Pours a tiny head. Color is dark black.
Smell is a bit fruity, but as the head dissipates it becomes much more bitter.
First sip is pretty fun. I've had both the Uber Goober and the Soft Parade separately, which are both very good beers as is. Combined together they make a very intriguing beer. It really does live up to the name of Peanut Butter and Jelly. There are qualities of both sets of ingredients that survive enough to be easily recognizable by the palate. Mouthfeel is present and very lively, with a good level of carbonation present.
Another very good beer by Shorts. Get this one before it goes out of season!

Reviewed from notes written on 12-17-10.
PB & J pours brown with a ruby tint 'round the edges into a big snifter. A light brown, half-finger head materializes and disappears in no time, leaving a nebulous haze on top. Some lace is left on the glass as the beer disappears, but not more than some small dots and streaks.
Well, there are definitely peanut notes upfront in the smell, along with a hefty serving of berries - strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Some roasted malt lurks behind the the initial smells, along with a strange, Saran-Wrap-like plastic aroma. Yeah, I can smell a tasty sandwich in there.
Berries ambush my mouth at the onset of the taste and don't let go for the duration of the sip. Post-swallow, roasted malt and peanuts are liberated. I'm going to wait a bit for this to warm... okay, I'm back after rocking out some tasty piano licks. The finish is a nice blend of the two components... I just wish that the whole taste experience would be that way. For me, it's a little too heavy on the Soft Parade and not quite enough of the Uber Goober.
The mouthfeel is quite light a the beginning and becomes more substantial toward the end. The carbonation is about right for what the beer is. For me, the feel is too syrupy sweet and stinging from the tart berries, and not creamy and full enough from the peanut stout.
PB & J essentially accomplishes what it is shooting for, but falls just short of a perfect balance between the PB and the J. If I was tasked with renaming the brew, I would call it J and the PBs. Anyway, I would have it again, but it isn't a must-repeat for me.

From notes: Deep brown pour with red highlights and a light tan head - aromas of, well, peanut butter and jelly. Roast, peanuts , strawberries and blueberries. Mild spicy rye in the background. First sip brings fruit to the forefront and the peanut and roast with dark malt comes through on the way down. Mellow rye as it melds very wonderfully overall. Great balance and a great blend. Medium bodied good carbonation. Easy to drink and extremely unique. Glad I cracked this one fresh!

A_Dark brown almost black with red highlights. Thick khaki head with a swirl of red tint. Nice retention and lacing.
S_Smell is mostly strawberry with a hint of peanut.I,ve never had soft parade but can definitely pick out the uber goober.
T_The strawberry and peanut butter come in waves. The taste varies from sip to sip. I'd say that the peanut butter is less noticeable than the fruit flavor.
M_Smooth medium bodied but a bit watery with a chalky film left on the tongue.
D_Overall definitely worth a try but I can't see myself drinking too many.

Notes from Dec. 2010; 2010 release
Pours deep brown with one finger of head. Looks like a highly carbonated stout. Leaves a trail of lacing behind.
Wow, smells exactly like a PB&J. Sometimes the peanut seems to dominate the aroma, but the next smell is heavy on the fruity side. Overall, the peanuts seems to win out. They really nailed what they were going for with this one.
Unfortunately, the taste is way less interesting than the smell. The fruity character is more tart than sweet (not from infection/refermentation). Thus, the PB and the J seem to be fighting each other more than complementing each other. Not a bad taste, just tastes like a blend of two beers instead of one harmonious beer. A bit of hops pokes through on the finish.
Mouthfeel is light, even slightly thin.
Overall, this is okay, but not something I will seek out again. The lack of harmony makes it easy to stop at one. I love Short's and am definately glad I tried this, but a bit of a miss for me.

Thanks to TasteTester for sending this bottle to me.
On opening, there is a loud pop but no gushing. The beer pours dark brown with a ridiculous tan head. It appears infected because there is about half and inch of beer and the rest of the glass is slow-falling head.
The aroma is peanuts with a little tartness. The flavor starts off with peanuts and then you get some fruit before getting a lot of tartness. Not what the brewer intended, but not terrible. Thin mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

I was surprised with this one. Much darker than I expected. Nice head. Smells like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that was left in the car for like 4 hours. Tastes of strawberry jam, peanut butter on the aftertaste. Beautiful when you think about it. So unique! Very carbonated, fit the beer well, but curious as to what it would taste like without all the carbonation. I dug this beer. Big ups to BA Bringthebail for bringing this to our tasting.

Thanks for sharing, j47paco!
Dark brown in color throughout with ruby and auburn edges. There's a thin light brown head that leaves spots of lace down the glass.
The aroma is as advertised! This smell's like a messy, dripping, kindergartner's peanut butter and jelly sandwich: mild breadiness, sticky Skippy peanut butter, and sweet strawberry jam! Unique, unusual, and honestly, pretty crazy.
Unfortunately, the flavor falls significantly away from the aroma, though I really had no idea what to expect even after sniffing this one for some time. This beer is pretty acidic and sharp, somewhat sweet, and there's a bit of bread and nuttiness left over, but there's nothing much here to enjoy or appreciate. It seems like an old, acidic, slightly soured (and not in a good way) nut brown ale.
Medium mouthfeel with enough carbonation, though somewhat sharp and a bit abrasive.
So glad I got to try this, thanks Juan! That being said, the liquid in the glass smelled far better than it tasted.

3.73/5 rDev +7.5%
A: Poured into my 10oz sniftner, this brew pours a murky deep purple (no joke) hue with a tan peanut colored head that quickly shy's away.
S: The aroma is very tart, like fruit that is not yet ripe. Raspberries and young grapes. The roasted notes are not just "peanut butter" but resemble it's likeness. Very naturally roasted.
T: The flavor is a shocker actually. The tart of the fruit takes over on the first sip. Upfront sour tart berries. As the first sip progresses to the back of the pallet, the peanut butter hits (non-chunky, must have been creamy peanut butter). As the rest of this beer goes down, the flavor "sandwich" together very well.
MF: Mouth feel is medium light. Residual peanut flavors our left on the back of the pallet.
Overall, I'm really glad I don't have a peanut allergy, because this one was a really nice treat!

Once again, eyebrews to the rescue! Now, when I heard this beer was a blend of Uber Goober and Soft Parade, I was a little concerned because I wasn't too keen on Soft Parade. But with a name like PB&J... you gotta pull the trigger.
Black pour with fizzy head. That soon settles down into a thin rim.
Tons of berries in the nose, a la Soft Parade, but there are those ballpark peanuts prevalent in Uber Goober. Hmm. It is what it says, but that has me a little on edge since I didn't love these two beers.
Wow! Does this ever taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. How the hell do they do it? Roast, white bread crust, strawberry preserves... delicious!
Lots of carbonation and a dry finish. Another winner! This MI brewery is just so unique, forward-thinking and fresh... Short's is now my favorite brewery. Sorry Surly... Short's only looks out for me!

3.75/5 rDev +8.1%
Notes are fairly recent and, of course, thorough.
The color of this beer is an extremely dark brown. A light brown head forms around one finger high with decent retention and moderate lacing.
Both peanut butter and jelly are prevalent in the aroma, and the jelly mixes a bit more purely here than in the flavor. There's a malty backbone here that's enough to rest on while allowing the true character to come through nicely.
The jelly turns a touch tart and goes a bit too soft in the flavor, though the peanut remains. Just underneath linger notes of chocolate and grains.
The body is medium with appropriately light carbonation and a nice smoothness.
This is spot on if only the jelly doesn't fade out in the flavor. As usual, Short's does a good job with an interesting food-inspired brew.

A- Is dark brown,somewhat black in appearance. Looks almost like a stout. Very little head retention but good carbonation.
S- smells like strawberry jam, peanuts, has some earthy tones and I can pick up just a little bit of what smells like raspberry.
T- Taste the strawberry jam right away, almost punches you in the mouth with a tart sweetness. Finishes with a mellow peanut taste that almost seems a little off, but is still good.
M- this one is extremely light for how dark it is, very tart feel to it, a cheek pucker.
D- This one is too sweet and just to different to be able to be very drinkable.
Notes: this beer is very different, the complexity of the flavors and the uniqueness of this one make it worth trying.

From the December seasonal 6-pak, and back-to-back to the Uber Oatmeal. I liked the soft parade, and the imperial soft parade. It tastes 50%/50%, and thankfully the peanut taste comes out, and the berry tastes. it is dark with a great brown head, and lots of lace. Funky aroma, a little lambic. The sourness from the guber portion is there, and it is masked by the berry flavours, so better than the guber alone. Above average mouthfeel, but a shock sourness to the palate.

12oz bottle into Bugges tulip.
A: Good head retention on the deep brown body, a creamy tan head holds well, and leaves a decent amount of lace.
S: The aroma shows a good bit of the "jelly" aspect of the brew, hints at a tart raspberry, or grape lambic. Nice sour aroma, but not too much peanut butter aspect.
T/M: Nice and and tart up front, with a lingering sourness. The body is smooth and lightly clean. The finish is nutty and does add a nice note of peanut butter.
O: Overall great experiential brew, nice finish and all in all super cool tart/sour beer.

Again another great bottle from eyebrews! From notes
A: Dark black and somewhat syrupy with a nice fluffy brown head about an qaurter in thick. The head retention is very good but there is no lacing.
S: It smells just like PB&J! It has the mild peanut butter flavor followed by some crusty wheat bread(i eat mine on wheat) and then there is the sweetness from the raspberry and grape jelly! Some may not enjoy this because it is different than lots of beers out there but this one brought out the kid in me.(even though i am still pretty young)
T: Again just like PB&J. The jelly is up front with lots of fruity sweetness and then it finishes with a nice Peanut Butter note in the finish.
M: There is a slight bit of harshness to this and it is a bit light, but there is some creaminess as well.
D: At first just a little bit went a long way but the more I start sipping it the more i was enjoying it. One bottle at a time is very tasty but i cant wait to try it again

I bought a 12 oz. bottle from the Beer Baron Liquor Store in Livonia, Michigan. Dark pour with very little head. Sour fruit aroma. This beer actually tastes like a pb&j sandwich. Nothing like it!! I'd drink this again, but I prefer the Uber Goober Stout.

Thanks to a generous Michigan BA for the chance to try this brew!
Pours black with a nice tan head and some fairly nice lacing.
Smells like peanut butter! I also get a little hint of sweet fruit and coffee.
I get a lot of the same melted plastic taste up front that I got in Soft Parade. Seriously off-putting. However, once I let it warm slightly that disappears and the fruit opens up quite a bit. Raspberries and strawberries are present. The peanut butter hangs around in your mouth like real peanutbutter does. Pretty cool idea.
The feel is creamy, yet light.
Overall this was pretty tasty. I'll probably give it another shot.

12oz bottle shared by bring - thanks, Barry!This is one hell of an interesting beer, even if it's a bit infected. They combined Uber Goober and Soft Parade to make a whole that's better than the parts (slightly better than Uber Goober, way better than Soft Parade).
Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head that really lasts a long time.
Aroma is, well, PB&J, not surprisingly. Peanut butter and red berries are both very prominent, and there's also, as with Uber Goober, a hint of tartness.
Flavor is somewhat tart and lactic - unintentionally I'm assuming - with big time PB&J and mild roast. The jelly seems to be sort of a strawberry/raspberry blend, and a very tasty one, which surprises me a bit since I didn't care much for Soft Parade.
Medium-bodied with high carbonation - a bit too high in my opinion - and mild acidity.
Decent drinkability. Overall, a very interesting beer, and not bad, even with the tartness.

A large search party found a veteran Waukegan police officer was found dead in a wooded area north of Antioch near his home Thursday morning in what police believe was a suicide.
Peter Michaels, 42, of Antioch, died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Lake County Coroner's office.
Michaels, who was sergeant with the Waukegan police department, was reported missing to Antioch police by his family from their Tiffany Farms subdivision home at 6 a.m. Wednesday, according to sources. He was last seen Tuesday night, and had left his cellphone and car keys behind at home.
About 120 members of law enforcement and explorer groups, as well as K9 teams, made up the search party that spread out about 8 a.m. in the area of North Avenue and Trevor Road on Thursday morning. Some police dogs apparently started following a scent and searchers found the body about 9 a.m. in a wooded thicket off of Trevor Road, about eighth of a mile from North Avenue.
Two schools about a quarter mile away from the search area were placed on soft lockdown due to the heavy police presence in the area.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Fitz's Four-Course Fantasy Feast
Given how injuries have disrupted San Diego's offense, the Chargers RB who intrigues Pat Fitzmaurice this week from a fantasy perspective is Darren Sproles.
Raiders' Heyward-Bey still underachieving
Although his production has picked up from an invisible rookie season, Oakland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey still isn't recording the type of numbers expected of the 2009 first-round draft choice, according to AFC West Whispers.
Chargers RB Mathews nursing high ankle sprain
Chargers rookie RB Ryan Mathews was held out of practice Wednesday and is not sure if he will play this Sunday as he nurses a high ankle sprain.
Chargers' Mathews not running from big expectations
Before he has ever taken a handoff for the Chargers, rookie RB Ryan Mathews has found himself with nowhere to run from the fans and media, all wanting to know how he'll replace a legend.

Sproles not breaking games open as returner
With the ball in his hands, the Chargers' Darren Sproles remains one of the league's most dangerous players. But in the return game, some of the jolt he provided the team in 2008 has been missing this season.
‹‹ previous 1 2 next ››
Sproles is active for Sunday's game against San Francisco.||||||| Sproles had missed three straight games with a broken left hand.
Sproles had a career-high 13 receptions for 128 yards in a 35-27 loss to Carolina on Sunday.||||||| This could be the beginning of increase touches for the running back or he could regress back to the mean. Sproles has averaged 5.8 catches since joining New Orleans at the beginning of last season.
Sproles will not play in the next preseason game against Jacksonville on Friday night because knee soreness.||||||| Sproles was one of several players who sat out Monday's practice, the first since the Saints played at New England last Thursday night.
Sproles caught 15 passes for 119 yards and one TD in Saturday's 36-32 postseason loss at San Francisco.||||||| Sproles showcased his dual-threat ability with only three carries for three yards on the ground, however. He made up for it through the air by hooking up with Drew Brees.
Sproles had 40 yards rushing, 29 yards receiving and 99 yards on kickoff and punt returns during Sunday's 45-17 rout of Carolina.||||||| Sproles finished the season with an NFL record 2,696 combined yards, breaking the previous mark of 2,690, set by Derrick Mason with Tennessee in 2000. Sproles will certainly be a hot commodity heading into 2012 drafts, and is all but certain to come at a hefty price following his tremendous campaign.

When city leaders voted to change Augusta's trash service, most residents had no idea how it would effect them. But as garbage collection changed from two days a week to one day a week, a lot of you contacted us about problems with the service. So three months later, we wanted to get your thoughts on it.
Two months ago, Douglas Churchville had some major problems with Augusta's new trash service.
"It's just a nuisance. You see trash up and down the street. Driving around, it makes the neighborhood look trashy," Churchville says.
Back then, Churchville said the garbage truck missed his house a few times... and when it did pickup his trash, he said it often left debris behind.
Tuesday evening, we spoke with Churchville again to see how he felt about the trash service now.
"I'm feeling a lot better, they've gotten a whole lot better about coming by and picking the trash up. They're not leaving trash in the road," Churchville says.
Churchville says the employee attitudes have also gotten better.
"I've talked to a couple of guys that have come to pick up the trash. They seem to be very cooperative and respectful to me," he says.
Landfill Director Mark Johnson says most of Augusta is happy with the new service, and the fact it changed from twice a week to one day a week.
"Going to one time a week has been one of the least painful parts, at least from a complaint standpoint," Johnson says.
But Churchville disagrees with that statement.
"It still needs to go back to two days a week," Churchville says.
He says even though he has two trash cans and a recycling can, his trash can overflow from time to time.
"We have guests that come over a lot and I have three kids in the house, so we generate a lot of trash," Churchville says.
Overall, Churchville says he would give the service a B+ because it still has room for improvement. For the time being, he has come up with his own solution for the problems.
"There are times when I don't want to leave my trash in the yard because of my neighbors. I respect my neighbors and they don't want to see trash laying in somebody's yard. So when the cans are overflowing, I have to put the trash in the pickup and find a place to dump my trash," Churchville says.
Landfill officials prepared a
review of the first 60 days of trash service. They say one of the lessons
learned is that the city did not do a good enough job of marketing the new
service before it started.

Fearing for her life, a Cape Coral woman fought back. The 21-year-old came face-to-face with a would-be robber, who threatened to shoot her in the head if she didn't give up her purse.
Now, her attacker is in jail and the victim shared her story exclusively with NBC2.
Ariel Moceri says she thought her life was over.
"I was terrified. He said he had a gun, I believed him," she said.
The 21-year old was on her way home from work Tuesday night when a car pulled up behind her.
"Out of nowhere this car came behind me flashing the lights and honking the horn," Moceri described.
At first, she said she thought it was just kids messing around. It wasn't until she pulled into her driveway that she realized the man in the car behind her - Brent Gerenda -was following her.
"I was lucky enough to be in my driveway and that my parents were home. I beeped over and over again and screamed and my dad said the only thing he heard was 'driveway' and 'help,'" Moceri said.
Moceri's dad ran outside saying he saw the suspect struggling with his daughter through the driver's side window. He called 9-1-1.
"At least she was able to draw attention by honking horn, screaming, making a phone call," said Lt. Tony Sizemore, with the Cape Coral Police Department.
Police were able to catch Gerenda thanks to Moceri's detailed description. Lt. Sizemore says you should never drive home if you think you're being followed.
"You want to be where there are sets of eyed and ears people with phones who can help you," he explained.
Luckily for Moceri, her parents were home and heard her cries for help.
"I felt fear for my life. He deserves to go to jail," she said.
Gerenda is charged with felony burglary with battery.

How to Stand Out at Work: 10 Tips for Programmers (Part 1)
I've been in the IT industry for almost 8 years working in 4 different companies. During this time I had a chance to work with a couple of dozens of programmers. They were different. I observed some of them successfully developing their career; some were satisfied with their position and continued working many years for the same company performing similar tasks; a few have been fired. Based on my observations I came up with a list of tips, which, in my opinion, can help programmers to succeed at their current workplace. Here it is:
1) Don't Hesitate to Ask Questions
I noticed that some programmers hesitate to ask for help from the very first days in the company, e.g. when they encounter problems with the project environment set up or when they work on a task but don't fully understand the business flow behind it. It's not a big deal – just ask for assistance or clarification. Otherwise you'll waste a lot of time struggling with a typical project-related problem or guessing what should be the correct application behavior in this or that particular case.
Another problem is hesitation to ask questions even when you're expected to do so. For example, last year a lead developer and a manager of our company were visiting our regional office to get to know us (developers) in person and to give a few presentations. They asked us to prepare a list of topics and questions we'd like them to present and clarify to us. I was surprised to see that only a few people contributed to this list, although the range of possible questions was unlimited, from "why are we using a NoSQL database in that particular module" to "what features of the application are the most popular among our clients". Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially in such cases.
2) Search for a Niche
It often happens that several company projects or project modules lack resources. This means that either when you just start working for a company or finish your current project, there's a chance that you'll be able to choose or at least let your manager know about your preference project- and task-wise. Many people tend to join the newest project or feature. Some prefer to join a team, where a few of their close colleagues already work.
In my opinion, it's better to do the opposite – choose a project or a feature that's not known by many other fellow developers. When I had such choice, I've chosen a task from a module only 1 person specialized on. Initially I had to spend more time getting familiar with the business flow and existing code. But later, when I already knew the module well enough, it turned out there's a lot of new stuff to be implemented in it. More and more new features have been requested by the managers. Not surprisingly, I was asked to implement many of them as well as was one of the first points of contact for developers, who started getting involved in this module after me.
3) Get Familiar with the "Big Picture" of the Application
Nowadays almost all of the enterprise applications are fairly complex and consist of many modules that might be using completely different technologies. For instance, the current application I work on consists of 3 parts:
- a module that interacts with social networks and collects data;
- a module that processes all the collected data;
- a UI module
Each of the modules is developed and maintained by a separate team of developers. The modules are different technology-wise but related business-wise. This means that whenever a new feature is introduced, it affects in most cases all the 3 modules.
There aren't that many people, though, who understand the whole business flow. So, whenever a new feature is discussed, the managers tend to involve people who can make a top level assessment of changes that will be required in each of the modules. So, if you know the big picture, you have a better chance to get involved in such discussions.
Besides, when you know the big picture, you understand the kind and complexity of tasks that are being performed in each of the modules. Thus, there's a chance that some tasks and technologies, used in one of the modules, will become particularly interesting for you. Remember that it's much easier to switch to a new technology within the company where you're already considered a senior developer, than to start searching for a new job.
4) Do What You Need to Do, Not What You Like to Do
Some very talented programmers suffer from a serious issue – they have a specific field of interests and whenever they're asked to do something different, they show poor performance and quality, because they can't concentrate on the stuff they don't like to do. For instance, people might love experimenting with Scala, but have to deal with Hibernate or native SQL; they might love concurrency, but have to assist with the front end-related work.
If you're one of such programmers and have to permanently deal with the technologies that you can't stand – you probably need to change the job. Otherwise, if you just temporarily need to help other developers in the areas you don't really like – you have to show the professionalism and do a good job anyway. Just remind your managers about your preferences, so that they don't ask you to work on that stuff too often.
The same is applicable to the tasks with different priorities. It might sound obvious, but remember: you have to pick up the one with the higher priority, even though the one with the lower priority looks way more interesting to you. Be a professional!
5) Share Your Knowledge and Help Your Colleagues
Have you ever encountered colleagues who are way more productive when working alone? This might be an indicator of poor communication skills. Sometimes it gets even worse – believe it or not, some developers don't really want to share their knowledge. Kind of a selfish attitude, eh? Such people wish either to be irreplaceable or to make sure their colleagues face all the issues they had to face to make their life as hard as their own. No wonder that such behavior gets noticed fairly quickly by fellow developers and managers and doesn't give any credit to such "lone wolfs".
Moreover, when you're working in a regional office, remember: if one of your colleagues doesn't do his job well, the whole office suffers in terms of reputation. So, if you can help your colleague – just do it, it's a win-win solution.
This was the first part of the blog. In the next part I'll describe another 5 tips that can help you to stand out at work. Stay tuned!

Not asking questions is an extremely common problem. I think it is mostly because programmers are proud and afraid to admit ignorance (an upfront failure) in any form, even though this is how we learn and grow. Asking questions is often just being efficient/expedient and reducing risk and others are usually glad to help. Questions are often less about technical knowledge and more about company specific environment, process, or apps/infrastructure, so pride has nothing to do with it anyway. There is definitely no excuse for not getting the correct project requirements or digging to find out where you can get them.
There is also the distrust issue. If I don't know a tool or framework I'll learn it on my own: online, from a book, or from experimentation. This is very understandable, since other programmers who have knowledge and experience with a subject often don't know it well and are a poor source of advice to someone learning the fundamentals and core best practices.
Lion Libaax replied on Wed, 2013/06/05 - 1:56pm
Nice points, but there is also the company culture and racism. I have seen some people who always do all those points and more, but they have never been recognized for their contribution and commitment. In my observation, know your company culture and your manager very well and act accordingly. Just know that we are equal but not equal

If you're clever, you can take #4 and make it work in your favor while benefiting your company at the same time. For instance, lets say you enjoy playing with mongodb, but your company isn't doing big data and doesn't seem interested in it. Develop a value justification and present it to your team on why they should use mongo and how the firm could benefit from its use. If they go for it, it's a win-win for all; if they don't, at least you'll be viewed amongst your colleagues as someone takes initiative and promotes new ideas, and that's a good quality to have in any regard, not just in the office.
David Altenhoff replied on Fri, 2013/06/21 - 5:19pm
#1 often tends to be frustrating because so few IT people are any good at #5. Only a few IT people are any good at explaining new concepts to others. Some perhaps just assume that you know more than what you do. Some don't want to take the time. Some are protective of "their" area. My experience is that you are likely to get more good information out of non-techies than techies.

When asking questions of techies, my strategy is to learn as much as I can about the concepts/technologies first. Then hit them with as many *specific* questions as possible. That way they can't tell you, "Um, you can just look at the code and kind of see what's going on."

Tackling climate change delivers better air quality for Europe
Tackling climate change will improve Europe's air quality, cut premature deaths and could save 12 billion EUR annually in air pollution control costs by 2030, a new EEA report says. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, by burning smaller amounts of fossil fuels, will mean less air pollution. As a result the cost of tackling air pollution will be cut significantly.
The upcoming report, 'Air quality and ancillary benefits from climate change policies' states that stringent EU climate change policies (aimed at limiting temperature rise to 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels by 2030) will offer extra or 'ancillary' benefits. Not only will tougher climate change policies help clean up Europe's air quality, they will also reduce the annual number of premature deaths caused by air pollution. The report acknowledges that specific air pollution policy will still be needed.

Danville party plans are final

I plan on riding my bike to this event - it's not often that something like this happens. The only other times Danville closes roads and tons of people gather is for the car shows and town/country anniversaries.
on Jan 24, 2009 at 12:54 am
I have been moved by recent events and prepared a total of
five videos honoring the heroic acts of Captain Chelsey
"Sully" Sullenberger, his experienced, disciplined, and
well-trained Flight Crew and all the other hero "first
responders", public safety and Joe-citizen alike, who gave
selflessly of themselves and made the remarkable events of
US Airways Flight 1549 indeed a "Miracle on the Hudson",
saving the lives of all 155 people on board.
Two special videos incorporate radio recordings of the New
York Fire Department and CAD text of the actual FDNY
incident and could also serve for training purposes of
this successful water rescue of a plane crash.
A special birthday gift video to hero pilot Captain
Chelsea Sullenberger was posted yesterday on his birthday,
January 23rd, 2008:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=YStnEU6e-58 and I hope to
present a specially prepared DVD honoring all the heroes
of Flight 1549 both the Capt. Sullenberger and his family
and to Danville's Mayor Newell Arnerich
at Saturday's well deserved return to a
home-town hero's welcome.
Perhaps you can advise me on what
would be the best way of presenting my tribute video,
While I work for the San Francisco's Department of
Emergency Management, not as any official act. It will
be presented to them as an out of respect as a
professional and public servant. I was twice elected to
San Bruno City Council, first at the age of 24 and served
also served as Mayor prior to my start as a San Francisco
Police Dispatcher and 911/SF Public Safety Dispatcher for
the past 27 years.
Time, persons and events move me to create special video
presentations as G-Shots TV. My tribute video to President
Barack Obama was posted on Inauguration Day January 20th
2008: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cjs7AhL1Rk and I was
pleased that the President invited Capt. Sullenberger, his
wife and flight crew to share the joyous day as we
celebrated the rebirth of America based upon a renewed
faith in our ideals, purpose and history.
Both Google and YouTUBE carry my videos under my
'GShotsTV' ID and on my Web Site: www.GShotsTV.com

On tap at the brewery.
Appearance: deep murky purple with a lighter purple head. One of the more striking looking beers I've seen.
Nose: Pure raspberry puree. There's a hint of malts hiding in the background but just imagine the richest raspberry dessert you've ever had and that's what you've got.
Taste: Intensely, overwhelmingly raspberry. A bit sweeter than I expected with much less tartness. If they did a wild/lacto-ed version of this it would be incredible. For someone who doesn't really like overly berry-forward things, I still found this to be an incredibly rich and tasty brew. Oh yeah there's a bit of breadiness under the berries but it's barely noticable.
Mouthfeel: I wish it was a bit fuller, but overall pretty nice.
Overall: Impressive that this much raspberry flavor can be pumped into a beer. Definitely something I'd only want once, but I'm glad to have tried one and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The beer pours a deep rusty maroon capped by an inch of a creamy neon pink head that laces. The nose is fresh picked, sweet raspberries, almost too sweet for my taste. As expected, the sweetness packs an even bigger punch in the taste, but blends well with the hearty raspberries and malt. It reminds me of blushing monk, but is definitely different (side-by-side?). This beer drinks with a near full body, slightly under carbonated, with sweet raspberries up front followed by an unexpected tannin-like bitterness in the finish. It's quite balanced and doesn't drink overly sweet. This beer is worth trying at the brewery and much better than their IPA in my opinion.

I stand atop a spiral stair
An oracle confronts me there
He leads me on light years away
Through astral nights, galactic days
I see the works of gifted hands
That grace this strange and wondrous land
I see the hand of man arise
With hungry mind and open eyes
(Review #2112)
Dark ruby red pour, either it was opaque or just appeared to be in the dim light of the bar. The beer was pretty flat, no head at all, and little to no noticeable bubbling. Well it is supposed to be a Flanders red and not a genuine framboise (though I don't really know why they call it that anyway). Sweet raspberry aroma, slightly acidic (acetic), earthy. Taste was full of raspberry puree, mostly sweet with a touch of vinegar tartness, bready malts and some earthiness. Syrupy mouthfeel, low carbonation made it pretty mellow. Not bad, but not nearly as good as the kriek.

Big thanks to DaveHack for this pour.
This poured out as a vibrant red color with basically no head or retention. The smell of the beer has a big sweet raspberry aroma, lots of sugar in there. The taste of the beer is very sweet, lots of syrupy raspberry. The flavor isn't very tart. The mouthfeel of the beer is light bodied with a healthy carbonation. Overall it's very sweet, possibly appealing to a lot of people. I enjoyed it but not something I'll need again.

Poured from a fresh growler into a tulip glass. Has a really nice pink hue with a link pink head. Raspberry aroma hits the nose first and it is nice and powerful, not much else going on. The first sip hits the tongue and its tart raspberry and some sweetness from the malt. They work very well together. The beer is not overly sweet, the tartness of the raspberries keeps everything is check. It has a nice smooth medium to full bodied mouth feel. Carbonation was on the lighter side. I really enjoyed this beer. .

S - Tart, pungent, essence of raspberries. Not sweet swelling. Don't detect much else.
T - Tart raspberry wallops the tongue. There's just enough of a malt backbone to let you know you are drinking beer. They must have used a whole field of raspberries to make this beer. It's not sweet like a Lindemans. I'm at a loss for words to describe how good this is. I'd have it as an aperitif, with a meal and for desert.
M - Medium body and light carbonation. Sticky, prickly and I think I got some raspberry seeds stuck in my teeth. Just right.
O - This is sublime. I hearby declare this the best fruit beer I have ever had. Tops their own Phoenix Kriek and I agree with the previous reviewer, it tops the New Glarus Raspberry Tart. Wow.

From CWU Athletics
ELLENSBURG, Wash. -- Senior quarterback Ryan Robertson (Sammamish, Wash./Eastlake HS) completed 23 of 29 passes for 240 yards and a season-high three touchdowns, including the game-winner with 3:05 remaining, as Central Washington University survived Western Oregon University, 36-32, in Great Northwest Athletic Conference football action on Saturday afternoon at Tomlinson Stadium.
The Wildcats snapped a two-game losing streak and, combined with a loss by Humboldt State University on Saturday, CWU moved into a first-place tie in the GNAC standings at 6-3 in conference play. The Wildcats are now 6-4 overall, while Western Oregon fell to 5-5 overall and 5-4 in the GNAC.
Robertson completed his first 11 passes, and 16 of 18 in the first half, as the Wildcats built a commanding 24-3 halftime lead. The CWU lead remained intact into the third quarter, as the hosts scored a safety on a blocked punt by junior Stan Langlow (University Place, Wash./Curtis HS) and a field goal by senior Sean Davis (Federal Way, Wash./Todd Beamer HS), while Western Oregon managed just a touchdown in the period on its opening series, and the Wildcats took a 29-10 advantage into the final quarter.
Western Oregon mounted its comeback throughout the period, scoring on its first offensive series and then closing to within a five-point margin after Lucas Gonsalves' 89-yard punt return for a touchdown. The Wolves then took their only lead of the game on a 30-yard halfback pass from Joe Harris to Antoinne Wafer with 6:19 remaining, and the two-point conversion made it a 32-29 count in favor of WOU.
Robertson engineered a Wildcat rally on its very next series, however. Completions to senior Tavoy Moore (Long Beach, Calif./Gahr HS) on two of the first three plays of the drive took the ball to midfield, and freshman Jordan Todd (Bellevue, Wash./Interlake HS) then had four consecutive carries to take the ball into the red zone. Robertson then found senior Anthony Spain (Grants Pass, Ore./North Valley HS) for a 19-yard scoring strike on a play where Spain made the catch from the seat of his pants after slipping inside the end zone.
Western Oregon began to ascend down the field, aided by a 27-yard pass play and 15-yard CWU penalty on its second play of the series that gave the Wolves possession at the Wildcats' 42. WOU would get as close as the 23 yard line with third and six in the final minute, but a sack by junior Gabe Bruno (San Francisco, Calif./St. Ignatius Prep) sent the Wolves back 12 yards and the visitors turned it over on downs after a fourth-down incompletion.
Todd finished as the game's leading rusher with 90 yards on 18 carries, filling in for senior Demetrius Sumler (San Diego, Calif./Cathedral Catholic HS), who left the game in the first half due to injury and did not return after a 37-yard, nine-carry performance. Moore and Spain were the Wildcats' top two receivers with nine and six catches, respectively.
Ryan Bergman completed just 14 of 30 passes for Western Oregon, but netted 229 yards and two touchdowns on those 14 completions.
CWU finished the game with a 379-271 edge in total offense, and the Wildcats did not have a turnover for just the second time this season.
The Wildcats will finish their 2012 season next Saturday (Nov. 10) when they host Dixie State on Senior Day at Tomlinson Stadium. Kickoff versus the Red Storm is set for noon Pacific Standard Time.

|Lady Jeffcats roll over Bearcats
|Friday, February 01, 2013 2:15 PM
The Lady Wildcats used a big first quarter to beat the Lady Bearcats 73-52.
Jefferson went on a 16-0 run to start the game, lasting most of the first quarter, getting five points from Gabby Pimpas, another five from Hannah Sensibaugh and a 3-point play from Rileigh Stockwell. The Lady Bearcats got a foul shot from Caitlyn Propst to end the first quarter and make the score 16-1, Jefferson.
The second quarter was a back-and-forth battle between both teams. Halfway through, Spencerville's Karri Purdy and Schylar Miller knocked down 3-pointers in between a Jefferson 3-pointer (Katie Goergens) to make the score 25-12.
To end the period, Spencerville got a layup from Purdy and Jefferson got two foul shots from Brooke Culp, making the score going 37-21 at the break.
In the third quarter, Spencerville's Jacey Grigsby knocked down a jumper to make the score 46-30, Jefferson. After that jumper, the Wildcats went on another 16-0 run, which included seven points from Sensibaugh, to make it 62-30. Spencerville got a 3-pointer from Alyssa Mulholland to make the final third-quarter score 62-33.
The Bearcats outscored the Wildcats 19-11 in the final quarter. Spencerville got eight points from Mulholland, four points from Abby Freewalt and another four from Miller. Freewalt got the final basket of the game, which made the final score 73-52.
The Lady Wildcats had five girls in double digits: Pimpas had 18 points, Stockwell and Goergens added in 14 points, Sensibaugh 11 points and Culp 10.
The Lady Bearcats had two girls in double figures, with Miller and Mulholland each scoring 14 points on the night.
"We played very well tonight. We had good ball movement tonight, much better then we have had all year," Jefferson head coach Dave Hoffman said. "We started to shoot with confidence. I thought we played very hard on defense and we got contributions from a whole lot of players tonight. Scoring-wise, that is what we need. We aren't going to have the one person to score a lot of points."
"I thought we came out slow, sluggish, and I thought Jefferson came out with a great game plan. Jefferson got some buckets and got some confidence," Spencerville coach Warren Pughsley said. "They were on fire. I tried to tell the girls in the beginning, it's their gym; they shoot here every day, so you can't just assume since somebody is not shooting well that they will continue to not shoot well. They started making shots and got a big lead and in the second half — at some point — I must have upset somebody because there was a shift in the communication I would expect from them. The Jefferson girls played hard and my girls played hard."
The loss drops Spencerville to 2-16 and 1-7 on the year. They visit New Bremen Tuesday.

Yesterday on Twitter, Teju Cole shared a series of definitions—some ironic, some
hilarious funny, all perceptive.
SUNSET. Beautiful. Like a painting. Post on Instagram and hashtag "no filter."—
Teju Cole (@tejucole) August 27, 2013
The series of definitions immediately reminded me of Ambrose Bierce's sardonic work The Devil's Dictionary, but Cole later tweeted that he had Gustave Flaubert's Le Dictionnaire des Idées Reçues (The Dictionary of Received Ideas) in mind as a model.
So, this has been more a matter of Flaubert's Dictionary of Received Ideas than Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary (or Johnson, or Twain).—
Teju Cole (@tejucole) August 27, 2013
Cole reiterated Flaubert's influence again when he published the tweets today at The New Yorker under the title "In Place of Thought"—a little sample:
AMERICAN. With the prefix "all," a blonde.
CHILDREN. The only justification for policy. Always say "our children." The childless have no interest in improving society.
HILARIOUS. Never simply say "funny."
HIP HOP. Old-school hip hop, i.e., whatever was popular when you were nineteen, is great. Everything since then is intolerable.
HIPSTER. One who has an irrational hatred of hipsters.
INTERNET. A waste of time. Have a long online argument with anyone who disagrees.
JAZZ. America's classical music. The last album was released in 1965.
LITERALLY. Swear you'd rather die than use "literally" as an intensifier.
POET. Always preceded by "published." Function unknown.
Bonus—from Flaubert's Dictionnaire:
BLACK – Always preceded by "pitch".
CHILDREN – Affect a lyric tenderness towards them, when people are about.
INTRODUCTION — Obscene word.
LITERATURE — Idle pastime.
METAPHORS — Always too many in poems. Always too many in anybody's writing.
OPTIMIST — Synonym for imbecile.
POETRY — Entirely useless; out of date.
THINK (TO) — Painful. Things that compel us to think are generally neglected.

MAPUTO, Mozambique —
Tensions are also growing between political factions. Late last month, a former rebel leader, Afonso Dhlakama, returned to his forest hideout, along with 800 armed guerrillas. According to news reports, he has accused the government of not meeting his demands, which include integrating more of his former fighters into the nation's military and sharing control of Mozambique's newfound wealth.
"These days, any politician can say, 'If you don't give me what I want, I will go back to war.' And there are people willing to join him," said Boaventura Zita, the national coordinator for the Christian Council's project to gather weapons. "That's why we have to keep a dialogue of peace and reconciliation going."
Since its inception, the project has taken tens of thousands of weapons out of circulation. This year, the project has gathered 600 weapons, mostly Kalashnikov rifles, said Luis. In exchange for the weapons, the council hands out bicycles, ploughs and other farming tools and sewing machines.
The weapons are then brought to Maputo, the capital, and given to sculptors like Mabunda, who turn them into artistic symbols of peace. They work in workshops or in their houses. Mabunda's sculptures have been the most prominent.
His work is post-modern, even Cubist, reminiscent of Picasso. He has created ghoulish faceless masks that depict the horrors of war, and thrones made of weapons to symbolize how some African leaders manipulate politics and use violence to cling to power.
But Mabunda said the most important part of his work is its power to transform instruments of the death into tools of peace.
"This is important not only for Mozambique, but for the whole world," he said. "You can use the same weapons to make something useful — and not to kill."
The project, Luis said, will continue on as long as there is funding. Today, a Japanese non-governmental agency provides much of the financing, along with a few American church groups.
"Nobody knows how many guns were imported into Mozambique during the war," Luis said. "We know there's still a lot to do. Our dream one day is to say there are zero weapons in Mozambique."

Capital as well as cultural and business center of the Piedmont region, Turin is famous as headquarters of Fiat and Lancia, birthplace of Telecom Italia and Rai television and host of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Turin has a modern public transport infrastructure so it is easy to get to architectural sites and museums, most notably the Mole Antonelliana, which is the home of the National Cinema Museum. Home to Torino and Juventus, two historical italian football teams, the region is famous as the birth place of solid chocolate over 200 years ago. Gianduiotto is perhaps the most famous Turin chocolate currently in production.

Passengers on a New Zealand-Australia Qantas flight that was the subject of a bomb scare arrived in Sydney on Sunday afternoon.
Flight QF142 was turned back to Auckland about 90 minutes into its journey to Sydney on Sunday morning after a suspicious item was reported to have been found on board.
Qantas said Auckland police had met the plane on arrival and conducted checks on the aircraft.
NZ police said in a statement that the item had turned out to be a part of the interior of the aircraft that was not normally visible.
A spokeswoman for Qantas said the aircraft landed safely and without incident, and did not make an emergency landing.
''The flight returned to Auckland as a precaution after an unidentified item was found on board,'' she said in a statement on Sunday.
She said the passengers resumed their flight to Sydney at 1320 local time after police checks cleared the aircraft.
Earlier, the "suspicious item" that forced the jet to return to Auckland turned out to be part of the plane's interior that is not normally visible.

"You're telling us that within the next two or three weeks, these tires are all going to be gone," said FOX 29's Bruce Gordon.
"Yes. Yes. You come back and I'll show you," he replied.
"We're going to take you up on that offer." Bruce told him.
That was the owner of an auto repair shop, exactly five weeks ago, assuring our Bruce Gordon that he would clean up a mountain of old tires, dumped illegally on his property by a couple of former tenants.
Today, Bruce paid him a visit. Ebrahim Shaji seemed almost happy to see us, even though he had to know why we were back.
"You'll recall about five weeks ago, we visited you and you said in two to three weeks you'd have all these tires out here," says Bruce. "And I don't see them all out of here."
Shaji told us that the tires piled on his property, 16,000 of them last December and nearly 6,000 at the end of July, were now down to about 3,000. He explained that moving these tires hasn't been easy.
"You cannot just take them out and dump them anywhere. I don't want to make my problem become someone else's problem. We have to take it to the right recycling place," says Shaji.
Nor has it been cheap.
"It's money," admits Shaji.
But with FOX 29 and the state Department of Environmental Protection breathing down his neck and neighbors growing angrier with each mosquito they swat, Shaji made us a new promise.
"What is your best guesstimate for when you can have this lot cleared?" asks Bruce.
"Ooohhh, if everything, money-wise, works, maybe another two week, at the most. Hopefully," says Shaji.
"You really think you can do it in two weeks," asks Bruce.
"I hope so, yes," he replies.
"That's a lot of tires to get out of here in two weeks," comments Bruce.
"Yes, yes," Shaji says.
Since our original report, a new wrinkle has come to light that has changed everything. It could even be called a crack, two huge cracks in the side wall of the garage of Shaji's repair shop. The city's Department of Licenses and Inspections calls these longtime cracks a major hazard, and, on August 19th, ordered Shaji's shop closed for safety reasons. So how does he make money to pay for tire removal?
"I don't know. I don't know. I mean, honest to God, that's what I'm stuck with," he says.
Making mountains into molehills just got tougher. But FOX 29 will make sure it happens.
Have problems? Tell us.

The limits of Spanish air space and its division into Flight Information Regions
The world's airspace –as the medium in which air transport is carried out– is divided into nine large air traffic control regions. One of these is Europe, EUR. This configuration was established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which subdivides them, in turn, into flight information regions.
The boundaries of these regions do not coincide with national divisions, but are established according to the control requirements of each geographical area. They are also used to assign the identification codes to the airports and navigation aids. In the case of Spain, this delimitation does not correspond with its territorial borders, nor with its jurisdictional waters, but is the result of international agreements, according to the services to be rendered in that airspace.
Each flight information region is vertically divided into two zones: a lower airspace, FIR, or Flight Information Region, which includes the space between the ground and flight level FL 245, and an upper space, UIR, or upper Information Region, which extends from flight level FL 245 to an unlimited altitude.
In turn, to improve the efficiency of the existing volume of air traffic, the FIR is subdivided into different sectors: the control areas, control zones and aerodrome traffic zones.

Holiday Fund: How crisis intervention by StarVista helps teens

Since I started working for Star Vista in July of 2011 there are several things that continues to impress me about the company. First and foremost is the real value of the companies services. Privacy prevents me from commenting specifically about individual cases but I can say that the company staff is top knotch and very well trained
and managed. When these factors are combined its the community overall that is really the benificiary of Victorias story.
on Jan 2, 2012 at 3:57 pm
StarVista (formerly Youth and Family Enrichment Services) receives more than 80% of its funding from government sources (tax dollars), including a recent $75,000 grant from the Sequoia Healthcare District. See: Web Link As a Board Member, I objected to this use of tax dollars for charitable purposes.
They are a quasi-government agency.
on Jan 30, 2012 at 5:29 pm
I am the CEO of StarVista and take exception to Mr. Hickey's comment. Yes, our organization receives contracts from various departments in the County of San Mateo to perform vital services to children, youth, adults and families living in our community. The County of San Mateo recognizes that we can perform some of the services at a lower cost than the county. We leverage the dollars we receive from the county with foundation grants, private donations and grants from both the Sequoia Healthcare District and the Peninsula Health Care District.
What would Mr. Hickey suggest we use our tax dollars for if not to provide these services? Who better to spend our tax dollars on than the children and families living in our community. Does Mr. Hickey believe that tax dollars spent on suicide prevention, early childhood education, and homeless youth is not valued by our community.
StarVista is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)organization and is not a quasi-government agency. There are many nonprofit organizations like ours who serve this community and should be recognized for their work and the benefit they provide to so many people living in San Mateo County.
on Dec 7, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Michael said: "There are many nonprofit organizations like ours who serve this community and should be recognized for their work and the benefit they provide to so many people living in San Mateo County." True. St. Anthony de Padua Dining Room is one of them. They received my support until they accepted a grant of taxpayer dollars from my Sequoia Healthcare District. See: Web Link

Nearly two tonnes of drugs seized at North East port
Border Force officers based at North Shields ferry terminal have seized 1.6 tonnes of cannabis that was bound for the UK.
The drugs were concealed inside a lorry load of lip balm and plastic bottles which arrived on the ferry coming over from Amsterdam.
The drugs were seized on Wednesday 14th November at around ten o'clock in the morning.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) will now be investigating the matter.
– Sam Bullimore, Border Force
"We are determined to make life as difficult as possible for those involved in drug smuggling.
We have strong controls in place at all our ports. Our officers use the latest technology, sniffer dogs and their own considerable expertise and experience to protect the UK from banned substances.
We will continue to work with partner agencies, both in this country and abroad in the fight against illegal drug smuggling. We would also encourage anyone with information about suspected smuggling to get in touch."
Anyone with information about activity they suspect may be linked to smuggling can call the smuggling hotline on 0800 59 5000.

Cruz Lands Unanimous A-Sun Academic All-Conference Selection
FORT MYERS, Fla. – With the announcement of the inaugural Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference team on Thursday, sophomore FGCU men's cross country runner Argeo Cruz (Immokalee, Fla./Immokalee HS) was tabbed with one of three unanimous selections to the team.
"This is certainly well-deserved recognition for Argeo, as he is what FGCU strives for in a student-athlete," said fourth-year head coach Cassandra Harbin. "He gets the job done in the classroom, as well as, in the competitive arena, and I am very proud of him for this honor."
Holding a 3.59 GPA, the civil engineering major has been the top finisher for the Eagles in four of the six competitions this season, including a first place finish at the season-opening FGCU Invitational.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has still not practiced in weeks, but Lovie Smith expects that to change in the coming week. Smith also told reporters on Tuesday that he fully expects Urlacher to be on the field when the Bears take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 at Solider Field Sept. 9.
The Bears will not practice again until Monday Sept. 3, but Smith did not indicate if that was the scheduled date for Urlacher's return. The Bears will have a walk-through on Wednesday before Thursday's final preseason game vs. the Cleveland Browns, in which Urlacher will not play.
Urlacher has insisted throughout the preseason that he will be ready for the regular season despite his inactivity in training camp.

Dawson and Tucker in All-Star Game
Jan. 4, 2013
FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU wide receiver Skye Dawson and tailback Matthew Tucker will play in the Feb. 2 Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Game in Allen, Texas.
Dawson and Tucker give the Horned Frogs four players in postseason All-Star contests. Linebacker Kenny Cain is in the Jan. 11 Casino Del Sol College All-Star Game in Tucson, Ariz., while offensive guard Blaize Foltz will appear in the Jan. 19 East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Tucker closed his career 10th on TCU's all-time rushing list with 2,602 yards. He ranks third with 33 rushing touchdowns. The Tyler, Texas, native placed second on TCU this season with 515 yards and a team-best six rushing scores.
Dawson finished third on TCU with 34 receptions for 455 yards this season. He was one of two players in the Big 12 to rank in the top five in the conference in both punt returns (9.4 average) and kickoff returns (23.1 average).
A Mesquite, Texas, native, Dawson was a three-time track and field conference champion and 2012 All-American in the 4x100 relay. He won the 2010 Mountain West Indoor Championship in the 60 meters with a 6.69, the third-fastest time in MW history.
Tucker and Dawson were both four-year lettermen and honorable-mention All-Big 12 selections. They helped lead TCU to a 43-9 record, three conference championships, four bowl games, including two BCS contests, and a Rose Bowl championship during their time on campus.
