After winning a big case and accepting compliments from his fellow attorneys, the man thanked his colleagues and responded that he really would have liked to represent the opposition.
"I think I could have won arguing their side, too," he told them.
He was cocky, confident, convinced.
I've recalled that courthouse exchange many years ago in watching Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. He's always the man with the last word. Come to think of it, he's probably the one getting the first word, as well.
The NCAA tournament finished in North Texas last week with Connecticut winning the championship, but it's Calipari who remains the subject of the media's fascination. Officially he's pushing his newest book, "Players First: Coaching from the Inside Out."
Calipari has revolutionized college basketball by recruiting untested freshmen and taking them deep into the NCAA tournament - including a championship in 2012. He acknowledges his ability to make the system work, sending his stars to NBA fame and fortune, but says he doesn't like it. Given a choice, he said, he'd prefer to coach players throughout four-year college careers.
Maybe Calipari is just saying, "I can beat you either way."
Calipari has proven himself as a college coach, and one with a savvy understanding of marketing. His teams are in the middle of every discussion about trends in college basketball.
He is a master communicator. His Twitter account has 1.27 million followers. For people back home in the Bluegrass, it's Kentucky basketball all the time.
His approach is fascinating, if for nothing else than because it's never been done. The 2014-15 season looks to be another run built around new faces and high expectations. His incoming freshmen will rank among the nation's elite classes. Four players - led by Trey Lyles and Karl-Anthony Towns, both towering front court players - have currently signed scholarships.
Some draft experts say as many as eight UK players on this year's team could get drafted, but it's more likely about half that number will turn in their blue jerseys. In a surprise move this week, center Willie Cauley-Stein announced he will stay in college next year.
In Calipari's first four years at Kentucky, 17 players have been drafted into the NBA, including 13 in the first round. That's likely to continue as long as he's in control.
Calipari's approach has forced other coaches to change how they recruit. Even successful coaches once cool to the idea of chasing players who saw college basketball as a one-year nesting spot are beginning to emulate Kentucky. Perennial powers Duke and Kansas have incoming talent just as heralded as Kentucky's; all are likely future lottery picks and short-term college players.
The argument over the wisdom of filling rosters with "one-and-done" players in what is supposedly a four-year college experience is academic. The National Basketball Association and its players association established the rule that requires players to be at least 19 years old or a year removed from high school to be eligible for the draft. Calipari and NCAA officials may not like it, but there's little they can do, short of passing on the best players.
The system teaches the young and talented that the pros are their ultimate destination, and the sooner they realize their dreams, the better. Younger players are convinced if they don't get to the NBA before they're 21, they might not ever make it.
It's a conundrum for coaches, as well. Teams that reach college basketball's championship round need players with NBA credentials. The problem is most of those players spend only a short time on campus.
Success as a college coach is a combination of winning and recruiting. Each is a talent unto itself.
Calipari has proven that he is good at both. Now he's got to show that he can succeed when others are copying his keys to success.

text:
According to recent negotiation debacles based on current Retransmission Consent Rules, regulations adopted in 1997 by the FCC in a (5-4) Supreme Court Decision, entitling broadcasters to negotiate terms of carriage from Pay TV Providers have gone dismally awry. As designed, broadcasters could elect negotiated carriage terms rather than just Must-Carry, which required operators to carry their signal in local markets for free. While the FCC bowed to lobbying efforts by the NAB, intending to force market equity, they actually produced the opposite. That is, consent rules were formed to curb the Cable Industry's dominance in the video market, therefore moving to equalize a market inequity. Fast forward to 2011, those very rules seem to be producing the opposite effect with outdated regulations left untouched in a fast changing video market.
These rules are now being used to extract hefty fees and extraneous channel carriage from an already burdensome retail price structured by pay TV operators trying to hold down costs perceived by consumers to be too high. Unless operators are of the size of a Comcast or at least a national provider; the cost of carrying local, or historically and significantly viewed distant stations, can be financially quite painful, not only to the smaller operator, but the consumer. The alternative could result in a local station, or group of national channels being dropped by a pay TV operator. As always, this puts the consumer in the middle with limited choices, other than installing an antenna to receive free over-the-air signals or going to a satellite competitor. See (Retransmission consent fees: Broadcasters want more from everyone)
The video market is much more complicated than it was back in 1997, when cable was the most dominate player with little or no competition. Times have changed, and so has the landscape with increased competition from satellite delivered operators, (DBS), and vertically integrated broadcasters and cable operators, some owning both broadcasting and cable programming. This makes for a more complex market of players which can, and now do, hold retransmission consent negotiations hostage to subsidize lagging ad revenues, and therefore financial bottom-lines. In addition, those same negotiations are further used in channel-groupings in a take-all or none scenario in which pay TV operators economically cannot refuse. See (FCC Seeks Feedback on Retransmission Rules)
Negotiations have become so heated and financially important, both sides of the economic issue have begun using consumers as hostages in the negotiating process: threatening to pull the plug on important programming at a time when consumers are most vulnerable to "blackouts", and likely to create backlash, while both parties blame the other for insisting on unreasonable terms. Unfortunately, broadcasters have come to rely financially on the additional revenues that current retransmission regulations afford while some would not make a profit without them. See (ACA To FCC: Outlaw Broadcaster Price-Fixing In Retransmission Consent)
It's time for the FCC to again revisit rules that were designed to right a perceived market wrong, and extract a solution from the tangled web.
- Extracting the channel-grouping affect from negotiations, that is, cable channels would be negotiated separately from local broadcast channels
- Requiring negotiations on a per market basis for carriage of local channels in each market, and excluding nationally own stations from the mix
- Eliminate multi-station collusion where owners ban together to set up pay TV operator negotiations to coincide with each entities contract end-date, thereby upping-the-anti to control an outcome
This is not an issue that will solve itself. It will take a concerted effort by the FCC, NAB, and ACA all coming together to iron-out differences and settling on a fair and equitable solution for all concerned, including the consumer. A subsidy to any industry allowed to prey on another for its existence will never create market equities which is healthy for competition.

Gregapalooza Twooza by Nat_Burnett - about 5 years ago
"July 11th 2009 North Bonneville, Skamania County, WA. Our friend Greg had a birthday party/housewarming party last year that was very fun. We continued the tradition this year making shirts. I have used custom ink to show people what I *could* have made - but this is the first time I've actually followed through. The design process is so easy if you already have a graphic ready to go. Thanks!"

Seven students at the University of Illinois were arrested in a major drug bust Thursday night.
Police say the arrests were made after police searched two senior student homes linked to the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. Investigators say they found more than 400 doses of ecstasy, LSD and cocaine during their late-night search of the homes.
According to FOX 55 Illinois, detectives had been tracking the fraternity and building their case for some time. Officers said they were not surprised by what they found.
"Cannabis is by far the largest drug used on campus, and MDMA is getting up there." Junior Reggie Jansen told FOX, "I haven't run into it. I mean you run into weed every once in a while but I haven't run into any of those hardcore drugs."
Officers say the amount of drugs seized was so large, police have not yet been able to put a street value on it. Most of the seven students arrested are facing felony drug charges.

Time is concern for duo's mound return
Olsen, Mitre shut down, may not be ready for start of season
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- As expected, two of the Marlins' top pitchers threw off the mound on Tuesday morning. Still very much unclear is when Scott Olsen and Sergio Mitre will be ready for game action.
The left-handed Olsen is nursing back tendinitis in his throwing shoulder, while Mitre is recovering from tightness in his right forearm muscle.
In recent days they had been throwing off flat ground, and the mound work was their first since they were respectively shut down from Grapefruit League action.
Both felt fine afterwards, but time now becomes a concern with Opening Day set for March 31 against the Mets at Dolphin Stadium.
While manager Fredi Gonzalez has not said who will go on Opening Day, Olsen has been the most practical option based on his previous two years. Mitre, meanwhile, is viewed as one of Florida's top of the rotation starters.
Gonzalez said on Tuesday morning that both will throw off the mound again on Thursday.
"We haven't done anything past that," Gonzalez said regarding their respective time tables.
Olsen threw five scoreless innings in two Grapefruit League starts. His bout with tendinitis was revealed on March 5. Mitre felt forearm tightness during a 15-pitch first-inning outing on Feb. 28.
Of the two, Mitre is being groomed back more slowly.
If Olsen is to be part of the rotation by Opening Day, he would have to get back into games pretty quickly.
"It will be close," Gonzalez said.
Asked if Olsen could be ready by Opening Day, Gonzalez added: "It's conceivable, in my mind."
A year ago, the Marlins rotation was hit hard by injuries. Three of their projected starters when the '07 season opened were lost for substantial stretches. Josh Johnson, Anibal Sanchez and Ricky Nolasco each won 10 or more games as rookies in 2006, but in '07 they dealt with injuries.
Olsen has been one of the team's most durable starters the past two seasons, posting more than 30 starts in each of those years.
Mitre was shut down last September because of arm fatigue.
With Olsen possibly not being ready for the opener, Mark Hendrickson and Andrew Miller are candidates to take the ball in the opener, while the Mets will be going with Johan Santana.

Bring Back Ty Treadway Or We Say Goodbye!
We the fans of OLTL are extremely upset over the firing of Ty Treadway and feel that we really do not wish to continue to watch a show where the fans feelings are ignored completely when we are the reason the show exists. Ty Treadway was so loved by the fans ...the media...the cast and crew that when his original character (Colin) was killed off, the show asked him back and created a twin just so he could continue on the show and now suddenly for no apparent reason, he was let go leaving many in utter shock and disbelief. There was so much more story to tell. We implore you to please take a second and look at your decision. We ask that you really stop and consider OUR feelings and not your own. We respectfully request that you read this petition and look at all the names of people so willing to take the time to show you how much it would mean to all of us if you would make us smile again and give us back our Ty Treadway. Please don\'t shrug this off again. Please hear us as we have gone to great effort here. Thank you.

Good morning Twins fans. Some links for you to enjoy:
- Caleb "Meat Raffle" Thielbar's amazing streak ended yesterday when he gave up a two-run home run to Ben Zobrist after pitching 20 scoreless innings. Meat Raffle set a record for pitchers starting their career with the Twins, and had the longest active scoreless-inning streak in the majors.
- All-star closer Glen Perkins learned his stuff from another all-star closer (guess who?).
- Meanwhile, Jared Burton has assured others he is feeling better and he's all fixed and he's done pitching bad.
- Remember all those other pitchers like Joe Blanton, Brandon McCarthy, and Edwin Jackson Twins fans suggested the Twins should sign last off-season instead of Kevin Correia? Turns out they all suck.
- Justin Moreanu does not want to be traded--but a lot of other people think he should or will be gone soon.
- Of course--you also find New York writers like this one who jump all the way past a trade for Morneau to a trade for Joe Mauer. (My favorite part: when the author asks if the Yankees have enough to pry Joe "from the franchise that wanted to make him its face." Maybe one day you'll get to be the face of the Twins, Joe.)
- Or this writer, who muses that "[t]he team and perhaps even the fans could sympathize with Mauer's desire to become a champion in New York ..."

Faculty Profiles
|Paul Andrichuk, MS learning specialist, at CG since 1997. Bachelor's in history, Oberlin College. Master's in school counseling, Johns Hopkins University. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer but when, at age 16, I started coaching my younger brother's soccer team I was immediately hooked on teaching. Planning lessons to develop technique and training teams in tactics are great preparation for classroom teachers. Most people think teachers get into coaching; I was a coach who wanted to teach. Learning to coach was my first step in learning to love teaching.
I'm really good on a forklift. I worked in a warehouse with the best collection of characters ever. We designed the forklift Olympics during slow times, with events ranging from slalom, to scratching the backs of brave co-workers, to relocation operations that involved picking up lunches. Colleagues, truck drivers, commercial builders, and even our bosses looked on in appreciation.
|Deirdre Atkinson, MS arts & drama teacher, at CG since 2004. Bachelor's in theater, Willamette University. I grew up watching the San Francisco Mime Troupe and the Pickle Family Circus in the parks of San Francisco (in those summers after the one of love), but the first real play I remember seeing was "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Joyce Theater. They allowed the audience to go up on stage during intermission, and a star was born. I made my professional debut at age 11, sharing the stage with Placido Domingo in "Carmen" with the San Francisco Opera. I enjoy working with Middle Schoolers as we turn our Chipmunk Hollow theater into a different world every six weeks. That little tool shed has been transformed into a Scottish heath, a beach-blanket seascape, a far-away planet, Dracula's castle, a world-class museum, the Wild West, Verona, ancient India, a honky-tonk diner, the star ship Enterprise, and any number of dramatic little holes in the wall.
|Chris Bell, middle school office manager. I like working with middle schoolers because they are fun, full of life, excited about almost everything, and will try almost everything. I enjoy my unique role in the middle school that allows me to work with students, colleagues, and parents, while at the same time working closely with students as advisor and 8th grade team member.
|Carrie Blank, LS/MS PE teacher, at CG since 2005. Bachelor's in anthropology, Humboldt State University. Bachelor's in physical education, Illinois State University. Master's in education, Lewis & Clark College. I have always been active. Many of my high school years were spent working with young people at camps, and it was this connection with children that inspired me to go into teaching and coaching.
Some of my passions include golfing, scuba diving, and working in my yard. One of my scariest moments was when I was separated from my group in the Vatican City without a phone or wallet and not knowing where our hotel was located. I'm still teaching, so I obviously made my way back!
|Len Carr, assistant middle school head, at CG since 1989. Bachelor's in social sciences, Evergreen State College. I sort of fell into teaching, headlong. I started off teaching 3rd graders as part of a math class when I was a high school student at Catlin Gabel. During my junior and senior years I was a counselor on the 6th grade trip to Cape Arago. After high school I spent two summers as director of Catlin Gabel's summer day camp. In college I had a work-study job as custodian at the campus day care, which soon turned into a teaching position. After college I was hired at Bush School in Seattle doing a lot of everything, I was a utility infielder - global education coordinator, summer school director, PE teacher, soccer coach, yearbook advisor, middle school history teacher and "in-house sub." At Bush, I was fortunate to become a colleague of Schauff, a teacher who had been headmaster at Catlin Gabel when I was a student.
My grandmother took me to the Beatles concert in the mid 1960s when they played in Portland. I met the real James Bond while hitchhiking in Canada. I have hopped freight on several occasions - riding the rails is a great way to see the landscape. My wife and our three daughters are Catlin Gabel alumnae.
|Li-Ling Cheng, MS Chinese teacher, at CG since 2005. Bachelor's in occupational therapy, National Taiwan University School of Medicine. Master's in occupational therapy, New York University School of Education. I never thought I would become a teacher, but after working as a midwife nurse and an occupational therapist for more than 15 years combined, I realized that what I do best is work with and help people.
Growing up in Taiwan I had never heard of mushroom hunting, which has become my favorite pastime since moving to Oregon. With a little rain, mushrooms are the best and most reliable gift nature offers. I enjoy adventuring into the woods, with the wind whistling and streams gurgling in the background, in search of my preferred mushrooms. The hunting trip does not always guarantee harvest, but I do appreciate the time I spend in nature.
|Natalie Dickinson, MS PE teacher, at CG since 2012. Bachelor's in interdisiplinary studies, University of San Diego. Master's in teaching, University of Portland. Combining my love of fitness and sport with the desire to influence others to lead healthy and active lives from a young age led me to teaching. I worked in the healthcare world for five years before going back to school to become a teacher. Getting a job as a physical education teacher at Catlin Gabel has been a dream come true.
I have been teaching yoga since 2008. My dad took me to my first yoga class when I was in high school and I've been practicing ever since. Yoga has been life changing.
|Lynda Douglas, 7th grade math teacher, at CG since 1998. Bachelor's in biology, Lewis & Clark College. Master's in biology, University of Chicago. Catlin Gabel's natural beauty and close community of progressive and dedicated educators resonates perfectly with my view of what an educational setting should be. My love for math grew from the influence of two very strong math teachers: Virginia Bartell in high school and Elva Fredrickson in college. My first teaching job at the progressive Green Acres School (also on the site of an old farm) cemented and foretold my future. It all came together at Catlin - a beautiful setting in which progressive ideals are held protectively in the hands of inspiring colleagues and where I can share mathematics with my students as simply another way by which to know the world. How lucky I am to have come to this place.
|Javier Duque Rey, MS PE teacher, at CG since 2013. Bachelor's in physical education and recreation, Northern Technical College.
|Ema Eldredge, 8th grade math teacher, at CG since 2004. Bachelor's in mathematics, Pacific University. I started out my career emphatically not wanting to teach. I come from a long line of teachers. I tried others things. But nothing satisfied my desire to leave an impact on the future like working with young people and helping them learn how to think and be in this world.
At one point I my life I had five dogs at once: a chocolate Lab, a Great Dane, two Maltese, and one Maltese-Shih-Tzu mutt.
|David Ellenberg, 8th grade history teacher, at CG since 1991. Bachelor's in biology, Brown University. Master's in education, Portland State University. During the time I worked as an urban park ranger in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, teaching school groups park history, ecology, and botany became the most loved part of my job. When winter came, my colleagues and I took educational programs to classrooms throughout the borough and I experienced extended time with students for the first time. Those were wonderful days and I came to realize that full-time teaching was the career for me.
Instead of attending classes during my senior year of high school, I interned with the chairman of the education department at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
|Ann Fyfield, 6th grade humanities teacher. Bachelor's in international studies, Portland State University. I wasn't drawn to teaching at first; I was drawn to languages, French and Japanese. I wanted to travel and learn about other cultures, learn about other people. It was this desire to travel that drew me to teaching English, and I found my passion for connecting with students, both young and old. My first teaching job was on a street corner in San Francisco. My friend and I were asked by a young Brit at San Francisco State to teach a classroom of Italian students. We had no idea what to do. But after two weeks of conversational English, the reviews from the students were that I was a natural teacher. I went from teaching Italians to teaching Hmong and Mien refugees, then Japanese and Vietnamese speakers, and now Catlin Gabel students.
I hitchhiked through southern France when I was young and naive. I met the most wonderful people on that crazy journey. One family in Aix-en-Provence took us to their home, complete with monkeys and ocelots! It was a wild ride, but one I'll never forget.
|Brian Gant, MS health & PE teacher, at CG since 1984. Bachelor's in geography, Simon Fraser University. All through my formative years I had teachers that had a great influence on me. They taught me to value education, the people around me, and the larger community. Their values became some of my values, and those years are still so vivid in my memory. My aunt was a teacher and inspired me to really look into pursuing it as a profession.
I love coaching! I have played team sports since I was 5 years old, and that has been one of the greatest influences on my life. I first started coaching when I was 13 and fell in love with everything about it. Coaching and leading a group to success provides an incredible feeling of accomplishment. Blending a variety of talents and personalities is challenging, but oh so rewarding.
|Brendan Gill, 7th & 8th grade arts media teacher, at CG since 2010. Bachelor's in film production, Loyola Marymount University. I grew excited about teaching after my junior year because of my high school English teacher, Mr. Curtis. He once created a montage of movie clips that he played silently behind music and burning incense, and we all instinctively knew not to talk. He led us out after that to pick a spot of our own in the forest, where I later realized I'd meditated for the first time. I knew I wanted to be a filmmaker, and along the way decided I would pick up a teaching gig at an art center or college in between film projects. I quickly learned I got more out of teaching. I love that exchange between teacher and student, where the roles switch and blur. I have learned so much about filmmaking and self-expression from the work my students produce.
I love karaoke. It's a great way to appreciate music - it's live, loud, participatory, and a way to share the love of a song. Through karaoke I overcame stage fright, became a better singer, and was approached to audition for the band I'm now in. I host the Middle School karaoke club because it's important to offer a variety of arenas for students to discover their inner performer and build self-confidence.
|Katie Gunderson, MS French teacher, at CG since 2012. Bachelor's in French, Portland State University. Master's in French, Portland State University. Ever since the first time I was asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" I've answered, "I want to be a teacher." When I fell in love with French on the first day of high school, it was the missing piece to my puzzle. Through the years, I have learned that the subject taught is not as important as the way students feel when they leave your classroom. I have worked with students of all ages: high schoolers in Vancouver, Washington, and elementary students in France. But middle schoolers are the most fun!
I am an Oregon native but loved the year I spent living and working in France, and I almost feel as if I have two nationalities.
|Larry Hurst, 6th grade science teacher, at CG since 1998. Bachelor's in biology, California Poly State University. Master's in Latin American studies, University of Florida. In the Peace Corps I worked at a zoo where I would often bring tame animals to visit local schools to educate teachers and students about Jamaica's native wildlife. That's when I discovered the power of teaching and how one "aha" moment can wake a child's interest in learning more.
I put myself through college by working on a huge cattle ranch near San Luis Obispo, California. My favorite courses were ornithology, vertebrate zoology, tractor operation and maintenance, and best of all, colt breaking, where I roped my own horse instead of the target bale of hay during the final test.
|Hedy Jackson, MS health & PE teacher, at CG since 1996.
|Christa Kaainoa, 7th grade English teacher, at CG since 2004. Bachelor's in journalism, University of Oregon. Teaching snuck up on me slowly, and it's been one of the best surprises of my life. I had been headed toward a career in journalism, PR, or politics until I spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, West Africa. A group of children in the small village of Kokojo taught me to speak basic Bambara, showed me how to operate the foot pump so I could get clean drinking water, brought me embers from their families' fires so I could start my own fire for cooking, and basically introduced me to the people and culture of the village. They were patient and kind, friendly and fearless, and they became my good friends. When I returned to Portland to work in public relations, I missed being around kids! I quit my job, enrolled in a masters of teaching program, and haven't looked back since. If it weren't for my young friends in Kokojo, I may never have discovered how brilliant, fun, complex, interesting, and important children are and how meaningful and satisfying it is to work with them!
|Carter Latendresse, 6th grade English teacher, garden coordinator, at CG since 2007. Bachelor's in English, University of Washington. Master's in English, University of Washington.
I got into teaching after reading Jonathan Kozol and bell hooks when I lived in Berkeley in the mid 1990s. At that time, I was working at a book wholesaler cooperative and volunteering at the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker House. After visiting Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in Berkeley and seeing Alice Waters and the incredible teachers there starting the Edible Schoolyard program, I decided I also wanted to "educate as the practice of freedom," in hooks's phrase.
My family and I did a yearlong Fulbright Teacher Exchange in Istanbul, Turkey-a Muslim nation-four years after 9/11. The experience was fantastic, as I learned that people are people, despite the xenophobia and ahistorical misinformation ubiquitous to our popular news media. The Turks helped us open our eyes and hearts to diverse cultures, an experience that we will always have, as we are still in touch with many of our friends there.
|Jesse Lowes, MS science teacher, at CG since 2012. Bachelor's in biology, Colorado College. Master's in teaching, Lewis & Clark College. I grew up with a voracious drive to explore and understand the world around me. Immeasurable childhood moments spent overturning rocks in search of salamanders and climbing trees to gain a better view of birds paved the way for ecology field research in college and beyond. However, research on its own never seemed enough without the human component. I discovered the missing piece while working as an environmental educator at an outdoor school in California and immediately knew teaching was for me. Teaching is the perfect blend of personal inquiry and community, challenge and support, work and fun. I feel extremely lucky every day that I am able to work with students to facilitate deeper understanding, respect, and stewardship for our community and the natural world.
On separate occasions I have found myself within 20 feet of a big cat: a mountain lion while solo backpacking in the North Cascades and an African lion only an arm's length away through my tent door in Tanzania. Both times were powerful and chilling and both times I felt fortunate for the experience…and more so for the lack of scars.
|Sandy Luu, athletic director, at CG since 2011. Bachelor's in education and pe, Concordia University. Master's in athletic administration, Ohio University. What brought you to Catlin Gabel (if you are new to the school), or why do you like working at Catlin Gabel? I came to Catlin because I love the small school environment. Within this model, Catlin is mindful about seeking out the interests of the students. We have an amazing number of offerings with sports, clubs, and activities. The kids are so talented here and can do anything they set their minds to.
|Paul Monheimer, 7th grade world cultures teacher, at CG since 1995. Bachelor's in German, Lewis & Clark College. Master's in education, Lewis & Clark College.
I was drawn to teaching when my parents gave me the gift of a younger sister. In order to converse, plot, and connive, we needed to talk, so I taught her to speak. At Berkeley High School, Thomasine Wilson taught me to fill my life with heroes, beginning with Thomas Jefferson. Since those formative years, I humbly stand on the shoulders of giants. Retired Catlin Gabel art teacher Judy Teufel taught me the value of trusting middle schoolers to do the right thing, and always maintaining a strong safety net when they need one. Retired Catlin Gabel science teacher Lowell Herr taught me that allowing kids to discover solutions to problems taught them to puzzle out answers instead of looking for the right one. Verna Bailey taught me that the best education happens outside school walls. I have long been interested in how the brain learns, and I love asking students to explain their thinking.
I have taught every grade level from kindergarten to seniors, for at least one year, and have taught on three continents in six countries. I enjoy travel and constantly look for opportunities for adventure. Returning to Catlin Gabel to share stories is a real treat.
|Cindy Murray, MS learning specialist, at CG since 2011. Bachelor's in education, University of Missouri. Master's in special education, Michigan State University. I knew I wanted to teach from the time I was 10 and had my first neighborhood nursery school charging 50 cents per week. Then as a camp counselor, when a deaf camper couldn't receive her horseback-riding award because she didn't know the parts of the horse, I figured out a way to teach her and experienced her joy firsthand. From that time on I have worked with students who needed "just a bit more of something" to succeed and realize their potential.
I love the outdoors, including camping with my family, rejuvenating my gardens, some of which have been cultivated for 100 years, and most memorably, have tiger fished in the Chobe-Zambezi River in Namibia.
|Kristin Ogard, MS counselor, at CG since 2001. Bachelor's in physical education, Pacific Lutheran University. Master's in counseling psychology, Lewis & Clark College. The experiences I had in school and in sports led to my desire to work with children and teens. During those formative years I had connections with some very special teachers and coaches who clearly cared deeply for their students and were very interested in making a difference.
My high school my drama teacher, Mr. Lesch, encouraged me to audition for a Dairy Farmers of Oregon commercial. I was selected for the lead role and briefly became the "face of milk." My career path did not lead to further auditions or any other roles in television, and I am quite happy and content in my role as a middle school counselor: no cameras, no lights, but lots of drama!
|Barbara Ostos, middle school head, at CG since 2011. Bachelor's in government, Harvard University. Master's in nonprofit leadership & management, University of San Diego. Doctorate in educational leadership, University of California, San Diego. I love school. I have always loved school. I love the energy, creativity, and possibility that schools create. School allows me to be part of something bigger than myself for societal good - it inspires me every day.
It's a privilege to work with students and their families. Independent schools are not ivory towers. Our work is to provide a microcosm of the real world.
|Carol Ponganis, 6th grade math teacher, at CG since 1988. Bachelor's in biology, University of California, Santa Cruz. Master's in education, Portland State University. I fell in love with marine biology and field ecology when I was in high school. My senior year, I did an internship in which I had the opportunity to teach in an outdoor school setting on the coast. I had a fantastic mentor there who was a huge influence on my teaching style today. I quickly discovered that sharing my passion for marine science with young students made my love for the field twice as rich!
Many moons ago, the 6th grade math teacher at Catlin Gabel got me interested in whitewater rafting on a Middle School Breakaway trip. Since then, I have rafted on 10 different rivers in Oregon and have taken about 200 middle schoolers rafting.
|Mark Pritchard, MS music teacher, at CG since 1998. Bachelor's in music, New South Wales Conservatory of Music. I had decided I wanted to be a music teacher when I was in the 7th grade. The chance to share what I love (music) with others has always been incredibly appealing to me. Teaching gives me the opportunity to set up situations where people can have musical experiences like performing and composing. It's given me great joy over my career to teach music at all levels-from preschool to college.
I was born in Australia, lived in Austria, and now live in America. Perhaps I'm ready to move on to a country beginning with the letter B!
|Dale Rawls, MS art teacher, at CG since 1989. Bachelor's in art, Portland State University. Master's in education, Lewis & Clark College. Art professor Ray Grimm was an important role model for me. Not only did I meet the love of my life and wife of 34 years in his college class, but I was his studio apprentice during several summers in college. He modeled problem solving as an effective way to teach and continued to have shows and make art during the 35 years that he was a college professor. He continues to be a friend and mentor to this day.
|Lynn Silbernagel, MS librarian, at CG since 1995. Bachelor's in English, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Master's in library science, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Master's in education: curriculum & instruction, Portland State University. From the time I was 7 years old, I knew I wanted to be a librarian. Early in my career I worked as both a children's and young adult librarian at public libraries in the Midwest. I did not think I was interested in working in a school, where my responsibilities would expand into classrooms and curriculum, but after doing extensive research and over the course of a daylong interview on campus, I discovered that Catlin Gabel was, indeed, exceptional. I knew this was a place where I could be a learner as well as a teacher and librarian. The school has supported me in earning a degree in curriculum and instruction in progressive education.
|Chris Skrapits, 8th grade science teacher, at CG since 1998. Bachelor's in biology, State University of New York at Geneseo. Master's in education, Lewis & Clark College.
I am not sure what drew me to teaching. My high school teachers told me not to go into teaching because I was too smart for it. In college I had the opportunity to TA for many classes, and I really enjoyed it. Science and teaching were a couple of things I enjoyed; the combination is almost like a Reese's peanut butter cup.
I love to run.
|Tom Tucker, MS woodshop teacher. Bachelor's in design, Marlboro College. When I was a middle schooler it seemed to me that my teachers were having fun. They got to teach subjects that were dear to their hearts, coach sports, take kids on class trips that got everyone out of the usual classroom setting, got them singing songs and playing Botticelli, and trading their own ideas in exchange for my peers' and mine. What's not to like?
|Holly Walsh, 8th grade English teacher. Bachelor's in psychology, University of Vermont. Master's in education, St. Michael's College. I first began school at the age of three. I attended a tiny Montessori school where most of my classmates were years older than me. Initially, everything seemed gigantic and out of reach because of the age difference, but my teacher, Miss Salomi, encouraged me to work with the older kids. Somehow, she always made their lessons accessible to me, which was incredibly empowering. This early experience and a great liberal arts education focused on humanities prompted me to consider teaching others. Eighth graders never cease to amaze me.
I have enjoyed teaching reading and writing to students from 2nd to 12th grade, to students whose first language is English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Mandarin, and French. I have worked in public schools, at an international school, and in an inner-city school where I was a minority. I have internalized the school calendar, so my "New Year's Day" is celebrated in September.
|Yen-Ling Wang, MS Spanish teacher, at CG since 2012. Bachelor's in Spanish, University of California, Riverside. Bachelor's in biology, University of California, Riverside. Master's in Spanish literature, Stanford University. Master's in education, Stanford University.
|Alison Ward, learning center administrative assistant, at CG since 2014.
|Spencer White, MS Spanish teacher, at CG since 1996. Bachelor's in hispanic studies, Lewis & Clark College. I'm drawn to teaching by two forces: the desire to be a positive influence in the lives of adolescents at a very challenging time of growth and the profound desire to maintain my youth. A close third is sharing my love of Spanish language and culture with kids who can, and will, go change the world for the better.
I am pursuing the hobby of bike racing, mostly cyclocross, but road criteriums, Kermesses, and mountain biking. Not sure whether it keeps me young or makes me old. What I do know is it's a blast!

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer insinuated that the company is working on a version of Office for the iPad and for Android tablets when he addressed Wall Street analysts on Thursday.
Speaking about "upside opportunities" that exist for Microsoft, Ballmer talked about porting products to non-Windows platforms. "We don't have our heads in the sand," he said during the company's meeting with financial analysts, which was held in a Bellevue, Washington convention center and webcast live.

In this context Microsoft is "working on everything that you think we should be working on," Ballmer said.
Windows is the preferred platform for Microsoft applications and remains supremely important, but executives have less "religion" than people think and keep their "eyes wide open" with regards to the opportunities for generating additional revenue by porting products like Office to other platforms, he said.
To be sure, Ballmer didn't refer specifically to Office for iOS and Android, but it seemed clear that this is what he had in mind, since this issue has been a constant source of criticism for the company, which is leaving a lot of money on the table by not offering full, native versions of Office for the Apple and Google mobile OSes.
In a question-and-answer session after his prepared remarks, he once again took up this theme, saying "our devices carry our services, and our services will be available on a number of people's devices."
He mentioned SkyDrive, Skype and OneNote, which are available in iOS and Android versions, as examples of the direction Microsoft is going. However, he also said that part of the difficulty lies with Apple and Google in how they run their respective app stores.
Skype, for example, is as "cross platform as could be, and we probably should use it to capture more functionality" but Apple frowns on allowing suites on its app store, he said.
"They know they have to avoid [competitors] getting too much traction with their services on their devices, but we're working away on it and it's very, very important to us," Ballmer said.
"Devices come with services, services have to find their way onto non-Microsoft devices and we certainly have to support that without religious bias, if you will," he added.
Earlier, during a panel discussion, Qi Lu, executive vice president of Microsoft's Applications and Services Group, had danced around a question about this issue, giving a quasi-professorial explanation for how Microsoft decides when and where to port software, but ultimately refraining from giving any concrete answer.
Many believe Microsoft has been reticent to offer Office for iPad in particular out of fear that doing so will hurt the value of Windows 8, which is optimized for tablets, and of the new Surface RT tablets, and instead help iOS and Apple. Neither the new Microsoft OS nor its new tablets have fared as well as expected.
Ballmer's comments were the most surprising in the four-hour meeting, in which he and his lieutenants spent most of the time making a case for why Microsoft, despite its challenges, is in good shape to recover from past mistakes and take advantage of market opportunities in the coming years.

Remember Me
The Corner Drug Store co-owner Marla Busakowski calls the Yellow Jug Old Drugs program a huge success. Out dated or unused drugs and medications can be dropped off at the store for safe disposal. Only controlled substances are barred from the program. The last statewide collection netted 7,746 pounds of unused medications.IRON COUNTY—Area pharmacies are helping their customers safely dispose of old drugs through the Yellow Jug Old Drug Program.
"The point of the program is to keep drugs out of the water supply," Marla Busakowski, co-owner of The Corner Drug Store in Iron River, explained. There are 251 pharmacies in Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois that participate in the Yellow Jug program. During the latest quarterly collection, participating Michigan pharmacies collected 7,746 pounds of unused and unwanted drugs free of charge. The program was instituted by the Great Lakes Clean Water Institute in May 2009. A total of 55,516 pounds have been collected to date. "It's a win-win for pharmacies to provide the program and for the residents where those pharmacies are located," according to Chris Angel, president of Great Lakes Clean Water. "We all want clean water, and disposing of unused and unwanted drugs is something we can all do to help keep our water safe." Busakowski points out that only drugs that are not controlled by the Drug Enforcement Agency can be accepted for disposal. Medications including high blood pressure prescriptions, aspirin, birth control pills and heart medicines can be dropped off at the pharmacy. Over-the-counter drugs can also be disposed of through the program. The Corner Drug Store has participated in the project for about three years, Busakowski said. After the drugs are dumped into the yellow disposal jugs, the packaging is also turned in for recycling. The Crystal Falls Pharmacy also participates in the program.

text: Photos of 2010 Toast of the Town San Francisco Food & Drink Favorites From Wine Enthusiast's Toast of the Town by Susannah Chen 4/30/10 0 Reactions 2 Shares Print 0 2 0 0 0 March and April are some of the best months of the year, not only because the blooming flora and fauna unleash the Spring fever in me, but also because the calendar is packed with exciting wine and food events. Last week marked the date of one of my favorite fêtes, Wine Enthusiast's annual Toast of the Town. The party boasts a dizzying amount of wine and food amidst the elegant backdrop of San Francisco's Opera House. I went heavy on the food this year, since I'd come straight from another wine event, but I still had plenty to rave about. Read on for the best tastes of the evening. Champagne Louis Roederer Brut Premier What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The nonvintage Louis Roederer champagne was refreshing, although it admittedly couldn't live up to the Cristal that had been served the year before! 1 / 10 Oysters on the Half Shell What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Etoile at Domaine Chandon served oysters topped with kumquat slices for a sunny appearance and flavor. 2 / 10 Yellowtail Ceviche What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yellowtail ceviche in ají amarillo tiger's milk, or ceviche marinade, from Gastón Acurio's La Mar Cebicheria Peruana. 3 / 10 Nickel & Nickel 2008 Searby Vineyard Chardonnay What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Napa Valley's Nickel & Nickel is perhaps best known for its Cabernets, but that night, the winery's Searby Vineyard Chardonnay, with its notes of vanilla and oak, really hit the spot. 4 / 10 Oysters en Rosé Gelée What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Farallon also played off the champagne and crisp whites that were being poured by offering champagne-poached oysters in a gelée, and topped with arugula for a peppery kick. 6 / 10 Loch Duarte Salmon Crostini What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 My favorite seafood bite might have been the house wood-smoked Loch Duart salmon from the Fairmont San Francisco.

Last year the UMass Minutemen pulled off their first FBS win by knocking off the Akron Zips, 22-14, on the road. It was a benchmark win for the program that has since double that number, and will be looking to triple it on Saturday in Foxborough. It took a great game from the Minutemen defense and a super-human punting effort from Colter Johnson to get the win last year, but whether or not that will be enough in 2013 is hard to say.
Akron is not the same Akron that went winless in the MAC last year. No, this Akron team has won games and even looked impressive in its losses. Kyle Pohl has energized the offense from the quarterback position, throwing for 300 yards twice this season, including a two-touchdown, 311-yard performance in a four-point loss to Michigan early in the year.
Much like UMass, Akron has a win over Miami (Ohio). But unlike UMass, Akron has managed to beat another MAC team, beating Kent State on Nov. 2, 16-7. Also unlike UMass, Akron was able to get the job done against FCS opponent James Madison in Week 2. Just from looking at the schedule, Akron feels like a team that won't stumble in a game like this.
However, as we have seen in many years of MAC football, anything is possible.
With that in mind, here are some keys to the game for both teams.
For UMass to win...
They will need to run the ball and run it well. Lorenzo Woodley has come on in recent weeks and show the potential to be an absolute hoss in the backfield. 38 carries? No biggie. LoZo (I named him that, you're welcome) can handle it. A.J. Doyle and Mike Wegzyn are basically a toss up at the quarterback position, so it will be important that whoever does go under center stays upright, gets the ball to his back, and takes care of the football.
The defense will need to simply not get gashed. This offense is not capable of hanging with teams that score in the 30s. If the defense keeps it in the 24-point area, UMass could have a shot at it.
For Akron to win...
The Zips will need to employ a similar game plan they used to beat Miami, but without giving up six sacks. UMass can bring a bit of pressure so the offensive line will need to keep Pohl upright. Down the field, there aren't too many interception threats as long as the ball is thrown well. Keeping the time of possession in its favor should also do Akron some favors.
Defensively, they need to load up against the run and take their chanes with M.J. Doygzyn (OK, that one didn't work) in the passing game. Woodley, Jamal Wilson and Stacey Bedell are all good runners and you should see at least two of them, depending on who is actually healthy come Saturday. Tajae Sharpe is a threat, but he's more of an 10-15 yard catch guy than a big play threat.
In my semi-professional opinion, I believe Akron wins this game. Akron has won, it took Michigan to the wire, and I have to believe they won't be willing to start this little rivalry 0-2 against a program that is yet to really find its footing.
Akron wins, 27-17.

DescriptionA record of Japanese Americans and their friends I met in bars in Honolulu`s Chinatown.
Twenty years ago, a man spoke to me at the bar where I happened to go for a drink in Honolulu`s Chinatown. His name was Masa and was a second-generation Japanese-American.
At that time, the place was thought to be dangerous for tourists to visit, as travel agencies put out an alert. Japanese visitors were missed and rare in the place, so he and his friends welcomed me and took me a bar-crawling. Since that night, the place became my local.
I vaguely noticed the place was used to be Japantown about which can be heard from the descents who lives there.
Carrying my camera and tape-recorder, I traveled back and forth between the bars and the library my research.
Twenty years later, here I am in the Chinatown feeling a little sentimental about a total sea change of the place, and I dedicate this photo collection in honor of Masa and his friends.

This scholarship will be awarded to an academically eligible recipient chosen by the Honors and Awards Committee. The recipient will be eligible to retain the scholarship while learning at Upper Iowa University.
Help us honor these two pioneers in Upper Iowa University's illustrious history with the creation of a scholarship in their names.

So, last season I was fascinated upon learning that it had been a long, long time since a pitcher in his 30s had started a game for the Tampa Bay Rays.
But James Shields was 29 last season! And would turn 30 in December! Would the Rays keep the streak alive and trade Shields for a hitter‽ Or a couple of hot prospects‽
No, they would not. Not yet, anyway. Shields turned 30, and Shields started on Opening Day for the Rays.
Which elicited this:
Last #rays starting pitcher (before OD Shields start) over 30 years old? Mark Hendrickson vs Atlanta 06/21/06 - he lost 4-1.— DRaysBay (@draysbay) April 11, 2012
Which piqued my interest, so I conducted a little search and was just sure I'd caught DRaysBay in a little error. After all, in 2007 Jae Weong Seo was 30 years old and started 10 games for the Rays.
Ah, but no. Not quite. That tweet says over 30 years old, which you might think means in his 30s but actually means at least 30 + 1 day. And so Jae Weong Seo doesn't qualify. Just barely doesn't qualify.
Seo made his 10th and final start for the Rays on May 24, 2007 -- his 30th birthday. The good news was that he got the win, which must have been a nice birthday present. The bad news was that he gave up seven runs in five innings, and got bumped from the rotation. The worse news was that after a two-inning, two-run relief outing five days later, Seo got bumped from the roster and never pitched again in the majors. He did pitch well for the Rays' triple-A affiliate in Durham for the rest of the season. For what that's worth.
So, yes: Shields is indeed the oldest pitcher to start for the Rays since Mark Hendrickson, nearly six years ago. He was 32 that season, so Shields has a ways to go to catch him.
Which he might do ... but probably won't. If Shields starts a game for the Rays in 2014, he'll pass Hendrickson and become the Rays' oldest starter since 36-year-old Hideo Nomo started 19 games for the club in 2005. But if that's going to happen, the Rays will have to exercise their $12.5-million option for that season -- and before that, their $9-million option for 2013.
Which they might do ... but probably won't. Unless it's merely to lock him up before trading him. The Rays do seem to be finally running out of hot pitching prospects, but Shields might eventually seem a luxury the club just can't afford. Especially if they fall out of serious contention either this summer or next.
Which they probably won't do ... and so now I'm thinking Shields might actually still be starting for the Rays when he's 32. Which seems sort of a shame. Then again, they already blew our fun when they let him pitch on Opening Day.

NEO Norse Stars return
Miami, Oklahoma – Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013 – The athletic department at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO) announced the Norse Stars will be performing at the first home football game on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013.
The Norse Stars are a kick line – drill team on campus.
"The presence of the Norse Stars has always been a vital part of our athletic events, and we are very excited to have them back," said Dale Patterson, athletic director for NEO. "We have a new coach, and 16 girls who have been working very hard. We are looking forward to introducing them on Saturday against Blinn."
The Norse Star program was temporarily suspended in 2012 in order to reorganize the program. The Norse Stars have been a tradition at NEO since 1951, when former President Bruce Carter saw a similar program in Texas.
Michele Martin is the new coach for both NEO's Norse Stars and cheerleaders.
"I am thrilled to be a part of NEO and to have the opportunity to work with both the Norse Stars and cheerleaders," Martin said. "I encourage everyone to come out and support this program as they make their returning debut on Saturday."
The Norse Stars will perform at halftime of the NEO vs. Blinn football game on Saturday, Sept. 14th. Kickoff is scheduled at 7 p.m. This will be the first home game for the Golden Norsemen and the first performance for the Norse Stars.

Music at St. Matthew's
Organist Philip Keil at the Aeolian-Skinner organ
© 2005 Tom Hammer
Music is an integral part of worship at St. Matthew's. Each service incorporates congregational hymns in the Episcopal tradition, accompanied by our lovely 1937 Aeolian Skinner pipe organ, which is also heard in the prelude and postlude music. The 10:15 am service is a choral eucharist, with the chancel choir generally leading the congregation in the sung parts of the ordinary. The chancel choir also sings anthems during the offertory and communion, with texts designed to reflect some aspect of the day's readings. The children's choir participates each first Sunday of the month, and our handbell choir plays for services on occasion as well. Further information about these ensembles can be found below. To learn more about music at St. Matthew's or to inquire about joining one of the ensembles, please contact our Music Director, either by email or by phone at (650) 342-1481 ext. 393.
If you'd like to participate, please consider joining one of our choirs:
Chancel Choir
Meets: Thursday 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. in the Choir Room
The Chancel choir is St. Matthews' adult choir, and participates each week in the 10:15 am service. All persons ages 15 and up are welcome to join the choir. The group rehearses Thursday nights from 7:30-9:30 p.m. The choir prepares anthems, generally selected from the sacred classical repertoire, for presentation during offertory and communion as well as a few concerts throughout the year. Some music experience is preferred, but not strictly required. A casual audition with the music director is requested.
Bell Choir
Meets: Sundays 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in the Choir Room
St. Matthew's has a 5 octave handbell set, and we always welcome new players to help us use as much of the set as possible. The bell choir is open to ages 11 and up, and meets weekly on Sundays after the 10:15 am service from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm in the choir room. No music experience is necessary to join; if you can ring a bell, you can participate! In fact, playing handbells is a great, low pressure way to learn the basics of reading music. The bell choir plays for 10:15 am services on special occasions, generally about 5 times per year.

About the Candidate:
I support a free and voluntary society. Free people choose to define and pursue their happiness in different ways. Government has no role dictating to free people how they ought to run their lives. I believe that being an "American" is much more than simply a description about where a person lives. It is about a state of mind. Being an American is supposed to be about an attitude. It is an attitude which values freedom and individual responsibility. An American attitude involves self ownership; being in charge of your body, your money and your time. In short, an American attitude is about defining your own happiness and being free to pursue it wherever it leads so long as it intrudes on no other person. Americans ought to be free to engage in whatever voluntary transactions they seek to engage in with any other competent adults. There should be no legal restrictions on one's right to voluntarily interact with another competent adult.
It is the legitimate role of government to protect the rights of competent adults to define and pursue their happiness in any non-coercive way they see fit. Government acts legitimately when it acts as the agent of a person to do what the person could themselves legally do. Americans are free to adopt, reject or create any moral code they see fit so long as it does not intrude on the rights of others. Government sets legal boundaries; not moral boundaries. It is the option of free people to determine their moral code for themselves. As such, government ought to be strictly limited to protecting the rights of people to live free from coercion.
We no longer have a government of limited powers. Rather, we have a government constrained only by the laws of physics. As we have seen with the United States Constitution, virtually anything can be justified as consistent with those words by those who interpret them. All governments seek to expand their power and jurisdiction. Indeed, the founding fathers were well aware of this problem. Despite their best efforts to create a government which was strictly limited in scope, over time our government has grown far more intrusive than the British government under King George III at the time of the American Revolution. We have lost our way as Americans.
I advocate for freedom in all circumstances, at all times, and for all people. It is impossible to know me at all without knowing of my deep and absolute commitment to advancing the case for human liberty. It could be said my mission in life is promoting individual rights and responsibilities, free markets, and the sovereignty of the individual. The absolute right to define and peacefully pursue one's happiness is of utmost importance to me.
I believe it is the very nature of what it means to be an American. I will not be modifying or watering down any of my long held pro-freedom positions to make them more palatable to some voter who prefers coercion. I am focused solely on promoting freedom and wherever that road leads is where I will go.

Question of the Week
What Nonlegal Tasks Have Clients Asked You to Perform for Them?
Posted Sep 26, 2012 11:30 AM CDT
By Sarah Mui
Last week, one of the Westlaw Insider blog's headnotes of the day was from Cincinnati Bar Assn. v. Alsfelder, 816 N.E.2d 218 (Ohio 2004):
"Although attorney has a duty to assist his client in making informed decisions, a process that often implicates nonlegal considerations, attorney may not serve in a self-appointed role as a paraclete, comforter, helper, or hand-holder, under the guise of legal services and at a lawyer's compensation rate."
But sometimes, a lawyer who wants only to provide legal services is asked by a client to devote time to a task of some sort that is not the practice of law. So this week, we'd like to ask you: What nonlegal tasks have clients asked you to perform for them? Did you do as they asked? If so, what, if anything, did you charge them?
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: How Do You Physically Prepare for 'Game Days' in Your Legal Practice?
Featured answer:
Posted by JM-K: "On the morning of a courtroom appearance, particularly a trial, I make sure to have a conversation with a complete stranger on the train. Talking with a stranger helps get my words flowing, passes the time, and reduces my nervousness. I also usually learn something interesting about someone very different from me, and it often seems to brighten their day."
Do you have an idea for a future question of the week? If so, contact us.

Create Realistic Dog Legislation, Don\'t Ban Breeds
Recent legislation banning specific breeds of dogs (also called BSL) has dog owners and dog lovers confused and fearful. In the rescue community, too many of us have seen dogs abused, over-bred, and ignored and these unsocialized dogs, of varying breeds, often end up homeless and on our doorstep. The only way to control the cat and dog population and to create real change in ownership is to legislate real incentives for spaying and neutering and real disincentives for backyard breeders and puppy mills. Banning breeds does not prevent unsocialized dogs and unsocialized dogs are the ones that bite. We, the undersigned, ask that you, the California State Senate, stop seeking breed specific language and instead focus on legislation that will actual create change: high penalties for backyard breeders and people who do not spay/neuter their dogs and more funding for shelters and adoption agencies to help train and evaluate dogs before placing them. Breed Specific Language will not prevent tragedy while an educated public will absolutely create sweeping change. Stop Breed Specific Language and Let\'s Work Together To Legislate REAL CHANGE!
