophy-winners while Vancouver backup Cory Schneider good … but not good enough
• For Game 3 photos, click here or look under "More on this story" on this web page.
LOS ANGELES — They changed goalies, but not the right one to change the series.
Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault played the last good card available to him Sunday, replacing starting goalie Roberto Luongo with backup Cory Schneider. But the guy in goal for the Los Angeles Kings didn't change and neither did the endangerment of the Canucks' National Hockey League season.
The Canucks' best game was still not good enough to beat Jonathan Quick, who made 41 saves Sunday to drive the Los Angeles Kings to a 1-0 victory and 3-0 lead in their National Hockey League playoff series.
The Canucks, the regular-season pennant-winners who went to the Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final just 10 months ago, face being eliminated in the first round of the tournament for the first time since 2004. Game 4 is Wednesday (7 p.m., CBC, Team 1040).
"We have no lifelines left," Canucks winger Jannik Hansen said. "We wasted them the first three games. We've gone on winning streaks before this season and we're more than capable of stringing [wins] together.
"We knew Quick was a good goalie. We got a lot of shots on him. We got traffic and had some scrambles, but he always seemed to get his blocker or his glove or his stick on it. We did just about everything right today except score goals."
And they did. But that last little stickler could end the Canucks' season and cause some upheaval in a big-spending organization that counts on many millions in playoff revenue.
Quick, a Vezina and Hart Trophy candidate who has evidently grown dramatically since the Canucks beat the Kings in the first round two years ago, has allowed only four goals in the series. He has stopped 111 out of 115 shots.
Quick was chiefly responsible for keeping the game scoreless until 6:30 of the third period, when unguarded Dustin Brown swept a rebound past Schneider after Canuck defenceman Alex Edler iced the puck, then lost track of check from the faceoff.
Edler's worst night of his poor playoff ended with a careless delay-of-game penalty late in the third period that forced the Canucks to push for the tying goal short-handed.
Alex Burrows and Ryan Kesler, who hasn't scored a goal in 15 games, had whacks at the puck during a goalmouth scramble in the final minute. But Quick was impenetrable.
Even with the Canucks' territorial superiority Sunday — they outshot the Kings 25-11 in the first two periods — the idea of winning four straight games against Quick is almost unfathomable.
"It's hard," Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said of the prospect. "But you're an athlete. You're going to realize things like this happen; it's how you respond. We saw Chicago last year — they took one game from us and all of a sudden they had momentum."
But the Canucks still won that first-round series in overtime of Game 7 after blowing a 3-0 lead. And they did it with leading scorer Daniel Sedin in the lineup, not home with a concussion that has him out indefinitely.
It looked Sunday like Henrik would be gone, too, after he was crushed by Brown on a thunderous hit two minutes into the second period.
With his team about to go offside, Sedin held the puck for a couple of seconds at the blue line and didn't see Brown coming at full throttle back towards the Kings' zone. The check looked legal, but Sedin's head snapped back as he landed.
With Daniel already out from Blackhawk Duncan Keith's illegal elbow four weeks ago, the sight of Henrik struggling to pull himself up and on to the bench — do the haters who call the Sedins soft notice how tough they are? — was an alarming sight for the Canucks.
Defenceman Kevin Bieksa took a roughing minor for going after Brown, but the only fight was a wrestling match between Canuck Alex Burrows and the Kings' Anze Kopitar.
The Canucks' killed the penalty. They killed all six Los Angeles power plays in the first 40 minutes after allowing three goals on 12 chances during the series' opening two games in Vancouver.
Even more heartening, Henrik returned to the bench after a brief visit to the trainers' room.
The Canucks dominated the final minutes of the second period the way they did much of the first.
But Quick was superb throughout. His best saves came seconds apart in the middle period against Chris Tanev, whose slapshot was stopped in traffic a few ticks before the defenceman had a rebound chance in the slot. A minute before Brown scored, Quick got his blocker in front of Jannik Hansen's slapshot on a 3-on-2 rush. Hansen also hit the post on a first-period 2-on-1.
Like Hansen said, the Canucks did everything but score. Or win.
"They got the one that counted," Bieksa said. "Sometimes you run into a hot goaltender like we did. But it takes [four wins] to win a series. It's not over yet."
That was not how it seemed Sunday.

Cheri...I am making your wonderful prim quilt for the Rabbits Lair quilt shop as a model for them. I am getting ready to cut and sew, and I have quick question for you...are the applique done with a primitive stitch, or blanket stitch, or needle turn? I cannot tell from the picture that was sent to me, but as I read the instructions I am thinking primitive stitch. Thanks so much!

The RadarGolf System
The RadarGolf System, using Ball Positioning System (BPS) technology, consists of three main components. The handheld, Shield-It pouch and ball work together to save you strokes, time, and frustration.
The RadarGolf System Includes:
System Details
BPS technology uses advanced electronics to enable the handheld to transmit a specific radio frequency (RF) signal. When this signal reaches a RadarGolfBall, the ball returns a separate specific RF signal. The handheld receiver is tuned to listen for the signal from the ball. An LCD provides visual feedback and an audio tone allows you to hone in on your lost ball. You will receive stronger feedback as you get closer to your ball.
The handheld will locate all RadarGolfballs (in your pocket, golf bag or golf cart for example). It is critical that you keep all RadarGolf balls shielded from detection. Place all spare balls in the Shield-It pouches. The pouches are made with a special metallic fabric that blocks radio frequency signals and allows you to find only your ball in play when searching. Use the large pouch in your golf bag to store a dozen balls and the small pouch in your pocket for one ball.
The Radar Golf ball is USGA conforming and meets all USGA specifications for size, weight, distance, initial velocity and symmetry. It has been thoroughly tested for durability and performance parameters including carry, distance, roll and dispersion accuracy. The embedded microchip is so small that it does not affect the performance of the ball in any way. The chip has no power source and will last as long as the ball.
Why use the Radar Golf system?
"My wife bought me the RadarGolf system as a Father's Day present. I have fallen in love with both the balls and the device. I use it on a regular basis and everyone who plays with me is very impressed. I have even had caddies tell me my ball went down a ravine and was out of play, only to find it six inches off of the fairway and easily playable! By the end of most rounds my golfing friends are ready to go out and buy a RadarGolf system."
"After playing with the RadarGolf System, I was very impressed with both the playability of the ball and the ease which the handheld device works. As a PGA Golf Professional, I believe every amateur will find the RadarGolf System very useful. Players will find their ball resulting in less penalty strokes and speed up play because they won't be looking as long for their wayward shots. I think this technology will revolutionize the golf industry."
"I have been waiting in anticipation all winter to use my Radar Golf system. Just before the golf season started for me I began a renovation on my house and stored all my things in my garage including by mistake my radar golf system. I played twice without it because I as unable to dig it out. After losing 5 balls and 8 balls on subsequent outings and not scoring well, I decided I was going to dive in a find the device no matter what. I am amazed what happened. I played one round and shot a 37 on the front which is my best 9 ever finishing that day with an 82 and then the next time out I shot an 80 which is my best 18 ever. I am convinced this happened because I wasn't afraid to hit the ball and had more confidence in my swing. I will not play without it. It is truly a complimentary addition to the game of golf. Thanks for making the game more enjoyable to play."
We celebrated my parents wedding anniversary this past weekend. They were on the course this afternoon to try it out. I just picked up a phone message from them and they are ecstatic. In fact, they canât wait to head out again tomorrow so they can use it again."
"Whether nailing a drive, flopping a chip, dropping a putt or hunting through the rough- the RadarGolf ball is amazing!!! The "chip" gives you an extra advantage other players don't have. My buddies will have to buy the system to remain competitive. Thanks."
"I was playing the Luana Hills Country Club in Oahu on a gorgeous sunny day over Christmas vacation, and hooked my tee shot into a huge area of low green leafy plants. Without my radar golf unit, I wouldn't have even bothered going in to look for it, as you couldn't seen the ground beneath the leaves. Two golfers were approaching on the opposite fairway and inquired what I was doing as I waded through this impossibly large patch of plants while waving my radar golf unit. I told them to watch and they were dumbfounded as the beeping from my radar golf unit increased in intensity as it located my errant tee shot. They asked where to get one so I gave them the same information I give everyone who sees it....radargolf! Incidentally, I have similar stories from virtually every course I play from Loomis, to Las Vegas!"
My RadarGolf unit worked like a dream on our spring break vacation in Cancun, Mexico. We found every ball we "searched" for including two that were completely buried in the weeds. (My brother hit those two!)"
"Radar Golf might simply be the greatest golf invention of the 21st century."
"From a golferâs perspective, The Radar Golf system is the best thing to come along since the personal computer." Pat - Minnesota "Well done and congratulations on the launch. My parents picked up one of the first devices in Florida. It worked great and they loved it."
"The system really works. The ball flys fine, seems to go as good as what I usually play. Ole hit two of the longest drives of his life. The biggest find came on twelve, after a long search, Ole found his Radarball some 100 feet from where we thought it should be. It must have really kicked off of something to go that far. If not for RadarGolf, he would have had to go back to the tee and re-hit with a two stroke lost ball penalty, instead he hit it on the green with no penalty. I really like the ball system, and now that I've used it, I can't imagine playing anything else. It saves time and penalty strokes. It is a BIG advantage. "
"As avid golfers, my wife and I constantly find our game slowed by our search of lost balls, and we are equally annoyed by having to add a stroke for a non-findable lie. "
"I buy anything new pertaining to golf and I love this one. Plus I know I'll sell this to my friends, I already sent 22 emails to my golfing friends."
"I felt my first experience with Radar Golf should be recorded for posterity! On my last round of golf for 2005 I had the opportunity to play Cedar Crest Golf Course in Dallas, Texas, with three good friends."
Does the RadarGolf System conform to USGA rules?
What is the range of the RadarGolf System?
What type of care is required for the RadarGolf Handheld?
Does the golfer need to be aware of any special considerations when using the RadarGolf System?
Will the RadarGolf System work indoors?

mais dans la plupart des cas , on retrouve plus rapidement sa balle.
In the UK noone has it and people are asking where I got it from. Also the balls play very well and have good balance
I recommend that you test the radar out in your back yard or at the park. Get use to how it works, you won't regret it. I tested it in a open area around 50ft. The golf radar works well within 0 to 30ft. Anything past 30 ft., didn't find the signal from the ball.
Also you had better look at where you ball is hit, you still need to know the exact area where your ball landed and hopefully the radar ball system will do the rest for you.
I highly recommend this system, it will pay for itself after about 10-15 round depending on how many balls you lose. Penalty stroke can hurt you scores, if you have this system you will cut down on penalty strokes and your game will maybe go a lot faster.

Welcome to the Oklahoma Higher Education Shared Services Marketplace
The Shared Services Marketplace is designed as a clearinghouse for shared technology contracts, resources and services for Oklahoma's higher education institutions. The goal is to promote collaboration and create cost efficiencies across our state's higher education system.
As Oklahoma's higher education chief information officer, I am tasked with championing collaborations among our state's institutions and achieving cost savings for technology services within our higher education system. My partnership with the Council of Information Technology plays a vital role in this initiative. As our state's higher education technology leaders, council members are in a position to provide leadership and cooperation in maximizing investments in technology services and resources.
I am excited to see the collaboration that is already occurring. Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma have successfully implemented several initiatives, including federated services to enable the ability to access each other's computing resources, the "Bedlam Battle" training program for cybersecurity and a common service catalog that provides a framework for identifying collaboration targets.
These initiatives set a new standard and establish a model for cooperation and collaboration. I ask you to join our efforts in seeking ways we can work together to expand information technology services for our state's students, while identifying opportunities to realize cross-institutional cost savings. I hope the Shared Services Marketplace will be a catalyst in achieving these goals.
Best regards,
Vonley Royal

Italian prosecutors placed the captain of the Jolly Nero cargo ship under investigation Wednesday for alleged manslaughter after his vessel slammed into the dock at Genoa's busy port and toppled the control tower into the harbor, killing at least seven people.
As rescue teams in diving suits searched for two other missing people, officials began piecing together how the 40,000-ton container ship could have sideswiped the port's control tower when weather and sea conditions were "perfect" on Tuesday night. The focus was on whether human error or a technical malfunction was to blame.
The crash occurred around 11 p.m. as the Jolly Nero was backing out of Genoa's port accompanied by two tugboats and with a harbor pilot on its bridge. At the same time, a shift change was taking place among employees at the control tower, meaning more people were in the building than usual.
"This event is unbelievable because we had the best weather navigation conditions," said Luigi Merlo, president of Genoa's port authority.
Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi told Parliament that given the "perfect" weather conditions, possible causes of the crash could include an engine malfunction or problems with the cables between the container ship and the tugs guiding it. He said investigators — both criminal and from his own ministry — were also looking into possible mistakes with the maneuver itself or with the speed in which the ship backed out of its berth and turned around to leave the port.
The Jolly Nero's captain, Roberto Paoloni, and the harbor pilot on board were placed under investigation for alleged manslaughter, Genoa prosecutor Michele di Lecce told reporters. He said other accusations were possible.

We see margaritas!
Maybe it's because of the cold, snowy weather — or today's gorgeous sun — but one thing is for sure: We are definitely looking forward to visiting the tropics with Beacon Center and The Gathering Place.
Beacon Center's annual Cherish the Children Gala, on May 5, is a Carnivale Rio-themed dinner-dance; Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and his wife, Annabel, are the honorary chairmen.
On May 19, The Gathering Place Association's Brown Bag Gala will be An Evening in the Tropics. There'll be tiki bars, Hawaiian dancers and "beach songs" by the Nacho Men.
Now excuse me as I fire up the blender and search for that lost shaker of salt!
Society editor Joanne Davidson's column appears every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday in The Denver Post. She can be reached at 303-809-1314 or email@example.com. She loves a good margarita; in a pinch, a pina colada will do.
