Jon Daniels, Rangers general manager:
"Disappointing finish, I think is a pretty clear way to put it."
"It's on all of us."
"We want to turn this four-year run into a 10-year run, into a 15-year run, into a 20-year run and create that standard long term."
"I think we have to prepare the club for the possibility that [Josh Hamilton] is not back, but we haven't closed any doors."
"We're not going to make a pre-emptive proposal at this point, that's effectively what we've decided, internally agreed on with Josh and his representative back in the spring… and if you put yourself in his shoes and you've gotten this far, you're going to test the market -- you're going to find out what's out there, and I think that's understandable."
"This isn't a rebuild scenario, but we're always looking to get better."
On Manager Ron Washington: "It's not him… it's on a lot of us… We had a very good year, we had a bad finish."
"Overall, I'm very pleased with the job Wash did and will continue to do as our manager."
Nolan Ryan, Rangers president:
"Josh [Hamilton] would have liked to finish stronger and we would have liked to see him finish stronger, but will it impact our position as far as going forward? No, I don't think so."
"[The owners] have been very supportive of trying to put as competitive team on the field as they possibly can, do I look for that to change? No, I don't."
Ron Washington, Rangers manager:
"I don't think there was anyone in my clubhouse that wasn't hungry… we just didn't play as well as we were capable down the stretch."
"Maybe I played 'em into the ground."

Bartenders mix and serve drinks to customers directly or through wait staff. Bartenders work in restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels, and other food service establishments. During busy hours, they are under pressure to serve customers quickly and efficiently. About half of all bartenders work full time, and they often must work late evenings, weekends, and holidays.
Bartenders fill drink orders either directly from patrons at the bar or through waiters and waitresses who place drink orders for dining room customers. They must know a wide range of drink recipes and be able to mix drinks accurately, quickly, and without waste. Bartenders typically do the following:
Some establishments, especially busy establishments with many customers, use equipment that automatically measures, pours, and mixes drinks at the push of a button. Bartenders who use this equipment, however, still must work quickly to handle a large quantity of drink orders and be familiar with the ingredients for special drink requests. In some establishments they also may use carbonated beverage dispensers, cocktail shakers or accessories, commercial strainers, mist or trigger sprayers, and ice shaver machines.
In addition to mixing and serving drinks, bartenders stock and prepare garnishes for drinks and maintain an adequate supply of ice, glasses, and other bar supplies. They also may wash glassware and utensils, and serve food to customers who eat at the bar. They are usually responsible for ordering and maintaining an inventory of liquor, mixers, and other bar supplies.
Would you make a good bartender? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Many bartenders are promoted from other jobs at the food service establishments in which they work and receive short-term on-the-job training. However, those who wish to work at more upscale establishments usually need previous work experience or vocational training. Although most jurisdictions require workers who serve alcoholic beverages to be at least 18 years old, many employers prefer to hire people who are 25 or older. There are no specific education requirements. Most bartenders receive short-term on-the-job training, usually lasting a few weeks, under the guidance of a more experienced bartender. Training programs focus on basic customer service, teamwork, and food safety procedures. Programs also provide an opportunity to discuss proper ways to handle unruly customers and unpleasant situations.
Some employers teach new workers using self-study programs, online programs, audiovisual presentations, or instructional booklets that explain service skills. Such programs communicate the philosophy of the establishment, help new bartenders build personal rapports with other staff, and instill a desire to work as a team.
Some bartenders qualify through work-related experience. They may start as bartender helpers and progress into full-fledged bartenders as they learn basic mixing procedures and recipes. New workers often learn by working with a more experienced bartender.
Some bartenders acquire their skills through formal training, either by attending a school for bartending or a vocational and technical school with bartending classes. These programs often include instruction on local laws and regulations, cocktail recipes, proper attire and conduct, and stocking a bar. The lengths of programs vary, but most courses last a few weeks. Some schools help their graduates find jobs. Advancement for bartenders is usually limited to finding a job in a busier or more expensive restaurant or bar where prospects of earning tips are better. Some bartenders advance to supervisory jobs, such as dining room supervisor, maitre d', assistant manager, or restaurant general manager. A few bartenders open their own bar.
Because establishments that serve alcohol rely on retaining old and attracting new customers, bartenders should have good customer service skills to ensure repeat business. Because of the legal issues that come with serving alcohol, bartenders must make good decisions at all times. For example, they should be able to detect intoxicated customers and deny service to those customers. They also should be friendly, tactful, and attentive when dealing with customers. For example, they should be able to tell a joke and laugh with a customer to build rapport. Bartenders work on their feet for long periods of time. Many lift heavy cases of liquor, beer, or other bar supplies. They often fill drink orders for waiters and waitresses who are serving dining room customers. As a result, bartenders must work well with their colleagues to ensure that customers receive prompt service.
Bartenders work in restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels, and other food service establishments.

Use the International Space Station for fundamental biological and physical research
"Will use the ISS for fundamental biological and physical research to understand the effects of long-term space travel on human health and to test emerging technologies to enable such travel."
Newly launched space station crew members to continue scientific research
Updated: Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 | By Louis Jacobson
During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to use the International Space Station "for fundamental biological and physical research to understand the effects of long-term space travel on human health and to test emerging technologies to enable such travel."
Such work has been under way since 2000 and is continuing. A crew with members from the United States, Russia and Canada began a mission to the space station on Sept. 30, 2009, on a Soyuz rocket launched from Kazakhstan. In orbit, ISS crew members will work on many of the 98 experiments that are currently being conducted on the space station. Of these, some address fundamental biological and physical questions. The total number of experiments is set to rise to 140 by the following mission.
A NASA report released on Sept. 10, 2009, detailed the scientific experiments already undertaken on the space station between 2000 and 2008. They addressed such topics as germs in spaceflight and materials able to withstand the harsh environment of space.
The ongoing experiments substantially fulfill Obama's promise, but it's also clear the Obama administration is taking steps to expand the space station work. Such efforts received support in a 12-page summary of findings that was released on Sept. 8, 2009, by the U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee. The panel is more commonly known as the Augustine Committee after its chairman, Norman Augustine, the former CEO of Lockheed Martin. In the document, the blue-ribbon panel — which is advising the White House and NASA on the future of the space program — reaffirmed its support for the space station and for its scientific projects.
"The committee finds that the return on investment of (the International Space Station) to both the United States and the international partners would be significantly enhanced by an extension of ISS life to 2020," the summary said. "It seems unwise to de-orbit the station after 25 years of assembly and only five years of operational life. Not to extend its operation would significantly impair U.S. ability to develop and lead future international space flight partnerships. Further, the ISS should be funded to enable it to achieve its full potential: as the nation's newest national laboratory, as an enhanced test bed for technologies and operational techniques that support exploration, and as a framework that can support expanded international collaboration."
Keeping this promise wasn't very hard for Obama, since his wording was very broad and fundamental scientific experiments were under way on the space station for nine years before he even took the oath of office. But Obama has continued the program, and the Augustine panel's summary clearly supports continued operations for the space station and backing for its scientific mission. For this reason, we rate this a Promise Kept.

The Dodgers look for their fifth straight win on Friday night but to do so they will have to buck a disturbing trend. Despite the relative strengths of the Dodgers and Seattle Mariners, the fact remains that this weekend will be played at Safeco Field, which happens to be an American League ballpark.
Which has meant hell for the Dodgers, in recent years.
The Dodgers lost all three of their interleague series on the road last season, and lost both interleague series on the road in 2010. In fact, the Dodgers have lost each of their last six series in American League stadiums, and they have dropped 16 of their last 19 interleague series on the road.
Dating back to 2005, the Dodgers are 14-43 (.246) in interleague road games. It hasn't been just the Angels delivering the beatings, either. The Dodgers are 6-15 (.286) since 2005 in Anaheim, but 8-28 (.222) in other AL parks.
During that same span, the Dodgers are 25-29 (.463) against American League parks at home.
But maybe the Dodgers will get that fifth straight win on Friday night. Last season, the Dodgers won the series opener in Chicago, in Minnesota, and in Anaheim. But in each case, they proceeded to lose the final two games of the series.
This is the Dodgers' first trip to Seattle since July 7-9, 2000. In their last game at Safeco Field, a 2-0 loss to the Mariners, the winning pitcher was then 37-year old Jamie Moyer, who was making his 305th career start in the series finale. Moyer has started 333 games since.
Select Company
What do Chad Kreuter, Mike Kinkade, Olmedo Saenz, Luis Gonzalez, Russell Martin, Manny Ramirez, and Matt Kemp have in common? Aside from never being in Cliff Clavin's kitchen, this septet of players are the Dodgers to hit a home run as a designated hitter, in their 121 total games in American League parks since interleague play began in 1997.
The seven home runs by Dodgers designated hitters are the fewest in the National League during interleague play. The Expos/Nationals are next to last with nine home runs, while the New York Mets have the most DH home runs, with 25.
The greatest designated hitter of all-time, Edgar Martinez, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Friday's game.
Tonight's Pitching Matchup
Nathan Eovaldi makes his third start of the season Friday night, looking for his first win. He has allowed five total runs in his two starts but the Dodgers have scored three runs, and the result has been a pair of one-run losses for Eovaldi.
Kevin Millwood ended his May by allowing two runs in 27 innings over his last four starts, but he allowed four runs and 13 baserunners in four innings in a loss last Sunday to the Chicago White Sox. Millwood allowed at least five runs in each of his first three home starts but in his last Safeco Field outing, on May 23, he pitched six scoreless innings. The result is a 7.08 ERA in four home starts, with nine walks and nine strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings.
Rumor Mill
The Dodgers are among the "most aggressive" teams in pursuit of 20-year old power packed Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler, per Buster Olney of ESPN. The Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, and Atlanta Braves are also highly interested per Olney, who says the next round of bids are due this weekend.

Indianapolis, In. - Gregg Williams was the face of the bounty scandal but now, the former defensive coordinator has a new job as senior assistant coach of the Tennessee Titans and his new bosses are happy to bring their old friend aboard, despite his recent struggles.
"I felt that he deserved a second chance," Titans head coach Mike Munchak said Thursday at the NFL Combine. "The league felt and I felt that he took responsibility for the things that happened and the things he was involved in and I don't see anything like that ever happening again."
"Gregg is going to add a lot of knowledge and experience to our defensive staff and help us," general manager Ruston Webster said.
Webster did admit, however, that there was some concern in bringing back a coach that was suspended the entire 2012 season for orchestrating a bounty program with the Saints.
"There was hesitation in that we had to do our research and we had to do our background work. Fortunately, [Williams] having spent so much time in Tennessee, we had a lot of people that knew him well and felt comfortable bringing him in."
Williams spent 11 seasons with the Titans and Houston Oilers organization. As defensive coordinator, he helped lead them to their lone Super Bowl appearance.

Jim Wolf was a homeless United States Army veteran, struggling with alcoholism. Dégagé Ministries recently helped create an opportunity for Jim to turn his life around.
RobBlissCreative recorded a time-lapse of the ministry executing Jim's complete physical transformation this past September. They cut and styled Jim's hair, trimmed his beard, cleaned up his face and even changed out of his clothes into a brand new suit.
The look on Jim's face when he saw himself for the first time is priceless – you can see shock, surprise, incredulity, gladness and acceptance on his face, in what seems to be just a moment.
His broad smile seemed to fill the room when he got up to thank those responsible for his transformation. That gratitude solidified Jim's determination to turn his life around. He's attending Alcoholics Anonymous and has figured out a way to secure housing.
Here's to Jim taking positive steps in his life, and to honoring all of our vets this Veteran's Day.

Hereford v County postponed
8:29am Saturday 29th December 2012 in Newport County
NEWPORT County's Blue Square Premier trip to Hereford United today has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
A preliminary check on the playing surface yesterday afternoon indicated the game was in extreme doubt and the Edgar Road surface failed an inspection this morning after heavy rain overnight.
No date has been set for the rearranged fixture.

12 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard Real Ale label art and branded pry-off pressure cap acquired as part of a 4 pack at me local HEB Grocery Store and served into an Independence Brewing pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Reviewed live. Expectations are average given the brewery. Best before: 12/31/13. Edition No. 006. Dry Hopped. No ABV is listed on the label. Reviewed as a blonde barleywine because it identifies as such in the name.
Served cold, straight from me fridge, and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: No bubble show forms as I pour.
Pours a thin quarter-finger wide head of no creaminess or frothiness whatsoever. It's white in colour and recedes fully within 30 seconds; weak and pathetic. Slight lacing.
Body colour is a clear (transparent/translucent) yellow-copper of below average vibrance. No yeast particles are visible.
Overall, it's quite a bit lighter than most barleywines, so I guess it looks pretty standard for a blonde barleywine. In spite of the underwhelming head and body, I'm looking forward to trying it.
Sm: Has a prominent malty sweetness, with munich malts, pale malts, and English malts. Floral hop character. Vague citrusy and tropical fruit notes. Honey. Some zest. Fruit rind. It's a raw unrefined aroma, and I don't find it particularly pleasant, alive, or inviting.
No yeast character or alcohol is detectable.
Overall, it's a very light aroma - almost muted.
T: Bready malts, English (pale) malts, munich/blonde malts, clean barley, floral hops, and fruity hop notes - both tropical and citrusy. Each note is shockingly shallow, barely evoking anything. Honey, nectar, lemon/lime zest, fruit rind - orange, tangerine. Has some alcohol heat, but it's not boozy - just unpleasant. It has some general cohesion, but it's not well-balanced or gestalt. It's certainly on the sweet side. Lacks complexity and subtlety. There's no nuance here. It's actually fairly boring and bland; I'm surprised how flavourless it is. It does have a raw rind-y fruit character that I'd call off. There's little to like here.
Flavour duration is well below average for the style. Flavour intensity is average.
Mf: A bit too thick and syrupy. Somewhat harsh/acrid. Sticky. Has some heat to it. Smooth and wet. Unrefreshing. Doesn't suit the flavour profile too well; it feels a bit thrown together. Overcarbonated. I'm not a big fan.
Dr: A lackluster blonde barleywine from Real Ale. Uninspired and muted; there's hardly any flavour here. It doesn't even hides its ABV well. I see no reason to ever get this again, and I wouldn't recommend it to friends or trade partners. I've had my fair share of bad barleywines, but they always went for something; they were bold with their flavour profiles even if that profile ended up not being very good. This is so closed off and timid that it achieves a level of blandness I've never encountered in the style. This is one to be avoided. Not Real Ale's best work by any means.

12oz, 12/31/13 BBD
Riedel tulip
A: Pours a light golden orange. Yellow orange. Some sediment in there. Thin layer of white disappears into a collar of white. Doesn't seem like tons of carbonation.
S: Smells like a Belgian blonde ale. There are some light hops. Sweet malts.
T: Up front you get some Euro hops. Provides a slight bitterness. It really drinks light a Belgian golden ale without the yeast character. Sweet malts, but not similar barleywine. Finish is on the drier crisper side.
M: Fuller side of medium.

Got in a trade with Cyde. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 12/30/2013. Pours hazy and cloudy orange amber color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of orange zest, grapefruit, lemon zest, orange rind, floral, honey, bread, light pine, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and hop notes; with fairly weak strength. Taste of big orange zest, grapefruit, lemon zest, orange rind, tangerine, floral, honey, bread, pine, and floral earthiness. Fair amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, citrus zest, floral, pine, honey, bread, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of hop and malt flavors; with a very nice malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a slick and moderately sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice blonde barleywine. Good balance and complexity of malt and hop flavors; and quite smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

appearance: two finger off-white head. hazy topaz hue. medium carbonation from what it looks like. head fades sllowly to a one finger and then to a cap while drinking. lace sticks quite nicely to the glass.
nose: bready with some honey, toffee, and malt. some citrus in there. maybe a little apple. slight grapefruit. muted grassiness.
taste: buttery with some similar notes as the nose. honey wheat bread with a citrus and dry bitter finish. definitely some toffee and a hint of dark fruit. this is not as heavy on the sweetness as a full out barleywine, but it has the flavor profile of one while being somewhat muted, though not in a bad way. This is definitely a more refreshing version that was not meant to be as big as it can be. it definitely has that brown sugar thing going on. pretty well balanced between sweet and bitter.
mouthfeel: nice and chewy with moderate carbonation. pretty damn perfect for this beer. i wouldn't change anything about the mouthfeel.
overall: As barleywines are my favorite style, I've had plenty of experiences where one barleywine is enough. They are incredibly flavorful, but also very heavy, rich, and strong so typically the ones i find in bombers are definitely enough. this is the first blonde barleywine i've ever had and i dare say that the brewers are genius to produce this beer. it definitely mixes the classic barelywine flavor with the drinkability of a summer beer so that i can actually enjoy barelywines in the summer without having to blast my AC to simulate the winter climate. the only caveat with this beer is that it should not be allowed to get as warm as a typical barleywine. if you follow the serving temperature of a pale ale, this is smooth, flavorful, and just awesome all the way through.

A-pours a rich golden color with a medium white head that has okay retention and some mild lacing.
S- The aroma is quite faint for a barley wine. Just some bready, malty aromas and some fruity esthers from the yeast is all I pick up. They say it's dryhopped but I can't tell. This is super fresh so it's a big let down in the aroma catagory.
T- The flavor is a lot like the aroma, a big let down. Not much hops to taste, very one diminsional. Mainly just bready biscut like notes and that's it.
M- Full bodied, thick and creamy with a slightly sweet mild finish. Carbonation level is on the mild side as well.
O- Overall, I was not impressed. This is one of the least impressive beers from real ales "brewes cut" release so far. I actually would not recommend this beer to a friend. For an american barley wine, this is a poor representation.

Poured into pint tumbler with significant head with extensive lacing. Head smells quite hoppy, very nice. Initial taste is mild hops. This persists and finish is quite dry. My only minor gripe is wanting to taste a bit more of the underlying beer, as the dry hop is quite potent. Overall, a very enjoyable brew.

A: Pours a cloudy/hazed golden/orange color. Lots of sediment in this, and I did not realize it until I saw a bunch of floaties in the glass. A small white head forms, and recedes in a second. Light lace.
S: A floral and perfume like aroma. Citrus and orange. Other juicy/fruity aromas. Not a lot of bitterness here which I enjoy.
T: Follows the nose with a citrus, orange rind kind of flavor. Floral and juicy. A bit of sweetness, but finishes dry with a touch of bitterness. Enjoyable.
M/D: A medium body with lively carbonation. Very effervescent, crisp, clean, and dry. Easy and enjoyable to drink. The alcohol is nowhere to be seen, a good sipper.
This is very nice. I can see myself getting a few four packs while this lasts. An enjoyable and unique take on the style.

The winning ticket for the Second Annual Rush County School Legacy Fund Homecoming Quilt was pulled by Dr. John E. Williams during half time at the Lion's football game, Sept. 20. While RCHS Homecoming events dodged raindrops, all events went on without delay. For the second year in a row the newly formed Legacy Fund offered the Legacy Fund Homecoming Quilt as a way of fostering community participation in the fund. This year more than $700 dollars from opportunity ticket sales went directly to the Legacy Fund that benefits all Rush County Schools.
We are pleased to announce this year's winner is Lori Simpson. She claimed her prize at the Mays Chili Supper on Oct. 4 with the assistance of family friend Abri Dalfanto. Congratulations to Lori and we look forward to seeing next year's version of the Third Annual Homecoming Quilt.
Marianne Scott is the Legacy Fund director/Information officer with Rush County Schools.

Switzerland and Honduras played to an even, 0-0 draw on Friday, leaving Switzerland out of the World Cup.
Switzerland would have advanced to the knockout stage of the competition with a two goal win, but Honduras looked just as likely to get a counter attack goal in Friday's match, playing the Swiss to a scoreless draw that earned the Catarachos their only point of World Cup 2010.
Switzerland held 63 percent of the match's possession and recorded five of the six shots on goal, but Honduras had nearly as many scoring chances, with poor finishing on counter attacks plaguing their chances for an opening goal.
Switzerland, unaccustomed to pressing the action, never could break down Honduras and end the tournament failing to score a goal after Gelson Fernandes's tally that beat Spain.

I have created analog clocks, other buttons etc. with same method as I am using for the softkeys, but for some reason the softkeys shows white in the alpha areas.
Anyone know why this is the case?
Thanks in advance.

I guess he thought he had some insider knowledge, but he got caught.
The owner of a Tennessee trucking company has entered a guilty plea in a cargo theft scheme.
Earl Stanley Nunn of Memphis, owner of Nu World Trucking, used his company's trucks to steal cargo in several states, federal prosecutors say. According a report from The Associated Press, drivers would drive tractor trucks without trailers to truck stops and other areas and would hitch unattended trailers to their trucks and take off.
The stolen cargo was driven to Chicago and Detroit to be sold, the news report said.

As the Aug. 1 deadline for nominations for Security Director News' "20 under 40" awards fast approaches, I've been thinking about the previous winners I've had the pleasure of getting to know.
I checked in with a few of them by email recently—it's very hard to get these busy pros on the phone!— to get their take on how the award has helped them in their careers and how attending the TechSec conference, where the awards are presented, benefited them. From advancing in their careers, expanding their professional ties through networking and earning even more respect from their peers and supervisors, each had positive things to say.
I hope they'll inspire you to add some more names to this year's robust nominee list. Please do—and remember the deadline is right around the corner. Here they are, in their own words…
Toby Heath, business development manager, Seneca Data
"The award landed me the next job in my career path. My employer specifically asked about the award and immediately understood my relevance in the security industry.
"There were two distinct benefits in attending TechSec. First, the educational sessions were all focused on the future of the security market—this is the opposite of most shows. Second, the networking with peers provided me with numerous new relationships that I am still leveraging today.
"I would encourage others to nominate their peers because the security industry is built on relationships. What better way to strengthen a relationship than recommending them for an award!"
Chad Pohle, director safety and security, Montage Laguna Beach
"The award has impacted my career with respect to the networking opportunities and new relationships I've made with a multitude of professionals in various industries (especially my own). I feel the most valuable relationships I've built have actually been with the other winners in my class.
"More importantly, winning the award publicized and affirmed the commitment my team of officers has for our guests' safety, security and comfort. I still don't consider myself to be the winner of this award as I feel this award was won by my team of officers, and I was simply the person who accepted it on their behalf.
"I'd encourage others to nominate young professionals for '20 under 40' because recognizing individuals for their hard work shows the nominees they're appreciated and they're doing something right. Ultimately, it promotes camaraderie and creates a fraternal organization of trusted individuals who are dedicated to their profession and gives up-and-coming young professionals the forum to be recognized for their continued efforts. My goal for every officer on my team is for them to eventually hold my title (and beyond) at one of our properties (if that's what they're seeking). As I've matured into my position over the years, the one main thing that continues to drive and excite me more and more is the growth and development of talented young security professionals and enriching their lives with education they can use in their personal and professional lives."
Adam Parker, director of loss prevention, Lamps Plus Inc.
"I was very excited to learn that I was selected as a '20 under 40' winner from Security Director News. It truly is an honor to be part of such an exclusive and high-caliber group of young security professionals. It was also very nice to hear the congratulations of my peers, both in the retail loss prevention community as well as the larger security industry as a whole.
"Attending the Tech Sec Solutions conference was also a treat. I think what I enjoyed most about the conference was sharing information and networking with other security professionals. The event attracted hands-on leaders from every security market and discipline including hospitality, data centers, schools, hospitals, utilities, retailers, manufactures and more. I was able to share and gain insight into many of the common security challenges and solutions that we all face. I'm personally very appreciative for the entire experience and to be included with such a wonderful and diverse group of young security leaders."
Scott Starkey, security director, Birmingham Water Works Board
"The '20 under 40' award was probably the most influential professional award that I have ever received. After my company learned that I had received the award it helped my career immensely. Within a year of receiving the award, I was promoted and had several other companies call with unsolicited job offers.
"I would certainly encourage all security professionals to look around at their staff and take the time to nominate someone who has worked really hard in the profession and deserves the credit and prestige that goes along with winning this award.
"I have attended many conferences put on by various security organizations; the TechSec Conference is, hands down, the best conference of the year. Each year, I learn a great deal from the very knowledgeable speakers, and I bring their practical, insightful knowledge back to my job to incorporate strategies that I learned. The strategies and technological ideas that I bring back helps me show a very pleasing ROI to my board of directors and CEO, which, in turn, provides me with the needed financial resources to implement my security strategies. I feel that this conference is certainly well worth the time and expense. If a security professional attends this conference, they will not be disappointed."
Demerle Lewis, security manager, New York State Insurance Fund
"Receiving this award has helped me tremendously in my career. Not only did I receive recognition for my expertise and knowledge, but I joined a fraternity of professionals who have received the award before me as well as those who will receive the award in the future. Receiving the award has allowed me to move forward in my career as I am now making the transition from a security manager to a security consultant. Some of the relationships I have with my colleagues stem from winning the award. I am grateful for the nomination and still honored to this day that I was chosen. It is a huge accomplishment.
"Attending the TechSec conference was one of the best decisions I have made. The conference gives security professionals the opportunity to network with peers, and there is nothing better than putting a face with a name. The conference also allows us to take part in panel discussions about topics that are current and relevant to the industry and not only do we discuss issues we are facing, but also to come up with solutions and ideas to make things better.
"There are so many professionals in our field who are going unnoticed. Nominating them will not only help to enhance their careers, will also encourage them to continue to strive to be the best they can be. I remember the excitement I felt when I first learned of my nomination. Not only was I ecstatic, but I felt a sense of accomplishment. I was proud to be nominated, and I didn't expect to be chosen as a winner of the award; the nomination itself was enough for me. It helped me to know I belonged in the industry and that I can accomplish so much more."
I've been reporting lately on the retailers, including Target, that have asked customers to leave their guns at home, especially in Texas where Open Carry Demonstrations at stores and restaurants have been prevalent in recent weeks.
So this piece of news out of Takoma Park, Md., caught my eye as an interesting take on the bringing-firearms-into stores situation. I wanted to pass it along. I especially enjoyed the police chief's smart comments.
Here's the report from policemag.com:
"Takoma Park Police Chief Alan Goldberg said in 35 years in law enforcement he's never had a store tell him that he would have to leave his service weapon in the car or leave—especially when he was in his police uniform. But that's what happened July 4 in the Ikea in College Park, Md., when Goldberg had stopped in with his daughter.
" 'It isn't the most prudent thing to do to walk around the store in uniform with an empty holster,' Goldberg said. 'And I am not going to lock my gun in a commercial parking lot, with people watching me put it in there. That's just ludicrous.'
"Ikea issued a statement saying, 'Our weapon policy does not apply to law enforcement officers.'
"Goldberg, who was so angry at the store's response Friday that he posted about it on Facebook, said Monday that the store's response satisfies him."
Goldberg was in uniform because he had worked that morning at the city's July 4 parade, and would be back on duty that night for fireworks, according to NBCwashington.com
The Ikea store had signs posted on its front door that read "Weapons Free Environment, and it was a loss prevention officer who stopped Goldberg, NBCwashington.com said.
INDIANAPOLIS—The 2014 National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security Conference & Exhibition gets under way here July 8 and continues through July 10, and it looks to be a great show.
At NCS4's fifth annual conference the theme is "The Business of Sports Safety and Security." The role of sports security is, NCS4 says, now more than ever a business one. "No longer an afterthought, security has become a core function embedded in disciplines such as finance, law, marketing and operations," it says.
In addition to presenting its annual Golden Eagle Awards, NCS4 will conduct education sessions focusing on security at high school athletics and after-school activities; collegiate events, including combating behavior issues at those events; implementing security standards and best practices at professional sports venues ; tailgating issues; incidence command at marathons and other endurance events; and active shooter incidents at sporting events.
Roundtable discussion topics will include the use of robotics in sports safety and security, crowd control, command centers, the pros and cons of social media and lessons learned from the Boston Marathon bombings.
I do want to catch up with NCS4 to find out how this conference went. I'll be following it from here, via Twitter and other updates, but if you're there, let me know!
I'm thinking that Megan Rice, the peace-promoting 84-year-old nun who broke into the Y-12 nuclear weapons facility in Oak Ridge, Tenn., two years ago, never dreamed she'd be the basis for a character on the often violent, foul-mouthed and sexually explicit Netflix series, "Orange is the New Black."
The acclaimed series is set in a women's prison. It has a large cast of characters. Their backstories—as in how they wound up wearing the orange garb in the first place—are a big part of the show.
One of the characters is Sister Ingalls, an older inmate, played by Beth Fowler. Her backstory turned up in an episode I was watching last night. It seems that Sister Ingalls was convicted, along with two other peace demonstrators, older gentlemen, of breaking into a nuclear complex. The three easily sail into the supposedly high-security site, get to their destination and look around. They haven't been detected, which obviously is what they want to happen; they're demonstrating afterall. Where are the guards? Sister Ingalls yells out something to the effect of, "Hello! Is there anyone here?" She then splashes a container of "blood" on a building. It was somewhat of a comical scene.
Sound familiar? If you're familiar with the Y-12 details, it is. I looked it up this morning and, indeed, Beth Fowler told The Hollywood Reporter that her Sister Ingalls character was based on Megan Rice's story. Rice is serving a 35-month sentence in a federal prison.
I was captivated by the Megan Rice Y-12 story, and obviously, it caught the eye of Hollywood, too.
Her demonstration exposed serious security flaws at the plant. After the break-in, the complex had to be shut down, security forces were re-trained and contractors were replaced. The Department of Energy's inspector general wrote a scathing report on the facility's security failures, and the security contractor was later fired.
Organized cargo theft rings love holiday weekends.
That's because they know shipments might be left unattended longer than usual, according to FreightWatch International. Thefts go up over these weekends, and the Fourth of July is no exception.
Thefts occurring over Independence Day weekends between 2010 and 2013 had an average value of $257,016; nine separate incidents involving cargo valued over $250,000 were recorded during this period, according to a FreightWatch press release.
Here are some notable thefts from previous Fourth of July weekends, provided by FreightWatch:
Both in-transit and warehouse operations likely will be targets over the three-day holiday weekend coming right up, so FreightWatch urges security pros to be on high alert.
Here's a twist.
Two of the five suspects in a June 13 smash-and-grab robbery at a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Troy, Mich., have been turned in—by their parents.
Joshua Tredez Colvin, 17, of Detroit, was arrested June 20 and arraigned June 24 on a charge of retail fraud, third degree, a five-year felony, according to report in the Oakland Press. Colvin entered a plea of not guilty and was released on a $10,000 personal bond, the report said.
The name of the second supect trotted down to the police station by his parents has not been released. He is a juvenile.
Two people smashed open a glass jewelry case, grabbed seven Cartier watches, but dropped one, as they took off along with their lookout and two other suspects, police said.
Clear photos from store surveillance cameras were made public by police.
FOUNTAIN HILL, Penn.—A 26-year-old man was being treated at St. Luke's University Hospital here for a head injury sustained in a motorcycle accident. A few days later, he broke through a locked sixth-floor window and jumped. It was the injuries from the jump that eventually caused his death.
This is the stuff of every hospital security staff's worse nightmare. The needless loss of life? Not to mention that events like this can lead to lawsuits and other consequences.
It's called elopement. The man tried to leave the hospital four times after he was admitted and was successful twice, according to a report in The Morning Call newspaper in Allentown, Pa. When he did get out of the hospital, he was picked up by police and returned to the hospital, the report said. You can read the full report here.
It's common for brain-injured patients to try and leave the hospital, the report said.
Condolences go out, not only to family and friends of the brain-injured patient, but to the staff at St. Luke's as well; you know they're reeling and, I'd assume, second-guessing their actions. I don't know any more details than what I've read, and maybe more will come out. I just know from hospital security pros I've spoken to over the last few years that securing people in a hospital setting is very, very difficult.
In a case such as this one, "(d)octors cannot simply strap down or anesthetize an unruly medical patient for long periods of time as they once could," said Marilyn Hollier, president of the International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety. "Back in the day, you could put patients in restraints for a few hours, but you can't do that anymore," she told the newspaper.
Hospitals face so many challenges these days, from active shooters, gang-related violence, domestic violence that spills over into the workplace and more. That's why they need to have top-notch security staffs and technology at their disposal.
I spoke with IAHSS President Marilyn Hollier at ISC West this spring and interviewed her on camera. Hear how she's making sure her facilities at the University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers are doing their best to protect patients and staff. Hint: It has to do with respecting, honoring and valuing the security team.
A teenager in Sanford, Maine, has been charged with criminal threatening after posting on Facebook that he was thinking about shooting everyone in his class. This occurred in the wake of the shooting of Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Ore.
The teen had motive and means, police say.
The boy got caught before making more definitive plans or taking action because a fellow student told her mother about the threats she had seen on Facebook, and the mother in turn notified police. (Thank you, fellow student, and thank you, Mom!)
"The most important aspect of this case is that a student reported her concerns about the suspect's Facebook posts to her mother, and the mother immediately called the police and alerted us to the threat, ultimately leading to the suspect's arrest. Since we believe that the suspect had the motive and the means to commit this crime, the student's and parent's swift action was crucial in allowing us to close this case," Sanford Police Chief Thomas P. Connolly Jr. said in a report from WMTW.com.
I wrote last month about a young woman in Minnesota. She was washing dishes when she saw something unusual out her window. She notified police, who showed up and found a teenager with elaborate plans to kill his family, set a fire to divert law enforcement, then head for his high school armed with bombs and firearms that he had manufactured and stockpiled with the intent of injuring as many students as he could.
Thankfully, that teen couldn't carry out his plans.
Meanwhile, I just read today, June 16, about the arrests of two Tennessee teens who studied the 1999 Columbine school shootings and wanted to top that massacre to claim their place in posterity. They wanted to become the most notorious school shooters of all time, according to news reports. Authorities seized their journals and weapons last fall after the investigation began. That investigation began because an alert parent found a notebook outlining the plans to kill people at Volunteer High School in Church Hill. A counselor for one of the boy's saw the plot as real and alerted authorities, according to a report from TimesNews.com.
"This wasn't just a threat," Hawkins County Sheriff Ronnie Lawson said in the report. "This was a planned attack."
The Tennessee teens have been charged and are in custody. You can read more about their frightening plans here.
There should be GIGANTIC honors for these people who See Something and Say Something.
Know of any other stories like this? Let me know.
What follows is the June 11 official statement from Troutdale, Ore., Police Chief Scott Anderson about the shooting at Reynolds High School June 10 that left two 15-year-olds dead, including the shooter, and injured a teacher.
My name is Scott Anderson, and I am the chief of Troutdale Police Department.
To update the investigation:
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office completed the autopsy this morning on the shooter and has positively identified him as 15-year-old Jared Michael Padgett.
He was a freshman at Reynolds High School. He arrived at school yesterday morning on the school bus carrying a guitar case and a duffel bag. He entered the boys' locker room in the building that housed the gymnasium. He spent a period of time in the locker room and during that time murdered a fellow student.
We have not established any link between the student and the shooter.
Teacher Todd Rispler encountered the shooter in the locker room. As he was fleeing, Mr. Rispler was shot once, suffering a grazing wound to his hip. Mr. Rispler made his way to the office, where he was able to notify the administration, which then immediately initiated the lockdown.
As the shooter was moving through the main hallway, he encountered officers who were starting to enter from two separate doorways. At that time, he moved into a small restroom. We know there was an exchange of gunfire between one of the first responding officers and the shooter. Based on the autopsy this morning, we do know that the shooter died of a self-inflected gunshot wound.
The shooter used an AR-15 type rifle in the attack and carried, but did not use, a semi-automatic handgun. Investigators also recovered nine loaded magazines with the capability of holding several hundred rounds.
The shooter also had a large knife. He was wearing a non-ballistic vest used for carrying ammunition and other items. He also was wearing a multi-sport helmet with a camouflage design.
The shooter obtained the weapons from his family home. The weapons had been secured, but he defeated the security measures.
At this time, it would be inappropriate to discuss a possible motive for the murder.
I cannot emphasize enough the role that Mr. Rispler and the responding officers played in saving many, many lives yesterday. Given the weapons and amount of ammunition that the shooter was carrying, the early notification and the initial law enforcement response were critical. Every one of the teachers and students in that school did the exact right thing in a very difficult situation.
Sometimes it may be difficult to understand why we—law enforcement and the schools collectively—do the planning and lockdown drills we do, but yesterday, it worked.
To the parents—we understand there is no greater fear than knowing your child may be in danger and you cannot get to them. We know that some of you had to wait—sometimes several hours—to reunite with them. It was our priority—and that of the school—to get the kids out and get them back to you safely. We appreciate your understanding that it was a process that took some time. The support you provided to us and to your children was phenomenal.
We know that parents, students, and staff are still dealing with the impact of this incident. The mental health resources are available again today, and I would encourage you to take advantage of them at the schools and at Mt. Hood Community College. We will have more information on that in a few minutes.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Sylvania Police say they have increased patrols around Timberstone Junior High in an effort to stop drivers from cutting through the school's parking lot.
School officials complained drivers started cutting through the lot when construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Sylvania Avenue and Mitchaw Road began last week. Drivers ignored detour and 'no through traffic' signs and cut through the school's parking lot to get around the construction faster.
Sylvania Police say increased patrols, particularly before and after school, have caused drivers to start following the detour and staying out of the school parking lot.
"Kids get distracted easily, they see their friends, they see anything that's gonna take their attention away from their surroundings. So, it's up to us to be mindful of that, not only police officers, but the motoring public in general. You kind of have to," said patrolman Kevin Pelwecki.
The roundabout should be completed by mid November.

"Jon has outstanding credentials as a hospital administrator and a health system leader," said Margaret Lewis and Denise P. King in a joint statement. "His experience translates perfectly to LewisGale and will allow us to continue our work in providing high-value, high-quality healthcare during a time of great change in the industry." Lewis is President of HCA's Richmond, VA.-based Capital Division and Senior Executive of HCA Virginia Health System. King is Chairman of LewisGale Medical Center's board of trustees.

"I'm delighted to be rejoining HCA and excited about coming to the Roanoke Valley," said Bartlett.

Which Mexican food restaurant in town is the best?

"Los Pericos" in Dublin - authentic mexican food.
on Feb 21, 2011 at 10:18 am
Try Anita's in Livermore. It's on Railroad Ave.
on Feb 21, 2011 at 10:19 am
Blue Agave on Main St. in Pleasanton and Casa Orozco in Livermore are our two favorites.
on Feb 21, 2011 at 10:29 am
Fiesta Taco ... loved by all who have gone or have kids who have gone to Amador.
on Feb 21, 2011 at 10:31 am
Oh ... I agree with kay CASA OROZCO in Livermore ... but sit in the bar area
on Feb 21, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Fiesta Taco!
on Feb 22, 2011 at 11:08 am
Denica's in Dublin off Dougherty....great mexican food!
on Feb 22, 2011 at 1:30 pm
It has to be Fiesta Taco. Anytime you find the police and firemen eating somewhere you know it's good. Fiesta has become the defacto AVHS food hangout. Miguel and Jose have been especially good supporters of Amador over the years.
The ranchero burrito rules...
on Feb 22, 2011 at 3:08 pm
X4 for Fiesta Taco. Best chips in the area!
on Feb 22, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Fiesta Taco...the food is great, and you have to admire the way the owners/staff treat the Amador kids with respect, and the kids seem to return the courtesy. This place is a huge asset to Pleasanton and deserves our support.
on Feb 22, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Fiesta Taco is not my favourite, but my family loves it and I also appreciate how my teenagers feel comfortable there. We also like Fernandos on St. Mary St. I believe it is also a family business. And I have to plug Mexico Lindo....many of us Amador parents hang out there. The service has always been exceptional & I think the food is good.
I'm glad to hear the suggestion of "Los Pericos". I work near there and have always wondered. I will definitely try it.
on Feb 22, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Sad to say, but we go to Casa Orozco Livermore..but guess I should try Fiesta with the comments above.
I'm originally from Tucson, and My Northern CA favorite is ElBurro on the outskirts of Newpark Mall for 20+ yrs, and the original ElBurro 30+ years in The Pruneyard in Campbell.... best authentic red gravy and sauce...huge facility. Our family meets there from all parts of the greater Bay Area for all BDs, etc. They do receptions, etc too. My favorite Sun afternoon is driving thru Sunol canyon, across Mowrey, left right after cross over of 880.
on Mar 13, 2011 at 3:39 pm
I grew up in San Jose and was spoiled with various authentic Mexican restaurants. Unfortunately in Pleasanton/Livermore/Dublin the closest I've found is El Balazos (the one in Walmart is better). I know Casa Orozco is very popular but it's not at all authentic and I think for that reason appeals to the masses. Another recommendation is The Pupusa House in Livermore, which is Salvadorian but thought I'd include it in this post since they have great pupusas.
on Mar 13, 2011 at 3:40 pm
Correction - the El Balazo's by Walmart (not in Walmart lol)

Zack Greinke is officially available, and Jayson Stark has narrowed the list of serious suitors to just four teams:
But in reality, the market for Greinke appears to be narrowing itself primarily to four clubs: the Rangers, Angels, White Sox and Braves.
Teams that have spoken with the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Dodgers say they're not involved on Greinke, for various reasons. The Indians and Orioles are now all but out of the rent-a-pitcher business, unless the price tag is too cheap to turn down. And the Cardinals seem to be leaning that way as well.
My money's on the White Sox, for the simple reason that they're in the middle of the closest race for a division title; granted, that can easily change before the trade deadline. But as Stark notes, it might not make much sense to trade two good minor-league prospects simply to boost your chances of getting into that one-game Wild Card playoff.

Last taste of summer in Tuscany
I just returned from touring vineyards in the Morellino di Scansano DOCG district in southwest Tuscany, and once in a while I had to stop to eat. One of the most memorable meals was at Trattoria Verdiana (Ponticello di Montemerano on the road between Scansano and Montemerano, tel: [011-34] 0564-602-576). It's open nightly except Wednesday, and uses the produce from a 10,000 square meter garden as the basis for the menu. There, as here in New England, the growing season is coming to a close. So I was surprised and delighted when the amuse-bouche pictured above appeared in front of me. It's a grape tomato (upside down) cut in half, filled with a dab of creamy burrata and a tiny basil leaf. The whole composition was then drizzled in a great local olive oil. It summed up summer in a bite.

MySQL - Finding Overlaps
I'm looking into developing something in MySQL. Imagine I have some 'project' and some 'timeframes' in a MySQL database. Many 'timeframes' may belong to each 'project'. The table containing 'timeframes' has an ID linking it to each project. 'timeframes' of any sort may not overlap - and this is easy to query:
However - I would ideally like to return the following - a new timeframe may not be in a 'project' that is not its own (defined by the earliest 'timeframe' date belonging to that project and the latest 'timeframe' date beloning to that project) - but MAY appear between two timeframes in its own 'project'. Is there some way I could query this from the 'timeframes' table in a similar format?

The Jaguars have signed second-year RB Keith Toston and waived rookie DE Ryan Davis to make room for Toston on the roster, the team announced Tuesday.
Toston was with the Jaguars through the 2012 preseason and showed decent production, picking up 171 yards on 22 carries with a 42-yard touchdown, but didn't make it past the final wave of cuts. He joined the Rams as an undrafted rookie in 2010 and played in every game that season as a reserve.
Davis made the Jaguars' opening-day roster as an undrafted free agent but had only played in one game this season.
The way we see it
Toston was likely signed to provide depth after starting RB Maurice-Jones Drew left Sunday's game against Oakland with a foot injury. If Jones-Drew is out for an extended period, Toston may see some action in a reserve role.

Police say the death of a 10-year-old western Michigan boy who disappeared this weekend after going fishing has been ruled an accidental drowning.
The Grand Rapids Press reports Belding police Chief Dale Nelson on Tuesday released preliminary results from an autopsy of Devon Morrison.
Searchers on Monday found his body near the Ashfield Street bridge in Belding, about 25 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.
The boy was last seen Saturday as he headed for the Flat River from his nearby home with a fishing pole. He was a fifth-grader at Woodview Elementary School.
His disappearance prompted an extensive search. Police have said Devon would regularly fish alone at the river.

The Smart Why & Why Not?
Occasionally, customers will ask me why they should choose Weathermatic Smart controllers over the competition. There's a lot to that question, but I usually respond with "Why not?"
Weathermatic has been on the forefront of irrigation technologies for almost 50 years. We were the first with a solid state controller back in the 1970's and the first to produce an affordable weather-based controller in 2004. Now we are on the cutting-edge with the new and affordable SmartLink that brings your controller to your mobile device or computer. And the company is not close to being done. We are simply not satisfied with the redesigning and repackaging the same product. We develop new and better products using the newest and greatest technologies!
So, what about Smart controllers? Is there really any difference between SmartLine and the competition? Smartline has too many features to contain within this short article, so I will touch on a couple that are important to me:
- Non-volatile memory. This means the controller will retain its memory even in the event of a power loss. Smartline does not require a 9 volt battery to insure the controller does this. So, no need to replace a battery year-after-year.
- The Locator function. From the controller panel, you can ping or chatter a valve. This is a huge advantage for helping find buried or hidden valves without the need for costly locating equipment.
- Seasonal adjust by month. Now, most of you have seen the water or % place on the dial. The problem here is that this stays in effect until you change it. Smartline has the percentage, but it is programmable by month, so your controller automatically changes watering amount up and down based on your input. No more remembering to change the run times when fall arrives.
- The weather station. With the addition of our on-site weather station, you now have a controller that is driven by the weather. As I mentioned above, you can set it to change based on the month, but how about a controller that adapts and changes every day? That's 365 automatic adjustments versus just 12. The weather station takes daily weather readings and makes automatic adjustment based on that days weather. It mounts easily and is maintenance free. Get a cold front that blows through? Smartline knows. April heats up more than usual? Smartline knows. With the added bonus of the weather station, your water bills stay in check with the season, everyday!
So for those of you who ask us, "Why Weathermatic?" I ask why not. Make the Smart decision.

"He didn't skate yesterday and he's not much better today," said Stars coach Glen Gulutzan. "He's not going to go tonight. It's our window here to get it better. Yesterday a day off, a day off for him today and a day off tomorrow, then we'll see if he can skate on Monday."
With Morrow out, Matt Fraser will slide into the lineup. Fraser, who was called up from the Texas Stars of the AHL on Friday, is expected to skate on a line with center Cody Eakin and right wing Reilly Smith.
"I just want him to play," said Gulutzan. "I noticed in the first couple of games that he played he was nervous. I don't want him to be, I just want him to play. It's not life or death for him, I want him to come in and play his game, play hard and I fully expect he is going to do that. I think the second time around he is going to be a little more relaxed and play a little bit more of his game."
The 22-year old Fraser, Texas' top goal scorer, has played two games this season for Dallas, and scored his first NHL goal on February 25 at Nashville.
"Anytime you get a chance to play in the NHL it is exciting. It's what we work for in the American League. It's exciting and I am happy to be here," said Fraser. "There isn't any such thing as having a bad day in the NHL, especially when you're a young guy and you're a deer in headlights. You come up here and soak up every opportunity you can. Jaromir Jagr is sitting across from me and it's pretty cool to see him there and to be on the same ice with him."
Gulutzan said he won't make any changes on defense. He likes the way the group played in Thursday's 5-2 win at Los Angeles.
"We're going to stay with it," said Gulutzan. "We liked how our defense played as a group in a tough building. We're going to stick with it."
Kari Lehtonen is in goal tonight.
