Check for ease when buying whitening kits
Make sure to look for how well the trays fit, the concentration of the bleach, how well the whitening product stays in the tray without seeping out, and how easy the kit is to use overall.
Toothpaste: the answer to whitening-related sensitivity
Have the office apply topical fluoride after whitening. Use a system that has been proven to minimize sensitivity or prescribe fluoride toothpaste for after treatment use. If you have the whitening trays, then put the prescription toothpaste in the trays.

February 1, 2013 By Jessica Mulholland
After five years as San Francisco's CIO, Jon Walton left the city on Jan. 11 to take a new job as CIO of San Mateo County, Calif., and director of the county's Information Services Department.
Under Walton's leadership, San Francisco created a citywide IT training program in partnership with employee organizations; completed its first five-year Information and Communications Technology Plan; and received many awards for its mobile, Web and SFGovTV services. We asked Walton about his legacy in San Francisco and his plans for San Mateo.
I'm most proud of setting up a really good IT governance structure so all the departments felt like they had a voice; people were very involved and engaged; and we made some good progress internally on a shared version. Externally the thing I come back to most is we have this whole program about connecting the community to technology — like our Wi-Fi projects, mobile app project, our hackathons and our BTOP [Broadband Technology Opportunities Program], which is to put high-tech homework centers in youth centers. It is just all about connecting the community via technology and I think that's been really important for San Francisco.
I like challenges and I like change — that's just my personality. When I met with San Mateo and talked about what they wanted to accomplish, it really got me excited because there's so much opportunity there.
From an operational standpoint, two things we were able to do in San Francisco: [One of them] was turn around the feelings of the customers about the quality of service they were getting from the IT department. Five years ago, our scores were fairly low in customer satisfaction, so we spent a lot of time over the past few years trying to turn that feeling around. One of the things I heard when I came down to San Mateo was the IT staff was working really hard, and even though they were doing their best, the customer satisfaction was just not as high as it should be. The other thing, quite frankly, is around cost saving. And here in San Mateo County, we still have a bunch of deficit we need to close. In San Francisco in the last five years, we reduced the IT spend by over $25 million. The gap is not that big in San Mateo, but I have a $1.1 million budget gap at least in my department over the next few years. So I am hoping to take some of those lessons learned from San Francisco to not only save money but to make things better through technology and save the county money.

Zhang Sanfeng
Linji Yixuan - Great Master of Buddhism
Sun Bin - Outstanding Military Strategist of Ancient China
Zhang Sanfeng was a semi-mythical Chinese Taoist priest who is believed by some to have achieved immortality, said variously to date from either the late Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty or Ming Dynasty. His name is said to have been Zhang Junbao before he became a Taoist.
Zhang was indifferent to fame and wealth. After declining official position and dispatching his property to his clan, he traveled around China to live the life of an ascetic. Zhang spent several years at Hua Mountain before settling in Wu Tang Mountain.
Much of the written material about him is mythical, contradictory, or otherwise suspect. For instance, he is reported by different people to have been born either in 960, 1247, or in 1279. He has at times been described as being seven-feet tall, with the bones of a crane and the posture of a pine tree, having whiskers shaped like a spear, and being able to cover 1000 li in a day (roughly 580 km or 350 miles). He is reputed to have worn a straw hat, and is usually depicted with one slung on his back, but two villages are reported in the 19th century Wu-yang Gazeteer to have believed that his hat was actually a cymbal, which only residents of the villages (famous for manufacturing cymbals) had permission to sound upon meeting him.
Some sources record two Chinese emperors sending missions to Zhang Sanfeng to ask for his advice, although neither mission is reported to have found him.
Owing to his legendary status, his name frequently appears in Chinese novels and Wuxia films of swordsmen as a spiritual teacher and master of martial arts.
Today, Chinese readers and general public are most acquainted with Jin Yong's version of Zhang Sanfeng, thanks to the popularity of his Wuxia novels. In his book The Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, Zhang Sanfeng was a former Shaolin disciple in the late Song Dynasty, and born on April 9, 1247 at midnight (Day 9 of month 3 in Chinese calendar). He later left Shaolin Temple and established the Taoist monasteries in Wudang Mountains. In the book he had seven disciples, and was alive until the late Yuan Dynasty. According to many regional gazettes, Zhang Sanfeng was seen at the end year of tianshun reign (1457-1464), having lived for more than 200 years.

Although we have seen PC mouse with a real spider inside, mouse usable on any surface and more, unfortunately all were traditional hand mouse. But now, it's time for a computer mouse revolution. It's time for the next generation 3D mouse, called Mycestro, which can be worn on finger tips!
Mycestro is a Bluetooth enabled 3D mouse which is made to be worn on finger. It is designed by Nick Mastandrea. It is a very light weight mouse, and it can work from a maximum distance of 30 feet. This 3D mouse consists of a touch sensitive panel with an internal battery. Mycestro can be activated by users' thumb only. To use the Mycestro, users simply need to touch anywhere on the panel. Users can even control the cursor position by moving their hand in the direction they want it to go.
To make selections, users just need to release the touch panel and then tap it again on the left, middle or right button section as per their need. Users can simply slide their thumb up or down on the panel to scroll up or down. When users' will not touch the Mycestro, the cursor and cursor function will remain "pause" until the users start to use it again. The internal battery of this mouse can be charged via USB port. With full charge, the battery can run 8 hours for normal use.
Mycestro is compatible with PCs, Andriod and iOS devices. The device is currently supported in Windows XP/Windows 7/Windows 8/Mac and Linux. Right now, Mycestro is seeking funds for $100,000 through Kickstarter. But the good news is 2,610 backers have already funded a total amount of $219,390 (as of writing).
Interested backers can buy a Mycestro for $79 (White) or $99 (Black, Cyan, Magenta or Yellow). The funding will end on March 29, 2013. Watch the video below to see how it works.

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Quail Creek Country Club & Resort -- Wow
|Review by: Davis family
|I heard that this was one of the best courses in the area. After playing it I can agree. This course offers all you can ask for in one round of golf. The course is absolutely beautiful and the staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are in the area or want to get away for the weekend this is a must play not to mention a steal for the price. They also have a resort on the property for weekend getaways. Have fun and keep it in the fairway on this one. This course play 7 or 8 shots harder from the rough.

Mental Health Special Interest Group
The mental health special interest group attends to the policy interests of those working on mental health.
Despite recent boosts to national funding, mental health remains underfunded, poorly coordinated and inadequately resourced.
The complex nature of the mental health system – sitting across health and social services – necessitates innovative solutions which draw on the combined knowledge of the diverse actors working across the system.
A significant aim of the group is therefore to bring together researchers, practitioners, consumers and policy makers in productive dialogue with the aim of developing these solutions.
This Special Interest Group grows out of the discussion at the Sydney Health Policy Network's first annual conference Mind Over Money: Reforming national health funding and its implications for mental health held in November 2011.

Upcoming Event
Title: Taking Over the Asylum: New approaches to autonomy and capacity in mental illness in the era of disability rights.
Speaker: Sascha Callaghan
Date: May 27th 12-1pm
Venue: Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Sydney, Cumberland Campus, Room F126
Speaker Bio: Sascha is a lawyer and doctoral researcher in mental health law at the Centre for Values, Ethics & the Law in Medicine at the University of Sydney. Her primary research interest is in the criteria for involuntary treatment for mental illness, and has contributed to several legislative reviews, arguing for rights based laws that support the autonomy of people with psycho-social disability.
Talk Abstract: The law of involuntary treatment for mental illness is currently based on presence of illness and risk of harm. Sascha argues that this approach is counterproductive, discriminatory and denies persons with mental illness a basic right to autonomy, which she suggests would be better met by focussing on the capacities of persons with mental illness to make their own decisions and supporting those capacities wherever possible. Sascha further suggests that the "right to autonomy" is essential not just in abstract rights terms, but because autonomy is necessary to human dignity and our sense of self worth. These things are a basic condition for human flourishing and for recovery from mental illness.

(NEW YORK) — New England Patriots linebacker Jermaine Cunningham's four-game suspension is over, and the team has been granted a one-week roster exemption.
This means that Cunningham wouldn't count against the 53-man roster unless the Patriots decide to activate him for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
Cunningham was suspended for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
The 24-year-old Cunningham has 23 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two fumbles recovered in 11 games this season.

Originally posted on Turn On The Jets | Last updated 11/19/12
4-6 is not the type of record to go celebrating in the Meatpacking District over. The way New York athletes often do after big victories. Ending a three game skid and moving beyond a "Terrible Tim" storm that threatened to derail focus on the Rams is. The Jets win over St Louis has seemingly calmed the Florham Park madness down for the time being but more importantly, has moved Gang Green to within two games of a wildcard spot with six games remaining. The hated Pats minus Gronk are next, but a season on the brink was given a breath of life yesterday. Let's at least be thankful for that at the start of this holiday week. 1 – Unraveling the Mystery That Is Mark Sanchez Give Mark Sanchez an effective run game, a defense that gets stops, some screen passes with proper spacing, a few roll outs, and receivers who hold onto the ball, and you get a 118 rating. The entire team has to be functioning well in order for Sanchez to manage a game with confidence but when they do, the Jets starting QB can do his job well. We wonder what minimizing the Tebow substitutions did to his rythym too as well. Should plays or packages that call for 15 more often reappear this season, it will be worth keeping an eye on how the production of Sanchez changes. Hopefully the staff monitors any differences should they arise, as well. 2 – Bart Scott's Brief Boycott The Jets animated veteran LB gave his defense post game orders to use the catch phrase "both teams played hard" with the press. The boycott failed after a brief stand, but it's intent, to combat a media that used unnamed sources to try and splinter a team already struggling with a three game losing streak and an undermanned roster, is understandable. It's hard to blame the longtime veteran for being angry about the purposeful disruption. The players though, should all know by now, that the Jets are painted as a circus tent who at times, bring the cartoonish characterization upon themselves. For a colorful team with an open door media policy like the Jets, the all or nothing Big Apple coverage is heightened to the utmost degree. On the flip side, there is nothing like winning in New York. An upset over the Patriots Thursday will change the storyline from "implosion" to "another Rex late season charge" towards the playoffs. 3 – Three Headed Monster: A Wish Finally Granted We asked for GM Mike Tannenbaum to acquire one more veteran RB this offseason in order to bolster the ground and pound concept that Tony Sparano was hoping to reinvigorate this year. We didn't get our wish. Finally in week 11, we got the next best thing. A three pronged attack that included speedy Joe McKnight and shifty Bilal Powell into the mix. Shonn Greene has been effective as of late, and the help he got Sunday proved that the Jets can aid Mark Sanchez by moving the chains on the ground while setting up play action. Let's hope this approach continues. There ought to be no going back to the "Greene as Bell Cow Back" daydream ever again. 4 – Gronk's Injury Rob Gronkowski got injured in the waning moments of a 59-24 Patriot blowout win against the Colts Sunday. The great TE's broken forearm was an unnecessary one, especially when you consider that it happened on the extra point blocking team in a 35 point game. On the one hand we respect Bill Belichick for working on his offense's playbook and crispness with his starters, even when a victory is in the bag. On the other hand, the mindset comes at a great risk to the health of key starters. New England lost Wes Welker in a meaningless final game three years back, and could have used him during their first round playoff exit at the hands of the Ravens at home weeks later. Team history was there for Belichick to lean on before deciding to take that type of chance again. What Gronk's injury means for the Jets is two fold heading into their must win matchup on Thanksgiving night. First, that the only unguardable player in one on one coverage will be out . A reality that will help the Jets at times. Second, that Belichick has often been able to offset an injury in the short term by utilizing backups and other positions anyway. The Patriots are still the Patriots as long as Tom Brady is the QB and Belichick is the HC. Don't let any one injury, even to the league's best player at his position, allow you to think otherwise. 5 – Other Jets/Pats Thoughts The Jets will take this win over the Rams to believe in themselves again. Rex Ryan told them prior to Sunday, that it was the "Jets against the world" again and the often used tool in Ryan kit worked. As it has on many other occasions. The players' confidence in Ryan and the coaches game planning, will have a huge effect in how the Jets prepare mentally for Thursday night. Ryan will now also remind his team that they had the last meeting between the two clubs won, were it not for one failed stop on the game's final regulation drive. BEFORE Rob Gronkowski, the unguardable one, was lost due to his work on XPT team blocking duties, while up 35 points with seconds left against the Colts. Rex should also make the team aware that in the short term, Bill Belichick is a master at covering up a key loss by making weapons out of anyone and everyone at his disposal. That keeping a peddle down on the gas is the only to continue climbing out of the big hole Gang Green has made for themselves.

CNS Effects: Manifestations of adverse effects on the central nervous system, other than extrapyramidal effects, have been seen infrequently. Drowsiness, usually mild, may occur at the beginning of therapy or when dosage is increased. It usually subsides with continued loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) therapy. The incidence of sedation has been less than that of certain aliphatic phenothiazines and slightly more than the piperazine phenothiazines. Dizziness, faintness, staggering gait, shuffling gait, muscle twitching, weakness, insomnia, agitation, tension, seizures, akinesia, slurred speech, numbness, and confusional states have been reported. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) has been reported (see WARNINGS).
Extrapyramidal Symptoms - Neuromuscular (extrapyramidal) reactions during the administration of loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) have been reported frequently, often during the first few days of treatment. In most patients, these reactions involved parkinsonian-like symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, excessive salivation, and masked facies. Akathisia (motor restlessness) also has been reported relatively frequently. These symptoms are usually not severe and can be controlled by reduction of loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) dosage or by administration of antiparkinson drugs in usual dosage.
DystoniaClass effect: Symptoms of dystonia, prolonged abnormal contractions of muscle groups, may occur in susceptible individuals during the first few days of treatment. Dystonic symptoms include: spasm of the neck muscles, sometimes progressing to tightness of the throat, swallowing difficulty, difficulty breathing, and/or protrusion of the tongue. While these symptoms can occur at low doses, they occur more frequently and with greater severity with high potency and at higher doses of first generation antipsychotic drugs. An elevated risk of acute dystonia is observed in males and younger age groups.
Persistent Tardive Dyskinesia- As with all antipsychotic agents, tardive dyskinesia may appear in some patients on long-term therapy or may appear after drug therapy has been discontinued. The risk appears to be greater in elderly patients on high-dose therapy, especially females. The symptoms are persistent and in some patients appear to be irreversible. The syndrome is characterized by rhythmical involuntary movement of the tongue, face, mouth or jaw (e.g., protrusion of tongue, puffing of cheeks, puckering of mouth, chewing movements). Sometimes these may be accompanied by involuntary movements of extremities.
There is no known effective treatment for tardive dyskinesia; antiparkinson agents usually do not alleviate the symptoms of this syndrome. It is suggested that all antipsychotic agents be discontinued if these symptoms appear. Should it be necessary to reinstitute treatment, or increase the dosage of the agent, or switch to a different antipsychotic agent, the syndrome may be masked. It has been suggested that fine vermicular movements of the tongue may be an early sign of the syndrome, and if the medication is stopped at that time the syndrome may not develop.
Cardiovascular Effects: Tachycardia, hypotension, hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, lightheadedness, and syncope have been reported.
A few cases of ECG changes similar to those seen with phenothiazines have been reported. It is not known whether these were related to loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) administration.
Hematologic: Rarely, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia.
Skin: Dermatitis, edema (puffiness of face), pruritus, rash, alopecia, and seborrhea have been reported with loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) .
Anticholinergic Effects: Dry mouth, nasal congestion, constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention, and paralytic ileus have occurred.
Gastrointestinal: Nausea and vomiting have been reported in some patients. Hepatocellular injury (i.e., SGOT/SGPT elevation) has been reported in association with loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) administration and rarely, jaundice and/or hepatitis questionably related to loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) treatment.
Other Adverse Reactions: Weight gain, weight loss, dyspnea, ptosis, hyperpyrexia, flushed facies, headache, paresthesia, and polydipsia have been reported in some patients. Rarely, galactorrhea, amenorrhea, gynecomastia, and menstrual irregularity of uncertain etiology have been reported.
Read the Loxapine (loxapine succinate) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
There have been rare reports of significant respiratory depression, stupor and/or hypotension with the concomitant use of loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) and lorazepam.
The risk of using loxapine (loxapine (loxapine (loxapine succinate) succinate) succinate) in combination with CNS-active drugs has not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, caution is advised if the concomitant administration of loxapine (loxapine succinate) and CNS-active drugs is required.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

A couple of weeks ago I flew over to Munich to meet up with BMW and Intel. If you're a motorsport fan you're no doubt well aware that Intel is a major sponsor of the BMW Sauber Formula One team, but unlike many F1 sponsors, Intel's involvement with BMW goes far deeper than just paying copious amounts of money to put its logo on the car.
You see the thing about modern Formula One racing, is that it's as much, if not more, about technology than it is about driver or even team ability. Basically, you can tell early on in a season which teams have competitive cars, and which will be "also rans". I'm not suggesting that the driver and support team are irrelevant, far from it in fact - Michael Schumacher proved on several occasions that sheer driver skill and determination could, to some degree, compensate for a car that wasn't quite up to scratch.
BMW representatives have told me on various occasions that the partnership with Intel has resulted in big steps forward in the technology used to design the Formula One cars. Traditionally, any aerodynamic design changes to an F1 car would mean that the new part would be machined, put on the car and subjected to hours of wind tunnel testing. If the results of the wind tunnel were favourable, then the new part would be tested on the track for real world evaluation. Now however, parts can be tested without ever needing to machine them, let alone attach them to a car.
With the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) it's possible to assess the aerodynamic properties of new parts by simulating the airflow around the car, without the need to fire up the wind tunnel. In fact, last year BMW decided to invest heavily in new Intel hardware to run CFD simulations instead of building a second wind tunnel for physical testing. Of course computer simulated aerodynamic testing will never replace wind tunnel testing, or track testing, but it will significantly reduce the number of hours dedicated to it, while also reducing manufacturing costs.
If BMW Sauber's performance in the constructor's championship this year is anything to go by, this marriage of computer simulation with traditional testing is definitely working. And with fewer resources needed to develop new, more competitive cars, there's every chance that even the smaller teams will have a chance to do more than just make up numbers on the starting grid.

The Bush and Rumsfeld Together Again Edition
The Gabfest panelists have much to discuss this week: Jeb Bush's eyes on the White House, a new movie about Donald Rumsfeld, an app that will change how we read, and more.
On the political spectrum, the panelists discuss the possibility of a Jeb Bush presidential candidacy, and why it's offensive to call a female political "emotional."
On the cultural side, the panelists discuss The Unknown Known, a new movie from Errol Morris which paints a historical and controversial portrait of Donald Rumsfeld through the use of declassified memos. Throughout the interviews, the former secretary of defense remains cagey, cryptic, and above all unknown. Then, a discussion on the new HBO comedy Silicon Valley, Mike Judge's incisive parody of Palo Alto's startup culture. And lastly, the critics talk about Spritz, an app that promises to make its users speed-readers based on the science of the nonlinear layout of text.
You'll find links to some of the items mentioned in this episode on the Political Gabfest and Culture Gabfest show pages. You can also join the Gabfest discussion all week long at the Political Gabfest Facebook page and the Culture Gabfest Facebook page.

Video: SNL goofs on Obama for accomplishing nothing
posted at 12:55 pm on October 4, 2009 by Allahpundit
Omitted from the "not done" checklist here: Stopping Iran, resisting the urge to nationalize giant car companies, and keeping deficit projections for the next decade under a trillion dollars annually. But those are all concerns of the right and, needless to say, that's not where this skit is coming from, a point worth bearing in mind amid the grim enjoyment you'll feel at seeing The One spoofed on national TV. Mainstream comedy has actually reached the point where their big goof on Barack Obama is that he's not liberal enough.
Memo to Lorne Michaels: This impersonation, if it can even be called that, has now reached the depths of Chevy Chase's "imitation" of Gerald Ford. You can't bring in a freelancer for the Obama skits? Darrell Hammond in his Jesse Jackson get-up would be more convincing.

- California Supreme Court Rules Local Governments Are Not Required to Comply With CEQA Before Adopting a Voter-Sponsored Initiative
- August 12, 2014 | Authors: Kelsey R. Blegen; Sarah E. Owsowitz; Charity B. Schiller
- Law Firms: Best Best & Krieger LLP - Sacramento Office ; Best Best & Krieger LLP - Walnut Creek Office ; Best Best & Krieger LLP - Riverside Office
Local governments may adopt voter-sponsored initiatives without conducing environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the California Supreme Court has ruled. In a unanimous decision handed down Thursday, the court held in Tuolumne Jobs & Small Business Alliance v. Superior Court that the City of Sonora properly adopted a land-use ordinance brought by a voter-sponsored petition, even though the City did not undertake an environmental review.
The opinion clarifies that land-use initiatives proposed by voters are not subject to CEQA review, even when a local government adopts an initiative proposed by voters. The court also distinguished initiatives generated by city councils, confirming the existing rule that cities must comply with CEQA before placing a city-generated initiative on the ballot.
At issue in Tuolumne Jobs was the expansion of a Wal-Mart store into a Wal-Mart Supercenter. Before the City approved the project, a group of citizens brought an initiative petition to the City that would streamline approval of the project. The City had three choices: (1) adopt the initiative, (2) submit the initiative to a vote at a special election or (3) order a report prepared regarding the project, and, after review of the report, either adopt the initiative or submit it to the electorate. The City chose to have a report prepared and, afterward, adopted the ordinance that the initiative proposed.
Tuolumne Jobs & Small Business Alliance sued, arguing that the City should have conducted CEQA review before adopting the voter-sponsored initiative ordinance. After reviewing the statutory language, legislative history and public policy, the Supreme Court disagreed. It found that it would be impossible for a city to complete a CEQA review within the timeframes allowed for adopting a voter-sponsored initiative. It also noted that several bills that attempted to require CEQA or other environmental review of local initiatives had failed. In addition, the court determined that, from the inception of the initiative power, cities have had the option to directly adopt voter initiatives. Accordingly, the Supreme Court held that the City was not required to conduct a CEQA review before adopting the ordinance.

Springer: UC-Oklahoma Preview
Sept. 3, 2008
DATE OF GAME 2: Saturday, September 6th
VENUE: (Gaylord Family) Oklahoma Memorial Stadium
WHEN THEY BOOT IT: 3:30 p.m.
THE SERIES: Starts Saturday
by Scott Springer
If you're fortunate enough to be at this one this should be a fun atmosphere. With a capacity of 82,112, Oklahoma Memorial Stadium should be an experience for those of you that grew up watching Barry Switzer, the winningest coach in Sooner history (and perhaps the most bold and brash). Like him or not, Switzer won three national titles and no one (including Bob Stoops) has matched his winning percentage at OU.
For those traveling, this should be a big-time gameday experience that you'll probably never forget. Over the years I was able to visit places like Ohio State, Army (West Point), West Virginia, Penn State,
Wisconsin, Boston College, Kansas State, and Virginia Tech. In my book, they all rate high with their gameday atmosphere. The closest I ever made it to Oklahoma was a 1995 game in Tulsa that the Bearcats won 24-5. Former NFL defensive back Robert Tate returned a kickoff for a score in that one for you Bearcat historians (and an inadvertent Gatorade jug on the coach was poured on my radio equipment abruptly ending my post-game interviews).
For us, when we hear OU, we're thinking of Athens and the party reputation of the Bobcat faithful.
A word of warning: once you cross the Oklahoma line, OU takes on a completely different meaning.
If you don't want to get looked at like you're cross-eyed in Norman, don't reference the OU Bobcats.
One more note before I get on to your Bearcat breakdown, I write these in my style and from the perspective of a UC graduate, fan, and former broadcaster. The one thing I bring to the table is my enthusiasm for the program to do well and an ability to communicate to you just as I would if I we're sitting next to you at the 50.
Likewise, if I think UC's got issues, to the extent that I can, I'll certainly tell you about it.
If you were looking for the laboratory analysis of these games, you can go buy a preseason publication next time you're at the airport terminal or something. If you know your program like I do, I think you'll find them highly inaccurate and surprisingly uninformed.
Strap it on kids—here we go....
UC's offense vs. OU's defense
The Sooners won 57-2 last week, but let's face it, the Chattanooga Moccasins are not going to put the fear of God in any Big 12 team—let alone Oklahoma. Still, giving up just one first down and 36 total yards is pretty impressive. This is a game where UC's offensive line is going to have to give Dustin Grutza some time to get things done otherwise he'll have red/maroon OU helmets aiming at his mid-section all game. Defensive lineman Auston English led OU with six tackles and 2.5 sacks in the opener with the Mocs. Grutza's faced loud crowds and athletic linemen before at Penn State as a frosh and at OSU as a sophomore, so his scrambling ability will come into play. However, it's in these situations that Dustin's been turnover prone in the past. Perhaps last week's 0 INT performance in the opener will give him some confidence, but this Bearcat offense is worlds above the somewhat predictable units he was working with in his first two years. OU's secondary is pretty good with Lendy Holmes and Dominique Franks. Franks dropped an interception against Chattanooga, so they've yet to cause any turnovers. Also, you have to feel Dominick Goodman, Marcus Barnett, and Mardy Gilyard are considerably better than any of the wide-outs Chattanooga ran out. Against productive spread offenses last year the Sooners gave up points (34 in a loss to Texas Tech and 48 in the Fiesta Bowl vs. West Virginia).
NOD: Sooners are fast, but UC's quicker than people think. Playing in Norman, I call it even.
OU offense vs. UC defense
EKU scored just once against UC, but again, the EKU game is equivalent to Oklahoma's tilt with Chattanooga. Oklahoma has a far more effective, balanced attack coming at you which warrants their Top 5 ranking. Sophomore QB Sam Bradford was a very precision-like 17-of-22 for 183 yards and 2 TDs in the opener, while back-up Joey Halzle was 14-of-16 for 122 yards and a score. A combined
31-for-38 for 305 yards and 3 TDs will make any coordinator and QB coach smile. Plus, the Sooners
got 124 yards and 2 TDs from DeMarco Murray and 63 yards and a pair of scores from Chris Brown.
Outside of West Virginia, this is the most athletic team the Bearcats will face. Fortunately, UC has become much more fast-twitching over the years and this defense has to face Brian Kelly's 40-second, hurry-up offense nearly every day. Against Chattanooga, the only thing that stopped the Sooner offense was a lightning storm that made for a long halftime. The Bearcats actually have the talent to stop a drive here.
NOD: Early on, a Sooner edge, but I would expect UC to react and counter by the second half.
Special Teams
Kevin Huber was as advertised last week, back over 46 yards a boot and with hangtime that often threatens the lower cumulus clouds. However, the place-kicking was an early question (just like last year) as Jake Rogers had his first extra-point blocked and the second flat-out missed. It was Brandon Yingling from that point on and Brandon converted all of his tries. Because of his whacks into the endzone, Rogers will continue to kickoff. The Sooners also had a kicker miss an extra point (Jimmy Stevens), but did well on kickoffs with Matt Moreland inside the 10. Mike Knall is not the punter Huber is, but he's one of the best in the Big 12. Clearly last week, Knall was a lonely man.
NOD: 82,112 will be rooting for the guys not wearing black helmets. UC's last two games on grass (Pitt and USF last year) were mixed as far as kicking. The nod to OU in Norman.
Throw It Out And See Where It Sticks
Enough of UC's veterans have played in big stadiums to the point where crowd noise and other road intimidations shouldn't be a factor. In their most noteworthy road games of '07, UC was able to negate the crowds at then No. 21 Rutgers and No. 20 South Florida. Keeping the crowd out of it is the key and keeping the Sooner Schooner off the field is the other. Early on, the Schooner usually gets a workout when you consider 59 points last week and if you look at the first four in Norman last year the Sooners rang up 79, 51, 54, and 62 points before finally falling on the road at Colorado in Game 5. If you want to look at comparative games, UC lost to West Virginia, 28-23, and were within an Earnest Jackson grab over the middle of maybe pulling that out. Meantime, the Sooners were taken to the woodshed by the Mountaineers in the Fiesta Bowl, 48-28. So, for those few unfaithful of you that think playing with a team the caliber of Oklahoma is out of the realm of possibility, the proof is there. As always, years and personnel change though. Due to the "business" of college football in states such as Oklahoma, the Sooners will have sheer numbers on UC in terms of depth. Ones and twos are actually closer than you think, if not equal. I repeat: keep Boomer and Sooner (the Schooner mascot ponies) off the field. No ponies—no points! Long live the binturong!

In early 2011 armed with a cheap mixer and a free recording program they quickly wrote and recorded their first EP which was produced completely DIY and hundreds of copies given away.
They've toured the UK from tiny living rooms, basements and wood-panelled pubs to mid sized venues, sold... a small mountain of t-shirts, printed several trees worth of stickers, been played on BBC Radio 1 and even been tipped as one of BBC Radio Scotland's Top 35 Scottish Artists to watch 2012.
Their incredibly energetic live shows include synths, erratic jamming and pop melodies in-between bursts of ferocious garage punk that sounds somewhere between Black Flag, Fucked Up and Jay Reatard.

Karl Lagerfeld is launching a new, affordable womenswear label, entitled Karl, which is expected to go on sale in January exclusively on Net-A-Porter.com. Prices for the rock 'n' roll-inspired collection start at $95 to $450.
"It's my today's taste and style and a reflection of how I think a great number of people would like to be dressed now," Lagerfeld told WWD. "I just want not too expensive clothes that people may like and perhaps want to wear. That was my concept for a long time, but my business partners in the past wanted to be like Chanel or Fendi without putting behind what is needed to be like that."
The 100-piece range will feature evening and daywear, including timeless black dresses with plunging backs, silver jeans and vest tops. Although the collection will launch initially online, there are plans to open dedicated Karl Lagerfeld stores and temporary boutiques.
"We are thrilled and proud to be the exclusive partner for the launch of KARL," said Net-A-Porter.com founder and executive chairman Natalie Massenet. "From the moment we saw the collection we were hooked and we can't wait to introduce this to a global fashion consumer for whom Karl Lagerfeld is an icon in his own right. The collection will speak to every woman who wants a bit of the inimitable fabulous street chic that Karl Lagerfeld is known for. And given Karl's fascination with all things modern, this will be a 21st Century launch - globally available, in-season for instant gratification and harnessing the power of the digital media and social commerce. It's truly an honour for us to collaborate with Karl and his team."

Obama returns to Valley after Orange County trip
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - President Obama began his Saturday with a quick trip to Orange County.
He left Palm Springs International Airport just after 8:30 a.m. headed to a democratic fundraiser in Laguna Beach. The roundtable discussion, held at a private residence, was attended by about 25 supporters who paid $32,000 dollars a plate.
"I know one of our volunteers injured herself and can't be there and her doctor jokingly said can I have your ticket? So that's how hot that ticket is," said UCI Spokeswoman Cathy Lawhon.
At 11 a.m. the President took off in Marine One bound for Angels Stadium, where he gave the commencement speech for U.C. Irvine's graduation.
Students launched a creative campaign to get the President to come by sending 10,000 postcards to the White House along with a student-produced video featuring the men's basketball team.
"At end of the video our tallest center, who's 7'6 invited President Obama to a one-on-one pick up game," said Wilbert Cheng, one of the student's who created the video.
And the President said the campaign worked.
"I'm here for a simple reason, you asked," Obama said in his speech.
He focused much of his speech on the growing threat of climate change, urging students to listen to science over cynicism. He said tackling climate issues is one of the country's greatest economic opportunities.
"A low-carbon clean energy economy can be engine for growth and jobs for decades to come, and I want America to build that engine, because if we do others will follow," Obama said.
After the President's speech, Airforce One took off at about 1:30 p.m. and made its return to Palm Springs, landing just after 2 p.m.
The plans for the President, First lady, and daughter, Malia, are still under wraps for the remainder of the weekend.

Read my review - 3/5 stars
La Fortuna Waterfall
La Fortuna River
La Fortuna, Cost Rica
La Fortuna is most definitely worth the visit. The cost from San Jose to La Fortuna was ~8USD. We climbed through the mountains surrounded by rich rainforest foliage and fruit trees. Reading through our guide book we knew that Volcan Arenal was the main attraction of this area, along with the hot spring that abound nearby. We checked into a very comfortable hostel called La Posada Inn. It was a great place with a tranquil garden where you could sit in the open kitchen and admire the beauty of trees, ants, beetles and fruit trees
Rodrigo and I walked with Elaine (a friendly woman who worked at the hostel) to the River of La Fortuna. It was a crystal clear river off the road lined by rainforest and cradled between boulders that created several waterfalls and a distinct swimming hole all on the backdrop of Volcan Arenal. Right in the middle of the hole hangs a rope tied 6 meters in a tree. Locals come to this spot to swim in the middle of the day when the sun is the hottest. People take turns climbing, swinging and jumping into the picturesque swimming hole. On the boulders young men simultaneously hang lines in the waterfall to take home the catch of the day. We each jumped and explored the boulders up and around the waterfall. The sun shined in through the canopy of the rainforest warming the rocks and our pale Alaskan skin. All afternoon we played and even made a friend.
Emanuel was born in La Fortuna. He knew the entire place like one knows their old home stomping ground. He took us on a walk through the forest we saw 3 different frog species, ate from a guava tree, saw horses and admired the intricate green and wood architecture of the rainforest. This place was exactly what we needed to start our adventure and ended up being our favourite.
Zipline Canopy Tour, La Fortuna
We couldn't pass up swinging across meters of cable high through the Costa Rican canopy. We signed up on an impulse for a good price with Parque Ecologico La Fortuna. The company was professional and I felt safe throughout the adventure. We climbed for 20 minutes via tractor and walked 10 more minutes to reach the first platform. There were 12 cables strung through the park with minimal disturbance to the wildlife. We were hooked on one by one onto each cable high up in the canopy and as we laid back with our legs up we jetted across the cable with birds eye view of the mountain sides, forest canopy and the very breath taking La Fortuna Waterfall. I heard one of the girls say she understands more what it is like to be a bird. I felt the same way.
The longest cable was 980m in length you had to make sure you did not brake (brake was a simple leather mitten which you held onto the cable with and pulled to stop) or you could stop without reaching the other platform. If this did happen you would have to climb (think of scenes from cliffhanger). Rodrigo had no problem slowing down because of course the more you weigh the faster you go. I slowed down a fair bit but never to a complete stop although I kind of wanted to. On the second to last cable the sky closed up and poured tropical rain down
At the end of the zip lining we were invited to visit a typical Maleku (indigenous Costa Rican culture) dwelling that was staged for us to learn about their culture. Inside the tree and palm structure was a fire that was constantly burning and two Maleku Indians who spoke about their customs and traditional way of life including sharing their language. The Maleku people live from their agriculture and artesan artwork that they sell to tourists. In recent years they have had little respect and or support from the Costa Rican Government and constantly face the challenge of loosing their land to modern Costa Rican's without any compensation. Their peaceful demeanor and beautiful artwork should be valued by the people and conserved for future generations.
We ended the tour by riding down the mountain on horses. Rodrigo was really excited about riding his own horse and I was too. We were introduced to our horses and happily got to know them. We started the walk off slowly. It was so different to maneuver a horse vs a car
Baldi Hot Springs
Since we knew we would be leaving the next day we needed to fit in a visit to the infamous Baldi Hot Springs. These hot springs feature 25 pools with 12 temperatures amongst exuberant waterfalls and tropical gardens that make you feel like you are in the Garden of Eden. We found the water slides a the top of the park and instead of treating the hot springs like a relaxation retreat we became young kids at a theme park. We through ourselves through all of the slides until we went down slide #2 which we were told hurt. The workers were right. I was tossed up the side in the tube slide and landed uber hard on my butt, then immediately the high speed entrance to the water gave me an atomic wedgy. I don't recommend that slide (it burnt a whole in my bikini bottoms (note Victoria Secret doesn't make practical bikinis for adventurous women).
We spent the rest of the night visiting warm mineral waters of the romantic pools and playing in the beautifully constructed waterfalls
Today we have returned to San Jose. This is our stop over before Matapalo where we will be volunteering with ASVO on Sea Turtle Conservation. ASVO is a non government non profit who's focus is Wildlife Conservation and Management through Education. I am excited for Rodrigo to see his first Sea Turtle and enjoy working and supporting organizations like ASVO.

I got to have some great conversations with them--about Tenerife wine, Spanish learning, English accents and medical school--and get to wrap up my hospital work.

BeschreibungJulian's Cell is a unique work of historical fiction, an attempt to imagine Julian of Norwich's life as it could have been. This is the earthy story of "Katherine" - daughter of a stern and bitter mother. Married at age 16 to Walter, she loses both her children and her husband during the great plagues. She has visions of the passion of Christ and becomes an anchorite - she is "buried alive" in a cell attached to St. Julian's church to lead a life devoted to prayer and spiritual counsel. Today she is known as Mother Julian, or Julian of Norwich, the first woman to write in the English language, and one of the greatest Christian theologians and mystics of all time.

If you're just a road and trail guy, Serfas, Specialized and Canondale all make "inverse tread" tires that offer superb puncture resistance along with good riding qualities. They're not the lightest, but you'll have even less to worry about when it comes to road hazards.
As for going thinner: abso-frickin-lutely go with skinnies. It'll focus your weight on a smaller patch of road, increasing traction while reducing rolling resistance. For hard surfaces you want a small contact patch, for softer surfaces you want a large contact patch. One thing to keep in mind is your tire pump, since skinny tires are often higher pressure tires. My Specialized tires that I used on my old (unfortunately stolen) mountain bike were 85psi tires. The tires on my 700x23c road bike are 135psi. Just be sure your tire pump can safely reach the desired pressure.

Hey, Fellow Swifties!
My obsession with Miss Swift started about 2 years ago, when a friend told me she loved the song "Haunted". I listened to it, and I loved it. I thought my friend was really cool, so I decided I'll become a Swiftie. But, it wasn't a fake obsession. My love for Taylor came naturally, and I found true meaning in her songs. The first song I ever listened to was Love Story.
I'm addicted to my laptop. Always. I get upset when someone threatens to take it away. In fact, I've learned all the Taylor songs on piano from Synthesia! (A computer program that shows you how to play piano)
Anyways, I'm Meredith. (I get a lot of recognition because my name is Taylor's cat's name.) I'm 17 and from New Jersey. I like Winter, but Spring and Summer are beautiful. When I'm bored I'm either on my laptop, practicing dance, or playing my guitar or piano. I know a few Taylor songs. I love mint. (The color and the food). And lace, sunshine, and polka dots. I also write songs. I don't have a songbook because I don't feel it's necessary.
That's my bio, what about you?

PM's latest annoying responsibility
Posted by Tom Grant on February 24, 2010
- 318 Recommendations

The more social we get, the more we expose about ourselves. That's a fact of life that antedates social media, the Internet, or computers. From this perspective, social media are just a new way to reveal ourselves, sometimes by choice, other times not.
For the PM in charge of product requirements or release checklists, working on a social media product requires standing your ground on security and privacy issues. I won't beat on the unfortunate launch of Google Buzz further, except to make one last point. To avoid the sort of morass in which Google finds itself, someone in PM needs to have both the authority to insist on whatever external testing, use case analysis, red team testing—some way, any way, to avoid a class action lawsuit.
Unfortunately, very few PMs are experts in security and privacy. Historically, compliance and risk management don't overshadow the tech industry the way they figure prominently in pharmaceuticals and other tightly-regulated verticals. The section 508 requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act, an important box to check before releasing a new product, is the closest many PMs get to anything resembling regulation.
That situation may change. Security specialists in tech companies deal with technical issues like, "How vulnerable are we to cross-site attacks?" Normally, they are not the people who think through the capabilities of the product to see if there is some way that product might compromise security or privacy. Even if they volunteered for the job, it's not feasible to bring them into the product development cycle early enough to make a difference. Nor will they be able to stay engaged to monitor how the features inevitably change over the course of development.
Therefore, it's unavoidable that security, risk management, privacy, and related issues naturally fall into the laps of PMs. Social media products raise questions about who can pry into your personal information, or how these details might become public without your permission or knowledge. Other products create different risks. For example, the Strange Case Of The Voyeuristic Laptops at a Philadelphia-area high school raises the question, is the company that produced the software used to spy on students at all liable for the abuse of the technology? Does circumventing an operating system's security features create other points of legal exposure?
I've yet to meet a PM who loves dealing with these kinds of issues. Who wants to be the person who, in a release meeting, presents the 15 potential security problems that need to be addressed before the product ships? Particularly if, just before you, someone gave a brilliant demo of how incredibly cool the product will be, if only it could get into the hands of customers. And, of course, success is defined as the absence of problems, not positive gains that everyone can celebrate. ("Woohoo! Three product releases without a lawsuit!") Sadly, I don't see a way of avoiding this responsibility.

Comment from Saeed Khan (not verified) on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 18:50
This is a good example of where having differentiated roles in the Product Management organization would make sense.
If security and privacy are important to a company's strategy -- or if Product Management identifies them and advocates focus on them -- then having someone (or several someones if the company is big enough) in the PM org who can align security/privacy priorities of the market, company and product would make sense.
And that's a proactive task of course, not something raised at a release meeting.
PMs in B2B companies have to deal with SOX issues regularly -- security is a big part of that -- so it's not something that is alien to many of us. And of course B2C products/services have their own privacy and security issues.
For Product Management to grow and deliver additional value to a company, we need to stop thinking of Product Managers as individuals with horizontal product responsibilities.
They should be viewed -- like every other department views their own staff -- as members of a team/dept that has both hierarchies of responsibility and differentiation of roles.

Comment from Soumya Mitra (not verified) on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 13:38
Thank you for highlighting a real issue, security and privacy related technicalities are so specialized and involved that even engineers are often not qualified to comment on safety of their own code. Often all we get is an evasive answer on stack overflow, cross site scripting, PCI compliance, Java keystore, single sign-on and other plethora of security related questions.
Recent enterprise software trend is to become web service based, cloud enabled with built in social network features. This also increases their risk of getting hacked, unauthorized access, stolen identity and various other security and privacy issues. Enterprise software PMs now need in-house security, privacy and compliance experts more than ever.

Ards out to rock Linfield with knockout blow
Former Linfield star Justin McBride is keen to avoid a second does of the Blues for Ards tonight.
The last time Ards met Linfield David Jeffrey's men coasted to a big victory, but Ards will be looking for better when the sides go haed to head tonight in the County Antrim Shield.
With the Northern Ireland international at Windsor tomorrow, the Shield game has been switched to Dixon Park in Ballyclare.
Ards assistant manager McBride, who played for Glentoran as well as the Blues, said: "It's a big game for us against a quality side and if you can't raise your game against a team like Linfield, then you should not be playing football.
"In my days under Roy Coyle and David Jeffrey, they wanted to win every match and there will be no favours out there.
"I just hope we do better than the last time we met in the Irish Cup a couple of years back when it was 5-0 at half-time. It was embarassing at times.
"We played Newry and Dungannon Swifts in pre-season friendlies and were not overawed losing 4-3 and 4-2. Linfield are a bit different but a lot will depend on their attitude after Saturday's start to the season.
"We have a good squad and the determination to get at them and hopefully rattle them."
Ards welcome back striker Darren Stirling for tonight though ex-Rangers player Paul McKnight will not be available due to work commitments while defender Darren Nixon misses out due to a shoulder injury.
Linfield boss David Jeffrey may opt to use his squad after Saturday's 2-2 draw with Coleraine.
Elsewhere in the Shield tonight holders Cliftonville host PSNI, Ballymena United are at home to H&W Welders, Carrick Rangers face a trip to Crusaders and Donegal Celtic are at home to Ballyclare. All kick off at 7.45pm.

The Clintons' War on Gun Rights
By Tom Fitton
CNSNews.com Commentary
July 18, 2006
What kind of President will Hillary Clinton make? Giving her ethical failings, I realize this is a disturbing thought, but we must consider it as Senator Clinton remains the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination for president in 2008.
The way I figure it, with the Clintons, past is prologue. Bill Clinton's unfinished illicit business as president will be Hillary's to take up if elected. That's why Judicial Watch's investigations team has been inspecting the newly released Clinton Presidential Library records.
(We don't endorse or oppose candidates, but it is part of educational and corruption-fighting mission to see the Clintons held accountable.)
Recently, our investigations team uncovered documents that provide some interesting, and troubling, details about the Clintons' plan to destroy the gun industry, a la "Big Tobacco." Here's just a sample of what we discovered:
-- A memorandum from former Clinton Advisor Sidney Blumenthal to Bruce Reed, Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, dated November 9, 1998, which reads: "I've enclosed an article and a press release about the new effort to file class action suits against gun manufacturers. I think this is a very promising idea. Let's talk about it soon." The press release, from the Office of the Mayor of New Orleans, was in draft form, suggesting the Mayor coordinated the strategy with the Clinton White House.
-- The "promising idea" identified by Blumenthal involved filing massive product liability and negligence lawsuits against major handgun makers, "the opening salvo in a campaign against the gun industry by an alliance of anti-tobacco attorneys and local governments," wrote The Los Angeles Times. According to one of the lawyers involved in the lawsuits: "We are going to do to [the gun industry] what we did to tobacco. It's going to be a very large war."
-- Our investigators also uncovered a March 6, 2000 letter from New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer with a handwritten note at the top from Bill Clinton to then-White House Deputy Counsel Bruce Lindsey, which reads: "Bruce, See me re: this...has some good ideas for future."
Among the "good ideas" -- denying gun manufacturers the right to sell guns to the military and law enforcement unless they sign an anti-gun "code of conduct" that would cripple the industry.
Clinton and the anti-gun rights crowd used this extortive litigation strategy to strong-arm gun manufacturer Smith and Wesson into adopting some of their policies. President Bush put an end to the federal abuse of the gun industry in 2000. Will a "President Hillary" revert back to government extortion of the gun industry?

::: NRA Law Enforcement Firearms Instructor, Military Veteran, Public Safety Professional :::
Yes it was a song. Also, an famous intern - as I recall.
Walk steathly - and carry a big Springfield.
Hillery is a threat to all civilized forms of government especially that of the USA.
Just too depressing to contemplate, both that she could win a major party's nomination and win the overall race.
Depressing enough to contemplate that anyone I consider a member of my species would vote for her.
Even if the Dems take over in '06, we can't let HER/IT into the White House after the '08 election.
some republicans would love to see her get the democrats' nomination in '08.
they think she's easy to beat.
my gut feeling is that she could never win the presidency.
she's repulsive.
I don't think I could hear her screech for four years. I'd have to wear my hearing protectors all the time!
Walk steathly - and carry a big Springfield.
I will say just this - if I were to post all my thoughts on this <cough> lady - I would have to ban myself outright!

Craig Police Chief: ACET essential for fighting local drug trade
February 14, 2012
"I don't see how individually any of us could accomplish what the task force can. … A multi-agency task force breaks down jurisdictional boundaries. Officers are free to work wherever the investigation takes them, and if necessary, get additional support from those (partnering) agencies."
— Walt Vanatta, Craig Police Department chief, about the importance of the All Crimes Enforcement Team
A complete picture of the All Crimes Enforcement Team's 2011 activity wasn't fully reflected in a year-end report, a task force board member said.
A Craig Daily Press editorial published Feb. 1 questioned the task force's effectiveness based on numbers provided in the 2011 report.
In response to the opinion piece, Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta provided the newspaper with a news release that included information he said gives perspective to the report written by ACET Commander Marvin Cameron.
"There are reasons for a perceived reduction in numbers," Vanatta said. "Most of them are budget driven."
Two funding streams — grants and asset forfeitures — have dwindled over the years, changing the way cooperating agencies approach funding ACET, according to the release.
"We, as a board, have recognized for the last couple of years that not only was grant funding drying up, but funds obtained from asset forfeiture have become nonexistent," Vanatta wrote in the release. "With that in mind, we have taken every step available to reduce operating costs. We have also recognized that if the task force is going to continue operations in the future, we are going to have to become self-funded and not rely on grants."
Operating as a self-funded agency comes with budget restrictions as well, especially in an economy where budget cuts have become commonplace.
Vanatta said budget cuts for all agencies participating in the task force last year, coupled with an overall lack of grant money, resulted in ACET having no money earmarked for overtime.
"The only overtime officers can work is whatever their home agency can afford or they can flex off," Vanatta wrote, adding that overtime is critical to ACET investigations. "Drug cases take hours to work, at all hours of the day and days of (the) week. It is not conducive to a (40-hour) schedule."
Manpower issues have had an effect on ACET as well, Vanatta said.
When local agencies assumed control of the task force from the Drug Enforcement Agency in 2006, there were six agents on the task force: one each from the Moffat and Routt county sheriff's offices, one each from Craig and Steamboat Springs police departments, and two outgoing DEA agents.
In 2007, the Routt County Sheriff's Office withdrew from the task force. Coupled with the loss of two DEA agents, only three members remained on the task force, according to the release.
"Officers have 2,080 hours of scheduled time in a year and … there just aren't enough hours to get all the work done," Vanatta said. Even when officers make an arrest, they have to take time off investigating other cases to appear in court, he added.
"If we had six people on the team again you would see much larger numbers, but we all know that isn't going to happen," the police chief said.
Turnover of task force personnel is another factor that determines how much the task force is able to accomplish.
Vanatta said when a task force member retires or takes a job elsewhere, it takes "a month or two" to choose and train a replacement as well as find someone to fill the new member's previous position.
"When you have a team of three people, missing one has a big effect," he said.
That's the case with the Routt County Sheriff's Office, which agreed to rejoin ACET last year but is still in the process of training personnel to provide a fourth task force member, according to the release.
Vanatta also said effects of the work done by the task force aren't always visible to the community, especially when considering how much it would cost individual communities to fight the illegal drug trade.
"For example, if ACET had not been available to deal with the meth lab in Hayden, it could have cost the town up to $50,000 (to close and dismantle)," he wrote.
Numbers aside, Vanatta said the task force is the most effective way for regions such as Northwest Colorado to overcome jurisdictional restrictions to combat the presence of illegal drugs and the crime that accompanies them.
"I don't see how individually any of us could accomplish what the task force can," Vanatta said. "… A multi-agency task force breaks down jurisdictional boundaries. Officers are free to work wherever the investigation takes them, and if necessary, get additional support from those (partnering) agencies.
"It also allows for continuity of prosecution. The conviction rate for those charged by the task force is almost 100 percent."
Given the task force's conviction rate along with the realization the war on drugs is never ending, Vanatta said ACET is indispensable.
"I feel it is essential we keep the task force in operation even if we have to fund the entire operation without grant funding," he said. "This unit is having a direct impact on improving the quality of life in the Yampa Valley.
"Without this coordinated effort, the drug and crime-related problems we are experiencing now will have the opportunity to grow pretty much unchecked in our communities."
