UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Guillermo Ernesto BAZUA-AVILES and Jesus Maria
Bonillas-Santamaria, Defendants-Appellants.
Nos. 90-10141, 90-10169.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted Jan. 18, 1991.
Decided Feb. 28, 1991.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona; CR-88-0226-ACM, Alfredo C. Marquez, District Judge, Presiding.
Before SCHROEDER, PREGERSON and THOMAS G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.
Appellants Guillermo Bazua-Aviles and Jesus Bonillas-Santamaria were convicted of various drug trafficking and weapons possession counts. Each was sentenced to 20 years in prison. In this consolidated appeal, Bazua and Bonillas challenge their convictions. We affirm.
DEA agents received tips from two separate informants that a residence in Tucson was being used as a "stash house" to process and distribute marijuana. Agents began surveillance of the residence in May 1988 and observed what they considered to be suspicious behavior. Approximately two months later, another tip stated that a drug deal was imminent and that individuals had just entered the suspected stash house carrying a paper bag. DEA surveillance was reestablished. Agents saw one individual leave the house carrying a paper bag, place the bag in a vehicle, and then reenter the house. Shortly after, Bazua and Bonillas left the house, entered the vehicle and drove off.
DEA agents radioed ahead to border patrol agents, telling them to stop and search the vehicle. When the border patrol agents signaled the vehicle to stop, the driver, Bazua, began speaking on a mobile telephone before pulling over. Agents also testified that they saw Bonillas lean forward as they approached the vehicle. A pat-down search revealed a loaded .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol concealed in Bazua's waistband. Agents then searched the car and found a semi-automatic pistol under the seat on Bonillas' side and a paper bag containing a small amount of marijuana in the console of the vehicle.
Shortly after the appellants' arrest, DEA agents entered and secured the suspected stash house. A search warrant was then obtained and executed. Agents found over 1,000 pounds of marijuana, processing equipment, and numerous weapons and ammunition, including a loaded automatic rifle, inside the house.
Bazua and Bonillas were each convicted by a jury of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute; conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute; and two counts of using and carrying firearms during the commission of a drug trafficking offense. Each was sentenced to 20 years in prison under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
Appellants' primary contention is that the district court erred in declining to suppress the evidence obtained from the stop of Bazua's vehicle. We hold that probable cause existed to stop and search the vehicle and we therefore affirm.
In order to stop and search a moving vehicle, law enforcement officers must have probable cause to believe that the vehicle contains contraband or other evidence of illegal activity. Chambers v. Maroney, 399 U.S. 42 (1969). Probable cause arises "when police officers have facts and circumstances within their knowledge sufficient to warrant a reasonable belief that the suspect had committed or was committing a crime." United States v. Fouche, 776 F.2d 1398, 1403 (9th Cir.1985). To determine that probable cause exists, the reviewing court must conclude that criminal activity is "probably shown" by the relevant facts and circumstances. United States v. Traylor, 656 F.2d 1326, 1330 (9th Cir.1981). Less stringent requirements are applied to vehicle searches than to searches of houses or offices, because automobiles involve a lesser expectation of privacy. See, e.g., California v. Carney, 471 U.S. 386, 390-92 (1985).
Here, the totality of the circumstances created probable cause to justify the stop and search of Bazua's vehicle. First, agents had received two separate tips describing the residence from which the vehicle left as a stash house. One tip came from an informant who had actually been inside the residence and who thus had firsthand knowledge; the second tip came from a citizen informant who personally met with police. These tips were sufficiently reliable to contribute to a finding of probable cause, particularly since they were corroborated by each other and by subsequent police investigation. See Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213, 233-34, 243-44 (1983). In addition, agents observed the behavior of those associated with the house and concluded that it fit the pattern of activity associated with drug trafficking. Numerous individuals were seen entering and leaving the house; the windows of the house were sealed shut with opaque material unlike normal curtains; vehicles leaving the house engaged in evasive driving. We have held that such behavior fits the pattern of activity of certain drug traffickers and is properly considered in assessing probable cause. See, e.g., United States v. Del Vizo, 918 F.2d 821, 826-27 (9th Cir.1990); United States v. Espinosa, 827 F.2d 604, 610 (9th Cir.1987), cert. denied, 485 U.S. 968 (1988). Finally, appellants' unusual behavior before driving away, such as Bonillas' blessing himself before entering the car, supported the reasonable inference that the appellants were about to consummate a drug sale.
Because the record contains probable cause to believe that Bazua's vehicle contained contraband and that the appellants were about to engage in a drug transaction, the stop and search of the vehicle was constitutionally permissible. Accordingly, the district court did not err in denying appellants' motion to suppress the evidence found as a result of the stop.
In a related argument, appellants contend that the district court erred in refusing to suppress evidence found at the stash house. We reject this contention as well. The circumstances we have described above, in conjunction with the weapons and marijuana found in Bazua's vehicle, created probable cause to search the suspected stash house. U.S. v. Tate, 795 F.2d 1487, 1491 n. 6 (9th Cir.1986) (anonymous tip, corroborated by police observations and location of residence created probable cause). Nor did the district court err in concluding that exigent circumstances justified the warrantless entry and securing of the stash house. It was reasonable for officers to believe that Bazua had warned the occupants of the house that the drug deal had gone awry and that therefore evidence in the house would be removed or destroyed shortly, that other suspects would flee, or that agents might be met with a violent response. United States v. Hicks, 752 F.2d 379, 384 (9th Cir.1985); United States v. Robertson, 606 F.2d 853, 859 (9th Cir.1979).
Appellants also contend that the district court erred in refusing to grant their motions of acquittal on firearms charges. Count 4 of the indictment charged Bonillas with possession of the pistol found beneath the passenger seat of the vehicle; Count 5 charged Bazua and Bonillas with possession of an automatic rifle found in the stash house. Appellants claim that there was insufficient evidence to establish that they in fact possessed or used those firearms. We disagree.
In evaluating the appropriateness of the denial of a motion for acquittal, we consider whether any rational trier of fact could have found the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, viewing the matter in the light most favorable to the prosecution. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 318-19 (1979).
Here, there was sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that Bonillas possessed the pistol. The pistol was found beneath the car seat where Bonillas was riding; when agents signaled the car to pull over, they saw Bonillas lean forward. In addition, a co-defendant testified that he had seen Bonillas in possession of "a small black gun" similar in appearance to the pistol found in the car. The jury could also reasonably infer that the pistol was to be used to facilitate the drug deal; the pistol was within easy reach of Bonillas as the vehicle drove away. United States v. Mason, 658 F.2d 1263, 1270-71 (9th Cir.1981) (holstered weapon on car seat, pistol on floor were used to facilitate bank robbery even though never displayed or brandished).
The record also contains sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that the appellants possessed the automatic rifle found at the stash house. We have held that a conviction for possession of a weapon during the commission of a drug offense under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c)(1) may be pursued under a conspiracy theory. United States v. Johnson, 886 F.2d 1120, 1123 (9th Cir.1989), cert. denied, 110 S.Ct. 1830 (1990). In Johnson, the defendant was convicted of conspiracy after a crack house was raided. No direct evidence was presented showing that Johnson possessed weapons found at the crack house, or that she even knew of the weapons' existence. However, the court held that she could be convicted of firearms possession under the Pinkerton rule. 886 F.2d at 1123; see Pinkerton v. United States, 328 U.S. 640 (1946).
Here, the appellants were convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana. The automatic rifle was found at the stash house which was the center of the conspiracy and over which both defendants had control. Appellants were properly convicted of possessing the rifle under a Pinkerton theory as a crime committed during the conspiracy. We affirm their convictions under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(c)(1).
The remainder of the appellants' contentions are without merit. We affirm the appellants' convictions on all grounds.

Miami Hurricanes senior quarterback Stephen Morris left Saturday's game vs Savanna State in the first-quarter with what looked like a serious right ankle injury, but after the game, it was revealed to be just a sprain.
Head coach Al Golden said today Morris should be full-go for Saturday for a noon game in Tampa against the struggling South Florida Bulls:
"It's not really even a sprain," Golden said. "It's a bone bruise."
Morris was 3/4 for 82 yards including an 80-yard touchdown pass to Allen Hurns before exiting. Backup Ryan Williams relieved him and completed nine of his first 10 passes for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
Morris entered the 2013 college football season as one of the top QBs in the nation, as well as a potential first-round NFL Draft pick. This, after throwing for career-best 3,345 yards and 21 touchdowns, while completing 58.2 percent of passes (245/421) last season.
He'll also be remembered as one of the central figures in helping navigate the Hurricanes out of NCAA sanctions while keeping them respectable in college football. The Canes are 3-0 and already have a signature win over the Florida Gators, and as long as Morris is at the helm, the Canes will only continue to trend upwards as the season progresses.

This week we have the pleasure of swapping Q&A's with the excellent BYU site VanquishTheFoe. Former BYU linebacker Markell Staffieri dishes the info on the Cougars.
1. Many Nole fans consider Saturday's forecast high in the low 90's as a disadvantage for the Cougars from Utah. Is the climate difference overblown, and how has BYU handled similar games in the recent past? Traveling 2 hours east is also a possible factor, correct?
Having played at BYU and traveled to different climates I will tell you that it is an issue. On one hand the BYU guys will feel a little more fresh due to the moisture in the air and being able to come down to sea level. However, it is not as nice as traveling to San Diego State, where there is humidity but it is relatively low. Out in Florida the humidity will be high and so the players will have to stay hydrated. They are used to hot, though. In Utah it gets into the high 90s throughout summer, but for many of the players this will be their first exposure to humid hot. Advantage FSU.
2. After starting every game as a freshman in 2007, defensive lineman Eathyn Manumaleuna returns to the Cougars and the starting lineup after serving two years in the Oklahoma Oklahoma City Mission for the LDS Church. Best known for preserving a 17-16 win over UCLA in the 2007 Las Vegas Bowl by blocking a last-second Bruin field goal, Manumaleuna totaled 25 tackles and one sack during his first season. Coincidentally, Manumalenua thwarted a potential fourthdown conversion late against Washington by batting down quarter Jake Locker's pass at the line of scrimmage. He is now playing end in the Cougars' 3-4 scheme. How much has the return of Eathyn Manumaleuna meant to the defense?
Eathyn's return has been tremendous, especially with the lack of experience at linebacker. I was able to play LB behind Eathyn his freshman year and he makes a big difference. He is someone that the OL will need to double team at times, and that means there will be an unblocked player who is free to the ball. He has worked very hard in the offseason to become bigger and yet more agile, so we expect big things from him this year.
3. Quarterback time. Heaps or Nelson? Coach Mendenhall said Nelson would get the nod but that both would play. If you're coaching, who do you play and why?
If I am coaching I play Nelson at this point in the season and especially against a talented defense like FSU. It's no secret that when a freshman QB is in the game defensive coordinators love to bring the house and put mental and physical pressure on the young gun. It has been hinted to that Heaps was pulled from the Air Force game because he may have been getting a little flustered. If that is true, I really worry about what a faster, more complex defense like FSU will do when he is in. With Nelson, although he is young too, they will probably not bring as much pressure, because he is somewhat battle tested and will use his feet to escape pressure. No doubt you will see both, as we need Heaps arm to stretch the field.
4. With two rather average offensive performances so far, what are the issues facing this offense?
Experience and I sense a lack of leadership. We had to replace the all-time winningest QB, all-time leading rusher, and all-time TE duo at BYU, and we are doing it with lack of experience on defense as well. We had a similar situation in the transition from 2006 to 2007 but our defense was entirely veteran and coming off a year where they were ranked in the top 5 nationally. That takes a lot of pressure of the offense and allows them come along slowly. This year everyone is thrown into the fire and I think it is adding more stress to players and coaches and the sense of urgency is heightened. When you play uptight, sometimes you just forget how to be an athlete.
Another key is that the offense is lacking an identity and I think that comes from the 2 QB system because they are so different and yet they are splitting time 50/50. Right now our offense needs some aspect/play that is consistent that they can hang their hat on. They need that go to play when it is 3rd and 3 and the game is on the line. And they just don't have it yet.
5. What is the health of this team like right now? I saw that Ogletree might be out with an injury. Anyone else questionable?
From what I am hearing everyone is healthy and ready to go. Fullback Zed Mendenhall was out with a concussion, but should be back for this game.
Thanks so much to Markell and the crew at VTF. Please make sure to visit them to see our answers to their questions.

To get your pet moving right away, please submit a Pet Travel Form
I want to thank everyone involved in the transportation of my dog Hoover. The pickup was right on time. Excellent arrangements were made. I received regular updates during his trip. I will definitely use Happy Trails Travel again. Thanks you so much for making it a wonderful experience for me and for Hoover.
I rated Happy Tails 5 paws out of 5 paws!

Buffalo, NY to Wichita, KS
Thank you very much for your assistance with Bo's travel arrangements from Ohio to England! Initially we were both hesitant on sending Bo overseas considering he had a slight case of separation anxiety, but talking with you gave us the reassurance we needed.
Being that Bo was also staying with my parents temporarily, you still kept both parties informed and guided us through all the appropriate steps needed. There were so many questions and concerns we had regarding his travel, and Happy Tails promptly and thoroughly answered every one of them. We definitely could not have imagined or even thought of attempting this ourselves. With your help, Bo arrived safely and in high spirits. He is settling very well in his new home and even enjoys the snow. Once again, thank you for the safe arrival of our "black ninja". We will definitely recommend Happy Tails to anyone needing pet transport."

I wanted you all to know that Patty and Babatunde were safely delivered last night. Both of our pets' were very happy to see us and have quickly adapted to their new environment.
Thank you very much for helping us with this important and stressful part of our move. I can't imagine how it would have been if we had tried to handle this ourselves.

Here are some photos of our Ellie (female dog) and Hapa (male cat) after their very long trip from Maui to Maine. They are enjoying their Happy Tails cowboy bandanas.
You did a fantastic job getting them to us in very good condition. They were no worse for the wear and as happy as ever to see us. They settled into our their new home like they had been here all along! We are so grateful for your service!
Our best to you,
Michael and Leanne Caires
Makawao, HI to Portland ME
I just wanted to take some time to thank you for taking such good care of Mya and bringing her safely home to me. She had quite the traumatic experience before leaving Virginia in April of 2013, so I really can't say thank you enough for the amazing work that Happy Tails Travel does for pets all over the country. After Mya saved my life during an unfortunate domestic violence incident, I was devastated when I arrived at the airport only to find out that the airlines would not allow her to travel with me on such short notice. I had no other choice but to leave Virginia as soon as possible, and unfortunately that meant I had to leave Mya behind. I was heartbroken and completely devastated because as the saying goes Mya really was my best friend and life-saver! I was so excited when I found the Happy Tails Travel website and I was immediately relieved in finding comfort that I would be able to get Mya home safely. We arranged her travel within 24 hours thru Happy Tails Travel, and she was home with me after 3 days. She was well taken care of and is as happy as could be today! Since her home-coming Mya has enjoyed being in the desert, but also spending time at Clear Creek in Winslow, AZ, as she absolutely loves to swim. I don't know what I would have done without Happy Tails Travel, because Mya is such an important part of my life. She recently has gotten a puppy brother and takes such good care of him as well. Our family would be incomplete without Mya so again thank you for keeping her safe and returning her home to me. Mya is thankful and also would like to say "ruff ruff ruff" which means- "I love Happy Tails". Thanks again; we very much appreciate all of your hard work!

I have finally settled her in and she is resting. They took such good care of her the whole way. Thank you for all your help and reassurance. She was so excited but I know she is also exhausted even though she may not realize it! I will be sure to leave a stellar review of your services!
My fiance has been at work all day so he will get a wonderful surprise when he gets home!
Once again, thank you for all you have done! We will be sure to use happy tails again when the time comes!

Rambo made it all the way to Germany and to the house.
Here he is right next to the fire place in this photo I just took of him. He recognized us right away and almost jumped off the handlers arms, as he was so excited to see us.
I gave him a treat and slept all the way home which was an hour and a half. Thanks for your help in all of the whole process. The Family is back together again!

My family and I would like to sincerely thank you and Happy Tails Travel for your expertise in relocating our dog, Hal, to Dubai.
Considering the challenges of moving a dog to this part of the world, we are very relieved and grateful that our pet arrived safe and well as planned.
We appreciate your service, care and genuine concern for our dog's welfare. It was reassuring that you maintained constant contact with us, airline staff and all involved with this move and made you well worth the fee and highly recommended by this family!

Dear Glazer family,
If I were Mark Dominik here is my plan to get us back to the playoffS ASAP
I say we take Eric Berry with our 3rd draft pick. Trade our second and a player to be named for Brandon Marshall and take Terrance Cody with our other second round pick. I think this gives major improvements on both sides of the ball. Giving us almost surefire talent that we dont have to worry about developing except for Terrance Cody possibly. Use the rest of the draft picks on depth especially at corner and wide reciever.
I understand there may be concerns about Terrance Cody but he is to big not to be effective when paired with Roy Miller. We might have just found the four man pass rush we have been looking for. We get the #1 receiver that J-Free desperately needs and we get the mega playmaker Eric Berry to sure up our defense.
This way we can put Ronde at the opposite corner spot (i know your wondering how much longer he can do this)
Put Eric Berry at the other safety spot with Tenard Jackson.
Move Elbert Mack to the nickel. Where he seems most suited if you ask me.
Put Chris Hovan on the bench as part of a semi rotation.
And whallaaaa...... the defense is fixed.
Give the offense a shot at continuity with Greg Olsen at the offensive coordinator, give the offensive line 1 scheme to learn, and some true talent on the outside with Sammie Stroughter pulling up the rear as he continues to learn.
And I think my idea just put us back in the Playoffs.
Now all you have to do is pay me half of what you are paying Mark Dominik and we can call it even after we get to the Superbowl.
This isnt to serious just an idea to get us the best collection of talent for next years squad.
I know Im gonna hear about B.Marshalls attitude problem Terrance Cody of Alabamas weight. But its just a shot in the dark.
Let me know what you guys think

The Upswing of ADHD
Submitted by Jonathan Weedman on Fri, 11/11/2011 - 11:47am

The Gifts of ADHD
A parent recently came to talk to me about how she has moved through a wonderful journey of worrying about her child who has ADHD to feeling that in many ways it is a blessing. It is my belief that parents go through a series of steps when they learn their child may have Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). In the beginning, parents may feel a sense of denial or panic. Some parents may feel alone or become amazing information seekers. Either way there is often an initial struggle while coming to terms with what the diagnosis means.
Once the initial shock is over, I often see parents enter another step where they are working to perfect the systems for
managing ADHD. They become excellent planners, problem solvers, educators, and in some cases excellent medication managers. In this stage, parents often learn how to manage the diagnosis. They cope with the struggles and figure out how to make the most of out of each and every day. They quickly become knowledgeable about what works or doesn't work for their child.
The final stage of accepting this diagnosis is an understanding that although there maybe struggles and frustrations, there are actually many bright spots about the diagnosis. People with ADHD tend to exhibit great creativity, enthusiasm, innovation, and empathy. Although sometimes a frustration, the hyper-focus aspect of the disorder can prove to be a great strength as well. I have seen amazing things created out of this hyper-focus. One only needs to see an elaborate city made of Legos to know this to be true. When a parent can see the wonderful benefits that come with this diagnosis they can truly accept their child for who they are. Reaching a point where you see this diagnosis as a gift is an empowering step to make. We all have our parts to play in the world and we all have gifts to share as well.

As we head down a crucial stretch of games, I thought it would be a good idea to power rank the players on the UVA basketball squad. Comments and suggestions are welcomed! Here goes nothing...
1. Joe Harris
Joey Hoops is the single most important player for the Cavalier basketball program. He is the most underrated player in the ACC this year and is the heart and soul of this UVA squad. He is averaging 15.9 points per game, including a recent 26-point outburst against the hated Hokies. If Harris can continue to make big shots with regularity, then UVA will pull off an upset or two against Miami or Duke and waltz into the NCAA tournament.
2. Jontel Evans
The senior leadership, ball-handling skills, and defensive tenacity Evans brings to the court are unmatched on this team. While he may not contribute much to the stat sheet, Evans is a reliable performer who is very difficult to replace on the court. His leadership and defense are way more than any stat sheet can measure, and for that he checks in at #2 on this list.
With Mike Tobey now out indefinitely with mono, the post presence provided by Akil Mitchell is even more important to the success of the team. He has developed since very nice post moves (most notably his spin move) and a somewhat reliable mid-range jumpshot. He is also a much improved rebounder.
Anderson is really coming into his own lately (ex: Maryland game) and that is great news for Tony Bennett and the Cavs. His athleticism creates mismatches all over the court. While his 3-point shooting could use some work, his passing, defense, and energy are all infectious when he's on the court. My only concern about his game is the fact that he settles for too many jump shots instead of driving to the hoop, where he can either kick it out for an open shot or finish and draw the foul.
I consider Jesperson to be the "glue guy" for this team. He never really stands out, but he makes a ton of hustle plays that don't show up on the stat sheet. He is a dangerous shooter, a good rebounder, and a terrific on-ball defender.
6. Mike Tobey
Before the got mono, he was on fire. He was making most of his shots from short-medium range and he was getting a lot of tough rebounds. Hopefully he can return before the ACC tournament, because his contributions were unexpected but very welcomed. Tobey has great touch around the rim and provides another big body for the Cavs to put in the low post.
Atkins is currently playing with a leg injury, demonstrating his toughness. Before the injury, he was the Hoos' best shot blocker and a bouncy rebounder. He is a bit raw offensively, but there's always the exciting possibility of a highlight reel play when he's on the court.
8. Evan Nolte
Nolte has cooled down a bit from the bonusphere, but he's still one of the best shooters on this team and a big body that will cause problems for defenses in the future. He's a good rebounder, and while his defense could use a little work, he doesn't really hurt the team there either. His specialty is definitely 3-point shooting, but he also takes the occasional charge and is a solid overall player.
9. Teven Jones
Jones provides more offensively than Jontel Evans does, but he's still learning the nuances of the Pack Line defense. He's very athletic, which helps, but he still makes some mental mistakes and the occasional dumb foul. His potential is through the roof though, especially if he can learn to take care of the basketball and if he can convert on a higher percentage of his shots.
10. Taylor Barnette
Barnette is purely a shooter right now, as his athleticism isn't quite at the level of the other guards on the roster. He can make a few 3's, but he's not counted on to contribute every game. His ball-handling is average, and his defense needs some work, but he's a solid player off the bench.
11. Doug Browman
He is the epitome of a hard-worker, as he walked on and has now earned himself a scholarship for his senior year. He isn't a good shooter, but he makes good decisions with the ball and doesn't turn it over. He has the respect of his teammates and coaching staff, and he's an intelligent player.
12. Thomas Rogers
He only comes in for the garbage minutes, but he gets a loud ovation from the fans whenever he touches the ball. that has to count for something, right?!
13. Caid Kirven
See above.
14. Justin Miller
I don't think he's played a minute, but we'll continue to monitor his progress and see if he gets into a game. He's possibly a redshirt player.
** Malcolm Brogdon and Anthony Gill are not included on this list. Brogdon has taken a redshirt year to recover from a nagging foot injury that required extensive surgery, and Gill is sitting out due to the NCAA transfer rules. Both are exciting pieces for next year's squad with a lot of potential. Gill and Mitchell will form a lethal combination in the post while Brogdon offers another shooter who can handle the ball as well. Both are also known as smart players with good defensive ability.

King's Academy football coach Craig Dobson takes medical leave for remainder of the season
By Jeff Greer
King's Academy announced Monday head football coach Craig Dobson has stepped down for health reasons.
Reached by phone Monday night, Dobson, 51, said doctors told him he required immediate surgery to repair valve damage in his heart and could not postpone the operation until after the season. Reached by phone, Dobson said doctors told him he'd feel "a lot better" once he has the operation.
"Coach Dobson is an outstanding coach, mentor and friend," King's Academy Athletic Director Adam Winters wrote in a school release. "Our thoughts, support and prayers are with Craig and (his wife) Jennilee at this time."
Dobson said King's Academy was open to him returning as head coach once doctors clear him, though he didn't have a timetable for post-surgery recovery. Defensive coordinator John James will coach the team, which is 4-3 and still in the playoff hunt, on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
"It's killing me, but it wasn't my choice," Dobson said. "At this time, I do plan on coming back to coaching when I get the OK. I want to coach football."
Dobson has coached King's Academy for six seasons, posting a 44-17 record and making four playoff appearances in that span. He coached rival Glades Day for six seasons before that, leading the Gators to two state semifinal berths after spending several years as an assistant at the Belle Glade private school.
In the early 1990s, Dobson visited Benjamin in search of an assistant coaching position. Benjamin coach Ron Ream, who considers Dobson a friend, referred the young coach to Glades Day coach Byron Walker. He spent years working alongside current Glades Day coach Pete Walker, who considers Dobson a close friend. The rest is history.
"That was my mistake. We didn't have any positions for him at the time, but they loved him out at Glades Day," Ream said. "We need coaches like him in Palm Beach County, even though I can't beat him. He's a man of great integrity, and I certainly wish him the best."

If you thought the A's bullpen couldn't get any deeper, think again. Today, Oakland signed left-handed reliever Eric O'Flaherty to a two-year deal worth roughly $7 million, with performance incentives that push the contract's potential value to around $10 million.
O'Flaherty underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2013 and isn't expected to be available until around the All-Star Break. But when he's back, expect him to join an already top-notch bullpen, adding to Oakland's plethora of top-tier, front-end relievers like Ryan Cook, Jim Johnson, Sean Doolittle, and Luke Gregerson. When ready, he'll probably slot in behind Doolittle as the second lefty reliever out of the bullpen, and in my book, he's a step up from Jerry Blevins, who was dealt to the Nationals in December.
Before the surgery, O'Flaherty was a workhorse for the Atlanta Braves, and a consistent one at that — he notched 56, 78, and 64 appearances in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively, posting FIPs of 3.33, 2.54, and 3.27 in those years. His opponents' BABIP was remarkably consistent in those years as well, ranging from .274 to .282. His career K/9 is 6.91, with a BB/9 of 3.13.
It's impossible to predict how well particular athletes will perform after returning from significant injury, but before the surgery, O'Flaherty was in his prime — he turns 29 in a few weeks. The A's are only his third organization, as O'Flaherty spent the first three years of his career in the Mariners organization before the Braves claimed him off waivers at the end of the 2008 season.
O'Flaherty's bread-and-butter pitch is a low-90s sinker that's especially nasty against righties. He also throws a four seamer that tops out around 92 mph, and boasts a change-up and a slider in his repertoire as well.
While the signing doesn't affect Oakland's opening-day roster, Fernando Abad is most likely to be the odd man out once O'Flaherty returns — he probably has the least upside of the pitchers in the A's bullpen, and the A's will want to carry at least two lefty setup men. Drew Pomeranz is also an option there, and he, too, could end up being the one that gets bounced when O'Flaherty returns. For now, though, my money is on Abad.
Late Thursday — An update from Susan Slusser:
Eric O'Flaherty tells me he is "100 percent certain" he will be ready to go in the first half of season, possibly as early May. #Athletics
Eric O'Flaherty tells me he is "100 percent certain" he will be ready to go in the first half of season, possibly as early May. #Athletics— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) January 23, 2014
There's already buzz from some national writers (Ken Rosenthal, for instance) who think that O'Flaherty might be a candidate to close for the A's if Jim Johnson isn't back for the 2015 season. While it's probably not worth speculating about the long-term prospects for a pitcher in the midst of rehabbing from the most significant injury a pitcher can experience, Oakland's bullpen just got a lot stronger for the second half of 2014 and beyond. And in classic Billy Beane fashion, it's at very low cost.

"Antibalas is musical democracy in action, and an inspiring example of a band practicing what they preach." – BBC Music
Born in a Brooklyn warehouse in 1997, 12-piece ensemble Antibalas is credited with introducing Afrobeat to a wider global audience, influencing countless musicians and developing a live show that is the stuff of legend. The group has performed everywhere from Central Park to Carnegie Hall to Rikers Island Prison, and that's just in New York. Several members of Antibalas served as musical directors and the house band in the Tony Award winning Broadway hit FELA! and penned original music for the show.
Antibalas reunited with former member and producer Gabe Roth and released the band's fifth album, self-titled, in late 2012, which was inspired by economic meltdowns and global uprisings. This Afrobeat collective, whose name means "bulletproof" in Spanish, combines Latin, jazz, funk, and African rhythms, creating music that "turn all those instruments into one voice."

Global climate change is changing the patterns of ice coverage in the Arctic. For nations with polar territory, this change represents a danger, and an opportunity. Maritime forces are at the forefront of mitigating growing risks in Arctic, while also exploring opportunities for new shipping routes, mineral exploration and tourism.
Russia, Canada, Denmark and the United States stand to experience the greatest fallout from changes in the Arctic. In the U.S., the Coast Guard — the smallest of the country's five military services — has assumed leadership of America's Arctic challenge. And challenging it is, owing to harsh conditions and a lack of funds for specialized equipment.
The Technical University of Denmark estimated this year that, with rising temperatures, the Arctic would be ice-free in the summer, beginning in 2015. Less ice means easier navigation for commercial vessels and cruise ships, and opportunities to tap previously inaccessible oil and natural gas reserves. "The receding summer ice pack … is opening up a world of possibilities," noted Stratfor, a U.S. think tank. Though Arctic waters might be ice-free during summer within a few years, winters will still be icy.
For the U.S., less icy summers mean more human activity along Alaska's North Slope, also known as "Arctic Alaska." Today, the North Slope is inhabited by only a small number of native Eskimos. There's little commercial activity and virtually no major government presence. The military has no permanent facilities on the North Slope.
That might change in coming years. In 2007, the U.S. Coast Guard organized its first major expedition to the North Slope, deploying a small number of boats and helicopters to test whether the region could support sustained security operations. Every year since, the Coast Guard has repeated the exercise, gradually refining its equipment and practices as the 42,000-strong maritime service moves closer to a formal Arctic strategy, to be completed in the next few years.
The Coast Guard is an unusual organization, by American standards. It combines the deployable security functions of a navy with the domestic law-enforcement tasks usually assigned to police forces. With around 100 frigates and patrol boats (the service calls them "cutters") and several hundred aircraft, the Coast Guard represents one of the world's top 20 navies, all on its own.
There are a number of reasons the Arctic mission fell mostly to the Coast Guard. "There's not a requirement that would need naval warships," explained Admiral Thad Allen, the Coast Guard's top officer. Broadly speaking, Arctic nations have chosen not to deploy heavy military forces to the Arctic, as the ice melts. Instead, rescue craft, lightly-armed patrol vessels and icebreakers have dominated governments' planning. Canada has announced plans to build a new class of six patrol vessels, strengthened to withstand collisions with loose ice.
The U.S. Navy quietly maintains under-sea Arctic patrols, using nuclear-powered attack submarines "hardened" to surface through ice. However, routine government operations are focused on law enforcement, fisheries protection, search and rescue and environmental response, activities will all take place within the 200-mile-wide U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, Allen said. While the Coast Guard frequently deploys its larger vessels abroad, most of its day-to-day activities take place inside the EEZ. The Coast Guard also owns all three of the U.S. military's icebreakers.
Even with reduced levels of ice in certain months, the North Slope is a hostile environment for military forces, due to harsh weather and historically low levels of infrastructure investment. For one, there are no purpose-built boat launches on the North Slope. "We have a very hard time launching small boats up there," Allen said. In its annual Arctic experiments, the Coast Guard has learned to use natural outcroppings as makeshift launches.
Wet, cold weather causes icing on Coast Guard helicopters. For its first two Arctic deployments, the Coast Guard sent short-range HH-65C Dolphin helicopters, which have no organic de-icing systems. Aviators weren't comfortable with the icing risk, so this year the Coast Guard sent larger HH-60J Jayhawk choppers with de-icing gear. On the North Slope, the helicopters operate alongside Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules patrol planes.
"The communications infrastructure is very sparse and spotty," Allen added. This summer, Allen accompanied a government team on a tour of North Slope communities. While airborne, the team had to relay radio communications via two other aircraft, in order to contact ground facilities.
In other parts of the U.S., the Coast Guard works closely with local police forces, which often possess their own boats and helicopters for rescue and enforcement. But North Slope communities have very little in the way of major equipment, Allen said. This heightens the need for a sustained Coast Guard presence. Allen posited scenarios that could end disastrously, without Coast Guard intervention.
Allen described the possibility of a sinking cruise ship evacuating hundreds of tourists into lifeboats off the North Slope. "What do you do with the people in the boats?" he asked. Today, the Coast Guard "could get aviation there fairly quickly, but the closest ships are … 900 miles away." If the survivors numbered in the hundreds, the Coast Guard's helicopters might not be able to shuttle them all to land, in time to prevent deaths. To head off such a catastrophe, the Coast Guard needs a bigger, year-round North Slope presence.
The Coast Guard's Arctic forces would also safeguard expanding oil infrastructure. During his summer tour this year, Allen rode on a British Petroleum hovercraft to survey oil pipelines. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated this year that Arctic waters might contain between 50 and 150 billion barrels of oil plus huge natural gas deposits.
Due to the apparent wealth of Arctic mineral deposits, many commentators anticipate a cold war between Arctic nations, as they deploy more military forces to the pole. But Allen doesn't seem too concerned. He described changes in the Arctic reinforcing existing close ties between the U.S. and Canada. With one of the Coast Guard's three icebreakers undergoing deep maintenance following a long period in storage, the U.S. has arranged to have Canadian icebreakers help cover the western portion of Arctic Alaskan waters.
The state of the Coast Guard's icebreaker fleet is one of Allen's biggest concerns. Two of the icebreakers are more than 30 years old and in need of replacement, but Congress has not appropriated the roughly $1 billion per ship that it would cost to buy new icebreakers. "We should not diminish the current capability," Allen said. In other words, America needs new icebreakers, soon, if the Coast Guard is going to make the Arctic a full-time job.

The Secret to Success on Your First Film Job
This is a guest post by Evan Luzi, a camera assistant who runs The Black and Blue.
You step on set for the first time ever on day one of a shoot and you're ready to impress everyone. You've worked hard to get to this point and it feels like now — finally — you're where you want to be. From here on out, it should be easy.
Well, if that were the case, we'd have a lot more people working in the film industry. Instead, there's no doubt about it: it's tough to make a living in Hollywood.
Getting on set is just the first step in a long process. In the beginning, you need to "wow" those who gave you your opportunity in the first place.
Lucky for you, I've got a secret to help and it's bound to make your first day a better one. But before I reveal it to you, let me tell you a story.
"This is My First Movie, What Should I Expect?"
I distinctly remember the first time I ever stepped onto a film set. It was a low-budget feature film shooting on location deep in the woods of Leesburg, Virginia.
As I drove my car along the narrow one-lane roads of the countryside, I was nervous. I didn't know what to expect, what would be asked of me, and frankly, I didn't know if I'd be able to do it all.
Still, I pressed the gas pedal a little harder to make sure I wasn't late. Eventually the roads became narrower and the pavement gave way to gravel.
Finally, after a 40 minute drive, I reached the entry-way to an old wooden house — the main location of the 20 day shoot — put my car in park, and got out.
I was the only one there.
It was a camera prep day, so there was no immediacy to the situation, but I felt an eerie sense of fear — like I had made the wrong choice.
That's when Marshall turned up.
But he wasn't working on the movie, just dropping off the equipment: a RED One, a set of Zeiss SuperSpeed Primes, and a few cases full of accessories.
We talked for a few minutes and when our conversation reached a lull, I asked him for advice, "So this is my first movie, what should I expect?"
He laughed. But not just a chuckle. He laughed in a way that made me feel dumb for even asking.
"On a low-budget feature horror film?" He gave a wry smile. "People will become friends, people will fight, then they'll become friends again by the end." Then he took a moment to pause and finish his thought, "At least, that's the idea."
He seemed to relish imparting this ominous message to me and could tell I truly had no sense of what was to come over the next month. It was, after all, my first real shoot and I was a camera production assistant — an entry-level newbie with no experience behind a lens.
And that's what I was to Marshall, which is probably why he laughed. I was a wide-eyed camera P.A. about to embark on a low budget, month long shoot that he knew was going to be grueling. He probably thought I would get fired or lose my mind and quit.
As he drove away and the other crew showed up, I couldn't shake that feeling — that Marshall didn't believe I was cut out for the job. It's part of the reason I remember this day so vividly.
So what does this have to do with your first film job?
Well, everything.
That feeling, coupled with experiences further on in my career, gave me insight to a valuable lesson I hadn't yet realized that day.
Do This and You'll Find Yourself On More Sets
So now that I've teased you long enough, what's the dirty little secret? Well, not many of my peers in the film industry would care to admit it, but…
The expectations for a newbie on a film set are low. Very low. Surprisingly low.
Why? Because crew have seen so many first-timers step on set who can't hack it. For a variety of reasons, they simply don't meet the standards the rest of the crew have. And after dozens of encounters like that, crew don't stay optimistic.
That's why Marshall was so pessimistic when I asked him for advice and why he looked at me in a way that said, "Good luck, kid, you're gonna need it!"
But that doesn't mean crew won't give you the benefit of the doubt — in fact, they want you to kick ass. It makes their job so much easier to have a P.A. to rely on or another grip they can trust.
You only have to work a little bit harder than the other newbies a crew has worked with to impress them.
You want to be successful in the film industry.
You want to prove to everyone you've got what it takes.
You want to make contacts who will hire you in the future.
But are you willing to put in the extra effort to get what you want?
Before you stepped on set with the professionals, there were dozens just like you who came and went. I bet most of the crew didn't even bother to keep in touch with them. It's not that they weren't nice people, or that they weren't capable of the job, it's that they didn't approach it in the right way.
The real secret is you can't be satisfied with the job you're doing.
That's the key to your success – always ask what can be done and what you can do. Where people often fall flat on their first film jobs is by sitting around waiting to be told what to do.
The minute something has been taught to you is the minute some responsibility has been transferred to you. You only get one chance to learn something on a film set, maybe twice if it's complicated. After that, it's up to you to make sure it's done right.
Crew are surprisingly forgiving on certain tasks, but they do expect — and notice — when there is marked improvement.
But the reason their expectations are so damn low for newbies is because so many show up, do what they're told, and then wait to do what they're told next.
Take the initiative and prove you're worth working with again.
Rise Above Expectations If You Want Success
Establishing a career in the film industry requires a high level of perseverance while combating severely low expectations.
When you finally land that first gig, don't blow it by being a lazy, complaining greenhorn. Shove your foot in the door willing to bust your ass as hard as possible.
I never did see Marshall again after that first encounter, but I'd love a chance to talk to him today about how I beat the odds and how hard I had worked on that first shoot to overcome the obstacles thrown my way.
You only get one chance at your first job and, if you execute it correctly, you can start the domino effect that leads to more jobs and more contacts.
That's a lot of pressure, I know, but rest easy knowing that many have come before you and failed simply by not trying hard enough. If you're willing to go one step further than them, you've got a real chance at becoming a solid crew member — just don't tell anyone I told you, OK?

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
This all rings true – I came in to my first "proper" paid gig a couple of years ago at the very bottom of the ladder (locations department), working above and beyond what was expected of me. After 9 months of gruelling work (and endless hours stuck on the M25 around London) I have now worked on some of the biggest films around and have a couple of teams I regularly work with.
It does seem strange now when I am given a group of newbies on set that are my responsibility. I can usually tell straight away who's eager and who isn't. The worst kind of runner (aside from the 1st AD's brother-in-law's nephew) is what I like to call the Misunderstood Genius: that person will stand around doing nothing, and will then deem the tasks that are handed to him/her to be beneath his worth.
Haha! I love the Misunderstood Genius term — I'm gonna start using that myself.
There is a tendency to judge newbies straight away and it's important to resist that urge and give the benefit of the doubt. Though, most of the time, your intuition turns out to be right.
I admit that I was once a Misunderstood Genius.
Acceptance is the first step towards change :)
Misunderstood Genius – excellent. I can see it becoming a catchphrase, a phenomenon of sorts.
Although in Koo's case "Misunderstood Genius" was probably stripped of it's sarcasm… it was, more than likely, a phrase that carried literal significance.
Hah, nope! In my case I was just a Terrible PA.
But it was many years ago and it was a learning experience that led me to realize I didn't want to climb the production latter… not that way, at least.
John Jeffreys on 12.28.11 @ 3:47AM
Keep in mind that is not necessary to "climb the ladder" by being an assistant and so on, instead just make films and films and films every month and become more and more recognized as your work matures. They will start out very amateur but trust me you will learn very, very fast.
Definitely. There are many paths into the industry, including the "just do it" method.
I would argue also that while things are changing because of the web, the experience and expertise learned while climbing the ladder on real sets, where you are not the boss, are vital to being a good boss later on when you are in charge of other people. Being a good leader means you were once a good student.
Don't underestimate the power of the dark si… *ahem* I mean… the ladder.
I currently work as a corporate video producer and when I started the job I thought I knew it all, I got my ass handed to me and have been learning my ass off since. I call this a great paid "internship," I am always learning new stuff.
Study/read widely; work on as many things as you can; always be polite; get stuck in…
That was pretty much my route into the business (9 years ago, or thereabouts), and most of it is still relevant for me now. I might not work on anything and everything any more, but back then it was the best way to learn – even the rubbish projects teach you a lot. After working for a year or so (learning on the job and doing odd bits of freelancing work here and there) I got picked for my first proper industry job as the assistant editor on a massive documentary project. I was picked because I'd got known through the other projects, was keen, got stuck in and kept trying to learn more. During the course of that project I let the director know I had a bit of experience with a camera too, and ended up as B-camera – shooting cutaways, extra coverage and several of the interviews. I wasn't the best available and I certainly wasn't the most experienced – but I was reliable, enthusiastic, etc. etc…
I'd agree that it is possible to completely circumvent the 'ladder' route (though those that successfully manage this are still a rarity) but it's not always of benefit to do so – a thorough grounding in the working of one (or more) departments is immensely valuable in itself and can't really be gained without putting in the hours. It's also incredibly interesting to really get stuck in to the work of a particular department, learning the lingo, the nature of the work and so on.
Of course, this often isn't as attractive as going straight to the top of the pile, and because of that pretty much every company I know suffers the 'lazy/disinterested runner' curse – some more regularly than others. When someone with a bit of intelligence and a proper work-ethic comes along they're seen as a blessing and they tend to rise up the ranks very quickly – they don't even have to be great at what they do (that can come later) it's just a relief that they're useful!
Yea, this is going to apply to me soon. I'll be moving out from Alabama to to Cali or New York for work.
Heiko on 12.31.11 @ 3:01PM
The most annoying thing for a DP/cameraman/director/etc. is an assistant who is not paying attention. There's these guys who seem really enthusiastic about being an assistant at first, but every time you turn around in need of some help, your assistant is chatting with a cute girl, having a smoke with the actors or doing something else except paying attention to what needs to be done.
Then there's also a lot of wanna-bes who think they are really excited about all the film work, but after like 4-6 hours their excitement is pretty much gone and they just don't get that you need to work hard continuously on a film set.
I don't even have much experience with bigger film sets, just small indie productions – but I work in television and it's the same thing there with the assistants. It's harder to get a good assistant than you'd imagine… :)
David Dearlove on 01.21.12 @ 2:06PM
Thank you for this post.
I've been working for 2 years free lance in the film industry and haven't had my break yet, though the work is regular, I'm still working for free and not complaining. I'm keeping my head down and busting my ass until it falls off.
I came close to giving in late december then I found this article and my passion once again.
This is one of the hardest industries to get into, however it's one of the most virtuous and rewarding and you've really, REALLY inspired me to keep on going and to not EVER give up.
I want to eventually fit the bill of a cinematographer, and I'm getting there. Slowly, but surely.
Thank you.
I cannot express that enough.

Commanding Chief to make amends in Owen Silvera Mem Cup
COMMANDING Chief, who flopped in a Grade Two event over 1,300 metres in his last start, returns to Open Allowance company and heads a field of 11 in the $786,500 Owen Silvera Memorial Cup at Caymanas Park today. The eighth race on the card of nine, the Owen Silvera 1,600 metres feature, among three-year-olds and upward, is scheduled to go off at 4:50 pm with first post at 1:10 pm.
The most precocious son of War Marshall to date, Commanding Chief is one of two senior Grade One performers in the field along with Raise A Ruckus and with the journey increased has more than an even chance of making amends for his aberration on last.
The race before his last was run over today's distance and Commanding Chief finished six lengths second to the brilliant American imported colt Mismyrtleboyrichie in a fast run time of 1:38.3. Both Commanding Chief and Mismyrtleboyrichie carried 57.0kg, with the American colt winning in a time of 1:37.2.
On this occasion with nothing quite as fierce as Mismyrtleboyrichie present, Commanding Chief will look to rebound despite facing the two Americans, Reasonable Press and Go Go Yvonne, who had him behind in a Grade Two race Seek Exercise Book Trophy race on last going 1,300 metres and Raise A Ruckus, whom he had behind in the Mismyrtleboyrichie's race.
He has done less speed work for the longer trip at exercise and with the pace expected to be less frenetic, could register his third win for the season from five starts.
Commanding Chief, a four-year-old chestnut gelding by War Marshall out of She Knows Beau (Beau Genius) bred by Paul Chen is prepared by trainer Everal Francis for owners Doks Stables. Champion jockey Dick Cardenas has been called in to partner Commanding Chief. This is in place of customary jockey Paul Francis who will now ride Go Go Yvonne, a four-year-old bay filly who is weighted to again attempt to rival Commanding Chief, who was slowly into stride, when they last met on August 25. Reasonable Press is another who is also weighted to go close. The Mass Media colt was slated to carry 56.0kg, but will benefit from the 4.0kg claim of the apprentice Orlando Foster to come in at 52.0kg.
However, the one who looks a real danger to a Commanding Chief victory is Jet Setter. This very consistent son of Region Of Merit trained by champion Wayne DaCosta has won only two races from his 11 starts this season. Has twice attempted 1,600 metres this season without much luck, but his running style is ideally suited to the pace shape of this particular race and from an all out effort could go close.

Besides the Jazz game, only one game of interest, for our purpose.
The Good
via Moni (cropped by me)
Atlanta Hawks 83 @ Washington Wizards 115
Even though the Hawks were without Josh Smith and their playoff seed is set, is a 32 point beat down by one of the worst teams in the league acceptable? Yikes. Good game from O. Jeffers, who contributed 13 points and 11 boards, off the bench. Jordan Crawford kept is shooting in check, but added to the effort with 8 assists. This outcome surprised me. The Wiz are now just 2.5 games back of the Nets.
Washington: 22-58
The Jazz
Last night's loss puts the Jazz at just 1.5 games on either side of the Warriors and Suns. Depending on how the last two/ three games play out the Jazz could end up with their pick being 11, 12, or 13.

Hi everyone. Big Milwaukee Brewers fan here living in DC. Anyone have any guesses as to what hotel the team is staying in? I have seen teams staying at the Ritz Carlton on 23rd and M (Pittsburgh Penguins), but could they be somewhere closer to downtown? I read somewhere that the JW Marriott is a good candidate. Figured I'd check in with some Nats fans who might have a good idea.
Thanks for your help.
