It was January 1966 and 2nd Lt. Larry Arnold, one of my USAF pilot training classmates, had just lifted off from our base in Texas for his initial solo in a twin-engine jet, when he was confronted by one of a pilot's worst nightmares - a cockpit warning light indicating a fire in the right engine.
His initial reaction, he half-jokingly recounted later, was denial. Covering the warning light with his right hand to remove the unwelcome indication from his view, he muttered to himself, "This can't be happening to me!"
Shortly thereafter, reason prevailed, and he dutifully attended to the emergency, lowering the nose of the aircraft to maintain a safe single-engine speed, pulling the "T" handle that activated the fire extinguishers for the right engine pod and executing a successful single-engine landing, much to the acclaim of his instructors and fellow students.
Making hard choices in an emergency is never easy, but it is essential. Denial can be a normal initial reaction to an undesirable situation, but it will never solve a difficult problem. Recovery comes only after one eventually accepts the circumstances and executes a successful plan to deal with it.
It is too bad our Legislature in Sacramento does not understand that concept. There is a long list of problems the Legislature has not addressed, most notable of which is their inability to produce a reasonable, balanced budget on time.
For most of this decade, the Legislature has set progressively longer records for budgetary gridlock, to the point that a budget approval that is only months behind is now accepted as the norm. Such delays are troublesome because they put the state into a crisis mode due to lack of operating capital, causing untold anguish for many workers and state-funded programs and forcing desperate actions that would never be acceptable under normal circumstances.
Too often, our harried, dysfunctional legislators rely on artificial fixes to solve budget deficits. These unrealistic solutions have included the use of general-obligation bonds, robbing special use funds to make ends meet, increasing taxes and fees, and even proposing raiding the tenuous future earnings of the state lottery to fund current obligations. Such a facile approach requires the taxpayers of California to fund ever-increasing bills and fails to deal with the real problem.
Like the proverbial hand over the flashing engine -sk the real emergency - the structural deficiencies of the current budget system, which are many. For example, in concert with their reliance on easy solutions, California's lawmakers have allowed the state budget to grow at a disproportionate rate when compared to population and inflation. Part of the problem is that the majority of spending in the budget is set on autopilot. Currently about 90 percent of the budget is tied up with contracts and statutory requirements, many of which include generous pension plans which were foisted on the state by unions but cannot be reasonably sustained.
Another systemic problem with the state's budget is the propensity of the legislature to spend all the money it takes in during years of high revenue growth. Their failure to set aside funds for the lean years leads to unsustainable spending levels in the long run.
This "feast-or-famine" cycle and automatic spending threatens the state's long-term fiscal stability and leaves the most vulnerable residents victim to erratic, unpredictable assistance. Californians deserve better. Since the system itself is the problem, the system must be changed.
Interview any given legislator about our dysfunctional state government, and chances are you will get a litany of reasons why it is the others who are causing the problem. Such a disingenuous denial is akin to the old adage, "Every snowflake in an earthquake pleads 'not guilty.'"
Why is our legislature so dysfunctional on fiscal matters? One of the problems in Sacramento is that the legislature is too polarized.
When legislators are assembled for a budget vote, they seem to lose all rationality, clinging to party political lines and bringing the government to a standstill. The steadfast stubbornness that ensues results in uncooperative behavior that would be unacceptable in a kindergarten playground, but has become common in Sacramento.
The people of California deserve better. It is time for real budget reform in order to end the "band-aid and baling wire" solutions of the past.
A few years ago, then Assemblyman Dr. Keith Richman, 38th District, accurately predicted the coming of the budgetary morass in which we find ourselves today. He suggested, among other solutions, that open primaries would likely produce more centrist candidates who would better reflect the interests of the majority of Californians and be more inclined to cooperate with one another for the common good.
Voters may get their chance to vote in favor of such an initiative in the next election. Given the fiscal emergency we have, that may be just the action we need to recover, and get the state flying high again - right here, right now!

Less than a week after news broke of the arrests of six King City police officers on corruption charges, 19 miles up the road is a city still reveling in its national recognition of being named a safe place and is now honoring its police chief as citizen of the year.
The Soledad Mission Chamber of Commerce named Police Chief Eric Sills as its 2014 Citizen of the Year. The Chamber's award comes as recognition of Chief Sills' success in reducing crime rates. It's an accomplishment that earned Soledad a place on Neighborhood Scout's Top 100 Safest Cities in the U.S.
Widely known as being the Gateway to the Pinnacles, the City of Soledad is located in the center of the Salinas Valley, adjacent to US 101 between the beautiful Santa Lucia Mountains to the west and the picturesque Gabilan Mountains to the east.
In announcing Chief Sills as its Citizen of the Year, the Chamber of Commerce noted his success in strengthening ties with the local residents and business owners.
"Chief Sills has transformed how our police department works with our local residents and business owners and, in the process, has made Soledad a safer, stronger community," said Beverly Willitts, secretary of the Soledad Mission Chamber of Commerce board of directors, in a news release. "His leadership over the past four years can be felt in every corner of our community, from our neighborhoods and our schools to our growing Front Street business district, where residents and visitors alike can feel safe and welcome while supporting our local businesses."
Since his appointment as Chief in February 2010, the chamber said he has created a number of community policing initiatives seeking greater collaboration between the department and local residents, including the department's partnership with local schools to deliver youth gang and substance abuse prevention programming.
Chief Sills has also expanded the City of Soledad's role in suppressing gang activity in the South Monterey County. Sills has led and overseen the development of the Four Cities for Peace (4C4P) Gang Suppression Operations and Community Mobilization Efforts, a collaboration between South County cities to target and curtail gang activity across the region.
City leaders praised Sills for his work to protect local residents and strengthen relationships with the community and the city's partners throughout the region, noting the impact they have had in helping to make Soledad an economic and tourism hub in South County.

There was no foul called on this play. Seriously. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)
I had a feeling from the midway point of the first quarter that this game was going to end badly. At about the seven minute mark of the third quarter all the way up until about the three minute mark of the fourth, the Thunder's impressive run with three rookies and Durant and Westbrook helped put that fear to ease…
And then Thabo went for the steal.
To be fair, he had been sitting for quite awhile (more on that later) so it's certainly going to be discussed about if he should have been inserted when he was ice cold for the game's biggest play (after all, he had been sitting for a reason) but no matter how much I shook my head in disbelief that the Thunder's most sound defender actually gambled so recklessly, this loss can not be totally placed on him.
The entire team earned this loss with their lackluster and uninspired play through the first two and a half quarters, but then seemingly totally redeemed themselves with a furious rally to go up by 10 midway through the fourth. Credit to the Suns, they kept fighting, kept clawing little by little. You couldn't help but be impressed.
One could even argue that Coach Brooks earned a nice share of this loss with his very curious decision to yank the five man unit of Maynor, Westbrook, Harden, Durant and Ibaka that had sparked and sustained the Thunder's comeback into the last few minutes of the fourth before they got pulled, but this group above most is a team. And they will both enjoy the wins and endure the blame for losses as one.
The first half was, how do I say it, not a lot of fun to watch. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the fact that the Thunder seemed to start out really hot in the first few minutes and the Suns really didn't, which might have given the Thunder a false sense that this game would be easy and get out of hand early but from the lack of defensive rotation to taking unnecessary gambles on defense to the offense sporadically grinding to a halt, it just didn't feel like the Thunder really seemed locked in to the game in the first half.
Oh yeah, they also gave up 9 offensive rebounds to the Suns in the first half alone. That was fun to watch in the, "Gee, I like watching a team get 3 or 4 chances in a row" kind of way.
Sure Collison took his customary charges, Westbrook (11 points on 5-8 shooting, 7 assists to 1 turnover and 2 steals in the FIRST HALF) honestly kept the team in the game with his penetrating and playmaking abilities while Green used his quickness to get to the basket and Durant did what he does, namely score in buckets on 7-13 shooting, but there just seemed to be a spark missing in that first half.
On the flip side, I was really impressed with the Suns early on as they made it quite clear that they had no intentions of just rolling over in the Ford Center. Grant Hill and Amare Stoudemire certainly were amped up and I think the rest of the team fed off of them to the tune of 51 first half points for the visiting team on 23-46 shooting (50%FG) despite only shooting 1-5 from 3 PT range. The Suns improved on that statistic in the second half.
The game got out of hand more from there with the Suns extending their lead to 15 points before the seven minute mark of the third quarter saw Russell Westbrook decide to stop the run and begin the Thunder's furious rally back. It seemed like they could honestly do no wrong well into the fourth, but they just couldn't put the Suns away and it came back to bite them.
So the win streak stopped at nine. Durant's 25+ points streak is extended to 29 games…but I'm pretty sure he feels a lot like we do at this point. His streak continuing is no consolation or comfort in this loss. A pyrrhic victory in the face of a painful defeat.
This one hurts.
So hopefully the team (from the coaching staff on down) learns from this and continues to develop a killer instinct that HAS to manifest itself if this team doesn't want to get handed a broom in the playoffs.
- It was good to see Eric Maynor come out of his semi-funk and play a solid and productive game. I had an entire section ready to be included in this recap about how three rookies, a sophomore and Kevin Durant changed the game (and they did, certainly) and led the Thunder to a runaway victory…if only.
- I have to say this…I rarely like to be that guy who calls out officials but that "blocking" foul whistled on James Harden in the first quarter was easily the most egregious and laughable call I've ever witnessed. And yet that was only the opening act. Both sides have a legitimate reason to feel wronged by the refs in this one (somehow Amare got called for what seemed like fifteen fouls in the span of thirty seconds in the fourth quarter and even I shook my head and said, "Man, he's getting jobbed here") as the referees called what could only be a questionable and wildly inconsistent ball game. I feel confident that just as many Suns fans feel that way as Thunder fans. But back to the Harden phantom charge. At no point was there any significant contact, neither player was moved and even Dudley seemed shocked and amused by the call as Harden continued to backup and Dudley continued towards the basket untouched. I repeat, UNTOUCHED. Therefore I award the refs no points, and may Stern have mercy on their souls.
- I've never officially said it here but I'm going to now. When Thabo has a game like he does tonight and goes 0-5 from the floor, the Thunder end up playing 4-5 on the offensive end and every team they face now knows it. And the Thunder simply just aren't good enough on offense to get away with that. I love T-Bone and what he brings to this team, but I can't help but wonder how loud the "Harden needs to start" roar will get the more Sefolosha struggles on the offensive end and isn't able to make up for it on the defensive end.
- Thunder's bench outscored the Suns 21-15. Hey, that's kind of a win, right?
- The Suns outrebounded the Thunder 45-35; that kind of stat is what really, really frustrates you when you lose by a possession.
- Westbrook shot 50%FG (9-18) and Durant shot 54%FG (13-24). The rest of the Thunder's starting five — 7 of 25 for 28%FG. Do I really need to say anything?
Next up: Bring on the Spurs. Tomorrow night can't get here fast enough.

Gwamma, I gotta tell ya... Though I was very close to my maternal grandmother, due to circumstances beyond my control, I only met my paternal grandmother once. She was the archetype Italian grandma - about as wide as she was tall. The memory of that hug was pure love with a bit of talcum powder.
So let those arms be free! They are love. (I don't like my arms either, but it gets hot here in the south, so in summer, they are flappin' in public.)

Joshua Fogg, 35, of Elmer, was pronounced dead at the scene after his red 1991 Ford Escort, which was traveling westbound, left the roadway and struck a tree just west of Parvin Mill Road around 4:07 p.m., state police said.
The impact occurred to the front, driver's side of the vehicle. Fogg was ejected from the vehicle.
His passenger, 52-year-old Nelvin Williams, of Upper Deerfield, had to be extricated from the vehicle and was then taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden by Norma EMS, police said.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation, but police said the road was dry and conditions were clear.
The car's speed prior to the crash cannot yet be confirmed, but police said despite the impact, the tree was not uprooted and is still standing.
Trooper Gerald McCreery said, due to the severity of Fogg's injuries, he believed Fogg was killed instantly.
"It was basically massive internal injuries," said McCreery.
Williams was treated for a broken leg, broken arm, and various internal injuries at Cooper, police said.
A Cooper University Hospital spokeswoman said Williams remained there late Tuesday afternoon in critical but stable condition.

He studied all season for the tourney Link
An autistic teenager from the Chicago area has done something almost impossible.
Nearly 48 games into an upset-filled NCAA tournament, 17-year-old Alex Hermann is perfect.
"It's amazing," he says. Truly.
The teenager predicted that Northern Iowa would beat the Kansas Jayhawks. He picked Ohio to knock off Georgetown. And Cornell to knock off Wisconsin.
In fact, he picked every game through the first two rounds correctly. The odds of anybody doing that? One in 13,460,000, according to BookofOdds.com. It's easier to win the lottery. Twice.
"I'm good at math," Alex, a Glenbrook South High School student, said. "I'm kind of good at math and at stats I see on TV during the game."
Alex entered the bracket on CBSsports.com's bracket challenge. His 24-year-old brother Andrew, who helped him enter his picks into CBS' bracket manager, also entered the contest -- and ranks behind 500,000 other people. "My bracket is totally shot," hist 24-year-old brother Andrew said. "So is everyone else I know."
ESPN estimates around 4.78 million played in their bracket challenge, but no one picked all the games correctly. The leader at ESPN's bracket has already missed four games.
But Alex Hermann's miraculous bracket is still a picture of perfection.
The odds of a perfect wire to wire bracket? As high as 1 in 1,000,000,000,000.

Pres.Obama saying the ruling would "open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections"............ FALSE !
Obama was lying about what the ruling means.
It's pretty clear that the Presitent crossed the line with this serious breach of protocol ...........
He displayed tonight,that he does not understand LAW or what "separation of powers" means ..to make that kind of a blithering ignorant statement about the ruling .........
Obama is losing it and has now turned to demogoguery.............

Whether to allow a North Plains-area composting facility to accept food waste may come down to what exactly constitutes a bad smell.
Washington County waste managers favor approving a waiver to allow Nature's Needs to conduct a six-month pilot project for meat, dairy and other residential and commercial food wastes, provided it uses available technology to mitigate bad smells.
"Allowing Nature's Needs to accept food waste will help to meet the regional demand for recycling this waste stream and improve the quality and desirability of the end product," said Theresa Koppang, the county's solid waste supervisor.
But North Plains City Manager Don Otterman says he's dubious. His city is opposed to the project because it has had its nose tweaked by its fragrant neighbor in the past. Nature's Needs has proven to be a ongoing source of impacting odors, even if some don't consider them "malodorous."
Koppang admits odor can be very subjective, but "the standard is not only that it be detectable, but that it be malodorous."
Therein lies the smelly wicket. "The question is: If working properly is it creating a malodor?" Koppang said. "If it is, it's clearly a violation."
Otterman said more than a decade ago the original owners promised there would be no odors from the facility at 9570 NW 307th Ave., just outside city limits. But residents have regularly complained about strong, earthy smells from vegetative yard waste and feedstock.
Odors have been reduced by county environmental conditions, but allowing more kinds of waste seems excessive so close to a residential area, he said.
"It might not be a malodor, but it definitely would have an impact on you," Otterman said. "The bottom line is it never should have been permitted there to begin with. If they have an odor minimization plan then they are in compliance. (But) if it's still impacting the city, what good is it?"
Paul Yamamoto, vice president of Recology, which took over the facility in spring 2009, says they have an ongoing commitment to mitigate excessive smells produced.
Yamamoto admits this is the company's first foray into a facility within a metro area. The company's celebrated Jepson Prairie operations for the city of San Francisco actually take place in Vacaville, about 60 miles away from the city, and three miles from its nearest neighbor.
But in Portland's case, it's probably more sustainable to have a facility in closer proximity to the center that generates the material. Recology has invested nearly $4 million to improve impacts, he said.
"Sometimes it does take some time to make those improvements in an appreciable way," Yamamoto said. "We're committed to a sustainable, long-term relationship everyone can benefit from. We think we'll be able to provide a service much needed in the area."
Commissioners wondered if there were some "reasonable nose standard" that would apply, like the Constitutional ban on obscenity in a community.
"It's kind of like profanity," Commissioner Roy Rogers said. "(Do) you know it when you see it? Or smell it?"
"The fact is that residents of a city shouldn't be subjected to bad smells, but being outside of city limits, (Nature's Needs) could have a pig farm if they wanted to," Commissioner Andy Duyck said. The question was how to find a balance between livability and land use, he said.
Commissioner Tom Brian said it was important to make sure any studies included impacts during prime stink times in the late summer and early fall.

FLORA VISTA, N.M. (AP) - A gas tank explosion that killed one teen-ager and critically injured another apparently was caused when one of the boys threw a cigarette lighter into the 12,000-gallon tank, police said.
Shiloh Gallegos, 16, was killed in the explosion, and 15-year-old Christopher Gillaspy suffered burns to 25 to 30 percent of his body, said a spokesman for University Hospital in Albuquerque.
Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Eckstein said it appears the boys were playing atop the tank and one of them threw a lighter into it, causing it to explode at 5:30 p.m Saturday. The tank was about one-third full with a fuel known as "drip gas," a liquid form of natural gas, investigators said.
"It ignited and the lid was blown off," Eckstein said. "The victim was thrown about 90 feet. The other victim tore off his burning shirt and ran for help. I don't know what they were doing up there."
Eckstein said it appears that Gillaspy was not standing directly on the lid when it blew.
The blast shook the northwestern New Mexico home of Leona and Dalton King.
"All I saw was the tank on fire," said King. "It was melting that tank. It was pretty red."
Eckstein said there was no fence surrounding the tank, but he did see warning signs stating it was a hard hat area.

All Hampshire County Council's decisions and committee reports made after 1 January 2010 are published on the Meetings Information System. The System can be searched to find decisions, reports and minutes for all meetings and committees held in public. See the Guide to the Meetings Information System for more information, help and search tips.
Reports prior to 2010 are available in the meetings archive.
The full Council is responsible for major decisions such as setting the budget, and debates topical issues. It also receives reports from the Executive, and Members are able to question the Executive on their areas of business. See the Guide to County Council Meetings for more information.
Most Council decisions are made by the Cabinet, either as a whole or by individual Executive Members. The Cabinet's most important decisions, called Key Decisions, are published in the Notice of Key Decisions and on the Meetings Information System well in advance of the decision being made. Some decisions are made by other committees such as planning applications that are made by the Regulatory Committee.
The Select Committees hold the Executive Members to account on the decisions they make. They can challenge decisions before they are implemented, or review decisions after they have been implemented to see if they achieved what was intended and were good decisions. Read more about Scrutiny.
There are various other committees who do not make decisions but advise and update Members, discuss current issues and receive progress reports on work programmes.

Solving a Problem
To Settle a Dispute of Any Kind, remember to always follow the chain of command, whether academic or non-academic. Remember also to utilize different methods of resolving a dispute: written, face-to-face, and over the phone. No matter how you do it, remember to keep your cool. You are much more likely to get results if you are calm, collected and mature than if you are frazzled. See the Campus Policies section of the Student Handbook for official policies in regard to such matters.
If you are involved in an academic dispute, always attempt to resolve it with your professor first. Often, the professor may not be aware of the problem and can help you solve it. If that fails, try to contact the department chair for that subject area. If you still feel that you must pursue the matter further, contact the dean for that area. He or she can help you or suggest another method for resolving your problem. If you are concerned with program requirements, graduation requirements, academic standing, or academic suspension, the best person to see first is your academic counselor. He or she can outline your program of study and make sure you are fulfilling your requirements.
The procedure for resolving a non-academic dispute is similar to the above process. First, talk to the person with whom you have the problem or with a representative of that area. If that does not provide the result you want, try to speak to the director of that department. If that fails, report the problem to the associate provost who oversees that area. Often, he or she can help you to solve your problem.
Unfortunately, some problems cannot be solved easily, especially if the problem is a personal one. But being part of the LIU Post community means that you always have someone to turn to, including friends, faculty, staff and clergy, who understand what you're going through and are willing to help. If you have a problem and don't know where to turn, speak to your academic counselor, one of the Campus religious leaders, your residence assistant or residence hall director, a faculty member with whom you are comfortable, a counselor at Student Health and Counseling, or the Associate Provost for Student Affairs. If you think the matter must be kept confidential, verify this with the person you speak to; sometimes, it cannot be guaranteed, except by the Student Health and Counseling Center, where everything is always confidential unless it threatens your safety or the safety of someone else.

I've been fascinated by personality tests ever since I abandoned those quizzes where you try to find out the shape of your face. At this point in my life I don't care what shape my face is. Or what shape my whole head is for that matter. What am I, a professor of geometry?
Personality tests, however, always extend the promise of deep and meaningful insight into what's been bothering you all these years. Even brief ones printed on bus panels are a catalyst for self-examination.…Continue

The Power of the Cross
By Keith Getty
To play the media you will need to update yourFlash plugin.
SAB choir and piano (with optional orchestration)
Composed by Keith Getty. Arranged by Stuart Townend. Sacred Anthem, Christ the King, Eastertide, General, Lent, Palm/Palm-Passion Sunday. Octavo. Lorenz Publishing Company #10/3806L. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.10-3806L).
Item Number: LO.10-3806L
Keith Getty's magnificent Lenten hymn, "In Christ Alone," has won the hearts of believers everywhere. Now, from that same pen comes a new hymn that eclipses its precursor as a transcendent witness to the power of the cross. Subtle vocal counterpoint illumines the prosaic verses, and Mark Hayes's signature harmonic touches color the settings with shifting shades of darkness and light, rising to a powerful close: "What a love, what a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.".

Copyright law makes provisions for something called "fair use". You
can't copy an entire copyrighted work but you CAN reproduce small
portions with proper attribution. You are well advised to consult a
lawyer before you reproduce and publish ANY portion of a copyrighted
work. Or, of course, you can write a letter to the owner requesting
permission to use some portion or all of the work. If you get written
permission, you're okay.
Copyright survives the author. You could not, for example, go back
through the archives of Info-VAX/comp.os.vms and publish "The Wit and
Wisdom of Carl J. Lydick" without permission from Carl's estate.

Multilateral Development Banks, IMF Call for Comprehensive Global Climate Change Regime
2 December 2009: The Heads of the Multilateral Development Banks and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) appealed in a joint statement to the parties to the UNFCCC to agree in Copenhagen on the foundations for an ambitious, comprehensive and equitable global climate change regime that enables all countries to achieve sustainable development along climate-resilient and low greenhouse gas emission-intensive paths. The Heads of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), European Investment Bank (EIB), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the World Bank Group and the IMF also committed their organizations to the use of technical assistance and funds to further support their environmental goals.
The Joint Statement states that it is critical that developed countries continue to take the lead in the mitigation of climate change by adopting adequate quantitative emissions reduction targets beyond 2012, and support and enable nationally appropriate mitigation measures (NAMAs) by developing countries with technology, financing and capacity building. It further recognizes that stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases within safe levels would require adequate, predictable and sustainable financial flows to developing countries, as well as policies in all major economies conducive to the creation of a broadly similar carbon price signal around the world. [The Joint Statement]

For clinical or research use in primary care, the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for somatization disorder are too restrictive, while the criteria for undifferentiated somatoform disorder are overly inclusive. In this article, we examine the validity of multisomatoform disorder, defined as 3 or more medically unexplained, currently bothersome physical symptoms plus a long (≥2 years) history of somatization.
Data from the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders Study of 1000 patients from 4 primary care sites were analyzed. The outcomes assessed were 6 domains of health-related quality of life, using the 20-item Short-Form General Health Survey; selfreported disability days and health care use; satisfaction with care; and physician-rated difficulty of the encounter.
Multisomatoform disorder was diagnosed in 82 (8.2%) of the 1000 patients who were enrolled in the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders Study. Compared with mood and anxiety disorders, multisomatoform disorder was associated with comparable impairment in health-related quality of life, more self-reported disability days and clinic visits, and greater clinician-perceived patient difficulty.
Multisomatoform disorder may be a valid diagnosis and potentially more useful than the DSM-IV diagnosis of undifferentiated somatoform disorder. Also, because multisomatoform disorder has a large and independent effect on impairment, its diagnosis should not be precluded simply because of a coexisting mood or anxiety disorder.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Derek Dooley has dismissed sophomore tight end Cameron Clear from the team following his arrest on a theft charge.
Dooley suspended Clear indefinitely Wednesday to collect information on the tight end's arrest Tuesday on a charge of theft between $1,000 and $10,000. Dooley announced Clear's dismissal Friday.
The coach said in a statement it hurts anytime a player is dismissed but there's times when a player does something that ends his privilege of being part of the team.
The 6-foot-6, 283-pound Clear from Memphis had one catch for four yards as a freshman, playing in 12 games.
But Clear was arrested Tuesday after a campus police officer found him using a stolen laptop in front of Neyland Stadium.


text: Nancy O'Dell has decorated her body in a sexy and form fitting blue dress for Matt Lauer's Friars Club roast. It suits her well. She is like the perfect little blonde doll. Blue and blondes go well. The only thing that I would have liked to see was her feet strapped into some high heels. The knee high boots are sexy enough but I still prefer high heels. At any rate, the girl is very pretty and a lot of fun to look at.

The snow falling in downtown Buffalo this afternoon may look ominous, but there's no need to worry about it piling up like it has south of the city.
An upper-level disturbance crossing the area is enhancing the lake-effect snow, bringing a more widespread snowfall, according to Jeff Wood, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
"The heaviest snow will be across the Southern Tier, but the Buffalo metro area will likely see the snow showers, as well," Wood said this afternoon.
Up to 2 inches may accumulate in the metro area tonight, with another inch Friday, Wood said.
Meanwhile, points south of East Aurora and the Boston Hills probably will pick up another 3 to 6 inches tonight, and 2 to 4 inches on Friday. A lake-effect snow warning for those areas, which also includes Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Wyoming counties, remains in effect until noon Friday.
Since Tuesday night, more than a foot of snow has fallen in the warning areas.
So when will it start looking – and feeling – like spring?
"Not any time soon," Wood said.
Temperatures will drop to the mid-20s tonight and hover around freezing Friday.
"We might creep up to 40 by the latter half of the weekend," Wood said, but chilly weather is expected to remain at least through early next week.

CLIO, MI -- When Brad Keselowski came to visit his home track at Auto City Speedway in Clio in mid-August, the Rochester Hills native was in the thick of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings, sitting comfortably in the fifth position.
Now, almost three months later, Keselowski has taken over the lead in the standings and with one race remaining in the Chase for the Cup, Keselowski need only finish 15th or better at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday to become the first person born in Michigan to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.
"There are no guarantees," Keselowski said after his sixth-place finish this past Sunday at Phoenix. "We could go to Homestead and have the same problem (as Jimmie Johnson), and Jimmie takes the points lead back over.
"No guarantees, but (I'm) very proud to have the points lead heading into Homestead."
Keselowski, who won the 2000 factory stocks class at Auto City Speedway before moving up to compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series from 2004-2006, has 2,371 points, which is 20 more points than second-place Jimmie Johnson. Johnson, however, is seeking his sixth championship in just seven seasons.
If Johnson wins at Homestead, a 15th place or higher finish would secure the title for Keselowski, but depending on Johnson's finish, a number of outcomes could still see Keselowski crowned the champion. The predicament bodes well for Keselowski, who has racked up 30 top-15 finishes this season, including five wins.
In the previous nine Chase for the Cup races, Keselowski, who drives the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge for Penske, has finished 11th or better including two victories at the GEICO 400 at Chicagoland Speedway and at Dover International Speedway.
"Brad will be racing on a wing and a prayer," Keselowski's mother, Kay Keselowski, told the Detroit Free Press. "Only God knows what will happen on Sunday. In racing, things can change in a heartbeat. But Brad deserves it, and so does his crew, and Roger Penske. They have worked so hard to win this championship."
Before Keselowski came to visit Auto City Speedway in August, he told the Flint Journal he and his crew would need to work on qualifying if they wanted to be a serious contender for the championship. From the Pure Michigan 400 on Aug. 19 to last Sunday at Phoenix, Keselowski has started in the top 20 eight times, including three starts inside the top 10.
Still, the Michigan native understands the challenge ahead at Homestead.
"Nothing is over until it's over," he said. "We just need to keep our head down and focus on what lays ahead.
"It's been a long road to get here, and I thank God it hasn't been easy. You appreciate it more when you to work for it."

I have a +3e? A guy called Dave did the upgrade for me? It involved adding

Several of the top boys teams in the state converge on Blue Heron Pines Golf Club in Galloway Township today (April 4) for the ninth annual Garden State Cup.
Two-time defending champion Bergen Catholic, the No. 2 team in The Star-Ledger boys rankings that debuted on Monday, heads the field of 20 teams that begin play in the 18-hole, one-day tournament at 11:30 a.m.
However, long-time Bergen Catholic coach Jim Jacobsen's team will be without its top two players, Harrison Shih and Erick Alonso, who are participating in the American Junior Golf Association TaylorMade-adidas Golf Junior at the Innisbrook Golf Resort's famed Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Fla., near Tampa.
Other teams from The Star-Ledger Top 20 competing include No. 4 Rumson, No. 5 Middle Township, No. 11 Pascack Hills and No. 13 St. Augustine Prep. Also competing are teams from perennial powers Don Bosco Prep, Ramapo, Northern Highlands, Peddie and Moorestown. The rest of the field includes Clearview, Howell, Mainland, Ocean City, Shawnee, St. Rose, Burlington Township, Lenape, Seneca and Wildwood Catholic.
Blue Heron Pines is one of the top 50 public golf courses according to readers of Golf World magazine. It was designed by Stephen Kay and opened in 1993.

Today's reading for the responsorial psalm:
"O Lord, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know the whole of it.
Behind me and before, you hem me in
and rest your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your spirit?
from your presence where can I flee?
If I go up to the heavens , you are there;
if I sank to the nether world, you are present there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
if I settle at the farthest limits of the sae,
Even there your hand shall guide me,
and your right hand hold me fast."
I love Psalm 139. I find it so comforting. God is always with me. Sometimes it doesn't always feel that way, but he is.

Lyle Wins for First Time in Nearly Two Decades
It's been a long time since Sandy Lyle stepped into the winner's circle. But that's just what the two-time major champion from Scotland did on Sunday after capturing the ISPS Handa Senior World Championship at Mission Hills in Shenzhen, China.
The 53-year-old had gone without a victory since the 1992 Volvo Masters on the European Tour. Lyle, who won the 1985 British Open and 1988 Masters while at the peak of his career, carded rounds of 68, 66 and 70 to finish at 12-under 204 in the 54-hole Senior European Tour event and beat Australia's Peter Fowler by three strokes.
"You wonder after about four or five years whether you'll ever win again, let alone nearly 20." Lyle said.
"My trophy cabinet has been gathering dust over the years so I feel relieved to get a win and it's even better that it's here in China on this course. This answers a lot of questions I had about myself.
"This victory is very sweet as it's obviously been such a long time," added the five-time European Ryder Cup member. "I said a couple of years ago that I'd be happy just to win a par-3 contest - it had been that long."

this ones a bit late too...
HEL-ARN (Stockholm) dep. 05/01/2001
AY933 DEP.0745 ARR.0745 (i hour flight, time difference)
got to the airport at 7am was very tired and very hungover since i only slept two hours and was out clubbing the previous night. Well went to check-in and found out that the plane was full so i was put on stand-by (again..see.Hel-jfk-hel) well went to the gate to find out that the plane was completely full so once again i ended up in the cockpit jump-seat since it was the only extra jump-seat on the md-80. Took my really cramped seat between the pilot and co-pilot. Took of in schedule. had a beautiful view when we got to cruising altitude, sun was shining and pretty blue sky. F/A came and offered me a salmon sandwich from c-class which i refused beacuse i was feeling very sick...had only one glass of water the entire flight. Fater 30 mins we started decending to stockholm Arlanda Airport...landed in time, waited for the other passengers to leave at the cockpit door and noticed that everyone was staring at me like " was he in the cockpit?" anyway then went throught passport..well they didnt even check my passport..and then jumped on a shuttle bus to town...
decided to try SAS this time since i always fly this leg on Finnair. Well went to check-in only to find out that, suprisingly, i was on stanby(again!!). So well, went to the gate and noticed about 10 other satnd-bys...we all waited untill 10 mins before departure befored they called us i got my seat which was very luckily 7F so i was seated in SAS EuroBusiness Class. The cabin wasnt really more spacious han econmy. Food was okay..Got salmon..(cold though) with some potatoe salad and strawberries had a bit of champagne and a oj and then we allready landed. Had only hanbaggage so headed through passport to the taxi staion and took the taxi home....
that was it!

Fishing Seals

Hi Monika
Is this the same seal as we have here in the UK, P.vitulina? we don't get them along our coast but they are common in Scotland and on the east coast of England.
Once had a great swim in a shoal of bait fish with terns diving all around me

I love how the seal swims upside-down to keep an eye on the fish. Your blogs are always SO interesting!

The NW harbor seals are Phoca vitulina. This site tells about them.
Great photo of the seal. Wish the fish were easier to see.

Hi Dave, As The K mentioned, it is the same species of seal!
The K, I agree, but I was just happy the fish showed up at all as it was getting dark out and they were underwater.
Thanks for the kind comments Vera and Michele!

In today's struggling economy, the smart businessperson should use every resource at their disposal to make sure that their company is successful. And one of the most important tools in a businessperson's arsenal is the ability to network successfully. Even in today's high-tech world, being able to connect with people face-to-face is an essential skill that can help you increase and expand your business.
Networking is the act of sharing information about your services with a group or another individual with the goal of creating a beneficial business relationship for both parties. Even if there doesn't seem to be a similarity between the businesses, successful networking can create that all-important bond.
Some of the best times to network are on the road: in a hotel lobby, the waiting area of an airport, even at a bar. A shared experience such as travel is one of the best times to network outside of the business world. In these settings, potential networking partners are more relaxed and not "on guard" against being sold something. If there is time to make a connection with another person, there's time to successfully network.
The ability to successfully network, however, isn't an exact science. Every person is an individual and will respond to networking in different ways. Some will welcome the opportunity to discuss your business with you and how it might possibly help them. Others may see your attempts at networking as an intrusion on their private time. There's no way of knowing which person you'll encounter in your attempt but it's important to at least make that attempt.
Here are a few tips that can help you network in almost any setting.
Get a captive "audience"
It's fairly easy to network at a business conference because everyone in the room is pretty much there for the same thing. But by networking at the waiting area of an airport, a hotel bar, at a coffee shop, etc., you'll have a "captive" audience, one that is there for the same reason you are, thus giving you an instant reason to bond.
Strike up a conversation
It may sound like a no-brainer, but you can't successfully network unless you talk to people. But to really be successful, you have to be the one to strike up the conversation, rather than wait for someone to speak to you. You can't be afraid to approach strangers if you hope to be successful in networking anywhere at a moment's notice
. Look for an opening: something they are reading, that new electronic gadget they are using. Ask them about it then relate it to your business and soon you'll be successfully networking.
Ask questions
It may not seem like it sometimes, but people love to talk about themselves. So ask questions. A lot of questions. Sure, you want to get to the part where you talk about your business and what you can do for them, but resist that urge. Ask them about what they do. If they're also traveling, ask if it's for business or pleasure. Find out as much as you can about them and you'll also learn enough about their business needs to tailor your "pitch." Also, try to avoid asking questions that can be answered "yes" or "no" to keep them engaged and talking.
Read body language
Glancing past you over your shoulder, turning their entire body away from you, giving short and terse answers are all signs that the person you are attempting to speak to may not wish to talk or be bothered. Don't push the issue. Thank them for their time and give them a business card, if they will accept one.
Keep it short
When people are on the road, they're usually trying to get from Point A to Point B. In an airport, they're usually a few minutes away from getting on their flight. If they're in a hotel, they probably on their way out to a business meeting. Even if they're on a plane, they may be using that time to catch up on work. Try not to drag out the conversation unnecessarily. Be ready to make your important points. Be prepared to cut the conversation short if their plane is boarding or if they are late for a meeting. Have your business cards ready so that you don't waste the brief opportunity.
10 a day
Have a goal of talking to at least 10 people in the course of a day. Not all of your encounters will be successful and they don't all need to be "quality" encounters. But if even one of those encounters results in a successful business relationship, the other nine unsuccessful encounters are worth it.

No employer wants to hire someone with a bad attitude or poor work ethic, and who can blame them? A person with these traits is often less productive and may cause conflict among other employees, ultimately affecting your organization as a whole. Workers with a sunnier disposition, on the other hand, are much more likely to make a positive impact on a company.
Continue Reading Below
"Time and time again, research has found that personality contributes in several important ways to job performance," said Kerry Schofield, co-founder and chief psychometrics officer of Good.Co, a company that matches employees and employers based on personality. "Perhaps the most important way is through job satisfaction: Regardless of organizational culture, personality traits like a positive outlook contribute to a sense of job satisfaction. When a person is more committed and happier in their job, they are willing to give more to the organization, and are more focused on doing good work because they want to, rather than because they have to."
The problem is, it can often be difficult to identify a person's "negative" traits during an interview. Job candidates are getting savvier, and many of them know exactly what a potential employer wants to hear — especially if they're highly skilled and qualified for the job. They try to present themselves in the best light possible, even if it runs contrary to their true personality. [10 Personality Traits Employers Want]
What can a hiring manager do to assess a candidate's traits during the interview? Carl Persing, research and solutions adviser at strategy consultancy and survey provider Metrus Group, said it's all about asking the right questions.
"Asking specific questions about how people feel about friendships, relationships, etc. will give better, more accurate results [about personality traits]," Persing told Business News Daily.
A few major personality types to be wary of in a potential employee include:
Continue Reading Below
While these particular personality types might raise some red flags, an employer should never automatically dismiss a candidate based on a single personality trait. Schofield noted that considering the whole person within the context of the organizational culture, the culture of their immediate team, and the personalities of their co-workers is the key to making a good hiring decision.
"Looking at individual traits alone does not give the whole picture about the person's potential behavior," Schofield said. "For example, an extroverted person who is empathetic will behave quite differently from an equally extroverted person who is aggressive. There are some traits that generally make things more difficult across the board by increasing risk for conflict and reducing the odds of high job satisfaction, but even these can be valuable in the right environment. Context is everything."

5 Pet Products That Prove You're Too Lazy For a Pet
#2. The Smart Chime
So earlier, I talked about the Pootrap being a great way to get around training your dog to poop outside, or anywhere other than a bag. But what if you actually took the time to train them, but then got bored with the whole pet thing? Let's face it: Constantly paying attention to your dog and listening for it when it does stuff like scratch at the door, bark at the door, and do whatever the doggie version of the pee-pee dance is at the door, gets exhausting after a while. And if you're distracted that often, the chances of you missing an important plot twist on The Price is Right skyrockets.
"Off-center, you asshole! Start off-center!"
If this is the predicament you're in, perhaps the Smart Chime is for you. It's a button that your dog steps on when it wants to go outside. The button is shaped like a paw, even though your dog almost certainly doesn't actually know what a paw is, and it emits a "cute" sound that gently alerts you when your dog needs to go outside. I put "cute" in quotations, by the way, because any sound, when attached to something you don't like, will quickly become aggravating and horrible. You could set your phone's alarm to the sound of a beautiful woman's orgasm, and after a few days of that waking you up at 5 a.m., you'll never want to hear a girl moan in pleasure ever again (and also it's statistically very unlikely that you will, Guy Who Uses an Orgasm Sound as an Alarm).
#1. The Pintofeed: Smartphone-operated Food Dispenser
One of the main purposes of technology is to allow us to do much less in a much cooler fashion. And now, this includes feeding your pet. Because how annoying does that get? Having to do it every day, sometimes up to twice a day, and if you miss a day or nine and they get sick and weak and you're suddenly a horrible person and the feds are knocking on your door -- what's an apathetic pet owner to do?
Well, they could buy themselves a Pintofeed, for one. Advertised as the first intelligent pet feeder, the Pintofeed is operated via your smartphone. Press a button on your phone, and the Pintofeed dispenses food into the bowl for your pet to chomp on. The company's stated explanation is that it's really hard to pinpoint how much a pet needs to eat, unless you listen to your vet and then buy a $10 food scale to ensure you don't give your pet too much at any one time. But since you clearly weren't going to do that, thank your lucky stars Pintofeed is willing to take your money.
Jupiterimages/liquidlibrary/Getty Images
"You want me to bend you over and fuck you, too? Well, if you're gonna twist my arm ..."
But still, the act of continually pressing a button could become way too much for the truly lazy owner. If you do that, you might as well just go that one teensy extra step and feed the thing yourself, right? Luckily, Pintofeed can run purely on schedule as well, where pets are automatically fed at set times. So take a couple minutes one time to set up feeding times, and you'll never have a reason to look at your pet again.
The best part is how beyond blatant the company is when appealing to lazy shit pet owners, hereafter referred to as being "busy." Take their Indiegogo video, for example:
Yes, if you can't fit feeding your pet into your busy world of jogging, the beach, and hot dates, or if you're on vacation and have no friends willing to stop by and put chow in a bowl every so often, then the Pintofeed is for you! Also, if you can't fit feeding your pet into your busy schedule, you shouldn't have a fucking pet.
Jason Iannone loves the animals, and would only use a smartphone to record them doing stupid things. Stalk him and his adorably brainless kitty on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.
