2013-2014 Season Preview: No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats
Oct 31, 2013, 9:00 AM EDT
All month long, CBT will be rolling out our 2013-2014 season preview. Check back throughout the day, as we'll be posting three or four preview items every day.
To browse through the preview posts we've already published, click here. The rest of our Top 25 Countdown can be found here. For a schedule of our previews for the month, click here.
Last Season: 21-12, 12-6 SEC (t-2nd); Lost to Robert Morris in the first round of the NIT
Head Coach: John Calipari (5th season at Kentucky: 123-26 overall, 52-14 SEC)
Key Losses: Archie Goodwin, Ryan Harrow, Kyle Wiltjer, Julius Mays
Newcomers: Julius Randle, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, James Young, Dakari Johnson, Marcus Lee, Derek Willis, Dominique Hawkins, E.J. Floreal
Projected Lineup
– G: Andrew Harrison, Fr.
– G: Aaron Harrison, Fr.
– F: James Young, Fr.
– F: Julius Randle, Fr.
– C: Willie Cauley-Stein, So.
– Bench: Dakari Johnson, Fr.; Marcus Lee, Fr.; Derek Willis, Fr.; Alex Poythress, So.; Jarrod Polson, Sr.
They'll be good because …: Kentucky is just so ridiculously talented. I don't care if every relevant player on the roster is a freshman or a sophomore because there are eight players on this team that could one day end up being a lottery pick. Seriously. Think about that for a second. Have we ever seen a recruiting class as strong as the one that Coach Cal landed this season? Have we ever seen a team amass quite the amount of talent that Kentucky has amassed this year?
It starts with Julius Randle, a powerful, athletic lefty that will overwhelm just about every opposing big man he faces this season. He's also capable of crossing people over 20 feet from the basket and dunking on them. The Harrison twins form a big back court as talented as anyone. James Young has already got NBA scouts drooling over his scoring ability. And between the other four big men on the roster, there is more size and athleticism than most programs see in a decade. Even the unheralded Derek Willis has spent the preseason getting praised for his skill level.
NBA teams might as well get a six month lease on an apartment in Lexington for the season. When there is that much NBA talent on a roster, it's hard not to win a lot of games.
But they might disappoint because …: There are two major concerns for this Kentucky team. The first is their perimeter depth. Outside of the Harrisons and Young, there really aren't any guards on the roster. I love Jarrod Polson, but if Kentucky is going to go undefeated this season, he won't be playing many minutes. Alex Poythress has a ton of talent and potential, but he's likely the first perimeter player off the bench, and he's not a perimeter player. That could become a problem if there are injuries or foul trouble.
The bigger issue, however, is how this team ends up coming together. All that youthful talent is impressive, but it overlooks just how valuable contributions from veterans like Josh Harrellson, Patrick Patterson and Darius Miller have been over the years. There's also the issue of overcrowding. There are only so many minutes, particularly in the front court, and so many shots to go around. Will a roster full of alpha males with one eye keeping tabs on their NBA Draft stock be willing to accept a secondary role?
Outlook: Kentucky won the 2012 National Title with a roster that was chock full of talented freshmen and sophomores. Their two best players, the top two picks in the NBA Draft, were both in their first season of college ball when they led the Wildcats to title No. 8. But what people forget about Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is that while they were "stars", they did so by excelling as glorified role players. Anyone that has ever paid attention to a Coach Cal press conference has heard him talk about the fact that while that 2012 team produced the No. 1 and No. 2 pick in the draft, they were fourth and fifth on Kentucky in shots taken.
Well, Davis was a defensive presence in the paint first and foremost, scoring quite a few of his points off of dunks that came via an alley-oop or an offensive rebound. He didn't need the ball in his hands and he didn't need plays called for him. The same can be said for Kidd-Gilchrist, who was that team's junkyard dog. He defended, he rebounded, he provided a physical presence. He was a glue guy that just so happened to be an insanely talented basketball player.
Does this group have enough guys willing to accept a role and play their part, even if it means they won't have the ball in their hands in crunch time? Even if it means that they only get 12 minutes a game? The chemistry on this team is what will be the determining factor in how far this group ends up going.

this is the most honest well written article on this year's UK team. Thank you kind sir.

Dominique Hawkins is a poor man's Eric Bledsoe. Very similar body types (both are built like running backs) and skill sets (when Eric was a freshman). If something were to happen to one of the Harrison twins or Young, Lil Hawk is more than capable of running the offense or playing off the ball. Don't sleep on him.

Coinciding with the relaunch of its newsletter the Diggers' Forum is holding an online survey of travel and away work in British commercial archaeology. The survey addresses two of the big 'unknowns' in commercial archaeology: the amount of travel and driving we all do, and the amount of away work and its affect on our lives and careers. The survey is relevant to anyone working in UK archaeology who works on site, even if you don't work away from home.
The survey is held online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/diggersforumtravelsurvey and should take 15–20 minutes, depending on how much you want to say! There is ample opportunity to add personal views and experiences.
The survey will be accessible for the next two months, we'll also be sending out a survey to employers so that we can see the situation in the round. We will analyse the results and get them out via the Diggers' Forum newsletter. We hope the survey will give us a valid picture of travel and away work in UK archaeology based on the experiences of fieldworkers. This should allow us to see where there is good practice, where there is room for improvement, and where we may be able to campaign to raise the bar.
Please pass on details of the survey to colleagues and friends, the more of you that fill it out, the better the picture we will have!

One thing I am not seeing here that helps is PRAISE when the dog potties outside. Verbal praise, cookies, pets, whatever the dog likes. Generally, dogs are highly motivated to please, and if you reward them immediately for doing whatever it is that you want them to do, in this case potty on command outside, that positive reinforcement will help them learn much more quickly. Once they know what on earth it is that you want, they're happy to oblige. This also teaches them to go on command, even if they don't really 'have' to go at the moment. Having a dog that will do so is VERY handy on trips, etc. Some dogs, especially if they're new to the household, are too anxious and worried about being locked outside to actually go out into the yard to potty and just sit by the door wanting back in when they're new and in training too.
With a young adult dog, they can physically hold their bladder for 8 hours give or take, but you have to teach them that is what you want before you can even begin to expect it. When not directly supervised in the house (as in, eyes-on-the-dog), the dog should be confined either with a leash, a kennel, or a pen just like a puppy. I also recommend picking up their water bowl overnight and feeding/last water at least an hour before bed. Take her out right when she wakes up and when you get home, right before bed, and 15-60 minutes or so after eating or playing as those are the times dogs tend to need to go anyway, so you can 'catch her in the act' and reward her for doing the right thing. Other than that, every hour or three should be fine if she's actually going when you take her out.
If they do go in the house, that is you, the human, at fault for giving them a chance to mess up. I have retrained more than one dog that had been disciplined (nose in poop, a stern talking to, etc, what counts as punishment varies depending on the sensitivity of the dog) for messing in the house, and the only thing they had learned was that it was bad to potty where a human would see them, so they got better at sneaking off to potty. If you catch them in the act, immediately take them outside of course. If they pottied a half hour ago, they're not going to connect that with getting kicked outside for "punishment." All they know is "human saw a mess, I got punished, best not mess where humans will find it."
People are good at saying "No, don't do that" with dogs, but not nearly as good at the "Yes! Good dog! Keep doing that" (in this case, when they potty outside) part of the equation. Yes, this does mean that you need to go outside with the dog while you're training them. I have never had any of my foster dogs take more than two weeks to 100% potty train this way unless there was an underlying medical issue (incontinence, infection, cushings, etc). Even dogs who were surrendered to the shelter for house-soiling. Usually they would be 75% reliable in 3-4 days.
ETA: I would love pictures too! Heelers are one of my favorite breeds!

Tuesday, August 19, 2014
After weeks of speculation, the decision has been made: Project Jackson will continue forward.
According to Belton Zeigler, the City of North Augusta's lead attorney, S.C. Circuit Court Judge J. Ernest Kinard has informed both plaintiff Steve Donohue and the defense, the City, that he ruled with the City on all points.
"We haven't gotten a final, signed copy of the document quite yet," Zeigler said. "The judge's office notified us yesterday (Monday) evening that they would be sending a signed copy of the order to the Clerk of Court in Aiken County."
Project Jackson is a proposed 25-acre development, possibly consisting of a hotel, stores and a baseball stadium.
It will be located between The River Club and Hammond's Ferry neighborhoods in North Augusta.
"The City of North Augusta is pleased with the ruling from Judge Kinard," said North Augusta City Administrator Todd Glover. "The judge found that the City followed the law in every detail in pursuing the project.
"After over 12 public meetings, the approval of three local governments, and now an expansive review by the courts, it is our hope that the City will now be able to move forward with this exciting project."
The complaint lodged by Donohue, a resident of The River Club, stated, among other things, that the amended ordinance the City adopted last November establishing a Tax Increment Financing District to finance a portion of Project Jackson does not comply with state law in that there's no evidence of blight in the area and there are no findings that property values would remain static or decline without intervention.
Donohue's complaint also alleged that North Augusta City Council "repeatedly met in private, executive sessions between January 2013 and September 2013 without properly announcing the specific purpose."
Chris Schoen, the master developer with Greenstone Properties, indicated "this ruling keeps us on track to deliver a top-notch development that will become a destination for everyone in the region. We are dedicated to being good neighbors and bringing affordable family entertainment to the North Augusta riverfront."
Zeigler added, "The development itself is a wonderful development that the town should be very proud of. North Augusta's citizens should be very proud of how farsighted it has been in setting up something very exciting."
Zeigler said, should there be an appeal, the defense will take it in stride and look to get the same result.
He said the developers are "completely committed" to the project, and that "no one is turning back."
Donohue has 30 days to file an appeal.

Editor's note: This version of this story has been updated to correct the scope of the proposed Project Jackson development. The development will span roughly 25 acres.

Kansas City cut steaks
Hello all
I just came back from my first visit to Montreal ever, and had a great steak at a popular steakhouse down there named "La Queue de Cheval"
I went to order the striploin from their menu, as I always do as its usually my favorite, but the waiter insisted I get their specialty cut instead, because it has a little more flavor from the bone
It was a 20oz. Bone-in Kansas City striploin steak. It was dry aged, and pretty spectacular..
Has anybody heard of this cut before? It seems to be a NY Strip with a long narrow bone attatched, running the length of the steak
I am dying to find some of these locally here in the GTA, I don't mind the cost, I just am looking for a damn fine steak
I haven't been to Cumbrae's in some time, and have never been to Oliffe, has anybody seen these dry aged steaks before?
And, what do you think (rough estimate) an aged steak like that would cost? I'm looking at 16 to 20 oz :)
Thanks for reading
Cumbrae's if they are able to cut it for you, would charge around $25/lb. Best to call first.
FWIW, here's a description from Wikipedia:
"The strip steak (also known as striploin, shell steak, Delmonico, New York or Kansas City strip steak) is one of the highest quality beef steaks on the market. In British Commonwealth countries, this is called "porterhouse steak", which has a different meaning in American English. Cut from the strip loin, the strip steak consists of a muscle that does little work, and so it is particularly tender. Unlike the nearby filet mignon, the strip loin is a sizable muscle, allowing it to be cut into the larger portions favored by many steak eaters.
When still attached to the bone, and with a piece of the beef tenderloin also included, the strip steak becomes a T-bone steak or a porterhouse."
It is to die for isn't it? Marbled and flavourful... I had it in a dry aged 20oz form for the first time at David Burke Primehouse when I visited Chicago.
The second time I've had it was actually at Harbour Sixty! Although it's not a cut on their regular menu. I was lucky enough to be dining at the restaurant when they had it on their feature menu. I went back few weeks ago and they didn't have it, so it's hard to say when it will come back...
If not, if you ever make a trip to NYC, I'm sure Primehouse would have that cut...the dollar IS trading above par this morning ;).
re: gijoeanne
I know it's not Harbour Sixty but the Porterhouse is a mainstay on The Tulip menu and like I said although it is not Hobour it is still a porterhouse and pretty darn good.
That said any butcher should be able to serve it up for your home BBQ
Cheese Boutique has been beautifully aging some meat lately. Still a small offering but I have seen KC CUT steaks. I think they are in the $30 a pound range. But for the extra age (minimum 35 days dry-aged) the meat is phenomenal. Usually the are 40-50 days aged. Call ahead because I don't always see them in the dusplay but I have on many occasions.
re: Westwardho
Interesting -- thank you for the information , I will be looking up their address :)
re: jayt90
It would be similar ; it didnt have the horizontal part at the top of the T bone from what I remember, just the long narrow one on the side running vertical
I guess it could be a t-bone with the filet removed.. Odd

Remington: Oaklawn now the focus for leading owner Caldwell
Danny Caldwell was searching for an "adrenaline flow" after he left his career as a high school coach to start a business with his brother. He has found the right fit in racing. Caldwell has won four of the last five Thoroughbred owner titles Remington Park in Oklahoma City, his latest on Sunday. He operates an active claiming barn, and led all owners with 21 wins. Caldwell's stable earned $380,080.
"We had a great meet," he said. "I've really got a great team working for me. We're on our way to Oaklawn now. I claimed over there some last year, but I hadn't focused on Oaklawn as I had Remington."
That will change during the Oaklawn Park meet that opens on Jan. 11. Caldwell, who has 12 horses stabled in Hot Springs, Ark., with his private trainer, Federico Villafranco, said he has recently rented living quarters near the track to focus on claiming. He has been doing the same at Remington, where he turned over all but two of the original stable of 15 horses he began the meet with in August.
"I like to keep fresh horses," he said. "I just play the claiming game the way it's supposed to be played."
Fifth Date was arguably Caldwell's most successful claim during the recent meet at Remington. He took the horse for $18,000 on Aug. 25 and two starts later Fifth Date won the $155,000 Oklahoma Classics Cup. Fifth Date also won two other optional claimers for Caldwell, and is now based at Oaklawn. And while Caldwell raced at Oaklawn last year, this will be the first meet Villafranco – the brother of successful Quarter Horse trainer Luis Villafranco – will be set up at Oaklawn.
Caldwell keeps about 20 horses in training, and in addition to his Oaklawn division has four at Delta Downs in Vinton, La., with trainer Karl Broberg. Caldwell also has a farm in his hometown of Poteau, Okla., where he has a dozen broodmares and stands the Silver Deputy stallion Ellerton.
Caldwell, 47, was a teacher and coach at Panama High School in Oklahoma, but left his position to start a natural stone business with his brother. "We ship stone all over the country," he said.
The business's success enabled Caldwell to get into racing on a serious level, which fed his need for competition.
"That's kind of why I got into the horses, the adrenaline flow," he said. "These horses are like players. If you don't have players, it's hard to win big races. You've got to go out there with pretty good players."
Other title winners during Remington were Cliff Berry, who picked up his 15th leading jockey award in Oklahoma City on Sunday, and Steve Asmussen, who has now won nine training championships at Remington.

Nemanja Vidic played for an hour as a second-string Manchester United side won 2-0 at Crewe.
The Serbian defender missed United's tour of Australia and the Far East with a back complaint but came through 62 minutes untroubled at Gresty Road.
There were also run-outs for Nani and Antonio Valencia who both missed the trip, with Nani scoring both goals.
The Portugal international, who has been suffering with a broken nose, slotted in a first-half free-kick and then tucked away a second goal after the break.
Nicolas Anelka's impressive pre-season form continued as he scored one of West Brom's goals in a 3-1 win over Atromitos.
The well-traveled Frenchman has now scored three goals for his new club and was joined on the scoresheet by Saido Berahino and Markus Rosenberg.
Thanasis Karagounis had given Atromitis an early lead.
Elsewhere, Maynor Figueroa's goal was enough to give Hull a 1-0 win at Peterborough.

Hokule'a 2007 Voyage to Micronesia Bearing Gift for Mau Piailug Ku Holo Mau – Sail On, Sail Always, Sail Forever
Hawaii's voyaging canoe, the Hokule'a, has undertaken yet another historic voyage across the Pacific Ocean, this time into the Western Pacific through the islands of Micronesia. The Hokule'a which departed from Hawai'i, stopped on the islands of Majuro, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Satawal, Woleai, Ulithi, Yap and Palau and is bearing a gift, the gift of the Alingano Maisu, a 56-foot double-hulled Hawai'ian canoe with a single mast. The Alingano Maisu is a gift from the entire Hawai'ian voyaging community to the people of Micronesia and Mau Piailug, the man who started it all.
In 1976, Mau Piailug, as its first navigator, guided the Hokule'a on a 2,300 mile voyage to Tahiti. Hawai'ian voyagers built the Hokule'a and wanted to travel the ancient sea-faring route to Tahiti once done by their ancestors, but they needed a navigator. They found their navigator in Micronesia. The trip was done in connection with the American bicentennial celebrations and marked the first modern-day seafaring voyage without instruments on this ancient Polynesian sea-faring route. Mau's feat sparked pride in Hawai'ian and Polynesian culture and literally was the catalyst for a renaissance in voyaging, canoe building and traditional navigation that continues to grow today across Polynesia and even into Micronesia. At the time, Piailug was then one of last remaining individuals who still knew the art of traditional navigation (using stars, waves, clouds, wind, birds, etc.) in the Pacific. He was found on Satawal Atoll, State of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM).

The concept of Bill of Rights Enforcement is becoming reality as conservative legislators, representing the rights of their constituents, are seeking ways to protect the citizens of their states from excessive abuse of federal authority, in violation of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution, by the Obama Regime.
Just today, I reported here how legislators in Arizona are seeking to enact The Second Amendment Preservation Act to nullify and over-ride federal gun laws and regulations, that violate the Second Amendment, in Arizona. States are allowed to do this, under our federal Constitution, because of one of the most important parts of the Bill of Rights, The Tenth Amendment.
This is a great time and place to review the exact language of The Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Most areas of domestic public policy do and should actually fall under the state governments. And especially now as the Obama Regime seeks to exceed its constitutional authority and rule on everything, and control everything, from Washington D.C., it is time for our elected representatives in our states to stand up for our Constitutional rights against the violation of them by the federal government. A great way to do this is the enacting of legislation to protect our rights, and nullify any federal legislation violating them. This is the basic concept of Bill of Rights Enforcement at the state level.
As there is increasing citizen resistance against the authoritarian nature and policies of the Obama Regime in Washington D.C. we will see more efforts, like the bill in Arizona, to enact Bill of Rights Enforcement at the state level.
Likewise, the moves in several states, including South Carolina and Georgia, to nullify and overturn ObamaCare in those states are also instances of Bill of Rights Enforcement. These legislative moves are being advanced by conservative legislators in these states, not liberal or progressive Democrats, or even moderate or progressive Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) either.
While some have become disillusioned with politics, while seeing the apparently unstoppable march of hard left progressive policies in Washington D.C., this resistance movement should be a source of real hope for those who love liberty and oppose authoritarian centralized government the Obama Regime is seeking to impose on the country. The vortex of freedom is in the states, especially the more conservative so-called "red" stats, and Bill of Rights Enforcement is the blueprint for restoring liberty.

The latest in my quest for brightness was painting the mantle above the cook top so that both mantles shared the same color scheme. I may decide to paint the entire cook top cabinet so that it gives it a more cohesive look.
Have you been on any quest's lately?

We are coming to a sad realization right now. Smartphones are actually computers that allow applications to do the same things that Mac OS or Windows can do. As we demonstrated earlier on the iPhone, an App can upload your pictures without any provocation.
BREAKING NEWS: Every Mac OS X app can view all your photos! twitpic.com/8qok8b—
nilay patel (@reckless) March 01, 2012
It turns out that Android also allows applications to upload photos.
A Google spokesperson told me:
"We originally designed the Android photos file system similar to those of other computing platforms like Windows and Mac OS. At the time, images were stored on a SD card, making it easy for someone to remove the SD card from a phone and put it in a computer to view or transfer those images.
As phones and tablets have evolved to rely more on built-in, non-removable memory, we're taking another look at this and considering adding a permission for apps to access images. We've always had policies in place to remove any apps on Android Market that improperly access your data."
The problem here is best exemplified by the Mac vs. PC ad you see above. If you ask permission every time an app needs to do something that could potential violate privacy, it gets pretty messy and it ends up:
"a future where it takes 10 minutes to open your Facebook app."

Ben Treece: 401(k): Understanding your second-largest assetWritten by Ben Treece | | email@example.com
For the average working family, their 401(k) plan is the second largest asset that they own, aside from their home. It provides them with an opportunity for future savings and a substantial source of income during their retirement years. In some cases, a 401(k) may be the only plan for retirement that a family has. Unfortunately, many 401(k) plans have failed their participants for a litany of reasons.
A company establishes a 401(k) plan strictly for the benefit of its employees. An attractive 401(k) will make a company more competitive when looking for new employees. Many plans will encourage savings by offering matching contributions up to a certain percentage. Unfortunately, many of these same plans have failed to provide their participants with the guidance they need for a successful retirement, a deficit which could be devastating to their futures.
A common trend in the 401(k) industry over the past two decades has been the creation of an investing "easy button." One way this perception has been advanced is through the sales of target date funds such as "Retirement 2020" funds. These funds serve more as products and less as investments. The idea behind offering these funds is simple; if a participant can easily see a fund closely catered to his or her retirement goals, then the adviser does not need to be present to assist in a self-explanatory choice.
If participants were approached regularly by their advisers, they would know that these funds tend to have a high exposure to bonds, which is a foolish investment when interest rates are at historic lows. If advisors were doing right by those whom they are privileged to serve, they would offer a vast array of products and make themselves present on a regular basis to explain the pros and cons of each investment. Sadly, few participants know what funds they are even invested in, let alone who their adviser is.
We have been warning 401(k) sponsors and participants for months to keep an eye out for fee disclosures that regulators have told advisers to release by Aug. 1, 2012. Many participants do not know exactly how much they are paying in fees and what these fees pay for.
It is my opinion that once plan sponsors and participants receive these disclosures, they will be appalled by how high their fees are, how their fees have been layered to appear lower, and by how much their adviser is earning while rarely making an appearance to answer their questions. These fees are often negotiated without the participants having a say in how much they should pay or what the fees go toward.
All 401(k) participants should do their part to educate themselves if they are feeling neglected by their plan adviser. Seek the advice of an outside professional; many will even sit down with you and explain what you have free of charge. If you are wary about looking for advice outside of your plan, speak with your Human Resources (HR) Department and ask them for assistance. If your co-workers feel the same, voice your frustrations within the company. Remember, these plans exist for your benefit. If you do not feel that you are benefiting, then it is time for a change. Plan advisers and administrators can usually be changed with minimal work on the part of the sponsor within one month, if done properly.
In today's economic environment, your 401(k) is an incredibly valuable asset that requires careful attention in order to maximize your future earnings.
Take a moment, whether it is on your own time, with HR or with another professional, and analyze exactly what you have, and if it meets your expectations. If you are unhappy with your fund options, service or fees, it might be time to start asking questions and seeking better answers.

Pedaling throughout Sandusky on Sunday, Evan Estep and Adam West definitely eclipsed their exercise quota for the day.
But the Sandusky police officers achieved much more than personal gratification after burning a few hundred calories in three hours.
They covered several miles by bicycle, searching for any signs of trouble along streets and in alleyways. They also assisted colleagues in handling a domestic dispute, and they caught a bicyclist who had several warrants out for his arrest.
All told, the day screamed productivity.
At a glance
• Sandusky police commanders recently revived a long-dormant bicycle patrol program after obtaining a $3,000 grant earlier this year.
• The initiative aims to improve community relations, as officers can more easily talk with people, as opposed to being in cruisers.
• Commanders need to obtain more grant money or receive donations to continue the bicycle patrols.
Estep and West also accomplished a goal that has eluded the police department for years: improving relationships between police and city residents.
Estep and West frequently swung by the Hancock Street Block Party, where dozens of residents danced to banging beats, snacked on munchies and enjoyed a gorgeous day. As the pair pedaled by, many people — including children and adults — approached to chitchat and shake hands.
"When you're in a car, all you can do is wave," Estep said. "But when we're out here on bikes, we can actually stop and talk to people, hear their concerns and maybe bring ourselves a little bit closer to them."
Block party organizer Bonita Lofties greeted Estep and West with bear hugs as soon as she saw them.
"This is a good thing," Lofties said of the bike patrol.
Earlier this year, city officials obtained a $3,000 grant from Norfolk Southern railroad company, which covered the cost of bicycle helmets and the salaries of officers on bike patrol.
Police commanders used bicycles they obtained in years past, from previous grants, for the new bike patrol program that debuted earlier this summer.
Since becoming the department's head in April, Sandusky police Chief John Orzech took immediate steps to rejuvenate the on-again, off-again bicycle program. It originally started in 1996.
"The bike program is an opportunity for our officers to interact in the community neighborhoods without the normal barriers," Orzech said.
Orzech has established community relations as a top goal, and the bicycle patrols play well into this, offering a distinct advantage over officers in police cruisers or on foot patrol.
"In a cruiser, you're usually driving through the neighborhoods at normal speeds, which doesn't give much time to interact," Orzech said. "As opposed to foot patrols, bicycles are ready to take off and handle situations should they arise."
Officers on bike patrol typically stay within a one-mile radius of the Meigs Street police station. Among the areas they frequent are Huron Park, near CVS Pharmacy, and downtown.
To date, Orzech has scheduled 11 bike patrol shifts — each shift typically consists of two officers together — with another seven shifts slated to occur later this year. The officers on bike patrol generally bolster the regularly scheduled shift, as opposed to taking officers away from other duties to serve on bike patrols.
The officers on bicycles still carry guns and wear bulletproof vests, and they can make arrests as needed. Officers in cruisers, meanwhile, are also available to provide backup to them.
Orzech said he'll continue searching for similar grants to ensure a bike patrol remains in Sandusky during warmer months.
"I hope we can keep the program running by establishing some donations or grants," Orzech said. "We would like to continue to incorporate them into our operations."
10 advantages of bicycle patrols
Campus Safety Magazine compiled a list of 10 reasons bicycle patrols are beneficial to communities:
1. Bicycles are less threatening than patrol vehicles, and they give officers opportunities to create better impressions on residents.
2. Other bicyclists are more accepting of bike patrol officers. Cyclists can connect with bicycle officers on different levels, as opposed to officers in cruisers.
3. Bicycle patrols result in more than twice as many contacts with the public, compared to vehicle patrols.
4. Bicycle police uniforms appear less threatening.
5. Perpetrators don't notice bike patrols.
6. Bike patrols can go where traditional patrol vehicles can't.
7. Bicycle officers can use all of their senses to detect illegal activity — they can see, hear and even smell things that an officer in a cruiser might not notice.
8. Bicycles have other uses, including targeted enforcement, surveillance, traffic enforcement and public order.
9. Bicycles cost less to purchase and maintain, compared to police cruisers.
10. Bikes provide environmental and health benefits, with zero emissions and no need for fuel.

Well, I love teaching, always have since my father instilled the belief in me that giving back to society is so very important for each one of us . . . and since he was an amazing educator as a father and friend, I went into teaching to give back to the community at large, per se, helping those who need assistance in preparing for the challenges we all face in this world.
I have been fortunate to teach at many wonderful universities such as the University of Southern California, Stanford, UC San Diego, San Diego State University, and the University of Oregon to name a few. With a Ph.D. in Education, I have taught in the areas of TESOL, teacher education, bilingual and multicultural education, reading, and of course, English as a Second Language.
As a lover of the written word, I spend time on creative projects, and as such, have over 140 publications (poetry and short stories), and have written fiction and non-fiction books, screen and teleplays.

Steak 'n Shake: Steak 'n Shake
Steak 'n Shake is now a national chain with 300+ stores in thirteen states. The very first Steak 'n Shake, however, was in Normal, IL. I kid you not! Of course it has now been closed and turned into a pizza place, but there are four other ones you can visit. People in this town love their Steak 'n Shake.
Favorite Dish: Cheddar cheese fries!
The Coffee House: The Coffee House
The Coffee House has, by far, the best vegetarian food in town, and probably in the entire damn county. Their menu is entirely veggie, and it doesn't matter what you order because it's ALL good.
Favorite Dish: Chili Quesidillas
Delgado's Mexican Food & Drink: Best Mexican in Town
Very mexican decorations...white, orange, and green. Tablecloth-covered tables, soft lighting, and stuccoed walls look very authentic. Arched open doorways lead to the kitchen, and dark-stained hardwood all over.
Wrought iron gates frame the bar.
The waitresses are all friendly, always with smiles.
A VERY cheery place to eat.
Favorite Dish: Chiles Rellenos - Poblano peppers stuffed with cheese or meat, battered, and fried. It's warm, gooey, and just a little spicy. The peppers are a little smoky/sweet and fantastic.
Gazpacho - Generally served only during the warm months. A chilled tomato soup with cucumber, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Very refreshing.
Chilaquiles - A mexican casserole-type side dish. Cornmeal with mild peppers and I think some garlic. Plebian, but wonderful
Watterson Food Court: It was good the first few times...
There actually is a variety of food at the food court.
Elenor's Kitchen has decent Chinese food. The General's Chicken seems to be a favorite with many students, I however, don't enjoy the breaded chicken all that well. I do recommend the black pepper chicken or the pinapple chicken. While not great, it's better than must of the fair.
The Tower Deli actually has some decent sandwiches. First off, if you don't like a MASSIVE amount of whatever condement you ask for, let the student who's making your sandwich know. This is especially the case if you get mayonase. They just put globs and globs of mayo on. This is why I refrain from the mayo and stick with mustard. You can either get one of the premade sandwiches or get your own custom one. The Randolf is a pretty good premade sandwich. It's turkey, swiss, and grey poupon on a crossant. I mostly eat a custom made sandwich on Seven Grain bread (yes! They actually have good wheat breads there!).
Stay away from the Mexican place.
The Salad Bar actually has leaf lettuce and spinach. Make a nice healthy salad with that and go light on the dressing and you're set.
The italian place, Donzillos, has pizza and some other dishes. I don't eat at it though. I hear the pizza is horrible.
There is actually a Chic-fil-a there. This sounds nice since Chic-fil-a is usually pretty damn good. Well, the food is obviously different from your local fast food place. What I recommend there is the grilled chicken sandwich. It's usually dry, but throw some barbacue sauce on, and you're good.
Boomer's Grill can be satisfying on the occasion. However, if you show up later at night, you might be feasting on a cold burger. The burgers are decent, the fries just bad, but the pork sandwich and fish sandwich are alright. Load all of these with condements as they are all very dry. I hear the "Boomer Burger" is pretty good too. They put lettuce, tomato, and some western sauce on it. There was this one time where the fish sandwich was actually bitter. It was not a pleasant experience, beware.
Favorite Dish: There is a place there with Bagels, Muffins, and Cakes/Cookies. The Bagels are good. Blueberry is great, and the Cinnamin Rasin ones are good too. Muffins are pretty damn good too, again I like the blueberry. The cookies are hit or miss. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they are rather lacking. Now, my favorite food to get here are the Rice Crispy Treats. They make they using Lucky Charms, Cocca Cripies, or Fruit Loops. OMG are they good.

As with most things Richie Fields does, the 2012 release of his newest CD "Smile" is creating a lot of energy and excitement and leaving fans everywhere, well, smiling! His first single off the CD, the title track "Smile", was officially released to country radio and recently became Richie's fourth charted single.
"Smile", produced in Franklin, TN at the renowned Sound Kitchen, is Richie's third album and this time he wrote or co-wrote all 13 track on there. "There is a true story behind most every song on this album," says Richie, and listeners will be hard pressed to listen to the CD without finding something that strikes a chord within their own lives. The ballads are dripping with love and love lost, the mid-tempo tunes reflect a certain maturity of a singer/songwriter who has lived out some of life's lessons, and the up-tempo rockin' numbers are clever, sometimes funny, and will have you jumping out of your seat, kicking up your heels and singing along!
Richie Fields' smooth country baritone has already given this up-and-coming recording artist four well-received radio singles and a #1 music video for "Man Enough To Cry" (Y'all Wire). Known for his energetic live shows and ability to connect with his audience, Richie has toured nationally, playing at many of the country's most renowned venues, and has opened for many of Country Music's biggest names. Most recently, Richie and his band opened for Darius Rucker at House of Blues in Atlantic City, NJ as well as Randy Houser and Casey James at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD. They also opened the show for WPOC's "Sunday in the Country", at Merriweather Post Pavilion in late 2011, in a lineup including Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, The Band Perry, Brantley Gilbert, Steel Magnolia, Hunter Hayes, and Frankie Ballard.
Richie has previously been acknowledged on CMA's "Who New To Watch" list, as well as making his debut in Country Weekly magazine's "Who's New" feature. Richie made his national television debut on Inside Music Row and appears in the recently released motion picture "9-Ball". He and his band will be taking a bus full of fans with them to Nashville again in June 2014, where they will perform for the 7th straight year during the CMA Music Festival.
In the recent past, recording sessions with producer J. Gary Smith (Andy Griggs, Lonestar) generated two charted radio singles on Music Row from Richie's second CD "Down Memory Lane" (2010). The emotionally charged tune "Losing You" was followed up by the hard driving single "Wichita" which climbed it's way to #1 on the Indie World Chart. The single "Devil In The Mirror" from Richie's first CD "Man Enough To Cry" (2008) also charted on Music Row and has remained a fan favorite.
Currently, Richie and his band are working on recording their newest single, "When A Good Man Dies" written by Richie and Jonathan Jackson. They have been playing the acoustic version live to great reactions at their shows and they are hopeful this song will do well on mainstream country radio. Look for the single to hit radio in spring 2014.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Breast Cancer, Lymph Node Biopsy, and Dissection
In this article
In addition to removing the breast cancer through a mastectomy or lumpectomy, doctors need to know whether the cancer has spread beyond the breast. This is done by removing one or more lymph nodes from under your arm on the same side of the affected breast.
Lymph node biopsy and dissection has two main purposes. It removes the breast cancer that may have spread into the armpit (axilla). And it allows the surgeon to stage your cancer by learning how far the cancer has spread. There are two ways to remove and test lymph nodes:
- Axillary node dissection. This involves removing at least six of the lymph nodes under the arm. These nodes are then sent to a lab where they are checked for cancer. Axillary node dissection is a very reliable way to check the extent of your cancer, but it has a longer recovery and poses complications such as lymphedema (swelling of the arm) or nerve damage compared to sentinel node biopsy.
- Sentinel node biopsy. In this surgery, a special blue dye and/or a radioactive substance is first injected into the breast in the region of the tumor to determine which lymph nodes are the first to receive drainage from the breast. These nodes would potentially be the first to be invaded by cancer cells. One to three sentinel nodes are usually removed and tested for cancer. Studies show sentinel node biopsy is just as accurate as axillary node dissection in diagnosing cancer, and has fewer complications.
If an axillary node dissection was performed, a drain is placed under the arm to remove fluids that may accumulate and cause swelling and the wound is then closed. After this procedure, you will need to stay in the hospital one to two nights or longer if reconstruction is done. Many women go home with the drain in place. Your doctor will remove it a few days later. Women can soon begin simple exercises taught by a physical therapist to relieve the muscle soreness and tightness common after mastectomy. Pain medication can be taken as needed. Some swelling is common. Additional exercises are possible once stitches are removed. Complete healing takes about six weeks.
Before breast cancer surgery, print out these Questions to Ask so you can better understand your care.
Also before surgery, your doctor should provide:
- Specific instructions to follow in the days before surgery
- An overview of the surgical procedures
- Information about recovery and follow-up care
After surgery, watch for complications such as infection or swelling in your arm or hand. Call your doctor immediately if you see signs of swelling, a build-up of fluid, redness, or other symptoms of infection.

A Sandwich a Day: Fried Whitefish Sandwich at Found
Upon first glance, it might appear that this sandwich would require a knife and fork to eat. It is, after all, listed under "knife and fork sandwiches" on the menu. I am proud to report that I managed to eat this with my hands without getting messy. More

On March 31, I posted the following.
I have a problem that is driving me crazy. Hopefully, someone can give me some idea what the cause is and what action I should take.
I have a desktop computer with MSI motherboard and Intel Celeron 3.06 Gig CPU. I realized several months ago that the 512 mb of RAM was inadequate and slowing down my computer. I decided to add a 1 gb stick of RAM in the one empty slot as MSI stated the motherboard would accept up to 2 gb of RAM "mix and match" in the two slots provided. I purchased the 1 GB stick of generic RAM and installed it which gave me a 512 mb stick in one slot and 1 GB stick in the other slot. That is where the troubles began. My computer would shut down periodically. It might be a matter of hours or it might be as much as five days.
I removed the 512 mb stick and I still had the problem. I replaced the 1 GB stick with the 512 mb stick. It took five or six days but it still shut down. Now I don't know what to do as my computer shuts down with either one or both sticks of RAM. There is no question in my mind that I need additional RAM but what should I do? Is it possible that something else has happened to cause the shutdowns and not the RAM?
Carol Haynes, FODDER, Mouser and Dormouse all came to my rescue and I appreciate all the input I received.
My problem, as frequently happens, turned out to be a couple of problems which complicated everything immeasurably.
The main problem turned out to be a faulty Belkin UPS. I suspected a problem here (since it did not function properly in the event of a power interruption) but for a long time I did not suspect it would contribute to the RAM problem. (Apparently, the UPS Coincidentally went bad about the same time I decided to add more RAM.) I bypassed the UPS and used memtest to check both sticks running at the same time. Removing the faulty UPS took care of the RAM problem. I then put the side plate on the system box and in a short time the computer shut down again. This led me to believe that I needed some additional cooling. I added another case fan in back pulling air out. I replaced the side panel and installed a new APC UPS. The computer has been running without shutting down for four or five days now. Hopefully my problem has been solved permanently.
I post this in case anyone else has a similar problem so that they might benefit from my experience.
Again, thanks to Carol and the other guys for their input.

The official site for Mischa's handbag collection has now launched! The site features a huge array of Mischa's bags and also a list of stockists if you'd prefer to see them in person. The site also seems to ship worldwide so now is the chance for everyone to own a piece of Mischa's collection!
Following a hugely successful launch, International actress and fashion trend setter Mischa Barton is delighted to introduce her second collection of sought-after handbags for Spring/Summer 09.
Available in stores from December, the collection is comprised of 34 covetable styles.
Vintage inspired totes mixed with chic drawstring bags, small clutches and oversized slouch bags all complemented by a new range of must have purses.
A diverse collection of new styles sit alongside old favourites in exciting new leathers and fabrics.
Coloured metallic snakes, patents, pearlised leathers, and statement tapestries are all hot fabrics for the season, many beautifully embellished with jewels and antique brass hardware.
The collection embraces the new seasons colour palette of hot purple, rock-chick black, classic tan, matt silver and ice white.
The new Mischa Barton collection will be available from leading department stores and boutiques across the UK. Prices range from £20 to £195.
I've added a page on the various retailers that stock Mischa's handbag collection. These are sites that I've found myself so there might be more out there. So far I know of the collection being sold in the United Kingdom, Australia and at least online in Scandinavia. If anyone else has any additional information I'd love to hear from you.
Here is a preview of one of the upcoming advertisements from Mischa's handbag collection. The line seems to be doing extremely well with regular sell outs at ASOS, Debenhams and John Lewis in the UK. As mentioned, the collection also just recently launched in Australia (through David Jones) and is also available in Scandinavia.
To all the Aussies who visit, Mischa's handbag collection has launched in Australia. They are available at David Jones stores across the country. At this stage we aren't sure if the bags are available at every store but if you'd like to purchase one, maybe ring ahead and find out if your nearest store has them. They apparently only went on sale in Australia within the last week or two so the line is just brand new. From the prices I saw, expect to pay upwards of $100 (Australian dollars) for most styles currently available.
Actress turned handbag designer Mischa Barton tells Laura Jackson about her inspirations and love of vintage shopping.
How did Mischa Barton handbags come about?
I was approached by a manufacturer in Hong Kong who was keen to work with me, and I was attracted to the fact that they would let me design under my own name. The team was very open-minded, and let me be as funky or classic as I wanted with my designs. At the moment the collection is just available in the UK and Republic of Ireland and I like the exclusivity of that. Spring 09 is the second season I have designed for, and I feel people have more confidence in what I do now.
What can we expect from the brand for spring 09?
There are more wallets and purses this season and I've been working on improving the clasps. There are more studs and metalwork, which are inspired by catwalk designs. One of my favourite designs is a classic black handbag with an embossed logo. I like understated pieces.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I collaborate with other people when we are choosing fabrics and designs, so it is quite a back and forth process, but my input comes from the vintage and classic bags I own, and translating that into something modern and affordable. In terms of the brand's flower logo, that was something I came up with when I was doodling. I think it's quite 1970s, a bit Biba, and it shows the bag is a Mischa Barton bag without me having my name splashed all over it.
Read Full Article. (Thanks to Maz)
Here is a preview of Mischa's upcoming second collection of handbags. The new styles and colours will be available towards the end of November. You can view full size previews in the gallery. Big thanks to Julia from the collection's PR firm for the material!
While I'm talking about the bags, Debenhams has also put up a sale on their website and all of Mischa's bags are temporarily marked down. Debenhams has close to 30 styles available with prices starting from just £16.00.
Just a quick update to mention that Mischa's handbag collection has gone on sale on ASOS.com. The sale will last only one week and I think a few days have already passed so get in quick!
After taking in the Temperley London show on Monday, Mischa Barton kicked back at the designer's after-party at trendy members club Bungalow 8."I'm taking a bit of time out being in London seeing friends and family,"she said. Having just finished her second line of handbags and headbands for her collection with accessories designer Stacey Lapidus, Barton said she would start shooting a new film in November titled "Nepal" opposite actor Charlie Sheen. "I will be filming in India, which will be exciting," she said.

Liverpool's Academy players and staff followed in the footsteps of the Reds' first team by making a special Christmas visit to Alder Hey Children's Hospital on Thursday.
With Ryan McLaughlin and Daniel Trickett-Smith dressed up as Santa Claus and mascot Mighty Red in attendance too, the group brought a sprinkling of festive cheer to the child patients.
To ensure that the club's U18 and U21 youngsters could meet with as many children as possible, the starlets were split into groups to travel around the wards with selection boxes for the kids.
The poignant journey is one the boys from the Kirkby complex know well, as representatives from the Academy visit the hospital based in West Derby each and every month.
Their trip yesterday instantly followed that of the Reds' senior players, after Steven Gerrard, Brendan Rodgers, Luis Suarez and co toured Alder Hey on Wednesday afternoon.
Browse through the slideshow below for more pictures of the Academy players' visit.

Recipe by Rachael Hutchings
"Golden, baked crescents are layered with chocolate pudding and fresh raspberries and topped with whipped cream and chocolate curls for a simple and elegant dessert."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) can
Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1/3 cup
chocolate pudding
2 cups
fresh raspberries
Whipped cream and chocolate curls
These were great and I only changed a few things. For one, when it comes to the crescents I sprinkled them with sugar before baking. To make the whipped cream the recipe calls for: with a hand mixer combine 1 c. heavy cream, 1/4 c. powdered sugar, and a splash of vanilla. Beat until it's as thin/thick as you like. Then I took about half of it and folded it into the pudding I had already made and had chilling in the fridge. I then use the rest of the whipped cream for garnish as the recipe states. These were delicious!
These were pretty good, but I had a hard time with the crescents for some reason, they didn't come out like perfect little triangles like in the photo hehe. They ended up being kind of big so I didn't stack them like in the photo either. I sprinkled the crescents with sugar before cooking and I just sued cool whip, they were a hit! Very easy to assemble because I had a lot of other stuff to make.
4 Ratings
This was a relatively easy dessert and it tasted great. Getting the crescent rolls to make perfect triangles was a little work. My kids loved constructing them and enjoyed eating them. :) Great recipe to make with older children. We will make again.

UNC frat brothers donate toward ID system
Phi Delta Theta fraternity this week donated money to the Chapel Hill Police Department to buy an EZ Child ID System.
The system, whose models range in price from $3,000 to $5,000, allows police to provide parents, at no charge, a CD and printout containing their child's fingerprints, photograph and other vital information that could be used should the child ever go missing.
"ID kits have been used for years and they provide local police departments with both a good record, should a child ever go missing, as well as providing an opportunity for officers to talk to parents and their children about ways to stay safe," Chapel Hill Police Chief Chris Blue said in a news release. He accepted the donation from the fraternity Wednesday at the police department headquarters. "We appreciate the partnership with Phi Delta Theta in bringing this important equipment to our community," he said. "Hopefully, we will never need to use it."
New members of the UNC North Carolina fraternity helped organize the EZ Child ID effort.
"We felt that the EZ Child ID System is something that will be easy to sustain, and will affect not only the community members that might go missing, but also the police department by giving them a leg up in a search," said Louis Stephens, a Phi Delta Theta member.

Cattle – They're Just Like Us!
I happen to like the redheads. No particular reason, of course.
Some have saggy necks. This one needs to read Nora Ephron's latest book. It'll make her feel better.
And unfortunately, like many of us, some cattle are prone to gossip. It's just bovine nature, I guess.
What were they saying about me? "Look at that skinny two-legged freak," perhaps. Or it could have been something like, "What's with those opposable thumbs?" or even "Dang, 'dem humans shure are uuuuuugly!"
What do you think they were saying?

And I suppose I'll put my question from yesterday here where it's more likely to be seen:
What does "Toshiro Mifune good" mean?
Seriously, I think not knowing is the reason I didn't sleep so well last night. That or the fact that I sleep next to a blanket thief.

Love, Love, Love the cow pics Ree Love cows, butter, milk, steak too. Cows are so sweet. I used to go by the fence and the cows would come to me and lick my hands and arms. Probably liked the saltiness. Then in the summer when I slept on the porch, they'd come to the fence and MOO MOO MOO until I woke up and paid attention to them. Saw beautiful sunrises then too. I wish so many times I could go back to that. Lovely, sweet cows.

If I close my eyes, I can almost feel the grass under my feet and smell those great farm smells in the air.
