Annual Security Report
Year 2012
This report is prepared by the Public Safety Office to comply with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act. The law mandates that institutions receiving Title IV federal funds disseminate crime statistics for certain serious offenses that occurred on campus and in adjacent areas for the current and previous two calendar years. This report is prepared in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies surrounding our main campus and extension centers, Campus Authorities and Public Safety. The purpose of this report is to provide our current and prospective faculty, staff and students with campus safety information, including crime statistics and procedures to use when reporting a crime. The College will not retaliate or allow any retaliation toward a person(s) who reports alleged violations of this act.
Each year, an e-mail notification is sent to all enrolled student, faculty and staff that provides the web site to access this report. Paper copies of this report may also be obtained in the Facilities office room 007, the Human Resource office room 103 and the Enrollment Management Office room 133 all located in Warren Hall. A copy may also be obtained from the Public Safety Office room 164 of the Residence Life building. All prospective employees may obtain a copy from the Human Resource Office.

Counselors and Confidential Crime Reporting

Section 1092(f), clarification was given to those considered to be campus authorities. Campus"Pastoral Counselors" and Campus "Professional Counselors", when acting as such, are not considered to be campus security authorities and are not required to report crimes for inclusion into the annual disclosure of crime statistics. As a matter of policy, they are encouraged, if and when the deem appropriate, to inform persons being counseled of the procedures to report crimes on a voluntary basis for inclusion into annual crime statistics.
The rule making committee defines counselors as:

Crime Prevention Programs
Crime Prevention programs on personal safety and theft prevention are sponsored by Student Services throughout the year. Student Services staff facilitate programs for students providing a variety of strategies and tips on how to protect themselves from sexual assault, theft and other crimes. Security and safety related programs are also provided to students through presentations in Freshman Seminar classes.
Hate Crimes and the Law
It is a SUNY Adirondack mandate to protect all members of the campus community by preventing and prosecuting bias or hate crimes that occur within the campus' jurisdiction.
Hate crimes, also called bias crimes or bias-related crimes, are criminal activity motivated by the perpetrator's bias or attitude against an individual victim or group based on perceived or actual personal characteristics, such as their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Hate/bias crimes have received renewed attention in recent years, particularly since the passage of the federal Hate/Bias Crime Reporting Act of 1990 and the New York State Hate Crimes Act of 2000 (Penal Law Article 485). Copies of the New York law are available from the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs.
Penalties for bias-related crimes are very serious and range from fines to imprisonment for lengthy periods, depending on the nature of the underlying criminal offense, the use of violence, or previous convictions of the offender. Perpetrators who are students will also be subject to campus disciplinary procedures where sanctions including dismissal are possible.
In addition to preventing and prosecuting hate/bias crimes, SUNY Adirondack also assists in addressing bias-related activities that do not rise to the level of a crime. These activities, referred to as bias incidents and defined by SUNY Adirondack as acts of bigotry, harassment, or intimidation directed at a member or group within the SUNY Adirondack community based on national origin, ethnicity, race, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, color, creed, or marital status, may be addressed through the State University's Discrimination Complaint Procedure or the campus Code of Conduct. Bias incidents can be reported to the Dean for Student Affairs or the Director of Human Resources.
If you are a victim of, or witness to a hate/bias crime on campus report it to Campus Security personnel by calling 796-1344 or using a Blue Light phone. You can also contact the Dean for Student Affairs. Designated college personnel will investigate and follow the appropriate adjudication procedures.
Victims of bias crime or bias incidents can avail themselves of counseling and support services from the campus by contacting the Counseling Office at 743-2278, or stopping by the Office, located in Warren Hall.
For general information on SUNY Adirondack security procedures contact the Office of Facilities at 743-2246. Further information about bias-related and bias crimes, including up-to-date statistics on bias crimes is available from Office of the Dean for Student Affairs at 832-7708.
Missing Persons Policy
SUNY Adirondack provides on-campus residential students with the opportunity to register a confidential missing person contact through the office of Residence Life during the move in/resident orientation process. Contact information is kept confidential only to be accessed by authorized campus officials and not disclosed except to law enforcement in cases of missing person reports.
If a faculty/staff member, student or parent believes a student is missing they should contact one of these offices:
- Campus Safety (518) 796-1344
- Residence Life (518) 832-7785
- Dean for Student Affairs (518) 832-7708
Please be prepared to provide a description of the person, if possible, a photo, their local address, length of time missing and any other pertinent information
SUNY Adirondack will, within 24 hours of receiving a report of any missing student, take certain steps to locate students reported missing for 24 hours. These steps include, but are not limited to:
- Attempting to reach student via phone, twitter, facebook, social media or other means of electronic communication
- Contact friends, teachers and acquaintances for any additional information that might help located missing person
- Conduct a search, coordinated by Campus Safety on campus
- If search is unsuccessful the college may, on a case by case basis, determine to prepare a statement to be distributed to the local media
Reports of students determined to be missing will immediately be shared with Campus Safety and then, within 24 hours, contact the local law enforcement.
SUNY Adirondack will contact the confidential contact person designated by residential students within 24 hours of the student being reported missing if student is not found. If a student is under the age of 18 the College will contact the parent or guardian, as well as the confidential contact, if the student reported missing is not found within 24 hours.
Sexual Assault and Stalking
Most sexual assaults are not committed by sociopathic strangers hiding in the shadows. College students are actually in far greater danger of being sexually assaulted by a friend or a fellow student than by a stranger. With its high number of dating and social activities, the campus setting can offer opportunities for date rape to occur.
When a victim's relationship with the offender or the circumstances that are involved make a victim hesitant to report a sexual crime, the term "date rape" or "acquaintance rape" is frequently used. Sometimes the offender is a date or a friend. Sometimes alcohol or drug consumption or sexual play past a mutually agreed upon point is forced upon a partner.
Just as victims have been mistaken about feeling responsible for being attacked, perpetrators have tended to deny their guilt and responsibility. An otherwise reasonable person may suggest that it is all right to pressure or force someone to have sex if:
- He/she paid for a dinner or a night out, especially if the evening was expensive.
- The victim changed his/her mind.
- They have had sex before.
- There was flirtatious behavior.
- The situation was a result of a bar pick-up or other pick-up situation.
These, however, never excuse inappropriate behavior. There is one single principle to remember: when any form of sex is against a person's will, it is against the law. If you have any doubts about what your partner wants, stop and ask.
- It is never okay to force yourself on another person.
- Sex is never owed or due to someone.
- If you have any doubts about what your partner wants, stop and ask.
There are a number of precautions that anyone can take to reduce the risk of being victimized:
- Travel with friends whenever possible.
- Walk directly and with purpose.
- Plan your route in advance. Use only well-lit areas.
- When leaving school or working late, leave with a group. Never be the last one out alone.
- Travel in comfortable walking shoes and clothing.
- Carry a pocketbook only if absolutely necessary, but protect valuables.
- Do not respond to advances from strangers or communicate with them in any way.
- If being followed, do not go home. Go to a police station or nearest public place.
- Service your car regularly to avoid breakdowns.
- Keep your car locked while riding or parked.
- Park in well-lit areas.
- When approaching your car, begin checking from a distance under the car, nearby hiding places, etc.
- Have your keys ready.
- Check the backseat.
- Report suspicious activity to the school and/or police.
- Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself. An immediate reaction of yelling, hitting, or biting may give you a chance to escape, but it may also lead to further harm.
- If your life is in danger, passive resistance (vomiting, urinating, telling the attacker you're diseased or menstruating) may be your best defense.
Campus Disciplinary Proceeding Involving Sexual Assault
In cases of sexual assault, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding. Both the accuser and the accused shall be informed of any institutional disciplinary proceeding alleging a sex offense. Both the accused and the accuser will be provided with the outcome of any disciplinary action taken.
Partner violence happens everywhere to women and men of all ages, income levels, and backgrounds. Research has found that:
- Partner violence is the leading cause of injury to women ages 15-44 in the United States.
- Most abusers are male, and most victims of partner violence are female. However, partner violence also occurs in same-sex relationships, and women can be abusers too.
- Women ages 16-24 are the most likely to experience partner violence.
What to Do If You Are Experiencing Partner Violence
If you are experiencing partner violence, the following actions can help make you safer:
- If you are in immediate danger and are able, call 911.
- Consider leaving the relationship. Abuse usually gets worse, and you deserve to be safe.
- Talk to someone you trust such as clergy, other family members, social workers, your doctor or good friends about what is going on. Campus Safety can help too.
- Keep a crisis line phone number on hand in the event you have to leave in a hurry. Keep a fully charged cell phone on you at all times so you'll be able to make emergency calls.
- Establish a secret emergency phrase or word that will tell friends and family to call the police
- Leave an "emergency kit" with someone you trust such as a friend or another family member. The kit should include money, important telephone numbers, important papers, and other items you would need in the event you would have to leave in a hurry.
Partner Violence Red Flags
While these can be useful, each situation is different and there is no foolproof way to predict or recognize abuse. Trust your instincts.
- Quick Involvement - Abusive relationships are often intense and quick to form.
- Jealousy and Isolation - Abusive partners often begin the cycle of abuse by isolating their partner from friends, family, and anyone else who might challenge their abusive behavior.
- Anger and Violence - Abusive partners often show explosive anger or violent behavior before directing it at their partner.
- Unpredictable Behavior - Abusive partners may switch moods quickly. This is one way to establish control over a fearful partner.
- Belief in Personal Superiority/Sexist Thinking - For example, many abusive men in heterosexual relationships believe that men should control women, that women should be kept "in their place," etc.
- Abusive Behavior - Once a relationship has been established, abusers gradually introduce a range of abusive actions, such as hitting, kicking, slapping, pushing, embarrassing their partner, intimidating their partner and forcing their partner to do things they don't want to. These behaviors can escalate into threatening to harm family/friends/pets, isolating their partner and blaming their partner for the abuse. Abuse tends to become more extreme and violent over time.
Remember: No one deserves to be abused! Perpetrators are responsible for their own actions. Survivors are never to blame.
Helping A Friend
Someone in an abusive relationship may have a very tough time leaving. By being a good friend and offering your support, you can make it a little easier.
- Help your friend recognize the abuse. Tell your friend you are worried about them.
- Help them find counseling and other resources. Contact the Counseling Center at 743-2278 for appropriate resources.
- Don't threaten to break off your friendship. This will only isolate your friend further, and make it harder for them to leave.
Get professional help. Ask a counselor for the best ways to help your friend.
After an attack, the victim should try to be as calm as possible. Getting to a safe place and calling for help promptly is extremely important. Call the police, a friend, or a rape crisis service. Leave the crime scene exactly as it is, not touching anything, cleaning up, or throwing anything away.
Do not change, wash, or destroy any clothing or wash any part of your body. Women should not douche. If the attack occurs on campus, immediately contact the Dean for Student Affairs or the Director of Facilities. It's important to receive medical aid promptly. Not only can internal and external injuries be treated, but measures can also be taken to combat the possibilities of disease. This is also an opportunity to collect evidence.
As soon as possible, write down every detail about the incident.
- Who, what, where, and how.
- What the rapist looked like.
- The make and model of the vehicle.
- What kind of force or coercion was used.
- Any objects touched, taken, or left by the rapist.
- If the rapist said anything, try to remember the words, the grammar, any accents, or speech defects.
- If there were witnesses, obtain names and addresses, if possible.
A victim should seek professional help and not try to deal with rape alone. Several numbers to call are available through the Counseling Office.
We at SUNY Adirondack are concerned for each and every student's safety and security. Please contact the Counseling Office for a listing of community agencies.
REMEMBER: Every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which course of action is appropriate.
Sex Offender Registration
In Accordance with the "campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act" of 2000, which amends the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act, The Jeanne Clery Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Campus Safety Department of SUNY Adirondack is providing a Link to the New York State Sex Offender Registry. This act requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement information provided by a State concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a State to provide notice to each institution of higher education in that State at which the person is employed, carries a vocation, or is a student. In the State of New York, convicted sex offenders must register with the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services.
The Sex Offender Registry is available via Internet. Registry information is provided is to be used for the purposes of the administration of criminal justice, screening of current or prospective employees, volunteers or otherwise for the protection of the public in general and children in particular. Unlawful use of information for purposes of intimidating or harassing another is prohibited and willful violation shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Domestic violence, dating violence, relationship violence, and intimate partner violence, is a pattern of abusive behavior (physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological) that is used by one person to gain power and control over a current or former dating partner or intimate partner or current or former spouse, including gay or lesbian relationships.
Stalking is defined as a pattern of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment that is intended to cause or does cause a person to fear or suffer: (1) Death or death of others important to that person; (2) Assault or assault of others important to that person; (3) Bodily injury or bodily injury of others important to that person; (4) Sexual assault or sexual assault of others important to that person; (5) Involuntary restraint or involuntary restraint of others important to that person; (6) Damage to property or damage to property of others important to that person; (7) Confinement or confinement of others important to that person, (8) Threats of harassment via electronic devices (e.g. e-mail, phone, fax).

The relationship between the perpetrator and the victim may be a current or former dating partner or spouse, married, or living together, including gay and lesbian relationships, acquaintances, or strangers. Domestic violence and stalking is prohibited by campus regulation and by New York State penal law.
(Alcohol and Controlled Substances)

In addition, as a federal contractor (or grantee), it has a duty to safely and efficiently provide the public with quality education. The unlawful presence of controlled substances on the campus conflicts with these vital interests and constitutes a violation of the public trust. For these reasons, the College has established, as a condition of one's enrollment and continued enrollment, the following drug-free campus policy.
II. Standards of Conduct Prohibiting Illicit Drug and Alcohol Abuse
A. Prohibition Against Unlawful Presence of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol On-Campus
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of illicit drugs or alcohol on College premises or while engaged in College activities is strictly prohibited.

E. Statement on College's Cooperation with Law Enforcement Officials
The College will cooperate fully and completely with local or state authorities on any case of suspected use, possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. In the event that any student is apprehended by local, state or federal authorities for the offense of use, possession or distribution of illicit drugs or alcohol, that student will not be in any way protected by the College. A student convicted of violating civil law may be subject to separation from the College.
III. Health Risks Associated with Illicit Drug and Alcohol
In order to be informed citizens, we all need to be aware of the health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and alcohol abuse. The following is a brief summary of some of the health hazards caused by the use of:
Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses can significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spousal and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person's ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described.
Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.
Controlled Substances
There is overwhelming evidence that illegal drug use leads to academic failure, failure to get a job, failure to keep a job and maintenance of good health, as well as creating other problems.
IV. Legal Sanctions Imposed for Illicit Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Preventing the spread of unlawful possession, use and distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol is everyone's responsibility. If you wish to report illegal drug activity, you can make a toll-free call to: 1-800-GIVE-TIP. Calls will be received in complete confidence and will be referred to the appropriate Federal, State, or local authority. Considerations regarding a few of the state legal sanctions follow:
Articles 220 and 221 of the Penal Law are directly aimed at unlawful traffic in mind-affecting drugs. They are compatible with the Public Health Law and the provisions of the latter are often cross-referenced in the Penal Law sections that deal with the different drugs. Articles 220 and 221 set criminal penalties for possession or sale of drugs considered harmful or subject to abuse. The seriousness of the offense and penalty imposed upon conviction depend upon the individual drug and amount held or sold. Marijuana has been placed in Article 221 and separately dealt with in the Penal Law, as a result of the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977. That statute made the penalties upon conviction of use of small amounts of marijuana less severe than formerly. Specific sections of interest in Article 220 not included in the table follow:
Section 220.44 makes a sale of a controlled substance in or near school grounds, to a person less than 19 years of age, Class B felony. 220.45 makes criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument a Class A misdemeanor. 220.46 makes criminal injection of another person with a narcotic drug, with consent of that person, a Class E felony. 220.50 bans possession or sale of drug paraphernalia; deals with things that dilute drugs, like dextrose or mannite; and gelatin capsules, plastic envelopes, etc., considered commercial preparation materials (Class E felony). 220.60 makes criminal possession of certain "precursors" of controlled substances used in their preparation or manufacture but not the drugs themselves, a Class E felony (for example, ergot or diethylamide).
It is important to be aware, that under the Penal Law, a gift of drugs, including marijuana, is treated as a sale. New York State Penal Law defines a misdemeanor as a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than 15 days but not more than one year. A felony is a crime punishable by imprisonment for more than one year.
V. Assistance in Matters Related to Drug and Alcohol Abuse
SUNY Adirondack has a commitment to help students succeed academically, vocationally and socially. We can assist you with drug or alcohol related problems or can refer you to someone who can. Please see your advisor, a counselor or the Dean for Student Affairs if you wish to discuss a problem with drugs or alcohol. We can help you find assistance off-campus through individuals or agencies. Also, to help in maintaining an environment that does not permit the possession or use of illicit drugs and alcohol, SUNY Adirondack has established an awareness program to provide education for students, faculty and staff regarding the following aspects of the use of illicit drugs and alcohol: standards of conduct, disciplinary sanctions by the College, health risks, legal sanctions by local, state and federal laws and rehabilitation, counseling and re-entry. Such education may include (1) inclusion of this statement in the Student Handbook; (2) video tape and print materials made available to students in class, the Student Center and the Counseling Offices; (3) the distribution of lists of those agencies and individuals who can assist students in coping with drug and alcohol abuse problems.
This policy and program will be reviewed at least biennially by a representative committee of students and staff selected and chaired by the Dean for Student Affairs. The committee's purpose will be to determine the program's effectiveness and ensure that disciplinary sanctions are consistently enforced.

Category: The Off Season
The Milwaukee Bucks have begun their last three seasons with three different starting shooting guards since the departure of Michael Redd's knees.
Monta Ellis.
Stephen Jackson.
John Salmons.
And now the Bucks fourth shooting guard in the last four seasons will be O.J. (Ovinton J'Anthony) Mayo after he reportedly agreed to sign a 3-year/$24 million deal with the team.
The 25-year old guard out of USC was the 3rd pick in the 2008 NBA Draft and played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks before his upcoming time in Milwaukee. He, like the three previous guards, scores and doesn't do much else. His defense is below-average and his size, 6'4, is nothing to tell the cows.
But, outside of what seems like glaring similarities between Mayo and Ellis and Jackson and Salmons, Mayo is not them. He's a much better shooter and he's still young. So while this signing helps push the Bucks' collective head back under the water of Mediocre Ocean, they definitely could've done a lot worse than O.J. Mayo.
In order to prove this, let's compare O.J. Mayo to Monta Ellis. (I'm not looking at Jackson or Salmons because they're awful.) We'll start with the basics.
An ol' fashioned 6-6 head-tie. Mayo sweeps the shooting categories and Ellis takes all the intangibles besides turnovers. Ellis could conceivably have 7 heads, but I gave FGA to Mayo because 17 field goal attempts per game at 41 percent shooting is stupid and should not be rewarded. But if you were to judge these two players solely off this incredible graphic, it would seem clear Mayo is a much better shooting guard. However, LET'S DIG A LITTLE DEEPER.
Here are the two player's shot charts, via NBAwowy.
Some observations on these charts:
- Monta Ellis shoots and misses everywhere. It's incredible.
- O.J. Mayo gets to the rim a lot less than Ellis. This explains his reduced assist numbers.
- Mayo stays on the right side for his mid-range and would give Brandon Jennings plenty of room to work on the left.
- Again. Mayo is simply a much better shooter than Ellis.
- NBAwowy! is great.
With these charts, it's easy to see Ellis had a much higher usage rate, 26.3 percent, than Mayo, 20.9 percent, last year. (Ellis had the 17th highest usage rate of players who qualified for the points per game leader board.) But this makes sense with Ellis being the number one (sorry Brandon) scoring option for the Bucks last season. Mayo had this guy named Dirk Nowitzki on his team. However, Nowitzki missed the first 29 games of last season making Mayo the number one scoring option for the Mavericks. Let's dig into those number real quick.
In the first 25 games for the Mavericks last season, O.J. Mayo averaged 20.6 points, 3.7 assists, and 4 rebounds per game on 48.8 percent from the field and 51.9 percent (!!!) from 3-point. These numbers, especially the 3-point percentage, are clearly remarkable and more than likely unable to be spread out across an entire season. But they're promising as this was the only time in Mayo's career when he was the main scoring option for a semi-lengthy period of time. During Ellis' best season in the league, 2009-10 in Golden State, he put up far superior scoring numbers over 25 game stretches, but never the percentages Mayo displayed. And even with these incredible percentages from Mayo, he still shot less per game during the stretch, 14.8 FGA per game, than Ellis did all season. It's astounding.
And this shooting talent is something which won't deteriorate much with age. A surprising thing you see when you look back at Ellis' game logs from his Golden State days is how infrequently he took 3-point shots. He averaged 2.4 3-point shots per game over his six seasons in Golden State. But now he feels like he must shoot more as his reduced explosiveness and speed have limited his ability to get to the rim. Ellis averaged four 3-point shots per game last season for Milwaukee. He'll likely average more than that next season. And more than that the season after. Insert "DANGER KEEP AWAY" sign.
In addition, Mayo will rarely shoot the Bucks out of a game. When looking at the elusive "bad shooting night" statistic (15 FGA + < 40 FG% shooting), Mayo only accomplished this feat 7 times last season. Ellis? He did it 29 times. Twenty. Wait for it. Nine. In other words, 35 percent of Monta Ellis' games last year were "bad shooting nights."
Unfortunately, here comes the scary part. Mayo's numbers plummeted once Nowitzki returned to the Mavericks lineup. In the 54 games following Dirk's return, Mayo averaged 13.2 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game on 43.6 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from 3-point. That's a classic 16.9 percent dip in 3-point shooting. But that percentage is still significantly higher than the awful 28.7 percent Ellis chucked up there all last season.
So where are we at? Mayo can clearly shoot better than Ellis. I've mentioned this, right? Ellis is a much stronger finisher at the rim, can create more on his own, and does a better job creating for others. He's arguably a more talented overall basketball player than Mayo. He's just inconsistent as all get-out.
For Mayo, it's fair to say a problem last year was there were not a lot of people for him to create for on the Mavericks roster. He didn't have the benefit of Larry Sanders alley-oops or Ersan Ilyasova at the top of the key or Mike Dunleavy coming off screens or Jennings randomly deciding to play well. Mayo's assists were also the only major statistic to rise upon Nowitzki's return.
If you're building a team, Mayo seems to obviously be the shooting guard you would pick between the two players moving forward. Are there better shooting guards in the league? For sure. Are there better shooting guards for the Bucks to have signed? Arguably not. If the Bucks goal is truly to win now, then Mayo is the correct signing … especially when he comes with a semi-reasonable, easily-tradeable contract.
All that said, there's a disclaimer. I clearly believe Mayo is a far superior player to Ellis and someone who with the right team around him could be a solid contributor in the league. I'm excited that he's only 25. I like that his first name is orange juice and his last name is Miracle Whip. But I also completely realize how useless this signing is for the Milwaukee Bucks franchise. All Mayo will add is wins to a team which won't get many and the Bucks will simply find themselves back in the awkward 7th-10th seed position. I'm also worried about stuff like this.
So while it may not be fun and it may not be easy, it's what we're going to see. And we can do this.
Because in the end, we're Bucks fans and we're fully aware of what that requires.

Hey, this is the best article I've read about the Bucks since the season ended. Great job, Jon!
SUPER job Jon! I agree with Mr. Delaney. Your piece is EASILY the best article I've read in a long time, and I'm not just talking basketball. You not only did your homework; you presented your case in a logical and well-organized manner. Damn! I'm pumped about O.J. Mayo now!
I don't think this keeps them out of the lottery. They will get younger and more talented next offseason, and with that, Mayo won't be starting. Instead he'll be the 3 point threat off the bench (and still a reasonably young threat). I like it.
Hartzell bringing the thunda!
A few points that I think are important.. Not sure why we ding OJ for assists when he was 4th among shooting guards is assists/game.. his assists were up when he was the primary ball handler and they decreased when he wasn't, just like Monta
Next, this is the most athletic team Mayo has been on by far, so I expect his stats to take a boost in that department with easy scoring opportunities and assists
Last, as much as you may not like Brandon Jennings he is the best PG that OJ has played with (sorry Collison and Conley, but it's true) and if Brandon gets the Drew effect like we are all hoping this could work out just fine
You'd rank Jennings above Conley?
He means when Conley and Mayo played together not the Conley of right now. Even right now Id say Jennings is better for two reasons. Scott Skiles/Jim Boylan can not coach and I'm a homer.
I just want Jennings gone!
As far as free agency goes, we arguably got the best guard still available, and for a fair price. I think what is more important than either tanking or winning now is developing what we already have. We needed a SG who could start and we got one, so now we can actually have a team to play with and develop our young players. Whether or not we tank or end up in 8th again, creating a team around players that are not leaving, or leaving head coaches for that matter, is key to any success in the future, especially for a franchise like the Bucks. Chances are we'll end up in the lottery anyways. Let's just hope we make no more mistakes like the Harris trade again.
I'm also hoping we can sign and trade Ellis, depending where he wants to go. Bucks could always use something for nothing.
An eye-opener article, and very easy to understand. Thanks for giving us dummies some red/blue charts to help us understand. Im relieved in the O.J. signing. Im hoping our new head coach, and assistants can help Mayo take full advantage of his potential. Im already on board with it!
As for backcourt, ..still too much unsettled business. Jennings-staying, going? And if staying…is it for success of team OR to bolster his #s for next year F.A. ? I would rather Jennings moves on down the line …lets get some FRESH players in here. Too much bologna between Jennings and the front office. Teague still a possibilty? We still NEED to fill out a roster, lets all THINK POSITIVE ….hope & pray for good moves for our 2013/14 squad!!!!
This was very reassuring, thank you Jon
We owe Marquette some props, because I seriously doubt we get Mayo here and certainly not on these reasonable contractual terms if baby bro wasn't playing for the Golden Eagles.
I am not surprised that once again this was a crazy good read.
My immediate reaction to this signing was one of relief. OJ is a decent scorer who doesnt demand 15+ shots a game and has more size(even if its only slightly more) than Monta. His salary is much easier to stomach then paying a volume shooter over $10mil and i like his upside more then Monta's at this point in their respective careers. Lets assume Brandon gets resigned and we continue to start Larry Sanders and Ersan. That just leaves a hole at SF. I like Henson coming off the bench along with Ish, Carlos Delfino, and Zaza. I'm not saying this is a championship lineup but lets take it one step at a time and try and cultivate some chemistry for once. I think one thing that gets lost in the headlines shuffle is that Brandon has had to get used to having new starters on the court with him almost every season not to mention coaching changes. I'd like to see a string of 2-3 seasons with no major moves before i pass judgement on a player and team with young talent and upside. P.S. Amnesty Drew Gooden for the love of god we could use that cap space elsewhere on the roster!

Are you drowning in debt? Living paycheck to paycheck? Do you think there isn't any way to get ahead? If you answered yes to any of those questions, FOX 5 went to bestselling author and talk show host Dave Ramsey to get advice for you.Ramsey dishes out straight talk to millions of listeners during his weekly radio show from his studios at Financial Peace Plaza.The Brentwood, Tenn. campus is home to his multi-million dollar company. Thousands visit annually to meet Dave, watch his live radio broadcast and share their success stories on the lobby wall."It's very impressive. I enjoy listening to him on the radio hearing his practical, common sense advice," said Kent Chism. Ramsey finds very few people wind up in debt immediately. For most, it's debt by a thousand cuts, overspending over time that leads to trouble."It's really not thinking and being intentional with their money a little bit at a time and you wake up 10 years later and you got $30,000 in credit card debts, $15,000 on a car and there's still a student loan that's been around so long I think it's a pet," Ramsey said.Millions have successfully followed the plan spelled out in Dave's New York Times bestseller "Total Money Makeover" to get out of debt for good."I don't know of a single reason I want to be in debt. I can't think of a dream or a fear or a want or a need or some fun or even some faux happiness that I want badly enough to get into debt for it, because the tradeoff is just too heavy," Ramsey said.The first thing Dave wants you to do is undergo a "plasectomy" -- cut up those credit cards!Next, get $1,000 dollars in the bank fast by getting a second job or selling stuff around the house."Have a garage sale, you put the cat on craigslist and the dog on eBay. Sell so much stuff the kids think they are next," said Ramsey.Third, sit down with all your bills and figure out how much you owe down to the penny and then come up with a budget."Meaning I have to plan my income and then my expenses. I have give every dollar a mission, every dollar a name before the month begins. My friend John Maxwell says a budget is people telling their money what to do instead of wondering where it went," Ramsey said. Ramsey says it takes about three months on average to work out all the kinks. Then start paying down your debt using the "snowball method," which is paying down one bill at a time, starting with the smallest.Once you've paid off all your creditors, start building up that emergency fund and saving for big ticket items."Now once you have built some wealth, you can let your foot off the intensity gas pedal a little bit, enjoy the ride a little bit more, but you are doing all of that with cash," Ramsey said. Dave says following the plan takes discipline, and that people shouldn't get discouraged. He encourages you to stay focused and says the plan gets easier over time as folks get closer to realizing their goals.

Terrific Tuesday For Favored Doubles Duos
Published June 28, 2011 09:41
LONDON, England - A day after five seeded teams went down, it was an upset-free Tuesday in doubles at the All-England Club, although No.2 seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik were pushed to the brink, edging No.14 seeds Cara Black and Shahar Peer, 62 57 63, to reach the quarterfinals.
While Peschke and Srebotnik have yet to go all the way in the six Grand Slams they have played, they have shown remarkable consistency, only falling short of the quarters once. They have also shown especially good form on grass, where they are now 13-2, including five victories en route to the title in Eastbourne earlier this month.
No team has had an easier path to the quarterfinals than third-seeded Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond. They dropped just three games in the first round, one in the second round and again only one in the third round of their 61 60 rout of Angelique Kerber and Christina McHale. Next up for the Americans, semifinalists at this year's French Open in their only previous major, are lucky losers Marina Erakovic and Tamarine Tanasugarn.
In another quarterfinal that was set Tuesday, No.4 seeds Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina will take on Nuria Llagostera Vives and Arantxa Parra Santonja. Mirza and Vesnina, runners-up at Roland Garros in their only previous major, beat No.13 seeds Daniela Hantuchova and Agnieszka Radwanska, 64 63. The Spaniards topped Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, 75 64. They also beat the Italians in the final of Marbella earlier this year for their second career title together.
Both of the quarterfinals that are in place are scheduled for Wednesday, as well as the remaining three third round matches.

Utah senators yielded to public pressure and decided to hold off Wednesday on confirming Gov. Gary Herbert's appointment of an EnergySolutions representative to the state Radiation Control Board, but also held back an environmental advocate for further review.
The body approved six of eight nominees from Herbert, but a committee will further review the nomination of Dan Shrum, the radioactive waste company's regulatory compliance officer. He would fill a slot reserved by law for an industry representative, but the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah and others protested that it's a conflict of interest to appoint someone from the state's major waste company.

|Post a Comment
Sen. Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe, chairs the Natural Resources Confirmation Committee and on Wednesday took the unusual step of withholding Shrum's name for committee review. He said he did so at the request of Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, who also requested further review for Sarah Fields, an advocate with Moab-based Uranium Watch.
Okerlund said he agreed to conduct a hearing for both "in the interest of fairness [because] the environmental appointee probably has an agenda as well."
HEAL Utah welcomed the news of Shrum's delay as an opportunity to prevent "the fox guarding the henhouse."
"We applaud the Senate for realizing this appointment requires scrutiny," policy director Matt Pacenza said.
He called on the governor to withdraw Shrum's nomination.
The governor's office stood by the appointment Wednesday. Spokeswoman Ally Isom said Shrum's was the only application to fill the industry position on the board.
EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker said the company respects lawmakers' decision to further review Shrum's appointment. He said Shrum is "the most qualified individual within the industry to serve on that board. He has spent his career working on environmental issues, in particular surrounding the nuclear industry and what we do in waste disposal.
"He is a very fair, very ethical individual. Dan Shrum's ethics will not be compromised if he is appointed to this board," Walker said.
Okerlund said he had no problems with Shrum's appointment, and had not heard of any issues from senators until Wednesday.
"I thought that Mr. Shrum is actually a tremendous individual with a great background in radiation — probably a go-to guy if there are any questions on radiation," he said. "I have no reservations there."
He does represent a regulated company, Okerlund said, but the board has eight members to provide "checks and balances."

If you aren't registered to vote and want to vote in the primary election this August, time is almost up. In addition to registering to vote, many people are changing their party affiliation to Republican because the state is a closed primary and more candidates run as Republicans.
Staff with the Lee County Elections office worked through the weekend updating voter rolls.
Elections supervisor Sharon Harrington explains the thinking behind Florida being a 'closed-primary' state.
"The party is trying to do is get their best candidate to run against the opposition in November," said Harrington.
This week workers are busy adding new voters, changing party affiliation and updating addresses.
In several races there are no Democratic candidates. That means some voters will switch parties so they have more influence in the primary.
Harrington says a lot of times people forget to switch back to their original party after November. They won't realize it until they go to vote in the next election cycle.
Two key dates to remember. Next Monday is the last day to register for the primary.
Tuesday August 14th is the actual primary election.

The uretrovesical junction is located where the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney) meets the bladder. Ureterovesical junction (UVJ) obstruction refers to a blockage
View Large
Ureterovesical Junction
Obstruction Illustrationto this area. The obstruction impedes the flow of urine down to the bladder, causing the urine to back up in the ureters and kidney, creating dilation of the system (megaureter and hydronephrosis).
Unilateral UVJ obstruction is the second most common prenatally detected obstructive disease, often picked up on maternal ultrasounds during pregnancy. Each year, we treat nearly 100 children who have a UVJ obstruction.
Due to the increased use of prenatal imaging, UVJ obstruction may be identified before any symptoms are present. If any dilation is identified in the kidneys or ureters, the baby will be monitored throughout the pregnancy and after birth. Once the baby is born, further imaging studies may confirm the obstruction. Older children typically experience back or flank pain and kidney stones. The pain may be associated with nausea and vomiting. Other symptoms might include bloody urine, a urinary tract infection (often with a fever), or might even be a vague abdominal pain.
UVJ obstruction usually occurs during fetal development. Most of the time, the blockage is caused when the connection between the ureter and the bladder narrows. UVJ obstruction can also be due to scar tissue, infection, a benign polyp or kidney stones.
Renal bladder ultrasound (RBUS): This procedure uses sound waves to outline the kidneys and bladder. It will enable us to see the degree of hydronephrosis (dilation of the kidney).
MAG III renal scan: This study will be performed to determine how each kidney is functioning and will determine the degree of blockage, if noted. An intravenous line (IV) is used to inject a special solution called an isotope into the veins. The isotope makes it possible to see the kidneys clearly. Pictures of the kidneys will be taken with a large machine that rotates around your child. Your child will need an IV and a catheter for this study.
MRI/MRU: MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies and a computer to produce detailed images of the kidneys, ureters and bladder. Your child will need an IV and a catheter for this study as well as sedation if she is young and might have difficulty tolerating the length of the study, which is typically 40 minutes.
Each year, approximately 50 ureteral reimplantations are done at CHOP. Our overall goal in treating a UVJ obstruction is to preserve renal function. In situations where the kidney function is compromised, surgical intervention is needed. In some children, an ultrasound may show a significant amount of dilation (megaureter and hydronephrosis) but the kidney functions and drains well. In this situation, we will closely follow your child with repeated imaging studies.
In a newborn with massive ureteral dilation or poor renal function, a cutaneous distal ureterostomy may be recommended. The ureter is surgically brought to the surface of the skin to allow it to drain urine freely into the diaper. This allows the affected kidney and ureter to decompress. Around 18 months of age, the ureter is then reimplanted into the bladder.
In select cases, the obstruction can be managed completely endoscopically (without any skin incisions). Your child's surgery will be done under general anesthesia. While your child is asleep, the surgeon will use a laser to open up the obstruction. He will then use a small balloon to expand the narrow area and leave a temporary small tube, called a stent, to allow the urine to drain.
The surgical procedure to correct UVJ obstruction is called a ureteral reimplantation. This surgical procedure involves removing the section of the ureter that is abnormal, reducing it and reconnecting the ureter.
In young babies, the reimplantation is done through a small incision. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an option for children older than 6 months of age. The reimplantation can be done either laparoscopically or through a robotic assisted laparoscopic approach. The minimally invasive approach is accomplished through three small incisions, the size of a grain of rice. The advantages are smaller, less visible incisions and a quicker recovery period. The minimally invasive technique is not appropriate for all children. Your healthcare provider will work with you and your family to determine what kind of intervention is best.

The Museum's popular Masterworks|Portland series continues with an exceptional painting of Renaissance Venice, Titian's La Bella (Woman in a Blue Dress). The luminous La Bella is a classic portrait of a beautiful woman that illustrates the continually evolving and infinitely elusive ideal of beauty. La Bella has never been exhibited in the United States and Portland is her only West Coast appearance. The painting was recently cleaned and conserved in Florence, returning La Bella to her original glory.
A color catalogue accompanies this single-painting exhibition and not only describes the historical significance of the work but also details the recent conservation project.
This exhibition is organized by the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, in collaboration with the Foundation for Italian Art and Culture, New York, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Art and Humanities.

This year's National Metal/Non Metal Mine Rescue Contest has to be considered one of the most successful contests on record for MNM.
On August 1, American coal miners will be better protected from the disabling respiratory diseases known as black lung, as historic regulations go into effect.
During the first half of 2014, 22 miners were killed in accidents in the mining industry. Mining deaths are preventable, and these deaths are a reminder that much more needs to be done to protect the nation's miners.

The Studio Projects CS-1000 is well equipped to handle any recording application. It is designed to deliver the finest quality vocal and instrumental recordings. Sam Ash Direct has the guaranteed lowest price and fast free, shipping.
The Studio Projects CS-1000 cardioid microphone is suitable for all styles of recording and vocal/instrument types. The bundle includes a spider style shockmount in matching black, a cloth pop filter in black, and a quality XLR cable.
Feel free to use it in a kick drum, or other very loud sources – it's not going to break because it's designed to handle high SPLs up to 154dB! However, it is best to protect the mic from moisture and large temperature swings as this may affect the transducer (capsule), which may become noisy, or lose sensitivity. If this happens, put the mic in a warm dry space for ten minutes or so and the problem will subside. At best, the mic should be stored in a fairly airtight space with a bunch of silica gel packets. These precautions are a condenser mic's best friend.
The Studio Projects CS-1000 is an externally polarized cardioid pressure gradient transducer microphone with FET impedance converter. The capsule is a 1.06" (27mm) capsule. It features four selectable pads, four high pass filters, and four low pass filters for added control in various recording applications and a clear, full response expected from a large capsule microphone design.
The Studio Projects CS-1000 Bundle starts with the CS1 microphone outfitted with a striking black finish. It is an externally polarized cardioid pressure gradient transducer microphone with JFET impedance converter. The transducer diaphragm material is 6-micron mylar with gold vapor deposition. There are three rotary switches on the body of the mic, which have five positions each:
The front switch features four selectable pads: -5dB,-10dB, -15dB and -20dB. From the rear of the mic, the left rotary switch is the "high pass" filter control. The four frequency poles are, 50Hz, 75Hz, 150Hz and 300Hz.
Looking from the rear of the mic, the rotary dial on the right side of the mic controls the selectable "low pass" filters. The first setting, labeled "15kHz" is different from the other three filters, in that it only targets a specific frequency range between 12kHz-16kHz. It is more of a fixed EQ setting used to reduce that frequency range by up to 3.5dB. This is particularly useful on sources such as violin, flute, etc. It also works well with vocals.
The other three filters are 6dB/octave. The frequency poles are, 7kHz, 5kHz and 3kHz. The output circuitry of the CS1 is active 'impedance balanced'. Signal on pin-2 is positive.
Get your Studio Projects CS-1000 Cardioid Recording Microphone Bundle today from Sam Ash Direct and enjoy the confidence that comes from fast, free shipping, the guaranteed lowest price and our 45/60-day return/price protection policy.

What form of renewable energy has or will have the lowest impact on biodiversity?
Climate change, air pollution, rising sea levels and species extinction can all be attributed to the increasing usage of non-renewable energy in the world today. Non-renewable energy reserves are diminishing and finite with an ever-increasing demand from countries around the world. Coal, natural gas and oil all have detrimental effects on the environment. These effects are both local and global, harming species throughout the world. As we consider different renewable forms of energy, can we rank their potential impacts on biodiversity?

Rohan BorkarApr 24 2013: While solar, wind, and tidal energy are extremely efficient, they're not as dependable as immediately obtainable sources of energy. While fossil fuels are a current primary source of energy, I believe hydrogen can be a valid future source. I talked about this in my 2nd convo-starter in my discussion of hydrogen fuel cells. Hydrogen is the most abundant substance in the universe, consisting of 75% of all mass. A hydrogen fuel cell runs on isolated hydrogen, kept on a metal substance to prevent it from escaping, and combines it with atmospheric oxygen to form water and electrical energy. Because no CO2 is produced, I assume this will not have a negative environmental impact on biodiversity and atmospheric CO2 levels. While this isn't the most rapid chemical reaction, there are significant catalysts (platinum in particular) that can work to help the reaction along. This brings me to why these fuel cells may not be realistic yet. Hydrogen fuel cells are expensive, modern car manufacturers spend roughly 1 million to create a functioning car. Additionally, these fuel cells are very delicate, and only work under optimal conditions (temperature, pressure, etc). The last issue is that hydrogen isn't easy to isolate, and readily escapes; so collecting and containing hydrogen requires more advances in technology. Despite all this, I think hydrogen fueled cells have a potential future in our growing economy, not just in cars but for many other products.
Noel LaporteApr 24 2013: I also like the idea of using something so abundant as hydrogen to meet our energy demands. Currently it needs much research and development however, deems promising in the future. I personally believe that we should go nuclear, Thorium in particular, until a more efficient means of utilizing hydrogen as a primary energy source becomes a reality. Switching away from fossil fuels as rapidly as possible will help curb global climate increase, saving as many species and biomes as possible. The biggest issue currently is transitioning out of fossil fuels... a relationship our current lifestyles cannot live without. Only through a successful transition between primary energy sources will we even begin to curb the damage we have inflicted.
