By Kerry Brophy Reprinted from The Leader, Fall 1999
Chris Gergen will never forget his first introduction to NOLS. "I'd never been camping before," he recalls. "And then my NOLS instructors stuck me on telemark skis with a 60-pound pack on my back and a 60-pound sled on my hips. We were heading into an evening snow storm and I began thinking, 'What the heck am I doing here?'"
Memories of Chris' 1989 spring semester in the Rockies refuse to fade, especially the recollection of what he saw the next morning when he stuck his head outside the warm tent. "I awoke to the clearest morning I had ever experienced. The sky was blue and there was snow everywhere with nothing but animal tracks heading into the trees. The beauty was indescribable."
There are other crystal clear recollections as well, even though a decade has passed. Chris will always remember doing Tai chi' at dawn in the Canyonlands, pulling off his first roll in a kayak, climbing his first crack, and the thrill of emerging after ten hours from a cave in Big Horn National Park. Today, Chris is still exploring, learning all he can and leading others, although not always in the backcountry.
Indeed, after his NOLS course, Chris dived right into leadership roles. He received a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. While there, he was a leader for Project Wild, a student program focusing on outdoor skills and leadership. He went on to earn a Master's in public policy with a focus in education from the George Washington University and his Masters in Business Administration from Georgetown University.
Since NOLS, he has studied and worked on five continents with additional travel through Southeast Asia. In 1994, while traveling and working throughout Latin America, Chris founded Cafi Nunoa in Santiago, Chile.
"I noticed that the high school curriculum often lacks good leadership training," says Chris of his LEAD! project. "After my NOLS course, I set out on a task to provide leadership training to others."
As part of the LEAD! program, Chris gets to use his NOLS skills by taking students on a four-day camping trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lessons include route planning, food rationing and equipment use as well as sessions on map and compass orientation, natural history of the area, environmental awareness, and minimum impact camping techniques.
Chris' strong emphasis on leadership and community involvement has also inspired him to try and bridge the gap between the non-profit and for-profit worlds. In the past year he has co-developed the Greater Washington's Emerging Leaders Initiative, a project designed to provide emerging leaders across the Washington region with critical leadership training and access to the city's business and decision-making network. He also worked with the Foundation for the Future of Youth and the World Bank to develop "InfoEnterprises" throughout the developing world. "InfoEnterprises" provides technical training to young people in Dakar, Senegal, Santo Domingo, Ecuador and Santiago, Chile.
He now serves as the co-founder and co-CEO of SMARTHINKING Inc. (www.smarthinking.com), an education technology company providing real-time online tutoring to higher education students across the country.
Chris is the first to admit that, without his NOLS experience, life would be much different now. "My NOLS course was critical," he says. "It opened up many opportunities for what I do now. Confidence, leadership, caring for the environment, and active participation in our world were all lessons that NOLS encouraged. Now I am just trying to figure out how we can help pass these life skills along to others."

TT Stopping DS2 Going To School

I need a bit of advice in regards to my DS2 TT problem. DS2 will be 4 in June and he is able to start pre school in a couple of weeks but there is one problem. He will not no matter what do a pooh in the toilet. I started TT him just after his 3rd birthday. He has had wees under control for months now but poohs are a no go. I was hoping he would've gotten over is holding him back by the time school started up again but no it hasn't. DS2 has speech issues which I don't think impact on his TT and is being seen by a ped for other issues but I have just recently changed over to a new ped as the old one was not being very helpful at all and that's putting it nicely. DS2 does not see the new ped till the middle of feb. DS2 can count up to 9 and knows most colours even though he can't say them all as he has the speech problem. His day care kept telling me he should go to school and he would not benefit from being there any more even though of course he can stay. They kept saying it as all his *friends* from his room will be in preschool and not him. Because of his speech issues and other undiagnosed issues sticker charts and all that do not work. I'm not saying his stupid...but they just don't work if you can understand? Basically I'm just looking for tips on how I can help him without freaking him out do a pooh in the toilet. DS1 has SN probs as well but he was fully TT by 3 and a half. I'm pretty anxious and a couple of friends think I should just keep him out till the half year mark and see how he is. Thanks. #2Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:02 PM
He can start pre school even he's not fully TT, surely?
#3Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:15 PM
I guess it depends on his level of control. My son won't poo except in an absolute emergency on any toilet except our own. However, this isn't a problem because he has the control to not have an accident at Family Day Care (he just rushes straight to the loo when he gets home!).
If he can hold it for the however many hours he will be at preschool, it may not impact him at all. Maybe just get him to go before he leaves, and be aware he might be busting when he gets home. Edited by ~~K~~, 14 January 2013 - 03:15 PM. #4Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:21 PM
What happens when he needs to do a poo? Does he let you know/request a nappy or does he just go in his undies?
Is he fairly consistent in the timing of his poos? My DD was TT at 3 for wee but wouldn't poo on the toilet. She started preschool at 3.5 despite still not using the toilet for poo. But she only ever did a poo at night after her bath and would ask for the nappy to do it in. I alerted preschool to the issue and send a pull up in her bag just in case but she never needed it. About a month or so later she finally got over the fear and all was fine. I don't think she ever did a poo at preschool though - she prefers our toilet #5Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:27 PM
I stopped putting nappies on him the day I started TT him. lol He never wets the bed at night, well never has. He just poohs straight in to his undies. Most of the time he freaks out at other times he might just do it and come up whispering to me about having done a pooh in his pants. I think he whispers because he thinks he is in trouble.
Nope doesn't ask for anything to do a pooh in to just does it in his pants. I just take him to the toilet and empty the pooh in to the toilet and tell him poohs are done in the toilet and say it a few times but it never sinks in. Nope no regular pooh time I'm afraid. Very random with his poohs. lol. The principal told me that unless he is fully TT he can't start in a couple of weeks. The only way he can go is if I stay in the class room every day all day while he is there basically as his personal toilet aide..lady...till he is fully TT and then I can go home and stay there...He said we are a school not a daycare. I live in a very small town and this is the only preschool in town. Edited by ~Lady_Muck~, 14 January 2013 - 03:28 PM. #6Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:29 PM
That's unusual. I have always found that pre schools and schools are quite accommodating of toileting. Is it 3yo preschool and a private preschool? I would have assumed that he could not be excluded at 4yo or in a government setting.
#7Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:30 PM
Nope just a regular normal public school. No private schools around here. He said he will benefit from going to school and I said I know this.
#8Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:32 PM
How many days a week. DS2 had 1 day preschool at 3yrs turning 4. Also speech delayed and refused to poo in toilet. Took until May for him to poo in toilet. Luckily he only had one poo accident at Kinder in that time and they were happy to deal with it.
#9Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:34 PM
My DD is exactly the same, just goes straight in her undies. I am sorry that the school is not understanding. DD has pooed in her undies on more than one occasion at preschool but her teachers are absolutely fine with cleaning her up.
Can you start mid term possibly after seeing the paed? The paed might have things you can attempt to overcome the problem? #10Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:38 PM
If it's public school and he is 4yo, I would challenge it. He's entitled to be there. Which state is it?
#11Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:38 PM
3 days a week, 8:30- after lunch don't have a def time. :/ Maybe he is just still to young as he won't be 4 till the 4th of June?

All I know is that in SA the school cannot have that expectation and that the child is entitled to attend school.
If he's not 4 until June he may be outside the cut off however. Not sure what the cut off is in your state. #14Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:45 PM QUOTE (MrsLexiK @ 14/01/2013, 01:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know my friend had to have her child fully TT before starting preschool/kinder.

He has had a problem with eating since he was 2. It's hard to explain, he basically has just gone from eating normally to refusing all meats, anything we cook, all fruit etc to sandwiches, yoghurt, maybe bananas and other bits and pieces that take his fancy on a day to day basis. The ped thinks it might go hand in hand with other behaviours he is exhibiting. So basically I'm saying his diet is crap and he poohs are constantly solid. He is definitely not constipated but none the less his poohs are like bullets. I don't think they cause any pain when they come out either. #15Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:55 PM
Mine has no speech issues, will turn 4 in June and has only just started using the toilet. For him it was about control though (over me, not his bladder) so we just ignored it, took all TTP paraphernalia away and shrugged "it doesn't matter" whenever anyone asked.
Although he is in preschool and they will change his nappy. No other advice sorry, everyone told me you can't force it and in the end that was true fior us. All the best. #16Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:55 PM
He is due to start school at a public school. He has to be TT. I can see it from the school's point of view they are there to teach not clean up after a non tt child. It is not their job. They are not daycare or even a preschool attached to daycare.
Also think about the repurcussions on your son - how would he feel about being at big school still pooing in his pants. That will stick with him all throughout school long after he has been TT. Hold him back another year and send him to school when he is full tt - he is clearly not ready to start and being TT is a big part of it. I cannot believe the other posters thinking that it is not a big deal - it is a big deal. Why should the teacher have to deal with dirty knickers/nappies/pullups - it is not their job. He is not entitled to be there because he is not TT pure and simple. #17Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:57 PM QUOTE (~Lady_Muck~ @ 14/01/2013, 04:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He usually does a massive pooh every couple of days and in between nuggets but most days there is pooh.

The reason I would hold him back for unless the problem was sorted is because kids are bloody cruel! too cruel infact and if he is pooing in his pants everyday I think there is no doubt he will be teased and if this is the only school in the area he will go through that teasing for a few years to come. If he was older I may have say something else, but if you have time up your sleeve and can hold off to see if you can get him fully TT I would try that. #18Posted 14 January 2013 - 03:59 PM QUOTE (howdo @ 14/01/2013, 04:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He can start pre school even he's not fully TT, surely?

My DD started kindergarten last year and if she wasn't TT there would be no way in hell she would be going if she wasn't tt!! Another year would make a heck of alot of difference. #19Posted 14 January 2013 - 04:02 PM
Actually, you will find that public schools cannot refuse to educate a child due to special needs. All children are entitled to education at their local school.
However as this is pre school and the law about starting school means that this child, with a June birthday can attend FYOS in 2015 then it would probably be best to send him to preschool at the start of 2014.

I know it's preschool. The OP mentioned the principal so I wondered if it was a stand alone pre school or attached to a school blah blah blah. I have been trying to get more information about the age of the child and where she is trying to send him but at the end of the day, even if some people would not send a non poo trained child to preschool, at the end of the day they are entitled to go if they are the appropriate age. The OP's child isn't 4 until June and therefore I would send him to preschool in 2014, not this year and I presume the preschool can refuse attendance because he's after the cut off in most states.

By toilet trained, they mean out of nappies or pull ups. They expect some accidents. Even fully trained kids have accidents. I thought ds would be the only one but I noticed quite a few kids were having accidents. I agree but the OPs DS will not even do any poo in the toilet so that is certainly a long way from being mostly trained. I understand young kids when excited or not wanting to miss out holding on and having accidents. But that is vastly different from a youngster that has never been to the toilet to do poo. I am worried about the stigma. It is better holding him off for another year rather than to suffer through the years due to teasing. #21Posted 14 January 2013 - 04:12 PM
I think you're rushing him a bit. He's really only 3.5 years old. My son will be 4 in May and in the same situation. He has a lot of medical issues involving his bowel. We're only sending hom to 3 year old kinder this year, and probably looking at 2 years of 4 year old kinder before school.
I really don't think he's ready for school. There is a lot more to school readiness then being about to count to 10 etc. He needs to have social skills and maturity too. He's obviously not there yet. Please hold him back. I think you'll also find by what you described your son IS constipated. This needs to be looked into. It's not always easy to get to the bottom of it. Currently my son takes two lots of laxatives a day and has an enema every 3 days. If you send him now, you're setting him up for failure. #22Posted 14 January 2013 - 04:21 PM
I'm still confused about whether it's school or pre-school. I know in NSW they call fyos kindergarten,and in VIC it is prep. pre school in NSW is kinder in Vic and not 'school'???? Anyway if it's prep or kindergarten (which is what i classify as 'school' you can't send them til they are 4 anywhere is aus right?
However, as a primary teacher myself, we are not required to clean children's bottoms, the only time I had a student do a poo was as a student teacher, and child was sent to the sick bay and the child's mother was called. I can't comment on what the rules are at pre-school or in different states. Kids are very switched on even at 4-5, and may not be very kind about the smell etc. Socially I don't think it's a great idea to start him off until he is TT. He is still so young. #23Posted 14 January 2013 - 04:34 PM
Unfortunately this sometimes happens when TT is left late in their toddler years. They can not go to kindy nor preschool depends on what state you are in until fully TT. IF he does pooh his undies you would be called to come and clean him up as they wont do it.

I know someone whose child was still having frequent poo accidents in second year of school. She was entitled to go (state school), but her mother was called to the school each and every time to change her. That was the deal. OP, is this preschool year the year before formal school? In which case, your DS would be due to start full time school at age 4.5? In that case I would absolutely hold him back. So much better to hold back than have to pull him out part way or repeat. I'd use this next year as an opportunity to sort out the TT as well as get to the bottom of other undiagnised problems. That means he'll be so much better prepared and more confident when he does start FYOS. I really do see this as a useful opportunity to delay FYOS rather than an issue of whether or not he can/should attend pre-school in two weeks. #25Posted 14 January 2013 - 05:03 PM
I didn't gather that the op was just talking about accidents, which happens all the time in my classroom and you deal with it, but I had gathered that the OP has said outright to the school that ds is not tt. That is a bit different. In Qld, my understanding is that there's no official document that says that we will not take children who are not tt but the union's stance is that teachers don't do it. It is not only takes a lot of time, it is a bit of a legal mine field in a main stream classroom. Would it hurt to keep him home a bit longer?

El Hierro / Canary Islands - Most Recent Information By The Most Diligent - And Recap Of Past Year
Poster Handle
Post Content
Hi AT, I think you may want to take a look at this...A new post has just been posted on Volcano Cafe...Interesting to say the least..
El Hierro : a tectonic compression/relaxation mechanism?
Hypothesis: the earthquake swarms report relaxation of accumulated, compressive tectonic stresses
Read the full posting here:
link to volcanocafe.wordpress.com
Would of posted snippets but it is way to much information to post on here. Hopefully someone can dig the Juicy bits out though and post them....
Gizzie 8598858
Thanks...here's what catches me:
"The crust under the Canaries, part of the African tectonic plate, is moving north eastwards at 24mm annually in response to drag from the upper mantle."
That would explain some of the quakes however, we've seen 24mm of movement in ONE DAY during these swarms!!!!
"This compressive stress accumulation must be almost silent to seismometers: very few earthquakes have been recorded at Hierro over 25 years prior to 2011."
So...Hierro has begun a phase...something that has not occured in the thousands of years it has been there and it is not stopping. I think this one sentence right here verifies that Hierro is on the road to something substancial and frankly...unpredictable.
"It is the sudden relaxation of accumulated compressive stress that causes the earthquakes. The earthquake swarms are proposed to result from relaxation of compressive stress."
I don't agree with this concept. Show me how the progressive stress is reduced in some measurable capacity and then maybe I'll buy it. The plate doesn't just stop compressing...unless it's overall movement is finally over. Which...the rest of the article does not specify.
What I could buy is that the bulk plate and the surface plate might be finding a way to relax from their movement from each other. What's really interesting is to consider that this archipelago's bulk plate seems to be filtering ativity ONLY towards Hierro and the stress relaxation is offset by sudden deep, sometimes very deep, quakes around the Tenerife/Grand Canary island. We also saw one at 79km deep north east of La Palma a few days ago. That to say the least was interesting...that quake would've been BELOW the mantle...in the core!
Their imagery on #8, and without their actual explanation, may explain why the Frontera Bay region has seen most of the landslides. All the pressure is pushing forwards on the island. However, that also means that at some point the underside of the south can buckle and do a barber chair. It can become so unstable at the water line that it breaks and rolls outwards, causing a reverse slide.
THanks for the link and the info. THat was a great read! :)
American Trappers, LLC
You have some great valid points AT...You should register on VC and have your say, you could be a great contributor on there....
What I do have to say to people on GLP is this....
The article posted is just a 'Theory'. It is no way a 100% true account as to what is happening at El Hierro until it is proven 100% correct....
The writer is theorising as to what he thinks MAY be happening at El Hierro due to some of the data he has collected and the lack of Harmonic tremors when we all thought magma was rising...
Nevertheless, it is another great theory that can be added to the list to ponder when we get more data and events in the future....

Lodsys requests 2 months to respond to Apple (Updated)
A few weeks ago, Apple filed a motion to intervene in Lodsys' controversial lawsuit against a handful of iOS app developers. Lodsys was required to respond to Apple's request by June 27, 2011, but the company has asked for a two month extension. If a judge approves this extension, Lodsys will have until August 27 to respond to Apple's intervention request.
The patent holding company affirms this extension is not a stall tactic and claims Apple agrees to this delay. If true, this motion may be approved by the judge and developers may have to sweat it out another two months. Lodsys will also be free to broaden its lawsuit by sending out letters to additional developers.
This legal maneuver could put developers in a difficult position. Apple may be stalled for the next two months, while Lodsys decides what to do. Of course, Apple and Google could use this time to work out an agreement with Lodsys. In the meantime, though, Lodsys could continue to breathe down the necks of the development community. Even the most steel-nerved developers may crack under this pressure and sign a licensing agreement just to get Lodsys out of the way.
Update: Lodsys refiled its request and asked for an extension of one month which the judge is likely to grant. The initial two-month extension was done by mistake.

Title: | Economic analysis of investment decisions in tooling in operation for kitchen cabinet manufacturers |
Author: | Moon, Andy |
Subject Keywords | machining processes;computer numeric control (CNC) router bits;optimization;life expectancy |
Issue Date: | 2011-04-18 |
Publicly Available in cIRcle | 2011-07-20 |
Series/Report no. | University of British Columbia, Forestry Undergraduate Essays/Theses, 2010 winter session, WOOD 493 |
Abstract: | In the wood products manufacturing industry, the main objective for a machining operation is to achieve an optimal cutting result in the shortest possible time with minimal cost and waste (J. Ratnasingam, T. P. Ma, & M. C. Perkins, 1999). Going into the 21st century, the supply of wood resources has become a growing concern. Environmental issues such as global warming, and the industry's desire to save cost and enhance productivity has resulted in the need to address the optimization of machining processes (J. Ratnasingam et al., 1999). However, investment in machinery can be significant for small to medium-sized companies and could affect the company's survival at poor economic times. On the other hand, machine tools such as computer numeric control (CNC) router bits are far less expensive and, therefore, investment in optimization of machine tooling is far more feasible and will return improved results in quality, productivity and economics of a machining operation. Machine tools such as saw blades, cutter-heads or router bits have short life expectancies compared to those of the relevant machines, at which the tools are attached to. In this report, the life expectancy of CNC router bits and its effect on a company's capital budgeting will be analyzed. Considering the short duration of a router bit's life expectancy, cost benefit analysis has been used to evaluate an investment in an alternative type of CNC router bits, and provide supporting evidence for a case study in determining the optimal choice between two different types of CNC router bits. |

Captain Dean Couzins has already written-off the Olympic medal hopes of the men's Black Sticks.
Last night's 5-1 defeat to powerhouse hockey nation the Netherlands hurled New Zealand's Olympic semi-final chances into the realm of extreme improbability, but not impossibility.
They must now win their two remaining group games against minnows Belgium and world number two Germany, needing to significantly raise their goal differential in the process while also hoping other results go their way.
But post-match, Couzins, who consoled himself with news of the Kiwi rowing success which had played out at Eton Dorney during his side's Dutch defeat, appeared to have thrown in the towel.
London 2012, he said, has become a matter of pride and enjoyment.
"The semi-finals are gone, which is pretty disappointing. You work so bloody hard towards stuff, it's hard to take," Couzins said.
"It's important for us to finish as high as we can in the tournament and enjoy playing well with each other, that's what I'd really like to see."
An opening 2-0 loss to Korea has proven to be a wound which just won't stop bleeding.
It meant the Black Sticks would need to roll one of the world's second or third best teams, in Germany and the Netherlands, to have any chance of achieving their lofty pre-Olympic goal of a bronze medal match.
And while the world's seventh-ranked team aren't dead in the water yet, coach Shane McLeod also seemed resigned to the final breath lurking just around the corner.
"It's really tough. A lot of things happen in sport but if you play it through logically, there would have to be a few mathematical things to allow us to get through," McLeod said.
"We just have to make sure we concentrate on each game as it comes now.
"That [Korea loss] made this a must-win, hence the importance of this game comes through."
Making the Dutch loss even harder to swallow was New Zealand made a perfect start to the game, with Simon Child slotting home in the fifth minute.
But before the first half was out, New Zealand had slipped to 3-1 down against a side they haven't beaten since August 2010.
"To get a goal against Holland straight off was a perfect start," McLeod said.
"To see it dwindle away is obviously disappointing."
The Black Sticks were better than the scoreboard suggested however, conceding two goals in the second half after they were forced to chase the game.
"It becomes a bit of a coin flip when the game becomes that open. We were aiming for a quick goal after halftime and then the momentum of the game can easily swing.
"But in chasing that you leave yourself vulnerable at the back"
The Black Sticks' next game is against Belgium on Sunday, 7.30pm.

Wade not planning for Riley to coachBOSTON -- Dwyane Wade sat courtside Sunday night for Game 5 of the NBA Finals, a stage that he desperately wants to revisit. His coach in the 2006 Finals, Pat Riley, recently floated the idea that, if asked, he wouldn't rule out a return to the bench. Wade, for one, isn't planning for such a comeback. "That's just something that was said," Wade said after the Celtics beat the Lakers 92-86 to take a 3-2 lead in the Finals. "That's not anything we're concentrating on right now in Miami." Wade said Riley hasn't spoken with him recently about his plans for next season, when it is believed that a request from a marquee free agent would prompt Riley to come down from the executive suite and replace the highly regarded but ringless Erik Spoelstra on the sideline. "Right now, Spo's the coach and that's what I plan for going forward," Wade said. Wade, one of the top free agents of the frenzied summer that will begin in earnest July 1, prefaced his willingness to answer questions in the hallway leading to the locker rooms with the following caveat: "As long as it's not about free agency." But Wade did confirm a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he spoke last week in Los Angeles with fellow prospective free agents Chris Bosh and Joe Johnson. "We're just friends," Wade said. "Just like you talk to your friends, we're all friends and we all communicate." Though Wade said he hasn't begun the recruiting process to help lure another star to Miami, the notion of Riley returning to coach could be a big draw. Of the teams with the most cap space to chase free agents, the Nets (Avery Johnson) and Bulls (Tom Thibodeau) have committed to new coaches. The Knicks already have Mike D'Antoni, who is close to several top free agents from his time as an assistant for Mike Krzyzewski with Team USA. The Clippers are holding out hope that they could lure Larry Brown or Phil Jackson, and the Cavs have made a five-year, $30 million play for the top name in college coaching, Tom Izzo. For now, in Wade's mind, Riley should be excluded from that list. Just know that recruiting season hasn't really begun yet.

Lakers' Brown warns Izzo about NBA jumpBOSTON -- Lakers guard Shannon Brown would be happy for his college coach, Tom Izzo, if he made the jump to the NBA as coach of the Cavaliers. But Brown's enthusiasm, offered in the locker room after Game 3 of the NBA Finals, didn't come without a warning. "He's gonna have to, in my opinion, adjust some of his coaching tactics and techniques," said Brown, one of numerous NBA players who played for Izzo in East Lansing. "But I definitely think he could be successful at this level. The legacy that he has and could possibly leave at Michigan State is something that not too many people could do. If he stays, I'm happy for him. If he goes, I'm happy for him. He definitely has the options in his hands." Izzo is mulling an offer from the Cavs that is anticipated to be in the $6 million-a-year range. Despite a flurry of speculation Wednesday that Izzo had accepted or verbally committed, sources told CBSSports.com that wasn't the case. Izzo is said to be doing his due diligence -- read, trying to figure out if he'd be coaching LeBron James or a rebuilding team -- and the negotiation is ongoing, according to a person involved in it. Izzo, who has led the Spartans to six Final Fours and one national title, is known for his intense, fiery demeanor and for being extremely hard on his players. That's fine for a college coach, but won't work in the NBA. One factor that could work in Izzo's favor is that he's been at Michigan State so long, his name and accomplishments mean something to a cross section of NBA players who would respect what he's done at the college level. "I'd just tell him it's a whole different thing from college to the NBA," said Brown, who played for Izzo from 2003-06. "It's a whole different business. You've got to be ready for anything." Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who soon will enter into a contract negotiation for next season having already acknowledged that he'll be asked to take a pay cut from his current $12 million salary, was asked before Game 3 Tuesday night for his thoughts on a college coaching hauling in half that much per year. "Good for him," Jackson said. "Way to go." But Jackson warned that coaching in the NBA is an "arduous task." "It's not an easy job, and you know, when it's 200 some days, depending on how far you go into the playoffs, it's pretty arduous as far as dealing with stars of all ranges coming to the NBA," he said. "And from that, it has to go on for 82 games. It's a long march, and that gets difficult. The game itself, 82 games is a big difference from 30 or whatever you coach in college." Nobody has coached more NBA superstars than Jackson, and Brown said communication will be the key for Izzo. "It would be tough for him," Brown said. "He likes guys that are like him. He likes fiery guys. He probably couldn't talk to them the way he does sometimes, but I think if he made the adjustment he would be great."

Shaq to Cavs: Give it some timeORLANDO, Fla. -- The Cavaliers are taking an aggressive posture as they head into the draft and free-agent period, so it was only a matter of time before the Shaquille O'Neal talks heated up again.
Several media outlets began reporting Sunday that the Cavs and Suns have reignited talks about sending Shaq to Cleveland to help LeBron James in his quest for a championship. There wasn't much to reignite in the first place; widely hyped discussions involving O'Neal at the trade deadline were never on the verge of producing a deal. An executive familiar with the situation told CBSSports.com Sunday that the situation hasn't evolved much since then, expressing surprise at the flurry of reports. But when you have two teams desperate to move assets -- Phoenix with Shaq's $20 million expiring contract, and Cleveland with Ben Wallace's $14 million expiring contract and Sasha Pavlovic's partially guaranteed deal -- smoke often gives way to fire. Throw in the fact that the Cavs are coming off a debilitating loss to Orlando in the conference finals and an embarrassing week that featured a false report about coach Mike Brown's future, and you can see why the time may be right to shift to focus to the team's pursuit of O'Neal. The executive involved in the teams' dealings said he fully expects the O'Neal situation to move to the forefront once the clubs begin fully exploring their options in the draft and free agency, which begins next month. The Suns, coming off a 46-win, non-playoff season, are highly motivated to move O'Neal in a bid to avoid paying luxury tax. Acquiring Wallace and Pavlovic, whose $4.9 million contract is only guaranteed for $1.5 million next season, would save Phoenix as much as $10 million, including luxury tax savings. The Cavs view Pavlovic's partial guarantee and several players on minimum deals as a built-in trade exception they can use to improve the roster and give LeBron the big man he needs to compete for a championship at the highest level. A person familiar with the Cavs' thinking said the team is open to any and all possibilities and plans to take an aggressive approach in retooling a roster that won a league-best 66 games but failed to reach the NBA Finals. A wild card in the Shaq talks is Wallace, who stated after the playoff loss to the Magic that he was seriously considering retirement. Cavs management has yet to speak directly with Wallace about his intentions, and as of now the club doesn't expect him to walk away from the $14 million left on his deal. If Wallace reiterated his desire to retire, it would spur buyout talks that would free up cap space immediately. Short of that, Wallace would get no money and the $14 million he is owed would come off the Cavs' books. The idea of Shaq in Cleveland as a running mate for LeBron would present endless storylines and the delicious possibility of Kobe Bryant -- if he returns to the Lakers -- meeting his former and current nemeses in next year's Finals. The marketing people would have a field day adding a Shaq puppet to the popular Kobe & LeBron commercials. Bryant would be presented with the challenge of pursuing his fifth championship against the player he won with -- and feuded with -- in L.A. and the player who is trying to claim Bryant's title as the best player in the game. It almost sounds too good to be true, except that it's not. Just give it some time.

I'm sorry for your loss of your brother and understand you're still grieving, but what you state is not what witnesses say happened. The complete final report can be read here: http://santamariatimes.com/district-a...
Besides that fact your brother was on meth at the time of his death, and running from another felony he had just committed, witnesses reiterate the deputy's statement in that your brother turned his vehicle directly at the deputy and accelerated. He was NOT unarmed. He was driving his weapon and he could have killed numerous people prior by driving 100mph before encountering the deputy.
The message you're echoing is popular amongst the common anarchist and criminal elements of society. Drawing ridiculous correlations between officer involved shootings, and ignoring the basic facts of these cases, are the tactics of those trying to incite the ignorant actions we've seen in Ferguson, which is what you're doing in trying to connect your brother's case to Michael Brown.
The police have a job that can be so dangerous at times that those sworn to protect have to protect their own lives by using lethal force. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because I trust in their ability to keep my family safe in this world. Safe in this world from the likes of some meth fueled ex-con that may break into my home and then put other citizens in danger during his escape. Your brother caused his own death.

How stupid does one have to be to think the same dishonest group of "activists" can pull a fast one on SB voters in two short years after Measure P? 63 to 37% was a political slaughter. The future Measure ? will be dead too.
Posted on November 6 at 4:06 p.m.
We read the Measure P proponents saying the fight has only begun...LOL. I thought it started in 1969.
Here's the problem with their next campaign... 63% of the voting public saw the Water Guardians, or what ever they call themselves in the future, as nothing but LIARS trying to push their form of environmental terrorism at the ballot box. What makes them think we'll forget?
As for the EDC putting their name to this. Well, they were for an oil project before they were against one. Linda Kropp looks like a fool tainted with the lies of others now. The politics of environmental extremism.
Posted on November 6 at 3:49 p.m.
Just keep the pool shutdown and save a lot of money. The 9 people that visit it a day on average can play in the sprinklers.
As for you idiots that say my vote was because of big oils lies, the numbers did tell the story. It's all about the 63% that voted against it not falling for the BS Measure P proponents wanted them to believe. Starting with the premise from the beginning. THERE IS NO FRACKING IN SB COUNTY!!! Once that was explained to the voters it was clear Measure P was all a lie. Better luck next time.
Posted on November 5 at 7:56 a.m.
"You fought a righteous fight. Your voices mattered. You were the spark that has started a true grassroots movement for change in Santa Barbara County," BULL S..T!! Measure P didn't just lose, it was an absolute repudiation of environmentalism gone insane.
Over 60% or the county said 350.org (I mean the Water Guardians) are full of it and that they (the voters) care more about people than the irrational fears of bark eaters that had noting to lose.
Posted on October 17 at 11:14 a.m.
Measure P is nothing more than south county fanatic environmental terrorism that has no impact on them. It's the proponents biggest lie that hurts families and children of the north county.
They say all existing oil operations are protected, but what that really means is all existing permits are protected. Those permits all have to reissued at some point which means ALL EXISTING WELLS WILL BE SHUT DOWN OVER TIME. Eventually over a few short years families will be without income, schools and public safety will have their stretched budgets cut even more.
All the while extremists of the south county will never feel the effects, just like if Measure P is defeated. Measure P does NOTHING to protect south county. That doesn't stop some of the ideologues from using the 1969 spill in their rhetoric, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with onshore wells.
The threat of lawsuits is a possibility, but what's stated above ^^^^ are the facts. Again we must put these fanatics in their place on election day, just like with Measure M.
Posted on September 29 at 3:54 p.m.
The majority of these "poor" people, as some call them, are actually repeat offenders living on 3 meals a day, a roof over their heads, clothing, medical, dental, ect ect... all at taxpayers expense. That doesn't come close to what a lot of them took from their victims. I can't feel sorry for their soup or phone costs.
What ever happened to... "Quit being a fricken scumbag"
Posted on September 26 at 2:25 p.m.
Just another limousine liberal running his mouth. If P passes and the county is inundated with lawsuits and people lose their jobs is Robert going to help them? I think not. He doesn't care about that, Just like the proponents of P.
I still find it incredibly callous that the south county supporters of P don't care a bit about the future of workers in the north county over their BS irrational fears.
Let's do the right thing and VOTE NO ON P.

Love Mansuy - San Lucas
Artist: Love Mansuy
Producer: Ratatat
Album: Barely Legal EP
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 votes )
On his debut DJBooth feature, August's reader-acclaimed Lights, singer/songwriter Love Mansuy shared his vision of romantic utopia, describing a place where people were free to love whomever they liked, without fear of judgment. It's a nice thought, to be sure, but what looks like paradise from a distance can often turn out to be the opposite when experienced firsthand. Case in point: Cabo San Lucas. On the lead single off Mansuy's next EP, a borrowed beat by indie-electronic duo Ratatat (Montanita) backs the artist as he recounts how the titular city swallowed up a young, impressionable woman with big plans. Feeling it? Then stay tuned; Barely Legal has yet to receive a drop date, but we'll keep you posted on the project as further details emerge.
