Coach Anderson greets some Mizzou fans in Washington.
March 15, 2011
Arlington, Va. -
Mizzou Basketball In D.C.
Missouri Basketball has arrived in Washington, D.C. The Tigers left Columbia at approximately 10 a.m. CT and landed in the nation's capital shortly after 1 p.m. ET.
The flight into Dulles International was fairly uneventful (always a good thing) and in addition to the team / basketball coaching staff, several department staffers, Tiger Scholarship Fund members, cheer squad and band members made the trip.
Typically when we fly out of Columbia we fly a small 30-seater... zero wasted seats. Today (full sized jet) the players felt big time. The seats had satellite radio and the guys had an empty seat between them to help spread out. In addition, the new travel companions were a plus. This year's team might be one of the most inviting in quite some time. They got up out of their seats and chatted with just about everyone... welcome to the family!
As we made the trek to the team hotel the bus driver detoured through the National Mall. We saw the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, White House, etc. Such an awesome experience and Kim English was a great tour guide for us, helping us catch a glimpse of the key attractions. The Baltimore, Md., is no stranger to the D.C. area.
It was about a 40-minute trip from Dulles to the hotel (definitely not the Fastest 40 Minutes), so once we arrived and checked in, the team scattered for lunch. One unnoticed part of road trips is the work put in ahead of time by our Director of Basketball Operations Jeff Daniels and Associate Athletics Director Mark Alnutt. At the hotel the room keys and packets were ready to go and room assignments were already taken care of. It's pretty much thankless work, but it gets the team off their feet and able to get some time to eat/rest before practice.
Also at the hotel we had a chance to see Missouri alum, Jeremy Harlan. Jeremy graduated from Mizzou in 1999. In Columbia he assisted at KOMU and now works in CNN's Washington Bureau... another former J-Schooler doing big time things! And believe it or not, his sister, Chelsea, interns in our media relations office.
The team practiced tonight at Marymount University. It was a 40-minute drive from Arlington, Va., to Marymount. It was a full-scale practice and several of Marymount's students and student-athletes watched the workout. Kudos to their staff for a first-class experience. It's a quaint gym and it appears they play in the same league as: Wesley College, Stevenson University, Frostburg State, Hood College, St. Mary's College, Salisbury University and York College (judging by the banners on the wall).
Tonight Missouri will keep it low-key. The Tigers have dinner on their own and there's no shortage of options around the hotel. There is an underground mall that has a number of restaurants and shops and the free time will allow the guys to explore a great area of the country many haven't seen before.
Curfew is at 11 p.m. ET, so the night will end rather promptly. The real excitement gets underway tomorrow with a pair of practices, including an open workout at the Verizon Center and media day. Staffers have a number of meetings as well, so Wednesday is a full day. In fact it's much busier than game day.
We'll check back in tomorrow to give updates on Missouri Basketball at the 2011 NCAA Tournament in Washington, D.C.

Preserving probably the most important working elements of the automobile starts with having a good Ford hood. This specific panel is mounted at the frame of your motor vehicle using a pair or collection of hood hinges on one side, adjacent to the actual cowl, and then to the front-most with a latch and lock on the other. A good hood is accessible through a metal key and keyless entries; a hood strut is likewise in the compartment hold it in an angle.
An extra hood scoop is often added-on to the Ford hood to improve its performance and appearance. Shielding extras just like hood bra, bug deflector, and hood guard are also essential in enhancing the overall performance as well as appearance of the automobile. Over time, a car hood will need replacement.

Denver remains No. 1 market for Obama-Romney ads in campaign's final days
- Mark Harden
- News Director- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Denver remained the nation's top market for local-television campaign advertising on behalf of President Barack Obama and challenger Mitt Romney in late October, just as it was earlier in the month, according to a new report by the Wesleyan Media Project.
A total of 4,689 commercials appeared on Denver-area TV stations between Oct. 22 and 29 supporting one of the two presidential candidates, topping No. 2 Las Vegas (4,433 ads), No. 3 Orlando, Fla. (3,767 ads), No. 4 Cleveland (3,668) and No. 5 Tampa, Fla. (3,441), Wesleyan calculates.
Grand Junction was 17th on the list (2,263 ads) and Colorado Springs 21st (2,151 ads).
> Election 2012: Denver Business Journal coverage of the race for the White House.
> Spend election night with the DBJ.
The total includes ads paid for by the two candidates' campaigns as well as those booked by outside groups that support either Romney or Obama.
An earlier Wesleyan report, covering the period of Oct. 1-21, also showed Denver as the most heavily saturated market for presidential campaign commercials, with a total of 9,950 on local channels. It said the ads in that period cost an estimated $13.7 million.
The tallies do not include ads on national cable channels that aired in each market.
All told, 48,722 presidential campaign ads have aired on Denver stations since April 11, second to Las Vegas' total of 51,588, and ahead of Cleveland's 48,722, Wesleyan reports.
In the Denver market in the Oct. 22-29 period, pro-Obama commercials outnumbered pro-Romney ads by 269.
The Wesleyan study again showed that the campaigns and their backers are concentrating their local-TV commercial airtime buys in a handful of key battleground areas -- like Colorado -- that polls show to be tossups, while bypassing large portions of the country seen as locked up by one side or the other, such as the West Coast, Texas and New York.
The Wesleyan Media Project is a program of Wesleyan University of Middletown, Conn. It is supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and relies on Kantar Media/CMAG data.

you shook my hand
and say your name.
It still lingers
in my mind, in my heart,
the way your eyes were so calm.
The way you smile.
I remember your hands firmly
shaking mine like a memory foam
was embedded in my hand
I love you at that time
our eyes locked.
You remember who I was and
you smile.
I hesitated, trying
not to keep my hopes up.
I remember
your smile,
before the moment got interrupted.
I love you in between
all that time.
All the time.
I love you just then
when you looked around the room.
When once again our
eyes locked, smiles exchanged.
The heart died a little when
I realise you don't remember.
The heart died a little
more when you were walking
I love you at that time
I love you in between
I love you still and
I hope for always.

Children who have a TV in their bedroom are more likely to be overweight.
This comes from a new study by researchers at Dartmouth looked at surveys filled out by more than 6,000 children ages 10 to 14. They found nearly 60% had a t-v in their bedroom, and of those kids, more experienced excess weight gain when compared to children without a TV in their room.
This obesity risk existed even when researchers took into account how much time kids spent watching TV, socioeconomic background and whether they played video games.
Outside experts say the message is simple: get the TV out of kids' rooms. This is an obesity risk factor that can be easily avoided.

What's App-ening – Game of Thrones: Ascent
Hey there, Evil Geek gang. It hasn't been that long since the last season of Game of Thrones ended and that means we're in for a long haul until the next season starts. Right about now, you're probably just hitting that first stage of withdrawal pretty hard; itching and scratching for just a little bit more time in the land of Westeros. You could of course re-watch the entire series so that you'll be primed and ready to hit the ground running once the new season starts. That path might be a little too passive for some though. Some people need to be the ones in control, the power behind the throne that is to say. If you're one of those shadowy, schemer types with an eye on the Iron Throne then Disruptor Beam has got a game that's right up your alley. Game of Thrones: Ascent makes you the lord of your very own fiefdom right smack in the middle of Westeros and lets you get a turn playing the ever vicious, never dull Game of Thrones!
Let Me Put My Suggestions In You: The Bartimaeus Sequence
There are so many amazing science fiction and fantasy novels out there that I want to recommend to my fabulous geeky followers, and so many more that I would want to read myself just in order to share it with you all. Books that bring you to tears, stories that stimulate your mind, novels that leave you questioning your believes and wanting more. But a more rare quality of a novel for me is one that has me laughing out loud. You know, LOL, or ROTFL for you younger folks. Some can induce a smirk or a good chuckle, but it is the rare piece of prose that has you bursting out in laughter until your sides hurt. Today I want to suggest to you a series of novels that did just that for me. The Bartimaeus Sequence is witty, action-packed, and above all a series that will have rolling on the floor with laughter at times. Continue forward for a relatively spoiler free description of this amazing series.
The Marvel Trade Paperback Dilemma
Not too long ago, I was reading a lot of Marvel titles. As far as I was concerned they were killing it when they launched Marvel Now. Currently, I'm only reading Bendis' two X-Men titles and the rest is exclusively put out by Image. One of the major things that bugs me about Marvel's business practices is their trade paperback releases.
I really dislike the small trades that have become the standard today. You know the ones that sometimes have 4 or 5 issues in them. I prefer long collected trades that cover an author's entire work on a series, but I realize this isn't always an option especially if the run is still ongoing. I buy those smaller trades from Image comics because I know there is a chance that that will be the only way those stories will be collected. With notable exception of monster hits like Saga which are bound for big lavish trades with lots of available material in it. Image at least puts their trades out in paperback first and charges $9.99 for the inaugural volume. Generally, Marvel will collect the most recent issues of a series and release a hardcover trade for $25 playing on the fact that some fans will of course buy anything and others only read in trades so they are eager to catch up on the story. 7 or 8 months later they will release the paperback version of the same trade for $20.
Ep 87 – Evil Geeks Disassembled: Return To Dimension X – Chris Claremont's X-Men Part 2
Welcome to the second part of Biff & Kang's long form discussion on Chris Claremont's historic run as writer for the X-Men. This episode focuses on the later portion of his tenure from the often misunderstood (but fascinating) Outback era and the Siege Perilous up to 1991's launch of X-Men Vol. 2 with artist Jim Lee. We also pick our X-Men dream teams from the Claremont era. So come take a trip down memory lane with us and possibly learn something while you're at it. Get comfortable and give a listen.

The Return of The Doctor: Arthur's Dream Match-Ups
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. After a long period of waiting and sitting in such rabid anticipation, the new season of Doctor Who is just a week away, and us Geeks are having a hard time not freezing ourselves in an avalanche to avoid having to wait. Unfortunately, most of us would die ( I, of course, am immortal so I don't have to worry about that) so we have graciously and humbly decided to just deal with the wait, and sit patiently until the hour finally arrives.
We have already been made privy to a slight taste of what is to come this season in terms of returning villains and characters, but we have also been made aware that this season is going to be darker than previous ones. The only thing I can say about that….is a resounding YESSSSSSS. We are going to get Daleks, we are going to get Cybermen, and we are going to get dinosaurs messing things up, and I can only hope that its just as good as Dinosaurs on a Spaceship. I personally have been trying to steer clear of teasers and info snippets because I don't want to get overexcited, but with the return of past villains, it sort of got my mind working.
We all know the TARDIS is capable of going through time and space, but sometimes, on rare occasions, it can cross over into other dimensions. This, I feel has been sorely underutilized, but I understand it is for good reason as that could easily bring the series into a different direction that would not be very much in line with the series' roots. However, it doesn't stop one from thinking what would and could happen if the Doctor crossed over into other dimensions and universes. After much thinking, I came up with 2 lists of 3 situations. Now before you start, let it be known that these are things that will never happen or appear on Doctor Who….mainly because the world is not yet awesome enough to have it happen. So with that out of the way, let us get on with it. Also, there may be some recurring things from a specific universe that I would love the Doctor to have a hand in, and that is the Dark Tower universe…..deal with it jerks.
COMPANIONS: The Doctor's companions are usually a huge part of the series. Along the way though, he does meet some people who are not actual companions, but more akin to one episode friends who either impact his life or impact ours in some way. If I had my way, the Doctor would most definitely cross paths with these people.

Kapalua Bay Beach
Kapalua Bay Beach Review
Over the years Kapalua has been recognized as one of the world's best beaches, and for good reason: it fronts a pristine bay good for snorkeling, swimming, and general lazing. Just north of Napili Bay, this lovely, sheltered shore often remains calm late into the afternoon, although currents may be strong offshore. Snorkeling is easy here, and there are lots of colorful reef fish. This popular area is bordered by the Kapalua Resort, so don't expect to have the beach to yourself. Walk through the tunnel from the parking lot at the end of Kapalua Place to get here. Amenities: parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; sunset; swimming.

Sink in deep with this 10-minute mix of mind-melting new music from the Brighton experimental artist.
Absorbing, 10-minute sonic portrait by Brighton producer with an knack for nailing nameless emotion.
Published: 08/02/13
There is no-one quite like Brighton's WANDA GROUP, which, if you follow his psyche-trawling ramblings on Twitter you will be well aware. But that's just background noise to his command of sound, his ability to namelessly name emotions you weren't even quite aware of. It's something I've gone on about before. And now there's more reason in the form of this 10-minute sonic portrait of his friend Hav Lyfe, whose self-titled debut album Sonic Router put out earlier this week. Sonic Router are giving away WANDA GROUP's Moon Has Got Her Umbro On (How We Visualise Hav) to wise persons who purchase Hav Lyfe's album here but you can dip your ears in here now.

We have gone through so much nonsense bullshit with our surroundings but for some reason we have remained strong when anybody else with a brain would have easily walked away but no not us, I don't know were our path is leading, but I know you will forever be in my life and I like it that way.

Biological Innovation and Productivity Growth in the Antebellum Cotton Economy
AbstractThe Cliometrics literature on slave efficiency has generally focused on static questions. We take a decidedly more dynamic approach. Drawing on the records of 142 plantations with 509 crops years, we show that the average daily cotton picking rate increased about four-fold between 1801 and 1862. We argue that the development and diffusion of new cotton varieties were the primary sources of the increased efficiency. These finding have broad implications for understanding the South's preeminence in the world cotton market, the pace of westward expansion, and the importance of indigenous technological innovation.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
I may have the name wrong, but this is the right-side route on the Shangri-La Slab. Start behind a tree, making some .9+ moves up to a rightward traverse under a "wave" of rock. Plug a cam or two in the crack, haul up and over to the crux headwall. There is a move that felt .10c to me, but really only the one. Very nice climb overall.
At least 9 draws for the bolts, and a few medium cams. You can escape right to the gully if you have a couple bigger pieces.

Mac users give Snow Leopard upgrade mixed reviews
by on printer friendly
Upgrading operating systems can be a frustrating experience.
When a new version comes out, which is every year it seems, users feel obligated to upgrade, adding more bells and whistles upon layers of other features until, as David Pogue of The New York Times puts it, "You wind up with a huge, sloshing, incoherent mess of a program, a pile of spaghetti code that doesn't run well and makes nobody happy."
If that sounds familiar and you're a Mac user, Pogue and other reviewers are recommending Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, released Aug. 28. It's an operating system upgrade that's marketed as leaner, faster, and easier to use than its predecessors. No new features are added, and it's only $30 if you already have Leopard; $170 if you don't.
Pogue says it installs in 15 minutes, then starts up faster, opens programs faster and takes up only half the space on your hard drive of what came before. Snow Leopard frees up 7GB, Apple says.
Snow Leopard works only on Macs running Intel processors. It offers 64-bit versions of Finder, Mail, iCal, iChat, and Safari Web browser with major security capabilities. Grand Central Dispatch is a new multithreading technology that provides "maximum horsepower" for graphics processing and games. Grand Central Dispatch makes it easier for developers to write programs that take advantage of chips with more than one processor.
Information Week reports online sales are quite strong, topping the chart in Amazon.com's software category after a week on the market.
Jake Widman of bMighty.com upgraded smoothly. He said Safari "blazes," but the speed increase is difficult to detect elsewhere. He experienced some glitches, but added, "don't upgrade a mission-critical machine until you've tested Snow Leopard elsewhere if possible, and have a bailout strategy if you need one. But judging from my experience, on the whole the upgrade seems like a no-brainer."
Jim Rossman of the Dallas Morning News says "Yes" to the upgrade. He likes that Safari launches and loads the home page in 2 seconds. He likes the version of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard that brings "true compatibility" with Microsoft Exchange, including calendar scheduling, meeting invitations and the global address book. He also praised the new QuickTime X, with its video recording and editing features and its clean design.
One reviewer was somewhat underwhelmed by the speed. Rob Pegoraro, personal technology columnist for the Washington Post says the faster performance "remained somewhat elusive" after Snow Leopard was installed on three Macs. He also noted that this upgrade won't accept all of your existing software and hardware. Wikidot, a Web site that tracks software performance, says Snow Leopard is not fully compatible with more than 100 existing Mac applications, games, and software utilities. Pegoraro said Snow Leopard's predecessor, Leopard, "still functions quite well in its own right," and suggested skipping Snow Leopard for now.
Chris Gaylord of the Christian Science Monitor says to check for system updates regularly if you've already upgraded; if not, wait until the bugs are worked out.

Image behind text - or position-designing - mini basket contents
I am designing a mini basket which will appear at the top of the page. It will display the quantity of goods in the basket and total price and a 'click here to check out' button. So it is just a summary of the basket.
I want to design an image which will feature behind this mini-basket. For an example see Play.com (UK): DVDs, Music CDs, MP3s, Video Games, Books, Electronics & Gadgets - Free Delivery. Add anything to the basket to see the mini-basket at the top right of the screen in action. This may not be a background image - if you can suggest how I can achieve this mini-basket I would be very grateful.
Quantity =1
Total = £149.95
Click here to checkout
The only way I know how to get an image behind some text is like this:
.basket-details {
background: url(../himage.png) no-repeat;
clear: both;
color: #FFFFFF;
letter-spacing: -0.02em;
line-height: 1.7;
margin: 5px 5px 5px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 0px;
But it does not seem accurate enough! I am aware that I could use CSS positioning but I have been advised against using positioning in the past so I am unsure how to achieve the right results!
Can anyone help,

The order prevents authorities in Louisiana from enforcing the law while clinics and providers continue to try and secure hospital admitting privileges.
Though a spokesperson for Complete Healthcare for Women declined to comment, the local paper, the Columbus Dispatch, as well as NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio and an anti-abortion group have reported that the clinic has stopped providing surgical abortions.
In a matter of days, five of Texas' eight legal abortion providers will operate under the Planned Parenthood banner, a special irony in light of state lawmakers' professed hatred for the provider.
The Obama administration announced another change to the religious accommodation to the birth control benefit, and predictably conservatives hate it.
Until the Irish government repeals the Eighth Amendment and replaces the new unworkable law with policies that facilitate rather than obstruct access to abortion, women will continue to be seen simply as means to an end.
Advocates asked a federal court to block the measure before it takes effect next month.
The clinic decided not to appeal a Hamilton County judge's ruling that the Ohio Department of Health was within its rights when it revoked the clinic's license earlier this year.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland announced that it will ask the Iowa Supreme Court to review a decision by a lower court allowing the Iowa Board of Health to ban the use of telemedicine for abortion services.
Peru has finally issued national guidelines recognizing that women in the country have the right to therapeutic abortion, and outlining the Peruvian government's responsibility to secure this access. It is heartening to see such tireless work pay off, but the work isn't over.
The tragic shooting death of an unarmed Missouri teenager by a police officer is a wake-up call for advocates that police brutality is a reproductive justice issue.

Those who plan to play Battlefield 4 on the Xbox One with the Kinect will have some extra mobility, thanks to the new head tracking feature and voice commands.
Polygon reports that BF4 will utilize the Kinect to track head movements during gameplay, allowing players to lean and peek around corners. In the past, players would need to strafe around corners and be fully exposed to enemy fire in order to shoot around cover. With the Kinect leaning system, users will only need to expose part of their body in order to fire some shots from cover.
Kinect will also provide the ability to give orders using voice commands in the game, like being able to request a medic or ammunition. Voice commands have been a part of the Battlefield series before, so it's nice to know that players can still do this.
Players can get their hands on Battlefield 4 for the Xbox One at launch on November 22. You can check out a review of Battlefield 4 posted above.

Rainy afternoons and beading with kids
The team has done two full days in the village. Dr. Liam and his son are working hard seeing patients all day long. He is even using acupuncture with some people. They are a little hesitant at first, but afterwards are impressed by the results.
The construction crew continues work on the house in Desierto. They are now transporting cement blocks to the house. It is a loooooong path from where the materials get dropped off to the construction site - they counted 300 steps!!
The afternoons are somewhat rainy so we have been doing crafts with the kids (see pictures below). Eliara is working hard putting sealants on the teeth of children and getting sponsored kids in to see the dentist. Rachel is leaving today after a month of interning. We will miss her friendly attitude and enthusiasm. She has helped out a lot with the after school program and english classes. She was also doing fecal samples and looking for parasites.
Gene and his daughter Rebecca are having a good time catching up with old friends (well Rebecca is meeting them) as well as interviewing staff to see how the PID programs are running.

Emotional Liverpool on top as Chelsea stay in title hunt
Liverpool's Slovakian defender Martin Skrtel (L) celebrates with Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez at the final whistle at Anfield in Liverpool on April 13, 2014 - by Andrew Yates
Victory, combined with second-placed Chelsea's 1-0 win away to 10-man Swansea, left Liverpool two points clear at the top with four games to play and seven in front of City.
Significantly it meant the destiny of the title, which Liverpool last won in 1990, was now in the Reds' own hands.
Third-placed City have two games in hand on both Liverpool and Chelsea, who travel to Anfield in a fortnight for what could be a title-decider.
Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho sealed a 10th win in a row for the Merseysiders 12 minutes from time after City had come from 2-0 down to draw level at 2-2.
First-half goals from Raheem Sterling and Martin Skrtel put Liverpool in control only for City to hit back after the break through David Silva and a Glen Johnson own-goal.
But Coutinho made it 3-2 in the 78th minute after seizing on a sliced clearance from City captain Vincent Kompany to beat England goalkeeper Joe Hart with a low shot from the edge of the box.
Liverpool had to play the closing minutes of stoppage-time a man down after Jordan Henderson was sent off for a wild challenge on City's Samir Nasri.
- 'Remarkable performance' -
Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, praised his side's resolve.
"It was a remarkable performance," he said. "We showed so much spirit and quality."
The 41-year-old Northern Irishman added his players could cope with the rising tide of optimism at Anfield.
"We have been put under pressure in a very big game but you can see from the quality of our football that we are coping with it."
City manager Manuel Pellegrini insisted his side whadn't given up on the title despite this defeat.
"If we win our two games in hand we will be a point behind Liverpool, who still have to play Chelsea. The title does not finish today. We are still going to fight."
Before kick-off, there was a minute's silence in memory of the 96 Liverpool supporters killed in a crush during a FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989.
In another tribute to the victims of the tragedy, matches across England were moved back by seven minutes this weekend, reflecting the moment the fateful match at Hillsborough was called off.
At the Liberty Stadium, Swansea were a man down as early as the 16th minute after Chico Flores collected a second yellow card for bringing down Andre Schurrle.
But it wasn't until the 68th minute that Jose Mourinho's side made their advantage count, with Demba Ba's shot somehow evading Swansea keeper Michel Vorm.
It was Ba's second crucial goal of the week after he had scored in the Champions League quarter-final win over Paris Saint Germain.
"I've been here three times with Chelsea without winning before today," Blues assistant manager Steve Holland, sent out by Mourinho to conduct post-match interviews, told the BBC.
"We played in the Champions League in the week, and it was a physically and emotionally draining game."
Swansea boss Garry Monk, whose side are now just three points above the relegation zone, added: "I can't complain about the performance, after going down to 10 so early against a good Chelsea side.
"It's very tough for us. We're not safe. But if we show that application in our final four games we'll be fine."
Saturday's matches saw Everton leapfrog victorious FA Cup semi-finalists Arsenal into fourth place and the final Champions League spot on offer to English clubs with a 1-0 win away to bottom of the table secured by Wes Brown's own-goal.
Meanwhile things tightened up at the foot of the table as relegation-threatened Fulham and second-bottom Cardiff enjoyed 1-0 wins over Norwich and Southampton respectively to close the gap on the teams immediately above them.

A retired cop's endless pain
Still no word from Government almost one year after ex-crime fighter highlights his plight
A retired policeman continues to endure pain and suffering, close to one year after his plight was highlighted by the Jamaica Observer.
Former corporal of police Astley Smith, who was knocked down by a police patrol car as he rode his motorbike on duty in the eastern parish of St Thomas in 1979, and subsequently paid $315 monthly in compensation, is continuing his journey of pain and suffering, and has been literally left on his own by the constabulary.
Smith, now 63, was hit off the bike when the patrol car driver decided to overtake a queue of vehicles along the Pondside main road near Yallahs in the western section of the parish.
He suffered multiple injuries to the foot, all bones were broken on his right wrist, and he lost total use of his right hand.
A damaged right eye, from which he has since lost vision, injury to his nerves, his left hand and shoulder, among other sections of his body, were also part of the pain package.
All told, Smith spent six months at the University Hospital of the West Indies where he underwent a total of nine surgeries during the early period of his suffering.
But since the Sunday Observer told the story, the Jamaica Constabulary Force has made no headway in correcting what legal analysts believe was a crucial wrong committed.
"I don't hear anything up to now," Smith told the Sunday Observer in an interview last week.
"I was told that my file is being dealt with," Smith said.
"But whilst the grass is growing, the horse is starving," Smith added.
Retired Commissioner of Police Lucius Thomas, who is handling welfare matters for police personnel at the Ministry of National Security, could not be reached for an update, as numerous calls from the Sunday Observer to his cellular phone during last week went unanswered.
Thomas had personally said last year that he would spearhead efforts to explore the possibility of arranging a better financial deal for Smith.
"We are trying to help him. Some representation has been made and we are in touch with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to see what can be done for him," Thomas said last April.
But things are getting rougher, economically, for the former uniformed government worker who vowed to protect and serve.
"I was visited by personnel from the Anti-corruption Branch of the police force, to see if I need anything, but that was from May of last year. Since then I have heard nothing," he revealed.
In the interview last April, Smith told a story of severe pain, with little relief in sight.
"It has been severe pain and suffering without any relief up to now. Nothing helps me ... no painkiller ... nothing. The pain includes burning, a shooting pain and a crushing pain. If it rains, there is a shooting pain, if it gets warm there is a crushing pain. For the past 34 years, I have not had a moment of relaxation. If someone comes up behind me and frightens me, I feel pain. If I start reading I feel pain," Smith said last year.
He has since made several visits to The Pain Centre in St Andrew, in a last-ditch effort to have the pain kept in check, but mounting expenses have pushed him further against the wall.
"I have spent over $70,000 at The Pain Centre to continue the treatment, but I have now run out of funds.
"One doctor recommended that I amputate my right hand, but I don't know as yet," he said.
Smith had sued the Government of Jamaica a little over a year after the accident, only to be informed that he had missed the deadline to file the lawsuit by mere weeks, based upon the law at the time which allowed for suits to be filed up to one year after an incident.
"There was little that I could do to file the lawsuit earlier as I was hospitalised and an outpatient, and could not walk for over a year after the accident," he said.
With a lawsuit no longer a possibility, Smith opted to remain in the force, which he served for a further 26 years.
Having applied for and granted early retirement, Smith applied to the Government for compensation for loss of use of the right hand, pain and suffering, and after going through a trip of paperwork and red tape, he ended with the princely sum of $3,786.67 annually or $315 monthly in compensation, which the State said was based upon his salary at the time of the accident, which was approximately $5,000 per annum.
Appeals to the public defender's office, former Prime Minister Bruce Golding and then Opposition Leader Portia Simpson Miller did not meet with success.
The former allround cricketer for the St Thomas police team is now involved in a monumental fight to stay afloat.
"I have no savings and the little that I get for my pension cannot do. I have no one to take care of me, because my family does not stick around because of my disability. I really need help. I would like to be granted some form of gratuity," Smith told the Sunday Observer.

Gilbert Search Engine Optimization
Gilbert search engine optimization (SEO) can help businesses hoping to reach thousands of potential clients in their regional market. Cybermark International will submit your website to the local listings of the major search engines and send your search engine skyrocketing upward as a result. We do so by personalizing a search engine marketing plan for search engine submission geared toward Gilbert and other surrounding cities in the East Valley.
The Importance of Market Saturation
Once upon a time the Yellow pages now gathering dust in your cupboard was your primary means of finding good and services. Today the Internet has left those same pages in the dust. Now in a matter of seconds we can have thousands of businesses at our fingertips, quite literally.
The ability to find so many options so quickly is good for consumers but daunting for businesses vying for your attention. If you're one of those businesses the way to get noticed is through regional search engine optimization, the most effective way to saturate the local market with your company's message.
Gilbert SEO and an Improved Website Ranking
Gilbert has been one of the fastest growing Arizona towns for the better part of the past two decades. With well over 200,000 residents, more on the way, and scores of visitors each year, you as a business owner have a huge incentive to make certain that your business is noticed through a local search engine optimization program.
Even so, few businesses do what it truly takes to get noticed amongst the thousands of businesses competing for attention online. For example, Gilbert isn't the largest town in the world, but here on July 8, 2099 when we search the keyword term, Gilbert, AZ we are provided 1,330,000 listings. Even when we narrow our search down to something like Gilbert, AZ lawn care some 6,360 listings appear. Imagine trying to solicit clients for your lawn care business online given those odds.
The bottom line is that if you want to rank high in a local search you need Gilbert search engine optimization more than ever. A proper SEO strategy created with the kind of criteria a search engine uses to determine high rankings for listings like yours can be the difference between success and the alternative.
Perhaps your product or service has national or even worldwide appeal. Rest assured that regional SEO in no way limits your global search engine submission and marketing strategy. As a small business, regional search engine optimization leads to extra exposure that is critical in standing out to residents and tourists alike. Why fade into the background when you can rise to the top through search engine placement?
