As a former Emergency Dispatcher, I can attest that this is one of the most underpaid, most STRESSFUL jobs there is. You control so many people's safety. The callers, the patrolmen, the EMT's, Firemen and yourself. It can wear on you!
That being said, it's no excuse for what she did. BUT it might have been department policy.
BUT I'm appalled that she didn't get more information AND even more appalled that an officer was not dispatched to at least assess the situation.
When I was working, it was department policy to ONE: call the number back for all hangups and children on the phone and TWO: an officer was dispatched for both.
And it's been taught in women's self-defense classes and in women living in abusive relationships to call 9-1-1 and hang up!

Parents, educators, and taxpayers throughout Boston's suburbs are betting that $100 million will help their children enter a competitive college or succeed in today's cutthroat job market.
That's about the average cost of the seven new or renovated high schools opening in the suburbs at the start of the academic year in late August and early September. They are replacing aging structures dating from the 1970s or earlier that were at the end of their useful lives.
"We're really cleaning up a lot of the old schools," said Jack McCarthy, executive director of the Massachusetts School Building Authority, or MSBA, which provided more than $380 million — around 60 percent of the total cost — for high school construction in Danvers, Dracut, Duxbury, Franklin, Marshfield, Methuen, and Walpole.
The funding bought new buildings that reflect modern design principles and include technology that school officials said would not only boost students' learning but also maintain security at a time of increased anxiety over school violence. Many of the new high schools will have at least 200 video surveillance cameras, for example, superintendents said.

The first #FeatureThis reader ride spotlight of 2013 comes to us from Bryan Berkenkamp of San Antonio Texas. Bryan's machine is a 2004 Lexus IS300 that happens to be of the rare SportCross wagon variety. Like its sedan counterpart, the IS300 wagon came equipped with a naturally aspirated 2JZ motor, making it a prime candidate for modification as Bryan has proven.
To give the wagon some extra muscle, he built up the original motor with 2JZGTE internals and added a Turbonetics billet 6462 ball bearing turbo, along with upgraded cams, injectors and fuel pump.
With boost set to 17psi, the car makes 470 horsepower and 430 foot pounds of torque to the rear wheels. Very solid numbers considering the car is Bryan's daily driver.
From the factory, the IS SportCross was only offered with an automatic transmission, but Bryan swapped his autobox out for a rebuilt R154 from a MK3 Supra. As far as he knows, his is the only turbocharged, manual transmission-equipped IS wagon in the United States.
Elsewhere, the car has a host of suspension upgrades and set of 17×8.5 and 17×9.5 Work Emotion XD9s with Dunlop Direzza Z1 tires. The result is a very subtle and tasteful look.
Besides serving as his daily commuter and occasional autocross weapon, he's also gone out for some long road trips in the wagon. So far he's driven the car as far as Wyoming and California…
…where he took this picture of the car overlooking the Pacific.
After three years of building the car doing almost all of the work himself, Bryan says he's pretty satisfied with where it's at. The only future plans he has at the moment are to keep driving it, and we can't disagree with that. Thanks for sharing!

Sweet ride. I have one as well and I like your bike setup. What is the Yakima rack system and how is it attached?
Bruh ur cars dope as anythin its fresh u shuld deffinately put some vtec in it though. FRESH 4 LYFE
Thanks for all the comments everyone. I'm way excited to have made it on speedhunters, and I'm glad other people appreciate the car.
how do i get a hold of Bryan, got a few questions to ask him, thinking of getting those numbers on my 2JZ-GE
speed never goes out of style, love this IS XC.
Super nice car! Simple, clean, tasteful and fast!
<3 this, have always been a huge fan of IS's and this one is spot on!
Awesome coverage! There are two IS300 Sport crosses that always show up at Formula D Atlanta every year in the paddock. Definitely worth checking those guys out, they are super mean and super clean too! If I find a photo of them I can upload it and show you guys.
Lots in New Zealand
Howcome he didn't just swap in a 2JZ-GTE? Wouldnt that be a lot less labour intensive and easier? I'm not trying to be picky I'm just curious if there are any reasons behind it :)
Nice Feature!
I don't think I've ever seen more than 1 of these IS wagons. I love the automatic to manual swap!
This car is the complete package to me. Super nice and there's something about the bike rack that makes the ride in my opinion.
Such a bad ass, rare build. Couldn't ask for a better daily!
I love cars like this. Powerful enough to have a fun drive, Low enough to sit nice, but still all practical for daily use. Lots of love!
Awesome feature! Do the internals from the 2jz-gte swap straight into the 2jz?

1917 SHHS Annual Yellow Emperor Editorial Staff.
Today's feature is dedicated to the memory of the late Mrs. Louise Bond Alley, who copied her mother's 1917 Science Hill High School annual, "Yellow Emperor," for me shortly before her passing. I am hoping that some of our Johnson City Press readers will recognize a few of the names.
The 70-page publication, revealing 38 graduates, was the first one from the school that had numbered pages and advertisements at the back of it. It acquired its name from an orange and brown North American butterfly described as having a swift dodging flight.
The Board of Education (see photo) that year were (l-r, t-b) Dr. W.J. Matthews, Horace Miller, J.T. Browning, Frank B. St. John, J.E. Brading and George T. Wofford.
Faculty members (see photo) who served the institution were J.L. Gilbert (commercial arts), Lena Mills (domestic science), W.I. Williams (history), Una M. Jones (modern languages), Floy Harris (Latin), P.S. Barnes (superintendent), Lucy Hatcher (mathematics, future principal) and J.A. Tinsley (principal). Not shown are E.K. Hickam (manual training) and Dean Slagle (science).
The editorial staff (see photo) was comprised of (sitting) James Remine, Anne Huddle (editor), Bess Remine, (standing) Lorna Whiteside, Louise Cox, Oliver Robertson, Melville Smith, H.C. Hart, Nancy Weaver and Maurice Cardwell. Not pictured was Helen Browder.
The senior class officers were Fred Locket (president), Oliver Robertson (vice president), Mildred Wade (secretary) and Bess Remine (treasurer). Their clever class motto was "We've crossed the hills, the mountains are in view."
The only sports listed were girls' basketball and boys' baseball. A "Who's Who in the Senior Class" listed 24 senior superlatives: most popular, most agreeable, most bashful, most sarcastic, best athlete, most conceited, brainiest, biggest flirt, most fickle, most kiddish, most original liar, most lovable, prettiest, cutest, most attractive, sissiest, sportiest, most studious, sweetest, most stylish, darlingest, most vivacious, most English and wittiest.
Two verses of the class poem read: "Farewell, thou dear, old rocky hill, Farewell forevermore; Thru mem'ry we'll be keeping still, When days with thee are o'er. However oft we may have dreamed, Of the future soon to be, Tis harder now than once it seemed, Oh, hill, to part with thee!"
Unlike the class poem, the class song spoke of the thrill of graduating and being set free. The chorus read, "Little Jimmie Remine, Here's Altai Boring and Anne Huddle, And Buford Conner and Jimmie Humphries. All standing here you see. Oh, won't we have a jolly time. Oh, won't we have a jolly time. Oh, seniors, put your books away. We're all set free. And Floyd, you get your Ford cranked and stand before the gate, For we just must ride your Lizzie when we all graduate. We'll drive to the Majestic (Theatre) we're hired for forty 'frog skins,' And we guess we'll be given our precious, precious 'sheep skins.' "
An amusing observation was declared in the Class History portion of the yearbook: "The class of 1917 claims the distinction of having fooled more teachers, ridden barebacked and unafraid on more unbroken ponies, absorbed more science, evaded more mathematics and eluded more examinations, remaining still unscathed than any other class ever turned loose upon an unsuspecting world."
My favorite witticism from a joke page was Paul asking Jack if a damaging fire was of incendiary origin. Jack answered by saying "no," because he felt that the building had been set on fire.
The student societies were listed that included the president's name and club yell if provided: Adelphian Literary Society (James Remine, "Stand 'em on their head. Stand 'em on their feet. Adelphians, Adelphians. They can't be beat."), Ossolian Literary Society (Bess Remine), Jefferson Literary Society (Oliver Robertson, "Rah, Rah, Rah. Row, Row, Row. Boom (stomp foot). Jeffersonian, Jeffersonian, Jeffersonian."), Francis E. Willard Society (Ruth Allison, "Chick-a-lac-a, chick a-lac-chog-chog-chog. Francis E. Willard rog, rog, rog. We are the Willards. We are the best. We are the girls of the WLS."), Victorian Literary Society (Lorna Whiteside), Athenian Literary Society (Katherine Sells) and YMCA (Clarence Miller).
There were 39 sponsors of the yearbook: The Hub, W.M. Silver Company, Unaka National Bank, The Hart & Houston Store, Hecht's Bakery Inc., R.C. Hunter Agency, The City National Bank, Wm. Silver Optometrist, Ferguson Drug Co., Tennessee Electrical Supply Co., City Shoe Store, Johnson City Steam Laundry, The Kiosk Ice Cream Parlors, Connor Brothers Furniture Co., Gunnar Teilmann's Florist, Colonial Hotel, J.E. Crouch, Miller's Drug Store, Masengill's Ladies' Shop, C.P. Faw & Co., Boston Shoe Repairing Co., Lockett Brothers Co., White City Laundry, Jones-Vance Drug Store, The Frank Taylor Store, I.N. Beckner & Son, Smith Shoe & Clothing Co., The Bon Marche Ice Cream Parlors, Dosser Brothers, Mountcastle-Summers Hardware Co., Gump's Leading Clothiers and Furnishers, Coca Cola, H.R. Parrott Motor Co., Davis-Fain Co., Brading-Sells Lumber Co., Garden Drug Co., Tranum Brothers (with its famous rocking horse sign), Muse-Whitlock Co. and The Charley Cargille Studio.
Additional ending thoughts about leaving the old institute of learning can be noted in the first and last stanzas of "Good Bye Science Hill," written by Anne Huddle:
"Dear Science Hill, we've loved you long, And now we must bid you good bye. We've filled you with laughter, We've thrilled you with song, And sometimes we've wished we could cry. Your walls they have witnessed a wearyful fight, and rung to a won Waterloo, But oh in our triumph, we are dreary tonight. Goodbye, dear old school, to you.
"How cold, still and lonely, how weary you seem, A last wistful look and we'll go; Oh, will you remember the Class of Seventeen, The class that you comforted so? The shadows enfold you, it's drawing tonight, A smarting tear blinds each eye; Alas, but it is stinging and stabbing our sight, God bless you old school, good bye!"
In March 1961, 44 years later, my classmates and I experienced those same melancholy feelings when we too bid our final adieu to the same old nostalgic brick building that we affectionately referred to as "the Hill." We finished the last three months of our senior year at a new modern school on John Exum Parkway.

Our patches for 5.0 have attracted significant interest. You can read about SecondLife's experience here, as well as what Flickr had to say on their blog. The main improvements come in both performance gains and improvements to diagnostics (such as the improvements to the slow log output, and INDEX_STATISTICS). Despite having many requests to port […]

Impact of logging on MySQL's performance
Introduction When people think about Percona's microslow patch immediately a question arises how much logging impacts on performance. When we do performance audit often we log every query to find not only slow queries. A query may take less than a second to execute, but a huge number of such queries may significantly load a […]
MySQL Binaries Percona build10
We made new binaries for MySQL 5.0.67 build 10 which include next fixes: We addressed concerns about potential logging and statistics overhead, so now you can fully turn on / off query statistics for microslow patch and user statistics in runtime. Next variables were added:
| slow_query_log | ON |
| slow_query_log_file | /var/lib/mysql/slow_query.log |
for compatibility with MySQL 5.1
| userstat_running | OFF |
to control gathering of user statistics.
With both slow_query_log = OFF and userstat_running = OFF […]

New patches, new builds
We made new patches, improved previous and want to announce new builds for 5.0.62, 5.0.67 and 5.1.26 versions. One of biggest changes we separated releases of 5.0 into two branches. First, just "-percona" release is more stable and contains only stable and proven on many installation patches. Second is "-percona-highperf" release, which contains experimental patches […]
Percona builds with Percona patchsets
Percona has a strong team of MySQL developers and consultants on board, so we decided to prepare builds with our patches and third-party patches which we think are very useful. We actually use these internally and for our customers. Current releases include: microslow patch (enables microsecond resolution in slow logs) execution plan (show info about […]
MySQL extensions for hosting
A few weeks ago I was asked to isolate some functionalities from Mark Callaghan's MySQL patch bundle. They were extensions adding per-user and per-table accounting to the database, accessible with a new set of commands such as SHOW TABLE_STATISTICS, SHOW INDEX_STATISTICS and SHOW USER_STATISTICS. The first two can interest anyone to periodically check what data […]
Updated msl (microslow) patch, installation walk-through!
For a couple of months there have been no updates to our msl patch, however recently I managed some time to change this. The functionality was extended a little bit and what's even more important the patch is available for all the recent MySQL releases. To remind anyone who has not yet come across this […]
The new cool MySQL patch has landed! Check your queries performance!
Microslow patch is used by many DBAs and developers to accurately time their queries and to catch those which run less than a second as they can also be a performance killer for a busy application. Recently I have started the development of an updated version of the patch. The basic idea is the same […]
Guess what?! Microsecond slow query timing finally available in MySQL!
Vadim asked me yesterday to update Microslow patch for 5.1.21, because the previous one I wrote for 5.1.20 failed to apply correctly on the new MySQL release. Imagine the expression on my face after I unpacked the sources and found out that MySQL incorporated the patch to their release. So it's a built-in feature now […]

Perot Museum of Nature and Science
- Type: Museums
- Time to Spend: 2 hours to Half Day
|Overall Rating:
|About these ratings
If you've brought the kids to the Big D, set aside some time for a visit to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. This 180,000-square-foot facility is jam-packed with hands-on exhibits and educational displays that address such topics as Texas ecosystems human evolution. One particular highlight for recent visitors was the T. Boone Pickens Life Then and Now Hall, which features towering dinosaur skeletons and the opportunity to dig for fossils. The Rose Hall of Birds also captivated visitors: Here, interactive displays explain how birds fly and socialize.
Many travelers say that the Perot Museum makes an excellent respite from the hot and humid Texas weather. However, recent visitors warn that the museum can feel overcrowded at times, especially during the summer.
The Perot Museum sits a few blocks north of the Dallas World Aquarium, on the outskirts of downtown Dallas. You can reach the museum by taking the No. 29 bus from downtown. There's also on-site parking available for $8. You can stop by the museum between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday or from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The first Thursday of each month also offers extended hours to 9 p.m., with additional programming and late-night films. General admission is $15 for adults, $12 for teens ages 12 to 17 and $10 for children ages 2 to 11. Admission to any special exhibits or 3-D films will cost extra. Tickets can be purchased in advance through the museum's website; however, in order to receive any available discounts (such as military or teacher discounts), you must purchase your ticket at the museum.

Hoka One One came into my life about 2-3 years ago when Jeff showed them to us via social media. My face looked like the Nile River with a cascade of tears from laughing so hard. I immediately started calling him Neil Armstrong because they looked like moon boots. Not long after that Kevin began sporting them. The raves and reviews permeated every conversation. I would hear things like:
- I recover so much faster.
- I do not feel the pounding on my legs like I do with my other shoes.
The incessant chanting of positive thoughts was thrust into every conversation we had about these ridiculous looking shoes. Before I knew it Karen purchased a pair after talking to Jeff (I tell you he could convince eskimos that ice was the ideal solution to any problem they had and they would pay for it. See Rocky Raccoon 50.) Then the claims from Karen were too hard to ignore but I fought it. I loved my Brooks Launch, and still do. EMZ began wearing them and she too lauded over how great her legs felt after running with them. KC, of the Ironman Chattanooga Challenge, became the next convert and all the sudden I was faced with a tribe of people I respected telling me that the Hoka One One was the shoe to end all shoes. Not exactly that way but their claims of fast recovery and ability to go longer without issues started to pique my interest.
When Rocky Raccoon 50 training started I did not own a pair but after the first week of 50+ miles after not having run 50+ miles in two months combined led me to the decision to get a pair. I knew that in order to survive the training that RR50 was throwing at me I would need the ability to take as much off of my legs as I possibly could. I had pairs of compression socks already but that wasn't enough. I was eating properly after every long run but that wasn't enough. Convinced that this was the right move I ordered the Mafate. Soon thereafter I ordered the Stinson. Let it be known that today I am a Hoka One One convert and here is why.
Hoka One One Mafate
I purchased the Hoka One One Mafate for the specific reason of using them for Rocky Raccoon 50 on February 8. The Mafate has lugs on them that make them ideal for running trails but I figured I could also use them on the road. The description on the Hoka One One site says:
The ideal shoe for ULTRA marathon runners looking for a lightweight, stable and performance cushion running shoe that can hammer the down hills and make it easier charging the up hills.
I figured I would have zero issues running the roads and since the training for RR50 involves charging uphills and sprinting downhills I couldn't have found a better shoe than this one correct? Wrong. This shoe is tremendous and I absolutely love it but not for the road. The lugs do as they are intended and grab the road, which is ideal on a trail but not great on concrete. I felt as if I were pulling my legs up just to get the lugs to release. Now, this may have all been in my head but it was enough to throw me off as I was running in them.
I put on a total of 33 miles in the Mafate but after the first run I felt sharp pains in my right foot after about 6 miles. I would keep going and within 0.5-1 mile the pain would go away. I couldn't figure out exactly what it is about them but when I went back to the Brooks Launch that pain in my foot did not exist. It had to be the shoes and more specifically using a trail shoe on the road. In addition to the lugs I had to get used to the heel-toe drop. The Brooks Launch which I have been using for the past 3 years is a 9.5mm drop while the Hoka One One Mafate 3 is a 4mm drop. While the shoe looks like a boot and has tons of cushioning it is actually a very minimal shoe in terms of the heel-toe drop and this was something I had to adjust to.
While the foot pain was evident after about 5 miles and last for up to a mile what I did notice was that my legs were not fried. I have done 4 runs in the Mafate 3 up to this point with the maximum being 12 miles and all the others being recovery runs after longer days or long weekends and my legs did not feel like I assumed I would from the pounding that they were taking. I was becoming more and more convinced of the magical powers of the Hoka One One. Despite the frustration of the foot issue I was sold on the shoe as a great long run shoe as well as recovery shoe and purchased the Stinson which is more of a road shoe.
Hoka One One Stinson Tarmac
I was like Ralphie from A Christmas Story when the Hoka One One Stinson showed up at my doorstep. I could not wait to rip open the box and get them on my feet as fast as I possibly could. I poured over my training plan to try to figure out the best day to wear them and when I figured it out I laid them out like a bride lays out her wedding dress the night before the big day. They may even have sparkled. I was excited and when I put them on for the first time I was greeted with the feeling of pillows on my feet. Could this really be? Could these shoes that looked like cinder blocks actually weight next to nothing? They sure felt like it but let's go take them for a test ride.
The Hoka One One slogan is Time To Fly and with the first few steps that is exactly how I felt. It was December 19th and I had run 174.45 miles since November 25 and was averaging nearly 54 miles over those 3 weeks. My legs were beginning to get tired and I was starting to get cranky. On this run I managed to bang out 6 miles at an extremely low HR of 140 bpm with not even the thought of my legs feeling tired. The shoes were doing what they were intended to do and that was to provide cushioning to my legs and feet. I felt like I was running on air and felt very fast in comparison to the miles on Monday thru Wednesday of that week. The best part was that I did not experience any form of stabbing sensation in my feet. I was getting more and more convinced that these were going to be my long road and recovery run shoes. I would wear the Hoka One One Mafate 3 on the trails and the Brooks Launch on the treadmill.
The Stinson has heel-toe drop of 6mm which is slightly bigger than the Mafate 3 but much less than the Brooks Launch. Rotating all three shoes through my training would allow me to strengthen my feet and calves from different perspectives and I believe that this is also contributing to my fast recovery. At this point I have run 23 miles in the Stinson with the longest being 12 miles and each run has felt good to great along with no issues the next day in terms of my legs feeling warn out.
Hoka One One Conclusion
The Hoka One One shoe is for real. While they may look like clown shoes they do what they are intended to do and that is to provide cushioning. Heading toward a weekend where I will run 23 miles on the trails in the Mafate 3 and 12 miles on the road in the Stinson I am excited because I know that while my legs will be tired they will not be thrashed as if I were to only wear one type of shoe that has less cushioning.
The combination of the different heel-toe drop and the 23mm of cushioning make the Hoka One One a shoe that is ideal for long runs and recovery runs. Of course, like any other shoe you need to test them to make sure they not only fit you properly but provide the support that you need. The Mafate is neutral shoe that weight 14.7 oz while the Stinson is also a neutral shoe that weighs 11.9 oz. The Brooks Launch weigh 9.3 oz but they feel heavier and that is most likely due to the pounding your feet and legs feel on each foot fall thanks to the 'lack' of cushioning in comparison to the Hoka One One line of shoes.
In the end I think I have the right combination of shoes for my running. The difference in weight coupled with the difference in heel-toe drop added to the difference in cushioning between each shoe is allowing me to maximize my recovery while building strength for the ultra run training I am doing. As a matter of fact I think that the Stinson could be in my changing bag when I race Ironman Chattanooga in September of 2014 because of the comfort of the shoe coupled with the cushioning it will afford my legs after 112 miles of biking.
