Baseball Inks Seven for 2011
Nov. 11, 2009
FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle announced the signing of seven athletes to National Letters of Intent. All seven members hail from the state of Texas. The class features six high school players and one junior college transfer.
Three of the signees are from the Metroplex in Brett Johnson (INF, Plano/Plano Senior High), Teddy Nowell (LHP, Mesquite/Navarro J.C.) and Tony Rizzotti (RHP, Arlington/Martin High School). The other four members of the class are from the Houston area in Stefan Crichton (RHP, Katy/Cinco Ranch High School), Nicholas Frey (RHP, The Woodlands/The Woodlands High School), Tyler Green (RHP/INF, Lake Jackson/Brazoswood) and Andrew Mitchell (RHP, Houston/Stratford High School).
"This class is, again, very representative of some tremendously hard work on the part of Todd Whitting and Randy Mazey," raved Schlossnagle. "Depending on how the draft plays out this spring, we will lose some quality pitchers off this year's team to both graduation and professional baseball so we felt like we needed to continue to add to the pitching staff.
"Brett Johnson, Tyler Green and, possibly, Teddy Nowell will help us fill the few losses we may have on the offensive side of the game," said Schlossnagle. "I am particularly excited about Green and Johnson and their ability to impact us at the plate and in the field."
A three-time letterwinner at Plano Senior High, Johnson is a two-time first-team all-district performer. As a sophomore, he earned team MVP honors. In his last two seasons, Johnson is hitting .350 with 19 doubles, five home runs, 43 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. Johnson plays for the D Bat organization during the summer.
"Brett is a tremendous sign for this class as he is a left-handed hitter who can play multiple positions on the field," remarked associate head coach Todd Whitting. "He brings needed depth to left side of the plate for our team. Johnson has solid power and should hit for high average."
The lone junior college transfer, Nowell was an all-conference performer as a freshman at Navarro Junior College. Nowell had a decorated high school career that saw him earn all-district honors four times as well as district MVP accolades as a junior and senior. He was also a two-time first-team all-state performer and played in the all-state game as a senior. He completed high school with a 28-1 career record. Nowell previously participated in the D Bat baseball organization in high school.
"Nowell was one of top pitchers in Texas junior college baseball last season and will once again be the ace of the Navarro College pitching staff," said Whitting. "He is a workhorse type pitcher who will bring additional depth to our staff in regards to left-handed pitching."
Rizzotti has earned two letters at Arlington Martin High School. As a junior, he earned first-team all-district honors and was named to the Star-Telegram's first-team Super Team. An honorable mention all-state member, Rizzotti took part in the Area Code games as part of the Texas Rangers team. As a junior, he compiled an 8-1 record in 65 innings pitched with 82 strikeouts and a 0.74 ERA. He is a member of the National Honor Society. Rizzotti also participated in the Texas Scouts Association All Star Game.
"Tony is a tremendous strike thrower with a great feel for pitching." remarked Whitting. "He has a swing and miss breaking ball and great deception. He will be one of top players in Metroplex this spring and should have an immediate impact in our program."
Crichton earned team MVP honors on the strength of a successful junior campaign at Katy Cinco Ranch High School that saw him finish with a 5-3 record to go along with a 3.20 ERA. He fanned 63 batters in 51 innings pitched. He was selected first-team all-district and was a Houston Chronicle Player of the Week runner up on April 13. He was also selected to play for the Houston Kyle Chapman summer baseball team.
"Crichton has a great deal of projection and easy delivery to go along with low 90's fastball," stated Whitting. "He has great command of zone and continues to emerge as one of premier players in Texas."
Green, a two-time all-district performer, has lettered three years at Brazoswood High for head coach Bobby Williams. As a junior, he led the Houston area in home runs and posted a .400 batting average. On the mound, he finished the campaign with a 1.98 ERA. Along the way, he picked up first-team all-county, all-greater Houston and second-team all-state honors. As a sophomore, he was a first-team all-county performer and a second-team all-greater Houston honoree. He was selected to play for the Texas Rangers Area Code Team, the Texas Scouts Association All-Star Game and is a member of the Houston Kyle Chapman summer program.
"Tyler, in our opinion, is one of the top two-way players not only in Texas but in the entire country in the 2010 class," remarked Whitting. "He will hit for not only average but should put up big power numbers for the Frogs during his career. He is also an elite pitcher with a mid 90's fastball and power breaking pitch. Tyler is a great athlete and a fierce competitor."
Mitchell is a two-time all-district performer at Houston Stratford High School. After honorable mention honors as a sophomore, he earned first-team all-district accolades following his junior season. He appeared in the Houston Area Baseball Coaches Association Junior All-Star game. Mitchell is a member of the Houston Heat Summer Baseball program.
"Mitchell really came on the scene late in the summer with a low 90's fastball and continues to get a better feel for his secondary pitches," remarked Whitting. "He will be one of top pitchers in the Houston area next spring."
A two-time letterwinner at The Woodlands High School, Frey was an honorable mention all-district performer following his junior campaign. He was selected to participate in the HABBA Futures game as well as the Area Code games as a member of the Texas Rangers squad. Frey is a member of the Houston Heat Summer Baseball program.
"Frey comes from powerhouse program at The Woodlands High School and should have an immediate impact for the Frogs," said Whitting. "He is a very athletic pitcher, who has a tremendous upside and feel for pitching. He will be one of top arms in Texas next spring."

Reporter Scott Taylor has confirmed the dispatcher on the Amanda Berry 911 call is being investigated by Cleveland City Hall.
The claim is that the call taker cursed at Berry at the very end of the call. The call taker is alleged to have called Berry a f***ing b****.
Police had their Forensic Audio Team slow down the 911 calls, but tell Taylor they can't determine the full two words in question. They do say the first word begins with an "F" and the second word begins with "B."
19 Action News had two independent Audio Forensic Experts analyze Berry's 911 call, and one expert says the second word is b****.
The second independent Forensic Audio Expert says that, in his opinion, the call taker says f***in b****.
The 911 call taker, according to the City, is a man. 19 Action News is not naming him because, so far, he has not been found to have done anything wrong.

Eighty houses. In about a year, my wife and I had toured 80 homes — hundreds more if you count online searches.
If you're not an insurance salesman, cat burglar or (like us) first-time home buyers in a wacky Atlanta housing market, you've probably never skulked through so many strangers' living rooms in 12 months.
On a rainy Tuesday in March, we toured Nos. 79 and 80.
We were exhausted.
Elizabeth and I had made our fifth offer on a property (tour No. 78) just days earlier. It was a brown brick Dunwoody, Ga., ranch with a manicured yard and screened-in porch that reminded me of my late grandparents' home. The first day it was on the market, we scoped it out along with at least six other couples.
"Is this your house?" I asked Elizabeth.
"I don't know," she said. "Is it your house?"
Elizabeth envisioned children — those we one day hope to have — building forts in the backyard and chasing geese around a nearby pond.
We knew the house was hot, and we made an audacious bid — $8,000 above the asking price. But we lost. Our real estate agents said it was likely to a hedge fund, private investors scooping up homes.
We were crushed.
Home price forecasts and economic reports show the metro housing market is on a tear. As a business reporter, I've covered the fall and rise of Georgia real estate. But I hadn't really understood how insanely tough finding a home can be.
We'd had two previous houses under contract last year and bailed on them both after the home inspector we hired raised too many red flags for our comfort.
When we set out to buy a home, we thought it would be easy. Foreclosures were everywhere, and buyers could seemingly name their price.
But we've witnessed the housing market rapidly shift from buyer's paradise to seller's rebound. And the dynamics are off-putting.
Supply is at an all-time low, according to real estate data firm SmartNumbers. Much of what is for resale isn't pretty. Basic upkeep is lacking, as many sellers hunkered down in the recession. And where we wanted to live, we couldn't afford to buy a new house.
Hungry investors
There's also another dynamic at play: Wall Street.
Big name funds backed by millions of dollars are not only buying foreclosures hawked from county courthouses across the region, they're bidding against traditional buyers for single-family homes they plan to fix up and rent.
We've lost to them at least twice.

Dr Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan and Marie Jasinski
OVERVIEW: Since April 1999, we have designed, facilitated and evaluated a series of web-based games on a range of topics with over 1000 practitioners mostly within the vocational and corporate training sectors in Australia and the USA. Our observations and feedback from our players have led us to reinforce what we suspected: that unglamorous, "low tech" but highly functional communications technology like e-mail, bulletin boards and chat can be used as primary tools to promote and encourage collaborative interactive learning online. This article documents our observations and experiences in the use of e-mail games.
Why virtual games? A significant investment has been made in the development, support and management of online learning environments. Yet there are mixed reports about how well these environments are being utilized. While outstanding successes will always be showcased, there are many online training products gathering dust on virtual shelves. Attracting learners, teachers, and other stakeholders to adopt an online learning environment, seems a bit like handing out samples of a new product line in a supermarket. Customers certainly come and taste, and may even buy a trial size pack, but sampling and trialling doesn't mean that in the long run they are going to buy the product or indeed switch brands.
While enough learners are motivated to enrol in an online course many do not stay or return. How do we motivate learners to not only come but also to stay, contribute and return to the world of online learning?
There are many layers of complexity to consider when exploring how to motivate online learners. This presentation focuses on one of these layers: how to promote and encourage person-to-person interactivity through the use of e-mail games.
Virtual games: promoting person-to-person interaction online
Interactivity is promoted as one of the most valuable features of online learning. However, a closer look at many instructional offerings online, reveals that much of the provided interactivity is of a variety that only connects the learner with the content. The online environment offers much more than person-to-computer interaction. Communication technologies like e-mail, bulletin boards and chat have often been overlooked as primary learning technologies. Yet we have found they offer unique opportunities for supporting game-based instructional strategies that encourage learner-to-learner and learner-to-facilitator interaction.
Through the use of open-ended and often provocative questions, virtual games are a challenging way to create and process content, check and assess participant understanding, use role play and simulations to solve problems, make decisions and provide feedback. The challenge of virtual games is in the instructional design and facilitation rather than technological skill and sophistication.
While virtual games can be played with any combination of e-mail, bulletin boards, chat and web pages, in this instance, we have chosen to focus on e-mail.
How to play an e-mail game
In an e-mail game, a facilitator and a group of players address a key issue by sending and receiving e-mail messages during several rounds of play spread over a period of days or weeks. Unlike fancy web-based or real-time games that involve sophisticated graphics, programming and simultaneous play in chat rooms, our e-mail games are limited to low technology and text messages. Typical e-mail games exploit the ability of the Internet to ignore geographic distances and capitalize on the ability of participants to generate and process content through the posing of an open-ended and often provocative question. In the early rounds of play, the interaction is between players and the facilitator, while in later rounds, players come together via a bulletin board to discuss processed content and to debrief.
In addition to training, e-mail games can be used for encouraging participation in a variety of benchmarking and idea-sharing activities. For example, most of our games have been played in a professional development context in the LearnScope Virtual Learning Community at www.learnscope.anta.gov.au. LearnScope is an Australian national professional development program aimed to encourage teachers and trainers in the vocational education and training sector to utilise online technologies to achieve more flexible learning. Games have also been played with members of the American Society for Training and Development and the North American Simulation and Gaming Association.
Here are three examples of e-mail games we have played with these groups.
Game 1: Depolarizer
Depolarizer is a role play game using e-mail and a bulletin board. An open-ended question is posed; for example, Do lurkers learn? Through a six round series lasting about a week, players explore this issue from both a personal perspective and also from a designated role. Depolarizer is based on the philosophy that many issues that we treat as problems to be solved are actually polarities to be managed. The game begins by having players think about their opinions regarding a selected polarizing issue (in this case, whether lurkers do learn). By informing the players about the range of positions, we increase their awareness of the spread of opinions around the issue. By having players randomly role-play extremes, we encourage them to think about different points of view. By reviewing extremely polarized comments, we help players make more informed decisions. The game seems to encourage players at extremes to get closer to the average. We may not change anyone's opinion, but we increase their level of awareness about alternative points of view by playing the Depolarizer game.
Game 2: Galactic Wormhole
In this role play game, players participate in a time-travel scenario to explore an issue relevant to their context, for example, the status of online learning in vocational training in the year 2004. They are given either a Utopian or a Dystopian scenario based on a newspaper headline, either:
Utopia is here: Australian VET sector leads the world in online learning
Dystopia is here: Australian VET sector lags behind the world in online learning
Players are randomly assigned one of these two scenarios and given a stakeholder role of either teacher, learner, manager, decision maker or industry client. Each player is then asked to submit a 150 word story outlining how their stakeholder contributed to either this utopian or dystopian future for online learning in vocational education and training.
These scenarios are submitted anonymously to the facilitator who collates and posts them in a designated discussion forum or on a web page. After reviewing all the scenarios for both positions, players submit their five top ideas for ensuring a utopian future for online learning in VET. From the list of ideas submitted, players then vote on the five top issues that need to be addressed to ensure a utopian future for online learning in VET.
Game 3: C3PO
C3PO stands for Challenge, Pool, Poll Predict, Outcome. In Round 1 of C3PO, an open-ended challenge is posed to the players eg How do you increase person-to-person interaction in Internet-based training? Players are given a deadline to send their top three ideas to the Facilitator. In Round 2, the resulting pool of ideas is sent back to the players whose next task is to generate a popularity list. They read through the pool of ideas, select the three most personally appealing and send them to the Facilitator. The task for Round 3 is to predict from the original pool the three ideas on top of the group popularity list. The player with the closest prediction is the winner! A bulletin board is then used to debrief the game.
What players have said about playing e-mail games
I understand the use of e-mail and lack of contact with other players being useful in terms of not being 'influenced' by`each other until the next step and making it 'safe' to be extreme.
Depolariser I thought showed how the aims of opening out perspectives on a subject could/should be achieved in new ways with new technologies. It was also pleasant to see someone actually use technology in a new way, rather than theorize about it, so cheers too for Thiagi and Marie, from me. This was an inventive and effective experience.
The anonymity did not worry me. The role playing helped make things more objective. It is more difficult to take offense to an anonymous statement without a real person behind it. The role playing also allowed for extreme statements without the protective social barriers that might otherwise be raised.
Many thanks. I finally managed to get involved and your "games" were fantastic and gave plenty of food for thought.
Observations and feedback The following are the emerging success factors we have observed so far and are in the process of exploring in greater depth.
Designing E-mail games Like any other training method, e-mail games require a significant level of planning to ensure successful outcomes. Our e-mail games are designed as frame games. Frame games are generic templates which have been thoroughly field-tested to ensure the process works in a range of contexts. The key advantage of a frame game is its "tried and true" formula: a facilitator can take a game, plug in their own content and use it with confidence.
However, there is much more to a successful e-mail game than plugging in new content and knowing that the process will work. Besides choosing the right game, there are different design components that must also be considered when deciding whether an e-mail game is appropriate for a training context.
The task: What to do want your learners to do? Will a game be appropriate strategy to achieve a learning task?
The technology: Do your learners have the appropriate hardware, software and technical support to enable them to effectively participate in an e-mail game?
The media: Is a text-based media like e-mail an appropriate way to achieve the learning task and a suitable technology for your user group?
Players: Does the learning context enable players to effectively participate in e-mail games? Issues to consider include voluntary versus mandatory participation, learning location, computer literacy, and type of support provided. People have different learning preferences and this can be a big challenge for some. Some free spirits get irritated by the contrived and artificial rules of the games. They'd prefer an uncontrolled discussion.
Facilitation: Do you have the time, commitment and skill to facilitate a virtual game?
The heart of the matter for a successful virtual game is effective facilitation. Although players generate and process the content, the facilitator orchestrates the game. To provide a seamless virtual game, facilitation requires technical, administrative, interpersonal and instructional design functions .
We'll have a quick look at these in turn.
Facilitators need a working knowledge of the communication technologies they will be using to play virtual games as well as spreadsheets for data management.
As responses to e-mail games arrive they must be processed quickly and accurately in preparation for the next round of play. Accurate and systematic record keeping, like player tracking, collation of input and sending out of next rounds are critical to the smooth flow of e-mail games.
While the templates provide you with all the steps you need to play a game, facilitating a game is more than a mechanical process. Setting the scene, sustaining motivation and debriefing relies on the human factor and a fair degree of interpersonal skill. Facilitators need to monitor the progress of a game and determine when to change pace, contact individual players and change the tone of the play. Player participation patterns vary. Some players reply promptly, others leave it to the last minute, some miss rounds but contribute to others and some will register but never contribute.
Instructional design
Virtual Games require a dynamic instructional process. You are close to your players and in a position to be responsive to feedback. As the games are played in rounds, this makes instructional design a dynamic, iterative process. If something is not working, it can be readily changed.
The game is an excuse for the debrief
People don't always learn from experience! Players can have a great time participating in an e-mail game but learn nothing. To ensure that the games have maximum impact on performance improvement, debriefing is perhaps the most important component of an e-mail game. Debriefing provides the opportunity for reflection to take place which hopefully will facilitate the transfer of learning from the game to the work context. We tend to use a bulletin board for debriefing. It provides an opportunity for players to meet and share their experiences. We have developed a debriefing template which can be adapted to each context by the facilitator. Typical debriefing questions include: How do you feel? What did you learn? What three issues stood out? What could be done differently? How does this apply to your workplace?
Virtual games are serious fun and offer a challenging way to quickly and effectively process open-ended divergent questions that require application, analysis and synthesis.

Mexico continues their money-making tour of the United States/World Cup Qualifying preparation with a friendly match against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday night. El Tri is coming off a solid 2-0 win over Wales in New Jersey, and now takes their talents to Chicago, where they'll be effectively a home team in a 'neutral site' friendly.
Bosnia-Herzegovina's last match didn't go well, and they're not exactly carrying any positive momentum into Thursday night's game. They were very poor against Ireland on Saturday, and the 1-0 score doesn't tell the whole story. Ireland's finishing was poor while Bosnia-Herzegovina goalkeeper Asmir Begovic was excellent. They could have very easily lost by three or four goals.
Mexico is without a number of their best young talents, as they play in a separate Under-23 tournament in preparation for the Olympics. This means that a number of fringe players in the 23-to-25-year-old age range are getting chances at playing time with El Tri. Jesus Molina, Edgar Andrade, Jesus Zavala, Hugo Ayala and Severo Meza fall into this category. Meza, Andrade and Zavala all started against Wales. Meza put in a good showing at right back, and might have an opportunity to take over that spot full time if he can put in another good performance.
Aldo de Nigris started that match as well, while 'Chicharito' Javier Hernandez rested. Because of his two-goal effort in that game, de Nigris might get another run-out while Chicharito spends another game on the bench, though 'Chepo' Jose Manuel de la Torre might reinstate Hernandez simply to avoid a potential future selection controversy. Andrade was solid in place of the resting Andres Guardado, but the former Deportivo La Coruña star, who was finalizing terms with new club Valencia when the Wales match rolled around, could return to the starting lineup.
Game Date/Time: Thursday, 9 p.m. ET
Venue: Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois
TV: Univision (U.S. - Spanish)

text: According to MLBTradeRumors.com, the Athletics have signed Shawn Chacon. Yes, the same Shawn Chacon that beat up his former GM, Ed Wade. Chacon last pitched in the Independent League, with the Newark Bears, where he put up decent numbers. I don't really see much upside in this move, just thought it is somewhat interesting and quite out of the blue. Do you think he will get a shot with the big league club? Or will he be used as a mere minor league roster filler, with only a chance to see the Majors once again if an injury or two or three occurs?

Castleton State College President David Wolk says there are many reasons why the college made a big push five years ago to expand intercollegiate sports.
"When you immerse students in very positive activities, extra-curricular activities and the arts and athletics, grade-point averages go up, community service is enhanced," Wolk said.
Wolk says over the last decade, the school has worked hard to build up these programs. The number of student athletes at Castleton has jumped from 100 to nearly 500.
"And for the most part, their conduct has been excellent," Wolk said.
But now six football players are front and center in a criminal investigation. Vermont State police say they may be involved in a retail theft ring, stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from a sporting goods store in Rutland.
"I was really surprised and I was really sad because I know these kids. And I was pretty shocked that they could have been involved," Wolk said.
The investigation started after Castleton's starting quarterback, George Busharis, was caught leaving Dick's with $300 worth of merchandise and a receipt for only $3. All-American wide receiver and CSC star player Brandon Boyle works at the store. Police say security cameras show him helping other players steal from the store.
Wolk says it's something he never expected.
"So, you try to treat these kids as you would members of your own family, so that makes it particularly heartbreaking because these are good kids who made a very serious mistake," Wolk said.
But Wolk says the college is moving forward. The six athletes will remain suspended from the team indefinitely as the investigation continues. And although the Spartans team could suffer with many star players missing, the president says now is the time for the remaining players on the team to shine.
"I've talked to a lot of the kids who remain on the team-- there are a number of kids who can now step up and take leadership positions. Not just get more playing time on the field, but become leaders," Wolk said. "And so that is the silver lining in the cloud and it's a good thing for those kids."
Vt. State Police are still not releasing the names of the additional four players involved in the investigation. But Busharis and Boyle are due in court next month.
Wolk says none of the students have been suspended from school, but as the state police investigation moves forward, so will the school's investigation. The judicial board will determine if the students will face disciplinary action.

Blue Dog Democrats
Dems–boot blue dogs, fold big tent
Ari Berman of "The Nation" does an op-ed for the New York Times in which he pushes for the removal (or at least the non-support) of the blue dog Democrats such as Heath Schuler of NC.
Now that doesn't come as much of a surprise to me – just as the Tea Party wants the less than conservative members of the Republican party replaced with more reliably fiscal conservative members.
That said, however, I loved the "reasoning" quoted for this desire:
Margaret Johnson, a former party chairwoman in Polk County, N.C., helped elect Representative Shuler but now believes the party would be better off without him. "I'd rather have a real Republican than a fake Democrat," she said. "A real Republican motivates us to work. A fake Democrat de-motivates us."
Well there you go – remember the left has been lambasting the right for who knows how long for not offering a "big tent" but essentially being a narrow based "all white male" party. Howard Dean and Rahm Emanuel concocted the 50 state strategy which recruited blue dogs like Schuler because they were "electable" in those districts and that strategy gave Democrats a "super majority". But what real good did it do?
The argument is "wouldn't you rather have someone that would vote with you 70% of the time rather than someone who will vote for your programs 0% of the time? The answer is "no". Not if you actually want to get those things done which require critical votes and the 30% of the time they don't vote with you is when those votes occur. Tea Partiers figured this out a while ago. And again, they've been lambasted for being so non-inclusive. Karl Rove, an inveterate seat counter, focuses solely on the number of "Republicans" in each chamber. Tea Partiers and conservatives focus on the ideology of those running and only support those who are, in Ms. Johnson's words, "real Republicans" as the TP and conservatives define them.
It appears Democrats, lately of the "big tent", are now looking toward a smaller tent. That would include the architect of the 50 state strategy, Howard Dean:
Ms. Johnson is right: Democrats would be in better shape, and would accomplish more, with a smaller and more ideologically cohesive caucus. It's a sentiment that even Mr. Dean now echoes. "Having a big, open-tent Democratic Party is great, but not at the cost of getting nothing done," he said.
Yeah … exactly what a number of us have been saying for years. Look, people throw the word "ideology" around like it is some sort of bad word. It's not. It is your political philosophy, your principles, your belief in what politics should reflect.
Does anyone believe those that founded this country weren't ideologically driven? That they didn't have a definite set of principles that were foundation of what they created?
"Big tent" is a wonderfully nebulous and useless concept that implies that inclusiveness is more important than principles. It's nonsense as both sides are discovering. You're either for something, in terms of principles, or you're not. "Including" others who don't necessarily share your principles is simply an exercise in, well, seat counting, which as both the GOP and Democrats have finally discovered, is a waste of time.

Business As Usual In Congress
The Congress described as the "most ethical and open Congress" in history by its Speaker is busy writing massive and costly health care legislation in secret. Even Democrats aren't happy about this process:
Forty-five House Democrats in the party's moderate-to-conservative wing have protested the secretive process by which party leaders in their chamber are developing legislation to remake the health care system.
The lawmakers, members of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition, said they were "increasingly troubled" by their exclusion from the bill-writing process.
They expressed their concerns in a letter delivered Monday to three House committee chairmen writing the bill, which House leaders hope to pass this summer.
Representative Mike Ross, an Arkansas Democrat who is chairman of the coalition's health task force, said: "We don't need a select group of members of Congress or staff members writing this legislation. We don't want a briefing on the bill after it's written. We want to help write it."
Of course the Blue Dogs are Democrats elected in mostly conservative districts and thus hold seats which have traditionally been Republican. Meanwhile the chairmen of the three committees in question all hold safe Democratic seats.
The committee chairmen writing the House bill are Representatives Henry A. Waxman and George Miller, both of California, and Charles B. Rangel of New York.
Asked about the letter, Karen Lightfoot, a spokeswoman for Mr. Waxman, said he had met with some members of the Blue Dog Coalition and welcomed their suggestions. When she was asked why, then, they were complaining, she said, "That's more of a question for the Blue Dogs than for us."
Very similar to the Obama outreach to Republicans on the budget and stimulus. He 'welcomed their suggestions', but they certainly had no chair at the table when the legislation was formulated.
Your future health care is being decided behind closed doors by the liberal wing of the Democratic party. Apparently input from the "center" and right are not welcome. I'm not surprised in the least, but I'm sure there are some out there that are.

The wife of Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) is comparing Republicans who are trying to force her husband out of the Missouri Senate race over his "legitimate rape" comment to British soldiers who raped the daughters and wives of American colonists in 1776.
In a recently published profile, Lulli Akin told the National Journal that Republican party bosses had tried to replace free and fair elections with a "tyranny, a top-down approach" by pressuring her husband to step aside after he said that women could not get pregnant through "legitimate rape."
"Party bosses dictating who is allowed to advance through the party and make all the decisions — it's just like 1776 in that way," she explained, recalling colonists who "rose up and said, 'Not in my home, you don't come and rape my daughters and my … wife.' But that is where we are again. There has been a freedom of elections, not tyranny of selections since way back. Why are we going to roll over and let them steamroll us, be it Democrats or Republicans or whomever?"
Lulli Akin added both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney "seem to be embodying" the traits of a British monarch "with all the tactics that they've been revealing" towards her husband.
Todd Akin said his wife's remarks were "a little more grandiose than the way I would say it," but there was "tremendous sense of uprising I feel among the people I talk to."
According to the latest Real Clear Politics average of polls, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is leading Akin by over 5 points.

Non-league: Ramsbottom making plans for play-offs (From Chorley Citizen)

Non-league: Ramsbottom making plans for play-offs
8:08am Friday 25th April 2014 in Chorley FC
RAMSBOTTOM United have put plans in place to start selling play-off semi final tickets on Sunday if they seal their place in the Evo-Stik First Division North's top five tomorrow.
Ramsbottom need only a point from their final game of the regular season to confirm a play-off place. They currently sit fifth in the table and their last match is at home to fourth-placed Bamber Bridge, who they could leapfrog in the table with victory.
Defeat, however, could allow Lancaster City to push them out of the play-off places.
If they finish fourth Ramsbottom would travel to Warrington Town in the play-off semi finals on Tuesday.
If they finish fifth they would make the trip to Darlington on Wednesday, in an all-ticket fixture on police advice.
Ramsbottom would put tickets on sale on Sunday at the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium.
Clitheroe, 16th in First Division North, have already finished their season and Padiham, 19th, end at Ossett Albion tomorrow.
In the North West Counties Premier Division, Bacup and Rossendale Borough go into their final game still in danger of relegation after a 1-1 draw at Colne on Wednesday. Adrian Bellamy's goal cancelled out Jason Hart's opener for the hosts.
Borough travel to Abbey Hey tomorrow and will stay up providing they match the result of either Alsager Town or Squires Gate.
Colne, ninth, finish their season at Runcorn Town and Barnoldswick Town, 16th, are at home to Runcorn Linnets after a 2-1 home loss to Ashton Athletic on Wednesday night. Matthew McNamara scored their goal.
First Division champions Nelson ended their season last night and AFC Darwen, 10th, host Ashton Town tomorrow.

Use this post as your Open Game Thread:
Fresh off their first loss in 10 games on Friday night to Detroit, the Heat will now regroup for their final two games of the regular season. Tonight they will play their 2nd to last road game when they face off against the New York Knickerbockers at Madison Square Garden. I think it's a pretty cool place to (almost) finish off their road games, especially when you consider the Heat will be playing their last regular season road game in Philly, then their next (up to) four road games in the relatively new buildings in Atlanta or Boston.
And yea...Miami has been winning a lot of their games over the past 6 weeks, but recently their defense has been having some lapses that has Coach Erik Spoelstra concerned. In their last two games the Heat have allowed Philly and Detroit to shoot 50.7% and 50.0% from the field respectively. With that in mind, Spo worked his players hard during Saturday's practice. Said Spo:
"The last four or five games we've been getting behind. It's been uneven with our effort. The second unit has been sparking us with energy, athleticism and toughness. Everybody that plays in the game should embody those three characteristics. That's what today was about, seeing how far those slippages have come and it culminated last night in a loss."
While the Knicks have been struggling throughout the season, they have won 4 of their last 5 at home. On the other hand, Miami still has one winning streak going; they have won six straight games away from the AAA. I'm also going to be looking for Jermaine O'Neal to have his biggest game since returning from injury 2 games ago.
- This is the 3rd and final meeting between the Heat and Knicks, with Miami winning the first two by an average of 14.0 points. This would be the 1st season sweep for the Heat since their championship season in 2005-06.
- In the two games, Dwyane Wade is averaging 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He is another guy who I expect to have a big night, considering the egg he laid in the 4th quarter against Detroit on Friday.
- For the Knicks, David Lee is averaging 20.5 points and 12.5 rebounds against the Heat this season.
- Miami needs to improve on their turnovers. They've given the ball away 28 times in their last two games.
- While the Knicks have had some success at home, they have lost 6 of 8 overall.
- For New York, center Eddie Curry (calf), forwards Wilson Chandler (groin), Al Harrington (shoulder) and Jonathan Bender (hand) are all out.
Tipoff from MSG is set for 6pm. Hopefully the Heat will break out of their little mini-slump in a big way against the Knicks. Let's go Heat!!

Fig. A: Crank supports with bearings installed, andsmaller "sandwich" blocks, ready to assemble.Fig. B: Side view of finished crank bearing assemblies.Bearings are made from metal patio door rollers.
Fig. C: Cylinder saddles mounted to front bearing
block and lined with adhesive tread. Fig. D: Cylinder
test-mounted in saddles with brass pipe strapping
work smoothly. If you don't have a drill press, monitor
your drilling angle, and after making a pilot hole,
slide the bit back in to make sure it's straight. If not,
correct it, using the next larger bit.
1. Cut the crankcase and base boards.
Cut 3 lengths of ¾"× 7¼" (referred to as 1× 8) Veranda
or Azek trim board: 25" for the base, 23" for the
forward crank support, and 11" for the rear crank
support. I attached 6 rubber feet to the underside
of the base, but you can also do this at the end.
2. Build the crank bearing assemblies.
For each crankcase bearing, we'll use three 1¼"
patio door roller bearings spaced evenly around the
crankshaft. (If it didn't violate "available at Home
Depot," I'd have simply used 2 sealed ball bearings.)
Mark a point on each support centered 7½" up
from the bottom, and use a compass or template to
draw a circle the width of your crankshaft pipe (mine
was q") around each point. Use a protractor to
mark 3 evenly trisecting lines around each point.
Using the roller bearings as guides, mark the
points where you can mount a bearing along each
line so they'll cradle the crankshaft on all sides.
Drill a ¼" hole ¼" deep at each point, then drill out
the center to 1" (slightly larger than the crankshaft).
To allow the top bearings some play, use the Dremel
router bit to extend each top hole up about 5",
making them oblong.
Cut two 3½"× 7¼" blocks of trim board; these will
hold the other sides of the bearing shafts. Mark and
drill the positions of 3 bearing mount holes and 1 big
center hole, just as you did with the supports. Mark,
drill, and countersink 4 more holes on each block,
½" in from each corner and large enough for 13"
drywall screws to drop through.
Time to assemble. Lay the bearing support blocks
flat, drilled side up. Sandwich each bearing in its
holes (Figure A) with the smaller blocks on top,
fitting ¼" nylon flat washers over the shafts on each
side. Mark the support blocks below each corner
hole, and drill pilots for drywall screws. Screw the
blocks together, threading 4 stacked ¾"×½"× 1"
nylon washers onto each, in between as spacers
(Figure B). The bearings should spin freely, and each
top bearing should have a little up/down play.
3. Make the cylinder saddles.

Officials in Gantt say they are working to restore services to customers after an early morning explosion resulted from a gas regulator malfunction.
South East Alabama Gas Company says the regulator has been repaired, and they are now working to restore services to the 63 customers affected. This will require the meters to be turned on manually.
Shannon Jackson with the SEAGC says, "Our biggest concern right now is restoring service to our customers. Expect to see representatives in the area, but do not be alarmed. If your service has been disrupted, and you see a representative, you may want to let them know."
The explosion occurred at the intersection of U.S. Hwy 29 North and Central street Point A road around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
Covington County's Chief Deputy says a precautionary evacuation of the immediate area was done, but no injuries were reported.

3.35/5 rDev -8.2%
11.2 ounce heavy brown glass bottle without obvious dating.
Pours clear copper and gold with very spare carbonation and 1/3 inch of thin off-white head. The foam recedes quickly, leaving medium-sticky lacing. Doesn't smell especially strong. Mostly a spicy blend of orange, pine, and grapefruit hop varieties with sweet malt backing. Up-front flavor is a bit lacking. Toasted biscuit malts and hard water initially, with a rather strong bitter hop finish. The beer feels medium-heavy in the mouth; clean, but limp and lifeless. I finished the glass without much enthusiasm.

This is the first Swedish beer I've tried; I picked it up at Spuyten Duyvil grocery in Williamsburg Brooklyn because I'm taking a trip to Stockholm later in April and wanted to know if I can find any good beers there.
Pours dark amber, fairly full for an oktoberfest. Lacing and minimal head retains throughout. I'm glad it's slightly darker than some traditional marzen beers.
The aroma might be the best part of this beer. It's bready and full of rich malt scents. There may be a touch of orange and spice in there too.
Taste is malty turning bitter toward the finish. There is a slight bit of chocolate in the middle- rounding out in the finish with some mildly bitter hops.
My girlfriend described this as a malt bomb- just to add her opinion here.
Overall this is an impressive beer that has exceeded my expectations for a Swedish beer because as I understand it there is little craft beer in Sweden.

So Kalasol means either Vienna or Marzen. Yay. I've had such good luck with Marzens. Wait a minute, this is a good beer. Pours clear copper with a firm white head. Crisp aroma of honey, oranges, corn, herbs, and rye bread. Light caramel malt with tart peppery Saaz hops and a mild cirtus taste blended together. Nothing overpowers, leaving a clean taste and finish.

Pretty nice, a bit sticky though, and a touch sweet. Some burnt malts in their, kind of spicy hoppy finish, but remains a bit sticky, due to the Vienna malts? Pretty nice, lots of flavour, with a medium body. Another solid brew from Nils Oscar.

I had never seen this brew before, so I decided to pick it up despite the $8.00 price tag it was carrying at a local bar. I had never had any beer from Sweden (I'm Finnish, so maybe it's a nationalistic grudge?) and decided to give this a shot.
Poured via the 11.2 oz. bottle into a pilsner glass and was immediately met with the smell of caramel and malt. Very nice!
The brew poured an amber/orange hue with a quarter inch cream head with very minimal lacing.
The overwhelming smell was that of hops and caramel. Toasted grain and a small bit of citrus make an appearance as the beer sits and loses its head.
The taste was spectacular; the initial caramel smell gives way to a caramel and even somewhat chocolately taste. For a märzen or Oktoberfestbier, I was surprised as how much it tasted like some sort of chocolate stout - much more than the aroma would lead one to believe. The hops give it a delicious aftertaste and the gentle citrus leaves it feeling excellent on the palate.
The beer is of average body and carbonation for one of this style. The mouthfeel was nothing exceptional, nor was it anything terrible.
I'll admit, I'm finding it hard to find the words to describe this beer. It's quite a drinkable beer and well above average tasting (I absolutely love the caramel flavor; one of the best I've tasted) but everything else about the beer - the smell and mouthfeel, notably - are so average that I'm not quite sure how to rate it. This beer is certainly worth trying if it's available, though despite the price tag (and this being the only place in the area that has it) I doubt I'll be drinking this more than once a session. I'm not too keen on Oktoberfestbier's, but this is more malty than I expected, which I loved about it. I'm giving this beer an excellent rating despite it's difficult-to-describe characteristics.

Nice lager, a little smoke and edge from (toasted) rye, nice smooth drinking, even creamish. Good white head on a shade of yellow. Neutral aroma. Satisfying though drying aftertaste.Good drinkability.Good balance as sweetness in there and moderate hops.
Just as good at Mondial 2009, with a bit of smoke in fragarance. Lots of lace.

Nils Oscar Kalasol is bottle conditioned and pours a hazy deep-copper body with orange highlights beneath a creamy head of yellowed off-white. Good head retention, although it should probably be a little bit better given the amount of malt present, and it leaves behind some pretty decent lacing as well.
The aroma is distinctly malty with a caramel edge and a hint of spiciness, backed by some leafy hops.
In the mouth it's medium bodied with a dextrinous side that leaves it creamy and smooth.
The flavor is as the aroma suggests, distinctly malty and caramelish with a little bit of spiciness, followed by some floral character, and then a smear of grassiness in the finish. A firm bitterness and the spiciness of the rye balance it and help to dry it in the end.
Overall it's a pretty solid fest beer. A little heavy perhaps, but only slightly. There are many more than are much bigger, and even more than that which are too thin. Nicely done.

On a recent euro trip I managed to take a quick opportunity in Malmo, Sweden to do a couple quick reviews early in the evening. This is my first Swedish beer.
A - clear deep amber, one finger tan head, decent retention and lacing
S - sweet molasses, nutty and roasty, light fruity syrup
T - nice sweet and nuttiness along with dark roasty malt, light syrupy fruit flavour with light woody accents
M - low carbonation, maybe even a little flat, smooth and slightly chewy
D - rich aroma and flavours, smooth but a little too flat for my taste

A 33 cL bottle from State Line.
A: The lagerbier is a deep orange color, a few hues brighter than the brown amber of a bottle. A sizeable head emerged on pour and left patches of lace to dry on the sides of the glass.
S: The nose is quite grainy, full of biscuity malt. A subtle sweetness from the malts points towards the oktoberfest style.
T: Grains abound in the taste, adding a biscuity vegetal taste, at times somewhat tart. The beer's bitterness is strong, much hoppier than any oktoberfest that I can think of. The hops define that last half of a sip, sending one away with a bitter taste that has grainy elements within it.
M: The mouthfeel is average to above-average, with the grainy front of the sip needing some assistance. I like the increased hop body though; it adds a burst of flavor.
D: The lager is a decent drink, well-balanced in the taste department (overall). The hoppiness is much stronger than one would expect.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper color with average foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with a dry hoppy finish. Taste is not the most complex but caramel malt are well done and the hops are clearly noticeable in the aftertaste. Full boy for the style with good carbonation. Well done and no distinguishable flaws but maybe lacking some character.

3.88/5 rDev +6.3%
A-Pours a rich amber, and forms considerable head that leaves decent lacing.
S-Lightly toasted malt and rye, very faint hops, nuts.
T-Closely matches up w/aroma. Taste is a smooth blend of toasted bread and malt. I'm picking up hints of rye again, although this could be something else. The hops come out on the finish, and a pleasant nuttiness is present throughout most of the drink.
M-This Oktoberfest is smooth, and the body is medium, pretty close to what I'd expect for the flavors.
D-Not a favorite of mine, but I still liked the rye hints and nuttiness. The hops were interesting as well. A decent brew.

3.73/5 rDev +2.2%
A: The beer is very hazy amber copper in color and has lots of visible particular matter floating in suspension. It poured with a very thin beige head that quickly dissipated, leaving lacing on the surface and a collar of large bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are aromas of fruits, caramel and toasted malts in the nose.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and is rather malty; the yeast particles are also evident in the flavors. A bit of bitterness and spiciness is noticeable.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate with a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very flavorful, easy to drink, and an interesting twist on the style.

A: Pours a translucent amber with some golden highlights, capped by a thin off-white head with poor retention.
S: Smells of sweet, dark bread up front, backed by brown sugar, dark fruits - cherries and figs preominantly - along with a nutty characteristic.
T: Sweet up front with bready malts, brown sugar and caramel, and more of the dark fruits from the nose. A somewhat smoky note comes in mid-palate and sticks around through the finish, being balanced on the aftertaste by some returning sweet, dark fruits.
M: Medium to full bodied with less carbonation than it should have, feels too heavy for the style.
D: Goes down fairly easy and is overall a solid beer. Interesting, but not one of the best marzens available.

I had this beer yesterday, with it being a local brewery I just had to try it out. The color is dark amber/copper because of the münchenermalt and the dark caramelmalt. There is not much of a head at all, it lasts for maybe 10 seconds. ;)
It smells roasted and a little almond. The taste was quite disappointing, it has sort of a metallic taste I don't like, that goes together with a burnt taste. It's quite bitter and the bitterness lasts on the palate for a while after a sip.
This beer is brewed out of the british fuggleshops, the american cascadehops and the czech saaz.

This beer is clear medium brown with ahint of red, an off-white head that leaves good lacing.
The smell is sweet, dried fruits, grains and some sour, also fruity, notes.
The taste has a brown sugar with dried dates and apples sweetness. Not much sourness, but some bitterness, like banana peel.
Medium carbonation, a medium body with a dry finish.
A good solid beer that is a little meal in it self (or maybe more a snack).

This brown, almost amber looking beer doesn't leave much head. Looks very inviting though.
Smells of wet grass, sweet malts, yeast and a hint of milk chocolate.
The grass is still there in the taste, along with some lemon peel. Sweet caramel malts and syrup comes next. Unfortunatly I get a hint of alcohol aswell...
The mouthfeeling is dry and refreshing. Quite low carbonation in this smooth beer.
It's nothing wrong with this beer, but nothing special either. Either way, I could drink this all day. A well balanced beer.

Pours a five finger light tan head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Crystal clear amber color. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Hoppy nose. Flavor is mostly hoppy with malt and occasional sweetness, smooth. Slight lingering bitter aftertaste. $4.99 for a 330ml bottle from John's Marketplace Portland, OR.

Enjoyed this 12oz bottle out of a large snifter glass.
A: Pours a cloudy brown hue with a thin white lace that quickly dissipates into a small lace. Speckled yeast on the bottom of the glass.
S: Caramel and toasted malt aromas with bread notes.
T: Similar to the smell caramel and toasted malts cross the palate. Slightly sweet from Munich malts and finishes on the dry side.
M: Full body and medium carbonation.
O: Decent brew – nothing extremely special but worth a try.

Served in a Walter Payton shaker pint glass.
I hope that one day my mustache looks that mighty... Anyway, this stuff pours a mostly clear amber-russet topped by some minor bits of glowing off-white foam. The nose comprises dusty biscuit, light cardboard, and a bit of mild grass. Come on, is everything from Sweden friggin' old? Impossible to tell, really, as there's no information to be gleaned from the package itself. Awesome. We'll let the tongue decide. The taste brings in more of the same, along with some earthy, tobacco-y greens and some stronger grass. See, now I'm not entirely sure that it's an old bottle, as the hops are definitely brighter here (for what they are), and things do resemble an O-Fest kind o' character...just a crappy one... The body is a lithe medium, with a light moderate carbonation and an oily feel. Overall, I just plain did not enjoy this beer, for whatever reason (age, sad taste, insert-your-own-reason-here).

Singled Out: "I Came Up W/ 'Classy Girl' Because It's A Term Girls Use But Don't Really Follow Through W/ It"
Tuesday, Feb 28, 2012 12:05AM
[SOHH highlights a hot single each week and offers a unique look at the record. After Bad Boy artist Los explained his DMX-assisted "Make You Proud" last week, "Love & Hip Hop" star Somaya Reece breaks down her new "Classy Girl" music video.]
"Classy Girl" was really made to be a visual, fashionable concept versus specifically trying to get it played on the radio.
I wanted to show people the chameleon I am. For the people that know me from my TV and movie roles, I wanted them to see how much I've grown as far as musically, artistically. I wanted people to see the way I put my music together and I also wanted to show people what a chamelon was.
People are so used to seeing me be over-the-top that in the video, I really toned it down. It was just enough. I had a close-up scene with the curly hair and very minimal makeup. You can really see my eye lashes on there.
I don't think people are used to seeing me like this because they're used to 'Love & Hip Hop' and how I look on there. It's a little over-the-top, which I like, I like those things, but I wanted to make this more of a very visual, fashion piece.
So it's very conceptual. It's something that you can watch and appreciate it. I really wanted people to see it as a visual art piece. I came up with the "Classy Girl" title because it's a term that girls use but don't really follow through with it. I thought it was a really cute name and it doesn't have a hook. It kind of has a repeating thing going on but it's not really a hook.
This song is very European rap. It's music that I like. So I really wanted to make it a concept piece. You can tell that there's something different in this video compared to everything else I've done.
Somaya Reece is a rapper, radio personality and actress who has origins from the West Coast. In addition to making music, she has taken her talent to the big screen as seen in the new Go For It! film and to the silver screen as one of the main cast members of VH1 reality series "Love & Hip-Hop." While known as a West Coast artist, Reece moved to the New York City region in the late 2000's to continue her career in the music industry.
Check out "Classy Girl" below:


text: Boeheim's been starting Baye for the past two games, who's definitely an improvement over Fab, but not by that much. C.J. Fair has been playing better than both of them pretty much all season, maybe they should just go small and start him instead? And what about when Melo finally comes back (if he does at all)? Should he be starting, or even playing at all at this point? What do you guys think?

An East Texas family managed to escape a fire burned that burned their mobile home to the ground Friday morning, north of Tyler.
The fire broke out sometime after midnight in a trailer home in the 5400 block of FM 14, according to the renter, Patricia Carey.
Three adults and three children, ages 3,5, and 3 month old, were sleeping when one of the women smelled smoke coming from a back bedroom and ran outside.
It appears the home is a total loss, leaving nothing more than a pile of debris. No injuries were reported.
"I'm not worried about the house," Carey said. "I can replace a home, but I can't replace a life. I just thank God we're all safe."
Dixie, Lindale, Tyler and Red Springs fire departments all responded.
Carey said they will be staying with other family members until they can find a new place to live.

OAKLAND — The Warriors might not want Chris Mullin as their executive vice president past this season, but they're all for keeping Don Nelson around.
Nelson confirmed Saturday that he and the team are close to a two-year extension that would keep him on the Warriors' bench through the 2010-11 season.
A source close to the team said the sides are talking about a total of approximately $12 million in compensation; Nelson said his annual salary would drop slightly from its current $5.1 million, but that he would get "a little raise" when deferred monies, set to kick in after 2011, are factored in.

Zionsville — Police believe a convenience store surveillance video may be the break they need to solve the theft of Colts memorabilia, including a Super Bowl ring valued between $10,000 and $12,000, from a rural Boone County home.
The ring was one of dozens of items of Colts-related items taken from the home of Troy Glendenning on April 18 and April 20, said Boone County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Pell. Glendenning has been employed by the Colts for 20 years, Pell said.
The thieves apparently were motivated to return because they saw so much material in the first break-in, Pell speculated.
Also taken were autographed game footballs, photos and Peyton Manning memorabilia, Pell said.
Autographed Manning jerseys are offered on eBay for $300 to $960 or more, depending on condition, whether there is a "certificate of authenticity," or if other items are included. Imitation Super Bowl rings sell for $34.95 to $400, depending on the quality of the material.
The value of the items is incalculable, however, since Glendenning would never have sold them, Pell said.
The thieves also took thousands of comic books from the 1950s and 1960s.
See Wednesday's Times Sentinel for the full story.

Two 18-year-old men were arrested on drug and alcohol charges and property theft charges, after an officer in an unmarked vehicle saw a passenger in the moving vehicle smoke a substance out of a glass pipe.
Police arrested Tyler S. Oliveira and Jordan S. Allen after stopping the vehicle on Atlantic Road Saturday about 2:27 p.m.
Oliveira, who was driving the vehicle, was charged with driving while under the influence of marijuana, driving without being licensed, and transporting liquor while under legal drinking age, according to police. Police said Allen, one of three passengers in the vehicle, was charged with possession of more than an ounce of marijuana, possession with intent to distribute marijuana and being in possession of alcohol while younger than legal drinking age.
According to police, an officer said that, as he approached the vehicle on foot, he saw Allen in the rear seat moving his arms and hands quickly and "attempting to push down and hide a backpack under his legs on the rear floor." Police asked Oliveira to roll down the driver's window, but it was duct taped and broken, so Oliveira opened the door.
"As soon as the drivers door opened, a large thick cloud of marijuana smoke poured out of the entire passenger compartment," Detective Steven Mizzoni wrote in the report.
Police said that, when officers when searched the backpack Allen had attempted to hide, they found over a quarter pound of "high quality" marijuana packed in two Mason jars. They also found small plastic sandwich baggies, an electronic scale with marijuana residue, and two marijuana grinding tools.
Police also found two more backpacks in the vehicle, which none of the passengers would claim. One contained a half empty 1.75 liter bottle of vodka, several more plastic sandwich bags with marijuana and a container of Miracle Grow plant food, police said. The third backpack held what police described as an assortment of electronic equipment, including iPods, cellular phones, global positioning system devices, binoculars and "expensive" sunglasses, all of which police believe were good stolen from vehicles in a recent rash of car breaks.

Beginning August 17, the Biomedical Library display cases are featuring some amazing microphotographs from Thomas Deerinck and others at the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research (NCMIR). NCMIR uses state of the art microscopes, imaging equipment and image processing techniques to help biomedical researchers understand biological structure and function relationships in cells and tissues in the dimensional range between 5 nm and 50 µm. Deerinck and his colleagues combine these cutting-edge imaging resources with a keen aesthetic sense to produce visually arresting images documenting important events in the microscopic world.
There are six images on display in the Library's display cases, and we are fortunate to have several other images from this group in our Computer Classroom and our Media Room.

An 8-year-old Georgia girl was left traumatized last week after her tongue got stuck in a water bottle she was drinking from. It took doctors more than eight hours and emergency surgery to remove it. Now, her mother is warning other parents to be very careful so the same thing doesn't happen to their child. Shantay Small tells FOX 5 she bought the same water bottle for all three of her kids, and they all use it all the time. But last week, her 8-year-old daughter Jayla got her tongue stuck in her bottle, and she couldn't get it off. Jayla was at cheerleading practice on September 13 when it happened, and her mother says the coaches tried to help her get it off, and when they couldn't, they called 911. But even paramedics couldn't free her tongue from the bottle, so she was rushed to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.Once she got there, Small said doctors were left baffled. They tried to work on her, punching holes in the can and even calling in maintenance to cut the bottom of the bottle off. But by that time, her tongue had become very swollen inside the container, and the bottle had drifted so far back in her mouth that it was almost at her wisdom teeth. She was let gagging. That's when they took her into surgery. With Jayla under anesthesia, it took doctors about an hour in the operating room to free her tongue from the bottle. Now, Jayla is on antibiotics and has to use antiseptic mouthwash and sprays to help with the swelling. Her mom says doctors have told them she will likely need speech therapy because of possible nerve damage she may have suffered. The entire incident has been very traumatizing for Jayla. She can't drink from a straw, and her food has to be pureed. She says she'll avoid these kinds of bottles, at least for the time being. Meanwhile, Jayla's mom has a warning for parents everywhere who might have bought the same bottles for their kids."I would tell parents if they have them, discard them," Small said. "Don't let your young children drink from them if they don't know how to use them."Small says the water bottle was metal with a small opening, but the specific brand of the bottle is not know.
