UPDATE: Case against teacher facing child porn charges moves forward
Submitted: 03/26/2014
Adam Fox
10 p.m. Anchor/Reporter
- UPDATE: March 26,2014 - 8:25 p.m.
The case of a Wausau teacher and coach accused of keeping child pornography will move forward.
Michael Switalski, 50, faces eight charges of keeping child pornography.
That includes nearly 100 pictures and a dozen DVDs.
He's on leave as a teacher and boys soccer coach at Newman Catholic High School in Wausau.
Switalski waived his preliminary hearing in court Wednesday.
He will be back in court later this month.
Switalski could spend at least 24 years in prison if convicted on all of his charges.
A Wausau area teacher faces eight charges for possessing child pornography, after police used a warrant to search his house on Friday.
Michael M. Switalski,50 , made his initial appearance in Marathon County court Monday. He is a teacher and boys soccer coach at Newman Catholic High School in Wausau, and has lived in the city for more than 20 years.
According to the criminal complaint, special agents of the Department of Justice, as well as officers from the Wausau Police Department, used a search warrant at Switalski's home at 926 Parcher St. in Wausau.
Police found USB storage devices, a hard drive from a laptop, more than a dozen DVDs and documents. Police say The thumb-drive had 95 images of nude males, many of whom appear to be under the age of 18.
None of the pictures or DVD's have any connection to students at Newman Catholic.
Police say the DVDs were connected to a Toronto based film company that had been busted for producing and shipping nude films of minors to customers worldwide. Azov Films was raided by police in May of 2011.
Based on business records, Azov Films had been shipping videos to customers in the U.S. through USPS Priority Mail.
Many of the DVD's in Switalski's home appeared to be produced by Azov Films. Boys in the videos ranged in age of approximately 10 to 16 years old, according to the criminal complaint.
The severity of the content seized was one of the reasons Judge Jill Falstad did not lower Switalski's bond, or allow a signature bond. Switalski will need to post $75,000 to post bond.
Switalski had been teaching at Newman Catholic high school, as well as coaching the schools boys soccer team.
Theresa Wetzsteon, Marathon County deputy district attorney, says Switalski has contributed to the community in his time at the school. She believes many people will come to Switalski's defense.
"I just want the public understand that this isn't something we take lightly," Wetzsteon said."We understand that he is a very important member of this community, but these charges are very serious and it is very important that the public have accurate information and that they stay informed."
Newman Catholic Schools released a statement Monday afternoon saying they were "shocked and saddened by the recent arrest of Michael Switalski for suspected possession of child pornography."
Following protocol, the school has placed Switalski on administrative leave.
"He will remain on administrative leave pending the completion of the investigations by both the Department of Justice and NCS," according to the press release.
Each charge of child pornography carries a 25-year maximum prison sentence. Each count also carries a minimum three-year prison sentence for each charge, meaning Switalski faces at least 24 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
Police are still investigating and could bring more charges forward.
Switalski for his preliminary hearing on March 26th.

Do You Love Your School Principal?
Published by: Sam Crabtree
May 3, 2011
For the first twenty years of my Christian journey, loving God was about as foreign to me as loving the school principal would have been when I was a student. The principal was in charge, so I respected and obeyed him. I submitted to his authority, but I certainly didn't feel close to him.
—Wayne Hobbes, in Discipleship Journal, January/February 2008
The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying him forever. Love of God is not embraced until his goodness is tasted.

CHARGERS: Shouldering the blame
Players know their performance is reason for Cottrell's firing
SAN DIEGO -- Ted Cottrell took the fall for the Chargers' poor defensive showing over the first half of the season. But several of the team's defensive players know part of the blame lies on them.
A Chargers' squad that led the NFL in interceptions and takeaways last season has become a sieve this season with the unit ranked just 28th in total defense and dead last in pass defense at the midway point of the NFL season.
Ron Rivera has been handed the task of getting an underachieving defense back on track. But the firing of Cottrell as defensive coordinator on Tuesday was a signal to some players that accountably doesn't just apply to coaches.
"Most definitely," linebacker Matt Wilhelm said Wednesday. "A few players even joked about that we screwed up so much we went and got a guy fired. Obviously, it's embarrassing because he's the guy on the cover of the paper and he's gone now and we're still here."
Veteran cornerback Quentin Jammer said too many players have been making on-field mistakes and said corrections have to be made immediately. He said the Chargers, sitting with a 3-5 record entering Sunday's bye, are now a more dangerous team now than they were at the start of the season.
He explained his reasoning this way: "Because people are getting fed up with some of the (stuff) that's going on around here. Losing -- we're fed up with. There's going to be something done about it."
Rivera was Chicago's defensive coordinator from 2004-06 and had been serving as the Chargers' inside linebackers coach the past season-and-a-half.
Coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith hope the switch in defensive coordinators will be the thing that bolts the Chargers to life.
Turner and Smith, along with president Dean Spanos and executive vice president of football operations Ed McGuire, met several times last week while the team was in London to discuss options that could jump-start the struggling team. A switch of defensive coordinators -- something that began being discussed in early October among the four men -- was Turner's recommendation.
Turner was hired as Chargers head coach in February, 2007, and followed up on Smith's recommendation to hire Cottrell as defensive coordinator to replace Wade Phillips, who had been hired as Dallas' head coach.
Smith said Wednesday that it wasn't the first time he had recommended Cottrell as a possible defensive coordinator hire to a Chargers coach. Smith said he recommended Cottrell -- along with Phillips and current Buffalo coach Dick Jauron -- to former coach Marty Schottenheimer following the 2003 season.
Cottrell and Smith had worked in Buffalo for six seasons before being reunited last season. But Smith agreed with Turner that a change was necessary.
"We're just not happy," Smith said. "We're struggling. Everyone has an opinion. The bottom line is at the halfway point, we felt we have to make a change and that it wasn't going to get any better."
The defense has struggled without injured star linebacker Shawne Merriman, who brought an edgy attitude as well as stellar production (39 1/2 sacks from 2005-07). Still, nobody foresaw the defensive unit declining from the one that led the NFL in interceptions (30) and takeaways (48) just last season.

A Randall Returns
Posted November 25, 2003
A real treat
Only his second cousin Bill Metzger could get police officer and former MP Mike Davis to leave Chicago for the former¿s hometown of Rawhide, Wyoming. Bill suffered a heart attack that forced him to retire as town sheriff, but before relocating to the warmth of Arizona, he insured an experience and skillful professional was chosen as his replacement..................................... Jake Randall asked Mike to keep an eye on the house that his daughter is moving into when she returns to town. When he sees an SUV parked outside, he investigates and finds a thirty something woman inside. When she offers no identity, Mike arrests her only to learn she is the daughter, Dr. Caroline Randall, home for the first time in four years.............................. Caroline explains to her mom she can never get pregnant as a result of the car accident. Now she is back amongst the happy meddling Randalls who will pity her. However, though a true blood, Caroline fails to understand her kin because they plan for her to marry the new sheriff as the Wyoming matchmakers get to work on two feisty victims....................................... Writing the thousandth book for an imprint is quite an honor and means plenty of pressure. Judy Christenberry proves she earned the privilege with a fine Randall ¿Brides for Brothers¿ tale. Though the twelfth novel in the Randall universe, the tale retains the Wyoming briskness that will please newcomers and fan followers. Though Caroline is to obdurately opposed to a relationship, the lead couple is a delightful pair while the usual matchmakers cause havoc as is their want. Readers will have a good time with the cast¿s antics pushing the Windy City expatriates together.............................. Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful?

20 Ways to Improve Your Presentation Skills
I've been doing a lot of presenting recently, and I have no problem admitting that it's tough. For those not born with natural eloquence, public speaking can be remarkably nerve-racking.

Since I know I'm not the most eloquent speaker in the world, I make up for it by packing my presentations with enthusiasm, unique/proprietary data, and tons of useful content as well as plenty of dumb jokes.We can't all deliver the next Gettysburg Address, but there are lots of small things you can do prior to your presentation that will help calm your nerves and set you up for a better presentation.

The 4 Best Presentations from Pubcon 2014
Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in Pubcon Las Vegas, one of the world's largest, most popular digital marketing conferences. Before shipping out for the event, I read a few "surviving Pubcon" guides and the most commonly shared piece of advice was to plan ahead and map out exactly which sessions you plan to attend.
When I arrived, it became very apparent that this was a wise move. There were multiple tracks so, at any point during the 4-day event, attendees had the option of listening to one of six presentations, roaming the exhibit hall or networking with fellow attendees.Although I tried to stick with my meticulously planned schedule, it was tough. There were tons of interesting presentations so I frantically bounced from room to room trying to fit everything in. By... > Read more
5 Epic Content Marketing Tips from Joe Pulizzi
What makes an outstanding presentation? One that pushes you to think from a new perspectives? One without an endless string of snooze-worthy PowerPoint slides?Perhaps gaining actionable items to implement and grow your business?Nope, you guessed wrong.According to the self-proclaimed poster boy of content marketing, Joe Pulizzi, a great presentation is one you go into with low expectations.
For instance, if you expect to go home with one actionable item, but instead go home with two (i.e. it exceeds your expectations).As marketers and business owners, you've probably attended your fair share of unfortunate presentations.

Storytelling in Content Marketing: What It Is, What It Isn't, & How to Do it Right
I recently came across this video, in which renowned Austrian graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister tackles the stubbornly enduring buzzword "storytelling." In refreshingly candid and colorful language (some of which is NSFW, by the way), Sagmeister dismisses those who claim to be storytellers, because the majority of people who apply this label to their work simply aren't storytellers.
Before we go any further, watch the video. It's only two minutes long. Go ahead, I'll wait.WARNING: Again, this video contains some NSFW language. If you're in the office, wear headphones.Although Sagmeister is referring to the concept of the self-styled storyteller within the context of design, his remarks are equally applicable to content marketing.

Should Search Marketers Pay Attention to Growth Hacking?
By Sean Ellis, Founder and CEO of Qualaroo and GrowthHackers.comSearch marketing is the ultimate in mature channels, dominated by best-practice marketers who have honed their programs to the point of near-perfection. In particular, Google AdWords is ultra-competitive and there seem to be little to no low-hanging fruit, making it difficult to find positive ROI without a sizable marketing budget and a lot of SEM expertise.
Taken together, these factors combine to make search engine marketing one of the most crowded, competitive acquisition channels out there—and for good reason, because all that active commercial intent can lead to quick conversions.While it might not be readily apparent on the surface, growth hackers and search marketers share a lot of the same DNA.

Telecommuting helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, study says
Many people are choosing not to drive to work on April 22 and instead work from home in honor
of Earth Day. They might also use less energy and green up their environments any way they can.
According to Earthday.org's "A Billion Acts of Green" blog,
people choose to telework for various reasons.
"By teleworking, I reduce [my] carbon footprint: no exhaust
pollution," comments Angela LeFall. Teleworking also reduces congestion on highways and
streets, and reduces the wear and tear on public property, such as streets, buses,
trains, etc., she adds.
And if people telework more frequently, Earth Day initiatives can have far-reaching effects in daily life.
A recent telecommuting study conducted by the American
Consumer Institute said greenhouse gas emissions could be
reduced by about 588 tons in the next decade if another 10 percent of the
workforce jumped into the movement, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.
A number of federal agencies are doing their part thanks to the
Telework Enhancement Act signed by President Barack Obama in December 2010, which requires all agencies to develop telework policies.
For example, thousands of Defense Information Systems Agency employees relocating to Fort Meade, Md., are being encouraged to telework because many of them still live in Northern Virginia.
Other environmental benefits of teleworking include fewer dry-cleaning chemicals being used and workers saving money on child care. In addition, firms "will
need less equipment, office space, parking spaces," the American Consumer Institute study states.
Telework arrangements also allow professionals to control
their work environments.
"Teleworkers can…control
their own work waste at home by reducing paper usage, increasing recycling
efforts, using CFL or LED light bulbs, opting for windows and fans instead of
air conditioning, and turning off electrical appliances when they're not in
use," writes Sara Sutton Fell on her
"Broadband for America" blog.

Yesterday, we had the first real snow in Montreal; today is the first time this season that the temperature has been below freezing the entire day. Winter is here even if it is only November.
I am looking through my Lightroom catalog, reflecting on last winter, which was probably the coldest and longest winter I've ever experienced in my life. I found a few interesting photos from last year that triggered some memories.
Because of the very cold weather, the rivers and lakes were frozen solid by the end of November. However, due to the complete lack of snow and wind, they looked more like ice rinks with their perfectly flat and reflective surfaces. I am not sure if it was safe to skate or not but with the clouds reflecting on the ice it looked quite unique and beautiful.
This view lasted only 2 or 3 days until we had our first snowfall and the river was then covered with snow until spring.
Experimenting with Perfect Effects 9
I am experimenting with the brand new Perfect Effects 9 from onOne Software and I really like what I see. There are some unique features that are brand new to version 9. So far my favorite one is the functionality where you can protect the highlights and/or shadows of the photo after applying various effects. I find it priceless.

Sales of Jesus book soar after Fox News interview highlights author's Muslim background
Religious scholar's book sold out on Amazon in Canada after viral interview
Share via Email
The old cliche about clouds and silver linings has never been more appropriate. A scholarly but controversial book examining the life of Jesus has become a bestseller in Canada and the U.S. partly because of an embarrassing interview on Fox News.com which has gone viral.
American religious scholar Reza Aslan's 10-minute appearance on the conservative channel's Spirited Debate webcast program hosted by Lauren Green was supposed to be about promoting Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth but instead became a toe-curling inquisition about the author's Muslim faith.
The clip, which has been viewed 1.99 million times on YouTube, has become so popular that the book climbed to the No. 2 spot on Amazon Canada on Tuesday and holding the No. 1 slot on the American version of the online book retailer. It is also a New York Times bestseller.
"I kind of had an idea of what I was getting into," Aslan told The Majority Report, a New York-based talk show. Aslan, an associate professor at the University of California, Riverside, has previously been targeted by anti-Muslim groups.
In the now notorious interview, Green, the network's religion correspondent begins the segment by asking Aslan: "You are a Muslim, why did you write a book about the founder of Christianity?"
Aslan responded: "I'm a scholar of religion with four degrees including one in the New Testament and fluent in biblical Greek who has been studying the origins of Christianity for two decades who also just happens to be a Muslim."
That could have been the end of it, but Green returned for an attack: why write about the founder of Christianity? Aslan, an Iranian-born Muslim who converted to Christianity and returned to his original faith, kept his cool, at times speaking slowly as if answering a young child. Green asked why Aslan had refused to "disclose" that he was a Muslim while appearing on other media outlets. Aslan retorted that the second page of his book states that he is a Muslim and that he had never hidden his religious background.
At one point, the scholar, who studied at the prestigious Harvard Divinity School, started to explain how Jesus was crucified — a punishment the Romans reserved for acts of sedition — and that he was a "political revolutionary who took up the cause of the poor and meek" and launched the "greatest religion."
But Green cut him off, at which point the interview descended into farce. Isn't this like a Democrat writing about why Ronald Reagan wasn't a good Republican? Green asked.
Aslan replied, wide-eyed: "It would be like a Democrat with a PhD in Reagan who has been writing about his life and history for two decades writing about Reagan."
Appearing frazzled, the anchor persisted: "But why would he want to promote democracy by writing about a Republican?"
Aslan looked stunned. Her question perhaps revealed more about the polarized state of American politics and Fox News, than anything Aslan had to say about the founder of Christianity.
Meanwhile, conservative Christians have flocked to Amazon's website to write blistering reviews.
"This is a tactic the devil has been using since the beginning of time — write a book attacking the greatest man who has ever lived and watch sales fly through the roof," read one posting.
