West Seattle, Washington
From last night's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting at the Southwest Precinct, last one until September:
CAPTAIN'S BRIEFING: Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis opened with the declaration that a "grandiose state of car prowling is happening in our neck of the woods" – The Junction, Highland Park, and South Park are the hardest-hit spots right now. He implored people to PLEASE not leave ANYTHING in their cars – if thieves stop scoring stuff, they'll stop trying. "We don't want to make it lucrative for these guys to keep doing what they're doing." Without naming names, he mentioned that some prolific suspects have been caught. "We want to keep the pressure up throughout the whole summer."
He said the shots-fired issues are under scrutiny as well. "Some of them have a nexus toward certain houses, or friends that they visit … these guys are riding cars, coming from (different areas, north to east to south) … if you hear it, make sure you call it in, so we can get the appropriate types of response out there." Arrests tend to "make a lot of that activity go away," he said. "Timely and accurate reporting is the key to a lot of this stuff … sometimes we don't get the information until maybe the next day, which is not good enough … it's a lot harder than … right when that stuff is happening. Load 911 up so they can get all that good information out to our officers." He said that things in Puget Ridge/Pigeon Point had quieted down – traffic-wise as well – after emphasis patrols. One PR resident verified that. Capt. Davis said that with the 4th of July approaching, there'll be some fireworks/gunshots confusing, but still call it in. "Sometimes we get there and it is fireworks … sometimes we get there and we find shell casings … exercise due diligence, make that 911 call."

Frustrated Puget Ridge residents came to the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting tonight to ask Southwest Precinct police what they're doing about the gunfire problem plaguing their neighborhood.
First – the monthly crime-trends briefing:
"Our criminal element is alive and kickin'," as is unfortunately usual in the warmer months, began Capt. Pierre Davis, Southwest Precinct commander. "Right now, the crime du jour is car prowls, up all over the city, and our regional partners are having the same type of issues." In some areas, it's doubled. Highland Park, Morgan Junction are getting the biggest increases right now.
He mentioned a spike in drug use, "and a lot of that activity is driving the car-prowl increase right now."

Gunfire was the first thing our area's top law enforcer brought up as tonight's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting began.
CRIME TRENDS: Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis opened the meeting with his crime-trends briefing, as usual. "As of lately, there's been a lot of shots-fired incidents, there's reasons behind it … it is alarming," and community members "are quite tired, and I don't blame them one bit."
Once shots are reported, "we do take them very seriously, our officers go out and investigate … if there's physical evidence that can be confiscated and taken to a lab, we do that .. there's a whole unit that does that to see if there's a nexus between different areas of the city (and other cities). … There's shots-fired evidence we can link to various crimes throughout the area." According to Capt. Davis, gangs and drugs are what's most often involved "and we're quickly putting together the pieces as to who's who."
He mentioned one particular trouble spot – a mile-plus of 16th SW, from the 6900 through 9000 block. South Park (which also is served by the SW Precinct) is being plagued by gunfire incidents, too, and so, he said, patrols have been stepped up, even including SWAT officers and the Anti-Crime Team. But they can't patrol around the clock, he warned: "Obviously these individuals are smart enough to know if you're shooting when police are around, you're probably going to get caught … I wish I had enough officers to have out there 24/7 but that's not the case."
A resident of 21st SW in Puget Ridge spoke up at this point to say she had heard gunshots for three nights.

Car prowls are still "the issue of the day" for West Seattle crime, Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis told the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council last night.
His regular briefing was one of two focuses at the meeting – the other one was pedestrian/traffic safety. More on that later in the story, but first, the crime briefing:
Hotspots right now include Westwood and south Highland Park, as well as South Park, and on a citywide basis, this category of crimes was set to be the focus of SPD's twice-monthly Seastat meeting today.
Capt. Davis also reiterated the importance of reporting those crimes in particular, even if nothing was taken, so they have accurate records – SPD is pointing citizens at its Dashboard to check community-crime stats, but those stats won't be accurate if people don't report them.
And he mentioned what we had reported here earlier in the evening – two arrests following two robberies earlier in the day, targeting students. The suspects were arrested near 9th and Henderson in Highland Park, though the robberies happened elsewhere; items stolen from the victims were recovered, he said.
Also discussed: Shots-fired calls. "We are pretty aware of who we're looking at," Capt. Davis said, while stressing that doesn't guarantee arrests – evidence and timing play into it, too. When an attendee asked for more info, he elaborated, "We have a group of individuals out there that are gang affiliated and when they find a target, they want to shoot at that target – we found a nexus between what's happening in West Seattle and what's happening in SE Seattle, in Rainier Valley, we have two groups that are going at it. … Usually when you have a spike in that kind of activity, there's something behind it."
So is there anything that can be done besides reporting it? asked the attendee.

Crime trends and an update on the Alert Seattle system were the focus points of last night's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting:
The dozen-ish people who showed up were from neighborhoods north to south, Admiral to Puget Ridge to Morgan Junction.
Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis told participants that more than a dozen neighborhoods in West Seattle have "micro-policing plans," and they're developing "targeted responses" to the issues.
In general, around West Seattle, auto thefts, robberies, and car prowls are the high-focus issues right now, he said.

The first West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting of the year drew one of its biggest recent turnouts, ~30 people. Here's how it unfolded, from a briefing and Q/A with West Seattle's police commander, to an insurance-industry expert's inside information on car prowl/theft tactics:
CAPTAIN'S BRIEFING: Southwest Precinct Capt. Pierre Davis began Tuesday night's meeting by thanking citizens for staying alert and calling 911. He mentioned the micro-community policing plans for 12 neighborhoods, while assuring people outside those areas that it doesn't mean they get less policing resources.
As for the trends:
*Car prowls remain big, as does retail theft (shoplifting)." Also, "We're still having street robberies," but often there's a relationship of some kind between robber and victim, "not so much individuals coming out there just to get (random) individuals." He pointed out that numbers are available via the SPD Dashboard, saying it's a "real-time" stat system.
Hot spots right now: High Point and North Delridge – "assaults, lots of gunfire, things of that nature, we're on that as well … trying to determine what the true issues are, and sometimes they have nothing to do with West Seattle – these guys are migratory, they have cars … only thing we can do is make arrests, identify who we can identify." He said the precinct is getting more resources, not just in house but from outside including SWAT teams, Gang Unit, etc.
Three notes in West Seattle Crime Watch tonight:
CAR PROWLS: Two notes at midday today briefly mentioned car prowls along Beach Drive – one near Me-Kwa-Mooks Park, one in the 5900 block of Beach Drive, both involving windows that appeared to have broken in.
WHAT METHODS ARE CAR PROWLERS/THIEVES USING? Next Tuesday's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting will include a guest from the National Insurance Crime Bureau to talk about the latest methods used to get into cars, as well as "which vehicles are the most and least likely to be stolen," according to WSCPC president Richard Miller. The meeting is at 7 pm Tuesday, January 19th, at the Southwest Precinct (2300 SW Webster).
VANDALISM: From the Stop 'N Shop store at the Senior Center of West Seattle in The Junction:
On December 30th, the Stop 'N Shop sold a Pennsylvania House bedroom set for $1,500. The buyer arranged to pick the set up on January 6th. When they came to pick up the furniture, we took off the protective sheets only to discover that someone had scratched / keyed the surfaces of several pieces in the set. I believe the act of vandalism occurred (in the store) on Wednesday, January 6th, 2016. We don't understand why someone would behave in such a manner. What we do know, is that the loss of income from this kind of crime only hurts low-income seniors who we are trying to help.
The buyer did end up accepting the damaged furniture anyway, the store notes. If you have any info, contact police.

The GameStop robbery was happening just as this month's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting was wrapping up. So keep in mind that Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis was speaking about trends before that – almost presciently. His briefing preceded the night's guest speaker, Metro's chief of Transit Police.
LOCAL CRIME TRENDS: Busy month since last meeting. Headline – the arrest of a suspect in the serial arsons, which were Topic 1 at the previous WSCPC meeting. Robberies are up – "the individuals are like zombies, they activate themselves and they're committing everything under the sun, car prowls, robberies …" In particular, he mentioned, car prowls are up "and I know (West Seattleites) are sick of it." He reiterated the top advice – don't leave ANYTHING in your vehicle. Nothing at all. "I just can't stress enough – take (your stuff) with you." Every time something is found inside a car, that encourages thieves to come back. Alki, High Point, North Admiral, and Pigeon Point are the hottest spots for car prowls right now: "The numbers right now aren't horrific, but they're horrific enough that people are being affected." Parks get hit hard, too.
The briefing segued quickly into attendee Q/A: First one was a question about the neighborhood crime stats on the SPD website, wondering why they all use different scales, meaning that if you compare areas, one might look worse than it really is. Capt. Davis said they're aware of that and hoping to find a way to work with it.
Next Q brought up the West Seattle Crime Watch saga of someone who put their stuff in the trunk and was prowled while shopping at Westwood Target. Capt. Davis acknowledged that some car prowlers do just break in on spec, basically. "It is really, really tough right now and about all we can do is something like an operation we did earlier this year – we identified more than 100 individuals that we deal with over and over again, and arrested a lot of the individuals who are prolific in this area. When we (did that) we saw every category of crime drop. .. But as soon as they get out of jail, we see that activity spike up again." Now, he said, they're working with prosecutors and judges to try to urge them to keep the criminals behind bars – and for longer. "That's what we're after right now – sometimes it takes time, but it's well worth it."
Asked about car thefts, he talked about use of the license-plate reader to detect dropped-off stolen cars.
Two people who identified themselves as first-time WSCPC meeting-goers said that they had just moved to West Seattle a few weeks ago and were trying to figure out how to stay safe and wondered if there was any reason that repeat offenders' mugshots weren't made available.

No arrests yet in the West Seattle arsons.
But new information did emerge at tonight's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting.
Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis said that in addition to the two major early-morning arsons Sunday and Monday – the two cars in Sylvan Ridge and the High Point office building – investigators are also looking at three earlier small fires.
Those date back to a trash can fire outside a vacant house on 34th near Morgan (photo above) on October 12th (but the list they're focusing on does NOT include the "campfire" outside the former Red Star Pizza).
He also said that SPD and other agencies – including ATF investigators – are devoting a major amount of resources to solving this. And he distributed the arson alert that we published here last night after residents reported getting it via door-to-door visits from firefighters.
Aside from the high-profile arson investigation, the major crime categories "have taken a slight dip" lately, he added, particularly robberies, which he noted have dropped almost to zero since the arrest of "an individual who got picked up in one of our other precincts." And he mentioned again that the precinct has a watch list of more than 80 repeat offenders, about 20 of whom have been arrested. Working with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office to be sure they stay in jail once arrested, though, is a challenge, he acknowledged.
The one specific category for which he offered numbers, burglary, is at 387 year-to-date, compared to 418 in the same period last year.
And then – seguing into "neighborhood concerns" – came the case of one specific burglary attempt that had happened just hours before.
Whether it's the arsons or some other concern that you'd like to ask and/or hear about, we've just confirmed that the monthly West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting IS on for tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 20th) at the Southwest Precinct, 7 pm. This is your one guaranteed chance each month to hear local crime trends firsthand from West Seattle police and to bring up anything that's been going on in your neighborhood. The meeting room is next to the parking lot, which is off SW Webster just west of Delridge Way SW.

Crime trends and self-protection were on the agenda as the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council returned from summer break.
Last night's meeting started with Southwest Precinct Captain Pierre Davis briefing those in attendance. "The summer was … the summer. In West Seattle, it's typical for us to have a riproaring summer, but it wasn't out of control." He talked about the importance of the recently developed "microcommunity" policing plans, and the importance of feedback on them.
It's been five months since Capt. Davis returned to West Seattle as precinct commander; he noted that some categories of crime were spiking back then, but they've been "strateg(izing)" how to fight them, and have had success. For one, he said, they've put together what is in effect "a posse to go out and hunt our bad guys … (those responsible) for auto thefts, burglaries, other crimes that have plagued neighborhoods."
We've just received confirmation that the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council WILL resume its monthly meeting schedule as planned, starting tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 15th), 7 pm, at the Southwest Precinct's community meeting room. If you have a neighborhood concern to bring up with SPD, and/or want to hear local crime trends firsthand, this is the one open, public, monthly chance to do that. Each meeting usually also has a featured topic and/or guest; this time around, it's self-defense, discussing with SPD and attendees, according to WSCPC president Richard Miller, "(the) relative advantages and disadvantages of various personal protection/self defense devices (stun guns, tasers, pepper spray, handguns, etc.)." The precinct is at Delridge and Webster; the community-room entrance is off the parking lot on Webster.
If you were thinking of going to the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting – don't; it's not happening. We arrived at the precinct and found out that the meeting was being canceled; WSCPC president Richard Miller continues to deal with health challenges. We'll take the liberty of saying again, as we were asked to mention in our coverage of last month's meeting – if anyone is interested in helping so that this group can continue, please e-mail email@example.com.

From this month's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting:
CRIME/SAFETY TRENDS: Capt. Pierre Davis of the Southwest Precinct said key categories of crime are seeing "steep drops" lately because of "some specific arrests." He referred to the recent "robbery spike" (two last weekend on Alki; here's our latest report), mentioning that it's happening in the early-morning hours, saying they're checking on specific "individuals … who have a propensity toward that type of thing."
About Alki overall, Capt. Davis said a "comprehensive emphasis" is planned for summer, including bicycle officers. "If our plan is not working and you're seeing something out of the ordinary … let us know … we can revamp our plans and take a closer look at your neighborhood." One attendee asked for an update on what was the Bamboo Grill and is now Alki Huddle; Community Police Team Officer Jon Flores said the name is different, the ownership the same, butname but that they haven't had serious problems for quite some time.
One attendee from North Admiral said that locking the Hamilton Viewpoint Park gate at night has helped cut down on nighttime trouble but there's still some in the daytime.
Capt. Davis referred people to the SPD website to check specific crime-stat numbers and also encouraged people to keep vigilant and keep reporting what happens. And he said he's hoping Assistant Chief Steve Wilske – his predecessor as SW Precinct commander – "will bless us with more resources."
After his briefing, it was on to the featured guests at the meeting (held this past Tuesday night in the community room at the precinct):
FORMER GANG MEMBERS: WSCPC president Richard Miller brought four people, all self-identified as former gang members, to speak to and with the group. They were from a program affiliated with the Top Hat branch of Victory Outreach, a church with locations in more than 20 states, founded almost half a century ago.
One man said he'd spent 16 years in prison; he got involved in drugs, and that helped lead him onto the wrong road. He said Victory Outreach helped him find a better way, and he graduated from its program and became a minister. They go through White Center "reaching out to men to pull them off the streets," he said, and are currently working with two dozen people.
He said the criminal-justice system helped him learn discipline. He also said "There's a lot of gang activity" in the area of their church, and though they try their best to combat it, "there's not enough of us" – they need help, and "more programs to help youth." He and his wife "look after" 20 men who he says are on a "new path." They do community service work while getting back into society, he said. "There is hope for those guys" who come out of gangs and drugs – "don't give up on them," he exhorted. He said their program has a 70 percent success rate.
How did he wind up in gangs in the first place? He said his siblings were gang members, his parents were heroin addicts, and "I thought that was life" – though that "life" had included being shot five times, he noted later, and many of his "old friends" are already dead.
Another man had a similar backstory, saying he had been "born into gangs … because my home was messed up, I decided to go get some training somewhere … six months ago, I was (at the) Salvation Army to satisfy the courts … I remembered where Victory Outreach was in Ballard, and walked from Rainier to Ballard, found out the house wasn't there, then walked from Ballard to West Seattle, and they said 'Come on in'. … If I'd had this chance when I was younger … there's a lot that needs to be fixed within us." In addition to spiritual assistance, he said he had addressed the source of anger within him. He said he'd been at VO for six months
The third speaker said he too had grown up in a dysfunctional family. "Next thing you know you're doing things a real family wouldn't do." He said he was strung out on drugs and then "one day I was tired of being a loser … found myself on the phone with a guy who graduated (from the VO) program … and within 15 minutes talked me into going into the program." He said it was "awkward at first" to have people caring about him so much, but then he found himself giving back.
And the fourth speaker said he too had grown up in a dysfunctional family with a rough upbringing and found himself looking "for love and fellowship on the streets," and wound up involved in gangs, having "to fight other kids just to walk down my own block." He said he too had been involved in drugs and through the church he's now "saved" and making changes in his life.
How do they get the word out about the program? Word-of-mouth, said the minister, as well as doing odd jobs in the neighborhood like yard work – that, he said, is where some of their funding comes from, as well as car washes and house painting. And they also try to be a positive force in the neighborhood, including dealing with nearby trouble. They also talk to parole/probation officers to look for potential program members.
The program supervised by the minister is a first step, it was explained; in the second step, members have to get jobs, and VO works with local businesses to facilitate that – from metal-fabrication shops to sports organizations.
Did you have trouble with the gangs letting you leave? a meeting attendee asked.
You just disappear, said one man. The minister said he has a brother who's still involved, and he counsels him as best he can. He added that they try to move participants around so that they're not tempted or approached by people they knew.
Why do gang members tag? was another question. Reply: To announce their presence at a particular location, and/or give someone a warning.
Who's not eligible for the program? Reply: Exclusions include anyone with a sex-crime or arson background.
If you're interested in anything from referring someone to VO to donating – they said items are welcome from toiletries to clothing – you can reach the Top Hat location at 206-781-1655.
WSCPC NEEDS YOU: If you are interested in helping this group continue – it's been limping along with little volunteer help, not even someone to update its bare-bones website – please contact Richard Miller, who's been keeping it going despite serious health challenges. Come to the next meeting (June 16th, last one before summer break) and/or contact him via e-mail – email@example.com.

Auto theft has "skyrocketed" in the Southwest Precinct area lately, police acknowledged toward the start of last night's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting.
Operations Lt. Ron Smith presented the crime-trends update, after the 15+ attendees were greeted briefly by newly appointed precinct commander Capt. Pierre Davis (standing in top photo), who declared himself "glad to be back" while also explaining he's still "catching up."
Lt. Smith said the jump in auto thefts is due in part to "a pattern we're seeing – vehicles are being stolen from elsewhere and dumped here in West Seattle, so we're having an increased recovery rate here- or, they're being taken here and dumped in South King County." with 19 incidents in the preceding week. They're hopeful the rate will be dropping with recent arrests and the identification of four other potential suspects.
He also said street robberies are back to their average – 3 per week – after the spike earlier this year. The added bicycles are on patrol now, he said, but priorities remain the mandatory 911 levels, so you might not always see 2 bicycle-riding officers per sector if staffing does not allow. "We're trying to modify our staffing to get the maximum return," he said. Car prowls are trending downward, as are non-residential burglaries – one in the past week – residential burglaries are currently averaging about 3 per week, less than half the usual rate. "Auto thefts have skyrocketed – there's 19 vehicle thefts in the past week – but after the recent arrest of juvenile suspects, the rate started going down again, even though they are "not certain they're (responsible for all)." Four other suspects have been ID'd, said Lt. Smith.
Then came Q/A on community concerns, before the night's featured guest:
From the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council's meeting at the Southwest Precinct on Tuesday night:
No new commander announced for the precinct yet, one week after the news of now-Assistant Chief Steve Wilske's promotion, which came one year after his SWP arrival. Operations Lt. Ron Smith, who's in charge of the precinct in the meantime, said he isn't seeking the position.
CRIME TRENDS: Lt. Smith led the customary briefing. Auto theft is up; burglaries are down. And as has been widely reported, including here, strong-arm robberies are up – if you don't know the definition, "no weapons implied or used, but that doesn't make much difference to the victim," as Lt. Smith put it. He also discussed how incidents get classified as robberies if they aren't the stereotypical case of a criminal coming up to a victim and demanding something; in particular, the shoplift-turned-robbery type of case was discussed.
Community Police Team Officers Jon Flores and Erin Nicholson got up at that point to get into more detail.

The Southwest Precinct's commander says extra staffing to protect students – "double the staff on first watch" – will continue "for the foreseeable future."
That was part of what Capt. Steve Wilske had to say at tonight's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting. Other measures taken to try to stop the string of robbery/grabbing incidents include instant alerts that he is getting in the case of any crime in which the victim is a juvenile. Updates in the meeting included not only the recent incidents but also last weekend's South Park homicide plus overall local crime trends:

No new information about Saturday's Morgan Junction holdup, when it was brought up during tonight's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting.
What did dominate the evening was a wide-ranging discussion on various neighborhoods' problems and what can, can't, and – in some neighbors' view – should be done about them.
First, the crime-trend update:
LOCAL CRIME TRENDS: Auto theft has remained the same – a high level, but "we're starting to make some arrests." Car prowls are "down drastically." So said precinct operations Lt. Ron Smith, representing precinct leadership at the meeting – he said car prowls are down to 11 in the past week, compared to 18. A new way of handling the data is being implemented soon, he said, so that could make a change. Nonresidential burglaries are down; residential burglary is down 40 percent from an average week, 6 compared to the average of 10. "We've made a couple arrests, and that might have made a difference – names known to the community." Strong-arm robberies, usually 1 a week, this past week we've had two (both reported here).
Asked about the strong-arm robbery, Lt. Smith mentioned – without specifying the location – the Sealth student who was walking to school when her phone was stolen. They don't know yet for sure whether the robber is a student or not, though "similar age group" to the victim. Sometimes the response time is hampered by the fact the robbery isn't reported until they tell their parents hours later. He says this type of robbery has now been dubbed "Apple-picking."
Asked about shoplifting, aggravated assault, drug-dealing arrests, Lt. Smith said he doesn't have numbers on those categories but can get them. He says the Anti-Crime Team is going after drug crime right now, though, and that drug dealing is being addressed "through other methods" – CPTED, such as lighting, removing phone booths, cutting back shrubbery, and talking to businesses to let them know it's their responsibility to keep watch on what's happening on their property.
NUISANCE HOUSES: A question is asked about a South Delridge block and a particular house on 17th SW. Lt. Smith says they're aware of several trouble houses. Precinct liaison Matthew York from the City Attorney's Office, seated next to Lt. Smith (photo at right), gives his card to the asker. Another man says there's a similar problem in his neighborhood – stolen cars dumped, an unregistered sex offender who they say had a teenage girl in his house, someone else who was wanted on warrants and "had a sawed-off shotgun." The house in question had "constant turnover," troublemakers in the back yard – they would report the problems, police would show up, and be deterred by a locked gate and people going into hiding. "With (houses like this) you can look at the 911 calls – 197 on that block – (people have) called constantly." Someone else says "it's kind of like we're at war" but it has quieted down a bit with the involvement of the Community Police Team.

Southwest Precinct commander Capt. Steve Wilske has a plan for tomorrow – the last day of Seattle Public Schools classes – and he told the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council about it last night during the WSCPC meeting at Lincoln Park.
That and other toplines ahead:
Three West Seattle Crime Watch reader reports. First one's from Johnali:
Our Bob Revolution jogging stroller (black), was stolen from our secured building between 6:30 pm last night and 7:30am this morning. We live on Delridge and Trenton. Anything would be helpful as we are still hopeful we will find it.
Let police know if you do. Second, Lynn's hoping to find the hit-run driver who damaged her car and another one just south of The Junction:
The 2 cars that were hit were parked 1/2 block north of Rite Aid, near a telephone and across the street from a large apartment building construction site (west side of California Avenue, SW). My car is a 2013 gray 4 door Nissan Altima. I do not know the make of the other car that was hit, but its owner told me that her left-side mirror was bent backwards and was missing most of the mirror glass. I didn't find any paint from the car that hit mine. However, I did find a side mirror on the ground near my car that may have been from the car that hit mine. It appears from the damage my car sustained that the offending car came from the north, which would mean that their car would be missing their right side mirror. I've kept the side mirror, just in case.
Third, Kezia wondered if anybody else woke up Sunday morning in the Westwood area to find out their car had been vandalized – a crude drawing in black paint on a white car, in her case.
REMINDER: Bring community concerns to the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council's meeting at Lincoln Park Shelter 1 tomorrow (Tuesday) night, 7 pm, map here.
Even before Tuesday night's West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting, Southwest Precinct police leaders had promised that the Roxhill Park/Westwood Village area would be one of three emphasis spots for beefed-up summertime prevention/enforcement efforts. Westwood in particular dominated the discussion, though precinct commander Capt. Steve Wilske said his "summer plan" had not yet won final approval from department leadership.
SUMMER PLAN: With the recent warm weather, "Alki's starting to get real busy for us," Capt. Wilske began, saying he plans to have extra officers there on Friday and Saturday nights for starters, as well as increased patrols for Roxhill/Westwood and for Lincoln Park.
One of his strategies, also mentioned at earlier community meetings, is to get officers onto bicycles, at least part-time. He said he's hoping to have bikes and gear for up to 12 officers. "They'll be patrol officers, I can't exempt them from 911 response, (but) they'll have bikes so when they have down time they'll be able to get into one of these emphasis areas and start riding."
WESTWOOD VILLAGE: Community Police Team Officer Jon Kiehn said the recent trouble with shoplifting, threats, and more, tends to involve "the same people over and over again."

Not so many property-crime reports in West Seattle Crime Watch lately, and the report from Southwest Precinct Operations Lt. Ron Smith (photo left) at this week's WS Crime Prevention Council offered one reason why: The criminals just haven't been as busy.
Might be this month's almost-record-setting rain, Lt. Smith acknowledged, but whatever the case, burglaries in the week preceding Tuesday's meeting were down to 6 from the average 9 – "we'd like to get to zero," he noted, mentioning that the SW Anti-Crime Team is "going after people related to a theft ring, on top of burglary, stolen property, narcotics … there will be some search warrants served." (Whether that's related to the 32nd/Juneau bust reported here Thursday night, we're still trying to find out.)
Auto-theft cases in the preceding week were down as well, Lt. Smith reported – 5, compared to the average 8; non-residential burglaries average 2, and there had been one.
Community concerns voiced immediately after the crime-trends briefing included local parks – questions about the gate at Hamilton Viewpoint Park in North Admiral not being locked at night, and about unlocked bathrooms at Roxhill Park late at night. Lt. Smith and Community Police Team Officer Jon Flores promised to check into both.
The meeting's featured guests were from the Seattle Police recruiting team – talking about how SPD finds, screens, trains, and hires candidates.

Goldman Sachs Short term Bullish Reversal
Published on Tuesday, 14 August 2012 04:57 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, August 14th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS) ended the trading session higher by $0.59 or 0.57% from its previous close. Goldman's price action formed what is considered to be a bullish engulfing candle that could very well signal a continuation of trend or reversal of the ongoing weakness.
The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:GS), a bank holding company, is a global investment banking and securities firm specializing in investment banking, trading and principal investments, asset management and securities services. The Company provides services to corporations, financial institutions, governments, and high-net worth individuals.
Goldman's recent stock range was formed by a trough where calculated support was defined at $96.72 and by a peak that established the resistance level at $104.38. This range could be used by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Goldman Sachs or traders that are already holding the stock can use the bullish engulfing pattern to their advantage. The pattern provides a defined risk, as it shows where the bears were able to push the stock down, before the bulls step in with a bid.
The bullish engulfing pattern is a leading indicator that provides an alert to the bulls that the trend will continue or that there is an immediate reversal to the short-term weakness seen on the stock. Below an Engulfing Bullish Candle Illustration:

So now I have two Ms
A couple of weeks ago I was a bit unlucky, and managed to spill smoothie on my M. Most of it ended up on the screen, but some managed to get in behind the wheel. A few days later the wheel was stuck.
I figured it was toast, so went and got me another one, figuring I could sell one of the 18-55mm kit lenses, and keep the other battery as those are handy to have in numbers.
Another few days passed, and seeing there was little risk, I said to self: Why don't you open it, and see if that smoothie comes off?
So I did, and after negotiating off the rear lid, and removing the control panel from the rear lid, I managed to rinse off the smoothie, apply some moisture removal fluids and reassemble.
I followed this tear down procedure, though it does not include how to get the control panel off the rear lid. To do that I had to remove the thumb grip to get access to a screw, and carefully bend a metal part that holds the control panel together
Happy ending to this story. Camera works great, and now I have two!

Our first problem was with a false alarm. We went thru the verification process so they knew it was a false alarm, and they said they wouldn't send anybody out. Nobody came out. A few months later, there's a $50 service charge on the bill because they claimed that someone came out. We called to dispute, since there wasn't even a need to send anyone out (and no one came out), and the lady acted like we should worship her because she did us SUCH A HUGE FAVOR in issuing a ONE-TIME ONLY credit to offset the charge.
A few months ago, there was an error message on our keypad. We called the station to find out what it was, and they said they had to send someone out. The guy came out. He said the company upgraded their system and EVERY CUSTOMER needed new equipment for it to be compatible. He switched us to the new equipment and left. Again, a $50 service charge because they had to send someone out. That should be illegal, requiring all your contractual customers to upgrade their equipment, and then charging them to do so. They won't reverse the charge this time because, as we stated, someone did come out to the house.
I'm eagerly awaiting the class-action suit on this one!

Skip to comments.Disgraced donor headed to prison; judge rejects dismissal bid { Hillary's Hsu }
Posted on 01/04/2008 12:15:10 PM PST by SmithL
Redwood City, Calif. (AP) -- A judge on Friday sentenced disgraced political donor Norman Hsu to three years in state prison after rejecting the one-time Democratic rainmaker's bid to throw out a 16-year-old fraud conviction.
Hsu's lawyers had asked Superior Court Judge Stephen Hall to dismiss his 1992 no contest plea, arguing his right to a speedy trial was violated because authorities weren't actively pursuing him during his years as a fugitive. They could easily have arrested Hsu, his lawyers argued, at one of the fundraisers he hosted in California for prominent local politicians.
Hsu also faces federal fraud charges in New York.
His troubles began dogging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and other big-name Democrats last summer
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
The other Hsu dropped ...
God exists.
Imagine the headline if he were a major donor to the Republican presidential candidates.
Not if he wants to live.
Hope he's not expecting a visit or cookies from the Hildabeast. She's, no doubt, kicked him to the curb.
If ANY Republican candidate was involved in this scandal, it would be front page news in the NYT.
Hsu saw his pardon evaporate last night. The Prosecutor should show him why he should sound like a canary now.
Hillary hits the news again.....
Hsu's going to prison, which likely means he's going to die there. As such, I doubt seriously he'll get the chance. You'd make money starting a pool on what day after he's taken to jail that he dies.
How could they keep a straight face making that argument, and why didn't the judge order the lawyers jailed for contempt?
If he gets any cookies from hillary, he'd better not eat them. Maybe he could use them to kill rats and roaches.
LOL! What an excuse. I thought I got away with it, so please set me free your honor.
Talk about sliding him through the justice system like a greased pig. First they ignore him and then they whisk him away. Nothing like liberal justice.
But then by most accounts, he is lucky to be still alive after his medical episode caused by what? Poisoning?
His suicide attempt failed. Arkancide wouldn't fail.
He's going to jail because of that OLD fraud charge!! When is he going to trial for all the ILLAGAL FUNDRAISING FOR HILLARY??? And WHERE is Winkle PAW??
I predict no trial. Hillary (and the DNC) cannot risk any form of discovery. My guess is a pre-trial guilty plea or nolo contendre to the current charges (which pretty much keep Hillary and the other pols safe.)
A cop to the limited charges would make everyone happy, including the DA and judge and attorneys who would, imho, much prefer a nice, neat one-man bad guy story to the fundraising hydra.
IMHO, the only reason Hsu defended himself against the old charges at all is because they pre-dated his involvement with Hillary and the DNC. So he was no risk to them on those counts, and it was worth a shot, if only for the chance to get his escape act right this time.
There is another story coming....pinging Doug//
convicted felons have no credibility.
Don't you see the formula?
Lock him up now... he's had 16 years to get his affairs in order.
Bad Boy Bad Boy
Wha Hsu gonna do
Wha Hsu gonna do
When she comes for you?
We will not see Hsu under oath to do potential damage to Hillary.

Iscah (Hebrew: יִסְכָּה Yiskāh) is the daughter of Haran and niece of Abraham in the Book of Genesis. The passage in which Iscah is mentioned is extremely brief and obscure. As a result rabbinical scholars developed theories to explain it, typically adopting the claim that Iscah was an alternate name for Sarah (Sarai), the wife of Abraham, particularly that it denoted her role as a prophetess.
The original Hebrew name Yiskāh (יִסְכָּה), means "foresight", or being able to see the potential in the future. The Hebrew root sakhah (ס.כ.ה) means "to see," so the name Yiskah, with the added yod, implies "to see before".[1]
Iscah is also believed to be the source of the name "Jessica", via a character in William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice.
Biblical text[edit]
The only reference to Iscah is in a brief passage in the Book of Genesis:
- And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
—Genesis 11:29 KJV
Rabbinical interpretation[edit]
Since Haran is described as the father of both Iscah and Milcah, Rabbinical scholars concluded that Iscah was another name or title for Sarai. This was formulated in the Targum Pseudo-Yonathan. Howard Schwartz explains:
The difficult genealogy of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 11:29 led to confusion as to the identity of Iscah. The resolution found in Targum Pseudo-Yonathan, the Talmud, and other rabbinic sources is that Sarah was Iscah, and that Iscah was a seer. This meaning is derived from the Aramaic root of Iscah, which denotes seeing. This led to the tradition that Sarah was a prophetess as great or greater than Abraham. The implication is that Iscah is a kind of alter ego for Sarah, and that when she turned to her prophetic side, she became Iscah.[2]
Rabbi Isaac commented "Iscah was Sarah, and why was she called Iscah? Because she foresaw the future by divine inspiration." Schwarz describes Iscah as an "extension of Sarah's personality beyond its normal bounds".[3]
Modern views[edit]
Historian Savina J. Teubal takes the view that the name of Iscah was probably included in the text of Genesis because Iscah represented an important genealogy:
Of Harran's descendants, Milcah and her sister Iscah are recorded by J, but Lot is not mentioned with them. The inclusion of Iscah must have had some significance that either J or his source chose not to elucidate. Nevertheless a strong tradition must have barred the redactors from omitting Iscah's name, a tradition, presumably, in which a sister had an important function; this tradition is apparent also in Genesis 4:22, in which Naamah, 64 sister of Tubal-Cain, is mentioned only by name. It can be surmised that Naamah and Iscah were originally recorded to categorize the descent group (or other characteristic) of their siblings Tubal-Cain and Milcah. In non- patriarchal terms, Naamah and Tubal-Cain were uterine siblings, as were Milcah and Iscah. It is also possible that Milcah is named before her sister Iscah because she was younger, just as Rachel is named before Leah. Among Harran's descendants, the sequence of Lot's birth is not significant and is not mentioned in the genealogy of J because he was not the uterine sibling of Milcah and Iscah, did not belong to the same descent group as they, and was therefore not considered by Sarah or Abram as heir.[4]
The name "Jessica" comes from a character in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice, the daughter of Shylock. Iscah was rendered "Jeska" in English Bibles available in Shakespeare's day.[5]

Share the post "Garcia outworks Prescott; Truax decisions Ennis – Was it Enough?"
Friday Night Fights at the UIC Pavillion, Chicago, IL went as expected. Action opened with a close decision win for Chicago's and Notre Dame's own Mike Lee 13-0-0 (KO 7). In the process of winning Lee received a bruised face and bloodied nose against Paul Consalves 7-3-0 (KO 4). Two judges thought Lee was the aggressor, but the third judge didn't feel Lee did enough, so he scored it a draw. The bottom line is Lee has another win and moves on. The 32 yr. old Gonsalves made a good enough showing, so another fight might come his way.
In the co-featured middleweight bout, Caleb "Golden" Truax 24-1-0 (14 KO) captured an impressive, pretty much one–sided UD over Derek "Pooh" Ennis 24-4-1 (13 KO 13). Ennis is small for a middleweight, only 5′ 8″ with a 69″ reach. Truax, 6′ 0″ with a 73″ reach, made good use of his size advantage and banged Ennis from a distance. One judge thought Caleb lost only one round. The two other judges generously gave Ennis three rounds out of ten.
Caleb wanted to do two things Friday night on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights. Most importantly, he wanted to win. Second, he wanted to look impressive doing it, so he could erase memories of his boring draw again Ossie Duran in his last bout in January of this year at the Target Center, Mpls., MN. In the pre-fight interview, Caleb promised he was going to start fast, putting the Pooh (bear) in a hole. Caleb's reasoning was Ennis would then be forced into trying to dig himself out; thereby, exposing himself to Caleb's counters. Sounds good.
When the opening bell sounded, reality set in and Caleb's plan seemed to go out the window. He didn't establish his jab, and when in the clinches, he and Ennis both seemed content with not doing much. Lackluster first round going to Caleb for doing a little bit more. The second round was better for Caleb. He started jabbing and double jabbing, following with a straight right, and adding an uppercut for good measure.
In the third round, Caleb continued with the same attack. The problem? He wasn't throwing his jab one-two combinations enough. Both he and Ennis were clinching too much without much of an effort to fight inside, and it wasn't referee Gerald Scott's fault. He stood off, encouraging them to fight their way out. When it was obvious that wasn't going to happen, he would step in and break them.
In the fourth round Caleb landed several good rights. Ennis appeared hurt, so Caleb closed in and mixed up his shots between head and body. Then inexplicably he backed out and let up? It appeared Caleb either was arm weary, or afraid he would get gassed and allow Ennis back into the fight. For someone who wanted to impress, he seemed to be making a mistake.
The next few rounds were the similar. Caleb would land some big shots, but just wouldn't follow up. When he threw his jab, it usually landed. He just didn't throw it enough. Two often he would throw just a two punch combination. Later, when he added the left hook, it landed. There were several opportunities in the middle rounds when it appeared Caleb had Ennis in trouble, but just didn't close the show.
In the late rounds, Truax backed off a bit, which let Ennis get back into things a bit and gain some confidence. In the ninth round, Truax got a cut over the right eye. Referee Scott made a point of telling the judges, the cut was due to a punch. Ennis had to be thinking, "If I can open the cut up more, maybe I can get a TKO." Luckily for Truax, that didn't happen, and he got his win. Teddy Atlas, said Caleb did what he had to do, and his unofficial scorecard read 98-92 for Caleb. Official scoring went 97-93 (twice) and one 99-90.
Hence, Caleb won rounds and the fight, but did he take advantage of the many opportunities presented by Ennis? There will be a question in the minds of those making matches, and ranking fighters. The question is "Did Caleb's win warrant the needed attention to move him up the ladder for a big fight?" There will be those who feel a top level fighter would have stopped Ennis, and they will think that is what Caleb should have done. When Caleb watches the video of the fight, he might agree.
The main event matched welterweights Roberto Garcia 36-3-0 (23 KO) and Breidiss Prescott 27-6-0 (20 KO). The tall 5′ 11″ Breidiss used 72″ reach to potshot from a distance. Garcia kept up a steady pressure. His defense helped minimize Breidis' shots, but he was having trouble landing his own. When Breidiss finished throwing a combination, he would fall into a clinch. All too often, Garcia would wrap his arm around the neck of Breidis and push him down. Breidis offered very little resistance, hoping to keep the energy usually expended trying to fight against such a tactic. It also caught the attention of referee Celestino Ruiz, who warned Ruiz several times. Violations weren't all one-sided. Ruiz also warned Breidiss about throwing low blows.
This fight was a little bit like the Erislandy Lara vs Saul Canelo Alvarez fight; although, much less talented. The strategy was the same. In Friday night's fight, Breidis would be Lara. He moved continuously, albeit not as much. Garcia kept trying to cut off the ring, and land body punctures when he could. Breidis seemed to be landing the cleaning shots, but Garcia's were harder.
Breidis landed a clean, straight one two with the right landing flush on Garcia's jaw. Down he went, more shocked than hurt. He tried to convince the referee that Breidis stepped on his foot. The ref wasn't buying it, and the replay showed it was a clean knockdown. That meant a 10-8 round. The same question as in the Lara vs Alvarez fight arose. Should the aggressor get more credit for his aggression, even though the other guy is landing more, cleaner shots? We all know what happened in the Lara vs Canelo fight. Were Friday night's judges watching that fight.
Apparently so, because they awarded Garcia with a UD, despite the knockdown. It was close, Patrick Morley scored it 96-92; Mike Fitzgerald had Garcia squeaking out a score of 95-94: Mauro Di Flore had it 96-93. So, Garcia keeps his win streak going, now it's eight in a row. Unfortunately for Breidis, he's lost four out of his last eight fights. As a welterweight, and despite his height, he just doesn't seem to have the pop in his punches needed to be effective. He caught Garcia square, and Garcia went down, but he didn't seem to be hurt at all. He was more embarrassed than any thing. He definitely was the stronger fighter Friday night.

I would have that with Utd's immoral record over the years he'd probably fit in better with you!
Kop it's about your team and player. All through this event Liverpool have tried to turn it back at United. I could easily point out events in your fans history, that you could not direct back at us. Or your players in a tit for tat manner. But your defence cannot be constantly pointing back at united

I can assure you I was very upset at being charged nearly $40. for services I did not want or knowingly submit to. If you can help, please do!!! I hate it when companies rip people off--me and others! After talking to the first guy for 10 minutes, complaining about being charged for a service I did not order, he said "So, do you want to cancel the service?" Aaaagghhh! Brilliant!!!
I did contact Sprint and asked them to block any and all such ringtone companies on all our cell phones. Hopefully, that will help.

SF Site: January 2011 Book Reviews
The January 2011 edition of SF Site is out with reviews of The Secret History of Fantasy edited by Peter S.
Kobold Quarterly #16 Now Available
Off the Bookshelf: Evolutionary Void, Realms of Cthulhu, iPad Book Readers
After a long hiatus because of too much to do at work, I've finally gotten back to reading fiction ... because of work. Specifically because of the iPad I'm trying out at my day job.
I work at a college, and we're piloting the iPad to see how tablets might be integrated into the academic environment. Part of that is trying out the different e-reading software out there, and that gave me the perfect excuse to get a new book. Or rather two new books: The Evolutionary Void by Peter F. Hamilton and Realms of Cthulhu, published by Reality Blurs.
SF Site: mid-November 2010 book reviews
The latest edition of SF Site is online with reviews of Conflicts by Ian White (a military SF anthology about all manner of future wars), Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (a vampire book in which the lead character is a woman in love with a vampire, trying to catch a non-vampire killer who's hunting women in love with vampires ...
Off the Bookshelf: Century Rain, Reversing the Anthology, Temporal Void
I finally finished New Moon by Stephanie Meyers, and I have to say the vampire/werewolf/teenager love triangle left me cold. The main character, Bella, is whiny and unsympathetic, and she's exactly the sort of emotional heatsink that I'll be telling my son to avoid in ten years or so.
Finishing the book allowed me to move on to my proper summer reading list, starting with Century Rain and The Space Opera Renaissance. While both books were already on my bookshelf, I did still find myself buying another book for the list: Peter Hamilton's The Dreaming Void.
Nuketown's Summer 2010 Reading List
For the last two years my family's been invited to vacation with our friends at their cabin on Lake Champlain, a cabin with an outhouse, battery-powered appliances, minimal internet connectivity and a hammock. It is, in short, the perfect place to read. And that, of course, means its time to put together my Summer Reading List for 2010.
Lightspeed SF Magazine Launches
Lightspeed, a new science fiction magazine edited by John Joseph Adams, has launched. Published by Prime Books, it will feature four short stories a month, the first of which is "I'm Alive, I Love You, I'll See You in Reno" by Vylar Kaftan. New short stories will be released weekly, but you can buy the entire issue at one time as a download in Kindle, iBook, and ePub formats.
I'm happy to see this -- short fiction hasn't fared all that well on the web in the last decade, with magazines like Event Horizon and SciFiction coming and going, but recently we've seen an uptick with Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show and Tor's fiction offerings. The world could definitely use more SF short fiction, it's the format that helped launch the genre, and I think it's one that needs to be nourished.
SF Site: mid-May 2010 reviews
In the latest edition of SF Site has reviews of the following books:
- Prince of Storms by Kay Kenyon
- Ghosts of Manhattan by George Mann
- Katja from the Punk Band by Simon Logan
- Evolve: Vampires Stories of the New Undead edited by Nancy Kilpatrick
- Bone and Jewel Creatures by Elizabeth Bear
- Dead Men's Boots by Mike Carey
- Warbreaker, Part 3 by Brandon Sanderson
- Lifeblood by P.N. Elrod
- One Was Stubborn by L. Ron Hubbard
- The World House by Guy Adams
- Red Planets: Marxism and Science Fiction edited by Mark Bould and China Miéville
- How To Defeat Your Own Clone by Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson
The Periodic Table Of Super-Powers
Super powers have been spawned by almost every element known to man (and plenty that aren't) so it only makes sense that they should be transformed into a periodic table of their own. The Periodic Table Of Super-Powers is a handy chart that breaks down superhero backgrounds by origin, physical powers, and mental powers. It's a fun, quick read for anyone who loves comic books.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
My first two trainging sessions were by Charlene and informative. Someone new did the third session because Charlene was "sick" and she basically went over everything Charlene had done then - OOPs! hour's up. My fourth session was by yet again a new mentor who had no idea what she was even talking about, no reference to the past sessions, no answers to my questions and again - OOPs! hour's up! I am really frustrated when I want to talk to someone about what I feel are 2 useless sessions and left a message to that effect nad no one even called back to address my issue or for the rest of my mentoring sessions.
I will admit, I was a little negligent in calling them because I now figured that I was still being billed each month so I felt I could pick up the phone and basically restart the whole mentoring sessions. I called and spoke with a mentoring representative who agreed that I could get, not all I felt I was due but, 4-5 more mentoring sessions and I signed a new agreement with the company.
No one ever called for those sessions and although I work from my home, have an answering machine and everything, I never heard from anyone until a collection agency called representing John Beck.
I spoke with and mailed letters to this company stating that twice they had failed to deliver what I had contracted for. I wanted a refund and they had to stop the collection agency and right my credit. This was April of 2011. I was never contacted by the mentoring company or this collection agency until today 12/14/2011 stating that I owed $1600.00!!!!! I had informed John Beck in April that I would not pay the then balance of $750.00 +/- and that they owed me!!!
I did try calling the John Beck phone number today to discuss this and a company called Sean (Shawn?) Higgins answered. I was told that the Mentoring of America program was "suspended last year" and when asked to clarify this, I was told by E., a SH employee representing john Beck programs, that the program simply was not for sale any longer and that Sean Higgins was supporting the Mentoring of America program purchasers. I then found out the FTC froze the assets of Mentoring of America and several other programs last year!!! I called E. back because he had stated to me that I would never see a refund after I declined his offer to get the rest of the sessions now - nearly 2 years after the initial agreement and almost a year after I gave them a second chance!
I have all the "contracts" and can prove the sessions I had and the deposit and monthly charges. I have the documentation, notes taken during the two real sessions I had (which my husband and mother sat in on as well) and copies of letters, e-mails and phone contacts to this company trying to rectify this but they insist on ruining my credit and refusing my refund. I will fight until this is cleared and I am free of this scamming company forever!!!
Hang up, change the channel, shut down your computer if John Beck anything is being advertised
- JUST DON"T DO IT!!!!!! I now have no mentoring, a collection agency and no cooperation from this company. I have a case as I am sure many others have as well - good luck to all of us! The FTC has a case open against John Beck and I encourage everyone to file these complaints as the company is not working with anyone wanting a refund!

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Strauss expects break to bear out
Andrew Strauss is convinced England's Ashes chances have been boosted by the decision for him to miss the tour of Bangladesh.
Strauss and paceman James Anderson were both rested as England took the chance to blood new players and give Alastair Cook some leadership experience.
Strauss insists England were right to prioritise next winter's Ashes defence Down Under and the World Cup, which begins in February.
"We have some really important cricket coming up. The Ashes is a huge series for us and the World Cup is a huge one-day series for us. We need to be peaking there," Strauss said at Harrow St Mary's Cricket Club where he and women's captain Charlotte Edwards were helping with NatWest CricketForce.
"I can understand the argument that the captain should be there all the time but I still think it has been the right decision in the long-term interests of the England side.
"Come the Ashes we will need all the energy and enthusiasm we can muster. We have to look at ways of getting the most out of our players when we need them to be playing at their best.
"I genuinely believe the benefits of me taking time off will be seen later on in the summer and into the winter.
"The break has done its job. I feel refreshed and ready to go. I am chomping at the bit now, I can't wait to get out there and play."
Strauss does not envisage any problem taking the reins back from Cook, who impressed with his leadership of the team.
However, he knows England they will need to improve substantially if they are to win the Ashes in Australia for the first time since 1986-87.
This winter, England beat South Africa in the one-day series and drew the Test rubber before securing whitewashes in both formats in Bangladesh.
"We head into the season in a good frame of mind after a generally successful winter and now we need to move forward and continue that winning momentum for the next six months," added Strauss.
"To win in Australia you have to do a lot of things outstandingly well and we probably haven't done enough of that over the winter.
"I have some thoughts on how we can improve over the next nine months and now is the time to start implementing them.
"It was fantastic to see some guys in Bangladesh who hadn't been involved in the Test team have a go. Steve Finn has done fantastically well, Tim Bresnan really enhanced his credentials out there.
"The batsman did a really good job and went on to get big scores, which will be crucial, and the bowlers will have benefited from the conditions out there too."
The new Brit Insurance 2010-11 official England Cricket Team kit will be available to pre order from April 1 via ecb.co.uk, and in store from April 29

The BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) movement against Israel, which has gained some traction in mainline denominations, raises hotly contested questions. (See, for example, my article "Boycotting the boycott" and the responses to it.)
A particularly salient one: Do ordinary Palestinians support BDS? Do Palestinians in the occupied territory want more separation from Israel or more integration with it?

The Mississippi Police Benevolent Association has endorsed Delbert Hosemann for secretary of state.

The MSPBA has thirteen chapters with a membership of over 2,000 unformed officers from across Mississippi.
Hosemann will be in the GOP primary on Aug. 7, along with three other Republican candidates, Gene Sills, Mike Lott, and Jeffrey Rupp.
Three Democrats are running: Jabari Toins, John Windsor and Rob Smith.
