Bump Dave. Howdy Gradyg, Officers don't prioritize their calls that is done for us. We just respond where we are sent unless it's something that is self-initiated. Most of these preventable accidents occur with officers with under 5 years on the job. Maturity and expierence rules the roost. Take care and be safe!

If police officers would prioritize their calls you probably would see less accidents by law enforcement but I have also seen people who do not give the right away to police cars that have the flashing lights going, not only putting the police officer life in danger but their own as well as others. Unless life and death is involved there is no reason to go 100mph in a 30mph zone. GOD BLESS drive careful and be safe.

Very interesting submission Steve and long overdue.There are sooo very many reasons for a pursuit,HOWEVER as an officer/deputy matures he/she wisely contemplates if the reasoning for said pursuit is higher than the risks involved.Due to the crew and assignments I was on was on I found pursuits we're higher than average and usually initiated a pursuit if it were a fleeing felon and or a verified stolen vehicle.The detailed reports we were required to make, following a pursuit, were sometime a deterent to those who wanted to pursue with only a meager reason for doing so.

Bump Copper380 BUMP!
we make decisions all the time that put ourselves and others in danger for the greater good and I do not need to go further into that because anyone with more than a year on the job understands. GOD BLESS and BE SAFE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS because no matter how well intended your actions are we run the risk of losing our job and or our freedom because of the decisions we make. In todays world there alwayys has to be someone held responsiible if there is a tragic chain of events and that will be us. Again, unfortunately we will not be able to convince todays world that we meant to do right when something went very very wrong. I just believe articals like this are only meant to do one thing....MAKE US LOOK BAD IN THE PUBLIC EYE!!
snhadley, I never believed YOU posted this to put any of us in a bad light, I believe the media prints stuff like this to make things look worse than they are as far as putting LE in a negative light and developing a perception that this is a far worse problem than it really is. No Brother, I would NEVER think you would do anything like that. I am fine wiith you posting it, I just wish the writer never wrote it!!!
Now, as for Officers responding to help one of their own. Long time ago we used to run with Blue Lights at least and occasional siren to get to another Officers location when he was going on a call we thought he needed back up on or sometimes even on traffic stops and suspicious persons and whenever he asked for a backup unit. If an Officer stated he needed help then it was ba**s to the wall and we were going to get there as fast as we could and used lights, siren, horn and even yelling out the window if we thought it would help. That ended in the early 80's when you actually had to get permission to respond with lights & siren to ANY call other than Officer needs help and even then only certain units were dispatched and were authorized. Id someone did not stop and sped off you had to contact a Supervisor immediately and let him know where you were at, and why you were pulling him over etc and then he would give or not give you permission to chase. That permission was never given unless it was a suspected dangerous felon. This allowed the City to remove itself from liability and place everything on the Offices shoulders if anything went wrong. That is when we started speeding to calls and for back-ups without using our lights etc. It is all a matter of Government liability and lawsuits now.
So whenever you see a patrol car speeding to me indicates he is going somewhere that he feels he must get there in a hurry, period.
As for Officers in high-speed pursuits; Officers should be able to justify the decision to chase or not to chase. You cannot have a policy NOT to chase as if that is the official policy then everyone and their brother will run. If you chase everyone then you will end up leaving innocent bodies in the wake. The Officer on scene should be able to justify his decision and articulate it to a Board of Inquiry should the feces hit the proverbial fan.
I DO COMPLETELY believe that anyone that runs from the Police should be charged with a dangerous felony and you should be able to legally stop them in ANY way, up to and including deadly force which means you can cause him to crash. Even if that means putting them into a tree or other immovable object and it causes their death.
Additionally ANYONE that runs from the police in a vehicle should be held responsible for all crimes and acts that result from the chase including first degree murder in the commission of a felony if anyone is killed during this chase.

Cededale, the policy for us for pursuits have to have something additional other than not stopping, It's whatever flavor of the week for policy here! We don't chase motorcycles, dirtbikes, four wheelers or just purely traffic offenses unless it s a felony such as hit and run with injuries or something like.battery on a LEO. An officer can initiate a pursuit if they like but if it does not fit the criteria then a supervisor will shut it down. Liability issue!

mz66, Many years ago Jacksonville, FL(I think) tried a no pursuit policy for traffic violations. In 6 months they rescinded this policy as most people just wouldn't stop for the police once knowledge of this policy became widespread. Interestingly enough, and once again I don't know who said it but I believe it was a FL trooper with 10 or so years on the job. He had been in something like 21 pursuits and in all but one there were other reasons the suspect fled that the traffic violation that started the pursuit, usually drugs in vehicle or felony warrants.

Copper380, if you feel that I posted this to make MY and YOUR profession look bad you missed the point by a couple of light years. Most, if not all got the point. Maybe you should read the comments. They may bring this article in to perspective for you! Be safe out there!

I don't think Steven posted this to make cops look bad (duh). I think it was intended as a call to take care and think before engaging in a high-speed pursuit to catch, for example, someone whose window tinting is too dark for regulations (a real example from the article).
sorry, I did not read any comments but feel the need to speak about the artical. I feel bad for the victims and their families but the artical title pisses me off and charging people for accidents is nuts unless they were not in the line of their duty. Accidents happen and I do not see intent to injure in most of these cases. What about the number of people killed every day on our roads that did NOT have an officer involved. Glorify the artical by putting cops and their victims in a single line catches the eye of readers. Sorry, cop hater artical and I am sorry I read it. Why not an artical about speeding idiots that have no reason at all for speeding and their officer victims? I am very sure the numbers would be much higher!! How about the number of people killed by elderly drivers or teen drivers, again I am sure the numbers are much higher. Don't get me wrong, I am not sticking up for cops just because they are cops but I am against people targeting a few instances to make all cops look bad and bash cops just because they are cops!!!
Most officers I know do not speed just to speed, if you do then you deserve what is coming. we are our own worst enemy when it comes to PR and the media will always be right there to help us distroy any good public image we have..

Every day we face the fact we might not make it home. But that does not mean we haft to loose our life going to work or hurt someone in the process. A phone or radio is a lot faster than the car we are chasing. If the excitment is to over whelming then thats a good sign to back off. I hate wake up calls, but we all need them from time to time. Stay blessed LEOs and be smarter than the idiots we are chasing. No LEO should haft to loose his or her life. No LEO should ever take the life of the innocent.

Sisko's judgment of Dukat in "Waltz"

Re: Sisko's judgment of Dukat in "Waltz"
I certainly don't agree with him calling Dukat "pure evil." I mean, he wa nuts, he was an egomaniac, but "pure evil?" Nah. Though I do think they tried pretty hard to make him seem nastier in that particular episode and the later ones.
Part of me wishes that Waltz was the end of Dukat, but then, I guess I think any Dukat is better than no Dukat, because I still looked forward to any Dukat episodes when I first watched season 7. Still, i do think making him evil was a bad move and that he did become a cartoonish villain after that, rather than a complex character.

The development of North Ada Co. and other storiesSubmitted by fortboise on Mon, 03/18/2013 - 1:17pm.
Spent way more effort than you'd imagine to come up with this little story about urban renewal, just because Mike Moyle weighed in on Dave Bieter's supposed "power grab." I didn't follow the urban renewal thing when it was hot in the 2011 legislature, and haven't kept close track of all the development ideas for N. Ada since the real estate bubble popped.
If there is more I should know (or say), tell me.

Remember the Luna Laws?Submitted by MeAndG on Fri, 03/08/2013 - 10:03am.
We elect our leaders to protect our rights, not to limit them.
But just this week, the Senate State Affairs Committee passed a bill to limit our rights to petition the government with initiatives and referendums. Remember the Luna Laws? Those were rejected because of the initiative process. The bill, S1108, makes it much more difficult to get initiatives on the ballot.
Help us spread the word about this bill!
Contact your representatives in the House tell them to vote no on S1108!
Also please consider a contribution of $5, $25 or $50 to help us activate other Idahoans to preserve our rights!
Click here to donate today!
If S1108 passes, it will become that much easier for our lawmakers and government officials to ignore the will of the people. It will also make so hard to get an initiative on the ballot - only well-funded and highly organized groups could afford to engage in the initiative process.
Stop the GOP legislators and powerful interest groups from taking away our constitutional rights! Your contribution will help make a difference. Click here to donate today!

Rape Survivor Demands House GOP Stop Blocking Protections for WomenSubmitted by MeAndG on Fri, 03/01/2013 - 10:11pm.
Over 142,000 Join MoveOn.org Petition Urging Congress to Pass the Violence Against Women Act Now
In a new petition on MoveOn.org's online petition website SignOn.org, Sheila Thomas, a rape survivor from Dayton, Ohio urges Congress to extend the Violence Against Women Act. The Act was first introduced in 1994, and strengthened federal penalties for repeat sex offenders, mandated that women don't have to pay for their own rape exams, and helped communities develop law enforcement units dedicated to violence against women. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was allowed to expire in 2011, but yesterday the Senate voted to reauthorize the bill. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives where Republican members of Congress have been holding up a vote.
In the petition, which has been signed by over 142,000 people so far, Sheila Thomas shares a very personal story about her experiences and the importance of reauthorizing VAWA.
"In 1983, I was a victim of rape at gunpoint," explained Sheila. "My rapist had already raped four women in my community, I was his fifth victim. He has never been captured. At the time, I was a single mother of a five-year old daughter and attending a local community college."
Sheila continued,
"The failure of Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act makes me feel like I'm being victimized all over again; this time, by the very people we sent to Washington DC. I'm angered that those same people will have the audacity ask us to send them back in the upcoming elections. Well, I don't think so. No one asks to be raped. No one asks to be a victim of a violent crime. It feels like our rights as women--as human beings--are not being respected, and that we are being ignored."
Sheila, a Dayton resident, is also a Community College instructor and a proud mother and grandmother.
Ann Romney has not gotten over losing the electionSubmitted by MeAndG on Fri, 03/01/2013 - 12:23pm.
"Fox News has bagged the first interview with the Romneys since President Obama's convincing victory in November, and the conservative-leaning network has offered a sneak preview to whet the appetite of political junkies and Romney fans," writes Ryan Spaeth. "In an interview with Politico, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace says Mitt has taken his defeat in stride, but his wife Ann "feels the pain and the what-ifs and the hurt more than he does." Wallace adds, "There's a lot of emotion that comes through in the interview, and she's more open about it — the 'what might have been.'"

Waste Not, Want Not: Solid Waste Management and Wastewater TreatmentSubmitted by MeAndG on Thu, 02/28/2013 - 5:48pm.
Changing regulations and the prospect of fewer federal dollars mean wastewater treatment and solid waste management are critical concerns for today's city planners, commercial developers, elected officials and facilities operators nationwide. That's why the University of Idaho's President's Sustainability Symposium is focusing on "Community Stewardship For Economic Benefits: Wastewater Treatment and Waste Management" on March 19-20.
Registration is now open for the two-day event, for which the University of Idaho is partnering with North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene and the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls to host the symposium on their campuses.
"Our goal is for people to leave the conference with new ideas and names of people to call for more information," said Priscilla Salant, event organizer and director of the University of Idaho's Office of Community Partnerships. "We want to connect communities with the resources that will help them make informed decisions."
The symposium will be offered both in Coeur d'Alene and Twin Falls, which will be connected by video-conference. Participants can attend at either location, which allows for high quality presentations and networking opportunities for people across the state.
The main portion of the conference will occur on Wednesday, March 20 and is designed for local and state decision makers responsible for managing infrastructure and services. Attendees will explore upcoming wastewater treatment and solid-waste management trends, high- and low-tech solutions and financing options. read more »
6 Reasons Why Prop 37 Is Not A FailureSubmitted by MeAndG on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 9:45am.
California voters rejected Prop 37, which would have required retailers and food companies to label products made with genetically modified ingredients, according to Huffington Post.
Millions of dollars, mostly from outside of California, were poured into campaigns both for and against Prop 37. But the donations that came in weighed heavily in favor of Prop 37's opponents.
Companies like Monsanto and The Hershey Co. contributed to what was eventually a $44 million windfall for "No on Prop 37," while proponents were only able to raise $7.3 million, reports California Watch.
Nontheless, Leslie Stoddard, co-founder of GMO Free Idaho, offers six "reasons why we are STILL winning!"
#1 – California Right to Know and Yes on Prop 37 raised $7.3 million in support of GM labeling. When you put into perspective that No on Prop 37 spent $45 million to defeat this initiative it makes you realize just how much everyone's hard work really paid off. What would the "initial" results have looked like if Yes on Prop 37 had raised $45 million? It would have been a blow out! This my friends, is the power of grassroots! This is the power of TRUTH! And this is NOT defeat.
#2 – The entire country united for this cause, including many Idahoans who attended a screening of Genetic Roulette and helped to raise $400 for the Yes on Prop 37 campaign. States from the East and West did their part in raising GMO awareness and making contributions to this campaign by donating and phone banking. If only there was a way to count how many people heard the term GMO for the first time just because of this initiative. So, not only did the nation unite, but Prop 37 opened the eyes of countless individuals who will take into consideration what they are putting in their mouths. Big win here!
#3 – During the Yes on Prop 37 campaign a coalition of 23 states (and counting) was formed. This coalition is dedicated to providing support for each state that plans to pursue a legislative measure or ballot initiative (like Idaho plans to do). We have been sharing ideas, making calls to action, and helping to build the numbers in each state. I'd like to see Monsanto drop $8 million in 23 states at one time when each state decides to roll out their own labeling legislation. The labeling initiative in California was critical to the formation of this coalition…..Winning!
#4 - Two nationwide campaigns have been launched in lieu of Prop 37. The first is GMO Inside, a campaign to "show corporations that people will not complacently serve as lab rats for the testing of genetically engineered foods." And to "ultimately boycott the companies that want to keep us from knowing what's in our food. Hitting their bottom line is the only way we can collectively make a significant change to our food system without legislation."
The second is the Know GMO Project, a campaign that will "collectively create a GMO free society" by targeting local food producers to source non-GMO ingredients and by doing so in a positive manner. Many food producers, like many consumers, are completely unaware of GMOs. Many businesses don't even know that they are sourcing GM ingredients. "By targeting "mid-level" food producers to enact these non-GMO changes, we can push GMOs off the market without necessarily having to purse labeling laws." The Know GMO Project has launched phase 1 of 3 of their campaign and we are encouraged to use their non-GMO meme generator to spread awareness on social media sites.
These campaigns will continue the work of Prop 37 and contribute to the tipping point that will push GMOs off our plates and our consumer markets.
#5 – As you might have heard after viewing Genetic Roulette, the sales of Non-GMO Project Verified products have increased by 217% in just ONE year! Consumers have spoken and as of now 1.2 million signatures have been submitted to the FDA, through the Just Label It campaign, demanding that GMOs be labeled. I don't think I have to tell you, it's only a matter of time before we have GMO labeling in some way or another.
#6 – Even if Prop 37′s "final" results prove to not be enough for a victory, the "Right to Know" movement will not stop. Prop 37 was the start of something BIG and this initiative is proof that we cannot be bought and we cannot be broken. The truth will prevail and our consumer rights will be restored. The non-GMO movement is a holistic movement. It's about preserving what is sacred. It's about bringing communities together. It's about nourishing our loved ones. And it's about leaving a legacy for our future. We have our war paint on and what determined warriors we are! Is this battle easy? No. If it was, would it be worth fighting for?
As Woodrow Wilson said, "The history of liberty, is a history of resistance." We are the resistance and history will be made, one way or another.
My heart goes out to everyone for their passion and hard work on Yes on Prop 37. Nothing is more fulfilling than being part of this movement and bringing our communities together. I thank each and everyone of you!
Here's to being GMO free!

Idaho Dems Call to Defend the Initiative ProcessSubmitted by MeAndG on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 2:43pm.
Michelle Stennett
Idaho Democratic lawmakers are calling on all Idahoans to help stop Senate Bill 1108, which will weaken our constitutional right to petition our government.
S. 1108 comes just months after voters went to the polls and rejected the Luna Laws. This bill damages urban and rural areas alike by raising the bar to place initiatives or referenda on the ballot. Idaho voters need a voice. This tool allows voters to check legislative power. Idahoans have a history of using this power wisely. As Sen. Michelle Stennett said: "This bill is part of a troubling trend that makes it easier for lawmakers and government officials to ignore the will of the people."
Call, write, email, or visit your legislators and tell them you didn't send them to the Idaho Capitol to take your voice away!
Statement Regarding Voting Rights/Initiative Process Read at Feb. 20 Press Conference by Senate Minority Leader Michelle Stennett:
Idahoans only have a few ways to directly participate in the democratic process: testifying before committees, through an initiative or referendum, and by voting.
Idaho Democratic lawmakers are united in our strong opposition to any effort that will impede the People's constitutional right to directly petition their state government. We stand aligned with the people of Idaho in protecting our constitutional voting and initiative rights.
Today, we call on Idahoans of all political affiliations to speak out against Senate bill 1108.
This bill is part of a troubling trend that makes it easier for lawmakers and government officials to ignore the will of the people.
Right now, this trend is playing out in the Legislature in a variety of ways.
Idaho Democrats have introduced a slate of bills, the VOTE Initiative, seeking to modernize and make our voting system easier for Idahaons to access. Four of those bills have been dismissed by the majority. Only two of those bills remain alive: the Online Registration Act awaits a hearing and the Early Voting Opportunity Act is being modified to create an incentive for counties to set up additional early voting centers.
We introduced the VOTE Initiative bills because Idaho Democrats listened to voters. They asked us to make voting more convenient for people who have to work. A new generation of voters asked us to utilize modern tools and allow Idahoans to register to vote online or register at the same time they get their driver's licenses.
As you can see, those bills have received a chilly reception from the supermajority in the Legislature.
HB 176 would prevent Idahoans who are living overseas from voting in their local elections, unless they are servicemen and women. This bill discourages Idahoans from being active members of their communities and simply takes away their right to vote.
Last November, 370,000 Idahoans rejected the top-down education mandates commonly called the Luna Laws.
Idaho Democrats heard the message: Idahoans value their children's futures. Idahoans do not believe their children get a World Class education when teachers are silenced and bullied. Idaho parents want a voice in the policies that shape education—they don't want dictates from lawmakers.
Because we listen to voters, Idaho Democrats also endorsed Gov. Otter's wise decision to create an education task force to look at those failed laws and to give parents, students, educators and local people a say in how our children are educated.
Just a couple months after voters soundly rejected them, the Luna Laws are back as a series of bills that resurrect Proposition 1. This is the same legislative process that the People rejected in November.
Not only is this Legislature ignoring the People, but Senate Bill 1108 seeks to restrict the People's ability to reject bad legislation, such as the Luna Laws, and ensure that the majority Party need not face such a stunning rebuke of their process and policies in the future.
Idaho voters must be allowed to exercise their constitutional right to petition their government. They have every right to expect that their elected officials will listen to them or pay the price at the polls. They must have access to an initiative and referendum process that gives them a loud voice in the laws that they must live by.
Idaho Democrats will dedicate ours efforts to defeating these pieces of legislation and assure that the voice of the People is not stifled. But we cannot do this alone. We call on every citizen of our state to contact your legislators. Write letters, send emails, make phone calls, or come on over and meet with your legislators. Make your voice heard loud and clear. Tell your legislator that you do not want a handful of politicians to take away your rights to participate in the governance of our great state. Demand that they listen to you.
Idaho Democrats have heard you. We're working for you. And we're asking for your help to make sure your voice is not silenced.

The Stig versus the Mercedes SLS Black
Our tame racing driver gets sideways in the very maddest Merc before a road trip to AMG headquarters…
Posted: 13 Dec 2013
There is no entrance gate as such – you drive straight into the midst of smart factory buildings. A thousand people are employed here, but I'm only interested in finding one: Sunday Jonathan. The man whose name adorns 'my' engine. Sunday's done a fine job, I reflect, as we park by a likely looking security hut. The V8 has run faultlessly, failed to flash a single warning light and been beyond addictive, so, well done, Sunday. Funny name, mind you.

"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"I absolutely love the Monogram at the top and the design was perfect. It matched our wedding colors exactly. Wedding Paper Divas even switched to the color we requested prior to ordering and it shipped in 3-5 days. Awesome company!!"
"Could not be happier with this product or the service I received during the ordering and review process. We added multiple customized features, which were all implemented beautifully. The picture we chose printed clear and consistently."
"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT! I was planning to do my own invitations but when I saw the price of wedding paper divas I was amazed! I was worried they wouldn't be the best quality for what I paid for such a cool design, but they are awesome! I have had so many compliments from the people I have showed. I had two things personally changed on the RSVP card and they were great with my personalized requests! They sent me my proof right away! I ordered my invites on a Wednesday, and the NEXT Tuesday I had them at my front step! LESS THAN A WEEK! Great Service!"

EyeToy Groove - PS2
4.5 out of 5 Pocket-lint recommended
Entirely dance oriented EyeToy use
Best enjoyed while drunk (if you're grown up)
Following the recent release of EyeToy Play, the latest development for the camera is EyeToy Groove, which as the name suggests, will have you off your bum and dancing in the living room. Again, like the first EyeToy game, this is a well thought out and highly polished product. Basically your living room is transported into the games as you boogie to a range of funky tracks.
In the basic game mode you dance as displayed on the screen - in essence it's a whole lot of waving your arms around, but there is some style to it. Mid-track there is usually a freestyle section, where you get the chance to strut your stuff unguided, whilst the PS2 records you. You can then playback the short clips later - to much drunken mocking from your friends no doubt, or as good practice for getting out there on the pull. The main game is fun, but it was the other features where we got really excited.
Also included on the disc are a number of music videos, which you can play in full - great as a party background or if you are lacking MTV. You can also select to just have music tracks playing continuously and a reactive environment on the screen, so you can set it up, playing music, and people can boogie away, with a load of visual effects. It seems that Groove has been invented with the house party in mind, as this is a great way of doing something interesting with your TV, without people getting sucked into watching Eastenders when they should be celebrating your birthday.

Today's temperature for the Cubs-Expos game in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is 86 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. The Weather Channel says it feels like 93, but I can't confirm this -- I'm two levels below ground in the Tribune Tower.
The thermometer here says it is 76. It feels like 76, but I'm not the Weather Channel so it's not official.
the Bears. I will try to relieve better than Mark Guthrie did last night.
I will be following the game on a 10-year-old television on my desk. I have been angling for a new television but have been unsuccessful. Maybe this public plea will help or get me reprimanded. I would listen in on the radio broadcast, but last time I tried, we couldn't get WGN-AM 720 down here even though the Michigan Avenue WGN studio is right above us.
The start of the game is nearing. Mark Prior is on the mound for the Cubs. Prior, who turned 23 Sunday, takes a seven-game winning streak, a 15-5 record and a 2.41 earned-run average into the game. Starting for the Expos is righty Tomo Ohka. He is 8-12, 4.71
Feel free to use the e-mail form on the right to drop me a line.
Dennis from Rochester, Minnesota, writes in to tell me that this is how Ronald Reagan got his startby doing the play-by-play from a ticker tape. Thanks, for the note Dennis. I will invite you up to WGN's TV booth in a few years.
The Cubs-Expos game is being delayed by rain.
Houston's Jim Compton, a lost Chicagoan, writes that I am his eyes to the game. Jim, let's hope this doesn't turn into one of those marathon rain delays because I am getting married in three weeks and my future wife has signed us up for dance classes tonight. I see a potential storm here in Chicago if the rain in Puerto Rico doesn't stop.
E-mail me some ideas for first-dance songs.
Steve from Chicago asks when does it rain in Puerto Rico? Steve, the Cubs are leaving Puerto Rico just in time as a hurricane is forecasted to come into the area in three to four days.
Louisiana's Brad Tyler suggestion would be "On the Wings of Love" by Billy Ocean. He also asks how my future wife would like the last name "Gugger." Brad, she doesn't like it at all. She is disturbed by all the G's.
Brad from Chicago asks me what I am going to do if my wedding conflicts with a Cubs playoff game? Brad, I will be on my honeymoon in Hawaii watching the Cubs.
First Inning
Tom Goodwin hit the first pitch of the game into right field for a single. Womack strikes out. Goodwin gets caught stealing. He was out easily. Not a very impressive steal attempt there. Sammy Sosa reaches on an error and advances to second on a wild pitch. Moises Alou flies out to end the inning.
Looking at the Cubs' lineup, at least I won't have to spell "G-R-U-D-Z-I-E-L-A-N-E-K" as he isn't starting.
Cubs 0, Expos 0
Ross from California writes that Goodwin got his hit for the day and asks if the Cubs should pull him. Ross, did you write this before or after that steal attempt by Goodwin?
Prior retires Brad Wilkerson, Endy Chavez singles and Orlando Cabrera flies out. Vladimir Guerrero hits a foul ball that Eric Karros catches to end the inning.

Far Cry 3â?²s Outpost App Lets You Log On As You Log On
A few months before Far Cry 3 was released, I was given a glimpse at the multiplayer and a social network phone application that would let you fiddle with the main game's weapons. Then the game came out and there was nothing of the sort included. I got paranoid, presuming it to be part of a conspiracy. To what end? I imagined that when the game came out and it didn't arrive, people wouldn't trust anything I said about phones ever again. Then one day I'd be beaten, left for dead, and a bystander would run up and ask me if I needed help? I'd tell them to call for an ambulance, but they'd say: 'You're the guy that said I could use my phone to unlock guns in Far Cry 3â?²s multiplayer, you don't get to use my phone anymore.' They'd put their phone away and no ambulance would ever come. Ubisoft released the damn app last night. I unlocked my bunker door, sacked my bodyguard, and came out of hiding. To celebrate, here's the trailer for the app.

When is the time to treat crab grass?
By Kathy Huber | February 21, 2010
Q: Is late winter/early spring the ideal time to treat for crab grass? — S.K., Houston
A: Apply a pre-emergent herbicide in late winter to discourage seed germination. Ask your nurseryman to recommend products that won't harm shrubs/flowers or St. Augustine if treating a lawn. You might consider using corn gluten meal as an organic preventative. It's also a nitrogen fertilizer.

Editorial: Instead of fixing air issues, Texas sues EPA - again
HOUSTON CHRONICLE | September 26, 2011 | Updated: September 26, 2011 6:40pm
Photo By Pat Sullivan/AP
FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2010 file photo, refineries and chemical plants release steam near the Houston ship channel. Texas and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are fighting over permitting and other bureaucratic issues, a battle that environmentalists, state regulators and the EPA agree puts human health and the environment at risk.
Last week, Texas sued the Environmental Protection Agency, yet again, for having the temerity to ask it, yet again, to stop poisoning our air. So, yet again, we ask the state to stop stonewalling and clean up its act - and our air.
As reported by the Chronicle, the new Cross-State Air Pollution Rule requires Texas and 26 other states to cut sulfur dioxide and nitrogen-oxide emissions by installing modern pollution controls in their aging power plants. So Texas, home to 19 coal-fired power plants, the most in the nation, filed another lawsuit.
Originally, Texas was required only to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, but the final ruling, in July, required it also to cut sulfur dioxide. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office protested that the state did not have time to comply with the ruling, due to take effect Jan. 1, and that it would result in loss of jobs and service interruptions.
This latest suit comes on the heels of one filed the previous week by Luminant Generation Co., the state's largest provider of electricity, which claimed that it will be forced to close several facilities and cut 500 jobs to comply with the ruling.
Then, last Friday, the House of Representatives joined the fray, passing a measure to delay the ruling and set up a mechanism to analyze the impact of several other EPA rulings - a move that will likely delay the ruling for several years.
EPA administrator Lisa Jackson told lawmakers that passage of the vote would "weaken or destroy our ability to address those toxic pollutants" and put at risk thousands of lives every year. She declared that the rule would cause no service disruptions, and that no such problems have arisen in 40 years of EPA rulings.
Also, utilities have until March 2013, not Jan. 1 2012, to comply. The bill faces problems in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and President Barack Obama has threatened a veto if necessary. But, in spite of EPA projections that cleaner air would save lives, create jobs and save about $100 billion a year, it's still "Groundhog Day" in Texas.

|Reviews for Witch
| FamishedNight chapter 1 . 10/6/2012
| ArishaSmile chapter 17 . 11/21/2011
I loved it. It took up all my thoughts all day today. So I went ahead and got up in the AMs to finish it. Can't wait till I read the next part _
| Azurerose chapter 17 . 3/26/2010
Your story is lovely. I'm amazed that you don't have more reviews. I have read Witch and Ambassador twice because I think it is an excellent fantasy/romance. I loved the changes in time so that we understand the history of how Arkin and Sela grew up. They both have their own personalities and faults which makes them much more interesting. I like you emphasized the contrast the morals of Sela from the rest of the court. Additionally, I love the worlds you created. I think it takes lots of creativity and hard work to develop different worlds. Great Job!
I can see how you grew as a writer in Ambassador because the plot got more complex. I always wondered why Sela could spend so much time with Arkin. Interesting, how many people were players in the story although we didn't always see them.
| Ijo chapter 10 . 12/28/2009
I really like how you portray Court in this story. It seems much more real than in many stories that I have read. They have etiquette and act like couriers should. It seems authentic. The fan signals are creative, too.
| Ijo chapter 6 . 12/28/2009
This is definitely a favorite. I have so far enjoyed the story. It's different from what I assumed would be a cliched plot. The story itself is great, but there are a few things you need to work on. The story is rushed in places. You don't allow the leader immerse themselves in something. Sela frees those prisoners very quickly, too quickly. You mention a few problems that arose during that time but only in passing. It was like you added their complaints and disagreements just because you felt you had to. It didn't seem very real, as a reader I didn't become absorbed in the situation. Also, you don't really describe the magic. I can't picture how it works-I have an idea but nothing definite. The first chapter was a bit confusing with lots of hints and allusions but nothing definite. Although, the following chapters cleared many things up. I know that his is 'COMPLETE' but I would suggest an edit or a re-write where you take the time to really show what happens. Add a bit of detail and so forth. The escape of the prisoners was so fast and easy I just didn't find myself believing it. Otherwise so far it's a great story. I hope you continue writing. I'll review on a later chapter.
| i-wish-i-had-wings chapter 17 . 9/20/2009
amazing story! i don't really know what to think about arkin, other than that he is a real asshole. sela is just so cool, rescuing those prisoners..i would have wished that she didn't end up back with him again.
| aureliasilver chapter 16 . 6/24/2009
I found myself clicking on the next button even when I reached the last chapter...and I was like...NO. It cant end here...
| Harmonic Discord chapter 1 . 5/29/2009
I really liked your beginning. You set up the world you've created well, the rules of the monarchy and the prince's control. Your main character is believable. The fan gestures are a wonderful touch - really original! Your narrator has a good tone; I like that she's stubborn but not stupidly so. She knows her place and how not to cross boundaries, but she knows what she wants. Good job.
I could have used more description in the beginning I think, in regards to setting (I was a little confused about their location at first). If you wanted, you could add more initial exposition to explain background - it's not necessary though, since I got the general gist as I was reading. I also felt that the narrator's annoyance could have come through a bit more about the weeping girl in the very beginning, not necessarily through dialogue but through the stiffness of her actions, etc. The fan gestures are good - maybe extend those a little, white knuckles or something?
Overall, great beginning - looking forward to reading more!
| sugaplumprincess chapter 17 . 5/22/2009
I really liked this story, even though I also think it's a great example of why absolute monarchies are a bad idea. Arkin is and was such a brat! I'm surprised he paid enough attention to the outside world to let someone go and fix the roads. Sela was essentially the only person he was nice to and so I could see why she fell in love with him, I was also proud of her for standing up to him when he was a jerk. I also really liked your description of magic, how it's like a tapestry and spells are woven, that was great imagery!
One thing that bothered me though, we never really found out what the political prisoners at the beginning had done. Sela said she identified with them, so I think it's implied that they refused to serve the crown, but I wish that part had been a bit clearer.
| A.Woody chapter 17 . 4/9/2009
hey i really like your story but there is one thing i'm a little confused about, and that is what excactly did the prisoners that Sela set free do?
| Sabreal chapter 2 . 2/13/2009
ah! I'm falling in love with this story! When I was first reading this, i was like okay...a flashback to when she first met arkin but then the vivid description and the single possessive whisper arkin says after demanding her to sleep by him sent shivers down my spine. Love it! Love it! Love it!
| Sabreal chapter 1 . 2/13/2009
this first chapter was positively entrancing. I really enjoyed that! I hope I continue to do so as I progress with this remarkable story if yours...
| swishfish chapter 1 . 1/18/2009
I loved the story! Can't wait for the next chapter in the sequel!
| Narc chapter 9 . 1/18/2009
More reviewing for the review game! There's a link to it in my profile.
I've been wondering how everyone back at the palace had reacted to what she did, so I'm glad this scene was in here. Avigdor was a good choice of characters to relay that information. I have to wonder, though, that since Arkin practically dared her to do it what he'll do. If the army really was going to come arrest her, wouldn't he object?
I didn't even realize that she assumed the people -didn't- know who she was. I always assumed they did know, so that reveal wasn't particularly effective.
It was a little weird how she suddenly thought of the fact that Eri might want to marry her. It seemed like the sort of thing she would have thought of earlier.
| Narc chapter 8 . 1/18/2009
Good chapter. I like how the two storylines are beginning to converge, as her past storyline is going much quicker than the present. It's fun to find out explanations about the little things. The relationship between her and Arkin, the necklance she wears, etc. You've done a really good job showing their relationship develop into what it is in the present story. I'm hoping to see where she gets her more political view from.
The ball scene was a little too long, I felt. There just seemed to be too many young men that all acted pretty much the same and blended together. Ramone, Elliot, Lars ... there's just not a lot to differentiate them and the subsequent dances didn't seem to add any much more to the plot or character development.

Mickey Lewis urges United not to slacked up after the goal, in his expected last game as caretaker boss
David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458 / / SportFollow @@OxfordMailOUFC
Oxford United will unveil their new manager at a press conference arranged for this afternoon.
Chairman Ian Lenagan offered the position to the club's chosen candidate, who remains un-named, yesterday afternoon and received a verbal acceptance.
It is believed the contract has now been formally signed and the new man will meet the media at 2pm, before beginning preparations for Monday's away game at Southend United.
Caretaker boss Mickey Lewis took charge of the side for last night's 1-0 win against Hartlepool United, but he backed out of the final interviews earlier this week.
The 49-year-old, will remain at the club with the existing coaching staff, but despite United struggling for results in the last month, Lenagan thanked him for the work he had done.
He said: "We have lost some opportunities, but I don't regret doing the decent thing.
"That was giving Mickey Lewis an opportunity, because he is Oxford through and through.
"The players responded very well at the beginning to Mickey, but we've had some bad luck and played some very good teams.
"Who's to say we would have beaten those teams anyway?
"But it was obvious we needed to do something a while ago."
Lenagan would not give any clues on the identity of the appointment at the end of a week when Exeter's Paul Tisdale and Accrington boss James Beattie were linked with the post.
He said: "I'm very happy with where we are. I wish I could name who it was but that's inappropriate until the contract is signed."
United have come in for some criticism over taking more than 50 days to make a decision.
On Monday, the supporters trust OxVox called for a decision to be made by this weekend.

Lenagan defended the path the club had gone down, but had no problem with the demands from fans.
"I haven't felt pressure from supporters, because that's their job.
"It's their job to have a go, but you have to learn to ignore that because you get the five or ten per cent extreme views.
"I think I've earned the right with Oxford fans to allow me to follow the business process of employing people.
"There's a pressure to perform on a chairman as well as everything else, but you just have to stick to your guns.
"We have done the process and we feel great at the end of it."

Update: Lenagan to name new United manager this afternoon
All the money on Kevin Keen........hopefull
I don't know why but when I was looking at the betting for this about 3 weeks ago someone was listed that I did not recognise so I looked further into him on the net. Eric Black and I have to say that I thought that he is exactly the type of person that IL seems to be after.
I'd be semi gutted though as he was 50/1!
Could be a good appointment if so.

The idea of family heirlooms spanning generations and forming cobwebs of history is exotic in an Indiana Jones context - except the frequent reality is that all those boxes up in the attic contain nothing more than Grandpa's fraternity flask and Aunt Dottie's knitting needles.
Occasionally, though, there really are some treasures.
In Willimantic's Warehouse Gallery on a recent afternoon, with brittle winter sunshine angling through the windows, several items laid out on tables made up hundreds of years' worth of heirlooms from the intertwined Woodin and Caldwell families - whose members, over the years, have lived in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, including Old Saybrook.
The gallery houses Eldridge Auctions, and the pieces are part of a collection that will be go up for bid on Saturday.
"This is one of the bigger events we'll have over the course of a year or two," said Ernie Eldridge, who owns the business with his wife, Anita. "There are just some very nice pieces in this collection - but it's more than that. Occasionally, you'll see a collection that tells a great family story and sets down a history."
The Woodins and Caldwells were connected in the late 1800s when Sylvia Woodin married Frederick Caldwell in Toledo, Ohio.
Wandering through the facility, among examples of Chippendale and Sheridan furniture, silverware, muskets and weaponry, archival letters, journals and a ship's log, one is drawn to a glass-topped case of framed ancestral photographs and, in particular, a carved powder horn that belonged to American colonist Timothy Woodin. He carried the horn at the Second Battle of Fort Carillon - now known as Fort Ticonderoga - during the French and Indian War.
Looking at the powder horn and holding a thumb and index finger a few inches apart to demonstrate proximity, Steve Femiak, owner of Thames Import Co. in Niantic, said, "This horn is just this far from being a national treasure. When you think of the importance of the French and Indian War - it changed the way wars were fought and had a profound influence on George Washington, for example - something like this takes on added significance beyond just family history."
Femiak originally was contacted by the seller of the Woodin/Caldwell material, who wishes to remain anonymous. After examining the material with a colleague, Joan Bucko, Femiak knew it was a special collection.
"I couldn't have handled an auction of this size," Femiak said, "so I recommended Ernie, who's been a friend for years."
As the Eldridges began to assemble and organize the Woodin/Caldwell components and tangential material - auctioneers frequently compile from more than one source to round out any given event - it became apparent there were a lot of threads to the Woodin/Caldwell items. Bucko stepped in and provided research and documentation and was astounded by the unique context.
For example, on another table is an arrangement of photos, a journal, letters and a sword - all of which belonged to or were written by Commodore Charles Henry Bromedge Caldwell during the Civil War. In 1862, Caldwell led Union troops in a mission to remove chains blocking the Mississippi - an action that allowed Northern forces to capture New Orleans.
Yet another similar set of items - newspaper clippings, photographs, military IDs, uniforms and certificates - recount the efforts of Lt. Frederic Wyllys Caldwell, a World War I Army pilot.
After Caldwell perished in a crash in 1921, his sister, Dorothy Caldwell, began to archive materials from her brother's life. Her efforts branched out into an entire history of the two families. She gathered personal memorabilia from generations, then verified them historically through a variety of sources.
"It became clear that there was an extraordinary history here," Bucko said. "Dorothy kept meticulous records, and what we have are records that demonstrate there were family representatives in every major American war until 1921. Moreover, all of these people were individually very interesting and had fascinating lives. Together, it's astounding."
What: Public auction featuring items from the Woodin/Caldwell family collection
When: 9 a.m. Saturday
Where: Warehouse Gallery, 90 S. Park St., Willimantic

Add the Denver Nuggets to the list of teams allegedly interested in the services of Kevin Garnett. But according to Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post – Garnett has no love for Denver: Kevin Garnett is everything the Nuggets need. Heck, his scowl alone is more intimidating in the post than all 21 feet of center on Denver's roster. So what's the problem with pushing the idea of a blockbuster trade between Denver and Boston? Wielding the hammer of a no-trade clause, K.G. wants nothing to do with the Nuggets. Through his representatives, Garnett has let it be known he has no current interest in the Nuggets. That's why it's pointless to discuss if the Nuggets' main chip in a trade proposal would be Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Faried or Danilo Gallinari. At 31-18, the Nuggets are the 5th seed in the Western Conference. They're a good, young team with big upside. Would KG be enough to push them past San Antonio and OKC in the west? Let's play along and see who on the Nuggets roster might interest...
