Shelby and Carson were two of the dozens of local residents with physical and mental challenges who came to the tenth annual Mark Wellman's Adventure Day. For a decade, the event hosted by the city and world-class paraplegic athlete Wellman has given northern Nevadans with handicaps a chance to try rock climbing, sailing, paddling and other sports using specially adapted equipment.
Wellman, a resident of Truckee, Calif., lost the use of his legs 30 years ago in a climbing accident. But being in a wheelchair hasn't stopped his adventurous spirit. Since his accident he has compiled a resume that would impress even Indiana Jones. Last year, Wellman and friend John Arno, a paraplegic from Reno, skied to Crater Lake in Oregon. They each toted 20 pounds of equipment with them for nine miles and camped on the lake's rim for two days.
On Sunday, Wellman was encouraging young and old alike as they scaled the rock climbing wall.
"If anyone comes to us at the climbing wall and wants to do it, we'll make it happen," Wellman said. Sunday's climbers included a man who could only use one arm and a blind person, he said.
Carson Berek got a little help from volunteers getting to the top of the wall and ringing the bell. His mother, Pam, said this was their first year at Adventure Day and she was glad they came. She said exercise is helpful for Carson, who is otherwise confined to a wheelchair, to keep his muscles from atrophying. But that is no different from anyone else, she said.
"The more you can do, the better off you are," Pam said.
Jill Benzing sang the praises of the local chapter of AMBUCS, a non-profit organization that over the last two years has donated about 80 specially designed bicycles to northern Nevadans who have limited mobility. Her daughter Shelby, who is in a regular first-grade class at Dunn Elementary School, was on her donated "AmTryke" on Sunday, which is equipped with pedals so she can move herself or Jill can push her from behind.
"It's great because it makes her able to interact with her typical peers," Jill said. "If they're out riding their bikes, she has a bike to ride."
Aaron Stevens, president of the local AMBUCS chapter, said the organization will give away several bicycles next weekend in an event at Lazy 5 Regional Park in Spanish Springs. The bicycles give children like Shelby a feeling of freedom that is an important part of everyone's life.
"Every single person you know can remember how it felt the first time they rode a bike," said Stevens, who is also an occupational therapist and makes artificial limbs and braces. "No matter who you are, you should experience that freedom."
For more information or to make a donation to AMBUCS, email email@example.com or find them on Facebook.

If you believe having sex or breastfeeding are bona fide ways to keep the extra pounds off, you may want to check your sources.
Montclair State University's Diana Thomas, involved in the Center for Quantitative Obesity Research at the university, recently participated in a study to debunk common myths about weight loss, which appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The team of researchers, led by David Allison, Ph.D., associate dean for science in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, quashed the following myths:
Myth 1: Small sustained changes in how many calories we take in or burn will accumulate to produce large weight changes over the long term.
Fact: Small changes in calorie intake or expenditure do not accumulate indefinitely. This is because changes in body mass eventually cancel out the change in calorie intake or burning.
Myth 2: Setting realistic weight loss goals will make you less likely to give up.
Fact: Some data suggest that people do better with more ambitious goals.
Myth 3: Gradually losing weight is better than quickly lost pounds, because quick weight losses are more likely to be regained.
Fact: People who lose more weight rapidly are more likely to weigh less, even after several years.
Myth 4: Patients who feel "ready" to lose weight are more likely to make the required lifestyle changes, and therefore healthcare professionals need to measure each patient's diet readiness.
Fact: Among those who seek weight loss treatment, evidence suggests that assessing readiness neither predicts weight loss nor helps to make it happen.
Myth 5: Physical education classes, in their current form, play an important role in reducing or preventing childhood obesity.
Fact: Physical education, as typically provided, does not appear to counter obesity.
Myth 6: Breastfeeding protects the breastfed offspring against future obesity.
Fact: Breastfeeding has many benefits for mother and child, but the data do not show that it protects against obesity.
Myth 7: One episode of sex can burn up to 300 calories for each person involved.
Fact: It may be closer to one twentieth of that for the average man, and only slightly more than sitting on the couch.
The study also found six more common beliefs that seem to be wrong, although more research is needed. These beliefs include finding no effective evidence to suggest that eating regularly throughout the day versus skipping breakfast will contribute to losing weight.

Your Montclair Patch editor recently spoke with Thomas about the study.
Patch: How did the idea for this study come about?
Thomas: It was about a year ago when Montclair State was contacted by David Allison, the lead researcher for the project. We discussed this idea that there are beliefs held not just by the public but also by scientists, despite a lack of evidence or really sound evidence demonstrating otherwise.
So we wondered why these beliefs were so pervasive.
Patch: Are you saying that dietitians, professionals and people who get paid for their opinions about weight loss are getting this wrong?
Thomas: Absolutely.
If you look at the first myth, that small changes in calorie intake leads to weight loss, it is up on the United State's Surgeon General's website. This rule was developed in the 1950s, and the rule has never been tested and was actually recently debunked in 2011.
This idea is also endorsed by weight loss programs, researchers, various websites, textbooks, downloadable apps, and is even being taught by Montclair State's Nutrition Department!
Patch: Is there one myth far and above the most widely held?
Thomas: The first myth is probably the most prevalent. It seems to be ingrained everywhere.
Patch: How were these myths debunked?
Thomas: For each of these ideas about weight loss, we looked at them scientifically. We devised an experiment to really test these ideas.
The myth about breast feeding and weight loss, for example, needs to take into account innumerable different things, such as economic levels. A study was done comparing two siblings, one who was breast fed and one who was not, and years later there was no evidence suggesting one's weight is affected by being breast fed.
Patch: Are people's belief in how to lose weight easily changed or corrected?
Thomas: No, people's belief in these myths and many more are very strong. This is the one place that science has trouble. The science my by very rigorous and carefully done, but the science for some reason still has trouble swaying an individual's belief.
Patch: So what can people do to maintain a healthy weight?
Thomas: We offer many suggestions in the study. Another great place for more information is the National Weight Control Registry, which uses real people's experience and keeps tract of the methods that contributed to their weight loss.
For example, 89 percent of the people in that national registry lost weight with a combination of diet and exercise. While hardly anyone has lost weight and maintained it with either diet or exercise alone.
Thomas has been at the university since 2000. Her research interests include developing, validating, and applying mathematical models to obesity related issues. Thomas has developed body composition models for use within energy balance equations that predict changes in weight in response to altered diet, increased exercise energy expenditure, and pregnancy.

First Raditude, then Hurley (who was supposed to be a return to Weezer's old formula, i.e. "good songs"), and now Death to False Metal?!... I'm sorry, but I've had enough. I will not spend another dollar on a Weezer album. Ever. I've been a fan since their beginnings, but I don't find their music worth my hard-earned money anymore...
So many complainers. Like s***. Get over it.
i think we can all agree that part of the hype behind weezer is that they have a whole collection of excellent songs that have gone either unreleased, or stashed on deluxe editions, for a variety of reasons. i can't tell if rivers has bought into the hype and is pushing to put this stuff out because he thinks people will love it, or if he's putting it out because he knows he's got a small but dedicated fanbase that will buy it no matter what.

SOURCE General Dynamics Electric Boat
GROTON, Conn., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Navy has awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat a $520 million contract modification to buy long lead-time material for four Virginia-class submarines, SSN-794, SSN-795, SSN-796 and SSN-797. Electric Boat is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD).
The contract provides funding for steam and electrical-plant components, main propulsion unit and ship-service turbine generator sets, as well as miscellaneous hull, mechanical and electrical-systems components to support construction of the submarines.
With this modification, the contract has a value of $1.2 billion. It was awarded initially in April 2012.
The contract continues to support the submarine industrial base in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia, Arizona, New York, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Illinois, Massachusetts, and other states throughout the U.S.
Recognized as a model defense-acquisition program for its technical excellence and schedule performance, the Virginia-class submarine program provides the Navy with the capabilities required to dominate both the open ocean and the littorals. In partnership with the Navy, Electric Boat is successfully pursuing its goal to reduce ship costs without decreasing capabilities through overall efficiency improvements, decreased ship-construction labor costs and shortened ship-construction cycle times.

The Magic forward talks about Orlando's loss.
NBA Commissioner David Stern should suspend San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich for a game and fine the Spurs heavily for the no-show stunt Pop pulled against the Miami Heat on Thursday night.
Popovich sent his three aging stars – Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili (plus Danny Green) – home to San Antonio to rest up for Saturday night's game against Memphis.
Popovich ripped off the customers who pay the usual high NBA ticket for a much-anticipated matchup; thumbed his nose at NBA partner TNT, which helps pay all the ridiculous salaries; and embarrassed a league that promotes its stars 24-7.
He treated it like it was a preseason game.
Because Pop said the Spurs were tired, dragging on this road trip.
Poor babies.
I'm sure there's 9-5 people everywhere who wanted to take off Thursday, too. Because, you know, they're pooped.
"Everybody has to make decisions about their schedule, about players playing and back-to-backs and trips and that sort of thing," Popovich said before the game. "In our case, this month we've had 11 away games, after tonight. We've had an eight-day trip and a 10-day trip, and we're ending it with four [games] in five nights here. I think it'd be unwise to be playing our guys in that kind of a situation, given their history."
Apparently, the Spurs' blow-out win over Orlando on Wednesday night took it all out of them. The Magic can do that to you now that they don't have Dwight Howard….oh, wait a second.
The Spurs made such short work of the Dwightless Magic that Ginobili played 23 minutes, Duncan 27 and Parker 29. Why, his 30-something stars were so exhausted they couldn't take the 30-minute plane ride to South Beach.
Pop made certain he got the victory in Orlando, then bailed out against the Heat, leaving the Spurs with an excuse.
I've read several opinions on the incident and most writers are, incredibly, backing Pop. They say it's his team, he can do whatever he wants, and he's given his stars nights off before because Pop's saving their legs for the postseason.
Yeah, and Stern should have addressed the no-show issue then.
Pop cannot do whatever he wants (unless he's commissioner.) A publisher once told me when I complained about an editing decision: Look, it might be your column, but it's my newspaper.
This isn't Pop's league, and he needs to keep the integrity bar high as possible. He couldn't parcel minutes against the Heat?
How can writers be so blind to the fans? Oh, yeah: We don't have to pay $80-$100 for a good seat.
I've heard arguments that, well, it's Pop's way of telling the league that the scheduling is too grueling. Uh, OK, coach, so you want to change league history? Do it in the offseason. Tell your owner you want him to lead the charge to shorten the 82-game season, with everyone taking paycuts.
Another argument: Some players take nights off while they are playing --- bored, unmotivated or distracted after a fight with one of their girfriends. Why doesn't Stern introduce "substantial sanctions" against them? Funny stuff, but the logic doesn't apply.
Another argument: Too bad, fans. You pay your money and take your chances. You never know who will or won't play because of injury, trades, suspensions, hangovers from the night before. That's a hollow argument, not when Duncan, Parker and Ginobili left Orlando after performing light duty. This was an intentional foul.
Stern immediately apologized to the fans, which he should have, and called Pop's decision "unacceptable." Popovich and the Spurs should apologize, too.
Next step Stern needs to make, in the best interest of the game, is to suspend Popovich, fine the Spurs and put all teams on notice.

Love Train by Selah (Audris Rozelle)
Love Train
I was in love with love
Before I knew what love meant
Quiet evenings spent listening
To my mother's twelve-inch vinyls
She used to listen to those records…
But it was me who listened then.
Dissecting the slow, steady beat that rocked my mind
Allowing the rhythm to manipulate my heart
I was in love with love songs from Minnie Ripperton to Phyllis Hyman
The needle glided from song to song, brief moments of silence in between
My ear pressed against the speaker, my body completely still
Making sure not to miss a lyric
Making sure that I understood the message
Of love. So I could imagine the passion so compelled
A love so tangible and a desire so intense.
Love songs speaking of vehement sexuality
And unadulterated sensuality, arousing my curiosity
To know, to know what could spark such…such feeling
Sometimes I'd wrote the lyrics to stain my mind
Praying that someone'd love me like that
Love me like a love song that plays so sweetly
In the mind. Love me like the warmth of Peabo's voice
And embraced me tight like Stevie.
Love me like Smokey, so smooth and nice
Love me under an orange moon or before a purple sunset
Listening to Teena Marie, "Say you love me, baby."
The more I listened, the more I yearned
The more I heard Jean Carne, the more sought to know
The love of which I had desperately fallen
Love songs I heard but it was love's power I felt
I knew that my heart would one day be entangled
In the web of emotions woven in and around love
But instead I encountered the pain and sorrow of love escaped
Of passion erased, and the hope deferred for the next love
Until I realized that love wasn't feeling like love…because of me
I interpreted love incorrectly, listening to only the sweet
And not realizing the work needed for love to be.
So I stepped away to heal my heart and correct the direction of my feet
Yet, I never gave up on love because I still loved love
Love like a Sunday morning glory and fresh like April dew
I'll find a love…equal to my love
To erase my doubts and growing disbelief
Or maybe that love will find me under Jehovah's glow
Find me patiently and with earnest ease
Kindly speak to me and enter my soul as I penetrate his
We can be like two spirits whirling with joy
And we will dance, dance, dance to a song, love song
A new love song that we would write
It would take me back to the day
Daddy singing "My Girl" and rubbing my knobby knees
Take me back to the time
When I first fell in love with a love song
When I fell in love with love before I knew what love meant.
Audris, Selah

I am so grateful to everyone who contributes
to the NACDL listserves in response to questions and calls for help. As a sole practitioner in a two person office it
makes a huge difference when I can get good advice, case authority, referrals
to experts and investigators and other assistance from this great resource.
I have a very busy trial calendar and getting quick
responses is not just helpful but essential. Yesterday my client was
sentenced in Federal Court for 1 count of Embezzlement by a Bank Employee and
was looking at 15-21 months. Thanks to the many responses to my query
regarding a departure for extraordinary restitution, she received a sentence of
time served (1 day) and home detention for 12 months. The focus of my
witness's testimony was in line with the case authority provided by those that
responded. During in camera meeting with the Judge it looked likely she
was going to receive prison time but the testimony changed things and that was
greatly due to assistance I received on the listserve. As a result, my client was able to go home to her 18 month old son. NACDL's listserves are a
marvelous resource and I am proud to occasionally contribute and deeply
thankful that I can take from it much more than I contribute.

Is the U.S. Supreme Court's doomsday clock ticking for racial preferences? Maybe, but states that already ban race-based admissions show how you can build diversity by other means.
First, let's define terms. As with the abortion debate and other moral disputes, you can tell a lot about where somebody stands on racial preferences by which words he or she uses. What supporters call "affirmative action," critics often call "preferences."
But there is a difference. Affirmative action covers a broad range of proactive measures to promote diversity and equal opportunity through fair selection and outreach. Preferences tends to mean the allocation of opportunities based, at least partly, on race or ethnicity.
With that in mind, the Supreme Court's latest affirmative action case, Fisher v. the University of Texas, boils down to this: Can we have effective affirmative action without preferences?
Plaintiff Abigail Noel Fisher claims she was denied undergraduate admission to the university in 2008 because she is white. The university argues that its admissions system since 2005 has been based mainly on class rank.
That policy, known as the state's "Top 10 Percent Law," guarantees automatic admission to Texas public universities for in-state students who graduate in the top 10 percent of their high school class.
The idea, which other states use, has broad appeal. Because our society is so unfortunately segregated by ethnicity and class, the Top 10 Percent Law encourages racial and economic diversity without putting racial quotas in anyone's face.
But the University of Texas, like many others across the nation, argues that race-neutral policies by themselves do not ensure enough racial and ethnic diversity. So the university added a "holistic review" to consider a broad array of factors that include race — along with academic record, personal essays, extracurricular activities, honors and awards and other special circumstances.
Is even a little racial consideration too much? We'll see. In the past, the high court has ruled that race can be considered as one factor among others, but later courts have steadily narrowed how much race can be considered. This time, advocates fear, the Supremes may do away with racial considerations altogether.
Yet we still could have affirmative action without preferences, according to a new report by the Century Foundation, a nonpartisan think tank. The report, "A Better Affirmative Action," describes how seven states, with more than a fourth of the nation's high school students, have abandoned racial and ethnic preferences in state universities without giving up their pursuit of diversity.
Instead, the report concludes the "end of racial preferences" often leads to "a better affirmative action" like the Texas' plan that addresses "the less visible, but more powerful, issue of class inequality."
And, even if the high court were to sweep away all racial considerations, as California's Proposition 209 did in 1996, it actually could be good news for diversity and for minority students, according to a new book by UCLA law professor Richard Sander and Stuart Taylor Jr., a lawyer, journalist and fellow at Brookings Institution.The book's title summarizes their argument: "Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won't Admit It."
"Mismatch" describes racial preferences that with the best of intentions unfortunately put minority students into competition with far better prepared classmates. This too often caused students to fail whereas they would have succeeded and graduated in a less competitive, less elite college or university.
Yet, despite initial post-Proposition 209 gloom over a drop in minority enrollment at California's most prestigious universities, the University of California at Berkeley and UCLA, the schools soon saw a surprising surge in top-performing minority applicants, many of whom applied without identifying their race or ethnicity as anything but "none of the above." Many top-performing minority students were actually attracted by the fact that the state's schools were no longer taking race into account. Overall, the University of California system saw gains in black and Hispanic enrollment and graduation rates that outpaced other groups.
As a longtime defender of affirmative action, I used to think the so-called mismatch problem was an overhyped myth. But Sander and Taylor make a convincing case and, more important, good recommendations to keep affirmative action alive — without preferences.

"For his size, pound for pound, I don't know if there's a tougher guy on our team," Tide coach Nick Saban said. "I respect great competitors. I love competitors. That guy's a great competitor in my mind no matter how much he plays, wherever he plays. That's how he competes."
Hart, who is from Orlando, Fla., arrived at Alabama as a five-star recruit, according to Rivals.com. He was apart of the 2011 class that produced HaHa Clinton-Dix (high school teammates) and Cyrus Kouandjio. But a torn knee ligament that spring forced him to redshirt.
He came back in 2012 and played in five games, finding time in the backfield and on special teams. In those five games, Hart carried the ball 21 times for 88 yards and caught two passes for 18 yards. He registered two tackles on kickoff coverage, forced a fumble and returned four punts for 50 yards.
But it came to an end, as a second torn knee ligament in the Ole Miss game sidelined Hart for the rest of the season.
Hart, a redshirt sophomore, has been working at the No. 2 running back spot behind T.J. Yeldon. He will also see time on special teams, particularly returning punts.
"He's doing pretty good," running back T.J. Yeldon said earlier this month. "He's back to running like he did last year before he got hurt. His knee hasn't been bothering him, so he's doing pretty good."
At 5-foot-9, 187 pounds, Hart won't intimidate players with his size. But they always remember him after attempting to bring him down.
Cornerback Deion Belue hasn't had many run ins with Hart on the field. Belue said Hart isn't afraid to collide with some of the Tide's bigger defensive players.
"Dee Hart, man, he's the toughest player I know on the team," Belue said. "He backs down from nobody. It doesn't matter if it's Ed Stinson or Adrian Hubbard, he's going to get in there and set it off in there with them and give it everything he's got."
Center Ryan Kelly said he respects Hart for continuing to play after his two injuries. Kelly had a serious knee injury in high school, but said it would be hard to come back from two.
"Obviously, he's not a big back, but he hits harder than anyone on the team," Kelly said. "He doesn't care if you're 6-foot-4, 300 pounds, he'll come up and pop you."
For Saban, Hart is the model for consistency and hard work.
"If we had everybody on our team that was as competitive as Dee Hart," Saban said, "we wouldn't be too much worried about complacency or being selfish or accountability or any of that stuff that we talk about and worry about all the time because we have success. The guy's willing to do anything you ask him to do."

Goodbye, Wauwatosa!
Absence makes the heart grow fonder – probably one of the most clichéd phrases out there, but like most clichés, it is extremely true. This summer I've spent almost as much time out of state as I have at home, and even though I loved all of the exciting trips I took, they have also shed light on a scary truth: now that I've just moved to Washington D.C. (on Friday!) I'm really, really going to miss Milwaukee.
Thursday Morning Music
Nice guitar riffs and a cool 1973 intro...
The Magic Curb
Just this past Monday some buddies and I were grilling and tipping a few brewskis and we got to talking about our experiences with the Magic Curb.
Huh? Magic Curb?
Presidential interference with the schools?
The start of the school year is always filled with anticipation and dread.
The good stuff: new notebooks and crayons, seeing friends you missed during the summer that, even you had to admit, had gone on a couple weeks too long. That first day of school outfit, carefully selected: you hoped it would establish you as eligible for greater popularity than you had last year.
One of the things I dreaded was the 600 yard run. Back in the day, one of the first things we did in physical education classes--after we'd hand-embroidered our names on our grotesque gym suits--was complete testing for The President's Council on Physical Fitness.
Just about every kid in the nation did it. It wasn't considered unusual for the President to ask kids and parents to do things for the president, the nation, and themselves. It was assumed we knew we were supposed to get smart. But President Kennedy stepped in to remind us that our job also was to get fit. Even back in the 1960s, Americans were less active than our European (and worse still, our Soviet) counterparts.
The test we took involved 50-yard dashes, shuttle runs, sit-ups, pull-ups, and push-ups. I did great on the sprint events and the sit-ups. But I always failed the pull-ups and push-ups. Most girls did.
When it came to the 600 yard run, though, I'd usually pass out. Or worse, throw up. Neither of those things was cool, but either was better than coming in last. Which I did, now and then.
Having the test in the first weeks of school seemed a poor idea. Except for the kids who always excelled, most of us weren't prepared. I now know that I did so badly partly because I had undiagnosed asthma. And I now suspect that the test was done early so that teachers could demonstrate great improvement by the end of the year. You can't blame them for that.
The Council underwent a number of name changes, but since its inception during the Eisenhower years, it's played a role in our national agendas. I still have a stack of President's fitness commendations my kids got at Underwood School not many years ago.
Maybe the best thing about being an older parent is having a sense of history, a longer perspective, and the willingness to think for yourself instead of letting your anxiety be pumped by the media. If you're one of the parents who's overwrought about the notion that the President of the United States would want to encourage kids to do well in school, you might want to do your own homework.
In his speech to school children next Tuesday, is President Obama going to try to manipulate students into developing pride in education ? You betcha. Will it make him look good if he succeeds? Who cares, as long as our children benefit?
The children in the Elmbrook school district are being "protected" from this speech. I hope ours get to hear it and talk about it with their parents, friends, and teachers.
The idea of sound minds in strong bodies has always been understood as desirable, and leaders have always called for us to do better.
It's called patriotism.
It's also a darn good idea.
Nice Move Dr Ertl Nice Move
Wauwatosa Schools will not be showing President Obama's political speech to school students live. Dr Ertl - Thank you and I agree 1000%.
Teachers will watch it later and decide if they want to include it as part of their classroom activities.
Journey to my next Smart Phone
I need to replace my Blackberry Curve (8810). I'm going to do it in January. So my journey to the my next smart phone begins with the post.
My two year AT&T contract ends in January so I'll have the opportunity to buy a new phone for a discounted price with yet another 2 year contract. The real driving reason is that my current Blackberry has been dropped too many times. The latex protective skin not only protects it from future damage, it also literally keeps the thing together. The end result is that it reminds me of Arnold Schwaznegger in the original terminator when his face was half-off and exposing the machinery and circuitry that is underneath the surface. Otherwise, my Blackberry has served me well over the last 20 months.
The Choices
I categorize my options like this (no particular order):
1. new model Blackberry
2. Palm Pre
3. iPhone
4. Other (e.g. Google Android, a high-end Nokia phone, or a Windows Mobile-based phone, or something else).
The Requirements
My requirements fall into three major categories:
1. Functionality
- Must be able to access the Web at 3G speeds or greater
- Must support all traditional Personal Information Management (PIM) functionality like:
- Calendar
- Addressbook
- Tasks
- Notes
- Must support Multimedia:
- 2.0mpx camera or better WITH a FLASH!
- ability to play video files and videos from YouTube (or other online video streams)
- MP3 player
- Voice Recording

Did you know that the People's Republic of China is the world's largest producer of cabbage?
Yep. 36,335,000 tons of the stuff in 2008.
Silly season: the over-reaction epidemic
Forget H1N1: worry about the over-reaction epidemic.
The town of Glenrock, Wyoming, is smaller than the town my grandfather lived in. But when I visited Canton, South Dakota, as a college student, everyone knew that they didn't know me.
"Who's this young lady, Otto?" the clerk asked. "She's my granddaughter," he said, his eyes twinkling. The woman looked a little nonplussed. "Didn't know Dort had kids that old," she said.
"Naw. Not Dort's. I done it twice, you know," he said, taking my arm and the groceries. Before dinner, everyone in town knew my grandfather had been married more than once, and the proof of the pudding was in his living room. The community alert system was activated, and a contingent of the more boldly curious among them knocked at the door. They wanted to take a peek.
I bring this up because as much as times may have changed, it's hard to believe that the Glenrock police officers who tasered 76-year-old Bud Grose didn't know him pretty well when he and a 9-year-old neighbor took his 1959 John Deer tractor on a little detour during the annual Deer Creek Days parade.
It's hard to believe that two young police officers would think they'd need to escalate to using shock weapons to subdue an old man and a little boy, both members of the community.
You'd think that when they couldn't get the pair to change course, they'd figure out the situation might lead to a little traffic confusion and head off to make the best of it. And then scold Bud over the pulled pork and coleslaw later. Maybe write a little ticket, come to that. Or talk to his kids to make sure something wasn't going on with Mr. Grose.
That's how things work when people know each other and have a little common sense.
It's not so hard to believe that Mr. Grose or the boy who was driving might have more than tapped the police SUV that got in their way. Okay: let's say they might have rammed it, as the police say they did. Though I can't imagine my grandfather doing that with his favorite tractor. Still, you never know what's going to happen when folks get their testosterone up.
That's not right either, though you can imagine how satisfying it might be in a frustrated Towanda! sort of way. In my book, damage to vehicles is not as bad as damage to human beings.
Does it seem like people have lost their ability to distinguish what's a little bad from what's a lot bad? What's worth being watchful about and what demands bringing out the tasers or crowds with burning torches?
I'm thinking about the "silly season" response to President Obama's speech to school children. One BrookfieldNow commenter said:
Lost & Found
Most young children have one: it is often a blanket, a little pillow or a stuffed animal. There are a number of terms for these treasured friends: comfort object, transitional object, security object, security blanket and blankie are the most common, even when it isn't a blanket.
Charles M. Schulz's Linus van Pelt in the popular Peanuts comic strip, Kevin Henkes' Owen in a book of the same name, Marc Brown's D.W. in the Arthur series and Paulette Bourgeois' Franklin from Franklin's Blanket are popular characters who love and carry security blankets. Mo Willems wrote two charming picture books about the mayhem that ensues when a little girl loses her "knuffle bunny" in Knuffle Bunny, A Cautionary Tale and Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity.
When a "security blanket" is lost, the family, often frantic, will spend a serious amount of time trying to find it. Not so with everyday items such as coats, sweaters, hats, boots, shoes, toys and school supplies. Every three to four months, a librarian from the Children's Department has to remove items from the "Lost & Found" bin that have been left in the library for longer than four months. The same happens in the Circulation Department. If possible, library staff will attempt to identify and contact the owner of an item. Since that isn't always possible, if you think you have lost something in the library, give us a call, we would be happy to help you try to find it.

Living la Vida Local
I love the whole "live local" movement that's happening throughout the country and, in particular, in our little City of Wauwatosa. The Village BID, for example, has rolled out a Live Local program encouraging folks to eat, shop, work and play in the village in order to create jobs and promote community development. (To find out how to get a Live Local membership card with discount privileges, go to VillageofWauwatosa.com.)
Buying local is so easy to do, when you have great retail shops and restaurants within walking distance. Being a locavore – or eating locally grown foods – has been a bit more of a challenge. For one thing, in our house we love bananas and shellfish, not exactly products of the Midwest. Secondly, we've been missing our local farmers market, which didn't survive numerous moves.
Say WHO? Said WHAT?
The email from a dog park friend starts like this:
One of Bob Oster's CEO friends wrote this. Bob respects him highly. . .
I have no idea who Bob Oster is. But with the title "My 6 month evaluation of the Obama presidency," I know what to expect. It's a scary negative performance review, with a long list of failures, disapointments, and worse.
I'll only share one:
21. Failing to support the freedom-loving citizens in Honduras and Iran (and instead, giving comfort to their dictators) to say nothing of his ineffectiveness with North Korea and anti-Israeli pronouncements.
If anything makes me crazy, it's written information people circulate without attributing the writer. It took about 30 seconds to find the name of this "anonymous" author: Jimmy V. Adams.
Adams is a principal in L3 Communications. If you didn't know he was a retired 4-star general, you might think that's a public relations firm. Knowing that, you're not surprised to find out that it's a defense contractor, supplying command, control, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Not just any contractor: with 66,000 employees, it's the 6th largest defense contractor in the US, with revenues in the range of $15 billion last year.
As the company's annual report states, rather dryly, "The defense industry has been a steady performer through all economic climates." Like any publicly traded company, its goal is growth. I don't much like to think about what steady growth in the defense industry means, but there you go.
Anyway, I'd never heard of L3 Communications. Though I have heard of Lehman Brothers, the third L in the name, and some of the companies L3 has swallowed whole or in part: Lockheed, Martin Marietta, Titan, and a chunk of Raytheon. Having a name that's not especially memorable helps when you get sued for letting your employees abuse prisoners at Abu Gharaib. Nobody makes the connection.
When you start peeling these onions, one layer leads to the next. I could go on and on and on. But this time I'll spare you.
The point is, check the source of your information. What somebody's smart friend thinks might be a little colored by his circumstances. You may agree with Jimmy V, but you should know who he is and why he might be saying what he's saying.
Reaping What We Sow
The President spoke to the children yesterday.
Did you notice that the end of times didn't suddenly materialize. I checked and saw no little school children walking about like miniature zombies.
Melanie Oudin and How Tennis Saved My Life
Seems like the whole world has fallen in love with 17-year old tennis sensation Melanie Oudin. Me too. She's so gosh-darn cute and has that refreshing "gee whiz" quality that is sorely lacking in most of today's teenagers. Even my mom, who NEVER watches tennis, mentioned to me her admiration of Oudin. That's my barometer of whether somebody's hit the big time – if mom has heard of them.

Schooling Amanda: who decides?
I'm feeling a little sorry for Wauwatosa school superintendent Phil Ertl. In deciding to forbid real-time viewing of a presidential speech, he's opened the door further for groups of parents with special interests to approve or censor curricula. And that can be a real headache.
Imagine trying to get consensus about anything except, maybe, math. Not enough of us understand that well enough to have political opinions about which math facts are dangerous.
Who should determine what's the right educational content for kids? What's the proper political stance for school? Who decides? Parents or the government?
It's a trick question, because parents are the government. We elect officials democratically, including school boards, and in order to have a well-functioning society, we agree to go along with the rule of the majority and the law.
Which raises the question whether the employee Ertl or the elected school board should have made that decision. But I digress.
Check yourself before you wreck yourself
Ever ego surf? The term stems from an ego-centric viewpoint of searching for yourself online (literally). In today's digital and virtual world the need to do it is above and beyond ego. You definitely want to be aware of somebody publishing something about you online, especially if can be harmful to yourself, your family, your company, etc. You also want to be aware of anything that you may have put out there that you didn't think everybody could see.
Go ahead. Google yourself. Anything surprising in the search results?
Publishing on the internet transcends space and time. Just about anyone, from any where, can write something about you at any time. It is next to impossible to keep on top of it all.
Along comes Google Alerts! http://alerts.google.com
All you need is a gmail account. You can setup automated searches that search for your name and it emails the links to you. So, within a couple hours of my posting this blog entry, Google will find my name and send an email to me with a link to this posting.
Beyond ego surfing, I find Alerts useful for searching for many things I am particularly interested in. I setup alerts for:
- every person in my family
- the most common variants of mispelling my name
- case studies on specific technology topics I am interested in
- anything that mentions company names that I am interested in (particularly my own)
Today I read about the Whitewater Technology Park grant. I just setup an alert with those exact words so that I can passively follow any other news about it.
Late Night Blog Post
Just returned from the Packer's season opener against the Bears.
Wasn't that game a nail-biter? Holy cow - if this is what the Central Division is shaping-up to be it's going to be a bruising season.
Madcap Cooking and a Recipe
The ancestral apple trees on the farm are producing a bumper crop of fruit this year. The result of which is that I've been putting-up apple products for the winter. For starters there was a giant batch of pie filling. There is apple butter too.
This past weekend I got to thinking - Tom, you need to put-up a bunch of applesauce. There is nothing better than a pleasingly tart applesauce served with potato pancakes. Or better yet - as a side to a pork tenderloin stuffed with that wonderful cherry and raisin stuffing.

"I just love Tiny Prints...and ordering this year's Christmas card again reminded me why! this card is beautiful....it was a bit smaller than I originally thought....but looks fantastic! very professional! thank you tiny prints!"
"I loved everything about this card except for the font I chose for the back of the card. It was so tiny you could barely read it. I went with the bracket cutout which looks great on this card."
"This is the second year I've used TinyPrints for my Christmas cards. Once again, they are absolutely gorgeous! I will continue to use TinyPrints. Their designs are sophisticated and on trend, plus the choices and variations for each card design are sure to fit anyone's taste. The cards came quickly and didn't disappoint!"
"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"William Arthur again delivers a timeless classic card. Simple, elegant, and perfection. We are thrilled Tiny Print offers William Arthur products. We used a different design last year as well. While expensive, you get entirely what you pay for."


text:
"The Holiday Script card is simply perfect. I love the versatility of being able to add 5 photos in the collage. It's always important for me to include the date and "Merry Christmas." Love the diagonal stripes on the back in red!"
"First of all this care says "Merry Christmas." Secondly it has room for our pictures. I used the green card as it made a better background color for our photos. It was perfect!"
"This card is beautiful. I got the pale pink and it is a beautiful shade of soft pink. The design is just enough so that your photo(s) is the star of the card. The paper quality and size are great. I have ordered many products from Tiny Prints and have yet to be disappointed! The only problem is sometimes it is hard to choose from so many beautiful designs!"
"I wanted a New Year's card with multiple photo spaces. This card was perfect, in that it had one horizontal spot for a group photo and squarer spots for individual pictures. The deciding factor was being able to put photos with captions on the back as well. I found cheaper cards on other sites, but they either didn't have New Year's cards, or a good layout, or good reviews. TinyPrints reviews often said that the quality was better than expected, and I agree. After placing the order, I realized I hadn't ordered enough and left a phone message. They called back as soon as they opened the next day, amended my order with no problem, and still had my rush delivery to me in 2 days--even with the free design review. I'm a customer for life! A+ product and service!"
"i received sooooo many compliments on this year's christmas card. it was a success on many levels. a little pricey, as tinyprints usually is. but they are always well received."

ACC recruiting storylines: Oct. 10
October, 10, 2013
By Corey Dowlar | ESPN.com
As the ACC awaits arguably the biggest conference game of the season next week, there is still work to be done now.
Virginia Tech and Wake Forest are moving to land targets, while Miami is trying to enter the race for another player.
Florida State afforded extra recruiting time
Before its big game against Clemson, Florida State has the luxury of a bye week. In addition to game preparations, a little extra time, but not too much, can be devoted to recruiting.

DobberBaseball's Fantasy Guide is out, you can pick it up here.
Mike Comrie, who recently underwent hip surgery for the third time in two years, has announced his retirement.
In a minor deal, the Jets have traded Riley Holzapfel to the Ducks for Maxime Macenaur.
Pierre-Marc Bouchard is still suffering from the effects of another concussion. In the one league that I had him in, I gave him away as a throw-in because dropping the points from my (rebuilding) roster and sinking for a better draft pick was more important to me than his future value. We're all pulling for PMB to get better - concussions are taking too many good players out of the mix.
Today's Studs and Duds can be found here. Yesterday's here.
John Carlson's slump appears to be over. After just two points in 17 games he has three in his last three.
Plus/minus stud Ryan McDonagh is proving to be a bit of a surprise offensively. He could finish the year with nine goals and 30 points, which would beat my expectation of him for this year by half. His fifth goal of the season Sunday puts him four ahead of Scott Gomez, the man he was traded for. He's gonna have 120 shots by the end of the season, too.
Alex Ovechkin has 22 shots in his last four games, which is the Ovy we know.
Troy Brouwer, who has been Ovechkin's linemate for the last few games, is pointless in his last six. This is a golden opportunity for him and he's not taking advantage. Not sure how long the coach will continue to give him this chance.
I had been preaching patience with Tomas Fleischmann, who had been in a horrific slump. The reason for the patience, as we see now, is that he goes through this all the time. Very lengthy hot streaks and equally long slumps. Like a more extreme Kristian Huselius. Flash has eight points in his last eight games. In one of my keepers, a guy traded Fleischmann and Justin Williams last week and acquired Matt Moulson. Talk about buying high and selling low – not that grabbing Moulson could ever be a bad thing. But had he waited a week he may have got Moulson for Fleischmann and a draft pick instead of the extra player. Panic move, but I'm sure there were thousands of similar ones when it comes to Fleischmann. Try and remember – he's making a trillion dollars a year, so he'll always get 19 minutes of ice time and first PP billing no matter what. Pointless in 20? Doesn't matter, he'll still get the prime linemates and prime time.
The showcasing of Evgeni Nabokov ended early Sunday, as he got the hook after giving up four goals on 11 shots.
Marcel Goc has 13 points in the last 16 games that he played.
So what do you think of our new "newsfeed"? We're not out to break any news, or even break it down. But I thought it would be a great way to gather the information so you can quickly reference it if you were away for a couple of days. Or perhaps you want to research a player two years from now – how handy would it be to quickly see everything that happened to that player over the past two years (you can filter by player). I have put a quick link to this feed, and other great free features, up top if you hover over the "Free Features" in the menu.
In last Thursday's column, I took a look at how scoring is down in the NHL and how you should change your thinking. Still a relevant read if you want to take a look.
Brenden Morrow is out for at least two more weeks and Steve Ott owners couldn't be happier. Ott has six points in his last seven games and always sees a production jump when Morrow is hurt.
While Kevin Shattenkirk continues to struggle, Alex Pietrangelo is flying. In his last 17 games he has 18 points thanks to three Sunday.
After a drought that saw him manage just three points in 10 games and had some question his value in fantasy hockey, Loui Eriksson has three points in two games.
Alex Goligoski has 14 points in his last 15 games.
After getting the monkey off his back Saturday with his first goal of the season, Andrei Loktionov followed up with another one yesterday. He's become an interesting fantasy option now that his confidence is back.
He's no Sam Gagner, but Evgeni Malkin has seven points in his last two games. Actually, he fired a shot at the empty net Sunday with two seconds left, from the blue line, but hit the post. Missed the hat trick by that much. Chris Kunitz also has seven points in two games, Kris Letang has six.
I like the threat that Cal O'Reilly brings to Pittsburgh's third line, but that can only go on for so long before he needs to start producing. He's looked good offensively with Dustin Jeffrey and Steve Sullivan, but has just one point to show for it in his last five games. They were on the ice for three tough goals Saturday, but I blame the coach for constantly putting out the Engelland pairing with that line. You put your weakest D pairing with your strongest forwards, in my opinion. Anyway, O'Reilly's ice time was down to 9:48 as we slowly watch that fade to five minutes…and then press box. The only thing that can stop it is, you guessed it, a goal/assist.
Lubomir Visnovsky was kicked out of the game last night, allowing Bobby Ryan to see a lot of PP action. He scored on the power play, and then assisted on another power play goal. Did that catch the attention of Bruce Boudreau?
James Wisniewski has been back for two games for the Jackets now and has three points (and plus-2) to show for it.
Linus Omark (ankle) returned to AHL action on the weekend for the first time in three months. He had two points in the game.
The Sabres have sent Luke Adam down and have recalled Zack Kassian. Adam was pointless in his last 20.
Here's a Nicklas Backstrom interview. Basically, he's not ready to skate yet but is making progress.
Jimmy Howard is targeting Friday for a return to game action.
After going pointless in 11 games, Mike Knuble has been scratched for the last two.
Andy McDonald played 16 minutes in his return to action and picked up an assist. He saw a ton of PP time, but there was plenty of PP time to go around. I'll wait and see what the distribution of PP time will be like when the team only has a couple of power plays.
Here is the Visnovsky incident that led to his getting kicked out – fight with Brassard, jersey not tied down. Why would he tie it down? His first career fight!
Maximus said:
i must say though, your analysis of Engelland is a little off as he has been one of the most consistent Dmen for the pens this year. Last year, he was there to fight (making a name for himself) and play some stay at home D but this year he has been rushing the puck more, his decision making has gotten a lot better and during the Letang suspension/Orpik injury at the beginning of the year(along with all of the other injuries to the D), Engelland was the one to step up. Sure Niskanen got the points but Engelland played great as well.
The real problem with their D is Paul Martin. He has been an absolute bust and Depres (and even Joe Morrow in the preseason) has shown more poise and better ice-vision than Martin. That guy is a HUGE waste of money. He was supposed to be #2 after Letang in terms of making offense happen but when Letang went down, it was the 'throw in' in the Goligoski-Neal deal, that stepped up and made things happen.
