Who is Agent Dash?!
Who is Agent Dash? I can tell you, he's a very clumsy Agent! The queen of Britain has hired him as it's believed that he's the best in the country! I'm sure that you've already noticed that Agent Dash is pretty similar to Johnny English. Very clumsy and ridiculous! For all of you who don't know who Johnny English is, here's some information about him. He's a fictional character who is played by the famous actor Rowan Atkinson, also known as Mr. Bean. And if you want to know how Rowan looks like in that movie, here's a little picture:
Lately, he got into big problems. The queen is sending him all across the county where he's facing lots of challenges, risking his life every day. We are talking about Volcano's, haunted villages, missions under water and even space! The queen is obviously providing him with all the equipment he needs. Such as jetpacks, weapons and most of high quality gadgets. All together combined you get a catastrophe! I'm a hundred percent sure that you have a clumsy friend which always messes up something, don't you? Now imagine that friend working for your country and having all the weapons he needs? Risking his life every day which makes you wonder how he's still alive?! Now that's Agent Dash!

My questions are... Do you have DW 3000 double pedals, and what do you think about them? Tell me your thoughts even if you have tried them. How fast you can play with them?

I too have the 3000's and paid the same as you dRummmm. Yes the beaters are like playing with cinder blocks as beaters. I have a quick foot even for a relatively intermediate drummer and I get frustrated when trying to do quick doubles or triplets because I know "at least I think so lol" that these beaters and/or pedals are holding me back. I'm telling you I can feel the twitch in my foot wanting to do doubles and triplets and cant because these beaters are holding me back. If I change out the beaters, which I will be doing soon (have had these pedals for 8 months) and it doesn't get better I am going to feel pretty dumb for paying $200 for DW pedals that have ended up hindering my fun and progress. Although I look at it on a bright side as well. For the time that I have had these I have sort of gave my right AND left leg/foot a work out. So considering how well I can play with the current heavy setup, I can only imagine how well I could flow with either lighter beaters or new pedals. Which I too am looking at the Speed Cobras.

Exactly, I said the same thing above. I sort of see it as weight training for my legs and feet lmao!

I think the 7000 series which are double chain and very adjustable, just put the amazing lightweight hardcore beaters on and they have power and will fly like 5000's. I recommend checking the 7000 or 3000 series (I believe they are the same).
I really, really, really,
hope you're right! I plan to either get red wood beaters, the Tama IC beaters, or a Gibraltar light weight beater. Gonna see what's instock at GC when I go and then if they don't have anything I'll just make a decision and order something. All your posts about the heavy beaters holding this pedal's potential back give me a lot of hope!! Thanks!

Volleyball Falls in Season Finale
FORT WORTH, Texas – The West Virginia University volleyball team fell in its final match of the season Saturday afternoon to TCU 3-0 (11-25, 15-25, 8-25), at the University Recreation Center.
The Mountaineers (8-22, 0-16 Big 12) hit their second lowest hitting percentage in conference play of .011, as the Horned Frogs (15-14, 4-12 Big 12) controlled the match with a strong hitting percentage and serving.
A sluggish start by the Mountaineers at the beginning of the first set let TCU take an 11-3 lead and made WVU use both its timeouts early. The Mountaineers responded with three straight points, but the lead was too much as the Horned Frogs recorded 13 kills and a .458 hitting percentage to win the first set 25-11.
TCU dominated the second set and took a 20-3 lead before a kill from junior outside hitter Elzbieta Klein sent freshman outside hitter Nikki Attea back to the service line where she recorded three straight service aces. Kills from junior middle blocker Arielle Allen and Klein forced the Horned Frogs to use a timeout, but the Mountaineers were not done as Attea recorded another service ace out of the timeout followed by two more kills from Klein. A kill from Yvonne Igodan ended the Mountaineers' 9-0 run, as TCU finished off the set with a block and kill from Mattie Burleson.
Freshman outside hitter Hannah Sackett came out of the break with a kill to start the third set, but the Horned Frogs responded with an 8-2 run of their own by capitalizing off of WVU errors. A service run by Megan Munce put TCU in full control of the set as the Horned Frogs would win the set and the match.
Klein led WVU in kills for the fifth time this season with eight kills and only one error for a .350 hitting percentage. Attea recorded a season- and career-high five service aces, including four in second set alone. Freshman libero Anna Panagiotakopoulos led the back row with 13 digs for her 13th match of the season with double-digit digs.
This concludes the 2012 season for the Mountaineers who finish with an overall record of 8-22 and 0-16 in the Big 12.

When Mississippi State admitted its first African-American student in July 1965, no riots or demonstrations erupted as occured on a number of Southern campuses. Instead, approximately 200 whites simply watched as the young man began pursuing his education.
Yet while MSU's integration was not marked by violence, the young man often found himself virtually alone. Such were the times in Mississippi.
Dr. Richard E. Holmes of Columbus will return to his alma mater on Feb. 4 to discuss his role and experiences at the land-grant university during "Leading Out Front: A Conversation with Dr. Richard Holmes."
The free, public presentation will begin at 6 p.m. in Colvard Student Union's Bill R. Foster Ballroom. The Holmes Cultural Diversity Center -- named to honor the doctor's influence at MSU -- is sponsoring the program as part of the national Black History Month observance on campus.
Holmes, who grew up in Starkville, earned his liberal arts degree from MSU in 1969. After he finished his master's in microbiology in 1973, Holmes left the Magnolia State to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a medical doctor, which he did in 1977 when he completed medical school at Michigan State University.
During the years following Holmes' graduation, the university has recognized him many times. Recognitions include naming the cultural diversity center in Holmes' honor in 1991, naming him National Alumnus of the Year in 2006 and awarding him an honorary doctorate of science in 2011.
Holmes has returned to campus numerous times over the years, including when he accepted a staff physician position in 2003 at MSU's Longest Student Health Center, as well as when he and his wife Judie endowed a scholarship for MSU minority students in 1991.
When Holmes was admitted to MSU, he wrote a letter to administrators stating that he wanted to attend to come and learn; he did not want special favors.
On the 40th anniversary of his admission, he said the MSU family had treated him respectfully, both on his first day of classes and throughout his studies at the university.
"I always was moved by the fact that no student would close a door in my face as I entered a classroom or building," Holmes said at his 2003 commencement address. "If students preceded me into a building or classroom, they would simply hold the door until I entered.
"Only a university dedicated to fairness and excellence could have carried out such an orderly transition and such a quiet burial of past practices."
To learn more about Holmes' Feb. 4 visit, contact Ra'Sheda Forbes, diversity center assistant director, at 662-325-2033 or email@example.com.

2014 - The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Rutgers University Meteorology Program.
Open House ...
Meteorology is the study of weather and climate, of the characteristics, structure, and processes of the atmosphere. Students learn how to forecast the weather and how to understand climate change. The emphasis of the Bachelor of Science degree program is on developing a broad understanding of the fundamental physical and dynamic processes governing the motions and behavior of the atmosphere, and its interactions with the underlying land and ocean surfaces. Basic courses in chemistry, physics, and mathematics are the prerequisite foundation on which the meteorology program is built. Students who wish to pursue an undergraduate meteorology degree should have a strong high school or equivalent background in mathematics and the sciences prior to enrollment. This program meets all the U.S. federal government civil service requirements for classification as a meteorologist and the American Meteorological Society recommendations for undergraduate meteorology programs.
We are pleased to announce the establishment of a WeatherWatcher Living-Learning Community starting Fall, 2009. Located in Perry Hall, the closest dormitory to our Environmental Sciences Building, on the Cook Campus, a pastoral paradise, the WeatherWatcher Living-Learning Community offers special benefits to its student residents interested in the weather and climate, who want to learn about broadcast communications. Community members have the opportunity to work and learn in the field while living with students who share common interests. A professional television studio, located right on the floor, facilitates the production of thrice-daily weather forecasts airing on the Rutgers University Television Network. In 2014, WeatherWatcher, the Meteorology Club, and Mike Lee all won Scarlet Awards for Outstanding Use of Technology, Outstanding Educational/Academic Program, and Treasurer of the Year, respectively. For more information, click here.
During the summer of 2012, Steve Decker took 15 Rutgers students on a two-week 3-credit course "Severe Weather Field Trip." Read about the story here and here. And read about the 2014 trip here. Watch the video from the 2012 trip:
Past graduates of the program have found employment in weather forecasting
organizations (government and private), academic/research institutions, private
consulting firms, the media, and industry. Graduates seeking advanced
degrees have gone on to study at a variety of institutions, including many of
the leading research universities. A survey of students graduated over the
last decade indicates that nearly all students who wanted to do so found
positions working in atmospheric science-related fields or have attended
graduate school for an advanced degree. One of our 2003 graduates, Dylan
Dreyer, is now doing the weekend weather on the Today Show and the weekday
weather on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
Read the story here about Dylan's return to Rutgers on November 8, 2013 to share
her experiences.
Among our many graduates with television careers, here are a few other examples. 2011 graduate Kelly Ann Cicalese, was awarded Best Weather Broadcaster in the state of Wyoming in June, 2013, and is now at WSAZ in West Virginia. 2012 graduate Alyssa Caroprese, works as a broadcast meteorologist at KDRV in Medford, Oregon. 2006 graduate Lauren Casey does the weather at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis.
The faculty aids graduating seniors in finding jobs or in graduate school admission. The program keeps a data base of companies that have hired its students so that future graduates can use it to aid in their search. A November 8, 2011 report on employment rates of graduates reports that Meteorology majors are in the top ten in the United States, with an unemployment rate of only 1.6%. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook reports that the 2010 median income of Meteorology graduates was $87,780 per year. Do well and you will get a job.
It's never too late to become a meteorologist. Read New York Times article about returning to school to study weather and climate.
Our faculty conduct state-of-the-art research creating new knowledge in weather and climate. This offers students opportunities to participate in research projects as undergraduates. We also operate the Graduate Program in Atmospheric Science, which has been ranked by the Chronicle of Higher Education as 5th in the nation in scholarly productivity. In addition, eight members of the Rutgers faculty participated in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in December, 2007.
Office, classroom, and laboratory facilities are located in the Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences Building on the Cook College campus. We operate a state-of-the-art weather station in the nearby Rutgers Gardens. Click here for the latest weather observations.
The Rutgers Undergraduate Meteorology Program is offered on the Cook College campus and is administered in the Department of Environmental Sciences. The Cook Campus was recently described in a Daily Targum article as a pastoral paradise.
A combination of several factors makes the study of Meteorology at Rutgers unique and highly rewarding:

An official has warned people living on the slopes of Mount Bromo in East Java to be on high alert after a surge in volcanic activity on Wednesday.
Bromo was put on level 4 alert, the highest status, after it began erupting on Nov. 4. Twelve days later, the government downgraded it to level 3 alert, but the volcano sprang back into life on Saturday, hurling ash and smoke 2,000 meters into the atmosphere.
Gede Suantika, head of the Bromo emergency response team at the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Agency (PVMBG), said that even though the alert status remained unchanged, residents in the area should take precautions.
He said the 2,329-meter-high volcano on Wedenesday was still belching thick clouds of ash 1,000 meters into the atmosphere, which were being blown to the north and northeast.
"The warning remains the same: Don't go within 2 kilometers of the crater because it's very dangerous right now," he said.
Suantika said there was also a marked increase in the frequency of volcanic earthquakes in the area, and it was unknown how long this heightened volcanic activity would last.
"It's quite unusual that the volcano is showing increased activity after weeks of silence, but it seems to be happening right now with most of Indonesia's active volcanoes," he said.
Suantika also warned of increased activity at Mount Kerinci in Sumatra's Jambi province, which is also at level 3 alert.
On Tuesday, Antara news agency reported that Heri Prasetyo, the head of the Kerinci monitoring post, had set an exclusion zone around the peak, a spot popular with hikers.
Heri said it was too risky to climb up to the peak — which at 3,805 meters is the highest point in Indonesia — because volcanic tremors have been increasing in frequency.

tbpp122043wrote a review of Giordana Silverline Men's Bib Knickers on March 9, 2013
Great buy
I do a lot of cycling in cooler weather and found these bib knickers to be the perfect mix between comfort and warmth in cooler temps. The super roubaix does its job to keep your front warm, while the back breathes. I'd use these in temps from 40s-60s.

The other day Tim and I walked out the side door of our house, the one in the kitchen beneath our upstairs neighbor's stairs, and I said to him how strange it was to step outside and see so much life around us. As he mentioned in the last post, late February around here has meant occasional warm days, with the grass beginning to grow, the birds chirping, the air fragrant, the skies blue; that's the sort of day that this was. I had my hair pulled back in a ponytail, no makeup on, wearing an outfit of yoga pants and Tim's crewneck gray sweatshirt that reminds of something 1980s dads would wear. We were going for a walk, telling ourselves to get some fresh air, to stretch our legs, to exit the house we'd been cocooned in for the last few days, mourning the very opposite of what these bright, new signs of life were signifying as we breathed them in. It's strange to be surrounded by signs of life when your body is bearing the signs of death, and the physical realities of an empty womb are loud realities, hard to distract yourself from, hard to push away.
We hadn't known we were pregnant for long. We'd only known for a number of days, actually, just long enough to get in a routine of falling asleep talking about baby names, buy a little vintage newborn outfit at Goodwill, download a Baby app on our phones that would end up reminding me this past Monday that my baby would have been six weeks old, forming its nose and ears. One day we were staring at each other in joy (and a little bit of terror), talking about decorating a baby's room and bringing a kid home at Christmas, and the next day, we weren't.
Over the past week, we've found ourselves surrounded by what we cannot understand—from the very wonder of conception to the very shock of death. Both are above me, quite honestly, too great to comprehend. And as as I've made companions of these weighty, enormous realities, the contrast between them and the simplest, smallest bits of life has never seemed so stark. The crisp, fresh air. The laundry that needs folding on the bed. The kitchen and all it contains. There's such a sharp divide between the abstract headiness of a lost pregnancy and the tangible reality of putting together ingredients to create something to eat. Making a sandwich can be the most routine, everyday task, so inconsequential, so banal, so not something worth talking about. But, for me, these last few days, making a sandwich, or baking a batch of cookies, or washing the dishes, has also been a call back into life, into everyday routine, into the sort of things I can hold in my hands instead of just my head. Making a sandwich, I guess, can in its humble way be a way of choosing life, a way to fight to keep moving, keep stepping forward, keep walking moment by moment into feelings hard to understand or know how to explain.
So that's what we did one afternoon this week, Tim and I. We packed up sandwiches of sautéed mushrooms and quickly pureed thyme pine nut butter and alfalfa sprouts, bringing them, along with carrots and ginger lavender tonic, to a quiet, sunny space nearby. Wrapped up in our coats, breathing cold air, feeling it on our faces, squinting in the sunshine, we ate sandwiches while we looked at a lake and heard dogs barking in the neighborhood around it, signs of life in us and all around us, waking us, shaking us, back into today.
Deciding whether or not to mention our miscarriage here has been a hard decision, so please be gentle with us in your comments. Ultimately I wanted to share it here because of how much reading other people's stories has helped me and because somewhere someone might be reading this today or many months from now, feeling the comfort of another person's story. Also, someday when these feelings feel far away, I don't want to forget that I had them.
I tend to love most things I get to eat in the sun with Tim in Nashville, but these sandwiches were good enough to enjoy anywhere. From the sturdy toast base to the nutty, thyme-infused spread to the meaty mushrooms with a slight kick of spice and the crunchy sprouts, these sandwiches are multiple textures, complex flavors, and a great combination in the end. I can't wait to make them again. One possible variation suggestion would be to use long slices of portabellos instead of creminis, to make them more resistant to spills.
- 1 heaping tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 cups (170 g) sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt, to taste
- 4 slices sourdough bread, toasted (or your favorite sandwich bread)
- Alfalfa or broccoli sprouts, as desired
Prepare the mushrooms: In a large sauté pan over medium heat, warm coconut oil until hot. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper, stirring everything to coat. Let cook for about 10 minutes, or until soft and shiny and a little golden. Remove from heat.
Prepare the thyme pine nut butter: In a small pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until fragrant, just a few minutes or so. Place them in a food processor or high-speed blender along with olive oil, thyme, and salt; blend until coarse, spreadable mixture. This should give you about 1/8 cup of spread.
Make the sandwiches: For each sandwich, spread half the thyme pine nut butter on one slice and arrange half the mushrooms on the other. Top mushrooms with sprouts as desired, and cover with thyme pine nut butter slice. Cut in half to serve, if desired.

Oh, how difficult. I'm so sorry. Your observations about routine feel so true: when I'm going through dark times, it's the acts of eating breakfast, going to the gym, going to work that help me start to feel normal again.
Wishing you and Tim the best right now.
Shanna and Tim – I am so, so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers xo
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar
These look so freaking good. I love the recipe!
So brave and so sweet and so life-affirming all at the same time. I have nothing left to say faced with the beauty of your words and your heart, and the greatness of this sorrow. All our love is with you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Shanna & Tim. Thinking of you – with love and prayers. – Medha
Oh, Shanna & Tim. My heart breaks reading this. Know that you are in our thoughts and that we are sending so much love from our home to yours. xo
I know there are no good words of comfort right now, just know that you and your entire family will be in my prayers.
Shanna and Tim, I am so, so sorry. I've always loved reading your stories, but this one made my heart break. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to publish this. I'll keep your family in my prayers!

Marie @ Little Kitchie
Shanna and Tim, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Will be thinking of y'all and praying for comfort for you both. xo
Oh dear friend, I'm so sorry. So so sorry. Your post brought tears to my eyes and made my heart ache for you and Tim and your loss. Although it may have been early, I found so much comfort in those who told me that no matter how long, I was still a mother for that very short period of time. I have no doubt that God will take this experience and weave it into your bigger story. I will be thinking of you and praying for you in the weeks and months to come as you heal, both physically and emotionally. Let me know if you ever need to chat.
Lots of love.

Sarah Kate Branine
I love you very much, Shanna. It feels very strange to write instead of calling you but I don't think words over a telephone line would be any better right now. I'm praying for an overwhelming peace in your mind today, one that has no explanation from the human heart.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. xoxo
So very sorry to hear of your loss.
Writing it down helps in the moment. It helps years later, too, I can tell you. I'm so very sorry!
I am so, so sorry.
Ugh. Ignore that first part. That's the computer telling me I forgot to include my email address when I commented. D'oh.
Hello. I have been following your blog for a couple of years; I have never before written but this time I feel the need to say that I am very sorry; that I understand completely what you are going through and that He is your strength. And at the same time to thank you for showing me how deep your love is for Him; the way you and your husband live is inspiring to me; you found freedom where I was shown not Love but duty.
Even though I do not cook a lot, I always read your posts and look forward to them.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Tim.
Thank you.
I am de-lurking to say I am so sorry for your loss. I think it is wonderful that you found the courage to write about the miscarriage publicly, being vulnerable can be such a scary thing, I just wanted you to know that you touched my heart today and reminded me of the importance of reaching out.
Sweet sweet friends. You're surrounded by love and prayers, even if you don't always know they're there. You're deeply loved by many and beloved to your Father. May you find hope amidst great loss.
I'm very sorry for your loss. perhaps it not desire to understand the feelings or try to explain any of it after all how can there be a way to? Possibly a task that is beyond we mere mortal beings. sometimes all one can do is continue to take one breath at time, one step at a time or one sandwich and lunch in the sun at a time. may God's blessing fall upon you both.
Jennifer T
I am so terribly sad for you, Shanna. Any child will be blessed to have you and Tim as parents, and this precious child already HAS been blessed to have you as parents–remember that, forever, you are now a mother, no matter what. And you are a wonderful mother, one who loved her child from the beginning and will always love this child as well as the other beautiful blessings that will come in time.
Different things resonate with each of us differently, but perhaps you will like this post: http://thelewisnote.blogspot.com/2014/02/why-miscarriage-matters-if-youre-pro.html I saved it to read again if I am ever in the position to go through this myself or alongside a friend.
I wish I could be there to make you some soup and some hearty bread and to give you a hug! Lots of love to you and Tim.
I am so very sorry for your loss Even though I've never met you, I wish I could bring you guys a meal or further help somehow through this difficult time…. You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you and sending love + light.

Shanna, I had goosebumps reading this post – and this weighty, enormous news that you and tim have had to deal with stays heavy on my mind. Thanks for your bravery and courage and honesty in sharing this sadness of your life with us – as you mentioned, your stories (in all sincerity and openess) may one day help someone else, someone else who needs to know they aren't alone, and that grief is lighter shared. My love and prayers for the both of you, both whom God has greater plans for, and both whom love God and his divine plans so much.
Oh, Shanna. I am so sorry. I pray that God's peace is with you during this time.
Oh, Shanna. My love goes out to you, friend. I can only imagine the heaviness in your heart. I hope you know that these things happen to more people that we think; it's not talked about much which is why I think you are so brave to share your grief so openly. One foot in front of the other. Time will heal you. xoxo
Big hugs to you…I am so sorry. Truly so brave of you to share.
So sorry Shanna. Praying that the peace that passes all understanding be with you today. ??
Shanna & Tim, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share your life with others. I know God will bless you & use your words in a special way where they are especially needed. Praying for you.
I have no clever or helpful words. I just have my soul that feels for you and for Tim. Sadness. It was just Saturday that out of the blue I was swept with a huge empathy for Jackie Kennedy telling a friend that she had lost children and no one seemed to understand the weight of that let alone her husband. Thank God you have each other. And. God. Love and prayers to you from my heart.

A Message from Chief Sean Whent
It has been two years since I took my position as the Chief of the Oakland Police Department. It has been an incredible honor to work with the community and fellow City of Oakland staff during this time. The people of Oakland are passionate and committed and the men and women of the Oakland Police Department are the hardest working police employees in the country. I see an amazing amount of energy, commitment, and compassion expressed every day.
When I took this job two years ago, I quickly set my top three priorities as violent crime reduction, organizational excellence, and building community trust and partnerships. We have made significant progress in each of these areas.

Oakland Police Department Participates in the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) 39th Annual Training Conference
On July 11-15, 2015, OPD Deputy Chief Danielle Outlaw and Lieutenant Sekou Millington attended the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) 39th Annual Training Conference and Exhibition in Indianapolis, Indiana. Both are members of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter – Region VI.
This year's theme was NOBLE & Indy: At the Forefront of Achieving Diversity in Law Enforcement. Keynote speaker U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch discussed the commitment of the U.S. Department of Justice to improving relations between law enforcement and minority communities. The Oakland Police Department is equally committed to impacting issues of diversity in policing and strengthening relationships with diverse communities.
One workshop, "Challenges Women Face in Leadership Positions," discussed the unique challenges and opportunities women face as they rise through leadership positions in public safety organizations nationally and internationally, some of the barriers women leaders face, and strategies to overcome those barriers. The workshop was moderated by Ms. Melody Jackson, Retired SAC Senior Police Advisor, U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics & Law Enforcement. Panelists included Deputy Chief Outlaw, Deputy Chief Cerelyn (CJ) Davis of the Atlanta Police Department, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Patricia Gallon of the Metropolitan Police Service and Deputy Commissioner Novelette Grant of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
Positive feedback regarding the panel discussion led to NOBLE National President Gregory Thomas's announcement of a new committee that will work to create and ensure equity for woman in policing. Deputy Chief Outlaw will serve as a member of this new committee at next year's NOBLE conference.
Congratulations to 36th Citizens Police Academy Class Graduates – On Monday, April 27, 2015, the 36th Citizens Police Academy (CPA) graduated after spending nine weeks together learning about the Oakland Police Department firsthand. The course provided a window into the complexities of policing and a chance to build relationships of trust with OPD. After a welcome by CPA coordinator Ana Martinez, three members of the graduating class – Jenny Chea-Vaing, Akiba Bradford, and Earl Jacobs – spoke. Ms. Martinez formally introduced the class and Assistant Chief Paul Figueroa awarded class members their graduate certificates. The CPA is a vital part of OPD's efforts to strengthen community relations. During the course, students have conversations with command staff, police officers, dispatchers, and field technicians. The Academy is a great opportunity for community members to learn about policing in Oakland from the perspective of an Oakland Police officer. (See more on our facebook page.)
Oakland Police Department Featured in Popular Mechanics – The April 2015 issue of Popular Mechanics contains a photo essay, "Police in the Panoptic Age," about the technological revolution brought about by the use of body-worn cameras in policing. The spread includes black and white photos of uniformed OPD officers with their body cameras and an interview with Chief Sean Whent. Chief Whent provides background information about OPD's experience with body cameras since we began deploying them in the field in 2010 and points out the valuable impact the cameras have had on our efforts to build community trust. (Access the interview and photos here.)

Early Morning Arrest of Two for Unlawful Possession of a Loaded Firearm – On Sunday, July 26, 2015 at about 2:15 AM, Oakland Police officers responded to a call of a person armed with a gun in the area of 8th and Washington Street. When the officers arrived, they saw a car that matched the caller's description. The officers made a traffic stop in the 450 block of 8th Street. The officers observed a firearm in the vehicle. The two occupants of the vehicle were arrested for unlawful possession of a loaded firearm.
OPD Arrests Two for Unlawful Possession of a Loaded Firearm – On Saturday, July 25, 2015 at about 10:30 AM, Oakland Police officers were dispatched to the 5500 block of Claremont Avenue to investigate a report of a robbery. The officers met with four victims who said they had been walking to the Rockridge BART station when they were robbed at gunpoint. Witnesses were able to provide detailed descriptions of two suspects. A short time later, Oakland Police officers located the two suspects at a local store in the 1500 block of 40th Street. A loaded firearm was found in the suspects' car as well as stolen property belonging to three of the victims. The suspects were arrested.
Carjacking Suspect Arrested – On Thursday, July 16, 2015 at approximately 11:00 PM, a man and his girlfriend were carjacked at gunpoint in the 800 block of E. 20th Street. The suspects also robbed the woman. One day later, at about 11:20 p.m., an OPD officer observed the carjacked vehicle in the 2300 block of Fruitvale Avenue and a pursuit ensued. The driver of the vehicle, who was the sole occupant, drove it onto the lawn of San Antonio Park before he jumped out and ran.

Armed Robber Arrested; Carjacked Vehicle Located – On Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at 2:21 PM, Oakland Police officers were dispatched to 30th Street and Broadway to investigate a robbery/pistol whipping that had just occurred. The victim told officers that two suspects had approached him and demanded his bag. When he refused, one of the suspects hit him with a gun and then the two fled to a waiting vehicle driven by a third suspect. The victim was transported to the hospital in non-life-threatening condition. Not long after the attempted robbery, the getaway car was involved in a vehicle collision in the 3100 block of Telegraph Avenue.

At this time the subject's name is being withheld pending family notification.
There were no uses of force by any officers at any time during this incident.
In accordance with standard protocol, the death is being investigated by the Oakland Police Department Criminal Investigation Division-Homicide, Internal Affairs Division and the Alameda County Coroner's Office to determine the cause of death.
The investigation is on-going and anyone with information is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at (510) 238-3821 or the TIP LINE at 777-2805.

Lady Crusaders ease to 3-0 start
On one sunny field Friday afternoon at Grace Christian, everything went according to plan for the Lady Crusaders, while on a second field on the campus, nothing went well for the home team.
On the soccer pitch, Madison Bolen and Torie Boyte combined for seven goals as Grace Christian (3-0) remained perfect on the young season with a 9-0 win over Freedom Christian.
Freedom Christian, the No. 1-ranked squad in the NCISAA 1A baseball ranks, handled the Crusaders (2-2) with no problem for an 11-0 win.
On the diamond, the Patriots had the Crusaders in trouble three pitches into the game - and it wasn't with a hard hit ball yet in the game.
With a fly dropping into shallow center for a hit, then a dropped pop up to shortstop and a grounder, which could've been a double-play ball but turned into another Crusader error, the Patriots had one in, two on and no outs right away. Clean-up hitter Austin Deal kept the runs coming with a two-run double into left-center.
Crusader starting pitcher Micah Welborn did well to keep the first inning to a 3-0 score, then held the Patriots in the second.
The Crusader bats never got going though as Patriot pitcher Logan Hales, a tall lefty, fired a one-hitter. A fifth inning single was the only runner Hales allowed.
Welborn retired eight straight Patriots through the third, fourth and fifth innings before Freedom Christian rolled up six runs in the sixth to bring up the mercy rule.
The Crusaders, with an 8-0 versus Vandalia, then a 10-day break thanks to bad weather, and a 16-3 win versus Friendship Christian on Tuesday, had no problems getting hits and runs in their last two games. Grace Christian will play in a three-day tournament at Cary Academy beginning Thursday.
Grace Christian won via mercy rule on the soccer field, getting to 9-0 23 minutes into the second half.
Boyte opened the scoring and a converted penalty kick by Bolen made it 2-0 a few minutes into the match. Bolen finished with four goals and two assists while Boyte had three goals and two assists. Bolen and Boyte have seven goals each through three matches.
Jazmine Urrutia had a goal and an assist with Charity Taylor scoring a goal and an assist apiece for Kyndle Wallace and Alexis Hunt.
The 3-0 start is the first-ever such start to a season for Lady Crusader soccer, which brings more optimism than normal considering the team's youth said head coach Chris Pratt.
The routine Lady Crusader starting 11 includes one senior and 10 players sophomores or younger.
"This is my third year (with Grace Christian), and I think this is the best field unit we've ever put together, so we're very excited," Pratt said.
The Lady Crusaders begin their Carolina Christian Conference season with a trip to Crossroads Christian on Tuesday.

Hand-knit socks have a pretty hard life at my house. I wear them exclusively, every day, and I'll be honest with you: these days, I always machine wash them.
During "wood stove season" (roughly October through April) I hang them up to dry. In the months when I'm not heating my house, there's no point trying to air-dry anything, so I run them through the dryer, too.
This morning I put on a pair of knit socks and it took me a surprisingly long time to figure out what was going on down there. At first I thought I had stepped in something damp, and that's why there was a cold spot. What can I say? I hadn't had my coffee yet.
This was a pretty good pair of socks. Although in the last six months or so, they had become so worn that the fibers itched between my toes by the end of the day.
I knit them back in 2007 and look how much more vibrant the colors were! Five years of hard labor will do that to ya.
They were Lisa Souza "Sock!" yarn in the colorway Mombassa. (Lisa later left me a comment clarifying that she had once met a lion named Mombassa, and that the colors of the sock yarn were modeled after the colors in his mane.)
Also, I finally decided that the slime puddle below the tree was a blob of tree sap from an infection. Tree pus, basically. And, wow, I had completely forgotten about how much I loved "24" at first.
Goodbye, socks. You did good!
(Oh, and thanks for the compliments on my living room rug! It's a hand-me-down from relatives with far better decorating taste than my own. I love it!)

Thanks, Linda. I went into the post and added the working link, as well.
Libraries were always among my favorite places. As a kid, the library was a building filled with all sorts of magic and possibilities.
Judge Sam has always been, and is, one of the nicest, most sincere people I've known. He'd always take a phone call from me and discuss whatever I wanted to discuss, but always reminded me it was off the record and I couldn't use it. And that never bothered me.
He even came out to a National Columnists' Day luncheon one year at Bogey's and gave a nice speech about Bob Shryock and me. At least, I think it was about us.
And the people at the judges' school in Nevada adore him!
Tim's quiet, placid video of the two turtles on the log rivals those peaceful nature spots that come at the end of CBS' Sunday morning program. Good job, Tim and Shelly!

Great photo, Jim! Thanks!
Thanks. The link is fixed now. Appreciate you spotting it.
Thanks for the explanation of what chemicals were released. We're reporting only on what residents said they smelled in this story. We didn't smell it personally, thank goodness.
Yep. My typing mistake. I fixed it above. Thanks for catching it.
Bob, this is a terrific story, and well-told.
This is a great story, Jess Driscoll! I've known Satyra for little while now and her actions do not surprise me in the least!
Clap your hands if you believe!
Is this the same Leo Selb who used to be police chief in Woodbury Heights?
Thanks for your oversight. The sentence, however, is correct as written, as it refers to more than one police officer.
Mr. Fenton, I'm honored that you saw fit to comment on the column. Please know that we are thankful for your son's service and his extreme sacrifice for his country — and thankful to his parents for raising a son who would go that extra measure. It's fitting that Matthew should be remembered in such a lasting way.
Oct. 18 was a Saturday in 2008, when this story was posted online. Not sure how you missed that.

Nope. That was my mistake, and it has been corrected. Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for calling our typographical error to our attention.

Is This The Age of Disposable Computers?
Hi all and thanks for visiting my blog.
Is This The Age of Disposable Computers?
No of course not, but let me explain this little tale and you'll see how I got that title….
About 18 months ago I upgraded my PC and gave my daughter my old one for her college work.
Shortly after this I had a bit of a scare regarding my eBook website which made me sit up and think about backing up my system, sites, files, folders and everything else that I have sat on my computers.
I bought myself an external hard drive with a huge amount of storage on it and backed everything up. I then went to my laptop and old PC and moved all of my files and folders onto the external HD, so that all of my work is in one place and safe.

Cat's Claw
Cat's Claw is an exciting discovery from the Peruvian rainforest. Also called Una de Gato, Cat's Claw has been used for hundreds of years by the native Ashanica Indians. It has been the subject of scientific research throughout the world since the 1970's and is considered one of the most exciting health-promoting herbs. Cat's Claw is a unique South American herb available in several different forms. NOW has taken great care to provide only the highest quality pure inner bark of Peruvian Cat's Claw.
Uncaria tomentosa is one of approximately sixty varieties of Cats Claw that grow in tropical rainforests around the world. This particular variety is primarily found in Peruvian rainforests.

Studies have shown that Cats Claw provides an outstanding phytochemical profile, including glycosides, triterpenes, phytosterols, polyphenols, and proanthocyanidins. These constituents work synergistically to support immune system health.*

This White Cobra Driver Is Sweet
It's funny, a few months ago when TaylorMade was starting to release the Rossa ghost putters (btw, I have one, and it's awesome), I predicted that it would be just a little before they came out with a white driver, like the one John Daly used to rock in the early '90s.
Well, you snooze you lose, because Cobra released a white-head driver, and it's awesome looking.
It's a limited edition ZL driver, and it will hit your pocketbook around $625, but there is no price on being the coolest guy on the range. No word if there are any lefty heads, but if I find out I'll let you know.

Back in the 70s I rubbed down and resprayed my wooden driver many times just using car respray can lacquered over.
I must have had the only purple and yellow driver in existence!
The Cobra driver looks fantastic but at $625 I wouldn't dare hit the thing.
Anyone buying one better be able to play a bit but I suppose there are a lot of "all the gear but no idea" merchants out there that easily parted from their cash. :-)

Clearly there is, and it's around $625.

It looks sweet, but for $625, I would expect it to come with its own Iron Byron!

The headlines
The Guardian: Male and female brains wired differently, scans reveal
The Atlantic: Male and female brains really are built differently
The Independent: The hardwired difference between male and female brains could explain why men are better at map reading
The story
An analysis of 949 brain scans shows significant sex differences in the connections between different brain areas.
What they actually did
Researchers from Philadelphia took data from 949 brain scans and divided them into three age groups and by gender. They then analysed the connections between 95 separate divisions of each brain using a technique called Diffusion Tensor Imaging.
With this data they constructed "connectome" maps, which show the network of the strength of connection between those brain regions.
Statistical testing of this showed significant differences between these networks according to sex — the average men's network was more connected within each side of the brain, and the average women's network was better connected between the two hemispheres. These differences emerged most strongly after the age of 13 (so weren't as striking for the youngest group they tested).

Not Doing College
My 18 year old daughter decided not to go to school this year, 2001-2002. She had been working, but quit about 2 months ago. She's been looking for another job, but not very hard. We talked about available opportunities for her, but, unfortunately, I really don't know of any. Does anyone have or know about any resources for kids who didn't choose college? Internships, volunteer opportunities, community service, etc? I feel like she's floundering, that she really would like to be engaged in something, but is not sure what. I'd appreciate any help you could provide.
-- Linda
Find out what she likes to do and maybe she could take a series of courses that would make her more successful. That's not the same thing as a degree. Someone once told me to get eighteen months of training (last couple of months) for anything and that will go a long way towards getting a better job. I've never stopped training since I started working (but no college). Technology is always improving so there's always something new to master out there. Look into the different trade schools. Perhaps she just hasn't figured out what she wants to do with her life yet. Marianne

I don't want to write this post. I wish I didn't have to. I don't want to defend Colin Campbell because I don't think he does his job particularly well. Really, it's not entirely his fault. The job he does shouldn't be the responsibility of just one man. The ire of the NHL's fans for unfair and inconsistent decisions on discipline shouldn't fall on any one individual. But it does.
Just because I don't particularly like the job he's doing as head of NHL discipline, however, does not mean I disagree with all of his decisions or even the reasoning behind those decisions. Following the decision to not apply any supplementary discipline to Raffi Torres after his Scott Stevens-esque dismantling of Brent Seabrook, the NHL made the admirable choice to be open about the reasoning behind this decision and released the following statement from Colin Campbell :
When Rule 48 (Illegal Check to the Head) was unanimously adopted by the General Managers in March 2010, there was no intention to make this type of shoulder hit to the head illegal. In fact, at that time, we distributed a video to all players and teams that showed a similar hit on a defenseman by an attacking forward coming from the opposite direction behind the net and stated that this is a 'legal play'.
This hit meets none of the criteria that would subject Torres to supplemental discipline, including an application of Rule 48: He did not charge his opponent or leave his feet to deliver this check. He did not deliver an elbow or extended forearm and this hit was not 'late'.
Ignoring for the moment the scare quotes around "legal play" and "late," which could be seen in more cynical circles as a sign of sarcasm, this statement seems quite reasonable. Campbell indicates that Rule 48 does not apply and runs down the list of other infractions that could be suspendable, finding Torres innocent of all charges. He even points to the video that was sent out to all teams when Rule 48 was put in place and, indeed, there is an example of such a hit being labeled as legal.
But many, many people in the media could not accept that Rule 48 did not apply. Most latched onto the phrase "behind the net" in Campbell's statement and made the astonishing logical leap that Campbell was implying that "behind the net" was some sort of "special hitting zone," according to Damien Cox, wherein "otherwise illegal play is okay." Cox's response is the most absurd of the bunch, somehow managing to compare the Torres hit with the blatant boarding done by Jarret Stoll on Ian White, but others have jumped on the "hitting zone" bandwagon, including Cam Cole, who is taking the opportunity to assassinate Raffi Torres' character, and Bruce Arthur, who has taken to twitter with a series of increasingly humourous tweets about "behind the net" that completely miss the point.
So now I feel like I am forced to comment on an issue that I wanted nothing to do with, because the story of the Torres hit has become the story of the "special hitting zone" and how the NHL rulebook apparently doesn't apply "behind the net." It's hogwash, bullpucky, and various other less cutesy words.
In his statement, Campbell isn't saying anything about "behind the net" being a special area in terms of discipline and Rule 48. Instead, it is a clarification of the rule, which states that an illegal check to the head is "a lateral or blind side hit to an opponent where the head is targeted and/or the principal point of contact." What Campbell is saying in his statement is that when a defenseman is skating behind the net and an opponent comes from the opposite direction, then the hit is not deemed to be lateral or blind side. That's it. It seems obvious, in hindsight: when two players are coming at each other from opposite directions, of course it's not lateral or blind side. Can a lateral or blind side hit still occur behind the net? Of course. But when the two skaters are coming from opposite sides of the net, there's some responsibility on the skater to look where he is going.
There's no special area "behind the net" that allows hitters to break the rules. All it means is that when two skaters are coming at each other from opposite directions, then the hit is not a lateral or blind side hit. Prior to this decision, some even compared the Torres hit to Matt Cooke's hit on Marc Savard – a clear lateral, blind side hit – when it should perhaps have been more appropriately compared to Willie Mitchell's hit on Jonathan Toews: a north-south hit where the hittee was looking in the wrong direction. Do I like hits to the head? No, of course not. I think the rule should be amended. But I don't like seeing the type of miscommunication I'm seeing right now between the NHL and members of the media.
Part of the miscommunication is that some people are under the impression that all hits to the head have been banned. They haven't. The NHL board of governors ruled against a total ban on hits to the head. Another part of the miscommunication is that Colin Campbell's statement doesn't specifically say that the Torres hit was not a lateral or blind side hit. This lack of clear communication has resulted in this hodge-podge of misunderstanding. Perhaps it isn't that Colin Campbell doesn't do his job particularly well; he just needs someone else to write his statements to the media.

Your post highlights perfectly for me what has become increasingly clear as this season has progressed and decisions from the NHL have become contradictory and unclear. Nobody, players, coaches, management, media or officials, really have any clear idea of what standard is now to be applied to physical contact in the game. There is obviously a groundswell of opinion that more needs to be done to protect the health and welfare of hockey players operating in a bigger, faster, better armoured arena. This is countered by many who feel that removing any part the physical violence would alter the nature of the game.
In my opinion the entire hockey establishment has done a woefully inadequate job of letting the players know what is acceptable and what is not. This is due, in large part, to the changing standards within the game as to what is a good hit and what is not. Players have been taught since their earliest days on the ice that a certain level of physical contact is not only acceptable but, in many cases, defines their worth as a player and a team-mate. If we are going to change this mentality it will take time and effort and consistency on the part of all concerned.
It is time for all parties to sit down together and establish what the standard for hockey is going to be, moving forward. The basis for the standard needs to be the safety and welfare of all players involved in the game at any level. The minor hockey governing body needs to be involved in delivering the message to players at an early age as to what is acceptable and what is not. The various levels of junior and minor hockey need to be involved in reenforcing those messages to those on the way upwards in the game. The NHL and the NHLPA need to establish a standard that all are in agreement on and that is clearly understood and accepted by all parties. Presently, the NHL doesn't do consistency and one sometimes gets the impression that disciplinary decisions are being taken after consulting a ouija board or magic eight ball first. For the good of the game, they have to learn. Officials need to be part of it too as they must ensure that the agreed standard is fairly and evenly administered, not the seemingly arbitrary penalization that often happens these days. The NHLPA must say to it's members that your opponents are your rivals, not your enemies, and consideration for the health and welfare of all players is one of the conditions of membership in our union.
It is only when all parties concerned know, clearly understand and accept the tolerable levels and limits of physical contact that we will lessen the risk to players to a realistic level. It is a violent. collision sport and accidents will always happen but the risk can be mitigated by the good will and co-operation of all concerned.
It is time for everyone who loves the game to step up and take some responsibility for it's future.
THANK YOU for writing this, Skeeter. I've almost lost my voice due to the amount of arguing I've been forced to engage in over these past two days. Now, instead of squeaking pathetically at people with whatever little voice I lave left, I can simply refer them here.
Interesting when Cam wrote about Zedeno Chara – http://t.co/c58CM0d – or on former Canucks fan favourite Matt Cooke – http://t.co/DXTdi01 – no one in Vancouver accused him of "character assassination."
Scott, I did discuss the way we tend to vilify these guys for their hits in this article: http://vansunsportsblogs.com/2011/04/07/the-players-who-commit-headshots-are-not-evil-2/
Excuse me but I thought we were playing a hockey game and not a hitting game. Seabrook was attempting to play the puck, the objective. The puck was loose, up for grabs, Torres blindsided him, target the head, he had no intention of playing the puck. It was a deliberate attempt to injure and he should of had a major and tossed from the game. Want to reduce concussions, ban headhunters.
Torres was attempting to separate Seabrook from the puck. That is one way to keep a player from playing the puck so that you or a teammate can then do so. To characterize Torres' actions as unrelated to the puck is disingenuous. To speculate that Torres was deliberately attempting to injure Seabrook is libel.
Good post. That's a really well thought out piece. I think that a hit behind the net can't be lateral but it can certainly be from the blind side as this hit was. The biggest frustration for fans is a combination of:
1. Torres clearly targeted Seabrook's head in order to injure him
2. Torres recently coming off of a suspension for a pretty similar hit
3. That Seabrook at no point played the puck
4. The quick rush to blame Seabrook for the hit by many
5. The NHL ignoring that Rule 48 is not the only rule in their arsenal through which they can discipline a player for a filthy hit.
The NHL, if they had a lick of brains or guts, could simply use the rule covering "Intent to Injure" in order to deal with hits like this one rather than hiding behind the fact that the league has not had the sense to remove a serious threat to its players.
Today's 1 game suspensions of Downie and Kunitz just illustrate what a useless clown Colin Campbell is in his role. I agree with you that he is under pressure because he's the only one responsible but that doesn't excuse the awful job he does.
Glad to see that a clairvoyant has finally weighed in on this subject, Pension Plan Puppets. What I saw was the puck, Seabrook and Torres arrive at the same point at the same time. Too bad that Torres was not, unlike you, a mind reader. He would then have known that Seabrook didn't intend to play the puck at his feet and could have, on the instant, aborted his intention to hit Seabrook and injure him. Tragedy would have been averted. Being able to see into people's minds so that you can know their intent is, sadly, a talent that too few of us possess. Consider yourself one of the lucky ones since you can clearly read two minds at once..
"Arrive at the same time"? One problem with your incredibly condescending (and stupid) reply is that the puck never did "arrive", now did it?
It didn't take any "mind reading" or special powers beyond normal sight. He didn't have possession of the puck. Period. It was an illegal hit, and it was a hit to the head. This is obviously not Torres' first offense. A serius injury as a result of an illegal hit should result in a suspension for someone with Torres's history.
I don't know what "mind reading" has to do with it at all. You (and Torres) may have a different "special power", and that's seeing things that didn't happen.
Take another look at the video Jim. The puck, Torres, and Seabrook all arrive at the same place at close enough to the same time to allow for Seabrook to be a target of a bodycheck. Seabrook committed the cardinal sin of hockey (especially for a D man) and that was to look back to where the puck was coming from. Torres did none of the things that the rule on intent to injure talk about: no arms up or elbows out. He tried to knock the snot out of Seabrook – this is allowed in hockey. No one gets indignant when two UFC fighters try to punch each other so why are you getting so worked up about this hit. That is hockey – there was no intent to injure and only a Hawks fan would think there was.
I suggest that you watch the replay again before broadcasting your stupidity to the world. You may also want to check tour facts, if accuracy means anything to you at all. The suspension Torres served for the hit on Eberle was the first of his career. Torres' disciplinary record stands up to scrutiny much better than your record of factual reporting.
OH dear! I feel like I've got Damien Cox in disguise writing multiple comment posts just to confuse and frustrate us all into pulling out as many hairs needed to achieve a world full of people as bald and ignorant as him. Stop your propaganda COX!
A short vent for people who just can't understand:
If you are skating towards me, with your head turned away, that is NOT your blindside. On the same token, if I am skating north and you come from behind me in a north west direction and I look over my shoulder right before you hit me, that IS a blindside hit.
Blindside has NOTHING to do with which direction your head is turned. IF this were the case, you would have far too many players turning their heads at the last second.
The fact is, that Seabrook is a defenseman. D-men are taught to play the body first. Torres knows this, Colin Campbell knows this, the refs know this, and Seabrook SHOULD know this (although it could be argued that he might not) regardless, Torres went to play the body as he probably expected Seabrook to, but Seabrook saw the puck coming so decided to play it. Seabrook WAS about to play the puck and that is exactly the reason why he was looking down and away from Torres. There is simply NO other reason for him to be looking away like that while skating FORWARD. If you have any doubts about the location of the puck just watch the replay. The puck is RIGHT there! The fact of the matter is, Brent Seabrook has his crest facing Torres, in the direction he's skating, and Torres knows this. Torres finished the check he needed to finish and if he were a split second slower, Seabrook would have had the puck on his stick and there wouldn't have even been a whistle on the play. Pull your heads out of your (expletives) and pay attention to what is ACTUALLY being said.
Arguing with people like this about a subject like this is like an argument with your girlfriend that started by her asking you how she looks in "that" outfit.
I'm sorry there is such intense jingoism is this town when it comes to the Canucks that it sometimes leaves me exasperated.
To see a genius like Timmy Wong call one of the most respected men in sports journalism an idiot or Daniel accuse him of character assassination because he took a Canuck to task for throwing the kind of hit that he's been campaigning against for years makes my blood boil.
totally agree on the character attacks. It's way out of line. Is Cam's column supposed to be the antithetical view just to get folks yapping or something? on this Torres thing he's been somewhat over the top. does he sit and chuckle at the comments perhaps? i actually have to avoid reading him lately because he's such a debbie downer.
Great post Daniel. You have redeemed my faith in sports writing.
Thank you for explaining how when 2 players come from opposite directions (at least behind the net) that it is not lateral or blind-sided. Except of course if one is skating backwards. You should moonlight as an analyst on TSN to set them straight.
If one wants to get upset about unjust, unpenalized headshots (which rule 48 is attempting to solve) one should look at this special by Abdelkator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yvRStSPYok (skip to 0:26)
If that is the rule, please explain to me how come Joe Thornton got 2 games earlier this year for coming out from the penalty box 30-50ft in front of a player, skating towards the player, then basically stopping directly in front of the player's direction of movement, lowering himself to brace for the contact and then letting that player who had the puck but was not looking where he was going, run into him?
Torres hit a player at a high rate of speed who didn't have the puck, both coming at an approximately 45-60 angle to the point of contact behind the net. Torres made no attempt to make a play on the puck, and made no attempt to avoid making direct contact with his shoulder to the head of the player who was clearly looking back towards the direction the puck was coming from, and in fact seemed to focus strictly on maximizing the head impact and completely ignore the puck. If he had played the puck at all, the impact to Seabrook's head would have been much less. This was a clear attempt to injure, not to play the puck or hockey.
Buster you are confused as to what constitutes a penalty here. You don't have to "play" the puck to be allowed to hit someone. You are allowed to seperate a man from the puck through the use of your body. Watch the timing of the puck, Torres, and Seabrook. They all arrive at about the same point at the same time. Torres was slightly late but, you are allowed to be a stick length away from a opposing player when he passes or is passed by the puck and still hit him. Torres is within this distance. Watch the youtube link in Steve's post above and see what the difference is between Torres' hit and that one.
This is idiocy. You say this hit was legal, but yet in the game it earned a penalty, proving it was NOT legal.
Can't have it both ways. With the clear intent to injure, he could be suspended on any number of policies if they wanted to, not just the mystical rule 48. NHL fails again, and players are hurt. Seabrook is out injured.

We will publish, among other things,
This list is almost certainly not complete. As scholarship related to our mission evolves, we will undoubtedly add categories we haven't thought about yet. In addition to our Articles and Mathlets sections, this issue has a Developer's Page. Future issues will have a Materials section (for modules and other materials that don't fit the Mathlets definition), and, as the need arises, we will probably have a Teacher's Page and a Student's Page as well.
Some issues of JOMA will have a "focus" (as this one is focused on calculus mathlets) -- for example, we will have issues focused on particular collections of materials, with outstanding examples of the materials appearing in JOMA and the rest in MathDL. The same issues might have articles from users about integrating the materials into courses, from researchers about how students learn from the materials, and from developers about selected mathlets. Other issues may focus on particular advances in technology, such as implementation of MathML in a wide range of instructional systems and browsers.
Here are some topics and categories of articles we expect to have in future issues, in addition to those already mentioned:
Most of these ideas are in some stage of development by various authors with varying levels of commitment, but some are ideas looking for authors, and perhaps some will trigger other ideas in the minds of potential authors.
