We speak with Bill Belichick on a Patriots Monday and get his take on the team's win over Buffalo, but the continuing issues of a very porous Patriots defense.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
I don't care and they show -- patriots Monday and is always we all live down here Gillette Stadium and on Monday. Time for us to talk with a coach Bill Belichick it's all brought you might -- realize the no nonsense life insurance company and our friend. -- rates for men and women call 888 get history a life. Or visit ESP -- dot com for your free quote. Know what's happened and -- Goodman -- Michael -- gives them great. You've taken a look at obviously the video you get yourself with me this today. Is another one of those were good things she's done while most things -- off to work on. Well let go against NFL comes down to a one possession one foot in the last seconds less minute and so innocent and again unfortunately we're able to. Jamaican police come out on top when it's competitively -- the -- -- we'll take it and I'm trying to improve on our panel and our best candidate was it's going to be three -- division. Commission improvement and you know you talk every week about what we want need to do is get better every single week so that. We have good wreck didn't where we're there when we need to be in the playoffs -- seeing improvement when this team especially again. With the secondary -- yardage given up yesterday. Well there are no people sister. So that was. So I want to thank. But you know it's you know a lot of the artists came on. As a result of her luck go get off field on third down once and let them more opportunities warriors like he usually does. Sending up in buffalo now than we convert on third down on them keep the drives going. More -- pile up more points well some. Period third down its owner related. As you mentioned yards you look at the two games with buffalo this year they have. Gaudy statistics but the bottom line is they have two losses you got what you wanted to both games. Eric do you are you. Do you think there's something that they're they're doing for your daughter we rescues what is it about what they're doing that causes problems for him. Well they're they're tough to in the matchup against -- good. Very good skill players titans receivers backs there's that's tough -- think you know get through four on the field one time it's us it's our matchup. When you look at yesterday last census question 351 downs for them. You won the game. Did care about that numbers that number keeps you up and knives and drive me crazy is arguably arguably 351 downs or do you say plan. So the price of doing business we won again. We'll be trying to improve every week and so. What are we can do to improve we'll try and improve. Certainly we would like to improve on that points yards. Sent their offense and doing the Stockton is on offense and -- -- in the kicking game. The Stockton is on defense and let's say execution police. -- execution was so we get a better job. It's -- looked like there were more missed tackles. -- normal game was I do special for the film to move her a tremendous amount of yards after the catch after the first it. Yes you know it says that yesterday wasn't. A great tackling good day for us. But that's the same time I think you do have to give credit to. To their their owners can earn their skill players when -- Fayetteville resident tough tackle but that's still. That the most -- either we've got to do better job of no hitting coach a better gonna saws and more we gonna do better edge over the on the field there's no question we got to. We gotta tackle but that's what defense is gonna skip the guy with the ball on the ground and and we're gonna face other other tough guys tackled two plus there are those those guys never for pretty doing and we have from Bloomington missiles -- personally. One tackle cost your team fifteen yards yesterday and Ryan Fitzpatrick after the game said. Brandon Spikes is an emotional player but at times he's a punk. What did you think of that penalty upon roughing the passer. I'm Brandon Spikes that in game yesterday. Well there are I think about it that's what. It's what the referee thinks about wooden vehicles only some boots on the. Which you teach him to do it in another way and if you look back at it I'm sure you've seen it again would you say despite say you can't. From what would you say to -- because if you look at the replay slow it down. At that at worst it's debatable it's questionable I didn't think it was obvious. At all or a parent so clearly he. Hit him in the Helmand or it was a cheap -- would you say there's spikes do something different. Well let's loosening banks -- think and who you tell players. What what we will we tell the players is that we can't the quarterback emotional Wimbledon he's. Simple as so. They've got they can -- the quarterback that they can't they can't come both shoulders -- and we'll ninjas. And they -- will crown a helmet so. And I'm you know so it's almost illegal. How do you who may ask your players to maintain. The the aggressive attitude that you want to sit there and still be able to have. Stop those -- have propelled extremely warm gruesome obviously but. Who can is a fine line between. And ensures -- final -- their courses search online and in. You've played you know -- suits and their bang bang play it's it's not like you get you know 45 minutes to figure out OK here's on gonna do you -- -- because there hadn't been. Fifty trying to. We try to coach shouldn't and the players that think of them -- good job of trying to move trying to play within the rules and that's what the rules are we can't. Thanks and Caylee was proud of -- helmet came -- below the shoulders can blow needs so. We try to hit on the not in those areas or without technique and we coach that we drove both football's a fast and some context for them. Sometimes you a split second to do it and and you don't intend to do it sometimes it ends up happening so. We'll continue to coach is no way in and I know our players will continue to try to do the right thank you can play within the rules book. And inevitably -- and sure there will be penalties again. Steve there were no penalties in more than you can actually touch your quarterback what do you think it's a miracle on the quarterback you're up. Only ask you about your final series which allowed buffalo to get the ball back and obviously the the interception. Closed out the game which got the ball looked like it was about. It really was -- what you are now -- way or something like that you've got first thing goal. Yet there was a hurry up offense in that first play were you thinking that you were gonna catch them. Off guard thinking that you were gonna try to waste -- the clock right now and take as much time as possible and kill the two minute warning. -- it's -- a similar play earlier found we just didn't. Obviously due to pitch out on the play we think any arts and and we're trying to we are trying to run our offense and then do what we've been doing that was successful and and that it didn't work then we. And in the bottom line was a situation and work out the way -- want to that's Fisher house just cheers because not only did you only get the three and gives them an opportunity to come back from one score actually be an opportunity to win. But that's situation didn't use -- much time on the clock either so. I don't know footnote there obviously -- I mean we're Clinton personally were playing to win the plan to score so we're trying to kneel on the ball and then golf club we're trying to score and -- -- good offense we've we've been successful we're successful in the right areas -- -- every time we're down there down and and we we ran the plays that we felt like were best player isn't and we're trying to get on ends don't feel like making it two score game -- Must say what -- sealed let's certainly would've. Learned a lot tougher for buffalo then obviously wants organ but we we were unable to do it we've heard. We're trying to be aggressive we're trying to win some. It's. Not stronger than them it's wrong. -- good offense. What is your receivers doing a good job of her just say it many times there -- job receivers to. Get open and catch the ball put house I saw some blocks. Yesterday from your receivers one of my really go from Deion Branch they -- a first down or touchdown. What do you say to hear if that's the job of the receivers to get opening cash for what do you say to receivers when it comes to blocking -- you have. It occupy your guys and knock your guys having some guys are doing better than others was your approach when you can you tell those guys. When you -- those guys about blocking. Snow well depends on the total block that that there are involved and they're trying to. Before trying to run outside of on them than they have cracked the defender and blocker from the outside and we're trying to run and suddenly. Which photo we call Stockton thunder blocker from the inside out bass guitarist and from a mere -- And make him you know pick one side or the other in the on the run and I can can take the other son to -- he's not on. So. Home and instantly you know most important thing is to be able to -- I don't had just barely get the guys that you want -- fought because this is secondary. Rotates differently in different coverages quarters coverage is to be 3-D man coverages almost you know as a lot of different looks back there. Which guys the most dangerous guy which does this that does the receivers have which it is. Handled in the blocking scheme between them. The -- down the offensive line and everything too tight end -- fullback for -- extra guys in there. So knowing who's who when he played there theater sets and there is no extra guys there's just the five offensive line in the -- in those -- six Walker's done. The panel where that seventh guy comes from safety here in the nickel back or whoever it is and -- -- -- coordinated with the receivers on. On who to block him and when he got it going there and get them early kind of blocked and no real. There are some -- lot of moving partisan and adjustments and judgments that those guys have to make so let's. It's a big part of their assignments in the running games later it's sort without getting the right guys and then actually -- Murkowski had a a couple of the points yesterday to -- some pretty productive runs the clock game suppressor and receiver. That you coasting in Europe career best receiver and blocking. You've shown us pretty good. It sounds pretty good these big you know. 6263. -- here's -- -- -- was a long long arms and and enjoy doing it too. He -- -- and you know the founders are in the receivers all the time after the catch a smaller you know come and an -- at the moment. Cummins and I kind of thing so excellent chance for serial no payback comes back here and then hit them pound them -- -- -- -- so. But you know we've we've found billion on in the it's it's not about. Always knocking the guy down at sometimes just tying them up then then west does a good job I mean really peace. He's he's a good blocker because he's quick he's aggressive and and he can usually get in front of the guy with the speed is quick to -- get between a runner -- And the guy they supposed to block and then. You know it gives a runner to have an opportunity to cut off that block -- seven around block -- -- can use. Was a screen or his body. To help in insurers that run them. I'm wet west does a good job me your overall peace he -- a real good job a lot of -- -- He gives us some size but he's very competitive and he can he can -- those guys up. Potentially if you don't have him in this week I take it correct. He's here okay. Couple of the players who played few in the past and talked about you defensive scheme and being fairly complicated if that is the case and that they're true it. -- DIC earlier talked about kind of language barrier that you're asked to do a lot of the same things you're asked to do another team but it's a different language you have pickup -- The language aspect of it. How can you incorporate him too quickly or do you have to simplify. She is role. To find a way to use them obviously you brought immense because you think he can help you defense of secondary. How do you use him the quickest. Well I think when you -- a player and none during the season it's time that you we do a couple of things I mean first of all you try to. Get a base of terminology form it's not the same training camp re kind of put in everything you're going to be doing all year. But. I think at this at this point you're -- more selective with the -- that you try to build and then you once you have a base there and then you get to the game plan and you worked specifically on. The game plan for the colts and there maybe some things. Well certainly there be there are things in our defense that won't be part of the game plan against the colts. -- also rather than waste a lot of time coach and those and then get an understanding of those that we. Focus more on the things that are going to be applicable this week. The next week is next week and something to carry over in the recent new things and the hope over a period of time that you're able to catch the flare up with in terms of overall terminology. But most importantly specifics for that particular game you know maybe -- two or three different ways to play a certain thing but this is how are gonna play this week so that's the one that you. You concentrate on and I think that's. You know it's a little lesion to do on offense because you know the plays -- -- call. You know even -- the plays are gonna call when I'm gonna call I think also defensively you don't. Know exactly we know the defense is we're gonna call but we don't exactly where they're gonna lineup and how they're gonna. Positioned their players and and they could certainly accomplish something new that we haven't seen before. And that we have to adjust to so there's -- some moving parts on defense that. Are our challenge and to get a new clarity but that's again he's an experienced player he's played a lot of football so. We'll see our -- and also goes in the short run will. We'll work on our General Communication and you know foundation and as we get more into the game plan won't work. -- some CO goes. Almost human to -- -- resilient we've -- you know on any ideas and practice of forcing political -- -- It's time now for the coach's question of the week brought to you by your local Mercedes-Benz dealers and their complete lineup of 2013 models. On the web at NB usaid dot com's is very convoluted you have to. Edit this down here patent Rhode Island basically says -- their share for Cisco rams game yesterday. It ended in a tie. And he was looking at your career record and saw that you've never had a tie in your career. But if you had how would you feel about it -- it like a waste of time playing preparing for a team an entire week and then. Walking away. With no wind and no losses just back to square. And actually I think goes involvement -- in the 1980. Three. With the giants against the rams 2424. So much 33121 night here. But it went -- -- hello there it's. There had good career against. Free -- telcos in Korea now but. Well prominent citizen loses and you play for -- five minutes and then you're on a winner than. Do you don't know Warner. You're not America better better motives long not a good heavens and I'm -- Yeah another three that was a strange game LO LL strange game three someone else Parcells is the first year yes those assertions turned so it's. OK -- Indian and that and then tells me that game was against the cardinals. Roy green must've done something great OJ Anderson one of those guys but. If you look at and say it's almost like we lost thirteen games. And it's a tie it didn't -- does it feel like. Don't comment though they depends on the they depend -- came -- we would about the about the Harvard -- game with the authority the coming off that the press there Harvard wins one Giuliani -- point 91 dollar was. Harvard wins Tony Tony it was Tina -- sixteen points was. A minute and a half the only game in -- and many -- you feel like UN. Think if you're ahead by sixteen points and admin and have the -- -- -- -- -- kind of lost you lost so he depends on -- game. Plus some student who threw twelve while she's number I'm sure that one ties who yeah. -- would go very emotional content more shallow bush. I got one guy which can go do you think there should be in the -- and pro football and they can you just. In in the regular season is it just counterproductive to say all right. -- I think you try to take a look. And you know at some point and helped him. But that's all football night at some point maybe -- you know you just got to take a look at and senators to time these two teams are in but. -- -- -- I'm always like playing the you know that that type of game where you do you have another period in regulation and I like the concept of play until the end of that period was fifteen minutes ten minutes eight minutes what whatever you wanna make it. But where you have the end of the game strategy and time now Olsen. You know what -- and basketball. -- play the end of the game the way you play the end of the game we don't play the first team to score first team to get eight points or. Ten point and that's going to be played at period out there and I think there's some -- piece of. Before -- let you go really ask you about Andrew Luck and Michael and I were talking about this earlier in the old days. People were always complimentary if you against young coaching against young quarterbacks because. They try to set them up an awful lot showing -- one thing in the first quarter giving himself totally different in the third quarter messed him up. As the game changed that we looking at the players are look at this kid. And he doesn't make an awful lot of mistakes he can run to control the ball throw the ball under pressure nothing seems. To rattle him as this a unique. Young player we're looking and Andrew Luck. It's always been impressive alone certainly is is an outstanding athlete he can run he's got. Really good speed to get out of trouble and then by time in the pocket. He Bellotti heard swollen converted third downs and then scrambled for 101520. Point one yard gains -- everything so. Nice big strong kid you sort of tackle loans got a good arm and think he sees the field while still a good vision good poisoned food and makes good decisions so. Certainly been impressed watching an unknown. And I'm sure he'll. And -- I mean we're halfway through the season now in almost any rookies a rookie at this point we've played nine games for pre season games so. You know we're we're pretty far down the road now also made this their first year that there's these guys a start of play you know. Over our college season so I think I think they're getting to the point where rookies really are rookies anymore there. Then they have enough experience -- of the polish village go out there and then played a competitive world everybody else has seen a lot of already. And I know he's so good guys that. There's only nine games would you mind you many believe. Linda and that this is his career he's -- -- a vote to move to. The -- to grasp what they quickly. Both -- -- you know -- little closer look at them over the week here and we've. You know watched and seen all the games and really break it down by enemy heat. I don't think there's a lot of difference between them physically and that a guy like Cam Newton as far as just being able to run and and you know be strong and fast and had a good arm and an all that maybe he seems to. Free coverage as well he's got a great receiver obviously in Reggie Wayne and I think there's many better than him. And when there's going to have them say they really seemed to assure Amanda and they -- Reggie you know used to always lineup or they're on the right side and now he's. All over the place in motion in the slot and he is -- are defined so -- That really move around both. -- in London and good done a great -- turn their program they really haven't in this. Fifteen last year and if it's endless struggle to be competitive in a lot of games and they. And turned in a good football team and had a lot of players and they're they're a lot different looking team on defense and you know they're they're they're very they're gonna offer Johnson and noticed a good football teams so. He goes again got a lot of credit to the organization and it's not just log -- good there's there's gonna. Lot of people contributed to and they've they've turned around we'll turn a program -- short amount of time. The coach's hours brought to you by Mercedes-Benz. And EMD Miller for. Industrial -- SP -- in the no nonsense life insurance company and our renewal rates from minimum -- call 888 get -- feel like. Or visit SB -- dot com for your free quote. Graduation -- when yesterday good luck and some new kitchen -- and actually felt all right thanks Clint we'll take -- I -- -- city -- -- Belichick right here and make sure.

As they folded into video game company lore, 3D Realms sold the intellectual property for Duke Nukem to Gearbox Software on the promise that their 12-year vision for Duke Nukem would be fulfilled. The deal may have not happened if not for the presence of Randy Pitchford, who left 3D Realms in 1999 (after spending time working on the Duke project) to co-found Gearbox software. Pitchford did not want Duke's legacy to end as an industry joke. To him, Duke deserved better and for the most part, 3D Realms had created a nearly complete game. Gearbox just had to put the finishing touches on it.
Pitchford had been part of the original team working on Duke 3D, which is why he felt a certain connection to the franchise. Regardless, as he left to form Gearbox and it became evident that 3D Realms was circling the drain, the gaming world's frenzy for Duke died down and became an industry standard joke, naming the title the king of vaporware – a game that is always rumored to be near completion, but never actually exists. In 2009, Clive Thompson wrote an obituary for Duke in Wired Magazine.
"Despite more than a decade of waiting, the excitement over the game is still remarkably high; its die-hard fans might be the most patient on earth. But if they want to play Duke Nukem Forever anytime soon, they'll need more than patience: They'll need a miracle."
Little did Clive know at the time that the lawsuits surrounding the franchise were being settled, and Pitchford was already beginning work on cleaning up the title for it's eventual (and now recent) release. A miracle was coming.

A phrase I commonly hear when my husband and I go to our weekly Warhammer battles is, "What we really need is beer!" Unfortunately, alcohol is not allowed on the premises. A couple of weeks ago, one of the objectives was to come up with the best snack. I started thinking how I could provide beer to my opponents without breaking the rules.
The answer came to me in a flash: beer bread!
The monkeys over at ThinkGeek have conjured up yet another awesome t-shirt idea. Combining two of my favorite things, robots, and bottle openers, I present to you the BeerBot Bottle Opening Shirt. Never again will the fashionable geek be without a means to access their libation of choice.
Through a particularly nefarious contact and a covertly trained monkey, I was able to obtain, free of charge, a sample of this shirt for analysis and possible interrogation. The robot wasn't intelligent so we had to skip the Q&A. For the initial test I wore the shirt to work. Since my wardrobe is about 90% robot shirts, I wasn't surprised that few people noticed the new robot. But I was surprised that few people saw the bottle opener. After inspecting my shirt in the mirror I realized that it blends in well, and unless you catch it in profile it doesn't really stand out.
I refrained from performing the functional test until Beer:30, at which time a few of us gathered around the beer cooler to pop open some Shiner. Since I'm used to using a church key or a bar mounted opener it felt a tad awkward opening one on my chest. I ended up holding the opener in one hand to get some leverage on the bottle. Others who used it did not express as much awkwardness, but some spillage did occur. I think if the opener were designed so you push the bottle down instead of lift that could be avoided, but I don't know how well it'd work sewn into the shirt like that.
So as far as a robot shirt goes, it's very cool, and comfortable. The opener is made of aluminum and doesn't weigh down the shirt anymore than a heavy silk screen does. While the opener functions, I felt it was a bit awkward and could have room for improvement. Everyone thought it was cool, despite the difficulties using the opener.
You can pick up your own BeerBot Bottle Opening Shirt at ThinkGeek. Don't forget to get a 4-pack of Caffeinated Pirate Root Beer for the Geeklets. Just be sure to cut them off long before bed time.

Rain the winner Monday
Ongoing rain forces the cancellation of the third-place game at the Series
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - In the 12 days since the Murrayhill Little League Majors all-stars first arrived in Williamsport for the World Series, they've taken away a lot from their experience.
There were the highlights from five games played in front of increasingly large crowds on the immaculately groomed and sculpted fields at Lamade and Volunteer stadiums.
There were chances to meet players from around the world. There were congratulatory emails from friends and family and fans worldwide. There were suitcases filled with Series shirts, Series pins, Series hats and every other kind of gear.
On Sunday, though, the final scheduled day of competition at the Series, Murrayhill brought a bit of Oregon to Williamsport - in other words it rained like heck.
While almost no team figured out how to stop Murrayhill on the field during the 2006 summer all-star season, nature finally found a way to end Murrayhill's dream summer. The heavy rain that inundated Williamsport early Sunday forced cancellation of Murrayhill's scheduled third-place game against Mexico, and later led to postponement of the Series championship between Japan and Georgia (Georgia came through Monday to beat Japan 2-1 and win the overall World Series championship).
Murrayhill's players and coaches were notified of the cancellation at around 9 a.m. Sunday morning. The decision wiped out not only Murrayhill's chance to face Mexico in the third-place game, but their lone shot at an international team and an opportunity to finish the Series the way it had finished all its other tournaments - with a win.
For Murrayhill's players and coaches, a group that battled successfully through District 4, Oregon and Northwest regional tournament victories on their way to the Series, this was not how they'd hoped to see their all-star adventure end.
'We were (mad) because we want to be third place, not tied for third place,' said center fielder Corey Pool. 'We'd rather play the game and have a chance to actually be third place.'
'And we didn't get to play an international team and we really wanted to,' said catcher Trevor Nix, one of Murrayhill's Saturday night heroes - he hit a two-run homer against Georgia.
But despite their best efforts and most fervent wishes, the signs that pointed to cancellation of their Sunday third-place game were everywhere. Streams of water coursed down the hill below Volunteer Stadium like small rivers. Players, fans and parents donned official Little League ponchos and some trash bags with their arms poked through self-made holes to keep the rain at bay. Umbrellas made appearances for the first time during the Series' run. And Volunteer Stadium itself, the site for Sunday's third-place game, was covered in standing water and obviously in no shape for competition.
Murrayhill's players also missed having the chance to end their season the way so many of their other days had ended - with a win.
'We thought we were going to win because (Mexico) threw their ace yesterday,' said right fielder Bryan Domogalla. 'And like Trevor said, I wanted to play an international team.'
Murrayhill finishes its World Series competition at 3-2 and its all-star summer at 18-3. The team also surpassed all previous Oregon teams' efforts at the Series - there was only one before Murrayhill and that 1948 Rose City Little League played and lost its only contest at the Series.
'Top two in the country and third in the world isn't too bad,' Nix added.

E-Discovery "The Beginning"
E-Discovery Challenge
has been a great experience for my students at ECMS. The first year is always
the hardest. There have been lots of learning experiences. However, each
experience will help us to be more successful as the program continues in the
future. My students have all be excited to complete the program. The final
products were wonderful and helped the students to learn some valuable lessons.
In the business reflections
and final group presentations students seemed to mostly grasp the idea of
"demand". Students that sold snow cones on hot sunny days were the most
successful. Snow cones were something they could offer at breaks and after-school events that no one else was selling and there was a demand from both
adults and children for a cool refreshment. The group that was the least
successful and did not get a return on their investment was decorative socks.
The really looked great but what it all came down to was demand, and there
wasn't much for "splatter socks".
Students learned a lot of other
valuable lessons that they expressed when presenting their final group
presentations including:
Groups were dissolved after some really hard work because they
simply could not get along.
Other fees are included in starting a business such as envelopes,
markers, glue and poster board to advertise your product. Those costs also come
out of your bottom line profits.
It takes hard work to get even the simplest business started.
Starting a business and making a product takes TIME!
The biggest lesson that I have learned
from this program that I will change next year is the timing. Snow days, flood
days, and testing really put some constraints on us. Our program was set to
begin in March. Because of snow we were not able to begin until April. Because
of testing and the final day of school being moved up we had to move our sales
event up and sell at school instead of the Memorial Days Festival. The event
itself was successful. However, had it been during a festival we would have had
more traffic and the student would have made more profits. Next year we are
planning on starting first semester. This will give us time to create and sell
products and a school event that has students, parents and the general public.
We are already in discussion of some dates!
Another great think I have
learned about this project is what a GREAT community we have. I have businesses
offering to donate items for the sales, parents offering to pay for the start up
costs so that their child's group can be even more successful. What a great
community that we live in where businesses and parents are willing to support
their future leaders in any way that they can.

A civilian pilot risked being bombed by an Orion in February after flying through the Kaipara Air Weapons Range, the Civil Aviation Authority's magazine has revealed.
An Orion was conducting a bombing run on the morning of February 28, when a light aircraft entered the range, Royal New Zealand flight safety officer, Squadron Leader Rachel James, wrote in the latest issue of Vector magazine.
The plane was spotted by the range control officer approaching from the north at 1250 feet, Squadron Leader James wrote, and the Orion responded by ceasing the bombing run and climbing to 3000ft.
Squadron Leader James said the pilot was lucky, and had the range control officer not been so alert, the situation could have been different.
The incident served to show the danger of flying into the active military areas like Kaipara, Waiouru and the Manawatu.
"We conduct many activities at Kaipara. These include bombing, flares, helicopter gunnery, surface-to-air missile firing, explosive ordnance disposal, and simulated surface-to-air rocket attacks as part of tactical flying exercises," she wrote.
Squadron Leader James warned aircraft entering these areas could be struck by falling munitions or more likely damaged by fragmentation from an exploding bomb.
Also shockwaves from explosives disrupt airflow and could cause a aircraft to deviate its course.
"There is also the possibility of distraction due to the bright flash of an exploding bomb or flare and sand particles being kicked into the air."
The pilot involved has not been traced, but Squadron Leader James assumed the pilot had failed to check the Notice to Airmen warnings, which are issued whenever a military area is being used.

If it is legal to cc ( and in some states like PA, open carry) why do we have to be concerned if have a profile showing through a shirt when carrying? As a newbie to this, I was just wondering.
Having a cover garment is generally for concealment. Concealment = tactical advantage
If you're talking about a strictly CC state, the law dictates that your carry not be obvious so that the sheep aren't frightened.
"Historical examination of the right to bear arms, from English antecedents to the drafting of the Second Amendment, bears proof that the right to bear arms has consistently been, and should still be, construed as an individual right." -- U.S. District Judge Sam Cummings, Re: U.S. vs Emerson (1999)
If you don't mind that its in the open and its legal then its not, but there are times when I really don't want anyone else to know, and its those times that I want it to be completely invisible.

Might be wrong about this, but some states laws may frown on the "print" of a hangun underneath a conceal garment. In WV I believe it means the weapon must be concealed, that is not out in the open if you have a concealed carry permit. Open carry is permissible with or without a permit but for WV residents only. Printing or the imprint of a firearm underneath concealment I do not believe is against WV law.
Some states have further amended their laws so that if a cover garment flaps in the breeze and temporarily exposes the concealed firearm that is not against the law. "Printing" or the imprint of a firearm underneath clothing I do not believe is against the law per se, but check with your respective state laws for that.
Like one comment, keeping the imprint of your firearm under control helps stop the "man with a gun" calls to police.

Your best opportunity for a good defense is surprise. If the BG knows your carrying you will be his/her first target.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.
Element of suprise,and in some states it is still considered brandishing if it prints,and some private property owners might ask you to vacate if you print.
Minnesota has a permit to carry... open or concealed, doesn't matter so printing isn't an issue. Like mentioned however, in other states it's illegal and something like printing in a concealed carry only state is considered open carrying.
I don't want anyone to know I am carrying a firearm.
In CA if the police are called due to printing it may be considered "brandishing a firearm" and grounds for criminal charges and a certain way to lose your CCW.
I don't worry much about printing. I do worry about wearing something that will on conceal the weapon properly and my pistol becomes visible. I got outed for printing a few years ago in Florida. Lady asked me what I had under my shirt because I was printing bad not openly but printing through my shirt. I responded it is my pain pump that I use due to a really bad car accident. She just said oh and went about her day. In my experience while carrying there are three types of people you will encounter. 1 are the people who are not paying any attention to you and won't pay no mind if they do see a bulge under a persons shirt. 2. are the the paranoid people who think that they are going to get shot at at any time. 3. are people like us who look to see if we can spot CCers and don't care if we find one. Now concealed carry means just that, keep your weapon concealed but if you are printing through your clothes don't worry to much as most of the people won't give you enough attention to even pick up on it.
What is that bulge on your hip?
When carrying a concealed pistol, there are almost always going to be times when you can see a visible bulge where the gun is. People new to concealed carry are often very self-conscious of this. However, it is a fact that with certain clothing, there's going to be some sort of bulge or lump people can see beneath your clothing. There's very little you can do about it except to acquire a gun/holster rig and wear the type of clothing which minimizes the bulge as much as possible. If you wear loose enough clothing, the bulge can and often does disappear altogether.
Does it really matter?
It can in some circumstances, but generally, it does not matter all that much. And here's why. The difference between a bulge and printing is distinct, and most people really confuse the two. Printing is where the distinct shape of a gun can be seen below the cover garment. You can see the distinct outline of what is known to be a firearm. A bulge is something which sticks out from beneath the cover garment but could be anything. You see a bulge on someones hip, it could be a gun... but it could also be a cell phone, a pager, a PDA, a sunglasses case, or even some sort of medical device like an insulin pump. How you decide to deal with rude "curiosity seekers" is really up to you.
Obviously printing is more revealing than a bulge because with printing, you really know it's a gun because of the distinct shape. The more loose the cover garment is, the less revealing what's underneath. Most guns do not print unless you are wearing something like a skin tight T-shirt where you can definitely see the outline of the butt of the gun and/or the rear sights of the gun. Again, wearing looser fitting clothes and the gun will disappear either completely, or merely leave a slight bulge, which again, could be anything.
Most states concealed carry laws do not demand that there is No Bulges or No Printing. Most states concealed carry laws means the gun must be "concealed" from view. As long as your firearm is not visible you are pretty much good to go whether you have a slight bulge or not. After all, it could be anything under that shirt. And human nature being what it is, most people want to believe that it's anything other than a gun. The only people who really know for sure are other "gun culture" people and possibly Law Enforcement officers, if they are paying attention.
Obviously, you want to avoid, printing as much as possible. You wear a skin tight T-shirt over your full sized model 1911 pistol and everyone's going to know it's a gun. And when anyone can tell it's a gun, some folks start to get nervous. And that is never the ideal situation.
What is flashing?
Flashing is when your cover garment is moved in such a way as your gun is exposed to view. Bending over grab something off a bottom shelf or reaching overhead to grab something off a top shelf in a grocery store causes your shirt to ride up and make your pistol completely visible is called "flashing your piece." The other most common method of flashing is where a strong gust of wind blows your cover garment away from your side, causing your gun to be exposed for everyone to see.
There is a lot of discussion whether momentary flashing your piece is considered brandishing your weapon. In the true definition of brandishing no, but some people and some states may see it a little differently so you should always do your best to keep from flashing your firearm. Some states do get down right nasty about it, and flashing your gun is always considered to be a major party foul.
In states where open carry is allowed, then printing, flashing and having large bulges on your waist is less of an issue than in other states where people are not allowed open carry at all.
I hope this helps explain things better. Also these are merely my opinions on the subject so your state and local laws may have some specific issues with printing, flashing and bulges.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Thanks all for the great explanations. I could see where paranoid folks could cause a scene, so I will do a better job of concealment.
Excellent explanation! Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed post.

Last week I wrote about Miriam's post on the different shades of green. The point of her post was to be aware of the different color values of the leaves that will be next to each other in a pot or in adjacent pots. Green in not just "green." There are so many different greens, and placing different greens next to one another can be visually pleasing and give your balcony a pleasant, restful appearance.
I've been thinking about Miriam's post a lot. For the most part I think I did a good job combining pleasing leaf colors, although I really like variegated and non-green leaves, so I've stretched Miriam's point a bit. Here are some photos of different leaf color combos that I really enjoy in my garden.
I hope you'll share (in the comments section) your favorite combos too! if you've already posted photos of your balcony or patio garden on your blog or a photo sharing site, don't be shy, give us a link!

Kicking Down Doors
null, Iowa -
(KWWL)One high school girl in Dubuque is gaining some attention for her perfect performance so far this season on the freshman football team.
14-year-old Hempstead High School student Kayley Weiland is a kicker and has helped her team go 2-0 so far, adding in six extra points.
Weiland has played seven years of basketball and eight years of soccer. This year, she decided to try something new.
"My mom wanted me to go out for football, she's very encouraging, and my dad was like, 'Eh, I don't know,'" Kayley said Friday. "But then, after our first game, he was like, 'Yeah, Kayley!'"
Weiland works every bit as hard as the boys, but she does have her differences.
"Every time I get down on the line, the guys always make fun of me because I have nail polish on," Weiland said, smiling.
Weiland has made six out of six kicks in her two games this season.
Tom Meissner is Hempstead High School's athletic director and an assistant principal.
"I think it's rare, you know, not only here at Hempstead but at many high schools," Meissner said, of a girl playing a boys' sport. "I think since I've been the activities director, I think we've had one other young lady that did participate in football for one season during her freshman year."

Card Tips:Ultimate Tyranno
Redirected from Ultimate Tyranno OTK
99,558pages onAdd New Page
this wiki
this wiki
- This card can be searched by "Dogu", "Single Purchase", "Temple of the Kings", "Transmodify", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Souleating Oviraptor", "Petiteranodon", "Ultra Evolution", "Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation", "Miracle Jurassic Egg", and "Miscellaneousaurus".
- This card can be Tribute Summoned with one Tribute using "The Trojan Horse" and "The First Monarch".
- You can easily summon "Ultimate Tyranno" on the field by using cards like "Big Evolution Pill" and "Hunting Instinct".
- This card can also be quickly special summoned with "Fossil Excavation" with its effect negated so you can use it freely: simply set this trap, find a way to send "Ultimate Tyranno" to the graveyard (such as using "Card Destruction" to send it from your hand) and then activate "Fossil Excavation" on the next turn and special summon "Ultimate Tyranno".
- Special Summon two "Gilasauruses" or one "Gilasaurus" combined with "Inferno Reckless Summon" with their effect to fill the opponent's field quickly with monsters, and provide tributes for "Ultimate Tyranno", who can dispose of the opponent's newly summoned monsters.
- In a Ninja-themed deck, "Ninjitsu Art of Super-Transformation" can be used to aid in quickly special summoning this card from the deck.
- This card is good in a "Evol" Deck, by tributing one "Najasho" or two when you summon this card, to activate its effect to then special summon "Evolsaur" monsters from your deck. If you tributed two "Najasho" you can special summon two "Evolsaur" monsters and then use them to Xyz Summon or improve your field combined with other "Evolsaur" special summoning.
- Summoning "Evolsaur Vulcano" and "Evolsaur Elias" with this tactic can quickly allow you to swarm the field with up to four monsters, depending on how many "Najasho" were tributed.
- The Ultimate Tyranno OTK centers around the effect of "Ultimate Tyranno" to attack any and all of the opponents monsters. Whereas quite a number of combos are theoretically possible, the most realistic seems to be: Summon three Ojama tokens using "Ojama Trio". Switch them to Attack Position using "Final Attack Orders"/"All-Out Attacks" or Equip "Big Bang Shot" to "Ultimate Tyranno". Attack the tokens to inflict more than 8000 Battle Damage to your opponent.
- With "Daigusto Sphreez" on the field in a tailored Gusto deck, a player can potentially pull off an Ultimate Tyranno OTK play while they also have at least one other Gusto search effect monster on the field (specifically "Gusto Gulldo", "Gusto Egul" or "Winda, Priestess of Gusto") too in face-up attack position.
- During your turn, find any way possible to put "Ultimate Tyranno" in your graveyard (recommended to use "Trade-In" or "Foolish Burial", but you can use "Hand Destruction", "Into the Void" or a card with a discard cost if you accidently drew it) and stop your opponent from banishing it or returning it to your deck.
- During your opponent's Draw Phase, activate "Give and Take" to Special Summon "Ultimate Tyranno" from your graveyard to your opponent's side of the field and increase the Level of whatever monster you choose by 8.
- Activate "Battle Mania" next during their Standby Phase.
- During their Main Phase 1 complete the field set up by negating anything that will remove "Ultimate Tyranno" or "Daigusto Sphreez" from the field or place either in face-down defense position to avoid battle.
- On their Battle Phase they will now be forced to attack "Daigusto Sphreez" for 1,000LP damage, following by the reflected battle damage from every other Gusto monster battled, destroyed and Special Summoned in attack position during the same turn until you run out of Gusto monsters to summon or your opponent runs out of life points (14,900LP reflected battle damage is possible with this tactic through "Gusto Gulldo", "Gusto Egul" and "Winda, Priestess of Gusto" being repeatedly summoned in the correct sequence and an additional 1,800LP damage if the final monster summoned is "Kamui, Hope of Gusto").
- Use "Survival of the Fittest" to increase this card's ATK by 1000, which well help this card deal with monsters such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "Super Conductor Tyranno", and other monsters that have 3000 to 3900 ATK points. If your life points are and will remain lower, "Megamorph" will increase this card's ATK to 8000, more than enough to destroy most monsters in battle or even OTK the opponent, even if there are monsters that can't be destroyed by battle. Use cards such as "Fairy Meteor Crush" or "Meteorain" to ensure your opponent takes damage even if their monsters are in defense position.
- With "Daigusto Sphreez" on the field in a tailored Gusto deck, a player can potentially pull off an Ultimate Tyranno OTK play while they also have at least one other Gusto search effect monster on the field (specifically "Gusto Gulldo", "Gusto Egul" or "Winda, Priestess of Gusto") too in face-up attack position.
- Combine this card with "Lineage of Destruction" if you need to attack a Defense Position monster, so after it attacks it along with all of your opponent's other monsters (if there are any) and destroys them it can attack again once more directly.
- Use "Rising Energy" and other ATK power boosting cards with this tactic to increase the odds of "Ultimate Tyranno" being able to strike for a OTK direct attack.

I Haven't Gotten There (Yet)
A psychiatrist I know is going through a phase-of-life change. It's one you only get to once. He's made the comment that in looking back, he made some mistakes and said some things he shouldn't have to patients who were going through this same phase-of-life change, long before he did. The event of it has made him more empathic to what his patients were feeling, something he didn't comprehend until he was in the same shoes.
I know the feeling. People look to their psychiatrists for wisdom, and you know, we don't always have it. Patients will ask for suggestions about marriage or child-rearing from psychiatrists who may be single, childless, or on their eighth divorce. It doesn't mean we don't have the answers-- sometimes these things are better dealt with from a safe distance-- but sometimes it might. I look back at some of the things I said to the parents of teenagers, back when mine were oh-so-cute-and-loving toddlers...and I wince...oh, my, I was so clueless back in the day. Can I recall my patients? I'm sorry, I said some stupid things back then. I shrug a lot more than I used to. I don't know if it's helpful, but I do know it's more honest.

Soon after her re-induction, the BJP top brass made her the party's UP in-charge.
Speaking to reporters in Uttar Pradesh, the fire-brand politician said, "I have faith in Hindutva and Ram. We want Ram Rajya here. The issue of Ram temple is of faith but it's not the party's political agenda for the state. We will focus on crime and corruption, which would be our agenda for the 2012 polls."
And added, "I have never compromised with Hindutva and the Ram temple issue. Had I done so when I was not in BJP for about five and a half years, my condition would have been better. The discrepancies and corruption in development (in UP) will be exposed by the party."
Turning her attention to Congress, she reacted to their raking up of issues of corruption and crime and said, "A thief cannot point a finger at another thief.. It can be done by a policeman."
And if it's UP, then how can BJP function without reacting to the statements of Congress General Secretary? Uma Bharti did the same and said, "He (Digvijay Singh) is stepney of Rahul Gandhi...he does not have any value in Uttar Pradesh... It's a coincidence that I defeat him wherever he goes. I defeated him in Madhya Pradesh and then in Bihar, where he was incharge...and now its the turn of Uttar Pradesh."
And added, "Whenever he makes any statement, a party spokesman disowns it. I think the party has left him on his own. It seems his tongue is not in Congress' control."

Nuclear Regulators Push Back Decision on San Onofre RestartMark Chediak
Edison International will have to wait an extra month to find out if it will be allowed to start a unit at its 2,200-megawatt nuclear power plant that has been closed since January 2012 on safety concerns.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it will issue a decision on whether Unit 2 at the San Onofre nuclear plant is safe by the end of May, a month later than planned, according to an updated timeline posted on the commission's website today.
The NRC needs the extra time to conduct more inspections at the plant, Victor Dricks, a commission spokesman in Arlington, Texas, said in a telephone interview. The commission will hold a public meeting in Southern California regarding the inspections in mid-April, Dricks said.
Wholesale power at Southern California's SP15 hub increased 3.3 percent to $47 a megawatt-hour for April through June at 1:59 p.m. local time. Third-quarter prices gained 2.8 percent to $55.50.
Southern California Edison, which operates San Onofre, is "confident in its submitted response and restart plan and is currently working on our response to technical questions from the NRC," Jennifer Manfre, a spokeswoman for the Rosemead, California-based utility, said in an e-mailed statement.
Edison hasn't provided dates for the start of Unit 2 or Unit 3, which has been shut since January when the company discovered a leak and steam generator tube damage. Similar damage was found on Unit 2, which had been offline for maintenance.
Edison's shares rose 0.7 percent to $47.03 at the close in New York.
Fuel Removed
In October, Edison submitted a plan to the NRC to restart Unit 2 at 70 percent of capacity to avoid shaking damaged pipes. Five months after a restart, Edison plans to shut the unit again to inspect the steam generator for tube wear. The utility is considering repairs to Unit 3, where fuel has been removed from the reactor.
The commission said today it will notify parties of its intent to issue a decision in late April and issue the decision five to 30 days later. The commission's previous timeline was for notification in March and a decision five to 30 days later.
San Onofre, located about 60 miles (97 kilometers) south of Los Angeles, can produce power for 1.4 million homes, according to Edison's website.

Drastic changes have begun for the New York Jets with the team looking to turn over a new leaf in 2013.
After parting ways with GM Mike Tannenbaum and offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, the Jets organization vowed to rectify the quarterback situations after benching Mark Sanchez in favor of Greg McElroy and leaving Tim Tebow high and dry without much of a future in New York.
Head coach Rex Ryan dodged the bullet following a second consecutive season without a playoff berth. The blame for the poor seasons landed at the feet of Tannenbaum instead of Ryan.
Although the team indicated a desire to seek trade options for Sanchez in the off-season, the Jets' front office have changed their tune and will likely keep him around for at least one more season in New York.
With Marty Mornhinweg taking over for the fired Sparano, Sanchez has already gone out of his way to reach out to retired quarterback Jeff Garcia to help with the adjustment to Mornhinweg's offense according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News:
Mark Sanchez started rebuilding his career by reaching out to a four-time Pro Bowler for a graduate level course on the Jets' new offense.
The Daily News has learned that Sanchez called retired quarterback Jeff Garcia this week to get a head start on the scheme of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.
Garcia played 12 seasons in the NFL for six different teams retiring at 41-years old with the Houston Texans back in 2011.
Mornhinweg was the offensive coordinator for the 49ers and Eagles while Garcia was the starting quarterback for those teams. Sanchez hopes to learn the ropes of the offense in order to bounce back from the worst season of his career in the NFL.
In 15 games during the 2012 NFL season, Sanchez threw for 2,883 yards, 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
The Jets' coaching staff was reluctant to bench Sanchez, but his play continued to get worse as the season progressed forcing Rex Ryan and company to pull the 26-year-old in favor of McElroy.

So I'm finally getting around to checking out your Brahms' analysis (I've been so busy the last two months have been a blur lol).
Also, I just finished up my analysis of Beethoven's 9th, and now I'm starting on Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique and I'm so excited! haha
sup News, how's it hangin'
So, you're a big fan of Bach, irrc. I don't suppose you could point me to a few examples of contrapuntal inversions? Hopefully I can look them up on the free sheet music site I found.
Also, do you know of a user named Hail? The little prick flamed me for asking about contrapuntal inversions in MT.

currently i'm working on an analysis of Beethoven's 8th, which is pretty crazy for me. next semester we start with the 9th (which even just looking at the score makes me tremble, shit is so gargantuan), and then move onto Brahms, Wagner, and Mahler, along with a few others I can't recall at the moment.

What Are They Thinking?
By Wanda Jankowski , Editor-in-Chief
What Are The Greatest Challenges Facing
The Industry Today?
A Supplier's View
"With cotton prices being at an historic high, we face the challenge of strategically raising prices that are desperately needed, but at the same time, we cannot afford to alienate the consumer. Besides the cost of cotton, other raw materials have jumped on the coattails of high cotton prices and have also increased dramatically. How our industry manages the challenge of adapting to the unprecedented increase in raw materials, especially cotton, will determine our industry's success in the future.
"Over the past decade and a half, home textiles has truly become a global or multi-national industry. In the years ahead it will be critical that we totally understand and anticipate the ever-changing international marketplace for sourcing and for selling our products. One can bet that today's global environment will not remain static. Adapting to the future global dynamics will be critical.
"Educating the end users about our products is essential to the health of our industry. The consumer has been poorly served by our industry and the retail community. There is too much misinformation or lack of understanding about qualities, value and performance attributes of our products. Value is not all about the lowest price, but what the consumer receives for the price. A more informed consumer will be a more satisfied customer."
—Rich Roman, president and ceo, Revman International, and president, Home Fashion Products Association
A Retailer's View
"For us, it's maintaining our identity in one of the most difficult business climates in over 30 years, made even more difficult due to the pricing crisis.
"There will be a need for us to find second-tier lines. However, these lines must be supportive and not a replacement of the highest quality lines we carry. There has to be a balance between offering some value, without overshadowing the highest luxury items. For example, we carry Sferra, which has a top and a lower line, so we are looking into perhaps stocking more of those lines.
"Since we don't quite know the effect of all these price increases, we don't want to overdo it with second-tier lines—we need to maintain who we are and what we do, and it isn't easy.
"We've been seeing a slight increase in business in 2010, but this is after two bad years of business, so we just have to wait and see. We do not want to be a price-conscious store, and we are not at price wars with anyone else. We have to stay true to ourselves or we'll die."
—Dan Cassidy, owner, Cassidy's Bed, Bath & Linens
I've read and heard that some industry pundits think many consumers will buy anything that is put in front of them, no matter how de-speced or compromised in quality. It's attributed to ignorance—they haven't been educated enough by retailers and manufacturers about the benefits of quality goods.
I sympathize with consumers. No one among us has the time to thoroughly investigate pros and cons of every item we buy. Even when consumers are hungry for information, it's not always easy to get ample details in order to compare brands.
Part of the art of selling is to impress upon the potential purchaser the benefits of the product up for consideration. But ever tried searching for information on the limitations of a particular product to get a full picture? Good luck with that. In spite of website customer reviews and consumer report-type magazines, even the most informed consumers are left to "take a chance" now and then, relying on common sense or past experience to choose which brand best suits their needs.
There is a need for better education to promote sales of quality products. However, making a sale goes deeper than just providing product knowledge.
It may be that the consumers' priorities are different than what you think they are. Some consumers may be willing to buy cheaper quality goods not because they don't know the benefits of good quality, but because they believe their money and attention are better invested elsewhere—they just don't care that much what kitchen towel or pillowcase they use as long as it's "good enough" and at the "right price."
The challenge for suppliers and retailers is first to understand why consumers who will seemingly buy anything don't consider quality in home textiles a priority. It's about knowing how they think the products you sell fit into their daily lives and priorities and addressing that mindset, rather than about your view of how products you sell benefit their lives. Sharing more product knowledge is only part of the solution.
Pam Danziger, president, Unity Marketing, indicates that challenges regarding understanding the consumer mindset exist for retailers and manufacturers not only at the low or mid-range price level, but at the luxury level as well.
The luxury market has changed significantly from the years prior to 2007. "In my many years of consumer research, I have never faced a business segment so under- and mis-informed about the customers they serve," she writes in her new book, Putting The Luxe Back Into Luxury. "Marketers' fantasies about how the luxury consumer lives and behaves cloud their judgments.
"Often I find [luxury] marketers attribute all kinds of motives to the aspirations of their customers, when what they really are doing is projecting their own aspirations onto the customer," Danziger explains.
So in this post-recession new world, set aside what you think are the reasons for your customers' choices and find out what's really going on in their heads—their thinking may have changed. Then apply your selling and communications skills to educate and adjust their thinking, priming them to become your best customers.

Super Bowl Sunday crackdown on impaired drivers in Riverside County
Avoid the 30 task force on alert for partygoers
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - (CNS) - Super Bowl celebrants who drink and drive will be targeted in a law enforcement crackdown today aimed at keeping drunk- and drug- impaired motorists off Riverside County roads.
The county's Avoid the 30 task force -- named for the number of participating agencies -- is planning saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoints to snare inebriated drivers before, during and after the NFL championship game, according to Riverside police Sgt. Skip Showalter, the Avoid coordinator. ``Motorists can expect all police officers, sheriff's deputies and the California Highway Patrol to have a visible presence and to stop anyone who makes the dangerous decision to drink and drive,'' Showalter said.
Sunday's operations are part of the National Highway Traffic Safetyministration and National Football League's ``Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk'' campaign. Showalter said anti-DUI saturation patrols are scheduled in a variety of locations, while sobriety checkpoints will be deployed in Riverside and San Jacinto.
Law enforcement officials offered the following tips to people planning
to host Super Bowl parties:
-- Ensure guests have a designated driver or can arrange for ride-sharing;
-- serve plenty of food and non-alcoholic beverages at the party;
-- stop serving alcohol before the end of the game's third quarter; and
-- take the keys away from guests showing obvious signs of drunkenness
and call them a cab if necessary.
On Super Bowl Sunday night 2010, then-Riverside police Chief Russ Leach ran a red light and crashed his city-owned vehicle, driving on the rims for several miles, while intoxicated. He resigned days later and eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DUI, resulting in his being sentenced to home detention and probation.

After a local family bought 40 plots in Zeeland Cemetery earlier this year, the Zeeland City Council enacted a temporary limit of 10 plots per couple — and city officials need time to plan for the inevitable day when sales must end.
"The cemetery is such a loved area, and we do so many things there," said John Query, chairman of Zeeland's cemetery and parks commission, which recommended the move. "It's the heart and soul of the city."

Linking Student Satisfaction and RetentionA study examining the correlation between student satisfaction and student success
How are student satisfaction and student retention connected? Can indicators related to student satisfaction predict student persistence?
This study by Dr. Laurie Schreiner and Noel-Levitz examines how student satisfaction can not only help campuses predict student retention, but how these indicators provide a more accurate prediction than simply studying demographic or institutional characteristics.
Dr. Schreiner, professor and director of doctoral programs at California's Azusa Pacific University, examined data from more than 27,000 students. This paper details her findings and discusses how specific satisfaction indicators are correlated to student retention.

Calling 911 on cell phone may route call to another area dispatch
POCATELLO, Idaho - "911, what's the address of your emergency?"
That's the first thing 911 dispatch asks, and you better know in case your signal gets lost in translation.
The vast majority of 911 calls are made on cell phones now, and that presents a problem because you don't necessarily get the dispatch center you expect.
When you call 911 from a cell phone, the signal is sent to the nearest cell phone tower, and transferred to the nearest dispatch. But that may not be your city or even your county's dispatch.
First, it's important to understand that cell phones use radio frequency (RF) waves. We went to Clark Wireless Technologies, a company that builds, installs and maintains 911 systems in Eastern Idaho in Western Wyoming. Aaron Clark, general manager, explained that those RF waves transmit to the tower that has a good line-of-sight.
"RF performs like a flashlight," said Clark. "Wherever you point the device is where the RF waves travel. So, wherever the closest tower is, is where the cell phone is going to connect to."
However, that tower may be located farther away from you than the nearest dispatch, especially in mountainous areas or areas near county and state borders. That's why it's important to know your location as best as you can, whether that's telling dispatch the nearest intersection, nearest mile marker or the nearest city.
Clark said while cell phones have made reporting an emergency more immediate, it's not a cell phone that will save your life: it's your knowledge of your surroundings.
"If you can provide that information to the dispatcher they're going to be able to get you help much quicker," Clark said.
Some areas may experience different dispatch responders more regularly based on the number of dispatched. Bonneville County, for example, has one dispatch center for all the cities in the county as well as the county itself. Bannock County, however, has dispatch centers for Pocatello, Chubbuck and the rest of the county.
After speaking with the Pocatello Police, we also learned this problem can go both ways. During the Charlotte Fire, many folks didn't have their cell phones registered with the county to contact in the case of an emergency.
That meant many evacuation calls went to home phones, while many people were at work. So, it could be more likely to get you help in an emergency if your cell phone is registered with your county, as well as allow the county to get a hold of you in case of an emergency you don't know about.
