A federal lawsuit against East Hampton Town alleging discrimination against the clients of a private residential substance abuse treatment facility in Northwest, filed in January after the town reversed its approval of the operation, has been put on hold so that the parties can negotiate an out-of-court settlement.
Safe Harbor Retreat L.L.C., the owner of the Dunes East Hampton, withdrew its complaint late last week after a judge denied a request by both sides to extend a filing deadline. "The parties are going to try to come to an amicable agreement," Brian Sokoloff, the attorney for the town in the matter, said Tuesday.
The lawsuit was withdrawn, however, without prejudice, meaning that if a settlement can't be agreed upon, the matter can again be referred to court.
The Dunes, a high-end, private-pay-only center, has been treating clients with drug and alcohol addictions since 2010. Before it opened its doors, it was endorsed by then Supervisor-Elect Bill Wilkinson, now serving his second term in office, and got a go-ahead from Tom Preiato, the town's acting chief building inspector.
Based on descriptions submitted by Safe Harbor Retreat about how the center would operate, Mr. Preiato determined that the residents would be functioning as a family unit, thus allowing the residential property to be used for the center.
But, the lawsuit against the town alleges, Mr. Preiato reversed his decision after the town received a complaint from George Meredith, the owner of the Seafield Center, another private treatment center, in Westhampton Beach. The reversal requires the Dunes to submit a site plan application and obtain a special permit from the town planning board in order to operate legally on its rented residential property at 26 Bull Run.
The lawsuit claimed that the effect of that decision violates the federal Fair Housing and Americans With Disabilities Acts, as well as the Constitutional due process clause, by threatening to deny housing opportunities to recovering alcoholics and substance abusers in East Hampton, discriminating against them, and causing them distress and setbacks in their efforts at recovery.
Neighbors of the rehab house, meanwhile, have hired an East Hampton attorney, Jeffrey Bragman, to make their case that use of the property by the Dunes should have been subject to planning board review.
Frustrated that the town has not compelled the Dunes to submit a planning board application and has allowed it to continue operating since Mr. Preiato's new ruling last September, Mr. Bragman, on behalf of Anthony Liberatore of 20 Bull Run, sent a letter to town officials last week putting them on notice that "in the absence of appropriate town action to enforce zoning, New York State Town Law . . . authorizes the initiation of taxpayer litigation to do so." Mr. Bragman said this week that the residents could seek an injunction to shut the Dunes down.
According to the lawsuit, Joseph McKinsey, the founder of the Dunes, met with Mr. Wilkinson in December 2009, just before Mr. Wilkinson took office, and the supervisor-elect expressed his support for Mr. McKinsey's plan.
In February 2010, according to the narrative submitted to the court, Mr. McKinsey met with Mr. Preiato to advise him of his plans. In a letter sent to the Building Department later that month, Mr. McKinsey asked that the town make a determination that the center's residents would be considered the "functional equivalent of a family," allowing the facility to operate in a residential zone without first obtaining a planning board permit.
Early in March of that year, Mr. Preiato issued a determination that the plan met the town's zoning code requirements. A 60-day period, during which any challenges to zoning determinations must be made, passed with no challenges submitted.
According to the lawsuit, Safe Harbor Retreat, "as a result of Mr. Preiato's determination," spent approximately $2 million "to establish 26 Bull Run as a residential treatment facility."
In July 2010, a letter signed by Supervisor Wilkinson, John Jilnicki, the town attorney, and East Hampton Town Police Chief Eddie Ecker was submitted to the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services in support of Safe Harbor Retreat's state license application. The license was issued, and the rehab center opened on Nov. 20, 2010.
The lawsuit says that in November 2010 and again the following summer, town officials toured the facility and "continued to show their support."
However, according to the suit, in September of last year, the town's director of public safety, Patrick Gunn, met with Madeline Narvilas, Safe Harbor Retreat's executive director and a former East Hampton Town attorney, and told her that, following an article about the facility in The New York Post, there had been a complaint.
The sole complainant, the lawsuit alleges, was Mr. Benedict, the Seafields owner. Mr. Gunn, the lawsuit says, asked if the Dunes would consider applying for a special permit and site plan approval from the town based on a "change of use."
An attempt to reach Mr. Meredith was referred to Mark Epley, Seafield's executive director, who is also the Southampton Village Mayor. Mr. Epley did not return a call for comment by press time.
Mr. Bragman, who represents 30 neighbors of the Dunes, said Tuesday that he believes the nature of the center was misrepresented to the town at the start. It was portrayed, he said, as more of a "sober house," where a group lives together for mutual support, versus as a residential treatment center that provides counseling and other clinical services.
In letters to Mr. Preiato as well as to the state licensing agency, Mr. McKinsey stated that only "nonclinical" services would be offered at the house, and that residents would go elsewhere for treatment.
The center's Web site indicates otherwise, Mr. Bragman asserted Tuesday. "The neighbors have on occasion heard therapy sessions they've had outdoors," he said. "There's a pretty serious amount of critical care going on there. It's not just a house."
In addition, he said, "there's a lot of coming and going," prompting complaints from nearby residents about traffic and noise. "This thing is impacting a neighborhood; the neighbors have never had a public hearing. "
The initial support of the town board and other officials, Mr. Bragman said, "short-circuited a process that otherwise exists. The critical thing is getting that neutral, predictable working process of planning review."
The Dunes's submission to the court says that in late September of last year, Mr. McKinsey received a letter from Mr. Preiato telling him that upon further review of the operation of the facility, "namely the providing of on-site addiction treatments and services, as well as the transient nature of your clients' varied residencies at the facility, it is now clear that such an operation is not permitted in a residential zone without site plan approval." He said the Dunes could be classified as a "semi-public facility."
A semi-public facility designation does not rule out a location in a residential zone. However, the planning board must approve such a use, and issue a special permit for it, after first considering potential impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.
Mr. Preiato apparently followed up his September letter with another to Mr. McKinsey, in early November, saying that the matter required immediate attention.
A counsel for the Dunes wrote back later that month questioning the basis for Mr. Preiato's conclusion.
The standoff continued, until, the lawsuit says, Mr. Preiato appeared at the center in January and asked to inspect it. Ms. Narvilas, it says, told him that any contact should be through the center's attorneys.
Later that month, after correspondence between the parties, Mr. Jilnicki informed the center's lawyer of his support for Mr. Preiato's position and said that the building inspector would be "proceeding with appropriate efforts to enforce the requirements of the East Hampton Town Code." Safe Harbor Retreat, a k a the Dunes, filed suit in federal court on Jan. 25.
The lawsuit asked the court to keep the town from taking any action that would interfere with the continued use of the house by the Dunes; to declare that the town has "illegally discriminated" against the Dunes "by arbitrarily and capriciously applying its zoning, building, and property maintenance codes" to the site, thus violating the housing and disabilities acts, and Constitution; to issue an order stating that the plaintiffs' use of the house is consistent with town zoning, and to award compensatory damages and costs.
In a statement issued yesterday, Mr. Gunn said "no charges have been filed on this property, however, with the assistance of outside counsel, the town has been engaged in negotiations to resolve the matter through voluntary compliance. It is the town's position that Safe Harbor Retreat, in its current operational form, requires [a] site plan and special permit and [zoning board of appeals] setback relief. Because of potential litigation and the sensitive nature of the negotiations, no further information will be forthcoming, other than that our expectation is for resolution very soon," he said.

A genealogy blog to encourage people with Pakistani ancestry to have fun researching their family trees.
Saturday, October 24, 2009
Which genealogy software should I use?
Until recently I wasn't aware there were computer softwares that were available to family historians. But having looked at various genealogical websites, blogs and forums I realised people were actually using computer software to input their family trees and creating databases to store and organize their information. Well ofcourse, I had to check it out. Someone kindly suggested that I download Personal Ancestral File (PAF) which is a free genealogy software available from FamilySearch.org. I used PAF for a short while and since it was my first time using a genealogy software I had to start my family tree from scratch. Later on I would learn that all genealogical software use a certain type of file called a GEDCOM file.
However, PAF have not introduced any new versions and the software itself does not display a visually pleasing interface. It seems bland and compared with new software that it's in the market seems to lack in features. Therefore I went in search of a new software that would liven things up a bit. Something that would provide a fresh new look to my boring software.
I found .. Legacy 7.0.
I downloaded the standard edition from their website (click on the above link) and set up my family tree by importing my not-so-big GEDCOM file from PAF. This meant that I could just transfer whatever data I had input into PAF to Legacy without any fuss.
These are some of the features I liked:
1) Creating reports for individuals and families
2) Ability to view the ages of your ancestors at various events of their life
3) Marriage lists for couples
4) Ability to create charts from the data
5) Research guidance shows you what to search for and includes a to-do list
6) Ability to add pictures, sounds, videos to individuals in your tree
7) Ability to write notes for individuals in general, or research notes or medical notes
and much much more!
Here's a snapshot of a family sheet of one of my ancestors (first names have been blocked out):
I think I'll stick with this software as it seems to do the job and I'm still working out how it all works since there is so much on offer. However, there are other softwares that are available such as Family Tree Builder and Family Tree Maker. (Funny how they have similar names)
Note: Some of the features can only be accessed by upgrading to Legacy Deluxe Edition.
If you'd like to try out Legacy too, then click here for a beginners video. Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.

A very good review of the Legacy software. I have been using RootsMagic 4 which many people seem to like as well. A good source for reviews of genealogy software is Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings.

Been using Legacy for the last year and a half.. A very good program and the inbuilt map-plotter gives you the ability of designating map-coordinates for the places in your "place"-register. For individuals and their families in your base it means that you get a nice graphical view of their travel-patterns at various times and events in their life. Also like the sourcewriter as it simplifies and standardize how you write the source references for the info you input in the program. The sourcewriter is best for online genealogy resources as the online databases for the churchbooks of for example Norway, Scotland and such... The reports that you get from Legacy's reportcentre is quite nice as well.

Talented teens join Matildas squad
AUSTRALIA'S entire overseas playing contingent, along with a pair of teenagers, have been named in the Matildas squad for this month's Tournament of Nations in the US.
Uncapped teenager Princess Ibini and Rio Olympian and Sydney schoolgirl Ellie Carpenter have made the cut for the four-nation tournament, along with overseas-based guns including Tameka Butt, Emily Gielnik, Caitlin Foord and Katrina Gorry.
Also in the team is Samantha Kerr, who was recently named the NWSL Player of the Week for the second time this season after scoring a hat-trick for her US club Sky Blue FC.
Winger Ibini, 17, is the sister of former Sydney FC speedster Bernie, and has been a past member of the Young Matildas with Carpenter, also 17.
"We've always known she's got a lot of potential but she really stepped up in the games against Canada and America last week, so it's a great sign that she's been able to progress to senior international football," Stajcic said.
Missing from the squad are Michelle Heyman and Kyah Simon who are both rehabilitating from injury.
The touring Matildas team have been tasked with the job of securing a historic win over the US at the event.
Australia has yet to beat the women's football powerhouse in their previous 26 clashes.
Australia will also meet Japan and arch rivals Brazil, the team which knocked them out of the Olympics last year, at the tournament.
Australian-based players will depart for the US on July 21 with the Westfield Matildas' first match against the US in Seattle on July 28.

One man v the system: power industry says sorry
IN THE morning, Bruce Robertson and his family were facing a lawsuit from six state electricity giants. By early afternoon, they were fielding an apology.
Grid Australia, the peak body representing the nation's $10 billion transmission industry, had threatened to sue the cattle farmer for defamation.
As an outspoken critic of the power companies, Robertson had exposed their inflated forecasts for electricity demand, and the ''gold-plating'', or excessive spending, which has been the driving force behind the rise in electricity bills.
After revelations y about the lawsuit in the Fairfax press however, an outcry of public support for the farmer from the mid-north coast of NSW forced an embarrassing back-down.
''I'm still confused. One minute I've got a lawsuit on my hands, the next minute I've got an apology. What's going on?'' said Robertson.
The chairman of Grid Australia, Peter McIntyre, wrote to Robertson to ''sincerely apologise''. The threat of defamation proceedings had been withdrawn, he said, inviting Robertson to meet and discuss the issues.
The defamation threat from law firm Ashurst had lobbed at the Robertson property on November 5, and made a suite of demands including that he pay the costs of the solicitor's letter.
This drastic legal action - which amounted to a cabal of big government and multinational companies suing a citizen for free speech - had been sparked by Robertson's submission to the Senate Inquiry into electricity prices last month. In this, and in the press, he claimed Grid Australia was being dishonest in making out that rising "peak demand" was to blame for rising prices.
Robertson argued that peak demand had been falling for three years and should not be exploited by industry as the culprit for rising prices.
The South Australian transmission group ElectraNet said it was not aware of the legal action, Victoria's SP Ausnet said it had become aware of it on Monday and was ''happy'' an apology had been made. PowerlinkQueensland said little more than it was aware that Grid Australia had ''clarified its position''.
And the NSW Minister for Resources and Energy, Chris Hartcher, had nothing to say at all. A spokeswoman for Mr Hartcher said she ''supported the need for informed public debate on issues of public interest''.
The move by Grid Australia to threaten Mr Robertson was an extremely unusual one legally as governments are not allowed to sue their citizens for defamation, nor are large companies, and Grid Australia is clearly a front for state government transmission companies.
It does not appear either that there was a legal basis for action, even if Grid Australia were deemed to be a small not-for-profit organisation with a right to sue. That's because it doesn't appear to be registered as a legal entity.
Like any "black ops" exercise the facts are taking a while to emerge.

A federal appeals court on Monday declared Temple University's now-abandoned sexual harassment policy unconstitutional – and it did so in a way that legal experts agree could make it much more difficult for colleges and universities to defend nondiscrimination policies that limit the speech of students.
The unanimous decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit came in a 2006 lawsuit brought by a former graduate student in history at Temple University. Christian DeJohn, who was also a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, sued the university, its former president, David Adamany, and two professors, alleging that the sexual harassment policy in place when DeJohn was enrolled from 2002-6 impaired his ability to express his opinions about the role of women in the military.
In January 2007, just before a federal district court began hearing the case, Temple replaced its existing sexual harassment policy with another (still in place) that was narrower in scope. But in March of that year, the lower court issued an injunction against the original Temple policy and ordered the case to trial to decide the merits of the case and any potential damages. Temple appealed that order. (When the case went to trial in April, the lower court judge ruled in DeJohn's favor on his constitutional claims about the sexual harassment policy but awarded him nominal damages of $1. It also threw out his claims that the university had unfairly denied him a master's degree.)
Temple had urged the appeals court to declare the case moot because the contested policy was no longer in place and DeJohn was no longer a student at the university. But the Third Circuit panel's three judges, noting that Temple abandoned its original policy only as the trial approached and "continues to defend" the constitutional of and need for the original policy, said they had been "left with no assurance that Temple will not reimplement its pre-January 15 sexual harassment policy, absent an injunction, after this litigation is complete."
In dissecting the university's original policy, the appeals panel found it to be flawed in numerous ways. The court first zeroed in on the fact that Temple's policy prohibited "expressive, visual or physical conduct of a sexual or gender-motivated nature" that not only has the "effect" but the "purpose" of "unreasonably interfering with an individual's work, educational performance, or status" or "of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment."
Under Supreme Court precedents, the Third Circuit panel argued, potentially harassing speech must be shown to "cause actual, material disruption" before it is prohibited. "Under the language of Temple's policy, a student who sets out to interfere with another student's work, educational performance, or status … would be subject to sanctions regardless of whether these motives and actions had their intended effect." The ruling added: "[T]he Policy punishes not only speech that actually causes disruption, but also speech that merely intends to do so: by its terms, it covers speech 'which has the purpose or effect of' interfering with educational performance or creating a hostile environment. This ignores [a previous decision's] requirement that a school must reasonably believe that speech will cause actual, material disruption before prohibiting it."
More fundamentally, the court found, the language in Temple's discarded policy bars an overly broad range of activities. "[T]he policy's use of 'hostile,' 'offensive,' and 'gender-motivated' is, on its face, sufficiently broad and subjective that they 'could conceivably be applied to cover any speech' of a 'gender-motivated' nature 'the content of which offends someone,' " the judges wrote, borrowing language from a 2001 decision involving a public school system.
"Absent any requirement akin to a showing of severity or pervasiveness – that is, a requirement that the conduct objectively and subjectively creates a hostile environment or substantially interferes with an individual's work – the policy provides no shelter for core protected speech," such as that involving political or religious topics.
Advocates for free speech and higher education legal experts agreed that the Third Circuit's decision in the Temple case was significant – even as their views diverged on the soundness of the court's reasoning.
David Hacker, a lawyer for the Alliance Defense Fund's Center for Academic Center, which represented DeJohn, said the court was right to find that Temple's policy was too broad. "A student would look at this policy and say, 'Whoa, I can't say anything that has the purpose or effect of creating an offensive environment,' and that is really dangerous, and can inhibit an academic discussion," Hacker said. "It allows the university to look at the student's intent, and not just the result" of his or her speech.
Hacker and John K. Wilson, founder of the Institute for College Freedom and of the College Freedom blog, which joined groups like the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and the American Civil Liberties Union in filing a friend of the court brief on DeJohn's behalf, agreed that the court's decision could make many colleges vulnerable to similar challenges, especially in states, like Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, that are part of the Third Circuit. "Suing universities for speech codes becomes a lot easier, because you don't need to have a victimized litigant" – in other words, someone who can prove that he or she was hurt by the policy, said Wilson. "That reality creates for universities an impetus to change their policies before someone tries to sue them."
Robert M. O'Neil, executive director of the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and an expert on higher education law, concurred that the Third Circuit's ruling would probably bring more scrutiny to colleges' policies. But while he described himself as an opponent of speech codes, O'Neil characterized the court's decision as "very ominous" because it so casually cast aside Temple's policy without hardly any consideration of whether DeJohn was hurt by it.
Not only did the court not show that the now-abandoned policy affected DeJohn, O'Neil said, but the panel's ruling did not even note that the Temple policy exposed violators to penalties. "There is no proof that this plaintiff was in any way put at risk or threatened or even reasonably felt threatened by the existence of the policy," O'Neil said, adding that a finding of such a threat is a "standard prerequisite in First Amendment litigation, including those cases that have invalidated genuinely coercive speech codes."
"I'm baffled that the court made no reference either to what consequences he might have faced or to any attempt to demonstrate that this particular plaintiff had said or was likely to say things that might bring the sexual harassment policy down on his head," O'Neil added.
He said he was concerned that the Third Circuit's casual dispatching of the Temple policy could "prevent public institutions from adopting and articulating standards and expectations of civility and collegiality if they contain any language that a court might construe to be restrictive with respect to expression."
A Temple spokesman, Ray Betzner, said the university was "disappointed" that its policy had been declared unconstitutional, since it "tracked the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's definition of sexual harassment." Betzner noted that the ruling "does not disturb the district court's prior rulings in Temple's favor on the plaintiff's discrimination and retaliation claims," nor the lower court's finding that "Temple appropriately exercised its academic freedom when its professors determined that Mr. DeJohn's thesis did not meet the requirements for a master's degree."Download file "Court strikes down "

SOUTH PORTLAND — A house on Park Street was heavily damaged by fire on Wednesday evening.
The call came in just before 8 p.m., according to South Portland Fire Chief Kevin Guimond, who was a half-mile from the scene when crews were dispatched.
"There was heavy fire on the front of the building," Guimond said Thursday morning.
Crews arrived within three minutes of being sent to the scene, according to Guimond. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the first floor and attic of the two-story house at 35 Park St.
The fire was out within a half an hour, Guimond said, and a discarded cigarette ignited the blaze. The house's renters weren't home at the time, but crews were able to rescue two cats and a bird.
The house's owner does have insurance, Guimond said, and the tenants are staying with friends and relatives in the area.

Ubisoft boss "can't say he's happy" with Wii U launch price
Yves Guillemot has admitted that he would have preferred Nintendo to launch with a lower price for the Wii U.
The console arrives in North America this weekend and then in the UK on November 30th. Typical prices as of right now start at around 250 for the (hard to find) Basic Pack and come in at between 300-400 for the assortment of Premium SKUs currently available.
"I always prefer lower pricing, so I can't say I'm happy," Ubisoft's CEO told Games Industry.
"I'm never happy when the machines are expensive. What we have to do there is remember that compared to an iPad, it's cheap. With what it brings [to the gaming table] it's cheap. But I hope they'll be able to drop their price in time."
Nintendo infamously cut the price of the 3DS just five months after it was launched, though this was more notable for being overtly atypical of Nintendo. Wii, for instance, held its launch RRP for five years before Nintendo saw fit to drop it.
The machine's Q4 sales will undoubtedly be the determining factor.

Anthony Weiner's Wife Pregnant with First Child
Anthony Weiner's wife Huma Abedin is pregnant with the couple's first child, according to the New York Times.
Earlier this week, the 46-year-old New York State Representative admitted to being involved in online conversations with at least six women over the last few years after he lied about accidentally tweeting a picture of himself in underwear.
Representative Weiner and his wife Huma, 35, currently do not intend on splitting up.
"We will weather this," he said during a news conference on Monday. "I love her very much, and she loves me."
WHAT DO YOU THINK about the Weinergate scandal?

I am very imprEssed with your plans for a great class. The pirate theme is cool too. Do you think a real pirate would fit in well with your class? Why?
We have a cowboy theme at the beginning of the year and my kids are dudes and dudettes. I might try pirates next year for something new.

We are looking forward to talking to you soon, and commenting on some more posts.
Did you know there is even an international talk like a pirate day?! Funny!

Hi! Kids with a View,
I really love your class treaty. It is a great way to come to an agreement about how you want your classroom to be.
I thought your pirate handprints were fantastic. What a good idea to do another blog post about them so we could work out how you did it.
With your Pirate Treaty I am sure you will have a fantastic year together.

There is so much to love about your classroom blog! I thought the Pirate Treaty, to begin the year off right, was an awesome way to begin! Very creative. I also particularly loved your hand print pirates! This classroom is FULL of upstanding pirates ... I know a few who could stand to learn a lesson, or two, from you!!! Way to go, class!

President Obama is answering questions on Twitter. This is what it looks like. Here are his hands—on a keyboard.
It's a MacBook Pro, of course, because he's the President and he gets whatever he wants. He's also using the Twitter web client—no TweetDeck. Nothing fancy. A populist. The web client is the client of the people. Mandate. He also has kind of dainty hands? I bet he's a good typist. Also, someone needs to plug in that charger for him, it's precariously disconnected. I wonder what that
USB DisplayPort/Lightning dongle is for? Those hands. [Pete Souza]

P1 Humor Corner: Santa is a cop
Enjoy a laugh in a secure, safe place, and then get yourself right back into condition yellow when you're back out on patrol
Editor's Note: In this month's installment of the PoliceOne Humor Corner, I poke some fun at the absolute truth that when it comes to religion I'm pretty much a [bleeping] moron. I hope the funny factor is appreciated, and at the same time want to express my respect for every American cop whose religious beliefs are different from those on which I was raised. Please know this: I'm wishing health and happiness to all my brothers and sisters in American law enforcement, always.
— PoliceOne Senior Editor Doug Wyllie
Merry Christmas to all! For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, or something else... I send you my best wishes, but having been raised Roman Catholic — I was an altar boy in grade school, an usher in middle school, and then somehow I "conveniently forgot" several of the important Commandments throughout high school and college — I simply don't know the appropriate seasonal salutation for you.
Since I'm of the opinion that the phrases "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Holidays" have about as much heartfelt feeling as "Hey, nice shoes," I am relegated to saying... ah... um... Have a nice day? May the force be with you? Your table is ready?
Santa is a Cop
Anyway, in the little village I called home for my first 18 years, Santa arrived annually atop one of the shiny red trucks of the volunteer fire service down the street from my house. I'm pretty sure — now that I'm an adult person — that our "Santa" was really the guy who practically lived at firehouse but never went to any fires. He weighed about 350 pounds, and was always sitting on the front bumper of the big ladder truck, eating something greasy, and watching passersby on the sidewalk.
Yeah. Creepy.
But even back then, I thought Santa was a cop. Why? Well, for starters, Santa always knows who's naughty and who's nice, right?
Santa can look at any house or building and without even thinking, identify the least-secure and/or most-expedient entry point.
Santa always was (and remains) the unseen authority figure who kept (keeps) unruly kids in line, despite their devious desires.
Me: "I want to stay up and watch Johnny Carson!"
My Mom: "You're too young for Johnny Carson, and besides, Santa won't bring you presents if you disobey your mother."
So... I went to bed. Ergo, clearly, Santa is a cop.
But, which cop is actually Santa? You decide! We asked you on the PoliceOne Facebook page to share with us your pictures of the most likely suspects. Send us an email identifying the person in this six-pack we need to call for further questioning. Or, if none of these pictures rings (or jingles) a bell, send in your own photos!
The Groaners
Okay, here area a couple one-liners I've been holding (hoarding?) for the past few weeks. Don't blame me: I heard these from someone I consider a friend (not a funny friend, but a friend nonetheless!). BTW, thanks Chief!
What's the difference between a bagpipe and an onion?
No one cries when you put a knife into a bagpipe.
What happened to the two peanuts walking down the street?
One was assaulted.
I know... double gads.
Officer Murphy Returns
Finally, as we all know, anything that can go wrong, typically will, and usually at the worst possible moment. It was one year ago this week that I posted our first iteration of Murphy's Law's for Police Officers. We got some pretty hilarious additions to that list.
For example...
1.) It will be a peaceful shift until the exact moment the pizza arrives.
2.) If your shoes are perfectly shined at the beginning of your shift, there will be a manhunt in a muddy wooded area within five minutes of starting.
3.) If rescue requests assistance with a lift the 'rule' applies. The heavier the victim the higher in the building they will be.
4.) If you go 10-8 15 minutes before your shift starts your 8 hour shift will last 14 hours. If you go available 15 minutes late the shift will be gone before you know it. But the chief still wants you in early.
5.) The secretary you chewed out for interfering with police business is sleeping with the boss. Meanwhile, the boss you complained to about the secretary causing problems is sleeping with the secretary.
6.) You can drop a $100 bill in the station, and it will stay put for a month, but if you leave unmarked cuffs or a flashlight lying around, it will be gone in five minutes.
7.) The nurse you ticket for 85 in a 50 zone will be the ER nurse on duty when you need treatment.
8.) If you wash your squad car, it will snow. If you're in the desert, it'll be a dust storm.
9.) Your time off requests will always be denied when you have something extremely important to do... like get married!
10.) The training course you always wanted to attend will come open during the time you scheduled your honeymoon.
11.) If you need to euthanize a deer, six officers from other departments and your own will arrive in time to see you miss... twice!
12.) The snowstorm will hit the day before the appointment to put on your snow tires.
13.) The animal control officer is always available until you're on a vicious dog call.
14.) When you are discussing the worst qualities of the chief in your squad car, the mic will be stuck open.
15.) After you have run code 3 for 10 miles in one direction to back someone up, you will be called off and sent code 3 back to within a block of where you were. The victims will want to know what took you so long.
16.) Your video equipment will malfunction if the bad guy spits on you, but it will work perfectly if you cuss him.
17.) If you volunteer to work a colleague's shift next week on your day off, there will be an ice storm and everyone will try to drive. If you refused to work that shift, you will be one of the guys in the ditch.
18.) Belt keepers are used to prevent the bad guy from ripping off your gun belt, but in a bathroom emergency you can't seem to get them off fast enough!
19.) You will ALWAYS get a radio call as soon as you take your gunbelt off for a sitdown.
20.) Who knew the chief's wife kept her maiden name?
And my personal favorite... O'Brien's Law: Murphy was an OPTIMIST!
Happy New Year!
Okay gang, that's it for this month, and for 2011. I'll continue to periodically post new humor content in the secure, LEOs-only section of the website. These humor pieces are scheduled to appear on the first Wednesday of every month in 2012, so check back for new stuff. Meanwhile, if you hear a good one or have a funny story to share from your shift, send me an email — we're all perfectly willing to have a belly laugh at your expense!

University of North Carolina System: Law Guaranteeing Right to Counsel

2013 in Review: Threats from Washington, Victories in the States
NC law levels playing field for accused college students
September 10, 2013
Robert Shibley, executive vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), says few people realize that college students facing serious, nonacademic disciplinary charges don't have the right to be represented at the hearings by an attorney."Universities have been free, of course, to be represented by attorneys in those same courts, so this new law in North Carolina – the Students & Administration Equality Act – gives students the ability to actually have some equality in those hearings," explains Shibley.FIRE says college students across the U.S. regularly face "life-altering consequences" for serious offenses such as rape, theft, and harassment; and […]» Read More

September 9, 2013
North Carolina college students no longer have to worry about facing non-academic disciplinary charges from their universities without legal counsel.On Aug. 23, Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, signed a statewide bill that granted students in the state the right to an attorney in campus courts. Under the Students & Administration Act, students who attend North Carolina's public universities have the right to be represented by a licensed attorney or non-attorney advocate.The law is the first of its kind in the USA.Though the new rules cover students and student organizations facing disciplinary charges for violating the university's code of conduct, they do not […]» Read More
CJ Editorial: UNC Students (and Due Process) Prevail
September 5, 2013
If your child is a K-12 student in a North Carolina public school and faces an offense that could lead to suspension or expulsion, she has a legal right to seek the help of a lawyer. If she's enrolled at one of the UNC system campuses, however, and is charged with theft or sexual harassment, until recently she had to represent herself before a tribunal of administrators and had to face her accusers with no legal help.The General Assembly and Gov. Pat McCrory leveled the scales a bit for students attending the UNC system who are accused of crimes or […]» Read More
Balancing the scales for students
August 30, 2013
Students in our state's university system returning to class this fall will be afforded a valuable new right previously denied to them: access to an attorney when accused of campus crimes. That's because last week, Gov. Pat McCrory signed into law provisions guaranteeing college students this right – a right all of us off campus take for granted.North Carolina parents should know that colleges these days operate what amounts to their own parallel justice system. N.C. State, for instance, holds hearings for offenses including theft, harassment, assault, drug and weapons possession, stalking and rape. And until last week, 18- and […]» Read More
Law gives students right to attorney

Students will no longer have to stand alone in campus courts.Under a new law, intended to level the playing field for students on trial in UNC-system campus courts, students are guaranteed the right to a representative in non-academic trials.North Carolina is the first state to guarantee students' right to an attorney in campus courts. The Students and Administration Equality Act, which Gov. Pat McCrory signed into law Aug. 23, does not apply to trials run by an entirely student staff.Under the law, students facing most non-criminal charges — such as academic dishonesty — are not entitled to a representative.

RALEIGH — Students once asked to represent themselves in front of faculty and peers during school disciplinary hearings, now have the chance for their attorneys to stand by their side."We wouldn't consider a courtroom outside of a school environment to be just if the accused wasn't allowed to have an attorney. But that's been the rule in college tribunals," said Robert Shibley, senior vice president for the Foundation for Individual Rights & Education.Shibley's foundation advocated for the legislation."These are serious occasions for students who are accused of things.

EDITORIAL: Constitution-free campuses
August 27, 2013
Millions of young Americans are welcoming their first taste of freedom away from home as college classes begin around the country. The experience is soured on a growing number of campuses where administrators have set up a Constitution-free zone that denies basic freedoms. At Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach, S.C., freedom of the press took a hit last week. Distribution of a local alternative newspaper was prohibited on campus because the paper carried too many alcohol-related articles and advertisements. An Oakland University student was officially declared "persona non grata" and kicked off campus for writing an entry entitled "Hot for teacher" as part […]» Read More
New law gives North Carolina public college students the right to a lawyer in campus courts
August 27, 2013
Students at public colleges in North Carolina generally have the right to a lawyer in campus disciplinary proceedings under a new law signed by the governor on Friday.The law (PDF) says students in disciplinary hearings have the right to representation, by lawyers hired at the students' expense or by nonlawyer advocates, report Inside Higher Ed and the Washington Free Beacon. There are two exceptions where there is no right to a lawyer—when the campus court is a student honor court fully staffed by students, or when the allegation concerns academic dishonesty.The law is believed to be the first of its kind, Inside Higher Ed reports.

NC law allows university students facing discipline to hire an attorney
August 26, 2013
Public university students facing disciplinary charges may now hire an attorney to help them throughout the process, according to a new state law.The legislation, signed into law last week by Gov. Pat McCrory, could change the tenor of student conduct hearings at UNC system campuses across North Carolina. In the past, students could have an attorney advise them informally, but for the most part lawyers were barred from presenting evidence, cross examining witnesses or other direct representation during campus proceedings.The new law would apply in student conduct matters, but not in cases of academic misconduct. It would allow students to […]» Read More
Students Lawyer Up
August 26, 2013
Campus officials like to say that student disciplinary hearings are not court proceedings. There is no such thing as a finding of guilt — only "responsibility" — and even in the most serious cases where students are suspended or expelled, they say, the purpose is more to teach good citizenship than it is to punish wrong behavior.Which is why a new law in North Carolina, the first of its kind, has them worried. The legislation, signed into law on Friday, guarantees any student at a public institution in the state the right to legal representation, at the student's expense, during campus judiciary […]» Read More

'The Washington Times' Rings in the Academic Year with a Warning

In an editorial welcoming the start of the academic year, The Washington Times issues a warning to students returning to campus this fall. Citing FIRE's annual speech code report and troubling developments such as the federal "blueprint" for sexual harassment policies, the editorial laments the lack of freedom on today's campuses and that far too many students are "forced to hand over their constitutional liberties as a condition for receiving their diploma."

KC Johnson on the Flawed Assumptions Made by Critics of NC Representation Law
August 27, 2013
Writing for Minding the Campus today, Brooklyn College professor KC Johnson questions critics of the new North Carolina law that allows the state's public university students to be represented by an attorney for non-academic campus disciplinary hearings. Perhaps most troubling is the ever-persistent presumption of guilt among some administrators. Johnson writes: UNC-Asheville's vice chancellor for student affairs expressed skepticism about the law, commenting that the college disciplinary process differs from the lhegal process, since "a key component of the developmental process of responding to student misconduct is for the student to take responsibility for their own behavior and to learn […]» Read More

Life insurers entitled to DNA results
Australians sending their DNA to be analysed cheaply overseas are obliged to share the results with life insurers and risk losing control of their most sensitive information.
Dr Gillian Mitchell, head of the Familial Cancer Centre at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, said one risk of recreational genetics was offering up the ''mine of information'' contained in our DNA to companies identified only online.
Fairfax Media reported on Monday that 180,000 people had sent their blood or saliva to be analysed by 23andMe, a company that assesses health risks and genealogy. The service now costs $99, and similar kits from other companies are offered online in Australia from $300.
Dr Mitchell contrasted this service with more definitive tests available for breast cancer, for instance, where ''you take the DNA and look at every single bit of that gene to see whether it is normal or abnormal''.
In the tests offered online she said ''you are looking broadly across the genetic make-up trying to see subtle areas of difference and then making some predictions based on those''.
''Some of these companies can give different answers,'' Dr Mitchell said. ''It is not to say one is definitely right and one is definitely wrong; it is just the limits of our understanding.''
The genetic test results are also of interest to life insurers setting premiums, and must be disclosed as part of customer's reporting obligations under Australian law. Health insurance is not affected as companies cannot discriminate based on an individual's risk factors.
The Financial Services Council - whose 24 members account for more than 99 per cent of life insurance premiums - has issued binding guidelines on genetic testing.
Members ''will not require applicants to undergo a genetic test when they apply for insurance'', but ''will require applicants to make available the results of any previously undertaken genetics tests on request''.
Mark Fitzgibbon, managing director of NIB - a health fund with more than 880,000 customers - disagreed with those who worried about insurers misusing genetic information. ''If you take that argument to its logical extension we should never have any blood tests,'' he said.
''If the future means that genetic testing does raise the bar so to speak in terms of life insurance . . . that is an issue we have to deal with as a society and manage. But it can't be a reason not to garner better information about our genomes and therefore interventions which may improve our lives.''
Professor Graeme Suthers, a genetic pathologist and spokesman for the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia, said people should be active in their own treatment, but that online genetic testing lacked the ''chain of accountability'' of conventional pathology. '' He said he wouldn't trust online test results.

In A Strange Turn Of Affairs, EA Decides to Recognize Reality Of Game Pricing
from the not-what-you-said-before dept
In a recent interview with the folks at MCV, another EA exec, Nick Earl, stated that people are making the switch to free games and there is no stopping it.
The future is not about one-time payments, the future is about freemium. A decent number of people convert to paying and they may not pay a lot but most of them actually pay more than you'd think.It is actually quite refreshing to see someone in a large game studio willing to accept this fact, something that his counter parts in publishing are incapable of doing. But this is the reality. We have seen it happen in rapid fashion, particularly in the mobile space. Because of the nature of the market, game prices quickly dropped to $1 and then to freemium or free to play. These options allow for potential customers to limit the risk of acquiring a new game. This is also forcing the games industry as a whole to reconsider how it prices its software, which some still seem unwilling to do.
I don't know if freemium gets to console but I do know that humans like free stuff. I also know humans who will pay for something if they've tried it out and they like it.
I've wondered if freemium expands beyond the tablet, Facebook and smartphones, and out into consoles? I don't think it's impossible for that to happen.
Another interesting thing about this comment is that Nick realizes that it is only a matter of time before free games come to consoles. This is something else we have observed with the recent announcement of the Ouya console. One of the Ouya's biggest selling points is that all games available for it must offer some form of free option, something not currently available on any current console. This idea and the low cost of the console itself led to a huge positive reaction from the gaming community, shooting the Ouya into record breaking pledges on the first day. So yes, people are shifting to free games.
As the market for games shift toward cheap and free options, it will be interesting to see what the current console leaders do in response. Will they all follow Nintendo's lead and continue on the course of "premium" prices for console games, or will they recognize that there are more ways to make money from gaming than retail sales? If they do continue down the premium path, they are quite liable to be left far behind when the market shifts. Something that EA seems to be preparing itself for.

Coaches vs. Cancer® Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend, a collaborative initiative of the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), is slated for the weekend of Jan. 29-31, 2010. Participating NABC member coaches will wear sneakers instead of dress shoes with their suits during weekend games to demonstrate their support for the American Cancer Society and its vision of a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Basketball fans are also encouraged to wear sneakers to games that weekend to show their support.
The Lipscomb basketball coaches will don sneakers Saturday when the Bisons face off against ETSU.
This year will mark the inaugural Suits and Sneakers Challenge and Wear Your Sneakers to Work Day as employees of local companies are encouraged to give a $5 or more donation in order to wear their sneakers to work. This effort will raise funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Companies may also choose to match their employees' donations to double their impact of raising funds. Visit coachesvscancer.org to learn more.
By lacing up sneakers with their suits, college and high school basketball coaches nationwide will spotlight the fact that while cancer remains a major health concern, everyone can take daily steps to reduce their risk of the disease. For those who do not smoke, weight control, exercise and a healthy diet are the best ways to improve health and reduce cancer risk. Obesity has been shown to increase the risk for many forms of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colon cancers and may account for 20 percent of cancer deaths in women and 14 percent in men.
However, according to a 2006 survey, only eight percent of people understand that excess weight is so strongly linked to cancer risk, while more than 80 percent know of the link between overweight and heart disease. Overweight and obesity are of particular concern in minority populations, with higher rates of both reported for Hispanic men and women and for African American women, than for non-Hispanic white adults.
"The personal involvement of these coaches in the Coaches vs. Cancer program creates an invaluable opportunity to reach so many people about how to reduce their risk of cancer, and, particularly, about the important roles that regular exercise and a healthy diet play," said George W.P. Atkins, 2009-10 national volunteer chair, American Cancer Society Board of Directors. "Coaches vs. Cancer continues to be an integral part of the Society's commitment to save lives by helping people stay well, by helping them get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease."
"I am honored to again serve as chair of the Coaches vs. Cancer Coaches Council and to stand alongside my fellow coaches across the country in doing all we can to help the American Cancer Society fight for every birthday threatened by this disease," said Gary Williams, University of Maryland head coach. "Suits and Sneakers awareness weekend is a great way to remind basketball coaches and fans alike about taking an active role in reducing our own risk of cancer and in fighting back on behalf of those who face a cancer diagnosis."
In addition to Williams, other active Coaches vs. Cancer Coaches Council members are: Jim Boeheim (Syracuse); Mike Brey (Notre Dame); Jim Calhoun (Connecticut); Bobby Cremins (College of Charleston); Ed DeChellis (Penn State); Fran Dunphy (Temple); Mark Few (Gonzaga); Jeff Gamber (York College); Lon Kruger (UNLV); Mike Krzyzewski (Duke); Phil Martelli (Saint Joseph's); Oliver Purnell (Clemson); Orlando "Tubby" Smith (Minnesota); Bruce Weber (Illinois); and Roy Williams (North Carolina).
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of college and high school coaches and fans across the country, Coaches vs. Cancer participants have raised more than $55 million since 1993 to help the Society fund groundbreaking cancer research, provide up-to-date cancer information and education, advocate for public health policies that benefit communities, and deliver services that improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Additional information is available at coachesvscancer.org
Several events throughout 2010 will continue to highlight the productive work of Coaches vs. Cancer, including Fight Cancer In Style – an event for coaches' wives during NCAA Final Four weekend, April 3-5 in Indianapolis; the annual Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Invitational, June 13-14 at the Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.; and the annual 2K Sports Classic benefitting Coaches vs. Cancer (12-team nationwide basketball tournament) in November.
The American Cancer Society combines an unyielding passion with nearly a century of experience to save lives and end suffering from cancer. As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; by helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation's largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.4 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year. To learn more about us or to get help, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Excuse number 1: On January 19 I spoke to our local genealogy group about getting ready for the 1940 census and needed time to prepare my slide presentation and handout. I recommend the following websites for information:
Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter has had lots of information as I am certain Thomas MacEntee's webinar on March 7 will. I certainly plan to watch it.
Excuse number 2: On Thursday, January 27 my husband asked if I still wanted to go back to Natchez, MS. The answer was an enthusiastic "YES!" He then asked if I wanted to go on Sunday. Was I going to say no because I had other things to do? Ha! He told me this trip was for me, so plan where I wanted to go and we would do it. I took care of things like laundry and packing and we headed to Shreveport on Sunday for a "free" night's stay at the El Dorado where I enjoyed free reflexology foot massage at La Spa.
Monday we went through Jonesboro, Louisiana and stopped at the cemetery to locate his paternal grandparents' graves. We took pictures of their grave markers and found one for his grandmother's brother as well. (I really like findagrave.com so I took several more pictures I've since added to that site.)
From there we went to Vidalia, Louisiana and stayed at the Comfort Suites on the banks of the Mississippi River. We had a large window in the room with an awesome view of the River, bridge, and Natchez. We took photos at Greenlawn Memorial Park of the markers for Virginia Hunter Andrews Fisher, her first husband, Wilson, and her mother, Myrtis Calcote Hunter, and fulfilled a few photo requests for others.
We took photos of family graves at the Natchez City Cemetery we couldn't locate on our last visit and filled some photo requests with the help of Danny Brown, the Cemetery Director. Our visit there was so enjoyable. I wish we lived closer so I could spend more time there. It's a 100 acre cemetery with some amazing monuments and stories. We took many photos in the Fields section and some in the Hospital section that I still need to finish uploading to Find A Grave.
On our way back to Shreveport, we detoured to find the Buckner Cemetery where I had hoped to find the grave of some of the Strother and Farley names I've been researching. Unfortunatley the Strother grave was unmarked, but I took photos of all the markers in the cemetery that I added to Find a Grave along with the coordinates for a map of the cemetery to be displayed. We spent another night at the El Dorado where I had an awesome free facial by Jennifer at La Spa the next morning before heading home. I won't assign excuse numbers to things like doing laundry, getting groceries, watching the Super Bowl, and having our new microwave and oven delivered and installed (that's a long story) after we returned. Did I mention one of the book clubs I'm in met at my house in February?
Excuse number 3 is working on proofs through my Taylor family line to become a member of DAR. I'm so excited! I'll be blogging about this on my other genealogy blog, A Nested Family of Robbins.
Excuse number 4: This is not genealogy related, but I just had to add it. On January 10 we headed to Oklahoma to the Winstar Casino for a 3-day weekend. The trip was to see Alabama perform. In spite of Randy having problems with his throat, he sounded great to us. "Play me some mountain music, like grandma and grandpa used to play..."
Excuse number 5: I'll only use one excuse to describe going to a genealogy meeting, assisting with a DRT workshop helping people with genealogy, getting to see my great niece, the Marine, who stopped in Texas while on her way to California, helping a neighbor learn how to burn CDs, helping a friend get her pictures to show up in Legacy and figuring out her problems with backups and her Find A Grave account, attending a local meeting about DNA for genealogy, and learning about Google Earth for Genealogy by watching a DVD by Lise Louise Cooke with a friend.
Enough with the excuses, but you now know I've been spending a lot of time on genealogy related activities - just not my two genealogy blogs and I have really missed that.

Why participate? The SNAP Challenge gives participants a view of the struggle to obtain adequate food that is faced by millions of low-income Americans. By living on the average food stamp benefit, Challenge participants find themselves forced to make food shopping choices on a limited budget, and learn how difficult it is to avoid hunger, afford nutritious foods, and stay healthy without adequate resources. While living on a food stamp budget for just a week cannot come close to the struggles encountered by low income families week after week and month after month, it does provide those who take the Challenge with a new perspective and greater understanding of what it is like to live on a limited budget. It is a rare opportunity to walk in someone else's shoes.
To date, hundreds of people have accepted the challenge and educated themselves and their communities about the SNAP program. They have bolstered the public's understanding of the program and helped create new anti-hunger advocates. As a food blogger, my intent is to develop nutritious menus and recipes within the allotted budget and to share the results of the process with you. Come the 1st of January I'll be posting about the process every day. If you'd like to join in, I can set up some type of link process so my readers can also see what you are doing. There are some guidelines and I'm posting them tonight because they will require a bit foresight and advance planning.
Challenge Guidelines
1) Each person should spend a set amount for food and beverages during the Challenge week based on Federal guidelines.
2) All food purchased and eaten during the Challenge week, including fast food and dining out, must be included in the total spending.
3) During the Challenge, only eat food that you purchase for the project. Do not eat food that you already own (this does not include spices and condiments).
4) Avoid accepting free food from friends, family, or at work, including at receptions, briefings, or other events where food is served.
5) Keep track of receipts on food spending and take note of your experiences throughout the week.
6) Invite others to join you, including co-workers, reporters, chefs, or other elected officials.

More interesting to me is if the Pels were willing to do this trade then we can assume a few things. Asik probably isn't going to medically retire, otherwise we wouldn't spend a pick to dump him. We must also feel comfortable about being able to bring in a backup center if we were willing to not only dump Asik but also Ajinca. This move would give us 1 more roster spot which would have to be used on a center.
However, the bigger issue might be this deal puts us basically ontop of the luxury tax. We'd be taking money back and we already were less than 1m from the tax. We'd almost have to make an additional move to clear some more money. I'm assuming that'd be moving one of our guards.
I'm actually not sure who would have backed out of the deal. I'm assuming Phoenix is trying to drum up some last minute interest by leaking the trade, but with us so close to the cap maybe we wanted to toss 1 more player in and they wouldn't budge.
I would be ecstatic with this trade and hope it gets done in some way. This team needs a reliable, confident third option scorer on the team who can create off the dribble. We've seen Jrue ain't that, Reggie J is that kind of player. Go watch some of his highlights from this season. This can relieve some pressure off Jrue and he can thrive in a defensive anchor/ fourth scoring option role.
They can then trade Moore for a wing or back-up big man.
Sure, Rondo should be starting if healthy, but he's had two injuries just in the past few months and is on the wrong side of 30. Can even start him and play Jrue at SF with his ability to guard bigger players.
Get it done, Demps!!
Also, if you can explain to me Dell Demps "plan" in a logical sense I think the whole message board here and tigerdroppings will give you a Jrue Holiday money lol. Because originally Demps wanted Dwight Howard to pair with AD instead of Boogie. Also, he came into the offseason saying we are going to sign shooters but all we did was overpay Holiday, sign Rondo, Miller (a D-league caliber player) and Clark (who was really an afterthought with got at a vet min), and draft Frank Jackson (another combo guard that's a good not great shooter). He really doesn't have a plan outside of fulling a roster full of 6'3 guards to pair with AD and Boogie.
frank jackson shot 39.5% from three in college. dude is a great shooter
DC is not going to resign based on anything but WINS.
This team is on the wrong side on the Win Loss column. Making this trade won't change anything.
Rondo isn't going to fix this offense. Until they realize how to win adding players with this Head Coach is not the answer.
Asik the Turkish Hammer is working out they are planning for his return soon.
PHX canoodles two teams into offering a 1st then backs out. Okay, PHX we get it. You want a bidding war.
If New Orleans can throw in 3 mil cash to cover the guaranteed portion of Asiks final year, no one is beating that deal.

But this team was on the brink of a chasm so dark that it made Fischer and MM seem kind of realistic instead of the deep emo whiners we now know them to be....yet....here we are. You're frustrated. But you're frustrated because we have a losing record and we all know this can be great. So. From deep depressive chasm as dark as MM's soul to hopeful. That's actually a pretty good track record. Teams can't be overhauled in one off-season. As you said, Dell wanted to go a traditional route and pair AD with a banger at C. We got Boogie which is awesome but demands a completely different roster than the AD/Howard pairing.
We can all sit here and say "Cousins will in resign if blah blah blah" but that's just ignorance. You don't know Boogie. You don't know what is motivating him or where is head is. Yet, we're now spouting off this ignorance like it is some scientifically proven fact? Crazy talk. Please take that back to tigerdroppings. Keep it there.
And you sure throw the low IQ tag around. Pure ignorance.
Something else I just thought of, if this trade went through or some version of it we would only have 3 injured players on the roster (Rondo, Jackson, Hill) this would mean we would no longer qualify for the hardship exception and Smith would have to either be signed or let go. If we kept him we would effectively have 5 bigs on the team but only 2 that could play center and 1 of those would be your starting PF.
I'd have to imagine we let him go to sign a center.
Stop trading for veterans that can't outplay their contract. Jesus Christ. Same issues, different day. Here's why we suck: we have zero young, inexpensive basketball players who are well-rounded basketball players. Just do your work and draft intelligently. Build. Slowly. I don't care if Boogie re-signs or doesn't re-sign. He's not the issue. The inability to find inexpensive, quality wings and guards is the issue. The front office should be allowed to make zero decisions right now. Zero.
Had we made zero trades, we'd have AD and 5 1st rounders right now + money not sunk into these dumbass players. Instead, lets trade another 1st for another dumbass player.
i hope we can get this deal back on the table....next give up a 2nd for okafor......next month try and trade moore and diallo for a wing.....we would have outside or just more scoring with jackson and 3 bigs that can score inside no matter which one is on the court.....hopefully defense and scoring from the new wing player......team set and lets go...
I'm not entirely frustrated because we are losing. I'm frustrated management keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over. We have the best two bigs in the game but Dell keeps setting this franchise back with these deals. Trading away our first round pick for another combo guard that doesn't cure our weakness is not a good move.
If this is true, Dell was about to stick the final dagger in this organisation
Jackson today 3/11 with 1/4 threes. He is Jrue incarnate

I've been making pictures of one sort or another for 35+ years. Most of that time has been spent making television and video programming for a living. Other time is spent in the pursuit of art. And since I can't paint I use a camera and the digital darkroom. I caught the photo bug while working for a chain of Northern California camera stores in the late 1970's. Some years later I got involved with video production and started a production company with two partners. Some more years later we sold the company and I went on to work at local production studios as a producer and production manager. I also freelance as a writer, director, producer and editor. Today, I am mostly retired from TV production and can spend more time trying...

Hey Eddie. What are you wearing for Halloween? If I would make a suggestion, then I'd have to say copying Fabio's costume.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: Governors Awards 2013 with Maddox!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hit the red carpet at the 2013 Governors Awards presented by the AMPAS at the Ray Dolby Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center on Saturday (November 16) in Hollywood.
The 38-year-old actress is receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, which is given as an Oscar statuette, for her work as the co-founder of the Prevent Sexual Violence Initiative and for serving as a special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The couple was joined on the red carpet that evening by their son Maddox!
"Receiving the Hersholt award makes me feel like I am on the right path but also reminds me I have more to do," Angie told The Associated Press about getting the award.
FYI: Angelina is wearing an Atelier Versace dress. Brad is wearing Saint Laurent.

May 18
In only its third year in existence, the Mt. Hood cycling Classic, scheduled for June 2-5, has been boosted onto the prestigious National Racing Calendar (NRC).
The event is one of only 15 NRC stage races in the U.S. and is expected to bring in over 400 road bicycling racers from across the country and beyond to the Hood River Valley.
Hood River is by far the smallest city to host a race of such caliber this year. Event organizer Chad Sperry commented on Hood River's unique status for the NRC:
"We are the smallest host city on the NRC by a long ways but the residents and business people of Hood River have been incredibly supportive of the whole event.
It allows us to offer something unique to the racing circuit as far as a venue and we now have big time racing with small town charm and appeal."
The five-stage, 200-plus mile race encompasses riding from Panorama Point to Wahtum Lake, and everywhere between, with $20,000 in cash prizes.
Sure to please the crowds this year will be the Downtown Criterion Stage where racers will weave and veer their bikes around the steep hills and sharp corners of lower downtown Hood River.
Putting on a national caliber venue in Hood River has brought together dozens of local sponsors and volunteers. Organization, set-up, and take-down for the event takes a lot of coordination and effort.
Volunteers are being sought for jobs ranging from course attendants and medics to set-up, tear-down, and station manning.
Anyone interested in helping support the now prestigious 2005 Mt. Hood Cycling Class is encouraged to contact Julie Wilson at Discovery Bicycles: 386-4820.
