Seniors fill Doyle Convention Center for annual Holiday Gala
More than 700 seniors from across the county gathered Friday for festive music, a traditional holiday meal and gift giveaway at the 8th annual SeniorShare Holiday Gala.
More than 700 seniors from across the county gathered Friday for festive music, a traditional holiday meal and gift giveaway at the 8th annual SeniorShare Holiday Gala.
Behind a big first quarter and a balanced attack, the Clear Falls Knights made easy work of the Dickinson Lady Gators in their District 24-6A opener by the final score of 70-30, Friday at Dickinson High School.
An informational publication by the Texas Department of State Health Service contains too many disputed facts.
There were no fishing reports for Friday, and with the slack in the action, it gives us an opportunity to address a frequent question from readers, and that is how to plan a fishing trip for the best chances of catching fish.
The weather service was on target with their forecast for Thursday, as northerly winds gusting to gale-force strength blew throughout the day.
Light winds dominated the fishing scene early Wednesday, and some nice-sized flounder were caught.
The rain finally stopped and the wind velocities dropped to more tolerable levels on Tuesday.
Anglers fishing the Galveston Bay Complex as long as I have can recall how difficult it was to get current information about conditions before heading to the water.
Fishing was non-existent around the Galveston area Sunday, as moderate northerly winds and rain prevailed all day. Tuesday and Wednesday look the best for fishing this week, as the rain is forecast to be out of here and light winds taking over.
Needless to say, Saturday was a blowout with winds up to 40 miles per hour blowing across the Galveston Bay Complex. With Sunday looking close to the same weather-wise, anglers are just out of luck as far as fishing goes.
This weekend looks to be both a wash out and a blow out for fishing.
While December offers some great fishing, it is a month that cold weather begins to set in and usually winds down fishing for most anglers.
Here we are at the beginning of the month of December, and anglers are asking where the time went. One interesting fact about December is that it has been the month when our worst freezes have occurred over the past 35 years.
Tuesday morning, Dr. Bob Rose joined Polly and me for a trip to where the hot action on flounder has been taking place recently, that being along the Galveston Ship Channel and the Bolivar Barge Graveyard.
Monday was literally a blowout for fishing, as gale warnings were posted and wind velocities roared between 20 and 30 knots all day.
The Thanksgiving weekend saw some nice catches being made from all around the Galveston Bay Complex.
Anglers choosing to avoid the malls and go fishing on Black Friday made a good decision for the most part. Conditions were excellent and the fish were biting.
Lots of flounder are being caught all around the Galveston area. The annual flounder run is on and likely will be reaching its peak within the next two weeks.
An approaching cold front likely will hold off, not arriving until after Sunday, so conditions should be on the fishermen's side this weekend.
Thanksgiving Day has evolved into my favorite holiday, as it is a time when our fall fishing tends to be close to its peak and the bounties of the sea are plentiful.
Monday afternoon, the action turned on in several areas as an outgoing tide generated a feeding frenzy.
Monday was a great start to Thanksgiving week, and the few anglers taking the day off to go fishing made some nice catches.
Thanksgiving holiday visitors are asking how the fishing will be over the long holiday weekend and what is likely to be biting.
Around 5 p.m. Friday, conditions started changing on the fishing scene, and I mean changing.
A common question among flounder fishermen is why the smaller fish make the run first.
This weekend boaters need to be aware of the potentially dangerous conditions that frontal systems like the approaching one can cause.
Excellent fishing has been taking place over the past couple of days by anglers fishing at odd times of day.
Night fishing under the full moon has been outstanding for anglers who are able to fish around lighted areas or generate their own light.
The full moon bite is on, and typically, for this situation, the action is coming later in the day.
It has been 69 years since a full moon has been this close to Earth. On Monday, its presence will have an impact on fishing.
While typical of weekend days, most reports tend to come in late in the day; however, those from early birds indicated some excellent fishing Saturday morning.
Friday, wind velocities started dropping and that gave hope to weekend anglers that conditions will be favorable for hitting the water. Areas protected from the wind were the keys to finding fish on Veterans Day.
Northerly winds are forecast to be with us most of the weekend; however, the velocities are dropping and that will allow anglers to fish more areas.
Anglers wanting to hit the water over the next few days likely will need to look for protected areas to fish.
Hopefully there will be some benefit from the cooler weather setting in, as anglers are waiting for some true fall fishing to take place.
Much press has been devoted to the flounder run lately, and while we can only wait for colder water to get the migration in full swing; however, trout action seems to be lacking.
Sunday saw most of the action shift from the coastal waters to the back bays and marshes.
Saturday was a great day on the water and some nice catches were made.
There was not much taking place on the fishing scene around Galveston on Friday.
We mention the weather and weather forecast often in the Reel Report, and for good reason. Wind and temperatures are two of the most influential factors on fishing.
The surf was alive with action Wednesday morning for the few anglers able to participate in it. A light southeast wind had the water in excellent shape and the fish cooperated.
While we continue to deal with summer-like weather around Galveston, any day now we are going to see flounder stacking up around the passes into the Gulf of Mexico.
November is starting out like October with unseasonably warm temperatures. The folks at the weather service are not offering any encouragement to flounder anglers or others desiring cooler weather to start some serious fall fishing.
Sunday afternoon, riptide and high tide warnings were issued for the Galveston area coastal waters. East winds were creating the conditions that were favorable for their development.
We often mention the warmer than normal water around the Galveston Bay Complex and the effects on fishing.
Easterly winds have returned and that usually is not a good direction for fishing. Higher than normal tide levels are associated with moderate to strong levels of the ill-wind.
Last Wednesday while observing the beautiful conditions in the surf, it hit me that the water looked ripe for tarpon; however, being this late in October, I predicted that the silver kings had likely moved on.
Beautiful autumn weather has settled in around the Galveston area; however, the temperatures continue to be warm for this time of year.
Warm weather is returning and, while not nearly as hot as before the cold front, it still is unseasonably warm.
It appears that we are in the middle of a more typical croaker run, as anglers are reporting large catches of huge golden croaker, with one report of a 4-pounder being taken.
Sunday, the bite was on. Reports from all around the Galveston area indicated excellent fishing for most species.
Late reports that trickled in from Friday and Saturday indicate that the cold front has triggered a flounder movement.
It appears that conditions will start settling and by Sunday we should see some good catches from around the jetties.
Thursday, gusty winds associated with thunderstorms kept most anglers off the water, and with the lack of fishing reports, this presents an opportunity to discuss an issue that is affecting a lot of boaters who fish the Galveston Channel area and points nearby.
This week, a record high temperature was set in Galveston, and according to Stan Blazyk's blog, it not only was a high for the day, but a record for this time of year. Well, that was not good news for anglers waiting for the flounder migration.
Last weekend our summertime fishing patterns continued with some excellent offshore action taking place and good catches inshore.
Beautiful summer-like weather continued to prevail over the Galveston area and, while all were enjoying it, many anglers were looking ahead to cooler weather.
The weather forecast for this week indicates that we may be finished with the summer conditions as a genuine cold front is headed our way. By the latter part of the week, we should be seeing temperatures ranging from the low 60s to mid-70s.
A longtime fisherman John Sabo passed on one of his secrets to determining when to hit the water for flounder.
Traditionally the croaker run, a time when large croaker migrate to the Gulf of Mexico, takes place anywhere from mid-October to early November.
Flounder should be appearing in good numbers; however, so far this month, such appearances have not been taking place in traditional locations.
Wednesday morning was just outstanding for hitting the water and catching some fish. Light southeasterly winds were clearing up the water and anglers fishing the surf and jetties found reds everywhere.
Tuesday's weather was quite a contrast to Monday's beautiful conditions. Winds gusting to well over 20 knots pretty well shut down fishing, with few anglers affected because of most having returned to work from Monday's holiday.

Diesel Stone, played by David Arquette, was a character seen on Beverly Hills, 90210, the first series of the Beverly Hills, 90210 continuity, appearing in the episode Wild Horses.
Diesel was the ex-boyfriend of Nikki Witt. He was in a rock band called Diesel Stone and the Waste Management and came back into contact with Nikki while she was attending a performance with boyfriend Brandon Walsh of David Silver, who blew his performance much to Diesel's amusement.
Diesel was abusive to Nikki in the past and the reason for her leaving San Francisco. When Diesel began to weasel his way back into Nikki's life, Brandon felt like he was losing Nikki to her past. However, when Diesel's old habit of taking out his aggression on Nikki returned, Brandon stepped in and knocked Diesel out with one punch. Nikki later returned home since Diesel was then out of her life.

Healthy Wyoming: Start with Youth Today. Results of the 1991 Wyoming Youth Risk Behavior and School Health Education Survey.
Utah Univ., Salt Lake City. Health Behavior Lab.; Wyoming State Dept. of Education, Cheyenne.
This report presents results of the 1991 Wyoming Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) and the 1991 Wyoming School Health Education Survey (SHES). Thirty-five schools participated in the YRBS, with 3,513 students in grades 9-12; 92 public schools with students in grades 7-12 participated in the SHES. Statistical data from the YRBS are provided in the following areas: (1) intentional and unintentional injuries (seat belt use, motorcycle and bicycle safety, motor vehicle safety, carrying of weapons, physical fighting, and suicide); (2) tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; (3) sexual behaviors that result in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unintended pregnancy; (4) dietary excesses and imbalances; and (5) physical inactivity. SHES data are provided on the topics of provision of HIV prevention education, training received by staff members that provide HIV prevention education, percentage of schools teaching HIV functional knowledge topics and skills by specific grade level, and barriers to implementing effective comprehensive health education and HIV prevention. The report concludes that Wyoming youth engage in behaviors that put them at risk for significant mortality, morbidity, disability, and social problems extending from youth to adulthood, and that effective school-based health education programs are needed to replace these behaviors with healthy behaviors.

Alien Skin Snap Art 18.104.22.1682 (x86/x64) Final | 63 MB
Snap Art turns your photograph into a beautiful work of art that looks completely handmade. Improved realism in version 3 keeps your subject natural and recognizable. The result is a finished piece worthy of printing on canvas and hanging in a gallery.
Using Snap Art just requires a creative idea, not hand-eye coordination or technical training. Simply choose from hundreds of styles such as oil paint, watercolor, pencil sketch, or the new crayon. If you need more control, the new detail mask let's you quickly mark areas where you want the subject to be clearer.
Snap Art 4 turns photos into art that looks completely natural and handmade. - To use Snap Art, you will need to have one of the Adobe products Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or Lightroom. See the requirements for details and watch our videos to see how Snap Art works in these programs as a plug-in.
Lightroom Support - Snap Art 4 has tight Lightroom integration that supports batch processing and does not require Photoshop.
NEW! Improved Realism - Version 4 uses more refined stroke placement to keep edges sharp and reproduce natural texture. This keeps the subject natural and recognizable. If you used Snap Art in the past then you will notice dramatically clearer results, especially on portraits.
NEW! Detail Mask - Instead of oval focus regions, Snap Art 4 now has a detail mask. This lets you quickly mark exactly where you want more detail. This is great for leaving backgrounds abstract while faces are detailed and natural.
Wide Range of Media and Styles - Snap Art can draw with a wide range of physical media, such as oil paint, watercolor, pencil, and charcoal. Within those, you can choose from a plethora of styles like impasto, pointillism, or modern art techniques like comics and stylize.
NEW! Crayon and Improved Presets - We added multiple crayon presets for that messy colorful look. All the presets for existing media types were remade and reorganized to be easier to use.
NEW! Everything in One Place - Snap Art went from ten filters to just one. Now you can explore all of the media types and styles in one place without switching filters. The entire user interface is redesigned for easier exploration. The presets are always visible on the left, there is a huge preview in the center, and you experiment with your style on the right.
NEW! Hidden Complexity - There are now presets that control groups of related sliders. This lets you quickly experiment with one aspect of the art, such as color scheme, without having to manipulate four different sliders. We also hid the more esoteric sliders by default so you can focus on just the most important controls.
Non-Destructive Editing - Snap Art supports a non-destructive workflow, making experimentation easy. Effects in Photoshop are rendered on a new layer, leaving your original image untouched. In Photoshop, Snap Art can be run as a Smart Filter for easy tweaking of the effect after it is created.
System Requirements:
•OS: Windows XP SP3 or newer
•Processor: Pentium 4 processor or compatible
•Monitor: 1024x768 resolution or greater
Host Requirements:
Snap Art 4 is a plug-in and requires one of the following host applications:
•Adobe Photoshop CS4 or newer
•Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 or newer
•Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 or newer

In the United States Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit
June 27, 2008
LAURA PHELAN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.VILLAGE OF LYONS AND DAMIEN DYAS, DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. No. 04 C 8327-George M. Marovich, Judge.
Before POSNER, ROVNER, and WOOD,Circuit Judges.
As she was driving through the Village of Lyons en route to the North Riverside Mall, Laura Phelan was pulled over and arrested. Officer Damien Dyas executed the traffic stop based on his belief that Phelan*fn1 was driving a stolen vehicle. His belief turned out to be mistaken, and Phelan was released shortly thereafter. She sued the Village of Lyons and Officer Dyas under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of her rights under the Fourth Amendment. On the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court granted Officer Dyas's motion for summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds. Phelan appeals, and for the reasons explained in this opinion, we reverse the grant of summary judgment to Officer Dyas and remand for further proceedings.
Shortly after 5:30 p.m. on October 14, 2004, Village of Lyons police officer Damien Dyas was nearing the end of his 12-hour shift. He decided to run a random license check on the white Cadillac sedan driving in front of him. Laura Phelan was driving the car, which bore the license plate number 1020. After entering the plate number into a computer in his squad car, Officer Dyas received what is referred to as a LEADS report on the computer screen in his car.
The first screen of the LEADS report contained, among other things, the date and time of Officer Dyas's query, the status of the vehicle registered to the plate in question (either "valid," "stolen," or "suspended"), and a description of a vehicle. As relevant here, the second line relayed that the vehicle registered to plate 1020 was "stolen."
The third line contained the description for the "stolen" vehicle: a black 2002 Honda motorcycle (relayed on the LEADS screen in acronyms as "DOT/081504 VCO/BLK VYR/02 VMA/HD VMO/CYL VST/MC"). Unfortunately, Officer Dyas did not see this description of the stolen vehicle. Instead, he read only as far as the second line stating that plate 1020 belonged to a stolen vehicle. He thus had no occasion to confront the obvious discrepancy between the vehicle description (black Honda motorcycle) and the vehicle in front of him (white Cadillac). As the parties explained at oral argument, this discrepancy arose on account of the confusing Illinois licensing system for automobiles and motorcycles: the license plates for both vehicles may have the same number, and are distinguishable by virtue of the fact that motorcycle plates are smaller in size than car plates , a fact any trained law enforcement officer would know.*fn2
After reading lines one and two of the LEADS report, Officer Dyas contacted the dispatcher and reported that he was following a possible stolen motor vehicle. In response to Officer Dyas's query, the dispatcher confirmed that license plate 1020 belonged to a stolen vehicle, and Officer Dyas's location was relayed to assisting officers who arrived at the scene shortly. In the interim, Officer Dyas*fn3 continued to follow Phelan's Cadillac until she stopped at a railroad crossing. At that point Officer Dyas and the arriving back-up officers conducted a "felony-traffic stop." After activating his emergency lights and signaling Phelan to pull over, Officer Dyas instructed Phelan to turn off her vehicle and throw her car keys out of the window. She was then told to exit her vehicle and walk backwards until officers were able to place her in handcuffs and secure her in the squad car. After Officer Dyas searched Phelan's car, he learned through dispatch the information that the third line of the LEADS report had disclosed: that the stolen vehicle was in fact a black Honda motorcycle. He then allowed Phelan to exit the squad car, removed the hand-cuffs, and released her.
As relevant here, Phelan sued Officer Dyas in his individual capacity, alleging that the stop violated her Fourth Amendment Rights. The district court granted Officer Dyas's motion for summary judgment after concluding that he was entitled to qualified immunity for the stop because he had a reasonable basis to believe that Phelan was driving a stolen vehicle.
On appeal, Phelan maintains that Officer Dyas was not entitled to qualified immunity for the felony traffic stop.
We review the district court's decision de novo, asking whether, viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Phelan, Officer Dyas is nonetheless entitled to qualified immunity as a matter of law. Boyd v. Owen, 481 F.3d 520, 522 (7th Cir. 2007). Qualified immunity protects public officials in those situations where the law is not sufficiently clear for a reasonable official to have known that his actions were illegal. See Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194, 202 (2001); Holmes v. Village of Hoffman Estate, 511 F.3d 673, 687 (7th Cir. 2007). Saucier lays out a two-part test for qualified immunity. First, we consider whether, taken in the light most favorable to Phelan, the facts alleged amount to a constitutional violation. Saucier, 533 U.S. at 201; Boyd, 481 F.3d at 524 (reiterating Saucier's command to first determine whether plaintiff has alleged a constitutional violation). Second, we ask whether the right was clearly established at the time of the alleged violation. Saucier, 533 U.S. at 201; Boyd, 481 F.3d at 526. The "rigid" order of the Saucier test has been repeatedly criticized, see, e.g., Scott v. Harris, 127 S.Ct. 1769, 1780-81 (2007) (Breyer, J., concurring), and the Supreme Court recently granted certiorari to consider whether Saucier should be overruled. Pearson v. Callahan, 128 S.Ct. 1702 (Mar. 24, 2008) (directing parties to brief and argue "Whether the Court's decision in Saucier v. Katz, 533 U.S. 194 (2001) should be overruled?"). Meanwhile, we adhere to Saucier's sequential approach.
As for the first prong, we conclude that the facts as alleged by Phelan establish a constitutional violation by Officer Dyas. A traffic stop and accompanying detention constitute a seizure under the Fourth Amendment, which protects "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Thus, an automobile stop violates the Constitution if it is "unreasonable" under the circumstances. See Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806, 809-10 (1996). A stop is reasonable if the officer has "probable cause to believe that a traffic violation has occurred." Id. at 810. The question here then is whether the LEADS report gave Officer Dyas such probable cause.
Under the circumstances, it did not. Although the first two lines of the LEADS report standing alone might have provided a basis for the stop, we cannot ignore the information contained in the third line, which appeared on the initial screen returned in response to Officer Dyas's query. In that line, the stolen vehicle is described as a black Honda motorcycle. If Officer Dyas had read this line, he would have realized, at the very least, that further investigation was warranted before initiating a felony traffic stop. Indeed, if Officer Dyas had read the third line of the LEADS printout and nonetheless concluded further investigation or a brief investigatory stop was warranted on the basis of the confusing Illinois license plate system, we might have a different case. Cf. United States v. Cashman, 216 F.3d 582, 587 (7th Cir. 2000) ("[T]he Fourth Amendment requires only a reasonable assessment of the facts, not a perfectly accurate one."). Here though, Phelan has established that there was in fact no basis for her detention, and Officer Dyas has responded with an admission that he failed to read the information in front of him that would have alerted him to that fact. Because Phelan's Cadillac was not in fact stolen, and Officer Dyas would have known that had he read line three of the LEADS report he requested, there was no probable cause and the felony traffic stop was unreasonable under the circumstances. See Jones v. Wilhelm, 425 F.3d 455, 461 (7th Cir. 2005) ("In determining whether a defendant's alleged actions violated a clearly established right, courts may properly take into account any information the defendant ought reasonably to have obtained.").
Having concluded that Officer Dyas's decision to stop Phelan and handcuff her violated her Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizures, we next consider whether that right was clearly established at the time of the stop. See, e.g., Saucier, 533 U.S. at 200; Jewett v. Anders, 521 F.3d 818, 823 (7th Cir. 2008). Undoubtedly the Fourth Amendment's general proscription against unreasonable seizures was clearly established at the time Officer Dyas stopped Phelan. Our inquiry, however, is whether the application of that right to this particular set of circumstances is clear enough that a "'reasonable official would understand that what he is doing violates that right.'" Saucier, 533 U.S. at 202 (quoting Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 640 (1987)).
Instead of focusing on the contours of the right to be free from unreasonable seizures itself, Officer Dyas argues that his behavior under the circumstances was reasonable. Phelan construes this argument as an attempt by Officer Dyas to append a "third prong" to the qualified immunity inquiry: namely, whether the officer's actions were reasonable even if they violated clearly established law. As Phelan points out, we rejected this precise line of argument in Jones. Jones dealt with an officer who mistakenly entered the wrong apartment when executing a search warrant. Jones, 425 F.3d at 459-60. The officer in Jones urged the panel to assess whether his actions were reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding any violation of clearly established law. Id. at 460. Alternatively, he suggested that in making the inquiry into whether it would have been clear to a reasonable officer that his actions violated the constitution, the court impute to the hypothetical reasonable officer only the information the defendant had at the time, "and not the knowledge he ought reasonably to have amassed during the execution of the warrant." Id. at 461. We rejected both arguments, noting that, "[i]t goes without saying that the reasonableness of an official's actions is not a factor in determining whether the facts as alleged constitute a violation of constitutional rights." Id.
That said, Officer Dyas correctly notes that we may still take into account an officer's reasonable, but mis-taken beliefs as to the facts establishing the existence of probable cause. See Saucier, 533 U.S. at 206. Officer Dyas essentially argues that based on the information he received, it was reasonable for him to mistakenly believe that Phelan's automobile was the stolen vehicle described in the LEADS report and thus that he had probable cause for the stop. But we have already concluded that Officer Dyas's mistake was not a reasonable one. The third line of the LEADS report appeared on the same screen as the second line. Officer Dyas need not have expended more than an additional instant of attention to see the vehicle description on line three. Given the circumstances under which he was following Phelan, that additional instant would not have been hard to come by.
The justifications Officer Dyas advances for failing to read line three of the LEADS report do not change our assessment. First, he suggests that because he was pursuing a possible stolen vehicle, he had neither the luxury nor the time of an officer sitting at a desk perusing a computer screen or informational printout. Although Officer Dyas was in the field following Phelan's car, it was hardly a hot pursuit situation. Officer Dyas's decision to run Phelan's plates was not prompted by any suspicious behavior on Phelan's part, and it is undisputed that he had time to take a number of steps after receiving the response to his initial query. He called his dispatcher to verify the stolen vehicle; he continued following Phelan; and he awaited the arrival of back-up officers. Ultimately, he executed the stop only after Phelan had already come to a stop on account of a railroad crossing ahead. And at this stage of the proceedings, we credit Phelan's assertion that she did nothing unusual or evasive while Officer Dyas followed her. There is nothing in the sequence of events surrounding Officer Dyas's stop of Phelan to suggest that although he had time to read lines one and two of the LEADS report, it would have been impractical or otherwise difficult to read line three. This is so particularly since line three contains the crucial descriptive information about the "stolen" vehicle. More-over, that the stop occurred during what Officer Dyas characterizes as an "extremely busy" time of day only reinforces our view that a reasonable officer would have read the third line: traffic was moving slowly and there is no evidence that Phelan could have made a quick escape.
Officer Dyas also claims that it was reasonable for him to rely on the dispatcher's response to his query about license plate 1020. After he received the LEADS report, Officer Dyas contacted the dispatcher and reported that he was following a possible stolen motor vehicle. Officer Dyas testified in his deposition that the dispatcher verified that "license plate 1020 came back to a stolen vehicle." But Officer Dyas's reliance on the dispatcher is misplaced-far from being either the sole or authoritative source on the matter, the dispatcher simply responded to Officer Dyas's query, which was founded on his erroneous belief that the vehicle he was following was stolen. Although Officer Dyas's attempt to verify the status of the vehicle with the dispatcher certainly reinforces that his mistake was an innocent one, it does nothing to further his claim that the mistake, innocent as it may have been, was reasonable. His failure to review the information in front of him in his squad car cannot be excused by the dispatcher's response to his admittedly incomplete query.
In sum, we cannot conclude that Officer Dyas's failure to read the third line was objectively reasonable under the circumstances. We do not hold that a reasonable officer who had read the pertinent information in front of him could never have concluded that a stop was necessary. Indeed, if Officer Dyas had read the third line and still harbored the belief that a crime had been committed or that further investigation was warranted, we would have a different set of facts that may or may not represent a violation of a clearly established right. Here Phelan has advanced evidence that she was neither driving a stolen vehicle nor engaging in any traffic violation, and Officer Dyas has responded simply by admitting that in executing the stop he overlooked a crucial piece of information about the vehicle he was stopping. On this record, we conclude that Officer Dyas was not entitled to summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity.
For the foregoing reasons, we REVERSE the decision of the district court granting summary judgment to Officer Dyas and REMAND for further proceedings.

Any hikers out there in writer-land? Or writers who love to go for walks? Well, hiking-slash-walking isn't just for pleasure-slash-exercise. It can actually be a valuable writing tool.
Just ask Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of more than 142 published works, most of which were written while hiking. Yes, while. He regularly plots, plans, and dictates prose while he hikes, and says it's a critical part of his creative process.
"I like to 'get away' from real life and spend time in my fictional universes with my imaginary friends. Too many distractions at home, and I love to go out to walk, to move, to receive input in all five senses as I walk on trails, even on tame bike paths. It allows me to THINK, to have quiet time with my characters, to save the world (or, in certain circumstances, destroy it)…

Denis & Clare Casey5
I have to say that the accommodation arranged, everyone we met at each location, the food and wine were all top notch but I think we all particularly enjoyed The Kurland and got on very well with Diana and the team. Horse-riding and quad bikes around the estate were great fun, especially for the kids. We went to the elephant sanctuary and all walked and fed the elephants and the kids rode them. A big highlight for myself, Emma and Matthew was when we went canyoning and climbing/abseiling. Shamwari was a great way to finish off. We were so lucky with our ranger, Sipho, and got on great. We saw everything except the leopard (no surprise!) and did the conservation centre and born free foundation. By the time we'd got to Shamwari summer had come early and it was 33/34 degrees. On leaving I think it's fair to say there were a few tears shed by some of the Casey family when saying goodbye to Sipho!Read full trip review

Talking 'Bout Whose Gen X?
You think you're listening to Gen X. But what do you hear?
Once upon a time members of Generation X were a dark, mysterious puzzle that everyone—parents, marketers, journalists—wanted to solve. Who were these nonchalant products of broken homes, with their grungy ripped jeans, their devotion to MTV, their angst? Who did they admire? What did they care about? Then Generation X grew up, trading alienation for 30-year fixed mortgages and Kurt Cobain for Baby Einstein. And with conventionality, marketers thought, came transparency: Now we get you. Now we can target you.
Not so fast. Today's marketers are notorious for targeting Generation X, but the true influence its members wield—not only on each other but on the shopping and lifestyle habits of those younger and older—continues to elude many chief marketing officers. This influence can be as overt as baby boomer parents seeking their Gen X-children's advice before buying a cell phone or choosing a restaurant. Or maybe it's as restrained as Burton Snowboards' War Games-inspired jacket, which pays homage to a generation of Atari-playing children—now grown up and carrying significantly hefty wallets. "For us to continue to be successful, we don't have the luxury of ignoring any demographic," says Bryan Johnston, Burton's VP of global marketing. "And Gen X is a huge one. We will continue to target them in very subtle ways."
"Most companies today aren't [harnessing Gen X-ers' influence] well," says Ann Fishman, president of New Orleans-based Generational-Targeted Marketing. "If you don't get the way that Gen X-ers shop, the way they buy, the way they can influence their younger siblings, then you're not understanding the new-style American market."
So how best to capture and use that influence? The first step is to understand the generation that at one time gloried in its ability to resist definition. (See "Who Is Generation X?") As the first generation to come of age alongside technology, Gen X-ers invented the art of Internet comparison shopping. As the first generation to grow up in broken homes or homes with two working parents, they became self-reliant and practical—some would say cynical—at an early age; as a result, they've never had a lot of patience with insincere marketing efforts. They're willing to go to great lengths to get the product they want at the price they feel they deserve. According to Fishman, a Gen X-er would be apt to buy a car by selecting the make and model he wants, then e-mailing dealers within a 200-mile radius to see which can offer the best deal. (A boomer, by contrast, is more likely to purchase from a dealer close to home.)
According to David Morrison, president and founder of Twentysomething, a young-adult marketing consultancy, a prime example of Gen X influence lies in the rapid adoption of PDAs 10 years ago. "When PDAs first came out I watched them become embraced by the business schools," he says. But it wasn't until those Gen X business school students graduated and entered the workforce with Palm Pilots in hand, showing them to their older bosses, that they really took off, he says.
To turn that sort of influence into successful marketing strategies, experts say, truly innovative companies will learn to speak not just to Generation X but through it: a giant megaphone, tens of millions strong. "Generation X is the epicenter as they adopt new products and create new trends," says Morrison. "Marketers should be understanding and leveraging that. It's like a shotgun blast: Put Gen X in your sights, go for that market, and capture the other cohorts around them." That, of course, is easier said than done. "So many brands are stuck in one generation or another. So few are able to walk that line," says Andrew Greenberg, CEO of Greenberg Brand Strategy, a research and strategic consultancy.
Peter Pan on a Snowboard
Perhaps no company walks that line better than Burton Snowboards. "Like most companies in our world and in our space, we understand that we have a visual demographic," says Johnston. "We know that everybody in this company acts, feels and behaves 10 years younger than they actually are. And we use that to our benefit."
Step inside Burton's New York city flagship store in Manhattan's trendy SoHo district, and you might think you've entered a world created entirely for those under 30. Gen X-ers represent a large part of Burton's customer base, but not all of it. So understanding the difference between twentysomething customers and those cruising toward 40 and connecting to both while alienating neither is critical to Burton's success. "The younger customers tend to buy more units, and Gen X-ers buy fewer units but more expensive product," says Johnston. Both are important, but Burton has to reel in those Gen X-ers while keeping its brand image young and irreverent.
To that end, Burton's product and marketing department has learned to tap into the phenomenon of nostalgia for the '80s, which members of Gen X and Gen Y seem to share, even though most members of Gen Y were still in diapers when Madonna first introduced herself as the Material Girl. "We're finding that things Gen X-ers grew up with in the '80s bring back an emotional attachment, and for the younger consumers there's a fascination right now with '80s culture," says Johnston. It's a sum that's bigger than the parts of the over-the-top bands, the leg warmers, the rubber jewelry and the birth of gaming culture. Hence Burton's AK Softshell jacket, which comes in a War Games print inspired by the 1980s video game Asteroids.
Like all good marketing, the way Burton keeps its core image young and hip while maintaining a solid Gen X consumer base is part art and part science. "Visually we may not show people in [the Gen X] age group, but we make sure we resonate and connect with them," says Johnston. "Snowboarding makes you feel younger. We try to emotionally connect it with that feeling of joy and happiness that's tied to an age that you want to be again."
Oh, Baby
On the other end of the spectrum lie companies that are successfully targeting Generation X almost exclusively, and they have equally valuable lessons to impart. "Marketers should step away from making erroneous assumptions about Gen X," says Twentysomething's Morrison. "If they ever were out skateboarding with piercings, they're driving minivans now." Take Zutano, the children's clothing company (started in New York City but now based in Cabot, Vt.). In the 16 years since the company opened its doors, a lot of Gen X-ers have become parents, and they're very different parents than their parents were. "Gen X parents are determined to be great parents," says Fishman. "They're not going to get married until they find the right person. Being single in this generation has no stigma attached to it: You stay single until you find someone to make your life better."
Gen X-ers, to be sure, take their parenting seriously. Raised in an era of broken marriages and whose-weekend-is-it-mom's-or-dad's, they're resolute in their efforts to provide stability for their children. They also bring to parenting all the self-reliance and practicality that made them discerning shoppers in their teens. (The first generation of mall rats, Gen X-ers embraced shopping as part of their social lives.) These days, Gen X-ers understand the power and the allure of seeking and sharing information online. "This generation of parents is really very communication-driven and knowledge-driven," says Mary Admasian, Zutano's CMO. Websites like Big City Moms and UrbanBaby.com bring parents together through message boards and chat rooms, and in those virtual, informal settings they dispense and absorb information that, once upon a time, would be passed along only between close friends, if at all. Zutano, recognizing the power of this sort of communication, uses websites like Big City Moms to hold contests and promotional giveaways. "When they're having a new moms' dinner, we contribute newborn socks or a Zutano bunny as a party favor to begin the brand awareness process," says Admasian.
Here's where marketers across the board can take note, even if they don't have stuffed bunnies to give away. While the topics of conversation among Gen X parents—either virtually or during traditional get-togethers that the online communications promote—may begin with baby strollers or diaper wipes, they can move quickly to mortgages or mutual funds or vacation spots. That means that any company that understands the way Gen X-ers communicate and influence one another can quickly get a leg up on its competitors. When an entire generation brings the same fluid method of connecting and communicating to everything they buy, opportunities to capture their attention abound.
On the Technology Front
Once upon a time it was faintly embarrassing—for everyone involved—if parents asked their children for advice. Now boomer parents consistently seek Gen X-ers' counsel before making purchases, particular technology items like cell phones or digital cameras. Gen X-ers are more comfortable with online shopping, and more adept at navigating message boards or other online communities that publish product ratings or consumer opinions. "I doubt that there's a piece of technology that's bought by the older generations without the advice of a Gen X-er," says Fishman.
The message here should be clear: Even if Gen X-ers aren't your target market, or your entire target market, you'd better make sure you're speaking clearly to them because they may well be advising the customers you really want to reach. A good example of this lies in the iPod. According to Twentysomething's Morrison, when the first iPods came out it was Gen X-ers who had the savvy and the money to buy them; it was under Gen X's influence that they took off so quickly. But Gen Y was waiting in the wings, and when prices started dropping and supply and choice increased, they stepped in. Now you might find a Gen X-er or a Gen Y-er buying an iPod for a parent.
According to Greenberg, the wine industry has also started listening to Gen X. "Gen X-ers have everything to do with the ratification of wine snobbery; they're not seduced by 'wine for the rich,'" he says. "Gen X has created a larger platform from which wine companies and brands can create additional subbrands."
Yet in between the Zutanos and the Burtons of the world lie a host of companies that have not yet tapped into the Gen X influence. Experts say that there's room to absorb that influence in most industries, particularly in the financial and automobile industries, which have mostly stuck with the staid, traditional approaches to marketing that worked for Gen X-ers' parents.
"Boomers have been the engine driving businesses for so long," says Fishman. "Businesses get lazy, and boomers are having a hard time admitting there's been a generational shift."
Admitting there's been a shift is a good step, though it's only the first step of many to building a brand image that will capture the attention of Generation X. If you build it right, they'll probably come. And don't be surprised if they bring their parents, their baby-sitters, their younger siblings, their friends and everyone else they know.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to elucidate independent factors that predict surgical satisfaction in lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) patients.
METHODS: Patients who underwent surgery were grouped based on the age, gender, duration of symptoms, walking distance, Neurogenic Claudication Outcome Score (NCOS) and the stenosis ratio (SR) described by Lurencin. We recorded on 2-year patient satisfaction using standardized measure. The optimal cut-off points in SR, NCOS and walking distance for predicting surgical satisfaction were estimated from sensitivity and specificity calculations and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.
RESULTS: One hundred fifty consecutive patients (51 male, 99 female, mean age 62.4±10.9 years) were followed up for 34±13 months (range 24-49). One, two, three and four level stenosis was observed in 10.7%, 39.3%, 36.0 % and 14.0% of patients, respectively. Post-surgical satisfaction was 78.5% at the 2 years follow up. In ROC curve analysis, the asymptotic significance is less than 0.05 in SR and the optimal cut-off value of SR to predict worsening surgical satisfaction was measured as more than 0.52, with 85.4% sensitivity and 77.4% specificity (AUC 0.798, 95% CI 0.73-0.90; P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that the SR, with a cut-off set a 0.52 cross-sectional area, may be superior to walking distance and NCOS in patients with degenerative lumbar stenosis considered for surgical treatment. Using a ROC curve analysis, a radiological feature, the SR, demonstrated superiority in predicting patient satisfaction, compared to functional and clinical characteristics such as walking distance and NCOS.

Rights Groups Say Shell Oil Shares Blame
By PAUL LEWIS
Published: November 11, 1995
Human rights advocates and environmental organizations in the United States and Britain angrily criticized the Shell oil group yesterday after the hanging of the Nigerian writer Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists, saying the company had damaged the executed men's reputation with Nigeria's military rulers and could have done more to secure their reprieve.
A group led by Mr. Saro-Wiwa, the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni Peoples, had protested environmental damage by Shell and other oil companies in the Ogoni region in the Niger Delta, as well as human rights abuses there by the Nigerian military against the Ogoni and other ethnic groups.
Shell suspended operations in the Ogoni region in 1993 after civil unrest, but still produces about half of Nigeria's crude oil output of two million barrels a day.
"Shell is the bulwark of Nigeria's economy, producing almost half its oil," said William Shulz, president of Amnesty International. "It did not do all it could have done. It had influence which it did not exert."
Gavin Grant of the Ogoni Community Association, a London-based organization that supported Mr. Saro-Wiwa's campaign, said, "Shell demonized Ken Saro-Wiwa in the eyes of the Nigerian military." Human Rights Watch called on Shell and other oil companies to close down their operations in Nigeria.
Royal Dutch/Shell Group, the company's formal name, issued a statement from its London headquarters expressing "deep regret" that the executions had taken place. It said that it no immediate plans to scale back its operations in Nigeria.
Behind the anger with Shell lies a perception that the company was halfhearted in its efforts to secure pardons for the men after they were condemned to death at a trial widely seen as flawed on charges they had incited demonstrators to murder four pro-Government chiefs.
On Oct. 31, after the defendants were found guilty, Shell acknowledged it was being pressed to use its influence'with the Nigerian Government to secure clemency for them, but said it would not do so, saying, "It is not for a commercial organization like Shell to interfere in the legal processes of a sovereign state such as Nigeria."
The company also accused Mr. Saro-Wiwa of supporting violence, saying that although his organization asserted its campaign against the oil drillers was nonviolent, "this is not our experience."
The company's grudging attitude brought protests from Mr. Saro-Wiwa's supporters in the West. On Nov. 2, Shell issued another statement in which it dropped the accusation that Mr. Saro-Wiwa abetted violence and called it "understandable" that the families of those condemned to death should issue "emotional and moving appeals on their behalf."
But the company expressed no regret at the death sentences and again refused to intervene on the condemned men's behalf.
Only after the death sentences were confirmed by Nigeria's ruling military council on Wednesday did Shell issue a third short statement, saying Cor Herkstroter, chairman of the committee of managing directors of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group, had written to the Nigerian military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, "requesting clemency on humanitarian grounds."
But it warned that openly pressing the Nigerian authorities to commute the sentences might prove counterproductive, saying "many of those who know Africa best, like Nelson Mandela, have advocated quiet diplomacy as the way forward."
In this case, however, quiet diplomacy did not work.
