View from the Top: The Frustrations of Police Chiefs, and How to Solve Them
By Bruce L. Benson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, Police Chief (Retired), Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan
A prominent police educator called the police chief position "the most difficult and demanding job in public administration today." 1 A government journal article about police chiefs is titled "Mission Impossible" for a number of very valid reasons. 2 Police chiefs have the only position without a peer group within their organizations; they are truly alone at the top of the organization. Often they hold the only position in the organization without job protections, yet they are asked to lead, to discipline, to take professional risks, and to create positive change.
The author has served in a police chief position for more than 15 years and has experienced a number of job-related pressures. As chief, the author also interacted with other chiefs who expressed frustrations and difficulties in their positions. Are our communities' police chiefs becoming "battle-weary executives" with unduly heavy burdens? 3 To understand this dilemma the author conducted a survey to identify the following:
Following are the highlights from this survey and they clearly establish that the job of police chief is rewarding and demanding. It is set apart from and quite different from all other ranks and assignments in the police organization.
The SurveyThe sample group4 consisted of the police chiefs from 50 larger municipal police departments in Michigan, excluding Detroit. 5 The police departments range in size from 45 sworn officers to 366 sworn officers, with community populations from approximately 20,000 to 198,000. The survey was anonymous, and all 50 chiefs were contacted in advance by telephone. They were advised of the nature of the survey, told to expect it in the mail soon, and asked to personally complete and return the survey instrument. Thirty-seven completed surveys were later received, for a return rate of 74 percent.
The group surveyed is indicative of an educated, impressive group of police professionals leading municipal police departments. Eighty-nine percent of the police chiefs hold at east a four-year college degree; 54 percent have a master's degree or law degree; and 3 percent have a doctoral degree. They have an average service of 5.4 years as police chief, with an average of 28.6 years as a law enforcement officer.
Disappointing, however, is their low level of job protection and job security as police chief:
Highlights of Chiefs' ViewsA series of questions were designed to identify several aspects of being the chief executive officer of a department. Readers should consider these responses in light of their own personal experience.
Career Satisfaction: Although 97 percent of the respondents felt their law enforcement career had been a good choice and they would do it again, that same satisfaction was not related to the specific police chief position. In rating how "really satisfied" they are in their current job, on an increasing scale of one to 10, only 16 percent of police chiefs chose the top rating of 10. When asked, in looking at their overall career, to select the level or rank at which they felt the happiest and most satisfied, and when they had the most fun in their jobs, only 27 percent selected the "now, as chief" category. The largest response category to this question, 32 percent, selected "as sergeant." Other responses were mixed among other ranks.
How City Executives Can Help: The chiefs were asked what their immediate boss (city manager, mayor, and so on) could do to help them more in their jobs. Thirty percent responded that their boss could be generally more encouraging, empowering, and supportive; while 19 percent said they are satisfied that their immediate supervisor gives them the freedom and support that is necessary.
How Employees Can Help: When asked the same question about how police employees could better assist the chief, the largest response group, 22 percent, said that police employees could show a more positive outlook on the department and what's good for the organization and community. Other responses include employees taking more responsibility for their actions; being more proactive and creative; and seeing the big picture and the social, political, and legal ramifications of their everyday actions as police officers.
One survey question asked directly, "What categories of people seem to cause you the most difficulty and frustration in your job?" Overwhelmingly, the police chiefs selected problem employees, followed closely by politicians and elected officials and media reporters. The chiefs reported personal stresses in numerous examples of administering discipline, meeting political resistance, or grandstanding by local politicians, and being misquoted or mischaracterized by reporters.
The Job's Personal Toll: The chiefs reported the most significant negative impact of their job on their personal lives as being "the all-consuming stress and constant responsibility of the job." A second response category expressed was "the excessive time demands of the job."
Similar responses were made to the question, "What do you look forward to most about your eventual retirement?" The police chiefs most commonly responded, "Having control over my own schedule and my own time with spouse and family." A second reply was, "Getting away from the constant stress of personnel management and top responsibility."
The Positive Aspect of the Job: The police chiefs listed their most positive, enjoyable aspect of their chief's job as being able to make improvements and affect the department and officers in a positive way. A second significant response was helping people, solving problems, and making a difference in the community.
The Negative Aspect of the Job: The chiefs listed their most discouraging, dissatisfying aspect of their job as being the frustration of working in the political environment and dealing with politicians. The next most popular response was dealing with negative, resistant problem employees.
Handling Job StressWhen asked to whom they talk for advice, for support, or just to vent frustrations, 59 percent replied that they talk with other police chiefs, including retired or previous chiefs. Thirty-five percent indicated their spouse, family members, or close friends. Another frequent response was turning to prayer and faith.
It appears the police chiefs are making good choices in their methods of dealing with stress and job pressures. About 60 percent report dealing with stress by engaging in regular exercise, including jogging, walking, lifting weights, and participating in active sports. About 30 percent report spending quality time, including venting, with spouse and family.
Advice to the New ChiefThe respondents were asked for the one piece of advice they would give to a new police chief. Their largest response was to be calm and patient. This included going slowly and deliberately, and carefully evaluating the political environment, the organization, and the employees before instituting changes. Other responses include being honest, never compromising your integrity, developing good leadership work habits, preparing to be a political being, taking care of your personal self, and getting in touch with employees.
The Value of Police ChiefsThis survey established that police chiefs are an extremely important human resource. They provide a unique, beneficial service in leading police departments and protecting communities. Their special needs, frustrations, and problems are important to all of us in the continuation of our American way of life.
Several descriptive conclusions resulted from this study. Among them:
Supporting ChiefsThis exploratory research points the way to possible future improvements. These include the following:
Although the survey uncovered some of the frustrations experienced by Michigan police chiefs, it also indicated that public safety in Michigan is in good hands. ■

Kawasaki Mules provided. Drove up trail to overlook. Stopped at lodge for cookies and cocoa. On the way back stopped at the lodge for meal. BEST HALIBUT in the world. (Also had chicken).
Rained/misted constantly. Did you know that the inside of a cloud can be moist? We were provided rain panchos. Rain forest beautiful, tour staff were fine. Equipment was superior. If the weather had cooperated the views would have been spectacular. I recommend (better on a pretty day). There ain't nothin' they can do about Mother Nature.

One-in-four adults between the ages of 18 and 34 are involved binge drinking, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Because 80 percent of binge drinkers are not alcoholics, it's not recognized as a problem, CDC Director Thomas Frieden, M.D. said Tuesday during a news teleconference.
A binge, as defined by the CDC, is having several drinks -- four for women and five for men -- in a couple of hours. Anyone who's done this even once in the last month is a binge drinker.
Men are twice as likely as women to binge drink, and the practice is more common among whites than blacks.
The CDC calculates that binge drinkers account for more than half of the 79,000 annual alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. and for two-thirds of the 2.3 million years of potential life lost in 2001-2005. Six percent of all alcohol-attributed deaths -- 4,675 per year -- are in people under age 21.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Comparing lab automation in drug discovery to the tools used in the gold rush may not be so far fetched. "At first people panned for gold. Surface mining provided brute force, thus increasing the throughput, but the efficiency wasn't much better. Geological mining improved the miners' ability to find the actual gold," says Kevin Hrusovsky, CEO, Caliper Life Sciences (www. calipertech.com).
According to Hrusovsky, drug discovery is at that juncture now. The era of relying solely on high throughput, brute-force testing has passed, and companies are now focused on higher quality experimentation. If drug companies can profile the selectivity of compounds much sooner and more precisely, they should be able to discover safe drugs faster.
Has the promise of lab automation lived up to its potential in helping drug companies to achieve their objectives?
"Laboratory automation is being transformed by technologies like microfluidics, which provides screening capabilities that also serve the emerging need for higher quality data," explains Hrusovsky. "However, transformative technologies are by definition disruptive, and it takes time to revolutionize an entire industry."
John Gerace, director of automated solutions for the biomedical research division at Beckman Coulter (www.beckman.com), explains that "lab automation has been used to impact quality of experimental results, providing better accuracy and precision. This ultimately translates to more knowledge but not necessarily more throughput."
"The expectation was that by automating a part of the drug discovery process more drugs would be developed in a shorter period of time," says Chris McNary, vp/general manager of laboratory automation solutions at Thermo Electron (www. thermo.com).
"It was assumed that if you automate high throughput screening the entire discovery process would automatically shrink. The reality is that it just exposed other highly manual processes that became the next process bottlenecks."
The bottleneck keeps moving to a "different spot where the capability for automation exists, but has not been enabled," continues McNary.
"ADME is a good example. As a company starts to develop drug leads, it hits a manual process bottleneck. Thus, automation can increase throughput and quality and improve the overall ADME process management."
Gerace believes that the key to success for lab automation in drug discovery is focusing on solutions, rather than generic tools. "For instance, the highly touted 1,536-well technology of a few years ago has its place, but there is a greater return on investment in low-volume 384-well technology at the moment," he explains.
"While there is a need for more sophisticated dispensing and detection technology with 1,536 (wells), there have been big gains in decreasing well volumes from 96- to 384-well plates while using existing detectors."
Jeff Hurwitz, director of robotics at Hamilton (www.hamiltoncompany.com), believes that cost and performance issues, such as the nanopipetting of samples, have hindered the use of 1,536-well assays for drug discovery. In addition, the standard inexpensive detectors, probes, reagents, and readers are inadequate for this format of screening.
Only 10 of today's drug discovery tests are run in 1,536-well microtiter plates, says Hrusovsky. Miniaturizing microtiter plates increases throughput and reduces cost per test, but drug discovery companies have to overcome some hurdles in liquid handling for homogeneous assays.
When artifacts are created by fluorescence interference, assays produce false positives that hurt productivity. Traditional separation steps to confirm the data may not be effective.
Gerace points out that the big, expensive solutions for drug discovery have given way to off-the-shelf solutions that can be customized. Instead of using a dedicated programmer to develop a solution in months, these systems can be taken out of the box and be up and running in days.
Others, however, still might need some help. According to McNary, "Customers are realizing that they can't do it alone. They want providers who can come in and do the whole lab automation scheme. They're looking for a single vendor with a broad product portfolio to act as process consultants and as a single point of contact from lab construction through ongoing applications support."
Caprion (www.caprion.com), a drug discovery and development company applying its proteomics technologies to create pharmaceutical products for cancer and infectious disease, uses lab automation for plasma profiling in blood samples from clinical trials. The objective is to look for pharmacodynamics.
Gregory Opiteck, Ph.D., director of the department of protein analysis at Caprion, points out that, "We couldn't do the routine, mundane jobs or get the level of reproducibility without robots."
Although some pharmaceutical companies have hired entire departments to build robots, the plasma profiling field can take off-the-shelf solutions developed for combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening and adapt them to its purposes. "I'd rather spend the time and money finding biomarkers than reinventing the wheel," Dr. Orpiteck adds.
Greg Hollis, Ph.D., vp of applied technology at Incyte (www.incyte. com), believes that automated pipetting tools "allow scientists to exercise their gift for science, rather than doing mundane tasks." They save time, allow drug discovery companies to do more, move faster, minimize ergonomic problems, and provide higher accuracy.
"Liquid-handling tools can screen many samples at a time," says Dr. Hollis. "If a company has 300,000 compounds in a high throughput screening library, it can move from stock solutions to plates and screen 50,000 to 100,000 samples per day. That means a lot of people or one pipetting machine."
Dr. Hollis finds lab automation powerful because he uses it in focused ways. Rather than automate a whole process, his lab does a specific task and then moves to another piece of equipment.
As a mid-throughput pharma company, Isis (www.isip.com) sees its challenge as a way to balance productivity with the cost of equipment, physical space, and human equity.
"We're most productive when we have the ability to perform assays 24/7 and run them unattended," explains Rich Griffey, Ph.D., vp of chemistry, Isis. "We get the most out of the available time, leverage human resources, have the positive ability to find hits for particular targets and, thus, a higher probability of leads that can be turned into drug candidates."
Jim Keck, vp of biology research at Telik (www.telik.com), claims that high throughput tools have enabled his company's underlying technology. Telik, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on small molecule drugs to treat cancer and other serious diseases, uses a proprietary drug discovery technology, TRAP (Target-Related Affinity Profiling), for the discovery of small molecule drug candidates.
TRAP takes advantage of the fundamental principle that all pharmaceutically active molecules work by interacting with a protein target. Telik has several products in clinical trials; all of them have been developed internally using TRAP.
Each drug discovery company has a different idea of screening, thus making it hard for an automation company to come up with standard systems, points out Hurwitz. Integrated systems and workstations have to be open and flexible, and platforms have to work in many areas in drug discovery, genomics, and proteomics labs.
The closest to a standardized procedure is sample extraction using industry standard kits, notes Hurwitz. Drug discovery companies may do from 200 to 2,000 plates per day, and every company has a different vision of what constitutes stable compound storage.
McNary points out that current market dynamics include a change from large production facilities to smaller islands of automation with integrated focused libraries enabling real-time screening against more specific targets. More targeted screening campaigns will be done on a smaller scale, with modular flexible systems capable of performing a variety of discovery functions.
"The key is the use of cells, performing analyses in vivo instead of in vitro, as near to the native state of the biological human being," he says.
According to Griffey, there are major storage problems. Not all assays are suited to automation. A large investment is required to get assays into a format where they can be automated.
"For low-cost users, there is a big jump to dispense liquid in very small volumes, so they stay with 96-well formats. It's hard to mix and match old and new equipment," he adds.
Mark Harnois, senior product marketing manager at Waters (www.waters.com), notes that, "Technologically, analytical instruments are providing more information, which has to be captured, catalogued, and stored. We're seeing the benefits of the informatics part of lab automation, but we haven't seen all the benefits yet.
"Systems with open architecture can capture information from all systems into a central repository. How much is adopted' is the question. We're just starting to see the benefits of data interpretation and screening. We need to have more industry standards so that when new products generate information, they are vendor-neutral and allow scientists to move from one tool to another."
"Every automation vendor has different software," adds Hurwitz. "Some software is becoming similar, so users can interface. We need software to drive systems to be easier to use."
Dr. Hollis believes that there will be a continuing progression of tools as novel technologies need to be automated. New trends, according to Gerace, include miniaturization (nanoliter fluid transfers), multiplexed assays, sample and target preparation on chips, automation for preclinical and clinical trials, molecular diagnostics, and simplifying and automating bioassays regarding immune response.
Hrusovsky anticipates a move toward molecular diagnostics, where panel testing of the population will provide a genomic profile to help physicians prescribe medicine. He also expects microfluidics to help obtain high quality data and correct problems by further miniaturization.
Hurwitz says that the equipment used for high throughput screening is getting much smaller. "The cost of components is the driving issue on miniaturization. Key issues are stability, throughput, and miniaturization versus cost."
In five years, lab automation systems will be more intelligent and flexible, notes McNary.
"There will be a higher probability of success with modular flexible systems that totally integrate the discovery process and incorporate technologies such as microfluidics, on demand screening, cellular imaging, and in silico predictive modeling," he says.
"Lab automation has been associated with analytical instruments," adds Harnois. "Now we have to take paper notebooks and make them available electronically for patent defense and make behavioral changes about shared information.
"We need to be able to witness and document information, share in collaborations, and incorporate additional knowledge from the IT side to complement analytical instruments to provide solutions that manage information."
"In five years, the quality of the information will be absolutely paramount," maintains Hrusov-sky. "We have to be careful that we're not creating high throughput confusion."

This pattern has been extensively applied in the Network Management Unit Software (NUS) developed by MAS Technology. The Management Procedure Lock, the Condition Manager and the object handlers are implemented with the application of this pattern. I have used this pattern (with this name even) for developing a plugin architecture where the plugin shared library exports a CeeLanguage interface for what is effectively a CeePlusPlus object in the main program. This was done because the symbol naming standards for C are much simpler than for C++. The FILE pointer in the CeeLanguage stdio standard library is another example of InstanceData. Related Patterns The FamilyFusion pattern and the FamilySplit pattern describe two common techniques to design an instance data structure. The instance data structure may include operation pointers if the FunctionPointer pattern is applied. Dynamic typing information, if required, is provided by the ClassTag pattern.

Do Presidential Bioethics Committees Shape Science Policy?
Panels help frame the debate, but topics are sometimes chosen more because of political pressure than scientific need.!--h2>
When President Barack Obama's Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues reconvenes tomorrow, May 18, the agenda will include the Guatemalan governments' investigations into the intentional infection of people from 1946–48 by the U.S. Public Health Service during research on sexually transmitted diseases. It's a far cry from the original issue for which the president formed his commission last year—the ethics of synthetic biology research.
Framing the Debate
Two separate panels formed by President Bill Clinton investigated issues related to research subjects. The latter committee, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, became better known for offering the first federal report on the topic of stem cell research. Following the creation of Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal, Clinton requested the panel provide advice on human cloning within 90 days.
Agenda Setting
Another ethical hot potato that one of Clinton's bioethics commissions weighed in on was whether to embrace research based on the then-new application of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). The panel's final report included support for research involving the derivation and use of human embryonic germ cells from cadaveric fetal tissue derived from aborted fetuses and research involving the derivation and use of hESCs from embryos remaining after infertility treatments under regulations that include public oversight and review.
Trying to Be Bi-Partisan
While President Clinton's bioethics committee set out its own guidelines for cloning, in 2002 President Bush's bioethics council also produced a report. The referral of the cloning issue to presidential bioethics committees reflects the most obvious source of influence over such panels—agenda-setting by the White House.
Getting Back to Subject Protection
Protection of human subjects involved in research came to the forefront almost three decades ago when the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research was set up. It explored the treatment of several vulnerable populations during research, including fetuses, children, and prisoners.

The Buffett rule and the counterproductive rhetoric that helped kill it
April 16, 2012 - Mike Maneval
The "Buffett rule" died in the Senate Monday, failing to gain the 60 votes needed to break the threat of filibuster, all to make it to the body's floor. The change in tax policy would have established a minimum tax for some wealthy Americans who pay lower rates than their neighbors who work in middle-class professions.
I am not surprised the piece of legislation failed, and at least some of the blame for its failure should fall on its biggest supporters, who missed a key opportunity for a needed evolution of their principles on tax policy. Proponents of the legislation spent their efforts pitching the change as taxing "millionaires," or the "1 percent," or "the super-rich."
But this counterproductive rhetoric lent itself to rhetoric - though perhaps more effective - from opponents: That the change would tax the hardest working and most successful.
But the law wouldn't leave an airline pilot or an engineer or surgeon paying higher taxes, because these and other such professions that require more responsibility and a greater work ethic already pay a higher earned income tax rate. Financier Warren Buffett is able to pay lower rates than many Americans in the working middle class because his annual gains in wealth largely stem from capital gains and other unearned income - not from wages or salary for a career. It wouldn't be unfair to call the Buffett rule a tax increase on usury as opposed to a tax increase on hard work. Instead, Americans heard more about the "1 percent."
While the troubles the proposal faced in the Senate come from several sources, including the intentionally deliberative structure of the body and its inept leadership in the hands of Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, a long-lingering inability of the modern left to distinguish between unearned income and earned income and a knee-jerk tendancy to engage in demagoguery when the topic turns to accumulated wealth contributed to Monday's failure.

Don't expect to see wine kiosks in Sheetz convenience stores any time in the near future.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board recently asked the Altoona-based convenience store chain if it was interested but Sheetz said it isn't at the present time, Louie Sheetz, executive vice president of marketing said.
Sheetz, who observed one of the machines at a Wegman's in Camp Hill, said one major concern is the machines themselves.
"The performance of the equipment was an issue, and another issue for us was their physical size, they are huge," Sheetz said. "We have a small footprint, and we would have to replace something inside to put one in."
The kiosks, built by Simple Brands of Conshohocken, operate in more than 30 supermarkets and were approved for 24 Walmarts, including the one in Altoona, last week.
Hours of operation could also be an issue.
"We would want it to be open extended hours, not necessarily 24 hours a day," Sheetz said. "The PLCB requires that it only be open the hours they are open."
The inventory would be owned by the PLCB, Sheetz said.
"They would get all of the money. We would maybe get some more traffic," Sheetz said. "It is intriguing as a divestiture from the norm. We had some initial interest but not today."
The chain may consider the wine kiosks in the future, he said.
"We would always consider taking a look at it but you won't see these in Sheetz stores any time soon, we have no interest, the way it is structured," Sheetz said.

Though the tight-lipped actor, who was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993, hasn't spoken much about his personal life or the women he's dated over the years (Stacy Keibler, Elisabetta Canalis, and Lisa Snowdon to name a few), we found some gems. In anticipation of Clooney's impending nuptials, we gathered some of his most memorable thoughts on love and marriage. Here, a look back:
Clooney's Sexiest Man Alive Interview with PEOPLE in 2006On his vow to "never marry again" – and whether he's changed his mind: "Marriage? Who knows? I've been married. It's not something I'm looking out for," Clooney told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview when named Sexiest Man Alive in 2006. "Things could always change, but it's not a consideration right now. The truth is I'm really happy. The things that are a drag in my life are so outweighed by the things that are great. I have families that I spend my days with, and friends I spend my days with, and people I care very much about. I get to do what almost no one gets to do. My life's really good."
On whether he'll ever have children: "I think it's the most responsible thing you can do, to have kids," Clooney said. "I think it's the biggest responsibility you'll have, and it's not something to be taken lightly. I don't have that thing in me that says,'must do it'. I don't see myself ever having kids. But everything in my life has changed over periods of time ... and the world does change."
On what he finds attractive in a woman: His type of woman? "All different types over the years," Clooney told PEOPLE in 2006. "Everybody says this, but I'd bet sense of humor is no. 1 for me. It's certainly what's most attractive and the first thing you notice about someone. It's not the first thing you notice at 21, but it's the first thing you notice now. You also have to have a sense of humor about my life ... It certainly has had an effect on relationships, but I would bet less effect than my own issues or insecurities. You can't really blame outside forces for things not working out. You have to take some responsibility."

First thing in the morning on their first day of school, some students at Mater Dei Regional School in Lansdale got a pop quiz - from the archbishop.
"Do you know Latin?" Charles J. Chaput asked. Two fifth graders nodded cautiously. "Do you know the name of your school in Latin?" Mater Dei, "Mother of God," the girls answered.
The archbishop commended the girls and turned to the next volunteer. "What is character?"
"Uhhhhh . . . " replied the eighth-grade boy.
Chaput's lesson in vocabulary, metaphor, and religious history was a fitting way to christen the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's newest elementary school. Every pew was occupied Thursday morning with about 1,000 students, teachers, administrators, and relatives present as the archbishop led a prayer service and blessing for the new regional school, one of 32 that opened this week.

Updated Wednesday, July 3 to reflect Saint Joseph's move to the NEC.
July 1 marks a new era in the Division I lacrosse landscape, as many of the conference shuffles from recent years become official as of today.
The only "new" info in Monday's official announcements is Hobart moving to the NEC. For the other known moves, there are a lot of changes in logos to conference websites, introductory videos and news conferences, and more, but not much that hasn't already been discussed.
Here's a look at what's changing for the upcoming season, specific to lacrosse:
The ACC
The ACC welcomes Syracuse and Notre Dame to the already powerhouse conference.
The 2014 iteration of the ACC lacrosse conference will be the following:
North Carolina
Notre Dame
*Departs for Big Ten in 2015
The University of Maryland will be spending the year in two camps, one foot out the door to the Big Ten, while finishing out its final year of ACC play. The Maryland website still has its ACC logo but also images with the B1G logo saying, "Proud Past, Fearless Future."
Testudo, the Maryland mascot, is participating in the ACC's takeover of New York City, but has already been the brunt of some ill will from his mascot buddies.
#ACCtakesNYC brings mascots on the Statue of Liberty Cruise today in the Big Apple #Wahoowa pic.twitter.com/bNGayzQgBX
— Virginia Cavaliers (@VirginiaSports) July 1, 2013
The 2015 ACC will look the same but minus Maryland and compete as a five-team group.
The Patriot League
Also Monday, the Patriot League welcomes Loyola and Boston University as members in all sports, including lacrosse.
The 2014 Patriot League men's lacrosse conference will look like this:
Boston University
Holy Cross
It was already announced this summer that the conference tournament will see change, expanding to six teams with first-round byes for the top two seeds.
The cities of Baltimore and Boston declared it "Patriot League Day."
The "new" Big East
July 1 marks the official first day of operation for the "new" Big East Conference. The football schools have parted ways and now comprise the American Athletic Conference, and the Big East conference, as the league's release states, "returns to the Big East's roots" as a basketball-centric conference.
The Big East men's lacrosse schools — Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's and Villanova — thus keep the Big East moniker. They also officially welcome Denver as an associate member for Big East lacrosse starting now; Rutgers will play a lacrosse schedule for one year before departing for the Big Ten in 2015.
The 2014 Big East men's lacrosse will look like this:
St. John's
*Departs to Big Ten for 2015
The MAAC
The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference welcomes two new members on July 1, both of which play men's lacrosse.
Quinnipiac and Monmouth (first year of play is 2014) join the league. It also marks the departure of Jacksonville and VMI, who leave for the newly-formed Atlantic Sun Conference.
The 2014 MAAC men's lacrosse will look like this:
The Atlantic Sun
It's a good time to bring up that the Atlantic Sun will be a new conference for 2014, and it will likely receive an AQ.
Here is what the 2014 Atlantic Sun men's lacrosse conference will look like:
High Point
The league will be at seven members in 2014 with the announcement of Hobart joining the league and also Wednesday's news of Saint Joseph's leaving the CAA for NEC.
Here is what the 2014 NEC men's lacrosse conference will look like:
Mount St. Mary's
Robert Morris
Sacred Heart
Saint Joseph's
The CAA looked like it was staying the same for 2014 until Wednesday, when Saint Joseph's announced it was departing for the NEC. Here's the 2014 CAA alignment:
Penn State*
*Penn State will depart to the Big Ten in 2015. In September, IL broke the news that PSU will be ineligible for the conference championship but will still play a league schedule. The CAA will add Fairfield then to remain at six members.
What's left?
There is still change on the horizon and other moves that go into affect for the 2015 season. The formation of the Big Ten and its trickle-down effects is the big development that will be official next summer.
ECAC's Air Force will be looking for a home, and Fairfield has already announced it will join the CAA in 2015. Just for reference, here is what the 2014 ECAC conference looks like (as of today):
Air Force
Ohio State
The Atlantic Sun is also a potential landing spot for Air Force, the only ECAC team left unaccounted for. Bellarmine will move to the A-Sun for the 2015 season.
So for 2014, the Ivy League, and America East will remain the same as last season. The America East will welcome UMass-Lowell in 2015.

This review is from: ZALMAN CNPS10X Extreme 120mm CPU Cooler with Worlds first PWM Fan Speed Controller
Pros: Core i7 920 2.66GHz - OC Testing
Stock @ 3.2GHz: 80C
ZALMAN @ 3.2GHz: 38C
ZALMAN @ 3.9GHz: 53C
A huge decrease in temperatures. All temperatures tested using the lowest (blue) speed. Very quiet at the lowest speed, slightly audible at the highest (red).
Cons: Difficult to install. When first installed, i wasn't lined up flat with the bracket, and had to uninstall and fix. (Caught before boot).
A little large on height. While it didn't block any RAM slots, it did require I remove a side fan on my case door in order to close it.
Other Thoughts: Looking forward to using this again after upgrading to an Ivy Bridge processor.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Halo 3: ODST Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Decent single player story, although the character's are not too immersive. Firefight is very fun, although fairly difficult, and can be frustrating if playing with less-skilled players due to the life system. Overall the game is very fun.
Cons: Short. In 3-player co-op on Legendary (first playthrough), the game clocked in a little under 4 hours 30 minutes. With 4 players or an easier difficulty, I'd expect it to be shorter. Firefight has no matchmaking, meaning you need to play with friends over Xbox Live to actually enjoy this, and can not play with random players. Playing single player can end up being more frustrating than fun, and quickly wears then. Recommended to play with others.
Other Thoughts: Adding matchmaking to firefight would have been enough to make this a great game in my eyes, but as-is, it's far too hard to get a game started. If playing alone, this will likely have no lasting appeal to you. The hub does end up being frustrating sometimes in campaign, since many roads end up as dead ends while the map leads you to believe there should have been a door there (or the door doesn't open).READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SAMSUNG 52" 1080p LCD HDTV LN52A550
Pros: Great Video quality. Standard def cable still looks fine, with HD content looking great. Xbox 360 hooked up via HDMI has great quality as well. The price is great for such a large and high-quality HDTV. Completely satisfied the TV and haven't had any issues with it.
Cons: Sound quality by itself started out kinda low, as its lacking bass. Calibrating the audio made a big difference. It does sound a little weird when standing beside the TV instead of in front of which, but then again, you don't watch it from the side. Also, energy saving settings seems to apply across all inputs, and can't be customized per input, which conflicted with differing calibrations I found.
Other Thoughts: I'd recommend using AVSForum for calibrating both the audio and the video for the TV. Made a large difference for the sound in my opinion, and probably helped the picture quality as well. I've tweaked some of the settings to lower the brightness some for gaming, as it was too bright for the darker lighting in my room.READ FULL REVIEW

Reaping the harvest of "seeding"
March 3, 2009 - Rick Kozlowski
Those favoring seeding basketball sections by votes of the participating coach have some ammunition in their arsenal for keeping the current system during this first year of the new basketball playoffs.
The top two girls seeds in most of the sections advanced last week.
According to Ed R. Forshey on Tristatepreps.com, hereás the breakdown:
• In Class AAA, all eight top seeds advanced to regional play, seven as section champions. Six of eight second seeds advanced, one as a champion. Two Nos. 3 moved on.
• In Class AA, all eight top seeds advanced, six as champions. Five Nos. 2 moved on, two as champs, and three Nos. 3.
• In Class A, seven of eight top seeds advanced, six as champions. Seven advanced as Nos. 2, two of them champions. One No. 3 and one No. 4 moved on.
That speaks well to the system in place, even one where there has been some blatant manipulation of the voting in some cases.
What it is says is that coaches basically got it right when 85 percent of the top two seeds are advancing. That says the system got it right.
At face value, sure.
But what about the five- and six-team sections where the seeds from three and below need to win three games? The last one would likely come on the court of the first- or second-seeded team, too.
In four-team sections, two teams would advance, and that makes it easier for the ones and twos to move on, too.
That's the side numbers alone don't reveal.
It will be interesting to see how the numbers break down after the boys sectionals are done.
It will be even more interesting down the road to see if they keep this system or restore the logical system of seeding the playoffs based on regular-season section meetings.

And that's why I always have a stop loss. Saved myself a 0.20 cent dip. That's alot of dough for me.
This selloff is overdone. Looking for another base this afternoon when all the weak hands and stop loss orders get whacked. I wouldn't be surprised if this gaps up tomorrow.
Yeah, I am adding. Market down 0.4% and TSRX down 5%. Sector related selling. Failboats like TTNP may be scaring some. I always said don't trust TTNP, and even if they got approval it would probably not sell that well.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I told everyone of my friends not to buy TTNP. Adcom voted 10-4-1. That's a negative!
FDA expects perfection for the safety of the public. I kept telling all my friends you should be asking why those 4 EXPERTS voted thumbs down. They said nah...10 voted positive it's good to go. Stupid. None of them listened. Now they lost 75% of their cash. Sad ordeal.
I have kept statistics on the Adcom panel voting and approval. Here are the results..
Percent of Adcom members Recommending === Approval rate === N ( number of drugs)
81% to 100% positive vote === 85% approval rate === N=62 drugs
61% to 80% positive vote === 65% approval rate === N=16 drugs
41% to 60% positive vote === 35% approval rate === N=14 drugs
23% to 40% positive vote === 0% approval rate === N=10 drugs
0% to 22% positive vote === 0% approval rate === N=22 drugs

The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) says it wants to regain the public's trust by creating smart, clean and honest members through a system of rewards and punishments.
Head of the PDI-P's ethics council Sidarto Danusubroto said on Friday that political parties in Indonesia had gloomy futures because of waning trust from voters.
"The lack of trust from the public is not only our problem, I believe. It is every party's problem. We are trying to rebuild a clean image by showing our commitment in combating any breach of the party's statutes," he said on the sidelines of the party's coordinating meeting in Jakarta.
The Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) released a report in May that showed that voter participation had declined 20 percent over the last three general elections.
Endemic corruption, bribery and ethics abuse cases implicating legislators have driven people's trust away from political parties.
Following its congress in Bali in April last year, the party has established an ethics council that also functions as a monitoring body.
Sidarto said his party deserved a chance to show the party's improvements in combating corruption and bribery cases.
"Give us [the ethics council] time to do this unpopular job," he said.
The party's efforts to improve its image have been hit by the recent exposure of several bribery cases implicating party members.
The bribery case in the election of Bank Indonesia senior deputy governor Miranda Goeltom in 2004 has implicated 30 lawmakers and former lawmakers, 12 from the PDI-P.
They allegedly received traveler's checks ranging from Rp 350 million (US$ 40,950) to Rp 1.45 billion in value.
The whistle-blower in the case, politician Agus Condro, was subsequently dismissed from the PDI-P.
He was sentenced to 15 months in prison on Thursday.
Sidarto said that since last April the ethics council had dismissed 14 members, suspended 15, demoted 23, and issued written warnings to 32.
Ranked as the nation's third-largest party after the Democratic Party and the Golkar Party, the PDI-P claims it has more than 30 million supporters throughout Indonesia.
Party secretary-general Tjahjo Kumolo said that his party had obligated all of its provincial and regency branches to have advocacy teams.
"We want our regional factions in the House of Representatives to have advocacy teams. If we don't have such teams, how can we asses, understand, and deliberate each bill properly? We don't want to make any wrong steps," he said. (lfr)

Except for memory failure, body parts collapsing, inability to jog, jump or do the limbo, old age is a blast. People open doors for you, help you climb up steps, ramps and hillsides and address you as "Ma'am."
My current blast effort is completing the manuscript to what will undoubtedly become a classic show (bragging rights come with advancing years). I'm speaking of "Older Than Dirt, the Musical." So far I've got 22 songs — parodies and original tunes — on the subject of dotage. Not sad, not woe-is-me, not full of wise clichés — heck no. Older Than Dirt, the Musical is meant to entertain, evoke laughter, and celebrate that wondrous ride called: Life! The following is a parody. Read it, but don't weep.
Onward Into the Fog ...
(Tune: Auld Lang Syne)
I started life at zero age,
Knew nothin' much at all,
I couldn't speak no languages;
Knew only how to bawl.
I grew and learned the rules of life,
I shouldn't cheat or steal;
Explored the world, learned right from wrong,
And learned what's false, what's real.
Into the fog I go my dears
Into the fog I go
I'm travelin' onward in the fog
Into the fog I go
In school I learned my ABC's,
And then discovered boys;
My highschool days I've not forgot
For they were full of joys.
In college years I earned degrees
And started my career;
I chased my dreams; I fell in love
And shed romantic tears.
Into the fog I go my dears
Into the fog I go
I'm travelin' onward in the fog
Into the fog I go
Had wedding bells; prioritized
My work and family;
I made it into middle age
With shaky sanity!
As onward through the fog I totter,
Senior moments flourish!
My mem-o-ry's developed holes;
I purt near get discouraged!
I've lost some body parts, but hey,
Still among the livin'!
I've managed to survive my sins,
All misdeeds forgiven.
Too soon I'll face that downhill slide,
I've gotta watch my step;
And when they bury me in dirt,
Ain't comin' back (oh, heck!)
I've used my talents up, my friends,
And soon I'll have to go
To my final resting place,
Into the fog I go.
Come celebrate with me, my friends
When my time comes along,
And if you ain't forgot me yet,
Do join me in this song!
Into the fog I go my dears
Into the fog I go
I'm travelin' onward in the fog
Into the fog I go

The Fire Protection tax is something that has always been incorporated into the Township tax. In previous years, it was never separated out on the tax bills. However this year, in an effort to be more transparent, the Township Supervisors wanted the Fire Protection tax listed as a separate line on the tax bills, so that our residents can see where their taxes are going and how much they are paying toward that service. This was modeled after other adjacent Townships' tax breakdowns (North Lebanon and South Lebanon), which have shown the separation for years.
Fire Protection service encompasses many things related to emergency situations, namely: fire hydrants, insurances, supplies for the Neversink Fire Company, monetary support of the Neversink Fire Company, as well as other emergency agencies.
Even though the printing company did not print the mils for Fire Protection on the tax bill, residents contribute 0.20 mils toward this service.

I have not shot it with a high powered scope, but with my scout scope I can easily hit deer sized targets out to 300 yards. With my SS I get groups of 1 1/2 inches at 100 yards. I know this is not great, but it is with a 2x scope. I am sure I could do much better with higher magnification.
I believe Dick Metcalf did a review of Ruger short bbls in shooting times a few last summer. He got some unbelievable groups. You might try a search for it.
Hope this helps you,

Not the compact, but should be similar in performance.

Arkansas, we got a few of the Ruger M77MKII Hawkeye rifles in tonight at the shop. These have full wraparound checkering on the stock and an improved trigger. The checkering is nice. The trigger is great compared to a standard M77; it broke very crisply and cleanly with no creep. For the improved trigger alone I'd suggest spending a few bucks more on the Hawkeye variant.

I love mine, I have built up a nice load for it and it shoots better than I can.
I do have a pretty cheap scope on it, (Bushnell Sportview), but it has been holding up well.
For the type of hunting here in Pennsylvania (lots of scrub and brush in my area) it is perfect in my opinion, I rarely take or even get a shot at anything over 100 yards.
The shorter length, makes it ideal as a "brush gun" and it is lighter to boot.

"I've been a little immature in the past and made some wrong choices. But they made me who I am today," the hotel heiress, who walked out of jail Tuesday morning, said in her first TV interview, on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday.
"I felt like this is a new beginning for me," she added. "There's just so much more to me than what people think."
Advancing a message she first began to spread while still behind bars (and emphasized in her interview with PEOPLE on Tuesday), Hilton, 26, said she now appreciates "things I took for granted" and plans to use her fame "in a good way." She called jail "a very traumatic experience, but I do feel God makes everything happen for a reason." (See the complete transcript here.)
Hilton told King that her incarceration allowed her "time to figure out who I am." Asked if jail changed her, she replied, "Yeah, definitely. I have a new outlook on life."
To survive the ordeal, particularly in the beginning, Hilton said, "I went with the motto, 'Don't serve the time, let the time serve you.' "
She also told of complete strangers showing up during visiting hours claiming to be relatives so they could meet her (they were not permitted inside) and said that she didn't really hear what was being said about her in the outside world.
Growing guarded when asked about her friend Britney Spears, Hilton said, "Sweet girl, a good mom." Admitting that she knows Lindsay Lohan ("I wish the best for her," Hilton offered), she later said, "I don't have any friends in rehab." (Lohan is currently in Promises, a treatment facility.)
Asked by King why she's doing interviews, Hilton, who spoke quietly throughout the low-key hour, said, "I just want to let people know what I went through ... something I've really grown from."
Of the constant attention paid to her, King wondered, "Why you?" "I have no idea," Hilton replied. "I'm just living my life."
Hilton, who says she read the Bible to pass time in jail, hesitated when asked for her favorite Bible passage, but said she read the book every day. "I don't know if I have a favorite," she said.
Raised a Catholic, Hilton said she will now go to Mass.
King labeled her situation "a double-edge sword. There's a kind of denial over having done anything wrong. ... She thinks she got a raw deal. On the other hand, she thinks she used jail to her benefit."
Asked to predict Hilton's future, King replied, "I think we shall see what we shall see."
For exclusive photos of Paris at her grandfather's mansion following her release from jail, pick up the latest PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
