2011 IACP Annual Conference: Call for Workshop Proposals
Peers sharing knowledge and ideas is the hallmark of the annual conference educational program. The IACP's goal is to offer relevant and timely education and training to help attendees do their jobs more effectively and make their agencies more successful.
Through this call for proposals, the IACP seeks the very best, most relevant, and most thought-provoking ideas in order to deliver content pertinent to the law enforcement profession. Educational sessions are conducted in a variety of settings including track workshops, learning laboratories, poster sessions, innovation theaters, and a new technique called "the fishbowl," in which audience members are participants seated in concentric circles.
Members can submit proposals online at the conference website. Visit http://www.theiacpconference.org and click on the navigation button Educational Program. The deadline for submissions is April 6.
Upcoming IACP Events
Readers should regularly visit the IACP website and review upcoming events, conferences, and meetings. Following is a quick review of IACP activities.
The SACOP Midyear Meeting. The 2011 SACOP Midyear Meeting is March 5–7 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. SACOP is the organizing body for the 50 state associations of chiefs of police, facilitating the exchange of information to leadership, to policy makers, and into the field.
SACOP membership comprises the decisionmaking body of each state association of chiefs of police, including the presidents of the individual state associations; the state representatives who serve as each state's SACOP liaison (often a board officer); and the executive directors who manage the associations. For more information, e-mail Erin Vermilye at firstname.lastname@example.com or Nuyiri Kasbarian at email@example.com.
The 35th Annual IACP Law Enforcement Information Management Training Conference and Exposition. The 2011 LEIM (Law Enforcement Information Management) conference is being held in San Diego, California, June 13–15. The LEIM conference hosts law enforcement chief executives, commanders, operational practitioners, technical developers, and industry representatives to share leading practices and lessons learned in the innovative application of technology to improve officer and public safety, enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and build enterprise-wide information sharing capabilities. For more information, visit the IACP website and click on the LEIM 2011 logo.
The 17th Annual Training Conference on Drugs, Alcohol, and Impaired Driving. The Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Section Training Conference is being held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, July 19–21. Despite the tireless efforts of thousands of advocates, impaired drivers in the United States continue to kill someone every 30 minutes—that's nearly 50 people a day, and almost 18,000 people a year. The DRE section provides a unique opportunity for those professionals associated with drug recognition to share common management, training, administrative, and practicing concerns to change this trend. For more information, e-mail Carolyn Cockroft at email@example.com.
The 118th Annual IACP Conference. Join your peers in Chicago, Illinois, at McCormick Place West, October 22–26, for the 118th Annual IACP Law Enforcement Education and Technology Exposition. In 1893, at the Chicago World's Fair, 51 police chiefs met to discuss the challenges they faced in their departments and organized the National Chiefs of Police Union, later changed to the International Association of Chiefs of Police in 1902. Today, police chiefs from around the globe come together at the annual IACP conference to foster the exchange of information and experience among police leaders around the world and find solutions to issues they are facing.
"If all the Chiefs of Police view this important matter as I do . . . With the aid of this organization, I believe that within a few years the statutes of all states and territories governing crime and appertaining to extradition and police matters would be comparatively the same, and with the more efficient police service throughout the country which this organization would naturally promote, would, according to my idea, operate as the greatest stroke which has ever been made in this country against crime." —Webber S. Seavey, November 18, 1892
You are invited to attend the Chicago conference and be a part of IACP history and, more importantly, the future of law enforcement. For more information, visit the IACP website at http://www.theiacp.org, and click on the IACP 2011 logo.
The New U.S. Terrorism Threat Advisory System
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano recently announced the new National Terrorism Threat Advisory System. The new system, to replace the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System, is expected to more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.
IACP President Mark Marshall, chief of police in Smithfield, Virginia, praised the new system, saying, "The IACP strongly supports this initiative and fully recognizes the need for the system to be updated. Over the past several years, DHS and its intelligence section have greatly enhanced the information being disseminated to state, local, and tribal law enforcement and have, in turn, allowed law enforcement to be better informed. We now have more timely, credible, and operationally relevant information; and, because of these great strides, the color-coded system is no longer needed." The IACP participated in the Homeland Security Alert System Task Force, the group that made the recommendations for the alert system changes.
Under the new system, the DHS will issue formal, detailed alerts when it receives information about a specific or credible terrorist threat. These alerts will include a clear statement that there is an "imminent threat" or "elevated threat." The alerts also will provide a concise summary of the potential threat; information about action being taken to ensure public safety; and recommended steps that individuals and communities, businesses, and governments can take.
According to the DHS, the alerts will be based on the nature of the threat: in some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the public through both official and media channels. Alerts will also have an official expiration date to fully communicate the scope and duration of the threat.
The new alert system will be implemented and completed by April. The IACP will continue to be involved and work with the DHS during the transition period.

Canadian Associations Unite to Move Forward on 700 MHz Broadband
During the Fourth Canadian Public Safety Interoperability Workshop, the presidents of Canada's three major associations representing police, fire, and emergency medical services announced the creation of the Tri-Services Special Purpose Committee on 700 MHz Broadband for Mission Critical Public Safety Data. The creation of the committee is in direct response to Industry Canada's recent announcement of public consultations on the use of the 700 MHz band by commercial mobile services.
Some 700 MHz narrow and wideband spectrum are already dedicated to public safety in Canada for voice and some lowerspeed data use. However, securing dedicated spectrum for broadband applications for public safety will ensure wireless broadband networks can be built with the needs of public safety in mind moving forward. Availability of such networks responds directly to the Canadian tri-services' identified priorities of improved interoperability and integrated emergency management. Spectrum allocations are a key enabler for the creation of such networks.
The associations have appointed three representatives to strike the Tri-Services Special Purpose Committee on 700 MHz Broadband for Mission Critical Public Safety Data. They are Superintendent Bill Moore, Halifax Regional Police; Superintendent Pascal Rodier, British Columbia Ambulance Service; and Division Chief Mike Sullivan, Ottawa Fire Service. Together, the three representatives will set in motion a mechanism to monitor and advise on the issue, inform stakeholders, and identify responder spectrum needs and potential opportunities.

INTERPOL Operation Nets $200 Million of Counterfeit Products
Fake goods worth more than $200 million have been seized and nearly 1,000 people have been arrested in a series of operations coordinated by INTERPOL across South America targeting organized criminal counterfeiting networks. Operation Jupiter V, a year-long operation throughout 2010, led to a series of interventions across 13 countries in the region and the seizure of nearly eight million counterfeit products including construction materials, sports clothes and shoes, sunglasses, mobile phones, books, car parts, computer software, and alcohol.
Goods were recovered from a range of locations including markets, commercial shopping centers, and street vendors. In a number of cases, social networking sites were also identified as distribution channels for counterfeit products.
This is the fifth such operation coordinated by INTERPOL in the region. A key element in the success of Operation Jupiter V was the increased awareness and allocation of resources to tackle the dangers posed by counterfeit and pirated products, including the creation of dedicated intellectual property crime units in Chile and Peru.
This fifth Operation Jupiter conducted in South America consisted of four operational phases, including the provision of training to more than 150 police and customs officers, prosecutors, and intellectual property crime investigation specialists. Since INTERPOL's Intellectual Property Rights program launched the first Operation Jupiter in 2005, nearly one-half billion dollars worth of counterfeit goods have been recovered while local police have received assistance in identifying and dismantling gangs involved in drugs and gun smuggling.
The Most Wanted Health Care Fugitives List
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched its Most Wanted Fugitives List—the first-ever list of individuals sought on charges of health care fraud and abuse—to focus public attention on its most wanted fugitives.
The Most Wanted Fugitives List at http://oig.hhs.gov/fugitives on the OIG website includes photos and profiles of each featured fugitive. The site also includes an online fugitive tip form and the OIG hotline number (1-888-476-4453) for the public to report fugitive-related information in either English or Spanish, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The web page will also indicate when fugitives' statuses change, including when they are captured.
The 10 individuals on the Most Wanted Health Care Fugitives List have allegedly cost taxpayers more than $124 million in fraud. In all, the OIG is seeking more than 170 fugitives on charges related to health care fraud and abuse. ■

Unnatural selectionJune 21,2013
Unnatural selection
Recently, printed on a black T-shirt, I saw the symbol of a fish with four eyes and four legs labeled Monsatan and the words Genetically Modified Foods Doing Gods work for Mother Nature. It stopped me cold.
GMOs, an example of mans ignorance and disrespect toward nature for money. Our very lives depend on the complex interactive workings of nature; we human animals are part of nature. And yet companies like Monsanto are allowed to seriously mess with nature possibly past redeeming. Get this: Taking an animal gene and inserting it into a plant for a protein. Or genetically modifying a seed so that an herbicide can only kill what surrounds a GMO corn, not the corn. What about the soil receiving the herbicide?
Moving DNA from one species to another is very unnatural selection. We dont know its long-term effects. Labeling may help phase GMOs toward oblivion. Many countries have sense enough not to import them. But what can be done? We need the kind of care indigenous people gave their environment for thousands of years.

How to Speak an Unpopular Truth
I can't be the first person to point out that having "Moves like Jagger" isn't a good thing, but a point this important is worth repeating.
Also worth repeating is my gratitude to all of you who are using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
Reader Comments (49)
That's certainly a backhanded complement at best...though still better than "Handsome like Richards".
Er... he's not talking about Jagger's DANCE moves...
A point like this may be worth repeating, but not at the expense of my sanity for having been reminded of this absolutely terrible song er, uh, genre.
Curious, I was just thinking about Sir Michael yesterday. I'd head a song, "Tik Tok" by Kesha (or Ke$ha), describing a night of clubbing. It included the lines
"the boys are lining up 'cause they hear we have swagger/
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger."
This woman was born in 1987. I suppose the full sentiment of 'unless they look like Mick Jagger did when my parents were entering puberty' would have complicated the rhyme scheme.
Also, thank you for the image of a chicken attempting to imitate a horse.
In all fairness, the song says "moves" and not "dancing skills", and have you ever seen a video Jagger at a live show?!? HE'S ALL OVER THE PLACE! ALL THE TIME! It's like a curse was put on him to make his feet boil if he stops moving for more than 3 seconds... Or he's possessed by a chicken with equine aspirations.
That being said those lyrics are dumb, but to me the irony just makes the song more fun.
The second panel describes one darn talented chicken.
Haven't watched any video of Jagger recently enough to have an opinion. Well, I do have one, but my opinion is that I don't care.
I love BI though. This continues the theme of people getting really passionate about things that don't matter to most other people.
To the above, Jagger has always been legendarily ugly. It was noted that he was the best example of music being more important than looks as far as getting women--if someone as hideous as him can get the girls with enough musical skill, anyone can.
I too have this skill. Gleefully will I crap all over the prized music of the 1970s, and I'm not even talking disco (which is too easy). In particular I loathe the low female vocals of that era and their cruel tendencies toward singing folk. But I can also dump on the music of the newer generations too, or at least what passes for music since most of it doesn't have a melody. I refuse to believe, however, that Nicki Minaj represents the next generation's music, or indeed any kind of music at all.
Not a fan of Maroon 5, but I'll give them credit that at least they didn't rhyme it with 'swagger'.
To be fair, the man once managed to put the "moves" on David Bowie...
"Whines like Meyer." Man, you're gonna have a SONG named after you! I'm so jealous!!!
Tastes differ. I'm about the same age as Jagger and to me, he was visually appealing back in the day. But Elvis Presley, ugh.
Tim's comment up there is right--it's a Maroon Five song, which means that it's about the only thing it can be about: how great Adam Levine is at sex.
I have to second Robert's comment - that was the first thing I thought of after reading this comic. Ke$ha (pronounced keh-dollar-sign-ha, I assume) apparently throws parties so awesome that they only accept blokes who look like a baseball glove that's been soaking in vinegar for 30 years. Or a ballsack.
I'm somewhat amazed that Graham (don't ask how long it took me to find his name in the archives) thought that the people in the video were actually dancing well.
I agree with Remy on the swagger part!
Am a great fan of the song and the video!
I am advance-ordering "Whines Like Meyer" on itunes.
At last, a kindred spirit, all Jagger has is a dyspeptic chicken strut, and if 'moves' doesn't refer to dancing, I'm not sure just having butt loads of money really counts as a move. And to Robert, maybe 'look like Mick Jagger' means looking like you have a butt load of money.
There's already a song parody called "Moves Like Frogger", much better than the original, at least if you know the game Frogger:
A new smash hit from the creators of Whines like Meyer:
Fails like Rick.
You aren't the only one. I've been screaming it since it first showed up. Who in their right mind thinks that Jagger had moves?!
It's only an improvement if you formerly had "Moves like Cocker" (Joe).
There's been a few of these lately, where the "musician" references an older artist. Some guy claiming to be like Ray Charles, purely because he's got his shades on, and another which has completely escaped my mind while I wrote this sentence :( Sign of my age.
And Remy, don't even get me started on f**&ing Swagger Jagger. Tom Lehrer said that Clementine was a musical turd excreted by the musically illiterate*. Cher Lloyd heard the turd and reached for the polish.
* I'm paraphrasing.
I read the last line and was thinking, yeah, I could get behind a song mocking John Mayer, why wait for someday?
But yours is good too! :)
This reminds me of a great Sunday strip of Bloom County from back in the day.
I'm going to have to go out there and agree with Tim -- this isn't a song about dancing.
until my seven year old came home singing this song and I looked it up; I had liked Maroon5
that ended immediately
Panel four is right.
These are the things that no one ever told me in my youth;
a pretty lie will get you by much better than the truth...
I invite you to consider the song, "Swagger Jagger". I am not making that up. The title appears to mean "One who imitates the graces of another..
Freddie Starr aped my Jagger - I wonder if you've heard of him.
Or of Max Wall, who did it before Mick Jagger did.
See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Jagger#Personal_life
Jerry Hall. Carly Simon. Margaret Trudeau. Carla Bruni. Edith Grove.
That's good moves.
I hear the song was going to be 'moves like Jagielka' but it only scanned well in Polish. :p
Wait. You're all judging pop music based on the defensibility of its lyrics? Excuse me, but... are you from the past?
"Mick Jagger dances like a chicken that's imitating a horse" would be an awesome fortune to pull from a cookie.
Anyone who moves like Jagger should probably get some physical therapy. Also, anyone who looks like Jagger should probably get some booze. Because beer goggles is the only way Jaggerwockys can get lucky. My significant other has informed me that "if I ever look like Jagger", she will leave me for a more attractive man. Unless I am as rich as Jagger. Then she will stay.
I think that is the real message in the song. "moves like Jagger" is actually just code for "makes money like Jagger".
also, @mp: hilarious. I too am passionate about things that don't matter. I think that, if you took a poll, most of the reader of this comic would feel the same. As Scott obviously does.
So, how 'bout Plastic Bertrand's sweet moves?
He makes Jagger look like Fred Astaire!
It is so nice to be in the company of like minded people. The truth is like getting into a warm bath. A little difficult at first, but once you're balls deep in it you can relax.
The song is referring to his skills performing oral sex. When he refers to Jagger I think he really means the Rolling Stones logo of the gigantic tongue.
Anyone likely to be impressed by the comparison to Jagger is unlikely to actually like the song anyway.
To those not understanding the appeal of Jagger:
People find people with full lips attractive. They generally are good kissers. Fronting one of the all-time best bands and being richer than Midas doesn't hurt either.
As for the song, I find it infectious. My previous opinion of Maroon 5 had been that of a pop band led by that guy on that reality show with the spinny chairs. No, not that ripoff reality show. The original one with the spinny chairs.
This is a much better version, IMHO. :)
You ain't lying about his dancing. When I first heard the song, I thought "is he really telling the world he can't dance?"
Great conclusion to the topic, too. Bash at yourself to distance yourself from most modern-music-genre haters.
the only version of "moves like jagger" that I find listenable is the jazzy, ipad-y version with the legendarily bearded Jordan Rudess.
Are the lyrics really all that important? I mean, who really even understands the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, the greatest rock song of all time?

Gay Hotel Security Goes Wacko Over Wolfman
Ves Pitts
Rob Roth is a performer/director who plays a Cocteau-esque wolfman full of woe and longing.
He was in full costume at the Out NYC gay hotel, where Out There magazine was having a party, and where a room was allotted for the evening's performers (like Rob) to get dressed up in.
Having done so, he was sitting in the courtyard rehearsing his lines when an overanxious security guard came barreling over and treated him like a vagrant.
The guy just couldn't seem to believe Rob was dressed like a wolf for a performance and that he was a legit person who deserved be hanging at the complex.

I guess he thought this is how homeless crashers dress nowadays!
Chalk it up to the magic of theater--or the horror of ineptitude.
Later, during the actual party, Rob barreled around with a bottle, bumping into people en route to the stage--fully in character, mind you.
Again, the guard got nervous and started getting on his case.
He even walkie-talkied for backup!
The crowd started acting a bit uncomfortable, wondering whether this was part of the show or not.
Yes, it is indeed part of the weird show that security has made itself the unexpected costar of.
PS: I just hope that at a gay hotel, they don't get nervous when they see a bear lurking around.

"I love that your agency always attends to my personal insurance needs. They thoroughly review my policies, making sure that I get the proper coverage for the best price."
"I've had my policies with Allstate for a few years and have always been happy with the service that I have received from Carrie at The Lake Insurance and Financial. She answers any questions or concerns and takes time to explain my coverages to me. If I ever purchase a home, The lake Insurance and Financial will be the first company I call."
"The Lake Insurance and Financial, Inc. did a complimentary review of all my insurance policies. I was assigned to Mariano Villacorta who helped me review my coverages and analyze the policies for me. Since my review, Mariano has helped me to upgrade my homeowners, auto, and life insurance. I was very impressed by his integrity and professionalism. He is a true testament to what The Lake Insurance and Financial, Inc strives for. Excellent and honest service."
Dear Vanessa,
Tom and I, Holden and Genevieve all have benefited from having you as our family Allstate agent contact. We marvel that insurance issues are NOT something our family has to worry about, from discussing our questions and needs openly with you to calling you when we have a claim. You're a Godsend, Vanessa!
"Great customer service. Every time I call I get help right away."

She was in the middle of the lane and I almost ran over her, so I pulled over and ran back to see if she was ok. Traffic was backing up because she wasn't getting out ofof the road. And as soon as she saw me, she ran up to me and jumped into my arms, so I took her home, gave her a bath, and that was that.

Several years ago Katie was wandering around outside a neighbor's house down the street. (She had just shown up there one day - my neighbor said she thought she had been dumped off.) She couldn't let Katie inside because she already had a territorial inside cat of her own. As I was walking down to her house, Katie spotted me and started trotting my way. She was the cutest, friendliest little calico ever! It was love at first sight for both of us, and my neighbor was happy to let me keep her!

The U.S. Attorney's Office filed wire fraud charges related to the scheme against Gregory N. McKnight of Swartz Creek on Feb. 14 and U.S. District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith accepted a guilty plea on Feb. 16, the SEC announced.
McKinght faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
A federal judge in 2008 ordered McKnight's assets frozen and issued preliminary injunctions prohibiting him and his company Legisi Holdings from selling unregistered securities, according to Flint Journal files.
He was accused of orchestrating what government officials called a Ponzi scheme from December 2005 through November 2007.
The SEC alleged that McKnight raised more than $72 million through a website from more than 3,000 investors from all 50 states and at least 30 countries, promising returns up to 15 percent monthly.
He invested less than half the money he received from investors, the investments lost substantially and he used $2.2 million of investor funds on personal expenses such as vacations and home repairs, according to the complaints against him.
In 2011, McKnight was ordered to pay "disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties totaling approximately $6.5 million," according to the release from the SEC.

L'Ecole #41 Ferguson Estate Red 2013
$59.95 Regular
95 points Wine Advocate: "My favorite in the lineup was the spectacular 2012 Ferguson Reserve, a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 6% Malbec in 2012, and comes all from basalt soils in the southern part of the appellation. Aged 22 months in 50% new French oak, it offers layers of cassis, currants, lead pencil shavings, toasted bread and spice that flow to a full-bodied, multi-dimensional and concentrated 2012 that has stunning purity of fruit. Like the other two single-vineyard releases, this shows more and more structure with time in the glass, so short-term cellaring is advised. It�s another terrific wine from this team that will have 20-25 years of longevity."- Jeb Dunnuck
19.5+/20 points, Highly Recommended
Rand Sealey's Review of Washington Wines, May 2015
�Marty Clubb introduced this blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 6% each of Cabernet Franc and Malbec at a dinner celebrating the 100th Birthday of the Frenchtown Schoolhouse. It exhibits a semi opaque ruby color and an intense nose of blackberry, cherry, cassis, attar of rose, juniper berry, cigar box, violets and incense. The dark fruit flavors are wrapped around a firm, yet supple core, marked by notes of black licorice, bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee beans and basaltic minerals. The intensity continues on the back with sensations of macerated berries, roasted nuts, integrated oak, precise fruit acids and firm yet smooth tannins on the lingering finish. With real depth and complexity, this gets 19.5/20 points.� � Rand Sealey
2011 vintage: Ferguson is a blend of 57 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 percent Merlot and 11 percent Cabernet Franc. It comes from the estate Ferguson Vineyard in the Walla Walla Valley near the town of Milton-Freewater, Ore. The vineyard is named after Baker and Jean Ferguson, who founded L�Ecole No. 41 in 1983. 845 cases produced.

Questions & Answers
2004 Port State Control Conference
Q. What is Port State Control?
A. Port State Control is the enforcement by Port States of rigid control measures to ensure that foreign flag vessels entering their waters are in compliance with strict safety and anti-pollution standards established by various international marine treaties.
Q. What is the purpose of the Second Joint Ministerial Conference on Port State Control?
A. The purpose of the upcoming conference is to have a second Ministerial Declaration signed by representatives for the countries who are members of the Paris and Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) on Port State Control. This declaration will reconfirm our commitment to eliminating sub-standard shipping around the world and will serve as a framework for new global policies and programs to facilitate our elimination efforts.
Q. When was the first Port State Control Conference held and what did it accomplish?
A. The First Joint Ministerial Conference of the Paris and Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding on Port State Control was held in Vancouver on March 24 and 25, 1998. The declarations by the Ministers of the countries represented contributed to an improvement of shipping in the two MOU regions and has helped toward eliminating sub-standard ships worldwide.
Q. What do the Paris and the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding seek to accomplish?
A. Canada has signed two agreements on Port State Control, the Paris Memorandum of Understanding and the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding. These agreements established regional systems for the inspection of foreign ships. The objective of the agreements on Port State Control is to detect sub-standard shipping and minimize the threat to life, property and the marine environment that may result.
Q. How does Canada manage to participate in two MOUs when the levels of inspections carried out by them both are quite different?
A. Canada recognizes the difficulties of participating in two organizations in which the levels of service vary significantly. This was one of the compelling reasons why we convened the Conference in the first place. Any measures that serve to both harmonize and improve the inspection procedures within the two MOU regions will go a long way towards the major objective of our two organizations - to eliminate sub-standard shipping.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Phil Jackson hasn't had a powwow with Steve Kerr since January – mostly to have a philosophical discussion over breakfast – but he anticipates one fairly soon to discuss the Knicks' coaching vacancy.
In a 25-minute chinwag with an enraptured media, who left slack-jawed over the fact that someone in Knicks management can actually speak entire sentences, Jackson implied Kerr is at the top of his list.
They had a long discussion in the summer of 2013, when Kerr and Jackson were watching the possible transfer of the Sacramento franchise to Seattle, and "at that time Kerr wasn't ready to coach," said Jackson, who was to be the Seattle team's new CEO if that deal went through.
However, the old friends met again four months ago.
"He wanted to talk about styles of coaching, purely basketball, a philosophical discussion," Jackson said. "And we meet (in a) very similar space about coaching in a lot of ways. I know philosophically, we have a strong connection. Whether he's able to take a job like this, I don't know. I'll get in the conversation with him later on this month and talk to him about it, and see where he's at as far as his desire to coach, and come out in this direction."
The guy who comes to New York, however, has to meet some familiar criteria.
"New York, I think, demands a personality, a person that fans can believe in, a person who has charismatic appeal, and has a forward-looking idea about the game," Jackson said. "We are caught up in sports -- in all sports actually, not just basketball – (with) a lot of copycat things. ... we try to replicate or duplicate it (winning formulas).
"No one's quite been able to do the same thing Gregg Popovich has done in San Antonio, or what we've been able to do in various cities that I coached in. Because it takes a tremendous amount of coaching, a tremendous amount of fundamental skills. And a lot of teams our league (are) so bent on defense or a limited amount of time to teach skills, that we get caught up in replicating what other people do because that's the common denominator. I'm not looking for a coach who wants to do that."
In this particular instance, that coach has to, basically, Think Like Phil.
And Phil only runs one offense, which happened to be good enough to get him 11 rings.
"We're looking for a leader. Someone who can bring out the best in players, someone who has the capability of encouraging the staff to meet the needs that players have," he said. "That philosophically joins in. They buy into what we're doing."
In other words, it sounds like the Knicks' president has already picked out the system. The guy who has to teach it needs to have the talent and charisma to get players to follow along.
That seems to be a strange condition to place on a coaching search, because most guys don't exactly place Triangle Offense at the top of their resumes, and it would seem to eliminate some very worthy candidates.
"It's surprising how many guys are interested in it," Jackson replied. "I have had a number of conversations with coaches that are on the sidelines now that want to know a little bit more about it and have actually used some of the triangle actions, which is just basic basketball, with some of the teams they coached. So that premise I'm not buying totally."
Right. Did they say that before or after they asked what the salary might be?
Anyway, Jackson reiterated -- one more time -- that he's not the guy for the job.
"Well, Jeanie Buss was here with the Board of Governors last week and stayed through the weekend, and tried to encourage me to coach the team," he said, referring to the Lakers' boss to whom he is betrothed. "If there's anyone who can encourage me to do anything, it's Jeanie Buss. But I was able to withstand her arguments the whole time."
* * * * *
There were no revelations from Carmelo Anthony's exit interview
"I thought it went well. I thought all our players put something into it," Jackson said.
When it comes to free agency, however, sometimes it's not what you put into it, it's what you're willing to leave on the table.
"San Antonio has had a wonderful run through Tim (Duncan's) tenure there as a player. He's agreed to take a salary cut so other players can play with him so they can be this good," Jackson said. "And that's the beginning of team play. The group down in Miami agreed to take less money to play together so that's, I think, a precedent that's been set.
"Because the way things have been structured now financially for teams is that it's really hard to have one or two top stars or max players and to put together a team with enough talent you've got to have people making sacrifices financially. So we hope that Carmelo is true to his word and we understand what it's going to take and we will present that to him at that time."

Attachment Parenting Made EasierHeather Turgeon
When my son was five months old, I was on my last nerve with his sleep habits. My husband and I had clocked a combined total of 500 hours bouncing him on the yoga ball, but he'd still wake up after 30 minutes of slumber. At work, I told a friend that we were planning to do sleep training (the kind that involved crying), and she agreed it was the best call – she had done it with her baby to great success. But then she added, "In every other way, I followed the attachment-parenting model. This was an exception."
The comment bothered me. She was saying that my decision to take a firm stance on sleep and my being an "attached" parent were at odds. I didn't buy it.
But with hindsight, I realize where her comment was coming from: the concept of attachment has almost been completely co-opted by the attachment-parenting philosophy, which entails specific practices like baby-wearing and co-sleeping. As a grad student in psychology I loved attachment theory – it made intuitive, evolutionary sense. But as a mom the label attachment parenting turned me off because it seemed to be defined by distinct lifestyle choices. Even though Dr. Sears says in the first chapter of The Baby Book, "You will grow and develop your own style," that message gets lost in the translation.
The historical fact, however, is that attachment theory came first and was the culmination of decades of psychological research. And more recently, it's been bolstered by advancements in neuroscience. It has taught us a huge amount about how babies grow, and how their first relationships shape who they become. But these ideas and the attachment parenting method are not one in the same. The parenting method resonates with a lot of moms and dads (parts of it, like nursing on demand and the baby sling, resonated with me as well), but if you diverge from Dr. Sears, does it mean you're a less attached parent? Absolutely not. You just need to know the full attachment story.
The History of Attachment
"Attachment" is a developmental psychology concept coined by the psychiatrist John Bowlby in the mid-1900's. Bowlby's ideas – that children need consistent emotional and physical closeness to at least one primary caretaker – were revolutionary at the time, when prevailing wisdom told moms and dads not to "spoil" their kids with attention.
Before Bowlby, psychologists like John Watson had the ear of most parents. He believed emotional detachment was the key to raising well-adjusted kids. Watson is now famous for the "Little Albert" experiment, in which he trained an 11-month-old boy to fear white rats by simultaneously banging a steel bar with a hammer right next to the infant while exposing him to the rodents. According to Watson, instinct and biology didn't matter – children could be conditioned to do anything through rewards and punishments. In his first book on parenting, Psychological Care of Infant and Child, he stated that children should be treated like adults and that too much affection was dangerous. "Never hug and kiss them, never let them sit on your lap." His book sold 100,000 copies within a few months of its release.
The medical community, too, held the belief that minimal contact was best for kids. But it was in hospital settings that Bowlby found the evidence he needed to turn the tide and build his theory of attachment. At the time, visits to hospitalized children were strictly limited (as late as the 1960's to typically one hour per week), and babies and toddlers would go weeks and months without much contact from their parents. Bowlby documented kids crying and protesting the separation, falling into despair, and eventually becoming sad and withdrawn. When he presented his findings at medical conferences, doctors were mostly dismissive.
But eventually the evidence started to pile up, coming in from other scientific fields as well. Researchers were finding evidence of attachment systems in other species: ducklings were found to instinctively imprint and follow their parent immediately after hatching, and Harry Harlow's famous mid-1950's "wire-mother" experiments showed that baby monkeys are programmed for soft, cuddly touch. Cooing, smiling, crying, clinging, following – all were understood to be a baby's innate ways of keeping parents close.
As the tide turned and attachment theory grew, popular parenting philosophies shifted. Dr. Spock gave the shocking news that parents should toss out rigid schedules, saying, "Trust yourself" and "There is no such thing as too much love." Parents listened.
Enter the Attachment Parenting Philosophy
So when Dr. Sears coined the term "attachment parenting" in the 1980's, it wasn't a revelation, it was a new presentation of ideas that had been around for decades. The idea that babies thrive on cuddles, responsiveness, and a caregiver they trust was something doctors and researchers before them had been saying for a long time.
What is it, then, about the philosophy that causes so much tension? For one, attachment parenting has the reputation of having a gold standard – involving around-the-clock baby-wearing, nursing on demand, and co-sleeping – all of which make many moms feel like they can never do enough. But there is nothing in the research that says any of these individual practices make or break your relationship with your child. Attachment theory (and our good old-fashioned parenting instincts) says to touch, to respond, and to be consistent. But how you do that – share sleep, tickle and roughhouse, holds hands, read books – can be as individual as each parent's relationship with their child. It's not as important how we make contact with our children as it is whether we make contact.
Recent neuroscience is teaching us even more. For example, Dr. Allan Schore of UCLA, one of the leading researchers in the field, has shown how a young child's right brain (housing the emotional centers) is affected by interactions with mom and dad. A responsive, soothing parent literally helps build the child's emotion-regulation centers (later key to our kids learning empathy and building relationships).
But Schore also explains that attachment is a two-way street, and babies are exquisitely tuned in to their parents' emotions as well. To me, this means that mom and dad's self care is really important, because our little ones are always picking up on our feelings. Of course we give our newborns 24/7 attention (while we forget to eat or take a shower), but as the months and years go on, tending to our own happiness doesn't necessarily detract from healthy attachment, it might actually be integral to it.
In fact, one of the cornerstones of attachment theory is that the parent is a "secure base" – a concept developed by Mary Ainsworth in the 1970's. Mom or dad is the stable, consistent, available source of comfort that the child will check in with, and then he or she will get busy exploring the world. Seen from this vantage, sleep training my son actually helped my attachment to him because I ultimately had more energy and attention to offer.
Julie Wright, MFT, who runs popular mommy-and-me classes in Los Angeles, says that a lot of moms in her groups struggle with the idea that attachment means having to constantly be "on" with their babies: "I hear a collective sigh of relief when I talk about giving yourself and your baby some space."
But not only is space okay, Wright believes it's actually fundamental to the baby's development. "You know those adults who can't stand to be alone?" she jokes. "I believe it starts early. We want our babies to develop the capacity to self-regulate."
She has started to use the word "attuned" instead of "attached," precisely because a lot of moms associate "attached" with constant interaction. "If your baby is cooing and playing with her feet in her crib, then maybe scooping her up isn't what the moment calls for. What she's telling you is that she's happily exploring on her own."
It's unfortunate that attachment has become synonymous with one particular parenting philosophy, because the concept doesn't belong to the followers of Dr. Sears alone nor does it need to imply a particular set of lifestyle choices or parenting practices. Our kids' happiness does not hinge on any one "technique" in our parenting repertoire. Strong relationships are built in the subtle interactions and moments we have together – the eye contact, the giggles, the soothing touches. That's how we get to know our kids and see their little budding personalities grow.

Stepping into Philadelphia's school-funding crisis, the Rev. Al Sharpton delivered a fiery address Saturday linking public education to the civil rights movement and promising a return to the city to "take the veil off."
The problem, he said in his keynote speech at the "Higher Education Awareness, Dropout Prevention, and Health Initiative" conference, is "a direct effort to eliminate public education." He then seized upon a theme often trumpeted by city education activists:
"You got money, [Gov.] Corbett, for jails, but no money for schools. And you ask what's wrong with the kids? I come to ask, 'What's wrong with you?' " he said. "Bible says that you reap what you sow. Well, if you invest in jails and cut the budget on schools, you're investing in incarceration rather than education."

The Hyundai Genesis and Equus sedans are touted as high luxury on a low budget, but that isn't stopping those with mounds of disposable incoming from buying them. According to an announcement made by the automaker today, 6 percent of holders who own the exclusive Ameican Express "Black Card" Centurion Card are also owners of Hyundais.
For those unfamiliar with the Black Card, the average holder owns $16.3 million in assets and takes home an annual average income of $1.3 million. The card has only been around for over a decade but is often the topic of rumors and speculation surrounding the long list of privileges only known to its owners.
Hyundai U.S. Chief John Krafcik shared the info last week, and even he was surprised: "I know you all can't believe this," he said during a presentation about the 2012 Hyundai Genesis at the automaker's engineering and research center in Superior Township, Michigan. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the percentage of Black Card holders who own a Hyundai is now tied with Bentley and Audi. Other cars on the list from starting with the highest brand include: BMW at 22 percent; Mercedes at 21 percent; Porsche at 15 percent; Lexus at 11 percent; Ferrari at 8 percent; and Acura at 7 percent.
Not that Hyundai needed any good news, but this latest surprise should be a welcomed image (and sales) boost for the Genesis and Equus luxury sedans. And the automaker has announced a few updates and model releases that should bring more Black Card holders to the showroom. The Genesis sedan, for example, is expected to get an all-wheel drive option, while the coupe is slated for a major refresh in the near future. Additionally, there are plans for a luxury crossover, as well as a small, rear-wheel drive sedan aimed at the BMW 3-Series.

Here's a rare old advertising soap bar ... Coaline Toilet Soap. I can't read the company name on the wrapper, although it was made in New York. There's a wonderful image of a locomotive train with cars along with people watching the train. On the back it shows the image of a train car with the name Coaline on it. It also says "for flannels and fine fabrics it is unrivaled." Another part of the wrapper says "for the laundry toilet and bath. will wash in hard and salt water." This is a fairly rare laundry soap bar that is not seen very often, if at all! If you collect advertising soap bars or items with train images on it, this is a nice one for that collection!

Peter Diana, Post-Gazette
Sabres goalie Ryan Miller makes save on Erik Christensen in the second period -- one of his 22 saves.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Defenseman Ryan Whitney was one of the first players on the ice for the Penguins' morning skate yesterday and one of the last players off.
"I just toughed it out," Whitney said afterward.
Still, he was held out of home game last night against Buffalo because of a groin injury.
"It's more of a precaution," coach Michel Therrien said. "If it would have been a playoff game, he probably would have been there, but we're a week away from the playoffs and we don't want to take any chances."
Whitney said he was disappointed because he was one of three players who had appeared in each of the team's first 79 games and wanted to play in all 82, but he understood the reasoning.
"We've already clinched [a playoff spot], and what if I reinjured it?" Whitney said. "It's just smarter.
"Hopefully, I'll be ready for [tomorrow at Ottawa]."
Partnership renewed
For Mark Eaton, September seems like eons ago. That's when it was training camp and the first-year Penguins defenseman was settling in nicely alongside Sergei Gonchar.
"It was a long time ago," Eaton said. "At the beginning of the year, I thought we played well together. I hope we can re-establish that."
Eaton, who missed large chunks of the season because of wrist and knee injuries, was reunited with Gonchar at the morning skate.
"He was supposed to play against the top players. That was part of our plan," Therrien said. "You always take a step back when you're coming off of a long injury. Now, a week from the playoffs, we need to know if his confidence is there and if he's capable of handling the speed and all that type of stuff. We want to give him that challenge."
If anything holds Eaton back, it won't be the injuries.
"Physically, I feel 100 percent, so I just need to go out there and keep improving every game and try to get ready for the playoffs," he said. "These three games will be a good precursor for that."
More juggling
Therrien also shuffled three of his four forward lines at the morning skate.
Leading scorer Sidney Crosby skated between Evgeni Malkin and Colby Armstrong. Maxime Talbot centered for Gary Roberts and Michel Ouellet. And Erik Christensen was with wingers Jarkko Ruutu and Georges Laraque.
Rookie Jordan Staal remained with wingers Mark Recchi and Ryan Malone, a unit used in the previous game.
"You'll see different combinations, just to make sure when we start [in the playoffs] next week, we have all our answers to questions about line combinations, where we should put players," Therrien said.
The hunt continues
Gonchar, whose skate fell apart during a game at New Jersey March 14, still is trying to find a model that suits him before the end of the regular season.
"I'm getting there, getting close to figuring out which one I'm going to wear for the start of the playoffs," he said. "I still have another pair to go."
Big sellers
The NHL reported that sales of its licensed products on Shop.NHL.com for March were up 51 percent from March 2006, with the Penguins and Buffalo accounting for much of the increase.
Sales of Sabres merchandise increased 657 percent over March 2006. The Penguins were next with a 205 percent increase.
Crosby had the top-selling jersey. Buffalo's Ryan Miller (second), Daniel Briere (third), Maxim Afinogenov (fourth), Chris Drury (sixth), Jason Pominville (seventh) and Tomas Vanek (10th) also were in the top 10.
Slap shots
With Whitney missing the game last night , the only two Penguins who have played every game are the two oldest players among those who have been on the roster all season -- Recchi, 39, and Gonchar, who turns 33 Friday. ... Buffalo has a chance to finish with the most points in the league, but coach Lindy Ruff isn't watching that race. "We don't even talk about the Presidents' Trophy," Ruff said. "I spend a lot of time talking about home-ice advantage in the Eastern Conference, and I think that's important." ... Therrien on the New Jersey Devils firing coach Claude Julien with a week left in the season: "It's a big surprise in the hockey world. I don't know all the insight and what might have happened, but everyone is surprised." ... The concrete facade outside Mellon Arena, the old St. Francis Hospital across the street and the block of Centre Avenue outside the arena have been decked out with Stanley Cup banners. ... Mario Lemieux Foundation T-shirts are available for sale at www.mariolemieux.org and at PenStation in Mellon Arena. Sales benefit cancer and neonatal research.

Tuesday night on MSNBC, Chris Matthews, upon hearing Pat Buchanan speak about Sarah Palin, called it "an erogenous moment".
Let us go then, you and I,
When the Twin Cities are spread out against the sky
Like mooses poleaxed on the tundra.
Let us go, through the New Hampshire delegation
and others, a whole nation,
Of crazy dames in very sparkly hats
Ladies who follow like a boring Thompson speech
Of phlegm-flecked content
To lead us to our underwhelming question.
Oh, don't answer "Where's Georgia?"
Until the rabid media force ya.
In the hall the women came and went
Talking of happy "accident"
And would it have been worth it, after all,
After the seal, the mooseburgers, the beer,
Among the taxidermy, among some talk of you and me,
Would it have been worth while
To have told your hubby I'm the one for you
To have stuffed him in some fireplace flue
To take your hair down, your specs off,
To say, "You're such a right-wing little vixen,
Do you want to hear my stories about Nixon?"
If you congenially snuggled up to me
Should I say "That's exactly what I meant
You absolutely energize my base."
I grow old … I grow old..
I shall wear the tassels of my Weejuns rolled
Shall I get some Restylane? Do I dare to lift my brows?
I shall wear Sansabelts and walk convention floors.
I have heard the grass roots singing, house to house.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
I have seen you riding in a motorcade
Your hair blown back, your offspring clinging.
I have heard Rush Limbaugh ch-chinging.
We have lingered in St. Paul, no Bering Sea
While Couric, Blitzer, Olbermann drone on
Till Matthews' voice awakes us, and we drown.

Robbinsville junior pole vaulter Craig Hunter wanted to make something very clear after winning the state pole vault championship at the 44th NJSIAA Meet of Champions on Monday in
He's happy with the result.
• Photo gallery from M of C in Old Bridge
"It's a huge deal to come out here and use what I love to do something good for the school," Hunter said. "I was more than excited with the day."
Hunter entered the day with a personal best mark of 15-6 ½, but only a 15-0 was needed to clinch Robbinsville's first outdoor M of C title, as winds hindered the competitors.
"I knew today would be a 15-foot day no matter what," Hunter said. "The wind was varying. One jump I'd have zero wind, the next jump I'd have five-to-10 mile an hour headwind. It was all about the timing."
Hunter said his jumping technique is still a work in progress. But, he said, his strength is power and speed, and he was fortunate to be able to fall back on those assets and push through the wind, while others struggled.
"I could tell that a bunch of people that should be clearing got out early," Hunter said.
Skylar Johnson of Point Pleasant Boro, who Hunter counts as one of his good friends, was second with 14-6.
"We practice with each other, we go to the same clubs, we go to the same meets," Hunter said. "We're friends. We always compete, but we're friendly."
Hunter said he attributes his status as Robbinsville's first outdoor state champion more to the fact the
"We're a very young school," Hunter said. "We're just starting to get our program off the ground.
"I'm certainly not going to be the last."


text: Well as far as I understand it, the fatty tisues are the ones containing the largest amounts of omegas, which in the case of conventional meat could throw off your ratios. I personally don't worry about it TOO much even though I eat conventional meat, since a) I like it, and b) I don't eat a lot of other fat sources, and i believe inferior fat + fish oil beats low fat intake. However since you don't even like the fat, I'd go ahead and drop it if you can get your fat from other (better) sources. In the case of conventional chicken, I would even recommend tossing the skin due to huge amounts of omega 6.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission will consider a ban on selling and possessing nanday conures at its upcoming meeting, begining Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008 continuing through Jan. 29. The proposal amends the state code to "prohibit the importation, possession, sale and release" of the nanday conure "in response to human health/safety and wildlife habitat," according to the commission's Jan. 29 agenda.
The state already makes it illegal to sell or own a quaker parrot. However, quaker parrots, which like the nanday conure are native to South America, are banned in several states due to their innate ability to adapt to nearly any climate and their propensity for building large nests on power lines. Nanday conures, however, are not typically the target of such legislation and don't build nests on power lines.
The American Federation of Aviculture (AFA), which represents pet bird breeders, issued an alert on the pending legislation to its members, urging those in Pennsylvania to attend the commission's meeting to speak against the proposal.
"Nandays already in PA would also become illegal and subject to confiscation and euthanasia as pests if this proposal becomes law," Genny Wall, the AFA's legislative vice president wrote in the alert.
The commission's website states that it will begin taking public comments on other issues beginning Monday, Jan. 28. The doors open at 7:45 a.m., as does registration for comments. The commission will continue its agenda the following day, Jan. 29. For more information or to submit written comments, the agency can be contacted at 717-787-4250 or here.

Selzer's "day gig" revolves around his partnership in Type Foundry Recording studios, the small, well-regarded North Portland music emporium responsible for albums from artists ranging from Spoon and M. Ward (in whose backing band Selzer serves) to the Decemberists (Selzer's bandmate, Rachel Blumberg, was once the drummer) and Thao With the Get Down Stay Down. All have tapped into Selzer's talent to breathe new life into their music.
Selzer also has spent the past decade helming his own band, Norfolk & Western, whose trademark sound is a sepia-toned Americana that toggles between simplicity and intelligence, often pulling off the mean feat -- in a manner similar to the Band -- of embodying both characteristics simultaneously.
On Norfolk & Western's sixth full-length album, "Dinero Severo" (loose Spanish translation: "Severe Money"), Selzer sticks to what he does best: straightforward piano-based melodies spiked with guitar skronk. The tunes sometimes take the shape of a Dream Syndicate-like talking blues ("Whippoorwill Song"). Others are oddities whose melody and structure resembles radio-ready power-pop ("So That's How It Is," "This Is a Number 5"). It's a nifty trick, one that highlights the band's overflowing surplus of craft and Selzer's many gifts as bandleader, writer/arranger, and, of course, there's those golden ears.

THERE'S LITTLE doubt that President Obama's "red line" - the use of chemical weapons - has been crossed in Syria's bloody, two-year civil war, but what comes next is less certain.
Last week, the aid group Doctors Without Borders announced that more than 3,600 patients displaying neurotoxic symptoms had been seen at Damascus-area hospitals within hours, and that more than 350 had died. The Syrian government called the allegations "absolutely baseless."
The apparent attack by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces brought forceful rhetoric from Secretary of State John Kerry and has Obama mulling a limited military strike.
Experts say the administration faces a difficult few weeks, during which doing nothing can be just as dangerous as getting involved.

My God, woman, you really need to wash those tit pits.

Can you define these popular missing words?
The underside of large tits. Functioning much like an armpit, the meeting of two layers of skin forms a crevice or pit, capable of accumulating sweat. Fortunately, tit pits are generally not hairy.
This double D bra is cotton lined, to wick away sweat from your tit pits.
