Miles, Saban voice support for SEC officials
Les Miles decided not to test the SEC's new get-tough policy regarding coaches criticizing officials.
The LSU coach said Monday he spoke with Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive and coordinator of officials Rogers Redding about a near-interception by Patrick Peterson late in the Tigers' 24-15 loss to Alabama. Officials ruled Peterson caught the ball out of bounds and replay officials did not overturn the call, though video showed the LSU defensive back might have had a foot down in bounds.
LSU asked the league to review the call and Miles said he was satisfied with the response he received.
"I know these officials are trying," he said during his weekly news conference in Baton Rouge, La. "They are doing everything they can to get it right. The final score is the final score. The officials are working hard to get it right. If I felt differently, I would say so."
But then he'd have to take out his checkbook. The SEC fined Florida coach Urban Meyer $30,000 last week for saying referees missed a late hit against Georgia on quarterback Tim Tebow, making him the first coach punished under the league's new policy of skipping public reprimands and going straight to fines or suspension.
The questionable call in the LSU game was the latest in a series of high-profile ones that have left SEC fans, and at times coaches, grumbling.
Peterson stepped in front of Greg McElroy's pass and might have gotten his left foot down in bounds – maybe both feet – but was ruled out with 5:54 left and LSU trailing 21-15. Replay official Gerald Hodges determined there wasn't the required "indisputed video evidence" to overturn the call.
"I know I was in," Peterson said after the game. "The officials said the pass was incomplete because I was out of bounds. There is nothing you can do now."
SEC spokesman Charles Bloom said the league would not comment on the call.
"The standard procedure for us has been that the school turns in a list of plays and we look at those plays and give them back a review of those plays," Bloom said. "That's what we're doing."
Miles did not join Meyer, Arkansas' Bobby Petrino, Tennessee's Lane Kiffin and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen in publicly criticizing the officials. Petrino, Kiffin and Mullen were all reprimanded within a week and soon after the SEC decided to make the punishment for knocking officials more severe.
Miles said he was convinced Slive and Redding looked at the play "long and hard." So did he.
"I know the officials could not see the play," the coach said. "They were in great position. One official could not see the play because he couldn't see through the back of Patrick Peterson. The only other official who could see the play, was on the other boundary.
"He couldn't see through one of our players. So, it goes to replay. If it's not irrefutable, there's no reversal. The replay man is given instruction to defend and defer to the call on the field."
Alabama coach Nick Saban lashed out at the critics, not the officials.
"If I was an official and I was making what I made officiating because I love the game and I love doing it, and I was getting criticized by the media – including our announcers on TV – like these guys are getting criticized, I'd step back and say, 'I think I'll go to the lake this weekend. You can have this,'" Saban said. "That's what I'd do.
He also noted that LSU would still have had to drive nearly 70 yards with both quarterback Jordan Jefferson and tailback Charles Scott out with injuries, against one of the nation's top defenses.
"If it was an interception, that doesn't mean they win the game," Saban said. "It was hard for me to tell on our film. I don't watch the TV stuff. I can't tell you or give you an opinion one way or the other."
The SEC publicly suspended a crew that called two personal foul penalties in separate games that were not supported by video evidence.
One of the calls came in the Arkansas-Florida game and aided a Gators' touchdown drive late in their 23-20 victory.
Kiffin complained about the officials after a 12-10 loss at Alabama and Mullen did the same after a replay review went Florida's way during his team's 29-19 loss to the Gators.
Alabama and Florida are undefeated and will meet in the SEC championship game. If they stay unbeaten, the game in Atlanta will also be for a spot in the national title game.
Kentucky defensive lineman Corey Peters, who has faced both teams, doesn't buy into talk that Florida and Alabama are getting a hand from the league.
"I think Florida's a great football team," Peters said. "I don't think they need any help. Officials can't put the ball in the end zone. They can't put points on the board."
Alabama's McElroy said he also didn't think the Tide and Gators had gotten preferential treatment.
"There's been as many calls against us as there has been for us," McElroy said.
As far as Peterson's play, he said he hadn't watched a replay.
"The SEC officials, they're very professional in their job, they take their job very seriously and 99 percent of the time they're going to get the call right," McElroy said.
Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson left the officials alone, but questioned whether coaches should get fined for voicing an opinion.
"(Meyer) said in his opinion he thought it was the wrong call," Johnson said. "I think everybody can have an opinion.
"I think we ought to have the opportunity to say I disagree with a call and not be fined. You can't say, `Well I think he did it on purpose or I think it's a conspiracy or whatever.' But if I think it was a bad call, I ought to be able to say it was a bad call. But I guess I can't."
AP Sports Writers Teresa Walker in Nashville, Tenn., and Jeff McMurray in Lexington, Ky., contributed to this report.

I have a friend who just made the best descision of her life, she broke off her engagement to a complete a**hole after she finally worked up the courage to do so. She is saying that she is a failure because she broke off her engagement, and I tried to tell her that it is common. (I know of 2 people who did this in the last year, outside of her situation)
So that got me wondering, just how common are they? Stories of hope?

Objective d. Identify and explain figurative language
Before reading a literary text which contains figurative language, students and teacher should complete a KWL chart about figurative language. Next, the teacher will read aloud the literary text omitting all figurative language. The teacher and students will discuss the effect of that text. Following that the teacher will read that same text including all the figurative language. Students will discuss the changed effect of the text. Details from the text can be recorded on the following chart.
Prior to reading a literary text, the teacher will review the meaning of personification with students. As students read, they will record each element of personification in the text, the human characteristic applied, and its meaning to the text.
After reading is complete, students will share their findings with the class. Further discussion can address the author's reason for the use of personification.
Prior to reading a literary text selected for its use of figurative language, the teacher will read aloud a series of short literary texts from a variety of authors, each of which will display a distinctive style. Some may feature lengthy sentences, elaborate word choice, or figurative language etc...Through discussion the teacher and students will identify the element which makes that author's style distinctive. Following this preliminary activity, the students will read the selected literary text, identifying its use of figurative language and determining the author's reason for its use.
Before reading a literary text, students will review the various types of figurative language. Students will then be instructed to read that literary text noting where multiple examples of figurative language have already been marked in the text. After reading is complete, the teacher and students will identify the type of figurative language, its meaning, and the effect the language has on the reader.

I was Up North for the 4th of July weekend.
When I say 'Up North' people in New York look at me quizzically.
"Like, Montreal north…or like Catskills north?â€
"Neither, I was Up North, not, up north.â€
In Wisconsin 'Up North' is a proper compound noun referring to a particular recreationally active section of the upper half of the state, where waterskiing skills are a calling card to social approval and the size of your jetski matters. Shirts and visors are emblazoned with phrases like "Up North chick†and pontoon boat titles incorporate the location: "Hoffmans' Up North Cruiser.â€
In Wisconsin 'Up North' isn't a geographical distinction; it's a cultural one.
These facts are the basis of a new theory  of mine called the "Rule of Cultural Chauvinism." When, through ritualized activity, a place gains the distinction of being a cultural site, the ignorant visitor must tread with caution for there will be landmines deployed to destabilize them in an effort to reinforce cultural differences.
My recent trip to my wife's family's cabin Up North was as an ignorant visitor, and I hadn't yet gained the wisdom of what would become the Chauvinism Rule to defend myself. I imagined Up North being an innocent community of kitschy leisure watersports rather than the fierce contest to master the terms of cabin-vacation culture. In other words, I thought I was merely up north, when actually I was Up North.
My trial-by-fire started when I arrived at the cabin, where 23 other friends and family members awaited the privilege to assert their outdoorsy superiority. When the waterski boat came out on the first day I agreed to give it a try. I thought I might be able to stay on my feet because I was an alright snow skier. Forty-six eyes watched me fail in spectacular fashion three times, skis whipped violently in different directions, body folded like a rag doll—you know the image. I didn't necessarily expect success, but I did expect a little encouragement. Instead, I got uproarious laughter and persistent backhanded reminders of my failure.
"Last time I saw a body bend like that I was at a Cirque du Soleil in Vegas!"
"Man you would've been better off being shot into the water with a canon!"
The reminders continued as I also failed to correctly light fires, filet fish and even shit in the woods. One might think that shitting is primal and intuitive, but apparently it can be done wrong.
My breaking point came when we were lighting fireworks for the family's annual party. Not Roman candles and bottle rockets, but Class B sky blooms that come in boxes the size of milk crates. I politely and curiously asked my father-in-law to explain how to ignite a Class B.
"I don't know what you guys use in New York, but we use these here, ever seen one of these?!â€
He held up a wind resistant propane torch like a caveman with a mammoth bone.
"What do ya use in New York? Matches?â€
To be fair, all these jabs come with a sort of locker room affection, but really, New York..fireworks?
The ribbing was getting to me but I bit my tongue and took my complaints to my wife.
"How does moving to New York six years ago make me its official spokesperson? Why does having a New York address turn me into Woody Fucking Allen?!â€
Then I went for beer. My indignation subsided as the Leinies took hold. Groggy the next day, I thought I'd gain some rugged-guy credits by building shelves in the garage. One of my nieces decided to follow me in and watch. Her curiosity paid off as she witnessed me slice through the power cord of the saw I was using to cut the wood. For a moment I thought the power went out until she handed me the severed, chewed up cord. After howling every word on the 'off-limits list' (a real list posted prominently in the cabin), I grabbed young Josie, looked into her young, brown, Christian eyes, and begged her to keep her mouth shut. Then I took the entire circular saw and buried it in the woods, like a reckless serial killer might a body.
And we all know that if one gets caught burying the body, they're cooked. Circumstances don't matter at that point. "She died from falling down the stairs, but I didn't want to call the paramedics because I had a small amount of crack on the nightstand, so I decided to tie a cinder block to her ankle and drop her in the lake,†doesn't cut it. Guilt oozes from poorly executed cover-ups. One's only chance is good containment.
Young Josie's secret knowledge churned inside of her like a bucket of mussels in the stomach of a queasy man on a roller coaster. It projectiled out of her in a couple minutes and spread quickly across the family. They even recovered the saw and have it displayed as an ignominious anti-trophy out on the porch.
I felt they'd turned me into a monster. Who cares about how well one water skis? Who cares about how good one is at horseshoes or baiting a hook or outboard motor conditioning? Few, perhaps, who weren't Up North or at other lakeside retreats across the country, but still, I buried a saw a foot deep in the forest. And I paid dearly.
After the hazing that afternoon, the adults in the family escaped for a rare dinner without the children in Minocqua, the urban hub of Up North. Apparently, someone was feeling classy so we settled on a popular tapas restaurant instead of the usual Sysco orgy in a red basket or pizza parlour. I was ecstatic—boquerones followed by an Estrella Damm pilsner produces a burp that in itself is a culinary masterpiece. A plate of Pimientos de Padrón is like gambling and eating at the same time. A mess of assorted cephalopods—at once so mysteriously intelligent and so incredibly tasty— would take me to heaven that night against all odds.
Disaster struck when I saw the menu and lasted through my prolonged rant about how a live act shouldn't be able to play John Mayer at a tapas bar. They served jalapeno poppers, spinach dip and truffled popcorn, but not a single Spanish dish. Apparently, the sangria and the small plates made it tapas. Still, no one, not even my loyal wife, stood by me as I sniped at every audible compliment about the scrumptious little plates.
"Oooooh, that chicken satay looks gooooood."
"It's not tapas..it's not even satay. There's no peanut sauce. That's a plate of chicken strips and bowl of soy sauce. Is that supposed to pass as 'Eastern'?†Why not serve Lucky Charms and call it tapas? No, serve the Charms with some Big Red chewing gum and call it tapas…then it's both ethnic and spicy. All that on a small plate magically becomes tapas. Better, why don't you just grill up a bunch of lies, serve them on a mini plate and call it tapas? They'd only be little lies, because they're on little plates…and then they'd automatically be tapas, too.â€
"Geez, who cares about whether it's Spanish or authentic if we all like it?â€
"And who cares how good I am at waterskiing if I'm happily failing at it?â€
I guess the question is: who looks sillier? A happy fool being dragged across the water like a ragdoll, or someone enjoying the hell out of miscategorized food on small dishes..or the idiots complaining from the sidelines.

This is another party hotel where you will experience great music acts, packed clubs and lively festivals throughout the year. Let's not forget the world's only over 18's waterpark is located here as well for a truly unique experience!
If you are just looking for a cheap room and have no interest in purchasing a package deal, check out Hotel HM Martinique where they have basic rooms starting as low as £35 per person. You can stay in any one of the 211 apartments available and then relax by the poolside while sipping on cocktails. The hotel is also conveniently located on the buzzing strip so you are in the middle of all the action and right near the beach.
Another non-package option is the Sotavento Apartments for a reasonable nights accommodation. Rooms here start at £45 per person and include an array of poolside DJs, cheap drinks and even night security by the pool for peace of mind. It is located on a hill though making it a steep climb back from town after a long night out. It is well worth it though even if just for the exclusive pool parties that take place here every so often.

text: Mahlon's passion for music grew from childhood having parents that are musically inclined. His Dad was a drummer in a local jazz band, and his mother play piano for a number of years. From jazz to classical music to R&B and more, Mahlon enjoyed listening to many genres of music. While in school, this motivated him to learn how to play the violin, upright bass, and drums. This early interest led to becoming a DJ and experimenting with his Dad's record collection. At end of the 80's into the 90's, Mahlon then bought his own turntables and would play music at backyard parties and family picnics. Eventually he received the opportunity to perform at the weddings of a few close friends, and his DJ career took off from there. Since joining SSS in 2013, Mahlon has continued to prove himself being steady, reliable, and great at beat matching music. He has a smooth charismatic approach that makes the event just flow. Mahlon carefully reviews the forms that a couple fills out, but his real understanding comes when he sits down with them. He is able to make the couple feel comfortable while provoking their thoughts and observing the way they joke about what songs to play. This creates a personal relationship and he is able to customize his plan for the wedding. Mahlon thinks of himself as an ambassador. It is his job to bring people and music together. When that happens, they dance, and their party becomes a journey that creates moments they will remember for some time.

As the number of worldwide protests increase, I am noticing a serious increase in the number of ways other nations are trying to impinge on other nations' sovereignty. Now, I am not going to debate the sanity of someone like Gaddafi. Clearly any leader of a nation who is willing to sacrifice his citizens does not deserve to be in control. When I hear Barrack Obama saying that Gaddafi should step down. What right does he have to interfere in the sovereignty of Libya or any other country? If/when the United Nations asks for assistance on behalf of Libya or any other country's people that is the time to step in. Seriously, what if another leader of a country demanded that Obama step down based on the Tea Party protests?
The BC NDP are asking all of their leadership candidates to hand over their passwords to their social media websites as a way to vet the candidates. Seriously, what a huge invasion of privacy not only of the candidates but anyone else they are connected to on these sites. One would think that any potential leadership candidates would be aware of the pitfalls of social media and not post anything that could be used against them. And, if they are that stupid and they post something, then they deserve to be embarrassed by it.

353 / 326 / 310 yards
Designed by Roger Tooker
"A redesign and some additions have turned this slight dogleg right into a beautiful and challenging test. The tee box has been moved back, opening up a fairway where driver can still be used on a relatively short par-4 hole. Bunkers on either side of the fairway guide the way, but need to be avoided, leaving a short iron to a newly elevated green that now includes a bunker up front. Water lurks to the left, creating a feel of a peninsula green. A picturesque hole that can produce a par with solid shots from tee to green."
Golf On Long Island was in Manorville in the Summer of 2011 to fly over this short par-4:
"Two short holes provide opportunities to play a little more creatively without reaching, by instinct, for the driver. The 335-/315-yard fifth uses water left of the green to impact your direction off the tee. Targeting the roomier left side keeps the water in play later. If you try to approach from a better angle on the right, a fairway trap enters the fray."

What to say that hasn't been said already about maverick filmmaker David Lynch?
Finally handed the funding, freedom and platform to drill his singular vision straight into the heart of the masses, he pulls no punches here in this delightful 8-disc return to the world of Twin Peaks, which first blew minds in the early 90s.
More reminiscent of the world he created in the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992), what's unveiled here is a delectable, often infuriating smorgasbord of mood, violence and vibe-riffery unparalleled since, well, the last Lynch film outing, Inland Empire (2006).
Much has been made of the 2017 series' cryptic plot lines, cipher-like characters and stilted, impenetrable dialogue, but as Mel Brooks once quipped about Lynch's oeuvre, one has to stand back, waay back for the bigger picture to appear.
In 1987, Lynch and Peaks co-writer Mark Frost created a script for a show called One Saliva Bubble and it's in the spirit of that never realised project that Twin Peaks 2017 takes more than one absurdist cue.
The new series, if nothing else, is a Rorschach test for conscious experience. Strange images married with sound that elicit effects on us as we watch, resulting in vibes, for lack of a better word, that we recognise from the subtler (unconscious?) regions of life. The ridiculousness and urgency of modern existence is here too, along with the elusive search for meaning. Spectacularly, it's rendered in crisp, clean lines thanks to cinematographer Peter Deming's (Lost Highway) sharp eye, often coupled with a very dry humour which is a much welcome touch considering all the existential angst.
Throughout, mystery remains front and centre. So much in fact, that mid-series we get a scene of Lynch (as FBI Director Gordon Cole) and Special Agent Tammy Preston (played by songstress Chrysta Bell), giggling together at fellow Agent Albert Rosenfeld's (Miguel Ferrer) first date with an autopsy technician in Buckhorn South Dakota. The way the scene is filmed with Cole and Preston speaking in hushed tones in the hotel's lounge while secretly monitoring Albert in such a throwaway setup is classic Lynch and a random example of what this show's all about.
It's the minutiae of existence, the inescapable secret nature of the ordinary, the tantalizing knowledge we've all been there in each of these roles, witnessing and registering events – some that just happen of their own accord and others that hint at a profound mystery.
Lynch, above everything, is a vibe technician. Forget the meaning that may or may not be conveyed – what he's doing is using mood to illustrate the malleability of our thoughts and impulses in a cold indifferent, universe. It's a brave tact considering the forced, hyper-real and politically correct plastic world of media that passes for entertainment and art these days.
In this new Twin Peaks we are allowed to be wholly human, flawed and desperate – celebrated as such, even, as the story's arc, like life, builds towards an inevitable end.
The show is a feast for people who pay attention and we are often treated to subtle clues. Briefly, for example, in the Albert/Morgue Technician scene we spy a woman with a French flag walk by, foreshadowing another scene that will undoubtedly be remembered as one of Lynch's best:
The French woman scene where Cole regales a mysterious French woman in his room at the Buckhorn Hotel.
Asked to leave by Agent Rosenfeld, viewers bear witness to a long drawn out exit as the woman preens and poses in a magical tour de force that's as much a homage to female mystique as it is a gateway to abstract thought. If you enjoy the shock that results when Lynch confers sanctity to such simple premises, you will love this show.
Another stand out aspect of the new series is its soundscape.
Long time Lynch fans have watched the trajectory of his use of sound through the years, which has become more minimal as time's passed. The original Peaks used way more music to direct viewers moods. Here we are presented with abstract sounds for the most part, sporadic undertones and industrial loops used for emotional shading, while actual songs punctuate proceedings at intervals, either during pivotal scenes or at the end of each episode when famous performers turn up at the Twin Peaks roadhouse to send us out further into the ether.
It's exciting to watch a director still experimenting to such great effect. We won't give away much of the overall plot – it concerns Agent Dale Cooper's roundabout return to the town of Twin Peaks and the mystery of Laura Palmer with more than a few self conscious nods to the filmmaking process itself along the way.
Watch for allusions to Cooper being author Franz Kafka and take note of that huge nuclear mushroom cloud poster hanging behind Cole's desk at FBI headquarters. Twin Peaks 2017 is a huge, sprawling mystery.
To the benefit of viewers craving originality and fearless film making, Lynch has ensured we will be left at the edge of our seats. As Laura Palmer and agent Cooper discover, you can never go home the same way again.

Last week we said goodbye to three cartoons: Jaimy Stokes' Aimless,Life in Hell, the meat and potatoes alt-comic by Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, and Angie Grow's Calculator Club, the second-place finisher in last year's Bad Cartoon Contest. We did so to give a new face to some of our cartoons.
In this issue you will see two new cartoons. The City, by Derf, which can be a little racy at times, deals with political, social and cultural issues. An interesting fact about Derf is that he went to high school with Jeffrey Dahmer–you know, the serial killer. He was actually friends with him. It isn't something he makes fun of at all. Actually, in a true-life graphic comic story he portrays the experience, in hindsight, as quite scary.
Our other new cartoonist is a local. Allen Gladfelter will be doing a serial cartoon called Intrepid Event. You might recognize his name and his style from the Idaho Press Tribune where he occasionally inks an editorial cartoon. Finally, beginning in a few weeks, the winner of this year's Bad Cartoon Contest will have the opportunity to publish his or her own cartoon in BW for one year. (See next week's issue for the winners.)
On another note, in this issue you will notice the absence of "Wink," our fake news section. We decided to let it rest for a while and revamp our news section. In news you will notice our "8 Days Last Week" column highlighting local, regional, national and world news events from the previous week, all with a tongue-in-cheek style. You might also notice our updated "True Crime" section, which highlights local crimes. Enjoy.

On the sidelines of professional sports events around the nation, there's a less-discussed competition that can get more heated than the games themselves: the epic battle for press credentials. Over the past year, sports bloggers have been prying open the doors to press boxes, particularly within the NFL and the NBA. But Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger — who last week denounced sports blogs as contributing to the dumbing down of America — can rest easy for now. Amateur sportswriters have had little success winning over the gatekeepers of America's pastime — at least here in the Bay Area.
Dave Nemetz is one of the founders of the S.F.–based Bleacher Report, a seven-month-old citizen sports journalism Web site. He has been schmoozing the San Francisco Giants' marketing department over partnering for promotions, hoping it might eventually lead to press credentials (which he hasn't yet formally asked for).
But Jim Moorehead, the Giants' associate director of media relations, doesn't sound keen to give credentials to Nemetz or any other bloggers. Moorehead says he gets weekly calls from so-called online journalists. Some, he assumes, are probably just trying to score free tickets. Others may have nobler motives, but no credentials. "If we allowed access to every blogger out there, we'd fill the ballpark," he said. "If the blogger is with a major newsgathering site like ESPN, we give them access. Otherwise, we do not."
Bleacher Report features the work of unpaid, fledgling sportswriters from around the world, who cover anything from college basketball to mixed martial arts. It includes features similar to those found on Wikipedia, such as social networking and peer editing, and brags that its writers will "reinvent sports media."
Of course, first it has to get in the game. Nemetz isn't taking Moorehead's negative comments about bloggers as a final answer. "If you build up a track record of getting access elsewhere, and a name-brand value to what you're doing, and other types of relationships, then those policies only go so far," he says.
While Nemetz won't give up his quest for credentials, other sports Web sites have. Tyler Bleszinski, the president and CEO of an Irvine-based blog network, SportsBlogs Nation (which includes Athletics Nation), says his writers don't even want media privileges. "You can't cheer in the press box," he explains.
Bleszinski raises an interesting point. His bloggers and the Bleacher Report writers are fans — in some cases, very starstruck ones — before they are journalists. If they actually score interviews with top athletes or coaches, it seems unlikely they would write critical stories, particularly if they want to keep their access.
So for a sports team, inviting bloggers to the press box maybe isn't such a bad idea after all. Hey, they might even write something nice about Barry Zito.

How to bond with your roommates in the cold.
This cold winter weather means we've all been spending more time inside than usual, and that might mean that you're getting a bit of cabin fever in your current living situation. At this point, you've lived with your current roommate for almost six months and it's time to check in. Maybe its going great and you just want to rekindle the friendship fire, maybe you've just hit a few bumps in the road, or maybe you are undeniably incompatible and must resort to communication via paper and pen, but whatever the case, the Indy is here to help. We've created a Roommate Mad-Libs Letter to solve all of your Roommate woes.

Last weekend, when you were both in the room and you ______________ (exiled /sexiled) me so you could ______________ (play) I felt _______ (excluded / annoyed / allergic).

Sixth officer relieved of duty over 33rd and Seward incident
This week, two additional officers have been relieved of duty following an investigation into a controversial arrest caught on video last year.
In total, six Omaha police officers have been relieved of duty in connection with the March 21 incident.
A fifth officer was recommended to be terminated Wednesday, and a sixth officer was recommended to be terminated Thursday. Both are awaiting Loudermill hearings.
The video, shot from a neighbor's second-floor window, shows officers responding to a parking complaint near 33rd and Seward streets. One officer is seen pulling Octavius Johnson, 29, to the ground by the neck, while dozens of other officers chase after his brothers, who were recording the incident on a cellphone and video camera from outside their home.
Earlier this week, the ACLU announced that it had filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the Johnson family, seeking damages for the incident. The lawsuit said as officers chased the Johnson brothers into the home, their aunt was knocked from her wheelchair and never helped back up.
An internal investigation resulted in the termination of four officers, including a commanding officer. Others were reassigned, and others were placed on leave.
Two of the officers fired, James Kinsella and Aaron Von Behren, face criminal charges, accused of disposing of a memory card from one of the Johnson brother's cellphones.

Family Medicine is the foundation of medical care. It's a specialty in breadth. Family Medicine integrates medical care with emotional and psycho-social well being, truly promoting the biopsychosocial model of care. It's a people practice, that when done right, is really about relationships.
For these, and so many other reasons, I'm excited to train Family Medicine physicians. To help them learn, be challenged and, ultimately, to provide strong primary care and improve the health of our region.
"Gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom. Sharing it, is the first step to Humanity." —Unknown
We are affiliated with the University of Washington, WWAMI Family Medicine network, which is consistently ranked number one in family medicine residency training by U.S. News and World Reports. It is the only residency program at Kadlec and provides all residents with individualized training and mentoring so that they can pursue their highest aspirations as Family Medicine physicians.
We welcomed our first residents in June 2015. We continue to be impressed and excited about the quality of our residents. They bring wide experience and skills, and have set a high standard. Residents partner with medical specialists and hospital staff to provide the region's highest level of care. Our residents have the opportunity to create their own panel of primary care patients, which may transition with the physician into practice.
We strongly believe that teaching the "doctors of tomorrow" is a special calling that must be approached with care and dedication. As we put our faculty together, we have been impressed with the regional physicians who desire to be a part of training new doctors. They sought us out, and because of this, we have built a dedicated, passionate team. They bring practice-based backgrounds and have chosen to not only provide patient care but also be teachers, sharing their experience, expertise and their commitment to Family Medicine. Our faculty is dedicated to the mission of teaching residents evidence-based, patient-centered care. I invite you to learn more about this team by visiting the faculty section on this website.
Our Pediatric and Adult Hospitalists will be a valuable part of providing a model for integrating hospitalists and residents in a way that dramatically improves both inpatient care and residents' educational outcomes. In our Intensive Care Unit, residents will work with award-winning, nationally recognized teams, and will be exposed to cutting-edge medicine, and participate in multiple clinically-relevant quality improvement projects.
A key to the success of any practice is a strong and competent staff. We are fortunate at Kadlec Family Medicine Residency to have such a staff. They are not only skilled, but also dedicated to the educational process and working closely to meet the needs of residents, faculty, and above all, patients.
Our primary family medicine clinic training will take place in a freestanding, outpatient family medicine center. The clinic uses a cutting-edge "on-stage, off-stage" design to create a calming, productive environment. In addition, rotations will take place at Kadlec Regional Medical Center, a progressive 270-bed, nationally recognized not-for-profit medical center affiliated with Providence Health & Services. It is a regional referral center for Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon. Family Medicine Residency and Kadlec Regional Medical Center, along with numerous specialty clinics, are all within walking distance on the greater Kadlec campus.
Our community is ideally situated between three major rivers: the Columbia River, Snake River and Yakima River, in an area rich with cultural and recreational activities for adults and children. The area is known for having the highest number of PhD's per capita nationwide. This area allows us to attract top-notch physicians who are trained at some of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world. In addition, a regional airport, with connecting flights to anywhere in the world, is an easy 20-minute drive from our clinic.
As the sponsoring medical center, we are strongly connected to the diverse community we serve and reach out beyond the walls of the hospital to positively affect patients in our region. We offer a wonderful training experience and hope that you will consider Kadlec as the way to foster your love, passion, commitment and excitement for family medicine.
Thank you for visiting our website and please don't hesitate to contact us. We are here to help as you make this important decision.

October and November starts "sailing season", the busiest time for smuggling and trafficking
BANGKOK, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Thailand called on Friday for concerted action to tackle "irregular" migration in the Indian Ocean, but no substantial solutions emerged from a regional meeting aimed at preventing this year's "boat people" tragedies in which hundreds drowned.
Representatives from Southeast Asian countries met in Bangkok to hash out a framework to deal with tens of thousands of migrants, most from Myanmar and Bangladesh, who make perilous voyages across the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea every year.
The meeting ended with a plan put forward by Thailand which five directly affected countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar and Bangladesh, would consider.
"There is still no clarity. We have discussed but not agreed," Apichart Chinwanno, permanent secretary at the Thai Foreign Ministry, said.
The document being considered, as European countries struggle to cope with refugees fleeing war in Syria and Iraq, focused on protection of migrants, prevention of irregular migration and prosecution of human smuggling and trafficking networks, he said, but gave few details.
"They focused on an information campaign, that's all. Not about helping people at sea and not about humanitarian assistance," a U.N. official, who declined to be named, told Reuters.
Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai said the region needed "an explicit and efficient mechanism to manage and control the negative impacts of irregular migration".
The conference was the second round of talks that were launched in May amid a migration crisis prompted by a human trafficking crackdown in Thailand.
The crackdown caused traffickers to abandon 4,000 migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh at sea and was marked by a chaotic spectacle of "maritime ping-pong" as the Thai, Malaysian and Indonesian navies repeatedly pushed desperate migrants in boats away from their waters.
October and November mark the start of the four-month "sailing season", the busiest time for smuggling and trafficking ships plying the Bay of Bengal.
While some migrants are Bangladeshis escaping poverty at home, many are members of Myanmar's 1.1 million Rohingya Muslim community who live in apartheid-like conditions in the country's Rakhine state.
Myanmar does not consider the Rohingya citizens, rendering them effectively stateless, while denying it discriminates against them or that they are fleeing persecution.
The foreign minister had said the issue of Rohingya citizenship would not be discussed on Friday. (Editing by Nick Macfie)

Thanks to iFly Austin for inviting us out to participate in one of the coolest family activities in the Austin area- INDOOR SKYDIVING!! Read on to find out about our first family skydiving experience, our initial thoughts, and what surprised us most!
iFLY is an indoor skydiving experience that creates true free fall conditions, just like skydiving, without having to jump out of an airplane. iFLY's vertical wind tunnel generates 1600 horse power from 4 powerful fans, creating a wall-to-wall cushion of air on which you can safely float. There's no parachute, no jumping, and nothing attaching you to planet Earth. It's just you and the air, AND it's the most incredible adrenaline rush.
Our daughters have always been the extreme thrill seekers in our family so I knew immediately that Kaitlyn would want to come along to experience this for herself. Sebastian had recently gone with his class on a field trip here just a couple of weeks before so I was prepared to have to sit on the bench this time, thinking he would be ready to go again. To my surprise he INSISTED I go in his place because as he put it "Everyone should try this at least once in their lifetime." It looked like this would be my day to try indoor skydiving. I'm so glad I did!!
First time Indoor Skydiving? What you can to expect at iFly Austin
When we arrived at the facility, check in was a breeze because we already had completed our forms online. We just provided our names and they were able to locate everything easily. We did have participate in a quick (very discreet) weigh in so that the air pressure in the flight tube could be calculated correctly for our flight.
After that we went upstairs to watch a quick safety video with the instructor and got fitted in our flight gear. The gear consisted of a helmet, goggles, earplugs, and flight suit. The flight suit is basically just a jump suit that goes on over your clothes. I recommend wearing athletic clothing that fit close to your body, athletic shoes and pulling your hair back. You'll also want to remove any jewelry that could come loose as well.
The biggest surprise was finding out what a workout this could be. You might not initially consider indoor skydiving as part of your fitness routine but during your one to four minute flight session you are engaging a series of isometric contractions to keep your entire body suspended and stabilized as you encounter the high-speed wind resistance in the tunnel. iFLY offers several flight packages that could be a really fun way add some new energy to your fitness routine.
Not really knowing what to expect and not entirely sure I could remember the instructions from the safety video, I was relieved to see our instructor would be in the tunnel with us to help us remember what to while we were in there. Kaitlyn and I positioned ourselves somewhere in the middle of our group so we could watch a few other attendees go first and see how it's done. There were people of all ages, sizes, and athletic ability in our group. I wouldn't let any of those be a factor in holding you back from this super fun experience.
Here's a video of what the iFLY experience was like:
We were able to experience 2 full flights in the tunnel each with our instructor. Kaitlyn had such a great time that we upgraded her experience and she took an advanced flight going higher and learning a few more techniques. At the end we both received a certificate for our indoor skydiving experience. We both agreed we would love to come back!!

Abstract: Information about GetPublished, CDN's content management system.
GetPublished is the Developer Network's content submission and management system. It allows community members to submit content, and implements a community-driven review and publishing process.
GetPublished is an ASP.NET application written in CodeGear RAD Studio 2007. Pages are created dynamically based on the current request and the identity of the logged-on user. Submitted documents are managed by Document Adapters, which are classes that read documents in multiple formats and convert them to standard HTML which can then be presented on the Developer Network. The following document adapters are currently supported:
In addition to format conversion, document adapters also create a table of contents, generate a printer-friendly version of the document, and apply additional formatting, such as collapsible sections, link anchors, and thumbnails for large images.
Other tools and technologies used by GetPublished include #ziplib, the Microsoft Word 2003 XML SDK, FCKeditor, and Html Agility Pack.
As with many other CDN applications, the development of GetPublished is an ongoing effort. New and improved features will be made available in the future. You can report bugs and post feature requests in the GetPublished area in QualityCentral, and discuss the system on the Website forum.
Many people contributed to the building and testing of this application – including Yorai Aminov, John Kaster, Jonathan Benedicto, David Clegg, Robert Love, Gillmer Derge, Tom Lam, Leonel Togniolli, Christine Ellis, TeamB, and of course the community members, who read and write articles on the Developer Network.

It's amazing how close friends can be helpful even when their help is not needed. Andrew is now dead, – "my best man slept with my wife" those were his last words before he committed suicide. He wrote a note why he had to do it.
The late Andrew had been married to Soni for close to 2 years with whom they were blessed with beautiful twins, a boy and a girl who had barely celebrated their first birthday before their father's demise.
Andrew committed suicide allegedly after frequent and serious arguments with his wife who out of anger decided to drop the bomb shell that she had been sleeping with their best man.
Two innocent kids are now fatherless because of selfish people. I would not jump to blaming any party in this since the woman had her own reasons of sharing their marital bed with their best man but I wonder why my closest friend would stab my back. Both will pay for this.
I am concerned because Andrew was my former college mate, he had secured a good job with one of the main stream Television Stations in the country, all I can say he was doing well.
Love triangles are becoming too much common in Kenya but whenever kids are involved, I feel bitter and curse spoilers who are out to destroy people's marriages.
Those of you who read my story titled "Why did David kill my friend" will agree with me that the devil is at work. This happened in November last year.

Yes I am knitting a wee scarf and it WAS going to be for my mum HOWEVER I have decided to knit her a tea cosy instead so I am just knitting this for myself. I just thought I might show you how I am getting on! I would say it is moderately easy as it can get very confusing especially if you finish a row and forget what row from the instructions it was!
You will obviously need a pair of knitting needles (the size is up to you) I used size 3 1/4mm for the end of the scarf, then 7 1/2mm, then the needles in the photos are 10mm.
Also you will need 2 different coloured yarns, preferably one light and one dark.
- Cast on a multiple of eight stitches. Whether you use 8, 16, 72 stitches or more will depend on how wide of a piece you need for your project. Cast on with the lighter yarn and purl the first row.
- Use the darker yarn to knit the next row. Knit two, slip stitch one, then knit three, slip stitch one and knit one Repeat the pattern until you reach the end of the row.
- Create the next row by using the same yarn to slip all the slip stitches from the previous row and purl the stitches that were knitted in the previous row.
- Switch to the lighter yarn and slip one stitch, knit three, slip one and knit three. Repeat until you reach the end of the row. Repeat Step 3 for the next row.
- Change to the darker yarn. Begin by knitting one and slip stitching one and repeat to the end of the row. Repeat Step 3 for the next row.
- Working with the lighter yarn, knit two, slip stitch one, knit three, slip stitch one and knit one. Repeat from the first slip stitch and work to the end of the row. Repeat Step 3 for the next row.
- Start the next row with a slip stitch in the darker color. Continue using that yarn to knit three, slip stitch one and knit three. Repeat Step 3 for the next row in the lighter color. Purl the following row.
- Keep alternating the light and dark colors and repeat Steps 4 through 8 until your mosaic lattice swatch is as long as you need it to be. Complete your piece by binding off the final row.
Note: A slip stitch is a stitch that is simply moved from the left-hand needle to the right without knitting or purling it.

This Downtown Fort Collins Mural is Also a Song
With Fort Collins being such a music-oriented city, it makes perfect sense that one of its murals would actually be a little tune.
Ready for some fun? Take a walk in Downtown Fort Collins and stroll through the Old Firehouse Alley on the north side of the Elizabeth Hotel- right outside of Magic Rat.
There, you'll find this mural. It doesn't produce any sound, but it's a song.
The birds are laid out to the tune of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans classic, 'Happy Trails.' How cool is that?
The Elizabeth is ALL about music, so this ties right in. Here's how it came to be:

(Pocket-lint) - Logitech's wireless range has been incredibly popular - perhaps even the first choice in non-standard peripherals - and their emergence into the mobile phone accessory market with the Mobile Bluetooth Headset follows the trend. The design is eye-catchingly good - smooth lines and a refined finesse. Everything looks right, and feels right. You can work this from any Bluetooth phone, however for purposes of this review we used the Sony Ericsson T68i.
In the box you get the mobile headset and a neat storage case which doubles as the charger when used with the accompanying power supply. Before use, you have the charge the headset, so let's start with that. The case/charger has a 'spaceage' look about it. Whilst the headset sits neatly in it and looks great, you need the charger and the case when on the move. This isn't ideal if you want to travel light although Logitech do suggest that the headset can go 7 hours between charges.
The headset is light and clipping it to your ear is simple and relatively secure - the headset/ear 'interface' can adjust in a number of directions, so if you have ears like the BFG, it should still fit. The boom microphone can also swivel to the optimum position. Once you have stuck to the side of your face, you have some basic controls - a volume control, and a dubious multi-function button, that turns it on, answers a call, ends a call, and if supported, activates voice dialling.
Talking is normal, and much better than the BodyGlove headset. It is almost no different from using the phone, only you look like something out of Star Trek. As far as the caller is concerned, they have no idea you are using a handsfree headset - the voice quality is as it would be using the phone itself, which these days, is very good. The mic picks up the voice and has the ubiquitous noise-cancelling technology. It's no different to using a cabled or mobile phone, except it isn't in your hand, which is the point. Because it works via Bluetooth and not wireless the phone can be up to 10 metres away - useful for strolling around the house or your office. There is little more to say about the functionality - 'it does what it says on the tin', and does it with no problems.
It's all about functionality to price - the product's performance and design is great. At £80 this is still the budget end of the Bluetooth headset market offering good value for money. With more and more emphasis on the dangers of not using a handsfree option when in the car, this allows you to do that, then take it out of the car, still be wire and handsfree and retain some style while continuing the call.

Hungry Zombie!
Overeating on the weekend really makes not consuming extra calories during the week difficult. I find myself in the kitchen when I'm not hungry. I think I'm going to turn it into a game with my son. Every time I find myself doing it, I'll yell "hungry zombie!" and chase my 2.5 year old around and just gobble and tickle him instead of eating. THAT should distract me.
In searching for that image, I found this zombie related site: The Dead Future. I am going to sift through it and see this rabbit hole that started on Google Image Search goes anywhere.

Florence, October 21-23,2020
COMPENG is a series of international workshops founded in 2010 aimed at providing a forum for experts and professionals working on the latest developments in complexity science and its application in an engineering perspective. The topics of the workshop round on complex systems and engineering, as Data and data-driven systems, Biophysics, Bio-inspired robotics and biomedical engineering, Complex systems and networks, Control in sensor and actuator networks, Communication and Transportation, Ecosystems and climate, Electronic and opto-electronic systems, Laser dynamics, nonlinear optics and opto-mechanics, Machine Learning, Neurotechnology and neuroscience, Nonlinear dynamics and stochastic processes, Smart grids, and Time-series analysis and modelling.
Many real systems can be modeled as networks, where the elements of the system are nodes and interactions between elements are edges. An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline —including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others — and the study of "network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education.
The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications" offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical developments and applications in targeted fields.

Offering your home quick would regularly imply that you have a deal contract set up inside half a month of posting. This is definitely possible if a person will be able to prepare himself well.
When you have settled on the choice to offer and you need quick outcomes, it is smarter to contract a trustworthy deals specialist for the errand. You could likewise list your home on the web and demand that your operator put ads and flyers in neighboring regions. A person may also give the agent an incentive for a sale that is speedy. In the meantime it is important to determine the value that is appropriate for a house. But selling a house quickly should not mean that a person is selling it at any cost. The correct cost will enable you to offer it speedier. Once more, the specialist can help a man in esteeming the house. Check with a few evaluators to ensure that a man isn't underselling.
For a deal that is snappy, it pays to be adaptable in the transactions. It at ties requires a person to reduce the original price. So arrange for the amount you are prepared to arrange. In the event that you don't adhere to your arranged value decrease, odds are you may wind up offering at a much lower cost than the present market esteem. Rundown the advantages of the house and area. And make sure that the house is neat, well-lighted and presentable, both inside and out. A man ought to investigate the house or have an expert inspect it and roll out the vital improvements that will enable it to deal with quick. If required, any leakages or broken fixtures should be replaced. Try to be available most of the time so that a person will not miss any prospective buyer.
At long last, treat your forthcoming viewer consciously, and let him check out the house. Any defects should not be hidden. Rather a man ought to be straightforward on the significant issues, assuming any. This will bring about trust to the relationship. Likewise, obviously show what extras will be incorporated as a feature of the deal. A man may even contact an expert land financial specialist in the event that they need to offer their hose quick. However, they generally tend to pay less when compared to the value in the market. Try not to fall for any unduly appealing arrangements. They have to adhere to their objectives and not to offer the house in trouble. If there is a need for cash that is immediate, try to check on other options for meeting the demand. Something else, a man can wind up in an arrangement that they may later regret.
