I'm in a A.L. roto league with a 23-man active roster and 17-man reserve. We're allowed up to 15 keepers and heading into the auction I kept Brian Matusz, Desmond Jennings and Jesus Montero and traded Tyler Flowers, Austin Jackson and Josh Reddick for a reasonably-priced Alex Rodriquez (reasonablle by Arod standards).
Because our reserve picks get pegged with salaries that start at $15 and gradually drop to $2, I targeted a pitching prospect for the auction itself, picking Derek Holland, who had been among my last cuts during the off-season. His peripheral numbers were quite good last year, especially considering he had pitch only a few dozen innings above A-ball, and I'm glad the Rangers sent him to AAA where he can work on his command and pitch selection without the pressures of Arlington. I expect him up mid-year and think he will do well.
After our auction we had a 17-man snake draft in which anyone not in the NL is eligible, so people take major leaguers too. That said, I went almost exclusively with minor leaguers, in part because some of the key big leaguers I wanted were snapped up just before my picks.
Here's whom I took:
1. Justin Smoak (my last cut the off-season and I held my breath as I had the third pick in the first round -- two owners before me went for major leaguers).
5. Danny Valencia
6, 7, 8 -- keeper spots for Matusz, Jennings and Montero
9. Martin Perez
10. Jemile Weeks
11. Anthony Slama (insurance - I picked up Jon Rauch in the auction)
12. Mike Montgomery
13. Eric Hosmer
14. Kam Mickolio
15. Jake McGee
16. Tanner Scheppers
17. Lou Montanez (who is the first to get a starting gig with Felix Pie hurt and Reinold still a bit hobbled)
For context, because of our keeper and salary rules, it's rare to hold on to a prospect for more than two years, so I draft mainly with that in mind - I want guys who have some chance of making the Bigs this year (preferably) or next. That's one reason I took Chisenhall and Valencia, for example. And since we have 12 owners, I had the 3rd, 22, 27, 46th etc. picks, so the talent pool shrinks by 18 going from an odd-numbr pick to an even number pick.
So who did you pick? Anyone in particular that pained you to see picked up from someone else?

I don't know how to start this write up other than by saying SJ is an overrated player. I am not out to purposely hate on Bills players, but, the subject of SJ has been bothering me for quite sometime. After reading this site all off season as well as listening to the talking heads now. I had a few minutes to dive into SJ's stats from last year. I had came to the conclusion that his 1000 yrd mile mark, sacred cow 2 yrs in a row, is an extremely misleading statistic in the affect that he truly has in a game.
I am referring to statistic categories primarily of 20+ yards, YAC, 1DN, and we can do a few others. I want to just show where he ranks league wide. I remember not caring if we resigned him or not, but, I do remember thinking that he was really all we had for a #1 guy.
These are his rankings per ESPN in the wide receiver category.
1st Downs: tied for 25th with 45 (6 TE coming before him, highest was 77)
YAC: 42nd with 325 (highest was 732)
YRDS/GM: 31st with 62.8 (highest was 105.1).
20+: tied for 35th with 13 (highest was 32, almost double). Although not known for his breakout speed he is a #1 WR and should have, IMHO, the big play threat. This can be compared with his YAC, which he also did poorly as he ranked 42 when there are 32 teams.
Long: tied for 66th with 55 yrds as his longest (highest being 99). I don't think this stat is entirely important, but, does also show the "big play" ability.
TD: tied for 25th with 7 (highest was 17). He is 5 TDs away from being in the top 5.
AVG: 116th with 13.2. This is a strange stat because the top guy only has two targets, but, I'll do that category next.
Targets: 9th with 135. (highest was181). As you can see, it is surprising how poorly ranked he is in other categories while being one of the most highly targeted receivers in the league.
REC: tied 18th with 76 (highest was 122).
I am not particularly a stat guy as I go on the feeling that I get from a player when I watch the game. You can come to your own conclusions about these stats, but, I just thought I would share them all with you if you have not seen them. I guess this write up is fairly bias because I was at the Steelers game when he dropped that TD pass and I guess I have not been able to fully trust him yet. I want to like him and trust that he will come through in the clutch, but, I just can't. I don't know if anyone is feeling the same way. I just don't think that we should settle for players. He deserves to be on the team just maybe not our #1.

With the news that the Tennessee Volunteers lost excellent defensive coordinator and recruiter Justin Wilcox and linebacker coach Peter Sirmon to the Washington Huskies, Vols fans are justifiably worried about the current recruiting class. As SB Nation's excellent Tennessee blog Rocky Top Talk put it:
"Tennessee has lost its defensive coordinator and its best recruiter. The class is comprised mostly of defensive players. You can put two and two together." Ouch.
The fears were realized Tuesday morning, as star receiver Keithon Redding decommitted from the Volunteers. The Georgia receiver will consider taking visits to Ole Miss and perhaps Kentucky.
Tennessee is also in serious danger of losing its only defensive tackle recruit in Danny O'Brien.
Linebacker Dalton Santos (pictured left) will be one to watch. Recruited by both Wilcox and Sirmon, Santos has wowed scouts at this week's Under Armour All-America practices. Many Tennessee insiders do not believe he will stick with his commitment.
What does this move say about Dooley and Tennessee?
Regardless of the truth of whether Wilcox wanted to go back to the West coast, this looks bad for the Volunteers. Most of the recruits in the Southeast do not respect a program like Washington, and many might think (rightfully of wrongfully) that Dooley's isn't long for Tennessee. Such is the world of negative recruiting.

It has been a long few weeks, the news and unfolding events are of no comfort, and "good spirited tailgating times" are a distant memory in our minds. That being said, I've decided to tread on and continue to post some BSD food posts.
Why? Because, when the times get tough and hard and ugly, us foodies continue to cook. In fact, Italian foodies tend to cook even more than before. WE ARE... the people who hold the key to sanity in a cruel and confusing world! On that note, I present to you:
FRICO!!! Which I hope you will all find to be a FREEKIN' respite and stress reliever!!! After all, we all need to eat...
Frico are Italian Parmesan Cheese Crisps and are REALLY FREEKIN' easy to make (I made all of these in about 30 minutes):
Hot out of the oven these cheese crisps are extremely pliable and can be placed/tamped/molded into a mini-muffin pan to form little baskets... which are great for holding "Snacks on Snacks". After they have cooled, fill 'em with whatever makes you and yours happy. Pictured here is Joe's favorite. Frico filled with hot-pepper crusted salami, fresh mozzarella, garlic-y olives and strips of roasted red pepper:

Living Latin in Rome
June 7 - July 13, 2014
Course Description
Living Latin in Rome is an intensive Latin experience set in the city of Rome. Participants read selections of the most important texts from across the history of the Latin language, including the late antique, Patristic, medieval, Renaissance and modern periods. Each text selected is linked to an important physical monument or place in the city of Rome, which the program visits on scheduled weekly site visits. The program's goal is to provide an intensive and continuous period of study of Latin while helping participants form strong emotional connections with Latin literature and culture.
Living Latin in Rome lasts for five weeks in June and early July. It has five different kinds of classes: classroom sessions in air-conditioned, wifi-enabled classrooms, informal conversational Latin sub arboribus, interactive visits to important historical and literary sites in Rome, lectures in English on different aspects of Latin and its literature, and weekend trips to important sites outside of Rome.
Participants must be at least 18 years old and know the basics of Latin grammar. This usually means at least one year of Latin at the university level or its equivalent. All participants must be over 18 by the start of the program.
Classroom and Housing
Classes for Living Latin in Rome take place in modern, air-conditioned classrooms in the Prati neighborhood of Rome.
Housing is available through the Institute in double rooms in shared apartments of four to six students. Institute apartments are in easily commutable distance from class and have a shared kitchen and bath. All apartments have wireless internet. Students are free to seek their own housing in Rome, but due to the difficulty and expense of finding suitable short-term housing in the summer, applicants are encouraged to seek housing through the Institute.

"Many components of LLiR, such as the combination of site visits and language learning, are quite obviously amazing: who wouldn't want to read Pliny on top of Vesuvius or Vergil at Cumae, recite Cicero on the Forum and meander through Pompeii speaking only Latin? Similarly, constant sight reading, reading in metre, and most importantly speaking Latin do result in a completely new understanding and appreciation of the language and tangible improvement. But for me the greatest part, or perhaps side-effect, happened so effortlessly I only realized it a few weeks in: Latin stops feeling like work, however enjoyable, and instead casually becomes a most natural way to spend your time, and the only way you'd want to spend it - a feeling that outlasts the program itself."
-Lea Schroeder '13, Dartmouth College-
"In Living Latin in Rome I encountered the Latin language in ways I did not think possible. The program's approach tore down the standard approach to Latin: that it is a puzzle, some esoteric string of clues, the pieces of which need to be forced together in order to be solved. Rather, The Paideia Institute helped me see Latin for what it is: a language that was spoken and used by people. This approach to teaching really helped to quell my fear of Latin and facilitated my understanding of the language. LLiR improved my understanding so much so that I am now finding my Latin 3 class to be a breeze; LLiR instilled in me such a deep understanding of the syntax, morphology, and the different styles of Latin that I am now able to consider reading Caesar in class as thoroughly enjoyable, rather than an exercise in futility. But, the best part of the program was that the city was our classroom. Traversing the caput mundi with 35 like-minded peers, I experienced sights such as the Coliseum, the Villa Borghese, and the Vatican in a meaningful and revealing way. The staff were so knowledgable about every site that I now feel I truly know the city of Rome. Whether I was learning about Latin with the group, or was learning about life from a different perspective as I explored a new country alone or with friends, I felt truly enamored by my surroundings, truly privileged to be a part of such a wonderful program."
-Edward Schade '13, University of Illinois-
"The most personally discernible and rewarding thing that I have taken away from the program has been a deeper understanding and appreciation of the liberal arts and what they stand for. I believe that in becoming more technically oriented, the higher education system of the West has, for the most part, lost touch with the true purpose upon which it was founded in Athens nearly 2400 years ago, namely to cultivate virtue in youths and consequently lay the foundation for a virtuous society. The Paideia Institute is at the front lines of bringing true liberality - the pursuit of human flourishing - back into higher education, placing the pursuit of knowledge in its full historic context."
-Miklos Szebeni '13, Princeton University-
"Living Latin in Rome gave me everything that a college classroom education couldn't. We tied the literature we read to the archaeological ruins by visiting actual sites such as the Forum, the Via Appia, and Mt. Vesuvius, and enjoyed the Latin language just as the Romans did: not as a code to be cracked, but as an actual means of expression. Strolling the streets of Pompeii, speaking only in Latin, was the closest I've ever felt to antiquity. The program was relaxed, yet I was intellectually challenged: reading Latin out loud and then being asked to paraphrase what I'd just read--in Latin--truly took my reading comprehension to the next level, and my grammar became sharper. LLIR also emphasized facets of Latin that are sometimes neglected in college literature classes: sight-reading, reading in meter, and medieval and Renaissance Latin (though I will always remember reciting Cicero in the Forum and Horace at the Fons Bandusiae!). It was a Classics major's heaven: surrounded by fellow Latin enthusiasts, communicating in an ancient language in the place where every Latin student can feel at home: Rome."
Kelly Lougheed '12, Brown University-
"My first trip to Rome -- I wouldn't have had it otherwise! It was an initiation into the practice of the "living" Latin tradition and a new, challenging and very personal experience of Latin the language, Latin the phenomenon. The instructors, although very different from one another, complemented each other exceedingly well. I'm glad I was exposed to a variety of different styles and approaches. There's nothing quite like learning Latin in Rome and literally being embedded in the physicality of a world otherwise accessible only through disembodied texts. It's just an entirely different thing. I've not looked at Latin the same way since."
-Alice Yeh '12, University of California, Berkeley-
"Living Latin in Rome was something I will never forget, always cherish, and cannot quite express in words-- although I'll try. Not only did it drastically improve my Latin to the point that I walked into my 3000 level Latin class this fall (my standard level of the past year) and I immediately felt that it was too elementary, but it was so much more than that pedagogically. Sure, I've known how to scan dactylic hexameter for years but now I can read it fluidly at sight; now I can use conversational idioms correctly; now I can rap Horace's Ode 1.9 in meter. But what I learned doesn't compare to how I learned it. Eric and Jason created a chill atmosphere but never ceased to make us think. They gave us exclusive tours of places that very few get to experience, such as the Vatican necropolis and the auditorium of Maecenas, all the while Eric supplied his never ending deluge of historical and religious knowledge, and Jason explained the linguistic or metrical nuances of the Latin. I read so much Latin that is often ignored in academia, ranging from biblical texts and medieval philosophy to operas and German drinking songs; while walking down the hill to the beautiful Lake Bracciano we sang, Navis Lutea, or as some may know it, Yellow Submarine. It was the perfect balance of work and play, or maybe it was all work that seemed like play. Either way, it was an incredible summer and taught me more than I could have ever hoped to learn."
-Lillian De Lisle '11, University of Virginia-
"This summer was one of the most incredible of my life - one steeped in language, history, and, yes, even modern culture. Speaking the language I've spent six years reading and writing was like learning it all over again. My understandings of Latin and what it means to study a language have been completely refreshed through small class translation work and adventures throughout Italy. I've utilized my Latin skills in ways that I could not have imagined. Debate at the Colosseum? Check. Latin tour of Vatican City and excavations? Check. Daily conversation in my Roman apartment? Check. This program is one-of-a-kind and is true to its name: Living Latin in Rome. Veni, vidi, vixi linguam latinam. I came (to Rome), I saw (the sights), I lived the Latin language."
-Anna Dardick '11, Oberlin College-
"Living Latin in Rome changed the way I think about Latin as a language. By connecting literature to actual historical sites, the culture came alive in a way I had never thought possible. Through my experience with the program in Rome, I realized that there is more to Latin than analyzing it like a micro-organism under a microscope – there's an entirely different component: considering the language as a means of communication, and becoming familiar with the flow between words and ideas in Latin; that is to say, thinking about Latin as a language instead of a puzzle."
-Alexander Craig '11, Princeton University-

News: Fat Joe Can't Co-Sign Kanye West's Jordan Jab: "That's Where The Buck Stops" [Video]
Saturday, Aug 3, 2013 11:37AM
Terror Squad leader Fat Joe has weighed-in on Kanye West raising eyebrows with his "New God Flow" Michael Jordan sneaker reference and said the rap star's popular Nike Yeezy kicks still have to play catch-up.
The diehard sneaker collector co-signed the hotness of Ye's punchline but said the Jordan brand has too many years behind it.
"All right, that's where the buck stops," Joe said with a smile. "That was an ill line. Super line. But nobody will ever try to take a shot at Jordan or whatever. Jordan sneakers been around for so long. I think Jordan's making more money now than when he was playing ball. Very hard. He got about 20, 30 years before he really try to mean that comment. It's a hot line. I came out, first time in my life and said, 'I don't like ball, so to hell with the Rucker,' it was a hot line, it was a punchline 'cause the Rucker was hot so I just said it and everybody was like, 'Ohhh.' Truth is, I love the Rucker, it is what it is." (Sneaker Watch)
Since "New God Flow" dropped last year, Ye's line has caught various bloggers' attention.
Kanye recently released the Air Yeezy 2 shoes through Nike, and their sale caused a shoe-store frenzy surpassing (at least by Kanye's reckoning) that of the famous Air Jordan shoes. Because of the success of both the Yeezy 2 and it's predecessor, Kanye feels his shoes have "jumped over" Jordans in terms of popularity. (Rap Genius)
Kanye recently launched a contest for his special edition Air Yeezy 2 kicks.
Kanye West is giving sneakerheads a first chance opportunity to own his coveted Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneaker. Set to release later this year in a new red colorway aka the "Red Octobers," Mr. West announces a three week giveaway of 50 total pairs beginning this Monday, June 24. There is three simple ways to enter: Purchase a CD copy of Kanye's Yeezus album in-stores, online via iTunes, or for those without the album email [email protected] for a designated code starting June 24. Fans can begin entering during the "Giveaway Entry Period" spanning three dedicated weeks of June 24-June 30, July 1-July 7, and July 8-July 14. The contest is open to legal residents 18-years of age or older within the 50 United States (including the District of Columbia) and Canada (excluding the province of Quebec). A winners list will be available online from July 30-August 31 at giveaway.kanyewest.com. (Miss Info TV)
Outside of dropping bars, Joey Crack is largely known for his sneaker obsession.
When it comes to the sneaker-game, Fat Joe is a heavyweight. The dude has an extensive collection of one-offs, rare Air Force 1s, Jordans, and other grails we'll never get our hands on. Before there was a Croc Air Force 1, there was a one off Fat Joe Croc Air Force 1, that's just how it is. (Complex)

Cox and Mills set to join Warriors
5:37pm Monday 27th January 2014 in Sport By Tom Guest, @tomguestWN #WENsport
WORCESTER Warriors are poised to make a double raid on local rivals Gloucester to snap up back-rower Matt Cox and centre Ryan Mills.
Rumours have been circulating widely that Cox was set to return to his former club and the player was spotted in the Sixways pitch-view restaurant after the Aviva Premiership game with Bath on November 1.
The Cherry and Whites have offered 25-year-old Cox a new contract, but he is thought to have snubbed the deal in favour of returning to the club he left in 2010.
After graduating to the Warriors first XV from the then-bountiful academy system, Cox grew frustrated at his progress often being blocked by the likes of club captain - and regular training ground sparring partner - Pat Sanderson.
However, despite enjoying plenty of game-time at Kingsholm this term, thanks in part to injuries to his back-row rivals, Cox is now heading back up the M5.
The arrival last summer at Gloucester of Warriors' back row star Matt Kvesic will have put more pressure on Cox's place in the side.
Despite that, the decision to leave won't have been an easy one as Cox is currently working under the guidance of former Warriors' academy manager Andrew Stanley, Gloucester's forwards coach, who mentored the young back-rower during their time together at Sixways.
Former England under 20s back Mills came through the youth system at Kingsholm, but the 21-year-old's progress has been hampered by a persistent knee injury.
However, he is highly-rated at the club and player-coach Mike Tindall said: "Millsy is a genuine ball-playing 12 and I think he'll compete with Billy Twelvetrees when he gets more game time."

Dear Santa
Never in my life did I think that a child would be so overly excited about a jumbo pen. But I guess that is why they have fourteen varieties of them for sale at the Dollar store. They are banking on the 'jumbo pen' making every kid's Christmas wish list. and every adults. and every infants. and every NFL players, and zombies. and leprechauns.
oh p.s. did I mention I'm in a weird mood? yeah. happening.
So we wrote a letter to Santa. It was part of the 12 Days of Christmas jar party. The treat was a gigantic writing utensil. The activity was writing a letter celebrating greed…I mean asking nicely for a reward for good behavior. He told me what to write in the blanks. It reads…
Dear Santa, I have been a bad boy. I like to go to creek, see trains, see stars, Mickey Mouse, make circle. This year I would like choo choo train ride, to put a hat on, a red, green & blue. Thank you very much. Love Will Jackson Bower.
I'm fairly certain that 'bad boy' comes from a movie because we never have said anyone is a bad boy…not unless Will is listening at the door when Jeremy is flirting. Rawr. And 'put a hat on' means that he wants to ride something that would require a helmet…such a little adreneline junkie. I have no idea what a red, green and blue means. And he does refer to himself as 'Will Jackson Bower'. It's very formal. If he ever meets the president, he's ready.
So Santa this year was located inside a Barnes & Noble because it was raining. The carriage sleigh ride was canceled. I shed a tear.
As we were leaving the house, I went through my routine of walking around grabbing important stuff like fruit snacks and burp cloths and muttering 'we need this' over and over. Will ran into the kitchen and grabbed his paper, crumpled it into a ball and yelled 'we need this' at the top of his lungs while stuffing it down his shirt. After arriving at the bookstore, he ran with balled-up letter in hand past all the pillars of hardbacks and past the line of people waiting to order coffee and right up to the big man himself. Normally this child is relatively shy with strangers…but this time, he wore confidence like an oversized parka. He walked right up, said "Hi Santa" and handed him the letter, turned and plopped down in the seat next to me. All business.
After it was all said and done, the train table was the real star of the show.
Oh and yes, we do happen to have one of the best Santas I've ever seen…he's very authentic looking. The photographer in me is very happy about that. I'm also happy that I have the first three visits of Will and Santa together. I didn't get a solo shot of Weston with Santa (unhappy face) because he was needing a boob break. Next year I suppose.
So anyone else out there in a funky mood? I blame the christmas treats. and the hormones. and the fact that I have a two year old who is addicted to helmet activities. nuff said.
More christmas to come. It's the holiday that just won't stop

He's probably trying to build his street cred with Santa..you have to picture him giving the big man some little gang signs–"that Will Jackson…he's bad…."
I want a big pen too.
December 27, 2012
Loving that letter!! I think the fill in the blanks makes it even more fun!
Lesley permalinkDecember 27, 2012
bwah haha. I LOL'd at "we need this" I can just picture Will doing that copying his mama. I am so jealous you have pis of Will not only on Santa's lap but actually not squirming away. This year my kid gave Santa a hug but all I got was a picture of the back of his head before he bolted
December 27, 2012
Wow! I'm so proud of Will for not freaking out about sitting on Santa's lap! My little guy…..not so much. He wasn't having it. :/
December 28, 2012
I keep picturing the zombies in Walking Dead walking around with Jumbo Pens…thanks for the visual. And boob break…good one! If I ever have kids I promise to always refer to feedings as boob breaks.
WendyMI permalinkDecember 28, 2012
WOW… is that the same Santa each year? How fabulous that Will is able to get that comfortable feeling that this IS Santa.
LMBO at the "we NEED this!" Love your weird moods.. hee.
December 28, 2012
Love this!! I also am amazed at how you have kept at things with that new little guy!! I am lucky to have dinner on the table these days with a month old and a 2 yr old. lol And returning to work full time now… let's see how this goes.
Will we be getting a post on how things are different with this baby?

Maidless Wonder permalinkDecember 29, 2012
I love this. My little boy (Westley Alexander) is 8 days old and I can't wait for all those first. First Santa pics, first Easter egg hunt, etc. I agree with another poster, you do a great job of doing a lot while having a one month old.

Question, which B & N is this? mall of GA? I love the idea of the same Santa!

Hilarious letter. Btw, I need to find me some adult sized New Balances with the velco strap instead of laces. That would be life changing.

OMG love the candycane PJ's. Where did you find them, I would love to get matching pair for my two little ones.

Nearly 180 Dubuque-area World War II and Korean War veterans are visiting the nation's capital Monday and Tuesday. These are all veterans seeing their war's memorial for the first time ever.
This week marks the seventh and eighth Honor Flights of Greater Dubuque. Conducted back-to-back, half of the nearly 180 veterans left for Washington DC Monday morning and returned Monday night. The other half leaves Tuesday morning and returns that night.
Paul Staner is one of the veterans on Tuesday's flight. He was a US Army mechanic in the 75th Infantry Combat Regiment in the Korean War. Although he never saw combat, he certainly remembers how he was treated upon his only two-week leave in his two years of service.
On a train with some fellow service members, he recalled Monday afternoon in his Cascade home, "we got to Kansas City, and they told us that we'd have to get off the train, that...we had to change cars. So they moved it down the track about a block or two. When we went to get on, there was no seats left. The civilians had the seats," Staner said. "It didn't really bother me then, but it kind of bothers me now."
He said the seeds of anti-troop sentiment felt strongest during the Vietnam War started growing during his time in the service.
"It's so great to be honored to go on an Honor Flight," Staner said. "When I was in the service, it was-- You know, the Vietnam War military wasn't looked down on very good, and it started when I was in the service."
For the majority of his two years of service, he was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He corresponded regularly with his then-sweetheart Janet.
"It wasn't long after I got out of the service, I come back and asked her to marry me," Staner said smiling, sitting next to that woman - his wife - at their kitchen table Monday.
Paul and Janet Staner have been married for more than 50 years. For nearly 45 of those, the Staners worked the land on a farm that provided for their six children. Their post-retirement home is in a quiet neighborhood in town.
It was love at first glance, at a dance, for Paul Staner.
"I remember right where she was standing on the floor," Staner said. "I went over and asked her for a dance."
The moment wasn't so memorable for his wife.
"I don't remember the first dance," she said, "but the second dance, then I remember."
The two started dating, but it was a romance interrupted by his enlistment. Paul Staner was 19 at the time. The two stayed in touch and, upon his return, built their lives together.
Janet Staner said she has no doubt her husband will enjoy his Honor Flight, a trip almost canceled by a car accident the two got into last month. Both suffered injuries, but the couple made the decision Paul Staner would still take the flight.
Tuesday morning, he'll do just that.
Honor Flights are a whirlwind tour of the nation's capital at no cost to the veterans. In Dubuque, the vets gather for their flight at about 5 a.m. and return home that night around 10 p.m.
Each flight costs about $80,000, but organizers save some $10,000 by having back-to-back flights.
Anybody wishing to welcome home either flight's veterans can do so that night at Dubuque's Grand River Center around 10:15 p.m.

Was up early for a photo walk along the Thames last Sunday – which sounds terribly 'pro', when really it was a walk, stumbling along with tripod and camera. A few succesful pictures resulted some HDR, some single exposures. This, for the semi-regular, Wednesday Wine spot is one of the more succesful. A combination of three shots to make an HDR composit. (A single exposure shot taken a little later is on 500px).

Wow, what a victory last night! The Saints have played well under pressure, amid adversity, and under the big spotlight several times now. That's an excellent thing to have on your resume. We won without Shockey, PT, Sharper, and with Reggie rusty and in a funk and doing more damage than good. Others were banged up. But we won.
Now, (inevitable comparison to last year) I was 100% sure we would go to the Super Bowl in 09.. This year, even in the tough times, I have been 100% sure we would make the playoffs. As far as making it to the Super Bowl this year - well I was a ...maybe a ...possibly. But, I never envisioned our defense playing so well this season- I thought they would be improved, but not as much as I am seeing. So I am vastly encouraged. I know they had a kind of bad 2nd half yesterday, but I think the offense's turnovers had much to do with it. They had a GREAT first half. And the Miles Austin reverse, if you take that away, it could be a whole different 2nd half. Where were the refs on that play? I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a hold where it starts to be an offensive player holding a defender's jersey in the front and then continues OVER HIS SHOULDER to be a hold on the defender's jersey from the rear as the defender turns around !! And, it was right NEXT to Austin as he raced by!!! PS- D forced 7 fumbles yesterday. Well, maybe not forced ALL of them, but you know what I mean. A team that fumbles that many times (ala Vikings NFC Champuionship game last year) doesn't deserve to win.
But, the main reason I am now so optimistic that we can get back to the Super Bowl is how we compare to the competition coupled with our ability to raise the level of our game. Here's my 2 minute breakdown.
Atlanta- very good team. Even QBs such as Marino, Elway, the Mannings, Brees, Montana, Young etc have a bad game. Ryan hasn't. He can't play lights out for all 16 games and playoffs. He's too inexperienced for defenses NOT to come up with something to get at him. Everyone is watching tape of Ryan now. It will pay off. On top of that they are a good or even a very good team. Not a great one. They can be beat- you just have to be prepared to make last minute field goals (FPK) as they don't get involved in shoot outs and they don't turn the ball over.
Ryan will stumble, the Falcons will stumble. Probably not tumble, not in a severe manner, but just enough to give us an opening and then we must beat them.
Green Bay- good team, but Aaron Rodgers has to prove he can win big games. Sorry, beating Favre and a lousy Viking team in disarray with Chilly as coach isn't really a big game. Green Bay really doesn't scare anyone once they leave Lambeau and even at home they are not really scary good. Their offense is balanced, but not exceptional at running or passing. Good defense, but I think our offense can score vs any defense. ANY. But, either way, they won't be formidable especially if they come to NOLA or another dome. Saints at Lambeau in the playoffs- that could be a different story. Let's skip that.
Giants- good team- somewhat in disarray. Epitome of inconsistency. Inconsistent teams don't go to the Super Bowl- especially inconsistent teams in Nov- Dec. What I like about the situation with the Giants is they are beat up and will beat up and get beaten up more in their games vs. Phila and Dallas (and at GB and at Minn) . Lots of very physical football ahead of them. Ditto for Eagles getting beat up in their games. NFC East and NFC North clashes seem to be very physical matchups. Clearly not finesse matchups. Giants are banged up already especially at OL- Shawn Andrews just went to hopspital with back pain and has been battling all season in regards to the two back surgeries he's had. Sean Ohare injured and out also. They are their two best OL guys. OL depth is a big issue for them. You can only go as far as the health of your OL will take you. Defense can keep you close, but if the OL is hurtin', the team's hurtin'.
Eagles- good team playing well. A little scary at times with Vick running. Hopefully a big setback is in store this weekend vs. Bears. But, even if they win they are hurting at depth, especially defensive secondary. Hobbs is gone, Assante Samuel is beat up. Teams will try to run over Samuel and make him attempt to make tackles because he can't tackle even when he is healthy. Too small and fragile although he can make picks. Expect his vulnerability to be exposed. At safety they are beat up, not very talented, not very deep and not very experienced. It wil show down the stretch. They live by the blitz and disguise the weakness with many blitzes but if they can't blitz or the QB can take advantage of blitz's, they will pay. To win Vick has to run the ball. Phila O-line is not one of the best. Vick will take MANY hits more down the stretch. He will HAVE to run. Teams with running QBs have never won SBs before. They will play Dallas twice and Dallas' main mission will be to inflict pain because of the ongoing hatred. Dallas has nothing to play for except highlights and pride. Expect there to be a lot of physicality and also there is Phila vs Bears and vs Giants.
But, my main reason for the Eagles to not go to the Super Bowl is good triumphs over evil. Vick won't get there. It's not the right ending. Even if the Saints don't get there ( and I think they will) Rodgers, Manning, Ryan, etc are good guys. Vick is not. Talented- yes, good guy- no. He won't hold the Lombardi- he needs to pay the piper some more- maybe a lot more. He hasn't been out of jail long enough and hasn't paid his dues long enough to be a champion. It just won't happen.
If you say that's not rational, I may have to agree with you. But, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Have I forgotten anyone? Well, for the record, I don't think any other NFC team is for real, including Tampa and Chicago. I'm rooting for Chicago this week, but I don't think they are that good. I am really not sure if their QB is Cutler, Orton or Grossman. Aren't they really just the same guy that changes jerseys occaisonally? ? Not impressed with their QB- if I was I would know more about him. Tampa Bay...meh....Come talk to me if they win in Baltimore. I will be all ears then. NFC West should get a bye from this year's playoffs entirely.
We need to get home field advantage- top seed preferable and second seed at the least and I think it's achieveable. We know we can beat anyone in the NFC (or the NFL) if we play like we can.
Again, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.......

Celtics Sign Green To $36 M Extension
- Updated: August 24, 2012
The Boston Celtics may have lost one of their most important pieces this offseason when Ray Allen opted to sign with the Miami Heat but the team did retain a key component with the re-signing of Jeff Green. The Celtics made the announcement this week by extending him for four years at $36 million.
The Celtics first acquired Green from the Oklahoma City Thunder in return for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson back in the 2010-11, and Green had a tough time fitting in. He averaged around 15 points per game and six rebounds in his career in Oklahoma City but those numbers dipped in Boston to 9.8 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game.
Last season, Green missed every game as a heart ailment forced him to the sidelines. He has publicly said that he feels much better than he ever felt before and after the Celtics worked him out, they deemed him to be good to go.
Green is a forward who should see more playing time these days than he did back when he first arrived. He's versatile enough to play anywhere from shooting guard, to small forward to power forward and the Celtics should have some minutes to soak up.
On the other hand, though, many pundits making their NBA picks question the signing as the Celtics probably don't really need Green – especially knowing that he wasn't a good fit before.
They surely won't need Green at power forward where the team has Brandon Bass and drafted Jared Sullinger. Also, Kevin Garnett is still around, although he'll likely play plenty at center in the coming year and the team also drafted forward Fab Melo.
The Celtics have Paul Pierce at small forward and he plays plenty of minutes but Green's primary role is likely to backup Pierce. Beyond that, the Celtics have Avery Bradley and Jason Terry at shooting guard.
At the end of the day, Green is a versatile player that will give the Celtics ample depth at a number of positions. Now that he's healthy, he should contribute more than when he first got to Boston.

The Philadephia Eagles have reportedly offered former second round pick Kevin Kolb a contract extension in a move that has been anticipated for some time.
Without extending Mcnabb, which is now unlikely, the Eagles risk McNabb walking after next season without compensation. If they feel they can win with Kolb, and they apparently do, it would be more beneficial to them to move McNabb before this draft where it's possible they could receive up to a first round pick in return.
Reports surfaced earlier in the week that several teams (including the Bills) were showing interest in McNabb.Source updated: the source has updated his report claiming that league sources are denying this move. Stay tuned.

Oh, ShitFuck, indeed.
I always write these after the previous game, so this is slammed together after the reaming we received in Vancouver. Those two calls in the third were amongst the worse I've seen all season. The Kariya slash? The ref that made that call was closer to SEATTLE than he was to the play, and still makes that call. Of course, the GWG came moments later. Then, they call a highstick on Perron that was more about Sedin's reaction than any real contact. All of this further reaffirms that Vancouver is a team of fucksticks that weasel their way through every game.
Nothing deep here, guys, except for the bullshit.
In the meantime, here's the first song that matches my thoughts right now. Enjoy.
We go back at it against the Oilers tonight. They are not a very good team right now, but will certainly take advantage if the Blues don't focus. Hopefully, our boys can shake off the Vancouver stench and zero in on winning in Edmonton. The Oilers are 0-8-2 in their last 10 games, and are dead last in the
West League. Take the two points here, and then come on home.
Further Reading:
This is also your pre-party. Puck Drops at 8:30 St Louis time, and the GDT begins shortly beforehand. Until then, we can take turns nudging Hildy awake, bitch about refs, and maybe listen to another song (Rhapsody player pop-up) that matches our collective mood.
Until then, LGB!

Eat More AND Lose Weight!
If your resolution is to lose weight this year, don't jump on the latest diet bandwagon. Instead, focus on eating MORE! By turning your attention to all of the foods you CAN have, you'll see that there are lots of delicious foods to choose from that won't leave you feeling deprived!
MORE Fruits & Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are great for weight loss because they are rich in fiber and contain a high percentage of water, which creates a sense of larger volume in your stomach and helps you feel full. Non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, peppers and mushrooms are also extremely low in calories. By being conscious of how you prepare fruits and vegetables at meals and snacks, you can fill up quickly on very few calories!
MORE Whole Grains
Eat more whole grains in place of processed or fried carbohydrate-rich foods to save calories and stay full throughout the day. Whole grain foods also tend to have a lower glycemic index than their refined counterparts, which means better control of blood sugar levels between meals, and less temptation to reach for sugary snacks.
MORE Snacks
Smart snacks help you maintain normal blood sugar levels, which keeps your energy high and hunger cravings at bay. Snacks are also great opportunities to eat more fruits and vegetables. To make smart snack decisions, look for foods at BI-LO that are tagged "Sensible Carbs" on the price tag, and pair with a protein-rich food. Here are some examples:
- One handful of whole grain crackers and a reduced fat mozzarella string cheese
- One small apple with two tablespoons of peanut butter
- One container (6 oz) plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup of fresh or frozen berries
MORE Low-Calorie Beverages
For weight loss, it is crucial to eliminate hidden calories, and fluids are one of the worst culprits! By focusing on more water, more unsweetened teas, and less soda and other sugary drinks, you'll easily eliminate hundreds of calories daily. And by eliminating these hidden sugars, you'll also gain better control of your blood sugar levels. Being properly hydrated also ensures your metabolism is working at top speed, so drink up to slim down.

Wet-process India arabica coffees are very mild coffees when they are correctly picked and processed. But much of the coffee is grown at relatively low altitudes and poorly processed and prepared. There is a lot of regular commercial grade India arabica. Even when well done, the coffees can be 'softish' physically and in flavor. Soft coffees from low altitudes are more difficult to roast (especially in small home roasters I believe). The result can be ashy flavors, and greater risk of scorching or tipping the coffee. That's why I have been very impressed with this new crop arrival of Pearl Mountain Peaberry. This coffee plantation was planted in 1920 by Shivappaiya Patre, who cultivated the estate and called it Ratnagiri which when translated to English means Pearl Mountain. This estate has now been passed on to the 3rd generation of Estate owners, Rohith and Ashok Patre. The coffee is planted between 1200 and 1500 meters in a zone of the Western Ghat mountains that gets consistently heavy rainfall. The coffee on the farm is interplanted with pepper vines (which are grown on the canopy of large shade trees) and cardamom groves. The Patre family is extremely quality conscious. The coffee is grown under shade trees midst pepper vines and cardamom groves. The carefully picked cherries are sorted prior to pulping, fermented between 42 and 72 hours and hand-washed in water from clear mountain streams. The brightness and clean cup taste really sets this Indian arabica coffee apart from the mirky-tasting, unclean flavors we find often in India wet-process coffees, which are generally more commercial-level coffees.
The aromatics form an intriguing and complicated sensual image, in anticipation of the cup flavors. The dry fragrance has a clean hazelnut tone in its roast aspect, almost sweet-savory in spice notes, with a hint of sandalwood. The wet aroma is very sweet, caramelized notes of dark sugar, slightly fruited with baked apple, cinnamon and allspice. The cup is loaded with sweet spices and praline nut, as well as possessing a striking brightness. There is a muted fruit note of baked apple that is more apparent at the lighter City roast level. But it's really at a darker level, City+, where the coffee comes into its own. The nutty tone sweetens, and the bright snap in the cup brings life to the roast tone. Hazelnut predominates, with nice caramelized sugar notes, with powdered Dutch cocoa in the finish. Darker roasts have a more pungent roast taste, with cola nut sweetness. The body is moderate, not noticeably heavy.

Follow @eFatwa
Advising the innovator
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it permissible to keep the company of or talk to an innovator, or is it better to boycott him?
It is befitting to advise the innovator before anything, as he (sal-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
«Religion is sincerity». We said: "To whom?" He said:
«To Allaah and His Book, and His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk» - transmitted by Muslim.
And it is hoped that Allaah will guide him because of you, and if you are incapable (of offering him advice), then it is better to leave him, and it is not permissible to keep the company of an innovator, nor is it befitting to sit in his company because the likes of him are best kept away from. It is quite possible a person will become lenient whilst in his company, and thereafter one day become like him.
We ask Allaah for safety and good health.

Glenn Beck wants to create his own America
The King of the crazies wants to create his own American. Glenn Beck said that he wants to create a self-sustaining community. This mess comes from the Ayn Rand's character John Galt in "Atlas Shrugged." (Go Figure)
Here's more:
The community will be known as Independence, USA. If and when it is completed, Independence will produce its own food and TV and film content. There will be homes, baseball fields and a theme park. Think: Small Town, USA, but with a Beckish vibe.He can move to Afghanistan for all I care.
Beck announced his plans on "The Glenn Beck Program." The main entrance to the proposed community will be based on Ellis Island because, in Beck's words, that's how most Americans came to the country. There will also be a marketplace, but don't confuse it with your local mall.
"There's not going to be a Gap here. There's no Ann Taylor. You want an Ann Taylor, go someplace else," Beck said in a video announcement. The marketplace, Beck says, will be a place for people to create their own businesses and learn from others.

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays activated outfielder Colby Rasmus from the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
Rasmus, who had been sidelined since Aug. 11 with a strained left oblique, will start in center field and bat sixth when Toronto begins a three-game series with the Orioles on Friday.
The 27-year-old was batting .273 with 18 home runs and 60 RBI prior to the injury, which he sustained while checking his swing during an at-bat against the Oakland Athletics last month.

The three most Zionist lawmakers in the 18th Knesset – according to the
Institute for Zionist Studies think tank – are the Likud's Yariv Levin, Habayit
Hayehudi leadership candidate Zevulun Orlev and, ironically, Hadash MK Dov Henin
– who does not identify as a Zionist.
Upon receiving notice of his
ranking, Henin told the think tank it is "mistaken in its essence."
decision to include democratic legislation in your index creates a strange
result, because you connect two values that are opposed and contradictory,"
Henin wrote.
"I am proud of the democratic laws I passed in the Knesset,
but there is a deep and significant contradiction between them and 'Zionist
laws' that you support."
The Hadash MK added that he is proud of his
party that supports Arab-Jewish partnership as opposed to "nationalism and
racism that is dominant in Israeli society."
In the Zionist Legislation
Index released this week, the think tank measures laws that promote not only
Israel's Jewish character, but also its democracy. The Institute for Zionist
Studies listed categories such as defending citizens' security, preserving
Jewish and democratic identity, demographics and immigrant absorption, and
strengthening democracy.
Henin proposed eight such laws, including an
amendment to the Retirement Age Law, which the index said "promotes equality
between men and women," and an amendment to the Employment Services Law, which
is meant to "prevent harming freedom of trade."
Levin topped the index
with nine Zionist bills, including the Boycott Law, which makes it illegal to
boycott Israeli products based on where they were manufactured, and a bill
regulating government funding to museums in memory of former prime ministers
Menahem Begin and Yitzhak Rabin.
"It is a great honor for me to be a
leader in Zionist legislation," Levin said.
"I see steadfast and
consistent activity to promote Zionist values, an essential and central stage in
building the State of Israel and strengthen it to face the future."
seven Zionist bills Orlev proposed include one establishing an Ethiopian Jewry
Heritage Center and another aiding citizens removed from their homes following
the Gaza disengagement.

University of Toledo head football coach Matt Campbell announced the addition of Jon Heacock and Anthony Johnson to the Rockets' staff today. Heacock, a former head coach at Youngstown State as well as a former UT graduate assistant, will serve as defensive coordinator and safeties coach. Johnson, a former Sam Houston State assistant, will serve as the Rockets' running backs coach.
"I'm very excited to add John Heacock and Anthony Johnson to our staff," said Campbell. "Jon has had a tremendous amount of coaching experience at all levels, and brings the added value of having been a college head coach. Anthony is a rising young coach in our business and will bring a lot of energy and a new perspective into our running game."
Jon Heacock – Defensive Coordinator / Safeties
Jon Heacock, a 30-year veteran of the college football coaching ranks, returns to Toledo as the defensive coordinator. Heacock, who spent the 1983 season as a graduate assistant at UT under Dan Simrell, will also coach the safeties.
"I can't say enough about the experience that Jon brings to our program," said Campbell. "He was a Rocket under Coach Simrell back in the 1980's, so you could say he is coming back to his roots. Since those days, Jon has gained a reputation for being one of the great defensive minds in college football. We are very fortunate to have someone of his stature join our program."
Heacock comes to the Rockets after spending one season as the defensive backs coach at Purdue. Prior to that, he was the defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach at Kent State in 2011 and 2012. Under Heacock, the Golden Flashes' defense had 38 takeaways in 2012, second among all FBS schools, and an FBS-best 1.62 turnover margin. The Flashes finished with an 11-3 record in 2012, including a perfect 8-0 mark in the Mid-American Conference. They were in the upper half of the MAC in nearly every defensive statistical category, including second in rushing defense and fourth in scoring defense. In 2011, Heacock's defense was seventh in the FBS in fumbles recovered and turnover margin, 10th in turnovers gained, 18th in tackles for loss and 21st in total defense.
Prior to joining KSU in 2011, Heacock spent nine seasons as the head coach at Youngstown State, which included a 2006 run to the national semifinals in the Football Championship Subdivision. He was named the Gateway Conference Coach of the Year in 2005 and 2006 and ended his tenure with a 60-44 overall record.
In addition to serving as the head coach at YSU, Heacock also served as the Penguins' defensive coordinator for six years (1992-96, 2000) and defensive backs coach for an additional year (1991), which included Division I-AA national championships in 1991, 1993 and 1994.
Heacock also has Big Ten experience, having served as the defensive coordinator at Indiana from 1997 to 1999 and as a graduate assistant under legendary head coach Bo Schembechler at Michigan.
Heacock played college football at Muskingum College, graduating in 1983 with a degree in health and physical education.

Anthony Johnson – Running Backs
Anthony Johnson joins the Rockets as the running backs coach. Johnson previously worked at Sam Houston State as the running backs coach, playing a key role in the Bearkats' 40-15 record the past four years.
"Anthony has made a huge impact as the running backs coach at a very successful Sam Houston State program," said Campbell. "He also has experience at the University of Texas, where he played and coached. I think he will be a huge plus in mentoring a very talented group of running backs."
Sam Houston's running backs have led a Bearkat offense that has produced 38 school records since 2010. The 2012 Bearkats ranked second in the nation in scoring and seventh nationally in rushing yards. The team scored 600 points, a mark only two other teams in NCAA-FCS play have equaled.
Under Johnson's tutelage, running back Timothy Flanders earned All-America and Southland Conference "Player of the Year" honors in consecutive seasons and wildcat back Richard Sincere earned Southland Conference "Offensive Player of the Year" honors in 2011. Flanders was a first team all-league selection and won honors as Southland "Newcomer of the Year" during Johnson's first season at Sam Houston in 2010.
Prior to his stint at Sam Houston, Johnson served on the quality control staff for the University of Texas for three seasons. He worked as a direct assistant to the running backs coach, helping with analyzing video and breaking down opposing defense reports.
As a Longhorns' assistant, Johnson worked with three NFL draft picks - Cedric Benson (Chicago Bears-first round), Jamaal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs-third round) and Chris Ogbonnaya (Saint Louis Rams-seventh round). Benson was a first-team All-America selection and winner of the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back. Charles was Big 12 "Freshman of the Year" and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors.
While Johnson was a member of the Longhorns' coaching staff from 2007-09, Texas rolled up a 34-4 record, won the Fiesta Bowl and Holiday Bowl titles and played in the national championship game.
Johnson was an assistant coach at Jefferson High School in Jefferson, TX in 2006, coaching two all-district running backs. The team went 10-2, winning the bi-district championship.
Johnson was a member of the Longhorns' football team from 2001-05, playing on teams that won the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl and two Holiday bowls. He holds a degree from Texas in applied learning and development.
Johnson and his wife Erica are the parents of a daughter, London.

Ah, summertime! It's what my kidlets look forward to all year. Two solid months of fun, excitement and no stress. Days filled with playing, hanging out with friends, swimming, making crafts and eating lots of ice cream. Hearing about my kidlet's daily adventures makes me wish I could be a kid again – having a pretty-much carefree summer instead of going to work everyday.
However, as many of you moms out there would agree, while I want my kidlets to enjoy their break, I don't want them to suffer from "summer slide." That's what happens when young minds sit idle for weeks at a time without any learning instruction. To help avoid this, I enrolled both the kidlets in our local library's summer reading program.
Each of my kidlets – my son is almost seven, my daughter is 4½ – got their own personalized reading log. We keep the logs hung up on the bulletin board in our kitchen for easy access.

Familiar problems for Blanc and PSG
Paris Saint-Germain were held to a second draw of the season by Evian Thonon Gaillard in Annecy on Friday. The French champions failed to score and played out a 0-0 draw with a Savoyard side that had conceded nine goals in its first two Ligue 1 games this season.
It was not a classic encounter at Parc des Sports and Yohan Cabaye's second-half send off could have contributed to a worse result overall.

Sam Finley (blue) celebrates winning the Title with Ryan Fraughan
Promising young midfield terrier Sam Finley is the latest player to put pen to paper for next season with Champions TNS.
The deal completed by the Park Hall club today will see him extend his career with the Corbett Sports Welsh Premier League Champions, having arrived in February 2012.
He has gone on to make a big impression during his first full year at the club, although he was sent-off twice in the Welsh Cup this season, against Haverfordwest County in the quarter-final and against Bangor City in the semi-final.
The former Southport midfielder was a key component of the side last season and helped his team win the League by a record 22 point margin. The 20 year old had previously spent time at the Everton academy.

While Sheriff Downey told the press that the jail funding application was denied due to a lack of time to respond to technical requirements, my review of the Sheriff's Oct. 24, 2013, application for construction funding tells a different story. That application reported to the state that the average daily population of our jail was 370 persons. In that same report, Sheriff Downey told the state that the average daily population of county offenders on electronic monitoring was three. Only three people a day on electronic monitoring; less than one percent of our jail population. That same report showed that an average of only two people per day had their jail sentences converted to SWAP, the Sheriff's Work Alternative Program, where prisoners can work off their sentences instead of jail. Why was the state asking for this information? Because it wanted to see the sheriff make a good faith effort to utilize new approaches to criminal sentencing, to reduce the need for jail beds.
The sheriff has made only token efforts to implement sentencing reform. Electronic monitoring and SWAP are cheaper, more humane, and just as effective as jail for most offenders. The sheriff's lack of effort in these areas is, in my opinion, one of the main reasons why the state denied his request for jail expansion funding.
Mitch Gratz is the deputy sheriff who runs the SWAP program at the sheriff's office. Deputy Gratz would like to see the SWAP program expanded. One of the main obstacles to expansion of the SWAP program is that an offender sentenced to jail usually receives a 50 percent reduction in his sentence. An offender on SWAP has to serve the whole sentence by working 8 hours a day with no reduction in sentencing. Most people would rather serve 50 percent time in jail than 100 percent time working SWAP. Who can blame them? The sheriff needs to eliminate this disparity. In fact, he needs to make SWAP more attractive than jail. SWAP workers clean up garbage, cut firewood for seniors, and do other important work for our community. Jailed offenders just cost the taxpayers money and watch television.
Supervisor Bohn patted the sheriff on the back for his failed effort at jail expansion. What the sheriff really needs is a swift kick in the pants to come into the 21st century on the issue of sentencing reform. How about it, supervisors?
