Don't make that mistake
Don't Make That Mistake
It seems no matter how long a person has been officiating, and regardless of the sports they work, any official can fall into situations in which his or her judgment or ability is questioned.
Often those situations are a direct result of officiating "errors" that are all too common, and can certainly be avoided under most circumstances with just a little bit of preparation. Look at the following errors, see if you are prone to any of them and then check their solutions to help you improve.
Error: Anticipating the play too much. You're working your umpteenth game of the year, when a seemingly routine play develops. You've seen the play dozens of times, so you turn your head or orient your body away from the action for a moment, to get a jump on where you know the ball is going. The trouble is, the ball never arrives, and you have no clue what happened. Solution: Never anticipate a play to the degree that you turn your attention away from the action. Especially at lower levels, nothing can be assumed.
Error: Anticipating the call. The bad cousin of the previous error, anticipating the call never seems to work. Thinking, "Oh, the shortstop got to that ball in plenty of time, the batter is a dead duck at first," will cause you to blow more calls than a blind man. Solution: Never anticipate the outcome of a play. Let the players determine what the call is to be.
Error: Being out of position. Most coaches can handle a call that happens to go against their team if the official was hustling and in position to make the call. But if you're getting tired and a little lazy, or worse yet, careless, and miss a call, expect to get roasted. Solution: Hustle. You're being paid for a full game — so give it. You've heard it a hundred times: The game you're working is the most important game in the country that day to the participants. Treat it that way by hustling from start to finish.
Error: Letting your concentration wander. You kicked a call, you fought with your spouse, your mother-in-law is coming over, or who is that gorgeous person in the third row? Next thing you know, you've missed a play or a call. Nothing will cause a bad game more often than a simple lack of concentration. Solution: Every play, every pitch, every moment, keep your mind on your business. The players and coaches deserve your attention during the contest, so give it to them. If you're having trouble, get with your partner and ask him to "check" on you.
Error: Being a "hard guy." Those are the officials who always seem to have a chip on their shoulders. Nothing they do can be questioned. Any comments are met with a hand so firm you could hammer nails with it. Those officials are tough to work with and tougher to play under. Solution: If you are a hard guy, lighten up! True control of a game comes with respect of and from all involved. Respect is earned from being fair, approachable and competent. If you're having trouble controlling games, work on those things.
Error: Not knowing the rules thoroughly. There isn't anything much worse than officials who don't know the rules the way they should. Credibility begins and ends there. Solution: Make rules study a part of your regular routine both in and out of season. Get with some friends and quiz each other or discuss scenarios. Develop the muscle between your ears, and you'll be able to carry a game with it more often than not.
There are other errors you'll make, but those are the "killers." Work on your "game behind the game," and rediscover why you became an official.

Simmer Down Now
|Befouled Water Elemental slain (12)
|Tideress slain
DescriptionYou should've seen it, <class>!
The elves thought Silverwind to be impenetrable. With its heavy defenses and their army of water elementals, they were almost right.
One of our mages was able to summon a twisted elemental designed to send the others into a chaotic rage.
Ahh, the looks on their faces!
<Tarkan laughs.>
Unfortunately, the mage who summoned it fell in battle. Now I need someone to bring down our creation.
Well done, <class>.
A fitting end to a textbook assault.

Garmin Etrex 30
Our Most Popular Handheld GPS with 3-axis Compass
- Worldwide basemap
- 2.2" 65K color, sunlight-readable display
- 3-axis compass and barometric altimeter
- Wireless capability to share waypoints, routes and geocaches with other similar devices
- GPS and GLONASS satellites for faster positioning
eTrex 30 takes one of the most popular and reliable GPS handhelds and makes it better. Enhanced ergonomics, an improved interface, paperless geocaching and expanded mapping capabilities makes eTrex more versatile and user-friendly, while maintaining its toughness and durability.
See the Way
eTrex 30 has an enhanced 2.2", 65K color, sunlight-readable display. Durable and water resistant, eTrex 30 is built to withstand the elements. It has an upgraded interface and stands strong against dust, dirt, humidity or water.
New Tools for Your Trek
eTrex 30 adds a built-in 3-axis tilt-compensated electronic compass, which shows your heading even when you're standing still, without holding it level. Also added is a barometric altimeter which tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
Go Anywhere
With an array of compatible mounts, eTrex 30 is designed for use on ATVs, bicycles, in boats, as a handheld or in your car. Use the auto mount capability and City Navigator NT® maps for turn-by-turn driving directions, or the rugged mount for your motorcycle or ATV. Wherever you think you might take eTrex, it has the mapping and mounts to get you there.
Go Global
eTrex is the first-ever consumer-grade receiver that can track both GPS and GLONASS satellites simultaneously. GLONASS is a system developed by the Russian Federation that will be fully operational in 2012. When using GLONASS satellites, the time it takes for the receiver to "lock on" to a position is (on average) approximately 20 percent faster than using GPS. And when using both GPS and GLONASS, the receiver has the ability to lock on to 24 more satellites than using GPS alone.
Add Maps
With its microSD™ card slot and 1.7 GB of internal memory, eTrex 30 lets you load TOPO 24K maps and hit the trail, plug in BlueChart® g2 preloaded cards for a great day on the water or City Navigator NT map data for turn-by-turn routing on roads (see maps tab for compatible maps). eTrex 30 also supports BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (subscription required), that lets you download satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps.
Share Wirelessly
eTrex 30 lets you share your waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches wirelessly with other compatible devices. So now your friends also can enjoy your favorite hike or cache – simply press "send" to transfer your information.
Keep Your Fix
With its high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix® satellite prediction, eTrex locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons.
Find Fun
eTrex 30 supports geocaching GPX files for downloading geocaches and details straight to your unit. Visit Geocaching.com to start your geocaching adventure. By going paperless, you're not only helping the environment but also improving efficiency. eTrex 30 stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper printouts. Simply upload the GPX file to your unit and start hunting for caches.
Plan Your Next Trip
Take charge of your next adventure with BaseCamp™, software that lets you view and organize maps, waypoints, routes, and tracks. This free trip-planning software even allows you to create Garmin Adventuresthat you can share with friends, family or fellow explorers. BaseCamp displays topographic map data in 2-D or 3-D on your computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles. It also can transfer an unlimited amount of satellite images to your device when paired with a BirdsEye Satellite Imagery subscription.
In the box:
- eTrex 30
- USB cable
- Quickstart Guide
Paperless Geocaching
Spend more time in the field and less time fumbling with paper! The eTrex stores and displays key information, including location, terrain, difficulty, hints and descriptions, which means no more manually entering coordinates and paper print outs. Simply upload the geocaching GPX file to your unit and start hunting for caches.
Track More Satellites
Find your way with the first consumer-grade GPS receiver that tracks both GPS and Russian Federation GLONASS satellites simultaneously. When using them together, the receiver has the ability to lock onto 24 more satellites than using GPS alone, ensuring you can "lock on" to a position more quickly.
Pick Your Profile
Customize eTrex for every occasion. Profiles allow eTrex to quickly switch into different configurations that you create, so when you're done geocaching and you need to drive home, your eTrex won't miss a beat.
More Dashboards in More Places
Bring more functionality into your frequently used applications with dashboards. Avoid switching between applications and display more information by customizing them with an altimeter, compass, configurable data fields and more.
Advanced Tracking
Whether following a saved route or planning a new one, eTrex has the tracking features you need. Users can see high and low elevation points or store waypoints along a track (start, finish and high/low altitude) to estimate time and distance between points.
Extensive Map Support
With its microSD™ card slot and large internal memory, eTrex lets you load a variety of maps, including TOPO 24K, BlueChart® g2, City Navigator NT® and BirdsEye™ Satellite Imagery (subscription required).

Today:Yelp scores its first quarterly profits in another busy day for Silicon Valley earnings reports, and Twitter shoots higher after its World Cup score.
The Lead: Yelp posts a profit, still sees growth ahead
Yelp produced the first quarterly profit in corporate history in the spring and increased its forecasts for the full year as the online-reviews site continued to show off burgeoning popularity Wednesday.
The San Francisco company reported net income of $2.7 million, or 4 cents a share, on sales of $88.8 million, representing a gain of 61 percent from the same period a year ago. The results easily beat Wall Street analysts' expectations for the company of a loss of 3 cents per share on revenues of $86.3 million.
Co-founder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman celebrated the company's ability to produce profits for the first time, but insisted his focus was on continued growth and investment.
"While this is an important milestone, we still have a large local opportunity ahead of us," he said in Wednesday's announcement.
Yelp managed to post such strong numbers through increased visitors, with monthly unique visitors to all of Yelp's offerings growing 27 percent year-over-year to 138 million, and mobile users growing 51 percent and nearly equaling half of all visitors at 68 million. The businesses that those visitors are looking up or reviewing also jumped at the chance to advertise on Yelp, as active local business accounts neared 80,000 after year-over-year growth of 55 percent.
The strong quarter led Yelp to increase its forecast for full-year revenues, with the company now expecting to generate sales of $372 million to $375 million in 2014 after posting a 2013 total of $233 million.
Yelp stock jumped 8.8 percent to $75.60 in regular trading Wednesday, then topped $80 in late trading immediately following the results' release, though prices soon calmed down and remained closer to the closing mark.
Eleven other SV150 companies released their earnings reports Wednesday, with the largest profits and revenues belonging to Fremont chip company Lam Research. Lam, the 26th-largest tech company in Silicon Valley, reported net income of $233.4 million, or $1.35 a share, on sales of $1.25 billion, and shares dropped about 1.5 percent in late trading after closing at $67.89. Redwood City photo-services website Shutterfly lost $27.1 million in the second quarter, or 70 cents a share, on sales of $159.1 million, and shares moved about 1 percent higher after closing at $47.49. Ruckus Wireless earned $1.44 million, or 2 cents a share, on sales of $81 million, and its shares moved about 3.5 percent higher after closing with a 3 percent gain at $12.96. Rovi lost $2.6 million, or 3 cents a share, on sales of $137.1 million and saw little movement in late trading following a close at $23.71.
Cavium announced the acquisition of fellow San Jose networking company Xpliant, which it had invested in, for about $90 million Wednesday, and showed off a quarterly net loss of $11 million, or 21 cents a share, on sales of $90.7 million. Sunnyvale flash-memory company Spansion seemed to be the day's big post-earnings loser, dropping 13 percent after announcing losses of $12 million, or 20 cents a share, on sales of $314.7 million. Coherent reported profits of $13 million, or 52 cents a share, on sales of $196.5 million, and FormFactor lost $4.3 million, or 8 cents a share, on sales of $67.4 million. Equinix earned $10.1 million, or 22 cents a share, on revenues of $605.2 million, and the Redwood City data-center company moved about 1.5 percent higher after closing at $215.75. Nanometrics lost $588,000, or 2 cents a share, on sales of $48 million, and Silicon Image earned $1.1 million, or a penny a share, on sales of $59.5 million.
SV150 market report: Twitter roars 20 percent higher
Wall Street's major indexes moved little Wednesday, after the federal government announced that economic growth in the second quarter experienced a large leap to 4 percent and the Federal Reserve gave no hints about when it would increase interest rates. Technology stocks did experience strong gains, though, as Twitter's explosive post-earnings increase helped Silicon Valley tech stocks gain 0.7 percent on the day.
Twitter shot 20 percent higher after showing off strong user growth and better than expected revenues in the same quarter that soccer fans turned to the social network to discuss the World Cup. Analysts tripped over themselves to increase price targets and cheer Twitter's results, with Topeka Capital Markets analyst Victor Anthony writing that the results "should represent a breakout quarter for Twitter." Despite the positive notes, analysts still doubted CEO Dick Costolo's contention that the user gains were not a result of the World Cup, which would bolster bears' case that the gains could be a one-time boost. Twitter moved as high as $48 Wednesday before closing at $46.30, its highest closing price since April Fools' Day, and it acquired yet another small tech startup.
Netflix jumped 2.4 percent to $434.36 after striking an interconnection deal with AT&T, similar to the Los Gatos video-on-demand company's previous deals with Comcast and Verizon. Tesla Motors moved 1.7 percent higher to $228.92 a day ahead of its expected earnings report, as Morgan Stanley predicted Tesla could double its 2013 revenues with battery sales for solar power collection. Facebook couldn't match rival Twitter's gains, but the Menlo Park company gained 1.3 percent to $74.68 after ditching its e-commerce attempt dubbed Gifts. Sunnyvale's Applied Micro began shipping server chips in a challenge to Intel, but investors punished its weak earnings report from Tuesday by sending shares down 9.9 percent to $8.71; Intel gained 0.5 percent to $34.35.
Up: Twitter, Yelp, Workday, Splunk, GoPro, LinkedIn, VMware, Salesforce, Yahoo, Netflix, Tesla, Nvidia, NetApp, Facebook, Pandora
Down: Adobe, Cisco, Apple, Zynga
The SV150 index of Silicon Valley's largest tech companies: Up 11.5, or 0.74 percent, to 1,575
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index: Down 31.75, or 0.19 percent, to 16,880.36
The blue chip Dow Jones industrial average: Up 20.2, or 0.45 percent, to 4,462.9
And the widely watched Standard & Poor's 500 index: Up 0.12, or 0.01 percent, to 1,970.07

Product Description
Pink Salon Life Hexagon Patch
The Basics:
♥ This patch measures 2.5″ H X 2.5″ W
♥ Superb quality polyester thread makes the colors so vibrant and durable!
♥ Machine embroidered with the highest quality embroidery thread on felt.
♥ Iron adhesive has been applied to each patch prior to shipment. We also recommended sewing your patch for added durability with normal wear on clothing.
♥ Each patch is hand-cut and made in the USA by a small handmade business!
♥ Iron or sew on to jackets, vests, blankets, pillows, totes, and much more!
Quality Thread, Best Product
Machine embroidered with the highest quality thread on felt. Iron adhesive has been applied to each patch prior to shipment. We also recommended sewing your patch for added durability with normal wear on clothing.
Check out our Youtube video below for an instructional video on patch application!
Instructions for applying your patch:
1. Prewash the item you would like to use your patch on. Cotton works best!
2. Pre-heat your iron to the cotton setting, but keep the steam setting off! Lay your garment on an ironing board, towel or a heat tolerant surface.
3. Place patch over the desired area, and with a heat tolerant cloth (not too thick!) or parchment paper, press firmly for 30 seconds. Do not move the iron! Only firmly press as moving motions will cause the patch to shift.
4. Turn your garment inside out and press for another 30-60 seconds.
5. Allow the garment to cool completely. We like to check if there is any spots we missed and repeat step 4.
6. (Optional, but highly recommended!) Sew along the edges of your patch with matching thread color for added stability!
*You can also use these on denim and other fabrics, but please keep in mind the thicker the fabric the hard it is for the adhesive on the back to reach to it with the heat of the iron! Sewing is best for thick fabrics! Unsure if this will work? Send us a message and we can let you know which application would be better for the type of fabric/project you want to apply to!
Custom or Wholesale Orders?
Need a custom one or a wholesale order? Message me and I would be happy to make them for you!

I finally caved and picked up a new full-sized iPad this week, so it stands to reason that this Week in Gaming Apps be bigger and higher resolution than the last, with a plug that doesn't fit any other the ones that came before it.
I've only had the iPad 4 since Monday, and I've already filled two pages with games, thanks to a robust crop of new iOS releases this week. We finally got Real Racing 3, which I wasn't quite as pleased with as I had hoped I'd be. We also got a new Alien Vs. Predator title, which put the recent console release to shame, not that it was a particularly difficult feat.
But wait, there's more! There's a new Toy Story game, a little Hello Kitty (if you're nasty), and an excellent opportunity for me to include a picture of my cat in the Week in Gaming Apps. I'm calling it a success.
Here's what we've played this week!
MegaFlux — Free
A cool little take on pipe-type puzzles, directing power to processors in nano tubes.
Arcade strategy at its smallest and finest. How have I missed this game?
Ark of the Ages — $1.99
A full-on 3D dungeon-crawler type RPG from the folks at XSeed. Swipe-based combat is a blast!
Hello Kitty Seasons Beauty Salon — Free
Shut up.
Gravity Duck — $.99
A pixelated puzzle platformer featuring a duck with the ability to manipulate his gravimetric field. Challenging and fun!
Toy Story: Smash It! — $.99 [also on Android]
It's like Angry Birds in 3D with Toy Story characters. This is a good thing.
Up in Flames — $.99
More Angry Birds-ish destruction, only this time there's fire involved. Everybody loves fire.
Slingshot Puzzle — $1.99
An incredibly pretty little physics puzzle game involving a brass slingshot and 126 levels of ball-bouncing goodness.
Spellstorm — Free [also on Android]
Another card-collecting battle game, but this one has some great animations instead of just making you watch numbers appear on the screen.
The Silent Age — Free
The first episode of what promises to be an amazing time-twisting point-and-click style adventure saga.
Minako's Style — Free
I just picked up this one to take pictures of my cat.
8 Ball Pool — $.99 [also on Android]
An online pool game in which one player wins because the other leaves when they realize this is an online pool game.

Dress and Appearance
Get answers to questions about the standards of the Church. Choose a topic above to see more.
What does it mean to be modest?
"Modesty is an attitude of humility and decency in dress, grooming, language, and behavior. If you are modest, you do not draw undue attention to yourself. Instead, you seek to 'glorify God in your body, and in your spirit' (1 Corinthians 6:20; see also verse 19)" (True to the Faith, 106).Close
How can I know if what I am wearing is appropriate?
"If you are unsure about whether your dress or grooming is modest, ask yourself, 'Would I feel comfortable with my appearance if I were in the Lord's presence?' " (True to the Faith, 106).Close
Besides wearing modest clothing, what other standards are there for personal dress and grooming?
"In addition to avoiding clothing that is revealing, you should avoid extremes in clothing, appearance, and hairstyle. In dress, grooming, and manners, always be neat and clean, never sloppy or inappropriately casual. Do not disfigure yourself with tattoos or body piercings. If you are a woman and you desire to have your ears pierced, wear only one pair of modest earrings" (True to the Faith, 107).Close
Why should other people care how I dress?
"Revealing and sexually suggestive clothing, which includes short shorts and skirts, tight clothing, and shirts that do not cover the stomach, can stimulate desires and actions that violate the Lord's law of chastity" (True to the Faith, 107).Close
Why should I care about the way I dress?
"Your clothing expresses who you are. It sends messages about you, and it influences the way you and others act. When you are well groomed and modestly dressed, you can invite the companionship of the Spirit and exercise a good influence on those around you" (True to the Faith, 107).Close
Why should I dress modestly?
"Prophets have always counseled us to dress modestly. This counsel is founded on the truth that the human body is God's sacred creation. Respect your body as a gift from God. Through your dress and appearance, you can show the Lord that you know how precious your body is. . . .
"Maintain high standards of modesty for all occasions. Do not lower your standards to draw attention to your body or to seek approval from others. True disciples of Jesus Christ maintain the Lord's standard regardless of current fashions or pressure from others" (True to the Faith, 107).Close
Why shouldn't I get body piercings?
"Latter-day prophets strongly discourage the piercing of the body except for medical purposes. If girls or women desire to have their ears pierced, they are encouraged to wear only one pair of modest earrings. Those who choose to disregard this counsel show a lack of respect for themselves and for God. They will someday regret their decision" (True to the Faith, 27).Close
Why should I dress nicely for Church meetings?
"It offends God when we come into His house, especially on His holy day, not groomed and dressed in the most careful and modest manner that our circumstances permit. . . . Some say dress and hair don't matter—they say it's what's inside that counts. I believe that it is what's inside a person that truly counts, but that's what worries me. Casual dress at holy places and events is a message about what is inside a person. It may be pride or rebellion or something else, but at a minimum it says, 'I don't get it. I don't understand the difference between the sacred and the profane.' . . . You are a Saint of the great latter-day dispensation—look the part. . . .
"Acting and dressing in a way to honor sacred events and places is about God." (D. Todd Christofferson, "A Sense of the Sacred," New Era, June 2006, 30).Close
What's wrong with getting a tattoo?
"Latter-day prophets strongly discourage the tattooing of the body. Those who disregard this counsel show a lack of respect for themselves and for God. The Apostle Paul taught of the significance of our bodies and the danger of purposefully defiling them: 'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are' (1 Corinthians 3:16–17).
"If you have a tattoo, you wear a constant reminder of a mistake you have made. You might consider having it removed" (True to the Faith, 167).Read more... Close
How can I truly feel that I am beautiful?
"'Deep beauty' [is] the kind of beauty that shines from the inside out. It is the kind of beauty that cannot be painted on, surgically created, or purchased. It is the kind of beauty that doesn't wash off. It is spiritual attractiveness. Deep beauty springs from virtue. It is the beauty of being chaste and morally clean. . . . It is a beauty that is earned through faith, repentance, and honoring covenants.
"The world places so much emphasis on physical attractiveness and would have you believe that you are to look like the elusive model on the cover of a magazine. The Lord would tell you that you are each uniquely beautiful" (Elaine S. Dalton, "Remember Who You Are!" March 2010 general Young Women meeting).Close

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and the internets to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•Like the giant statue of Saddam Hussein pulled down in Baghdad, fans gravitated towards the giant LeBron James billboard downtown, only to find it guarded by police. Angry Clevelanders will just have to destroy their city the old-fashioned way: a long slow economic decline marked by the departure of industry and a sustained flight to the suburbs.
•Meanwhile, on ESPN2...The Major League Lacrosse all-star game went off without a hitch, with nary a Jim Gray in sight. Team USA scored the dramatic go-ahead goal with a minute remaining, and TV ratings were probably impressive because, let's face it, if you're watching MLL, you've probably divorced yourself from mainstream sports long ago.
•The NBA's a confusing, confusing place. Free agents' current teams can offer more, because in Stern's head, this is an incentive to stay with one team. So they invented the sign and trade. David Lee is heading to Golden State for a forward potpourri, and he's going to be making more money, and for longer, than LeBron.
•Hope you haven't stored your righteous sports outrage away for the summer yet, only intending to retrieve it from the closet when Roethlisberger returns to play. Reports have the Yankees as clear front-runners to land Cliff Lee from the Mariners. Six quality starting pitchers? Why, that excess could only be compared to a hypothetical situation in which one basketball team signed three max salary players!
•Ubaldo Jimenez became the first pitcher to win 15 games before the All-Star break since — you'll never guess — David Wells for Toronto in 2000. Wells "only" won 20 that year, but comparing silhouettes, I don't think Jimenez will have any of the same conditioning and stamina problems.
Good morning. Does everyone feel a little dirtier today, or is it just me?

Sony Corp on Monday priced its latest PlayStation 4 console $100 lower than the new Xbox One by rival Microsoft Corp as competition for gamers' pockets intensifies ahead of the year-end holidays and gift-giving season.
Sony said it would sell the latest PlayStation model for $399 late in the year shortly after Microsoft announced a $499 price tag for its first new Xbox in eight years and said it would go on sale in the United States in November.
Sony also drew cheers from the audience at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles when it said the PS4 would run second-hand games and did not require an always-on Internet connection.
Microsoft had earlier elicited groans from gamers when it announced restrictions on used games for the Xbox One and said players had to log onto the Internet for authentication.
"The PlayStation 4 won't impose any new restrictions on used games," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America as the audience whistled and applauded.
Microsoft and Sony hope the consoles will attract new fans and retain users who are increasingly playing games on smartphones and other mobile devices, gradually diminishing the $66 billion video game business. Both companies are also offering more entertainment options.
The Xbox 360 is currently the best-selling gaming console in the United States, but global sales are almost on par with the PlayStation 3.
The new Xbox and PlayStation are both pricier than the $300 Wii U which Nintendo Co Ltd launched late last year but which has sold poorly, partly due to a dearth of new gaming titles. Nintendo is expected to announce new games for the device at the E3 on Tuesday.
Sony did not give details about original programming content for the PS4 but said new game titles would include Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag by Ubisoft and Kingdom Hearts III by Disney Interactive Studios and Square Enix Holdings Co Ltd.
"It's a very compelling price… given the entertainment PS4 will provide to gamers," Sony Computer Entertainment President and CEO Andrew House told the E3 event.
The Xbox One is costlier than the current Xbox 360 and includes a Kinect motion sensor for hands-free game playing. Microsoft also announced several exclusive game titles, including a rendition of 'Minecraft' and a new installment in the popular 'Halo' franchise, which will be released in 2014.
The device will go on sale in 21 countries, including Britain, before the year-end holidays, the company said. Yusuf Mehdi, an executive at Microsoft's interactive entertainment unit, did not set any sales targets for the new Xbox.

So I mentioned yesterday that the 5k was great, and it really was. I didn't know what to really expect because I hadn't been training specifically for anything. Up until last week I wasn't going to even be able to run in it because I thought I was going to be out of town. Last minute plans changed and I was able to race in it. I haven't run a 5k since my senior year in high school, and I didn't want to set my expectations too high to only get them crushed. It was a pretty small race (290 racers) through a park nearby my house.
So yesterday, I didn't want to wake up. I was so tired and thought, gosh I'm going to have to RACE?! ARGH! Anyways, I got up, then had a dilemma of what I was going to wear. I couldn't decide between a long sleeve, or a short sleeve. I finally showed up to my cousins house since we were carpooling over with her boyfriend's sister, and played a little with "preshie" (who we had to change the name to patchy after we found out he was actually a boy like four weeks after I found him. You can read his story and how I found him on the side of the road during a run and my cousins adopted him here) Here's a little picture of me and him. He was being a feisty little boy!
We took off over to the race course and parked and wandered around for a little bit. It was fun to be at such a small race. I felt like everyone there was friendly and there was some serious people watching going on. I ran for maybe 2 minutes and stretched only my calves. Before races I never stretch and I never warm up. Another bad habit. The race finally seemed ready to start so everyone was lined up. I thought I was near enough the front of the start that I would be able to get out and get a good start. WRONG. For some reason there were some walkers in the front and I had an awful start. I was zigzagging to get around them and get going. I hate the start of the race. I thought to myself, Okay, 23 minutes. You can do this. Oh, by the way, I talk to myself a lot in my head when I run, especially when I race.
I was at a pretty good pace going into the first mile, but I was scared I wasn't going to be able to keep the pace. I hit the first mile at 7:15, and I thought, hey pretty good. Alright, we can do this. I was chugging along and just kept reeling people in and trying to pass them. There was a turn around and that's when I realized there were only about six women in front of me, or women who I thought looked like women. Thinking to myself, I figured if I could pass three I would get third. I then, mid-race, made this my new goal. I worked at passing and I could just hear my coach in my head from high school screaming at me, only good things of course. I hit the 2nd mile at 14:24. I never have had a split so perfect without even trying. I was like, okay, I'm on course for a good time here. I was running by a boy who was around 16. I knew I was annoying him too. I would have been annoying myself if I was running next to me. I was so focused and just used him to pace me. I could tell he was thinking, I can't let this girl pass me.
I passed two of the girls and there was one more older women in front of me out of the women I wanted to pass. Now, I am wearing a long sleeve shirt that is not running related at all, just a green long sleeve. I'm also wearing black leggings from Walmart. This woman was wearing super short racing shorts, a pink sports bra, and racing sunglasses and overpronated like nothing I've ever seen before. She was incredibly tan and was just skin and bones. I literally kept thinking that she might break her leg from overpronating, or her hip was going to give out, it was crazy. Then I thought, I can't let her beat me. So I worked the last mile just on trying to get even with her. With about 400 meters left to go, I was even with her, when her husband, who had already finished, ran back from the finish line and with his long stringy brown hair flowing behind his equally skinny and tanned body with equally short shorts and an awkwardly tight muscle tee, he shouted to her, "Come on! Don't let that woman beat you!" I though, oh hellllll no you didn't just say that. I also freaked out kind of because he called me a woman. I'm not a girl anymore?
Anyways, I sprinted in and beat her, and the guy I was pacing myself with the whole time, ha ha! As we finished she said something to me about drinking too much coffee, and how it was suppose to be all natural. Weird. Then I went back in front of the finish and found my cousin finishing, who beat her old 5k time of 30:00 and finished at 29:16. Then we went to look for her boyfriend's sister who also accomplished a great feat in running the whole race! Then I realized I could get a medal. For me racing is all about the hardware so I was super excited. I found the race results and it had me placing sixth female and first in my age division. Now I know there were not six women in front of me, so I assume I thought some men were women. Awkward, but that's their problem I guess. So I got a lovely first place finishing medal, blue ribbon and all. My final time was 22:28 and I was 27th overall. Here are some pictures from the race.
The expo was pretty fun after, though none of us won a raffle prize, the Laker girls were there. Super cool, not. Other than that a successful day! I kind of wonder what would have happened if I actually trained for something though, like worked my tail off and got really after it with my training. This is also related to my confession that I promised you guys. Well I am becoming slowly obsessed with running a marathon. You've all done it to me. I've gotten the marathon itch. I can't stop thinking about it, how I can train for it, everything. I figure, and call me crazy, but I know if I actually trained and had a goal time and everything that I could possibly qualify for Boston, and now I've become even more obsessed with that. So I am thinking of doing a marathon in October. The Portland Marathon to be exact. More on this soon when I come to my senses and realize that it's a horrible idea. :)
So after all that, we still have our gift of the day… For all those male runners in your life… this is great gift!
First we have one from Revel Sports. They have super fun Running, Biking, and Swimming Ties that are printed on heavyweight 14M silk twill. I don't know what this "generously cut" means but they are 3.3/4″ wide x 56″ long. They are $31.99 and can be found here.
That was the nice tie, these are more funny running ties.
This is the GO PRE tie. BUT, it looks like PREGO TIE!? Made me laugh. It's 37.45 and can be found here.
Here's the Peace, Love, Run Tie, again, random, but kind of cool? Find it for 31.75 here.

Litchfield County towns pick up the pieces after Hurricane Sandy (with slide show)
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, area schools, businesses and town offices were either closed or had delayed openings Tuesday. Only eight Litchfield County towns are more than 50% without power, Tuesday morning with the larger cities like Torrington and Winsted being only about 20% without power.
In comparison to other parts of Connecticut, Torrington fared well following Sandy's churn up the Eastern United States.
Residents awoke Tuesday to some downed trees and power line damages, but city and utility crews worked through the night to make sure travel was possible. As of 10 a.m., Connecticut Light & Power was reporting an estimated 3,000 Torrington residents without power -- about 20 percent of the city's population -- and city officials are reporting only one closed road: Cedar Lane.
According to acting Fire Department Chief Gary Brunoli, no incidents involving people or structures were reported through the storm, which reached gusts of 75 miles per hour in some parts. Fire crews only responded to downed wires and tree limbs blocking roads, and with the department of public works and CL&P, managed to clear roadways for the morning commute.
Torrington Emergency Management Director Rick Dalla Valle reported Tuesday evening that city officials are lifting the state of emergency ban and have closed the emergency operations center, following the successful reaction and clean-up effort caused by storm Sandy.
Debris has been cleared by Torrington Public Works crew members, but they will not be cleaning up debris in private property, like they did last year. "We don't have the resources to do that again," Dalla Valle said.
Residents can place yard waste in biodegradable bags as an alternative, or in bundles not exceeding 50 pounds, according to a city press release. Individual branches measuring up to four feet long and three inches in diameter can be placed with waste, and left during the same day as garbage pickup.
Winsted residents may be in the dark -- superintendent of schools Thomas Danehy said that 22 percent of the town is without power as of 5 p.m. -- but the lessons of 2011's severe storms were not lost on Winsted officials.
Town Manager Dale Martin confirmed that there were no injuries or deaths as a result of the hurricane, although fallen trees damaged two houses in town.
"I think they punched some holes in the roofs," Martin said, "but the families are still able to live in those homes."
Connecticut Light and Power was directed by state government to clear roads before focusing on restoring power, and that work is continuing in Winsted.
As of 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Finn Street, Platt Hill Road, Mountain Avenue, Rugg Brook Road, Skinner Road, Losaw Road, Vons Lane and Spring Street were closed, but crews had already reopened Losaw Road as of 2 p.m. and were working to restore access to the rest of the streets.
"The state decided that should be CL&P's priority," Martin said.
Unlike the winter storm which hit Connecticut just over one year earlier, Winsted residents should not be left without power for prolonged periods. Connecticut Light and Power will work on restoring electricity overnight, and Winsted officials made arrangements before the hurricane hit to avoid the 10-day outages from the winter storm.
"As a result of the last storms," said Martin, "we had three out-of-state crews positioned in town before the storm hit, so we were ready to respond."
Litchfield First Selectman Leo Paul said they have 1,800 residents without power and a number of roads closed and still working with CL&P. There are 11 roads that are now closed that is expected to be cleared today.
"That will be our first priority today," said Mr. Paul on Tuesday.
First Selectman Leo Paul said, "We're perfectly happy with what they [CL&P] are doing with us, we had a crew in the outset of the storm they helped us clear roads up until 9:30 p.m. and they are back here today working with public works today."
First Selectman Leo Paul said Halloween is still on in Litchfield, however, their entire center of our town is without power. "We will have to decide tomorrow."
Morris First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti said half of the Morris community are without power. The last reported to her was 700 approximately more or less.
There are two roads that are blocked, a tree crew from the town garage are going to it. Woodward Road and Isaiah Smith Lane should be cleared this morning.
"I have one square mile area of farms in the Lakeside section [of Morris] that are all without power," said Mrs. Bongiolatti. "They are trying to run these farms. We have one man on oxygen on Stoddard Road we are just concerned."
The emergency operation center was open yesterday at 4 p.m. and the fire department worked well into the night and the emergency operation center is open if anybody needs anything.
"Right at this point they [CL&P] are only clearing roads, I am not too happy that they can't start restoring power. It's a serious situation," said Morris First Selectman Barbara Bongiolatti.
Lisa Galinski, in charge of Trunk or Treat said -- Trunk or Treat is still on for [Wednesday], we're doing the trunk or treat from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at James Morris School, if it rains it will be in Morris Firehouse. Halloween overall is still on in the towns.
Bethlehem First Selectman Jeffrey Hamel said Bethlehem continues to have wires, falling trees down like other towns there is a lot of debris in the roads. "CL&P is here and doing what they can," said Mr. Hamel.
Superintendent Alan Beitman said they are waiting to see if they will have school tomorrow.
They have power at all 4 schools even though Harwinton was hit the worst.
A lot of roads are closed so Beitman is working with the buses and road crews. If they can't get the roads cleared and open then schools will be closed tomorrow.
The hurricane did not impact much as far as major events go.
Beitman said that the interscholastic tournaments for high school sports teams are waiting to hear from the SCIA about rescheduling since a lot of the teams they play are in towns without power.

IRVINE, Calif. - Real Salt Lake was joined by three familiar faces in camp on Sunday, as team captain Kyle Beckerman, defender Tony Beltran and midfielder Ned Grabavoy returned to the team after significant spells away.
Sunday was the first day that Beckerman and Beltran have been with the Claret-and-Cobalt this preseason. Both players were with the U.S. national team for its annual January camp, training at the Home Depot Center in nearby Carson, Calif. for several weeks before drawing Canada 0-0 in a friendly in Houston on Jan. 29. Beckerman and Beltran both started against Canada, with Beckerman captaining the side and playing 74 minutes and Beltran playing the first half to earn his first senior cap.
Grabavoy returns to RSL after spending the last week and a half with his wife following the recent birth of their twin babies.
All three players took part in training on Sunday. Grabavoy almost missed the session after experiencing travel delays, but arrived just in time to participate in the full session.
RSL will not train on Monday, instead taking on the University of California-Irvine in a scrimmage at the UCI campus.

Rennline�s Track Mats give your interior the purposeful look of a racing Porsche and are the perfect solution for protecting your interior from the wear and tear of track driving. The only aluminum floor mat of its kind on the market, Rennline�s Track Mats are inspired by the floor design of factory Cup Cars to provide drivers a smooth flooring surface that enables the quick footwork demanded of track driving.
Rennline�s Track Mats are constructed from lightweight anodized aluminum, weigh less than two pounds, and are stamped with reinforcing ribs for strength. They fit precisely over the contours of Porsche floors and affix with Velcro or can be permanently mounted if desired.
For automobiles with molded one piece carpets, Track Mats fit directly over the non-removable floor carpeting and can be covered completely with the factory floor mats when not in use. One of the main benefits of Track Mats for these automobiles is the protection they afford the floor carpeting, which wears rapidly when the loose floor mats are removed for track driving.
For automobiles with removable carpets, Track Mats attach directly to the floors with Velcro, bind the inner rocker and center tunnel carpeting in place, and prevent wear to the soft sound deadener surface of the factory floor pans. When not in use, Track Mats can be removed or simply covered with the stock floor mats.

The Zyxel PMG5622GA is a next-generation Dual-band Wireless ONT Home Gateway Unit (HGU) with RF overlay.
The Zyxel PMG5622GA is a next-generation Dual-band Wireless ONT Home Gateway Unit (HGU) with RF overlay.
The Zyxel PMG5622GA is a next-generation Dual-band Wireless ONT Home Gateway Unit (HGU) with RF overlay. The PMG5622GA is fully compliant with the GPON ITU-T G.984.x standards and Wireless IEEE 802.11 ac/n to provide... ultra-high speed fiber access along with 4-ports GbE LAN for wired connectivity, 2-port FXS port for VoIP services, one USB 2.0 port, one coaxial cable output for CATV service in addition to a Wireless LAN with 2x2 11ac and 2x2 11n configurations. The ultra-thin design minimizes the housing height to 32mm with brushed finished surface. It not only makes the PMG5622GA an advanced optical terminal Home Gateway Unit, but also a delicate, elegant decoration for the interior space.
In recent years, the demand for broadband bandwidth has been growing dramatically. Since the downstream spectrum is mostly dominated by various video services with DOCSIS technology, only a small portion of bandwidth can be allocated... to High-Speed Internet (HSI) services. This makes the per-bit cost to be significantly higher in a DOCSIS/Hybrid Fiber Coaxial (HFC) network comparing to GPON networks.
Due to the fact that DOCSIS 3.1 is incompatible with existing DOCSIS 3.0, operators must replace the existing CMTS and modems, rebuild the network for US capacity and reassign license frequency once they decide to migrate to the latest... standard. The transition takes a vast amount of cost and time, not to mention service interruptions. On the contrary, the investment for a GPON infrastructure is sustainable for future bandwidth expansions as it can be reused for the next-generation 10 GPON deployments and has better upgradability than DOCSIS 3.1 as well.
Comparing to expensive HFC topologies, the GPON network topology can also significantly minimize operating and maintenance costs. It's not just because that the passive Outside Plant (OSP) architecture doesn't need take power... feeding into consideration, the fiber optical cable is less sensitive to the temperature variation than traditional copper coaxial cable as well–which makes investments on the infrastructure to sustain longer. Another key benefit for operators to consider GPON as an option for migration is the extra 1550 nm wavelength band support. With the band, the Zyxel PMG5622GA is capable of carrying the legacy CATV signal to enjoy uninterrupted benefits from the return of current assets.
Internet evolves rapidly as more and more services and applications keep on their pace of innovation. With continuous growth of smart homes, high-definition TV, virtual reality and augmented reality, the need for higher transmission speed is growing quickly as well. To meet the bandwidth demand, GPON is an essential technology to help service providers satisfying bandwidth demands not only for now, but also for the future. Unlike traditional copper- or coaxial-based infrastructures with one-time investment on fiber, service providers can now deploy an all IP-based, future-proof network with lower management cost.
The RF overlay technology enables GPON networks to carry legacy CATV signals along with Gigabit data services to guarantee continuous income from the existing investments as traditional CATV services are still a valuable asset for the local MSO.
The Zyxel PMG5622GA Dual-Band Wireless AC/N GPON HGU with 4-port GbE LAN adopts a triplexer to separate the 1550 nm wavelength that transmitted along with data signals through single fiber and turns it back into CATV signals. With the Zyxel E2E solution, operators can renew CATV services through OMCI, which enables the operators to update service profiles or renew service packages conveniently with just a click.
As the number of wireless home devices increases, wireless LAN is becoming the key of resident connectivity and the major factor for service providers to differentiate their services. Since access data rate of the WAN is no longer a bottleneck for end users with GPON technology, operators are looking for higher WiFi transmission speeds to ensure high-speed data and multimedia applications can reach every corner in homes or offices.
Leveraging the expertise from the development of Zyxel's professional wireless AP, Zyxel's PMG5622GA not only adopts the latest 802.11ac technology but also comes with optimized WiFi circuit design to ensure superior, stable wireless performance on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With Front-end Module (FEM) on board, the PMG5622GA can further enhance the transmission power and receiver linearity to improve the overall wireless coverage for guaranteed seamless WiFi experience that leads to better customer satisfaction.
The Zyxel PMG5622GA Dual-Band Wireless AC/N GPON HGU with 4-port GbE LAN comes with the Zyxel-specific OMCI parameter that works perfectly with Zyxel's own EMS and OLT systems. With the E2E-capable parameters, Zyxel provides not only the standard parameters defined by OMCI, but also some specific parameters that help service providers to diagnose, operate and manage their fiber networks.
Together with the Zyxel E2E EMS & OLT system, the Zyxel ONT supports a unique auto-provisioning feature that helps service providers to easily provision WAN and VoIP configurations without the need to send technicians to the field for configuration setups.

It was amazing for me to watch my son who had previously resisted my every attempt at getting him to write his letters. Today he sat with his Left Handed Writing book and markers and happily went through page after page. Because I'm not left-handed it's easy for me to forget the obstacles he faces, but I can see that I will likely be using your website in the future to provide left handed gear for my son.<

Searches – Dog Sniff on Curtilage – Good-Faith Actions
State v. Scull, 2014 WI App 17 (filed 28 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: The good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule applied in a case in which police obtained a search warrant based in part on a dog sniff that, under a later-decided case, was unlawful under the Fourth Amendment.
SUMMARY: In 2010, acting on reliable information uncovered during a drug investigation, police officers took a trained drug-sniffing dog to the defendant's house. The dog "alerted" near the front door of the house. The police department did not have a warrant at the time of the "sniff" but later obtained one based on the sniff as well as on other information. When executing the warrant, police officers seized drug-related evidence. The circuit court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss.

edu thomas.hammer marquette Prof. Thomas J. Hammer, Marquette 1975, is a law professor and Director of Clinical Education at Marquette University Law School, Milwaukee.
The court of appeals affirmed in an opinion written by Judge Brennan, which assayed the changed legal landscape. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Florida v. Jardines, 133 S. Ct. 1409 (2013), that a drug dog's alert at the front door of a residence, as occurred here, constituted a warrantless search (trespass) of the defendant's home, thus violating the Fourth Amendment (see ¶ 12). Jardines cut against myriad cases to the contrary. Moreover, the court of appeals held, the taint from the warrantless sniff-search at Scull's doorstep in turn invalidated the search warrant later obtained by the police (see ¶ 13).
Nonetheless, the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule saved the search in this case. The court of appeals recounted in some detail how "the process used in obtaining the search warrant included a significant investigation" (for example, the dog had proved its ability in 200 other cases, and the human informant had provided reliable information in the past) (¶¶ 18-20) (internal quotations and citation omitted). Most important, the police acted with an "objectively reasonable belief that their conduct did not violate the Fourth Amendment" based on pre-Jardines case law. Thus, the suppression of evidence would exact too high a cost on the judiciary's truth-seeking function while not deterring any unlawful police conduct (see ¶ 22).
Judge Kessler dissented. She agreed that Jardines invalidated the search warrant but disagreed that the good-faith exception saved the evidence discovered during the search itself because the dog sniff was the linchpin of the probable-cause determination.
Interrogations – Minors – Voluntariness – Incomplete Recording
State v. Moore, 2014 WI App 19 (filed 14 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: Statements made by a 15 year old during police interrogation were voluntary, and the unrecorded parts of the questioning did not contravene the statutes requiring the recording of juvenile interrogations.
SUMMARY: Moore was convicted of second-degree homicide based on his involvement in a shooting. Before trial, Moore moved to suppress statements he had made while being questioned on grounds that they were involuntary and that police officers had failed to comply with statutes requiring the recording of all statements made by juveniles when they are in police custody. Moore was 15 years old when interrogated, but some of his statements were not recorded, allegedly at his own request. The circuit court denied his motion.
The court of appeals affirmed in an opinion written by Judge Curley. First, Moore's statements were voluntary, that is, police officers had not overborne his free will through coercive tactics. The court balanced Moore's personal characteristics and behavior (for example, his young age, his crying during questioning, his limited intelligence) against the "police interrogation tactics." The police officers had done "an exemplary job ensuring that Moore understood his rights" by encouraging Moore to "read along" with them and "restate some of the warnings in his own words" (¶ 36). The court also commented on the timing and duration of various interrogations and said that Wisconsin has no per se rule requiring notification of juveniles' parents before police officers begin questioning (see ¶ 38).
Second, the police officers did not violate State v. Jerrell C.J., 2005 WI 105, 283 Wis. 2d 145, 699 N.W.2d 110,or Wis. Stat. section 938.195 or 938.31 by not recording part of Moore's interrogation (see ¶ 42). Based on the interrogation transcript, Moore "refused to respond or cooperate" within the statutes' meaning when he insisted that the recordings be stopped at one point (¶ 46). Police officers took "great care to ensure that Moore was affirmatively refusing to cooperate" and made a "contemporaneous" record of his unrecorded statement, as required by statute (¶¶ 47-48).
Judge Kessler concurred, writing separately to agree with the "outcome" of the case. She did not believe that Moore refused to respond or cooperate with the recording process but concluded that any error was harmless.
Confessions – Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel – Valid Miranda Waiver
State v. Delebreau, 2014 WI App 21 (filed 7 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: Miranda warnings sufficed for a waiver of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel; his appearance with counsel on pending charges did not presumptively invalidate later questioning.
SUMMARY: On April 14, while in custody on a probation hold, the defendant was charged with party to the crime of delivering heroin and appeared in court with a lawyer. Police officers met with the defendant on April 15 in response to his request, made before April 9, to speak with drug investigators. He waived his Miranda rights and gave a recorded and written statement. The circuit court denied the defendant's motion to suppress the statements made on April 15, which the state then introduced against the defendant at trial. He was convicted of the heroin offense.
The court of appeals affirmed in an opinion written by Judge Hoover that plumbs the "muddy waters" of Forbush I (State v. Forbush, 2010 WI App 11, 323 Wis. 2d 258, 779 N.W.2d 476), Forbush II (State v. Forbush, 2011 WI 25, 332 Wis. 2d 620, 796 N.W.2d 741), State v. Dagnall, 2000 WI 82, 236 Wis. 2d 339, 612 N.W.2d 680, and Montejo v. Louisiana, 556 U.S. 778 (2009).
The court of appeals held that Forbush I remains good law: "Montejo overruled Dagnall because Dagnall had relied solely on the Sixth Amendment" (¶ 14). Montejo held that "an accused's representation by counsel at a preliminary court proceeding does not render presumptively invalid any subsequent waiver of the right to counsel at a police-initiated custodial interview" (¶ 6). Moreover, Montejo also held that a valid Miranda waiver can sufficiently waive the Sixth Amendment right to counsel; put differently, no additional warnings or process is required, only the Miranda protections (see ¶ 18).
OWI – Ignition Interlocks
Village of Grafton v. Seatz, 2014 WI App 23 (filed 29 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: The defendant was properly subjected to an ignition-interlock order in a new operating while intoxicated (OWI) case even though his prior OWI conviction was more than 10 years old.
SUMMARY: Wisconsin Statutes section 343.301(1g) requires a court to order an ignition-interlock device if a motorist has improperly refused to take a test for intoxication under Wis. Stat. section 343.305 (the implied-consent law), has an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more at the time of an OWI violation, or commits an OWI violation and has one or more prior OWI convictions as defined by Wis. Stat. section 343.307(1). This case involved the last of these threecircumstances.
The defendant had a prior OWI from Michigan but that conviction was more than 10 years old. Thus the defendant was not considered to have a prior OWI for purposes of enhancing his present OWI to a criminal offense. See Wis. Stat. § 346.65(2)(am)2. Nevertheless, the municipal court in the first instance and the circuit court after a trial de novo both ordered the installation of an ignition-interlock device. The defendant appealed.
In a decision authored by Judge Reilly, the court of appeals affirmed. It concluded that although the defendant's OWI in the present case was considered as a first offense because his prior OWI was more than 10 years old, he nevertheless was subject to an ignition-interlock order in the new case by virtue of the prior OWI.
Said the court, "[t]he ten-year look-back provision in Wis. Stat. § 346.65(2)(am)2. for purposes of determining whether to charge or penalize a repeat OWI offender civilly or criminally is independent of whether a person has one or more prior OWI convictions under Wis. Stat. § 343.307(1) and has no effect on orders for ignition interlock devices under Wis. Stat. § 343.301" (¶ 8).
Real Estate Taxes – Challenge to Assessment
Northbrook Wis. LLC v. City of Niagara, 2014 WI App 22 (filed 14 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: A taxpayer must object to a property tax assessment before the local board of review before filing an excessive-assessment claim; a narrow exception to this general rule did not apply in this case.
SUMMARY: Northbrook Wisconsin LLC appealed an order dismissing its complaint against the city of Niagara for assessing its property too highly. The circuit court concluded dismissal was warranted because Northbrook did not present an objection to the assessment to the city's board of review before filing its excessive-assessment claim, as required by Wis. Stat. section 74.37(4)(a). Northbrook argued it was not required to file an objection before the board of review because the city never provided Northbrook with a notice of assessment pursuant to Wis. Stat. section 70.365. Northbrook also contended that due process precludes dismissal of its claim. In a decision authored by Judge Stark, the court of appeals affirmed.
Wisconsin Statutes section 74.37(4)(a) clearly and unambiguously requires a taxpayer to challenge an assessment at the board of review before filing an excessive-assessment claim, unless the taxing authority failed to give the taxpayer notice of the assessment when notice is required under Wis. Stat. section 70.365 (see ¶¶ 14-15). Section 70.365 requires a notice of assessment to be sent only when a property's assessed value differs from the previous year's assessment. In this case there was no change in the assessment, and thus the city was not required to send Northbrook a notice of assessment (see ¶ 18).
"Because a notice of assessment was not required, the narrow exception to the rule that a taxpayer must challenge an assessment before the Board of Review prior to filing an excessive assessment claim does not apply. Northbrook was therefore required to challenge the 2011 assessment before the Board of Review as a prerequisite to filing its excessive assessment claim. Because Northbrook failed to do so, the circuit court properly granted the City's motion to dismiss" (¶ 19).
The appellate court also rejected the taxpayer's due-process claim. The fundamental requirements of procedural due process are notice and an opportunity to be heard. Because the city failed to send a notice of assessment in 2011, Northbrook argued it did not receive notice of its property's assessed value in time to present an objection to the board of review. Northbrook therefore contended it has been deprived of both notice and an opportunity to be heard.
The court of appeals disagreed. The court said that Northbrook should have known that its 2011 assessment would be unchanged from 2010 because it did not receive a notice of assessment (see ¶ 23). Moreover, if Northbrook were uncertain about the property's assessed value, it should have checked the assessment roll, which must be made available in time for taxpayers to object to the board of review (see ¶ 24).
Real Estate Taxes – Overassessments – Remedy – Expert Witness Fees
3301 Bay Rd. LLC v. Town of Delavan, 2014 WI App 18 (filed 15 Jan. 2014) (ordered published 26 Feb. 2014)
HOLDING: The circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion when fashioning a remedy for overassessment of property taxes, but its decision to cap expert witness fees must be reexamined on remand.
SUMMARY: The town of Delavan overassessed more than 50 lakefront properties at the same time that it underassessed numerous "off-lake" properties in the Assembly Park neighborhood, thereby violating both Wis. Stat. section 70.32 and the constitutional tax-uniformity mandate. The lakefront property owners (the taxpayers) joined together and sued to recover their overpayments and further sought to rectify the uniformity violation by requesting that their properties be assessed at 45 percent below fair market value – the rate of underassessment of the "off-lake" properties.
The circuit court awarded the taxpayers refunds for the Wis. Stat. section 70.32 violation and gave them an additional three percent refund for the uniformity violation. It also capped their expert witness fees at $300 per case, rather than at $300 per plaintiff. The taxpayers appealed. In a decision authored by Judge Reilly, the court of appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part.
The circuit court has discretion to fashion a remedy for excessive assessments and uniformity-clause violations, and the appellate court reviews such decisions for an erroneous exercise of this discretion (see ¶ 6). In this case, the circuit court found that the uniformity-clause violation was caused by the town erroneously assessing parcels in the Assembly Park neighborhood at 45 percent below their fair market values.
The circuit court declined to adopt the taxpayers' proposed remedy of reducing their properties' assessments to 45 percent below their fair market values, noting the "unique" and "unprecedented" circumstances of the case. Instead, the circuit court based the taxpayers' refunds on the amounts they would have paid in property taxes if the Assembly Park properties had been properly assessed.
The circuit court further determined that the taxpayers' requested remedy would result in a "windfall reduction of their taxes way beyond what they suffered in the way of tax burden because of the underassessment in Assembly Park" (¶ 9). The court of appeals concluded that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion "in fashioning a fair remedy for the uniformity violation"(¶ 10).
The taxpayers also argued that the circuit court erred in limiting the total amount they can collect for their expert witnesses to $300 per expert per case rather than allowing them to collect their actual out-of-pocket costs for the expert witnesses up to $300 per plaintiff. Wisconsin Statutes section 814.02(2) provides that statutory "costs may be allowed or not ..., in whole or in part, in the discretion of the court" to any party to a special proceeding. Expert witness fees are itemized as an allowable cost by Wis. Stat. section 814.04(2) to the extent that they do "not exceed[] $300 for each expert who testifies" (see ¶ 12).
The court of appeals held that in this case "the [t]axpayers may collect their expert witness fees in the same manner as they could collect expert witness fees had they filed separate actions, i.e., per property per tax year not to exceed the $300 cap and not to exceed the actual out-of-pocket expenses in the aggregate" (¶ 15). "Our holding also includes the limitation that the award of expert witness fees in this case is within the sound discretion of the circuit court per Wis. Stat. § 814.02(2)" (¶ 16).

Counties brace for flooding from heavy rains
Flash flood warnings were lifted for several Oklahoma counties Tuesday
Flash flood warnings were lifted for several Oklahoma counties Tuesday, including Sequoyah and Le Flore counties.
In some places, however, the damage has already been done.
Several bridges in Le Flore County are impassable.
Heavy rains pelted the area Monday night, with several reports of possible tornadoes.
Emergency management crews said Monday's rain, combined with rain early Tuesday, caused flooding throughout the county.
Tuesday night, crews were keeping an eye on Williams road, expecting it to flood. Poteau River, which crosses right next to Williams Road, is expected to crest by 4 p.m. Wednesday, said the Le Flore County Emergency Management Department.
Meanwhile, crews in the river valley said much of the debris from Monday night's rain has been cleared away.

Abstract and Keywords
Strategic communication is an essential component in the science and practice of recruiting participants to clinical research studies. Unfortunately, many clinical research studies do not consider the role of communication in the recruitment process until efforts to enroll patients in a timely manner have failed. The field of communication is rich with theory and research that can inform the development of an effective recruitment plan from the inception of a clinical research study through informed consent. The recruitment context is distinct from many other health contexts in that there is often not a behavioral response that can be universally promoted to patients. The appropriateness of a clinical research study for an individual is based on a number of medical, psychological, and contextual factors, making it impossible to recommend that everyone who is eligible for a clinical research study enroll. Instead, clinical research study recruitment efforts must utilize strategic communication principles to ensure that messages promote awareness of clinical research, maximize personal relevance, minimize information overload, and facilitate informed choice. This can be accomplished through careful consideration of various aspects of the communication context described in this chapter, including audience segmentation, message content, message channels, and formative, process, and outcome evaluation, as well as the enrollment encounter.
