Head Coach Heather Macy
July 10, 2012
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Ollin Dunford, Jill Poe and Rachel Stockdale have been named assistant coaches for the East Carolina women's basketball program, according to an announcement Tuesday by head coach Heather Macy.
Dunford joins the program after a season at UNC Wilmington where he helped the Seahawks to their second-consecutive 20-win season for the first time in program history and a berth in the WNIT. During his time off the court at UNCW, he assisted in community service and outreach initiatives and served as a keynote speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes on numerous occasions.
"I'm thrilled to welcome Ollin and his wife, Siobhan, to Greenville," Macy said. "Ollin is an energetic and passionate coach. He will have a direct role with recruiting and player development. I truly believe Ollin is one of the young bright stars in this profession."
Prior to his time in Wilmington, Dunford was an assistant at USC Upstate where he helped the Spartans compile a 19-12 record and advance to postseason play for the first time in program history with an appearance in the Women's Basketball Invitational. He was also key in the development of Atlantic Sun Player-of-the-Year Chelsea McMillan and Second-Team All-Atlantic Sun selection Tee'Ara Copney while assisting in the recruitment of the Spartans' 2011-12 signing class.
Before arriving in Spartanburg, Dunford spent two seasons as a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech, assisting in the day-to-day operations of the Hokies program.
A two-sport athlete at Mars Hill, Dunford played football and basketball for the Lions and was a four-time South Atlantic Conference Commissioners Honor Roll selection. He also served as the representative for the South Atlantic Conference on the NCAA Division II National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (S.A.A.C.).
Dunford was an all-state football and all-region basketball selection at Smoky Mountain High School in Sylva, N.C. He earned his Bachelor's of Arts degree with a double major in Sociology and Psychology from Mars Hill College in 2008 and completed his Master's of Science degree in Physical Health and Education at Virginia Tech in 2010.
Poe owns 18 years of coaching experience at the Division I level, with an emphasis on developing post players, and arrives in Greenville after spending last season as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Maine. She was instrumental in bringing in the 36th-ranked recruiting class in the nation, according to Blue Star Basketball, and tops in the America East. The nine-member haul was also rated 57th overall by the Collegiate Girl's Basketball Report. The Black Bears advanced to the conference tournament and captured a win for the first time since 2006 as Poe mentored two all-conference players and an all-rookie selection.
From 2003-2007, Poe served as head women's basketball coach at St. Francis University, where she guided the Red Flash to a pair of Northeast Conference regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament on two occasions. While at St. Francis, Poe was instrumental in the development of NEC Player of the Year Beth Swink as well as a pair of NEC Tournament Most Valuable Players. Swink became the school's first ESPN The Magazine First-Team Academic All-American in 2005. Poe also coached a pair of NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients.
Poe was an assistant coach at UNC Wilmington from 2007-2010. While with the Seahawks, Poe coached Brittany Blackwell to CAA Rookie of the Year and Second Team All-CAA honors. Following her time in Wilmington, she served as Director of Video Services and Scouting for East Carolina during the 2010-11 campaign. Poe was responsible for the film breakdown for all opponents and produced scouting reports for coaches and players.
"Jill is a most welcome addition to the staff," Macy said. "Her coaching experience and background in the women's game is extensive. She has led teams to the NCAA Tournament and to conference championships and that pedigree will help lift our program to new heights."
Prior to taking over the Red Flash program, Poe spent seven seasons as an assistant coach to Dan Durkin at Duquesne, guiding the Dukes to four winning seasons. During her time as an assistant, four student-athletes earned eight Atlantic 10 all-conference honors while five garnered academic all-conference accolades.
Poe got her start in the coaching ranks as a student assistant to Kittie Blakemore as an undergraduate student at West Virginia University. She worked in the communications and journalism fields, covering scholastic basketball for the Dominion Post, a daily newspaper in Morgantown. After graduation, she was a middle and high school educator and coach in Northern Virginia for eight years.
Having earned a B.S. in Physical Education from West Virginia in 1989, Poe has devoted an abundance of time in a variety of clinics throughout her years of coaching including participating in YES (Youth Education through Sports) events and Coaches vs. Cancer clinics.
Poe served as a voter for the WBCA and USA Today top 25 polls from 2005-07 and is a member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
"It is an honor to rejoin Coach Heather Macy's staff at East Carolina," Poe said. "She is such a dynamic coach and person whose energy and dedication to success is indisputable. I am delighted to have the opportunity to return to Pirate Nation and work with her and this staff to continue to move forward. From the support of the administration to the hard work of the returning players, it is a testimony to the exciting things happening in this program and in the athletic department."
Rachel Stockdale spent last season as an assistant coach at Wake Forest University. The Demon Deacons' 2011-12 season was one of the best in school-history. Wake Forest won 20 games for just the second time ever and made a trip to the postseason for only the fifth time in school history.
"Rachel is going to shine at ECU," Macy said. "She coaches and recruits with the same competitive fire she displayed as a player. Her coaching and playing experience in North Carolina will greatly benefit our program and she will make a difference in our kids' lives."
Before arriving in Winston-Salem, Stockdale helped Elon reach new heights as an assistant coach. The Phoenix finished the season with a 20-13 record - the program's best campaign at the Division I level and was only the fifth team in program history to reach the 20-win plateau. The Phoenix's 11 victories at home marked the most home wins in a single season in the Division I era, while the team's postseason appearance in the Women's Basketball Invitational was the first since joining Division I.
Prior to Elon, Stockdale spent the 2007-08 season as the women's team videographer at Wake Forest. During that season, she was responsible for breaking down film and coordinating the film exchange between the Demon Deacons and their opponents. She also provided media relations assistance during the 2008 NCAA Basketball Men's East Regional.
As a student-athlete, Stockdale was a four-year varsity letter-winner at NC State. She led the Wolfpack to three NCAA Tournament appearances while also serving as a team captain. Stockdale earned a spot on the All-ACC Freshman Team and received the Peanut Doak Rookie of the Year award. She received her bachelor's degree from N.C. State in 2006 and was a member of the Dean's List.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to work for East Carolina and Head Coach Heather Macy," Stockdale said. "Her knowledge of, and passion for, the game coupled with the support for ECU Athletics and the women's basketball program, is incredible. I am extremely excited about being a part of helping the Pirates reach new heights and compete for Championships. I am certainly thankful for the opportunity Director of Athletics, Terry Holland, and head coach Heather Macy have given me, and the confidence they have shown in my ability to help elevate this program to new levels."

ZF-4040: Zend_Wildfire_Protocol_JsonStream->_encode using bad internal Zend_Json encoder
h3.The problem
* Encodes messages into the Wildfire JSON Stream Communication Protocol.
class Zend_Wildfire_Protocol_JsonStream
{ ...
// Use the JSON encoding scheme for the value specified
protected function _encode($value)
return Zend_Json_Encoder::encode($value);
Why there's Zend_Json{color:red}_Encoder{color} here in place of Zend_Json?! So I've got my UTF-8 debug output corrupted in FirePHP because of that.
Removing _Encoder lets Zend_Json::encode method to choose appropriate JSON encoding method according to PHP's json_encode function availability. After that my UTF-8 text displays correctly.
h3.Test code with string in russian:
// in bootstrap
$logger = new Zend_Log(new Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug());
Zend_Registry::set('log', $logger);
// in controller
Zend_Registry::get('log')->debug('Some debug text in english is OK'); // that's OK
Zend_Registry::get('log')->debug('Отладочный русский текст искажается!'); // that's corrupted
May be there's a reason to file another bug on Zend_Json_Encoder's _encodeString method? By the way, give a glance at FirePHP's main standalone class "FirePHP.class.php" and its "json_encode" method. It actually does the job right! May be ZJE->_encodeString should follow this example?
That was an oversight. Thanks for pointing it out.
Can you add some test code that logs a message where the UTF-8 test does not display properly?
I have looked into json_encode and Zend_Json_Encoder in more detail.
While json_encode detects recursion, it does not silently truncate the resulting JSON string but instead throws an exception. Zend_Json_Encoder on the other hand truncates it and still returns a valid JSON string.
It is very common to have cyclical relationships in your object graph which should get JSON encoded and sent to the client in a truncated fashion.
The best solution for the encoding would be to try json_encode first and if it fails fall back to Zend_Json_Encoder. This would mean that UTF8 encoded messages cannot contain cyclical object relationships.
The alternative would be to add UTF8 encoding support to Zend_Json_Encoder which would be great, but not practical as an immediate fix for this issue.
So would the fallback approach work for now until Zend_Json_Encoder supports UTF8 characters?
Looks like my tests were not correct.
json_encode() nor Zend_Json_Encoder silently truncate cyclical relationships.
I'll have to submit a patch for Zend_Json_Encoder to silence the cyclical exception.
Waiting for resolution of ZF-4053.
I have decided to stick with Zend_Json_Encoder and not try json_encode() first for the following reasons:
1) Zend_Json_Encoder adds more detailed information (i.e. the class name) when it trims cyclical relationships
"* RECURSION ([Class Name]) *"
2) Zend_Json_Encoder adds class hint information to the JSON string
{"__className":"[Class Name]", ... }
Zend_Wildfire_Protocol_JsonStream will support UTF-8 characters as soon as Zend_Json_Encoder supports them. See issue ZF-4054.
To speed up general support for UTF-8 characters, please lobby for ZF-4054.
The request is for UTF-8 character support. To accomplish this issue ZF-4054 must be resolved.

Brazilian Artist and Two New Yorkers Transform New York City
(Sponsored Post)
Bel Borba Aqui New York (BBANY) is a multi-facetted visual art project by Bel Borba, Burt Sun and André Costantini. It was conceived after André and Burt completed a feature length documentary entitled "Bel Borba Aqui", on Brazilian artist Bel Borba (which opens at the Film Forum in NYC on October 3rd.) BBANY overlaps the theatrical release of the film in addition to creating live street art and a new short film posted every day for 30 days. Where "Bel Borba Aqui", the feature film, was filmed entirely in his hometown, Salvador, Bahia, BBANY seeks to bring Bel's transformative artistic interventions to New York City.
It seems that sometimes the lines between art and life become blurred. What started as a journey documenting art became the art itself. So it was appropriate that the 30 days of street art is presented with support of the Crossing the Line Art Festival part of the French Institute Alliance Francaise (FIAF).
Bel Borba Aqui New York can be broken down into the following components. "Diario Baiano" (The Diary of a man from Bahia region of Brazil) is a challenge to create art for 30 days on the streets of the 5 boroughs of NYC from September 14th to October 13th. While Bel creates installations and ephemeral art using mostly recycled materials, Burt and André document his actions using D-SLR's taking advantage of both still and video capabilities. Because the art is temporary, the short films ultimately become the tangible art piece. Every day after shooting, André edits the film which is uploaded and viewable at http://diariobaiano.wordpress.com/ Then on Sunday October 14 many of the sculptural artworks created from recycled water barriers will be installed in Times Square by Father Duffy Square for a public showing for a 24 hour period.
Also in Times Square, for the entire month of October, as part of the "Times Square Moment: A Digital Gallery" will be the first film ever created specifically for the Times Square Art Alliance by Bel, Burt and André and is entitled "Universal Pulse." The collaboration depicts visual transformations on the NYC landscape evoking at once a sense of present and nostalgia. It will simultaneously occupy 16 Jumbotron screens around the square and can be viewed once a day from 11:57pm to midnight.

|Small red potatoes are first baked, then chopped or sliced and tossed with bacon and onion in a mayonnaise, vinegar and ranch dressing seasoning.
Bacon Ranch Cold Baked Potato SaladI've already shared my just-like-Mama's southern style no-frills simple potato salad but this one here is also a big favorite of mine. Initially, this was my attempt to duplicate a potato salad served at one of our local favorite barbecue hangouts, but since writing the recipe, they've changed their version which has no eggs, is much whiter in color and seems to be heavy in sour cream and mayonnaise.
Well, I really like this cold baked potato salad anyway, so I'll add it to my ever-growing group of potato salad recipes! Unlike my more traditional southern style potato salad, I prefer this one well chilled, so I do suggest making it up a day ahead if at all possible.
Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Bacon Ranch Cold Baked Potato Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 30 min |Inactive time: 2 hours | Yield: About 6 servings
- 3 pounds of small red potatoes
- Olive oil to drizzle
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup of diced red, yellow or sweet onion
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
- 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 stalk (rib) of celery, chopped
- 3 hard cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
- Dried parsley, optional for garnish
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and toss with salt and pepper. Bake until cooked but still firm - about 30 minutes. Cooking times as always are approximate, as ovens vary, so test with the tip of a knife for tenderness. Remove, set aside and let cool. Fry the bacon until it is crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, ranch dressing mix, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper until well blended. Scoot the dressing mixture to the side. If potatoes are larger, quarter, then slice into 1/4 inch slices or medium chunks, and add to the other side of the bowl. Chop the bacon and sprinkle over the potatoes. Add the onion, celery and eggs; gently toss to draw in the dressing, turning to mix well. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Cook's Notes: I love the added flavor that baking provides, but you may also boil potatoes if you prefer. Substitute J&D's bacon ranch dressing mix for the Hidden Valley Ranch mix.

Three students from Washington Heights where the per-capita income is half that of the rest of New York City received a surprise at their Senior Awards Dinner last Thursday, June 12, that may well change their lives.
The students, former participants in Catholic Charities Alianza division GPS program, short for Graduate, Prepare, Succeed, were each handed $20,000 Presidential Scholarships to attend City College in the fall '14. As the scholarships show, the GPS program designed to provide key support to promote higher education for low income teens clearly succeeded.
Guillermo Rivera, admissions counselor at City College, gave the awards to High School for Media and Communications Seniors Katherine Burgos, Nestor Ramos, and Jordi Caceres, praising them for their resiliency and perseverance.
"The night was filled with pride, joy, and a lot of excitement," said Catholic Charities Alianza GPS Program Director Pierina De La Cruz. "And the night could not have ended on a better note!"

We believe the power of opening our Pictela platform to agencies is the next step in scaling Premium Formats across the Web. Think of Pictela Enterprise as a content management system for ads, whereby creative professionals can efficiently deploy high definition ads across the Web, all the while being able to update and optimize the content of those ads in real time. We are putting the power of publishing in the hands of the ad agencies and their clients so they can take full advantage of the new larger ad sizes coming to market.
We also announced a partnership with Moat, a brand intelligence and analytics company. Through this partnership we conducted research that compared user interaction across three different versions of Kitchen Daily ads: the IAB Portrait format vs. custom rich media vs. standard animated Flash (all 300x1050 in size).
The results show that the IAB Portrait performed 12% better than the custom format and 72% better than the animated Flash version.
Twelve percent might not sound like much, but there's been a perception in the marketplace that the only way to build a highly engaging ad unit is through custom rich media executions. By teaming with Moat in this research, we are validating that Premium Formats perform as well, if not better, than custom executions and standard Flash, while providing the benefits of repeatability and scalability through a productized approach.
This initiative isn't just about scaling Premium Formats across the Web, it emphasizes AOL's continued commitment to consumers to make online advertising more beautiful and engaging.

If you're a Gleek and were not already excited for the Utah Pride Festival, you will be now. Alex Newell, who plays Wade "Unique" Adams on Glee, will perform at the fest on Saturday, June 1.
Newell says he aims give people motivation to be whoever they are and to never change for anyone. He also told us he's never been to Utah before and wants to see what it's all about. And, of course, he's coming to entertain.
"My idol is Beyonce, and she said, 'If I can make you forget all of your world problems that you have outside of the concert or of the performance, then I did my job right.'," Newell says.
Newell learned at a young age to be himself and accept who he is. His father passed away when he was 6, and he grew up with a single mother. He says this pushed him to find his confidence, because he didn't always have someone to speak up for him.
He advises others who are gay to come out when it is right for them and not for anyone else. "You have to be ready and confident and just—it's a hard thing to tell someone," he says. "It's basically what their heart says and what they want."
He says often the worst fear in coming out is not being accepted, which is made harder because the media sends the message that being gay is bad. "If you go to high school and you see the star quarterback on the football team, you think meathead, jock, antigay, all of that," Newell says. "So you're scared and you don't think they'll accept you for who you are based off of their stereotypes and what they do in high school."
Although Newell is a role model to many young fans, he says he's really just trying to be an individual. "I am always trying to be myself and just let everyone know that if I can be myself in Hollywood, where it's really hard to just be yourself, that shouldn't stop them from being themselves, whether they're in high school or college or even middle school," he says.
Being a part of Glee has taught him a lot. "It's given me more of that scheduling, organization and tenacity than anything else," Newell says. "It's also given me a platform to let my voice be heard more."
And Newell's overall message is for others to never try to be someone else. "That's like trying to fit a star into a square in the little box thingy that you do in preschool," he says.

February 13, 2012 — Casita Maria Center for Arts and Education, a Catholic Charities agency that has been serving youth in the South Bronx since 1934, recently launched a new library and reading program for children in need.
The program, created with the help of Catholic Charities volunteers through the New York Times Neediest Cases Fund and NYC Service Volunteer Project, is enriching Casita's services in the South Bronx and engaging local teenagers in volunteerism.
"We can improve our reading skills by having more book choices in our library," says tenth grade student Zoila Rodriquez who, along with 40 fellow teens donates her time as a volunteer reader.
The new library initially hoped to house 500 new books. But thanks to successful volunteer efforts, the library has more than doubled its goal. Catholic Charities donated more than 500 books through its annual Christmas toy drive, volunteer efforts triggered the donation of 500 more, and book donations continue piling in.
To help house this multitude of books, Catholic Charities donated funds to help transform a drab conference room into a library with wall-to-wall oak and pine shelving and glass shelf doors. Catholic Charities also funded the transportation of more than 50 Casita Maria children and staff members to a New York Times event to celebrate these new volunteer initiatives on February 2.
Foster Alcantara, a teenager who helped lead the book drive, drew huge applause when he accepted the award from the NYC Service Volunteer Project on behalf of Casita Maria.
"I dream of the day when I hear a famous person interviewed saying 'I learned to read at Casita Maria,'" Alcantra told the crowd gathered at the Times Center in midtown Manhattan.
On February 8, Cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan visited Casita Maria to bless the new library, meet with the children, and listen to a musical performance by some of the youth from Casita Maria music programs.
Casita Maria moved to the South Bronx from the agency's original location in East Harlem in 1961. Their programs include homeless services, drug rehabilitation, violence prevention, gang intervention, teen pregnancy prevention, and much more.

STANFORD, Calif. – A total of thirteen (13) Stanford varsity athletic teams have received Division I Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Awards from the NCAA, in an announcement made Wednesday, June 4. It is the highest total for Cardinal teams since the NCAA began tracking the data in 2004-05.
These 13 Stanford teams posted multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The school produced nearly half of the Pac-12 Conference total with the other 11 institutions combining for 14 awards.
Cardinal programs to receive the Public Recognition Awards are: baseball, women's basketball, women's cross country, football, women's golf, men's tennis, men's indoor track & field, men's outdoor track & field, men's volleyball, women's volleyball, men's water polo, women's water polo and wrestling.
On the heels of three-straight Bowl Championship Series appearances, Stanford football is illustrating dominance on the field and in the classroom where the Cardinal is one of just 13 FBS football schools to earn public recognition.
In baseball, the Cardinal is among just 32 programs and is one of two in the Pac-12 Conference to earn recognition. In women's basketball the Cardinal is the lone Pac-12 representative amidst 39 programs nationwide.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High-performing teams receiving awards posted APR scores ranging from 977 to a perfect 1,000.
Multiyear APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition, will be announced June 11.

Rutgers Earns 27-9 Win During "Celebration Of New Jersey Wrestling" Event
The Princeton wrestling team got off to its best start in years this season, but now it will get its first real test in dealing with adversity. The Tigers dropped a 27-9 decision to Rutgers in the 2013-14 home opener, which was the highlight in a "Celebration of New Jersey Wrestling."
The match featured two of the state's most prominent programs, and it was held in Jadwin Gym, a facility that has hosted both the New Jersey state championships and NCAA Championships.
Rutgers freshman Sean McCabe opened the team match scoring with a first-period takedown of Ryan Cash at 125. He reversed Cash quickly in the second to open a 4-0 lead and controlled the rest of the way to claim a 7-2 victory.
Princeton freshman Jordan Laster exploded out of the gate at 133 for a quick takedown of Scott DelVecchio to open a 2-1 lead. He escaped midway through the second to carry a 3-1 lead into the third. DelVecchio escaped quickly and used a double to score a takedown and grab a 4-3 lead. Laster was able to grab a brief lead with a reversal, but DelVecchio had the final takedown for an 8-5 win.
Needing a change in momentum desperately, Princeton sent out Krop, its nationally ranked standout at 141. He did his job in style, grabbing an early takedown and then turning freshman Tyson Dippery to his back for a fall at 2:44.
Princeton sophomore Kevin Moylan took the mat against Rutgers freshman Corey Stasenko, who used an escape and a takedown in the second period to open a 3-0 lead. He maintained control through the third and gave Rutgers the lead back with a 5-0 win.
Rutgers closed out the first half of the match with a 7-2 win from Anthony Perrotti, who controlled his match against Tiger freshman Matt Gancayco. The Princeton freshman was his usual aggressive self early, but Perrotti grabbed an early takedown and never let the momentum go.
Midway through the match, Princeton honored all former New Jersey state champions in attendance, including Lawrence Mackey, who won the 175-pound title for Somerville High in 1941.
Judd Ziegler opened the second half of the team match with a quick takedown at 165, but Nick Visicaro won a late scramble in the second period and turned it into a five-point move to open an 8-4 lead going into the final period. Visicaro got an escape to extend the lead, but Ziegler nearly pulled off a stunner during a late scramble. Visicaro was able to avoid a late pin attempt and opened a 15-6 lead for Rutgers.
Freshman Brett Harner was the early aggressor at 174, scoring a pair of quick takedowns early to open a quick lead over Phillip Bakuckas. After an escape apiece in both the second and early third, Harner's lead was 5-3. Unfortunately, the final two takedowns went to Bakuckas, who was the late aggressor. His last takedown opened a 7-6 lead, and he rode Harner for the win.
Sophomore Scott Gibbons, Princeton's wins leader last season, was locked in a scoreless duel for the first 4:58 of his match with Rutgers senior Dan Seidenberg, but a late escape in the second gave Seidenberg the edge heading into the third. Gibbons fought for a quick escape, but Seidenberg answered every charge and caught him for two quick back points to clinch a 3-0 win.
Sophomore Abe Ayala gave the Princeton faithful some late excitement by winning a thriller at 197. He had the early edge with a takedown, but Rutgers sophomore Hayden Hrymack scored both an escape and takedown to open a 3-2 lead. It would be 4-4 late in the third period when Ayala exploded into a double that put Hrymack down with less than 10 seconds to go, and Ayala walked away with the 6-4 win.
Rutgers finished the match with a first-period fall for nationally ranked Billy Smith, who caught Cole Lampman for a fall at 1:59.
Princeton will now focus on the Midlands Championships, held Dec. 29-30 at Northwestern. Two years ago, Krop made a national statement with a third-place finish at the event.

A prosecutor says a Columbia County deputy sheriff was justified when he shot and killed a McNeil man.
The Banner-News reports (http://bit.ly/VCFinU ) that deputy prosecuting attorney David Butler says Deputy Koby Schmittou was reasonable and justified in the Dec. 22 shooting death of 60-year-old Larry Pace.
Butler says audio and video recordings of the shootings from a camera system on the deputy's patrol car clearly show Pace approaching Schmittou with a weapon and that the deputy clearly told Pace to stop before he opened fire.
Sheriff Mike Loe has said Schmittou was investigating reports of Pace threatening residents when he shot Pace as the man approached the deputy with a knife.

What is the healthiest party diet? People who are trying to get in shape for a special event, such as a wedding, an award show, a class reunion or a vacation, often do extreme things to slim down and get in shape.
Common drastic measures can include bizarre food combinations, dramatic detox plans, such as the Master Cleanse…or just plain starving.
READ: The 3-Step Cocktail Dress Workout
Even more extreme, there have been many reports of people wiring their mouths shut or resorting to the K-E Diet, where a feeding tube is used to slowly drip 800 calories of protein, water and fat from the nose, down the esophagus and directly into the person's stomach every day for up to 10 days.
Dangerous Effects Of Dramatic Weight Loss
Yes, any and all extreme diet measures can result in quick and dramatic weight loss, but the downside is that, because these are all temporary fixes, the weight loss not only will not be long-term, but in many cases, will re-appear quickly, sometimes along with a few extra pounds. Aside from these diets being non-permanent solutions, medical experts also are alarmed by the extreme dangers that these women are putting themselves at risk for.
READ: Don't Do This To Lose Weight!
"Rapid weight loss increases the risk of heart arrhythmias, dehydration, and electrolyte disturbances," says Ethan Lazarus, a family doctor in Denver who specializes in obesity medicine. "Shedding pounds this quickly, he says, makes it likely that you will lose more lean body mass and water than fat. This can slow metabolism and result in an instant regain of weight once you go off the diet. You may gain more than you lost," says Lazarus.
Experts also point out that your waistline isn't the only thing that suffers from rapid weight loss. Other effects include shrunken fingers and feet and a drooping face—which can result in a loose wedding ring, flopping shoes, and a blushing bride with a dull expression.
What's The Right Way To Get Fit?
If you want to lose weight before an event, you should actually start your weight loss program at least 10 weeks before the event date, says Heather Mangieri, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Some people, especially with those with more than 20 pounds to lose, can safely lose more. Experts agree that eventually things will level out to 1 to 2 pounds a week for the average person.

It's realist only in that it the reality is that educated, affluent people tend to make up the majority of bike racers.
But the implicit idea that this correlates with bike racing by reflecting some sort of "higher ideals", which seems almost Randian, is total rubbish, that the "cream" of society gravitates to bike racing? What kind of psychological masturbatory exercise is that?

I'm not sure what you see, but that's pretty value laden language right there. Yes, it's a widely held belief, but it's a belief that's value based, even without touching on whether or not it's even true.
And then:
"They [who else is meant besides bike racers/BRAC members?] are the achievers of the world, not the slackers."
Yeah, no value or judgement inherent there. You totally got my ass.

|2010 Hall of Fame - Gerry Hagedorn
A Moscow man, born and raised, Gerry Hagedorn has been a Vandal for every one of his 87 years.
From his earliest memories of watching Steve Belko and Lyle Smith leading the Vandals on the court and the gridiron, to his own moments as an Idaho student-athlete and his lifelong support of the programs, University of Idaho Athletics is ingrained in Gerry's life.
When Gerry was a young boy, his mother's cousin, Dwight Scheyer, a thrower at Washington State, visited their Moscow home. Scheyer left Gerry with two things on that occasion - a newfound interest in the sport of track and field, and a black, rubber discus.
"I learned to throw it, but I hated chasing the thing, so I started throwing it against the barn," Gerry recalls. He left so many black marks on the wall of the barn his father threatened to make him re-paint the whole thing if he didn't stop.
In high school, neighbor and former Idaho track and field coach Mike Ryan, for whom the Idaho track office is dedicated, pulled Gerry aside one day after practice, handed him a wooden javelin and a couple instructional manuals
"I tried it and loved it - that old javelin has been stuck in many a wheat field," Hagedorn said.
Gerry was a natural in the javelin and won a pair of Idaho high school state titles in the event as a junior and senior. His shining moment in high school track and field came at the state meet in his senior season in the discus, however.
"I was having a pretty good day and I got a throw off that was 156-10, and that was a state record," Gerry says with a laugh, before mentioning that his toss was bested by the very next thrower. "So, I had the state record for two minutes."
In addition to being a standout track and field athlete, Gerry also played basketball for Moscow High and excelled for the Bears as a punter and a "hard-charging fullback" on the football team. He even received recruiting interest from the University of Washington, but it didn't matter, because his mind already was made up.
"There wasn't any decision," Gerry says proudly. "I wanted to be a Vandal, I didn't want to be a Cougar and I didn't want to be a Dawg - my brother was the same way."
Gerry spent two years as a walk-on for the Vandal track and field team and even earned a walk-on spot with the basketball team, but had his career cut short after he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. He served as a pilot during World War II before returning to Moscow. He wasn't able to finish his college career, though, because his father put him to work on the family farm.
Hagedorn went on to be one of the nation's top breeders of Polled Hereford cattle - his bulls won national awards and sold for as much as $50,000 each. He also served on the national board of the American Polled Hereford Association for many years.
While Gerry may have left school early to pursue his farming career, he never forgot about his Vandals. He was a founding member of the Vandal Scholarship Fund, an organization that has provided millions of dollars in support for University of Idaho student-athletes for more than half a century. Gerry's personal contributions to Idaho athletics total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and include the Vandal Athletic Center, the track and field offices and team equipment and endowed scholarships for student-athletes.
More than financial contributions, though, Gerry's personal connections to the program are what really stand out.
"When I first met Gerry, I just remember thinking, 'Wow, this is just the coolest guy ever,'" Idaho co-head coach Yogi Teevens says. "He would come by and hang out in the office and he fell in love with the team. He'd be at practice almost daily, just hanging out and watching the kids.
"He always just wanted to support us in any way he could, and it was a whole lot more than just financially."
Hagedorn would come to practice as often as possible and was a fixture at Idaho's local meets, and according to Teevens and many former Vandal student-athletes, Gerry's presence brightened everyone around him.
"I can vividly remember my freshman year when I first came to practice and Gerry was there," former Vandal Melinda Owen said. "We began our warm up laps and almost every one of the athletes stopped and bee-lined it to him as soon as they saw he was there. I was so amazed by how much the athletes adored him."
Teevens said that one particular event really illustrates Gerry's love for the team. He was watching Vandal great Russ Winger throw the discus at an indoor meet, and after Winger hit a big personal-best, Gerry was so excited that he jumped up, slipped on the steps and broke his hip.
"I was with him in the hospital that night before his surgery and all he could talk about was that throw," Teevens said. "He's lying there and the doctors are telling him he might not make it through the surgery, and he's just sitting there going on and on about how he got to see that throw and how excited he was for Russ."
For Gerry, the memories that stand out the most are the little things, like seeing Winger convert from the slide to the turn method in the shot put.
"He went through so much adversity during his career, and now he's got a wife, a house and he's getting his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering, and I'm just so proud of him," Gerry said of Folk. "That's the reason I do it. That's why I give to these guys."
The most telling evidence of Hagedorn's generosity and character is how he tells his life stories. Rather than boast about his many personal accomplishments, he'd prefer to point out the feats of the many others he's met at the University of Idaho and beyond.
"He's been so successful in his life and in this community, but you wouldn't know it unless you sat him down and asked him about it," Teevens said. "He always makes sure that other people have recognition for the things that they've done, and that's just the way he is."
Gerry adds, "I almost feel guilty about going into this Hall of Fame, when there are so many athletes greater than I, who aren't going to get there."
Greater athletes there very well may be, but Gerry represents a select group of Vandals whose impact can't be counted, timed or scored, but who have shaped the history and the future of athletics at the University of Idaho.

So the past month or two have been extremely... interesting. On the more mundane Front, I'm embroiled in a political battle to get the Administrative Position at the Cafeteria. The School's Payroll Lady has the Superintendent's ear and has been working (Using dirty DIRTY tactics mind you) behind the scene's to ensure that her niece gets the position (the last 8 hires at the school have either been members of this person's family or members of her church). My Grandmother has been in the hospital for weeks, had her colon removed and is STILL not out of there yet.
And that brings us to the important subject. The War of the Wills. To Start I'm gonna have to give a brief family tree/breakdown of my Dad's side of the family.
His parent's (my grandparents) are old hillbilly southerners... the kind of people that call the average a=African American male "That Nigraman" Not out of racism or hate but because that's how things used to be done. Good skoal chewin' ignorant salt of the earth. Well They had five Children....
The Five:
Yvonne - the oldest... one of the most wealthy. She's the conniver and feels that it's her right to rule the family.
Anne- basically a miserable old woman that likes to bitch about everything
Jeanette - My cousin Jeff's Mom.... she means well. mildly ignorant sometimes but pretty good people.
Freddie Paul - My Dad. Salt of the Earth... Good Man.
Billy Ray - The baby. He's a grizzled old trucker and now that his wife is dead, he's hookin up with 17-18 year old girls. Not a bad guy. Bit of a temper.
Then there are the Grandchildren... There are Nine of us.
The Nine:
Spawn of Yvonne:
Sharon - Oldest of the Grandchildren, used to think she was alright. Current Events have altered that opinion somewhat. Marries to Dennis (who gets his own special section)
Kim - Still decent people for the most part, even though she's on Team Evil Hasn;t spoken to her sons in years (my cousins Joseph and Jonathon - Good people)
Amy -A bitch. I THINK she holds the record for most marriages but it's close. She's Yvonne's factions pitbull.
Spawn of Anne:
Shon - A Pawn of the others. He's a kleptomaniac and has some real issues. Currently working off to pay a huge debt to stay out of prison. Anne gave him up for the most part when he was little and my Grandparents raised him. In Two of the Wills he gets their house.
Shane - Mostly forgettable and doesn't have much impact in the story. At least so far. His family has currently taken over Anne's house however and she lives in the living room instead of her bedroom. Her clothes are on wires stretched across the room.
Spawn of Jeanette:
Jeff - closest thing I have to a brother. Not Perfect but generally Good People.
Spawn of Freddie Paul:
Qoorl - Loveable caveman. Due to being born at least five years apart from the rest of the Nine I was sort of a black sheep. The Grandparents never had much to do with me.
Spawn of Billy Ray:
Tammy - Pretty decent people. In the running with Amy for most marriages.
Tina - Also decent. Moved away and has nothing to do with most of this tale. Also in the much marriage club.
Special Spousal Mention:
Dennis - Husband of Sharon. Disturbingly friendly and nice to me, but a verifiable psycopath. Kidnapped Tammy when she was around 4, pushed my dad down, pinned his wife to the garage wall with the CAR when she was going to leave him, was almost murdered by Billy Ray. Looks like the old redneck version of a douche.
So that's the little cast of players (not including spouses who do play parts here) Next post I'll get to the meat of the War of the Wills.

About the English Beat
The Beat (known in North America as The English Beat) was a ska revival band formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978. The original line up of the English Beat consisted of singer Ranking Roger, vocalist and guitarist Dave Wakeling, Andy Cox on guitar, bassist David Steele, drummer Everett Morton drums, and Saxa on saxophone. Each of the band's individuals brought certain elements to the group that allowed them to blend many different genres of music including ska, pop, soul, reggae, and punk rock. The group released three studio albums in the early 1980s: "I Just Can't Stop It" in '80, "Wha'happen?" in '81, and "Special Beat Service" in '82. These records yielded numerous Top 100 UK hits for the group. The English Beat broke-up in 1983, but all individual members continued to tour and record albums with other musicians. Wakeling still performs across the world under the English Beat name.

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and haven't yet explored the trails of Mt. Tamalpias and Point Reyes, you are missing some of the most incredible sights in the US! As my favorite map and informational guide to the area, it has led me to some wonderful trails. Just buy it -- you won't regret it!

Yesterday, I went to the game. As I mentioned in a previous post, I didn't purchase tickets, so don't fret. I am still holding my ground.
I was out there with Curt from Phins.com, and Dave & Bob from Finatics.com. We had a nice time tailgating, then went into the stadium. As we looked over the crowd, it was clear that it was a giant mélange of people: Dolphins fans, Gators fans, Tebow fans, Broncos fans, and a smattering of people who were none of the above (like the guy with the Packers jersey and cheesehead). During warm-ups, there was a pretty good "TE-BOW!" chant going on…shortly followed by a "TEBOW SUCKS" chant.
We see Urban Myer chatting with Tebow. How peculiar.
The first half was a dull affair. I mean, 6-0? And more punts than points or first downs? It was fantastically boring. There was this weird Gator celebration on the 3-year anniversary of their national championship, which included the Gator marching band on the field. It was almost surreal.
The second half gets under way, and Tebow has done nothing. He had 2 – yes TWO – yards passing at one point in the 3rd. There's really not much happening here. I actually find myself enjoying the fresh air and just sort of, well, nodding off isn't quite right, but I definitely lost interest in the game and was focused on whatever else was going on.
And enter the 4th quarter. The Fins got their first TD of the 4th quarter all year. It was a decent play that looked good as Fasano got in. Then, inexplicably, Sparano went for 2. Now he said afterward that every formula, card, the math, etc, all said he should go for 2 in that spot. And that's why these cards are wrong. One would have been the choice. It would have made it 13-0, with a lot of time left.
The Dolphins later got a field goal to make it 15-0 with 6ish minutes left. We heard that Steve Ross left his box because he wanted to head to the Dolphins locker room to celebrate the win. Most of the fans, likewise, departed the stadium apparently confident that the Fins would take this one. There was a stat shown that the Broncos hadn't been shut out since 1634 or something.
But there's this guy who has a legend – and according to the guy next to be, he's the favorite son of a deity – and he came to life. He believed in himself and his team. He got the ball and charged down the field to get a score. And suddenly its 15-6. Now again, I think the card is wrong. It says you go for 1 here, and wait to get the 2 until your next score. But I like to think differently. Go for 2 while there's still time left so if you miss it, you still have time for possibly a last gasp to get a field goal. Nevertheless, they take the 1 and its 15-7.
Steve Ross stops on the field, as he catches the score. He can't believe it. And he just "happens" to find Urban Meyer and they chat for the remainder of the game.
There was a collective groan from the crowd. Like we'd just been punched in the gut. They are still 8 points behind. Surely they can't get an onside kick, score again, and get a deuce – can they? And Marlon Moore misplays the ball on the onsides kick. The unraveling in this game has really begun. I laugh aloud, but refuse to get emotional, because you know – you just KNOW – that the Fins will manage to pull defeat out of what seemed a certain victory.
Tim puts the team on his back and has a really nice completion down to the 2. Then, it was an incredible play that saw him roll left and throw a screen right that got the score. They have crawled their way back. And he lines up for the 2-pointer. I started laughing aloud again (which makes everyone turn and stare). EVERYONE - and I mean everyone – was looking for the QB draw. Except, apparently for the Dolphins defense. Tebow scores to make it 15 each with 17 seconds left.
Miami gets a touchback and does the predictable thing. They fall on the ball. You are 0-5. You are at home. All you need is a score – any score – and its over. Plus, you need to tell your team that you believe in them. Give them a chance. What's the worst that could happen? A pick? So what?
OT: Miami gets the ball, and I tell the guys that its going to end of a turnover. I'm thinking pick-6. The Fins go three and out. The Broncos go 3 and out. Miami gets it back on about their own 40, and things are looking surprisingly good. Only – these are the Dolphins. Moore gets sacked. Fumble. Broncos ball on the 35ish. A couple of plays later, and it's the long field goal for the win.
Steve Ross decides to just get in his helicopter and leave. No comments, other than he's going out of town on Monday, so don't try and contact him.
And Miami is 0-6. Its not unexpected, but the way it happened was.
Although the game sold out, I would guesstimate 40,000 in attendance. There were A LOT of empty seats.
So who's my wanker of the week? How about a little love to Tony for his decisions. In this case, you were playing a team as bad as you, and you should have worked really hard to win. But you let them off the hook and lost. I'm not saying that its all on him, but I had to wonder what a press conference after a win would be like….would it start "see I told you we'd get this thing turned around…" ?

Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical entered a collaboration and license agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kirin (KHK) to develop and commercialize KRN23, a recombinant fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody intended to treat the rare metabolic bone disorder X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). KHK is currently completing a Phase I/II study in adults with XLH in the United States and Canada, and the two companies are planning to initiate a pediatric XLH program in 2014.
Per the agreement, Ultragenyx and KHK will work together to develop KRN23 for the United States, Canada, and the European Union, with Ultragenyx leading development efforts in the XLH indication. If KRN23 is approved, Ultragenyx and KHK will share commercial responsibilities and profits in the United States and Canada, KHK will commercialize KRN23 in the European Union, and Ultragenyx will develop and commercialize KRN23 in Mexico as well as Central and South America. KHK will manufacture and supply KRN23 for clinical and commercial use globally.
According to KHK, XLH patients have low serum phosphate levels due to high levels of FGF23, a hormone that represses the reabsorption of phosphate from the urine. KRN23 is intended to bind to FGF23 and render it inactive, leading to an increase in kidney tubular absorption of phosphate and increased serum phosphate levels. KHK says that KRN23 is potentially the first specific treatment that addresses the problem of excess FGF23 production in XLH.
"We believe that the collaboration with Ultragenyx will accelerate the development and commercialization of KRN23 and maximize its value in global markets," said Yoichi Sato, executive managing officer, vp, and head of the development division at KHK, in a statement. "Through the collaboration, Kyowa Hakko Kirin will continue to use its best efforts to bring KRN23 to XLH patients who need the new therapy the most."

As seen on the National Geographic Channel.
Price: $19.95
More than 1,500 years ago, ancient writings were buried that offered alternative narratives about Jesus of Nazareth. Rediscovered within the last century, these textsonce considered scandalous and deemed hereticaloffer more questions than answers. Secret Lives of Jesus examines these mysterious lost stories of Christ, exploring the fundamental questions surrounding the texts. Who wrote them and why? How do they compare to the accepted New Testament gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? And why were the stories forgotten for so long?

Desert Queen Eau De Parfum Spray
This is a perfume inspired by the Night Blooming Cereus Cactus called Queen of the Night, or peniocereus greggii, which blossoms only one night a year. Once In a Bloom Fragrances captured the essence of this southwest cactus, creating a unique women's fragrance.
Since the Queen of the Night is a "protected" Night Blooming Cereus, we could not use the blossoms to create this unique desert flower perfume. Instead, a master perfumer re-created this women's fragrance for Desert Queen.
This Eau de Parfum spray has a warm, soft and clean floral scent with a touch of sweetness. You'll find a pure rendition of the flower's essence is a unique fragrance that any woman would love to wear. If you enjoy the scent of white flowers such as tuberose and gardenias, you will love Desert Queen!
What exactly is an Eau de Parfum?
An Eau de Parfum strength is second only to actual perfume. It has more essential oils and less alcohol than an Eau de Toilette or Cologne strength. You do not need to spray several times to make it last. One or two sprays on both the wrist or neck will usually last a long time.
Not tested on animals.
