As my colleague Leah Hoenen and I discussed the article she wrote about the tragic death of a patient who went missing at San Francisco General Hospital and was found dead 17 days later in a hospital stairwell, we were flabbergasted to say the least.
We kept coming back to one question: How could this happen at a major metropolitan health-care facility? The 57-year-old woman was admitted with a urinary tract infection.
SFGH, a level-one trauma center with 598 beds serving 100,000 patients a year, contracts with the local sheriff's department to provide its security. There's no official hospital security director, no proprietary staff.
I called Bryan Warren, president of the International Association for Hospital Security and Safety, for some context around this event.
"Smaller and rural hospitals don't always have good security. Sometimes maintenance people have to wear that hat. But at a large-scale hospital, it's very unusual. It shocks the conscience," Warren said in a phone interview, referring to SFGH.
It doesn't appear that the sheriff's deputies were up on hospital policies and procedures. There are missing patient protocols that need to be in place, Warren said. "There was a huge gap that resulted in a very tragic incident."
It's not unusual for major hospitals to supplement or complement their security teams with off-duty law enforcement, but to solely rely on them and not have them trained properly is a different story.
As Warren said, "Administrators take it for granted that because you're a deputy you can do hospital security. But it's a very different role, and until we get that point across as a profession, we're going to continue to have these challenges."
Thankfully, the hospital recently has made some security changes, and the sheriff has admitted flaws in his department's system and is reassigning staff.
I hope Security Director News will never have to report on a similar event in the near future. Make sure you read Leah's article here.
We here at Security Director News would like to give all veterans out there a big THANK YOU for your service to our country.
It's reassuring to know that many veterans work in the physical security industry, and that more are on their way in.
I spoke recently to one of SDN's "20 under 40" winners, a security director at a major installation, who I can't name yet because we haven't announced the winners. [But stay tuned for that … coming soon!] This winner is a veteran, as is his boss.
He said that when it comes to hiring for his team, he recruits ex-military, even to the point of going to local military offices to find out when personnel are returning to the area so that he can contact them about his job openings.
"We see value in hiring from the military," this up-and-coming pro said. "The government spent a lot of money to train these guys." Therefore, he knows they're up for the task at his highly secured enterprise.
Jeff Hawkins at American Military University agreed that in many cases ex-military "are a perfect fit" for physical security positions. "We've supported the vets over the last 10 years and that's a good idea," he said during a recent interview.
So thanks again to all of you veterans in the industry, and outside of the industry, a personal thanks to my dad, uncles, father-in-law and grandfathers.
The attack on at a TSA security checkpoint Nov. 1 at Los Angeles International Airport seems to have shocked the media, politicians and the general public.
I truly hope that it did not come as a surprise to any law enforcement or security practitioner.
There is a false sense of security that has been created by investing billions of dollars in creating TSA and security checkpoints after 9/11.
Up until last week's attack at LAX, many people really thought that they were safe from all threats at airports, and that could not be further from the truth.
In an article I wrote in July and several articles before that, I have expressed my concern with these TSA checkpoints, security in the terminal areas and the role of security and police.
Any metal detector/security checkpoint, be it at airports or elsewhere, without armed officers places everyone in jeopardy.
The fact that TSA has detected so many weapons over the years is laudable; however the fact that none of these weapons have been turned on them before the LAX incident is just lucky.
The initial thought of protecting airplanes from people getting on with weapons or explosives, as we experienced during the 9/11 attacks, is a good idea, but there is a distinct difference between a terrorist trying to "sneak" weapons or explosives onto a plane and an all-out assault.
And this applies to any security operation using metal detectors and security personnel.
One operation I was in charge of in Chicago years back was to provide security for a high-risk museum exhibit coming from another country. Even prior to the exhibit arriving, the museum was receiving threats.
The decision was made to deploy metal detectors for the three-month period that the exhibit would be in Chicago. It was a big decision at a big cost.
During the three months of the exhibit, we screened almost 400,000 people through three metal detectors. Every hour that the metal detectors were being used for screening the exhibit was staffed with nine off-duty armed police officers and 15 unarmed uniformed security officers; this was in addition to all other security personnel.
At the end of the three months the officers had confiscated 12 knives, six handguns and a stun gun.
Most of the people who had their weapons confiscated were honest people from other states who did not realize it was a felony to carry a handgun in Chicago even if you had a permit from another state. A couple of people were suspicious in nature and escorted out of the building, and the guy with the stun gun ran off once it was discovered.
But our role was to provide security, not to be the police and arrest or chase people; it was to keep everyone safe.
There was no way I would have staffed a metal detector checkpoint without armed officers being present—it doesn't make sense when you are dealing with the public, especially in a high risk environment.
Case in point can be made with the incident in 2009 at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington. A man with a rifle walked in and immediately shot and killed a security officer point blank.
The death of that security officer was tragic, but the immediate response from other armed security officers at the metal detector checkpoint shows why staffing these points with armed officer is vital: Several officers drew their weapons and returned fire, shooting through the glass doors and striking the gunman several times, stopping him.
Had the gunman made his way past the checkpoint, thousands of people, many of them schoolchildren, were potential victims.
As security practitioners it is our job to avoid creating a false sense of security, even at the cost of being politically incorrect on gun issues or having to tell our employers the truth about costs and risks.
Jeffrey Hawkins is manager, strategic initiatives, private security sector for American Military University. He is a former law enforcement supervisor who transitioned into the private security sector serving as chief security officer in the pharmaceutical, health care, cultural properties, religious and corporate industries.
The shooting at Los Angeles International Airport last week has sparked calls to look at TSA's overall procedures.
John Pistole, TSA administrator, says he'll be asking Congress for a thorough review, according to a report from NPR.
The shooting left one TSA officer dead and two other TSA employees and an airline passenger were injured. Suspect Paul Ciancia, 23, who was shot by police officers, faces charges of murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport. Legal documents say that Cianca fired repeatedly at TSA officer Gerardo I. Hernandez, 39. Cianca then turned back to see Hernandez move and returned to shoot him again.
One fallout debate appears to be focused on whether TSA agents should be armed, the same debate that surfaced after the agency was created shortly after 9/11. It also focuses on ongoing turf wars between airport police and the TSA.
Early on, armed police officers were stationed at airport entrances, NPR reports, but then some airports, including LAX, decided it would be better to have them moving throughout the facility.
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday that Ciancia's actions show how difficult it is to protect travelers at a massive airport such as LAX, according to a report from The Associated Press.
The terminals are open and easily accessible to thousands of people. "It's like a shopping mall outside the perimeter, it's almost like an open shopping mall," McCaul said, according to the AP report.
Marshall McClain, president of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, says arming TSA agents is unwise because they don't have firearms training and "weren't brought in to do the job airport police were," he told NPR.
Instead, McClain says, there should be more fortification at checkpoints and more use of biometrics such as face-recognition software.
American Military University's Jeff Hawkins disagrees. You can read his opinion in Security Director News' Guest Blog section here.
Meanwhile, a number of airports are upset with TSA's recent announcement that it will not provide personnel to secure airport exit ways. My hometown airport, however, has a new system already in place.
GLENDALE, Ariz.—When an unlucky thief failed to score the roll of copper wire he tried to nab from an air conditioning company truck in Glendale, Ariz., he left something behind that helped Arizona cops track him down: His severed finger.
An employee found a finger snagged in a spool of partially unwound copper wire, ABC News reports. Police took the digit to the Glendale Police Forensics Unit, took a print and matched it to one of Joshua Allen Goverman's that was already on file.
"I'm guessing he got in his car and was driving down the street trying to pull it off the spool and it got snagged on the car of this Subaru right here," a neighbor told ABC News affiliate KNXV-TV. "When that wire pulled tight, it popped the finger off."
When police arrested Goverman, 29, he said he'd lost the finger while working on a car. He also posted a photo on Facebook the day after the attempted theft, showing the stump where his finger was, according to ABC News.
Ewwww! and Ugh!
Happy Halloween, readers!
Quick, at which Florida airport do the most loaded-gun confiscations take place at security checkpoints or after being found in checked luggage?
No, not Miami, which serves 19.6 million department passengers per year. And no, not Orlando, which serves 17.5 million. It's the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which sees about 12 million departees on their way each year.
The Broward County airport has received this ranking for the second year in a row. So far this year, the TSA has intercepted 38 guns at Fort Lauderdale in both checked luggage and at the checkpoint. That compares to 35 in Orlando and 30 in Miami, according to a report in the Sun-Sentinel newspaper.
Last year, 42 firearms were intercepted in Fort Lauderdale, compared to 29 in Orlando, 23 in Jacksonville and 14 in Miami, the newspaper said.
For the record, travelers with gun permits may only transport unloaded firearms in a locked, hard-sided container or as checked baggage. All firearms, ammunition and firearm parts, including firearm frames and receivers, are prohibited in carry-on baggage. And all must be declared at check-in. All of the gun-carriers in Broward had concealed weapons permits, officials said, they just didn't follow the right protocol.
No one's is quite sure why Fort Lauderdale comes in "first" on the list. The article points out that at New York's JFK, one of the busiest airports in the nation, only one gun was spotted.
"If you are prepared for a zombie invasion, you are prepared for anything," Devan Tucking-Strickler, human services officer-deputy State Emergency Operations Center manager, told the Topeka Capital-Journal.
Sounds about right to me. I'm not big into zombies—don't understand that craze at all—and have never seen "The Walking Dead." (Although I did love the "Triller" video, I say, aging myself.) Still, I'd like to know what to do if I happened upon one of these undead folks.
The Kansas Division of Emergency Management, as I write, is about to begin its third annual Zombie Preparedness Fair, a three-hour interactive event today aimed at educating the public about emergency preparedness.
"So, we want to give you information and ideas to consider when making a home emergency kit and developing an emergency plan so you're ready for tornadoes, floods, blizzards or even zombies," Tucking-Strickler said in the news report.
The newspaper reports, "A new feature at this year's event will be a 'Zombie Quarantine Area' to hold people who become 'zombies' if they are unable to answer preparedness questions. They may become human again by successfully answering questions.
"Participating agencies will be providing informational brochures, family disaster plan wallet-cards, disaster kit labels, activity books, stickers and other items. Guests will visit different stations to learn about food storage, preparedness on the go, building a disaster bucket, automobile preparedness, building a family disaster plan, conducting disaster drills and more. There will be games and activities for the kids, prize drawings and a zombie walk at 7 p.m.
"Participating agencies include KDEM, Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Fred the Preparedness Dog, Shawnee County Medical Reserve Corps, Medical Reserve Corp of Douglas County, American Red Cross, Northeast Kansas Regional County Animal Response Team, Shawnee County Emergency Management, Shawnee County Community Emergency Response Team, and the Kansas Wing of the Civil Air Patrol."
I know a number of communities host these zombie/emergency events. But somehow the thought of this one in Kansas—think cornfields and such—gives me more of the willies.
So I'm sitting here in the office after my lunch break outside on one of the most gorgeous autumn days in Maine when I read the news: "Middle school shooting in Reno, Nev. Two dead, two injured."
As I'm writing this, it appears that the two fatalities were a teacher and the "student/suspect." There was no word yet if the student/suspect was killed by law enforcement or if it was self-inflicted, CNN reported. USA Today reports, however that the shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Two male students were seriously injured. The last I read, one was in serious condition, the other in fair condition.
The school, Sparks Middle School, has about 700 students in seventh and eighth grades, reports said.
Thankfully, all other students were evacuated safely.
I'm even more heartsick because I've spoken to so many of you knowledgeable, caring security professionals who have worked to protect our children at their schools, be they pre-K to university campuses. know of your efforts.
But this alleged shooter was in seventh or eighth grade? Making him 12, 13 or 14?
When will this stop?
ALEXANDRIA, Va.—It's official. Attendance was up by 5.5 percent at the 2013 ASIS conference, held last month in Chicago, the organization reports. Good news for ASIS, great news for the industry.
The 59th annual conference drew 20,600 security professionals from 76 nations, and more than 640 companies were on the exhibit floor. Nearly 200 educational sessions were held, too. No wonder I have barely caught up since my return!
It truly was a productive, action-packed event. If you missed it here's a roundup of the visits I made along with Martha Entwistle's from Security Systems News.
Next up on the conference circuit for me is our very own TechSec Solutions, coming right up in January. I've just started to speak to my "20 under 40" award winners in preparation for that, so stay tuned. Again, a great "class" of your pros.
Public safety and security provide significant growth opportunities for the location industry, in applications ranging from criminal surveillance to emergency response. But not all location solutions are alike, and some work better than others in powering the next-generation efforts of law enforcement and private security organizations. The two technologies most in use today are:
· Global Positioning System-based location systems. These require GPS receiver chipsets to be included in the caller's mobile device. GPS solutions take relatively longer to locate a target resulting in possible life-threatening situations for emergency callers. GPS solutions work well in direct line-of-sight conditions with the satellites, such as suburban and rural areas, but are challenged in dense urban areas and indoor environments where most calls originate.
· RF Pattern Matching [RFPM] is a network-based positioning method based on radio-link measurements collected from the network, using the device's own radio signals to identify its location and eliminate any dependency on satellites or other hardware. RFPM is able to locate all callers across any air interface and in any environment, eliminating limitations related to the phone type or network technology. RFPM works extremely well in non line-of-sight conditions, such as dense urban and indoor environments, and is highly reliable for mission-critical applications.
As high-accuracy wireless location solutions become increasingly prevalent in public safety applications, law enforcement organizations are finding new and creative uses:
· Gunshot detection. As profiled in a recent 60 Minutes episode, the Springfield, Mass., police department deployed a location-based application called ShotSpotter that detects the sources of gunshots using acoustic measurements, detecting over 4,000 gunshots in the first two years it was deployed, leading to more than 25 arrests.
· Augmented reality. Imagine an officer approaching a suspect location. By using location technology interfacing with court and police records that have been geo-tagged, the officer can instantly access all outstanding warrants, arrest records of persons living there, and other useful information to better assess the situation before he enters the building.
· Facial recognition. An officer can photograph a suspect in the field under surveillance and upload the photo to headquarters where it is instantly analyzed. The suspect identification and related information (criminal record, arrest warrants, known associates) is then relayed back to the officer, providing a real-time snapshot of the suspect and better equipping the officer.
· License plate reader. When tailing a suspect vehicle, an officer can scan license plates and check against a database to determine if the car is stolen, has been used in a crime, belongs to a crime suspect, etc. The location application can also alert other officers in the area if backup is required and determine the most optimal routes to intercept the suspect vehicle.
· Crime heat maps. Location technology can be used to create crime "heat maps" based on public safety statistics to identify concentrations of various types of crime, such as auto theft and burglary, and respond accordingly. The officer will be alerted when he has crossed a virtual geo-fence into such a hotspot so that the officer can prepare and respond. Similarly, headquarters can filter and analyze geo-tagged events such as arrests, 911 calls and more to determine patterns and better allocate resources.
Location-enabled solutions for security applications help protect the public and law enforcement officers, and they are cost effective, often resulting in smarter use of resources. Most importantly, high-accuracy wireless location technology gives public safety organizations an advantage over criminals and opens new doors to more advanced applications in the future.

Homemade Winter Gifts: Fun to make and give, while going easy on your wallet
Snow Globe Candle Holder
Countless decorations are bought over the holidays. Snow globes remind us of winter wonderlands, and making one is easy and cheap. The items needed for this project only cost about eight dollars, with the help of the Dollar Tree and Walmart.
• 1 Wine glass
• Fake snow
• cardboard
• winter figurine
• ribbon (optional)
Place glass upside down onto cardboard and trace the circumference of the opening. I attached my objects to the cardboard using a hot glue gun. You could use winter figurines, pinecones, old jewelry or even a photograph. Put a few table spoons of fake snow in wine glass. Line rim of glass with hot glue and press on cardboard. You can decorate the stem with ribbon or glitter.
Dressed-up Candy
This craft is so easy. Artistic skills aren't required! All you need to do is cover a candy bar in poster paper, and then decorate. It costs less than $2 to make, and it can be easily personalized.
• Poster paper
• Candy bar
• Orange paper/foam
• Yarn
Wrap candy bar in card stock or poster paper. Decorate with your favorite winter theme or a personalized message.
Winter Light Candle
Candles are always an easy gift, but it doesn't have to be boring or spendy. With a Dollar Tree candle and glass stand, a nice attractive gift is simple to make. With small beads and glitter and some double stick tape, a gift can be made for less than $5.
• Candle
• Double stick tape
• Seed beads/Glitter
• Glass stand
Take a simple candle, create a design made with double-stick tape and then roll it in small beads and glitter.
Sweetness in a Jar
With the weather taking a turn for the cold, there's nothing better than warming up with a drink. While this gift is simple, it is also cheap and easy to make. And, the possibilities for presentation are endless. All it requires is six ingredients. One jar of ingredients costs roughly around $6. The ingredients can all be found at Winco and Wal-Mart. And, it makes two servings.
• 1 pint mason jar
• 1/4 cup powdered milk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips
• 1 crushed peppermint candy
• 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Layer dry ingredients to your liking. Then add hot water.

Avant-Garde Jewelry Co. Brings Back Extended Return/Exchange Policy for Holiday Season
PR Log
- Nov 13, 2012 -
Cincinnati, Ohio:
– Avant-Garde Jewelry, the Ohio-based crafter of unique, contemporary titanium jewelry, including titanium rings for men and women, men's and
women's tungsten rings
and ceramic and platinum necklaces, crosses, bracelets and other fine pieces, has announced the return of its annual holiday extension on the deadline for returns and exchanges.
Customers who purchase items between November 10 and December 31 will have until January 15, 2013 to return or exchange their items without any additional restrictions.
Avant-Garde, doing business online as TitaniumStyle.com, first offered extensions on its holiday return and exchange policies for all titanium rings, titanium wedding bands and its other fine-quality jewelry items in 2008, which, as company president Anton Polishuk says, proved wildly successful, as more customers found the option of having a longer period of time to return or exchange gifts, resulted in increased buyer confidence and overall customer satisfaction.
"We know from experience extending our return and exchange policy for holiday shoppers gives buyers more peace of mind when it comes to selecting gifts for others or even for themselves," said Polishuk. "It makes perfect sense in this economy to extend our refunds and exchanges policy so that we give buyers and recipients some breathing room over the holiday season to make choices about their purchases and gifts without a strict time pressure."
Typically, Avant-Garde's policy on returns and exchanges is 14 days from purchase. The extension makes it possible for early shoppers to not have to worry about an approaching deadline for returning items that won't be opened before Christmas Day.
The extension also allow buyers who visit the site more time to consider their purchasing power for gifts for family and friends and the ability to enjoy the holidays without pressure regarding restrictions on return dates.
"We've always experienced positive feedback on this policy," said Polishuk. Our customers know that, while our other basic returns and exchange policies remain intact, the extensions are our way of showing our gratitude for their interest in what we offer, as well as our commitment to them to simplify the buying, giving and receiving process so that they can shop with confidence."
About Avant-Garde Jewelry Co
., Avant-Garde Jewelry Company specializes in creation of unique jewelry pieces, including titanium rings; tungsten rings with ceramic, gold, platinum and diamond inlays, and a range of other high-quality titanium items.

After 30 years on the force, Terri Molakides calls it quits
Original post made on Jul 8, 2008

For the Almanac Staff- "...calls it Quits" is the best you could come up with for a title? Nice tribute for such a selfless THIRTY YEAR community servant!
I have known Commander Molakides since we worked for the city as teenagers. What amazes me to this day are not only her professional accomplishments, but raising a family, and earning both her undergraduate and graduate degrees while working full time; and not some regular M-F/9-5 type job, but one that is highly stressful and demanding. I have seen her under tremendous strain and pressure and Terri ALWAYS stayed calm, cool and collected. She is a mentor, coach, manager and leader, all the while being a graceful and dignified woman. I certainly hope the new "command staff" administration will settle in to continue the momentum Terri has built.
on Jul 9, 2008 at 8:13 am
How nice for her to be able to retire at 50 and still receive what is essentially a full salary for the rest of her life--most likely many decades--while the rest of us work into our 70s to pay for her retirement.
on Jul 9, 2008 at 9:20 am
The pension system is a disaster and needs to be fixed before other cities and special districts join Vallejo in bankruptcy. But that's for another thread.
Terri Molakides is a shining star in her field and an exemplary human being. I wish her all the best in her retirement and thank her for her years of tremendous commitment to public service.

Bird handlers say they're using tracking devices made for dog collars to pinpoint the locations of two eagles that soar above the Jordan-Hare Stadium at Auburn University.
Tagg the Pet Tracker is a GPS device used mainly for dogs that allows pet owners to use their phones to find lost pets. This year, the company donated trackers to the Southeastern Raptor Rehabilitation Center, which handles the Auburn eagles.
Raptor specialist Andrew Hopkins told the Opelika-Auburn News (http://bit.ly/17cMAAS ) the devices, which weigh about an ounce, could bring handlers to within 10 feet of a lost bird if one were to ever fly out of the stadium.

Doctor's Pass in Naples is in desperate need of dredging. Monday, the ball finally got rolling with the process.
The pass has areas that are only 4 feet deep - making it dangerous for boaters to pass through.
This has been a hot topic with residents for quite some time.
Collier TDC approved a $22,000 work order that will call for a monitoring process to see how bad the pass really is.
Once they get this information, they'll determine how much dredging needs to be done.
We spoke with a couple whose boat actually got stuck on the pass last week because an area was so shallow.
They've been boating through the pass since 1994 and have never seen it this bad. They got stuck during medium-high tide, when the pass is supposed to be in the best condition.
They said if it was at low tide, they would've been there for hours.
They were relieved to hear the first step was taken today at the TDC meeting.

KHQ.COM - The Secret Service is investigating a skimming case at a North Spokane bank. They say someone put a skimmer onto an ATM outside U.S. Bank on North Division. The skimmer looks like part of the ATM but it's designed to steal your information when you insert your card into the machine. Spokane County Sheriff's Lieutenant Steve Barbieri says he doesn't believe anyone's account was jeopardized because they found the skimmer on the ATM, before the thieves could take account information off of it.
The case serves as an important reminder to keep a close eye on your account information. Lieutenant Barbieri says to examine bank and credit card statements and look for any unknown charges, even if they're small. He says to conduct a credit check one or two times a year. This will notify you of any unpaid bills that you didn't know about. Also, contest any unknown charges. Lieutenant Barbieri says your bank will usually cover your loss. Finally, if you do fall victim, he says to shut down your accounts and open new ones so that thieves can't continue to steal from you.
Barbieri says the Secret Service is investigating the case at U.S. Bank because they believe whoever put the skimmer on the ATM, has tried to commit the crime elsewhere. He says identity theft rings are widespread and far-reaching, sometimes involving up to 100 people.

Shard to attract Chinese visitors
Britain's highest and newest attraction is being used this week to lure more Chinese visitors to the UK. Standing 1,016ft high, The Shard in London is due to open in the new year.
Representatives of The View from The Shard will be part of a delegation visiting Shanghai this week to promote UK tourism
The 40 organisation-strong mission will also include promoters of the Burlington Arcade in Piccadilly and retailer John Lewis. Research by VisitBritain shows that Chinese visitors are drawn to the UK by its rich culture and heritage, its countryside and its shopping experiences.
Last year a record 150,000 visitors arrived in the UK from China, spending £240 million in the process. Over the last five years the UK has welcomed a 39% rise in visits from China, and VisitBritain hopes that by 2020 it can attract an additional 233,000 visitors - a 156% increase.

You would be forgiven for not knowing who this Josh Reddick playing for the Oakland Athletics is, and why he already has 10 homers through 38 games of the season. After all, he had a few random cups of coffee with Boston over the last few seasons, and was never made into a full-time starter with them in 2011, despite the absence of regular right fielder J.D. Drew. He was dealt to Oakland this winter in the Andrew Bailey deal, though, and he was given the chance to play every day. At this point, it looks like he has a stranglehold on a job he's never been able to keep.
Reddick took a strange path to the majors. He was a 17th-round selection of the Red Sox in the 2006 amateur draft, but didn't start until 2007. Once there, Boston threw him straight into full-season Single-A, where he mashed as if he hadn't taken any time off, and had him finish up the season in Double-A Portland.
Boston then sent him back to Single-A, with Reddick spending more time with High-A Lancaster than anywhere in 2008. To no one's surprise -- this is Lancaster we're talking about -- Reddick just hit and hit, posting a line of .343/.375/.593. Reddick featured impressive plate coverage, as well as plenty of power. The one thing he lacked at this stage was any semblance of patience.
Prospects with some hitting ability can get through a significant chunk of the minors without any kind of discipline at the plate. Eventually, more advanced pitchers with more refined stuff, who have developed their own plans, will start to push against these undisciplined sluggers. Plenty adjust to this, but there are those who never push back hard enough.
Reddick's first real stint at Double-A fit the latter mold, as he hit all of .214/.290/.436, with just 12 walks and 25 strikeouts over 132 plate appearances. His lack of discipline led to pitchers exploiting him, knowing he would swing at just about anything. He might not have struck out constantly at the level, but he set himself up for weak contact and defensive swings with his aggressive nature, and it reflected in his batting average just the same.
He was still just 22 years old in 2009, though, meaning there was plenty of time to develop further, closing this hole in his game. That's just what he did, too, as his second full stint at Double-A produced a line of .277/.352/.520 with 33 extra-base hits in 287 plate appearances. It was rinse and repeat for him after a promotion, though, with Reddick struggling in his brief time in both the majors and in Triple-A.
The 2010 season started out much the same way, as Reddick's strike zone was far too expanded for him to be able to hit. Pitchers knew what he was about, and they weren't making life easy for him -- why should they, given he was bound to swing at just about anything? Something clicked after the All-Star break, though, and Reddick started to look once again like a player with a future. In the second half, Reddick hit a crazy .351/.372/.627 over his final 185 at-bats. There weren't many walks to go around, but it's hard to complain given the power outburst.
In 2011, Reddick once again began the season at Triple-A. Ryan Kalish had passed him on the depth chart thanks to a strong 2010 campaign, and it was expected he would be the first line of defense against an outfield injury. Kalish went down before anyone in Boston did, though, and Reddick hit .230/.333/.508 in his first 231 plate appearances for Pawtucket. The average was low, but he looked like he had finally established some plate discipline without sacrificing his power. In just 52 games, he drew more walks (33) than he had in 132 previous contests at Triple-A.
Reddick started to play nearly every day in Boston, and finished the year with an above-average .280/.327/.457. He didn't draw many walks -- though no one expected him to -- but it wasn't for a lack of discipline. He drew 3.8 pitches per plate appearance, and kept his strikeouts down as well. Reddick fouled off pitches until he saw what he wanted to, and while it didn't always result in a base hit or a walk, it was still an impressive display of strike zone recognition from a 24-year-old rookie.
His numbers suffered as the year went on and more off-speed and breaking pitches were thrown his way, as is typical of all non-Bryce Harper rookies. Boston still liked Reddick, but with Kalish working his way back from surgery, and Reddick's name popping up in trade negotiations, they moved him to the Athletics.
As seems to be the case with Reddick at each level, his second go-round has been much improved. He's hitting .283/.337/.546 with 10 homers and 19 extra-base hits. Sans context, that's a significant jump from his 2011 production, but when you throw in that he moved from friendly Fenway to the cavernous Coliseum, the difference sticks out that much more.
He's drawing more walks, likely a by-product of taking even more pitches (four per plate appearance). That also likely has helped him hit for more power, as he's taken control of more plate appearances than before, forcing the pitcher to throw him something he can send into orbit. It's not a predictive stat, but according to Fangraphs' pitch value data, Reddick has had no trouble with the secondary stuff that gave him fits in the past. It also helps that the league is throwing more fastballs his way, a mistake they're likely to recognize and rectify soon.
All of this would be fine on its own, but Reddick is also a quality defender. He had a plus arm coming up through Boston's system, and it's been on display quite a few times this year already:
A quality defender with a dangerous bat, and he's playing for the Oakland Athletics without the name "Cespedes" across his shoulders. That might be a surprise to many fans -- it might even be a surprise to the A's, who initially wanted lefty Felix Doubront rather than Reddick in the Andrew Bailey trade -- but to anyone who has followed the ups and downs of his career, Reddick's success in 2012 is just the next step for a player who has always had the tools.

Customer Reviews
By: Nicolas Gonzalez from Austin, TX on 12/28/2013The stick pony was just as advertised. My son loved it. Very nice seeing my son riding around saying horsey, horsey. My niece did the same thing. Great classic gift to bring back traditional childhood. I never had one of these when I was a kid and wish I did.

Courtesy ISU Sports Information:
In a back-and-forth battle that featured nine ties and 18 lead changes, Illinois State (11-4, 3-1 MVC) got a three-pointer at the buzzer from junior forward Jackie Carmichael to come away with a 75-73 victory over Evansville (7-7, 2-2 MVC) Saturday on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena.
Carmichael threw up the three-pointer, the first made three-pointer in his three seasons at ISU, as time expired to finish the game and lead the Redbirds with 17 points to go along with seven rebounds. Tyler Brown chipped in 16 points in the win for the 'Birds and Nic Moore rounded out a trio of Redbirds in double figures with 10 points. Evansville junior Colt Ryan led all scorers with 25 points, his fourth-straight game with 25 points or more scored, and was joined in double figures by Denver Holmes with 18 and Ryan Sawvell with 10.
Evansville took an early 4-1 lead, but a three-pointer from Jon Ekey kick-started a 10-2 run over four-plus minutes of play to give ISU an 11-6 lead at the 13:53 mark after a layup by Jordan Threloff. Back-to-back jumpers from Ryan and Sawvell cut the Redbird lead to 11-10 just a minute later and the Purple Aces regained the lead at 13-12 on a three-pointer by Holmes at the 11:12 mark. However, Moore quickly answered with a three-point basket of his own to give the Redbirds the lead back at 15-13. Another layup by Threloff extended the Redbird lead to 17-13, but a three-pointer by Evansville's Jordan Nelson cut the ISU lead to one point again at 17-16.
With Illinois State leading 19-18, a jumper from Ryan put the Purple Aces back ahead at 20-19 with just over seven minutes left in the first half, but a layup by Moore kept the see-saw battle going and put Illinois State back up 21-20 with 6:33 left on the clock. Evansville took the lead once again after another three-pointer by Holmes made the score 24-23 with 4:21 left in the first half.
ISU took the lead back at 25-24 after a layup by John Wilkins, but Evansville answered with two free throws from Ryan and a layup by Sawvell to take a 28-25 lead and force ISU to call a timeout with just over two minutes left in the half. Evansville maintained a small lead and headed into the locker room with a three-point lead at 32-29, after two late free throws from Jaylon Moore. The first half featured nine lead changes and the score was tied four times in a back-and-forth first 20 minutes of play.
Evansville used a 6-2 run early in the second half to take a 40-33 lead after jumper by Ryan and maintained a seven-point lead at the 16:29 mark, but a jumper from Tyler Brown and a three-pointer from Bryant Allen cut the Evansville lead to 44-42 just a minute later. The Purple Aces answered with a quick 6-0 run, after a pair of free throws by Ryan, to take their largest lead of the game at 50-42, before another three-pointer from Allen cut the lead back to five at 50-45 with 13:09 left in the game.
The Redbirds extended that run to 11-2, capped off by a three-pointer from Anthony Cousin, to take their first lead of the second half at 53-52 with just over 10 minutes left. UE answered with a quick bucket from Ned Cox to get the lead right back at 54-53, before Brown hit from long distance to give ISU the lead back at 56-54 just seconds later. Ryan continued his hot shooting for Evansville and high back-to-back jumpers to give his team the lead back at 58-57 at the 7:36 mark and a jumper by Holmes extended the lead to 60-57 a minute later.
ISU would come back to tie the game at 62-62 with 5:40 left on a three-pointer by Moore, and the two squads exchanged baskets to a 68-68 tie with 1:45 left in the game after three-straight baskets from Carmichael. The Redbirds took the lead at 70-68 after a layup from Brown with 43 seconds left in the game and forced Evansville to call a timeout with 25 seconds left after a solid defensive effort.
After the timeout, Ryan nailed a three-pointer at the top of the key to take a 71-70 lead, but Moore took the ball coast-to-coast for a layup to give the Redbirds a 72-71 lead with 11 seconds left. Evansville got the ball across half court quickly and Ryan got a shot off that was partially blocked by Carmichael, but Lewis Jones corralled the rebound and hit both free throws with 2.8 seconds left on the clock to put the Purple Aces up 73-72.
Illinois State got one more shot and Threloff inbounded the ball with a full-court pass, which was grabbed by Carmichael who threw up a three-pointer from the corner and banked it in as time expired for the dramatic 75-73 win for the Redbirds.

Pinewood Derby
Tips & Hints
The best part of pinewood derby is designing a unique, cool car that you can call your own. Don't worry about aerodynamics because it is almost insignificant. We identify dozens of other speed tips in Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets that rank far above aerodynamics.
Pinewood Derby
weights Tip
Need a little extra weight on weigh in but didn't bring extra weight with you? Use a coin! Here are the weights of US coins in ounces: penny .11 oz, nickel .17 oz, dime .07 oz, quarter .18 oz

lubes Hint
Nyoil stays on your axles throughout the race, unlike powdered graphite that blows off every time your car goes down the track. This gives Nyoil coated axles a speed advantage if your car keeps racing.

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalDanger, Will Robinson! Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't think the cinematic future of 'Sex and the City' is over. In fact, she knows that there is "one more story to tell," though not right now.
The woman behind Carrie Bradshaw told the L.A. Times, "I'd definitely tell that [third] story, and I know Michael would do it right. But maybe not now. Maybe in five years, you know?" Though Parker doesn't mention it specifically, the piece suggests that a third film would explore Carrie finally taking the plunge into parenthood.
Why wait? Parker says it's "literally no good" for her not to be "terrified and nauseous and worried the first two weeks of production." So she wants to continue working on new projects, like her upcoming 'I Don't Know How She Does It,' before returning to the old Manolos.
This begs the question: What's the point of a number three with more babies, and where is the sex in this city?
Miranda kicked off the baby train, and Charlotte continued it with two more (one adopted). In that time, on TV and the big screen, we've dealt with trying to have a sex life as the baby cries, babies accidentally spotting sex, how parenthood affects friendships, how it interferes with work, how it can frazzle a mom, how sexy nannies can pluck at insecurities, how parenthood can lead to an indifference about sex ... The topic has been covered.
Furthermore, with or without an increasingly baby-centric plot, again, where's the sex in this city? The title would be quite ludicrous if more parental themes enter the picture. Will the crew simply throw Samantha, the lone single lady, into more increasingly overt and flamboyant portrayals of sexuality? Right. Because her story line in the second film wasn't ridiculous enough.
If they want to revisit the topic in five or so years, go for it. But use it as a final installment that returns to the fundamental principles of the show. Samantha remains single and loving it (though in a subdued form and with more of her professional talents intact). Now that Brady is a teen, Miranda and Steve learn how to balance work, parenthood and reinvigorating their nightlife. Charlotte figures out motherhood and decides that it's time to go back to work. Carrie and Big do something, anything, that doesn't involve cheating.
If not, and they want to continue into the stratosphere of ridiculousness, it's probably time to hand over the torch, even though Parker doesn't like the idea. In response to news that Candace Bushnell's early Bradshaw adventures would hit the screen, Parker said, "I was like, Wha-a-a-a-t? There are a lot of important and interesting stories that 21-year-olds can tell. ... But I don't think we can pretend to go back. It's creating two histories." If comic fans have handled it for years, I'm sure the SATC audiences can, especially when their 20-something days were never referenced heavily.
What do you think? Is it time for the women to head forward ... or back?

Motorcyclist injured when he lays his bike down
May 3, 2013
News-Register Staff
A motorcyclist was injured Thursday afternoon when he laid his 2004 Harley-Davidson down to avoid rear-ending a vehicle, according to McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified the victim as Steve P. Farley, 60, of 16801 S.W. Masonville Road, McMinnville. He gave this account:
Farley was riding northbound in the 2100 block of N.E. Lafayette Ave. when he took evasive action to avoid crashing into a vehicle that was part of a line of vehicles.
He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Cascade Steel Rolling Mills property and then flown by a Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He was reported in serious condition.
The incident remains under investigation and no citations have been issued. Officers have not had an opportunity to interview Farley, Symons said.

Tomorrow I join the ranks of
Mrs. G is a mother, blogger, teacher, homeschooler, writer... and an inspiration. Her self-effacing and insightful wit keep her readers on the edge of their computer chair for more. Derfwad Manor was the original site of the Secret Celebrity Crush, where Mrs. G publicly declared her love for one Johnny Depp, and then got labeled a Sinny Sinnerson in her comments by an anonymous Judgy Judgerson. Nevertheless, Mrs. G dragged other bloggers out of the sinning closet and we subsequently declared our own celebrity crushes.
Mrs. G copped to the lies she told her children. Many of us fessed up to a few more of our own. We all regret raising such computer-literate children, because now the cat is out of the bag and we can't put the generic cereal into the Lucky Charms box anymore. But we're not blaming Mrs. G. Honesty is cleansing.
By far, the most interest that Mrs. G has sparked on her blog is for her own retirement plan, The Woman's Colony. Graciously, Mrs. G has shared her plan with her readers and invited us all to join her there. Once Mrs. G gets Oprah on board - and she will - her plan will come to fruition and we will all retire to a place where no toilet seat is left up, where Matt Damon-alikes are butlers, and three squares are prepared daily by not us.
Truly a class act, Mrs. G publicly apologized to a woman she wronged in the past, none other than the quasi-famous actress Sally Kellerman.
Yes, I flaked on the final. You do the math. I went into the final exam with a 99% average and it was only worth something like 20% of the final grade. I'm no math major, but I guess leaving and just not doing the essay portion probably hurt me.

The Issue: Pedestrian safety
Our View: More attention, less distraction, is needed
We have long cautioned drivers to be aware when they are behind the wheel — don't drink and drive, don't be a distracted driver, curb your aggressiveness, etc.
Whether or not everyone listens, those messages are delivered on a regular basis.
Here's an important message for pedestrians — that includes joggers, baby buggy pushers and dog walkers: Keep your head up and watch where you walk.
That's the advice Ontario Medical Association president Dr. Doug Weir and Hal Johnson from Body Break are driving home with the launch of Strut Safely, which urges pedestrians to be aware of their surroundings and to stay alert.
With November and December being the darkest months of the year, it's a timely point to drive home.
The number of pedestrian fatalities in the province is alarming, with about 100 pedestrians killed every year in Ontario walking and crossing the street.
According to the Ontario Road Safety Annual Report, 55 per cent of pedestrian and vehicle collisions happen after dark.
The same report goes on to reveal that 20 per cent of pedestrians killed in collisions are inattentive or distracted by cellphones, mp3 players or other devices.
As a result, Ontario's doctors are providing some helpful tips for staying safe. They are encouraging people to:
• Put their cell phones away when walking and crossing streets;
• Use one ear bud when listening to music, so they can still hear bells, horns and other pedestrians;
• Wear brightly coloured or reflective clothing so they are visible when it is dark.
To view the Strut Safely video, check it out on YouTube.

Intracoastal dredging occurring behind Longboat Key
Date: March 14, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is dredging the Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of Jewfish Key and Sister Keys this week.
The dredge material, which isn't suitable for sand placement, is being placed on nearby Egmont Key.
The dredge, named "Murden," started dredging the waterway in northern Manatee County and is working its way down the Intracoastal.
West Coast Inland Navigation District is managing the project, which is being performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The more it snows, the more the piles in the parking lot of Queensgate Towne Center start to resemble mini mountains.
It isn't that York County has gotten a lot of snow. We've just gotten snowed on a lot.
The storm frequency — little by little — causes some businesses to run out of space to store the frozen precipitation.
"There are large piles," said Ellen Small, property manager for LMS Commercial Real Estate, which manages Queensgate. "Sometimes you have to think about trucking them off to another area if it gets too bad, but we're hoping we don't have that issue."

Continuous winter storms take toll on budgets
The York Township shopping center has contractors, Small said, that are asked to plow each time the accumulation reaches two inches or more.
"The way the snow has been falling, it's during the day when the tenants have been open," Small said. "It has been a real struggle when there are cars everywhere. Ideally it's better when it snows at night, but unfortunately the last couple snows have not cooperated that way."
Plowing around cars can be tricky, too.
At Beshore and Koller in Manchester Township, the process takes four hours and about 10 people, said Rick Schaffner, new car manager.
The Ford dealership must brush off all of its inventory and plow the parking spaces. Sometimes, they need extra help.
"We do have people from time to time that are laid off — customers or whatever — that come in and help," Schaffner said. "We had two of those the last time."
At Shiloh Paving and Excavating, plowing is an art.
Piling too high near a lot entrance can obstruct motorists' views, said Scott Snyder, paving foreman for the company, which manages snow removal for properties including the West Manchester Mall, West York Area School District and the Manchester Crossroads shopping center.
Sometimes, they haul the snow away with dump trucks or hire contractors to remove the excess.
"You just have to look at your customer and get a plan of where you want to keep your snow piles and go from there," Snyder said. "
For businesses that don't contract their plowing, snow can be a major bummer.
At D&K Surplus in Windsor Township, a store employee with a plow on his truck usually cleans the lots.
"We're still able to keep the parking spaces open," said Jane Fogle, the grocery store's general manager. "As long as the snow doesn't get too insane on us, we'll be all right."
The snow poses more of a problem for morning commutes. Some of D&K's employees drive to work from places such as Chanceford Township and Airville.
Sometimes, they can't make it in.
It's the same story with customers.
"We sell a lot because of snow panic before the storm," Fogle said, "but it doesn't make up for the people that don't shop because they can't get out. We're looking forward to spring here."
